Governor Montague went on to say
that in the unprecedented growth of
this country, which is expanding SO
rapidly. and in which wealth is in
creasing by leaps and bounds, it is
essential that the American people
shall not forget the virtue which has
maintained the republic so far, for if
they turn their back upon justice they

the prevalent conflicts between capital
and labor and urged that such dis
putes be settled with regard to law
and justice. He deplored assassina-
tions as a means of righting real or
fancied wrongs, and denounced pri-
vate vengeance, punishment by mob

Asheville, n. c., Dec. 4.-The an
nuaI memorial services of Ashevile
Lodge, No. Sos, b. Z. o. e., were held
/ here yesterday afternoon with all the
beautiful sOlemnity which character
ICES these. services of the ElkS and
an added interest was lent the occa-
sion by an able address of Governor
a. j. Montague, of Virginia, who chose
as his subject Justice one of the
Fthree basic principles for which the
order stands. Despite the wintry De-
ccmber day, the coolest of the sea-
son, with lowering clouds and fitfui
snoWflakes there was large attend
ance and the audience appeared deep
ly impressed by the solemn service.
After the sadly beautiful prelude
by Miss Kimberly, the names of the
five departed brothers, whose tongues
can never more answer to the sound
of human voice, were called by the
lodge secretary, and as each earnest
invocation failed to bring q response,
a lighted candle burning on the stage
was snuffed out.
After a beautifully rendered solo
by Mrs. Hamilton, and the invocation.
r. M. Wells was introduced as the
eulogist.
Mr.. Wells referred in feeling tones
to each of the five departed, speaking
first of j. ID. Plummer, the founder of
the Asheville lodge, and who was its
of w. l. Boyer, w. r. Crawford, e.
F. McKissick, r. L. Cooper, A. p.
Boyd, and d. NJ. Luther, paying to
each a tribute and enumerating the
qualities which endeared him to his
fellows.
Exalted Ruler p. C. Cooke then in
troduced to the audience Governor
Montague, who announced that he
had chosen as the subject of his talk
Justice, suggested "by your noun
tain SUBMITS which seem to have fin
ished their struggles to have reached
contamination, in whose fuggG6
sides is strength, and on whose sum-
mits truth and justice should for
ever reign" Governor Montague
makes an excellent address. and his
effort this afternoon was listened to
with the closest attention. He said in
part:
Than justice, no virtue is more
glorious. high ideal of justice by
her people has builded your State, has
made her admired and respected with
in and without her borders, and is the
mainstay of the American people. As
long as this republic clings to her
nigh ideal of justice she lasts, when
she forgets it she falls. This is proven
by the history of every nation whose
deeds are now a memory of the past
nations whose people possessed a high
degree of civilization and cultivation,
and were versed lin the arts tart
sciences but who forgot this funda-
mental virtue of a national life. Some
of these nations perhaps surpassed us
in their knowledge of art and of the
sciences-but the tree of knowledge
is not tho tree of life. The Egyptians
for instance were highly cultivated
people. master architects, versed in
the arts, in sculpture. tomb builders

dealers have declined numerically
from 80 to 90.
Even more interesting than these fig
ures is the showing made in the mat
ter Of grain distillers. Two years ago
North Carolina had more of these in
stitutionS in operation within her
borders than any other State in the
Union. The number registered then
was 425, and todav there are only 66,
with 81 in actual operation. The
fruit distillery business, which even
now is larger than that in any other
State in the Union, has not been hit so
hard. Two years ago the number of
fruit stills at work was 442, while to-
day the number registered is 326, and
those in operation number 29S The
total number of distilleries in the State
when the Watts law went into op-
Grafton was $50 as compared with 1872
at the present time, and while this
is a remarkable shrinkage in the SOW
paw industry North Carolina still has
more registered distilleries than any
other State This, of course. includes
the large number of fruit disti!lerics.
Leads in Tobacco Manufacture.
The next most interesting fact dis
closed in Commissioner Yerkes an
nual report is the fact that North
Carolina has taken first rank as
manufacturer of both chewing and
smoking tobacco. Last year, and for
many years past, Missouri was first.
North Carolina manufacturers of
and smoking tobacco used
6S,502,49 pounds of tobacco during
the fiscal year as compared with So.
e33. .941 pounds a -ear ago.
North Carolina contributed $4,994,-
96S to the Federal government
THROUGH the Department of Internal
Revenue last year, which is in excess
to $4,667,1S2. The eastern
district was the largest contributor,
having 2,549.155 to it's credit. as com
pared with $2,445,S SIS turned in by
Collector Hawkins of the Western
District.
Grain is used 20 the extent of 246,
S77 bushels in feeding the distillers in
the State. Corn is tie favorite with
a total of 1S3.374 bushels while only
3S,127 bushels of rye are used. The
leader of the fruit distilleries is the
apple. Last year $4,000 gallons were
manufactured The numboc of gallons
of spirits rectified was 593, 3,919.
There are 81 cigar factories in the
State, which consume 29S,3 pounds
of tobacco. The cigarette factories
number and WELD total of 81 1885,
500 of these smokers. All told there
are sc tobacco factories in the State.
They consume o.er rs million pounds

Being Felt by Strikers and
Others in Chicago.
Families Suffer- Strikebreakers
Idle specials Without Pay.
More Rockingham Shot--Strikers' Offer Not
Very Cordially Received.

Chicago, June Substitution has en-.
tered the ranks of the men thrown out
of work on account of the teamsters
strike. Hundreds of families have beer
reported to be without support. Bene-
fits paid by the unions in many cases
are said to be inadequate to keep w
large families. Added to the thousands
of strikers have been many who lost
positions because of business depres-
simon directly attributed to labor
troubles. Scores Of men imported to the
city as strike breakers are said to have
become idle. Distress also comes from
another source. The county has not yet
paid salaries for the month of May to
extra men put on as deputy sheriffs.
When they will be paid is still uncer-
tain.
In riot, today. at North Franklin
and Superior streets, MoritZ Schrein
employed by the Brunswick Bake Col
lender Co., was shot i'll the arm by a
policeman who was guarding a non
union teamster on Il wagon belonging
to the Rurns Lumber Co. While it was
passing the Brunswick Bake Collender
building stones and scraps of iron and
sticks had been thrown at the wagon
With the union leaders preparing to
settle the teamsters' strike on the in
stallmcnt plan and the Employers AS
ISOLATION resolved that no plans for Il
settlement except such as comprise eV-
cry Strikc-bound interest will be en-
tertaincd. the prospects for cessation
of hostlitics were not bright, today.
The Transfers Joint Council hoped to
settle the strike "scctionally,' taking
the department stores first, and APP
pointed a committee of three members
of the Department Store Drivers Union
to meet the state street merchants. Ell
forts were made to arrange Il confer
ence, today.
The employers announced That they
would not make a settlement that did
not include every firm involved. How
ever. the teamsterS hoped their move
would prove an entering wedge leading
to larger negotiations.
