RALEIGH, n. C., January 2.

being conducted by the pastor OF the
First Baptist church, OF which church
Mr.. Afford vas the senior deacon.
Deceased was 20 years OF age and was
n prominent man and a Mason. The
trouble grew out OF business differ
ences and the killing seems to have
been a cold-blooded affair. The muir
derer Immediately fed and made
good his escape, and to this { Mon
day) morning he had not been ap- |
pretended. He was assisted in his
escape, it is stated, by a relative,
lawyer of this city. When Governor
Aycock returns "a reward will prob
ably be offered for Bynnm.
Governor-elect Glenn is keeping the
army OF office-seekers on the ANXIOUS
seat as long as possible by the state
ment that he will make no anpOnnce-
ment of the selection OF any appll-
cant until he is ready to make the
appointment.
That was an important step taken
bv the school committee OF Raleigh
township, viz, the adoption OF a res
olution recommending to the 1Iegis-
lature the passage OF a compulsory
education law for Raleigh township,
which, OF course, includes the city OF
Raleigh. The gentlemen composing
the school committee are presumed
to know the needs and desires OF the
people of this community in such
matters and they speak byauthority:
There will be a special meeting OF
the Grand Lodge of MasOns on Tues
day, January 10, 1905, to lay the
corner stone of the Agricultural build
| ing at the North Carolina College OF
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts at
Raleigh. An address will be delivered
by Governor Charles b. AycOck, this
being the last act of his administra-
ton and his last public speech before
becoming a private citizen. The
Masonic ceremony will be performed
at $3.50 o'clock p. m. 1t is expected
that the Legislature will attend in Il
body, and that a very large number
OF MasOns from all over the State
will be present. 1t will be Il great
occasion, followed next day by the
Inauguration of Governor Glenn.

the annual communication of the
Grand Lodge of North Carolina, A. F.
and A. NJ, will be held in this city.
The prospects, the Grand Secretary
states, point to one of the most inter
esting and successful meetings, and
one of the most largely attended, in
the history of the Grand Lodge.
The growth of Masonry in this
State during the last few years has
been unprecedented and really re-
markable, and the fact is matter
for congratulation for the growth
of Masonry is not benefit to the
members OF the Oldest and grandest
of all orders alone, but blesses thous
: ands who have never been formally
initiated into the mysteries of the
order. The making of men better
benefits and blesses not only those
men individually, but all who come
within the sphere of their acts anC
influence. Men who are not Masons
, know that this is one of the effects
| that Masonry exercises.
1t is gratifying to note that it will
e not be long before the meetings o
e the Grand Lodge will be held in thei
proposed beautiful new Temple. Tn
plans and all the arrangements TO
, the erection OF the Masonic Tempt
@ are, we understand, now we'll undo
: way, and the contamination of tn
u long cherished wishes and effort
II which have been making for so man
years is not far in the distance. W
presume that during the session {
the Grand Lodge next month ever
:, arrangement, not already perfected
:, will be fully arranged, and that tn
work OF construction on the he
building will begin during the comm
spring.
