The election of officers will take

usual custom, Deputy Grand Master
Plato Collins will be elected Grand

friends for this office, are: Messrs.
Perrin Busbee, of Raleigh; Joseph I.
King and Il. n. Penny, of Whining
ton; and Mr.. Shaw, of Oxford
This is the largest session that the
Grand Lodge has ever held. The at

session so far has been harmonious
and no changes in laws have been pro-
posed

called the father of the Home. The.

on the program of the annual session
of the congress in this city next fall
Congressman Adams was for many

great record for ability and fidelity.
He is serving his second term as con
gressman and Is considered one of the
ablest of the newer members of the

committee on agriculture. He made
an address at the session at Richmond
which was considered so able that it
was desired that he address the organ
ization at the next session and he has
positively agreed TO do so, although to
do this will make IL necessary for him
TO leave his own state in the heat or
