meeting Of Cedar camp, No. 5, w. O..
w, at the court house Friday evening
was fully as delightful as had been ex-
pected. There was a large crowd pres
ent. both Of the members of the camp
and their friends, and there was fine
spirit that pervaded the gathering and
made everyone feel that brotherhood is,
indeed, cardinal principle of the hosts
of the evening After short business
meeting at the lodge room the men,
bers repaired to the court house, where
they were joined by their guests. Mr.
w. H. Newbold, consul commander,
presided, and introduced the different
speakers. Mr. w. T. Slaughter Of
Hickory Grove, spoke first. Mr.. Slaugh-
ter told in a practical way of what the
order has accomplished in the way of
furnishing cheap and reliable insur-
ance and quoted SOME figures to show
how the order is impressing itself upon
the public as evidenced by its growth
and spread Mr.. Slaughters talk was
practical, earnest, and convincing.
Col. Thos. B. Butler came next, his
theme being fraternity. He spoke of
how the craze for money and power
has deadened the best impulses in
many of us and how the world has been
benefited by the organization of orders
with love and brotherhood as their
motto. Col. Buffers talk was highly
enjoyed Hon D. E. Finley and Mr.
Max G. Bryant of Rock Hill, also spoke,
their speeches being along the same
lines as the other two. Just after Col
Buffers speech halt was called, and
refreshments, consisting of delicious
cream and cake and lemonade, were
served by bevy of ladies.

Blacksburg, S. c., to stake off the
ground and make preliminary arrange
ments for building the new depot at
that point for the Southern railway
The contract for the tile roofing for
this structure has been let to the Gas
ton Metal and Roofing company OF
GastOnia. 49,. The advent of. the night
rider into this section is to be regret
ted inasmuch as it will give our state
undesirable notoriety. AS to its de-
veloping into anything serious, we do
not anticipate it, for the majority or
cotton raisers and members Of the Cot
ton Growers associations are of the
best class Of our citizenship and will
not countenance such proceedings on
the part of a few rash and unthinking
men. Cotton Weigher Wilson weigh
ed &C bales Of cotton Friday and At
Saturday. More than 46 bales were
ginned in Gastonia on Saturday, but
quite a number were either taken back
home by the owners or were sold else
where in the county. Gastonia prices
since the opening of the new season
have not been quite up to the prices
offered at some other points in the
county. For instance, so the Gazette
hears from reliable sources, while the
price here for some days has been y
