LETTER FROM JIM SN0DGRASS

To the Honorable Sons of Rest
 According to promise, 1 am again for the gcod of the order. 1 am just in off another long trip and find we stand pat. Our calling and election is sure.
 The only thing that embar- ases me in appearing before you is that 1 was educated in an ear ly day, which is not modern and up to date with the with the smart Alex' of today. Out side of going to school at Fay etteville a short term in 1873 when Prof. Gates was President People at that time were big hearted. They were not stingy, When they built a school house they cut down trees, split them one half open and made the walls without ever taking the bark off, had rib poles for raft CTS, weight poles for nails to hold boards on, split logs for seats. There were no patent seats. Tue only pupils that leant back were those that got in first when tho teacher hol- lered books, and got seat next to the wall. We dare not look up while in the school room for the sawyers would throw saw dust in our eyes.
 Look at today. These sudden changes are what give us the grip, yet the doctors can't ac- count for it. 1 can. It is said by the smart Alex of today that the people are wiser than ever before but it is not acbordiDg to the Bible. The good book tells us that what is to be has already been, and that what has already be9n is to be. That shows that people in ancient days had the same smart spells we do today. They did not know what was best for them to do and what they did do put them out of bus mess.
 They were right where the farmers stand today. The farm CT reads so much about Andrew Carnegie, the Rothchilds and others that they want to get rich quick and they undertake to raise cotton to get wealth but verify l say unto you that their last state is worse than their first for they now find them- selves without corn, without meat, without God and without hope in the world and that to come. The bible tells us that those of us who do not provide for our own households are worse than Infidels, and a large per cent of us are not doing it. The northern farmer tells us iie cannot afford to feed any more corn to hogs with the fancy prices they are getting for corn. That means that during 1909 we will have to live on bread alone. This is the initiatory degree. next year will be the first. That will be one of the most impress sive degrees. It teaches us to work out our own salvation with

Through the piece of glass ln my pa- per window saw the interpreter spread his carpet in front of his house just opposite the one in which was living. Ills wife and child sat quite close to him talking loudly with some visitors, but this did not in the least disturb the old man at his devotionS.
 Tn spite of the noise the melodlous chanting of the Koran was quite au- dlble. The worshiper kotowed several times and cried Allah, Allah, Allah! then for awhile stood reverentally clasping his hands crosswise upon his breast. after which he joined in the conversation.
 Ills wife then went through the same performance, doing exactly the same as her husband. This they do every morning and evening whether there are friends with them or not"

If the average conceIted man had the least idea of the handI. cap under which he is laboring he'd shed 1t mighty quick. But he hasn't and it's impossible to drill 1t into him.

The County Chairman.

The political comedy "The County
Chairman" presented at the Audi
forum Saturday night. by large and
capable company, was seen for the
first time in Norfolk, giving local thea
ter patrons an opportunity of seeing
that the praise which has been given
this typical American play by George
AIDE was well merlted.
The audience, while not as large as
the nature of the production and the
scale of prices warranted, was still of
fair proportions.
The play was laugh provoking. The
story was near enough home to be
easily appreciated.

chairman, headed large company
well fitted on the whole for their re-
spective parts in AIDES delectable
comedy. Chatterton's own part might
have been written especially for him,
so easily did he slip into the attributes
so naturally piled by AIDE upon his
central character.

Dry Goods Golno Up,

Rising prices in the wholesale dry
goods markets, indicating final re.
covery from the depressing effect of
the panic of a year ago, are reported
by A. l.. Killian, who just returned
from business trip to Chicago While
the prices will continue to go up, Mr..
Killian says that it is not thought
that the high level before the furry of
year ago will be quite reached.
Retail purchasers will not, however,
note the advance yet Prices next
spring in many instances will be lower
than a year ago because most of the
goods sold last spring were purchased
by the merchants before the decline
in prices.
To get in ahead of the cotton goods
market, which he found rising, Mr..
Killian ordered goods which will not
see his shelf until the first of the
year shipped at once to Norfolk,
where the goods will be stored against
the rising market.
The outside trade of the Chicago
wholesale houses was good, Mr.. Kill
liam said, at this time.
