Resolution of Respect

Brother H. S. Porter departed this
life the 26th day of April, 1912.
Whereas our Heavenly Father, the
great Architect of the Universe, has
seen fit in his divine providence to
remove from our band of brothers,
H. S. Porter, taking him from his un-
finished work of the Tabernacle here
below to the completed Temple of
the Holy of Holes above, therefore,
be it
Resolved: That the Craft duly regret
the loss of this worthy brother from
our midst, that in his death Mt. Joy
Lodge No. 203 A. F. M. sustains the
loss of a faithful, energetic and true
member-his brother Craftsmen
loyal, true and tried companion and
friend-the community a good, up
right and conscientious citizen-the
church a faithful and helpful mem
ber, while the family has lost a de-
voted and loving father.
Brother Porter joined the Ancient
Free Masons at old Skull Shoals
Lodge No. 113 three and a half miles
east of Kelton in the year of 1866 and
after the lodge was moved to Cow
dysville he remained member there
for few years and was demitted
from that Lodge to become a charter
member of Mt. Joy Lodge No. 2O3,
A. F. M, in the year 1879, and during
his Masonic life he was always at his
place in the Lodge and has filled sew
eral offices therefore be it resolved
that we bow in submission to the will
of God, and these resolutions be in
,scribed upon page of our Minutes
book, copy published in the Union
Times, as it was and has been always
his County paper, and a copy be sent
to his family, and that COPY be
filed in the Archives of our Lodge.

machinery, but the new engine and
road scrapes which have recently

of Commissioners, seems to us to be
a wise investment The work done
by this machine is simply marvel
Gus. The rapidity and ease with
with which the work is done land the
satisfactory results of the work when
done is simply astonishing. We feel
sure the day of good roads for Un-

feel sure the good work being done
by the new machinery will commend
the venture to all our people. Good

are the important things, and we hail
with delight every move that promis-
es the betterment of these institu-
tions.

In Defense Of Blease. .
Editor Union Times:

Editor Union Times:
Dear Sir: l have just read your
piece in opposition to- Governor
Blease, as copied by The State. No
doubt the intended purpose was fur
nishing fuel to the fire of the Column
bia State upon our Governor, but we
have long since learned to know that
the more fuel the. stronger the blast,
to throw the Governor farther from
the faggots. and while we know that
by their unfairness the newspapers
have lost their influence in SHAPING
policies Of the state. We also notice
that when a man turns from Blease
he is very desirous of having the pub
lie know it.
See headlines in The State, "Wel-
born Quits Blease", tells his friends.
Not so with the many now turning
to Blease; they seem penitent for the
reason that they are really sorry
that they should ever have espoused
the cause of Jones, though they are
none the less happy; like all people
converted from evil to good, become
serious until the baptism, which will
take lpace on the 9th of August,
1912, by immersing folded paper
into a little wooden box with the echo
of the splash: "Cole". Then the feel
ing of relief descending like the dove
of peace upon them, and the .exclama-
ton, GLORY to God in the highest, I
have done my duty to my country"
Mr.. Editor, l am sorry to see you
take the curse you have, for l GER
tainly entertain something more than
mere friendship for Union, especially
The Times, remembering the nice
things it said about my wedding there
in 1876, when l married daughter
of the late w. A. Robinson. q whom
it has been said by many that he was
one among the best citizens that ever
slept on Unisn soil. am proud to
say that have for wife, his daugh-
ter, chip off the old block. God
knows she is good woman. Mr..
Editor, what do you think! On one
occasion while this good, woman was
going to visit those good parents,
was forced to stand up in the coach
with 30-pound baby in her arms
from Strothers to Union. 20 miles, be;
cause of the train being crowded
big buck to vacate seat, which he
did, but she absolutely refused (God
bless herr to sit where he had been
seated, and remained standing, but
the burdensome weight of the baby
proved too much for her and made
her sick. About this very time the
great redeemer Jones was voting
against separate coaches for whites
and blacks, and one of his excuses is
that he thought the whites could sit
in one end of the coach and the blacks
in the other.
Now, Mr.. Editor, suppose you (be.
fore going too far) heed the warnings
of the Rev. E. c. Bailey, whose head.
4
July 9th: "Stop! Look and Listen!'
This warming of course was intended
for Jones' trains, for everybody
knows that all Blease trains have the
right of way.
Very respectfully,

sincerely trust this may continue to
be the case at each of the meetings.
We boast of our free speech in this
free country, and we may well prize
this treasure. But there should not
be allowed the use of indecent and
villianous attacks. Such attacks are
no less than libert yrun to license,
and that. is poor substitute for free
speech.
