| WAC1 llICy were invited
to magnificent spread at Redmen's
headquarters here. And it was q
good spread too, even if the editor
happens to be local man and has
to say lt-in quality and quantity
sufficient for the most exactine. Mr.,
henderson asked tie blessing after
which all hands went to it including
Governor Blease who wanted to be
with the boys in their feast.
i Short talks were made by Mes
sers. Blease and Henderson after the
banquet and just before the time to
depart for the auditorium.
AT THE AUDITORIUM
When the hour of eight arrived a
large crowd had assembled at the
auditorium to hear the public exer-
cises. Notwithstanding it was
Saturday night and very few busi-
nessfpeople could leave their work
the large auditorium was comfort
ably filled with men and women to
hear the speakers. Col D. Fl. Mil
ton presided. Rev. J. NJ. Hilliard in
voked Divine guidance. The Gurney
Briggs quartette furnished the music
for the occasion.
The first speaker of the evening
was Hon D. E. Henderson, of New
Bern, who spoke extemporaneously
on the fraternal and business side
of Redmanship, etc, being introduce
ed by D. H. Milton. Mr.. henderson
made very timely talk and receiv-
ed good attention by his hearers
and suffice it to say that it fell on
good soil.
Dallas Zollicoffer, Esq, introduced
Governor Blease in short, to the
point talk.
When Mr.. Biease arose he was
greeted with great applause. Every
one was intensely interested in the
man and wanted to hear what he
had to say Those that came ex-
pecting a ribald speech were dis
appointed because the Governor de-
livered one of the most practi cal
talks along every day life as it
affected the fraternity of Red men
you ever e lrd. 1t was full of ginger
at times yet basked in the sunlight
of beauty and gentleness. AT times
he would bring tears to the eyes. fol- |
lowed by an outburst of laughter !
provoked by a funny incident relat-
ed. His tribute to womanhood was a
gem and the ideal character he held
up to the men was noteworthy.
The Governor does not believe in
shams-of trying to fool your fellow
man when we are responsible to
God alone On every hand his
speech was complimented.
Clifton J. Parrot, Great Sachem
of Virginia, followed and made a
very fine impression on the audience.
He kept his hearers in an uproar of
laughter most of the time. MIR. Par
rot is an enthusiastic fraternalist
and a fine fellow.
At the conclusion of his speech,
Rev. J.. M. Hiiiiard delivered the
benediction.

Messers. Herndon, York, Bradner,
Teetor, Kanoy, Wagner and others

half of the success Of the meeting
and the editor as chairman of the
reception committee desires to re-
turn thanks for the cooperation of
all, individually and collectively.
Scores of citizens shook he hands
Of Governor BIease while here, and
wished him success, telling him they
admired him for standing like a
stone wall for what he thought was
right regardless of what people said
The little chats the people had with
Mr.. Blease were enjoyable moments.
Blease has more admirers in High
Point since his speech at the audi
EoFium. The man was seen and
heard in person instead of read
about and here is where the people
generally get their best impression.
Messers. Milton, Walker, Herndon,
Stamey, York and Simpson enter
tanned the Governor at dinner at
the Etwood Saturday and took him
