The Odd Fellows.

Grand Master L. w. Moore has
arranged for an attendance con-
test in all the Lodges Of the
State, continuing through August
September and October. Each
lodge appoints two captains, and
between them the membership
of the lodge is equally divided.
Each side will endeavor to Guido
the other in securing the largest
attendance for the term Each
lodge will also contest with some
other lodge. Salem Lodge at
Winston-Salem will contest with
Queen City Lodge at Charlotte,
and Rockingham Lodge with
Cross-Creek Lodge at Fayette.
vile. The tWenty-odd District
Supervisors of the state were put
in competition with each other
for the distinction of being the
first to complete the organization
for the attendance contest, and
the Tenth District, to which
Rockingham Lodge belongs, was
the winner. Rockingham is not
only going to try to beat Fayette-
vile in the final contest, but also
to beat Wilmington, the home of
the Grand Master.
One way to win out is to in.
crease the membership in order
to increase the attendance.
Rockingham Lodge has been add.
ing to its membership lately at a
highly encouraging rate, and if
the tenets of the order were
more generally understood, the
increase in membership would
be even more rapid. Some are
deferred from joining by the fear
of being subjected to indignities
while having the degrees con-
ferred, but this fear is entirely
groundless. The degrees are
conferred in an impressive and
dignifed manner. and there is
nothing in the Ritual to which
anyone could reasonable object.
There is no such thing as having
fun at the expense of those who
are taking the degrees.
The promising features ofOdd
Fellowship will be set fourth in
articles to appear in later issues
of the POST. DISPATCH.
