TURNING THE PAGE.
1912, wiih its joys, sorrows,
and disappointments, is now hisio
ry and we have turned over a
brand new leaf and placed upon
the wall a new calendar with ever
so many good resolutions for
1913. Did you slip and nuke
mistakes during the year 1912?
If so, profit by these mistakes. Go
on resolving, and resolving with a
steadfast purpose to do your level
best during the new year. Make
a new resolution daily. Do not
put them in rolls and heaps one
upon the other just a little reso
lution each day to do the very best
you can, asking for guidance from
on high. We cannot of our own
strength stand squarely and firmly
upon the resolutions we make.
There will be temptations in the
way, trials undreamed of, losses,
sorrows and many ills to which
the flesh is heir. All these things
will come upon us during 1913.
In order to meet them, to over
come them, we must live just one
little day at a time, no more. Re
solve now that you will endeavor
to keep clean and spotless the
pages of your book as you turn
them one by one, and in the lan
guage of Tiny Tim let us say,
"God bless every one of us."
Mr. Morgan felt that the con
trol of the great Equitable Life In

in his hands than those of Mr.

So far, nobody has accepted that
challenge to start a panic.

Rr the Consideration ol the Mass
Meeting at Halifax Monday.
Mr. Lditor: For the consid-;
eration of the voters of the county,
at the Mass Meeting, called by our
Senator and Representatives, to
be held at Halifax, the 6th, I sub
mit the following :
1. A longer school term and a
law compelling attendance of all
children between the ages of 8 and
14.
2. The Torrens system for
the registration of real estate.
3. A law prohibiting the distri
bution of liquor aevertisemenis in
North Carolina, in any form.
4. A law taxing all dogs and
requiring all owners to muzzle
them through the entire year. Cre
ate a fund from the tax, at each
county seat, and from this fund de
fray the expense of persons that
have been bitten, at the institution;
pay the owners for any stock that
dies or has to be killed from such
bites, and the balance, if any, be
paid into the school fund, thus
taking the cost of treatment oft'
of the Stale and putting it on the
owner of the dog, where it belongs.
5. Repeal the law protecting
the buzzard and place a bounty of
25c. for each one killed. Require
all owners to either burn or thor
oughly bury all animals, poultry,
etc , thai die, and also all refuse
and fine all persons that do not
comply with this law.
6. Make it misdemeanor for any
bank president, vice-president,
cashier, assistant cashier, or other
officer or clerk to pay out funds to
the order of any person, firm or
corporation, when such person,
firm or corporation does not have
sufficient funds to their credit to
fully cover such order or check,
and upon conviction of any officer,
clerk, etc., having defied this law
make the penal.y sufficient to guar
antee its fulfilment. (This seems
the only way that such practice can
be stopped.)
7. Make it a misdemeanor for
any person, firm or corporation to
draw drafts, checks or orders on
any bank, banking firm or public
depositary for certain funds when
they do not have such amount to
their credit, and upon conviction
fine them something like $50 and
cost. (This would doubtless help
relieve the situation.)
8. That we recommend a State
hospital for the treatment of tuber
culosis, and that every person be
required to be examined once each
year, at the expense of the State,
for tuberculosis, fining all persons
that fail to report for such exami
nations. 9. That we recommend State
aid in the building of Good Roads,
and we ask our representatives to
give their full support to this meas
ure. 10. That we recommend the
county officers being placed on a
salary basis, and that we have our
county books audited once a year by
an expert accountant of some rep
utable firm that has established its
standing.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted. A Taxpayer.

Organized at Halifax Monday To
Be Known as Grand Lodge ol
America, Order of Colonial Mas
ters. A new Grand Lodge of America,
Order Colonial Masters, was or
ganized at Halifax Monday, for
the purpose of perpetuating the
ante-bellum Masonic traditions and
memories of colonial days. There
was an afternoon and night session
concluding with a colonial ball and
reception, the participants appearing
in colonial costumes, the occasion
being one of the most noted and
brilliant in Halifax social circles for
generations.
Prominent in the work of organ
izing the new grand lodge is Harry
W. Gowen, master of Royal White
Hart Lodge, No. 2, A. E. and A.
M. In an interview Mr. Gowen
gives some interesting data as fol
lows :
Eligible members to the proposed
organization will be the masters
and past masters lof the colonial
lodges of America. There are
fifty-five of these colonial lodges in
the United States chartered prior
to 1776, whose members feel a
peculiar pride in the antiquity of
their organizations. Most of these
lodges are located in eastern cities,
from Portland, Me., to Savannah,
Ga., only two being in the west,
one at Marietta, 0., and the other
at Detroit, Mich.
Colonial lodges are located in
Portland, Me,; Portsmouth, N.H.;
Boston, Salem, Newburyport, Nan
tucket! and Gloucester, Mass.;
Providence and Newport, R. I.;
Harttord, New Haven, Norwich,
New London, Guilford, Water
bury, Fairfield, Greenwich, Nor
walk and Stratford, Conn. ; Albany,
Johnstown and New York, N. Y.;
Trenton, N. J.; Philadelphia, Pa.;
Wilmington, Del.; Baltimore, Md.;
Warrenton, Halifax, Edenton, Wil
mington, New Bern, Windsor,
Fayetteville and Tarboro, N. C;
Charleston, S. C; Savannah, Ga.;
Marietta, Ohio and Detroit, Michi
gan. The Royal White Hart Lodge
No. 2 of Halifax, is one of six
lodges in America chartered, direct
by the Grand Lodge of England,
all the other colonial lodges having
been chartered by the colonial
grand masters appointed by the
Grand Lodge of England.
Mr. Gowen entertained at his
home all the delegates present at
the gathering and the occasion was
one of the most pleasant in the Ma
sonic history of Halifax.
