ting that he tell tho.-e present some
thing of the principles of the Oul. r
. whien hm , tiiough yo.iDg in Ashe
boro, already shown active i u teres r
io tue cause of education iu thin
community.
The address was interesting und
instructive, and not only will it pro
duce niocn good to trie Order iu
this community, but will serve well
the cause of educatiou here.
ike Epeakr was pleasantly intro
duced by Vim. C. Hammer, who
briefly referred tc the woik the Ju
niors aie doing in this and other
states for the cause of education and
higher citizenship. -
In opening bis address Mr. Smith
announced the work that the Junior
Order 8 too i for as follows:
While only a few years ago the
membership of the J u mors was
numbered iu huudrtds, today they
are numbered by the thousands,
and numerically tnis is one of the
strongest secret ordeis iu the ,Ute.
Theie are 17000 men iu this or
der iu North Carolina who stand
pledged to lerform certain duties.
Tney stand .pledged to protect t he
home and home institution?; with
might and mam, heart and soul
they aiepleuged t the advancement
of the cause of education and coui
pulsory school attendance; for sep
eration ot Church aud Slate t'orevei;
uualteraoly pledged to the open
Bible in the puunu schools in tiic
land; to assist eacn other in busi
ness, preferring one another; for a
grand Central National Orpuauage.
liefer ring to the latter cause to
which the Order is pledged, Mr.
Smith said at Tifliu, Onio, tne Juni
ors now have one ot the most mo
dern National Orphanages iu exist
ence. At that place the Older has
not only provided a place of shelter,
something to eat and wear and a
place ot retreat for the latherless,
and the mothi rless, but there the
mind is trained by the best teachers
that money can secure. There the
little ones are taken and trained tor
life's woik. armed aud equipped for
life's battles. WneL tntse child
reu leave tne Orphanage the boys
are craftsmen or skilled workmen
at some trade aud the girls are
trained nurses, telegraphers, steno
graphers, teachers, seamstresses or
whatever profession thej may choose
to enter. 1 hey are trained iu every
thing except J,b problem of lite,
and this is a problem that eacn must
work out for uimself or herself.
At this orphanage there are more
thau 200 children of deceased bre th
em of the Junior Older.
The whole fighting force of the
Order is arrayed iu the cause of the
children of the land as well us those
of the bretheru of tho Order. Never
does the Junior learn that a stand
is being made for better schools,
better pay for tescners, iucrea ed tax
' for school iniprovtnienu, aud longer
terms, but that the strength of the
organization is Teutered at that
place.
Another thing for which the Ju
niors stand is restriction of for
eizu imigration. lie stated that the
influx or foreigners to this country
now a-j.ounted to nbout 1,000,000
a month, which means that this
number of people arrive every
month who tire a menace to the

robbing the mails of $3000.
On Scpiembtr 30Ui, t here war
shipped from Richmond, through
Uui hum, a registered package, taid
to have contained, $3000. When ir

age had heeu rifled of the contents.
James fields was the last clerk to
handle it. His brother, Bascotu,
contrary to the rule", he not being
employed bv the government, rode
in the car with his brother that day,
and upon suspiciou he was also ar
rested. A few days after the disappear
ance of the nmtuv Mr. James Field
went to Liberty, Randolph County,
and was married to Miss Williams
a daughter of J. M. Willianif. r
fore leaving Durha'ii for Liberty, he
was notified that he was under sus
picion aud his baggage was searched;
he was also scorched at Gifensboro
aud at Liberty by government, in
epeclors. Undaunted he entered
iuto the marriage contract and a
absent from the State several davs.
Upon his return he enteied upon his
run, continuing until his arrest.
The Field boys are sons of
prominent und highly esteemed
Methodist minister of Climax, Guil

KEPOllT dF ThIAL.
Durham, Oct. 8 The trial of
Messrs. James and Basooin Field, iu
the charge of mail robbery ocr.u red
lust night, and the court room of
the Uuited States Commissioner
presented an unusual scene. The
trial lasted all day. and when at. the
close the court bound the defendants
to court in a bond of $3,500 each,
the spectator numbering 200 or
more, faced the court with a storm
of hisses. Hisses came from every
part of the c nrt room.
When court adj mrned there was
a rush to the front to shake the
hands of the defendants, the aged
father and the young wife, as well
as tbe friends from Randolph who
came to attend the hearing.
It is evident that the public here
is disgusted with the decision of
commissioner Moye, after bearing
the evidence.
The boys are well thought of at
Durham.

lived a half mile away. The son
hastened to the home of his parents,
aud as he en'eied the door the fath
er made for him with the knife. An
ugly wound was inflicted from his
ear across the cheek to the nose,
