After some debate the lodge i C lls Pw of Gastonia. I . . . ;
decided - that the alleged 're
traction" was unsatisfactory and
did not rotract.
The Chancellor Commander
and Keeper of Records and Seal

a letter .stating that his state
ment was unsatisfactory, and
would not be accepted by the
Mecklenburg lodge : ,
The following letter was ac
cordingly mailed Editor Bivins
today :
Charlotte, N. C, Nov. 4.
Mr. J D Bivins, Editor, Albe
marle, N. C.
Dear Sir: We -note with
much interest your letter to our
Brother, W M Lyles, arid also
what you say in communication
published in Charlotte Observer
on November 3rd, in reference
to the charges which you pub
lished some days ago reflecting
upon the Pythians whq. recently
vi sited your town. You r first
publication in which you stated
that- the Pythians acted "dis
gracefully," made positive state
ments that" were very damaging
and that reflected on' every
Pythian who was in the party.
The members of our lodge who
attended sent you a prompt and
complete denial, and demanded
that you retract the slander.
Your article is only an explana
tion and is not a complete refu
tation. You still reflect on the
Pythians. You say that your
statement was made on the word
of Rev. N R Richardson, who
"spoke from evidence given him
by his wife and four other par
ties who were passengers on the
train that day." This shows
plainly that you believe there
was evidence of disorder- and
drunkenness, though you say it
was not "conclusive" as to any
"particular person."
We demand to know if there is
any evidence whatever that any
of the Pythians on that train
were drunk or acted in the "most
disgraceful manner." If there is
such evidence, we demand to
know who the disorderly and
drunken nfirsons were, and
L .
where they were from.
The Knights of Pythias retain
only gentlemen in, their ranks
and if any member has acted in
an unsrentlftmanlv manner, he
LJ I
will be promptly expelled.
We demand that you either!
furnish the exact evidence, giv
lng names of witness es, names,
f disorderly persons and the
extent "of the offense; or that you
state in your newspaper that
'theie is no such evidence. You
Published this libel on your own
responsibility and we hold you
accountable for it. We demand
a complete refutation, or the
proof of yourv charges; and if
the ch
Persist in them, we will seek a!
Uuiuym the courts.- " !

Our Cotton Mill Dedication.
The Raleign News and Ob
server of Sunday speaks thus
editorially of the recent dedica
tion of the Odell weave mill:
"When the mill number five
of the Odell cotton Manufactur
ing Company of Concord was
ready to start last week it was
dedicated to God with' appro
priate religious services, con
ducted bv Rev. J D Arnold, after
which Capt. J M Odell, president
of-tho- company, -'steppecJL- for
ward and turned the throttle of
the wheel when without creak or
jar the ponderous engine moved
with grace and apparent con
sciousness of its immense power.'
Why should not our great in
dustrial plants commence their
good work with religious exer
cises? Their mission is . to help
men to help themselves the
best sort of charity or help and
to add to the blessing and com-
f rts of mankind. They are de
pendent for success upon the
hand that created the universe
and sustains all His creatures,
and it seems fitting that in this
material age men should have
such object lessons of dependence
upon Him who is the preserver
as He is the creator of the world
its machines as well as its men
and women. The first cotton
mill in North Carolina dedicated
was at Randleman when the late
Dr. B. Craven preached the ser
mon and the late JohnH. Ferree
turned on the power that made
the wheels revolve."
