C., APRIL 11, 1929 A DOUBLE PROBLEM Last month, iHi: persons were re ceived as prisoners at State Prison in Raleigh, being the largest for any month in the history of the state That brought the total number of prisoners in the state institution to 2,100. The gain during the past three years has been about 200 each year, which indicates the growing problem of the prison authorities and of the state. It is always unfortunate for any person to go to prison, but the fact that of the 122 admitted in March the larger portion of them were un der 30 years of age is a source of even greater regret and concern than ordinary. North Carolina is facing a big problem in caring for its growing number of convicts. It is facing a greater problem in the fact that so many of them are young men.—Dur ham Herald. RHODODENDRON FESTIVAL IN ASHEVILLE IN JUNE Asheville, April 5. — During the widely celebrated mountain wild flower season, this year, the city of Asheville will stage its second annual Rhododendron Festival. The dates for the event this year are June 17 to 22 inclusive and a festival commit tee has been appointed by John A. Goode, president of the Asheville Chamber of Commerce, to arrange events of the festival period. The 1929 floral celebration will follow in general the plan of the 1928 Festival which was one of the outstanding events of last year in the Land of the Sky, Various phases of the first rhododendron event, in cluding the Rhododendron Ball, the Coronation Ball, the invitation of sponsors from southern states, the Rhododendron Pageant, the Moun tain Carnival and folk songs and dances will be considered by the committee as possible features of the 1929 event. “The Pythian Order as a Going. Concern” was presented to members of Mt. Ida Lodge No. 58 at a recent meeting by Mr. J. H. Tate, master of exchequer, who made a general re view of the physical assets of the fraternity comprising fifty-five grand domains aftd over 6,000 lodges. A tabulated report showed that the as sets of the fraternity amounted to approximately $33,000,000 including cash on hand, real estate, buildings and furnishings, bonds and other lodge property. The statement did not include assets of more than $23,- 000,000 held by the Insurance De partment of the Order. ? “The physical development of $he Pythian fraternity guarantees a per manency and the continued welfare work which it has been doing for more than sixty years,” said Mr. J. H. Tate. “The subordinate lodges of the Order have assets of more than $26,000,000, of which a very large part represents money invested in buildings. In many cities and towns over the North American continent the Pythian buildings add to the ar chitectural prestige of the towns and give a permanent solidity to the Or der as a going concern. In many grand domains one half of the lodges own their own homes. Last year more than 6,000,000 was invested in this kind of permanent improvement.” Commenting on the report, G. N. Carter, chancellor commander, de clared that the Pythian Order was a fraternal and service giving organi zation and that it had never devoted its efforts toward building up a large j financial holding in any community, j I He explained that such assets were | the natural development of an or-1 ! ganization seeking to give a more ef- j jective service to its community. j ' “Not one of us value our member- | ship because of what the Order owns j in material and physical assets,” he said. “We put our estimate on the Pythian fraternity in what it has been able to accomplish in doing something of the world’s work. We regard our holdings only as it repre sents a permanent and going frater nal work in our community and the nation. In most instances the Pythian building is a community center. It serves a great community need and its value is largely in the real service it gives our citizens. W’e are proud of our possessions but w’e place a value upon them only as they afford great er benefits to the citizenship. AT THE CHURCHES FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH J. C. Story, Pa«to^.
