HEPTASOPH EVENINO.
EImqmI Oration by In, OHs

bara 125.
Last Friday evening was
Heptasopb evening in Gastonia.
Under the energetic work of Mr.
Thomas N. Kendrick as deputy
organizer, the local membership
has been increased to 125 with
in a few week*. Last Friday
night Mr. Kendrick was master
of ceremonies at the very pleas
ant occasion in tbe opera house,
which he bad arranged in order
to give tbe public an opportuni
ty to hear the principles of the
order expounded by one of its
most eloquent authorities. A
devont prayer was offered by
Rev. K. C. Anderson, pastor of
the Presbyterian church. A good
house of appreciative bearers
enjoyed greatly the preliminary
program as follows:
Violin solo. "Cavatina", by Mr. L.
°rPi“°bT
Reading, -Motile", Mias Janie Mor
ns.
•Vocal soto, "Dearie". Mrs. H. B.
P*«no accompaniment
oy Mis* Emma Tags.
Kach rendition was a gem and
was received with demonstra
tions of appreciation aueb aa aa
audieucc is always pleased to ac
cord its favorites.
Hollowing these delightful
(natures, Mr. A. G. Mangum, in
a witty and graceful introdne
tj011'Praented to the audience
the dialingnisbed speaker o 1 the
evening, the Honorable Olin
Jirvan, of Baltimore. whn i.
General Counsel of the Order.
Mr. Bryan has a quiet but un
usually ptearing address. He
engages attention at once by bis
graceful bearing. In his very
first sentence be impressed the
audience with bis refined ideals
of utterance. As he proceeded,
his hearers, before they were
aware of it. yielded to the grasp
of s speaker who is every inch
an orator. His exposition of
the principles of his order was
a lofty combination of business
sense, sentiment, humor, pathos,
patriotism, and high ideals of
life presented in a way to enter*
i**?! charm, and convince.
The polished’response by Dt.
J. C. Galloway was in tbe same
lofty strain, brightened by
strokes of genuine wU.
Both speakers were roundly
applauded.
A number of prominent minis
ters, business and professional
men, and visitors occupied
■eats on tbe rostrum.
In the spacious banquet room
of the lodge building, a' least
w« «>«*> by that hospitable
and skillful caterer. Mr. S. S.
Moms, for 175 guests. There
were present about 150, who en
joyed, along with the spread of
snmptnous viands, "a feast of
reason and flow of soul," while
tidcs-of enlivening music rolled
out from the orchestra.
Altogether tbe evening was a
red letter occasion for the local
HcpUsopbt. Increased seal and
enlarged results may be expect
ed to follow.
Besides the speaker of tbe
evening we were pleased to have
with ns the following visitors:
Mr. John B. Sloan, field*workes

Practically everybody in the
community from up about Lucia
attended the trial. It was airict

The prosecutors were not able
to make out their c«se. hence
they were taxed with the cosU

I hope (he farmers from every
section of tbe county will re
member that next Monday tbe
<J6tb will be a great day for them
in Dallas as our governor is to
be there and address them in
great style. We want to hear of
this beiDg the greatest gather
ing that has ever assembled at
onr county seat. Let no one
stand back and wait on another
but let him come out and boiler
to the boys to come on. It it
time for every one to act for
himself and see bow be will
stand if he neglects to do hia
duly now. Tbe farmers bave
been at tbe rear end of the pro
cession long enough, but by
tbeir wise judgment have now
got to tbe front; and now that
they bave got on top, let them
keep there by uniting and stick
ing by one with another. So
come one and all to bear our
great governor discuss tbe needs
of our people.
We are aorry to note that tbe
little son of Mr. and Mrs. B. O.
Davis, of Lucia, has been right
sick for severe! days, we hope
the little fellow will soon re
cover.
We have made note of it time
and again in this correspondence
for over a year, that liquor was
being solo in our section, ani
wc wondered why it could go on
so long almost in open daylight
and strictly against the law. We
warped tbe people time end
agmn in this correspondence,
and asked them to quit or trouble
follow. We even criti
cised officials for not doing tbeir
duty, bat with no ill feeling
toward tbetn except to atop tbe
traffic. Finally the matters Were
taken up and tw«ntv-<*M
esses were found against differ
ent parties, most of whom made,
good their escape. It is being
circulated around that public of
ficuls are condemning other of
ficials for their activity, in these
matters. If this continues to be
t!piL.up i lb« violators
be brought to justice? Think of
it. some officials trying to do
their duty, ss is laid down by
law. and other officials declar
ing to tbs violators and tba pub
lic that there ia no juatica ia
such proceedings. It occurs to
ua that such officials are out of
plsca when they try to dictate
t?tb* country tbe course that
should be pursued. It looks to
us like the law should be the
fndfvidusU 1>I* Opi“k,0,o<
The remits of the efforts oo
tbe part of aome to bteak up the
r* sale of whiskey in our sec
. was .fraitful to tbe extent
of oae distillerjr being captured
and several of the violators leav
ing out.
Now it has been whispered
around that nothing caa be done
with those that have sold the
stuB and goat from among us,
and it is sow being sold by
others. It comes to oar ears al
most every day that there are
1*0 places in oar section where
the atnfi is beiuw had, and in
the language that w* have
spoken to others, we warn them
to atop, and to atop now. Tie
pconlawi 1 not tolerate it always.
Ws call noon every good
CM*™ in east Oaston to lock
hands Is this battle end help
persuade tboseC people to quit
dealing in the traffic. The law
win not permit them to stay H
ibey continue to indulge in the
sale of whiskey. Stop the sale
of whiskey in our section should
be the slogan of everybody. Let
the good church people unite
and hsip destroy the liquor dens
uound oar churches. If yon
will unite your forces against
the liquor evil in your section
you anil soon have the offender)
driven out, or make them qnit
and be better citizens. Do yoar
duty it my earnest appeal to yon.
Let the clergyman of our conn
try ring out clear on the subject
and tell the people their duty in
the matter.
We have not beard of a single
church going member being
otherwise than play bands off in
this battle. But we understand
that cert sin parties are to go
quietly before the grand jury at
our next term of court aad re
port to them. If so, well and
good: but if the people at home
would unite they could stop it by
rnorsl suasion; and if not then
resort to the law.
Think of it. ministers, end let's
all do what we can to rid oar
section of the liquor traffic, and
get those that carry it on to be
better and more worthy citizens.

"A Talk With tbe Lyman Twin
Tbe famous comedians, Tbe
Lyman Twin Brothers, who ap
pear here Friday night. Feb. 23d
with their big company ia "The
Rustlers” are remarkable fellows,
being not only comedians who
rank tbe best, but show qualifi
cations as managers which fa
seldom seen in the theatrical
business.
At tbe close of their tour last
season and before producing
their new piece, The Rustlers,
which is strictly a musical com
edy in every sense of tbe word,
they immediately went to Hew
York City to get new ideas for
their coming production, visit
ing all of tbe big prod oc Jons
of this order then playing there
and obtaining much from them
which pat together with their
own remarkable genius which
has marked all of their former
successes, have brought out an
attraction in The Rustl rs which
is far superior to any of its class
yet produced. They have sup
plied this production with a
large and excellent cast, a dain
ty chorus of pretty girls and
carry an expensive ana beauti
ful scenic equipment complete
together with all mechanical and
electrical effects entirely original
with this attraction.
