May Wth, W65. Grand Sir I. it-YeUch Issued a general procia nation re-afflrmlng the wbrokea nlt-f : nt th order and declaring that fra ternal relations ' between all Grand Jurisdictions had never been severed Tout only ' temporarily suspended - through - fores of circumstaneea. He earnestly urged all Southern Juris- dlstlons to resume work under their existing charters and to send repre sentatives to the next communication ; of the Grand Lodge of the , United : States, which was to be held at Balti more In September of the same year. Nearly all . the Southern State sent ' delegations who were welcomed with the effusion displayed towards loved - kinsmen on the return borne after a prolonged absence. If brotherly love ran resist the corrosive Influence of sectional hatred and survive four years of Internecine conflict. It can surely And full expression when these deteriorating agents are not at work and so tt doesChicago, Boston, Cin cinnati, Memphis, Bhreveport, John stown, . Brunswick, Galveston, San . Francisco and other cities whether scourged by fire, water,, pestilence or the convulsions of nature, will say : how far their cry of distress was heard and how prompt was- the answer. .Readiness to promptly send workers nd supplies where disaster has struck , a, heavy blow does not cause the diff erent lodges to r relax In the care of their immediate household, improve ments and elevation of the human family, visiting the sick and afflicted, relieving the distressed, burying the - dead and .caring for. the orphan, are dally watch-words regulating the life of an Odd Fellow who understands tils obligation. ' THE ORDER'S GROWTH. "Precepts allied with practice like these could not fall to commend them- selves to persons of morality, thought and discernment and from five in 1819. the membership of the order has now Increased to 1,813.000 of whom 368.00 are women whose devotion to principle emulates and often excels that of members ' of the sterner sex. With he increase in membership, the abil ity to relieve and the opportunity to . extend relief have augmented in about equal proportions. There are now 40 homes belonging; to the order, repre senting an actus value of nearly tt, 000,000, and sheltering nearly 1.000 In -mates, widows, aged and infirm Odd Fellows but mostly orphans who are educated to make useful men and women. In addition to this there are 11 mora homes projected, for the erec tion of which sums aggrgatlng 1118,000 have already been collected and are held In trust. Five millions dollars are annually disbursed fey the or der for relief. 'To become an Odd Fellow does iot entail any change of opinion either y religious or political, nor does It Involve-the adoption of a new creed. Belief In the existence of a Supreme Being. Creator and Preserver of the Universe, a good moral character and freedom from disease at the time of . application are the only tents requir ed of a candidate. .While a large ... percentage of the membership Is com posed of Christians belonging to our various denominations, among which ar not a few minister of the Gospel. , 'she order Is strictly non-aertarlan. Religion as well as political control - versies are wisely excluded from the ledge room, while matter pertaining the temporal welfare of Jiumanlty : are ever welcome subjects of dis cussion. Odd Fellowship does not rear Itself In opposition to the Church ior does it pretend to offer a substi tute for it Leaving to the latter the duty of ministering unto the spiritual wants of men; It modestly labors in a leaser sphere and attends to their material needs. - "There are some. In the ranks of Odd Fellowship who never openlv professed religion nor affiliated with , any church but who by habitual deeds ef loving ktndnen are, externally at , !east. following In the footstep of Him whose life was love and wh . shall aay that to them will not be ad dressed these words of Ineffable com fort 'Inasmuch as ye have done It unto one, of the least of thestt my brethren, ye have done It unto Me . . THE ORDER IN THIS STATE. "Wtyle the order In North Carolina has not grown as rapidly as'lt has In .some of the larger Jurisdictions, It has . , 'In proportion to Its numerical strength Tand the means at Its disposal, accom v!lshed very- nearly- a much a It did anywhere else. . 'The flnrt lodge In North Carolina w" Instituted at Weldon on the 2th day of April. 1841. with seven charter members, in 1840 the Jurisdiction numbered 12 subordinate lodges and ;1.44 members. During ' the civil war . .these lodges became slmost totally ex tinct. -In WA the Orand Lodge re assembled and made a new start with 11 subordinate lodges and !3t mem lers. There are now 231 subordinate - l?,? ,n rth Cwo,lft "rly Jt.OoO. members and M Hebekah lodges with 1,600 members, HQ of whom are ladles. ; la the years 188 and 1887 th question of establishing an Odd Fel- jlows boms la North Carolina for the ears of orphans was agitated -In Cape .Fear Lodge Ko. X, at Wilmington, and 1 favorable action was taken thereon by the Grand Lodge at Its session of 188t, hen the membership la the Jurisdic tion wss about 1.300, A committee was appointed to eollclt funds for the pur pose and report progress from Urns to time, Three years later, with leas than (3,000, In cash, but an unlimited confidence In the future and the worthiness of the cause, the Grand Lodge Instructed the (committee to locate and establish the home.

" 1 , Special to The Observer. Kins ton. May 14. The Republican congressional ' convention of the sec ond district was held Tiere this after noon. -' J. M. Mewborne, . of ' Lenoir county, was chairman- and "John D. Mpurt. of -Wilson count, secretary. ntn were llegroohtestlng delega tions from every county In the district except Northampton and Lenoir. The .negroes were represented by sucn prominent negro politicians as - Sara Vlck. of Wilson. Lee Person and Bill Watson, of Edgecombe, and Scott and; Harris, of Halifax, and about twenty- five others. A credential committee took up the contests from each coun ty, wrote down the evidence and then reported the seating of the lily-white delegations, wholly excluding the ne gro in every Instance. When the credentials committee's report was adopted Lee Person, a, colored poiiti- clan gave . notice - of contest before the Chicago convention In June, wholly on- account of color. After this curt threat he marched o'U of th hall and was followed by every negro nresent. going to the negro Odd Fel- lows Hall. There they effected a per-1 manent organization, electing .8. H. Vlck. ex-postmaster of Wilson, as chairman and Lee Persons, secretary. Resolutions were adopted endomlns Senator Foraker. of Ohio.

KIIOCI,D HE nE DEAD. If He Re. He' Went With Fslth In HI Kind and a Smile on His Lips. -Ashevllle Citizen. , One of the cleverest contributors The Cltlsen ever had was a young man who went to Texas for the sole purpose of dying. The merciless hand of a ravaging disease caused him to know that his days were numbered, but he awaited the end with a fearlessness, nay, even . a hope, which told of a life well spent and good deeds done. His spirit was ever optimistic; though he looked always to the setting sun, he sang of starlight, and never ceased to preach the doctrine of peace and good will to men. If at times he grew bitter, it was to arraign the gossip and scandal-monger; for all others he had ever a flower. He de cried the thoughtless word and the scoring of the absent brother.. Once in a personal letter to the writer he said: "I have , known thoughtless words and rash Judgments to draw far "richer blood vthaa ever dripped from an asaassln's dagger." Only those who have been stabbed by such a weapon ran appreciate' the force of that utterance. The Cltl sen never believed that there was much hope of eternal salvation ' for the character assassin. . When the God of human destinies shall see our hands, he who murders bop shall be worwe than he who murders the man. . The former fs guilty of bring Ing on the living death. But we are wandering from our subject. To return to the young man under discussion, w will say that we ar not writing his obituary. Whether or not be I dead, we de not know. But th long silence of months leads u to believe that his song 1s finished. The last letter from him spoke of the radiance of a distant shore, and doubtless he died as he lived smiling. He believed In the resurrection, did our friend, for h wss a very dear friend, with such faith death has no tirn. it' Is said that the world's greatest vlolln-makers would break and mend, and crash and rebuild again. Oh, yea There gre. JBlghttwheji th stara refuse to shine. There are hours when tbe poor heart la left bleeding and torn. Who knowsT If may be that we must he shattered, but the Skillful Hand that broke the Instru ment ran rebuild It. He shows us a. way-that shall bring out of life It sweetest harmonies. luV softest melo dies. Don't rail to see Blue Bonnet at Edlsoula. THE STRAWBERRY CROP. Dealers Predict a DounUf ul Supply at . a Price Within tlie Reax-b of AIV- How to Eat Strawberries and Enjoy , Jrhcm. ' A glut In the strawberry market I the prediction of fruit dealer In near y all sections of the country. Report from the grower of terries In Vir ginia,' Delaware and New Jersey indi cate that the coming crop will be bet ter than for many seasons and show that a larger acreage has been devote ! to the fruit. It is predicted that lovers of this succulent fruit in many North' era cities will be able to eat all the good berries they want at six cent a quart, perhaps five, - To suggest tnat some persons can not eat the raw strawberry as It comes from the garden without stomach dis tress may seem almost unpatriotic for every American thinks It a patriotic duty to eat strawberries .whether they "agree-- with hlm or not, .It Is fact, however, that many persons can not eat them without discomfort. The full enjoyment of this delicious berry Is denied to thousands whose stom achs do not take kindly to the pe- cuMar acid and the numberless little seeds, which It contains. For these persefhs the soggy while flour dough I of "short-cake" makes a bad matter even worse. Almost any person wno-w stomach, has not gone out of business entirely - can eat ' strawberries and Shredded Wheat Biscuit with perfect safety and fullest enjoyment Tho best way to prepare them is to beat the biscuit In an oven until the shreds are crisp, then crush a cavity In the top of the bisouK ana fill this with the berries In their own Juices; then pour milk or cream over It and sweet. en to suit the taste. There Is some thing about -the porous 'shreds that neutralises the fruit acid and the com fclnatlon makes a most wholesome and delicious dish- more easily digested and much mors nutritious than th or dlnary short-cake. , v - . . . ... Tou can make -the same wholesome combination with raspberries or any kind of fresh fruit, a favorite sum mer noon-day dish at the union I League Club of Chicago Is mad by partly filling a small bowl with-red raspberries, then covering with a lay. er of Shredded Wheat crumbs (mad by crushing two crisp biscuits In 'lie band), then adding a little cream and sugar. Such a lunch is . wholesome and easily digested. The. Shredded Wheat Itself contains more real nutii- ment than meat or eggs and costs much less while the fruit add to Its bealtbfulnes . and palatablllty.
