Club with its eleven member, organized just a month or so ago, has been the means of affording much pleasure to all the members and their occa sional visitors from the beginning. A short while ago it was decided to hold its first general reception April 1st In pursuance to the arrangements about fifty guests gathered at the home of Mrs. J. J. Farriss, Saturday night. The members of the club mads elaborate arrangements for the occasion and it was the verdict of all that their labors were crowned with success. The decorations were in the colors of the club, white and green, while the dining room was in red, all exquisitly arranged by the members of the club. The entertainment following on All Fools Day, of course aroused suspicion among the guests, but with all of this forewarning some of them fell into the trap. One or two of our young friends had quite a lut)ch on pickles and sandwiches dosed with quinine, before they discovered their mistake. But this was only an incident of the pro gram. The refreshments proper consisted of Brannon's cream, cake and relishes. As the guests passed out of the dining room the ladies were presented with a Japanese parasol and the gentlemen with tninerature pipes most novel and acceptable souvenirs. The games were very unique in deed and afforded much merriment to all. One of the games, a sug gestion from Miss Irvin Paylor, was especially catchy and gave much pleasure. The reception was in every way a delightful affair and there were showers of compliments from the guests for each member of the club.

"I don't exactly say that I need a rest, but I am going to take one in the open, under God's blue Heav en," said President Roosevelt to day standing on the platform by his special car in the Pennslyvaniu station. It was suggested to the President that things would go along in a smooth manner, of he were absent. "Oh, things will be all right," he said, "I have left Taft sitting on the lid keeping down the San Do mingo matter. When the train came in the crowd was on the station balcony and gave the President a cheer as the train stopped. He stood on the rear platform, waving his hand to the crowd and face beaming with good nature. When the train stopped the President stepped from the platform with the remark to a secret service office: "Pass right along, now, and if this crowd is not too big I'll shake with all of you." At this there was a rush to shake hands with him. When some lit tle girls were handed up to him he said: "God bless the children," and then turning to Congressman Olm sted he said: "You know I believe in these children." To one old soldier with a button in his coat the President said: "How are you comrade?''

The North Carolina Law Jour nal expresses the opinion that the Woodward anti-bucket shop act is constitutional. Judge McRae, the editor of the publication, is a splendid lawyer and his opinion of the matter is consequently received with much interest. Winston Sen tinel. Need Fire Bell. There is an urgent need of a fir bell here and to neglect it longer win De inexcusable. The factories generally give the alarm at night but iaot many of them feel like do ing so in the day time. Last week when Alexander's store caught fire very few firemen knew of it, be cause there was no alarm. Most people 'phone Chief Horney but be cannot sound the alarm because the mill uses electricity. We don't see why this matter is not attend ed to, it is by all odds the most im portant that we know of. Two fires in a month with no alarm should make us wake up. Probability Re-Organization. Mr. R.
