TRUTH UNCOVERED.
There are many Brotherhoods
or Fraternities in the world, all of
which have a splendid purpose and
when a member has so conducted
himself that he has gained the con
fidence and respect of his breth
ren, 'lie has evidenced that "fact by
his daily walk in life and especially
among those who have a claim
upon his confidence and brotherly
relationship.
- The Masonic order is conceded
to be the oldest fraternity iu exist
ence. Many orders have sprung
ui), lived and flourished for a time
like the green bay'tree and passed
from the memory of men, but the
Masonic order has stood the test
of time. Time is t|ie great test of
nil organization^!
?
I here is a reason why rree
Masonry ban stood and has not
failed. The chief reason may be
ascribed to the fuct that no man
is admitted who is not ol good re
port and well recommended, who
is not worthy and well qualified
and properly vouched foy. There
fore. none but the best of men are
exacted to knock at the door of
Free Masonry and (tain admit
tance. And when a man has been
admitted and exalted to the East
and have entrusted to his keeping
the jewels of the order, that ought
to and is a ppssport of good char
acter and his word when given to
another brother ought to be a
guarantee of truth when given
and received as such..
But what respect can a brother
Mason have for a man who has
been exalted to the high office of
Worshipful Master of his Lodge
who wilfullv abuses his high office
by pledging his word MasonicaHy
to another -brother and thereby
obtains a marriage license for a
man's daughter under the age al
lowed by law wilhdut the father's
consent, when lie knows the father
bitterly op|>o*e? her marriage,
which will-take her from hint' in
her tender years? Can that man
who traduces his obligation, hope
to hold the continued resi>ect of
his brethern and enjoy their con
fidence? Will men whohonorand
love the order of Free and Accept
ed Masons respond to the sound of
the gravel when wielded by such a
man? Will they respect that most
solemn and binding obligation
when administered by a Master
who they know lias wilfully vio
lated the same? I think not? I
know not! Will a Lodge compos
ed of Masons who regard their
high places and stations continue
such a man in the Lodge?
What can be said in defen??
of a Master Mason, who as
Register of Deeds of the
county, wtien approached. after
night, for a marriage license
for a child of one of his brother
Masons, whom he knows and has
known for years, when he has
serious doubts that the girl for
whom the license is sought, is
eighteen years old, docs not make
"reasonable inquiry," as required
by law, when the father's home is
within nine miles of the register's
office; with a phone on his desk he
could have been in direct com
munication with the fafoily in less
than five minutes or possibly one
minute, and he fails to du so? In
good conscience has he acted on
the Square! The' issuing of a mar
riage license by a Register of
Deeds is one of the most solemn
duties which devolve upon him?
so serious that the law expressly
enjoins him to make "reasonable
inquiry," in every case where he
has nut personal knowledge, as to
the age of the parties, and attach
es a penalty of two hundred dol
lars for his failure to do so. But
,two hundred dolltfrs does not ap
pease the anguish of a father's
heart whose daughter .has been
sold by a Register of Deeds, for
one dollar, the fee allowed a
register for issuing a license. The
law was enacted to protect parents
as well as the child.
i -
Now, because the said register is
a good pensman, a ready account
ant add a splendid officer so farys
his clerical duties go, will the peo
ple continue a man in office simply
because tie possesses-tfiese qualifi
cations and nt the same time fails
to protect or consider the feelings
- of a father whose motherless child
is about to be taken away from
him by a man who is wil
ling to misrepresent the facts,
when the facts ought to
have been within his own know
ledge or if not he could have in
formed himself inside, of two or
three minutes! There are others
?in the county who can fill the
office acceptably who would not be
unmindful of these sacred duties.
There are fathers and mothers
whose children are near and dear
to tbem and they want protection
and if the register will not' make
"reasonable inquiry," in one case,
will he intake it in others, and has
he made it in all cases, or lias he
singled out one for whose feelings
and parental affection he ia utterly
indifferent!
N;j one knows the love of a
father for his child except he be a
father,
"For if there be a human tear
v From passion's droaa refln'd and clear
'Tie that which pious parents shed
Upon a duteous daughter's head."
Now, a word al>out the establish
ed church of Christ, which haa
stood through the ages and which
will continue to stand as the Tem
ple of God in the earth. From
whose pulpits the men of God?
the ambassadors of Christ?have
stood and fearlessly denounced
wrong and urged men of all classes
to approach the Throne of Grace
as the free-gift of God; these saints
Jiave stood in all the ages among
civilized men as sentinels on the
watch lower, giving warnings at
the very approach of wrong.
What an influence for good one of
these consecrated men has in a
community is beyond the know!'
edge of man to compute. But
what say you of a preacher who
lives within a stone's throw of his
neighbor, who will marry the
motherless school girl in the tenth
grade, of that neighbor, after
night, when the child's family
could be present at a call from
his front door, without so much as
apprising the outraged father that
his child is about to be taken from
him? In the name of every father,
is it right! Would John Wesley
have done such a thing? Never.
Wouldn't this same minister be
slow to forgive another, had he
suffered the same treatment at his
hands? He would,
"There is some virtue in almost
every vice, except hypocracy."
May the loving and forgiving
Christ speak peace to the consci
ences and souls of those who have
caused the sufferings and anguish
of
An Outraged Father.

s Giant Corn Grown 20 Centimes Agi
? Box Containing Hufe Ear* ia Found ii
Colorado by U. S. Exploring Party.
Janesville, Wis., June 5.?A
t Government expiring party, has
i 'unearthed in the mountains oi
p Colorado a box containing sever
, ears of corn of a peculiar variety,
deposited there 2,000 years ago.,it
is figured. The box was made ol
i a material similar to cement and
i placed in what was evidently a
tomb or mound of some prehistoric
race, possibly Aztecs.
One of the ears came into pos
session of Alexander J, W. Cope
lin, of Chicago. He divided the
seed among friends and it was
planted. It yielded stalks fourteen
to eighteen feet in height, four
ears to a stalk. The ears are red.
Bach kernel planted has two or
more stalks.
H. H. Bliss, of Janesvifle, who
has promoted two corn growing
contests, has received 54 kernels,
and has sent some to the Wiscon

Madison and the rest to Rock

Report of Fruit Prospect* for North
Carolina for Seaaon 1915.
At blossom time there was
every indication for a normal crop
of apples this season of the varie
ties which did not bear full cropa
last season and which do not tend
to alternate but at the present
date there will only be about 40
percent of -a normal crop accord
ing to the average of the estimates
of our crop reporters throughout
the Suite. The cause of the short
ness of this year's crop is due al
most entirely to the ravages of
pear blossom blight, a bacterial
disease which destroyes the blos
soms, young fruit and young
growth of both apple and pears.
The mountain counties report
some early damages from hail
storms and wind.
The pear crop will lie short this
year due mainly to the severity of
the blight. The average of the
reports shows that pears will pro
duce 47 per cent of the full crop.
Peaches and grapes are expected
to produce almost a normal crop
in all sections of the State except
in the sand hill whers there was a
heavy drop.?Extension Farm
