In answer to a question, Mayor Franklin said that the city has now in the banks about $50,000 of the money they had borrowed. Alderman Kirkpatrick brought up the matter of extending the bithu lithic paving to the depot.

Williams Mas ter of Ceremonies Edi tor Caine of Asheville And Others Make A d dr esses. The trying of the Knights of Co lumbus for the exemplification of the degree, which was held in Charlotte, closed with an elaborate banquet last night at the Selwyn Hotel. The meeting was the most suc cessful ever held in North Carolina and the class of candidates, which numbered thirty, the largest in the history of the order in this state. Besides the regularly appointed meet ing, quite a number of visiting mem bers of 'the order from South Carolina and Virginia were here. The large number of visitors was very gratify ing to the Charlotte members of the order. After thee exemplification of the third degree at the O'Donoghue Hall 8 o'clock last night, the assemblage ronnirpd tn the Selwvn for the ban quet, at which Charlotte Council was( host. Banauet at the Selwvn. The first speaker of the evening was J Past Grand Knight H. S. Hall, who delivered the address of welcome to the visiting brothers. He said that it was the greatest assembly of Catholic gentlemen that had ever met in the state, and that it was with a feeling of great pride to : welcome them to the Queen City of the south. He express ed the sincere ' hope that their stay would be long and that Charlotte would have man: visits fron them. "The Importance of Fraternalism." The next speaker was Mr. R. D. Douglas, grand knight of the Greens boro Council, who spoke on the impor tance of fraternalism, their great ob jects of bettering the conditions of mankind :ni(1 of. how imooitant it was I with a scattered population, of draw- ing tiio men wji.eiiiei s'"-' a common objeifr : - Mr. AY. V. Hall-was the next speak er. He urged -the importance of in dividual effort of each member in spreading the order. He referred to the fact of how short cur stay was on earth and how, if we could lift up the weak and fallen and elevate the Cath olic young men, give them a special incentive in lige, thus letting our work live- after us. "The D'i'ties of Members." Mr. Joseph R. Allen, of Columbia, S. C, spoke on the "Duties of New Members,' and how they should keep up their zeai and work for the good cf their church, their country and their order. He expressed the pleasure that it alwavs gave him to be with his brothers of " the Old North State. He expressed his admiration for their zeal and activity and referred to the won derful fact that with the smallest Cath olic population of any state or terri tory of the union they had the great est percentage of the clergy as mem bers in the union. He expressed the earnest wish that these efforts for the upbuilding of the order, he continued, and urged the new members to be ac tive, to be constant in attendance and let their personal work be felt in be half of the order. Rev. Father Vincent. The next speaker was Rev. Father Vincent, of Greensboro. He expressed the pleasure that it gave him to be present at such a large gathering of Catholic gentlemen and said that he thought that as the National Council had undertaken the raising of $500,000 for the Catholic universities comple tion of endowments that this state should undertake some specific work as a state organisation. Mr. Douglas offered a resolution that a scholarship be founded for some poor and deserv ing young man at St. Mary's College. This" was seconded by Mr. Hall and passed unanimously. Editor Caine's Address. Mr. J. H. Caine, editor of the Ashe ville Citizen, spoke as one of the vic tims of how often he had been im pressed as he stood in some great cathedral and watched the play of light from the old stained glass win dows upon the kneeling congregation; of how his soul was wafted heaven ward by the stirring sounds of the pealing organ, and the mitered bishop, siwrounded by his clergy, incensed the Most High; of how he had been pres ent when the great rite of holy priest hood had been conferred upon a young man who had been sent into the world with that great injunction "Go Teach all Nations,' and that he had thought that these acts had touched the inmost recess of his nature, because all man kind is largely governed by sentiment. But that with 'all this, believing as he did, that he had reached the highest True only of Hood's Sarsaparilla, in the usual (liquid) form ; or in the new and equally effective tablet form. 100 Doses oses $1 pmacle that a sentimental man was capable of, yet he must confess thatfA noomer line or Men s ana loung he received at the late degree the most profound impression of his entire life. He said that he would endeavor to follow in the footsteps of those great religious-military orders of old, the Templars, the Hospitlars and the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, whose worthy successors, the Knights of Columbus were today; that in the days of old those orders had as their great object of existence, the delivery of the Holy Land from the hold of the Moslam and invader. He said the Knights of Columbus had even a great er object when they promulgated as their purpose the lifting up of Catholic manhood and their endeavor to make each man bear his part as a patriotic Catholic in the struggle of this world. After expressing again his pleasure at his reception into the order, he begged to assure his brothers that the good nf the order will be his const; ci airr; Father Leo, the Champion. Rev. Father Leo, of Salisbury, was introduced as the well known cham pion of that great American game, baseball. In responding he referred to the fact that many of the brothers present had learned this game at his hands while he was prefect a number of years ago at St. Mary's College. He said that he had always had the idea that one way to make a good healthy boy was to make him take an active interest in athletic games. Mr. John Dimond, of Philadelphia, referred to the fact that on Monday he had been in New Orleans, Tuesday in Atlanta, Wednesday in Columbia, and today it was his great pleasure to be j present in Charlotte to witness the ex- j emplification of the three degrees. Hei spoke a word; in regard to the motion which had been passed by Mr. Doug las and asked to give the first dona tion. The next speaker was the Rev. Fath er Murphy, of Greenville, S. C, who spoke of his recollections when he him self went through at the last Char lotte initiation and that this was the first occasion on which he had the pleasure of again witnessing the work of the order's great ritual. Mr. James Gallagher, cf Petersburg, Va., express ed his admiration for the beautiful city of Charlotte, complimented the mem bers of. the order on the elegant ban quet and : , concluded by (invitins; ,the council To.' attend iii a bptfyl the ' 'exem plification of the three degrees which would occur the latter part of the month in Petersburg. Rev. Father Eugene, of St. Mary's College, expressed his pleasure at the work of the order and concurred in Father Vincent's remarks concerning the undertaking of some great state object by the three councils of the North Carolina jurisdiction. Father Joseph, after some feeling re marks, closed the banquet with his benediction, and all then stood and sang America. Mr. W. C. Maxwell has bought 150 acres of fine farming land near Mount Holly, formerly owned by Mrs. Octavia Winder, Mrs. J. H. Sloop, Capt. K. S. Finch and Mr. Brevard Nixon. The consideration was $8,600.
