A RETRACTION.
The Stanly Enterprise Retracts from
(lie Statement It Made the Week Be
fore In Regard to Some of the
Pjthians Behaving Ungentlemanly.
Hundreds of the' Knights of '
Pythias in this part of the State
most especially have been
eagerly waiting for the last
issue of the Stanly Enterprise to
see what kind of retraction
would be made by Editor Bivins
for his remarks about some of
the Knights behaving ungentle
manly and being drunk on the
train! The paper has been
issued and contains the following
words of apology:
"The Enterprise published an
article last week reflecting on the
conduct of a few individuals sup
posed to be members of the
Order of K. of P. The Pythians
individually and as a whole have
I l 1 '
joinea m resenting tne same.
We published it believing it to be
true, and believing it to be bur
duty. We meant no reflection on
the Order and could not see how
our words could be so construed.
However, we are instrumental in
. bringing about a state of affairs
that we did not anticipate and
for which an apology is due.
Rev. N R Richardson is onr in
formant, and while our article
was stronger than he would
have written, we based our words
on what he had to say He spoke
from evidence given him by his
wife, supported by ' evidence
from four other parties who
were passengers on the train on
that day. . j A '- .'
"From the light of all that is
before us and after consultation
with our informant we wish to
say that our evidence shows no
conduct on the part of the Py
thians that was more than a jolly
set of companions on a picnic
occasion would have carried on;
and besides, -proof is not conclu
sive that the disorderly ones
were Pythians,' nor that any of
them were drunk. . We think our
article was harsh and unjust to
the Pythians as a body, and
there is no evidence against any
one individual. We not only
retract from the article, so far as
we are personally or otherwise ;
concerned, but hereby apologize
to the various Lodges rep
resented in the brilliant organ
ization here. v.
J. D. Bivins, Editor.
A Disappointment to Many.
Rev. W C Alexander, pastor!
of the First Presbyterian church,
had intended to have a series of
meetings in that church ; next
week, to be assisted by Rev. A
D MeClure, of Wilmington. But
Rev. Alexander informs us that
Rev. McClure will not be here
next week. The mistake grew
out of his using the word "No
vember" when he intended to
zy "the second Sabbath of De-
Phis is a disappoint-!
-ho many-oi our people.
