Soinr seventy-six years ago, in the
i jty of Concord: there was born to Mr.
and Mrs Willis Elkins a son who mas
christened William t'rankMn. Two
vears inter another son blessed the happy
home, he taking the name of John Reg- ,

, ,- s ’ for twenty-two i
■ years. Then on the Hth of October, lSil. j
William, who hatT married and was the
proud father of a chubby son. decided •
to leave ljis old home for Texas. He
and his family were • accompanied to
• 'harlotte by brother John, who did not
know how long it would be before he
■would set eves on bis brother again. |
- William Elkins' route lay byway of j
New Orleans, he having to go from that .
city to Texas by water on what was
known then a> Morgan's land steam- !
<r-. He settled in Bryan, Texas." tak
ing up the trade oi what was known
;,i those d?iys a tinner, now known,
however, as a metal iron work or sheet
metal workers. He lived in the city
of Bryan for a period of nine years after
which, time lie moved to Calvert. Texas.
He resided in Calvert for one year and
then he and his family moved to Com- .
• inelie. Texas. Here they resided for
thirty-nine years. Mr. Elkins still carry
ing on the trad,* that he had selected
ns his life's work. For the last three
years'he has resided in Cisco. Texas
Haring the hist year of the Civil War,
Mr. Elkins saw service in a regiment
of young soldiers known as the "North
Carolina Boys of 17.“ commanded by
Col. John Anders nr and Major Beasley.
Even though lie is seventy-six years
o'd. Mr.- Elkins is enjoying the best
of health and- is a tine specimen of phys
ical manhood.
John Elkins left Concord just a short
time after hi< brother William, taking
no his residence at Locust Level, Stanly
county. Here lie entered the merchan
dise business, carrving it on successfully
fur two years. He them.moved to Al
bemarle. where lie again entered the
merchandise field. He also owned and
edited a newspaper at that placa for
a period of eight years. After this
time lie resided in Salisbury for several
months. finally- coming to Winston-
Salem, where he has resided ever since.
John Elkins..though not enjoying health
like liis brother, nevertheless, is still an
energetic man and enjoying life.
The two brothers have kept up a cor
respondence all this time, but from Oc
tober !».' IK7I. to May 11). 1023. fifty
two years, neither had scan nor spoken
to the other. On last Saturday after
noon. May 11*. William Elkins walked
into the store of his nephew. W. B.
Elkins, on North Liberty Street, and
was instantly recognized by bis brother,
who was present at that time.. It was
a meeting that is. seldom seen and one
that was interesting indeed. The re
semblance of the two is marked and as
they have not seen -one another in so
l«»ng a time they are together continually,
talking of old times and exchanging
news and discussing questions that are
too old for \ou or I even to know about.'
The two left on last Wednesday morn
ing for Concord, where they will visit
friends for several weeks. William
Elkins will be here until some time in
October befire returning to Texas.
In talking of the Lone Star State.
Mr. Enkins said: "Texas is a fine coun
try and I like it very well, but —it nor
any other country can beat the Old
North State."
(Mr. George O. Goodman, of No. 3
ttfwnship. tells, us that, so far as he
can ascertain, there are noly four peo

ROTARIANS OF SALISBURY
GUESTS OF LOCAL CLUB
Fine Meeting Held at Y Tuesday Night.
—Spirit cf Fell*wsiiip Much in Evi
dence.
1 Concord Rotariaus Tuesday night paid
a contest debr to Salisbury Rotariaus at
a fine meeting at the AL C. A. Prac
tically every mepiber of the two clubs
was present', and a fine spirit of fellow
ship and co-operation was everywhere in
evidence. During January and Febru
ary the i two clubs held an attendant-?
contest, the losing chib to play host to
the winners at a supj>er. Salisbury won.
by 31-100 of a point, and it was the
Concord club's good fortune to pay t.ie
debt Tuesday night.
No business of any kind'Was taken up
at the meeting, which was devoted whol
ly to an elegant fried chicken supper,
short talk's by several members, a num
ber of stunts, and efforts of local and
visiting Rotariaus to become better ae
iquainted. Closer fellowship and a big
gVr and better spirit of co-operation be
tween the clubs was the real purpose of
the meeting and the program was ar
ranged with this irf View.
John Oglesby welcomed the Salisbitr
iiH:s to the meeting, declaring the loss
of tiie attendance contest was a thorn to
local Rotariaus. but that the thorn was
accompanied by a breath of sweetness b\
the fact that it brought the Salisbury
brothers to this city: John briefly touch
ed on the greatness of Piedmont Caro
lina, declaring this section to be the fin
est in the entire South and predicting
even greater tilings for it if Rotariaus
and others in the section will pull to
jretlier for its greater development.
Application <>f a treatment of. hair
growing on the heads of Leo ( . .Wallace
and Frank Brown, of the Salisbury Club,
ai.d the photographing of Jim Hurley,
also of Salisbury, were stains that cre
ated much interest. The two bald-head
ed Rotariaus left Concord with line
heads of hair, while Jim left with his
brothers a collection of photos showing
him i.ot only as he is today, but as he
was in other years.
in addition t<> the short talk by John
Oglesby only two other sjleeches were
heard. Both were short, both were snap
py and both were worthwhile. Jim Hur
ley talked on the possibilities of Rotary
and Wingate Andrews on the true spirit
of Rotary.
President Hurley declared there are
mtny Real Rotariaus who will never be
long to a club. "It is our duty to swing
them in line regardless of their club af
filiation. We must rub elbows with
them. We,must make them our ally, for
they can do about as much good in a
con: in unity as we -can. Jim also declar
ed the Concord and Salisbury clubs
should co-operate on public matters.
In Salisbury, lie jaunted out, the Rotary.
Ki wail is aiid Lion Clubs have each ap
pointed a committee to work with a
similar committee from the other two
clubs for civic improvements and gener
al usefulness. He suggested that the
•Salisbury and Concord Rotary ( lubs
have such committees. There are many
matters coming up from time to time
that arc of great interest to both , ('on
cord. Salisbury and ibis immediate sec
tion, and these committees could work
together on such a proposition.
Wingate Andrews said a* real Rotar
ian should be much like the winner of a
Carnegie medal. Before a man can win
one of these medals he not only has to
risk his life: he has to risk it out of line
of duty ; lie has to do something he is
not expected to do. "That is the true
spirit of Rotary." Wingate declared.
"We must carry on to a greater extent
than we are* exj>ected to.
Several songs led by Tom Lawrence,
and several numbers by a quartette com
posed of Kay Patterson. Martin Ver
t)urg, Alan D. I’riudell and Roy' Crooks,
were musical features. The meeting end
ed with the members putting the smoke

WHOOPING COUGH.
This is a very dangerous disease,
particularly to children under five
years of age. but when no paregoric,
codeine or other opiate is given is
easily cured by giving Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Most people believe
that it must run its course, not know
ing that the time is very much short
ened, and that there is little danger
from the disease when this remedy
is given. It Ims been used in many ep
idemics of whooping cough, with pro
nounced success. It is safe and pleas
ant to take. —Advertisement.

Talks Were Made by D. B.
Coltrane, L. T. Hartsell,
Rev. W. A. Jenkins and E.
T. McSwain.
Stokes Lodge No. 32 A. F. & A. AL.
the local Alasonic Lodge, held in the
lodge it>oms Alonday night what is de
clared by everyone present to- have been
one of tiie greatest meetings in its his
tory. when a large number of local and
visiting Masons gathered to hear the Ed
ucational Program which had been pre
pared for the occasion. Annjgig the vis
itors at this meeting were Distract Depu
ty W. F. Thompson and Past District
Deputy Janus W. Payne.
The /program, which had been ar
ranged by the Worshipful Aluster of' the
Lodge, Gilbert Hendrix, was a very in
teresting one from start to finish, talks
being delivered by Alessrs. I). B. Col
trane, L. T. Hartsell and Rev. W. A.
Jenkins, of the local Lodge, and by Air.
E. T. McSwain. of Spencer.
Air. Coltrane in bis ten minute talk on
"The Fatherhood of God," stressed the
point that the reason all of us do not
get more out of our relation to God is
because we do not keep the thought be
fore us more, and work at the job. Ev
ery man who lias accomplished anything
worth while in this world has kept that
thought before hint and striven toward
(hat end until it is accomplished, said
the speaker, and that is the way we
should think and live in relation to our
Father.
ltev. Mr. Jenkins, in his talk on “The
Brotherhood of Alan." called attention to
the occurrences in everyday life, where
men cheat, wrong, injure and kill each
other, as if no common tie bound them.
The beginning of the brotherhood of man.
he declared, almost two thousand years
ago. was started by Jesus Christ, who
declared to his handful of followers that
men are the children of God. brothers
of one another. This principle lias con
tinued to grow, and Christ's own prom
ise is that there shall be a kingdom of
these children. The one thing neces
sary in order for men to treat each cith
er its brother?- is the realization of the
acres I ness and value of huina.tt life and
of a human soul. With this conception,
man will have more reverence and re
spect for his brothers.
"Alan's Duty to All Mankind, and His
Especial Duty to His Alasonic Brother,
was the subject of the talk delivered by
Hon. L. T. Hartsell. who consented to
make this talk in the absence of Rev.
Jesse C. Rowan front the city. Mr.
Hartsell classed a Mason s duties as be
ing of two kinds, passive and active. lit
is to lead a life devoid of wrong doing
—a clean, straightforward lift* of integ
rity. Living an upright life, he contin
ued, titles not mean, living so as to keep
out of the courts, but being honest in all
our actions. The active life a Aiasou
lives should be in support of everything
that is for the upbuilding and uplift o!
our community and our fellowman.
Air. McSwain in his address on "Am
I a Alaster .Mason," outlined the begin
nings of our o\\*n country, pointing out
that the foundations of our nation were
laid by Alasons. such as George Washing
ton. Alexander Hamilton and others, who
built on Alasonic principles in organiz
ing this great republic. The Boston l'ea
Party was planned by a group of Alas
ons; Paul Revere was a Mason, as well
as the man who hung out the lantern
for him; fifteen of the Presidents of the
United States, including the present
Chief Executive, have been Alasons. and
all through tin* history of our country
th<‘ great task of building up a mighty
republic lias been accomplished largely
by brothers of the Mystic Tie. r llte
challenge comes to us: Are we follow
ing tin* examples set by these illtts
triom forefathers, and continuing to
build upon the foundations they .laid so
well? Are the principles laid down by
1 hem being followed by us / A Alaster,
Mason will use his ballot to preserve the
principles of our country, and will not
allow foreigners to instill their insidious
propaganda to undermine its founda
tions.
Education, continued Air. McSwain. is
one of the things that should be and is
heartilv supjKirted by Masonry. A Alas
ter Mason stands for education, for the
public schools, which by the way, were
founded bv a Master Aiasou. And, too.
the Holy Bible is to be read in the
schools of our land, not as a course <>t
study, nop- to teach the various doc
trines but so that the children will ever
have the Word of God before them. A
man who is not in sympathy with the
schools of our great nation, and in favor
of education is not a true Master.
Announcement was made by Worslup
fni Master Hendrix of the death of W.
Lee Watson. Past "Master of Stokes
Lodge, which occurred Alonday morning
at Sanatorium. Brother Watson,* who
was also Past High Priest' of John ( .

lightful two-course luncheon was served
by the ladies, followed by cigars.
' Tim kindness of the ladies in prepar
ing this treat was acknowledged by the
Lodge in giving them a beautiful bou
quet. which was presented to them by
Air. Jas. C. Fink in a few well chosen
remarks.
Mr. Joseph Firth, expert civil engi
neer of rimrlotte, has been engaged by
the city to make a test of the asphalt
recently laid on the streets here.
Blythe Bros, have about completed their
work here, and Mr. Firth’s report will
be accepted and acted upon before final
settlement is made by the city with the
paving company. Mr. Firth plans to
take specimens of the streets and ex-,
amine them, in addition to checking up
on the costs and specifications. He
probably will be engaged on the work
for a number of days.
THE OLD HOME.
(By JOHN R. ELKINS).
“Chickens come home to rowt.”
Well, I am not exactly a chicken, but.
in company with my brother, William
H. Eikins, of Cisco. Texas, whom I lead
not seen for fifty-two years, until last
Saturday. I am in tiie old home town,
where brother and I will be glad to re
new old friendships, and make new ones.
But in reflection over the past, rny heart
is made sad by reason of the fact that
the glim monster has exacted such a
heavy toll from old friends. Even dur
ing the. past .four years, of those who
hove "gone to that bourne from which no
traveller has ever returned." I recall
“Billy" Cook. John Bundy. Captain i\ il
liam Propst and Mrs. Propst, Mrs. Al
berrine Mu hi', Mrs. William C. Boyd,
George Brown. Col. J. X. Brown, Daniel
Stiller, Mrs. Jim Erwin. Charlie McDon
ald, and perhaps others. «
As I perambulate the streets I look
or ask for this or that individual but in
vain, as the echo says they are silent
dwellers in the city of the dead. I well
remember the twept.v-first or April, 1861,
when the Cabarrus Guards, under (01.
Nelson Slough, and"the BliSck Boys, un
der Capt. James Atwell, pulled out for
the scene of action. Os the Guards Noah
Correll was the fifer. David Corzine han
dled the bass drum and James Benson the
kettle drum. Well, folks, there was some
music, no one could surpass Correll in
blowing the fife and Jim Benson was
ahead of the profession in beating demi
seini quavers on the kettle drum. All
honor to these soldier boys.
Yes, friends, on that fateful morning,
1 was at the station as were hundreds
of fathers, mothers, .brothers, sisters and
sweethearts, to say good-bye to those
brave boys, many of whom never saw
home again. But their deeds shed a halo
of glory over their lives. J have not
time in this article to note the material
improvements of the city nor of the
strides it has made, in education and re
ligion, but 1 may touch on these all im
portant questions in a subsequent com
munication. t
It has been forty years since I was a
citizen of this commonwealth, and in that
time many have been the changes in cit
izenship in material progress. Many of
the .older ones have crossed the river,
but in crossing left many sons and
daughters, worthy descendants of noble
sires. 1 have never forgotten my native
heath and never will, and it is a source
of unalloyed pleasure for this scribe to
spend awhile at his old home, in meet
ing friends of by-gone days, in rehearsing
events of the past and in making new
the outside.
