Oldest Odd Fellow.
Tho Weldon correspondent of
the Richmond Dispatch snys : I
notice that a Winston correspondent
claims that Mr. K. A. (iiendi, of
Salem, is one (if the oldest Odd
Fellows in the State, Imt I believe
it remains for Weldon to come for
ward with the very oldest member
of that order in North Carolina.
Mr. W, T. Whitfield, the Agent
of the Southern K.vprcM Company
at Weldon, was born on the day
and year that the order was tirst in
troduced into the United State
viz., April '26, 1SI0. He became a
member of Old Dominion Lidge
No. 5, Purtfinouth, YA.,'And took
all the decrees in 1841. He was a
chatter member of the first lodge
ever instituted in this State, Wel
don Lodge No. 1, in the tsime year,
1 s4 1 . When this lodo Ptlrrender
ed its charter, in 1844, Mr. Whit
field reunited himself witli the
l'orttnii.uth Linlgo. Ho has been
an active and official niemlier of
the order ever since. It is reason
Able to suppose that he is An older
Odd Fellow than Mr. (iiersh.

A Dastardly Deed.
Allert Ray, a guard t the chain
gang, was robbed And then cut by
a negro tramp this morning.
It was about 1 1 :.'?) o'clock while
Mr Ray, who guaids at night, was
sleeping in the tent near the South
ern shops, tint a colored man stole
stealthily into the tent and picked
up Mr. Ray'6 watch, lying uH)t) the
table, lie went from the table to
Mr. Ray and legan searching his
person. This awakened him And
as he looked up he discovered that
the nigro was not, as he liAd sup
posed, a trusty, but a strango negro.
He ran his hand into his hip
pocket and as he did so the negro
drew a knife from bis pocket. It
was but the work of a moment for
him to draw the knife across Mr.
Ray's face inflicting two ugly
wounds, one about three inches long
i.ndet the left eye and another
across the r.ose. Then he ainud
at Rsy's heart and a cut three inch
es long just over the heart was the
result. Having Accomplished this
much the negro ran through the
tent door with Mr. Ray, who had
now risen from his conch, following
bim pistol in hand. Ho discharged
five shots at the fleeing figure, but
the blood had blinded his eyes arid
his aim was untrue. Riy, now
weak from the loss of Mood, was
taken to the tent where Drs. Me
Kenzie and l!rown attended to his
wounds. Hisinjniios, Dr. McKen
zie tills us, aie quite scrimis. lie
w ill be brought to town to morrow.
As soon as Sheriff Monroe was
notified of the affair he summoned
his dcp.ities and formed two osses,
who at 3 o'clock, are scouring the

A Sample of What a Trust Can Do.
Persona who read the published
arraignments nf trns's may wonder
sometime just what those cmnbina
tiotis of capital do to bring upon
them universal condemnation.
There lias recently been made public
an instance that will serve to re
move this wonder.
Anoil re tining company in Oie'.e-
land, Ohio, riccived on one day six
letters countermanding orders for
oil, in all a large quantity. Asking
an explanation ot their customers,
one w rote that lie had leen notifb d
by the Standard Oil company that
if l.e continued to buy nf the com
peting company, the Standard
would step in and sell oi! lor five
cents a gallon. Ilenee the customer
Countermanded his order, as d;d live
others.
Of course there is no other combi
nation of capital that can compete
with the Standard, and therefore
the Cleveland retining compAny
must go to tho wall. Competition
is thus stified, and llie people are
denied the loncflt of possibly lower
pruv s And la tter oil. Moreover, a
company that would employ men
and expend money on wages and
ma'eiial is driven out of the field.
There is of course no special wick
edness shown in this by the Stan
dard Oii company. It ixhibits, on
a mamnioin scHle,theeiiishnesstliat
humanity is prone to all over tho
earth. The Rockefeller method of
adding to millions already acquired,
largely by the ruination ot smaller
oil companies, is practiced on a
smaller scale by hundreds of other
companies and individuals on a
smader scale, and will tie until the
millennium. Int it is nevertheli ss
incumbent on legislating and govern
ment officers to detest this spiiit of
intolerance and monopoly wherever
it cn lie legally arraigned. Ashe

with heavy charge of dynamite,
connecting the explosive by wins
with a Iml'erv in tho woods some

good man. "l.ut, papa, said
Webster, "ain't you a good man !
Why don't you talk to God as grand-

ie other side of the table, said,
Father, that is God' voice to you."
