Hamlet Chapter No. 76, Royal Arch Masons, carried 21 trem bling candidates across the blis tering desert and through deep waters of the River Jordan, Easter Monday in an all-day and half the night ceremonial. De spite the scorching rays of the desert sun, and the icy coldness of the mountain-fed Jordan, the companions manfully withstood the ordeal, really little the worse for wear. The class of 21 consisted of three from Ellerbe, 5 from Ham let, and 13 from Rockingham. And it was a composite class, with representation from almost every trade or profession. Two doctors were along to lend medi cal bolstering; two lawyers to properly draw up one's last will and testament; a druggist to compound the physicians' pre scriptions; the Sheriff and the Register of Deeds; two merchants; a postmaster; an editor; a con ductor; phone capitalist; a barber to ward off close shaves (though there were manv "narrow es capes;") and an undertaker to lay him away; and a farmer to fur nish tht land for the grave. It was a general mixture. ' The ceremonial began at 11 o'clock Monday morning with the Mark Master's degree, fol lowed by the degrees of Past Master, and Most Excellent Mas ter, capped with the degree of Royal Arch Mason. The Commandery here at Rockingham will have a class of 25 or more May 8th. The Shrine meets at Smithfield-Selma May 22nd.

The federal child labor law went into effect today. A test case will doubtless be made up to test the constitutionality of it. The law provides that in none of the industries within the scope of the law shall children within the age limits be permitted to work more than eight hours a day, or more than six days a weak or before the hours of 6 a. m. or alter t p. m. i nese in dustries are required to keep a time record of employment of each child between 14 and 16 years of age, for the information of federal inspectors.

Before Squire Guthrie.

Rockingham is this week the host to 150 good church workers of the North Carolina Conference, Methodist Church, South. And right glad are our people to have these earnest women, and charm ing gentlefolk, as their guests. The only regret is that the stay is all too short. And the Post- Dispatch voices the community sentiment when it states that the weeks of pleasurable anticipation of the coming of the Woman's Missionary Conference have now been more than realized. The city feels it an honor to have had this Conference, and trusts a "return engagement" may be staged at no distant day. This is the 41st annual meet ing of the women's work for mis sions, but the 7th since the con solidation of the home and for eign societies into one organized body. The Conference met last year in Raleigh. There are 400 auxiliaries in the North Carolina Conference, with a membership of 9,000. Ot the 400 auxiliaries, 180 are the Adult, 153 the Young People, 117 the Juniors, and 50 the Baby. And right here it is interesting to note that out of the 41 Confer ences composing the Southern Conference, the North Carolina W..M. S. stand third in funds raised, South Georgia leading, with North Georgia second. The Junior branch stands first throughout the South, and has held this enviable position for the past five years. The Young People's branch stands 8th. The past .year the Woman's Missionary Conference raised $54,000 for mission purposes, and of this amount paid $32,030 to the treasury of the General Miss ion work.
