Swinson is game. Though officially
ousted by both branches of the

less make a fight in court.

day afternoon and took possession.
Swiuson had the keys to all the
drawers, where the bills were kept
and the clerks could not get to them.
Today however, under the advice of
Lt. Gov, Reynolds, the locks were
picked and the drawers and boxes
opened. The work went on in the
office as usual.
Swinson -was perched up on a
seat in the house gallery this morn
ing and passively watched the pro
ceedings from above. He goes to
Goldsboro today to visit his people,
but will return Monday.
Swinson has retained Mr W C
Douglass as his attorney and is
acting under his advice. Mr. Swin
son and his attorney will have a
final consultation Monday and he
will .decide as to whatooursehe shall
pursue in the .future.

X Card From Representative Jonas.
Editor Press-Viator,
r In rising toa question of personal
privilege Tecantly in the House I
wished to gi ve only a passing notice
to an unwarranted attack, upon my
course as a representative by the ed
itor of one of the city papers. On
that occasion I said the News and
Observer takes evident satisfaction
in criticizing my course in the elec
tion pf a JJnlted States Senator, nor
GOODWIN HOME
in doing so docs ho eont -.'-i 'nimself
to the 1 ruth. Xi,
Upon my . arrival in Raleigh 1
found many wise and able men ready
to dictate to me what to do and how
to do it, and since I pursued a course
according to what 1 conceive to be
the wishes of my people, I must be
subjected to a false and unwarranted
criticism. As to the charge of the
News and Observer that I was very
intimate with Senator Pritchard and
on one occasion went driving with
him, is simply and purely not true
I have never been in the company
of Senator Pritchard two minutes in
my life nor have I ever so much as
met him on the street, to say noth
ing of the drive referred to. That I
refused to vote in the Senatorial
contest Is another stretch of the
editor's imagination, I was in the
bouse of Representatives when the
balloting commenced and owing to
my feeble health and the crowded
condition of the hall returned to my
room. The charge that I had entered
into a contract with the republi
cans in my county prior to the elec
tion whereby I was tosupportPritch-
ard as a gold Democrat is a false
hood.
I was elected by all parties as an
independent democrat, pledged to
no party or policy save to serve my
people to their best interest.
Ou leaving home the advice
of my democratic friends was for me
to vote for a straight democrat for
United States Senator should an op
portunity for the election of one pre
sent itself, and I defy a living man to
show that I have ever promised to
vote for any other than a democrat.
"There is but one Jones inthelegis
ture, and that is quite enough of
that kind of Jones," said the editor
Now, Mr. Speaker, this is rather
broad expression to come from a
arrow forehead, and a man of small
ititure; not that I feel that such un
ustifiable insinuations effect me in
the least among my distinguished
democratic friends sitting on my
right and left, but it is an insult to
dve or six hundred voters in Alle-
hany county as good democrats
us ever placed a ticket in a ballot
box, who are equally as competent
to select their representative as
an editor of a Raleigh news
paper, whose political faith
s about us staple as the color ol
cent calico. It would be quite
nteresttng to know the name of the
eutlhman who informed the News
and Observer of the contract enter
ed into between the republicans and
the independent democrats of Alle
ghany county and we defy them to
produce such information.
Such informa'ion if any, comes
from the political Goliahs from my
own section who have attempted to
manipulate all things to their own
advantage by trades, swaps and any
means to defeat the people, and it
be from this source the information
comes to the News and Observer to
induce the editor to make such an
unjustifiable assault on me, I wish
tosav to my Democratic friends in Al
leghany that the gentlemen referred
to are distinguished for misrepre
sentations, and sooner or later will
reap their reward.
In conclusion we (I mean my con
stituency) renew the request for the
authority from whatever source it
came as to my friend and neighbor,
R. A. Doughton. If his election had
been possible I would have support
ed him most heartily, notwithstand
ing his near realatives fought my
election,
Very respectfully,
H. F. Jonew.

ren who can t stand hot or cold
weaiber (in ihe lodge room; and are
looking for more pleasant weather
in order to attend the lodge meet
ings? lu other words, hat's the
matter with this happy and delight
ful "lukewarm" weather we are
now having? it ought to fill their
bill exactly. Come! Come!!
Come ! 1 '
On Tuesday evening February
Kith, the joint monthly meeting of
the Raleigh lodges will be held in
tho lodge room of Manteo No. 8. All
Odd Fellows, especially visiting
brethren are especially invited to
be present. Some of our best local
talent, and possibly a distinguished
speaker from a distance, will at this
meeting entertain and instruct those,
who are so fortunate as to be on
band.
Our order, while American born,
has not confined its benevolent work
or its efforts in elevating human
character, alone to our own grand
and glorious republic. But it
has extended its great fraternal
chain to the isles of the sea
and to all the leading countries of
Europe, linking man to man, and
ever pointing man to hiscreator and
encourages in every possible way
the love to country and fellow man.
The next session of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge will be held in Septem

will be presided over by that tipical
SoutherntOdd Fellow, Fred Carle
ton, of Texas. The Deputy Grand
Sire is Alfred S. Pinkerton, of Mas
sachusetts.
The order in our city will no
doubt celebrate with appropriate
ceremonies, the anniversary of Odd
Fellowship on the 26th day of April.
The order on that day will be seven
ty-elght years old. In this connec
tion it is not out of order to say that
the growth of the I. O. O. F. has
been simply remarkable. A million
members now grace its roster,
while millions upon millions of dol
lars have been annualy expended in
the relief of distresr. Long wave
the triple link banner. The ques
tion is often asked "areOdd Fellows
bound to stand by each other?"
We would say that they are under
certain circumstances. . That is,
when misfortune's hand is laid upon
a brother, or sickness and death
comes he must have the aid and com
fort of his brethren. But when a so
called Odd Fellow shall depart from
the right, and practice those vices
so strenuously opposed and con
demned by the teachings and prin
ciples of the order and the Bible,
and expects to be shielded in wrong
doing, then of all men he becomes
in the estimation of his brethren the
most contemptible. Designing men
have frequently attempted to use the
order as a stepping stone to political
preferment, but how signally they
have failed is attested by their haste
in getting out of the order. One
great advantage in being an Odd
Fellow, and one which legitimately
belongs to every member, is its in
troducing powers if we may use the
words. Often hasfthe writer been
in strange cities and in distant states
and had kind attentions and hun
dreds of friends because he was an
Odd Fellow.
