THE STATE
First N. C. Lodge Instituted
at Weldon inM841. '
REV;, JOHN E. WHITE BECOMES
PRESIDENT OF, THE BAPTIST
FEMALE' UNIVERSITY.
Raleigh, N. C.. May 7. The Odd Fel
lows feel great Interest In the session
of their (rand lodge, which begins at
Winston tomorrow, The order had Its
birth In North Carolina April 26, 1841,
at Weldon, where the first lodge was
Instituted by Rev. George M. Bain of
Portsmouth, Ya., who had been ap
pointed district deputy grand master
for that purpose He was assisted by
Rev. James p. MrCabe of Richmond
' and several other members of the or
der from Richmond, Petersburg and
Portsmouth. The formation of the
first lodge was due tq Old Dominion
lodge No. 6 of Portsmouth. The first
North Carolina Odd Fellows Were W.
8. O. Andrews and John R. Reston.
John Campbell was the first noble
grand and later he became the flrtot
grand master and grand representative
The second lodge organised was Cape
Fear, at Wilmington; the third Wash
ington, at Murfreesboro. Roth these
were also Instituted by Rev. Mr, Bain.
The grand lodge met for the first time
at Wilmington January B, 1843. It met
there for all or seven years in succes
sion, but since 1848 has met In various
places. There are now no less than 117
subordinate lodges and the member
ship approximates 6400. Never was the
' order so flourishing and never has it
made such gains as during the past
twelvemonth.
The state board of dental examiners
met today at Orensbnro. A Raleigh
member of the board said there would
be a large number of persons to be ex
amined, The object of the meeting of the
Democratic state' committee here
May 10 Is to elect a central com
mlttee and also to take proper action
regarding the judgeship In the .Twelfth
district.
me state committee is sending out a
Circular letter to leading Democrats In
each township, calling on them to do
personal work. Such work Is necessary
to nullify the. work of the Republicans
and Populists. As was remarked some
days ago the Democrats need not both
r about the 'towns; they are all right.
It Is In the rural districts that work
needs to be done. The Republican and
Populist bushwhackers are at work,
talking to Individual voters, and try
lng to fill their minds with doubt and
distrust as to , the constitutional
amendment. Their highest aim Is to
excite doubts In the minds of white vo
. ters. , .......
The report of the labor commissioner
for 18 Is to be Issued this week, It Is
said.
There was quite a gathering at the
ball field at the state fair grounds this
afternoon of people who want to get
on the Raleigh baseball team. Out of
the many candidates no doubt a strong
aggregation will be gathered.
Rev. John E. White, who becomes
president of the Baptist Female uni
versity, Is a native of this county, and
is 32 years of age. He is regarded by
the Raptlsta as one of their strongest
men In North Carolina. He was at
one time pastor of the church at Eden
ton, and during that perlof Was also
county superintendent of Chowan. He
was for several years principal of the
Mars Hill academy, .'at. Madison. For

er of Georgia has adopted regulations
for cattle traffic In Georgia. The peo
ple in the mountain region in that
state are ttuJng great interest In get
ting relief from the cattle regulations.
It Is to be regretted that Western
North Carolina Is not so active in this
matter. The cattle-raisers of counties
at the foot of the Ridge, like McDow
ell, ought to be stirring. The people
of Wilkes are asking for the preven
tion of the driving of cattle across the
Yadkin river into that county.

From the Greensboro Telegram. . ,
The Republicans of North Carolina
may display a considerable quantity
of grit In throwing themselves upon
the track In front of the constitutional
amendment, but they do not show any
undue amount of judgment. The
southern Republicans in the different
states where legislation eliminating
the negro from politics is proposed,
will 'no doubt, In all cases oppose It.
That Is where they are making a mis
take, and the fact that southern Re
publicans are fighters rather than
philosophers accounts for it.
Somewhere on the dial . of fate Is
written that negro suffrage as it has
been practiced In the south must come
to an end, and the Index hand is fast
approaching that point. Now if the
Republicans would only see this, ac
cept It 'and make the most of it, they
would be philosophers. Their eyes
seem to.be Incapable of looking above
the very low horizon of the Immedi
ate spoils table. Could they lift them
higher, look further Into the future,
ihlngs might take on an altogether
different glow, One by one the south
ern states are taking measures to en
act Into law such provisions as will
bar the negro. . This Is largely, If not
solely,, the. cause for the revision of
the reconstruction constitutions. The
south. Is becoming settled In this line
of policy and must finally win. That
Is why the Republicans are unwise In
opposing It from the. standpoint of
their party's Interest. ' It Is coming
sooner or later, and if the Republican
party staves It off for a while It will be
so much the worse, for that party.
There Is no doubt that It the negro
were once out of the ,way the Repub
lican, party would W a great deal
stronger tn the south among white
people than it Is. Now, instead of tak
ing advantage of this fact and further
strengthening itself wth the white peo
ple by helping them to put the negro
out, it will have laid up an additional
grievance against Itself by. having
sought to defeat that object. There Is
no reason why the south should not tn
a few years go Into the line of doubt
ful states were the negro out of pol
itics. So If the Republican politicians
could lift their eyes to the future they
would see their folly of opposing the
elimination of the negro vote.
We have said that such elimination
Is bound to come. It Is as certain as
was abolition. The conscience of the
nation Is being aroused on this sub
ject. The sentiment Is not confined to
the south. So much o Is this true that
If the amendment were to fall this
year, the result would only be delayed.
And even If the Supreme court were to
declare It unconstitutional, we verily
believe that the result would, like
wise, be but delayed. This Is one of
those things that are bound to happen
as the mere result of the fitness of
things If for no other reason, and In
which a way will be found or made.
The movement In North Carolina this
year is but a breaker on the ocean, a
mere spray thrown up from the great
sea of sentiment and feeling upon this
subject.
The Republicans of the south are
not wise In their day .and generation.

attention of her sisters by hollowing,
and they ran to her aid. They were
unable to put the flames out so carried
her to a ditch, which was about 30 feet
