Smith-A Oreat Oceanian
Lowell was the scene ou Sat
urday aitern oou of an interesting
occasion when tbe Lowfll Coun
cil of the Junior Order of United
American Mechanics presented
to tbe Lowell public school a
handsome flag and s Bible.
Before 3 o'clock, the, hour
when the exercises began, tbe
school bouse was crowded and
many wen unable to get inside.
The Lowell Council of the Ju
nior Order United American
Mechanics, together with a num
ber of representatives of tbe Gas
tonia ana McAdegville councils,
about eighty in all, attended in
n bedy.
Tbe meeting was called to
order by Mr. Hagfa Long of Gas
tools, wbo was master of cere
monies. After as opening prayer
by Rev. J. H. Bennett, pestor of
the Methodist church, Mr. Long
stated briefly the object of tbe
occasion. In a brief bat very
appropriate speech Rev. R. A.
Miller, tiulsr af the Pr*iKv.
terian choreh, then presented to
the school a handsome Bible,
the gift of the Juaior Order.
Following the singing of "My
Country, 'Tto of Thee" by the
school Col. Z. P. Smith of Ral
eigh, State Councilor of the or
der, was introduced. His ad*
dress was the principal feature
of the occasion. Besides being
State Councilor Mr. Smith is
also editor of th.e American, the
national organ of the order,
which is published at Raleigh.
He to a young man of strong
physique and a commanding
presence. He spoke for an hour
and held the closest attention of
the entire audience.
Mr. Smith began by saying
that the Juaior Order to distinct
ly a patriotic organisation as in*
dicsted by the red, white and
blue ot the liveries. None but
native bora Americana are eligi
ble to membership. While not,
so well knows nor so old ss some
other orders be said it filled a
distinct place of its own. He
told of toe organisation of the
order fifty two years ago in old
Concord school bouse at Ger
mantown, Pa., and depicted
graphically the shooting of
young George Sheflcr while car
rying a flag through the streets
of Philadelphia. A monument
was erected in Philadelphia to
this young hero and the story of
hto life has exerted a great in
fluence for patriotism.
The speaker refated vehe
mently the charge that the order
to a secret political organisation.
We are nationally political but
non-partisan, he said’. In this
connection the speaker told of
the recent successful opposition
of the order to the establishment
in this State of an immigration
bureau. Mora stringent natur
alisation lews are also sought
by the order.
A Urge portion of Mr. Smith's
•damn «u devoted to the pub
lic school* of the country. The
Junior Order has ever stood as
the protector and advocate of
the public school*. They com
pose the corner stone of the
United States; they constitute
the grist mill of the nation
which gathers np all claasemTand
turps out future citizens of the
republic.
llr. Smith spoke interestingly
of the growth of the order in
North Carolina during recent
years. At present then an 11.
000 members in the State.
At the close of Mr. Smith’s
address the school sang "Co
lombia.” la behalf of the
school and its patrons Prof. F.
P. Hall, county superintendent,
accepted the.flag and Bible in a
brief speech. The program was
dosed by the singings of "Tha
Star Spangled Banner,’’ after
which the audience repaired to
the outside when the flag was
raised over the school buildinp.
A photographer from the studio
of Green and Molten was on
band and took pictures of the
Jonion and the building. Thu
occasion was altogether a- most
pleasant one,
