AGAINST PRIESTS AND FRIARS.
By Cable to The Times-Visitor.
LONDON, August 2". The commit
tee which has the interests of the
Philippine Islands in charge in Europe
has addressed a letter to President
McKinley regarding the appeal made
to him by the Roman Catholics eccles
iastics in America to protect the relig
ious orders in the islands. The expul
sion of the friars from the Philippines,
the committee contends, is a necessary
antecedant to moral sanitation. Tim
letter names particularly the arcn
bishop of Manila, also the bishop or
Nueva, of Segovia, of Neuva and of
Sagastas, "whose acts are heartily
against both the natives and the
Jesuits, and the other respected relig
ious institutions are condemned by
every one." The committee urges
President McKinley to aid the Philip
pines to suppresse the immorality of
the diabolical Institutions fostered by
these monks. The letter concluding as
follows: "Your name can never be as
sociated wtih that of these friars in the
sense of right and of a noble nation at
whose head you are placed which will
never permit ever the victorious hu
manitarlan stars and stripes to protect
them."

ODD FELLOWS' COLUMN.
The Grand Secretary returned yes
terday from a ten days visit, in the in
terest of the order. In the western part
of the State.
The town of Statesville, having been
dead to Odd Fellowship for three or
four years, is about to wake up with a
fine new Lodge.
Buena Vista Lodge, No. 21, at Greens
boro has issued beautiful invitations to
their friends to attend the presentation
of a Veteran's Jewel to Bro. L. C. How
lett, now Grand Junior Warden, on
September 6th. It promises to be a
delightful occasion.
From the way the papers speak of
the outing given for the pleasure of
the orphan .children by the Wilming
ton Odd Fellows, it must have surpass
ed anything yet given by those note
worthy brothers in Wilmington. Al
ready the praises of Wilmington Odd
Fellows are beng sung from Currituck
to Cherokee.
We have seen a letter from the Sec
retary of I'nity Lodge. No. S6, located
in Richmond, Va., making inquiry to
know if that Lodge could place an or
phan bov in our Orphan Home, and
upon what terms. He states that Vir
ginia has no Orphan Home for the
children of Odd Fellows.
Does the Grand Lodge of Virginia,
boasting its eleven thousand members
feel too poor to have a home for its
orphans? Shame!
We have been hoping, wishing, ex
pecting for a turn to come in the affairs
of the Order in Raleigh, that would at
least show an advancement in the gen
eral Interests of the Order and the
work In each of the Lodges. True,
much is being done for Odd Fellowship
in Raleigh. We are not disposed to
carp or find fault, but it does seem to
us that we ought to be nearer what
the Order designs us to be, and in so
doing be up and doing at all times and
under all circumstances what our ob
ligations reaulre of us to do. Think
on this.
We notice that elaborate prepara
tions are being made In and around
Boston for the pleasure and entertain
ment of the members and guests of the
Sovereign Grand Lodge, which will as
semble in that city on September the
i9th next. We are sorry that In such
laudable purposes the sharper will get
In some of his work occasionally, but
It seems to have become impossible to
avoid It. Perhaps there will be less of
It this time than usual. We are not
disposed to criticize the Massachusetts
brethren If they were to do too much
on this occasion, for It Is a worthy son
of that Jurisdiction that will be ele
vated to the highest office within the
gift of the Order. A son of which Mas
sachusetts may well feel proud, and of
which the Order In every corner of the
world, and most especially In North
Carolina will be glad to honor. Hon.
Alfred S. Plnkerton will bear the honor
of Grand Sire worthily and well.
But in the great ejoicing at this an
nual reunion we trust that the Inter
ests of the Order may not be lost sight
of.
We have been forcefully struck, on
several occasions recently, fcy the seem
ing revolution In sentiment that is .com
ing about among men toward Odd Fel
lowship. For several years past there seemed
to be a tendency to leave our Order, as
well as some other Institutions, and to
hunt for new concerns. Men were look
ing for finer game. They have been
"roaming the wide world o'er" to find
a great and glorious Institution, some
thing that would do much and expect
little. Some grand hocus pocus, fullef
glittering, dazzling highfalutin hilari
ties that would make a man King of
Lords and lord of kings. One that he
could say presto, change, and he had
all the shekels he needed. A great res
urrecting power to make men r well,
what?
On three occasions during the past
week we have been told by good men
In different localities that they have,
after several experiences, found that In
Odd Fellowship there was as much for
a man as in any orflanlzation he can
find, and henceforth we wlU stick to
that
MR. TEACH Y'S PROMISE
The Justiee Is Known to Have Written a
Letter to the Street . ommittee Ap
prov s i heir Action But Con
demns Tcachy,
It looks as though the city is to have
a suit on its hands all on account os
a misunderstanding between a boss or
a squad of street hands and a justice
of the peace.
From what can be gathered today u
is learned that on Hargett street Mr.
A. B. Teachy is in charge of a number
of men who are grading the street ana
he is said to have promised Mr. Wes
ley Whitaker, who resides at 512 East
Hargett street, to grade his lot witn
the street in consideration of certain
concessions made by Mr. Whitaker.
This is said to have happened on Au
gust 22nd and on August 24th report
has It Mr. Teachy directed the men to
take down the fence on Mr. Whitakers
property and place it in the back yard.
This was done and the work of grading
the sidewalk commenced, but Mr.
Whitaker was not satisfied with tne
manner of Mr. Teachy's actions and
asked the squad supervisor to fulfill
his promise. This he is alleged to have
refused to do and went further, accord
ing to the statement of Mr. Whitaker,
and denied that he had made such a
promise.
Now, Mr. Whitaker had taken proper
precaution and he claims to have had
witnesses on the spot when Mr. Teachy
gave his good word of promise to do
the work, but would not promise to do
it that day. The matter has arrived
at that point where it is a question 0!
veracity between the boss of the squad
of workmen and the justice of the
peace and his witnesses, but that is
not all, and from present indication,
it looks as though the city will soon
be entangled in the courts unless tne
Street Committee comes to the rescue
of Mr. Teachy and fulfills the promise
he is alleged to have made. It is stated
un the best of authority that Justice
Whtiaker has written a letter to tne
Street Committee in which he threatens
to sue the city if the matter is not at
tended to at once. He states in his
letter that he is in sympathy with the
Street Committee in their efforts to
improve the city, and says that the
action he will bring will furnish the
city capital for those who are clamoring
against improvement. He adds tnat
he is ready to pave his sidewalks after
the promised grading is accomplished.
The matter vt ill probabiy come up ror
official action next week.

SICK ONLY ONE DAY

Ex-Judge Edward T. Boykin, of this
city, died suddenly today at 12:30
o'colck in his room at the hotel in
Dunn, where he had arrived
last night. The news reached Raleign
this morning in a dispatch to Mr.
Armstead Jones, law partner of Juuge
Boykin, as follows:
Dunn, N. c., August 27, 1S98.
Armistead Jones. Raleigh:
Judge Boykin died at 12:30 o'clock ot
appoplexy.
D. H. M CLEAN.
The first news of Judge Boykins ill
ness came about 9 o'clock today and at
11:35 Mrs. Boykin left for Dunn, ac
companied by her physician. Dr. P. E.
Hines. Mrs. Boykin is due to arrive
at Dunn this afternoon at 3 o'clock ana
will then for the first time hear the
sad news.
At this hour the full particulars ot
Judge Boykins's sudden death cannot
be obtained. It is known that he spoke
yesterday at Peacock Cross Roads, near
Dunn, and was to speak today at Dunn.
He returned from f eacock Cross Roads
late yesterday afternoon and took a
room at the hotel. Tins morning he
did not come down for breakfast at ttie
usual hout ami upon investigation it
was found that he had been attacked
by appoplexy. His condition was
then critical and all obtainable medl-i-al
attention was given, but to no avail
and the end came suddenly at 12:30
o'clock. Judge Boykins death came as
a shock lo all Raleigh. He had many
friends and admirers in this city and
throughout the State. As a Judge he
was able and impartial, as a lawyer lie
had few equals in the State. He leaves
a wife and three children, two sons
and one daughter, Edward T. Boykin,
Jr., a private in the Greenville Com
pany of the Second Regiment, now at
St. Simons Island; Swift Boykin and
Miss Leslie Boykin.
Edward T. Boykin was born in Somp
son county forty-four years ago. His
father died while he was quite youny
and he was reared by his step-father,
the Rev. Mr. Bibb, of the Methodist
church. He received his education in
the public- schools and studied much at
home. He afterwards attended Trinity
College and from his class two ludges
have been selected in this State, Judge
Allen, of Guldsboro, and Judge Boykin.
His education was obtained by hard
woi k.
When quite a young man he was
elected to the State Senate from Samp
son county and was thrice their repre
sentative in the upper house. He was
first married to Miss Bizzell. daugh
ter of the Clerk of the Court in his
native county and from this union came
his three surviving children. At the
death of Judge McKay, Edward T.
Uoykin was appointed Judge by the
late Governor Alfred M. Scales, and af
ter being re-elected filled the position
until two years ago when he resigned
from the judgeship to come here to
practice law. He was associated with
Mr. Armistead Jones, of this city. Judge
Uoykin was married a few years since
to Miss Rogers, of Concord, and his
wife is universally popular in Raleigh.
Judge Boykin was considered the equal
of any lawyer in the State and his
death takes from the Raleigh bar one
of its safest counsellors.
W hen the news of Judge Boykin s
death was received in the county Dem
ocratic convention the delegates one
and all felt the blow as a personal one.
A number of citizens spoke of Judge
Uoykin as they knew him and from the
many expressions these few are taken.
Mr. Armistead Jones: "He was n
close personal friend, a man of the
highest sense of honor, able always,
courteous and gentlemanly and there
was no safer counsellor. The death of
Judge Boykin is a shock to me. He
was a noble man."
Mr. Josephus Daniels: "Judge Boykin
was as strong as men can be. He was
a man of fine intellect and as a judge
made a record that has never been sur
passed." Mr. R. M. Furman: "I have known
Judge Boykin since his entrance into
public life. A more honorable man in
all rt'r.tionships, public or private. I
have rever known."
Judge T. R. Purnell: "When on the
Superior Court Bench I regarded him
as the ablest man on the bench. I was
at college with Judge Boykin and have
known him through life. He was never
heard to say an unkind word about
a fellow man. He was cool headed,
able and far-sighted."
The remains will arrive in Raleigh
tomorro.

OFFICERS AUA1NST MEi
Ninety-five Per C.nt Favor Muster Out
Wbile the Officers Use their Influence
to Have the Kcginitnt ..ctnined
In Service,
It is stated that Col. Burgwyn, on the
authority of Col. Cowles now in Wasn
ington, makes this statement:
"The Second Regiment will remain
in the serivce, many of the men w isn
to be mustered out. Several officers
will resign."
The news comes straight from the
Second Regiment's camp that trouble
is a'brewing and the existing condi
tions point toward a hot fight soon to
be begun among the Regiment's men.
The statement attributed to Colonel
Burgwyn acknowedges that many of
the men wish to be mustered out and
other communications from St. Simon's
Island, from Lands End and from Ty
bee Island show that the "many" men
tioned constitutes about 95 per cent, or
the enlisted men and non-commissioned
officers. At St. Simons Island are six
companies of the Second Regiment ana
five of these have signed a petition to
the Secretary of War asking that they
be mustered out of service. The peti
tion was signed by 96 per cent, of the
five companies and one company, that
commanded by Captain Bell, of Rutn
erfordton, did not sign the petition be
cause they were afraid of discrimina
tion by their commanding officers.
The Savannah Morning News says
that of the 200 men in the two com
panies at Tybee Island only twelve
enlisted men are in favor of remaining
in service. The two companies men
tioned are Company D. of Greensboro,
Captain Percy Gray and Company A,
if Fayetteville. Captain Huske. Both
of these officers are said to favor
mustering out and it is known to be
the desire of Captain Gray to resign
in case the regiment is kept in service.
The desire of the two companies at
Fort Francis. St. Augustine. Fla., is
not known, but it is reported to :ie
about the same per cent in favor of
mustering out.
It is thought that this action of the
officers of the Second regiment in at
tempting to keep the regiment in ser
vice against the desire of the men. will
cause trouble and will cerate an un
pleasant state of affairs in the regi
ment. Though the great majority favor
mustering out the common report in
camp at St. Simons says that the regi
ment will be among those retained. It
is the wish of some of the officers that
the regiment be retained so that tiie
past record can be wiped out and they
can go out of the service as a clean
organization with only the cream in
service.
The resignation of Captain Cooper,
of Company M.. has been accepted.
Lieut. Conrad desires to appear before
a court martial that the insinuations
of Captain Cooper may be proven en
tirely false and that he be acquitted in
the proper manner.
Sergeant Major John Gore, of the
Wilmington Company, who was with
the Second Battalion, has been honor
ably discharged on account of physical
disability.
The report that the entire Second
Regiment will be taken to Jekyl Island
is discredited.
MR. Rl'SSEY'S EXHIBIT.
