To the young men of today much Is given and much is expected iu return. To be a member of one' or more of the secret orders of this period is the ambition of every yoixng man vhose bosom expands with hopes of the future. It has been stated that there are between tive and siix millions ^>f men enrolled in the various ordert or fraternities— say about one in every twelve or fourteen of the entire population of the United States. If true, frater- nalism is a power in the land, and if united, could sway the destinies of America as they,chose. But this can never be—never will be, nsver should be, because of the diiferences in nationalities, politics, religion, education and social caste —for “caste” has much to do with social distinctions in this country as well as in the east- And these fraternities are organized for spe cial purposes, principally social and benevolent. Mose young men seek admission for the good to be derived from them and the good they may do; some from curiosity; others for mercenary purposes. These latter soon drop out, as the winnowing of the grain secures the the best and plumpest- To such as enter for the first reason, there is a magnificent field for cid- tivation of the better nature. There is room for distinction and development where the latent prin ciples exist, but nowhere is there a place to manufacture benevolence where that bump has no existence in. the brain of the neophyte. As was once written of the profession of the law, “there is room above ”, so may be written of fraternity, “there is room above”, and merit is sure to be discovered and re warded by being selected for places of preferement and honor; and we would say to all young men of in telligence, who possess (lualifica- tions for positions of honor, ‘ ‘ Suc cess awaits you”, if your talents and zeal are not misapplied. “Come Avith us and we Avill do thee good ’ ’ When the path of life is cninibling Neath our weak uncertain tread, And our doubting sinking spirits Sickens with their sickening dread. * When we near the silent river * Floating outward dark and wide Crossing to the great forever Following an unknown guide. Will thou lead us Oh our Father By thy strong and loving hand Till at that eternal portal We as Pythians shall stand. Cayt. J. F. Hendren’s address was most able one, but as he de livered it extempore and we could not write short hartd we are unable to publish it. There were eighteen members of Pied mont Lodge present and' several visiting brethren from other lodges, and twenty three invited guests. Thus ended an evening of pleasure that will be long re membered by those who were privileged to be,present. COOI, SPKIJfO ITEMS. This dry cold weather is mak ing wheat look very bad. Some of it appears to be dead. Mr. Alfred Morrison is worse again, seems as if she cannot get well. William Jolly’s little girl has been very sick, but is some better now. Several of our fellows failed to list their taxes for 1896, and the the sheriff has been making it kind of hot for them.i Some of them have taken leg bail. Mr. Watson Settle, and Miss Ella Tharp were married last Wednesday, at W. A. Tharpe’s by Rev 0. F. Fields. They had a real nice time. Rev. N. J. Matthews and Rev. J. II. Vipperman passed through our town last Saturday on their way to Macedodia, to hold a ser ies of meetings. Eev. Vipperman preached at .Cool Spring on Sat urday, and Mathews on Sunday, both good sermons. SUBJiIOLOO. Feb. 15th. 1898. A few months ago, Mr. Byron Every, of Woodstock, Mich., was badly afflicted with rheumatism. His right leg was swollen the full length, causing him great suffering. He was advised to try Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. The first bottle of it helped him con siderably and the second bottle effecteji a cure. The 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by J. S. ]3ell. From Our Regular Correspondent. Washingtfin, D. C., Feb. 7, 1 “All quiet along tlie Potomac! Several days ago it seemed like ly that the fool letter written by Senor de Lome, late Spanish Minister at Washington, in which he insulted the President and said that Cnban autonomy and | the negotiations with this govern-! ment for a reciprocity treaty, were Spanish tricks, would make an entirely different beginning necessary for a Washington letter dated St. Valentine’s Day, but the blackguard Minister got his resignation accepted by his gov ernment before this government got in its request for his recall, and now all depends upon what Spain will Siff as to how the mat ter will en^d. Congress as a whole has be,en like a keg of powder, and had the president desired, he could, by a word, have furnished the spark that would have braught about an explosion. He chose the other plan, whether wisely or not every man will judge for himself, and we have had no explosion, except on the part of individuals wdiose brains and tongues work on the hair trigger principle. Whatever else may be its effect, de Lome’s let ter is expected to hasten inter vention in Cuba'by this govern ment, regardless of S2)anish apol ogies. Whether that interven tion will result in war is a (pes- tion upon which differen;! opini- ions are held by men equally competent to judge. Instead of trying to make pol itical capital out of the attitude of the administration towards the de Lome incident, as Tuany of his party colleagues are doing, Sena tor Gray, of Delaware, a promi nent member of the Committe on Foreign Relations, is trying to allay public excitement by ex pressing such opinions as the fol lowing: “It seems to me that the President has acted with great dignity in paying ho attention to the opinion concerning him which is found in the letter. He could not take cognizance of it without making himself a party to the theft, for, it must be re membered, this letter is a stolen one. As to the utterances of the Minister which indicate that Spain is using autonomy and reci procity as pretexts, I should say that they mnst be regarded in the same light. We cannot afford to base any complaints of this gov ernment on an incident which is the result of some person’s perfi' dy, because, if we do so, we countenance the crime and make ourselves a party to it. The U. S. is such a big and powerful body when it moves something has to give way. Naturally, therefore, wo should not move iinless there is something at stake, something more important and serious than a personal opinion expressed in a private connnuni- cation which came into public notice by surreptitious means. I am not in favor of hysterical leg islation or hysterical diplomacy. We should pursue our even course until the time comes when there is really occasion for up holding our dignity and honor. When, that time comes there will bo no ' division of opinion, and we, who take a conservative view,.will be found fully -as patri otic and as courageous as those who now stand tearing their shirts and blowing fish horns in stead of trumpets.” Senator Foraker, also a member of the Foreign Committee, who may be said to represent the other ex treme, said: “The incident should not be allowed to end with the acceptance by Spain of the Ministers resignation. AVe should have an apology. The offense of Minister do Lome was a serious one. In my judgemen the time has come for something affirmative, positive and conclu sive to be done by the United States. Christianity, morality, humanity, patriotism and the spirit of liberty, all combine to demand that we intervene to put an end to an atrocious struggle. We must answer for all the pill age, waste, rapine, butchery and starvation that may ensiie from seeker Col. Mat Q. Endorson, of Arkan- ^ sas wliile discussing his long wait : in Washington and his descent i I from terrapin and a small bottle, to pork and beatis unburdened hismind to a sympathetic listener: “If I never get the oflico I shall not die of grief. There is plenty of the solid comforts of life down in old ‘Rockensack’, and a fellow is always dead sure of a living. I’d like to win a place just to show the boys that I didn’t stay in Washington a year and five months for nothing, but if I fall down, all right, i-appiness in this life doesn’t all hinge on getting a Federal job.” The present week in the Se nate will determine ^yhether the treaty for thd annexation of Haw aii shall bo abandoned or pushed to a vote, it having been deter mined by the Committee on for eign relations to obtain a test vote upon some motion that will show just how many votes the treaty can command. Tliis ac tion on the part of the committee is the direct result of Senator Teller’s assertion in his strong speech in favor of annexation, that not enough votes to secure the ratification of the treaty could be had, and that the best thing to do was to push through a joint resolution of annexation. There are rumors that Speaker Peed will attemptto block annexation, to which he is opposed, should it be attempted by means of a reso lution or bill, but they are prob ably only rumors. SKW €ASTI.K NKWSi. Fine open weather for farm work. The public schools are begin ning to close throughout this sec tion; some of them ought to have closed before now, for they ara doing no good; report is that sev eral yearling boys, aged, Irom ten to fifteen years, cut wythes while at school, and hid them selves under the door steps for the purpose ot whipping their teacher; of late years many boys “are men,” in their own esti mation, at the above ages. Mrs. W. D. Howard has rooster that calls her every night by making a mournsul noise, if the door of his house is closed so he can not Mt in. . W. D. fell last week and 6prairi.^jais leg so severely that he was compelled ro call in Medical aid, and is still nursing it. Mr. Clarence Mayberry, and sister. Miss Joyce, and Miss Hes- sie Myers will enter school at Lone Hickory soon. Mr. J. F. Myers and family are visiting relatives near Jones- ville, and Lucile, this week.

Mormon preachers, and almost every other kind of tramps canvassing or roving this country over. Must close! if this does not find its way to the waste basket will write again when I have some thing of more interest to say. Mrs. Ugly Sam. IIEn FIRST KISN. This is how a Marion, (Va.) girl describes the sensation she experienced on receiving her first kiss. She said it made her feel like a tub of butter swimming in honey, cologne, nutmeg and cran berries, and as though something smooth were running down her nerves on feet of diamonds, es corted by several little cupids in chariots, drawn by angels shaded by lioneysiickles and canopied with melted rainbows. Now will the young man tell us how he felt.—Marion (Va.) JSTews. OltEGOSr lETTEK. Editok Times:—Perhaps a few lines from Oregon might be of some interest to some of your readers, so I decided to write you. I left my father’s house for Or egon on Nov, 21th, 1897, and ar rived at Eugene the 2nd day of Dec., making the trip of about 5,000 miles in eight days; I Could have arrived at my jour neys end tvv'o days sooner, but I was delayed so <much on my Vay. This is a beautiful country: the grass is gioen here all winter in places, and the trees'hang full of apples until Jan, 15th; it seems strange to North Carolinians' My husband and I are visiting f.ionds at this place now, Mr, and Mrs. T. F. Davis’ and are having quite a pleasant time; a few days ago a party composed of Mr. and Mrs, Hanks, and Mr. and Mrs. Davis went out on a hunting expedition; w-e stayed all daj", carrying lunch with us; the boys broiled beef on a fire vve built in the woods, were we so warm: lor the day was like an April day back at home in N. C.; 1 have not been cold here but one day this winter, and have only seen one little skiff of snow. The people here are the kindest I ever met; the people and the country are both alike, nice as can be, though we often think it would be nice to take a- glim pse of familiar faces in the Old North State again, though I would not come back now, if I could, as I think I have not stay ed long enough, after coming so far. M3' husband H. W. Hanks, and his friend, T. E. Daviis will start for Klondyke, Alaska the last of this month. I must close for the present.
