L. Hackney, of the Knights
of Pythias, in company with other
of this section instituted a
lodge at Canton. One of the can ii-

was John Curtis, a lumberman of
Haywood county. Curtis had paid

the hall. Little attention was paid
to the demand, it was thought
that Curtis would ether drop the
matter or conclude taking his rank.
Several days after the incident at
Canton, and after Mr. Hackney had
returned to Asheville, he received a
letter in which the writer stated that
the must be returned or there
would be trouble, but nothing has
since been heard of the matter until

In uniforms are the snowy
