JOSEPH M. BROWN INAUGURATED EX-DISTRICT SECRETARY A. W. WIMBERLY New Governor Takes the Oath Before Brilliant Assemblage. SIMPLICITYMARKSCEREMONY State's New Executive Avoids Demonstration By Eluding the Big Crowd. Appointments Announced. Atlanta, Ga.-In the presence of the state officials of Georgia, legislative, executive and judicial, and the largest crowd that ever filled the hall of the house of representatives, Joseph Mackie Brown took the oath that qualifies him to discharge the duties of the chief executive of the state during the next two years. The oath was administered by Chief Justice William H. Fish of the supreme court of Georgia, at the conclusion of the inaugural address. Then Hoke Smith delivered to Joseph M. Brown the silver dies of the great seal of the state, and a new page had been turned in Georgia's political and official history. It was a dramatic, pulse-stirring moment when the two men faced each other, the one to receive from the other the insignia of power and executive authority. The silver dies, usually carefully wrapped in chamois and kept in the office safe of the secretary of state, lay in the open hand of Governor Hoke Smith. There was a silence that was almost oppressive as the man who had [Image of a man with a bald head and a mustache, wearing a dark suit and a white shirt. The background is plain white.]] GOVERNOR JOSEPH M. BROWN. just concluded a term as governor, and the man who entered upon a new term, completed the formality of the delivery of the seal. No word was spoken, but with exceeding gravity Hoke Smith handed the seal to Joe Brown, who bowed low to receive this visible insignia of power. Then the enthusiasm of the friends and supporters of Governor Brown, who packed the hall, broke forth. The cheering continued for several minutes. In the same order in which they had entered, the actors in the day's historic event retired from the hall a half-hour later. Governor Brown was followed to the executive office by probably two thousand friends, who filed through the office and shook his hand. As he retired from the hall of the house, Governor Brown was accompanied by Mrs. Brown, who stood by his side during the official reception and shook hands with the governor's friends. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Smith also assisted in receiving the visitors. Mr. Smith was the manager of Mr. Brown's successful campaign for the nomination. Every inch of space in the house was occupied when the hands of the clock pointed to the hour of noon. The whirring electric fans and the waving palms in the hands of visitors and legislators testified to the wilting heat. Hundreds who could not gain admission to the hall where the exercises were being conducted, crowded the corridors of the capitol. Promptly at noon Governor-elect Brown entered the hall on the arm of Representative Hall of Bibb. Governor Smith entered with Senator Rudell of the forty-second. The other members of the inauguration committee of the two houses followed. They were Senators Callaway of the twenty-ninth, Morris of the eighteenth and Representatives Anderson of Chatham, Garlington of Richmond, Daniel of Cobb and McCutchen of Heard. Next were the ex-governors of Georgia, Joseph M. Terrell, Allen D. Candler, W. J. Northen and Henry D. McDaniel. Following them were the federal and state court judges. Last came the justices of the supreme court and the judges of the court of appeals, who found places on the speaker's stand. The members of the family of Governor-elect Brown and his personal escort had seats in front of the stand on the left of the speaker. In addition to the official party and the invited guests of the persons who were taking conspicuous part in the proceedings, several hundred other persons crowded into the chamber. The galleries were packed, and the corridors outside thronged with persons seeking to gain admission. Every inch of space was occupied. It required frequent appeals from The Savannah Tribune. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. President Slaton and even a threat to clear the center aisle, before a pathway could be made for the judges of the supreme court to enter. Finally the judges wormed their way through to the stand. As Governor-elect Brown arose and faced the crowd he was greeted with cheers. Frequently during the delivery of his brief inaugural address, he was stopped by cheers and applause. The presiding officer made no attempt to stay the enthusiasm. Once or twice a partisan's cheer for "Hoke Smith". recalled the stirring scenes of the campaign which had been fought and won. The governor-elect spoke in an earnest, deliberate and forceful manner. He invoked the blessing of God and dedicated himself for the next two years to the service of the state. At the conclusion of Mr. Brown's inaugural address he announced, "I am now ready to take the oath of office." Chief Justice Fish of the supreme court of Georgia, administered the required oath. Mr. Brown rejected the Bible regularly used in the house and held in his hand a small Bible, covered with brown leather. It was the gift of his father and bore on the fly leaf the inscription, "Presented to Joseph M. Brown by his Father, December 28, 1863." When he had responded "I do" to the oath he bent reverently and kissed the book he held in his hands. Nothing remained but the delivery of the great seal of the state. When this passed from the hands of the retiring governor to the hands of the new governor the ceremonies of the day were concluded. Returning to the executive office, Governor and Mrs. Brown took their positions in the center of the large reception room and for over an hour shook the hands of admiring friends. Mrs. Brown shook as many hands as did the governor. Conspicuously displayed by the Savannah delegation which attended the inauguration was a banner bearing the coat of arms of Georgia and the words, "Chatham County, 3,016 Majority." For a while this banner was held over the governor's head by an enthusiastic Chatham county admirer. At the conclusion of the reception a handsome bronze desk set was presented to Governor Brown by the Chatham delegation in the governor's private office. Sig Myers made the presentation speech. Governor Brown's first and only official business was the issuance of an executive order, appointing the secretaries of the executive department, designating their work and fixing their salaries. Benjamin H. Blackburn of Atlanta will receive $2,200 per year. A. H. Ulrich of Atlanta will receive A. H. Ulm of Atlanta will receive $2,000 per year. C. C. Brantley of Valdosta will receive $1,800. The governor is allowed $6,000 per year for the compensation of his secretaries and clerks, and he may divide it to suit himself. The reception at the executive office over Governor and Mrs. Brown were the guests at dinner of Julius Brown, brother of the governor. FIREMENS' STRIKE SETTLED. Arbitrators Announce Their Declisions on Points at Issue. Atlanta, Ga.—Negroes will continue firing on Georgia Railroad trains. This was the chief point decided by the arbitrators in the well-known Georgia strike case, Chancellor David C. Barrow of the University of Georgia and Hillary A. Herbert, appointee of the Georgia road, concurring, and T. W. Hardwick, appointee of the firemen, entering a dissenting opinion. On a number of other points the Georgia firemen win. The firemen had contended for the same wages to be paid the negro firemen and the white firemen. This was granted by the arbitrators. The firemen had urged this scale of wages because they were of the opinion that if the road had to pay the same wage, it would prefer to hire white men, who are admittedly more intelligent, and who alone can become engineers, the negroes being barred. At the present time the negroes are employed as firemen because they work for less money, so the Georgia employees say. It was agreed by the arbitrators that firemen in line of promotion to the position of engineer shall have three years' experience before being promoted to that position and shall be promoted in the order of their seniority, provided they are able to pass all reasonable requirements and examinations. If they fail to pass their examinations or refuse to pass, they will be reduced to freight service without losing their seniority. Falling in their second examination, they will be reduced to the bottom of the extra list. It was agreed that all hostlers shall receive their present rate of pay; assistant hostlers shall be considered as yard firemen and paid the same; extra firemen when used as hostlers shall be paid as hostlers. The arbitrators agreed that in filling vacancies to firemen's seniority alone shall not control, though it may be considered in connection with efficiency. The firemen asked that all firemen, when hired, shall be placed in freight yard or hostling service and the senior white firemen shall have preference of engines and runs. This was denied by the arbitrators. Hardwick dissented. The firemen asked that the firemen be not required to throw switches, flag street crossings or tarins, except in cases of emergency. This was denied, all arbitrators concurring. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1909. Yields to Popular Demand and Announces for District Grand Secretary. ANNOUNCEMENT INTERESTING READING Guarantees Protection to Lodges, and Delegates Against Intrigue. --- EX-DISTRICT SECRETARY, A. W. WIMBERLY. Building on Sand By Frank W. Skinner N New York nearly all the tall office buildings have their foundations on the quicksand, in it, or under it, and as a rule they are more difficult, dangerous and costly to build than anywhere else in the world. It is required to provide absolutely safe separate supports for from fifty to a hundred columns, fifteen or twenty feet apart, each carrying loads of from 100 to 2000 tons. Thirty feet below the surface the sand is found compressed to a hard, dense mass which, undisturbed, will carry safely a load of 6000 or 8000 pounds per square foot. When, therefore, the building is not too heavy, and there is no expectation of deeper-foundations being built alongside, the new foundations are often laid on the surface of the sand, which has from one-half to the whole of its area covered with them.—The Century. TO THE ODD FELLOWS OF GEORGIA. Augusta, Ga., June 21, 1909. Dear Brethren: Yielding to the demands of prominent and loyal Odd Fellows from every section of Georgia, I have allowed them to put me in the running for the position of District Grand Secretary, G. U. O. of O. F., for the jurisdiction of Georgia, subject to the action of the Grand Lodge, which convenes at Albany the second Tuesday in August. In making this announcement I deem it due the Odd Fellows of Georgia that I shall state some of the reasons that impell me to stand for the position: 1. The appeal of the brethren from all over the state was practically a command, such as no loyal member of the order could afford to disregard, especially when it is clearly made to appear that the good of the order demands his services. 2. Conditions make united action necessary, that the principles of the order may be kept untarnished through selfish greed for pelf and power. 3. We have seen that twenty-two thousand ($22,000) dollars of Endowment money, not only without sanction of them, have been taken from our treasury and paid (?) for a piece of property in Atlanta, which piece of property was returned for taxation at the value of only five thousand and five hundred ($5,500) dollars. This money belonged to the widows and orphans of the order and should be forever held as sacred and kept free from the touch of unholy hands. 4. A desire to have Friendship, Love and Faith re-enthroned, and the abuse—willification of members of the order by some of its officers put to an end forever; that every officer elected by our votes shall be made to understand that he is your servant, not your master. 5. That our Executive Committee hereafter named shall be made to know that the Odd Fellows of Georgia will demand that the orders of the S. C. M. shall be obeyed, and that the funds of our order shall not be used for the defense of any officer who disregards them, as has been done in the recent past, when about $400 of our money was so unlawfully diverted. These, and numerous other reasons, have prompted me to accept the nomination, and make the race. I served you ode year as District Grand Secretary. During that period there was complete harmony and no criticism of the conduct of the office. By that record, I am willing to be judged. Finally, brethren, I have been told that one of the members of your Executive Committee is giving out the threat that delegates who do not favor the re-election of himself and his colleagues will be kept out of the District Grand Lodge, "on the grass," and that certain other practices will be resorted to to intimidate you and nullify the will of the members of the order. As your representative I want to assure you that I am in position, with the hosts of loyal brothers who are supporting me, to guarantee you that no such outrage shall be permeated. Assuring you that my campaign throughout shall be clean and above just censure, and with abiding faith in the good judgment of the delegates I confidently solicit your co-operation in the effort thus being made to save the Grand-United Order of Odd Fellows of Georgia from further humiliation and possible destruction. With the assurance that if I am elected District Grand Secretary, which now seems certain, I shall at all times discharge the duties of the office as your servant and never prosume to be your "boss." I am Yours in F., L. and T., A. W. WIMBERLY. TENNESSEE IS "DRY" Prohibition Law Now In Effect In the State. NO DISORDER REPORTED Bars In Chattannoooga, Nashville, Memphis and LaFollette Had Bargain Sales of Liquor. Nashville, Tenn.-With the passing of the month of June, the statewide prohibition law, enacted by the recent general assembly of Tennessee, went into effect. It prohibits the sale of intoxicants within four miles of a school house anywhere in the state, applying the inhibition to Nashville, Memphis, Chattanooga and LaFollette—the only municipalities that were not included in former extensions of the old "four-mile law." The manufacturers' bill to prohibit the manufacture of liquors does not become operative until January 1, six months' more time having been given the brewers and distillers than was given the retailers by the legislature. In Chattanooga and Memphis it is understood that suits will be brought by retail dealers as well as by manufacturers and wholesalers. The transition from the old to the new order, so far as Nashville is concerned, was effected without notable disorder of any kind. The presence of an unusual number of people from rural districts was noticeable on the streets, and all the 120 saloons did a wonderful business up to the arrival of the very minute for the final closing of the doors. But in proportion to the surprising amount of liquor consumed, the number of the drinks was not large. The saloon men as a rule accepted the inevitable in seeming good part. Many locker clubs, it is said, will be opened, but with what success remains to be seen. Memphis, Tenn. — Solemn toned bells in church towers and town clock steeples telling the midnight hour marked the passing of the saloons and whiskey out of Tennessee. The passing of the saloons in Memphis, and in other cities throughout the state, according to advises received here, was marked by scenes of unusual hilarity. Saloon and grog shops were crowded with lively revelers. Extra police precautions were taken here. This was done at the request of saloon men, who feared that the crowds about to start on the long Marathon race of prohibition would overstep the bounds in some instances of good behavior. But it was on the main a good natured throng which indulged in their last firewell revelry. Chattanooga, Tenn. — The excise law of this city made prohibition effective here two hours ahead of the requirement of the statewide statute. So far as reported, not a saloon in the city attempted to keep open after 10 o'clock, obeying the Chattanooga's 10 o'clock closing ordinance with the same good grace that the state law was observed. From opening time every retail and wholesale house in the city had all the patrons that could be handled with a greatly augmented force of clerks. Men stood in line for hours awaiting their turn to buy their last parcel or drink of liquor over a public bar in Chattanooga. Extra details of police were put on early in the day, and as the crowd thickened the force of officers was increased. At night every saloon in the city was well-policed, and, though drinking was heavy, there were no serious disturbances in any part of the city. The day and night resembled a holiday, the streets being lined with people who displayed the best of humor throughout the day. Sixty-seven retail houses and thirty-three wholesale concerns are closed in this city. January 1, 1910, five distilleries and one brewery will have to cease business here. A number of locker clubs are being organized with several already in operation. Memphis, Tenn., in the preliminary skirmish of a legal battle which, it is declared, is destined for the highest court in the land for final adjudication, those who favor the sale of alcoholic beverages in Tennessee gained the advantage in the issuance of an order by Chancellor H. Dent Minor, which restraints temporarily, the enforcement of the manufacture and sales acts of the recent legislature, the latter of which went into effect at midnight, so far as it will interfere with the operation of the Tennessee Brewing Company's plant and business in this city. The order of the chancellor came in answer to a petition of the majority stockholders of the brewing company, which seeks to permanently enjoy the state and county officials from the enforcement of the law because, they declare, it is unconstitutional and would cause an irreparable loss. GUILTY OF PEONAGE Four Farmers Are Fined in United States Court. Mobile, Ala.-Pleading guilty to an indictment of the federal grand jury, charging that, they conspired to hold farm hands in a condition of peonage, four of the nine prominent Monroe county farmers and officers, were assessed fines by United States Judge Toulmin. William Shannon was fined $200 in each case on two indictments and $160 on a third. Barley Dawson was fined $200. G. Aley Fountain, a justice of the peace, $25 in each of two cases; J. L. Courtney was fined $50 on a charge of conspiring. High Prices Due to Lack of Farm Labor, Says Secretary Wilson. Washington,—"Lack of farm hands, a problem which the American farmer now faces, is the chief cause of the high price of foodstuffs," said Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson. "All thru the West and Northwest the same situation exists. "The country is as healthy and prosperous as it ever was, but thousands of acres of valuable and fertile land are resting idle, because the owners can not hire labor, although wages paid farm hands in these states are the equal of those paid to the labrers in our largest cities." "The Mississippi valley states do not feel the want of farm labor so much as the Western states, for the negro partially solves the problem, but, nevertheless, the farmers in the valley states can find work for every laborer who applies to them." AWAITING SULTAN ROOSEVELT Uganda Ruler Had Heard of American "Benefactors of Blacks." Mengo, Uganda, Protectorate, British Africa.—In an interview with Daudl Chwa Kampala, the boy king of Uganda, who is the nominal ruler of the country over which the British government has established a protectorate, the young ruler greeted the correspondent traveling ahead of the Roosevelt expedition effusively, saying: "I have been looking forward with the greatest glee to meeting Sultan Roosevelt and will see that he is received with befitting honors" when he reaches my country. I have heard of the great good he has done to the blacks in America, and I shall receive this man, who was a benefactor to my race, in a strange land, in a most royal manner. "Sultan Roosevelt will find splendid hunting in Uganda, and I shall see that his hunt here is successful." Mengo is near the mouth of the Kivira river on Victoria Nyanza (lake) and about four thousand feet above sea level, six hundred miles from Mombasa as the crow files. The head waters of the Nile are in Uganda. BALLOONISTS COURT DEATH. St. Louis Aeronauts Take Hazardous Trip Through Clouds St. Louis, Mo.-John Berry, winner of the Indianapolis distance cup, and M. A. Halmann, a balloon manufacturer, who is seeking a balloonist's license, ascended in the latter's bag near Belbach. They nearly met death at the start. They were carried swiftly to an altitude of eight thousand feet, then ten thousand feet into thunder clouds. At times the balloon lay on a level with the basket as the wicker pitched madly by sudden jerks. "The trip was the most hazardous one I ever experienced," said Berry later. "After we entered the cloud we were in a cold, penetrating mist, which nearly froze us. I believe the temperature was several degrees below freezing." Berry and Helmann landed at Rock Hill, three miles from St. Louis. Helmann sprained his ankle getting out of the bucket. LOCKER SYSTEM·UPHELD. Judge Sayre Rules Liquors Are Property and May Be Owned. Montgomery, Ala. — The supreme court gave much encouragement to the locker system by holding that a man may own and keep as much liquor about his place as he sees fit, provided it is legally secured. The opinion is by Justice Sayre and reiterates the principle that intoxicating liquors are property and may be owned and held as such. The Besserman ordinance prohibiting storage of liquors in places where soft drinks are sold is declared in violation of the constitution of the state and nation. The effect will be to make storage of liquors legal, and, as the ruling is constitutional, it is not possible to see what the legislature can do to break up locker systems. FLIRTING IS ENDORSED Harvard Professor Says College Boys and Girls Are Too Studious. Boston, Mass. — Professor George Herbert Palmer of Harvard, 67 years old, has come forward with the statement that a little flirting, properly conducted, of course, is not only advisable, but even imperative for the average college boy and girl. "Filtrating is the surest way toward the proper knowledge of social life," says the professor. "I think the girls of Radcliffe and the boys of Harvard devote too much of their time to study. They actually bury themselves in their books, and the result is that when they get through college they don't know a thing about social life. "They should mingle a little frivolity with their studies—in other words, they should flirt a little." General Crosby Kills Himself. San Francisco, Cal. — General Georg B. Crosby, aged sixty-nine, one of the few surviving brigadier generals of the confederate army, committed suicide in Oakland by inhaling gas. He had suffered long from paralysis and had become discouraged. Abdul Hamid's Wealth. Constantinople, Turkey.—It is understood the government has ascertained that the cash deposits of Abdul Hamid, the deposed sultan of Turkey, in the Imperial Bank of Germany, amounts to $5,000,000. Turkish pounds, approximately $21,500,000. How to obtain possession of this sum is exercising the Turkish authorities. L. B. WILLIAMS, President. P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President.

Skinner Deeds, Contracts, Wills and Other Legal Forms Prepared and Attested. 119 West St Julian Street There are many ways of cooking oysters. "Angels on Horseback" are well known but I should hope not very well liked. It is a barbarous conjunction, that of bacon with oysters; a tremendous compliment to the bacon, it is true, but an insult to the fish. N New York nearly all the tall office buildings have their foundations on the quicksand, in it, or under it, and as a rule they are more difficult, dangerous and costly to build than anywhere else in the world. It is required to provide absolutely safe separate supports for from fifty to a hundred columns, fifteen or twenty feet apart, each carrying loads of from 100 to 2000 tons. Thirty feet below the surface the sand is found compressed to a hard, dense mass which, undisturbed, will carry safely a load of 6000 or 8000 pounds Nor can I praise the steak- and oysters so dear to many. But as an ingredient in a beefsteak pie nothing but praise can be spoken of the bivalve. There are oysters in that most delicious of pies, the one that cooks for twenty-four hours and keeps a man up all night to see that it does not leave off boiling.

GOVERNOR BROWN'S MESSAGE TO ASSEMBLY Atlanta, Ga.—Governor Brown's first message to the general assembly was presented to both houses Thursday. Governor Brown begins his message by asking the co-operation of the general assembly in certain matters which seem to him timely and expedient. A Constructive Georgia. Governor Brown states that the motto of the state—"Wisdom, Justice, Moderation"—must ever be kept in mind in solving the problems before the general assembly. He says animosity and denunciation must be discarded and the right to hold individual opinions and to exercise individual judgments be accorded to those who differ with us. Moved by this splirit, he quotes from the democratic platform that wherefore he was elected, follows the policy of the citizens of this state, but citizens of other states, that all capital invested in legitimate enterprise in Georgia; whether foreign or domestic, corporate or private, shall have the equal protection of the laws and the equal-friendly consideration of those who administer the laws." He explains that the above words are but an amplification of the principle enunciated in the bill of rights of the constitution of Georgia, wherein it is stated "protection to person and property is the paramount duty of government, and shall be impartial and complete." From this he finds synonymous words "equal" and "impartial" which mandate which declare the will of the sovereign people and, therefore, esteems "Equality" and "impartiality" the key-words in the state relationship to the citizen. The governor points out that as there is not sufficient capital in Georgia to develop the resources of the state, build railroads and to furnish more banking capital, foreign capital must, be induced to come to the state, and it must be guaranteed protection of its principal and protection of its power to earn a reasonable income. He states that the capitalist from outside of the state must have the guarantee that his money invested in Georgia shall have the same right whether invested in public utility corporations or otherwise as the Georgian's money invested in his own state—the same, no more, no less; Governor Brown states clearly that the full power vested in the executive shall be used to protect the people against any unjust conduct on the part of the corporations. Prompt: Payment of Teachers. Governor Brown, in his message, states that one of the greatest drawbacks to the advancement of the common school system of Georgia is in the manner of paying teachers. The state is 'one year behind in paying the teachers' salaries. He proposes that the general assembly submit to the people of the state an amendment to the constitution authorizing the issuance of about $600,000 of bonds, the cost of which should be create a permanent loan fund to be loaned every spring to the school fund for the payment of teachers' salaries and returned to this loan fund in December. Public Institutions. The governor asks that various educational institutions, including the agricultural schools recently established, be properly supported. Labor Commissioner. The governor urges the general assembly, as well as an industrial economy and necessity, to establish a department of labor, where the toil elements of the people may have their interests guarded and their rights protected. He says the commissioner of labor should be specially charged with the enforcement of the child labor laws; it should be his duty to compile statistics showing labor conditions throughout the state and furnish the same to industrial institutions who desire such information, and, in connection with the attorney general, and in the case of railroad employees, in connection with the chairman of the railroad commission, act as a mediator in disputes between capital and labor, when called on by either side. Taxation. The governor points out that, under the present imperfect tax system, it is impossible to secure uniformity or equality of taxation. He recommends the enactment of legislation providing a new system of taxation, with boards of equalizers for each county, and state board of equalizers upon whom shall devolve the duty of assessing all property now required to be returned to the comptroller general, as well as equalizing the assessment in the various counties of the state. Inheritance Tax. The governor assures the legislature that an inheritance tax law which they may pass will receive his unqualified approval. Change Time of General Elections. The governor calls the attention of the general assembly to the advisability of changing the time of the general election the first Wednesday after October to Tuesday after first Monday in November, and thereby saving to the people the cost of an election. Biennial Sessions. The governor states that the conviction of the people seems to be that annual sessions result in the making of unnecessary laws and in unnecessary expense to the taxpayers. Public Roads' and Convicts. Governor Brown points out that the pledge of the present administration to place the convicts of the state upon the public roads had been redeemed, in a great measure, by the last general assembly. He states that STATE TREASURY FUNDS LOW. For Current Expenses. Atlanta, Ga.-Georgia has in its state treasury only about $35,000 available for present use. As a matter of fact there is a much larger amount in the treasury, but two specific funds are not available until the legislature passes upon the question of this disposal. These two funds are the last payment from lessees under the old form of governing convicts and the near-beer tax. convicts should be employed upon the public roads or works, and no traffic in convict labor should be allowed; frequent inspections of the various camps should be made in order to prevent, as far as possible, violations of the rules of the prison commission, and feeble and disabled convicts should be placed upon a farm for their support and maintenance. Governor Brown bespeaks careful consideration by the general assembly of amendments to the convict labor act of 1908. The operation of the law has suggested to the authorities charged with its execution the necessity of amendments looking to the perfection of the law. Common Carriers. Governor Brown regards it as unfortunate that the railroads should have born the bone of political content in this state, and says: "While abnormal increase in traffic of several years ago, due to the rapid growth and development of our state and its industries at that time, had much to do with the inability of the railroads to render proper and satisfactory transportation services, thereby causing much irritation to the public, it cannot be doubted that there were other just causes of complaint on the part of the people which could not be fairly attributed to more increase in business. Among some of these complaints were the frequency of overcharges and inaccuracies in the freight bills; long delays in the settlement of just claims; lack of proper consideration for the interests of the shipper and consignees of freight. Additionally these evils ought to be corrected. Certainly they should be diminished. far as they should amplify power of the state to correct them, regulation and correction of evil regulation a different matter from retaliation and revenge. As a matter of fact, neither revenge nor retaliation should have any place in the people have just grievance against the people have a public service corporation, it is comparatively easy to arouse public passion and prejudice to such an extent that instead of attempting to correct existing evils, they content themselves with punishing the corporation in other ways, and when the pendulum of popular feeling has spent its force and exhausted its power in revenge alone, and the wreck is surveyed, it swings back to the other extreme, leaving the real evils uncorrected. If, therefore, suggest to you the advisability of providing by direct legislation, some fair and reasonable method whereby the individual shipper and consignee of freight may enforce his rights, and obtain redress promptly in the courts of the state, for overcharges in freight, and for other settlements, the settlement may claim. This can done by legislation providing necessary for delays in setting claims. In my opinion, such laws will prove a much more efficient remedy to the individual shipper and consignee, who can bring suits in their local courts, if they prefer, rather than pursue the present indirect method of relief through the railroad commission." Double Tracking Main Lines. That the state will, in a few years, be able to require the railroads to greatly improve the railroads; to build larger depots and more comfortable waiting rooms; to increase their side tracks, add more passenger trains and like improvements; if, the future policy of the state be to abstain from unwarranted reduction of rates, i.e. the income of the owners of these railroads is asserted by Governor Brown. He thinks that if the owners of common carriers could be shown that their incomes would not be unreasonably reduced, they would, undoubtedly, double-track their main lines, and thinks it would be easier for the general assembly, to authorize the railroad commission to confer with the authorities of the main lines with the view of double-tracking them; yet, the governor does not advocate any increase in the rates now in effect. It would cost, approximately, $25,000,000 to double-track the main lines in Georgia, and the governor-estimated value in the state, with this amount would lodge in the state. Municipal Control: Governor Brown commends the principle of municipal control of public utility corporations. Railroad Commission. The governor calls attention to the amendment or addition, to the railroad commission law, regulating the issuance of stocks and bonds by common carrier corporations. He states that theory upon which the amendment was founded is, on the surface, quite tenable, but on examination will show that the result will be the practical stay in railroad building in Georgia save in branch or short lines. Governor Brown favors a reduction in the membership of the commission from five to three, and the abolition of the names of special attorney and the expert to the same. He shows that the commission is coating the taxpayers $19,500 a year and states that the sinicules provided, in the amended railroad commission law are too patent to justify discussion, hence he submits the subject to the general assembly with these crucial questions: What has the railroad commission of five members, with a special attorney and a rate expert done, which a railroad commission of three members composed as under the law could not have done, if clothed with the same powers now, existing? If three commissioners (each with quarter power) are elected, with clothed, with the same powers WILL BUILD NEW ROAD. Franklin, Heard County. Newnan, Ga. The Western of Georgia railway has let the contract for the construction of the proposed road to Ira L. McCord & Company of New York. When completed, the road, which is to be built from a point near Aberdeen on the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic road, by way of Newnan to Franklin in Heard county, will be about thirty-five miles in length. now conferred upon five commissioners) could have done during the past two years and can do in future the same things done and to be done by the five commissioners, the attorney for the commission and the rate expert, why should the taxpayers of Georgia be burdened with the unnecessary salaries now paid to the two surplus commissioners and the two other gentlemen associated with them? Registration Law. Governor Brown calls attention to serious defects and unnecessary barriers in the registration law passed by the last general assembly. No provision was made for registry lists before the general election in 1910. He states that this omission has already caused considerable confusion in connection with holding special elections, and unless corrected; will cause more, besides laying "serious grounds upon which to question the validity of every special election ordered under its terms. In his judgment one of the main provisions of the law should be amended. It provides that the registry lists shall be closed on April 1st of election years, or more than six months in advance of the election. He recommends that this be changed, so that the interim between the closing of the lists and of the elections may be no more than thirty days before general election, special or primary elections. As a large majority of farmers and business men do not pay their taxes in person, but by agents or by clerks, the governor says, the present law will practically disfranchise many good citizens. Lobbying. Governor Brown urges the legislature to pass laws which will eliminate lobbying: State Banks. The governor$^2$asks the general assembly to pass just but rigid laws to give the innocent depositor, who simply deposits his money for safe keeping every protection he deserves. He states that all penalties for violating the law applicable to banks of issue should be made to apply to every bank chartered under the district jurisdiction as is required by the federal law for national banks should be required for state banks. Game Laws. Governor Brown calls attention to the necessities for changes in the game laws. He suggests that the season for killing game be shortened and limitation be placed upon the exportation of game from the state, as birds and other game, once pleniful are now scarce and in some localities almost exterminated. Fish and Oysters. The governor suggests that the general assembly name a joint committee to examine the state laws of Maryland and Virginia and other coastal states on the subject of acquisition and protection of oysterbeds, with the view to making these beds a source of income to the people and of revenue to the state. He states that fish laws should be in harmony with the plan to stock the streams with fish and to give them such protection as will cause them to increase. State, Military. Governor Brown urges the general assembly to give proper support and encouragement by appropriate legislation to the militia of the state. As the military schools of the state are important feeders to the military organization of the state Governor Brown suggests that the governor be authorized to commission the principals or commandants of such schools as may comply with the necessary requirements. Confederate Soldiers. The governor points out that it will be necessary for the general assembly to enact suitable legislation, to carry out the constitutional, provisions extending pensions to all confederate soldiers, and widows of confederate soldiers, who are not worth exceeding $1,5000. He says-care should be taken that no reduction be made in the amount paid pensioners enrolled under the existing law. The governor suggests that the general assembly before passing through this question, although appropriate committees, the probable number, that will come within the requirements of the constitution, as amended. Governor Brown calls the attention of the general assembly to the confederate cemeteries near Resaca and in Marietta and urges that these hallowed resting place be kept in such order as beits the infection the people cherish for the heroic who braved war's terrors and dled for Georgia's honor. As further evidence of Georgia's enduring gratitude the governor urges the general assembly to take under consideration the erection, in the capitol square in Atlanta, of a monument to the memory of the confederate dead. In concluding his message, Governor Brown says: "I trust that you will allow me to express the high appreciation in which I hold your honorable bodies, and the confidence I feel in the loyalty to our state, and in the fidelity to her constitution which inspires the heart of each member. While you doubtless will differ at times, as to policies, or the application principles, with each other and with your executive, I will be assured that your differences, if such there should be, will be found bordered by a circle within which we can all unite—a circle whereon, written as in letters of gold, we read the words, 'Love for Georgia.'" MILITIA'S REQUEST GRANTED: Governor Brown Orders One Week Encampment. Atlanta, Ga.—Governor Brown has decided to order practically all the troops of the state into camp this year for a period of approximately one week. The cost of the encampment will be paid out of the state's portion of the appropriation made by the national government for arming, equipping and instructing the national guard of the state. Pedigree and Accomplishments of Excelsior, Jr., the Bright, Particular Star of Old Dan Rice's One-Horse Show--The Famous Clown Called His Blind, Milk-White Wonder "The Very Quintessence of Quadruped Grandeur, Without a Rival in the Equine Circles of the Circus World." ```markdown ``` EXCELSIOR. JR. The elder generation of our readers who patronized the "One Ring Circus," in their salad days, doubtless remember the remarkable trick horse Excelsior and his son, Blind Excelsior, Jr., both owned, trained and exhibited by Colonel Rice. The illustration of Blind Excelsior is of manifold interest. It is not only a perfect likeness of the wonderful horse as he appeared in his declining years, but it is the last picture made by the master hand of the lamented Herbert S. Kittedge. This priceless painting, the only one now in existence, and for which Colonel Rice offered at one time the sum of $500, subsequently became the property of Mr. Chas. T. Harris, then on the editorial staff of Wallace's Monthly. The following excerpts from the diary of Colonel Rice, concerning the characteristics of sire and son, are of interest: There was a slight difference in the susceptibility of the two horses, the original Excelsior being purer bred than his son. He was sired by the racehorse Gray Eagle, that ran against Wagner at Louisville, Ky., in the early sixties. His dam was by Envory, imported to this country by Judge Wilkins, of Pennsylvania, who was Minister to Russia. Excelsior, Sr., was bred and owned by Dr. Thomas, of Hawesville, Hancock County, Ky., and in the fall of 1850 ran a two-mile race over the Lexington track in 3.51. I educated him with less trouble than I had with his son, but his performances were of a different character, being classic and artistic in the way of graceful movements and grand and imposing attitudes. Excelsior, Jr., was a keystone to the arch of the original "One-Horse Show;" for in those days he formed the "whole stud" of that much-talked of institution. He was a very quintessence of quadruped grandeur. His mervulous sagacity was only equalled by his elegance of carriage. With a milk-white skin, and mane and tail of remarkable length and fleecy whiteness, a neck of extraordinary mould and perfect reach of arch; in truth, and symmetrically formed was this noble brute, there should be scant surprise that he was universally regarded and enthusiastically conceded to be, in intelligence, color and general condition, without a rival in the equine circles of the circus world. So widespread was his fame he attracted the notice of Rosa Bonheur, who wrote the famous photographic-artist Sarony to forward her photographs of the blind marvel. After spending several weeks studying Excelsior in every possible pose, a score of superb specimens were sent the great French artist, aboard the ill-fated Ville de Havre, and so never reached their destination. The poet Longfellow was also one of Excelsior's most ardent admirers. One night at the close of the performance he accompanied Colonel Rice to the paddock, and whilst caressing the sightless wonder said: "This horse is so human in his conduct, so beautiful in his presence, so patient and confiding in his affliction, that really, Mr. Rice, I am almost persuaded to believe there must be a sort of horse heaven after all." The loss of sight in Excelsior, Jr., which occurred in his second year, no doubt strengthened his hearing and made him more attentive to what was said to him. So keenly sensitive was he of sound, that, speaking once in a sibilant tone to my ringmaster some fifty feet distant, this whispered remark caught his ear, although not heard by Mr. Rosston: "I must shorten the programme—Excelsior will ascend the stairs." Before I could advance to the horse to give him his cue he arose on his hind legs and proceeded with his forefeet to climb an imaginary staircase. Of course this was after many years of arduous toll in teaching him to understand and distinguish sounds. I took the idea from seeing in early times the wagoners of Pennsylvania driving their spike by word of command. I worked at the principle until I reduced the theory to a science, knowing the horse had the most acute hearing of any of the animal creation, and the greatest memory, not excepting man, for a man frequently forgets—a horse never does. In short, I worked on the principle that we know the meaning of words by their sound, and in educating both horses demonstrated that the horse is next to man in point of instinct and intelligence. The feats of this famous animal have been made so familiar to the reader throughout the pages of this biography proper, that further attempts to add anything of interest would be superfluous. Perhaps his most wonderful achievement was the ascension and descension of the staircase, going up and down both backward and forward, in an almost perpendicular position, with a rubber ball balanced between his ears—a feat no horse but him could ever be instructed to acquire. He was par excellence the premier performer of the circus world. Dr. Knox, from whom Colonel Rice obtained Excelsior, was a regular attendant during the days of the OneHorse Show, and being also a personal friend of the Colonel, his admiration for the jester was very sincere, and his faith as to Excelsior's ability was the result of an idea that a horse bred in Kentucky, even though he was untrained, must, under any circumstances, win. Colonel Rice secured a first-class gooom, Jeff Posey, from Daniel Van Wonder, a butcher in Cincinnati, whose skill as a horseman was unsurpassed, but he gracefully shared the honors with Wilson Turner, who took his place when Posey eventually became manager of the stud. After coming in possession of Excelsior, Colonel Rice introduced the intelligent creature at once into the ring, and he responded so easily to the requirements imposed, that it can be truly stated, he was broken to his performing feats directly under the eye of the public. Excelsior died November 17, 1878, age twenty-eight years, at St. Louis, Mo. Three days before his death, Colonel Rice, who was compelled to come East to fill an important engagement, went to the stable of Jerry Arnot, in St. Louis, where Excelsior, who had been, ill for some time, was being faithfully looked after. Colonel Rice called him out of his stall in order to test his strength and discover if he could be safely removed to New York. Whining piteously, the thoroughbred staggered with weakness as he backed out towards his master and placed his head on his shoulder, shedding tears and quivering in a most pitiable way. Colonel Rice sought to console the sorrowing animal as he led him back in his stall, but to no avail. There were many prominent people present who had come to visit the sick horse, among whom were Superintendent Talmage, of the Union Pacific Railroad, and Mr. Chas Lucas, the millionaire merchant of St. Louis. All were visibly affected. His funeral, which was nearly a mile long, was one of the most remarkable tributes ever paid to one of his race, and still survives in the memories of thousands—an enduring monument to his popularity.—From "The Life of Dan Rice," by Marla Ward Brown. Everybody Swears By Him. "Who's the best known man in this township?" querled the advance agent for the medicine show. "Well, young feller," answered Uncle Silas Seaver slowly, as he carefully packed the tobacco in his black pipe, "Jake Seymour holds that record about now, by catin" the fust new potatoes from his own garden, tho' Hank Calkins is a close second with his new peas.

At the recent election in Aurora, Ill., the women were urged to form an "endless telephone chain," each woman pledging herself to call up five male voters every day and urge them to vote right. If it takes as long to get people on the telephone in Aurora as it often does in Massachusetts, the women could have voted themselves in half the time.—Springfield Republican.

A joy in the sandwich line is the brown bread sandwich, with a cream cheese filling, just tinged with garlic. The garlic must be the young and tender kind that is the bane of the delryman and can be found only in country meadows, and must be sparingly used at that or the appreciative guests will rue their feast—New York Tribune. Steak en Casserole. Trim fat from a thick beefsteak, place in a broad casserole or baking dish with two tablespoonfuls of butter and a sliced carrot, sliced onion and two bay leaves, and simmer in a hot oven till the vegetables are lightly browned. Now pour in a cupful or more of the beef stock from which the grease has been skimmed, cover the dish and bake for forty minutes. Now add a dozen potatoes, either bolled or browned, a dozen peeled, mushrooms if desired and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. At the end of another ten minutes in the oven this time with the dish uncovered sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve—New Haven Register. Chicken Cutlets. Half a pound of cooked chicken, two ounces of cooked ham or tongue, one hard-bolled egg, two raw eggs, one gill of white sauce, six small mushrooms, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Chop the chicken and ham or tongue finely, chop also the hard-bolled egg, and mushrooms rather coarsely, add seasoning of salt and pepper. Stir the mixture over the fire for a few minutes, then turn it on to a plate and let it cool. Have ready a deep frying pan of fat. When the mixture is cold divide it into even sized pieces; shape each into a neat cutlet. When all are shaped brush them over with well beaten egg and coat them with bread crumbs. When a blush smoke rises from the frying fat put in some of the cutlets and fry a golden color; Drain them well on white paper. Stick a piece of parsley stalk in the end of each cutlet and serve them on a lace paper.—New York Press. Maple Foundation. Put into a saucepan four cupfuls of brown sugar, two cupfuls of maple syrup, two cupfuls of hot water and a level teaspoonful of cream of tartar. Stir over a slow fire until thoroughly dissolved, but take care not to boll. As soon as it is dissolved wipe away the grains that appear around the edge of the pan with a damp cloth, taking care not to jar the pan or let any moisture from the slides fall back into it. Now push the pan over the fire and let it come to a quick boll. Cook until it makes a soft ball when dropped into cold water to test. Remove from the fire and cool very gradually in the pan in which it was cooked. Never try to hasten the cooling by setting the pan in the water. When cool, not cold, stir energetically until a thick, creamy, mass, then knead with the hands on a marble slab, the longer the better. When light and creamy put in an earthen dish and cover with a slightly dampened cloth until ready to use, which should not be under twenty-four hours at the least. Then flavor, shape and make what combinations with nuts you wish. If kept damp this fondant will keep for weeks. Avoid making any kind of fondant on damp days, as the sugar absorbs the moisture from the atmosphere and will not harden. If any fondant comes out grainy after being stirred, cover again with water, stir until thoroughly dissolved, put on the fire and cook again.—Washington Star. Hints For the Housekeeper Don't forget, fresh meat should be put in boiling water; salt meat into cold water. To insure salt being kept out of the paraffold mold never neglect to seal the crack with a strip of lawn dipped in melted butter. A few drops of grain alcohol will give a beautiful polish to tumbler, sherbet glasses or to any glass dishes. It should be added to the rinsing water. Carpets should be beaten on the wrong side first and then, more gently, on the right. Never put a carpet down on a damp floor, for this often results in the carpet becoming mildew. Turkey snews are exceedingly tough, but if removed from the drumsticks before cooking, the meat will be as good as that of the second joint, considered by some the best part of the fowl. Pistachio nuts blanched and shaved make a slightly and tasty addition to almost any salad and to many other dishes. They should be sprinkled over the salad after it is dressed or over the custard or cream when it is ready to serve. A bunch of herbs, the "bouquet garni" of French recipes, consists of a few sprigs of parsley, one sprig of thyme, one of marjoram, one stalk of celery, a small piece of cinnamon, a small blade of mace, and a pepper pod, tied together with a string.

SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1909 The democratic party is pledged to low tariff but the action of its representatives in Congress prove that high protection ideas lurk somewhere in that party. The white firemen on the Georgia road lost in their contention for the elimination of, Negro firemen. They not only lost, but were the cause of the colored firemen receiving more pay for services rendered. The stand taken by Abitrators Herbert and Barrow especially are to be commended. Major Cummings, attorney for the road, was sincere in his advocacy of the rights of the colored firemen. The white firemen being unable to get rid of the colored firemen by striking or through the board of arbitration, have induced certain representatives in the legislature to introduce a bill calling for the examination of all firemen thus expecting to eliminate the colored ones. Should this bill become a law and is administered justly the colored firemen will have no cause to fear, for they are as able to hold their own as the whites. Of course the spirit of the move is to eliminate him, that's all. Wright Has Lost Again. Over a year ago Prof. R. R. Wright sued us for $5,000 damages for alleged libel and not satisfied with that also charged us with criminal libel. Both cases were considered on their merits. The damage case was won by us, the jury being out only a few minutes. The criminal case was thrown out by the Grand Jury as being without merit. Not being satisfied with these defeats the professor took the damage suit case to the Court of Appeals. It has been pending there for the past four months. On Monday this tribunal rendered a unanimous decision justifying us in all our action. Now, will the professor be good? As to Dr. Turner Kindly allow us a few words in your columns to reply to an article which appeared in your paper of the 5th inst., under caption; "every elected representative of Columbus lodges endorse Dr. Turner." We wish to say that this statement is erroneous, 1st. because some of the legally elected representatives who names are insigned are entirely ignorant of such an article; secondly, because Sir Chas. Oliver whose name appears as the "legally elected" representative of King Solomon Lodge No. 16 was defeated by Sir Albert Lockette at the regular election. We have spoken to several of the representatives who names appear attached to this article and they emphatically deny any knowledge of the same, hence we feel safe in denouncing the article as a little careless handling of the truth. From all appearances the article was written by some one or two parties and the other names forged. The article "condemns the unbotherly and unwarranted attack upon our brother and citizen." Who is he that cannot be attacked as any one else in office? Has not Sir Creswill been attacked, also Sirs Hutto, Warren, in fact every officer who has ever been elected? Did not Dr. Turner attack his predecessor when he turned his job? Was his attack warranted? Did he stop to think that it was unbotherly to fight for his brother's office? We pause for the "good citizens" and his friends to reflect back three years before they answer. The article continues; "we further denounce as false the unbotherly writing of the Countryman in the Atlanta Independent, and we use this means to let the Pythians of Georgia know that we mean to stand by him at Thomasville." Replying to the above paragraph, would say that if stating, conditions as they really are is falsifying, then the writings of the Countryman are false, for he certainly painted a true picture, only he did not make it as black as it really is and these "legally elected representatives" know it. And they mean to stand by him at Thomasville: well everybody to his own liking, but we hope that they will not fare as some have stood by him, in front and behind him, and in fact, put him into office, for, like the cow which gave the good pull of milk, no sooner was he in charge than out of the pie, then he forgot those who put him there, and well the Countryman has told you. Continuing the article says: "We want the Pythians of Georgia to know that we are proud of the record made by Dr. Turner. Surely these "legally elected representatives" do not know much of the record of which they are so proud Just for the benefit of the Pythians of Georgia, allowus to throw the "finnest" bit of light on this record: A certain man goes to this "good brother and citizen" to be examined, he was personally acquainted with the man and knew that he could not pass, yet he examines him, accepts his dollar and sends him on to his lodge with the blank. When the blank comes back to him as G. M. ```markdown ``` Mrs. R. L. BARNES. Leading Calanthe and Ruth. She holds the confidence, love and respect of the members of each of the institutions which she has been the leader for years and will be unanimously re-elected to her positions in July and August. R, he turn it down but keeps the dollar. How's that for a good brother and citizen? There are three other colored doctors inOLUMBUS, all of whom (unlike him) spent for long years in an acknowledged medical school, and afterwards posted at some recognized hospital, and they have examined men and said they were O K and yet when the blanks would go to the G.M. R, he would send them back to the other doctor for the dollar, so he (the G.M. R.) could examine and applicant, and get said dollar, and if they did not let him examine them, they did not get into the Pythians, consequently good men have been kept out because of the dollar to give them a gift to let them in. How's that for a watchman over the gate of the old r and yet they are proud of his record. A dollar is but a dollar and if a good man is kept out for a dollar it looks to reason that a bad one can get in for the same price. Reasons like these are the grounds upon which the other doctors, along with other good citizens of Columbus oppose him as the Countryman says. Pretty good grounds eh? If one of the other doctors had been in his place and he in theirs, and he received the treatment from them that he is measuring out to them, he would have had circulars all over the St. John and the Supreme Officers would have been informed longere this "Silver" routine would have been going like that, and the personal grievances" as a reason why some in Columbus oppose him. Well if he as conduits himself as to allow these "personal grievances" to come in, then that is his misfortune, for a vote of one with a "personal grievance" will count as much as a vote of one of the "legally elected representatives." It is well to note that the good and popular doctor, of whom it is said, writes nice things about his popularity, his standing and what the people think of him; signs his friends' names to the article and pays no or same. In the race for representative in his own fodge, viz. GUO of OF (F) in three years his own award four. Bro. Will Patterson was elected. Flow is this for standing and popularity. Yours for good and clean men in office. C. S Swan, M. D. L. Taylor, M D, P. C. Sir Chas. Oliver Replys to Dr. Swan and Taylor Says he is a legal representative, because Albert Locket was convicted of misdemeanor. Says that everybody in Georgia and Alabama knows of his moral character and he does not live in a glass house. Refers to Dr. Taylor as "poor fellow" says Dr. Taylor will have to take up his bed and walk, or stop hoking a little "peanut" doctor. Oliver offers reward. Dear Mr. Editor: I read an article in your last issue an attack made on me by Dr. C S Swan and Dr. M. L. Taylor in which they said that I was not the grand representative of King Solomon Lodge No. 16, K of P, this is true in one sense, but not in another. I was defeated as he says by A L Lockett but he did not say that I was elected alternate. I don't think any, sage man would try to make public lodge business as he has done, and I shall not, attempt to do so, but I am forced to say that I have been declared the legal representative by the C. G. Swan of the lodge of Albert Lockett, which every citizen of the city of Columbus or good character except Dr. Swan would confirm. I feel much aggrieved to be placed in a position where I have to explain lodge matters to the public of which they have nothing to do with, but suffice it to say that a good moral citizen and lodge member ought to have respect enough for his lodge if he has not the respect for personal aggrandement to try to expose his lodge business, in which he took an active part as teller taken the advantage of the other candidates and counted his man Friday as legally elected, and now since he has heard that this associate of his, whom he elected by suffling the ballot box has been declared not the right kind of a man to represent the lodge on account of circumstances, he (Dr. Swan), take this method of trying to defame my, good name. Dr. Swan ought to learn that a man in a glass house should not throw stones. Everybody in this city as well as throughout Georgia and Alabama know my good moral character and know that I will not resort to dirty things as this man, Swan has done. I do not want to be personal nor resort to mud slinging, but if I have it to do I want to put him on notice that I have authority to sling, as for I do Taylor poor fellow, am only to have and have nothing to ask. He had better lookout for himself instead of combining against, and trying to help slander a man whom, he knows nothing of, a man who is in the position to put dollars in his pocket, but he will find are long that he has made a vast mistake and will evictually have to take up his bed and walk just as others have done. If any man would find their neighbors faults first cast nine eyes upon their own faults. Dr. Taylor if you want friends you must change your tactics and get among men who are gentlemen and have some regard for the truth. You must stop boot-licking a little petty peanut doctor who thinks that he ought to be the great I am. I will give Dr. Swan a suitable reward for every one of those grand representatives who will make alludivit that they did not sign the article endorsing Dr. Turner themselves and on their own free will. It looks to me that those gentlemen have little respect for the truth and facts knowing as they did that they cannot produce one of these men who has told them that they did not have any knowledge of the article it is up to your gentlemen to produce your man and get the reward. There is not a word of truth, in what Dr. Swan has said and he is more to be oitted than censured. CHAS. W. OLIVER, Grand Representative King Solomon Lodge No. 16, K. of P., and Chairman of Past Chancellors Meeting of Columbus) F. B. B. Church.

The man or woman in middle life who has not paid much attention to the modern theories of education is constantly struck by the fact of the comparative backwardness in many ways of the children of the present day as compared with children forty or fifty years ago. One constantly hears the remark, 'Why, I could read as well as I do now long before I was the age of that child,' and the present writer can well remember more than one family in which it was one of the traditions, cherished through the generations, that the boys should start their Greek by the fifth year. The persons who deplore this changed condition of things are apt to blame the kindergarten system for it, while those who hall it as a change for the better prophesy that it will grow rather than lessen. It is, on the whole, and within reasonable limits, undoubtedly for the better, and is a direct result of the increased interest in hygienics generally, and above all in the psychology of childhood as affecting physical welfare. The unusual child, the child with the phenomenal brain, backed by the fine physique, will forget ahead in spite of everything, and there need be no fear for him, as there might well have been in the old days of ruthless forcing. People, nowadays are skeptical of the infant prodigies, and it is well that they should be. In the case of the average child of fair heredity and intelligence, it is vastly in his favor that he should be recognized for the small animal he is meant to be. Young children are not fitted to spend long hours of confinement in schoolrooms. Their brains are not yet ready for much application, either in quantity or quality. Their little growing bodies need the open air and the incessant muscular activity that characterizes all natural children. As a matter of economics, it has been proved again and again that the child who has been judiciously held back in early life will be found easily to catch up with the child who has been forced forward, while he has a tremendous advantage in stored-up health and vigor. This is not a plea for a starvation diety for any active brain or inquiring mind; education for children so equipped is in the very atmosphere, and will not be escaped. It is rather a protest against a school life begun too early; against confinement in schoolrooms for long sessions, against any system of education that asks little children of five or six years of age to sit still, or to pay attention, or to understand for more than a few minutes at a time.—Youth's Companion. WORDS OF WISDOM. It sometimes happens that a girl loses her best friend by marrying him. Charity covers a multitude of sins that might better be left exposed. When a fellow is in a hole, don't rub it in by looking down on him. And man can have an appreciative audience by merely talking to himself. Even the undertaker rejoices in the fact that their fools are not all dead yet. We speak of a fellow as a coming man when he really makes a go of it. A man doesn't have to be a contortionist to pat himself on the back. No man's credit is so bad that he can't borrow trouble. Nothing is so universally imitated as success. Only a fool will strive for success by the skyrocket route. Two heads are better than one except in the matter of keeping a secret. Any fellow who has tried it will tell you that it's no lark to be a jail bird. The youth with narrow shoulders might dress in broadcloth. It is perhaps better to give yourself away than to be sold. Many a fellow puts up a bold front with nothing; more than a fancy waistcoat. It seems quite natural that a pull will get a man to the top quicker than a phish. Have you ever noticed that all the men who go to rest cures are married men?—From: "Musings of the Gentle Cynic," in the New York Times. Listener Overhears Something. By. HQRACE, DQDD. GASTTT. The lecture was over, and the gentleman who did the talking strained his ears as he followed the audience out of the hall to gather in, so far as he could, what sort of an impression he had made. As he drew near to the doorway two old gentlemen who were making their way out just ahead of him rendered a verdict. "Well, Bankside," said one of them, "what did you think of it?" "I've heard worse," said Bankside. "Did you think it was at all illuminating?" asked the other. "Iran old fashioned way, yes," replied the venerable Bankside. I don't quite catch your point," says the questioner. "Who it was illuminating, but if struck me as having more gas than electricity about it," explained the critic.—From Judge. MRS. EDDY'S HOME OLD GOLD AND MAHOGANY. She Goes Out Driving and Shows Agility and Strength--Her Own Portraits the Best. A reporter was received recently in the home of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, in Newton, Mass. He was the first person other than a Christian Scientist who has had the privilege of examining the home of the founder and leader of the Christian Science movement. Escorted by her mald, Mrs. Eddy entered her carriage soon after 1 o'clock and seemed to have extraordinary agility and strength. Next July she will be eighty-eight. Comfort rather than splendor has been the aim in furnishing Mrs. Eddy's home, and the decorators had in mind simplicity, rather than ornate display. Entering, from the main portico, a small anteroom is encountered. Along the left side there is a mahogany settee and in the rear of the heavy white doors of the main entrance. These doors open into the main hall, which runs the width of the house and opens upon a veranda in the rear, whence a magnificent view of Brookline, the Newtons and beyond is obtained. This hall, as well as the straight stairway and the main hall above, is carpeted in a rich, dark red and simply furnished with a few mahogany pieces. The tapestry paper on the walls is of a warm, red tone. Opening on the left, immediately beyond the main entrance, is the large drawing room. The furniture is old gold and mahogany, and the decorations are all in a general color scheme of tea rose. The soft, silky carpet and the wall tapestries are in this tone and afford a perfect setting for one of the most precious of Mrs. Eddy's many prized possessions. This is a rug made of the backs of thirty-six elder duck skins, and it is usually displayed over the back of a small couch placed between the windows of the left side. A handsome Louis Qulnze centre table, in gold and onyx, is one of the pieces typical of the furnishings. This large drawing room opens into the small drawing room. To the right of the connecting doorway is a splendid portrait of the Christ in tapestry, with a suitable inscription embroidered above. Some of the best pictures are those in the main hall. Three of these are striking oil paintings of the founder and leader of the Christian Science movement, covering several years of her life. One of the best is a canvas four feet in length, standing against the wall near the centre of the left side, depicting Mrs. Eddy-as she appeared about twenty-five years ago. Mrs. Eddy's apartments open from the upper hall and are also directly connected with the lower floor by an elevator, which debouches near the carriage entrance door. This suite comprises a bedroom, bath and study. A system of bells connects her apartments with the rest.of the house. A side hall opens from the main hall on the right opposite Mrs. Eddy's private suite, and from the left of this hall opens Mr. Frye's apartments. They are furnished with mahogany, and comprise a study and office, a bedroom and a bathroom.—New York Press. A recent traveler in Central Africa describes an interesting use of the soil of ant hills. It appears that it makes excellent bricks, of which houses are built. The natives tread it with water into a dough-like substance, which is shaped in rough wooden moulds. It is then dried in the sun, and afterward baked in native kilns. The same substance is found to make excellent tennis courts. It is mixed with water into a thick paste, spread on the ground and smoothed over with the hands. The same traveler tells us how the natives in the neighborhood of Lake Nyassa esteem a species of fly as an excellent article of diet. It is known as the "kungo," and appears to be peculiar to the lake. At certain seasons of the year they appear in enormous numbers and are sometimes blown in myriads over the land. If this happens near a village the natives come out eagerly to gather them up. They make them into what they consider a delicious confection.—London Globe. Our Flag at Monrovia. The appearance of the United States flag, borne by a small cruiser of the United States Navy, is said to have been hailed with rapturous delight this week by the populace of the Liberian capital. The circumstance is gratifying as an assurance of the sentiments with which that flag is regarded and of the esteem in which the United States is held by a distant people who have too often had little cause for thinking of us at all. Doubtless it is to be interpreted chiefly as a tribute to the known power of this country and to the efficiency of its active interest wherever it may be manifested in the affairs of the world, rather than as a very direct token of gratitude or affection. Liberians know that the United States flag stands for something definite and beneficent and that the ship which bears it is an earnest of a fleet competent to command for the flag abundant respect in any quarter of the globe.—New York Tribune. The State of Guanajuato, Mexico, has produced silver worth $510,000, 000 Mexican during the last 850 years. 1 FASHIONS OF THE DAY New York City.—There is a dalnti-ness and a charm about the lingerie bonnet that means an essentially SUN HAT feminine effect and which renders it much to be desired. The two models M illustrated are charming in distinctly different ways and consequently are adapted to different needs. In the illustration the Corday bonnet is made of white lawn with frill of embroidery and band of ribbon, while the close fitting bonnet is made of Dresden dimity with ribbon trimming, but both can be varied in a number of ways. All-over embroidery, lace and embroidered net are all used for the Corday bonnet, while for the close fitting one any pretty summer material is appropriate. The Corday bonnet consists of the crown, the band and the full fringe which serves as a finish. The close fitting bonnet is made with crown and brim and the crown is shirred and arranged over the edge of the brim to which it is attached. Ribbon rosettes and strings make the finish. Fruits Popular. Fruits are becoming as popular as flowers, and the vogue of the grape is noticeable also. Fabrics Allike on Both Sides. There is a silk and wool Ottoman out of which dressmakers and tailors will make separate long coats to be worn over one-piece frocks. If. is woven exactly allike on both sides, so that it will not need a lining. Traupe or Bronze. The newest shade of taupe is likened to dull-bronze. It is certainly very beautiful and never falls to make up richly. "Leg O'Mutton!" Dress Sleeves. The "leg o'mutton" sleeve, or the one that is slightly full at the shoulder and close fitting at the wrist, is the very latest thing that has appeared, and these models will be found equally well adapted to new material and to the remaking of gowns which already have seen service. As the warm weather approaches three-quarter sleeves are much in demand and will be extensively worn, and that length, as well as the full-one, is provided. The box pleated sleeves are somewhat fancy in effect, and fancy sleeves are being much used just now, but the plain ones are always in good style and always correct. Both models are adapted to all seasonable materials. In the illustration the box pleated sleeve is trimmed with fancy and plain banding and the plain sleeve is embroidered and trimmed with lace insertion and edging. Both the box pleated and the plain sleeve are cut in one piece each, and are gathered at their upper edges. They can be made pointed-or-plain when cut in full length and can be trimmed in any way which may suit the fancy. The quantity of material required for either sleeve is one and one-half yards twenty-one, twenty-four or thirty-two or three-fourth yard forty-four inches wide with three-fourth yard of banding one and three-fourth inches wide, one and one-half yards three-eighth inch wide for the box A pleated sleeves; one and one-fourth yards of insertion, two and one-fourth yards of edging for the plain sleeves. --- Plumes on Hais. It is a singular fact that ostrich plumes are much more in evidence this season than they were in the past season. In the majority of cases a single graceful plume forms the entire trimming of a hat. Chiffon Tucking. Chiffon tucking, embroidery, lace all these are seen on a single foulard gown, which is consequently quite ornate. Good Roads - New Traffic Requirements. Automobiles have hitherto been taxed without ascertaining, either precisely or approximately, the damage they do to the roads. The Hamn Motor Car bill, just passed by the LegisInture, copies other State enactments in charging registration fees according to the weight of the machine, the fees to be put into the fund for maintaining the State roads. The roads have not yet been adapted to meet the new traffic requirements. In this negligence by the taxing authority there is not only injustice but bad business. As a remedy the American Automobile Association, co-operating with the United States Office of Public Roads, will hold a series of tests that will fulfill the conditions of traffic on level macadam and uphIH with cars of varying weights, running at different speeds, and fitted with different kinds of tires. The tests will be repeated over a road especially suited to resist the wear of the machines. When completed they will afford an accurate measure of the harm automobiles may do that cannot be guarded against, and will so furnish an adequate basis for taxation. The Governors of the States, a good many of whom attended the National Good Roads Congress at Chicago and Denver last summer, and the second Congress at John Hopkins and at Washington in May, 1909, will doubtless find these tests of value. They have begun to act harmoniously and with intelligence in recommending laws to their respective Legislatures. When these Legislatures shall act together to provide proper surfacings for the automobile a new step in civilization will have been taken. The Nation will then be speedily equipped with dustless roads,—Editorial in the New York Times. Molasses and Good Roads. The New York Sun has recently been discussing the good roads question, and referred to the vast amount of slag turned out by the blast furnaces of the United States, estimating the quantity at twenty millions of tons per annum. This slag can, of course, be used for macadamizing, but it seems to need some binder to unite the mass together, and the use of tar, fuel oil, or molasses, as the binding medium, has been suggested. The fact that the food value of molasses has now become so thoroughly appreciated in the United States, and that hundreds of manufacturers are making combined foods in which molasses is a large or the chief constituent, will eliminate molasses, as such, from any good roads improvement scheme. All of the molasses in the country, even if we made ten times the crop that we now make, could be better utilized in stock feeding than in good roads building, when we have so much other material with which to build good roads.—Louisiana Sugar Planter. Educating the People. It is now a dozen years since the good roads campaign was begun; perhaps in no other particular has our country been so far behind the rest of the civilized world as in the matter of highways, especially in the country districts. The only sure way to insure success is in educating the mass of the people, and this may be said now to have been accomplished, since the farmer is as fully awake to the necessity of good roads as the city dweller, and the question of expense has now become the most important one.—Boston Globe. Encouraging Sign. It is an encouraging sign when the good roads problem becomes the object of a national congress. It is evidence of the awakening of popular sentiment, which is the lever that moves the public machinery in enlightened countries.—Pittsburg Dispatch. Turks as Fighting Men. The Turkish soldier ranks at the top with "the first-class fighting men" of the world. He is brave to the last degree and when led by good officers is a foeman worthy of any warrior's steel. The failures of the Turks in their wars with Russia have been due, it is said, more to the avarice and lack of integrity of their generals than to the superior courage and resolution of Russian soldiers. If the Young Turks establish an honest and efficient government and introduce reforms in the Turkish army, which they are pledged to carry into effect, the reorganized military forces of the Ottoman Empire will be a factor to be reckoned with in the final adjustment of the Balkan question. An army of 600,000 disciplined, Turks, with modern rifles and artillery, and with abundant food supplies, would command respect in quarters in which Turkey is now held in small Jesteem.—Baltimore Sun. Should Be Exceptions. "Do you think all luxuries should be taxed?" "I do, most emphatically. Don't you?" "No, sir, I do not. It would work a great hardship on a good many poor men if all luxuries were to be taxed." "I can't see how you make it out." "Well, take my own case, for instance. Our first baby, yes, and I may say our second, were necessities, but the other five are luxuries. You can see for yourself how the rule would work out."—Chicago Record-Herald.

Miss Helen Fraser is the first woman suffragist to make her appearance in Thrums, the small Scottish town endeared to Americans by J. M. Barrie. According to the Scottish newspapers Miss Fraser was greeted by a large and enthusiastic audience when she made her appearance in the public hall. As might have been expected, she was assailed with Scriptural texts. She is reported to have made a good impression.—New York Sun. In the Interest of Good Eres. A noted oculist advises against using the eyes immediately after waking; therefore the habit of many young girls of reading or studying in bed is injurious. It is harmful to use the eyes when sleepy, as it is a great strain upon the muscles. If one must read or write when drowsy, rise occasionally and bathe the eyes with hot or cold water. Remember that a quick change from a dark room to a brilliant light is a strain upon the eyes.—New York Press. Persians Give Jewels. The suffragett papers of London report that the Persian women have agreed to give their jewels and other ornaments to provide capital to establish a national bank. Some of them are writing for the native newspapers, which have rapidly increased in number and circulation, there now being twenty-five as compared with four published two years ago. According to the twenty-five Persian newspapers the women of that country are working as zealously as the men and are willing to run any risk for the sake of maintaining the constitution.—New York Sun.

Society in several cities is gossiping because a certain young woman wears crumpled frocks when she goes to a dance. Certainly she might get her maid to iron the gowns and to put in fresh lace and frills. Her hostesses act as if she had broken a vital commandment. The untidy, ill gown girl has little show socially, even were she the reincarnation of George Sand for intellect and the Venus of Millo in physical charms. The commonplace girl with well made gowns and tact has a better show for a good time than the daughter of a billionaire, if that counterfeit golden girl wears dowdy clothes and has bad manners.—New York Press. Saint Joan's Armor. Admirers of the Maid of Orleans will be pleased to learn that her armor is still in existence and can be seen in the museum of the Chateau de la Tour de Pinion in Aligne. It is said that there is no doubt of its authenticity. The museum was founded in 1830 by the Marquis de Courval, and to-day the chateau is the property of his daughter, the Princess of Polix. The armor, which was believed to have been lost, was found about twelve years ago. The cuirass differs from similar pieces of the same period and indicates that it was made by a woman. The other portions (all are in polished steel) resemble those of the Middle Ages which are shown in the works of Eugene Emmanuel Violet-le-Duc, the celebrated architect and archaeologist, who will still be remembered by many years.-London Globe. --- S Swedish Minister's Wife. Mme. Lagercantz, wife of the Swedish Minister, has been entertaining Washington (D. C.) society after the way which holds in old Scandinavia. She is a delightful addition to the capital's social ranks, say women who ought to know what constitutes that mysterious thing "a delightful social addition." She is the daughter of Senator Croneberg, prominent in recent Swedish statesmanship. She has brought all her furnishings from Stockholm and the Legation is one of the best equipped in Washington. Mme. Lagercantz gives receptions after the European fashion. She has tea and light refreshments for the guests and chats gaily. Below stairs guests may play cards if they wish, though the Swedish Minister is an intensely solemn and non-card-playing person. In another room you may have music, and also refreshments that don't go in by the way of your ears.—New York Press. Don't Need a Fortune. The well dressed woman is not the one who spends the most on her clothes, but she who knows her own type. There is a great art in only wearing what is becoming. This is the secret of many a woman's beauty, as well as her reputation for smart dressing. The woman who studies her type knows better than to follow fashion slavishly. Not long ago a mother and daughter were at the same dinner. The former is a noted beauty, while of the daughter is usually heard, "What a pity she did not inherit her mother's looks!" On this occasion the woman had made herself almost ugly by her adoption of the latest culture and inartistic use of the rouge brush; while the girl, who was clever enough to dress to her type, seemed a beauty despite irregular features. Remember that clothes count quite as much as features and coloring in making a beautiful woman, and she who does not choose clothes to suit her special style will fall short of her full measure of good looks. Thus a girl with a pliant face, and bright, young expression may venture to wear a sailor hat and Peter Pan collar though far past school girl age; but a woman of rugged features and sallow colorings will look ridiculous in this distinctly youthful dress. For a woman with a receding chin and dull, small eyes it is folly to adopt a severely simple style of dress in hope to be thought intellectual. What she needs is fluffiness, something to soften her face and conceal her defects. To brush the hair back plainly and wear mannish collars only makes her look ugly, not clever. Another type which should affect extreme simplicity of dressing is the girl with naturally high coloring, bright yellow or certain tints of red hair, or with that somewhat unusual combination brown eyes and dark lashes with golden hair. Conspicuous clothes while they may not, be unbe- coming, will ruin her look of refinement.—New Haven Register. The newest parasols feature the button holed edge. The fashionable seal contains but a single letter. The collarless gown is gaining a great popularity. Many of the fashionable long jack- ets have pockets. The smartest stockings are¹ embroidered in self tones. It seems probable that the taste for soutache braid is to live for a long while yet. Daggers of tortoise shell, studded with diamonds, are among the most popular hair ornaments. The gored skirt with pleats let into the side seams is one of the popular models at present. Do you use the tatting shuttle? Tatting, made of coarse thread is fashionable for making neckwear. The new bang is rounded, and then made into soft, loose little curls that are just visible under the drooping hat brim. The craze for metallic effects was in the height of fashion all winter and it looks as though it would hold good all summer. Foremost among bags is the bronze bag, which comes in logically enough with the craze for bronze shoes and bronze belts. One sees so many contrasts that a word of warning appears necessary to the average woman who, regardless of its fittingness, would don the seductive Corday in lace and flowers. While many of the coats hanging in points over each hip are picturesque, it must be borne in mind by the woman with widehips that this particular cut should be eschewed. There is such a contrast between the youthful drooping frills of white lace and flowers and the time or.grief worn face that common sense alone, it would seem, would forbid its use by certain women. One coat, rather Joose, with three-quarter or seven-eighth length sleeves is swagger on a thin woman, and if it have the front and back of the skirt coming down in blunt points it looks well. A hat that is especially suited to a pretty and picturesque young woman and that is extremely trying to one no longer young, is the Charlotte Corday in lace and lingere models, especially if decked out in flowers.

Dear Sir:—Nothing gives me greater pleasure than when I am singing the pleasure of being alone. I could doubt one of the best skin preparations ever offered the suffering ones. Some ten years ago no moral could have been more important than myself. I had tried every remedy, blood purifier, skin salve, yet I seemed worse, until I was one mass of itching and itching. I was a Tetzer who wrote telling her condition and what Tetterin had done for her; her case was so much like mine that he could that I receive so great a benefit it might help me. After two or three applications I saw my sudden change in amusement so that I am in case being so bad it took a lot of it. I have never known it to fall to cure every day, but I have seen one suffering with Tetter, Ringworms and Eczema, etc., that if it is used properly and fails to cure, I will refund it. Whenever I see any one suffering from Tetter, Ringworm, etc., I prevail on them to get a box, stating that I have suffered from their money back. I have had the pleasure of curing many with it.

INTOLERABLE ITCHING. Fearful Eczema All Over Baby's Face "Failed —A. Kregel, Gerald J. Carr, Jr." "When my little girl was six months old, I noticed small red spots on her right cheek. They grew so large that I sent for the doctor but, instead of helping the eruption, his ointment seemed to make it worse. Then I went to a second doctor who said it was eczema. He also gave me an ointment which did not help either. The disease spread all over the face and the eye began to swell. The itching grew intolerable and it was a terrible sight to see. I consulted doctors for months, but they from £20 to £30 wore the baby. I paid out from £20 to £30 when I began. I began to use the Cuticura Remedies. The next morning the baby's face was all white instead of red. I continued until the eczema entirely disappeared. Mrs. P. E. Gumbin, Sheldon, July, 13, 1803." Potter Drug & Chem. Corp, Sole Props, of Cuticura Remedies, Boston, Mass. An old inmate of an almshouse in New York, age eighty-six, who had never in the course of her life seen an automobile before, fell in a dead faint in the street when one whizzed by her, with the horn tooting. When she recovered she told the doctor who had attended her that she had been in hell and had seen satan. Some of the victims of the speed maniacs would not quarrel with her diagnosis of the situation. A househouse once supplied with Hamilms Wizard Oil is seldom allowed to be without it.

Leake, of Orlanda, Fla., who was cured of a very bad case, writes: "Hancock's Sulphur Compound is the most wonderful remedy for Eczema I have ever known."

A bad back makes every day a dull-round of pain and misery. It's a sign which the kidneys are sick and cannot keep up their never-ending task of filtering the blood. Lame back, backache, dizzy spells and urinary disorders are warn- ings that must not be overlooked. D.

Lame back, backache, dizzy spells and urinary disorders are warnings that must 'not be overlooked. D. W.

Any bookseller will tell you that the constant quest of his customers is for "a book which will make me laugh." The bookman is compelled to reply that the race of American humorists has run out and comic literature is scarcer than funny plays. A wide sale is therefore predicted for the "Memoirs of Dan Rice," the Clown of Our Daddies, written by Marla Ward Warden, a book guaranteed to make you roar with laughter. The author presents to the public a volume of the great jester's most pungent jokes, comic harangues, caustic hits upon men and manners, lectures, anecdotes, sketches of adventure, original songs and poetical effusions; wise and witty, serious, satirical, and sentimental sayings of the sawdust arena of other days. These "Memoirs" also contain a series of adventures and incidents alternating from grave to gay; descriptive scenes and thrilling events; the record of half a century of a remarkable life, in the course of which the subject was brought into contact with most of the national celebrities of the day. The book abounds in anecdotes, humorous and otherwise; and it affords a clearer view of the inside mysteries of show life than any account heretofore published. Old Dan Rice, as the proprietor of the famous "One Horse Show," was more of a national character than Artemus Ward, and this volume contains the humor which made the nation laugh even while the great Civil War raged.

Antagonism and contentions for supremacy must need arise among the brethren, be- cause of the varying opinions of men, fruit of natural causes. But as con: tests settle into victory or defeat, and as the clatter and rattle of the har- ness of war subside, there should Joom up before the gaze of every true Knight, the spirit of fraternal- ism, upon whose staff perches the white-winged “dove of. peace.” + Regardless of the heat of the con- test, regardless of the differences’ of opinion as relates to this or to that Sir Knight, the memory of the glo- ‘rious event that, underlies the foun- dation cf our great fraternity, should erase from our minds every scintilla of: belligerence and make more per- manent the union that Is the bedrock of our creation. Among men who think, differences must arise. These differences, and the contests which precede their settlement, bring, far more often, good, than bad results. By them men are made to consider themselves, to review their sown works and ponder upon the breadth of their beneficence or the depth of thelr malevolence, A review of both phases of the situation brings us¢ful informatiton to the rank and file and enlightens their minds, upen needed reforms, or upon the wisdom of a ‘continuation of present methods. But, possibly more significant than all ‘cf these is the fact that conten. tions and the declarations incident to their settlement, reveal facts which, otherwise, would only be known by a few, which facts, though they be within the purview of the law, should ve thorougly understocd by the rank and file of the order. : T read in the Georgia Baptist, for instAnce, an article from the pen of B. W, Warren, stating that from last July bp to now, he had changed, ac- coiding to the order of the Grand Ledge, ten thousand policies, there veing a total of sixteen thousand pol ices at,first that hag to be changed Now, those who read can see that on: ly six thousand of the policies remain unchahged. These facts come out as the result of contest and will prove beneficial to thousands of the mem bers of the fraternity who would not have been placed in position to Know them. Where does the beneft of +SIr Warren's declatation come in? Let us see. There are others who aspire for the position that he is ‘holding There are many iho are in sympathy with these asplrants whe are not familiar with the work, and, who, probably have not thought of the scope and weight of the work. The declaration of Sir Warren will en lighten these so that whether they yote for or against him, they may .be able to vote intelligently so far -as jhis particular office “is concerned. Chancellors, without the least pro- test endorsed him for reelection at Thomasville. He has practiced phar- macy and medicine in’ Columbus for the‘past ten years and has conducted himself as a physician and pythian. He was elected a delegate at Au- gusta last May to represent the Geor- gia State Assoclation of Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists at the Na- tiouat Medical Association, which con- yenes at Bosten, Mass, in August, 1909, which is an. evidence of his standing as a physician and a gvar- antee to the Prthians of Georgia that they have a safe and conservative medical officer at the head of their Medical denartment_ As it fs with Sir Warren so it is with all of the officers and offices. A ‘vast majority of those whose votes give power afd prerogatives to rep. tesentatives, is not at all familiar with the conditions which obtain, and know not upoh what to instrust their delegates. These contests, if they carry with them banes, blessings hov- er over, and when the banes are slain ava buried by the sword and stave }of éommon sense and wholesome, leg: islation, the blessings swoop ‘Ton and hallow to the soul of each con- testant, the glorious result.

Hence, retrogression and decadence must be the ultimate ‘end of his realm and impotency, [death or dethronement his doom.

In our everyday life let us act like Masons and not alone in our ledges act according to its teachings, The Grand Secretary will soon Is- sue his Sécond Quarterly Suspension ‘List. Information for this list must be in the Grand Secretary's office be- fore June 30th. |, °This must be a year of work among officers and members.

The increase must be in membership, In finance, in har- mony, in brotherly love, in the ecqulr- ing of property, in inculcating more of the teachings of the order, and es- pecially to live as model citizens in our respective: localities. The Grand Chapter Order of the |Eastern Star will meet in Quitman Tuesday, August 17th. The past record of Masonry is fill- ed ‘with glorious achievements, ibut Masonry cannot exist upon the glor- fes of the past, and although we may .turn with pride to the splendid rec- ‘ord of the past, and gain inspiration by recounting the deeds of those val- jant spirits that have gone before, yet qur responsibility in this age of enlightenment is more than ‘our fa- thers’ because our light is more.

I see that its teachings are making -men loyal citizens and true to the issues that come before them—Rev. Edward A. Horton, Massachusetts. It ts one of the glories of Masonry that its work Is done without osten- tation or display, that it does not ad- vertise its good deeds. That it lifts up and élevates and upbuilds without boasting of its work, As in the build- ing of the temple there was not heard the sound of hammer or any tool of fron, so in Masonic cireles the fabric of good citizenship is built up without boasting or self-praise—Edward C. Stokes, of New Jersey. Possession of Masonic virtues is one thing, profession of them quite another. Possesion fakes a Mason, profession makes a hypocrite. Pos- session {s sincerity, profession is just the oppostte—insincerity. A possess- ing Mason is a most loyal character, one of nature’s noblemen, the noblest of God—an honest man; a professing Mason is a despicable character, un- worthy the name of a Mason, a blot and,a blur upon human nature. A pos- sessing Mason has a heart of sym- pathy as big as “all outdoors;” a mere professing Mason has a stony growth where his heart should be, de- void of feeling and insensible to brotherly love—Harlem Argus.
