VOLUME XXX LEADING PUPILS DURING YEAR IN PUBLIC SCHODLS LEADING PUPILS DURING YEAR IN PUBLIC SCHODLS MANY CHILDREN MAKE EXCEL LENT MARKS. First.Six In Grades Much Interest Manifested in Reports Of First Six Pupils Each Month as Published in the Tribune—Schools All crowded at Close of Year The publication today of the first six pupils in every grade of the public school system of the city ends the monthly reports which The Tribune has printed each month during the past school year. These reports have proved of unusual interest to both parents and students and have served to bring before the public in a very impressive manner, the pupils who have led their classes during the entire year which closed last Friday. Many pupils have wrought well in their studies and as a result their names have appeared in the published report each month while others have not been quite so fortunate. It is the consensus of opinion among the teachers that these monthly publications of the leaders in various classes have been instrumental in urging the pupils in general to greater effort in their studies and have also caused many parents who were a little indifferent as to the good records their children were making in school to become appreciative of their excellent class room marks. The report published today is the yearly average of the six highest pupils. It is the sum total of the year's work. The schools were all crowded to their utmost capacity up to the time of closing. In some of the lower grades as many as three children were forced to occupy seats which should have accommodated but two. There were ninety-five graduates from the system this year. The following is the yearly standing of the first six pupils in each grade: West Broad Street School Sixth grade—Mary Smith 90; Addie Jenkins 86; Lyda Arnold 86; Waltena Brown 85; Glenn Stokes 85; Elmore Bonner 83; Diana Smalls 83.

Secretary Rankin is not alone sitting in his office looking after the money collected and paying it out according to the order of the board and general church, but he is looking into every detail of his church work. He has visited many of the mission points in foreign lands including a trip to Afrika, and the Islands. He last visit was to the Jamaica, returning with new churches and ministers. The following members of the board were present: Bishop Charles Smith, Detroit, Mich.; Bishop John Hurst, Baltimore, Md.; Rews. A. L. Murray, Jersey, City, N. J.; S. S. Morris, Richmond, Va.; C. S. Williams, Cincinnati, O.; N. J. McCracken, Chicago, Ill.; N. C. Buron, St. Joseph, Mo.; W. D. Johnson, Plains, Ga.; D. H. Johnson, Greenville, S. C.; J. A. Lindsay, Memphis, Tenn.; R. S. Jenkins, Fort Worth, Tex.; S. A. Harris, Sandford, Fla.; C. R. Tucker, Oklahoma City, Okla.; T. A. Smythe, Chicago, Ill. Bishop C. S. Smith presided, and in the opening made a short address, then followed an address by Bishop Hurst, and the introduction of Rev. R. C. Ransom, D. D., New York, editor of A. M. E. Church Review; Prof. John R. Hawkins, Washington, D. C., financial secretary. The important part was the report of Dr. Rankin, showing the extent of the missionary work being done by the church, and that during the fiscal year ending March 31st, 1915 the amount of money collected including the amount brought forward from the previous year, amounted to $50,734.46, and the disbursements amounted to $48,245.58 leaving a balance of $2,385.88. In the report of the auditing committee Dr. Rankin was commended upon the neat and comprehensive bookkeeping, and every cent was accounted for as shown by the report. He is well posted on missions and it would pay the church to keep him there. There will be another meeting on the eve of the opening of the general conference in 1916. EUREKAS VS Y. G. E's On Wednesday afternoon the Eureka base ball team and the Y. G. E's will cross bats at athletic park. On account of the popularity of both clubs a large crowd is expected out; Both teams have been practicing hard for the game and a good brand of ball is promised those who go out. Special cars will be stationed at Habersham and Gwinnett streets, which will enable the patrons to reach the park in a short time. The game will be called at 4 o'clock. The admission will be 10 cents and ladles and children will be admitted to the grand stand free. Atlanta, June 28—The seventeen lodges of Masons in this city-met Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the temple on Auburn Ave., to celebrate St. John's day. Brg. York Waters, P. M., of St. James Lodge was selected to deliver the address. He is a Masonic scholar. The the brethren were very much disappointed when they found that Bro' Water's health would not permit him to be present on this occasion. The Grand Master presided at the meeting. In the absence of Bro. Waters, the craft called on him to speak on the occasion. He urged the brethren to come out in the open in all things. He also urged the brethren to live Masonic lives, not simply commit the ritual, but live it and in the end they would reach that place where all good Master Masons hope to go. It was enjoyed by all the brethren. The singing and prayers were inspirling and the brethren were all over joyed and said the Grand Master was not a preacher, but that he delivered a sermon that would long be remembered. A collection was taken and after some expenses of last year were paid the other was divided between Prince Hall Building Association and the cow fund for the Orphan Home. The amount sent to the Grand Secretary to help purchase a cow for the home was $3.93. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA Society All Aglow By Y. M. C. A. Play AT PEKIN THEATRE.NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT. Will be One of the Most Brilliant Affairs of the Season—Packed House. Expected—Most Box Seats Taken by One of Younger Clubs. Not within recent years, if at all, has Savannah been so much worked up over any theatrical presentation as it is now over the play which the dramatic club of the local Young Men's Christian Association will present at the Pekin Theatre on next Friday night July 9th. For this occasion the club has selected the laughable German comedy, "For One Night Only," written by R. H. Baker. The play is staged in four acts and presents many amusing situations which will afford the large audience which will be present next Friday night much opportunity for laughter. The play has been presented at several of the leading white colleges of the north, the Howard University dramatic club being the first to stage it among Negroes. The local cast which is composed of five young men and four young ladies, has been rehearsing the play for some time and have become very conversant with their respective roles. Tickets for the occasion have now been on sale for the past two weeks and the manner they, have been going indicates that a crowded house will witness the play. The box seats have all been taken, one of the social clubs of the city taking most of them. Admission to all parts of the house will be 25 cents. The entire net proceeds of the night will go toward the general X. M. C. A. fund. The following is the cast of characters: Spartan Spotts, a theatrical manager, Mr. Wendell P. Tucker, Dr. Leopold Newman, soul-in-law of Prof. Goldwhinney, Mr. Matthew Jones. Jack Hawkins, an actor and son. of Mr. Chas, Hawkins, Mr. Valdore Giles. Mrs. Sophronia Goldwhinney, Miss Nettle A.

JOHN'S DAY OBSERVED Last Sunday afternoon a goodly number of Masons of the city gathered at the Masonic temple where the program as published in The Tribune of last week, was carried out. The recitation by little Miss Erma Roberts was a gem. She recited in a manner that elicited the prolonged applause of all present. Miss Bessie E. Foster, read an interesting paper on the Eastern Star which was full of important information. The address of Past Master P. A Denegall on the "True Principles of Masonry" was a gem, full of deep thought, and caused many of those present to "inculcate" more of the true principles of Masonry. The address of the Grand Secretary on the "Progress of Masonry in Georgia" was well received; it contained valuable information to the craft. Dr. S. J. Ross was called on and gave an impressive talk. The sermon by Rey. J. L. Taylor was pointed, short and full of interest. He claimed the full attention of all of his hearers. The music was furnished by a chorus under the direction of Past-Master W. H. Burgess. The members of the order and friends present were well pleased with the entire program.

NUMBER 41 MASONS HELD BEST SESSION IN HISTORY MASONS HELD BEST SESSION IN HISTORY SPIRIT OF UTMOST HARMONY PREVAILED DURING Americus Meeting Departments of Order in Excellent Condition—Attendance not as Large As Previous years—Grand Master's Address Elicited Much Applause What is possibly the best communication ever held by the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge, was that of last week at Americus, Ga. The Grand Lodge assembled in its forty-fifth annual communication on Tuesday morning, June 22, in the auditorium of the Orphan Home. Promptly at 9 o'clock Grand Master Butler called the grand lodge on, and the impressive opening service was conducted with Grand Chaplain, Rev. L. A Townley, leading in the devotions. The committee on credentials had its report ready in a short time and submitted same, which was approved. The minutes of the last grand communication were read for the information of the representatives and special committees appointed. The Grand Master permitted a number of the representatives to speak of their work during the year. Each one of them gave glowing accounts of the same despite the financial depression. After dinner hour, the Grand Master read his address. It was the best ever presented by him. Every single phase of Masonic activity during the year was touched upon in an interesting manner which prove that the grand master is a close student and is painstaking in the management of the affairs of the grand lodge. His report elicited the plaudits of the representatives, several of whom gave expressions of hearty approval. The report of the grand secretary, showed a surprising sum collected, despite financial conditions in the state. He also presented a statistical statement denoting progress. The grand treasurer's report agreed with that of the former, and in addition showing the expenses. One of the most interesting reports was that of the Masonic Relief Association rendered by its secretary and treasurer, W. C. Thomas. This is the most efficient and best conducted relief department in the state regardless of order of either race. The cash balance is large with all claims up to the closing of the fiscal year paid. This department is being conducted on the most economical basis and its cash balances are so managed as to earn for the department a sum more than sufficient to pay off all of its running expenses. Its secretary and treasurer came in for a share of the praise of the representatives who voted him their confidence and esteem. The collections for the Orphan Home department were reported by Prof W. H. Spencer. This department has improved considerably and for the first time since its inauguration has shown a cash balance. This again proves that the affairs of the grand lodge are being practically and economically administered. After all of the reports of the officers were rendered, the officers were elected. The Grand Master and Grand Secretary were re-elected without any opposition. Following are the officers: Most Worshipful H. R. Butler, M. D. grand master. Right Worshipful J. H. Walker, deputy grand master. THAT, LAZY LUMIX WILL GET UP THIS MORNING A RIGHT. WHEN I CALL YOU, AFTER THIS, YOU'LL GET UP ILL BET. 1-1-1-APOUGIZE 1-1-1 THOUGHT IT, WAS SIMON HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP! S'THATS GOOD. LET HIM STAY THERE UNTIL I WANT TO GET UP ABOUT NOON International Cartoon Co., N. Y. Bristol, Va.—In leaving home on a vacation, and to get around a little bit, I was invited by our editor to vacation, and to get around a little write something to the paper. While I am not up on this newspaper writing business I thought that I could not learn younger so just made up my mind to try it for one time, and if I fall I am sure the editor will not think hard of me. I have been reading newspapers for some years, and I have been a reader of the Tribune ever since it has been a Tribune, and I have often had a desire to see my name in it, because I have seen other names, but I did not know just how to get about it. But when the editor asked me, I hardly knew what to say or do. I felt like commending this letter with "Dear Mr. Editor" I seat myself down in a chair with my ink and paper on the table and pen in hand to write you a few lines to inform you of my health," but was informed that was not the way to write to a newspaper, but just go right on and say what you have to say. I don't know what I want to say, except I got myself in order to get away from Savannah, and a hackman promised me to call in time to get me out of town on a trian leaving about 3 o'clock in the morning. I was there in full force, but that scoundrel did not show up, so I had to remain until the next morning. I had been to the bank and got out all my money except one hundred dollars, and have decided to let it remain there for a nest egg. It is there and there to stay. That will bury me in case I should die on the road. I started for Quitman, Ga. I was the guest of Dr. M. H. Cobb there and that man did ride me around in his automobilie. I don't know as I have ever had so much ride since I have been a member of this race. I only spent one day there, for I had decided to go abroad. I had made up my mind since I had some money to leave my native land. People have been talking about going abroad for years, and I just made up my mind to enjoy some of this going abroad. It was around mid-night when I left Quitman, and when I got into a foreign country I did not remember, but I do know that I woke and found myself in Montgomery, Ala. This is the first time I had opened my eyes in a foreign country. I had to change here because I wanted to explore the country a little further, and went right on to Birmingham. Birmingham is a big country, plenty big houses, just like Savannah, and plenty of people, and one bank for our people. It is indeed a busy place. I had the pleasure of attending the National Baptist Sunday School Congress, and meeting some of the big men of the Baptist church. They were there in full numbers. They called it a Sunday school of methods, and I felt like it was a Methodist meeting, but it was not. At the head of this is to be found the officials, R. H. Boyd, D. D., director; C. H. Clark, D. D., chairman; Henry Allen Boyd, corresponding secretary; Prof. R. B. Hudson, recording secretary. I just looked and looked at these people. I met many others whose names I do not recall and you will pardon me for not recalling them. I saw the big parade Sunday, 3,000 people in line. This meeting would be well to be held in any city. We were not represented much because our preachers were attending the marriage of the two Baptist conventions in Macon. I was soon found headed another way, because I rode to Atlanta. Now I am right back in my own country, but I did not stay long, because I prepared for another trip abroad. I went from there over the L. & N., to Knoxville, Tenn., then to the place where I am to-day. I am going to continue abroad. I expect to go to New York before I get back home. If this letter is a success I am going to write another one. I am going to tell you of some of the things I see in these foreign countries. C. J. HARDSTEW Just What She Wanted.

M. C. A. in this city. The young men who have thus far been struggling to put the work of the Y. M. C. A. on its feet in this city need the help and encouragement of all persons who expect the Negro youth of the city to measure up to the full requirements. The work of this institution fills a place in the community life which a city the size of Savannah and which affords so many alluring places of vice to her youth, can ill afford to ignore and it behooves us all to put forth special efforts to see that nothing stands in the way of the establishment of a fullfledged, wide awake Y. M. C. A. so that our boys and young men may be afforded the privilege of an institution which will assist them in the proper direction of their energies. Up to date, several of the churches of the city have proven of assistance and have added materially to its finances, and it is hoped that others will do likewise. Next Friday night the work of the association will be brought before the public in a way which will give every one an opportunity of lending a helping hand. The dramatic club of the association will render at the Pekin theatre on that night an interesting comedy and it is hoped that a packed house will greet the performers in this their initial appearance. The play which this branch of the association will render, is both interesting and amusing and well worth the small price of admission which is to be charged. It is the first time in years that anything so big as this has been attempted by a local amateur cast and the citizenry in general should show its appreciation of this excellent production. Aside from helping to add to the finances of the association by having a packed house, the association by staging such a high class and up-to-date play will add to the public amusements which Savannah in particular, has long since been in need of—intelligent, clean, edifying entertainment. Our young people should have more opportunities like this to show their talent and we feel that the association's coming theatrical presentation will not only be the means of adding to its finances by having a large crowd in attendance but will be the beginning of a series of such events to take place annually. CARD OF THANKS We thank the many friends for their kindness during the illness and death of our mother, Bessie Miller, who departed this life on the 20th of June at Arcadia, Ga. AUGUSTA (GA.) WEEKLY LETTER Men and Measures Augusta, Ga. Our letter of last week stirred things here, and it is safe to conclude that if you get people down to thought and study, helpful action may follow. Everybody except the two or three beneficiary "gentlemen of cloth" commends the stand of your correspondent against desecrating our churches with political meetings. The practice must stop, say the officers and members. Many people are anxious to know the writer of these letters. Many of the "fair" sex are guessing, while the men are placing with certainty nearly every fellow who they think can "line out a few." A few nights ago I dropped into a crowd on a street corner, they all had read The Tribune. everyone one knew the Augusta writer, no two naming or rather guessing the same man. I ventured a guess, and too, like the others, missed the man. I promised, however, that if The Tribune readers here would send in 50 cash annual subscriptions within the next sixty days, I would induce Editor Johnson to expose the Identity of the Augusta representative. Now let the anxious ones dig. Premier Lansing of our State Department looms so large we do not miss W. J. Bryan. Mr. Lansing's reply to Germany carries plenty of ginger and leaves nothing to be guessed at. One of Mr. Wilson's many blunders was the appointment of a wry, uncertain politician, Secretary of State Mr. Bryan betrayed Champ Clark in order to nominate Wilson, in disgrateful disregard of the instructions given him by his state. Could Mr. Wilson expect a different fate? Taft, the Traitor. But for the man's betrayal of his party and inmate propensity for telling anything, but the truth, I could feel a tinge of sympathy for old man Bill Taft, who once swashed about in the big seat of president of the United States by the grace of ex-president Roosevelt. Taft was so much "dead wood," and was practically helpless. He was indebted to Mr. Roosevelt for, not only the presidency but for several other big jobs which he had, previously held. Yet, before Mr. Roosevelt had cleared the country for other parts, Taft had deserted him and was so soon at work slaughtering the frineds of his benefactor. Even at that he was not content, he went further and ousted life long republicans—good, clean, officials, replacing them with organized democrats. In this and in other ways he disorganized the republican party, even up to and at the last republican convention, thus paying the way for the election of a democratic president and resultant financial disaster which now envelops our whole country. These were a series of crimes against his party which can never forget or forgive Taft. His betrayal of the friendship and confidence of Mr. Roosevelt stamped him an ingrate whom all manly men, whether republicans, democrats, or what not, should refuse to trust. I remember how this man, in the white house at Washington, promised a delegations of republicans from Savannah that he would appoint Mr. Joseph F. Doyle postmaster at that city, and how, almost as soon as the delegation had had time to return home, in absolute disregard of his solemn promise, he appointed a democrat instead. I remember, too, the scathing straight-from-the-shoulder telegram which a member of the deceived and betrayed delegation flashed over the wires to Taft, and how he had the audacity, the unmitigated gall to deny his own promise made in the presence of and to an entire delegation! Ever since the inauguration of Mr. Wilson Bill Taft has presented a pitiful if not a pathetic picture. By his (almost) every act he has begged President Wilson to give him a place on the U. S. Supreme Court bench. He has "hung" about the white house in season and out and has at all times been ready with endorsements of President Wilson's acts. "Tis pity 'tis true! The U. S. Courts of Appeals all over the country are sitting down hard on the policy of the democratic party, through its administration to destroy big business concerns because they are big. While the opinions being handed down are sound in law, they are also in keeping with the super public sentiment of the country. The Pythian Grand Lodge Meets-at Savannah July 13th. It is understood that that city is going to "swing high" for nearly all the officers and honors. I learn they intend to rake off the Vee Grand Chancellorship, member of the Endowment Bureau, Secretary and Treasurer of the Endowment Bureau, etc. Hang all the other sections of the state! Fred Cohen, Esq., the present secretary and treasurer, lives in Savannah. I do not think there is any question as to his re-election. Big thing for Savannah carrying all the Endowment funds of the Order, all of which I hope are safely deposited in the Wage Earners Bank. In addition there must be retrenchment and helpful legislation. These more closely concern the bank and file of the membership than the question of who shall hold the offices. The Pythian Temple Matter will come in for attention. According to Bro. Sherman we are paying six hundred dollars, plus, per year for collecting the rentals. And it is contended that this useless expenditure of the funds of the people is unauthorized. Then, too, it is argued there are too many salaried officers; that of the office of secretary and treasurer of the Endowment Bureau, which is strictly a political office, might be abolished and that work given to the Grand Master of Excheque. This latter office is fixed by the constitution and cannot be abolished by the Grand Lodge. To abolish this office would not necessarily abolish General Cohen, because in the election for Grand Master of Excheque I do not believe he would have any serious opposition. I understand our good friend Charlie McCarthy is already overburdened with similar duties in connection with several other secret organizations. Grand Keeper of Records and Seals Should be required to record the proceedings of the Grand Lodge, thus cutting off the pay of that service that has been annually paid to another person. And it is the duty of the Grand Keeper of Records and Seals to do this work. It is "a condition and not a theory that comforts us," as Grover Cleveland once said, and there can be no evading or dodging the issue. The above suggestions, if favorably acted upon, would result in an annual saving of two thousand dollars per year. The Odd Fellow Meeting Is also being given serious consideration here as it is throughout the state. The fight for delegates from the various lodges here has been fierce, resulting in a complete rout for the administration forces—that is to say every lodge elected, I learn, anti men. Bishop R. S. Williams and Rev. C. T. Walker, both avowed administrationists, and on the pay-roll, were left off the delegation. The consensus of opinion here is that the preachers should stick to their "calling" and quit dabbling in extraneous matters—such as secret organizations and political drudgery. District Grand Secretary From all sections of the state complementary references connecting Mr. J. C. Lindsay of Savannah with the District Grand Secretaryship. Mr. Lindsay, I think, could win and would make one of the best officers the Order ever had. His weekly letters fill The Tribune stamp him a thorough man and betray that sagacity and business acumen that would make him a valuable addition to the committee. Lindsay is, in fact, a real live wire, and the brethren have an eye on him. Insulting Its Patrons The Augusta-Alken Electric Railway Company which operate passenger cars between the two cities has gone the limit in rank race discrimination. They have not only put in partitions, but have separate entrances for white and colored passengers. On one end entrance, on the outside overhead appears in large letters "Colored" while on the other appears "White". Aint that going the limit? There is no other race that would quietly and without protest submit to such insult. What the Negro need is thorough organization. In union there is strength, but it seems we shall never learn the lesson. The so-called Negro leaders, have not a word of protest. New Assistant Principal We have learned that Prof. Tutt, who has taught at Haines Normal Institute of this city has been made assistant principal of that institution. I congratulate Miss Lucy C. Laney, the principal, the institute and Prof. Tutt. Mr. Jerome Trotty, one of our letter carriers, has purchased and moved in to a beautiful home on Márbury street. It is rumored that Miss Mary C. Jackson, for a number of years assistant principal of Haines school in this city, is soon to be married to the president of a large educational institution in North Carolina. Miss Jackson has done a splendid work here, and-if the rumor proves to be true, Augista will be all regrets. Springfield Baptist Sunday school enjoyed its annual picnic at Riverside Park last Tuesday, Rev. Nabrit, pastor. Rev. Pinckney and his people at Thankful Baptist Church are having a feast week and the various churches and choirs are rendering portions of an elaborate program. Rev. Pinckney is doing a great work here and is highly regarded by all the people, without regard of denomination, as a christian minister who will not subordinate his calling to worldly matters. A "Young Men's Christian Association" is in bad when the old "bucks" take charge and so manipulate it as to make it repugnant to the young men. Can't we give the Lord a chance some where, some how? THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK IN A MAN'S BUSINESS How to get it? Just drop in at the post or express office, buy a money order for $1.25. Indorse this with a note giving your name and street number. In an envelope, address the Savannah Tribune, 1009 West Broad street, Savannah, Ga., and the paper will be delivered at your door every Saturday for 12 months. If you want your subscription to begin with this series of letters, and will so state in your letter, back copies will be sent you. It will be more interesting further on. Misses Sadle B. Davis, Helen Lee, of Boston; Ethel Hudson, Theodosia White, Lavonia Warren, chaperoned by Mrs. Paul Davis, took a six miles hike last Tuesday morning. They left at 5 a. m., and returned at 7. Some hiking, but the young ladies all aspired to be athletes; and it is said the little company has been considerably augmented already. THE SMALL MERCHANT or producer whose business is growing will not be satisfied with a savings account when he discovers that his working capital has increased capital in a commercial account, because it is more affective. The First Congregational Sunday school will picnic at Riverside Park, July 14th, and Miss M. E. Chinn, superintendent, Rev. E. E. Lighter, pastor, and the members are preparing to make the occasion one of genuine pleasure for the little folks. Moving the "Red Light" Moving the "Red Light" Most of the Negroes of Augusta live in the southern section of this city. Until recently that section has been comparatively free from questionable resorts which are supposed to be confined to the "Red Light" or upper section of our city. Recently a number of these places have been opened right in the midst of respectable Negro families. In these families are to be found many of our best young women, some of the public and other school teachers, and it is outrageous that they and families should be thus imposed upon. I note with pleasure that appeal is to be made to the Mayor to have these places vacated. Falling in that, I have been informed that one of the ablest lawyers in the city will be engaged to take action in the matter. Such encroachment should be taught to the bitter end. If the same people were to set up such business in a white residence section there would be prompt and effective action. Even white men who frequent these places seem to think, judging from the action of some of them, that Negroes have no rights which they are bound to respect. In addition to these places being offensive, illegal and unbearable, they may any night project a race clash that might result in serious consequences and forever disgrace Augusta. As a commercial depositor, he not only has the advantage of a checking account, but he is also in a position to obtain loans from time to time as exigencies may arise. The use of this bank as a reserve in his undertaking—the bank tiding him over seasons when outlay exceeds income—is an essential thing for a young man to learn.

Ifear what this white editpr says about the part that the Negro Business Lea- sue been able to play in our recial progress in the last fifteen years. Negro Progress “This summer the Negro Bpsiness Teague of America will gather at Boston, Mass., for the celebration of its fifteenth anniversary. “What it Lay to celebrate Is data found in the Federal Census of 1900 and 1910, with added figures compiled in the last five yours. Since the league was organized land and buildings owned by Negroes In this country have increased fn value 293 per ceut—from $69,636,420 to $273,- 501,865. Negr farm property has in- creased in Value 177 per cent; live stock, 107 per ceut; tools und machin- ery, 9S percent. In 1900 there were 20,000 Negro-bust- ness concerns in the country. The number is now 45,000. There are to- day 51 Negro banks where fifteen years ago there were but two. Wholesale businesses owned bu Negroes have in- creaged from 149 to 240, and retail stores from 10,000 to 25,000. ‘TEP Above only proves in figures a progrest of which everybody ix aware in Bee. ‘We belfeve that a nation-wide knoxJedge of such fact {s the best reason why no ‘attempt to stir up race feeling, no exploitation of dark- per- fods of the past, can at this day dfs- tarb the foundations the colored muy hag laid for himself. * “It fy a mistake to think that book, play or moying picture, déallug with brutalities of the reconstruction pertod can do lm harm.

BISHOP'S COUNCIL OF A. M. E. CHURCH IS RENT ASUNDER Sesious Dissension Develops at Wilberforce Annual Session—Several Bishops Left the Council. SOUTHERN BISHOPS TOGETHER Willberforce, O., June 22—The bishops' council of the A. M. E. Church met in annual session here at the close of the commencement exercises of Wilberforce University. The bishops' council is composed of all the bishops of the connection. All of the bishops were present except Bishop J. Albert Jackson of South Africa and Bishop W. H. Heard of West Africa. Both of these bishops were detained on account of the European war. The death of Bishop H. M. Turner, of Atlanta, Ga., who was the senior bishop and president of the board of bishops, caused Bishop B. F. Lee, D. D. of Wilberforce, Ohio, to become the president by the fact that he was next in seniority. Bishop Lee has for many years been the secretary. His becoming president caused a vacancy in the secretaryship, Bishop J. S. Flipper D. D. of Atlanta, Ga., was assistant secretary, and as such, many thought that he would become the secretary till the quadrennial election of officers of the council in June, 1916. The Bishop C. S. Smith of Detroit, Mich., urged that the place of secretary be filled at this meeting. A ballot was had and Bishop Jno. Hurst of Baltimore was elected. Bishop J. S. Flipper took this as being a slap at the southern wing of the church, and walked out of counD. Chapelle of Columbia, S. C., who cil. He was followed by Bishop W. is the presiding bishop over Arkansas and Oklahoma, and Bishop J. M. Conner, of Little Rock, Ark., the presiding bishop of Mississippi and Louisiana. These bishops were surrounded by a host of ministers who urged them to make one effort to find out if the spirit of sectionalism was the cause of the turning down of Bishop Flipper of Atlanta. A committee of bishops waited on Bishop Flipper at the residence of President Scarborough of the university, last night and he was persuaded to wait on the action of the council to day. The morning session of the council was taken up entirely in discussion of the matter, and the bishops decided that if Bishop Flipper would sign a statement to the effect that the bishops had a right to elect at this time, that bishop Hirst would decline the election and let Bishop Flipper serve. Bishop Flipper refused this offer and the southern bishops walked out and took the train for their respective homes. The council is made up of the following bishops: Bishop B. F. Lee, Wilberforce, Ohio; Bishop B. T. Tanner, Philadelphia; Bishop C. T. Shaffer, Chicago; Bishop B. P. Parks, Chicago; Bishop Evans Tyre, Nashville, Tenn; Bishop L. J. Coppin, Baltimore; Bishop Joshua H. Jones, Wilberforce, Ohio; Bishop O. S. Smith, Detroit; Bishop John Hurst, Baltimore; Bishop J. S. Flipper, Atlanta; Bishop W. D. Chappelle, Columbia, S. C.; Bishop J. M. Conner, Little Rock, Ark. While a late number of the bishops live in the the sections above the Mason and Dixon line, more than four-fifths of the membership of the church are in the southern states, and many think that the eastern and northern bishops use their numbers purposely to bring the southern wing of the church under subjection to them. Memorial Presented A delegation of southern ministers waited on the bishops and presented the following memorial: "To the Bishops of the A. M. E. Church: The death of Right Rev. H. M. Turner has brought much sadness to the hearts of the African Methodist Episcopal Church throughout the connection. "In accordance with the orders of the council of bishops our churches are now draped in mourning and our membership is in sorrow on account of the loss of this great man. The death of Bishop Turner brought about a change in the bishops' council, and Bishop B. F. Lee, who is the acting senior, becomes the senior presiding bishop of the bench. A vacancy occurs in the secretaryship which we think should be filled by the assistant secretary, Bishop J. S. Flipper, to the close of the present quadrennium, unless it is found by his colleagues that he is incompetent for the place. "We have learned with deep regret that your honorable body in selecting a secretary did not elect Bishop Flipper, which we believe is wrong, inasmuch as we have thousand of members throughout the church who believe that the lines of sectionalism are being more and more prominently drawn year after year, an evil which we desire to correct. We therefore most respectfully represent to you that it will be detrimental or injurious to the church if something is not done to correct the impress which this act appears to represent. "Signed. "Rey. J. G. Robinson, president of the Commercial Council, Pline Bluff Ark. Rev. W. A. Fountain, president Morris Brown University, Atlanta, Ga. "Rev. J. A. Hadley, presiding elder Atlanta district, Atlanta, Ga. "Rev. P. W. Greatheart, dean of theology, Morris Brown University, Atlanta, Ga. "Professor C. G. Garreatt, vice president Allen University, Columbia, S. C. "Rev. D. H. Johnson, treasurer Allen University, Spartanburg, S. C. "Rev. W. D. Johnson, secretary of the general conference, Plains, Ga. "Rev. L. H. Smith, treasurer Morris Brown University, Macon, Ga. "Rev. A. J. Cary, pastor Institutional Church, Chicago, Ill. "Rev. Y. M. Townsend, secretary federation commission, Little Rock, Ark. "Rev. J. J. Morant, presiding elder Vicksburg district, Vicksburg, Miss." It is predicted that the southern wing of the church will go to the next general conference and by force of numbers take every general office and elect enough bishops for the south to take complete charge of the church. The election of Bishop Hurst, is declared to be the result of a well-told plan. Dr. J. G. Robinson of Arkansas, who is president of the general connectional council, went to Bishop Chappelle at Atlanta, Ga., while attending the senior bishop's funeral, while Bishop Turner was yet in his coffin and laying in state at the church, and told him that he heard two bishops in conversation and that one of them remarked: "Now we will have the opportunity to displace Bishop Flipper from the secretaryship, and we can bring about the election of Bishop Hurst of Baltimore." And true to the story told the South Carolina prelate by Dr. Robinson, Bishop Hurst was elected. A Lamo Excuse. "A French sentinel in Algeria," said a playwright, "had for his colonel a very tall, lanky, round shouldered man. This round shouldered colonel one night was making a quiet inspection. Passing the sentinel, he found, to his rage and indignation, that he was not challenged. So he returned to the man and roared: "You didn't challenge me! "N-no, sir," faltered the sentinel, sutting. "Well, why didn't you?" the colonel demanded. "Excuse me, sir," said the sentinel, "but I thought—I beg your pardon, sir—I thought you was a camel." CONSCIENCE Conscience is justice's best minister. It threatens, promises, rewards and punishes and keeps all under its control. The busy must attend to its remonstrances, the most powerful submit to its reproof and the angry endure its upbraidings.

"What's the matter, my dear? Has he been brutal to you?". "Yes, he has." "What has he done?" "Yesterday when I asked him for a new hat he said he couldn't afford it, and"— "Yes, go on." "And even when I broke down and cried he didn't give in and say I could have it"—Detroit Free Press. Pa Know, All Right. "Say, pa," said little Johnny to his father, "what do they mean by vulgar ostentation?" "Vulgar ostentation, my son," said pa, who hadn't lived fifty years for nothing.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, II Sam. xviii, 1-15. Memory Verse, 5—Golden Text, Ephvi, 1—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Our lesson title is "Absalom's Failure," but "Absalom's sin and overthrow" might perhaps have been better. There is not so much of profit in the lesson verses as there is in what precedes and follows, and as this is our last lesson in this book we must gather all we can in the space at our disposal. Our last lesson was in chapter xii, and because of David's great sin he was told that the sword should never depart from his house and that the Lord would raise up evil against him out of his own house (xii, 10, 11). There is always a reaping from all sowing, either good or bad (Gal. vi, 7; Hos. vill, 7). Chapter xiii tells of the beginning of his household troubles and of the flight of Absalom and his sojourn three years in Geshur. Chapter xiv tells of the plea of the wise woman of Tekoa and of Absalom's return to Jerusalem and reconciliation with his father after dwelling two years there without seeing his face (xiv, 28-33). Absalom's remarkable beauty is described in verses 25, 26. The utter helplessness of the sinner and the great mercy of God are most suggestively mentioned by the wise woman in verse 14. Chapter xv describes Absalom's rebellion and the plight of the king, and would have been a much more suggestive and helpful chapter than the one assigned us. David's crossing the Kidron and going up by Olivet (verses 23, 30) is so suggestive of our Lord's doing the same thing because of the rebellion of His son Israel (John xviii, 1). The notable words of devotion on the part of David's servants and of Ittal the Giltite (verses 15, 21) should be our continual heart words to our Lord Jesus. See also the devotion of Hushal, David's friend, in verses 32-37, and David's submission to the will of God in verses 25, 26. Chapter xvll tells of Shimel's cursing and how David left him wholly to God. Chapter xvll describes the suicide of Ahithophal because the counsel of Hushal was preferred to his. It also tells of David's friends who so kindly cared for him at Mahanaim. Our lesson, chapter xvll, tells of the battle between Absalom's army and that of David and of the defent of the former and the death of Absalom. It is truly pathetic to listen to David's instructions to the leaders of his hosts. "Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom" (verse 5), and then to bear his heartbroken cry when he learned that Absalom had been slain: "O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son" (verse 33). See also xix, 4. Does it not help to make more real the love of God in giving up His only begotten Son to die for us? (John ill, 18; I John ill, 10; lv, 9; Rom, vll, 32. The folly of seeking to make a name for oneself is seen in verse 18. A grand illustration of the significance of the command in Hab. 11. 2. is seen in lesson verses 19-32. The words are, "Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it," but they are generally misquoted, "that he that runs may read," as if one could take it in as they do the advertisements by the roadside when traveling sixty miles an hour by train. The true meaning evidently is, get the message correctly and then run and tell it. In our lesson Cushi had the message, for he had seen what he was to tell. Although insistent, Alhamaz was the fleetest messenger, he knew nothing, and his running was in vain (verses 21, 20, 30), and he had to stand aside. And there are many running today whom God never sent. They know nothing, but the, worst of it is that they take pride in not knowing and yet insist that they have been sent. It is blessed to be able to say, "That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you." "We cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard" (I John 1. 3; Acts 1v. 20). After Absalom was dead all Israel longed for David, and said one to another, "Why speak ye not a word of bringing back the king?" David himself sent to the priests and elders of Judah, saying, "Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house?" Then as one man they sent the message, "Return thou and all thy servants." So the king returned (xix, 9-15). Shimel, who had cursed him, was one of the first to meet him and confess his sin and seek forgiveness (xix, 16-23). Mephiboshath had mourned for him all the time that he was gone and was so glad to see him back that he was content to let Ziba have all the inheritance (xix, 24-30). Barzillal, who had taken care of the king at Mahanaim, saw him safely over Jordan, but would not go to Jerusalem, as David desired, saying that he was too old. But he asked David to take Chimham and show him kindness, which thing David was glad to do (xix, 31-40). It would seem from Jer. xll, 17, that David conferred on Chimham his personal patrimony at Bethlehem, and it may have been there that the Messiah was born, on Chimham's property.

BNEDICT'S CHURCH The messenger of death has visited us again and snatched away from our community a young victim in the person of Richard Anderson, the eldest son of Morris Anderson, on the Bonaventure road. That loving child had been sick, only a few weeks and was called away when his devoted parents had put in him great hope and pride for his future days. But God's ways are inscrutable. Perhaps he was taken away according to the holy scripture, "lest wickedness should not alter his understanding or deceit beguile him". The funeral took place from St. Benedict's Church Tuesday evening where scores of friends had gathered to pay their last tribute of love and sympathy to the dear departed one. Only a few days later another victim was struck by death in the person of Mrs. Carrie Barker who died Thursday at the home on Perry street, after a lingering illness. She had been a devoted member for many years and a teacher in St. Benedic't parish. By her suffering, by her patience and frequent reception of the sacrament, she was well prepared for heaven. A true Christian sees in death only a messenger of God who frees him from every temporal and spiritual evil and leads to the enjoyment of everlasting delight. We request all of our members to pray for the souls of those two lately departed members of St. Benedicts Parish. May their souls rest in peace. THE SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH On last Sunday morning at the eleven o'clock service the pastor, Rev. W. Bolivar Davis, preached a powerful sermon on the subject "A call to save". The service was well attended. The Sunday school met at its usual hour and was a very inspiring meeting. On tomorrow the Sunday school will have its quarterly rally. The B. Y. P. U. met at 7:30 o'clock; after the discussion of the lesson the quarterly election of officers took place. The following are the officers for the quarter: Mrs. Davis, president; Mr. E. I. Gordon, vice-president; Miss Marion Duncan, secretary; Mr. John W. Chaney, Jr., treasurer. At night the pastor preached another powerful sermon.

The theme was "Wash me thoroughly from my intiquity and cleanse me from my sin". The Christian Endeavor was led by Miss Gussie Cooper, the topic was "Song, and its meaning". Mr. W. Howard Hill rendered a beautiful solo "Eternity". At the evening hour the Rev. L. J. Ross preached an excellent sermon on the subject, "What think ye of Christ?"

SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST The tabernacle meetings are certainly an interest on the east side of town. Hundreds are attending every night. The singing services are a drawing card to the meetings. One of the interesting features is the Monday night lecture on health principles. Last Monday night we were favored with the good help of Dr. Wm. Harris who delivered a strong lecture on tuberculosis illustrating it with stereopticon slides. Monday night July 12th, Dr. Brunner has kindly consented to be with us and will entertain the congregation. The public is invited. There will be seats for our white friends.

Memory Verses, 39, 40—Golden Text, I Chron. xxviii, 9—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. To get the connection let us look at the important events since last lesson. After David's return to his throne there was a rebellion under a wicked man named Sheba, the son of Bichri, but he was overthrown and slain, and a city was saved through the influence of a wise woman who may be ranked with the wise woman of Tekoa and with Juel, the wife of Heber (II Sam. xx, 1, 10, 22). In II Sam. xxill we have one of David's great songs of deliverance, which is repeated in full in Ps. xxill. In II Sam. xxill we have some of David's last words, which we may perhaps find space to consider in connection with the record of his death in today's lesson. But there are some things which we must notice in II Sam. xxiv. such as the story of the threshing floor of Araunah, the Jebusite, over which the Lord stayed the hand of the destroying angel, saying, "It is enough," and which David bought for fifty shekels of silver and the whole place or hill for 600 shekels of gold (II Sam. xxiv. 16, 24; I Chron. xxi. 22-25). This hill was the identical mount Moriah on which Abraham offered up Isaac and received him back from the dead in a figure, and on this hill Solomon builted the temple which David desired to build, but was not permitted to, but God gave him the plans of it and allowed him to prepare abundantly for it. See carefully these passages. I Chron. xxviii. 11, 12. 19; II Chron. ill. 1. In I Kings ii. '1-4, we have some of the last words of David, with a few of his words to Solomon, but much more fully in I Chron. xxvill and xxix, with his wonderful prayer in xxix. 10-19, which we found great plenure in memorizing in the Bible classes not long ago. Oh, for a lesson on some of these portions seeming with the riches of His grace and glory instead of the less restful portions such as the lesson of today! But let us notice before looking at this lesson that Moriah and the threshing floor of Araunah or Ornan, the same hill, are strongly suggestive of the great atonement of the Lord Jesus, so that the foundation of the temple was really the atonement. So also in the tabernacle of Moses every board stood on the silver which was pald as a ransom for their souls. The only foundation for an individual or for the church is the finished work of the Lord Jesus. In our lesson today David is sald to be old, though he was only seventy (II Sam. v, 4; I Kings ii, 10. 11). He is said to have died in a good-old age, full of days, riches and honor (I Chron. xxix, 28). Trouble seems to have followed him all the way, and now, at the very end, Adonijah, his fourth son, whom he had never displeased by even saying "Why hast thou done so?" (II Sam. iii, 2-5; I Kings i, 6). seeks the throne and has himself proclaimed king. This stirred Nathan the prophet, and he and Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon, appealed to David, with the result that Solomon was caused to ride upon King David's mule and was anointed king instead of his father. This caused great rejoicing, so that the earth rent with sound thereof and David himself said, "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it" (verses 38, 40, 48). "Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David, his father, and prospered, and all Israel obeyed him" (I Chron. xxix, 23). No throne on earth was ever called the throne of the Lord, except the throne at Jerusalem, and we are fast approaching the time when Jerusalem shall again be the throne of the Lord and all nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem (Jer. iii. 17). The Lord had told David before Solomon was born that he should be his successor and sit on his throne (I Chron. xxii. 7-9), and so it came to pass, for in some way or other every purpose of the Lord shall be performed (Jer. ii. 29). I have in mind always in this connection Ps. xxxiii. 10, 11; Isa. xiv. 24, and find great rest in such assurances. If the affections of all true believers were as fully set upon the building of the church and the bringing back of the king to set up His kingdom and we were as ready to prepare with all our might, as was David, for the temple (I Chron. xxix. 2, 3), how the mission treasuries would overflow with funds to help give the gospel to every creature, and what a great company would be heard saying, "Here am I; send me!" (Isa. vi. 8). We need to remember that God tries the heart and has pleasure in uprightness and that in His hand are power and might and that all things come of Him (I Chron. xxix. 12, 14, 17). In the last words of David in II. Sam. xxiii, 1-5, he was filled with thoughts of all that God had done for him in taking him from his docks to be king over Israel, and how all that he had written had been given to him by the Holy Spirit. He was conscious of his failures, but rejoiced in the faithfulness of God, and in the everlasting covenant ordered in all things and sure. He ever looked onward to the Christ who would sit upon His throne and rule righteously and to the morning when He would come for Israel's redemption.

Marshall, grand pursuivant. Worshipful Wm. Hardy, grand tyler. It required but a short time to elect the officers. The election of officers was followed by the rendering of reports on memorials, warrants, jurisprudence, grand master's address, orphan home trustees, welfare and grievances, auditing, relief board, etc. All, of the business of the grand lodge was conducted in a spirit of harmony. Every brother had ample time to express himself and secure any information needed. In this respect the grand master has proven an ideal presiding officer and has so manage affairs in order to satisfy every one who is reasonable, or has the least tinge of Masonic principle It was the consensus of opinion that the next grand lodge communication would be elsewhere next year. When the time came to make a selection of the place, there were so many invitations extended, the representatives decided to return to Americus. One of the most pleasing features of the grand lodge communication was the exercises of the children of the orphan home and the addresses of the mayor and city attorney of Americus. This took place Tuesday afternoon. Miss B. E. Battle, principle of the home had charge of the exercises. The excellent training of the children was depicted in their action and rendition of their parts. Every one present was loud in their praise of them. The address of Mayor Lee G. Council was sincere and convincing. That of City Attorney Nesbitt was pleasing. Mr. Nesbitt delivered an address at the time when the corner stone of the orphan home was laid. Following are the standing committees of the Grand Lodge: Jur仆-prudence—C. A. Clark, L. A. Townley, D. D.; T. H./Slater, M D.; L. H. Burdell, J. H. Babcock, C. L. Davls, S. A. Jones. Auditting—L. E.

Hudson, G. A. Williams, T. C. Strickland. Foreign Correspondence—W. C. Thomas, Sol C. Johnson, S. S. Mincey, S. M. Scarlett, J. N. Chilolm. While the attendance at the grand lodge was not as large as heretofore, yet the enthusiasm was there. During the communication there were but two cases of grievances submitted from the entire jurisdiction, and both of them were of minor note. Many of the leading men of the state were present and all joined in giving the Masons the praise for the practical and harmonious manner used in conducting business. Editor B. J. Davis of the Independent, and Grand Secretary of District Grand Lodge No. 18, G. U. O of O. F., was present from the opening of the grand lodge until its close. He has this to say in the Independent about the communication: It was my pleasure to attend the Grand Lodge of Masons at Americus this week. The Grand Lodge was largely attended by representative delegates from all over the state. At the roll call Thursday morning every officer answered to his name. Committee on Credentials was ready to report, and at the sound of the gavel the Craftmen went to work and every hour the Grand Lodge was in session was characterized with business and harmony. Dr. Butler, the Grand Master, presided. "The session was one of the most harmonious and enthusiastic in the history of the Grand Lodge—this being the 45th session. Dr. Butler is the idol of the craftmen, and the brethren really idolize the old man, as he is popularly known among the craftmen. He is a true Mason, good business man and an able presiding officer and dispatches business with officer and dispatches business with care and painstaking' He was re-elected without opposition—the rule being suspended and the lodge rose en masse to record its unanimous vote in favor of his election. Rev. Dr. A. Staley having moved the suspension of the rule. "The work of the Grand Lodge is divided into four departments,—the department of general superintendency and oversight, conducted by the Grand Master, in which he has charge over the correspondents, home and foreign and directs the business of the Grand Lodge during the interim. He has a general oversight over the other three departments, and is familiar with every detail and phase of the work, working in harmony with the heads of the other departments. The department over which the Grand Master presides, might be fittingly called the executive department—because it has the execution of the laws and the administration of Benevolence, Charity, and Friendship among the craftmen.

Thomas during its existence. The receipts for the year from the lodges $36,000, interest $1,000, and some, from miscellaneous sources. The balance over the last report advanced from $75,000 to $82,000, which is a healthy showing, and Secretary-Treasurer Thomas and the craftmen are to be congratulated. We are proud of Bro. Thomas and think the Masons made no mistake when they elected him for life, as we understand he has been elected. This department is under immediate control of Prof. Wm. H. Spencer, of Columbus, who is secretary of this department, which is controlled by a board of trustees, of which Hon. A. L. Felton, of Montezuma, is treasurer, and Rev. A. S. Staley, of Americus, is secretary. The revenue of this department is more than $4,000, out of which the home is supported, the school, maintained and the farm operated. The board of trustees is successfully conducting a normal school, the Orphan Home and farm. The school composed of little orphans, treated the grand Lodge Tuesday evening to an excellent concert, in which the children acquitted themselves well. The mayor and city attorney were present and commended both the principal and the children, pledging the institution their unstinted support. "Grand Master Butler is familiar with every detail of the department. The home and premises are clean, sanitary and up-to-date in every respect. The children look healthy and strong and seem to be enjoying the comfort and benefit of a real home under the management of the principal, and preceptress. Our Masonic brothers are doing a noble work. Prof. Spencer collected more than $4,000 during the year and treasurer Felton has a cash balance of more than $1,000. The Grand Lodge Department "This department is controlled by Col. Sol. C. Johnson, of Savannah, Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge. He has charge of the collection of taxes or the expense money for the operation of the Grand Lodge. His report shows that his department handled during the year more than $7,000, and after meeting the expenses, the treasurer, Bro. G. L. Bowen, reports a balance of $3,000. Bro. Johnson next to the Grand Master, is the most popular officer in the Grand Lodge, and in point of service, the seplor officer. Everybody who knows Bro. Johnson loves him; he is affable, energetic and chivalrous as a Chesterfield, and is always ready to come to the relief of his brethren. Conditions of the Grand Lodge There is no Grand Lodge in the state that has a more. capable and industrious Grand Secretary. The Masonic Grand Lodge, while the smallest and most representative order, is possibly the best off financially from a standpoint of cash of any of the other orders in the State. The lodge is operated wisely and economically. Each officer is capable and conscientious. The session was the smoothest we have ever witnessed not an angry word nor shadow of temper was displayed by any of the traftmen during the session. Verily, the session of the Masonic Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge is a worthy example for the other Grand Lodges to follow." AT THE Y. M. C. A. Prof. J. B. Watson of Atlanta, Ga., International Secretary of the Young Men's Christinn Association spoke Sunday at the Y. M. C. A. The address will long be remembered as one of the most forceful and convincing ever delivered to the association since its organization. While in the city, Secretary Watson met with the board of directors of the association and several of its committees. Atlanta, Ga., June 15, 1915 My dear Bro. Sol. C. Johnson, Grad Secretary A. F. & A. M. Please give notice thru our official organ, The Sayannah Tribune, that there are some men now traveling in other jurisdictions as members of our jurisdiction of Masons, claiming to be in great distress and thus robbing the people out of their earnings. One of these characters is traveling in Louisiana as one Bro. E. P. Reynolds, who is a hard working, honorable member of Bethany Lodge No. 131, Steam Mill, Ga. An investigatio not the matter discloses the fact that Bro. Reynolds was at his home hard at work, while this fraud is traveling in his name disgracing the same and our jurisdiction. There is another fraud who recently struck New Orleans under the name of Dr. Henry of Brunswick, Ga. In January and February this fraud was operating in and around Chicago and Detroit and other western cities. At the Grand Masters' conference last summer at Pittsburg we went into this matter of frauds at length, and outlined plans to overtake them. This is one of the plans. Please publish this for the benefit of the unsuspecting brothers and also officers of the law. Send a copy to every Grand Master that he may put his jurisdiction on the lookout and it will not be long before the frauders will be in the hands of the law. Respectfull yours, H. R.
