The
DECISION OF SUB-COMMITTEE OF ODD FELLOWS ON GEORGIA AFFAIRS
THREE DAYS TAKEN UP WITH GEORGIA AFFAIRS
Households Separated
Industrial Farm Must Be Discontinued
—Deputies and Supervisors Go—
Cannot Send Representative to Hold
Grand Lodge.
More than three days' time was consumed in the consideration of causes coming up from the jurisdiction of District Grand Lodge No. 18 (Georgii).
Georgia Cases
Many complaints were filed from various parts of the jurisdiction, principally against certain acts of alleged malfeasance and misfeasance on the part of the district grand secretary and the district executive committee.
Brother A, Graves, of Atlanta Lodge No. 5465, presented arguments against the defendant and former Deputy Grand Master Henry Lincoln Johnson appeared as attorney for them. Dr. B. W. S. Daniels, of Savannah, and Brother L. L. Edwards, of Three Links Lodge No. 5674, Waycross, Ga.,ably supported Bro. Graves in his content against what they termed "tyrannical mismanagement" by the officials of District Grand Lodge No. 18. Former Grand Treasurer B. J. Davis was the constant advisor of Attorney Johnson in his contentions in favor of the defendants.
Bro. Graves set forth in detail the organization and operation of the so-called "Industrial Commission project". The opinion and judgment of the Sub-Committee of Management in the matter are as follows:
matter. " (In re the petition of various lodges and members of the Order in Georgia. Onlinen by the Board.)
"At the monthly Board meeting of the Sub-Committee of Management a rule was entered upon the Executive Committee of District Grand Lodge No. 1S and all parties concerned to show cause why it and they should not be directed and ordered by the Sub-Committee of Management to desist and refrain from further paying out or using the funds of the district grand lodge or the bureau of endowment thereof in support of an Industrial Commission or project as it might deem meet, and the occasion require. To this rule an answer was filed and the matter is now before this board for determination.
for determination.
"In a district grand lodge 'is vested the power of government and superintendence of the subordinate lodges within its jurisdiction in accordance with the Grand Laws, etc.' (Section 5, District Grand Lodge Laws and Constitution).
"A district grand lodge is a creature of the District Grand Lodge Laws and Constitution, 'having no inherent powers or authority.' (Lattimore against Armstrong, Vol 1, page 2S0, Sub-Committee of Management Decision).
"When one desires to ascertain the rights and powers of a district grand lodge he must look to its grant of authority from the Sub-Committee of Management.
"District lodges were created, originally solely for the purpose of superintending subordinate lodges. It had no sick to care for and no dead to bury. In a way it was the hand through which the Sub-Committee of Management sought to regulate and control lodges of the Order and there was no occasion for a fund or the raising of revenue, save to defray the expenses to superintending the lodges and exceeding the Order.
spreading the "By an amendment to the General Law, district lodges were authorized under certain conditions and regulations to inaugurate and operate an endowment department, when its plans for so doing were duly adopted by two-thirds vote of the lodges and approved by the Sub-Committee of Management. Before the passage of this General Law, no one would have suggested that there was power in a district grand lodge to operate an endowment. "The above quoted amendment is the only addition to the powers of a district grand lodge originally granted.
"It would be folly to contend that the power to operate an endowment system carries with it the power to run a farm, embark in general business or an industrial enterprise. It matters not that it is laudable to seek in all the affairs of life to aid mankind. The objects of the district grand

PRESIDENT
AND LODGE
Mrs. R. L. Barnes who was re-elected several weeks ago to the grand worthy counsellorship of the Courts of Calanthe 15 this state, is perhaps the most widely known and and most popular secret order woman in the state. Her re-election without opposition to the highest office within the gift of this large and prosperous branch of the Knights of Pythias attests in an unmistakable manner the great esteem and high regard which the thousands of members of the order in this state have for her.
Mrs. Barnes has been head of the Calanthe of the state for about fifteen years and it is due to her indefitigable energy and careful supervision of the work that the order in Georgia stands at the head of that grand and worthy branch of the Knights of Pythias throughout the country. Accepting the leadership of the Calanthes at a time when the order numbered but a few hundred members and had little or nothing in the treasury, Mrs. Barnes has succeeded, through hard work and careful management, in interesting women in every section of the state in the order until at the last session of the grand court convention, held here three weeks ago, the membership was shown to be in excess of twelve thousand, and the magnificent sum of $33,370.23 was reported as the balance on hand.
Aside from being head of the Calanthe, Mrs. Barnes was district most noble governor of the Households of Ruth of Georgia until a few years ago when a law was enacted by the S.C.M. and put in effect in this state in 1910 making it unlawful for a person holding a grand lodge office in any other fraternal order to hold a similar office in any branch of the Odd Fellows. She was one of the original members of the Household of Ruth in the state and served the order with much distinction. She is still one of its most prominent members.
She is one of the leading church workers of this city, being an untiring worker in the activities of St. Philip A. M. H. Church.
The board of endowment elected at the recent session of the Grand Court is as follows: Mrs. R. L. Barnes, Mrs. Willie Hill, Mrs. S. H. B. Sweet and Mrs. M. S. Grant.
The Central of Georgia railroad has been selected as the official route to the Odd Fellows' grand lodge, which meets in Athens, Ga., on August 10th. The Savannah delegation will leave here on Monday morning the 9th, at fifteen minutes of eight city time in special coaches attached to the regular train arriving at Macon, Ga., at 1 o'clock where the special train will be made up, leaving Macon at 1:30 o'clock, arriving at Athens at 5:30.

A WONDERFUL PICTURE SECTION
Most of the chief events of the wide, wide world are pictured in the photographic section of the New York Sunday World in a style which makes it a delight to study these contributions to current history. It is safe to say that "World Pictures" has become one of the most attractive and effective features of The Sunday World. The demand for the coming edition is so great that orders should be placed in advance each week with your news-dealer.

OB
- Afternoon Dress with a Smart Sat-
in Hat and Japanese Parasol
There are skirts with slightly raised
waistlines and plain inch-and-a-balf
headings; others with wide girdles be
low the heading, and, again, the skirt
is shirred or corded, with the heading
extending above. The peplums, too, are
treated in different ways. Many are
made with the new normal waistlines,
but there are still a few with the raised
waistlines, Usually, with the peplum
idea, the waist has a vest, leaving an
open space in the peplum in front. At
the waistline, there are double lines of
shirring, 2 crushed girdle, a belt of
the material, or one of the new fancy
belts of patent leather and white kid.
The Popularity of Voile
It has been said with truth, that
this is a voile season. As in silk,
taffeta is the favored weave, so in wash
material voil predominates. The loose,
cross-mesh lends itself readily to the
quaint styles of the 1915 season.
Whole windows of the large stores are
given up to frocks of voile; the Are
nue throngs with people who wear it,
and the lesser stores on the side streets
contribute their share to its popularity
in exclusive modes for n chosen few
of New York's select society.
One model of unusual merit is a
symphony Jn pink and white, standing
on the spacious third floor of an Ave-
nue store, The pink Is a delicate sal-
mon shade, printed in bars and em-
broidered in big coin dots in every
fourth square. This material is used
for the walst cut surplice fashion, and
for the skirt that comes up over the
waist with a heading, while the collar
and cuffs are white voile, edged with
a Pleating of pink and white. ‘
Pockets a Feature in Misses’ Skirts
<If misses’ skirts are properly pock-
eted, they are smart this season. In-
deed, pockets in their newly-found
popularity have outgrown skirts and
extend into straps on the belts and
even Info suspenders on the blouse.
They are real pockets, conveniently
placed squarely over the hip, that a
girl can put her hands into and swag-
ger down the street like her big brother
pockets that are big enough to Hold
the knickknacks of the handbag, and
Jast, but not least important, pretty
enough in shape to trim the skirt.
‘They appear on the rough-and-ready
ekirt of linen, washable corduroy and
cotton gubardine. There are some
charming models in soft bine ‘and rose
linens; with suspender pockets; sports
skirts" of corduroy have pockets ‘that
mutton ovér the belt—bis, roomy af-
fairs—at the sides that will be the
pride and joy of some girl's life.
Pipings for Linens
One of the smartest ways of finish.
ing the linen skirts fs with pipings.
‘A store that makes a specialty of
jnnior dresses is featuring a rose liner
piped in white, ‘The skirt is made with
the large patch pockets at the side that
esta it suspenders, on the waist.
‘The sKirt, suspenders, pockets, and
cuffs are of the rose linen, while the
‘Waist is white Swiss, The pocket ts
outlined with a piping: of white that
accentuates its shape and adds to the
style.
Midsummer Hats of Satin
Satin buts are an innovation of the
midseason. Large shapes are favored
in these, and trimmings are unique and
original, A broad-brimmed white sat
in has a flat bow inserted in slits in
the front of the crown; a Diack satin
has white velvet birds pasted flat on
the crown, snd still another white satin
pas 2 crown of wool made in four sec-
tions, each section embroidered in a
diferent color. ‘The last suggests the
cap of the jockey set down on the top
of a satin hat, with coloring even more
brillfant.
Velvet Combines with Hemp and Chip
¥elvet is one of th e fads In summer
hats. However, it is seldom used alone,
This season, it combines with hemp and
chip. One particularly attractive hat
has a wide soft brim of white hemp,
with the low, cloefitting .crown of
black velvet finished at the front with
@ swirl of black velvet. This is held
at the center with a pin stuck through:
diagonally. The head of the pin is a
flower cut out of a flat piece of wood
and painted in color. And so it goes,

Tapestried Handbags
Gate-top handbags are still popular.
Rare bits of tapestry are now used for
the bottom, with gorgeous tassels to
finish them off. The rich tones of the
material oddly contrast with the light
dresses. There is one bag in charming
Oriental effect, with peacock coloring of
gold and purple combined with dark red
‘This is finished with 4 gold tassel’ and
heavy gold cord at the'top. Other bigs
have bracelets at the ‘top in place of
the cord; and, for those who do not care
for the deep tones of the tapestry,
there are beaded effects and silver mesh
bags in the same gae-top style.

THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBU-
TION TO CIVILIZATION
Mr. Work’s Lecture to Teachers of the
: Tuskecee Summer School.
—< a er
teachers from fourteen states attending
the sixth annual meeting which closed
to-day following an inspiring address
by Mrs. B. T. Washington uone created
a deeper interest In the study of Negro
history than the lecture delivered by
Professér Monroe N. Work of the de-
partment of research and compiler of
the Negro Year Book, Tuskegee instt-
tute. .
The address was Melivered Wednes-
day in the assembly room of the aca-
demic building and was heard by a
large and appreciative audience, The
subject discussed was “Africa in An-
cient and Medieval History.”
Pointing out that races were defined
according to certain physical character-
ities and that these physical character
istics, it was claimed, determined the
supertorty or inferiority of races, and
that the current zeographies per-se, and
that the Negro, through these descrip-
tions, has come largely to belleve in
his ivherent inferiorty and that to at-
tain superiorty he must become like the
white man in color and achievements,
in fact, along all lines, Mr, Work took
the position that this view is detrimen-
tal to the progress of the Negro and
that the Negro must make his own spec
ial contribution to world progress.
That is, instead of simply pattern-
in g after what the white man has dene,
why cannot the Negro through mustc,
art, history, science, ete., make his own
special contributions to world progress?
This question, the speaker declared, |
has arisen because in the field of sei-
ence and in the field of history a num-
per of facts have been brought ferward
which Justify this possibility. Tead-
ing scientists in the field of anthropol- ,
oxy are telling us, said Mr. Work, that!
while there are differences of races,
there are no differences which, per se,
indicate that one race is inferior or
superior to another. The differences
are in kind, not in value. On the
other hand, the speaker declared, what-
2ver superolority one race has attained
over the other has been largely due
‘o environment,
A German writer in a discussion,
some time ago, of the origin of African
ivilizations said, “What bold investi-
ratory, great pioneers, still find to tell

Mr, Work pointed out that one of

probably made by thé Negro races In

arently no iron was smelted in En-

B. C. there began to appear on the E-
‘yptian thonuments pictures of Afri-
ans bringing iron from the South to
Sgypt; that at the time considerably

Mr. Work called attention to the

Work said, “And when the faint gleam
of tradition and fable gives way to
the clear light of history, the lustre of
the Ethiopians is not diminished, They
still continue the object of curiosity
and admiration; and the pen of cau-
tions, clearsighted istorfans often
places in the highest rank of knowl-
edge and civilization.
“From this brief sketch which I have
given of the African and Medieval times
it is seen that we should not despise
the rock frum whence we were hewn.
As a race we have a past which is
full of interest, It is worthy of our
‘serious study. From itw we can draw
inspiration; for it appears that not
all black men everywhere throughout
the ages have been hewrs.of wood and
drawrs of water, On the contrary,
through long periods of time there were
black nations who ‘have left the ree-
ords of their achievements and of which
we are just now beginning to learn
a Uttle. This lttle, however, which
we have learned teachs us that the Ne-
sroes of to-day should work and strive,
Aldng their own peculia Hues fn their
own peculia ways they Should endeavor
to make contributfous to clvilizations
and to world proxress. There achieve-
ments can be such that once more
black will be dignified and the fame
of Ethiopia again spread throughout
the world.”

AMONG THE MASONS
There is no railroading of candidates
in New Zealand, An application for
degrees must lie over two months be-
fore it can be ballotted on, and the
brethren must be twice individually
officially notified of such petition, and
he cannot be initiated until one month
after he has heen elected.
. Rudyard Kipling was only twenty
Sears und six’ monts old when made
a Mason in 1886, in Hope and Perse
verance Lodge at Lahore, Pruyah, In-
dia. Robert Burns was only twenty-
three years of age when the degrees
were conferred on him in St. David's
Lodge Tarbolton, Scotland.
Don’t wear a Masonic emblem unless
Yur beart approves of it,
If unworthily worn, you admit your
shame,
Either HMve up to Masonry or tear
the pin off. .
Don’t forget you are the Master's
stewards, and you must account to
him for their use. A few short years
and some other steward will take your
place. co
Keep just accounts with God and
man, + FY
Don't fall to take the Masonic Her-
ald and read it. Then get some other
brother to read It.
Don’t fail to visit, your lodge and
keep in touch with all your brethren,
Make every brother feel that he has
gained in being there.
Don't fail to help your brethren in
every effort to make this old world
better,
_ Now abideth Faith, Hope, Charity or
Love, but the greatest of these Is char-
ity or Lore.
A Sacred Hour
“A little nonsense now and then is
relished hy the best of men”. Yes—
and I am pointing my finger directly
at you. and you—but there fs a time
and a place for that nonsense. Levity
and facetionsness have their sphere
but, brothers, that sphere is not in
the lodge room. The impressive, im-
portant solemnity of the occasion in
the exemplification of the degrees
should not be levened with aught, but
the seriousness with which it 1s
fraught, I do not desire to lead, to
teach nor to dictate, but I humbly of-
fer to you a suggestion. A brother's
birth into his Master Masonsbip, so
sacred. so holy, should teem with
beauty and love, that that glorious
hour shall ring in his future years,
on to the very end of his earthly be-
ing.
Philosophy of Masonic Work _
According to an old Jewish tradition,
little angels are born every .morning
by the brook which rolls over the
flowers of Paradise, These spirits do
not work all day. There whole Ife
is like a song, When evening comes
they cease their warblings and re-
turn, without regret, into nothingness.
Thus it is‘ with many institutions to
which the present age gives birth;
thus it has been with countless, name
less societies which have existed in the
past. Not so, however, with Frepma
sonry. It stands to-day looking back
on centuries of work whose monuments
are national; it sees, on every hand,
fields broadening and purpose deep-
{entns: it beholds a future vast and
ever progressive. It is pre-eminently
the educator of our age; its works are
the lessons of life, As defined by the
Rev, Dr. Norval, “A Mason's Lodge is
@ school of piety; the principal em-
blems are the teathers;” or, in the
impressive language of Albert Pike,
“There are “great truths at the foun-
dation of Freemasonry—truths which
it is its mission to teach, and which, as
constituting.the very essense of that
sublime system which gives to the ven-
erable institution its peculiar identity
as m science of morality, it behooves
every disciple to ponder and inwardly
digest.” ,
The preparation of the candidate
{s in itself a lesson, and the ceremontes
of initiation are beautiful and imposing
exemplifications of profound — truths
of the Order. The Mason is taught
to perfect his nature according to the
Divine plan, to subjugate his passions
to the dominion of the soul; to enjoy
‘his faculties in the noble mission of
life, to cultivate generous affections,
holy thoughts, and heavenly aspira-
tions; to labor for truth, wisdom and
virtue. He is shown that riches, glory,
and fame and all the world’s
crowns and kingdoms are but vanity,
and will vanish as a wreath of smoke;
but that the soul will live through all
time, with its treasures of holiness,
‘wisdom; hope, virture, love, pure
‘thoughts aud devout affections, Ma-
sonry teaches the exalted principles of
our existence, upon which rest the
well-beIng and progress of soclety, the
purity and sacredness of the family
relations, and the duties which are
due to the Creator of all. Masonry
teaches the equality of man. It ac-
knowledge> no earthly aristocrat or
monarch. It knows no worldly dis-
tinction of rank or position, Kings,
princes, and subjects, commanders of,
armies, and private soldiers, states
men and peasants, all “meet upon the
leyel.”"—Northern Freemason.
F. A. B. CHURCH
The services at the First African
Baptist Church were largely attended
on last Sunday, The pastor, Rev, T.
Jefferson Goodall extended a special
welcome to a number of visitors at
each service, several pereons connected
themselves with the church by letter
and watch-care relatiouship. Dr. H.
Wordsworth Reed preached an inter-
esting sermon at the 11 o'clock service
from the subject, “Faith”, Text Heb.

The truth of the matter is that many Colored business men

efforts of their white competitors. .
“Ts a far cry” from sentiment to business. 5
This is the age of specialized selling methods and the Col-
ored merchant must “fall in” or “fall out.”
The difference between the business which is “mighty fine”
and “just eo-so” is the difference in merchandising methods.
‘We can help you to put your business into the “mighty fine”

Opposites. 7
“It’s such a world of opposites,” says
an observer. “On one side the rich, on
the other sidexthe poor. On one side
the laughing optimists, on the other
side the wailing pessimists. Here the
gilded youth who won't do any work,
there the ragged youth who can't get
any work to do.”
He paused. then ended:
“Yes, a world of opposites. On the
one hand we see an army of young fel-
lows saving up to get married, and on
the other hand an army of old fellows
saving up to get divorced.”—Exclfango.
Restaurant Affiliation.
The waiter in the light lunch cafe
looked expectantly at the first of five
men who had just entered.
“Bring me a coffee cake and a cup of
coffee,” ordered the first man. .
“Tl take some milk biscuit and a
glass of milk,” said the second. 2
“Tea buns and a cup of tea, please.”
remarked the third.
“A plece of cocoanut ple and a cup of

‘Tho walter went to the fifth man. “I

“skip and jump” age. Somebody tells
some one else of “a good thing.” and
some one else proceeds to buy it be-
cause “somebody” did. We ape all
kinds of queer fashions—in dress, in
modes of living and in éverything else
—doing it thoughtlessly, carelessly and
indifferently. Then we wonder why

A captain in an Indian infantry regt
ment is known to big men as a “suba
Gar,” and the next man below him 1s
called a “Jemadar.” Most of the ofl
cerg and noncommissioned officers have
names that finish with “dar,” for a
sergeant 1s 0 “havildar.” A corporal,
howerer, 1s called a “nai,” while the
private is a “sepoy.” The only tnfan-
try regiments in which private sol-
Gers are not known ag “Sepoys” are
the Ghurka regiments. A Ghurka prt
vate is distinguished as a rifleman.
In the cavalry a trooper or private 1s
called a “sowar,” a sergeant is a “dur.
fadar” and a captain a “risaldar.”
Other ranks are similar to those in the
infantry—London Answers,
‘The Oyster Shell. =
Every one who bas handled an eys-
ter shell must have noticed the succes-
sive layers overlapping each other.
‘These are technically named shots, and
each one marks a year’s growth, so
that by counting them the age of the
oyster crn be determined. Up to the
time of its maturity—that ts, when four
years of age—the shots are regular and
successive. but after that time they
become ‘irregular and are piled one
upon another so that the shell becomes
bulky and thickened. Fossil oysters
have been seen of which each shell
was nine Inches thick, whence they
maybe guessed to be more than 900
years old. -

lows : :
“(In re Petition J. D. Powell, B. W.

mittee of Management delegate person

With respect of the consolidation of
the bureau of endowment of District

that of District Grand Lodge No. 18,
the opinion and judgment of the Sub-
Committee of Management are as fol-
lows: «
“(In re Households of Ruth of Geor-

reau of Endowment of District Grand

there is no question but what the tak-
ing over of the endowment depart-
ment of District Grand Houschold of

Brother A. Graves, who Some years
ago was expelled from the Order by
the Sub-Committee of Manazement

trict Grand Lodge No. 18 and all others
having In any wise to do with the
matter, forthwith and without delay,

ment of District Grand Ledge No 18

carried out this order.”
tincieemataaiaiiiaiiiiiimeiial
| Bro. A. Graves petitioned the Sub-
Committee of Management to reopen,
sete and give relersing to the
cause tenpinating in his expulsion from
jthe Order in 1911,
| The opinion and judgment of the Sub-
| Committee of Management with respect
|to said petition of Bro. Graves are as
| follows:
(in re Petition of Bro. A. Graves.)
“At the January 1915 meeting of
the Sub-Committee of Management, by
|its order and on petition of said Bro.
|Graves, he was restored to member-
ship In the Order.
“3fany of the witnesses since the
‘trial of the original cause have died.
“Petitioner is now in the Order. To
retry the cause if reopened, might en-
tail hardships on many. In Ufe some
[must bear burdens, justly and unjustly,
put up with them,
| “Having been, restored to membership
on his own petition, we now deem tt
proper to deny petitioner's petition for
fa further review of this cause.
“Petition denied,”
Petition of Mrs. Driskell and Others
Mrs. Mabel Driskell, Hattle T.. Green,
ani! others petitioned the Sub-Commit-
ttee of Manazement for the relief from
‘certain acts of District Grant Secretary
Ip. J. Davis and the Executive Com-
i mittee of District Grand Lodze No. 18.
| ‘Among other and diverse complaints
the petition set forth that petitioners
Inad heen charred with consplacy; that
lthe charges had ostensibly been made
by Mrs, Mamie Halley, and came about
because the petitioners’ opposition to
the candidacy of Miss Luclle Dennis
I (assistant secretary in the office of
District Grand Secretary B. J, Davis)
or the office of district grand trensur-
er of District Grand Household of Ruth
No §, and that the charges were made
‘solely for the purpose of “getting rid
of plaintiffs.”
| ‘The petition further stated that pe-
titioriers, belleving that District Grand
‘Lodge No. 18 had no jurisdiction over
‘them, and for that reason had refused
to appear before the Executive Com-
‘mittee of District Grand Loilge No. 18
to be tried for the same charge of con-
‘apiracs, that upon such refusal they
were suspended by the District Grand
Secretary B. J. Davis and ordered te
pay fines azzresating $24.
| ‘The petition also stated that they
{paid this fine vpon promise of William
ipriskell (B. J, Davis’ agent) that pe
tittoners would be allowed to form a
{ new houschold of Ruth, but such prom.
fs was never kept, The petitioners al-
jeged_ further that they surrended,
charter, etc, of Annie Jarrett House-
‘hold of Ruth No 4197, and thal after
[having paid the fines,“they found out
that it was only # schemé of District
}Grani Secretary B. J. Davis to get
jthetr books and charter.” Petitioners
were never allowed to form the new
honschold of Ruth.
| The injuries complained of date from
1911. :
‘The action of the Sub-Committee of
Management in this case Is as follows:
“Ordered :That the Executive Com-
mittee of District Grand Lodge No. 18:
and each and every member thereof;
and all parties concerned restore peti-
toners to thelr original standing in the
Oxder and that the books, etc,, of
Household of Ruth No 4179 be returned
‘to the Sub-Committee of Management.”
Under previous order of the Sub
Committee of BMantgement that B, J
Davis, district grand secretary of Dis
trict Grand Lodge No. 18, appear be
fore the Sub-Committee of Management
and show cause why a rule should nol
be issued against him to show cause
why he should ndt he punished for con
teript in relation to certain orders of
the Sub-Committee of Management
with respect to matters in District
Grand Lodge No. 18, Bro. Davis and
his counsel, Henry Lincoln Johnson,
were heard in answer.
‘The order citing District Grand Sec-
retary Dayis to thus appear before the
Sub-Committee of ‘Management was
predicated on the petition of Morzan
Willams, of Ben Willams Lodge No.
‘8313; A. O, Simpson, of West View
Lodge No. 7785; A. G, Arnold and W
H, Chivers, of Battle HIM Lodge No.
S104: M. J. Smith, of Pride of Georgia
Lodge No, 1556; E. L. Collier and W,
WH. Ballard, of Atlanta Loidze No. 5465;
J. Af. Smith, of Capital City Lodge No.
7811; William T. Morton, of Cosmopo-
Itan Lodge No, 7934; T. H. Holcomb;
and others, who allege divers unlawful
and tyrannical atts of District Grand
Secretary B, J. Davis,and the Exccu-
tivo Committee of District Grand Lodge
No. 18.
Among the causes and complaints re-
lated in the petition were the “Sinkinz
Fund Commission,” the “Industrial
Committion,” the “Eighteenth B. M. C.
Movement,” the “unlawful raising of
salaries of district grand lodge offt-
cers,” “violation of endowment policy
contracts,” “unlawful and ruinous in-
vestinent of district grand Iodze funds,”
“loaning endowment funds to members
of the executive committee and the
sinking fund commissiéners, or their
wives, and to the schemes to which
they are interested,” and “unlawful
taxation.”
The Sub-Committee of Manazement
in the face of all the evidence and tes-
timony before it, deemed the answer
of Davis and his counsel insufficient,
obscure, and unsatisfactory, and unan-
imously ruled —
“That District Grand Secretary B.
J. Davis show cause why he should
not be adjuged in contempt, Answer
to be made within 90 days; rule re-
turnable at January, 1916. meeting of
the Sub-Committee of Management.
In the matter of the claim of Dr.
BR. W. S. Daniels against Executive
Committee of District Grand Lodge
No. 18 for salary as district grand
meilical examiner, the Sub-Committee
of Management ruled:° “That the ex-
ecutive committee pay Dr. Dantels for
the time for which he had not already
been pad,”
The claim of Henry Lincoln Johnson,
former deputy Grand Master, for a
balance due him on account of attend-
ing meetings of the last Sub-Commit-
tee of Management was not allowed,
it appearing that even if the claim were
a valid one it was fully offset by the
excess In the railroad fare charged
from Atlanta, Ga., to Philadelphia, Pa,,
over that between Philadelphia and
Washington, D.C., at which place claim-
ant resided when attending the meet-
ings.
In; the case of I. L. Edwards, of
Thre, links Lodge No. 5674, Wayeross,
Ga., against the Executive Committee
of District Grand Lodge No, 18, it was
decided that, “the finding of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of District Grand
Lodge No, 18 were a iuliity and that

MISFORTUNE.
Disappointment and misfortime
are not always evils. Disappoint-
teat will make us conversant with
the noble’ part of our nature. It
will chasten us and prepare us to
meet accident on higher ground the
next time. As Hannibal taught
the Romans the ast of war, so is all
misfortune only a stepping stone to
fortune. —H. D. Thoreau.
‘Well Acquainted.
Maurice and Mildred were visiting
Aelr grandmother wheg they became
fo mischlevons that she made the old
time threat, “If you don't belave tho
bad man wili get you.” ‘The children
had never beard the threat before and
did not understand the “bad man” part
of it. ‘The following conversation be-
tween them was overheard some time
later: <
“sildred, who is the bad man?”

Lesson Vi—Third Quarter, For
‘ Aug. 8, 1915.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, 1 Kings xii:6-16.
Memory Verse, 16—Golden Text,
Prov. xvi, 18—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns,
In,this record of the division of the
Kingdom and its cause we still see God
over all controlling and in all working,
for He has foreseen everything from
the beginniug and ‘provided’ for every,
so called emergency and always tells
the final outcome. ‘This division of the
kingdom has never been heated till
this day, but {t will be In His the, ae
cording, to Ezelx, xxxvil, 21, 22, “I
will make-them one nation in the land
upon the mountains of Israel; and one
king shall be king to them all, and
they shall be no more two nations,
neither shall they be divided into two
kingdoms any more at all” ‘The im-
mediate cause of this division is found
in chapter xf, 9, 10, “Lhe Lord was
angry with Solomon because his heart
was turned from the Lord God of Isra-
el, which bad appeared unto him twice
and had commanded him concerning
this thing that he should not go after
other gods." ‘Therefore was the king-
dom rent in twain. Departure from
God and disobedience to Him is back
of all trouble, as a rule, and the devil
4s back of that, but the time will come
when on this earth there shall be no
more trouble, and from this earth and
this atmosphere the devil shall have
gone forever (Rev. xx, 10; xxi, 1-4;
xxii, 3-5). Whether it be providing a
king for Israel, as we have seen in the
case of Saul, and David, and Solomon,
or dividing the’ kingdom, as we are
about to see, the Lord generally works
by ordinary human instrumentality.
In our lesson story today we ‘see
Hadad Rezon and Jeroboam and Re-
hoboam and old men and young men
all doing seemingly as they saw fit,
Dut behind the scenes is an unseen
hand controlling, “Ibe Lord stirred
up an adversary unto Solomon, Hailad,
the Edomite.” “God stirred him up
another adversary, Rezon, the son of
Elladah.” “hus saith the Lord, the
God of Israel, Behold I will rend the
kingdom out of the hand of Solomon
and will give ten tribes to thee.” “The
eauee was from the Lord, That He
‘might perform His saying, which the
‘Lord spake by Ahijah, the Shilonite,
unto Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.”
“Thus saith the Lord, Yershall not go
up nor fight against your brethren, the
children of Israel: return-every man to
his house, for thts thing is from Me.”
(1 Kings xi, 14, 23, 31; xf, 15, 24).
Even the devil cannot touch a child of
God without God's ‘permission, as we
see in the case of Job and of Simon
Peter.
{The believer who aims to walk with
God in humility and obedience may
live in continual peace and quietness,
assured that all things are God's best
for him and that no real evil can ever
befall bim. But if there is disobedt-
ence or willfulness God will in love
and wisdorg chasten for our good. Sol-
omon being dead, Reboboam, his son,
reigned in his stead, all Israel baving
made him king at Shechem (sii, 1; I
Chron. x, 1). When Jeroboam heard
in Egypt that Solomon was dead he
returned and, with a deputation, walt-
ed upon Rehoboam with a request that
he would Nghten the burdens which
hfs father’s magniticent reign had
caused to be placed upon them. He
asked for three days to consider theic
request, and meantime he consulted
first with the old men and then with
hig young men. The former advised
moderation and that he speak kindly
to the people. but the latter advised
{nereased severity. So when the third
day came und Jeroboam and the peo-
ple came again for his reply he spake
to them as the young men had advised,
for the Lord was by their evil counsel
working out [lis purpose (verse 15), as
He also wrouzht by the counsel of
Hushai, which was evil toward Absa-
lom, to overthrow him. “The counsel
of the Lord standeth forever, the
thoughts of his heart to all genera-
tions,” but all other counsel or device
He bringeth to nought (Ps. xxxiti, 10,
1). ‘“Whatsoever the Lord pleased
that did He in heaven and in earth, in
the seas and. all deep places” (Ps.
exxxy, 6). x
However people may associate them-
selves against Him or take counsel to-
gether against His people, all shall be
broken to pleces and come to nought.
(isa. vil, 9, 10), ‘For “the Lord of
hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I
have thought, go shall st come to pass;

The effort of members of the legislature to drive white teachers out of all Negro schools, and to prevent (?) Negroes teaching white folks caused a getting together of the Negroes and conservative white folks for the common good of all. The efforts were prompt and effective, and it is believed the measure has been put to sleep for keeps. It is generally understood that that the bill was aimed at the catholic Negro schools where white Catholic teachers are in charge. It seems that there is an element of white folks in this statetat keeps up a constant fire upon the Catholic church people, but why should we, for policy sake, be kicked about too? Twould be a blessing—a God-send, if there was not another session of the Georgia legislature for the next twenty-five years. We believe old Georgia is making some progress, however slow, in the right direction.
Compulsory Education
There is pending in the Georgia legislature a bill which, if enacted into law, would force all parents to send their children to school at least three months of each year. There are many defects and loop-holes in the bill, but, all in all, it would mark the beginning. Ignorance-illiteracy is the greatest affliction under which our state staggers, and it is a pity that, with the comparative records of states which have compulsory education laws and those which have not, men who go to Atlanta to enact laws cannot see the awful plight of the state, and, instead of nursing the smouldering embers of race hatred, or religious hatred, set themselves about the task of redeeming the state superintendent. Lawton B. Evans of this city, in an address before the Rotarians a few days ago, took strong grounds in favor of compulsory education. He delved into details and by statistics showed that compulsory education wipes out illiteracy and enhances the worth to the state of each laborer, or, to be exact, I quote from the address:
"An illiterate laborer is worth $1.00 per day; a skilled laborer doing the same work in a better way is worth twice the money. The earning capacity of the illiterate in America is estimated at $150 a year; of the partially educated $30 a year; of the grammar school $600 a year; of the high school graduates $1,000 a year; of the college graduates $1,500 a year. Per capita wealth increases in the exact proportion as education becomes widespread. The per capita wealth of Massachusetts among the native born whites, is about $2,400. The per capita wealth of Georgia is around $300. Massachusetts has less than one percent of illiterates, and Georgia has 8 per cent. Massachusetts has compulsory education of all children between 7 and 14 years for eight months in the year, a total of sixty-four months, Georgia requires nothing."
Logically, Mr. Evans and those of the school he represents must admit that the above would apply also to the Negro people; therefore the policy of cutting the curriculum of the Negro schools down to the lower grades, which has been done in this city and county, forces the lowering of the earning capacity of the Negro youth; and this, in the sum total, must effect the percentage record of the state. We believe that one of the most valuable assets of a state is an educated citizenry, and this should be given without regard to race, and it is to be hoped that the movement may carry, and that in a few years the disgraceful illiteracy rate of 8 may be reduced to 0. As a whole, Mr. Evans's address is a good one and will help the cause. Those of us who know Superintendent Evans, and who know what he has had to carry in building one of the finest school systems in the country; how hard and difficult his task has been in efforts to help the poor Negro teachers and schools, sympathizes with him in many of his expressions made before the "other folks" which would otherwise appear as "knocks" aimed at us. Knowing the man we take him at his real worth, I quote below the concluding paragraph in his address:
"Why hesitate, gentlemen, on this question. Why let the old argument of the Negro question, our poverty, the hard times and other subterfuges stand between us and that prosperity that other nations and states enjoy? Let us start over and start right, and give every child, white and black, of every race, color and creed, without prejudice or stint, his inallenable right to an opportunity in this land of liberty to make of himself all that his Creator intended, all that the state and community need, and all that our christian consciences dictate that he should have.
Will Not. Pass
in which he gives it as his opinion that the bill aimed at white teachers' in Negro schools will not pass. This confirms my expressed opinion that Georgia is making progress. A further evidence of this is found in the refusal by the same body to exempt school endowments from taxation. The proposition came, in fact, from the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and had it succeeded would have been an open flagrant violation of the State Constitution. It was an attempt to raid the state treasury and "the complete separation of church and state" preachment would have vanished.
Tribune Man Here
The Savannah Tribune is striving to supply the need for a first class weekly newspaper for our people in this city. As an illustration of the demand for The Tribune the people were clamoring for it last week. A minister, pastor of one of the city churches, while visiting at the home of one of his members remarked that he would pay $5 for a copy, if need be, rather than not have last week's issue. Let the friends who wish to read the paper regularly send $1.25 directly and they will get it. But I started out to tell how I put one over the Destrek Skule people last Wednesday. I managed to get an invitation to their picnic. I did not get there until the afternoon, but, thanks to Mesdames Susie Trotty, Carrie Ryans, Dr. Carr and Mr. T. D. Ryans we received our share of good things, including the barbecue. I circulated among the members and their guests. Heard them say many good things for The Savannah Tribune and the Augusta correspondent in all of which we jobbed and yet my identity remained as mysterious as ever. I was a sort of "slenth" in the midst of as lovely set of women and many men as ever made up such a gathering.

Mr. Dave Williams was buried from Trinity Church last Sunday afternoon. He was a Knight, a member of the rank. He leaves a wife, three children, mother and brother with a large circle of friends to mourn his death:

Mr. Cornellus King, an old and respected citizen, died last week and was buried from Trinity Church of which he had been a member for a long period of years.
Mr. Chas Turner, a former resident of this city, but who resided in Minneapolis, Minn. for the past 20 or more years, was buried from Harmony Church in this city last Tuesday afternoon, the remains having been brought here from his late home. Only a few months ago Mr. Turned journeyed to this city with the remains of his wife for interment. Mr. Turner was a Mason and was given a Masonic burial.
Nearly every day records cutting or stabbing scraps among the Negroes. Hot weather and over-ripe watermelons seem to be getting in their work.
The Vagrants
The vagabons seem to have things their own way in these "dizzlings." They neither toil nor spin, yet they "dress up", shoot craps even on the public streets and fill the air with vulgar epithets, even in the very face of good women. Many of these loafers are youngsters still in their teens who would not accept employment at any wage. In many instances these idlers are provided food by their poor mothers, in many cases washer women who love (?) their sons into crime, and who deny themselves the ordinary comforts in order to feed and cloth these foul mouths, loafing rascals who not only are a disgrace to their families and to the race, but breed crime and disgrace and menace to the community. This class of young Negroes do not attend school or church, and for the good of the community and themselves as well, should be taken in hand by the proper authorities and put to work as the law provides. The man or woman who encourages his or her boy in idleness, becomes party to his crimes and must accept the stigma. The idea of the man or woman tolling hard daily feeding and clothing a sixteen or seventeen year old chap whose chief occupation is vagrancy and gambling. Compulsory education would not reach this class of youth, but the chain gang may. The Negroes are entitled, and so is the city, to relief from such deadly incubus. Such vagrants are dangerous; as a rule they steal even through burglary, and the Negro race is given full credit for their acts. Let our people quit shielding these criminals, but instead aid the proper officers of the law in their efforts to rid the community of them.

Baptist Convention
Last week, as noted, in these columns, the State Baptist Sunday School Convention and B. Y. P. U., met at Thankful Church herb. As is the case with all large gatherings of our people now a-days, whether church or fraternal, much is politics. Rev. P. James Bryant, pastor of the Wheat Street Church of Atlanta, had been president for 16 years and had built a powerful organization. He was defeated for re-election. Among the nominating speeches was one by a lad from Atlanta in favor of Rev. Bryant. In it he openly referred to the preachers as "whiskey drinkers" who wanted to get in position to steal the people's money. Instantly there was bedlam, and the preachers and their sympathizers pressed forward to get hold of the boy speaker, and there were all sorts of threats and menaces. Later it was by vote determined that the young speaker might remain in the meeting, but should have no further voice in the proceedings. To this he assented and the incident closed. Rev. Pinckney was re-elected president of the convention which meets in Savannah next July.

NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEE
LY LETTER
By J. C. Lindsay
The resourceful mind of the founder of the National Negro Business League saw in it the future business possibilities of the race in this country and began the great work of organizing the Negro business men into small groups in every progressive community with the hope that these men and women thus organized might keep up an eternal warfare on indulence, thriftlessness, or any other such thing, as would cause men and women of the race to be careless and indifferent to the progress and enterprise brought into existence by brain and money furnished by members of the race. If Dr. Washington had done nothing else for the race other than organize the National Negro Business League, which inspired and encouraged the greater portion of the states in the union to fall in line and they in turn formed local community organizations, which, when properly followed up, and intelligently cared for have been, and are still now, so much to the community in which they are serving. I say, if he had done nothing else but this alone, this one act of his is indeed sufficient, in its self to crown him the constructive leader of the race.
A Proof of the Statement
Here in Savannah where the Negroes are forcing their way into the business arena as never before during all of the one hundred and eighty years or more they have lived here, much of their activity in this regard, is due, and can be traced to the inspiration gathered from the one man, yea, the wizard of Tuskegee, that optimistic man who made the race, as well as himself, famous in the good year of our Lord 1892, in the City of Atlanta when he turned to his Negro hearers and uttered these encouraging words: "Black men of the Southland, let down your buckets where they are".
Admonition Heeded
The black man of Savannah, which indeed is a historic portion of the Southland, has long since decided to let down his bucket right here and the, the surface of the deep blue business sea may be tears and brine, and because of these unfavorable conditions, the business coward would give up in despair, fainish and die for the want of business initiative, while the optimistic, yet determine business Negro in Savannah has decided to let down his bucket right here and draw fresh and sweet waters which come rushing down from the hills of the mighty Andes, which waters flow as an under current and can only be reached by the man, who possesses the long line of patience, securely fastened to the bucket of hope and drawn by the steady hand of determination.
Negro Enterprises must Succeed When we think of what our enterprises are to the race in the way of furnishing employment to the deserving young men and women who are coming in great numbers each and every year from our various schools and colleges, and when we think of
what Negro banks are to the community in the way of saving their homes and lifting mortgages, plus the prestige they give the race in the commercial world, and the tone and dignity they add to the race in a general way, then, we repeat that Negro enterprises in Savannah must succeed. What is true with regard to the enterprises mentioned above is true also of the insurance companies, drug stores, real estate dealers, or what not, yea, our businesses in this community must succeed.
Negro Business League in Boston The local branch will hold only one more meeting which will be Wednesday evening, August 4th, before the National Negro Business League will hold its fifteenth, annual session in the City of Boston, where the organization was founded by Dr. Booker T. Washington, who has been unanimously elected as its president without a desenting vote for all of these years.
Remarkable Record
During the fourteen sessions which closed with the Muskogee meeting of 1914, it is said that there has never been a point of order raised by any one member on that of any other matter.
Thus you can see, that the Negro Business League stands for what its name emplies. Come early next Wednesday evening and bid our delegate a hearty good luck.

COMMONWEALTH CIRCULAR NUMBER FOUR
Sticking to Our Point
We believe that the only way to organize and operate a gigantic business enterprise is to co-operate. This to us, seems the most reasonable argument in the world. Ninety of us with just a little business determination, within the past few months, have paid in $975.00. All of us are men and women of ordinary standing, who have chosen a few ambitious, honest, and experienced business men as our officers and leaders, and with them, we are making a strenuous effort to sell our remaining $00 shares at $5.00 each by Jan 1st, 1916. A good many of our share-holders have already been benefited thru our loan department, which is as simple and profitable as things ever get to be. We have several small-size but good real estate bargains which we do not care to publish. Among them a nice house in Springfield near Water works. Better come quick. If you are not a stockholder send for circular.
