NEWS OF THE SECRET ORDERS
Conduct*! by CLAUDE NEELY.
Splendid Session of Klioras-
saus—Hilda Temple
Represented.
By W. THOMAS WINN.
Antares Temple, No. 127, Dramatic
Order Knights of Khorassan, held a
vary fine ceremonial session In the <>a-
i sis of Birmingham on last Tuesday
' night.
Tyros to the number of fifty-five
were escorted across the hot sands, and
the Journey was a long and tiresome
i one, but when they reached the "fair
i oasis of the Khornssan desert” there
: was plenty of Zem Zem to refresh them,
1 and the votaries as well as the Tyros
f efljoyed the occasion to the utmost-.
• The members of Antares Temple
I went up from Montgomery and other
| towns in a special train, Jn all about
» one hundred votaries.
On arriving at Birmingham they
‘ were met at the depot by a brass band,
I and, forming In line, they marched to
the hall.
Preceding the ceremonial, a grand
; afreet parade was given, with the can-
; dfdates attired In fastastlc garb. The
Illumination by red fire torches added
very much to the scene.
After the ceremony In Magnolia hall,
the votaries, with the newly made
: Arabs, marched to the new Florence
Hotel, where a sumotuous course bnn-
| quet was served and where eloquence
, and wit flowed as freely as the le
ter which was Inexhaustible.
Suez Temple, of Charlotte, and El
Kedan Temple, of Chattanooga, were
represented. Klbla Temple of Atlanta
was represented by Kirk Kenan and
W. T. Winn.
The occasion was a splendid one, en
joyed by all present, and will probably
result In a temple being formed In the
city of coal, iron ore and smoke.

ODD FELLOWS LOST
FAITHFUL MEMBER
• Piedmont lodge of Odd Fellows has
adopted the following resolution on the
death of Sergeant W. W. Mitchell, of
the police department:
To the Noble Grand, Vice Grand and
Members of Piedmont Lodge, No. 190,
1. O. O. F.
Your committee, appointed to draw-
suitable resolutions concerning the life
nnd achievements of Brother W. W.
Mitchell, now deceased, begs leave to
submit the following report:
Brother Mitchell was born In Oarroll
county, Georgia, on February 3, 1863,
and was at the time of his death In
Ills forty-fourth year. His youth was
spent In his native county. He moved
to Atlanta at the age of 18 years, where
he has resided continuously for nearly
twenty-six years.
He was conductor for some years on
the Birmingham division of the South
ern rnilhvay, formerly known as the
Georgia Pacific road. He obtained this
position after having filled every low
er position and having shown his fit-,
ness by faithfully discharging the du
ties of each lower position in the ser
vice of the road.
During the month of January, 1894.
Brother Mitchell left the service of the
railroad and accepted a position as
patrolman In the Atlanta pojlcy de
partment. The manner in which he
discharged the duties of this position
Is shown by the fact that he was pro
moted from time to time, and at the
time of his death lie held the posi
tion of station sergeant In charge of
the desk at police headquarters.
Brother Mitchell was a member of
the Order of Railroad Conductors and
hail been for a number of years, on
>etober 3a. 1903, during the first year
if our lodge's existence. Brother
Mitchell was Initiated as a member of
Piedmont lodge. His duties with the
police department prevented tys being
regular attendant at the meetings of
lit* bulge, but he manifested his Inter-
st in the order by discharging all oth-
r duties requested of him.
For several weeks prior to his death
he suffered severely from typhoid fe
ver. Despite the fact that everything
which a loving family and the sympa
thetic brethren of his fraternal orders
could suggest was done to relieve and
heal Brother Mitchell, he died on the
11th day of September. 1906. about
1:30 p. m. On Wednesday, Septem
ber 12, his funeral was conducted at
his residence, No. 43 Pluin street, by
the Rev. W. T. Hunnicutt, pastor of
Payne Memorial Methodist Episcopal
church South. After the funeral the
Interment occurred at Decatur, Ga.
Brother Mitchell was modest and un-

It was the consensus of opinion at
the meeting of the board bf health Fri
day afternoon that white labor should
be used in the city sanitary depart
ment in exclusion of colored labor,
which is now being worked. It Is
probable that this change will be made
at the first of next year.
This decision was reached after
continuation of trouble In the sanitary
department where 240 negroes are
workod. For the past six months the
difficulty In holding the men to their
jobs has been especially trying on the
heads of the department and It has
been oft^i the case that there were not
enough laborers to maVi the 90 wag
ons used In cleaning the streetp and
collecting the refuse.
The only difficulty In making tha
change at the present time Is the fact
that the white laborers will have to be
paid $1.50 whereas the negroes are be
ing paid only $1.15. To take care of
this difference a special appropriation
would have to be made. It is lmpos
stble at the present state of the city
treasury.
Dr. Benson, president of the board of
health, said that the scum of the earth
was being worked In the department
and that he was sure t\' a small In
lease white labor could be secured.
The secretary of the board was In
8tructed to make his estimate for the
coming yenr on the white labor basis.
Chief John Jentzen said Saturday:
“The Increase in wages will be more
than made up for In the work done
and the steadiness of the labor. The
hange w4ll be a good one.”

Savannah, Ga.. Sept. 29.—D. L. Rob

at the Central hotel. The man claims
that he counted his money before re
tiring and placed hi* trousers contain
ing the money under his head. When
he awoke early In the morning the
trouser* were on the floor and the
money gone.
GET NEGROES FINED
Accused of Indulging In rlotou* talk, Mary
Lilly nnd Dick Blair, negroe*. wore Satur
day morning each fined $25.75 by Recorder
Broyles.
The negroes were nrreated by County Po
liceman Dunbar nt the Instance of a white

AN ATLANTA SUB
SCRIPTION AGENCY.
The season has arrived when the
subscription agencies will flood the
country with their cut-rate magazine
combination*. The average citizen
hasn’t time to study these out. If he
did he does not care to buy three or
four inngazlnes that he does not want
In. order to get a reduced price on one
that he does want. These combina
tions seldom suit anybody. Besides,
some Hgencle* get money, turn It In to
the magazines and then wash their
hands of all further responsibility. If
your magazines does not come It makes
no difference to the average agency.
The Co-operative Book Company, of
97 1-2 Peachtree street, an incorporated
Institution, hacked by some of the best
business men In Atlanta, has been re
cently organized for the purpose of
operating a subscription agency and a
mall order bqok business that will be
reliable, and as cheap as the cheapest
They guarantee to give you the best
cut rates possible on magazines, and
to save you money on any book pub
lished. They allow you to make your
own list, and when they have received
your money they guarantee delivery of
your magazines. Mr. E. C. Merry, a
former educator, and Professor J. L.
Caldwell, well known in educational
circles In several states, are In active
control of the business. Atlanta people
can turn their subscriptions over to
them with confidence and thus not
only save money, but save the trouble
of sending off their remittances to
other agencies and publishers, from
whom they may never hear again if
delinquencies are to be righted.
