MASONS AT MACON
All the Old Offi eis of the Grand Lodge
Were Re-Elected.
SOME IMPORTANT MATTERS DIS.USSED
.Question of Taxing Masonic Property.
Efiorts to Reduce Milage of Dele
gates Was Voted Down.
The second day’s session of the
Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted
Masons of Georgia was held Wednes.
day in Macon, lasting until 12 o’clock
at night, the night session being de
voted exclusively to the motion to re
duce the mileage of members from 10
cents to 5 cents.
The first business transacted by the
grand lodge was the annual election
of officers, which resulted in the re
election of all of the old officers, as
follows:
Most Worshipful James W. Taylor,
grand master.
Right Worshipful W. A. Davis, dep
uty grand master.
Right Worshipful John D. Harrell,
senior grand warden.
Right Worshipful John W. Akin,
junior grand warden.
Right Worshipful A. L. Rushin,
grand treasurer.
Right Worshipful William A. Woli
hin, grand secretary.
A question of the utmost import
ance not only to Masonry, but to
every benevolent-organization in the
state was a resolution introduced at
the first day’s session of the lodge for
the appointment of a committee to
waste on the comptroller of the state to
ascertain if Masonic lodge property is
taxable by municipalities and coun
ties, and if it is to memoralize the leg
islature to make all such'property
exempt. Many lodges in the state
have never paid any taxes on lodge
property while others have refused to
pay for years, on the ground that
they were exempt the same as
churches and other religious and be
nevolent institutions. Os course, if it
is found that Masonic lodge property
is exempt other orders will claim the
same privilege or if the legislature
should make the Masonic property
exempt it would be compelled to give
all other orders the same recognition.
The matter is one of vital interest to
the citiesand counties, as well as the
state and all benevolent organizations
and the outcome of it will be awaited
with much interest.
Another question of much interest
to all Masonic lodges was a resolution
to reduce the per capita tax that each
lodge in the state pays the grand
lodfie from $1 to 25 cents. This reso
lution has some strong advocates.
The afternoon session Wednesday
was devoted to the hearing of reports
and the question of a reduction of the
milage, and at night the whole time
from 8 o’clock until 12 was taken up
in its discussion and balloting. Three
. ballots were taken before the resolu
tion offered by Past Grand Master
Shannon to reduce the mileage was
defeated. It was a hard fight, and
Past Grand Master Shannon fought
valiantly to carry his point. He had
Deputy Grand Master Davis and a
number of other leaders on his side,
and it looked for a long time like they
would certainly win, but the advo
cates of the 10-cent mileage finally
won. Many of those who took the
lead in favor of the 10-cent mileage
openly stated after they had won the
H People shuddet
when they think
of the possibility
of sudden death
by violence or ac
cident. There is a
sentimental hor
ror attached to
such a death that
makes people
prefer the grim
monster in almost
any other guise.
Yet all the lives that are lost each year by
violence and accident are but an insignifi
cant fraction to the untold thousands that
are slain by the grim destroyer, consump
tion. It is the most insidious and the dead
liest of all known diseases. It knows neith
er rank nor wealth. It attacks people in all
the walks of life. It makes no distinctions.
It has for centuries been considered incur
able. It is not.
An almost unfailing cure for consumption
is found in Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery. It acts directly upon the lungs and
also corrects the aggravating cause of the
disease. It corrects all disorders of the di
gestion, invigorates the liver and makes the
assimilation of the food perfect, thus nour
ishing and strengthening the system for its
battle with its relentless foe. It fills the ar
teries with the rich, pure blood of health.
It builds new, healthy tissue in the lungs
and drives out all impurities and disease
germs. It cures 08 per cent, of all cases of
consumption. Thousands have testified to
their cures. All druggists sell it.
“I was taken sick in February, 1887, with ty
phoid pneumonia," writes Mrs. Henrietta Hart,
of Voorheesville, Albany Co., N. Y. “ I then had
a miscarriage. I did not leave my bed to sit in a
chair till the first of June. I had medical care all
that time. I was so weak I could not turn in bed
alone. The doctor said he could do no more for
me. I was coughing and raising and was almost
dead with consumption. I gave up to die. I took
seven bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery and * Favorite Prescription’ together (not
seven of each), and I was then able to do my own
housework for my family of four. In less than
three years from the tinse I began vour medicine,
I gave birth to a healthy baby girl that weighed
eight pounds; I have had two children since,
and ant enjoying good health now."
Pretty ayes, bright, snappy and full of fire
and life. Constipation makes the blood
impure, and the eyes get dull and heavy,
glazed and listless. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant
Pellets cure constipation speedily and per
manently. They never gripe. They are
tiny, anti-bilious, sugar-coated granules.
One is a gentle laxative, two a mild cathar
tic. Druggists sell them.
NEGLECT IS SUICIDE.
—i— -
Plain Words From Mrs. Pinkham, Corroborated by Mra Charles
Dunmore, That Ought to Bring Suffering
Women to Their Senses.
If you were drowning and friendly hands shoved a plank to you, and you
refused it, you would be committing suicide!
Yet that is precisely what women are doing if they go about their homes
almost dead with misery, yet refuse to grasp the kindly hand held out to them!
It su i c idal to go day after day with that dull, con
/stant pain in the region of the womb and that
’iAil bloating heat and tenderness of the abdomen,
f A' which make the weight of your clothes an
almost intolerable burden to you. It is not
7- J ’/J* natural to suffer so in merely emptying the
£7/ /i} bladder. Does not that special form of suf-
J' \ .. sering tell you that there is inflammation
r: —somewhere?
Shall I tell you what it is?
It is inflammation of the womb!
If it goes on, polypus, or tumor, or cancer will set in.
_ Commence the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. Thousands of women in this condition have
been cured by it. Keep your bowels open with Mrs. Pinkham’s Liver Pills,
and if you want further advice, write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., stat
ing freely all your symptoms —she stands ready and willing to give you
the very best advice. She has given the helping hand to thousands
suffering just like yourself, many of whom lived miles away from a physi-
cian. Her marvelous Vegetable Compound has cured
many thousands of women. It can be found at any
respectable drug store.
Mrs. Charles Dunmore, 102 Fremont St., Winter jMjßßfflk
Hill, Somerville, Mass., says: “I was in paindayand <NHHbX
night; my doctor did not seem to help me. 1 could -“2"
not seem to find any relief until I took Lydia E. I’ink-^y^^PH®'—BßKTy*
ham’s Vegetable Compound. I had inflammation of
the womb, a bearing-down pain, and the whites very
badly. The pain was so intense that I could not sleep at ' &
night. I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for eight |‘VT months,
and am now all right. Before that I took morphine pills for my pain; that
was a great mistake, for the relief was only momentary and the effect vile. I
am so thankful to be relieved of my sufferings, for the pains I had were some
thing terrible. I am, indeed, very grateful for the good Mrs. Pinkhanr’s reme
dies have done me '*
fight that next year t\iey would vote
against it. Consequently, it is a prac
tically settled fact that the next ses
sion of the Grand Lodge will declare
in favor of a reduction. Past Grand
Master Shannon feels that this is a
big victory, as it is really more than
he hoped to accomplish against such
great cdds.

THE SOLID SEVENTH.
There May Be Some Opposition to Judge
Maddox, But He Will Be Re-Eleeted.
The congressional delegation was
increased yesterday by the p rrival of
Judge Maddox, of the seventh dis
trict, and Congressman Carter Tate,
of the ninth, says the Constitution.
The presence of Judge Maddox in
the city caused a good deal of gossip
about congressional conditions in the
seventh. The judge declined to dis
cuss the question, but one of his
friends in talking about the newspa
per reports said: ‘‘lt is understood
that ex-Solicitor Harris, of Bartow,
will be a candidate but it is not be
lieved that anybody else will enter
the race against Judge Maddox. To
us in the seventh district there la no
no surprise in the fact of a Bartow
county man being a candidate for
congress. Ever since Pierce Young
first went to congress after the war,
thirty-one years, Bartow has always
had a candidate for congress. Those
of ns who are friends of Judge Mad
dox believe that he will without
doubt succeed himself. He has made
on of the best congressmen Georgia
ever had.”

GEORGIA LIBRARY CLUB.
First Annual Session Began Hi Macon
Yesterday. Romans Present.
Miss Linnie Hargrove, librarian of the
Young Men’s Library Association left yes
terday for Macon to attend the first an
naul session of the Georgia Library club.
The session began yesterday afternoon
at 3 o’clock and will continue through
today. Miss Hargroves will read an ex
cellent paper today on “How to Advertise
a Library,” and Mr. Hughes Reynolds,
of this city, will deliver an address.
The Georgia Library club was organ -
ized May 31, 1897, at the Young Men’s
Libiary of Atlanta, for the purpose of
stimulating library interests in the state,
encouraging co-operation among libraries
and promoting the modern library spirit.
The field of library work in the south is
broad one, and offers a brilliant opportu
nity for development.
It is the purpose of the Georgia Libra
ry Club to create a public sentiment
which will support the idea of taxation
for educational purposes. The modern
library movement is pre-eminently edu
cational, and the public library is an ad
junct to the public school. It is literary
extension for the masses; the aristocracy
of libraries has been revolutionized into
a democracy.
The officers are: President, Anne Wal
lace, Atlanta; Vice Presidents, Mrs. Mo
ses Wadley, Augusta; Mrs. John King
Ottley, Atlanta; Chancellor Boggs,
Athens, Hon. Harris Chappell,
Milledgeville; Mrs. John C. Printup,
Rome; Hon. 8. A, Reid, Macon; Hon.
Price Gilbert, Columbus; secretary,
Charles W. Hubner, Atlants; treasurer

THE ROME TRIBUNE FRIDAY. OCTOBER 29
SHE ASKED FOR PILLS.
▲ Woman Thought Her Husband Bilious,
but Ignored His Ghastly Wound.
A remarkable story of endurance,
equally remarkable for a singular com
parative view of physical ills, comes
well attested from Twin Creek, near
Portsmouth, O. Frank Horsley, a woods
man, who lives among the rocky hills
of Upper Twin Creek, was out in search
of ginseng root a few weeks ago. He
had taken with him his squirrel rifle, a
short gun about three and a half feet
long. As he was climbing an almost
vertical cliff the rifle was knocked back
ward from his shoulder by the over
hanging limb of a tree. As it fell it
struck another limb and was discharged,
the bullet striking him in the thigh and
coming out at the groin, making a
ghastly wound.
He managed to drag himself back
home, and his wife stopped the flow of
blood and tied the leg up in a piece of
old sheet. Three weeks afterward she
called at the office of Dr. Frizzel of
Buena Vista to get some medicine for
her husband, “pills” being her express
ed preference. He “was not eatin
right, ” she said and seemed to be bil-.
Tons. It waa only incidentally that the
, doctor was informed of the terrible
wound that was keeping Horsley flat on
his back at the lonely cabin in the hills.
They had not thought it worth while
to get a doctor for that, but considered
biliousness an ailment with which it
was not safe to temporize. The doctor
went out to see him of his own accord
at the first opportunity and found him
in a fairway to ultimate recovery, al
though the leg- was terribly swollen
sitll and must have caused fearful suf
fering.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Condensed Testimony
Chas. B. Hood, Broker and Manu
facturer’s Agent, Columbus, Ohio,
certifies that Dr. King’s New Discovery
has no equal as a Cough remedy. J. D.
Brown, Prop. St James Hotel, lit.
Wayne, Ind,, testifies th*>t he was cured
of a Cough of two years standing, caused
by La Grippe, by Dr. King’s New Dis
covery. B F Merrill, Baldwinsville,
Mass., says that he has used and recom
mended it and never knew it to fail and
would rather have it than any doctor,
because it always cures. Mrs. Hemming,
222 E. 25th St. Chicago, always keeps it
at hand and has no fear of Croup, be
cause it instantly relieves. Free Trials

HIS PECULIAR WILL.
Dr. Hair 9 Instructions For the Erection
erf a Monument.
The late Dr. Tyler Hull of Lansing,
Mich , left the following peculiar will:
“There shall be erected at my grave
within one year after my decease a
monument, if the assets of the estate
shall warrant, according to the follow
ing conditions: If my estate shall foot
up to $40,000 or more, then there shall
be erected at my grave a granite mon
ument worth SIO,OOO. If my estate
■hall aggregate $30,000 and under $40,-
000, there shall be erected at my grave
a granite monument worth $6,000. ”
Then there follow six other items
couched in language similar to the
above and being in substance as follows:
“Between $25,000 and $30,000, a $5,-
000 monument; between $20,000 and
$25,000, a $4,000 monument; between
$15,000 and $20,000, a $3,000 mon
ument; between SIO,OOO and $15,000,
a $1,500 monument; between $6,000
and SIO,OOO, a SI,OOO monument; be
tween $4,000 and $6,000, a SSOO mon
ument. ” The last paragraph of the will
provided that if the estate should ag
gregate less than $4,000 the whole ques
tion of a monument should be left to
the discretion of his wife.—New York
Tribune.

Old Indian Woman Took Them to the
Lost Placer Diggings.
Nine years ago two pioneer miners,
Gid Hathaway and John Robinson,
started from German son creek, in Omin
eca (B. C.) district, to prospect the na
tional lake and river country. The next
year their skeletons were found side by
side, they having been evidently return
ing when overtaken by death. Heavy
shot gold was found in their cloth
ing, and it was learned at Fort Macleod
they had paid' coarse gold for supplies
there, remarking that there was plenty
more where that came from. Where
they located the treasure remained a
mystery until this season, although sev
eral lives have been lost in the futile
endeavor to rediscover the lost creek.
Last year seven of the old timers got
together—J. J. May, Captain Black,
William Kenton, John Lyons, Harry
Goodal, Hugh Grant and Ezra Evans—
and agreed that one more move should
be made. So a well equipped expedition
was last June dispatched into the Oini
neca wilderness, starting from Manson
creek, in command of Grant and pi
loted by an Indian woman who remem
bered Hathaway and thought she knew
the country they had been working in.
The path she selected was in the terri
tory of the Stikeen river, little known
to the Omineca Indians. No objection
was made by them to the invasion of
their country, and the stream was
eventually reached where Hathaway
and feobinson had been working.
Abundant indications of their opera
tions were found, besides a cabin par
tially in ruin, in which over SI,OOO in
dust was recovered, stored in a wooden
soap box, which there had been no ef
fort to conceal. Grant and his compan
ions panned the creek in several places,
taking out S3O to S6O daily and imme
diately staking claims for all interested
with them. Their report on returning
to Manson so excited the old Cassiar
miners that a great rush is anticipated
in the spring Colonel Weatherley, a
former Cuban insurgent commander,
has already organized an expedition,
which he expects will be first in the
field. The new creek has been named
Hathaway, and one adjoining it and
equally promising Robinson. New

WHAT WOMEN MOST NEED.
Miss Willard Considers a Better Physique
Ahead of Woman Suffrage*
Miss Frances E. Willard recently said
that the woman suffrage movement is
booming. She believes that England
will be the first country to grant wom
an suffrage. She said: “Lord Salisbury
is for it, and Mr. Arthur Balfour, who
is certainly the coming man in Eng
land, is for it. In the British parliament
one man’s nod controls 150 majority
votes, while in America we have 50
states and a complication of legislatures
to besiege. Blessed be unity in parlia
mentary bodies when a general evil has
to be fought. ”
Referring to the international peace
treaty, she said President McKinley was
for it, and she believed that such a
treaty between England and the United
States would be signed by the spring
and that within a decade there would
be a universal 1 international commission
created to deal 1 with all international
matters and present international hos
tilities. "What womehtoday most need
is a better physique, and that means
nutritious diet, simple# food, loose cor
sets, larger shoes, fresh air at night and
a good supply of red corpuscles. ’’ —New
York Sun.
