ODDFELLOWSHAVE
MILDJiENSATION
Mr. D. B. Woodruff of Macon,
Seems to Have Given
Some Offense.
SO THEY EXPELLED HIM.
He Talks on the Subject to a News
Reporter and Says He Will
be Heard Later.
A big sensation, so fas as Macon is con
cerned, was sprung yesterday in the con
vention of the grand lodge of Odd Fellows
of the state.
D. B. Woolruff wag expelled as a mem
ber of the grand lodge for having refused
to answer to charges brought against him
as a member of the grand lodge.
Mr. Woodruff drew the plans for the
buifding of an orphans’ home Un Macon.
He presented a bill for SSOO, which was
passed and paid. Upon compliant about
the matter from the committee, he .agreed
to refer the matter to the grand lodge.
A committee was appointed at Macon in
1893, to investigate. iMr. Woodruff agreed
to pay back S2OO of the amount, and gave
his notes for it. two of them for SIOO each.
These he failed to meet.
At Athens last year Grand Master Brand
was instructed to bring suit against Mr.
Woodruff to collect the debt, and charges
were ordered preferred against him in the
grand lodge. At yesterday's meeting the
spfecial committee to whom was referred
the grand master’s report, touching upon
this subject, made the following report,
which as wadopted:
“Whereas, That inasmuch as charges
have been preferred against D. B. Wood
ruff, and as he makes no .response to it,
be i t
“Resolved, That D. B. Woodruff be ex
pelled from the grand lodge for contempt.
“Resolved 2, That Brothers N. G. Blood
worth. R. T. Daniel, J. A. Anderson, A. C.
Ward, J. S. Tyson, and G. O. Berry be ap
pointed a committee to confer with and aid
our attorneys, Messrs. Estes & Jones, in
obtaining judgment against said Woodruff;
suit now pending, as per grand master's
report, in Bibb county court.”
Mr. Woodruff was seen this morning by
a News reporter. He said that the proper
place to discuss the matter was not before
the public or 'in the newspapers, and that
he had no intention of saying anything
about the matter now. He would, how
ever, have something to say at the proper
time.
“Os course you understand,” he said,
"that they cannot expel a mmber from the
grand lodge without a trial, and the su
preme lodge is the place where this mat
ter will be decided. No member can be ex
celled from the order or from the grand
lodge without a trial. So far as the news
paper reports go I have been attacked be
cause of poverty. If it is a crime to be
poor among the Odd Fellows, then I have
been an Odd Fellows for the last thirty
years without knowing that one thing
about the order.”
IBeyond this Mr. Woodruff would not dis
cuss the matter.
The gran d officers elected yesterday were
duly installed and the following officers
and committees iwere appointed: Grand
Thaplain A. C. Ward, lodge 28, of At
lanta; grand master, George W. Gantt,
lodge 5, Macon; grand conductor H. E.
Wilson, lodge 1, Savannah; grand herald,
J. C. Rippard, lodge 97, Waycross.
Committees were appointed for the next
session as follows:
Credentials-Gecrge O. Berry, lodge No.
67, Columbus; C. L. Elliott, lodge No. 48,
Brunswick; T. A. Cheatham, lodge No. 5,
Macon.
On 'Subordinate Lodge Returns—J. P.
Leak, lodge No. S, Marietta; E. L. Mc-
Eachern, lodge No. 6, Columbus; C. A.
Robbe, lodge No. 10, Augusta.
Finace and Accounts—J. H. IT. Osborne,
lodge No. 1, Savannah; W. D. Davis, lodge
No. 20, Griffin: L. P. Auchbacher, lodge
No. 67, Columbus.
Appeals and Grievances—J. A. Anderson,
lodge No. 60, Atlanta; J. A. Carpenter,’
lodge No. 7, Augusta; W. A. Simmons,
lodge No. 29, Lavania.
State of Order—J. A. Smith, lodge No.
28, Atlanta; L. A. McClure, lodge 'No. 34,
Ball Ground; George Lynchy 8 , lodge No.
91.
The main business before the grand lodge
at the opening session was the reception
of the reports of officers.
Grand Master Brand’s report was a
complete resume of the work done by him
during the year. He reported the order in
as .good, if not better condition, than it
has been' in several years past. From all
anpearances there seems to be a revival
of interest in many places which have
heretofore been inactive and apparently
indifferent.
More new lodges have been organized
than for several years. Ten lodges were
instituted in all during the year, and three
Rebekah lodges. Two lodges, Clarke 'No.
3<l. and Glenn No. 75 were consolidated.
The sovereign grand lodge has ruled that
the consolidation of lodges is a matter
for local legislation in each jurisdiction.
'A hile Grand Master Brand approved the
consolidation .referred to, he did so sub
ject to the confirmation of the grand lodge.
There has been no legislation in Georgia
to cover such cases and some will doubt
less be enacted at this session.
\ll the various official acts of the grand
master, and of the deputy grand master,
who served during Mr. Brand's illness, are
given in detail in the report. Considerable
space is devoted to the Woodruff case,
■which may prove a sensational feature of
of the present session of the grand lodge.
Mr .D. P. Woodruff, of Macon, while grand
master of the order, was appropriated SSOO
for the preparation of plans, etc., for the
Odd Fellows’ Home. The work for which
the appropriation was made, it is claimed,
was not done. A demand was made on Mr.
M oodruff for the return of the money. A
compromise was finally effected under
which he gave Grand Master Kontz two
notes of SIOO each, in full payment of the
alleged indebtedness. When these notes
fell due Mr. Woodruff refused to pay
'hem. They were protested and have r»-
matned uncollected to the present time.
iNatice was sexved on Mr. Woodruff May
16th. by Grand Master Brand, to appear
a* this session of the grand lodge and
show cause why the grand lodge should
not take action looking to his expulsion
'Srom that body, as well as from the sub
ordinate lodge in which he holds member
ship. Mr. Woodruff denies the justice and
the validity of the claim.
The report of Grand Treasurer J. S. Ty
son. of Savannah, showed receipts during
the year from grand secretary, of $3,339.81.
and from interest account of $206.49. Th.-
av. rage expense of the session of the grand
lodge for the past ten years is shown to
have been $2,860.26.
This, with receipts, made a to
tai of $7/°-*-®'- The expenditure during
the year was $3..”'7 leaving balance In
hank. May 19. 1898. of s3,l7s®*'. The grand
lodge has as assets bonds of the pa." value
of *«. 136.25. a decrease of $426.42.
The report of Grand Secretary John G.
Deitz, of Macon, shows a membership in
this jnrisdnetion on January 1, of
4 589. iXiring the year 1897, there were
admitted by initiation, 487; bv card l”?-
ind reinstated. 81, a total of 695. giving a
ratal membership in Georgia. January 1,
1898, of 4.861. there having been 728 with
drawals .suspensions, expistons and deaths
The membership, accordingly, showed a
decrease for the year of 28. The member-
MALON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 27 ibg&.
ship of working lodgese on April 30, was
108, and there were 8 not reporting. Os
Rebekah lodges there are seven in Georgia,
with 408 members.
Grand Representatives John B. Goodwin
and Robert T. Daniel, also presented an
exhaustive report. Under the “growth of
the order,” they reported that Odd Fel
lowship in the world shoed w net gain of
6,000 in membership last year. The
strength of the order ds at present as fol
lows:- i. - ,
Grand lodges.... 55
Subordinate lodges. ~ 11,145
Initiated last yar 60,150
Present membership 806.055
Increase for last year 6,070
■Revenue for subordinate lodges
lodges for last year $7,570,028 98
Paid out for relief 3,067,965 81
“It is interesting to note the healthful
tendency in the subordinate lodges to own
their buildings. There ds an activity in
•this direction all over the land. In the
state of Georgia forty-eight lodges own
their buildings or an interest in them,
and rhe value of these buildings ds $138,-
680.00.”
The growth of the Rebekah degree is re
ported as gratifying as it is remarkable,
lit has <been but a few years when this
branch of the order was but a weak and
dependent auxiliary of *h e order. Now it
is strong, active and a powerful aid to Odd
Fellowship. Wherever the Rebekah de
gree flourishes Odd Fellowship is strong
est. IA new and beautiful ceremony was
adopted at the last session of the sovereign
grand lodge of this degree.” The increase
in membership last year in this degree
was 28,998. The present membership .is
281,041. Their reveue the past year was
$416,598.21. The 20th day of September
was fixed as the anniversary of the insti
tutipn of the Rebekah degree, which
should be annually celebrated and com
memorated as such by proper and appro
priate ceremonies.
All the decisions o<f the sovereign grand
lodge are given in abbreviated form in
this report.

HAS RETURNED
The Committee That Went to Chattanooga
After Soldiers.
The committee which went to Chatta
nooga on Tuesday night for the purpose of
trying to secure the placing of some of the
troops in Macon has returned, but .they
did not receive much encouragement from
the authorities there.
The gentleman who represented Macon
was told that the matter would have to be
•brought up before the department at
Washington and he learned that the proper
way to proceed was .to have approached
the senator and representative from this
district.
The people alt Chickamauga have noth
ing -whatsoever to do with the placing of
the troops exeejxt that they may recom
m< nd oui. place over aaot-her after 4 choice
of piac< s has beeu offered them.
Tue utmost that has been done so far is
to secure a recommendation or the promise
of one shoyld the government determine
to make any change iu the place for the
motjilizing of the troops.
-It is possible that spjne of the (roeps
bl ought together f>u [lit second call may
be placed somewhere in this state. But it
is stated on the most reliable authority
that the troops will as far as possible be

ENTRIES ALL IN
FOR HOIG RACE
J, H. Hall Will Make a Short
and a Merry Run for
the Goal.
WIMBERLY NOT IN IT,
He Has Determined Not to Come in
—But Hall Takes His Place and
the Lists Now Close.
It would seem as if all the entries were
in the legislative race and as Mr. Minterly
Wimberly has so rar not announced it
may be put down as a settled fact that he
will not make the race this time. He has
indeed so stated to his friends and his
name need not be considered in the pot.
The removal of Mr. Wimberly as a factor
in the race will make no little difference
to some of the other candidates. All of
them arc at work now and are not letting
the gras;; grow under their feet. Some
oppositicn has sprung up against Hon. D.
D. Craig among the working element, but
those wl.o are conducting his campaign
for him ray that this will make but little
if any difference. They claim certain elec
tion for him and say that nothing can
beat him as he at present tstands. The
friends of Mr. Roland (Ellis say that bis
name will lead the ticket when the votes
are counted on the day of the primary and
Messrs. Reid, Lane and Cooper are run
ning neck and neck. So close are they at
present that it is impossible at this dis
tance to make any prediction as to the re
sult so far as they are concerned.
So far the Candler men have made no
sign as to the delegates they will put out
at the primaries to represent the man
from Gainesville in this county. Bibb is
no longer even fighting ground for any of
the other gubernatorial candidates. Cand
ler will ‘he the choice of an overwhelming
majority of the voters of the county and it
would be entirely too late for any of the
others to make an effort to do anything.
In fact it is doubtful if there will be more
than one set of delegates to vote at the
primary. None of the candidates have
spoken here and it is not probable that
any of them will spare any time from their
campaign to come to Bibb where the re
sult is already a settled fact.
JOINT DEBATE
IN ATLANTA.
Faculty and Students of Mer
cer Will Go in a
IBody.
There was an enthusiastic meeting of
the faculty and students of Mercer held at
the college this morning, at which it was
decided to go to Atlanta tomorrow in a
body composed of the entire school.
Professor (Pollock addressed the boys
and took occasion to tell them how Mercer
boys were expected to conduct themselves
while on the itrp.
Mr. J. E. Briggs spoke briefly on the
same line.
iMr. Willie iD. Upshaw, who has endeared
himself to the Mercer boys by his enthu
siasm in everything that the college is in
terested in, has written a rally song which
the students will sing at the debate in
Atlanta tomorrow night.
Dr. Bloom will also be taken along as a
mascot. He will be decorated in the col
lege colors, as will also the special trian
which carries the college boys to Atlanta.
The University of Georgia and Mercer
University will meet in a battle of words,
repartee and argument at the Grand Ope
ra House in Atlanta tomorrow night. The
two educational instituions have seleced
the'ir best men to contest for the state
intercollegiate debate.
This is the second year the two colleges
have come together, and the nature of the
question, besides the rivalry that has been
aroused between them, will make the
■speaking fierce and the speakers more
anxious to win the decision oif the judges.
The subject to be debated is, “'Resolved,
That the breaking up of the solid South
will be conducive to the interests of the
South.” The men who are to ‘debate have
put much study upon the subject, and it
is said that both sides are 'prepared to win
every point in the argument.
'M.r, R. J. Walker and Mr. C. E. Wed
dington will represent the University of
Georgia, and Mr. J. C. Flannigan and Mr.
John Roach Straton will talk for Mercer
University. These debaters have reputa
tions in the institutions from which they
come for debating, and it is thought that
the best speeches ever heard here by -ama
teurs will be delivered on this occasion.
Large delegations will go from both col
leges to encourage the men to their work
and help them win the coveted honor. The
citizens- and students who will accompany
the boys from Mercer will be very large
and they will be received by the alumni of
the university in Atlanta and taken care
of.
A reception for the boys from Mercer is
being arranged by the Baptists of Atlanta,
and in the afternoon bewteen the hours of
6 and 8 o’clock, a reception will be held in
the lecture room of the First Baptist
church. Dr. Landrum will welcome the
visitors and President Pollock, who will be
there with the students and Maconites, will
respond.
It will be made a very enjoyable occasion
by the young ladies who are members of
the church, who Will meet this morning
in the lecture room of the church for the
purpose of making arrangements for the
reception.
The alumni of Mereer in Atlanta will
meet at the lecture room during the recep
tion and go in a body with the students
