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.

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. Notes Taken On the Run. Mr. B. F.

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 olaced in Florida in order that they may ■bv-coZ’ 6 acclimatized.

CTLSWOni A,. ’i.T.r . 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.
