4 WOODRUFF'S PLEA AS FILED Showing Why He Should Not be Called Upon to Pay Note. CAUSED ft BIG SENSATION. The Case Has Aroused Interest All Over the State in Secret Order Circles. The action taken by the Odd Fellows at the meeting held in Atlanta this week tn ,which they expelled Mr. D. B. Woodrutf -from the grand lodge of Odd Fellows, bar created a big sensation, not only in the .ranks of the Odd Fellows all over the mate, but among the secret orders gener ally. IMr. Woodruff is one of the most prominent men in secret orders in thrt • tale, and the action of the grand lodge of Odd Fellows is discussed everywhere. The ca c is not a new one in the order, as it is really over two years old, but this is the fir t time that anything in th's con nection has been made .public. IMr. Woodruff's pl< a, filed by his attor ney. Mr 'Marion Harris some time ago will 0»e of interest. It is as folol'ws: And now for further plea in this behalf this defendant says: 1. That he is not indebted to the plain tiff in the manner and form as alleged and in the amount stud for and is not indebted to the plaintiff in any manner whatever. 2. That he did sign and execute two |tiotes at the time stated and forth ■ amount fated and executed the same as they are substantially sot forth in the copies annexed to the petition; but the defendant says that the said two notes were absolutely without any consideration binding in law upon this defendant, and that if there over was any consideration for the two notes that the same has utter ly failed. Defendant says that shortly (prior to the making of the said two notes sued upon the plaintiff hold one certain note of defendant’s for the aggregate amount erf the two notes now sued upon; that the said first note was given to the (plaintiff to pay a subscription to the Or phan’s Home which.the grand lodge of Odd ■Fellows of Georgia at time proposed to build i-a charitable institution to be run and operated tinder the direction of the lodge; that the consideration of this orig inal not was mutual promises, subscrip tions and notes of many other Odd Fellows in Georgia, given to the said plaintiff at or about the same time that the said original (note of the defendant was given, for the purpose of building said Orphan’s Home; that the considerations of said defendant’s ■original note were the promises, subscrip tions and notes of said other Georgia Odd Fellows; that shortly before the defendant gave the two notes sued upon the Grant Lodge of Odd Fidows of Georgia decided not to build said Orphans’ iHome, and all of the promises, subscriptions and notes given by the Georgia Odd Felows for said purpose were annullel and all rtf the notes were returned to the makers thereof, ex- Icept this defaudant’s note was not so re turned. Defendant says that the two notes sued upon represent the said promises to .pay that amount of money by defendant towards the construction of said Orphans’ Home, which notes were given in renewal of the said original note and this was a mere novation, without the slightest con sideration moving thereto, Defendant therefore says that the consideration of the said two notes has utterly failed and that inasmuch as the grand lodge of Georgia, .’which is represented in this Suit by said plaintiff, has cancelled and returned to all the other Georgia Odd Fellows, who subs scribed at the same time as defendant, their said notes and obligations, then these two notes which were given for the said purpoie as stated, .are absolutely null and void. And of this the defendant puts him self on the country. Marion Harris, Attorney for the Defendant. CTVSTOTITTV. The He- • Sinila 1 is o» Jr.-J every F •*’< / • - ’ ■».* wripraj MRS.

Tampa, Fla., May 2S. —The hot weather and the delayed movement to the front has become irksome 'to the regulars and they quarrel regularly. Nearly every day you see pairs go out from camp to a secluded spot and fight out disputes to the finish with fists. After the battle they walk back to camp the best of friends. The Florida militia tried hard to stam pede the 4,000 mules of the regulars. We treated them coldly as a result till after the enlistment examinations were over. Then so many were rejected that we felt sorry for thhm. The rejected sat about with tears in their eyes. They loved the old flag but could not fight for it. Since my story of the attempt of Spanish i Spanish spies to poison the water was pub- I I'ished a guard of eight men has 'been put at the reservoir. Cavalry troopers got into trouble in Tampa, and as a result a regular patrol is maintained there. The discipline is severe.

Many bright hits were made. Another enjoyable fea ture of the program was the joint recita tion of Antony to the Romans and Ham let’s Soliloquy by Miss Clare Johnson and Miss Lizzie May 'Wooten, with amusing interpretations. Schubert’s “La Serenata” was charmingly sung by 'Miss Bond and Miss Wardlaw.

A Beautiful Young Lady From Montezuma Dies in Macon. One of the sadest deaths that has ever ■ occurred in Macon was that of Miss Estelle Smith, at the home of 'Mr. and .Mrs. Em- | mett Hamilton, on Rogers avenue. Vine vine, this morning. Miss Smith's death occerred at 10 o’colck this morning and the remains will be sent to Montezuma tonight for interment. The deceased was one of the most leva- I ble young women that ever gladdened any | home, and until her health failed some months ago was justly considered the most beautiful and must admired young woman in her native town, 'Montezuma. She came to Macon a few months ago and made her home with her cousin, Mrs. Hamilton, who tenderly nursed her throughout her illness. 'Miss Smith was just twenty-one years of age at the time of her death. suddeTdeaTh OF MAJ. WARREN. Former Citizen of Macon Dies in Atlanta—Will be Buried Here. Major J. Frank Warren, a former citi zen of iMacon, died in Atlanta shortly af ter 6 o’clock yesterday evening, and will •be buried in Macon tomorrow morning at 11:30 o’clock, immediately after the arri val of the Atlanta train. The interment wil be made in Rose Hill. Today’s Atlanta Constitution gives the following account of .Major Warren’s death: Major Warren left his home on Alex ander; Street yesterday afternoon shortly after dinner and came to the business por tion of the city, intending to do some shop ping. At 6 o’clock he entered the store at 73 Whitehall street, and receiving the package he had ordered and was waiting for his change when the clerk saw him reel and fall over on his side. A number of people in the store ran to him to ascer tain the trouble, and it was soon discover ed that he was dead. Death came instant ly and aparently without pain. Major Warren leaves a wife, a daughter in-laiw and a grandchild, his only son, S. Frank Warren, Jr., having died some time ago. Until recent years he had been en gaged in the hotel business and in that ca pacity was known throughout the state. At the time of his death he was city weigher of Atlanta. At one time he was head clerk in the Kimball and also the Markham, and enjoyed the esteem and high respect of all the comercial men who came to Atlan ta. Major Warren was sixty-five years of age. He went to-Atlanta from Columbus, Ga.. where he- had his first experience in the hotel business. At the outbreak of the war he volunteered in one of the Georgia regiments and entered the Confederate ser vice with the first troops from this state. His record was a good one throughout the struggle and he rose from the ranks rapidly. Toward the end of the wa r he was made a major and in that capacity he continued until the surrender of General Lee at Apomattox. When the ■war closed he went o Macon. Ga., where he received the position of head clerk in the Lanier Hotel. It was while living in Macon that Ma jor Warren became intimately acqiialntel with Jefferson Davis and made an attempt to release him from the hands of General Wilson, of the United States army. Upon the capture o's Mr. Davis he was brought to Macon ‘under the custody of General Wilson arid a large body of federal tro v-s. Mrs. Davis and IMiss Winnie Davis also came with him and on that account the president of the confederacy was allowed to occupy rooms in the Lanier House, where Major Waren was employed. He ■was guarded closely, however, by the fed eral troops and no one was allowed to en ter his apartments without first being searched. 'Major Warren was a frequent caller and he was trusted by the federal soldiers to such an extent that practically .10 search was made of him when he came to see Mr. Davis. Together with a large number of the friends of Mr. Davis living in Macon Majcr Warren thought of a plan to bring about) it he prisoner’s release from the hand's of this enemies. With a large body of meu I’tpnder the windows of the Davis apart ments lat" at night ready to receive Mi. Davis and mounted for immediate flight:, IMaior Warren agreed to ente- the room in which th? prisoner was confined wi'h a rope wrapped around his body beneath bis clothes, and having tied it to the sill of the window, lower 'Mr. Davis into the arms of his rescuers below. •At the apointed time Mr. Warren gained access to the room without being detected, but upon acquainting Mr. Davis with the well devised plan by which he could gain his freedom, the latter would not lisen to it for a moment. He stated that he had partly given his patrol to General Wilson and would not break it even to save his life. Appeals to him fell on deaf ears and finally the plan was abandoned. lHe, however, expressed his lasting grat itude to (Major Warren for his love and le votion and the manner in which he hal risked his life to save him from prison. tThe act of devotion on the part of (Major Warren gained for him the love of M-. Davis in after years and for some time af ter the incident the two corresponded reg ularly. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. How the Wildcat Loan Companies Rob the Negroes. Editor Evening News: I am glad that you have caled attention to the practices of these money lenders. Perhaps yoti would like to know exactly what they charge. Here are their rates: $1 for thirty days 40 cents. $2 for thirty days 80 cents. $3 for thirty days $1.15. $4 for thirty days $145. $5 for thirty days SI.BO. If you borrow $5 from them it will keep you hustling to pay the interest, an.l the chances are they will get your furniture in the end. Macon has got four of these loan offices. One in 'South Macon, one on Middle street and two in the city. They have pulled since last year twenty or twenty-five loads of furniture and household goods from the homes of unfortunate colored people. •Now tonight some of the poor colored people will go to the loan company and pay them every cent they have and won’t have anything to eat Sunday. They won’: lend white men any money, for they say a white man has got too much sense for them. So you can see from this that the loan is a fake and no good for the city and thelisence ought to be raised from S3OO to SBOO a year for they made fiffity times i that much. The city would do better if the grand I jury will drive these money sharks off the ■ face of the earth. Tom Knight. The f*o- i /Tr s/ : DIED? ’ Inthis city May 2sth Mrs. Mina Block.
