GRAND MUSTER
TO MASONS
Annual Communication Went
Into Session at Ten
O’clock Today.
BIGGEST YET ON RECORD.
Largest Number of Delegates Pres
ent that Have Ever Before
Met in thislCity.
Tbo Free and Accepted Masons of Geor
gia went into th.ir annual communica
ttlon this morning at 10 o'clock in the
Masonic Temple on Mulberry street.
About four hundred members of the
Grand Lodge were present at the opening
session.
The calling of the roll took up a consid
erable time and after that Grand Master
Taylor delivered his annual address which
was very interesting to the Masons.
The grand master's address wan a
lengthy document, but contained notning
of public interestt. The address occupied
considerable time. After his address the
committees on credentials and the grand
master’s address wore appointed. R. I.
Mattie was made chairman of the corn init
io. on credentials and J. D. Shannon
chairman of the committee on the grand
master’s address.
The afternoon will be devoted mainly
to the memorial service® of Dr. W. A.
Jjovo, who died some time ago in Atlanta,
lire ides the resolutions of the committee
appointed for the purpose speeches will 'be
piade.
After the memorial exercises are con
cluded the committee# for the following
year will be api>ointed.
Tonight Mr. W. 11. Keenan, of Augusta,
will exemplify the Master Masons’ degree
to the other Grand Master Masons of the
state. The object of this is to have the de
gree the same throughout the slate. Noth
ing of Importance has yet come up, but it
is not known what may arise.
The regular election of officers for the
coming year will take plaoe tomorrow
morning. I’p to the present imo there
is no opposition to the present officers and
it Is expected that all will be elected.
Grand Master Taylor, in the opinion of
the other members of the Grand Lodge,
has made an excellent officer and will no
doubt be re-elected. Grand Secretary
iWollhin, who succeeded his father to his
present office is one of the best secreta
ries that the lodge has ever had and will
probably hold the office as long as he
wants it . He is assisted in those duties
by Mrs. Wollhin, his mother, who is per
haps as highly honored and deservedly
respected as any woman connected with
.Masonry in this country.
The following are the present officers
who will probably be re-elected tomorrow:
James W. Taylor, grand master, Luther
ville, Ga.
W. A. Davis, deputy grand master, Ma
con, Ga.
J. D. Harrell, senior grand warden,

HEBREW CONGRESSMAN
Has Something Favorable to Say on Subject
of Prohibition.
What does society a*s society do to
prevent its memebrs from becoming crim
inals? Nothing, absolutely nothing. The
church and the miaaio® and philanthropy
and charity and our reformatory systems,
organize* through individual efforts, do a
great deal, but the law does nothing: it
canetions and tolerau® every evil which
brings forth crime as natural product and
throws upon religion and humanity the
burden of responsibility. There will be a
great public awakening upon this matter
at no distant day. We permit a man to be
come a drunkard, license him, a3 it were,
to become one, make a profit out of him
for becoming one and then he docs an act
which is the inevitabeJ result of his un
conscious condition,- we pass statutes
grading off the punishment that he sbail
suffer for doing ‘that w-hich nothing but
the miraculous interposition of Providence
could have prevented him from doing.
We say to him, "You can go crazy. The
law is with you, but when you are crazy'
you must act as a rational creature; If not
the law is against you.”—These are the
words of et-Congressman Hon. Isador
Raynor, of Maryland, at the Hebrew Be
nevolent Society Banquet, Baltimore, De
cember 16, 1897. - *

FIGHTING m_ WHEELER
fights Whiskey and Beer for Sol
diers—Also Generals Miles
and Shatter
Where Will the Money of the Soldiers Go?
The saloon keepers of Macon are on
their heads at the prospects of losing the
trade of the soldiers soon to encamp in
Macon.
The merchants of all sorts who sell
clothing, shoes, groceries and any of the
necessaries or luxuries of life will be the
beneficiaries of all the money that is di
verted by local option from the bar-room
tills.
During the recent war Gen. Nelson A.
Miles, major general of the armies of the
United States, occupying the highest rank
subordinate to the president, issued an or
der, No. 67, in which he prohibited the use
of intoxicating liquors in the army. He
strongly urged all officers to set an ex
ample to their soldiers in abstaining from
intoxicating drink. He passed his order
not on any temperance sentiment, but sole
ly upon the experience of the British ar
mies for the last thirty years.
Gen. Sir Garnet Wolsley, commander
in-chief of the armies of Great Britain, is
personaly a total abstainer, and in all the
campaigns that have taken place for the
last thirty years 'in Egypt, India and the
Soudan has insisted upon the prohibition
among the soldiers of whisky and beer.
In the great forced march which he led
against Arabl El Bey, in which he sur
prised and/ captured the rebels at Tel el
Keber, he sent around his officers before
the march began, and had every drop of
whisky and beer in any of the canteens of
the soldiers emptied on the ground. This
was not on account of the moral principle
of temperance, but because he knew that
the physical efficiency of his soldiers in
the terrible strain about to be imposed
upon them by a forced march across the
burning sands of Egypt would make it
disastrous for them to rely upon the de
lusive stimulus of strong drink.
The result of Sir Garnett Wolsley's ad
ministration of the British army has satis
fied military men nil over the world that
beer and whisky are fatal to the military
efficiency of armies.
The order of Gen. Miles referred to has
been published all over the country, and
is too familiar to be repeated.
A New York paper, the Voice, sent a
copy of this order to Maj. Gen. William
R. Shatter during the recent campaign
and requested a statement from him. Gen.
Shatter replied as follows;
Headquarters Fifth lArtny Corps,
Santiago de Cuba. July 30, 189 S.
The Voice, 30 LaFayette Place, New York:
Gentlemen: I have not seen the order,
No. 67, to which you refer, but I am in
full sympathy with it. T have always been
strongly opposed to the canteen system or
the sale of intoxicating drinks on military
reservations, and have opposed it until ab
solutely overruled and required to es
tablish a canteen at my post. I regard it
as demoralizing to the men, besides im
pairing seriously their efficiency. There
are always in every regiment a number of
men that will, under any circumstances,
get and drink liquor, but the great major
ity are temperate, abstemious men. and It
is to those that the evil effects of the post
exchange system works the greatest in
jury, as the young men who would not
think of going away from the post for
liquor will, when it is placed before them
and every inducement offered them to pur
cheae, do so, and thus gradually acquire
habits of intemperance. The plea that it
furnishes a large sum, which it does, to
Improve the table fare of the men. is. in
my opinions, a very poor one, as the gov
ernment of he United States is perfectly
able to feed its men without any assist
ance from the profits of rum selling. I
HAVE ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED THE
SALE OF LIQUOR OR THE OPENING
OF SALOONS IN THE CITY OF SAN
TIAGO. AND HAVE REFUSED PER
MISSION FOR CARGOES OF BEER
to come from the states here. I think
that the necessity of refraining from
drink is fully realized by all the men. and
of their own accord refrain from drink
ing.
"Very truly yours,”
"(Signed) WILLIAM R. SHATTER.
“'Maj. Gen. U. S. Vol., Commanding.”
Fighting Joa "Wheeler was also called
upon by the same paper for an expression
of Ms opinion, and said:
“I AM A THOROUGH BELIEVER IN
TEMPERANCE IN ALL THINGS. AND
AIM UTTERLY OPPOSED TO SOLDIERS,
BEING SOLD INTOXICATING LIQUORS,
AND I BELIEVE THAT EVERT’EFFORT
SHOULD BE EXERCISED TO REMOVE
THE TEMPTATION OF SUCH DISSI
PATION FROM THEM.”
It appears therefore that if the generals
of the army are allowed to have their way
on the question the pay of the soldiers
who are to be quartered in Macon this
winter will go so far as it is disbursed n
Macon, to the merchants and not to the
barrooms.
Why cannot the good people of Macon
rally to the support of Miles find Shafter
and Fighting Joe TV heeler and aid them
in carrying out their desires for the wel
fare of their soldiers.
SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL.
Old Favorites in a Strong Caste'of an Old
Play.
Playgoers of this city will witness in the
presentation of “The School for Scandal”
at the Academy of Music next Thursday
night the most complete and elaborate
comedy revival seen on the American
■stage in many years. It will be by all odds
the most distinguished production taken
on .the road, for not even the Jeffenson-
Florence-Drew production of “The Ri
vals” had the pictorial embellishment that
has been lavished upon the staging of this
rare old Sheridan comedy. As for the
cast, the names of the three stars—Mr.
Louis James. Mr. Frederick Warde and
Miss Kathryn Kidder —are quite sufficient
to impress the public with the extraordin
ary distinction of the company that will
enact the characters of this brilliant and
breezy comedy.
The spporting company includes Barry
Johnstone. Harry Langdon. Collin Kemp
er. Thomas Coffin Cooke, Miss Loretti
Miss Aphie Hendricks and Mrs.
Henry Vandenhoff.

FOR INGRESS
United States Marshal is Re

His Bonnet.
VICTIM OF THE FUSIONISTS
Fleming Will Certainly Be Elected
But Mr. Barnes Says He In
tends to Make the Race.
The announcement : s made and comes
from Augusta that Mr. John M. Barnes,
of Thomson, United States marshal for
the southern district of Georgia, will make
the race for congress in the tenth congres
sional district against Mr. Fleming. Mr.
Barnes is quoted with making the announ
cement himself and there is no mistake
about bis making the race.
United States Marshal Barnes is a
young man who is personally popular, says
a special from Augusta. He will poll the
registered negro vote in the district, and
will get some of the populist vote, but it
is probable that the majority of the popu
list vote will go to Congressman Fleming,
<who will unquestionably be re-elected.
Even if Barnes could have made a strong
race against Mr. Fleming with an equal
start, he has come into the field too late
to be specially dangerous. Fusion with
the populists could not'lfe effected that
would be bind at this late day, even if
they would be willing to fuse, but Con
gressman Fleming has been very accept
able to all constituents and will get a
large populist vote.
