4 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, iDalnbrldgevllle, Ga. John W. Akin, Junior grand warden, .Cartersville, Ga. James M. Kushln, grand treasurer, Bos ton, Ga. W. A. Wolihln, grand secretary, Macon, Ga. W. Hubert, grand chaplain, Warrenton, Ga. George M Napier, grand marshal. Mon roe, Ga. Willard \V. Love, grand senior deacon, Tlfton, Ga. B. F. Thurman, grand junior deacon, LaFayette, Ga. W. iR. Haygood, first grand steward, Madison. Ga. James R. Clements, second grand stew ard, Irwlnvllle, Ga. A. H. Woodliff, third grand steward, Osearville, Ga. Thomas \V. Freeman, grand tyler, Ma con. Ga. One of the Masons said yesterday that all of them had proven to be very faith ful in discharge of their duties and that he thought that there would be no doubt ns to their re-election. The clmmittees of the convention will all hold their meetings today and will re port to the general body at the session tomorrow. The finance and auditing committees held their meetings yesterday and have their reports ready. MASONIC NOTES.

(Advertisement, j 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. - * (Advertisement.) 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. CASTOniA. Bears the The Kind You Ha*e Always Bought J, M. BARNES FOR INGRESS United States Marshal is Re ported to Have a Bee in 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.
