MASONS FINISH
ALLJUSINESS
Adjourned the Communication
this Afternoon and are
Leaving the City.
ALL OFFICERS INSTALLED
And Additional Appointments Made
—Close of a tylost Success
ful Session.
The Masons adjourned this afternoon,
after having completed all the business o
the Grand lAxlg<‘. •
The Manon* met at 10 o’clock th.s morn
ing and proceeded to work as usual- 1
was thought yesterday that the business
of the convention could be finished in a
■bort while this morning but it took longer
than was expected and it was after 2
o'clock b« fore the session adjourned.
The first business that came up this
morning was the installing of the new of
fi,, rs who were elected. This occupied
■ome time and it was after 12 o'clock be
fore the session got down to work.
The appointment of the grand chaplain
and the stewards were also made this
morning. The officers at present are:
Grand Master, W. A. Davis, of Macon.
Deputy Grand Master, Max Meyerhard.
of Rome.
C ting Senior Grand Warden, J. D. Har
rell. of Bainbridge.
Junior Grand Warden, Tom Jeffries, of
Atlanta.

Second Grand Steward, James B. Clem
ents, Irwinville.
Third Grand Steward, .A. H. Woodliff,
Oscarville.
Grand Tyler, Thomas W. Freeman, Ma
con.
Many of the Masons left on the trains
this morning and all of the visiting dele
gates will endeavor to get off on the trains
this afternoon.
Many of the Masons received their pay
during the morning and it will probably
take all the afternoon to finish that work.
The reduction of the mileage and the ad
dition to the per diem will not go into
effect until the next session. It is thought
that the mileage will be reduced to the
actual cost of traveling at the next ses
sion, as the present rate of mileage is too
much of a drain upon the treasury.
The session this year has been largely
atetnded and more delegates have been in
attendance than ever before known. Every
lodge in the state was represented and it
goes to show that the Masons are well or
ganized throughout the state. It is ex
pected that the convention next year will
be more largely attended than the present
oir ns it Is expected that several more
lodges will be established.
Hon. 'W. A. Davis, who was yesterday
elected grand master of the grand lodge
of the Free and Accepted Masons of the
state of Georgia, is one of the county’s
most substantial citizens and his election
to the office wil find favor with the Ma
sons all over the state of Georgia.
Mr. Davis was born and reared in Bibb
county. (He comes of sturdy stock and
hepresents to the fullest the farming ele
ment of the state, while at the same time
a man of culture and refinement: per
haps no finer or better representative of
the Georgia farmer could be found. For
the Hst eighteen years he has been en
gaged in the cotton business as a factor
nnd warehouseman in this city and has
•shown his capability as a business man
by hie success.
Popular among the farmers and with
the business men he stands among the
foremost men in the state and possesses
that strong characteristic that wins so
much of this world's good will in that he
Is absolutely true to hie friends and a
man whose right hand never knows what
the left hand does.
When only sixteen years of age Mr.
Davis went to the front during the civil
war. He enlisted In the Second Georgia
cavalry and saw service in the west. He
soon rose to the rank of orderly sergeant
and as such in the absence of the officers
he comanded the company for a time. The
close of the war found him still with the
Be cond Georgia and still an orderly ser
geant. He took part in a number of en
gagements and his army record through
out was in the highest degree creditable.
After the war Mr. Davis returned to
Bibb county and took up the work on the
farm again, managing a large plantation.
«t the same time, in Twiggs county.T,ater
on in life he was elected to the legisla
ture and served with credit to himself and
to the county which he represented, taking
part, and a leading part, in many of teh
principal debates. After coming to Macon
In 1880 Mr. Davis was recognized as a
leader among men and was elected to the
city council where he served for six years
and for four years of that time he was
mayor pro tern of the city of Macon.
After this Mr. Davis retired from politi
cal life of his own volition and prosecuted
his business with marked success.
He was made a Mason in the year 1882
and from that time to the present his ca
reer in that order has been marked by up
ward strides, showing the high estimation
In which he is held by his brethren. He
has held all of the higher offices of the su-
Ibordinate orders of Masonry in the state,
and has been past master of Macon Lodge
No. 5. past high priest of Constantino
Chapter and past eminent commander of
St. Omer's Commandery, Knights Tem
plar.
He has held office in the grand lodge for
the last five years—one year as junior
warden, two years as senior warden and
two years as deputy grand master. His
name was prominently mentioned last
year as the successor to Grand Master
Taylor. but he would not allow his name
to go before the lodge out of deference and
regard to Grand Master Taylor, wnom he
wished to see complimented by a second
term.
Mabel Lodge No. 255 of Macon is named
after one of Mr. Davis' daughters as a
compliment to herself and her father.
Mr. Davis is very prominent in all se
cret order work. He is a member of the
state encampment of the Independent Or
der of Odd Fellows, and has held all the
chairs, including that of district deputy
grand master. He is a member of the
Knights of Pythias, and stands high in
that order.
It may be said In fact that Mr. Davis
as thoroughly represents the great orders
of which he is a member as any one has
ever done and he is an ornament and a
creditable member of all of them.
Tie says himself that his election mark
ed the attainment of one of the great
points to which his ambition reached and
he considers it one of- the grandest en
dorsements that a man can receive in this
life from his fellows.

MR. GUERRY REPLIES.
; He Has Something to Say Alout Council's
Prohibition Resolutions,
The Honorable the Mayor and City
Council: I am just Id receipt of a copy
of the resolution® adopted by your body
last night relative to the pending prohi
bition election, sent me by the clerk In
pursuance of your instructions, and beg
to make immediate reply. I thank you for
the courtesy and for the compliment you
bestowed upon me in assuming that I am
a leader in the present movement for pro
hibition in Bibb county, though it is ra
ther more than I deserve. The truth is
I am only one of the official servants of
that movement, the movement itself hav
ing been by others, who saw fit to call
upon me to act as chairmanof their execu
tive committee, the duties of which I am
only sorry I am not better able to per
form.
I shal turn the resolutions over to high
er authority, napely, the Bibb County
Anti-Saloon League, for such action, if
any, that body shall deem proper, but as
you have seen fit to send it to me I feel
fully justified in making in most respect
ful terms some reply thereto, and in the
order of the resolutions themselves.
1. I trust that there is some foundation
for your statement that “seldom in the
history of Macon have the people of the
city and county been closer together for
the upbuilding of Macon,” but the views
that lead me to the conclusion are entirely
different from yours. Our recent carnival,
although its beauty, if not its success, was
somewhat marred by occurrences that were
natural, if not inevitable, under present
conditions, was a most enjoyable and
creditable occasion. And while many
among us regret that so large a portion of
the money brought here was wasted by
some our guests in the saloons and other
places, instead of spent with merchants
and others who would have given them
something valuable and beneficial in re
turn, there is no doubt that there is among
the successful promoters of the carnival
and the people at large a just feeling of
pride and satisfaction. Very many think,
however, that occasion would have been
' been still more successful and creditable
in all legitimate respects, if the city at
the time had been without ever ready li
quor and its train of evils.
As to “unanimity in the effort to pro
cure the military encampment,” I do not
suppose there was ever a time when such
unanimity could not have existed for such
a purpose. The same trouble, however,
exists in this that does about everything
else. Thousands of men and women in
the city are now dreading the consequen
ces of a large and mixed encampment, on
account of the drunkenness and disorder
and possible bloodshed that may ensue.
Our view is that the people are closer
together than ever before for the upbuild
ing of Macon, in that there is stronger
sentiment among them than ever for pro
hibition, and there is actually an organi
zed and determined movement to destroy
the greatest obstruction in the way of our
upbuilding, as well a§ the greatest cause
of strife and discontent.
2. You complain that the call for elec
tion is made in teh midst of rejoicing and
good feeling. My dear sirs, that is the
very time to have an election. Do you
want the movement started when we are
all already mad?
3. You say “Macon is known to be one
of the most orderly cities in thee ountry.”
If this is true it is not because of the
liquor traffic, but in spite of it, and it is
true because of that public opinion and
sentiment which has (been sustained chief
ly by those who are now working and
proying for prohibition.
4. You say this movement is opposed by
the great majority of our -business men,
property holders, and ALL PEACE LOV
ING CITIZENS, who look With feelings of
dread to the coming scenes around the
polls that must be necessarily enacted.
Allow me to say to you that these opin
ions of yours are far from being correct.
What you say as to ALL PEACE-LOV
ING CITI ?ENS being opposed to the move
ment I know that you know is not a fact,
and I do not believe that you really inted
ed to say it. We are nearly all of us
peace-loving citizens and have behind us
a vast majority of the peace-loving wo
men of the city and country, and you
know it
What do you mean by “scenes around
the polls?” There is in the election no
personal questions, no party politics, no
race Issues. It is a moral and business
question being voted on by men of the
same county, having largely the same in
terests, and claiming at least to have in
view the same—the welfare of the county.
It is an occasion provided for and pro
tected by law, and we are having like
ones about all over the state since 1885,
with most, -beneficent results. Please ex
plain, as your language is liable to mis
undestanding or misconstruction.
5. You appeal to us in the name of our
fair city, in the name of peace and good
will, good order, business interests, etc.,
to withdraw the application for the elec
tion.
In the name of all these things and in
the name of al that is sacred, we apeal to
you, as citizens to join us in the effort to
remove forever from our midst the great
cause of the absence of peace and good
will, of good order and business prosperi
ty—the liquor traffic—and we say to you
in all kindness and brotherly love, that
until this is done, we can never have tha.
degree of peace, good will, good order and
business prosperity to which all of us so
fondly aspire.
If you want real peace and lasting peace
by the removal of the real trouble, instead
. of appealing to us to abandon a movement
> already solemnly and conscientiously un
i dertaken, exert your influence with the
i other side and have them to xoluntarily
discontinue the liquor traffic, and then we
will have peace, blessed peace, without the
I election, and without any of the evils iwe
all so much regret.
> We further appeal to you in your cor
porate capacity to confine your action to
the sphere of your appropriate duties, as
i marked out by our city charter, and to -a-1-
1 low the qualified voters of Bibb county to
exercise their own free wills under state
law, and to determine for themselves,
“ whether business men or workingmen,
> whether property holders or not, whether
I they live in the city or in the country, the
question which you undertake to fore
stall. Yours Truly.

1 MUCH DAMAGE DONE.
’ Mr. Abe Lesser’s Dry Goods Store Flooded
With Water.
? Tuesday the dry goods store of A. Lesser
’ was flooded with water caused by a faucet
? being left open.
f About 6:30 p. m. the porter went to the
p hydrant, which is located on the second
1 floor, to draw a supply of water for sprink
ling purposes. Finding the water supply
s cut off, he neglected to close the faucet.
s Shortly after the water was turned on and
B flowed continuously until 10:30 p. m. when
a Mr. Wright, bookkeeper for the Reid Shoe
Company, which is adjoining, heard the
' continuous flow of water and suspected
something wrong looked through the front
® door of the score and found the entire
' floor was flooded. He summoned Mr. Les
s ser at once, who found that the water had
leaked through the ceiling and very much
damaged the shirt underwear, lace curtain
and table linen departments.
He secured help and by hard work swept
'• the water out of the store by 12: a. m.
While the goods are well drenched, they
s are otherwise all right.

IHERE TO MOSIER
001 THE FIRST
Captain Clarke of the Tenth
Infantry Arrived in the
Citv Last Nifijht.
FOUGHT AT SANTIAGO
And Has Just Come Off of Sick Leave
—He Talks Interestly of the
Campaign,
Capt. Clarke, of the Tenth infantry, is
in the city on mustering out duty. He i
came in last night and registered at the '
Hotel Lanier.
Capt. Clarke has been assigned to Macon 1
to take part in the mustering out of the
First Georgia, which will commence some
time next week.
Two other officers will be here at the
same time for the same work.
Capt. Clarke is just off sick leave. He
went througn the Santiago campaign
and the battle of San Juan Heights with
his regiment, which was in Kent’s bri
gade, and went through the thick of the
fighting. He talks interestingly on the
subject and tells of interesting experi
-1 ences.
Capt. Clarke says that while he recogni
zes the fact that the volunteers of this
country have no superiors as fighting men
in the world, it is fortunate that the force
which fought at Santiago was made up of
regulars very largely. The fighting force
there he said had some exceptionally hard
and trying work to do and the discipline
of regulars was necessary. It was hot
work and the fact that the Spaniards had
the smokeless powder and the American
soldiers were supplied only with the
black powder was terribly against the
Americans.
“There has been some talk,” said Capt.
Clarke, “about the men hesitating and
retreating, but there was no turn back to
those men. I don’t believe that any
enemy, no matter how superior in strength
could have made that force retire. They
were going forward and they went under
difficulties that few people can realize
except those who were actually there and
engaged.”
Capt. Clarke will be in Macon for some
time. He was adjutant of the Tenth regi
ment for some time and received his pro
motion as captain on account of gallantry
i in the field at San Juan.
He says that the three volunteer regi-
I meets at Santiago behaved .splendidly.

ORATORICAL CONTEST
Will Be Held in Atlanta on Next Saturday
Night.
The oratorical contest between the four
leading colleges of the state will be held
in Atlanta Saturday night. Each college
, will be represented by its best orator and
each college will have a large number of
rooters down to cheer their representatives
on. The speaker are: J. A. Moncrief, of
Mercer. He will take as his subject “The
South’s Contribution to the American Re
public.” Mr. R. B. Adair will represent
the University of Georgia and his subject
will be “The New America.” Emory will
be represented by Mr. Frank Palmer and
hjs subject will be “Pro Patria.” Dahlon
ega will send as her representative Mr.
V.’. M. Smith, whose subject will be the
, “Negro Problem.”
Each of the above named gentlemen are
well known orators -and are sure to keep
teh audience interested.
Mercer, who carried off the honors at
• the the last contest feels sure of victory
L again. Some of the students at Mercer
think that Mr. Moncrief is the superior to
Straton in oratory and they feel that their
laurels are in safe hands.
L Mr. Adair, of the University, is another
, orator who is the only opponent that the
, Mercer boys are afraid of.
Three of the judges have selected for
I the occasion and the remaining three will
be selected by Saturday. Those who have
t been selected are Dr. Denny, of Vander-
• blit University, Dr. Greer, of Erskine col
lege. of South Carolina, and Dr. William
[ -Wilson, of Washington and Lee.
, The contest will be one of the most im
portant that has ever been held between
, the colleges of the state. The Mercer boys
[ will go to Atlanta on the Mercer special,
which will leave 'Macon Saturday morning
at 9 o’clock. They will return the same
, night.

ACADEMY TONIGHT.
’ Great Combination of Stars in School for
Scandal. 3
The great star triumvirate Louis James
’ Kathryn Kidder and Frederick will be the
■ attarction at the Academy of Music to
night in Wagenhals and Kemper’s costly
and elaborate production of “The School
for Scandal.” This famous old comedy
appeals at every point to lovers of amuse
ment. Sheridan’s dramatic skill furnishes
forth several remarkable situations, nota
bly the auction of the ancestors and the
renowned screen scene, and its character
izations and wit are of the clear and
forceful species which appeals directly to
the faculty of absorption as well as to the
sense of humor. It is a satire, though it
was produced first over a century ago. so
i universal and permanent are the butt of |
Sheridan’s shafts that today the theme
and the method are as intimate and effec
. tive with us as with our ancestors. The
main personages of the story are a group
of scandal-mongers, a rake of a young
> fellow with a good heart and a prude of
I a fellow with an evil heart, and a young
woman who has married an old husband.
The characters are all well sustained by
the brilliant coterie of players which the '
, management have brought together for
, this important revival of the most perfect
. specimen of an acting comedy in the Eng
a list language.
