Brother Johnson, you and your children have onr sympathies and prayers; we commend you to the Lord in your hours of sad and sore affliction. M. R. Wilson. igi Mi GEORGIA'S SHAME CONSUM MA TED. The house of Representatives of Georgia on Tuesday, to its shame be it said passed the Glenn bill making it a misdemeanor, the pun idiment of which is labor on the ch>»h'-gang, for a teacher to in struct wbi e and colored children in the same school, by a vote of 124 to 2, the negative votes being cast by the colored members. Hons. A. Wilson of Camden and L. Crawlord of Mclntosh made earnest speeches against the perpetration of the crime against their race and against the Constitution, the common law, and the principb 8 of the Republic Their appeals were in vain and the monstrosity of 1887 was passed by the immediate Representatives of the people of Georgia, ai d we have the spectacle of hypocrisy and deceit held up to civilization of a community who are protesting against the wrongs and crimes perpetrated by a power ful government against the inhabi tants of Ireland four thousand miles from their shores, seeking to de grade and crush a people who have demonstrated that with a fair op portunity are their equal in every sense of the word. Eyery honest well thinking citizen white or black knows that no pub lic exigency required the passage of such a bill. The two races, so called have been getting along harmorniously, and satisfactorily to each other, hence their was no ne cessity for disturbing the existing amicable relations. Our p ople care nothing whether schools arc mixed or not. They have not asked it. But they protest moat emphati cully against the discrimination and humiliation intended to be heaped upon them by the supporters of the Glenn bill. The pioposed law means that its advocates declare that the colored race is and shall ever be an inferior one. We say the assertion is a lie the Legislature to the contrary notwithstanding. The measure will become a law so far as Georgia law is concerned. There may be no case arise under it, but if one should arise will it. can it be enfor vd ? Will Georgia Couit sustain the infamy. "Artesian City.” Albany, Ga., August 1, 1887. Frank Gunn, h brakesman run ning on the B. & W. Railroad from Brunswick to Albany happened with a fatal accident Tuesday eve ning on the freight due here at 7 O’clock A. M.. the coupling pin broke leaving 4 cats in real. Frank being on one of these applied the brakes but the cars jumped 11 e track and turned over, crushing him to death. The sad Hewn was telegraphed his wife who lives here and nis remains was brought in on th- fa-t m»il f>r interment. Be leaves a wife and three children to mourn his loss. Allen Ford one of Albany’s most enterprising drav nien. was «trick«n down Friday morning with paralysis in both arms and legs just as helpless as a piece of rope, of which there is but little hope of his recovery. He is suffering very much. The Grand Convention ot the Benevolent soci ety convened in this city Saturday July 30th at 10 o’cl >ck a. m. Pres ident EL S. D ivis c died the meet ing to order, after singing, and a fervent prater whs offered invoking the blessings of the Creator upon the piece and prosperity of the Societies and this convention. The president then stated the object of the convention which is to make application to the Legislature for h charter to impower them to have a Grand Lodge in th ' State that they can make it a beneficial socie ty paying an endowment at the death of each member. They pro pose to levy a tax from each mem ber of 15 to be paid in 30 days from death of member. There were thirty-five delegates repre senting (7) seven societies, Albany, Jordan Groove, Sheppard, Polmv rer. Oaky Long, and one from Lee, and Baker Counties, each society sending (5) five delegates. The report showed over [2ooo]. Two thousand members ond more than TS 1.000,) one thousand dollars in the treasury. Jordan Groove having ($500) five hundred dollars in its treasury. Each society" s bolding their own money until the grunt for the charter has been received then they will turn it over to the Grand Treasurer. They are having De signs or passwords not any secrets about it, they have an obligation, no person of immoral character can be admitted as a member. Their monthly dues are 20 cents and the initia i >n fees is 50 cents both male and females can be admitted as members. When they first stirted their society it was the object to only care for the sick and bury the dead. But seeing that they could spread their arms of charity over a broader space by caring for the sick burying the dead and have a sum left that soothes the thoughts of the poor widow when death has moved from earth her only support. Since the organization of the society in Albany death laid his chilly hands upon three of tneir members, and all the care that kind friends could bestow npon them was done and they then laid their friend away in a most respeciiul manner. These societies will be a success, if there is unity in this work. “For where there is unity there is strength.” These societies originated from the burial of an Odd-Fellow, Septem ber 1884 at Jordan Grove, by the members of Philander Lodge, No. 232, G. U. 0. of 0. F. of this city those people seeing how they were performing the ceremonies made enquiries what was it and what it cost, hearing the cost resolved to commence them a society. That same year they organized one at that, place and in a year they had them organized in six different place, now they number seven. (7) and are doing a great work relieving the sick and bury the dead. Their officers are as follows: President, H. S. Davis; Secretary, Thomas E. Williams; Treasurer, Joseph Arm si rong. Albany will be the head quarters for the Grand Council. They will meet again the 24th uh. Times seems very dull though rain is plentiful. Alexander H.
