Among other things he says :

briefly stated, provides that the
governor inav order the release of
any convict who has served what
would now be the maximum sen

words, if a man was sent up Tor
twenty-five years for a crime that
is now punished by a maximum of

Will Get Back Their Money.
, t A new law of much interest to
the people of this section is the
result of the effort* of Hon. R. H.
A few years ago the State had a
- number of Wild Land sales and
many innocent purchasers bought
lands which they lost later, be
cause rightful owners claimed
them. The purchase price for
.these lands above the taxes and
- costs has been lying in the State
treasury ever since. The law to
afhicb we refer pays back this
money to those who innocently
-bought and lo6t these lands.
Through the kindness of Dr.
Pate we give our readers the text
< f the law and ask our exchanges
popy the same for. the benefit
of those in other sections who are
interested. It is as follows:
„ii RESOLUTION.”
“To refund the amount*, less
costs, received by the
tSute of Georgia from purchasers
of wild lands in the State under
tax executions issued and illegally

the owners, or purchasers, by W.

lodges of F. <k A. Masons and
chapters of II. A. Masons, we have
tonight in your presence performed
the ceremony of installing the va
rious officers of our lodge and
chapter into whose hands will be
entrusted the weal . anti-welfare of
masonry within,. this .immediate
jurisdiction during the coming
year.
As remarks on masonry • are al
ways in-order on occasions of this
kind, I have been assigned the
duty of making a short talk on
this subject before we close to
night, and I take it as a high
privilege to speak in such behalf.
However, when you contemplate
the ancient standing of this re
vered fraternity and reflect that
the tfgtent of its influence is bound
ed only by tbs confines of the
globe itself, and consider the eter
nal principles of truth and-justice
upon which the whole siifieTStruct-

Two important bills for consti
tutional amendments provide that
the general assembly shall meet in
June instead of November, and tor
the increase of the supreme bench
from three justice* to five. There
has bsen considerable complaint
over the present time for convening
legislature on the ground .that the
season was nnhealthy and that it
interrupted the rural members in
the midst of their fall crops. The
increase of the surpreme bench is
urged by nearly every lawyer in the
stute. It is claimed in the first
some clouds of opposition and op
pression have seemed to shut out
its Tight forever. During the dark
ages when all literature and learn
ing seemed to have taken their fi-
nul adieu und religion itself under
went the severe scourge of ignor-
an.ee and persecution—when the
laws of governments prohibited
the gathering of the craft and all
things were adverse; it truly
seemed that time alone would
chronicle the sadjfate of universal
masonic death.
But Solomon was wise and he
knew that truth, a foundation
stone of m«sonry, is eternal and
must prevail, And so when in
the 17th century the King of Eng
land descended to the common
level and stood in search of light
before the peasant in the east, the
drifting clouds were finally dis
pelled; and the glittering star of
masonry shines on in its constant
approach towards its zenith.

The most important measure
bearing upon the schools was that
of Mr. Calvin, which provides for
the payment of school tax direct
to the treasury and for the quar
terly payment of the school teach
ers. The latter point is one that
has attracted great attention and
wa* particularly impressed ucon
the house by the governor in his
message.
The bill reducing sehool boards,
from five to three and paying the
members a regular salary, the same
as other officials, was one of the
interesting and important meas
ures that went through this sessin.
An#ther notable measure was
that abolishing monthly teachers’
institutes. The annual institutes
remain as they are, b it the bill
disposes of the monthly sessions,
which, for a variety of reasons,
had excited opposition in all parts
of the state.

which at the same time claims
such beneficent results- to its vo
taries, there should attach some
interest from the outside world as
to. whether this claim is well
founded and if after all, masonry
is fraught with any good to man.
Upon these questions, I speak to
you to-night as one who is en
thused on the subject of masonry
and who, having been admitted
into the iunermost recesses of the
temple, is highly pleased at the
marvelous workmanship and sym
bolic lessoui resulting therefrom,
throughout its whole extent. .
For nearly 3000 years masonry
h»s existed as an ' order,—and
though during that long period of
time constant changes seem- to
have been the law of mature,
though governments Lave Sprung
into existence, have conquered the
world, and have in turn been over
thrown, though thrones and prin
cipalities have succumbed to the
ravages of barbarous force, and
even the temple of King Solomon
itself, divine in its appointments
and at whose building the first
lessons of truth and charity were
prosperity and depression have
marked the existence of masonry
in Georgia until the past few years
during which its prospects haye
become brighter than ^ever before.
. ..Such, then, is a brief history of
masonry,;, the oldest human insti
tution, in the world, standing out
in this proud prominence, having
left in, the pathway of her exist
ence wrecks of countless other or
ganizations professing similiar
objects—with bright prospects of
attaining a ripe old age co-exten-
sive with that of the world itself,
or so lo.ng as truth has a votary
and charity has an advocate.
As we. thus contemplate ma
sonry in its hoary age, it seems in
this respect to rival Religion itself
which surpasses all other institu
tions in regard to antiquity.
But between Religion and Free
masonry there can be no discord
ant element. I am aware that in
times past there has been an idea
t mt masonry conflicts with Re-
ll ;ion ; but I am -glad that that
fallacy has well nigh been dispelled
and that the light of truth lias
placed Free masonry in its true
'status as the “handmaid of Relig-
i in.”
Who knows better than a mason
hi nself that his obligations can
in no wise conflict with his duties
to his God, to his family, to his
country, or to himself? Tne
Church stands pre-eminent above
all other institutions, it being of
divine origin, and is so recognized
by all'true masons, while masonry
is only a human institution. The
churcli presents to seeking sinners
a plan of salvation while Free ma
sonry has been said to teach men
“of a better life and secretly whis
per of a life to come.”
Yet ‘ there is Religion in Free
masonry; not the narrow religion
of 6ect or creed, but that broad re
ligion which teaches -‘Thou shall
have no other God before me;”
that religion which teaches us
from childhood to old age rever
ently to say “Our Father which
art in Heaven;” that religion
which teaches us to preserve and
to protect the Great Light in ma
sonry which is given as a “rule and
guide for our faith and practice.”
And so long as thousandsof lodges
exist in this fair land of outf, so
long will that many Holy Bibles
be preserved as silent but all pow
erful witnesses before the world
that there is Religion in Free ma
sonry.
“But iu.our sacred brotherhood
as masons, we are taught to know
.go, mail’s party, to pin our faith to
.no. one creed divergent from ourj
own but to meet around a com-j
jnon altar, where peasant is usj
great as prince, where Christian,
.Jyw, and Mohammedan of what- }
ever faith or order, banish 1 dogmas j
creed, theories, vain . disputing*, j
and theological differences, to j
greet each other as the children of
a common Father—and where God
alone is khown and obeyed as the
supreme Grand Master of the uni
verse.
Thus, then, there can be no ri
valry between Religion and Free
masonry—which wants no higher
place nor more honorable station
than to be the “handmaid of Re
ligion.” When this fact becomes
more generally known and realized I
and that to be an upright • mason J
is to be the better citizen in.every
respect, 1 dare say that all ojipp,
sitionwill finally fade away.-,
■ Masonry'Is neither m religious
nor political teacher; although it
requires in its votaries an essential
element ill each;—belief in the
existence.of God and obedience to
law and government. It is a teach

There is never a mason good and

earth, passes out by the tyler here,
and knocks for admission at the

know with certainly that the care
of his family would lie on the
bosom of his lodge, for
“There's never a tear would drop
But some kind hand would steal it:

And never a widow sad,
