THE ROYAL RED MENI
HOMOB PAST GREAT IMCOHONM
DAMIEL LAST MIGHT
Th* Olympic Theatre ,la Visited By
Distinguished Indians From Oyer
The United States.
THE PROCEEDINGS BYNOPSIZED.
Last night the acene at the Olym
pic Theatre was one that will long be
remembered by every one present and
Che glory of the reflected honor upon
Griffin will still further endear Hon
Bobt. T. Daniel to a penpie that have
always honored him when occasion
permitted and saw nothing strange
when the Improved Order of Bed
Man of the United States chose him
for their Great Incohonee.
He is too well known to require
Chat hie virtues heed be publicly ex
lolled and like Marciua Oeiiw, lets bia
evidence of greatness become him
with modesty and not willingly an
covers them to the world. Yet, this
was a time when diffidence would
have been an evidence of unapprecia
lion and pct to have felt a z glow of
wide would have been ungracefnl to
Ilia people, and ’ Gur Bob" pan never
be that.
Tbs auditorium of the Olympic was
crowded and upon the stage eat the
fast Great Incohonee, Robt. T. Danish
■Great Incohonee, G. E Green, of
Btegfaamtop, N. Y, Great Chief of
Records, Charles 0. Conley, Philadel
phia, Past Great Sachem A. L. Wil*
liams, of Tennessee, Chief of Records
George W. Davie, of Tennessee, and
the local members of the order with
ptheft who were to take pare in the
prograim.
At 7 :S0 o'alnpk Rast Great Incobo
pee R T. Daniel and the visiting
members of the order arrived and
Sachem Lyndon Patterson, who was
Master of (Jerejpppiee,called the meet
ing to order.
Rev. W. G. Woodbiidge in a beautl*
ful prayer invoked the blessings of the
Great Spirit upon the assembly and
asked hie guidance and proteetjop for
Che order and each individual member $
also that the rulers might be given
wisdom from above so that around the
Supreme Council fire that shall be
kindled io the "happy bunting
grounds” all might gather and smoke
the pipe of eternal peace.
This was followed by a beautiful
piano solo: "Polonaise Brilliants,” ren
dered by Mies Nettie Sherwood, after
which Great Sachem of the State of
Georgia, T. E. Patterson, spoke io
welcome. Ho io a magnetic speaker
and io in thorough touch with the
order j
Great Sachem, T. E- Patterson, wel
corned the Great Chiefs io behalf of
the Great Council of Georgia in a short
speech of 4or 6 minutes. He spoke
of the pleasure it gave the members
of the Great Council of Georgia to
welcome them on this mission to con
vey a tribute to Past Great locobonee
Daniel, whom the Georgians loved so
well, and so much loved to see him
thus honored by the Great Council of
the United States He spoke of the
peculiar fitness of this occasion just at
Um conclusion of the war which has
so closely reunited the sections of the
country, but said the Improved Order
of Red Men, an American organisa
tion, bad played a most important
part io restoring the bonds of union,
for they always taught bve for Ameri
can principles and institutions.
Mayor Davis next welcomed them
on behalf of the city. He said :
"Great locobonee and Great Chief
of Records; In behalf of tbe city of
Griffin I extend you a hearty welcome
to our beautiful little city You have
often visited larger and more impor
tant places; you may have been re
ceived with greater demonstration, but
never have you bad a more cordial
and hearty welcome than that which
we extend to you tonight, We welcome
you not only because we are glad to
have you with us, not only because
wo appreciate tbe honor of having such
distinguished citizens anJ such bigty
officials come to our city, but because
of the important mission upon which
you come. You came to pay addi
tional honors tj one of our most prom
inent and influential citizens—one
whom Griffin io ever proud to honor,
one who has reflected fame upon our
city and honor upon himself io every
station that he has been called io fill,
and tbe high esteem in which the
Improved Order of Red Men bo'd him,
but faintly echoes the love, respect and
esteem io which he is held by our en
tire city.'
?*As mayor of Griffiu, I- extend to
you tbe freedom of oar? entire city,
and in behalf of our citisens, I bid you
thrice welcome to our hearts and
homes."
Tbe Schubert (Tub then sung Wieg
ends beautiful "Meadow Song” and
then Past Sachem J. H. Dwewry, on
behalf of the Chickasaw Tribe, No. 14,
in a most impressive manner welcom
ed them. It was a beautiful effort of
this youag orator. H» commenced ;
Ladies and gentlemen and Great
Chiefs of the I O R M —The Great
Sachem of the state by virtae of bis
office has offered you the freedom of
the reservation under bis jurisdiction,
while they Mayor has placed the keys
of tbs city ib your bands and bidden
you act as if it wero all your own. And
now, as tbs chosen mouth piece of the
tribe to which both of these good
Red Ren ows their allegiance, I stand
al the wicket and bid you enter the
wigwam, where with that boundless
hospitality cbaraoteriatio of all true
Red Men, we hope to make you feel
that you are at home.
We would that you had come to us
when
"The Springtime her crown of verdua
wears /
And all the frees on all the hills open
their thousand leaves.”
Or yet in the golden glory of our”
Southern Indian Summer time when
the fields are white with the fleecy
harvest and the woods that crown
these old red Georgia bills have put
on the varied beauties of their autum
nal. But since you have chosen bleak
winter as your time we hope that the
warmth of our welcome will more
than compensate you for the cold and
frost that you have encountered on
tbertrail that led you over mountain
and valley and bill and dale from your
homo in the frosen Northland down
to our Sonny South.
I trust that I shall be able to im
press upon yqu the tribal appreciation
of the honor which you have journey
ed hither from your far Northern
home to cooler upon our brother. We
know and appreciate hie worth, hie
labors a Red Man, and the many vir
tues of which be is possessed as well;
yet it makes us very happy to have
the Supreme Council recognise these
traits in him, and honor tberp. When
you honor him, you honor the tribe
which adopted him, gnd as well the
State which sent him to yoqr council
as its representative ; and I wish to
say to you personally, as the highest
officers of this great order of ours, and
through you to every red man
throughout the length and breadth of
thia land, that tbi» little Georgia tribe
is extremely sensible of the honor you
have done her and her gifted son.
Deep down in our hearts, we (eel it;
md though the words come not to our
lips io express what we would say,
though ths poor words of common
courtesy are wholly insufficient to con
vey the full import of the emotions
that stir oqr hearts, yet we hope that
by our potions, if npt by oqr words, to
make you feel how sensible we ape and
bow appreciative.
Os all the tribes io tbis broad South
land of ours, it was reserved for a son
of this little one to be the firat to wear
the broad sash of purple and gold,
which marks the Great Incobonee’s
station, and tc wield the tomahawk of
supreme authority id redmansbip.
Little twas thought, when thia unas
earning young man first knocked at
the outer wicket of the Great Council,
that his destiny was set so high. Yet
be had been with them but a little
while ere his colleagues knew that a
giant Ind stridden in among them.
They bowed to bis genius, and judging
him deserving of honor, they honored
him. Step by step he mounted the
ladder, until he stood at the topmost
round—the first Southern Incohonee
the order ever bad—and I speak ad
visedly when I say he was the peer of
any.
He gave bis time and bis talents to
the upbuilding of tbe order and it
prospered. It grew and flourished
under bis administration and in ap
preciation of bis labors you are here
to present him with its expressed
thanks. Can you wonder then that
this little tribe’is proud. Aye, she is
proud, proud of her many gifted* sons
and prouder still of this bright par
ticular star that shines so effulgently
from out her firmament. And proud,
very gladly proud, to throw opien her
wickets in welcome to tbe Great Chiefs
and bid them sit down with her sons
about her council fire and partake of
her corn and venison. Again Great
Chiefs in the name of Chicasaw Tribe
I bid you welcome, thrice welcome, a
hearty, honest, beathfui, Red, Man’s
welcome, to our hunting grounds.
This was followed by Miss LrHiae
Patterson, who in a clear sweet voice
sang Campagna’s “Foreboding.”
The response to the address of wel
come was made by Great. Incohonee
George E Green, of Binghamton,
N. ¥.
Mr. Geo, E Green, tbe Great Inco
honee, is a splendid talkei. He en
ters into his subject with great enthu
siasm. He made a capital speech; He
was agreeably impressed, he said,
with the Griffin people. He knew
Judge Daniel so well and so favorably
that be was prepared however io find
everything here that was good and
commendable. You have a delightful
city and a magnificent state and you
have cause to be proud of both
He then spoke of tbe high esteem
in which the order universally held
Judge Daniel, and said Griffin should
be proud of him. His tribute to our
city was a beautiful one.
Mr. Green is a prominent citizen of
New York Bute, and bas been spoken
of for governor several times and as
soon as the New York Republicans
learn to know a good thing when they

Hr. 4 Ireen made a most favorable

Mr:Chas. B Thomas then sung,

to more conspicuous notice, as Great
Chief of Records Charles 0. Conley, of
Philadelphia, arose, and pointing to
that priceless memorial in its gold apt
ting—surrounded by all of the symbols
of the order—more priceless to him
upon whom it was to be
than unearned ermine of a kin ga
thers was a death-lifee stillness, and
his speech was such as all gladly
distened to.
Mr. Chas. 0. Conley, as the Greai
Chief of Records, presented the testi
monial of esteem to Judge
Mr. Conley spoke of the close and
intimate relations that have . exisited
between bimself and Judge Daniel,
flaid that be bad learned to love him
and admire him for bis nobleness of
character, hia fidelity lo duty, his
Unswerving devotion to a cause he
espoused
He told io glowing terms of tbs
brilliant and successful administration
of Judge Daniel. In beautiful lan
guage he told bow the Red Men loved
* Bob” Daniel. How highly they bon
ored him and with what reserve and
respect they added this chapter to -the
crown already on bis bead.
His speech was a most beautiful and
elegant one and was most heartily
applauded.
After the chorus, "Daybreak,” .by
the Schubert Club, Past Great I neo
bonee Robt. T. Daniel arose to re
spond. Tbis voice was choked with
emotion, and there was a glint in bis
eye, as he began to refer to the present
occasion, in a manner that humor was
toned down by pathos and apprecia
tion.
Judge Daniel said in part;
I stand in this presence tonight,
and retrospect a happy past I cannot
recall an occasion that bas given me
the pleasure I enjoy at this hour.
lam delighted to have with me to
night my two distinguished friends,
that you may sae the kind of company
I have been keeping for the past two
years. Mr. Qreeu holds the highest
position in tbe gift of our order. He
is a prominent and distinguished citi
zen of the great Empire State of New
York. Eminent in the councils of hie
party: conspicuous io public affairs j
liberal sod broad minded on all public
questions, be is deserving of all honors
that can be conferred, upon him. In
addition to all these noble attributes,
be has tbe reputation of being tbe
bgndsonmt man in our Great Qoup
pit
With the Great Incohonee Mmes
tbe sage of tbe order, tbe Great Chief
of Records, Mr. Chao. C. Conley, of
Philadelphia. What he lacks in good
looks, be makes up in baldness, and
what be lacks in hair, he makes up in
heart and soul and head. For no
warmer heart, wiser bead or cordial
band, is possessed by any man.
I am glad of this opportunity to pre
sent these two distinguished gentle
mectoyou. And it is with equal
pleasure and pride that I present to
them this representative audience of
Griffin people. For, my brothers,
throughout this broad land, you will
not find a more cultured, refined, gen
erous and gracious people than in this
beautiful city.
The sun, in Its jourse across tbe
heavens, does not kiss the cheeks of
fairer women. The stars in all tbs
universe do not look down on braver
men and women than those who so
warmly and cordially greet you to
night.
He told several very amusing inci
dents that occurred while be was great
Inoohoneq.
And he then aald ;
In endeavoring to discharge the du
ties of the high office to which tbe
over kindness of the brotherhood had
elevated me, I bad two purposes main
ly in view:
Ist. To faithfully <ud diligently per
form every duty, to advance tbe stand
ard of tbe order,' to carry its flag into
new fields and proclaim its beauties
and advantages everywhere.
2nd,. To sound the name of Georgia
in evety State and show tbe world that
a Southern man and a Georgian could
fill acceptably any position to which
he might bo called.
That I have practically succeeded
in thia purpose, is evidenced by this
occasion.
And as I look into your bright and
interesting faces, I see many who aided
and ass’sted me in my work. Friends,
who sympathized with me in my labor
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to tbe pub
lic to know of one concern in tbs land
who are not afraid to be generous 14

•nd rejoiced with me in try success,
your kind words and encouragement
did much to make my administration
a success. As I traveled from state to
state, from city to city, amid ths ap
plause and acclaim of crowded streets
and brilliant assemblies, surrounded
by the joy and happiness of the ban
quet ball, or rejoicing in the genial
dompanionship of the festive board,
say mind would often recast to homo
•nd loved ones and kind frienda, and
never was my heart won away from
’ The red old hills of Georgia.”
Bis acknowledgement of the testi
monial was beautiful and eloquent,
and bis referenee to the Improved Or
derlof Red Men and the record be said
they had made, was a grand and slo
quont effort.
The program was then concluded
by the singing of Schubert’s Solo
“Where is Sylvia” by Mias Annie
Cheatham, the charming guest of
Mrs J. H. Drewry.
CURED OF ASTHMA
After 35 Yean of Suffering-
It will be gratifying to Asthmatic
readers to learn that an absolute cure
bas at last been discovered by Dr. Ru
dolph Bcbiffmann. That the remedy
is an effectual one cannot be doubted
after perusal of auch testimony aa that

beet I ever use 1. I tried it according
to directions, and one box entirely
cured me of Asthma, and I have not
had it aineff I can now go to bed and
sleep al! night with perfect comfort,
which I have not done before for 35
years and I tfiauk you for tbe health
that I now enjoy. I hope that ycu
will pubhdb this letter, that ’ others
may learn of its wonderful virtues.”
