NEWSPAPER MAN STRICKEN.
Owner of Washington Post a Victim of
Paralysis.
New York, March 11.—Berlch Wil
kins. owner of The Washington Post,
has been striker with paralysis in the
Waldorf-Astoria He was unconscious
late last night and unaible to recognize
the members of his family, who had
been summoned to this city.
The attending physician said the
life of Mr. Wilkins was trembling In
the balance. Although they hoped! he
might recover, they admitted that the
patient might pass away v at ony mo
ment.
Dr. Wilkins was a representative in
congress from Ohio 15 years ago. With
Frank Hatton, former postmaster gen
eral, he acquired possession of The
Washington Post about 1890. Mr.
Wilkins returned from abroad a month
ago. He has been in ill health for
several weeks,'
The people of Americas and Sumter,
ever bolding in memory the valiant
deeds of our hero dead in gray, will,
with the budding of April flowers,
cover their lowly mounds with floral
tributes and amid exercises most im
pressive.
The programme for Memorial Day
was completed yesterday.
This was done at a joint meeting of
the Ladies Memorial Associati on and
Daughters of the Confederacy. There
was qnite a large attendance from both
organizations.
Col. Napier, of Monroe, a graceful
and very eloquent speaker, wbb selec
ted as orator of the occasion and will
doubtless accept the invitation extend
ed, Rev. J. Logan Irvin, of the
Presbyterian church, will be chaplains
and Prof. J, E. Mathis, marshal.
The memorial exercises will be held
on Sunday afternoon, April, 2Gth.
As this had not been done heretofore,
the matter was discussed at some
length, resulting in a decision to ob
serve the day on which this sacred an
niversary falls
Certain it is, no more sacred oyca
sion iaever observed here,or elsewhere,
and this action of the societies will, no
donbt, meet with general approval.
Thronghout the state Sunday, 20 h,
will be observed as Memorial Dav, and
Americas will do likewise,
Certain it is the attendance will be
far greater than were the exercises
held on Saturday preceding or on Mon
day following, as everyone in the city
and county can attend.
The military will march with muf
fled drums, and gathered about the
speaker’s stand will be the greatest
throng assembled inOakgrove in years
upon a similar occasion. A very bean
tifnl program of sacred music will soon
be arranged for the oceasion.
The Ladies Memorial Association on
yesterday eleeted Miss Maria Harrold
as its honored president for the ensu
ing year.

Referee Proudflt on Yosterday Order
ed This Step.
The Hudson drng store stock was
not sold yesterday under order of the
bankrnptoy court, as advertised. This
wob due to the fact that in the order of

cumbrances, as it seems was desirable,
aud ou this account Referee Proudfif
communicated yesterday morning with
Trustee G. R. Ellis here and instructed
that he defer the sale until a later date.
Tbere were several prospective pur
chasers on band and the stock, no

Lodge No, 752 of tbe Benevolent Pro
tective Order ot Elks ceaBes to remem
ber with bleasure the occasion Tuesday
evening, wherein the Elks, their hon
ored guests and lady friends united in
celebrating the first anniversary of
this flourishing and popular order.
The event had long been pleasantly
anticipated, and its most successful
realization is a subject of sincere con
gratulation in the rankB of Elkdom.
For rarely has a more delightful
event been witnessed in Americus.
The local lodge had as its guests of
honor Mr. E, L. Martin, deputy grand
exalted ruler of the Elks of Georgia;
Judge Shelby My rick, of Savannah,
and Hon. Morris Weslosky of Albany,
who were shown many distinguished
attentions by brother Elks dnring their
very pleasant stay in Americus.
At 7:30 o’elock last evening the local
lodge assembled in tbe handsome
rooms in tbe postofiioe building, where
Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler Martin
met toe Elks iu his high official ca-
pioity.
This meeting was largely attended
and much enthusiasm prevailed.
But there was an even more interest
ing period; that of the reoeption aud
banquet following.
From 9 to 10 o’clock a reception was
held in tbe spacious parlors of The
Windsor, and here the -Elks, accom
panied by ladies, joined in pleasant
social converse. It was a brilliant as
semblage, the beauty and chivalry < of
Americus gathering tbere to do honor
to this splendid order.
The reoeption was followed at 10
o’clock by a sumptuous banquet in The
Windsor dining room, where a Splen
did menu wae served and good cheer
prevailed until quite a late hour.
Covers were laid for one hundred
and every chair was oooupied.
Mr Charles A. Frioker, exalted rnler
of the local lodge and a moat enthusi
astie Elk, was toastmaster upon this
auspicious occasion. Mr. Frioker,
ever genial, was in his happiest vein
and in introducing the several speak
era his remarks were cheery and apro
pos and elicited applause.
Mr. George H, Fields responded to
the toast “Brotherhood.” Mr, Fields
is a secret order man of fame through
out Georgia, aud his remarks were
touching and beautiful. His speech
was received with demonstrations of
gratitude and pleasure from the ranks
of the brothers in attendance.
The next toast wae to “ilie goat.”
This obstreperous animal was not in
evidenoe but Ool. Crawford Wheatley
was well posted on “Billy's” oharaeter
and exposed his inner life in detail,
His speeob wss witty and characteristic
throughout.
Mr. James Taylor responded to the
toast “Beneyolenoe” aud entertained
the company with a feeling and elo
quent history of the benevolence of
the Order of Elks and tbe good these
rollicksome fellows were ever doing
thronghout the country.
Judge Shelby My rick responded to
the toast “Woman," that ever favorite
theme of after dinner speakers. His
glowing tribute to bis lamented broth
er Elk, Cliff C. Olay, whose place he
filled on the programme, wbb touch
ingly beantifnl and wellnigh brought
tears to those who loved him.
Oar Purpose” was the theme of a
very interesting speech by Mr. W. W.
Dykes Jr. The speaker is a zealous
Elk, and eloquently set forth the pur
pose of this order.
Mr. Morris Weslosky, a visiting
brother, responded eloquently to tbe
toast “lbs Visiting Brother” and
clearly evidenced the belief that,
though a stranger iwithin their gates,
be was among brothers trne and tried
Hia speech was a happy one and elic
ited mueh well merited applause.
ToDietiiot Deputy Martin was as
signed the duly of speaking npon
Elkdom in General.”
Though comparatively young in
years Mr. Martin is old in the ways of
Elkdom, and what ho said of this
splendid order and Elks in general cre
ated much merriment and the speaker
was frequently interrupted by deafen
ing applause. His address was indeed
a happy one.
At a late hoar the Elks ‘dispersed,
carrying to their homes the happiest
memories of an evening delightfully
spent.
