elected a member of tlhe Board of Ed

The election precipitated a differ

that It waa due the Board of Educa

from the Bo;rd 'before proceeding to

ruled the motion of Aid. Clark, second-
by Aid. Allen, to proceed wi.h an
election.

There was no service In the chapel

The special car bringing the body

was deemed wisest to make the cere

would allow.

DEATH REAPS HARVEST
AMONG JUDGES OF TWO STATES
Savannah, Ga., Dec. 7.—Officers and
members of Solomon’^ Lodge of Ma
sons are preparing to celebrate the
175t,h anniversary of its organization,
Dec. 16.
Among the several valuable relics
which this lodge, said to be the oldest
in point of continuous existence in
America, pog3'e!sses Is an old Bible
presented to Iho original lodge by
Gen. Ogleth'orpe, who was the founder
of Masonary in Georgia; The record of
tho Bible is complete. The (title page,
bearing tho signature of the founder
of tho state and the lodge, has been
torn away by vandals, but the book
otherwise is intact. Jt is being pre
served na a priceless heirloom by the
l°dge. ^
AVns Twice Christened.
Tho story of tho town of Suribury
being the birthplace- of (Masonry in
Georgia is said to be mythical by those
best posted in (Masonic history. Tho
town, which Is now dead, was not
laid out until 1758, at 'whfch time
Ogleth'orpe, alleged to have founded
the lodge there, was In England com
manding a division of* the British
army. Solomon’s (Lodge dates from
1735, during which year It wait- char
tered by the Gran'j- Lodge of England.
The original charter, made out In the
name of “King Solomon’s Lodge,”
repudiated by the colonists after they
had gotten'-their first breath of free
doin, and another charter, reorganlz-
"ing Solomon's Lodge,” but ellmioV ,
tug the word "King” from the title was
petitioned for. The original charter
wad brought over by Oglethorpe upon
his first voyage. Tho lodge was prob
ably organized In 1733, soon after the
colony WI.-I3 founded, buit Its official
history can only bo reckoned from the
date of Its charter.
Suvannnli Lodge Is Oldest.
Tbl-j charter was burned during the
occupation of Savannah by -the British
In 1778, and another, the one under
which tho lodge now Operates, was not
secured until 178G. There Is, therefore,
no written record of the history of the
lodge prior to thill time, except as
shown upon the records of th'e Grand
Lodge of England. The verbnl record
has, however, been handed down faith
fully from generation to generation
among tho-members of the craft. The
Charleston Lodge, which' is also known
oil Solomon’s, and the Royal Exchange
Lodge of Boston, both claim to be as
old if not older than Solomon's lodge,
hut It Is said that an exnminatlon of
th 0 records of tho Grand lodge of
England will disclose proofs In favor
of tho contention of tho (Savannah)
lodge.
Tho 175t'h anniversary of the lodge
Is to ho celebrated with democra:'c
simplicity. Tho usual anoiversary work
will bo gone through with, follower! by
tho reports of the retiring officers i
tho election of now onelr, 'It Is

of the lodge will mako addresses, b
