To Keep
September about the 20th, and In my
opinion this is the largebt and grand-
je/1 secular convention that meets In
the United States and Canada. I be
lieve that It will be the first time that
this ixidge ever met In Georgia.
The lcglslaive body is composed of
about tw$ hundred members and Is
a very dignified body. The total at
tendance will be about fqrty thouau
At Toronto, Cauada in laois, the crowd
waa^estlimited at more than forty
thousand. Every Odd Fellow, that
can ought to avail himself of the op
portunity of seeing this great gather
ing, and witness the parade. In To
ronto, four years 'ago the procession
was more than two miles long.
Now, in order to attend this con
vention, you must be u member of the
Subordinate Lodge, a member of tho
Encampment in the Royal Purple De
gree and a member of the Rebecca
Branch of the Order and ln good stand*
ing ln all three. At the Subordinate
Lodge Meeting last Wednesday night,
the question was discussed with the
vlpw of reviving our Encampment
and twenty members who were pres
ent signified their Intention of join
ing,
Brother Wn. McCormick of Fitz
gerald, ckgnd Patriarch of Georgia,
haw been^Invited to come to Way-
cress for the purpose of reviving that
Branch of our Noble Order. You will
find the prettiest part of the Odd Fel
lowship in these degrees and the cost
is very small.
•Let every Odd Fellow that will Join
this Branch of the Order be at the
Lodge meeting next Wednesday
and give your name to the Secretary,
Brother LeCounte; also you must Join
the Rebecc^pranch of -this order If
you expect gp attend ;the meeting In
Atlanta in September.
It Is worth the trip to Atlanta to
see this great parade. This body may
never meet in Geogrla again.
Yours fraternally,
John W. Bennett.

men served to tint the procession with
just enough martial color to ipake it
form a fitting preliminary to the un
veiling of the bronze monument to
the famous soldier.

Thu interesting feature of lie entire
contest is.the split In the Democratic
party between the supporters and oo-
ponents of Governor Malcolm S. Pat
terson, who Is n candidate for renom-
Instlon. The light hinges on ’ the ac
tion of Governor Patterson In pardop
ing Col. Duncan B. Cooper, convicted
of the murder of former senator Car
mack, on the same day that the Stas,
Supremo Court sustained the sentence
of twenty years'against Cooper. !j,
The action of the governor *caj|pj|
forth a bitter protest from tho Judg
es of the Supreme Court, whereupon
Governor Patterson and tho Democrat
ic party machine Immediately began
to lay plana to defeat the re-election
: f tho three Judges who would not
ur roe with the Governor ln isvorlng
the uMi-Carraack faction.
Heretofore, the Judiciary homlna
tlons has been kept out of tho general
primaries, but Gov. Patterson at once
ordered that.three candidates in sym
pathy with his causa be nominated la
today's primaries to defeat tho three
Independent Justices.
In retaliation Independent Demo-,
crats, or those oppoaod to the Gov
ernor's course In reipecf to the Judt- .
clary, hold a mass convention In this
city two weeks ago apd nominated an
Independeht.ttclmt for the-State Su
preme Court and the Court of Civil
Appeals. This means two sets of Dero-
oeratfe csndldtes in tho Held tor
plscos on tho bench. The Republicans ,
of the state have given their assist.:
farlnlng from nominating'oppoents to
the three Democratic Judges Governor
Patterson wants rejected. ■
