LOU CASTRO WANTED
BY THE MACON CLUB
The New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat of
recent date has the following to say of
Castro, who played last soason with the
Atlanta base ball team;
"Count Lou Castro, the clown of the
Southern League, probably regrets the
day he again signed with Atlanta.after
once getting his release from the Crack
ers. For tho count now wants to man
age the Macon team, of the Sally Lea

manager; but Billy Smith,'the Atlanta

AFTER LAWSON
Brokor on Trial Today—At
tacks Lawson for Bring
ing His Downfall
BOSTON. Dec. «—Cardenlo F. King,
the broker and newspaper publisher
who waged and lost * four years' bat
tle with Thomas W. Lawson and who
has Just written, a sensational book
attacking his enemy, will bo placed on
trfcu tomorrow. King is charged with
the larceny of $39,000 on thirty-one
counts. King's failure, after his long
battle with Lawson, ’and his subse
quent dlsappaaranud. his return to
Boston and his arrest on a charge of
grand larceny, created a sensation In
tho financial circles of the Hub. Be
sides his business as a broker and
promoter, King published a daily
newspaper, and was for many years
himself actively engaged in newspa
per work.
King's Book.
King's book, "The Light of Four
Candles." is a history of the author’s
long war with Thomas W. Lawson,
and It Is as sensational as Mr. King's
announcement, mado when ho re
turned from abroad several months
ago to face the various proceedings
that had been brought against him,
led the public to expect.
When King made an assignment,
last spring, and went to Ceylon a ner
vous wreck, ho was petitioned Into
Involuntary bankruptcy and Indicted
on thirty-one counts for alleged lar
ceny. This, he claims, was all Inci
dental to the Lawson campaign
against him, and as those with whom
he had had business dealings—except
his clients—did not stand up for him
while ho was sway, he does not sec,
ho says, the necessity for protecting
them now that he Is back and has re
sumed business. Therefore, he has
told his story without finding it neces
sary to suppress any names.
Story of Long Fight.
There are fifty chapters and 61
pages In "The Light of Four Candles"
nnd through them all, with the con
tinuity of history and the absorbing
Interest of a novel, runs the story of
King's four years' fight with Lawson.
It is n story of strong fighting,
story of modern finance ns the gamp
la played In "the street." without
mercy for the weak and with no quar
ter to the losers.
Lawson Ib characterized, throughout
the book, as "the hlgh-prlcst of
Thuggee," "the groat charlatan." "the
leader of the wolf-pack," "Calaphaa,”
and other similar names to fit the par
ticular Incident In which he roppeirs.
In a chapter entitled "The Wolf-paok
and Its Leader," King writes:
Knows Lawson.
‘I feel that I know Thomas W. Law-
son—none better. I have watched him
for an aggregate of many hours, with
the trained eye of tho newspaper man.

heard his voice, have seen his manner,

has seen since the days of Law and
the South Ses Bubble.

SPLENDID TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
Td MEMORY OF DECEASED MEM
BERS AT ANNUAL LODGE OF
SORROW YESTERDAY AFTER
NOON.
At the Grand Opera House yesterday
afternoon the annual memorial
vices of the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks were held by Macon
Lodge No. '230. These exercises sro
known as the "Lodge of Borrow" and
are held annually by every Elk lodge
in the country to P«y a public tribute
of rcspec$ to the memory of the broth
ers who departed life during tho pre
ceding twelve-month.
The big auditorium, both parquet
and balcony, was crowded to Its os pa
city, and many had to stand. The
large audience was all attention
throughout the program, however, end
were not only much impressed with
what was seen and heard but equally
an well entertained.
Boated on the stage wer ea consid
erable number of the members of Ma
con lodge, tho stage Itself, being pret
tily arranged with huge vases of flow
ers und an attractive setting. Sus
pended overhead with an elks' head bo-
noatah, jvaa an Illuminated clock whoso
hands pointed to tho hour of eleven.
Besides these devises* wan an Illumi
nated tablet upon whlc.h tho names of
the fobr members who passed away
during the year, were arranged with
electric globes. As tho roll was sol
emnly called by Secretary Wright,
those names flashed u pin order, and
remained lighted, during the r^mglnder
of the ceremonies. The names of Ju
lius Fleischer, Morris Ilnpp, C. H.
Peete and C. Q. Hunt were thus
shown.
Following an Introductory number
by the Elks" orchestra, the exercises
were commenced with prayer by Rev.
Rutherford EW Douglas, tho audience
standing. The ritual work of the
Lodge of Sorrow was then exemplified,
this including the calling of the roll
of the dead and tho singing of an ode
by the members.
The first musical number of the
program was the (rendition ot tho
sacred piece. "Festival Te Deum," by
an octette composed of Misses Good-
all, Wagner, Singleton und Mrs, C. R-
Wright, Messrs. Dun woody, Orr, Ogden
and McCardel.
The eulogy was pronounced by
Brother E. R. Hines, of Mtlledgovlllo,
whose theme was that of brotherly
love nnd charity, and who In ft simple,
unaffected manner delivered one of tho
most eloquent an^ touching addresses
ever hoard In Macon bn n. similar oc
casion. He paid a glowing tribute to
the purposes and accomplishments of
the, order of Elks nrd eulogised the
deceased members In sincere, comfort
ing words.
Shelley's beautiful "Hark, Hark, My
Soul." wus splendidly sung by ft male
quartette consisting of Messrs. Boone.
Orr. Ogden and McCardel, augmented
with tenor obligato by Mr. W. E.
Dunwoody.
A solo, "The Good Hhppherd." by
Miss Idel Wagner, was one df the
features of the program. This num-
bor was followed hy "Safe In The
Fold" bv tho male quartette.
The closing ceremonies were con
ducted by the lodge, benediction being
spoke nby Rev. ML Douglas.
The exercises were presided over by
Exalted Ruler »8ruc» C. Jones, of the
Mncon lodge.

It will be many years before the occur

Greatest Georgia Surprise.
The political year began with the state
primary. It proved the greatest surprise
In the history of Georgia politics. When
the state committee met fa Atlanta early
met spring, nil was quiet and aerene in
the political hnrison. There wax nothing
more than whispered hints of opposition.
Governor Hoke Smith had announced that
ho. would not bo a candidate for the
I’nlted States senate against Benator A.
8. Clay, and Seaborn Wright, of Floyd,
was reported as "figuring" on doing what
the chief executive decided not to do.
It may be remarked In paaelng that
the senatorial contest was the onlv ex
pected early In the year, nnd It failed to
develop at all. Mr. Clay returning to the
upper national house without opposition.
‘ When the state committee met here in
tiie spring all was so harmonious and the
political sea was so bereft of even the
■uKgertlnn of storm that the shaping of
rules for the state prlmnry seemed more
or less of a toke. In fact, the work
was done In spiritless fashion, few of the
- rnimlttees paying any attention to the
icumenta thev were called on to endorse.
T Ids upathy, while Indicative of the se
renity then prevailing, was responsible
for several serious mistakes, of which full

PHILADELPHIA. Pa* Dec. 6.—Ill A
atlrrlng apeech to tho delegate* ot the
federal council of the churches of
Christ In America, the Rev. Charles
Ktelslo, of Now York, declared
that the churches must look after tho
religious and moral welfare of Immi
grants In order to prevent the on
ward march of socialism,
"Whllo our churches are deserting
tho downtown fields In Now York ana
letting the immlgrantii look out for
themselves, socialism Is stepping ln,’»
•aid Mr. BIMzIe, who Is secretary of
the department of church and labor of
the Presbyterian Church,
"Every night »peechos are mado from
boxes In sreet corners and he foreign
ers are accepting socialism. And It
fa not the Christian socialism that yon
hear about, but It Is the socialism thfU
preaches revolution and Is e real men
ace to the country."
Leaves Anti-8sloon League Alone.
The council held but one ssMlon to
day. Among the mattors disposed of
was a request of the Antl-Haloon Le*'
gue of America to InveMtlgate Its man
Hgomcnt, charges having been made
that the loagun Is not being (properly
conducted. The council decided that
It had no Jurisdiction in the matter.
Resolutions were adopted express
ing tho conviction of the federsl coun*
ell that In view of conditions that ex
ist In cities, small towns and rural
communities that the time has come
when the churches should Join their
forces In federated effort and that the
aim should be to make a local feder
ation a means through which the evan
gelistic need nnd morel welfare of the
community will be cared for most
effectively.
A resolution presented by the com*
mlttee on th** church and the Imml*
grant providing that the federal coun
cil urge local federations to survey ths
field, studv conditions and pton the
work of looking after Immigrants was
adopted.
Metsaqs to President
>e following message signed by
Bishop Hendnx. of the Methodist Epis
copal Churoh. .South, who is rwesldsnt
of the council, was sent to President
Roosevelt:
The first federal council of tho
churches of Christ In America, repre

over by Washington, and which made
possible our great and united nation."

Inter, me most serious was that by
which the country counties were dealt
a serious blow In the matter of conven

Miver a Dream of Forthcoming Events.
At that lime no one drauned that a
new atate administration was fortheqm-
l 1 )*' }} J" doubtful If Joseph M. Brown
himself hnd ever given the governorship
a thought. A few of his Trlends had
hinted In whispered tones that he might
be prevailed on tt» be a rnndldate. such
suggestions being usually greeted with
tho merry ha-ha which they seemed at
that time to deserve.
In a fow weeks, however, the Brown
boom was on. In little more then a
month, the former ntilroml commission
er was nn announced candidate against
the governor who had dismissed him
from office. The tug-of-war campaign
which followed will not be noon forgot
ten, and Us result 1s fresh In the publli
mind.
Thefi Came Yanoy Carter.
Then came the conventions, state and
national. William Yancy Carter did i
surprising thing by coming out as an In
dependent candidate In the general elec*^
tlon against Mr. Brown, which occurred
In October. Complexlng tho situation
still further were the ennrildarles of
Thomas E. Watson, for president, nnd
John Temple Graves, for vice president
Adding further to tho medley was thr
only seriously active campaign the re
Publicans had put on since reconstruc
tlon.
In addition to the numerous contests
of state-wide Importance there have
been numerous city nnd county e
palgns fa every section of the state.
Is. to be doubted if since Inst February
any Georgia voter of a political turn of
mind hns hnd a single breathing spell,
for nt nil times somn kind of campaign
has been on. and frequently two or three
at the same time.

Atlanta, for Instance, had two of Its
own. The first wna In the primary, by
which James O. Woodward was made
the nominee, and the other wae the gen
eral election, which occurred last week.
In which Woodward was defeated and
Robert F. Maddox elected. Roth, partic

veritable horde of "Judges" were choasn

tlon of whom comparatively few cltlaens

The coming year will be barren ot po-
lltlcan contest, excepting tho quiet work
which may bo done ns a forerunner for
the state campaign which Is probable
for Ilio. There are no nlectlons for
1909, and the next regular one of state

August 1910.
