MASONS CELEBRATED THEIR 37TH
ANNIVERSARY TUESDAY EVENING
Annual Event Attended By Large Numbers of
Masons With Their Families—Grand Mas
ter x Joe P. Bowdoin And Others Made Im
pressive Talks.
Onte of the moat delightful affairs ever
held by a fratetaa! organization in
Cartersville Was the 37th Anniversary
celebration, held by Cartersville Lodge
No. G3, Free and Accepted Masons, on
Tuesday evening of this week.
All the members, of Cartersville
Lodge, and visiting. Masons together
with their wives, children, other mem
bers of their families, and their friends,
were invited to be present, to enjoy an
“open meeting 1 ' of this time-honored
organization.
Mr. Joseph S. Calhoun, a Past Mas
ter of Cartersville Lodge, and an out
standing Masoh, of the* community was
Master of Ceremonies, being ably as
sisted by a committee of untiring and
faithful workers, who were largely re
sponisble for the splendid success of
the meeting.
Mr. Calhoun called the gathering to
order a few minutes after eight o’clock,
and asked the audience to stand, while
the Chaplain, Mr. W. C. Walton, led
in prayer. At the conclusion of the
prayer, the audience Joined in singing
one verse of "America."
Mr. Calhoun expressed his pleasure at
seeing such a large number present,
and called on Mr. H. Grady Davis, the
Worshipful Master of Cartersville
Lodge, to welcome the visitors, one and
all, Mr. Davis did, in a few happy and
appropriate remarks.
Miss Lavinia Sewell was called upon
for a piano solo, and delighted the
large audience with a pleasing selec
tion. .
Mr. Calhoun then intorduced Rev. G.
W. Hulme i pastor of the East Side
Baptist Church, and asked him to make
a few remarks. * 1
“I feel rather out of place trying to
talk to the members of this Lodge,"
said Mr. Hulme, “having been a mem
ber here only seven days. However. I
have been a Mason for more than twen
ty years. Masonry is founded on the
high ideals of morality, brotherly love,
and charity. Masonry is old—no one
kno\vs just how old it really is—it has
withstood the test of the ages, and
stands for all that is noble and good
in mankind,” declared the speaker,
during the course of his remarks.
A feature of the program, which was
very much enjoyed, was the duet ren
dered by Mrs. Bradley Howard and
Mrs. Wm. T. Townsend, with Mrs. Will
Young playing the accompaniment.
Mr. Samuel H. Hiill, the Worshipful
Master of Piedmont Lodge of Atlanta,
spoke for a. few moments on the tenets
of free mosonery "There is no frovolity
in Masonery,*’ he declared. “Some of
you ladies may have the idea that when
your husband goes to Lodge, he is
highly entertained by the secret work.
This however, is not the case. There
is no fun to it. When your husband
goes to the Lodge, he is just as well
off as he could be anywhere else--The
secrets of Masonry are divulged thru
the actions of a true Mason. The wo
manhood of the world will never know
what they owe to the Masonic organi
zation," concluded the speaker.
Mr. Calhoun next introduced Rev. W.
Simmons, of Kingston, as a preach,
er, therefore, a good man; as a Mason,
therefore an upright man; and as a
golfer, therefore a good sport.
Mr. SimmonS said that he was de
lighted to have the pleasure of being
with the Cartersville lodge on such an
occasion, as he took a great interest

in Masonic affairs "I have belonged to
fourteen lodges in Georgia and have
been the Maxtor of eight of them." lie
pointed out. “Naturally, I am pretty
w. 11 acquainted with Masonry in Gear,
gia, and I iovt it. 1 believe that a real
Mason is a working Mason—no: one
who merely ‘belongs,’ and come out
when they have the brunswick stew or
the third degree.'
Mr. Sam Wilkes, a fornjer resident
of Bartow county and well known as
publicity agent for the Georgia Rail
road, was'called on by Mr. Calhoun to
make a few remarks. Mr. Wilkes re
sponded with a few remarks, made in
a Happy vein. He told of how he had
read in a newspaper of the celebration
that the Cartersville Masons were plan
ning, and how he had resolved to at
tend the meeting. He spoke of changes
that had taken place since he had lived
here, and paid tributes to General P.
M. B. Young, Dr. W. H. Felton, Rev.
Sam P. Jones and others whom he had
known years ago when Bartow county
had been his home, while he was rail
road agent at Allatoona years ago.
By special request the audience was
favored by several very happy musical
selections ably rendered by a quartet,
composed of Misses Helen Waldrup,
Octavia Young, Harriet Howard and
Octavia Howard. They were accom
panied on the piano by Mrs. Bradley
Howard.
Dr. Joe P. Bowdoin, of Adairgville,
Grand Master of Masons irt Georgia,
was introduced by Mr. Calhoun Dr.
Bowdoin spoke for some time in re
gard to the Masonic organization in
Bartow county, and in Georgia, and
told of some of the important inci
dents in history that had been accom
plished by Masons and Masonic organ
izations.
"In Bartow county are ten Blue
Lodges, three'chapters and one Com
mandery,” he pointed out. Also, Bar
tow county was the first couryt'y in the
world to prganize a county Masonic
convention. The convention was or
ganized twenty-six years ago, and
has never failed to meet since it was
organized. This year we are planning'
to make a special affair of this conven
tion, and have it in the form of a great
picnic, for everybody."
Speaking of the history of Masonry
in Georgia, Dr. Bowdoin told of how
Oglethorpe, when he landed on the
Georgia coast had brought a charter
for a Masonic lodge, the first meeting
being held under an oak tree, later be
ing known as "Charter Oak.” This
lodge was authorized in 1735, and thus
antedates the Declaration of Indepen
dence by more than forty years.
At this point Dr. Bowdoin enter
tained his hearefs with an amusing
joke on Mr. Calhoun. “After they had
opened the lodge in due form, under the
oak, and everything had grown quiet,
the Master and others present at the
meeting heard a voice, not far away,
repeating the catechism of the Entered
Apprentice degree Some of the breth
ren went in the direction of the voice,
and followed it on out into the woods,
and there, near a stream, sitting on a
'log, sat Joe Calhoun."
This brought on a Convulsion of
laughter, and hone enjoyed the joke
more than Mr. Calhoun himself, who
had referred earlier in the evening to
his extreme youth.
During the course of
Dr. Bowdoin spoke of the Masonic Or
phans’ home, at Macon, where there
are 150 boys and girls being cared for
by the 65,000 Masons in Georgia.
Also, he spoke of prominent men in
American history, who had been prom
inent Masons, among whom were
George Wasihngton, Thomas Jefferson,
Benjamin Franklin, LaFayette and
others.
He closed his remarks with an inter
esting story of one reason why King
Solomon's temple was located on Mt.
Moriah, the story telling of how two
. Kirnd *brp
uFOutCIO ** ’ V "'* -r
wanted to share his worldly goods with
the other.
Following Dr Bowdoin, Mr. Calhoun
replied to his remarks and told the au
dience to remain seated while the
young ladies proceeded to serve re
freshments. He turned that part of
the meeting over to Mr. J. H. Bohler,
‘who had everything f.rranged. Deli
cious refreshments, consisting of ice
cream, cake apd punch were served.
Thus closed one of the most enjoyable
meetings ever held by the Cartersville
lodge. It is planned to hold this anni
versary celebration each year from this
time forward, and make of it a Axed
event in the Masonic activities in Car
tersville and Bartow county.

Insurance Policy
For All Employes
Cartersville Mills
The Cartersville Mills, has again
shown good business Judgement and
.foresight by taking out with ai\ old lins
Life Insurance Company, what is call
ed group insurance, for the benefit of
each (person employed by the Mill.
This policy is paid for by the Mill,
and costs its employees nothing,
A policy is issued to each individual
employe, payable to such beneficiary
as they may name, and is payable with- '
in twent-four hours /nfter dea.h from
anj 1 cause, and for total >, permanent
.d.’sabilhiy.
Each employee is given a $300.00
policy after completing a term of
days employment, and this policy auto
matically increases to $400.0n after a
period of six months, and reachces the
maximum of $500.00 after one years'
continuous employment and remains
in force so long as employed by the
Cartersville Mills.
This will no doubt prove a great
benefit <or these employees, as every
person regardless of age is covered by
"this insurance, and many are insured
who could or would not have any in
surance at all. thereby giving the
members of their families assurance
that there will be no financial em
barrassment in addition to the sorrow
that always accompanies death of a
loved one.
The above is in keeping with the policy
of this Mill towards its employees, as
they are ever alert to adopt any plan
for the benefit of those persons who
have helped to make the company one
of the outstanding successes of Car
tersville.
A Saving Ctub Also
This company also operates a saving
club for its employes which is prqv
ing very popular as more than fifty
per cent of them belong to the one
dollar per week cluß, or the two dollar
per week club, and they have accumu
lated more than 1200.00 during the first
five months of this year.
At this rate they will have saved
approximately $3000.00 by the end of
the year.

Completely overhauled since \he fire
which swept through the building a
few r weeks ago, the Dixie Theater is
again open for business, and is enjoy
ing a liberal patronage.
The wiring in the building has been

Friends of Late
Dr. Felton Invited
To Gather Tuesday
Editor Tribune-News:
A hundred years ago, Dr. W. H. Fel
ton was born in Oglethorpe county,
Georgia, on June 19, 1823. H’s parents
later moved to Athens, Ga„ to educate
the boys in the finest school then known
to the state, namely, Franklin College,
which later became the University of
Georgia. He graduated there; getting
speaker’s place, -then a high honor.
Later he graduated in Augusta Medical
College, the valedictorian of a laigc
class of dociors.
He movfd to Cass eotmty in the year
1847—nearly eighty years ago. From
that time henceforth he was a citizen
of Cass—later Bartow county—to the
day of his death, on September 24,
1909.
' /
I am hoping the citizens of our city
an 6 county will find it convenient and
pleasing to meet on Tuesday, the 19th,
on Hje court house square (and those
who have them will, bring a few flow
ers). and we will have some one who
knew Dr. Felton to tell of something
in which he was concerned, as a sim
ple tribute to a patriotic memory while
w'e are thus assembled.
There will be no brass bands, nor
flag-waving, or any ostentatious dis
play—but a simple gathering of those
he loved and served so well in years
past and gone.
He married more couples and con
ducted more funerals than any man of
his time; and the children and grand
children of these people may be glad
to spend a little while in this way and
pay, thus, a silent tribute to their dead
friend.
As this June day may be very warm,
the late afternoon has been selected,
between 3 and 5 p m., for conducting
the simple service herein indicated.
Kindly give notice to the rural neigh
borhoods and the surrounding towns.
Very respectfully,
MRS. W. H. FELTON.

of Roifie, who will bring with them a
atereopticon outfit, and illustrate some
,of the notable advances in medical
science,
i ' >

ran leave their duties, but Dr. Wilson
secured the’r consent to come to Car*
te.sviiie for the meeting next Tues
day evening. <-%
it is expected tint, iperabers cf the
medical, profession in Georgia wifi also
have a part on the program, and to this
event the ladies as well as gentlemen
are cordially invited, since the topics
for discussion are to be of general in
teres., and n language that the laymen

Cedartown Is
Oppontent Here
Friday; Go To
Marietta Saturday
The Cedartown team comes here Fri
day afternoon for their first game of
the season on the local diamond. Re
ports from there say they have a strong
team, and are coming over to show
Cope's boys what a real strong con
tender they are for baseball honors in
Northwest Georgia. The game starts
promptly at 3 and a good crowd should
be on hand.
Saturday afternoon the locals go
down to Marietta for a return game,
determined to wipe out the defeat ad
ministered by the Cobb county boys on
their visit here the opening game. No
doubt a large bunch of loyal boomers
will accompany them, and keep things
humming with a friendly rivalry.
Score Is Tied.
On Tuesday of next week, Calhoun
again Invades Cartersville, but they
are to be sent home losers. If a deter
mined effort to win two out of three
counts for anything.
Calhoun lost on her invasion of Car
tersville. The same fate befell the
Colts when they journeyed to the Gor
don county capital. It is believed,
however, that the tide will turn again
in favor of the locals, and for that rea
son confidence is felt that next Tues
day’s game will be a win for the wear
ers of the Colt uniforms.
It wifi be a hot contest —just put that
in your pipe and smoke it a while!
