Mr. Mewborn v. as burn April Mi*, 1847, in Elbert county, Gr.., and came to Gwinnett county January 1. 1851, and here he has been a resident since a child of four years. He is one left who remembers the days of 1861- 1865, and the hardships of the recon struction days and years, that fol lowed the war between the states. Even though Mr. Mewborn has been in feeble health for the past sev eral years, having suffered the pains of paralysis, from which affliction he is practically an invalid, he still re tains the spirit of life in which he has lived, that contented with whatever befronts him, always jolly, and a smile for all who meet with him. It was a great pleasure for him to honor his seventy-seventh birthday and he expressed a desire that he might be spared to see many more, and those who. met with him on oc casion might be with him again. A regular picnic lunch was spread out in the open sunshine and as the day neared its close, all wished him many happy hours, and returned to their respective homes, hoping to be with him again in 1925.

They were’ known as army lodges and followed their respective regiments throughout the war. In most instances the mem bership was limited to men in the sendee. Lafayette and many other famous men of revolutionary times were raised in these lodges. The lodges that flourished during the American revolution received many heroes into membership during the month of April. Army lodge No. 2", which was warranted April 27, 1780, by the grand lodge of Pennsyl vania for the Masons of the Maryland line, had for its first worshipful master General Mordecai Gist. Gen eral Gist became a Mason in lodge No. 16 of Baltimore, Maryland, April 25, 1775. The first senior warden of Army lodge was General Otho Hol land Williams, who had served as junior deacon of American Union Military lodge at the camp in Rox bury, Mass.; the first junior warden being Major Archibald Anderson, who was probably made a Mason in American Union Military lodge. This lodge, which had its inception in April, 1776, had on its rolls as origin al member such names as Colonel Joseph Hoyt, Major General Samuel Holden Parsons, and Captain William Hoyt Captain Elias Stilwell, of the 3rd Connecticut battalion, was made a Mason in this lodge April 21, 1779. These men were from Connecticut. Colonel John Parke, of Philadelphia, was also an original member. St. Andrews lodge of Boston, re ceived Dr. John Warren into member ship on April 18, 1777. Captain Joseph Davis, who was killed at the battle of Wyoming on April 23, 1779, was later buried Ma sonically by Military lodge No. 19, of the Pennsylvania artillery. General Benjamin Chew Howard, of the American war of 1812, was raised a Mason in Cassia lodge No. 45, Bal timore, Maryland, in April, 1813. He later became grand secretary of the grand lodge of Maryland, and then grand master, in which capacity he served from 1824 to 1841. lUF ; i iffef Brigadier General Nicholas Herki mer, the hero of Oriskany, was raised in St. Patrick’s lodge No. 8, Johns town, N. Y„ April 7, 1768. Columbia lodge No. 91 of Philadel phia had the celebrated portrait painter John Neagle as its master in the year 1841 and 1843. He became a member of this ■ lodge • in 1839 on April 22. Robert Newman, sexton of Christ church, the man who hung the signal lanterns in the steeple the night of Paul Revere’s ride, was a member of St. Johns lodge, Boston. James Knox Polk, eleventh presi dent of the United States, became a Royal Arch Mason April 14, 1825, in Lafayette chapter, No. 4, Columbia, Tennessee. He received Masonic LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, MONDAY, APRIL 14, 1924. i COUNTY FARM PROBLEMS UP Meetings have been arranged in different parts of the county for the next fifteen days to take up the Farm Program that was adopted by the Gwinnett County Advisory Board at the first meeting they held with the Lawrenceville Kiwanis Club some time ago.

Joseph Brant, the Mohawk Indian Chief Thayendanega, was made a Mu son in London on April 26, 1776. His certificate was signed by James Hasel tine, grand secretary of the grand lodge of England. Joseph Brant res cued John McKinstry from being burned at the stake, after McK iistry had given the Masonic sign. The famous {relic explorer, Elisha Kent Kane, took the Masonic degrees in Franklin lodge No. 134, Phila la! phia, on April 13, 1853. His father Dr. John K. Kane, had been Master of this lodge in 1825. Rob Morris, American author and poet laureate of Freemasonry, be came a member of Oxford lodge No. 33, Oxford, Mississippi, in April, 1846, at the age of twenty-seven. He was a most zealous and distin guished circuit rider in the cause of Freemasonry in the south and west, covering thousands of miles on horse back to visit lodges, in the days be fore railways. ‘-■M On Sundays he addressed the people in churches or school houses upon “Freemasonry as Identified with Bible Truth.” In each village he held one meeting at which the women were allowed to attend, which was the inception of the Eastern Star of America. William J. Florence, celebrated American actor, was a member of Au rora Grata lodge of Perfection, Brook lyn, New York. The records of Au rora Grata consistory show that the Lodge of Perfection held a special meeting at the Metropolitan hotel on .Sunday, April 21, 1867, at 2 o’clock in the afternoon, to confer the ineff able degrees upon Brother Florence, who was about to depart for Europe. When he returned from this trip Brother Florence brought back moni torial, historical and explanatory manuscripts which were used in founding the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine in the United States. April 28 has an interest for Masons in that on that day in the year 1737 Frederick, Prince of Wales, was initi ated a Mason by Dr. Dessaugliers, the famous Masonic scholar, at Castle Kew. This ceremony has an added interest for Americans because Lord Baltimore (Charles, Fifth Lord Balti more), proprietary governor of Mary land from 1715 to 1751, inclusive, was present. Lord Baltimore was a Ma son and was the first of the protes tant line of the family. „* ■ MONTHLY CROP REPORT FOR GEORGIA Two great contrasts are presented by the cyop report released today by the local statistician of the Georgia Cooperative Crop Reporting Service, a union, State, Federal and College, agency. The outlook for the apple and peach crops is the best that has ever been recorded. Correspondents of the Bureau now expect 86# of a full peach crop and 87% of afull ap. pie crop. While it is yet too early to forecast the crop with any certainty there is little doubt that peaches will surpass anything on record, unless unusually unfavorable conditions en- sue. To offset this splendid prospect, we have one of the poorest small grain crops we have had since 1918. After assessing the damage done by the winter freezes, it is found that oats will be very much less than half usual, and that both wheat and rye are far below any recent year. A jump of 20% in the early Irish potato acreage has occurred. For many years Georgia has grown some thing over a thousand acres of early commercial Irish potatoes . These were chiefly grown in the Savannah section, but this year quite a num ber of other counties in the coastal plain, such as Thomas, Brooks, Col quitt, Coffee, Pierce and Glynn, will have considerable acreage. In addition to this, correspondents report that many north Georgia counties, such as Polk and Carroll, will have a material amount of first early Irish potatoes. The condition of the crop is somewhat below usual on account of unfavorable weather, but is now improving. Luxomni, Ga., R.

When he first decides to make the race, And better his condition in life, He greets every man and looks him in the face, And ask about the family and the wife| “Howdy do, Bro. Smith! Howdy do, Bro. Jones; I’m delighted to shake your hands; I’m running for office and feel it in my bones That I’ll be the successful man.” He tells the voters what a mistake they’ll make, “Should you fail to vote for me;” He’s running, he says, for the peo ple’s sake, And hopes to make them see. He’s got a grip in his hand like Her cules, And a smile that covers his face; He tells the folks he’s beund to please If only he can win the race. He’s got more friends than all the rest, In fact, he’s simply “It;” And thinks the office deserves the best, And he’s the only fellow that’s fit. He meets the children and shakes their hands, How he loves the little tots! He waves his hat “to beat the band; ’ It\> h.s desire to better their lot. As the d" y u,aws near his sir'ie grows crc.-U, He feels he's Lound to win; His plans are l.xed —his oppon : i s over ..wed, And shakes end shak a again. .Alas, the diy fjr the ela: ji roii ' ’rouv!, The pe >. a ' u*n out to the po!!*; The ballots are counted —the winner is found— There’s a lot of sick “old souls.” We know it’s a “fate” that some must meet, For all can never win; But the fellow that can smile in the face of defeat, The folks’ll want him to run again. But the fellow that’s defeated gener ally pouts awhile, Even “snubs” his very best friends;' He has no smile for the little child, And loses his former grins. The thing to do, it seems to me, Is to continue to shake and smile; And in the by and by the people will CAA Bvv| And the votes will pile and pile. J. T. JONES, . : f. , Buford, Ga. McADOO’S CHANCE IS TO ABOLISH TWO-THIRD RULE By EDWARD PERCY HOWARD Washington.—According to in formation just received here from reliable sources, William Gibbs Mc- Adoo’s forces have in mind plans which, if it be found wise to put into operation, will give the “bosses” of the Democratic National Conven tion the surprise of their lives. Mc-Adoo will enter the convention whh more delegates pledged to his candidacy than any other aspirant for the nomination, possibly with as high as forty per cent of the dele gates pledged to support him, at his present rate of winning primaries. If thia continues, then McAdoo will be in a strong positio, quite as strong, in fact, as Murphy, Brennan and Taggart. His power to throw a monkey wrench in the manchinery will be quite equal with others. The only point is, can he keep it there, or will the old-timers be able to stseal his strength and flatten him out. The deciding factor, of course, will be the uninstructed delegates, and it will be in that arena that the real circus performance will take place. The issue will rest on the abil ity of the McAdoo managers to trade FREE TRIP TO CHICAGO FOR COTTON CLUB BOY MAKING HIGHEST YIELD Athens, Ga.—C. V. Cunningham, state boys’ club agent, announces that the Georgia and the Atlanta and West Point railroads have joint ly offered a grand champion free trip to the National Boys’ and Girls' club congress at Chicago, to be held in connection with the International Live Stock show to the Cotton club boy producing the most cotton on one acre of land in counties which these railroads traverse.

Elsie White, Noted Sing er, Explains Reactions I New York City.—“ Psychoa nalysis was discovered by the first actor way back in the Garden of Eden days," declares Elsie White, who wonders why every body acts as if all these “isms”, they talk so much about nowa days are something new. ‘Believe me, if you couldn’t dive down into unconsciousness ind subconsciousness, you wouldn’t get very, far on the stage,”- she points out. “You’ve got to catalog your audience to see whether you speak their lan guage or not, and before long it’s no trick at all to do it success TWICE-A-WEEK more skillfully than Murphy, Bren nan and Taggert. McAdoo, of course, reeognizes the fact that neither Wall Street nor Tammany want him and that con sequently he will face bitter oppos ition from New York. He knows, too, that under the two-thirds rule he has scarcely a chance to land the nomination under any circumstanc es. However, if he can manage to gain sufficient additions to his back ing from among the unnstructed delegates to total 51 percent of the votes, there is little doubt that be fore the voting begins the proposal will be made to abrogate the two thirds rule and to permit a majority vote to decide the nomination The convention by majority vote can abolish the two-third rule. If that fight be won, then the nomination of McAdoo in practically a certainty. The master card will be played at the convention. If the two-third rule prevails, then the Taggart-Murphy-Brennan forces will block McAdoo and, in turn, Mc- Adoo will have sufficient' delegates to block their candidate with the consequent result that a “dark horse” would be nominated.
