Splendid Session of Khoras-
saus—Kibla Temple
Represented.
By W. THOMAS WINN.
Antares Temple, No. 127, Dramatic
Order Knights of Khorassan, held a
r very fine c eremonial session In the Oa
sis of Birmingham on last Tuesday
night.
Tyros t<? the number of fifty-five
were escorted across the hot sands, and
' the Journey was a long and tiresome
one, but when they reached the "fair
' oasis of the Khorassan desert” there
1 was plenty of Zero Zem to refresh them,
t and the votaries as well as the Tyros
( enjoyed the occasion to the utmost.
I The members of Antares Temple
I went up from Montgomery and other
I towns in n special train, In all about
one hundred votaries.
On arriving at Birmingham they
j were met at the depot by a brass hand,
; and, forming in line, they marched to
the hall.
Preceding the ceremonial, a grand
Street parade was given, with the can-
! dldates attired In fastastlc garb. The
illumination by red Are torches added
^ery much to the scene.
After the ceremony In Magnolia hall,
the votaries, with the newly made
, Arabs, marched to the new Florence
Hotel, where a sumntuous course ban
quet was served and where eloquence
. and wit flowed as freely as the Ice wi
ter which was inexhaustible.
Suer. Temple, of Charlotte, and El
Kednn Temple, of Chattanooga, were
represented. Kibla Temple of Atlanta
was represented by Kirk Kenan and
W. T. Winn.
The occasion was a splendid one, en
joyed by all present, and will probably
result In a temple being formed in the
city of coal, iron ore and smoke.

FELLOWS LOST
FAITHFUL MEMBER
Piedmont lodge of Odd Fellows has
adopted the following resolution on the
death of Sergeant W. W. Mitchell, of
the police department:
To the Noble Grand, Vice Grand and
Members of Piedmont Lodge, No. 190,
I. O. O. F.
Your committee, appointed to draw’
suitable resolutions concerning the life
nnd achievements of Brother W. W.
Mitchell, now' deceased, begs leave to
submit the following report:
Brother Mitchell was born In Carroll
county, Georgia, on February 3, 1863,
and was at the time of his death In
his forty-fourth year. His youth was
spent In his native county. He moved
to Atlanta at the age of 18 years, w’here
he has resided continuously for nearly
twenty-six years.
He was conductor for some years on
the Birmingham division of the South
ern railway, formerly known as t^e
Georgia Pacific road. He obtained this
position after having filled every low
er position and having shown his fit
ness by faithfully discharging the du
ties of each lower position In the ser
vice of the road.
During the month of January, 1894,
Brother Mitchell left the service of the
railroad und accepted u position as
patrolman In the Atlanta police de
partment. The manner In which he
discharged the duties of this position
Is shown by the fact that he was pro
moted from time to time, and at the
time of his death he held the posi
tion of station sergeant in charge of
the desk at police headquarters.
Brother Mitchell was a member of
the Order of Railroad Conductors and
had been for a number of years. On
October 30, 1903, during the first year
of our lodges existence. Brother
Mitchell was Initiated as a member of
Piedmont lodge. His duties with the
police department prevented hjs being
a regular attendant at the meetings of
he lodge, but he manifested his Inter-
st In the order by discharging all oth-
r duties requested of him.
For several weeks prior to his death
he suffered severely from typhoid fe
ver. Despite the fact that everything
which u loving family nrtd the sympa
thetic brethren of his fraternal orders
could suggest was done to relieve and
heal Brother Mitchell, he died on the
11th day of September, 1906, about
1:30 p. rn. On Wednesday, Septem
ber 12, Ills funeral was conducted at
his residence, No. 43 Plum street, by
the Rev. W. T. ifunnicutt, pastor of
Payne Memorial Methodist Episcopal
Church South. After the funeral the
Interment occurred at Decatur, ,Ga.
Brother Mitchell was modest und un-
September, 1907, during the James
town Exposition.

cil are as follows:
Groat Incohonee—W. A. S. Bird, Kan
sas.

It waa the eonaenaua of opinion at
tho meeting of the board of health Fri
day afternoon that white labor should
be used In the city sanitary depart
ment In exclusion of colored labor,
which Is now belntf worked. It Is
probable that this change will be made
nt the first of next year.
This decision was reached after
continuation of trouble in the sanitary
department whore 240 negroes are
worked. For the past six months the
difficulty In holding the men to their
jobs has been especially trying on the
heads of the department and It has
been often the case that there were not
enough laborers to man the (0 wag
ons used In cleaning the streets and
collecting the refuse.
The only difficulty In making the
change at the present time Is the fact
that the white laborers will have to be
paid 11.50 whereas the negroes are be
ing paid only $1.16. To take care of
this difference a special appropriation
would have to be made. It Is Impos
sible at the present state of the city
treasury.
Dr. Benson, president of the board of
health, said that the scum of the earth
was being worked In the department
and that he was sure <\r a small In
crease w hite labor could be secured.
The secretary of the board was In
structed to make his. estimate for the
coming year on the white Inbor basis.
Chief John Jenlzcn said Saturday;
"The increase In wages will be more
than made up for In the work done
and the steadiness of the labor. The
change will be a good one."

AN ATLANTA SUB
SCRIPTION AGENCY.
The season has arrived when the
subscription agencies will flood the
country with thetr cut-rate magailne
combinations. The average cltlaen
hasn't time tn study these out. If he
did he does not care to buy three or
four magazines that he does not want
In order to get a reduced price on one
that he does want. These combina
tions seldom suit anybody. Besides,
some agencies get money, turn It In to
the magazines nnd then wash their
hands of all further responsibility. If
your magazines does not come It makes
no difference to the average agency.
The Co-operative Book Company, of
97 1-2 Peachtree street, an Incorporated
Institution, backed by some of the best
business men In Atlanta, has been re
cently organized for the purpose of
operating a subscription agency and a
mall order book business that will be
reliable, and as cheap as the cheapest.
They guarantee to give you the best
cut rates possible on magazines, and
to save you money on any book pub
lished. They allow you to make your
own list, and when they have received
your money they guarantee delivery of
your magaslnes. Mr. E. C. Merry, a
former educator, and Professor J. L.
Caldwell, well known In educational
circles in several states, are In active
control of the business. Atlanta peoplo
can turn their subscriptions over to
them with confldence and thus not
only save money, but save the trouble
of Bending off their remittances to
other agencies and publishers, from
whom they may never .hear again If
delinquencies are to be righted.
