DAILY TIMES: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 20.1882. KNIGHTS OF HONOR. SEVKNTEBNTH ANNUAL SES SION GRAND LODGE OF GEORGIA. Welcoming Addresses of Mayor C. B. Grimes and O. E. Thomas Jr. G. V. D. and Response ot Wm. King Jr. Grand Dictator. Yesterday morning at 9:30 o’clock the delegatee to the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Honor of the state were met at the Rankin House by the Columbus Lodge and escorted to the Opera House. The orators and a number of others were seated on the stage and the rest in the chairs ot the parquetto and a nobler body of men we have yet to see. WELCOME ADDBE9B OF THE MAYOR. After aU were seated Mayor C. B. Grimes rose and said: Grand Dictator, officers and members of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Honor of the State of Georgia: Permit me as chief magistrate of the Queen City of the Chattahoochee to give to you a warm and heartfelt welcome, and In behalf of her good people, as well as the municipal authorities, to extend to you during your sojourn in our midst the freedom ot our city. The ring of anvils, the chiming ot her bells of industry, the hum of her 20,000 looms and the music ot her 60,000 spin dles in unison with the rushing waters of her red river all unite to bld you wel come. Her mechanics and artisans, her laboring men, whether tilling the soil or raising the hod, her merchants, her capi talists and her professions with one ac cord welcome ths auspices under which you are to-day ushered amongst uh and wish you God speed In the good work you have in progress; the noble workingot your noble order is a free passport to our hospitality. And when the object for which you have met shall have been accomplished, the social intercourse ot friends have been en joyed and the parting comes, we trust you will return to your homes bearing such pieasant recollections of your visit to the "Lowell ot the South” as will cause you to desire in the near future to return. WELCOME ADDRESS OF O. E. THOMAS, JR. The Mayor took his seat amid a round of applause, and G. E. Thomas, Jr., Eiq., advanced to the front and, in behalf of Columbus Lodge, welcomed them, saying: Grand Dictator and Members of Grand Lodge, Knlghte of Honor of Georgia: Brother Knights: One year ago you accepted the invitation of Columbus Lodge to hold your annual session in this city. The Mayor of Columbus has al ready assured you of a welcome to our city, and ot its municipal privileges and courtesies. Upon me Columbus Lodge has bestowed the honor ot welcoming you in their behalf. Words of welcome are but empty sounds, unless they proceed from the heart. Here sit the members of our Lodge before you. Let the speaker re main silent, while each ot you view each face before you, and see if you do not road in each face, Welcome, Brothers, to our city, our Lodge, our homes and our hearts. A look is a simple action of the eye and mind, and yet It was a look that caused the impulsive dlselpfe to weep bitterly. A look can bring your child bounding In fullness ot joy to your arms or send it away almset broken hearted. A tear Is a small drop, yet the anguish of heart is eo great when they appear that they caused even the Bon of God to weep in sympathy with the bereaved sisters at the grave of Lazarus. A word is simply a vocal sound whereby wa convey our wishes and wants to others, yet A little word in kindness spoken A motion or tear, Has often healed the heart that’s broken, And made a friend sincere. The coral is a small animalculac, in the vast depths of ths ocean, yet Continents and Islands rise above the surface of the waters through their united instrumen talities. It was a Very small meeting at which our Order of the Knights of Honor was begun. The Order was organized in Louisville, Ky., June 30th 1873, at a meet ing called by J. A. Demaree, and at which Dr. D. Wilson presided. It numbered only 99 members Deo. 31st, 1878, The first death in our order occurred August 31st, 1874, and Its membership at that time was about 500. The amount of $532.05. the first assessment, was paid to the family of John D. Clarke, ot Louisville Lodge No. 2. The amount of $561.60, second assessment, was paid to the beneficiaries of Brother Thomas Goto, of R. E. Lodge No. 6, of Louisville, Ky, These are the only two deaths upon which the full amount of the benefit fund bae not been paid, as the membership, at the time of said deaths, had not reached 2,000 members. The third death occurred May 4th, 1875, and the full benefit was paid. See from such small beginning what grand results and what deeds of benevolence have been achieved from the orgrnlaatlon, to Janu ary Ist, 1882. ===== ====== Ss ss>j b . Veers. $5 ?

Like a noble ehlp upon the seas with every sail set and pennon flying she rode the ordina ry waves of the ocean of time with ease and grace. But a storm was arising to try her every spar and piece of timber. For the space of four months the sky was darkened, the storm of disease and death appeared to chase her like a shining mark, and the billows of adversity were mountain high. One hundred and ninety three deaths, and liabilities of $385,000 from that disease alone in so short a time caused her deck to look like a charnel house. Her enemies had prophesied her coilapse to such an event But when the storm was over it was found that the noble ship was sound in every part and by the first ot March 1879 all vestiges ot the storm had disappeared. In the summer of 1879 the same disease again carried off 23 members but the noble ship weathered that storm also and tc-day she rides upon the ocean ot insurance, the grandest time tried vessel ot the fleet. In addition to the regular benefits paid the order ex pended $20,000 for the relief of the sick members in 1878 and SIO,OOO in 1879 for the same purpose and by hit sympathetic effort stayed the disease, proving itself not only capable of paying death losses but In protecting Its living members from death and want The actual eost to a member under 45 years who joined the order In 1873 has been for assessments s9l or an average of $11.37 per annum. If to this sum of s9l for assessments four dollars per year for L'xlge duos be added for eight years and ten dollars for Initiation fees the total cost for such mem bers for 8 years is $133. Divide this by 8 and we have the annual cost for inflation fees, Lodge dues aad as' sessmeute during 8 years)is $16.62 per an num for $2,000; benefit, or $8.31 for SI,OOO. benefit. At this small average per member the Order has paid to date April 19th 1882, over six millions of dollars and relieved the widows and orphans of 3,056 deceased brothers. No beneficial society can pro duce such a record for 8 consecutive years. Does It not fill each of our hearts with love for our noble Order and with pride at auoha record? The assessment of our Order Is also a small amount, and yet If we could visit the home of the 3,056 deceased brothers and see the joy our benefit has carried to the stricken hearts we would be amply re paid. The Grand Lodge meets here to-day to celebrate for the good of our Order in our State. Our Grand Lodge lost 21 members In 1881. None of those who are gone loved our Order more than Brother Charles S. Du- Bose. You who were present at our last session In Savannah remember how hie last thoughts and wishes, next to that of his fireside, were for the success of our Order. Columbus Lodge was instituted May 21.1877. and at the time you acci pted her invitation to meet with us she had not lost a member, and we hoped to have greeted you an unbroken Brotherhood. Alas for human hopes: On the 17lhday of August, 1881. Brother D. H. Burts, on the Sth day of January, 1882, Brother A. A. Boyd, on the 17th day of January, 1882, Brother R. J. Binford, on the 10th day of March, 1882, Brother F. W. Acee departed this life, four as gallant and true Knlghte of Honor as ever responded to the distress call under all circumstances and at all hazards. They were true and tried, and none of us who are present tc-day looked forward with more pleasure to your com ing than did these our departed Brothers. They ace gone, but their families are here as living testimonies of your promptness and fidelity in paying to each family the sum of $2,000. Only a sense of obligation to you caused me to refer to such events at this time. A friend In need Is a friend indeed and our ladles in token of the appreciation of your kind act to their bereaved sisters have prepared for you a reo ption on ta-pior row evening at Webster 11b 11, where they can meet you in person, and express their gratitude. Itwilibe no costly basket, such as in the days of old were given to Knlghte ot Chivalry, but It Is a feast pre pared by their own hands with grateful hearts for Kulghts of Honor. Their com mittee in ananglng for the same through feelings of delicacy failed to notPy one of the widows of our deceased brothers. She heard of it however, and claimed her privilege of contributing to the same. On this eaith what is more like to Heaven than the love we bear and the kindness we show one to the other. But more especially that love! that un dying love which woman bears to those ot her household. 'Tie love like thia that bolds the world together and keeps the universe moving in harmony with divine will of him who is the source of all tove. Will you bear with me while I tell you all one true story of what you have done for a family of a deceased brother to our city. A father in the prime ot life, blessed with the love of a wife and five children, the eldest two just budding into woman hood, is strlckeu with that dread destroyer consumption. He had just begun a new business with a new partner and every promise ot success. His boys were just beginning to need his business training, Surely he cannot be epared at this time. Oh! death do not strike him down but g<> thy way till he is ripe with age and ready tor the grave. But death snatched him away from the bosom of his family and friends and leaves a family circle broken hearted and comfortless. But that loss is somewhat relieved by ours and kindred orders who have paid to his widow and children the sum of $4,000 to keep the wolf of want from their door- It was in an »pper chamber over 1800 years ago that a small company of bum ble men had gathered, they wore mostly fishermen. The master of the feast clad in the garb ot a carpenter uttered these words, A new commandment give I ua to you, That ye love one another, as I have loved you love you als > one aaother. He commanded those tew and humble fol lowers to go and preach the love to all nations, from Jan humble source and ee small a beginning, Christianity with all its blessings has spread over the whole earth bearing upon its wings the dying injunctions ot its founder “Live one another.” He has promised to come again In glory and accompanied «wlth all the hosts of Heaven to reward those who have loved one another. Brother Kulghts every dollar we put into our treasury will be returned tons two fold, you aie but buying exchange on Heaven. SbaJ not these bles Ings which we are bestow ing here and the promise ot our rewards hereafter nerve our hearts to renewed ex ertion in so wide a field of mutual aid. Huven 1» net relabel by i ilngle bound, But we build tbe ladder by whtob we rlee From tbe lonely earth to the vaulted eklea, Aad wo mount to Ite summit round by round. I count theie thing! to be grind’y true. Tbit a noble deed 1b a atop toward* God, Lining tbe seal from the common B»d To purer air and broader view, We rile br the thing! that are under our Ret, By what we have mutered of greed and go*. By the pride deposed and tbe passion stela. And tbe vanquished 111 we humbly meeS. Brother Kulghts, I call your atteaHan to these facts to show you that we appre ciate your presence in oar midst and the objects for which you have laid aside your business and come here to deliberate far the good of such a noble cause. Again, In behalf of our Lodge and our ladles, we extend you a cordial welcome. The becutiful passages of Mr. Thomas’ address were frequently ap plauded and he held the wrapt at tention of his audience to the end. As he sat down Grand Dictator Wb. King, Jr., arose and proceeded to de liver the following chaste and beau tiful response. He possesses an easy,' graceful address, with a musical voice, at times tender and pathetic, and always eloquent, which swayed his audience with its every intona tion. He said: RESPONSE OF GRAND DICTATOR, WM. XIX« Mr. Mayor, Brother Grand Vice Dictator, Brethren of the Columbus Lodge, Ladies and Gentlemen : As the official head of the Knights of Honor of Georgia, it becomes my duty to reply to the words of kindly welcome you have expressed, of pleasure, and yet in this wd* there is the woof of pain. Pleasure that I shall at least endeavor to ex press to you our gratitude, and thus give utterance to a sentiment which ennobles and almost makes us God like! One of pain, because I have no eloquence of thought or word with which to express in fitting terms the sentiments that bubble in our While almost a native Georgian, having spent nearly ail my life with her borders, this is my first visit to your city. Yet she has been known tome by reputation for the elegance and refinement ot her citizens. I know that on tbe bonks of the Chat tahoochee sat this the queen city. I knew that this river takes Its rise in the mouaiain, where the Soquee, Santee, Tesantee and Chestatee, per meate each crevice in this mountain land, taking from these tbe gold, and the Chattahoochee also flow ing a golden stream through the valley of Narcooohee bearing upon its bosom tbe gold gathered from the mines and mountains along its borders. I knew that this river bearing in its bosom its pre cious] freights of gold you confined and exacted tribute. By that alche my known alone to machinists and manufacturers this gold gathered among the far off mountains you transmute Into the fabrics of yarn factories. These fabrics are sent all over this fair world of ours and re turn to you the coined gold as the reward of your skill and industry. But we realize that this demonstra tion is not for us. We are not ot tbe great of earth. We do not come be fore you clad in tbe garments of great success. We are men in hum ble life and know that your courtesy 1b extended to us as representatives of the Knights of Honor, of whose labors you have just heard. Tne de eire to accumulate Is an instinct of nature-elther that when old age shall creep upon us we may have that wherewith our wants may be supplied, or impelled by noblerim nulsos in which there is no selfish ness, we desire that should we be called away, those who are dearer to us than our llv-s may be provided for. Nature teaches the lesson of accumulation for future use. Tbe bright sunshine of summer perme ates the crevice of earth and hides away until tne blast of winter brings it forth to temper t’se freezing cold. So tbe winter rains seek many a strange crevice In the earth—stored up that in summer It may flow in bold streams from the bill sides to cool tbe thirst of man and lowing nine. But some men cannot accu mulate, and for these have been pro vided the eavitig banks and life in surance companies. But thoughtful men saw the marble palaces of life insurance companies, they counted the immense salaries paid their able officers and they deserve it all, for they are men of great ability. But in this practical age, practical men appreciated that the money to con struct these magnificent palaces and to pay these munificent salaries came from th'dr pockets, - With the aver age death rate as furnished by these companies tne Knights of Honor be gan operations with the expectation of furnishing life insurance at or nearly the actual death rate, having no accumulations, no large salaries. On the seal of tbe Supreme Lodge stands a knight in full armor. On his left arm Is a shield under whose shadow rests a weeping woman and children. On this shield is emblaz oned the bold words, “Spectemur agendo,”—Let us be judged by our actions. You have heard of the result of our labor in the past and to this I would add one item. When the inforotation came from the Supreme Distater that our brethren, their wives and children were suffering where the yellow fever swept down the valley of the Mißsis.’ippi as a very besom of destruction. Freely, joyfully we gave of our means to supply food for the hungry, attention for the sick, and cheer for the dying. Ot the amount furnished, Tennessee furnished the largest portion besause the stricken ones were the sons of her soil. Next came far eff Massachu setts, but distance bad not weaken ed her love for her suffering brethren. She gave the second amount. Then t hird eome dear old Georgia, weak in numbers, yet she poured more than SI,OOO into the coffers that were opened to aid suffering humanity. Who does not feel proud of Georgia, our mother. You have heard what we have done, let me now paint two pictures to delineate before you what we are doing now and hope to do in the future. I draw these pictures from material ot my own seiectioß and yet they find a counterpart In thousands of homes in our fair land. I have a dear old mother whose heart throbs with joy at my foot-step whose soft brown hand strokes just as gently this brow furrowed by care and age as it did when a little boy I stood at her knee. Her gentle kiss falls just as sweetly on my chesk now, as when in the long ago past it kissed from my cheek the tears of some childish sorrow. Though this head colors under the light of another world, her soft hand gently strokes it as she still calls me her “boy.” Death had called none ot her strong and stalwart sons but tbe youngest —he on whom she leaned in her old age, was called. ••He lh» t»TOrite iud Ike Bower, Meet ekerlihed since his natal hour. Hit another's iißaqe in fair fate. The infant love of all hia raaa, He was struck, and day by day Was withered in the stalk away. Ob! God it Isa fearful thißg To see the human aoul take wing, In any shape, in any moed. I've seen It gashing forth i* blood, I've seen it on the breaking ooeau, Strive with a ewal’n, convulsive msoMob, But these were horrors, th • was woe, Unarined with aueh, but save aa* alow Bo faded, and so ealm *a< meek. Be e»Mly wera se sweetly weak, 8* famriesa. yet se Wader, bind, had gaieved for those ba left behind Th«» the solemn dust to dust, earth to earth, and ashes to ashes, and all that was mortal ot my youngest brother, my dear old mother’s baby boy, was lard in earth and his spirit west to his God. But though she had those who were willing and able to labor for her, yet his loving heart was not willing to leave her unpro vided for in her old age. He became a member of this brotherhood, with his certificate payable to hie «ged mother, who yet lingered on the shores of time; and while her aged eyes still fill with tears as ehe talks ot her bold boy who has gone before, she enjoys the money which his love provided, and your beneficence con tributed. That is what we are doing to day. But I draw another picture of what lies out before us. I call to mind in the tar away a beautiful, brown-haired, hazel eyed girl, a glance of whose eye, a smile of whose lips would fill my heart with gladness or fear. I see her by my side through all these years, my comforter in many a sor row, ner streogtbeniag advice sus taining me when I almost fell be neath the cares that oppressed. The sharer of my joys, the centre of my happiness, the brightness of my life. She is the mother of my children and the gladsome smile of all was the last caress at my home. Oar grand ehiffirea come in happy gtea to our home, where all is happiness and love. God has wisely restrained from me worldly wealth, but has filled my home with the riches ot love. The carpets are woven but in (acb threadbare spot nestles the geutlest love, and the warmest glow of happiness en circles this one so dear to me. But we can not keep those we love about us. What if I should be smitten, on whom this happiness largely de pends. Bne, my brethren, rests in quiet confidence beneath your shield, knowing that should death come to me, you will willingly con tribute to this fund, which shall at least keep tbe gaunt wolves of want and misery from her door. This is a picture of what we hope to do. But our enemies tell us tnai each assess meat brings us nearer to death, that in our own composition death lurks, ready at any time to atranglo our body. If these, our estimates be true, the very basis on which these calculations are made then we need have no fear. But I know that every throb in my pulse tells of molecular death In my body. I know that each thought that throbs through my brain carries death with it. But shall I less enjoy the present—shall the less quickly help the distressed at my side —shall I fill hearts with hap pi noßS—should my dear wife never re ceive a dollar of your beneficiaries my brethern I thank God that to me has been given the pleasure of com forting tbe hearts of so many endear ed ones. That by my band so many dependent children have been kept supplied and provided with means perhaps to prepare them for useful lives. I have no regrets. I only thank God that I have been with you allowed to participate in so glorious a work. Again I offer you Mr. Mayor and others of Columbus Lodge and ladies and gentlemen the thanks of the Grand Lodge for your cordial and courteous welcome.

MEETING OF THE'COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF CONTROL AND CITIZENS LAST NIGHT—PARADE DAY CHANGED FROM THE 9TH TOJI6TH—PREPARATIONS BE ING MADE FOB AN ENTERTAINMENT WORTHY OF OUB FIREMEN AND THEIB GUESTS. Last night the committee of the Board of Control ot the Columbus Fire Department met in the hall of Young America No. 5, to receive the report of the citizens committee who for several days have been engaged In raising a fund with which to carry out an appropriate programme for the celebration of the annual Parade Day of the Columbus Fire Depart ment. The meeting was attended by a majority of the Board and was a most enthusiastic one. Ringing speeches were made by several ot the prominent members, expressing the determination to make this the grandest event in the annals of tbe Columbus Fire Department. These expressions were from men who are more accustomed to act than to speak and the result will be that the an nual Parade Day ot 1882 will be cele brated in a manner worthy of the no ble men who compose our Fire De partment. The citizens committee reported $403 collected with yet other sources to hear from and they will continue their efforts till the sum Is swelled to much larger proportions. The sub scription list of course will be kept open and we do not believe there lives in our city a man who does not wish to add to tbe pleasure of our gallant firemen and their guests. As there is hardly time between now and May 9th to make the neces sary preparations, the date of Parade Day has been changed to May 16th, one week later. In the meantime tbe preparations go joyously forward, and May 16th will be a green spot in the memory of the Columbus Fire Department. Prepare for Warm Weather.

Messrs Editobj: In your paner of ti-day you have an ar dele beaded “park gates up,” but it will soon be “park gates down” unless boys are prohibited or stopped from riding on them. On Sunday afternoon the writer saw four boys swinging round and round on one gate at one time, and after remonstrating with them they were defiantandconiinued their whirling ride at a more rapid rate than ever. Tbe gates were not made for tbe “flying jenny” purpose and they will hardly stand such ustga long. It affords the writer no pleas ure to make a complaint, and hence these few lines appear for the good ot the park, and in consideration of those who have its interest at heart.
