Augusta Masons Had Brilliant
Banquet at Temple Last Night
Senator-Elect Thos. W. Hard
wick Responded to Toast
“Our Country”—A Forceful
Speech
GRAND MASTER BALLARD
ON MASONARY IN GENERAL
Short After-Dinner Talks Made
By Others. Menu One of the
Most Delicious Ever Prepared
The Masons of Augusta have seldom
ever before had an occasion to equal
the banquet they gave last night at
the Temple on Broad street, following
the exemplification of the Master's
Degree, which began at 7 o'clock. -
Last night’s affair came as an ap
propriate close to the day, in the af
ternoon of which the cornerstone to
the new Augusta Postoffice was laid
hy a specially appointed Grand Lodge
of Masons.
More than two hundred Masons wit
nessed the conferring of the degrees,
and at a few minutes before 10 o’clock
when the work had been finished, re
tired to the banquet hall to enjoy one
of the most delicious repasts ever serv
ed in the Masonic Hall. Several of the
younger members of the order waited
on the tables, superintended and* as
sisted by several of the ladies of the
Eastern Star, the auxiliary to the or
der.
Senator-Elect Hardwick.
The Masons had as their distinguish
ed guest the Hon.. Thos. W. Hardwick,
United States senator-elect from Geor
gia. who responded to the toast "Our
Country.”
His address was a stirring trib
ute to the land of liberty and was de
livered in his usual eloquent style. Mr.
Hardwick is an intense speaker and
always holds the keenest interest of
his addience. Last night it seemed
that he was at his best.
"We should he thankful,” he said,
‘.‘that this is OUR country, especially
now, while other countries are at such
horrible war. We have much to he
thinkful for.” He spoke particularly
of the part the south and southern
men are playing in the affairs of ‘‘our
country,” and that it is now' that sec
tion of the United States from which
"our country’’ is drawing its 'most val
ued men; that it was from this very
southland that came the nation's chief
executive today—horn in the valley of
Virginia made immortal by the deeds
of bravery displayed by "Stonewall”
Jackson and his men—the state that
produced him who was "first in the
hearts of his countrymen.” The speak
er recalled the fact that this southern
man w : ho is now in the president’s
chair, the most exalted office of all
nations, spent his boyhood days here
in Augusta.
“Our Country."
Mr. Hardwick, as a national figure,
has had occasion to make speeches
from Maine to California, and last
night he made the statement that he
knows from personal observation that
all feeling between the north and ths
south is completely exterminated and
that today all sections can truthfully
proclaim that this is “OUR country.”
Another particularly interesting and
pleasing address was made by Mr. N.
H. Ballard, of Brunswick, Grand Mas
ter of Masons in Georgia. He is the
head of the order in this state, and it
was the good fortune of the Masons
of this city to have liftnSn their midst
last night. U was under authority re
ceived from him, as stated before, that
the Grand Lodge of past mai|er Mas
ons in Augusta was organized to lay
the postoffice building's cornerstone,
which was the occasion for the day's
exercises after all.
Grand Master Ballard.
Grand Master Ballard, in a manner
that can not be justly expressed to do
credit to his talk, responded to the
toast, “Masonry in General.” It may
he said that this address, brief as it
was, touched the hearts of every
Mason in the hall.
Other responses to toasts were made
liy Grand Commander of the Knights
Templar in Georgia, W. F. Bowe. to
“Knight Templarism;" Grand Senior
Deacon of the state of Georgia, F W.
Coffin to “The Grand Lodge of Geor
gia;” i'\ E. Merlins, to “The Chapter;”
K. W. Flythe. to “Webb's Lodge, No.
I «ti ” W. .1. Hollingsworth to "Social
Lodge. No. 1:” H. R • Fund,
to "The Shriners,” and Dr. W’.
C. Miller, who ended with a few verses
composed by himself, to “Okad f tub
of the Shrine."
Mr Rrvsoji Crane acted as toast
master, wilfully and gracefully Intro
ducing each of the after dinner speak
ers.
During the exercises at the postof
fiee site yesterday afternoon ihe fol
lowing were placed in a copper box,
which was set beneath the corner

“REEL LIFE” AT THE
MODJESKA THEATRE
A Kay Bee feature In two parts,
"The Hateful Cod," Is the Interesting
skit put on especially to Interest the
religious Modjeskaites. The above
sentence does not exactly convey tho
Idea, for It is realized that most every
one has some religion or another. The
exact meaning Is meant that this play
Is of interest to those who like re
ligious subjects. It is also of Interest
to the "other fellow." However, more
so to the former.
This story is based on a man who
has the idea that Cod is a King of
wrath. Mom* mighty fine points are
brought out In the skit, and of course
everything turns out all right In the
end—The man gels the right Idea.
"Harolds Toupee,” a Royal comedy,
will furnish the excruciating funny
part of the program. Harold Is sorns
"bird" with his wig.
A Vltagraph production, “Under
False Colors,” will also he a feature.
This play Is lnhanclng In Interest,
there l« not a dull or a dreary moment
from the time that the picture Is
flashed on the screen until the last
“bit" has faded away.
"The Man In the I*ark," a master
piece of the K'llson people, will wind
up the excellent program.
It Is mighty nice to drop In the
Modjeska Theater these cold and
windy evenings and while away an
hour or so, comfortably, observing the
best pictures that can he produced;
the good, clean, Interesting and amus
ing variety.
The management of this theater Is
using every effort available In the art
of pleasing the public. The show of
yesterday more than pleased the
"reel" fans, and as the one of today
Is Just a little better, therefore, the
one It Is also will also make another
hit.
Come and enjoy life with the rest
of the Modjeskaites.
NEGRO IS NOT
NEARLY FROZEN
So Declare Officials of Harlem,
Who Assert That Will Elam
Was Well Provided With
Covering and That Article
Friday Was Misrepresenta
tion.
The Herald is in receipt of the fol
lowing letter, which it gladly gives
publicity.
Harlem, Ga., Nqy. 21, *l4.
To the Editor of The Herald.
Sir:—ln your news columns of yous
edition of Friday there appeared an
article announcing that Will Elam, a
negro, came near freezing In the Har
lem calaboose Thursday night, as a
result of scarcity of bed clothing.
It appeared from reading the article
that the said Will Elam would have
frozen to death through the negligence
of tlie town of Harlem and its offi
cials. except for Ihe kindly offices of
a charitably disposed gentleman who
administered stimulants and heroical
ly revived this man, who was acci
dentally found in an unconscious con
dition by a passing negro.
This is a misrepresentation of the
facts. The calaboose is tightly scaled
and provided with two woolen blank
ets and three heavy comforts, suffi
cient for any man. not excepting thfl
author of the chilly article in your
Friday’s issue. In justice to the town
of Harlem we request thal you give
this the same prominence which you
gave the original article Friday.
(Signed)
K. I). Clary, mayor.
1. F. Jones, town marshal.
H. E. Vcrdery, deputy sheriff.
At The Grand
“High Jinks."
A curious illustration of Ihe power
of an Idea to change the meaning of
n word applied to it is furnished by
"High Jinks,” the musical comedy to
he seen at the Grand next Tuesday
evening.
As the student of etymology knows,
the word ‘’presently” once meant “In
stantly,” but gradually it acquired its
present meaning of "after a while”
through a curious abuse. A man, for
example, would say, ‘Til be there pres
ently,” meaning "instantly.” But ha
would tarry awhile, anil so “present
ly” didn’t mean “instantly” In ills case.
This kept up for a long time, until
"presently” got to mean "nfler awhile."
The word “immediately" Is going the
same way as “presently,” and it may
not bo long until even “instantly”
loses Its sharpness.
So 11 is with "High Jinks.” When
you say high Jinks” now you mean
boisterous hilarity of a rough and
tumble kind. But after you have seen
the musical comedy, “High Jinks,” this
Idea will he softened in your mind, if
your mind is constructed like that of
the thousands of others who have
laughed at the farce. For, while the
piece Is uproariously funny, there Is
nothing in it, it is said, of the vulgar
slapstick variety that used to char
acterize the musical comedies akin to
burlesque.
Beats now selling.
