(U OV\ IT (tufi 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 stone: List of officers of the Grand I.oilge of Georgia, F.

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.

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.
