WEST END CAMP Breaks all Records for New Applications (By J. H.

After Consul Thompson gave them a lesson in woodcraft they became full pledged members of West End Camp. Neighbor .1. M. Doolittle won the secret ''wedge’’ of woodcraft.

The buddy Neighbors of down-town camp are Jolly good fellows and are korking hand In hand with us. I’m sure, Neighbor Me. will he on band. Modern Woodmen of America Is not the largest fraternal order In the world, but many of us believe that It Is one among the best of many fraternities which have done so much all over Amcrlcji to make men better husbands, better fath ers and better citizens. In a camp of Modern Woodmen the youngest and the poorest number mingle with the plutocrats of business and pro fessional life and their votes and voices are of equal power In shaping the destiny or procedure of the order. In passing the de sirability of a candidate for the honors of woodrraft. we-do not nsk what Ills father did or believed: but rather, what he himself Is willing to sltcmpt. and morality. We do not love him berauso he Is hand some. gifted -or clever, hut rather because he has those qualities of mind nnd heart which makes him lovable. We do not blnme because of some misfortune or twist of fate, hut we seek to belli nnd encourage him in times of adversity, so that ho may retrieve his losses, regain Ills resources and resume his posi tion of usefulness In the com munity. We do not forget him In sickness or old age. hut seek to bring him comfort and happiness during Ills days of Impairment or decline, and If he becomes helpless or Infirm we provide for him or Ills faithful wife a home like comfort able place In whi«* to spend their later days.

The officers request that all the members at tend nnd register their names and addresses. The J. R. White Company hns provided a rest room on the third floor of Its new store for colored people. A drinking fountain has also been provided for them. I hope the colored people who use these facilities will show their ap preciation by not abusing them. It should be remembered thaht this rest room Is not a laoflnf place, but for the convenience of the colored people from the city as well ns from the country who visit this store for chopping purposes. "A word to the wise Is sufficient." The'sad news of the death of W. C. Thomas nt his home at Atlanta Monday last cast a gloom over his many friends In this city. He had been In poor health for several years. From lls Inception he was the worthy and very valuable secre tary of endowment for the MssohJc relief bureau of Georgia. “Charlie" was the favorite of everybody, and of him It could be truthfully said: "None knew him but to love him. none named him but to praise." He Is survived by a wife nnd three sons who will hnve the deep sym pathy of hosts of friends through out the state. Common rumor persist that there Is serious trouble tn the organi sation of the old folks home head - ed hy Amelia Sullivan It is al leged that for many months there has been trouble brewing among the member* of this corporation bordering on to disruption. The present organisation succeeded what was known as the Republi can Club, a political organisation composed of colored women. It 1* alleged that the 'former organisa tion. like Its successor, had hard sledding and that each succeeding meeting brought It nrarcr the breakers finally resulting In Its total disruption. In the matter of the Old Koike Home It t« well nigh Impossible to get all the faete. Cer tain women who are or were mem bers charge thaht all the trouble, as In the case of the Republican Club Is due to the Intolerable course of the president whom, they say brooks j no difference of opinion as to ad ministration, etc.; that her willl must be accepted as law. It Is al leged that at a meeting held at her home several days ago the presi dent ordered one of the members out of her home. This grew out of the contention that the treasurer of the corporation should be re quired to glyo bond, the president stating thaht that was nut neces sary since there was no funds on hand. I am told that a prominent lawyer, on appeal of members of the corporation has written a let ter to Amelia Sullivan, president, admonishing her that she must re spect the rights of the other mem bers of the corporation or legal action would follow. This, it Is hoped, will keep the matter out of the courts and save the movement from disruption. Last week I was handed a notice of a meeting of the Aid Board of the Calvary Baptist church, Sister Lizzie Harris, president, and Sis ter Bartha Johnson, secretary, with request to print. It was duly In corporated in my matter for last Sunday, but In some way got lost. This Aid Board is a strong arm of the church an(l is accomplishing much real good for the advance ment thereof. Apology for the failure is hereby extended these good women workers. PLAYGROUND NOTES BY E. A.

Neal Has Never Missed a Meeting an’d is Now 80 Years Old. Mrs W. H. Stone Has Attended Meetings for 41 Years BY HFNRY F, SAXON. The White Oak camp meeting, which has been in progress for the past several days and which closes with the services to be held Sunday night, has been largely attended and was one of the mogt successful gatherings of the kind yet held at this historic old place. The inter est manifested by everyone in the meeting was most marked and the intensity and fervor displayed on every hand evidenced the great good that was accomplished in a nbmber of ways. Home cares were laid aside and everybody enjoyed the season to the fullest extent- Exceptionally good weather was experienced for the weak which added largely to the pleasure and success of the meeting. Sermons preached by the attending minis ters at file meeting were of excep tional force and inspiration and the singing services were specially en joyed by the lasge congregations. Camp meetings have been held at White Oak for more than fifty years and are always occasions of happiness and benefit to those who regularly come here year after year. The sile is ideally located, shaded by large numbers of splen did oak trees and comprises about fifty acres In the tract of land. There are twenty-eight ’’tents’’ pro vided for occupancy by those who attend the annual gatherings, and this A'ear twenty four of-the num ber were occupied. In addition to the ones who spend several days at the meeting there are large num bers of visitors to the grounds ev ery day, and especially on Sunday. Meetings have been conducted at the present site since 1872, and be ginning with that year they have continued annually without inter ruption except for the year 1898. The meeting for that year was pre vented by a combination of un avoidable circumstances which are not nt this time readily recalled. The original location of the White Oak camp site was at a point about two miles distant from the present site and meetings were held at that place since bpfore the ones who are affiliated with the organization of today can remember. MANY HAVE ATTENDED SINCE CHILDHOOD. Many of tiie regular attendants at the annual White Oak camp meetings have been coming here since their early childhood, com ing with their mothers jf\ d fathers in the olden (lays. Some of them have never missed a single year and numbers of others have missed but few. Many there are who have attended every year for the past fifteen and twenty years without fail. Among the older and more con stant of those coming to the camp meeting every year jire B. L. Neal, Robert E. Neal. Mrs. W. H. Stone, Clem Bailey, W. L. Neal, George Wilson, Mrs. W. B. Dunn, and others. R. L. Neal, the oldest tent owner and attendant at the White. Oak camp grounds, superlntendended the clearing away and preparing of the location in 1872. assisted by his neighbors. He has attended at ev-’ ery camp meeting held here since they were commenced and recalls the earlier days when ministers and others prominent in the Methodist church conducted the meetings. Mr. Neal tells interestingly of those Daily Fashion Hint Prepared Especially For This Newspaper INTEKPRETINC.

Mr. Neal is eighty years old, and despite his venerable years is hale and hearty and remarkably vigor ous and alert for one who has trav eled so far along life's road. He enjoys the unique distinction of being the only living "Son of the Revolution," his father having been a soldier in the American army during the struggle of the colonies to gain their independence from the Mother Country. The elder Neal was eighty years old at the time of his son’s birth and died at the ripe old age of ninety one. Mr. Neal still lives at the old home where he was born and occupies the same room in which he first saw the light of day. The old home place is not far distant from White Oak camp grounds. YET HAS FATHER’S FLINT-LOCK MUSKET. Among many Interesting old relics preserved by Mr. Neal is the old flint-lock musket which his father fought, with during the war of the Revolution, and which he himself shouldered during the days of the Civil War. Mr. Neal served in the War between the States with the Twelfth Georgia Battalion, and saw service at Fort Sumter under General Beauragard; in Tennessee under General Bragg, and in Vir ginia under that peerless soldier and man, Robert Edward Lee. Mr. Neal also retains the short sword he wore when a color bearer in the Confederate army, and which was made for him at the old blacksmith shop on his home place at the out break of the war by his “colored boy.” Among his other cherished possessions Mr. Neal retains the old "grandfather’s clock,’ that was owned by his father long years ago. The old clock is said to be at least 150 years old. A set of new works has recently replaced the original wooden works in the old. clock which were so worn by their years of constant use that they had fail ed to function as accurately as they once did. Mr. Neal kept a diary of his ex periences during the war and espe cially of the three months he spent in prison at Point Lookout, Va„ which is today intensely interesting as it recalls those trying experi ences.
