THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
News of Colored People
In and Around Augusta
(By A. W. WIMBERLY)
The Grand Chapter of the Order
of the Eastern Star formally open
ed Us annual session In McGregor
Hall Tuesday morning. Prelimi
nary exercises were held at Taber
nacle church Monday night, the
program as foremost In last Sun
day's Herald being carried out In
the main. The spacious church ed
lfce was filled to capacity and the
exercises were • thoroughly enjoyed.
Features of the evening were the
singing of the Clef Club and the
solo of Madame Annie Elchelberg
er Daniels. One feature that was
not on the program caused a great
deal of amusement. The master of
cerojnonles announced that the
mayor. Hon. Julian M. Smith, who
was schduled to make tho address
of welcome on behalf of the city
had not arrived, and that he would
substitute for him a quartet. Fol
lowing the rendition by this quar
tette he called on S. S. Humbert,
of Amerlcus, to respond. Humbert,
as was everybody elso was surpris
ed, and proceeded to ridicule tho
muster of ceremonies, declaring
that while there were many strange
things happening in the world and
many freaks being developed, that
was the first time he had ever
heard of a speech being offered In
response to a song. The audience
roared and roared while Humbert
launched Into a detailed statement
of the Masonic Orphan Home, of
which he is the superintendent,
down at Amerlcus.
The following is the address of
welcome delivered by Madame A.
W. Wimberly on behalf of the chap
ters of the Eastern Star of this city,
which are entertaining tho Stato
Grand Chapter:
“ltoyal Grand Matron. Royal
Grand Patron, honored ladles, sir
knights and friends: I have been
honored with the task of extending
to this honorable body the welcome
of the Eastern Star Chapters of the
city. Vesta No. 22, Divine 83 and
Golden Link. You have been given
so many brand* that I fear to of
fer you another sip from the brim
ming cup of welcome. If I dared
to do this I fear, on uccount of the
lateness of the hour and tho weari
ness of the delegates, I should find
myself in the predicament of a cer
tain school superintendent; this su
perintendent when visiting the
schools In his district always made
a talk on the drill, which was his
hobby. He invariably asked the
children the question: ‘What would
you do If this building should catci
on fire?’ The answer always came,
back: ‘We would form a line and
march out.’ On the occasion of
which I speak this gentleman had
decided to talk on a different sub
ject, so he put this question: 'Chil
dren, what would you do If I should
attempt to make you a speech?"
, The little urchins, one and all, shot
back: ‘We'd from a line and march
out.’
However, I must perform my ap
pointed task. The Eantern Stars
of this city bid you welcome to
their hearts and their homes; to
the best which they have. We bid
you welcome to Augusta, won
ilrously beautiful and fragrant with
historic memories. Augusta that
sits, not upon her seven hills a* did
Rome, but Augusta that lies in the
lap of the surrounding hills; Au
gusta that sits beside the Savannah
and gazes with dreamy eyes through
the etetrna! years at this old stream
which winds its way like a golden
ribbon to the great blue sea; Au
gusta that once received a visit
from George Washington, the first

And the father of his country. The

Ye/;, we welcome you, and why?
First, because you are disseminat

bright star; that star- which arose
twenty centuries ago and drew by
Its magic, powers the philosophers,
the astrologers, scientists and great
scholars of that day to seek the
shrine of the lowly babe of Beth

knee. They realized that they were

this child was destined to be the
Savior of the world. This star has
lost none of Its power to reform
and revitalize the lives of men. And
again we welcome you because frat
ternally you are bone of our bone
and flesh of our flesh. The same
fraternal blood which courses
through our veins flows In a crim
son tide through yours. You are
the heralds of love, that which is
the very essence of God. Jesus
Christ himself has said, ‘Love ye
one another. And again you carry
in your hands the lighted torch of
enlightened Christian citizenship,
before whose glare sin, Ignorance
and superstition slink away Into
the darkness from whence they
came. They are the offspring of
darkness rather than light; night
rather than day. You have Inscrib

Without truth no race, no nation,

Jewelry Worth $1,20®, Stolen
at Bathing Pond, Recovered
Man and Woman Arrested
In Atlanta and Returned
Here to Face Charge.
Theft Occurred In June and
Is Just Now Revealed By-
Detectives
A jewelry theft Raid to have been
committed back in June at a local
bathing resort in which two dia
mond rings and a pearl bar pin, or
brooch, to the value of more than
$1 200 wore stolen, was revealed by
operatives H. F. Day and J. W.
Wilkins of tho National Detective
agency Wednesday morning.
Louis Goldaer, alias L. 3. Joe
Harris, and Cora (loldner. said to
be the wife of Louis Goldner, both
of this city, were arrested .Tune 20
In an Atlanta rooming house fol
lowing the alleged theft of tho
jewelry, brought back to Augusta,
and lodged in tho Richmond county
jail charged with the theft, accord
ing to statement given a Herald re
porter by the detectives. Both
Goldner, alias Harris, and his wife
remained in jail here from June
29th until released two weeks later
on bond; the woman being releas
ed July 9th. and the man July 11th.
The thefts of the jewelry occur
red June 22nd and 23rd, and clues
led at once to Cora (loldner being
connected with the dime, said the
detectives. Detectives said the ac
cused man and his wife were trac
ed to Atlanta where one of tin*
rings was found to have been
pawned in the namo of Joo Harris,
with address given as at the Sco
villo hotel in that city. The hotel
people knew nothing of the man or
the woman wanted, and they were
finally located in tho rooming
house together, where they were
arrested. Had the officers been
only a few hours later in discov
ering the man and his companion
they would have been gone from
Atlanta, as a packed suit case gave
evidence that they were preparing
for further flight, tin* officers said
Cora Goldner is said to have been
employed at the bathing pond
where the theft occurred, in tlie
capacity of a cashier or clerk. A
woman who lost one of the rings
stolen, is said to have carried her
valuables to tho hath room with
her instead of cheeking them in at
the office for safe keeping as is
the usual custom with bathers.
This gave the officerg employed in
tho case the first clue to work on.
The pearl pin and one of the ring 3
was sold here in Augusta, the ring
valued at S9OO being wold for $110;
tho other ring was located In the
Atlanta pawn shop.
The two rings stolen were tho
property of Mlsr Ruth Callaway, of
Aiken, and the pearl pin was the
property of Mrs. David M. Wilt
shire, 103 Tenth street, Augusta.
The stolen property has been re
turned to the owners.
The trial of Goldner, alias Har
ris, and his wife, Cora Goldner, is
scheduled to take place at the Oc
tober term of the Superior court
of Blohmond county.
