Brenner Following Is the verbal tribute paid to ;wo Augusta i*Jlka at the Lodge of Bor row ladt Sunday. In that fojniliar play "Julius Caesar.” Shakespeare causes Marc Antony to say at the outset of his oration over the dead body of his friend: "The evil that men do lives after them; "The good is oft interred with their bones." and we frequently hear these lines quoted to sustain a seeming principle in the philosophy of human existence. But Is this a fact? Thera 1 be wise ones who will promptly wag their heads and answer in a ready affirmative. For, they will say, was not human nature the same In Caesar's time a« in our own. and as it also wa» In the time of the I Bard of Avon, who seems to have al* I most approached divinity itself in his i comprehension of the frailties of human nature and in his ability to portray them. Yet the sole purpose* of the master play-wright was but to hold the mirror up to all nature, which, after ail, is a fickle and many sided thing, a fact that whs well demonstrated In this very cast* by the artful Antony; who, while ad mitting the grievous faults of the slain I Caesar that, when emphasized by Brutus, had caused the populace to curse him for a tyrant and acclaim his slayers as heroes, showed that while Caesar furth ered his own -ambitions he was but ad vancing the common good .so that to him Rome was debtor for a large mens lire of her greatness; and that while ap parently accumulating for himself -a vast rstute he was in fact founding a for tune for the whole people, so that every Roman citizen would become his heir— thus moving human nature, through love I for 11 h benefactor, to cry out that the ; great lqpder’s death was treason, so that ; the very men who had Just hailed Brut us as a patriot were now incited to mur der and rapine Iti an endeavor to avenge the same deed that they so lately had approved. TVe are told In Holy Writ that Love ! (Charity) covereth a multitude of sins, and this snytng was well Illustrated In ' I this episode. For, though the rabble ac knowledged the sins of their idol when reminded of thorn, love soon blotted ou' | all of there, leaving to memory’s view j only the many noble and good things that the great one had done; and It greatly accentuated them, thereby mak lag his death, instead of a praiseworthy thing, a calamity. All human experi ence Is told In that single drama. The chronicles of the lives of great men re cord only tho best things nbout them. ; In the brief span of American history we know only the worthy things dona by Washington, Jefferson and men of their typo. The same principle holds in our limited personal experience—we sepak nothing but good of the deaA. And why? Because It Is meet and right In accord with the great purpose nnd the eternal fitness of tilings. But you still ask, why? I answer that even In the worst of us the good overtop* the evil, while the good that is in nil of us instinctively roaches out to salute and exalt that w’hleh is good in our fellow' i man. And here we find ourselves back at the very esseifce of tjio Universe, for God is good, and God Is also love, nnd through the Fatherhoood of God is made possible and real the brotherhood of , man. However, of tills Spirit of Brotherhood, particularly as it is exemplified by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, i the other speaker of the afternoon has already told you. We have to do only with the lives and characters of certain Elks, and tho true Elk cares naught for the faults of his brother, save to aid him to he free from them and then sink them in forgetfulness. Accordingly In con trast with the cynicism of Antony the Elk sets up as his motto: “The faults of our brothers wo write j upon tho sand; their virtues upon tho i tablets of love find memory.” Thus It Is, my friends, that you hear 1 only fair words upon the9© occasions, and have recounted to you only deeds of kind ness; so that if any exacting critic rails I out. that the biographical feature of this memorial Is more generous than Just, In that a faithful delineation of a man’s I life and character should show two sides. ‘ we answer that the spirit of Ulkdoiu cares not for such an objection—one that I would square a man’s life by the Rule : of Three —for we believe humanity can I be served best by fostering the good that ! Is in U 9, while the evil, uncultivated* will die of its own poison. So that the praises that we heep upon our departed brothers today are not born of any mero sentimental bout of our love. Neither is our failure to apeak other than kind words due to a lack of frankness nor prompted by any servile desire to please friends or relatives. No. it Is fidelity to u principle with us. for we believe that we should be blind, as genuine love al ways is, to that which may have been coarse or evil, but that whatever there was of sweetness, of gentleness and good ness In these lives should be caught up by us and treasured for our own ediflea j lion and the common good of mankind. But while we debate the relative per i slstence of the quality of good or evil tn our histories, there is another propo- I sitlon that is well worth our considera- I tlon, and that is the possibility of out whole lives, both good and evil, fading from the annals of memory. This fear is voiced in Thanatopsis when it is asked “And what if thou with l’-,w “Unheeded by the living, and no friend “Take note of thy departure?” Alas, my friends, how humiliating it is to contemplate what a slight ripple is made by the passing of even the great j eat among us' Recently one of the J mightiest men of affairs in ths whole world died, and though he controlled THE AUGUSTA HERAID, AUGUSTA, GA.

That name which but yesterday electri fied the wnoie earth at iu» every men tion, is bcarce*y uttered by litl> iii-n during the course of the twenty-four hours. ‘ lhn gay v/iil laugh "When thou art gone, the solemn brood ol care ‘ Plod on, and each one, as before, wi.i . cfia.ee ■ 'ills favorite phantom." There is a different atmosphere, how ever, in the world df the Laks. We strive to emulate that God-like quality which marks even the sparrow 6 fail. No Elk can cross me Great Li vide unmarked and unhonored of his fellows. Nor is ho later forgouen. The Brotherly Love that animates the Liks is a higher and noblei spirit, ft has smiles and tears for you in seasons of joy, and it sits wish you in the shadow and weeps in the hour of your bereavement. To cherish the mem ory of the depai ed is one of the mos* sacred and solemn obligations of the Elk. So that, while we ever keep green the memory of the deaprted, and long again for their love and companionship, there is an hour set apart In each day where in we are enjoined so drink a toast to "Our Absent Brothers," and there Is designated one day in each year as a memorial for the dead, this latter cus tom Is commonly referred to as the an nual Lodge of Sorrow. And this is the purpose and character of our gathering today. And while Au gusta Lodge, No. 205, honors in this ob servance all departed brothers, and es pecially mourns ail of her own dead, there are two brothers, in particular, who have gone to the Great Beyond, who have taken their departure since isßt we gathered here, upon whose mem ories we would lay loving wreaths this afternoon. FLOYD LAIvSON SCALES. Dealii lirst invaded out oand this year on the ltith day of April, choosing as His shining mark that loyal E.k and knight ly gentleman, Floyd Dawson Scales, of Waynesboro. This brother was born, reared and spent his entire life in that same place. He tirst saw the light on July 15th, 187 i, being of wealthy and honored parents, witli a distinguished line of Southern lineage. 110 attended Way nesboro academy till he was sixteen years old, and two years later he began the study of law. At the age of nineteen he was admitted to the bar of his na tive county and his success was instan taneous. From the first he was allied with a strong and honored firm of law yers, whose business In time became en tirely his own, when the others retired for various reasons. lie enjoyed an ex tensive practice, having a clientele that included big corporations nnd business houses of the north and west. Though ho never sought political preferment on his own account, in 1908 he was unanimously chosen mayor of Waynesboro, which of fice he filled till his death. lie was a member of the Methodist church, and be. sides enrolling himself with the Elks, he affiliated with tho Royal Arch Mas ons, the Knights of Pythias and the Odd Fellows. He was for twelve years an officor of the state militia, and at his death held the rank of captain, retired, In addition to being a colonel on the governor's staff. After months of patient suffering lie pased away at the Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore. His death was mourned by almost the entire state us well as bj' a young wife and infant son. There was no more popular man in this section of Georgia than Capt. Scales, and lie was the most powerful, single political factor in Burke county. What- ever cause he espoused won, for he was a natural leader of men. He ever con tended for all that was best in public life and he set a high standard of citi zenship for tho young men of his county to follow. As an attorney he was learn ed In the law, and ho was a powerful and eloquent advocate, while maintain ing a high code of ethics. He was a dutiful husband and fond father. As in dicative of his benevolent disposition, I cite one of the many instances of his charity which became generally known only after hs death for in life he neve* suffered his left hafd to know’ w’hat his right one did. In this case he w.\a ap pointed by the court to serve n 9 counsel in a pauper suit in which the defendants were two elderly maiden sisters, and when by reason of a lack of technical evidence, which they had innocently fail ed to preserve, the case tyifl been lost having already given them generously of his time and talent, he then opened wide to them his private purse, in order that they might not suffer from the immedi ately resultant financial stress. Viewed on his social side, Floyd Scales possess ed a most winning personality, for he was so lovable and human a man! So that at the loss of this gallant Georgian and true Klk, we may well exclaim with Antony: "O, what a fall was there!’* JOHN A. BRENNER. As death is heedless of time and oc casion so does he laugh at youth and old age. Having taken oft a stalwart young Klk in tho full enjoyment of his powers. He next selected Bro. John A. Brenner, who died June Ist, at Jacksonville, Fla. In his Slst year. Bro. Brenner was born at Alexandria. Va„ of German an cestry. and In after years seemed en dowed with all of those manly qualities which ever characterise the sons of th_' “Old Dominion*” After an uneventful boyhood, he entered the telegraph ser vice at Washington, D. 0..

He asserts that a “thun derbolt of righteous indignation and punitive wrath will strike, shatter and paralyze the republican party unless I utterly repudiates Aldrichism and its suservient complement, Cannon ism.” ping for a short time at Columbia, S. C„ he came to Augusta, where he was made superintendent of the local office. He continued in this position with the com panies that succeeded his original em ployers till October, 1902, with a year or two's interval, during which he was en gaged by the Southern Express company In connection with their private telegraph system. At this date, the Western Union Telegraph company, which had absorbed all of the lines in this section for which he worked, retired Mr. Brenr.er on a lib eral pension, which continued till his death. Although during his later life he made his home with his son In Jack, sonville. he never lost his love for this city, and at his death his remains were brought back here for interment in the city cemetery, besides his beloved wife, who had died some years before. In the death of this good Elk this lodge lost a valued and loyal member. Those who knew him best appreciated his sterling worth, and retain a kindly remembrance of his virtues. In writirg; me about him, a gentleman whom we all honor and esteem, who had been his intimate business associate for more than forty years, paid the following tribute to our departed brother: “John A, Brenner was a man of the strictest Integrity; generous-hearted and absolutely opposed to anything yarying from the plain truth. . He regarded the A Tainted Breath Highly Cisigreeb!e A Quick and Permanent Relief for This Trouble at a Small Expense. There are many thousands of peo ple who are the unfortunate posses sors of offensive and obnoxious breath, which has its origin in chronic nasal and throat catarrh. Or an unhealthy condition of the stomach, or decay of the teeth, and when these persons realize they are the victims of such an undesirable possession, they fre quently feel constrained to remain off to themselves the greater part of the time, because they understand only too well how disagreeable it must be to others with whom they come in contact For it is an undeniable fact that people will comment on, and criticise the person whose breath is foul and offensive. Very frequently we hear the comment, “So andso is a most agreeable companion an Interesting talker, with a large fund of informa tion; is well-posted on world-history and the biographies of many celebri ties; can talk fluently on current top ics; is an accomplished musician, and literal eur; and would be a most de sirable addition to any social gather ing, except for the deplorable fact that his or her breath is so extremely offensive, that persons of refinement, good breeding and delicate sensibili ties do not care to come into contact with thetn.” And very naturally, too, for an ob noxious breath taints the very atmos phere, and affects the persons sur rounding the affected one in a way which is positively nauseating. There Is no longer any excuse for a person, however foul and offensive their breath may be, of inflicting its obnoxiousness upon the delicate nos trils and olfactory nerves of others. Charcoal, the great absorbent, is the ideal remedy for conditions de scribed herein and in STUART’S CHARCOAL LOZENGES we uave the very best form in which charcoal may be taken. These little lozenges ab sorb one hundred times their own volume in foul gases and tainted breaths, and besides deodorizing and purifying the breath and rendering it sweet and agreeable, they also act as antiseptics and cleansers of the stomach and intestinal system, ab sorbing all offensive gases which may be present there, destroying dis ease germs, poisons and microbes, and putting a stop to such morbid processes as fermentation and decom position in cases of chronic d.'spepsia and intestinal indigestion. Don't allow vourseif to be kept out of company of your friends because you may be so unfortunate as to have offensive breath from any cause. Use Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges, and you may rest assured that your trouble will be removed thoroughlv and rap idlv. .
