A GENERATION OF
GAHBLERS.
It ix indeed sad to contemplate
the fact that the present genera
tion is tending into the gambling
proolivities. We read in history
of where gambling places in old
Rome and Athens and Paris were
frequented by tht elite and men
and women thought no more of it
than going to church.
Georgia seems to be trying to
imitate them. We have crap
shooting among the negroes—for
which sport they help pave the
street.
We have poker playing by th
professional gambler, n good part
of whose earning go to pay the
court officers, and then we hove
the five hand euchre gamblers,
who enjoy a pleasant evening at
private homes—for prizes and we
suspect that it will not be a great
while until some five buildings
are erected at which the games
commence in earnest. It only
leads to that.
A strange part of the whole
affair is that church members are
sometimes the principal partic-
pants in all these games. It is
a horrifying fact. How can peo
ple be conscientious when they
gamble in the week and brag on
the sermon on Sunday, and then
tell sinners to flee from the wrath
to come.
Another series o^ambling and
the worst of all, is the gambling
indulged in upon ball games.
They bet openly and nothing is
said of it. They are the means
of causing the men women and
the boys to gamble. , There is not
7 game pljtyed but tljlnt hundreds
of dollars changei hands and
nothing is said of it.
Thus, you see, we have colleges,
prepared by the people, who fos
ter the crowd—and teach—that
gambling may be irfflulged in—
that the young may in early days
—catch on and sear their con
sciences, so that when they grow
older—your boys will not hesitate
to gamble at anything.
Then the grand jury should not
stop at the gambler that hides in
the woods, or the little picaniny
that hides under the bridge, but
should treat all alike—the better
on games, the better on at cards
whether for prizes or money—
there is no difference, and enforce
the law, or our posterity will be a
generation of vipers and robbers
and there will be no one to check
them.
HUMANE INDIANA
Out in Indiana, the other day a
crowd of unmasked citizens went
to the house of a white woman
and her two daughters, who had a
negro rooming in the house, and
took the two girls and negro out,
whipping the younger one with
apple switches, while the elder
girl and the negro were whipped
with barbed wire, and the negro
who was 68 years of age was struck
in the eye with brass knucks.
Now we have no remarks to make
upon the matter except that it
was in a negro loving state. They
would delight to see amalgamation
in the South, but is such a thing
happens up there—or any sem
blance of it—then they ubc barbed
wire to frail them with, this, too,
in Indiana. We really don’t
know what we would do down
South, but it seems that lynching
would be preferable to barbed
wire. Well, Indiana, is a great
state and they abound in intelli
gence (?) and barbarity, as the
above goes to prove.
Memorial to Bro.
K. M. Marks.
From Glenn Lodge I. 0.
0. F,, No. 75, Athens.
Georgia.
Again lias death in vailed this
lodge—again with relentless grief
has borne a trophy from our
ranks. Again we pause to pay
tribute to the dead. Brother K.
M. Marks has gone to his rest.
He reached the end of his pil
grimage and the promise “I will
give thee rest” was fully realized.
His battle of life ended und the
conflict over, the stormy ocean
crossed, the haven of rest at last
entered.
Thu whole of life is a wide
ocean. We are 1 ike a vessel tossed
on the bosom of the deep: At
times it wrestles with'the gale,
and is stripped of its masts and
sails; but at times it skims lustily
along the placid surface, but
whether its voyage he calm or
stormy, or swift, or slow; whether
it sails through sunshine or
through fog, it lands at last in its
quiet port, and, once anchored
there, it is at rest forever. We
cannot dismiss him to the dark
chambers of death. Recognizing
his virtues, we delight to do him
honor, and will weave bright gar
lands gathered from the sweetest
flowers of FRIENDSHIP, LOVE
and TRUTH, and tenderly twine
them, a last sad tribute, around
his memory. The places that
knew him once will know him no
more forever, but in a potent
sense he still lives—lives in the
virtues which he illustrated.
“These are invulnerable to the
leaden Sceptre.” None ever
questioned his integrity, and no
suspicion ever cast a film upon
the clear surface of his character.
It was above reproach. His afi’a-
blo manner drew his friends to
him and “grappled them with
hooks of steel.”
He was always a gentleman in
his manner and deportment, and
wo utter no idle words when we
behalf of the members of
Glenn Lodge that, “Living we all
loved him; dead, we will cherish
his memory in our innermost
hearts.” To his relatives we
would say, “When the surface of
the lake is ruffled ty the rough
wind, far down in its depths there
is a calm.” j
He enjoys a heavenly! rest which
even “an angel’s voice could not
describe;” with a quite,unshaken
connfidenco in God, ho was prepar
ed to resign his spirit into His
hands. “Peacefully he bowed his
head and died.”
Let stimulants to virtue and
piety he the flowers that spring
up to us from the grave of our
departed brother. From the con
templation! of the dead may our
thoughts be led to the living,
with the one holy desire to be
come active in the cause of hu
manity, to dry the tears of the
afflicted, to comfort the so mov
ing to help the needy, to conquer
the evil, to promote the good.
