COLORED MAsONs RETURN.
A Successful Meeting of Their Grand
Lodge.


Nearly all the colored delegates to the
most worshipful union grand lodge meet
ing at Rome last week of the Ancient Free
and Accepted Masons of Georgia have re-
turned and report a very successful meet
ing.
The delegates from all parts of the state
commenced arriving on Tuesday and by
the time the grand lodge was called to
order, there were present over two hun
dred delegates.
The welcome address on behalf Of the
Masons was delivered by Prof. NJ. c.
Parker, and was responded to by p. c. NJ.
John II. Deveaux of Savannah. The
grand lodge was made welcome by the
mayor of the city. The annual Grafton
was delivered by Rev. w. G. Alexander of
Atlanta.
Much business was transacted. Among
this was the appointment of committee
to select a site for the erection of a
Widows and orphans home. This will be
located probably in Americas. During the
year the grand lodge has collected nearly
$1,000 for the WIDOWS and orphans.
The election of officers was held on Fri
day. The officers were installed by Past
Grand Master Deveaux. The grand lodge

A DAY OF HIGH DEGREES.
LACKED FOUR OF REACHING THE
CENTURY MARK.

! savannnhians Made n Rush For the
ResOrts-TwO Thousand People al
Tybee-The Trains to All of the Re-
sorts Crowded with Cool Air Seek
ers.
Savannahians are having more hot
weather on hand than they know what
to do with. It is what may well be called
an unprecedented run.
For the last six days the maximum tenn
perature has ranged from 80 degrees to 100
degrees. Yesterday was as hot day as
the average Savannahian wants. The
highest temperature reached was IS de-
grees at 1890 o'clock. That was the wealth
er bureaus observation, but down in the
stretes, nearer the pavements, the thermom-
eter registered and degrees higher. The
mean temperature for the day was de-
grees above the average for twenty-seven
years.
The day began hot and the heat lasted
right through. There was very little
breeze, the lack of which
made the heat more severely
felt. 1t was too hot for the bicyclists and
very few of them were seen on the streets.
The street cars got the benefit of it, The
car travel was the heaviest it has been any
day this season. It lasted until late into
the night Some people rode until the
last car had run.
On the wharves and in the railroad yards
work was practically suspended on account
Of Sunday and working people
made the most of it, All
of the trains to the resorts were
crowded. Between 5000 and 5000 people
spent the day in the country somewhere.
The seaside places were thronged
by those to whom breath of the cool
air and a dip in the salt water are such
desirable factors in the arduous work of
keeping COOL Sundays are always the
most popular days at the resorts, and yes
terday was no exception. There was no
appreciable diminution In the heat that
has made Georgia tropical during the
last few days, and comfort almost COM
PEELED those desiring 1t seek the breezes
that blow at the resorts.
Tybee is, of course, the place to which
the greatest travel goes. The season there
is well under way. From July / to Is is
judged the most popular period of a sea-
son, and a considerable increase in the
crowd is expected then.
The beach late yesterday afternoon was
dotted with groups of onlook-
ers, who watched the bathers-
These groups were well distributed
and parties of two or three were every
where to be seen. The surf was filled
with bathers. High tide came at Just
the proper time TO insure a crowd. The
surf was not very strong, but the break
ers were high enough to render the bath
ing pleasure. There were probably more
people in the surf than there has been at
any time this season. A number of par
ties are at the hotels from the inland cities.
prominent people among them from Ma
con, Atlanta and Augusta Thunderbolt,
also, was visited by large number yes
terday, most of the visitors as was the
case with Tybee, going down in the after
noon.

Franck, the lunatc confined in jail, as
reported in yesterdays Morning News,

the county for damages.
On the other hand, II is claimed by the
officers at the Jail that the negro was
entirely to blame for his injuries, as he
was playing with and teasing the luna
tic at the time the trouble came on. Il
is further claimed by the officers that the
negro is not seriously hurt by the wounds
that he received. IL is stated that he re-
ceived only slight wounds and that there
have never been any symptoms to show
that he was badly beaten by the mad
man; he has eaten his full rations, and
is a perfectly sound man, except for the
slight bruise OF the kick, which the luna.
tic gave him.

in that country. 1t Is a historical fact
that on the twelfth day of February, 1873,
James Oglethorpe landed where Savannah
now stands, and undoubtedly brought 9TH
er members of the. craft with him, as it is
recorded that the grand lodge in London in
the same year recommended the new col
ony of Georgia to the benevolence of the
craft"
Communication in those days was slew
and it was not until 1885 that a charter
was granted. Solomons was undoubtedly
the first Masonic lodge in the American
colonies, although lodge in Boston, Mass,
claims that honor, and also a lodge at
Sunbury. Liberty county, Georgia. The
Boston lodge was probably instituted about
the same time, but has not continued as a
separate lodge under the same charter
Clinton Lodge was presented with gavel
by L. Solomons about forty years ago,
which was made from tree under which
Oglethorpe convened a lodge, often mis-
taken for the first lodge in the American
colonies. One hundred and eleven years
after Solomon's charter was grant
ed the same lodge met in
frame building on the north side
of President street between Whitaker and
Barnard an old landmark which many Ma
sons remember and were sad to see re-
moved.
Thos. C. Benning, John Caruthers and
several members of Solomon's lodge, made
application to the Grand Lodge of Georgia
in 1916 for dispensation to form a new
lodge, and the favor was granted in De-
cember of the same year, with 4. c. Ben
ming as worshipful master, who afterward
left the order and died.
The charter was granted one year after
wards and the lodge was regularly insti-
tuted, and it's officers, with John Caruth-
ers as master. were installed by District

Deputy Grand Master John Hunter, who
was also past master of Solomon's lodge.
Brother Caruthers resigned in April, 1855.
The next to assume the gavel was Spencer
Currell, who served until 1854. He resigned
an June, 1856. William Cox was next elected
and served until 1853 Brother Cox came to
the lodge by affiliaton in December, 1854
and in 1868, was made a life member. He
Is Familiarity remembered by many of the
Oldest Masons to-day. During his admin
lstration several of the oldest brethren Of
the order in Savannah were initiated into
me mysteries of the craft, and are still
alive.
Past Master John E. Mallory
who succeeded Master Cox, and served
several terms as master at different times,
IS one of these. For over forty years he
mas taken an active interest in the affairs
OF the lodge, and at this day Is looked to
Tor counsel and advice with the highest
respect and veueration. He loves the or
