About Suspensions.

About Suspensions.
Much is written in all the fra
ternal papers upon this subject
each month. Plans are devised
and schemes worked of all kinds
in order to decrease the prevalence
of this disease, which seems to
rage with great severity among
the fraternal Orders. In fact
Suspensions" may be properly
termed the "Bete-Noir" of fra
ternalism. In the treatment of
any disease we must first search
for the cause, and a treatment of
symptoms is only justifable when
the cause cannot be discovered.
So the first question that addresses
itself to investigators of this
malady is "Why do we have so
many suspensions In our judg-
ment the principal ones are easily
discovered.
Ist. Carelessness or neglect.
I'd. Pique, anger or irritation.
sd. Inability to pay the pre-
miumS or costs.
To the first may be attributed
by far the greater number; to the
second a smaller number, but by
no means inconsiderable, while
the third is the occasion Of the
smallest number, and when sus-
pensions result from this cause
there is no cure.
But we believe the other two
causes can be met by the appli-
cation of proper business principles
to the management of our officers,
and as they are largely attrlbut-
able to the same causes we will
consider them together Our
methods of payments of assess
ments and dues cause much irri-
tation and give occasion for neg
lect upon the part of certain mem-
berS.
The subordinate Lodge officer
goes to the member, month after
month, with the same old song,
"Your dues and assessments" un-
til the very sight of him is dreaded
by the over-sensitive member; re-
suit is irritation and refusal, PAY
you tomorrow" and, neglecting
to do so, suspension.
Again; Many men are improvi-
dent. AT times they have money
enough to pay years assessments
and dues in advance, and, if per
mitted to do so, would gladly pay
it and thus secure their standing
in the Order for definite period.
But under our laws they are not
permitted to do so, and the result
is they pay the current assess
ments, and in a short time spend
their surplus, and are suspended
because they are unable to pay.
Now we see no good reason
why this should be. We ought to
provide some means by which a
member can pay his assessments
in advance if he so desires to the
Grand Recorder, and bis receipt
should be evidence of that fact,
emitting the member to credit up
on the books of the subordinate
Lodges. We would not confine
this to year, but for any number
of months exceeding one. The
details of such law can be easily
arranged so as not to endanger or
change materially our present
system of collecting assessments;
and we confidently predict that

LOOKING FOR THAT INSPECTOR,
Sumter Very Far Behind in Rural
Mail Delivery.

The several hundred farmers of Sum
ter county who expected to be bene-
fitted by the establishment of four ru-
raj mail routes leading out from
Americus are probably wondering what
on earth has become of that special
inspector who was supposed to come
here and formally install the service.
Postmaster Smith mapped out the four
routes desired several months ago, and
it was said that the inspector was to
come to Americus at once and order
the service started, but nothing has
been heard of him. Other communi-
ties have the rural mail service but
Sumter is still going it in the good old
ante-bellum way.
