SUFFERING AMONG POOR.
Capt. Roper of Salvation Army
Found Families In Need.

y
Found Families in Need.
Capt. F. L. Roper of the Salvation
Army was kept busy yesterday visiting
poor persons in response to requests from
them for help. He gave his personal at
tention to this work, and in many in
stances found cases of suffering which
should be promptly alleviated. Children
with scant clothing and without shoes on
a day like yesterday stirred the Saliva
ton Army workers, and they are endeav-
oring to get all possible assistance for
the cases which come to their notice.
Capt. Roper called at the Morning
News Office last night to tell the result
of his investiga ton. His plan is to obtain
contributions of old clothing, which may
be left at his home, No. 21S Floyd street
Or contributions may be left at the Army
Hall, No. 112 President street, west. The
commendable motive which actuates
Capt Roper to offer 20 distribute these
things will doubtless be compensated for
by a hearty response on the part of the
Savannah public.

The officers claim for Haupt Lodge
the distinction of being net only the larg-
est in Savannah but in the Southern juris-
dction of Georgia. as well. The reports
submitted last night, they say, show that
it has had the most prosperous term in
its history, the receipts for the past year
being over $1,700. OF this amount $3.50 was
paid for sick and for death benefits. The
lodge has a membership of over 20O and
is the only lodge in this jurisdiction that
is entitled to four representatives to the
Grand Lodge. Further, they think. as
was voiced in the speeches at the ban
quet. that the prospect for many new
members and a corresponding increase in
revenue, is a most excellent one.
The banquet following the installation
ceremonies was served in the library 1t
was an excellent one, and the committee
having it in charge, Messrs. C. A Vetter,
w. G. McIntire, w. H. Wall, w. H.
Wade and Frank Grower, received a ris-
ing vote of thanks. During the evening
addresses were made by Messrs. S. When

tn-t all of the money was taken at one
place, but rather that each town contrib

tiers of small places do not carry muca
money on hand, which probably accounts
for the small amount taken.
