KNIGHTS OF LABOR TURN DOWN BURNS Henry A. Hicks Elected PreSi-
 dent ofthe Order BURNS CREATES AN UPR0AR Claimed the Right to Name Six Dele gates to General Assembly
 From Whom It Must
 Choose Its Board.
BURNS CREATES AN UPROAR

Indianapolis, November 16.-After re- electing Simon Burns of Pittsburg gen. eral master workman of the Knights of Labor, this afternoon, the general as- sembly of the order, in evening session tonight, reconsidered the action, and in MT. Burns place elected Henry A. Hicks of New York as tine executive head of the order.
 The discussion during the afternoon meeting was heated when, after re-elect- ing General-Treasurer Hays, the vote for the executive board showed the election of I. D. Chamberlain of Colorado, Isaac H. Sanderson of Toronto and T. J. O'Reilly of Brooklyn, all old members and all, as has been known for several months, opposed to the continuance of MT. Burns as the head of the national organization by reason of his alleged in- clnation to ignore old men and estab- lished methods.
 Burns Objects to Board.
 Mir Burns objected to the board as elected, and claimed that an established precedent gave him the right to name six delegates to the general assembly from which number the assembly alone could nuke its board.
 This created an uproar, several of the older members of the order taking the floor and demanding a reconsideration of the vote by which MT. Burns had beer reelected. When order was finally re- stored the further consideration of the matter was deferred until 7:9O p. m, when the general assembly went into secret session at the Grand Hotel, reconsidered the action of the afternoon and placed Henry A. Hicks at the head of the order. Mir. Hicks was installed immediately af- ter his election.
 The Executive Officers.
 The executive officers of the national organization as now elected follow:
 General Master Workman = Henry A. Hicks of New York.
 General Secretary Treasurer - John w. Hays of Washington, D. c.
 General Executive Board-I. D. Cham berlain, Pueblo. Colo; l. H. Sanderson, Toronto, Canada; T. J. O'Reilly, Brook lyn, N. T., in addition to the executive officers.
 The new general master workman has been a member of the order since it's in- ception. He was elected general master workman three years ago at Louisville and served one year.
 The next annual meeting of the gen. eral assembly will be held at Niagara Falls in November, 1902.

GREENvILLE'S FUTURE.

One of the most powerful revivals
that Greenville has ever had Is now
going on In our midst and the great
good that 1t is doing Is felt throughout
the community. A person would have
to be less than human to fail to be im-
pressed, nay, touched, by Mr.. Culpep-
per's talks. He assails every vice and
brings it home to the listeners so that
the wicked cannot but see where their
crooked course is leading. 1t does the
souls OF us all good to attend these meet
ings, and there is not d man. woman,
or child OF any nationality In Green
vile, capable of listening intelligeutly,
who would not be benefited by, or can
afford to miss them.
Tomorrow and tomorrow night tre-
mendous meeting is expected and every
self respecting person in town and every
person who has fallen below the mark
of self respectability is desired to be
present, one and all, and get the medi-
cine your soul needs. Christians and
unconverted, ,penitent and non-penitent.
These sermons are making all Of the
hearers think, ana many have resolved
to lead better lives.
His talk to girls and married women
Wednesday night was a great an APP
preciated one, He spoke Of women's
wide influence, and how much good
can be done If directed in the right
channels. 1t is thought that more
women will take an interest in the
Kings Daughters Circle, the w. G.
T. U., and the different church socie-
ties in town, as result Of this meeting
and that the names of many new mem
bsrs will be enrolled.
1t is hoped that society for PreveI-
ton Of Cruelty to Animals and Town
improvement Society will soon be or
ganized, causing the members to lead
usefully spent lives. beautifying and
making better our little city. There is
much good working material here in
the form of wi ling individuals, who
are only waiting for some one to start
these movements. Who will be the
