SWEEPING EDICT
Issued by Masonic Lodge, Barring
Whisky Dealers from Membership.
Nashville Americana

At the last meeting of the Grand
Lodge of Mssons, held in this city
during the latter part of January, a
very drastic law was passed excluding
from the order members who engage
in the sale or manufacture of intoxi-
eating liquors after Jan. 1.
The edict is being published by some
Masonic journals of the State, and
will appear in the published report of
the lodge meeting that will be out in
a few days, but the news regarding
the adoption of the law was kept from
the public at the time of it's passage.
The new edict is very sweeping in it's
effect and applies to even old members
who make or dispense liquors. While
there has been legislation regarding
saloon men in the order, it was only
of character that prevented the TAX
ing in of additional men who sold
liquor, and was not applicable to old
members. The edict of the Masonic
order. so broad in it's effect. provides
that any Master Mason engaging in
the sale or manufacture of Intoxicating
liquors as beverage after the date of
Jan. 1, 1908, shall be deemed unworthy
of membership.
A prominent Nashville Mason said
''The three great orders of the country
Odd Fellows and knights of
all made laws barring
the seller of intoxicating liquors from
and as these three orders
in Tennessee have something in the
of go, 900 members-all
is plain that their influence,
coupled with that of the temperance
and Anti Saloon League people, would |
have no small effect upon the political
atmosphere if they vote together. !
they will or not is question
to be decided later.

nearly one year since it has rained

getting letter from home, and then l
admire the position it takes all along

worth any mans dollar. Then /
think we farmers should read up more,
and know what we are about when we
go to cast our vote. Our opinion is
that we should never put a man in

who drinks Intoxicating liqours is not
capable OF attending to his own private

CHARGE OF CADETS
OF the Virginia Military Institute at
the Battle of N ew Market, Va.

A correspondent of the Macon Tele-
graph relates this story in regard to
the heroic conduct of the Virginia
Mill tary Institute cadets at the battle
at New Market, Va, in 1854:
''Some years ago, while resident of
Tallahassee, Fla, l was, often brought
in contact with Capt. Towne, Of New
York, a Federal veteran of the war
between the states. He told me he was
chief signal officer on the staff of Gen.
Seigel, who commanded the Federal
army in the valley at the battle of New
Market.
HE was directed blythe command
ing general to place the six-gun field
battery that figured SO conspicuously
in that engagement He selected an
eminence with a clear declining field
before it. He says he remained with
the battery when it came into action
and personally witnessed the heroic
charge of those boys whose ages &C.
cilated between ID and II, and more
sublime sight he never experienced.
LAS the battalion moved in line for
the enemys position the six guns
opened with shell, and as the lads adj
vanced, changed successfully to sperical
case grape, and finally to canister, and
while the fire from the guus plowed gaps
through their ranks. with the steadiness
of veteran regulars those boys pressed
forward, nor did they cease until the
six guns were in their hands.
capt. Towne says SO inspiring and
was the spectacle that the
boys were among the guns before he
attempted to get away, and that he
was literally pushed off the field. At
my request he reduced his experience
to writing, and through Capt w. c. |
Lewis, whose son was at the time |
Capt. Towne wrote the article cadet /
at Lexington. the document was for
warded to the Institute. In including

ANOTHER STRIKE ON
GOVERNMENT WORK
Frescoers and Decorators Have a Griev
ance and Want Rec
ognition.

Sixteen frescoers and decorators EN-.
ployed at the Record and Pension Blu
reau of the War Department, in the
old Ford's Theater building. went on g
strike yesterday afternoon about j
O'Clock. The grievance of the men is
that the Government timekeeper would
not recognize the union foreman, v. c.
Carr.
/ Mr.. Carr, the union foreman, stated
to a Times reporter last evening that
the timekeeper employed by the Gov.
ernment had ordered the frescoers to
do certain work which he did not think
was required. HE not only ordered them
to do this work." said Mr.. Carr, but
when 1 told him if he wanted the men
to do anything he would have to come to
me, he said he did not recognize me as
the boss. The men thought / was right,
and without my ordering them to stop
work they laid down their tools and
left the building"
The union men state that they do not
intend to go back until. the matter is
Strengthened out and the union FORE
man is recognized.

that there was no explanation of the

mistake must have happened, as they
could not conceive of the governor OF

the present governor of Panama is a

who was elected governor because of
his bravery In battles between govern
ment troops and revolutionists.

He said that no official information of
Captain McLean's report had been sent
to the legation by either the State De.

Minister Concha remarked several times
that he could not understand what /,
meant.
He was positive that his government
