Evidences have been discovered
in Pike County, this Sta te, which
prove that the mysteries of mason
ry were known and practiced by
the Indians in this country before
the white man came. A white
man of unquestionable veracity
is said to have plowed up from an
Indian mound piece of stone
bearing Masonic emblems. This
piece of stone has been examined
by an eminent Mason and he pro.
nounces the carving to have been
done by one versed in the teaching
of Masonry. Masonry is known
to have been practiced from time
immemorial, but this is the first
evidence of its having been in
practice among the Indians. It
will be of interest to the craft to
know that the American Indians
were brother Masons.-Newton

Hanna Boom.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Several
delegations pledged to Mr.. Hanna
are likely to appear at the next
meeting of the Republican nation
al convention as result of the
presidents fight against the organ
ization of the white Republican
party at the south.
A white movement Is on foot in
certain of the southern states to
fight Mr.. Roosevelt and his boom
for the presidency by turning the
support Of the Lilly Whites to Mr..
Hanna.
The White Republicans through
out the south are in earnest, it is
said in their purpose to form a
white mans party, with a view to
attracting persons who hitherto O
have held aloof on account Of the
negro question.
The attitude of Mr.. Roosevelt,
Payne and Clarkson has severely
injured their movements, and de-
prived them of federal patronage.
They intend to keep up the fight
regardless of this state of things,
and as they control the party
organization in their states they
can afford to fight the administra-
tion in any way they may happen
to see proper.
