Savannah Pythians are well repre-
scented in Atlanta to-day and not only
will the seven lodges of Knights have
members in the deliberative body of
the organization, and take part in the
discussion of matters pertaining to the
good of the order in the state, but Sa-
vannah will be in the long line of the
Uniform Rank, when the parades are
made and ready to enter the lists
when the time is announced for the
beginning of the competitive drill.
Savannah representatives to the
Grand Lodge and members of the three
companies of the Uniform Rank left
the city at 9 o'clock last night, on a
special train over the Central of Geor-
gia Railway, and will be in the Cap
ital City in time for an early break
fast to-day. 1t was very happy par
ty on board of the special, and if there
is any sleeping done by members of
the delegation, it will likely be between
jokes, or after the lawmakers have
wearied with their pranks. The three
companies. Uniform Rank, marched to
the depot at about $50 o'clock, headed
by a band, and made a pretty show
ing. The representatives of the lodges
met the Uniformed Knights at the de-
pot and all boarded the special train

of spirits and expecting to have a very
enjoyable trip. The party will return
to Savannah Thursday morning.

Interesting Days Expected.

Grand Lodge, as there are some mat

young Pythian, who was appointed to
fill the vacancy caused by the death
of his father, in the office of the
grand keeper of records and seal, is
being put forward very warmly by
friends all over the state for the DO
sition, and is thought to have a good
chance to succeed his very much
esteemed father in the honorable office.
Col. Charles A. Cox, who is now a
hiNihbCi VI III SCAlClo Oh ClcAll, llltty Ue
asked to accept the position of brig
adler general of the Uniform Rank, in
command of the companies of the
state.
1t is understood that Albany will be
a very strong applicant for the next
meeting of the Grand Lodge and will
probably get the desired acceptance of
her invitation. Savannah will not ask
for the Grand lodge for next year,
but may put in a bid for the meeting
of the year 1905.
AS is the usual custom the grand
chancellor will pass on to the title of
past grand chancellor and the indi-

Cartersville, as the next occupant of
