OFFICERS ELECTED
BY THE GRAND LODGE OF ODD
FELLOWS OF GEORGIA.
J. A. KINDS GRAND MASTER.
j. A. TYSON OF SAVANNAH is GRAND
SECRETARY.

Public Meeting Was Held at the
Odd Fellows Hall in Atlanta.
This Was Addressed by GOV.
Terrell, Grand Sire Goodwin and
Others-Delesntes Were Given a
Trolley Ride - VaIdOsta Wants
Next Mceting-AtIauta May Be the
Permanent Meeting Place.
Atlanta, May 27-The Georgia
Grand Lodge of the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows began its annual ses-
sion here this morning, following the
work of the grand encampment. The
feature of the day was the election Of
officers for the ensuing year, these be-
ing chosen as follows; Grand master.
j. A. Kinds of Atlanta; deputy grand
master, j. w. Bennett of Waycross:
grand secretary, J. A. Tison of Savan-
nah; grand representative, r. T.
Daniel of Griffin; grand warden, T. H.
Robertson of Gainesville.
The grand master will appoint the
conductor and inside and outside
guardians after his installation to-
morrow.
The gathering opened with a public
meeting in Odd Fellows Hall at 117h
Whitehall street.
BY Prominent Speakers.
The opening address was made by
Gov. Terrell. who spoke of the fact
that he had joined the order since his
election to the office he now holds, and
who said that he had experienced a
growing love for it's principles.
He was followed by Grand Sire of
the World, John B. Goodwin, who de-
livered an excellent address, after
which Grand Master Henry McAlpin
of Savannah replied in a most appro-
pirate manner 10 both speeches.
Another interesting address was by
Past Grand Master William H. Barnes,
who is here from California.
The addresses concluded. the Grand
Lodge went into session. The reports
of the grand officers were distributed
for consideration, and after the trans
action OF other business, the election
was held.
This afternoon the visiting delegates
from all parts Of the state, about 400
in number. were given trolley ride
around the city, and tonight they
witnessed an exemplification of the
work of the three lodges in Atlanta.
Tomorrow the installation of officers
will take place, and the business OF
the Grand Lodge will be wound up.
The annual gathering of the Rebek-
abs will be held tomorrow night.
For the Next Convention.
Valdosta seems to be the favored
place for holding the next Grand
Lodge, but owing to the fact that it is
about $500 less expense to hold the
gathering in Atlanta, 1t may be that
it will come here permanently There
was some discussion along this line to-
day, on the idea that the largest num-
Der of subordinate lodges are closest
to Atlanta, and these lodges have to
pay the expenses of the delegates.
However, a strong effort is being made
in behalf of Valdosta, and it may win
out.

The Independent School of Politi-
cal Economy was suggested in The
Independent of March 6, and to date
the replies are so numerous and so
satisfactory that The Director has
great faith in making 1t a grand sue
cess. Every subscriber for The Inde-
pendent can be enrolled as MEM
Der of the school without charge by
simply writing a postal card TO The
Director. Members are not obliged
to borrow books except as they
choose. Ft
In order to simplify the work of
keeping accounts it |. thought best to
require from each borrower an amount
sufficient to cover the price of the
book and then refund all but the
rental fee of 10 per cent. A borrower
is allowed to retain book thirty
days, counting from date of receipt to
date of remailing. Instead of having
the books sent back to this Office every
time, slip will be sent shortly before
the expiration of the thirty-day limit,
asi5ing that the book be mailed to an
other member. @
All that The Director expects is to
make the school self-sustaining. That
is to say, those who borrow and read
the books must collectively pay the
actual expense incurred in buying
books and for postage All labor per-
formed by The Director and clerks
at this Office will be free, being re-
sarded as benefit to The Indepen-
dent, making it a still more valuable
paper.
from time to time book reviews
will be published under this depart
ment head; also letters from the men,
bers. Arrangements will also be made
for debates by mail on important sub
jects, and occasionally the best argu-
ments published in The Independent
In short, the object is to encourage
reading and thinking along the line
of political economy.
One advantage of being enrolled as
a member is that we frequently have
small pamphlets well worth reading
which we could give aWay-these will,
of course, be distributed among the
members.
a strict account will be kept wi h
each book sent ont anC as socn as t
has been paid for by rental fees, it
will be known as "eree book" and
devoted to the use Of those members
who are financially unable to pay even
small fee for reading good book,
but who would nevertheless enjoy it.
We have no trust magnates to hep
ont in this work--but by co-opera-
ton a great deal can be done, and
' I'll all feel that there is no blood
on the money we use for the purpose.
