 The natter of bonding the financial officers of subordinate lodges is very important one ard one that is too often neglected in many of the lodges, says the Wolverine Workman. In most of the large lodges surety bonds are re- quired of the officers, the expense be- ing borne by the lodge. This method should be followed in every lodge. and it can be done at a very small expense

 Actions, not words. count. A true Odd Fellow manifests this by the cor dial handshake, happy. genial smiles and mods, sincere greetings, welcome 'hellos" and honest interest taken in every brothers and sisters welfare.
 The merging of lodges as a practical and certain lessening of operating ex- penses is an idea which recently has grown in favor and is being agitated in many sections. To be of the greatest value however, the step should be talk en while both lodges are in a fairly prosperous condition.
 The true Odd Fellow seeks the good of the lodge and it's members. He at tends the meetings and gives his best efforts for it's advancement.
 To be manly man and a womanly woman is tie object Of life and this is Odd Fellowship.

Removing Southern Curses.


Manufacturers Record.
The Chamber of Commerce of Whining
ton, n. G., has determined to exert its
best efforts and influence in the creation
of more kindly feeling between citizens
and corporations and as a preliminary
step has adopted a resolution condemn
ing the unprofessional practice of attor-
neys seeking to encourage suits against
corporations upon the basis of contin-
gent fees to themselves. The ground Of
this resolution is a conviction that such
action, where there is little cause for it
or hope of damage being awarded tends
to discourage further investment of CAPT
tai. Upon the same lines MIR. F. B. Cor
don for the Georgia Industrial Associa-
ton, of which he is president, has issued
an address to the people of Georgia APP
pealing to them to join with the manu-
facturers in securing as members of the
Legislature men who are not committed
by labOr-uniOn agitatOrs and sentiment
talists to vote for special and class legis-
latiOn, discriminating against the mills,
the farmers or any other interest in the
State.
These incidents in North Carolina and
in Georgia Indicate that the men who
are working for the best interests of the
South, both material and ethical are
awakening to a realization of the neces-
sity for united and vigorous action
against the twin evils menacing South
ern progress. They have outlined the
proper course of action. They should
lead, not merely in uttering expressions
of condemnation of the shyster, but also
in taking steps to reduce to the minimum
his opportunities in the courts and to
disgrace him in the community, and not
resting upon mere warning against
the demagogue and his hysterical sup
port, they should carry on a vigorous
campaign to prevent his entrance into
Legislative bodies. Both desirable results
are feasible

Morgan's Triumph.

Perhaps the happiest man in the
country at this time is Alabama's
grand old man, Senator John T.
Morgan. The time having expired in
which to treat concerning the Pana-
ma canal there is nothing left but to
take up the Nicaragua project, the
long cherished hope of his life. He
is sitting now in the late afternoon
at the entrance of the valley of the
shadows, and it is not in nature to
expect that he will witness the COM
pletion of his great dream, but it is
to be hoped that he will see as much
OF it as Moses did of the promised
land.
He is reported to have said on
Tuesday last, at midnight of which
day the terms of the canal treaty re-
speeding the Panama route expired:
''The treaty has been dead for
twenty-five days. Nothing could
have resurrected it. Action at BO-
gotta means the building of the canal
by the Nicaraguan route. President
Roosevelt has no discretionary pow
ers, but it is made mandatory upon
him. 1t turned out exactly as ! ex-
pected. 1t is the best thing for this
