The Grand Lodge of Masons,
in session in this city last week
took qnite notable action. A
year ago they passed law for
bidding liquor dealers from
being a member of the oganiza-
ton. The Grand Master ruled
that this law applied to whole
sale liquor dealers as we'll as re-
tail liquor dealers. Two wealthy
wholesale liquor dealers contest
ed the ruling. They employed a
lawyer who made a strong
speech for their side, but when
the vote was taken there were
only five men out of about 500
who voted to retaiu these whole,
sale liquor dealers. And thus
the Masons join hands with the
Knights of Pythias in condemn
ing the liquor traffic, while the
railroads and merchants condemn
the man who drinks by refusing
to employ him.-Tennessee Bap-
tist and Reflector, Nashville

printed one copy of broad side
of charges against Admiral
Sampson, took it to Washington
where President Mckinley pro-
badly saw it, and served notice
on some high officials that an edi-

be circulated unless fairer treat

APOLOGETIC.

The Leader feels under the ne
cessity of apologizing to it's read
ers for the small amount of local
news and original reading mat
ter in this issue. We encoun-
tered the greatest difficulty in
getting out the two issues of last
week, on account of losing a
printer who had gone off sudden
ly on a spree, and last Saturday
evening, without a word of pre-
vious notice, the only two print
ers we had remaining, quit and
left town. Up to this time, though
we have tried all the way from
Memphis to New Orleans, we
have been unable to secure any
one to fill their places. In fact,
but for the timely aid of the ever
prompt and accommodating
ready print house of A. N. Kel-
logg & Co., of Memphis, and the
work done by the editor himself
at the case, we could not have
gotten out this issue at all.
We expect in a week or two
to have our Office force we'll
organized once more, and until
we can do this, beg the indul-
gence and friendly considera-
tion of our patrons for all short
comings.
