Supreme Council and En-
deavOr to Built Up Again.

At the meeting of the Middlesex
Council, No. LOO, Royal Arcanum,
last night, the election of officers
took place and 1t is now expected that
all will be fair sailing in the local
council.
The new officers stand for the
good of the order and will do all that
is possible to help put the Royal Ar
canum up to the high standard it
held until the present year, when at
the meeting of the supreme council
the rates were raised, and number
of dissatisfied ones caused trouble.

Regent, A. H. Hope; vice regent, w.
w. Oliver; secretary, w. H. Moore;
treasurer, w. c. Duncan; collector,

was elected to succeed Orrin Brown
ing, and Harry Wilson was elected to
the position of trustee for term of
three years to succeed Henry McCol-
Tough.
1t was a hard fight over the cleo
ton, and that they succeeded shows
that most of the members of the
council want to see the order back
in its old place, foremost among
lodges again.
A. ii. Hope Again.
A. H. Hope, who was elected re-
gent, held that Office the year before
last and it was the most successful
year that the local council has ever

he will do some hustling and, with
the cooperation of the other officers,
it will be only short time, it is eX-
pected, until the council again takes
in a number of new members and
makes things hustle in this city.

RECITAL WAS
NOTABLE ONE.

The recital of Miss Clara e. Far
rington in Braga Hall, last night,
was one of the most enjoyable from a
musical standpoint which has been
held in this city for some time.
Miss harrington opened the pro-
gram with concerto in G minor.
Her rendition of the piece was excel
lent. To those who were present at
her last recital it seemed that she
has improved greatly in the last year,
not that she was thoroughly pleas
ing at her last public appearance.
DR.. Carl e. Duff made decidedly
favorable impression upon the aud
ience, who gave him a hearty recep-
ton. AS an encore to his first ap-
pearance on the program he sang
my love is like the red, red Rose"
Miss Harrington played Schubert S
"The Bee," which was also played
for an encore as the audience plainly
made their desire known by the loud
applause.
Young Richard" Scotch ballad.
by Mr. Duff, was the lightest selec-
ton and the audience thoroughly ap-
preciated it.
Miss harrington closed the pro-
gram with the Scherzo-Tarantelle by
Wieniawski
She made charming appearance
gowned in white silk decollete cos
tune. Miss Mabel Phipps, in pale
blue costume, was pleasing and her
accompaniments were well rendered.
The stage was decorated with
palms and formed a fitting back
ground for the performers.

PASS CHILD LABOR LAW.
Georgia House Passes Measure By a
 Handsome Majority.

Atlanta, August 3.-(Special )-By an un- usually large majority vote, 10S to 62, the house of representatives today passed the child labor bill by Mr. Bell of Fulton. prohibiting the employment in cotton mills and factories of any children under 12 years of age except in instances where they have to support totally dependent parents, and throwing restrictions educa- tional and otherwise, around the employ ment of all other children in such mills under the age of 1G years.
 The galleries of the house were crowded with ladies and others interested in the movement, and the sympathies of the crowd were clearly with the bill. At times when sentiments spoke by members on the floor in behalf of the little children of Georgia, evoked long and loud applause, the speaker had to demand order and threaten to clear the galleries unless 1t was maintained
 After the vote had been taken and the applause subslded, the bill was ordered by the House immediately transmitted to the Senate, where 1t cannot be definitely fore told what fate awaits 1t. The Senate is said to be pretty evenly divided and while some are predicting the defeat of the measure, others are declaring that 1t will be enacted into law.
