BIG MASONIC TEMPLE

$4,000 Has Been Paid for
the Site.

Atlanta, August 6.-(Speeial) first
actual step toward the erection of the
100000 Masonic temple on Peachtree
street dagonally across from the First
Baptist church. was taken this morning
when a sign advertising for sale the old
Peck house now on the site was hung out
across the front of the property Judge
John r. Wilkinson is to receive bids for
the old land mark, and 1t is probable that
by September / work on preparing the
ground for the new building will have
been begun.
The Masonic temple, which is to be the
finest building of its kind in the south,
will be erected entirely by local lodges
of the order. The lot upon which the
lding is to be situated was purchased
at the cost of $4,000, and $4,000 will be
expended upon the temple proper. The
work of raising the funds has not been
completed, but 1t is believed that by au-
tumn enough will have been subscribed

been prepared by Morgan & Dillon, and
call for a thorough up-to-date building,
which is to be exceedingly handsome.

to decay until 1t is now not recognizable

FIF TIL DAY
Repeal or Not Repeal AntI-Royoott Law

To the Editor of The Age Herald
The writer believes that the editor of the
Birmingham News is honest and sincere
In his editorials, and that he will not in
tentionally deceive or mslead the public
In the issue of the st instant of that
tpaper, in an editorial entitled I'VE Live
Not by Bread Alone" speaking of the
candidacy of Mr.. C. p. Beddow for the
state senate II says: "Beddow has been
charged time and again with having
pledged himself to undertake to repeal
the anti-boycott law. This charge has
been repeatedly branded as false"
AS far as the editor of the News goes
on this question for Mr. Beddow he is all
right but he does not go far enough The
writer does not believe that 1t takes
pledge to hold Mr.. Beddow. No such
charges as having made a pledge ON the
question has ever been made so far as
the writer can hear OF. II is not ques-
ton of whether Mr., Beddow is pledged or
not, but how will he vote IL in the sem
ate on bill to repeal the anti-boycott
law? Shall the present anti-hoycott law
be repealed Is a question In which every
citizen in this county and district is in
terested and have right to know how
the various candidates for the legislature
stand on the question. Now since the
editor of the News undertakes to speak
for Mr.. Beddow on this question and in
order to be fair and candid with the pub
lie, will he Just ask Mr. Beddow one
question and publish his answer as he
cid in regard to him being pledged: IF
he (Beddow) is in the senate and bill to
repeal the present anti-boycott law is
put upon its passage, will he vote for the
repeal bill or against it?"
Lets have no lodging, ifs or ands, or ex-
plantations, but plain. straight answer
that every body will understand

with request that he publish the same
He declined to do so. The people are
entitled to an answer to the question in
view of the denials made of a 'pledge"
as set out in the editorial I again call
upon Mr. Rhodes and Mr.. Beddow to
make known to the public his (Beddow' 81
answer to the above question. How will
Beddow vote on bill to repeal the anti
boycott law? Let no vote be obtained un-
der n Misrepresentation. Be fair and just
to the public. w. II. THARPE.
Before requesting Mr. Rhodes to pub
lish the above, I called upon Mr.. Beddow
and put above question to him personally
and he declined to answer. Is il possible
that it is the lack of courage In these
gentlemen that they decline to say how
Beddow will vote on a bill to repeal the
anti-boycott bill. or are they trying to
get votes without letting the truth be
known. Answer. gentlemen.

SEEK SECURITIES OF

Given institution BY Waeeaman
Showing Discrimination.

Washington, August 6-Suit was insti-
tuted in the supreme court of the District
OF Columbia today to compel the Catho-
lie University of America TO relinquish
securities aggregating $S76,16s, said to have
been given the university by the late
Thomas f. Waggaman, a short time be-
fore proceedings in bankruptcy were be-
gun against him.
The suit was begun by Thomas l. stea-
ley and others. The plaintiffs declare that
Waggaman permitted the attorneys for
the Catholic university, to which he was
indebted to the extent of about 100000, to
select choice securities TO cover his in
debtedness to the institution, although it
was his duty to keep all the securities in
tact so that the complainants as well as
the university and other creditors of
waggaman might have an equitable lien
without priority, discrimination or favor.
The court Is asked to name a receiver to
take possession of the securities or of
such cash as may have been realized on
them.

The Queens Mistake.

From the Boston Transcript.
Princess Ena, now Queen Victoria of
Spain. wore pearls on her wedding day.
She made great mistake. Pearls worn
at a wedding means tears are to be shed
through the married state; so runs the
Spanish proverb. When the Empress
Eugenia was finishing her toilet to go
to Nortre Dame on her wedding morning
an old Spanish servant of hers burst into
tears and, reminding her of their native
adage. begged her not to wear her pearl
necklace Eugenia. paying no heed to the
warning, wore the necklace all the same
and her life, as all the world Knows,
has been one long tragedy. Her neck
lace was remarkable one, consisting of
a large number of pearls. SO the bride
who only wears a few need not dread
the proverb so much for, after all, no
woman's life in entirely free from tears.
