MASONIC TEMPLE
SALE A BIG HOAX
Practical Joker Started Story
That Two Farmers Had
Been Easy Victims.

1t was the work of an imaginative
mind and the prank of practical iok
er that the rumor soon spread through
the city yesterday morning that the
Masonic Temple had been sold Ly
a smooth fakir to a couple of farmers
residing near the city.
The rumor started when q couple of
tillers of the soil were observed sit
ting in dilapidated carriage in front
of the new ''pride of Watertown. !"
The general appearance of the farm :
ers would lead one to believe just
such story, which was to the effect
that they were visited Sunday by the
smooth individual who made them
easy victims and sold (?) them the
Temple, getting 500 down as an evil
dence of good faith, with the under
standing that they were to Gene to
the city yesterday morning and make
payment Of $500, which would close
the deal and transfer the property.
The facts were, that the two farm
ers came to the city and remained in
front of the Masonic Temple for
about an hour. They were waiting
for the appearance of Attorney Kading
on other matters of business, how
ever, and were not waiting to free
themselves of their hard earned cash
and sitting admiring their new prize,
as the story ran.
The unsuspecting gentlemen from
the rural districts must have felt
somewhat curious as they sat in their
rig the object of curious eyes as they
stopped and glanced on the claimed
victims who had been victimized into
buying $4,000 building for the tri-
fling sum above mentioned.
1t was story easily believed, es-
pecially in view of the fact that it
was not long ago that the Chicago
Masonic Temple was sold by fakir
to couple of unsuspecting farmers
for the paltry sum of $1,000, the fax
IRIS securing snug little sum down.
While the Leader enjoys a good
piece of news next to a square meal,
it is nevertheless glad that the thing
is a fabrication of an imaginative
mind and that the $500 of the alleged
victims still remains intact.

READ THE LABEL.
Some of the Alum Baking POWd-
ers Offered BY CrOCers.

AS is we'll known, the laws of most
States require all baking powders
made from alum to show that fact on
their labels.
1t is not always that the manufac-
turers comply with the law, or if they
do in a technical way the terms used
are not ineligible to the average
consumer.
For instance "basic aluminium sui
phate' is nothing more or less than
"alum'
The following list of baking pow
ders containing alum is made up from
the official reports Of the Food Com
missioners or from the report of the
U. S. Agricultural Department at
Washington, or other equally reliable
authority:
Baking Powders Containing Alum:
CALUMET. -. -. Contains Alum.

RIO GRANDE WAS
IN RECENT STORM
MALLORY LINER WAS STRUCK
BY HEAVY GALE AFTER
LEAVING MOBILE.

Two days overdue and after fight.
ing through the storm which pre-
vailed along the gulf coast last weel,
for hours. the Mallory steamer Rio
Grande, Capt. Davidson, arrived In
port yesterday morning from Mobile
and while she was not at all damaged
it was as rough trip as the Ric
Grande has ever experienced.
The steamer was out from Mobile
only few hours when she encoun.
tered the storm. but she had pro-
ceeded too far to return to The port,
as the wind was coming from that
direction and it would have been al
most impossible to have made any
headway. Under these circumstances
capt Davidson decided to continue on
MS voyage to this port, and for hours
he was almost at the mercy OF the
gale. The steamer was blown off ner
coast for many miles, and at times it
was feared that the ship would be seri
ously damaged in spite of all tha5
could be done, but finally the wilma
lulled and the Rio Grand, which is one
OF the smallest but staunchest ships
Of the Mallory fleet, continued en her
trip to this port.
Members Of the crew state that the
wind was blowing at terrible veloc-
ity, and they do not think that the
Rio Grande was in the midst of the
storm. The waves rushed over her
decks continuously for several hours
and nearly every part of tne ship was
wrenched with water.
Capt. Davidson has many friends IN
tne city who will be glad to learn
that his vessel escaped injury in the
storm.

Brunswick Bar Association
Held Interesting Meet
ing Yesterday
DIDN'T ENDORSE CANDIDATES
Lawyers All Seemed to Favor Different
Men for the Three Places and
Therefore No Endorsement
Was Made.

A meeting of the bar association oil
Brunswick was held at the court
house yesterday, and was attended by
all members Of the Brunswick bar
who were in the city, for the purpose
OF considering the proper action to
take in relation to the court of ap-
peals which is to be voted upon on the
Sd day of October. 1t was practically
the unanimous sentiment voiced in .
| resolution E the association, that the
court of appeals is a necessity III
Georgia, this resolution passing with
but one dissenting voice. And it was
further resolved that the voters OIL
Glynn county be urged to vote for thi ;
court at this election.
The meeting was composed of ths
following members OF the bar:
J. w. Bennet, G. Symmes, D. W
Krauss. A. M. Zellner. ]. d. Sparks,
H. F. Dunwody, Max Isaac, A. J.. Gro
watt. A. H. Crovatt, J. L. Coison, Mil
lard Reese. Eustace Butts, Edwin
Dart, c. B. Conyers and e. P. Good
year.
After the adoption of the resolution
endorsing the court of appeals, the
association entered into a discussion
looking to the endorsement of three
candidates for the new court. There
are sixteen men in the race for the
three Offices and many members of
the local bar thought it good idea
to endorse three candidates, but this
could not be agreed upon, as the at
torneys all seemed to differ as to
who should be endorsed. Others
thought it would be poor policy for
the bar association to endorse any OF
the candidates and a motion to pre-
vail was made and carried.
A lawyers meeting was then held,
attended by all the attorneys and
efforts were made to endorse certain
candidates, but again the effort failei
motion was made that the lawyers
present to the people of Giynn county
seven names from which it was sug-
gested that they choose. but when the
different attorneys went to suggesting
names it went way past the alotte /
number and the meeting finally ad-
journed without endorsing any of the
sixteen candidates.
