Pythians of the State I feel a keen regret at his severing his official con- nection with the Grand Lodge. His resignation was a surprise to me and had been feeling a peculiar grati- fication that the Grand Keeper of Re- cords and Seal was so active in vis- iting lodges and in the transaction of the business of his office.'
 Out of my knowledge of the many splendid men who compose the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias have selected Rev. J. M. Dannelly as the successor of MT. Miles. Mir. Dan nelly for the past eight years has been Grand Master of Exchequer and is thoroughly versed in the financial af- fairs of the Grand Lodge. He has Pythianism at his finger tips. doubt if there is a man in the State who has more knowledge of Pythianism He is widely known throughout Alabama and he will continue the same jealous policy inaugurated by MT. Miles. think Pythianism is fortunate to find Such a man as MT. Dannelly at this time and I feel sure that his appoint ment will meet with the appreciation of the Pythians of Alabama.
 By his appointment the two finan- cial officers of the Grand Lodge will have offices in Montgomery. for have named Prof. H. J. Willingham as Grand Master of the Exchequer
 GraRd Master of Exchequer.
 Professor Willingham is a member of the lodge at Wetumpka, but he is at present located in Montgomery. Mir Willingham has been one of the most jealous and efficient members of the Grand Lodge. He has, however, stead fly refused promotions to office, which his prominence in Pythlan affairs jus tifed. It was necessary to bring some pressure to bear upon him to get him to accept the appointment of Grand Master of the EXchequer. but 1. with other Grand Officers. felt that he was the man for the place and we insisted upon his acceptance.
 With the new officials I feel sure that the same efficiency which has characterized the Grand Officers in the past will characterize them in the fu- lure,
 The new officers were inducted into their new places shortly after the ap- pointments were made. Colonel Garber, the Supreme Representative, was sum- moned from the Capitol and conducted the exercises. J. L. Holloway. a prom inent Pythian of Montgomery, was named as Temporary Prelate. and W. E Dove, who has been MT. Miles assist ant, was named as Temporary Grand Master at Arms for the installation ex- ercises.

He has been a most valuable asset to Ala bafna Pythianism. His energy, his wide knowledge ot Alabama and Ala bamians have been of no inconsider- able factors in the present remarkable growth of Pythianism in our State.

SPEAKS FOR SALOONS
JOINT DEBATE IN PENSACOLA
 DRAWS BIG CROWD.
Mir. MeNamee snd Judge Coyington Heard by 5000 Persons--Anni-
 versary of the Sep
 fember storm. A

Pensacola, Fla. Sept. 27--(Special. )--- What proved to be the most largely attended and most interesting public speaking to be held in Pensacola dur irg the past quarter of a century Was the joint debate last night in Seville Square between prohibition and anti prohibition orators.
 Judge w. A. Covington of Moultrie tia.. spoke in behalf of ethe pronibi . tionists. while Hon. Robert McNamee of Tampa represented the vets. A crowd of over 5000 attended the speak ing. notwithstanding very threatening weather, and each of the orators was given thunderous applaue.
 It was the first occasion in the his- tory of Florida where a man took the platform in defense of the saloons. and the prominence of the speaker who championed the anti-prohibition cause had much to do with the immense crowd to gather. MT, McNamee for several terms was member of the Florida Legislature and served one term as Speaker of the House. It was there that he gained such promi- hence that he afterwards became candidate for Congress, being defeated by Congressman Sparkman.
 An agreement had been entered into by committees representing the two factions as to the time to be consumed, and also as to the presiding officer. Hon. Scott M. Loftin.
 Both speakers presented good argu- ments, Judge Covington making masterly argument in favor of prohi- bition. while the skilled MT. McNamee, who is considered without a peer in soint debate in Florida made spIen- did argument.
