been established In Alabama"
Something like forty official visits
were made by the Great Sachem to
tribes throughout the State in his
term. A number of recommendations
were offered by the Great sachem,
among them one to the effect that q
special committee of three be appoint
ed at this session to report at once a
constitution and bylaws for the Great
Council of Alabama, and a uniform
constitution and bylaws for tribes
The Great Sachem also recommended
an appropriation for an organizer and
exemplifier of the Great Council,
whose duty will be to organize and
institute new tribes, instruct tribes in
the ritualistic and secret work of the
order, and otherwise devote his time
to the upbuilding of the order.
The report of the Great Chief of
Records, William Snalee Smith. of
Montgomery, showed a total member
ship Dec. 81. 1907, to have been 5.143.
The total membership Dec. 81, 1908.
was 4,57S. Since that time there have
been some tribes added to the rolls and
the membership somewhat improved.

amounted to s6.65469 including a

speaks well for the care and diligence
of the Investigating committees who
pass upon the fitness of a candidate
for membership. Only a few of the
tribes require a medical examination
with an application for membership.

laboring men who 1--we in the fresh
