The eleventh annual session Of the
Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias con-
vened in Odd Fellows Auditorium
Wednesday morning at ten o'clock.
The Grand Chancellor, Dr. j. P. Craw-
ford, opened the session according to
ritulistic form, prayer being offered
by the Grand Prelate. The usual wei
come addresses were delivered by
prominent citizens, which were re-
sponded to by members of the Order.
The regular committees were APP
pointed at, the morning session, and
the report of the Credential Commit
tee showed that a large delegation
was present. At the same hour that
the Pythian Grand Lodge convened,
the Grand Court of Calanthe met in
their annual session in the Boyd
Building. The Court was opened in
due form by Mrs. Abbie w. Saunders,
of Memphis. The roll call showed all
the Grand Court officers present Little
business, other than perfecting plans
for the session, was conducted at the
morning session.
Wednesday afternoon the delegates
to the Grand Lodge Knights OF Ply
thias were escorted to the auditorium
at Walden University, where the an
nual banquet was held. The building
was beautifully decorated with flowers,
and everything presented an appear
ance of gayety. The master or cere-
monies announced that the occasion
was one at which it was hoped every
visitor and participant would feel at
home. The speakers were brief but
pointed, and the annual banquet OF
1909 will live in the hearts of Pythians
of Tennessee as long as any of those
present are blessed with the faculty
of remembrance.
Emphasizing the principles OF
friendship, charity and benevolence as
the tenets of Pythianism, and pleading
for the acceptance of worthy and hon
orable men into the order of Knights
of Pythias, Dr. ]. P. Crawford, Grand
Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias
of the jurisdiction of Tennessee. rem
dered his tenth annual report as Grand
Chancellor of the Order in this State
yesterday. His address covered fully
the entire work of the past year and
canvassed the remarkable growth oil
the organization both from a numert
cal and financial standpoint. DR.
Crawford reported an increase of TWEEN
ty-three lodges during the year. In
referring to the future Of the Order
he said in part:
"No organizations are needed tC
stimulate large element of our peo
pie to follow in those paths that lead
to degradation, but every organiza
ton that looks to our elevation ought
to be encouraged not only by the
courts, but by the public at large
Upon what principle does the commu
nifty encourage the spread of the
Christian religion amongst us? Is il
not because charity, love and brother
hood make men better citizens? No
body fears that religion will be cor
rupted and it's usefulness to other
men be destroyed because the Negro
is learning to worship God. Neither
can the usefulness Of the Knights Of
Pythias be curtailed by the attempt Of
the Negro to elevate himself, care fol
his sick, bury his dead and succor the
widow and orphan through its chan
nels. Let us, therefore, trust in Goo
and have faith in the growing sense
of Justice in the American people. b
peaceable, but be firm and steadfas

At the meeting of the Baptist City
Ministers Conference Monday morn
ing it was decided by a unanimous
vote that the Nashville delegation to
the Baptist State Convention would
leave Nashville Tuesday morning,
July goth at Z o'clock to go over the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
Railway to Memphis. The delegation
will largely be in charge of Rev. E. M.
Lawrence, D. D., Superintendent of
Missions for the State of Tennessee
and will consist of Revs. VIM. Haynes
G.. B. Taylor, j. c. Lott, C. H. Clark,
T. ]. Townsend, w. M. Burnes, G. K.
Wilson, VIM. Farrell, John Slaughter
w. S. Ellington, E. M. Lawrence, VIM
Craft, E. w. d. Isaac, Rev. A. Porter,
Rev. Henry A. Boyd, A. o.. Kenney, J..
G. Harding, ]. G. Fields, Mr.. j. w.
Martin, DR.. A. NJ Townsend, Prof. w.
S. Thompson and others.
This number will possibly be in
creased by others coming from Knox
vile, Chattanooga and other eastern
points, that will, no doubt, be joined
at Jackson and go into Memphis with
an unusually large delegation. There
is deal of interest already attached
to the coming State Convention. While
it meets in Memphis, the undisputed
metropolis of the State of Tennessee,
this alone is not the interesting fea-
ture, although Memphis is said tC
have sixty-fve organized Baptist
churches within its city limits against
the forty-two that Nashville can mus
ter up; the feature of the convention
will be, according to- information, the
educational work of the Baptists in
the state and the maintenance of
their three schools.
Whether Roger Williams, which was
the slogan of last years convention
when it met in this city, will keel
it's lead is not known, as there is sit
uated in Memphis Howe University
and with the convention under its
wing, yet it is supposed that the hon
ors will be evenly divided so far as in
| terest is concerned. The other fea-
| ture will be the election Of officers.
Last year Nashville took practically
the entire official list, from president
down. with but few exceptions, the
other sections of the state, seeming
ly, were satisfied to have the affairs
of the convention directed from this
city. Not much change in the official
roster of the convention is predicted.
The only change reported likely to
be made is in the presidency. A rumor
has gained credence that Rev. G. H.
Clark, ID. D., pastor of the Mount Olive
Baptist Church, is Deing mentioned
for the presidency and his friends are
insisting upon his making the race
DR.. Clark, it is known, served the
convention as president in 1900 anc
1901. There has been an argument to
the effect that the falling off of the
attendance of the convention notice
able <for the past few years is attrib'
utable to the lack of interest. But
whether this argument has a bearing
upon the desire to have DR.. Clark
again accept the presidency could not
be verified. A Globe reporter at
tempted to interview DR.. Clark this
week, but the doctor was noncom'
initial. He did state, however that
eight or ten leading Baptists in the
state had written him lately, urging
that he make the race, and assuring
him their support. He said that he
was working in the interest of the

sued today dismissing from Office
Yuan Shi Kai, grand councillor and
commander of the forces. The rea-
son given is that he has rheumatism

The members of the diplomatic
corps at Picking are thunderstruck
by the sudden dismissal of Yuan Shi

result of a Manchu plot. The Jap
anese representatives alone seem to
have had an inkling of what was on
foot.

ish ministers are in conference at
the British legation tonight and it
is believed that, acting under orders
from their home governments, they
will wait on Prince Ching, president

withdrawal of foreign troops from
China for five years and cripple the
nations credit. Yuan Shi Kai is
