Possibly four years ago last month
Nashville knew nothing of an organi-
zation that had for it's aim, protec-
tion, care, encouragement or social
pleasure for the large number of
railroad men identified with and en-
ployed by the three large railroads
running into this city. It was only
after long and deliberate consultation
that any steps were taken to create
such an organization. At length it
was conceived in the minds of sew.
eral men that the time was ripe to be.
gtn something that would at least af-
ford protection for raroad men dur
ing their illness or disability. Final
ly Mr. Humphrey Bowling, who has
been for twenty-five years in the en-
ployment of the Nashville, Chatta

known today as the Railway Protec

Bowling. the president, it began with
himself and another man; sitting on a
plank one day both agreed to put $100
down for the financial beginning
IT was done, and since that time the
financial part of the organization has
continued to grow until substantial

About ten years ago, IN the OLD
Boyd Building on Cedar street a few
representative men met for the pur
pose of gathering together the few
fragments of Pythians IN the state OF
Tennessee and to attempt to organi'
ize a Grand Lodge. DR.. j. P CraW-
ford. who was a deputy appointed by
the supreme officials of the Negro
Pythians throughout the country
was one of the prime movers in that
gathering. So jealous was he in his
endeavors to give to the Negroes OF
Tennessee a state grand body that
the representatives present saw mt
confer upon him the highest honor In
the gift of the organization, and they
unanimously elected him Grand Chan
cellor. He has held that position ever
since. Whether he has made the or
ganization a success is best told by
what has been done since the Grand
Lodge has been in existence Ten
years ago there were less than tWen-
ty-five lodges in this state; now there
are between $50 and 200, with a
membership of over 5000. In the city
of Nashville the local lodges own two
magnificent halls, one Of which is the
headouarters of the Grand Lodge.
Local organizations are being organ
lied every day, and the time is not
far distant when there will be lodge
in every nook and corner of the state
if the affairs of the grand body are
kept in as healthy condition as they
are now. This has all been brought
about by the foresightedness and un-
firing efforts of the head of the or
ganization. DR.. Crawfords success
as Grand Chancellor Of Tennessee
has attracted the attention of the
wide-awake Pythians throughout the
country, and he is being highly spok
en- of for Supreme Grand Keeper OF
Records and Seal for the Supreme
Lodge The men of the State have
organized campaign Committee
with headquarters in the Pythian Tenn
pie. and the members of the same
are determined that the country shall
know about DIR. Crawford. They fee
certain that if they know him they
endorse his candidacy and when the
time comes they will give him theil
support. Nashville will make {
strong pull for one of her favoritt
sons. and his home people will rejoict
if the Supreme Lodge should see fl
to confer so great an honor on this
distinguished citizen.
