No Commandery was ever instituted
under brighter skies and with more
favorable prospects, and il is predicted
that within few years this, the baby,
will have grown and Aourished until ii
stands amongthe best in the entire state.
Marietta is especially fortunate in hav-
ing such an organization, and the Com
mandery was also doubly fortunate in
having three of the Grand Officers Of
the state at its institution, and having
also so many representative and sterling
members of the order present on this
occasion.
The order of the knights Templar is
one of the highest branches of Masonry,
founded on the Christian religion, and
its ceremonies and teachings are woven
IL and around the martyrdom of the
Christ, and no nobler thoughts or in
SEPARATIONS can be imagined, than are
inculcated in its teachings, and it num-
bers among its membership, the clean
est and best Of American citizenship.

stood IN the front rank as an aggressive,
working organization, but the Masons
of these bodies have heretofore been
compelled to journey to Atlanta in order
to avail themselves of the beautiful
rites and ceremonies belonging to the
Knight Templar order, as it was COM
sidered almost an impossibility to
organize Commandery and confer the
orders in a city the size of Marietta.
Since the completion of the new
Fraternity hall, and the various lodges
have moved into their new quarters, the
matter has been seriously considered
and agitated, until it at last took tangi-
bic form i'll petition signed by all the
resident Knights Templar in Marietta
and vicinity, and addressed to the Grand
Commander of the state, asking for
dlspensatiOn to organize COmmandery
This dispensation was granted, and at
the last Conclave of the grand Com
mandery, held i'll Savannah last month,
charter was formally granted, and the
name of Constantine, was given to the
new organization
The new Commandery was formally
instituted last Saturday afternoon, by
the Grand Commander of the state of
Georgia, Eminent Sir Lee Weir, Grand
Treasurer, and Eminent Sir John w.
Murrell, Grand Sword Bearer.
After the ceremony of institution the
beautiful order of the Red cross was
conferred on the following class of
Royal Arch Masons: r. II Northcutt,
J. Glenn Giles, w. H. Parkinson, w. f.
Roesell, +. 6. Everett, F. +. Swalley,
H. r. McClatchey and Tom Jones
The work in this order was in charge
of Sir David E. Ashby, of Couer de
Leon Commandery, of Atlanta, assisted
by a full working team of Atlanta
Knights, and the order was most inn
pressively and beautifully conferred
More than rs Knights Templar from
At anita Roswell and other points were
present and assisted in the work.
An adjournment was taken at $50 p.
III and the visiting Knights were enter
tanned at dinner by the members of
the new Commandery.
Reassembling at 80 p. N. the work
was taken up by Eminent Sir John w.
Murrell, as Eminent Commander, with
Ri. Eminent Sir John W. Dickey, Past
Grand Commander of Georgia as pre-
late, and the magnificent and spectacu-
lar order of the Temple was conferred
in full form This is one of the most
sublime and beautiful rites known to
Masonry, and it was never more beau
tifully exemplifed than on this occasion.
/ After the completion of the work, the
officers Of the commandery were elected
and installed by Eminent Sir Murrell,
acting for the Grand Commander. The

serve for the ensuing Templar year.

Scarcity of Hogs.

Possibly never before in the history
of the county have hogs been scarcer
and higher in price. For breeding
purposes, grown hogs cannot be had
at any price, while two or three
months old pig readily brings five or
six dollars. Prices keep pace with the
cotton quotations, and it cannot be
long before the farmers will realize the
importance of giving more attention to
live stock.

Civilization and Missions,

There is question that is larger
than government or trade, and that is
the moral well-being of the vast mil.
lions who have come under the protec.
tion of modern governments. The rep.
resentative of the Christian religion
must have his place side by side with
the man of government and trade, and
for generations that Representative
must be supplied in the person of tbs
foreign missionary from America and
Europe. Civilization can only be per
manent and continue a blessing to any
people if, in addition to promoting
their material well-being, it also
stands for an orderly individual liber.
ty, for the growth of intelligence and
for equal justice in the administration
of law. Christianity alone meets these
fundamental requirements. The
change of sentiment in favor of the
foreign missionary in single genera
tion has been remarkable.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, Ameri

In the little town of Hannibal, Mo-, in
November 80, 1885.
His father, John Marshall Clemens,

with his young wife, Elizabeth Lamp

of Kentucky, he joined the sturdy
band of pioneers who pushed over the
Alleghanies in the early part of the
last century and settled along the
banks of the Mississippi river.
In the uncouth environment of the
then little frontier town OF Hannibal
the famous author spent his boyhood
days. Here he fshed, hunted and
lounged along the river banks with his
sturdy companions, living a healthy
outdoor existence, which undoubtedly
accounted for his long life, in the face
of his many Affections.
He attended the little school. but
not being Of very studious disposi

New York and the principal cities of
the middle west.
But while he gained a vast amount
OF experience during his travels, which
proved OF the greatest value in the
preparation of some of his works in

among other thing
"The whole bur len of the defend

pany, having adop ed the schedule

tract called for, he kept not only the
letter but the spi it of the contract
We believe that th contention of the
defendant is amp y substantiated by
the evidence in Il is case, but, under
the issue presented by the pleadings
such contention CT not avail, for the
reason that there was no question OF
justice, fairness O. reasonableness OF

1t will be seen from this that the
rate question is complex because OF
the nature of the ontract entered into
between this city and the old Denver
Water company. Neither the people
nor the present ompany can evade
the provisions o. this faulty drawn
contract for the twenty years the ordi-
nance is In force. The water question
as 1t is TO be de ,ided this spring IS
apart from the iscussion of present

Simple Statement

the water corporation, was binding on
the successors the same as on the orig
inal parties TO it. Therefore when tht
five years was up and the city asked
that an average rate be made accord
ing to section OF the ordinance, the
water company had to comply.
Upon investigation, II appeared i'm
mediately that an ascertainment oi
the average water rates for the three
cities OF Chicago, ST. Louis and Gin
cinnati was an impracticable task, il
not legal impossibility, owing TO the
different methods OF fixing the water
rates prevailing in these three cities.
Chicago rates were based on front
age and fixtures used.
Cincinnati rates were based on floor
area and fixtures used.
St Louis rates were based upon 10
cation of property. number of rooms
and fixtures used
The company pleaded its inability
TO do the impossible and offered
compromise schedule, giving success
i've reductions of ten per cent, fiji.
teen per cent and twenty per cent
from Schedule A for general service.
and forty-fye per cent. for irrigation.
These offers were made not as CON
ceding in any way the obligation to
do so. but for the purpose OF effectirs
a compromise, preventing litigation
and annoyance and loss. both To ths
company and TO the consumers.
Under the administration OF Mayor
McMurray. these efforts TO comprom.
ise upon this provision were inefec.
tnal. and the company voluntarily put
in effect the Leafet Schedule, which
was not less than a twenty per cent.
reduction from Schedule A for general
service and forty-fye per cent. for irri-
cation, and this schedule remained In
effect until the spring OF 1898. In
Msy. 1897. on the instigation OF Mayor
. McMurray suit was Instituted in the
district court for the county OF Arapa-
hoe, TO secure compliance with the
proyiso of Ordinance a OF 1890.
The court decision ACTUAL
RAISED RATES ABOVE THE LEAI
LET SCHEDULE THEN IN FORCl
AND ABOVE ANY OF THE co
PROMISES OFFERED The reason
for this is that In law. the justice of a
contract is not the question. but
whether the provisions of II are car
ried out by both parties to the con-
tract. Therefore the water company
could neither charge MORE than tho
rates agreed upon nor could II charge
LESS, The district court said II cou
not definitely determine what was an
average between Chicago. Cincinnati
and St Louis. but did make decision
and that decision was binding until
the case was further adjudicated in a
higher court. Citizens and corpora
tons make contracts. but 1t is the
courts that have the right to say what
those contracts mean. In the light
of this 1t can be seen that the Denver
Union Water company has been ~
volved In litigation through a contract
made by Senator Patterson for the old
Denver Water company Its rate
schedule as offered was actually lower
than the one of the old company. both
before the case was put in the courts.
and after the courts had decided what
the rates contracted for really should
