Seven years ago in the BOYD
Building, this city, the Grand Court
of Tennessee was organized. There
were only ten courts represented,
the membership of which was few,
but what they lacked in numbers
they made up with zeal and energy.
The result is to-day the Grand Court
Calanthe, is a mighty power in the
Negro fraternal world. Prior to the
organization of the Grand Court DR..
r. F. Boyd was Supreme Deputy for
Tennessee, exerting AL of his infiu-
ence for the permeating of Calan-
THAN influence. To say that he has
met with phenomenal success would
be stating the fact mildly. 1t seems
that his leadership has been one
continual series of successes. The
Grand Court came into life with
about 200 financial members. Two
hundred and thirty dollars of in
debtedness was inherited from the
Supreme Court. To-day the mem
bership is over six thousand in the
counts and two thousand Juveniles,
making the Independent Order of Ca
lanthe the largest and strongest fe-
male organization in the state.
Fifteen thousand dollars of Grand
Court and Endowment funds are in
the hands of the Grand Receiver Of
Deposits. All Endowment claims
are paid, the Grand Court owes no
one. With the funds on hand it is
safe to say that this is the mightiest
female organization of color in the
state.
The principles of fidelity, harmony
and love are inculcated in every Ca
la%nthean's breast Their only mis-
sion is to make the world brighter and

lied they have added very materially
to the well-being of the community.
The Court is composed of the very
flower of Tennessee womanhood.
The principles of the order are being
promulgated in every nook and cor
e of the state.
The reports of the Grand Officers
at Dyersburg were more than pleas
ing, showing that the order was gain
ing rapidly in numbers and finan-
cial strength. No like female insti-
tuition can compare with it in finances
and membership. These reports

commissioners issued an order today,
effective after July 4, directing the
Missouri Pacific and Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railroads to take shipments
of oil at their stations in any. amount
any day of the week that it is offered
for transportation.
The complaint was to the effect that
the rule adopted by the Missouri Pa
cific and Missouri, Kansas and Texas
to take shipments of oil in less than
carload lots on Wednesdays and Sat
urdays only, is a discrimination in
favor of the big ref1neries and the cit
les supplied by them. Nearly all the
big refineries supplying oil to Mis-
souri, are controlled by thu Standard
Oil company.

PACKERS ARE NOT SUPPORTED.
Chicago Shippers RebeI-What About
Kansas City and St. Joe Rates?

Chicago, June 24.-Owing to the
agreement of the big packers to per-
init an increase in their eastern rates,
serious controversy is likely to arise
over the western rates on packing
house products and dressed meats. At
present Kansas City and st. Joseph are
enjoying an advantage in the rates
from the Missouri river to Chicago, as
against the rates from Omaha and
other river cities. The discrimination
amounts to so cents per 100 pounds, and
arose because of the refusal of the
Alton road to increase the rates when
other railroads wished to do so.
The Wabash, by reason of it's geo
graphical location both east and west
of Chicago, followed the lead of the
Alton. When the railroads tried to in
crease the rates from the Missouri riv
er the packers objected, and it de-
veloped that the Alton had entered into
a contract with the packs for certain
percentage of tonnage in return for
maintaining the IS 2-3 cents per 100
pounds rate. The result is that the AL
ton and the Wabash are carrying all
the business. Since the agreement of;
the packers to accept an increase of &
cents per 100 pounds in the east an eff
fort has been made to induce 7. p.
Shcnts, president of the Alton road, to
relinuuish his contract with s1e pack
ers and increase his rate to 231a cents.
the rate by all roads except the Alton
and the Wabash. The management vi
the latter road has agreed to increase
if the Alton WILL and it is understood
that the packers would make no seri-
Gus objection.

commissioners may finally decide to

commission will get the water COM
pany to place a market price on the
plant.
1.-THE proper time to have bought
the plant was some time ago when
the company was willing to sell for
S95O,000," said Mayor c. L. David
son. "Since that time the company
has made improvements and extern
sions to its plant aggregating about
100000. Had we bought the plant
before these improvements were made
they would have been paid for by what
the citizens have in that time paid for
the use of water. Still. if the plant
can be bought for a reasonable price,
am in favor of purchasing it. The
option expires next month and 1 think
we ought to get busy and buy the

KATY PAINTERS ON STRIKE.
Parsons Men Do Not Think That The,
Get Enough PAY.

Parsons, Kan, June PA score or
more painters in the Katy shops went
on strike today as the result of a
failure for the painters and Katy Of
ficials to reach an agreement upon a
new wage schedule The painters de-
manded an increase in wages and fail
ing to get their demands struck, and
they are all idle today. The office and
wareroom of the American Express
company just south of the Katy depot,
is being painted today but the work IS
done by one of the city contract paint
crs and not by the Katy painters Not
over a score of men are affected by
the strike and it is believed that an
agreement will be reached in short
time and the men will return to work.
This is the fourth of the labor organ
izations in the Katy shops to demand
an advance in wages, and an agree
ment was effected in the cases of the
machinists, boilermakers and black
smiths, and it is believed that an
agreement will yet be effected between
the railroad officials and the painters.

There is a reason for this; in the

Promoter Hopes to Assist Great In

Mexico CITY, Mex, June ga
concession has been granted by the
Mexican government to V. Mistretta
of Galveston, Tex, to construct a rail-
road through the heart of the banana
growing territory of Tabasco. Mr..
Mistretta is president of the Southern
Steamship and Importation company,
which does large business exporting
bananas to the United States through
Galveston. The banana industry in
Tabasco has had a rapid growth dur
ing the last few years, and by con-
structing a railroad into the region
where the plantations are situated
the production of the fruit will be
greatly increased. it is claimed.
Mr.. Mistretta is financing the road
in the United States. The Mexican
government has taken steps to inn
prove the harbor of Frontera so as
to permit the entry of large ocean
going vessels.

MAY ABOLISH COMMON POINTS.
Manager of GOuld-Texas Line Fears
Result of Pending LEGISLATION

$OouAS u ACSASA0tAOh.
Houston, Tex, June 24.-The elimi-
nation of Texas common points and
what is known as the Texas common
point territory may result if the long
and short haul clause of the railroad
bill pending before the conference
committee of the house and senate is
adopted. This opinion is advanced by
Judge Thomas J. Freeman, receiver
and general manager of the Interna-
tional and Great Northern railroad.
Whether or not the bill will abso-
lutely abolish Texas common points
and common point territory" he said
today, "is problematical. But believe
that it is a matter for congress and
traffic men to consider"
Under the present system of rate
making, all big feeders into the state
deliver into what is known as COM
mon-point territory at a maximum
several years ago and has been ex-
tended westward until now the north
ern and eastern roads deliver freight
into a large district, extending from
the eastern borders of the state to a
line near the border of New Mexico,
at the same rate. This is known as
the common-point territory and
places all merchants and jobbers upon
an equal basis. Should the common
point territory be abolished, as it is
feared it may be, by the long and
short haul clause. the merchants and
jobbers living in West Texas would be
placed at a great disadvantage, while
those living farther east could COM
pete for trade in the westerners' ter
ritory.
