.ELKS MUSTER OUT
. STATE ASSOCIATION
At RECENT MEETING
ONLY NATIONAL AND LOCAL
LODGES FOR THE
FUTURE
COLUMBIA LOSES A PRESIDENT
Mora B. Fsrris, Of This City, Was
Head Of the Tennessee 3. P. o. E.'s
Sheriff Ship was Treasurer Of
Organization

The state organization Of Elks has
disbanded, thus depriving Columbia
of a state oficial, for Mora B. Farris
of this city was the state president.
The working of undoing what has
been done was accomplished at Nash
vile at a recent meeting. At that
time it was decided to return the
funds that had been collected, some
four or FIVE hundred dollars, to the
local lodges, and at a meeting at
some time in the near future this d.
vision will be made. The state asso-
citation will then pass into history.
State President Mora B. Fariss,
when interviewed regarding the mat
ter said:
THE Grand Lodge exercises sover-
eign Jurisdiction over all the local
lodges and has never recognized the
state lodge On several occasions
the state lodge has gotten into more
or less trouble by passing resolutions
asking for certain favors, and as these
requests have always been ignored
it was thought best to muster the
organization out. At an early date
the funds on hand will be prorated
and returned, after which the state
organization will cease to exist"
The state ofncers are: Mora b. Far
riss, president; DR.. Beech, Of Clarks-
vile, secretary; Former Sheriff shipp,
of Chattanooga, treasurer.

shorthand system. which he used
throughout the test.
| Eighteen contestants entered the lists
Saturday morning and each was subject
ed to six trials Of minute duration,
running from 40 words to 200 words
| each. The dictation was subsequently
transposed and results compared. The

Minister Who Preached Againt So
cialism and Invited Discussion
Suddenly Becomes Angry.

NEW YORK. March 2s.-The Rev DIR.
John Wesley Hill. pastor of the Metro
politan Temple, at eth avenue and 14th
street, preached a sermon last night on
socialism, in which he declared that the
socialists were openly looking for the
overthrow Of the state. He quoted Eu-
gene Debs as saying: THE time will
come to incite the populace. Congress
will be dispersed and the Supreme Court
of the United States abolished. When
such time comes you can count on
me; will be ready to shed the last drop
of my blood in the fight
1T will We a blessing to this country
cried DR.. Hill from the pulpit. after he
had finished this quotation, when such a
man does shed the last drop of his
blood
that Immediately after the benediction
all those who wished could stay and ask
questions Of himself and Edward A. Moi
fatt, q former editor of the Bricklayer' 8
MAGAZINE and at present a labor leader.
Then he said in reference to socialist
authorities he had quoted: stand up
and deny these authorities II you VIII;
answer these indictments; are you guilty
or not guilty?'
Many Accept Invitation.
Almost everybody stayed. and imme-
diately q man in the audience rose. He
was recognized by DR.. Hill, but as soon
as he started in to give a socialistic ad-
dress outside the field of the sermon,
which was on Socialism vs.. American
ism," DIR. Hill called him to order and
told him not to try to resort to that old
sociaNstic orators trick, but to come to
the point. He Immediately came to the
point by declaring that TO couple social
ism and religion as DR.. Hill had done was
unfair.
Then he began on Joe Cannon, and
there were shouts of Question. Cues

Mr.. Crabtree was grabbed by the head

and asked what was wrong. The head
