MAS0NS' ANNUITY SHOWS
ASSETS OF $647,3101s

Atlanta, July 11.-With the close Of
the fiscal year, the supreme lodge OF
the Masons' Annuity, according to Sec
retary George E. Argard, shows assets
of $647 7,310.S1, and the organization has
in addition paid to beneiciaries since
it was first instituted $406, ,4S6.3;
These figures will prove interesting to
Masons everywhere. They show an
increase in assets of more than sixty
one thousand dollars over the year
previous, and over one hundred and
twenty-six thousand dollars over two
years ago.
When it is remembered that this or
ganization started without cent Of
capital, its growth and success may be
regarded as very remarkable.
Perhaps no organization in the en-
tire world is more particular as to
the investment of its funds. The re-
ports show that $685., ,S05.S5 of the an,
nuity funds are invested in Georgia
municipal bonds. The supreme lodge
building, which is located in the heart
OF the business. district of Atlanta, and
which the order owns, is listed a
something over $4,000 though real
estate men regard it as worth very
considerably more, due to the steady
enhancement in centrally located
property.

M'MICHAEL and M'CRORY
SHOW Tense FEELING
Two Clash Frequently at Edu-

Atlanta, Ca, July 1.-THE tense
feeling existing between Representa-
tive McMichael, of Marino, and Repre-
sentative McCrory, of Schley, was
shown yesterday in the meeting of the
louise committee on education, of
which both are members.
The two clashed frequently and con-
siderable heat was shown during the
discussion over Mr.. McCrory's resolu-
ton for joint legislative committee to
investigate the question of selection.

Supt. Britain was present by invita-
ton. Near the close of the more or
less stormy session, an amendment TO
the McCrory resolution to include PROT.
Britain in the joint committee. To
this the member from Schley objected,
because he said he expected to put
Prof Britain on the stand in examin-
alton as to cost, etc.
Mr.. McMichael showed resentment
over a statement from Mr.. McCrory.
insinuating that the Marion member
was connected with a book concern
and more interested in that than he
was in giving the children of Georgia
cheaper school books.

books they use are the best obtaina-
BILE, and written by those who have
given study, thought and care to
them"
He said the member from Schley was
more concerned with the cost of pa
per and printing than he was with tho
nature and character of books used,
and he proceeded to make some COM
parisons between books shown by NJ.
McCrory and some used in the schools
now.
The committee finally adjourned
without taking any action. That red
hot fight is brewing over the issue Of
school books is certain.

FIRST DIRECT
ELECTION OF
i. S. SENATOR
FOR The COUNTY OF SUMTER
Will Be Held Here Tuesday,
July Is

With the election of Senator A o.
Bacon, unopposed, here and through
out the state next Tuesday, the first
direct election of a senator by the
people in this state will have taken
place. The call for the election ID
be held in Sumter county has already
been issued by Captain John A. Cob0,
ordinary, and Mr.. Hollis Fort, chair
man of the county democratic exec =
tive committee.
The ratification of the seventeenth
amendment to the federal constitution
providing for the direct election OF
senators by the people, made neces-
sary the election of Senator Bacon by
a special election, as otherwise his
election would not have been legal.
The fact that there is no opposition to
Senator Bacon makes his election
sure. The call issued for the elcc
ton is as follows:
"To the Voters of Sumter County
An election will be held at the vart-
Gus voting precincts in this county on

THOMAS WADE
STRICKEN BY
grim REAPER
ESTEEMED COUNTY CITIZEN
Wide Circle OfFriGDdS Lament
His Sad Death

Mr.. Thomas Jefferson Wade passed
away at $3.50 o'clock Friday afte;-
noon at his residence in Leslie, the
end following an illness of six weeks
duration, resulting from blood pois-
oning. In view of his condition du.-
ing the past few days the death ol
Mr.. Wade was not unexpected to his
family and large number of friends.
Than Thomas Wade few citizens Of
Sumter were perhaps more highly es-
teemed. A man of integrity hign
sense of honor and general worth, he
was valuable man in the community
wherein he for so many years re-,
sided.
Mr. Wades death was due to an ac-
cident, slight at the first, but which
soon assumed serious aspect. He was
injured when thrown from his buggy
several weeks ago. A severe scratch
was made upon his right lower limb,
and from this wound blood poisonin,;
ultimately resulted.
Recently the injured limb was am
putated, but his condition became more
precarious within the past few days
until the end came Friday afternoon.
Mr.. Wade was probably 56 years old
having been born Nov. 8, 1857, and
had for many years been resident OF
Leslie, though a native of Doo!y
county. He conducted a large store
at Leslie and had farming interests
also. He was a pioneer resident of
Leslie.
His wife, who was Miss Salle Hooks,
of Sumter, survives him, with two
daughters, Mrs. F. E. Jones and Miss
Stella Wade, and three sons, Roy,
Thomas and Walter Wade, all of Les
lie.
The funeral exercises will be con-

some RELIEF
EXPERIENCED
FROM HEAT
CLOUDS and Wind WELCOME
Though Needed Rains Have
Not Been Received

Yesterday brought some relief from
the heat that has been so persistent
and so marked here recently. Though
the needed rains did not come, there
was, nevertheless, clouds and winds
that helped matters.
Under these mitigating influences
the mercury dropped a little lower
than usual, and the excessive heat ex-
perienced the previous days of this
week were not encountered YESTERDAY.
TIL indications, in fact, are strong for
local showers that will give still fur
ther relief.
The forecast for last night and to-
day was for local showers, which will
be greeted here with enthusiasm-in
case they deign to make a visit to IL
very dry territory. Indications are
very strong for relief from the heat
soon. At least no repetition of last
Sundays los temperature is expected.

Carelessness and Diphtheria

The offices of the Georgia State Board of Health at Atlanta was re- gently compelled to close by an cpl demic of diptheria among the officers and employees. Ten persons were af- fected. Only the secretary and one other physician escaped the disease. The secretary of the board is reported to have said that the disease was con- tracted from specimens which were so carelessly prepared by the physi- clans who sent them in that no indi- cation was given of what the pack age contained. Ordinary envelopes. 1t Is said, were sent in containing DOT tons of membrane placed between pieces of cardboard or paper; other envelopes contained cotton swabs which fell out when the package was opened. Even if this were not a vio- lation of the postal laws, it is almost lnconceivable, says The Journal of the American Medical Association, that physicians could be so careless as to send in this manner material as dead ly as dynamite or an internal machine. It not only constituted danger to the persons in the office of the health board, as the sequel proved, but it was also menace to every one hand ling the mail enroute. The responsi- bility of physicians in handling such material is great and the utmost pre- caution should be observed
