Georgia Shriners, and members of
the order throughout the country are
greatly pleased at the ruling handed
down by Judge H. l.. Patterson OF the
Blue Ridge circuit restraing a negro
organization from using the name, in
sigma, emblems and other belongings
of the Ancient Arabic Order of the
Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine.
The negro organization calls itself
Rabban Temple. Ancient Egyptian Ar

Shrine Of North and South America
and their Jurisdiction, thereby giving
a few extra words for good measure

polysyllabic nomenclature.

the order, or have relatives In YaaraD

Washington in, 1902. The local tenn
pie was chartered In 1908 but local

for officers OF the temple, the same fez
and the same emblems used by the
