GENERAL INGLIs AND THE BIG
REUNION

General John l.. Inglis was in the
city Friday, and those who had the
pleasure of seeing him say that he is
making big preparations FOR the forth
coming reunion of the United Con
federate Veterans, to be held in Jack
sonville early next May Instead CT
having the cid soldiers march in pa-
rade, as heretofore. owing to their
growing feebleness, General Inglis is
making arrangements to have them
parade in automobiles, and for this
purpose owners of automobiles, ali
the way from Quincy to jacksonville.
up and down the east coast and
throughout this section of Florida.
are donating their cars for the pur-
pose. 1t is proposed to make it the
biggest automobile parade ever seen,
at least in Florida.
General ILglis is very hopeful and
NEST sanguine that the reunion will,
in every way, be most delightful
and memorable enc.
Or course il will not be as largely
attended By the old soldiers as some
of the former reunions, for the rea-
son that every year their ranks are
being rapidly depleted.
So far as he is himself concerned,
General Inglis is leaving no stone I'M
turned to enlist enthusiasm and have
the entire state take part in the dem
onstration.
Although an adopted son of the
south, General Inglis has proudly
worn the Confederate button in near
ly all parts of the world He is true
to its colors and traditions.

L. S. Light, the farmer legislator
of Marion county, has made a wise
decision in keeping out of the con-
gressional race and devoting his tai
ents to the work of the Florida leg
islature, TO which he will undoubted-
ly be reelected. Mr.. Light has been
an able representative of the state
body, but whether he could get to the
front in the national body is a ques-
ton. He would have to fight his way
up. In the Florida legislature he is

KNIGHTS OF PYTHiAS CELE.
BRATE FIFTIETH ANNI-
VERSARY

Fifty year sage Thursday the
Knights of Pythias lodge was organic
ed in Washington, D. c., by Justus
Henry Rathbone, who in early life
was an actor and rover
While he aided in the organization
of Washington Lodge No l at Wash
ipgton, he withdrew therefrom almost
Immediately because he thought an
effort was being made to rob him of
the precedence OF the first past chan
ceilOr of the order He seems to have
been man who was very jealous Of
his authority. and who was determin-
ed that no one should displace him in
any position of honor that he held or
thought himself entitled to. He re-
manned out of the order for two years,
when he joined Franklin Lodge No. 2
at Washington. When he filed his ap-
plication for membership therein he
noted the fact that he was the sole
originator of the order"
Rathbone had heard a passing ac-
qu2intance make reference to the
beautiful story of Damon and Pythias
ard that this narration had determin-
ed him upon his course to christen
the order with this appellation. He
had from the first inception of the
idea in his nina been attracted to the
term Knights but he could not de-
termine just what else the order
should be called.
This order now has 100000 mem
bers, and yesterday or last night ev-
cry K of P. lodge in the United States
held a service in commemoration of
this birthday anniversary.
The lodge in this city held a short
service. There was a good attend
ance and the meeting was a most in.
teresting one. Judge Gober is the
head of the lodge here.

In the last issue of the Times-Her-
aid there appeared a screed from j
L. Burt, one of duet of vote ma.
nipulators who would have you think
that they carried the Heights vote in
their pockets.
This editor-candidate is not con-
cerned about anything this duet of
political bulldozers may say of him.
He made his recent charge sufficient
ly clear to the average mind, and that
charge has not been met. There is
nothing more for him to say.
But he does object to the Burt at
tack on the young man who, as de-
putty registration officer in the
Heights, so far as we know, has only
performed his sworn duty by regis
tering all corners. Who this young
man supports for State Senator is his
own business, but that he should be
the object of venomous attack by
this self-appointed conservator of the
Heights opinion and vote, is mat
ter of public concern.
This registration officer and his
brother, both young men who in their
political activities have been actuated
by concern for the public good rath-
er than any motive of political or per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, happen at
this time to be supporting a man for
high Office who has not received the
Burt stamp of approval. But this
fact, we submit, is not one which
should subject them to personal in
suit, or hold them up to public exc
Grafton. So far as we have been able
to learn these young men have only
exercised their inalienable rights as
American citizens to support for pub
lie Office the men who seem to them
most fitted to administer the office in
the interests of the whole people.
Mr.. Burt's attack on these young
men is all the more scurrilous be-
cause he knew at the time it was
penned that they were in no way gull =.
ty of qualifying the negroes to vote.

Remains of Joseph's Well.

The remains of the original Joseph's
well are to be found at spot situated
directly on the canal route from Sche-
chem to Memphis. about two miles
southeast Of Cairo. The well itself is
in the courtyard of some barracks be
longing to the army of occupation.
Near by is ''the citadel" the second
largest mosque in Egypt. The well
bears signs Of having ben bricked up.
Yet it is easy to see that Joseph's dis
comtiture could not have been so great
as one might imagine. for this well,
like all the wells of Egypt, is of a cir
conference much larger than those of
today, and Joseph would have been
able to exercise his limbs with ease by
walking around it. Moreover. when
the Nile is low these wells are quite
dry@New York sun.
