Whereas, The representatives of
various secret societies of the state
of Missouri have convened for the
purpose of discussing such means as

Resolved, (D That we first declare
it to be our finding that the basic
principles of secret societies are the
most important and necessary ele-
ments to be fostered by our race.
Resolved t2) That the emphasis and
stress now being put upon financial
benefits for members is deterrent
rather than promotion of the ideals
of Friendship, Morality, Truth and
Brotherly Love.
Resolved, go That in these princi-
pies alone is to be found the only
proper field for rivalry among our
people, each individual and each or
ganization striving for the highest de-
gree of excellence in these; that we
keeping with the supreme purposes of
social, moral and religious ethics.
| Resolved, ca That all financial
benefits accruing from membership in
secret, fraternal institutions are real
ly subordinate and immaterial, when
weighed beside the higher interests
and that such financial benefits should
always be calculated upon such sound
| and reliable schedules as will forever
protect the more sacred tenets of
fraternity.
Resolved, (5) That for such finan'
cial benefits all secret societies among
our people should operate upon the
same system in order that no unbus'
inesslike pledges be made through ill
advised desire to excel even in the
face of known vital statistics and in
surance data.
Resolved, co. That in order to at
tain such ends for the benefit OF the
subordinate members of our secret so
cieties we recommend that the various
NEGRO fraternities of Missouri consti
tute themselves into fraternal union
the directors of which shall be com
posed of the grand presiding Officer
and two other members selected from
each organization.
Resolved. CD That said Fraterna
Union shall meet at such times as

meeting being made by the chairman

Albany, Ga, Feb. 1S-An injunction

said to be new in law, and which will
also he watched closely by boards OF
trade in all Georgia cities, because II

this city before Judge E. e. Cox, of the
superior court next Saturday.
The case is that of j. w. Walters
VS. the City of Albany, being a petition
to enjoin the city council from con-
tributing to the financial support OF
the Albany chamber of commerce.
When the suit was first filed by Col
Walters, who is a prominent attorney
of this city, in his own name as a tax
payer and citizen, it was given out ~
Mayor II. A Tarver and other mem
bers of the city council that the suit
would not be defended on behalf of the
city On maturer consideration, how
ever, it was decided to give the legal
points a thorough testing, and the
case will be carried to the highest
court of the state if necessary.
City Attorney James Tiff Mann has
gone into the case with thoroughness,
and has filed an answer to Col Wal
ters' petition for injunction.
1t is said that the outcome of this
case will determine the relation of a
chamber of commerce, or other trade
body, to the municipal government,

decided in Georgia

Gen. R. Saxton (U S. Al in report

an incident in this war has caused a

During this occupancy, Jacksonville
was burned by Federal troops. A cor
respondent of the New York Tribune
wrote a graphic description of the fire
which was probably overdrawn, from
the deck of the transport Boston, then
lying in the harbor. He charged the
crime of burning the city to the Eighth

Hines, Ala.-'1 must confess, says
Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of this place, "that
Cardui, the woman's tonic, has done me
great deal of good.
Before | commenced using Cardui, |
would spit up everything ate. had a
tired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was
irregular. could hardly drag around,
and would have severe headaches con-
tinuousy.
Since taking cardui, have entirely
quit splitting up what | eat. Everything

gained 10 pounds in weight"
If you are a victim of any of the numer-
Gus ills so common 10 your sex, il is
wrong to suffer.
For half a century, Cardui has been re-
lieving just such ills, as is proven by the
thousands of letters, similar TO the above,
which pour into our office, year by year.
Cardui is successful because it is COM

state O. Florida pays out more money
per capita for the support of dependent

descendants, visit Jacksonville on the
occasion OF the Gath annual reunion of
tie United Confederate Veterans AS
sociation that they will be in the hands
Of their friends. The reunion will be
held May 6, and 8.
There are 1888 soldier pensioners on
tn rolls of the tsate and 1927 widows
Of Con. ederates, making a total of 4,S60
The fund to support this pension roll
is raised by tax of four mills on the
assessed property of the taxpayers.
Florida is not only caring for the
living but the memory Of the dead is
also kept green. Throughout the state
