 from one I recall when I'd get up at 8
 o'clock in the morning to go to a fire,
 and now the whole town might burn down and I'd sleep through it peacefully and calmly. And as for Fourth of July
 celebrations, Lord how thankful I am
 that I don't have to take part in them

 everybody used to be baking and cooking
 and getting ready for a Fourth of July
 picnic-boiling eggs, making sandwiches.

 or not Then finally starting and blow ing miles and miles into some hot, God for saken place in the woods, where there
 was no resting place that didn't look like an ant hill, or a snake arbor. I can't agree with you that I'd like to be going on some sort of wild jaunt like that to-

Recommendations.

First. Death Benefit Association
recommend the adoption of some plan
for the Inauguration of the insurance
benefit feature to be paid by tie tribe
to some funeral benefit association or
company.
Second. Bonds-I recommend that
the great council see that tie law for
bonding officers in the tribes is car
ried ont.
Third. Organizing-Some plan for
organizing work should be formulated
and 1 recommend that committee be
appointed to look into the formation
of some system for increasing our
membership.
Fourth. District Councils of Great
Chiefs-As 1 said before, the holding
of two district councils of TIE great
chiefs, would be a great benefit to the
order and, therefore, recommend that
resolutions be adopted which would
make it obligatory on the tribe in each
district to mold at least one distric'
convention during each great sun.
Conclusion.
Now in conclusion, let me say that
the greatest ambition of my life, since
becoming a Red Man, was to be great
saetem of the great council of South
Carolina. You honor me by electing
me to that position and l assure you
that l shall never forget the Red Men.

you placed in me and have always

not a burden, because love the prin-
ciples Of Redmanship and love its

Organizing.
Immediately after my election as
great sac. EN-, I had several confer
ences WITH the brothers in view of in
creasing the membership and number
of tribes, and as a result | was able
to secure the services of Brothers J. H.
Fammett, A. n. Lunsford and J. A.
McGraw. These brothers worked hard
and faithful and succeeded in organ
izing a number Of tribes. l went per-
sonalIy and instituted t.ese tribes.
Everything was working smootuly un
til t e outbreak of the European war,
which caused financial distress in the
reservation, thereby causing number
of people to be out O: employment and
making it hard for us to organiza
other tribes. l then began a campaign
to hold the membership we already
mad. l believe t at we should have
some kind of an organization work to
increase the membership and l have
given much thought to plans for such
campaign. If t1is is done on a bust
ness basis, the order will continue to
increase and prosper.
District Conventions.
I believe tat we should re-organize
our District conventions and require
a meeting to be held by the tribes Of
the district at least once each great
sun. There mas been only two dis
trict conventions Eeld this great sun,
