GEORGIA WITCHCRAFT
 PROMISES RELIEF FOR MOST ILLS
By Julian Granger UP. Staff Correspondent

ATLANTA, Ga CUP )--DO you have warts or asthma? Is that mad dog troubling you? Has somsone bewitched your cream so that the butter won't come?
 Relief can be yours, according to the believers, if you try witch craft. The practice of it's myster- ics started with the Pharaohs. and today it still has thousands of devotees in Georgia.
 For instance. in the piney woods of South Georgia. bel;ev- CTS in witchcraft have just the thing to cure asthma.
 The sufferer first bores hole in the front door of his home and then Stuffs a lock of hair in it. Someone else is called in to drive stob in the hole, tightly binding the lock of hair. When the loose ends are shipped off with scissors, asthma is supposed to disappear.
 Cure for Worts
 Warts. the witchcrattsman says. will disappear if sprinkled with earth from a neWnade grave. A,,J # tb,t ,,,,J JCcr Lito ;c eroi ting bad. just rub it with few sprouts of churchyard grass and you'll be fixed up
 Just as Witchcraft can bless. so it can curse. Recently, police fo- und fresh evidence that witch craft still is practised in Atlanta from "curSed" merchant
 Every morning when he opened his shop, he told officers, he found a circle of salt before his door. The Egyptians originated the use of salt to bring on curse. StreWn in circle before a door, salt means that death will come to the house
 Again, when the plight of Juanita MsMichen. 19. who was suffering an eight-day siege of hiccoughs, was publicized, most of the suggested remedies from interested callers came directly from the lore of witchcraft.
 Metal Sure Cure"
 One suggestion was that a nickel and a dime be boiled in water and the brew given to her For ages. any kind of metal has been regarded by the super stitious as sure-cure of what ails you In Georgia, an amulet about the neck or horseshoe over the door is the usual prac- tice with metals.
 The wary male in this state is rarely without some object of metal in his pocket that he can rub across his fingers whenever he feels the Evil Eye on him.
 But, like the general scheme of witchcraft. the use of metal works both ways. To touch it if you are already under enchant- ment. says the practitioners, is to court disaster.
 Witchcrafts fool-proof charm. however, according to it's belle vers. is this: Sweep dew into your hands on a May morning and then chant whatever your heart desires.
 That ons is supposed never to fail.

June Board Deaths

In checking yer death certifi-
Gates mailed to the office for the
June Board, we find that there seems
to be quite few irregularities on
the part of some of our good presi-
dents. Presidents, it is going to be
absolutely necessary tn at we be
more careful in taking in members.
When president makes a gross
mistake it not only hurts his local
lodge, but every member in the en-
tire Association is affected.
We are having entirely too many
deaths. When a lodge takes in a
member that is too old or whose
health is bad, Section ~" under Ar
ticle "15" Of our Constitution pro
vides that each member of this par
ticular lodge shall be fined $500 and
suspended not t. exceed two years gears
1t should be, when applications are
sent to the office for new members
and renewals that we would feel safe
in issuing said policies, etc, without
any fear or doubt, but the office is a
bit skeptical when some of our good
presidents send in applications for
renewals or new members.
When a member of any local lodge
sits surpinely by and sees his lodge
violate the laws of the Constitution
he is making himself liable for sus-
pension and a fine.

If you will read at the bottom of

am afraid that some of our pres
idents, when they lose member by
death, fail to read this line. We do
know where president has mem
Der who happens to live in a diff
ferent city that it will most likely
take more than eight days to get the
blank properly filled out by all con-
cerned, but we are having some
presidents to lose membeds who live
in the same town, to take their own
time about looking after their bust
ness.

All Applications for
Membership Must Come
Through Lodge

We have had some complaints from
local lodges that some of our presi-
dents have been bringing applica-
ton blanks to the General Board to
be o.k'ed by the General President
without having had the lodge to
vote on said applicants. We would
like to inform all concerned that all
application blanks for membership
in the local lodges must come
through the local lodges as our Con-
stitution provides.
Your secretary record should show
when these applications were re
ceived and turned over to the pro-
per committee; when the candidates
were initiated; when the certificates
were issued, etc.
Presidents, you are requested to
keep an accurate record of all ap-
plications that come through your
lodge.
If you do not have an official sec
rotary record, you should get one
and help us to keep your records.

County Miners "Out"
This Week

Coal miners at all union mines
in this territory are idle this
week, because, they say, that so
far the coal operators have not
agreed to contribute or arrange
for pensions or welfare fund call
ed for in their contract.
At Norton, George Esser, of the
Virginia Coal Operators Associ-
alton, said that so far as he could
learn all 40 mines connected with
the group were down.
These mines account for about
5000 men and a weekly output
of 100000 tons.
At least another 5000 miners
are idle at II Buchanan county
mines.
So far as can be learned, all
union mines in Dickinson county
are idle. 1t is supposed that the
truck mines will continue to op-
crate.
So far the coal operators have
not given any indication of yield
ing to the demands of the union
