Aug. 30, 1930. s( Special to the Palmetto Leader) The 31st annual session of the Grand Lodge, I. B. P. Or E. of W. i closed at noon today?the milling > -it ^ -? :. -^M : ^ HON. G. LEE RATLIFF Gfl&nd Esteemed Loyal Knight crowds leaving on trains, automobiles._?nd -boats for their several hometf in yflhiniia parts of the couptry, after the must,peaceful meeting in the history of the Order. Much successful legislation was enacted for the future -benefit of the Order, and if carried out, the memWshin will inoroasp hv leans and I bounds.* The only stormy event to take place during the sessions, came Wtfien the Committee on Law and i ' r . Supervision reported and recommended that all Grand Lodge officers ex-, cept the trustees and auditors, be -elected for two years. The mention of this recommendation brought about a storm of protest from the large delegation, and only subsided when the proponent of the intended law, withdrew the proposition, amid loud and thunderous applaus. The Virginia case, recently decided by Judge Groner against the Grand Lodge in favor of th? would-be secessionist, came in the reports of the Grand Exalted Ruler and Grand Legal Adviser, but the delegates, bent on staying in the present ranks, did ^not give heed, or1" take the action of the disgruntled ex-office holders, seriously. - The Supersedeas already taken by the Grand Legal Adviser, had a soothing effect, and the dele gates made themselves contented that it would, be many a day?ffer-. haps many years before the disgrunI * tied element would have a chance to pilfer and plunder the Order, if at 11. v --The reports - of.- all officers were --r? heartily received, and in view of the economical depression prevailing throughout the country, much favorable comhnent was given the officers for keeping the expenses of operation down to" the minimum. 1 For the first time in many years, the election of officers was without serious ^opposition?only one contest j bringing any considerable attention. Joseph -H. James, Jr!, of Jacksonville, t^l - .1 J..J.1 ' 1 L_. A 11 rw., was stoutly opposeu oy Attor ney.Roy Barnes of Baltimore, Md. Dr. 3. Leonard Leach of Flint, Mich., and Hon. G. Lee RatTifF of Columbia, ; S. C., for the office of Grand Esteemed Loyal Knight. The cause of Mr. Ratliff," who being almost unknown ; to the delegates, was espoused by ; : Hon. R. E. Pharrow oLAtlanta, Ga., Senior Grand Trustee as cahipaign manager. The friends of all candidates worked like trojans during the ~' f~ ' t 1 HON. K; E. PHARROW B?rtiopr (Grftnd TVustae. l *+ " ' Jtojikf-r i in 1 . = ..." r ??v w~ Bind Successful Ses y of "the Order-.atliff elected entire week for their favorite, eacir predicting victory. But the superior generalship of Mr. Pharrow was shown when, in tVio ?*..i , ... v.iv lltvob lUICt'IUI speech of his life, he nominated Mr. Ratliff so eloquently, that before he could take his seat, the great throng arose and yelled themselves "hoarse for the man who had worked so assidiously to put Elkdom on such a high plane in South Carolina.'' It had been coonceded by old timers who have been attending the Grand Lodge for years, that Mr.; James, on account of his long attendance upon various meetings of the body, and having held the post for three terms without opposition, cOupded with his great popularity, that he could not easily be dethroned by a man scarcely known. Your correspondent had several talks with Mr. Pharrdw, and even went so far as to advise him to withdraw his candidate, fearing hg would be buried un-der. an avalanche of votes. But to these pleadings, Mr. Pharrow gave a dea^ ear, and said "it is only a bat-, tie of wits and good leadership, and that he would put his man over." And he did. ^ ~ ' "" ' ' ThUs Mr. JameS5 was the oiily oFticer of the Grand Lodge in the old administration to fail of re-election and his vote was so negligible that his supporters hardly knew he was in the running?he only having "54 votes out of a total of more than 700, lvjtvinir n vnt-o nf B1H I candidates. Your correspondent has known and watched Mr. Pharrow for years, and he being a man of few words at the various conventions, tard~ittUe confidence that he could so easily and unmercifully cause the defeat of one supposed to be so close to the Powers that be. But Mr. Pharrow is to be highly complimented for the expert manner in which he handled the campaign without a word of encouragement from the administration.
