The Advocate

Washington, D. G., April 27. An announcement from the White House that Mr. Albert S. White, a colored man of Louisville, Kentucky, has been appointed to a representative office, either in Washington or in the Diplomatic Service, should not be surprising. It may not be a long time either before this announcement is made. Authoritative sources of the highest character offer the information that a positive promise on the part of the Administration has been made to Mr. White and his friends that he would in the very near future be given substantial recognition in the way of a good political position. Mr. White came to the city some days ago, and since that time he and Senator Bradley of Kentucky, who is putting up the strongest kind of fight for the colored man, have left no stones un-turned. The Senator and Mr. White had a conference with the President last Wednesday, both coming away from the White House very much pleased. The Ministership to Haiti is being discussed as the probable position Mr. White will be offered, as it is generally believed that Mr. Harry Furnace, the present incumbent will soon relinquish this post. In case the Administration does not provide for Mr. White in the Diplomatic Service a place in Washington will very likely be given him. Among the Washington places discussed are the Recordership of Deeds for the District and the Registership of the Treasury. Last Friday for the first time in its history the Washington Police Court had the experience of having a United States Senator appear before it, and strange too, this Senatorial appearance was in defense of a colored man. Robert Pelham a colored clerk in the Census Office, whose home is in Detroit, Michigan, had been arrested the Saturday night previous by Policeman John Watts, whit, of the Eighth precinct. The arrest and the story connected with it, in some way, came to the knowledge of Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan, and he immediately communicated with Mr. Pelham, offering his services in his defense. On the Saturday evening mentioned Polleman Watts, whose patrol district includes a number of blocks along Northwest 14th street, for some trivial affair arrested a colored man and his wife. Placeing handcuffs on them they were dragged to a call box on 14th street where a large crowd soon assembled. Mr. Pelham happened along at that time and he too joined the crowd. Watts twisting the colored woman's handcuffed wrist caused her to turn her face towards him, whereupon he struck her a brutal blow across the forehead with his club, laying that portion of her face open. So badly did he beat the colored woman that when the patrol wagon did arrive they were obliged to send her to the hospital instead of the station house. Pelham is a "red-blooded colored man—he couldn't stand to a defenseman so inhumanly beaten without doing something in her aid. He drew an envelope and asked one or two witnessing the affair for their names and addresses, Policeman Watts saw this, and as soon as his beaten victim had been thrown into the patrol wagon he singled Mr. Pelham out of the crowd and arrested him. Scores of Pelham's friends were on hand at the police station to help him. He quickly deposited the five dollars collateral and left to appear in court which he did last Friday. When the Senator arose to take charge of Mr. Pelham's defense, Judge Kimball asked him his name, "Smith," answered the Senator, "Are you a member of the bar?" "Yes," was the almost inaudible reply of the Michigan Statesman. A little later the court discovered that "Smith" was none other than William Alden Smith, United States Senator from Michigan To say that the whole court bulged his eyes, sat up and took notice would be putting it mildly. Policeman Watts had to be supported. Mr. Pelham was discharged. He went immediately before the Police Trial Board and filed charges against Policeman Watts, and you may safely risk your farm that when Mr. Pelham and Senator Smith have finished with Policeman Watts he will never beat another colored woman, that is, in the capacity of a Washington police officer. It was the same patrolleeman, John Watts, who last June arrested Ex-Register of the Treasury, Judson W. Lyons and Nathan Alexander Receiver of Public Money at Montgomery, Alabama. Mr. Lyons, it is to be regretted, failed to take his case, to the Trial Board although he was urged at the time to do so, and was assured that he had a good case. On Saturday, the 24th, The Librarian Commission composed of Messrs. Sale, Merrill and Emmett J. Scott, sailed from New York to take up the study of missions in the African Republic and to cruisers Chester, and to whom were used to convey the news and their attendants to Librarian Scott. It is the only colored man. The Commission, and it is said that an ugly and somewhat embarrassing situation arose in New York just before they sailed. Some of the officers accompanying The Commission are said to be southern men and were adverse to going on the same ship with the colored Commissioner. All The Commission were sent on the Chester and most of the others were provided for on the Birmingham. The Commission will spend about a month in Lizeria before retiring here. The Philippine Constabulary Band gave its last concert in Washington at Balacco's Theater last Sunday evening. This is the most famous musical organization in the United States and has scored many musical triumphs during its stay here. While the band is leaving Washington it will not, however, leave the United States until next September. They will tour many of the states, spending much time at New York and Atlantic City. They will also be heard at Winchester, Va., Martinsburg, West Va., Hagerstown, Cincinnati and many other places. The most interesting feature of this band, from the colored people's standpoint is, its Director, Capt. Walter Lovering who is a colored man. Capt. Lovering graduated from the Washington High School and went into the army during the Spanish-American War, going to the Philippines with his company. Later he was mustered out of service there and then it was that he organized this now famous band. During his stay here he has been lionized by all Washington, and particularly the colored people and their society. Who Risked Their Lives, to Save Others and Were so Regarded by the Carnegie Hero Commission Which Made Ample Provision for Those Depend- Upon Them. Not the least thrilling of the acts of heroism recognized by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission since the establishment of the fund to and including January 31st, 1909 were those performed by two colored men. The first, John B. Hill, being numbered 107 on the Commission's report just issued, aged thirty-five, coachman, rescued Thomas S. Prescott, aged six, and Florence Williams (colored), aged twenty-one, from a runaway, Atlanta, Ga., December 1, 1905. By grabbing the bridle of one of the horses of a runaway team hitched to a landau containing the child and maid, Hill, after being dragged some distance, threw the horse. It fell upon him breaking the stitches of a wound due to a recent operation. Hill was awarded a bronze medal and $500 to reimburse him for pecunially loss sustained account of injuries. Hero number 141, George A. Grant, aged thirty-three, teamster, sustained fatal injuries rescuing Charles G..Campbell, aged forty-six, President American Painting & Decorating Co., and Charles A. Whipple, aged forty-eight, superintendent of building construction, from a runaway, Groton Conn.. June 23, 1906. Grant grasped the bridle of one of the horses, and finding himself unable to control the other horse, because its bridle was off, he threw the one he had hold of, and was kicked on the neck and run over by the vehicle. He died the second day after. The award in this case was a Silver Medal and $25 a month for the support of widow, during her life, or until she remarries, with $5 a month additional for each of four children, until each reaches age of sixteen. These two were the only Negroes among the 246 heroes recognized by the Commission. In South's History Was Negro Honored Higher. (By Horace D. Slatter) Normal, Ala. April 24. William H. Councill, for thirty-five years President of the Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes, located here, and who more than any other one Negro did real pioneer work in the effort to establish the idea of industrial education for the masses of the race, was buried here last Wednesday just across the driveway from the beautiful Carnegie Library, in the presence of more than 5000 persons of both races from all parts of the South. Never \nIn the history of the South had so much honor been paid to a Negro man, born in slavery. It is said of President Councill that he did more than any other single character to help in the uplift of his people. Prominent Negroes were here from all parts of the South, who could reach the school in time for the obsequious, and a special train conveyed more than 400 people to the campus from Hunleyville. The body of President Council lay in state in the Carnegie Library from Saturday, April 17th until Wednesday, where it was viewed by the students, members of the Faculty, neighbors of Normal, and visiting graduates and acquaintances, besides the vast concourse of people assembled at the funeral. The exercises began promptly at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, when the march of students began, with the Institute band playing a funeral march, all of whom took their places in front of the Carnegie library. The Independent Order of Immaculates, of which Prof. Cousill was one of the founders, conducted the preliminaries. The Rev. S. E. Wasson, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church, South, prayed the opening prayer. Rev. R. E. Brooks, pastor of the African Methodist Episcopal church, Huntsville, Rev. W. S. Johnson, presiding elder of the Birmingham district, A. M. E. church, and Rev. J. M. Goodlood of North Alabma district, conducted the religious opening exercises. Appropriate resolutions from the Faculty were read by Mrs. H. M. F. Archer, from the Alumni by Dr. J. Turner R. Thomas, Birmingham, Miss Isora R. Garrett, Nashville, Tennessee, and Mr. J. H. Poe, Huntsville, Ala; the student body, Mahon Cooley; North Alabama/Conference, Rev. W. B. Johnson. The funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. J. M. Handerson, President of Payne University, Selma, Alabama, from the Text." For since by man came death, by man also came the resurrection from the dead." 8 Cor. 15, xxi. Dr. Henderson bald a high tribute to the memory of President Councill and declared that he was right when he taught the members of the race that in order to advance themselves, they must place themselves in position to render the world good service. Addresses by Hon. S. J. Mayhew, President of the Board of Commissioners, Hon.' Ben P. Hunt and David A. Grayson, members of the Board; the funeral oration by the Hon. H. V. Cashin, of Decatur, Alabama, and the special music for the occasion were the principal features of the funeral ceremonies. Short addresses were delivered by Dr. R. F. Boyd, Hon. J. C. Napier, A. N. Johnson and Ira T. Bryant, all of Nashville and special musical numbers were sung as follows: Solo, "Face to Face," Miss Bertha L. Late, Montgomery, Alabama; "One Sweetly Solemn Thought," A. and M. College Glee Club; "In The O Lord," Miss Ellen Henderson, Nashville, Tenn; "Crossing the Bar," Miss Isora R. Garnett, Nashville, Tenn; "Somewhere," Glee Club Quartette; and a quartette composed of Misses Virginia C., Sussannah W., Eloise and Mr. W. L. Clay, sung a requiem that was composed for the funeral of their late father, Hon. J. W. Clay, once governor of the state of Alabama and editor of the Huntsville Democrat. Many of the people present pronounced this the most remarkable tribute ever paid to the Negro of the South. Hundreds of telegrams and messages of condolence were received from all parts of the nation, and a magnificent floral offerings from many organizations, were displayed and banked high upon the grave where his body was consigned to rest. William H. Councilill was born a slave at Fayetteville, S. C., in 1848 and was therefore 61 years of age. He was brought to Alabama by slave traders in 1857 through a famous Rielmond slave pen. He was a self- made man, having hard but mild advantages. He attended one of the first schools opened by northern friends at Stevenson, Ala., in 1865 and there he remained three years. That was the basis of his education. He was close and earnest student all his life, often spending whole nights in study. He accumulated an extensive library and the best books of the best masters were his constant companions. By private instruction and almost almostive study he gained fair knowledge of some of the languages, higher mathematics, and the sciences as well as the law. He was admitted to practice before the supreme court of Alabama in 1833. His career is an illustration of what close application to study will accomplish. A few years ago he visited Great Britain and Continental Europe and Gladstone, Premier and other great personages, including King Leopold, if Belgium. Founded Private School. Founded Private School. He founded a private school in Huntsville a short time after the civil war and in 1875 it was adopted as a state school and incorporated as the Agricultural and Mechanical College For Negroes. The school was moved to its present location several years ago and it has grown into an institution with hundreds of students. He was highly regarded by the white race and it has been stated that he was not so thoroughly appreciated by his own race as other able but more spectacular men. His time was much sought after by great conventions and assemblies and his advice was always sound. His advice to the Negro race in all of his lectures everywhere has been for the Negro to remain in the South among the people wh. understand him and have no prejudice against him. For a time this advice was hooted at but. Prof. Council lived to see his opinion generally accepted as right. He maintained that there has never been a race problem between the southern white people and the Negroes and his theory was that there never would be a problem of that kind if the Negro would buckle down to making his way in the world through the mechanical arts and industries and foreign aspirations for social equality—which he maintained was impossible now and all time to come. Prof. Council, had been in bad health since 1900 but never gave up his work until within the last twelve months. His widow, three sons and one daughter survive him! They are Dr. W. L. Councili of Huntsville; Herbert Council, a mail carrier of Chicago; Dement Council of Normal and Miss Ida Council of Normal. Race , Won by Sixteen-Year-Old Colored Boy. Frankfort, Ky., April 25.—The contract will soon be awarded and plans drawn for the erection of the administration building of the Colored State Normal School from native stone. This building will be erected at a cost of $40,000, in accordance with an appropriation made by the last General Assembly. The use of native stone in this building follows the architecture of all buildings erected of stone at the capital, with the exception of thenew capital building, which is erected of Bedford stone, with a base of Vermont granite and marble interior, at a cost of $1,750,000. The old capitol building, greatly admired by all the architects who came to bid on the new capitol building, and the great Irish leader, Parnell, who declared he had never seen a finer structure and commented that it should never be torn down, but preserved for its architectural beauty, was erected in 1829 of Kentucky stone, known as "Kentucky marble." The Capitol Hotel, known as one of the finest buildings in the country was erected of this native stone. The "Old Vest Home," at the south entrance of St. Clair street bridge, known as the birthplace of the late Senator George Graham Vest is built of this native stone. The magnificent residence of Senator Thomas H. Paynter, on Shelby street, and probably the best private residence in Frankfort, the built of native stone. This building was erected within the last five years, when Senator Paynter, was on the Appellate bench. The walls of the Kentucky Penitentiary, erected a century ago, of this stone are as substantial as when erected. The old Williams house, on East Main street, near the senexal, is one of the oldest residences in Frankfort CONTINUOUS ON PAGE FOUR Thompson's National News Bureau, Washington, D. C., April 28. No Department of Howard University has shown more substantial progress than the School of Medicine. It was established in 1868 as an outcome of the determined stand taken by Gen. O. O. Howard, Dr. Robert Reyburn and other sturdy pioneers forces that the colored people of the nation should have trained men in the healing art and that ample facilities should be provided to demonstrate what the race could accomplish along the higher professional lines. Though designed primarily for the benefit of the proscribed Negro, no restriction is made on account of color. The advantages of the school are open to all races, and its liberal policy has proven helpful to white and black alike. To date the Medical Department has graduated 1,108 students - 778 medical 142 dental and 188 pharmaceutic. The sessions have gradually been lengthened until they now run to June 1, and the number of years have been increased from two to four. The enrollment for the present year is over 400. Ever abreast with the increasing demand for thoroughness of preparation for the exacting obligations that the modern physician must meet, Howard University not only offers a regular course in medicine and dentistry, but has organized a Post-Graduate School and Polyclinic, which offers an opportunity for advanced instruction in these branches for both those who have completed the prescribed course, and for the general practitioner of standing from the outside, who find that they are better able to keep in touch with the latest developments in medicine, surgery, dentistry, pharmacy and the allied sciences by spending a few weeks each year in a well-appointed school of this type. The two exceedingly prosperous sessions held so far indicate that the value of such a movement is appreciated by the profession and its permanency is therefore assured. Announcement is now made that the third session of this highly useful branch of the Medical Department of Howard University is to begin on Monday, May-10, and to continue six weeks for the medical course, and four weeks for the dental course. The forthcoming session bids fair to outstrip all previous years both in attendance and in the benefits conferred, because of the wider reputation the school has gained and by reason of the completion of the new and magnificent $500,000 Freedman's Hospital, which will be utilized as the seat of the important clinical and laboratory work. Eminent authorities have pronounced this hospital to be the most thoroughly equipped institution of its kind in the land, and they assert, without reservation, that by virtue of the peculiarly favorable environment in which it is situated, that its facilities for clinical demonstration are unsurpassed anywhere. Two hundred persons are easily accommodated. The interior wards and dispensary for out-door patients being constantly full, ample material is always at hand for practice and observation of the most varied and profitable character. The report of the hospital for the year ending June 30, 1908, shows the care of 2,588 inpatients, 5019 out-patients, 1003 surgical operations and 235 births, evidencing by such a record the wide scope of its activities and the unlimited opportunities for experience that may be found there. The special course arranged for the Post-Graduate School of Medicine will embrace Surgery, gynecology, bacteriology, pathology, clinical medicine, physical diagnosis, mental and nervous diseases, ophthalmology, physical therapeutics — including electro-therapeutics, X-ray work, Finsen light and other essential branches. The special course in dentistry will consist of the fastest approved methods in operative and prosthetic dentistry and its various ramifications, with particular attention to anatomical articulation and artistic arrangement of false teeth, color blending, etc. The school is fortunate in being located in Washington, amid congenial surroundings and among citizens heartily in sympathy with all who aspire. The superior advantages of going to a school of this kind in the beautiful and inexhaustible national capital lies largely in the fact that there are open to the students a number of scientific libraries such as can be found nowhere else on the continent. In the Surgeon-Genecal's Office there are over 150,000 works on medicine and collateral sciences. The Library of Congress containing 800,000 books, many of which are medical; the well-stocked Patent, Office Library, and the Carnegie Public Library are likewise available. The Army Medical Museum, the finest of its kind in the world, showing 25,000 surgical and anatomical specimens; the National museum and Smithsonian Institution with their immense collections, illustrating the natural sciences, materia medica, etc., and the Museum of Hygiene, are a few of the many places where priceless technical information may be absorbed without cost by those who come to seek knowledge from the fountain-head. A survey of the familiar names in the faculty list attests the rare quality of the instruction that will be given this year by the Howard Post-Graduate School and Polyclinic. Each chair is filled by an expert in his particular branch of inquiry. Each loves his work for what it represents to humanity and knows how to best impart his rich fund of knowledge to his students. Dr. E. A. Bailoch succeeds the late Dr. Robert Reyburn as Dean of the Medical Department, and it goes without the saying that the high standard of efficiency reached through the firm, business-like methods of that beloved friend and sagacious counselor will be fully maltained by his talented successor. Dr. William C. McNell follows the late Dr. F. T. Shadd as secretary of the Department, and to him those in search of information touching the school should now apply. Dr. Shadd, whose readiness to extend, practical aid to the humble student, who had problems of poverty to solve, who always had a word of cheer for every one who strove faithfully to attain his goal, and his painstaking zeal in enlarging year by year the sphere of Howard's influence, acquired a personal popularity that proved to be one of the school's most valuable assets. It is not doubted that the time honored traditions of the office will be religiously preserved by Secretary McNell. The next six weeks should be a "red letter" period in the history of this progressive School. The success of her Post-Graduate effort will stimulate the profession everywhere, and bring unloved pleasure to the thousands of consecrated young men and women who have gone out into the field from Howard Hill and are performing as best they may their self-imposed task of leavening humanity's lump by living up to the lofty ideals of duty and destiny imbued from the ennobling lessons learned within the sheltering walls of their revered alma mater. NEGRO NEWSBOYS BARRED From Selling, Wares. After the Mur der of a White Lad. Knoxville, Tenn., April 25.—One hundred and fifty Negro boys, who have been in the habit of selling local newspapers, in the streets were unable to purchase papers this morning. A big policeman met all of the Negroes in an alley in the rear of the press-room and told them "there was nothing doing." This action was taken by the management of the paper, as a result of the murder of Allison Harris, the white newsboy, by three Negro boys last week. Racial feeling has been high since and it was feared that white and Negro boys would engage in a fight. The three Negro boys charged with the murder, after being spitted away by officers who feared an attack on the jail, were returned Saturday morning. They had been confined in a building eight miles out. ESCAPED FROM OFFICERS But the Negro Was Captured and Lynch'd by a Progose. Rolling Rock, Miss., April 25. That the Negro, name unknown here who robbed the postoffice at Grace on Friday night had been captured by a mob, and lynched was the report, lacking confirmation, which reached here today. It is not improbable that complications will arise from the affair, as a Postoffice Inspector had made demands for the custody of the Negro and had been refused. During the hearing the Negro confessed to robbing many houses in the Grace neighborhood. Last night, it is said, while the Negro was being taken to jail at Mayorsville, he escaped; from the office. A poststar started in pursuit and it is declared recaptured the Negro and strung him up. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET Chicago, April 28--Wheat, $1.22 corn, 70.71; oats, 8.18. Washington, D. C., April 27 — I am hardly prepared to endorse a bond issue of five hundred millions of dollars to develop the waterways of the United States. I believe that current revenues will be sufficient to work out some comprehensive system of waterway development, sovering a long period of years, but should current revenues fail to meet current obligations, then I would not hesitate to place an additional obligation upon posterity in order that we may have in the United States as perfect a net work of waterways as have the countries of Europe. I say this because posterity for all time will enjoy the vast benefits of such improvement and development." Senator Stephen B. Elkins, of West Virginia, who made the above statement, as Chairman of Committee on Interstate Commerce and as a ranking member of the Committee of Commerce, is essentially an optimist. He believes in the future of the United States and in his conservative legislative work has reflected this optimism on numberless occasions. But Senator Elkins is not a dreamer, his early life having taught him that to do things is better than to dream things. A product of Ohio and raised on a farm, he was early imbued with the idea of securing an education and becoming a lawyer. After his graduation from the University of Missouri in 1860 he was admitted to the bar and afterwards at the close of the war, he went to New Mexico, which territory he represented in the Forty-third and Forty-fourth congresses. From that day to this Stephen B. Elkins has been interested in waterways and does not take any stock in the oft-appeared declaration that the railroads are antagonistic to waterway development in the United States. He says it will take both railroad and waterway to do the carrying business of this country. "What we need in the United States is some fixed plan for improving our rivers which can be made navigable by the expenditure of a conservative sum every year. Plessmeal appropriations are things of the past, so far as waterway development is concerned. We have been too careless and unmindful of the benefits and advantages of these great water courses with which nature has so boundfully supplied us and we have seen whole harbors and rivers closed up which could have been kept open. All this should be prevented and we should harness the rivers, seas and lakes to do their proportion of the work of commercial building as railroads have. The railroad goes everywhere, the river has no feeders, except as it may now and then have a tributary for its course is fixed by immutable laws." "While I am opposed primarily to putting a larger debt upon the American people I feel convinced that sometimes this great waterway problem of development should be borne in a measure, or I may say hargely, by those who come after us. When we have 125,000,000 of people and that time is not so far away, we will need the water course help to handle our great trance especially the heavier and bulkier freight. The river is a slow carrier, for great bulks can only be transported by barges in tow. The railroad is the express messenger to handle the lighter and more portable freight. So that the river and the railroad have each their proper function and we should not be blamed to these conditions. We are in the throes of our second waterway agitation largely due to the work of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress. The first agitation followed hard on the Revolution and in far reaching effect shared with the Declaration of Independence the distinction of having opened the most important area, in American history. The agitation now going on gives abundant promise of a still more far reaching revolution peaceful though it is, than was ever contemplated in the far off days of Washington and Gallatin. We have reached the cross roads of waters and it behooves us to build them not only for ourselves but for posterity. Umpire Pender A dispatch from Roanoke states that Umpire Pender of the Virginia State league narrowly escaped from an infuriated mob of Roanoke citizens who believed he was giving Roanoke the worst of the decisions.

AN HISTORICAL EVENT This year is the semi-centennial of the John Brown raid, and altho one can quite defend his choice of a way to end slavery, yet it had a great sympathetic value, and will be celebrated in various ways. After the War, Storer College was founded at Harper's Ferry to educate colored youth, and the Government gave it several buildings that had been used for the Arsenal and the rifle works there. But the building which John Brown used as his "fort" and where he was captured, was removed to make room for a railroad extension and then taken to Chicago and re-erected as an attraction for the World's Fair.

Leagues have recently been organized at Jackson, Brownsville and Dyersburg, Tennessee by the organizer; while the one at Memphis has been re-organized upon a basis, which gives a reasonable assurance that in the future it will be a potent factor in the material and commercial activities, of the Negro in business in that busy, hustling mart. The Durham, N. C. Dally Sun (white) in its issue of March 13th, says that a meeting of the colored citizens was held last night at which an organization was formed that places them as business men in the very forefront of colored leaders of the South. It furthermore adds that: "The organization is the Colored Business Men's League. Thirty of the leading colored men of the city met and organized this league. The object of this organization is to increase the business spirit among the colored people and to pull together for any enterprise that will build up Durham. "Officers were elected as follows: W. G. Pearson, president; C. C. Spaulding, vice-president; G. W. Adams, recording secretary; P. W. Dawkins, corresponding secretary, and John H. Allen, treasurer. "Executive Committee—Dr. J. L. Warren, chairman; Dr. J. A. Dodson, J. C. Scarboro, Dr. A. M. Moore, Dr. J. E. Shepherd, W. S. Young, John W. O'Daniel and John Merrick." The colored citizens of Franklin, Tennessee, are truly in prosperous and well-to-do circumstances, notwithstanding the smallness of the place (about 2.500 population of both races). The majority of them are but ordinary day laborers, yet there seems to be a craze among them to own a home, no matter how small; and not a few of them are nice cottages, furnished with modern improvements. The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, one of the leading life insurance companies, under Negro management, headquarters, Durham, N. C., will soon erect a large brick and stone structure in Columbia, S. C., on the north-west corner of Park and Washington streets. This building means that the Company intends to make Columbia the headquarters for their business in South Carolina. The structure will be two or three stores in height, and modern in every particular. CHARLESTON, MAY 10.

But naphtha is not the "whole thing", even in naphtha soaps. The quality of the soap with which the naphtha is combined is just as important—more so, in fact, because it is soap, not naphtha, that CLEANS. Naphtha loosens the dirt. Soap cleans. Now, the naphtha in P. & G. Naphtha Soap is identical with that used in other naphtha soaps. But the soap is not the same. It is better. It is harder. It lasts longer. It does more work.

He hoped through the: chain of spies, thirty-three years in the forging, binding the whole em- pire with Constantinople, where jie Sal directing ever move to thwart the People’s will and to regain his van- ishing powers, ‘The successful rebel ion of his provinces did not turn him from his course, but he stigred up his country with fire, massaere, rapine and plunder by appealing to the fanaticism of the lowest dregs of his subjects, oven to the extent that bribed soldiers Killed their officers in gPPAront rebuke, for their iallegiance to the constitutional party. This last stroke was the Sultan's undoing. Fearing lest the fate of thelr comrades would be their own, the surviving officers throw gi the tyrant'p yoke, marched upon the capital, and Abdul, Hamid's years of misrule were ended, ‘The chiof criminal of the century met his fate at Inst.

Coon, of Wilson, N.C, whose address on “Public Taxa tion. and tho Negro,” was. re- plete with ‘facts, statistics and goneral suggestion that made It snvaluable. Briefly summarized, he drew attention to the fact that the South is spending $82,068,851 ‘on her public schools. | Of ‘this amount $28,856,914 Is pad for teachers .white and colored, or 74.4 per ‘cont of the total. 'Ne- Bro teachers are receiving about $3,818,705, or 12 per cent of the total expenditures for all. pur- poses while white teachers are being paid 64.4 per cent, The amount being spent on “Nogro teachers is by far the largest item of expense of the Negro teachers, the south is paying a- bout $917,670 each year of the Negro schools near $4,785,875. These figures relate to the states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Flori: da, Alabama, Mississippl, Louis jana, Texas, “Arkansas and ‘Ten- nessee, which contained 81.4 per ceut of the Negro population In 1900. The Negro population of (hese states is about 40 percent of thelr total population. Hence the Negro school teachers who have charge of about forty out of every hundred of the children of the South are being paid only 12 por cent of the school expen- ditures. ‘The total cost of all the Negro schools is only 14.8 per cent of the $32,068,851 expend- ed. In other words, the white public school in the South which takes care of only 6 Oper cent of the population is between. stx and seven times as expensive as the Negro public school, which takes care of 40 per cent of the population. It is not possible to ascertain accurately what the Negro con- tributes to his own education except in some of these states, In Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia, it is possible to find out approximately whether the No- ro school is a burden on tho white tax payer. If in these states we take the amounts the Negroes actually pay on proper- ty and polls, thelr part ‘of the taxes imposed on railroads and other corporations thelr part of the license taxes devoted to schools, it will be found that the Negroes’ part of the school fund rafsed by Virginia in 1907 was $507,205; North Carolina, In 1908 was $429,197. Georgia in 1907 $647,852. ‘Theso states spent the following sums on’Ne- Ero schools: Virginia’ 1967, $489,228; North Carolina 1908, $402,653; Georgia 1907, $605, 170." Thus it will be séen that when any fair division of the school funds of these. throe states is made, on the race basis the Negroes will fare as well ag they are now faring in the absence of such race divis- ion. It has been generally assumed that the white tax payer is now bearing nearly all the burden of the Negro public schools. But the figures for North Carolina, Virginia and Georgia seem to indiedto clearly that. this is. not. the case. If we divided the present school funds of the South on the race basis, how would we divide the funds raised by taxes on railroad and other cor. poration property. which js ‘not Usted as cither white or black? How would we divide the license taxes and the income from the permanent school funds? It seoms fair to assume that “All such funds would have to. be divided ageording to population, If that ig done then it is not likely that the present cost of the Negro public school is a bur- den on the white tax payers of See eet AN EXCEPTION, é The Nashville Globe is to be eon- sratulated upon the successful out- come of its fight for the establish- ment by the state of a school for the industrial and normal training of Ne- sroes in Tennessee. An appropria- tion of about $27,000, including the Morrill fund, is said to be assured. It is passing strange tnat ‘Tennessee has been able to use all the Morrill fund these many years for’ the in- struction of the whites alone in di, rect violatioh of the act establish- ing the fund.

When very weak it built her up and greatly increased her weight. She strongly recommends it to all in need of a tonic and strength builder. "As a trained nurse, I have often had cases where the attending doctor prescribed Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey when a tonite was needed, and the results were uniformly satisfactory. I was sick from 1900 to 1904, was very weak and to the milk diet, ordered by the doctors. I added a little Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, which helped me wonderfully. From May to August I gained 8½ lbs. A teaspoonful in the morning gave me a good appetite, and when I had a billious attack could retain it when nothing else would remain on my stomach. It has also benefited me when I had the gripe. I prefer it to any other on account of its purity and quality. "When I was taken sick I weighed 155 lbs.

It tones and strengthens the heart FOR AMPLE PROTECTION Washington, April, 25 - Senator Scott, of West Virginia, one of the old time rock-ribbed protectionists of the country, in speaking on the tariff bill in the senate, yesterday, declared that he did so from the standpoint of its effect on the south in general and on West Virginia in particular. Mr. Scott submitted an aggressive series of statistics to show progress that had been made by West Virginia and the south along many lines of industry and declared that his own belief that if it had not been for the benefits of the protective tariff system his state would today be a wilderness, instead of one of the most thriving industrial centers of the country. Mr. Scott insisted that when congress is through with the enactment of a new tariff law "we will not have nearly so good a bill, in my judgement, as the present Dingley law." He said that his section of the country has profited from the tariff in the past and will profit more in the future. "New England, for instance, profits in the past," said Mr. Scott. "New she is ready for a downward revival of the tariff and for free coal if she can. But she southland sees ahead of her mother's prosperity under a protective tariff. She has developed more rapidly in manufactures than any other portion of our country." Webster, he said, was a free-trader until conditions changed in Massachusetts. As it became evident that that state was to become a manufacturing state, he became a strong protectionist. On the other hand, Calhoun, who believed that the south was to be a manufacturing part of the country, was a strong protectionist, but when he found the south turned to agriculture and New England manufacture, he also changed his position and became a free-trader. This suggested Mr. Scott, explains the changes from on the part of southern statesmen in respect to the tariff. The $0,000,000 acres of West Virginia coal, he said, can supply the markets of the United States for 200 years with biltuminous coal at the present rate of production. He pointed out the richness of his state in oil, natural gas, sandstone, potter's and fire clay, and that West Virginia has the largest pottery factory in the world. Mr. Scott referred also to West Virginia's iron ore, forests and many other sources of natural wealth. "I believe in the great majority of the people of West Virginia believe, that the raw material cheap fuel, would still be trying undeveloped in our mountains and valleys, had it not been for a protective tariff," said Mr. Scott. "In addition," he said, "to the proposed change in tariff rates, West Virginia is threatened with a traffic arrangement, almost shitting her out of the market. Lying almost half way between the lakes and the seaside Ohio and Illinois on the north, and Pennsylvania on the east, can reach forty-mile shipping points with a shorter hand in West Virginia. When the railroad bill was before congress, I suggested that it was only a question of time, the policy being inaugurated were followed, until a fixed charge per ton per mile would be the established rate in this country. I fear that we are rapidly approaching this condition. So with freight discrimination also with discrimination, can it be wondered why my state is up in arms, and that I am beseeded by letters and telegrams begging for relief?" Mr. Scott insisted that sixty-seven cents a ton on coal—provided by the Payne bill—was a small duty. But, in making the ton, a long ton, and in providing for a countervailing duty, a great injustice has been done to that industry. "I utterly and absolutely opposed to the intervening duty," said Mr. Scott. "I think an American congress is able to American law to govern an American industry. Further than that the countervailing or reciprocal clause is a delusion and a snare. It is in the interest of a few coal operators located near the Canadian border and in the interest of New England. The remainder of the entire country "suffer, and very grievously." Mr. Scott said that during the late coal mining the Canadian officials were ordered to sack the coal for their own people, and not to into the United States and the Canadian railroads put up their rates. "Yet," he added, "we are to give to these people the right to say when our duties shall come off, or how long they shall remain on. Not while I have a voice and a vote." Speaking of the lumber industry of West Virginia Mr. Scott said that even under tariff, such as provided by the Dincan ada exported to the United States exported to Canada. Forty-eight per cent of all the lumber manufactured in the United States, he added, is produced in the south, so that the south is affected the extent of one-half of the cut man-made lumber. If this tariff is reduced or if it is placed on the free list, Mr. Scott said there is nothing left for the American lumbermen to do, but to cut wages. Lower wages also, he said, would follow cuts of the tariff rates in the iron and steel industries. There would be no other way in which to get down the costs of such products. There would be no demand for a few furnaces would be obtained by having free iron or, white, the greatest amount would suffer. He said his state was interested in the iron industry because it furnishes coal to the furnaces that reduced the ore. So long as the tariff on leather, shoes and articles manufactured of leather, is retained, said Mr. Scott, the wool would accrue to the consumer. But on the free list, Such action would suit, he said, in reducing the cost of a pair of shoes just three cents. Such action would result in a loss of from two to four dollars on every farm, the farmers and cattle raisers, in West Virginia put on the market. Since the Dingley bill became a law, West Virginia had grown in wool raising leathers and bounds. If wanted the wool schedule to remain as it now is, in which event he declared that West Virginia would become one of the great wool producing states. The people of West Virginia also demand that there shall be a duty on petroleum, said Mr. Scott. "They do not hold that the Standard Oil company is a great monster, devouring alike the living, and destroying the said. They see the development he said, and brought to the state of West Virginia, and they desire that it shall be fairly treated. Today there are thirteen thousand oil wells in West Virginia. They are producing 25,000 barrels of oil today, worth $1.78 a barrel. Nino thousand men are employed in this business. These men know that the Standard Oil company buys their oil. There the transaction begins and ends. They know that the Standard is in the market to buy the best grade of oil at the cheapest price. They know that it makes but little, if any, difference to the Standard whether there is a duty or not. These independent oil operators do not. That the placing of crude oil on the front dents death and destruction to their homes. That the Standard Oil company produces less than ten per cent of the crude oil of this country, was asserted by Mr. Scott, who added that congress should pause before passing a law that would bring wide-spread destruction to the oil producers. "I do not propose to let any populist howlings influence me in what I can see to be my duty in regard to taking care of the independent old producers in my state," he said. Mr. Scott emphasized the importance of a tariff for the pottery industry of his state and concluded by picturing the prosperity that had existed under the Dingley law and appealed to the senate to maintain the true principles of a protective tariff which, he said, in the end "lowers the cost to the ultimate consumer and eventually cheapens the cost of every necessity of life. A STEADY DRAIN Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole Body—Make You Ill, Lanquid and Depressed. Sick kidneys weaken the body through the continual drainage of life-giving albumen from the blood into the urine, and the substitution of poisonous uric acid that goes broadcast through the system, sowing the seeds of disease. Loss of an albumen causes weakness, languor, deformity. Uric acid poisoning causes rheumatic pain in nausea, nausea, crick in the back, gravel, and kidney stones. The proper treatment is a kidney treatment and the best remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills. Great Charleston cures prove it. W. L. Brookman, 409 Ross street, Charleston, W. Va., says; "Twenty years ago I received an injury to my back while trying to remove a large stump from my farm I have always been a strong man, but since then my health has been poor. My kidnows became disordered and the secretions were highly colored and too frequent and painful in passage. I at length learned about Doan's Kidney Pills curing others of similar troubles and I began their use. I must say I was surprised at the benefit received. My health has been improved greatly."

Fossil Fish to Look As Natural as Life Fossil Fish to Look As Natural as Life New York, April 28.—It is the proud boast of aquarra in various cities of the world that they possess fish or reptiles that count their years among the hundreds, but there will be placed on exhibition within a few days a collection of fish that for houry headed age are entitled to all the honors in the class. The matter of the detail that the fish in North America fossils. They swam about the North So. a years period of thousands of years ago, and, while they no longer swim, they are perfect as to form and are being restored to their original color. The fossil aquarium is being prepared at the American Museum of Natural History, and the dish will be exhibited in a case which will represent a section of primeval submarine landscape. To the uninitiated observer the exhibit will appear to be of the parlor aquaria once in vogue, when he looks closely he will see that he are not waving and that the failure fly alive could skim the surface above them with impunity. The fish were found in mining operations and are considered very valuable. An artist is painting them in lifelike colors. KICKED OUT OF HIS RIGHTS.

Contagious Blood Poison It has its victims in its power almost before they realize its presence, because its first symptom is usually a little sore or pimple so insignificant that it does not excite suspicion. But the insidious poison is at work on the blood and in a short while the patient finds he is more or less affected from head to foot. Contagious Blood Poison is too dangerous to trifle with. No time should be lost in ridding the blood of this destructive poison, and in no disease it is more important to have the proper remedy. Medicines which merely check the symptoms for a time and leave the real cause smouldering in the system have brought misery and disappointment to thousands. Faithfully the sufferers took such treatment, usually of mineral nature, and when all symptoms had disappeared and the treatment was left off, found the virus, had offly been shut up in the system awaiting a favorable opportunity to return, with every symptom intensified.

S. B. so I didn't fool with any doctors, but began at once the use of your medicine, taking it as directed. My friend told me to stick to it and that was what I did and got along splendidly from the very first; and my recovery was rapid. I took a number of bottles, and am now as well as ever. When I began S. B. my face was so full of sore and eruptious that I could not share; and now there is not a block or pimple on my body. There is nothing in the world that can beat S. B. for Blood-Poison; and what ways recommend it for such cases. A friend of mine is taking it now, and is getting along with COVERED WITH SORRS. I was afflicted with a terrible blood disease, which was in spots at first, but afterwards caused all over my body. These soon broke out into pains, and it is easy to imagine the suffering. I entered. Before I became convinced that the doctors could do no good, I had spent a hundred dollars, which was really thrown away. I then tried various drugs that medicines, but they did not recover their disease. When I had finished my first bottle of B.B. I was greatly improved, and was delighted with the result. The large red splotches on my chest began to grow paler and smaller, and before being cleaved entirely, I regained my lost weight, became stronger and my appetite greatly improved. I was soon entirely well, and my skin was clear as a piece of glass. 58 Clinton Street, Newark, N. J. THE USUAL SYMPTOMS Having used S. B. S. quite extensively, I am in position to know its virtues. As the result of a serene position, I suffered severely with Rheumatism and other symptoms not necessary to mention. A friend told me that upon his recommendation I begged by S. B. S. and upon his recommendation I begged by him. Using it for some time my blood was thoroughly used of all poisons and made pure and strong. I wish also to speak of its tonic properties. In my general health, it improved my appetite, it gave me strength and energy in every way. I am a great believer in S. B. S. and with pleasure recommend it to all who need it. 30 Chestnut Street, Johnson, PA. ese Ste aN #3, Shark Aantal e Se aS ) : SR rear tenet ! an , “Rites hak hare le SRG ere Pal z eee ee Nas, SARA - a ates ane ey Ran Pa LN Ae es : een smche e Shc aA RRM 2 at : ae : af Se ea bins Sncalh mee onak cana Sash the fa SS eRe Se ae iS ons PSS ek Teal a ie ay UGE cous sate poten nee es cos Ate feed ae ee ae en ¥ Wwe » ic Bet 0 ae OSES aia gee Soo Bere bain a Pe PEE a ee Riese stent ut — = : = —= J “ip RS bt SEC EHBA hn pee ee! vaca pation. sac con vee 8 Hs S: a te ar mane: eat tes AREA HORS, “ ae = oes eva 5 OR ee TREE or pleasant, Fides Fh Re ER > beteerers i Spvact. 528 CR ae EOE A TRO Reined yh ee Led eee sg ete Boe aro’ =e — He par Be Sak caitisa bey em. . ss cea oo et ss Pepe nen oh te a Ee : b Rw bles ae Tent guaran iar kine ee inds'or moment Cae Cs aera 74 Le = = a 4 Ss Ww 7 ASE eta Y ee ae he care tthe uae Tey met eae ee Z ates sr a QO j cS 2 Saha : ¥1909,°a8 ‘Dal bata fis firentet Bribery ction talcty ye Meeemin T fi as — ae eet eas. sng | pponerement on Pas es ae ee } Rie? 20 <= 3 be way fram made’ disttege! ty ei nis eae sc oe : 6 19 ¥ a Ft. tied |] a rds have One owner TBR ty. ‘ henna a i mal AS I ’ ‘ - othe’ Ne Oa. + Yyandlo t years, fino | ehuldsbuethe DRC ie coh Thi | ti i 4 , ‘ tore. fo the Ue i Mak ja Theat veers.

The casd is related of a former ‘railway president, wlio re- ceived the thorough old-school train- ing in all. branches of the service, who is vainly seeking a position In Chicago as an accountant owing to a reversal of fortune which left him stranded. Notwithstanding “his broad grasp of accounting, engineér- {ng and construction from having organized accounting, engineering. and construction departments, as mille, "ho han opoat’ weeks wbnent mills, Ae has spent weeks without gotting employment, althongh he was’ ready, he sald, "to polish the door knob" to got bis abilities under the oye of executives. ‘This and ot er similar cases have shown the need for a reaction fram the blind preference for young activities. For lack of mature men, ike this ex-rall- way executive, many corporation heads are said to be working them- selves into thelr graves, complaining at tho same time that’ thay eannot get “the right sort of hélp.” ‘The blame fs laid upon the chiet clerks and petty executives who have come to regard it their duty to. “turn down” curtly men, whose hair {t tinged with gray, “How can employers expect to get the most competent help If -they ‘al- low subordinates to follow blindly the rule of ‘young men only” in: re- xard to applicants for employment,” was the comment of a director of ‘a big corporations. “Big business has Vlundered in failing to, know, not only the kindof men employed, but the kind that are turned down,” ‘The bills pending to enable Chica- 0 to Increase its bonded indebted- ness promise not only to permit the big profects of the subway and bead: eifleation fo become posstble, but to end anomalles of the present in elty financing.

Another point in efty Nnancing was pointed oyt by City ‘Troasurer ‘Traeger on retiring front office. He condemned the awarding of deposits to the banks on competi: tive bids, a system under which the rate of interest pafd on clty deposits recently was reduced by the banks from 2 1-2 to 2 per cont.

Since the introduction of improvemethods of handling the great oil pine forests of the Southern states the comparative value of rosin advanced by leaps and bounds. 1800 the value of turpentine expanded the value of the rosin product by more than $9,000,000 and 1905 by nearly $6,500,000. By 07. the value of the output of the condary product advanced to the int where it was less than $1,000.00 under the value of turpentine last year its value jumped to at place in the naval stores output here it was $3,500,000 over the line of the turpentine production, of following figures give a graphiced of the rise of the product in time. carar . . .

The finest grades, which are valued according to their degree of clearness, are used in the manufacture of soaps, fine varnish and for "sizing" in the manufacture of paper. The medium qualities are mostly consumed in making yellow sap, as a flux for solder, as a constituent of sealing wax, with tallow, common candies, and in pharmacy. The lowest qualities of rosin are used for paint, ship and boat building, for brower's ship and in sealing the heads and staves of barrels which hood liquids, and for the dilution of rosin oil which enters to the manufacture of lubricating materials. With these varied and ever-increasing uses it is easy to see how the annual consumption of rosin last year amounted to more than 250,000 barrels, valued at nearly 18,000,000. The great decline in the prices received for turpentine in 1908. COLUMBUS OHIO EXCURSION Via K. & M.

Round Trip - 1.50 COLORED· uefield, W. while the prices for rosin were ranging more in conformity with those of the preceding year, has much to do with this condition, but there are other causes which combine to lend interest to this climax in the general trend of advancement in the value and importance of this product of the naval stores industry. That the general improvement in the grades of rosin, produced by a more general use of improved methods of turpantaining, is responsible to an appreciable extent for the increase in the value of the entire rosin output is unquestioned, according to men familiar with the trade. Another cause for this condition is the constantly increasing demand for rosin, and especially the paler, and more valuable grades both in this and in foreign countries. Some of those at present engaged in the manufacture of naval stores remember the time when they found it unprofitable to preserve the residue of the turpentine still—rosin. A few years, preceding the Civil war, there were few uses for rosin and only a slight demand. During that period rosin was permitted to accumulate with other discarded and unuseful waste about the turpentine still. The demand for rosin increased and year by year it has been climbing higher in the scale of value and importance until it has succeeded in passing turpentine the heretofore vastly more valuable and more important product of the naval stores form. The position which rosin has assumed in the naval stores markets argues well for increasing the use of conservative methods which have resulted to such a great extent in induction of the value of the rosin by producing a larger excess. More has been more potent and no more be used to greater advantage in an effort to encourage conservative turpentineing than the knowledge that paler and more valuable grades of rosin is one of the most pronounced results following its use. Now that naval stores operators rosin that rosin is no longer to be classed as a dry and inert product of the still and appreciate the growing necessity for improving the grade, trade authorities say there should be a decided increase in the use of the cup and gutter or the cup and apron system for extracting the rosin from the tree. Lightning Burns Fine, Large Barn Elkins, W. Va., April 28.—The fine large barn owned by A. E. Lytle, located about 3 1-2 miles south of Drift, was struck by lightning, at 11 o'clock at night, and was entirely destroyed. Four horses and a number of cattle were in the barn at tech time the lightning struck, but Mr. Lytle, with the aid of some neighbors succeeded in getting them all out, with the exception of a yearling steer, which was destroyed. A large quantity of hay and oats and some valuable harness was also destroyed. The flames could be seen for miles around. One horse, which was outside, in the barn lot, was killed. The loss is estimated at more than $1,200. BUSINESS MEN'S LEAGUE TO FIGHT WHITE SLAVERY Swings from $5.50 to $10.50; Porch Chairs $2.50 to $5.00; Setters $5.00.

BUSINESS MEN TO FIGHT WI Chicago, April 28.—A national organization of business men to systematically fight the white slave traffic, proposed here when the enactment of the new laws in Illinois became assured by favorable committee report promises to become a fact and to make the warfare against the widespread evil, in the courts, in securing legislation and in secret service work the country over, continuous, effectual and speedy. The proposal was made by George H. Pierer, publisher of the Woman's World which has already Inspired legislation in Michigan, the Dakota, and prospective legislation in Illinois, Iowa, Arkansas and several states. He also offered to aid the financing of such an organization if it was comprised of representative men. In an address issued here he said: "Illinois statutes are now certain to include adequate slaves against white slavery and what is needed next, for the protection of our girls, is an organization of business men to aid in enforcement of the laws and to extend similar laws to other states. When horse thieves grow numerous, we can clean them out. Our sisters and daughters being captured by white slavers at the rate of 80,000 a year and we have just waked up to realize it. "We must aid the public prosecutors or the task will be too huge. Woman's World will aid the financing of an organization of representative men who realize that a determined campaign must be made if white slavery is to be exterminated. The Woman's World proposed bills, for the State laws because we wanted to do more than expose the egomony of this evil. Now we are ready to go a step further and help to provide a representative and national organization to extend the legislation to other States and having financial support enough to be able to help their enforcement. The fight is only just begun." Mr. Currier is president of the $2,500,000 Currier Publishing Co.

M., April 28.—Plans are being made to have a special study undertaken by a representative of the United States Forest Service in the near future to determine the feasibility of the culture of the eucalyptus tree in the lower Rio Grande valley and along the Gulf coast of Texas. The importance of eucalyptus culture from a commercial standpoint has within the last few months aroused general interest throughout the country concerning these rapid growing trees, and the district office of the Forest Service of Albuquerque receives almost daily inquiries as to the feasibility of planting eucalyptus in the southwest, particularly in the State of Texas. The eucalyptus is a native of the coast region of Australia and Tasmania, where at least 150 distinct species are specialized. It was introduced into California about 1850 and first plasted near San Francisco for ornamental purposes. The extremely rapid growth of certain species, their value for fuel, lumber and special products, have resulted in the undertaking of extensive investigations concerning the habits of these trees and their commercial uses, and possibilities. Fully 100 species have been introduced into the United States. Among the most important species at present planted in this country are blue gum, sugar gum, gray gum, red gum and manna gum.

RAILROAD COMPANY NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SERVANTS A railroad company cannot be convicted of the offense of obstructing a public road at a railroad crossing when the evidence shows such obstruction was in violation of the rules of the company and against its instructions. So held the Supreme Court in plain speech Tuesday in the case of the State vs. Kalimantle and Ohio railroad company. An indictment was returned against the Baltimore and Ohio railroad for obstructing a public road and the court in lieu of a jury, found the defendant guilty and imposed a fine of fifty dollars and costs. In the Supreme court it was claimed that the evidence was wholly indicted to support the judgment of conviction, the evidence shows that the conductor was able to cut the train and because of it being a heavy train refused to do so, and blocking the crossing for some forty minutes. Judge Miller in his opinion says that there is no evidence showing any reason for holding the train so long over the crossing and that it was a misdemeanor in violation of the statute for any person to obstruct a public road. It was proven, however, that the rules of the company had been violated by the conductor in keeping the train on the crossing longer than five minutes. If the rule is true as the court says that in wrongdoing company is liable criminally for wrongs or offenses of this character but for a single offense committed by such an agent in violation of the rules of the company, the court in view of other opinions, opines that the company is not liable. In the syllabus, Judge Miller says: "Upon an indictment thereafter a railroad company cannot be convicted of the offence of obstructing a public road at a railroad crossing, by a freight train in charge of its servants, when the evidence shows but a single offense and that such obstruction was in violation of the rules of such company and against its positive instructions to the conductor in charge of the train.

In California, under favorable conditions, trees have attained a height of 175 feet and a diameter of 5 feet. in 25 years, while trees have reached a height of 125 feet and a diameter of 3 feet in 9 years. Sprouts from the stumpy of eucalyptus trees frequently reach 3 inches in diameter and 35 feet in height in 8 months. The wood of the blue gum is principally valuable for fuel and lumber, although it finds numerous other uses. Eucalyptus oil, a drug of considerable commercial importance, is distilled from the leaves. Sugar gum is also a very rapid grower, but like the blue gum will not tolerate much frost. Red gum and gray gum, while possibly a little slower in growth than these, are more drought and frost resistant. They are being planted extensively owing to the durability of their timber in contact with the soil and its many commercial uses. Both red gum and gray gum are valuable for piles, ties, posts and poles, while the wood of red gum is said to be considered an excellent substitute for mahogany. Manna gum is also fairly frost resistant and is a rapid grower. The wood, however, is principally valuable for fuel. The cactusptus is adapted to a subtropical climate and the limits within which it may be planted for commercial purposes in this country may be broadly defined as that bounded by the frost line. It is, therefore, adapted for planting in the warmer portions of California and in parts of southern Arizona and Texas. It is not likely that it can be grown with any degree of success in New Mexico.

Huntington to Be a Pipe-Line Center Huntington, W.

The gréat enterprise of the Columbia Gas and Electric company in piping West Virginia ‘gas to Cincinnati has opened up a ready market for a heavy flow of West Virginia gas and-it has already been shown that the company will draw by far the greater part of its produce from a territory tmmediate- ly adjacent. to eptington. In order to feed the, big Mnedt will be neces- sary to keep up incessantly tne work of drilling and coristant changes will be necessary in. ofder to keep the a A et cosesie. # new wells connected with the main line. When a produclng well is ex- hausted the pipe leading from the well to the main line is torn up and relaid so as to connect a live well with the main line. . This process will give constant employment a large force of en- gineers, drillers. and line men. Huntington is being made the gen- eral headquarters for this work and scores of young men are now mak- ing Huntington their home, though they spend the greater part of their time In the field. 2 ‘The home officers of the Columbia company have brought a number of desirable people to Huntington, ‘The activities in building the pipe line and drilling for gas have been im- portant in holding up the loaal bust- ness situation during a time which was natuFally characterized by deep depression. ee Sees te ee ee ee ene Governor W.
