G.C. BUCHANAN'S BRIGHT FUTURE Palmer Institute Secures Services of Tuskegee Graduate. ANXIOUS TO ADVANCE CAUSE. Ambitious Young Educator Will Act as Financial Agent and Director of Agriculture in Growing School at Sedalia, N. C.—How He Rose From Obscurity to Prominence. New York.—One of the brilliant young graduates of this year's class at Tuskegee (Ala.) institute is G. Cleveland Buchanan, who graduated from the agricultural and scientific departments with honors, receiving special commendation from Principal Booker W. Washington. Mr. Buchanan has recently been made one of the faculty of the Palmer Memorial institute, Sedalia, N. C. He will act as financial agent and director of the agricultural department. Mr. Buchanan is in New York for the summer, conferring with friends of the school and arranging for financial aid with which to furnish the school with the necessary equipment for the various departments to be put in operation this fall. He is a native of Shelbyville, Tenn., where he received the rudiments of his early education. It is Mr. Buchanan's intention to inculcate into the student body of the Palmer Memorial institute the high ideals he receives at his alma mater. Having supplemented the knowledge which he received on his father's farm with a scientific course in agriculture he is well prepared to enter upon his new duties with that degree of confidence which characterizes the trained man of affairs. He also spent an extra year at Tuskegee, making a special study of truck gardening and stock raising. He is full of the Tuskegee spirit and is anxious to try his hand in helping to make the Palmer school a great lever for the educational uplift of the masses. In telling of his struggles to get through school Mr. Buchanan says: "At Tuskegee I was known as the 'peanut man' because I sold peanuts Q. CLEVELAND BUCHANAN. to the students and teachers to help pay my way through school. My first lot of peanuts cost me 40 cents. I sold all of them and bought more. The demand soon became so great that I was encouraged to continue the business. By this likelihood I was able to make my way through school and graduated this year with honors and a bunk account of $375." Mr. Buchanan entered the institution in 1900. During his student days he was very careful of his conduct and always sought to comply with the rules and regulations of the institute. Therefore he has the honor of not having a single demerit mark against his record. When the request came for a capable man to take charge of the agricultural department of the Palmer Memorial Institute in Sedalia, N. C., it was an easy matter for Dr. Washington to select from his list of trained men the right person for the position. The new director and financial agent is a young man of pleasing address. He possesses the faculty of making friends and holding them. His manner of approach is tactful and embodies the discriminating qualities of the trained young business man. He has already won favor in New York and is meeting with a marked degree of success. The school was founded by Miss Charlotte E. Hawkins in 1903. The board of trustees is composed of the following persons: Captain F. P. Hobzood, president, Greensboro, N. C.; Mrs. O. W. Bright, vice president, 30 West Forty-ninth street, New York; C. A. Bray, Greensboro, N. C.; Mrs. C. S. Guthrie, New York; Miss M. E. Grinnell, New Bedford, Mass.; C. H. Ireland, Greensboro, N. C.; N. H. McLean, Sedalia, N. C.; Miss C. E. Hawkins, Sedalia, N. C.; C. A. Wharton, Whittset, N. C.; Mrs. C. D. McIver, Greensboro, N. C.; J. H. Smith, Greensboro, N. C.; and Mrs. Lella Yancey, Sedalia, N. C. Confidential Employee Remembered. Because of his faithfulness to the late Abraham Abraham, head of Abraham & Straus, dry goods merchants in Brooklyn, as confidential employee, Mr. Frank Jackson was remembered in Mr. Abraham's will to the amount of a $400 annuity. LYCEUM CLUB DINES DU BOIS Famous American Scholar Honored by Royalty in London. London.-Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, director of publicity and research for the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, with headquarters in the United States, and editor of the Crisis, who is now in London to speak on the American Negro at the races congress, was the guest of honor at the Lyceum club dinner recently given. The Lyceum club from time to time entertains various distinguished guests and assemblies other distinguished persons to hear them speak. On this occasion her highness the ranee of Sarawak presided at the dinner. The hostesses included the Princess Karadja, Lady Bruce, Lady Downes, the Hon. Mrs. Franklin, Mrs. Havelock Ellis, Mrs. Smedley, Mrs. Arthur Philip, Mrs. Dickinson Berry, M. D., and Dr. Ettie Sayer. The guests of honor invited to meet Dr. Du Bois were the Countess of Bective, Muriel Viscountess Helmsley, the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of British Honduras and Mrs. Bury, Mr. Maurice Hewlett, Sir Harry and Lady Johnston, Sir Percy and Lady Bunting, Sir Robert and Lady Morant, Sir Lawrence and Lady Gomme, Sir James Chrichton-Browne, Lady Low, Miss Elizabeth Robins, Mrs. Comings, Mr. Henry Neinson, Mr. Fairbanks, Mr. Milhooland. Dr. Du Bois' address was listened to with great interest. The bishop of British Honduras and Central America, Miss Elizabeth Robins, the author, and Mrs. Arthur Philip and Mr. Maurice Hewlett, the writer, also made brief addresses. Dr. Du Bois has spoken at several meetings since his arrival and has been the guest of various distinguished sociologists and literary men. His address before the races congress will be delivered on Thursday, July 27. L. G. BOUEY DIES IN AFRICA. Cape Mount Without American Heads Restores Appeal For Funds Baptists Appeal For Funds. Word has been received by the corresponding secretary, the Rev. L. G. Jordan, of the National Baptist Foreign mission board of the recent death of Lewis G. Bouey, missionary, at Cape Mount, west Africa. Mr. Bouey was a native of South Carolina and succeeded his father, the late Rev. H. N. Bouey, whose death occurred in Africa in December, 1900. This leaves the west African station without a missionary in charge. This station carries on work among the Vey people of northern Liberia. The denomination is further set back in its work by the illness of Rev. and Mrs. D. E. Murff, who when last heard from were in a hospital in London. The board appeals to Baptist churches, associations and conventions at this time to co-operate with it in raising $000 which is needed for transportation and hospital expense for Rev. Mr. Murff and wife. It would be a sad reflection upon colored Baptists if this small sum were not raised at once and sent to the foreign mission board in Louisville, Ky., for the relief of these missionaries and the maintenance of the west African station. If each church or association will help a little the money can be bead within a very short time. The Baptist cause is at stake. Let every one who will help. BATTLE'S APPOINTMENT CREATES MUCH COMMENT. First Afro-American on Regular Police Force in New York City. J. Samuel Battle, who was recently appointed to the police force in New York, bears the unique distinction of being the first Afro-American to receive the appointment as a full fledged policeman in the great Empire State metropolis. Mr. Battle's average in the civil service examination exceeded 84 per cent. His physical examination by the civil service surgeons was also satisfactory. The new police officer was born in Newbern, N. C., twenty-eight years ago and received the rudiments of his early education in his native town. He is six feet two inches tall, weighs 283 pounds and enjoys excellent health. Mr. Battle served the usual thirty day apprenticeship in the police training school before being assigned to the regular force for duty. The appointment of Mr. Battle has caused much newspaper comment, some favorable and some not so favorable. But in the main it has all centered in the one fact that his chances to make good along with other men cannot be rightfully curled. Necessity For Strong Race Journals The great advance made in race journalism within the past eight years as well as the many trials that beset the race certainly foretell an important future for the Negro paper. Disfranchisement, jimcrowism, segregation and the general tendency to discriminate on account of color are some of the things which make the race journal a necessity. Great Peach Crop on Tuskegee Farm. The peach crop at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama this year is an unusually large and fine one. There are in the orchard 12,500 peach trees of varying ages. During the present season about 1,500 bushels of peaches have been picked. They are shipped to Birmingham, Montgomery and Atlanta markets at the rate of about seventy-five bushels daily. POWER IN ADVERTISING. Its Right Use Would Benefit Grocers and Their Helpers. By ALBION L HOLSEY Saturday has always been the best day in the week for business, and in the grocery business will always be the best. It is, however, more of a custom than a necessity. There is an apparent disposition on the part of other businesses to make Monday the banner business day of the week. JOSIAH'S DEVOTION TO GOD Sunday School Lesson for July 23, 1911 Specially Arranged for This Paper LESSON TEXT—II Chronicles 34:1-13. MEMORY VERSES—1, 2. GOLDEN TEXT—"Remember now the Creator in the days of thy youth."—Ecoc 12:1. TIME—Josiah began to reign B. C. 638 in the 48th year of Judah as a separate kingdom. He reigned 31 years, till B. C. 608. The heavy Saturday trade in a grocery store has many disadvantages, two of which I mention. The one is it is too much a strain on those who sell, requiring them to work all day, and invariably till midnight and perhaps later, deliveries of goods to customers being sometimes delayed till past midnight, which is a source of much inconvenience. The other is it necessitates investment in an extra perishable stock, which, if not sold on account of a rainy day or an "off day," is lost. The colored grocer can very easily overcome this difficulty by advertising in his local paper. Most weekly papers are issued on Saturday and carefully read on Sunday. Make Monday the special bargain day and advertise that fact in your local paper. SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTE Seventh Annual Meeting of the Durham District Held In Efland. Efland, N. C.-The seventh annual session of the Durham district Sunday school institute, which closed its four days' meeting in this town on Sunday, July 16, was noted for enthusiasm on the part of the Sunday school workers in the A.M.E. church in this district and a helpful demonstration of the effective work being done by those identified with the movement. An exceptional feature of the session was the intelligent growth in the rural districts caused by the dissemination of practical knowledge which has entered into the very fiber of the superintendents and teachers. Although this institute is not of a large scope, when national movements are considered, its peculiar opportunity in Christian activity for racial uplift gives it recognition beyond its sphere because of its modern methods in teaching. Every Sunday school in the district was represented by delegates who were making this phase of Christian work a part of their business, and there was in evidence at each session a keen appreciation of the duties involved upon them, especially in making the study of the Bible attractive. Interesting round table talks on how to reach families that manifest no interest in the Sunday school and their indifference to Christian organization and timely suggestions for the widening of the influence of the Sunday school made the institute one of helpfulness. New ideas were advanced and discussed. Among the pertinent RUGENE J. WEAVER. ideas for accomplishing tangible good were plans to encourage the support of Kittrell college and interesting young people in getting the proper educational preparation for a life of service. One of the most enthusiastic Sunday school workers and superintendents is Mr. E. J. Weaver, the superintendent of this district. For a number of years he has superintended the Sunday school of St. Joseph's A. M. E. church in Durham, which is considered to be one of the largest and best organized schools in the race. He is peculiarly adapted to the work and is one of the leading business men of Durham. He is at the head of the American Life and Benefit company and a large real estate owner. Mr. Weaver, with his excellent corps of Sunday workers, is determined to make this district the most efficient in the connection. The following item concerning the activities of some of the graduates of the West Virginia Colored institute is interesting. One is teaching in Fisk university, one in Wilberforce, one in Oklahoma, three in Lawrenceville, Va.; one in the National Training school, Durham, N. C.; one bookkeeper at Norfolk, Va.; one plasterer at Portsmouth, Va.; one stenographer at Knoxville, Tenn.; one doing demonstration work under the United States government in Mississippi, and one died at his post as a blacksmith 2,000 miles up the Nile river, in Africa. JOSIAH'S DEVOTION TO GOD Sunday School Lesson for July 23, 1911 Specially Arranged for This Paper LESSON TEXT-II Chronicles 34:1-13. MEMORY VERSES-1. 2. MEMORY VERSES-1, 2. GOLDEN TEXT—"Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth."—Eccl. 12:1. TIME—Josiah began to reign B. C. 638, in the 94th year of Judah as a separate kingdom. He reigned 31 years, till B. C. 638. PLACE—Judah and Jerusalem. But his reign ended over a considerable part of the territory of the Northern Kingdom which had become extinct in 722-718, 80 years before Josiah came to the throne. Josiah was the grandson of Manasseh, whose career we studied in our last lesson. He was born at Jerusalem, B. C. 646. His father was Amon, who followed the example of his father's earlier years. He reigned but two years, when he was murdered by his courtlers in his own palace. The people rose against the conspirators and made his eight-year-old son king in his place. Josiah's mother was Jedidah, the daughter of Adalah. They belonged in Boscath, a town near Lachish in southwestern Judah, in the plains toward the Mediterranean sea. While King Amon was an idolater, and his court was corrupt, it is possible that Josiah's mother kept the true faith. He began to reign when he was eight years old. Like his grandfather, Manasseh, he must for several years have been guided, and his kingdom controlled by his mother or by prime ministers. The worshipers of Jehovah must have been in control at the palace, the wise and religious teachers of the true God and the true religion. So that for the first sixteen years of his life the young Josiah must have been under good influences, while he also would know of his father's tragic death, and his grandfather's sins, sufferings, and repentance. And his ancestor, David, was ever before him as his ideal, his hero, his saint. About the time when Josiah was twenty years old, and in the twelfth year of his reign, when he had begun his reforms, there came an invading host from the far east like a cyclone, an overwhelming scourge. Jeremiah foretells them in vivid pictures. But Herodotus tells us who they were, the Scythians "from the regions over Caucasus, vast nameless hordes of men, who sweeping past Assyria, unchecked, poured upon Palestine. We can realize the event from our knowledge of the Mongol and Tartar invasions which in later centuries pursued the same path southwards. Living in the saddle, with no infantry nor carriots to delay them, these Centaurs swept on with a speed of invasion hitherto unknown. In 630 they had crossed the Caucasus, by 626 they were on the borders of Egypt. The prophet, Jeremiah, describes in picturesque terms this invasion. "The lion is come up from his thicket;" "The destroyer of nations is on his way;" "Behold he cometh as clouds, and his charlot shall be as the whirlwind;" "Their quiver is an open pulscher, they are all mighty men;" "They are cruel and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men of war against thee." It is easy to see how this terrible invader, coming so near, just as Josiah was beginning his reforms, must have interfered with his plans. Josiah began his reformation in his twelfth year, but the invasion of the Scythians soon after this beginning interfered with the work. The savage and cruel host came close to Judah's borders. Scattered bands may have entered the kingdom. Terror reigned. Defenses must be strengthened. Outsiders rushed to Jerusalem and the fortified cities. How far the reformations had progressed we do not know. But the chronicler having recorded the beginning simply goes on with the story, as is frequently done by historians. The restoration of the Temple was intrusted to a committee of three—Shapan, the secretary of state; and Maaseiol, the governor of the city, the mayor of Jerusalem; and Joah the recorder, the keeper of the records, the historian. The temple built by Solomon, was completed 390 years before. It was repaired by Joash 240 years before Josiah began his restoration. The ravages of time, with neglect and abuse during the sway of idolatry must have rendered it sadly in need of repair. It was during these repairs that the Book of Law was found. The work interrupted by the Scythian hordes is now resumed with greatly increased intensity and enthusiasm, through the new consecration of king and people, due to the finding of the Book of the Law. The first condition of salvation for individuals or nations is the putting away of sin at any cost. The second is the building up of the good. He that confesseth and forsaketh shall find mercy. Ye Are the Temple of the Living God. What Repairs Does This Temple Need? Cleanse away the remains of selfishness, and cast out all "the works of the flesh." Set up the family altar, repair your study of God's word. Renew the love whose decline is expressed in the neglect of courtesies and services to man. Repair your application of the fruits of the spirit to business dealings and all departments of life. Repair your habits. Repair your temper. Cleanse your bodies from habits that lead to ill health, and make your bodies perfect instruments for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Use The Eureka Comb Price $1.50 With Lamp Cap For Heating.

PYTHIANS WILL GET A ROYAL WELCOME Freeericktonians Have Arranged Fine Program For the Grand Local Pythian Circles are all agog over the twenty second annual session of the Grand Lodge of the Order, which will open at Frederick, Md., this Monday. The local contingent will leave here Monday morning in a special train and the events for that day in Frederick include a band contest, in which the Pythian Band of this city will be one of the participants a drill of the Uniform Rank under the direction of General Geo. H. Carter; a marathon race and a baseball game. A big street parade will take place in the afternoon. The members of Alpha Lodge are preparing to entertain the visiting Knights in grand style. Rev. J. W. Townes, grand chancellor of the lodge, and Dr. U. G. Bourne have been foremost in the preparations for the session. The headquarters of Grand Chancellor Watty and his cabinet will be at the home of Dr. Bourne on All Saints street. A public session will be held Tuesday morning when addesses of welcome will be made by Mayor Eichelberger and Rev. Townes. Responses will be made by Councilman Harry S. Cummings, of Baltimore and Rev. Storer S. Jolley, of Cambridge. A buisness session will be held in the afternoon. A banquet will be tendered the visitors at night. The election of officers for the ensuing year will take place Wednesday. In all probability, Grand Chancellor Watty will be elected without any opposition. The popularity of Mr. Watty together with his executive ability have won for him a high place in Pythianism and each year opposition to his election has decreased until this year there is no doubt that he will be elected by acclamation. Grand Master of Exchequer, H. Maynadier St. Clair; Grand Medical Examiner, C. H. Fowler, and Grand Keeper of Records and seals, Josiah L. Diggs, will likely be returned to their old positions. J. Edward Smith of this city, is being boomed by his friends for one of the offices, and there are a number of bees are buzing in the ears of county and city members. Grand Chancellor Watty was the guest of honor at a banquet given by the Pythians of Worton, Md., Thursday night and he was hailed as the next grand chancellor.

When using oil lamps the housewife is always very careful that every part of the lamp is scrupulously clean and the burner is hoiled to remove any accumulation of dirt. She forgets, though, that her gas jet is just as likely to accumulate soil. Often there is quite a little collection of dust and if this is cleared away the improvement in the light is noticeable.

I am speaking from a small feeder's standpoint, says a writer in an exchange. Large farmers with large clover acreage may find it profitable to grow large hogs, and depend partially on pasturage, but I doubt if such a course is as profitable as marketing them earlier. The man who feeds but a few usually has some milk and with middlings a slop can be made for feeding pigs that if judiciously fed will make rapid growth. But you must have a good place to feed, a good feed trough, clean and dry with a good floor of cement or wood on which to place this trough and a good cover over it. This slop must not be given ice cold, never below 60 or 70 degrees in cold weather. Brood sows that will farrow this spring should be put into a roomy pen, each one in a separate pen, a week or two before she farrows. Mr. W. H. Randolph, of Brooklyn, N.
