EPISCOPAL HONORS DOCTOR J. M. CONNORS A PROMI- ENT CANDIDATE GENERAL CONFERENCE MATTER By Rev. J. G. Robinson, D. D., one of the Ablest Writers in the A. M. E. Church—The Freeman a Great Help to the Church—Men and Measures. EDITOR OF THE FREEMAN:—We, of the great A. M. E. Church, have all along looked to you to give us space that our views may reach the masses of our membership and ministry, and thus help us in effecting such measures as will be helpful to the growth and government of our church. The Freeman is sought, especially the year previous to our general conference, as eagerly as the church papers. Much that ought to be said and would be said through the journals of the church is crowded out for one cause or another, possibly better known to the editors, hence the manly spirit of resistance against official power used in the wrong direction, rises up in us and we come to The Freeman, and always get a hearing, and we can say much of the good that is accomplished from time to time in our general conferences is brought about on account of the healthy public sentiment mounded through the columns of The Free. man. We, of the eighth episcopal district, will within a few weeks, elect our delegation to the Chicago general conference. Many of us are striving to elect a delegation that will look after every interest of the curch. By wise and judicious legislation we can remove much of the cause for the grumbling that is going on in the various parts of the connection today. We are paying $5,400 every four years to support an educational department that the wisest philosopher in the church is unable to show where one five cents benefits the connection. If all of our colleges were placed under the controls of local educational boards we would have saving every four years of the above named amount; saying nothing of the hundreds of dollars of useless expense attached to the office. Our Preacher's Aid Association ought to be made a permanent feature, and a certain amount of our dollar money ought to be set aside for our superannuated preachers and other conference beneficiaries, handled and paid out by this department. We should keep pace with the great movement of other larger bodies of Methodism, and give our laymen representation in our annual conference. If we had lay representatives in our annual conference the appointments would be made with much more satisfaction to all concerned. They would, also, be placed on the financial committee they should be. They would thus see the goings of the money, and we would be protected from the charge of corrupt dealings, and could be vindicated by the best posted laymen throughout the connection. Mark this expression: "The Leak matter is going to cut a figure in the coming general conference." About this we will say: Dr. Leak is one of the strongest characters in the church, and his friends have patiently borne the strain of his being thrust away from the department long enough. They are going to rise in their might and vindicate that grand old hero. So, about this matter I will just put a period right here. The Southern Christian Recorder fight is warming up. Dr. G. E. Tayler, having announced that he is out of the race, Rev. J. A. Lindsay, D. D., of Georgia; Rev. W. H. Mixon, D. D., of Alabama, are foremost in the race to succeed Dr. Taylor as editor of said paper. All three of these men are strong and able writers and representatives of the church. I am not "hoggish," but once I am advocating the election of more bishops I have not allowed my name to be associated with the position of editor of the Southern Recorder I have been urged by many to "come out" as a candidate, but Dr. Connor lives in Arkansas and is a prominent candidate for bishop, hence I will not ask for the Southern Recorder, unless the general conference decides not to elect any more bishops. In that event I will issue a circular asking the support of the general conference for the position—dark horses you see. The above are but a few thoughts that will be followed by other suggestions that we hope the church will heed. I now hand the likness of Rev. M. W. Thornton, D. D., the able and aggressive young pastor of our big church in Wilmington, Del. Dr. Thornton is a candidate for the position of secretary of the Young People's Society of Alceu's Christian Endeavor. Before giving you a sketch of Dr. Thornton's life I wish to say the church cannot urge the general conference to a greater piece of work than to insist that this department be placed on a primer basis than at present. This department, if operated aright, can bring more real good and growth to the church than any one department in the church. Just what it will take to make this department permanent and effective, I confess, I do not know, but I believe the subject of this sketch does. Rev. M. W. Thornton has been busy every since he was nothing but a boy. He was born of ex slave parents in 1870, at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. He completed the public school grades at the age of thirteen; graduated in the high school course, including short-hand and typewriting at Des Moins, Iowa in 1888, being the first Negro stenographer graduate in America. He entered Drake University, Des Moins, Iowa, and became the first Negro graduate of that institution, and was given the degree of B. D. June 15th 1892, became representative of University Freedman's Aid in Memphis, Tenn. He joined the conference under Bishop Brown at Memphis Oct. 9th 1893, served a mission at Etna Creek in the Cumberland mountains, built a church, and acted as instructor in the Dickerson-Wayman Academy. He has served as pastor at Davenport, Iowa, Iowa City, and Washington, Iowa, paying at these churches heavy debts of long standing. He has also served at Carmil, Ill., Lansing, Mich., and Logansport, Ind., making a record of deserving mention at each place. Bishop Derrick brought him to Mississippi, and had him appointed president and principle of Campbell College located at Jackson, Miss. This school had struggled for existence long and persistent. The petty loyalties and other hinderances had prevented this school from growing—In fact, it was a school "on paper." This young man took charge of affairs, and under his wise and sagacious management, a large building was erected, 150 pupils enrolled, the grade of the school raised, and a good faculty secured—so to-day Campbell College is one of the living facts of the A. M. E. church in Mississippi. By appointment of Bishop Derrick he served acceptably and with success as educational commissioner of the 8th Episcopal district, and presiding elder of the Myersville district, central Mississippi Conference. Dr. Thornton was elected delegate to the general conference of 1900, being the youngest member ever elected to that body, and was recognized as one of the ablest representatives at that setting. He was appointed as pastor, of Bryn Mawr, Pa., and afterwards P. E. of the Harrisburg district, paying a large debt at the former place, and instituting many reforms on the district as P. E., and but a few things worthy of mention in connection with the great success accompanying his efforts. As a writer he is well known. He has edited "The Campbell College Journal" and "The District Sentinel," and has written several books—viz: "The White Negro," "The Christ of Caste," "Inter-marriage of Races" and a number of pamphlets. Rev. Dr. Thornton is one of the race's most sought for contributors to magazines and papers. He is one of the most fearless spokesman of the race on questions pertaining to our rights. His name became a by-word throughout the country shortly after the lynching of the Negro White at Wilmington, Del., because of his manly utterances, and the burning sermon he preached the following Sunday. Dr. Thornton has been honored with the degree of "D. D." from Campbell College, in Mississippi, and Paul Quinn College in Texas. He is now delegate memorial of the lamented President McKinley, and delegate to the coming general conference, being elected from the mother conference of the connection—of which conference he is one of the recognized leaders. He is a lie trustee of Wilberforce University, and at present pastor of the large A. M. E. church at Wilmington, Del., one of the largest and most cultured churches in the first Episcopal district. The church is now undergoing a $3,000 repair. He is a candidate for the secretaryship of the young peoples society of Christian En- hand D., our own more-ren's on a say infer, so in a apart-more than Just deaver—and if elected will bring success to the department. His candidacy has assumed such proportions until he is spoken of more than all of his opponents put together. The Bishop question is also being discussed at great length. We need more Bishops, and I believe we are going to elect more. It is a senseless comparison to hold up the M. E. church to show that we don't need any more Bishops. The M. E. church, has culture and refinement to deal with in its largest fields—The North and East—The A. M. E. church—its largest work is in the South—so it is needless to say more. secretary of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Bastist Foreign Mission Board. Sunday was "church edifice" day among the colored prophets of Kentucky. A hand some collection was raised by the Louisville people. Mrs. Ruthen Collett delivered several lectures here in the interest of the A. M. E. Publication department. The cause in which she is laboring so earnestly is a most worthy one, and deserves far more substantial help than she is receiving. A big publishing house is of great advantage to the race in diffusing knowledge by affording an out-let for our literary and musical talent as If we had a force of Bishops that would travel and work like Bishop Grant and Tyree, our work would soon double itself in our Southern field. The older Bishops can't do it—So we need some more young blood on the bench. Arkansas presents the name of Dr. J. M. Connor, one of the ablest men of the church and race for Episcopal honors—He is a living monument of success. His name is being discussed in connection with [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. REV. M. W. THORNTON, D. D. Pastor St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Wilmington, Del. the Bishopric in every quarter of the church. Dr. H. T. Johnson's friends are making a strong and vigorous canvass to land him on the bench. Rev. Dr. Ransom, of Chicago is my choice for editor of the Christian Recorder. J. G. ROBINSON, young people. The con Walnut is easy of access every section of the c Nicholson, of Indianapark days here. He visited ness the military displ Louisville Laconics. Louisville, Ky., Special.—At the last meeting of the school board the following appointments were confirmed: Miss Martha Walton, as teacher at Maden Lane school and Miss Frances L. Wallace as teacher at the Western school. Steps are being taken to have all children attend the school in their respective districts, and do away with transfers except for very convincing reasons. This is right, and should have been done long ago. The registration of voters stirred this city from Fountain Ferry to Cave Hill last week. Charges and counter charges of repeating, importation of voters, fraudulent registration, intimidation and all forms of political corruption were freely made by the Republicans and Democrats. The books show about 40,000 electors, of whom 7,000 are colored. Many Negroes failed to register, as fully 10,000 are estimated to be qualified to vote in the county. The tests are quite encouraging to the republicans and thousands of regular democrats are promising to cast their ballots for Col. Belt.nap as a rebuke to the alleged revolutionary methods of Gov. Beckham and his allies. A curious manipulation of human nature is exhibited in the case of Mamie Britt, who was a few days ago, convicted of the murder of her lover and sentenced to be hanged. She has asked her lawyers to desist from their efforts to secure a new trial, fearing that the verdict might be a life sentence or a commutation. She prefers death to imprisonment to the end of her days means working but work and long.drawn out misery. She has religion and will be happy in Heaven. Mamies philosophy is unusual in this generation, but who knows, but she is not, like the Sainted Mary, choosing "the better part." Miss Nomnie Burroughs is beginning her fall term with her hand, hand and type-writing class. Miss Burroughs is an expert stenographer and finds ample exercise for her powers in her work as corresponding Hamburg, Ark. secretary of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Babbist Foreign Mission Board. Sunday was "church edifice" day among the colored prophets of Kentucky. A hand some collection was raised by the Louisville people. Mrs. Ruthen Collett delivered several lectures here in the interest of the A. M. E. Publication department. The cause in which she is laboring so earnestly is a most worthy one, and deserves far moresubstantial help than she is receiving. A big publishing house is of great advantage to the race in diffusing knowledge by affording an out let for our literary and musical talent as well as developing our industrial skill. Secretary T. F. Blues preached a sermon Sunday afternoon at Zion Baptist church, under the auspices of the colored Y. M. C. A., entitled "The Measures of the Man." The Sunday afternoon meetings at Asbury Chapel, for the discussion of current questions possesses a positive educational value, and they should be liberally supported, especially by the teachers, ministers and young people. The corner of Ninth and Walnut is easy of access to the residents of every section of the city. Mr. James S. Nicholson, of Indianapolis, spent several days here. He visited West Point to witness the military display, and was much pleased with the fine field work of the Hoosiers. The Freeman would like to secure a good, live agent at this point. Is there not some bright young fellow in the public schools desirous of earning his support by taking hold of the work? Apply at once. Mr. and Mrs. Bowman Adams, of 923 W.

Cottams celebrated their tenth anniversary at their residence, Bond street, last Thursday. The home was decorated with bunting, cut flowers and palms. Mrs. Henry Spencer, of Albany, Mrs. Mamie Morse and Rev. Adams received the guests. The house was crowded until a late hour. Last Friday evening, at Zion A. M. E.

There will be a supper at the new school house Saturday night, the 17th, for the benefit of the Zion Church. The Washington Conference. Believing that the situation brought about by the race problem in the United States can be relieved only by the best efforts of the people of both races, North and South, and feeling assured that there is sufficient wisdom, patriotism and love of fair play among the American people to enable them to cope with any situation, however grave, it has been decided by the National Sociological Society—an organization for the study of the condition of the colored people of the United States, and to suggest plans for the improvement of that condition—to call a conference to be held at Washington, D. C., November 9-11, 1903—at the time for the assembling of Congress in extraordinary session—to deliberate on the most serious phases of the race question, and to formulate plans for the relief of a strained situation. It is hoped that the discussions will be directed to definite propositions, and will lead to the formulation of remedial measures. The assembly shall be known and designated as the Washington Conference, and shall be free to elect its own officers, and to make rules for its guidance. As the membership of the conference will be confined to the most thoughtful and conservative persons of both races, it will necessarily be limited, and it is urged that the persons invited will accept the invitation and notify the corresponding secretary to that effect at once. The conference will be held at Lincoln Temple Congregational church. corner Eleventh and R streets, Northwest, Rev. Sterling N. Brown, D. D., pastor, and the first session will open at 2 p. m.

Washington are doing active and beneficial work in connection with the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society. The tide of emigration for the past five years has been strong in the direction of Indianapolis and Chicago, but its force is now being broken by the gradual return of prosperous conditions. Work for colored people is growing more and more plentiful, and many are finding it advantageous to make their homes here while following their employment in Louisville. As a city of homes New Albany ranks with the best communities in the State. N. B. Shacklett is doing well as a painter and paper hanger, serving some of the wealthiest families. Floyd county has a Negro population of 2,500, and the average of intelligence is high owing to the excellent public school system and the industry of the masses in grasping their opportunities. Rev. I. C. Manuel, who has returned from the National Baptist Convention at Philadelphia, says it was the finest gathering of colored people that he has ever seen. The ovation to Dr. Booker T.

Recently I went to work for a head- weater, .and after two weeks e tramp waiter came along, engaged a room with the headwaiter, and ss I was the only new man, hence the can. I left the clty the following day. The tramp waiter staid about three meals, Thte neadwaiter sent for me, but I had gone. If headwaiter seats a guest at his table, who rewards his waiter witha fee, in case the waiter gives the head- waiter cause to become sore at him, off your etation the guest goes. Such is not the proper way to reprimand a waiter. I belleve you all will agree with me when I say that an efficient officer’s ideas are too broad to allow him to be spitefal, Another incident: If a guest is of the kind to fee only the man in the door, should he secure said guest on a certain waiter’s station and cause the waiter to lay off, which almost any waiter will invaribly do, or how? ‘The most important of my lengthy query ie: Should a waiter expect a tip? If eo, under what conditions? I was emplcyea at a restaurant in Kansas City a short while ago. An ineoription posted read: “A waiter who works for tips will not be tolerated” But they were paying $10 per week instead of $20 per month.

Uniontown, Col. ‘THE NEGRO IN BUSINESS. Opportunities Wait Upyn the Ener- getic and Thrifty Worker, Despite the attacks made upon him by a discontented class of Negroes, Booker Washington continues to hold the firet place among those to whom the more thrifty and wiser Negroes turn for ad- vice and counsel. At the recent con- vention of “The National Negro Buel- ness Men’s League” at Nashville, he was the principal speaker and was re- ceived with an earnestness which must have more than compensated him for the harsh treatment he received from some of his race on his recent. visit to Boston. Itis worth nothing as an evi- dence of the better sentiment with res- pect to the Negro which prevails in the South that the convention was held at the State Capitol upon an invitation given by the Legislature. As the Leg- islature is composed almost wholly of whites the giving of the} invitation Js a proof that the rabid hostility expressed by Senator Tillman and a fw other po- liticane does not truly represent South- ern sentiment, at lesat so far as the Ne- gro workerand business men are con- cerned, Washingtoa, of course, repeat- ed his well known counsel of work and Patience as the only means of solving the problem of the Negro in the United States. In the course of his address he said. “We shall succeed in winning our way into the confidence and esteem of the American people just in propor- tion as we show ourselves valuable to the community in which we live, in all the common industries, in commerce, in the welfare of the State and in the manifestation of the highest character. The community does not fear as 8 rule the vote of the man no matter what his color who is a large taxpayer. It is not the Negro who owns a suosess- fal business or works at a trade whe is charged with crime. While we are in many cases surrounded with disadvan- tages, when we compare our condition and opportunities with those of the Jews in many parts of Europe it is easy tosee that almost every opportunity, dented the Jews is open to us, The greater the difficulties to be overcome, the more strength we ehall gain by sno- ceeding. Every house owned every farm well cultivated, and bank account every store, every tax receipt we pos- sees is one influence which will operate tremendously in our favor.” ) ‘The statement that the Negro in the South, despite all the disadvantages under which he labors, is better off then the peasants and Jews in many countries of Europe is fully justified by| the facts. ‘There are no limitations put! upon the Negro in the South as 8 work- erand as a property owner, and aa land 1s chesp and opportunities for work abundant, even though wages are small, more thrifty among the Negroes are prospering. Starting without an ‘sere of land, without a dollar, without experience in the responsibilities of freedom, the race asa whole has made notable advanoe in the accumulation of property and some of the abler men. have become wealthy. Alorg these lines, then, the Negro can hope to ad- vance to a position of power in the community that will enable him to command a respect for his rights of all ikinds.—San Francisco Call.

HOLTZMAN MAYOR. The municipal campaign ending last Tuesday at the polls was without doubt the fiercest ever waged in the city of Indianapolis. Ex-Mayor Bookwalter was the "point" of attack from start to finish; he was the storm center around whom the political fury raged at all times. That he ran, as well as he did under the circumstances is remarkable and very much to his credit. At this writing Mr. Bookwalter stands beaten by his Democratic opponent, Mr. Holtzman, by about 1,000 votes. Many things conspired to defeat Mr. Bookwalter, most of which he could have avoided; he had great faith in machine politics, a lesson learned from his very successful predecessor, Thomas A. Taggart. But Taggart was an adept at hiding the operations of the machinery, while Bookwalter or his unfortunate crew took great pleasure in showing its beautiful movements. The parts were too much in evidence; they were too conscious and too acknowledging that they were parts. Mr. Bookwalter looked after the very faithful who had rights also, but it simply emphasized the machine idea to which so many stand opposed. The ex-mayor was liberal in his views, but probably not nearly so liberal as he was characterized. He was unfortunate in becoming entangled with the Indianapolis News, an old paper of reputation and great circulation, resulting in a fight to the death. It conducted a campaign by cartoon and spoke every day to the 200,000 citizens of the community. Mr. Bookwalter and the saloon people made a pill that was none too easy to swallow, but it is easy enough to see that he was driven to the position by the serious defection in his own ranks that menaced him from the very beginning. It is not too much to say that the city was tending toward the open, the sign that threw 5,000 votes to Hitz, the Prohibition-Independent candidate. Mr. Bookwalter, the practical politician that he is, was simply trying to make good; there had been elimination—there had to be substitution. The tendency to favor and screen his new found friends was perhaps the greatest evidence that they were his friends. But, in spite of the serious slump in his own party which in the main cast the 5,000 votes for Hitz, he made what politicians must concede, an excellent showing; it also shows what, under normal conditions the vote may have been. Hon. Judson W. Lyons has the assurance from his State, according to the Atlanta Age, of being re-elected National Committeeman and head of delegation. Well, Lyons is a great big man, who takes to politics like a duck to water. He is decidedly easy of approach, but his bearing permits no presumption. He is engaging in his personality, having the faculty of making you feel that you count for something also. You go away feeling that you have met a warm blooded animal; not a fish. Rev. E. W. Lambert, D. D., financial secretary of the A. M. E. church, was among the recent visitors of The Freeman office. He has just prepared an interesting little pamphlet of the collections and disbursements of funds for his department during the fiscal year, which includes $50 money sent from the West African Conference, the first dollar money sent from the continent of Africa. The pamphlet is interesting in that it sets out at length the financial status of the church, which is in a flourishing condition, each district showing a decided increase in collections over the preceding year. Mr. Charles F. Sneed, formerly a teacher in the Indianapolis schools, has gone to Cane Spring, Ky., to take charge of Eckstein Norton University. Mr. Sneed has taught in that institution before The Southern News, a publication of the institution, has this to say of him: Colored people should practice politeness. It is indicative of good breeding.—The Richmond Planet. It is indicative of good sense. Mr. Bookwalter was as game as old Napoleon. Every man meets his Waterloo at the last day if not sooner. Some of the colored Independents wilted in the booth, but they cast a large percent of their vote. The colored votes were divided between the Republican and the Democratic parties and Mr. Hitz. at Tuskegee Institute in the carpenter department, and his work proves that he is one of the leading workmen here. The Camilla Baptist Association began at Bethel Baptist on the 18th. Mrs. Georgia Henderson of Brunswick, Ga., is visiting relatives here. The B. Y. P. U. is all the go now, being set up at all the churches. The Freeman correspondent wishes every reading man to read this paper. See Mrs. Carrie Burns. So now paper clothes are to come in, and a good suit will be sold for $2.50. It will be incumbent upon the wearer, however, to know enough to come in when it rains. A Tuskegee students rejoices in the historic name of Henry Ward Beecher. Eckstein Norgron University opened Monday, October 5th, with an increased number of students. The outlook is quite bright for a most successful year. Prof. C F. Sneed, A B. A M, is the new principal. He is well known in the State and much beloved by all. He ranks high as an educator of experience. It is now M. Lebaudy, a French millionaire, who would carve out an empire out of the heart of Africa as a home for the United States Negroes. He would set up a Negro kingdom. He seems to have the money; we have the people, so on with the job. We do not desire to damn the scheme with faint praise, but we fear Monsieur will have an elephant on his hands. He is after Bishop Turner's heart; they ought to strike up a coalition. A kingdom means a king, who will head the dynasty—the Romulus of the seven hills to be? The door of the Colored Knights of Pythias Castle has been valued by an art connoisseur and antique dealer at the sum of five hundred dollars. Perhaps the Joint Stock Association builted better than I knew.—Weekly Guide, Baltimore, Md. If the door is worth $500, what is the whole structure worth? Of course we are supposing the building is the result of the same creative genius as the door. Why not sell it and have another made just like it? The "Snap Convention" is an incident that will be very much harped on in these anti-Bookwalter days. It appears that Mr. Bookwalter should have halted the convention in order to give other candidates a chance to shy their castors in the ring for the mayoralty candidacy. But presumably he felt that everything was fair in love and war and that he did not intend to give the enemy a club to break his own head; he had the club. Some colored men voted for Hitz and less for Holtzman; it was their high privilege if they saw it that way. Mr. Holtzman is now mayor; he is a Democrat, but he is mayor of the city and has sworn to do his duty. The campaign talk of what the colored folks may expect of him is the merest nonsense. He expects the same of us as any mayor, and we expect the same of him. And then there's the primary election for candidates on the county ticket; the worse piece of business the city has seen by the way of politics and where chances for a misdeal was so evident that all the defeated ones felt to have had it; it happened in the days of Bookwalter, and he suffers some on that score. The primary election law was the creation of Mr. Frederick Joss "What the Twentieth Century Demands of the Negro" is a pamphlet by Rev. R. A. Adams, B. D., of Natchez, Miss, who is well known as a versatile writer. He seeks to make the sailing of the race plainer by pointing out the dangerous places. The advice given is sound as might be expected of one who has given the subject so much attention. One of the serious things about the result of the recent election: there will be less colored people around the court house; but that's a mere bagatelle a great victory has been won; that is by some one. The Republicans of course defeated Mr. Bookwalter; they felt that he was a master mechanic at the machine and whose continuation in office simply intrenched his position. The annual statement of Manager John H. Collett of the A. M. E. Book Concern of Philadelphia, Pa., has appeared in pamphlet form, in which the details of the institution are set forth. The recent campaign was a trifle breezy for the colored boy; it was a case of diamond out diamond or Greeks meeting Greeks; the class was swift. Colored people should practice politeness. It is indicative of good breeding.—The Richmond Planet. It is indicative of good sense. Mr. Bookwalter was as game as old Napoleon. Every man meets his Waterloo at the last day if not sooner. Some of the colored Independents wilted in the booth, but they cast a large percent. of their vote. The colored votes were divided between the Republican and the Democratic parties and Mr. Hitz. Rev. Herod and the push didn't get what they went for, but they got the next thing to it. Let Hitz colored men remember that Hitz was their candidate; not Holtz- man. Mr. Keach says he only opposed the bad among the colored folks. Indiana avenue-u-u-u. He will Keach you-o-o-o. EXCHANGES. The Seventh Day Adventists are stirring up Salisbury, N. C., not so much because of their peculiar tenets as of their ideas of Christian brotherhood. The other Sunday they baptized three whites and five colored candidates and the "Star of Zlon" says, "white women of the sect wiped the faces of the white converts with the same towel that had wiped the faces of the black converts." Social equality like this will never do.—The Record, Washington, D. C. Dr. Edward Davis of St. Louis, Mo, resident physician of Provident hospital has been appointed physician to an Indian school at Zuni, New Mexico. It is a federal appointment and pays a salary of $1,000 per annum. Dr. Davis is in every way competent to fill the position that he merits.—The Kentucky Reporter. Dr D. P. Roberts, pastor of St. Paul's chapel, the leading church west of the Mississippi, has made the grandest success of any pastor since the organization of this church. His integrity and christian bearing have taught the people of St. Louis to love and respect him regardless of denomination—St. Louis Palladium. The Negroes of this country need some money. This is the only way by which they can be respected in a certain sense. They are doing very well on the educational matter, but I don't mean that he is doing as much as he should, but I mean that he is doing better along this line than he is along the line of accumulating money. The way to accomplish this is to be economical and don't spend more money a day then he earns.—The Piedmont Indicator. Camilla, Ga., Special.—Mr. R. C. Birt and Bros. have opened up a grocery store on Scott street. Prof. James J. Williams, R C. Lamar and R. B.

Mary Shaw’s Versatility. ‘The character of Mra. Alving in Ib- sen’s “Ghosts” affords Mary Shaw an excellent opportunity for the display of her versatility. Mrs. Alving {s the cen- tral figure in the domestic tragedy. The display of emotion she is culled upon to exhibit increases in intensity until the tremendous climax of the last act, when Mrs. Alving’s only son, Oswald, who ls tottering on the verge of insanity, urges her to give him poi- son with which to end his unfortunate Ufe. In this trying ecene Miss Shaw works so effectively that it is an inva. riable custom for spectators to remain in their seats after the final fall of the curtain and call the actress to the foot- lights again and again. Local theatre goers have desired to see “‘Ghosts” on account of the sensation the play caused in New York City and Chicago. They will have an opportunity of witnessing it when it is presented here at English’s on Saturday, October 17th, matinee and night by Maty Shaw and a competent supporting company. Notes from the Exchange Garden theatre, Jacksonville, Fla—The week beginning Monday Ootober 5th was a banner one. Our show opening with the laughable act “Obrien” and each Performer got their fall share of ap- planze. The ollo was opened by Miss Annie Jones, singing ‘Stand up and let the Lady Sit down. “Pretty Little Dinah Jones,” sung by Pearl Woods had to be sung over again. Buddie Glenn, that fanny comedian, singing “Hard Luck,” be makes everybody laugh with bis funny sayings. Miss Virgie Deor, ‘Ring Down the Curtain” was good. Dennis Mitchell, with his talking and singing turn, stands at the head in his line of business. Mise Sarah Price is everybody's favorite, but we regret to say Miss Price has been on the sick list for ceyeral days. Dan Robin- gon, in his Irish character, s 0. K The performance conelnd with Mr. Buddie Glenn’s lsughablesct ‘Senator Mill Sap, from Five Oak, Fla.” “Black Snake” sells The Freeman. Notes from the Hercules of Minstrel- dom, Billy Kersand’s Own Big Co— The past week has been a “‘corker,” the 8. R. O., sign being in evidence at every performance, and in a number of places crowds were turned away with the sad news that the capacity of the house had already been overtaxed. Well, we showed in Memphis two nights and a matinee, and to say that we “raised the roof” would be putting it mildly.

It fits her gentle, pa: thetic personality perfectly. Miss Talia- ferro has a sweet singing voice, not of much power, but heart reaching in its charm and clearness. She is to sing a couple of songs in “Mrs. Wiggs, of the Cabbage Patch,” which are calculated ‘to touch the emotions of the most cal- lous. One of these congs is a dainty Httle lullaby called “Cuddle Down Town,” by Kerr & O'Neill, the other » pathetic bit of melody, entitled: “In Garden of Faded Flowers,” by Lamb & Bratton. Mies Taliaferro has a great future before her, bat it 1s doudtfal if she will have @ better opportunity for success than in ‘‘Lovey Mary~” Four years ago Fay & Oliver, the well known song writing team, wrote a charming sernade, called “Good Night Beloved, Good Night.” As soon as thelr publishers, N, Whitmark & Son, heard the song they knew it was of the kind which would, if properly handled be- come a standard composition, eo they resolutely set to work, and in newspa- per parlance ‘‘plugged it” for all it was worth. The strange part of the thing fs that, although the song !s full of melody and beantifal sentiment, through a strange combination of cir- cumstances, it took just four years of hard striving on the part of the pub- lishers to place it where it is now—on the very top notch of popular songs Some songs act that way. Alfred G. Robyn, who was one of the first of modern composers to write one of those characteristic and colorfal in- termezzi, which have since become £0 popular has followed up “Mansantello,” his first great success in that line by 8 similar composition, though in another vein. This Is entitled ‘‘San Domingo,” and was written as a dance and ——— number in the “Yankee Consul,” the new comic opera which he has written in conjanction with Henry H. Blossom, Jr. This intermezzo will, doubtless, become a favorite with orchestras all over the country, especially in restan- rants of popular resorts, where it will doubtless tale its place besides the ever popular Intermezzo from ‘Cavalleria Rusticana” and “La Paloma.” aiiecniea teens Kalamazoo, Mich., Spectal.—The Sec- ond Baptist Charch raised $364 which liquidated the debs on the church.

Preventive Treatment For Early Blight, Late Blight and Rot. Fungous diseases are caused by the growth of one plant upon another. The fundamental principle in the treatment of fungous diseases is to prevent the in- fection of the host plant by the spores of fungi. The most practical way of doing this is to apply to the plant to be protected some substance that will kill ‘the spores before or immediately after they germinate without injuring the host plant. Such a substance is called a fungicide. ‘The method of application is usually by spraying. Copper sulphate (common names, blue vitriol, bluestone) is the most gen- erally used fungicidal substance. It is used both in a simple solution and as the basis of bordeaux mixture. The pe 5 A erm NAN A Ne ART ae Le) + RE NS - se LP pia ana we ice eee "Sa EE ae simple solution of blue vitriol when applied to leaves or other green parts of plants will cause “burning.” ‘The addition of lime to the solution will prevent this injury. ‘This combination fs called bordeaux mixture. The following is a good formula for the bordeaux mixture: Blue vitriol, 5 pounds; lime (fresh), 5 pounds; water, 50 gallons. Dissolve the vitriol in water (hot wa- ter will do it more rapidly), slack the Ime, dilute each with as much water as can be done conveniently, the more the better; then mix and stir thor- oughly. If a little yellow prussiate of potash §s dissolved in water and a few drops added to the bordeaux mixture no change will be noted beyond perhaps a slight yellow color if enough lime has been used. If, however, too little has been used a brown color will appear, and more lime must be added. A smail excess of lime will do no harm. ‘denditun: Petrthes.. The barrel pump is designed to be attached to a barrel or tank and is the most generally useful form for ordi- nary orchards, vineyards and potato fields. Where a large amount of spray- ing has to be done a sprayer run by horse or steam power may be obtained. ‘The barrel pump outfit (the pump should be attached to the head of the barrel) may be carried in almost any farm wagon which is at hand, a light one horse rig being preferable. A convenient spray cart may be cheaply made by fastening a platform of boards or plank on the axle of a pair of forward wheels which are provided with strong thills, The platform can be made so as to be readily and quick- ly detached when the wheels are want- ed for any other purpose. i la Early Blight.—Dark brown or black spots with sharp margins upon the Teaves, increasing in size and number, ‘finally killing the vines; usually ap- pears on late potatoes the latter part of July. Late Blight and Rot—Rapidly pro- gressive wilting and dying of the eaves, a whitish moldlike growth ap- pearing on the underside; accompa- nied by rotting of the tubers; appears in August. These two diseases are frequently present together. ‘Treatment. —Spray with bordeaux mixture by the middle of July, a sec- ond time the first of August, a third time the middle of August’ When bugs are present at elther of these sprayings they may be killed by add- ing half a pound of paris green to a barrel of the bordeaux—H.

Dr. Miles' Nervine Made My Nerves Strong. "For many years I suffered from terrible headaches and pains at the base of the brain, and finally got so bad that I was overcome with nervous prostration. I had frequent dizzy spells and was so weak and exhausted that I could take but little food. The best I could do was could not sleep, would die of paralysis as my father and grandfather had. I remained a helpless invalid for three years, when I heard of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nerve and began using it. That winter I felt better than I had before in many years, and I have not been able to recover since I first used Dr. Miles' Restorative Nerve. My appetite is good and my nerves are strong."—Mrs. N. M. Bucknell, 2029 Oakland Ave. Minneapolis, Minn. "For many years I suffered from nervous prostration, and could not direct my household affairs, nor have any cares. My stomach was very weak, headaches very severe, and I was so nervous that there was not a night in years that I slept over one hour at a time. We spent hundreds of dollars to the Chicago office and treated by specialists, but received no benefit at all. Finally I heard of Dr. Miles' Nervine and began its use. I was surprised that it helped me so quickly, and great was my joy to find, after using seven bottles, that I had fully recovered my health."—Mrs. W. A. Thompson, Duluth, Minn.
