Many Sided Life Of Dr. Lowery Many Sided Life Of Dr. Lowery Born of Free Parent, He Has Worked His Way to the Front and Achieved Success as a Student, Preacher, Business Man, Author and News-paper Correspondent. BY GEORGE P. KING. The Rev. Irving B. Lowery, A. M., D. D., who is one of the best known men of South Carolina, lives at present in the town of Florence. He was born at Shiloh, Sumter county, in 1850, and consequently something and felt something of altery. His father was a free man, having bought his freedom before his son Irving was born. Immediately after the war young Irving was sent to such schools as were provided for the children of the REV. INVING M. LOWEEN. ex-slaves by the Freedman's bureau, and, as he was an apt student, with a mind thirsting for knowledge, he learned rapidly. Having mastered the curriculum of these schools he was sent to the Baker Theological institute at Charleston, S. C., and from there to Clifton university at Orange- burg. On leaving Clifton he enterted the South Carolina conference of the M. E. church. Rev. Dr. Lowery is regarded by his brother ministers as one of the ablest preachers of the state. He has held the pulpit as pastor of some of all the universities of his denomination. He was for six years the presiding elder of the Greenville (S. C.) district. The degree of A. M. was conferred upon him by Claflin university and that of D. D. by Bennett college, Greensboro, N. C. But it is in the literary field where Dr. Lowery has won his greatest laurels. He began early in life to write for the newspapers and has kept it up during all these years. More than twenty years ago he was a staff correspondent of the Christian Witness of Boston. It was at this time that he published "Unconcerted Talent," which was published by McDonald & Gill, publishers of the Witness. Dr. Lowery has owned in connection with his sons, both of whom are printers, several publications. Two magazines, the Colored Preacher and Lowery's Religious Monthly, also a newspaper, the Southern Reporter, are among his journalistic ventures. Since he and his sons sold out and the company dissolved he has been writing for the daily papers-of the state. He worked five years for the News and Courier of Charleston and at present is working for the Daily Record of Columbus, a monthly written a newspaper articles for the Record on "Tuberculosis Among the Colored People" which are being printed in pamphlet form by the Record Publishing company. "Life on the Old Plantation in Antelopeum Days" is the subject of a book which he is now writing. In this story of southern life before the war will be found history, biography, poetry, fiction and descriptive narrative. The manuscript has been read in part by some of the best literary critics, all of whom speak in commendable terms. Dr. Lowery has had several propositions made to him by different publishers in South Carolina, but he has not accepted any of them so far. In fact, he has not decided as to whether he will publish it in book form or sell the manuscript and let it run as a serial. This will be decided when the book is completed. Robert Latham, the editor who persuaded Dr. Lowery to write a story, has read the manuscript in part and has offered to handle it and put it on the market. Step Jimcrowing the President. There is a growing tendency among Afro-Americans to have a short and complete stop put to the custom of having separate speeches to them whenever the president of the United States or any other officer of the national government visits the various sections of the country. This was made more than plainly evident in clerical at Jackson, Miss, called on the general committee having charge of the reception to President Taft on his visit to that city Nov. 1. To continue such a practice is nothing more or less than Jimcrowing the president. American Negro World Congress. American Negro World Congress. Movement Started by Major Wright Has For its Object the Celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Freedom of the Race in the United States. There has been much talk within the past few weeks on the subject of the celebration of the semicentennial of the emancipation of the Negro race in 1913. Many of the Negro leaders have expressed themselves concerning the matter. The movement for a national Negro semicentennial was really launched by the Georgia State Colored Agricultural and Industrial association under the presidency of Major R. R. Wright in 1906. The state fair, though held under the most adverse circumstances, was a success. Major Wright invited Professor Booker T. Washington to deliver the opening address. The second fair was a success, and now Major Wright is in the midst of preparation for his greatest Georgia state fair. In the meantime he has spent a portion of the summer advocating his project for a great national exposition under the title American Emancipation exposition. Its scope is worldwide and contemplates such an assembly and union of those of African descent in a world congress at the proposed semientennial as will make the world sit up and take notice. He believes that there can be raised for the project a million dollars by Afro-Americans. Congress will also be asked to make a liberal appropriation to the "white people of the south will approve and aid the movement. Major Wright has received letters from the governor and senators of his state and the most fattering indolence of all the leading white newspapers. The Atlanta Constitution, one of the most influential newspapers in the south, comments very favorably upon the project as follows: "Showing the world what the Negro has done along material lines in the fifty years elapsing since emancipation is the central idea of a national demonstrative exposition. The Georgia State College For Negroes at Savannah. The date proposed is the ending of the half century period in September, 1913. "Associated for many years with the advancement of practical education for the Negro in Georgia and aligning himself consistently with the conservative and constructive elements of his race. Professor Wright has deservedly won the confidence of his white neighbors and his own people not only in Georgia, but in a decisive measure of the same classes throughout the country." He has recently returned from a 5,000 mile tour of America, and among MAJOR R. R. WEIGHT. whites and Negroes he finds the sentiment for the projected exposition virtually unanimous. "There can be no question that the materialization of his idea would be of great practical value not only to the Negro himself, but as well in shedding light on the future industrial possibilities open to the race as a unit. "The Constitution believes an exposition of this scope and practicability would be a final and sufficient answer to the note of pessimism regarding the state of the world, and is trudged among the theists or the more myxole of the Negro's critics. "The race has never adequately taken stock of its progress, never calmly and categorically listed its assets and liabilities rising out of the momentous half century that has intervened since the proclamation of emancipation set before it the task of working out its own destiny. "Only a few penetrating and studious white southerners and fewer still of the Negroes themselves know what the Negro in the mass has achieved and is achieving. Heretofore we have judged from isolated and sometimes discouraging instances in the absence of a substantial basis of comparison. "That is exactly what an exposition of this description would provide. It would supply a vital ondriving inspiration to the race itself, and it would greatly clarify the misgiving, the misunderstanding, that here and there militate against continuously amicable relations between the races."

SHILDREN OF EXALTED TASTES Little Once Used to Dignitaries of High Estate. A well-known family in Catholic circles, living in Spring Garden street, and blessed with three very small daughters, spent last winter in Rome, where the small daughters were sent to school. The family, being quite hospitalily inclined, entertained quite lavishly some of the dignitaries in the city. Returning to Philadelphia, they received a hearty welcome, and among others some of their old priest friends called to bid them welcome home. The mother, always proud of her three small daughters, sent for them to be brought downstairs to the see the father. After they came, the three little golden-haired girls; but they only stood in the doorway of the spacious room and refused to come any further. The mother, much mortified at such behavior, said to the elder: "Come here, dear; don't you remember good Father — who used to come and see us from the cathedral?" There they stood, the three little blonde tos, and looking most disproportion at good Father — the eldest spoke: "We like cardinals," is what she said. Philadelphia Publie Ledger. NO WONDER SHE DIDN'T KNOW. Woman of Experience Not Hasty in Expressing Opinion. Before he had been in the car three minutes most of the women passengers and some of the men were explaining to their neighbors what they would do with the little lamp if he belonged to them. Spanking was the popular remedy, and if that boy had received then and there all the paddings that his critics were acting to administer he certainly would have been well blistered. To the general babel of advice and teach-finding, there was one common subject of interest nothing. She was gentle, gentle-haired body, who remained unruffled in the midst of the small tempest raging. "If that child was mine," said the determined woman beside her, "I make him mind if I had to half kill him. Wouldn't you?" "I don't know," said the little woman, mildly, "what I'd do." "Oh, yes," said the little woman. "I brought up 13. That is why I don't know what I would do." Concrete Not Modern. Concrete is a very ancient material for construction, but reinforced concrete is scarcely half a century old. It is said to have started in a happy idea that come to a Frenchman who wanted large flower pots for his plants which should not be thick and clumy. He reinforced them with wire. Nowadays we see glass reinforced in the same way, especially about elevatre shafts. Cognet and others developed the reinforcement of concrete for buildings, at first merely useful buildings like conservatories. As early as 1874 a concrete villa was built on the north shore of Long Island sound, but it was many years before the idea "took" hose, although in France, Belgium and Germany it was seized upon with avidity—Smith's Magazine.

Halley's comet has had its excursion ticket stamped in Heldelberg. We have it at first hand from the post that summer will not last forever. Like the north pole, the Halley comet is billed for discovery by a procession of scientific scouts. At any rate the world is glad to think that finding the north pole is no longer unfinishing business. There is many a slip between being talked of for a federal appointment and the actual seizure of the plum. Peru is sending its president's son to learn scientific farming in Wisconsin, though lama raising is but indifferently taught there. There seems to be no such thing in the world as an automatic and inviolable polometer to ring a bell when a man reaches the boreal climax. The pole has claimed its full quota of human victims. Now that it has been found, aviation is going to take its place in the sacrifice of life to gain victory. A Brooklyn girl has gone through Hell Gate, an aquatic feat attempted by many men who have failed in it. The gender sex is just now decidedly in the swim. Those who missed the occultation of Mars recently did not miss much. It was less exciting than some of the things one hears in the airshaft of an apartment house. While the constitution follows the flag under most circumstances it may find difficulty in following the flag to the pole and camping out permanently on moving hummocks of ice. One national government is installing an expensive wood-testing bureau at the University of Wisconsin, evidently being willing to hope that there will be wood to test for some time yet. Mexico is now getting more than its share of earthquakes and tidal waves. The losses of life there have been very large and the destruction of property tremendous. Italy is again going through the same experience and the people of both countries live in fear that the worst has not yet happened. The speed nuisance has become so bad in Chicago that it is seriously proposed to equip the street crossings with "bumps" to jar the cars of the life safety right to the streets of others. The remedy is drastic, but a trifle primitive. A few speed maniacs serving workhouse sentences would doubtless dispose of the nuisance. That the barnacle is a bothersome beast has been in evidence before and since Dickens used it as an illustration of certain human qualities. The big battleships South Dakota was dry-docked at Mare Island navy yard recently and 600 tons of barnacles were scraped from the bottom, such accumulations that minor the speed of many of the swiftest warships. If the proposed olling of roadways in the parks affords relief from the dust in these pleasure spots, why would it not give comfort on residence streets which have the nature of armor that hinder the oil and the application of it might be offset to a large extent by a reduction in the cost of sprinkling service due to the absence of dust on the oiled streets. The occultation of Mars by the moon the other night was a spectacle interesting to astronomers, but not important in revealing anything not previously known. Figurative significance it had none whatever, more's the pity. An occultation of Mars that would mean the end of wars on earth would call for a special assembling of the International Petroleum Council. Haiti to adopt resolutions of congratulation. The state department at Washington has been notified of the establishment of steamship service between Acajutla, Salvador and Salina Cruz, Mexico, the Pacific Ocean of Guatemala, that will reduce the time of the mails from New York to Salvador from 15 to 9 days.

The charge is made that the phonograph and the automatic piano are lowering public taste. That is one way of looking at the situation.

PRISON FOR WALSH FORMER BANKER'S CONVICTION IS AFFINED EV COURT OF APPEALS. AGED DEFENDANT IS ABSENT Fight to Escape Five-Year Prison Term Ends in Defeat for Walch— Case May Go to United States Supreme Court. Chicago, Oct. 6.—The United States circuit court of appeals Tuesday affirmed the guilt of John R. Walch. The heaviest blow yet to be dealt the former president of the Chicago National bank, and one-time power in the financial world, came when Judge Peter S. Groscup read the decision upholding the five-year tence imposed by Judge A. B. Anderson of Indiana over a year and a half ago. The attorneys for the defense now have 30 days in which to prepare an appeal to the appellate court for a rehearing. In case this is denied, and it is almost certain to be denied, Mr. Walsh's lawyers undoubtedly will carry the case to the States supreme court of an agency of the United States writ of certiorari. Mr. Walsh, himself, who sat without show of emotion through the trying months of the long-drawn-out trial, was not in court to listen to the slowly uttered words that almost destroyed all hopes of averting the heavy penalty suspended over him. The decision was handed down at the opening session of the October term of the court's appeal, and the court was forced to hear the momentous ruling, moved by curiosity or by sympathy for the man whose old age had reaped a harvest long foreseen in the years of his prosperity. December 18, 1905, it was announced that John R. Walsh's banking institutions, the Chicago National and its two auxiliaries, the Home Savings and the Equitable Trust pany, had been declared trustee by Congress. With this announcement the assurance that the banks of the city had rallied to the assistance of the depositors and would pay all indebtedness in full and hold steady the delicate balance of money affairs. Charles H. Bosworth was the federal bank examiner who precipitated the closing of the banks. At one time Mr. Bosworth was the president of the banks of the towns, the Southern Indiana, and thus had an opportunity to learn the manner in which the bank's funds were being used to build up this property. MINISTER CRANE RECALLED Summoned to Washington on Eve of Sailing for China from San Francisco. San Francisco. — Charles R. Crane, nowly-appointed minister from the United States to Peking, was recalled to Washington Monday night by a telegram from Secretary Knox. He gave to have sailed on the transport Thomas Tuesday for the Orient. Mr. Crane stated that the telegram merely requested his return to the capital as there were certain phases of the eastern situation with which the secretary of state did not think he was fully acquainted. "I will return to Washington day after to-morrow," said Mr. Crane. He declared he did not know what matters Secretary Knox desired to discuss with him. He declared his summons was for the purpose of discussing important diplomatic questions, refused to give any idea of their purport. "I did not see Mr. Knox before I left Washington," said Mr. Crane. "He was not in the city. I suppose something has arisen or has been called to his attention which he thinks I should know before I go to my post."

CHILDREN SHOWED IT Effect of Their Warm Drink in the Morning. A year ago I was a wreck from coffee drinking and was on the point of giving up position in the school room because of nervousness. "I was telling a friend about it and she said, 'We drink nothing at meal time but Postum, and it is such a comfort to have something we can enjoy drinking with the children.' "I was astonished that she would allow the children to drink any kind of coffee, but she said Postmum was the most healthful drink in the world for children," she said. "I think that the condition of both the children and adults showed that to be a fact. "My first trial was a failure. The cook boiled it four or five minutes and it tasted so flat that I was in despair but determined to give it one more trial. This time we followed the directions and boiled it fifteen minutes after the boiling began. It was a decided success and I was completely won by its rich delicious flavour. In a short time I noticed a decided improvement in my condition and kept growing back. I was perfectly healthy, and do my work in the school room with ease and pleasure. I would not return to the nerd-dedestroying regular coffee for any money." Read the famous little "Health Class" to walk to Wellville, in pks a Ragged Ringer. Ever read the above letter?

Wright had his machine under perfect control, and thousands along the route stood in disarray or cheered the storm. It is estimated that Wright made approximately 15 miles. He covered the distance in 33 minutes and 33 seconds. Wright made the trip in what he declared was an 18-mile wind, in spite of his assertion that an 11-mile wind was the limit of safety. He started by circling over the battleship fleet on the Hudson river and then struck out in the direction of Grant's tomb at a height of about 100 feet. As he went toward the Battery he rose higher, reaching probably 200 feet. The machine dipped like a launch in a swell as it proceeded. As the aeroplane approached the city, flying steadily, but bucking the wind, the roofs of all the buildings became crowded and pleasure craft started up the river in an effort to keep up with the remarkable craft that flow above them. They were soon compelled to give up the chase, for Wright outstripped the fastest of them. TAFT SEES THE BIG TREES Clad in Khaki, the President Views World's Wonders in the Yosemite Valley.

DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS FOR ALL KIDNEY DISEASES 168 RHEUMATISM BRIGHT'S DISEASE DIABETES BACKRASH 1375 *Guarantee* Anna Lind Sentenced at Logan Under Pathetic Circumstances Priserer Broke Into a Store at Woodbine to Secure the Necessities of Life for Herself and Logan, Ia., Oct. 8—Mrs. Anna Lind, the young woman who broke into the W. D. Cromle store at Woodbine early Saturday morning, July 24, and plead guilty in district court here was given an indeterminate sentence of ten years in the penitentiary and will be taken to Anamossa. Mrs. Linds' mother came to Logan, and after a touching farewell between daughter and mother, and a long parting embrace of the little baby boy the erring mother handed him to his grandmother, and for the first time gave way to tears and convulsive sobs. There is much stil for and against Mrs. Anna Lind, but from a reliable source it seems that the circumstances which led up to the commission of the deed are, in part as follows: About the middle of July last, Fred Lind, the husband of Anna Lind, made the necessary purchases to make a presentable appearance for himself and the necessary purchases due her, whereupon the husband redened her to go to town and make her own purchases. Being a determined woman, very poor, without available funds or credits, and smarting under the reply of her husband, and knowing that he was going away from home to be gone some time, and keenly realizing her humiliating and helpless condition, both as to herself, the little boy, she nerved herself to the rear store windows that barred her from what her heart raided resulting in her capture, detention, and being sentenced for an indeterminate period of ten years in the penitentiary. Fred Lind, the husband of the erring girl, is generally censured, and in a measure responsible for the wrong act in that he neglected to provide his wife with the necessities of life, and instead of doing all in his purpose to mitigate the offense and lessen the he cleared himself by an alibi, and acted or counseling word deserted his young wife in her misfortune. When Anna Lind was brought into the court room filled with curious spectators, there was a determined look upon her pale face and a fixed purpose in her dark blue eyes. A hush fell ever the spectators as her case was ended, and when she entered a plea of breaking and charging of breaking and entering a store in the night, a deathlike stillness prevailed in the room, as the court officials and spectators full well knew the penalty of such a plea.

TWO MORE KILLED JEALOUSY GIVEN AS THE CAUSE Roy Smith Wounded by Slayer, But Will Live—Harry Ervin Tella Sad Story of Estrangement —Father's Warning. Des Molines, Oct. — John D. Ervin, aged 40 years, last evening entered the home of his divorced wife, Mrs. Mattie Ervin, 1714 South Fifth street, fired two bullets at Roy Smith, a boarder who was in the house, then shot his wife dead and sent a bullet crashing through his own brain. Both Mr. and Mrs. Ervin died almost instantly. Smith, wounded slightly, ran across the street and gave the alarm. Neighbors rushed into the Ervin home and found the corpses of the murderer and his victim. The police were notified immediately and took Smith to the Mercy hospital where his wounds were dressed. He will recover. Mr. and Mrs. Ervin were divorced last spring after almost twenty years of married life. The divorce, according to the statement of their son, Harry, last night, was secured by the mother on charges of cruel and inhuman treatment. The decree her the possession of the family home made him a victim located at 1734. South Fifth street, where the murder and suicide occurred last night. Harry Ervin, aged 19, a hack driver, told the story of the estrangement of his father and mother. He declared that their home had been happy until about two years ago, but after that time they had frequent quarrels and he had been the go-between who prevented a separation for a family. Last spring, he was powerless and his relations longer, and his mother secured a divorce. Last night, about 8 o'clock Harry Ervin was at the union station with his hack, when his father came to him and bade him goodby, saying he was going away. The son thought little of the occurrence then, as he was busy, and although he knew his father did not intend to leave the city he had no premonition of the tragedy that was soon to take place.

THE VERY SOUL OF TRAGEDY Some miscreant, unresponsive to the beauties of nature and of the sweet charm evoked by the combination of two friends, a starry sky and a broad expanse of moonlit water, some rank materialist whose phlegmatic disposition was never stirred at a philanthropic act, some potty seeker after gain, some rogue, has stolen the broad, comfortable bench so fittingly placed under the sun, and J. Arnold and Robert King. At least the bench has disappeared, and all that meets one's eyes upon the green sward are the two upright postts that supported the back of the seat. No more can lovelick youth stray to its soothing recesses and gaze upon the slvery moon, regent of the night, likening her in his ecstasy to his lady fair. No more, alas, can betrothed secrecy to its secrecy and drink the lovlighteight from other eyes but for the words their souls speak through their optics. Again, alas, no more can melancholy philosopher, disgusted with the ways of men, mande to its sequestered place and find companionship only in the placid, smooth running stream and the limitless universe above. In short, all the pleasures derived from this convenience are gone, and we will heretofore be content to watch the edge of the wharf and let our feet dangle—Bristol Correspondent Dyssiot®n Republican. Spread Whole Box of It on Crackers—Not the Least Injury Resulted. Cuticura Thus Proven Pure and Sweet. A New York friend of Cuticura writes: "My three year old son and heir, after being put to bed on a trip across the Atlantic, investigated the stateroom and located a box of graham crackers and a box of Cuticura Ointment. When a search was made for the box, it was found empty and the kid admitted that he had eaten the contents of the entire box spread on the crackers. It cured him of a bad cold and I didn't what she." No more conclusive evidence could be offered that every ingredient of Cuticura Ointment is absolutely pure, sweet and harmless. If it may be safely eaten by a young child, none but the most beneficial results can be expected to attend its application to even the tenderest skin or youngest infant. Potter Drug & Chem, Corp.

The Highlands of Ontario is an ideal spot for the sportmard during the open hunting season for big game. In the Temagami region moose are plentiful and may be killed during the period from October 16th to November 15th. This territory is a forest preserve of vast expanse, and in addition to being a prime hunting ground, it abound with game fish of many species. The home of the red deer is located somewhat to the south of Temagami, particularly in the districts known as "Muskoka Lakes," "Lake of Bays," "Magnanetawan River," "Lake Nipissing," and "Kawartha Lakes" territories.

"Afro-American Pratismatism" is the title of a book which is soon to be published by the Roebucks. The publication will reveal some starting facts, which will no doubt create a sensation in Afro-American secret and benevolent societies. In it will be told why the Benavent and Philantropic Order of Roebucks does not have to contend with white men about the right to use its name, signs, regalias, grips, passwords and emblems. Why was the order established? To demonstrate to white men that Negroes are and can be original and not wholly dependent upon them for names. What is the significance of the name Roebuck, and why is it used? It signifies gentleness, kindness and affection. It is used because the Roebuck is an African animal frequently alluded to in Scriptures and because it typifies the work of the Order of Roebucks, which is based on love to God and fellow man and charity one toward another.

Although the use of bloodhounds for tracking criminals still survives, another ancient use of these dogs seems to have died out. Bloodhounds were at one time often called upon to assist an army in the field, the forces with which the carl of Essen suppressed the rebellion of Elizabeth, for instance, being accompanied by 800 dogs. In the Scottish clan feuds and the wars between England and Scotland bloodhounds were regularly employed in tracking fugitive warriors, and both Wallace and Bruce were hunted in this manner.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was posi- ble; but we have grown the hair for hundreds; rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persona whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that theirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you to use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.) See that the name PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Miss A. M. PORE.
