In an address last Monday night before the 35th Annual meeting of the Georgia Press Association, Royal Daniel, of Quitman, Ga., referring to lynchings in this state, declared that if all the newspapers of Georgia would eliminate politics and become subservient the principle that "Georgia's fair name would be vindicated and the slobbering tounges of foreign critics forever silenced." Mr. Daniel deplored the lynchings, urging the press of the state to aid in preventing them. Japanese Condenm America's Practice of Lynching Throng Public Opinion Thruout the World Necessary to Bring America to Her Senses. New York City.—A Japanese condensation of American lynchings has been received in the form of a four column editorial in the Asian Review, May-June number, published in Tokyo, Japan, it says in part: Americans vociferously claim to be the champion of justice and humanity, says the editorial, "yet they not hesitate to trample upon these very principles and persecute the very foulest deed ever conceived." The editorial concudes by saying "that creation of a strong public opinion throughout the world will be necessary in order to bring sufficient pressure to bear upon the American government to adopt effective measures at once so as to make it impossible for the American mobs to resort to these barbarous exercise." Pensacola, Fla. After a Negro has been accused, two white men charged with the murder of John M. Tuggle of Chipley, Fla., near Deerling in Oskaloosa County, Fla., July 4th have been arrested at Bainbridge, Ga., according to information received here.

Barnstable, Mass.—Four machine guns were set up here about the jail by forty artillerymen who arrived from the national guard summer camp at Barnstable last Friday night to aid Sheriff Rosenthal to guard three colored men who were under arrest, charged with highway robbery, and criminal assault on a young white woman here earlier in the week. The troops came after the Sheriff had appealed for additional protection when he learned that a mob of Negroes was forming to rescue the prisoners and another mob of whites were gathering to repeat their attempts to lynch the suspects, John Dies, Benjamin Gomez and Joseph Andrews. The white mob of 200 men and women made an attempt to get the prisoners. The Negroes have been identi Wrong Again led by Miss Gertrude Buter and Williams Eldridge as the men who held them up and ordinarily assaulted the young wom n Dies and Gomez have held in $15 000 bail and the third was arranged Saturday.

ANOTHER GREAT MEETING GONE INTO HISTORY. AUGUST 9-14. BY C. C. PHILLIPS, GOLCONDA. Continued from last weed. The women did a great work, under the leader-hip of sister M. B. Taylor, and the sign's bids fare to do a greater work this year. The amount realized from all sources $417, and some cents. A letter came in from the Corinthian Baptist church, Mt. Veanon, with the sum of $12.00 since the Association. Not a delinquent church in the Association. The letters contained from $6 to $10.00, 15, 25, to $45.00 and the beauty of it is that not a dollar of the designated or appropriated money was used for anything other than it was sent for. It was a delight to hear the good people of Carrier Mills, say we have not much money, but the churches and messengers gave it. We can truthfully say that there are no more liberal givers than the people of Carrier Mills, had the work not been closed down the amount realized this would have eclipsed all other meetings. The association endeavored to to help all departments. Upwards of $40. left with pastor of church. Household Projects Hassay Annual Ralenth.

If we properly remember about $20, to the State and his expenses home. Foreign Missions and Education was also remembered. The Supt. of Missions was not forgotten $5222 was handed over to him. The messengers saw fit to send the moderator to the National Baptist Convention (unincorporated which convenes in New Orleans, La., Sept. 7-12. Sister M. B Taylor, also goes thru the same financial channel. There was no one black mailed or even accused of taking money nor none of the brethren that were absent, were forced to make a defense. It appears that Prof C. C. Wilson editor of The Baptist Truth, was forced to let the "cat out of the bag." He seems to be grieved because of the fact that he has stood with Zion Association with 'might and main,' as against his many friends, and to be treated thus, is more than he cared to bear. He also states among other things that he withheld abusive articles from the columns of the 1921 Truth that he would have been paid to publish. Of course that does not reach us, for we did not write articles of that character. It is also true that we paid him to publish our article, and to reproduce the January article that Dr. Olive gave to the baptist Truth. It is also true, that the Professor said that he did not care to publish abusive articles as against pastor, and he read our article to his own satisfaction, and published it. We also sent another another article which never came out nor was it returned to us. We have also stated a number of times, not only in the local papers, but such as The Union Review, that if we had misrepresented any fact or facts, we would gladly make our confession thru the Public Press, and from "Those days," up to this good day no man has been able to do it. We told Dr. Olive "That those who lived in glass houses must not throw stones." "And he who accuses others must himself have clean hands." Johnsonville, Tenn. Dear Brother McCrary, Dear Sir:-This will inform you that we are all well and hope that you are doing nicely. I want you to allow us a little space in your worthy paper as I want to say that we just closed a 12 days meeting which the Lord gave to us. He met us with the Holy Ghost, and by the prayers and songs of the true believers of God put the host of Satan, to flight and by that, the meeting closed with 39 souls who had found a new Saviour. By the help of God, on the second Sunday of September our beloved pastor Rev. W. T. Webb, will and minister baptism. He was assisted by Rev. Ward, of Dresden, and Rev. Colemamon, of Camden. I remain yours for Christ, Calvin Long. We are pleased to hear from relatives and from our old home town and to learn of the spiritual success. We would like to have a letter every week for the paper George Bernard Shaw Refuses to Visit the U. S. on Account of Mobs New York, Aug. 25.—George Bernard Shaw, in reply to a letter to Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the Nation, in which the writer was asked if he intended visiting the United States, said: 'I have no intention of going to prison with Debs or taking my wife to Texas, where mobs snatch white women from out of hotel verandas and tar and feather them. If I were dependent upon martydom for reputation, which happily I am not, I could go to Ireland. It is a less dangerous place, but then the voyage is shorter and much cheaper. You are right in your impression that a number of persons are urging me to come to come to the United States. But why on earth do you call them my friends?' Bullets Halt Tennessee Mob Knoxville, Deputies Fire Into Crowd That Stormed Jail for Prisoner Shoot Thirty-One of Mob None of Victims Dead But Two Are Seriously Wounded and Three Women Struck Quiet at Last Report After Volleys of Shots Drove the Crowd Back Police Quickly Dispersed the Gathering Knoxville, Tenn.—The city was comparitively quiet to-day following a riotous attack on the jail last Friday, during which thirty-one persons were wounded by fire from the deputy sheriffs. Fear was expressed throughout the day that another attempt would be made to take Martin from the jail tonight. Sheriffs and deputies in touch with the situation said they could not locate the mob said to be marching into the city. If there is any organized effort to again storm the jail the officers know nothing about it. Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 19. Thirty-one persons were wounded, two seriously tonight, when deputies guarding the Knox County jail fired on a crowd which had crossed a dead deadline with the purpose of demanding Frank Martin, held in connection with a criminal assault upon a county school teacher. All of the wounded are white. Two are women. Deputy Sheriff Charles Lewis was wounded in the arm by shots from the crowd. Although the machine gun company of the 117th infantry, Tennessee national guard, was on duty at the jail, the soldiers did not open fire. Heard Teacher Identified Him. Following reports that the school teacher had identified Martin as her assailant, crowds gathered in the vicinity of the jail. They were turned back twice by police. Gradually, almost two hundred men and boys approached the jail, while several hundred other persons, many of them women, in the court house yard, looked down upon the scene. As they came within one hundred feet Sheriff Cate stepped under an arch light and demand that they disperse. He gave warning that an imaginary line between the two telephone poles should not be crossed. As a dozen men passed these poles, the Sheriff picked up a shotgun and fired over the head of the into the air. Four deputies who were him then fired two volleys. Two men in the court house yard and two or three in the street fired revolvers in reply. The shooting then became general, deputies firing rapidly. In the court house yard scores threw themselves to the ground to escape the hail of bullets coming in that direction, while the crowd in street ran back, panic stricken, and the deputies charged firing over the heads of the crowd and driving them all of them all back in Gay street, a block from the jail, Her Instructions Conductor—"Ticket, please."

There is only one way to cure cartarrhaj deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.

Three Dead Eight Wounded in Race Clash Augusta, Ga., Aug. 25—Three persons are dead and eight are known to have been wounded in a clash here late last Tuesday between whites and Negroes. The disturbance began with the killing of Ben T. Hightower, manager of a local wagon works, by Walter Smalley, Colored chauffer, who later ran amuck, firing indiscriminately at white persons before before being slain himself. The known wounded are all white men, although two colored are reported to have been shot while passing in an automobile. W. W. Moore, a policeman, was the third victim of the shooting. Bands of armed whites quickly gathered when reports spread of Smalley's outbreak but theatened violence against other Negroes captured on the streets was prevented by intervention of police. U. S. Census Report. The number of people on the farms now is 6,459998, or only 98,000 more than in 1910; so that our farm population is practically stagnant. Mississippi, Nevada and Vermont actually lost some of their people, owing to the movement of population to the cities and industrial districts. The new census shows that, in round numbers, a baby is born in this country every ten seconds, a death occurs every 18 seconds, a marriage every 25 seconds and a divorce every 25 minutes. About 12 deaths out of each hundred are due to pneumonia. Heart disease is second. Tuberculosis used to head the list but it is now third, as a result of the more scientific treatment of it. The census totals here given are still subject to some slight corrections. Hence we will wait for the final figures before going into further details. 105,685, 108 People in United States. You may think that you don't count much in this great country, but the fact remains that if you had not been here, that final 8 in the grand total of population in this country would have been a 7.

They expressed their willingness to give, but felt unprepared at that time. Of course you know that 12 1-2 cents each of one million baptist would net up to Sixty two thousand two hundred fifty dollars ($62, 250) this amount would perhaps run the School one term and no one be hurt. But at any rate we remarked that all who had chickens and would sell one for the purpose herein stated to raise their hands, so there was a number sold chickens and not a one brought less than 35 cents. So it can be seen what an easy matter it would be to run the school at this plan. It can be plainly seen that everybody that is interested in the education of their children can do a little something. And too, Bro.

So long as this condition exists in Metropolis, or any other municipality in the United States, just so long will the proud boast of "Democracy," be a sham and a blot on the American Government, the civilized nations and a stench in the nostrils of God. Every Race and individual are entitled to Justice before the law in state, county, city or hamlet in the U.

S. TOLD GEORGE NOT TO WORRY English Labor Leader Cared Little for That "Divinity That Doth Hedge a King." Kings have no longer any ruling power in a first-class nation. A little incident in which the king of England figured last year may be told in connection with the new spirit of affairs. The late Will Crooks, a labor member of parliament, a cockney with a big black beard and devoid of atliches, a sincere and much loved man, as remote from highbrow socialists as from hidebound conservatives, was among the fashionable crowd of guests at the royal garden party. The king got him into conversation. Will Crooks talked as freely to his monarch as he would to a follower in the East end. of London. Both men were soon deep in the troublous times which were upon England. The king plainly showed his anxiety about the future. Will Crooks, who was the most sympathetic soul in the world, tried to reassure the king as they shook hands in good-by: "Now, look here, old chap; don't you go worrying about things; everything is going to turn out all right, old fellow." There is cause for a little speculation in what must have been the mental attitude of the nobles and dignitaries clustered round as they observed the familiarity. But what the king thought of it is best expressed by the fact that before the next garden party he and the queen together sent a special letter to Will Crooks and his wife, saying how much they wanted them to be present—Frank Dilmat in the Outlook. Poet's Tie Shop "Ad." A poet in whose breast the cares of a collar and the shop in Asakusa cannot stifle the Parnassian urge has written the following sign and placed it over his master's shop to cheer the passerby: "Those who belong to our company are always endeavoring to express their delicate mood and individuality through the goods they are dealing in, from the point of view of making all existence best and most beautiful first of all and then let themselves upward from earth to paradise that is to say the eternal peace—the ideal—under the elapse of time." What it means would be difficult to say. While it draws attention to the admirable qualities of the collars and ties and garters, it also seems to indicate a little weariness with Asakusa considered as a stepping stone towards "the eternal peace under the elapse of time."

As State Missionary of Women's auxiliary, I am thankful that God has spared our lives to str on another year. Let us as women do more this year for the cause of Christ, than we did last year. Sisters, do you not stop and think? Oh yes, women were the first to behold the forsaken grave as Christ arose out of the tomb. If Jesus when on earth loved Mary and Martha so tenderly and sought often peace and repose in their home enjoying daily their sympathy, love and companionship? Does He not now desire and seek the Mary's of today who break their alabaster boxes of love and pour the precious ointment on the heads of the sick and sorrowing and suffering of the earth, and thereby fill the entire world with the fragrance of christianity? Christian women, let us go, and as we go, let us cry One Lord, One Faith, and One Baptism. God bless the work, E. M. LONG, State Missionary 519 E. Howard St., Centralia, Ill.

A certain Red Cross public health nurse, in New Hampshire, reports that the interest in the Red Cross course of instruction in "Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick" in her county is unprecedented. This nurse travels over a considerable area, the county being a large one, including eight towns. It is the consensus of opinion at the New England division headquarters that in this county, at least, the future of the American Red Cross is assured because of the great service performed through these classes. New England still lives up to her tradition of recognizing and sponsoring the best that education can give.—Red Cross Magazine. Financial Diagnosis. "Did the doctor know what you had?"
