The Muskogee Cimeter. Vol. 16 FIRE CAPTAIN'S STATEMENT. THE BATTLE OF THE BAY OF BAY ROMAN CHEMICAL CO.: DEAR SIRS: Having taken your medicine with such good results, I wish to inform you what effect it had upon me. Several years ago my physicians treated me for indigestion and liver trouble, and was later told by them that an operation would be necessary. I took all kinds of medicines, with no results. Two weeks ago my condition was such that I was forced to allow the physicians to hold a consultation, at which the consensus of opinion was that an operation would be the only relief for me. My mind was made up to have same performed, and had decided to go to an infirmary, but a friend heard of my intentions and advised me not to go to the expense, trouble and probably the loss of my life, when a cure could be effected by the use of your Remedy. I took a bottle which swept a greenish mass from my system, including a number of genuine gall stones. Thank heaven, I took my friend's advice about your wonderful Stomach and Liver Preparation. Symptoms in my case were clouded brain, coated tongue, sluggish on rising in the morning, had gas on my stomach, and oftentimes had pains in my side and back. I write this hoping it may reach some person who is suffering from stomach and liver trouble. Am employed by the Nushville Fire Department and will always recommend your medicine. CAPT. F. M. HITE.

Funeral Held Wednesday—A Remarkable Tribute Paid to Booker T. Washington's Memory—Business District Closed for Funeral. Roosevelt is Shocked at News of Death. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Nov. 14.—Col. Theodore Roosevelt made the following statement tonight on the death of Booker T. Washington: "I am deeply shocked and grieved at the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington. He was one of the distinguished citizens of the United States, Muskogee, Oklahmoa December, 4 1915 a man who rendered greater service to his own race than had been rendered by any one else, and who in so doing also rendered great service to the whole country. I mourn his loss and feel that one of the most useful citizens of our land has gone." Tuskegee, Ala., Nov. 14.—Booker T. Washington, foremost teacher and leader of the Negro, died early today at his home near the Tuskegee Institute, of which he was founder and president. Hardening of the arteries following a nervous breakdown, caused death four hours after Washington arrived from New York. Although he had been in failing health for several months, the Negro leader's condition became serious only last week while he was in the East. He then realized the end was near, but was determined to make the last long trip South. He had often said: "I was born in the South, have lived all my life in the South and expect to die and be buried in the South." Accompanied by his wife, his secretary and a physician, Dr. Washington left New York for Tuskegee at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon. He reached home last midnight and died at 4:40 o'clock this morning. His last public appearance was at the National Conference of Congregational Churches in New York, where he delivered a lecture October 25. A widow, three children and four grandchillidren survive. John H. Washington, a brother, is superintendent of industries at Tuskegee Institute. The funeral was at Tuskegee Institute Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. Dr. Washington was born in slavery near Hale's Ford, Va., in 1857 or 1858. After the emancipation of his race he moved with his family to West Virginia. He entered Gen. Armstrong's School for Negroes at Hampton and worked his way through an academic course, graduating in 1875. Later he became a teacher in the Hampton Institute, where he remained until 1881, when he organized the Industrial School for Negroes at Tuskegee, to which he devoted most of his attention during the remaining years of his life. The institute started in a rented shantq and diplapidated church and today it owns 3,500 acres of land in Alabama and has nearly 100 buildings valued at $500,000. An honorary degree of master of arts was conferred upon Washington by Harvard University in 1896, and in 1901 he was given an honorary degree of doctor of laws by Dartmouth College. An incident in Washington's career made him the center of a nationwide discussion during the administration of President Roosevelt. He sat down to lunch with the president at the White House, either by formal or informal invitation. There was a storm of protest from many quarters and some hostility was shown toward the Negro educator afterward. Tuskegee, Ala., Nov. 17.—Never in the history of the Nation has such a tribute been paid to a Negro as was paid today to Booker T. Washington by the people, white and black, of the South. Only once in the memory of the South has today's demonstration been equaled. That was more than twenty years ago when the whole Southland paused to pay tribute to Henry W. Grady. At Grady's bier the whole South gathered to pay its respects to one who had helped the white man. At Washington's bier today, white and black from all parts of the South gathered to pay tribute to the man who by helping the Negro had also helped the white man as well. At Grady's funeral there was military pomp and all that it involves. At Washington's there was the Negro and his mule. The Negro and his oxcart claiming, and having his claim allowed, the privilege of paying tribute to his leader and his friend. The Negro in the motor car was here, too, but he was not so numerous as he with the mule. All were men who work. Some of them in a small way on smaller farms, some of whom, such as Charles H. Anderson of Jacksonville, have amassed competence in banking, one Dr. S. E. Courtney, Washington's first pupil, who has prospered in his profession in Boston. The silk hatted Negro, the type better known for aversion to work, alone was absent. The old South was here, too, men such as Charles W. Hare, owner of half a dozen plantations, scion of a race of slave-holders and a friend of Washington when Washington needed friends. So, too, were those of reconstruction days, as represented by P. B. S. Pinchback, lieutenant governor of Louisiana in "carpet bag" days, who rubbed elbows with a man in a faded Confederate uniform and shook hands with others whom he frankly said would have gladly hanged him had suitable opportunity offered not so very long ago. But Pinchback and the deeds or misdeeds of his kind today were forgotten. The old town of Tuskegee itself gave perhaps the most striking demonstration of the feeling of the white South. Tuskegee is a town of ol dfamilies, of wealthy folk with all the pride of name and long established social position. Business they abandoned for the day, the court adjourned, and for once there was neither sign nor trace of color line. Through it all ran one note—simplicity. MEMORIAL SERVICES OF DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Negro Business Houses Suspend and Churches, Schools and Business Houses Draped in Mourning. At Convention Hall, Wednesday, Nov. 17, Under Auspices of Manual Training High School, Prof. C. B. Bryant, Principal and Master of Ceremonies. Fully 3,000 persons, white and black, crowded Convention Hall last Wednesday at 2 p. m., to witness the program rendered to the memory of the most illustrious and useful man of the age. Scripture reading by Rev. J. W. Curry Remarks by Principal Bryant. Music by the M. T. H. S. chorus. After an appropriate suartette by Mesdames Gentry, Pickens, Stewart and Miss Caleman, Rev. G. W. McClendon led in prayer. "Face to Face" was sung by Mrs. Morgan. A sketch of the life of Dr. Washington was read by Mrs. N. E. King. W. G. Johnson, a Tuskegee graduate, sang "Jesus Lover of My Soul" and Prof. A. C. Perdue, present instructor at M. T. H. S. and a former instructor at Tuskegee, read a most interesting paper concerning Mr. Washington as principal of Tuskegee. Mr. T. J. Elliott, President of the State Negro Business League and member of the Executive Committee of the National Business League, read a well prepared paper upon the "Business Life of Mr. Washington." Vocal Solo by Miss Hattie Earnest. Supt. E. S. Monroe of the Public Schools of Muskogee, spoke in glow- No. 32 ing terms of Mr. Washington as an educator. Rev. Dr. Robt. Van Meigs, of the First Baptist Church (white), delivered a forcible address upon Mr. Washington as an American citizen and his usefulness to the white race. Prof. G. H. Ambrose sang "Calvary" and a most fitting eulogy was delivered by Dr. E. Arlington Wilson. Music by the Tuskegee students, after which Mrs. L. C. Clark led the vast audience in the melody, "Steal Away to Jesus." Benediction by Rev. A. C. Roker. The vast throng dispersed and it was the verdict of all that never a service in the history of Muskogee was more impressive and as largely attended with all the people in one accord and all hearts centrally dedicated to one cause.
