THE PITTSBURGH COURIER DEATH OF A NOTED COLORED COMPOSER CIRCULATION BOOKS ARE OPEN TO ADVERTISERS VOL. III. NO. 40. DEATH OF A COLORED Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Passed Away in London—Wrote Noted Pieces of Music. HE STUDIED UNDER STANFORD London. — Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the Negro music composer who died recently, was the most important of Negro composers and one of the best known of modern composers. He was born in London, Aug. 15, 1875, the son of a doctor of medicine, a native of Sierra Leone, and an English mother. He studied the violin with J. Beckwith of Croydon and joined the choir of St. George's, Croydon, at the age of ten as an alto singer. In 1890 he entered the Royal College of Music as a student of the violin, studied composition with Sir Villiers Stanford and gained a composition scholarship in 1893. From that time his name has been prominently before the public, at first through the performance of early chamber compositions at the Royal college students' concerts, such as a nonet and a symphony, the latter given in St. James' hall in 1896 under Stanford's direction. A quintet for clarinet and strings in F sharp minor, played at the Royal THE LATE SAMUEL COLERIDGE-TAYLOR college in 1855, was later performed in Berlin by the Joachim quartet. A string quartet in 18 minor dates from 1856. It was in 1858 that the first part of his Hiawatha triology, "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast," was produced at the Royal college. His fame in America rests mostly on this choral work. The second part, "The Death of Minneapolis," was brought out at the North Staffordshire festival in the autumn of 1890 and the third, "Hiawatha's Departure," by the Royal Choral society at the Albert hall on March 22, 1890. In the following May the overreaction to the whole was heard for the first time. The work, especially the 1891 part, made a great and lasting success, such as has not been riveted by any other composition from Colorado Tay's pro. As a matter of course, he received many festival concerts after it, in clading "The Girl of Castel Quille," for Leeds in 1901; "Meg Blane," Studied by Ung, and "Kelda Khan," Handel society, 1896. Conductor of Leiden Hancel Society. He wrote a musical music for many of the plays which Sir Herbert Beerbohman Tree produced at His Majesty's theater. This included compilations to the dramas "Hoold," "Glysses," "Nero," and "Frost," by Stephen Phillips. In 1896 he became conductor of the Leiden Hancel society. He visited this country two seasons ago to conduct one of his works at the Litchfield country festival. This summer he wrote two pieces especially for this festival, one of them a violin concert, which was performed for the first time there in Mine, Mand Powell. He had written a quantity of music for the violin and piano, several songs and a choir. A SONG TO AFRIC'S GREAT Give me a birth of praise; For now only till late; A song to raise the nations, A song to Africa's great; With nobly to praise, The miracle of the sea; To a kingdom of the seas, Our land and sea. With grace from the masses, To sing a stirring song; To tell the world our virtues And lift above the wrong; A balm to sooth the sorrows, Twould drive away all tears; To live through out the ages, Like music of the spheres. The birds that sing so sweetly In ponder greenwood tree; With joyful notes of gladness, Would list awhile to me. In that hymn, full of praises From early morn till late, That song to rouse the nations, That song to Africa's great. —Amilia Edmonia Martin in Colored American Magazine. SUESCRIBE FOR THE COURRIER. Why reading the Courrier. COLORED FARMERS ARE AIDED BY GOVERNMENT Agricultural Department Gives Demonstrations in Raising Corn and Other Crops. The department of agriculture has in the city of Washington 164 colored employees, with an aggregate compensation of $98,865.5. Outside of Washington the department has 162 colored employees, with a total compensation of $53,217.50. This is a total of 266 colored employees in the department of agriculture, with a total compensation of $123,064.4. In connection with the farmers' cooperative demonstration work in the south the bureau of plant industry of the department of agriculture employs a number of colored agents, who are doing very successful and efficient work. There are now fifteen regular agents employed in connection with this work, who are paid salaries ranging from $25 to $50 per month. These agents are carrying on regular farm demonstrations with farmers in the communities where they are employed, conducting demonstrations in the raising of cotton, corn and other crops and generally fostering and encouraging better farming and better living on the part of the Afro-American farmers. Closely identified with the work of the department is that conducted through the aid of funds secured from the general education board. Twenty-one agents are employed in this work at salaries ranging from $25 to $100 per month. This work is practically an extension of the government work in localities where the government agents are not employed. All the agents paid from the general education board fund are appointed as collaborators of the department of agriculture. The following is a list of the names and locations of some of the agents and collaborators: J. Russell Ouncil, Boley, Okla.; A. W. Beck, Mound Bayon, Miss.; M. A. Jones, Indianola, Miss.; T. M. Campbell, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; J. B. McHerson, Wedowee, Ala.; C. D. Menafee, Opelika, Ala.; T. J. Murray, Fort Dayss, Ala.; G. W. Patterson, Huntsville, Ala.; Harry Simms, Snow Hill, Ala.; W. A. Tate, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; C. F. Robinson, Tallahassee, Fla.; J. A. Booker, Fort Valley, Ga.; P. D. Johnson, Corvington, Ga.; Ralph Ames, Meto, Ark.; Clifford Dove, Tuskegee Institute, Ala. There are also a number of other collaborators who are paid nominal salaries in order to give them official connection with the department collaborators: J. A. Bates, Orangeburg, S. C.; J. E. Blanton, Frogmore, S. C.; J. H. Goodwin, Weston, S. C.; E. D. Jenkins, Deumark, S. C.; C. W. Jones, Greenville, S. C.; S. C. H. Murphy, Camden, S. C.; R. W. Westbury, Sumter, S. C.; N. A.

Young, Upper Zion, Va. E. W. GREEN IS ONE OF MISSISSIPPI'S RICH MEN He Owns 1000 Acres of Land Eighty Head of Stock and Employs 70 Persons. One of the largest taxijayers among the colored people of Fayette, Jefferson county, Miss., is E. W. Green. He began his career as a hired man at $10 per month. By industry and efficiency, Mr. Green increased his earnings to $100 and at the end of ten years he had saved enough to go into the farming business for himself. Mr. Green was worth 1,000 acres of land, eighty load of stock, employees, only persons on his farm and is rated at $9,000. He own a magnificent dwelling house, upon which he carries $13,000 worth of insurance. He also carries $1,000 worth of insurance on his life. Of his possessions when he married, Mr. Green says: "My wedding clothes cost $12, including a pair of socks for which I gave $1.50. I had another suit which cost $10. My wife and I lived in a hired house until we were able to buy a little cabin of our own." This man, who was left an orphan at an early age, is now one of the largest farmers in his section of the country. Mr. Green's crop of corn this year will net $5,000 bushels and his cotton will turn out at least forty bales. Mr. Green is only forty-eight years of age. PITTSBURGH PA., SEPTEMBER 20, 1912. National Organization Arranges Event of Nation-Wide Interest for Sunday, September 22. Washington.-The National Emancipation Commemorative society has completed arrangements for celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation by Lincoln as of Sept. 22, 1862. The formal exercises opening the four days' celebration will be held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 22. The jubilee is to consist of a series of events covering many matters of interest to our people. The program is arranged so as to have a kind of jubilee prelude to consist of a sermon or brief address by the pastor or some selected speaker at the Sunday morning service in each of the city churches on the opening day. The musical program as arranged by Professor John T. Layton will be a special feature. It will exemplify the musical accomplishments of the race from the darkest antebellum days down to the present time. The first of the noted speakers who will take part in the program will be the Rev. Dr. Stephen Morrill Newman, the new president or Howard university. This will be Dr. Newman's first public appearance since becoming head of the institution. The second day of the jubilee, after registration of accredited delegates and disposition of various routine organization matters, will take the form of a general sociological congress, the first formal evening session of the celebration being held under its auspices. At this conference the main subject for discussion will be "A Permanent Congress of Colored Americans—A Racial Necessity." The principal addresses will be delivered by D. Webster Davis of Richmond and Dr. Philander P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education. Other speakers will include James D. Carr, J. Frank Wheaton, Bishop Alexander Walters of New York, W. Justin Carter of Harrisburg, Rev. W. W. Matthews, Professor R. R. Wright and J. H. A. Brazleton of Oklahoma City. A part of the work of the sociological congress will be the perfecting of plans for the organization of a permanent congress of colored Americans to be composed of delegates elected by the colored people to meet annually in Washington. This proposition will be fully discussed by the sociological conference on Monday, Sept. 23. Tuesday, Sept. 24, will be devoted to the day and evening sessions of the national congress of colored educators, composed of delegates appointed by the governors of the several states and the commissioners of the District of Columbia for the express purpose of attending this educational conference. These delegates, though chosen for the most part by the several governors from persons actually engaged in educational work, include nevertheless lawyers, physicians, ministers, editors, business men and other public spirted thinking men and women of the Negro race from all parts of the country. As evidence in this connection the publicity committee of the society quotes the following from the letter of the governor of one of the western states: "We have no colored people engaged in educational work in this state, but the five names I send are names of colored citizens who are helping to upbuild and maintain the civilization of this commonwealth. They are the peers of any persons to be found in this state, and I am pleased to be able to name them as representatives to this conference." The conference is not a teachers association for discussing the purely scientific side of educational work. It is rather an assemblage of persons representing all classes and every line of effort among the colored people who have the welfare of the whole race at heart and who believe that one of the most potent agencies for the promotion of that welfare is the proper education of all the members of the race for the duties of industrial, religious, civic and social life. With its delegates from almost every state in the Union, including New Mexico, California and Oregon, the educational conference promises to be the first gathering truly national in its scope that ever sat anywhere in this country for the express purpose, so of considering ways and means of promoting the general welfare of the race. The speakers at the educational congress include Kelly Miller, Roscoe Cooking Bruce and Dr. Luey E. Motton of Washington, Mason A. Hawkins of Baltimore, E. L. Blackshear of Texas, James B. Dudley of North Carolina, W. S. Searbrough of Ohio, and Irma Page of Oklahoma. On Wednesday, Sept. 25, will take place the day and evening sessions of the women's congress. Mrs. Mary Church Turnell of Washington, a speaker of national reputation, will preside. He Was Born on a Farm at Lincolnla, Va., in 1888—Good As Scholar and Athlete. Jackson. Miss.-Born on a farm in Virginia, working his way through the public schools of his native county, the Washington colored high school and Amherst college is part of the brief career of John R. Pinkett, a teacher of languages in Jackson college, a school supported by the Baptist Home Mission society. Mr. Pinkett was born at Lincolnia, Va., Sept. 27, 1888. He attended the public schools of the village until he was eleven years of age, when he entered the seventh grade of the Garnett school. He continued in the public schools until he reached the third year of the high school, when he accepted a position as helper in the Washington navy yard. He resigned this position sixteen months later to re-enter the high school, graduating in June, 1907. The fall of the same year he entered Amherst college, having won a scholarship, which he held during his four JOHN R. PINKETT. years there. Being a good athlete he made the freshman football team. For the next three years he played center and halfback. He was a member of the All-New England team during 1910 and 1911 and won the football "A." While in college he specialized in Greek and mathematics, and was one of the committee on commencement, when he received the degree of bachelor or arts in 1901. The summer he finished the Washington high school he worked in the department of agriculture. The next years he was a lifeguard and swimming instructor at Washington bathing beach, and the following two years directed the Cardozo playground. He also pursued courses of instruction at the Y. M. C. A. camps at Arundel-on-the-Bay, Md., and Kings Mountain, N. C. During his residence here he has made many friends, and has taken a deep interest in athletics. He has declined a number of flattering offers to teach in other colleges or enter Y. M. C. A. work. THE CONSTITUTION AND CITIZENSHIP The next great war will be fought for the enfranchisement of the disfranchised coloral citizens of the south who are still denied the right of suffrage, as guaranteed to all citizens of the United States by the national constitution. To lay claim to state rights in the matter of regulating the suffrage is simply begging the question. The constitution does not disfranchise a single citizen, native born or naturalized. Let us hope, however, that it will be a war of legal sanctions which will cause to be enforced the constitutional rights of all citizens regardless of race or previous condition of servitude. SHOWS BACKBONE The Loft Curley Bldg. convention showed back home and race pride at its annual minging in Portsmouth, Va. in August. It appointed a committee to confer with the oil fields of southern railroads with reference to searing better accommodations for colored people who patronize them as pet-sensers. The fimi row car service is a disgrace to Christian American civilization and for the good of humanity ought to be brought to a speedy end. GUPID WILLIAMS DEAD Cuffed Williams, whose death occurred at his late home in Flushing, N. Y. recently, left a fortune estimated at $200,000. Mr. Williams was one of the best known colored men of the town. He was fifty-nine years of age. Deceased Was 74 Years Old Owned Large Amount of Valuable Real Estate. Memphis, Tenn.—Robert R. Church, Sr., one of the wealthiest citizens in Memphis and considered the wealthiest Negro in the South, died Thursday August 29, at his late residence. The deceased, who was 74 years old had been ill eighteen months. The Mephis Commercial Appeal gives the following account of Mr. Church's carer: "The singular circumstances of a Negro, born a slave, rising from cabin boy on a Mississippi river steamboat to the mastery of a fortune estimated at a million dollars made him a conspicuous character, and the news of his death was received all over the city with expressions of interest and surprise. Conservative estimates are that he left between 200 and 200 houses in various parts of Memphis. The bulk of them are in the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards. "According to one in authority, his monthly income from his rentals amounted to $6,000 alone. He owned a subdivision of 135 acres on the Raleigh car line east of Memphis and was founder and first president of the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company, the first Negro financial institution of the city. Church's Park on Beale avenue is also his property. The deceased is survived by a widow, Mrs. Annie Church, two sons, Thomas A. Church, who holds a clerkship with the New York City government, and Robert R. Church, Jr. who is now president of the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company of this city; Miss Arnette and Mrs. Mary Church-Terrell of Washington, D. B. M. C. CONVENTION OF THE G. U. O. OF O. F.

COLORED PEOPLE OWN VALUABLE PROPERTY A Large Number of Officials, Clerks and Police—Total of 2,413 Employed. The government of the District of Columbia is under three commissioners appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the senate. In the District of Columbia the Afro-American population is approximately one-third of the total population. The total number of Afro-Americans in the employ of the government of the District of Columbia is 2,413, and their aggregate annual salaries amount to $1,479,000.

FACTS AND FIGURES SHOW ADVANCEMENT Great Progress of Colored People in Business—Outlook Is Bright and Inspiring. The colored man in business has been making unusual progress. In 1911 the Afro-Americans engaged in farming, merchandising, real estate, manufacturing, lumbering, insurance, printing and publishing, engineering and banking contributed over $700,000,000 to the wealth of the nation. It has been aptly said that "the race creates admirably; it gets left in the distribution." The problem of the race in business is this: How to make the raw material produced by it not the end of effort, but the basis of individual activity. Through persistence, initiative and co-operation thousands of Afro-Americans in all parts of the United States have developed small business ventures into substantial business enterprises. They have saved and invested money carefully; they have put into their everyday business life the wise suggestions given them by Dr. Washington and other men who are seriously interested in the race's welfare Today the outlook for colored men in business is not only bright but actually inspiring. Many of them are quietly getting a firm hold on the essentials of success in business—the buying of homes, the extension of business, the opening of factories, the establishment of banks and the better appreciation of commercial pursuits. If men of other races can establish and operate sawmills, coal mines, brickyards, limkeilins and other enterprises so as to secure wealth and happiness there is no reason why Afro-Americans should not engage in similar work and succeed. They have the knowledge, the physical strength and ambition to benefit largely from the natural resources of the country, and there are numerous instances in which they are doing so. THE PAPER THAT REACHES THE HOME FIVE CENTS A COPY Statistics Covering the State of Pennsylvania—Number of Owners Is 3,373. THE VALUATION IS $9,420,195 Harrisburg—According to the latest report of the bureau of industrial statistics for the state of Pennsylvania, the number of Afro-Americans owning property in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and 105 cities and towns in the state is as follows: Philadelphia, 1,080, with an assessed valuation of $2,801,275. The market value of these holdings is put at $3,735,000. In Pittsburgh the number of Afro-American property owners is 643, with an assessed and market valuation of $1,437,000 and $2,153,830 respectively. In eighty-seven towns and cities the number of property owners is 1,072 and the assessed and market value of their property is $1,851,217 and $2,316,805. In the remaining eighteen towns the record shows 578 owners of property, with a total assessed and market valuation of $1,214,500. The grand total is as follows: Number of property owners, 3,373; valuation, $9,420,195. A great deal of the property of Negroes is in churches. Among the various influences which the church has had has been the encouragement of cooperative buying of church properties. Many Negroes learned for the first time what a deed meant or a builder's contract or a mortgage, etc., from his participation in church buying and building. The census department reported in 1906 that Negroes owned about $88,000,000 worth of church property in the United States. Of this fully $50,000,000 worth was unencumbered. As will be seen, Pennsylvania Negroes own more than their share, which is due largely to the fact that in this state Negro churches took root very early and have always been encouraged as one of the industrial factors for the better development of the race. There are about 150 Baptist churches in the state of Pennsylvania, but only seventy-three of them reported their value, which was put at $85,250, an average of about $17,850 each. These of course, were the best properties. The balance of about 100 churches includes about fifty which are more or less temporary and own but little property. Other churches are the A. U. M. P. the Church of God, Congregational C. M. E. church, and several independent churches who own property valued at about $100,000. This would make the total amount of church property owned by Negroes approximately, as follows: Baptists, $885,230; A. M. E., 1,067,213; A. M. E. Zlon, $567,824; Methodist (north), $250,000; Presbyterian, $190,000; Episcopalian, $100,000; other denominations, $100,000. Total value of church property, $3,100,267. By the above it is seen that in the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh the assessed value of property, exclusive of churches, is $4,238,325; that in eighty-seven other cities and towns the assessed value of 1,072 properties is $1,251,217, making a total of $5,582,552, having a market value of $29,053,683. To this market value must be added the estimated holdings of Negroes in eighteen other cities and towns with a market value of $1,214,500 and $3,160,200, the value of church property making a total of $12,580,435 as the value holdings of Negroes in this state. If we consider the difficulty of obtaining data, and scan carefully the list of places reported, we must conclude that this estimate is possible 25 per cent under the real holdings of Negroes in the state. It is estimated that they own property, the most conservative estimate of whose value is $15,000,000 to $20,000,000. Everybody is Doing It. Why reading the Pittsburgh Courier. (By Georgia Williams.)

The earlier gust of anger, the spirit of revenge, bad left him, but it had merely changed {nto a dogged resolu- tion to discover the perpetrators of this outrage and bring them to justice for the crime.

Most travelers who visit the: Holy Land rontent themselves with a visit to that restricted part west, of Jordan. The mountsinous regions of Moab, as seen by them from Jerusalem, are lost in the purple haze that constantly hangs over them, and the great stretches beyond are covered in mys tery. This ts true partly because of the fewer historical incidents connects ed with the eastern regions, but main- ly on account of the great abyns of the Jordan valley that has always act- ed as a barrier. Few who descend inte the valley, 1,300 feet below sea level, undertake to climb the hills beyond, which rise to a helght of 3,000 feet. The most striking thing about Moab has always been its isolation. How- ever much connected by race and vie cinity with thetr western kingmen, tp dwellers in Eastern Palestine, have al ways beet distinct and their lands have never been occupied by the mm tions on the west except through acts of exgtession and conqnest. # Even today this isolation fs still felt In giving an idea of their knowledge of present dgy geography, one of them re- marked: “roars ate oaly fons ups te the world, two of which are the; sea and the Sea of Galilee.” Rath of these are in alght af thelr own hilla— Christian Herald. ikecediane: ta Gtmate: « The working parts of the modera fying machine are infinitely fewer in number than ‘those of the a the Soir boat the aad ill tive or the steamship, Far more Flex is the operation of a high-powered motor car than that of a high-powered aeroplane.

HOW MANY WILL VOTE The second registration day has passed, and October 5 is the third and last, and yet many of our people have not registered, and are therefore not prepared to take part in one of the most strenuous political battles waged for many years. The importance of the ballot has never been felt as it will be in the coming election in November. The Negro will play a very unique and important role this year. Just where he stands in this three cornered fight is puzzling to the politicians whose business it is to sound the situation and report to headquarters. But as important will be the role played by the Negro, the opportunity remains open for him to repeat his errors of former years and cast his ballot to the winds. We hear much of the proposals of each party in the event of their success at the polls. This is not news to us who have been feeding at the crib of promise for forty years. The promises are of little value to us. What we want is some evidence of good faith on the part of the promise. Regardless of the party in power, our complaint remains the same. We feel the same heavy hand upon us under the Democratic administration as we do under the Republican. Our aim, if an aim we have, is to secure a lasting relief from the oppression; and the Negro knows that he will never secure this relief while he votes a listless, disorganized ballet. If we have not registered, let us take notice of the one remaining opportunity, size: October 5, and, see to it that we qualify for the coming election when every true citizen should vote his honest convictions, as he sees them undef the light we have. THE EPIDEMIC. Judging from the reports now in circulation, our city is being visited by the smallpox epidemic, and with alarming results. Since every citizen is in a measure responsible for the sanitary condition of his community, it seems in place that we should warn our readers of our duty under present circumstances. While the majority of cases reported are among the whites, and in fact only two to date reported among our own, we are just as much exposed as any one else, and should use as much care to protect our home and families. A general vaccination has been ordered by the physicians, and this order should be heeded, lest the carelessness of some one increase the present danger. Perhaps the unpleasant experience of a former vaccination causes hesitation on the part of many. This is natural, but the welfare of the community demands that every one exercise his or her share of vigilance against the spread of the dreaded epidemic. If you have not decided to call in your physician, we suggest that the safety of the community demands that you do so at the earliest possible moment. Bishop Shaffer will soon hold his first conference in this his new field of endeavor. The occasion calls for some activity and sacrifice on the part of the people of this community. Delegates and ministers from various churches will be with us, and ours is the duty to assist in making their stay pleasant and comfortable. Then, too, the Bishop has already shown us that he is the right man in the right vineyard, and he deserves an unstinted support. The church of God is our highest institution, and the servants called to labor, in that institution should be surrounded with wholesome environment while they give their best to the Lord and the people. Let us make some sacrifice for this conference. Let us forget denominational lines and prove ourselves worthy of our profession of faith. IN OHIO. In the recent Ohio election the proposition to eliminate from the constitution the word 'white' was defeated by a small majority, and the white papers are busy explaining why the proposition failed. We read the following in a Youngstown journal: This large adverse vote, however, will be valuable to the Negro race if they accept it in the right spirit. Their race has made wonderful progress in its half-century of freedom. They might have done better if they had been emancipated from the civil influences of corrupt politics, but that is only opinion. The fact is they have the suffrage. They will retain it for an indefinite period, notwithstanding this adverse vote. But it is up to them to work out their own progress and development, irrespective of the suffrage, to prove their ability to grow along lines of honest citizenship and to demonstrate their capability as a race. Thousands of individuals have done this and are doing it. This adverse vote should not act as a discouragement but as a spur to higher ideals and nobler achievement. That is the only answer the Negro can make to it, and in time we believe he will make it. "Another Negro promoted in the United States service." If we could hold off the election for about another year, we might find an opening for a goodly number of black men. Funny how necessity makes a man perform, even for a Negro.

PASSED AN UNQUIET NIGHT Traveler, Lost in the Bush, Was Glad to Do Without the Blessings of Alumber. But I had never given a thought to the course I had taken in my gallop across the veldt. I kept on and on, and before long it grew dark and somewhat cold. So I dismounted, and after thinking it over, I drove-haltered the horse and let him go, creep head first into a large ant-bear hole for a night's lodging, and made myself as comfortable as possible under the circumstances, using the bleebok hide for a blanket. The night was dark as pitch. Band 50c,Band & Feather 98c THE GREATEST BARGAINS OF THE SEASON Sleep was out of question. I suppose it was it the haunches and the raw hide that attracted the creatures, but before long it really seemed as if I had settled down in a village of wild pigs and insulted the whole community. To begin with, squealing incessantly, they seemed to be racing round and round in a circle, taking me for its center. Then a number of jackals drawing nearer and nearer, joined in the chorus. But I soon discovered that if I disliked the noise I fairly dreaded the silence. During the quiet spells I knew that something was chewing industriously at the projecting ends of the raw hide in which I was enveloped. It was hard work for me to keep from kicking incessantly, but whenever I rested for a minute the chewing developed into vigorous tugs, the significance of which it was easy for one in my position to appreciate. However, I kicked the night through in safety, and early in the morning, to my delight, I found my horse a short distance away, nibbling contentedly at his breakfast - Atlantic Monthly. INAUGURATION OF IRON AGE Authorities Differ as to the Time and Place of Its First Introduction to the World. Some authorities incline to the view that the iron age was inaugurated in Asia or in Africa. The investigations of recent years have pointed to the conclusion that /it was not worked in Egypt until the ninth century before Christ, or in Libya until 450 B. C.; that the Semite adopted its use still later, and that it has been known in Uganda only within the last five or six centuries. There are Chinese records of date about four centuries before Christ that mention iron. Bronze weapons were employed in China until about 700 A. D. It is thought that the metallurgy of iron must have originated in Central Europe, especially in Noricum, which approximately represented modern Austria and Bavaria. Only at Hallstett and in Bosnia and Transylvania, from which countries the Achalans and Dorians are supposed to have migrated to Hellas, are found evidences of a gradual introduction of iron, at first as an ornament applied to the bronze which it ultimately replaced. Everywhere else iron was introduced in no gradual fashion, a fact that implies a foreign origin. Meteoric iron was known in Egypt in remote antiquity, but no doubt it was worked as flints are worked, by cutting or chipping, and was not smelted. In other words, it was the metallurgy, not-the knowledge of iron, that originated in Central Europe. Little Margie was a frequent visitor at the Jones home, going there on arrands of borrowing many times each day. On this occasion she asked the loan of a cooking utensil. But Mrs. Jones had become very much out of patience at the continual borrowing and sent word by Margie that she "had other fish to fry." Imagine her surprise when in a few moments her neighbor's little Margie again appeared in her doorway, keeping: "Mommer field plumbe to thoud theme of the fish, plumbe." --- FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1912 ```markdown ``` Other stores ask $1.98 and $2.98 for these popular hats—get one here tomorrow and save the difference.

Pens for writing purposes are being manufactured today in Germany by a process which is exciting some curiosity. The trouble found with steel pens is that they oxidize easily and the ink sticks to them. This fault is not to be found with gold pens; but, on the other hand, these are too flexible to be entirely satisfactory. Moreover, in order to form a point suitable for writing purposes, the material of that part of the pen has to be mixed with some hard metal like iridium and this operation is both complicated and expensive. This new pen is of tanakum and comes to the manufacturer in the form of a black powder. The pen that is made from this has the temacity of steel and the fusibility of gold-Harper's Weekly.

HERTZ THE REAL DISCOVERER Marconi Made Practical Success of the Wireless, but Was Not First In the Field: ‘The principle of wireless telegraphy is easiiy comprehended. As is known light and heat move in waves whose lengths can be measured. Thus, the sun gives out in every direction light in a series of undulating waves which may not only be measured, but can Be deflected, polarized, and so on, e idea of this may be gained from the, we!l-known fact that when a stone is thrown imo a smooth pool of wa- ter a series of circular waves extends in alt directions. If any foating ob- ject comes within these waves they are oxcitlated. It was the Jamented Prof. Hertz who ciscovered that eiectricity, like light and beat, also moves in waves which may be measured, Just precise- ly how these waves pass through the atmosphere is not wholly understood, but it is believed that they have some relation to e:her, which is omnipres- ent and which ig believed to constitute all matier under different negative electrical conditions. In wireless tel- egrapby a series of Herizian waves are get up by powerful eieciricak dyna- mos cor batteries, ard these are dis- charged from the lop. of a high mast or poke These waves extend in all directiuns, and, unless their force it expended by distance they excite cer- tain effects in the receiver of wireless xelegraph instruments within the zone, just ag the waves disturb chips bn a pool. Messages are sent and recefved somewhat cn the plan of ordinary Morse code by Wires, In that electrical impulses are regulated so as to spell Words according to 2 code. To Marconi belongs the credit of making a practicalysuccess of the dis- coveries of others, but to Hertz be longs the credit of making the ays- tem jossible. Already Accomplished.

D., Pastor). The services last Sunday were interesting throughout the day. The pastor preached morning and evening, both seminary were full of life and Mr. Rev. Dr. Holder and family have just returned from India and, our pastor seems much improved from his trip. While there they visited the General Association which met in Marion, Ind. Dr. Holder was vice president. To this body Dr. Holder brought greetings from the Allegheny Baptist General Association. They allowed ample time to speak of the great work being carried on in the old Keystone state. At which Mrs. J. H. Holder spoke briefly of the good work carried on among the women of our state by request she gave pleasure with a solo. The Holder preached in some of the churches in Indianapolis and filled his old charge in Columbia, where he and Mrs. Holder regularly to a reception by the Second Baptist church, church and friends.

Church Quite an appreciative audience was present Sunday morning and listened to the sermon delivered by our able pastor, Rev. C. Y, Trig. After the preaching services a solo was very rendered by Rev. Dickson, a student at Howard University, Washington, D. C. We were glad to welcome and have in our midst the boys from the Coleman Home and Industrial School. We had quite a large number out at Sunday school and the work discussed at the recent Sunday school convention at Wheeling was brought up and commented on. All the officers and teachers of the Sunday school, together with the pastor, are to meet on Wednesday evening at the home of the superintendent and commence our teachers' training class, and make an attempt to properly grade our school. Epworth League is held every Sunday evening at 10:00 o'clock and we urge upon the members to please come out on time and get down to hard work once more, and especially the members of the choir who have become dilatory since the summer vacation, and have been neglecting their duty.

METHODIST PLEACHERS' The fall and winter session of the Methodist Ministers conference, opened on Monday morning, September 9, in Babel A. M. E. church, with the new president, Dr. D. S. Bentley, presiding. There were a large number of ministers in attendance, and after the usual preliminaries Dr. Bentley delivered a most instructive address on "The Duties of a Pastor." This was a rare treat to the ministers, and was greatly enjoyed by all present. At the second meeting Monday, the 16th. Dr. W. L. Lee directed the address on "The Duties of a Man." This was in the form of a sermon and was one of the most comprehensive as well as finely delivered addresses ever enjoyed by this body. The subject next Monday at 10:30 a.m. will be "The Dispensation of the holy Spirit," by Dr. W. H. H. Butler of Washington, Pa. "Systematic Burglar." A burglar in New York was in such a hurry to leave a house at which he called professionally that he left behind him a book containing a list of the places he had "burgled," alphabetically indexed. When arrested he informed the police that he was a "systematic burglar." Made Wedding. Realistic. At the wedding of a Leicester (Eng.) fireman, solemnized in the ruins of a half-burned church, the bridegroom was conveyed to the ceremony on a motor fire-engine, and his comrades formed an arch of axes for the newly-married pair.

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (B E. O. SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, IL) FEEDING THE FIVE THOUSAND LESSON TEXT -Mark 6:30-44 GOLDEN TEXT -Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life." -John 6:38 This parable marks the high level of the year of popularity in the life of our Lord. It is such an important miracle as to be the only one recorded by all four gospel writers. The returning disciples (v. 30) are urged by the Master, to come with him into a desert place that they might rest, and also that he might comfort their hearts over the death of John the Baptist. "They had no leisure." Jesus knew the need and also the proper use of leisure. But the multitude would not grant this and flocked to his retreat in the desert. They saw and followed that they might listen to his gracious words or behold some new wonder, but Jesus also saw and ministered. v. 24. Carlisle said he saw in England "for forty millions, mostly fools." Not so with Jesus. He saw and was moved, not with sarcasm, but with compassion, which compassion took a tangible form of service. It is interesting to note in verse 34 that the compassion of Jesus led him first of all to teach. It is better to teach a man how to help himself than to help the man. We also infer from this verse, that the soul of a man is of more value than his body. It is not enough, however, to say, "G bless you, be fed and warm," when a man is hungry. So it is that Jesus listened to his disciples when they saw the physical need of the multitude. A Great Task. St. John tells us 'in this connection of the conversation with Philip. Philip lived, in Bethsida near by, yet to feed this multitude was for him too great a task, even with his knowledge of the resources at hand, John 6:5-7. Yet we need not be surprised at Philip's slowness of faith. Moses in like manner was once not lussed how to feed six thousand in the wilderness, see Num. 11:21-23. It is not so much as to how great the need nor how little we possess, but rather is the little given to God. Another discipline, Andrew, who had discovered the Saviour unto Peter, discovers as though in desperation a boy whose mother had thoughtfully provided him with a lunch consisting of five barley biscuits and two small dried herring (John 6:9), at least that much remained. It is a great commentary upon the tide of interest at this time that this boy should not have eaten his lunch, for a boy's hunger is proverbial. It seems as though Jesus emphasizes the helplessness of the disciples in order that he may show his power. His command, "give ye them," (v. 37) teaches us that we are to give such as we have, not look to others, nor do our charity by proxy. Prov. 11:24. 25. Again the Saviour asks his disciples to see (v. 38) as though he would teach them the boundless resources of his kingdom. Give what you have and he will bless and increase it to the supplying of the needs of the multitude. The secret of success was when he took the loaves and "looking up" for God also saw on that day, and blessed it. We need to observe the systematic procedure. The people seated or reclining upon the ground in ranks or by companies. The Master blessing and breaking the boy's cakes and giving first to the disciples, for God only works such miracles through human agencies, and then giving to the people. The result of this systematic procedure was that "all did eat," and further, they were satisfied. v. 42. Not alone, however, was there Divine order and lavishness, but there was economy and thrift as well, for Jesus gave careful directions as to the fragments. The lavishness is shown by the fact that the haskets in which the fragments were gathered were such large enough in which to sleep. Living Bread. The conversation process was a stinging robuke to the improvident orientals, and to the present day prodigals of that wonderful bounty with which God has blessed our land. Gives God to us that we may use, Joy dies unless it is shared. Jesus, the living bread (John 6:48) will satisfy hunger, and life, as bread, generates in the human body heat, energy, vitality, power, etc., so he would feed the hungry souls of mankind. We have at hand the Word; it is for lack of it that men die in the deepest sense of that word. The poverty and perplexity of the disciples in his presence and the presence of this great need is being repeated over and over today and yet it is absurd. We have not enough to feed the multitude. Our few leaves of amusemental mental activities, etc., will not feed them, but when we break unto them the Living Bread they have enough and to spare. When our Lord has the handling of our loaves then they are charged with new power and are for the satisfying of the nations. Jesus welcomed the multitude though the disciples would send them away. Jesus saw their need spiritually though the disciples saw only the physical need. Jesus saw the abundant resources of the Father. Phil. 4:19), whereas the disciples saw only their poverty and helplessness. The disciples had; however, learned to know Jesus well enough to obey, and so though his commands seemed out of reason they at once began to give to the people, and as they gave, not before, the food was multiplied. They drew not from an earthly, but a heavenly, storehouse. The multitude also obeyed. "If he will be willing and obedient he shall eat of the good of the land." Isa. 7:19. Nor shall one be overlocked. We. indeed, is the giver of every good and perfect gift. CHURCH NOTICES CHURCH NOTICES Bethel A. M. E. Church. Corner Wylie avenue and Elm street.

LOOK OUT FOR THE CARS DO YOU know of anyone who is old enough to read, who has not seen that sign at a railroad crossing? If everyone has seen it at some time or other, then why doesn't the railroad let the sign rot away? Why does the railroad company continue to keep those signs at every crossing?

Your store and your goods need more advertising than the railroads need do to warn people to "Look Out for the Cara." Nothing is ever completed in the advertising world. The Department Stores are a very good example—they are continually advertising—and they are continually doing a good business.

I wish you'd recommend to me A good dyspepsia cure." "I've just the thing," the druggist cried, "To cure such witching dills You ought to try a little box Of Dubbs' Dyspepsia Pills. "They're recommended far and near, North, south, and east and west; In testimonials which say They surely are the best." "No." sighed the palid stranger, then, "No pills like those for me. Come, can you not suggest at once Some other remedy." "Good sir," the druggist replied, "I have upon my shelf Some other cases. This is made Dubbs himself." "And surely," most impressively the drummist said. "you know Tha' Doctor Dubbs would never give Dysppeaia any show."

Instead of throwing away the ashes from your furnace, place them in a neat pile in the center of the lawn during the winter. Next spring cover with a foot of rich dirt and plant with flowers, interspersing with miniature Alpine chaiets; thus you will provide yourself with nice scenery without the expense of traveling. An old silk hat lined with tin and fitted with a ball and cover makes a neat and unusual tool holder or lunch carrier. A charming pencil holder may be made by cutting the middle finger from a new kid glove and buttonholestitching the cut edge, then affixing a silver or gold pin for fastening to the vest. To make your own porous plasters: Make a chemical analysis of the composition on the plaster you purchase at the drug store, secure the ingredients and prepare them. Take any old popular song of which you have tired, paste it on a sheet of muslin, then with a conductor's punch make holes where the notes are printed on the music. Spread the composition (the chemical one) on the back of the re-enforced music. To know whether or not an egg is fresh: Take the egg firmly between the thumb and two fingers of the right hand. lift it to a level with the eyes, then bring it down sharply upon the edge of a dish or pan. His Reward. "Your salary," said the astute city editor, to the new reporter, "is increased $10 on the week." "Oh, jorz!" ejaculated the new reporter. "But why? What mistake have I succeeded in avoiding?" "In your story of the launching of the Meteor you conformed to the conventionalities and appropriateness of the name, and, instead of saying that she 'sild from the ways,' you said that she 'shot from the water.' A man who remembers that meteors shoot first ahead of slide will always find his carefulness appreciated in this office." Our Own Colonies When the young man appeared on the floor of the ballroom elad in a foursack and a smile, the host rushed up to him with an angry countenance and exclaimed: "What does this mean, sir? How dare you appear before my guests in such a costume, when our invitations expressly stated that it was a colonial cotillon?" "Well," asserted the young man, "this is colonial all right. It is a costume that came direct from the Philippines." The Fits. "But," observed the fool man who had permitted his wife to take him along on her search for a fall bonnet, "the hat doesn't seem to fit. Now, I think a woman's hat should conform to her head the same as a man's." "Oh," tittered the merry milliner, "there are no fits connected with fall hats. They generally develop in the men when the bill comes home." WORST DESERT IN ALL ASIA Hongwanji Temple at Kyoto, Japan, Crosses Takla-Makan Sand in Thirty Years. Tokio, Japan—Rev Zuicho Tachibana, a priest of the great West Hongwanji temple of Kroto, returned to that place recently after five years spent in exploration in the virgin parts of central Asia, writes a correspondent. His journey was undertaken for purposes of research under the instruction of Count Otani, the lord abbot of the Hongwanji temple and an enthusiastic geographer. Mr. Tachibana is a young man of twenty-two years of age and of such delicate physique that the natives said he must be a woman disguised as a man. Mr. Tachibana proceeded from London to Onak and thence by stage coach in Semipalatinsch, thence to Turban in Sinkiang ("the new territory") passable roads were found. During his explorations Mr. Tachibana traveled across the Takla-Makan desert, which he describes as the THE MONKEY Sheltered at the Edge of the Desert, worst of all deserts in central Asia. Neither birds nor even insects are to be found there. The desert is a sea of sand, where there is only the wind to hear and the moon to see. The party constantly met sand mountains over 12,000 feet high, and the men began to grumble, fearing that they would be buried by the constant sandstorms. On arriving at Goma, on the right bank of the River Tarim, he caused considerable fright among the sheep, as he was the first party from the south for thirty years. At first the sheepads died, but were brought back. The foot of crossing the desert caused greatest incidence by the sheepads. At this point he left the camel caravan to follow on slowly, while he proceeded on horseback to Kuchar, which place he reached after three days. This is a large town, though not to be compared with civilized cities. "Nevertheless," said Mr. Tachibana, "I felt on entering it as though I had suddenly been put down in Plecidilly." Some time was spent in the neighborhood of Kushazar investigating the buried cities, and afterward the explorer proceeded through the valley to the cast of Tazuling to Khotan, the districts previously explored by Dr. Stein (now Sir Marc Aurel Stein). Thence the party proceeded to Tibet for the purpose of geological ingestion. Several districts were visited by Mr. Tachibana which had been omitted by Dr. Sven Hedin. These regions are absolutely blank on the maps, and have never been visited before. As soon as the records of the journey have been collated the Hongwanji temple will issue a report on Mr. Tachibana's exploration, which will without doubt be eagerly anticipated in scientific circles in Europe and America as well as in Asia. STOWAWAY HEEDS A VISION Explains That He Received a Divine Summons to Preach to Bengthed Chinese—Is Shipped Back. San Francisco Cal—Harold Yates, a frightened youth, who had seen a vision and started for the Orient to preach to the Chinese, was brought back to San Francisco on the steamer Nile, which reached here recently. Yates "call," by which he was summoned to spread the message of the gospel among the heaton, led him to stow away on the steamer Manchuria, which jetted here Friday. Captain Friole of the Manchuria has tened to the young man's account of his vision, after he had emerged from his hiding place, but decided that it did not entitle Yates to free passage and the stowaway was transferred to the Nile when that vessel was met in mid-ocean. Teresa, who was employed as a bellhop at a local hotel, was awakened with difficulty last Friday morning by an uncle bathing. He explained that he had been listening to a divine summons to the missionary field and hurriedly packed a few belongings and boarded the Manchuria, where he hid in the fold. BREAKS JAIL TO FEED CATS Nevada Miner Tramps: Forty Miles That His Pets May Not Suffer— Act May Bring Freedom. Sen. Franklin Oak—When James Watkins a miner, was placed in jail at searchlight. Nev. recently charged with having stolen a pair of gree curtains, he asked the latter to see that his pet cats were fed. The latter tugged at him, but when fell Watkins broke jail and trumped forty miles across the desert to attend to his pets. The sheriff followed him next day in a motor car and found Watkins coursing milk for the cats at his cabin. The charge against Watkins probably will be dismissed, his accuser having been impressed by the miner's affection for his pets. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS THE PITTSBURGH COURIER A negro boy in Canton, Texas, has proved himself a real hero, and there are two happy parents in the vicinity of the little town who feel that they can never pay the debt of gratitude they owe him for the rescue of their child. Little Calrin Stepp, a child of three years, fell into a sixty-foot well. It was dry and had been abandoned, but was insecurely covered. Owing to the fact that the well was very narrow (13 inches in diameter), the child struck from side to side, breaking the force of the fall. Strange as it may seem, the little one was unharmed. Its voice could be heard calling: "Tome dit me out!" The mother insisted on being lowered into the well, and made a desperate effort to descend, but her shoulders could not be forced through the narrow opening. For two hours or more fruitless attempts at rescue continued, when Elbert Gray, a thirteen-year-old negro lad, arrived at the well. "It go down," he said. A rope was fastened about him, and he was lowered to the bottom of the well. He grasped the child by the sleeves of its dress and the two were raised forty feet, when the cloth tore apart, and the child fell to the bottom again. The bracelet boy's head was brushed and bleeding when he was drawn to the top, but he was eager to try again. A loop was fastened about his ankles and he was lowered into the well head down. He carried a rope with which he made a noose under the baby's arms. Both were then drawn to the top, neither very much injured. Cheers from the crowd and tearful thanks from the parents greeted the negro and $25 was raised for him on the spot and a much larger sum was given him in town.-Grit. Negotiations are under way for the formation of a business alliance between American negroes and the natives of the Gold Coast, West Africa. Charles W. Chappelle, known both in New York and Pittsburgh, is at the head of the project, and has interested thirty-two colored men of Pittsburgh and two in New York. Mr. Chappelle returned from the Gold Coast a few weeks ago, after spending several months investigating the business possibilities of that country. While there he says he made contracts with eighty-two chiefs, who will supply him with gold, cocoa, mahogany and rubber. The American negroes and natives are also organizing the African Central railroad and the West Coast Steam and Harbor company. These two transportation companies will develop business for 440 miles in West Africa. While in New York a few days ago Mr. Chappelle accompanied by E. M. Askform, a native of the Gold Coast, visited the Astoria veneering mill, at Astoria, L. I., and made arrangements to furnish the mill with many thousand feet of mahogany. No company has been formed and no stock is to be put on the market, each American putting in a certain amount, which will be used in developing the natural resources of the Gold Coast in conjunction with the natives. Miss I. M. Carpenter has been appointed soliciting agent of the freight department of the Pere Marquette-Lehigh Valley railroad, with headquarters at Davenport. Miss Daisy Odin was made division agent on the Burlington, at Rock Island, about a month ago. Both women are experts in the kind of work they will do. In the District of Columbia the statement shows that there were 94,446 blacks and 22,952 mulattoes in 1910, as against 75,572 blacks and 19,836 mulattoes in 1830. The growth of the number of mulattoes does not imply an increasing intermittence between whites and blacks, since children born of marriages between blacks and mulattoes would be mulattoes, according to the census definition. It will be seen that Washington has 127,398 Negroes, the Negro population forming more than one-third of the total population. The per cent increase of mulattoes over the number in 1906 is about equal to the per cent increase that is shown by the "blacks" for the same period. Savannah, Ga., is to have a four-story hotel by and for colored people on the European plan. A lunch counter, buffet service at any hour and, roof garden will be some of the features. No married man to Vienna is allowed to go up in a balloon without the usual consent of his wife and child. Colored men and women, the light is your ex-prize, not cash with your mouth, with your pocket-books for it is money which makes the mare. Often we have some thoughtless dorky talking about having been born in my parachutist their own race, and giving that a reason for no bestowal and further patronage. These same people have also been bitten by whites, and will be bitten again if they stay in earth. Adopt the wise course. Let someone be by ones. Do like other intelligent people prioritize your own pride. In 1916 fiscal year the government plant at Manila earned a net profit of $18,858. The earnings were from the cold storms, distilled water and the sale of some electric current. The sales earnings were $20,015. A drill or two in mihilad's skirt can make more man usus especially when the follows ragged him downtown about sanching. The gentle of heart may smile, but their balm is poured ten times over upon the wound. Robert R. Church, Sr. one of the wealthiest citizens in Memphis and considered the wealthiest Negro in the south, died at his late residence, 364 Lauderdale street, Memphis, Tennessee. The deceased, who was 74 years old, had been ill eighteen months. He retired from business last October and was succeeded by Robert R. Church, Jr. The Memphis Commercial Appeal gives the following account of Mr. Church's career: "The singular circumstance of a Negro, born a plave, rising from cabin boy on a Mississippi river steamboat to the mastery of a fortune estimated at a million dollars made him conspicuous character, and the news of his death was received all over the city with expressions of interest and enterprise. Church's life reads like a page born from fiction. He came to Memphis years ago. Thrift and industry uncommonly marked, coupled with a keen insight and keen business ability, made him quickly recognized as a man of uncommon business ability. His word was as good as his bond. He came to Holly Springs Miss. For a while he worked around the livery stables here and later he went into the saloon business. Here he got his start. His savings were gradually invested in real estate. One purchase followed another. He saw with a prophetic eye a great city, and he knew that some day his property be valuable. His estimates if ever sold. Conservative estimates are that he left between 200 and 300 houses in various parts of Memphis. The bulk of them are in the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards. According to one in authority, his monthly income from his rentals amounted to $6,000 alone. He owned a subdivision of 135 acres on the Raleigh car line cast of Memphis and was founder and first president of the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company, the first Negro financial institution of the city. Church's Park on Beale avenue is also his property. Though no unusual deeds of charity or munificence are credited to him, yet it is known that he was a charitable man. He lived simply, though he could have easily outshone many a man in the ostentatious display of luxury. He went about his work quietly and kept a pulse that marked him as a man of extraordinary common sense. The late John, Overton, John Gaston and the intolge Col. Josh Patterson were his friends. Sid M. Neely was his closest adviser. There were 8,527,763 negroes in continental United States in 1910, according to a preliminary statement issued by Director Durand of the bureau of the census yesterday. The statistics, which were prepared under the direction of William C. Hunt, chief statistician for population, are subject to revision. Of the total number of blacks 29.9 per cent, or 2,050,586, were reported as mulatto, that is, according to the census definition, all persons, not full-blooded blacks, having some proportion or perceptible trace of African blood in them. The Kentucky Daughters of the American Revolution are pleased by the passage of the bill in congress appropriating money to mark the trail of Daniel Boone. Suitable milestones will be set in place to commemorate the journey of the pathfinder of Kentucky. The Virginians are setting up stones to show the paths of the first traders. Perbaps unappreciation of the coloured journal comes more from the fact that but few persons actually read all its columns, remarks the Illinois Chronicle. A hasty glance at the headlines, a peep at the editorials and a skimming of the locals constitutes the average reader's attention to the weekly issue. The opinion from such cursory reading then follows that the "negro paper is no good—no news—not worth reading." Give the papers a change to prove their worth. Brains are put into them; use your brains to get the substance out of them. Read them carefully, not one issue, but several, and find out what they contain, then give your honest opinion and let it be unprejudiced, if you please. A tract covering nine city blocks in Wilmington, N. C. valued at about $30,000, has been set apart by an act of congress for a negro school. A $40,000 building is to be erected at once. The tract adjoins the marine hospital. The tight was gets no reduction in heaven for entering sideways. A negro lifeterm convict in Michigan City prison, Indiana, was granted leave of ten days absence August, to go to his home in New Albany without guard to see the last of his sister, who was dying. The only thing that keeps us from saying an automobilist says the Lamar, Mo. Dumogat, is the fact that we haven't a blamed thing to mortgage. Brookers of hearts are generally busted. A Sacramento Valley Irrigation company has shipped a year-old peach tree bearing over 10 peaches to Chicago. The tree is six feet high and when packed with dirt weighed 1,000 pounds. "A few rays" is what some women call the clothing for which their hubbles sweated the first part of the summer. Cleverness is the best kind of tonic for all afflictions save that of the heart.
