VOLUME XXXII. NO. 46 LEAVING CHICAGO-LIKED HIS "BITTERS"—IN ST. PAUL-MR. ADAM'S RESIDENCE—SECURING RECruITS—WEST INDIANS. I visited the residence of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. T. Watkins in Calumet St. The dark stone front with its inviting surroundings immediately attracted attention. Mr. Watkins' key was the "open-scame" to the magnificent interior, finished in colors which harmonized with the double parlor decorations. The furniture was gold finished and carefully covered by the mistress of the palatial home, who was at that time slightly indisposed. The wall decoration was a veritable "dream." A PALATIAL CLUB. A hurried visit and we were soon out on the sidwalk. In company with President S. A. T. Watking I visited the magnificent Appomattox Club, where the leading colored citizens find that "life is worth living." It is admirably arranged and it is kept in a way that reflects great credit upon the management. The building at 3441 Wabash Avenue is owned by the Club. It is kept up to a high standard of excellence. It was nearing the time for me to leave Chicago. During my trip I had met Mossar. W. E. Agge, William White, D. S. Miller, A. E. Cone, Mrs. Ione Lucas, Leicentian Wm. F. Chiles, Robert Pelham, Jr. James W. Woodlee, Lee A. Tildington, Rev W. W. Russell, Mrs. Charlie Scott, A. Finley Wilson, Oscar Woods. I visited the armory of the Eighth Illinois Regiment of the Illinois National Guard. It is a fine structure. A MATTER OF BUSINESS By selling the old structure an additional amount of sixty thousand dollars has been realized and this amount is being expended in the enlargement of the present new structure. Col. P. A. Dennison is the able commanding officer. It was 6:00 P. M. when I reached the B. and O. station and took the train for St. Paul, Minn. It is astonishing to a Southerner to see how these trains are crowded from the day coaches in front to the palatial Pullman cars in the rear. I went back into the club and observation car, where I sat down among the white passengers. I had travelled from Richmond, Virginia to this point and nowhere had I seen a colored passenger on the Pullman cars. During my trip from Harrisburg, the porter had pointed out to me a spot where the Pennsylvania R. R. Company had much trouble. THE LOST ENGINE A locomotive became derailed there and it had disappeared. All efforts to raise it had failed. The company had a track laid over the spot and they were not sure now that it would not at some time give trouble again. As I sat in the club car, I saw the porter at the wicket. A white passenger had approached. He sat down and enjoyed his bottle of beer while the porter came outside to wait on him. He visited the establishment again, much to the edification of himself and the porter. AN ATTENTIVE PASSENGER The next morning I arose early and went back into the club and observation car. I found the friend of the previous night sitting near the same station while the porter slept anugly in his bed in the corner of the car. When he arose, he found me smiling at him, while his white friend grimly awaited the call to the refreshment counter. When the porter entered the enclosure and looked out the white passenger was ready to give his order. I laughingly conversed with the porter and he remarked, "Yes, he was about the only friend I had last night." We were due at St. Paul, Minnesota at about 11:00 A. M. I had previously notified Editor John Q. Adams, of the Appeal that I would be there. When I at last reached the station a red cap as the porters are called, took my luggage. I found him to be a West Indian. I thought I saw Mr. Adams pass me. He looked at me without recognition and I thought I was mistaken. When I enquired about him, the porter opened, "Why, he just passed you. I will find him." He did so and I was soon chatting with the well-known publisher of The Journal. We went down to the banks of the Mississippi and we looked at the great bridge spanning the mighty river. Dr. Adams pointed out to me the proposed improvements. The special train of the Oklahoma citizens was due in St. Paul that morning and arrangements had been made for the guests. ited The Appeal office. It is well located in the heart of the city. Before going there, however, I was much amused at some of the signs in the establishment of Measra Jamison and Brooks at 40 E. Third Street. One of them read, "Your face is good, but it wont go in the cash register," and another, "If you split on the floor at home, split on the floor here. We want everybody to feel at-home." From the appearance of the place, these signs seemed to have had the proper effect. St. Paul is a fine city. A FINE BREAKFAST. I strolled through its streets for a short while on my way to Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Adams' residence. I had but two hours in St. Paul and Minneapolis. Breakfast had been prepared for me and the faithily awaited my arrival. If I was late, it was Mr. Adams' fault, for I followed him as uncomplainingly as a child. I had to do so for I was a stranger in St. Paul. When we finally halted after leaving the street car, we entered the cosy residence of Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Adams. It is a structure of modern architecture and kept up to a standard of housekeeping excellence that would please the most fastidious. They had delayed breakfast and I met Rev. H. P. Jones, Dr. Valdo Turner-Miss Caroline A. Steward and Mrs. Jeanne S. Black, Miss Adina Adams and Miss Edyth Elia Adams, there. A HUSBAND'S EXPLANATION Madame Adams was the presiding genius. How she arranged the matter relative to that delayed breakfast, I never knew. A happy party sat down to that magnificent repast. What shall I say about the breakfast? It was magnificent. There was no sign of race or color. There was absolute joyous happiness. I ate and as I glanced at my watch I found that unless I expected to take the afternoon train I must hurry at once to the station. DR. TURNER'S COURTESY. Dr. Valdo Turner's car was at the door and after expressing my heartfelt appreciation to Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Adams, I hurriedly left for the station. Dr. Turner has a remunerative practice and is liked by his patrons. Bidding him a hurried adieu. I passed through the narrow gateway and I was soon down at the tracks below. The train was to travel in two sections and I was on the second section. I would not be able to stop at Minnesota. I had missed seeing the sights of both cities, but the enjoyment experienced at the Adams' mansion was worth it. ON TO CANADA. I was now enroute to Vancouver, British Columbia. I looked at the fields of waving grain as the train hurried to the Canadian border. The regulation blue uniform of the Pullman porters had given away to the mixed gray uniform of the Canadian Pacific Railway porters. All are colored men, however. With but few exceptions, all of the Canadian Pacific Railway porters are West Indians. Their peculiar method of pronunciation and color at once tell their origin and birth place. I met Mr. Maurice Anderson of St. Paul, Minn. on the dining car. He was delighted to see me. I was now travelling through fields of grain. The threeding machines were busy and the wheat was piled high in the fields through which we passed. NO COLORED PASSENGERS. I had travelled nearly two thousand miles and I had met no colored passengers. On the other hand colored men were ever at my elbow; so to speak, as porters or waiters. The scene became monotonous and the trip trisome. I came to bed that night tired out and I thanks to find myself looking at those "breaking" fields of wheat and grain. This rich country is being tilled, but its products find their way into the storage graineries of this country until transportation can be secured and a market found on the other side. I had crossed Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota and was at last at Portal. STRICT REGULATIONS This border town is on the line separating the United States from Canada. North Portal is in Canada. Here I was on the Canadian Pacific Railroad's tracks. I saw them changing the train crews. It may be well to state that prior to arriving at this point blanks had been distributed on which each passenger was required to state his or her name, age, birthplace and also how long he or she would remain in Canada. Warning was given on the sheet of severe penalties for false statements. It was a fact that the question of race or color was not raised here. "A citizen of the United States" was all that was necessary for an answer. I turned in the blank, feeling that I had reached one place upon the American continent where my American citizenship was recognised. A HEAVY LOSS I walked up and down the platform for exercise. I now automobiles come (Continued on Page 8.) RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1915. COLORED GIRL HELD AS SLAVE 10 YEAR OLD CHILD HELD BY WHITE WOMAN, WHO WANTS TO ADOPT EER, BUT JUDGE REFUSES. The little 10-year old Ada Preston granddaughter of Mrs. Annie Hunter, who lives in the rear of 593 W. 3rd Street is being kept in servitude at the residence of Mrs. Elsie Mac Shepherd, 901 W. 7th Street of this city. The Gazette reporter called at the residence of Mrs. Shepherd, and held an interview with Mrs. Shepherd and her son, who admits they wanted to keep the child and will not give it to its grandmother. Sometimes ago Mrs. Preston, the child's mother left the baby, Ada, with Mrs. Annie Hunter, her own mother and the child's grandmother, and went to Argenta, Arkansas to work and grandmother Hunter has been caring for and sending the child to school all the time until some weeks ago little Ada was missed in the home and an ad. was immediately placed in the Oklahoma Gazette which brought to light the hiding away of the child in the Home of the Shepherds (white.) Mrs. Shepherd went to the judge to have the little black girl adopted as her own, but the judge refused her request. In her pleading to the judge she said, "Of course I am from the North and I will treat the child all right. It shall have a bed right in my room; but sleep to itself, and shall eat after we are through at my own table." PROMISED HER PRESENTS. According to the statement of the child's grandmother, her child said the white woman promised to give her a gold watch, a bracelet and a gold ring if she stayed with her. The child has been taught to deny her grandmother and when asked about her now home, she said, "Mr. Leon whipped me last night." Mrs. Shepherd talked freely with the reporter and said she had a little Negro girl once before but she ran away after staying only one night. A BURNING SHAME On last Monday night, several of our prominent and most respectable citizens were assaulted by a mob of policemen, merely because they were silently protecting their displeasure at the continuance of a play at the Forrest Theatre in this city. More than a hundred policemen were called out and with clubs and "blackjack" they made murderous assault upon in offensive citizens probably mutilating some of them for life. Rev W. F. Graham, one of the most successful if not the most successful minister in this city, the pastor of the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, was pounced upon by these ruffians and beaten about the head and shoulders, so that he had to be taken to the hospital. Brother Hell, one of the most efficient officers of the Bethel Church, met a similar fate. Dr W. A. Sinclair, a member of the Publication Board and a citizen of repute, was also brutally assaulted and beaten for no crime whatever. Mr. Sidney Purnell, for many years Secretary of the Publication Board, and several others were arrested. And the best proof that those persons were grossly ill treated was that many of those whom the police assaulted they did not have the moral courage to arrest; and those who were arrested (except one) were discharged by the magistrate without even asking for a defence. Indeed, some six policemen testified in one case and the only thing they could say was that they saw a colored man running and they had no other reasons for arresting him. In the case of Mr. Purnell, the policeman said he saw that colored man standing in the middle of the street and arrested him but gave no reason. The magistrate justly rebuked the policemen for such unjust arrests. We hope Dr. Graham and Mr. Bell will not only prosecute the brutal policemen for assault and battery but will get suitable damages from this city whose agents those irresponsible policemen are. In this city policemen have no right to club people without cause. (Christian Recorder.

HOLY TRINITY BAPSTEST CHURCH PHILADELPHIA PENN- PRAISES THURSDAY, MARCH 21 THEIR PASTOR DR. W. F. GRAHAM FOR THE LEADING PART HE TOOK IN THE INTENT OF HIS RACE AGAINST THE PLAY KNOWN AS "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." In the course of human events where a weaker race seeks to gain from the stronger an honest inheritance of God's creation, there always appears upon the canvas of time, malicious scenes intended to underrate the weaker race from reaching the golden fruit, which God has planted in Nature's great orchard for all hard toilers of earth below, therefore He has always had a leader in store and calls them from a burning bush in time to save His anointed. We cherish with pride the names of Lincoln, Grant, Summer, Lovejoy, Beecher, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Brown and Doughs, who gave their lives blood upon the altar that the corner stone of this great republic might be planted to mark the beginning of a thriving nation. These men to day sleep beneath the soil; but their deeds of valor live and kindle a burning flame in the breast of every true race leader and puts into practice the doctrine he preaches and teaches. In view of these facts burning, upon not only the members of Holy Trinity Baptist Church, who have furnished a leader in every rational trial in our great Commonwealth for the last fifteen years of our struggling existence. But today more than nine millions of liberty loving men, women and children stand willing to cast trophies at the feet of our pastor, Dr. Wesley P. Graham, who spit his blood under the shadow of the Temple of Justice, that his race should be no longer pictured as a vampire supplying life's blood from the proud Anglo-Saxon, as pictured by one Tom Dixon, whose British aims intended only to poison the minds of our white friends whom we have won by honest Christian living. Therefore, Be it Resolved, That in body assembled that we commend our pastor for his loyal action in taking the lead against the play known as "The Birth of a Nation" now being produced in our city pledging to him our unstinted support against any and all acts that place our race in a false light before the world. Be it further Resolved, Her each blog received and each drop of blood spirit are but spectacles by and through which our young men and women can plainly see freedom's corner stone, which must be reached through trials, blood and tears.

BIRTH OF A NATION CREATES RIOT Afro-American citizens of Philadelphia to the number of between 15,000 and 2000 in a dignified parade protested against the photo-play at the Forest Theatre, "The Birth of a Nation" Monday night. The parade was intended to be a peaceable and orderly protest and was composed and led by the most representative members men and women of our race. Broad Street, from Sansom to Walnut, for a moment presented a scene of the wildest disorder. The charge of the police followed the throwing or a stone by an Afro-American, the brick striking the upper glass in the entrance of the theatre and shattering it. instantly 25 big reserves, who had been guarding the theatre entrance sprang at the Afro-Americans. Hats flew in the air, and the great majority of the offending mob fleed pill moll down the street. The police were unable to determine how many were seriously hurt, but no less than a score of cases were treated in the Jefferson, Polylinie, Doughlass and other hospitals. Many of the injured went to various hospitals in the south end of the town. Monday night's attack was begun shortly before 10 o'clock. For fully two hours previously Afro-Americans had gathered in the neighborhood of the theatre. At the moment when it was thought the main body of Afro-Americans had dispersed well down South Street, a second disturbance was begun at the corner of Walnut and Broad Sts. There an Afro-American threw a brick striking patrolman Wallace Striker, of the Fifth district, on the right arm. The officer turned on his assailant and swung victiously with his club. He ran with the policeman in pursuit. On Juniper, between Walnut and Samson, he was knocked down by a police man's stick. The crowd by that time was so dense that Juniper street was literally packed for blocks. He was sent to the Central district and the police returned to Broad street. The crowd seems to have kept going south on Broad street. They yelled insistly in their flight: "We're for Porter, and we can do anything like this." This was one of the cries repeated over and over again as the fleeing Afro-Americans made their way to safety. Only three arrests were made. The police were in charge of Captain Tempest, who was assisted by Lieutenant Duffy, of the reserves: Lieutenant Meyers, of the Fifth district, and Lieutenant Dinkler, of the Sixth district. Police instructions were to make no arrests nor attacks, so long as the Afro-Americans created no disorder. At 9 o'clock many were congregated in front of the theatre. They were commanded to keep walking, not to stand in groups. Some of them objected and they were roughly handled by the police. They moved on after the police made it known that they meant business. By 8:30 o'clock the crowd had swelled to hundreds. In the meantime thousands of whites had been attracted. The Afro-Americans began parading, first on the east side of Broad street, then on the west. They proceeded as far as Chestnut street, then retreated as far south as the Hotel Walton. The first demonstration of ugliness was shown when they capped billboards containing lithographs of "The Birth of a Nation. They tore these litho-graphs to shreds, and howled madly while they were destroying them. A dozen times they marched back and forth past the theatre. The disturbance could be heard for blocks. They were particularly noisy when they got directly in front of the theatre. The police made no effort to stop the noise. They merely insisted that they keep moving. About 9:15, on their last march south, they seemed to have disappeared. For 15 minutes it was the opinion of the police that the disturbers had given up the job and gone home. Broad street had assumed almost normal proportions. Of a sudden, the crowd were heard marching back towards the theatre. Their numbers had become largely augmented. Still the police didn't believe there would be real trouble. A division of the Afro-Americans moved east on Walnut street and turned into Juniper street. It was at this juncture that the situation looked more serious than at any time. They were bolder. They had taken on fresh courage, but they kept on the march into Broad street. Down to Chestnut and then back again the entire mob moved. Hundreds were yelling. "Down with the Republican gang; we're for Porter!" and like remarks. As they started the return march south on Broad street, the great size was apparent. Hundreds of them had passed the theatre entrance, singing, yelling, talking. The police hude a line that stretched across the entrance of the playhouse. The parade had moved about two-thirds past. The rear section had become jammed. Directly beyond, to the middle of the street, there was another solid mass of marchers. Then, at the crucial moment, some one throw a stone. It struck the glass overhead and shattered it. Within a second the police had leaped on the mob. Resolvers were drawn, clubs swung in every direction. Neither the police nor any one else appears to know the identity of the mob who are behind the present agitation. Arthur Lunn, one of the Afro Americans arrested is accused of throwing the missile which damaged the front of the Forrest Theatre. He was held in $500 ball by Magistrate Beaton. Lunn lives in Cherry street. Woodford Jack son, Lombard street; Sidney E. Purnell son, Seventeenth street, and Joseph Davenport, South Seventeenth street all charged with lethal riot, were discharged. The police were unable to testify that those prisoners had actually hefted those. Among those who were injured were Rev. Dr. W. E. Graham, Dr. W. A. Simich, Winfield Woodford, Harry Cogger and Mrs. James Howard. (Philadelphia Courier.) --- JOHN MITCHELL, JR. RECEIVES THE HOSPITALITY OF OUR CITY.

TAG DAY SATURDAY TAG DAY SATURDAY The Tag Day, which is to be held this coming Saturday will be conducted by a committee who is highly respected by both races and servants of the best white families in our city. This is known as the Women's Movement for Colored Hospital and Training School for the betterment of women. This Committee is one of the most reliable committees in the State and has constructed many Tag Days, and has been successful in them all. The Tag Day, which was held 1911 realized over $1,200, which was turned over to the board of the Old Folks' Home and Friends' Orphan Asylum, which consists of the leading ministers in the city. Mr Z. D. Lewis was not one. The Committee also held another Tag Day this year, 1915, and raised about $290. This was turned over to the same board of the two institutions consisting of the leading ministers in the city. Mr Z. D. Lewis was not one. The motive, which was raised some years ago for the Colored Hospital is in Mr. John L. Williams and Son's bank, corner Eighth and Main streets. This which will be lifted this coming Saturday will also be placed in there with it, so therefore this Committee is asking the public to please contribute largely and wear a Tag for this most worthy cause. Mr. Z. D. Lewis warned his boss out not to contribute until they found out who the Committee was, when the Committee's names were in the daily papers for everyone to read. They are well known and well thought of by both races. This Committee is not at all suppressed at the article which appeared in Yesterdays' Journal under Mr. Z. D. Lewis' signature. This Committee wishes the public in general to know their names, we are now asking the prayers of the public for our success. Respectfully. Tm. COOMMITTEE: Artena J. Miller, Pamela E.

It was a history lesson, and the teacher felt convinced he had told his boys all the important features and characters connected with the Wars of the Romans. "Now, boys, what do you know of Margaret of Anjou?" was his first question. A slight pause and then quite a good show of hands. "Well, Jones?" this to a youngster who was frantically waving his arm about like a flag signaller working overtime. "She was very f f fat, st f," stammered Jones. "Fat: How do you make that out?" queried the teacher, who had made no mention at all of the lady's physical charms and was somewhat doubt himself as to her exact dimensions. Opening his textbook, Jones triumphantly pointed to the following passage: "One of Richard's stout opponents was Marrars of Anken." HE WENT THE ROUNDS.

Joseph had just slipped into his seat when his room teacher saw him, "Joseph! I sent you into the hall to remain until I came. What are you doing in here?" Joseph raised his hand to explain, "Put your hand down and go into the hall at once." Joseph returned to the hall, but again met his departmental instructor: "Joseph, I thought I sent you to your room!" she exclaimed, "Either go into your room or down into the yard." The room teacher, going into the hall a few minutes later, could not find Joseph. Thinking he had gone to the yard, she followed him. "I told you to remain in the hall until I came" she angely exclaimed. "You may go and report to the principal." Joseph again raised his hand to explain. "Put your hand down and go to the principal at once." The principal was quite busy and did not wish to be bothered, so when Joseph entered the door she said: "Well, Joseph, have you been a bad boy again? Go to your room and behave yourself." Again Joseph raised his hand to explain. "But your hand down" she said. "And go to your room at once and behave as I told you." Joseph, who was in tears by this time, did not go to his room, but went instead to that of the primary teacher who was quite a friend of his. "Why Joseph, what is the matter?" asked his friend. "Dashing the tears from his eyes he said, 'I no disrupted being made a fool of by them teachers.'" Yeghis Companion.

Farm and Garden These of Medium Length and Size Preferable to Large Ones. The proper place to select seed corn is in the field, at or just before gathering time, says the Country Gentleman. Select from strong, healthy stalks that have the most shelled corn to the stalk, as such seed will tend to produce an increased yield in the next year's crop. Any method of seed selection that does not take the plant as a whole into consideration will not lead to the best results, for the stalk and leaves, which are the factory of the plant, determine to a considerable extent the size and quality of the ears. It has been observed that generally the best yielding varieties are those that produce more than one car to the stalk. Laws of medium length and size are preferable to long and large ones because the latter wee generally produced either on stalks that bore only one car or on stalks that grow on some fertile spot in the field. South seed does not land to produce the greatest yields when planted. Seed from corn grown on average land will be better planted on land of medium fertility than seed from the rich ground on rich land. In making seeds in the field three or four times in a month corn should be planted as is desired for seed purpose. The following year, so that further and more care selection can be made after the ears have been taken into the long. In the land selection the ears should be arranged conveniently on the bare floor or ground. MILITARY PARK and with all care of the type desired in the form of a hand, the lot should be ex- hausted and all unstable objects calmly moved. The soil this lot should be turned to a box or barrel and controlled with who guides to permit the box to contain it and not keep out it and make. Store the box or box in some dry place until the soil is wanted for identification. Sale rules should be made from stalks of fairly good size and of medium height, which have good root and leaf development. The ears should be held in the ground and should be at marked to the stalks by strong shanks of moderate width. When the land is of such fertility as to yield twenty to forty bushels of shilled corn to the acre, occasion should be made from stalks bearing two good sized ears to the stalk, taking both ears for seed purposes if they are of proper size and shape. Of all the characters to be considered, in making sale rules, that of proficiency in shiled corn to the stalk is of the greatest importance and should be given greatest weight. In the final selection the ears to select are those that have from sixteen to twenty or more grain rows; that have a fairly high percentage of grain to the ear; that are of uniform size, shape and color. In order to yield a high percentage of grain to cob the ears should be cylindrical in shape and the cob should be covered deeply and compactly with kernels. To secure this setting the kernels should be of a deep wedge shape and should be arranged in parallel rows in full length of the ears, with as small space as possible between the grain rows. The viability of all seed thus selected should be determined by germination tests before the corn is shelled. Ears that show less than 10 per cent germination should be discarded. Kernels of low germination, when used for planting, result in a poor stand and often cause small yields. Litter Mates. A southern sow had eight pigs and could nourish only seven of them at a time. Rather than let the old pig starve it was given to a little girl, who raised it by hand. She joined the Decatur County Pig club as a ham and bacon member and kept close record of the feed given and weights of her pig, which was not a pure breed. When the pig was ten months old it was killed according to the instructions sent her. It weighed 225 pounds net when dressed as meat and yielded also a fifty pound can of hard. The pig cost less than five bushels of corn to produce, as it was raised on kitchen waste in addition to the corn. The other seven pigs raised by the mother and left to rustle with, her were killed at the same time and averaged only eighty-seven pounds net when dressed as meat. This instance shows how liberally the pig will repay proper care and feed by gaining rapidly in weight.

The only effective means of controlling these cankers, according to the New York State College of Agriculture, is by removing the diseased bark, or cutting the affected limb from the tree. The cutting should be done very carefully, and the resulting wound should be covered with a dressing, not so much for the purpose of hastening the healing, but to protect the heart-wood from decay while the new tissue is being formed. --- The Former Best For Most Sections of Kansas. "In all of Kansas except the eastern one fourth hard wheat should be preferred to soft wheat," says L. E. Call, professor of agronomy in the Kansas State Agricultural college. Because of the favorable yields made by the soft wheat this year many farmers in different parts of the state have written to the college consumming the advisability of planting soft wheat in place of hard wheat this year. "The reason that the soft wheat turned out well this year," says Professor Call. "is because of the rainy weather encountered. Soft wheat has a stronger straw and does not hold easily as does hard wheat. Upon the bottom kinds in the eastern one fourth of Kansas, soft wheat can be grown successfully," he says. "but upon the uplands in the eastern part of the state the hard wheat will prove as good as the soft wheat." It would be a serious mistake for the farmers in the western three fourths of the state, beheads Professor Call, to plant any soft wheat. Hard wheat makes a much better flour than does the soft wheat, and the reputation of the state as a producer of wheat rests upon the hard wheat crop. If soft wheat is grown, it is apt to be mixed with the hard wheat at the elevators, so that the process at the terminal will be repeated with the soft wheat and the hard wheat farmers will lose money. Although soft wheat has an advantage in a wet season, it has many disadvantages. During the past eight years in the experiments on the college farm practical all of the varieties of the soft wheat have winter killed each year, while both in one year did the hard wheat winter kill. The soft wheat is not free from damage by the Hessian fly, though in many places the past year the soft wheat seemingly was not dissected in the eastern states where soft wheat is grown it is damaged severely at times by the Hessian fly.

Ame than Agriculturist. Aids in Potato Production. First. A more liberal use of potato seed will generally result in both increased production and profit. Second. A good storage place is essential in order to insure sound, firm seed or planting time. Third. The use of high grade seed would increase the returns from the potato crop of the country by many millions of dollars. Fourth. All seed should be treated with formalin before planting to prevent cab. LIVE STOCK NOTES. Corn is a common food for hogs, but when it is in the roasting ear stage it should be used in limited quantities. Experiments show little profit is secured by cooking, grinding and soaking corn for hogs. Bacon that commands top market price is usually of a good thickness with less fat and a greater per cent of lean meat, closely interspersed in the fat tissue. At this season of the year it is well to remember that barnyard manure is a valuable and perishable product. No system of storing has entirely done away with losses in connection with it. The liquid may run away and the soluble plant food leak out, or the nitrogen is lost by heating.

Villageir Stefanessen, the Casual fan explorer, who was believed lost to the Arctic, not only is alive and we but has discovered a new land in the north, and a compliled practically every purpose for which his hairstory journey was undertaken, according to word brought to Nome, Alaska by the power schooner Ruby, which arrived from Heschel Island. Stefanessen, with two companions Storker Storkerson and Ole Anderson, set out from Martin Point, Alaska, March 22, 1914, over the frozen polar ocean in search for supposed new lands in the Heschel sea. Captain S. F. Cottle, master of the Ruby, says that Stefanson is now on Banks Land, east of the Mackenzie outfitting for continuance of the explorations to the westward to ascertain the full extent of the new land he has discovered southwest of Prince Patrick Island. Stefanson discovered a continuation of the continental shelf several degrees west of Bank Land and even determined its southern limits, but was unable to continue his explorations to the north and west. Stefansson told Capital magazine that after leaving the supporting party on the ice north of Martin Point he and his hardy companions set their faces to the north, but after continuing their journey ninety days they decided to return to land. They turned back and landed on the mainland at a point near which the power boat Mary Sack of the Stefansson expedition, was wintering. Here the men continued for another three months' trip. They again went up the ice, golden north and west and discovering the continental shelf. Stefanson spent some time exploring his new land, but at length, owing to security of provisions, was compelled to set out on the return journey to land. The men had been in the fee for nearly seven months. The return to shore was accomplished with great difficulty. The men subsisted, on the most messier ration, but kept moving day after day. The dogs were almost famished. Finally the party arrived at Banks Land thoroughly worn out. For seven months they had been on gyrant rations, travelling almost continually. Stefansson and his companions made their way from Banks Land which is uninhabited, to Baillie Island which is visited by whalers. Captain Louis Lane, cruising on his power schooner Polar Bear, found Stefansson and his companions making their way along the southwestern coast of Baillie Island. They were in excellent health and spirits and eager to reach the southern wing of the expedition, that they might obtain supplies and continue their explorations Stefansson had expected to fall in with the Polar Bear, just as he did. He immediately chartered the schooner and, with Captain Lane, proceeded northward at once in the hope of making further discoveries while the sea was open and free of ice. The sea season was too far advanced, however, and the explorers reluctantly steered for Herschel Island. --- United States dollars command a bigger premium abroad than over before but no one relibes the job of going over to collect it. In "Forty Years on the Stage" the author, John-II. Barnes, has this to say of Lucy Raymond, "that wonderful old woman," with whom he often played: "If it were possible for her to be funnier than when she was speaking her lines it was when she forgot them. Her perplexity was sidesplitting. On the first night of H. J. Bison's 'Our Soldiers' she had to say to Miss Kate Bishop: 'Shakespeare says, 'What's in a name?' I say everything.' Under the influence of first night nervousness her mind wandered temporarily, and she said, hattlingly and spasmodically: 'Somebody says: 'Who is it? Is it Chaucer or Sir Benjamin Johnson or Shakespeare or some of those old gentlemen you see in Westminster abbey? What's in a name?' Byron, who was standing by, shook with laughter and immediately said: 'Well, I can't write anything as funny as that. I'll put that in.' And it will be found incorporated in the printed book of the play as sold today." Sierra Pan.

Herr von Klitz, who intended to support himself by giving lessons in his native tonne. When he had been here several months and had secured a moderate number of pupils he went one day to the mother of one of them anal, to her surprise, asked for her daughter's hand in marriage. "But, my dear son," said she, "my daughter has no fortune." The sister stalled upon her in an expansive graceosity. "Me, trot," said she reassuringly. "Me, too." said he resurrectingly. "And, all he thought we are not rich, we have thus far been able to give her every comfort. She is indeed used to luxury." "Me, too!" was the smiling responder. "But, her von Blitz, she will never be able to manage affairs." "Me, too," replied the lover. "And I feel obliged to tell you that my daughter has a very high temper." "Me, too, too." "That was enough. The mother retired from the contest, and the professor won his suit. Took the Hint. Once, when G. K.

Presently one of the ladies pointed to one of the candies on the table and examined, "Oh, look at that wretched candle! How it's smoking!" Chesterton turned to her with a sigh "Lucky candle," he said enviously. The hostess took the bing at once and smiling rose and quitted the room with the other ladies, leaving the famous writer and the rest of the male guests free to enjoy "My Lady Nighttime" in peace. Stopping to the Trash As former Commissioner Martin Littleton tells the tale, a railroad was built through an obscure corner of a state where no railroads ever had the hardship to venture before. On the day the first train ran over the time the engineer, putting out from a small way station, discovered that a country boy was riding a horse between the rails a short distance ahead. The engineer sounded his whistle again and again, but the rider only lashed his horse into a gallop and made no effort to turn off into the farm lands which flanked the right of way. At the end of a mileled chase the locomotive was so close upon the laboring horse that the cowcatcher at most touched its blind heeF. The posted engineer leaned out of his cab window.

BOWSER He Is Not Always a Faddist. By M. QUAD. Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate. The other day Mr. Bowser left his office at noon to go home and do some tinkering around the house. When within five or six blocks from home he got off the car to see why a crowd had collected on a corner. He found that a city marshal and an assistant were carrying furniture from an old ten- ment and placing it on the sidewalk, and there was much laughing and jeer- ing over the displaced pieces. There were three weeping and very ragged children standing around, and the sight of them made Mr. Bowser demand of one of the crowd: "What is going on here?" "They are evading a woman upstairs," was the reply. "What for?" "They say she is slick and can't pay her rent." "Sick? Sick? And expecting a slick woman to pay her rent? Are these her children? And is this her old stuff?" "I guess so." "Well, I'll be sure of it," said Mr. Bowser as he walked upstairs. He entered a small, small room just two men were lifting a slick woman COREY PARKING FURNITURE FROM AN OLD TENNISM off the bed on to the floor. I was in white as a short and small that she did not even paint. "What in the mind are you doing?" shouted Mr. Bowser. The men lifted the women back on the bed, and then the officer looked up and impaired. "Who are you, and what is your business? "My name is Bowser, and I came here just in time to see a sick woman treated as few men would treat a dog. What do you mean by it? "I have my orders to evict her for nonpayment of rent." "And did you have orders to kill her in doing it? I denounce it as a shame and disgrace on humanity." "I am the owner of the buildings, said a man as he came upstairs and confronted Mr. Bowser. "But I am not to blame for her sickness, and I must have my money because I am a poor man." "How much rent does she owe you?" "Eight dollars." "And for $8 you would have a dying woman flung into the gutter! That's it! The poor are always talking about how the rich oppress them. It is not so. It is the poor that oppress the poor. This is a fine case of it." Mr. Bower went walking around the room, snutting and sniffing and peering, and returned to the man to say: "Has the board of health ever inspected this place?" The man did not answer. There is hardly a whole pane of glass in the windows; there are two or three leaks in the roof; the water pipes are out of order, and the place is so full of odors and smells that a decent farmer wouldn't use it for a hogpen. This woman may owe you $8, but she shall never pay it. She is going to leave here in a few minutes, and if you ever bother her or let a new tenant in here before making it a decent place I'll see that you will have to pay a smart fine for it! The owner and the officer looked at each other and then went downstairs together. The woman had not spoken. Only now and then had she opened her open. Mr. Howser bent over her, but he saw that she was too sick to talk. Therefore said: "Don't you worry, good woman. I going to move you and the children another place and see that you are wet two blocks down or fifteen minutes had passed before the sound Then finished out to a nearby furniture store and bought a new bedstand, mattress and springs and several articles of furniture and had them taken to the room at once. Then he went back and told the sick woman's children, who were still waiting at the door as they watched that the old furniture was not being carried off, to sit with their mother and be of good cheer. Then he entered a grocery, half a block away, and said to the grocer: "I want to give you an order for about $10 worth of things, and have them sent to Mrs. Merkle at No. 224, this street." "Ah! That is the sick woman who was to be exiled today?" "It was, sir." "But I could not send her any groceries. She has owed me a bill of 45 cents more than two months. I can give her no more credit." "You blamed scallywag!" shouted Mr. Bowser as he pounded on the counter. "Did I say that she wanted credit? Haven't I get the money right in my fist to pay for the order?" The greeter turned red and pale and tried to stammer out something. "And, see here, sir," continued Mr. Bowser as his anger grew; "you heard that a poor widow, sick, helpless and hungry, was going to be evicted. Did you walk down there and offer any help?" "Noooo." "You didn't even go down to tell her that you would forgive her debt of 45 cents. You have fifty leaves of bread here. You didn't carry one down there? In fact, you didn't care a rap about the whole thing." "I am a very busy man, sir," humbly replied the greeter. "Yes, I see you are. You are busy grabbing every cent in sight, and the poor around you might starve to death for any of your charity. We will make out a list, and I will pay for it, and you musthe the things along and let them be of full weight and good measure. Your scales are correct, are they?" "Oh, yes, yes, yes." "There would be need of coal and kindling at the new place, and Mr. Bowser stopped and ordered them." "It is for the wallow Merkle, is 177, asked the small dealer." "Yes." "She owes 21 cents and don't pay. I like that money. She buy coal of me for three years and then beat me out of 21 cents." "You infernal hyena!" roared Mr. Rowser at him. "Twenty three cents! Twenty three cents!" She has bought coal of you for three years, and you have cheated her every time she has given an order, and yet you are bunging off about an old debt of 23 cents! Say, man, you ought to be tarred and feathered. "Well, I take some coal and kindling to her," grimmed the magist, who did not wish to provide Mr. Rowser any further. "I take up this nice bag of coal of seventy five pounds." "You take it into this but her shop first," and Mr. Rowser, who had a good eye for weights and measures. "But that but her man, he don't like me and tell me to keep way out of the shop." "Well, you come in just the same, and if the butcher up I may have something to say to him. But that tag on the sale." The man made a way face and hesitated, but he had look at it. The weight was six seven pounds. "You are a 21 year old," said Mr. Howser. "You are going to cheat the widow again before she could die. It is such villains as you that make half the world hard hearted. Here is your money for the other, and don't eat up any of the holdings on your way there. Mr. Howser had one more errand. He got the name of a doctor who had made the widow two visits and had failed to come again and telephoned him. "Is this Dr. Blake?" "Yes, sir." "Were you over here to see the widow Merkle?" "I was over there a couple of times, but I found she couldn't pay the bill, and so I didn't come again." "What was your diagnosis?" "Mulatta." "Well, you bustle over here and see if it is the same thing yet. I want to get the medicine for her." "Will you pay for the three visits?" asked the doctor. "I'll pay half the bill, and you will tack the other half on to the bill of some rich man. That's the custom of the doctors, I understand." The doctor came. The prescription was filled, and a bottle of tonic was to be taken after the medicine was finished. It was 7 o'clock in the evening when Mr. Bowser said to the woman: "The doctor tells me that you will be up at your work again in a couple of weeks. But don't be in a hurry. Your rent is paid a long time ahead, you have got plenty to eat, and there is nothing for you to worry about." "But you have not told me your name," replied the woman, who seemed a good deal better since the change in her fortune. "Oh, never mind that till I come next time." Mr. Bowser went home and never mentioned a word of the incident, nor did he go back to the house of the widow. Two weeks had passed away when one evening the doorbell rang, and Mrs. Bowser answered it. After a minute she went back to Mr. Bowser to say: "Here is the woman and three children who want to see what they call the 'good' man. Do they mean you?" "I guess not," he blushed. But the widow and children came in and told their story and repeated their thanks a hundred times over, and when they had gone Mrs. Bower said: "Mr. Bowerer, you provoke me a hundred times a year, but you are the best husband in this whole world. Kiss me." And when Mr. Bowerer kissed her they both had tears in their eyes.

Keep the baby out of doors. This is the only time on nowadays to parents by even close playtime. Keep the baby in winter, begin when the baby is too cold to take him out for a few minutes every day in mild, pleasant weather, increasing the time gradually and he is staying out most of the time. Probably no other thing will do much to ensure a healthy babyhood as this, and the result will well repay whatever trouble is necessary to see it. With the exceptions mentioned below, a baby is spent practically all the time out of doors, both sleeping and walking. If there is some one to look after him to see that he is protected against sun, wind and dangerous insects. A young baby may stay in his carriage or erib on the porch on the roof, under the trees or in the back yard, where the busy mother can look after him. Older babies who need exercise may be kept in a creeping pen either on the porch or in the yard. If it is not feasible to provide out of door sleeping places for these older babies, at least the windows of the nursery should be kept wide open most of the year. When the weather is very cold, as in winter in the north, when the snow is melting or when there is a heavy storm in progress or a high wind blowing quantities of dust about, it will be best to give the labe his airing indoors or on a protected porch. Dress him as for going out, open all the windows wide and let him remain in the fresh air for some time. Very young or delicate babies require much heat and must be very warmly covered to protect them against being chilled, and a baby under three months of age should not be taken in severe weather, but plenty of fresh air is essential to all babies. When the weather is excessively hot the baby should be taken out early in the day and then kept indoors until the late afternoon. From that time on until the rooms have cooled in the evening be should be kept out, being well protected from mosquitoes. If a screened porch is available the health and comfort of the baby will be greatly increased. A word of caution should be given as to the danger of young children climbing up to open windows and falling out. If the windows have screens they should be so carefully fastened in that there is no possibility of pounding them out.

The baby's eyes and head should always be carefully shaded from the direct sunlight. This is just as important while he is asleep as while awake. Do not allow the baby to be starting up into the sky, even when the sun is not shining. Great care should be taken to protect the baby from flies and mosquitoes. If the house is not provided with screens the baby's bed, crib or carriage should be covered with netting suspended over a pole or two clotheslines in the form of a tent so as not to shut off the air. Never lay a netting directly over the baby's face. Beauty and Good Habita It is impossible to be beautiful without being healthy. Health is the foundation of beauty. If one wants to be really beautiful the beauty must be more than skin deep. The trouble with most people is that they are quite satisfied with a beauty that is superficial enough to detect the oniokoker. Beauty includes vigor and efficiency. To be really beautiful one must have not only a beautiful face, but beautiful hands as well, not simply a good complexion for the face, but a good complexion all over. Not infrequently a person's body is covered with pimples. With such bleemishes on the face one would feel very badly, but so long as they are out of sight they are not regarded. The only way to be really beautiful is to live beautifully, to live rightly. That means to live naturally. For example, if one is aiming to be beautiful one must eat beautiful things, because our bodies are made of what we eat. If one eats the beautiful fruits and nuts that are hung from the trees, inviting us to reach up and partake—if one eats these and other natural foods that nature has prepared for us, that are all pure and clean, then one may have normal, clean blood, and the result of good, clean blood will be a clean skin and a good composition.

The refuge harbor is to be filled in inside Cape Lookout to include one mile square. The cost of building the breakwater and of protecting the entrance channel to the harbor may reach $3,520,000. The records show that during the past ten years 131 lives have been lost and $2,500,000 worth of shipping has been destroyed off the Hatteras section of the Atlantic coast. With the opening of the Panama route and the consequent increase of shipping that will move across Hatteras the providing of a refuge for shipping below the region of the notorious marine graveyard has become imperative. It speaks well for the agricultural industry of this country that 60 per cent of the farms are worked by their owners, that 80 per cent of the farms owned are free from encumbrance and that of those owned as investments 40 per cent are unequumbered.

We have been shown that the effect of microtubule shows that we have reached the goal of our work. You are a student of the university alphabet by birth. After attending a performance and waterfront exhibition even before you graduate. --- --- We have a problem with the way we are handling the data. We need to be more careful about how we are processing the data. The professors of the second people course at the university have the white people. The professors have hurt the gentlemen of the university but will improve the white folks more. Trouble is a part of the training that the colored people and the white folks must undergo in the struggle of life. To try to avoid it cowardly, to meet it like a veteran, noble. We are of the opinion that the Summer High School, Poor Frank L. WILLIAMS, principal of the first class reply to Thomas DINOSA, books and the moving pictures, resulting from The British allies and the Germanic allies are badly engaged in slaughter each other. To continue the struggle is the intention of both sides. At present the Germans seem to have the upper hand The highest ambition of most of our young people is to have a good time. If they would find it in labor instead of solely in pleasure resorts, the race would advance materially and the individuals would acquire wealth. --- Rev. Dr. W. F. GRAHAM resolved a scalp wound while protesting against the presentation of the play of "The Birth of a Nation." Well, he was wounded in a good cause. Dr. GRAHAM is "true blue," although his assailant tried to make him "a false red." The present age is one of sin and selfishness, of frivolity and foolishness. The rising generation proceeds by the easiest route and great problems are avoided. This merely the demonstration of the fact that human beings are not capable of selflessness. Our educational institutions are doing a good work, but it is much of the material being sent to these educational institutions which is doing poor work. When parents transfer a diffident, slothful child from an institution of learning that demands that the standard set by the school be reached rather than that the standard be brought down to the level of the student, then conditions in the country will change and the progress of the colored people multiplied. --- A PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATE. It is reported that Hon William Howie Tait is being groomed for the office of President of the United States. We believe that thousands of people who formerly looked upon him with behavior now advocate his renunciation. For our part, we had hoped that a attendant man would present himself to advocate for this office. Mr. Todd is growing in popularity every day and he is showing that he has experienced his back being somewhat dealing with great questions. Still he is not in a position to be involved with the vital questions now concerning the welfare of the nation. Mrs. Lifton Root is a typical statesman who has the courage of the investigation and who does not attempt to answer them. While he will not have a candidate it is clear that a number of his type and manner will be found to lead the final battle to victory in the next potential contest. THE BIRTH OF A NATION. We are not surprised that the col- lective people in our leading offices have presented an attack on the production of The Birth of a Nation." We had the fortune to witness the play recently the Saved The People in San Prairie, California and afterwards to watch the bonds from Los Angeles, Californi- e. We also profiled theother actors who have been the Kap Klay Klay an actress who practiced costume worked on another actress at work upon the North, that applied the Union and the United States, who saved it from the hands of the boarded, loyal colored people who have won the last battle against the white people of the Southland. Looking at all the examples in paragraph 10, we are of the opinion that Northern people, who are more inured and accustomed by this production method, stated it we can do it. The author of the play shows the liability of the old time black manmy to the extent of showing that she fought her own people to their behalf and in this she was accustomed by the other family servants but this is more than counterbalanced by the attempted assault of a white girl by a black man, who was for her death. of attaining to show that this was the name of the organization of the kind of kindred known as the KKL. A boat. A Northern state man is embarked with meeting colored people the native and hardier and a colored man of the later type is shown as approaching to the hand of a white girl of the north. When we received that all of these were made up near Los Angeles and that they had no existence in fact, we were impressed with the cruelty of some portion of the American people. The play should necessarily be examined by both the white and the colored people. It misrepresents the facts and it stirs up the worst prejudices between the races. We hope that God may forgive the author of the play, but how the sons and daughters of the Northerners, who have been maligned and misrepresented by these pictures can forgive him is a mystery to us. As we have previously stated, the play misrepresents the Northerners, much more than it does anybody else. The only difference is that they are better able to stand it than are the colored people of the United States, who are earnestly striving to obtain for themselves a place in the sun. NEGRO LOSES FOOT AT BELT LINE CROSSING. William Gailor, Colored, 200 N. Belvidero Street, was run over by a Richmond, Frederickburg and Potomac Railroad train at the Patterson Avenue crossing of the Belt Line last night, and suffered the loss of one foot. The Negro was also cut about the head and badly bruised about the body. He was taken to the Memorial Hospital. Gailor, with several companions, was motoring late last night. As the car was crossing the railway track the Negro notched the train bearing down upon the car, which was then directly on the track Gailor thougst the machine was about to be struck and leaped over the cover, which was folded back. The machine with the other Negroes continued on to safety, while Gailor fell directly in front of the train. Before he was able to drag himself off the tracks his ankle had been run over and his foot cut off. He was rolled over and over and dragged a short distance. Ambulance Surgeon Anderson answered a hurry call to the scene and found the Negro in a serious condition. He rendered his emergency medical services to the Memorial THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. NEWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA Florence, S.C. September 29.—Value may be placed upon thoughts as well as upon ware. As the value of land differs so does the value of thought. The other day I stopped under a tree to rest awhile. During five minutes I found myself thinking, thinking. If those thoughts had been smoothed out and piled up under that tree and sold to the highest bidder for cash, I doubt them bringing as much cash as a Georgia mountain-sprout watermelon. Them again as soon as I awoke on last Saturday A. M. my first thought was worth its weight in gold. When one finds his auto of no service he exchanges it for a new one, then when you see as you can see that a thought is no good, swap for one that is. That was a valuable thought that pictured the Brooklyn bridge before it was. That was a thought of no value of Aaron Burr's which tepided a great Empire west of the Mississippi. The value of some thoughts is like the walnut. You must rack it before you can tell of its worth. For one whole day I thought of a certain act but not until the sun went down did I see for a moment that the thought was of no value. On Saturday the second of October I will visit Darfur and leave that city for Riverdale to visit my old friend and in particular the Moses I will breakfast with Mr George Moses, after peeling the night and style over to Miss Kate Moses for dinner. Miss Kate is a fine cook. I presuppose that that old dominick is now in something that it might all be well arranged in arrival. And old how I look for "them" sweet potato pies and fresh butter piks and ham sandwiches. It is enough to a must make a bane man throws down his cate and walk, just to think of the good things in store for me. I will find time to see Mergers Sam time and May Moss. I will leave Miss Kate Sunday if M. after dinner. If I am able. Then to treat a church where I attended school years ago. I will enjoy a ride through the country and if in raubbling I chance to see a library tree robbed of its back I will say. Yes, that is where I got my hickey rope from many years ago. It happened that I espied a small boy lying on the ground on the Sabbath day while the people were at church. I had a part to a cousin and he was a real cousin, too. Whatever I said was a joke. Between the weeks we paused up a hickory sapphire and pealed it at white as the tip of a citron time planted the rope and deposited it in an oak bush. On Sunday morning when the draws of a cattle raiser to a half mile from home We at once mobbed our Texas penny and roped him. But it was in June and the heat had taken all the vitality out of our rope. So our young friend soon freed himself but we were not to be outdone. While the door in the old meeting house a tree away was singing. "Nearer My God to Thee," and other anthems our friend was enjoying it. We stepped home to his house and stole the only plough line he had and yoked our penny. But oh what a time we had that Sunday. We had to dine on wheaten berries and pray fortuitly to the Lord to spare us from the evil consequences of that wifful doel. Some day I will tell the whole story. Mrs. Kate and her brother, George have not been so well recently, but are rapidly improving. I pane to visit Providence Baptist Church at morning service. Rev H. C. Cooper is pastor. I will be glad also to meet my old friend, Senior Season Brother Wingate of the Providence Baptist Church.

Harper passed through the city enroute to Montrose, G. Mr. M. H. Ham, of Chatham, V. passed through the city recently enroute for home. He was with the expert tobacco man. Mrs M. J. Gilhard, a trained nurse of Charleston, S. C. after spending a short while visiting friends at Rocky Mount. N. C. is now spending a short while in Florence, visiting Mrs Frances Lihone and Mr Maud, Mrs Prince Jordan Mr W. H. Thomas, one of the leading Negro farmers of the State, after watching the cotton market for several days and noting the disposition to rise up with the tide, was among the first today to take advantage of the high price and with a flight equal to that of the Condor of the Andes mountains in South America. He gathered the highest bid of the cotton buyers in his tabula and after soaring above the loftest tree rested upon a mountain crest with a check, good at the First National for a bale of the fleece staple at 31 cents per pound. Mr. Thomas has 27 bales of last year's cotton on hand. This week he sold 1200 pounds of tobacco, which netted him $174.60. Miss Mabel Gandy of Clio, S. C. passed through the city recently returning from Ashville, N. C. She very much enjoyed her stay I visited Marlon on Sunday, September 25th and spoke at the A. M. F. Church in the morning and visited the Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church in the afternoon. I found Brother C. F. Reeves superintendent, conducting a quarterly review of the sabbath school lesson. It was one of the finest quarterly Sunday School lesson reviews that I ever heard. Mrs. Ida Bell Reeves is organist and plays with case even now pieces. Mrs. Dr. Louise R. Murry is secretary and treasurer of the Sabbath School. I saw quite a number of parents and full grown people in school. The little children played well their part in the review exercise. This is a live Sunday School and is doing its part in keeping the church. They purchased a pulpit set and organ for both church and Sunday School. After I spoke on Sunday P. M., the school presented Mrs. Dr. Murry, the secretary and treasurer, with a little book. Short talk on temperance, also to their worthy superintendent they presented Hiscock's Church Directory. Yes, all is well that ends well. An invitation was extended me by Rev. and Mrs. D. C. Doss of Marmion to do duty at the A. M. percentage at two districts; I accepted the invitation. On my way to the station I met Rev. A. W. Hays and Prof. Ellerbea. There was a crowd of people at the station. I left for Florence at 6:37 LAKE CITY. S. C. I spent Saturday, the 25th at Lake City. I did a nice business and was treated with much kindness by both white and colored. A Mrs. Fullmore invited me to dinner, but I was too busy. But next time I shall avail myself of the opportunity. I met my old friend, Rev. Graham, who left on the evening train with me for his church in Darlington county. At the regular service at Cumberland M. E. Church Sunday P. M. candidates to the General South Carolina Conference were balloted for. Rev. C. R. Brown, Mr. Joe Gates and the pastor, Rev. J. B. Taylor acted as tellers. The candidates were Rev. N. H.

Munke Braggs, found horribly madered in a trunk was the daughter of Mrs. Amanda Bravey, 15212 Vim state street, at the time of her brorers in Kansas City, Mo., and one of Texas, and a son twelve years old who lived with her mother. Mrs. Braggs was living on the seventh floor of the Flatts building, 3633 State street, at the time of her brutal murder by her husband, Edward Braggs. The appearance of her body showed a struggle had taken place. She evidently fought hard to save her life, as her thunb was cut to the bone and her hand cut in the palm. Two light cuts on the breast showed she had thrown her arms up, which prevened the knife from going in deeply; also two cuts on the head, in the temple and her head smashed on the side show that a blunt instrument was brought into play to end the struggle, it seems; and then her throat cut, and the left carotid artery arteries cut in two. The story of the case as our reporter gets it is that the body may have been in the trunk since Thursday, as the roomer was unable to get in the house on that night because a key in the door prevented him from using it and repeated knocks brought no response, so he rented a room on that night, and returned again to his house Friday evening and was greeted by Edward Braggs as usual. He went to his room and on Saturday he and Braggs were in the house when Braggs called his attention to see what was in the street and asked him to see what was the excitement. He told Braggs that he was not curious, and Braggs said "Well I'll see Walt here until I return." And that was the last seen of Braggs. Brown, an inhabitant of the vicinity, says that on Friday he was paid 20 cents by braggs to help him frame the seventh floor to the ground with a trunk, and, on remarking about it being heavy, braggs said there was tools of his in it, and he thought no more about it until he again saw the trunk at E. T. Hills undertaking establishment before the inquest. The trunk had been discovered by two boys digging for fish bait. They noticed a shade and shovel and were glad to procure them to help them in. courtesies, they removed the second tray and behold the corpse, whereupon they fled. They found Polleman Johnson near Thirty Fifth street and told their story. He returned with the boys to the scene of the trunk in the lot adjoining the Pullman Hotel. He called up the station and reported the murder. Permission to move the body was given by the coroner, and the inquest was held Monday morning at E. T. Hills, undertaker, 3601 State street. The verdict was that the victim met her death by hemorrhage produced by a sharp instrument in the hands of one Edward Braggs. The funeral of Mrs. Braggs was held Wednesday morning at $ of clock, from the chapel of E. T. Hill, undertaker, and interred at Mt. Glennwood. Mrs. Harvey mother of the shamian and one sister from Kansas City Mo., attended the funeral. Edward Braggs is still at large, but his capture is hourly expected. (Chicago Defender) --- 4. NEGRO'S CORN WAS BEST. The white man made a path yesterday day to the shabby door of N. C. Bruce a Negro. Bruce, Friday's news dis patches said, had won a championship medal for the best Missouri corn shown at the Panama Pacific Exposition. Bruce last year raised fifty acres of corn that averaged 114 bushels to the acre. It was this corn that won him the world's fair medal. It also won him the distinction of second place among all corn exhibitors at the Frisco fair. An Illinois man took first prize with a yield of 127 bushels to the acre. And the reporter for the Star found that growing championship corn was only a by-product of Bruce's efforts. Making Negro boys and girls better more useful and convented citizens is Bruce's main work and he is doing that on the top of a hill at Dalton. Mo. on a farm that is part farm and part school. Dalton is a town on the Wabash railway in Charlton County about one hundred miles from Kansas City. "Missouri has been paying too much attention to the mule," said Bruce, "and not enough attention to the Negro. They should be, linked together. That's what we are trying to do in this place. That corn shows how well that combination fitted to do that kind of work. It took the $991 last prize at the University of Missouri last year and there were two thousand Missouri farmers competing for that prize. We try to give them more." in alaska clover, plowed it eight or nine inches deep and disliked it. About April we plowed it again, disliked it and then just before corn planting time we disliked it and ran a smoothing harrow over it. It was cultivated six times. People passing by used to say, "How'd that nigger get that corn?" He got it by linking the Missouri Negro and the Missouri Negro. Bruce is principal of the Barlett Agricultural and Industrial School, an organization supported entirely by private subscriptions of white people and by the efforts of the students. There are 108 pupils in the school from 14 years up. All are taught reading, writing, mathematics, physics, history, grammar, chemistry and kindred studies. TRYING TO BETTER THE NEGRO We're not educating our boys to be teachers or Pullman porters or things like that," Bruce said. We're giving them real work and there is nothing like work on a farm to make a chesty and topheney Negro level headed. They get book learning each morning. But first they get religious training taught the practical application of religion, to know that each one must keep his word always, must tell the truth and must pay his debts. In the afternoon everybody works. The girls go to the laundry, the kitchen or do sewing. They scrub floors and windows and learn housework thoroughly, and white people who have them in their homes after they leave here have competent, self-respecting girls. The boys do all kinds of farming, carpentry work and all that must be done on a place of 189 acres like this. We have to feed ourselves."

However there seems to be quite a few of our women who enjoy the unmonthly manners of these collectors. There is no reason why the Colored patrons of these white insurance companies, furniture dealers and mercantile companies should not be treated courteous by their collectors. The blame in many cases is to be laid at the door of the Colored women who are patrons of these companies This week we saw a Colored insurance man enter a Colored home; he leaved, pulled off his hat and left his cigar on the fence. After transaction his business he bade her attention, thanking her for her patronage, which was exactly right. Just a little later in the day we saw a white collector strup to a Colored woman's door without knocking removing his hat or taking from his mouth his cigar; he entered without addressing her and insured "Get anything for me today." with her mouth open (she started to grin as soon as she saw him) grinning like a cheescat; she dug into her apron pocket for the money (Without thanking to your homes before you got out her book and walked away, while she stood in the door grinning. She like many others of our women are guilty of these kinds of stunts. The Negro women of Galveston should demand the respect of these white collectors, and if they refuse make them stay away from their homes. Stop them from coming to your homes before you get out of bed. Cut out your familiarity with them; stop grinding at them; what does a white man care about your grina? What business has a white, collector sitting or standing around in your rooms, you just out of bed, he joking you about how fat you are getting? "We have seen this done in the presence of husbands and brothers and, they like circus clowns join in the grinding. Are you less human than the white woman, that you should not demand respect as they do? Husbands should have these foplish collectors to understand a few things; the women should unite against these illmannered scamps. We have a colored Insurance Company here, employing a half dozen or more colored men and women as collectors and solicitors who will be too glad to respect you and accord all the courtesy and politeness due every woman. If our race can rise no higher than the standard of our women, it is up to the colored women of Galveston to start the scale upward. These white collectors are no better than the Colored man; if we must call you Miss, Mrs, or Madam and take our hats off to get your patronage, then the white collector should do the same and will do it if you demand it. It is not social equality the race wants; but its rights, privileges respect and protection.—Galveston New Idea. The New Idea hit upon a vital point. If you must deal with them go to the office and settle and keep agents away from home. The white collector and white agent are a manace and a nuisance all over the South The Independent complaints of the insolent collector of Georgia. On our last trip over to Louisiana we found him in the Colored people's quarters in the back yard and alley, in the home with his hat on and on the gallery and in the parlor smoking and chatting in such an uncouth manner as to seem to cut out all notions of segregation and social equality. We invite segregation of the right kind and oppose social equality of the wrong kind. Our allly women, and even too many of our giddy headed men grin too much; they grin when they ought to be serious; they grin and put on a broad smile too often at the very time when they should be serious and thoughtful. As a whole we are the most of the happy and lucky order vases, apes and baboons. Let the slogan be against social equality of the wrong kind, and for sogregation of the right kind..

Details of fighting between natives and American forces near Cape Haltien, in which John Platt, a sergeant of marines, was killed, ten marines were wounded, and more than fifty Haytians were killed, reached the navy department in messages from Hear Admiral Caperton.

The marine patrols had been sent out to clear the lines of supply from Cape Halten to the Interior. The first expedition sent out Satur day afternoon, to Haut du Cap and Petit Anse, near the city, and on the main line of supplies, passed native outposts, whose commander objected to the expedition, but offered no resistance. The next day, two patrols went out again, and after the expedition reached Haut du Cap, firing became general and both patrols were engaged! About fifty natives were killed. The patrols returned to Cape Hattien, last night, and Admiral Caperton reported the supply routes had been completely cleared of hostile forces. A later message said Captain Underwood led an expedition of fifty mounted marines to Petit Rivere and Dalarte Bonnite Sunday, and encountered the armed Haytians. They were driven into the hills after a vigorous skirmish, in which Platt mist his death two natives were killed and three natives wounded. The martines are holding the two towns, where quiet has been restored. Six Die, Many Hurt at Street Drops Six persons were killed and between eleven fifty and one hundred others injured when a dynamite blast in a partly constructed section of the Seventh avenue subway in New York caused an entire block of pavement to cave in, engulfing a crowded surface car, a heavy truck and many pedestrians. A number of laborers at work in the excavation were buried under tons of debris. Seventy-eight persons, a considerable number of them being women and girls on their way to business, were on the surface car, which dropped thirty feet into the excavation and was partly buried under concrete, rails, heavy timbers, dirt and rocks. The dynamic blast, which resulted in the cave-in, was set off almost directly under Seventh avenue and Twenty-fifth street, according to Chief Engineer Jones, of the construction company. He told the fire commissioner the blast had hurled a large rock against portions of the underpinning, knocking this away and allowing the pavement overhead and portions of the dirt sidewalls to collapse. Groom Weds Bridesmaid. Jilted at the altar when his bride-elect failed to appear at the appointed time, Michael Ziegler, of Larksville, near Ashley, Pa., married the bridesmaid at the home of his promised bride's parents. The bride-to-be, it was learned, boarded a train to Buffalo and on the same train was a young man from Wilkes-Barre, it is said, and news of an elopement is expected. Every arrangement for the wedding of Ziegler with Margaret Goblin had been arranged and the guests were arriving when the disappearance of the bride-to-be was noted. Ziegler then appeal to Mary Nobel, who was to have been the bridesmaid, and after a few whispered words a ceremony was performed, the bridesmaid becoming Mrs. Ziegler. Woman Falls Dead on Street Car. A plainly dressed middle-aged woman boarded a south-bound Sixth avenue car in New York at Forty-second street.

A Worthy Young Business Man of the Metropolis A Prominent Young Negro Of Toronto. Story Of How J. W. Montgomery Became Private Secretary To The Chief Justice Of Canada Rev. Prime Building Up Strong U. A. M. E. Center In The Metropolis Negroes Organizing Clyde League Throughout Massachusetts. Edward Sharpe Of Springfield Leading Figure In Movement An Ambitious Young College Man. Allen's National News Bureau. 252 West Fifty-third street. New York City, Sept. 20, 1915 Last week your correspondent interviewed John Graves an enterprising young merchant of Columbus Ohio who was spending a few days in this city on business. Mr. Graves is one of the Leading merchants in the middle-west and his rise to prominence is such as to give inspiration to other young men who are anxious to succeed. Mr. Graves went to Columbus when he was nineteen and began to paddle vegetables on paddle with a capital of $6.00. He built up a steady trade and four years ago opened, his present establishment which is one of the leading stores in the city of Columbus. He carries a complete line of groceries, vegetables and tobacco. Mr. Graves told your correspondent that his business was steadily on the increase and the outlook indicated that it will soon ripen into one of the most creditable movements in the west. While in this city Mr. Graves looked for some of the enterprises that are conductive members of the race especially in Harlem where like a population of 45,000 of our people. Your correspondent is glad to call attention to young men who are succeeding as businessmen. A WORTHY BUSINESS MAN OF THE METROPOLIS Among the young men of this city who are making good in their line is Thomas B. Johnson who is a Real estate and Insurance broker. Mr. Johnson has given special study to these two branches and is making success in both endowors. As a Real estate man Mr. Johnson has succeeded in interacting a large number of our people in suburban property which is enabling them to get away from the crowded districts of the city Mr. Johnson believes that the big groes should get away from the large centers like New York and seek suburban property where they may open small farms and raise products Mr. Johnson has also done well as an loss of the city. Mr. Johnson is in work and as a real estate man he is in a position to do the race much good. THE RISE OF A YOUNG NEGRO. Few members of the race realize the large number of young men of the race who are holding creditable positions that are reflecting highly upon the integrity and capacity of the Negro. Perhaps one of the most responsible positions that is held by a member of the race, and one which many white men would delight in having in the position held by J. W. Montgomery, a young colored man of Toronto Canada, who is the private secretary to Chief Justice Sir. William Merodin one of the most prominent men throughout Canada. Mr. Montgomery who was appointed to this office nine years ago has entire charge of the private matters of this noted official and is the only clerk in the office of Chief Justice Merodin. Mr. Montgomery is holding his office purely on merit and the splendid satisfaction that he has given in this exacting office, where the rarest diplomacy, tact and education are required is an accomplishment that any young man of the race may be well proud of. Mr. Montgomery told your correspondent in an interview last week, while on a visit to this city, his rise to his present high office of responsibility and trust. He told your correspondent that he was born in Kentucky, but when a mere child went to Toronto, Canada, where he was reared by his Gandmother. He was educated in the public schools of Canada, and began his career as a barber in Chatham, Ont., a suburb of Toronto. His activity in politics secured for him, a position as messenger in the Parliament building at Toronto, and for eight years he worked in this capacity where he came in intimate contact with the most influential men of Canada. While serving in the office he showed great aptitude, skill, education and the attention of the people. When a secretary was needed to the Chief Justice Mr. is one of the most noted personalities in Canada. He told your correspondent that a suite of rooms were maintained for him at Osborne Hall where he and his wife reside. Osborne Hall is one of the buildings connected with Parliament and which has also the office of the chief officials of the Dominion. Mr. Montgomery's office gives him a fine insight into Canadian afairs, and gives him a contact which it is not the privilege or few members of the race to possess. Mr. Montgomery reluctantly told these facts to your correspondent last week for despite his high attainments he is modest and unassuming in manner. He told these facts only after your correspondent informed him that a career such as his would inspire other young men to climb. Mr. Montgomery is one of the most cultured young men in the race. His manner shows that fine contact with cultured men of affairs of which his office gives. That a young Negro can rise to such an influential office as held by Mr. Montgomery is proof positive of a place in life for the young man of the race with the background. White in this city Mr. Montgomery spent a great deal of time at the Y. M. C. A. where he met a large number of young men. His presence was a great inspiration to your correspondent. Mr. Montgomery is one of the leading men in the Province and is constantly using his influence to raise the economic status of the young men of the race. When the Ecumenical Methodist met in Toronto in 1911 Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery were hosts to some of the most prominent of the Colored delegates to the conference. Their guests included Bishop and Mrs. Alstork, of Alabama. Bishop and Mrs. Blackwell of Philadelphia. Bishop Hurst and Rev. and Mrs. J. S. Jackson. REV. WILLIAM W. PRIME BUILDING UP U. A. M. E. CENTER IN THE METROPOLIS. The U. A. M. E. branch of the Methodist church is beginning to get a foot hold in this city that will in a few months place it on the equal with the A. M. E. and the A. M. E. Zion churches. Although the U. A. M. E. Church is the youngest branch of the Methodist, Negro bodies, it is distinctly gaining ground throughout the country. Judging from the present growth it is safe to say that this branch. Methodism will become one of the most potent factors in the solution of the problems. The U. A. M. E. church in this city will be capable of killing in the become the leading church of the denomination. The place this church is taking in the church life of this city is due a great deal to the energy of the present pastor. Rey, Wm. W. Prime. Although he has been pastor for only four months the church is enjoying its most prosperous period Rev. Prime talked over the situation with your correspondent last week and said that the outlook was bright for a great center. He said that he has many plans that he will introduce, and that the responses from the members and friends were encouraging. Rev. Prime is one of the most prominent men and the most successful pastors of his connection. He has had great success in his work as pastor and comes to this city with a noted record. Before coming to this city he pastored in the following cities: Belleville, N. J., Stapleton, S. L., Woodstown, N. J., and Camdon, N. J. and in each of these cities he has made a success. Rev. Prime stated that the present membership of his church was 50. Rev. Prime was born in New York and is a graduate of the public school and the Union Presidential Theological School at Wilmington N. C. He is able assisted in his work by his wife. NEGROES ORGANIZING CIVIC LEAGUES THROUGH OUT MASS. A movement is on foot among Negroes of Massachusetts, to organize civile leagues throughout the state that will have for the purpose the fighting of the many civile problems that confront the Negro. Already this movement is gaining ground and bids fair to be one of the most potent movements in the uplift of the race. The aim of this movement was made known to your correspondent last Sunday by Edward W. of Springfield, Massachusetts, who is one of the most active movers in this movement. Mr. Shepherd is a member of the Executive Committee of the Civile League of Springfield and stated to your correspondent that since the organization of the league it had done some constructive work that has made for the civile improvement of the Negro. Mr. Shepherd stated that it would not be long before there were such leagues in every city of the state. The movement is meeting with encouragement by such able men as Ex-Assistant Attorney General W. H. Lewis. Mr. Shepherd is one of the leading men of affairs in the city of Springfield and is one of the city's most substantial citizens. He is an insurance Broker as well as being engaged in Real estate. He is the only Colored agent for The Mutual Housing Company a real estate company which is seeking to improve the living conditions under which the Negroes are forced to live, by providing better houses for them. Mr. Shepherd has done much for the race as a Real Ex-Exam. He was born in Springfield, and educated in the public schools of that city. He is a member of St. Johns Congregational Church. Mr. Shepherd when seen in this city last week was on a vacation a part of which he is spending in this city. Mr. Shepherd is a fine type of Negro manhood and believes in the possibilities of his race. CLEVELAND G. ALLEN COLORED BOY WINS PRIZE.

THE RICHMOND PLANET; RICHMOND, VIRGINIA FRONTING FOR LIGHT We republish the account of a cutting attack Saturday, night as it appeared, in one of our great daily papers Sunday morning and then we give the statement made to us in the County jail by 'the giant Negro' who is awaiting his trial. INSULT OFFERED WOMAN FOLLOWED BY CUTTING AFRAY. An insult to a white woman, which was resented by a man, led to a cutting, a near-cutting and later an exciting chase through downtown streets and alleys early this morning in which about 300 excited men and women, headed by Patrolman Reichman and Detective Shaefer participated. Joseph Burkhardt, 53 years old, of 200 Main avenue, Elmwood Place, and George Cale, of the same address were coming to -Cincinnati on a Lockland car about 11:30 o'clock, when, according to the conductor and several passengers, a Negro, who afterwards registered at police headquarters as Wesley Saltes, 45 years old, of 319 Smith street, insulted two young women. Burkhardt, according to his story, presented the insult. Nothing more was thought of the matter until Burkhardt and Cale got off the car at Sixth and Walnut streets at 12:55 A.M. The Negro, a giant in stature, followed the two men, and when at Sixth street, between Walnut and Vine streets, according to witnesses, stabbed Burkhardt in the shoulder. The Negro pulled the knife out, but in doing so slashed Burkhardt's chest. Patrolman Reichman, who was standing at Sixth and Walnut streets in citizen's clothes, ran over and grabbed the Negro. The Negro wheeled and slashed at Reichman's face with the knife. Reichman "ducked," the knife striking his hat and cutting the front part of the rim off. Reichman hit the Negro with his blackjack with such force that all the shot came out of the weapon. The Negro ran, and as Reichman did not have his gun he gave chase. The Negro ran down Lodge alley and into the first aile south of Sixth street. A large crowd joined in the chase. Detective Shafer who was standing at Longworth and Race stairs took up the chase and fired three shots at the Negro Shafer and Reichman succeeded in catching the fugitive at Longworth and Elm stairs. The police had a hard time keeping the crowd back. Several uniformed officers threatened to use their clubs. A Negro who interfered at Longworth and Elm stairs was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge. Burkhardt was sent to the General Hospital, where he was held for observation. - The Enquirer. We went to the County jail to see Wesley Sallies, the Negro who did the cutting. He is a hard-working, married and lives at 343 Smith Street. He came to this city several years ago and works for one of the railroads he forward manner, he told his story. He was on his way home from train street. He sat just a block from the Zoo. After seated sometime, he remembered that he did not get his transfer. He asked the conductor for one. The conductor made a short app. Words ensued. The car was filled with white people. Two white men took up the matter. The Negro talked back. He finally got his transfer. When Sixth and Walnut was reached the two white men walked westward on Sixth street; the Negro went the same way having concluded to walk home. One of the men turned and said "You blacks—of a be, who are you following us for?" He replied, "I am on my way home." A few more words and they struck him. A crowd gathered, the Negro, frightened and desperate drew his knife and fought his way out and then ran for life. His coat was caught but he slipped out of it as he fled. The officers took part in the pursuit. He was fired upon but kept running until caught. The man who was stabbed, being dangerously wounded was taken to the hospital, and the Negro locked up on a charge of cutting to kill. As we thought, there were no white women involved. Certainly in name Negro, drunk or sober, would insult a white woman in a street car full of white men. "Twould he be guilty to suicide. As a matter of face it would not even, under such circumstances, be safe to insult a colored man—if she was at all goodlooking. In white women cases, the Negro is generally alluded to as "Burly Black Negro." "Big Burly Black Brute." etc. in this case, he is "the Glant Negro." As a giant, he would certainly not prove a drawing card in a circus, nor any medals in a dime museum. We carried up to the bars in the county jail, expecting to have to stand on a ladder, or look into the man's eyes, but were mistaken. He almost had to stand on a chair to look into ours; for that "Giant Negro" is only about five feet five inches high, and weighs about one hundred and fifty pounds! If such sensational reports appear in Cincinnati papers, what can be expected from the journals of the south? Everytime a few hilly-billys want to have some fun, they hang a Negro, shoot him full of hooks, make the excuse that he attacked some white woman; and lo, some of the newspapers immediately make heroes of the murderers, and write lengthy editorials about southern chivalry.

Williams and on its family, with the exception of one child who did not eat any of the white meat of the ham, were made violently ill Monday morning of this week. Rev. Williams was taken ill on the street and was attended by Dr A. L. Pace, who carried him home. Upon arriving there it was found that Mrs. Williams and the children were also ill with the same symptoms and Dr. A. J. Strong was called. Upon examination the two physicians found that the family was suffering from arsenic poisoning, and it required heroic treatment to relieve them. Drs Pace and Strong remained with their patients until they were out of danger. How the poison got on the ham is a mystery to the members of the Williams household. It was boiled Saturday and placed in the refrigerator where it remained until Monday morning. The news of the violent illness of Rev. Williams and family spread over the city rapidly Monday and there was much alarm and concern over the outcome, especially among members of Queen Street Baptist Church, of which he was pastor. Hundreds of people called at the parsonage to express their sympathy and inquire into the condition of the patients. All of them have practically recovered from the effects of poison. Norfolk Va..

We learn that there were about four million set free at that time, but you or even the all wise sage of the koges, know just how many people of African descent were in America or the United States at that time. I think that the northern Negroes have been extremely patient, not making reedy to some of the harsh insults thrown at them by some of the good southern leaders. Some of those good fellows want to take the credit for everything which spells progress, while they are constantly surrendering the very rights which permit them to make progress; and they complain if the northern Negroes do not see fit to do the same. It might be of interest to establish in your records that some of the northern Negroes who went south had a fair education before going there. So if Negroes would not brag so much and do more real cooperative work, things would progress much faster. I have even heard Africans who were so ignorant that they were flat in the feet, beginning to run down the American colored man. I should think that if he or they can see how to criticise the American Negro, they are able to do without his mission work on the continent; and they should give us a better example. And the same I would say to the southern colored man in the United States: when you have exceeded these in the North in every way of our program, it will then be time to move on. If you have boasted by some of the greatest lights of our day. Those who are making the most noise are not even a good set of initiators of real great men. I believe in giving credit where it is due, so as to encourage more voluntary service and general cooperation among people of a similar circumstance. I note that even though some of these colored fellows who were born savages and carry some of the marks given them by their masters have been to set them as a better class. Nor are against those of the North. Who were savages and capital educated. And who have been to set them as a better class. I have noted with much to do with that the advantage. Note to the above note of the end, imposition in the 1990s and a for period of dependence and the acceptance of the change to the other period. ```markdown ``` The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text.

You have been open your well. I wont say, Oh, so ahead, my good man, and both of you fall together. I do not fear man. I fear God, and the devil may strike, but God can defend. So you see that I am not trusting in money nor the number of my influential friends. My trust is in a just and all wise God, the same whom you shall meet away some day, when you little expect. There are lots of business men in the world, and if that you know some of the things which stand close to you now, you would not think that because that you are a business man you are immune. You have said that you want to get me there. I will just say here for your especial good that the same who brought me here can take me right away, if he so wishes, and you and all of your friends be powerless to touch me.

So read this and know that you have much to learn yet, just as I have. You said that I had better attend to my business, well, the very article which caused your anger should have also informed you that I do none of these things of myself, but one that is stronger than either of his attacks in these matters of mine. I am not getting any money for it. Like you would be, if you could. Then I would say again to the young mind that a person who works for money only and only for money, is as much slave as the one who works and never has a payday. There is something to be gained from work, which no amount of men can replace. Therefore, I say that everyone should work. And the man who thinks that money in itself can recompense a man for his work is not much better than a fool. Morley is truly a social acknowledgement of service rendered, and a promise to grant certain privileges to the mount indicated by society at the time of redemption. But let tools beware, that there are things of this world which money cannot buy. And when I contest for equal opportunity under similar conditions, I have these and other facts in mind. As the man who lives only for money and for money only, is a fool and the quicker he is dead the better for all. A proper slave works only to please his master, and the one who can best please is sure to be come the master. If he is not already let the fool look about him and be hold the restless need in all naught, and let him work the different branches when is their place, or offer to return good labor and see what will be the result.

Finding the Diver Divers so long under great pressures require more time in an hour to be drawn to the surface. As the American Roy. not that they are down so deep in the water, for the world's record for depth, made by Chief Gunner's Mate Frank Crilley, I. S. N., is only 280 feet. But if they are brought to the surface immediately and their belts removed they are liable to die of the "bends," as the divers call it. Under the water the diver's body becomes accustomed to the greatly increased air pressure order which he works. At enormous stress his body through breathing the blood becomes veritably sat with the tissues we breathe. It is right to the surface suddenly the pressure causes the gaseous particles in the body to tear their way out through the soft tissue of the body organs. So the pressure must be slowly decreased to let the gases work out of the body gradually. Consequently the diver is raised to the surface very slowly. When Diver Drellishak was working on raising the U-4 United States submarine at Honolulu in ascending he was kept at a depth of ten feet below the surface for more than an hour. 8.

The average woman is more interested in her autumn coat suit than she is in evening frocks, although the changes in fashions for the latter should enable her to alter whatever she has, if that is possible. In order that they may meet the social life of the early fall, when people come together in town again and one wants informal evening clothes, if no other kind. Nothing is settled here in the way of any clothes until models are received from Paris, so far as the winter is concerned. But some of the advance styles are belted exactly at the waist Hine, as they were in the late spring; others have an exaggerated point in the fronts somewhat after the manner of an Elizabethan bodice with a daring peplum attached and running high at the sides. This is a novelty, and whether or not it will be repeated frequently one cannot tell. There are many women to whom it will be very becoming. At least it is a decided change from what we have had, and there are rumors that it will usher in a variety of coats that run down to a point either in the front or back with high side lines. For the woman who is over fifty and whose hips have broadened the point will be good, and the side shaping can be managed accordingly to her requirements. Ancient Artisans.

DVINSK IS BOMBARDED The Encircling Movement Near Vilna Falls When Invaders Are Beaten Back. The withdrawal of the Russian from Vilna eastward instead of southward is authoritatively interpreted in Petrograd as proof that the German cavalry has been unable seriously to impede the Russian retreat. Passing Osmany and Soly the Russians are now battling for crossover over the Vilnya river under condition regarded as favorable. The German in their pursuit have occupied territory only as far as the Meresian river. The Russians not only have destroyed the bridges, culverts and tunnels along the railroad line, but they roadbed itself where it passed through the marshes. It is assumed the Germans are now operating in three sections, Dvinsk, Lida and Molodozno, aiming at a general junction at Minsk with forces from Slonim. The war office admits [further gain] for the Germans in the fighting near Dvinsk. The invaders have brought up heavy shore guns and are bombarding Dvinsk for the first time in an effort to capture that city and thereby open a route by which they may sawing across the Dvina river and move against Riga to the west, thus catching the armies now defending the port in a flanking movement. German aeroplanes are flying over Dylink/ dropping bombs upon the Russian batteries and directing the fire of the Teuton guns. According to the latest reports, several fires have been set in Dylink. Before the bombardment opened the great mass of the civil population had left the city in response to warnings by the Russian military authorities. It was admitted at the war office that the situation at Dylink is critical. This fortress also forms part of the third line of Russian defense, the first and second being respectively the Vistula and Dug forts, all of which are now in German hands. War office officials asserted, how ever, that the Russian artillery along the Vilna river at Dvinsk, and to the south of that city, would be able to hold back the Teutonian army until the Vilna army had extirpated itself from the German trap by von Hindenburg and Prince Leopold of Ravaria. Germans Moving Toward Minak. German troops are now moving rapidly eastward toward Minak to cut off the Vilna army of Rusalia from its only means of escape. The general staff reported that the right wing of General von Elchorn's forces had reached the region east of Lida and northeast of Novogradsk. These troops have apparently cut the Lida-Petrograd railway and are headed for the Vilna-Minak line, over which the Russians are retreating from Vilna. The official report also states that Prince Leopold of Bavaria has crossed the Moltschad at Dworze and to the south of that point. The Bavarian troops are thus moving forward with those of General von Eichhorn.

[Prepared by United States department of agriculture.] Garden lovers who wish their gardens or the grounds around their houses to be rich in spring with crocus, narcissus, tulips and Spanish iris should begin their work without delay, for fall is the time to plant the bulbs of these flowers. The work should be undertaken as soon as an early frost has injured the foliage in the beds of annual flowers. In case of crocuses many will find it desirable to establish the plants so that they grow and bloom on the lawn much as the wild flowers do, or they may be mixed with other bulbs in the border, where they will be one of the earliest flowers to appear in the spring and will have disappeared before the narcissuses begin to bloom. The list of varieties of the latter, often known as daffodils or jonquils, is almost bewildering, and some of the more vigorous growing kinds may also be established in the lawn in a more or less natural state. Many of the varieties, however, that succeed in this way in England, where the flower is exceedingly popular, will not do so well in this country except in the southern states and on the Pacific coast. Perhaps the best for this purpose are the poeticus varieties, which are certain to be hardy. They should never be the lawn should be thinned only when it is desired to have the lawn in a half width condition, for the grass cannot be too small. The foliage begins to die when it will be a few weeks after the appearance of the flowers. In many of the parts of the large setts of England, in portions of North Carolina, on estates along the James river in Virginia and even in old New England gardens narcissuses that were planted many years ago are still vigorous and produce every spring a beautiful display of blossoms. Tulips may also be obtained in many varieties, and by making the proper selection they will give a succession of blooms for several weeks. No attempt should be made to utilize them except in the border or the formal bed. Coming, after all except the latest tulips is the Spanish iris, and, though one of the most attractive for the border, it is one of the cheapest of bulbs, often being called "the poor man's orchid." To be most effective it should be planted in groups or masses of the same kind. All of these bulbs will do well in moderately rich loam that is well drained, but they will, often succeed very well in less favorable conditions. If they are to be planted in the border or in beds the soil should be worked deep, but no manure should come in contact with the narcissus, crocus or Spanish iris, though well rolled manure may be worked into the soil where tulips are to be planted. The depth at which bulbs should be planted varies with the soil, light soils requiring deeper planting than heavy, and with the size of the bulb. As a rule, crocus may be planted three inches and Spanish iris four inches deep. Narcissus should have from four to five inches of soil above the bulb and should be five to six inches distant from each other. Tulips should be four inches below the surface and six inches apart each way. Sawhorse.. Attachment For Short Sticks. When it is necessary to saw a few short pieces the ordinary sawhorse is an unhandy place to hold the wood, says a writer in Popular Mechanics. As I had a great many short pieces to cut for a small round stove, I made an attachment, as shown in the illustration, that would hold a stick regardless of its length. The attachment consists of four pieces of board, two of which are joined together in the same manner as the crossed pieces for the sawhorse ends, but in such a position that they will hang over the center crossbar and make the depth of the yoke the same as that of the sawhorse. The end of one piece bears against a board that is fastened to the front pieces of the sawhorse. Another piece, hinged to the lower end of the opposite center yoke piece, is provided with notches or a rack made of galls to engage the upper edge of the board, as shown. The manner of using the device is obvious. Mow in the Afternoon. There is a difference between air dried and sun burned hay. If you cut the grass late in the day much of the water in it passes off through the leaves and you get a fine quality of air dried hay containing practically all the nourishment in the plant. But if you start the mower in the morning the hot sun burns the leaves before they can evaporate the water. Then you wonder why your stock does not do well, although they have plenty of nico hay.-Farm Progress. PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT: Open Air Exercise "Walk, walk, walk!" urged Benjamin Franklin. The United States public health service gives the same advice in a bulletin addressed particularly to persons who are more than forty years old. "Take daily exercise," says the bulletin. "Have a hobby that gets you out of doors. Walk to your business or to your dress-maker. Walk just for the sake of walking. Join a walking club and keep your weekly score of miles. Keep chickens, make a garden, play golf—anything to get two-hours of outdoor exercise every day." The advice is not new, but it is sound and useful.

As he can't eat each ball he would say: "That's a peach." "That's a plippin." "Just like picking cherries." For six innings in one game when Powers was young Tim Hurst enjoyed this chatter. Finally Hurst called a batter out on a ball that was a trifle low, as he afterward a limited, which Powers declared was a pitch. "Letting the catcher impulse the game for you, eh! Lesting your nerves I guess!" were the words handed to Tim Hurst by the sore and disgusted batter. It had just the effect that the bitter desired, for Tim immediately got after Powers in impressive phraseology. "Young man, you may be a grand judge, of fruit, but you are not on a farm.

Neither is good, either for you or your country. Every good citizen should take an active part in his government's procedure in a free country. If the good ones do not the bad ones certainly will. So now you can take your choice, about the matter. Truth is ever simple, but it takes an observer of no mean order to always distinguish it from falsehood. Thus I say, do not consent to any one man representing all of you; alone. You have nothing in common to be compared with the Jews. And any people who try to institute them will become similar in situations. So if the Negroes would humbly admit that one man is as good as any other under similar conditions, there might be a way found to help every one according to his condition. We do not want an elite rate of serfs nor any other one class. Such is detrimental to the individual's development physically, mentally and spiritually. It is detrimental to his country, society general and to his God. It is a sin. Those better Washington theories make invasions of all who try to adhere to them, just as he is a mental dwarf and many who thought him worthy to represent them without question have found themselves sadly deprived of many of their created rights. There is no doctrine under the opinion than "Do right in every case" and no man can locally do more than this. When any man attempts to treat his neighbor better or worse than he would be treated, he is wrong. I want to know just why so much critics are put upon farreaching for Norris or any more than any other walk of life. They do not look a bit suspicious. Why am a white man not born as good as a Negro just as he has do other things? I do not agree with but I bitterly oppose the idea of Negroism because it is intended to hope New York brightly. It should be allowed to exist quietly. It must be remembered that the American Negro is not the slave who they are, but the slave who they are from one of the states in America. They were slaves who did not put there nor were slaves who did not hold the African mind to the slave. we are to preparing the part of a tractor for the work we do tomorrow to more than he has with his opportunities had he been able to retire. Compare my handle work with the duties and sayings of the best men of the world and so far I am in harmony with the true world of the profession of the mechanic and times.

There are these my name and time who have worked in the trade and are yet waiting to enter personally for the right more than I do. I only assume the right to help push the three in the right direction in overseeing it. No man can say that he has ever lost me a hand in this direction more than what has been openly done in the columns of The Richmond Planet. A good man is willing to bear the blame of a bad one rather than see the weak impaired upon, and if I had been the recipient of any notice favors I could not speak with a hardly similar to that of St Paul! I have always done my best and have waited others doing the same and though I suffer I will offer succor to my weaker brother when I know that he is right. Your children can never lift their head with due manliness in presence of their charitable benefactors. They must ever surrender certain manliness to debauchery and in the respect they must then remain tools and slaves to the will of their benefactors. Then, how dare you say that you are free men or claim the right to the Church of God? A servant of God is not a slave to manion. That is if he serves with free will, reverence and zeal. Therefore I plead for equal privilege and opportunity to all men, under similar conditions and especial favors to those as science and philosophy teach me that I can hope for nothing better. Slaves are a loss to their masters, and tools and covards are an expense to their government and a curse to society. So down with tyranny, down with sophistry and away with chicanery among a people whose cause is mutual and government democratic.

Then I ask what comparison has the American Nurse of today with the Jew of their age? The Nurse was there that he is here now, but because he loved to human suggestion and worked for human rewards only, we read of him in those days, just as we find him in those trying to solve our problems where he thought that belonged especially to his race. The problem is the friendship between the two countries without co-operation and the lack of understanding between them. Every great power should help the other to achieve its goals and dreams. We worry about the future of the world and study and learn from the experiences of other countries. Goodwill and understanding are essential for cooperation. I am sure that the two countries will work together to achieve a common goal. This is a much different to the heart of the American Negro in America. Then see you talk about "A White Man's Money."

"How can man carry a machine and his own weight with many other things up in the air, which each of these things are so much heavier than the bulk of air which they displace in space?" "Papa, what is electricity?" "Why is a black child just as young as a white one under similar conditions?" "What is the origin of money, papa?" "You say that you have been working all of your days, then why are you not rich? I know a man who is much younger than you are, who says that he was born poor and now he is rich. And he does not work hard like you do. They all honor him and say that he is an honored man and a gentleman, how is that? Do you not think that mama? And why do you let them? somebody has been cheating you and Are you not a man and woman like they are? Why should I let people cheat me when I can help myself? Or why should I not cheat them, too?

Or why do they have soldiers with guns if they should not kill any one? You say that one may be justified in killing in self defense, how is that to be proven when many are lynched before a trial can be had? Japa, why don't you all lynch the white people?" Now, gentle folks, if you would permit this freedom in your family you would be confronted with similar questions. Whether you permit it or not, the child is thinking and is calling you bad names in his little heart and he begins to doubt your sanity or your honesty and moral courage. How many fathers are there among you who can stand a twenty minutes interrogation from a fourteen year old boy, of the practical common sense class? Do you not know that this is just where the white child gets its moral strength? Men, here is why I appeal to you to stop chicanery and get down to business. The Negroes when discussing their trouble in your country, generally say, "We are a race ten millions in number and it is a shame how we are treated!" The white man tells the other nations that he represents a nation of one hundred millions. Now, I want to know just how many inhabitants are you anyhow? And if you Negroes are not a part of the whole, what right have you to pay taxes and discuss public affairs? This talk and go. I saw too, a large hotel across the roadway "That hotel," said, the train brakeman, "was built by a saloon keeper, who lived here in Portal." This town went dry and he erected that hotel over there in Saskatchewan province at a cost of $60,000. Within six months' time Saskatchewan province went dry! He was a heavy loser." When we left Portal, the same science—the waving wheatfields greeted uson either side. The train stopped often and at well nigh every station the passengers could get out and walk around. There were no daily news paters now from the United States, except those which I had read before leaving the States. EXCENSIVE BLANKETS. I talked with the porters. All of them were from the West Indies but one who hailed from Oklahoma. One of them explained to me that the heavy blankets on the sleeping cars cost $15.00 in piece. As we passed other towns, we saw the Canadian recruits awaiting transportation to England or the continent. These soldiers usually carried canes, either short or long cues while the cavalrymen carried riding whips of a peculiar make. I humorously informed the West Indian porters that I proposed to open a recruiting office. NOT NOW READY TO FIGHT. For the time being I could only see the whites of the eyes of the West Virginia as he remarked that he had no country for which to fight. He would leave for the States, would stop off at St Paul and remain there the told of thousands of his country men who had left the islands to fight and to the either in France or at the Barbadianies. He spoke also of the Hydes from India, all British subjects who were not permitted to land at Vancouver on account of race prejudice. THE RAILROADS INDUCEMENT I was smiling now as I spoke of resisting a putting off on the train. I was told, too, that the Canadian Patrol, Railway, as an indemnity had obliged each one of its employees six months advanced pay for them to enlist in the services of their country. As of this I impressed upon those states of West Indians, but they had seen the train roll of English others killed in France and they and gazed upon their pictures in the illustrated journals from London and so I smilingly gave up the task and turned to a reason of other things.
