NEXT THANKSGIVING 1916 VOLUME XXXIV, NO.2 atheneur has been violated. His visitor kept moultenal tips and swallowing emotions "Madam." Able Divine Speak—Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham Here, Too—Purse Presented to Pastor—Renewed Efforta for Another Struggle. The Fifth St. Baptist Church observed the first anniversary of its ablo pastor, Rev. T. I. King D. D. by appropriate sermons, religious exercises and paying off the remainder of a mortgage indobtedness which has been hanging over the church for many years. The exercises Wednesday night were interesting and impressive. Rev. C. D. Honderson, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Newport News, Va., delivered a sermon that aroused the congregation and produced a profound effect. BURNING THE MORTGAGE The presence of Rev. W. F. Graham D. D., pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church of Philadelphia added interest to the occasion Lay member John Mitchell, Jr. was Master of Ceremonies and Brother J. W. Johnson and Rev. Cook lifted the collection. The choir rendered choice selections. When the time came for the burning of the mortgage, Rev. T. J. King, D. D. came to the lower rostrum, while the leaders of the clubs who had been successful in raising the money gathered about him. MRS MOSS: SUCCESS Mrs R W. Moss had succeeded in leading and to her was accorded the honor of applying the match to the mortgage and starting the blaze which destroyed R. Photographer G. W. Brown and his sister, Miss Brown took a flash light picture of the scene Rev. Dr Graham made a short address, after which the congregation passed out. On Thursday night, Rev A S. Thomas, D. D., was Master of Ceremonies. A GREAT EFFORT. Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D., preached one of the ablest and most soul-stirring sermons ever heard in the church. He told of many incidents in connection with his pastorate and he paid a glowing tribute to the present pastor. He congratulated the church upon its success and declared that the amount raised had exceeded the amount raised by him during his pastorate for any one year, although he had raised more on one specific rally. MEMBERS JUBILANT He made an appeal for the Philadelphia Christian Review and many persons came forward and secured a copy of that journal, inspired by his enthusiastic commendation of it. The elimax of the week's exercises came last Sunday night, when a purse was presented to Dr. King by some of his admiring members. St Luke's of Baltimore Prospering. The Grand United Order of St. Luke's of Baltimore, Md. has its flag still unfurled and waving higher and higher. Sister Hannah E. Frey, Grand State Deputy of the G. U. O. St. Luke visited Tidewater last week. She is traveling for the interest of the Order. She spoke at Zion Baptist, Phoebus, Wednesday night and at Third Baptist Church, Thursday night and in Norfolk Friday. Accompanied by Dr. Lattimore, of Hampton, she visited the First Baptist Church and A. M. E. Church, Hampton. She is traveling under the leadership of the Grand Chief. $10,000 CAMPAIGN ACTIVR. The Campaign Committee of the Old Folks Home for Colored People is still active and energetic in its efforts to raise the $10,000 Fund for the Home. The friends in the community are beginning to rally to this most worthy cause, and the committee feels, that with their continued efforts, the required amount will be relied on. The Campaign Committee wishes to thank those who have so liberally contributed by sending their checks and prodges, and wishes also to state that the Board of the Old Folks Home will send each one a receipt for the amounts that they sent.

The Gifted Lecturer Charms A Large Richmond Audience. A large and enthusiastic audience thronged the University Chapel at the Virginia Union University, Friday evening, November 17th. The occasion was a lecture by W. E. Burghardt DuBois, Ph. D. on the subject, "War and Projudice." The admittance fee of twenty-five cents did not deter those of our citizens who were anxious to listen to this distinguished scholar. PREJUDICE IN ALL AGES He was introduced by Hon. John Mitchell, Jr. and for nearly an hour he gave a vivid description of the REV. W. F. GRAHAM, D. D., OF caste system and the war in Europe. His historical recital of the history of the nations now at war, together with his declaration that race prejudice has existed in all ages held the delightful audience spell-bound, only to give forth a continued applause at the conclusion of the lecture. PLACES OF INTEREST VISITED President G. W. C. Brown, President of College Chapter, No. 2 of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People presided.

EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS VISITING NEWPORT NEWS AND CAPE CHARLES—A QUESTION OF LIQUOR. I left Richmond at 4 P. M. Tuesday, November 21, 1916, via C. & O. Railway, for Newport News, Va., en route to Cape Charles, Va. The politte parlor car porter saw me coming and he took my small satchel. I was soon seated in one of those luxurious plush seat, revolving chairs, calmly reading an afternoon paper. It was not long before the arrival of the train from the West, and a short while afterwards, I was on my way to the great ship-building city. FINE REAL ESTATE OFFICES Passing Jonosbero, I saw the automobile of Dr. Jones in the driveway of his attractive mansion. I arrived at Newport News at 5:30 P. M., and was met at the train by Messrs. T. J. Free, Phil Brown, and J. E. Bryd. We vaulted into an automobile and were soon in the real estate offices of Phil Brown. He knows how to make a display. Plants were on the table, prospective houses for prospective customers. A PAIR OF DECKS If there did not suit, he had others hardly. I met Attorney R H Prow who is also well fixed in this same building Mr J H Ridley, of the ship building plant came in. He had a pair of fine drinks, given him by his boss, who had been out hunting in Virginia and North Carolina. Then came an invitation from Dr Foreman's office. Ladies, were there anxious to meet the editor and banker. I reluctantly entered and found myself in the midst of the fair sex 72R FOREMAN'S OFFICE It may be well to state that I found Dr. Foromina bedded by them. He has one of the best contoured cushion I had ever seen in the State. The center of attention was on Nirrta X-ray machine. He raised it up to show the violet ray, which ray made enough substance transparent or rather it made the flesh transparent. Badger pressed their hands to it, while they looked through the lens and the dislocation bond was exposed, showing that while we were in life we were virtually in death. THAT VIOLET RAY. You could detect any dislocation of the joints, and any foreign substances in the flesh. I had read much about it, but I had never seen one of the machines in operation. One of the visitors suggested that a head of one of them be exposed to the X-ray, but Dr. Forrenman sniffingly suggested that this might be done the next time. He diplomatically adjusted the instrument, turned on the light again in the room, which lights had been turned off, and we all were soon standing in the hallway on the outside. ITS DEADLY CHARACTER I thought vaguely that I understood the reason. I had heard that the X-ray—the violet ray—was, in some respects, deadly, and when used too much, it had a tendency to injure the flesh. Dr. Foreman was taking no chances. He was not exposing a vital part of the human body to its remarkable powers. In some diseases, it is known to be highly beneficial. Certain kinds of cancerous growths have been checked by the powerful, subtle influence of the remarkable light. FRIENDS TO MEET ME. I was soon in Attorney Pree's office again, and Major R. H. Stewart joined us. Then we went out to Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Byrd's residence, 741 24th Street. Supper was soon served by Mr. Byrd. Col. B. F. Jackson came, and we all indulged in a conversation for some time. I learned that an arrest had been made the evening before. Two colored men came in from Baltimore. Md., bringing with them large trunk and two suit boxes. The mistake made was in shipping an bagage, where rough handling is in vogue, and not by express, where "handle with care" is the rule. THOSE WHISKEY TROUBLES Anyway, the colored man in charge telephoned to Newport News for an automobile. It came, and the trunk and satchels were loaded into it. All of this awakened suspicion, and the baggage master, who presumably had a nose and mouth for liquor, scented whiskey. He telephoned to Hampton, and when the automobile got there, officers were looking for it. To add to the troubles of the men, a fire bursted right at the spot, and the parties were prisoners. ATTORNEY NEWSOME TO DEFEND THEM Ball was fixed at $1,500. The leading figure in the whiskey tragedy owns property, and Attorney J. Thomas Nowsome virtually owns him now, for he represents the alleged culprits. Some surprise was manifested at the supply of liquor in Newport News being exhausted so soon after the enactment of the law. It costs just thirty-two cents to get a quart of liquor from Baltimore, by express, and to this must be added the price of the whiskey. I went to bed after bidding my friends good night and I slept soundly until about five o'clock Wednesday morning. Mr. Blyrd entered to make fire in my room. His wife was to accompany me to Cape Charles that morning. WAITING FOR THE STEAMER Arriving at Old Point we spent more than an hour. While waiting I strolled about the wharf and conversed with some of the colored slave-dores. They pointed out to me the white barge agent who had been responsible for the arrest of the colored man with the whiskey in the trunk and suitcases, the evening before. They were all of the opinion that it was none of the barge master's business. According to their way of thinking he had been unlucky offender. A GRAPE HARVEST While touching and talking, I was all about the accidental dumping of several tracks of graphite upon the wharf. The drivers stewarded and other employees had secured their fill of fuel vapors. Just then, I observed a taphole launch towing two targets. Each one had a black square mark in the centre. I remarked that a man would not stand much danger of being struck on one of those targets, four or five miles away. "They fear these targets all to piece some times, said one of them. "They do not shoot at the target," he said, "they keep them apart about the length of a boat and shoot between them. Can they hit them? I should say they can. You see that long, thing over wonder in the fort." That is a range- finder. (Continued On Fourth Page) Lincoln-Union Game Here Thursday. Lincoln's recent upheaval, involving the dismissal of her football coach as well as the pressing into service of practically an entirely new machine, has completely put her opponents at sea in judging her present strength. Moreover, with this revolution in force only one week, also effected a touchdown on Hampton's Campus and held the champions to 19-7. This looks quite desperate for Union. The Red and Steel catapult was handed a defeat of 15-6 by the Hamptonians a few weeks ago. From a comparison of the two scores, it seems evident that the Union-Lincoln battle next Thursday will be a royal one. In the last contest with Lincoln, on Thanksgiving Day two years ago, the Pennsylvanians were victorious by a 13-7 count. All indications point to the fact that a tremedous holiday crowd will witness the fight. Excursionists from Norfolk, Hampton, Petersburg and Roanoke will journey here to see the fray. Captain Puryear, of the Union bark, asserts that he never likes to mention the fact, but his cotillion must and will be vigorous over the beach from Penn's Woods. HARVARD NOV 27 1916 CAMBRIDGE, MASS. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. --- ```markdown ``` --- MISSIONARY BAPTIST GENERAL CONVENTION OF TEXAS MET AT AUSTIN. The Missionary Baptist General Convention of Texas in forty-three years of the beginning of Negro Baptist Associations organized in Texas and the twenty-three years of reconstructive work of Negro Baptists in the state of Texas has just closed one of the most successful sessions in the history of Negro Baptists of Texas. The delegates, including ministers, laymen, and men and women of all walks of life were ill equipped, progressive and aggressive in their deportment in the city and deliberations of the body. The nine field secretaries made record breaking reports. Their Boards had stood behind them and with them during the year. SUMMARY OF WORK FOR THE YEAR CLOSING SEPT. 3. 16 Missionary work accomplished in the state, $64,541.16; Foreign Mission $2,300.95; Minister's Relief, $563.40; Publication, $1,505.59; Orphan Home $5,000.86; for education, including amounts handed by corporation boards of trustee and the State Board of Education, $49,600.00; Board of Directors, $1400.38; Woman's Auxiliary, $1,459.39; for Evangelical purposes, $1,275.89—making a total of approximately $131,000.00 collected by the Convention under the auspices of the combined boards of the Convention which surpassed the previous year by $20,000.00 CASH: AT ANNUAL SESSION Cash collected since the books were closed and at the session as follows: State Missions, $122.69; Foreign Missions, $194.00; Education, $397.92; Endowment, $22.16; Ministers' Residency, $28.88; Board of Directors, $140.00; Woman's Auxiliary, $1,139.38; for the Orphan Home, $12.75; publication board, $222.47; making a total for the session, $3,531.98. STATISTICS SHOW MARVELOUS GROWTH According to the report of the of total statistician of the Convention the Missionary Baptist General Con- vention of Texas has 42 Associations, 1512 Churches; 2332 ordained mini- sters; 1116 pastors; 153,319 members; 827-Sunday Schools; 25 District Sun- day school Conventions; 4 Colleges owning 642 acres of land, 25 build- ings, 35 teachers. The present valu- ation of college property is $255,000.00 The value of church and district property is $66,000.00. This docu- ment includes the location of district schools of the General Convention not in the correlated system. All things considered the General Convention has made peculiar and wonderful pro- gress along all lines. COMPARATIVE STATEMENT Beginning twenty-three years ago, on the reconstructive idea of God, helped those who help themselves," the General Convention had at that time about $3,000.00 worth of school property. Today as you can see she has about three quarters of a million dollars in school property of four institutions alone, to say nothing of the several academies being operated in the various districts. Twenty-three years ago, she had four acres of ground owned by the Church for school purposes. Now she has more than six hundred and forty acres of valuable land, much of it worth more than $1,000.00 per acre. Twenty-three years are there was no Negro Baptist Publishing. House sending forth literature for the denomination. The Convention was stated over the idea that it had furnished the brain, enthusiasm and the man to undertake such a stupendous movement and in view of the fact that there were enemies who then fought to keep such from coming into existence, since fought to destroy the being, the house has grown in wonderful magnitude beyond the sanguine expectations of the most ardent supporters and that the opposition has simply been a stimulus, urging us on to surmount all difficulties in our effort for God and humanity. NATIONAL GUESTS The Convention had the honor of receiving national President E. P. Jones of Vicksburg, Mississippi, on Thursday night who thrilled the large audience with his words of oratory. He unveiled the monument of W. R. Tofiver at St. John. Cemetery amade a unique address of same which was ordered published in the Union Review and the minutes of the Convention. Dr. R. H. Boyd, D. D. LL. D. Secretary of the Publishing Board was the guest of the Convention on Friday night. He could hardly be called a guest as he is a member of the Convention and has been since 1853 which it was organized at Navajoola by himself. Rheinhart and others Yet he has received quite a whirlwind of praise and urged to go on with the work he had begun, being assured of the support of the white and Negro Baptists of the South. These visitors did much to encourage the brethren. OUR STATE LEADERS. There are so many prominent men of the General Convention- until the writer feels embarrassed to undertake to name some of them and your will not permit all. It is in space couraging to look body of intelligence that great ministers who men and women. Boyd left and grew up since Dr. Dr. the state, graduating from institutions, preaching and educating his highest true. Many of them were very lug on very difficult committees. Dr. P. Ing on the Humber of Calvert, Moderator of St. Emanuel Association, on Permanent Organization. He had quite a tremendous task, naming something like three hundred new officers for the Convention year. He was besieged on every hide and the loot a little port, but we understand that he came out right side up, giving complete satisfaction to all parties. The souvenir program of the Convention was of such nature as to record the names of one thousand or more persons who wore on committees, locally and otherwise. The musicians, the complete satisfaction, which our Publishing House usually does when given a fair and impartial trial. Dr. W. H. Crawford had charge of the Publicity end of the Convention in the absence of the lamented friend and reporter, W. R. Tolliver. The Austin American, the leading daily in the Southwest, volunteered a special editorial, complimentary to the Convention which we here welcome and encourage with itself. If you are possibly give space for it, I am sure it will be encouraging to the many thousand Negro Baptists throughout the country. WHITE PEOPLE Our Convention as usual was honored with the presence of leading and distinguished white city Mayor Wooldridge of the city delivered a very telling address to the first night, Rev Charles Madry, pastor of the University Baptist Church was also present and spoke, Dr W. A. Hamlett, pastor First Baptist Church delivered a very pleasing address on "Aggressiveness of the Baptists", and the brethren were placed to find a White Baptist minister so strong in the principles. Many of them went home determined to be likewise Hon. Sam Sparks, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce took special interest in the meetings as did the Commissioners of the city, also the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. FREE BARBECUE There were many entertainments for the delegates, white here in our city. Austin did her best to send them away well pleased and willing to return when requested. On the first night a banquet was tendered to the delegates by the local pastors. This was indeed a big thirst at Lieutenant Lott's Cafe. The officers of the Woman's Auxiliary Convention were also given a banquet at the residence, of Mrs. Corneia White, one of the leading citizens of Austin and a member of Ebenezer On the first day of the Convention a complimentary trolley ride was given the delegates to the city at the recess hour On Thursday a free barbecue with hundreds of pounds of beef, mutton, pork, etc. was served, the trays of charge, to the creams, desserts and visitors at the Encompass grounds of St John Industrial Institute Here the visitors had an opportunity of beholding for the first time the mammoth administration, utlining which cost more than 600,000, the boy's dormitory, the President's Mansion, the tenant houses, the two big tabernacles, farming implements, livestock, hogs, poultry and many other industrial features They were actually charmed with what St John is trying to do for the Negroes. The American Civil Convention and another under the management of Meadians Prime and Fuller, and actually took up twenty five ($250,000) dollars to place a store at the disposal of the department of Domestic Science. MEMORIAL On Saturday night of the Convention a special memorial service was held in honor of Rees S M Clark, J Bouldin, S C Rhoades, W R Tilker and other pastors and ministers, together with members who had died since the last annual session, Rev Dr J Curtis spoke briefly of the departed and a collection was taken and an exhibition was held at Mala M Butter, Flonezer cheers and Madam Bouldin were among those furnishing music for the occasion. LOCAL CHOURS 1 The Senior and Junior choirs of Blenheim Royal Church were at their best and rendered a special program of welcome on Wednesday evening to the decorators and visitors. This was given in lieu of the old fashioned welcome addresses that usually burden the body. The complimentary concerts by these two choirs opened off of Christmas fare, public and pl.ATION mobilities. They tied with each other alternately a manner pleasing to the audience which brought forth many complimentary remarks. Pastor Campbell of Eleanor Church had the immediate cooperation of the twelve Negro Baptist churches belonging to the General Convention and the good will of all churches and citizens of Austin in looking after the wants of the guests. Being afflicted with an operation, President Campbell but little during the entire session. Thirty-five Vice-Presidents vied with each other in helping the President dispatch the business of the body. President at large Dr. E. H Branch, took special delight in this. Many of the annual sermons were postponed for lack of time but will no doubt be scheduled for the next session. Speeches of prominence were made by Dr. H. M. Williams, Wm. Jones, I. H. Kelly, E. W. White, Wm. Loffon, F. G. Loffon, J. W. Strong, J. H. Washington, L. H. Housing, P. A. Prince, R. W. Cent, W. B. Hall, G. F. Currry, R. M. Taylor, J. H. Winn, J. D. Leonard, C. J. W. Boyd, J. D. Pasbell, E. H. Borden, etc. Greetings were exchanged with Oklahoma. Free Mission, Texas Convention, Missouri, Missouri several other state halls and onion. Editor Freeman then in session Dr. R.

Mr. Editor, this is but a brief in a little non-correlated manner of the wonder ful proceedings of our great Conven- came.

An Automobile and an Electric Wire William Cattin, of the firm of William Cattin & Co., real estate developer who resides at 17509 A First Avenue, Highland Park, had a narrow car park from Death Thursday night, November 16, at 7:30 o'clock, jumping from an automobile just before it plunged over an embankment a short distance from the Fifth Street. Aside from being the dressed and a bit shaken up, Mr. Cattin injured, but the machine from which he jumped was completely demolished. GOING HOME Mr Cattin was returning from his office at 417 Bank Street, and was proceeding down Fifth Street, when just before he reached the bridge, a number of children yelled to him to stop his car. Children in this vicinity had frequently done this, and, believing that they were doing it merely to amuse themselves, he continued on his way. However, just before reaching the structure he discovered that a trolley wire had broken and was dangling down from the pole, across the street. TOUCHED THE WIRE Before he could bring the machine to a halt it had touched the car. The wire was heavily charged and when it touched the automobile can flying all around him, believing that the car was on fire, he jumped, or pressed it over Mr. Cattin believes he jumped. He says that the thing he remembered after the machine had struck the wire was seeing the car plunging over the embankment, more than a hundred feet below. QUICKLY RECOVERED. Mr. Cattin' was shocked when the car came in contact with the charged wire, and he believed that it made him unconscious for a brief period. However, he was all right in a few minutes and was also able to take a street car for his home. Mr. Cattin' said that the fact that he didn't take the car with him with the car had killed was nothing but this unfortunate. YOUD think we could all quite agree That the turkey is merely a bird, But peruse this and quickly you'll see That the species is merely inferred. Uncle Jim, for example, will show That our strutting, fat gobbler out there Isn't properly classified so, But is rather a "perfect old bear." Sister Kate's view is odd, to say least, For she claims, as Thanksgiving draws near, She can see that for gracing a feast Our old gobbler will be simply a "dear." But my dad has that turkey enrolled In a family that's noted for buttin'. Though that tuk wasn't raised in a fold, Dad remarks, "You're my Thanksgiving mutton." But the turkey has sized up his kind In a way that's most worthy of note, For he gobbles each time he has dined, "They are fattening me—I am the goat." To Stuff the "Bird." The chestnuts for stuffing the turkey may be the sweet little native ones or the larger ones from the Mediterranean countries. Cut a gash in the shell. Brush them over with melted fat and spread on a shallow pan in the oven for a short time. Then the skins will peel off with the shells or the nuts may be boiled to loosen the shells. THANKSGIVING IS "OLD HOME" DAY It is well to bark back now and then to the old days and the old ways. Thanksgiving day in the begin- ning was a New England holiday. It is only of late years that it has been homesteaded in the rest of the country and made a federal observance. Ex Secretary of the Navy John D. Long in a reminiscent article told how the Pilgrims celebrated it. He wrote: "A man must have been born in a New England village more than a generation ago to know the full old time flavor of Thanksgiving day. Then was the day of the 'old home.' Then families were large. Flacks of Boys and girls were in evidence and filled the half dozen or more scattered schoolhouses which since then have become so depopulated that most of them have been abandoned, and the vastly diminished number of successors of former crowds of scholars are carried back and forth in a single ambulance to some more pretentious structure at the village center. Then holidays were rare. New Year's day and Washington's birthday and Christmas, still under the blight of the old Puritan protest, were for the most part unobserved. Fast day had no significance in the way of its recognition, except possibly a sermon, if the snow was off the ground, or a game of ball. The Fourth of July was an outdoor celebration, often as quiet as a Sunday after the old sultan had been fired off at sunrise. The crowning festival of the year was Thanksgiving, the festival of the frostie when the apples and pumpkinkins had been gathered, when the earl snowflakes had fallen and when grandfather and grandmother and Uncle Isaac and Aunt Betsey were invited to dinner, and any boy who had strayed away to an occupation elsewhere same back with the appetite of a house and burst in at the kitchen door with a shout and got the hearty home greeting. It was, "Hello, mother—nobly then said, 'mamma'—and, 'Well, if that isn't son, Sam.' Then the 'best crier' had been killed and his quarters stored for the winter's only supply of fresh meat.

IN THE TENEMENTS. thanksgiving Brings Good Cheer, and Kiddies Understand Day. The spirit of Thanksgiving penetrates not only the attics and tenements of the poor of the big cities, but many dwellings of the sick and unfortunate. In the great hospitals the kiddies in the convalescant wards have a real Thanksgiving dinner, and as a member of a hospital staff said: "Most of them are thankful they're in the hospital on Thanksgiving day. If they be the best place for them. If they were at home they'd be amenable and lonely most probably. In the hospital there are other children about with whom they can celebrate." In practically all of the Settlement between the harvest Bust is enjoyed, whatever the nationality of the "neighbors," No better Bahkan or Pute but learn the joy of "tending day." One woodworker just what "These, teacher, Thanksgiving in the day what my mother gets a turkey by the church. It is to be thankful to the Lord for the things we're thankful for." It took a public schookeescher to explain the glibness of these little foreign tongues. "Why, of course," she said, "they learn the story of Thanksgiving almost before they can speak English. They have pictures of the pilgrims and the Indians, harvest fields and pumpkins and corn and turkeys. Well, I don't suppose they ever saw pumpkins growing or have any conception of what harvest means to the farmers, but they're clever little things. They have some kind of vision of something good. It's wonderful how quickly they acquire a venero of American idea. It's only a venero, and it's pretty thin in places, but it gets them through." A THANKSGIVING OF LONG AGO THE fondest memory I cherish is of my boyhood Thanksgiving," said Chauncey M. Depew, "and, although Thanksgiving may be now just the same as they were then, they did not seem the same to me not by a long shot. "When I was a lad I lived at Peekskill upon a farm, our country estate and the same which now belongs to me. We awoke on Thanksgiving day at early dawn and were up dancing and singing with glee. There were to be no gifts, of course, but the house was full of company, who were with us to spend the day, and that fact, together with the presence of about a dozen little cousins, made the Depew boys and girls very early risers and merry from the minute the sun awoke. My father and mother were very strict. They did not think Thanksgiving. J. H. H. "WE ALL BURIED INTO A GREAT LIGHT, ing a day for play or memention of any sort until one had been to church and given thanks. So my mother always got up early to keep us finished up, and my father also goes to be sure that we did not do any laughing. we always had a good job added. "Then came church time! And into a great stoleh we all bandled. It seems to me how that we had snow earlier in those days, for I can remember being stowed away under the robes like a little animated mammary not expected to see light until moved at the end of the journey. There always was a very long church service, and poor mother enclosed all her time comforting or framing upon us as the occasion seemed to demand. After a time church was out. Then came the dinner and the tea. For in the old time Thanksgiving celebrations the whole character of the day changed after church, and what had before been the sisterest Sunday could become as righteous as the teachers could make it. "Oh, what a dinner we had!" I think now we must have been very rich folk to offer so much. In those days no one had course dinners. And the table was set" when the family filled into the room, and the center of the feast was turkey nothing but turkey. "After dinner came the dessert. This always consisted of thirteen different kinds of pie. I used to eat all thirteen, and my father was proud of me for it. If anything happened so that I could not get beyond the twelfth kind of pie, father rilled me upon growing weak and mother looked anxious for my health. I can see three triangles of pie now. There was mine, of course, then came 'punkin' apple, cantalou, coconut, lemon, prune, blackberry (canned), dried peach and several others, winding up with crabberry. It was a great treat for us boys, who never at any other time in the year really had all the pie we could eat. After dinner we eat down quietly in the parlor and my grandmother told us stories. We were, ourselves, quite too full for utterance. Surely too full for play. "But the sequel to Thanksgiving day was most interesting of all. "It followed on Thanksgiving night, just like a Nemesis. And its program was this: When it came time for all to go to bed my mother would call us children in the pantry, and then came the little dose which was to counteract all bad effects of the overturing process. My dose was always castor oil. And well I remember how it was prepared. First into the cup went a great deal of molasses. Then came a spoonful of oil. Then more molasses. This I had to drink. Since then I have spent many Thanksgiving days, but I never enjoyed any as well as those—except the caster all afterward." YOU can pray much better to God if you say to yourself as follows: "Consider that this great universe, of which the art only a trivial atom, is governed by fixed laws and be therefore content in all things to abide therby and especially to die at any time and submit to God's will of then, whether of individual future life or dissolution into universal mind and matter." That is the spirit in which we should approach Thanksgiving day each year. It is the day when we make special recognition of the existence and rulership of God. On that day we should thank him for those fixed laws which are designed to work out the best result for all of his creatures. On that day we should consider whether we have conformed thereto and resolve again not to go contrary to them during the coming year. Do not say that such religion or philosophy deprives us of our free will. Nay, it does not. The Tree will which God leaves with us is freedom to conform to these fixed laws or to deviate from or go against them. That is the free will which we have, and we should resolve to exercise, it properly. These are the things which Thanksgiving day brings to our minds.—William J. Gay. nor. \(x^{2}+y^{2}=r^{2}\) They're Grateful to America. An English writer on foods has said: "The modern table owes more to Columbus than to any other than can be named. The discovery of America, which takes the canvassed duck, the potato, the tomato, cocon, vanilla and a host of good things." BRITISH TAKE 4000 PRISONERS Strongly Fortified Beaumont-Hamel Was Captured by Storm After St. Pierre Division Fell. The number of German prisoners taken by the British in the new drive in the Ancre sector of the Somme front is now more than 4000, accord- ing to an official statement issued by the London war office. The British broke through on the whole five mile front north and south of the river. It is the first time that the English have delivered a grand assault without out the cooperation of the French since the big drive against Bapaume and Peronne opened on July 1. The capture of Beaumont-Hamel, which was reported unofficially, is announced in the statement. The ap- ture of St Pierre Division was record ed on Monday. The war office says: "We stormed the heavily fortified village of Beaumont Hannel and advanced to the outskirts of Beaucoup-BurAncre. The number of prisoners is increasing considerably. Over 400 have paraded through collecting stations since Monday morning. The fighting continues." All the positions that the British infantry stormed had been in German hands for two years, and every insignia of the German engineers had been brought to bear to make them improbable. There were line after line of trenches, barbed wire entanglement, many yards deep and innumerable dugouts. The main aims of the attack were to strain the line north of Thiepval and the Ancre, where there was a German salient at Beaumont-Hamel to reach toward the strongly defended town of Miraumont, three miles behind Beaumont-Hamel, and to take the first step toward Bapaume directly from the west. The same advance puts the British lines nearer than ever before to the important railroad junction of Achleite-Grand, three miles northwest of Bapaume. In this attack the possession of the high ground at Thiepval, which the British captured last month, was of great benefit. A great part of the Ancre valley is dominated from the Thiepval spur, and the british artillery was able to fire upon clearly discernible targets, which was impossible if the first period of the Somme attack South of the Ancre lies St. Pierre Division. The village once taken, the line was swung further north in a semi-circle, until it reached the Ancre FOND HOPES BLASTED She had been employed in the family long enough to know that sufficient "joy-water" and ale had been stored up by the head of the house to maintain the wants of a small-sized army for a lengthy dry period. She had assisted in storing the ardent spirits in "the little room upstairs," before prohibition had become effective, but she had not been able to "take a nip" as yet. She had tried every well-known subterfuge, all in vain. Her alimentary canal had not been messed by "John Backhouse" since the beginning of the drought. This dry business had begun to get near Benccourt, about a mile beyond St. Pierre Dysson. North of the shore the light for Benoît-Hamel was the Sector of the day. This village was fortified as strongly as Thiepval Realf. It was believed to be impregnable. German princes said. There were chains of connected machine gun redoubts, elaborate telephone and electric lighting systems all underground, and most important of all, great caverns as large as any found on the Somme front, in which battalions of infantry could be deterred.

Joseph Norman, the leaper, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., has applied to Dr. Samuel Dixon, of the state department of health, for permission to leave this city and go to friends in New York state, who have promised him work as a farmer. *Some time ago Dr. Dixon gave permission to city authorities to lift the quarantine on the Norman home Since that time Norman has been about the streets, coming and going as he pleased. Norman has discovered, that it will be impossible to get work in this section and because of that he has asked Dr. Dixon for the right to go to his friends.

CLASS BY SAX ROHMER Copyright, 1915, by Lippincott's Magazine Copyright, 1915, by Moehead, Nate & Co. - PROLOGUE In this unusually entertaining mystery story the author, cleverly combining the workmanship of Conan Doyle with the imagination of Poe, weaves a plot that does not vex the reader, but whets his appetite. Adventure lurks on every page. It is a tale of weird characters and weird environments—of crime that burrows stealthily beneath the city and yet creeps into the highest places. Mr. Rohmer, an enthusiastic student of obscure oriental cults, heightens the adroit surprises and dramatic turns of his speeding story with master touches of uncanny atmosphere that will fascinate and astonish the most jaded reader of mysteries. ENRY LEROUX wrote busily on the light of the table lamp, softened and enriched by its mosaic shade, gave an appearance of added opuence to the already handsome appointments of the room. The little table clock ticked merily from half past 11 to a quarter to 12. Into the cozy, bookish atmosphere of the novelist's study penetrated the unfilled chime of Big Ben, it chimed the three-quarters. But, with his usual centered upon his work, Leroux wrote on ceaselessly. An old figure of a man was this popular novelist, with pearly and mutely hair which lessened the otherwise striking contour of his brown. A neglected and impuretous figure in a baggy, neutral colored dressing gown—a figure more fitted to a garret than to this spacious, luxurious workroom. The doorbell rang. Leroux, fondness of external matters pursued his work. But the doorbell rang again and continued to ring. "Sonmest" cried Leroux irritably "Sonmest! Why the deeds don't go to the door." Leroux stood up, dashing his pen upon the table. "I shall have to suck that man!" he cried. "He takes too many liberties—stopping out until this hour of the night!" He pulled open the study door, crossed the hallway and opened the door beyond. In, out of the darkness—for the stain lights had been extinguished—staggered a woman, a woman whose pale face exhibited, despite the ravages of sorrow or illness, signs of quite unusual beauty. Her eyes were wide opened and terror sticker, the pupils contracted almost to wrathing point. She wore a magnificent cloak of clivet fur wrapped tightly about her, and as Leroux opened the door she tottered past him into the lobby, glancing back over her shoulder. With his upraised hands plunged pathetically into the mop of his hair, Leroux turned and stared at the intruder. She groped as if a darkness had descended, clutched at the sides of the study doorway and then, unsteadily, entered and sank down upon the big chesterfield in utter exhaustion. "Close the door!" she cried boastfully. "Close the door! He has followed me!" The disturbed novelist as a man in a dream, turned, retreated his steps and closed the outer door of the flat. Then, rubbing his chin more vigorously than ever and only desisting from this exercise to fumble in his disheveled hair, he walked back into the study, whose Athanaseum calm had thus mysteriously been violated. His visitor kept moistening her dry tips and swallowing emotionally. "Madam," began Leoux nervously. He had a hazy impression that his visitor beneath her fur was most inadequately clothed, and, seeking confirmation of this, his gaze strained downward to where one little allipped foot peeped out from the clvet fur. Leroux suppressed a gasp. He had caught a glimpse of a bare ankle. He crossed to his writing table and seated himself, glancing aloofly at this living mystery. Suddenly she began in a voice tremulous and scarcely audible: "Mr. Leroux, at a great—at a very great personal risk I have come tonight. What I have to ask of you—so endearment of you will—will" Two bare arms emerged from the fur, and she began clutching at her throat and beaten as though choking—drying. Leroux hung up and would have run to her, but fretting a ghostly smile, she waved him away again. "It is in all right," one mothered, wrinkling her face. BOL. Brightful squeeze of pain con- CHAPTER I. valued bar, comforting her palo face. "Some brandy!" cried Leroux anxiously. "If you please," whispered the visitor. She dropped her arms and fell back upon the chesterfield insensible. Leroux clutched at the corner of the writing table to steady himself and stood there looking at the deathly face. Under the most favorable circumstances he was no man of action. "Dr. Cumberly!" he muttered. "I "Dr. Cumberly!" he muttered. "I hope to heaven ho is in!" Without touching the recumbent form, upon the chesterfield, without seeking to learn, without daring to learn, if she lived or had died, Leroux, the tempo of his life changed to a breathless gallop, rushed out of the study, across the entrance hall, and, throwing wide the flat door, leaped up the stair to the flat above—that of his old friend, Dr. Cumberly. Thirty seconds were wanted to complete the cycle of the day, when one of the listless hands thrown across the back of the chesterfield opened and closed spasmologically. The fur at the bosom of the midnight visitor began rapidly to rise and fall. Then, with a choking cry, the woman struggled upright. Her hair, hastily dressed, burst free of its blind- A. M. M.

Clutching with one hand at her cloak in order to keep it wrapped about her, and hold it the other blindly before her, she rose, and with that same old, grooping movement, began to approach the writing table. The pupils of her eyes were more ph points now. She shuddered convulsively, and her skin was dowed with precipitation. Her breath came in agonized gasps. "God!—I am dying, and I cannot—tell him" she breathed. Feverishly, weakly, she took up a pen and upon a quarto page, already half filled with Leeroux's small, neat, illogible writing, began to scrawl a message, bending down, one hand upon the table and with her whole body shaking. Some three or four wavering lines she had written, when intimately, for the fat of Henry Leroux in Palace manslons lay within sight of the clock face. Big Ben began to chime midnight. The writer started back and dropped a great blot of ink upon the paper; then, realizing the cause of the disturbance, forced herself to continue her task. The chime being completed: One! boomed the clock; two, three, four! The light in the entrance hall went out. Five! boomed Big Ben-six, seven! A hand of old ivory hue, a long, yellow, clawish hand, with part of a sinewy forearm, crept in from the black lobby through the study doorway and touched the electric switch. The study was plunged in darkness! Uttering a sob—a cry of agony and horror that came from her very soul—the woman stood upright and turned to face the door, clutching the sheet of paper in one rigid hand. Through the leaded panes of the window above the writing table swept a silvery beam of moonlight. It poured searchingly upon the fur clad figure awaying by the table, cutting through the darkness of the room like some huge scimitar, to end in a palid pool about the woman's shadow on the center of the Persian carpet. Coincident with her sobbing cry—Nhl! honed Big Ben; ten! Two hands, with outstretched, crooked, clutching fingers, leaped from the darkness into the light of the moonbeam. "God! Oh, God!" came a frenzled, rasping ahrek—"Mr. King!" Straight at the bare throat leaped the yellow bands, a gurgling cry, rose, fell and died away. Gently, noticesily, the lady of the clover fur sank upon the carpet by the table. As she fell a dim black figure bent over her. The tearing of paper told of the note being sent cold from her frozen grip, but never for a moment the face or the form of her insistent crochure upon the moonbeam. Scribbling, the face and wrinkle vic. THE NORWICH PLANET, NORWICH, VIRGINIA stant evolved the light The deed had occupied so brief a time that but one note of the great bell had accompanied it. Twelve rang out the final stroke from the clock tower. A low, corte white, minor, rising in three irregular notes and falling in weird, unusual cadence to silence again, came from somewhere outside the room. Then darkness—stillness—with the moon a witness of one more ghastly crime. Presently confused and intermingled voices from above proclaimed the return of Leroux with the doctor. They were talking in an excited tone, the voice of Leroux especially sounding almor hysterical. They created such a disturbance that they attracted the attention of Mr. John Exel, M. P., occupant of the flat below, who at that very moment had returned from the house and was about to insert the key in the lock of his door. He looked up the stairway, but, all being in darkness, was unable to detect anything. Therefore he called out: "Is that you, Leroux? Is anything the matter?" "Matter. Exel!" cried Leroux. "Thorou's a devil of a business. For mercy's sake come up." His curiosity greatly excited, Mr. Excel mounted the stairs, entering the lobby of Leroux's flat immediately behind the owner and Dr. Cumberly, who, like Leroux, was arrayed in a dressing gown, for he had been in bed when summoned by his friend. "You are all in the dark here," muttered Dr. Cumberly, fumbling for the switch. "Some one has turned the light out!" whispered Leroux nervously. "I left it on." Dr. Cumberly pressed the switch, turning up the lobby light as Excel entered from the landing. Then Leroux, entering the study first of the three, switched on the light there also. One glance he threw about the room, then started back like a man physically atticken. "Cumberly!" he gasped. "Cumberly!" And he pointed to the furry heap by the writing table. "You said she lay on the chesterfield," muttered Cumberly "I left her there." Dr. Cumberly crossed the room and dropped upon his knees. He turned the white face toward the light, gently parted the cover fur and pressed his ear to the silken covering of the breast. He stood slightly and looked into the gaze eyes. Replacing the suit which he had disarranged, the plaster an stood up and fixed a keen gaze upon the face of Henry Leroux. The latter swallowed notably, noticing his parched lips. "Is she?" he beaten to "is she—" "God's not a Leroux," whispered Mr. Exel "What does this mean?" "The woman is dead," said Dr. Cumberly. In common with all tacitual men Dr Cumberby was a pale diplomat. He was a great friend and a proper thematically great philosopher. There fore, when he belonged to Henry Le Bonville's eye to the thematic and religious history and construction. With our further evidence than that furnish of by his persons of persecution he knew that the mystery of this we made death as impossible to himself. "Brace up, old child," he said, "you will want all your woes about you." "I left her," began Le Bonville fatigedly. "I left." "Love of old Cumberby, please I am not really about the thematic," he said, "you such a nervous child." "I make a effort, old fellow, I will yourself together." Mr. Leod, tapping his book, head of his previous cane, was finally at the doctor. "Here you are, Lorenzy," said Camberly. "Drink this up and let it rain, our facts in decent order to wee." "Please for the police?" concluded Exel, losing up upon the last speaker. Lorenzy shrank brimly at a gull's put down to the grass upon a little Perl slance office table with a band which had a snail" arrived to steady. "You are keen on the official forms Exel," she said with a wry smile. "I like this thing happening in your place." "I am good, dear Exel!" Exel bluntly. "You lack imagination," said Camberly. "Take a whiskey and soda and help me to search the flat." "Search the flat." The physician raised a forelinger for resentment. "Since you, I exel. If not actually in the building must certainly have been within sight of the street entrance at the moment of the crime and since Le Roux and I desided the stair and met you on the landing It is reasonable to suppose that the assassin can only so in one place here." "Here!" cried Evel and Leroux to gather. "Did you see any one leave the lower ball as you entered?" "No one. Emphatically there was no one there." "Then I am right." Leroux stood up; Cumberly forced him back. "Stay where you are, Leroux. It is elementary strategy to operate from a fixed base. This study shall be the base. Ready, Exel?" Exel nodded, and the search commenced. Leroux sat upon the settee, his hands resting upon his knees, watching and listening. Five or six minutes passed in this fashion. Leroux expecting each to bring a sudden outcry. He was disappointed. The searchers returned, Exel noticeably holding himself aloof and Cumberly very stern. Exel, a cigar between his teeth, walked to the writing table, carefully circling around the dreadful obstacle which lay in his path, to help himself to a match. As he stooped to do no, he perceived that in the closed right hand of the dead woman was a torn scrap of paper. "Korwinil Gamberly" he exclaimed, "come here." He pointed with the match as Cumberland hattempted to his side. Cumberland, somewhat where he sat, but watched with biggard eyes. Dr. Gamberly bent down and sounded tach the paper from the gill of poor cold fingers without waring it. Finally he contrived to release fragment, and, jerking it to a some written words, he paced it on beneath the lamp on the table and eagerly wannied it. lowering his mace also gray head close to the writing. He inhaled silently. "Do you see, Exel?" he jerked for Exel was bawling over his shoulder. "I do, but I don't understand." "What is it?" came hollowly from Leroux. "It is the bottom part of an un- identified note," said "cumely slowly." "It is written shakily in a woman's hand and it reads, 'Your wife'." Leroux springing to his feet and crossed the room in three strides. "Wife," he muttered. His voice seemed to be choked in his throat. "My wife! It says something about my wife?" "It says," resumed the doctor quietly, "your wife. Then there's a piece torn out, and the two words "Mr. King." No stop follows, and the line is evidently incomplete. "My wife" mumbled Leroux, staring unceasingly at the fragment of paper. "My wife," Mr. King! Oh, God! I shall go mad! "Sit down!" snapped Dr. Cumberly turing to him. "Hang it, Leroux, you are worse than a woman." In a manner almost childlike the novelist obeyed the will of the strongman, throwing himself into an amphibian chair and burying his fae in his hands. "My wife" he kept muttering in wife. Exel and the doctor stood staring at a one mother, when obliquely, from out side the hat, came a metallic clattering, followed by a little supplication.

James D. Walker, preached Sunday morning, November 19, eleven o'clock at Big Hill Baptist Church, from Acts 27:28-31, using as the base of his argument the 31st verse, "Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved." He made it plain to his hearers that as we have entered into the Church we must abide if we would make a safe harbor when time with us in this life is done. The voyage may be stormy, the sea may be rough, but we cannot hope to help ourselves by abandoning the ship. The only way of safety is found in abiding faith in the Captain, who keeps a strict watch over the entire crew as they call life's sea from earth to Heaven. November 19th, at eight o'clock, Rov. James D. Walker used as a text the 17th division of the Psalms, 15th verse. "As for me I will behold thee in righteousness, I shall be satisfied when I awake in Thy likeness." A beautiful imagination to awake for our dead state into the likeness of Our Maker and Creator, having accepted His guidance in life and done His will. A blessed state in which to find ourselves in the waking morning when He cometh. Great Citizens' Mass Meeting, Monday, November 20th, at High Street Baptist Church, eight P. M. Some prominent white citizens were among the speakers. The program was as follows: Master of ceremonies, Rev. J. H. Burks, D. D; invocation, The Rev. W. D. Woods, D. D.; musie, The High Street Choir; remarks, "The History of Burrell's Memorial Hospital," by Dr. J. H. Roberts, President; remarks, "The Need of a Colored Hospital." Miss Virginia Thacker, Superintendent Lowis Gale Hospital; remarks, "The Health of the Whole Community." Mrs. M. M. Caldwell; address, Col. James P. Woods; remarks, Dr. L. G. Pedko, Superintendent Association of Charities; remarks, "Our Ten Days' Campaign," Rev. M. E. Davis, D. D., Campaign Manager. This meeting opens the great ten days' campaign for the Burrell Memorial Hospital, which from the manifest interest shown at the opening, will have nothing short of a wonderful success. Last Sunday night, Troy, George C. Taylor, D. D., of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church delivered a most instructive and helpful sermon to a very attentive audience, from Acts 27th chapter, dwelling on and conforming his discourse to the following from the 23rd through the 31st verse, showing the adverse conditions under which sailors are surrounded during certain seasons of the year. The purpose of those in command and charge of the prisoners enroute for Rome, together with Paul, who though bound in fetters, gave counsel as to the voyage. After much suffering and peril, by failure to heed a previous warning, Paul, the man of God, thoroughly convinced that God would take care of the ship if all on board obeyed by abiding in the ship. Even now we, who are sailing over life's sea may rest assured that except we abide in the faith and stay with the Church, we cannot be saved. The Reverend made the subject of his discourse very plain, showing the power and force of a ship, its durable construction, but with all that human mind and human skill may do the works of their hand are nothing without the Lord build the house, since every good and perfect gift cometh from God. With all of the ability of the world's finest architecture, he received his ability, knowledge and all good from God. the Giver. We feel sure all who heard this wonderful discourse went home with sufficient food for thought for another week. Gainesboro Avenue seemed to have been the scene of runaway teams this morning. A little after seven o'clock a plumbing company's team, coming down Seventh Avenue, into Gainesboro Road at the corner of the Mt. Zion A. M. B. Church, became frightened by the fixtures on the wagon jogging him. He ran down the hill, painfully hurting one man. The other was not so seriously hurt. Charley Chaplin's Comic Capers About 18:10 a team owned by the ice company of the city ran away in Gainesville Avenue near the entrance to Gilmer Avenue and smashed the front wheels of a delivery motor truck owned by the McBain Furnishing Company. The wagon was inverted, breaking the tongue. Fortunately neither of the men were hurt. Excitement prevailed for a few minutes. Mrs. Elnora T. Lewis, who spent the spring in Clarence, Pa., arrived in the city Thursday, November 16th and spent four days at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. M. Stanfield. She has returned to Harrisburg. Mrs. Lewis expresses herself as having spent an enjoyable time in the city, after an absence' of four or five months. She goes to her home well recommended by the Church and congregation, of which she is a strong member. Her pastor is Rev. James H. Burks, D. D., of the High Street Baptist Church, Roanoke. Mr. Robert Joffress remains quite indisposed at his home on Sixth avenue, N. W. Mr. Albert Jackson is somewhat improved on Peach Road, North. Mr. Jackson has been in several wools. Boozo is gone, perhaps there will be easier roads to travel through Virginia. FOOT-BALL! Roanoke Autocrat A. C. met Petersburg Industrial Institute at the Fair Grounds Wednesday afternoon, and before a small crowd played a good game of football by displaying a variety of puzzling plays and trick formations and a series of aerial passes, the like of which has seldom been seen here. The eleven from Petersburg Normal and Industrial Institute decisively triumphed over the Roanoke Autocrats A. C. to the tune of 26 to 0. Owing to the cold weather the football supporters around town did not feel like going out to witness the game and only a small aggregation of white and colored people braved the cold wind from the West that was constantly sweeping over the muddy field. Both teams played good ball, considering the condition of the field. The tackling was hard and usually when the man carrying the ball was cut down, it was generally from behind. Herbert Harth of the Roanoke team was the outstanding star of the game. He was, in nearly every play, amashed through the line with almost unstopable plunges, tackled hard and his punt of 65 yards was one of the longest seen here this season. Captain Charles V. Hayden and the rest of the team played a good game. Roanoke—I. Eggleton, l. e.; C Davis, l. t.; D. Hale, l. g.; Barkedale, c; Stevens, r. g.; J. Locklayer, r. t.; C. Kates, r. e.; H.

Church, formerly of Donora. Miss Gayton left Wednesday morning for her home in Higginsport, O. A very enjoyable evening was spent. Miss Gayton will be romemembered by a host of friends who regret her departure. Mrs. Cordile May Carter of 467 8th Street is now confined to her bed suffering from an attack of appendicitis. We all hope her a speedy recovery as she is one of our bright light in literary work. We all regret to learn of the death of Mr. William Rhodes who died six minutes after his arrival at the hospital. Mr. Rhodes leaves a host of friends to mourn their loss. Mrs. R. Morgan was taken to the McKeesport Hospital Monday evening to undergo a serious operation. We all hope for her a speedy recovery. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lolnes were callers in Pittsburgh Sunday. Miss Lillie Graves entertained Miss Lillie Primas at a miscellaneous shower Thursday afternoon. The feature of the afternoon was "The Rocky Road to Matrimony." Miss Graves took every precaution to make the affair pleasant. Miss Primas was the recipient of many beautiful presents, Cupid being the center of attraction. The marriage of Miss Primas and Mr. Richard Bowman, of Pittsburgh has been announced to take place November 30, at the residence of the bride in Lock Four, Pa. Those present were: Miss Elnora Lucy Emerson, Gwendolyn Boyton of Charleroi; Miss Graco Primas, Eather Smith, of Sewickly; Mrs. Nannie Brown, Miss Rose Tuner, of Braddock; Mr. Richard Bowman, of Pittsburgh and Miss Annabelle Poaso, of Depora. The guest departed for their homes after spending a pleasant afternoon, all wishing Miss Primas a "Love road to Matrimony" instead of a rocky one. --- PECULIAR ACCIDENT A. E. Wilbur, a street car conductor, who lives at 20 South Robinson Street, sustained a broken leg Thursday night, November 16, shortly before six o'clock, near Third and Main Streets, when he was hit by another Main Street car while he was in the act of fixing his own trolley. The conductor was removed to Grace Hospital. Wilbur, who is conductor on a Main Street car, got off his car and was fixing his trolley, which had slipped, when the other Main Street car closed in on him. He was knocked up against his car, breaking his leg. Why the motorman of the rear car failed to see the conductor fixing the trolley was unexplained. GENERAL MARKETS PHILADELPHIA.

The United States Steel corporation announced an increase of ten per cent in the wages of the employees of its steel and iron companies, effective De- cember 15 next. Wage and salary advances in other departments of the corporation also will be capitably adjusted. It was stat- ed. The increase affects, in all, about 200,000 employees, and probably adds nearly $2,000,000 to the corporation's pay roll. Total salaries and wages paid to the company's 191,126 employees in 1916 aggregated $170,500,561. Since that time the number of employees has increased greatly and several wage advances have been made. It is estimated the pay roll of the corporation at this time is between $198,000,000 and $260,000,000, which implies an increase of approximately $210,000 under the higher rate of pay. This is the total advance within a year. On May 1 last wages were raised ten per cent, and on February 1 an advance of about the same proportion was announced. Prior to that time the corporation had restored the salary of the house men, which had been cut 12% per cent during the big depression of 1915. The average wage or salary per employee in 1915 was $292 a day, an increase of four cents daily over the previous year. The advance to take effect next week will raise the average of wages and salaries to the highest level in the history of the corporation. ```markdown ``` Making the Little Farm Pay Production of meat animals and the development of beef herds as leading features in mixed farming are the biggest questions in agriculture today. All over America there is a strong tendency among farmers toward beef production, and they are encouraged in this movement by high markets, the favorable attitude of buyers and a new economic situation. Profits are more than ordinarily satisfactory, and there seems to be a certainty of continued high prices. This is a question which interests every landowner. The smallest of farms, where there is any attempt to raise field crops, should have a few meat animals. Aside from the immediate profits, American agriculture demands that the average farm shall THE LAND OF THE LION WELL SELEC TED A VOICE ANIMALS OF THE RIGHT BLOOD WELL SELECTED AND NO ANIMALS OF THE RIGHT BLOOD produces its quota of live stock in order to condition its fertility. The writer a number of striking points in the five stock situation and therefore the level of pruning will be known as very good and the value of the market. In the next issue of the European journal work will be a detailed description of American farmers to help them plant more intensively to market in the structure condition. Pankeys are one of the highest prices ever recorded and the prices are quite by a top price to sell live animals before the condition. A few difficulties are at hand of farmers because to sell finished cattle which have reached the weight of 1,000 to 1,500 pounds at the age of one year. Half of beef speaking in round figures should not be under 1,000 pounds for the average, and with correct feeding of selected stock there is no difficulty in teaching this figure. Calves have to be forced and must be handled with skill, otherwise there will be disappointment, as conditions must be good to give substitutional success. A word about the cost of raising and feeding this class of stock may be encouraging. While it is best to allow calves to run, with their damns for three or four months, this method can be not outside where milk contracts will not permit of such feeding. In any case the use of whole milk is necessary at first, but gradually, calves may be accustomed to skimmal in which has been placed a small portion of shorts or brains. They will thrive on this diet and in a short time will be consuming considerable mill stuffs, grass and slage. To a great extent farmers may cut out western feeders and substitute domestic calves for the quick growing of marketable cattle. There is thus a large saving in the initial cost, and a high quality of baby beef can be produced at the expense of about 4 cents a pound, possibly a little less, and this allows for the original value of the animal and the worth of feed and labor up to the time of marketing. The plain and simple proposition of producing a high quality of beef and realizing a profit of 100 per cent is not all there is to this argument. Well selected young animals of the right breed will grow their first thousand pounds of flesh more cheaply than an additional 400 pounds can be put on in the second year. Therefore if an animal can be properly finished at a weight of 1,000 to 1,200 pounds in a year, so that it classes as topnotch beef, it is poor economy to carry it over for the purpose of getting additional weight. This second year's growth will not show a very high rate of profit, because a larger proportion of grain and other expensive feeds will be necessary. There will always be animals that do not come up to expectations in a year either as to size or quality of beef, and those may be carried over in line with old methods of feeding. It is almost necessary to say to stalk ralers that they can only produce satisfactory baby beef with selected animals. There is no better crop for making good silage than corn and under most conditions where corn will make a good crop it is to be preferred to any mixture. However, there are occasions when it may be desirable to make more silage than the corn crop will provide or when the silage will be the most economical stock for other crops, such as soy beans or cowpeas. When both soy beans and cowpeas grow equally well we would or almost prefer the former because of their more excellent habit of growth. When either of the is ensiled with corn a good ratio is one load of the legume crop to two loads of corn, or, if the corn crop is short, the ratio may be changed to two loads of legume to one of corn. The soy beans or cowpeas should be mixed with the corn as fed into the cutter.—Hoard's Dairyman. 2024年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试 FALL·ONION PLANTING. Expert Advice Planting of Sets and Large Bulbs In Fall.

The onions are planted in rows eight centre two inches apart. The large onions are placed side by side in the apart and the sets three inches apart.

ABOUT BEEKEEPING. A great many people fear the sting of bees, but it is just as the western country was years ago, when there were large herds of cattle. Very little butter was made because the cows were so wild and kicked so much that only one or two per family were milked. Now, however, with the improved breeds, nearly every farmer has butter and cream the year round and often receives a slice. One from the sale of these products. The same applies to bees. The stinging black and hybrid bees have given place to gentle Italians. In the first place don't fool with black bees, any more than you would attempt to milk Texas bees. Get pure Italians. In the second place don't monkey with boxes or guns to keep them in, but get modern fxtures. Don't try to produce cash honey in pound boxes. An expert beekeeper is required to make it a success anywhere. Don't imagine that you can get rich at the business just because you take off, say, 200 or 300 pounds of honey some yeara—Farm Progress.

For your convenience qualities of certain kinds of vegetable seeds have been produced in this country, different kinds in different sections, and have given no good crops as any that could be imported other kinds, however, have seldom proved of good quality when grown here. That is especially true of celery seed. Consider celery seed is grown in California, but it cannot be imported with that which comes from France. Much earlier, rudish and beet seed comes from limone. These seeds are produced in California, too, but it is a wild fruit that the remarkable vitality shown by California seeds is considered by many growers to be a disadvantage, especially in the case of root crops, for the tops grow with great luxuriance at the expense of the roots. A considerable amount of carrot seed is grown in eastern Massachusetts, mostly in the towns of Danvers and Middletown. This seed sells for $5 a pound and gives excellent crops. Nearly all the cannflower seed used in this country comes from Denmark, and the best is expensive, costing up to $20 a pound. The best is none too good, however, and many failures in growing cannflower are due solely to the fact that cheap seed is used. It may not be worth while trying to grow cannflower seed in this country, but farmers and market gardeners often and it to their advantage to save their own earl, beet, onion, corn pea, bean, cucumber and melon seed. In the middle west and in Michigan it is a very common practice for seed dealers to contract with farmers for the growing of seed crops. More than 5,000 acres are devoted to the growing of vegetable seeds for one company in Michigan, 1,000 acres being given over to cucumbers alone. One Philadelphia concern is said to have arranged to buy the products of 20,000 acres in a single season. Although Michigan is famous for its cucumbers, a considerable number are raised in Massachusetts. Large quantities of sweet corn and squash seeds are produced in New England.

LOUIS APPEAL Great Argument-Counsel for Colored Folks Make Able Plea-The Rights of a Property Owner-The Appeal to the Supreme Court (Continued from Last Week.) Though the law itself be fair on its face and impartial in appearance, yet, if it is applied and administered by public authority with an evil eye and an unequal hand, so as practically to make unjust and illegal discriminations between persons in similar circumstances, material to their rights, the denial of equal justice in still within the prohibition of the use of the name of the person of interpretation has been sanctioned by this court in Henderson v. Mayor of New York. 92 U. S. 259; Chyng Lung v. Freeman, 92 U. S. 275; Ex parte Virginia, 100 U. S. 339; Near v. Delaware, 103 U. S. 370; and Soon吊 v. Crowley, 113 U. S. 703. "The fact of this discrimination is admitted. No reason for it is shown and the conclusion cannot be resisted, that no reason for it exists except hostility to the race and nationality to which the petitioners belong, and which in the eye of the law is justified. The discrimination is therefore legal and the public administration which enforces it is a denial of the equal protection of the laws and a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution." In Strader vn. West Virginia, (100 U. S. 303), the court had under consideration a statute of West Virginia that prohibited colored persons from serving as jurors in the courts of that State. In discussing the legality of the court, the court, among other things (commencing on p. 306), said: "It (the 14th Amendment) was designed to assure to the colored race the enjoyment of all of the civil rights that under the law are enjoyed by white persons, and to give to that race the protection of the general government, in that enjoyment, that should be enjoyed by the States. It only gave citizenship and the privileges of citizenship to persons of color but it denied to any State the power to withhold from them the equal protection of the laws, and authorised Congress to enforce its provisions by appropriate legislation. * * * It ordains that no State shall make or enforce any laws which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. It ordains that no State shall disprove any person's property under any process of law, or deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. "What is this but declaring that the law in the States shall be the same for the black as for the white, that all porsous, whether colored or white, shall stand equal before the laws of the States, and, in regard to the colored race, (for whose protection the Amendment was primarily designed), that no discrimination shall be made against them by law because of their color? * * * "The Fourteenth Amendment makes no attempt to enumerate the rights it designs to protect. It speaks in general terms and those are an comprehensive as possible. Its language is prohibitory; but every prohibition implies the existence of rights and immunities, prominent in which an entity from inequality, of legal protection, either for life, liberty or property. Any State action that denies this immunity to a colored man is in conflict with the Constitution." In Virginia v. Rines (100 U. S. 313), the court held, that the object and purpose of Sections 1977 and 1978 of the United States Revised Statutes (the sections quoted and rolled upon in the bill filed in this case) and of the enactment of these sections, was to place the colored race on a level with the white race with respect to their civil-rights, and that these statutes made the rights and responsibilities civil and criminal, of the two races exactly the same. To the same effect was the opinion that the court in Exposition 1978 held that the rule announced in the cases from which we have just quoted shall be here applied, then these ordinances should be held void because they not only deny to complaintants, who are colored citizens, "the equal protection of the law," but because they deprive complaintants of their "without due process of law" by excluding them from the area of their compliance color. But as we now pass to another political situation, we need to inforce a police regulations We have already said that we do not question the right of States and cities to adopt and enforce. In the exercise of their police power, all such reasonable laws and ordinances as may, in the judgment of the courts, be necessary to preserve the public peace, health and morals; but where in this record is the evidence that such ordinances as these are necessary in order to preserve or promote either the morale, health, or safety of any citizen? If the need of such ordinances must of such public notions should be not proof, take judicial action on their necessity in order to prevent conflict, rioting and bloodshed between the white and colored races? And, in this connection, I ask counsel for defendant, to state when and where, in the history of this city since the days of the ennacipation, there has been collusion and conflict between the white and colored people. But my friend Orifian, who represents the defendant, reads to me the titles of these offenses and they sound so threatening and seem so full of conflict that we almost shrink as he reads. But he well knows that these offenses are not necessary in order to prevent in this city any such abuse of authority as thereby threaten Mag. And, exculte, thereby titles, here is nothing; even to aug- gest, that such ordinances are neces- sary in order to preserve, the peace, health or safety of any one. The title to the ordinance designated as "No. 1" is as follows: "An ordinance to prevent ill-feeling, conflict and collisions between the white and colored races in the city of St. Louis, and to preserve the public peace and safety of the people fare by making reasonable provisions requiring the use of separate blocks for residence by white and colored people respectively." "How will counsel assort, as a legal proposition that this Court is bound by that recital? Is this Court re- quired to find and decree that these ordinances are necessary to preserve the public peace and prevent conflict between the white and colored races, health or safety in the titles that they are intended for that purpose? If so, where do they find authority for that contention?" In the case of Yates vs. Milwaukee, from which we have already quoted, that very question was raised and discussed. The Common Council of Milwaukee was authorized by an act of the legislature to regulate and remove obstructions and prevent occlusion upon the channel of the river. In pursuance of that statute the Common Council of Milwaukee passed an ordinance declaring that a wharf owned by Yates, and extending into the river, was an obstruction and hazard. In determining the question thus presented, Mr. Justice Miller said: "The mere declaration of the city council of Milwaukee that a certain structure was an encroachment or obstruction did not make it so, nor could it be made that it a nuisance unless it in fact was done. He then added, that it was a doctrine not to be tolerated in this country that without resort to any court, in which it could be shown that a given structure was or was not a nuisance, a municipal corporation could, by its mere declaration that it was one, subject such structure to rejection, and that it was supposed to be aggrieved, even by the city itself. And in conclusion, on that point, the court said: "This would place 'every house, every business, and all the property of the city, at the uncontrolled will of the temporary local authorities. Yet this seems to have been the view taken by council who defended this statute in the 1920s, and the statute ordinance of the city, declaring the wharf of Yates a nuisance and ordering its abatement, in the only evidence in the record that it is a nuisance or an obstruction to navigation, or in any manner injurious to the public." The case of Coppage vs. Kansas (236 I. S. 1.), arose under a statute of Kansas entitled as follows: "to act provide a person with the opportunity to provide, making demands upon, or requirements of employees, servants, laborers and person asking employment." The act made it unlawful, for any employer, to require any person to enter into an agreement, either written or verbal, not to join any labor organization as a condition to receiving into it, or to joining in, any employment. Coppage was superintendent of the "Franco" lines in Kansas, and one Hedges was employed by the company, for no fixed, or agreed period, as a switchman. Coppage requested Hedges to agree to resign his membership. In the case of his remaining Union" as a condition to his resignation in the career, and as Hedges救出, he no he was discharged. Coppage was then arrested and fined in the State Court, but a writ of error to the Supreme Court of the United States was granted on the ground that the Kansas statute deputies page of that freedom to enter into, contracts that was guaranteed to him, and all other citizens, under the Fed- In support of the statute, it was argued by counsel that the State might. In the exercise of its "police power," prohibit an employer from "coercing" an employee and fasten the main purpose of the statute as shown by its title, was to prevent an employer of labor from "coercing" his certain conditions in that contention the "Now, it seems to us clear, that statutory provision which it not legitimate police regulation cannot be made such by being placed in the same act with a police regulation, or by being enacted under little that declares a purpose which would be a object for the exercise of that power. It is equally clear, we think: that to punish an employer or his agent for simply proposing certain terms of employment, under circumstances deprived of coerion, duress, or undue influence, has no reasonable relation to a declared purpose of pressing coerion, duress, or undue influence. Nor is a State by design, to "coerion" conduct which is not such in truth, render criminal any normal and essentially innocent exercise of personal liberty or, of property rights; for to permit this would deprive the Fourteenth Amendment of its effective force in this regard." So, in the case of State of the relation of Othellone vs. Leffingworth, (64 Ma., 458), with which Your Honour is familiar, it appeared that the State constitution of Missouri adopted in 1865 prohibited the legislature from creating any corporation by special act "except for municipal purposes." The legislature, later on, passed an act in which it declared that the corporation created by it was "for municipal purposes" and that it constituted the court act: "The declaration that the corporation is for municipal purposes does not make it so. * If the legislature THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA fure can do this, it is difficult to set any bounds' to their power. The constitution never contemplated such an exercise of power, but sought on the contrary to place a prohibition on it its language, fairly and properly in interpreted, does not countenance it. The ingenious arguments that have been made to sustain the validity of the act resolve themselves into plausible pretexts for violating the platinum meaning of the constitution." So, in the later case of State waived Jaloue (129 M2, 163), the court not only considered the question of whether it was bound to accept and enforce, but also the question of whether the "police power" of a State or city was paramount to the Federal Constitution. In passing on these questions the court said: "Nor can the statute escape;censure by assuming the name of a police regulation. It has none of the elective jurisdiction of a state such a regulation, for it does not in terms or by implication promote, or tend to promote the public health, welfare, comfort or safety; and if I did, the State would not be allowed under the guise and pretence of police regulation, to encoach or trample upon any of the just rights of the state with constitution intended to secure against diminution or abridgement. But, passing without further comment, the question of whether the court should not consider what is necessary and as evidence of their necessity, desert in this case the broad proposition that all State statutes and city ordinances, without regard to the purpose for which they are enacted, do so far as they conflict with the Constitution and laws of the United States. The case of Truax vs. Ralch (232 U. U., 233) arises under the jurisdiction of Arizona, which provided that not less than eighty per cent. of all persons employed by every person or corporation in that State took an elector or native born citizen of the United States. Ralch (the appellate) was an Austrian and not a qualified elector. He was employed by Truax as a cook in a restaurant, and upon the passage of the law Truax informed Ralch that, on account of its passage in his penalty imposed for its violation of the law, he charged him. Thereupon Ralch filed his bill in the District Court of the United States to which he made Truax, and the necessary county and State officials, defendants. In his bill he prayed for an injunction restraining the defendants, from enforcing the statute, around that the statute was in violation of the Federal Constitution because it denied to Ralch "the equal protection of the law." After a statement of the facts, the court reaffirmed (p. 35) its opinion in Yick Wow v. Hopkins, (118 U. S. 356) from which we have already quoted, and then continued (p. 41) as follows: "It is sought to justify this act as an exercise of the power of the States to make reasonable classifications in legislating to promote the health safety, morals and welfare of those within its jurisdiction. But this admitted authority, with the broad range of legislative discretion that it implies, does not go so far as to make possible for the States to deny to their inhabitants, because of their race or nationality, the ordinary means of a livelihood. It requires no argument to show that the right to work for a living in the common occupations of the community is of the very essence of the personal freedom and opportunity that it is the purpose of the Amendment to secure Butchers' Union Co. v. Crescent City Co. 111 U. S. 746, 762; Barber v. Connolly, 113 U. S. 72, 31; Ylew V. Hopkins, supra; Algever v. Louisiana, 165 U. S. 578, 589, 590; Coppage v. Kansas, 236 U. S. 1, 14. If this could be refused solely upon the ground of race or nationality, the prohibition of the denial to any person of the equal protection of the laws would be a barren form of words. It must also be said that reasonable classification implies action consistent with the legitimate interests of the State and, if it will not be disputed that these so broadly conceived as to bring them into hostility to exclusive Federal power." In the case of Lake Shore Rathburn Co. vs. Smith, (173 U.S.), the court was considering the constitutionality of a Michigan statute, which the defendant alleged was within the proper exercise of the police power of the State by suspending of that question the court said. "This power (the police power) must, however, be exercised in subordination to the provisions of the Federal Constitution. If in the assumed exercise of its police power the legislature fa State directly and plainly violates a provision of the Constitution of the United States such legislation would be void. In Jackson vs. Massachusetts (197 U.S.), the court, in discussing the nature of the populations" and the exercise of the power by man-made government said. It is true that the more likely local bodies called into existence for purposes of local administration with authority in some appropriate way to safeguard the public health and the public safety. The mode or manner in which these results are to be accomplished is within the discretion of the State, subject of, or concern of the Government, only to the condition that no rule prescribed by a State, nor any regulation adopted by a local government agency acting under the sanction of state legislation, shall contravene the Constitution of the United States or infringe any right granted or secured by that instrument. A local enactment or regulation, even if based on the acknowledged police powers of a State, must always yield in case of conflict with the exercise by the General government of any power it possesses and the Constitution, any right which that government gives or secures. Githona v. Odgrn, 6 Wheat, 1; Rimnot v. Davenport, 22 How, 227, 243; Missouri, Kannas 6 Texas Ry. Co. v. Habor, 169 U. S. 613, 628." So, In re Noate (39 Feb. 144), the question was, as to whether a State statute was valid that contrived a valid law of the United States. The case was, heard before two judges (Barnswy and Sathin), and in deciding the question, the court said: "The statute was valid, but the United States is the nature of things, necessarily void. It must give place to the "supreme law of the land." In the legal contemplation, there can no more be two valid laws, which are in conflict, operating upon the same subject-matter at the same time, then, in physics, two bodies can occupy the same space at the same time." And in this connection, and on this point, I beg to repeat the words of the court. In State vs. Julow, where in it was declared: "That the State will not be allowed under the gulce and pretone of a police, regulation' to encoerce or trample on any of the just rights of the citizens, which the Constitution intends to more against diminution or abridgement." And so, without further resort to court opinions in support of our contention" we will in conclusion quote the words of the Constitution itself wherein it is declared: "That this constitution and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof and the treaties made or which shall be made under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judge in any case shall be the judge in anything in the constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding." The point ruled in all the cases from which we have just quoted is that the Federal Constitution and laws made in pursuance thereof are "the supreme law," and that no right of any citizen, white or black, that be either conferred or protected by the Federal Constitution or by a Federal statute, can impress a bridge or a state statute or city ordinance enacted under the name of a "police regulation," or under any other name or pretext whatsoever. But again, before closing, I desire to call the attention of the court to a statute of the United States which was quoted with approval by the court in Yick Woo vs. Hopkins, and which we submit is sufficient in its so-called nullity all such ordinances in these. The Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution declares: "That all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the States wherein they reside. The application of the amendment it is provided that Congress shall have power to enforce by appropriate legislation all the provisions of that article. In pursuance of that power, it was many years ago enacted by Congress (Sec. 1788 Rev. States U. S.) that: "All citizens of the United States shall have the same right in every State all the Time that is enforced by the citizens thereof to inherit, purchase, occupy, lease, sell, hold and convey real property." And now, if it be true that the Constitution of the United States and laws made in pursuance thereof are the supreme law of the land; if it be true that, under the Constitution, all colored persons born in the United States are to be admitted to the Section 1978 of the Revised Statutes of the United States expressly provides that all colored citizens of the United States shall have the same right in every State and Territory to purchase, hold, occupy and convey real property, that is enjoyed by white citizens; and if it be true, as stated by the court, in Strander v. West Virginia (100 T., 303), that the same right of all colored persons the same for the black as for the white, and that all persons, whether colored or white, shall stand equal before the law," and that no discrimination shall be made against any "on account of their color"—then how can it be said that the city of St. Louis may, by such ordinances as these, be divided into "white blacks" and "blacks" to permit colored citizens to purchase and occupy real property, shall depend upon their color." We have not, in the presentation of this case, overlooked or failed to consider anything that was said by the Supreme Court in the case of McCaine et al. vs. Anderson Rc. Co. et al. (135 V. S., 151). In that case the statute of Oklahoma, which was under consideration, required all railroad companies, dealing in separate coaches for the use of the South and Negro races, which separate coaches should be equal in all points of comfort and convenience. In that case the Circuit Court of Appeals had expressed the opinion, that if the number of colored passengers to be carried was so small as to make it a burden on the railroads to provide separate coaches for their use (that should be equal in all respects), then provided for white passengers, then provided for railroad companies were not required to comply with the statute. In reply to that part of the opinion of the Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court in its opinion said: "Whether or not particular faculties shall be provided may, double less, be conditioned upon there being a reasonable demand therefore, but if licitations are provided substantively equality of treatment of person traveling under like conditions can be refused. It is the individual who is required to be admitted to the laws, and if he is denied by a common carrier, acting in the matter under the authority of a State law, a facility or convenience in the course of his journey, which under substantially the same circumstances is furnished to another traveller, he may properly complain that his constitutional privilege has been invaded." Judgment in the above case (McCabe vs. The R. K. Co.) was affirmed only on a question of practice, the Supreme Court holding that complainants had not in their petition shown themselves entitled to relief in a court of equity. And, in that case, the court had nothing before it that required a discussion of any question presented under these ordinances, or that required the court to either affirm or disaffirm any of its former opinions from which we have quoted, or to express any opinion respecting the meaning of Sec. 1987 of the Revised Statutes (which was expressly passed to give the Court the seventh Amendment) and which provides "That all citizens of the United States shall have the same right to every State and Territory as is enjoyed by white citizens thereof to inherit, purchase, occupy, lease, sell hold and convey real property." hold and convey real property.” The great question is: Do these constitutional provisions, these Federal statutes and court opinions already reside in a designated portion of the city, then all colored citizens may, by such ordinances as these, be excluded thereof? Will it be here contended that a “supreme law of the land” (which forbids discrimination against any citizen on account of color, under the guise of “police ordinances” filed by such city ordinance as these)? Or shall it be said that those “supreme laws” mean exactly what they say, and that all white citizens and colored citizens shall have “equal rights to own, occupy and enjoy real property” only in all the blocks of the city, in the city where the country floats and the Federal Constitution, all laws enacted in puruance thereof, are supreme? Mr. Lincoln was not a prophet, but he did understand human nature and he knew the disposition of the storms to oppress the weak; and it would seem that the very questions we are here discussing were in his mind when, in speaking in 1858 of those who had in 1776 framed the Declaration of Independence, he said: "When men as they were, they knew the technology of breeding tyrants and so they established those great self-selfident truths that when in the distant future some men come faction, some interest, should set up the doctrine that none but rioters, or orn, but white men, or none but Anglo-Saxon white men, were entitled to 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness', their posterity might look up again to the Declaration of Independence and take courage to renew the battle which their fathers began, so that truth and justice and all the human and Christian virtues were extinguished from the land; so that they should dare to limit and circumscribe the great principle on which the temple of liberty was being built." In conclusion we submit to Your Honor, that in view of the character and effect of these ordinances, as we have endeavored to point them out, a writ of injunction should now issue out of this court as prayed for in the bill, for reasons that may be briefly stated as follows: First. Because, if these ordinances shall be enforced, they will deprive complaintants of these natural rights to labor and acquire property and enjoy the use thereof, for the protection of which rights "governments are instituted among men." Second. Because, if these ordinances shall be enforced they will, in violation of the Federal Constitution, deprive complaintants of their property and the use of their property without complaint. Third. Because, to deny to complainants on account of their color (as provided in these ordinances), the right to occupy the property they may own, will be to deny to and each of them on account of their color) the equal protection of the law, as secured to them by both the Federal Constitution and the statutes from which we have quoted. It is not important to inquire here whether we do or do not like colored persons as neighbors. The great question is: Should the courts, that have in their keeping our lives, our liberties, and our property, by their judgments and decrees, preserve or surrender the board principles of human liberty on which this Government was established? THE END TALKS ON THRIFT When we speak of theft, the aver age man and woman immediately jump into conclusion that we mean merely the saving of money, and having been unable to save money, concludes that the practice of theft is an impossible achievement. We are apt to picture the man of theft as a "fightwad," so careful in money matters that it is painful both to him and those about him; he counts every penny with thoughtful care and spends it with regret, denies himself every rightful pleasure wears his clothes, and they are threadbare, eats the plained of food, and deposits his money in the saving-bank with the blike regularity. But that is a narrow thrift, and it may not be thrift at all; for the misthrift, although he may be a good example of saving. While thrift results in the saving of money, it is bigger in the saving of money that that. The man of thrift works hard to earn arms that he may spend wisely for the things that make life worth living. While he has an one on the future he does not forget that we live but once and are entitled to some of the good things of life as we go along. Too many people live so much in antifairy to the present that they miss the toys of the present. Too many deeds the future and, instead of preparing for it, worries about it. Satisfaction in life comes from two sources: First a knowledge that we have a part in the world's work and are playing that part, well. Second that we are ready for to-morrow. In the last analysis contentment both for today and to-morrow is merely a matter of dollars and cents. While money is not the chief end and aim of man, it is essential to the full enjoyment of life. A certain bank clerk who had worked in one institution, twenty years was summarily discharged, and a lifesaving found himself out of a job, a family to support and no money. He lifesaved went through hell before he found other work at far less contention, and all the loss he had in spending his money were overshadowed by the worry, the angst and the reinstitution process. If he could not save at least he did not and a few hundred dollars. In the bank now would look like a million to him. There are many in the same situation to whom the loss of employment would be a tragedy, full of grievance horrors. We mistake greatly the meaning of thrift if we conclude that it means simply self-demoral and saving; for while it does involve sacrifice, it is sacrifice for a purpose. Thrift serves for a purpose and amends for a purpose. There is a thrift that is mean and introspective and poke life of much of comforts, and there is a thrift that is THE STAR HAIR GROWER— A WONDERFUL, HAIR DRESSING & GROWER One Thousand Agents Wanted.

RUSSIANS RUSH TO RESCUE Von Falkenhayn Clinches Victory Against Allies by Capturing Big Railroad City. The important railway town of Calova, in western Wallachia, was occupied by German troops in mining Rumania, it was announced from Berlin. The capture apparently clinches the Austro-German hold on a large section of western Wallachia and probably means the cutting, off of important Rumanian forces from their line of retreat by railroad. Cralova lies on the main line between Orsara and Bucharest, about 130 miles west of the capital. The Rumanian army retreating in the Jiu valley was falling back toward this town and was reported in the Petrograd official statement Tuesday to have reached the region of Fillinia, about forty miles northwest of Cralova. If General von Falkenharn's troops have beaten it to Cravona, as seems probable, its railway line of retreat thus is severed. Likewise, it would appear that the Rumanian force which had been operating in the Orsova region was seriously imperiled, if not out off, by this new Teutonic success Cravona before the war had a population of nearly 50,000, and was an active center of Rumanian trade. By bold and rapid strokes the Teutonic invaders apparently have conquered a large section of Northwestern Wallachia from the Rumanians. Petrograd's official bulletin announces a Rumanian retirement in this part of the battle front to the region of Pillash, forty miles northwest of Craiova. Judging from the recent reports of the operations, this means that converging attacks by Austro-German forces moving southward in the Jilul valley and eastward along the railway from Orsova have compelled the Rumanians to withdraw from the Otsova region and executed a rapih retreat in the Jilul valley. This more was made, it appears, to prevent the retreat of their armies from being cut off. In the other chief field of present military activity the Macedonian from French and Serbian troops are continuing their pursuit of the German and Bulgarian forces, while we evaluate Monastir under adverse pressure. Berl in reports the extreme advance here as a World war of the German-Bulgarian position by reconsidering detachments. The new line is initiated by press depictions to lie about seventeen miles northwest of Monastir and is reported to be strongly entrenched and defended in part by fresh German forces. East of the Macedonian region Berlin declares Serbian attempt to advance were repulsed. DEUTSCHLAND STARTS AGAIN German Merchant Submarine Leaves New London on Return Voyages.

President Wilson's recommendation for railroad legislation in his address to come will be virtually the same as those embodied in his special address in August, when a nation-wide railroad strike was threatened. The president discussed some of the details with the cabinet. In his special address the president made "six specific recommendations" Two providing for an eight-hour day as a legal basis of work and wages on railways, and for a commission to observe the operation of the law, were embodied in the Adamson act. The others, which remained unacted upon and which will be renewed by the president are: "I immediate provision for the enlargement and administration reorganization of the interstate commerce commission along the lines embodied in the bill recently passed by the house of representatives and now awaiting action by the senate, that the commission may be enabled to deal with the great and various duties now devolving upon it with promptness and thoroughness which are, with the present constitution and means of action practically impossible. "Explicit approval by the congress of the consideration by the interstate commerce commission of an increase of freight rates to meet such additional expenditures by the railroads as may have been rendered necessary by the adoption of the eight-hour day, and which have not been offset by administrative readjustments and economies, should the facts disclose justify the increase." "An amendment of the existing federal statute which provides for the mediation, conciliation and arbitration of such controversies as the present, by adding to it a provision that in case the methods of accommodation now provided for shall fall, a full public investigation of the merits of every such dispute shall be instituted and completed before a strike or lockout may be lawfully attempted. "The belief in the hands of the executive of the power, in case of military necessity, to take control over such portion of the railways of the country as may be required for military use, and to operate them for military purposes, with authority to draft into the military service of the United States such trade news and administrative official, as the circumstances require for their safe and efficient use."

President Wilson formally designated Thursday, November 29, as Thanksgiving day. Here follows the president's proclamation. "It has long been the custom of our people to turn in the frugal autumn in praise and thanksgiving to Alma, and many blessettes and mercies to present." The year that has clasped since we last observe our day of Thanksgiving has been rich in blessings to us as a people, but the whole face of the world has been in our hands and war in the midst of our persecution and oppression though dull with painful disquiet upon the struggles and sufferings of the nations at war and of the peoples upon whom war has wronged at disaster or in possession of possibility or capture in their path without thinking of our own happiness without thinking of our painful distress. "Now the store, I Woodrow Wilson, presides of the United States of America, to appoint Thursday the thirteenth day of Thanksgiving, and prayer, and urge and add the people to resort to their several places of worship on that day to render thanks to Almighty God for the blessings of peace and unhindered presence of the has, bestowed upon our beloved country in such unstituted measure. And I also urge and suggest our duty in this day of peace and abdication to think in deep sympathy with the people of the world upon whom the war has taken place, so plightfully fallen and contributed to a show abundant means to the relief of their suffering. Our people could in no better way show their real attitud towards the people of World War II by contributing out of the relief of the suffering which war has brought in its train.
