VOL. XVII Temperature Union Delegates Discuss National Affairs. COLD SHOULDER GIVEN PROHIS Attempt to Commit the Union to that Party Fails—Resolutions Adopted and Now Officers. Three prominent things marked the proceedings of the national convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union at Fort Worth Tuesday, the last, but one, of the session, viz.: The election of officers, the final deliverance of a platform of principles and a decision in respect to political action. The last was not accomplished without considerable debate, the extremists contending that as the convention had declared in its resolutions for Christian citizenshiplup, constitutional enactment concerning polygamy and monogamistic marriage and the necessity of prohibiting the manufacture, sale and distribution of alcoholic liquor by law, it would only be consistent to cast in fortunes with the present party pledged to all of these reforms. The conservative portion of the convention, however, held that as the cause of opposition to the liquor traffic had so far prospered through non-partisan action, "let well enough alone" should continue to be the motto. The latter prevailed. Besides the question of an alliance with the prohibition party and the consequent entrance of the union into politics, the greatest source of concern was over the attitude to be taken on the admission of Oklahoma and Indian territory to statehood. The executive committee had reported strongly against it, and for a time it looked as if the convention would follow its recommendation, but later the same sentiment that prompted alcohness from political action suggested that the burden be cast upon President Roosevelt, by asking him to refrain from recommending to statehood the two territories to his forthcoming message. The national banner of the Loyal Temperance Legion was won by Arkansas. Last year it was held by Pennsylvania. Resolutions Adopted. Resolutions were adopted as follows: 1. Advocating total abstinence as the only safe rule for each man and woman's habit of life. 2. Upholding the great principle of prohibition as the only righteous protection against the most unscrupulous and demoralizing traffic on earth. 3. Reaffirming the statement that the "American army is far better off without intoxicants of any kind," and indorsing the anti-canteen law. 4. Believing in a revival of Christian citizenship founded on divine ideals of righteousness. 5. Deploring the death of the late President McKinley at the hands of a cruel assassin, and especially that he should have fallen a victim to that insensate hatred of law or government which is represented in anarchy 6. Favoring the peaceful solution of labor troubles by arbitration, and calling upon workmen to join in the battle against the saloon. 7. Calling for perfect equality of men and women before the law. 8. Standing unqualifiedly for a white life, for pure manhood and protected womanhood, demanding an amendment to the constitution defining marriage as monogamous and punishing plural marriages by disqualification to vote or hold office in addition to severe penalties. The election of officers resulted in the selection of the following: President, Mrs. Lillian M. N. Stevens; corresponding secretary, Mrs. S. M. D. Fry; recording secretary, Mrs. Clara C. Hoffman; treasurer, Mrs. Helen Morton Barker; vice president at large, Miss Anna A. Gordon. At the afternoon session the following memorial was ordered wired to President Roosevelt: "To Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States: In behalf of the Indians of the Indian territory, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, in convention assembled, representing 300,000 women, earnestly entreat that if your forthcoming message to congress you recommend that no measures be taken which can imperil the existing prohibitory law or property rights granted to the Indians by solemn treaty of the United States government." Steamed Into Harbor Ablaze. The British steamship Manchester Corporation arrived at Newport News Tuesday afternoon with her cargo of cotton-afire. Tugs were put to work on the blaze. She was en route from Galveston.to Manchester, England. The Savannah Tribune. They Go Out to Arrest Notorious Counterfeiter and Their Charred Remains Found in Building. John A. Montgomery, deputy United States marshal pro tem., a respected citizen of Oxford, Miss., and Deputy United States Marshal Hugh Montgomery, of Pontotoc, left Oxford, late Saturday evening for the purpose of arresting Will Mathis an alleged counterfeiter and moonshiner, who lives 12 miles in the country. Early Sunday morning Hugh Montgomery's horse was found standing at the gate of Curdy Hall, a neighbor of Mathis, and Mathis' house burned to the ground. Upon further investigation two partially burned bodies were found in the ashes of the burned building, which have been identified as the remains of the deputy marshals. John A. Montgomery's horse has not been found, and it is supposed that Mathls made his escape on the animal after the men had been killed and the house set on fire. Mathls' wife was at her father's, a few miles from her burned home. She says she and her husband left home Saturday, her husband leaving the county. Mathls was indicted last summer 'or making and passing counterfeit money, and was out of jail upon a $2,800 bond. The principal witness against him was a negro living in the same neighborhood. About a month ago the negro was assassinated. The two Montgomerys went out to arrest Mathls for making illicit whiskey, and it is supposed that they were prevailed upon to remain for the night and were shot shot off their guard. A posse of thirty or forty of the leading citizens of Oxford went out to the scene of the murder and every effort will be made to capture Mathis. , BACK FROM THE ORIENT. Senator Bacon Arrives at San Francisco—Liloukulani Also Aboard. Senator Bacon, of Georgia, arrived in San Francisco Saturday afternoon on the steamship China. The georgia senator is well and reports a pleasant, as well as a profitable trip to the Philippine islands and the east. The senator was erroneously thought to be on the transport Hancock which was grounded in Japanese waters. He was to have returned to the United States on the transport Sheridan, out after she broke down at Nagasaki he determined he would not wait for another transport, but came on a liner so he would certain to reach Washington in time for the December session of Congress. Among the passengers on the China was ex-Queen Linoualani, of Hawaii, who comes to the United States on a visit. Besides seeking recovery of health, she has come to consult with the federal authorities relative to the crown lands of Hawaii. These were sequestered by the revolutionary government at the time the monarchy was overthrown and no attempt has since been made to reimburse her for the loss of the crown revenues, amounting to some $100,000 a year. DYNAMITE WRECKS TRAIN. Passengers Were Shocked, But All Escaped Injury—Was Plot of Robbers. The Southwestern Express on the Northern Central railway, due in York, Pa., at 10:44 p. m., Saturday was wrecked Friday night by a charge of dynamite placed under the track near the Blackbridge, a short distance north of York. The train was running at the rate of 45 miles an hour when the explosion occurred. Passengers on the train were severely shocked and consternation prcvled. All escaped injury. Four Pullman cars, a day' coach, a combination car and an express car composed the train. It is believed that the object of the perpetrators was robbery. Court Members Going Easy. The Schley court of inquiry held but one session Saturday as was the custom during the Saturdays while the court was in session, and an adjournment was taken at 12:30 for the day. It is thought the court will finish its work a short time before congress convenes. DANGEROUS VACCINATION. Lockjaw Follows Injection of Virus By Doctors In Camden, N. J. The alarm that has been caused by the nine cases of tetanus following vaccination in Camden, N. J., has aroused the city officials there to take official action in the matter. The board of health and the board of education each hold meetings Monday. The former decided to request physicians to cease vaccinating persons until an investigation as to the cause of the lockjaw cases has been made and the latter rescinded the order of compulsory vaccination of all school children. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 23. 1901. TRANSPORT ASHORE Staunch Vessel, Hancock, Meets Mishap in Japanese Waters. CONGRESSIONAL PARTY ABOARD Much Apprehension of Their Safety Is Felt—Among Them Is Senator Bacon and Correspondent J. K. Ohl, of Georgia. A special from Nagasaki, Japan, says; The United States transport Hancock is ashore on the south side of the straits of Shimonoseki. A German gunboat is assisting her. The transport grounded on a sandy bottom. On receipt of this telegram orders were cabled from the war department at Washington directing the quartermaster at Nagasaki to utilize the Sheridan to bring the passengers of the Hancock to the United States. It is expected that she will bring the congressional party, the sick, and the important mail now on the Hancock. The Hancock is the third United States transport to meet with a mishap in Japanese waters recently. First, the Sheridan, having on board a number of returning troops and the congressional party, which had been visiting the Philippine islands, headed by Senator Bacon, of Georgia, was detained at Nagasaki by a broken tashaft. Her passengers were transferred to the Warren, which sailed from Nagasaki November 3. Two days later the Warren sustained damages in the inland sea, which made it necessary to return and dock at Nagasaki. The Hancock was ordered to proceed from Manila to Nagasaki and to take on board the delayed passengers, and it was expected that she would sail from the port named November 13 for San Francisco. Mr. Joslah K. Ohl, of the Atlanta Constitution, is with the congressional party on the Hancock. RUHLIN WAS AN EASY THING. Champion Pugilist Jeffries Had Small Trouble In Retaining His Laurels. In one of the most unsatisfactory prize fights ever witnessed in this country, which took place in San Francisco Friday night, J. J. Jeffries proved the victor over Gus Ruhlin, the Akron giant. In the fifth round of what was to have been a twenty-round struggle Ruhlin wilted and then surrendered to the utter amazement and disgust of the assembled thousands. No one was more surprised at the outcome than Jeffries himself, who asserted that while he had delivered one telling blow in the second round, he duo not expect to win the victory so easily. Ruhlin's sole explanation of the outcome of the fight is that he received a chance blow which utterly disabled him, and that Jeffries persisted in fighting him low. While Ruhlin will make no absolute charge of Jeffries having committed a foul, he intimates that he was unfairly handled and injured as a result. Ruhlin received the support of his seconds in this stand, who say that his was a hopeless case after the second round. Almost from the beginning of the fight, Ruhlin appeared trightened. The fight was practically finished in the fifth round, when Jeffries landed a left on Ruhlin's jaw that took all the fight out of him. His seconds complained bitterly, but Ruhlin insisted that he was the victim of an accident. Jeffries walked to Ruhlin's corner, asked what was the matter, then turned in disgust, and proceeded to his dressing room, while the spectators rose as one man and cheered the champion, while they denounced Ruhlin as a quitter and a fakir. The police tumbled into the ring, stopped two fights in which Corbett, the referee, and officers of the club were involved. The utmost excitement prevailed, during which Ruhlin made his way out of the ring. HORROR WAS UNDERESTIMATED. Fatalities In Virginia Mine Disaster Greater Than Was Thought. Latest reports from Baby mines disaster, at Pocahontas, Va., indicate that it is much more serious than at first was supposed. Up to noon Friday nine bodies had been recovered, and it is believed that fifteen more are yet in the burning mine. Fire departments from the surrounding towns have been called upon to assist in extinguishing the flames. That part of the Baby mines where the explosions occurred is on the Virginia slide. Measure to Disfranchise Negroes De- feated In Georgia Legislature. The Georgia house of representatives accomplished two important things at Tuesday's session. It killed the Hardwick bill to disfranchise the negro, by a vote of 113 to 17, and despite the efforts to filibuster by the filibusters, heard the report of the committee on the Western and Atlantic railroad recommending favorably the passage of the depot bill. Every effort to filibuster was completely knocked out. The filibusters have diminished in numbers since the last session, and it was impossible to sustain their call for the yeas and nays, and besides, the rullings of Speaker Little put them to rout and the house and galleries plauled. In 1899 the bill to disfranchise the negro. The same being introduced by Mr. Hardwick, received three votes in its favor and 109 against it. Mr. Hardwick thinks he has gained considerably for his measure. After the reading of the journal, the bill to distranchise the negro, by Mr Hardwick, of Washington, came up. The bill was the special order and provided that no person shall be competent voter unless he shall be able to read and write any paragraph of the constitution of this state, and shall be able to understand any paragraph of such constitution, and to give a reasonable interpretation thereto; provided however, that no male person who was on January 1, 1867, or at any time prior thereto entitled to vote under the laws of the state wherein he then resided; and no lineal descendant of such person shall be denied the right to register or vote at any election in this state by reason of his failure to possess the educational qualifications provided for in this paragraph. NEW TREATY SIGNED. Revised Hay-Pauconefe Document Now Awaits Pleasure of Senate. Now Awards Pleasure of Senate. The new Hay-Pauncefote treaty was signed at Washington Monday at 12:05 by Secretary Hay for the United States and Lord Pauncefote for Great Britain. This treaty is intended to replace the first Hay-Pauncefote treaty. That convention was amended so extensively by the United States senate at its last session that the British government declined to ratify it. Within a few weeks negotiations began afresh between Secretary Hay and Lord Pauncefote, which have just resulted in the signature of the new treaty, drawn with special reference to the objections found by the senate with the first treaty. From a due sense of the courtesy which must be observed toward the senate wherever a treaty is concerned the state department is estopped from making-public the text of the new convention, and that will remain secret until the senate itself shall break the seal of confidence. It is said at the state department that the various publications which have been made of the alleged text of the treaty are all erroneous and conjectural. BOARD WILL INVESTIGATE. Army Officers to Inquire Into Recent Robbery of Paymaster Stevens. A military board will inquire into the recent robbery in which Major P. C. Stevens lost $4,769. The board will consist of the following officers of the United States army: Major Edmund K. Webster, of the Twenty-seventh infantry; Captain Albert B. Scott, of the Thirteenth infantry; Captain James T. Moore, of the Twenty-seventh infantry. Major Stevens says it is always customary for such inquiries to be made and that the present inquiry will take place at his request according to the regulations of the army. The money was stolen from a vallise whilo Major Stevens was on his way from Atlanta, Ga., to Pensacola, Fla., to pay off at the latter place, some ten days ago. Want Dates for Reunion Changed; By a close vote the executive committee of the Confederate Reunion Association at Dallas, Texas, decided to request that the dates for the reunion be changed from April 29 and 30 and May 1 and 2, 1902, to April 22, 23, 24 and 25, 1902. SIX HUNDRED BALES BURN. Farmers Around Vienna Lose Heavily By a Warehouse Fire. The warehouse and contents of 600 bales of cotton of Smith & Walton, at Vienna, Ga., was destroyed by fire Friday morning. The fire started about 4:30 o'clock a.m., and had gained such headway when discovered that it was impossible to stop it. Probably one hundred bales of the cotton were saved, but this is badly damaged. The remaining 500 bales were a total loss. The larger portion of the cotton was held by neighboring farmers STRIKERS USE GUNS Bloody Battle Occurs at Mines Near Madisonville, Ky. NON-UNIONISTS ARE ATTACKED In Bombardment Two Men Were Killed and Four Badly Injured. Troops Are Hurriedly Called Out. Sunday morning before daybreak one of the most deadly conflicts of the entire year of mining troubles occurred at the mines of the Providence Coal Company, 17 miles from Madisonville, Ky. Two men are dead and others are wounded. Following are the casualties: James Smith, negro striker, dead; George Crouch, striker, fatally wounded; John West, guard, shot in both hands; Nathan Bush, guard, shot in forearm. This is the second time inside of a week that these mines have been attacked by roaming mobs, each battle resulting in the shedding of human blood. The latest combat was the bloodiest of all. At 4:30 o'clock Sunday morning several shots were fired on the engine house of the company. It was but a few minutes until the stables of the company were surrounded by union men, who commenced the destruction of animal flesh. A fine saddle horse and six mules were killed. The attacking party about eighty strong, then, from the brow of a neighboring hill, poured a well-directed fire upon the homes of non-union employees, where over half a hundred men were peacefully sleeping with their families. Many of the miners dropped to their floors, whilo others rushed with winchesters and other guns in hand to small piles of timber, arranged to be used upon just such an occasion. Behind these fortifications the miners knelt and returned the fire of the strikers, assisting the guards in holding the property. Volley after volley of lead was thrown into the bottoms where the miners reside. While these homes were covered a steady fire was kept up on the tipple, engine room, stable an- other buildings. The guards were heavily armed and their work was even more effective than that of the strikers. The battle raged an hour and a half. The three guards are not seriously wounded. County Judge Hall, at Providence, started an investigation. An inquest was held, the coroner's verdict being that the negro came to his death at the hands of guards while in the defense of the life and property and they were, therefore, justifiable. The news of the shooting spread like wildfire. It was not long before the news reached the ears of Adjutant General Murray, who at once commenced an investigation, opening up with communication with the governor. Two companies of state troops were immediately ordered out GEORGIA WOMAN HONORED. Daughters of Confederacy Elect Officers—Meet Next In New Orleans. The United Daughters of the Confederacy closed its eight annual convention at Wilmington, N. C., Saturday, to meet next year in New Orleans. An invitation was also accepted to meet in 1903 in St. Louis, during the Louisiana Purchase exposition in that city. Officers were elected as follows: President—Mrs. H. A. Rousaville, Rome, Ga. First Vice President—Mrs. Mollie McGill Rosenberg, Galveston, Tex. Second Vice President—Mrs. T. J. Latham, Memphis, Tenn. Recording Secretary—Mrs. John P. Hickman, Nashville, Tenn. Corresponding Secretary—Mrs. Virginia F. McSherry, West Virginia. Treasurer—Mrs. James Leigh, of Norfolk. Custodian of Crosses of Honor—Mrs. Gabbitt, Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. Stonewall Jackson was elected an honorary president, with Mrs. M. C. Goodlet, of New York, for life. JAPS DIE IN WRECK. Accident on Great Northern Wherein Ten Are Killed and Twenty-Eight A special to The St. Paul Globe from Great Falls, Mont, says that a wreck occurred on the Great Northern, near Blair, 375 miles east of there, Monday morning, in which ten men lost their loves and twenty-eight others were seriously injured. An extra freight ran into a work train and it was among those on the latter train that the havoc was wrought. Forty-one Japanese laborers were aboard the work train and ten of these were crushed to death. NO 7. Of the 'New York Chamber of Commerce Held, at Delmonico's—A Noted Assembly Present. The one hundred and thirty-third annual banquet of the New York chamber of commerce was held at Delmonico's Tuesday evening. Covers for 150 were laid in the main banquet room, which was simply, though effectively, decorated, chiefly with American flags. At the table of honor, presided over by President Morris K. Jesup, were ambassador Joseph H. Choate, John Hay, secretary of state; Senator John L. McLaurin, of South Carolina; Whitelaw Reid, Governor-elect Albert B. Cummins, of Iowa; Senator Chaucey M. Depew, the Rov. Dr. Donald Sage Mackay, Andrew Carnegie, Mayor-elect Seth Low, Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, J. Pierpont Morgan, William E. Dodge, Samuel D. Babcock, Major General John S. Brooke, Carl Schurz, Alex E. Orr, Governor Odell, Rear Admiral Albert S. Barker and W. B. Ridgley. The professional and business circles of the city were represented in the list of other guests. The speech making was opened by President Jesup in a very few words. He then proposed a toast to the memory of William McKinley. It was drunk in silence and with all standing, President Roosevelt's health was then toasted, while the orchestra played, and at the next toast, that of King Edward of England, the British national anthem was played. In introducing, Secretary Hay President Jesup proposed a toast to "Our Diplomacy." The secretary was warmly welcomed by the guests, and his speech at various points met with great enthusiasm. After he concluded Secretary Hay was obliged several times to acknowledge the applause accorded him by the diners. Governor Odell spoke to the toast the "State of New York," and Mayor-elect Low replied to the toast, "The City of New York." Joseph H. Choate, ambassador to England, was next introduced. After the applause had subsided he spoke with his usual eloquence, dwelling mostly on the sympathy that had been shown by the British people at the time of President McKinley's death, and said that not only had sympathy been manifested almost every hour for days after the event by royalty, but that all classes were quite as sorrowful. In view of these facts Mr. Choate thought this government justified in thinking that England's grief was an expression of natural sympathy. Mr. Choate was then followed by Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina, who spoke to the toast of "The Monroe Doctrine of the Twentieth Century." The senator's address was very well received and he was frequently applauded. The senator declared that the ruling question today with all natiens, and the one to which all political questions are subordinated, is, "What can we do to further industrial development and obtain business prosperity?" Speaking of the promulgation by "the infant republic," of the Monroe doctrine, he said that "any other policy would have wrecked our government and been an insurmountable barrier to our national growth, prosperity and progress." The Hon. A. B. Cummins, governor-elect of Iowa, spoke about "The President Prosperity of the Republic—What Are the Essentials to Its Continuance?" He thought it "futile to inquire what legislation, if any, should be adopted to prevent or adjust the devastating controversies between the employer and employer, between capital and labor, until there is a power as broad and as comprehensive as the problem itself to prescribe a solution." The last speaker of the evening was the Rev. Dr. Donald Sage Mackay, who responded to the toast, "The Higher ideal of Civic Righteousness." FLORIDA STATE FAIR Opened By Governor Jennings Under Most Favorable Aunignee The Florida State Fair was opened at Jacksonville Tuesday morning by Governor Jennings. Thousands of visitors were in attendance. The agricultural and horticultural exhibits are among the best ever made in the south. THIS MURDER JUSTIFIABLE. Girl Slaya Man Who Held Her Captive For Three Years. A special from Tiptonville, Tenn., says the woman supposed to have been murdered along with Nett Davis, the fisherman and whose bodies were thrown into the Mississippi river, has been located and that she confessed to having shot and killed Davis in order to escape from his domination. It develops that the murderess is a girl about seventeen years old; that she had been living in enforced confinement with Davis for over three years.

A man with, a family should carry a good life insurance. The most talkative person, is generally the least effective. Every man should provide for the education of his children. If we remain quiet we will never secure another school building. No man should draw public pay who is too penurious to pay his poll tax. The young man who fails to pay his tax is an enemy to his best interest. It should be our purpose at least for next week, to make one poor person happy. MR. HARDWICK with his disfranchising bill should "go way back and sit down." THE Negro can gain much by manfully contending for his rights in a conservative and dignified manner. PREJUDICE, outrage and persecution should only the more cause the Negro to stick together for self betterment. LET each one of us do our individual duty in every respect, and collectively we will overflow the measure. MAKE an opening for our boys and girls by establishing business enterprises. That is one of our main hopes. ONLY the thoughtless ones who have no manhood or womanhood would attend the Savannah theatre Keep away. ONE reason for failure among us is that we get discouraged too soon at whatever we undertake if success is not immediate. It is announced that the new constitution of Alabama has been ratified despite the assertion by knowing ones that it was defeated. STRONG efforts are being made by the citizens of Augusta to induce Dr. C. T. Walker to return to that city. THE TRIBUNE echoes the sentiment of the Augusta citizens. No color line will be tolerated at Harvard. Because a barber refused to shave the son of the late ex-Senator Bruce, he was fined $20.00. The judge gave the prejudiced barber a good lecture beside. Our race is infested with those within its ranks who do not believe in race progress. They are failures themselves and because they can not succeed, they think that every one and everything are likewise. And still we have about three thousand poor boys and girls who are unable to secure seats in the public school. Is it not appalling? Should this not touch every Negro man's tender chord? What are you going to do about it? ONE of the most baneful things is for a person to always be finding fault with others and utters not an encouraging word for another or any movement matters not how deserving. Such persons retard all progress whatever. DESPIECE assertions to the contrary, our race in this country has made a more wonderful progress on all lines for good in forty years than any other race has made under similar conditions in one hundred years. This assertion can not be truthfully denied. The old method of using the church as an advertising medium for everything that is going on in the city is at the least abominable and should be abolished. The newspapers are established for that purpose and in fact people do not go to church to hear such announcements, they go simply to worship God. NEXT Thursday has been proclaimed by President Roosevelt as a day of National Thanksgiving. This country has much to be thankful for. Despite the fact that gloom has but recently pervaded its entire borders caused by the assassination of its chief head, yet that cheerfulness that this nation is noted for and the confidence that it placed in the new administration have given great cause for thanksgiving to Him who doeth all things for the best. This is a season of the year when the poor among us should be heartily remembered. Next Thursday will be Thanksgiving Day. Not one of us that is blest in the least degree should sit contentedly until we have made at least one needy person happy by relieving a small part of his needs. There are many such persons in our midst and they should not be neglected. We feel that on this day the churches will take up a special collection for charitable purposes and those persons who do not attend any church should do their part, matters not how small, by making these needy ones happy if only for a short while. Those of us with health, strength and the luck to have an employment, should give in commensuration of our ability. This much is expected of us, and when we fail to do it, we will be disobeying the Divine's chief injunction. THERE is at least one redeeming feature about our beloved state. It will not adopt a disfranchising bill. As announced in our last issue, the disfranchising bill came up for consideration in the legislature on Tuesday. Representative Hardwick, its author, made an impassioned plea for the passage of the bill. Several otters spoke in favor of it. Representative Stafford, of Camden was outspoken against it. To prove that Mr. Stafford was sincere in his opposition, he was opposed by a Negro for his seat in the legislature, and the same was contested, but despite all of this he was against disfranchising him although in his county the Negroes are in the majority. When the bill was put to a vote it was defeated 114 to 17. Our article last appealing to the class of people who attend the theatre to keep away until better accommodations are accorded, was heartily approved by many who read it. They feel that no self-respecting Negro should continue patronizing a place where such discriminative accommodation is accorded. THE TRIBUNE feels that when the thoughtful among those who attend the theatre become fully aware of the circumstances, they will readily discontinue their attendance. It will only be the gay, giddy and thoughtless ones who care naught for self-respect that will attend. At the recent meeting of the Baptist Educational Society Rev Silas X Floyd asked "what has the Negro to gain in opposing the whites in anything?" We would like for the reverend gentleman to tell us in what way the Negro is opposing the white people. We admit that we are opposing whatever injustice that is heaped upon us, and does he want us to keep quiet about this much? If our friend would say less to tickle the fancy of the Negro's enemies and do more for advancement the result would be greater. Our people in Jacksonville are to be commended for the stand that they are taking against the discriminative street car ordinance. They have not only refused to ride on the cars, but are planning to organize a stock company to run a bus line through the city to compete with the street cars. This has met with popular approval and is destined to be a success. In the meantime, at the next meeting of the city council an attempt will be made to repeal the offensive ordinance. THE tragedy that occurred at Girard Ala., some months ago is regretted by every one who knows the participants. All of them were held in high estimation by their friends, Prof Sparks who attended the Georgia State College and afterwards graduated from the University of Chicago, assassinated Mr. Jacob Ingersoll on account the latter's wife who was also arrested as an accomplice. Sparks was tried and sentenced to be hung on December 20th. MRS. FELTON, the well-known writer, is as prejudiced against the Negro as one ever gets to be. She allows no opportunity to slip by which she can give him a stab. It was she who made the remarkable statement at Tybee some years ago that a thousand Negroes should be killed whenever an assault is committed by one of their number on a white woman. The joint committee on constitutional amendment of the legislature has prepared ten amendments. The last amendment effects the Negro in that it requires that the school fund be divided between the races in proportion to the amount of taxes paid by each. Senator Bell is the father of this movement. He has shown himself as being against the best interest of the state and a discriminator of the rankest kind. We have no fear that the bill will become a law, and if it does it would be just as well to demand a State School Commissioner for the Negroes, separate county school commissioners and in fact have a separation on all lines where the races are concerned. This will show how uncalled for the first idea is. It is reported that the policy wheels have again commence turning. The mayor gave an emphatic order against it. Rev. Carrie gilms sermons on Sunday were very good. In the afternoon he prescheduled at the Georgia State Industrial College. Don't forget the memorial service at St. Philips on to-morrow night, in memory of the late Mrs. D. Edwards, conducted by the Order of the Eastern Star of which she was their Grand Worthy Matron of the state of Georgia. Don't fail to attend the grand concert and musicale treat at St. Philips church on Monday night next. Mr. Sidney Woodward, the celebrated world renown tenor singer, will gill give one of his grandest musical treats of the season. Mr. Woodward needs no commendations for he is known far and near. For your benefit come and hear for yourselves. Admission 15 cents, reserve seats 25 cents. Remember if it rain, come, if it don't rain, come and bring your friends and let us have a full house and show Mr. Woodward how we appreciate his coming at St. Philips church, at the same time to help your church. One of the oldest patriarchs, brother and father of St. Philips church, died on last Thursday evening at 9 o'clock at his residence, Maple street lane. Bro. Wilson Ward was one of the oldest members of St. Philips church, and one of the oldest class leaders and one of the fearless christians of the church. He was buried from the church on last Saturday at 3 o'clock p.m. The cantata given at Labor hall on Monday night by St. Philips Sunday School was quite a success. The manager of the cantata deserve much praise for their hard work, and a vote of thanks is extended to all who took part in making it a success. Everybody is invited to attend Sunday services at St. Philips at 11 a. m., and 8 p. m.; Sunday School at 2 p. m.; Christian Endeavor at 4:30 p. m—Rev. C. C. Cargile, D. D., pastor. A Pleasant Surprise. The members of the higher classes of the Stephen's Institute of which Miss Florence A Fields is a teacher, gave her a very pleasant surprise party on Wednesday evening. The scholars were out in large numbers and each one vied with the other in doing honor to their beloved teacher. They tendered Miss Fields some very pretty and useful presents, which were highly appreciated. Miss Fields is held in high estimation by each one of her scholars and by all who have been in contact with her since she has been coming in our midst. Our school is getting along nicely and this is expected to be the best term it ever had. Bessie May Green. Pridgeon Pointers. Rev. J. O. Carr, held his rally at the Baptist church on Sunday last. The rally was well attended by all of his members; a number of visitors were present also, and contributed liberally to the cause. Mrs. Amanda Moore received a nice gold ring for raising the largest amount of money. She is always willing to help in raising money to further the cause of Christ: Mrs. Estella Staten and Master Leroy, visited Scott Lake on Saturday and were the guests-of Mr. and Mrs. C. I. Taylor. Among those present at the entertainment were: Mrs. Delia Fulmore and little Amanda, Mrs. Maggie Thompson, Mr. N. D. Dudley. Mrs. Anna Harris and Mrs. Maggie Moody of Lakeland, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ford on Sunday. Mrs. Mattie Johnson of Kathaleen, Fla., who has been visiting her daughter, has returned to her home much elated with her trip. Miss Sadie J.

CONSUMPTION Murled with Thompson's Eye Water COYOTES COME IN TO BE SCALPED. A Pacicular Situatian in Oregon Described by "Honest" Jones. Hank Jones, an old trapper, who passed through Portland some months ago on his way from Idaho to the Klamath country to engage in the business of extirpating coyotes for the sake of the bounty pald for the scalps of these pestiferous animals, arrived here Saturday on his way back to Idaho, a very much disgusted man. He said that, from what he had seen in the Oregon papers in regard to the number of Coyote scalps which had been turned in and bounties paid on, he had imagined that he could make a fortune in the Klamath region in one season. The number of coyotes he saw running everywhere over the cattle ranges when he got into Klamath County encouraged him in his idea, and he hastened to set all his traps. The first night he caught several coyotes, but was astonished to find that only one of them had a scalp. The others were bald-headed—that is, like old "Uncle Ned," they had no hair on the top of the head, in the place where the hair ought to grow. He could not understand this, but said nothing and went on with his trapping. While he was in Klamath County he caught dozens of coyotes, about 75 per cent. of which were baldheaded, and some had a new scalp partially grown. He finally began to inquire what was the matter with the coyotes in that section. He found that while the sheep men were anxious to have the coyotes killed off, and had secured the passage of the bounty law, the cattle men wished the coyotes preserved, in order that they might kill off the sheep and leave the range grass for the cattle. The cowboys employed by the cattle men had worked to this end by running down and lassolong coyotes and ripping their scalps off, and allowing them to go at large. The coyotes suffered but little from the loss of their scalps, and, finding that after they had yielded them up they were allowed to frequent the cattle ranges without being molested, and to grow fat on mutton, they soon grasped the situation and began to come in and be scaled when hot weather set in. A new scalp grows on the bald heads in one season, and they all come in once a year to be scaled, and the cowboys are getting rich on bounties, while the number of coyotes increases. Mr. Jones says that unless the bounty law is repealed every cowboy In that region will be a millionaire and the State will be bankrupt in a new years. If any one doubts this statement, he is assured that Mr. Jones is an honest man—in fact, he has long been known in that part of Idaho where he resided as "Honest Jones."—Portland Oregonian.

The royal nursery in St. Petersburg is as merry; as though it did not contain four small royal disappointments—that is, girls. It is a very large nursery, papered with historical scenes, placed very low upon the walls, so that the children can pass from one to another, touching each with an inquiring finger. There are governesses and nurses for these little Russians, whose mother was Alice of Hesse, daughter of the Princess Alice of England, and when they go to drive—the great Russian pastime—they are seated in a handsome carriage, behind the finest pair of white ponies in the Czar's famous stables. The children speak English very well, and for a time it looked as though the Czarina would become unpopular because of her teaching them her native tongue before they had learned Russian. But, on being demonstrated by the Czar, she replied: "Let them learn English, then Russian. I wish them to remember their mother's native land in that way."—Philadelphia Times.
