VOL. XVIII. IN RAGING ELEMENTS Loss of Life and Great Destruction of Property is Entailed. STORMS, FRESHETS, LANDSLIDES No Part of the South Seems to Have Escaped at Least Some Damage. A special from Loulsville, Ky., says: The annual spring freshet, which yearly, does damage to railroads and crops, and, at times, inflicts loss of life has left this season's impress on many parts of the south, after a tremendous two days' rain, with an accompaniment of nigh winds. Accidents Friday night and Saturday morning directly attributable to the elements have resulted in the death of nine people and injury to twenty-fine. Three deaths, together with a long list of injureal, were brought about by an accident on the Southern railway early Saturday morning, as a train bound cast from Chattanooga, ran into a washout near Lenior City, Tenn. Six people were drowned while trying to cross the Chio river near Hick man, Ky., the swift current carrying their boat into some driftwood, and five people were hurt by a cyclone which passed over Hickory Level, Ky., Saturday morning. Cloudbursts are reported in Kentucky and Tennessee, and it is feared there has been some loss of life in the affected sections. In Middlesboro, Ky., every house in the lower section of the place was flooded and every merchant suffered damage to stock. The valley of Yellow creek was flooded for several hours from mountain to mountain. Near Anderson, Tex., a cloudburst carried away a quarter of a mile of track on the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad. High water carried away three bridges and a trestle on the Tennessee Central, near Crab Orchard, Tenn, and damaged other bridges. A steamer was blown against the Southern railway draw bridge over the Bigbee river in Alabama, sending a part of the structure to the bottom. Landslides occurred in two tunnels on the Cincinnati Southern railway, near Harriman, Tenn. All streams were bank full, the Alabama river rising 19 feet at Millstead, near Montgomery, during the night. Flood warnings were sent out by the Montgomery weather bureau. The Mississippi passed the danger line at several places, but levees head intact. SEVEN DIE IN MINE. Frightful Explosion in a Pennsylvania Put-Caused by Fire Damp. The Hostetter Connellsville Coke Company's mine near Latrobe, Pa., was the scene of a fire damp explosion Saturday in which seven men lost their lives. About six hundred men are employed in the mine. The cause of the explosion is a mystery. It was not heard outside of the mine and none except those at work knew anything of it until those who escaped came rushing to the main entry and spread the news of the disaster. Superintendent Marshall states that locked lamps were used throughout both mines. These were locked before being given to the men and his theory is that the explosion was caused by a spark from some hard substance by a pick, or by spontaneous comouston. ALABAMA LEGISLATURE ENDS. Adjourns to September After Interesting and Fruitful Session. The Alabama legislature adjourned at Montgomery Saturday at 11:45 amid the usual scenes. Up to the last hour efforts were made to change the date of reassembling, but in vain. One of the last acts of the house was the passage of the Johnston state uniform text-book bill by a vote of 68 to 20. GIGANTIC MERGER RUMORED. Stocks of Half Dozen Big Railways May Soon be Consolidated. A dispatch to The New York Times says a company, similar in purpose and organization to the Northern Securities Company, is being formed to take over the stock of the Frisco and Rock Island, the Southern, the Atchlson and the Central of Georgia railways. The dispatch says the company is being organized by J. P. Morgan & Co., and the general belief is that the rumors relative to its formation are on good authority. The Savannah Tribune. CONGRESS IN A TURMOIL. Scenes in Both Houses are Marked by Bitter Quarrels and a Continuous Wrangle. A Washington special says: The final defeat of the Aldrich financial bill was witnessed in the senate Tuesday when it was displaced by the Philippine tariff bill. Mr. Aldrich explained in detail his measure, and said that a small number of men in the senate had deliberately, with malice aforethought, murdered it. In the course of the debate Mr. Elkins declared that the republican party had been false to its solemn pledges in three successive platforms, with respect to statchool for Arizona, Oklahoma and New Mexico, and he said that it was the first time that party had been guilty of filibustering. He declared that upon the republican majority rested the responsibility for the defeat of several important measures in the senate. Mr. Long followed with an explanation of the Philippine bill, saying that it simply provides for further reduction of duties on Philippine products coming into this country. Mr. Clay, of Georgia, after Mr. Lodge had explained the reduction of duties provided by the bill, announced that he would vote for it. Mr. Patterson, of Colorado, opposed the bill, saying he objected to being used either by a trust or by any combination of speculators, under the plea of humanity. He was followed by Mr. Bacon, who said that even if he shared the apprehensions of Mr. Patterson, with regard to the threatened competition of sugar and tobacco, he would still say that now is the time when the hand of relief to a desolate people should be extended. Ceaseless Roll Calls in House. Tuesday was almost a repetition of of Monday in the house. Slowly but surely through the operation of ceaseless roll calls the conference reports to complete the necessary legislation were ground out, and when the house at 7 p. m. recessed until 10 p. m., only two conference reports on appropriation bills were still indisposed of—the general deficiency and the naval. During the debate on conference reports members on each side got in political speeches and several times party passion flared up. Just before the recess bedlam broke loose and there was an exchange of high words between two members on the floor. 'A personal altercation seemed imminent in the confusion, but was avoided by the intervention of friends. The actual business done during the eight hours of the day session consisted of the adoption of the conference reports on the immigration public building and sundry civil bills, the reference of the president's veto message of a Virginia claim bill to the committee on war claims, the adoption of a resolution to correct clerical errors in the immigration' bill and the passage of a senate bill to authorize the treasury department to coin souvenir coins for the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Association. ADDICKS WAS SILENT. Little Bald-Headed Gas Man Seea Friend and Enemy Sworn In. A little man with a bald head and a gigantic white moustache sat in the members' gallery of the senate Tuesday afternoon, says a Washington dispatch, and, looking down into the chamber, witnessed a scene which was the culmination of an unsuccessful fight he has made for fifteen years. The people who sat around him were clapping their hands vigorously. He alone was silent. He was J. Edward Addicks; who for fifteen years has been spending his money in an effort to secure a seat in the senate, representing Delaware, and whose highhanded methods have been responsible for the failure of that state to have representation in the upper house of congress since Judge Gray and Senator Kenney went out. Instead of securing the coveted plum for himself, he was compelled to see one, his friend, and another, his enemy, sworn in to fill the two vacancies. It was a great day for Delaware, and the little state sent over a large delegation to witness the event. GEN. GORDON RESTS WELL. Flood of Telegrams of Inquiry Shew Affection in Which He is Held. A special from Jackson, Miss., says: The love and the reverence of the people of the south for General John B. Gordon, commander in calier of the United Confederate Veterans, was strikingly shown a riday when hundreds of telegrams making anxious inquiry concerning his condition poured into Jackson from all parts of the south and many northern states. The distinguished patient passed a good day, although he is quite weak from his illness, caused by acute indigestion and nervous collapse. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 7. 1903. DOWN EMBANKMENT THREE DEAD; SCORE. INJURED Accident Result of Spreading Rails Caused by Heavy Rains—Dying Engineer Refused Proffered The Southern railway's fast passenger train, Chattanooga to Salisbury, leaving Chattanooga at 11:15 Friday night, was wrecked about 3 1-2 miles west of Lenoir City, Tenn., Saturaay morning about 2 o'clock. The wreck was caused by spreading of the rails. It was first reported that six were killed, but later investigation revealed only three fatalities, all of whom are trainmen. Twenty-four people were injured, one of whom may die. The dead are: John H. Bibb, of Knoxville, engineer; A. J. Tuckér, of Newport, Tenn., mall clerk; Alfred Best, of Knoxville, colored porter. Where the Wreck Occurred. The wreck occurred on the top of a steep embankment and the train plunged down this. The locomotive went within thirty feet of the Tennessee river. Four of the coaches were telescoped and partially piled up on the engines. Three coaches were burned outright. The Cincinnati Southern train from Chattanooga to Cincinnati was traveling behind the ill-fated train, it having to go by way of Knoxville on account of the damage to the tracks of the Cincinnati Southern between Chattanooga and Harriman. The train was awaiting orders at Loudon, when it was advised of the wreck. The engine of the Cincinnati Southern train ran up to the scene of the wreck and by pulling two on the rear sleepers back on the track and away from the wreck succeeded in saving them from destruction by fire. The wrecking train with physicians and railroad officials left Knoxville immediately after the wreck was reported. It is stated that the wreck was caused by two landslides. In the first it is thought a big boulder came down the side of a bluff and fell on the track. These landslides spread the track and when the locomotive struck the boulder, it was thrown down the embankment carrying several coaches with it. Just before Engineer Bibb died a physician endeavored to have him drink a little whisky in the nope of extending his life as long as possible. The engineer refused it, saying: "I have never touched it and don't expect to begin to drink it now." Continuing, he said: "As I am going to die, go and look after the women and children in the coaches." He expired a few minutes later. The Chicago and Florida limited of the Cincinnati Southern road, one of the finest trains in the country, running from Jacksonville to Chicago, was but a short time area of the wrecked train. Hau tais train often wrecked the loss of life might have been much greater, as it always carries a long list of passengers and runs on a very fast schedule. There were over four hundred packages of letter mail and 100 sacks of paper mail in the mail car destroyed. There were two pounces of registered letters for New York and Washington destroyed. SOLONS WORK ON SUNDAY. Fcur-Hour Session of House Held While Church Bells Chimed. A Washington dispatch says: The house of representatives held a four-hour session Sunday and put the District of Columbia appropriation bill through its last parliamentary stage in the face of the democratic fobuster. The previous question of the conference report on the Alaskan home-stead bill was ordered. That was the net result on the Sunday session. Although it was Sunday by the calendar, it was still Thursday, February 26, according to parliamentary fiction. TEACHER'S BULLET FATAL. Boy Shot in South Carolina School Room Dies of His Wound. Edward Foster died at his home at Inman, S. C.; at noon Friday as the result of a bullet wound inflicted at the hands of his teacher, Reuben B. Pitts. It is understood that when the wounded boy realized that he could not survive he made another statement concerning the shooting. It is said that several of the students attacked Professor Pitts while he was whipping Foster. In the scuffle that followed Foster was shot by Pitts. GORY DEED OF DRUNKEN $ ^{\circ} $ MAN. Slays Father-in-Law, Desperately Wounds His Wife and Winos Up Tragedy by Suicide. Crazed by drink and enraged because his wife had threatened to quit his home because of past brutal treatmeit, Ellis Farmer, deputy sheriff of Clayton county, Ga., went to his home Saturday morning at 1 o'clock and shot his wife through the lung, inflicting a dangerous wound. He turned the smoking revolver upon his wife's aged father, James Christian, and blew out his brains. Reeling from the tragedy Farmer placed the pistol against his heart and blew a ragged hole through his body, falling dead at the feet of his victims. This in brief is the story of a terrible tragedy which shocked the community of Mt. Zion church on the Jonesboro and Ellenwood road about three and a half miles from Jonesboro. The killing was the climax of a quarrel which Farmer had with his wife after his return from town. Mrs. Farmer was hit in the back, the ball passing through her body as she ran out of the nouse, and she fell desperately wounded on the front porch. Charles Farmer, the eldest son of the pair, who was living with his grandfather's family in a house about 200 feet down the road, hearing the first shot, dashed out of his room and arrived at his father's home in time to pick up the body of his mother as it lay on the floor. Staggering into the nouse with his burden, he entered Mrs. Farmer's bedroom and laid her-on the bed. Pistol in hand his father came toward him, but the boy waved him back. Farmer made no attempt to scoot his son, but hearing Captain Christian, who had followed young Farmer, s he came up the front steps, stepped out into the hall, blazed away and the old man fell with a bullet in his thigh. As he was falling Farmer fired again. The ball pierced Captain Christian's head and passed through the brain. The body, limp and quivering, fell into the doorway. The aged veteran lived about half an hour, but never spoke. From all accounts Farmer proceeded about his terrible worm, without excitement and without explanation. After finishing his father in law he returned to his wife's bed room. Mrs. Farmer was lying on the bed where her son had laid her, and the young man was sitting at her side. The father came toward the bed, and Young Farmer held out his arm as if to keep him away, if he meant further mischief. Farmer clutched his son's wrist for a moment, as if he wanted to shake hands, backed away, and placed the muzzle of the pistol to his breast, shifted it once or twice, and finally reaching a point on the right side, he pulled the trigger. There was a deafening report and the body fell headlong to the floor. The ball had ranged slightly upward and passed through the heart. Charles Farmer, the son says his father frequently quarreled with Mrs. Farmer and that after bearing his treatment as long as she could, she decided to separate from him. In fact, arrangements had been made for her to go to Atlanta, where a house had been rented. She evidently told her husband of her intention to leave and this further enraged him, although just what took place between them in their bed room between midnight and the time the killing took place no one appears to know. Mrs. Farmer May Live. Late Sunday afternoon it was stated that Mrs. Farmer was resting easy. Members of the family feel encouraged at her condition, but the attending physician does not hold out any hope. Captain James Christian and Farmer were buried Sunday afternoon in Mount Zion church yard. The two funerals were largely attended, people coming from miles around to be present at the interment. It is said that - armer was buried in such position that in the event of the death of his wife she will not be placed by his side. Gun Inventor Gatling Dead. R. H. Gatling, aged 83, the inventor of the gatling gun, died suddenly in New York Saturday after taking an exausting trip to the down-town section of the city. REV. MORGAN RAISES RUMPUS.. Moody's Successor Won't Affiliate With Universalists and Unitarians. In an impassioned speech in Atlanta Sunday afternoon, to an audience of 2,000 men, among whom were many of the most prominent ministers and clergymen of Atlanta, Rev. George Campbell Morgan, the successor of Moody, announced that he would not and could not take part in any non-denominational movement which included among its promoters and laborers men who denied the absolute deity of Christ and salvation torough His blood. His reference was, o Universalists and Unitarians. A TERROR IS KNAPP Degenerate Murderer of Women Makes More Confessions. BODY OF LAST VICTIM FOUND Accuses His Favorite Sister of Betraying Him, to the Authcrities—Expresses Pleasure at Finding of Wife's Body. News comes from New Albany, Ind., to the effect that Edward F. King, of Cincinnati, and Charles Goddard, of Hamilton, O., brother-in-law and brother of Hannah Goddard Knapp, have positively identified the body found floating in the Ohio river late Monday afternoon as that of Hannah Goddard Knapp, wife of Alfred Knapp, now under arrest in Hamilton. The statement was made that the jewelry found on the person was the same as that known to have been worn by the young woman before she became the wife of Knapp and that there is not the slightest doubt of her identity. Careful work of the embalmers during the morning did mucn to restore the appearance of the body. The remains were sent to Hamilton Tuesday afternoon. More Confessions Made. A special from Hamilton says: While talking about the finding of the body of Hannah Goddard, Knapp confessed another criminal assault: Knapp says he is the man who, in the summer of 1886, assaulted a girl in New Madrid Bend, on the Mississippi river, in Lake county, Missouri. He says he was chased by a mob bent on lynching and that he held a big crowd at bay with a winchester. He succeeded in saving his life by flight, making his way across the river. Knapp then, deliberately told of other assaults on women in which he had narrow escapes. Knapp feels pleased over the recovery of the body of his murdered wife, stating that he is glad it will have a decent burial. He also says he was desirous of heading the searching party. The body floated 180 miles during the six weeks it was in the Miami and Ohio rivers, and had not Knapp confessed the body might have been disposed of without being connected with the Hamilton tragedy. When asked how he escaped in so many cases until he choked his wife Hannah, Knapp said: "That's what I'd like to know. They wouldn't know now if it wasn't for my people telling that they suspected me." "It was your getting married so soon after Hannah's death to Anna Gamble, in Indianapolis, that gave you away." "I married Hannah twenty days after I killed Jennie. Did they catch me? No, it was not my getting married. That wouldn't have made any difference. My sister told. "Mary was my favorite sister, too. They ought to have shielded me instead of coming here to the Hamilton police. If your brother was in trouble wouldn't you shield him instead of giving him away? It ain't the police that got me; it's my sister, Mary, and her husband: Eld King." A Cincinnati dispatch says: Mrs. Edward F. King, sister of Alfred A. Knapp, has reported that her life has been repeatedly threatened by another woman interested in the Knapp defense, and she asked for protection, which was accorded her. Mrs. King said: "If I meet the woman I guess it will be all up with me. She hates me because my husband and I were the first to start the investigation of what Allie did in connection with the disappearance of Hannah Goddard. I am terribly afraid that she will carry out her threat to kill me. She knows that I opposed Allie's marriage. I know the woman is very vindictive." Liquor Barred from Capital. By the adoption of the conference report on the immigration bill in the senate and house Tuesday, the sale of intoxicating liquor is prohibited in the capitol. CROWNINSHIELD IS OUT. Asked to Be Retired at Once and Request is Granted. Two interesting and insignificant communications were received Tuesday at the navy department from the European station. One was from Rear Admiral Crowninshield, commanding the European squadron, asking to be placed on the retired list of the navy under the provisions of the personnel law. The other was from Lieutenant Ward, naval secretary to Crowninshield, resigning his commission in the navy. Secretary Moody promptly accepted the resignations. On the Verge of Bright's Disease A Quick Cure That Lasted. A Quick Care That Lasted. CASE NO. 30,011.-C. E. Boles, dealer in grain and feed, 505 South Water street, Akron, O., made the following statement in IS00; he said: "Ever since the Civil War I have had attacks of kidney and bladder trouble, decidedly worse during the last two or three years. Although I consulted physicians, some of whom told me I was verging on Bright's disease, and I was continually using standard remedies, the excruciating aching just across the kidneys, which radiated to the shoulder blades, still existed. As might be expected when my kidneys were in a disturbed condition, there was a distressing and inconvenient difficulty with the action of the kidney secretions. A box of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Lamparter & Co.'s drug store, brought such a decided change within a week that I continued the treatment. The last attack, and it was particularly aggravated, disappeared." Three Years After. Mr. Boles says in 1890: "In the spring of 1890 I made a public statement of my experience with Donan's Kidney Pills. This remedy cured me of a terrible aching in the kidneys, in the small of my back, in the muscles of the shoulder blades, and in the limbs. During the years that have gone by I can conscientiously say there have been no recurrences of my old trouble. My confidence in Donan's Kidney Pills is stronger than ever, not only from my personal experience, but from the experience of many others in Akron which have come to my notice." A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mr. Boles will be mailed on application to any part of the United States. Address Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

SAMPLES MAILLED FREE. Contains No Tobacco and is Pleasant and Easy to Use. The fact that the smoking of tobacco is injurious to the health is no argument against the use of Dr. Blosser's Catarrh Cure in a pipe, or in the form of cigarettes, as this remedy contains no tobacco or any injurious drug. The effect of a remedy applied directly to the diseased part is much better than the uncertain action of medicines taken into the stomach. This is the philosophy, profound as it is simple, of the treatment of catarrh with Dr. Blosser's Catarrh Cure. It is the only known remedy that can penetrate the recesses of the head, throat and lungs. No liquid remedy can do this. No spray that ever was devised—surely no "constitutional" nostrum taken into the stomach—can reach the inflamed surfaces and cleanse, soothe and heal them as this medicated smoke-vapor does. In order to demonstrate its merits, a three days' trial treatment will be sent, absolutely free, to any sufferer: Address, Dr. Blosser Company., 32 Walton St., Atlanta, Ga.

If the thick skulled Democratic politicians don't learn sense it won't be President Roosevelt's fault. The supreme court of Kansas has by a recent decision, barred the use of the bible in the public schools of that state. REPRESENTATION has been denied our people so far by the St. Louis exposition commission. If this is a fact thousands of Negroes will not visit the exposition on that account. The President has re-nominated Dr. W. D. Crum as collector of customs at the Port of Charleston. The President's stand in this appointment meets the approval of all right thinking persons. If Gen'l Gobin of Pennsylvania is reported correctly, he is surely a representative that the great Keystone state should feel ashame of. It is said that he was surprised to know that Savannah had a colored collector of customs, and there will be lots of other things that he will be surprised about before he dies. It was not generally known that Dr. Bumstead, president of the Atlanta University would have been in the city last week. He was in attendance at the Farmers' Conference. Many citizens would have been proud to meet this able educator who is doing so much for the higher education of our youths. It is continuing the excellent work of the lamented President Ware, and no one, more than the citizens of Savannah, and especially those who know of his labors would have been prouder to do him honor. THE afternoon paper along with others of its ilk, gives one that "tired feeling," by its incessant prating about the appointment of colored men to office. This paper should understand by this time that President Roosevelt appointed Col. Deveaux to the collectorship on account of his ability and excellent standing in the community. The white citizenz who protested against his appointment were given every opportunity to prove his unfitness for the position, but they could find no fault other than his color, and that was no barrier. CERTAIN Southern Democrats and many of them high up in the councils of their party have been beating President Roosevelt about his southern policy and at the same time been humbly begging him for favors. This was demonstrated in the recent letter of the President to Mr. Clark Howell of the Constitution. If the latter had not written the President about an appointment that he was interested in, the letter would not have been written him. Mr. Howell in his paper has been very bitter against the President. Even after being thus, he could not resist the temptation of asking favors. THE President's letter to the Constitution's editor caused the week to be opened with something to think about. At first the letter was not kindly received by some because it was thought that the President should not offer any apology for what he did, believing as he does, that he acted for the best welfare of all the people. But it was afterward found out that the letter was forthcoming from the fact that the receiver had solicited it. The letter has only strengthened the President in the thoughts and graces of the American people. It shows him to be ever mindful of all classes of citizens and from that position he will never swerve. THE members of other races find it necessary to begin early to train their children and as they grow to throw every possible safe guard around them. They do this because their children in years to come will be the men and women of their race. If they, with their superior advantages find that this is necessary, it should be more so with us. We have been entirely too lax along this line. There are numerous mothers and fathers among us who are very careless about the welfare of their children. Many of these parents allow their sons of tender age to be about the streets until late hours at nights and their girls, some not yet in their teens, to visit places of amusements, dance halls, etc., without proper attendants. This is the main cause of many of these girls being ruined and the parents are to be blamed for it. Unless these boys and girls are better trained, we can have but slight hope for their future. Conference at the College. The annual conference of colored farmers just concluded at the Georgia State College was one of the best in point of instruction that has probably ever been held in Georgia. The conference opened on Thursday of last week and was well attended by visitors, and many topics of interest were discussed at the session. Rev. J. J. Durham spoke in high terms of the Negro as a farmer, and quoted statistics showing that he was thrifty and steadily on the uplift in point of industry and prosperity, instructive addresses were also made by a number of others among whom were Dr. Bumstead of Atlanta University, Rev. A. M. Williams, Rev. Sherman, Miss Dinah Pace of Covington, and Messrs A. T. Speight and O. T. Hopkinson. The last day's session was the most largely attended and the most important. The afternoon business was opened by an address from Prof. Carver of Tuskegee Industrial school. He delivered a most instructive address on what is best on a farm and how to manage it. A number of questions on difficult farm problems which he answered in a manner satisfactorily to the farmers present and the interesting visitors. A vote of thanks was extended Prof. Carver. Chancellor Hill of the University of Georgia was then introduced by President Wright. The Chancellor made a short telling speech on the farmers' session and education generally, and said that Prof. Carver's address and instructions on farming and agriculture was the best he had ever heard. Hon. W. A. Pledger of Atlanta said he had come three hundred miles to show his interest in the school at this conference. There were a million and thirty-four thousand Negroes in Georgia and only $8,000 were appropriated by the state as such for the Industrial school. He thought it the duty of all, and of himself to call the attention of the legislature of the state to the injustice, and he would do his part, and hoped for good results in that direction. Collector Deveaux endorsed all that was said by Col. Pledger and Chancellor Hill, and said that he had learned more about farming through Prof. Carver at this session than in all his life before. He endorsed President Wright's efforts in establishing the farmers conference and said that he had erected a monument to himself in so doing, and pledged his support to the school. He said that it was his desire to buy about fifty acres of land and settle down as a farmer, should he leave the line of work in which he was now engaged. The afternoon exercises closed with a very interesting address by Miss Tapley, principal of Spellman Seminary on the necessary for Uniform Courses for Corresponding Grades and Requirements for Admission. Prof. Curtright, principal of Walker Baptist College at Augusta, read a carefully prepared paper on "How can Colleges Assist in the Improvement of the Common Schools." Dr. Bumstead the great educator spoke on the subject, "To what Extent is it Desirable that the Curriculum of a Secondary School should Insist upon the Classics." "How can the Negro better his condition was discussed at the night session by Rev. Lillard of the Congregational Church in an able manner. Rev. Lillard said, he thought the Negro ought to fix himself in the soil; that he could not own too much property; that the possession of real estate gave him a tenure on the state, on the respect of others, on life itself. He said that he must not wait for others to build his school houses or educate him. Educate yourself; that he must develop in himself and his children the highest degree of self respect; that he ought to look inward as well as outward, forward and seldom backward, that he must organize race enterprises, support them and he must purchase stock in strong white organizations as well. Let him keep in building better homes, let him beautify them, let him, in every way, arrive to give to himself a character that will stamp him as a man among men the world over. Rev. Lillard's remarks were enthusiastically received. Rev. Kemp of Beth-Eden Baptist Church also made some forceful remarks in which he urged that the Negro continue in the future, as in the past, to cultivate friendly relations with the whites. He agreed with Rev. Lullard that race enterprises ought to be encouraged. He told the people to be self-reliant, honest, upright and sincere, to keep their word and pay their debts and all would end well. A number of resolutions were adopted, and an extract from one of them will show how the body stood on farming: Resolye, That we feel that the farm is one of the best avenues for the advancement of the race, and we shall strive to do what we can to purchase homes and farms and train our children to become useful members of the commonwealth. Resolve, That we favor the holding of a colored state fair at some covenant place. The Evangelical Union. Whatever brails disturb the streets, There should be peace at home; Where sisters dwell or brothers meet Quarrels should never come. There were two splendid additions to the membership of the Evangelical Ministers Union in the persons of Rev. A. K. Woods and Rev. J. L. Coles on Tuesday morning. The devotional exercises were conducted by the gallant Dr. Woods who selected hymn 298, "Jesus Immaucel King arise," and read the 12th chapter of Ecol. "Hark how the watchman cry," was sung in conclusion, after which the president, Rev. F. R. Sims, announced the regular order of business. Mr. John W. Armstrong, the very zealous and intrepid representative of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Reality Co., obtained permission to address the union, in grateful acknowledgement of the splendid reception accorded himself and his colleague, Dr. T. Jas. Davis, by the union at the last session, in behalf of the company, setting forth some plans for immediate actions by the company, in opening a department store here. His address was well received and arrangements were made for him to visit the different churches, within the bounds of the union, for the purpose of collecting subscriptions preliminary to the work in hand. It has been said, and truthfully, that "errors which seem venial at first grow into the worse form of pessimistic rancor," especially when fostered by indulgence, or excused on the principle of fatality, or any other pretense by which the perpetrator seeks alike by blind himself and others and it is this baleful influence or the manifest human "foibles" which darken the social and religious atmosphere of our people in the past decade. In the great battle of life we are sometimes made to pause by the wayside to think, to look! and to wonder!! Science is the hand maid of religion otherwise it is purely meritorious. As by indirection we find direction out, and yet it should be particularly gratifying to all thinking men, viewed in the light of the quint adage, in the Scriptural admonition, that "without controversy great is, and must always be the mystery of Godliness." Under the caption of unfinished business, Dr. Newton called up the pending question between the committees appointed sometime since, and a committee from the Baptist Union, growing out of the proposition from the Baptist union to organize a new inter-deminational union, which precipitated the discussion of the day, in which there were copious effusion of fine oratory by Drs. Newton, Wells, Singleton, Woods and Doughtry, pro and con. Dr. Sims called the vice president, Rev. James Jackson, to the chair, and took the floor in defence of the dignity as well as the indestructibility of the Evangelical Ministers Union, as an intr-deminational organization. Dr. Sims' address was one of the most brilliant of parliamentary efforts, his consummate skill in dealing with intricate matters, the weight and cognacity of his logic, the lofty love of truth and common manhood that inspired his wonderful peroration would naturally overwhelm friends and foes alike, and carry conviction to every heart, even among the most learned magicians of modern intelligence and no one was left in doubt as to the salient motives in the premises. The committee was finally instructed to inform the brethren of the Baptist Union that as heretofore, the Evangelical Ministers Union stands open and ready to receive into membership any minister of the gospel of any orthodox denomination who may be desirous to affiliate with us. E. Jonathan Nelson, Secretary. Union Baptist Church On Sunday last the services at the Union Baptist Church were grand as usual. The church was crowded. Mrs. Mollie Brinson's funeral was attended at the church on Thursday last. The Golden Star Circle Aid Society turned out in grand style. Sunday was our communion day. The pastor preached from Philip, 1-6, subject "Growing in grace." The Sunday School was largely attended as usual. At four o'clock the Lord's supper was administered. At 8:30 the pastor preached from Ex. 32:11-12, subject "The eagle's nest." We are now preparing to celebrate our twelfth anniversary beginning on the 16th, and continuing to the 23rd. We cordially invite our friends to help us celebrate our anniversary. At this writing our pastor is indisposed not being able to attend to his pastoral duties. St. Philips Monumental. Bishop H. M. Turner of Atlanta, spent last Saturday night in the city, the guest of Rev. and Mrs. R. H. Singleton. The bishop was on his way to the seat of the South Florida Conference at Palatka. The bishop hopes to spend his declining years in South Africa. Eight lodges of the Independent Order of Good Samaritans, under the jurisdiction of Grand Lodge No. 17, of Georgia, will hold their 57th anniversary service at St. Philips Monumental church. Mr. John D. Campbell, and Miss Gertrude Harris were united in matrimony on Thursday evening last at the Monumental parsonage. The ceremony was performed by Rev. R. H. Singleton. Bolton Street Church. The pentecostal services at the F. A. B. Church, which was commenced on last Monday night, has been very interesting this week. Great interest is being manifested in them, and they have already proven a means of inspiration to the large crowds who attend each night. The object of these meetings is to awaken a high sense of spiritual activity in the members, and to get their hearts prepared for a most glorious rivival. Rev T. M. Williamson, B. D., the eloquent and hard working pastor, announced some time ago, that the revival would be a failure without the presence of the Holy spirit, and urged that the members unite in praying for the spirit. That is what the pentecostal services are being held for. The revival will begin next week, and all Christian soldiers are invited out, to assist in a battle against sin and satan. On to-morning morning Rev. Williamson's subject will be "Sweeping through the gates." You are invited to be present at each service. St. Philip's Dots. Sunday was communion day. All the services were well attended. Dr. Newton preached an excellent sermon from Luke 2:2, subject "Jesus our greet Physician." Like all of Dr. Newton's discourses it was beneficial in more than one way. The choir, under the leadership of Mr. B. S. Ried, rendered some very good music at the morning service in fact our choir has improved wonderfully and you can look for good music at all our services. The alto, soprano and tenor voices are very good and need great praise. At 3 p. m. the holy communion was administered by Rev. Newton, assisted by Revs. Wells and Capps. At 7:45, Rev. Newton preached to the largest congregation that has attended the church this winter. His text was Rev. 10:1. Rev. Newton preached for three-fourths of an hour and every person in the audience was well pleased with what they heard. Our present edifice is too small, our membership has outgrown the edifice, and we will have to do something to accommodate our friends. The Armstrong Bros gave quite an interesting entertainment on Monday night and a large crowd attended. Easter day will be celebrated on a high scale at St Philips this year. The Christian Endeavor is very interesting on Sunday afternoons. Come out and bring your friends. The usual services will be held to-morrow. Come early and get a comfortable seat. College Dots. The Farmers Conference was a success. There was the largest number of representative farmers ever enrolled in the history of the organization. The speeches of the farmers containing detailed accounts of their experiences in farming and acquiring homes and farms were interesting, encouraging and inspiring. The Womans Conference presided over by Mrs. R. R. Wright was also a success. The evening sessions at which the problem was discussed were largely attended. The same officers were re elected. Mr. D. L. Jackson, of Albany, President; Rev R. H. Thomas, of College, 1st. vice-president; Mr. Eli Strickland, of Valdosta, 2nd. Vice-president; Mr. I. M.

Let the good work continue. Bro. S. G. Garvin of White City is still W. M., and is keeping things on the move. Bro. I. H. Cook informs us of the death of Bro. Hiram Parker which occurred some time ago. He was a good Christian and Mason. Bro. Daniel Harris of Ionic at Vienna is leading his lodge to success. He is always doing something to interest the boys and boom the order. What is the matter with Bro. A. J. Gould at Vidalia? We don't hear from him. He must be busy shelling the woods for Satan. He is always engaged in something good. Bro. Gould is a power. The Lodge at Dixie lost its hall by fire lost summer, and Worshipful Master Rogers writes that he is not discouraged, but is holding the brethren together and despite it all will render a good report. District Deputy S S Mincey is a hustler for the O. E S. He is working up the order in his district. Other deputies should gain incentive from him. Bro. S. S. is a power for good. Worshipful Master Glenn O. Smith of Fidelity Lodge is doing good work. Last week he initiated three more candidates in the mysteries of the craft. He is a good worker, and in fact the right man in the right place. Long live Glenn O. Our good Bro. W. B. Robinson at Cairo, always remember us in many ways. We are sorry to note that he is not in the best of health, but is able to keep up interest in the craft. Ezekiel has sent $13.50 for the home. Bro. D. A Aikens is the faithful W. M. One of the youngest, yet best con ducted lodges is Madison Sun Lodge, at Madison. This lodge is being led by that prince of Masons, Bro. Jas. A Love. He has massy at heart and is making his influence felt in that direction not only in his lodge but in his community. Death Rate Decreasing. The 1900 census shows a decrease of 10 per cent in the general death rate. The decline in Consumption is more marked than any other disease. Many causes are attributed, but it is safe to say that Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds is responsible for this decline, to a large extent. Many a life has been saved by its use. There is nothing anywhere just as good for Lung and Throat troubles. It's positively guaranteed by Knight's Pharmacy Company.

Mr. Editor: It was my good fortune to attend the 16th anniversary of Household of Ruth, No. 438 G. U. O. of O. F. which was most grandly celebrated at Harris street, hall, Friday evening Feb. 27. The hall was most beautifully decorated and brilliantly lighted like Eden of old. The sweet damels from the Juvenile Society, blushing maidens and stat-ly women from Household of Ruth, 438 G. U. O. of O. F., gorgeously attired, appeared upon the arena of pleasure at 9 o'clock, and this happy band was augmented by one hundred invited guests, the cream of high life society and this lent splendor to brilliancy in a most picturesque way. Prof. Jno. McIntosh happily treated the audience to one of the richest and most delightful literary and musical programmes that my eyes, my ears, my whole being has feasted upon for many years. The audience was held spellbound for two hours, while speech and recitation and song enraptured it beyond the power of pen to describe. Most Noble Governor, Mrs. R Ethel Wright of Household of Ruth, 438 electrified us all with a splendidly prepared and well rendered paper of welcome, in which she most scholarly treated the past, present and future of the principles of the Order and the exquisite and wonderful strides and acquisitions of House hold of Ruth 438. Worthy District Most Noble Governor Mrs. R. L. Barnes of District Household No. 8, of Georgia was magnificently grand in her response of welcome. Her paper was a jewel of thought. I want the good professor to repeat that whole programme when Armour and Household of Ruth give their Easter Hop and grand spring series of entertainments in April. I want to see Miss C. B. Hendrick son in her "Kentucky water million" and Messrs C. F. Waters, M. W. Bryan, Jno. McIntosh, Jr., and Misses Dunmore and Franklin in their "Irish Drama" If I can get these I know I can get "Specially Jim" by Miss Lilla Roberts and the sweet, sweet songster Mrs. Susie S. Williams. But Mr. Editor while I must admit that the good professor's literary and musical treat was rich beyond the power of pen to delineate yet I must say that, that supper in its quality and its quantity and in the mathematical arrangements for serving has no equal Think of it Mr. Editor, two hundred persons dining at one time, at one table and served by a small committee to rice, ham, chicken, tongue, salad, oysters, nuts, raisins, oranges, wines, cakes, and cream. Ah, I shall see it again and again in my dreams. Some say long live the king in his great estate, But I say long live Household of Ruth 438, and when you want things to sure go straight call on Gio.

LOGAN'S A Beautiful Canadian Girl Saved From Catarrh of the Lungs by Pe-ru-na. MISS FLORENCE KENAH. "A few months ago I caught a severe cold, which settled on my lungs and remained there so persistently that I became alarmed. I took medicine without benefit, until my digestive organs became upset, and my head and back began to ache severely and frequently. "I was advised to try Persuia, and although I had little faith, I felt so sick that I was ready to try anything. It brought me blessed relief at once, and I felt that I had the right medicine at last. Within three weeks I was completely restored and have enjoyed contented health." WOMEN should beware of contracting catarrh. The cold wind and rain, slush and mud of winter are especially conducive to catarrhial derangements. Few women escape. Upon the first symptoms of catching cold Peruna should be taken. It fortifies the system against colds and catarrh. The following letter gives one young woman's experience with Peruna: Miss Rose Gerbing is a popular society woman of Crown Point, Ind., and she writes the following: "Recently I took a long drive in the country, and being too thinly clad I caught a bad cold which settled on my jungs, and which I could not seem to shake off.

Leupp, who has gathered material during several years' experience as the Washington correspondent of a New York daily. Mr. Leupp claims that Congress is rarely witty, but of its "humor there is no end." One of the many capital stories he tells is of Speaker Reed: "How much do you weigh?" a fellow member once asked Reed. "Two hundred pounds," he answered. "Pshaw!" exclaimed his friend. "You weigh more than that." "No," said Reed, solemnly; "no gentleman weighs more than two hundred pounds." A BARRIER.

"I had suffered for three years with terrible pains at the time of menstruation, and did not know what the trouble was until the doctor pronounced it inflammation of the ovaries, and proposed an operation. "I felt so weak and sick that I felt sure that I could not survive the ordeal. The following week I read an advertisement in the paper of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in such an emergency, and so I decided to try it. Great was my joy to find that I actually improved after taking two bottles, and in the end I was cured by it.

W who called at her tidy home, No. "I hired a girl to mind the children and to do whatever else she could. I couldn't stay in bed long. Sick as I was, it was easier for me to crawl around than to lie and worry about my little ones. So I got up after a few days, and let the girl go. I had noticed that she had sores on her face, hands and arms, but I paid no attention to that until Charlie, my youngest, began to pick and scratch himself. He was then ten months old, and the girl had paid more attention to him than to any of the others. Charlie was fretful and cross, but as he was cutting teeth, I didn't think much of that. Even when a rash broke on his face I wasn't frightened, because everybody knows that that is quite common with teething babies. Several of my others had it when little, and I thought nothing about it. "But the rash on Charlie's poor little face spread to his neck; chest, and back. I had never seen anything quite like it before. The skin rose in little lumps, and matter came out. My baby's skin was hot, and how he did suffer! He wouldn't eat, and night after night I walked the floor with him, weak as I was. Often I had to stop because I felt faint and my back throbbed with pain. But the worst pain of all was to see my poor little boy burning with those nasty sore "I believed he had caught some disease from the girl, but some of the neighbors said he had eczema, and that is not catching, they told me. Yes, I gave him medicine, and put salves and things on him. I don't think they were all useless. Once in a while the itching seemed to let up a bit, but there was not much change for the better until a lady across the street asked me why I didn't try the Cuticura remedies. I told her I had no faith in those things you read about in the papers. She said she didn't want me to go on faith nor even to spend any money at first. She gave me some Cuticura Ointment—I think the box was about half full—and a piece of Cuticura Soap.
