SOCIALISTS BIFFED Likewise Labor Unions are Scored by D. M. Parry. -MANUFACTURERS GATHER Great Convention of Men Who Make Things and Do Things Called to Order in Atlanta—Royal Wel- The National Association of Manufacturers was called together in annual convention at Atlanta Tuesday. Governor Joseph M. Terrell, Mayor James G. Woodward and Colonel John Temple Graves followed each other in addresses of welcome and each extended a welcome to the visitors that should make them feel perfectly at home during their entire stay. On behalf of the manufacturers, William McCarroll of New York responded to the addresses of welcome. Mr. McCarroll began with a tribute to Georgia's orators. He spoke with eloquence of Alexander Stephens, Ben Hill and Henry W. Grady. Mr. McCarroll then turned his attention to the work and purpose of the manufacturers' association, especially with reference to labor. "I do not like to speak of the differences between capital and labor as strife or war, but let me say, in all candor, that when the manufacturers of New Orleans flung out the bannet of 'liberty for all' they proclaimed to the world that every workman is free, free to work where and for whom and for what wage he pleases. I believe that the manufacturers were justified in taking that stand, and that they performed a great service to the business interests of the country." Mr. McCarroll's sentiments in reference to the position taken by the association toward organized labor were received by the delegates with applause. The feature of the opening session of the convention was the annual address of D. M. Parry, who said, in part: "It is with a feeling of deep gratification that I take up the gavel of the tenth annual convention of the National Association of Manufacturers. During the past year our country has made rapid progress in the arts of peace, and our association has enjoyed the most successful period in its history. We, therefore, have much cause for felicitation. While there are many questions of a vital character demanding the attention of those engaged in industrial life, yet it is an agreeable reflection that the prosperity of the nation still continues and that the problems that confront us are only such as may reasonably be expected to be solved without serious check to the material and social welfare of the entire people. "We meet this year in the beautiful city of Atlanta, the gateway of the middle south. It has only been two years since the convention at New Orleans, on which occasion the generous hospitality accorded us made our visit most memorable. Now we are again the guests of a southern city. The delegates to this convention will once more have the opportunity of experiencing that hospitality for which the south is famous. "During the last days of the recent congress a resolution was adopted, directing the war department to return the battle flags of the south. This was a most significant recognition of the disappearance of the political sectional lines which for so many years divided our common country. With the blotting out of these lines the industrial lines of demarkation have also disappeared and our presence here is in itself evidence of the growing importance of the manufacturing and commercial interests of the south. "It is a mere repetition of a truth FOREST STATUE UNVEILED. Memphis Now Has Lasting Memento of "Wizard of the Saddle." To the accompaniment of martial music and in the presence of thousands of citizens and visitors, the statue of Lieutenant General Nathan Bedford Forest was unveiled at Memphis, Tenn., Tuesday afternoon in the park that bears the confederate chieftain's name. Little Miss Bradley, a great-granddaughter of the dead hero, pulled the silken cord which exposed to view the handsome monument. The Savannah Tribune. "STANDPATS" JOLTED. By Tentative Decision of the Canal Commission to Buy Ditch Material. In Foreign Markets. A Washington dispatch says: Stalwart republicans are very much incensed at the action of the president and the Panama canal commission in decided to purchase canal supplies in foreign markets. On the theory that they can be bought cheaper abroad than at home. This move is obviously a direct admission of the forcefulness of the democratic position that a high tariff means higher prices to the masses in this country and helps only the trusts and the industries, which are big enough to help themselves. One republican senator, who discussed the matter, said it would give the democrats a weapon of inestimable value in their fight against the high tariff policy. So astounded are some of the standpatters, that they refuse to credit the report until they see Secretary Tatt's official indorsement. Representative Grosvenor, one of the most prominent of the apostles of the protective tariff, went so far as to say: "If the government is to be the complainant against the prices that are the result of this employment of American labor at American wages, it will certainly furnish a theme for some very interesting deliberations over the tariff." The revisionist view of the case will be that the high tariff people and the protected industries have brought the issue upon themselves by overplaying their hand. It is known that the canal commission has been confronted with prices on steel rails for the double tracking of the Panama railway several dollars a ton in excess of the price of the very same rails, sold by the same American makers in foreign markets. The same is said to be true of other supplies and machinery. often expressed to say that the resources of this part of our country are immense and that they have hardly as yet been touched. The coal and iron in these mountains have already called into existence extensive steel and iron mills and their allied industries, while cotton manufacture is naturally becoming a leading industry where the cotton of the world is produced. Europe imports $300,000,000 of the cotton of the south, about one-fifth of our entire exports, and England alone, after supplying her home demands for cotton goods, exports to other countries more of the manufactured article than is produced by all our spindles and looms. Why should not the countries that buy English goods made of American cotton be supplied directly from American mills? At no distant day the narrow cleft of the isthmus that is to unite the great seas will place the south nearer to the great markets of the Orient and the South Pacific than Europe now is, and every condition seems to exist for the rapid industrial development of this great section of our country. "Before proceeding to a brief consideration of the labor question, I wish to make a few statements respecting the tendency toward socialism which at this time is being strongly manifested in many ways. The socialistic party last fall cast nearly a half million votes, a remarkable development in strength, and organized labor composed of over two million employees arrayed in opposition to individualism continues, according to reports of its officials, to increase its membership. The growth of an avowedly socialistic party and organized labor, with its present creed, is certainly a sinister fact to all loyal citizens who understand and appreciate the importance of individual liberty. "There is no question but that organized labor works immeasurably more harm to the best interests of labor than it accomplishes good." COTTON SEED MEN CONVENE. Interstate Crushers' Association Meet In Force at New Orleans. The Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers' Association opened its annual session in New Orleans, Tuesday, with a large attendance and an important program. President C. Fitzsimmons of Columbia, S. C., presided. President E. F. Kohnke of the board of trade and President M. J. Sanders of the Progressive Union welcomed the visitors. J. C. Hamilton of Baton Rouge responded. SAVANNAH. GA. SATURDAY. MAY 20. 1905. ROW WITH HUNGARY. Immigration Inspector Braun Charges That His Mall is Tampered With and President Takes a Hand. President Roosevelt is manifesting a particular interest in the case of Marcus Braun, a special inspector of the United States immigration service, who is having trouble with officials of the Austro-Hungarian government, whom he charges with tampering with his official mail. Inspector Braun complained of his treatment to Ambassador Storer, who cabled to the state department some details of the case. Inspector Braun has made several reports to the bureau of immigration as a result of his inquiries in Europe, especially in Austria-Hungary. One of these reports was received by the department last autumn and another a few days ago. The first is sensational in its statements. It contains allegations, backed by affidavits, of the Austro-Hungarian government's efforts to foist upon this country immigrants who may not be desirable from the viewpoint of American people. The charge is made specifically that the Austro-Hungarian government is paying the steamship companies large sums of money each year to bring immigrants to this country and also that the immigrants are being urged to become American citizens. The reports of Inspector Braun have not been published, lest the statements they contain might cause friction between the United States and the Austro-Hungarian government. The officials of the latter government have been cognizant in a general way of the contents of Inspector Braun's reports for some time, and it is intimated that is one reason for the trouble in which he now finds himself involved. The president, Saturday, called for the reports of Inspector Braun and will go over them himself in connection with the consideration of the inspector's present difficulty. Tampering with the mail of an official in a foreign country is a serious matter, and there is no disposition on the part of the officials of the department of commerce and labor to treat the complaint of Inspector Braun lightly. RUSSIAN MAY-DAY BLOODLESS. Whips of Cossacks Kept Down Expected Rlotting in Empire. The widely heralded May day demonstration in St. Petersburg Sunday did not result in the bloodshed predicted. At the Preobrajensky cemetery, where the principal meeting in honor of the "January martyrs," as the victims of "red Sunday" are popularly called, had been advertised, a crowd, largely composed of curiosity seekers, assembled. Cosacks dispersed the crowd by using their whips freely, inflicting many injuries. There was a similar incident on Varsill island, where a dozen students, mainly girls, raised the "Marseillaise," and gathered a crowd. Cossacks centered up and dispersed the crowd with whips, seeming to take special pleasure in slashing the girl students with their knouts; but the latter apparently were anxious to pose as martyrs and deliberately provoked attack by singing revolutionary songs. In St. Petersburg the day was passed happily without a drop of blood being shed. The revolutionists found it impossible to execute the program of demonstrations and bomb-throwing which they so widely advertised, the workingmen declining to sacrifice themselves to advocate the propaganda of their self-constituted leaders, and the advertised meetings were attended chiefly by spectators Comptroller of the Currency Ridgley has levied an assessment of 66 2-32 per cent on stockholders of the First National bank of Milwaukee to make good the defalcation of former President Bigelow. The amount of the assessment will reach $1,000,000. WHITE MAN IMPLICATED. Negro Makes Confession Anent the Murder of Holbrook and His Wife. Claud Elder, one of the negroes who has been in jail in Watkinsville, Ga., since the Holbrook murder, a few nights ago, has made a confession, in which he implicates a white man. The confession was made to Rev. Sullivan, pastor of the Methodist church, John Wilson and Arthur Barwick. Elder says the crime was committed by Rich and Lewis Robinson, two negroes, and that Ronal Aycock, a white farmer, was a party to it. WORK OF TRAIN WRECKERS. Cars Ditched and Six People Hurt, Two of Whom May Die. An Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe passenger train was ditched by train- wreckers Sunday just east of Emporia, Kansas. Six passengers were injured, and two will probably die. This is the fourth attempt in the last four months to wreck passenger trains in the same place. Previous attempts were made by piling ties on the track and without serious results. Sunday's wreck was caused by driving the spikes and fish plates of two rails on the inside of a curve. The locomotive passed over the loose rails safely, but a mail car left the track and was dragged 100 yards along the embankment before the train was stopped. The next five cars, two express and baggage cars, a smoking car and two day coaches, were ditched. The passengers were asleep when the wreck occurred. There is no clew to the wreckers. Three men were seen Saturday night near the Howard branch section house. Sunday morning a track wrench and a claw bar were missing and they were found in a pool of water near the wreck. WOMAN POSED AS CARLOTTA And Duped a Lot of Simple-Minded Dagoes of Boston Town. A woman, who claimed to be Carlotta, the wife of Maximillan, former emperor of Mexico, and brother of the present emperor of Austria, has left Boston, Mass., after securing some $40,000 from members of the Italian colony in that city on the pretense that she was the rightful claimant of the Austrian throne. She is being sought by over 100 residents of the North End district, who for almost eight years have been paying her money to enable her, as they supposed, to gain possession of the Austrian throne, upon which event taking place she promised that those who helped her would be made ministers and nobles and be given vast estates. ALLEGED LYNCHERS LIBERATED. Jury Quickly Decided Five White Men Were Not Gulity. After being out fifteen minutes, the jury in the case against five white men on trial in Orangeburg, S. C., charged with lynching a negro, Keitit Bookhardt, at Eutawville, brought in a verdict of not guilty. The state's evidence was chiefly that of a man who claimed to have been in the party when the negro was killed. The defense put up wives and relatives of prisoner, who swore that the defendants were at home in bed when the crime was alleged to have been committed. TRIPLE TRAGEDY IN MEMPHIS. Man Kills Sweetheart, His Rival and Then Himself. A triple tragedy occurred in Memphis, Tenn., about dusk Sunday night, when Thomas McCall, an employee of the Illinois Central railroad, shot and killed Edith Ferguson, a woman well known about town, and Hal Williamson. The murderer an hour later turned the weapon upon himself, firing a bullet into his head. The cause was jealousy. GANG IN WASHINGTON. Wayward Nan; Her Father, Sister and Brother-In-Law "at Home." Nan Patterson accompanied by her father and Mr. and Mrs. J. Morgan Smith arrived in Washington from New York at 7:20 Saturday morning and proceeded to the Patterson home on Columbia Heights, a modest two-story cottage, where they arrived in time for breakfast. A crowd of curious persons awaited the arrival of the train at the Pennsylvania depot. President Roosevelt has approved the recommendation of Secretary Monto that the body of John Paul Jones be buried at Annapolis, Md. THREE HELD FOR MURDER. Negroes Jalled on Charge of Killing Aged Man and HIs Wife. Aged man and wife Jim Taylor, Sidney Morris and Claud Elder, three negroes under 23 years of age, are in the jail at Watkinsville, Ga., charged with the murder of old man Frank Holbrook and his wife near that place Tugslay night. Two of the negroes were traced by bloodhounds. They had previously been prosecuted by Holbrook for burglary and had made threats to kill him. The murderers got, away with $400 that the old couple had in the house: DEATHS EXAGGERATED. But Work of Tornado in Snyder Was Appalling Enough—Killed is Placed at 180 and Injured at 150. The latest reports from the tornado-stricken town of Snyder, Okla., place the list of dead at 95. Other rumors advance this figure to 100. It is highly probable, however, that the death list when accurately tabulated will reach 180. Of those injured there are various reports, reaching from 100 to 150. The storm formed near the Texas line and its path extends in a northeasterly direction for over 40 miles, causing damage at Altus, Olustee and other small towns and in the country as well as at Snyder. Reports indicate that the casualties outside of Snyder will aggregate over twenty-five, and may go higher. Relief is being sent from neighboring towns. From Oklahoma City Thursday went 100 men to dig graves and seek the dead still in ruins and also a dozen undertakers with 100 coffins. Offers of financial assistance came from numerous cities. Governor Ferguson of Oklahoma has issued a proclamation calling attention to the needs of the stricken town. To add to the general confusion and distress, after the tornado had passed, fire broke out and burned up all that remained of the buildings in the business blocks. TWENTY KNOWN TO BE DEAD. Later Particulars of Railroad Horror Caused by Exploding Dynamite. Twenty persons are known to be dead and more than one hundred others injured in the railroad wreck and dynamite explosion which occurred early Thursday morning on the Pennsylvania railroad the southern part of Harrisburg, Pa. That no more persons were killed is considered remarkable by the Pennsylvania officials as a full box car of dynamite exploded directly at the middle of the heavy express train. The Pennsylvania railroad officials Thursday night gave out a list containing the names of ninety-eight persons who were injured and treated at hospitals or elsewhere. The company also gave a list containing the names of thirty-six persons who were in the wreck and whose injuries are not given. PRESIDENT AT THE HELM. Arrives in Washington and Relieves Taft of Service on the "Lid." President Roosevelt reached home at midnight Thursday night from his western trip, which he regards as one of the most enjoyable journeys he has taken since he has been president. He traveled 6,006 miles, and passed through twelve states and three territories—Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Indian Territory, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa. Every state and territory in the United States has been visited by Mr. Roosevelt, since he became president, and it is his intention to accept the hospitality of these states before his term is finished. It is probable that he will make a tour of the south some time before the convening of congress in the fall of this year. WATER WAGON FOR THE COPS. Policemen Barred from Drinking at Any Time or Anwhere. Hereafter no Atlanta policeman may become intoxicated with impunity, whether on duty or off duty, in the city or out of it. This decision was reached at the last meeting of the police commissioners, when one man was suspended and another discharged for drunkenness. Policemen may drink in the privacy of their homes, but if it shows upon them in public, whether they are in uniform or out of it, they will be discharged. Russian Warships Off Japanese Coast, It is reported in Toklo that two Russian warships from Vladivostok were off Aomori, which is located at the northern extremity off the main island of Japan. EIGHT-HOUR DAY . FOR PANAMA. Attorney General Holds That Law Applies to Isthmus Workers. In an opinion rendered by Attorney General Moody, regarding the application of the eight-hour law to the employees on the Isthmus of Panama, the attorney general holds that the law applies to those employees. An inspection of the opinion showed that it did not cover all the grounds desired by the canal commission, and consequently it will be returned to the attorney general for further consideration. SHOW GIRL IS FREE Nan Patterson Released From Jail Without Bail. District Attorney Jerome at New York Decides to Drop Prosecution of After more than eleven months in prison and three mistrials on the charge of murdering "Caesar" Young, Nan Patterson walked from the Tombs prison at New York Friday a free woman. As she left the great building which has been her home since a few days after Young was found dying in a cab in lower New York, 2,000 people greeted her with cheers, for the news that District Attorney Jerome would move for her dismissal from custody had spread throughout the vicinity of the court house. The move to discharge Nan Patterson came rather unexpectedly to the public. It was an hour or two before ndon when District Attorney Jerome appeared before Recorder Goff in special sessions and announced that he desired to move the discharge of the former chorus girl without ball and on her own recognizance. Not the least interesting of the day's events and perhaps the greatest dramatic climax to the troubles of the former Florodora girl was the reunion in freedom with her sister. Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, and her brother-in-law, J. Morgan Smith, both of whom were discharged by Justice Cowing in the court of general sessions, after being held on charges of conspiracy in connection with the Patterson case. Smith was also held for contempt of court in failing to obey a subpoena as a witness at the first trial. He was fined $250 and released on this charge. Then came the surprise, for Nan Patterson herself paid the fine, out of a check which had been given her by a friendly newspaper. District Attorney Jerome announced his decision to free Nan Patterson in a speech in the course of which he declared that during the last trial he had information that members of the jury had agreed that J. Morgan Smith had bought the revolver and that Nan Patterson carried it in the cab and that Young did not commit suicide. He took occasion to refute published reports as to the cost of the trial, stating that the whole expense was not more than $3,000. Following this line he declared that the newspapers had made "gross misrepresentations" and then said: "This case has caused one more step in this country toward trial by newspaper rather than trial by jury. I do not refer to those papers which have merely reported the proceedings, but to those that in their editorial rooms have labored to arouse sympathy for the prisoner with the result of a serious miscarriage of justice. Everything that the prosecution has done had my cordial and hearty approbation: I fear nothing for myself or my assistants. My assistant did rightly, bravely, honestly and went forward with my entire and perfect approbation." He concluded with the motion that Nan Patterson be discharged on her own recognizance. When she came into court Nan was smiling gayly, but as Recorder Goff began to address her the tears came into her eyes and before he concluded she was weeping. The recorder spoke with a kindly note in his voice that seemed to affect her very much. He closed thy saying: "Det me entreat you in all your future life to remember the terrible experience through which you have just passed and to permit every action of your life hereafter to be guided by that experience. I feel sure that you will do so; that you will remember your ordeal." CAPTAIN ON COSTLY SPREE. Government Paymaster Mysteriously Makes Way with $10,000. Captain Franklin W. Hart of Washington, D. C., paymaster of the transport Lawson, has been arrested at San Francisco for drunkenness, and will be courtmartialed. Hart, it is alleged, came down from Mare Island, with orders for $10,000 on the navy pay office. He returned so much under the influence of liquor that he was unable to transact business. It could not be learned by officials what he had done with the $10,000. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO. 116 W. St. Julian Street. Ga.'Phone 574. SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

EVERYTHING for good that the other races need, is doubly needed by us. No effort should be spared to attain them. The Negro press is being commended for the yoeman service that is being rendered the race. While this is a fact, so many of our people are so little appreciative of it. There are two openings at present that will prove more beneficial to our young men than any other, the mercantile and agricultural fields. These should be thoroughly exploited. We are proud of the large number of farmers among us throughout the state; some owning from a few acres to several thousand acres, and are doing well. They represent something that is solid. Would that there were thousands more like them. ANY man who has a mind to work can find something to do in Savannah; notwithstanding this there is a large number of young men who can be seen idle on the streets. It is from this class of our people where whatever there is of the race problem rests mostly. It would be far better to enforce the vagrancy law on them. Either make them work voluntarily or otherwise. THE TRIBUNE feels proud whenever any new enterprise is established among our people, but there seem to be a desire of some of us to have too many of the same kind of business. This should not be so. There are many lines of business not yet engaged in that can be conducted profitably. We need a furniture store, a shoe store, a clothing house, etc. Let us open up along these lines and not follow beaten paths. At the Men's Sunday club last Sunday, a very important point was raised by Rev. Adams and Mr. Geo. S., Williams in their short talk. To an extent certain of the educated men were scored for their non-interest in many things which would be helpful to the masses of our people. What these speakers said is voiced by us. If more of our educated men and women were to become interested in the welfare of the masses, there would be immediate improvement in conditions. This one lesson should be learned by them and that is, that they are their brother's keeper. If the noisy politician will let the Negro question alone the race problem will take care of itself. Lets keep it out of politics. The above was clipped from the Darien Gazette, one of the oldest and best of the journals published in the south by white men. What the Gazette says is true and if the idea could be fully carried out the result will be of untold benefit to both races. Of all the people in the world, the average Negro preacher has less reason for his failure to patronize Negro business enterprises than any one else. Every dollar that he receives comes from Negro congregations. He is in better position and has every reason to take an independent, manly stand for the Negro's upbuilding than any one else. He has nothing to fear, he is not obligated to any one else but the men and women of his race, many of whom are in business and contribute freely to the pastor's support, in order that he (the pastor) might support white concerns in the same line of business. The Brunswick Herald's article above is timely but there are some preachers who are too thick skinned to appreciate it. In our city we have a few, a few indeed who are noble exceptions to the rule, but the others do deserve nothing but contempt from the more loyal ones among us. "About half of the white race are nothing more than Negroes with a white skin," says the New York Globe, "if we are to believe a recent discovery made at Oxford University. In the eighteenth century there was considerable discussion among naturalists as to whether the the white man was a bleached Negro or the African a blacken- ed white man. The weight of opinion seem to be toward the former theory, and that the Negro was the original parent race, from which the whites eventually developed as what in science are known as sprots. If this were true one would expect to find a considerable number of whites with all, or many of the negroid peculiarities, except a black skin. A revival of these ancient theories seems to indicate that such is the case to a far more startling degree than any one has imagined. As the result of an application of some new data recently published by Oxford scientist, Prof. Karl Person writes: 'Thus of the whole English population slightly more than 50 per cent are either pure negroid or partially negroid,' while in the Negro race but 40 per cent show pure 'negroidness.' This he says, apparently in a somewhat ironical mood, is very remarkable, in fact an epoch, making, discovery which will at once 'attract attention to Oxford as a center for a novel school of craniotomy and anthropology.' for it amounts to the statement that 50 per cent of the white race are Negroes, except for their color.' Masonic Notes The Grand Master has sent out personal appeals to the Grand Lodge officers to have the Lodges in their several localities make a big report. Each officer and member of subordinate Lodges should enter fully in the needs of the Grand Lodge and also, think of their required duty; if this is done, the report, financially and otherwise will be glowing. We should feel proud of the fact that the home and school was kept open the entire year, and of the good that has been accomplished. Added to this are the improvements that have been made. If your Lodge or any Lodge that you know of has failed to receive a call or blank for return, inform the Grand Secretary, and he will immediately forward the same. "May brotherly love prevail, and every moral virtue cement us" should be the continuous wish of every mason. Wherever there is a chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star there is immediate life among the brothers. Each Lodge in the community should have a chapter. The ladies are looking forward with much pleasure to the the coming meeting of the Grand Chapter, O. E. S. Short items of news among the lodges, as O. E S., will be welcomed for this column. Send the news in. If you are a mason, be a loyal one. Don't be a mason, in name only, but also in deed. Learn the lectures and become well informed. Write the Grand Secretary and secure any kind of books or masonic literature. Odd-Fellows Notes. Each Lodge on the alleged suspension list must not fail to send a delegate to the District Grand Lodge at Columbus, even if a great sacrifice has to be made. No fear should be felt about these delegates not being recognized for they will be without the least doubt. Attempts will be made to bluff these Lodges, but no attention should be paid to it. So go ahead and elect your delegates and send the credentials up as usual if ever they are returned to you. Each alleged suspended lodge must forward to the District Grand Secretary the usual tax. This "big mogul" will no doubt refuse to accept it but forward it any how. If it is returned, send it to the Grand Lodge by your representative. Representation is guaranteed in the District Grand Lodge to every Lodge in the State. This great right shall not be denied these Lodges. No man who is indicted for crimes is fit to rule the great army of Odd Fellows of this State. He shall be put down by all men. Grand Master Wilson is a good man, but he allows the "mogul" too much of his power. Cut out the endowment law and Odd-Fellowship will again bloom like a green bay tree in Gecrgia. Pythian Pointers Pythian circles is all agog about the next Grand Lodge and as to who is going to succeed the present Grand Chancellor. It is a foregone conclusion that he will be defeated, even though he has every deputy in the field working for him. No one man should hold the Grand Chancellorship forever. Boys there are too many able knights in the state who are fully capable to carry on this work to success and who should be honored, Georgia should have more knights who are eligible for the Supreme Lodge. As it is now she has only two, and it is understood, both of them are in favor of the Sanitarium tax which this state has voted down so unanimously. We need a strong man in the Supreme Lodge to counteract this tax that will sap the life out of the members. At the last Grand Lodge in Albany, every representative understood that the present Grand Chancellor would not run again. If he fails to abide by this understanding he should be made to feel it in a no uncertain way. "Countryman" attempted to answer the "Meddler" last week, but failed utterly. He failed to answer one single argument put up by the "Meddler." It is easily seen that the "Countryman" hadn't the ability to cope with the pointed and able article of the "Meddler." The joint committee is arranging to give the visitors a pleasant time while here. Harmony is needed in the session. The Grand Lodge session will be held at the Masonic Temple on West Gwinnett street. This was decided by the committee at its last meeting Royal Company. the new company of Knights of Pythias soon to be established in this city under the leadership of Capt. Chas. S. Andrews and Lieuts. P. I. Small and Thos. L. Baker, are tireless in their efforts, for the upbuilding of the same. There will be a Pythian address delivered on Sunday afternoon, the 21st inst., at Duffy street-hall, under the auspices of said company. Rev. H L. Haywood associated with Rev. W. A. Daughtry, will deliver the address, which will be interesting and will be enjoyed by all who attend. Members of the various lodges and company K of P., their families, the friends of the order and the public in general are cordially invited to attend. The exercise will commence at 4 p.m. No admission fee is charged Plenty seats. Everybody is invited to come and be welcome Glenwood Dots Rev. A. B.

We hope to have a sunshine day for the occasion. Donations Appreciated. The Alumni Committee of Atlanta University expresses its thanks to the graduates and undergraduates of the University, who reside in Savannah, for their prompt and cordial help in raising the fund that the Alumni Association voted last May to raise. Every dollar that the University gets in this way makes it easier to get two others in the North. G.A. Towns, Chairman. Beth-Eden Baptist Church Another big day at Beth Eden Baptist church.

Hurd has proven to be one of the best principals ever in charge of the Institute. He is thoroughly in line with the work and has made great sacrifice to remain here. During the year he introduced manual training in the school which has not in the least detracted from the usual studies. To prove how adept the boys have become can be seen by the well built platform in chapel and the well arranged book case in the same room. Some of the boys have made useful articles for their parents. All of this has been done under the direction of Prof. Hurd who is on adept along this line. The work of the students is open to the inspection of friends at any time. College Closing On commencement day at the Georgia State Industrial College, Prof. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee, will make the commencement address. The reputation of Mr. Washington is sufficient to say that it will be a great event in this section. Our citizens here and nearby should turn out on that day and give him an ovation he has never before had. Not only that but to show our appreciation of the work that is being accomplished by this institution. Commencement is June 7. Prof. Waring of Baltimore will also speak. Bethel A. M. E. Church The services on last Sunday were very effective and enjoyed by quite a large congregation. At night the pastor Rev. E.

On Sunday at 11 a.m. the pastor will preach from the subject, "God's promise to his plantation" At 8:30 p.m. the deferred subjeot, "A prayer meeting in Hell." Everybody is invited. Come and hear our pulpit champion. Second Baptist Church. Second Baptist Church. Services at the Second Baptist church last Sunday were well attended. Rev. S. H.

During the progress of the fire it was found out that Willie Hall, the son of Mrs. Hall, was missing. His room was on the third floor. In attempting to get out he was cut off by fire and smoke and was horribly burnt. His remains were taken in charge by the undertaker and buried Tuesday afternoon.

HAROLD SOXERS, 149 Delaware St., Brooklyn, S. F. Light-hued Shoes. Even the shoes of light hues have been taken under consideration. It looks like a piece of bees' wax or brown soap, and contains a little of everything, even rubber. Best of all, it isn't "messy." One simply rubs it over the rolled places until they are clean. This will also clean suede kid, though there is a new cream that is somewhat better for suede. Though both these cleaners act well on white buckskin, nothing is better than the whitewash-like preparation with which all are familiar. This, however, is a whitewash rather than a cleaner, and so, at intervals, the shoes should be washed in soapsuds. After being quickly dried the "whitewash" is applied. It is equally good for white linen shoes. The grayer the shoe the worse it looks unless it be "spick and span." He Was Very Much Alive When visiting one of the primary schools some years ago, the day before Memorial Day, or Decoration Day, as it was then more generally called, I, as usual, as a member of the School Board, addressed the pupils.

"Decorate the soldiers' graves," said all together again. "Why do you decorate their graves any more than others?" This was a sticker, but finally, one little held up his hand. "Well, shr, why is it?" "Because they are dead and we ain't."—Boston Herald. Time Elles.

Apropos of the* Friedrich Schiller centenary it is interesting to recall that when the news of the birth of the poet recalled, his father, the latter besought God to bestow upon the boy "those gifts of mind and soul to which he himself, through lack of education, had never attained." QUICK RESULTS. W. J. Hill, of Concord, N. C., Justice of the Peace, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills proved a very efficient remedy in my case.

Dr. Truman J. Backus, president of Packer Institute, Brooklyn, recently said in a public address that the best sermon he had ever heard was preached to him by an old colored man, the former body-servant of Governor Bull, of South Carolina. Doctor Backus was a visitor to Charleston, and during a drive about the city with the Confederate soldier who fired the first shot at *Fort Sumter he met this aged negro. The Confederate asked him how he was getting on. "Masse," said the old man, cheerfully. "I'm just making the best out of the worst." -Ram Horn. TWO VIEWS "Yes, he used to be in the newspaper business, but he's studying for the ministry now. He says he decided that he couldn't be a reporter and save his soul." "Indeed! I believe his old city editor put it differently. He says he couldn't be a reporter to save his soul."—Philadelphia Press Fixing Railroad Rates. Making railroad rates is like playing a game of checkers or chess. Communities to be benefited, producers, manufacturers or shippers to be aided represent the pieces used. Every possible move is studied for its effect on the general result by skilled traffic managers. A false move in the making of freight rates may mean the ruin of a city, of a great manufacturing interest, of an agricultural community. Railroads strive to build up all these so that each may have an equal chance in the sharp competition of business. So sensitivity to this rivalry are the railroads that in order to build up business along their lines they frequently allow the shipper to practically dictate rates. Rate making has been a matter of development; of mutual, concessions for mutual benefit. That is why the railroads of the United States have voluntarily made freight rates so much lower in this country than they are on the government-owned and operated railways of Europe and Australia that they are how the lowest transportation rates in the world. Barber Shop and Rules. It was at barber shop yesterday afternoon, on First avenue, that it happened. "Next!" shouted the barber, who had just dealt with a customer. Two persons at once sprang from the chairs where they had been waiting patiently and approached the knight of the razor each looking ferociously and inquiringly at the other. One of them was an elderly personage, evidently from the country, the other a young sprig of city breed, whose down had just begun to indicate the slow and uncertain approach of beard. "Which of you is next?" asked the barber. "I am," said the young man. "No, you are not," protested the other, "and, as I am the oldest, I claim first chance. Besides, I am in a great hurry." "Ah! I see you are from the country and, of course, do not understand the rules of society governing such cases as this," said the youth. "What is the rule?" "Simply this. Beauty goes before age. So I will take the chair. See?" Simply thing, beauty goes before age. So I will take the chair. See?" "Oh, well; that's right. Mr. Barber shave him first. He has got the best of me by that rule of his, and come to think of it, he's right according to the rule where I come from." "Indeed? What is the rule where you come from, old chap?" asked the young fellow, as he fixed himself comfortably in the barber's chair. "Well, young man, the rule down my way is that we always keep the pigs ahead of us."—Seattle Post Intelligence. Matching Shades to Dodge Them. Before trying to match the sample of silk the clerk asked: "Is this a piece of something you want, or something you don't want?" want, or something you don't want?" "Something I want, of course," replied the customer, with asperity. "You don't suppose, do you, that I would go to all this trouble for a thing I can't use?" "Some folk do," said the clerk. "I've met a number of them. The first woman I ever saw with that kind of bee in her bonnet had a square inch of blue silk that she wanted me to match. The scrap of silk was so small that it was hard to make comparisons, but after hauling down half the blue bolts on the shelves and running to the door several times to test the color in broad daylight, I found the exact shade. "How many yards do you want, madame? I asked. "Oh,' said the woman, 'I don't want any. Almost any other piece will do. That particular shade is very unbecoming. I just wanted to make sure that I don't get it,that's all.' The customer laughed. "What did you say?" she asked. "I'd rather not tell," said the clerk. "Anyhow, since then I have been cautious. Before matching a sample now I inquire as politely as possible into a customer's intentions. If it's a case of 'Don't want' I don't hurt myself matching the shade."—New, York Press. POSSIBLY.
