VOL. XXI. SHERMAN HALTEB President Stops March of Officers Through Georgia. GONSIDERED AN INSULT State's Representatives at Washington Make Caustic Comments and Say Investigation Will Be De- President Roosevelt Tuesday night issued orders for the return to their post at Chickamauga of the officers and soldiers detailed as escort to Rev. Tom Sherman, Catnolic priest, after Resaca, Ga., was reached. In response to a dispatch sent to him by the war department regarding the report that a military escort had been furnished Rev. Sherman, a son of the late General William Tecumseh Sherman, for a march to the sea over the route General Sherman took during the civil war, the war department Tuesday night received a telegram from Brigadier General Willam P. Duvall at Atlanta, commanding the department of the gulf, stating that two officers, with eight enlisted men were authorized by department commander to go over the line of operations of General Sherman's army in its movements to Atlanta, and to act as escort for Rev. Sherman, a son of the late General Sherman, who wished for historical reasons to go over the same territory. The officers were selected because of being interested in study of former operations of the army. A Washington dispatch says: Rev. Tom Sherman's miniature imitation of his father's famous march through Georgia has brought forth indignant protests from the southern contingent in congress, and an investigation by the war department into the responsibility for the reported detail of United States soldiers to act as escort for old Tecumseh's son is requested. Senator Bacon of Georgia, in calling attention of the war department officials to the Chattanooga report, demanded an explanation. Acting Secretary of War Oliver, Chief of the General Staff General J. Franklin Bell and Military Secretary Ainsworth all declare the department knew nothing of the affair. They at once telegraphed General W. P. Duvall, commander of the department of the gulf, at Atlanta, making inquiry for the facts. Congressman Livingston of Georgia telegraphed Governor Terrell, urging him to protest against such an expedition by federal troops and to stop it if necessary. The incident was widely discussed by southerners at the capitol. The consensus of opinion was that such a proceeding as furnishing a military escort to a civilian was not only most unusual and improper, but it was especially to be deprecated under the present circumstances. "Aside from all questions of propriety," said Senator Bacon, 'such a thing as an escort for Father Sherman is entirely unnecessary. If General Sherman himself were alive he could with perfect safety and impunity march through Georgia on horseback or on foot without fear of being molested in any way. To give Father Sherman a military escort either assumes the contrary to be true or is an entirely, uncalled for piece of orientation calculated to be offensive to our people. For these reasons I have protested against it. Senator Clay said: "I regard the proceedings most remarkable, and when we get the facts called for by Senator Bacon, we will join in such protests as the facts seem to call for. Other members of the Georgia defection expressed themselves in similar terms. The feeling of southerners generally is one of resentment at the episode. FIEND MEETS JUST DESERTS. Woman Kills Husband Who Criminally Assaulted Daughter. George Fogle of Brooklyn·Heights, Md., returned to his home Monday night after he had been drinking, and, entering a room where his wife and 12-year-old daughter were in bed, drew a revolver and announced that he would shoot upon being Interfered with. Fogle then threw his wife to the floor and assaulted his daughter. Mrs. Fogle secured the revolver and fired five shots at her husband, killing him instantly. The Savannah Tribune. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MAY 5, 1906. PREDICTS FOOD FAMINE. Mayor of San Francisco Creates Surprise in Statement That Supplies Are Far Short of Needs. A San Francisco special says: A feeling akin to consternation was created at the meeting of the general municipal committee Monday, when Mayor Schmitz stated that the city faced a shortage in the food supply. It had been the popular belief and that of many officials that the city, through the generous aid of the nation, had been placed in a position above want for a long time to come, and the mayor's declaration come in the nature of a painful surprise. Mayor Schmitz informed the general committee that from information in his possession, it appeared that 700 car loads of food and supplies of various description had been distributed since the morning of the earthquake on April 18, and the Southern Pacific, the Santa Fg and other transportation lines had information of only 108 cars on the way. "If," said the mayor, "this information is correct, and I have no reason to doubt it we will soon be worse off than we were a week ago. If the information has gone abroad through the country that we are amply supplied, it is most unfortunate, for it is apparent that we are not." Chairman Phelan of the committee on finance, supplementing the remarks of the mayor, said he had as yet received no reply to his telegram to Secretary of War Taft asking what the relief committee might expect out on the fund of $2,500,000 appropriated by congress, and in the absence of such reply, continued to assume that this would be available. WOULD HANG REV. SHERMAN. March of Son of General Over Historic Route Angers Veterans. A Savannah dispatch says: The march of Rev. Father Sherman, son of General Sherman, over the route his father took on his famous "march to the sea" has provoked a great deal of adverse comment by the confederate veterans. Captain L. G. Young, president of the local Confederate Veterans' Association, said: "I cannot imagine what possible good such a visit can do, but it may do considerable harm in awakening the memories of one of the most brutal marches ever made. There certainly is nothing to be proud of in Sherman's marching with a large army through a country 'undefended and then to report to his government that he had destroyed more than twice as much property as was necessary for support of his army. Sherman did this without just cause. "Then, again, the government can scarcely understand the temper of our people, since it is deemed necessary for the son of Sherman to have a guard as he advances through the country. Notwithstanding all that has been done, he would find himself as safe in this section as in any other section of the country." General S. F. B. Gillespie, a prominent member of the Grand Army of the Republic, said: "It is outrageous. If the reverend wants to see the ground over which his father went, why doesn't he get a carriage? I can't see how the government came to furnish an escort." Acting Mayor Dixon's opinion was more to the point: "If it were left to me, I'd have him caught and hung before he reached Savannah." PRECAUTIONS TAKEN IN PARIS. May Day Disturbances Anticipated by the Authorities. The eve of May 1 found the authorities at Paris concluding preparations of unprecedented magnitude to guard the city against violence. As a final measure of warring, a large number of arrests were made Monday, principally of organizers of the Confederation of Labor, imperialist sympathizers charged with fomenting insurders, and anarchists of various degrees of prominence. LAST RESPITE FOR RAWLINGS. Date of Hanging Set by Governor Terrell for June 8th. Next. A respite to Friday, June 8, was granted J. G. Rawlings, Milton Rawlings and Jesse Rawlings, father and sons, and to Alf Moore, a negro accomplice, by Governor Terrell of Georgia Tuesday. It is the third and last interference by the governor with the execution of the sentence pronounced upon the three white men and the one negro convicted in Valdosta last August of the midnight assassination of the Carter children. MPERS KICKS Charges That Uncle Sam Violates Eight-Hour Law. HE WRITESTO ROOSEVELT President Had Called for Specifications and These Are Given by Labor Leader—Names, However, Are Withheld. A Washington special says: Charging grievous and frequent violations of the eight-hour law by contractors in charge of government work, and refusal on the part of the responsible officials to take the necessary steps for the enforcement of the law, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, has written an open letter to President Roosevelt presenting charges and specifications. President Roosevelt's letter asking for specifications is cited; as are several letters of acknowledgment of complaints and promises of speedy attention written by the secretary to President Loeb, one in 1903 and another in 1904. Despite the complaints then made on behalf of organized labor, Mr. Gompers declares that "there is not a single case where a violation of the eight-hour law has been rectified by the officers of the government." Mr. Gompers asserts that in case after case the fact of the violation of the law has been admitted by both minor officials and heads of the departments, but all efforts to induce the heads of departments to insist upon the law being obeyed have failed. "An evasive reply was invariably received, and it was found impossible to secure any further attention to the matter," declares Mr. Gompers. "Sometimes the officials would state that the department made it a rule not to interfere with contractors, no matter how many hours they required the men to work. The most usual form of reply was to categorically style government work as being of the 'extraordinary emergency' character." These excuses Mr. Gompers styles flimsy and evasive. He calls attention to the terms of the law which provides that those intrusted with the supervision of government work shall neither require nor permit any violations thereof. The names of complainants are withheld from the copy of Mr. Gompers' letter, which is to appear in the coming issue of the American Federationist, but they have been sent the president in confidence. The president's order that government employee may only present petitions or complaints through heads of their departments is given as the reason for not directly involving the men who have made complaint to labor organizations. "Experience," says Mr. Gompers, "has shown that men in the employ of the government, either directly or indirectly, are apt to be dismissed if they publicly complain of the violation of the law in the conditions of their employment. This is doubly true since the issuance of your order that government employees may only present petitions or complaints through the heads of their departments. In one case cited the contractors admitted working the men ten hours a day, but the engineer officer in charge reported the case to be one of extraordinary emergency. "Somehow," says Mr. Gompers, in commenting on this case, "it did not occur to the government officials that they, if the work was of such a nature requiring more than eight hours a day, double or triple shifts, each shift working eight hours, could be employed, thus observing the terms of that law and fully meeting any emergency which might arise." Under Thirty-One Indictments The grand jury at Chicago returned thirty-one indictments against John A. Cooke, former clerk of the circuit court. The charges embrace forgery, conspiracy, embezzlement of public moneys and withholding of public records. GOLL MUST WEAR STRIPES. Bigelow's Cashier May Soon Join Him in Penitentiary. Henry G. Goll, former assistant cashier of the First National bank of Milwaukee, was found guilty by a jury in the United States district court on nineteen counts out of thirty-four. The verdict was reached by the jury after a session lasting eight hours, and was arrived at about 2 o'clock Sunday morning and presented to the court at 11 a.m. The amount of money which Goll was alleged to have reapplied was about $250,000. SPINNERS AND GROWERS In Joint Meetings at National Capital to Discuss Problems That Confront Each Other. The international conference between the cotton manufacturers and growers began at Washington Tuesday. There were present many representative mill men of the New England and southern states, of the Southern Cotton Association, of the Farmers' Union, and of the British spliners. Harvie Jordan, president of the cotton association, was made vice president of the conference, and Richard Cheatham was made one of the secretaries. Of the first day's addresses Representative Livingston was one of the first speakers on behalf of the cotton growers' interests. This is the first international conference of the growers and cotton manufacturers gathered for a two days' session. Represented at the conference were the following: The American Cotton Manufacturers' Association, the National Association of Manufacturers, the United States census bureau, the department of agriculture, the Southern Cotton Association, the National Association of Manufacturers (formerly the New England Cotton Manufacturers' Association), the National Ginners' Association, the New York and New Orleans cotton exchanges, the International Federation of Master Cotton Spinners and Manufacturers' Association and the Farmers' Educational Co-Operative Union. A permanent organization was effected, the following officers being elected: President—James R. McColl, president of the National Association or Cotton Manufacturers. First Vice President—Harvie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton Association. Second Vice President—R. M. Miller, Jr., president American Cotton Manufacturers' Association. Third Vice President—H. W. McAlister, of the international federation. Secretaries—Richard Cheatham, C. J. Woodbury and C. B. Bryant. President McColl opened the proceedings by a brief address, in which he expressed the view that the meeting would throw much light upon the problems that confront the cotton industry in this country at the same time assist in a better understanding among the representatives of the several Interests. Among these problems he enumerated the question of an ample supply of cotton for the world's needs; the stability of price; speculation; the better handling of cotton: the accuracy of government crop reports. Mr. McColl did not believe that American manufacturers wanted to see a low-priced cotton that was unprofitable to the southern growers, whom he thought were entitled to a fair and ample profit. At the same time he felt that economy should be practiced and improvements made in the growing of cotton in order that the price might be reduced without reducing the margin of profit. Representative Livingston of Georgia took exception to the opening remarks of Mr. McColl and said that they were unfair to the growers of the south. If, he said, the manufacturers would oxplain what it costs to manufacture and if they would say that there seems to be a commercial, financial antagonism between the spinner and producer, the growers would show their hands and tell within a farthing what it costs to make cotton. "But," he said, "I think it will be hard for you to pull that proposition out of this house now." NUMEROUS MAY DAY STRIKES. Majority of Disturbances Confined to Building Trades. In New England. May Day was marked by numerous strikes in New England. The majority of difficulties were confined to the building trades. Strikes of carpenters occurred in Lawrence, Mass., and vicinity and in other places. The Lawrence men, about 1,000 in number, demand an 8-hour day at a wage of $3. DOCTORS AFTER GRAND JURY. County Physicians Demand That Charges Against Them Be Probed. Dr. Everard Richardson and Dr. J. W. Hurt of Atlanta, county physicians, whose immediate discharge for neglect of duty was recommended by the Fulton county grand jury have petitioned the board of county commissioners to grant them an immediate trial. Stromboil Resumes Activity. Advices from Messina state that the volcano of Stromboli, after a period of quiet, is resuming activity and is emitting smoke and solid material. ONLY GUESS WORK Are the Crop Reports Issued By Government. SO DECLARE COTTON MEN Decisive Action Taken by the International Conference at Washington—May Eliminate Middle After denouncing the government crop reports and more particularly the reports of the department of agriculture and passing a resolution strongly advocating that the statistical year should run from August 1 to August 1 instead of from September to September 1, the international cotton conference adjourned at Washington Wednesday to reassemble next year should it be deemed advisable by the various organizations to do so. It was found that the delegates were not clothed with sufficient authority to effect a permanent organization. When the subject of governmental crop reports came up, President MacColl spoke in commendation of the census bureau work, but felt that some radical changes in the methods of the agricultural department should be made. Numerous delegates strongly condemned them. D. A. Tompkins of North Carolina characterized them as "a complicated system of guessing," while another southern grower denounced them as "a speculative football." Various remedies were-suggested, but as no delegates seemed able to agree on a satisfactory plan the whole subject-was laid on the table. President MacColl expressed the hope that henceforth there will be a closer bond of union "between the north and south and between America and Europe in all that pertains to cotton growing and manufacturing." Another topic of discussion was the marketing of the product, which embraced the questions of warehousing, stability of price and relations between growers and manufacturers. A. E. Calvin, president of the Farmers' Educational and Co-Operative Union, declared that it long had been the dream of the cotton grower to abolish all intermediate agents who levy toll unnecessarily on the product on its journey from the field to the factory. The grower, he said, is the constant and persistent foe of all forms and methods of cotton gambling. He declared that the south was so completely able to supply the world with cotton that, with a proper understanding with the manufacturers, there would be no necessity for conducting experiments in Africa and elsewhere. Direct relations between the growers and manufacturers was strongly urged. In the discussion which followed the proposition was laid down by the spinners and manufacturers that if the farmers and business interests of the south will build warehouses, store cotton, finance it and put the product ir charge of expert cotton men to handle it and practically be the medium of doing the selling, they will do business on that basis. The report of the committee on baling, ginning and handling of American cotton was received and adopted unanimously. The report recommended the following: "1. That all bales be made of standard dimensions. "2. That light weight new burlaps be used for bagging, or if conditions justify, that cotton canvas be used. "3. That 10 ties be used on all bales, with the Egyptian style of buckles preferred. "4. That all cotton should be bought and sold net weight. "5. That a committee be appointed whose duty it shall be to have cotton baled as above and to submit the same for practical test to consumers." BEARS HAVE AN INNING. Spectacular Scenes Witnesses on New York Exchange. Not since the Northern Pacific panic of May 9, 1901, has there been such a spectacular decline in prices on the stock exchange as there was at New York Wednesday. Heavy selling, almost regardless of the prices offered, began with the opening of the market and from that time until near the close the tone generally was weak. The day's trading was extremely heavy, rising to the total of 2,445,000 shares. Nearly 700,000 shares of stock changed hands in the first hour STORMS PLAY HAVOC. Northern Texas, Section of Arkansas and Virginia Hard Hit by Heavy Wind and Rain. Extremely heavy rains, destructive winds and lightning caused serious washouts on the railroads and much damage in northern Texas Wednesday day. At Denison forty-eight hours of rain fell, aggregating 5 34 inches. At McKinney and about that city wind and rain destroyed a number of farm houses and injured several people. All wires were put out of business. The storm swept a clean path from Blude Ridge northeast, for eight miles, its track being 200 to 400 yards wide. Dallas and vicinity received a hard rain, flooding basements and underground warehouses of business firms. In the vicinity of Bailey, in Fannin county, twelve houses were blown down. Hits Arkansas. The entire town of Huntington, Ark., was inundated, several buildings were destroyed and all wires blown down in that vicinity by a rain and wind storm Wednesday night. The town of Mansfield also suffered,a warehouse and two smaller buildings being destroyed. It is reported that several fatalities occurred. Crops were badly damaged. At Newport News. A violent wind storm, preceded by a violent electrical display and accompanied by a heavy fall of rain and hall, did considerable damage at Newport News, Va., Wednesday afternoon. Roofs were torn off half a dozen houses, scores of trees were torn up by the roots, innumerable window glasses were smashed and telegraph and telephone systems were deranged and many buildings under construction more or less damaged. Nearly all of the ships in the harbor dragged their anchors. Reports from the country say the orchards, fared badly, and the truckers will lose heavily. Several men were slightly injured at the ship yard by being blown off scaffolding upon which they were at work. POLYGAMY CHARGE STICKS. Majority of Investigating Committee is Against Reed & Smoot A Washington special says: A poll of the senate committee on privileges and elections Wednesday developed that a majority will vote, to sustain the charges against Senator Reed Smoot, but that the full strength of the opposition cannot be held for a report recommending the expulsion of a senator which would require only a majority vote of the senate. In view of this showing, those who believe the charges against the Utah senator were proved, are seeking: an agreement by which a report can be made in favor of unseating Senator Smoot and without taking into consideration the constitutional questions involved. If this is done it would leave to the senate the determination of the question whether a majority or two-thirds vote is required to unseat him. CONSTABULARY UNTERRIFIED. Small Force Enters Mining Town In Face of Dire Threats. A special from Mount Carmel, Pa., states that trouble may break out again at any time, owing to the intense bitterness of the residents toward the constabulary. All the people who were shot during the recent rioting are alive, although several are expected to die. Despite the threats of the citizens that another battle would result if any of the troopers entered the town, four squads made their appearance on the streets early Wednesday. They were all mounted and had their carbines unslung as they rode slowly through the place. Hundreds of persons gazed on them with astonishment, as no one dreamed the constables would venture into town with such a small force. China Becoming Civilized. A Pekin dispatch says: The Chinese board of education, in order to put a stop to the practice of binding women's feet, has issued an order prohibiting the sale of small shoes. COLORED METHODISTS MEET. General Conference of the Church Convenes at Memphis. The general conference of the colored Methodist Episcopal church convened at Memphis, Tenn., Wednesday, with about 400 delegates in attendance. Business of importance to the colored Methodists throughout the south will be transacted at this conference.

MINE OPERATORS ARE FIRM. at Ue re esc Ta SM eee gates | rani yen ee Proposition of Werkers. ~ The anthhracite mine operators tirough their sub-committee of seven at a meeting in New York, drew up a reply to the latest proposition of the mine workers for an adjustment of the existing difference in the an- thracite fields in which they refuse to modify their position heretofore announced. The operators call upon the miners to renew for a period of three years the award of the anthracite strike commission, or else to accept the op- erators’ ,sroposition that the strike commission arbitrate the question as to what changes, if any, shall be made in the scale of wages fixed by the commission in its original award.

Représentative Spencer Blackburn of North Carolina, who was recently aequitted on a charge of receiving fees for legal practica before’ the gov ernment department, was onthusiastt cally welcomed by members of the house on his return Monday. Speaker Cannor, as a special mark of distinc tion, placed Mr. Blackburn {n the chair to preside over the house during the consideration of District of Columbia legislation. | PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO 116 W. St. Julian Street. SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1906. It is understood that agents have been working quietly in many sections of the south, securing a number of our girls to go North as servants. Much advantage is taken of some of these girls and many have gone to ruin in northern cities. Friends of these girls should advise them well before leaving home. THERE is a studied effort on the part of many men of the opposite race to deny us as many privileges as possible. The most recent attempt is to prevent us becoming members of the Elks. The decision given by Judge Felton denying organization in Macon, should be fought and if necessary carried to the highest courts. The Democrats of Savannah along with the two dailies compose one of the "cheekiest" set known. Not content with bossing the affairs of the democratic party, they are now attempting to dictate to the Republicans what should be done along party lines in this section. President Roosevelt is just sufficiently informed along this line to accept their avdice in a way that will not give them the desired comfort. REGENTLY there have been numerous complaints about the manner in which street car men have been treating our people. It is known that the company does not condone its employees in such acts, but these acts will never be stopped unless immediate complaints are made to the proper officials. This should be done in every case, matters not how small the provocation, because if the illtreatment of these brutal men are allowed to continue they will become more embolden and do worse irrespective of person. The attention of the officials is called to the recent occurrence on the A. and B. line. The men who assaulted the passenger should be immediately discharged and prosecuted too for their brutal crime. There was no reason whatever for those men to have done it. If the passenger did anything that was wrong, he should have been arrested and not assaulted. THE following is taken from the New York Tribune. The Judge is to be commended for his excellent views. The Jews objecting to it show much inconsistency: A recent recommendation by ex-Judge A. J. Dittenhoefer that the families of Southern negroes, where the heads of the families have been lynched, should be provided for by popular subscription, has caused considerable comment among Jews of Southern birth in this city. Ex-Judge Dittenhoefer's recommendation came at the recent collection of a fund for the relief of the sufferers by Russian massacres. Oscar S. Straus was the treasurer of the fund, and ex-Judge Dittenhoefer in making his subscription, took occasion in all letter to refer to the negro question. His letter sent to Mr. Straus, was as follows: "With deepest sympathy for the unfortunate people who have been made to suffer such unsuspeakable horrors, I beg to inclose my check for $50, as a contribution to the Fund or the Relief of Sufferers by Russian Massacres. In making this remittance I am impelled to express my regret that no measures have ever been taken for the families of the negroes who after having been saturated with petroleum, were burned to death and lynched in other ways by Southern mobs. And some of the victims of those terrible cruelties were subsequently found to be innocent." The letter of Mr. Dittenhoefer became public after the fund had closed its books, and has caused comment generally as to the recommendations. There are hundreds of Jews in this city of Southern births, and many of them are said to have taken umbrage at the suggestion Ex-Judge Dittethofere, when asked about his Jetter, said: "I don't know how it got out, but it is my opinion." I am of southern birth, but I believe the unfortunate families of the unfortunate victims should be cared for. I cannot help it if Southern Jews do object to my views. I consider them only fair and just, and will urge them whenever I have an opportunity. WHAT of it if Col., Deveaux has served a second term as collector of customs; are there not white men in this state and elsewhere who have served equally as long and been reappointed? Was there any fight on them on this account? This proves that the fight on Col Deveaux is simply on account of the race that he represents. His competency and conduct of office is not being questioned. The President will never be able to make a more deserving appointment. Col. Deveaux has given more and longer years of service to the party than any person in this section. He has worked for the party at times when men of Mr. Cuyler Gordon's party did everything to intimidate Republican vote not alone by ballot box stuffing but by shot gun method. From a standpoint of business and citizenship, Col. Deveaux is more entitled to the position than any of his opponents. This is his home and he has been an important factor in the development of the city and FULLY ABLE to manage his own affairs, hence the excellent condition in which the Custom House since his incumbency. The question of the race that a man represents "cut no figure" with the President but it should be only that of worth and ability; if the latter is considered then there will be no question whatever of Col. Deveaux's reappointment. Masonic Notes. Only about one third of the Lodges have reported on time. Officers of the several Lodges are obligated to obey the regulations, yet in this respect their dereliction is an utter disregard of the obligation assumed. St. John's day is Sunday June 24. Bro. Durham of Dawson, sent us an interesting account of the day observed by Beatrice Chapter, O. E. S., and the able sermon preached. He says that St. Marks Lodge is getting along well and that "billy" is anxiously awaiting the coming of Rev. Duchart on next Friday. Fair Supporters Met at St. John's Baptist Church. A large and enthusiastic mass meeting was held at St John's Baptist Church on Monday night last, in the interest of the Colored State Fair. Prof. L. B. Thompson presided Speeches were made by Rev. J. C. Jackson, Prof. D. C Suggs, Col. J. H. Deveaux, Dr. J. H. Bugg and Pres. R. R. Wright. One hundred and two shares of the capital stock were subscribed for at the meeting. President Wright and Rev. Thomas Visited Augusta, during the past week, in the interest of the Fair. They received subscriptions for several hundred shares. The citizens of Augusta are taking much interest in the enterprise and exhibits representing every phase of their progress will be in evidence at the Fair. Prof. D. C. Suggs will address a mass meeting to be held at the court house in the city of Valdosta, on Saturday May 6 It is expected, that more than 500 shares will be subscribed for at this meeting. The people of the State are in earnest about the Fair and there is no doubt it will be the greatest enterprise ever undertaken by the Colored people of Georgia. For the Sufferers. At a mass meeting held at St. James Tabernacle Monday night last by the colored people for the benefit of the San Francisco sufferers the collection from churches and societies amounted to $37.73. Collection at preyful meeting April 24th, $37.30, making a total of $75.03. This amount was contributed by the following churohes: St James Tabernacle $ 29.80 Second Baptist Church 7 70 Asbury M. E.

Rev. G. W. Williamson preached at 11 a.m., on Sunday. Rev. Williamsons' discourse was to the point and showed how we should perform our duties as servants of God, and as Christians. At 8 p.m. a large congregation was out to hear Rev. Lindsay. As usual every body heard a grand discourse. Whenever Rev. Lindsay preaches saints and sinners are benefited. Mother Notis, one our oldest and most faithful members, was buried from St. Philip church on Wednesday afternoon. She answered the roll on High and has gone to receive her reward. Rev.

Strangers are cordially invited. Ladies Day at the Sunday Club. In spite of the threatening weather there was a good size crowd present on last Sunday at the meeting which was in charge of the Ladies Auxiliary. The President, Mrs. Hutchinson, after some very fitting remarks, introduced Mrs. Harper, who read a very interesting paper in which she portrayed some of the evils surrounding the young people of the city, also made an appeal to the ladies to assist in bringing about a change for the better. Reports showed that the Mother's Clubs organized in several sections of the city are meeting with success. Mrs Hutchinson called attention to the work of women throughout the whole country along this line and made a strong appeal to the women present to volunteer their assistance In the work of the auxiliary. The public at large was thanked cordially for their liberal patronage of the recent entertainments given by the Auxiliary. The ladies ask continued co-operation of the public in their efforts. It is the purpose of the Auxiliary to organize the young girls for some form of active work. Four ladies responded to the call for volunteers to take charge of this feature. At the annual business meeting of the M. B. C., held last Wednesday night, the same officers were re-elected. The reports of the secretary and treasurer showed that the first year of the Club has been a very successful one from every stand point. Next Sunday there will be a special meeting for man only. There will be special musical features and it is hoped that there will be a very large attendance. Several physicians will speak on different important topics. Among those who will take part in the musical program are Messrs. J. Walter Moore, H. O. Ward, L. D. Thompson and Chas. McDowell. There will also be orchestral music. Go out and visit the reading room at 518 Henry street, East, there you will finda choice selection of reading matter on hand. The Club wishes to thank the several parties who have so kindly made donations to this feature of the Club. Any one wishing to contribute to the reading room will please notify Mr. McDowell who will call. Sengstacke—Thomas. On Wednesday night of last week at the residence of Mrs. Sengstacke at Woodville, was the scene of a large gathering. The occasion being a quiet but pretty home wedding. The contracting party being Miss Mamie Sengstacke and Mr. Thomas H. Thomas. The rooms were decorated with vines, evergreen and cut flowers, and a beautiful arch was formed in the door-way between the two rooms under which the bridal party stood. The bride was becomingly attired in a perfect fitting wedding gown of white China silk and carried in her hand a beautiful bouquet of ferns and cut flowers. The mald of honor, Miss Mamie M. Knight, wore a beautiful gown of white silk. Mr. Thomas L. Baker was best man. The bride is the oldest daughter of the late Rev. Nengstacke. She is a graduate of Beach Institute, a trained nurse and also possesses a sweet soprano voice. The groom is one of Macon's prominent young men. He was accompanied from Macon by his sister Mrs. R Taylor, who is one of the teachers at Ballard School. After the ceremony, the bride and groom donned their traveling costumes. The bride wore as a traveling costume, a princess suite of grey mohair. The presents were numerous, handsome and useful. Several presents came from afar, even her aunt in Germany did not fail to send a token of her love. The bridal party left for Macon at 0:45 the same evening. The reception was not held until a very late hour at her home and many of the guests did not remain, but left with the bridal party for the depot. On Thursday night a reception was held in Macon at the residence of the groom's mother. There she met many of her old friends. She reports having received many presents at this reception. Their many friends both here and at Macon wish them a happy wedded life A Hustling Manager. A Hustling Manager. Mr. J. W.

They deserve the full support of the public, especially as they are endeavoring to raise funds to entertain the State Convention in July. Go out and have a jolly time. Successful Bazaar The Spring Bazaar of the First Congregational Church during the week was a decided social and financial success. Its failure was predicted because the gay and glady element was not catered to in the matter of dancing but the prediction fell flat and the church has added to its reputation in sticking to a principle and giving a high class and elevating affair where the sensibilities of the most refined would not be touched. The ladies of the church worked hard for its success and they need much com- mandation. The decorations were admired by everybody and many of the attractions were commended. On last Saturday night Mr. Thomas McCants was brutally assaul ted after getting off of the A and B car. Three cowardly street car men jumped on him with several pieces of iron and gays him terrible blows on the head and other parts of the body. He was taken to his home and immediate attention given him. No crime Mr. McCants could have committed would justify these men to leave their cars and cowardly assault him as they did, especially when it is known that Mr. McCants is small of stature. The assailants were not arrested or molested, but it should not be allowed to remain so; the company is responsible for action of their men and should be proceeded against and the men should be prosecuted for assault and attempt to murder. It is such cases as this wherein our people should bestir themselves and assist in seeing that justice is shown. A Delightful Social. Quite a delightful time was spent at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Davis of Millen, Ga., when a number of guests gathered to enjoy themselves as the social given by Mr. John Davis of Forsyth, Ga., and Miss Stella Bagnell of Sayannab, Ga., in honor of Miss Josephine Bacon of this city, who has been teaching the Oak Grove school in Jenkins County. Many games were indulged in and quite an enjoyable time was spent by those who were present. Refreshments were served at ten o'clock, after which all departed feeling very much delighted. Quite a number of guests were present, among whom were Mrs Huger, Mr. and cMrs. Simmons, Mr Binds, Mr. and Mrs. Davis of Millen Ga., Mr. John Davis of Forsyth, Ga., Mr. Walter Burton, Mr. Leonard Laronett, Mr. and Mrs. Puder. Miss Estella Bagn ll and Josephine Bacon of Savannah, Miss Reynolds and others. Miss Bacon returned home on Thursday last. Her friends are glad to see her. Second Baptist Church. Sunday services were well attended at Second Baptist Church last Sunday. Pastor May though suffering from the effects of a chilp preached at both hours; his morning sermon was styled by the congregation as his best sermon in the city. Collection $37 75.

THE ETERNAL QUESTION Mrs. Sting—What do you want to leave us, for Hedgegift? I'm sure we have treated you as one of the family. Bridget — Indade, en' you hov', ma'am, an' Ol've stood it long enough — Life. In almost sure today that neither either together or even separately, as there any solution of their degradation in the current charitable efforts, The old methods, that is a friendly visiting, of, workrooms, work tests, model lodging houses, whilst in the, early nineties were cagely taken up as a reform movement in the right direction, do not reach the distress of the world's abyss. The insurmountable obstacle that confronts every student of the slim conditions in London, of Paris, or Berlin, or New York, is the physical environment of the poor, half-starved, half-clothed, badly housed people who are born in them and who are of the heredity of such conditions, unfit, not an equal struggle with the world. The slim environment in New York, is not as harsh as in London, but places, for instance, like Mittezza lana, are about equal to the worst conditions in Paris, while the slums of Berlin are not so bad as those of New York. There are two classes in the abyss in all large cities—the self-respecting poets and the degenerate poets. The latter have lost their trip physically and mentally through generations of suffering and neglect. The first class of three unfortunate people work ten fifteen hours a day at anything—sometimes for starvation wages. They are physically weak, or they have lost a leg, an arm or an eye, and that has incapacitated them barely well-paid labor. They will have home Idents; they love their children; they would not beg for the world. But the wages are merely a tantalizing symbol of starvation, and gradually they are exhausted, and sooner or later sink to the bottom of life among the second class—the paupers, the actual dependents. There is a good deal of contentment in this abyss, notwithstanding. Its inhabitants settle down to conditions that are less than than the severe standards of painful labor, honesty and self-respect. If the first class there is a hopeless ambition that things may be better; in the second class there is an absolute surrender to conditions. In this community of workers several thousand human beings are struggling fiercely against want. Day after day, year after year, they toiled with marvellous persistence and perseverance. Oboxious as the smile is, they worked from dawn until nightfall, or from sunset until dawn, like galleys, stays, under the sting of want and under the whim of hunger. Their was a sort of treadmill existence, with no prospect of anything else in life but more treadmill. When they were not given work in the mill they starved and when they drew desperate they came to my office and asked for charity. Here was a mass of men whose ways of living were violently opposed to those of the vagrant or pauper. They were disturring themselves in the struggle to the independent of charity and to overcome poverty. That, they had charities, must be taken without question. The testimony of scores of men—is proof of it, even if indeed, their very lives were hot. But despite all their efforts, the lives in houses but little, if only, better than those of the paupers; they were almost as poorly dressed; they were hardly better felt. In other words, these men, women and children were, to my mind, struggling up the face of a barren predecease, not unlike that up which I didle coiled. Solettiflaws in hope—sometimes in despair, yet bitterly determined; the hobbit of fable/name/bacterium and ravaging foes; beneath them, a tiny ray of hope above them. Fitting before them was the leapover persistently trying to; yet they from their greatest honesty and the charisms of sinuosity, obedience and indulgence. The lip presser, joyful, thrilled, ended to drown them enriched by their labors. And there were with their toil by sensual pleasures, some, were torn from their toothless by eburneal disasters, webbed wrist and thigh to sleep up the fight, and still others were rendered incapable of further struggle until allied resulting from the unnecessary eys of work or of living All. H. W. H. H. Howeer helpful and kind and valuable the works of the charitable and the efforts of those who would raise the spirit of humanity and the gratitude that they deserve. In so far as the work of the charitable is despised to reclamation, and not to prevention, it is a failure. Not that any one could wish that less were done in the direction of reclamation. The feature is important if short or less hardhitting, than in every case, the forces which underline the workers and those who are stronghold against insurmountable difficulties. It is an almost hopeless task to regenerate the degenerate, especially when, if the latter are to succeed, they must be made to take up again the battle, with those, very, destructive forces which are all the time undermining stronger, more capable, and more self-salient men than they. The all necessary work to be done is hot so much to reclaim a class which social forces are ever active, in producing as it is to battle with the social or economic forces which are continuously producing recruits to that class. The forces producing the miseries of painism andragancy are many, but none so important as those conditions of work and of living which are so unjust and degrading that men are driven by them into degeneracy. When the uncertainties hardships, trials, sorrows and miseries of a self-supporting existence become so painful that good, strong, self-fellid men jinti wooden are forced into pain欲ism, then there is but little, use in trying to force the paupers and the fragrants back into the struggle. ( The distinction between the poor and the pitman may be seen everywhere. ) If his妒癖 there is no mental aggrant, they do not work; there is no dread, they live, miserably, but they do not care. "And yet men who will suffer almost anything rather than become paupers are often those who never care to become anything else once they have become dependent on alms. It is deep and terrible, this abyss of the world, and the charitable methods in existence today cannot abolish it." New York World. In learder to Life's philosophy. I have seen a few wretches in my day; but I never one so wittyly lost to decency that he could not be flattered by the friendly attention of a strange dog. There is a great lesson in that. No matter how superior we try to seem to ourselves and others, a small voice within us will not let us wholly forget what humbugs we are. In the presence of our kind we are brazen. The calm gaze of a child sometimes shakes our self confidence; the knowing look of a dog shatters it. There is somewhat in brute psychology that perplexes the intellect of man and disorganizes his intuition. Man is so made that what he cannot understand exercises, greater influence over him than that which he can. In the presence of many phichomena he reveals himself openly and quite unconsciously. He is then no longer master of the fortifications of his soul. He drops his mask—his grtesque outer garb—his brazuan shield falls to the ground, and he either cowardly retreats or succumbs without resistance. There is some hope for the man who is capable of feeling ashamed in the presence of an honorable dog. That man has avenues open to him for advancement. His soul is still fit for expansion. His brain is something more than a dried nut. His heart has not turned entirely into a thing of rubber and vatres. When a strange dog greets him, he thinks better of himself—unconsciously he reacts: "Villain that I am, I am not so bad after all as I might be. You can't fool a dog; and a dog is no hypocrite; therefore, I have good in me, which he recognizes." The follow is a little surprised at himself and not a little nattered. If a noble dog shows him marked favor he becomes stuck up almost immediately. If several dogs should display great preference and affection for his person he would soon become unnumerable to society—quite too vain for association, with men. Contrastwise, should dogs bark at him, generally or perchance should one bit him, he would not feel himself good enough to associate with snakes; but would forthwith get himself looked up as a victim of hysterical rabies; and if he had any pathetic folk at large they would at once insist invincibly that the dog put to death. For my own part, I have learned a great deal from dogs. I if am natural, they set me the example in early childhood. If I am faithful to a friend through his disgrace and disaster, I cannot deny that a dog revealed this nobility of character to me for the first time in my life. If I have gratitude, I saw it first in a dog. If I have enterprise, he did not neglect my early lessons. If I have initiative, so had my first dog friend. If I am infectionate, so was he. If I am patient in adversity and without arrogance, I could not have acquired this pose of mind better than men than dogs. If I am watchful over weakness, intrusted to my care; if I are forgetful of self, in guarding my beloved; if I have the patience on convictions; if I have any hero instincts; if I could have had no bettion, teacher, than me. Indeed, the love of dogs, their association and example—haved my life with joy. *The Cuffins* / / Oriental French, says What to Eat there has been discovered what is the oyster cure for nervousness.

GOOD ROADS was to the capability of the roads treated in this manner. L. will, state that, those, which have built five years ago, are, in as good condition, now as when constructed, and in some instances better. Of course the roads have to be run over occasionally and rapidly, which is unhealthy and easily liable. Some facilities where there is much travel over the roads should holes, pill wedges, in them due to a lack of clay or doing so bore out that particular point, and this is both the most valuable where travel is necessarily greater than in the remote locations of the country. There are young roads in the country, constructed five years ago, that have laid up progress, and are now in their class condition. "We have about four hundred miles of public roads "shine" on the sand-clay method out of a field of about six hundred and fifty miles in the boundary that borders treating perfect "satisfaction," and have stood the tests of hard rails and constant travel. The cost of constructing roads by this method depends, on the amount of grading to be done and the distance the sand or clay has to be applied. The cost of spikes is very slight. "In constructing roads by this method, care must be taken to get the cross-section grade too heavy, as this will have a tendency to cause the sand to clay to wash from the surface of the road." There are very many sections in this country, particularly in the South, vistas and clay are the only available materials suitable for road-building, and in sections where such conditions prevail the appo are do well to follow the most excellent example of Richland County, S. C.—W. P. Tomlinson, Bureau of Public Road Inquiries, Washington, D. C. A good roads meeting was recently held in Buck County, Pennsylvania, in which the townships' records were produced to show that the present amount of money raised by factionation and available for local improvements was more than one-third larger than four years ago, although the tax rate is the same. It was held that, the increase in the value of property, had been brought about solely by the construction of good roadways. It was stated that all roads in the county which shall borrow money to carry on road work found themselves unable to reduce materially, their debt, each year by reason of the increased value of real estate.

With good roads the partners could matter their crops, and conveniately they would have distinguished themselves which would motivate their surplus, and this would require the particular status, on the money market, which naturally have a depressing effect on the busi- ness of the whole country, and result of the antigonal treasury. That good question, we see, is a national as well as local question, and as such it should have the quick attention of themness. Highway improvement for obligation. Two Mischievous Dogs. the other day a man was selling some toy pallets in the street, and had them of a large stitch. Suddenly figured out that all out of his land and was they bounded. "O'neige o'neige, we're playing about dear boy and widow, we saw pretty bad lads, they thought, did themselves? Here's some man, and they went after them, smog's, so it hurt. They sashacked, the string, in their months, and taught not called so hard than, presently, the strangest, the most grinding, green grasses the balloons, and crack—hang! they burst, one after the other. I think those two dogs did the best, right of their lives, then, and that wonderd' what had happened, so spooked that. But after on their master found both about and paid the man whose lads housed them spoted enough mollot to buy a fresh stock, so no very great harm was done after all. How is this, for a subject for a debate for a literary society?

Meet with large insurance formerly scattered it among many companies says World's Work, Mr John Wanamaker, for example, has $1,500,000 insurance, in eighty-five policies. For a long time he carried the largest insurance in the United States. During the past ten years, however, very rich men have taken out large single policies. The first $1,000,000 policy ever issued was held in HI 1887 by Mr. George W. Vanderbilt, at the age of 31, thirty-one years in that Muhammad's a 20-mayment life, 20 years distribution policy, than is, she is to pay a yearly premium of $35,000, for twenty years. At the end of this time, he will receive a paid-up policy, of $1,000,000 and a cash dividend. If the policy had been taken out twenty years ago at the same age, he would have paid by this time the sum of $1,000,000 in premiums, which at 4 per cent, at compound interest would amount to nearly $0,050,000. The most heavily insured man in this world have been, its probably Mr. L. Rodman Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, who carries $2,000,000 in the Mutual, in addition, its insurance in other companies, Mr. Wanamaker first took out his insurance in the Mutual amounting to $200,000 at the age of 24. At 36 as indicated it by two additional policies of $100,000 and $560,000. Five years later, at 41, he took two additional policies, one of $1,000,000 and the other at $200,000. This makes his total insurance in the company $2,000,000, on which he pays a yearly premium of $63,256. The, Wanamaker, family, in Philadelphia, carries a total of $1,555,000 in life insurance, probably more than any other in the world. The largest policies of course, cost not more proportionately than smaller ones, Straight life insurance at $1,000 at the age of thirty costs $20 a year. For the same man, at $500,000 policy of the same kind would cost just five hundred times as much, or $15,000. The largest, single premium ever paid, was $63,023.28 by a man in Los Angeles. It was for an income policy or annuity in the Mutual. It provided a life, income for himself and at his death, life incomes for his children and his six grandchildren. But all nice men do not carry life insurance. Mr. Andrew Carnegie, for example, does not believe in it, and does not carry a single policy. The same is true of Mr. John D. Rocker-feller. Laughter as an Aid to Digestion. Nothing else will take the place of good cheer and laughter at meals or any other time in the home. There is a vital connection between ambiability and digestion—between good cheek and assimilation. Laughter is the best friend the liver has, and depression, for melancholia, its worst enemy. Numerous experiments have shown that mirth, and cheerfulness stimulate the secretion of the gastric juices, and are powerful aids to digestion. Yet, knowing this, many of us sit as gloomy, and labored at the table as a funeral in many homes, scarcely a word is spoken at meals, outside of requests for an article of food. The meal hour ought to mean something besides supplying a more animal function. The bell which calls the family to the table ought to be the signal for a good time, generally, when all carees should be thrown off and everybody appear at his best. It ought to signalize the time for mirth and laughter. It ought to be looked forward to by the members of the family as the recess or nooping is looked forward to by pupils in schools, as a leap from the strenuous life.—Olson Swift Marden, in Success Magazine. FOUND Trained Nurse Discoverer, Not Effect No one is in better position to know the value of food and drink than a trainnurse. Speaking of coffee a nurse of Allikes Barre, Pa., writes: "I used to drink coffee, peanut butter and sufgrated great toast, headache, and indigestion. While on a visit to my brothers I had a good chance, to try Postum Food Coffee for their drunken it altogether in place of ordinary coffee. In two weeks, after using Postum, I found: "I was much benefited and finally my head disappeared at Dumb the indigestion." Naturally, I have since used Postum among my patients and have noticed a marked, benefet where coffee has been left off and Postum used. I observe, curious, fact about Postum used among mothers: I greatly helps the flow of milk in cases where coffee is inclined to dry it up, and where lace causes nervousness." "I third trouble it" getting servants to "make Postum properly." They most al- ways serve it before it has been boiled buff enough. If should be boiled 15 or 10 minutes! and serve with cream, when it is certainly la delicious, beverage. "There's a reason" for Postum.
