VOL. XXI. 300 DROWN Immigrant Vessel Goes to Bottom. WRECKED ON ROCKS Awful and Pitiful Scenes Occurred as Unfortunate Men, Women and Children Met Their Doom. A special from. Cartagena, Spain, says: A terrible marine disaster occurred Saturday evening off Cape Palos. The Italian steamship Sirio, from Genoa for Barcelona, Cadiz, Montevideo, and Buenos Ayres, with about eight hundred persons on board, was wrecked off Hormigas Island. Three hundred immigrants, most of them Italian and Spanlards, were drowned. The captain of the steamer committed suicide. The remainder of the passengers and the officers and crew got away in the ship's boats or were rescued by means of boats sent to them from the shore. A number of fishermen, who made attempts at rescue, were drowned. Those rescued from the vessel are now at Cape Palos in a pititable condition, being without food or clothing. The Sirio struck a rocky reef known as Bajor Hormigas and sank soon after, stern first. Hormigas' Island lies about 2 12 miles to the eastward of Cape Palos. Before he committed suicide, the captain declared the steamer had 645 passengers on board and that her crew numbered 127 men. The Sirio had 570 passengers when leaving Genoa, but additional Spanish passengers were taken on board at Barcelona, where the vessel touched a few hours before. The disaster occurred at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The steamer was threading a difficult passage through the Hormigas group, where the Bajos Hormigas reef is a continual menace to navigation. The vessel began to settle rapidly immediately she had struck and a terrible scene of confusion and panic ensued on board. The fishermen along the coast sought to render every assistance in their power and set out in boats, which brought many survivors ashore. Most of the officers and crew of the Sirio are among the saved. The condition of the survivors is most deplorable. They have lost everything and are, without money, food or clothing. The maritime authorities of Cartagena have dispatched a tug to the scene carrying relief supplies. The buildings of a circus and the poorhouse are being used as temporary quarters for the survivors. From the broken narratives of the terror-stricken survivors it would appear that it was the intention of the captain of the Sirlo, leaving Barcelona, to call at Cadiz before proceeding to Brazil. The captain, in order to shorten the route and gain time, purposed to pass as close as possible to the dangerous rocky ledges surrounding the Hormigas Islands. Without any warning and while running at full speed the Sirio crashed upon the rocks with terrific force. A few minutes later the storm of the vessel sank beneath the waves. The passengers were in a state of horror and panic. Crowds rushed forward, pushing each other and fighting for places in the bow of the boat. Many fell and were trampled to death. Dozens of men and women threw themselves into the sea. SHIP IS FEVER.LADEN. Steamer Held in Indefinite Quarantine on the Mississippi. A New Orleans special says: The steamer Whitehall, from Colon, has been declared a menace to the health of all ports, and orders were given by the state board of health to hold her Indefinitely at Mississippi quarantine station. The Whitehall has one of the worst fever epidemics on shipboard in the records of tropical shiping, having arrived off New Orleans with an outbreak of Chagres fever. The Savannah Tribune. HOT WAVE KILLS SCORES New York Hospital and Police Ambulances Filled With Dead and Dying—Other Cities Suffer. New York and its environments sweltered Monday far into the night, for it was the hottest day of the year so far. Upwards of twenty persons in the city alone died from the heat and hospital and police ambulances were kept more than busy, so numerous were the cases of prostration. These numbered scores. The government thermometer registered 92 degrees at its highest during the afternoon, which is a record for the year. But it was much hotter in the streets and some thermometers recorded as high as 102 degrees. The humidity was excessive. Thousands of tenement house-dwellers could not endure to stay in their crowded homes and deserted them for the time being for the city parks and the seashore, where they slept Monday night in the open. The curb brokers in Broad street were obliged to suspend business because of the fierceness of the sun's rays. At Washington up to 2 p. m., no diminution in the intensity of the heat wave was noticeable. At that hour the weather bureau reported the temperature as 92 and the humidity as 53. On the street the temperature at 2 o'clock was 193. Only two cases of heat prostration had been reported at that time. At Philadelphia the extreme heat of Sunday and Monday has caused three deaths and a number of prostrations. The government thermometer on the poetoffice building at one o'clock p. m. registered 93. BIG CHICAGO BANK CLOSED. Officials Wrecked Institution—Shock Caused Death of Two Protestors Caused Death of Two Depositors With a deficit in its accounts estimated to reach close to $1,000,000, and the whereabouts of two of its highest officials unknown to the authorities, the Milwaukee Avenue State Bank, one of the largest outlying banks in the city of Chicago, was closed Monday by State Bank Examiner C. C. Jones. In the excitement following the announcement of the failure, J. G. Wisser, an official of the Royal League, who had on deposit in the bank the funds of that organization, fell dead of heart failure. Henry Koepke, a small grocer, and a regular depositor, on hearing that the bank had suspended payment, went to the rear of his store and shot himself. Riotous scenes attended the announcement of the failure, and a large force of police struggled all day to keep an excited crowd of depositors—nearly all of them foreigners and many of them women—from rushing the doors of the institution. The fact that the bank was on the verge of failure was first revealed by President Paul O. Steensland, one of the absent officials. A letter to his son, Theodore, who is vice president, written from St. Paul, and received Saturday, started the investigation, which brought about the suspension. Another sensational feature of the affair was the disappearance of the cashier, Henry W. flerring, and the issuing of a warrant for his arrest on a charge of embezzlement. Many persons burst into tears when they found that their savings were endangered or lost. CHINK8 PROVE A FAILURE. While Willing Workers, Turpentine Labor is Too Hard for Them. After having tried the experiment of substituting Chinamen for-negroes in the naval stores, C. W. Chase, millionaire phosphate miner and naval stores operator of Gainesville, Fla., has decided that it is not a success, and has arranged to ship the forty-eight! Chinamen back to Portland, Ore, where he secured them three months ago. It is, said the experiment cost Mr. Chase $10,000. The Chinamen were willing workers, but were not physically able to stand the hard labor. CANDIDATE UNDER ARREST. Interrupted Speaking at Campaign Meeting in Palmetto State. Meeting in Palm Beach A. C. Jones, candidate for governor, was arrested at the state campaign meeting at Chester, S. C., Tuesday, by orders of Mayor Hardin, who was seated on the platform. Jones had made his speech along with the other candidates for governor. When J. Fraser Lyon, candidate for attorney general, was delivering his speech, Jones interrupted him with a question. Lyon replied with a question. Jones then demanded to be heard, the chairman refused the demand, Jones persisted, SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 11. 1906. BIG FLOOD IN TEXAS Takes Many Lives and Does Enormous Damage. TOWNS ARE DESOLATED Tremendous Rainfall Causes Colorado River and Other Streams to Overflow—Reports Meagre, Owing to Break in Communication. Ten lives were lost, 10,000 cattle killed, property worth millions destroyed, and thousands of persons rendered homeless as the result of a flood in south Texas Tuesday, when the Colorado river was forced out of its banks by heavy rains. It is believed that this is the worst disaster since the Galveston flood visited Texas several years ago. Relief trains are cut off, telegraph and telephone wires are down and the fate of the inhabitants of several isolated towns is as yet unknown. The food on the Colorado came without warning and inhabitants at San Angelo and Ballinger were forced to flee for safety in their night clothing. An entire family at Ballinger named Cook were drowned as they attempted to leave their homes on an improvised raft which struck an obstruction. The river is from four to six miles wide in places and the tributaries south are out of their banks. The Santa Fe track bridges were washed out and traffic is at a standstill. At Brownwood five hundred people are homeless. Tuesday night the water was standing at the high water mark of 1900. A strip thirty miles long and from two to four miles wide is covered with from three to ten feet of water. Railway tracks have been washed out for miles. Telegraph and phone wires are down and many lives are reported lost. Twelve inches of rain fell over the southern section of the state Tuesday night, causing all rivers to overflow their banks. Hearttrending scenes were witnessed in towns where lost children were hunging parents. Reports from the country say the loss of life and damage are great. Amarillo, Texas, in the Pan Handle, reports a severe electrical storm and has news that Canyon City, a small town, was wiped out by a tornado and several people killed. The family of a farmer named Riggs, residing four miles south of the town, were killed by lightning. It is impossible to get even an approximate estimate of the crop damage, but it is believed the loss will reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. A terrific rain, almost equal to a cloudburst, fell in the section about Ardmore, I. T., Tuesday night and Wednesday. All streams are out of their banks and the lowlands are flooded. A portion of the Santa Fe north of Paoll has been washed away and the Erisco bridge, near Francis, is reported washed out. All trains are running behind scheduled time. The Canadian and Wichita rivers are the highest in years. RECEIVER TAKES CHARGE Of Wrecked Chicago Bank—Vice Press Ident of Institution Arrested. Theodore Stensland, vice president of the wrecked Milwaukee Avenue State Bank at Chicago, was arrested Tuesday afternoon on a charge of violating the banking laws of the state. Earlier in the day the institution was placed in the hands of a receiver and Paul Stensland, president of the bank, and father of the vice president, together with Cashier Hering, were officially declared fugitives from justice and their personal descriptions placed in the hands of the police throughout the country. Besides the discovery of many irregularities in the management of the bank, it was also found that even the safety deposit boxes, owned and rented by the bank, had been tampered with and riffed. TWELVE YEARS FOR EX-MAYOR. William Belcher Given Long Prison Term for Embrilllement. William H. Belcher, who, while mayor of Paterson, N. J., absconded a year ago and who surrendered himself several days ago, was sentenced on Friday to twelve years' imprisonment in the state prison at Trenton on a charge of embezzlement. Belcher was alleged to have embezzled from $100,000 to $150,000 from personal friends and from the Manchester Building and Loan Association, which was forced to suspend business. WITNESSES ARE JAILED Parties Wanted to Testify In Lumber Camp Peonage Case Are Detained by Order of Court at Pensacola. Because of the fact that one of the most important witnesses has suddenly disappeared from Pensacola, and that overtures by unknown parties to others to leave for New York and not appear in the now famous Jackson Lumber company cases, every witness who is not a resident of Florida and well known to the United States commissioner has been placed in the local jail in default of bond, where all will be held until the case comes up for trial at the next term of the United States court. Harry Lambert, who testified a few days ago that he had twice been horsewhipped, after being caught with bloodhounds, and who exhibited welts and scars, which, he claimed, had been inflicted by the bosses, has disappeared. When wanted to again testify he could not be found and a search revealed the fact that he was not in Pensacola. Other witnesses stated that they had been approached by unknown parties speaking foreign tongues with propositions not to stop at Pensacola and testify, but to go on to New York, and if they would do so money for their fare would be given them. A Birmingham dispatch says: Emil Lesser, president of the German Immigration Society of Alabama, has returned from Lockhart, where he has been for several days investigating the charges of peonage in the camp of the Jackson Lumber company at that place. Mr. Lesser has prepared a report, which will be submitted to Governor Jelks, in which he says that there is no trace of peonage at the camp. His report says in part: "I, have interviewed nearly a hundred laborers and have not found a single person who could or would make any complaint about peonage or cruel treatment. All the men I spoke to stated they could leave if they wished. If peonage has existed at Lockhart, then all traces of it had been removed before my coming. The German vice consul at Pensacola authorizes me to say officially and positively that the statements as to complaints being made to him by Germans escaping from these camps are absolutely false." TROOPS TO PROTECT NEGROES. Governor Beckham Calls Out Two Companies of Kentucky Guards. The Frankfort and Barbourville (Kentucky) companies of the state guard were ordered by Governor Beckham to go on duty at Barbourville to protect during their trial the negro man and woman charged with the murder of Mrs. Broughton. The negroes are now in jail at Stanford, and troops will proceed to that place and accompany them to the scene of the crime and trial. This is owing to fears that an attempt to lynch the negroes who committed the crime to secure $40 will be made, ARRESTED THE WRONG MAN. English Lord Now Demands Apology from Portland Officers. Instead of having in custody an American bigamist known as "Lord Douglass," wanted by the authorities of many states, as was at first supposed, the police at Portland, Maine, have detained Lord Sholto Douglass, third son of the late Marquis of Queensberry. Lord Douglass says he wants to avoid further notoriously and will be satisfied with verbal apologies from the sheerinf and police. The consular authorities await the apologies and the matter may become a subject of international inquiry. COMMERCIAL CONGRESS. Is Called to Meet in Kansas City November 20-23, Next. The official call for the seventeenth annual session of the trans-Mississippi Commercial congress, to meet in Kansas City, Mo., November 20, 21, 22 and 23 next, has been issued. OLD DEBT REPUDIATED. Georgia House Kills Mattingly. Bond Bill by Decisive Vote. A feature in the Georgia legislature Tuesday was the emphatic disapproval of the house of the bill to pay the Mattingly bonds, given as part payment of certain arms purchased from the Sharpe Rife company of Hartford, Conn., by the late Governor Joseph E. Brown, November 14, 1860. This was the fourth demand the holders of these bonds have made upon the state for their payment, and each time heretofore the claim did not get to the house for a vote MOB STOPS TRIAL Three Negroes Taken From Jail, Hanged and Riddled. MILITARY IS INEFFECTIVE Victims Had Just Been Arraigned at Sallisbury, N. C., Charged With Murder of Lyerly Family. Other Suspects Unmolested. A mob of 3,000 determined men shortly before 11 o'clock Monday night, forebly entered Rowan county jail at Sallisbury, N. C., removed therefrom three of the five negroes charged with the murder of the Lyerly family, at Barber Junction, July 13, an lynched them. The mob began gathering at sun-down. Mayor Boyden promptly ordered the saloons closed and, with other prominent citizens, United States Senator Owerman, Judge Long, who was holding the special term of court to try the negroes, and Solicitor Hammer, gathered on the fall steps and addressed the crowd, which at that time numbered 2,000. There were howls and cat calls from the mob, but for a time there was no move—the mob lacking a leader. While citizens were appealing to the mob, two men slipped through the crowd and were entering the fall with hammers. They were discovered and arrested. The mob continued its yelling, but there was still no concerted move. About 9 o'clock, Mayor Boyden, called upon the local military company, the Rowan Rifles, for aid. They assembled quickly, but were supplied only with, blank carcidges, having no orders to shoot to kill. Fireman McLendon of Charlotte, a Southern railway employee, was shot in the stomach by a bullet said to have been fired by a member of the mob. He was fatally wounded. Will Troutman, a negro drayman, was also seriously shot at about the same time. Both are said to have been accidents, occasioned by some of the few wild shots fired by members of the mob, with the evident intention of frightening citizens. At 10 o'clock there was a stir in the mob—it was augmented by fully five hundred men, who came, it is said, from Whitney, where the Whitney Reduction company is developing the Yadkin water power. It was but a few minutes after their arrival, when a crowd of fifty, forming a sort of flying wedge, made a break for the jail doors, overpowered the officers, and effected an entrance. The great crowd outside surged in behind the leaders, and in a few minutes more emerged from the door with their victims. The negroes were marched northward toward Spencer, but a halt was made at Henderson's ball grounds in the edge of town. There the negroes were given time to confess the crime. They refused to either deny or confess and were so thoroughly frightened as almost to have lost the power of speech. John Gilesphe wept piteously and begged for his life. Tiring of its efforts to secure statements from the negroes, at midnight the ropes were quickly brought forward and adjusted and the three were strung up to the limbs of one tree and with howls and curses the crowd riddled the dangling bodies with bullets. Governor Glenn was at 11:10 o'clock Monday night told of the mob by Judge Long over the telephone. He at once wired orders to the military companies at Charlotte, Greensboro and Statesville to arry by special trains to Salisbury. Finding these were too late he countermanded the orders. He states that some time ago he offered the sheriff the service of the militia, but the offer was declined as unnecessary. He declare the lynching a blot on the state, and says he will at once free steps to discover and bring to justice the guilty parties. PURE FOOD BILL PASSED. The Georgia house of representatives passed a pure food bill Monday, framed in accordance with the act recently passed by the national congress. This bill provides for the prevention of the adulteration, misbranding and imitation of foods for man or beast, of beverages, candies and condiments, of medicines, drugs and liquors or their manufacture and sale in the state of Georgia. MOB LEADER IS JAILED. Troops Guard Jail at Salisbury from Whence Three Negroes Were Taken and Lynched. Tuesday night three companies of the North Carolina National Guard, one command from Statesville, a company of infantry and a battery of artillery from Charlotte, surrounded the Jail at Salisbury, N. C., while sentries with loaded guns and orders to shoot to kill, patroled the four streets that flank the prison. There had been threats and rumors of threats all day and far into the night, but there was no demonstration. George Hall, an ex-covict from Montgomery county, who is supposed to have led the mob which lynched the three negroes, alleged murderers of the Lyerly family, Monday night is in the jail. The plan to rescue him from the clutches of the law, remors of which caused Governor Glenn to hurry troops to Salisbury, did not materialize. The surviving negroes—Henry Lee, George Ervin and two women—are safe in the jail at Charlotte, and there is no danger of violence to them. The special term of court which had been convened to try the victims of mob vengeance, acting under orders from the governor, will not adjourn until every effort to convict the leaders of the mob has been exhausted. The case is being worked up and many arrests are expected. The governor is determined to push the matter to the bitter end. The cases against the surviving defendants, against whom true bills were found, were continued until the regular term of Rowan court. Long before the sun rose Tuesday morning, persons went to the scene of the lynching and cut off the toes, the fingers and the ears of the negroes who were hung to the limb of the big tree on Henderson's baseball grounds. When the court was convened Tuesday morning there was a slight distinction in the crowd, though every seat was taken. The first thing announced by Judge Long was a continuance of the caso until the regular term. Solicitor Hammer made the motion and in doing so said the remaining prisoners had been taken to the Mecklenburg county jail and the summoning of the special venire stopped. Judge Long replied that he would make the order. He then turned to the crowd and in a clear, slow voice, full of feeling, spoke to the people, deploring the events of the day before, and stating his determination to fully investigate the matter. NEGRO Y. P. CONGRESS. Officers for Next Four Years Elected by Board of Directora. A Washington dispatch says: After an all-day session the national board of directors of the Negro Young People's Congress elected the following officers for the next four years: President, Bishop George W. Clinton of North Carolina; vice president, Rev. J. W. E. Bowen of Atlanta, Ga.; corresponding secretary, P. J. Bryan, of Atlanta, Ga.; treasurer, Bishop R. S. Williams of Augusta, Ga.; financial secretary, Professor John R. Hawkins, of Kittrel, N. C.; statistical secretary, Professor Kelly Miller, Washington, D. C. In the course of a brief address on the Afro-American council, Bishop Walters explained its work and said that in order to secure civil and political rights the negro must go into the courts and fight the question out. Speaking of the work of the congress itself, Rev. Coggins of Covington, Ga., declared that the universal hunger and great need of the negro race today was for "a better understanding of our moral relations to one another, of what we are and mean to be, and a better appreciation of the responsibilities resting upon us." Separation of the two races, he said, had done the negro incalculable injury, "and our enemies have taken advantage of this unfortunate circumstance to retard our political progress." Japanese Battleship Raised. It is reported from Sasebo, Japan, that after repeated failures the battleship Milsaka, which sank last September, was successfully floated Tuesday. The Milsaka sank after an explosion on board. Alabama's First Bale. The first bale of new cotton in Alabama was received at Montgomery on Tuesday, two days behind 1905. It was raised by P. M.

The Lust For Wealth. A Plea For The Retirement of Every Man. Who Has Enough For Ease and Dignity. By A. V. N reference to Bishop Potter's remark, in an interview upon his return from abroad, that the insurance scandal is viewed in England as emphasizing American greed, it cannot be denied that this view is in a great measure justified; for there can be no question that the effect of this insatiable greed for wealth tends to promote no degree of respect for our country beyond that which gold alone commands. The effect at home is N reference to Bishop Potter's remark, in an interview upon his return from abroad, that the insurance scandal is viewed in England as emphasizing American greed, it cannot be denied that this view is in a great measure justified; for there can be no question that the effect of this insatiable greed for wealth tends to promote no degree of respect for our country beyond that which gold alone commands. The effect at home is certainly not beneficial, inasmuch as the increasing wealth of those who are contributing to this condition deprives some of their fellow beings of the benefits to be derived from the ever increasing surplus. Far better if all Americans would follow the custom of their English brethren, who, having amassed a fortune which if invested, say, in the conservative 4 per cents, insures an income to warrant their retirement, quit the field of commerce, travel and finally settle upon an estate in the country. There they find time to gratify their desires for literary and other pursuits. Why not revert to the ideal existence of the only true aristocracy this country has ever known, that of the South before the civil war; an aristocracy the process of whose extinction furnishes one of the saddest memories of that war? Surely any one who has read the existing literature of that brave people cannot have failed to recognize the absence of any desire to acquire more wealth than was necessary to uphold the spirit of respectability and hospitality which pervaded the very atmosphere as with the spirit of contentment. The effect of greed upon the morals of the community is the chief object of my discourse, but a still greater evil from the same source is that which concerns our political welfare, this has been made very apparent by the position of dishonor today of some who but yesterday were respected men both in the world of politics and commerce.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 1. ..... 6. A MEETING of the State Central Committee will be held the latter part of the month to consider the putting out of a State ticket This is favored by many and undoubtedly it will be done. The one hundredth anniversary of John Brown's birth will be celebrated at Harpers' Ferry, W. V., Aug. 17, by the Niagara Movement. His memory will ever be cherished by those who love human liberty. SAVANNAH should be well represented at the meeting of the National Business League in Atlanta. We have a large number of business men, and at least one third of them should attend. THE colored citizens should arise en masse and protest against the action of the police who are making indiscriminate arrests for vagrancy. If it is allowed to be continued it would be unsafe for a colored man to stand on the corner to wait for a car. The second annual meeting of the Niagara Movement will be held at Storer's College, Harper's Ferry W. V., August 15 19. The one hundredth anniversary of John Brown's birthday will also be observed. Sufficient accommodation have been arranged for and can be a oured accordingly. THE attention of the police authority is called to the action of a crowd white boys who congregate in the park and the grand stand in the extension on Sundays. It is a matter of impossibility for a colored person, especially for a female to pass this stand without being insulted. They are hooted at and humiliating epithets are hurld at them. It is a wonder that serious trouble has not occurred on account of the bad boys. The police are called upon to give protection in this respect. By request, a bill has been introduced in the legislature prohibiting colored men from wearing the emblems of the Elks, Eagles, K. of P., Odd-Fellows and Masons. The only way that this despicable bill would become a law is for it to be lobied through, and it would be one of the most unconstitutional acts every enacted in Georgia. In touching the Masons and Odd Fellows, the authors of the bill will receive shocks that will be mighty servere on their prejudice.alksouls. In a speech before the Negro Educational Congress which met in Washington last week. Secretary Bonapart, of the Navy said, "The Negro must work and make progress or be pushed to the wall and then crushed against it, as were the Indians." The Boston Transcript asks: "Is that not also true of the white man?" THE New York Age says of th. Colored State Fair "Some of the best and strongest Afro-Americans of Georgia are officers of the Association. With the strong constituency they have to rely upon to make the Fair a creditable and successful one, it is difficult to see other than great advantage to result from it. THE N gro Christian Congress is now a matter of history. It is hard to say just now how much good the Congress accomplished. There is divergence of opinion on this point, due perhaps to unsat sfactory internal workings, but time will tell. Several addresses were made while on the other hand some were "Cut and dry." However, the success of the Congress depends on whether those in attendance went away with a strong determination to put in practice the helpful suggestions gained there. IN The Atlanta Georgian of August 4, Editor John Temple Graves d scusses at length the outlook for the American Negro. It is well known that Mr. Graves has advocated for many years, the doctrine of separation. The scheme involved is as ancient as the hills, and could be advocated as a conclusive treatment of race problems anywhere under the sun. There was a time in the history of mankind, races possessed a stronger nomadic tendency than they have to-day; and whenever two races living in close proximity failed to enjoy a peaceable and common existence, separation proved solution. But a Christian civilization has destroyed the feasible feature of this plan, hence it is not practical to day. Even the editor of The Georgian admits it is not, although he says that it is a weak and cowardly confession unworthy of the white race. Mr. Graves declares that he is a "far seeing and loyal friend of the Negro race;" if so, then his interest should impel him to discuss the issue at hand in a way that would be more helpful to both races, for it is agreed that the Negro race will dwell in this country for many years yet to come. His whole argument is based on the inherent inferiority of the Negro, and he claims that it is unanswerable. Why? Because he assumes the truth of an unsupported assumption. Grant his premise, and you grant the desired conclusion, for they are one and the same thing. Mr. Graves' kind and affectionate treatment of his servants does not necessarily prove that he is a loyal friend of the race. He owes it to himself and humanity to treat his employees with kindness, and have some regard for their welfare. It is one thing to "love" one's servants, but quite another to be a friend of the race. We refuse to believe in a friendship that would 'reduce the Negro by disfranchisement and by law to that position of recognized inferiority which will restrain and curb his aspirations.' This sentiment is selfish and unchristian, and altogether too radical in its purpose. Colonization is an idle dream, and therant about racial inferiority, social equality, sete, is a bug a boo. The white race is responsible for the Negro's presence in this country, and it is wealthy to-day as a result of the Negro's incessant toil. We believe that the editor of the Georgian could be a much more helpful friend to the Negro race if he would drop his separat on scheme for a season, and advocate that the Negro be treated as a man and a citizen, and that a premium be placed not on color but rather on decency, intelligence and thrift. Dr. Carr's Card. EDITOR SAVANNAH TRIBUCE:—In your issue of the 4th inst., appeared a card from Rev. Wm. Gray, stating that he desired to "Correct a misunderstanding between himself and I." When I saw his card I would not have been much more surprised, to have heard a clap of thunder from a clear sky. I did not know nor had I heard of such "a misunderstanding." I am willing however to let the intelligent and scientific public pass on the whole affair, after I shall state my position in the premises, Read Rev. Gray's card, He said, "He (Rev. Carr) came to our church and said as I was vice president of the Minister's Union that he would desire me to preside over some affairs between him and Rev. C. T. Walker, at the Park, he did not designate Lincoln Park." He admits as you see that I wanted him to "preside over some affairs at the Park, but said I did not designate Lincoln Park," and in the next sentence he says he has nothing against Lincoln Park. That sounds very strange. It seems to me that if he had anything against any park or hall he ought to have spoken then. What seems to be worse still, Rev. Gray announced the lecture at the Park, and asked his people "would not be nice?" and they heartily responded "yes." More than two of his people heard this statement. Before I said anything to his people, I invited Rev. Gray as he said to preside at the lecture, and I distinctly stated that the lecture would be in Lincoln Park and he accepted. It was not necessary to give the name of the Park, as Rev Gray had "nothing against Lincoln Park." He further states that he "would like to go know things knowingly so he can accept or reject." Now who could conclude the above statement and conclude that he did not know anything about this affair? After our consultation as his card shows, he said I went further and put his name on bills without his consent." I regret this exceedingly and would not have done so, if I had known the Rev, rejected in the least. I did not know that Rev. Gray had any antipathy against going to lectures in Park or a hall, until I saw his card. If he had once intimidated his disapproval, I would not have used his name. If he was not satisfied after the announcement of the lecture, he ought to have told me, and we could have adjusted our misunderstanding without going before the public, for a public newspaper controversy does not result in much good. We both have telephones, but I have heard nothing from him since I was at his church until I saw his card. I have always tried to avoid newspaper controversy, but when I am pulled into it without consultation or consent, "I want the world to know," that I will defend myself. Let me say the lecture at Lincoln Park on the 6th, inst, was one of the grandest that was ever heard in Savannah. Dr. Walker seemed to have eclipsed all other efforts. He was simply at his test, B between 1,000 and 1,200 people hard him. We did not mans any one that did not want to go. Seven ministers were present. Mr. E. W. Houston made a fine talk proceeding Dr. Walker's lecture. We had much better order than I have seek in some churches. Of course that obnoxious crowd that go to the Park on Sundays was conspicuously absent. Special Notice To working men of Savannah, Dr Brockett, the pastor of St. James, will inaugurate a movement on Sunday night to secure a just and clear interpretation of vagrancy, and the vagrant law. All loyal race men, are expected to be present. Washington News. Washington News. The Racket and Mallet Tennis Club of Washington, D. C., gave an exhibition tennis match for their guest, Mr. M. W.

H. Brown, subject, "Does the Bible authorize sinners to pray." The paper showed that it had profound study. It was well delivered and very interesting. It was endorsed by the union. A paper also was read by Rev. D. W. Cannon, subject, "Is simple confession in Christ Salvation." Rev. Cannon in his scholarly way proved him self master of the situation His paper was also endorsed by the union. Our own time was given to the reading of papers. Next Monday August 13th all the ministers of the city will meet to discuss the question of inviting the National Convention of United States to convene in our city 1907. A Sacred Social at Arlington, Va. There was a sacred social by Messrs. Paris H. Pollard and John A. Dunnmore in honor of Mr. Moses W. Bryan, Sunday evening, August 5th.

Syphax, Mrs. Marion Branham of Ga.; Mr. Branham, of Va.; Mrs. Thompson, Va.; Mr. Palmer, Sr. Md.; Mr. Wm Plummer, Jr., Miss Manje Jordon, Ga.; Miss Sarah E.

Unlo. B. ptist Church. Unio Baptist Church. The services of Union Baptist Church, Charles street, were conducted on last Sunday by the Pastor, Rev, H. L. Haywood. Prayer meeting at 6 o'clock was largely attended. At 11 p.m., preaching by the pastor, subject, "One Thing." This discourse was delivered with much eloquence. The services were largely attended. The Holy Spirit was greatly manifested. Sunday School at 3 p.m. conducted by the superintendent, Dea, E. swangin. At 4 p.m., the Lord's supper was administered. The pastor was assisted by visiting pastors of the city. At 8 p.m., preaching by the pastor whose subject was "The man of courage." The congregation was benefited. The pastor always tries to bring something to his people to interest them and help them think on their way. At 4 o'clock Monday afternoon the House to House Missionary Society met at the church and held a very pleasant meeting. On Monday evening the B. Y. P. U met in their regular services which were interesting. Not one left without speaking a word for Jesus. On next Monday night we will meet at the usual hour. We expect to make the meeting more interesting and will also render a program. During last week the pastor was out of the city, assisting Rev. Powell of Statesboro, Ga., in a protracted meeting. On next Sunday morning the pastor will preach upon the subject "The Higher Lite." On Sunday evening, upon the subject, "The Good Shepherd." Excellent music will be rendered by the choir. The public is cordially invited to attend. On August 27th our church will give its last excursion to Beaufort S. C. We anticipate a pleasant time. All our friends are invited to go with us St. Philips Dots. Rev. Lindsay preached on Sunday morning and evening and a large congregation was out to hear him. His popularity as a pulpist orator is growing every day, the increased attendance is evidence of the fact. At 11 a. m. two adults and one child were baptized. Quite a change have been made in time for holding the Georgia Conference this year it will convene in October instead of December as heretocre. So our members will have only two months to pay their conference claims. For fear that some of our members may not have their envelope you can get them from Rev Lindsay or their class leader. The following service will be held on to-morrow; Prayer meeting at 5:30 a. m., Preaching it a. m., Sunday School at 3 p. m., Alten League at 5 p. m. and preaching at 8:30 p. m. Second Baptist Church. Services were good during the whole week. Rev. May and his wife were in Jacksonville, Fl., Sunday. Rev. Yancy preached two acceptable sermons here. Rev. W. W. Warthen is a useful and intelligent young man and is being felt for good in the church. He is being instructed in the regular pastor's course of study by Dr. May and making such progress as can be seen by the church Dr. May has selected him to be his assistant. Sunday's collection $16.75, the pastor's absence accounts for the smallness of the collection. The conference meeting Monday night, which was one of the most important in the church history, was qui t peaceable and the very best spirit prevailed from start to finish. The election of deacons was completed. The newly elected deacons are A. Ranail, W. H Lazenby, Daniel Holloway, A. I. Washington, D. W. Osborne, W. S. Roundeford and P. H. Noble, Deacon L. A. Mack reported $10.00 to the church as a partial report. The pastor was elected delegate to the National Baptist Convention at Memphis, Tennessee. Every member of the church is requested to give to cents extra to-morrow to pay the Pastor's fare to the Convention. Rev. May will preach at both hours to-morrow. Morning subject. "Hell not a place of real fire." The public is invited. Every member is requested to be at communion to-morrow without fail. A number are on the sick list this week. Bad Affair at Eastman.

Mitral of die Sharan? During the last year it isstated on au- thority that over 25,00) automobiles for travel and hauling have been sold and ‘gone into use, The prediction of the manufacturers of these power wagons and carriages for several years has been “the passing of the horse,” while jin fact we really See dally the horse “passing” everywhere more frequently than ever, and the cry Is there are not enough horses to supply the demand, As we have said several times befora, the power vehicle, like all other ad- vancing movements, came to supply the demand for more rapid movements, just as the steam railway came to facil itate morg rapid transport than the stage afforded, and like the electric roads to accellerate hourly demands for travel which steam trains two or three times a day did not supply. The stage, indeed, has “passed,” but the horse supplies a place and ‘demand neither steam uor electric roads can’t, for they go with thelr burdens “across lots” as it were, or on roads and in fields where there are neither tracks nor other possibilities for travel. AS to the automobiles they simply sup- plement a demand for which there are not enough horses to supply. One of the horse breeding associations says that the demand for good horses was never more urgent than now, and the supply far below the requirements, and that farmers are everywhere recogniz~ ing that the raising of good horses is as necessary as is that of other live stock. Varlous conditions have *sur-, rounded the horse trade in the past several years which pessimistic men sald would ‘seriously hamper this in- dustry. ~ Among these so-called bad features were the electric street rall- ways, bieycles and automobiles, The apa who stood by the horse is now reaping the benefits. Buyers are dlam- ring for his supplies at the highest prices in years, yet they are unable to ecure nearly the number thelr om lers call for. This would indicate that he demand has outgrown the supply, ‘There Is every reason to belleve that he outlet for horses will continue road and prices will be comparalvely igh, and it would seem that the farm- T who raises @ good class will make 0 mistake,” Treatment to Exterminate Lice. Dr. R. A Craig, veterinarian at ta Purdue experiment station, Lafaye'te Ind, has issued a bulletin on the treat ment of live stock for lice, and the di rections if followed out will result ir saving many dollars. Farm stoc! that has become infested with vermir during the winter months do not thrive as they should, and in the spring may show marked unthriftiness, This is especially true when stock fs not well cared for and in young animals. The sucking lice are more harmful thar the biting variety, as the former have mouths adapted to penetrating the skin and sucking the blood of the host, However, the symptoms may be as marked in sheep and other animals that are badly infected with biting lice. In some cases the wool or coat becomes matted and Inflamed as a re- sult of the animal running, biting and scratching the parts, Good care dur- ing the winter will prevent the lice from doing a great deal of harm, and thé simpler remedies, such 2s mereu- rial and sulphur ointment rubbed back of the horns or ears and along the mane or back, and insect powder dust- ed Into the coat may help in destroy- ing them. A thorough treatment of the herd with dips or washes can not be Practiced during the winter months un- less the treated animals are prevented from catching cold. A favorable time to use this line of treatment is in the spring. A 1 or 2 percent water solu- tion of a tar disinfectant should be used, A convenient way to apply the remedy in the larger animals {s with a spray pump and in sheep and hogs by dipping. Whatever method is used the cbat and skin must be thor- oughly wet with the solution. Proper care should be taken In mixing the remedy, as there is danger of making it too strong and {irritating the skin, After treating’ the. herd, the stables or sleeping quarters should be sprayed with about a 2 percent water solu- tion of the disinfectant or whitewash may be used instead, This is neces- sary to protect the herd from the sur- roundings. If thera {s much Utter about the yanis tife herd should be re- moved to other yards: The disinfect- ants in a 1 or 2 percent solution do not destroy the eggs or nits, hence It is necessary to treat the animals again In ten days or two weeks.

Despite our familiarity with meer- schaum, as used In pipes, it is ate to say that few of us have more than @ vague idea of the peculiar proper- les of this substance, or the condi- tion in which it occurs In nature. Nor may {ts chemical designation as a hydrous silicate of magnesia of tho formula Mge2SI3034+2H20 prove very enlightening. The ancients believed the substatice to be petrified ea foam, hence the German name Meer- schaum, meaning sea foam; and a very apt name it fs, for the mineral 4s very white and so light that it ~ill float when dry. Pleces of meer- schaum have been found floating in the Black Sea which were evidently washed out of thelr matrix by the waves. This may also have had Its influence on the sea foam theory of its formation, Meerschaum Is found In best qual- tty ang most abundant quantity in Asla Minor, though {t also occurs in Greece, Spain, Moravia and Morocco, and even in this country in South Carolina. The riches mines are on the plains of Eskishehr, 250 miles southeast of Constantinople. One of these mines Is said to be a thousand years old, and consists of about twa thousand pits within an area of six miles, all but about 150 of which have*been exhausted. The miner oo curs in nodules or Jumps of various and frregular sizes, buried in the al luvial deposit of the plan. Another mine comprises three thousand pits, only one hundred of which are being worked. The material i mined by the inhabitants of surrounding vil- lages, and transported in the rough to Eskishehr, . The meerschaum pipe factory of this city illustrates the process of forming the material into pipes. The largest pieces are cut with a band saw to a convenient size, after which the meerschaum {s soaked in water until it becomes quite soft. Meer- schaum when wet becomes very soapy, and will produce quite a lath- er if rubbed. In fact, ihe material serves as q very good substitute for soap, and is thus used in Morocco. Meerschaum dust makes an excellent cleaning powder for removing spots from fabrics, After belng thoroughly soaked the meerschaum ean be cut like cheese, and it is then shaped with a knife to the form of a pipe, When dry the bowl and stem shanks are drilled. Tn the selection of a meerschaum pipe one should be .careful not to pick a dead white specimen.

How Senator Tillman Lost an Eye, “Although his brothers were old enough ‘to serve in the Confederate army, Benjamin R, Tillman was a schoolboy of 15 when the great strug- gle began, He knew that at 16 he must join the Confederate forces, and his brothers wrote back from the field entreating him to get as much educs- tion as possible, because the ‘war might last so long that he would never again be able to go to school. Even at night young Tillman would continue his studies, frequently carry- Ing a lighted pine knot into the woods; and lying down with his books beside it He was a lank, tall, silent boy, dictatorial and brusque, but a natural student.

Many dul children become the very drightest and most effective men and women, There are various reasons for this fact. It {s ‘not, however, an exceptional condition in nature, Many of the hardiest plants and trees ‘ma- ture most slowly and bear fruit late. ‘The problem of the dull child is one that need by no means discourage. If it were necessary to prove by ex- amples the assertion in regard to: the hopefuluess of slow-minded children, we could fill many pages with in- stances of famous men who were dul- lards in youth. Walter Scott, for in- atance, was known at school as the “Greek blockhead,” since he seemed unable to master that language. Some children by too rapid growth become hulky and stupid temporar- ily, They could be described, in tech- nical language, as not yet “cele- brated.” Bones and muscles have grown more rapidly than brain and nervous system. But in multitudes of cases the nervous forces develop In- ter, catch up, and become predoml- nant. Then you have a bright man or woman out of 2 dull, slow child. Not 2 Cinderella.

A great many years ago two girls lived In Atchison, Both were equally pretty and good natured, Immediately upon leaving school one girl put her shoul- der to the wheel. She earned her own living and contributed to the support of the family. She was industrious andemade her own clothes and hats. She had taste and was always stylish- ly dressed. She was unselfish with her friends, and gay and entertaining. She was a help to all who knew. her. The other girl was a constant drain on the family resources. . She never earned a cent {n ‘her life, but spent on dress, entertaining, etc. She nev- er lifted her hand to help with the familly housework.

Mothers’ Kiss for Child at Bedtime, Whatever the child's daytime naughtiness may have been, at night- fall he should be forciven and nut to rest with the mother’s kiss on his lips and her voice in his ear. Hardly any- o be worse for a young child ‘than to be scolded or punished at bed- time, and to carry into ls dreams harshness or gloom. The mother does well to be a little blind to some things, and remember that. much childish culpability is superficial and washes off almost as easily as the soll from hands and face In the evening bath. Children should never be al- lowed to carry with them In thelr thought the mental sufferings which too many parents seem to. think an absolute necessity in the careful bringing up of children. All too soon will they have to face the world and its sorrows. Before the nursey brood is undressed and in bed, the lights turned low, and the room quieted for the night, the mother or older sister can sweeten thelr last waking mo ments ‘with stories before they emt bark for dreamland. While the most exatt and rigid truthfulness should be practiced In our dealings with chik dren, and they should be -taught te shun all equicoyation and lying, stilt we need not fear to satisfy their vivid baby Imaginations with the literature of fairyland. They early learn to find the truth wrapped up in the husk of the story. Show the child that you have con- fidence In {ts ability to do right and think right. This will bring ft closer to you and many of the little dificul- ties in the matter of control will be overcome. . Women in Business. The only woman who edits, owns and manages a newspaper in the state of South Carolina is Miss Virginia Young’ of Fairfax, S. C. She not only carries on her newspaper successfully, but finds time to take part in fre- quent and interesting controversies on the subject of woman suffrage. Out in Joplin, Mo., there is » bank that is managed entirely by women, and that 1s probably the only wom- an’s bank that there fs in exfstence. Five women conduct its affairs, the cashier, assistant cashier, two book- keepers and a teller, and the bank ts one of the most prosperous In that part ofthe country. A Chicago woman makes a business of managing teas, luncheons and re- ceptions, and her patrons greatly. pre- fer her services to those of a profes- sional caterer, She not only looks af- ter the dining room, but the other rooms in the house as well, sees that the iower floor 1s arranged for the particular function and that tho dress- ing rooms are well supplied with plas, brushes and other small articles. She uses as far as possible the silver and china of the hostess, thus making a much better appearance than when the rather doubtful looking ware sup- plied by the average caterer {s used. The only licensed woman guide in this country is Mrs. J. S. Freese of Maine. She is a tireles hunter, can manage a canoe as well as a man and often conducts hunting parties through the Maine woods. ‘The most successful busines wom- an in the state of Indiana is sald to be Mrs. Davis of Shelbyville, who when quite a young girl opened a small millinery store in the clty. In a few years she was at the head of a large establishinent and her business. is now estimated to be worth $500- 000.

It is proposed to utilize the harbor of Galway, situated on the western coast of Ireland, and run a Mine of express steamers between there and St. John’s, on the coast of Newfoundland, a distance of 1816 miles, while the rest of the Journey to New York could be made for most of the way by fast trains. It is be- Heved that the trip from London to the American metropolis coald thus be shortened by at least a day, From New York to Southhampton is almost twice as far as from Galway to St. Jobn's—3116 miles; while the dis- tance from New York to Liverpool {v 3095 miles. § “NO TROUBLE” x ‘To Change From Coffee to Postum. “Postum has done a world of good for me," writes an Ills, man, “T’ve had Indigestion nearly all my Ute, but never dreamed coffee was the cause of my trouble until last spring I got so bad I was in misery all the time. 4 “A coffee drinker for 30 years, it Irritated my stomach and nerves, yet Iwas just crazy for it.

Has Features of Simplicity, Convenience and Efficiency. It is well known that lap-boards and sewing tables are often used for "cutting out" garments, and for accurately performing the work the cloth must be maintained in an unwrinkled and comparatively taut condition. An Ohio woman has patented a lap-board which has features of simplicity which could also be applied to a table or any similar article. ```markdown ``` Holds Down the Cloth. The lap-board shown here is of the ordinary kind, a marginal groove being made in the sides. In this marginal groove is placed a strip of penetrable material, as felt, into which pins can be easily stuck. The groove and strip can extend part way or entirely around, as convenient. In a table it would be desirable to insert into all sides, while in a lap-board the side containing the concave recess will generally not require the strips. Such a lap-board would be useful in holding work while a seam is being basted or sewed. Even the clothes could be held in position on the table by the addition of such a groove, and when used on library tables, the strip used as a pin-cushion. Portable Cot "Take up. thy bed and walk." This is the Biblical quotation which inspired a North Carolina woman to design the portable cot shown here. It is especially suitable for travelers and others who have need of a bed or couch which can readily be moved from places to place. It is constructed to be particularly useful upon the ordinary "day coach" or railway trains, when it is impossible or undesirable to secure a sleeper. In When Folded Fits Into a Suit Case. addition it is equally well adapted for use as an ordinary couch or bed in the home, upon the lawn or upon camping trips. The body portion is in two sections, hinged together. The cushions are also hinged together, one of the cushions having draft guards at the top and sides. The entire cot folds neatly and compactly to form a package approximately the size of a suit case. A waterproof carrying case is provided to protect the cot from the weather, with means for conveniently carrying it as ordinary hand brace-age. A few drops of elder vinegar rubbed into the hands after washing clothes will keep them smooth and take away the spongy feeling they always have after being in the water a good while.

Photo of Young Queen Wilhelmina and Prince Henry. Her Consort. Photo of Young Queen Wilhelmina and Prince Henry. Her Consort. Apostle and Epistle. A Philadelphiaian riding through the mountains of Tennessee stopped one evening to water his horse before a little cabin, outside of which sat an old colored woman, watching the antics of a couple of colored boys playing near by. "Good evening, aunty," he called. "Cute pair of boys you've got. Your children?" "Laws a massy! Mah chillunt' Deed dem's mah daughter's chilluns. Come hyah, you boys," she called sharply, "an' speak to d' gemman!" As the boys obeyed the summons, the Philadelphia inquired their names. "Clah to goodness, sah, dem chilluns is right smaht named!" said the old woman. "Ye see, mah daughteh done got 'liglon long ago, an' named dese hyah boys right out de Bible, sah. Dis hyah one's named Apostle Paul, and de udder's called Epistle Peter."—Pittsburg Post. They Make Our National Game. McGraw says that baseball is kept alive by the Irish and the Dutch or German. Were it not for them, he says, the sport would fall into decay. "It takes the Irish to keep up the ginger and fighting spirit," declares the Giant leader, "and for good, hard, everyday work, it takes the Dutch. For instance, take Hans Wagner and Bill Dahlen. You'll find them playing the same artistic ball day in and day out, and you'll notice the Irish come in with their sudden brilliancy just in time to make their work show. It's a great combination, and baseball furnishes one of the few instances where these two distinct and widely different types of men will work as a team." Weizht of a Child. The child of seven should weigh forty-nine and one-half pounds, be forty-six inches high and have a chest girth of twenty-three and one-half inches. Governor Terrell has signed the Buchanan bill, which allows counties in which dispensaries are located to decide their fate by ballot. Slap Cost Just $100. For slapping a white boy, George Meyers, Clayborn Crawford, a negro bicycle dealer, at Columbus, was fined $100, with the alternative of sixty days on the chain gang by Acting Recorder Williams, who expressed his regret that he could not make the sentence five times heavier. Election Blanks Sent Out Chairman M. J. Yeomans of the state democratic executive committee has forwarded the blanks for election returns to the chairman of the different county executive committee to be used in the primary, August 22. The tickets were sent out several days ago. --- Many Requisitions Issued. The records of the executive department show that in July Governor Terrell broke the records of all months of previous years in the matter of issuing requisitions on governors of others states for fugitives from justice. He issued twenty-six. The next highest is twenty-one, issued in 1892. Phill Cook County Favored. After remaining in executive session but a few minutes, the members of the committee on new counties announced to the waiting crowd of interested persons that the committee had reported unanimously in favor of the proposed new county of Phil Cook, which is to include parts of the present counttees of Pike and Monroe. --- Capital of Georgia Banks. State Treasurer Park's report to the United States comptroller shows that the capital of all banks in Georgia, not national, is $2,895,000. From July 1, 1905, to June 18, of this year, the state has issued ninety charters. No banks have failed during that period. One sold out and merged into another, which is now the Bank of Savannah. It has a capitalization $700,000. . . . Alf Moore Given Respite. Governor Terrell granted a respite to Alf Moore, who was implicated in the murder of the Carter children, until October 5. This is done because the negro will be needed as a witness in the trial of the Rawlings, which has been appealed to the United States supreme court. The decision of Judge Speer of the United States district court at Macon will stay the execution of Rawlings until the case is heard. An opinion to this effect was submitted by State Attorney General Hart to Governor Terrell, and the respite of the negro followed. Fraternal Pins an Issue. A bill has been introduced into the Georgia senate to stop negroes from wearing the pins of the white fraternal organization. The bill is to be general in its character. It applies by name to every secret order that has any standing at all in Georgia, and makes it a misdemeanor for any one to wear a pin or an emblem of a regularly chartered secret or fraternal organization unless he is a member thereof. It is hoped in this way to retire the numerous Elks heads, three links of the Odd Fellows and the F., C. and B's of the Knights of Pythias which now adorn the lapels of so many negroes' coats. Judge W. R. Hammond, Judge Howard B. Van Epps and Hon. Benjamin H. Hill, all of Atlanta, will be candidates for seats upon the new court of appeals, which has been established by the legislature. The election for the three judges will occur early in November, provided, of course, that the people of Georgia at the October election ratify the action of the legislature in creating the new court. To create it, a constitutional amendment is necessary, and this will be voted on at the regular October election. Until permanent quarters can be obtained the court of appeals will use the supreme court hall. The court will be in session during the supreme court's vacation hours. Condition of Various Crops. Commissioner Hudson of the state agricultural department has issued a circular, which shows exceedingly well the conditions of crops in Georgia, and what are the prospects. The circular is as follows: On July 21 the Georgia department of agriculture sent out the usual number of circulars to intelligent correspondents in every county with questions concerning the condition and prospects of all the crops. An unusually large percentage of these correspondents returned answers with the following results: Total average for the state: Cotton 71 1-3; corn 89 1-3; rye 72 1-2; tobacco 85 1-2; sweet potatoes 87; sugar cane 90 2-3; melons 68 1-3 peaches 63; appleses 65 1-3; cantaloupes 70; groundpeas 89; field peas 67 1-3; cars peaches shipped last year 309; cars cantaloupes last year 141; cars cantaloupes this year 124. Wheat: Yield compared with an average 91 2-3 per cent; average yield per acre this year, bushels, 10 1-3. Oats: Yield compared with an average 66 2-3; average yield per acre this year, bushels, 16..Hay: Yield compared with an average 97; estimating that Georgia made 1,750,000 bales cotton in 1905, how many balees will be made in the state in 1906? 1,372,000. It will be noted that the July cotton report has fallen from an average condition of from 85 per cent to 71 per cent. ```markdown ``` Asylum a Dumping Ground. "The asylum at Milledgeville is a dumping ground for every poorhouse in the state. Why, they actually keep drunken people there until they sober up." Such is the substance of a statement made upon the floor of the house by Hon. Joe Hill Hall during a speech in opposition to a bill appropriating $10,000 for the erection of four cottages or buildings for the isolation by sex and color of the consumptive insane confined in the state sanitarium at Milledgeville. Mr. Hall attached no blame to the officials. The bill was passed by a vote of 120 to 7, with the provision that the sum mentioned be taken from the state appropriation already made for the institution. The Revised School Laws. Commissioner W. B. Merritt has worked faithfully and wisely to secure a revision of the school laws of the state. Nearly three years ago a committee from the senate was appointed to revise and codify the school laws. This committee received the co-operation of Mr. Merritt and other educators. The new law has passed both houses of the general assembly. It is a distinct gain for common school education. Among the chief provisions which it injects into the old laws are the following: It provides for higher qualifications of board members and permits one of said members to be selected from a local system; makes the maximum pay of board members $3 a day; provides that school districts shall not contain less, than 60 children except under certain restrictions; provides that teachers shall make reports of all children in their districts not in attendance and the cause of their non-attendance; provides for help from the county school funds for help to school libraries, provided the school community raises an equal amount. Under this law it will be possible for every school community to have a good library and to add from ten to twenty dollars' worth of books each year. The law provides for consolidation of schools, transportation of pupils; provides that applicants for county school commissioners' positions who have not served before must have had successful experience as teachers; that commissioners must visit schools twice each year; that school funds be available during the school months of the year; that funds received for teachers' salaries must be paid out within ten days; and that school year shall begin in September instead of January. Another bill has passed the house, which is of immediate importance, as it corrects the errors in the local tax law. With the passage of this by the senate, we expect to see many districts voting a school tax, thereby improving the school conditions. With this law enacted it will be a dying town that refuses to put in a modern, free, nine months public school system.J. S. STEWART. AMERICANS KILL JAPS. Encroachment Upon Fisheries the Cause—Complications Expected. A report of the killing of five Japanese fishermen and the capture of twelve Japanese prisoners on Attu Island, the westernmost of the Aleutian group, the prisoners having been taken by the revenue cutter McCulloch, commanded by. Captain J, C. Cantwell, was made to the department of commerce and labor, Tuesday, by Edwin W. Sils, solicitor for the department, who is in Alaska, to enforce the new law prohibiting all persons not citizens of the United States from fishing in Alaska waters. The Japanese killed were shot by Americans on Attu Island, before the McCulloch arrived. International complications may result. SAINTS WERE A SORRY LOT. Ex-Secretary Long Discounts Piety of the Pilgrim Fathers. John D. Long, former secretary of the navy, stirred up a lot of excitement at the first ter-centennial of the First Church of Plymouth by his address at Plymouth, Mass., on "The Pilgrim Fathers." "The salants in Plymouth could be counted on the fingers," he said. "Some of the very elect were false to their trust, falser to their trust than any president of a modern insurance company. Within the first decade social vices infested the community; drunkenness, slander, licentiousness and even crimes against nature were common."
