HOKE SMITH Result of State Him of Guber WAS A LANDSLIDE People's Candidate Carried Over One Hundred Counties, and Goes to Convention With More Than Majority Over All. The result of the Georgia state primary is a signal victory for Hoke Smith. The returns, practically complete, show that Mr. Smith carried over one hundred counties and the indications are that he is assured of 264 delegates to the state convention out of 366 comprising the membership of that body. Mr. Smith's victory is full and complete. It means, in all probability, his nomination by acclamation at the state convention, which meets at Macon on September 4. The only other contests on the state ticket were those for the offices of comptroller general and state school commissioner. These were completely overshadowed by the contest over the governorship—so completely that most of the voters were not aware that such contests were on until they undertook to mark their tickets. Neither Mr. Sanford nor Mr. Johnston made much of an impression, Comptroller General Wright and State School Commissioner Merritt carrying every county so far as reported. Three contests for congress were interesting side issues. Two of these were furnished by the first district. The fight for the short term to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Colonel R. E. Lester brought out a separate set of candidates than that for the long term. The short term contest was won by Hon. J. W. Overstreet of Screven over three opponents. The long term was won by Hon. W. W. Sheppard of Savannah over Hon. J. A. Brannen of Bulloch. In the third district Congressman Lewis has defeated Hon. Dudley M. Hughes after a spirited contest. There were a number of contests for judgeships and for senatorships, but these had only local interest. United States Senator A. O. Bacon had no opposition for renomination and probably polled every vote cast in the primary. The state house officers who were reelected without opposition are as follows: Philip Cook; secretary of state; Robert E. Park, state treasurer; John C. Hart, attorney general; T. G. Hudson, commissioner of agriculture; Clement A. Evans, prison commissioner; William H. Fish, chief justice of the supreme court for the unexpired term ending January 1, 1911; Marcus W. Beck, associate justice of the supreme court for the unexpired term ending January 1, 1911; Samuel G. Atkinson and Joseph Henry Lumpkin, associate justices of the supreme court for unexpired terms ending January 1, 1907, and for full terms of six years each, beginning January 1, 1907. Nine cengressmen from Georgia had no opposition and will be returned to their seats. These are James M. Griggs of the second, W. A. Adamson of the fourth. Leonidas F. Livingston of the fifth, Charles L. Bartlett of the sixth, Gordon Lee of the seventh, William H. Howard of the eighth, Thomas M. Bell of the ninth, Thom- IMPORTED PORTO RICANS. Colony of Islanders Will Be Employed on Louisiana Plantations. One hundred Porto Ricans to be tried as an experiment on Louisiana sugar plantations arrived in New Orleans Wednesday, having shipped at San Juan. The experiment is being made under the auspices of the Louisiana Immigration League. If it is a success large numbers of the islanders will be brought over to supply the annual labor scarcity on the plantations. The laborers will be taken along the route of the Southern Pacific railroad. as W. Hardwick of the tenth and William G. Brantley of the eleventh. Clark Howell has carried nine counties, with 18 votes in the convention. Judge Russell has carried eight counties, with 18 votes in the convention. J. H. Estill has carried six counties, with 16 votes in the convention. James M. Smith has carried two counties, with 4 votes in the convention. This leaves 18 counties unreported, with a vote in the convention of 38. The total vote in the convention is 266—necessary to a choice 184. Hoke Smith, therefore, has 88 more votes than are necessary for his nomination on the first ballot in the convention. In fact, he has nearly 75 per cent of the votes of the convention already assured him. By a plurality of 1,964 votes over Clark Howell and a clear majority of 1,200 votes over the four candidates opposing him, Hoke Smith carried his own county of Fulton. When all the county had been figured up Mr. Smith was found $23 votes ahead of his nearest competitor. In the city of Atlanta Mr. Smith increased his plurality by over 1,400 votes, carrying every ward in the city with the exception of the sixth and eighth, the former being Mr. Smith's home ward and the latter the home ward of Clark Howell. In Fulton a contest for county treasurer was decided, with eight candidates in the field. Hubert L. Culberson, attorney at law and chairman of the board of county commissioners, was elected over his seven opponents after one of the most spirited and interesting contests ever held in the county. He received 450 more votes than the next highest candidate, James G. Woodward, mayor of Atlanta. CUBAN REBELS ACTIVE. They Capture and Occupy Town of San Louis—Revolution is Spreading Over Entire Island. A special from Havana, Cuba, says: The insurgents in the province of Pinar del Rio captured their first city there Wednesday. At 9 o'clock Wednesday morning the force led by Pino Guerris, an ex-congressman and an influential man, and who was believed to be many miles eastward, and sundry other insurgent bands attacked San Louis, which is on the railroad about ten miles west of Pinar del Rio city. A sharp and decisive engagement followed, during which a number of men were killed or wounded. The town was defended by less than one hundred rural guards, fifty of whom surrendered to the insurgents, and are held as prisoners. The insurgent forces are in possession of the railroad station and of the town, which is resuming its normal condition. By the capture of San Louis, which has about 10,000 inhabitants, the insurgents have obtained an important base for future operations. The city of San Louis is situated near the San Sebastian river, eight miles south by west of the city of Pinar del Rio in a region noted for the production of tobacco. It became known later in the day that practically all the inhabitants of the town of Aguacate have, with the mayor, declared themselves insurrectionists against the government. A dispatch from Rancho Belo, Sants Clara province, says that a band of insurgents has been organized there under Colonel Relnos, and it is believed that ex-Congressman Mendleta is with them. MEXICANS, CAPTURE STENSLAND. Chicago Bank Wrecker Reported Held for Extradition. A private message received in Chicago from El Paso Wednesday reported positively the arrest of Paul O. Stensland, fugitive president of the wrecked Milwaukee Avenue State bank at Aguas Calientes, Mexico. A telegram was at once sent to Springfield to ascertain whether Governor Deneen had been notified of the arrest, and what action had been taken looking to the extradition of the fugitive. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 25, 1906. DEATH LIST ENORMOUS. Earthquake Disaster at Valparaiso and Vicinity Took Thousands of Lives. Loss Enormous. There continues confusion of statements as to the magnitude of the disaster to Valparaiso caused by the earthquake shocks which began on Thursday, August 16, and continued at frequent intervals throughout that and the next two days. Latest dispatches from Valparaiso to the Associated Press state that a moderate estimate of the fatalities is 2,000, and that the property loss may be as high as $250,000,000, which latter is as great as the loss sustained by San Francisco in consequence of the earthquake and fire which devastated that city last April. Dispatches to the state department at Washington place the fatalities at about 500. These conflicting statements cannot at this time be adjusted. It is evident that even yet confusion and panic prevail at Valparaiso, and until order is restored it will be impossible to ascertain with accuracy the loss of life and property. The dwellings in the city have practically been abandoned and the people are existing as best they can in the plazas adjacent to it, without shelter from storm or sun, and with famine confronting them. Food is scarce and high, water for drinking purposes is lacking and disease is feared. The government is doing all it can do to bring relief. The crippling of the railroads leading into Valparaiso constitutes a serious factor in the situation, as for an indefinite period relief supplies can only be obtained through other means of transportation, the seaboard affording the best of these. At Santiago many of the best public and private building wererecked. The loss of life there was augmented by the panic which seized the people, many of whom threw themselves from balconies of their homes. The destructive force of the earthquake was experienced over a large extent of the country, many towns, sustaining serious damage. WRONG MAN WAS KILLED. Unfortunate Mistake of Floridian In Avenging Ruin.of Wife. R. E. Wishart, of Ocala, Fla., was killed at San Antonio, Pasco county, Sunday morning by a turpentine man named Burton. Wishart operated a tie camp at Ehren, and with his two daughters went to San Antonio to have dental work done for one. While the young lady was in the dentist's chair and Wishart was waiting in the office, Burton, who had a grievance against the dentist, whose name is Nichols, came to the door and asked if Nichols was in. Wishart replied that he was, and Burton, thinking it was Nichols who spoke, fired a load from a shotgun into Wishart's heart, killing him instantly. As Burton fired he called out: "Nichols, you have ruined my wife." STRIKERS STONE ROOT'S TRAIN. Secretary's Trip to South America Proving a Strenuous One. A special from Buenos Ayres says: While Mr. Root and a party were returning from the Chascomus ranch strikers stoned the train, breaking three windows in Mr. Root's car and wounding the minister of agriculture in the neck. Several others of the party were slightly injured. An investigation is being made. DEATH CLAIMS MORRISON. Curtain Drops For, Actor Who Gained Fame as "Menhisto." Lewis Morrison, an actor, whose work as Mephisto, in "Faust," galned him fame, died suddenly, of shock, on Saturday afternoon, in St. John's hospital, Yonkers, N. Y., after undergoing an operation for a disease of the stomach. He was 61 years old. The trade of the United States with its contiguous territories in the fiscal year just ended amounted to $119,304,511, according to a bulletin issued by the department of commerce and labor. ATTORNEY JEROME IS WILLING. Says He Will Run For Governor If No Conditions Are Attached. District Attorney William Travers Jerome issued the following statement at New York Sunday: "In the present shameful condition of our political life in this state, I am willing to run for the office of governor of this state, if the democratic convention nominate me without and understanding, expressed or implied, other than that, if elected, I shall obey my oath of office as I understand it, in letter and spirit." CONGRESS PRAISED The Republican Campaign Committee Utilizes It as an Endorsement. Speaker Cannon's Work is Highly Approved. A letter written by President Roosevelt to Congressman Watson of Rushville, Ind., reviewing and approving of the work of the present congress and declaring "to change the leadership and organization of the house at this time means to bring confusion upon those who have successfully engaged in the working of great and comprehensive schemes for bettring our social and civic condition," was made public at New York Monday through the republican congressional campaign committee. The president also declared that such a condition would result in hurtful oscillation between the extrema radical and the extreme reactionary positions. The president said also that he hoped the present congress would enact laws prohibiting political contributions by corporations, lowering the duties on imports from the Philippines and limiting the number of hours for railway employees. Of the tariff Mr. Roosevelt says: "We stand unequivocally for a protective tariff and we feel that the phenomenal industrial prosperity which we are now enjoying is not lightly to be jeopardized, for it would be to the last degree foolish to secure here and there a small benefit at the cost of general business depression. "But whenever a given rate or schedule becomes evidently disadvantageous to the nation because of changes which go on from year to year in our conditions and where it is feasible to change this rate or schedule without too much dislocation of the system, it will be done, while a general revision of the rates and schedules will be undertaken, whenever it shall appear to the sober business sense of our people that on the whole the benefits to be derived from making such changes will do more good than harm. The cry that the problem can be met by any changes in the tariff represents consciously or unconsciously an effort to take public attention away from the real issue." Mr. Roosevelt, then enters on a review of the work of congress and the important measures passed by it, measures which, he declares, are important, not in a partisan sense, but are important because they subserve the welfare of the people as a whole. Of the Panama canal he expresses the opinion that it is the colossal engineering feat of all ages and the credit for the acquisition of the canal strip is given to congress. Strong approval is expressed of the attitude of congress toward the upbuilding of the navy and then the president takes up the measures dealing with government regulation of business. The "tremendous social and industrial changes in our nation," he says, "have rendered the government needful to use its power over corporate wealth in interstate business. It is not too much to say that the course of congress within the last few years and the hearty agreement between the executive and executive departments of the nation in taking the needed action each within its sphere have resulted in the nation for the first time definitely entering on the career of proper performance of duty in these matters. "We will do everything'we can to further the interests of the farmer and wage workers," he declares, "and this declaration is subject to only one provision, and that is that no man shall do anything wrong." SIXTY-FIVE PER CENT YIELD. Such is Calculation Ament Cotton Crop in Georgia. The yield of the cotton crop of the state of Georgia will not average over 65 or 70 per cent, according to the statement of officials of the state agricultural department. The crop has been seriously affected by the dry, hot weather that has followed copious rains. Speaking of the yield, State Commissioner Hudson said: "The crop has been quite deceptive, but I learn that the sap has risen in the stalks, which have made them very large and promising, but the hot weather has caused the bloom to be very-small, and I do not see how the present crop can average more than 60 per cent, probably 70 per cent, in the most favorable sections." CONVENTION BIFFS BRYAN Illinois Democrats Refuse to Comply With His Demand to Oust Committeeman Sullivan. By a vote of 1,038 to 570, the democratic convention of Illinois, in session at Peoria, Tuesday, placed upon the table the request of William J. Bryan for the resignation of Roger C. Sullivan from the national committee. Despite the fact that Mr. Bryan had declared that he did not wish to be endorsed unless Sullivan were repudiated, the convention declared, him to be the one and only man capable of leading the party to victory in 1903. The endorsement of Mr. Bryan and the tabling of the motion calling for the resignation of Mr. Sullivan came at the close of a most exciting convention, in which there were several fights, and throughout which confusion reigned supreme. The committee on resolutions declined to report a plan calling for the resignation of Sullivan, and the debate followed upon a motion made in the convention by Judge Owen Thompson of Jacksonville calling for Sullivan's resignation. it had been agreed that each side should have forty-five minutes in which to present its side of the case, and Judge Thompson was the first advocate of the cause of Mr. Bryan. He allowed his feelings to carry him somewhat to an extreme and aroused the hostility of Sullivan's friends by the unsparing manner in which he dwelt upon the last democratic convention at Springfield. He strode up and down the platform, his face white with wrath and his form shaking with the intensity of his feeling. His caustic criticism finally lost him the ear of the convention and he might never have been able to conclude his speech if Sullivan had not personally requested quiet. Sullivan, who followed Thompson and who was the first speaker in his own behalf, declared that the car of Mr. Bryan had been poisoned against him and that the demand for his resignation sprang from his personal enemies. Great feeling was displayed on both sides during the debate and at times personalities of a disagreeable character were indulged in by various speakers. The end came on a motion made by ex-Congressman Kern of Belleville that the request of the resignation of Sullivan be laid on the table. Feeling during the roll call on this proposition ran very high. The votes of several counties were challenged, and one delegate from Warren county declared that the vote from that county had been deliberately garbled. When all these difficulties had been straightened out the vote was declared to be as given above. ORDERED.OUT OF TEXAS. Negro Troops Will Not Be Located in Any Part of State. A Washington special of Tuesday says: The negro federal troops have been ordered out of Texas. Instead of going to Fort Ringgold, which is about one hundred miles up the Rio Grande from Fort Brown, the battalion of the twenty-fifth infantry has been ordered to Fort Reno, Oklahoma. This action is in accordance with the direction of the president, and also is recommended by General McCaskey, commanding the department of Texas. By direction of the president also General J. Franklin Bell, chief of staff, will make a thorough investigation of the whole Brownsville affair and report to the president. Fort Brown is to be abandoned. The company of the twenty-sixth infantry, which was sent there Monday, will not stay very long. Its duty is to pack up all the movable government property, which will be shipped to other posts when the troops will be ordered away. The investigation now under way will be continued by Major Blocksom and the war department authorities state that every effort will be made to find out the facts and fix the responsibility for the disturbance and that any soldiers found guilty will be punished. WIDOW SUES GAY DOCTOR. Charges an Attempted Assault and $10,000 Damages Wanted. Mrs. Lizzle Lee of Sommerville, Ala., is suing Dr. W. C. Barcliff, a prominent physician of Hartselle, for $10,000 for alleged assault. The case came up in the circuit court at Docatur Tuesday. Mrs. Lee, who is a good looking widow, contends that on June 28th last, Dr. Barcliff went to her house and placed his hand on her and asked her to go to his office where he could make love to her. Her little daughter corroborated her in part. NO. 47. A RACKET IN CUBA Political Revolt in the Island Keeps Palma Crowd Busy. TROUBLE AT ITS HEIGHT Sharp Conflicts in Havana Province Rural Guards. Pursue Insurgent A special from Havana, Cuba, says: The indications are that the revolution in western Cuba already has practically reached its maximum. The government and people generally believe the movement has received about all the accessions it will be likely to gain. On the other hand, and notwithstanding the quietude In the Pinar del Rio region throughout, Tuesday, peaceable inhabitants of the cities of Pinar del Rio, Consolacion del Sur, San Juan del Martinez and other western towns are in hourly apprehension of the attack and occupation of those places. The fact that probably 1,000 insurgents are tending to concentrate in the province of Pinar del Rio upon towns inadequately guarded and most inexperienced in warfare, makes the situation grave. Night attacks on the city of Pinar del Rio and other towns continue to be regarded as a probability. The government wires are working freely. Pinar del Rio, Consolacion del Sur and San Juan del Martinez were reinforced Tuesday by 200 troops. The loyal citizens are well equipped to repel an invasion. There was some fighting Tuesday in Havana province, and more is expected. A detachment of rural guards encountered a portion of a Banderu band, with which shots were exchanged at close range. One insurgent was killed and the others scattered. Fifty rural guards are in pursuit of the main band. The old Havana arsenal is the scene of the enlistment of a new quota of rural guards. This work is in charge of veterans. After consultation with the members of the cabinet Tuesday President Palma rescinded his order for the assignment of General Montalvo as director of military operations against the insurgents on the ground that it would be incompatible with his position as secretary of public works. It is believed the unwillingness of Secretary of State and Justice O'Ferrill to relinquish, or divide, the charge of the interior affairs, contributed to this. The absence from the capital of Vice President Mendez Capote, who hitherto has been the right hand adviser of President Palma, and who is at his summer home at Cardenas, is eliciting some comment. In order to realize the motives of the insurrectionists it should be remembered that political partisanship in Cuba is radical and fierce, and with the opposition takes the form of violent condemnation of the dominant party. That is particularly true of the province of Pinar del Rio. The alleged repressions of 1905 still rankle with the more radical members of the liberal party. The revolutionary feeling also is quickly revived in the more remote districts, fanned by the tales of President Palma's alleged unfairness. This being the life season in both the sugar and the tobacco fields, men are easily led into excitement. DOMINICAN REBELS IN ARMS: Lively Civil War is Expected in Little Black Republic. Advices received from Guayabin, Santo Domingo, say that General Guellito, at the head of 900 revolutionists has left Dajabon to join the troops of General Navarro, and make an attack on Monte Cristi. The government of Santo Domingo has sent 1,200 men from Moca against the revolutionists. It is believed a desperate civil war will follow. "FOR ME AND RUSSIA." Czar Nicholas Calls For Uncompromising War On Terrorism A call to an uncompromising war with terrorism and revolution in Poland was sounded in the imperial telegram of congratulation to Governor General Skallon, of Warsaw, on his escape from the bombs of would-be assassins at Warsaw; Saturday. In this telegram Emperor Nicholas, after thanking Divine Providence for saving the governor general's life "for me and Russia," continues: "Do not be discouraged; be absolute in the battle with insensate anarchy and sedition."

ROBABLY at no period of the world's history where the Machiavellian formula has been the chief working one of a great social institution has its crowning principle—to give the whole fabric the color of charity—been so universally practiced as it is today by our captains of industry. Cesare Borgia, Machiavelli's great model and that incredible villain, his father, Pope Alexander VI., troubled themselves precious little about screening their deeds with clemency and charity—their failure to do so was a chief cause of their final failure. Machiavelli realized this and it was his reason for repeatedly putting emphasis on the necessity of posing as a saint however great a devil you may be. Today there is hardly to be found in American industry a leader, however Machiavellian in practice, who does not seek to justify himself in the eyes of the public by some form of benefit to society. He may cultivate the arts, he may endow colleges, he may build hospitals, but whoever he is—however truly a commercial brigand he is, he follows Machiavelli in appearing a social benefactor. It is instinct with him primarily—not calculation. There are a few men, whatever their practices, who do not instinctively desire to be called honorable and generous, and to be considered gentlemen. The world has so advanced since Machiavelli's days, too, that few men are so unconscious of the social obligations that they do not try to square themselves with God and man for what they take contrary to the legal or the moral code. But what may be instinct at first inevitably becomes a calculation as they grow in brigandage. They see it pays to be known as public benefactors. That such a reputation will keep the public silent longer than any other. That a great gift may often head off a legislative investigation. It is an application of Napoleon's wisdom: When the people are restive, "gild a dome," that is; give them something new to see and talk about, distract their attention; that done, their sense of injustice is soon asleep.—Mo Clare's Magazine. LE woman who manages just one man is doing a prodigious task, especially if he happens to be her husband. If he prefers his own fireside in the evening and she pines for pleasures outside the home; it will be a task to make him see the advantages, of making a toilet and doing escort duty. Under no other conditions would a reasonable woman enjoy herself. When he has a hankering for masculine cronies and their haunts—and the best men confess to such a weakness occasionally—it requires a deal of tact to see the su- T perlor attractions of home. Tact loosens the pursestrings of stingy men and closes the pockets of spen.thriffs; in fact, to get along comfortably with any person or set demands the exercise of this gift on somebody's part. I heard a woman boast of living in a family for two years and parting with the members on the friendliest terms, and she was not the best-tempered person in the world, she confessed. Somebody had to be forbearing, you see, and the natural inference is that there was tact somewhere in the family. The machinery could not run smoothly without it, for there was one bad-natured member, at least. Liberal Terms and Commission. ADDRESS THE HOME OFFICE, 468 West Broad St., Savannah, Georgia.

Gone are the tenants of that lonely hall, Blithe youth and lovely 'hope of yesterday, And careless Joy went caroling away; And Silence hung its banner on the wall. From lagging morn till eve the slow hours crawl, And sink, reluctant, to the tomb of night; The stors diffuse a faint, uncertain light, And the moon flames out—night's mournful sechal! Deserted, dim, are all the casements lone; Unheeled springs the rank and spreading grass; There comes no sound without of sigh or groan; There goes no sound without of feet that pass Yet, in a chamber lone, where ivies cling, Sits one within, named Love, remembering. —Evelyn Painney, in the Atlantic. WHO LEFT THE DOOR OPEN? BY MARY E. WILKINS. "Who left the pantry door open?" said Mistress Hapgood, sternly. She stood before them straight and tall in her indigo blue petticoat and short gown, with her black hair rolled back under a tiddy cap, and her black eyes flashing. Her cheeks were as red as roses. Mistress Hapgood was a handsome woman. The children, five of them—Priscilla being the eldest—looked up, at her, with apprehension. Somebody had left the pantry door open, and the cat got in and helped herself to a large piece of sparerib; it had happened several times before this, and now a severe penalty was to be the consequence. "Who left the pantry door open?" repeated Mistress Hapgood. "The one that did I must go without supper to-night." "The children looked at each other. Uncle Silas and Aunt Prudence Beals and two cousins were to sup with them that night, and there would be Johnny-cake toast made with cream, plum sauce, and pound cake for supper. It was a good deal to forego. Mistress Hapgood stood waiting, and the great white cat that had made all this trouble sat on the hearth washing her face. She had been shoved out with a broom, but had walked in again. At last Nancy, the youngest girl, broke the silence. "I saw Thomas coming out of the pantry," said she. Thomas, who was the very youngest of all, broke into a loud wall, and the tears rolled down his fat baby cheeks. "I didn't leave 'ee door open," he scbbed. "I didn't!" "What did you go, into the pantry at all for?" cheried his mother with severity. But Thomas only dipped his double chin into his pinafore and sobbed harder than ever. "Answer me!" repeated his mother, in a commending tone. Thomas checked out a word which Nancy interpreted. "He says he went into the pantry after a pancake," said she. "Thomas, go and stand in the corner," said Mistress Hangood. And little Thomas, still lifting up his voice, trudged across to the conner, and settled himself therein, with a teary face, to the wall. "Now," said Mistress Hapgood, "when did you see Thomas go into the pantry?" "This forenoon," answered Nancy, with a dubious lock. "This forenoon," repeated her mother. "Haven't you more sense than that, child? The whole family has been in since then. Now, stand in a row." The Hapgood children obediently foamed themselves into a line in front of the hearth. "Now, Priscilla," said Mistress Hapgood, "did you leave the pantry door open?" "No, ma'am," answered Priscilla, after a little hesitation. Her fair, sober face had a troubled look. "Polly, did you leave the pantry door open?" "No, ma'am." "Isaac, did you?" "Isaac, did you?" "No, ma'am." "Nancy?" "No, ma'am." "Thomas, did you leave the pantry door open?" "N—o, m—a'm!" wailed Thomas from his corner. And all the Hapgood children had denied leaving the pantry door open. The frown on Mistress Hapgood's face deepened. "One of you left the pantry door open," said she. "There is no one else who could have done it. I have been away and you children were alone in the house. One of you is telling a wicked fb." There was a dead silence. The children stole inquiring glances at each other, and rolled fearful eyes in their mother's direction. "Very well," continued Mistress Hapgood, "If one cannot confess, all must suffer. You must all go without your supper." Then Thomas' wall deepened, and some of the others joined in. Priscilla stood still looking at them. Mistress Hapgood, with her lips compressed and stepping very firmly, brought out the pound-cake, and cut it into squares, and portioned out the plum sauce. The thin Johhny-cakes were baking before the fire. Presently Priscilla went up to her mother, and pulled her indigo gown softly. "Mother!" she said. "What is it?" asked her mother, shortly. "I went into the pantry this afternoon. I might have left the door open." "Don't you know whether you did or not?" "I shouldn't wonder if I did," an- ered Priscilla, trembling. Just then there was a noise out in the yard; the company had come. "Well, you can go without your supper then," said her mother, hurriedly. "And you deserve a greater punishment for not telling me before." While the other children sat at the table with their elders, and ate the delicious Johnny-cake toast, the poundcake and the plum sauce, Priscilla sat in the corner and knitted on a blue yarn stocking. Her uncle and aunt, and cousins, and her father, Captain, had all been informed of the reason; and Priscilla hung her head over the stocking, and could scarcely see the stitches through her tears. They were almost through supper when Grandmother Elliot, Mistress Hapgood's mother, came in. She lived just across the yard. She spoke to them all; then she looked sharply at Priscilla. "What has the child done?" asked she. Mistress Hapgood related the story briefly. Grandmother Elliot looked surprised. "Priscilla did not leave the door open," she said. "I came over this afternoon after your balm of Gilead bottle. Adoniram cut his thumb, and I left the door open on purpose; it was smoky in there, and I was afraid it would make your new butter taste. I did not think of the cat. All the children were playing over in the field." Everybody looked at Priscilla. Then her father spoke up, and he could not have spoken more sternly to the soldiers whom he commanded, "What does this mean, Priscilla?" said he. Priscilla bent her face quite down to the blue varn stockings and wept. "Did you know that you did not leave the pantry door open?" he continued. "Yes—sir," gasped Priscilla. After the company had gone, her father proceeded to deal with her after the code of his day, and in accordance with his own convictions. He took down the birch rod, with which all the children were acquainted, and he bade Priscilla stand before him. "I want you to remember, daughter," said Captain Hapgood, "that a falsehood is a falsehood, for whatever cause it may be told." Then he brought down the birch rod several times over Priscilla's slender shoulders. Priscilla covered her face with her apron and cried softly. Captain Hapgood, after he had put away the birch rod, went up to her and drew the apron gently away. He was not a man given to endearments, but he kissed her solemnly on her fair girlish forehead. "The rod was for the falsehood, daughter," said Captain Hapgood; "and this is for thy kindness and self-sacrifice toward thy brothers an sisters." Mistress Hapgood was bustling around the heart. Presently she called Priscilla. "Draw up to the table and have your supper, child," said she. Mistress Hapgood had baked a fresh sheet of Johnny-cake that was thinner and browner than the others had been; she had skimmed more cream and dealt out a liberal dish of sauce. Priscilla sat up and partook. The taste of the food was very pleasant; her shoulder still tingled from the birch rod, and the distinction between the right and wrong of a doubtful action was quite plain to her mind.—Congregationalist and Christian World. A Pet Wild Turkey. In most communities there are certain persons who possess peculiar characteristics, habits and beliefs, and this is true of the long shore sportsman of the old mother State as of persons dwelling elsewhere. Many of the old-time sportsmen still carry and use their muzzle-loading guns, which cannot be displaced by more modern arms. They usually manage to bag a good many birds and other game, and this is chiefly due, it is believed, to their knowledge of the habits of the game. They seldom go out without finding something'. A story is told of one gunner who—if any of the shot should fall from his hands while loading his gun—will at once return home and make no further sort to hunt that day, believing, "as a ye, that those lost were his luck shot, and it would be useless for him to continue the hunt. Another, whom I call here "Captain Ret," is a sailor and all-round sportsman. He loves to tell of his adventures with his dogs and gun, and is seldom seen without them. He tells many, stories about the accuracy of Sweet Lips, his gun, and declares he can beat any man "a shooter for a turkey in the United States of Virginia." On the occasion of a turkey hunt near the Rappahannock River, Captain Peter claims to have shot a forty-pound wild turkey for which he was offered $4 cash. The gray whiskers on the turkey's breast were eighteen, inches long, and he had one wooden leg. Here Captain Pete gives a laugh that could be heard a half mile away. "Sar, he was the biggest turkey in the bunch of us, and four others besides, and all ate a sumptuous meal from one-half of his breast." Uncle Pete says he cannot account for that one wooden leg unless this turkey has been reriously owned by some one as a pet wild turkey.—Foost and Stream [Portrait of a man in formal attire, with a mustache and a bow tie, set against an oval background]. MR. CHAS. H. McCARTHY, ALBANY, GA. A few days ago cur city was graced by the presense of Mr. Charles H. McCarthy of Albany, Georgia. He only spent a few hours in the city, but during that, time his friend endeavored to make it very pleasant for him. Mr. McCarthy is one of the foremost young men of the state and is a prominent business man of Albany. By his conservative method, pleasing and affable manner, he has gathered around him scores of friends not only in Albany, but the entire state. The name "Charley McCarthy" is a synonym for all that is good, honest and straightforward, and his friends are never ashamed to honor him. At the recent session of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, he was signally honored by being unanimously elected as Grand Master of Exchequer of the Grand Lodge. To say that all administration of this position will be a success is only repeating the beliefs of every Sir Knight that voted for him and all of his other friends. Other nonons seem to be awaiting Mr McCarthy. Recently a number of his admirers are booming him for the Grand Secretaryship of the District Eighth Annual Session SUCCESSFUL GATHERING OF THE GRAND CHAPTER O. E. S. A Large Number of Delegates Were Present — Reception Cordial and Hundreds of Dollars Reported. The eighth annual communication of the Grand Chapter Order of the Eastern Star was held last week in Atlanta. The well arranged lodge rooms of the Masons of Atlanta were filled at each of the sessions with delegates and interested members of the order. The meeting was opened on Tuesday morning by the Royal Grand Matron, Mrs. Viola E. Hart, of Americus. The beautiful opening ceremony of the O. E. S. was had and every one joined in heartily. After the opening a committee on credentials was appointed, after which a recess was taken to allow the committee time to prepare its report. This report showed that nearly every chapter in the state was represented. The approval of the report having been made, the regular order of business was gone into. The minutes of the last grand communication were read and approved and the several committees were appointed. The Royal Grand Patron's address was read and favorably received. It was referred to the committee on grand officers' reports. The report of the Royal Grand Mhtron, Mrs. Hart, contained many interesting things for the rite and showed that she had labored faithfully and efficiently during the year for the benefit of the rite. Mrs. Mary L. Ayers, the popular Grand Secretary, rendered a report resplendent in every phase and which showed the excellent financial and physical condition of the Grand Chapter. The report of the Grand Treasurer, Mrs. Nellle Hardy, showed a large balance in the treasury. Immediately after the reports of the officers the various committees were set to work preparing reports. So systematic and practical were the business matters of the Grand Chapter conducted that at the afternoon session all of the business had been attended to except the reports of committees. Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows. If this is done, it would be the means an restoring full confidence in the order in this state. If Mr. McCarthy consents, to the use of his name, his friends all over the state would go immediately to work and carry such a delegation to Macon next year and will have him elected as easily as no was G. M. of E. in July. Mr. McCarthy is a gentleman of means. He has a beautiful home with lovely young daughters. To prove that he stands well at his home, the following excerpt from the Albany Herald, the leading daily paper of that section, after his election in July, speaks for itself: "A telegram was received in the city this morning from Macon announcing that G. H. McCarthy, a well known colored citizen of Albany, had been honored by the colored Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of Georgia, which is now in session in Macon, by being elected to the important position of Grand Master of the Exchequer. The colored Knights displayed wisdom in selecting McCarthy for this important position. He enjoys the confidence of all who know him, white and colored, and will discharge the duties of his office with satisfaction to the Knights and with credit to himself." A. M. E. Church the welcome exercises were held. The church was well filled with the members of the rite and visiting friends. The ceremony was conducted by Deputy Grand Patron S. M. Mincey. The program as arranged was carried out fully and elicited the applause of the hearers. The annual address by Grand Master N. R. Butler was a gem of thought and practical advice. The good doctor was extended unstinted commendation for the address. All of the other participants did well their parts. The last dinner session was Wednes. The last day of the session was Wednesday. The Grand Chapter was called to order and immediately the committees rendered their reports. After the approval of the report of the committee on memorials, the Grand Chapter was turned over to Royal Patron W. E. D. Griffin, who presided during the memorial service, which was an appropriate one. At the termination of the reports, and of unfinished and new business, the gavel was given to Royal Patron J. H. Babcock, who presided during the election. The Grand Royal Patron, Grand Royal Matron, Grand Secretary and Grand Treasurer were re-elected by a unanimous vote. The following were the officers elected: Sol C. Johnson, Royal Grand Patron. Mrs. Viola E Hart, Royal Grand Matron. Mrs. J. C. Miller, Royal Grand Associate Matron. Mrs. Dora Cooper, Grand Conductress. Mrs. Mattie Freeman, Grand Associate Conductress. Mrs. Mary L. Ayers, Grand Secretary. Mrs. Nellie Hardy, Grand Treasurer. The appointed officers will be published next week. The officers were installed by Grand Master H. R. Butler, after which the officers extended thanks to the Grand Chapter for the honors conferred. The interesting closing exercises were then held, after which the "Farewell" was spoken, and each delegate gave expression as having attended a most successful session. In point of attendance the session was the largest ever held. From reports over a thousand dollars were expended during the year for charity. A large number of chapters were warranted, and the membership has increased wonderfully. The endcwment system is being successfully conducted. The grand session of 1905 increased the benefit by fifty per sent. The Grand Chapter has nearly three thousand dollars in its treasury. By the next Grand Chapter meeting, this meeting will be increased to a great extent. The business-like administration of the officials of the rite is the cause of the healthy condition of the finance. Since 1903 the Grand Chapter has received over $133 as interest on its deposits, and too from a colored savings bank, The Wage Earners, at Savannah. The citizens, of Atlanta, and especially the officers and members of the several chapters, did everything to make the session a success socially and otherwise. On Wednesday evening the citizens tendered the Grand Chapter a reception. It was largely attended. The program consisted of papers, addresses, music, etc. The well known brother, E. B. Gibson, was master of ceremonies. The banquet table was filled with good things, to which justice was fully done. The Chapfers of Atlanta have a hearty vote of thanks for the courtesies extended. The next session will be held in Americus, and the officers expect each chapter to send a representative so that a glorious session may be had. But it is expected that in sending delegates the chapters must remember that it is a female institution and they must be given the preference. Atlanta and Its Citizens THE CAPITAL OF THE EMPIRE STATE OF THE SOUTH. Georgia is truly the "Empire State of the South," and Atlanta the foremost city thereof. Years ago the Equitable was its tallest building; today several buildings that have dwarfed the Equitable have been erected and stand as a monument to push and energy. Atlanta's hustle is contagious—the drones are all ruined in the rush. To the colored man with any self-respect and pride of race, the Jim crow street cars of Atlanta and the terminal station with its slide entrance are things that he regrets and which unnillate him most. Take away these two blots and Atlanta may be more tolerable. But cur people are progressing there, despite all hindrances. Decatur street with its dives and constant stream of those who are sopped in vice, is still in evidence and dragging down the unwary and carrying in its meshes many a young boy and girl who would otherwise be ornaments to the race. The Y. M. C. A. for our men is quite an offset/ for the dens of vice, and it is doing much to give inspiration for good to our young men. This kind of atmosphere is spread by the several institutions of learning for which the city is noted. It was our pleasure to greet Dr. J. S. Flipper, D. D., the very able and successful president of Morris Brown College. The good doctor was at his post of duty and the cordial way in which he greeted us stamped him the great man that he is, with a heart full of goodness and a head with brains that place him as an equal of the foremost educators in the country. Dr. Flipper is a power for good in this state, and his connection is extremely blessed by having such a man, and should give him unstinted honor, and this can be done in no better way than by promoting him to the bishopric at the next General Conference. Georgia should go solidly for Flipper. One of Atlanta's foremost citizens is Dr. N. R. Butler, who is Most Worshipping Grand Master of Masons of the State. To know Dr. Butler is to love him. He is not inconsistent in his teachings, for he practices stricly what he teaches. He is an exemplary citizen and a safe leader of his people. The doctor is blessed by a number of most loyal admirers and friends, but especially by having as a helpmate a lady who is truly a wife and who seconds him and encourages him in all of his efforts for upliftment. Mrs. Butler is indeed a model lady, cultured and refined. No one can visit their home without being touched with the wonderful inspiration for all that is good. The pride of this home is Henry R. Butler, Jr., who is also the favorite of those around him. Our stay in Atlanta was made extremely pleasant by the many courtesies shown us by many of our friends. We will not forget our old friend, W. J. (Bill) White, Jr., the well known nall carrier, Mr. George W. Tate, E. R. Drakeford, the loyal Savannahlan, Mr. W. H. Briscoe, Messrs. Martin, Westmoreland and others, who made it so pleasant for us on Tuesday night. And, too, Messrs. W. H. Burgess, C. P. Cochran, W. C. Cody, A. H., Reynolds, W. J. Moore, T. B. Kelly, M. McNair and many more, not counting the many hospitalities which we were compelled to refuse on account of numerous engagements We cannot forget our friend, L. L. Lee, who extended several courtesies, and to our friend, Cochran, for the use of his turnout. The popular W. C. Thomas was not behind in the matter of entertaining us. He made our last hours in Atlant very pleasant at his cozy home; among several friends. W. C. Thomas, Jr., is the light of this home, which is graced by a madam who honors the home. The home of the Maxwells at Decatur was visited, but to our regret Mrs. Maxwell, Mrs. Durham, little Clara and Leigh had left a few days prior for Toccoa; leaving Miss Louise and little May behind, but who joined them last Saturday. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society of Savannah has opened office at 51 1-2 South Broad street and has as its superintendent Mr. C. P. Cochran, a gentleman who has the confidence and respect of all the citizens of Atlanta. In his endeavors Mr. Cochran will succeed, for as an asset he has character and the confidence of the people. THE NATIONAL GRAND MASTER OF THE ODD FELLOWS. Six of the eight lodges of Odd Fellows of the city have elected delegates to the B. M. C. which meets in Richmond, Va., next October. The united vote of the local delegation, as well as the bulk of the state of Kentucky, will be cast for Grand Director W. L. Houston for the office of National Grand Master. Mr. Houston is a native of Kentucky, and most capably represents the state in the War Department at Washington, and has made an enviable record as Grand Director. He is full of energy, is resourceful to the last degree, and as a skilled parliamentarian, he has no superior in the entire order. Many states have already declared their preference for him for Grand Master, and indications point to his election by a handsome majority. The choice would indeed be a most satisfactory one at all sections. — From American Baptist, Louisville, Ky. We clip the above from the American Baptist, which shows the way Kentucky will vote for Grand Master. The nine Cdd Fellow lodges of Vicksburg have elected and will send delegates to Richmond, Va., and unless they do their lodges like Judas did Christ, they will all vote against Rev. E. P. Jones for Grand Master. It seems that the bulk of the Vicksburg delegates will vote for Geo. E. Temple of St. Louis, Mo., who is now the Deputy Grand Master and it is claimed that he is the logical candidate to succeed the present Grand Master. Mr. Houston will get some votes from Mississippi. The leading Odd Fellows of Mississippi have soured on Rev. E. P. Jones. He is a man who is by no means qualified to fill the position with credit Thete will be less than one hundred delegates go from this state to the B. M. C. at Richmond and a majority of them will oppose Rev. E. P. Jones, for Grand Master and also for Grand Director. The Mississippi delegates will give a good account of their stewardship. They will see to it that Jones is not elected Grand Master or Grand Director. After the B. M. C. is over they will come home and help get him out of the position District Grand Master of Mississippi. A man who fails to get out minutes of the District Grand Lodge, so that the bothers may know the condition of the order, is unfit to be Grand Master of anything else. Rev. E. P. Jones will meet with a crushing defeat at Richmond, Va., in October. And then the water which flows from the fountain of "Friendship, Love and Truth" will become as pure and as clear as crystal and we'll be hearty Odd Fellows.-The Light. Convention at Colorado Springs Disc cusses Plans for 8-Hour Day: The fifty-second annual convention of the International Typographical Union of North America began in Colorado Springs Monday. Mayor Henry C. Hall and other prominent citizens welcomed the three hundred delegates, who represent 46,000 union printers, and President Lynch of the union responded. The chief event of the day was the formal presentation of books to the Amos M. Cummings library at the Union Printers' Home, which is located in the city. The chief business before the convention is the consideration of plans for carrying on the fight for an eight-hour day. About $800,000 has been expended by the organization up to date in conducting this fight. TELLER GONE; SHORTAGE FOUND Investigation of Paducah Bank Reveals Crooked Dealings. Rumors of irregularities, coupled with the unaccountable absence of Phil J. Abbott, teller of the American-German Bank, of Paducah, Ky., caused an investigation of the bank's affairs by the officials with the result that a shortage of $7,300 in the reserve was found. ANOTHER BANK VICTIM GOES. Man Who Lost His All In Wrecked Institution Hangs Himself. At Chicago Mounday another suicide was added to the list caused by the wrecking of the Milwaukee Avenu State bank. Edward Kollereb, 45 years of age, who two months ago deposited $250 in the bank, hanged himself from a pile of lumber in sight of a number of men in bouts on the loke.

SATURDAY, AUGUST, 25, 1906. The mantle of charity is an excellent thing to use. It lends encouragement to the troubled ones and shows broadness in the one that extends it. Hoke Smith has won the governorship in a landslide. In his campaign he appealed mainly to passion and prejudice and succeeded in carrying a class of voters that believed his way. In behooves our young men and others who are holding places of trust to be very careful in their actions. This should be done because for the least wrong act the entire race is blamed. Similar acts by one of another race is generally minimized. QUITE a number of our business men will be represented at the National Business League Meeting in Atlanta next week. This is as it should be. Our people are making a good showing in the business world and they should prove the same by their appearance at gatherings like the above. DURING the week the colored citizens of Ohio have been holding an educational and industrial exposition at Dayton. Prominent leaders and speakers are in attendance. There is a graphical display at the exposition of the progress that has been made by Ohio Negroes in the past twenty-five years in the trades and professions. The exhibits are such that the colored citizens of Ohio, as well as the rest of us, may feel proud of them. LAST week a mob in South Carolina did not hesitate to lynch a Negro in the very presence of the Chief Executive of that State. As the state troops were encamped at Chick amauga, the mob found it easy to ignore the personal appeal of the Governor and lynch the prisoner. A pitiable spectacle! The Governor got a good look-at the mob and ought to be able to bring the leaders within the clutches of the law. In the Sunday Morning News appeared a rather interesting appeal from the W. C. T. U., (white,) to the colored ministers of Savannah. In part it says: "Your race is rapidly growing in independence and and to you ministers and teachers it is given to see that the moral and spiritual opportunities of your people keep pace with their material advancement. Social and intellectual centers, where your young men and boys could gather for study, conversation, music, and so satisfy the natural longing of the human heart for society, in places where the good of them would be strengthened and encouraged. The time is ripe, the need is great and we believe the way would be opened if you make an earnest and determined effort." The appeal contains a helpful sentiment and we are glad to note that the W C T U, is interested in the uplift of the unfortunate class in our midst. The Men's Sunday Club is working along this line now. However, other organizations would do well to consider the matter, and to them we recommend the appeal. In his speech last Monday night in the park extension, Hon. W. G. Brantley, speaking against the proposed scheme to disfranchise the Negroes, declared that no State can arbitrarily take the ballot from any citizen, white or black; that he as a Negro cannot be deprived of his vote, unless the War Amendments are annuled; and that as this nullification will not likely happen, the white citizens of Georgia should be contented with existing conditions. Mr. Brantley expressed a strong belief that the grandfather clause and other subterfuges would be declared illegal by the Supreme court, if that body should be called on to pass upon them. In the main Mr. Brantley's position as regards this question does not differ from Hon. Fleming of Augusta, who has repeatedly argued against such falla- cious and unjust schemes. It is our hope that at some time in the near future the question as to how far a State may go in qualifying the suffrage amendments shall be unmistakably answered by the Supreme Court of this Nation, and that the answer shall be in keeping with the great idea of freedom and fraternity. THE GEORGIAN of Atlanta has been working itself into a frenzy during the last week on account of the several assaults recently near Atlanta. The assaults are to be deplored and no one regrets them more than the colored people, not only of Atlanta, but elsewhere and they would readily join in bringing the guilty ones to a speedy justice. The Georgian has issued a ban against all classes of colored leaders, and declares that no show will be given them until they assist in hunting down the accused ones. The colored people will not for a moment tolerate a criminal, but it must not be expected of them to turn detectives in this respect The state, county and city governments have officers selected and paid for this duty and they should perform their duty faithfully and efficiently and in doing so the colored citizens will give them all the moral support possible. Crime is but crime, and we deplore the crime against womenhood the most, but if Mr. John Temple Graves would admonish his people to respect and obey the law against lynching more, possibly it would have a deterrent effect upon those accused of the numerous assaults. It is known that crime begets crime, and if one class of citizens is lawless it will undoubtedly effect the other class. Let the white citizens show their love for law and order and it would be a lesson that would be listing with every class of our people. Again, as-colored citizens of this great State we need the moral assistance of the race represented by Mr. Grayes He will admit that those of our people who are accused of the awful crime of assault are among our lowest class, a class without the least education The cause of this condition is limited educational facilities for our people in the State; for instance, in Savannah alone there are nearly five thousand colored children who are unable to enjoy the benefits of the public schools on account of there being no room for them. The parents of many of them are unable to send them to private schools, hence they are allowed to grow up in ignorance and many in crime. This is the class to be regarded, especially the thousands of unfortunate ones in the State who are growing up in ignorance Get rid of this ignorance by a good dose of schooling and it is assured that crimes will lessen. In the meantime Mr. Graves and all others will find the leading colored men of every calling ever ready and ever willing to frown down crime and not protect the guilty ones either. More than half the school vacation has passed. The ring of the school bell will soon be heard and in pursuance of its call hundreds of children in this city and elsewhere will be seen wending their way throughout the streets to the school buildings. The usual rush can be avoided and valuable time saved if parents and pupils will begin now to make ready for the opening. It is not too early to begin now. As is usually the case, hundreds of our children will be turned away from the schoolhouses for want of adequate facilities This is a serious matter and should so be considered by the Board of Education. Although our population is larger we pay more taxes, conduct more business enterprises, and contribute to the city's growth and prosperity in several ways, our school facilities to day are just about what they were four or five years ago, when agitation on the part of THE TRIBUNE resulted in a slight but helpful addition. Our citizens should come together at this time and agree upon some course of action for the future. If it is impossible to secure another public school, the establishment of a private institution might be encouraged At any rate, let the plan and preparation begin now. Educational Meeting Atlanta, Ga. The gathering is expected to be a large one, and in fact the public is invited to be present. The appended program bespeaks the scope of the meeting and class of participants: This meeting is heartily approved by THE TRIBUNE and it is hoped that the attendance will be large. Following is the program: 1 Song, "How vain are all things here below." Read Rev. G. E. Nolley, B. D, Pastor St. Paul C. M. E Church, Sav'h. 2 Prayer Rev. D. W. Cannon, Pastor Beth-Eden Bapt.

The service held on Sunday last at St. James Tabernacle may be correctly spoken of as a continuation or a sequel to those of the preceding Sabbath. As on the former occasion a large and appreciative gathering of working men and women assembled to add their quota to the great effort that has been inaugurated for the protection of the Negro and to insure legal advice when deemed necessary. After singing and prayer by Rev. Ashby, the pastor Rev. Dr. Brockett stated the object of the meeting emphasizing more particularly the legal definition of what constitutes a "VAGRANT" and suggested to his hearers the best means to be employed to prevent a continuation of the law as now enforced, with regard to the Negro. Appropriate remarks touching upon the present issue were muddy by Megara. Richard Barnes. L. S. Reed, Geo S. Williams and F. M. Bell. A large collection was received and will be appropriated to the funds for the securing of legal advice and protection. Resolutions as appended were read by Dr. N. W. Este: To the citizens of Savannah and public at large: We, a portion of the working men and women of Savannah, in public mass-meeting assembled, have observed with deep concern and regret that a number of industrious and hard-working men have been placed under arrest on the charge of vagrancy by the officers of the law, and. Whereas these men were arrested without warrant or any process of law except the arbitrary will of the arresting officer, and Whereas such usurpation of authority by the city police operates to make the homes of colored citizens insecure from police invasion, and Whereas the work and worth of the worthy, honest, hard-working Negroes in the upbuilding of the city entitles them to full enjoyment of constitutional rights and benefits of city ordinances, and Whereas the honesty and faithfulness of many of those people to the interest of their employers have been proven through many years of constant service, be it therefore Resolved that we view with regret this wholly unwarranted and unprovoked legal hardship which the city authorities have seen fit to visit upon this worthy but humble class of citizens. Be it further Reso ved that as men and women with the same community of interests that the same right inheres in us as a class to price our skill and strength used in the dexterous performance of manual work as it does in the merchant, lawyer or doctor in pricing their wares or services to customer, client or patient; be it further Resolved we wholly and thoroughly condemn that form of municipal government which either sanctions or allows such outrage to be perpetrated in the name of the law—the original and amended law being wholly to the contrary of that now administered. Be it further Resolved that as citizens we are in full and heartiest accord with the rigid enforcement of law in all of its branches which will drive out vagrancy and crime of all kinds from the city; recognized the lazy gambling and vagrant Negro to be the greatest hindrance to our progress as a people and be it further Resolved, that we request the pastor of each colored congregation of Savannah to make an accurate roll of all the working members of their church, and the kind of work they do and send the same to the Union Saving and Loan Co., State St. W., City, by Friday Aug. 24th and be it further Resolved, that when one's home become unsafe from police invasion, said homes being conducted in a peaceful and orderly way, it becomes our highest duty to adopt all orderly and legal measures to protect them and their inmates.

Words of Encouragement To the Negro Business League of Savannah, Georgia: "On retiring from my labor Thursday night, I mentioned you brethren and gentlemen in my prayer. Whilst I was resting on my couch these encouraging words came to me, which read as follows: 'Where there is a ghost of a chance, never give up till you give up the ghost.' This is my motto and you should adopt the same. If the ring of enthusiasm and purpose conveyed in this number strike a responsive chord in your business, then by that token, we are "affinities" and should get together. I can think of no closer tie than a pleasant business relationship that is mutually profitable. The door to the ideal friendship is open, so let us get together, you will never regret it. Every man should know a useful trade. It is the best assurance against poverty and want. It gives a sense of confidence and self reliance lacking in the man who merely drifts along like a rudderless ship. Have your son be taught a useful trade. you thereby give him an inheritance worth more than your estate in land or gold. Respectfully yours. W. H.

What women more adorable than those of Spain, so proud, so simple, so radiantly feminine? As a type, the Spanish woman of the South is unique. She is small and slender, exquisitely proportioned, with tiny but beautifully shaped hands and feet. Her face is oval, finely chiseled, frank and childish. . . . Her eyes are the mirror of her soul, dark, lustrous, pensive and passionate. . . . Her grace of carriage and deportment is the glory of her race.—Nineteenth Century. The Healthy Woman. Is careful to spend at least half an hour every day in the open air. Never rides where she can walk the distance comfortably. Doesn't waste her vitality in superfluous and energetic talking. Eats three meals a day at regular hours. Sleeps eight hours and as often as possible, two of them before midnight. Takes fifteen quiet minutes in a darkened room after luncheon. Begins each day with a cold bath, followed by drinking a glass of hot or cold water. Your Property. All you had before your marriage is still yours, and in most States you have also the sole ownership of that which you acquire after marriage. Your right minded husband will wish you to have your property stand in your name, that it may be free from the possible attachment of his creditors. If your property or part of it be real estate, remember that the law of the State in which real estate is situated governs all matters concerning it. All your property is subject to the laws of your domicile. Some States require a man to join in a deed of his wife's property, even though the property is really hers. Get legal advice on such points. It is seldom safe to be a party to the transfer of property without it.—Caroline J. Cook, in Good Housskeeping. Shun the Tale-Bearer. The fault-finding woman is ill-bred and to be avoided. She is the one who, while she criticises her breakfast, eats heartily of it. She objects to the style in which dinner is served, especially if she happens to live at a boarding house. Then she complains of the attention paid her bedroom. She is disgusted with the general appearance, and yet she is confidential with the landlady. She is usually a tale-bearer, and unless you wish to be mixed up in numerous quarrels you had better avoid her, says Woman's Life. Think how pitiful it is to see women of the fault-finding type—women who are making life a misery for everyone, but more particularly for themselves. Ask yourself if you are one of the fault-finding type and if so reform. Long Gloves Hurtful. Some of the French physicians are making a disturbance over the long, tight gloves! They enumerate all sorts of dreadful things to come from the continuance of this fashion—hands as red as a kitchen maid's, crows' feet, red faces, and even varicose veins and their attendant miseries; but whether women of fashion are skeptical or indifferent it is hard to say, for there seems to have been no falling off in the number of gowns designed especially to be worn with long gloves. There is a chance of escape from such ills in having the gloves made to order. Most Parisiennes do, because they are so fastidious in the matter of their handgear, and frequently, even with the most beautifully shaped hands and arms, there is a slight difference in size between the two hands, which is sure to bring about a misfit. The right hand being used so much more than the left, it is apt to require a half-size larger glove than its idle fellow. A Queen's Characteristics. The new Queen of Norway is probably the slimmest woman in her dominion. Her waist measures but seventeen inches, and she is so etheral in appearance that even in England, where the cult of thinness has as worshipers practically all the women of the kingdom and most of the men she is called rather too frail and delicate in appearance. Queen Maud was the tomboy member of King Edward's family and its brightest member as well. It was she who first nicknamed her brother, the late Duke of Clarence, Collars and Cuffs, a name which clung to him through life. She called her eldest sister, the Duchess of Fife, now called the Princess Royal, Her Royal Shyness, on account of that retiring lady's almost morbid dislike of appearing in public. And it was this merry princess who collected all the quoted sayings and doings of the royal family in a scrap book and labelled it "Things We Never Did or Said." As a girl the merry maid was her father's companion on his walks and rides, and this winter in her adopted country she has taken to skiing and skating with a zest which has delighted the loyal Norwegians who are very proud of their cold country's outdoor.sports. "In the Sweat of Thy Face." The other day I heard a formal matron rebuke her daughter for using the word "sweat." More than once a well-meaning friend has gently informed me that "perspiration" sounds more delectable. However, I will stick to "sweat," and I expect the Karnaygee Reform Spelling Association to indorse me, declares a correspondent of the New York Press. Now that our Skibo laird has started on his campaign of education there are many lines on which he might branch out. If he is to spell by ear, why not strike out word of the false modesty, not strike out words of the false modesty of "perspiration." Most of us have got past the stage of saying "limb" for the good old-fashioned "leg." Eventually we will call a spade a spade—but not yet. The greater part of society will have it that man lives "by the perspiration of his brow," or wears "a striped perspirer," yet we have got to the stage of removing the last trimming from the peek-a-boo waist. Surely, we are an inconsistent lot! What is Life Without Love? Is it worth having? Well, hardly. We may not be sentimental. We may be the most matter-of-fact person in the world. Unless we are very crabbed and very foolish, however, we must appreciate the help love proves in all walks of life. Without love would the tired mother care to sit up and work for her little one, tend on the alling child at night? Without love would the father be always anxious to get on in the world and be helped in his daily work by looking forward to the evening at home? Most of us know the difference love makes in the countenance of the engaged girl and man. Certainly the knowledge of it changes their outlook in every way, while love entirely alters the relations of a brother and sister. With it they are chums and take an interest in all that concerns one another. Without it they are strangers, probably, with the ordinary restrictions of good manners removed. No; even the most matter-of-fact among us must own that "tis love that makes the world go round," and certainly the unhappiest person in the whole community would be the one who was doomed to "life without love," were it possible to find any such.—Woman's Life. FRILLS or FASHION A bit of vivid green on the panama or other ecru-tinted straws forms a cool color combination that is very becoming to the clear brunette type. Tiny tots are very sweet in the Dutch-necked short-sleeved gowns, the Dutch-cut hair adding to the quaintness and beauty of their attire. A corselet skirt that is a bit unusual is made in box pleats that are stitched quite to the knees. Between the pleats at the bottom are stitched bands running horizontally. So general is the fashion for Empire designs that my lady is dressed in costumes that hint of those far gone days whether she is eating, sleeping, walking or motoring. Becoming millinery is as essential, if not more so, to the appearance of a woman than becoming gowns. And yet a woman seldom takes the pains with her hats that she does with her gowns. Unless you are straight of figure, not the least bit bent, do not wear a bolero, for the rounded back is almost sure to throw the coat outward just below the shoulders making an angle that is awkward in the extreme. The woman who hasn't as handsomely shaped a foot as she could wish will select a very wide ribbon for her ties but not too long, for instead of a trim bow that will conceal irregularities and a low instep she will have bows and ends that will call attention to her foot. Many people prefer to leave the fullness of the shirt waist free at the bottom to facilitate ironing. A piece of half-inch elastic cut the exact size of the waist and fastened with a hook and eye will be found a convenient way of drawing it snugly to place before putting on the skirt. Heavy linen and Irish, lace are combined in a handsome costume. The jacket is of the lace, with a border all- around of linen. Small notched revers and cuffs are also of linen, and the skirt is linen trimmed with bands of lace. A collar and girdle may be added of black or colored velvet, giving a very effective touch, but it would be prettier all in white. ALCOHOL IN GAS ENGINES. Only Slight Changes Needed in the Mechanism. It has been asserted that the farmers use more gasolene every year in small engines than do the owners of automobiles. We do not know whether the statement is true, but a great many people will have a chance next year to substitute alcohol for gasolene. It, as has been said, grain alcohol can be produced for ten cents a gallon in large quantities, it ought to retail for less than gasolene, which now costs from eighteen to twenty-two cents. Careful tests show that the same amount of power can be had from a given quantity of alcohol as from gasolene. One estimate makes it possible to get a horse-power from a pint of either per hour. Alcohol can usually be made to work in an engine intended for gasolene, but in building entirely new engines the designs will probably need to be modified in certain ways. The opinion is expressed by the Iron Age that the most important change that will be required will be in the cylinder and its intermediate parts. Other things being equal, the essential factor in determining the economy and efficiency of an explosive engine is the extent of compression that is possible with the mixture of vapor and air. This is greatly in favor of alcohol, since the compression can be carried much higher than with gasoline without danger of premature explosion. The same rule obtains here as in other explosives; guncotton is a comparatively harmless substance until closely confined. Compression in a gasolene engine ranges from forty-five to sixty pounds a square inch, varying according to the design and the rapidity of the cooling of the cylinder. A higher compression being possible with an alcohol mixture, the combustion is more perfect and the energy greater with equal volumes of gas. In all gas engines, except those of the throttling type, the cylinder is completely filled with the mixture during the stroke just preceding ignition. If the clearance were as small as in the ordinary steam engine the heat due to compression would be so great as to cause inflammation of the gas before the piston rod had reached the end of its stroke. To overcome this, the common gasolene engine is made with a clearance equal to one-fourth to one-fifth of the volume of the cylinder. This clearance will have to be reduced to meet the requirements of an alcohol mixture and obtain a higher compression before ignition by the spark takes place. In this country engines have not been designed for the use of alcohol, neither have endeavors been made to modify the ordinary engines for that purpose. The price of alcohol has been so excessive as to discourage and in fact prohibit its employment as a fuel for power purposes. There has been absolutely no incentive along that line. But much work has been done in this direction in Germany and France, where alcohol is cheap and engines using it are common. Shipping Fish Without Water. Consul-General Richard Guenther writes that experiments made in Germany in the transportation of live fish have demonstrated that fish can live out of water for days. The gills of fish are similar to the human lungs, and are constantly washed by water containing oxygen. The thin membrane, of the gills separates the blood in them, vitiated with carbonic acid, from the water containing oxygen, and the practical result is the same as with the human lungs. It had been noticed long ago that many kinds of fish could live out of water for some time provided that the gills remain wet. In order to keep the gills wet the evaporation of the moisture had to be prevented; for this purpose the fish were placed in an atmosphere thoroughly saturated with water vapor. An hermetically closed wooded box was filled with water to the depth of about one-third of an inch, or the bottom was covered with wet rags, which through evaporation kept the air in the box always saturated. The fish were placed in the box, which was then shut hermetically by the lid. Through a tube oxygen was introduced. Before entering the box the oxygen passed through several water bottles, which thoroughly saturated it with water vapor. In this way the fish are always in a pure oxygen atmosphere. The result of the experiments was surprising. Carp, tench, bleak and other fish remained in the box for from three to four days perfectly well. When they were then placed in water they swam about in a lively manner and appeared perfectly fresh. This mode of transportation is much more economical than shipping live fish in water tanks. By the letter method the weight of every shipment was ninety-three to ninety-six per cent. water. Scotland Yard. Scotland Yard, widely known as the headquarters of the London police, is a historical place, said to have been the site of a palace where kings of Scotland were received when they came to London. It is near the banqueting hall, Whitehall. The Scotch kings retained possession of it from 959 till the rebellion of William of Scotland. Milton, Sir Christopher Wren and other notables lived in Scotland Yard. He One Tree Can Grow Within Another. I enclose herewith a singular proof of your opinion as expressed in the accompanying cutting concerning the possibility of one tree growing inside another. My wife and I discovered this phenomenon while making a walking tour in Japan in 1895. As is usual with natural curiosities in Japan, there was a small shrine with stone Lawn Sprinkler. The advent of spring turns the thoughts of the amateur gardner to the rake and the hoe and other garden accessories.

The trees were so curious that we stopped and had a cup of tea and a gossip with the voluble old la.ldaady, while I made the accompanying sketch from a point of view from which it would have been difficult to have obtained a photograph on account of bad light. I obtained a photograph from the old woman, and I wrote up the data she gave me on the back of the photograph.

H., constructed two images to represent the principals at the Longworth-Roosevejt wedding. The groom wore a tall hat and long coat, while the representation of Miss Alice was perfect in the veil and wreath. The likeness was so good that several cameras were invoked to obtain permanent records of "the wedding at Hampton." Automatic Gaff Hook. Among the novelties of the season that will assist the angler to keep what belongs to him is the Lion gait, which an angler of Williamsport has devised and which seems to merit its name. Automatic Goof Hook Automatic Gaff Hook. The three parts or blades are so attached to the frame that when the centre one is touched by so much as the weight of a finger, the jaws close together with a snap and firmly hold the fish or frog or other captive. Lawn Sprinkler. The advent of spring turns the thoughts of the amateur gardner to the rake and the hoe and other garden accessories. A recent invention in the latter class is a lawn sprinkler, designed along practical lines. Most lawn sprinklers eject a solid stream that often damages the delicate plants; this sprinkler by a unique arrangement, breaks the stream as it leaves the nozzle into a fine spray. The frame is a tubular standard open at both ends and supported on ornamental legs. At the top is a cap shaped into a nozzle, the hose being attached to the end of the standard, the stream finding its way out through the nozzle. As the water leaves the nozzle it strikes a disc, supported by arms to the cap. On one side of the disc are a number of paddles, the force of the water against the paddles turning the disc. Connecting with the disc is a beveled ring extending around the sprinkler, grooves in the disc corresponding to the bevels on the ring. As the disc is turned by the stream it travels Sprays the Flowers Sprays the Flowers. around on the ring, carrying the nozzle and cap with it. It will be readily apparent that the water, by contacting with the disc, will be broken into a fine spray, causing no damage to the finest plants or flowers. Ugliest of Idols. This is a photograph of an East African idol which, according to connolseurs, has the proud distinction of being the ugliest in existence. Among the negro tribes the more THE LION hideous the idol the more sacred it is. The image portrayed in the accompanying illustration is one of the holiest and most valuable in all Africa and is credited with many miraculous powers. 1 Idols First. It is customary among the Yoruba natives to greet their deity as soon as they awake in the morning. They speak to no one till they have bowed to their idol. The converted Yoruba negroes retain this custom and bow the knee before God, thanking Him for His protection and asking His blessing during the new day —then they speak to the family. Good Colors For House It is not generally known—not even among painters—why certain tints and colors wear much better than others on houses, and the knowledge of just what tints are best to use is, therefore, rather hazy. One writer on paint, in a recent book, says that experiments seem to show that those colors which resist or turn back the heat rays of the sun will protect a house better than those which allow these rays to pass through the film. Thus red is a good color because it turns back, or reflects, the red rays, and the red rays are the hot rays. In general, therefore, the warm tones are good and the cold tones are poor, so far as wear is concerned. In choosing the color of paint for your house, select reds, browns, grays and olives which, considering the various stones these tints will produce, will give a wide range from which to choose. Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold yellows (like lemon), cold greens (like grass green, etc.), and the blues. It must be understood that no virtue is claimed for tints in themselves, irrespective of the materials used in the paint. Any color will fade, and the paint will scale off, if adulterated white lead or canned paint is used, but if one is careful to use the best white lead—some well-known brand of a reliable manufacturer—and genuine linseed oil, the warm tints mentioned above will outwear the same materials tinted with the cold colors. WHEN THE INDIAN UNBENDS. He Does Not Always Stalk Solemnly and Silently About. It would brighten up the red man's reputation if a few more frivolous pale faces could take an occasional meal with a group of Navajo Indians on their native Arizona heath, as did Julian A. Dlmock, a writer from Recreation. "When the dinner hour found us far from the shore," says he, "we often went to some nearby hogan, and joining the circle around the sage brush fire invited ourselves to dine with the family. Usually the dinner was of mutton, broiled over the coals on a gridiron improvised from pieces of heavy wire; ears of green corn roasted before the fire and a kind of ash cake made from corn ground with stones into a coarse meal, mixed with water and salt, wrapped in green husks and cooked in the ashes. "Often the Indians were like a group of children; jokes passed back and forth and every one laughed between mouthfuls. Some merriment over a remark that seemed to have concerned me led me to ask for a translation, which was: 'The woman says that one of the dogs has been carrying that stick you are using as a fork around in his mouth.' There was a single knife, and a family spoon did stirring duty in many cups, but the forks, being fingers, were individual. "An Indian seated opposite me, with grave expression and dignified demeanor, seemed like a character from one of Cooper's tales. I looked for the passing of a pipe of peace and an Indian oration, but when this noble red man lifted his hand it was to reach forward and tickle with a feather one of the children. He then quickly resumed his former attitude and assumed an expression of outraged innocence when accused by the tickled child." SHE HADN'T.

A ten days' trial of Postum Food Coffee has proven a means, in thousands of cases, of clearing up bad complexions. A Washn. young lady tells her experience: "All of us—father, mother, sister and brother—had used tea and coffee for many years until finally we all had stomach troubles more or less. "We were all sallow and troubled with pimples, breath bad, disagreeable taste in the mouth, and all of us simply so many bundles of nerves. "We didn't realize that coffee was the cause of the trouble until one day we ran out of coffee and went to borrow some from a neighbor. She gave us some Postum and told us to try that. "Although we started to make it we all felt sure we would be sick if we missed our strong coffee, but we were forced to try Postum and were surprised to find it delicious. "We read the statements on the pkg., got more and in a month and a half you wouldn't have known us. We were all able to digest our food without any, trouble, each one's skin became clear, tongues cleaned off and nerves in fine condition. We never use anything now but Postum. There is nothing like it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville." "There's a reason." THE PULPIT. AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY, SERMON BY DR. R. A. TORREY. 'New York City.'—The Rey, Reuben 'A. Torrey, D.D., the celebrated evangelist, preached Sunday morning. in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church. There was a large congregation, consisting almost entirely of strangers, only a very small percentage being members of the church. Dr. Torrey's subject was: "The Resurrection a Fact, not Fiction," and his text was I Cor. v:20: "But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of them that slent." He said: Last Sunday morning we said that the resurrection of Jesus was the most important event in history, and we said that if it could be proved to be a historic fact that everything essential to Christianity was proved, but that if, on the other hand, it could not be proved to be a historic fact, then everything essential to Christianity must go. We started out, without assuming anything as to by whom, or when, the gospels were written, to decide whether they were a record of facts, or merely fiction. First, we discovered that the four gospels were each an independent account, and we were driven to the conclusion that they were a record of actual occurrences. Next, we discovered that each bore the evidences of having been written by an eyewitness. It often happens that a witness tells his story so artlessly, with such an entire absence of any attempt to color it, that his testimony carries weight. We have not only one witness, but four, differing apparently in details (showing that they were not coached) but all agreeing in the essential facts, and each one's story bearing marks of artlessly, so that we were driven to the conclusion that the story of the four gospels was a record of actual facts beyond dispute. Sometimes the details of evidence are more conclusive than the direct evidence, because it is not the testimony of the witness, but of the truth that is sought. We begin here this morning, and we shall show that the narratives in the-Gospels prove conclusively that they are not fiction, but fact. One illustration: In St. John's account of Thomas' refusal to believe that the Lord had risen, notice what is said about the character of Thomas and the character of Jesus. How characteristic is Thomas' action and how characteristic is the rebuke of Jesus! When the other disciples tell Thomas that they have seen the Lord, he refuses to believe, and says, "I won't believe it until I see the prints of the nails in His hands." A week passes and the disciples, including Thomas, are gathered together, and Jesus suddenly appears again. He bids Thomas put forth his finger and thrust it into His side, and Thomas cries out, "My Lord and my God." And then Jesus introduces the tender rebuke. "Thomas, you ought to have believed before; but because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed; blessed are those who believe on sufficient evidence without sight." Is that made up? Is it a lie? If it is made up then the man who drew that picture of Thomas, without a word of explanation, and that picture of Jesus, is the greatest literary master of the centuries. It is not made up; it is the record of reality. Another illustration: When Peter said to Jesus (John xx1:21), "What shall this man do?" the Lord replied: "What is that to thee? Follow thou Me." The fishers had breakfasted on the shore, and Jesus had told Peter of Peter's coming crucifixion, and then starts down the shore and says, "Follow Me." And Peter, turning round as he goes, sees John following, and says: "Lord, you have told me what my future is to be. What will this man do?" Now, remember, all though the life of Jesus, as it recorded in the four Gospels, Jesus never answered questions of mere speculative curiosity. Peter wants to know another man's business, and Jesus says, "What is that to thee? You see that you obey." Is that made up, or it is reality? Is it a lie? Another illustration: In the same chapter Jesus asks Peter, "Lovest thou Me?" three times, and Peter was grieved because He asked him that question three times. Notice these words: "Peter was grieved because He said unto him the third time, Lovest thou Me?" Why was Peter grieved? John offers no explanation. But the Lord's thought went back to the court of Annas and Calaphas, where three times Peter had denied Him, and, if the narrative had been made up, this would have been explained. Have you ever noticed that the four Gods insist upon the fact that our Lord returned thanks in the breaking of bread? That is something we do three times every day, but I do not think that any one, in writing our lives, would put it on record. We simply return thanks as a matter of form, but when Jesus, in the breaking of bread, lifted up His heart and opened His lips, there was such a real drawing into the presence of God that no one at the table ever forgot it. When, after the walk to Emmaus, Jesus returned thanks, although they had not recognized Him before, notwithstanding that their hearts burned within them as He talked, the disciples knew Him. In a moment their eyes were opened, and they said: "It is the Lord; nobody else ever returned thanks that way." Is this a fiction? If one man wrote the story of the four Gospels, why should he put in all of these details without explanation? It is incredible; and that four should do so is absolutely unbelievable. How comes it? Because this is what occurred, and they told what they saw without realizing the significance of what they put down. Still another illustration: If a man were inventing the story of the Resurrection, why should he put in the fact that the little napkin "was wrapped together in a place by itself?" Who cares whether it was in a place by itself, or not? I do not know whether John knew the significance of it or not, but there is a significance in it that no fiction would contain. It showed that as Jesus arose, triumph over death and the grave, in the supreme moment of the world's history, there was no hurry, no haste, no excitement, but that, with the same majestic composure, the same divine sublimity, the same majestic calm that marked Him in the storm on the Sea of Galilee. He rises from the grave. He does not tear the handkerchief from His face and fling it across the room, but calmly unbinds His head and face, lays it aside in a place, by itself and passes out of the sepulchre. Is that made up, and put in without a word of explanation? Never. We have read not a picture, but facts, with a detail here and another there, of which the writer, apparently, had no conception of the meaning but simply wrote what he saw. There is only one conclusion: The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the best proved fact in history. There is only one really strong argument against it, and that is that no one else was ever raised from the dead. The answer to that is that the life of Jesus was unique. His mission and nature and character were all unique and it was only to be expected that the issue of that life would be unique. It is impossible for any man of loyal mind, or who has had any experience of evidence, who wants to know the truth, to sit down before the four Gospels and take them up, point by point, examine the statements and thoroughly sift the evidence, to come to any other conclusion than that Jesus Christ actually arose from the dead, as recorded in the four Gospels. What of it? Everything. If Christ rose again then Christianity is no longer a system of abstract divinity, but a gospel of proven facts, and everything that you and I have been taught to believe, and that is dear to the Christian heart, and the glory of the life to come, is an absolute certainty. Seeking to Save. Christ is in all His redeemed, as the soul of their soul, the life of their life. He is the plying heart and the helping hand of God with every needy, praying spirit in the world. He is the sweet light of the knowledge of God that breaks in upon every penitent heart. He is not only with those who believe in Him and love Him, but also with those who neither believe in Him nor love Him, that He may be to them also Jesus their Saviour. The Christ of God is in thy heart, waiting and alming to get the consent of thy will, that He may save thee. Wherever man is, there also is Christ, endeavoring to free him from the law of sin and death, by becoming Himself the law of the spirit of his life—John Pulsford. 'The Way to Success. The men whom I have seen succeed best in life have always been cheerful and hopeful men who went about their business with a smile on their faces, and took the changes and chances of their normal life like men facing rough and smooth alike as it came, and so found the truth of the old proverb, that "good times and bad times and all times pass over."—Charles Kingsley. A Continuous Praying. Avoid diligently those false and deceptive thoughts which say, wait a little, I will pray an hour hence; I must perform this or that. For, with such thoughts a man quits prayer for business, which lays hold of and entangles him, so that he comes not to pray the whole day long.—Martin Luther. You can tell how much a man means his prayers by the way he gets out and pushes things after the meeting. The best evidence of your own salvation is your interest in that of others.

J., says: "I had kidney trouble in its most painful and severeform, and the torture Iwent through now seems to have been almost unbearable. I had backache, pains in the side and loins, dizzy spells and hot, feverish headaches. There were bearing-down palms, and the kidney secretions passed too fortune went through now seems to have been almost unbearable. I had backache, pains in the side and loins, dizzy spells and hot, feverish headaches. There were bearing-down pains, and the kidney secretions passed too frequently, and with a burning sensation. They showed sediment. I became discouraged, weak, languid and depressed, so sick and weak that I could not keep up. As doctors did not cure me I decided to try Doan's Kidney Pills, and with such success that my troubles were all gone after using eight boxes, and my strength, ambition and general health is fine."

BABY COVERED WITH SORES. Would Scratch and Tear the Flesh Unless Hands Were Tled—"Would Have Died But For Cuticura." "My little son, yhen about a year and a half old, began to have sores come out on his face. I had a physician treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad I had to tie his hands in clothes at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. My aunt advised me to try Cuticuta Soap and Ointment. I sent to the drug store and got a cake of the Soap and a box of the Ointment, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores or any kind since. He is now strong and healthy, and I can sincerely say that only for your most wonderful remedies my precious child would have died from those terrible sores. Mrs. Egbert Sheldon, R. F. D.

Speak approving, cheering words while their ears can hear them," says Dumb Animals, "and while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier by them; the kind things you mean to say when they are gone, say before they go. The flowers you mean to send for their coffins, send to brighten their homes before they leave them. If my friends have alabaster boxes laid away, full of fragrant perfumes of sympathy and affection, which they intend to break over my dead body, I would rather they would bring them out in my weary and troubled hours, and open them, that I may be refreshed and cheered by them while I need them. I would rather have a plain coffin without a flower, a funeral without an eulogy, than a life without the sweetness of love and sympathy. Let us learn to anoint our friends beforehand for their burial or cremation. Post mortem kindness does not cheer the troubled spirit. Flowers on the coffin cast no fragrance backward over life's way." DAMAGING EVIDENCE. The Young Man—And do you really love me? The Pretty Girl—Of course I do, George.

A municipal law cannot be enacted, according to the state supreme court, which will exclude the sale of domestic wines, although the sale of intoxicating liquors can be prevented. The decision was made in the case of Duren vs. Stephens, of Thomasville. It is held that a municipality can prevent the sale of intoxicating liquors, but this cannot include domestic wines, the sale of which is authorized by general law. --- Governor Praises State Troops. Governor Terrell, as commander in chief of the national guard of Georgia, has issued a circular praising the state troops for their conduct at the national army maneuvers at Camp Chickamauga. The chief executive calls attention to the improvement of the troops, and requests every member in the service of the state to advance the standard of efficiency.

Ryals, a director of the McRae bank, arrived and identified the prisoner. --- State Road a Money Maker. That the gross earnings per mile of the Western and Atlantic railroad for the past year were more than three times that of the Southern, nearly 80 per cent more than that of the Alabama Great Southern, nearly 100 per cent more than that of the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern, and nearly three times that of the Central of Georgia, is the interesting information contained in the report of the committee to inspect the state road, whence was filed with the general assembly on the day of adjournment. Bound Over On Peonage Charge A. Q. Campbell, A. L. Bradshaw and W. G. Matthews were bound over in $1,000 bond each by United States Commissioner Brown at Columbus on a charge of peonage. These men are superintendents, general foreman and commissary of the Atlanta-Birmingham Construction Company, contractors of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic. The charges were preferred by A. J. Hoyt, special agent of the United States. Complaint was made by a number of laborers who were brought from New York some time ago and they obliged that they were unlawfully detained by threats. Advance Notice to Corporations All domestic or foreign corporations doing business in Georgia who fall to make their returns to the secretary of state by November 1 will be amenable to a penalty of $50. The provisions of the bill, which was passed by the general assembly, provides that all corporations must make full certified statements to the secretary of state who will be exofficio.commissioner of corporations in regard to their business, name, location, capitalization, etc. The blanks for the statements can be secured from the secretary of state. The returns for the first year will be $1, and 50 cents for each subsequent year. Three sections of the state are prepared to take immediate steps to establish agricultural schools, according to Governor Terrell. One application comes from the southeastern portion of the state, one from the southwestern and one from the northern part of the state. Governor Terrell states that the net amount realized by the state from inspection fees amounts to about $66,000 annually, so that should an agricultural school be established in each of the eleven districts there would be a fund of about $6,000 for the support and maintenance of each school. Should no such school be established in any district within a year after the passage of the act, the pro rata share of the fund which would go for the establishment of a school will go into the common school fund of said district. Back Taxes Go To Augusta. Upon the grounds that the principal offices of the Georgia Railroad Company are located in Augusta, the state supreme court has decided that Richmond county and the city of Augusta alone are entitled to the award of back taxes on the 15,000 shares of stock of the Western of Alabama railroad, which are owned by the Georgia railroad. The decision declines to allow a pro rata division of the award among Greene county and the other counties and cities which contended for a proportionate share because the Georgia railroad was operated through their counties and cities. The decision, which is a far-reaching one, involves a question of $750,000, and determines that the location of a property is where its principal offices are. . . . The Corn and Cotton Contest. One of the attractive features of the state fair will be the corn and cotton contest by school boys. The fair has offered $500 in prizes for the best ten cars of corn and the best five stalks of cotton grown by a school boy on a sixteenth of an acre. There will be ten prizes for corn and ten for cotton, the first prize in each being $75. The contest was inaugurated by the State university to encourage the study of these two important crops of the state by the boys, and through them to enlist the study of the same by the parents. The county school commissioners in a number of counties have co-operated in this important study and they have sent me over 800 names of boys who have entered the contest. The local contests will be held the first week in October, so that the exhibits may be then shipped to Atlanta to contest for the state prize. We want pictures of all the prize winners and of their county exhibits to go in our next bulletin for 1907, twenty thousand copies of which we expect to issue and distribute to the schools and farmers' clubs of the state. Next year we want 3,000 boys to enter the contests. We must get back of the strong, manly, courageous country boy and give him the best thought relating to the farm and let him catch the inspiration coming from intelligent farming. Agriculture has taken its rightful place among the studies of schools and colleges and the entire farming class will be uplifted. The boys' corn and cotton contests will be a potent influence in this development-J. S. STEWART. BILLION SPENT BY CONGRESS. Chief Clarks of Senate and House Make Their Report. According to a statement just issued at Washington by Thomas P. Cleaves and James C. Courts, chief clerks, respectively, of the senate and house committees on appropriations, congress, at its last session, appropriated for the fiscal year of 1907 nearly a billion dollars. The exact amount is $879,599,1-5.16, representing an increase of $58,404,560.20 over the sum appropriated the last session of the fifty-eighth congress for 1906. The largest item is contained in the appropriation for the postoffice department, the amount allotted being $191,695,998.75. The next largest, sum was given for pensions, the money appropriated amounting to $140,245,500, or nearly twice as much as was allowed for the support of the army, and over $40,000,000 more than was granted for the naval establishment Of the net increase of $59,404,550.20 over 1906, it is stated $42,447,201.08 was for the 1sthmian canal, the balance being accounted for through the appropriations for the carrying out of the meat inspection law, the contin uance of contracts for river and harbor work, the reorganization of the diplomatic and consular service, and the extension of the rural free delivery service. UNION REDUCEB ASSESSMENT, Printers Declare the Eight-Hour-Day Eight is Practically Won. With the declaration that the fight for the eight-hour day is as good as won, the fifty-second annual convention of the Typographical Union in session at Colorado Springs voted to reduce the strike assessment from 10 per cent to 8 per cent of the wages of the employed printers. At this time 38,960 members are working eight hours, 2,556 are under a nine-hour contract and 6,709 are on strike. The expense of the strike to date has been approximately $1,600,000, all of which, with the exception of $47,715, has been contributed by members working under undisturbed conditions. It was decided that the sum allowed members on the strike roll be not in excess of $7 a week for single men and $10 for married men. LAW TAKES ITS COURSE.

Hood, was tried before Judge Kimssey, quickly found guilty and as promptly sentenced to be hanged on September 10th next. No Let Up in Appeals to Have Negro Troops Removed. CULBERSON TAKES HAND Senator Wires War Department That Unless Action Is Taken Immediately Something Will Be Doing In His Section. Following a further appeal from the officials and citizens of Brownsville, Texas, United States Senator Charles A. Culberson has again appealed to the war department for prompt investigation and immediate action in the situation in the southwest Texas city. He sent a telegram Sunday to General Ainsworth of the war department, urging telegraphic communication with the commanding officer at the post, and a removal of the troops from Fort Brown, deeming this the only means of bringing peace. His telegram to the war department is as follows: "Dallas, Texas, August 19.—General F. C. Alnaworth, War Department, Washington, D. C.—Since the receipt of your telegram yesterday, officials and citizens of Brownville have wired me again to the effect that there is danger of further riot and bloodshed at Brownville unless the negro troops are immediately removed. I respectfully suggest that the department could, within a day, get a telegraphic report from the commanding officer at Fort Brown as to conditions there, upon which action could be based. Please wire me what the people there may expect. "C. A. CULPEerson." The senator entertains the fear that the department and the president do not fully appreciate the gravity of the situation. He hopes to have advices indicating that the department will relieve the situation without delay. A San Antonio special says: General W.E. McCaskey, commanding the department of Texas, has made a recommendation to the war department at Washington that the negro troops at Brownsville, Texas, and elsewhere along the Rio Grande in Texas, be immediately withdrawn. The recommendation* further suggests that the forts now garrisoned with negro troops of the Twenty-fifth infantry be left without garrisoning in the interim before their relief can be sent. SLAY MUTINEERS EXECUTED. Seventeen Shot and Others Given Various Degrees of Punishment. Seventeen of the sailors of the cruiser Pamyat Azova, who mutinied August 2, and one agitator arrested in connection with the mutiny, who were condemned to death by a court martial, were executed at Reval, Russia, Saturday. Twelve other sailors were sentenced to hard labor for periods varying from six to ten years, thirteen were drafted to the disciplinary battalions, fifteen were condemned to various disciplinary penalties and fifty-four were acquitted. Three civilians implicated in the mutiny were handed over to the civil authorities for trial. ALABAMA STRIKE IS OFF. Was On For Two Years and Cost Miners. Over a Million Dollars. A special from Wylam, Ala., in the heart of the Pratt mines district, says that provisions were distributed Friday as usual to the striking coal miners, but they were informed that it would be the last distribution and that the strike at the mines of the four big furnace companies, which has been on for two years, would be called on Monday, as the result of the special convention union of miners held in Birmingham. The strike has cost the miners' union over a million dollars. HIGHWAYMAN ENDS CAREER. Member of Notorious Dalton Gang Sulcides in Prison Cell. John D. Roper, with many alliases, who murdered two fellow prisoners, white men, in the county jail at Lufkin, Texas, August 15—beating them to death with a heavy bucket while they slept—ended the chapter of his fleddish crimes by hanging himself in his cell late Sunday night, using a strip cut from a blanket. He acknowledged a few days ago that he was a member of the Dalton gang of bank robbers at Longview, Texas, in 1892. BRYAN STARTS FOR HOME Closes Tour of Orient and Sets Salt From Gibraltar. William J. Bryan and his party boarded the North German Lloyd Iluer Prinzes at Gibraltar at 1 p. m. Monday. The steamer sailed for New York at 2 p. m. Mr. Bryan expressed himself as being delighted with his tour, which closed with visits to places of interest "in and about the rock." Says Disfranchisement is Unworthy of the White Race. There is hardly a man more honored in Georgia than the Hon. William Henry Fleming of Augusta, Ga. He served six years in congress, has been speaker of the Georgia legislature and president of the State Bar Association. No man's voice can properly command more respect in his state. Mr. Fleming gave the address before the Alumni Association of the State University at Athens at its late commencement, and his address is printed and is one of the most notable of the numerous commencement addresses. He discussed "Slavery and the Race Problem in the South, with Special Reference to the State of Georgia." We would comment it to all who are willing to be interested in what is really the most difficult and tremendous question and problem before our country, as it involves both the social question of labor and the political and moral question of human rights. One month before Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated as president in 1-61 Alexander Stephens, one of the ablest and best man in the Confederacy, and, later, one of the best reconstructed, in a famous speech said that the corner stone of the Confederacy was laid on the principle that the natural place of the Negro is in subordination to the white man. He said: "Upon this our social fabric is firmly planted, and I canont permit myself to doubt the ultimate success of the full recognition of this principle throughout the civilized and enlightened world." And yet scarce two years later slavery was abolished in the United States, and Brazil, the only other Christian slave-holding country, abolished the institution a few years later. Mr. Fleming accepts, as nearly all Southern white writers do, the asumption of Negro racial inferiority, but he sees the flaw in Mr. Stephen's argument, for that would give superior white-men the right to enslave inferior whites. He says that the fear of Negro domination is utterly baseless, and then he-proceeds to ask for a policy of absolute justice for all races in law and its administration. He would not have the ballot taken from the Negro, for without the ballot— "No inferior race could long protect itself against reduction to slavery in many of its substantial forms—and God knows the South wants no more of that curse." Mr. Fleming believes in the educational qualification for the suffrage, but he wants it administered with absolute impartiality. The "grandfather clause" was an attempt to nullify the educational test, by admitting white illiterates while shutting out the black. It is, he declares, unconstitutional. He refers to the gubernatorial campaign in Georgia, where both Clark Howell and Hoke Smith are pledged to shut out the Negro in some way from the ballot, the latter by an educational qualification or understanding clause. He says: "The scheme must be to disfranchise the Negro by a fraudulent administration of the lay. . . . . . . Of course, the officers of registration are to be white. An easy paragraph for the white applicant; a difficult paragraph for the Negro applicant; the acceptance of any sort of an explanation from a white applicant; the rejection of any sort of an explanation from a Negro applicant—there you have the hidden cards with which the name of cheat is to be played. And it is on this miscrable barefaced scheme of fraud that our proud and noble people are asked to rest their safety and their civilization." So he would give the Negro justice and equal political rights. He would not have laws enacted to limit the education of the Negro in the public schools. STATESBORO DOTS.
