ARRIVAL OF BRYAN Steamer Bearing Nebraskan Reaches New York. GREETED BY THOUSANDS Inspection Regulations Ordered Suspended by Roosevalt, Thus Allowing Party to Land at Once. Night Conference Held. Under gray skies, but in exuberant spirits and bronzed by the suns of many climes during a year of travel, completely around the world, William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska, twice the nominee of the democratic party for president of the United States, and already Indorsed for president as the candidate of 1908, steamed up New York bay Wednesday, afternoon on the steamer Proutzess Irene and received a hearty reception from welcoming parties which went down to quarantine to meet the incoming vessel and its distinguished passengers. Mr. Bryan did not enjoy his usual health during the voyage, but was much better on his arrival, and said that he felt sure he would be able to carry out the plans made for him during the next few days. He was much fatigued when he boarded the steamer and during the entire voyage suffered from indigestion and severe headache. His illness was not serious enough to interfere with his work, however, and he devoted a large part of the nine days at sea in preparing his speeches and keeping up his correspondence. He was taken off the Princess Irene by special permission of President Roosevelt, shortly after the vessel anchored in quarantine. First, ne went aboard two tugs which had been chartered by "Bryan's Nebraska home folks," where he was exultantly greeted and hailed as the next president. He then went aboard the yacht illini, owned by his friend and schoolmate, Edward Goltra, of St. Louis, and where such well known democrats as Norman E. Mack, national committeeman from New York, and D. J. Campau, national committeeman from Michigan were awaiting him. In the Illini Mr. Bryan was taken to the landing of the Ocean Yacht Club at Stapleton, Staten Island, where he landed, and was whirled away in an automobile to the home of Lewis Nixon, on the heights of Tompkinsville. Here Mr. Bryan spent the night, the evening being devoted to a conference with intimate personal friends and men of prominence in his party, to learn, Mr. Bryan was accompanied by his wife and daughter, Miss Grace Bryan. Mrs. Bryan went with him on the Illini and to Mr. Nixon's, home, Miss Bryan remained on the steamer. Mr. Bryan could not be drawn into a discussion of the political questions by the newspaper reporters. "What I have to say of politics at this time and with my incomplete knowledge of affairs at home, will be said tomorrow night at the Madison Square Garden reception. Probably then you will find that I shall discuss subjects I have spoken of before." At Wednesday night's conference at the home of Mr. Nixon were Mayor Johnson of Cleveland; National Committeemen Campau of Michigan; Mack of New York and Baughman of Maryland; William Hoge, president of the Commercial Travelers' Anti-Trust League, who discussed the plans for Thursday night's reception; Alexander Troup of Connecticut, who explained the program arranged for Mr. Bryan's welcome to New Haven Friday night; Robert Davis of Jersey City, who explained the arrangements for the Jersey City welcome Saturday evening; H. W. Walker of the reception committee for New York; Augustus Thomas and Edward F. Goltra—all these, together with Mrs. Bryan and Mra. Goltra, were guests of Mr. Nixon at dinner. WILSON AND SINCLAIR DIFFER. Secretary of Agriculture Visits Packing House in Chicago. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson spent Tuesday in Chicago inspecting the packing plants. He studied the canning departments closely. He expressed himself as greatly pleased with the excellent sanitary conditions he found. The establishments visited form the background of the scenes in Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle," which novel, it is asserted, was responsible for President Roosevelt ordering an investigation of the packing houses. Mr. Sinclair's impression and those of Mr. Wilson greatly vary. The Savannah Tribune. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 1, 1906. GEORGIA'S TAX RATE Fixed at 4.8 Mills, Which Is Reduction of One-Tenth of Mill from the Rate of Last Year. After a conference lasting all the forenoon, Governor Terrell and Comptroller General W. A. Wright Wednesday fixed the eGorgia state tax rate at $4.80 on $1,000, or 4.8 mills per cent. This is 10 cents less on the $1,000 than was fixed last year, and it took hard* work to get the figure down. Of the 4.8 mills on the dollar, 1.7 mills are for school purposes. This will raise $1,000,000. Then .17 mill is for the sinking fund. This will raise $100,000 to pay off bonds maturing next year. Finally 2.93 mills are for general purposes, including pensions. The legislature, recently adojurned, made additional appropriations of $334,000 available in 1906 and 1907. There was $105,000 appropriated last year and paid out, which is not repeated in this year. appropriations, so that leaves a net additional sum to be raised over last year of $229,000. It has been ascertained that even at the reduced rate fixed Wednesday, which is .20 below the constitutional rate of 5 mills, the increase of more than $46,000 in property valuations will not the state about $170,000. This leaves about $60,000 still to be raised to meet all the state's appropriations and expenses, and the governor and comptroller general count on increased specific taxes to do this. In the same way double that amount was raised last year, and it is considered there will be no doubt about the state treasury meeting every obligation at the reduced rate, and without the necessity o. borrowing. Had it not been for the increased appropriations mentioned, the rate would have been considerably lower than 4.80. ORPHANS ARE LANDED. Jewish Children from Russia Allowed to Enter United States. * "Land Sarah Perlman, aged 34, and twenty-eight children." This was the text of a laconic telegram which was sent Wednesday evening by Acting Secretary Lawrence O. Murray of the department of commerce and labor to Acting Immigration Commissioner Murray at New York. On the face of it, the telegram was peculiar particularly as Sarah Perlman has the prefix "Miss" attached to her name. The dispatch had reference to twenty-eight Jewish children who have been brought to this country from Russia to be given homes by the United Hebrew Societies. Their parents in each case had been killed in the massacre of Jews at Kishinef. AN INVOLUNTARY BALLOONIST. Anchor Caught Woman's Dress and Carried Her High in Air. Caught by the anchor of a balloon and whirled 500 feet in the air over the heads of 5,000 spectators, Mrs. Roper of Brooklyn was seriously but not fatally hurt, Wednesday at the Ulster county fair at Ellenville, N. Y. A professional woman aeronaut, who has been making daily ascensions at the fair grounds in a hot-air balloon, had just entered the car and was about to give the order to cast off, when the balloon broke loose and sailed upward with the anchor trailing. Before the bystanders could scatter, the anchor caught in the dress of Mrs. Roper and she was jerked up into the air, screaming. As soon as the woman in the balloon caught sight of her involuntary fellow voyager far below at the end of the rope, she at once pulled the safety cord. The balloon, which by that time had reached an altitude of 500 feet, quickly descended and reached ground a quarter of a mile from the point of ascension. The woman struck the ground heavily, and when picked up was found to be unconscious and to have sustained fractures of the shoulder, ankle and seyeral fingers. GREEN IS RULED OUT. Son of Aunt Hetty Barerd from the Republican Nomination in Texas. The attorney general of the state of Texas Monday rendered an opinion nullifying the nomination of E. H. H. Green, son of Mrs. Hettie Green of New York, as the gubernatorial nominee of the republican party. Because of a split in the party, separate conventions were held, one faction being known as the reorganized republican party and the other as the regulars. Mr. Green was nominated by the reorganized faction. SHIPPERS APPEAL Patrons of Transportation Companies Given Hearing. ANENT NEW RATE LAW Appear Before Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington and Request a Number of Regu- Representatives of eight shipping associations, embracing transportation companies' patrons in all parts of the United States, appeared before the interstate commerce commission at Washington Tuesday and requested many regulations in connection with the new freight rate law. Attorneys and officials representing upward of forty trun lines were also present and made various requests. The meeting was the first held under the new rate law. F. T. Bentley, of the American Shippers' Association, presented a series of resolutions, an abstract of which follows: "That we favor a continuance of the present practice of having tariffs in the custody of agents with a placard announcing that they are open to public inspection. "That we favor the railways adopting a switching tariff at each competitive point. "That means be devised to make a railway company quote rates to the public and be responsible therefor, even though they make an error in so quoting. "That we should insist that the railway companies recognize the sum of locals as the only legal rate when such sum is lower than a higher published through rate. "That the practice of making import rates on commodities competitive with domestic productions is discriminatory and that the lowest basis from any foreign port to an inland destination should not be lower than the domestic rate of the favorable located port or entry; and in no case should through import rates be less than the export rates in the opposite direction between the same points. "That we favor the adoption by all shippers of a freight receipt or bill of lading without any conditions, as are now embodied in bills of lading in use generally." ALABAMA PRIMARY RESULT. Later Returns Show Some Changes From First Report. Late returns from the primary in Alabama indicate the election of B. B. Comer, by 2,000 majority over R. M. Cunningham; John R. Tyson, of Montgomery, over Samuel D. Weekly, for chief justice of the Alabama supreme court, and Henry B. Gray for lieutenant governor. W. W. Brandon has been nominated for state auditor; Walter Seed for treasurer and Frank N. Julian for secretary of state; John G. Harris and Charles Henderson for associate railroad commissioner. For alternate United States senators, Congressman John H. Bankhead is first choice and John B. Knox second. The election was without disorder everywhere, except at Newsita, Tallapoosa county, where Charles Cook was killed and his son, George, probably fatally wounded by John Crowe, who was also wounded. About fifteen shots were exchanged between Crowe and the Cooks at the polling place. All of the participants are well known. Walter Wellman Abandons Attempt to Reach Pole in Alrahi. According to advices received from Spitzbergen, Walter Wellman, leader of the Chicago Record-Herald polar expedition, starts south within a week, having finally decided to abandon for this year his attempt to reach the pole by means of an airship. UNION OF POSTOFFICE CLERKS Is First National Organization of Government Employees. Representatives of the postoffice clerks in Chicago, Milwaukee, Loulsville, Nashville, Salt Lake City, ana San Francisco met in convention in Chicago Monday and formed a national union under the auspices of the American Federation of Labor. The organization, which will be known as the National Federation of Postoffice Clerks, is the first national labor union in America to be composed exclusively of government employees. BOOST FOR BRYAN OPENS THIRD CAMPAIGN Many Thouzands-Will Crowd Madison Square Garden to Take Part in Great Public Home-Coming A New York special says: The home coming of W. J. Bryan, after a tour around the world, promises to inaugurate the opening of the "Commoner's" third campmaign for the presidency. The great popular reception to the Nebraskan will be held at Madison Square Garden under the auspices of the Commercial Travelers' Anti-Trust League. Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland will preside at the reception, and Mr. Bryan is expected to make a two hours' speech and to address one or more open-air meetings in Madison Square. The Madison reception will be but the beginning of a series of similar affairs on a smaller scale, which will end with a big public meeting of welcome, when Mr. Bryan reaches his home in Lincoln, Neb. On the day after the Madison Square Garden reception, Mr. Bryan will leave for New Haven in company with a large delegation of Connecticut supporters. In New Haven he will be the guest of New Haven Democratic Club and will deliver an address in the open air. An interesting feature of his visit there will be a conference of leading democrats from New England, including candidates for governor, mayors of cities, democratic state committeemen and the New England democratic national committee. This conference, it is announced, is for the purpose of agreeing on a common basis for campaigns of this year and of two years hence. From New Haven, Mr. Bryan will go to Bridgeport, where he will deliver an address in the evening and on the following day he will address a meeting at Jersey City. On Saturday night he will be the guest of active newspaper men who cover political assignments for their papers. While the reception to Mr. Bryan will be the most remarkable popular demonstration to a plain American citizen ever-seen in the country, and while New York City will be crowded with more visitors than at any one time in its history probably, no difficulty is apprehended by the managers of the entertainment in caring for the throngs of strangers. Of course, everybody will not be able to hear Mr. Bryan's speech in Madison Square Garden, but every visitor will be able to see him during the parade in the afternoon and at night in Madison Square Park. Mr. Bryan will land at the Battery at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, where he will be welcomed by as many people who can crowd into Battery Park and the streets in the vicinity. A sufficient force of police will be on hand to preserve order there and along the entire route of march. Mr. Bryan will ride in an open carriage with Governor Folk of Missouri, and probably Acting Mayor McGowan. An escort of one of the city troops will be provided, and it is optional with visiting delegations to follow on horseback or in carriages. Simplicity is to dominate everything about the reception, at the request of Mr. Bryan, and the procession up Broadway will be without music or other accessories of a garish nature. As Mr. Bryan is to be welcomed merely as a distinguished American in private life, who has attracted worldwide attention as one of the greatest men this country has produced, the desire is to avoid the trappings of political demonstration. CONDEMNED WOMAN RESPITED. Governor Folks Allows Appeal In Case of Mrs. Myers. Governor Folk, at Jefferson City, Mo., Monday granted a reprieve till October 26 to Mrs. Agnes Myers, now in jail at Liberty awaiting execution for the murder of her husband. Governor Folk granted the respite so that the woman's attorneys might have time in which to perfect an appeal to the United States supreme court. A respite was also granted to Frank Hottman to October, which is the same day for the execution, of Mrs. Myers. Bursting Boller Starts/ Blaze Which Destroyed Twenty Wells and Much Other Property. Aspocial from Beammont says: One of the most destructive fires in the history of the Texas oil fields occurred at Spindle Top Tuesday night following the explosion of a boiler at the Keith-Ward tract. The loss may reach a half million dollars. The outfits of more than a score of the best wells in the field were destroyed. The explosion occurred at 9:30 o'clock. It is reported that three men lost their lives. Just after the explosion the storage house of the Keith-Ward Company was seen to be in flames. Although the oil district is reasonably well prepared to fight fires, having profited by past experiences, the flames gained rapid headway, and it was soon necessary to send to Beaumont for assistance. Engines and a large force of men were dispatched to the scene. About thirty of the districts were destroyed. When the flames were finally gotep under control six acres had been swept clean. NO POPULIST CONVENTION. Party in Georgia Will Trust Hoks Smith Administration. Finding only nine delegates present, including himself, Chairman J. J. Holloway, of the Georgia poplists, called the populist convention off at Atlanta Tuesday without even the formality of calling the meeting to order. The populists were to have held their convention in the hall of the house of representatives at noon. At 12:30 only the nine delegates had put in appearance, and the indications were that no others were coming, consequently Chairman Holloway decided that there would be no convention. The small attendance on the convention was undoubtedly due to the fact that publications were made in the papers throughout the state practically to the effect that no convention would be held. This was based on the ground that Hoke Smith having been nominated for governor, in accordance with the desire of the populists, a convention was unnecessary. Had it not been for this fact, and had these announcements not been made, there would, no doubt, have been a much larger attendance. THIS BOYCOTT WAS COSTLY. Baker is Awarded $6,000 Damages Against Labor Union. Judge Fowler, of Fond du Lac, Wls. Tuesday, awarded Otto B. Schulz, a prominent baker of Racine, $6,000 damages in his suit, against some eighty members of the Trades and Labor Council for boycotting his business and placing his name on the unfair list some two years ago because he refused to put the union label on his products. The decision was handed down in the circuit court at Fond du Lac. HEARST AN INDEPENDENT. Rejects Proposition to Run For Gov error on Democratic Ticket. error on Democratic ticket. William Randolph Hearst in an interview at New York Tuesday said that he would not be a candidate for governor of New York at the next election on the democratic ticket. Mr. Hearst was asked: "Would you accept the nomination of the democrats to run for governor?" Mr. Hearst replied: "No. I shall run only as the nominee of the independent league." DOZEN HELD FOR TRIAL. Negro Soldiers, Under Arrest, Removed From Brownsville. The twelve negro members of the Twenty-fifth infantry, recently stationed at Fort Brown, Tex, who are charged with being responsible for the trouble at Brownsville, have been taken, to Fort Sam Houston, at San Antonio, where they arrived safely Tuesday morning. It was thought best to remove them temporarily from Fort Brown. SHAW DENIES A REPORT. Secretary Has No Intention of Buying United States 4s. When asked about the rumor that he was about to purchase government bonds, the 4s of 1907, Secretary Shaw asserted: "Evidently somebody is trying to deceive the thoughtless. Every man with financial sense, recognizes that occasion for relief does not exist. It seems strange that rumors should be so persistent that I am going to do a thing, the doing of which at this time would be universally recognized as uncalled for." NO.48. A La Oarmegle System. is Adopted by President. NOTIFIES PUBLIC PRINTER New System of Orthography Will Be Used Hereafter In Documents, Messagesa and Letters Ema nating from White House. A special from Oyster Bay, N. Y., says: President Roosevelt has endorsed the Carnegie spelling reform movement. He issued orders Friday to Public Printer Stillings that hereafter all messages from the president and all other documents emanating from the white house should be printed in accordance with the recommendation of the spelling reform committee headed by Brander Matthews, professor of English at Columbia University. This committee has published a list of 300 words in which the spelling is reformed. This list contains such words as "thrue" and "tho" as the spelling of "through" and "though." The president's official sanction of this reform movement is regarded as the most effective and speediest method of inaugurating the new system of spelling throughout the country. Not only will the printed documents emanating from the president utilize the reform spelling, but his correspondence also will be spelled in the new style. Secretary Loeb has sent for the list of 300 words which have been reformed and on its arrival will immediattely order all correspondence of the president and of the executive force of the white house spelled in accordance therewith. As the spelling reform committee shall adopt new reforms, they will be added to the president's list and also to that of the public printer. While the order to the public printer does not contemplate an immediate reform in the spelling of official documents from the executive departments in Washington, it is regarded that more than likely the respective heads of the departments will fall in line with the president's ideas and have their official documents printed in the new spelling Small-Sized Row Over Bryan Reception is Incubating. A New York special says: Harry W. Walker, who has had an active part in arranging the reception to be given to William Jennings Bryan by the Commercial Travelers' Anti-Trust League on August 30, gave out a statement Friday to the effect that politicians headed by Alexander Troup, of Connecticut, and Norman E. Mack, of Buffalo, are trying to control the movement, and that the league, will control the arrangements for the reception even if it has to tell the politicians to retire. "Mr. Bryan accepted the invitation from the Commercial Travelers' Anti-Trust League," said Mr. Walker, "and we think that he will appear there as stated." Mr. Mack, who is the democratic national committeeman from New York state, said, in reply to the statement that there was a popular impression that the Bryan reception would be a political affair, and that Mr. Bryan regarded it that way. "Why shouldn't politicians take part in it?" he said. Mr. Mack said he is not making trouble in the committee and that there is no talk of Hearst in the arrangements. DEPOSITORS IN MAD RUSH. Great Scramble to Get Flat Money Paid by Wrecked Bank. Sixty policemen were overwhelmed in Chicago Friday by a mad rush of men and women who were determined to get the first money paid out by the ruined Milwaukee Avenue bank. Receiver eFitzer had made arrangements to pay 20 per cent to 5,000 of the 22,000 depositors and everybody was anxious to be among the 5,000. ORPHANS TO BE DEPORTED. Unless a Special Dispensation Is Arranged in Their Behalf. The case of the forty Russian Hebrew children who arrived at New York Saturday on the steamship Amerika was heard by the board of special inquiry at the immigration station on Ellis Island Sunday, and the board, after deliberation, decided that the children should be excluded from this country. This, however, is not final, and the case has already been appealed to Washington. The children were made orphans by the recent massacres in Russia. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society long in total For Thousand Dollars, and which are held by the State of Georgia, by authority and under the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly, approved October 22d, 1887, and amended December 20th, 1897. The many votes given to Hon. Hoke Smith in the past democratic primary shows to the Negroes of Georgia the spirit of hatred that exists among the white citizens of Georgia for the Negro. There wasn't anything that gave Mr. Smith such an overwhelming majority but the disfranchisement idea he claimed to favor so much. If a white man wants an office in any of the southern states, all he has to do is to announce himself a Negro hater. While there be many of the white race ready to give equal justice to every man, regardless of race or color, he will win with a large majority who is opposed to this idea. We believe Mr. Smith will make as good a governor as any of his opponents that sought the office along with him, but we are sorry to note the fact that our white brother carries the spirit of hatred-in his bosom for his brother in black, whom God had as much to do with in making as He did the white man. Yours for the time when a man will be a man, regardless to color, Please allow me space in your paper to say a word in regard to the Old Folks', Home (colored). In June, 1904, knowing that I could care for some of the old folks of my race, I opened the Carmak home for old folks on the Ogechee roan, spending my time in said cause. An appeal was sent to the different churches, or the general public, for aid in caring for the aged colored people. A few of the churches responded, also a few friends, but no united interest was taken in the matter, having from five to eleven persons at times in the home; during the two years and ten months several persons died at the home. I labored, with the home for two years and ten months, bearing all the expenses, thinking that my people would take some interest in the aged colored people of the city; taking them off the streets; many whose labor has made it pleasant for some of a young people of today. If each church had given 50 cents per month it would have carried the work along nicely. I was injured by the electric car, and it is impossible for me to work as a nurse to carry the work along without help. With regret I was obliged to close the home on Wednesday, August 15, having to find homes for four old folks and two children. SOL. C. JOHNSON, Supt. of Ageno NIGHT TRAINS SAVANNAH & MONTGOMERY.

Lucy Hill, 11-year-old daughter of Frank Hill, of Kokomo, Ind., took $140 from a dresser, bought some new clothes, jewelry and a railway ticket to Dallas, Texas. She started south alone. Her parents thought she had been stolen, but she was soon heard from in Oklahoma. "Oh, I just went out to have the time of my life," was her explanation. Jack Frost Appears In Kansas. A light frost was reported from Reading, Kans., Monday, breaking the record of the last ten years for early frost. AN ALL NIGHT BATTLE. Cuban Rebels Successfully Hold Off Government Recruits. A special from Havana says: A party of insurgents, commanded by Colonel Sanchez, entered the town of Bejuchal, Havana province, at 11 o'clock Sunday night fortified themselves and fought all night against an attacking force of government recruits and rural guards, without another result that three defenders of the place and one rural guard was killed. 2.

A Chance For the Girls. ,There are a great many women who are making a great success of poultry raising. The writer has in mind two ladies living near him who are in partnership in the poultry business, and by the way they live they must surely make in the neigh- Dorhood of $1000 a year each. Of course these women know their business thoroughly, and are very shrewd judging from a business standpoint, and are exceptions in thelr line; but nevertheless they have proven that some women can make big money with hens. Now if the girls on the farm would only see their way clear for them to take up the poultry as their own there is no doubt whatever but what the greater majority of them would find poultry keeping a most profitable as well as indépendent vocation.— New York Witness.

The second wooer sald she was the suz, moon and stars to him, ‘but she bade him be on his way. “To me,” sald the third, “you are @ young woman of agreeable man ners, with eyes that might be a little bluer, with a nose that is a wee bit puggy, and with a few freckles, and an annoying habit of blurting out your thoughts." She married the third wooer. Be- ing pressed for av explanation of her conduct, she sald: “My goodness! I think I, was sensible. I married the only one that had courage enough to tell me of my faults before marrtage, {n- atead of walting to throw them up to me afterward.”=~Life.

How long a woman should sleep each night depends upon the kind of work she does, and upon témpera- wont Tf she is. nervous more seat and sleep are required than for one of a phlegmatic nature, acgording to a physiclan’ who has specialized along these ilnes. . ‘The number of hours of sleép a woman or man gets is usually a habit governed by thelr modé of living,” phe says, “and for this reason one can easily regulate the time to have suffiicent rest. “The accepted time for sleep {s eight hours, and for the average in- dividual this 1s enough, but if less is needed, then the extra time can be spent in some profitable way, wine it nine or ten hours are re- quired they should be taken, even if the recreation period has to be cut short, For a woman who does not get enough sleep is not only never a success in business, but 1s irritable in her home and undoubt- edly 4s encouraging mental break- down and nervous prostration, either ‘of which is bound to follow in time. | “THe amount of sleep needed de- pends largely upon the work done during the day. If {t is menfal more rest should be taken, for with the physteat labor the body may be more wearled, but it recuperates much more quickly than the brain. A woman who {s nervous needs from two to three hours more each night than one who {s not, especially it her business keeps her working at high tension, yet few excitable per- sons ever get enough sleep, for it seems almost impossible for them to stay quiet a sufficient length of time to be properly rested, “On the other hand, there are a few women who get more sleep than they really need, and as a result are always sort of stupid and indolent, taking no interest in thelr work or social lite, but dragging out an ex- fstence that seems a burden to them, and all because they rest so long that the organs of digestion grow defective from lack of proper care and the absence of the right king of exercise.

THE Atlanta "spirit," has been rather hideous during the week. We hope editor Graves in his wrath wont destroy the whole race at once: AND now the south wants to take away from the Government its right to station troops wherever it pleases on its own territory. The National Negro Business League began its session, at Atlanta Wednesday, with a large attendance. THE Republican State Central Committee adjourned Tuesday without putting out a state ticket, Roosevelt was indorsed and eleven new names added to the committee. NEARLY all of the policemen at the Ocean Steamship wharves have been accused of robbery. These same policemen have sent many poor colored men to the chain gang for scraping up a little sugar after a barrel had been broken, and have clubbed many of the workmen for the least offense. Retribution comes in various ways. An ordinance to keep the races apart on street cars is before the council. This ordinance is altogether uncalled for. At present the white and colored citizens ride together without friction. The purpose of the ordinance is to segregate and abuse the colored citizens of this city and they are not going to undergo such treatment. THE Republican State Central Committee met in Atlanta on Tuesday with a large attendance. The committee failed to recommend the nomination of a State Ticket. The innovation presented by Messrs. Gore and Ashby for representation in the State Convention by Congressional districts and that according to the votes cast in the last election, was nearly unanimously defeated. We don't understand why the President has directed the War Department to withdraw the colored troops stationed at Brownsville, Texas. If the recent assault made upon two privates by white men, seemingly without provocation, is the excuse, then the Government is losing its backbone. It is well known that the whites oppose the presence of Negro troops in the south, and it is reasonable to suppose that they bring about these small encounters with privates, to make it appear that the troops are a disorderly lot and thereby have a pretext for their removal. The colored soldiers are well disciplined and are not cowards. As United States troops, they have a right to resent insults and defend themselves when assaulted. They did not start this trouble and should not have been removed from their post. IN 1892, Editors Floyd of the Sentinel, Johnson of THE TRIBUNE, Hagler of the Advocate, Marlow of the Choice, Davis of the Clipper, Christopher of the Recorder, Blocker of Black and White and Parker of the Journal, met in Augusta and organized the first Negro Press Association in Georgia. At that time, the then and at present nestor of Negro journalism in Georgia was prevailed upon to join the movement, but said the time was not ripe. He was partly correct, the association died a-borning, and to-day only one of the participants is living to tell the tale, THE TRIBUNE, which along with the Georgia Baptist has been doing service for over twenty years. THE TRIBUNE agrees with the venerable Georgia Baptist man and heartily second the movement for a press organization at the Colored State Fair in Macon, November next. NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that the white people of Atlanta have the machinery of government wholly in their hands, they are at present mapping out a course of action which, if pursued, must sooner or later be productive of results most harmful to both races. The police, troops, court officials, jail officers, city authorities, and what not, are all white men; and with almost unlimited power in their hands, they ought to be able to uphold the majesty of the law, as they have sworn to do, and suppress any sentiment that approves of lawless methods in the treatment of criminals. It is reported that the Ku Klux Klan, of reconstruction times, is forming again in Fulton county to put down lawlessness among the Negroes. The fact is, the Negroes of Fulton are not a lawless class and they neither condone nor encourage crime among them. Such an organization as the Ku Klux Klan would destroy peaceful relations between the races, harm and terrorize law-abiding Negroes and arouse a spirit of retaliation among them. As far as it lies in their power, intelligent Negroes are doing what they can to suppress crime; but they are not authorized to do police duty and apprehend criminals. There are officers for this purpose and they are white. With scare headlines and injudicious editorials, the Atlanta dailies inflame the minds of the people and picture to them a situation that does not exist. It is up to the law-abiding whites of Fulton to prevent the formation of the Ku Klux Klan, for on no ground can its existence be justified. Crime is largely a result of ignorance, and to suppress it the masses must be enlightened. Force and intimidation will only curb it for a time. "Jim Crow" or Not. For the third time attempt will be made to separate the races on the street cars of this city. The last attempt was only fostered by one member of the city council and he went down in unanimous defeat. The conditions prevalent at that time are the same now, other than the race feeling is become more intense by the coming to the city of a class of white men filled with race prejudice. The races have been getting along in an amicable way in this city and there is really no reason to disturb this relation. It is only being done by those who haven't the best interest of the entire people at heart. The white people of Savannah are looked upon as being the best in any Southern city; there is no reason for them to besmirch this reputation by the proposed jim crow ordinance. The members of city council are urged to think before they act upon this matter and in so doing act only for the best welfare of the city and thwart the plan of those who desire to stir up race feeling. Liberty for Each, For All and Forever-- On Monday noon at 12 o'clock there will be a meeting of all ministers, regardless of denomination, and prominent citizens at the F. A. B. Church, Franklin square, to confer and adopt the best method to thwart the proposed movement to separate the races on the street cars. Colored men who are interested in the best welfare of the race are urged to be present. A Notable Gathering. from that shore; to the other so glorious. Rev. Thomas was unanimously re-elected president, and also Rev. H. L. Haywood, vice-president; Mrs. M. M. Mills, recording secretary; Mr. G. E. Miller, corresponding secretary; Mr. D. Simmons of St. John's School, treasurer, of whom were duly installed by Rev. Wm. Gray in a tense declaration in their several duties. The Sabbath services were largely attended with visitors from Darrien and the surrounding neighborhood and were notably interesting from the fact that it was the covenant and communion season of the church, which Invited the Convention to participate with them.

The systematic manner of dining the convention near to the church, in a hall for their convenience with an abundance of the best they had supplied so pleasantly and loving, made these repasts doubly palatable. The financial feature was also unusually good netting something over $125 of which they donated to the State Missionary work to the Rev. Murden, over $11.40 and to the church and to the oldest servant of God in the southland Rev. J. M. Simmus a hearty collection of $4.40, besides by a vote unanimous of life membership in consideration of the long and important services rendered by him to his race from 1861 to the present, as a minister of the gospel and worker in the Sunday School. While we would not appear invidious, we should not fall to note the very perfect engineering of this whole meeting by Rev. Thomas, the pastor, uniting in his zeal, for his master the Lord Jesus. The very fine and favorable sermon preached on Thursday evening at this church by Rev. Haywood and that of Rev. Murden, at the closing services Sunday with the loving entertainment of that prince and princess of Christian entertainers. Mr. and Mrs. John Hutchinson who showed loving attention upon their guests and who were many. They were assisted also by that ever notable worker Mr. M. S. Grant of Darien.

Stitison-traveling Agent of Morris Brown Collegeproved himself equal to the task: Dr. Ainsworth of Wesley Memorial M. E. Church, South, made a good speech, and was well received by all. There were people of every denomination in attendance, which point goes to say that the Negro has learned a helpful lesson. That the cause of Education is equally every man's burden, and all should lend a helping hand, knowing that whatever elevates one Negro helps all. I take this method to thank our friends who contributed so liberally. Whenever you need us call on us and we will come to your rescue. The sum of $50.65 was realized.

Branch, pastot. Sparks from St. James. Are you a man? If so the service at St. James on Sunday will be of interest to you. If you have wife, daughter, son, mother or sister, or if you are a man alone with an ounce of self respect or pride in your race, Sunday night at St. James will be a red letter night in your life if you are a man. This will be a three division service, 8 to 8:30 prelude on civic affairs; 8:30 to 9:15 sermon; 9:15 to 10 questions, answers and action.

This transfer should give the name of the purchaser and date of the transaction, and should be signed by the seller. Tail Docking Still Essential. It is difficult to convince an old horse breeder, who has been accustomed in early life to raise sheep, that, acquired characteristics are transmitted. At what date the practice of docking tails of lambs was first practiced is unknown. It was a great many years ago, yet the tails of lambs from those ancestors, whose tails have been docked or generations, do not seem to have diminished any in length. The docking process is just as essential now as when it was first practiced.—Boston Cultivator. Scabby Legs. The rough, unsightly scales sometimes seen on the legs of fowls, causing them to swell and become distorted, are due to a mite—a small insect closely resembling that which produces scab in sheep. About one eight hundredth of an inch in length it burrows in the skin under the scales, the consequence of the irritation being that purulent matter is formed, on which it subsists. In acute stages the diseased limbs become covered with rough, lumpy crusts, which may be removed with a blunt knife, although if the parts are not first molested with soft soap and warm water furious bleeding will follow. These crusts are generally hollow and contain a spongy mass, in the lower portions of which the pests are to be found in all stages of growth and development. Left to itself, the disease makes very slow progress, and birds having it may linger along for a year or more. Occasionally, however, it results in such violent inflammation and corrosion, as it were, that the toe or afflicted parts drop off. While it is as contagious as, and in many respects similar to the scab of sheep, spreading from one bird to another by the mites, its prevention and cure, fortunately, are simple and easy. One of the best things to do for it is to wash the legs of the diseased birds with warm water and carbolic soap, and when dry. apply with a feather, kerosene oil, working it thoroughly into the crevices between the scales. At the same time the roosts should be coated with a mixture of grease, containing enough kerosene to make of it a thin paint, with a stiff paint brush it should be inserted into the cracks and crevices until they are filled, it being there that the mites secrete themselves during the day. As it is an easy matter for the mites to be in the nests, they should also receive proper attention; the old straw, too, should be taken out and burned and new put in its place. Fowls enjoying plenty of room, in their runs are less liable to be bothered with scaly legs than when kept in confined spaces.—Fred O. Sibley, in The Epitomist. Roots For Stock. A writer in the Rural New Yorker mentions the excellence of beets, particularly the sugar variety, for all kinds of stock, including, also, poultry. He recommends Golden Tankard as the best of the mangel wurtzels, and Lane's Imperial Sugar as the most satisfactory of the sugars. He would plant some of each, but most of the former. The objection to this crop, the writer says, is the amount of labor required to keep them free from weeds the early part of the season. Some hand weeding will be necessary. Unless this labor is at hand at the critical time beets will be a disappointment and a failure. Any land that will grow good corn will grow beets, but a friable loam is best. It should be very rich. If a heavy dressing of stable manure has been applied the year before it will be bitter. Plant in drills twenty to thirty inches apart, using from twelve to twenty seeds to the foot. In Virginia this seed can be put in now. Be sure the land is put in the best of condition. As soon as the young plants have started so the rows are visible cultivation should commence. I have sowed plaster over the rows before the seed came up, so I could see where not to cultivate and thus gained time. They should receive constant attention so as to keep the soil loose and free from weeds. When about two or three inches high they should be thinned so as to stand about six inches apart. This can be done with a narrow bladed hoe: Cultivation should be discontinued after the roots have begun to form. Often late cultivation starts a new root growth when they should be maturing and developing sugar. The cooler they can be kept the better. As a matter of fact it does not seriously injure them to freeze if they are fed immediately after inawing. Of course they soon will not after the frost is out of them. The cellar referred to would be all right, except it is a poor plan to store roots in the cellar of a house, as there is an odor arising from them that is neither pleasant nor healthful. An excellent plan is to put them in cone-shaped plies of about forty bushels each, not to exceed five feet at the base. Cover these with about six inches of straight straw, if it is to be had, twisting a flue or chimney every two or three feet at the top of the heap for the air to pass out. Then cover with four or six inches of earth. These can be taken out at any time on a mild day, or if left till late in the season will keep much firmer than if in a cellar. I have kept them in perfect condition here, where the mercury goes to twenty degrees below zero. The heaps should be on, dry ground where no water stands. Air in Poultry Houses. Ventilation is one of the most important things to be considered in the poultry house during the winter. The average poultryman, especially if in a cold climate, is much given to thinking his fowls will freeze unless they are kept so that not a bit of air enters the house. Except in the very coldest sections one need not fear getting too much air into the house by any reasonable method of ventilation. If the house is so constructed that the air must come in through doors or windows, it is a simple matter so to protect the fowls while on the roosts that they will not catch cold. During the day when they are moving about they are not likely to catch cold unless a decided draft of air blows over them for some time; it is at night when the trouble is likely to result, and a few curtains of burlap or old, carpet so hung that they may be drawn in front of the fowls and come a foot or two above their heads will be all the protection needed, especially if the birds are given a warm supper to go to bed on. In this respect do not forget the hint given some time ago to feed the fowls shelled corn heated in the oven and given to the birds as warm as they can swallow it without its burning them. It is surprising what a lot of heat this will give the fowls and how nice and comfortable they will be through the night. — Indianapolis News. Profit by others' failures. You cannot keep the place too clean. A little kerosene will brighten a rusty plow. It is the solids in a cow's milk that determine her value. Does the insurance policy permit you to run the incubator in the house? Cockle is said to be poisonous. Too much of it is apt to kill the fowls. The value of the manure depends more upon the feed than upon the animal. Plant early garden truck only in ground in first calss condition and well fertilized. Do not attempt to cover a big field with a little pile of manure. Reverse the proceedings. Hogs should always have plenty of good, pure water to drink. They should never be allowed to drink out of a stagnant pool which is reeking with disease germs. With the automatic drinking fountain now to be had cheaply, this can easily be done. Unless a sick hen is far more valuable than an ordinary fowl, a very sick hen will not be worth doctoring. This sooner her head is taken off the better. Prompt action of this kind may prevent the spread of disease among the entire flock and a heavy loss to the owner of the fowls. It is a mistake not to trim and shape the trees when young, and thus avoid the necessity of removing large branches when the trees are grown, which means but mutilation and injury; and it is equally wrong to let too much fruit mature on young trees, or, on any trees, for that matter. The farmer who confines himself to two or three staple crops and who has not ventured beyond them, does not know the full capacity of his farm. He should try some special crops on a small area and endeavor to have a greater variety of articles to sell. The causes of failure in some crops do not influence other kinds. If you want fat colts, calves, lambs and pigs, sow clover. No kind of feed causes greater growth than clover, either in pasture and hay. If half the pasture and meadow lands of our stock farmers are in clover it is no mistake. Aside from supplying the best food for stock, it keeps up the fertility of the soil and enables the farmer to raise good crops. NEW CURE FOR UGLINESS. Make Faces at Yourself, by Yourself, For Yourself. "Make faces if you want to improve your face!" This piece of advice is seriously presented to all those ambitious persons who want to improve on nature's idea of what they should look like. It is the conclusion of Professor Anthony Barker, who can and does make faces to beat the band. "I admit," he says, "that is sounds both simple and silly to tell anybody that in order to become handsome he should make faces which are undeniably ugly, but it is neither simple nor silly. If you make the right kind of faces, and do it regularly for ten or fifteen minutes, either in the morning or at night, you will find that it will work wonders in your appearance." The scentic didn't doubt this. When he looked at the professor making faces he was bound to admit that they worked wonders, all right enough, but he didn't feel himself stirred to emulation. The face maker went on to explain, though, that he'd look better after a while; better even than before he began pushing his face to such extremities. "Whoever makes these faces," said he, "will be blessed with features which are full of vitality. He or she will have that constant power of attraction which is possessed by any one who is the picture of health. "You can't learn to make these faces properly without practice. You mustn't think that any old face will do. No, not any more than squirming and wriggling the body any which way will take the place of scientific physical exercises. "You practice for a while, and you will find that you are bringing into play facial muscles that haven't been doing a day's work for years. These muscles will thus be filled with a bountiful supply of fresh blood, making the skin clear and rosy, the flesh firm and rounded." The professor has devised five faces, varying from a Gorgon-like, staring apparition of frozen horror to a twister, the mere beholding of which gives the fascinated spectator a cramp in his own face. Here is a sample of the directions for this method of embellishing one's beauty: "Exercise II. — Starting with the mouth shut, thrust out the lower jaw as far as possible and while holding it there draw the lower lips and adjacent muscles up toward the nose. Try to make the lip touch the tip of the nose. Bring all the muscles around the shut eyes as close together as you possibly can. Then try to open the eyes without succeeding. Do this until the muscles are tired. "This stretching of the chin muscles takes away double chins and fills out hatchet ones. By concentrating numerous muscles around the eyes it broadens noses that are too thin between the eyes and fills out sunken eye sockets and takes away puffs. "It is better to do all the exercises gently at first. In this way possible rupture of small facial blood vessels will be made impossible. Making these faces also develops the neck and throat, filling them out when scrawny and hirdening them so as to render them less liable to disease. "The chewing muscles also will be made stronger so that thorough mastication will be materially aided; and that, in turn, will contribute to better digestion and assimilation of food. The exercises will correct excessive paleness as well as the other extreme of violent blushing." The professor makes out a very strong case for his pet plan. Almost too strong, in fact. For when he says, as he does, that after using these exercises "sunken eyes, hollow cheeks and abnormally thin noses will disappear," one feels inclined to put up with the features one happens to have, rather than to have them "disappear" without perhaps leaving even a wrack behind.—New York Sun. The Founder of Kindergartens. Born in Thuringia in 1782, Froebel began his career as a teacher in 1805 at Frankfort-on-the-Main, and later took part as a soldier in the war of liberation. It was not till 1816 that he began to put his theories of education into practice. Ten years later he expounded them in his first important book, and shortly afterward began the training of teachers. In 1836 he opened his first kindergarten school at Blankenburg. The rest of his life was devoted to organizing kindergarten schools. He died in 1852. The first successful kindergarten in the United States was opened at St. Louis in 1873. Milwaukee was not long in taking up the idea, and for a time was a Mecca for educators desiring to witness the system of Froebel in practical operation. The number of kindergarteners in the country at the end of 1873 was forty-three; 1882, 348; 1892, 1511; 1898, 4363. There are now in the neighborhood of 5000.—Milwaukee Wisconsin. English in the Lead. Owing to the rapid growth of the United States, the English language is low spoken by more persons than use any other civilized tongue. Today 130,000,000 people speak English, 100,000,000 speak Russian (for not all the people of 'we empire talk the national tongue), 75,000,000 use German, 70,000,000 employ Spanish, including the inhabitants of the Latin-American countries, and 40,000,000 speak French. NEW YORK AS SEEN BY A DIXIE GIRL. One of "Seventeen Most Popular" of the South Glives Her Impressions—Hurry in Work and Play—Even the Rocky Island is Clamped Down With Steel to Keep It From Running Away to Says Women Look Hard—Admires Kitchen in Great Hotel, But Years For a Little Cora Pone or Beaten Biscuit. How New York hurries; hurries in work, hurries in play! There is something electric about the very air which makes one move the faster! When I get back to Chattanooga I shall find myself running across the streets and hurrying out of the cars as though all the world depended on my getting from one block to another. I know that I shall. The thing which has impressed us girls who have come up from the South to spend two weeks here is the fact that so many persons in New York do not seem to have anything else to do but to hurry just as fast as ever they can—doing nothing. How is it that you all find so much time to play while pretending that you are so very, very busy? One of the first impressions which this great city made upon me with its noise, its confusion, its scurrying backward and forward, its d'in of beils and whistles and its roar of wheels, was that in spite of all their appearance of being so occupied many had nothing to do but to play. But then New York never really goes to bed, People are toiling when others play and playing when others work. Somebody always has a holiday and many are at their tasks when their neighbors are up in the roof gardens. . All Classes Have Play Time. Of course, I know that somebody really does work, but when? At midday, in the afternoon, in the evening, at any hour of the day or night you go to places of amusement, you sit in the restaurants—at luncheon, breakfast, tea, dinner, supper. It certainly does seem to me that there are no three meals a day here, for there are so many persons who have nothing else to do but to eat at their leisure at all hours and to look out upon the streets, where thousands come and go, just as though they were intended to run up and down that way forever and ever. Do you know that there is something fascinating about this city of yours? Of course you must know it, or you would not stay here and keep settling here year after year. I wonder how it is possible for so many to find a place to live on this little, rocky island, all clamped down with steel and weighted down with big masses of stone as though you were afraid that the very ground would hurry away from under your feet and go galloping out to sea, playing to be hard at work. But you don't labor in this town as they do down South—as far as length of time* is concerned, at east. In New York the people squeeze all their work into a few hours, and then away their go in their cars and automobiles, hastening to the country, hurrying to the theatres and running toward the beaches. All classes have time to play, for in the parks I see laborers and their families taking life as easy as a New York man can and having such a good time. It isn't any wonder that the first thing that a stranger asks of New York is, "When do you work?" New York Men Chiralrous. Do you know that before I came here I heard much about the coldness and exclusiveness of New York people, and I was not prepared to like them at all. Well, they do have that constrained air about them, but it is all an affection. They don't mean it. At heart they are kindly, polite and attentive. " And the men! Oh, I do like the New York men. They are the very soul of chivalry; they are courteous; they never presume; they take the greatest pleasure in doing any service. They are always so respectful and attentive, yet when there is any IN OLD WAR DAYS. How the Great Struggle Made Business For the Bucksport Stage. If one wants to hear marvellous tales concerning stage driving in old times he should go to Bucksport and secure talks with some of the old chaps who can remember back to the days of the Civil War. Then, as now, Bucksport was "eighteen miles from everywhere"—from Bangor, Belfast, Castine, Ellsworth and several other smaller places. Stages left the old Ribbinson House in processions every day. Some of those old drivers were remarkable men, skilled in handling the "ribbons," very popular with their patrons and heroes in their labors to be on time under every condition of weather. The names of these men would fill considerable space in a newspaper. Most of them are dead now, but they are not for- There is another aspect of stage driving during the Civil War times, which no one has recorded as yet—the great traffic which was carried on by hackmen and stages in carrying persons who were anxious to get away to New Brunswick as soon and as quietly as possible. The demand or soldiers was urgent, because the needs of the nation were great. Many young men who were physically able to serve in the ranks did not have a king for the job, and sooner than argue the case, they sought rest and inclusion under her Majesty's flag, even as many vessels did for their property, which was exposed to BY KATHERINE ROBERTSON. fun and any gaye they enter into it all with such 'spirit'. They stop at nothing. They have such an air of knowing all about life; their manners are perfect; they are so bright and up to date, and their conversation is always interesting and entertaining. You hear of the chivalry of the Southern people, but those in New York know, better how to be chivalrous. Here in New York a girl would soon forget how to do her own "toting." Now, about the women? I'm afraid that I ought not to write this, but I must say that those whom I have seen impress me as very artificial. Compared to the women whom I have seen in the South, they do not seem to be sincere. But how they do dress! What style and carriage they have! How well they wear their clothes, and what an air of distinction! A New York woman would be known anywhere. Hard Look About the Mouth. The expression of the faces of New York women, although I cannot exactly describe it, is something which one is not likely to forget. Well—I may as well say it—they have a hard look around the mouth and under the eyes, and I have not seen many of them who looked really happy. I think that one coming from the West or South might learn in two or three months to dress like the women of New York, and probably in a year of so she would get that same expression. It is something that one seems to feel, but it is hard to define or describe. I don't know that I care for it, and would not care to have my friends look that way. It is very interesting to watch thousands of faces which you have never seen before and will never see again. It is different from some of the little towns in the South that I know, where you know everybody and everybody knows you, and loves you. Is it not a wonderful study in human nature? I rather like it. How you New Yorkers have reduced living to a science! You certainly do know how to live. The city is so spick and span and smart. You can see it in the hotels, little and big, where there is always such system and such a neat and expeditious way of doing things. Why, the house-keeping of these great inns of yours is just marvellous. They took us through the Waldorf-Astoria the other night from cellar to roof garden. The kitchen was certainly a delight. Everything was shining and bright. I saw them making little automobiles out of almond paste and ice cream and nesselde pudding, but they didn't have any corn pone or any beaten biscuit in the whole house. No Green Anywhere. How big and clean and shiny the whole city is with its tall skyscrapers without a speck on them, just as though they were dusted every morning, and the great apartment houses which look as if they were washed all over every night! But how close together you all live! Down South we like to have large lawns and here you haven't anything like that, not even the Vanderbiltls. Even Mr. Morgan has only a tree or two. You scarcely have anything green around the houses to give your eyes a rest. We girls like to get out in the yard under the trees, where we can have tea and talk. New York is a wonderful place, and sometimes I feel that if I had a great deal of money I would like to live here for a while, and then again I am not so very sure of it. All the same, I must say that it certainly is a charming locality.—New York Herald. the ravages of Confederate privateers. Not all of these young men who sought New Brunswick for safety were residents of Maine by any means. Many came to Bucksport by the Boston boat, and went inland on stage or on foot or by private conveyance, as their finances dictated. If the stories of those refugees could be told, much of interest would be revealed. Every stage driver knew the "skedadlers," as they were called, and all paid heavy tribute to powers that controlled the routes. From 1862 to 1854 thousands of men from Maine and other New England States took advantage of the facilities offered by remote stage lines and effected their escape, though a majority of them returned and "squared" themselves with the Government before the close of the war. Incidentally, it may be well to say here that the famous Bar Harbor and Bangor line was claimed to be the swiftest and most elegant service by horse-power in the country.—Bangor (Me.) News. Fusing Rubies. Little rubles, the price of which is considerably below that of large ones of the same quality, are finely powdered, and then fused together in the electric furnace.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in the Case of Mrs. Fannie D. Fox. One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the conquering of woman's dread enemy, Tumor. The growth of a tumor is so sly that frequently its presence is not suspected until it is far advanced. Mrs. Fannie D. Fox So-called "wandering pains" may come from its early stages, or the presence of danger may be made manifest by profuse monthly periods, accompanied* by unusual pain, from the abdomen through the groin and thighs. If you have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation or displacement, secure a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound right away and begin its use. Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., will give you her advice if you will write her about yourself. She is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising sick women free of charge. Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I take the liberty to congratulate you on the success I have had with your wonderful medicines. Eighteen months ago my periods stopped. Shortly after I felt so bad that I submitted to a thorough examination by a physician and was told that I had a tumor and would have to undergo an operation. "Soon giver I read one of your advertisements and decided to give Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Cymbound a trial. After taking five bottles as directed the tumor is gone and I am examined by a physician and he says I have no signs of a tumor now. It has also brought my periods around once more, and I am entirely well."—Fannie D. Fox, 7 Chestnut Street, Bradford, Pa. The Earth's Motion. We have no direct sensation of the earth's motion because of its absolute smoothness and freedom from all jar or vibration, and, as everything—land, sea and air—is carried along at the same rate as ourselves, there is nothing to afford us any evidence that we are moving at all until we make reference to something altogether detached from the earth—as sun, moon or stars—and even then, until reasoning and mathematical calculation are brought to bear, it is these bodies and not ourselves which seem to move. Gliding in a boat down a smooth river it is often impossible to perceive that we are moving except by reference to objects on the banks, and even then it is difficult to resist the impression that they are in motion; we are at rest. The mere detail of speed does not affect the question, and, although the earth is rushing through space at the rate of eighteen miles a second, the motion, infinitely smoother than that of a boat on placid water, is absolutely imperceptible.

Lying awake nights makes it hard to keep awake and do things in day time. To take "tonics and stimulants" under such circumstances is like setting the house on fire to see if you can put it out. The right kind of food promotes refreshing sleep at night and a wide-awake individual. during the day. A lady changed from her old way of eating to Grape-Nuts and says: "For about three years I had been a great sufferer from indigestion. After trying several kinds of medicine the doctor would ask me to drop off potatoes, then meat, and so on, but in a few days that craving, gnawing feeling would start up and I would vomit everything I ate and drank. "When I started on Grape-Nuts, vomiting stopped, and the bloating feeling which was so distressing disappeared entirely. "My mother was very much bothered with diarrhea before commencing the Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was so weak she could not digest her food. Since using Grape-Nuts she is well, and says she don't think she could live without it. "It is a great brain restorer and nerve builder, for I can sleep as sound and undisturbed after a supper of Grape-Nuts as in the old days when I could not realize what they meant by a "bad stomach." There is no medicine so beneficial to nerves and brain as a good night's sleep, such as you can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. "There's a reason." A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY DR. W. S. LEWIS. Brooklyn, N. Y.—President W. S. Lewis, D. D., of Morningside College, Sioux City, Ia., is the vacation preacher in the Hanson Place M. E. Church. He began his services there Sunday morning and had a good audience. He is an excellent preacher. His subject was "The Fear of the Lord." The text was from Psalm xxv:14: "The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him, and' He will show them His covenants." Dr. Lewis said: Words, like men, are affected by the atmosphere in which they live. A word spoken 3000 years ago, but to another people, and in another clime, may fail to represent its highest and best meaning to those born in another age and under other skies. Many years have flown since this, word was spoken, and at least one of these in the text needs a word of explanation—fear. The good Book says: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom," but reference is made in the New Testament to the fact that perfect love casteth out fear. Thanks to the cross, the broken tomb, the descent of fire which spoke on cloven tongue, for a changed atmosphere, in which our text may read: "The secret of the Lord is with them that love Him." The problem of knowledge is not that, but how, it is. A few small philosophers have doubted the fact that they knew, but that is carrying doubt to the point of insanity. We know, and we know we know; the how that we know is the problem. That an idea may be passed from one mind to another, may even by crystallized into a word and remain pent up there from century to century, to break forth into another mind, to be reflected on, and on, through the ages. How this is, is more than we know. How that the mind may get a voice from the rocks so that the mountains shall speak and make themselves understood, and from the sky and from the sea. We know they speak, but how? That is the question. Do you think that God, who has expressed His love in flower, in brook, in sky, should have exhausted all His resources to make Himself known as He speaks from nature? God speaks to the heart, the inner world is His realm. This is His throne, and He leaves His secrets there to become the seed of thought, of inspiration and of action. The great problem of hearing His word and then to translate it through the tongue, the finger tips and footprints, so that it shall become the living word to other folks, is the problem of the hour. To whom will God speak? We raise this question to answer it by asking you to whom do you commit the secrets of your heart? Do you tell those who revile you, who have no faith in you, who speak ill of you? Do you tell these the secrets of your heart? It's a great thing to be a friend, to know how to awaken the spirit of friendship in others. To whom do you commit your secrets? The first quality of friendship is the capacity for faith. You cannot trust those in whom you do not believe. You cannot inspire in them the first note of friendship. The captious critic has no friends. The teacher who asks his pupil the hardest questions and criticises him because he falls to answer; the preacher who begins his service and ends it with a spirit of criticism, will not awaken in the heart the deepest, the best inspirations. We must begin by saying: "I believe in you." We must have the capacity for seeing the best and the truest in people. We are commanded in the good Book that we should love one another, and I trust we do, but I am thankful that that does not include that command that we must like everybody, for there are some folks whom it is hard to like, and of these are the third-volced, pinched-faced, hollow-eyed critic. The first quality, then, is that of inspiring people with the idea that we believe in them, and if we have faith in others, they will have faith in us, for faith in the heart begets faith in one another. It is so with God. If we would know Him and awaken within Him the power even of committing to us His secrets, we must believe, for with the heart the man believeth unto righteousness — that righteousness which brings the image of God into the face of clay. And then, too, we must tell our friends that we believe in them. I love flowers much, but pray you do not reserve them all for the funeral. Tell your friends you believe them; tell them that you love them. Speak with your lips, speak with your eye, speak with your finger tips. Tell them you love them. And God, too, is touched by the same testimony. "With the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Another quality absolutely essential to friendship, absolutely essential to true friendship with man and with God—and that is downright, sincere heart honesty. I heard a man say the other day: "My religion is to pay my debts." He answered the question of how much he is worth by a round $50,000, and I said: "Of course, you pay your debts. There is one a little less great than the Almighty who would be after you if you did not, for Uncle Sam sees to that." You will pay your debts, but that is not the measure of honesty in the sense in which I speak it now. It is that sort of spiritual honesty that would blush deeply to think a falsehood or to harbor in the heart one moment a shadowy thought. It is the kind of honesty that is born of a pure heart—a heart touched by the sunlight of His infinite love, a heart that is made clean by the power of His spirit. Such sincerity as this, such dowaright honesty of purpose, is loved of men and God alike. It is the basis of true friendship with man and with God. I read a new text the other day. It was as-old as the voice of David, but it came with a new voice, thus: "The Lord made known His ways unto Moses, and His acts unto the children of Israel." This is the distinction between Moses and the children of Israel. Moses understood the act of God, but some way he had the soul-reach which recognized the finger of God uniting act to act to tell the sweet story of His love. I remember once, when the children of Israel were hungry, and Moses cried to God. In the morning, on the sand of the 'desert, everywhere, were little round, white loaves, and the Israelite, standing in the door of his tent, said: "What is it?" "Manna." He ate the gift of God and his hunger was satisfied, and said in his heart: "This is the act of God." But Moses, looking on hungry Israel, satisfying its appetite, and looking up to the blue, said: "This is the way of God." Again, the Israelites cried for food, and God at the word of Moses sent qualls, and covered the camp, and the Israelites ate, and were satisfied, satisfied with the act of God, but the spirit of Moses would not rest until he saw through the act to the heart-beat of God, and he saw in qualls, in rain, in fire, everywhere, when God spoke, he saw His way. And once, when he climbed the mountain and stood in the presence of Jehovah for forty days, so catching the heart-beat of the Infinite that his face shone with peculiar glory, and he must needs cover it with a vell ere the children of Israel would look upon him. Would you know the difference between Moses and the children of Israel? Their bones were buried in the wilderness, while he, long after, climbed Nebo's height, and, as the old tradition says, God kissed his spirit from his body and buried the clay with His own hand, and gathered the soul to His bosom. We have heard from him once since, when on the Mountain of Transfiguration with Elijah he talked with the man of sorrows concerning the death which He should accomplish at Jerusalem. Moses lives because he learned the ways of God. And would you know the secret of this in everyday life? Some of you have said: "I am poor; I was born poor, and I have held my own." I saw a poor woman the other day. I was directed through a gate into a pasture, down over a hill, through another gate into a green plot of meadow, and there was a little lonely house. The chairs were poor, the stool was broken—poverty everywhere, save only in the face of the woman. Every joint save one was stiff with incurable disease, and with the right hand she toiled busily on for the little ones talt gathered about her feet. I thought that I would bring her a word of consolation, but it was I that was consoled, for in the silence and sorrow of poverty God had talked to her, and her face shone with His beauty, and her eye was bright with His glory. Her words were like ointment poured forth. She lived in the heart of the beatitudes. And once I saw a rich man whose money came easy, and one day he heard the voice of God, and like a brook from the mountain he poured forth his dollars to sweeten and bless society, as the brook makes beautiful the meadows through which it runs on its way to the ocean. He had learned the way of God in riches. And this is what I would say whether the gift be poverty or riches, sickness or health, prosperity or adversity, cloud or shine—they are but the acts of God, and out of these acts He allows us to weave the story of His love, and to learn the beautiful lesson of His ways to the children of men. Could I tell it all in one word, it is this: Can you remember the days when the smoke of the awful war between the North and the South was beginning to drift toward the ocean? Can you remember the last days of the war? One incident lingers in my memory. It was up in the Adirondack Mountains. A boy had gone from the home early in the sixties—gone to the war. Day after day a mother had prayed—prayed with such importunity, prayed with such faith, that the boy might come home—but the winter of '65, in March, the snow had fallen so deep that it covered the fence, and then a thaw, and then a frost, and the crust was so thick that a beast could walk over it without breaking through. In the early days of March a friend walked fourteen miles over the mountains. He came to the home, and brought a paper, and said: "A battle has been fought, a battle down on the ocean at Fort Fisher, and a stronghold has been taken." And then his voice grew hoarse. He said the battle had cost us much, and then a tear came into his eye, and then he read a long list of the slain, and when his voice snake one word it read: "Charles L—killed in the fort, buried in the trenches. And the woman did not cry out, but went up stairs and stayed there all the rest of that day and that night, and until the afternoon of the next day. We thought she might never come down, for we had learned of Moses in the presence of God. But in the afternoon she came down, and her face shown like the face of an angel. In the secret of a great sob you may learn the secret of God. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him, and He will show them His covenants. The Chief Duty. There are times when it is a duty to make money; but the man does not live whose chief duty it is to make money, nor whose chief attention can safely be given to money-making. If one gives money-making first place, both his work and his judgment are undermined and unreliable. If he jets the opportunity to make money be the usual determining factor in his decisions, he is building character on about as stable a foundation as that man who heard Christ's words and did them not. In at least nine cases, out of ten there is a better reason for or against any given course of action than a money-making reason. Those who will not believe this soon come to be recognized by their fellows as branded by the dollar mark. And such a mark is the sign of a slavery which robs life of all its real richness. Make a Friend of Christ. As we must spend time in cultivating our earthly friendships if we are to have their blessings, so we must spend time in cultivating the companionship of Christ. Be Kind. God has put in our power the happiness of those about us, and that is largely to be secured by our being kind.—Henry Drummond. Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed Errors About the White House. To the Editor: I noticed somewhere recently—I would not say positively that it was in your columns—an article on the White House which contained several mis-statements. In the first place it was stated the White House was first occupied in 1809, and that its first occupant was President Madison. The fact is, its first occupant was President Adams, who took up his residence there in 1800. The original mansion was begun in 1792. In 1814 it was burned by the British and rebuilt in 1818. Another of the errors in the article referred to was the statement that ready-prepared paint is used on the White House to make it beautifully white. I noticed this especially because I have used considerable paint myself, and wondered that "canned" paint should be used on such an important building, when all painters know that pure white lead and linseed oil make the best paint. It so happened also that I knew white lead and linseed oil — not ready-mixed paint—were used on the White House, because I had just read a booklet published by a firm of ready-mixed paint manufacturers, who also manufacture pure white lead. In that book the manufacturers admitted that for the White House nothing but "the best and purest of paint could be used," and said that their pure white lead had been selected. Above all people those who attempt to write on historical subjects should give us facts, even if it is only a date or a statement about wood, or brick, or paint, or other building material. Yours for truth, Keep Still. Many a man whose life has had in it a good deal of trouble and opposition would have saved much if he had learned in his childhood the lesson of "keep silent." If the hard words hurt, it will not make it easier to make an angry reply. If you do not answer at all, it stops right there; if your tongue cannot be restrained, nobody knows what the result may be. You will find again and again that the way to keep out of trouble is to keep still.—Argus. BACKACHE IS KIDNEYACHE. Get at the Cause—Cure the Kidneys. Don't neglect backache.

Eruption Broke Out in Spots All Over Body—Cured at Expense of Only $1.25—Thanks Cuticura Remedies. "The Cuticura Remedies cured me of my skin disease, and I am very thankful to you. My trouble was crusion of the skin, which broke out in spots all over my body, and caused a continual itching, which nearly drove me wild at times. I got medicine of a doctor, but it did not cure me, and when I saw in a paper your ad., I sent to you for the Cuticura book and I studied my case in it. I then went to the drug store and bought one cake of Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura Ointment and one vial of Cuticura Pills. From the first application I received relief. I used the first set and two extra cakes of Cuticura Soap, and was completely cured. I had suffered; for two years, and I again thank Cuticura for my cure. Claude N. Johnson, Maple Grove Farm, R. F.

They stand washing like a pocket handkerchief if treated to lukewarm water and pure soap. Face powder rubbed into a clean chamols skin will keep the skin free from the disagreeable, shiny appearance that characterizes the face of a neglectful woman.

G. aranteed For Next Governor of Alabama in State Primary. Other Officers Selected, Sesides Nam- ing Two Alternate Candidates for United States Senators to Suc- ceed Morgan and Pettus. The democrats of Alabama Monday elected state officers by a primary and also voted for two candidates for United States senator. Owing to the great age of the pres- ent senators from Alabama, who had no opposition to re-election, two c candidates for alternates were voted for. These alternates will be appointed by the governor or elected by the legislature in case of the death or disability of the present incumbents. For governor, Hon. B. B. Comer of Birmingham was nominated over Dr. R. M. Cunningham of Ensley by a majority estimated at from 5,000 to 8,000. For lieutenant governor, H. B. Gray of Birmingham and D. J. Meador of Myrtlewood are in the lead, the returns at hand being insufficient to name the winner. For United States senator John T. Morgan and Edmund W. Pettus had no opposition. For alternate United States senator, Joseph W. Johnston, John H. Bankhead and John A. Knox are in the lead. Unofficial returns from 27 counties indicate that former Governor Joseph F. Johnston and Congressman J. H. Bankhead have been nominated. O. W. Underwood of the ninth congressional district was renominated and W. B. Craig of Selma was nominated to succeed Sydney Bowle as congressman for the fourth district. The issue in the governorship contest was freight rates. Comer making his race on a platform which demanded that the railroads grant to Alabama shippers the same rates as are enforced by the Georgia railroad commission in that state. Every return indicates that Judge Weakley has been nominated for chief justice of the supreme court, which is a surprise to even his most intimate friends. The race for auditor is close. There are seven candidates for associate railroad commissioners, two to be elected, and it is impossible to pick the winners. There are two associate justices of the supreme court to be elected, and five candidates with no indication of the leaders. The candidates are: A. Bilbo, T. W. Coleman, J. R. Dowdell, T. C. McClelland and W. L. Parks. GEORGIA'S TREMENDOUS GAIN. Total of Tax Returns for the Year 1906 is $624,465,472. The gigantic total of Georgia's tax returns for 1906 is $624,465,472! It is an increase of more than $46,500,000 over the total returns for 1905. Of this increase $40,423,050 is shown on the county digests. Then there was an increase of $6, 192,140 in the corporations returns made to the comptroller general, making the grand total of increase $46, 625,190. This increase means an additional income of something like $230,000 to the state on a 5-mills basis, but the state tax rate, it is thought, will be considerably below that maximum figure. The total tax returns on the county digests this year are $535,253,338, and the total corporation returns $89,212,134. Adopts Simplified Spelling.

KILLED HUSBAND AND BABES. Woman Becomes Suddenly Insane and Deals Death With Axe. Suddenly becoming insane, Mrs. Frank Polsgrove, wife of a well known farmer near Pliggott, Ark., killed her husband and 4-year-old child with an aye and fatally wounded her two other children, a boy of 13 and a girl of seven. The demented woman then set fire to the building, the bodies of the man and 4-year-old child being cremated. The other two children were found nearby, badly mutilated and in a dying condition. The mother, when apprehended, confessed her crime and begged that she be killed. ALICE ACCEPTS HONOR. Mrz. Longworth to Unveil McKinley Statue at Columbus, O.

A St. Petersburg special says: The distribution of crown apanages, the first part of the administration agrarian program, by which it is hoped to win the peasantry to the support of the government at the coming elections, was put in effect Monday, when an ukase was published transferring the 4,500,000 acres of apanage lands to the Peasant's bank for distribution. The urgency of the situation is such that the ukase, which was signed the day of the attempt on the life of Premier Stolypin, was gazetted without waiting for final decision as to the method and terms of payment. The principal question whether the latter shall be 33 or 60 years, has not yet been decided. The announcement on this point and of the transfer of ten millions acres of crown lands will be made later. The lands chosen for this first distribution include 1.

A St. Petersburg special says: The open campaign against the government which the socialists inaugurated with the attempt on the life of Premier Stolypin Saturday and the assassination of General Min Sunday, has produced such feeling of resentment at Peterhof that the specter of a dictatorship has been revived. The government, it is claimed, can only rely on force to fight the terrorists, as the public press, which might be expected to manifest a revulsion of feeling against the crime which sacrificed the lives of a score of innocent persons, in the attempt to murder a man who personally had not given cause for offense, remains coldly indifferent. Indeed, while expressing formal words of condemnation, the hidden satisfaction of the fact that the object of the campaign is to strike terror into the heart of the government is hardly concealed. Only the Novoe Vremya and the official Rossia denounce the terrorists as enemies of society. The conclusions of the liberal press are summed up in the charge made by the Rech that, the government alone is guilty and responsible for what has happened. RAILROADS CAUGHT NAPPING. Nohe of Them Able to Comply In Full With New Rate Law. A New York special says: The new railroad rate law, which applies to all railroads doing an interstate commerce business, went into effect at midnight Monday night. It will be enforced by the interestate commerce commission. According to the new law the roads were to have filed with the commission by midnight all their tariffs and charges, showing not only the full cost of transportation from point to point, but also what items go to the making up of this cost. It is stated that in fact not a single company had been able to fully comply with the provisions of the law requiring them to have all their schedules on file by midnight. The schedule of switching charges was the most difficult of completion. Under the law every company, which failed to complete its schedules might be fined, but it is understood that the interstate commerce commission will give sufficient additional time in every case when a road has given evidence of sincere intent to comply with the law. Under the new law the country begins upon a new era so far as passes and free transportation is concerned and the death knell of special privileges is sounded. JOKE-BECOMES INTERNATIONAL Secretary Taft Gave His Seat in Street Car to Three Women. Secretary Taft has found his way into comic papers all over the world, as a result of the joke Associate Justice Brewer, of the United States supreme court, told on the rotund secretary of war at the recent Yale commencement. "Yale men are very polite," said Brewer. "But Secretary Taft is the most polite man I ever saw in my life. Why, the other day I was in a street car with him and he got up and gave his seat to three women." Battallon Is, Finally Sent Away, From Fort Brown, Texas. A dispatch was received at the war department Saturday from Major Penrose, commanding the battalion of negro troops at Fort Brown, Texas, announcing that his command left Brownsville for Fort Reno Saturday morning. Major Penrose makes no mention of a number of troopers said to have been arrested. President Roosevelt Converted to the New-Style Spelling List of 300 Words That Hereafter in All Messages and Documents From the White House Will Be Printed According to the Recommendation of the Matthews Committee. President Roosevelt announced his conversion to the spelling reform movement. He has issued orders to Public Printer Stillings that all messages from the President and all other documents' coming from the White House shall be printed in accordance with the recommendations of the spelling reform committee headed by Professor Brander Matthews, of Columbia, and backed by Andrew Carnegie. Spelling reform had its greatest impetus when Andrew Carnegie made an offer to finance it. For many years professors and others have been laboring to have the public accept reforms in the spelling of certain words. The public, while admitting that the existing spelling is a philological monstrosity, refused to take kindly to the suggested changes. When Andrew Carnegie announced himself as a convert to the reform the matter was discussed more than at any time within the past 100 years. Mark Twain promised to take it up after Mr. Carnegie had announced his conversion and had agreed to finance the organization of reformers calling themselves the Simplified Spelling Board, of which Brander Matthews is the president of the Executive Board. This board announced at the beginning that it did not propose any radical or revolutionary scheme of reform, but simply wanted to make easy the spelling of certain words. It selected 300 words which it asked the public to accent. Following is the list of 300 words already given out by the Simplified Spelling Board in which changes are proposed: NEW FORM. abridgment abridgement accouter accoutre accurst accursed acknowledgment acknowledgement addrest addressed adz adze aftho affixed altho although anapest anapaest anemia anaemia anesthesia anaesthesia antipyrin antipyrin antitoxin antitoxine apothem apothegm apprise apprise arbor arbour ardcheology ardcheology ardor ardour armor armour artizan artisan assize axe axe bans banns bark barque behavior behaviour blest blessed blusht blushed brazen brasen brazier brazier bun bunn bur burr caliber calibre caliper caliper candor candour carest carest catalog catalogue catechize catechise center centre chapt chapped check checque checker chequer chimera chimaera civilize civilise clamour clamour crangor crangour clapt clapped claspt clasped clipt clipped clue clew coeval coeval color colour colter coulter commixt commixed comprest compressed comprize comprise corfess confessed controller comptroller coquet coquette criticize citicise cropt cropped crost cropped crusht crushed cue queue curst curse cutlas cutlass cyclopedia cyclopaedia dactyl dactyle dasht dashed decalog decalogue defense defence demagog demagogue demeanor demeanour deposit deposite deprest depressed develop develop dieresis diareesis, diaeresis dike dike dipt dipped disqust discussed dispatch despatch distil distill distrest distressed dolor dolour domicil domicile draft draught dram drachm drest dressed dript dripped droopt drooped dropt dropped dulness dullness ecumenical ecumenical edile aedile egis aegis enamor enamour encyclopedia encyclopaedia endeavor endeavour envelop envelope Eolian Aeolian eon eon epaulet epaulette eponym eponyme era aera esophagus aesophagus esthetic aesthetic esthetics aesthetics estivate estivate ether ether etiologyetiology exorcuse exorcuse exprest expressed fagot fagot fantasm phantasm fantasy phantasy fantom phantom favor favour favorite favour fervor fervor NORTH WEST AND SOUTH WEST. *57 Via Jesup *58 6 45p Lv..Savannah..Ar 9 45a 8 30p Ar...Jesup..Lv 7 45a 8 00a " ..Mason..." 2 15a 5 20a " ..Atlanta..." 11 50p 9 43a " ..Chatnooga" 6 30p 7 15p " ..Louisville" 8 50a 7 40p " ..Cincinnati" 8 30a 10 00a " ..St. Louis..." 6 12p 7 70a " ..Chicago..." 8 30p 7 09a Lv..Atlanta..Ar 10 08p 6 05p Ar..Memphis..Lv 8 15a 9 40a Kansas City." 6 30p *Dally.

THREE YOUNG WOMEN DROWNED Went Bathing in Small Branch and Fell Into Deep Pool. Three young women were drowned Saturday afternoon while bathing in a small branch in the northern suburbs of Griffin, Ga. They were: Mrs. A. R. Spangler, a bride of a few months, aged 15 years; Miss Beulah Hancock, aged 16, and Miss Pearl Ramsey, of Columbus, Ga., aged 18. The only eye-witness to the affair was a 4-year-old sleeper of Miss Hancock, and the little tot is so badly frightened that she can give only very meager particulars. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon Mrs Spangler called at the Hancock home and asked Miss Hancock and her guest, Miss Rzmsey, to accompany her to the branch, only a few hundred yards distant, to get some white clay. Reaching the branch they found in a secluded spot a pool about twelve feet wide and twenty feet long and decided to take a bath. They disrobed and a negro woman, working in a field near by, saw one of them jump from the bank into the water several feet below and a few moments later the other two followed. Attracted by screams, the negro woman ran to the rescue, but when she arrived nothing was seen but the placid surface of the pool. The bodies were later found all together, and medical aid was too late. Locked in each others arms they had gone down and all were beyond human aid. *89 *57 Vla Montgomery. *58 *22 3 15a 6 45p Lv..Savannah..Ar Ar ..Lv 9 40a 9 80 6 15p 8 05a "N'tgomery."
