The executive committee of the Southern Cotton Association, at Friday's session at Hot Springs, recommended to its members and the cotton growers of the south that no cotton be sold during the present season at less than 10 cents per pound In a resolution adopted by the committee, it is stated that the crop is in a state of deterioration and for that reason no estimate of the crop was made. The resolution states, however, that the committee is satisfied that the crop will not be as large as the current estimate. The placing of the minimum price at 10 cents was in the nature of a victory for the conservative element of the association. In the executive session of the committee, which was continued throughout the day, the highest price named as a minimum was 12 cents. The resolution adopted by the committee, which is in the shape of an address to the public, follows: "Inasmuch as we, the cotton growers of the south, know that there has been great deterioration in the cotton crop since August 15, and, "Whereas, the consensus of opinion of the members of this committee is that the deterioration is still going on, we deem it unwise to make an estimate of the crop at this time. We are satisfied that the crop will, not be as large as the current estimate. "We, therefore, suggest and urge upon all our members and producers throughout the south not to sell their cotton at a figure less than the cost of production. "Owing to the high price of the cost of living and scarcity of labor, we feel, in order for the farmer who raises cotton to live, feed and clothe himself and family set aside a small pittance for the improvement of his farm, it is necessary that cotton should not be sold below the bread and meat line, which is 10 cents. "In fixing 10 cents per pound as the limit below which it should not be sold, we have no reference to the crop or any immediate condition. "We call upon all southern interests to aid in maintaining for all time this price as a minimum. We urge the necessity of marketing the crop slowly and only on an advancing market, and withdraw all cotton from the market at every decline. "We appreciate and thank the press for the valued service of the past and urge those interests of the south to assist in every manner possible to maintain this minimum price." "We appreciate and thank the merchants and bankers for the noble manner in which they have stood by the farmers in the past and urge a continuation of their co-operation and support. FARMERS UNION WILL "STAND PAT" FOR ELEVEN CENTS. Friday, the third day of the convention of the National Farmers' Educational and Co-Operative Union, in session at Texarkana, Texas, was perhaps the busiest of the meeting. The morning session was taken up for the most part in hearing the report of the national executive committee. This report shows the affairs of the organization, financial and otherwise, to be excellent condition, also that the books and accounts of all officers were correct. The afternoon was largely devoted to addresses and debates, including the cotton warehouse proposition. The report sent out Thursday night as to the fixing of the minimum price for cotton seed was inaccurate. The price was fixed at $15 per ton throughout the entire cotton belt, regardless of section. Several leading members of the organization were asked for an expression of what they thought of the action of the Southern Cotton Association at Hot Springs in placing the minimum price of cotton at 10 cents, and the verdict was unanimous that the National Farmers' Union will stand pat for 11 cents. President Duckworth said: "We will stick for 11 cents. The deterioration of the general condition of cotton during the last two weeks is sufficient evidence to prove that the union has not placed the price (11 cents) too high." SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 15, 1906. SEVEN DIE IN WRECK. Disastrous Head-On Collision of Two Freight Trains on W. & A. Railroad Results from Forgotten Orders. Because Engineer C. H. Clements forgot his orders and failed to take the sliding at Ringgold, Ga., Western and Atlantic railway freight trains No. 8, northbound, and the third section of No. 13, southbound, crashed together one mile north of Ringgold at 1:30 o'clock Wednesday morning, and seven members of the two crews met almost instant death. The killed are: T. Y. Whitehead, conductor, Atlanta; C. W. Fisher, engineer, Atlanta; C. H. Clements; engineer, Atlanta; J. W. Kinnamon, fireman, Atlanta; W. B. Shelton, brakeman, Kennesaw, Ga; W. M. Slaughter, fireman, Atlanta; Walter Smith, apprentice fireman, Winchester, Penn. Homer Robertson, a brakeman of the northbound freight, jumped from the cab window as the engines came together and escaped with severe bruises. W. D. Adams, conductor on No. 8, was in the rear of the train, and is the only one of the crew to escape unhurt. The wreck is believed to have been due to Engineer Clements overlooking orders to meet the southbound at Ringgold. Orders sent out early In the evening were for the two trains to meet at Graysville, but later were countermanded and new orders issued providing for No. 8, the train of Engineer Clements, to meet the third section of No. 13, at Ringgold. Duplicate copies of the new orders were issued to the crews of the two trains. Engineer Clements must have forgotten the change in orders, or the instructions to meet at Graysville were held tenactiously in his mind, for instead of stopping his train at Ring-gold, he rushed past the station and one mile farther on the two heavy freights, with a roar that was heard for miles around, crashed together. The lives of seven men were snuffed out almost instantly. Brukeman Homer Robertson had run ahead, making the best time possible over the swaying freight cars, to remind the ill-fated engineer that orders were to stop at Ringgold. Just as he reached the cab the headlight of the other engine came into view and he jumped, saving his life. Though severely bruised, it is believed that he will recover. Had he reached the cab a moment sooner the awful accident would have been avoided. According to official report train No. 8 was running at an estimated speed of fifteen miles an hour out of Ring-gold, and No. 13, southbound, was making about 35 miles an hour. It is not hard to believe, however, that the northbound freight, with Engineer Clements at the throttle, was making even faster time, for he had already run about a mile past the meeting point and was going down a slight incline. No. 13, with the aided momentum, gathered in a long descent, had about reached the bottom of the grade when the train it was rushing to meet crashed into it with terrific force. "Jim Crow" Street Car Regulation for Savananh. The Savannah, Ga., city council Wednesday afternoon passed an ordinance providing for the separation of the races aboard the street cars in the city. A delegation of negroes of the city appeared before the council in opposition to the measure, and their protest was heard. It was of no avail, however, the passage of the ordinance being unanimous. No separate compartments are required, but merely separate seats. STENSLAND IS INDICTED. Chicago Grand Jury. Takes Action Against Prisoner in Tandler. Against Prisoner in Tangier. The grand jury at Chicago has voted indictments against Paul O. Stensland, former president of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank, and now under arrest in Tangler, and Henry W. Herring, the ex-cashier, now confined in the county jail in Chicago. More than a score of indictments were returned against each man. NEILL KILLED BY CAR. Well Known New Orleans Cotton Statistician Meets Accidental Death. Henry M. Neill, one of the best known cotton statisticians, both in this country and in England, was struck by a street car in New Orleans and died shortly afterward from his injuries. Mr. Neill, while waiting for a car stood too close to the tracks and was knocked down. He was at one time considered by English spinners as one of the greatest crop authorities in America. Mr. Neill was born in England and was 78 years old. HAVANA IS GUARDED The Cuban Capital Virtually in State of Siege. Government Prepared to Give Rebels a Hot Reception—Warship of Uncle Sam is Sent to Protect American Interests. A special from Havana, Cuba, says: So far as war developments went on Tuesday, it was one of the quietest days since the outbreak of the insurrection; but, the public interest was deeper and discussion more animated and earnest than on any preceding day. The government's outright declaration that the war will be prosecuted to a finish was everywhere the scle topic of conversation. Tuesday afternoon the government forces in Havana paraded through the principal streets, and were greeted with some enthusiasm. The parade, which was headed by the fine artillery band, consisted of 400 mounted rural guards, clad in the regulation khaki uniform of that organization, 200 mounted city militia, 600 infantry, rural guards and volunteers and a city militia company of artillery with two machine, gun batteries. The parade was reviewed by President Palma at the palace. Particular plans have been prepared for the defense of the outskirts of the city. The American Captain Reno's rapid fire battery keeps nightly vigil at La Fuera Castle in front of the palace, prepared to sweep the Place de Arms park, fronting on the palace, in the event of any surprises in that quarter. All the publishers and editors of newspapers were summoned Tuesday afternoon to the office of the secretary of the interior and informed that while the suspension of constitutional rights had not affected the customary liberty of the press the publication of anything that might be construed as incendiar or in any way inciting to revolution would not be tolerated, and that the government during the existence of the court martial law, had assumed the right to suppress any newspaper which offended in this respect and if deemed advisable to arrest those who are responsible. A Washington special says: American shipping and commercial interests about Havana, Cuba, are to have the protection of an American war ship in Cuban waters. While government officials show an inclination not to discuss Cuban affairs in any particular, there can be no doubt about the attitude of the officials that the cruiser Des, Moines, which cleared from Norfolk, Va., Monday, presumably to keep a watch on the filibusters, sailed really on a state department mission, and it is rumored in official circles that she will proceed immediately to Havana. Emphatically Refuses Permit tq Socialists to Speak In Streets. Mayor Woodward of Atlanta in no uncertain words dismissed a committee representing J. B. Osborne, the socialist leader and candidate for governor of Georgia. Tuesday morning after tearing up a petition urging that the blind orator be allowed to speak in "Under no conditions will I give the streets, permit him to speak in the sfreets," said Mayor Woodward, "and if he is again placed in the city stockade he will have to serve his sentence out, so far as I am concerned. Don't bring me any petitions like this." Doctors Form Insurance Company. The Interstate Life Insurance, company, with a capital of a half million dollars, the funds, to be supplied by the physiclang of the south, has been chartered at Nashville, Tenn. CONVENTIONS FOR NASHVILLE. Quarantine and Immigration and Industrial Association Meetings. The Southern Quarantine and Immigration convention will meet in Nashville, Tenn., on November 12, 13 and 14. The governors of all the southern states have signified their intention of being present. The Southern Industrial Association will meet in conjunction with the immigration and quarantine convention, and the delegates to both meetings are practically the same. MARTIAL LAW IN CUBA. Palma Gives Up Hope of Peace and Issues Descree Calling For Arrest of Paramilitary Liberals A special from Havana says: President Palma Monday night issued a decree suspending all constitutional guarantees, with special reference to articles 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24 and 27 in the provinces of Pinar del Río, Havana and Santa Clara. The law enforcing public order, which is equivalent to martial law, also is put in immediate effect in the three provinces named. A supplement decree has been issued suspending the decree of August 28, pardoning the repentant rebels, and ordering that all rebels be arrested. Both decrees have been communicated to all officers in the field. Coincident with the issuance of decree which followed a decision not to yield to the peace demands the government ordered the arrest of practically every prominent liberal. When the news of issuing of these decrees reached the veterans' peace commission there was immediate and almost unanimous denunciation of President Palma and other members of the government. The government does not intend that membership in congress shall shield anybody from arrest. Senator Morua Delgado was one of the first arrested, and several representatives were quickly added to the list of prisoners. Former congressmen and veterans are being searched for by the police. Senator Zayas and most of the leading liberals have mysteriously disappeared. RAWLINGS BOYS SENT,ENCED. Notorious Case Brought Before Court For Fourth Time. At Valdosta, Ga., Monday, Milton, Jesse and Leonard Rawlings appeared before Judge Mitchell, of the superior court for the fourth time, and had sentence passed upon them for their alleged complicity in the murder of the Carter children. Milton and Jesse were sentenced to be hanged on the second day of October, and Leonard was again sentenced to life imprisonment. When asked by the judge whether they had anything to say, why sentence should not be pronounced upon them, Milton and Jesse declined to say anything. Leonard only said, that he was not guilty of the crime with which he was charged. Alf. Moore, the negro, convicted of complicity in the murders, is already under sentence of death; to be executed on October 5. The case of J. G. Rawlings, father of the boys, is now before the United States supreme court on an extraordinary motion for a new trial, and it is likely that the boys and the negro Moore will be again respited in the event that the old man's case is not decided before the dates set for their execution. It is stated that Leonard Rawlings will be taken to the penitentiary again as soon as an order is received for his transfer. RESULT OF MAINE BALLOTS. Republican Plurality Small-Gompers Failed to Down Littlefield. Governor William T. Cobb, republican, standing on a platform devoted almost exclusively to a continuance of the prohibition law of the state, was re-elected in the state of Malne Monday by a plurality of less than 8,000, with but few exceptions, the smallest margin of votes ever given a republican governor in the state. Cyrus W. Davis, the democratic candidate for governor, polled one of the largest votes in the history of the party in the state. His issue in the campaign was the resubmission of the liquor question, which was incorporated in the state legislature four years ago.* More interesting from a certain standpoint was the re-election of Congressman Littlefield, republican, by a greatly reduced plurality. Littlefield's candidacy was the subject of bitter opposition on the part of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who asked for his defeat on the grounds that he had voted against certain labor measures at the last session of congress. EMBALMED BEEF POISONOUS. Ten Persons Made Dangerously If From Eating the Stuff. Ten persons in three different families of Kalamazoo, Mich., have been lying at the point of death, suffering from the effects of eating dried beef. A partial investigation has revealed that the meat came originally from one of the large packing houses. The physicians are of the opinion that some sort of embalming fluid was the cause of the poisoning. COMER WINS EASY In Initial Strength Test Before Alabama Convention. HIS FOLLOWERS CONTROL All Nominations Unanimous—Jelk's Administration and Hon. W. J. Bryan Indorsed—Concise Platform Adopted. The followers of B. B. Comer wiped out all opposition in the Alabama state democratic convention in session at Montgomery Monday, and are now in complete control of the democracy on the state. The contest came on the proposition to increase the state executive committee from 36 to 45 and elect them by the vote of the state instead of by districts as now. The Comer men voted for the election by the whole state and won out on a vote of 2 to 1. The administration of Governor Jelks was Indorsed, as was Mr. Bryan. A contest occurred early in the evening on a proposition to adopt a plan to reduce the representation of the black belt in the state convention by allowing representation only on white population. It was lost. John R. Tyson and S. D. Weakly were nominated for chief justice and Tyson declared nominated on the primary vote of 322.56 to 291.44. On motion of E. K. Campbell, of Jefferson, the nominations were made unanimous. All other candidates withdrawing, J. R. Dowdell and T. C. McClellan were nominated for associate judges of the supreme court. H. S. D. Mallory, of Selma, present chairman, was elected chairman of the executive committee. An executive committee, submitted by the Comer followers, was then selected. The platform adopted makes the following reference to W. J. Bryan: "We indorse all essential principles and policies advocated by democracy's great leader, W. J. Bryan, especially his arraignment of trusts, private monopolies and abuses of public service corporations. We proclaim him the greatest democrat of our time, and believe in his overwhelming election as president of the United States. We indorse him as the standard bearer of our party in 1908. "In line with the policies of our leader, we favor the complete control and regulation of all corporations, and the annihilation of trusts by the national and state governments acting within their respective spheres, and demand the absolute divorcement of railroad and trust influences from national and state affairs." Regarding the plan of nominating alternates to succeed United States Senators Morgan and Peltus in case of their death, the platform says: "We disapprove the action of the late democratic executive committee in this state in requiring candidates for governor to pledge themselves in advance of election to make appointments to fill anticipated vacancies in the office of United States senators, otherwise than under the obligation of their oaths of office as required by law. "We recommend that the governor, who shall be elected in November, 1966, fill any vacancies occurring in the office of United States senator from this state, after his induction into office by appointing to fill the first vacancy thus occurring the person who received in the late democratic primary the highest number of votes for alternate senator, and by appointment to fill the next vacancy thus occurring the person who received in said primary the next highest number of votes, for alternate senator—said appointment or appointments to continue and be effective only until the meeting of the next regular or extraordinary session of the legislature. "We favor an amendment to the constitution of the United States requiring United States senators to be elected by a direct vote of the people." CHINKS WAR ON FOREIGNERS. American Business Interests Menaced by Another Uprising. Mail advices received in Washington from China are disquieting to Americans having financial interests in the Orient. There is no abatement of the anti-foreign feeling, and the animosity is no longer confined to Americans, but includes all foreigners except Japanese. A formidable party has arisen and is conducting an active propaganda. It is known as "restorer of rights" and its purpose is to drive the foreigners out of business in China. Secretary of Cotton Association Found "Not Guilty" of Speculating by Executive Committee. At Friday night's session of the executive committee of the Southern Cotton Association at Hot Springs, Ark., Richard Cheatham, secretary of the association, was exonerated of the charge of dealing in futures while an official of the association. Incorporated in the resolution clearing Cheatham was an expression providing that it shall constitute an offense in the future for any official or member of the executive committee or member of any state committee to deal in futures. The resolution exonerating Cheatham declares: "That while all form of speculation is disapproved of, yet the committee finds that Mr. Cheatham was acting only for other parties and in view of the fact that there is nothing in the constitution which makes a person incompetent to hold office because he deals in futures, and because of Mr. Cheatham's efficiency and of the fact that we believe the assaults on Cheatham came from the enemies of this association we dismiss the charges as unworthy of further consideration, and denounce all charges made against Mr. Cheatham except what is hereinbefore stated, as false. "That in the future it shall constitute an offense against this association for any officer or member of the executive committee or state officer to in any way deal in futures, and any one violating this shall be expelled from office." The report, which is signed by a committee composed of D. B. Irvin, E. W. Smith and L. E. Love, was adopted by a vote of 11 to. 5. SULLIVAN HURLS THE LIE Illinois Committeeman Comes Back at Bryan with Hot Shot. Roger C. Sullivan, member from Illinois of the democratic national committee, has issued a lengthy statement in which he replies to the recent attacks made upon him by Bryan. The following is an extract of Mr. Sullivan's remarks: "In his Jefferson Club banquet speech at Chicago Tuesday evening William J. Bryan again saw fit to make the excuse for exploiting his new ambition to convert the democratic party of the United States into an autocracy with himself on the dictator's throne. I regret that he has done so, as I would regret any incident or circumstance tending toward discord in the democratic party. "If portions of Mr. Bryal's speech mean anything, they mean that he would rather have his own way than have the democrats elected to congress or any other office. He has invited all Illinois democrats who agree with him in his opposition to me to hold their ticket. If there are any democrats in Illinois who are disposed to act on this typically Bryanistic advice, many of them unfortunately will be found in congressional districts which are close, but in which, with united effort, we have a good chance to elect democratic congressmen. If these districts send republicans to the next national house of representatives, the democratic party of the nation will have Mr. Bryan to thank. "Mr. Bryan has said by inuende that I, as an official of the Ogden Gas company of Chicago, have secured government favor and profit by alleged illegal or corrupt means. "He harps on my connection with the Ogden Gas company as if that connection were disreputable. The public press will show that the only offense this corporation ever committed was to reduce the price of gas. "The very first paragraph in Mr. Bryan's speech on me and on the Illinois situation contains a delibereate untruth. Practically every succeeding paragraph contains either a delibereate untruth or an equivocation of the kind that we expect only from the shifty, word-jugling petifogger." SECRET WATCH ON CUBA. Policy of Silence Maintained by State Department. If the state department has advises from Havana regarding the movement of troops in Cuba from Mr. Sleeper it has determined on a policy of silence. It is stated that intervention has not been asked nor has its possibility been considered, yet orders have been issued through the war and state departments for a close observation and report of all conflicts between the opposing forces in the island. SOL. C. JOHNSON, Supt. of Ageno COOPER, General Manager. The undesigned, Treasurer of the State of Georgia, hereby acknowledges to have received from the Secretary of Dawson the following description: Dear Regiment and Company of 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. R. E. Parsi Treasurer of the State of Georgia. A WARNING TO DELEGATES TO THE B. M. C. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 10, 1986. Mr.. Editor; I beg space in your valuable paper to again warn the lodges of the G. U. O. O. F. and delegates to the 13th B. M. C. at Richmond. I notice in the Atlanta Independent of September 8th an article published by H L. Wilson, D. G. M. of Georgia, urging the delegates to rally to Richmond for the purpose of electing B. J. Davis grand treasurer. Now, Mr. Editor, this looks somewhat strange, as I have always been taught that it is strictly against the laws of our order to canvass votes, either in or out of the lodge. Truly it is strange for our grand master to come out in a public press and advocate the election of any brother for office. It appears that the district grand master has assumed the leadership of the Georgia delegation without authority. I presume that he will have as his first and second lieutenants H. L. Johnson and A. Graves, which composes the Big Four that appears to be running the entire order in Georgia. I cannot believe that the delegates going to the B. M. C. will allow themselves to be dictated to or led by men that have never attended a meeting of a B. M. C. Now, let us see who this Big Four is. First, if anyone will investigate the records of the prison commission office of Georgia and the records of the United States Circuit Court of the Northern District of Georgia and the records of the Fulton County Superior Court of Georgia they would wonder why the first three named men are in the order, as for the last named person it is well known that he could not get twenty per cent of the votes in his county for anything, but was elected D. G. T. by two votes of the D. G. L. Executive Board, although being in the order less than thirty-six months, over brothers who have been members of the order for twenty-five years. In closing, brother delegates, I beg you to retain from pledges or promises until the delegates have gotten together, and after careful consideration, agree as to whom would be the most suitable or proper person to support for officers of the sub-committee of management. It is true that Georgia has not settled on any person for the office of grand treasurer, and if one B. J. Davis, who is editor of the Atlanta Independent, and delights in running his picture in his own paper, is to be the man selected from Georgia, I do not think we should select one. As to the reference of H. L. Wilson, in his article; relative to endowment, which is one of his old political tricks, NIGHT TRAINS SAVANNAH & MONTGOMERY. VIA SEABOARD AIR LINE RAILWAY. WESTBOUND.

MORGAN WILLIAMS. AN APPEAL TO THE COLORED CITIZENS. Mr. Editor: Please allow me a space in your paper to state the following: I appeal to the colored citizens to withdraw their money out of the white savings banks and deposit it in some colored bank. It is just as well to trust the colored man's bank as to trust a white man's. A white man's bank with $40,000,000 is just as likely to fail as a colored man's bank with $400. And another thing, this jim crow law. Now, I must say if every man, woman, boy or girl that have self pride should not be caught riding at the back of any white person under such conditions. If this jim crow ordinance should be passed every hackman should come together and form a union and carry every colored person to any part of the city for the price of 10 cents. And I warrant that they will earn more money than they have ever made. We would be more willing to pay a dime than to ride on a street car. If every colored man and colored woman would take their money out of the white man's banks, I tell you, you would see some of the biggest changes you ever saw in this city. So, let us keep on progressing. WALTER J. LAWSCN. Jr. of M. S. C.

And there {s an increasing demand among the rich and strenuously llv- ing leaders-of society for capable and businesslike women to perform the Mutles of amanuenses, and often to go even farther and manage corres- Pondence and account books, thus rendering this position nearly akin to that of bookkeeper. The first essentials of a social sec- retary are, of course, a ladylike ap- pearance and handwriting to mateh. Many a bright girl has been cursed with the disadvantage of plain looks, and even worse that this-is the de- fect, so common among clevgr peo- ple, of a wretched, illegible chirog- raphy. The writer of social notes for particular women must be the master of clear, neat penmanship as a matter of course, and most employ- ers demand that the writing be not too businesslike, A pretty hand is very attractive, anf goes very far towards'success In this calling, while neatness and legibility are sine quo non, aa ‘Then the secretary must have some speedy method of taking notes— shorthand or an abbreviated system of her own—that she alone can read easily without, error. That she should spell and punctuate faultless- ly, have a good working knowledge of syntax and grammar, fs under- stood, and if-she has also had some social experience of her own, person- ally knowing how to express herself with facility in the thousand and one varieties of notes that society occasions, she is the more of an ac- quisition to the busy woman of fash- jon- Quickness and accuracy at fig- ‘ures are necessary in order to keep check-books properly, and a good memory for names and facts about ‘people is of distinct beneftt to her when writing invitations, for some- times the young woman will detect an error through remembering lsts of other patrons, The Value of a Good Memory. “Surely Miss H—— was married last fall,” she will say to her em- ployer. “I answered an invitation to her wedding for somebody.” “Why, of course she was. ~ She ought to have been crossed off the Joung-people’s list, and pat in the married one, Whom did she marry? Do you remember?” “Mr. L—— B—, wasn't it?” answers the correct secretary, and madame puts a good mark against her name, At the first chance, when a friend complains of, bad memory 4nd mistakes in her own correspond- ence, she may say: =| “Oh, I never haye any trouble of that kind, Miss Wright Is so accur- ate and always remembers what hap- pens to people.” ¢ The successful secretary wil read the Sunday papers for arrivals and departures;. divorces, births, deaths, and marriages, so that she may often be the means of averting a social biunder. . Besides the writing of invitations. addressing dnvelopes for engraved cards, checks, Society notes, and let- ters of a formal kind, the visiting secretary has often personal letters to transcribe. Though these may be dull to her and monotonously ‘ong, full of repetitions and uninteresting, she must falthfully copy them, study- Ing the characters of her clients and altering and correcting with discre- tion, "Some women will be very grateful for a Ittle efictent mould- ing of a letter, or of sentences in a letter, into better Ilterary style which the second reading will suggest, while others will detect and resent the removal of a comma or the inser- tion of a conjunction. Here, as in any woman's work, tact and knowl- edge of human nature are invaluable, Silence and Discretion Important. Of course, it is in the nature of this occupation that implicit conf- dence. must be reposed in the aman- uensis, Though she hear the most, interesting gossip, the most poetic romances (not, it is feared, very com- mon among the moneyed aristocracy of our great citles}, she’ must abso- lutely forget them, and never allow herself to allude to anything she has learned through her work, whatever the temptation. - Having the free- dom of account books, check-books, pigeon-holes of .privete desks, and drawers, she may light some day up- on akeletone whace Annee cha ennid gaged for regular days several times a week at two or three dollars a morning, one dollar an hour being the average rate. Beginners ask sov- enty-five cents, while exports who can take full charge and establish a complete system of housekeeping books are known to be paid as high as $3 an hour. At even the average rate, a good income can be made when a steady clientele is once ob- tained. There are plenty of women who will make no- regular appoiat- ments, but summon a secretary at short notice whenever they have work to do, For these a telephone fs a great help. The averago lady of Jelsure is not a very businesslike or considerate person, but many of them are surprisingly generous and kind to a reliable woman who saves them much trouble and responsibility, and }while they will hand over several days’ work and expect It to be fin- ished in g single morning, they raro- ly grumble at the secrefary’s exact bill for services, knowing well by ex- perience the honesty of thelr helper. | In clubs of charitable organtza- tions the paid secretary has become @ necessity, for it is known that in anything of ‘that kind all the work falls upan the willing pair of shoul- ders, which are usually ready enough to shift the burdon of manual work to those of another who will make it her exclustve business to manage meetings, look’after nominations and ‘subscriptions, send out notices, and make out minutes. These the sec- retary must do, and never erhibit an- noyance, temper, or weariness, but always preserve a ‘alm, self-pos- sessed appearance, and help to keep peace between wrangling elements, The season in town of this profes- sion 1s not a long one, for the wealthy people of Manhattan and other large cities rarely spend more than five or six months in the year in the clty. They then move south- ward or to the sea if not across the water. The wise and energetic sec- retary who does not Ike to remain idle for half the year will follow her patrons to their summer homes, ‘There the social round keeps up fully as briskly as in town, and her life is even more strenuous than she may care for. But ‘a month or two be- tween seasons is not hard to steal, nor need it be too egpensive for her purse. Of course, if anything goes wrong in any department of house or club or charitable soclety correspondence, the secretary is the scapegoat on whose defenceless head reproach and blame are cheerfully hurled by tho real culprit, whose lack gf system 1s often responsible, even if the young woman js entirely innocent. But she learns to take the blame with the praise, confident that honest inten- tlons with patient, faithful work, will In the end “win out” and be her strongest recommendation. — New York Post. 3 Pistols Uupopular.

A chic way of trimming a sailor hat Isto use both the cachepeigne of ribbon loops and the rosette, Take ‘a Mttle sailor shape, for instance, of ‘pale blue chip. Use for its trimming a delicate gray wing; fasten the wing to the right side of the crown with two flat rosettes of white maline, edged with a narrow little pleating of sflver ribbon, The wing should be caught between the rosettes. Now, to give the hat the character ft needs, add a beauty touch of many loops of black velvet ribbon at the back. Another smart combination of color to use In a hat of this sort Is to have the hat itself cream color, the wing whito and the rosette white, edged with a Uttle pleating of gold ribbon. Then instead of using black velvet ribbon ‘for the cachepelgno have the velvet loops in golden brown.—Grace Margaret Gould, in the Woman's Home Companion. a ° Shirt Waist or-Blouse.

Do not trample on your pride by being "jim crowed." Walk! As far as practicable spend all of your money with colored business men. For once let us stand together as a people and let our enemies know that we are capable of resenting insults. REV. W. H. STYLES has been nominated for the legislature in Liberty county. Mr. Styles' many friends here hope to see him elected. THE Negro does not care about disfranchisement even of it is placed on education and property basis, if no exception is made. Some day the people will get tired hearing about the Negro and will not allow so many demagogic fellows ride into office on this hobby horse. THE threat is made that our people, will in a few weeks commence riding on the cars again; let us fool them and walk thereby avoiding trouble and saving your nickels. ANDERSON, the man who nominated Hoke Smith, has proven to be as big a demagogue as Smith, Hardwick, Watson and others of their ilk. If it were not for the Negro, it would have been impossible for Mr. Anderson to have controlled the attention of his hearers. GARRITY, the city official who charged city employees usurious rate of interest for money loaned, and beat them if the same is not paid, is a bone of contention. Judge Speer's attention should be called to his recent actions. THE killing of the street car conductor on Saturday night by the colored passenger, is to be regreted. Tragedies of this kind and other troubles on the cars are caused mainly by indiscretion. To avoid any trouble whatever our people had better walk. It is more economical any how. THE theatre season is about open. Our young boys and girls should keep out of the peanut gallery. Pride should compell them to do so. On certain occasions THE TRIBUNE will take a snap shot of some of these winding steps climbers and let the people see just who the ones are who have no pride of the race. This time more than any other calls for united action of all of our men. There should be no division whatever. The person who does the least thing to stir the people into a division should be frowned upon as an enemy to the best interest of the race. Let there be a unanimity of thought and action. Taking this as a text, THE TRIBUNE has refrained from saying many things that should be refuted. The editor of the The Press makes a sorry attempt to apologize for the separation law when he says that "all the colored peo people want is equal accommodation for equal money," and that the most sensible and self-respecting are not anxious to ride with the whites." Yes, but does not the editor of The Press know that the separation law was never designed to give the Negro a square deal? Any such statement is absurd. The "most sensible and self-respecting" colored people know it and they are not going to be fooled. The situation in Atlanta proves that. the whites there do not want the Negro to have "equal accommodation for equal money." If so, why does The Georgian insist that Negroes should be made to ride on trail cars? However, the matter involved the expenditure of more money by the railway men and they kicked. That accounts for the ab- sence of the trail car for Negroes in Atlanta at present. We agree with an exchange when it says that "Everybody knows the jim-crow law is the most villanous device to put a lasting mark of having been a slave on a colored man so that he cannot escape it and that it will be ever exposed to public view. The "sensible and self-respecting Colored people" will govern themselves accordingly and walk. Held Mass Meeting. As a result of the recent "jim crow" movement, our people have held several mass meetings during the past week, and have aroused themselves from a semidormant state to one of almost complete activity. At each of these meetings the question of separate seats on the cars was thoroughly discussed, and with unanimity the separation law was condemned. At one of these meetings it developed that the people in the western suburbs of the city have already organized a transportation company and will soon have their vehicles in operation. The people feel that they have been forced to take a decided stand in this matter, and we believe that they are going to face the present situation as men with manhood and self-respect should face it. By keeping off the cars, there will be no occasion for disorder or friction. There was something more in these meetings than temporary enthusiasm. It was obvious that the situation could be met in a practical way, and no doubt this phase of the question will be considered later. In the meetings there was always complete harmony on the main issue and that was to walk all the time. "Jim Crow" Effective. The committee appointed by the mass meeting of citizens to appear before the City Council against the passage of the two ordinances, calling for the enforcement of the separate car law, faithfully and efficiently attended to this trust. On Monday arrangements were perfected for the appearance of the committee on Wednesday night. At that time owing to an opinion given by the city attorney it was decided the passage of either of the two ordinances will not be effective and they were therefore withdrawn. As that was the main purpose of the committee's presence at the meeting, they were not heard from. While the two ordinances were not passed, yet a resolution was carried through calling upon the police to see that the state law was enforced. This was approved immediately. The street car company immediately acquiesed and next morning the same was enforced, the result being that our people refused to ride, and the cars have been since nearly completely "lily white." Several suggestions have been made to arrange transportation for our people, especially those who have a long distance to travel. The most feasible one at present being to have conference with the hackmen, many of whom are willing to carry passengers at a reduced price. There is also talk of the organizing of a transportation line, but in all the people seem determined to walk, and they are walking to perfection, Let them keep it up. The Republican State Committee. The Republican State Central Committee of Georgia is composed of the ablest and most conscientious republicans, white and colored men in Georgia. In point of ability and courage and integrity these men are second to no other political organization in the south, and it has the entire, confidence of all decent republicans in the state. This committee met in Atlanta on Tuesday Aug. 28th, and was under control of the white members, and the proposition to change the mode and basis of representation to the next state convention was practically unanimously lost. Mr. H. A Rucker offered a resolution "that it is the sense of the committee, that a candidate for Governor and candidates for state officers be nominated by the party to be voted for at the ensuing October election." This was thoroughly discussed and after many amendments and substitutes, were offered on motion of H. L. Johnson, Esq., a committee of five composed of the mover and Messrs. C. P. Goree, J. M. Ashley, J. W Lyons, and Chas L. White, was appointed to present the names of the gentlemen to compose a state ticket for the consideration of the committee. The committee after some time, in which an effort was made to procure names for a state ticket reported unanimously, "that in view of the shortness of the time we deem it unadvisable to at tempt to call a convention for the purpose of nominating candidates for Governor or State House officers.," and the report was unanimously adopted by the State Central Committee. The following declaration offered by E. A Angier, Esq., was unanimously adopted: "The Republican State Central Committee cordially endorses the administration of President Roosevelt as vigorous and honorable, high-minded and patriotic. "We commend it without reservation to the considerate judgment of American people, and we note with pride and pleasure that, under the initiative and upon the recommendation of President Roosevelt, there have been placed on the statute books, the Railroad Rate Law the Pure Food Law, the Employer's Liability Law, the law making alcohol free for the arts, manufacturers and all industrial purposes, and the final legislation for the construction of the Isthmian Canal. "The digging of the Panama Canal is the most stupendous task of engineering of all ages, and fraught with peculiar benefits to southern states and we are indebted to the President's administration for making the same feasible, and for the splendid progress thus far made in the work on this inter-ocean-canal, and we regret southern senators are found in opposition to the ratification of the treaty with Santo Domingo, which is one more step in the effort to make peaceful and secure the waters through which the route of the canal lead. Heartily endorsing the President as one of the most courageous, upright and patriotic statesmen who ever held the high office of President of the United States, and one whose influence has not been confined to our own country, but has been effective among the nations no less than the smaller states, we believe it is essential that a Congress friendly to his lofty and noble purposes, should be elected to aid and sustain him in the great work and mission he still has before him. "We declare for a protective tariff, and favor tariff revision only when changing business and industrial conditions shall make revision beneficial, and when necessity for the same arises from a fair and candid consideration of all of the business and industrial interests of the whole country, and this revision, when made, should be by the friends of the American system. "We deprecate the recent inflammatory appeals made to class and caste passion and prejudice, and the recrudescence of the spirit of nullification of the Federal Constitution, and the incitement to gratuitously hostile legislation against railroads, and the harsh disturbance of vested rights and property interests as manifested by the dominant faction of the Democratic party in this state." By the above it will be plainly seen that the Republican party in Georgia has done its duty as it seemed best to them—conditions and circumstances taken into consideration. In Interest of the Fair.

HAY FEVER "Having used Peruna for catarrh and day fever, I can recommend it to all who are suffering with the above diseases. I am happy to be able to say it has helped me wonderfully." —Mayma E. Smith. MIRR MAYME SMITH 444. E. Mound Street, Columbus, Ohio. HAY FEVER is endemic catarrh. It is caused by some irritating substance in use at the hospice during the late summer months. It is generally thought that the pollen of certain weeds and flowers is the cause of it. Change of locality seems to be the only national cure. The use of Peruva, however, stimulates the nervous system to resist the effect of the poisonous emulations and sometimes carries the victim through the hay fever season without an attack of the disease. A large number of people rely upon Peruva for this purpose. Those who do not find it convenient to change their location to avoid Stay Fever would do well to give Peruva a trial. It has proven of priceless value to many people. The Thirst of Mac An Eastern travelling man and his Denver girl went into a Sixteenth street drug store Saturday and took seats before the soda fountain. "I think," said Miss Mae," that I'll take a Sundae." "Did you ever hear how the Sundae got its name?" asked the travelling man as they sipped ice cream. "No," said the girl, "and I have often wondered." "It was this way," the travelling man went on. "In Philadelphia several years ago a young couple went to a soda fountain one Sunday for something cool. He ordered an ice cream soda and the girl said she'd take the same. Then she changed her mind. 'I've sort o' gotten tired of soda,' she said. 'I believe, seeing its Sunday. I'll just take the ice cream and syrup without the soda.' "Of course she mentioned Sunday in a joking way, but the man behind the counter had a bright idea. 'I'll just make that a new dish,' he said, 'and I'll call it a Sunday.' "That's how it originated," concluded the travelling man. "Finally somebody changed the spelling to 'Sundae' just to make it different."—Denver Post. WEALTH AND HAPPINESS.

Fill to Select Food Nature Demands to Ward Off Allments. I Ky. lady, speaking about food, say: "I was accustomed to eating all kinds of ordinary food until, for some reason, indigestion and nervous prostration set in. "After I had run down seriously my attention was called to the necessity of some change in my diet, and I discontinued my ordinary breakfast and began using Grape-Nuts with a good quantity of rich cream. "In a few days my condition changed in a remarkable way, and I began to have a strength that I had never been possessed of before, a rigor of body and a pulse of mind that amazed me. It was entirely new in my experience. "My former attacks of indigestion had been accompanied by heat flashes, and many times my condition was distressing with blind spells of dizziness, rush of blood to the head and neurasic pains in the chest. "Since using Grape-Nuts alone for breakfast I have been free from these troubles, except at times when I have indulged in rich, greasy foods in quantity, then I would be warned by a pain under the left shoulder blade, and unless I heeded the warning the old trouble would come back, but when I finally got to know where these troubles originated I returned to my Grape-Nuts and cream and the pain and disturbance left very quick- "I am now in prime health as a result of my use of Grape-Nuts," Name given by Postum Co., Battle Greek, Milch.

A balky horse can be cured, when under the saddle, by a very slim method. Turn him around around in his tracks a few times. New Variety of Alfalfa. Several new varieties of alfalfa, brought from Arabia and the steppes of Siberia and Russian Turkestan, where they have become inured to drought and alfalfa, have been introduced in the belief that they can be profitably grown in some of those regions of the United States where good fodder is impossible to grow. Alfalfa is probably our most popular forage crop. California obtained it from Chile in the '50s, and Chile probably had obtained it from Asia Minor or Arabia. Keep the Grounds Clean. There is entirely too much of the so-called "hind sight" and far too little foresight in our warfare against the bugs. When in midsummer we suddenly find a crop being destroyed by hundreds of hungry caterpillars or beetles, we wonder where they came from and proceed to combat them when they have already partially ruined the crop. One of the worst contributory causes is the neglect to clear out the remains of the gathered crops leaving the stumps, stubble or vines lying in the garden where they grew, or in piles, serenely in different to the fact that our insect enemies are thriving and increasing upon them. There are many simple methods of effectually checking the increase of these insects and thus obviating the necessity for expensive remedial measures. In warfare against insects as against disease, we need more hygiene and less remedial treatment. Hogs Fattened at Home. The last excuse for depending upon Packingtown for hogs and hog meat, even if it be free from cholera germs, has been taken away. Intelligent feeders in Texas find that cottonseed meal is excellent for hogs. Instead of poisoning, it-fattens,them. Hogs have been made ready for market through the use of cottonseed meal two years, and the meal is coming into general use as a recognized part of the hog ration in that State. What is good for hogs in Texas must be good for hogs in Alabama. The excuse for neglecting to produce a sufficiency of meat at home has been the alleged want of corn lands. This pretense is brushed aside when every farmer grows an abundance of excellent hog food in his cotton patch. Let no one say hereafter in this State that he cannot afford to make his own meat. He certainly can afford to do so. He will assuredly be accounted shiftless and unenterprising if he does not, when the food needed by the hogs is ever at hand. The Texas experiments are convincing and satisfactory, and all who can command a supply of cottonseed meal can and should fatten hogs both for home use and for sale in the home markets. Possibly the corn-fed hogs can be driven out altogether.—Birlingham Age-Herald. Pure Water on the Farm. It is of utmost importance that the water used on the farm should be pure, though it seems there are many who do not regard sanitary conditions and are content to use water that is wholly unfit for man or beast from year to year. If you would preserve your health and that of your family you should see to it that your water supply comes from a clean source. Your farm animals, and especially milch cows, will show the effects of drinking polluted water. The condition of the water will have greatly to do with the milk and butter supply. Spring water is purer than that obtained from most wells if the surroundings be kept scrupulously clean and in the proper condition. A spring in the forest, or at least surrounded by shade trees, I think is to be preferred to one with cleared surroundings. I would not recommend building a house over a spring, or even marking a walled enclosure of stone or brick, for these will often serve as a source of pollution. A spring with nature's surroundings will almost invariably prove to be better than one "hampered by improvements." It often happens that there is no adequate supply of water on the farm without resorting to wells, and the locations of these are chosen many times with no thought whatever as to the sources of water pollution that will be present. It seems that the dirty condition of the surroundings of the locations often selected would appeal to those concerned, and yet we frequently see people using water from wells in the immediate vicinity of barnyards or outbuildings, where drainage is carried to the water. Those who contemplate sinking wells should remember that it is better to select a site some distance from the barnyard or farm buildings and on an elevation above them to prevent any possible contamination through the drainage. The brick or stone work should be put in with cement, which is impervious to water, in order that the infiltration of the drainage will not reach the water. The top should fit tightly to prevent the water from the surface, mice, rats, etc., from entering. — Frank Monroe Beverly, in The Epitomist. Handling Vicious Horses. A balky horse can be cured, when under the saddle, by a very simple method. Turn him around and around in his tracks a few times and then suddenly straighten his head and he will willingly, and even gladly, go forward. This was the method of the celebrated John S. Rarey and has never been known to fall. The "jibbler" differs from the balker inasmuch as his so-called vice is caused by congestion of the brain. The horse thus affected is liable to bolt or run away after one of these attacks and is a dangerous animal. Rearing, though commonly termed a vice, is often caused by too severe a curb. Sometimes the rearing horse loses his balance and falls backward. It is needles to say that the rider is then lucky 'if he or she escapes without serious, if not fatal, injury. When the horse rears loosen the reins and speak to him in a soothing tone, but if he persists give him a sharp blow between the ears with the butt of the whip. This will bring him down on all fours with amazing quickness. Kicking is certainly a vice. Sometimes, however, it is caused by fear, in which case much can be accomplished by gentle management. Exactly the opposite treatment of the rearing animal should be applied to the kicker. Hold his head up with might and main, for the horse cannot throw out both hind legs at once when his head is elevated. Kicking straps are what the name implies. A strap fastened to the shafts over the horse's croup prevents kicking, but this is only serviceable when driven in single harness. Shying is a dangerous fault. It cannot properly be termed a vice, as it is generally the result of defective vision. Gentle treatment, soothing words and patient persistence in accustoming the animal to the dreaded object will often effect a cure. To lash a horse because he shies or is frightened only aggravates the evil. He will associate the punishment with the frightful object and will fear it more and more each time he encounters it. Country Life in America. Pull Up Old Stalks. In the cabbage patch, after the crop has been gathered the stumps which have sprouted out will be found in the field where they grew or sometimes gathered into piles. The sprouts furnish ample food for the bugs during the balance of the season, and form snug quarters in which the winter is safely passed. In these stumps or piles may be found the chrysalids of all the common cabbage caterpillars and the adult harlequin bugs so injurious in the South. Had the stumps been uprooted and piled as soon as the crop was gathered all of these pests would have assembled upon the piles, which might then have been destroyed in the fall or early spring and thus caught the greater part of the insects. The same principles apply to most of the pests of melons, cucumbers and squashes. Both the squash bug and striped cucumber beetle hibernate under the old vines and other rubbish always found in the melon patch, where they feed and breed unmolested until frost. Rake up the vines and burn them soon after the crop is gathered. Standing cornstalks, so commonly seen in the Middle States, form an ideal winter home for all the insect enemies of corn and other crops. The cornstalk borer passes the winter in its cell in the crown of the plant and underneath the bases of the leaves and in the hollow stalk are chinch bugs and other corn insects. Many now testify that where they have plowed out, raked up and burned the corn stubble they had been comparatively immune from many of these pests which seriously injured neighboring crops.—Indianapolis News. Strawberry Planting. If you do not have a strawberry bed in your garden and want one this is a good time to start it, provided you plant pot-grown plants. These pot-grown plants are runners which were rooted in pots early in the season. You could not use at this season plants which had not been pot-grown because the pots would be so badly damaged in transplanting that they could not furnish the plant with the amount of water which it would demand. That kind of plant, known as "layer plants" may be set out in September, but they would not give you any fruit next spring under ordinary cultivation, while pot-grown plants set out in August will bear next spring. In a bed ten by twenty feet one may grow 100 plants. If the soil is a heavy clay thoroughly work into it a dressing several inches in thickness of coal ashes and half a ton of manure, before setting the plants. As soon as the ground freezes spread another half ton of manure over the bed as a mulch. The following spring 'as soon as the first leaves show above the mulch pull the manure away from the crowns of the plants a d work it into the soil. Such a bed will bear more strawberries than a family of three can eat, fresh.—Indianapolis News. The college that a famous man had been graduated from is very likely to claim all the credit for his distinguished character and achievements. A portrait of the late John Hay was presented to Brown University this week, and, according to the orator of the occasion, the Brown of fifty years ago must be awarded no end of glory for having had the young Hay as a student and having given to him its diploma. If the colleges of fifty years ago were such inefficient places of learning and mind training as Charles Francis Adams avows them to have been, a difficult problem arises in awarding to them just the proper amount of credit for their celebrated alumni. But however good or bad a college may be at a certain time, it is sure to turn out some one who makes more or less of an impression upon the world in his after life. Did the college "make" him? It is to be feared that some of the credit for a great career must be awarded to the man's grandfathers, grandmothers, and even his father and mother, then a little more to his training at home in the early plastic period down through adolescence, and still a little more to the other schools that helped to develop him, and finally a good round bit to the never-ending drill that he acquired away from books in the hurry-burley of life itself. What credit is left may be awarded to the modest institution where the great man spent four short years out of his sixty or seventy. Really, this is not detracting from the credit due to a college for a great alumnus; it is merely a protest against the college taking all, as so often happens on commencement day, and at alumni diners.—Springfield Republican.

The poverty of the English language is exemplified by a circular which is making the rounds of a suburb and inviting subscriptions to a testimonial to the station master. It comes from one who styles himself "the longest resident," 'the sad physical fact being that he is probably the shortest, although in bulk and rotundity he makes up for the inches he lacks in height. Here is a case in which the very clumsiness of the German language would be an inestimable help, for then this gentleman could, quite correctly describe himself "the fort-the-longest-time here-in residing," or even, perhaps, "the for-the-longest-time-herin-residingest!" individual. Those compound adjectives of the Textons may be awkward but they express what the uses means and insure accuracy.—London Chronicle. Strange Ideas of the Chinese. A traveller in the Celestial Kingdom says that in China many hundred people live their lives on boats. Among them there is a strange idea that a boat must have an eye painted on its bow in order to see its way through the water. An Englishman traveling in China once sat in the front of a small boat with his feet hanging over the painted eye. The owner became very much excited and begged the traveler not to cover the eye of the boat, as it must see its way. When the first railroad was built through China the native workers wanted to paint an eye on the front of the locomotive. They regarded it as dangerous to have so fierce an appearing thing tearing its way through the country without an eye to guide its course.

We are wont to speak of this era as the "age of iron," and there is no gainsaying that, industrially speaking, iron is a "precious metal." Nevertheless, few people realize how useful, if not absolutely necessary, to modern civilization, is that other metal, lead. Soft, yielding, pliable, it is not much like its sister metal, but those distinguishing qualities are what give it such a prominent place in the arts and industries. Modern plumbing, requiring many turnings and twistings, but withal tight joints, would be almost impossible without lead pipe. The greatest civilizing agent in the world—the printing art—is absolutely dependent on lead. Hand-set type, linotype "slugs," monotype type—all are made of compositions of which lead is the chief component—to say nothing of the bearings in the presses as well as all other kinds of machinery in which "babbitt" metal is used. Solder is another lead product—what a field of usefulness that one form opens up. Then there is the most important use of all to which lead is put—paint, that necessary material which keeps our houses looking pretty—inside and out—and preserves them from decay. How many of us thank metallic lead for the comforts of paint? Yet the best house paint is nothing but metallic lead corroded by acid to a white powder known as "white lead." Of course, there are many imitations of "white lead," some of which are sold as white lead and some which are offered by the name of ready-prepared paint under the familiar pretense that they are "just as good" as white lead. But all good paint is made of the metal, lead, corroded and ground to a fine white powder and mixed with linseed oil. White lead is also used in the coating of fine oil cloths and for many purposes besides paint. "Red lead" is another product of metallic lead and is what is known as an oxide of lead, being produced by burning; the metal. Red lead is the best paint known to preserve iron, steel or tin, and is used largely in printing metal structures, such as skyscraper skeletons, mills and bridges. There are many other products of the metal lead, such as litharge, orange mineral, etc., which are essential to many of the arts in which we never imagine that lead would be of the least use. Verily, we live in an age of lead as well as of iron. Worth the Money. One of the credit men from the South here attending the convention being held at the Belvedere, tells of an interesting experience than a brother merchant had while en route to this city, says the Baltimore Sunday Herald. The story, without real names and told from an impersonal standpoint, is as follows: They were not acquainted but became so in the smoking room, as is customary. "My name is Smith," said one, "and I am in the notion business." "My name is Jones," said the other, "and I am in the clothing business." Then they smoked in silence, Mr. Smith scrutinizing Mr. Jones pretty closely. Finally Mr. Jones asked whether his new acquaintance was trying to typnotize him. "No," said Mr. Smith, "but I know what you are thinking about." "Are you a mind' reader?" asked Jones. "No," replied the other, "but I bet $2·I know what you are thinking." The bet was made and Mr. Smith said: "You are going to Baltimore to buy a big stock of clothing, have it shipped to your place of business, get a good insurance and then have a big fire." Mr. Jones took out his purse and handed Mr. Smith $2, saying: "Nothing of the kind was in my mind, but a suggestion of that, kind is worth $2." O GRAVE, WHERE IS THY VICTORY! "Poor Mrs. Wilkins!

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. EARL E. CLEELAND. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Sunday morning, in the Classon Avenue Presbyterian Church, the assistant pastor, ev. Earl E. Cleeland, preached on "Christ in Gethsemane." Among other things he said: The text to which I ask your attention is found in the twenty-sixth chapter of Matthew, at the thirty-ninth verse: "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou wilt," which are the words, as Matthew has recorded them, of the thrice recorded prayer of our Lord in the place called Gethsemane. You recall the account of the Last Supper of the Lord with His disciples, and the dark scene in Gethsemane which immediately followed, telling the disciples to "sit ye here while I go yonder and pray," Jesus "took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee" (James and John), "and began to be sorrowful and sore troubled. Then saith He unto them, 'My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death; abide ye here and watch With Me.' And He went forward a little and fell on His face and prayed, saying: 'My Father, if it be possible let this cup pass away from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.'" The gospel according to Luke goes on to tell us that then "there appeared unto Him an angel from heaven, strengthening Him, and being in an agony He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground." I choose this text to-day as the result of a conversation some ten days ago, with one of the members of this church, and at the outset I want to acknowledge my indebtedness to him for the suggestion of this sermon. Many passages, in Scripture, are variously interpreted and differently understood by Christian people, and students of the Bible especially, and often one w'' find that the great commentators themselves are almost diametrically opposed to each other in the interpretations which they make. I find that our text to-day is one of those disputed passages. Several of the authorities which I have consulted in the study of this prayer of Christ in Gethsemane took the view that Jesus feared and recoiled at the thought of His approaching death on the cross, and thus prayed to God, His Father, trying, if it were possible, to bend His will, and have the end accomplished by some other way than the cross. Only one commentator, as I recall now, took the view that our Lord's agonized prayer was instigated by the overwhelming thought that He feared His life would be crushed out underneath the strain of mental suffering. He was undergoing, before He reached the cross, and thus He prayed that this cup pass away from Him. The majority of Christian people, I believe, and as I find, more of the commentators do, attribute Christ's suffering in Gethsemane to the weakness of His flesh, or humanity, to face the death that was before Him, and they interpret our text in this light. I am inclined, however, to cast my lot with the minority, and interpret Christ's prayer as a plea to Gbd for strength, that His life would not be crushed out underneath His terrible agony before the time appointed through all the ages of prophecy before Him—that of His atonement on the cross for the sins of men. And in treating this passage let it be understood that anything I may say has doubtless been said hundreds of times before. I only wish to try to show, from Scripture, my position, and therefore make no claims. I see—no necessity of exercising our imaginations in endeavoring to show mysterious causes for our Lord's state of mind in this prayer, when the reason for His agitation is plainly given in the Scriptural account itself. But now about this prayer of our It seems incredible almost to think that Christian people will attribute less courage to the Son of God than they have seen in hundreds of examples of fearlessness through all the centuries past. Think of the thousands of people who have unflinchingly faced death and died a martyr's death with scarcely a quiver. And it would be almost irreverent in us at such a time as this to think of the numerous cases of criminals who walk with unfaltering steps to the electric chair or ascend the gallows with all appearance of calmness. Some commentators, as has already been said, interpret this prayer as a revolting or halting of Christ at the thought of the approaching crucifixion and the horrors which preceded it, and attendant to it; the betrayal of Judas; Peter's denial, and the desertion of His disciples and all His followers; the humiliating trial, and insults of the rabble, and the lingering death on the cross. That it was because of the horrors of all these things that Christ here meant to ask God, if there was not some other way of atoning for the sins of men, and that Christ only yielded to the cross to fulfill His Father's will. Those who advocate this view would thus make it out that our Lord forgot for the moment, by reason of His suffering, the prophecies and the plan of God in His redemption of the world, throughout the history of Israel; or if Christ did not forget that He tried to bend His Father's will to an atonement by some other way, and that Christ finally, after three unsuccessful attempts to bend God's will, yielded to the cross. Why Christian people try to explain away this prayer in any such a weak way is difficult to understand. What does Christianity want with a weak Christ who feared a martyr's death? Our Lord was "a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief," and had been for three years preparing for the cross, and had on several occasions before this told His disciples of the manner of His death, and they could not understand at the time. shows, on the contrary, the bravery of our Lord, and does not show any weakness. I am inclined to think that Christ had no thought of the cross during the time in which He made this prayer, save in His remote consciousness; but He was, just at that moment, fearful that His mortal body would succumb to the terrible strain He was passing through, during this awful hour in Gethsemane. He felt that Kis life would be crushed out by this terrible agony, before He reached the cross, for does not one of the accounts tell us Christ's own words, "My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death," and another that, "being in agony, He prayed more earnestly; and His sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down, upon the ground." And God heard and answered His prayer by sending an angel from heaven, strengthening Him. Jesus was not, here, seeking to bend His Father's will, but asking God for strength to reach the cross, and God sent an angel in answer to that prayer. This is the scriptural account of why our Lord was in agon. This cup, which Christ was drinking to the dregs, was the cup of God's wrath upon the sins of men. Christ was drinking the bitterness of the cup in our stead. His bloody sweat was a sprinkling, an anticlated atonement, upon the very ground which had been "cursed" because of man's sin. No imagination can feel, no words can describe the agony that Christ had to bear in Gethsemane. So why need we search our imaginations and try to manufacture mysterious explanations why Christ made this prayer when the answer and reason for the prayer, is given in the very account itself, in the necessity of the angel's appearance? When Jesus said, "not My will, but Thine, be done." He resigned Himself to God's will. If He should die of agony, it was God's will, but I I've prayed that this cup should pass from 'm. But His atoning death was not to be there in Gethsemane, in the night, but He was to be lifted upon the cross of Calvary in order that all men would be drawn unto Him. We know that Christ's was a sensitive nature but this is not saying that He was not brave. And there is no reason to believe that He, in anticipation of His death, would yield to the thought any more than an ordinary man. So, therefore, because He suffered "even unto death," as He did. In the Garden of Gethsemane, is in itself an argument that He was bearing more than the anticipation. So, therefore, let us not confound Christ's suffering in Gethsemane to lack of fortitude or bravery. Our Lord was no stolc. He here felt that His physical body was giving way under an agony which no language can describe. Throughout the whole Old Testament period God, under the Levitical code of laws, educated His chosen people to the fact that without the shedding of blood there was no remission of sins. All these forms of sacrificial atonement of the sins of Israel were typical of Christ, the Lamb of God. And can it be supposed for one moment that our Lord did not fully realize this in Gethsemane? And throughout the whole New Testament gospel, it is plainly stated everywhere that our peace is through the blood of the cross. Surely then that great Paschal Lamb of God that was to take away the sins of the world did not hesitate nor falter at the approach of the atonement by the shedding of His blood upon the cross. It was for the joy that as set before Him that He endured the cross and despised shame, and He won thereby His seat at the right hand of the throne of God. The staggering of Christ's physical body underneath this tremendous burden must not be mistaken for a faltering of His will. The Bible. The Bible. This Book unfolds Jehovah's mind.

A clergyman, walking on the public highway, observed a poor man breaking; stones, and kneeling the while so that he might be able to do it more effectually. Passing him and saluting him, he remarked: "Ah, John, I wish I could break the stony hearts of my hearers as easily as you are breaking those stones." "Perhaps, master," he said, "you do not work on your knees." Prayer brings down the power that can break the flintiest heart.—Christian Commonwealth. Revealed by Love Alone.

Terrible Scaly Humor in Patches All Over Body-Skin Cracked and - Bleeding-Cured by Cuticura. "I was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty-five years. It was in patches all over my body. I used three cakes of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Ointment and two bottles of Resolvent. In thirty days I was completely cured, and I think permanently, as it was about five years ago. The psoriasis first made its appearance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the centre a spot about the size of a silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of white silvery appearance, and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, although it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let the scales remain too long without removing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. I suffered intense itching, worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or oolium warm by exercise, when it would be almost unbearable. W. M. Chidester, Hutchinson, Kan, Apr. 20, 1905."

Box B Box A, Atlanta, Ga Cotton Association to Aid "Distressed" Staple. MANY MILLIONS CAPITAL Cotton Will Be Stored and Held Until Price Advances—Commodity Will Thus Be Kept Out of the Hands of the Exporters. The executive committee of the Southern Cotton Association concluded its session at Hot Springs Saturday afternoon, and adjourned subject to the call of the president of the association. The principal business transacted at the last day's resolution looking to the formation of a corporation with a capitalization of $100,000,000 for the purpose of taking care of the "distressed" cotton in the south. The resolution follows: "Whereas, after two years, experience in attempting to maintain a fair price for cotton and realizing that we are in our present status an advisory board; in order to put ourselves in position to enforce our minimum; be it "Resolved. That we organize the Southern Cotton Association into a chartered corporation for the purpose of buying, selling and warehousing cotton, and that we open books of subscription for a capital stock of $100,000,000, the shares to be $5 each. "That a president and board of directors be appointed, and that each state, county and precinct president be furnished blank certificates and books of subscription, and that we immediately begin a campaign to raise this capital stock." This resolution was passed over as unfinished business, and a committee of five, consisting of John-P. Allison of North Carolina, E. O. Smith of South Carolina and J. C. Hickey of Texas, was appointed to prepare definite and detailed plans for the purpose of incorporating the association as outlined in the resolution, and report at the next meeting of the executive committee. President Harvie Jordan gave the following explanation of the resolution: "It is for the purpose of taking care of distressed cotton, and by distressed cotton I mean that which is forced on the market by people who are unable to finance cotton and are unable to liquidate maturing obligations. The corporation proposes to go into the markets and buy up this class of cotton when it is being offered at prices below the minimum fixed by the association, to be held by the corporation until the market advances to the minimum price. The cotton will be stored in various warehouses throughout the cotton belt. "Later in the season, the association will gather full and complete data with reference to the probable yield of the crop and issue it for the Benefit of the members of the association, the only thing that the committee is thoroughly agreed on at the present is that no cotton, basis middling, should be placed on the market and sold for less than 10 cents per pound." In order that the people may be reached and the resolution fixing the minimum price at 10 cents may be thoroughly canvassed and that an appeal may be made directly to the cotton growers, the committee decided to hold meetings in the different cotton raising state at which President Harvie Jordan, Field Agent Smith and Executive Committeeman Witherspoon of Mississippi will speak.

The second democratic primary in South Carolina in which Manning and Ansel made the final contest, was held Tuesday, Martin F. Ansel, the local optionist, was defeated Richard Irvine Manning, dispensary candidate, for governor. J. Fraser Lyon, who conducted the investigations in the dispensary corruption case, was elected attorney general over J. W. Ragsdale. J. M. Sullivan was elected to the railroad commission defeating the incumbent J. H. Whorton. The election of Ansel and Lyon, both of whom are against the state dispensary, is considered a defeat for the institution and Senator Tillman. The fate of the dispensary, however, will not be decided until the next legislature. IN DEFERENCE TO SOUTH Bryan Modifies His Attitude on Government Ownership Question. The most noticeable feature of the great Bryan reception in St. Louis Tuesday night was His softened attitude on the question of government ownership of railroads. "It is government supervision which I stand for first," he said. "If that falls, then we must try more radical measures." A tremendous ovation was tendered Mr. Bryan by the great crowd gathered in the coliseum when he stepped upon the platform and took his seat. Mr. Bryan said, in part: "You have cheered enough to make my heart cheerful, and I am glad to be here. I have been trying to find home for more than a week, and I have found it so homelike everywhere that I can hardly tell where I live. "Now I want to show you it is better to trust the democratic principles to the democratic party than to trust them to one man whose party denounces him for following them. I want to remind you that the most popular act of Mr. Roosevelt's administration was his bringing peace between two nations. He settled the coal strike after a loss of $99,000,000 to employers, employees and the public. It was a grand act. I applaud him for it. But where did he get the doctrine—in the republican platform? No. He got it from the democratic platform and I wrote the plank myself. If he could gain popularity by settling one strike that cost $99,000,000, why ought not our party have some credit for proposing a plan which, if put into a law, would have made the strike unnecessary? Why hasn't the republican party followed it up by making a national law that will make it unnecessary for a man to starve his wife and children in order to get justice? If the president can become the only popular man in the republican party because he does something spasmodically along democratic lines, what should be the popularity of the man who does something and has always been a democrat? Where did Mr. Roosevelt find his mandate for his action regarding the rate bill? He had to go to the democratic platform. The most important part of the Elkins bill is the penitentiary sentence for its violation. "The railroads have been the most corrupting influence in politics in the past twenty years. By the use of passes they have packed conventions. This law was suggested by the democratic party. I shall soon have occasion to talk on railroads again, but tonight I want to impress it upon you that the railroad question solution was the product of the democratic party. "The president has now been in office almost five years. How many trust magnates are in the penitentiary? We have a great many trust magnates violating the law. My friends, I ask you to figure out on the basis of the number of trust magnates imprisoned during the past five years, how many generations will it take to solve the trust question?" Mr. Bryan left for Louisville, Ky. at 3 p. ml. GIN AND COCA-COLA. Produced a Drunk Which Was Fatal to Young Henley. Thirteen drinks of coca-cola spiked with gin, resulted in sudden death to W. E.

STRIKE FIOT IN FRISCO. Mob Battles With Police Force and Several People Are Shot. As an aftermath to the recent strike on the United tailroads, a riot broke out in San Francisco Monday night, when the street car company started to march about 200' strike breakers from the car larns at Turk and Fillmore streets to the ferry building. Many shots were fired by the officers escorting the men and half a dozen persons were wounded. Bonaparte may visit Georgia. Charles J. Bonaparte, secretary of the navy, will be urged by Governor Terrell to visit Georgia when the battleship Georgia is put in commission in Georgia water in October. This will be at Savannah or Brunswick, probably the latter place. Secretary Bonaparte, James L. Hyde and George Foster Peabody will all doubtless be present at the commission of the Georgia. --- High Compliment to Hudson. One of the surprises of the recent primary is the fact that Hon. Thomas Hudson, commissioner of agriculture, ran ahead of the other state house officers who had no opposition 10,000 votes. The other state officers at the capitol are a little nonplussed to understand how it happened. "Dazed" would mere nearly describe their condition. The agricultural commissioner's vote is more than 15,000 above that of the attorney general, secretary of state, state treasurer, prison commission and the associate justices of the supreme court. Railroads Caught Napping. The railroads of the state will have to come across with their proportional share of the tax money for local schools districts, where their lines run through such districts, and that, too, notwithstanding a former supreme court decision that relieved them of this tax. The school adherents stole a march on the roads and got around the court's interference by having the recent legislature enact a law eliminating these objections, and now the railroads must "come across" just like any ordinary tax payer. Some Improvement in Cotton. Crop conditions in Georgia have improved somewhat during the last week and are more favorable than they have been for some time. The improved weather conditions, while they came in time for better results at the close of the season, were too late to bring the Georgia crops up to the usual standard. The cotton in many parts of the state is small, with scant yield, and even in many places where there is a large weed, the bolls are scarce. Picking is general now over southern and middle Georgia, and has begun in some sections of north Georgia. There has been nothing to change the 70 per cent average put upon the Georgia crop last week by the department of agriculture. * * * Compress Files Big Mortgage. The Atlantic Compress company has filed in the office of the clerk of the superior court in Atlanta a mortgage deed of trust to the Savannah Trust company, mortgaging all its property in Chatham county, Macon, Atlanta, Cordele and Thomasville, and in Montgomery, Ala., to secure an issue of $1,000,000 of gold coupon bonds bearing interest at 5 per cent per annum, payable semi-annually. The money derived from the sale of the bonds will be used for construction purposes in the cities where the compress company has holdings, and for the purpose of establishing plants elsewhere. --- Negro Cooks Apply Boycott. Negro Cooks Apply Boycott. In a published communication, a prominent business man of Columbus urges the ladies of that city to have an experience meeting at which the subject for discussion will be the unreliable negro cooks and other servants. He says that the negro cooks have virtually formed a union in the shape of their societies, and when an impudent negro servant is "fired" she reports it to the society, and the lady is practically boycotted, so that she finds it very difficult to get any servants. He thinks that the ladies of the city should deal with the servant problem in an organized, determined way. The gentleman says that recently his cook took a vacation, and while she was gone his wife was in charge of the kitchen, with the result that there was a saving of $40 to $50 in the grocery bill that month. *** Alleged Poisoners Arrested. As the result of the wholesale poisoning, which occurred at a fish fry on the Funch plantation in Thomas county some two months ago, Ollie Cunningham and his wife, Laura, colored, were arrested a few days ago, and, after a trial before the justice of the peace in Thomasville, committed to jail and refused the privilege of giving bond. Twenty-one Georgians, down the throats of whom went a deadly poison, are now ready to tell the courts of the state of the narrow escape they had from a most horrible and excruciating death wrought by a vegetable poison, known better by the negroes of the state than by the cultured and trained chemist of Georgia. --- Complete Broad Gauge System. The Gainesville Midland railroad ran its fire broad gauge train through to Jefferson last Saturday, and in a short time will put trains through to Athens. This road, when completed, will give Jackson county the best railroad facilities of any county in the state, being bounded on the south by the Seaboard Air Line; on the east by the Athens branch of the Southern; on the west by the narrow gauge from Winder to Gainesville, and the Gainesville Midland directly through the center of the county. It is rumored that this road is owned by the Illinois Central, and that it will be built from Chattanooga to Savannah. --- Crenshaw Enters Race. There appears upon the election blanks for returns from the_state election in October, which have just been sent out by Secretary of State Phil Cook, the following: "For Railroad Commissioner: S. G. McLendon, democrat; T. C. Crenshaw." The interesting feature is the fact that Mr. Crenshaw is not assigned to any party, and his is the only name on the blank which is not so assigned. The names of the democratic candidates nominated at the state convention in Macon are all there, followed by the word, "democrat." Likewise, the names of all the socialist candidates for state house offices also appear-on the blank followed by the word, "socialist." But Mr. Crenshaw, who, on Thursday, announced as a candidate for railroad commissioner, appears unassigned to any party. He was at the capitol recently and says he is running as a democratic candidate, as he feels he has a right to do. New State Executive Committee. Chairman A. L. Miller of the state democratic executive committee, to whom the state convention left the matter of naming eleven members from the state at large, has announced the names of these members as follows: J. Pope Brown of Pulaski county, Scaborn Wright of Floyd county, John P. Knight of Berrien county, Sim T. Blalock of Fayette county, W. J. Bush of Miller county, Newton A. Morris of Cobb county, E. H. Mason of Glynn county, Reuben R. Arnold of Fulton county, Fuller E. Callaway of Troup county, Boykin Wright of Richmond county, Robert L. Berner of Monroe county. Attention has been called to the fact that in naming these eleven members, the first, eighth and ninth congressional districts were ignored, while two members each were named from the second, Knight of Berren and Bush of Miller; two from the sixth, Blajock of Faygte and Berner of Monroe, and two from the seventh, Wright of Floyd and Morris of Cobb. This, however, was left to the discretion of the chairman. --- Compulsory Education The past week a majority of schools in towns and rural districts were opened. We want the people to watch the attendance. See who sends to school and who keeps their children out of school. A careful study of this matter for this year will convince you that some law ought to be passed by the next general assembly requiring parents to give their children a fair education. We are all taxed to support the public schools for the good of society on the supposition that society will go to school. The only logical result of compulsory taxation is compulsory education. I have a right that my neighbor shall send his children to school for the public good when I have been forced to keep open a school for the public enlightenment. The purpose of my tax is defeated in so far as any child is prevented from receiving its benefits. I am forced to pay tax to support a school and then to pay tax to try and punish the criminal child of the parent who would not patronize the school. It seems to me that those who fear to educate the white child for fear of educating the negro are assuming a fearful responsibility. Elementary education is granted under the constitution to all because all history has shown that ignorance is a cure for no evil, but is the handmaiden of vice. Give the negro the right kind of education for the life he is to live, fit him for life's duties on the farm, in the shop and in the home and education will help him. Much that we have given him under the name of education was folly and a snare. But with all the false teaching he has made progress and he will make much more when we learn to educate him in keeping with his life. But all this aside, the question still remains, "Shall the white remain in darkness because the bringing them light brings it to the negro also."—J. S. STEWART, State University. Train and Trolley Crash Two persons were killed and several injured Friday night in a collision between a Pennsylvania railroad train and a trolley car at a crossing in the southwestern section of Philadelphia. BOTH MEN WERE KILLED. Conductor and Barber Have Deadly Duel on Moving Train. Conductor Lee Hicks engaged in a pistol duel with J. M. Higginbottom, on the rear platform of a car as his train was leaving the station at Brooksville, Fla., Tuesday afternoon, and both men were instantly killed. Higginbottom was a barber of Brooksville.

In a harmonious and enthusiastic final session in Carnegie hall in New York, Wednesday night, the state convention of the Independence League put into the field a straight ticket of state officers, headed by W. R. Hearst, for governor, to be voted for at the coming election. The delegates cheered for over half an hour when Mr. Hearst appeared on the platform to make a brief speech of acceptance. His address aroused much enthusiasm. The full ticket was announced as follows: Governor—William Randolph Hearst of New York. Lieutenant Governor—Lewis Stuyvesant Chauler of Dutchess. Secretary of State—John S. Whalen of Monroe. State Treasurer—George A. Fuller of Jefferson. Comptroller—D. C. H. W. Auel of Erie. State Engineer and Surveyor—F. L. Gettman of Tempkins. Attorney General—John Ford of New York. The convention drafted a reply to the democrats who had written suggesting possible fusion with the democrats, and suggesting that no nomination be made by the independents at this time. The reply expressed thanks for the interest of the democrats, and sympathy for the rank and file in their honest endeavor to wrest the Buffalo convention from the control of the "bosses," but the Independence League could not postpone the business it had been assembled to carry out. The straight ticket was named without equivocation. FIGHTING THIRTY-DAY NOTICE. An Appeal to Commerce Commission by Cotton Men. The interstate commerce commission at Washington, Wednesday, heard arguments regarding the petitions from various cotton carrying roads for authority to change rates on export cotton upon less than thirty days' notice. It was the first time that the full commission had met since the membership was increased. According to an Atlanta Baptist minister, it costs $1 to save a soul in Philadelphia and Chicago, and only twenty-five cents in Atlanta. In the good old times salvation was free.
