VOL. XXII. Opens at Atlanta Under Auspicious Circumstances. Many Home-Comers Register and Vast Crowds View Excellent Exhibits and the Many Amusement Attractions. The gates of the Georgia state fair swung open at Atlanta Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock and the first day of the home coming of Georgia born was on to continue until October 20. Gally bedecked buildings crowded with countless exhibits and scores of attractions dotted the grounda-beneath clear skies. The opening day was one of the most auspicious in years, and visitors from every section of the United States gathered in happy unison to witness the inauguration of a season that promises to be the most successful in the history of the state. Although the first day had been officially designated as the beginning of the home coming reunions, visitors from Georgia as well as the other states passed through the turnstiles that were kept busy checking up the little pieces of pasteboard. From the first hour that the gates were thrown open until late in the afternoon the happy crowds passed through, distributing themselves to all portions of the grounds, finding their chief points of interest in the big agricultural displays in the government building and the shows that constitute the midway. Among the first of the home-comers to arrive was G. B. Thompson of Panama City, Fla., who promptly registered and was given badge No. 1. He had not been in Atlanta since the day that Sherman occupied the city, and met many others of the same faith and order. During the afternoon the crowds increased and records were broken for the first day by 2:30 o'clock. Every department of the fair was in readiness when the turnstile began to click. The agricultural exhibits that were the pride of last season's fair were eclipsed by the displays that had been prepared. The machinery exhibits were also in place and the steady wheezing of traction engines, wind mills and farming steam devices mingled with the cries of the midway spleeters. As promised the county exhibits proved to be a great feature of the exposition and it was acknowledged on every side that the display this year is far and away the best that has ever been collected together in Georgia. These county exhibits are under the general direction of J. T. Williams of Haddock, Jones county, and this well known Georgian was congratulated on every side for the fine showing made. These exhibits are of the kind that must make every Georgian honestly and truly proud of the Empire State of the South. From the mountains and "red old hills" of Rabun county to the shores of Camden county the resource, industries and manufactures of the state are displayed in a way that makes each trip to the park a real and practical education in the present prosperity which is the happy share of the commonwealth. Not only are there thousands of varieties of fruit, grains, vegetables, etc., but some of these articles are of the certain prize winning size and admirably and artistically arranged. A DEAFMUTE WEDDING. All Parties Connected With Ceremony Were Deaf and Dumb. Miss Carrie Anna Wall of Augusta and Alexander Denham Estill of Savannah, both of whom were deaf and dumb, were married at Augusta Wednesday by Rev. O. J. Whilden of Baltimore, also a mute. The bridesmaid, likewise, was a mute. The groom is a nephew of Colonel J. H. Estill, proprietor of the Savannah News. FUNSTON NOT TO STAY IN CUBA. Governor Magoon and General Bell to Take Charge of Affairs. General Frederick Funston will not continue in command of the American forces in Cuba. Governor Taft announced Wednesday that he and General Funston will leave Havana for the United States Saturday on the battleship Louisiana. With them will go Assistant Secretary of State Bacon and the affairs of Cuba will be left in the hands of Governor Magoon and General J. Franklin Bell. Put Upon His Opponents by Head of Bottiers' Association—Row Ensues Over Bitter Attack on Unions. A sensational debate as to whether the American Bottlers' Protective Association should repudiate or endorse the attack made by its president, Geo. B. Hugo, upon labor unions, was precipitated at the final business session of the association in Atlanta Wednesday morning. For half an hour words flew thick and hot and for part of the time directly between the president and Walter Stapleton, a delegate from Bridgeport, who opposed the expression of Mr. Hugo's emphatic views. As an outcome of the situation, it was voted that President Hugo's address should not be published by the association in pamphlet form. The dispute began when George W. Tucker, of Philadelphia moved 2 reconsideration of a motion made Tuesday that President Hugo's address be printed in pamphlet form and sent to every bottler in the United States. Mr. Tucker alleged expense as his objection to carrying out the orders of this motion. After a few speeches on the motion to reconsider Walter Stapleton of Bridgeport sprang to his feet and said: "Gentlemen, we are not here to butt into other organizations. We don't sell our goods to Vanderbilt and Rockefeller. We sell to the working man and if such ideas as were expressed here yesterday go out over the country approved by this association you'll see might soon what our customers among laboring classes will do. Let's strike from our minutes every word about anti-unionism. Don't let us endorse any man who holds to such opinions as the president uttered." There was applause from parts of the hall, but the cheering ceased as President Hugo, leaving the chair, advanced a few paces from the rostrum, and said: "You come here under the pretense of opposing the publication of my address on the ground that it would cost too much. I was prepared to meet that, for I was going to bear the expense of publication myself. But that isn't your reason. You're afraid, and you know it." At this juncture Mr. Stapleton interrupted with: "You're not the whole association." "I'm, a part of it though," rejoined the president, "and I'll stick to my statements." Then followed a denunciation of unions more bitter even than his Tuesday's address. "Any man," he said, "who willingly signs an agreement to employ only union men is a traitor to his country and free institutions. Any man who signs it unwillingly is a coward and whether he signs it willingly or unwillingly he's a fool." President Hugo then took a lunge at Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and declared: "When Gompers goes to the government and says that what he demands must be granted, when he enters politics and seeks to defeat honest men because they don't uphold his socialistic views, then the time has come for self-respecting business men to call a halt on him. Such institutions as he represents must be killed." "And it can be" cried President Hugo. "It's the biggest game of bluff ever put up. It's simply a foreflusher's game foisted upon the people and you can call it if you'll only be men enough not to lie down like a lot of whipped curs." "Out of twenty-eight millions of working people in this country only two millions belong to the union. That makes about one man out of every 14 who is in the union. I say that if you can't make your living out of those 14 honest men, you ought to go out of business. And if you don't endorse these sentiments, I'll brand the majority of this association as cowards." Four cities contested for the next meeting place of the association—Denver, Colo., Philadelphia, St. Louis and Rock Island, Ill. Denver was selected. STOLE ONLY A MILLION. Big Banking and Mercantile Firm is Forced to Close Up. The assignment of J. M. Ceballos & Co., bankers and merchants at New York, with liabilities between three million and four million dollars, was announced Wednesday. The statement declares that the failure was due to the defalcation and absconding of Manuel Silveira of Silveira & Co., Havana agents of the New York company. Silveira's defalcation is alleged to amount to $1,000,000. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 13, 1906. CANALBYCONTRACT Invitation for Bids is Sent Forth by Uncle Sam. A MONOPOLY IS GIVEN Only Mentor Corporations With Millions of Cash Will Be Considered. Control of Engineering Work to Be Retained. Invitations for proposals to complete the Panama canal were issued at Washington Tuesday the canal commission and the form of contract under which the work is to be done was made public by Chairman Shonts, who also gave out a letter written to the secretary of war, giving the commissions' reasons for contracting the work. The contract provides that each bidder must undertake the entire work of construction. No bar will be offered to corporations associating in the undertaking, but they must be legally organized into a single body with which the government can deal. Bidders will not be considered who do not have capital of $5,000,000. A bond of $200,000 is required with each proposal and bond of $3,000,000 will be required from the successful bidder. The bidding is not limited to American contractors. All proposals are to be in before noon of December 12, when they will be opened. Proposals are to be expressed in terms of percentage upon the estimated cost of construction, which is to be fixed by a board of five engineers. The chief engineer of the canal commission is to be chairman of the engineering board. The engineering board will also estimate a reasonable time for the completion of the canal and will agree upon a system of premiums and penalties to be handed to the contractor according as the work is completed within or beyond the estimated cost or time. The contract specifies that the commission is to retain control of all engineering work in connection with the taxation of the canal, also municipal engineering, the police, sanitary, hospital and commissary departments, mess houses, quarters, construction and maintenance of buildings, operation of the Panama railway. Sixty days after signing the contract actual work is to begin on the isthmusa. No American employee is to work more than eight hours. Chairman Shonts defends the percentage system of payment in his letter to Secretary Taft as follows: "This plan is being employed increasingly by the oldest, largest and most successful corporations in the country. "The government will get the benefit of the combined efforts of the best and most experienced contractors in the world, each in charge of a department in which he is a specialist and co-operating with other specialists. "The government will secure the co-operation of these contractors in keeping mechanics of all classes. "By retaining control of the work and exercising strict supervision through its engineering force, the government will protect itself against cheap or faulty work. "The contract will be more flexible. Finally a termination of the contract, should it become necessary, will be less disastrous to the contractors, while a resumption of work would be easier to the government on account of its close relations thereto." The canal, under the contract, can be constructed with better results than it can be done by the government, Secretary Ghons says. It would take the commission years to get men and build up departments equal to those now controlled by the leading contractors, according to the letter. Kansas Man' Received Commission in Cuban Army at Last Moment. C. A. Moser of Wichita, Kansas, received a commission as general in the Cuban army Wednesday and the next day he was asked to resign. His commission was directly from President Palma. He intended to raise a regiment of rough riders. When Secretary Taft arrived in Havana Mosher was asked to resign and return the contract sent him. In the same letter a draft was sent him for his salary as a Cuban general for 24 hours. Mr. Mosher is over 60 years old. LABOR UNIONS ATTACKED President of American Bottlers Association Says Unionism, as Now Conducted, Must Be Destroyed. The American Bottlers' Protective Association began its eighteenth annual session Tuesday morning. The initial meeting did not attempt any business, and the session was given over to addressos of welcome by Governor Terrell, Mayor Woodward and responses by members of the association. Following these, President Geo. B. Hugo delivered the annual address, in which he clearly outlined the policy of the association. One section of his address bordered on the sensational, attacking, as he did, trades-unions in the most withering fashion, and declaring that they are a menace to society as they are now conducted. Fully one thousand delegates from various parts of the country were in attendance. Many of them were accompanied by their wives and daughters. President Hugo's opposition to unions was based upon his charge that the union cannot determine the value of an employee, that every business must have a responsible head and that when his authority is divided with that of a "walking delegate" it is no longer authority. In this connection Mr. Hugo said: "The logical sequence of labor unionism is socialism, and socialism as commonly understood means stagnation and commercial death to any country. This propaganda is being preached until it has created a feeling of hatred between employer and employee, in place of that feeling of good will so necessary for the success of any business. The labor union with its devilish weapons of coercion, intimidation and cruelty, coupled with the selfishness, greed and cowardice of the employers, has first brought the independent workman to his knees and now has assumed the dictatorial attitude of a tyrant, demanding the control and management of our business. "How long will it be before we realize that the trade-unions are giving us a lesson of which we are badly in need, showing that individuals defecated separately, are invincible when united. "Every business must have a responsible head who must have authority. Divide this authority with a walking delegate and it is no longer authority. Who is to determine the value of an employee? How can the value of an employee be determined? If he is a member of a labor union he cannot serve two masters, he cannot be loyal to you and his union, and a man without a soul has no value. "Ullonism as at present conducted must be destroyed, must be killed. As Elbert Hubbard says in his preachment on the Law of Pivotal Points: "Where labor unions go beyond the Pivotal Point and attempt to dictate the amount of the output—forbidding any many to earn more than so much; decide on the proportion of apprentices to workmen—that is, who shall advance and who not; tear our work that has been done by non-union men and require that it shall be done over by union men; insist that you must join a union, or else be deprived of the right to work; then the union has passed the Pivotal Point, and has ceased to give an equitable return. "When your children do not go to school for fear of the cry of 'scab;' when your wife dare not hang out the washing in the back yard for fear of the cry of 'scab;' when you hesitate to go to your work knowing you may be carried home on a shutter; when brickbats take the place of reason, and the walking delegate says: 'Carry a unison card or take out an accident policy, then things have gone so far in self-protection the union must be temporarily laid low with a link-pin. "The people of America cannot afford to let any combination of men become, an engine for the destruction of liberty; be it labor, union, Molly Maguire's or Ku-Kux." AFTER SCALP OF CANNON. Federation of Labor to Make Fight Against Speaker of the House. It was reported in Washington that the managers of the American Federation of Labor campaign in politics have under consideration a new move, this time looking to the defeat of Speaker Cannon for re-election to the speakership in case the republicans control the next house. All congressional candidates who will not give assurances that if re-elected they will vote for some other candidate than Cannon for speaker will be marked. MACHINIST38TRIKE Shops of the Southern Silent in Many Cities. ROAD REFUSED DEMANDS Men Asked for an Increase of 25 Per Cent in Wages and Ten Hours a Day, But Were Turned Down, Consequently They Strike. The refusal of the Southern railway to further treat with its machinists relative to wages has resulted in a general strike throughout the big system. One thousand machinists in the employ of the road walked out Monday morning at 11 o'clock. Last August the machinists made a demand for a 25 per cent increase in wages and ten hours a day. The matter was referred to a committee of railroad officials composed of Superintendent of Motive Power Stewart and General Manager Spencer, the latter a relative of President Spencer. Frequent delays were asked for by the officials, but finally an ultimatum was issued, which stated in substance that the Southern had decided to refuse the demands of the machinists. The busy hum of the machinery in the various shops of the company was soon supplanted by a death-like stillness, and if the big corporation is as stubborn and persistent in its refusal of an increase in pay as the machinists are determined the strike will be of long duration. James O'Connell of Washington, D.C., president of the international association, ordered the strike immediately after the first ultimatum of the Southern railway was made known to him. The International Association of Machinists, which is one of the strongest unions in the country, demanded a general increase throughout the system of the Southern of 25 cents per day of ten hours. The demand was made last August, and since that time officials of the company have had the matter under consideration. Pending the decision of the railroad, the machinists continued at work. Finally, the railroad officials offered an increase of 15 cents per day to the machinists employed at the Atlanta shops and an increase of five cents per day to the employees at the Spencer, N. C., Charleston and Knoxville shops. This was declined; whereupon the road refused to consider the question further. Hence the strike. The following shops are affected by the strike: Atlanta, Alexandria, Va.; Manchester, Va.; Spencer, N. C.; Asheville, N. C.; Columbia, S. C.; Charleston, S. C.; Macon, Ga.; Birmingham, Selma, Ala.; Greenville, Miss.; Knoxville, Sheffield, Ala., and Greenville, S. C. At present the machinists receive $3 per day for ten hours' work, while the apprentices' scale of wages is graduated from 75 cents to $1.25 per day of ten hours. The strike is the first in which the machinists have engaged since 1991, when they demanded a nine-hour day and a general increase of 25 cents per day. The 25 cents per day was allowed and the nine hours refused. Bays Derogatory Statements About Himself Are a Batch of Lies. William R. Hearst, candidate for governor of New York on the Independence League and democratic ticket, began his week's campaigning with four addresses in Manhattan on Monday night. He dwelt at length on the attacks made upon him by the newspapers of New York city, and denounced as a batch of lies most of the statements affecting himself as a candidate and in his private capacity. Tilt Between Bailey and Crane at Houston, Texas, Abandoned. The debate between United States Senator J. W, Bailey and M. M. Crane of Dallas, which was scheduled last Saturday night, in Houston, Texas, was abandoned. Senator Bailey spoke at one place in the city and Mr. Crane at another. The committee representing Mr. Crane contended that their man should be given the right of opening and closing the debate, and this being denied called off the debate. ```markdown ``` TROOPS LANDED IN CUBA Several Hundred Soldiers Boys Debarked at Havana and Sent tp Camp Columba The first landing of American soldiers in the present occupation of Cuba was accompanied Sunday with marvelous promptness and the second and third battalions of the fifth United States infantry are now settled under canvas in Camp Columbia. The first and fourth battalions of the same regiment which arrived at Havana Sunday afternoon also were sent out to the camp promptly. General Funston established his headquarters at Marianao, convenient to his command. Colonel Waller, commanding the marines, has been crdeed to report to General Funston and the entire force of regulars and marines will be under Funston's command until the arrival of General Bell, who will direct the distribution of the forces throughout the island. Within an hour from the time that the transport Sumner came alongside the railroad wharf in Havana, the disembarking had been completed and the 150 men composing the second and third battalions of the fifth had been transported on street cars direct to the camp. The troops are in good condition. The disarming of former insurgents progresses better. Reports from members of the di armament commission in various provinces indicate that trouble which was threatened may be avoided, although ex-rebels and volunteers in a few towns in Santa Clara province are still disinclined to be the first to disarm and it is taed that American soldiers may have to be sent to back up the demands of the disarmament commission. Havana, Santiago, Pinar d'l Río, Matanzas and Puerto Principe provinces are practically clear of rebels and show no signs of trouble. Governor Taft, Assistant Secretary Bacon and General Funston are gratified at the situation and believe that the difficulties in Santa Clara province will be overcome in a few days. So confident are they that Governor Taft and Mr. Bacon say that they believe they will be able to start for home within a week. TWO LYNCHED IN ALABAMA. Negroes Swing Up by Mob for A Negroes Swung Up by Mob for Assaults on White Women. A special from Mobile, Ala., says: The crimes committed, upon Edna May Fowler, Lillian May Savell, Ruth Sossaman, and attempted on others whose names are not given, were avenged by a party of forty-five men Saturday afternoon in a lonely place just off the Holt road, in the neighborhood of Pricheards station. The leaders ordered: the men, who were all armed with revolvers, shot guns and Winchester rifles, not to fire a shot, and the orders were carried out. Robinson, who committed the first crimes that startled the people of Mobile, and worked them up into a furry, bordering on madness, culminating in the attack on the jail, was first strung up. He said nothing, and slowly strangled to death after being strung up. The other negro, named Thompson, was very sullied from the time that he was taken by the mob until the rope was placed around his neck. In fact, neither of the men showed any signs of fear. WOULD HAVE BEEN WISER. "If I had wanted to be a thief I would never, have taken a package of tin tobacco tags when I have hundreds of thousands of dollars entrusted to my care all the time," dramatically declared George Lyle of Atlanta, Ga., before Judge Mullowy, in Washington, D. C., after being found guilty of stealing 3,499 such tags, valued at 1 cent each, from the Southern Express company, by whom he is employed as a messenger. "Maybe it would have been wiser," the court agreed, "for then you would have been showered with bouquets." ASSAILANT MUST DIE. Velled, and Tens of Crime At Bennettsville, S. C., Richard Dargan, a negro, was sentenced to hang October 19, after Judge Hus- son had rushed the trial through, the taking only half an hour for dinner. Mrs. Patterson, the victim of the assaultant, appeared in the court for heavily velled, and told of the crime. Her two small daughters also were fled, corporating her statement, and did some neighboring negroes. ee es Agents Wanted | eager tal BE Tian Willen ehh on bid tein t. tO Everywhere °F Gacrpian by anthony andanda the provisions oft seb of the Gental Sesh, efipirsed-—Colobet B80 A8Sf— ond —arcended —Derrmbes os a ‘Liberal Terms and Commission. + \.

Call on or ad- dress then, Enclose stgmp for reply- An advertisement - that appeared one day in the Morning Post, informed an interested world that Mrs. Mandeville-Jones required a governess for her younger daughter, aged thirteen, with the mention of a salary identical with the wages that Mrs. Mandeville-Jones paid her underhousemaid. Reggie Fulwarton, who, knows everybody, spotted the advertisement at once, and in the smoking room of the Hookah Club, called the attention of one of his pals, to its seductive offers. "What! You don't know Mrs. Mandeville-Jones? Why, old Jones was proprietor of some patent medicine or other. Regular old bounder. And she too awful for words! But he's safely planted underneath the daisies, while she's got a house in Berkeley square and plenty of the needful! So there you are!" Nevertheless, Mrs. Mandeville-Jones had plenty of answers to her advertisement from applicants to undertake the education of Miss Irene Mandeville-Jones at £18 a year. Among the rest was a dark girl of about twenty, very simply dressed in mourning, whose appearance attracted the mamma of Miss Irene, because she looked meek and snubbable, and was neither too good looking nor too well dressed for a "governess person." Mrs. Mandeville-Jones elicited the fact that her name was Una Carew; that her father, who had been rector of a remote Cornish village, had lately died, leaving her mother and herself very badly off; and that she had decided to take a situation as governess, while her mother went to live with her brother in the north of England; who could not take both of them in. "And you have references?" inquired Mrs. Mandeville-Jones. "I have a letter from Lady Chedgrave," said Una, timidly, handing it to the lady as she spoke. "Lady Chedgrave!" said Mrs. Mahdeville-Jones, suspiciously. "I thought the present earl was a widower!" "This is from the Dowager Lady Chedgrave," explained Una, hastily. "She lives in our village and has known me all my life!" The handwriting of z dowager countess did not fall to impress Mrs. Jones' mind, and she decided to engage Miss Carew as the instructress of her beloved Irene, who was a finely developed specimen of the genus "spoiled child." Una Carew, who had always been used to be petted and made much of at home, found her life in the Berkeley mansion anything but a bed or roses. The ostentation and vulgarity of the whole establishment and its occupants jarred upon her. But unfortunately there was another thing which preyed upon her mind. Nearly a year before her father's death, Lord Langley, the eldest son of the Earl of Chedgrave, whom she had known ever since they were boy and girl together, had come to her and asked her to marry him. But Una knew what a hot-tempered and eccentric old man Lord Chedgrave was; and though he had always been extremely kind to her, and even made a sort of pet of her, she knew he would never dream of accepting her as a daughter-in-law. In fact, he had definitely said that his son must marry an heirress, and that if he disobeyed him and married a pauler they might sweep a crossing, for they would never get a penny of allowance out of him. And so had told her ardent suitor that she would never marry him. In consequence he had gone off to the Rockies in search of the grizzly. But poor Una, having got rid of her lover, with feminine perversity longed for him to come back; and when she saw a paragraph stating that Lord Langley was bringing home an American heiress as his bride she began to lie awake at night wondering why the universe was not run on a totally different plan. One day, however, there appeared a new misfortune. Irene announced that her brother Bertie, aged twenty-two, was coming back from a protracted tour on the Continent. And he proved to be very much the sort of little bounder that she had expected. What Una had not anticipated, however, was that, finding a "doosid pretty girl" established under the maternal roof, he felt it his duty to start "spooning." Now Una Carew was by no means so deficient in spirit as Mrs. Jones had imagined; and when Mr. Bertie began paying her his somewhat exaggerated attentions, she had no hesitation in snubbing him heartily. Bertie himself was surprised and disgusted to find that a mere governess was not prepared to accept him quite at his own valuation; and he took counsel with a bossin friend at the club. "Fact, I assure you, dear boy! Spend all my time makin' eyes at her, don't you know; and don't get a bit forraider!" Fulwarton looked up. "Oh, the 'Balmy Bounder' relating his conquests! Rough on the girl, anyhow!" he said to himself. "Why didn't you try her with gloves?" "Just what I did! Hanged if she didn't tell me she had plenty of her own, and didn't want any of mine!" "Told her I should never have guessed it from personal observation. Ha-ha-ha!" "Infernal little' cad! He wants kicking!" murmured Reggie to his cigar "Gad! You should have seen the way she blazed up! Thought she was going to hit me over the head with her parasoll! Hang it all, she needn't give herself such alrs. If her name is Una Carew! She's only a governess, after all!" A telegram that Fulwarton wrote was addressed to Lord Langley at a hotel in Paris, and contained only two words: "Wanted—Run." The fact that Lord Langley had been Fulwarton's fag at Eton may possibly account for the curious wording of the message. As soon as Langley arrived in London he went straight to Fulwarton's chambers to ask him what he meant by dragging him away from the Gay City with such a peremptory wire. "First of all, old chap, about that American heiress whom we have seen darkly hinted at in various papers?" "A mere figment of the fertile journalistic imagination! I hope to heaven you haven't dragged me all this way merely to hear me deny such an obvious 'duck' as that!" "Not exactly! The next question is—what about Una Carew?" "My dear Reggle, after her father's death she went away somewhere as a governess. But all my efforts to trace her have failed!" "And you are still—?" "You infernal idiot! Of course, I am still—as you gracefully put it. Only, as you know, she refused me!" "All right. Supposing I could tell you where she is?" "You don't really mean it, Reggie!" "Well, look here. You know the Mandeville-Jones lot?" "I've heard of them." . . . "Very well. That's where Una Carew is doing the 'Jane Eyre' turn! And the 'Balmy, Bounder' himself is trying to introduce a little sunshine into her existence!" The next day when Lord Langley called in Berkeley square and asked to see Miss Carew, the pompous butler informed him that she was walking in Hyde Park with Miss Irene. He jumped into a hansom and dashed off to see if he could find her there, but not before his card had been secured by the butler, who in due course laid it before Mrs. Jones. Now it so happened that a friend of the latter lady caught sight of Irene in the park, and bore her off to tea, leaving Una Carew with the afternoon to herself. By a singular coincidence Mr. Bertie Jones happened to come upon her in a solitary portion of the park, and seized the opportunity of being more than usually pressing in his attentions. Things had actually got to the stage when Una had begun to raise her voice in alarm, when Mr. Bertie Jones suddenly found himself seated in a freshly watered flower bed, while a particularly athletic-looking young gentleman tucked Una's trembling arm in his and marched her off in another direction. The next morning, however, Lord Langley, in spite of the protests of the butler, insisted on seeing Miss Carew. He then proceeded, as eloquently as he knew how, to plead his suit. But Una was still firm in her refusal, being convinced that it would ruin his prospects in the eyes of his father. Lord Langley was just beginning to wonder whether by any chance she cared for some one else, when the door was thrown open and the butler announced: "The Earl of Chedgrave!" "Una, my dear," he began, "how d'ye do? Come and kiss me! Langley, you infernal young soundrel, what are you doing here, sir? What's that? Do I understand you to say that you are making an offer of marriage to Miss Carew? You dare to tell me that to my very race?" "But, father, she has refused me!" "Refused you? Then, by gad, sir, she is a sensible girl! She evidently knows you are a worthless young fool, or you would have proposed to her a year ago!" "But I did, sir; and she refused me then, too!" "Better and better! Hanged if I don't marry the girl myself! Una, my dear, will you marry me?" Poor Una was thoroughly puzzled by this new aspect of the old man, but he went briskly on: "Now, look here, my dear, you have got to choose between the old fool and the young fool. Which will you have? Don't mind saying that you prefer to have me as a father-in-law, if that's how you feel about it. Langley, you idiot, why don't you kiss the girl, while I do the heavy father in the background?" When this had been duly carried out, Langley, who was still lost in astonishment, remarked, "But I thought, sir, you always sald I must marry an helress?" "So I did. Because I knew what an infernally obstinate young fool you were! But I meant you all along to marry Una! So now it is all set-tled!" At this point the door was again throa open, and this time Mm. Mandeville-Jones stalked in and at once began: "Mr. dear Lord Chedgrave—" "Pardon me, madam, for interrupting you!" said his lordship, who was now fairly bubbling over with excitement. "You were good enough to write me about my son's movements. Allow me to say that my son is quite capable of taking care of himself.

On some farms it will be a good business operation to sell off the best timothy and horsehay and buy standing grass of the lower grade to be cut and cured for the cattle. The crop is so good in many localities that a great deal of this meadow hay and brook grass is for sale at very low prices, farmers having enough of the better grass to fill their barns and not caring to stack the lower grades.—American Cultivator. Advice For Poultry Growers. Use kerosene to rid the hen-house of lice. Wash the roosts with it. Apply it with a brush, as you would paint, to all cracks and corners where lice would be likely to lurk. Use it liberally and frequently. Act on the principle that prevention is better than cure. Persian insect powder, if you can get the fresh article, is the best remedy for lice on fowls. It is harmless to the fowl, but death to the insect. Old powder is generally worthless. Catch the hen and dust it freely among her feathers and under her wings. Feed a soft mash in the morning. The hens seem to relish it better than at any other time during the day. Make it of two parts bran, one part middlings, one part cornmeal, one part crushed oats. Add a pinch of salt and one of cayenne pepper. Meat can be used to advantage about three times a week. Run it through a sausage grinder. Use about a pound each time to a dozen hens. It will stimulate them to laying, as a general thing, and will prove a welcome addition to their usual diet, which ought to be varied occasionally. A fowl's appetite is sharpened and benefited by a change of food, now and then, though the regular bill of fare should be made up largely of corn, oats, wheat and barley. It pays to humor a hen's whims, somewhat, when eggs are bringing a big price and fresh ones are hard to get. -Outing Magazine. Rabbits and Farm Crops. Too many of the so-called game laws are made for the benefit of the sportsman rather than the preservation of insectivorous birds or beneficial animals. We have heretofore spoken of the protection of rabbits in many States. There is no possible reason for the protection of these pests of the farm, except to give sport to the idle fellows who follow their beagles over the farmers' land without any regard for the farmer or his crops. No close season is needed for rabbits, for no matter when or how they are hunted they will increase more than is desirable to the farmer. And now we hear that on Long Island they are having a pest of jack rabbits, which are far worse than our common hare. Sportsmen turned loose there a large number of these long eared gentry and they have increased to such an extent that the crops of the truck farmers have suffered greatly. We do not believe that if the matter was carried to the higher courts that any farmer could be fined for shooting any wild animal that is a pest to his crops at any time he chooses to do so. No one has a right for mere sport to turn out a lot of animals that prey on the farmers' crops, and every farmer has the natural right to protect his farm and crops from trespass by wild animals or by the idle fellows that hunt them. All that is needed is for the farmers to unite in testing the ridiculous game laws that are made solely for the sportsmen. As it is now, the fruit grower must stand by and let the robins eat his cherries and the jack rabbits eat his garden truck, and under the game laws he cannot shoot them. The law guarantees every man peaceable possession of his lands, and these are serious trespasses, and we believe that under any sensible bill of rights the farmer has the right to protect his land from trespass. It is mainly a craze for sport at the expense of the farmer.—The Practical Farmer. The Best Remedies. The young squash plants are attacked when they are just, appearing above ground, to prevent which the hills should be covered with wire netting, the edges to be burled under the soil, as the bugs will endeavor to get under them. The netting will also keep out the flea beetles and yellow and black-striped bugs. As soon as the plants have five leaves the covers should be removed and the bugs fought by other methods. Some gardeners plant more seeds than can properly develop in order to provide against the destruction of the whole hill. The bugs are not partial to clean cultivation. The burning of useless rubbish in the fields reduces the winter shelter, and all vines should be collected, and burned after harvesting the crop. The bugs may be collected by hand from the vines, or from the squash plants between the rows used as traps. The bugs also seek shelter under leaves, in the earth, under clods or boards, or wherever they can find a covering. All eggs should be destroyed and the vines examined twice a day. The bug will always leave the melon or cucumber for the squash, hence a few squash vines among the melons and cucumbers will trap them. Kerosene emulsion may be used. An eight per cent. kerosene emulsion may injure the plants, about seven per cent. being strong enough (seven parts kerosene to 100 parts water). It is also important to kill as many bugs as possible in autumn, after the crop is harvested, and be sure to burn every vine. When spraying the vines care should be used, as the kerosene and water must be intimately mixed. The first flow should be on the ground for a minute, as it may contain too much kerosene. Spray the vines lightly, not too much, the spray to be very fine. The mixture will drive the bugs from their covers, when they can then be destroyed, but, as stated before, everything depends upon destroying them by hand.—Philadelphia Record. Some Points For Care of the Horse. Raise the collars from the shoulders of the work teams several times a day and bathe the parts with cool water. It is not only a humane practice, but will prevent gallled shoulders. Horses, like people, should be watered before feeding, not afterward. A little attention to this matter will prevent colic and promotes good digestion in oth beasts and humans. Lye water will act like magic in cleaning the currycombs and brushes. It won't take much time to give them a thorough cleansing, and the result will be pleasing to you and the stock. Stock prefer salt where they can get at it at will rather than having it forced upon them in their food, at irregular intervals. Keep a salt box where horses and cows can help themselves. Whether your horses and colts are easy or difficult to catch, when in pasture, does not depend so much on the breed of the animals as on the master. A horse that is sure of finding a taste of oats, a lump of sugar or some other treat waiting for him in his master's hand, when called, will not hesitate to obey the summons. It is all right to brush and curry the horse's sides and back all you please, but don't forget their feet and legs. Even careful grooming of the extremities will amount to little if the animals are compelled to stand in dirty stables. Clean stable floors are essential to sound feet and limbs on a horse and what is the animal good for without these? The foundation principle of driving or riding is never to ask a movement of a horse unless you have conveyed to him, by a delicate manipulation of the bit and reins, the intelligence that you are about to require motion of him. This applies to starting, stopping, turning, backing and every movement possible to the animal. Its conveyance is so subtle as to be almost automatic—electric. Indianapolis News. Practical Advice on Horse Feeding. A noted French horseman gives the following in an agricultural journal of Paris regarding the proper feeding of horses: "Three meals are necessary and sufficient, with an interval of four or five hours between to keep a horse in good condition. Oats take at least two hours to digest; hay takes three hours, and because it takes so long it should be given when the day's work is over. The evening meal should be a full meal, the animal being then at rest and able to digest its food at leisure. There should be an interval of half an hour between the return of the horse to the stable and his getting his evening meal. "Too much food at a meal or too long abstinence between meals, followed by voracious feeding, is conducive to colic and indigestion. Irregularly fed he is given to showing his impatience by letting his hoops play about the woodwork of his stall. Giving 'refreshers' at odd times is also bad. Remember that both stomach and bladder should never be loaded in work time, whether light or heavy work is done. A horse, therefore, should not be haken or driven immediately after a meal, on the same principle that it ought not to be fed sooner than half an hour after work is over. Between one end of the year and another a horse consumes an amount of dry, heating food which calls for a special regime to neutralise the excessive proteld consumption that has taken place. Thus in autumn a ration of carrots given before the evening meal is good, and so in spring, at the fall of the winter coat, a little grain meal is beneficial; mixed with hay and oats, for the evening meal. Another maxim much disregarded in practice is that the horse should be watered long enough before being put to work, and then sparingly." Germany has just revised its railway tariff, which involves a multiplication of tickets. It is calculated that a traveler with a small family going from Mulhouse to Bale will find himself furnished with sixty tickets, in addition to which are those for baggage BEES AT $200 EACH. Woman Apiarist Insures "Queens" From Italy. Two score Italian queen bees, valued at from $50 to $200 each, arrived recently on the steamship St. Paul. They are the property of Mrs. R. C. Riggs, of Arkansas City, Kan., who herself accompanied them. Salerno, Italy, it seems, is headquarters for the finest variety of Italian queen, and thither Mrs. Riggs went for the express purpose of having a number of these valuable insects. "The Italian woman buys Riggs's speaking dresses for purchase, 'is much larger than the ordinary bee and is of a heavier, light gold color. It is worth $10,000 of times its own weight, and because of its marvellous productivity. No other I can compare with it in this respect." Of course, having a valuable lot of merchandise in her possession — her new bees are valued at $1800—Mrs. Riggs wanted to have them insured. The average person wouldn't know where to go or what to do to get a swarm, of bees insured, But Mrs. Riggs did. An Italian company assumed the risk for the tiny creatures on their voyage to America, so that her only danger lay in the journey between New York and Arkansas City. "Of the tens of thousands of people who eat honey or who see bees flitting about among the clover blooms in summer," said Mrs. Riggs, "very few know anything of the trouble entailed in raising bees or realize the immense capital that is invested in apiculture. During the sixteen years that I have been in the business I have expended something like $125,000 on my apiaries. The returns, however, have been fairly large, as I market my honey in many cities. "Bee farming is not a business out of which the novice can expect to reap much of a harvest. People reem to think any fool can make money at bees. It isn't so. The theoretical and practical sides of apiculture must be thoroughly mastered if one is to succeed in it, and that takes many years. "Incidentally, the bee farmer must not be susceptible to the virus of the sting. Every one who handles bees or is with them much must expect necessarily to take a certain amount of stinging, and those who are constitutionally not fitted to stand it are seriously handicapped in business." Mrs. Riggs declares that she is absolutely immune. "And yet I have been stung hundreds of times at once," she says. "All my assistants are equally immune—in fact, I won't engage an employee permanently who is not." One of the funny things about this whole business is that getting "stung" is supposed to be good for the "rheumatiz.' Mrs. Riggs says she actually has people come to her—people who are tortured by rheumatism—who ask the privilege of placing themselves in the way of being badly stung. Of course, she is always willing to accommodate them. "And, odaly enough," she laughed, in telling about the queer request, "I have known cases where getting stung really did relieve terrible attacks of the disease—at least, the sufferers declared it did, and they ought to krow."—New York Tribune. Sport in America. Before the Civil War we Americans had few outdoor pastimes. There was considerable fishing, very little angling. There was some foxhunting in the South, some shooting in the North. Tennis and golf were unknown to us; croquet was decorously played. Driving and riding were restricted to the few who could afford the time and expense; one or two cricket elevens struggled for existence. There were no bicycles, no motors, of course, only an absurd velocipede or two. Extreme youth "flew kites," played marbles and whipped tops. Among their elders, however, there was a mincing, artificial attitude toward all outdoor sport which found its fullest expression in a quadrille, at croquet, or a sentimental sailing expedition under the calmest of skies. However, even then we had yachtmen—natural corollary of our superb commercial navy—and we had good horses and were breeding better ones, and we by inheritance were a nation of men who handled a rifle properly. War came and left us with its immense accumulation. of good and evil, and it seemed then that out of sheer weariness of sadness and trouble the germ of the old play spirit, so long dormant, awoke among us to save us from ourselves: —Collier's Weekly.

If justice in its fullest sense be meted out to both white and black the same, there will be but little said about mob law and the lawlessness of the Negro. The great A. M. E church is today mourning the death of Bishop William D. Arnett, D. D., who died on Sunday last at Wilberforce, Ohio. He was buried on Thursday. It has been generally noted that every occurrence between a white and a colored person, the latter is made the aggreisor, matters not how much the reverse may be the fact. Some day justice will prevail. APPEALS are being made to our people to become law abiding and to assist the authorities in running down the criminals of the race. There is no objection in doing this. We shall also appeal to our white friends to put down mob law and arrest those who attempt to lead a mob. JUDGE Fleming of Augusta is among the white men of the South who look upon affairs as they are and write accordingly. If other white men especially those in authority would do like wise, differences between the races would be minimized and peace and prosperity would be the result. THE authorities in certain of our communities seem unable to cope with a mob This was demonstrated in Atlanta and Macon. If the authorities would only be more positive mob law would be a thing of the past. No quarter should be given those who form the mob and when it is seen that the officers will not connive at them, they would very soon have more respect for law. It is not necessary for the colored citizens of Savannah to meet and declare their love for law and order. The authorities are aware of this fact and naturally we felicitate ourselves about the same. It is not a recent effort of THE TRIBUNE to admonish our people in this respect but one of its purposes for years. No people will amount to anything until they become a law loving people. The press dispatches during the week showed that a marshal in a small town in south Georgia was shot and killed after prying open a window and entering a store. This store was burglarized several times and the owner remained after closing to trap the burglar. At Macon during the mob reign on Saturday last, a deputy sheriff was accused of leading the mob. He has since been discharged. So flagrant was the action of this deputy sheriff who had sworn to uphold the law that two of his colleagues had to resign but retained their places after the offensive deputy was dismissed. The authorities should place that man under arrest for breaking the laws; but will they do so? Our southern white friends just as well come to the full realization of the fact that if they continue to countenance mobs and of other forms of lawlessness among themselves that they will live to regret it. While it is apparent that the mobs, generally gather to lynch a colored man, but this is not the only offence that is committed. Deep down in the hearts of the men who form the mob there arises a sentiment against law and order and if allowed to grow, it will become so grave that it may result in the triumph of lawlessness. Our white friends should understand that while they are lynching a number of our people and injuring countless others, that it is against themselves the reaction of the spirit will be hurled. The better element among the whites should arise in their might and put down mob law. Let reason prevail and law and order be enforced. At this time especially attention is being called to the friendly manner in which the races got along together during slave days. That and this period cannot very well be compared. During the former time the very best element of the white race was in authority. The love of this class of men for justice even to the most humble, is proverb. To a great extent this The B. M. C. Meeting. All of the Savannah delegates to the B. M. C., which was held last week at Richmond, Va. have returned. It was the largest gathering ever had of this august body. Every state in the south sent a very large delegation and other sections did likewise in proposition to membership. Each delegate was active in looking out for the best interest of his lodge and the order in general. Some very excellent propositions were enacted which will redown to the best interest of the order. The everlasting fight for office was apparent from the beginning and this had much to do with some of the propositions passed upon. Georgia was there in its glory with the largest delegation and the best organized one, and naturally was looked upon with much respect and her wishes were very much gratified. The able and eloquent B. J. Davis, captivated the session from its incipiency and was easily a winner for the grand treasurership which was tendered him unanimously.

Food for the Girls. Mr. Editor. Please allow me space in your valuable paper to speak of an occurrence of last week which I regret very much and I know it is regretted by all who know of it. It is a shame that some of our boys and girls cannot behave themselves in a gentlemanly and lady like way. The idea of carrying knives and hat pins and other dangerous articles to use on their own sex. Girls do you not know that everything that you do wrong is a black mark upon your character for life? The public look on in wonder to see how some of you are carrying on. I must say that the occurrence of last week is a shame and a disgrace. It is bad enough for the grown up men and women to be fighting over each other, but coming down to our young boys and girls from the ages 12, 14 and 10 years it is horrible to think of. Now if our young boys and girls are going to continue as they are doing now, we will never be anything. How can the colored girls and young women demand respect from the young men when they have none for themselves? We the young men look to future for our brightest days from the young girls and women who are coming up now, but if they continue to carry on like they are doing now, our future is a very dark one. Now girls stop and consider the fact what is the use of our education without character; what will it be to some of you and what is the use of having it and you have no selfrespect? I thought that education made people civilized and notools to act like some savage. Girls stop and think before it will be too late. * Walter J. Lawson, Jr., of M. S. Club. Second Baptist Church.

HANDS RAW WITH EGZEMA Suffered For Ten Years-Spread to Body and Limbs-Cured by the Cuticura Remedies. "I had eczema on my hands for ten years. At first it would break out only in winter. Then it finally came to stay. I had three good doctors to do all they could, but none of them did any good. I then used one box of Cuticura Ointment and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, and was completely cured. My hands were raw all over, inside and out, and the eczema was spreading all over my body and limbs. Before I had used one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, together with the Ointment, my sores were nearly healed over, and by the time I had used the third bottle I was entirely well. I had a good appetite and was fisherier than I ever was. To any one who has any skin or blood disease I would honestly advise them to get the Cuticura Remedies, and get well quicker than all the doctors in the State could cure you. Mrs. K. E.

Attention has been called to the investigation of Dr. G. S. Hall, President of Clark University, on the things that most arouse fear. Taking the subjects broadly, it appeared that out of 298 classes of objects dreaded by 1,707 individuals thunder and lightning were the ones creating the greatest alarm and anxiety. And yet, as pointed out by one of the electrical journals, a thunder-storm might compare with Mr. John Bright's express trains as the safest thing on earth to be in. Records have been carefully kept of accidents and deaths from lightning stroke or thunderbolt, and they are apparently on the decline, the period of 1890-93 showing only 193 deaths a year for the whole United States. On the other hand, 200 people are drowned in New York City every year, 150 are burned or scalded to death, and 500 die from falls of various kinds. It is the rarest thing in the world, literally, for any of Greater New York citizens to be killed by lightning, and yet when a thunderstorm invades this region most of the three million inhabitants are decidedly fearful and uncomfortable. The statistics show that, in respect of immunity from accident by lightning, hite modern city is infinitely safer than the open country.—Green's Fruit Grower. WHEN THE VALUE GROWS.

NEW IDEAS in TOILETTES 1 New York City.—The coat that suggests Empire lines is a very general and well deserved favorite, for while that style is not always desirable when pushed to an extreme, it makes exceedingly attractive outer garments and is highly to be commended. This, one shows certain modifications that render it adapted to modern needs and is suited to a ```markdown ``` great variety of materials. As illustrated it is made of black tafta, the yoke and cuffs being embroidered with black silk, while the little vest is of black and white material, but plain material can be used throughout, the yoke can be trimmed in any way that may be liked or it can be of heavy lace over silk while the skirt portion is of silk only, in fact THE LADY'S DRESS can be treated in any way that the individual may like. The ribbons that are threaded in and out of slashes, cut and finished for the purpose, make an exceedingly attractive feature but are not obligatory as any other form of closing that may be preferred can be employed without changing the essential characteristics of the coat. The coat is made with the yoke, the front edges of which are faced to give the vest effect, and with the fronts and backs of the full portions. The lower edge of the yoke is finished with a band of the material stitched with belding silk. The sleeves are of moderate size, closely shirred at the shoulders, and finished with roll-over cuffs that are by far the most becoming of any known. The quantity of material required for the medium size is eight yards twenty-seven, five and three-fourth yards forty-four or five and one-half yards fifty-two inches wide for full length; six and one-half yards twenty-seven, four and seven-eight yards forty-four or four and one-half yards fifty-two inches wide for three-quarter length with one-half yard any width for the vest, two yards of banding and three and one-half yards of ribbon to make as illustrated. Handsome Corset Cover. One corset cover in a very handsome trousseau has its entire front hand embroidered Pumps Not Popular. Pumps are not, however, so unre sorcedly popular as they were last season, women having found that they were not so comfortable for general wear as might be desired. Semi-Precious Stones. Coral has had a great vogue and all of the semi-precious stones, such as topaz, amethyst, etc., have been pressed into service and have been imitated with considerable success in buckles of good design though of cheap materials. Golden Chain Bracelet. The latest thing in jewelry is a golden chain bracelet, having an invisible continuous spring running through the centre, which can be worn either as a bracelet on the wrist, or higher up the arm, to keep the gloves in place. Autumn Colors. Autumn dresses will be built of very thin cloth and their colors will be the new greens, the new blues, the new reds and the new tans. They say that green, which has had such a phenomenal success, will be seen this fall in leaf green, gooseberry green and prairie green. It will also be noticed in emerald, grass, geranium and deep leaf green. While speaking of the new fall colors one must not forget the leather shades, which are always much liked. There is tan which is the most popular. shade of leather ever invented, and there is a pale suede leather. * Misses' Skirt. The skirt that is platted or tucked in yarlish ways is constantly growing in favor and may fairly be said to be the most fashionable at the present time. This one is designed for young girls and is treated after a quite novel manner while it can be worn either with or without the smoothly fitted girdle. In the illustration it is made of plaid mohair stitched with belting silk but is appropriate for all skirting materials, washable ones as well as those of cotton and silk, while it can be fin- 1 ished at the lower edge in a variety of ways. If the applied folds illustrated are not liked, banding of any sort can be substituted or the hem can be stitched with belting silk. The skirt is cut in seven gores and is laid in plaits at front, back and sides, these plaits forming groups that are turned toward the centres and being stitched flat for a portion of their length. The girdle is cut in four sections which allow of perfect fit. The quantity of material required for the sixteen year size is seven and 1 three-fourth yards twenty-seven, four and one-half yards forty-four or three and three-fourth yards fifty-two inches wide. three-fourth yards twenty-seven, four and one-half yards forty-four or three and three-fourth yards fifty-two inches wide. Verdict for Dr. Pierce AGAINST THE Ladies' Home Journal. Sending truth after a lie. It is an old maxim that "a lie will travel seven leagues while truth is getting its boots on," and no doubt hundreds of thousands of good people read the unwarranted and malicious attack upon Dr. R. V. Plerce and his "Favorite Prescription" "published in the May (1904) number of the Ladies' Home Journal, with its great black display headings, who never saw the humble, groveling retraction, with its incomspicuous heading, published two months later. It was boldly charged in the slanderous and libelous article that Dr. Plerce's Favorite Prescription, for the cure of woman's weaknesses and alliments, contained alcohol and other harmful ingredients. Dr. Plerce promptly brought suit against the publishers of the Ladies' Home Journal, for $300,000 damages. Dr. Pierce alleged that Mr. Bok, the editor, maliciously, published the article containing such false and defamatory matter with the intent of injuring his business furthermore, that no alcohol, or other injurious, or habit-forming, drugs are, or ever were, contained in his "Favorite prescription", that said medicine is made from native medicinal roots and contains no harmful ingredients whatever and that Mr. Bok's malicious statements were wholly and absolutely false. In the retraction printed by said journal they were forced to acknowledge that they had obtained analyses of "Favorite Prescription", from eminent chemists, all of whom certified that it did not contain alcohol or any of the alleged harmful drugs. These facts were also proven in the trial of the action in the Supreme Court. But the business of Dr. Pierce was greatly injured by the publication of the libelous article with its great display headlines, which severely defamatory article never saw the humble groueling retraction, set in small type and made as inconspicuous as possible. The matter was, however brought before a jury in the Supreme Court of New York, and the defendant in the Doctor's favor. Thus his traduces came to grief and their base sludgers were refuted. "Ono plant at least has been patented," said an inventor. "It is the Abrus precatorius, alias paternoster pea, alias weather plant. John Nowack took out the patent. "The weather plant is still believed by many persons to foretell the weather. John Nowack was sure it did so, and he put it on the market, along with an indicating apparatus, guaranteeing it to foretell, for forty-eight hours in advance and for fifty miles around, fog, rain, snow, half, earthquake and depressions likely to cause explosions of fire-damp. "Alas for poor Nowack! The experts of the Bureau of Agriculture took up his patented plant. They proved that the movements of the leaves—to the right foretelling rain, to the left foretelling drought—were not caused by the weather, but by the light. And they proved that the plant's famous downward movement, which was supposed to foretell earthquake, was caused by an insect that punctured the stem, causing the leaf to droop. "That is the only patented plant I know of, and Nowack lost money on it. "But how would you like to have, an exclusive patent, on the coffee tree or the tea plant?"—Milwaukee Journal. The difficult thing about being good is that you have to be bad to find out why you should be good. THE LITTLE LAWYER MAN. It was a little lawyer man Who softly blushed as he began Her poor, dead husband's will to scan. He smiled, while thinking of his fee. Then said to her, so tenderly, "You have a nice, fat legacy."

Proper food nourishes every part of the body, because Nature selects the different materials from the food we eat, to build bone, nerve, brain, muscle, teeth, etc. All we need is to eat the right kind of food slowly, chewing it well—our digestive organs take it up into the blood and the blood carries it all through the body, to every little nook and corner. If some one would ask you, "Is Grape-Nuts good for loose teeth?" you'd probably say, "No, I don't see how it could be." But a woman in not to write: "For the past two years I have used Grape-Nuts Food with most excellent results. It seems to take the place of medicine in many ways, builds up the nerves and restores the health generally. "A little Grape-Nuts taken before retiring soothes my nerves and gives sound sleep." (Because it relieves irritability of the stomach nerves, being a predigested food.) "Before I used Grape-Nuts my teeth were loose in the gums. They were so bad I was afraid they would some day all fail out. Since I have used Grape-Nuts I have not been bothered any more with loose teeth.

Do you believe that all the wonderful achievements of the nineteenth century—the railroad, the telegraph, the telephone, electric light, kerosene, sawing machine, agricultural machinery, steamships, trolley cars, etc. have made life easier and better worth living? I do. I believe that a man who lives forty years under modern conditions has experienced more life and better life than Methusalem, though he had lived twenty centuries of his time. The triumphs of the nineteenth century were triumphs of human service—the placing of knowledge and the fruits of knowledge within the reach of the common man. Every man's life is better, happier, more secure because of them. We live more comfortable, more sociable lives in better and more comfortable houses because of them. Even the hopeless dweller in the worst city slums is more comfortable in his physical conditions than the middle-class citizen of the days of George Washington. In little things as in great, comfort and convenience have been the legacy of the "Century of Improvement." Paint, in a certain sense, is a minor matter, yet it gives beauty, healthfulness and durability to our dwellings. Fifty years ago painting was a serious proposition, a luxury for the owners of stately mansions who could afford the expense of frequent renewals. To-day ready mixed paint is so cheap, so good and so universal that no house owner has an excuse for not keeping his property well painted. A small thing, indeed, yet several hundred large factories employing thousands of chemists and skilled workmen, are running every day in the year to keep our houses fresh, clean and wholesome. A small thing, yet a can of good ready mixed paint, such as one may buy from any reputable dealer, embodies the study of generations of skilled chemists, the toll of a thousand workmen in mill, laboratory and factory, and the product of a long series of special machinery invented and designed just to make that can of paint and to furnish us an infinite variety of tints, colors and shades. It was a wonderful century, that nineteenth of our era, and not the least of its wonderful gifts was that same commonplace can of paint. L. P.

Y.—Union services of the First Reformed, the Grace M. E. Church, the Memorial Presbyterian and the Sixth Avenue Baptist were held in the last-named church. Sunday morning the preacher was Bishop John J. Tigert, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, who was elected to the bishopric in May last, at which time he was the editor of the Southern Christian Advocate. The bishop is a vigorous and lively preacher of the old-time Methodist order. His subject was "The God of Grace," and he took for his text the passage, II Corinthians, iv:6: "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." He said: The great lesson that lies on the surface of this text is that the God of creation is also the God of grace and salvation. If you and I should think about it superficially we should be inclined to believe that the God who built the universe is a greater God than the One who saved the soul, but there would lie a radical mistake. Many a man of great wealth and resources has found it easier to build a palace than to frame the life of a son, and many a man so situated would give all he ever earned in order that he might have a boy after his own liking. The Czar found it easier to accumulate resources, including men and material, for the war against Japan than he is finding it to pacify the people of Russia today. The more we think about it the more we shall be compelled to believe that every problem involving the government of moral matters is more difficult than the fashioning of material things. For the element of freedom enters into the former proposal; and wherever we are dealing with those who are free we cannot count on the result as we can when dealing with forces that are fixed. The free and the fixed—these are two realms, but the God of the fired is also the God of the free; and the God of creation is also the God of revelation and grace and the salvation of the human soul: "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts to give the light of knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." Now there is certainly in this phrase as express reminiscence of the first chapter of Genesis: "God sald, Let there be light; and there was light." It is very easy for us to imagine the annihilation of the world. I can conceive the sun to be blotted out; the moon and the stars no longer to shine; the foundations of the earth removed. But after I shall have imagined this I shall find that there is a void, eternal, infinite, that by no effort of thought can I annihilate. It may be nothing, and yet I cannot conceive it as if it were nothing. If I think a little more closely about it I am obliged to conceive this void as absolutely dark. That is to say, light is a positive entity; darkness is nothing. The removal of the source of light brings darkness, and since in this darkness there is no source of light it must be altogether dark. Now, just as darkness is the absence of light, so cold is the complete absence of heat. Everything, even ice, possesses a little heat; we cannot imagine what infinite cold is. Yet this void, eternal, infinite, is at once completely cold. Again, silence is the absence of sound. Silence does not require any absolute cause; in order to create silence in this house I have but to cease talking. Once more: This void cold, silent, dark, is also dead. Did you ever think about it? Death is nothing. You will never meet death, for while you are death is not, and while death is you are not. And so you and death can never come face to face. What terror you have of the gave is born of a false imagination. The horrors that creep over us and constitute physical fear of death are the imposition of imagination because we conceive of ourselves as being sensitive; as feeling the cold, damp cold of the grave, overwhelmed by its darkness. But death is only absence of life. Fix these four conceptions upon your mind for the sake of the lesson to follow: Silence is the absence of sound; Darkness is the absence of light; Cold is the absence of heat; Death is the absence of life. Now, it was in these circumstances—this void, eternal, infinite, silent, cold, dead, that the voice of the Almighty was heard, breaking the silence of eternity, flinging the light out into this infinite and eternal void, and saying "Let there be light; and there was light." And Paul says that very God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, "hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of God in the face of Jesus Christ." I believe in depravity, in total depravity. That is to say, I believe the natural heart is totally dark and cold and silent and dead. That babe born into the world is a mere lump of flesh through which the blood is coursing: in which the sinews and bones and muscles are forming. It is the possibility of a man. It must be built up into a man. It must "attain unto the fullness of the stature of manhood in Christ Jesus." It requires God to handle the situation; to illuminate that natural darkness; to impart spiritual light and heat and life. It requires God to break the silence of nature. After all, this depravity arises from deprivation. It is not that there was any injection of a moral poison into the system by the hand of the Almighty. The human heart is not a foul pool sending up a stench. Depravity is pre-eminently a deprivation. It does not involve guilt. It involves a beginning. It is that it may be made a habitation of God through the Spirit of God. The God who commands the light, to shine out of darkness shines in those dark, sad, cold, dead hearts of ours, and shows to us the beauties of religion and exhibits His matchless grace in the gift of His Son, in order that we may see "the light of the knowledge of the true knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." Now there is a depravity that is not negative. It would be the greatest boon granted to many a man if past sin was easily shaken off; but there is not a single act of your life that has not left its deposit in your character. Although, on the authority of Huxley, the human body is completely renewed every twelve months, yet the old scars remain as a perpetual memorial. So, deep down in your moral nature, there is the record of your first lie, first impure thought and all that has blasted your life from then until now. It takes the power of God to break that bondage and it is only through Jesus Christ that you and, I can shake off the awful incubus of the past. There are vast differences in the forms and degrees of sin, and there are vast differences between becoming a Christian in early life, in advanced life and in old age. If you have not already become a Christian the practical thing is to begin now. There is no moment so absolutely sane and solid, so certain or altogether utilizable, as the present. There will never be another moment so golden as the moment you are allowing to slip away. The longer the devil has you in his grasp the more deadly the grip becomes and the severer will be the struggle required to secure your freedom in Christ Jesus. If I were an unsaved man, before all other duties I would assert the supreme duty of saving my soul. The supreme duty of life is to shake ourselves clear of the domination of sin by the help of Almighty God. You say everybody does not see it that way. It was so in the apostle's day, and here in the context it gives the reason, "If our gospel is hid it is hid in them that are lost." Do you call a blind man to give testimony of the beauties of an electrical display? The devil has constructed many kinds of veils to blind the eyes of men. These are the veils of selfishness, worldliness, pride of life, the lust of the flesh, avarice and many others, to pull over the human heart. My friends, there is no more fatal mistake than to belittle and underestimate the task of the religious life and what has to be done in order that a human soul may be recreated in the likeness of God. It is a task of infinite delicacy, requiring divine power and wisdom and one which, if accomplished, ends in glories as eternal as the throne of God. Thank God that if we get the victory the victory is one that shall become greater and greater, certain and more certain in the midst of all this conflict we wage in this world with the enemy of our souls. I was not brought up to believe in the doctrine of "final perseverance," but I honor the doctrine and those who believe in it, but since the day when I first experienced the joy of sins forgiven I have been a fairly good soldier of Jesus Christ, and sometimes, in my middle age I experience a joy so satisfying that I can scarcely contain myself. That joy seems to be grounded upon this hope: that I am going to win the last fight and obtain the final victory; that I am in an enemy's land and assaulted by a powerful foe who hates me with diabolical hatred and would ruin me when I am setting my feet on the footsteps of the throne; that, by God's grace, I am going to win and celebrate the victory within the gates and at the footstool of Him who sits upon the throne. God grant that against all our spiritual foes we may "fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on eternal life!" Sermons in Miniature. Weariness is the only condition on which God gives rest. Your-devotion to Christ may be known by your deeds for His people. The discussion of the creed does not require from its demonstration. not excuse from its demonstration. "Believing about the Holy Spirit will not take the place of receiving Him. It's hard seeing Christ in His church while your eyes are on the clock. If you wait on the Lord you will always keep ahead of the devil. When the troubled soul calls up heaven it never gets the "busy" signal. There is none of the music of heaven in a holy tone. The worldly Christian will never make the Christian world. The fiercest fighting may be but the polishing of the crowns. You cannot-prove your holiness by putting your head into heaven. There can be no social stability apart from Christ's great law of service. Work for God leads to knowing the will of God. An Unsafe Investment: It is not considered a good business transaction to invest all one's capital in a single venture. Yet so does every one who "layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." Two business men met. One said to the other: "Have you heard the sad news?" "No; what is it?" "Our neighbor, B——, is dead." "Ah! Is is so? How much did he leave?" "All." Practically that story is as old as the race. No one of us brought anything into the world, and it is certain that no one of us can take anything out. We all leave all earthly possessions. Not every rich man is rich toward God, else our Saviour would never have uttered the parable of the rich fool. We know what the man said to his soul, but it would be worth a good deal to know also what the soul would have said to the man.—Rev. G. B. F. Hallock, D. D. The Law That Gives Liberty. The one and only law of lito that sets a man free from all the forces that blight and destroy is the will of God. Show me a man who lives for one day wholly in word and thought and deed in the will of God and I will show you a man who is antedating heaven, and who for that day reaches the plane of life which is at once broadest, freest and gladdest.—Campbell Morgan. Many Like This Well. Some Christians are like the well of a man I know. The well is all right, with two exceptions. It freezes up in winter, and dries up in summer. --Moody. Makes the Load Lighter An ounce of grease is sometimes the only difference between profit and loss on a day's teaming. You know you can't afford a dry axle—do you know as well that Mica Axle Grease is the only lubricant you can afford? Mica Axle Grease is the most economical lubricant, because it alone possesses high lubricating property, great adhesive power, and long-wearing quality. Hence, the longest profitable use of your outfit is to be had only when the lubricant is Mica Axle Grease. Mica Axle Grease contains powdered mica. This forms a smooth hard surface on the axle, and reduces friction, while a specially prepared mineral grease forms an effective cushioning body between axle and box.

The following good points were once offered by a Grand Master upon the subject of ritualism: "Brotheren, the attainment of a high degree of ritualistic uniformity is indeed commendable. It is very necessary in its place. But, let us not lose sight of the fact that Masonry is broader and deeper than its ritual; that behind its beautiful symbolism lies its philosophy; that its ritual is but the outcropping, as it were, of a deep and hidden mine of rich, moral and spiritual wealth within, worthy of being diligently worked by every craftsman. "There is a beautiful and mysterious quality in Masonry, an external and an internal, a temporal part and an eternal principle, which connects it with that yet to come. "Our esoteric ritual might very appropriately be called the palladium of Missionry. It is the perpetuative medium of our order, and serves also as a means of recognition. "Our ritual has also a higher and a holier mission to perform. In the eternal wisdom of the Grand Geometrician of the Universe, it is also designed to unfold to us the sublimé philosophy of our ancient and mysterious institution. By the aid of revealed truth, it enables us to explore the wonderful areana of God's gracious gifts to fallen man, and helps to illumine the pathway leading to the temple of holiness and happiness." United Supreme Council. The United Supreme Council, 33d degree, of A. A. S. Rite of Freemasonry, for the Southern Jurisdiction, will assemble in its nineteenth annual session in Macon on Monday next.

Cannon, a Negro Minister, Who Defends. the Pulpits and Points Out the Criminal Element. Editor Morning News: Being a colored minister and having both the interest of my people and the good of the community at heart, I wish to submit a word of comment upon an article appearing in today's issue from the pen of Col. George A. Mercer. I was indeed glad to see the spirit of equity and fairness exhibited by that eminent gentleman, for it is only when white men of his calibre and kind on the one side and the conscientious, law-loving Negro on the other speak out in no uncertain terms for peace and good will among us, that our present strained relations will be relieved. It is due to the prevalence of such sentiments as he expresses that the races in our city are having no clashes nor exhibiting any greatly estranged feeling toward each other. And it is also due to the strict and constant teachings that come from the Negro pulpit and school room that no such crimes as are said to have caused the recent clash in and about Atlanta are ever perpetrated here. I thank God for such sentiments as are found in Colonel Mercer's communication, as well as for your broad and humane editorial, which inspired him to write it. But as conscientious and as fair-minded as a man may be, there comes times when he cannot see the real situation nor the forces that brought it about; and because of this very lack of insight he may not get to the real cause nor remedy of an existing condition. I notice that Colonel Mercer, in discussing your editorial, has followed the course pursued, of late, by nearly every editor and orator of the white race, in the entire South. He attempts to hold the Negro minister responsible for whatever wrongs any member of the Negro race commits. In behalf of the Negro ministers of the entire Southland, I beg to enter a plea of not guilty and humbly beseech the colonel to withdraw his charge until he has attended at least one service in every Negro church in Savannah. I do not think that we, the Negro preachers, should any more be held responsible for all the rapes and thefts of our race than the white ministers should be held accountable for crimes committed by members of the white race, for it is a fact, that there has never been committed, by any race in this country, a crime that has not had its correlate committed by some member of the other race. It is strange to me that editors and politicians of the white race, who do not enter a Negro church and have never heard a Negro preacher, deliver a sermon can so effectively point out the defects and dangers that characterize the weekly utterances of the Negro preachers. I must confess that I do not know the cause that has brought about such racial antipathy as is manifesting itself throughout our state today, but I do know that it is not due to any neglect on the part of the colored ministers to do their duty as the Holy Ghost has made it plain to them. There is no class of men on earth more desirous of peace and harmony between the races than are the colored ministers, for they know that whatever unsettles and scatters their people cannot but prove fatal to the work they are trying to do. This expresses the sentiment of the leading colored ministers everywhere. It must not be forgotten that there are two classes of Negroes, as there are two classes of white people. There is one class of Negroes who attend school, pay their taxes, work and try to own decent homes, are law-abiding and are to ne found every Sunday in some one of the various churches of the various denominations represented among them. That is the class that Col. Mercer calls "orderly and patient." Then there is another class which has never attended school, does not know where the churches are, but which spends its Sundays in the dives, barrooms and gambling dens, which the city authorities have failed to close in defiance of an outraged public sentiment. This barroom class furnishes our percentage of the state's many criminals. Savannah and Georgia ought not to license the barrooms to sell this cheap and deadening liquor which make any man who drinks it a brute and then come behind their own acts and hold the Negro preachers responsible for the results. The Negro rapist and petty thief do not attend our churches, or schools. Some have sald, and Col. Mercer seems to harbor the same sentiment, that education has made the Negro more criminal. I challenge any man, I call upon any statistician or sociologist to show me a single instance where any Negro college graduate in Georgia has gone to the chalk gang or even has been convicted of a felony. I do not mean that no Negro who could read and write a little has been convicted of course; but I do mean that no graduate of a first-class Negro college, having taken the entire course leading to the degree of bachelor of arts, has gone to the chalk gang. The persons among us who come under the immediate influence of the Negro preacher and teacher generally make good citizens. I thank Col. Mercer for his words of advice concerning the white boys who make it wholly unfair for any colored person to attempt to cross the park. I believe his words will have the desired effect. I know it will make the colored people more "patient" and hopeful. When the white boys hear the judge on the bench say that this is a white man's country and are thereby impressed that they have the right to rule and ruin everything that is not white, then you may not expect anything from them but lawlessness and disorder. But when they are impressed that even white boys must do right, then things will work harmoniously. Yours for peace among the races, D. W. CANNON, Pastor Path-Eden Colored Baptist Church. FORAKER ON THE MASSACRE. Not One Killed or Wounded Gully of Rape—Massacre a Precursor of Officers Like It—Nation Indifferent to Class Which Has Never Produced a Traitor. (From the "Talk of the Town" in Chicago Enquirer, Sept. 27, 1906.) "The situation at Atlanta is too shocking, too uncivilized, barbaric and un-American to be discussed calmly and dispassionately," said Senator Foraker yesterday. "Others may say what they like in explanation, but I think one of the largest factors in bringing about this deplorable situation was the character of campaign recently made by Mike Smith for his nomination for governor, and the advertisement in one of the leading newspapers of Atlanta offering a thousand dollars reward for the lynching of a Negro under circumstances similar to those under which a Negro had been lynched a few weeks ago in South Carolina. I hope somebody will call on that newspaper (the Atlanta News) to pay this $1,000 reward for each of the murders it has helped to incite. That would at least have a tendency to make it appreciate what a serious outrage it has committed against society. Not Single Man Killed or Wounded Was Gunny of Alleged Crimes "It may be, as Southern men say, that we are unable to understand that Negro race. I can understand that they have conditions with which we are not familiar and with which we do not know exactly how the authori- tories should deal, but all civilized human- ity everywhere. will cry out against such indiscriminate murder of innocent men as has taken place in Atlanta. Lynch law and mob rule are to be denounced, even where the vi- tims are guilty ones, much more where, as in this case, not one of the 30 or perhaps 50 men who have been murdered, and the 200 or 300 who have been wounded, had any connection whatever with the assaults that it is claimed were made by colored men. Great Interest In Keeping Order In Cuba and None Against Massacre In Georgia "Thore seems to be great concern about the outbreak of an insurrection in Cuba by a lot of irresponsible and lawless bands consisting largely of Negroes and half-breeds 'taking to the bush,' to use the vernacular of the island, and warships and marines and troops by the thousands are being mobilized for the maintenance of law and order there. I think what has happened in Atlanta, and what is likely to follow, for I regard that as only the precursor of other things of like nature, are far more serious, so far as we are concerned, than anything that has happened or is likely to happen in Cuba; and yet there does not seem to be anybody, outside the municipal and state authorities of Georgia, very deeply concerned, although American citizens by the scores have been murdered and by the hundreds have been wounded and hounded. What Preston From National Gov What Protection From National Government Have Loyal Colorec Citizens? "No. I decline to be interviewed for fear I may say something that somebody may take exceptions to, and I should regret that, but I would like to know from somebody who has authority to speak, what protection a citizen of the United States has at the hands of the United States government here at home under the flag, which he has always been loyal, and under the law, as against which he has never been guilty of any violation whatever?" A Son of Georgia Gives His Opinion. I regard that The Atlanta News, more than any other one indirect influence, was responsible for your recent race riots. Its position doubtless caused it to feel the need of an issue with which to claim public favor and notice, but intemperate public discussion of this delicate question is a dangerous thing. Politics, selfishness and personal ambition get a people into lots of trouble. We less need leaders than we do tribunes of the best thought of the large thoughtful class of patriotic citizens to be found in every county and state. A SON OF GEORGIA. Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 27. STATESBORO DOTS. The Pilgrim Baptist Association that was held at Harmonia Baptist Church was largely attended and some noble sermons were delivered by Rev. Cowltry and Rev. W. J. Lundy of Eden. All the churches of the Association sent a good collection for the Guyton High School and for the reformatory at Macon for our boys and girls. Rev. J. S. Stripling filled his appointment at Brown's Chapel and had a good crowd and preached a good sermon. A large crowd from Statesboro attended the Association on last Sunday and reported a good time. Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Pope spent the day at Rev. and Mrs. W. Hodges' on last Sunday. Mrs Lizzie Miller is still feeble, but we hope she will soon be up again. Mr. J. E. Miller makes and cleans clothes. So give him a trial. Satisfaction guaranteed or no pay. The people in this section will soon be through gathering and ready to start another crop. The largest number of people that was ever in Statesboro was on the day of John Roberson's show. There were at least ten thousand there that day. Just a little more than a month off from the State Fair. So let everybody prepare something to put on exhibit to make it a more success. Mr. J. B.

JOHNSON, Savannah, Ga. though some of us have tried to stick together, some of our boys and girls are determined to pull us apart. I think it is useless for our people to open any place of any kind of amusement for our children to participate. Something happened at our skating rink last week that we can't help but regret. Some of our boys and girls were engaged in a free-for-all quarrel, which, of course, resulted in a law suit. This is where the most shameful part comes in. One of our girls used a knife on another. This doesn't satisfy her, she even used profane language on the streets, and had to be carried in by an officer of the law. And, of course, the innocent parties may have to suffer for her wrong doings. I think it is a shame that some of our people can't pull together. Can't we make anything of ourselves? And to think of our school girls engaging in a difficulty on the streets. But, of course, we will never expect any more from such characters. Thanks to the editor. JAMES B. BATTEY, JR., Y. M. S. C.
