The Savannah Tribune. VOL. XXII. DECLARED FRAUDS Men Who Made Peonage Charges are so Styled. Made by Southern States Immigration Commission President is Asked to Stop Underhanded War on Dixie Industries. The Southern States Immigration commission, located in New York, of which David Robinson is the head, which is doing such a splendid work of securing desirable immigrants for the south, has appealed to President Roosevelt to direct the department of justice to make investigations in New York, which Mr. Robinson declares will completely refute the charges against the R. D. Cole company of Newnan, on which indictments for poonage were found by the federal grand jury for the northern district of Georgia as the result of the efforts of the Assistant Attorney General Charles W. Russell, who has been in Georgia for the past two weeks as the special representative of the department in connection with this matter. According to information furnished the Atlanta Constitution Sunday night by Mr. Robinson, the commission will be able to show that those persons making the charges of peonage absolutely misrepresented themselves in order to get free transportation to the south. Georgia being one of the states for which the commission is working, Mr. Robinson is the direct representative of the state and is engaged in securing for Georgia industries just the kind of immigrants that are badly needed to keep up the great progress which is now being made. The whole purpose of the commission is to induce desirable immigrants to come to the south, and the present furor over alleged cases of peonage is naturally greatly interfering with its work—and at the same time very pleasantly playing into the hands of those interests which are opposed to immigration to the south. The railroads which get the haul when laborers and homestakers are carried to the west are the chief beneficiaries every time such charges are made against the south, and many stories detrimental to this section which have been told abroad have been ascribed to their agents. Mr. Robinson declares that the present situation demands absolute fairness in the interest of southern industries. Mr. Robinson's telegram to the Constitution was as follows: "New York, November 4, 1906.—The Southern States Immigration Commission, located in New York, appealed to President Roosevelt tonight to direct the department of justice to make investigations here which will refute the peonage charges against the R. D. Cole company of Newnan. We will show that the men making complaint absolutely misrepresented themselves to get free transportation south. Our work is inducing desirable immigration and therefore demands fairness in behalf of southern industries. Five Scotch farming families arrive here Thursday, going to Georgia, and more following. "DAVID ROBINSON." PRESIDENT GOT HIS TURKEY. Hunted for Three Days and Finally Landed a Lone Gobbler. President and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived in Washington-Sunday night from Pine Knot, Virginia, where they went for an outing. The president spent his entire time at Pine Knot in hunting wild turkeys. He had never shot one, although he often hunted them. It was not until late Saturday afternoon, however, that the president accomplished his desire. He shot a wild turkey, the only one shot during three days of hunting. Men Indicted by Federal Grand Jury Put Up $2,000 Cash. F. B. Cole of the N. D. Cole company of Newnan, Ga., and H. L. Ziegler of the T. C. Thompson & Brothers Construction company, both of whom are under indictment in the United States court for peonage, voluntarily went to Atlanta and gave bond in the sum of $2,000 each, two true bills having been returned against each of them. It is not probable that these cases will be brought to trial until the March term of the court in Atlanta. SHIPLOAD OF IMMIGRANTS From Bromen Arrives at Charleston on Steamer Wittekind—Is First of a Newly Inaugurated Move. The North German Lloyd Steamship Wittkelen arrived at Charleston, S. G. Sunday from Bremen, Germany, with 420 immigrants and a large cargo of fertilizer materials. The steamer sailed October 19. Commissioner of Immigration for South Carolina E. J. Watson was on board. The immigrants were about half Belgians and the remainder represented Germany, Switzerland, Austria and other sections of Europe. United States Commissioner Sargent and Commissioner of Labor Neill, with the aid of a half dozen interpreters and other officials, including the quarantine officer, went through the list and nearly all of the immigrants passed successfully. A few were detained for further investigation. The new immigrants are largely made up of mill operatives and have already gone to the upper part of the state to find positions in the numerous cotton mills. The second load of immigrants will leave Bremen for Charleston, December 28. The scarcity of labor in the Carolinas and throughout the southeast resulted in the gathering together of a number of the large employers and mill men of the Palmetto State a short time ago. It was at this gathering that ways and means were discussed for the bringing of a better class of foreign laborers direct to some southern port. It was finally decided that the best and most practical way was to bring these from the old world direct to a southern port, and Charleston was the city decided upon. Commissioner of Immigration E. J. Watson of South Carolina was placed in charge of the work and the co-operation of M. V. Richards, chief of the land and industrial department of Washington, was asked. Mr. Richards immediately responded, and together with Mr. Watson, these gentlemen went to work along practical lines. Most of the immigrants arriving on the Witttekind will be employed in the cotton mills of the Carolinas. The greatest care has been taken in the selection of these immigrants to secure the very best of workers who will prove industrious and also good citizens. If the experiment proves practical, and it is believed that it will by those in the best position to know, this same plan will be carried out on a much larger scale, and the purpose is to establish a service which will bring in two of the big steamers loaded with homesekers to Charleston every month. Railroads are also anxious to secure labor for the making of many improvements in the south. While much work is now going on in the south, the reads have been greatly delayed in their efforts on account of the scarcity of labor throughout this section. SUPREME TREASURER MISSING. Likewise Danish Brotherhood is Out to Amount of $50,000. Christian Eskilson, of Chicago, thrice supreme treasurer of the Danish brotherhood of America, is missing and simultaneously it is found that from $40,000 to $50,000 of the order's funds is gone. Officials of the order made an examination of Eskilson's account, which reveals, they say, the immense shortage. They declare that practically all of the reserve fund is gone. Seven thousand dollars of it is said to have been lost in the failure of Paul O. Stensland bank. FOR MORAL EFFECT ON CUBANS American Troops Will Make Practice Marches Throughout island. It is the intention of the provisional government of Cuba to have the American troops in Havana make extensive practice marches throughout the island. This should not be interpreted as a threatening demonstration; the step is taken for its moral effect on the restoration of confidence. Man Who Took Part In Atlanta Trouble is Found Gullity. I. H. Carr, charged with rioting on the night of September 22, was convicted in the Atlanta criminal court Monday morning, Judge Calhoun presiding. Sentence was deferred. Carr was indicted along with a number of other men who were charged with participating in the disturbances in which a number of negroes were killed. His case, however, was tried separately and the others will be taken up later. SAVANNAH. GA. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 10. 1906. BATTLE OF BALLOTS Waged in Forty-two States of the Union Tuesday. NEW YORK STORM CENTER Hughes, Republican, Claims Victory by Narrow Margin Over Hearat, Democrat, for Governor—Summary of Results Elsewhere. Elections were held Tuesday in forty-two states. Throughout the south the democratic state and congressional tickets have been elected by the usual majorities. In the west and east the states that were aligned two years ago in the democratic or republican columns, show no material change, the democrats making gains in some instances, and the republicans in others. The republicans retain control of congress by a good majority. Perhaps the widest general interest in the elections centered in the remarkable fight for governor which has been waged in New York state between Charles E. Hughes, the republican candidate, who, throughout the campaign, has had the support of President Roosevelt, and William Randolph Hearst, who has been running as the regular democratic and independence league nominee. The latest returns available show that Hughes, while losing nearly all of the principal cities of the state, was successful by about 50,000 plurality. The rural districts brought about the republican victory. In New York city the Tammany-Independence League judiciary ticket were successful, with possibly one exception, over the candidates named by the non-partisan "judiciary nominators." Massachusetts has re-elected Curtis Guild, republican, as governor, over District Attorney John B. Moran of Boston, who was the candidate of the democratic party, the independence league and the prohibitionists. In Chicago it is estimated that the independence league ticket polled 40,000, but there was a republican plurality for the state officers. Pennsylvania has elected Stuart, republican governor over a fusion opposition by the usual republican plurality. Michigan, Iowa, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Connecticut, Minnesota, Indiana and Wisconsin have rolled up republican pluralities, although there was some falling off from the usual vote in Iowa. Nebraska shows big republican gains. Ohio also shows republican gains over the Pattison vote of last year The republicans expect a plurality of 75,000 in the state. The constitution of the new state of Oklahoma will be written by democrats. The Indians voted the democratic ticket almost solidly. Oklahoma also went strongly democratic in choosing delegates to the constitutional convention. New Mexico and Arizona have voted favorably on the proposition to enter the union jointly as a single state. Governor Hoch is re-elected in Kansas by a slightly reduced majority. The result in Missouri is in doubt. The republicans carried Utah, Wyoming and Washington, and seem to have lost Nevada, while both parties are claiming Colorado. Montana seems to have been carried by the republicans, and Texas takes its usual place in the democratic column Congressman Babcock of Wisconsin, formerly chairman of the republican congressional committee, failed of election. In Rhode Island, James H. Higgins, democrat, was elected governor. Jacksonville Carnival Opens. The Jacksonville, Fla., carnival opened Monday night with an attendance of 10,000. It was the largest event of its kind in Florida's history. The governor and the militia figured in the opening exercises. HUGHES TALKS OF THE RESULT. Refused to Commit Himself on What Seemed an Uncertainty. When seen at, his home in New York Tuesday night, Mr. Hughes said: "I am very much gratified, if elected, as now seems to be the case, but I shall not speak in detail upon matters about which may be an uncertainty. I understand, however, that my election is pretty well assured, but whatever my plurality may be, my feeling is not one of elation, but one of responsibility. That is all that I care to say at present." HITCHCOCK IS TO RETIRE From Post of Secretary of Interior and Will Be Succeeded by Commissioner Garfield. Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock will retire from President Roosevelt's cabinet on the 4th of next March, and James R. Garfield of Ohio, at present commissioner of corporations, will succeed him. Herbert Knox Smith, now assistant commissioner of corporations, will be appointed to Mr. Garfield's place. These changes and that of the retirement of Commissioner Richarda, of the general land office, on March 4, were announced in the following statement from the white house Wednesday: The secretary of the interior, Mr. Hitchcock, had informed the president that he would be unable to stay after March 4. Mr. Hitchcock has for some time felt that the very exhausting work he has been engaged in for over eight years in the interior department was wearing on him so as to make it impossible for him much longer to remain. At the president's earnest request he consented to accept the re-appointment on March 4, 1905, at the time of the president's inauguration. But he then stated that he could not say how long he could stay, and he feels now he must insist on being relieved after March 4. The president urged him to accept the ambassadorship to France, but Mr. Hitchcock feels that he is entitled to absolute rest and must refuse the offer. RAILROAD ADVANCES WAGES. Pennsylvania System Will Pay Twelve Millions. More. to Employees At a meeting of the board of directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad company held in Philadelphia Wednesday, an increase of 10 per cent in the wages of all permanent employees of the company now receiving less than $200 a month was ordered. The increase will take effect on December 1, 1906, and will apply to all lines of the Pennsylvania system, both east and west of Pittsburg. The official announcement of the increase says: The board takes this action by reason of the increased cost of living and the present general prosperity of the country, in which the Pennsylvania railroad shares, and which has made it possible for the company to make an increased distribution to its shareholders. "On the Pennsylvania lines, east and west of Pittsburg, a total of 192,458 men are employed. Of these, on the lines east, the wages of 123,440 men will be affected, the total increase amounting to $702,952 per month. "The present readjustment affects all the employees of the lines east of Pittsburg, with the exception of about 5,000, many of whom are not permanent employees. "The action by the board of directors will be followed by similar action on the part of the boards of companies operating Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, the increase in that territory to apply to more than 60,000 employees, and involving an increased pay roll of between $3,500,000 and $4,000,000. "The increase of wages now ordered applies to a total of about 185,000 men and involves an increased annual outlay of about $12,000,000." MOODY FOR SUPREME BENCH. President Announces Appointment of Attorney General to New Post. The president Wednesday announced the appointment of Attorney General William Henry Moody of Massachusetts as justice of the supreme court of the United States to succeed Justice Henry B. Brown, who retired some time ago. Mr. Moody has filled the office of attorney general since July 1, 1904. Previous to that time he had served for more than two years as secretary of the navy. He had also represented his state in the fifty-fourth, fifty-fifth, fifty-sixth and fifty-seventh congresses. It is generally expected that Mr. Moody will retire from the department of justice the latter part of December. WAS A PRIVATE QUARREL Louisiana Congressman-Elect Kills His - Lifelong Friend. Democratic Congressman - elect Judge George K. Favrot of Baton Rouge, La., without warning shot and instantly killed his life-long associate and former school mate, Dr. H. H. Aldrich, one of the best known citrens of Baton Rouge. Though hundreds of persons were near the scene of the shooting, none knew what passed between the two men. Judge Favrot refused to talk, beyond letting it be known that the matter was a private quarrel. NEGRO BATTALION Is Disgraced and Dismissed by President Roosevelt. HELD BACK INFORMATION President Recently Demanded That They Disclose Identity of Murderers-Aftermath of Brownville, Texas, Affair. Unprecedented in the history of the army of the United States is the action of the president, just announced, in dismissing in disgrace from the army an entire battalion of negro troops because of their failure to disclose the identity of some of their number who had been guilty of violence and murder. As an evidence, however, of his intention to be fair to the negro troops, the president has accompanied this action by an order which may amount to the court-martial of a white army officer of high grade, who was charged with having cast slurs upon the negro troops. The story of both actions is told in the following official correspondence, made public at Washington Tuesday by the military secretary: "The report of an investigation made by Brigadier General E. A. Garlington, inspector general, of the army, relative to the riotous disturbance that occurred at Brownsville, Texas, on the night of August 18, 1906, and that resulted in the death of one, and the wounding of another citizen of that city, has been considered and acted upon by the president. Following are his instructions with regard to the matter: "White House, November 6, 1906.—The Secretary of War: I have read through General Garlington's report, dated October 22, submitted to me by you. I direct that the recommendation of General Garlington be compiled with, at the same time the concluding portion of his report be published with our sanction as giving the reason for the action "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." Following is the concluding portion of General Garlington's report, which embraces the recommendations that, by direction of the president, will be carried into effect immediately by the war department: "I recommend that orders be issued as soon as practicable discharging without honor every man in companies B, C and D, of the twenty-fifth infantry, serving at Fort Brown, Texas, on the night of August 13, 1906, and forever debarring them from reenlisting in the army or from employment in any civil capacity, under the government. In making this recommendation I recognize the fact that a number of men who have no direct knowledge as to the identity of the men of the twenty-fifth infantry who actually fired the shots on the night of the 13th of August, 1906, will endure this extreme penalty. "It has been established by careful investigation, beyond reasonable doubt, that the firing into the houses of the citizens of Brownsville, while the inhabitants thereof were pursuing their peaceful vocations, or sleeping, and by which one citizen was killed and the chief of police so seriously wounded that he lost an arm, was done by onlisted men of the twenty-fifth infantry, belonging to the battalion stationed at Fort Brown. "After due opportunity and notice the enlisted men of the twenty-fifth infantry have failed to tell what it is reasonable to believe they know concerning the shooting. If they had done so; if they had been willing to relate all the circumstances, instances preliminary to the trouble, it is extremely probable that a clew sufficiently definite to lead to results would have been disclosed. They appear to stand together in a determination to resist the detection of the guilty, therefore they should stand together when the penalty falls." TORREY QUIT IN DISGUST. Migratory Evangelist Calls Off a Meeting In Nashville. "I have never seen such stubborn rebellion against God as I have witnessed here tonight. The meeting is dismissed, and you can go to your homes." Thus spoke Dr. Torroy in Nashville, Teen., to a crowd of people who had heard his sermon on "Hell," and when he called for converts only one stood up. He had announced several special features for the after-service, including a song by Mr. Butler, but he called it all off, and left the building. NO.6. RAWLINGS LOSES OUT Before Supreme Court of the United States-Only Hope is Now With Georgia Prison Commission. The supreme court of the United States has declined to interfere with the judgment of the Georgia state courts in the case of J. G. Rawlings of Lowndes county, sentenced to death for the murder of the Carter children and the question of the infliction of the death penalty now reacts wholly with Lowndes county superior court. There is no law, or precedent for that matter, to prevent the execution of Rawlings at once by order of the Lowndes superior court, should the court see fit to pass that order. This has already been decided by the state supreme court. It is now with the Lowndes county superior court to say on what day old man Rawlings shall be hanged. There is no necessity even to await the arrival of the mandate of the United States supreme court, Attorney General Hart says. The Washington tribunal has, however, ordered that mandate immediately transmitted. Old man Rawlings' fate having been finally determined by this decision of the United States supreme court, nothing further stands in the way of the prison commission considering the applications of his sons, Milton and Jesse, also sentenced to be hanged for the same crime, for executive clemency. It is asked for the boys that their sentences be commuted to life imprisonment, and the prison commission will take up their cases for consideration and action at its next meeting. Following is the dispatch from Washington announcing the court's decision in the Rawlings case: "The supreme court of the United States today affirmed the decision of the Georgia supreme court in the case of John G. Rawlings, under conviction in Lowndes county, of that state, on the charge of murder, the effect of the decision, being to compel the execution of Rawlings, unless his lawyers succeed in finding other means of securing, a stay of proceedings. Rawlings who is a white man, and a preacher, was charged with employing negroes to murder a family of neighbors. Two children were decoyed out of the house and shot, but the other members of the family saved their lives by remaining within the shelter of their home." RACE ROW IN MISSISSIPPI. Negroes Fire on White Mob Which Was Storming Jail. Two men were fatally wounded, and over 500 shots were fired in a race riot at Wiggins, Miss., Sunday afternoon and night. William Smith, a negro, resisted arrest, and fired on Marshal Quarrels and Deputy Marshal Mitchell, the latter receiving a fatal wound in the head. Smith escaped to his home, barricaded the doors and windows, and defied capture until a mob threatened to burn the house. After surredering he was locked in the village jail. Late-Sunday night a mob dynamited the fall, fired several volleys in his cell, and left him for dead. While the mob was storming the jail, a large crowd of negroes came upon the scene and began firing into the ranks of the besiegers. Over 500 shots were exchanged, and D. M. Clarke, a white man, was fatally injured. Several negroes are supposed to have been shot, but so far the total number of casualties has not been learned. Monday morning Smith was found alive in the cell, but his arms had to be amputated. Armed whites patrolled the town during the day, and no further trouble occurred. An Alabama Bank Checked Shy the Sum of $22,115. A special from Montgomery says: Cashier H. C. Dubose of the Monroe bank, at Monroeville, Ala., has been checked short $22,115, and the same reported to State Bank Examiner Rutledge. The bank is perfectly safe, as the surplus and profits make depositors whole. D. D. Mims has been appointed cashier. PROFESSORS HAVE A "SNAP." They Outnumber Students In This Highly Endowed College.

IT WILL PAY YOU TO Advertise in This Paper! The Nervous Child. By Helen Watts McVey. NE can but pity the child born with a nervous temperament, much as such a temperament is to be desired, if the parents do not know how to bring out the best that is in him. The future of no child is more absolutely in the keeping of its parents than is that of a "nervous" child, and his well-being and usefulness to the world is made or marred by the training he receives. Such a child is usually hard to understand by the average parent, and NE can but pity the child born with a nervous temperament, much as such a temperament is to be desired, if the parents do not know how to bring out the best that is in him. The future of no child is more absolutely in the keeping of its parents than is that of a "nervous" child, and his well-being and usefulness to the world is made or marred by the training he receives. Such a child is usually hard to understand by the average parent, and by Injudicious treatment he may grow up a physical and moral wreck, even though the mentality may not be dwarfed or warped. Such a warped disposition will cause him to be a very Ishmael among his kind, at odds with everything he meets, while the proper treatment will give to the world a most lovable man or woman, affectionate, gentle, sensitive, sympathetic and intelligent. The nervous child is often of a very strong character, wilful and seemingly headstrong, because his brain power gives him a feeling of self-reliance, and he is generally difficult to manage, especially if the parents be impatient and unreasonable in their demands. Scolding only adds to the nervous tension, fault-finding irritates and discourages, and severer punishment, such as whippings and shutting in a dark room, are cruel in the extreme. Corporal punishment should never be resorted to in the case of such a child, as he is usually amenable to reason and tractable to kindness. Being above the average as to intelligence, he should at all times be treated as an intelligent being. A nervous child must be guided; he can seldom be driven. Loud, harsh commands are as bad as blows, and unreasoning opposition only serves to make him more obstinate in his ways. Such a child is usually of strong likes and dislikes, and an act of injustice is not often forgotten or easily forgiven, and harshness or forceful demands only serve to drive him from the companionship of those who so use him. Let the parent of such a child learn first to govern himself or herself before undertaking to enforce obedience from the little soul who is often wiser than is the parent to whom it is trusted.—The Commoner.

The young one was always called Mabel, and nobody in the neighborhood ever thought of the call of the wife of Josiah Perkins anything but Aunt Hitty. Mabel lived on the farm next Uncle Josiah, and not many days passed that her small feet did not trip through the lane to see if Aunt Hitty didn't have a bit of sewing to do, a ribbon to fix, or some little trifle, such as nice girls are fond of doing for their elderly aunts, especially in these modern days when the young folks are really the chaperons, and tell their elders just what to do. It happened that soft September morning that Mabel found her aunt standing in the door of the sweet, clean springhouse with a very sober face, and the butter paddle held idly in her plump hand, the fresh golden butter waiting in the wooden bowl on the cedar table close by. That wasn't Aunt Hitty's way of working, so Mabel quickly asked: "Aunty, what's the matter? Something, I know, you look so sad." "Only a little disappointment, child, that's all," and the sweet old face lit now with a smile, "Uncle Josiah says I can't send my jellies to the Fair, and I did want to, so bad." Mabel opened her brown eyes wide in surprise and cried out: "Oh, Aunt Hitty! All those lovely jellies! That beautiful crab apple, and the green grape, and the red currant, and the blue plum, and all the rest! Oh, my! what is Uncle thinking about! You made them on purpose, and I know you would take a lot of blue ribbons! Why won't he let you send them?" "He says he's got to go see after a calf he wants to buy, and hasn't got time to run up to enter them. Says there ain't any money in such fool-huss anyhow." "There isn't? Well, I take notice he's mighty ready to eat his share of the jellies on the table. It's too bad! I'm real mad at Uncle! I mean to tell him so, too." "No, don't, dear, it would only get you a scolding. Josiah means well, but he don't think a woman's work amount: to much. I'll just have to let the premiums go—maybe I wouldn't take any, if I sent the jelly. Did you come over to help me with my dressing sacque, child?" "Yes, I did, Aunty. If it's ready I can put the sleeves in for you." "All right, I'll be glad of your help. Mabel, who's that stopping at the gate? Somebody in a buggy." "Mabel glanced, and a half blush me over her soft cheek. "It's only Ben Allen, Aunty, I expect he wants to see me for something. I'll just run down to the gate a minute." "Where are you bound for this morning?" she asked as she turned back to the house. "Weil, I had some notion of going into town to-day," answered he, "I want to look after a new set of hairs, and I'm not specially busy this time." "Ch, Hen, I wonder if you would like to something for—for me and Aunt Hitty?" she said. "Up in town? Yes, if I go, certainly I would. What is it girl?" Mabel told him about Aunt Hitty's diaportment, and added: "I feel so sorry for her, and I just ordered if you would be willing to take the box out to the Fair Groves and enter the jellies in her name." "Wha? indeed I will, with the greatest pleasure. Aunt Hitty is the one best woman in the world, and if I can do anything to help her, you just count on me, Mabel. I'll go up to the city, sure thing, and if she don't get several blue ribbons it won't be our fault! Has she got the things ready?" "I think so—she wanted Uncle to take them and he wouldn't, for fear he might miss a calf sale he's after." "Old Tightwad! Beg pardon, Mabel, I know he's your uncle, but I do get so mad at him because he does so little for Aunt Hitty. If she belonged to me, you bet I'd see that she had more comfort than she gets." He gave Mabel : look which made her cheeks pink again, but to cover her confusion she said: "I'll run see if she's got them ready," and flew up the path like a young deer. Mabel stayed all day with Aunt Hitty. Ben stopped as he drove home in the afternoon, and told them that the jellies were entered all right, and so far as he saw, there wouldn't be any there to beat them. "Are the folks going in to the Fair?" he asked, and Mabel answered: "Yes, Uncle always goes on Thursday, and takes Aunt Hitty." "All right then. I thought if he wasn't going, we would just take her with us—I knew you wouldn't mind!" "Of course I would not! It's good in you to think of it, Ben—some young fellows wouldn't care to be bothered with an elderly lady. But they will go. I hope she will get ever so many premiums, just to show Uncle siah he don't know everything." "a d: I good-bye, child. Early Thursday morning I'll be over for you." Ben drove home, and Mabel stood at the gate, looking after him for a moment. "He is good!" she said, softly, "I don't believe I could ever find any- bly any better." And then she went t- house with a thoughtful face, and a light in her brown eyes that woul- l have done Mr. Ben goo to see. It was early in the afternoon when they drove into the beautiful Fair Grounds. They strolled through the neat, cleanly kept horse bar s, and visited the fat cattle and sheep before they went to the snow white poultry house where they wert to meet Aunt Hilty and Uncle Josiah, and have dinner from the generous basket Aunt Hilty brought along. They waited through the wide alesls to see the fine coops of prize poultry, and came out at the end where unt Hitty was already waiting for them with a smile on her cozy face. "Been over to see what I've got?" was her greeting. "Not yet," said Mabel, "we have been so busy looking at everything tun. we have not been in that building. Did you have good luck Minty?" "Oh, didn't I?" she replied, her kind eyes beaming with pleasure. "Why, Mabel. I have taken twelve blue ribbons! Think of that! And I have you and Ben here to thank for it, too. You don't know how proud and glad I am." "Well, we are just as pleased as you are, Aunt Hitty," said Ben; "I'm mighty glad I happened to come by and stop Tuesday. Twelve premiums! That is good! I reckon Uncle Josiah won't object to that, will he?" "No, he'll be glad because she will get good money out of them," said Man' in a little aside, "but you and I are glad for more than that, Ben, aren't we?" "We surely are! It's worth a trip to town any day to see Aunt Hitty's innocent pride in her nice work. We will go over after dinner and see the display." By that time Aunt Hitty had the basket unpacked, and they sat down under the shade of a great tree to enjoy its tempting contents. In a short time the snowy rolls, tender fried chicken, crisp pickles, golden butter, rich cake and other delicacies had almost disappeared, and Aunt Hitty gave what was loft in the basket to a couple of hungry looking little newsboys who had been hovering around, prhps in hope of a generous windfall. While the delightedurchins carried off their feast, the basket was returned to the carriage, and Aunt Hitty went over with the young folks to see the display in the Home Products building. Oh, what rows and rows of crimson, ruby, amber and golden jellies, what jars of toothsome preserves, snow-white loaves of bread, cakes fit for the feast of a king, dainty pickles and other good things were ranged on the neat shelves and tables! And no one display in whole was finer than Aunt Hitty's, or could boat of a greater number of ribbons. "My premiums will come to over twenty dollars, Mabel, just think of that!" whispered the good lady, in great delight. "I'm ever so glad for you!" answered the dear girl. "I'll tell you what, Aun Hitty, you must take ever dollar of it and buy you a nice new cloak this winter; you know you need one ever so much." "That's what I thought I'd do, but I don't know what Josiah would say if I spent it all for a cloak." "Oh, we'll want you to buy a calf, or a sheep, or a pig, of course, but you won't do it. You earned every bit of it, and no thanks to him that you won it. Just you turn him over to me, and I'll settle him. If I can't can." "Ben's the best boy in the world!" said Aunt Hity, carnely. "I want you to be good to him, Mabel." Mabel laughed and gave no answer just then. But when they had watched the races until they were almost over, and the crowd began to wend its way homeward, Mabel had made up her mind that she would, as Aunt Hity had said, "be good to Ben." She did not say anything until they were well toward home, and in sight of the neat cottage which Ben was building for himself on the part of father's farm which he had bought with his own savings. Then she looked up and said archly, "Almost ready to live in, isn't it, Ben?" "Yes," he answered gravely, "but I can't live in it alone, Mabel." "Can't you? Better ask some nice girl to live there with you, then." "I have. I asked the n'estle girl in the world, two o- three times, but she has not said she would." Mabel laughed, and said softly: "Perhaps if you ask her once more she will." He laid one strong hand over the small ones in her lap, and said—earnestly: "Then I'll try it. Will she go, Mabel?" "I think she will, Ben." "My dear little girl!" Ben's arm wore suddenly round her, and it was a good thing his horse was steady, and did not scare at the big auto which just then went thundering by, for Ben wasn't minding the horrs call. "You're not afraid to trust me, then?" he asked, presently. "No, Ben, I'm not. I am sure that a young fellow who would be so good and kind to an old lady, will always be good to a young one, and so I've made up mind at last, dear. You can have me, if you want me." It did not take Ben long to convince her that he did want her. It may be that two happier young folks got home from the fair that Thursday evening, but Ben and Mabel didn't think so.-Indiana Farmer. THE PULPIT. 4 BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY REV. I. W. HENDERSON. Subject: The Holy Spirit. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme, "The Holy Spirit," the Rev. I. W. Henderson, pastor, took as his text Jno. 14:16-17. He said in the course of his sermon: As we read this and the two succeeding chapters of this good news of the Beloved Disciple, we appreciate, more and more, the vital, forceful influence of the Holy Spirit upon the lives of those who love and serve God. It was at the close of the Last Supper that Christ uttered these words. A few hours and the cross claimed Him. Philip had asked, "Lord, shew us the Father." Our text is: a portion of Christ's answer. We are told by the commentators that the Holy Spirit, the Comforter is also an advocate, a helper. Literally translated the Greek means: "One who is called to another's side to aid him." To our side, an ever present aid through all eternity, the Holy Spirit has been called by Christ. Comforter, advocate, teacher, helper, guide and eternal friend, such is the Holy Spirit of the new dispensation as granted to us by our Heavenly Father. The position of the Holy Spirit with reference to us is clearly shown by the prepositions used in the verses. "And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever, even the spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him, but ye know Him, for He abideth by you and shall be in you." With you, by you, in you. With you, "in the fellowship of His everlasting presence." By you, "in His personal presence." In you, "as an abiding personal energy." With you, by you, in you, in all the eternal omnipotence, love and wisdom of the very God Himself. The Holy Spirit is the presence of Almighty God and of His son Jesus Christ, with you, by you, in you. The pronouns, as the prepositions, are of prime importance. He is God, with, by and in man. The Holy Spirit who is in our hearts to-day has been the dynamic in the lives of consecrated men and women since time was. In his journey up from bondage, it was the spirit of God that sustained Moses. He is the spirit of which Isaiah wrote: "And thine ears shall hear a word behind the saying. This is the way, walk ye in it." And again we read in Ezekiel: "And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments and do them." The spirit of Samuel and of Jeremiah is the Spirit of Saul of Tarsus. The same but, oh, how much more full. He brings to us not merely the wealth of association that crowds about the national life of the chosen people of God. To us, He comes as a consumation and memorial of the power, majesty and all-embracing love of God and of His Son our Saviour, Jesus, the Christ. The Holy Spirit influences and directs every good and great movement that emanates from the hearts and souls of Christian men. God working in His Holy Spirit fills the heart of Henry-Ward Deecher with an overwhelming love for the Southern slave, and the inspired words of that virile Christian speed the breaking of a million shackles. The auction of the slave girl in the pulpit of Plymouth Church was God in His Spirit moving Henry Ward Deecher to decisive action. The Holy Spirit enters the heart of Florence Nightingale and soldiers on every ruddy field know the touch of a loving hand and the consolation of a sympathizing heart. The Comforter strikes hidden, inexhaustible springs in the souls of D. L. Moody, of General Crittenden, of Jerry McAulay, and myriads of outcast men and fallen women feel the power of the sheltering, upbearing arm of Almighty God. Tennyson hears the voice of God within and to us are given the immortal lines of "In Memoriam" and of "Crossing the Bar." The history of the presence of the Christ in the lives, of nations lies in the work consummated by His Holy Spirit. All the great reforms, all the great movements that have bettered humanity have had their inception in the minds of Spirit-filled men. Who can say but that the hand and the Spirit of God have been with this land, as it was with Israel, in her phenomenal success. To be sure we have made our mistakes. We are a far cry from the Christ ideal. But did we, nationally, revere Him more, did we but let His Holy Spirit dwell deeper and more lastingly in our national heart. He would bless us far beyond our fondest expectations. God is the God of nations. Christ came to take away the sins of the world, of nations, as of individuals. The Holy Spirit can fill a nation's heart if its people will but do God's will. The most vital necessity in the Life of the Christian and of the church is the Holy Spirit as He descends, constantly freshened and refreshing, from the throne of God. Having accepted Christ and His plan for our redemption, He is the first thing that we must gain. The apostles, men of God and with Christ as they were, could do naught in the work of the evangelization of the world and of lifting mankind to the level of the Christ life until they had received the gift of the Holy Ghost. For in the first chapter of the record of the Acts of the Apostles we read that "the Apostles being assembled together" after the resurrection, our Lord "commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith He, ye have heard of Me. For John truly baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized of the Holy Ghost not many days hence." On the day of Pontecost they were all with one accord in one place, and the Holy Spirit descended upon them. You know the story. You know also the glorious assertion: "And the same day there were added unto them about 2000 sculis, and the Lord added to them daily those that were being saved." The Holy Spirit was necessary to the Apostles. To us He is indispensable. We complain of the lack of sincerity, of vitality, in the Church. This age is heralded as an age of doubt and of disbelief. The Church stands almost still. Her flags flap limply in a breeze of progress that holds straight out the ensigns of the minions of Satan. Sin confronts us on every hand and we make but insufficient headway against it. We regret that the Church does not enjoy a revival of the blessings of God upon her. We mourn that for one soul born into the Kingdom of God a more than equal number are seized in the snares of Satan. We pray for the upliftment of the world and we see the world slim from us. Something is wrong. God was with the early Church. God is with the missionary in the farthest East. Thousands are being brought to Christ in India. Within our midst the multitudes of the unchurched and the unsaved appall us. Glance over the records of the apostolic church. Read the story of her growth. Is there not something wrong with us? What is the matter? Let us see. It is not that we have not the money to prosecute our work. We have more than at any time since our beginning. It is not that we have not numbers or able leaders or that Christ has proven false. The fault lies with us. The Church of Jesus Christ is not alive to the possibilities of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The Church needs Christ in her heart. The fault lies not with God. It lies with us. We, it is, who have been content with but a portion of His grace when He would have given to us all. We, it is, who have been content to drift and almost to drown, rather than to lay hold upon the eternal saving power of the Holy-Spirit. Let the Church awake from her lethargy; let her unite under the banner of the cross and follow true; let her live the life that she never wearies to preach; let her show to the world that the Christ life is practical life written large; let her appropriate to herself the Holy Spirit with His uplift toward Christ and the Father; and then will come a return of the miracles of the early Church, of which it is written, "and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls." The essential requirement of the Christian life is not to be able to decide definitely the date of the Flood, or to be able to assert the exact authorship of the books of the Pentateuch, or to be able, more or less intelligently, to quibble over the pin points of ecclesiastical dogmatism. Be not deceived, to know the Bible word for word is not to be a Christian. Spirituality is the great sine qua non of the Christ life. That we may be able to purify ourselves and to lift others up to the Christ we need the Holy Spirit "good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over in our hearts." Ere we can experience the depth, the power and the world-wide inclusiveness of God's love, we must be reborn of God's ididwellning Spirit. Open the doors of your heart and let the blessed sunshine of God's illuminating Spirit glow in upon you. With you, by you, in you, let the Comfortor abide. In sorrow He will sustain you. In care He will comfort you. He will strengthen you in life. He will rob death of its sting. "Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions. I will not leave you orphans. But I will pray the Father and He shall give you another Comfortor, that He may abide with you forever." A Lesson From the Butterfly. A naturalist one day was studying a cocoon, in which a butterfly was struggling to be free. He heard it beating against the sides of its little prison, and his heart went out in pity for the helpless creature. Taking a tiny laceet he cut away the fragile walls and released the little captive. But to his amazement it was not the beautiful creature that he had expected to see. It lay struggling upon the table, unable to walk, unable to fly, a helpless, unlovely object. In place of the gorgeously colored wings that he had expected to see, were weak, shriveled members. What was the matter with this creature that should have been so fair? The prison gates had been opened too soon, the obstacle had been removed before the struggle had developed sufficiently through struggling to be ready for its glorious flight into the sunshine skies and among the perfumed flowers. O God, when the walls seem to close about us, when we struggle and agonize to be free, when Thou dost not cut away the barriers, is it not because, in Thine infinite wisdom, Thou dost see that we are weak and dost want us to become strong? Then at last, when the struggle is finished, like the butterfly, we may come forth, not perhaps, in glorious robes of splendid colors as it is, but in the everlasting robes of righteousness.—Christian Observer. A Man Worth Knowing. I should like to know a man who just minded his duty and troubled himself about nothing; who did his own work and did not interfere with God's. How nobly he would work—working not for reward, but because it was the will of God! How happily he would receive his food and clothing, receiving them as the gifts of God! What peace would be his! What a sober gayety! How hearty and infectious his laughter. What a friend he would be! How sweet his sympathy! And his mind would be so clear he would understand everything. His eye being single, his whole body would be full of light. No fear of his ever doing a mean thing. He would lie in a ditch rather. It is the fear of want that makes men do mean things.—George Macdonald. What We Should Never Forget. Let us never forget that what we are is more important than what we do; and that all fruit borne when not abiding in Christ must be fruit of the flesh, and not of the Spirit.—J. Hudson Taylor. Walking in faith is walking in the light of His face. SCIENTIFIC & INDUSTRIAL "Fluid lenses" are the invention of a Hungarian chemist. Each lens consists of a fluid substance inclosed between two unusually hard glass surfaces, similar to watch crystals. The lenses are achromatic. The fluid does not evaporate. The new lenses are said to be as good as those all of glass and can be made much more quickly and for a fraction of the price of the all-glass lenses. It is expected that the new lenses will be especially useful for great telescopes. Evidence is accumulating to show that the chemical elements in general are not as fixed and unalterable as was supposed a few years ago. In Germany, R. Fabinyi has prepared chlorine by adding sulphuric acid to a mixture of potassium perchromate and sodium chloride, and in another experiment by adding sodium chloride drop by drop to potassium perchromate mixed with sulphuric acid. The two specimens of chlorine differed materially, although prepared from the same materials, and neither showed any impurity on being tested. The permanent exhibition of accident-preventing appliances at Charlottenburg is to have an annual grant of fifty thousand marks. It now contains 115 large machines with six hundred smaller appliances, and fifteen electric motors supplying driving power. Accident-preventing parts of machines are painted red, while dangerous parts are blue. Workmen's clothing, eye protectors, safety clutches, door locks and speed brakes are shown, with safety devices for lathes, presses, circular saws, etc. Safety scaffolding is placed on the grounds, while a gallery gives lessons in preventing industrial discases. The German military authorities in southwestern Africa have, since 1904, developed a network of wireless telegraph-stations, for communication between military posts, and it is continually extending. Captive balloons, or kites, ascending to a height of 250 or 300 meters, carry transmitting and receiving apparatus, and are connected by vertical cables with the stations beneath. The stations are installed with carriages, running on four wheels, and furnished with petroleum motors of four horse-power, dynamos, and the other needed apparatus, as well as with camping material and accessories. --- The propagation of smell through tubes where the air is free from currents was found to be very slow, showing that the fast propagation ordinarily observed in free space is due almost entirely to currents. For example, with ammonia diffusing through a tube a meter and a half long, over two hours elapsed before the smell could be detected at the other end of the tube. Using different lengths of tubing, it was found that the time required for the diffusion of the smell was roughly proportioned to the square of the length. Ammonia and hydrogen sulphide were used for the above experiments. With camphor while the rates horizontally and downward were about the same, the speed upward was about twice as great.—Science. Artificial respiration in the apparently drowned is usually set up by regular flexion of the arms of the prostrate patient. Seeking more positive and better action, Dr. Eisenmenger, of Szaszvaros, Hungary, has developed the new plan of alternately raising and depressing the abdomen, and believes that this is a much more effective method of resuscitation. His simple apparatus is a kind of cuirass, which is strapped to the body and made tight by an edge pad, with a foot bellows for compressing and exhausting the air. The abdomen rises and falls with the varying pressure in the cuirass, and this gives not only vigorous inspiration and expiration but also a gentle heart massage, the combined action tending to give favorable results even in desperate cases. His Specialities. Captain Spencer, of the Church Army, tells this incident. He asked a convict what he did for a living when he left prison. "Well, in spring I does a bit o' pea-picking, and in summer I does a bit o' fruit picking." "Yes," said the captain, "and what do you do in the winter?" "Well, mister,I may as well be honest with yer. In the winter I does a bit o' pocket-picking!" Captain Spencer next asked, "And what happens then?" The convict replied, "Why, I comes 'ere and does a bit o' oakum-picking'"—London News. Typesetting by Telegraph. A young Italian named Cava, who invented a method of typesetting by telegraph, may receive honor in his own country but is not likely to make a fortune there. His device is simple in principle. An instrument of the kind used to record messages on the familiar ticker is connected with a monotype machine and makes perforations on the paper band. Although experiments with the Cava machine are said to have been successful, Italian newspapers cannot use it because the Government forbids private wires.—The Unionist.

RIGDON, the Republican candidate, was defeated. This is the time that the poll tax club should be enticing the colored people to pay their tax. The first, was the only district in the state that had a candidate for Congressional honors on the Republican ticket. In the election on Tuesday in Chicago, Attorney F. L. Barnett, was elected municipal judge and Mr. DePriester, as a county commissioner. THE Georgia State Colored Fair opens in Macon on Monday to continue until the following Monday. It should be the gathering place of every Negro of note in the State. To vote in the coming municipal election it is necessary for every voter to pay this years tax. Every colored man in the county should go up and pay this tax at once. The books are now open. LAST week we made mention of the effective service rendered by Rev. Bright as rector of St. Stephen's church for fifteen years. He has been nominated by the Bishop Nelson for the position of Arch-Deacon. This is a prominent position in the church, carrying with it much honor and finance. But it is hoped that Rev. Bright will not accept. He is doing a great work here and accomplishing much for the uplift of the community. We join with his parishioners in asking him to remain with us. THE President has issued crders dishonorably discharging the men of the battalion, of the Twenty-Fifth Infantry, stationed in Texas. This was done because the men refused to disclose the identity of the men who were in the shooting scrape at Brownsville. In this matter grave injustice has been done the innocent men of the battalion who would not prejure themselves to be retained in the service. One significant fact about the matter was the publishing of the orders the morning after the election No one has differed from Editor Davis and many of his utterances in The Atlanta Independent, more than THE TRIBUNE. The editor of THE TRIBUNE has not alone differed on lines above, but politically and fraternally. Above all of these differences there looms up the form of a man, as the sun darts from behind a darkened cloud, and after all, it is the man that we admire. THE TRIBUNE along with his many friends in this city and elsewhere, join in extending their admiration and congratulating him in his recent elevtaion. At the gathering held in this city on Tuesday night, free expressions were given on the things above mentioned and these expressions have caused a clearer understanding that immediately resulted in admiration. Editor Davis is a strong man for the race in this state and is destined to do much good. College Exhibit. The Georgia State Industria College has sent an extensive exhibit to the First Colored State Fair which opens in Macon, November 12th. All of the departments of the school are represented and the exhibit is by far the most creditable of any that has been gotten up by the school. The exhibit from the wheelwright and blacksmith departments, consists of two spring wagons, one buggy, one buggy body and seat, two sets of andirons and two cases of fillings, chippings and forge work. The shoemaking and harness department have sent up six pairs of handmade shoes, two sets of harness and three cases of model and practice work. An artistic miniature stairway will represent the carpentry department and a Prince Albert suit, Turzedo coat and vest, along with specimens of patchwork and Drawings will show forth the handwork in the tailoring department. The credit for all the painting on the wagons, buggy and other articles in the exhibit belongs to the painting department of the College while a class from the masonry department will go to the fair to construct a piece of ornamental brickwork The exhibit from the sewing department is creditable and will attract much attention. The farm has sent sugar cane, cotton, rice, potatoes, and will also conduct prac- M. B. B. J DAVIS, The Able Editor of The Atlanta Independent. tical work at the Fair, for the benefit of the people. The literary department of the school will be largely represented. The exhibit being designed to show that the head as well as the hand is trained and developed at the College. The scientific department has sent numerous instruments, chemicals, etc., and the department of pedagogy will endeavor to show the rural teachers how to conduct a thoroughly up-to-date primary or grammar school. All the other Academic departments are represented and the exhibit as a whole will certainly elicit much praise. EDITOR B. J. DAVIS HONORED. Much courtesles Extended Him by Friends and Congratulations showed on Account of His Elevation. Editor B. J. Davis, of the Atlanta Independent, Grand Secretary of the District Grand Lodge of Odd-Fellows of Georgia, and Grand Treasurer of the B. M. C., arrived in the city last Sunday. He was met by some of his friends and was in their hands from then until he left on Wednesday night. Monday afternoon in company of Messrs Geo. S. Williams, L. E. Williams, and a TRIBUNE representative he was given a drive to several of the resorts. At night he visited the meeting of Armenia Lodge, after which a committee of that lodge and of Mt. Seir lodge had prepared a repast on the second floor. Tuesday a committee of Odd-Fellows gave him a drive through the city The climax of his visit occurred on Tuesday night. On this occasion there was gathered at Morse's Hall a number of the more well known citizens to give honor to the prominent Georgian and congratulate him on his recent elevation to the position he now holds on the official board of the Odd-Fellows of this country. A table extending the entire length of the hall, was laden with good things. The popular Mr. Geo. S. Williams, as master of ceremonies occupied the head. On his extreme right was seated the guest of honor, Editor Davis and on his left Mr. Chas. A. Clark, of Brunswick, while Mr. L. E. Williams held the honor at the other end. All present entered immediately with zest into the substantials and spirit of the occasion, after the blessings by Mr. W. R. Fields. The overflowing spirit of good cheer was not retained very long. There was no prepared program, the purpose being to have a general love feast and it was truly one Master of Ceremonies Williams proved a fluent and able one. He introduced the several speakers in a happy strain not forgetting their labors for uplift. Col. J. H. Deveaux, Collector of Customs, was the first speaker. In his characteristic manner he gave utterance to sentiments that were heartily applauded. He was followed in this strain by the several speakers. The sentiments of good cheer were increased when the eloquent Brunswickian, Chas. A. Clark, was introduced. Those who know Mr. Clark realize readily the happy manner in which he spoke and the many good things said. The greatest enthusiasm arose when the master of ceremonies, eloquently introduced the guest of honor, Editor B. J. Davis. He was received with prolonged applause. What he said was characteristic of the man. Every sentiment uttered contained points for thought. He gave a clear exposition of his stand in affairs in this State and did so in such a convincing manner that he immediately received the amens of his hearers who showed approval by hearty applause whenever he made convincing points, which were numerous. While this was not a distinctly Odd-Fellow gathering, for there were many Masons and K. of P. present; yet the hearty Odd-Fellows, joined in by others predicted his election to the highest office in the gift of the Order, the Grand Mastership of America Among the gentlemen present were Col. J. H. Deveaux, Mr. Chas. A. Clark, of Brunswick; Dr. J. H. Bugg, Dr J. H. King, Dr. E. D. Bulkley, Dr Geo. R. Shivery, Attorney F. B. Pettie, Messrs. L. E. Williams, H. M. Reid, L. M. Pollard, E. W. Howell, J. D. Savage, Julian Smith, R Barnes, D. J. Scott, Chas. A. McDowell, H. B. Wright, P. Edward Perry, Edward Petty, W. Smith, R. B. Brooks, W. S. Scott, Jos. G. Geary, Toby Lloyd, W. R. Fiolds W. J. Williams, W. S. Roundfield, C. W. Alexander, C. G. Jordan, T. Freeman, and a TRIBUNE representative. This gathering was a significant one. All differences of opinion were obliterated and the cement of everlasting friendship was spread. Much credit is due Mr. Geo. S Williams for the success of this gathering, and everybody went away at the we sma hours with the sentiments of the occasion indelibly impressed upon their mind. Editor Davis left on Wednesday afternoon for home carrying with him the best wishes of his friends in the Forest City Card of Thanks. I take this method of thanking the members and friends of Beth-Eden Baptist Church for their hearty cooperation and many words of encouragement during my installation services last week. I doubly thank the various pastors of this city, who with their congregations came to our rescue with both greeting and cash. On Sunday night, the 11th, inst., I will deliver a special sermon outlining my purposes and policies while pastor in and citizen of the city of Ravannah, and shall be glad for as many of our friends as can consistently be from their duties elsewhere to worship with us at that time. The subject of the sermon will be, "My Pastoral Motto." Yours in His name. D. W. Cannon, pastor. Beth-Eden Baptist Church. Peflations for Incorporation.

Fifteen Years of Service Rendered Without a Reprimand. 13 About fifteen years ago Mr. L. E. Williams, President of The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company, was appointed clerk in the R M S. Since that time he has resided in Savannah and elicited the friendship of scores of citizens. During these years he has given faithful and efficient service The chief clerk or superintendent has never had occasion to reprimand or fine him for a dereliction of duty or for non efficiency. He is well liked by his fellow clerks and in disposition he is today what he was fifteen years ago when he went into the service. He is one of the incorporators of The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Co., and at its organization, was elected vice-president. At the death of Mr. Albert Jackson, president of the company, he was elected president. The wisdom of this is proven in the phenominal success of the company under his administration. The business of this company has grown to such an enormous proportion, that the directors were compelled to request Mr. Williams to give his entire service to the company. Seeing the necessity of this and having confidence in the success of the company, he readily tendered his resignation to the government. This was received with regret and accepted to take effect the first instant. This was a great act of Mr. Williams', giving up an excellent paying life long position, but like the man he is, he saw the necessity for the move and the great good that he can accomplish by giving his entire time and attention to the upbuilding of The Wage Earners. Mr Williams is among the ablest financiers of the race. Through his keen discernment, business sagacity, conservative actions and untiring efforts the business of The Wage Earners has grown to a great proportion. He is sunny in disposition and friendly with everybody. The shareholders of The Wage Earners are fortunate in securing the services of its able President and THE TRIBUNE predicts for the company during his administration, assisted by the able Secretary and Treasurer, Mr. Walter S. Scott, that the company's business will increase in a substantial and wonderful manner. Second Baptist Church. The weekly services were fairly well attended. Owing to the pastor helping Rev. Gray in the St. John's revival, he was not in the weekly meetings. Sunday services were excellent; large crowds attended both services, Excellent collections at both hours, also a good collection was raised for the Macon Reformatory. Dr. May administered the communion for Dr. J. W. Carr, at the First A. B. Church Sunday afternoon. Rev. J. R. Anderson represented pastor May in the "Union Meeting" at St. John, last Sunday afternoon. The following officers were elected, Pres. G. W. Griffin, D. D., First Bryan Church; Vice Pres. L. L. Blair, Bethlehem Church; Secretary John H. May, Second B. Church; Treas. Wm. Gray, St. John Church. The next meeting will be held with Bethlehem Church, the first Sunday in Dec. at 3:45 p. m., at which time it is hoped other churches will join and be benefitted. The sick list is larger this week than last week. Mrs. Rena Fields is at the Georgia Infirmary to undergo an operation and requests the members to come and see her. Bro. Bailey has been quite sick with the pneumonia. Sister Eliza Clark, 1919 Ht. East, is quite ill. The pastor attended the funeral of Bro. Henry Miller, on East Broad Ht., Saturday afternoon and the funeral of Sister Maria Sneed at White Bluff on Tuesday afternoon. Several clubs held successful meetings during the week. The church will have its usual Thanksgiving sermon and services on Thanksgiving Day. All churches, pastors, lodges and the general public age cordially invited to worship with us that day. Several members joined this week. The revival will open to-morrow, (Sunday) morning; Rev. J. B Anderson will preach at both hours. Communion at 3:30 p. m., every member, together with members of slater churches are invited to attend the '3:30 services, Preaching, by Rev. Anderson for the next 15 nights. Everybody invited. All pastors are hereby given a special invitation, by authority of pastor May. The rally has been positively fixed for the fourth Sunday in Jan. 1007. Death of Harry Elliott Battese, Sr. Mr. Harry E. Battese, Sr., died at his home White Bluff on Tuesday afternoon Oct. 30th, at 130 o'clock, after a lingering sickness of two months. This is the first time he has been sick in 27 years. Mr. Battese was well known in Savannah where he has lived for a number of years. He was born on St. Catherine Island, Jan. 14, 1844. He lived there many years after Emancipation. When quite young, he married to Mrs. Nancy Battese who still survive him. In 1879 he moved to Savannah where he resided until 1883, then moved to White Bluff where he lived to the time of his death. He was well liked both in Savannah and White Bluff. He was a man who made many friends and one who retained the friendship he made. He was a consistant christian. He was a member of Mt. Herman Baptist Church and also its, oldest deacon. He was well liked by the congregation and the whole community. He was 'one of the organizers of Mt. Olive Association. President also of the Farmers Benevolent Aid Association, of which bore his remains to the cemetery. He also held office in both. He was a father of many children of which eight survive him. Mr. Battese was survived by his wife, one sister, Mrs. E. Kell, three sons H. E. Jr., D. Emanuel and Benj. A Battese, and five daughters, Mrs. P. Sherman, Mrs. L. Renear, Mrs. M. Harris, Mrs. H. Small and Mrs. Wm. Grayson. All were with him when the end came, except his youngest son, Benj. Battese who is away and I do not know of his death. Beside these he leave a host of relatives to mourn his death which will be felt in Savannah as well as at White Bluff. In Memory of REV. S. BEAUFORD Who departed this life Nov. 3rd, 1905. My dear husband is gone to rest. To reign with God forever blessed. Oh I could I see his shinning face. Delighted with that happy place?

But say dear one with God remain Sleep on Dear one sleep and take your rest I love Thee well but God loves thee best Rest on, rest on, on that peaceful shore Until we meet to part no more.

AT ALL DRUG STORES, IN $1.00 BOTTLES Dyspepsia of Women Caused by Female Disorders and Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound A great many women suffer with a form of indigestion or dyspepsia which does not seem to yield to ordinary treatment. While the symptoms seem to be similar to those of ordinary indigestion, yet the medicines universally prescribed do not seem to restore the patient's normal condition. Mrs. M. Wright Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a derangement of the female organism, and which, while it causes a disturbance similar to ordinary indigestion, cannot be relieved without a medicine which not only acts as a stomach tonic, but has a peculiar tonic effect on the female organism. As proof of this theory we call attention to the case of Mrs. Maggie Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y., who was completely cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after everything else had failed. She writes: "For two years I suffered with dyspepsia which so degenerated the entire system that I was unable to attend to my daily duties. I felt weak and nervous, and nothing that I ate tasted good and it caused a disturbance in my stomach. I tried different dyspepsia cures, but nothing seemed to help me. I was advised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial, and was happily surprised to find that it acted like a fine tonic, and in a few days I began to enjoy and properly digest my food. My recovery was rapid, and in five weeks I was a well woman. I have recommended it to many suffering women." No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement or has such a record of cures of female troubles, as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

When it becomes an everyday duty the funny feature disappears, and instead the air is generally laden with expletives not suitable to polite society. The hog is an elusive beast. Being round and fat—and also slippery—the chaser is not afforded any point of vantage to obtain a firm hold. This is true with but one exception, and that is his tail. But here again the chaser is handicapped. Hogs' tails are so little and at the same time so frail that New Work For Girls.

A simple experiment is one on blackness. You know that no paint or any other substance in the world is perfectly black, but there is a way to make a figure appear so that it will look black if even than black velvet. Paint the inside of a pasteboard box black or cover it with dead black cloth. In the lid of the box make a hole, being careful not to make it larger than one-tenth of the surface 1 The Black Box. of the lid. If now you hold,the box so that the light will not strike the hole directly and look through the hole into the box the hole will appear intensely black. Make the hole in the form of a design or an imp or a brownle, and even if you paint the lid black, when you look through the hole you will see the figure darker than the dark background. The black produced by this method is called "Chevreul's black," after the Frenchman who invented it. Fate of the Czars. The reported determination of the Czar to abdicate recalls the fact that since 1613, when the Romanoffs became the royal house of Russia, there have been eighteen Czars. Of these eighteen Romanoffs, one (Ivan) was an idiot, three have been murdered by their relatives (not including Alexis, son of Peter the Great, poisoned by his father), one was assassinated by his subjects, twelve have died more or less natural deaths, while the present Czar, Nicholas II., makes the eighteenth and his fate history has still to determine.—Pall Mall Gazette.

Thrust them into water and see the result as shown in the accompanying picture. The water will rise higher in the smaller tubes than ```markdown ``` in the larger, and it will be higher at the sides of the tubes than in the middle. This is due to the pressure of the air on the surface of the water, and to what is known as capillary attraction, this last causing the water to rise in the sides of the tube. Now thrust the tubes into mercury, and an exactly opposite effect will be produced, as shown in the darker picture, for the mercury will have a lower level inside the tubes than outside, and as it has a tendency to slip away from the glass surface rather than to cling to it there is no capillary attraction, and it falls downward at the sides and curves upward in the centre. Besides, it will rise higher in the larger tubes than in the smaller ones. A similar experiment may be made with two flat pieces of glass, placed together like a wedge, and held so by a broad rubber band, a piece of wood being placed at the top and the bottom of the open part, as shown in the illustration. Now dip this wedge into water, and you will find that the water will rise higher where the pieces of glass come together than at the open part, thus making a curved surface. Dip it into mercury and the curve will be reversed, the mercury having a lower level where the pieces of glass come together.—New York Mall. Must Have Faith.

Thornson, in a recent lecture on the modern theory of the constitution of matter at the Royal Institution, said that the atom is now regarded as being made up of "masses of positive and negative electricities." The negative electricity, even when not attached to a material particle, is conceived to exist as an extremely small, discreet particle in itself. Such electric particles are called corpuscles. It has been proved that they are less than a thousandth of the size of a hydrogen atom. Professor Thornson spoke of them as "the bricks of atoms." It should not be inferred, however, that they are packed together in the atom like bricks laid immovable in a wall. They move freely, and in a vacuum their velocity may range between 1000 and 60,000 miles per second, according to the degree of exhaustion. The physiological effects of feeble radio-activity have been a subject of investigation in France by E. S. London. Using a quarter of a grain of radium he applied this to the forearm for brief intervals, and obtained a distinct reaction after a minimum exposure of fifteen seconds. He suspended four grains of radium bromide in a cage about eighteen inches long by sixteen wide and twelve high. Three rabbits confined in this cage showed redness of the ears after sixteen days, while burns soon appeared on the backs, and after fourteen months the backs and heads were denuded of fur and covered with ulcers. Movements had become apathetic and slow, the hind legs being partially paralyzed. The eyes were affected, and post-mortem examinations revealed changes, and degenerations in the muscles, liver, spleen, kidneys and generative organs. The expansive force of compressed air is employed in a very interesting way by the North Carolina Granite Company. On a sloping hillside, composed of granite which shows no bed planes, but splits readily in any direction when started, a three-inch bore is sunk about eight feet deep, and the bottom is enlarged by exploding a half-stick of dynamite. A small charge of powder is fired in this hole, which starts a horizontal crack or cleavage. Charges increasing in size are exploded until the cleavage has extended over a radius of seventy-five or 100 feet. Then a pipe is cemented into the bore, and air is forced in, under a pressure of from eighty to 100 pounds. The expansion of the air extends the cleavage until it comes out at the surface on the slope of the hill. A horizontal sheet of granite several acres in extent may thus be separated. The thermophile fabrics of G. Herrrott, of Valdole, France, introduce a novel method of applying warmth, and are expected to do much for domestic electric heating. The fabrics are a combination of textile and conductive threads, the latter being made of any required size and combining with any textile materials. When woven the electro-thermic wires are hidden, many electro-thermic weights enter into each circuit, and the circuits are joined by collector wires, of which one pole is placed in each selvage of the fabric. There is no danger of fire or other accident. The temperature may range from seventy degrees to ninety-five degrees F. for carpets up to 250 degrees to 300 degrees for hot-air baths, and the possible applications are many, including use for foot warmers and articles of clothing, and furniture, drying apparatus, baby incubators and numerous hospital appliances and most purposes requiring constant moderate heat. Seven Rules For Longerity. The following rules for living to a ripe, old age are given by Mrs. Henderson in her recently published volume, The Aristocracy of Health (Harpers): 1. Study the laws of nature for health and the remedies of nature for cure. 2. Avoid all poisons. 3. Take abundant exercise in pure air, but always short of fatigue. So exercise that every portion of the body is equally benefited. As it takes a strong engine for a long journey, cultivate lung-power by slow, deep-breathing exercises. 4. Eat only the amount of food that nature needs, and study what to eat from a scientific point of view. 5. Cultivate normal sleep. Live and sleep only in rooms that are well sunned, well ventilated, and not overheated. 6. Cultivate the habit of work in connection with some worthy ambition, for healthy exercise of body and mind is as strengthening as repose, and should balance it. Work while you work and rest while you rest, avoiding all worry. Make yourself useful to the world, and feel that you have a mission in it. 7. Avoid all environments, the worst of which is the friend who encourages you to poison yourself. Buying or Selling? It is told of the son of a horse dealer, a sharp lad, when once unexpectedly called upon by his father to mount a horse and exhibit its paces, the little fellow whispered the question, in order to regulate how he should ride: "Are you buying or selling?" Tit-Bits. MAY SEND YAMS NORTH. 6outhern Sweet Potato Growers Think Footprints. Might Like. Them. Easterners Might Like Talmud. Something like 175 varieties of sweet potatoes may be produced in the South, but for practical considerations there are only half a dozen or less that are commercially important. These are divided by the Southern Field into two distinct classes. First, the sorts held in favor in the North, which must be yellow, dry, mealy, small to medium size, and in the opinion of the Southern grower the less good quality they possess the better they are appreciated. Second, the varieties desired by Southern consumers, which may be yellow, red or white, in dum or large in size, but must be most sugary and of rich flavor—qualities directly opposite to those demanded in Northern markets. The old pumpkin or yellow yam, the vinecled yam and the Red Providence are considered the best for Southern trade. These are good, whether boiled or fried. When baked they come from the oven covered with a browned, sugary coating which has resulted from the exudation of the overabundance of sugar with which the potato is loaded. They make pies and puddings which are superior to those made from pumpkins or squashes. People are governed by habit even in eating, and the Northern consumer, having firmly fixed in mind the ideal for the Irish potato—that is a dry, mealy potato—is disposed to sacrifice quality to make the sweet potato conform to this standard. While this is true it is also a fact that Northern visitors to the South, many of whom have never had an opportunity to buy in their home markets the varieties so highly esteemed in the South, are quick to appreciate their merits when served on the table at Southern hotels and in Southern homes. This has convinced many growers and handlers of sweet potatoes that some adequate movement should be inaugurated to educate the public at large to the merits and good value of the Southern type of sweet potato. Trade Union Old Age Pensions. It may be doubted whether the public generally are fully aware of what is already being done for the aged by working men through their trade unions and other great self-help organizations. Forty of the principal trade unions paid in 1904 no less a sum than £267,306 in superannuation benefit. The Amalgamated Society of Engineers itself is paying more than £100,000 a year to its aged members. All this is in addition to large expenditure on the unemployed which again is no doubt greatly swelled by those who are made workless through old age. The Northumberland and Durham Miners' Permanent Relief Fund has for many years made provision for its aged members. In 1905 there were 4,301 on the fund, the total amount paid in superannuation for the year being £00,004—Nineteenth Century. A species of bee called the "clothi-ior" covers its nest of eggs with a cloth made from the woody fiber of plants, and thus preserves its young from sudden changes of temperature. Three lives have been saved by means of a device invented by a Swedish woman named Lind, for preventing people from being buried alive. It was applied to 2,200 supposed corpses. It is sheer pretense to claim, as some do, asserts Leslie's Weekly, that the keepers of saloons or the managers of places of amusement, who defy the Sunday closing laws, are actuated by any desire to benefit their fellowmen. Such claims, as a matter of fact, deceive very few if any. If a more liberal construction of our Sunday laws has any fastification, it must be found elsewhere than in this foolish and flimsy talk about benefiting workingmen. HARD TO SEE. Even When the Facts About Coffee Are Plain. It is curious how people will refuse to believe what one can clearly see. Tell the average man or woman that the slow but cumulative poisonous effect of caffeine—the alkaloid in tea and coffee—tends to weaken the heart, upset the nervous system and cause indigestion, and they may laugh at you if they don't know the facts. Prove it by science or by practical demonstration in the recovery of coffee drinkers from the above conditions, and a large per cent. of the human family will shrug their shoulders, take some drugs and—keep on drinking coffee or tea. "Coffee never agreed with me nor with several members of our household," writes a lady. "It enervates, depresses and creates a feeling of languor and heaviness. It was only by leaving off coffee and using Postum that we discovered the cause and cure of these ills. "The only reason, I am sure, why Postum is not used altogether to the exclusion of ordinary coffee is, many persons do not know and do not seem willing to learn the facts and how to prepare this nutritious beverage. There's only one way—according to directions—boll it fully 15 minutes. Then it is delicous." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkga. "There's a reason." A Unique Lamb Trough. In the Breeders' Gazette a correspondent gives an illustration, as well as a description, of what we believe to be a very unique trough for the purpose of feeding lambs. It is as follows: On the field of battle, however, a wing horse would serve far better than a sulky mule, and I now come to the point of my contention. Different breeds and strains horses have different characteristies some being showy, but delicate The accompanying sketch shows the most practical lamb trough I have ever seen. The idea of this trough is to teach the lambs to feed at an early age and it prevents them from jumping into the trough. Take two pieces of lumber, say, four by four, each six feet in length, allowing two inches to go in the ground; on one of these two timbers is placed a four by four, as seen in the sketch. Suspend two wires from the timber B, fasten to trough as shown, a a, and at each end a wire must be fastened. Let the trough hang about one and a half feet from the ground. The lamb is considered the most curious of domestic animals. It walks, up to the trough, puts its nose in the trough and by doing so the trough will gently swing from the lamb; the latter becomes curious to know what this means and follows it up, and finally the lamb is freely eating the food placed in the trough for it. This trough has been used with marked success by one of the most extensive feeders in our country. It will be best to use locust wood for outside construction, as it is very durable. The trough can be made any length desired and can be placed in a sheep shed. . Weaning Pigs. One of the best ways of weaning pigs is to place a small trough just outside the pen when they are about two weeks old, and in it put a small quantity of skim-milk once a day. It is a good idea to set the trough down in the ground a little, so they can easily get their heads into it. They will soon find it, and when the milk is poured in will come to it. As soon as they learn where it is the milk should have a small quantity of corn-meal, bran, and middlings mixed with it. About the fourth week the milk, corn-meal, bran and middlings should be mixed to a moderately thick slop. Gradually increase the thickening until it is more like a mush than a slop, and feed twice a day regularly, so they will be on hand at feeding time. Treated in this manner they will almost wean themselves, especially if they have plenty of clover or grass. The trough in which they are fed must always be kept clean and sweet, especially while the pigs are small. Food that has sourced is apt to cause trouble with the bowels. Pigs that are weaned in this way are not checked in growth when the mother is removed. If the milk supply is limited, water may be added to it to make the slop and mush. There is nothing to be gained by cooking food for pigs.—Fred Grundy, in Farm and Fireside. Mules Versus Horses. Much blame has often been attributed to farmers because they have not, for instance, availed themselves of the most modern machinery, the most extensive drainage, the best systems of road making, the most fashionable breeds of cattle, etc. When I hear these disparaging remarks I generally reply that those who make them should at once assume the responsibility of some vacant land and give their opinions by example rather than by precept. The "player" at farming would soon find that half the mechanical contrivances are useless nettle creepers, that deep expensive drainage of stiff poor clays does not remain effective long enough to pay and that certain fashionable beefy breeds are useless and profitless in a milking herd. There is another permanent or oft repeated cry, however, viz.: Why do not farmers breed, big mules, which 'animals are found so advantageous in various parts of the world, their claims resting upon their freedom from sickness or unsoundness, their hardihood, longevity, thriftiness on cheap rough food and their ability to work in any climate? No one can dispute these and other claims of a like character which they inherit from the donkey tibe; but I beg to submit that from the same source they also inherit the following undesirable list: In comparison with a horse they are weak in muscle and limb, seriously deficient in nervous force, sadly wanting in the organs of respiration if not of circulation, lacking in courage and in the spirit of emulation which carries on the noble horse, and obstinate and sulky, just when an extra effort is required. In the service of their masters, the horse, the camel and the reindeer are the only animals which will exert themselves sufficiently to cause death. The ox, the ass and the mule draw a diplomatic line in their own individual protection, but I do not reflect upon them for this in respect of agricultural work, because I have found the over-willing horse sometimes damaged by thoughtless men. On the field of battle, however, a-willing horse would serve far better than a sulky mule, and I now come to the point of my contention. Different breeds and strains of horses have different characteristics, some being showy, but delicate in constitution, whilst others are not so attractive, though nearly as hardy as a mule. Now, I would urge that in all work wherein a mule is considered suitable, employ a horse of mullish character and he will do the work better than any mule can. By experts these hardy horses are often called pigs, because they eat anything, are never sick or sorry, but are ever ready like a mule. Were these same horses cultivated as they should be, a breed could be established that would work twenty years and be ever immune from all the besetting allments to which the more showy animal is subject, and on the field of battle would supersede the best of mules.—W. R. Gilbert. Comfort For Hen and Chicks. It is a cruel plan which shuts off the air almost entirely from the hen with a brood of chicks by placing a board in front of the coop at night; nor is such a plan necessary if one will take the trouble to build a coop or coops after the following plan: Build the coop after the usual plan, sloping the roof to the rear and covering the front with slats except at one lower corner, where a door should be arranged, so that the hen can be easily let out when desired. To solve the problem of plenty of fresh air and at the same time freedom from prowling small animals, construct a screen; make the frame large enough completely to cover the front of the coop and cover it with wire netting; at either side fasten a strap with a hole in the end, and on the sides of the coop place a screw, over which the straps are placed to hold the screen in place. To make the screen still more secure when placed have the side pieces large enough so that a long wire nail may be driven in them about H G 3 B 2 A one-quarter the length of the nail, at the end; then sink in the ground at either end of the coop two pieces of wood, each having a hole in the end, into which the nail in the end pieces of the screen will fit when the latter is in position. In this way it will be impossible for the screen to get loose. In the illustration, H, at the dotted line, shows where the screen will come when in position; A, the side piece of the screen, with the long wire nail in position; 3, the stakes in the ground to receive the nails; B. the screen complete; G, the swinging lath by which the door for the use of the hen is kept in place, and 2, the manner of attaching the small strap to the side of the screen.—Indianapolis News. Scarcity of Lambs. How can there be other than a scarcity of lambs and high prices when the tendency of the producer is to sell each crop of lambs as fast as they become of marketable size and age and the tendency of the consumer to have lamb for his dinner, no matter what the price demanded? asks the Twentieth Century Farmer. The sheep raiser is not proving himself able to supply the requirements of the mutton eater as fast as the demands are coming. This is observed in the decline of sheep population, and the great demand for the female side of the flock which has developed in the market centres, where the contest is fought out between the packer and the buyer of the cwe for mutton and for breeding purposes. The ewe flock is not a long lived element in the sheep industry; they soon wear out and must go into the mutton market. Their places must be filled from the ranks of the lamb flock, and if these are taken by the extra inducements of high prices there is a serious decline in production staring the business in the face. That lambs for feeding purposes are going to be high there can be no question. That the general prices for mutton will continue high there can be no doubt. That this scarcity is well grounded there is every reason to believe. That feeders of sheep will be obliged to change to cattle to a greater or less extent, there seem good grounds for prediction. Sheep breeders never have greater opportunities for profit in mutton and wool than they are now enjoying throughout the range country. The careful selection and retention of the choice ewe lambs of the flock each year is a business requirement, and the careful selection and purchase of the best rams is business intelligence.—American Cultivator.

THEWINNINGSTROKE If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reasonable amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative teril to one's improvement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches, etc. It is all important, however, in selecting a laxative, to choose one of known quality and excellence, like the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and clearses the system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without gripping, irritating or debilitating the internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when an axative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists, and that full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on the front of every package.

Little Girl's Obstinate Case of Eczema—Mother Says: "Cuticura Remedies in Household Standby." "Last year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physician for an obstinate case of eczema, I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physician's prescription and related only on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are a valuable household standby, living as we'd twelve miles from a doctor, and where it costs from twenty to twenty-five dollars to come up on the mountain.

The Ideal Family Layative is one that can be used by the entire family, young and old, weak and strong, without any danger of harmful effects. It should have properties which insure the same dose always having the same effect, otherwise the quantity will have to be increased and finally lose its effect altogether. These properties can be found in that old family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, because its ingredients are of the purest herbal extracts, and every pill is kept for three years before being sold, which allows them to mellow. We do not believe there is a laxative on the market that is so carefully made. Brandreth's Pills are the same fine laxative pill your grandparents used. They have been in use for over a century and are sold in every drug store and medicine store, either plam or sugar-coated. In a divorce court there are many parting scenes.

Judge Roan of the superior court, criminal division, in Atlanta, Friday, issued an order releasing 19 of the 39 negroes indicted, and 42 of whom are in jail for murder in connection with the killing of County Policeman J. L. Heard in South Atlanta. Twenty-three were ordered held for trial. The 19 negroes ordered released will have to sign a personal bond. This step was taken because the county police could not identify them personally, although they had witnesses. Life Sentence for Wife Poisoner. In the case of Reason Handley, charged with poisoning his wife, on trial at Irwinville for two days, before Judge Martin, the jury after being out five hours, returned a verdict of murder in the first degree with the recommendation of a life term in the penitentiary, on account of the evidence being mostly circumstantial. Judge Martin pronounced sentence, in accordance with the recommendation. The parties are members of prominent Irwin county families, and had been married only two weeks. Poison Charge Fell Flat. G.

Groover was discharged by the justice, he holding there was not sufficient evidence to justify binding him over. Quito a large number of witnesses were examined and great interest was evinced by the people of Chattaooga county. To South Georgia Brigade. General Joel L. Sweat, brigadier general commanding the south Georgia brigade of Confederate Veterans, has issued the following general orders: "Every one who can should attend the annual reunion of the Georgia division, United Confederate Veterans, at the beautiful and hospitable city of Savannah on the 13th and 14th of this month. "The railroad fare will be 2 cents a mile for the round trip and the hotels and boarding houses will give reduced rates. Moreover, preparations are being made for the pleasure and comfort of all who attend while in Savannah. "That those who attend will have a good time and greatly enjoy the occasion is assured. "Miss Florrie May Heath of Thomasville is hereby appointed sponsor, and Miss Kate C. Hall of Brunswick maid of honor for the South Georgia brigade," with Colonel T. N. Hopkins of Thomasville and Major W. B. Boroughs of Brunswick as escorts." State Should Accept Refinery. Commissioner of Agriculture Thomas G. Hudson has recently inspected the government syrup refinery at Waycross, and announces that he will recommend its acceptance by the state of Georgia, to whom it has been tendered free of cost, provided the state will continue, to operate it in connection with the experiment farm. "The offer seems a good one to me," said Mr. Hudson. "The plant and property are easily worth $25,000, and I shall recommend its acceptance by the state. I will make my recommendation to the board of trustees of the state experiment station at its meeting on January 11." The refinery was established some years ago by the government to show the people of south Georgia the class of syrup that can be made from native cane. It has been established that the Georgia cane makes the best syrup to be obtained, and the farmers fu. Ware and adjoining counties have learned valuable lessons from the refinery. Having served its purpose, the govement, through an act of congress has offered the plant and adjacent farm to the state free of all cost, provided the state will agree to continue the operation of the refinery and the cultivation of cane. Fee System Denounced. Not for many terms has a grand jury of Fulton county had more laborious duties to perform than the grand jury for the September term, which made its general presentments a few days ago to the county superior court. The system of compensating county officers by fees is condemned, and the failure of the county executive committee to submit this question to a vote of the people of Fulton county is characterized as a travesty on republican institutions. Fifty thousand dollars or more, the grand jury declares, would be annually saved to the taxpayers of the county by the abolishment of the fee system and the substitution of salaries therefor. It is recommended that candidates pledged to this reform be nominated for the legislature of 1908, and that the salary system be also extended to justices of the peace. In no uncertain language the presentments criticize the failure of the police force, taken as a whole, to adopt stringent measures at the very inception of the recent riot to protect the innocent and helpless. That the cotton producer should go slow in acting upon the strength of the recent ginners' report and the "bear" claims of a late crop, is the warning given by President M. L. Johnson of the Georgia Division of the Southern Cotton Association. "There is no doubt in my mind that the ginners' report to October 25th overshot the mark," President Johnson said. "I base my belief not only upon the fact that we have not had sufficient picking weather since the September report to justify the figures given, and every one is generally aware of the bad weather we have had; but also I am confirmed in my opinion that the figures were too high, by numerous reports which I have received since the ginners' report was published, indicating very clearly that the receipts of cotton did not justify these figures. "Again I note the claims evidently from 'boar' sources of a late crop—a claim which a moment's thought will convince any one is absurd. The early frosts which are general throughout the cotton belt, stopped the development of the cotton and brought the crop to early maturity. "I have contended all along and I hold now that cotton is worth today more than 11 cents. I firmly believe that it is worth right now over 12 cents, and that the farmer ought to have at least that price. In this opinion I see I am upheld by one of the foremost industrial writers in the country, Richard H. Edmonds of the Baltimore Manufacturers' Record." VICTORY FOR STATE OF GEORGIA Question of Jurisdiction in Copper Case Settled in High Court. A Washington dispatch says: In the case of the State of Georgia vs. the Tennessee Copper company, an effort or the part of Georgia to secure the suppression of the fumes of smelters located at Ducktown, Tenn., the supreme court of the United States on Monday overruled the demurrer filed by the coinany without prejudice. Final nearing was set for February 25 next. A temporary restraining order was denied. This action of the United States supreme court means that Georgia's plea for injunction to prevent further destruction of its forests and vegetation in the northern section of the state has a standing in that court, and that it will be given a hearing there on its merits. It also means that Georgia has practically won her main contention, that as to the jurisdiction of the United States supreme court. It was a fight in which the copper trust was involved, for there are numerous other cases of a similar nature in other states which can now be brought before that court. It was a decision which primarily upholds the right of a state to sue in the United States supreme court, citizens of other states, on behalf of the state or its citizens. In this it establishes an important rule of practice for which there has heretofore been no precedent. The widespread and growing destruction to forests and vegetation caused by the processes of smelting copper ores by those Tennessee companies have aroused the people of North Georgia to a determination to put an end as speedily as possible to this evil. ACCIDENTS SHOW DECREASE. Fewer Railroad Gauges for Second Quarter. Then First of 1996 The accident bulletin issued by the interstate commerce commission for the three months ended June 30, 1906, shows the total number of casualties to passengers and employees of railroads to be 16,937, as against 18,296 reported in the preceding three months. OCEANS ARE LINKED By Bands of Steel as Result of Big Railroad Deal. WAS HARRIMAN'S DREAM Coup Involves 23,000 Miles of Track and $1,700,000,000 Capital—The A New York special says: By the election Wednesday of J. T. Harahan as president of the Illinois Central railroad company, to succeed Stuyvesant Fish, it is believed that E. H. Harriman has at last realized the fulfillment of his plan to control a railroad line from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. In this great plan the Illinois Central was the one link missing to complete a line of track from New York to San Francisco and Portland, Ore., from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico and from the gulf to the Pacific again. Until within a few months eastern terminals of the Harriman system were at Kansas City, Omaha and New Orleans. The first important step in the direction of securing the desired outlet on the Atlantic seaboard for the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads, is believed to have been taken by Mr. Harriman several weeks ago when it was reported that one of the roads under his control had taken over control of the Baltimore and Ohio by purchasing a block of forty thousand shares of the Baltimore and Ohio company, which was sold by the Pennsylvania company. This would give Mr. Harriman a route from Chicago and St. Louis to Baltimore and New York. To complete the ambitious proposition for a continuous line from ocean to ocean it was necessary only to connect the western terminals of the Baltimore and Ohio with the eastern terminals of the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific and this purpose the Illinois Central serves amply. Its line from Omaha to Chicago ties together the Union Pacific and the Baltimore and Ohio, while the Illinois Central branch from Chicago to New Orleans gives the Southern Pacific entrance into Chicago and the seaboard. Taken together this railway system when unified puts under one control more than 23,000 miles of track capitalized at more than $1,700,000,000. REBUKE FOR WEATHER MAN. Willis Moore Called Down for Meddling in Union Labor Matter. I president Roosevelt has directed that a reprimand be administered to Willis L. Moore, chief of the weather bureau, for his action in the case of a printer named Cooper, in his office who had been expelled from the Typographical Union for not paying his strike assessments. Mr. Moore, it is alleged, urged Cooper on two occasions to pay his assessments, but the latter refused and he was expelled from the union. Following this, Cooper was transferred to New Orleans, and he claimed that this action, on the part of Moore, was intended as a punishment for him for not complying with the demands of the Typographical Union. The matter was referred to the civil service commission, which, without reporting on the question of whether or not Cooper's transfer was intended as a punishment, held that Mr. Moore's action in urging the payment of the strike assessments was improper. Under the circumstances the commission expressed the opinion that Cooper's transfer would not be for the good of the servie, as this would give the impression that it was intended as a punishment. Accordingly Cooper will be reinstated in his position in the weather bureau in Washington and a reprimand to Mr. Moore will, at the direction of the president, be administered by the secretary of agriculture. ALEXANDER PLEADS GUILTY. Augusta Embezzler Sentenced to Six Years in the Pen.
