VOL. XXII. TWELVE INDICTED On Charge of Peonage by Grand Jury at Pensacola. Lot of Foreigners Brought Charges, Alleging That They Were Held In Slavery and Also Badly Twelve officers and employees of the Jackson Lumber Company, of Lockhart, Ala, were indicted by the United States grand jury at Pensacola, Fla., for peonage and conspiracy to commit peonage. These true bills are the result of an investigation into alleged peonage which existed at the camps of the lumber company some months since, and which the grand jury had been investigating for several days. Three cases of peonage are charged against some of the employees, it being alleged that they went into Walton county, Florida, and forcibly returned to the lumber camps foreigners who had left the employ of the company and who were endeavoring to reach other towns. In one indictment beating and ill treatment is charged. The offenses are alleged to have occurred on July 19, 21 and 24. Robert Gallagher, the woods foreman of the Jackson Lumber Company, was indicted on two counts of alleged peonage, and one for conspiracy, while W. S. Harlan, the manager of the company, was indicted on two counts of conspiracy to commit peonage. Six of the men were held under bond, for the trial which is to be commenced at once, and six others are yet to be arrested. LIKELY TO CAUSE TROUBLE. -Oklahoma Citizens Think Disgraced Nero Troops May Preve Unruly. Negro Troops may prove unruly. It is believed at Fort Reno, Oklahoma, that the four companies of the Twenty-Sixth infantry, which were started for that post Friday night on a special train, are to take the place of negro members of companies B, C and D, of the Twenty-Fifth infantry, recently ordered dismissed by President Roosevelt as a result of the riotous disturbances in Brownsville, Texas, on August 13. A telephone message Saturday from Fort Reno developed the information that the officers at the post there had not been advised of the dispatch of the troops from San Antonio, although infantry had been expected to take the place of the disbanded negro troopers. No trouble had occurred, it was said. Later it was stated by an officer at Fort Reno that the Texas troops could be sent to Oklahoma as a precautionary measure. The negro troops are soon to be formally dismissed and the citizens of Fort Reno, where the three companies are stationed, fear trouble will follow. The Texas troops come, it is said, as a matter of protection to the citizens. Since their arrival at Ft. Reno, which is two miles from El Reno, the negro troops have been placed under the strictest discipline, being subjected to a roll call every two hours. The formal order for the discharge of the disgraced negroes was issued at Washington Friday. The date of actual dismissal is not known. ONE KILLED; SCORE INJURED As Result of Accident to Passenger Train on the B. & O. Road. One person was killed, at least one probably fatally injured, eighteen others less seriously injured in a wreck on the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern road, six miles west of Blanchester, O., early Saturday. The train wrecked was No. 5, and the cause, as given out at the office of the general superintendent of the road, was a defective rail. The engine, postal and baggage cars passed the rail safely, but five coaches were wrecked and rolled down an embankment. REPUBLICANS HARD HIT. Ex-Governor of New York Says. Party, Was Wrecked by Heart. R. B. Odell of Newburgh, N. Y., the former governor and ex-chairman of the state republican committee, said, in an interview Tuesday, that the management of the republican state campaign was the most "aslime" that he ever knew. The whole ticket, he said, might just as well have been elected. As the result stands, it looks like a democratic victory and leaves the republican parly in bad shape with a national campaign coming on. The Savannah Tribune. IMMIGRATION CONGRESS Opens at Nashville and Labor Supply and Negroes of South Are Two Subjects Discussed. The second annual session of the Southern Immigration and Quarantine Conference was called to order at the capitol in Nashville, Tenn., Monday morning. The conference was organized a year ago at Chattanooga and its efforts resulted indirectly in the enactment of better quarantine regulations. by the federal government. Committees on the various subjects to be discussed by the convention were appointed by the chairman. Aside from the appointment of committees, the day was given to speech making by men, representative of every section of the south and its varied business interests. While the conference, which was presided over by its president, John I. Cox, governor of Tennessee, was called primarily for consideration of matters pertaining to immigration and quarantine, the action of the federal government in taking charge of the quarantines two years ago, eliminated almost entirely that subject from discussion, and the delegates devoted the time to a consideration of methods necessary to securing a proper share of the immigrants arriving in this country from foreign shores. The discussion had not proceeded far when the race question came to the fore, and it occupied the attention of the delegates off and on throughout the two sessions of the day. The sentiment of the delegates on the negro question was manifest early in the day in the burst of applause which greeted Governor Cox's statement in his address of welcome, that the south must deal with the negro; that the negro must be protected and his rights preserved, but that political rights must be taken away from the low and vicious of the race. This sentiment was further endorsed when Governor Heyward of South Carolina, who made the principal speech of the day, was given aviation at the conclusion of his address, which declared that immigration would yet solve the negro problem. Governor Cox advocated the establishment of a bureau of immigration by each southern state, with sufficient appropriations to send agents to the north European countries, to England, Ireland, Scotland, Switzerland, France, Germany, Wales and Sweden to induce the laborer to locate in the south. The crying need of the south, Governor Cox said, is more and better labor, especially for the farm and the cotton mill. The governor thought it would be a good move to send agents to the northwest states in an effort to turn the tide of immigration from Canada and British Columbia to the south. But conditions in the south, the governor said, must first be made favrable for the new class, the race question at this time, he said, standing a menace to peace and a hindrance to southern development. The problem must be solved by the south, but the aid and sympathy of the north is almost essential. M. V Richards, land and immigration commissioner of the Southern railway, was the first speaker at the afternoon session. He showed that the tide of the immigration which has flowed for years to the west and northwest had turned southward and with a proper appreciation of the needs of white immigrants the south would easily assimilate the new arrivals. J. C. Hemphill of Charleston, presented by Mayor Rhett, spoke briefly. He, as did Governor Heyward at the morning session, told of South Carolina's efforts for immigration. Mr. Hemphill said among other things that the south must expect to treat these immigrants as white people should be treated. They must not be treated as negroes. The negroes are being treated well enough, he said, but these new immigrants and those to come must be given better care. Mr. Hemphill favored the strict enforcement of the vagrancy laws as one means of solving the negro problem, or the removal altogether of the colored men from the south. F. H. Hyatte of Columbia, S. C., vice president of the National Good Routes Association, spoke briefly in favor of better roads as an incentive to immigration. Col. F. Y. Anderson of Birmingham took issue with Mr. Hemphill's idea of removing the negro from the south. Colonel Anderson favored the paying of higher wages to white immigrants and placing them above the negro as they should be. George H. Smith of New Orleans reviewed the work of Louisiana in securing immigrants and caring for them, after which Victor S. Clark of the department of commerce and labor, Washington, read statistics, showing the desirability of the Italian over the negro as a plantation laborer and his thrift as a farmer and settler. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 17. 1906. NEGRO STATE FAIR Opened at Macon, Ga., Under Flattering Auspices. THOUSANDS OF VISITORS Inaugurated by Monster Parade and Speeches by Booker Washington, Bishop Turner and Other Prominent Men of Race. Thousands of colored people thronged the streets of Macon, Ga., Monday morning in the opening parade of the first colored state fair ever held. Early in the day they flocked toward Macon on all trains and by noon when the parade started there must have been 25,000 to view the floats. Shortly after noon there were exercises at Central City Park, in which the chief feature was the address of Booker T. Washington, Mayor Pro Tem. Dure was present to speak for the city, Mayor Smith, having gone to Savannah. President Wright, of the Colored Fair Association, Bishop Turner and other prominent men of the race, also made brief addresses. Thousands of colored and many whites heard the address of Booker Washington. It was received with most favorable comments from both races. He spoke in part as follows: "What you have done here would have been helpful at any period of our growth. It is most helpful just now when there has been so much in the atmosphere that would tend to discourage those who seek the highest welfare of our people. I congratulate Professor Wright and his associates especially because of the fact that instead of sitting down and whining and complaining and finding fault with, some one else, they have gone forward hopefully, courageously and wisely and placed here this object lesson in the center of Georgia and the heart of the south to demonstrate to the world that the Negro is making progress, but that he has friends among the best class of white people here in the, south who mean to stand by him and encourage him in every effort. This fair, with all that it stands for, serves to make our people feel that there is a chance for them to make progress in this and other southern states. "There is no hope for any individual or for any race, who begins to despair, who begins to feel that there is no chance for him. There is a chance, a magnificent chance, for every black man right, here in the south who will make up his mind that he will devote his life in righteous directions. "This fair shows in a large degree what the industrious, law-abiding negro can produce. In a large degree we must become not only consumers, but producers throughout the south. We must emphasize constantly in the family, in the school, through the public press, the importance of teaching all of our people the dignity and beauty of labor. Not only this, we must remember that a large part of the industrial activity of the south is dependent upon us. We have it, in a large degree, in our control. We shall hold on to our share of the agricultural, mechanical and household work so long as we can prove to the world that we can get as much out of this line of endeavor as other races. The minute we fail to do so, some one else will take the place that we now fill. When we fail to get the most out of the soil, out of mechanics, out of household work, or out of any other occupation, that moment we shall be asked to move on and somebody else will take our places. "We must not only teach the dignity of labor, but impress upon our people thoroughly the importance of being reliable and progressive in their work. Too often the charge is made with truth that the average Negro workman cannot be depended upon for regular and progressive work; that he will labor until he gets a few dollars, and will then spend that in indulgence or riotous living before he returns to his labor. This kind of reputation will damage any race of people." President Wright Robbed. Only one untoward incident marked the opening day. This was a bold robbery committed by a Negro hackman and the fair is $500 the loser. President R. R. Wright, late Monday night, started home in a cab and he had with him $500 in money. The money was in a small handbag. He stopped in town for a few minutes to enter a store and when he came back the hack was gone. He reported the matter to the police, and they are now making an effort to find the Negro driver. It was learned that the hackman drove direct to the stable, where he left his hack and changed it for another. Bishop Turner Grows Emphatic in His Advice to Negroes to Leave This Country and Go to Africa. At the Southwest Georgia Annual Conference, African Methodist Episcopal Church, held in Bainbridge, Bishop Turner, who presided, addressed the conference, saying: "I regret to speak concerning the constant press reports and the feeling that seems to exist between the two races, especially in certain sections of our county. The Atlanta episode a few weeks ago was the greatest misfortune that has ever happened to the two races in this section. It was all the worse for the reason that the better classes in both races looked to Atlanta for intelligence, for bearance. Christianity and race respect, the one for the other. This jargon of bad negroes was no excuse, for there is not a city in this country where the better classes of the two races are more rapidly agreeing to stand for law and order. The riot caused more suffering, wounded feelings and business to be injured, families wrecked for all time among the best people of my race in that city than among all the bad negroes in the south. I have advised the race to go to Africa. The Atlanta trouble is the greatest proof of the wisdom and judgment of my project than anything. In the name of all that is good and righteous what do you see in this country for the black man but constant trouble? He is attempting to do two things, to migrate north and west or often retaliate, either of which has a threatening cloud for the future. The bishops, presiding elders, pastors and our school functionaries are being denounced and criticized for not properly advising, preaching to and teaching the youths properly. Now what can be next if these are not proofs why we should not start to Africa or some other place, then I am the most stupid of men." State Supreme Court So Decides In Decision Just Rendered. Thousands of acres of the most valuable form land in Kansas, together with a large amount of land located in towns and cities of the state, is given to the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway by a decision handed down Saturday by the Kansas supreme court, in the case of that railway company against one Watson. In July, 1866, congress granted to the Union Pacific Railroad company, southern branch, now the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway company, a right of way 200 feet wide from said railway to the south line of the state, a distance of about 150 miles. Afterwards patents were issued to private persons for land through which the railroad runs without excepting the right of way. The persons holding these patents have treated the right of way as being only 100 feet wide. In some cases valuable improvements have been made by them on the outer fifty feet on each side of the railway track and they have occupied the land without disturbance for many years. The railroad company brought suit to oust these occupants, and the court now decides in its favor. Among the larger places touched by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway are White City, Council Grove, Emporia, Burlington, Chanute, Parson, Oswega and Chetopa. EASY JOB FOR LONE BANDIT. Highwayman Performs Daring Work in Chicago, Alta. Train on Chicago and Alton Train. A lone robber, heavily masked, boarded the rear sleeper of the east-bound combination Chicago and Alton train No. 44 between Slater and Glasgow, Mo., shortly after midnight Saturday night, robbed the passengers of $65 and escaped in the darknes. Arizona Against Joint Statehood. Joint statehood for Arizona and New Mexico got a fair majority in New Mexico Territory, but Arizona voted so strongly against the measures that the adverse plurality is not less than 10,000. Crop of 1906 Will Be in Neighborhood of 2,081,096,000. The preliminary returns to the crop estimating board of the department of agriculture, at Washington, according to a bulletin issued Saturday, shows the production of corn in 1906 to be 2,081,096,000 bushels, or an average of 30.2 bushels to the acre, as compared with an average yield of 28.8 bushels estimated in 1905. It is estimated that about 40.4 percent of the corn crop of 1905 was still in the hands of the farmers on November 1, 1906. THE ONLY SOLUTION Of Race Problem is Importation of White Settlers Attending Immigration Convention in Nashville—Resolutions Adopted, Governor Heyward of South Carolina Placed at Head A Nashville special says: The Southern Quarantine and Immigration convention, which at noon Tuesday assumed its news title of Southern Immigration and Industrial Association concluded its business at the night meeting, the closing session being devoted to the reading of several papers on pertinent topics. The report of the committee on quarantine, which was adopted draling the day, advocated that the conference take no action in advising transfers of maritime quarantines to the federal government by those states that have not already made transfers, it being the sense of the committee that each state should be left at liberty to act as it sees fit. With the mater of quaranine elmilated, the conference devoted its time almost entirely to a discussion of the immigration problem. Under this head the race question early took prominence and did not receive its uqietus until the convention adjourned Tuesday night. The sentiment of the delegates is largely in favor of welcoming any desirable class of,white immigrants, without regard to nationality, yet there appeared at times some desire to keep the black man, with all his faults, where he is. Possibly the most distinctive step by the convention to wards the securing of a proper proportion of the arriving immigrants for the southern states was the recommendation by the convention that the governors of all the southern states be requested to recommend the immediate establishment of bureaus of immigration. John Sharp Williams, in a letter read to the delegates, offered a solution of the ubiquitous race problem in the suggested formation of a company with a capital of one million dollars to buy lands in southern states and sell it on time to desirable immigrants. He recommended the establishment of a rural mounted police for the apprehension of the criminal element of the negro. An attempt was made at the afternoon session to reconsider the action by which the convention decided to meet next year at Birmingham, but although a spirited fight was put up by the South Carolina delegation which sought to gain the convention for Charleston, the convention declined to reopen the matter. Although the convention concluded its business late Tuesday night, nearly all of the delegates spent Wednesday in Nashville, as the guests of the citizens. The following are the new officers of the association: President—Governor D. C. Heyward of Columbia, S. C. Secretary-Treasurer-Dr. J. R. McMullen of Gadsen, Dr. Vice Presidents—Alabama, Franklin Y. Anderson, Birmingham; Arkansas, G. B. Tucker, Little Rock; North Carolina, D. A. Tompkins, Charlotte; Virginia, W. N. Ruffin, Danville; Florida, Edmund Brobston, Jacksonville; Louisiana, Dr. C. H. Irion, New Orleans, Maryland, Charles E. Redeker, Odonton; South Carolina, J. C. Hemphill, Charleston; Georgia, H. H. T. Tiften; Kentucky, F. W. Vogel; Texas, T. J. Anderson, Houston; Oklahoma, Jesse Dunn, Oklahoma City; Mississippl, A. S. Kyle, Batesville; District of Columbia, M. V. Richards, Washington, Tennessee, Leland Hume, Nashville. The committee on organization recommended that the association be continued as a permanent organization to be known as the Southern Immigration and Industrial Association, its object being to exercise an educational and supervisory influence over matters pertaining to immigration. WOMAN'S ASSAILANT CAUGHT. Negro Lodged in Atlanta Jail to Await Trial for Heinous Crime. Early Tuesday morning a brutal criminal assault was made on Mrs. J. N. Camp, at her home on Cascade avenue, some three miles from Atlanta, between West End and East Point, by Joe Glenn, a negro man, 30 years of age. The negro was captured soon afterward by county policemen, carried before his victim and identified by her, after which he was hurried to the Fulton county jail, where he will remain until tried for his heinous crime. Brings Forth Numerous Protests from All Parts of the South—Balk A Washington special says: As the result of numerous complaints of delayed mail from the superintendents of the southern divisions, the postoffice department has taken the matter up for investigation with a view to taking immediate steps toward remedying the situation. These complaints, coming in from all parts of the south, are more numerous than they have ever been before. Delays of mail trains are not only getting more and more frequent, but they are longer, resulting in more often missing connections. The letters and reports which have reached the department within the last few weeks have opened the eyes of the officials to conditions which they hardly dreamed could exist. As a result the postoffice department has taken hold of the matter and put the railroads formally on notice that a compliance with the mail contracts will be exacted. To meet these very conditions the postoffice department issued a formal order on August 3 last, and it is this order which the railroads are now put on notice will be enforced. The order is as follows: "Office of the Postmaster General, Washington, D. C., August 3, 1906.—Order No. 1131. The act making appropriations for the postal service for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907, provides: "That the postmaster general shall require all railroads carrying the malls under contract to comply with the terms of sald contract, as to time of arrival and departure of sald malls, and it shall be his duty to impose and collect reasonable fines for delay, when such delay is not caused by unavoidable accidents or conditions" "It is therefore ordered, that every railroad company operating a route over which mails are carried shall, on the regular affidavit covering failures to submit promptly at the end of each quarter to the respective division superintendents, railway mail service, show in addition to and separate from such mail train failures, the number of minutes late of each arrival (not time of arrival) of every train carrying mail which has reached the terminus of said route, the terminus of such trains run, or any intermediate point designated by the postmaster general and of which the company shall have notice, thirty or more minutes late as many as ten times during the quarter, the extent, cause in detail, and place of each delay being given. "This order supersedes that of October 2, 1905. "W. S. SHALLENBERGER, As is well known, the government is now paying the Southern railway and connecting lines an annual subsidy of $195,000 for carrying the mail on fast schedule from New York to New, Orleans. The postmaster general holds that this train is intended not only to carry the mail directly along the line, but it is for connections as well, and the department proposes to see to it that these connections are made. The department proposes to see to it that other lines shall deliver the mail promptly and make their connections as called for in their contracts, or suffer the penalty. The protest has become so vigorous that the department finds itself forced to take stringent measures to remedy the evil, and it proposes to do so. Attention is further called to the fact that the department will make heavy fine of the railroad companies for each mail train that reaches the terminus of the route, the terminus of its run, or any intermediate point designated by the postmaster general, thirty or more minutes late as many as ten times in a quarter without satisfactory excuse. LICENSE ALREADY REVOKED. Mutual Life Insurance Company Barred from Kentucky. At Lexington, Ky., Friday attorneys representing the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, secured from the Franklin county circuit clerk an Injunction directed to State Insurance Commissioner Prewitt, restraining the commissioner from revoking the license of the company to do business in Kentucky.

The rich blessing of unconscious health, the joy of wholesome work, that brings wholesome rest and wholesome appetite, are the natural rewards of this outdoor occupation. Nearness to nature, nearness to God, a truer philosophy, a keener human sympathy, higher ideals, greater individuality, will ever be stamped upon the life and character of the country home. The new agriculture, the new education, new inventions, will give added interest, larger profits, greater certainty of success. They will lighten its burdens, widen its sphere, and ultimately make agriculture the most desirable of all avocation. P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President. CHARLES E. STEWART.

That we pay our claims promptly can be testified to by the thousands of our satisfied members. Liberal Terms and Commission. NEGRO JUDGE WAS ELECTED. Got in While Scramble Was On and Howl is New Raised. Chicago is just awakening to a realization of what it means to have a neuro judge, and the bowl of protest gained in volume when it was announced that Frederick D. Barnett, the judge in question, would not be assigned exclusively to the trial of cases involving persons of his own race. "This is not a 'jim Crow' court," declared Chief Justice Olson, of the new municipal court. "I shall assign Judge Barnett where I think he will do the most good." Barnett was elected to a two-year term as municipal judge as a Republican, despite the fact that he ran 34,000 votes behind the next lowest candidate on that ticket. It is said that Thomas Lantrey (Democrat), who lacked only 495 votes of defeating Barnett, will demand a recount. Barnett was scratched by the Republicans but managed to squeeze in on the Republican landslide because the others failed to bunch their ballots for any one of the Democratic candidates.

ADDRESS "Nightingale wool, in a garden green, The loveliest rose that ever was seen, And he sang for her, with his wilding art, The tranquil plaint of a wistful heart. "Dearest nightingale," said the little rose, "Such a wonderful gift your songs disclose, That I long for this world to share with me. The magical charm of your melody." The nightingale thrilled with a joyous praise As he flow to the stropes tar and wide— And plaintive and tender and sweet he sang. Till the whole green earth with his praises rang. But the rose no echo nor tidiness knew. And paler and frailer each day she grew; Yet, bravely she answered the jeering rain— "Nay!ush! for my love will come back again." When the first wild joy of his song was spent. The middling back to the garden welt: "Dear rose, I have brought you my fame" he said. But no answer came for the rose was seen. Book in hand, Master Dunton paused abruptly in his task of pronouncing the words, and for a moment glared along the row of boys and girls who were "tooing the line" on the floor of a country schoolhouse one afternoon some sixty years ago. Then he spoke in a tone of deep displeasure: "This is a pretty, piece of work! Not half the words put out yet, and everybody has missed, except Georgie Dole, and he is the youngest of all! I won't hear such a lesson! Go back to your seats and take your spelling-books! I'm going to give you fifteen minutes to study. It will be the first time-to-day for some of you. Then I will call the class again, and the very first one that makes a mistake shall be punished!" The exact form of the threatened punishment was not specified; but that was not at all necessary. Everybody knew. Punishment at that time and place did not mean copying verses, or loss of recess, or being kept after school, or even marks—except such as might be left temporarily on some smarting palm by, the heavy ruler that lay on the master's desk. Master Dunton was a teacher of no little local fame. It was well understood that he was "a master hand" at figures, could set a copy almost as pain as print, knew all the rules of grammar by heart, although he was not unduly hampered by them in conversation, and could parse anything in Pope's "Essay on Man," or in "Paradise Lost." Perhaps his greatest lack, educationally speaking, was in spelling. But as the spelling in schools of that day was oral, and as he could always have the book before him when hearing the lessons, his weakness in that respect was hardly worth considering. His special claim to distinction, however, came from 'his "government." There was no school in all the country round too hard for him to "keep it out;" no boy, however bad or big, that dreded to dispute his authority. At the appointed time the first class in spelling was again called, and its members came straggling forward, elbowing one another into place. The long row, as finally arranged, was graduated according to achievement, rather than height. At the head was stationed Georgie Dole, the minister's ten-year-old son, who seldom missed and never misbehaved, while at the foot towered Joseph Niles, a bravvy youth who generally missed, and who by his conduct doubtless deserved the frequent chastisements that fell to his lot. It was evident that the allotted fifteen minutes had been well spent, and the first two journeys of the spelling lesson down the line passed without accident. All the words that had been put out before had now been taken care of, but there remained the as yet untried portion of the lesson. "Victuals!" shouted the master, turning to Georgie at the head of the class. But instead of piping back the prompt reply expected, Georgie hesitated, blushed, and rolled his big blue eyes round wildly, as if he had been taken by surprise. "Victuals," repeated the master, glancing at the book, and wondering at the delay. Then Georgie, after apparently searching his memory, ventured cautiously, "V-i-c-t-u-a-l-s," "victuals." "Wrong!" cried the master, in a tone of dismay. Then, forgetting in his astonishment to pass the word to the next, he asked sorrowfully, "Why, George, how came you to make such a mistake?" "If you please, sir," faltered George, "i didn't see that word in the sporting-book." "Didn't see it!" roarcd Master Duntor, his mood changing at once. "Wasn't it right there before your eyes—second word, third column? What do you mean by such a prevarication as that?" Just then a knock at the door diverted the strained attention of the school, 'and Mr. Dole, the minister, who was also school committeeman, was ushered into the room. He at once discovered that his son was in trouble; for Georgie, although he was a brave little fellow and did not fear a whipping, had completely broken down at the sound of that word "prevarication." Answering the minister's look of inquiry, Master Dunton explained the situation. "Ah, yes, missed on 'victuals,' you say," said Mr. Dole, glancing over the master's shoulder at the book. "How did he spell it?" "Tell your father how you spelled it, Georgie," said Mr. Dunton. "V-l-c-t-u-a-l-s!" sobbed the boy. "Indeed; and how should it be spelled, Mr. Dunton?" "Why, v-l-t-a-l-s!" answered the master, in a tone of surprise. "There it is in the speller," he added, offering the book. "Suppose you look up the word in your dictionary," suggested Mr. Dole, quietly, pointing to a small and seldom-used book that lay upon the desk. Master Dunton was puzzled. Could it be that the minister, learned man though he was; presumed to cast a doubt upon the spelling-book? But he began to turn over the pages of the dictionary, and at last he announced, rather pompously, "Here it is; 'v-i-t-a-l-s, victuals—the parts essential to life.' Nothing could be plainer than that." "Now will you look it up the way Georgie spelled it?" asked Mr. Dole, with a twinkle in his eye. The master's face fell, and he renewed his search, with a secret fear at his heart. This time there was, no note of triumph in his voice as he spelled out, "V-i-c-t-u-a-l-s—food for human beings." Then he turned again to the other word, stared at it a moment, shut the book, and pronounced his verdict: "Georgic is right, and I have made a stupid, inexcusable mistake." "The best of us are liable to mistake," said the minister, reassuringly. take," said the minister, reassuringly. Master Dunton made no reply, but walking deliberately to the desk, he took up the birch ruler. "Joseph Niles," he said, solemnly, "will you step this way?" "I won't doing anything!" protested Joseph. "No, I am the one to be punished this time, and I must call on you, as the oldest and largest scholar, to attend to it," and the teacher handed the rule: to the unwilling Joseph. "I don't want to do it, Mr. Dunton," said Joseph, with a look of grief such as he had never shown when called upon to take the subordinate part in the performance. "I do not like to punish, either," said the master, "but what of that? It is often my duty. Now I must be punished for my good and the good of the school. What did I say would happen to the first one who should make a mistake? Would you have my promise broken? I cannot carry it out myself, but you must help me." So saying, he held out his palm, and Joseph, not knowing, how to refuse, let the ruler fall lightly upon it. "That is not the way that I have taught you," said the master, smiling grimly. "Lay on, Joseph!" And the stalwart youth, thus urged, warmed to his work, and finally did full justice to his training. "Perhaps that will do," said Mr. Dunton, at last, withdrawing his afflicted hand and rubbing it gently with the other. "I thank you, Joseph. And now we will proceed with the lesson." He looked round for the minister, but that worthy man had slipped out of the door, perhaps in deference to the teacher's feelings. But that was hardly necessary. Master Dunton was conscious of no loss of dignity as he resumed his autocratic sway. "Youth's Companion. JEWISH LANDOWNERS. In Europe They Hold 248 Times as Much as They Did 40 Years Ago. The anti-Jew faction in Ruesla declares that even with the present restrictions the Jews have managed to acquire a large portion of land, for which the following figures are quoted in the Jewish magazine, the Menorah: "Within the Pale the real estate of the Jews advanced from 16,000 dessiatins in 1850 to 148,000 in 1870, 370,000 in 1880, 537,000 in 1890, and to 1,265,000 in 1900. "In the kingdom of Poland the Jews held 16,000 dessiatins in 1860, 148,000 in 1870, 370,000 in 1880, 537,000 in 1890, and 1,265,000 in 1900. "In European Russia outside the Pale Jewish landholding is said to have increased 248 times in forty years in the following proportion: In 1860, 3000 dessiatins; in 1870, 18,000 dessiatins; in 1880, 96,000 dessiatins; in 1890, 262,000 dessiatins, and in 1900, 745,000 dessiatins." According to these statistics the total holding of the Jews throughout the Russian Empire, which only amounted to 70,000 dessiatins in 1860, reached in 1500 the high figure of 2,381,057 dessiatins, out of which the Jews own as their property 1,445,000 dessiatins, while the remaining 925,000 dessiatins are rented by them as tenants. Half Truths. A small brain that works is of more use than a massive intellect that balks. Rest assured that most of your stray ideas have com over a neighbor's fence. A naked truth offends the most sacred prejudices of society. The domestic service problem is the pig in the clover problem—first to get the domestics into the circle, then to keep them there.

NEW IDEAS in TOILETTES M New York City.—Every style of Eton is in vogue for immediate wear, and will continue to be so for many weeks to come. Here is an absolutely novel model that includes the becoming and-favorite Tuxedo collar; while it also is made with applied box pleats that give a most becoming ef- ROSE fect. In the illustration smoke gray velling is stitched with belding silk and trimmed with a velvet collar of the same color and handsome buttons, little frills of the lace finishing the sleeves, but the model is equally well suited to all seasonable materials. It can be utilized for the light weight wools: pongees and the like of 1 between seasons' wear, and also for cloth and the heavier goods of the autumn. The scalloped edges of the sleeves are an especially noteworthy feature and make an effect that is as pretty as it is new. The Eton is made with fronts and side-fronds, backs and side backs. The pleats are separate and are applied over the seams, terminating in scalloped edges slightly below the jacket. The neck is finished with the roll-over collar and the closing is made in double breasted style. The sleeves are moderately full, box pleated at their lower edges to harmonize with the Eton, and are gathered at the arms' eyes. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three yards twenty-seven, one and five-eighth yards forty-four or one and a half yards fifty-two inches wide with one-half yard of velvet. Design For Embroidery. The delicate blossom of that pest of the farmer, Queen Anne's lace, is a charmingly graceful design for embroidery, and it is especially pretty developed in white and the delicate shades of green natural to stems and leaves. For dressy frocks are lace-like buttons with delicate enamelled flowers thereon. Lingerie For Sleeves. Lingerie effects still hold for chemisettes and sleeve ruffles, and add the essential touch of whitenear the face. Little Buffles Appear. Little ruffles each side of the front pleat are appearing on some of the new lingerie blouses. This fad does not extend to the tailored waists, however, which are more severe than ever. Three-Piece Skirt. The skirt made with a circular flounce takes absolutely graceful lines and is consequently well liked. This one has an added advantage of including a full length front gore that gives an effect of height and slenderness to the figure. In the illustration, smoke gray velling is simply stitched with belding silk, the flounce being finished with three small tucks in which cords are inserted, but it is possible to suggest a great many variations. All the materials that can be, tucked with success are appropriate, and that means a great many, as almost every fashionable fabric designed for indoor wear is soft and thin. If the cords in the tucks are not desired they can be left plain, or if a still more elaborate effect is wanted there can be trimming of braid, or appliqué used above them, while the front gore can always be trimmed in some distinctive fashion or can be made of all over lace or similar material. The skirt is cut with the front ```markdown ``` gore, the circular portions and the flounce. The circular portions are tucked well over the hips and the front gore is cut with extensions to flounce depth that are laid over onto the flounce, forming a pleat at each side. The flounce itself is circular, and is seamed to the edge of the side and back gores. The quantity of material required 3 for the medium size is seven and a quarter yards twenty-seven, five and a half yards forty-four or fifty-two inches wide. for the medium size is seven and a quarter yards twenty-seven, five and a half yards forty-four or fifty-two inches wide. Danger of Overexertion of the Brain Pointed Out by a Specialist. "The brain is man's most faithful friend and would be man's best companion if he understood it better," said a prominent specialist. "I use the word brain to comprehend what we term the mind and the process of thinking, and not as a physical object or a medium which directs our actions or through which we, or the animate spirit, directs us, just as theorists please to take it—we will not look upon it as a thing with which we may hold communion and proceed upon that hypothesis. "On the stage the prize idiot in the cast, usually a young nobleman or a dude, always raises a laugh when with a vacant stare and set features he speaks his lines about the effort of thinking and the wearying effect such mental process produces upon his physical being. He usually speaks a greater truth than either he or the audience takes in, for thinking is an effort, be the thought in itself ever so frothy and ephemeral, and could we lessen the process of thought at will, as an engineer applies the air brakes to his train, much of the trouble and disease in life would vanish like the meadow vapor before the rays of the rising sun. "It is this impossible process entirely to still what is called the thinking process which is one of the most interesting studies of the specialist, for it is, plainly speaking, the inability of the individual to eliminate certain thoughts, or a certain thought, from the brain cells, or to still it into inactivity, which fills the insane asylums, produces nervous wrecks in other individuals and causes trouble, confusion and chaos all around in everyday life. "Persons to whom this fact appeals should endeavor to take their own brain into communion with their own selves; to set it up as another person, with whom they may hold converse, and the objective and subjective mind admits of this through conscious action, and in some happy and fortunate individuals through unconscious action. "A little practice will make this possible to the student, though his progress will be by degrees and not in one jump. He should first understand that thinking is largely a matter of habit; that the brain is one of the most willing organs in his body at his command, and, honest and faithful as it is to him, will respond to his calls upon it. He should therefore give it as much needed rest as possible by the process of sleep, and during waking hours by not calling upon it for thought except when necessary. The average person will put in a tremendous amount of unnecessary thought effort upon the simplest everyday matter of life. "Again, he will allow his objective mind to cling to one, or several thoughts with persistent tenacity. In this event he wears out particular cells of his best friend, and where this habit is maintained he often becomes a nuisance to his friends and family$^{c}$ by developing into what is termed a 'crank;' and at times he exhausts these same cells in this manner and lands in the asylum. "Most people use their brains too much, either in utter idle waste or in overconcentrated work, and when their best friend begins to show a mild resentment by showing signs of fatigue they ply it with stimulants which science or the distillery have placed at their disposal. Even under these mean circumstances the brain, disgusted though it is with such shabby treatment, goes on doing the best it can for its owner until temporary insensibility, insanity, or death ensues. "It will be found that co-operation with the brain in the process of stilling thought is not as difficult as would be supposed, for the brain will remain quiescent if you will only permit, and become strengthened thereby, just as it will respond to the limit of exhaustion when called upon. This theory is very easily evolved into successful practice, and I commend it to men of active minds, especially professional men, for it will be found to lessen nervous tension, soothe the temper, promote the appetite and produce good nature in otherwise nervous, touchy and disagreeable people." — Washington Star.

This section is about 4000 miles long, and starts from Vigo, In Spain, and ends at Walfsch Bay, Demaraland. The first section from Emden to Vigo, a distance of 2099 miles, was laid ten years ago. Attention has been called to the fact that in evaporating gold or silver solution in a porcelain basin, a considerable amount of gold or silver may be absorbed by the porcelain itself. In the manufacture of chloride of gold it is customary to grind up all of the porcelain evaporating basins, from which some of the deficiency is recovered. Recent experiments by medical experts in lione have disclosed the fact that the increase in consumption and contagious diseases of a similar character is due to flies, just as the spread of malaria is due to certain kinds of mosquitoes. It is planned to kill flies by means of inoculated diseases, and it has also been suggested that money prizes be given for destroying a certain quantity. A new foghorn signal has been installed in the lighthouse at The Needles. It consists of reed trumpets blown by compressed air. It can be heard ten miles. This is a distinct advance on the existing fogbull, the warning note from which does not penetrate more than three miles. When a fog descends, the new apparatus can be started instantaneously from air vessels held in readiness and charged at one hundred pounds' pressure. The duration of the blast is five seconds in every fifteen. An ingenious apparatus for drawing the profile of a river bottom is used by Italian engineers. It consists of a wheel affixed to the bottom of a graduated rod, which is fastened vertically at the side of a boat in such a manner that as the boat advances up or down or across stream, the wheel at the end of the rod runs continually upon the bottom, the rod rising and falling with variations of level. By noting the depth at chosen intervals of time, the elements are obtained for tracing an accurate representation of all the sinuosities of the bottom of the river, and the variations of depth. In the saving of time this simple apparatus possesses an enormous advantage over the ordinary method of soundings. Proof of His Skill. Frank Miles Day, the well-known architect and essayist, of Philadelphia, stepped carefully from a Persian rug of dull green and old rose to another rug of rich blue, for the polished floor bencath was dark and smooth and slippery, like ice. "Rather a good polish there, I think," said Mr. Day's host, a resident of Rittenhouse Square. "Remarkably good indeed," said Mr. Day. The host just then slipped and nearly fell, and the architect, with a laugh, went on: "A friend of mine has beautiful floors, and the other day he sent for a floor polisher. "I want these floors polished," he said to the man, as he led him about the house. 'They are, you perceive, fine ones. They ought to come out as lustrous as rosewood. Do you think you're capable of doing them justice? Give me some proof of your thorough competence.' "That's casily done, sir," the polisher replied. "You just go and ask Colonel Snow, next door but one, about my work. He'll tell ye. Why, governor, on the polished floor of Colonel Snow's dining room alone five persons got broken limbs last winter, while two ladies slipped down the grand staircase during the Easter week ball, and one dislocated her hip, while the other fractured three ribs. You ask Colonel Snow, sir. I polished that floor and that there staircase of his'n." —Philadelphia Bulletin. Wearied Eyes. In these days of study and sedentary work requiring much use of the eyes, they often become so tired that they refuse to do good work. This is particularly true when the work is done in a poor light, or when it is very fine work. Few eyes will bear such treatment for any great length of time without being spoiled. The question is often asked us, what can be done in such cases? There is one remedy for tired eyes that has great value. It consists in massage with the hand wet in cold or cool water. Fill a basin with it, and standing over it wet the hand with as much water as it will hold and apply it to the eyes, at the same time with the thumb and forefinger giving the eyes a gentle manipulation. Continue the process for four or five minutes several times a day. The results are often almost marvelous PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO. 116 W. St. Julian Street.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1906. OPPRESSION is a unier, unity is strength, strength commands respect. Even now the pessimist sees a boomerang in the immigration movement. Young men be something, do something, and by every honest means try to have something. Among the many of all classes of our citizens, we join our regrets that the Rev. John D. Jordan has decided to leave the city. Such men as Dr. Jordan is a loss to any community. With a certain element in this country grudging and endeavoring in every way to prevent the Negro the ordinary enjoyment of "life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness"; does it surprise any thinking man that the spirit of unrest will at times crop out? The success of the First Colored State Fair now in progress in the City of Macon, showing our progress in civilization in this State for the past forty years, have no doubt awakened the many esrtwhile pessimists among us and believers of eternal damnation to our race among others. At this time when the whole country, puzzled, vexed and enthralled as it is by the hydra-headed bugaboo, the Negro question, with its many more or less minor questions leading thereto, it is quite a refreshing sensation, to pause in the daily hustle, for bare existence as it may individually seem, and take a glance at the situation from our own view point. Force of circumstances, ordinarily considered hard and unusual, have been a prime factor in keeping at a low ebb the natural lethargy that follow discouraged efforts. Be of good cheer. Our onward march is upward. Having no standard of our own, we are measured by the standard of our neighbor, with no handicap for difference in opportunities. If any man doubts there being good to come out of the "Sons of Ham," let him go to Macon and see. THE FAIR A SUCCESS. Many Exhibits and Large Attendance. The first colored State Fair ever held in Georgia opened on Monday morning last under a most auspicious occasion. A large number of visitors were in the city and along with the attendance of the citizens of Macon the fair grounds were crowded by afternoon. Prof Booker T. Washington was present and delivered an excellent address that touched the responsive chord of all of his hearers. He was introduced by President Wright Revs. C T. Waker, of Augusta and W. G. Johnson, and others spoke. At the opening of the fair many exhibits were in place. At that time about five car loads were not delivered, and were not placed in position until Thursday. These exhibits were fine ones. The ladies exhibit of fancy work, etc., in the art building was a picture to behold and received the heartiest commendation of all who saw it. The agricultural display showed up well. Several of the counties had many exhibits. Many unique ones were in evidence. The inventive geniuses were there. The automobile man, who built every part of his machine, wood and the mechanical parts, had it working to the delight of the spectators. Mr. Jackson of this city, had a miniature engine, which showed up well. Mr. H. J. Jordan of Fort Valley has a fine display of tinware, made by himself. He has also on display a complete acteyline plant, making his own light. This exhibit attracted much attention. In fact all of the exhibits are commendable ones and space alone forbids a personal allusion. The live stock exhibits are up to the standard and showed what our people are doing along this line. There are amusements galore. Many concessions for amusements weregiven and the speilers are in their glory in the afternoons and at nights when the crowds were the largest. The balloon ascension in the afternoons and the fire works at nights were among the features. The K. of P's., took an active part in the success of the Fair. The parade on Monday was a creditable one. This parade was headed by the staff officers, followed by the several companies and carriages. This was followed by a business display, which was very creditable The parade was a long one and admired by everybody who saw it Another parade of the Uniform Rank was made on Tuesday which terminated with an exhibition drill. There were special features for each day Yestersday and to-day are booked as big days. To morrow there will be a religious congress and Monday will be the final day. At this time the awards will be given. President Wright and his as sistants labored hard to make the Fair a success. Many Savannahian are in attendance. The daily papers and the white citizens were loud in praise of the Fair even more successful than the recent white Fair. Sunday Club. The meeting of the Men's Sunday Club to the surprise of all has flourished beyond expectation. The Sunday meetings are well attended and the interest in the program continues. Sunday November the 4th, Dr. N. W. Ete addressed the Club on "The deterring effects of alcohol on the human body." After describing the general outline of the human body denoting the organs and their function, the speaker explained the effects alcohol has in curtailing and handicapping these organs to proforming their work. The paper was one of the best ever presented to the Club. Sunday November 11th, a very enjoyable song service was entered into Then Dr. Lloyd, vice president, spoke briefly on the importance of having principles of our own. He also said we should look to our own men as having accomplished something. When you think of medicine think of Dr. Daniel Williams of Chicago. When you speak of art refer to H. O. Lanner. When you think of music point to Cotridge Taylor. When you think of scholars refer to Bwen and O ogman of Atlanta and Wright of Sa annah. It is necessary for us to show our children that Negro men have accomplished great things and even if they are Negroes they too can do as well as white children. To morrow November 18 h, we expect to have Rev. R. W Thomas cf Waynesboto Ga., with all persons who to k enveloper on Prof. F A. Curtright during he summer will please return them wih money in them. If you have misplaced the envelopes bring the money and the same shall be sent to the Reformatory at Macon. Ministerial Dots.

MATILDA BORMAN MYRTLE MILLS RHEUMATISM CURED The Circulation Stimulated and the Muscles and Joints lubricated by using Sloan's Liniment Price 25c 50c & $1.00 Sold by all Dealers "Sloan's Treatise On The Horse" Sent Free Address Dr.Earl S.Sloan,Boston,Mass. Every mother possesses information which is of vital interest to her young daughter. Too often this is never imparted or is withheld until serious harm has resulted to the growing girl through her ignorance of nature's mysterious and wonderful laws and penalties. Girls' over-sensitiveness and modesty often puzzle their mothers and baffle physicians, as they so often withhold their confidence from their mothers and conceal the symptoms which ought to be told to their physician at this critical period. When a girl's thoughts become slug- gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis- position to sleep, pain in back or lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude; when she is a mystery to herself and friends, her mother should come to her sid, and remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will at this time prepare the system for the coming change, and start this trying period in a young girl's life without pain or irregularities. Hundreds of letters from young girls and from mothers, expressing their gratitude for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has accomplished for them, have been received by the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., at Lynn, Mass. Miss Mills has written the two follow- ing letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which will be read with interest: Dear Mr. Pinkham: — (First Letter.)

Dear Myrtle, (Second Letter.) "It is with the feeling of utmost gratitude that I write to you to tell you what your valuable medicine has done for me. When I wrote you in regard to my condition I had consulted several doctors, but they failed to understand my case and I did not receive any benefit from their treatment. I followed your advice, and took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and an now healthy and well, and all the distressing symptoms which I had at that time have disappeared."—Myrtle Mills, Quawak, Ill.

AWFUL SUFFERING From Dreadful Pains From Wound on Foot-System All Run Down-Miraculous Cure by Cuticura. "Words cannot speak highly enough for the Cuticura Remedies. I am now seventy-two years of age. My system had been all run down. My blood was so bad that blood poisoning had set in. I had several doctors attending me, so finally I went to the hospital, where I was laid up for two months. My foot and ankle were almost beyond recognition. Dark blood flowed out of wounds in many places and I was so disheartened that I thought surely my last chance was slowly leaving me. As the foot did not improve you can readily imagine how I felt. I was simply disgusted and tired of life. I stood this pain, which was dreadful, for six months, and during this time I was not able to wear a shoe and not able to work. Some one spoke to me about Cuticura. The consequences were I bought a set of the Cuticura Remedies of one of my friends, who was a druggist, and the praise that I gave after the second application is beyond description; it seemed a miracle, for the Cuticura Remedies took effect immediately. I washed the foot with the Cuticura Soap before applying the Ointment, and I took the Resolvent at the same time. After two weeks' treatment my foot was healed completely. People who had seen my foot during my illness and who have seen it since the cure can hardly believe in their own eyes. Robert Schoenhauser, Newburgh, N. Y. Aug. 21, 1905."

One of the greatest inventions of the present time is the suction machine for renovating and cleaning hotels, apartment houses, etc. No sweeping is necessary. The power necessary to operate the apparatus is furnished by an engine fitted with a wagon and supplied by means of rubber hose. The dust is forced into the machine by suction, it being possible to clean every part of the room, ceilings, floors, walls, furniture, etc. Up to the present time this machine has been used for large operations only. Now a Chicago inventor has patented a similar machine, which can be used in every household. The power apparatus is stationed in an outhouse or other out-of-the-way place and the renovator, reduced in size so that HANDLE it can be manipulated by anybody. Expert skill is not required. In cleaning the rooms the dust is gathered up in the collector, and when the entire house is cleaned the renovator is taken to the cellar and the dust removed. Its superiority over the ordinary method of sweeping will be at once apparent. Little Susie's Gain. After a week at the seashore, little Susie was being welghed.

The aboriginees of Japan, the hairy Alnus, now number but a few thousand and live on the island of Yezo. Their women tattoo their lips. "The process of tattooing," writes Oliver Bainbridge, "is very primitive and simple and it takes several years to properly decorate a woman's lips, forehead and fingers. Some ash bark is procured and put into a pan to soak for a day or two; then the bark of the birch is burned under the pan until the bottom is well blackened. Next the operator takes a knife, cuts a few dashes into the part to be tattooed, rubs it well with the soot and bathes it carefully with the ash bark liquid. The forehead, hands and arms are only tattooed after marriage." Mr. Bainbridge, who is well known as an "explorer of odd places," spent some time among the hairy Alinus and secured valuable information and many interesting photographs of the queer race.—Chicago Chronicle. Kansas Growing Up. It is a natural thing to ask a man, when introduced to him, what State he came from. The fact is, however, that Kansas is getting to have a big nativeborn population. When the first census was taken in 1860 there were nearly a thousand more people living in Kansas who were born in Missouri than there were who had been born on Kansas soil. Only one-tenth of the people in the State then, including all the babies had been born on Kansas soil. According to the last census, however, there were nearly half the people living in Kansas who were born in the State. By the time the next census is taken two-thirds of the people in the State will be native born—Kansas City Journal. IT'S THE FCOD. The True Way to Correct Nervous Troubles. Nervous troubles are more often caused by improper food and indigestion than most people imagine. Even doctors sometimes overlook this fact. A man says: "Until two years ago waffles and butter with meat and gravy were the main features of my breakfast. Finally dyspepsia came on and I found myself in a bad condition, worse in the morning than any other time. I would have a full, sick feeling in my stomach, with pains in my heart, sides and head. "At times I would have no appetite for days, then I would feel ravenous, never satisfied when I did eat and so nervous I felt like shrieking at the top of my voice. I lost flesh badly and hardly knew which way to turn until one day I bought a box of Grape-Nuts food to see if I could eat that. I tried it without telling the doctor, and liked it fine; made me feel as if I had something to eat that was satisfying and still I didn't have that heaviness that I had felt after eating any other food. "I hadn't drank any coffee then in five weeks. I kept on with the Grape-Nuts and in a month and a half I had gained 15 pounds, could eat almost anything I wanted, didn't feel badly after eating, and my nervousness was all gone. It's a pleasure to be well again." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. There's a renson. GOOD ROADS Construction of Letter Roads. One of the most significant sections in the report of the British Motor Commission refers to the dustraising qualities of automobiles, which, the report states, "has been the source of far more popular indignation than excessive speed or dangerous driving." Unquestionably one of the most vital problems connected with automoboling is the dustless highway, and to secure it is a proposition that demands the most serious attention of our road builders. The British Commission admitted that it could not suggest how the musiance could be alleviated by any alteration in the form of the car, and its deduction was that the remedy existed only in the construction of better roads. It recommended, nevertheless, that all fees accruing from automobiles should be expended in the improvement of existing roads with the particular object of prevention of dust. The automobile, to a great extent, makes the road untenable for cyclists and pedestrians, and we might as well admit the fact without resorting to subterfuge. Of course, the automobile is here to remain, and to become the most general method of transportation for pleasure and commercial purposes, and if the present highway does not answer we must provide a road surface that will meet the new conditions. We shall be pleased to print any comments that careful thinking automobilists may have on this most important subject.—The Automobile. Permanent Stone Roads. Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and many other States have spent vast sums of money in building permanent stone roads. These roads have been a great help to the farmers living near them in reducing very materially the cost of transporting the products of the farm to market. The little State of New Hampshire at the last session of the Legislature enacted a law, largely by the influence of the Grange, appropriating $750,000 to be expended within the next six years in making permanent improvements upon the public highways of the State. The bill was so drawn that a like sum must be appropriated by the several towns, asking for State aid, so that great good must be the result of this movement for better roads in New Hampshire. When we consider the vast sums of money that have been expended by the National Government to improve the waterways of the country by improving the rivers and harbors, and the vast amount of government lands that has been given to corporations to aid in building of great railroad lines to develop the country, is it any wonder that we think that we are asking for nothing but what is just and right when we ask Congress to pass a bill giving national aid to the various States which are willing to appropriate a like sum to assist in the building and maintenance of the public highways. The country roads over which the farmer transports his produce of all kinds are the feeders of the railroads and steamboats and are as justly entitled to national and State aid as they are. Missouri's Convention. At a meeting of the Missouri State Good Roads Convention, held at Chillicothe, Mo., the creation of the office of State highway commissioner was favored, and it was decided to hold the next meeting during the winter of 1906-7, during the session of the State Legislature. The meeting will be held at Jefferson City, the State capital. No permanent organization was formed at Chillicothe, though many prominent good roads men were present at the meeting from more than fifty of the 111 counties o. the State. Various plans for promoting the construction of good roads were discussed, including changes in the mode of taxation and changes in the State constitution. Politics were conspicuously absent from the meeting. Practical talks in the art of road building and road repairs and maintenance methods were given by experts on these 'subjects, and there was a large display of road machinery. A. N. Johnson, highway engineer of Illinois, outlined the road system in operation in his State, stating that though only in operation for a year the system had proved highly satisfactory. Much of his address was devoted to the subject of dirt roads, and he declared that many roads that not now fit to travel on could be made good by dragging. D. Ward King, of Maitland, Mo., inventor of the split log drag, which bears his name, was present. The interest taken by farmers in the good road question was exemplified by the case of John Harrison, who has a farm near Fayette. Mr. Harrison has made a standing offer to contribute $1500 toward the construction of a road passing his farm, stating that he is isolated for four months in the year owing to the impassable state of the roads. The convention finally declared itself in favor of a change in the constitution as a means of road improvement, though it will take two years to bring this about.—The Automobile. THE PULPIT A SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV IRA W. HENDERSON THE FAMOUS. DIVINE. Subject: Personal Experience. stand by the truth revealed to him Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme, "Personal Experience," the Rev. I. W. Henderson, pastor, took as his text Jno. 4:42: "Now we believe, not because of thy saying; for we have heard Him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world." He said: The final proof of the value of the Gospel to the individual lies in personal experience. The one test which, above all others, warrants a man to hall Jesus or to deny Him, is that of real knowledge directly acquired. No man is fit to taunt Christianity as a farce who has not first observed the rules Incidental to the living of the Christ life. He is the best advocate of the beauties of the Christian economy who has been loyal to his Lord's commands. The consensus of Christians is the result of a common experience. We, as citizens of the kingdom of God, hold fast and together certain formulas of faith because we have, each for himself, as individuals, found valuable for us those working principles that we maintain. The church universal represents, in its fundamental dogmas, the optimistic of myriad men who have, through the process of individual experience, reached a common ground of belief. The church catholic is divided upon secondary tenets according to the varieties of secondary Christian religious experience among men who assert allegiance to the central truths. In the broad sense, all of us who believe in and serve Christ, are Christians because we each recognize as a personal experience the truths which Christianity asserts to be fundamental. I am a Presbyterian and you are a Methodist, not because our views are different at the vitals, but because our secondary experiences are unlike. The Christian Church is an aggregation of men who see Jesus with the same eye and who find in Him and in His power in their lives bonds which link them fast. And any sect or denomination of Christians is but the congregation of some of the followers of Christ around a secondary tenet that is alive with their own peculiar doctrine, the result of an individual experience. At the bottom of it all the moving principle is personal experience. No man is a good Christian who has not had contact with Christ. No man can appreciate the genius of Presbyterianism save he who has, had the experience common to all who hold that creed. It is a wise thing for a man who honestly differs from his fellow men; it is a sensible thing for a Christian who earnestly and reasonably disagrees with his fellow followers of Christ; to examine his conclusion—that is to say, his creed, his dogma, his tenets, as you will—and determine whether or no they mirror correctly his personal experiences. But merely because a man finds himself at variance with the world of men about him is no sign that he has misinterpreted his experiences or is wrong. The prophets were persecuted not because they were wrong, but because they framed from the facts at hand conclusions that the Hebrews did not care to admit asenable. Galilee got into trouble because Ptolemaists thought him crazy. The world was called flat until a dauntless soul declared it round. Luther would never have nailed the ninety-five theses to the door of the church at Wittenberg had he not been true to the truth as he saw it. And these men were, as are many men to-day, dead wrong in their beliefs as measured by the standards of the past. The results attained in all departments of knowledge are the outcome of the personal experience of individuals. A scientific law may be the declaration by a single man of truth proven out of the records of his personal experience, unaided and-unverified by the experience of any other man—not infrequently at first it is. But this much is sure: that any law that has the assent of any society is based entirely upon the experiences of individual men who have perceived and been influenced by similar phenomena in their separate lives. All the knowledge that we have and all the laws that we accept at second hand are, at bottom, founded upon the research and personal investigation and experience of some single man or some set of men. To say that we accept many truths at second hand in no way injures our argument. All that we receive upon the assertions of other men is so taken because we have faith in the validity of their conclusions as being the direct result of their personal experiences. Repetition is never so inspiring or convincing as is the dictum of the first source. And the only value that re-satement has is gained from the personal knowledge out of which it springs. By virtue of the multiplicity of the demands on our time we have to rest much of received truth upon the decisions of other men; but, in the providence of God, we may prove accepted truth if we will in the investigation and the delineation of our own personal experiences No man, however, is entitled to affirm or to deny the value of a declared truth unless he has either met to the full the requirements of each condition or accepted the opinion of some original investigator who has fulfilled all incidental demands. How silly it would be for a man, untutored and universed in the sciences, to set up his opinion, without deep and searching investigation, against the declarations of a Darwin, a Tyndall or a Wallace. And on the other hand how unmany it would be for a convinced student, who has, after arduous and painstaking effort, reached conclusions at variance with all the theory of all his masters before him, to finch to state and to stand by the truth revealed to him by God. z If, in the realm of science, experience shall be held to be the test of value of opinion, how much more necessary will it not be in the sphere of the religious life. It is easy for the scoffer to mock at the joys and the comforts of the Christian life. There is no difficulty for the man who really wants to find men who, after half-hearted service and misinterpreted, misunderstood experiences, pronounce the life within Jesus a fraud. But is the cry of the maligner of Christianity legitimate and well based? Has any man a right to disparage a system of living of which he has no experimental knowledge or of which his sole information is unscientific or fraudulent? Which shall be mightier, the testimony of the soul which having fulfilled, the conditions is satisfied and sure, or the tale of woe of the charlatan who never met of the charlatan who never measure? But if it is needful to be rich with experience to deny the grace of the God blessed life, it is still more necessary to be saturated with a deep, Christly, spiritual, personal experience in order to convince others of its value and to enjoy what Beeher called "its privileges and prerogatives." The holy men of Israel knew the beauty of Jehovah and the glory of a life near to Him because they enjoyed and practiced experimental communion with Him. Jesus proclaimed the majesty of the Father and the loveliness of a God-inspired career because He dwelt within the presence of His King. Paul paints the manifold blessings of the Christian life because he was a thoroughgoing Christ-man. The Samaritan woman received Jesus as the prophet for whom her heart longed because she had seen Him face to face. And her brethren from the city believed on Christ since she repeated to them her own short, graphic story concerning the truth she had both heard and seen. There we have it, faith founded on fact and on fact repeated—that is to say, upon personal experience. All preaching and all testimony which strikes home, to the heart is the story of the personal experiences. The first principle of a reaching talk is, to sum it up in a sentence, tell only the facts of life. And if in the telling of the Gospel story and in the application of the truth to the demands and the problems of to-day this element of dead certainty is of such immense importance, who shall deny its insistent necessity in order to the enjoyment and appropriation of the Gospel blessings by the individual. The Christ life must be a live, first-hand, personal experience or it is useless. You may take your food prepared or predigested as you will. You may take your knowledge of the scientific disciplines by role. But no man can know Christ or enjoy a rich and enriching spiritual communion within Him who does not live his life within Jesus for himself. "Now we believe, not because of thy saying; for we have heard Him ourselves and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world," said the men of Sychar. And this is, as in the nature of the case it must be, the testimony of every man who will enter or who has entered into the enjoyment of the "privileges and the prerogatives" of the Christian life. No other method of entrance is so satisfactory. No other testimony from the citizens of the eternal kingdom is so influential and convincing. No other knowledge is so certificating to the intellect. No other evidence is so soul inspiring. Without a vision of the Christ no man may witness worthily for Him. Blessed with a personal experience we may lead the multitudes to God. A Christian who is devold of a personal experience with the presence and the personality of Jesus Christ is a paradox. Strictly speaking there is no such thing as a Christian life apart from the immediate influence of the Lord Jesus. We might as well call a man a sinner and without the pale of the kingdom of God, as we have it in the economy of Jesus, as to call him a "nominal Christian." We speak of nations as nominally Christian because we do not wish to be unkind in our terminology. In reality a nation that is nominally Christian is usually a nation that bears no more resemblance to Christ, His plans, His teachings, His character, than is expressed by the fact that for convenience's sake and for purposes of international differentiation, we so denominate it. The man who hopes to win men with a message that is other than born of a personal and direct inspiration from God Almighty is an anachronism. It may have been possible at some time in the dark ages of history to win men to Christ by hear-say testimony, but it cannot be done to-day. The world wants the message of the eye witness, the report of the man who has heard the truth with his own ears. Humanity desires the testimony of the scientific investigator, the man who has tested the truth and has found it real. "Now we believe—because—we know." This is the gist of the text and the outstanding truth of that joyous Samaritan day. This is the test of faith. A vote of confidence to the Christians who can say it. Joy unspeakable to the sinning man who finds therein salvation for his soul. Everyday Religion. "I have so faced the habit in my own mind," said Stonewall Jackson, that I never raise a glass of water to my lips without asking God's blessing.

The names of fabrics are in many cases derived from the place where they were first manufactured; in order, the name is bestowed in honor of the place where it first became known to commerce, or from the materials composing its texture. Thus the name of muslin is derived from Mosul, in Asia. Cambric $\triangle$ comes from Cambal; gauze from Gaza; baize from Bajac; dimity from Damletta and jeans from Jean. The name damask is an abbreviation of Damascus; satin is a corruption of Zaytown, in China. Velvet is the Italian vellute, wooly, and is traceable further back to the Latin vellus, a hide or pelt. Serge comes from Xerges, the Spanish for a certain sort of blanket. Bandana is derived from an Indian word signifying to blind or tie. Alpaca is the name of a species of llama from whose wool the genuine fabric is woven. Calico is named for Calcuta a town in India, where it was first printed. Blanket bears the name of Thomas Blanket, a famous English clothier, who aided the introduction of woolens into England in the fourteenth century. Different parts of the country have very strongly marked tastes as to the color of cheese. You could not sell at any price in Birmingham a cheese that is in great demand in Coventry, and if you sent some of the kind demanded in Norfolk to Manchester it would at once be returned.

PAXTON CO., Boston, Mass. y Old While Thirty-Eight are Hurt as Result of Collision. VICTIMS ARE CREMATED Frightful Disaster Occurred on Baltimore and Ohio Railway and Was Caused by Blunder of some Employe. More than one-half the passengers on an Immigrant train on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad were killed and injured in a collision Monday between the passenger train and a freight near Woodville, Ind. One hundred and sixty-five passengers were on the train, and of these forty-seven were either killed outright or were burned to death in the fire which broke out in the wreckage immediately after the collision. The names of all the dead will probably never be known, as forty-five of the dead bodies were consumed in the flames or were so badly burned that identification will be out of the question. Thirty-eight people were injured and several of these will die. Eighty others escaped unhurt, but lost nearly all their baggage and clothing. The disaster was caused by a blunder of some employee of the railroad company, but just where the blame lies has not as yet been determined. The passenger train which was loaded with Russian Jews, Servians and Poles, all of them recent arrivals in this country, and bound for Chicago or places in the northwest, was the second section of a through train from Baltimore. The engineer of the freight train, No. 95, on instructions received at McCool, Ind., waited at a siding at Babcock, Ind., to allow the immigrant train to pass. One report is that the engineer of the freight train, had not been informed that the passenger train was running in two sections; the other is that the first section of the passenger train carried no lights or signals of any kind indicating that a second section was close behind. As soon as the first section of the immigrant train had passed the switch at Babcock, the freight train in charge of Engineer Burke and Conductor Moste started eastward. A light snow was falling, which increased the darkness in the early morning, and as the freight was rounding a sharp curve just west of Woodville the second section of the immigrant train came in sight a short distance away, tearing toward Chicago at the rate of 40 miles an hour. The two trains came together with unslackened speed, and in the crash six passenger coaches and several freight cars were knocked into kludling wood, and together with the locomotives, went rolling down a 10-foot embankment. Fire broke out almost immediately in the wreckage, and, although a number of the injured were saved by the desperate efforts of the train crew and surviving passengers, the greater part of those who were pinned down in the debris were burned to death. The flames spread through the wreckage so rapidly that it was impossible to save a number of people who were but slightly hurt, but were held fast by timbers that weighted them down. These were burned in plain sight of the strong which stood around the scene of the disaster utterly unable to lend assistance in any way. The fire continued until all the shattered cars were entirely consumed, and of the forty-seven persons whose death followed the collision, 45 were burned to ashes. Silver Too Costly For Government. The treasury department Monday received offers for the sale of silver to the government at 72 cents per ounce. These offers were rejected and Secretary Shaw stated subsequently that no more silver would be bought at present high prices. BOILER TAKES A FLYER. Engine on California Read Lets Loose and Three Are Killed. Three men were killed by the explosion of an engine on the southbound Sunset Limited train on the Southern Pacific road at Sargeant's Station Sunday night. When the boller exploded the cab was hurled into the station, which was being passed at the time, destroying the structure, and the huge boller, weighing 100 tons, shot forward through the air, striking the track ahead more than 300 feet from no spot where the explosion occurred. ONLY SHIP'S CAT SURVIVED. Every Member of Bark's Crew Found Watery Grave. A special from Richbucto, N. B., states that the wrecked bark Adeona was boarded Saturday for the first time since she went ashore off that past week, and not a single sea-mak was found on the vessel. Only the ship's cat survived. Brings Down to Death Two Policemen and Two Citizens on the Streets of Asheville, N. C. Fighting bravely in defense of their captain, Patrolman Charles Blackstock and William Bailey, two of the most efficient members of the Asheville, N. C., police force, were shot to death on South Main street, late Tuesday night, by a negro, who said that his name was Will Harris of Charlotte, a desperado, for whom a large reward has been outstanding for some time. Prior to the death of the two officers, a negro restaurant keeper named Ben Allison, fell dead at the hands of Harris, who, handling a rifle, killed him without provocation. Another negro named Tom Neil lies mortally wounded, he, too, being shot before the officers took a hand in the melee. Harris started out on his deathdealing tour from a negro house on Valley street. He fired into two houses as he made his way to South Main street, one of the principal streets of the city. As he reached Eagle street he fired at and wounded the restaurant man, Allison. On South Main street the desperado encountered Tom Neil and fired point blank at him. The noise of the shooting caused Captain Page and Officers' Bailey and Blackstock to start from police headquarters on the run, blowing their whistles as they went. Bailey took his stand at the head of South Main street and the court house square, leaving his captain and Blackstock to go on ahead. Captain Page met the negro in the center of Main street, the former receiving a bullet in the arm from the negro's rifle. The wounded captain called upon Blackstock to fire, but before the officer could do so, he fell dead with a bullet in the chest. Harris then started on a run for the square, where Patrolman Bailey was waiting for him. Bailey fired twice, but missed his man, the negro, turning his rifle on the officer, sent a bullet crashing through the latter's brain. The officer lived but a few minutes after he fell. The negro then ran down South Main street toward the Biltmore estate, where he took refuge. The greatest excitement followed the killing of the officers. A general fire alarm was turned in by the chief of police, for the purpose of calling out the militia companies, and several posses quickly formed to take up the pursuit of the murderer. The store of the Asheville Hardware company was broken into by police officers, and the posses were armed with winchester rifles and shotguns. RUSS GENERAL'S INTRIGUE Was Author of Bluff Attempt on His Own Life to Save His Scale. General Rheinbot, at whom a bomb was thrown in Moscow, Russia, Monday, has received hundreds of messages, including a personal communication from Emperor Nicholas, through Premier Stolypin, and a dispatch from Count Witte, congratulating him upon his escape. In spite of these congratulations, which give color to the official version of the attempt on the prefect's life, there are ugly rumors in Moscow that General Rheinbot was himself the author of the plot against his own life. He is thought to have schemed to retrieve his sinking fortunes and to stave off retirement, it having been decided upon in official circles to relieve him from duty. ALLEGED RIOTERS SET FREE. Eight Men Accused of Participating in Atlanta Trouble Not Tried. Eight out of the eleven men indicted for participating in the rioting in Atlanta on the night of September 22nd had their cases not pressed in the city criminal court. After the trial of Sherman Carr, who was acquitted last week, the officers asked that the other cases be dismissed because against none of them did they have any better evidence than against Carr. This still leaves some fifteen rioting cases on the docket to be tried. CADETS MUST "COUGH UP." Students of Military and Naval Colleges to Pay Full Railroad Fare. As the result of the passage of the railroad rate bill, the cadets of both the military and naval academies who have heretofore been transported by the railroad companies to the annual football game between these two schools without charge, will, in the future, have to pay their own fares. The war department, after a full investigation of the matter, decided that it was illegal for the offer to be tened or accepted. PAPA'S LIQUOR WAS DEADLY. A Saloon Keeper's Little Daughter Drinks Vile Stuff and Dies. A six-year-old daughter of James Cannon, a saloon keeper at Hopkinsville, Ky., drank four ounces of whiskey from a bottle she found on the mantel and died shortly afterward of alcohol poisoning. The little girl became unconscious immediately after drinking the liquor anqd physicians who labored with her for twenty hours were not able to save her life. TO OBTAIN CHARTER For Big Organization of Cotton Men in the South. MANY MILLIONS CAPITAL Meeting Hold in Atlanta to Formulate Plans for Holding Fleecy Staple for Intrinsic Value—Details to Be Perfected. After holding two executive sessions at the Piedmont hotel in Atlanta, Friday, it was stated that the members of the executive committee of the Southern Cotton Association had taken definite steps toward the organization of the Southern Cotton Company and a charter adopted authorizing a capital of $10,000,000 with the privilege of increasing this amount to $100,000,000. While the meetings were all executive, it was stated that the members of the executive committee were enthusiastic in regard to the new plan of organizing a great corporation of southern men for the purpose of protecting the price of cotton and by buying all cotton offered at less than 10 cents, establish a strong market such as would do away with every effort and influence of speculators to depress the price of, cotton and bring the 'staple to a price corresponding to the demand. It was also stated that President Jordan would call a meeting of the committee at Birmingham some time in January, the exact date to be announced later. A delegation from Birmingham visited the committee and offered such inducements for the holding of the next meeting in Birmingham that the offer was accepted. At this same time a big convention of the Southern Cotton Association will be held the same as that held in New Orleans. Announcement was also made that the present low price of cotton was considered at the meeting and all of the members present stated that immediately upon their return they would do all in their power to get growers to hold their cotton for 10 cents or better. By this means and influencing others to make every effort to stop the sale of all cotton at any price lower than 10 cents and by means of the fact that the Southern Cotton Company had been organized, the committee members stated that they were of the belief that the price could soon be brought back to figures commensurate with the actual worth of the staple according to the demand of the consumers. With the organization of this company it is the purpose to offer stock at $5 per share in order that the proposition may be within the reach of everyone. Further details regarding the organization have been placed in the hands of committees which will make their reports in the near future, when further information regarding the proposition will be announced to the public. In the consideration of the present crop, it was reported that according to the estimate of the members of the executive committee, this crop would amount to 11,146,000 bales and that the estimate recently published according to the ginners' report was purely for the purpose of influencing the market and evidently very much exaggerated. A resolution was passed asking congress to enact such laws as would prohibit the speculation in cotton futures in the United States. The following resolution by W. H. Seymour, of Alabama, was also passed unanimously: "Resolved, that it is the sense of this meeting that cotton producers in the several cotton states use their utmost endeavors in securing the passage of a law by the next legislatures of their respective states requiring ginners to make weekly reports to the state department of agriculture of the number of bales of cotton ginned." "NOTHING DOING." SAYS SHAW. Secretary Will Make No Move to Relieve Financial Situation. Secretary Shaw returned to Washington Saturday from his campaign tour. When asked if anything would be done to relieve the financial situation, he replied that "unless conditions materially changed he would not refund, buy bonds, increase deposits or do anything else." The treasury, he says, holds $25,000,000 that can be used as a last resort, but it will not be used until absolutely necessary. John Howard Payne's "Home, Sweet Home" to Be Torn Down.
