TAFT ADVISED BY CABLE Secretary of War is Told to Cease Dal- lying in the Matter—Army Officers' Report on the Brownsville Affair Made Public. The war department at Washington issued the following statement Wednesday concerning the negro troops ordered dismissed at Fort Reno: "In the matter of the order discharging the enlisted men of three companies of the twenty-fifth infantry issued by the president, application was presented to the secretary of war by a large number of persons asking a rehearing by the president on the ground on which the action was taken. The secretary telegraphed the president of the application and delayed the proceedings of the discharge until the president could indicate his destres. The secretary was in the meantime called out of town. No answer was received from the president. The secretary on his return did not feel justified in further delaying the execution of the order of discharge, especially in view of the fact that the secretary then learned the president had fully and exhaustively considered the argument against the order of the persons who now applied for a rehearing. Accordingly, the secretary directed yesterday (Tuesday) that the proceedings for discharge be continued without delay." Later in the day, Secretary Taft received a dispatch from President Roosevelt and issued the following additional statement: "A telegram was received from the president at 11 o'clock today after the previous statement was given out at the war department, in which he declined to suspend the discharge unless there are new facts of such importance as to warrant cabling him. He states that the action was taken after due consideration, and that the only matter to which he can pay heed is the presentation of facts showing the official reports to be in whole or in part untrue, or clearly excultating some individual. If any such facts later appear he can act as he deems advisable, but thus far nothing has been introduced to warrant the suspension of the order, and he directs that it be executed." The investigation of the conduct of the negro troops of companies B, C and D, twenty-fifth infantry, as reported upon by Major Blocksom, inspector general's department; Lieutenant Colonel Lovering, fourth infantry, acting Inspector general, and Brigadier General Garlington, Inspector general of the army, was made public at the war department in a volume entitled "The Affray at Brownsville, Texas." Major Blocksom declares that the affair was preconcerted, and both he and General Garlington exonerate the officers from blame, General Garlington says it was evident from the first that the three companies had entered into a compact to give no information about the affair. Secretary Taft said that no steps will taken to make a further investigation of the conduct of the officers. If his summary of the reports made by the other officers and of his own efforts to discover the guilty soldiers Brigadier General Garlington declares that every means of getting evidence concerning the shooting was exhausted. All the men of the three companies were talked with individually on different occasions, he says, and the dire consequences of their failure to give up the guilty soldiers were pointed out. All the soldiers avoided questions and even refused to discuss the events at Brownsville. "The secretive nature of the race, where crimes are charged to members of their color is well known," says General Garlington. "Under the conditions, self-protection or self-interest is the only lever by which the casket of their minds can be pried open. Acting upon this principle, the history and record of the regiment to which they belong, the part played by these old soldiers in this record, were pointed out and enlarged upon. The odium and disgrace to the battalion and its individual members by this crime were indicated. The future effect upon the individuals and upon the battalion as a whole was referred to; and, finally, the concern of the president of the United States in the matter, his desire and the desire of the war department to separate the innocent from the guilty were explained, but without effect." BISHOP TIGERT DEAD. Killed by Small Chicken Bone Which Lodged in His Throat—Operation Was Performed, But In Vain. Bishop John J. Tigert of Louisville, Ky., died in Tulsa, Indian Territory, early Wednesday morning after an illness of ten days, aged 50 years. Bishop Tigert was taken ill while attending a church conference at Atoka, but disregarded the advice of his physician to rest. He went to Tulsa Intending to open the conference there on the 14th, but was compelled o take to his bed. His illness was caused by the lodgment of a piece of chicken bone just below the tonsils. This, combined with an operation which was performed caused an inflammation of the throat and resulted in blood poisoning. It was first announced that the trouble was tonsillitis. The body of Bishop Tigert was embalmed and placed in a casket in the parlor of the Brady hotel, where a last view was given to hundreds of friends in Tulsa. The casket was taken aboard the St. Louis and San Francisco eastbound train Wednesday afternoon on the way to Nashville. The news of the bishop's death was withheld from Mrs. Tigert, who is suffering from acute heart disease. The dead bishop was a son of John J. and Mary Ann Veghten Tigert of Louisville, where he was born November 25, 1856. He was graduated in the schools of Louisville and at Vanderbilt university. He was granted a license to preach in September, 1875. From 1890 to 1894 he was a professor at Vanderbilt university, and in 1894 he was elected book editor, a position held in southern Methodism until he was elevated to the college of bishops at the last session of the general conference in Birmingham, Ala., in May, 1906. He married Miss Amella McTyeire, daughter of the late Bishop H. N. McTyeire, first president of Vanderbilt university. The marriage was an elopement affair. Bishop Tigert leaves a wife and six children. Bishop Tigert was regarded as one of the ablest minds in southern Methodism. Bishop Tigert's father was a Louisville contractor and the bishop himself drove a wagon for years and in this way earned enough money to educate himself. PRESIDENT IN PORTO RICO. Takes Trip in Auto and Makes Many Speeches to Islanders. President Roosevelt Wednesday journeyed in an automobile over the famous military road from Ponce to San Juan and was accorded an ovation by the people of Porto Rico. The eighty mile trip was made in six hours and thirty minutes, counting the time taken up by stops at the principal towns along the route, where the president made shortspeeches to the people. The president, in all his addresses, dwelt upon the affection he held for the people of Porto Rico and assured them that he would use every effort to secure citizenship for them. President Roosevelt arrived at Ponce Wednesday morning from Colon on board the battleship Louisiana. He was visited on board by Governor Winthrop, who extended a welcome to the island. The president at once went ashore and was greeted at the pier by Mayor Oppenheimer of Ponce and a delegation of prominent officials and citizens. The town, which was profusely decorated in the president's honor, was crowded with people from the surrounding country eager to greet Mr. Roosevelt. TRYING TO BLUFF TILLMAN. Card Writer Says He Will Be Shot if He Attempts to Lecture A postal card was received in Chicago Wednesday by the authorities, threatening injury to Senator Tillman of South Carolina if he persisted in giving a lecture for the benefit of the Chicago Union hospital. The threat on the card was as follows: "The Honorable Ben Tillman will not speak. If he does he will be shot by a mulatto who will go in the hall unattended." · CHISHOLM DECLARED SANE. Plea of Bank Embezzler Did Not Go With Special Jury. A Birmingham, Ala., dispatch says; The jury which heard the evidence upon the insanity issue in the case of Alexander R. Chisholm, charged with embezzling large sums of money from the First National bank, Wednesday, returned a verdict in the United States court. The jury decided that Chisholm is sane, and in sufficient possession of his mental faculties to be placed on trial. SAVANNAH. GA.: SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 24. 1906. DOUBLE-TRACK Southern is Forced to Increase Its Facilities. South's Prosperity Proves Too Much for Great System—Contract is Let to Oliver; Company of Knoxville, Tennessee. A special from Charlotte, N. C., states that the Southern railway has just let a contract for double tracking the main line between that city and Atlanta. The contracting firm is the Oliver company of Knoxville, Tenn., one of the largest in the south. The undertaking is monumental and it is not improbable that the Oliver people will sublet contracts to smaller companies. This information comes from an authentic source. The work will be begun by December 1 or January 1. It will probably take three or four years to do this work, as aside from the double trackage, the course of the track will be changed at many points, and the curves and grades done away with as far as possible. The line, when completed, will be almost a new one. Oliver Brothers already have a contract for improving the freight yards in Charlotte, and Tuesday morning ninety-three-mules and two steam shovels were brought in for the work. The Southern has been forced to this proposition on account of the congestion of traffic which it has been unable to meet with its present facilities. Double tracking has been in progress north of Charlotte to a considerable extent and the second line has been laid between several of the larger cities as far north as Danville. It is probable that the line will be double-tracked between Charlotte and Spencer, in order to eventually give double trackage all the way between Washington and Atlanta. NO REVOCATION OF ORDER Unless Facts as Known Are Shown to A cable dispatch from President Rosevelt declining to suspend his order discharging the negro troops of the twenty-fifth regiment unless the facts as known to him are shown to be false, but expressing his willingness to hear new facts bearing upon the case, was made public at Washington Tuesday by Glychrist Stewart of the Constitutional League. Mr. Stewart cabled Roosevelt at Ancon, Panama, as follows: "Republican county committee unanimously denounces discharge of colored soldiers. Parsons, Olcott, Bennett, committee, petitioning department, Newspapers emphatic. ©Developments and new facts warrant an immediate suspension of order." The president's reply contained the following: "Unless facts as known to me are shown to be false, the order will, under no circumstances, be revoked, and I shall not for one moment consider suspending it on a simple allegation that there are new facts until these new facts are said before me. Inform any persons having new facts to have them in shape to lay before me at my return, and I will then consider whether or not any further action by me is called for. The president's view is that the negro soldiers, in refusing information, necessary to the apprehension of the men who committed the criminal acts at Brownsville, Texas, struck at the very heart of military justice and discipline. Had the white troops done this same thing, they would have suffered the same penalty. As previously published, Major General Alnsworth, military secretary, acting under orders of Taft, directed that further discharges of the negro companies of the twenty-fifth Infantry, on account of the shooting at Brownsville, Texas, be suspended pending further orders. "AN UNSUSPECTED SAVAGE." Judge Speer So Characterizes Vagabond Negro in Charge to Jury. Judge Emory Speer delivered, in some respects a sensational charge to the federal grand jury at the opening of the United States court in Augusta, Ga., Monday. Judge Speer discussed the crimes of the negro against white women and declared that lynching is no deterrent. He declared that "our condition is worse than that of our forefathers of the frontier when the Indians were on the warpath. "For," declared the judge, "the savage is at our door and is unsuspected." GOING TO THE COURTS. Negroes Will Fight Order of Roosevelt . Diecharging Colored Tops. Attorneys Are Employed. Announcement was made in New York Saturday that Alexander S. Bacon and J. Douglas Wetmore, attorneys for the Afro-American council, have been employed by the negro soldiers of companies B, C and D, of the Twenty-Fifth Infantry, who have been ordered dishonorably dismissed from the United States army, to take steps for their re-instatement and to ascertain what rights they have, if any, to protect them against the effect of President Roosevelt's recent order debarring them from future employment in the government service. The statement is made that a number of persons, both white and black, have expressed their willingness to assist in bearing the expenses of the sult. Mr. Wetmore says he intends to have two bills introduced at the next session of congress on behalf of the Afro-American council, one depriving the president and secretary of war of the power to discharge soldiers without trials, and the other for the reconstitution of the negroes discharged from the Twenty-fifth infantry. Calls were sent out for special meetings of the ministerial association of negro preachers, the Baptist ministers meeting and the clerical union of Long Island to take action on President Roosevelt's attitude toward the negro troops. An: Appeal to Taft. Mary Church Terrell, a member of the Constitutional League, of New York, called upon Secretary Tatt at the war department at Washington Saturday by direction of the league and begged him to suspend, until the president returns, the execution of the order discharging without honor a battalion of the Twenty-fifth infantry at Fort Reno. In addition to this presentment from the league, Secretary Tatt also had before him a telegram containing resolutions adopted by the Republican county committee of New York, also praying that the ncgro troops be given a hearing and that meanwhile the execution of the order be suspended. Secretary Taft pointed out that the section complained of was a presidential order. He said that he had already caused an inquiry to be made of General McCaskey, the department commander at San Antonio, as to what had been done toward executing the order, and he further intimated that he might communicate with the president upon the subject. PRESIDENT LEAVES PANAMA. Expressed Himself as Pleased With Condition of Canal Affairs. A special from Colon says: President Roosevelt had a conference Friday night with the heads of the various canal departments and went aboard his train at Tivoli at 8:30 o'clock Saturday morning to begin the homeward journey. As the train passed Camp Elliott, the martens there were lined up for review and the band played "The Star Spangled Banner." At Gatun, Presqueat and Mrs. Roosevelt disembarked and climbed the hill where the big dam and locks will be located. President Roosevelt said he was pleased with the condition of affairs and the system now established in the zone. The president expects to arrive at Fonecón, Porto Rico, on Wednesday. After tanding there he will cross the island in an automobile, and will embark at San Juan, Thursday for Hampton Roads. AS PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE Negro Acquitted on Criminal Assault Charge Still Held in Jail. After being acquitted on the charge of criminally assaulting Mrs. Camp, Joe Glen spent Friday night in the Tower, at Atlanta, and will probably spend several days in the same place purely as a matter of precaution in view of the inflamed state of mind in the vicinity of the assault. The verdict of the jury met with general approval throughout the city. Services Were Being Held and Congregation Scattered Precipitately. A bomb was exploded in St. Peter's Church at Rome, Italy, Sunday. The edifice was crowded at the time and an indescribable scene of confusion followed. The people died in all directions, and several women fainted. The church is so large, however, that there was ample room for the crowd to scatter, and no one was injured. No trace of the perpetrator of the deed has been found. TURPENTINE TRUST Alleged by Uncle Sam to Exist in Georgia and Florida. CHARGE IS BEING PROBED Main Allegation Is That Naval Stores Monopoly is Too Close to That of Word comes from New York that the federal government is getting after "turpentine trust," which is supposed to have its headquarters in Savannah, Ga. The news is that the United States district attorney there is co-operating with the southern district of Georgia in this movement. It is alleged that a hard and fast agreement exists between the various constituent companies belonging to the so-called trust, and that the business and territory have been divided up in regular octopus fashion. It is intimated that the turpentine trust, so-called, is influenced and controlled to a greater or less degree by the Standard Oil company. It is known that the Standard Oil interests in the past have endeavored to abhor the turpentine and rosin industries. E. S. Nash, president of the New American Naval Stores company, just formed from the Patterson-Downing and S. P. Shotter companies, said that he did not know anything about the suggested prosecution. "Have the companies with which you are associated any connection with the Standard Oil?" Mr. Nash was asked. He declined to answer on the ground that the question was too personal in its nature. Alexander Akeiman, United States attorney, was in Savanah recently on business, now supposed to have had connection with naval stores matters. NEGRO STAVED OFF NOOSE. Gained Brief Respite from Gallows by Fighting Sheriff and Helpers. Fighting with the desperation of a man who has nothing to lose, Mims Devereaux, a negro sentenced to hang at Milledgeville, Ga., Friday, between the hours of 10 a. m. to 2 p. m., for the murder of another negro, kept at bay the sheriff and all available help for nearly two hours, the execution not being accomplished until one hour after the time named in the sentence, and not until nearly every means had been exhausted, including the pouring on him for three-quarters of an hour of water from the fire hose. The trouble started when the sheriff entered Devereaux's cell and ordered him to don his gallows clothes. The sheriff had just offered the clothes to him when Devereaux threw a full bucket of water in his face, following it with the bucket, which missed the sheriff, who stepped to one side. This was followed by another bucket, and a glass bottle, and another bottle, which forced the sheriff out of the corridor between the cells, as the sheriff did not wish to shoot him. The retreat of the sheriff left the negro in possession of his cell and the corridor between the cells. Finally three men made a dash for him at the risk of their lives and succeeded in overpowering him. Devereux was then securely tied and led upon the trap. His neck was broken and he died without a struggle. SPONSORS AND MAIDS BARRED. Give the Veterans First Honors, Say Daughters of Confederacy. Resolutions to abolish sponsors and malds of honor at reunions of United Confederate Veterans were adopted Friday by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in convention at Gulfport, Miss. Reunions, the resolutions state, apparently are no longer for the entertainment of the veterans, but rather for the entertainment of the sponsors and malds of honor. The large rums raised by the hostess cities are expended to give sponsors and malds the best hotels, while the veterans are lodged in vacant hotels and bedded on cots. EIGHTY-TWO DOLLARS FOR CENT Specimen of First Coinage Struck In 1793 Sold at Auction. A specimen of the first cent, struck in the United States mint in 1793, with thirteen links in a circle on the reverse, was sold for $82 in New York Friday at the end of a two days' sale of coins held at the Hotel Bartholdi. NO. 8. NEGRO EXCAPES NOOSE. Had Been Identified by Woman as Her Assailant, But, Through Accident, Is Proven Innocent. In just four and one-half minutes after a jury in the Fulton county superior court at Atlanta Friday afternoon, had retired, Joe Glenn, a negro, was found not guilty of the charge of criminally assaulting Mrs. J. N. Camp. Thus was brought to a close one of the most remarkable cases of its kind ever tried in the county—a case which will long stand as a precedent for other communities to follow; a precedent which will doubtless do much to save the unlawful and unprovoked shedding of human blood. On November 13 Mrs. Camp, a white woman, was assaulted by a negro who afterwards tied a leather thong around her throat, almost choking her to death. She did not know the name of her assailant. In a few hours Joe Glenn, a negro farmer living some three miles distant, was arrested. Mrs. Camp identified him as the man, although her first description did not coincide with the general appearance of the negro. On November 15 Glenn was indicted by the grand jury. Three prominent lawyers of the Atlanta bar were appointed counsel to defend him. Just one day later, after the fairest of trials, he was acquitted and the tolls began to fasten themselves around another negro, Will Johnson, who was captured in a remote section of the city while Glenn's trial was in progress. In fact, up to the time of the capture of this latter negro it looked very much as if Glenn would be convicted on a case of mistaken identity. Evidence that seemed proof positive pointed to him as the man. The victim of the assault had been confronted with him a few hours after the crime and declared him to be the man. Again, while on the stand telling her pitiful story, she had again seen him suddenly brought into the room. With every nerve of her sensitive woman's nature suffering the exquisite torture which only a woman in her position could feel, she cried cut: "You are the one—you, you low down rascal. Oh, I'd like to kill you. Yes, put on that old hat. You—you—you—" And then, words falling, she became convulsive with a paroxysm of violent weeping. Owing to this outburst on the woman's part a mistrial was asked. It was refused and the trial proceeded before a jury composed of some of the best citizens of the county. A number of character witnesses were introduced. All stated that Glenn was a hard-working negro who bore a good reputation in the community, paid his debts and had never been in trouble. Scarcely had the afternoon session begun, than the surprise of the day was sprung. The jury was retired and Judge Roan was informed that a negro had been captured in West End who tallied exactly with the description of Mrs. Camp's assailant. Pending his arrival several other witnesses were examined. Finally Will Johnson, a black negro of slender build, was ushered into the room. He sat covering in front of the judge's stand. Officer Buntyn was placed on the stand and stated that he had that day a few hours before arrested Johnson in West End. The negro had a double barrel shotgun and was acting suspiciously and when placed under arrest he was found to have on two suits of clothes, a pair of stockings, a pair of socks, while around his body was tide a mass of female clothing. He wore a slouch hat almost identical with that worn by the negro Glenn. The hat was turned up in front. The effect on the audience of this.unforeseen evidence was magical. What seemed certain guilt on the part of Glenn in the face of Mrs. Camp's identification was turned to doubt and then to certainty of his innocence. .WAIVED RIGHT TO TRIAL. Fear of Lynching Leads Negro to Enter Plea of Guilt. At Center, Texas, Dick Garrett, the negro who killed Mike-Paul Saturday, will be executed at once. After the funeral Tuesday afternoon friends of the murdered man were so wrought up that an attack on the jail was imminent. The accused sent for District Attorney Inboden, waived all his legal right and requested to be hanged immediately. Judge Davis agreed to take up the case, accept a plea of guilty, pronounce sentence and let the execution take place. ~ # a - ss a B " “0 : ‘ Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums. . . + "Sd e. ? .

The Ohio station has been exper menting with four sets of apple trees to determine whether mulehing pays. Each division had different treatment as to tillage.,In one’ cast absolutely clean culture was given—that is, till- age tools were used all througa the seascn, In another culture was kept up until in July when a “cover crop” like clover or cowpeas was seeded and left to grow. On still another a circle around the trees was kept stirr- ed with a hoc, whfle all grass or weeds growing on ths field were cut at intervals and Jeft te decay where they fell. On the last this growth of grass and weeds waa cut and ail piled around the base of the trees— the trunk being protected by a band of swire cloth. The*trees were plant- ed on sloping ground, and the thor- ough culture was a fallure from the start, because the ralns- washed and gullied the surface so that it was nec. essary to stop the cultivators. The best results were obtained where the grasa and weeds were cut and piled around the trees. These trees not only made a stronger growth, but came {nto bearing earlier than the others, Parisian life seems to agree, with Parisians.

SOUTHERN ROSES and NORTHERN LILACS "Oh!—Oh!—Oh!" The woman in black turned and saw Helen drop to her knees. She was at her side in a moment. "Beautiful!" Helen was saying into the depths of the creamy roses. "Where did they come from?" "From Virginia; came by mail yesterday," said the woman in black in a soft Southern drawl. Helen noticed the accent, and thought it sweet. She did not know it was Southern. "I put them here for him." The woman in black pointed to the nama on the marble siab. "He did me—did us—a very great kindness years ago." She was on her knees now, beside Helen, helping to arrange the white lilacs. "I love them so, the flowers," she said. A robin was caroling overhead. Faintly there came to them the thrum, thrum of a drum, and far down the road a cloud of white dust was rising. "It was a beautiful day, just like to-day," the stranger was saying, in her soft, Southern drawl. "Nature was joyously, exuberantly happy, but our hearts were heavy and sad. It seemed to me as if mine was broken, as if I could never be happy and merry again. Down in our pasture, tents were pitched. From our side plaza we could see blue coats moving about them. I hated those blue-coated men — mauders — I called them by every despicable epithet I could think of. I hated them because they were quartered on us without invitation. Only a few weeks before, a party of them came into our garden, and one of them went along and smashed the sashes of our hotbeds with his heel, and they helped themselves to our radishes and early vegetables. When old Tom called to them to 'leave' thar, we wants 'em to eat,' they laughed at him and retorted: "We want 'em to eat, too, old Mr. Blackbird!" "To tell the truth, we had not very much to eat in those days; we were so short rations often, and now I reflect they must have been, too, those boys in blue. I hated them most, I think, because only a few days before they had killed and eaten my pet heifer. "Oh child, those were hard days, cruel days! But hardest on us in whose homes and dooryards the fierce, bloody battles were fought. Our house was watched. I'd seen the men picketed about it. We were suspected of harboring an escaped prisoner, a spy, they deemed him. A squad of blue coats came riding up on lane one morning. They were coming to search our premises. We'd expected this for several days. They dismounted and tied their horses to the garden fence. One of them came to me. I was sitting on a bench alongside the house. Over it I'd spread a rug I'd fetched from the half. "The officer explained, or attempted to explain to me that he had seen detailed to the painful duty of searching our house. 'Don't,' I interrupted, 'make any apologies; they're quite out of place at such a time, and from you. Our permission you do not need—we are at your mercy, sir!' "I could have struck him dead, standing there, cap in hand, had I been able. I think I looked my hatred. He looked embarrassed, pained. At a signal from him the men entered the house. He had bidden them give as little offense as possible and be quick. He stood there, cap in hand, while the men were inside—it seemed to me they were ages inside. His face was partly averted. It was a fine, noble face, a face to win confidence. He may have a mother at home, or a sister or a sweetheart at home. I thought. I had never associated these tender ties with my hated enemies before. The men came out and he went toward them, and it seemed, led them away from me. "All right," he said, 'I was quite sure there was no one concealed inside that house.' Did he emphasize the word inside? I thought he did, was sure he did, and the thought froze the blood in my veins. "He came back and stood guard over me. What did he mean to do next? Oh, how anxiously I studied his face while his men searched our outbuildings. And when they had done, he pointed to their horses, then turning to me, cap still in hand, he said: "I hated to make this search, but we have to obey orders. Say to them, to your people, that you will not be subjected to this annoyance again while I am on duty, but I shall be relieved of duty here at 8 o'clock to-morrow morning—$ 0 o'clock to-morrow morning,' he emphasized. "I know what he meant. I know he meant 'get your house in order before that.' Tears sprang to my eyes, tears of gratitude, tears of relief. I would have sprung up and gone to him and shaken his hand, had I dared to get up. 'Oh sir, thank you, thank you.' I murmured, and reached him a couple of roses off the bush that grew beside me, the parent of that bush." The woman in black pointed to the creamy roses on the soldier's grave. "He came and took them from me, bowed low, and mounted his horse. Then I saw Benny's feet sticking out from under the rug, Benny, for whom they were searching. And I knew that that officer had seen them, too. I'd been literally sitting on Benny all that time—making a bench of him." "Oh, he did see them, grandpa told me he did," broke in Helen, "and he told me how sorry he felt for you, and said he kept the roses a long time, a very long time. And you were the beautiful girl?" The woman in black blushed and looked very beautiful to Helen. "I was the girl," she said. "And Benny said I nearly crushed the breath out of him, I was so heavy." "Benny was your brother?" "No, he was my playfellow, and afterwards my husband. "We got him away that night, in old Tom's clothes." "Grandpa said he hoped you would, for your sake. And he is——" "Dead; has been these many years." The woman in black touched her somber dress severely. The thrum, thrum, thrum had been sounding louder and the cloud of dust had been coming nearer, along the road. The little procession of veterans turned up the avenue of the cemetery. The woman in black and the girl in white put the last lingering touches to their floral tribute, the rose from Virginia, and the lilacs from York State, on the Federal soldier's grave and passed down the little narrow walk, arm in arm, as the little procession of veterans came up the Driveway—American Agriculturist. FORESTS TURN TO PAPER. Acres of Trees Consumed Daily in Ephemeral Literature. If one asked "the man in the street" what paper was made of, writes R. K. Duncan, in Harper's Magazine, he would almost certainly say "rags," and for the fair white sheet upon which I write this would be true, but for paper in general the answer would be absurdly inadequate for there exists not one thousand part of "rags" that would be necessary. Our civilization exists largely on a paper basis, and in England alone it requires 650 mills, producing some 30,000 tons a week, to fulfil our needs. To feed these mills science laid her hand on cellulose, which we cannot make, but can only take from plants. In the plant the cellulose of the cell walls, with the exception of cotton, which is unique, does not stand up pure and free and uncombined, but exists always incrusted chemically with some other substance. The substance of woody fibre is thus always cellulose X, and the problem for science is either to manufacture paper directly out of cellulose X (lingo cellulose or wood fibre) or to devise some practical method of extracting the X substance from the cellulose and thus obtain it pure and for paper. Both methods are practiced to-day. Paper boxes, wrapping paper and almost all the newspapers of the land are made, not of rags, but simply of disintegrated deal boards pounded and mashed and amalgamated into paper. Any one of the large London or American daily papers consumes each day fully ten acres of average forest. Such paper does not last. The wood fibre out of which it is made is, unilike pure cellulose, acted upon by light and air and water and the organisms of decay. This is bad, but not wholly bad, for most of the literature appearing on this paper is made as mechanically as the paper itself, and it is fitting that it should be as ephemeral in fact as it is in nature. But sometimes Literature (with a capital L) appears on this wooden foundation—and that is a tragedy. Had Mr. Pepys written his admirable dalry upon what we call "scribbling paper," we would to-day have no Mr. Pepys. England alone every year imports some 350,000 tons of this mechanical wood pulp to turn it into paper. She imports also some 200,000 tons of what is called "chemical wood pulp"—i.e., wood from which the incrusting impurities have been removed and which consists of cellulose almost pure. Testing Missionary's Patience. The Rev. Frederick B. Bridgeman, the noted and successful missionary to the Zulus, was talking in Philadelphia about missionary work. "I am very hopeful of it," he said. "I may be a little too hopeful because I have had such good success. It is better, though, to be too hopeful than too doubting. "Much depends upon the character of the people one works among, and I can sympathize a little with a missionary who returned home from China in a very despondent mood. "A Chinese convert stole this missionary's watch and then came back to him the next morning to learn how to wind it up."—Boston Globe. RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD. ```markdown ``` K JOHN D.

A New York man has patented a barrel that seems to have solved the problem, an illustration of which is shown here. It is termed a "knockdown" and can be readily assembled when desired and as readily disassembled when its contents have been removed. It can then be packed in a small space to facilitate transportation. This barrel is made in two sections, preferably of sheet metal, and in form resembles the common type of barrel. The longitudinal edges are divided into tongues, each alternate tongue having double edges, forming recesses into which the interlocking tongues in the opposite section con- LAURENCE TOWARD NEW WIDE GRANTY HUM.

The medals will be struck of bronze at the Philadelphia Mint. Most of the devices explain themselves. The castle on the Spanish War medal is taken from the heraldic castle on the coat of arms of the kingdom of Spain, modified by the addition of round towers at the corners to suggest the Cuban "morros." The lamp and scales on the Philippine medal remind us of our character as bearers of enlightenment and justice. The designs are better explained as follows: 1, Civil War medal; 2, reverse; 3, medal of merit; 4, reverse; 5, Philippine Insurrection medal; 6, reverse of 5, 7, 8' and 9, with name varied; 7, Indian Wars medal; 8, Spanish War medal; 9, China Relief Expedition medal. 3 ned a wig and has been blessed with a papers to juggle with the phrases If President Roosevelt's inheritance are affected by it than Mr. Rockefeller connect.

The circular heads of the barrel lit into grooves top and bottom on the outside of the barrel; fitting into the grooves are bands of wire, both ends of which are connected to a lever. By turning the lever in the direction of the arrow in the illustration, the band contracts, causing the end of the barrel to contract also.—Philadelphia Record.

Seed For Mowing and Pasturing. A good mixture of seed for mowing, to be followed by pasture, according to a Pennsylvania correspondent, is six quarts of timothy, sown with wheat, followed in the spring, without plowing, with a mixture of four quarts red clover, two quarts alsike, four quarts redtop. The clovers, he says, will hold two years and the other grasses will tack their place.—American Callivator. Hay Stacker The hay derrick shown here is for stacking hay in the field. The skids are ten by twelve inches, sixteen feet long. The two cross pieces are eight by ten inches, eight feet long, each set in two inches. The upright post For Stacking Hay. is eight by eight and nine feet high. The three braces are four by four, or round poles. The boom pole is thirty-two feet long, four inches at top and eight or ten at butt. The chain can be shortened to raise the boom or lengthened to lower. The boom is swung by a swing rope, as can be seen. "A" shows the fork on which boom pole is swung. The hole in the post is lined with a piece of gas pipe with solid plug in bottom. A six-tine grapple fork can be used. Small Barnyards Best. From an economic standpoint most barnyards are too large. The loss of fertility is far greater in a large than a small one. This loss is not so noticeable in newly settled fertile sections of the country as in States east of the Mississippi River, where the once fertile land has been robbed of its organic matter. Thousands of farmers lose every year in keeping their stock in large yards during the feeding season enough fertility to equal in value a ton or more of the most expensive fertilizer. If the yard is large with a high, dry place at one side, the stock will congregate there and the richest droppings are lost by being trampled in and mixed with the soil, unless the surface soil is all hauled to the field, which it would often pay to do. Many yards extend to a creek or are located on a hillside, from which the loss is very heavy, unless the washings extend over a pasture or cultivated field. The better plan is to make the yard as small as possible consistent with convenience and also have it protected with a roof to a great extent. The saving of fertilizer and promotion of the comfort of the animals will pay a large annual interest on the investment.—The Epitomist. Peach Yellons. When the Connecticut Legislature enacted a law a few years ago making it compulsory upon those who owned peach trees to cut and burn all that were affected by the yellows it was opposed by many as a useless expense, and even some of the peach growers thought such action could not save the other trees in the orchards or near them, while a few denied that the disease was contagious or that diseased trees were a menace to other trees. Yet, if we may judge by the reports in the Connecticut papers the action produced as good results as its advocates hoped for. Old peach, orchards were saved and the planting of new orchards encouraged, so that they now boast of a peach crop unprecedented in quantity or quality in the history of the State. It should encourage the planting of peach trees in other places. Eastern Massachusetts once produced peaches in abundance, but this disease killed many of the trees, and as farmers did not know how to save them they failed to set any more, until there are but few neighborhoods where even enough are grown by any one for family use and none for market. Yet the soil and the climate have not changed since the days when farmers had to feed peaches to their pigs after their families and neighbors had eaten all they wanted.—Boston Cultivator. Young Stock Upon the Perches. It is a, common mistake among poultrymen to induce the young stock to take to the perches too young. Especially does such a practice work injury among the heater breeds, says Michigan Farmer. Leghorns and the smaller variety are much less subject to injury. In the majority of poultry nouses nothing better than a round pole about, one and one-half inches in diameter is provided for a roost, and when young stock spend the long nights on these, before the bones have become hardened, the result is almost surely crooked breast bones and consequently deformity. This may not, particularly injure the capacity for producing eggs, but in a show specimen it is liable to disqualify the fowl. Many experienced poultrymen recommend a flat perch at least three inches wide, while some think four inches wide still better. If the chicks take to the perches too young, of their own accord, the only course is to remove the perches and compel them to remain on the floor. Be careful that the floor is kept free from lice and the chicks will usually remain there contentedly. Even though deformed pullets lay as many eggs, we who take pride in flocks of pure bloods do not wish deformity, whether we are exhibitors or not. Facts About Turkers. Inbreeding will quickly invite failure. Breeding turkeys can be profitably kept up to the fifth year. Breeders generally will not breed from the same gobbler more than one year, unless the same breeding hens are also retained. In the selection of Bronze turkey breeders, the body should be long and deepest at the centre, with a full breast, broad back, strong thighs and stanks of moderate length. In young birds the shanks are a dead black, but they grow lighter with age, until they become of a pink or flesh color. The hen turkey is more in demand in market than is the male. A medium-sized carcass sells best. Mashed potatoes mixed with cornmeal, alternated with shelled corn, is the most general diet used for fattening turkeys. When the least indisposed the turkey will hold its head down between its shoulders and refuse food. During incubation a turkey can cover from fifteen to twenty eggs, while an ordinary hen cannot cover more than half that number. Eight hens to a cock is a good mating, and which should produce about 200 young. Geer says the market turkey should be shorter in legs and neck than is the general case; and very full in the breast. A good plan, in killing turkeys, is to tie their feet together, hand the bird on a pole, and then cut the thragt so as to bieed freely. They should be dry-picked, leaving head and wings on. After being picked, dip in hot water, and then in cold, which will give the skins a fresher look. Some turkey raisers prefer marketing the toms in the month of December, and keep the heens until later, so that they may increase in weight and command a better price. A plump young turkey, dressing from eight to fifteen pounds, finds a market at almost any season of the year. If in good condition when put up, turkey hens can be fattened in about three weeks' time, but cocks would require a week or more longer. An English writer says there are two points to consider before choosing the breed of turkey, viz., whether the birds are to be reared with the purpose of making a profit with them, or whether they are only for home consumption. If the former, he selects the Bronze variety. He says for profit it is purely a question of obtaining birds of the heaviest possible weight when they are from six to nine months old. He further says that not only does this breed produce heavy weight, but quality of flesh is also obtained—Poultryman. Protected Milk Pail That many of the odors and much of the dirt which gets into milk is during the process of milking, most of us know, hence every precaution to overcome this should be taken. One of the best methods of protecting the milk in the pail is to arrange a cover of tin and cheese cloth, says the Indianapolis Sentinel. Have a tin cover made to go over the pail loosely so as to allow for the space taken by the cloth strainer. The tin cover should be higher in the centre 6 Cutece Cloth Cover For Milk Pail than at the sides (see small cut to right) and a hole about four inches in diameter made in the front centre through which the milk is directed. Then have plenty of cheese cloth covers large enough to reach five or six inches over the side of the pail, where it may be secured by a tape or by slipping a hoop of sheet iron of proper size over it and pushing it down hard. Put on one of these covers, then the tin cover and you are ready for milking. The cheese cloth will prevent any fifth getting to the milk, and if these covers are washed in holling water and sun-dried they may be used a number of times. The illustration shows the idea plainly, the cut to the lower left showing the pail complete with the strainer and the larger cut showing how the cloth is slashed at intervals so it will fit in and the rail without trouble. eo hlCOti(‘(iti;w*étCt OCR Tho Savannah Tribune Pogtismmn Evzey SaToRay, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO ~ 116 W. 8.

As arace wo have much for which to be thankful. During the past few months many things have happened that tend to disckurage us as a race, but they should only spur us on and cause us to overcome great- er obstacles The action of our white neighbors to curtail our rights, and discriminate against us in many ways. should be an incentive for binding ourselves together for moral up-lift and financial betterment. Despite everything that is done to us, we can look forward with pride for future success. Ovr Friend Lewis, in the Me- tropolis aptly says that : “There are entirely too many idle boys and girls in the city, who do not g2 to school nor are they at any ind of work. It is a common hing when a man or woman is caught ipfpome crime of a serious nature to hear many express won der asto how the unfortunate one ever came by such bad habits when all of the world knows that crime has its nest bed in ildeness. No befter lesson can be taught than that of the value of time and a wise use of the same. The boy or girl who is allowed to pass day after day in some frivolous nonsense, often highly questionable in its nature, can not be of much con- sequence after reaching maturi- ty. Andifsucha one becomes of any use to self or others it will be after many bard knocks dealt by the big stick of every day experience, with many probabilities of being knocked entirely out of the race. Tdte- ness is a danger and a menace. It has never in all human affairs product any good thing. arents and othets whofhave the care of the young will do much in real character building if at all times and in everything they would seriously intpress this fact upon the young.” Whatis true of Jacksonville is also true of Savannah. Some- thing must be done to reclaim a number of our boys and girls, especially the hoodlum boys who frequent places of amuse- ment and make it unpleasant for others. State Fair Ended. Monday last terminated the first State Colored Fair ever held in Georgia. It was very success- ful and the directors are en- couraged to make it bigger and better next year. It was antici- pate that there would be trouble during the fair. but this was not realized. There werea number of officers on the grounds but their services were not needed despite the large number of at- tendants each day and night. As mentioned last week, the ex- hibits were the best and nicely arranged. The experience of this year will cause more system in its conduct next year no doubt, which will add much to the sta- bility and usefulness of the movement. Congregational State Convention. The General Convention ol Georgia that convened last week at Thomasyille, at Bethany Congregational Church was well attended, interesting and profit- able. The program was full of good things from beginning to end. The various subjects dis- cussed and the able papers pre- sented were practicable ones that affected the every day life of the church, Sunday schoo} and Christiari Endeavor society. The reports from the chtrches showed both a deepening of the spiritual life and the material progress of the work. One of the great treats of the convention was the presence, on hia first trip south, of Prof. F, XK. Sanders, formerly “Dean of the Divinity School of Yale University and recently elected Secretary of the Congress tonal Sanday.School and Publication Society. He delivered two very able addresses, one of which was on “The work of the Congre- gational Sunday School and Publication Society.” Dr. San- ders is enthusiastic in his work and is outliniug extensive plans for the future of the Society. One of the important measures considered by the convention was the advisability of recom- mending the appointment of a General Superintendent of Sun day schools for the work among the churches in the South. Such arepresentative man, because of racial affinity, could be of special help to the churches. ‘The Secretary Dr. F K. Sanders ex- pressed his approval of the plan because of its broad and com- prehensive scope for the general development of the work. The closing sessions on Sun- day were attended in large num- bers. The morning sermon was preached by Rev. H. H. Proctor and the evening sermon by Rev. Geo. W. Moore. The parting words of the delegates praised the church for the excellent ses- sion held, and expressed their thanks to the citizens of Thomas ville for the generous hospitality tendered them. The next session will be held at Athens and the Rev. A. T. Clark of Macon will preach the annual sermon. _ | Thanksgiving Service. ‘The usual service will be held at the First Congregational Church on Thanksgiving morn- ing, Thursday Nov, 29, at 11 o'clock.

The following resolutions were unan- imously adopted: } WHEREAS, many of our societies employ brass bands in their funerals; and Wuerzas, these bands are condusive to a desecration of the Sabbath which reflects shame and dishonor upon christianity and the christian chnrches, and the religious growth of our people; and, Wuensas, these bands returning from the cemetery render exciting secular airs which gather great crowds of young and careless people who take advantage of the occasion to follow the bands, yell them- selves hoarse and otherwise act indecent ly to say nothing of wantonly and shame- fally desecrating the Sabbath of the Lord our God—Therefore, Be it ResoLven: that the Baptist Minister- ial Alliance of Bayanoah, Ga., will insti tute a campaign of education against this practice and invite the aid of the Evangel- ical Ministerial Alliance, all masters of Lodges, Presidents of Mutual Socities and Social Clubs, Principals of colored schools and Superintendents of Sabbath schools to join in this campaign of education and as. an in abating this nuisance, Secondly e it ae x Resorvep: that the growing fashion of holding over the mid-week deceased for Sunday burial, for no other reason than to have display funerals is a practice which ‘Geserves severe condemnation, Thirdly, de it s Resotven that everyzchristlan shall do alli his or her power to7digcontioue the use of bands in Sunday’ fuséfals;” but should the band be had any way, while we ralse no partiralar objections to dead marches from the church to the cemetery, we do object to the'*Regs” from the grave tothe hall. We are of the opinion that an army can return from the cemetery marching to the taps of a muffled drum. Fourthly’ be it : RESOLVED, that we have the highest re~ gards for the Lodges, Societies and Clubs, these resolutions are not to be construed ax a Ging at them in any particular—and that we have great faith in their willing ness to help ws bring aboyt the redress we seek which is to keep the Sabbath holy. We lovingly commend these resolutions to you our dear brethern, invoking for you and us the approyal of All Mighty God, Yours in Jesus. Committec—Rev. N. H. Whitmire, Rev J. H, May, D. D., Rey, D. W.

A private letter, written six year ago, by Mrs, Jefferson Davis, explait ing why her husband, the presiden of the Southern Confederacy, wa buried in Virginia instead of Missis sippl, has just been made public. The letter, which was read in executive session at the recent convention o the Danghters of the Confederacy it Kichmond, is caustic in some parts and Induges In some tart criticisms o! Mississippi's public men of the period at which If was written, six years ago It says she preferred Beauvoir as the resting place of her husband, but that the grave there would not be invic late, znd she could not attord $6,000 a year, the expense necessary to guard it. She says that, while Louisiana and ‘Virginia were anxlous to have the re. Tualns, Mississippi was silent until af- ter the body had been interred In Rich- mond, and then only a letter was writ- ten. The body was kept In New Or- leans a year pending the decision over a final resting place, A leading Mis- stssippi Daughter will publish a reply to Mrs, Davis, Not far many a day will the ladies who attended the meetings of the United Daughters of the Confederacy at Gulfport, Miss, the past weelk, for- get the reading there of the “post- mortem letter of Mrs. Jefferson Davis.” In this communication Mrs. Davis sought to vindicate herself for the erlt- icism of not having puried the remains of Jefferson Davis in Mississippi, and, rmong other things, she also attempt- ed an explanation of the motives which prompted her to live in the north. Mrs, Davis was particularly se- sere In her comments on the attitude of the Mississippi people toward her- self and her busband, and, although | she was sparing in her pleasant refer- ences {o other southern states, she praised Virginia in fervid rhetoric, and was particularly tender in her rei- erences to Richmond. She had much to say, too, by woy of explaiping her continued residence in the north. The communication undoubtedly look everybody unawares, It was of- fered by Mrs, A. M. C. Kimbrough, of Richmond.

PRESIDENT BROKE THE LAW. Discharge of Troops Violates Provision of Constitution. (From the New York Times.) . The action of the president in di recting the dishonorable discharge of all the enlisted men of three com- panies of infantry is entirely unprece- Gented, The announcement of it will grate harshly upon the ears of those who are accustomed to believe that they are living under a government of laws It seems incredible that the secretary of war, who is an accom: plished lawyer, can have advised the “direction” which is addressed to him, or been consulted about ft before- hand, The report of General Garlington is by no means that all the men thus discharged had been guilty elther of the lawless conduct he had been {u- vestigating or of any offense known either to clsil or military law. ‘They had simply shown an unwillingness, as he viewed it, to tall all they knew about the affray in question. If they had told all they knew, General Gar- lirgton would, he thinks, havé been able to Identify the persons actually ard criminsly responsible, compara- tively few as Le admits them to have heen, Evidently, on this state of facts, it would be absolutely out of the ques tion to frame an indictment that woula hold in any civil court, Apparently ft ‘sould be as impossible to frame chargés that would hold before a mill. tary court. The discipline of the Unit- ed States army is not a matter of ai- bitrarlness end caprice. It 1s embrac- ¢d in certain well-defined aud under- stood and ptdllshed documents—the Articles of War and the Regulations of the United States army, Courts- martial have a wider latitude than civil courts, and rightly. “Conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentle- man” is conduct which it is well that no attempt should be made to define beforehand with scientific exactness. Such must be left to the discretion of the court-martial, checked by the dls- cretion of the reviewing authority. But that a court-martial,should:have power to discharge a whcle battalion of sol- diers because they had secreted what they kuew would be a stretch of au- thority beyond the proper competency of such a tribunal. Much more be- ond the authority of the president, on the simple recommendation of his in- spector general, to extreme penalty of dishonorable cischarge ard incapacity to be employed in the military or elvil cervice of the government without any trial or pretense cf trial whatsoever. It is in fiat contravention of that pro- vision cf the Constitution which de- clares ‘that no person shall be déprived cf life, liberty or property “without ue process of aw." + WHAT LOVE OF EDU.
