TILLMAN UNAWED No One Seemed Desirous of Disputing His Views, Which He Expressed in His Usual Terse and Coloric Fashion. The efforts of the negroes of Chicago to prevent United States Senator Benjamin R. Tillman from delivering an address in that city Tuesday night in Orchestra Hall because of the position he has assumed toward the negro race, was unsuccessful. * When the South Carolina senator arrived early in the afternoon he was told of threats of injunction proceedings to prevent him from appearing on the speaker's platform and of a money consideration that had been offered if he would cancel his engagement, but Mr. Tillman declared it made no difference to him what the negroes of Chicago did—he was going to fill his engagement; and he kept his word. From the time he arrived in Chicago Senator Tillman was guarded by police and private detectives and was guarded until he left later for Fond Du Lac, Wis. This was in accordance with orders issued by Mayor, Dunne, who was scheduled to preside at the meeting, but who declined to have anything to do with the affair after a committee of negroes had visited him a few days ago and offered strenuous objections to Senator Tillman's appearance on the speaker's platform. Senator Tillman gave his address protected by forty detectives. In anticapital trouble, a number of poenies were also kept in nearby stashings reserve, but they were not violated. The audience were many negroes, and they listened to Senator Tillman's remarks, good naturedly. He leading up to his address, "Shall the United States Annex Cuba" Mr. Tillman criticised Mayor Dunne's actions, prefusing to preside at the meeting. He told that I have been an ardent mayor of this city," Mr. Dunne said. Mayor Dunne in my presence him to be here to answer questions to this audience, nor did he bring else to do so. If any he had been snubbed it is these gracious ladies who planned this meeting to secure money for the Chicago Hospital, who requested Mayor Dunne the creature of a political hour, to come forward and add his mite. I have been advertised to discuss the annexation of Cuba," announced Mr. Tillman, "but in view of the fact that I could not discuss that subject without discussing the race question I am going to go at the matter hammer and tongs, straightforward, like man." You must see your minds that equality be achieved, which the fifteenth amendment guarantees, is right and should be notwithstanding its result. After telling in the news the necdo is prevented from casting his ballot in the south, Senator Tillman said: There is a great deal more to this question than the little racket, here in Chicago. No matter what the people in the north may say or do, the white race in the south will never be dominated by the negro, an I want to tell you now that if some state should ever make an effort to save South Carolina, we would show them in their smallest that we will make it red before we make it black. God Almighty made the Caucasian better clay than the Mongolian or the Armenian, even other rate. The Ethiopian is burden bearer. He has The Savannah Tribune. GOMPERS HOLDS HIS JOB Elected for the Twenty-Fifth Time as Head of Federation of Labor. His Policy Indorsed. At the annual convention of the American Federation of Labor in Minneapolis Saturday Samuel Gompers was re-elected president for the twenty-fifth time in the twenty-six years the federation has been in existence. There was no opposing candidate. Indorsement for Gompers meant indorsement for his policy and the men who have worked with him framing and executing it The entire executive and administrative staff was reelected by acclamation. Action was taken on the proposed declaration of principles drawn up for the federation by the resolution committee. This is the declaration; 'In furtherance of our claim, namely, that our principles comprise the fullest and highest scope of human activity, and from time to time will be enhanced and advanced in accordance with the demands to satisfy human needs and desires, we recommend the following as a partial statement at this time of the economic demands of the American Federation of Labor; "Free schools, free text books, and compulsory education. "Abolition of all forms of involuntary servitude except for punishment of crime. "Unrelenting protest against the issuance and abuse of the inunction process in labor disputes. "A work day of not more than eight hours in the twenty-four-hour day. "A strict recognition of not over eight hours per day on all/federal, state or municipal work, and at not less than the prevailing per diem wage rate of class of employment in the vicinity where the work is performed. "Release from employment one day in seven. "The abolition of the contract system on public work. "The municipal ownership of public utilities. "The abolition of the sweat-shop system. "Sanitary inspection of factory, work shop, mine and home. "Liability of employers for injury to body or loss of life. "Nationalization of telegraph and telephone. "The passage of anti-child labor laws in states where they do not exist. "Woman suffrage coequal with man suffrage. "Initiative, referendum, imperative mandate and right. "We favor the system of finance whereby money shall be issued exclusively by the government with such regulations and restrictions as will protect it from manipulation by the banking interests for their own private gain." THREE RELEASED ON BOND. Men Convicted on Peonage Charges in Pensacola Given Liberty. W. S. Harlan, manager of the Jackson Lumber Company; C. C. Hilton and S. E. Huggins, who were found guilty at Pensacola, Fla., on the charge of conspiracy to commit peonage, have been released on bonds of $3,000 each. There are seven other indictments in the federal court against attachments of the Jackson Lumber Company, one other standing against the manager, Mr. Harlan. Robert Gallagher, foreman alone of several camps, will face three separate indictments. The case just finished, the government believes, was the weakest one on the docket. It took ten days to dispose of it. CITY TO SUE MAGAZINE. Charge of Libel Will Be Brought Against World's Work. Against World's Work. A resolution introduced at a meeting of the Atlanta city council calls for the institution of a suit for libel against the World's Work. The magazine published an article casting severe receptions upon the city officials in connection with the recent hot and left the impression that the city was run by a lot of men who were ready for any bloodshed where the negro was concerned. SAW MILL MEN "COME ACROSS." Appropriated $1,000 Cash for Georgia Building at Jamestown. One thousand dollars cash was appropriated by the Georgia and Florida New Mill Association, in session at Jacksonville, Tuesday, for the building fund of the Georgia building at the Jamestown exposition. W. N. Mitchell, chairman of the Georgia commission, appeared before the meeting of the association and special invitation delivered an admonition to the advantages of building at Jamesburg. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 1. 1906. ADMITS HIS GUILT Old Joe Smith, Head of Mormon Church, Fined $300. Addresses the Court and Pleads for Leniency—Case Was Made on Ad- vent of His Forty-Third on List of Progeny. At Salt Lake City, Utah, Friday, Joseph F. Smith, president of the Mormon church, appeared in the district court before Judge Ritchie, pleaded guilty to a charge of having too many wives, and a fine of $300 was imposed. The charge under which the Mormon prophet was arrested and fined was based on the recent birth of Presi- dent Smith's forty-third child, born to his fifth wife. Earlier in the day counsel for Smith secured a transfer of the case from the criminal division of that court, where Judge Armstrong presided, to Judge Ritchie's division. After the non recess, when the courtroom was practically deserted, Smith went before Judge Ritchie, offered his plea and the fine was imposed. The old man addressed the court. He stated that his last marriage was in 1684. All his marriages, the said, were entered into with the sanction of the church, and, as they believed, with the approval of the Lord. According to his faith, and the law of the church, they were eternal in duration. He continued: "In the tacit general understanding that was had in 1890 and the years subsequent thereto, regarding what were classed as the old cases of polygamy, I have appreciated the magnanimity of the American people in not enforcing a policy that in their minds was unnecessarily harsh, but which assigned the settlement o. this difficult problem to the onward progress of time. Since 1890 a very large percentage of the polygamous families have ceased to exist, until now the number within the jurisdiction of this court is very small, and marriages in violation of the law have been and now are prohibited. In view of this situation, which has fixed with certainty a result that cannot be easily measured, up, the family relations in the old cases of that time have been generally left undisturbed. So far as my own case is concerned, I, like others who had entered into solemn religious obligations, sought, to the best of my ability, to comply, with all requirements pertaining to the trying position in which we were placed. I have felt secure in the protection of that magnanimous sentiment which was extended as an olive branch in 1890 and subsequent years to those old cases of plural family relationships which came within its purview, as did mine. "When I accepted the manifesto issued by President Wilford Woodruff, I did not understand that I would be expected to abandon and discard my wives. Knowing the sacred covenants and obligations which I had assumed by reason of these marriages, I have conscientiously tried to discharge the responsibilities attending them without being offensive to any one. I have never guarded my family relations before the public, nor have I felt a spirit of defiance against the law, but, on the contrary, I have always desired to be a law-abiding citizen. In considering the trying position in which I have been placed, I trust that your honor will exercise such leniency, in your sentence, as the law and justice will permit." Judge Ritchie imposed the maximum fine, but omitted the jail sentence of from one day to six months, which he might have imposed under the Utah statute. SCHOOLBOY SHOOTS TEACHERS. Because his teacher refused him permission to go hunting, James Dougherty, Jr.. 16 years old, shot and seriously wounded Professor J. F. Kohler, principal, and Meade Punxsutawney, assistant, in a school at Punxsutawney, Pa. Professor Snyder's condition is critical. PASSES FOR POLITICIANS. Western Roads Will Continue to Favor Makers of the Laws. Executive officials of the western roads at a meeting in Chicago entered into a new pass agreement. The roads were unable to agree to the abolition of all interstate transportation, but did agree to abolish all transportation which could in any way affect traffic. An effort was made to get an agreement to do away with political transportation, but it was unsuccessful. The roads will continue, if they see fit, to issue passes to members of legislatures and to politicians. HIGHER WAGES GRANTED To 30,000 Cotton Mill Operatives In Fall River—Threatened Strike and Demands Were Granted. The great army of cotton mill employees in Fall River, Mass., have won a battle for an increase in wages, and 30,000 operatives will come under a scale giving them 10 per cent more than the present rate. The granting of the advance by the manufacturers prevented a strike, the workmen having voted to stop work in all mills if the new schedule was not accented. M. C. D. Borden, an independent cotton manufacturer, employing 5,000 operatives, took the lead in meeting the demands of the mill hands by announcing that the scale of wages in his mills would be raised 10 per cent. No demand had been made upon the proprietor of Fall River iron works mills, and his action practically forced the other mill manufacturers to grant the increase. The new pay scale affects seventy corporations operating ninety-two mills, besides the iron works plant. The manufacturers associations agreement to pay the increase is for a perled of six months, but provision is made for extending it. Between November, 1903, and July, 1904, the Fall River operatives suffered reductions aggregating 22 12 per cent. Last spring a part of the cut was restored, and in view of the continued prosperous business condition, the operatives demanded a complete resumption of the 1903 scale. It is considered probable that other cotton mills ultimately will be benefited by the determined stand taken by the Fall River unions. RAWLINGS SHOWS DREAD. Old Man Says Conference Knocked Out His Last Ray of Hope As the day for the execution of J. G. Rawlings at Valdosla, Ga. approaches, the old man shows unmistakable signs of dread, though he has professed all along to be anxious for that day to arrive. The announcement that his attorney would not make any further effort in his behalf threw a damper over his hopes, and Friday evening he sent an urgent message to Rev M. A. Morgan, local Methodist minister, asking him to come to the fall. Mr. Morgan, responded very promptly, supposing that Rawlings wanted some spiritual advice or comfort. "I just want to tell you," said Rawlings to the minister, when the latter reached the cell in which the condemned man was confined, "that the way things are going now my blood will be upon the hands of the South Georgia Conference, which is to meet here. If the preachers hadn't petitioned the governor to respite Alf Moore and me so that both would be hanged on the same day after the conference, the chances are that the nigger would have said something on the gallows that would have saved me. As it is, the members of the conference have wiped away every ray of hope I had." MERGER OF THREE COMPANIES Effected by Stockholders at Meeting Held in Norfolk, Va. The Norfolk and Southern Railway company is to be the title of the various eastern North Carolina and Virginia railway lines with terminals in Norfolk, Va. This was decided Friday when the stockholders of the Norfolk and Southern Railroad company, the Virginia Coat Railroad company and the John L. Roper Lumber company met and effected the merger of the three companies, GUILTY IN PEONAGE CASES. The jury at Pensacolz, Fla., in the famous peonage cases, at 11 o'clock. Friday night, returned a verdict of guilty against W. S. Harlan, manager of the Jackson Lumber company, C. C. Hilton and S. F. Huggins, who were charged with conspiracy to commit peonage. The jury deliberated five hours before reaching a verdict PEARY ARRIVES AT SYDNEY. Disembarks from the Weather-Beaten Roosvelt and Joins Wife. Flying the flag of the United States, which had been placed nearer the pole than any other national standard, and weather-beaten and disabled, the Peary Arctic steamer Roosvelt arrived at Sydney, C. B., Friday, under sail and steam after sixteen mouths vain effort to reach the pole. Peary went ashore almost immediately after the steamer came to anchor and joined Mrs. Peary, who has been in Sydney for two weeks, waiting for her husband's return. EDITOR BRINGS SUIT For Campaign Libel Against the Atlanta Journal. ESTILL WANTS $50,000 Action Is Based on Charge of Buying Negro Votes in the Recent Strenuous Georgia Gubernatorial Campaign. Col. John H. Estill, editor-in-chief of the Savannah Morning News, and recent candidate for governor of Georgia, has filed a suit for $50,000 damages against the Atlanta Journal for alleged libel during the recent gubernatorial campaign in Georgia. The suit was filed Saturday afternoon with the clerk of the superior court of Fulton county in Atlanta by Attorney Twiggs and Oliver of Savannah. The alleged libel, it is charged, grew out of a card which the Journal published on August 3, 1906, the card bearing the signature of "G. A. Koller, of Meinhard, Chatham County, Georgia." Among other things said by Koller against Colonel Estill was the charge that he had purchased negro votes in Savannah, along with ward politicians, for the purpose of defeating farmers for a fence or no fence law. Colonel Estill claims that the publication of the card greatly injured him both as a citizen and a business man, and that the card was libelous. He asked that the Atlanta Journal Company be made to pay him $50,000 for said alleged libel. There was a great deal of card writing, along with other writing during the heated campaign in Georgia, and a lot of things were said that were not complimentary. Most of this however, could not be regarded as libelous in the eyes of the law. Colonel Estill believes that the card about him in the Journal, was of a different type from the other campaign stuff, and he takes the position that to publicly charge that a citizen has bought votes is rhinous to his character in the community in which he lives. TILLMAN DEFIES NEGROES. Says It is Absurd for Them to Think They Can "Gae" Hm. Senator Fillman of South Carolina passed through Chicago Saturday on his way to South Haven, Mich. When informed that the negroes of Chicago had protested against the delivery of a lecture by him in Chicago, he said: "I am surprised that there should be any talk in this city of a negro uprising to prevent a lecture which is for the benefit of a hospital which has never yet closed its doors to one of the negro race. It is absurd for the negroes to think that they can prevent a senator of the United States from talking. They might as well try to stop President Roosevelt. I shall not change my lecture in the slightest degree. The subject is. The Annexation of Cuba, and this question is so interwoven with the negro problem of this country, that it will be impossible for me to avoid discussing the latter." RCBBERS "SWIPED" PAYROLL. Adams Express Office Looted and Burned—Six Hundred Dollars Gone. The Adams Express office and the railroad station at Kayford, W. Va., on the Cabin Creek branch of the Chesapeake and Ohio, was looted and burned by robber's early Saturday morning. Of $6,000 taken, more than $5,000 belonged to C. V. Boxley, a railroad contractor, and was for the day's payroll. CUBAN REBELS REAPPEAR. Armed and Mounted Bands Reported at Cienfuegos and Guines. A Havana dispatch says: The reappearance of armed bands was reported Saturday at Cienfuegos and Guines. The mayor of Cienfugos reports that a considerable number of mounted men entered the outskirts of the city, but afterwards retreated to the eastward. LONE BANDIT COMES TO GRIEF. Notorious Train Robber Overpowered, Single-Handed by Conductor. Claude Randall, alls Truehart, the daring bandit of the Southwest, who held up a train three weeks ago and relieved the passengers of valuables, was captured early Monday while trying another hold-up on a Chicago and Alton fast train. F. B. Heywood, conductor of the train, single-handed, overpowered the armed bandit. Truehart had secured over $2,700, besides valuable jewelry, when captured. NO.9. TEDDY IS BACK HOME. Arrives at Washington in Fine Fettle After Tour to Canal Zone—Trip Pleasant and Enjoyable. Completing a remarkable trip to Panama, during which he traveled several thousand miles by sea and visited not only the isthmus, but Porto Rico as well, and volcing his thorough enjoyment of the entire voyage. President Roosevelt returned to Washington at 10:42 o'clock Monday night. The trip up the Potomac on the converted yacht Mayflower, to which he and his party were transferred from the Louisiana at Piney Point Monday afternoon, was made without special incident. As the Mayflower pulled into the dock at the rear of the office of the commandant at the navy yard, Miss Ethel Roosevelt, the president's daughter, and Miss Hagner, Mrs. Roosevelt's secretary, were awaiting to greet the party. Miss Roosevelt immediately rushed on board as soon as the gang plank was laid, and affectionately greeted her father and mother. There were also at the dock to welcome the president Captain McCoy, United States Army, and Lieutenant Commander Key of the marine corps, the president's aides and the commandant and other officials of the navy yard, and the Uruguayan charge d'affaires. The president landed within ten minutes after the arrival of the Mayflower. The president and Mrs. Roosevelt reached the white house shortly after 11 o'clock. As the president alighted from his carriage, he shook hands with all the attaches and others waiting on the portico. Speaking of the trip, the president said: "We had a very pleasant, very enjoyable trip, and I am deeply impressed with the United States Navy, with Panama and with Porto Rico." The Panama canal, it was stated by the president, will be the subject of a special message, and consequently on that subject the president will say nothing at this time. DUNNE TAKES WATER. Mayor of Chicago Refuse to Act as Cnairman at Tillman Speaking. A committee of Chicago negroes called upon Mayor Dunne Monday, and asked that he use the police force, if necessary, to prevent the delivering of an address on the race question by Senator Tillman on the ground that the address would be a menace to public safety. Mayor Dunne, after receiving the committee, wrote a letter to Mrs. Aclee Keeler, secretary of the Chicago Union Hospital, for the benefit of which Senator Tillman is to speak, declining to act as chairman of the meeting. "I am a believer in the orderly processes of law and cannot agree with Senator Tillman in the views he holds, and therefore I must decline," he said, "to accept the chairmanship at the meeting." COOPER BOBS UP AGAIN. Notwithstanding Contrary Report He Moves Once More in Rawlings Case. In the superior court at Valdosta, Ga., Monday, John R. Cooper, lawyer for J. G. Rawlings, his sons, Milton and Jesse Rawlings, moved that the verdicts in the cases he set aside on the ground that the records did not show that they were present during the trial or when the verdicts were rendered. Judge Mitchell refused to consider the motion, as Georgia law does not require records to make such showing. Mr. Cooper then filed an appeal from the decision and the court refused to 'sign the appeal. The case now goes to the state supreme court on this technical point. It remains to be seen whether Governor Terrell will again grant respites on these grounds. KEEN SWORDS FOR RIOTERS. Wild Scenes of Disorder and Lawlessness on Streets of Hamilton, Ont. Never in the history of Hamilton, Ontario, were such scenes of disorder and lawlessness seen as were enacted in the principal streets of the city Saturday night. Scores of rioters, sympathizing with the striking street car men, felt the weight of policemen's night sticks and the keen edge of the soldiers' swords in conflicts on the principal streets. As a result nearly one hundred people are in the hospital for treatment. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society Treasury of State of Georgia.

The individual plant for sewage disposal may often be a well and a cesspool—the cesspool, once a bogy to sanitarians, being now justified by the septic tank and the sand filter, both of which principles are employed in its construction. Two points must be recognized here. Such a covering of the well that the grave danger of surface pollution may be avoided, for it is most essential that no pollution should be wasted through covering boards. Also the direction of drainage, which is generally towards the nearest water course, must be such that the water supply may not be below the point of sewage disposal. With these simple precautions of soil, covering of well and proper location of water and drainage, the isolated country house owner may feel secure.—The Atlantic. P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President.

Considerable attention has been directed toward rice as a health food since the fighting qualities of the Japanese are being so widely discussed. It has always been commonly believed that rice lacks the ingredients that help make muscle for the human body. However, the most important article of diet of the Japanese is rice, and we have recently, if not before, had occasion to particularly note the physical strength of these small people of Japan. The Philadelphia Vegetarian Society has lately been paying special attention to this subject and has made investigations through Professor S. A. Knapp, who has a simple explanation of this supposed inconsistency. Rice, as it is eaten in America, is not a muscle-making food simply because in American mills the outer husks and bran of the rice kernel are removed by polishing, and thus is removed that part of the rice which contains the protein and which is the most nutritious part of the rice. In Japan the outside coating of the rice kernel is retained and hence great strength of muscle is developed in the Japanese.—What to Eat. WHY YOUNG TREES ARE BEST. These are the advantages of planting young trees: They can be trained to the desired form better than older trees. A two or three-year-old tree is branched and has had its head already formed by the nurseryman; a yearling tree of the apple, pear and sweet cherry is usually unbranched. Sometimes the nurseryman has headed the tree too high or has not been careful enough about starting out the scaffold limbs, and it is difficult to correct the form of the head after it has been started. There is an unmistakable preference for low-headed trees, due chiefly to the need of economy and efficiency in spraying and harvesting. The single disadvantage of low-heading is greater inconvenience in tillage. This is much more than offset by the advantages, in the judgment of most growers. Within ten years the height recommended for heading apple trees in the East has been reduced at least two feet. The bearing of this on the matter of yearling trees is that the grower can head a yearling tree where he pleases—Indianapolis News. CLEANING LEATHER. Leather articles must not be kept in too dry places as the heat will cause them to peel off. Neither must they be kept in damp places, lest they get moldy. There is no royal road to cleaning leather goods. Wash them with soap and water and rub them until they are polished. There is a varnish for alligator skin goods, and when properly used, articles made of this material come out as bright as new. WALTER S. SCOTT, Secretary and Tr. cas. New York.

BY NEWELL DWIGHT HILLIS, Pastor of Plymouth Church. ```markdown ``` Now that 232 years have passed, Thanksgiving has become our first American holiday. It is essentially the feast of the family. It celebrates the home and sings the fireside joys. The day really celebrates a deliverance from danger. The summer of 1623 was unfriendly and the harvests failed. The Indian hunters retreated into the forest, food and game were scarce, and with terror the Pilgrim fathers looked forward to the winter and possible starvation and death. In their hour of extremity the minister announced that on the last Thursday of November there would be a day of fasting and prayer on which they would commend themselves and their enterprise unto God. But scarcely had they reached the cabin where the service was to be held than the sentinel shouted the announcement that a ship with weather-beaten sails and blackened sides was entering the harbor. The good ship brought food against the winter, seed against the spring, friends and helpers against the enemy. Delirious with joy, the Pilgrims came together a second time for thanksgiving, and so this day was born—this day celebrating the festival of the family. Ours is the only nation in the world that by a happy holiday glorifies the home as the first of America's institutions. If other years have furnished grounds for gratitude, this year gives them by way of pre-eminence. Let us be thankful— For four bins stretching across the continent from ocean to ocean filled with wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, timothy, clover, alfalfa, cotton-sheaves ripened for the hunger of herd and flock, and above all, food for man.

For abundant rains, that have filled the rivers, fed the water springs and reservoirs, and rejoiced the cattle upon a thousand hills. For the comforts and conveniences for the home and fireside that have brought universal happiness to cottage and hamlet and mansion. For the match, that has brought the fire of Prometheus down from heaven and given warmth for cold and comfort for distress. For stoves and coal, instead of the house blackened with soot, and a meal cooked with freshly cut chips from the tree. For the cable, that has brought foreign capitals near, anchoring London just outside Sandy Hook, and making Bombay the second turn on the left, just around the corner. For these steel tracks, that have brought us fruits from the sunny South, furs from the frozen North, with rice and sugar and coal, and made the people of the snow and the winter to enjoy the fruits of the tropics. For the reaper, instead of the sickle, furnishing bread to the world. For the looms, that enable one man in one year to clothe a thousand men against the rains of summer and the snow of winter. For the trip hammer, that has multiplied the stroke of man's arm; and the locomotive, that has lengthened the stride of his foot; and the tools, that have hastened the movement of his fingers. For the spectroscope, that has made us at home in foreign planets. For the telephone, that has hawed man's labor and brought distant acquaintances near. For the X-ray, that has made the body transparent to surgeons and physicians. For anaesthetics, that have lessened pain, robbed surgery of its terrors and relieved sufferers of their agony. For photography, that preserves for us the faces of our departed dead. For the lessening of class hatred and the return of the spirit of good THANKSGIVING DAY. ALTHURD BROOKS For the announcement that never have there seen so few children working in store and shop, or so large a proportion in the school-room. For the fact that all the paths that lead to office and honor and wealth are now open to all poor boys. That to the four desirable vocations called the professions have now been added forty more that offer splendid prizes to young men who are fitted for the task. For the lessening of drunkenness in our country. For the new enthusiasm in municipal reform. For the enormous gifts this year poured out for college, library and church and social reform. For the strengthening of the home and of the family ties, and the increasing movement against easy divorce. For the increasing honor and dignity that attaches to the Republic. For the press, sowing the whole land with the good seed of wisdom THA and knowledge; for books and magazines, that have exalted the imagination while they have inspired the intellect. For the return of the tides of faith in the church and the decline of infidelity. For the lessening of pessimism and the increase of joy in life. For the fact that the whole trend is up grade instead of down grade; that the gains are universal and immeasurable. Never were the reasons for Thanksgiving so many or so weighty. Our people are justified in looking forward to a golden era, when all young hearts shall be turned toward school and church, when all feet will be slandalled for a long upward march along the paths of happiness and peace. Thankful to-day for barns overflowing with grain, for stores overflowing with goods, for stuffed shocks and shelves, for homes overflowing with happiness, on which God's holiest sunlight falls; thankful for laws that are just, for liberty that is universal, for new and lustrous forms of beauty and of truth, let us be chieny thankful for God's unspeakable gift in the Christ, who brought immortality to light and who, having redeemed the world from sln and vice, gocs on to plant a great, sweet hope within the heart and points all those who on Thanksgiving Day front an empty chair—points them, I say, upward, where there are other ransoms and the Father's House, and where on a new Thanksgiving Day, the "family circle shall be reunited amidst scenes of unwonted joy." New York World. ```markdown ``` A Lord of the years! To Thee we bring The tribute of our praise, For happy memories of the past And hopes for coming days. Fair bend the sunny autumn skies; And nature, freed from toil, With smiling eyes and generous hands Pours out her wine and oil. She paints her autumn sunset clouds With tints of gold and rose; And lends the year her brightest flowers To crown its peaceful close. On busy mart and harvest-field There rests a Sabbath calm, As in Thy temple-courts we lift Our glad Thanksgiving psalm. To Thee, O Lord! our harvest hymn With glowing hearts we raise; With grateful memories of the past And hone for future days! —Irving Allen, in Pilot. ANKSGIVING I Arrangement of the Table. In arranging the Thanksgiving table, do not, in the name of common sense, go to the absurdity of using ribbon decorations, which really have no raison d'être on any table. The snowy damask cloth or the pollished mahogany or oak needs no such fictitious and unmeaning frivols, as lows and loops of ribbon. If flowers are used, golden chrysanthemums, dark red asters or spikes of scarlet calvai—gifts of the late autumn—are always appropriate. Possibly some one has brought home sprays of bittersweet or branches of scarlet barberry from the latest outing. If so, well and good. Fruit always makes an effective centre for the Thanksgiving table, and one truer to tradition than flowers; not oranges, nor yet California grapes in this climate, but apples, red and yellow, burnished until one can see her reflection in them; yellow-brown pears, and the rich purple, pink or green Niagara grapes. Arrange the fruit on a low glass or silver dish, placing a reflector under it, if possible. An old pewter platter, an Indian basket or jar or a half pumpkin hollowed out and lined with oiled paper, all make pretty and appropriate fruit holders. Arrange the fruit with an eye to the color effect, and this, with the scarlet of the radishes or deeper red of the cranberry, the crisp green and white of the celery and rich brown of the turkey, will give all the color necessary. If dinner is served in the early afternoon, no artificial light will be needed. If lights must be used, candles are the best means of lighting, as they do not vilify the atmosphere of the room. The tea gardens of Northern India extend over 500,000 acres, and they produce 190,000,000 pounds of tea per annum, at a profit of about $100 an acre. THANKSGIVING DINNER: Oyster Soup Celery Pickled Peaches, Mints, Grape Jelly Roast Turkey. Chestnut Stuffing, Gibber Cravty Cranberry Sauce. Mashed Potato, Mushard Squash. Cream Onions, Succotash. Cabbage Salad, Crochers and Cheese, Pumpkin Pie. Mince Pie. Dutternut Ice Cream. Home made Candies Apples, Nuts Coffee. --- DAY. —From the Youth's Companion. The Home Festival. Thanksgiving Day is one of those home festivals whose popularity will never wane while American women love their homes. It is the great family festival of the year. It bears no resemblance to the Harvest Home festivals of England, which were celebrated with rout and riot and in public places. While Thanksgiving Day is recognized and appointed by public proclamation, it is in no sense a public day. It is never celebrated by public processions like the Fourth of July. There is nothing to break the Sabbath-like peace of the day except the occasional parties of juvenile mummers in some cities. THANKSGIVING DAY. November's fields . . brown and sere; November's winds are bleak and drear; The thin ice covers lake and mere Thanksgiving Day. The sluggish brooklet lonely creeps; The apple bough its secret keeps; Under dead leaves the violet sleeps Thanksgiving Day. Afar beneath the wintry sky The miles of leafless forest lie; To Southland bent the wild birds fly Thanksgiving Day. Neath village spire, round family board A wealth or joyful thanks is poured To Him who him and barn hath stored Thanksgiving Day. The sailor on the far blue sea Turns back in yearning memory To love and home and mother's knee Thanksgiving Day. O t o d and Father of us all. Who marks and mourns the sparrow's fall. Each homesick wanderer homeward call Thanksgiving Day. Interesting TO WOMEN As has been said many times, some of the more fashionable tailors are kept busy all the year round by their clientele of fashionable customers in making regular tailor-made costumes of cheviot and tweed, made always on the regulation model of plain skirt and coat, the latter medium in length, the skirt always short. No trimming is used on these costumes, and they are always smart. The fashions in the coats vary from the medium-length fitted coat to the Norfolk or Eton jacket. At the moment the Norfolk jacket is the favorite model. For morning wear these are always in demand and are always safe investments.—From the Special Autumn Number of Harper's Bazaar. Dress of Chinese Girl Students. Dress of Chinese girl students. Chinese girl students are no longer to be allowed to dress as they please. So the Board of Education has decreed. Such an announcement suggests an opening in China for a rational dress league. Little "illies" accustomed to loose "pants," long jacket and wabby shoes are now, by order of that august body, the Board of Education, to don a "physical exercise" costume, after which they will appear in the class-room in suitable attire for ordinary school wear. The new rule may raise a smile, but along with the anti-foot binding crusade, which now receives official support, it points to the dawn of a new, era for the heightened women of Cathay. Tall Queens. Kings have a mysterious tendency to get married to wives taller than themselves. Cassell's Saturday Journal assures us that "there is hardly a king in Christendom whose consort does not overtop him by a head" King Edward is quite six inches shorter than Queen Alexandra. The Czar is overtopped a full head by his consort. 'Kaiser Wilhelm is of the medium height, but his Empress is much taller and that is, they say, the reason why the proud Kaiser will never consent to be photographed beside his wife unless she sits while he stands. The King of Italy, short and thick set, hardly comes up to the shoulder of the tall, athletic Queen Helena. The King of Portugal, though stower, is less tall than his Queen. Even the Prince of Wales is shorter. a good four inches than the Princess. The young King of Spain is much shorter than his new bride. The Queen of Denmark towers above her royal spouse, and is one of the tallest Queens in Europe.—London News. Boxing the Ears. A reprehensible practice not unknown to cross and worried mothers is the ready punishment of boxing children's ears, all ignorant of the danger of such a habit. There are several obvious things fraught with danger to the ear, such as pickling with a pin, but people don't think—not having the matter explained—why a blow on the side of the head is such a bad thing. The reason why children's ears should not be boxed is that the passage of the ear is closed by a thin membrane especially adapted so that it is influenced by every impulse of air, and with nothing but the air to support it internally. What, then, can be more likely to injure this membrane than a sudden and forecible compression of the air in front of it? If any one designed to overstretch or break the membrane he could scarcely devise a more efficient means than bringing the hand suddenly down upon the passage of the ear, thus driving the air violently before it with no possibility for its escape but by the membrane giving way. Many children are made deaf in this way.—Woman's Life. Autumn Hats. From present indications it would seem as though the hats for the autumn were to be generally becoming. There are some most eccentric shapes to be noted, but these are in the minority, and the others are very charming—simple, soft lines, trimmings gracefully disposed and apparently some idea of having the hat suited to the individual wearer. Both colored and black hats are to be in style to match costumes are still the rule; the all-black hat, that most useful headgear, is to be omnipresent, in both small and large shapes. Rough and smooth felt and beaver hats will be in fashion, but velvet hats for all more formal occasions will undoubtedly be in great demand. The beaver cloth of softest texture, such as lends itself readily to the soft draped toques and turbans, and is to be had in all shades, is to be extremely smart, and most popular trimmed with velvet or silk, flowers or feathers. Ostrich tips and cocks' plumes are the only feathers permitted. The wearing of algrettes, always so effective, is considered such an act of barbarians that few women are willing to acknowledge themselves so hard-hearted as to do it, and consequently the fashion is most unpopular.—From the Special Autumn Fashion Number of Harper's Bazar. The Dominant American Woman In America a spirit that may be called cosmopolitan, in contrast with that which exhausts itself within the four walls of home, animates the well nourished, successful class. Housekeeping must become a matter of wards and precincts if it is to satisfy the craving for motion. The dominant woman is athletic, and seeks prestige in following sports like automobiling, golf, riding and walking; often she Indulges in the half sentimental pleasures of handicrafts that belong to mediaeval Italy or aboriginal Mexico and the practice of a mild aesthetics that relieves ileus muscles. These woman are highly co-ordinated, with a developed sense of beauty and an ability to perform fine and varied but not heavy tasks. Industry, with today's rude surroundings opens no avenue to the exercise of their delicate and nerous powers; nor could the factory process reawaken their powerful motives or redirect their primitive zest of life, now obscured by the sudden phenomena of leisure. Their new vehicles for ancient energies will be found in philanthropy, politics, municipal government, child saving—in that social work for the furtherance of which these women are so rapidly multiplying associations and clubs.—Professor Patten in the Independent. The $ ^{\circ} $ Toilet Pumice Stone. A toilet specialist says, regarding the removal of superfluous hair: "I do not hesitate to say that no depilatory is known that will remove superfluous hair, never to return, short of burning the skin deeply, and then there is an indelible scar. The pastes that are sometimes recommended for the removal of the troublesome down are more or less dangerous, because they must be used hot, generally, and in outlining off the hair, the skin frequently comes with it. And yotion strong enough to take off hair will hurt the skin beyond doubt. The needle, to which so many resort, may, or it may not, remove the hair; it is always a painful and extremely expensive process. "The little mineral stone referred to as a toilet pumice is so easily used; costs almost nothing; can not possibly hurt the skin in any way, and has been found efficacious by so many that I wonder why the majority of women will not take the trouble to use it. "Pumice powder" is not the thing. The pumice should be in a lump, not too large, not in the least coarse, not easily scratched, and very easily applied. Some are "very much coarser than others, and these may be used to removed callosities from the hands and feet. A suitable stone can be had of any first class druggist for five cents, to one dollar, according to the mounting. The piece of stone should not cost more than ten cents." Fashion NUotcs. Most of the coats have three-quarter sleeves. Many skirts are plaited in groups, the plaits being stitched flat well below the hips. Long sleeves characterize Peter Pan waists for fall which are made in flannel, silk and serge. No house gowns of any kind as yet have long sleeves, but many of them have three-quarter sleeves. A gun metal buckle is the only deviation from pure white that one girl will accept upon her morning costumes. Soutache braids are used to trim children's frocks, too, but they are applied less elaborately than on the frocks and gowns of elder people. Among the brooches there are numerous button shapes. A new one is of mother-of-pearl rimmed with gold and centred by a single turquoise. Some of the autumobile rubber coats for protection in sudden storms have a most attractive sheen, and well deserve their name "satin rubber." Velvet collars and cuffs, buttons, and stitched strappings, with an occasional buckle, are the principal decorations used in separate tailored coats. Wreath brooches of tiny gems or tinted enabel are dainty. For fastening laces there are the little flower basket brooches set with the finest stones. Some fluffy bow, large artificial flower or striking ornament usually finishes the corsage of dressy Princess gowns. One French model has a row of roses. In softly-tinted ribbon all around a wide bertha. That is a charming princess gown on which the fullness about the waist, instead of being but out in the shaping of the garment, it gathered into little pannels by several horizontal rows of shirring.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1906. THE colored people ask for no special favors, simply common justice, that's all. PARENTS should keep their boys and girls of tender ages at home at nights. Entertain- ments are a curse to them. GREAT is the man who makes something of himself under difficulties. This is the thought that should be uppermost in the minds of our young men who are struggling for ascendency. LET us use some of the powers we exert in discussing our enemies to better our weakness. Do this and we would be in a better condition to withstand the darts of others. It should be the purpose of every colored person to maintain friendly relations with their white neighbors. We are living here together and should do so in a peaceful manner. The President has opened the door of hope to those discharged men of the 25th Infantry who can give a clear record of themselves at the time of the alleged trouble at Brownsville. Some of the young men who frequents places of amusements think that it is a big thing for them to act disorderly. Their action is always an index of their character, and of course they are thus judged by good people. The carrying of concealed weapons is a grave crime, and this should be emphatically taught our young men, many of whom it is claimed, are constantly violating the laws by having in their pockets pistols or dangerous knives. These they attempt to use on the least provocation. We are in favor of high license and a restricted territory because it will cause many whis key dives ran by "Dagoes" to be closed. These dives are the worst ones in the city and are sapping the vitals out of many of our people. THE Chatham county chain gang is a criminal school for young offenders, especially those who have committed the first offense. These young fellows are placed among hardened criminals and when they merge therefrom they are fit subjects for nothing. The reformatory is the thing. THE city is infested with pool rooms where many of our boys in knee pants and others not much older are led into mischief. Those places are breed holes of crimes and should not be allowed to operate. Our ministers and leading men should unite in requesting city council to close them up. Our young ones must be protected by closing to them auch infamous places. From Atlanta, it is stated that the colored people are leaving by the hundreds. It is claimed that the white tonghs intend making it "hot" for them during the Christmas holidays, and the colored people are being sufficiently discreet by moving away. This exodus is already being felt by the business men, many of whom are complaining and anxious to have the fears of the colored people quieted and they remain in the city. We can not blame the people for leaving after being so badly treated by the recent mob without any protection of the law. THE grand jury of the Superior court has recommended $5,000 a year for the maintenance of night schools for white pupils but not a penny for the thousands of colored children who are roaming the streets being denied the privilege of attending school on account of the lack sufficient facilities. The grand jury has also failed to note the much needed repairs that should be given the buildings now used for school purposes. Some day, it is hope that our white friends will note the injustice directed against the colored, children and remedy same. It is further hope that this day is not far distant. It is very graifying to note the number of indictments and in many cases convictions being made against white men in various parts of the South for peonage. This means the second emancipation of a large class of our more unfortunate people in the rural districts of whom advantages without number have been taken. And yet the white man wants the Negro to remain in these districts. THE Macon judge has decided that the colored men of that city cannot organize a lodge of Elks. That does not effect the Elks in other parts of Georgia. In Atlanta the fight is being made on the Knights of Pythias of the State. Our white friends declare that we should imitate whatever is good in them and yet when we attempt to help ourselves by, having such organizations, they become inconsistent and attempt to break them up. Some of our white friends are queer beings. THE democratic leader, John Sharp Williams of Mississippi claims that the great prosperity of his State is due to the disfranchisement of the Negro. What a silly claim. Georgia's prosperity is far greater than that of Mississippi and yet Georgia has no disfranchising laws. Mr Williams should use better argument to boost his cause. If he would put down the mob spirit in his State then we would assure him that its prosperity would be more substantially felt. BISNOP WARD before the Methodist Conference at Milledgeville, Ga., says: "There is one thing and one thing alone, capable of solving the race problem, that is the religion of Jesus Christ. We must save and educate the colored people of the south. If the Christian religion can't save the Negro in America, neither can it save the Negro in Africa, and if it cannot save the coated man wherever he may be located why then, my brethren, it cannot save the white man. There is no religion that will hold or is worth the having that cannot save any and every man anywhere and to the attmost. We must treat the Negro chartitally and as a superior race, as we commonly suppose ourselves to, he should treat an interior. The mob spirit which breaks out occasionally may make some of us feel a doubt as to the great superiority of our race. Let us stand for the salvation of these people through the right kind of Christian education, and in this way prove ourselves the superior race." AMONG the press dispatches during the week is the following from Lexington, Kv.: Suits to break the will of the late Major Barak G. Thomas, nester of the American turf, who died here last May, have been compromised. Mr and Mrs W. K. Howe and their daughter, Malina Howe of Florence, S. C., will receive $1,500 and $14,500 respectively. "Aunt" Magaret Pryor, the aged negress who was a servant of Major Thomas for nearly fifty years receives all of the estate not disposed of through legacies, her share amounting to about $30,000. The old servant will become mistress of "Dixiana" one of the most noted stock farms in the South. She will also be paid $2,000 dividend by the New York Jockey Club to the stock farm. Electioner having won the Futurity. It is believed the Pryor woman will sell Dixiana. At the recent session of the white Baptist Convention at Carrersville over which ex-Governor Northern presided, strong resolutions were adopted against lawlessness and urging the members of that denomination to discourage mob gatherings. If every white Baptist of the state would carry out the words of the resolutions not only in not participating in mob gatherings, but use every moral courage in preventing others from doing likewise—in fact if the best white men of the State would act as they think about mob law this would be a thing of the past and there would be no trouble whatever about the securing of laborers, etc. ONE Mr. Goodwin, a white man of this city, has evolved in his mind that God intentionally made the Negro inferior to all races and has invited the aid of the white ministers to prove it. We are afraid that Mr. Goodwin and all who think as he does will loose many good nights rest over this point. They had better employ their time more profitably in endeavoring to maintain a more friendly relation between the races. The colored tax payers of this state pay their proportion in supporting the old confederate soldiers and widows. In return their schools should be better maintained. In every congressional district in the State there will be agricultural colleges for the whites. The State does not pay a rent to maintain one colored high school, for that reason the colored public school system should be improved. In Mississippi July of last year, a colored man boarded a passenger, car failing, to find a smoker for colored passengers went into the car used for white smokers. In abusive manner he was ejected by the conductor. He sought legal advice and filed suit in the United States Court. He received a verdict of $100.00 and costs upon the ground that the railroad company should have given equal accommodation even to the smoker. This is quite a victory, especially having such a verdict from a Mississippi jury. In this State there are certain railroads that fail to furnish a smoking car for colored patrons, notably on the night trains of the Central of Georgia. A similar suit brought against them in the United States Courts would undoubtedly remedy the evil. We are vehemently against all incendiary utterances, especially those having to do with the wellbeing of any class of citizens. We are as strongly in favor of free speech and do not agree with those who are endeavoring to prevent Senator Tillman from giving utterance to his thoughts. In his talks Mr. Tillman can do us no harm. There are too many right thinking people in this country who do not and will never subscribe to his inconsistent and many times bombastic utterances. The "Clansman" tends to create mischief but Senator Tillman's talk has a far different effect and in fact the people go to hear him mainly on account of the "pitch fork" reputation that he has, that's all. And even then they are still like Mayor Dunne of Chicago who in refusing to preside at the Tillman lecture, said that "I am a believer in the orderly process of the law and cannot agree with Senator Tillman in the views he holds." ENCOURAGING REPORT. Results of State Fair will be Soon Given. It has been stated by all who attended the recent State Fair that it was a great success in all departments, far greater than the most sanguine anticipated. At present it is impossible to point or give an accurate account as there are many bills yet unpaid; but it will be safe to say that a neat sum remains on hand. Those of the stockholders who attended the fair held in Macon were well satisfied with showing made. A meeting of the stockholders will be held in this city at the Wage Earners Bank, Monday night Dec. 17 at which time the selection of directors will be confirmed, and the final report of the fair will be submitted. There are many things for which the managers can congratulate them selves, things exceeded the white fair that immediately preceded it. For instance the attendance both locally and from the State at large exceeded the whites by many hundreds. The number of shows were greater. The management were compelled to pay to the city alone $100.00 for a tax on the twenty different shows on the grounds and the same amount as a State tax. For police protection $268.35 were paid, besides $9.00 per day for hire of detectives. The pay of helps amounted to about $550. There were exhibits from forty four counties, twenty of these counties had agricultural exhibits. Many of the citizens of Macon, especially the ladies gave herculean service and added much to the success of the fair. The sentiment now is for another, fair next year, and it should be held. The experience of tais one will tend to make the management more perfect next year, and hence a greater success. The white citizens of Macon are loud in the praise of the fair and they with the officers are desirous of having it held there next year. The officers should go immediately to work and plan for the same. To make it a success work must begin immediately Reply to the Ministers. I notice in last week's issue of THE TRIBUNE the Ministers Union, speaking about bands disregarding the Sabbatn day. The bands are hired by the people with whom they are out. If there be any dissatisfaction with the 'marches the band play, it is up to the people who engage them. These bands do not volun their services to disregard the Sabbatn. I have made it my business to apply to city coun- call for a permit for each Sunday funeral. The people who are dancing cake walk rags on the side walk it is up to the police to look at that part of it. In leaving the church it has been a custom to play, dirges which are written in common time. The bodies are held so long in the churches that we have got to cut the time, in which is two four time, by the request of the heads of these clubs. These dirges going to the cemetery sound more like ragtime than they dirges. As lively as we marble before the grave is covered it is dark. These clubs have to do away with their ceremonies. The request of these people is to get them back to the hall as quick as we can. The entire time has been lost in the city. These men who want to get back in the city and want time lively as possible. We have been held at the churches from two to two and a half hours. A certain white gentleman who runs a livery stable in the city told me that the 'colored undertakers' held his carriages out so long that he would be compelled to raise the prices. The carriage leaving the stables at 2 o'clock can't get back until 7 or 8 o'clock, it shows these long delays makes it hard on the undertakers, bands and clubs. I would like to call these gentlemen attention to the various churches and clubs giving fairs; hiring a hall; hiring the piano, hiring a man to play the piano, hiring a man with a tambourine to call figure, dancing quarille, waltzes, and two step. Now gentlemen do you think it is right to allow churches to give public balls? I think. 'It is the duty of the ministers to give their attention to this. It is just as much harm to dance by a piano and tambourine as it is to dance by a brass band. I was born and raised in Savannah and have been following the band business for over 30 years and this is the first complaint I have had made. This is a Negro industry which I am keeping together. As far as churches are concerned, I have made five dollars in 25 years out of them, but our services have been given always gratis, but we will have an eye on gratis service in the future. JAMES MIDDLETON, Leader and Manager of Middleton's Band Savannah Ga, Nov. 23, 1906. To the Public: The ordination of Bro. L. J. Robertson was done by the order of the Oak Grove Baptist church, which is the highest and only legal power, for ordination. It was done by the discipline of the Baptist church, also the church ordered the pastor to arrange it to his best convenience. This thing was not done in a corner. Shall we obey man rather than God? to say true Religion and being religious is pious? God's ministers have not to disregard another minister. If the law of the church is right let us serve it. It Baal be God follow him. If the Lord be God serve him. So we have no fight to make at all. Ye without sin cast the first stone God said to the Jews thrust Moses. The Lord shall fight for you and ye shall hold your peace. So the law will for us and will hold our peace. If God be for us who can be against us. To the Ministers Union of the First African Baptist church if I have offended this brother by the work that I have done. I ask you all pardon, but O remember if it is not Judgment to-morrow it will be the same old thing. It is better to please God than men. Rev. Gaines. Bethlehem Bapt.

Broughton St. A FEW REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BECOME A STOCKHOLDER IN THE UNION SAVINGS. First—It is a sound and safe Negro concern, and offer a safe investment for your savings. Second—It is a purely local concern, operated and controlled by men who live here and who are largely interested in Savannah, Georgia and the South. Third—Every dollar of money invested in the Union Savings is kept in the South and used to upbuild Negro business, among our people. Fourth—The Union Savings will in the near future erect a handsome Negro Bank Building, where you can go and be treated as men and women; no "Jim Crow." Fifth—We shall look to the establishment of a large Department Store which will give employment to many of the men and women, boys and girls of our race. Sixth—We pay you a reasonable rate of interest on your money, and do not use all the profits to enrich a few. Seventh—Because in 'Union there is strength' and we must unite for self help and self protection, and self elevation. Ninth-We mean to open the door of hope to the Negro boys and girls. Tenth-We mean to demonstrate to the world that the Negro has real ability, that he is honest and that he is capable, and for these reasons you should do your business with the Union savings & Loan Co. 20 State Street, West. for yourselves and friends.

Street West: FIELDS-ESTE NUPTIALS No wedding in recent years attracted more attention, more largely attended and better conducted than that of Miss Florence A. Fields to Dr. Nesley Bate. This brilliant ceremony took place at the Second Baptist Church on Thursday evening and was witnessed by a large concourse of friends. Long before the hour for the ceremony, the guests were ushered in, and many pretty gowns were noted. The decorations were of palms and they were tastily arranged around the pulpit and platform. The pealing forth of the sweet straining of Mendelshon's march announced the coming of the bridal party. The groom entered by the side aisle accompanied by his mother Mrs. R. T. Este. The bridal party was preceded by two ushers followed by the bride's maid and the flower girl. The cynosure of all eyes was the beautiful bride leaning gracefully on the arm of her father. The ceremony was conducted by Rev. J. H. Este, of Augusta, father of the groom and it was done in an impressive manner that attracted and retained the attention of the hearers from the beginning until the couple was pronounced as being man and wife. Lohengrin's march was played during the ceremony. The bride looked a veritable picture in her handsome dress of white suesine silk over white taffeta, trimm'd with sherring and tucks, ruby valce and insertion—princess style, set off by the regulation veil and orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of bridal roses The bride's maids were Miss Wilhelmina Fields, and Miss Rachel Rogers. Miss Fields was attired in blue mulle trimmed with white lace and insertion. Miss Rogers dress was of pink mulle with white lace and insertion. The flower girl, little Edvina P. Perry was attractive in her white silk, plaited and trimmed with lace and ribbon. Mrs. R. T. Este, mother of the groom, steel gray, crepe-de-chine over taffeta silk. Mrs. Laura Fields, mother of the bride, looked queenly, attired in black silk. The ushers were Mr. Robert B. Fields, Dr. Geo. R. Shivery, and Mr. Thos N. Rivers All of the gentlemen wore full dress suits. Mre, Lula Jenkins, with Meesrs. Robert L. Smith and Walter Chisolm were attendants at the door and saw that each guest was given a memento of the occasion. Miss Etta McIntosh presided at the organ. Despite the large concourse of people in attendance, there was no rushing and everything was very deorous. The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Fields. She is a young lady of excellent disposition, pleasing manner and attractive in her conduct. She has a host of friends who have the highest regard for her and not one of them has ever said ought of her, so perfect been her conduct. She carries a large amount of cheerfulness where-ever she goes, and undoubtedly a precious jewel to the one who has won her hand. The groom is one of our young practicing physician. By his studious habits and close application to his practice he has done well since his coming in our midst and has made a number of stunch friends. The popularity of the couple and the high esteem in which they are held were shown in part by the large array of very costly presents. There were no shuddy ones, and it seems as if all of the donors had a practicable turn of mind in only giving those articles most useful. Dr. and Mrs. Este, accompanied by Rev. and Mrs. Este, left the same evening for Augusta where they will spend the honey moon, returning home next Thursday. The traveling dress of the bride was of poplin artistically made and fitted to a nicety. On the departure of the bride and groom the usual showers of rice were given with other accompaniments. The host of friends of the happy couple congratulate and wish them a joyous and prosperous voyage over the matrimonial sea. One of The Landmarks Gone. Rev. W. G. Clark died on Monday last after being confined at home nearly two weeks. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon from the First African Baptist Church and was attended by a large number of the members of the Church and other citizens. A number of clergymen were present and many glowing tributes were paid the memory of this faithful and good man of God. Rev. Clark was one of the ablest members of the First African Baptist Church. Many years ago he was licensed to preach and finally or dained to the gospel ministry. He acted as assistant pastor of the church and was always at his post of duty. He remained true to the church through all of its troubles during Rev. Campbell period, R-v. Love's and down to R-v. Carr. He was for a long time superintendent of the Sunday School and helped every movement for the progress of his church. Rev. Clark was beloved by everybody, and can be truly said that a faithful soldier of the cross has fallen. To his bereaved wife and other relatives, the sympathy of his hosts of friends is extended.

Why Butter Prices Hold Up. ~-Much speculation is indulged in about the fact that with all the sup- yposed great increase in creameries ‘the prices of butter still hold up. ‘Hoard's Dafryman says: Those who sneculate forget two or bree things: (1) That the cow is the source of Ahe butter supply, not the creamery. ‘t 42) That the more dense the cow spopulation becomes in any section, the ‘less proportion of heifer calves are zaised, (3) That the inerease in milk con- ‘sumption has been so great that 2 very larke share of the cows of the country have been diverted from but- ter making to that business. ¢ 44) That the increase of cows in ‘this country is only about five per cent yearly, so it takes about twenty years to double ‘the cow population. (5) That the progress of dairy tdcas. among farmers is teaching them to ‘weed out the unprofitable cows, thus reducing very receptibly the mili sup- ply for unprofitable butter-making. (6) That the percentage of increase ‘of population is much greater than the percentage of increase in cows, while the consumption of milk and butter per capita has been steadily on the increase.

When there seemed.a prospect of 3 | conflict between the Boer Government and the Uitlander population a letter was sent to Dr. Jameson from Johan- nesburg, signed by Col. Rhodes and others, According to the Grand Magazine the original contained the following sentence: “We feel we are justified {i taking steps to prevent the shedding of blood and to Insure the protéction of our rights.

Ben and horses crash- ed over the almost vertical bank in a living torrent. Of more than ninety dragoons barely ferty reached the op- posite bank alive. ¢ One summer morning in July, 1903, the peaceful village of Collonges was startledby a huge object descending apparently from the skies with a ‘ter- rifle thud, in the centre of the main street. A moment after, with a sbrick- ing whistle, came another of these alarming visitants, which struck the church roof, knocking a hole in it. The terrified Inhabitants fled for their lives, puraued by shell after shell. Many houses were struck, bat by a miracle no was killed. After- wards it turned out that the peritous bombardment was the result of a trial of séme new long range suns at the Savatan forts. “The officer in chirge had apparently never taken the trouble to inquire the range of the new weapons and had been firing with a reckless disregard of consequences. In May, 1903, eleven boys on board the training ship Cornwall, lying off Purfleet, were suddenly struck down by typhoid fever, and Inquiry proved that the outbreak was the result of their sleeping between fever infected, blankets brought from South Africa. In fiat contravention of atmy regula- {ions no fewer then 200,000 blankets returned from service had heen sold to two dcalers at the Cape, at five cents each, and of these 15.000 dozen were shipped back to London, those that were tainted belng indiscriminate- ly mixed with those free from sus- picion, Casplesenste of this sort is in very triith a crime of the deepest, dye. While on the subject of {nfection, the American town of St.Paul, Minn., got an unpleasant scare two years ago. An English doctor was traveling across from San Francisco to New York, when, at St. Paul, x negro potter in charge of the traveller's bag care- lessly mistaid it. Imagine the feelings of the railway officials when they heard that among the ccatents of the lost piece of Tig- gage were several tubes of living plague bacilli the doctor had brought from India! For some days the whole surrounding country was ina state of semi-panic, but eventually the missing bag was recovered with the tubes in- tact.

Another frreparable locs to the art ‘world was’ caused in the winter of 1903 by: the carelessness of the owners of the Rosso Palace, also Venice. Because they could not or would not take the trouble to find out who was competent to be intrusted with the task they sent ten “old masters” to be cleaned by a totally incompetent Person. . re These pictures included two of the finest Van Dycks in existence and two Guido Renis and were all of immense value, both from an artistic and monetary polnt of view. The incom- petent cleaner washed them with an alkaline solutfon and totally destroyed them all. * An official of an American bank once told the writer that it was not professional swindlers who constituted the chief danger to the banking pro- fession, It was rather the careless methods of customers in drawing checks and thus glying opportunity for fraud. As an Instance, he’ quoted a case tried three years ago before a Maine court of justice. The cashier of a certain clectrie company drew a check in favor of a man named Longacre for the sum of. $100. The treasurer of the company wrote the words “one hundred” in the very middle of the check and the figures thus: $* 100, with a space wide enough for the insertion of another figure between the dollar mark and the 100. When the check was presented the words read “Eighty-one hundred follars” and the figures $8,100. ‘The bank paid {t unquestioningly, and the evectric company Fromptly sued to re- over tho $8,000. The case created a ood deat of interezt, especially when fhe court's decision was glven that the company, not the bank, shouldbe the josers on account of “gross careless | ness” In drawing thé check. | SNOW IN THE SAHARA. Many Desert People Saw It for the| Fist Time in Their Lives % Last February. a eee Snow fell in the Sahara, south of Algeria, in February last. It was the culmination of a period of severe weather, during which the cold was excessive and courier service, was in- terrupted for many days. ‘Then, on February’5, came the first snow, and, the inhabitants of the northern dhses could not believe their eyes. Many cf them had never heard of snow before. . Snow fell at intervals in one or an- other part of the Algerian Sahara for twelve days, from February 5 to Feb- ruary 16. The region that was snow covered lay between 22 degrees and 98 degrees north latitude and between © degrees and 6 degrets east longi- tude. In shape it is nearly square and em- braces more than 30,000 square miles. In other words, the snow mantle cov: ering a part of the Sahara was spread over a region a little larger than the State of New York. Some of the principal French posts in thls region are El Golea, Fort Mac- Mahon, Timmimun, Wargla and Las- huat, and the French Government has received accounts of the strange event from these and many other ywaces. At El Golea snow fell con- tinuously from 6 a. m. to 3 p. m on February 5 and at Intervals through- out the following day. The total depth was only about three inches. In most regions the snowfall was only two Inches or less, and remained on tbe ground only a few hours. | Inhabitants suffered severely dur- ing this snowy period. They had never felt anything so cold as this snow and the .bolder persons who picked up handfuls of it were satis- fied with one experiment. In El Golea the oldest men sala they had never seen this phenomenon before. The people were glad enough when It djsappeared and were much surprised to find that the verdure of their oases had scarcely been impair~ ed by the strange visitation. Meteorologists are much interested in this news from the Sahara, Other strange freaks of the weather have occurred there in recent years, such as cloudbursts, deluging considerable regions and turning the dried up wads in{p raging torrgnts—New York Sun, Not a Fair Deal. ‘Two boys who managed to be rather unruly in school so exasperated their teacher that, she requested them to re- main after hours and write thelr names one thousand times.

Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Trying Square Presbyterian Church on the theme, "Loyalty to the Truth," the rev. I. W. Henderson, pastor, took as his text I. Kings 22:14: "And Micailah said, as the Lord lreth, what the Lord saith unto me, that will I sneak." He said: The four hundred false prophets were mere flatterers. They interpreted and delivered the oracles to suit the king's whim. They paid small attention to the measure of truth that their judgment contained. If they discovered wrong, they kept quiet about it. If they foresaw evil, they were equally silent. To be optimistic was to be popular. Self-interest dictated that they should return to the king good omens or none. Pessimistic prophesies landed a man in prison; and since Ahab wanted to be coddled and cajoled and flattered, they humored him to the best of their ability and to his full capacity. They were optimistic patriots. Therefore they were favorites at court. Ahab hated Micalalah because he spoke the truth us it came to him direct from God. The monarch disliked premonitions of future evil and demonstrations of existing sin. He preferred a fancied security to definite knowledge of conditions as they were. As Ahab complained to Joshosaphat, Micalalah prophesied not good, but evil, and for that reason he was heartily happy to jail him. Micalah might easily have taken the advice of the king's officer and become one of the lying multitude. He might, with profit to himself in the eyes of Ahab, have reiterated in earnest, rather than in sarcasm as he did, the prophecy of the falsifiers. Self-preservation and the hope of self-advancement might, imaginably, have led him to have given the king just the answer for which his heart yearned. The profit from the king's pleasure was at hand and within sight, the Lord would forgive him quicker than the monarch. Many a man has argued that way. But to Micalah the truth was more precious than the benedictions of his ruler, the favor of Jehovah was more satisfying than were the praises, of any man. "As the Lord liveth, what the Lord saith unto me, that, will I speak," he says; and his words are an inspiration to the men of America as they mark out the strict line of duty we should follow in our time. Too many of us lack the idelity of Micaiah because we fear unpopularity. Cowardice supplants courage in no few hearts that are aglow with a vision of the truth because men dare not defy the disfavor of the Ahabs of to-day. Smug self-satisfaction cries down the leader who would point the wrong; and above all, right it. Optimistic patriots in the church and out of it, with no eye save for the gldwing, luscious surface which hides a central life bitten deep with sin, decy as pessimistic the man who paints the evil as it is. Self-glorification is easier than self-examination. There is more pleasure for the crowd in recounting their achievements than in clarifying the central springs of life, and in analyzing the depth and the consequences of their iniquity. It takes less brains to state the achievements already accomplished than it does to investigate and determine the sureness and stability of the foundations upon which success is built. It is easier upon the head to relate blithely the unexamined progress of your country or your church or your family or yourself in the attainment of material advantages, than it is to decide whether or no the gain was made righteously and in the fear of God, and whether or no it will result in future happiness and helpfulness for all concerned. It is far more satisfactory, from the point of view of the opportunist, to take things as they are and to make the best of them. No man really likes to unearth sin: it isn't nice work and it is dirty. But to bury the victims doesn't stop the epidemic. To congratulate oneself upon the amount of water in the reservoir, and upon the power and efficiency of the pumps at the water works, in no way diminishes the heat of the fever. In these days we want and hail men of mind and of action who will look for the hidden genus of disease. Then, in our desire to acclaim them we forget the days when, in spite of the self-satisfied, the ignorant, the careless, the wicked, they proclaimed the certainty of our distress and disease; then we forget that those men whom we reviled as possessive our saviors; then we forget the years of research and of patient study with conditions as they were, we forgore the premonishments of our fools grow wise, in our anguish the situation as it is. I say we forget. I may be wrong. Perhaps we but then remember. We must have Micalabs, men of loyalty to the truth at all hazards and at any cost, do less to-day, than in the year that Abad and Jehoshaphat went against the Arameans at Ramoth-Gilead. Our age, our country, the church has need, and a great need, for men who will speak forth what the Lord saith unto them. To be sure those "who are folding their arms in selfish ease" declare them, as they did the Garrisons, the Philosphes of the sixteen anarchists and its subjects for the gallows. The man who would battle with the social evil to the death and declare the wisdom and the truth of God unto a white life for two sexes will find detractors and enemies on every hand. He who will annihilate the monster of intemperance and of legalized iniquity will. I am much persuaded, find adherents of the devil even within the sacred precincts of the church of Jesus Christ. That economic Isaiah who shall try the truth of God against the entrenched forces of gold-greedy materialists, in the interest of the men who toll, will find a fearful and unrelenting array against him. He who will protect labor against itself will be forced to combat with evil men among those whom he wishes to uplift. But while a man may with less timidity advance new thought in the scientific world, in no place will he find, many times, a more uncompromising resistance than in the church. Be it for good or ill the simple fact is this, that nowhere has new light a harder fight than among many who are the followers of Him who was the essence of all truth and who prayed the gift of the Spirit for them that they might have a sure guide into the fullness of eternal wisdom. The sight of the church of God against truth is the amazing spectacle of the ages. The odds, against truth to-day are tremendous, and even as Ahab never returned to the city of his rule, so surely shall eternal and refining truth conquer in the age long struggle with the adversary. Two things are necessary that truth may win and be accredited. First, we must be sure that our insight is correct, our truth born of God. And then we must be loyal to the voice of Jehovah as He speaks to us. There is nothing more detrimental to the dignity and standing of the truth than irrational and ill-balanced thought. Every bit of truth is the word of God, but some statements which are caricatures of truth are not God-given, no matter how loudly and how long they may claim the distinction of divine inspiration. All truth may well be labeled, "thus saith the Lord," but all statements that bear the motto, "thus saith the Lord," are not truth. There are false prophets to-day no less than in the reign of Ahab. He who will declare a message to men must first be sure of his ground. Not less important is it that a man be loyal to the truth revealed to Him through the workings of God's Holy Spirit. Truth may negative most of his own ideas and cherished preconceptions. It may even subordinate his noblest ideals. But by it he must stand. Micailah went to prison for the truth and Jesus of Nazareth to the cross. Stephen was stoned by his enemies, as was Zecharlah, the son of Jeholada, the priest, because he was faithful to the truth. John the Baptist lost his head for declaring that Herod had lost his. Luther withstood a church and the Smithfield martyrts suffered agony that truth might be supreme. The long list of heretics and excommunicated, the host of those who have lost life and friends, the army of those cruisers who, under God, have battled hard with sin—all testify to the need, the glory of loyalty to divine truth. It is no easy thing to lead in the march of progress or to fight the forces of evil. Conservatism would clutch progress by the throat and throttle it to the rattle. Sin hates the light and would overcome it. But whether or no the opposition be fierce we need and must have men who will be firm for the truth and not flinch in the hot fight. "There is," we are told, "no more hazardous enterprise than that of bearing the torch of truth into those dark and infested recesses in which no light has ever shone." But to that man who, filled with power by the Spirit of the Lord, will speak what the Lord saith unto him there will be not only the hard warfare on the first line of the skirmish here, but the crown of victory in the life eternal. More and more the need is for men of the mold of Micaiah; men to whom the truth is more precious than much fine gold; men whose integrity is indivisible; men whose opinions are the judgments of minds that have been moved upon by the blessed Spirit of the living God, who cannot be bought, and who, filled with a high and a holy devotion to their divine commission as the revealers, interpreters and torch-bearers of Gqd's illuminating truth will balk at no sacrifice; and be overawed by no opposition; and be diverted by no power from the declaration and the promulgation of that truth. Oh, that there might arise throughout this land men of the vision and the fidelity of the prophets of ancient Israel. Would that there might arise among the ministers of the Lord today a prophet of Jahwe, Jehovah the Lord of hosts and of truth; a prophet with a message and with the power to express it tersely, intelligently, forcefully, fearlessly. May God give us a Micaiah who shall tell America the truth concerning the conditions of to-day. The people, in the church and out of it, are weary and undesirious of platitudes and of unalmed verbiage. Mankind awalts a prophet of God. And when he comes in the plenitude of wisdom-and of power; furnished with a divine commission; endured with a mission and a message for a world in sin, may the church have the insight and the grace to see the marks of God's calling in him and in his message and not persecute him as did the fathers the prophets of God aforetime. "As the Lord liveth, what the Lord saith unto me, that will I speak." May this be the motto of every man who loves the truth. May it be also our inspiration to fidelity and to a glorious ministry unto men in the name and to the honor of the living God. And may we live so near to God that we may be able to hear His message and to speak with immediate authority to men. The Power Will Be Given. When Cyrus captured Sardis, the only son of Croesus, who was dumb, saw a soldier ready to give the king, whom he did not know, a stroke upon the head with his scimitar. The son made such a violent effort to save his father by a word that he broke the string of his tongue, and cried out, "Soldier, spare the life of Croesus!" And so, if we love Christ and His cause earnestly, our tongues will be loosened. May be only a tired liver, or a starved liver. It would be a stupid, as well as savage thing to beat a weary or starved man because he lagged in his work. So in treating the lagging, torpid liver it is a great mistake, to lash it with strong drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled body whose organs are weary with over work. Stair with the stomach and allied organs of digestion and nutrition. Put them in working order and see how quickly your liver will become active. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has made many marvous cures of "liver trouble" by its wonderful control of the organs of digestion and nutrition. It restores the normal activity of the stomach, increases the secretions of the blood-making glands, cleanses the system from poisonous accumulations, and so relieves the liver of the burdens imposed upon it by the defection of other organs. If you have bitter or bad taste in the morning, poor or variable appetite, coated tongue, soul breath, constipated or irregular bowels, feel weak, easily tired, dependent, frequent headaches, pain or distress in "small of back," gnawing or disressed feeling in stomach, perhaps nausea, blood or vomiting "rising" in throat after eating, and kindles symptoms of weak stomach and torped livel no medicine will relieve you more promptly or cure you more relentlessly than Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Perhaps only a part of the above symptoms will be present at one time and yet point to torped liver or billiouness and weak stomach. Avoid all hot bread and biscuits, griddle cakes and other indigestible food and take the "Golden Medical Discovery" regularly and stick to its use until you are vigorous and strong. The "Discovery" is non-secret, non-alcoholic, is a glycerate extract of native medicinal roots with a full list of its ingredients printed on each bottle-wrapper and attested under oath. Its ingredients are endorsed and extolled by the most ominous medical writers of the age and are recommended to cure the diseases for which it is advised.

For a weak back, cold on the chest or any local pain, the result of taking cold or over-strain, there's nothing we know of to compare with this famous plaster.

FEARFUL PAINS Miss Nellie Holmes Mrs Tillie Hart Ask Mrs. Pinkham's Advice - A Woman Best Understands a Woman's Ills. While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, it does not seem to be the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. This is a severe strain on a woman's vitality. When pain exists something is wrong which should be set right or it will lead to a serious derangement of the whole female organism. Thousands of women have testified in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound overcomes woman's special pains and irregularities. It provides a safe and sure way of escape from distressing and dangerous weaknesses and diseases. The two following letters tell so convincingly what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will do for women, they cannot fail to bring hope to thousands of sufferers. Miss Nellie Holmes, of 540 N. Division Street, Buffalo, N.Y., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham, "Your medicine is indeed an ideal medicine for women. I suffered misery for years with painful periods, headaches, and bearing-down pains. I consulted two different physicians but failed to get any relief. A friend from the east advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I did so, and no longer health as I did before. My periods are natural; every ache and pain is gone, and my general health is much improved. I advise all women who suffer to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." Mrs. Tillie Hart, of Larimore, N. D., writes: Dear Ms. Pinkham: "I might have been spared many months of suffering and pain had I only known of the efficacy of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable MALSBY & CO. 41 South Forsyth St., Atlanta, Ga.

Compound sooner; for I have tried so many remedies without help. "I dreaded the approach of every month, as it meant so much pain and suffering for me, but after I had used the Compound two months I became regular and natural and am now perfectly well and free from pain. I am very grateful for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me." Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing fills of women. The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound rests upon the well-earned gratitude of American women. When women are troubled with pain or irregularities, displacements or ulceration of the organs, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation, backache, bloating (or flatulency), general debility, indigestion and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine, for you need the best. Don't hesitate to write to Mrs. Pinkham if there is anything about your sickness you do not understand. She will treat you with kindness and her advice is free. No woman ever regretted writing her and she has helped thousands. Address Lynn, Mass. If afflicted with wenk eyes, use Thompson's EyeWater (At48-06) W. L.

A HIT AT SOUTH CAROLINA Governor Heyward Aroused Over the Report and Wires for Facts, Inclimating Most Vigorous Resistance to Crooked Dealing. Being informed that immigrants intended for South Carolina were being held up at Ellis Island by the wholesale, Governor D. S. Heyward Monday night sent the following telegram to Robert Waltham, commissioner of immigration, Ellis Island: "Please advise facts. We have not a single person coming in on advanced, assisted or prepaid passage, so far as we are cognizant, and not one under even suggestion of contract, but all under strict compliance with United States statutes. If this is correct, I propose to carry the matter to the president immediately and consequently request that you wire the facts, considering this as a notice of appeal. This state, as one of the constituent states of the union, has been acting in an open, legal manner under United States laws, as interpreted by the state department, in all its immigration work, and any attempt of the kind reported will be most vigorously resisted. "D. HEYWARD, Gove;nor." TO REORGANIZE ASSOCIATION. President Jordan cf S. C. A. Issues Notice to Members. Beginning with meetings in all the counties of the cotton-growing states the first week in December, steps will be taken for the reorganization of the Southern Cotton Association and these will culminate with the election of president and other officers in the executive committee meeting to be held in Birningham in January. In a statement just issued to the members of the association President Harvie Jordan sets out the plans of the association and at the same time urges the members to stand pat for higher prices, and tells of unfavorable conditions which make this plan the proper one. On Saturday, December 8, meetings will be held in every county seat in the states of the cotton belt for the purpose of electing representatives to attend meetings of the state divisions to be held in state capitols, when state officers and members of the national executive committee will be elected. These state meetings will be held on January 2, 1907. The reorganization of the association will be completed at a meeting of the executive committee in Birmingham on January 15 and 16, when national officers will be elected. Following this meeting the general convention, which will be attended by delegates from all over the cotton states, will be held. President Jordan urges those interested to pay the greatest attention to the selection of delegates and officers, and says that inaction or inefficiency will greatly cripple the association and make the good work done in the past impossible in the future. BIG DEAL IN TIMBER LANDS. Tract of 7,000 Acres in South Georgia Changes Hands.

Official of Chicago Concern Held For Uttering Fictitious Paper. From The Pittsburgh Sun. The worst thing about the Atlanta mob outbreak is the excuses that are offered for it, the wholly inadequate measures taken to break it up, and to restore law and order. The Northern eye is too full of beams of race hatred and lawlessness to try to pick motes of this sort out of Southern optics. The whole country lives trembling over a volcano of racial prejudice that is as likely to break out in Pittsburg as Atlanta. Mob material is as plenty here as anywhere. But in the North the authorities usually do not indicate to these mobs or hunt with them. They fight them, and ordinarily a few well-placed bullets are enough to scatter the whole cruel, rabid yelling pack. But each successful lynching in territory where Negro burning is a popular sport makes mobs in communities where law is still made something of more difficult to control. Mobs are always made up of the worst elements in the community. Hoodlums, the vicious idler and the petty criminal are always the ones whose righteous indignation at great wrongs, public or private, gets too strong for them. These men ever find the law too slow. They never can get along with it anyway. They run anuck as far as public sentiment will let them go. The mob is the most menacing evil of today. Official authority should be encouraged to make quick, sharp work of any opposition it offers. Stern measures are all that can hold the demon in check. In spite of the lying, craven excuse of Atlanta, that "our women must be protected," there is plenty of law in Georgia to give them protection. And even if there were no law, the solid business and professional element, the honest mechanics and industrious workingmen would not leave the avenging of their women's wrongs to gangs of frenzied hoolgans whose glance toward a decent woman is pollution. Atlanta used fair words and a fire hose against the disturbers of the peace where a gatling gun was needed? Hey shame is that she now tries to cover it up. A word to those who arrogantly say: "This is a white man's country." What is their warrant? The Negro is here with a right better than the white, for he was brought here by force by the latter. He was held 250 years in a cruel and degrading bondage. The color line between the races has never been drawn too high for the lustful white man to step over. Without the white man's restraining education or moral training, the Negro yet has multiplied precedent for every crime he commits against white women. This doesn't justify him at all, but it should make his oppressors ponder. There should be one law for all brutes and criminals, black or white. Punishment should be swift, terrible and certain to all evil-doers, irrespective to color. Equality before the law and security in life, person and property need not also comprehend an equality or intimacy in social relations. These rights have been denied the Negro. He has never had a fair chance. He has been wonderfully patient under his wrongs. But for how long will the God of righteousness and retribution stay His hand against those who are provoking him to anger? Is He not also the God of the black man? THE GROWING NEGRO VOTE COUNTS. Helds the Balance of Power in Many of the States—Congressional Campaign Committee Recognizes Importance. The Negro vote in this country is becoming more and more powerful each year. This situation is the result of the growing emigration of the black man from the South to the States of the North. That this emigration is increasing each year is demonstrated by census figures and hardly permits of controversy. The result, in the opinion of many people, will be that the colored vote will be the absolutely determining factor in the elections of the debatable states if this Northern movement of the Negro continues as it has in the past. A statement issued by the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee shows the importance and growing influence of the Negro in politics. It is the only statement of the kind indicating the power of the black electorate in this country. The introduction to the table of figures says: "Negro population and vote in states where disfranchisement laws have not been enacted and where the Negro vote is a factor in the solution of the political equation. These figures show that there are more Negro voters in the state of Tennessee than any other state in the Union. The Negro voters in that state totals 112,236. Kentucky comes next with 74,728. black votes. The third state in point of number is Maryland, with a total of 60,406. Pennsylvania has 21,668 Negro votes and Missouri 46,018. The colored vote in the state of New York was sufficient to turn the tide of the election. A favor of Hearst had he received the support of the 51,425 colored electors. In Illinois the black vote is 29,762 and in Ohio 31,225. When it is considered that the Negro vote in the East was east with practical solidarity for the Republican party, it is easy to see how the 21,474 Negro votes in New Jersey could have made possible the election of a Democratic legislature, resulting in an election of a Democrat to the United States senate to succeed Senator Dryden. The Negro votes in other states that have an important bearing on the national election follow: Kansas, 24,695; West Virginia, 14,786; Massachusetts, 10,456; Delaware, 8,574; Michigan, 5,193; Connecticut, 4,576; Iowa, 4,441; California, 3,711; Colorado, 3,215; Nebraska, 2,988; Rhode Island, 2,765. The Negro votes in the states that disfranchised the black man is not given for the reason that it has no influence on the national result.—Record. AMONG THE MASONS. Companion Jesse Robinson was elected Grand High Priest at the recent Grand Convention of the Grand Chapter, R. A. M. Companion M. C. Foakes was elected Scribe and Companion C. M. Meon, King. Grand High Priest Robinson will get the early support of the companions in various parts of the state, and will endeavor to put the Grand Chapter on a solid basis.. All Masons should be friendless so far as charity is concerned. Even on Thanl.sgiving Day this spirit should have been manifested. Brotherly love and affection are tenents that we are desious for every care and practice daily. How much better each of our lodges would be member of the jurisdiction to incull if every brother would only abound in "Brotherly Love and Affection." Do not forget the widows and the crphans. Next month the holiday season will be upon us. No doubt there are in each lodge in the jurisdiction some widows and some orphans. These unfortunate ones should be looked after and checked in their forlornness; therefore the lodges should set aside a certain amount to contribute to them and cause them to doubly feel that there is peace on earth and that there will be good will to all men. For this purpose, Euneka Lodge, No. 1, of this city, has adopted a practical plan. Several months prior to the holidays a relief committee is appointed, the duty of which is to raise funds for this charitable purpose. At the appointed time the committee generally makes purchases of useful articles and devotes them to the widows. Let the other lodges be as practicable. For one lodge to abuse another and endeavor to injure it shows very poor Masonry. Masons are brothers and should not become enemies. Let Freemasons Thus Be Men. Forming resolutions is one thing and adhering to and practicing them is quite another thing. It is easy to resolve to be just and upright before God and man, but difficult to thus live. It is easy to forswear the use of hurtful things, but difficulty indee, for one habituated to them to resist the temptation to indulge in them. It therefore is true that an erring brother, struggling to reform, needs sympathetic words and the kind helping hand. Do you know such a one, and are you thus aiding and assisting him, or are you permitting him to fight the battle alone and unsupported? If the latter, then let us ask, is that in accordance with the solemn resolutions you made when you became a Master Mason? To resolve and do, not to promise and neglect to fulfill, is the great need now, nationally, commercially, religiously and Masonically. Every where real manhood is wanted—the manhood that esteems honor, integrity, virtue, truth and righteousness, as sacred as life and priceless. Let Freemasons thus be men. Let them lead in all the good, true and square work of the century dawling.—John W. Brown. Duty and love are inseparable, but love is greatest and is the life of duty. All else that man can do is small compared with love's act—the first perisher—the last is immortal. As a brother truly says: Love is greater than eloquence, greater than martyrdom, greater than charity and greater than faith" It is love that consecrates and sanctifies duty's doing and makes it Godlike. Love is the spirit of Freemasonry and the Order of Eastern Star—Ex. SLUMP IN STANDARD OIL Stock Drops to $500 Per Share, the Lowest Price for Years.
