A Washington dispatch says: The
‘fiscal year ended June 30, 1906, pro.
duced a record eclirsing all former
figures on the subject of immigration,
-ecording to tho annual report of
‘Frank Sargent, the commissivner gen-
eral of immigration. During that pe-
slod, the’ report says, the population
of the United States was itcreased
by tho admission of 1,100,735 imml-
grant aliens, and 65,618 non-immi-
grant aliens entefed at its ports, mak-
dng the total admission 1,166,353. The
Anerease over‘last year’s record of 1
059,735 (1,026,499 aliens, plus 33,256
transits), vas 106,698. During the fis-
cal year 1905, 11,480 aliens were re-
dected, and during the past year 12,
432. Of the immigrant aliens, thut is,
those who intended settling in the
‘uited States, there were 764,463
males and 336,272 females.
‘The tendency of immigration during
the past few years to gather its
wsteady Increase principally from the
<ountries of southern Europe is. refer-
red to, .
“Without exception,” the report
says, “the countries from which we
“formerly obtained the greater part ot
cour foreign population, and which are
Amhabited by races nearly akin to our
‘own, supplied us with a smaller num-
ter during the past year (han during
1905—Irelaud, 19,950; Sweden, 2,281;
“Germany, 3,010; Deamark, 1,129, and
Scotland, 1,111 fewer, On the other
hand thé four most eonsiderable gains
are Italy, 51,5641; Russla, 30,788;
Greece, $574, aud Turkey (in Europe
cand Asia), 5,185. The fumtgratton
from. Austria-Hungary amounted to
265,138; Italy, including Sicily and
“Sardinia, 273,129; Russian empire end
‘Finland, 215,665; China, 1,544; Japan,
23,835, and the West Indles, 13,636.”
‘The immigration fim southern and
vastern Europe the report says, is @
result of general umrest existing
mong thé laboring classes of those
sections, which is encouaged or even
fomented by the steamship agents
Scouring the country for passengers,
and the commission says more dras-
tic measures are required to effect a
Jiscontinuance of these steamship
aractices,

ties of the Immigrants we are now re-

who have come in former years, ho
Says, is evident
Thé north Atlantic and north cen-
tral states, together, received $0 per

years, the bulk of the immigrants
were destinéd avowedly to a few of
the large centers of population, 374,

IN DISGHARGING NEGROES
Strong Speech of.’Senatcr Dealing
with Question of Law and Fact
In the Case—Foraker Replies
In Negative,
A Washington spegial says: Senator
Lodge spoke at length before the sen-
ate Monday in regard to the Browns-
ville affair, Mr. Lodge sald in partr
, “Two questions are here involved, a
question of fact and a question of
law. They are entirely distinct, they
ought to be. settled separately and
neither should be permitted to cloud
or obscure the other in the public
mind? The question of fact may be
stated in this way:
“There was shooting in the streets
of Brownsville on the night of Au-
Bust 13, 1906, houses were fired into,
one man was Killed and the eutén-
ant of polfee had his horse shot from
utder him and was so severely wound-
ed in the arm that amputation was
mecessary,
“These facts are admitted and are
not disputed by any one, This shoot-
Ing was dome by some one, it was
done~elther by United States sol-,
diers from Fort ‘Brown, or by ishabl-
tants of the town of Browneville.
‘There was no ono else, and it is not
pretended there is any cue else who
could have done It.
“The ‘president, the secretary of
war and the officers of the army
detailed to Inquire into the affalr have
decided that the shooting was done by
the soldiers and furnish testimony to
sustain their opiniot. <The Constltu-
tional League, representing the sol-
diers, deny that the shooting was,
done by them and assert that it was
doue by the citizens, of Brownsville
disguised in cast off uniforms ofthe
troops and provided with exploded
shells: from the government ranges,
who committed this outrage for the
purpose of casting odium upon the
troops Jf Fort Brown, One of these
two propositions must be proved: for
genera! negations and are of no uso
here.
“It will be the duty of the com-
mittee under the resolutiod to take
all possible testimony and decide
whether this shooting was done by
‘the soldiers or by citizens of Browns-
ville. This is, the question of fact.
In it §s inyolved not, only the inne-
tence or'the guilt of the soldiers, but
the Imocence or gullt of the tnhabl-
tants of Brownsville,
“The question of law fs whether
‘the president in dismissing these’
companies” without Nonor exceeded
his powers under the law and the
execution. This question can be se!-
tlea by the senate just as well vow
and I think better than at any other
tlme without the tesst regard for the |
committee's decision as to the ques-
tlon of fact. It 1s purely a question
of Jaw and I thinkelt ought to be de-
tached from the question of fact and
settied at once because I think that
confusing one question with another
has already done harm, tends towards
injustice and will create great delay
and prevent prompt action. The ‘con-
stitution makes the president com-
mander in chief of the army and navy
of the United States’and congress is
Siven authority ,‘to meke rules for
the goverment and regulation of tho
land and raval forces.’
“Ig the fifth.amendment of the con-
stitution the Iand and naval forces are
excepted from the rights guaranteed
to all persons whd are held to an
awer for a capital or otherwise in-
famous crime. In making the presi-
dent commiunderin-chlet the constitu-
tion conferred upon him all the pow-

by the commanderin-chtet has, as
such, the right ivherent in his ‘office
to punish or discharge except eo far

law-baking power which has enacted
the articles of war,
Mr. Foraker replied vigorously to
Mr, Lodge's speech taking fssue with
the Massachusetts senator om both
the pointy as to the law and fact.
He déclared thatwthere 1s no duto-
cretic and unrestrained powér tn tli{s
country, not even in the commiander-
Inchiet of the anny. .

OPENED WITH, DISSENTS,
Georgia's New Appellate Court Began
Business With Friendly Disagree-
ments Between Judges.
“ The new Georgia court of appeals
stated out at Atlanta Monday morn-
ing with two dissenting opinions, filed
before argument in a singlé case had
/béen ‘made. 7
_ Judge R, B. Russell filed his dis.
‘kent to the rule designating a presid-
ing judge In accordance with age, and
Judge Arthur G. Powell filed a dissent
‘to the order naming a woman as one
of the court stenographers, on the
ground that this is a state office, and
cannot be held by a woman.
‘Thus did the state court of appeala
begin ite formal Sessions at the capl-
tol in the supreme court room,
‘The court met for the purpose of
“attending to such preliminary matters
as it had to deal with ‘In advance of
Deguning the regular dozket, and
right {nteresting those preliminaries
were,
Here, fa part, is the order making
provision for 4 presiding judge, to
which Judge Russell takes exception:
“The established order*of preced-
ence In presiding in this court shall
be the, same as cosine fa the su-
preme court prior to the creation of
the separate office of chief. justice of
that court, that {s to say, that tho
president or chief judge of the court
shall bo the oldest judge {n commis-
sion, and, as between two or more;
judges wose terms of service with
this court begin on the same date.
the oldest man shall for the purpose
of this rule, be regarded as the oldest
{n-commission. In the absence of the
chief judge, the next oldest shall pre-
side.”
Under this order, since the commis-
stots of all three of the judges bear
the sarhe date, Judge 3. H. Hill, beiny
the oldest iri years, becomes the chief,
or presiding judse.
‘The other dissent fled in the cdurt
of appeals at its first meeting was
that of Judge Powell against the ap-
portent of 2 woman as stenogra-
phar to the court. In the selection
of stenographers, Judge Russell narn-
ed Miss Marion Bloodworth, of At-
lanta, this being the first Instance in
the state's history fa which a woman
has been named as stenographer in
an appellate court.
Presiding Judge HIN concurred in
the appolntmert of. Miss Blcodworth,
expressing doubt as to whether the
positica is one of “a elvil oMcer" or
merely a clerk, and giving the berent
of the doubt to the appointee. Hence
she Will serve in that capacity.
Judge Powell, however, took the
emphatic view that the position fs
that of a civil officer, hence that a
woman fs Not-ellgible. Sal he:
“The constitutional amengment cre-
ating this court provides that in all
respects, except 2s otherwise provided
In the constitutfon, the laws relative
to tle supreme court shall apply to
the court of appeals, To my mind, it
therefore necessarily follows that fe-
males are ineligihle to hold the office
as stenographer in the court of ap-
peals. If I could find any escape from
what seems to me an’ irresistible legal
conclusion, I would take grout pleas-
ure In jofing with my brethren in
the selcetion of this most excellent
young lady.” 7
Miss Bloodworth, > howeyer, was
selected by the votes of Judges Hill
atid Russell,,and she will hold the
position.

Every farmer wants to know to a cent the value of what he buys and sells, and should not leave this to be figured by the party with whom he is dealing.
As labor saving machinery has been invented to save time and physical strength, so there are devices to enable the mind to reach quickly and accurately results usually arrived at with much thought and tedious calculation. Time is worth much, but accuracy is still more important.
Many books have been prepared to make the task of calculating easy, its results sure, but never one fitted to all men, in all kinds of business, at all times, so completely as "ROPP'S NEW COMMERCIAL CALCULATOR." This reliable assistant to the farmer and others has been in the market for many years, and nearly a million and a half copies have been sold. The last-edition (160 pages) is from beginning to end filled with tables, short cuts, and up-to-date methods of calculating, making it the most complete, useful and comprehensive work of the kind ever published. It will make every one independent, sure and self-reliant in all practical calculations connected with farming and other lines of business. It will prevent mistakes, relieve the mind, save time, labor and loss. It is a pocket edition with pocket for papers and a loose silicate slate from which lead pencil marks are easily erased, and is an invaluable assistant for every farmer or business man.

This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has complied with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict Insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens.
Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands.
By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business.
That we pay our claims promptly can be testified to by the thousands of our satisfied members.

RECIPES.
Hot Pot.—Line a deep pie dish with slices, of raw potatoes, sprinkle with finely minced onion and parsley, then put in a layer of slices of cold meat cut into inch squares. Continue till the dish is full, having potatoes last. Bake slowly for two hours and serve.
Red Vegetable Salad—One pint of cold boiled potatoes, one pint of cold boiled beets, one pint of uncooked red cabbage, six tablespoonfuls of oil, eight of red vinegar (that in which beets have been pickled), one teaspoonful of salt, half a teaspoonful of pepper. Cut the potatoes in thin slices and the beets fine, and slice the cabbage as thin as possible. Mix all the ingredients. Let it stand in a cold place one hour; then serve.
Vegetable Sandwiches.—Take the remains of any kind of cold vegetables, and mince very finely all together. Season with a little sauce and spread on thin slices of bread and butter. Cover and cut into neat shapes. The addition of pounded hard-bolled yolk of egg is a great improvement.
Beef Sausage. — In making beef sausage use seven and a half pounds of lean beef from the round, but keep the two and a half pounds larding pork fat, instead of trying to substitute beef suet, which is not nearly as nice; after grinding fine, season with the same proportion of sage and summer savory as for the pork sausage, but add two cloves of garlic chopped fine, two teaspoons cloves and one each of nutmeg and ginger; mix the spices thoroughly through the meat, which should also be well blended, then pack in very small bags half the size, of small salt bags and boil slowly for an hour and a half; cool in the poliquor and keep in a cold place. These are very nice sliced cold and eaten with mustard or Chill sauce for tea or luncheon.
What "Hamir" Meant-
Though the Scottish guard of France had long lost its national character, it jealously retained until the crash of 1789 all its curious old privileges, which, though they led to constant wrangles with other regiments, had been duly allowed by Louis XIV. He was actually obliged to intervene at his own wedding to compose a dispute as to the precedence of the Scots guards and the Cent gentilshommes. "Proud as a Scotchman" was an old proverb in France, and their successors in the bodyguard did their best to justify it. But, the most curious survival, long after a word of Scotch had been heard in the corps, was the practice of answering "hamir" (a corruption for "I am here") when the roll was called, which was religiously maintained at all events, down to the revolting GE millan's Magazine.

as they left the house: “You needn't
speak to me again, for I shall not

Brownlow said: “That would
hardly be polite, would it? I re-

admonished to ‘speak when I was
spoken to,-come when I was called,
shut the door after me’—and some-
thing else which rhymed, but which
Ihave forgotten, {was told that was
“manners. Now, you wouldn't Mke
‘me to think that you had no manners,

“It Is a matter of perfect indiffer-
ence to mo what you——"" s
She bit her Mp and did-not com-
, Dlete the sentence.
“You were saying——?”" Lv
“ Miss Pendleton did not answer.
Brownlow looied at her and smiled.
“I don't want to obtrude my society
on you,” he,satd. “If for the moment
you would rather be without me I
¢ould go back, you know. Oz," he
added, “I might walk behind you a
few paces—say, twelve fect. That
strikes me as a respectful distance.
Which shall ft be?”
He stopped, as if to fall back.
* “I won't have you following me,”
she said in icy tones, “If seu wish to
leave me you are at liberty to do so.
I suppose I can‘go alone. It will look
strange, but I don’t suppose you will
are for that."
“Well, won't ft look strange if you
don't speak to me? It. would look as
4€ you had quarreled with me. Be-
sides, as I said before, it would hard-
dy be polite.”
“I sball treat -you precisely as I
‘would any other gentleman white we
are there. After that I don’t wish to
see you.” =
“Surely, I am to escort you home?”
“I sald ‘after that.’ After this
evening, if you prefer it.”
“But I don’t prefer it.”
“Whether you prefer it or not, I
prefer it—infinitely. And in the
meantime I wish to be excused from
conversation with you.”
Miss Pendleton turned to look
down the car track.
. “It's coming now," said Brown-
iow.
As the car stopped Brownlow laid
‘this hand upon her arm, “Wait,” he
said in a quick, businesslike way.
“Do we take an Oakwoods or a Jack-
son Park car?”
She glared at him for an Instant,
‘but his face showed innocent doubt
and only that.
“Jackson Park!” she snapped.
“Philopena!” sald Brownlow. “I
‘mean this fs all right.”
He helped her aboard, and as he
iid so he noticed what particularly
trim shoes she was wearing. Well,
she was a particularly trim young
person. He could not help feeling
proud of her, although it was all over
between them.
“1 find these street car signs very
entertaining,” he observed, when
they had been seated a minute or
two. It was a summer car and they
had to occupy a seat together.
‘There was no response to this.
She looked at a passing automo-
‘bile as if she fancied she recognized
one of the occupants. Brownlow
lookett at her averted face, and it
seemed to him that a sort of spasm
‘of pain crossed it. He wondered it
that inconsiderate remark he had
-made an hour before could have hurt
her much. He had apologized for it,
though he had not thought it any-
thing serious; but now he felt actual-
iy repentant.
Miss Pendleton stole a sfdelong
glance at him and then bent over
‘with a rapid movement and did some-
thing to her shoes. Brownlow ap-
parently took no hotice of the move-
ment. Presently he sighed and
turned toward her. She averted her
head. He kept on sighing at inter-
vals of half a minute. She refused
to look around. He gave it up at
Jast and rose and went back to the
Tear platform. He was gono three
or four minutes. Wheu he returned
Miss Pendleton looked very much
disturbed.
“What is the matter?” he asked.
This time Miss Penuleton spoke.
“I've lost my shoe,” she said, with
forced calmness. “It was a little un-
sorafortable and I sltpped it off tor
S moment or two, and I—T think it
has fallen out of the car.” -
Brownlow was silent for a- moment
or two as he considered the awful
Situation, Then his face cleared.

“I wouldn’t think of it,” she began,
with cold dignity. “I will not con-

But Brownlow hed swung off the
car. .
By the time the car mae its cir-
cult and got back at tho corner where
Brownlow had Jett it Miss Pendieton
seemed to be in a happler frame of
mind, for she hailed the appearance
of Brownlow with a smile almost ‘as
glad as his own. =

pered, as ke took his seat beside her.

“All the afternoon,” she confessed.
“Then I forgive you,” sald*Brown-
low. “I only wonder how you let

from the breast, pocket of his coat
and looked at it long and tenderly.

+ DYING PEARIs.
The Fate of Necklace Once’ Worn by
the Wife of 3. Thiers.
ae ee
In the Louvre Museum at Paris is
to be seen a pearl necklace on its
deathbed. Not literally on a bed,
Dut on a velvet, cushion. It is the
great necklace left by the great diplo-
mat and statesman, Thiers, whick
once belonged to this prominent
statesman’s deecased wife. It is
mourted in an unostentatious style
and has no- value as an article do
vertu beyond the former value of the
pearls, which was about $60,000.
It consists of 145 pearls in three
rows, which weigh altogether 2097
grains, The largest. three pearls
weigh thirty-six, thirty-nine and
fifty-one grains,
‘The pearls of this necklace are
destined to die, says the Deutsche
Goldschmiede Zeitung, as they are
gradually loslng their lustre from
day to day, and will during the next
few éecadas turn as black as the
faded rozes of the much handled
wreath. But why? Because pearis
will only retain thelr original Justro
when they are worn by beautiful
women and come in frequent: con-
tact with the warm-skin of the
wearer.
‘When a pear! necklace Is removed
from the neck, where it has been ex-
posed to a high temperature, and is
placed in a cold marble tablet, which
is of about one-half of such high
temperature, it may be justly in-
‘ferred that the scales of the pearls
will contract and lose some of their
brilliancy. When pearl necklaces
are habitually placed on velvet cush-
fons after having been worn this
circumstance may also well contri-
bute to the detriment of tho beauty
of a pearl, while the chemical com-
position of the color may be an ad-
ditional factor in this direction, {not
to overlook the effects of a strong
light.
‘The management of the Louvre
Museum has held this necklace of
M. Thiers in high esteem, and it has
probably noticed the gradual deteri-
oration with serious concern. The
lack of authority to do has no doubt
prevented the board of managers
from taking the responsibility of ex:
perimental steps advised by compe-
tent experts to save this necklace
from: further deterforation.
How long pearls do Ive—that is,
retain their lustre—has not been de-
termined. Examples do exist where
pearls have retained thelr beauty for
several hundred years. On the other
hand, it has also been demonstrated
that under adverse treatment pearls
will die quickly, justifying the prov-
erb, “You must not throw pearls to
swine.” *
The Tiber is Not All Yellow.
“The yellow Tiber,” as Macaulay
calls it in his ballad, is not clwaysa
of that color. Jligh up in a peak of
the Apennines it first emerges as “n
bright, crystalline cascade springing
from rock and earth and spreading
into a little waterfall.” Miss Marte
‘Van Vorst followed it from its source
to its outlet in order to describe the
journey ct the river, and Andre Cas-
taigne Illustrated ‘ts p{cturesque flow
for Harper's Magazine. Miss Van
Vorst says: ‘The ancients called the
‘Tiber ‘Albula’—white water. Al
though to the vulgar eyo the Tiber
is a yellow river—fawn-colored, in-
deed, at certain parts of its channel
—yet It is pre-eminently white, ‘with
the milky mistiness,seen in certain
jewels, and It is at Rome that the
‘Lily River’ is whitest.” It is rapid
in current, and at no point very wide.

. . Theme: The Life Spiritual in Christ.
,on the theme, “The Life Spiritual in
Christ; ‘the Fundamental in Chris-
tlanity,” the Rev. Ira Wemmell Hen-
derson, pastor, took as his text Jonn
3:5: “Verily, verily, I say-unto thee,
xcept a man be born-of water and
of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the
Kingdom of God.” He sald:
It is my desire, as the Spirit may
give me wisdom, to unfold to you
what, to my mind, {s the fundamental
in Christianity. From the worts of
our Master I conceive the truth to
be that, save as we apprehend the
spiritual veritier reveated in Jesus
Christ; save as +’e sce the world,
man, our God, with the spirituat vis-
fon, we cannot become partakers of
the glories of the kingdom of our
Father. Only as we open-our hearts
and minds to the indwelling Spirit of
Almighty God do we enter into the
promised land of the, new dispensa-
tion, to possess it, to enjoy ft. Filled
with the Spirit we live, but If the
Spirlt of God ablde not in a man he
1s none of His.
In'that beautiful figure of the vine
Christ cuts clear for us the nature of
the splritualilife. It {s our oneness
within the Author of the tniverse and
of us. It is.the merging of our lives
Into the life of God. Tho perfect
spiritual life expresses Stself in unton
within'the Maker. Entirely within
the living Christ moves the flawless
human. Fashion a man according to
the stature of Jesus Christ and vou
have a splritual man.” The spiritual
Ufe ts that life within Christ which
will make you always ask, “What
would Jesus do?” The ethical judg-
ment always referring for its sanction
to the spiritual.
. Spirituality and godliness are syn-
onymous. Apart from the glorified
Nazarene there fs, Christianly speak-
Ing. no spiritual existence. Spiritual-
ity Is no’ mere statement of philoso-
phy; it fs a fact. A yital and a vivi-
fying reality is the Ife within the
Son of Man. The Christ life 1s not
merely a state of mind, but a mode
of action, The living’ of the man
within Jesus and for the Father, and
the Holy Spirit dwelling fn him, that
4s the Hfe spiritual. As the late Dr.
Maltble D. Babcock well sald: “‘Spir-
ituality Is seeing God in common
things and showing God in common
things.”
Now this spiritual Ife ts not eso-
terfe in {ts nature. It fs not a Ife
for the few. It s a life for us all.
‘The economy of the good news of the
Master {s worldwide fn its application
and inclusiveness. To all men the
opportunity to dwell within Christ ts
offered. To all the higher life has its
appeal. From Nicodemus of the San-
hedrim, ta“Onestmus the slave. From
the mighty in intellect, to the unlet-
tered and unlearned. To the banker,
to the beggar, without money and
‘without price, are givenall the wealth
at God’s command it they will.
The highest Christian fe is in-
separable from the highest spiritual-
ity: We cannot understand the sot!
of the message that the Master brings
to us until we enter into His point of
view. The mightiest Christians of
all the ages were mien of the deepest
sanctification. And sanctification {s
the soul’s progress toward the per-
fectness of God. Witness Peter as he
stands before the wondering, poly-
glottous multitudes, on the day when
the Spirit filled the church. Witness
Saul of Tarsus, as, “ringing down the
Grooves of change” he sends* the
watchword, “For to me to five is
Christ.” The secret of the success
of Wesley, of Spurgeon, is spiritual
force, The most helpful power in the
world to-day fs the strength of soul
of consecrated men and womén. Men
Bay come and men may go, but the
Anfluence of the soul which is grow-
ing {nto Godlikeness fs the influence
‘which bends hardest upward and
heavenward. To be truly Christlike,
we anust be truly spiritual.
The greatest value of the spiritual
Mfe is that, through it, we are en-
abled, more and more, to understand
Jesus’ Christ Himself. The Christ
cannot be comprehendedsave through
the spiritual depths of His nature.
As true it fs to-day as it was when
Nicodemus went through the sable
‘night to learn wisdom at the fect of
Jesus: “That which ts born of the
flesh is flesh. That which fs born of
‘thé Spirit is Spirit," Save as we en-
ter Into the Spirit we cannot enter
into the things of the Spirit. We can-
not grasp heavenly things until we
let Heaven into our hearts. Only as
‘we discern the soul forces which un-
dezlle the activities of the Saviour
can we understand Christianity and
Christ. Only as we are filled with
the Spirit can we understand the
Lamb of God.
The fullness of the’promises of the
Prince of Peace can come to those
only who are stronggst in soul ser-
vice. Christ has left us certain prom-
fses. He has conferred upon us cer-
tain privileges. But those promises
and those privileges are realized, in.
their fullest measure, by those only
who live the fullest life. Christ says
to us'with reference to prayer: “If
ye abide in Me.and My words ablde In
you, ye shall ask what ye will and
it shall be done unto,you.”" A prom-
ise and a privilege.” But to whom?
To us all indeed, But fully to those
of us only who live fully within
fe within our Saviour. Be
; In our time the materfal needs’ of
men are, instead of being subord!-
nated, pushed into primary import-
ance.’ The mad rush for wealth and
power among the leaders in society
has its influence on those in the rear
ranks. Materialism masters all men.
save those who see clearly and think
profoundly. And in this there is
cause for fear. P =
‘Would that we might look Jess at
the world material and more to the
realm spiritual. Christ came not to
save the pockets, or the power, or the
position of men. The Saviour, cru-
clfied on Calvary, died, not that wo
might be enabled to gain riches or
honor or glory in this world, Rather
did He suffer that, through Him, wo
might be led to,discern the spiritual
realities of life. ‘Rather did He offer
up Himself that, through Him, we
might gain an eternal weight of
glory; that, through Him, we might
gain spiritual plenty, power, peace.
| Would that we might discern that
the spiritual life that we are to lite
hereafter {s the normal life now.
Would that to-day we might cease to
sear our souls with sin. Would that
wo might, here and now, reededicate
ourselves to the spiritual service of
pur spiritual. God. Let us cease to
make the passing pleasures of the
present the motive in our lives. Let
us rather strive for the primal and
the fundamental fn life. To the at-
tainment of the eternal graces, the
endless powers, the everlasting’ pos-
sessions, let us bend our energies. It
we are to live the life spiritual here-
atter, then, by all means, let us gain
all spiritual wisdom now. If, through
the aeons, we are to dwell within the
light of the countenanceot the Christ,
then let us become accustomed to the
Blory of His presence here.
‘The student studies against his
life’s labors, ‘The sclentist devotes
his larger energies to his fleld of in-
vestigation. The disciplines of tha
student subordinate all else-to them-
selves.* The scientist specializes. AIL
else is'secondary, Not otherwise {s it
with the Christian. ‘The Christian fs
Mtting for spiritual specialism. His
duty it is to draw so near to God that
the diving lite 1s within bim and he
Within thg divine. His duty it is,
here Sand ‘now, to subordinate ali
things inthis life to the soul's devel-
opment.” a
‘Wealth,. position, power, all are
secondary, all are incldenta. None
is primary. None fs fundamental.
Poverty with purity Is peace. The
true «wealth is the wealth spiritual.
Real content comes from above and
abides within. Tie purest happi-
ness fg the gift of the Spirit. ‘Tho
power that persists is Pentecostal.
Do you doubt? Come then to the
hovel ‘that they call home who are
poor in earthly possessions but who
are rich toward God. Poor? No.
Righ? Yes. Unhappy? No. Happy?
Yes. And you ask: “How can this
be?” “Listen to the words of our
biessed Master: “Let not your-heart
be troubled. ¥e belleve in God, be-
Heve also in Me.” “I will not leavo
you orphans,.I will come to you.””
“These things I have spoken unto
you that ye might heve life.” “I am
the bread of life.” ‘A son of God un-
happy? A daughter of our Father in
tears?
‘The need of the chureh and of the’
individual Christian to-day 1s spirit-
‘uality. The power of the Holy Ghost
the Comforter is sadly neglected. The
cchureh relles too muca upon the
‘might of man and not enough tpon
‘the grace of God. We need to se-
‘cnre, as a real and virile fact In our
own lives, the consciousness of our
being within God through Christ.
Thus may we be clothed with the
might of the Master. Thus may we
gain in soul energy. Thus may wo
grow from spiritual childhood into
spiritual maturity. Leaving the mi-
asma of the prison house of the body,
material, we may climb ever higher
to the spiritual helghts where the alr
1s pure, and clear and vigorous. Es-
caping from the bonds of sin we may
clamber upward toward the pinnacle
of perfectness.
Beloved, we must lead, ‘The posl-
tion of the church fs at the front.
‘We must move up to our colors. Our
ideal fs Christ. Our ‘atm the spiritual
regeneration of the world. An
aénemic church cannot lead. We
need red blood in our veins. ‘The
church of Christ must be filled, indi
vidually and collectively, with the
deepest spiritual grace. “The Chris-
tlan man must be “one who measured
by the spirit level of his own ideals,
justifies.” If wo are Christians let
us live the Mife. Let, us place the em-
phasis upon the enduring things. Let
us bring men to the Knowledge of
the spiritual truths revealed in Jesus
Christ. Let us teach mankind that
he is richest who 1s wealthiest toward
God. Let us live as we pray -and
preach dnd teach.
And Having dedicated ourselyes to
the service of the Lord of Light and
of Love Jet us go out to men with tho’

SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1907.
SAVANNAH is promised one
million dollars for her harbor.
That will go far towards deepening
the harbor and thus increasing
the business of the port.
THE great West is complaining about the yellow peril and asking the sympathy of the South. At present we should remain quiet and developments will be such that the dark races will not be the losers.
RESPECTFUL agitation availeth much. As a race if we need any thing we should ask for it, and if it is refused, keep on asking. Thus it should be in the matter of a new school building for the thousands of our children who are not able to secure accommodation.
THE American Baptist is our oldest and most faithful exchange. With its last issue it entered into its twenty-ninth year. Editor Steward is to be congratulated for his consistency and the work that he is doing for the Baptists of his state and the betterment of the race.
ALL of the colored regiments have been ordered to the Philippines. The afternoon paper says that they will have the place of honor in event of an invasion by the Japanese. In such an event these troops will give an excellent account of themselves.
It was noted during the campaign, that there are hundreds of young men holding prominent positions and who are not voters. This class of young men is a drawback to us as a race, yet to hear them speak it would make one think that they are the only true leaders.
It remained for Gov. Jelks of Alabama to publicly express himself about the conviction and execution of white men in the South for murder. He gavevent to this expression on account of the frantic efforts to prevent the hanging of the white man in Birmingham. The Governor says:
"The indisposition of juries to sentence to hanging as disclosed by the record in this case, and the excitement which the hanging of this white man created among respectable people, leads me to the conclusion that the hanging of white men in Alabama is almost an impossibility and excites me to suggest to you that probably it would be well to allow the law to declare against capital punishment except in the case of an offense against a woman. It is monstrous to allow a law to stand which is operative only against one class of our citizens."
THE colored population of Savannah bout equal that of the whites, but for this large population there are only two colored physicians, while for the whites there are three. The two colored physicians do more than twice as much work as all of the white physicians combined and receive less compensation City Council should at least increase the pay of the two physicians and give an additional one in the growing southside. The need for this increase is apparent and THE TRIBUNE feels assured that if the proper steps are taken this would be done.
THE city election on Tuesday terminated in victory for the People's Democratic League. This faction had the support of many of that class of citizens who are in favor of good government and an impartial execution of the laws. The colored voters were thoroughly in sympathy with this faction and worked asalfunously for the success of its ticket. Their nearly unanimous support of this ticket was because of the class of men who were the leaders and on account of the treatment received by the present administration. For instance the present administration reduced the number of colored men who have heretofore been employed on the public works, upheld the policemen who mistreated colored prisoners, tolerated the recorder, whose sentences have been so unjust and cruel, treated colored tax payers without the least consideration and in fact did many things against us. These are some of the things that caused the colored voters to be nearly unani-
mious in favor of the victorious faction. We failed to mention too, the passage of the resolution enforcing the jim crow laws on the street cars. It is felt that the incoming administration will do the proper thing by the colored citizens.
City Election.
The city election took place on Tuesday. For the amount of interest manifested it was one of the quietest held in years. The People's Democratic League was easily the victor by over 2,500 majority over the Citizens—People's League: Following are the elected: Mayor, Geo. W. Tiedeman; Aldermen, G. A. Gordon, M. J. Kavanaugh, R. J. Davant, J. F. Perritt, J. H. H. Entleman, J. B. Gaudry, H. E. Wilson, J. D. Epps, A. S. Guckenheimer, C.G. Wilkingon W. F. McCauley, F. C. Battey.
"M. C. Lilley & Co. Kick the Negro Hard."
The following letter was clipped from the Atlanta Independent and should be read by every person who purchase any article from the above firm. If they are averse to selling articles to the K. of P., other orders and individuals of color should make purchases elsewhere. Let this be read by every institution and especially among those who make purchases from th company. "Columbus, O., Dec. 13, 1906. "Pat McKenney, Albany, Ga.
"Sir! Some time ago we sent you a list and samples of cloth for the U. K. of P., and referred you to S. B. Brown & Co. We have learned that you belonged to the Negro order of so-called Knights of Pythias and as we can not under any circumstances sell any K. of P. goods to your organization, we would ask you to turn the catalogue and samples of cloth over to S. B. Brown & Co., because under no circumstances can or will we fill orders for the Knights of Pythias goods unless the organization is recognized by the Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias as legitimate, the first requirement of the order being that men must be the white male citizens; this precludes the possibility of Negros becoming Knights of Pythias.
"We hope our request will be complied with at once.

College Dots.
The College community has resumed its normal state since the holidays All the teachers have returned from their vacation rest, refreshed and all taking hold with new vigor. Prof. and Mrs. Work spent the holidays with Mrs Peelers, Mrs. Work's sister at Greensboro, N.C. They attended the association of A. and M. College presidents which met there during Christmas week. The sessions of the association were pleasant and profitable. The officers of the past year were re-elected. Pres. Wright has served as president of the association since its organization. Washington, D. C., has been selected for the next meeting.
Vice-President Suggs is expecting Mrs. Suggs and little Miss Esther May Suggs in the near future. He spent the holidays with them.
Prof. Chas. Lane of Atlanta will lecture in the Georgia State College Auditorium on Saturday evening at 8 o'clock, Jan. 12. Prof. Lane needs no recommendation to a Georgia audience, he is too well known. The patrons and friends of the College are invited. Come and hear Georgia's famous humorist Admission 20 cents.
The readers of the "Dots" can imagine what Prof. said, the holidays were too short; he could not complete his "arrangements."
A Well-Known Deacon Dead.
After an illness of several weeks Mr. R. H. Hooks died on Sunday afternoon last. Mr. Hooks was a well-known citizen and for years he kept a restaurant on West Broad Street. He was a deacon and treasurer of the First A. B. Church, Franklin Square. He was buried from there on Wednesday afternoon and the service was attended by a large concourse of people Rev. Carr was in charge of the services and glowing enconiums were given his memory. Mr. Hooks was also a member of the Adelphia Club and Advance Lodge, K. of P., the members of these institutions attended in a body.
Mr. Hooks left a wife, mother sisters, brothers, and other relatives and a host of friends to mourn his death. To the sorrowing family much sympathy is extended.
An Experienced and Hustling Insurance Worker: Mr. W. Smith is the oldest and one of the most experienced insurance workers' in the State. Years ago before any of the colored companies were organized he was engaged in the business. Soon after the organization of the Guaranty Aid and Relief Society his services were secured as city manager. He is such a capable worker the company he was working for was loth to give him up but Mr. Smith was interested more in the enterpris es of the race and decided to throw his lot with the Guaranty Aid and Relief Society With his influence, tact and insurance ability he has done much for this company causing a daily in crease in its business. He is the most valued employee of the company and has the implicit confidence of the officers who rarely question his actions
[Name]
Mr Smith is widely known in the city. He is whole soul and affable, makes friends with everybody and has sufficient knack to retain all the friends he makes. He has been for years the financial secretary of Mt. Sier Lodge No. 2441, G. U. O. of O. F. and a hearty Odd Fellow is he. His members think that there is nobody like "Wiley." He is also a deacon of Tabernacle Baptist Church, President of the Union Link Association and a member of several other institutions. The policy holders of the Guaranty have implicit confidence in Mr. Smith and he can write up more business in a given time than any other insurance man in this section. He is supported by a number of hustling solicitors each one of them takes a pride in extending the work of the Guaranty. Mr. Smith and his faithful solicitors have pledged themselves to double the local business of the Guaranty during the year, and by the way they have begun it is assured that they will make good their pledge.
Second Baptist Church.
Sunday services were good. Prayer and fasting begin at 5:45 a.m. and lasted till 5:20 p.m. The roll was called and over 400 members' names were dropped.
Rev. J. D. Stone of Washington, D. C. preached to large an appreciative audience at 8 p.m. Rev. Stone also exhibited his oriental scenes here Wednesday night. The sick list is somewhat smaller, with only one death during the week. The clubs are moving in a united way towards the general rally the fourth Sunday in January. All churches, pastor, societies, banda, clubs and individuals are invited to attend this rally and assist the Second Sunday January 27th, 1907 (fourth Sunday). The pastor services during the day.

St. Philip's Dots.
Rev. J. H. Stanford of Waycross Ga.
preached at ii a. m., on Sunday Rev.
Stanard was a member of St. Phillip until
recently. At the annual conference at
Waycross last October Rev. Stanard was
ordained to preach. Rev. Stanard is a
forceable speaker and he is destined to be
a great preacher. Rev. Lindsay's discourse
on Sunday was a good one. Several
personnel joined the church by letter and on
probation. Our membership is still
growing. We are out growing our church
edifice. The seating capacity is too small
that is why we are compelled to start
plans toward railing money to build a
new church. We hope that our friends
will assist us in our effort. Our collection
on communion Sunday was $8.00, and
our class collection was $20.00 on Tuesday
night. Our church is prospering
under Rev. Lindsay's administration as
never before. The first quarterly
conference of St. Phillip Church. West Savan-
gate Sunday was $20.00 on Friday night,
Rev. B. M. Tail, held in the church,
the reports from the various departments
church was very good. Nine Stewards
were confirmed for 1907. At the quarterly
conference on next Tuesday night there
will be an election for nine trustees for
1907. St. Phillip still continues to be
honored. The Evangelical Ministers
Union elected Rev. Lindsay president of
that body for the next ensuing year, so you
see the honors still continue to come our
way. The following services will be held
on to-morrow (Sunday). Prayer meeting
at 5:30 a.m. Preaching at 6:12 a.m.
Sunday School at 1:30 p.m. Allen League

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.
Eighth—We shall assist our people in owning their own homes by buying and building for them upon reasonable terms. Stop renting and become a home owner 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, his success with the Union Savings and Loa Go!

What is Pe-ru-na?
Is it a Catarrh Remedy, or a Tonic, or is it Both?
Some people call Peruna a great tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a great catarrh remedy.
Which of these people are right? Is it more proper to call Peruna a catarrh remedy than to call it a tonic?
Our reply is, that Peruna is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed, there can be no effectual catarrh remedy that is not also a tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any case of catarrh, a remedy must not only have a specific action on the mucous membranes affected by the catarrh, but it must have a general tonic action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is a weakened condition of some mucous membrane. There must be something to strengthen the circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces.
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS. The wonderful efficacy of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing in its hold upon the medical profession. When joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a trio of medical agents is formed in Peruna which constitutes a specific remedy for catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be improved upon. This action, reinforced by such renowned tonics as COLLINSONIA CANADENSIA, CORDALEIS FORMOSA and CEDRON SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locations in the body.
From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The use of Peruna confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusiastic. When practical experience confirms a well-grounded theory the result is a truth that cannot be shaken.

BLOATED WITH DROPSY.
The Heart Was Indly Affected When the Patient Began Using Donan's Kidney Pills.
Mrs. Elizabeth Maxwel, of 415 West Fourth St., Olympia, Wash., says: "For over three years I suffered with a dropsical condition without being aware that it was due to kidney trouble. The early stages were principally backache and bearing down pain, but I went
says: For over three years I suffered with a dropsical condition without being aware that it was due to kidney trouble. The early stages were principally backache and bearing down pain, but I went along without worrying much until dropsy set in. My feet and ankles swelled up, my hands puffed and became so tense I could hardly close them. I had great difficulty in breathing, and my heart would flutter with the least exertion. I could not walk far without stopping again and again to rest. Since using four boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills the bloating has gone down and the feelings of distress have disappeared."

The Oriental is passionately fond of club life, and the smaller the degree of personal liberty he enjoys in orjinary life the more intense is his enjoyment of membership in some brotherhood. It does not make very much difference what the nature of the club may be; it is the mere joy of club life, irrespective of object or principle, that appeals to him. Having once tasted this joy, he will do much rather than forego a continuance of it. Oriental society is so constituted that the family or clan is the social unit and not the individual. A man cannot be alone in his punishments, for they are also visited in greater or less degree upon his relatives as well. He cannot enjoy or suffer alone. Now, a club or society is a much smaller organization than society as a whole, and the individual forms a correspondingly larger fraction of it. This is an immense stimulus to self-esteem. The man becomes somebody. This explains why almost any society, irrespective of its object, can instantly gather a numerous and enthusiastic constituency. Any man with a little tact could go out on the streets of Seoul and in twenty-four hours establish a society for the cultivation of mushrooms on thatched roofs, with president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and executive committee complete and a membership list as long as a piece of string, if not longer. Why? Simply because membership in "any old" society does just a little to lift a man out of the humdum of life—Korea News.
English Channel Tunnelling.
English Channel Funneling.
The proposal to drive a tunnel under the English Channel, to connect the French and English railway systems, is again receiving attention, and English feeling is supposed, in view of the good relations at present with France, to be more favorable to the project than ever before. The chalk strata under the Channel are thought to be easy to penetrate, with a minimum risk. The distance to be tunnelled is 34.4 miles—a large contract. In 1883 a tunnel seven feet in diameter was driven 5,521 feet in eight and one half months on the French side. This was extended to a length of 6,033 feet and to a diameter of 14 feet. On the English side a tunnel was driven 5,905 feet, nine-tenths of it being under the Channel. The new proposal is to have two twin tubes 20 feet in diameter and 60 feet apart for traffic, with an auxiliary smaller tunnel for drainage and construction purposes—Baltimore Sun.

No external remedy ever yet devised has so fully and unquestionably met these three prime conditions as successfully as the Allcock's Plasters. They are safe because they contain no deleterious drugs and are manufactured uponstandine principles of medicine. They are sure because nothing goes into them except ingredients which are exactly adapted to the purposes for which a plaster is required. They are speed in their action because. They add quality and strength to their work of relieving pain and restoring the natural and healthy performance of the functions of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original and genuine porous materials and like most modern plaques have been extensively imitated, therefore always make sure and get the genuine Allcock's.

THE STREETS OF BERLIN
A Fighting Auto.
Armored trains are no novelty, or at least they are a new thing of yesterday, not to-day. But the armored motor car, just furnished by Bronlitz to the Russian War Department, is still in its early stages. From wheels to roof this offensive and defensive monster of the highway is designed to be invulnerable. The whole car is covered with steel thick enough to resist riffle bullets, and when in action shutters slide up to close all the openings now seen in the picture. The car carries a large supply of gasoline and ammunition, giving it a wide radius of action and a deadly advantage over any mob of revolting peasants against which it may be sent. The rapid fire gun, mounted on the roof, can be turned in any direction, Rough country, as well as smooth, can be traversed by this new engine of death, which is likely to bring terror to many a hapless dweller in rural Russia in the next few months. The wheels of the vehicles are protect-

plating, while the tires have non-puncture proof bands.
The car can seat fire persons comfortably, and has an average speed of about thirty miles an hour.
Hitherto the difficulty in the use of motors on service has been that they are liable to get out of order when worked over rough ground.
Here, however, they have solved the difficulty by fixing motor engines to both the front and back axles, and by this means the car can more easily extricate itself by its own motive power out of a ditch or any small depression.—The Sphere.
Load Freight by Gravity.
The ordinary box freight car does not appear to be very large from the outside. A close examination will show that from the door to either end is fully twenty feet, which means that men employed in loading a car travel quite a distance. The time thus consumed in loading a box car is considerable, and to reduce the time and labor more than half two Minnesota men have designed the freight carrier shown here. A glance at the illustration will convince the reader that by such a method a great deal of time and labor could be saved. This freight carrier is operated by gravity. It is composed of two parallel rails, the ends of which are curved to reach the back of the car. On each track are small wheels, spaced equal distances apart. In loading the car the end of the track on the platform is raised by supports above the remainder of the carrier:

An Incomplete Prescription.
A prominent Southern physician, upon reaching his office one morning, found an old negro who had been a servant in his family standing in the waiting room. The old negro, after mentioning several painful symptoms, related his usual hard-luck story, and begged the doctor to prescribe.
The physician filled a small bottle and sald, "Take a teaspoonful of this, Mose, after each meal, and come back in a day or two if you do not feel better."
"Mars' John, I can't take dat med'cine," answered Mose.
"You will have to take it if you want to get well."

Story of Trees' Thousands of Years Old and Still Growing.
We have not to cross the channel to find trees of a standing long prior to the date of St. Luke—the new trees of Braburn, Kent (3000 years old); Darley Churchyard, Derbyshire (2096 years), and Fortingal, Aberfeldy, Perthshire (2500-2600 years); while other long-lived British yeas are those of Growhurst, Surrey (1400 years); Gasford, North Wales (1400 years), and Fountains Abbey, Ripon, Yorkshire (1500); these instances and figures being taken from Humboldt's "Views of Nature."
Pausanias tells us that the reputed oldest trees still living in his time were the willows in the sanctuary of Hera, at Samos, the oaks of Dodona, the olive of the Acropolis of Athens, the olives of Delos, the laurels of Syria, and oldest of all, the plane tree of Caphyza, called after Menelaus because "they relate" that when he mustered his army to sall away against Troy he planted it there by the spring above the city for a memorial unto all generations to come. Pausanias also tells us that there was still preserved the remains of the wood of "the beautiful plane tree whence flowed limpid water," referred to by Homer. Allogether the "Itinerary of Greece" contains sixteen references to celebrated plane trees, but it nowhere mentions the Paudnian plane tree of Cos, although it refers in detail to the worship there of Aesculapius and to the olive trees that grew about his altars. As for St. Luke (whose name is of Latin origin) having rested in this plane tree grove, the suggestion too closely resembles the association of this Apostle with "St. Luke's summer," and the more that there is the similar tradition of his having lodged for a while in the hollow of the plane tree of Megaspelacon in Arcadia and painted the ikon of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the little chapel consecrated in its trunk to the Panagia Platnionotissa.
There is no reason to doubt the antiquity of the plane trees of Cos. Those, "the seven brothers" of Buyukdere, "the great valley" on the Bosporus, are said to be 5000 years old; and Darius and Xerxes may have sat in their shade. Xerxes, when a day's march from Sardis, passed a plane tree so beautiful that he presented it with golden ornaments and placed it in the custody of one of his guard of "immortals;" and the traveler, W. J. Hamilton, found its gigantic trunk in 1835;77 still throwing out some thin leaved branches. The fact is that the plane tree, Platanus orientalis, has ever been held in the highest veneration and worship throughout anterior Asia and the Levant. It was to the eastern Aryas what the oak was to the western, and the pine to the northern Aryas. It was the "tree of life" of the Achaemenian Persians, the Armenians, and apparently of the Pelopidae. It is a native of the Caspian shores of Persia and Asia Minor, and thence gradually spread into the countries of the Mediterranean shores of Europe. It is the chestnut of Genesis, xxx., 37, and Ezekiel, xxxl, 8, its Hebrew name Armon, "naked," referring to the annual scaling of its bark, a natural process of dry washing, to which undoubtedly it owes its ever youthful freshness and beauty, and its miraculous longevity and reputation as a "tree of life." It is named once by Homer, as already shown, and by Theognis (870). The finest description of it is given by Plato "Phaedrus" (229). Theohrastus names it over and over again, and once or twice with interesting circumstance. Pliny traces its migration through southern Europe from the Isles of Diomedes, off Apulia, to "the land of the Morlini"—"Extremique hominum Morlini" the Pas de Calais!
The Coan plane is one of the finest in anterior Asia and its wide extended branches cover the whole market place of Stanchio. They have been supported from century to century by marble columns taken from the accepted site of "the temple of Aesculapius," and these columns are now so completely embedded in the bark of the immense boughs they uphold as to appear a perfectly natural feature of the wonderful tree. One frequently observes a like phenomenon in India, and I once found in the very heart of the trunk of a strenuous pipal (Bo) tree in the Victoria Gardens, Bombay, the carved teak wood column (now in the Asiatic Society's, rooms in the town hall) of a temple of hanuman, as fresh and sharp in its carved work as on the day it was set up, at least 200 years previous to its midnight discovery by the late Professor Buhler and myself.—George Birdwood, in London Times.
Clogs Worn by English Workmen.
An acknowledged authority has estimated there are at least 4,000,000 pairs of clogs sold in the northern counties of England every year. Different woods are preferred in different districts. The workers in factories and other indoor occupations in such districts as Bolton, Oldham and Preston prefer a sole made from either alder or birch, while in the colliery districts, such as Wigan, beech, birch, and ash are most generally used, the first named in each instance being in greatest demand. Some idea of the immense quantity of soles used may be gathered from an estimate that each pair of clogs will be resoled twice before being replaced by a new pair, thus averaging three pair of soles to the life of one pair of clogs—Shoe and Footwear Manufacture.

ARTIFICIAL VEGETABLES.
The Academy of Sciences, Paris, recently heard Prof. d'Arsonval describe artificial vegetables, which he exhibited, and which were produced by the methods of Prof. Leduc of the Nantes Medical College. Prof. d'Arsonval interested his colleagues greatly, but unfortunately for the lay public he did not say whether the so-called vegetables are edible. While they were described as vegetables they have nothing of the vegetable in their makeup, but they behave after their production as do the real vegetables they resemble under natural conditions. Into the composition of these products nothing living enters. Prof. Leduc makes seeds in pill form, one part of sulphate of copper and two parts of glucose. These are deposited in bouillon made 3 per cent. of ferro-cyanide of potassium and a little sea salt.
The seed develops sometimes on the surface of the liquid and sometimes in its depths, giving birth to plants resembling seaweed and other marine plants. It was announced that these artificial plants were not merely scientific curiosities. Prof Lodue has been able to recognize that they have the same properties as the plants they resemble, and are influenced similarly by heat and light.
Screams No More.
Harry O'Briant's eagle is dead. Six fancy, highbred, game chickens have also gone over the dead line. The chickens went first and the eagle followed suit. The eagle killed the chickens and O'Briant killed the eagle. The big bird had been in captivity about a week and had his eye on the chickens all the time. He was allowed certain liberty with one foot tled to a rope. Until his untimely death the eagle had been cock of the walk in the neighborhood of Crowell street, in South Atchison. He even had the dogs bluffed. The other day, when no one was looking, he got into the chicken coop. Well, there was something doing on the jump. Right and left the eagle startled to snatch the game fowl's bald-headed. And he did—six of them. They were game chickens in name only when it came to fighting an eagle. The bird from the mountains will be stuffed. Atchison Globe.
Eloquence and Success.
Rev. J. M. Buckley, D. D., the editor of the New York Christian Advocate, has said that the best lecture which he ever heard on the subject of success in life was delivered by a man who was an absolute failure in everything he undertook—except that lecture. The lecture was a great success, but the lecturer who delivered the lecture was a failure in everything he ever undertook. He failed in the ministry. He failed to bring up his children properly. He failed to keep out of debt. He failed everywhere and in everything except the lecture on "How to Succeed"—that was a tremendous success. It always drew full houses and its author was always sure of an invitation to return and repeat his wonderful discourse.
It is vastly easier to tell others how to succeed than it is to achieve success for yourself—Young Men's Magazine.
NEVER TIRES
Of the Food That Restored Her to Health.
"My food was killing me and I didn't know the cause," writes a Colo. young lady: "For two years I was thin and sickly, suffering from indigestion and inflammatory rheumatism.
"I had tried different kinds of diet, plain living and many of the remedies recommended, but got no better.
"Finally, about five weeks ago, mother suggested that I try Grape-Nuts, and I began at once, eating it with a little cream or milk. A change for the better began at once.
"To-day I am well and am gaining weight and strength all the time. I've gained 10 lbs. in the last five weeks, and do not suffer any more from indigestion and the rheumatism is all gone.
"I know it is to Grape-Nuts alone that I owe my restored health. I still eat the food twice a day and never tire of it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
The flavor of Grape-Nuts is peculiar to itself. It is neutral, not too sweet and has an agreeable, healthful quality that never grows tiresome.
One of the sources of rheumatism is from overloading the system with acid material, the result of imperfect digestion and assimilation.
As soon as improper food is abandoned and Grape-Nuts is taken regularly, digestion is made strong, the organs do their work of building up good red blood cells and of carrying away the excess of disease-making material from the system.
The result is a certain and steady return to normal health and mental activity. The improved condition of the little life is here.
The "blues."
Can one help having the "blues?"
Can one help having a bad temper?
Certainly. Moods are subject to the will as any mental faculty, asserts a woman writer. The difference between the successful, popular woman and the woman who, by her disagreeableness, drives everyone from her is simply the power of the former to control her moods and her temper.

To arrange the hair fumily and yet securely is an art which few women possess. An infallible way of keeping the hair in position is this: Take a small strand at the middle of the crown, a trifle higher or lower, according to the style required, twist this closely and make it secure with hairpins, then brush and arrange the hair over this little knot. A strand of perhaps two fingers thickness should be rused. It furnishes the solid something upon which to fasten the loose, wavy superstructure and make it secure.

Her Home Like a Camp.
On even the coldest days in the coming winter Mrs. William S. Cowles, sister of President Roosevelt, need exercise her imagination only a little to believe herself back in her camp in the Adirondacks on a July day. She is decorating her sitting room so that it will be as nearly as possible a representation of a forest nook. It will have a dado of birch bark, and pipes, guns, hunting knives, alpenstocks - and wooden drinking cups on the walls will heighten the effect. Bearskins will be the rugs and the furnishings will be of rustic wood, innocent of paint. With balsam pillows giving an aromatic odor and a few growing plants in the windows, one could imagine the room to be in the heart of the mountains, instead of in a steam-heated, electrically lighted house.—New York Press.
Marriageable Age.
A woman's prospect of marriage is distinctly affected by age. The statistics of all centuries show that the great majority of women marry between the ages of twenty and thirty. Before reaching twenty a woman has of course a chance of matrimony, but the objections raised by the parents or friends to marriage at a tender age frequently outweighs the desire of the young woman to acquire a husband, and lead her to defer a wedding day.
All statistics that have been gathered bear out the statement that a woman's best chance to marry is at the age of twenty-five, that over six-tenths of the marriages take place between twenty and thirty, and consequently that a woman's chance increases up to twenty-five, and steadily decreases after that age until it reaches the vanishing 'point somewhere about sixty. Out of 1000 married women 149 marry before the age of twenty, 680 between the age of twenty and thirty, 111 between thirty and forty, the women in the thirties not having so good a chance as the girl in her teens; between the ages of forty and fifty the falling off is enormous, only forty-one in 1000 contracting an alliance in that decade; while for the woman who has celebrated the semi-centennial, of her birth has only nineteen chances in 1600.
Yankee Wives For Canada.
"A Colonial" writes to the London (England) Spectator calling attention to the fact that more men than women emigrate to Canada, and asking that the imperial and colonial governments do something to encourage the colonization of British women along with these men in the Dominion. The gist of his trouble is well expressed in the following paragraph:
"The chances are that the majority of young bachelors from Britain will settle in those districts where whole families from the United States are taking up wheat lands in the Northwest, and naturally it follows that the young. Britisher will find his helpmate in a woman born under the Stars and Stripes, and little likely to engraft into the being of her family the traditions of a united empire. Canadian women of British ancestry are probably even more loyal to the British flag than are the women of the old land; their loyalty to the best traditions of English home life is proverbial, but Canadian
women are a mere handful in that great West. It is a heterogeneous mass of womanhood from which the English emigrant to-day has to choose."
As for the fear that the intermarriage of these British bachelors with American girls will lead to a national annexation, that is hardly worth the ink it takes to record it. These international alliances are quite as apt to work the other way. The British influence in the home has on its side existing political conditions and all the commercial and industrial forces which make, or our people such well established imperialists, but if it were not for the intrusion of this British element the home made up wholly of American settlers might be impervious to these influences. In any case if in the long run it does not appear to our people that they will be better off as British than as American, no amount of hereditary prejudice can keep them so, and this convolution for or against British connection will rest upon facts quite as apparent to the German, to the American or to any other foreigner as to the son of old Canada or of old England.—Montreal Star.
The Scientific Housekeeper.
Housekeeping, which is the most natural occupation of women, and by far the most important, has been practiced by them without any scientific training, and, indeed, without suspecting that any was necessary, since the days when Eve catered to Adam's comfort in the Garden of Eden.
But now a change has come. Persons who are rich enough to hire a managing housekeeper desire to have one who is as, carefully trained for the position as a lawyer or a minister is trained for his work.
This training must be obtained in special schools, of which there are several in the United States. Some of them, indeed, are not schools merely, but well equipped colleges, with a thorough course in domestic science of four years in length.
If means permit it is well to take the full four years' course. Tuition varies in the different schools and colleges, but $150 a year may be considered a fair estimate. Books will cost from $10 to $25. These items are, of course, exclusive of the cost of living. When this expense makes a four years' course impossible, young women may prepare themselves adequately in special courses of two or three years; and it is even possible now to acquire in the classes of some of the Young Women's Christian Associations, and such institutions as the Cooper Union or the Pratt Institute, a knowledge of the science of housekeeping which is sufficient to secure a position.
The "science of housekeeping" embraces many things. The studies include domestic architecture, with special reference to the arrangement of rooms and their equipment; sanitary science; cooking, including the chemistry, cost and proper preparation of food; dietetics; household management; sewing; home nursing; sloof. And all these general subjects are subdivided into a multitude of subordinate branches. The schools which afford these courses make it a business to find openings for their graduates.
The demands are of two kinds. One is from rich people with many servants who desire a competent person who can take all the responsibility of conducting the house. The other results from the necessity of having such persons at the head of boarding schools and many public institutions. The duties vary with the kind of position which the house-keeper is called upon to fill.
In a private house the housekeeper hires, pays and discharges the servants, usually decides upon the menu and orders the food, and the linen and kitchen utensils when they need replenishing. She must also assign the servants to their various duties, and see that those duties are properly performed. She inspects the plumbing at suitable intervals and supervises the cleaning of the traps. If her training in slod has been sufficient, she may even put up a shelf or mend a broken chair. In some families the housekeeper is made "one of the family," eating with the other members and having a room in the main portion of the house. In families where the social lines are more closely drawn, she will have her meals served in her room.
The wages of a trained housekeeper, range all the way from $25 a month—this, of course, in very small families—to $2000 a year and a private carriage—although this, too, is, of course, exceptional. From $40 to $50 a month is an average salary. Whatever her earnings may be, they are net, except for the cost of clothes. The housekeeper is at no expense for food or lodging, and both are usually good. Moreover, her surroundings are generally pleasant and wholesome, and the life of which she becomes a part is one which affords opportunity for meeting people of cultivation and refined tastes.—Edward Williston Frentz, in the Youth's Companion.

An Extinct Trade.
"Cock-crowers in the past, got good pay," said the antiquary, "but theirs is an extinct business now."
"Cock-crowers were employed by the rich in their town houses to crow the hour. They crowed only the rising hour for the most part, but during Lent they crowd everything—even the halves and quarters—all night long. It was a kind of penance.
"These men were trained from childhood to crow. Sometimes in their childhood an operation was performed on their throats to give them a more cock-like delivery.

"The Blood is The Life."
Science has never gone beyond the above simple statement of scripture. But it has illuminated that statement and given it a meaning ever broadening with the increasing breadth of knowledge. When the blood is "bad" or impure it is not alone the body which suffers through disease. The brain is also clouded, the mind and judgement are directed, and many an evil deed or impure thought may be directly traced to the impurity of the blood. Foul, impure blood can be made pure by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It canches and murishes the blood thereby curing, pimples, blotches, eruptions and other cutaneous affections, as eczema, tetter, or salt-rheum, hives and other manifestations of impure blood.
In the cure of scrofulous swellings, enlarged glands, open eating ulcers, or old sores, the "Golden Medical Discovery" has performed the most marvelous cures. In cases of old sores, or open eating ulcers, it is well to apply to the open sores Dr. Pierce's All-Healing Salve, which possesses wonderful healing potency when used as an application to the sores in conjunction with the use of "Golden Medical Discovery" as a blood cleansing constitutional treatment. If your druggist don't happen to have the "All-Healing Salve" in stock, you can easily procure it by inclosing fifty-four cents in postage stamps to Dr. R. V. Pierce, 603 Main St., Buffalo, N. Y., and it will come to you by return post. Most druggists keep it as well as the "Golden Medical Discovery."
You can't afford to accept any medicine of unknown composition as a substitute for "Golden Medical Discovery," which is a medicine of known composition, having a complete list of ingredients in plain English on its bottle-wrapper, the same being attested as correct under oath.

ALMOST A,SOLID SORE
Skin Disease From Birth—Fortune Spent on Her Without Benefit—Doctor Cured Her With Cuticura.
"I have a cousin in Rockingham Co. who once had a skin disease from her birth until she was six years of age. Her father had spent a fortune on her to get her cured and none of the treatments, did her any good. Old Dr. G. suggested that try the Quit Remedies, which did. When he commended B use it the child was almost in a solid scab. He had used if about two months and the child was well. I was there when they commended to use your Cuticura Remedies. I stayed that week and then returned home and stayed two weeks and then went back and stayed with them two weeks longer and when I went home I could hardly believe she was the same child. Her skin was as soft as a baby's without a scar on it. I have not seen her in seventeen years, but I have heard from her and the last time I heard from her she was well. Mrs. W. P.

Brighter Prospects
Increase Your Yields Per Acre
We have many somal photographs of cotton fields on which no fertilizers were used and pictures of fields on which other "other" fertilizers were used. Results of these crops were dismal failures. There are much "brighter prospects" ahead, for the progressive farmers in the South. Two and three hulses to the acre are only ordinary yields where.
Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers are used with proper cultivation. Make your cotton mature early, and thus escape the weevil and damage insects. You can easily do this, as well as increase the number of bolls (and their size) on your plants by plowing in lines. Fertilizers. This method will tremendously "increase your yields per acre." Don't be fooled into buying a substitute.

Cotton Mill Operatives Were Giving Trouble and Elastic Measures Were Finally Resorted to By Authordrites.
Reports received in the city of Mexico Tuesday evening from Rio Blanco and Nogales, in the Orlzaba mill district, indicate that the government has completely mastered the situation.
The strikers have ceased all acts of violence in the presence of the large body of troops rushed there from the capital Tuesday and nearby garrisons.
The seriousness of the affair, however, was realized Tuesday when it was made known that thirty of the workmen were killed outright and over eighty wounded by the soldiers, who were compelled to fire on the main body of the rioters before they could be dispersed.
The men, after pillaging the company store at Rio Blanco mills, became emboldened by their success. A part of the men rushed to Nogales, a short distance away, where another mill is located. Telegraph, telephone and electric wires were cut, and pawn shops and even private houses were pillaged. Then the faits were thrown open and the prisoners set free. Residents of the mill towns fled in terror to the city of Orizala.
When the strikers reached Nogales, one mill official and gendarme from Orlizaba made an intellectual attempt to check them. A striker named Morelos threw a huge stone at Senior Herera, mayor of the city of Orlizaba, striking that official on the head and badly wounding him. Herera arose from where he had fallen and shot Morelos, killing him instantly.
A body of troops arrived, and, as the strikers attempted to resist, a volley was fired into them, killing thirty and wounding over eighty. After this the mob scattered, the strikers gathering together in groups at various points. A body of five hundred collected on the railroad track and held the train for the city of Vera-Cruz for several hours, the engineer not daring to run through the crowd. Finally troops arrived and charged, the men with broadswords, scattering them.
The jails and armories are filled with imprisoned strikers. The soldiers have been patrolling the streets of the villages and watching the property of the mill owners. The government has learned that a committee of strikers has left Orizaba for Tlaxacala, Pueblo and other cities to incite laborers at those points to strike. It was learned that one man, well known to the police, had left for the isthmus of Tehuatepec on a like mission. All of these men are being pursued by the federal authorities.
BALLOT BOXES MISSING.
Cannot Be Found by State Attorney General of New York.
A New York dispatch says: Attorney General Jackson had not up to Tuesday night been able to locate all the ballot boxes used in the McClellan-Hearst mayoralty election entrusted to his possession by a supreme court order.
Certain boxes containing ballots cast in Manhattan were stored under the direction of the board of elections and a search failed to reveal their whereabouts.

Seventy-Two Barred for Fireworks Escapade at Military Institute.

Man Refused a Loan Takes Deadly Vengeance — Cashier and Himself Torn to Pieces.
Two men dead, a score of others injured, two of whom may die, and the beautiful interior of a bank building laid in ruins, is the result of a bomb being dropped in the Fourth Street National bank at Philadelphia Saturday by a man who had demanded a loan of $5,000, for which he could show no collateral. The identity of the perpetrator of the outrage was for a time wrapped in mystery, for he was blown to pieces by his own engine of death.
With the finding of his personal effects Sunday, there is little doubt that he was Rolla Steele of Garner, Iowa.
The other man killed by the explosion was W. Z. McLear, cashier of the bank., who had been talking to the stranger and had refused his request.
Among the most seriously injured are: William Crump, colored, private messenger to the president of the bank, badly mangleled, and may die; William Wright, bank employee, may die; Thomas B. Rutter, Lansdale, Pa., fractured skull; Frank LaBolde, clerk; A. F. Dominici, clerk; C. R. Poton, clerk; Miss Juha Brady, stenographer.
Steele called upon R. F. Rushton, president of the bank, who is also president of the Philadelphia Clearing House Association, shortly before noon and asked for a loan of $5,000.
The president quickly sized him up as eccentric and turned him over to the cashier, with the idea that the latter would have him taken from the building. Before leaving Mr. Rushton Steele showed him a picture of a woman and a child with the remark:
A few moments later there was a terrific explosion which shook the big building and completely wrecked the interior of the bank. Cashier McLear was in his office when Steele threw the bomb and was instantly killed With the exception of his right arm and shoulder he was not mangled The most seriously injured is William Crump, the colored messenger, who made a heroic attempt to seize the object which Steele was about to drop from his raised hand, but he was an instant too late. The messenger is badly torn and if he survives his terrible injuries he probably will be blind.
The Fourth Street National bank is the largest financial institution in the city and occupies the greater portion of the first floor of the Bullitt building, on Fourth street between Chestnut and Walnut streets, in the heart of the financial district. The explosion was terrific and it caused tremendous excitement in the crowded building and the street. The explosion occurred a few minutes before 12 o'clock, at a time when the bank is usually well filled with persons in a hurry to transact business before the bank closes. No one saw Steele enter the bank except E. F. Shanbacher, the vice president, who was passing out of the building on his way to luncheon.
BICKERING OVER-SUBTREASURY.
Southern Cities at Daggers' Points in Fight for Location.
A strong delegation from Alabama is in Washington to secure the location of the subtreasury in Birmingham. The delegation, headed by ex-Governor Joseph T. Johnston, consists of Charles J. Allison, G. W. Pratt, E. W. Barrett and Colonel E. E. Russell. They held an informal caucus with Congressman Bankhead of Alabama, at a dinner at the New Villard Sunday night.
Birmingham is in the fight to a finish, and if Georgia, or any other state, remains out of the caucus of the southeastern state delegations, those taking part will seek to have the decision of the caucus approved by Secretary Shaw.
If the secretary does not approve the selection or the caucus so held, it is intimated that Congressman Bankhead will defeat the subtreasury bill before the committee on ways and means of which he is a member. If Georgia remains out, as her delegate believes she has a right to do, a bill naming Birmingham, Ala., or Columbia, S. C., could no doubt be defeated before the finance committee of the senate, of which Senator Bacon is a member. The fight has reached an ugly stage, and the widespread agitation over the matter, has become almost bitter in its intensity. None of the contestants are prepared to admit that they will yield, but none claim to have enough votes to elect.
FINANCIERS TO PRAY.
Wall Street Officers to Begin Day's

The practice of Mrs. J. Alden Gaylord, who opens each business day in her brokerage office in Wall street, New York, with prayer, is to be widened so as to include many other offices in the heart of New York's financial district. This is announced by the New York Henry W. Warren company hotels.
Georgia Cullings
Curtailed Items of Interest Gathered at Random.
Reformatory Kids Escape.
The first escape at the juvenile reformatory at Milledgeville occurred one night the past week. Five of the boys slipped out of the building and were gone only a short time before they were missed.
Superintendent Bethune immediately began the chase to capture them, and the last one was caught about 3 o'clock in the morning.
Battleship Georgia Barred.
Captain Davenport of the battleship Georgia is convinced it will be impracticable for the Georgia to come any nearer Savannah than the Black Buoy, seven miles off Tybee. "The Georgia cannot safely anchor anywhere within seven miles of the coast of Georgia," he told W. W. Williamson, chairman of the Savannah chamber of commerce, who was in Washington the past week. "Neither would it be safe for the Georgia to go into Charleston harbor, where there is 32 feet of water," he also said.
Georgia Bonds in Demand.
There are indications that more state of Georgia bonds are now held and owned within the state than has been the case before in many years. Of the $100,000 Georgia bonds redeemed this year, an annual requirement of the state constitution, $50,000 of them were paid off by State Treasurer R. E. Park in Atlanta alone-a few days ago. Others still are expected to come from various parts of the state. Heretofore about $65,000 of the annually redeemed bonds have been redeemed in New York city, but this year less than half the amount will come from that financial center.
Atlanta Waterworks a Bonanza
Atlanta Waterworks a Bolinda.
The grand total earnings for the municipally owned waterworks department of Atlanta for the year 1906 is $462,162.14, or nearly a half million of dollars. The expenses of the department, including taps and improvements, will not reach over $225,000. In other words, the profit the city derives from the waterworks during the year is nearly $250,000, or more than 100 per cent.
And this profit is made despite the fact that water is furnished at as cheap a rate as any city of Atlanta's size in the south, and much cheaper than a large majority of the cities.
To Prosecute Star Route, Men.
At an early date fifteen suits will be filed in the United States circuit court of the northern district of Georgia at Atlanta against mall carriers of fifteen different star routes and their bondsmen for failure to perform service. Action will also be brought against the carriers and their securities to recover actual damages sustained by the government.
The bonds filed with the postmaster general, after securing contracts for carrying star route mails aggregate $9,100. The actual damages sustained by the government, as alleged by the postoffice department in having service performed by other than regular carrier, amounts to $4,726.67.
Loophole in Child Labor Law.
Despite the fact that the child labor bill became effective in Georgia January 1, it is nevertheless estimated by Ordinary Wilkinson in Atlanta that in Fulton county alone during the current year between 2,000 and 3,000 children under 12 years of age may be put to work in the factories. This seeming infraction of the spirit of the new law becomes possible in this manner:
Though a child may be under the prescribed age, if he is an orphan or has a widowed mother or a disabled father and any one of these, conditions be shown to the ordinary under oath of child or parent, a certificate will be issued by the ordinary permitting the child to work in a factory.
In every case the evidence must be written out in detail and filed for inspection by the grand jury. This method, of course, throws a safeguard about the bill, but, as has been pointed out by mill owners, the absence of any birth record in Fulton, county makes fraud under such instances highly and frequently possible.
Boom in Railroad Construction.
Over $5,000,000 will be expended on railroad construction in Georgia in 1907. This means the construction and extension of branches and main lines and does not include spurs and second tracks.
Besides the construction of new lines, the railroad companies will make liberal improvements in stations, docks, terminals, changing and lowering grades, straightening curves and erecting warehouses. It has been estimated that probably a million dollars will be spent by railroads in Georgia in improving their systems. The present year is expected to mark the inauguration of train service over the tracks of the Atlanta Birmingham and Atlanta to Birmingham and Birmingham. The time for completion of 43 stations.
service, both passenger and freight, of the Brunswick Steamship company between New York, Brunswick and Cuba. Freight service has already be gun on this line, and its interests in this section will be looked after by the promoting line, the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic.
Georgia Troops to Be Inspected.
Georgia Troops to Be Inspected.
The dates upon which the various militia organizations of the state will be given their annual inspection, both by Colonel W. G. Obear, inspector general of state troops, and by a United States army officer whose name is yet to be announced, have been decided upon and the special order announcing them is now in the press.
The inspections will begin on February 11 and will be concluded April 23, a period of about two and a half months.
The orders will include the usual regulations with regard to inspection, such as have heretofore been published. Strict requirement will be made as to attendance and each member of each militia organization who is absent from this inspection will have to render a good excuse, pay a fine of $10 or in lieu thereof suffer such punishment as is provided in the military code.
The state troops are said to be in pretty good shape, and it is thought they will make a good showing on the occasion of this year's inspection.
Resolutions of Cotton Association.
The goldwing resolutions were considered and passed at the meeting of the Georgia division of the Southern Cotton Association in Atlanta the past week:
A resolution extending fullest sympathy to the loyal men of South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas and Texas, who are now beginning a campaign against the cotton gamblers in those states, which was brought to a successful issue in Georgia by the passage of the Boykin bill.
A resolution by President M. L. Johnson urging the establishment and maintenance of warehouses, backed by strong corporations, for the handling locally of distress and surplus cotton.
A resolution by W. A. Brannen of Coweta, extending thanks to the press of the state for the carnest and faithful work done during the year in furtherance of the alms and ends of the cotton association.
A resolution appealing to towns all over the state, to bankers, merchants, lawyers, preachers and all classes to join with the farmers in the fight they are waging for a fair and remunerative price for cotton.
A resolution by F. D. Wimberly urging the president of the central association to use all efforts possible to get the secretary of the United States treasury to have large deposits made in southern town banks by September 1 of each year.
A resolution declaring the good work done by the cotton association in maintaining the price of cotton and pledging support and allegiance to it during the current year. This resolution was offered by L. H. O. Martin of Albert. B. H. Fortson and others.
A resolution by T. H. Kimbrough of Harris county, urging the re-election of Harvie Jordan as president of the Southern Cotton Association.
SAME OLD ANARCHIST.
Alexander Berkman, Just Out of Prison, is Again Nabbed.
Alexander Berkman, who las summer was released from state's prison after having served fourteen years for an attack on Henry C. Frick, following the Homestead, Pa., riots of 1892, Emma Goldman, and two others, were arested in New York Sunday by detectives who broke up an anarchists' meeting in the East Side.
Emma Goldman made the speech which moved the police to action, while Berkman exhorted the audience to disobey the command to disperse.

State Attorney General Brings Sult Against New York Mayor.
Attorney General Jackson, on behalf of the people of the state of New York, entered suit in the supreme court at Albany Monday against George B. McCiellan, praying that the latter beusted from the office of mayor of the city of New York, on the ground that he has usurped and unlawfully holds such office, whereas William Randolph Hearst is legally entitled to the same.
TRANSFER LAW IS VALID.
Supreme Court of United State Upholds New York Statute.
In deciding the case of Albert J. Hatch vs. Edward Reardon, the latter a peace officer of New York, favorably to Reardon, the supreme court of the United States Monday passed upon the validity of the New York stock transfer tax law, in effect holding it to be not in contravention of the constitution and thus sustaining the decision of the supreme court of New York.

To the Worshipful Masters; Wardens and Brothers.
Greeting:
All warranted lodges are hereby ordered to send into the offices of the grand secretary and grand master a list of the newly elected officers, especially giving the postoffice address, R. F. D's, etc., of each lodge and officer. This must be done at once or new elections will be ordered. Do not hold back the reports because you have not sent in your quarterly assessments. I am holding every master and secretary responsible this year for this part of their work as never before.
Let no master allow his lodge to be behind in this matter this year. Let us see who can be the most prompt in this matter. Let each master see to that his lodges is not reported at the next session of the Grand Lodge as being the last to send in its report. If you have not received report blanks write for them. We have sent out several to different masters and they have come back to us unclaimed. This is another great reason why we should have your correct addresses. All masters and secretaries will please take due notice and so be governed.
The following very interesting letter from Past Master R. L. Newsome of Augusta and speaks for itself: Augusta, Dec. 25, 1906. Bro. Sol. C. Johnson, R. W. G. Sec., M. W. U. G. S. Savannah, Ga. Dear Sir: I am forwarding by this mail the election returns of Bannaker Lodge, No. 3, which was held on the first Monday night in this month, December. Just think of it, brother, that was the first lothief election of the old lodge, the first was on the first Wednesday in December, 1866, and the officers were installed on the 27th of the same month, St. John's Day. I was present at that time and I had the honor of performing the ceremony at the installation this time, which was on Thursday night, December 20th, 1906.
Forty years a Mason, and still in the ring. Old Bannaker has taken on a new lease of life. We balloted for fourteen applicants on the first Wednesday night in December, and have seven more in the hands of the committee on applications, some of the very best men in our town.
We had last year a splendid set of officers, all young men but two, and Bro. A.-M. Miller, who, like myself, has been in the lodge from the start. Brother Miller was initiated on June 24th, 1866, and on September 15th, 1866. Both of us were passed on the 20th of November and raised January 12th, 1867. That's a record for you. Bannaker halls Eureka and Hilton, and wishes them a prosperous new year. As for yourself, my brother, accept my best love.
Mr. Editor, Savannah Tribune:
Please give me a short space in your
paper for the officers of Alt. Olive

M., spoke very ably on the duty of each officer and asked that we do more during 1907. We have added to the roll of membership during the past year seven new members.
Respectfully,
L. O'NEAL.
Secretary.
Seven Star Lodge, No., 122, A. F.
and A. M., of Bladen, Ga., held their

We are glad to say that peace and harmony prevails with us, and each and every brother seemingly has set cut with a better determination to do more for the good of the order than ever in the past.

Dorie Lodge, at Egypt, has again
elected Past Master G. P. Prescott
to the post. He is one of our model
worshipful masters.
Past Master Geo. L. Binyard has been worshipful master of Eureka Lodge, No. 1, for several terms, and he is one of the best worshipful masters in the jurisdiction. His intention is always for the right and so far as he sees it he acts that way, and shows no favor to any member other than what is merited. Under his administration Eureka has grown considerably.
Past Master R. D. Parker has been worshipful master of St. Horeb Lodge, at Vidalia, Ga. He is an old Mason and well beloved by his brothers.
Bro. J. E. Warren is endeavoring to bring Aurora to the front. He is again in the east.
Brethren must read carefully the communication from the Grand Master and act accordingly.
Masons' Attention Called to Duty.
The attention of your Grand Master has been called to the sad fact that the lodgés are not giving strict attention to their duty in not sending all their assessments to Bro. W. H. Spencer at Columbus, Ga. The first assessment was due to be paid not later than the last day in August; the last was due to be paid in not later than December first. They have been reduced to twenty-five cents each. I have been informed that only a few of the lodges have obeyed the law. I wish to say to every brother and especially every master that the money is now needed. The reduction of the assessment from seventy-five cents to fifty cents makes it more urgent that every lodge respond at once. Besides we need a mule at the home and other things needed to go with him.
Let every lodge at its next meeting send in its assessment at once and notify this office of the amount sent in. Any lodge failing to comply to the law in this matter I shall be compelled to hold its master responsible. Let us all move together in this matter. Let us start with the new year to make this Masonic year one of the grandest on record. What I have said here is to every lodge that has not sent in its money. At the same time I wish to extend my sincere thanks to the brothers, masters and lodges that have sent in their money as our law. I have striven to continue to our this assessment until I have come from $1.00 to $75 cents, then from that to 50 cents. Now, please do not by slothfulness cause it to be raised. Let us be men and Masons and do our duty honorably and punctually.
Wishing for you all plenty, peace and happiness, I am fraternally yours,
H. R. BUTLER,
Grand Master.
MEXICAN JUNTA FORMED.
Its Purpose is to Bring About a Rev-
olution in Republic:
A Mexican-revolutionary junta, with
a constitution similar to the one ex-
liting in St. Louis, was formed in
San Antonio, Texas, Sunday, by pro-
portent Mexicans in the city, who
were the principal leaders.
