Certain That Canal Contract Will Be Let. STS WITH PRESIDENT Possibility That All Bids May Be Rejected and Task of Digging Ditch Put Into Hands of Chief Engineer Stevens. A Washington special says: It is still possible that the administration may determine to dig the Panama canal, placing the work in the hands of Chief Engineer Stevens instead of having it done under contract. The final decision will rest with the president and the secretary of war, and will depend on their opinion as to whether the administration is justified in accepted the bid to do it by contract. It was pointed out Wednesday on high authority that the government has not promised to accept the bids of W. J. Oliver, who has been given an opportunity to associate himself with two other contractors to do the work at his bid of 6 34 per cent. The president and Secretary Taft feel that the question of cost is not the one thing alone to be considered, and that they would be justified in declining to enter into a contract to dig the canal if they felt that the government interests would be best subserved by not doing so. The following statement was made public at the white house Wednesday by Secretary Loeb. "Reports in the papers seem to indicate a belief that the canal contract has been conditionally awarded to Mr. Oliver. This is not so. No decision has been made even that the contract will be awarded to any of the blinders, Mr. Oliver's bid was so hopelessly defective that it could not be even considered, and time was given him to complete it in a shape that will enable it to receive consideration. If it is put into shape it will be considered, together with the bid already made by the Gillespie-McArthur combination, which may itself be altered, and then whichever bid, after the most careful examination, seems most advantageous may be taken, or both bids rejected and the canal be constructed under the direct supervision of the government. In such case, the government would, wherever it chose, use contractors simply as agents. The real object in contracting the work is to have assembled a large number of the best specialists in each class of work, and the prime consideration will be the ability and fitness shown in a variety of directions by the men making the bid. The president and the commission would not even consider a bid of merely one or two men. The work is already going well. Over a half million cubic yards were taken out of the Culebra cut in January, and the amount being taken out is steadily increasing." ANOTHER DISPENSARY WEDGE. State Institution in South Carolina Seems Near Doom. From present indications the South Carolina's state dispensary, en which was based the initial prominence of South Carolina's senator, will be abolished by the general assembly. At Wednesday's session the Carey-Cothran local option bill passed by a vote of 74 to 48. The dispensary forces, realizing their defeat, offered as a substitute for the local option measure, a prohibition bill, hoping to gain the support of that element and defeat the anti-dispensary folks. The substitute was rejected by a vote of 68 to 55. The light is given up in the house and every conceivable influence is being used to secure the defeat of the local option bill in the senate, which is closely divided. It is the opinion of all factions, however, that, whatever follows, the state dispensary will be abolished. SHOT WIFE AND BABE Drunken Man Runs Amuck With Shot Gun at Waycross. At Wajcross, Qa., Wednesday night, H. E. Lillies, while beastly drunk, shot and killed his wife and probably fatally wounded their four-months-old babe. There was no eye-witness to the killing, but the evidence before the coroner's jury is to the effect that Lillies placed a double-barreled shotgun to the left side of his wife's face and pulled the trigger. Mrs. Lillies had her babe in her arms at the time, and as she fell, the babe was dropped. THIS IN, PITTSBURG. Brief Race Riot Raged In Bualness District of City—Enraged Mob Bent on Murder and Lynching. C. A. Jackson, a negro, bleeding from many wounds on the head, was locked up in the central police station at Pittsburg, Pa. Wednesday night, following an exciting and almost successful attempt to lynch him by a crowd of several hundred persons in Fifth avenue, in the heart of the business district. A newsboy asked the negro to buy a paper, Jackson showed him roughly into the street. The boy threw a stone and struck Jackson on the head. The negro jumped to the street and began choking the boy. The street was thronged with men, the incident occurring about 7 o'clock, and in a moment several men caught the negro and began beating him. — Some one cried "Lynch the negro!" and hundreds of men and boys rushed upon Jackson. Stones and closed fists were the chief weapons used by the mob. Backed up against a bullding, Jackson, trembling with fear, shielded himself with his arms, while the crowd beat him and tore his clothes. About this time several other negroes took part in the affair and endeavored to protect Jackson. Immediately there cities of "Lynch them" and "Kill the niggers." The mob then turned its attention to Jackson's negro protectors, and soon there were several rough and tumble battles along Fifth avenue. "The mob crying all the while, "Kill all the negroes," caught several other negroes, and proceeded to bump their heads up against the stone buildings. Jackson, bleeding and his clothes almost tour off, was temporarily forgotten, and he ran down Fifth avenue, but was followed by several persons. He was rescued by the police after much difficulty and locked up. LIKE DUMB DRIVEN CATTLE Soldiers of Roman Catholic Faith Are Ordered to Attend Church. There is much excitement at the barracks in Columbus, O., because of an order issued by Col. Glenn commandant, before he left for Texas on Wednesday, to defend Major Petose in the Brownsville courtmartial, ordering the Roman Catholic soldiers to attend church services. Some of the men declare that they will mutiny and it is probable that the matter will be taken up by the war department. The order says that "the Roman Catholic non-commissioned officers" will march the men to and from church and see that order is preserved during the services." 9. RAILROAD IS RESTRAINED. From Double-Tracking, Which Bars Erection of $60,000 Depot. In the Injunction suit to restrain the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad from double-tracking Ocmulge street. Judge Whipple at Fitzgerald, Ga., Wednesday morning made the injunction permanent. This will prevent the erection of the new $30,000 depot, for which the company bought ground. RUSG "LASHMAN" SLAIN. Governor of Political Prison Victim of of Youthful Assassin. M. Guildema, governor of the political prison on Vasill Ostroun, a suburb of St. Petersburg, was shot Wednesday and died almost immediately. The assassin, who was a youth M.eighteen, emerged from a tea house as M. Guildema was passing on his way home and shot him twice in the stomach. The slayer escaped. 148 Given Up for Dead. The search of the galleries of the Reden mine at St. Johann-on-Saar, Rhenish Prussia, where the explosion occurred January 28, continues. More bodies were brought up and identified as being among the list of 148 men already given up for dead. FIRST SCOTCH IMMIGRANTS. Savannah Concerns Make Bids, for Two Young Men Just Arrived. Two Scotchmen, the first of the foreign Immigrants to arrive in Savannah, as a result of the activities of the Georgia Immigration Association, reached the city Tuesday by steamship from New York, halting come from Scotland. Three Savannah concerns immediately upon the arrival of the immigrants, who were high class workers, made blids for their labor. A buggy factory, secured them. They are young men, 23 and 26 years old. EIGHTY ARE DEAD Another Death-Dealing Mine Horror in West Virginia. Most of the Victims Were Americans, Many of Them Married and Had Large Families—Caught 500 Feet Under Surface. With a detonation heard for miles, and which hurled debris hundreds of feet into the air, dust in the Stuart mine, near Fayetteville, West Virginia, exploded at 1:25 Tuesday afternoon, dealing death to the elderly or more men who were at work more than 500 feet below the surface. The disaster is perhaps the worst in the number, killed in the history of the state. Most of the men were Americans, and many of them were married and had large families. There were a dozen or more colored men, and fifteen or more aliens, The rescue work was commenced as soon as the wrecked part of the shaft house could be repaired. About two hours after the explosion, three men were lowered into the shaft in an improvised bucket. Before descending 60 feet, two of the men were overcome with foul air, and the third was barely able to give the signal to their comrades at the top. All further attempts were abandoned for the time. It was stated that nearly all the men were at work in the entries near the bottom of the shaft. The name had been having a good run and in consequence most of the men were at work. That dust caused the explosion is stated by persons at the scene, but the investigation may prove otherwise. It is stated that little or no gas has been encountered in the mine, but that it is dry, and that dust was frequently sprinkled. Crowds gathered at the mouth of the shaft within a few minutes after the explosion. Rescue parties were immediately organized by $ ^{c} $ Frederick Dixon, general manager of the White Oak mine, and volunteers offered for any kind of service. ONE PARTNER FOR OLIVER. Washington National Bank President Enters Agreement. William J. Oliver, whose bid to construct the Panama canal was accepted contingent upon his associating himself with one or more responsible contractors, entirely satisfactory to the government, says that the syndicate he is forming will certainly meet with the approval of President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft. Mr. Oliver, who is In Washington, also authorized the statement that he has already entered into partnership with Frederick C. Stevens, president of the Commercial National Bank of Washington, who was recently appointed superintendent of public works of the state of New York. Messrs. Oliver and Stevens have established permanent headquarters in the Commercial National Bank building, and on signature of the contract with the government, Mr. Oliver will assume charge of the work on the Isthmus, while Mr. Stevens will direct the work from this end. WILL BURN RAILWAY PROPERTY. People of North Dakota Grow Desperate and Make Threats. A telegram received by the Interstate commission from New Rockford, N. D., says that the fuel situation there is so desperate that the people will burn railroad property in less than forty-eight hours for fuel. The dispatch says: "The railroad on this branch is not making any effort to relieve us. Have had no freight this year. No mall for twelve days." Commitment Trial of Merchant Groover Againn Awakes Interest. G. L. Groover, a prominent merchant of Chelsea, Ga., who is now in jail, at Summerville, will have his second committal trial charged with the poisoning of Mrs. Hooks, the wife of R. E. Hooks. Owing to the standing of all parties concerned a great deal of interest is felt as to the result of the trial. Mr. Groover had his first trial several months ago and he was acquitted. STARVATION IN CHINA. Horrible State of Affairs in the Celestial Kingdoms Revealed in Reports to State Department. Mail reports from American consular officers in China, which reached the state department Monday, regarding the famine and resulting conditions, still further confirm the stories of suffering and hardship among the poor in the districts affected. In met, Consul Haynes, at Nanking, says that the famine is ten times worse than anything known in that part of the empire for forty years. The government is trying to help the starving people to keep their cattle, and to this end is taking their oxen and buffaloes in pawn for two tails each. Consul General Rodgers, at Shanghai says an inquiry which he has made through entirely private sources gives the general conclusion that the famine by March I, will be regarded as severe, and perhaps more so than that of 1878, by which it is thought 10,000,000 lives were lost. The report of Mr. Rodgers is accompanied by a statement by Dr. Henry M. Woods of the Southern Presbyterian Mission at Hwai-An-Fu, who estimates that 10,000,000 people are affected by the famine, 4,000,000 of whom are starving. He says there are not present more than 500,000 refugees at Tsing-Kiang-Pu, huddled in mat sheds, and that the pitiful sight is daily witnessed of parents offering their children for sale at from $2 to $4 each. Brigandage and robbery, he adds, are everywhere rife. Money Wanted for Sufferers. Consul General Rodgers cabled the state department under Monday's dase relative of the Chinese famine as follows: "Strongly advise that money contributions be sent instead of food at present. Provision can be purchased at Shanghal at favorable prices. Time saved is a great object." TIRADE AGAINST THE SOUTH. Made at Meeting of Congregational Club in Boston. The Congregational Club, at its annual meeting in Boston Monday night, listened to a discussion of the "Church, and National Perils," by Professor Bushnell Hart of Harvard University; Professor Kelly Miller of Howard University, Washington, D.C., and Rev. W. J. Cooper of New York, secretary of the American Missionary Association. All the speakers dealt with the negro question in the south and the recent speech of Senator Tillman was referred to frequently: Professor Miller, speaking on the topic "Race Conditions in the South," said in part: "The adjustment of the advanced, and backward races of mankind is the greatest problem of the twentieth century. They tell us that the negro is a menace to white man's civilization, in this new propaganda of race ennity and hate, Benjamin Tillman is the chief priest, with a trinity of Thomasases as his literary evangelists, Thomas Nelson Page, Thomas Watson and Thomas Dixon, Jr. Professor Miller denied that the members of the negro race had banded together to protect one another in the commission of crime against the white race, but, on the other hand, he claimed that negroes by thousands have been lynched and murdered by banded assassins, who have stood together dathbound to protect one another in crime, and against a helpless race. CONVICTS WORK ON LEVEE. Governor Vardaman Harris Squad to Point of Danger. Governor Vardaman was requested Monday to send a squad of convicts below Greenville, Miss., where there is a threatened break in the levee. He directed Superintendent Heeland to hurry fifty convicts to the scene at once and take as many more as might be necessary. NEGRO SQUEEZED OUT. Parted With Property for Less Than at First Offered. George W. Vanderbilt has just purchased for two thousand dollars six acres of land and a log cabin from Charles C. Collins, colored. When Bilmore was first established, the negro declined to sell to Mr. Vanderbilt for what the latter considered a reasonable figure, though it is said Mr. Vanderbilt offered him $8,500, and the negro contended for $10,000. The property was practically surrounded by the Bilmore estate, of which it now becomes a part. BEST IMMIGRANTS May Soon Reach the State. Through Good. Work of Association—Will Be Godsend to Many Sections Now Needing Them. The Georgia Immigration Association, through the chairman of its executive committee, Mr. John A. Betterman, of Albany, announces that he is conferring with the representatives of the principal steamship lines relative to bringing in immediately a few hundred Scots and Swedes to relieve the very urgent call for help in some quarters. The result of this conference will be given to Commissioner T. G. udson with a request that the state do what is needful at this juncture. it is hoped to have immigrants in transit for the port of Savannah within the next three weeks. The greatest care has been taken in giving information about Georgia to only such people in Europe as will make desirable citizens. There is ready in Savannah at any time a cargo of freight for the returning vessel. Savannah, it will be recalled, supplied two-thirds of the cargo for the return trip of the "Wittekind." With the heavy freights accessible to Savannah, there is no popt on the Atlantic coast which can provide a return cargo as easily as she can. This, in a large measure, reduces the commercial side of a line of immigrant steamers to Georgia, in securing the immigrants from Europe. Mr. Betjeman, in discussing recent statements by prominent Georgians and by the state press on this very vital subject, said: "I know of no better way to reassure any man who doubts the wisdom of the work outlined by the Georgia Immigration Association than to state again that the work is under the direction of eighteen of the best farmers, lumber-men, fruit growers, manufacturers, mill men and professional men in active business in the state of Georgia today. These men have held repeated conferences since the nineteenth of October, and have considered not only the federal and state laws on the subject, but have given more time and more serious thought than perhaps any others to the effect on the state of Georgia of the introduction of new blood from Europe. They have been investigating the character of available people in Scotland, in the north of Germany and in Sweden. No man in Georgia has his state's welfare more at heart than the members of this directorate who are giving their time and thought to this subject from a purely patriotic motive. Over 30 per cent of the tillable land in the state of Georgia is lying idle for want of sufficient help to cultivate it. A little calculation reveals the fact that on an exceedingly rough estimate the land owners are not only losing the interest on the value of 1,770,000 acres of land which for the sake of this calculation is estimated at fifteen dollars per acre, but on a tax rate of 4 per cent are paying 265,000 in taxes, the burden of which is being carried by other lands. The need for help in the homes through the cities and in the industries is even more striking, it being estimated that very nearly every fifth family in the state has room for one or more domestics, and that nearly 25 per cent of the machinery in our industries is either lying idle or is hurting out less than one-half of its capacity because there are not enough people to do the work. "It is proposed to lay the details of our plan before the convention to be held in Macon on February 19th and 20th." WITNESS OFFERED A BRIBE. The first witness in the trial of Dr. Herman Feist at Nashville, Tenn., Saturday, charged with the murder of Mrs. Rosa Mangrum, whose body was found in the Ohio river at Cairo, Ill., was G. P. Stone, and his testimony proved highly sensational. Stone declared that Mrs. Truedale, sister of the murdered woman, offered him $500 to positively identify a horse and buggy which he saw at the union station on the night of the mysterious disappearance of Mrs. Mangrum. President Roosevelt took the position that since Mr. Oliver had met all the requirements of the government, it would be unjust to reject his bid of 5.75 percent for the construction of the canal or even to require him to submitted new bid for the contract. Mr. Oliver had informed the president that it was his desire to submit an independent bid for the work and that when the canal commission officials informed him that it would be necessary to form a partnership with some other financially responsible contractor, they even went as far as to suggest that he enter into an agreement with Anson M. Bangs, of New York City. Mr. Oliver said that after receiving this suggestion from Chairman Shonts, he visited the war department, and was informed that Mr. Bangs would be entirely satisfactory to the government. Mr. Oliver told the president with this assurance to the reliability of Mr. Bangs, he immediately entered into an agreement with the New York contractor. Powerful influences were brought to bear on the president and Secretary Taft to reject all bids and advertise for new proposals, but the president insisted that Mr. Oliver should be given a reasonable time in which to make a satisfactory arrangement to substitute another contractor, or group of contractors, to take the place of Mr. Bangs. At the White House conference on Saturday night the friends of MacArthur Gillespie syndicate argued that the contract figures should be increased to 9 per cent of the total cost of construction and that the contract be awarded to Oliver, MacArthur and Gillespie. This suggestion, however, did not meet with the approval of the New York firm, who insisted that they could not undertake the work for less than 12.50 per cent of the total cost, the figure mentioned in their original bid. The president, Secretary Taft and the canal commission officials decided to award the contract to Mr. Oliver, provided he could make satisfactory arrangements with at least two other financially responsible contractors. Secretary Taft and R. R. Rogers, general counsel to the canal commission, were in conference with the president for two hours Sunday night and the whole matter was again gone over. At the direction of the president Mr. Rogers prepared the official statement for the press. When informed of the statement by the direction of the president, Mr. Oliver's representative said: "There is absolutely no doubt about Mr. Oliver being able to fulfill the requirements of the canal commission. There are now at least twenty of the most responsible contractors of the United States who have expressed a willingness to join Mr. Oliver in the work mentioned in his original bids. These names will be submitted to President Roosevelt at once, with proof of their financial ability. Before entering into another arrangement Mr. Oliver wants to know positively that the contractor he chooses will be acceptable to the government." MORGAN TO ASSIST OBJAR. Captain Wheeler. Will Not Be Assigned to Georgia Millia as Reported. Notice has been given by the war department at Washington that Captain J. N. Morgan of the twelfth cavalry, United States army, stationed at Fort Oglethorpe, has been assigned to assist Inspector General W. G. Obear in the inspection of the Georgia state national guard. Orders, were promulgated some days ago, saying that Capt. Jos. Wheeler, U.S. A., would be assigned. No reason is given for the change. re BS LoS ee OEE aI Ah ESSE ERR ear ELE t i ieeg ‘i Ste E Ss cee Cha CISL eT ees ee Rain ere eee eee Gere Re Sha Sena Pe Se eae eer see Oe irc enee “he ee ee at Ne ee Eker sl ae ee ‘ Mile 8 OT ov ig eee “ears yeas! % te e oe e ae ee in ge ee _i- ee ee eon . seeming Mme *, th ere, ie — = ~~ = Se map = 7 i.

KEEP down race agitation. Do everything consistently in encouraging race enterprises. In training your children teach them to become loyal race lovers. PROF. L. S. CLARK, of Knox, Institute is to be commended for the excellent standing of the institute. The enrollment this year is a record breaker. There is now 315 students in attendance. MAJ. SIDNEY HERBERT, in his notes in the Morning News last Sunday, gave the most succinct view of the Brownsville affair that has been given so far. His definition of the law and the prerogative of the President were clear. THE colored citizens of Savannah as a whole, are among the most loyal race lovers that can be found anywhere. They will support any worthy race enterprise. Some say otherwise, but THE TRIBUNE is in a position to contradict it. The only thing that our people expect is a fair return for their money; do this and you have got them. JUDGE CANN, in a special charge to the grand jury on Monday touched on the establishing of a juvenile court. There should be no objection to the establishment of this court, especially if it will be conducted in a manner for the good of all of the people of the county. This court may assist in reclaiming some of the youthful offenders who otherwise would be treated as criminals. A FEW days ago on Market square a strapping policeman was seen grappling a diminutive colored girl about eight years of age, and stated that she was caught stealing. This girl was sent to the barracks in the patrol wagon, and if there was no one to intercede for her, no doubt she would have been sent among hardened, criminals there to become educated in crime and thus place the county to additional expense. It was announced during the week that, if colored youths were sent to the reformatory, its usefulness would be impaired. It is upon this hypothesis that our white friends act. Many of them allow their prejudice to get the best of their better judgment, and just there is where the greatest mistake is made. A colored boy who is a criminal is no worse than a white boy who is the same, and for them to be placed in a reformatory will not affect the morals of either. On several occasions THE TRIBUNE, has made mention of white boys and young men gambling in the colonial park. During the week several of them were arrested, but released for alleged insufficient evidence. If colored boys made this place a rendezvous and acted as wantonly as white boys and young men have acted, they would have been ran down and punished and the practice of congregating there abolished long ago. THERE can be seen in the business district every day, a number of small boys and girls gathering wood and other refuse matter. In going these rounds many of them learn the first lesson in stealing. Parents of these children should not allow them to roam the streets in this manner. Many boys and girls who are now offenders of the law and of morality can trace their downfall to the freedom allowed them in the streets. By all means keep the boys, and girls at home. We frequently hear of the establishment of new enterprises in the city among our people, but as a general thing they are along lines already established. There is no serious objection to that, but if we can induce our men of money and of brain to branch out into enterprises not already established our condition would be materially bene- fited. For instance we need a clothing store, a furniture store, another shoe store. We want our women to establish a first-class millinery store, and other paying business that we do not now mention. All of them would pay; all that is required is money, ability and pluck. By all means let us have some of them before the end of the year. College Dots. The faculty and students of the Georgia State Industrial College have expressed their profound sympathy to Instructor Golden in his sore affliction from the death of his father. Prof. Work will lecture on Africa and its people, the last week in February. Prof. Pearson will lecture the last week in March. Rev. W. L. Cash, pastor of the First Congregational Church of Savannah visited the College on last Monday. He addressed the school at the noon hour. His address was replete with practical advice. He reminded the students of the great cloud of witnesses in the back ground, noting with intense interest every movement in their career. This, he said, should encourage and inspire them to be patient, but persistent under all difficulties, to struggle faithfully for the highest attainments and the greatest usefulness. Rev. Cash is an earnest and impressive speaker. Visitors are always welcome. Men's Sunday Club. Last Sunday the meeting of the Sunday Club was one of the largest in attendance ever held. The meeting had been advertised for several weeks and the result was good. The usual opening exercises were held after which Dr S. P. Lloyd, President of the club made a short address of welcome to the clubs. This was responded to by representatives of the clubs. It was very gratifying to know that clubs holding their meeting at that time, not being able to attend in a body, sent representatives. Prof. M.N Work founder and first President of the club spoke on the value of clubs. After pointing out the historic existence of clubs in all lands and among all people, Prof. Work spoke of the great good a federation of clubs could accomplish. Besides other clubs the Onatham County Emancipation Association, The Star Aid and Social Club, and the Union Brotherhood and Benevolent Association were represented. The representatives from the clubs expressed themselves as being very much pleased with the meeting and promised to attend whenever they were able. Mr. Jake Wright, a representative of Union Brotherhood and representative for the Star Aid and Social Club and Mr. E. B. Roberts, Jr spoke. Dr. Lloyd emphasized the power we have and the fact that we do not seem to know it. The Sunday Club will celebrate Lincoln-Douglas birthday Feb.12th, with a literary and musical program There will be no admission charged but refreshments will be served. On February 22nd, Washington birthday the club will have another lecture at Beach Chapel. This lecture will be delivered by Pres. R. R. Wright. Pr s. Wright has found to be a popular lecturer wherever he has appeared, and we feel safe in predicting a most interesting and instructive lecture. Pres. Wright has lectured often in the North, East and West and we feel fortunate in being able to have this talent at home. The lecture will be supported with an excellent 'high class musical. Further particulars later. Get ready now you cannot afford to muss this. To morrow we will furnish another musical program, nothing but music. Lovers of music should come out.

Jenkens, Revs. J. A. Brockett, and Rev. W. L. Cash gass sermon outlines of their Sunday discourses. Revs. R.V. Branch, L. W. M. McMillan, N. B. Bemby, B. S. Hannah, and other disciples had a big time pulling over the meat on "those bones." The outlines were real gems and were well received by the Union, with gossip they built off people. Wonder where were those preachers on Tuesday? They belong to the Union. Surely they can't be afraid to come out to the light. Presiding Elder R M. S. Taylor and Rey, J. Jackson were present. The Union is growing. Next meeting will be a "hunmer." All the up to date preachers will be present. All the "backnumbers" will stay home. Now Watch out in next TIRBUNE. Second Baptist Church.

It should look something like this.—George P. Will- dams, Radnor, Ohio. , . + itette See Bor Cision: | A few years ago farmers were almost afraid to ralse hogs on ac- count of the prevalence of cholera. Once that disease got a start in a herd it generally succeeded in prac- Ueally destrqying it. Not only the old stock but the pigs were also affected. Hog cholera remedies were sometimes used to good advantage, then again they proved ineffectual in stopping the ravages of the plague. Since the farmers have taken to raising alfalfa extenslyely as » field forage plant for hogs, however, the situation is changed. Now hog cholera, in sections where swine are pastured on alfalfa, is rare and the Joss by the disease has been reduced to a mere fraction of’ that of former times, Farmers everywhere attrib- ate the change to the wonderful ‘plant, alfalfa, and they are doubt- Jess correct in their conclusions. + ~The difference in the health of hogs that have been kept In feed lots and fed grain and dry feeds ts Pronounced and particularly so with regard to young pigs. Sucklings that have slfalfa-fed mothers are far more rugged and healthy than those qwhose ancestral dam can be traced to the plg sty. Sows that forage on alfalfa rafge lusty, hearty pigs that seldam fall victims to cholera, while the mothers that are kept on either feeds and not permitted the freedom ‘of the alfalfa flelds are génerally in- eljned to be sickly. Kansas has mado pe earned in growing alfalfa the past five or six years and those ¢ec- tlons“of the State where ft is raised mévt extensively are turning out the eleanest hogs aiid the-farmers ¢om- plain less of the prevalente of cholera, toe xa If'there is anything that vill soive the hog cholera problem which ha_ always been a great loss to farmers tt is alfalfa. The time will come when every hog feeder and grower will plant alfalfa for no other purpose than grazing hogs. It 1s not Ikely thet the millentum is very near, but when the universal alfalfa time ‘comes It will not be surprising ‘afin hog cholera on the shelf as a back number, while tze swine of that day will not know what sickness is.— 'Tke -Epitomist. *attening Piss in the Woods. Recently we visited a farmer friend who is known for his thrift and up-to-date farm methods. He has ideas ‘ot his own which he put into successful practice, One of these is seen in the manner in which he fattens his hogs for market. He al- lows them to have free range of a large wood Iot in which a plg house has been built. In the upper part of this building he has placed a store of corn which he feeds to the animals when they appear to be hungry. In this his methods differ from many 4armers we know of who keep their pigs closed up in a narrow pen and give them more corg than they can eat at one time, in fact surfeit them. Of course the friend in question gives plenty of drink in the way of sepa- rated milk and enough water to his pigs to satisfy their thirst. We have always believed that if pigs are al- lowed to run in the woods or ffelds during fattening season, although the fattening process is not quite so rapid as when housed up, the meat after slaughter is of a better tex- ture and a finer flavor than that of the closely .confined animals. Prac- tical experience has proven this to be the case. | One thing noticeable, about the pigs belonging,to our friend, was the clean, healthy appearance of the ‘Whole lot. Plenty of etercise in open air, a good crop of beech nuts at their command, plenty of drink and Just the right ambunt of corn at a feeding, combine to make these pigs a course of pleasure and profit to their owner.—Indiana Farmer, ° Shelter and Warmth. Shelter is a valuable adjunct to the food. As heat 1s produced’ from the food, it is well Known that the warmer the animal {5 kept In winter the less food Is required to supply its wants. The winter is an excel- ent time for fattening stock, owing to the outdoor work being then part- ly suspended, and there 1s no better assistant for that purpose than dry quarters. Before the animal can lay jon fat the ordinary demands for the ‘heat of the body must be provided, and during very severe and’ cold sea- ‘sons thé animals cannot even appro- priate sufficient food to create the necessary heat to sustain Ife when they are exposed without shelter: Every pound of flesh lost must be Tenewed,.and every day that an anl- mal is féd without gaining in flesh 4s so much time lost that cannot be regained. Shelter, then, Js econom- cal in enabling the animals to not only supply themselves with heat, Dut also to store on fat, and it rep- resents just so much grain or hay, The ‘more complete the bullding for the purposes intended the better, and the more comfortable the animals the faster they will increase in welght. One should never wait until the sea- son becomes cold before cresting the shelter, as a good start in the fall will materially assist the animals to enter the winter full of vigor and well prepared to endure the cold, provided they are properly cared for. As the hogs will gain fram good shel- ter, so will the cattle and sheep, which also should be Kept warm. Even the poultry will lay“in winter {f kept warm and comfortable and fed as regularly as the larger stock. Farm Tonics. Avoid getting hens over fat for egg farm. : ‘The busy hen fs the laying hen, Keep them busy. Hens over two sears old are of very little use for eggs. One breed, and the best, should be every poultry man’s motto, When a swarm fs put into a new hive, thelr first care ts to bulld comb. We shonid not expect every chick to be a prize winner. One per cent. is not a bad showing. If trusts are responsible for the high price of poultry, farmers will rejoice to see them continue to flourish, ‘ Jt is poor policy to try to beat a colt into doing anything. Patience and gentleness will induce him to do anything that will not hurt him. No’ farm is <omplete without a good flock of good fowls. Farmers themselves should give more atten- tlon to the poultry, for it brings in a steady income. Tt you want to bring brightness and joy into the hen house try a cab- bage head hung just so the chicks Will have to jump for it. Jf will keep them busy and healthy, too. Burllocks around the. fencs cor- ners can be killed by pouring 2 little strong sulphuric acid into the centre of each plant. Persistent hoeing off below the crown will also kill them. No matter what you are offered for them, save some of the best éwe Jambs for your own flock. ; Take those trom the middle-aged, thrifty mothers. ‘They will raise larger and ‘better lambs themselves.?

Hog of Brilliant Color. That really beautiful species the Red River hog of West Africa is now well represented In the zoo. In com- mon with other juvenile wild pigs the Red River hog is striped in the early part of its Ilfe. When about three months old it loses its mark- ings and the body has a spotted ap- pearance. ‘The adult {s one of the most bril- Mantly colored mammals in existence, ‘but its bright red hue no doubt har- monizes with its surroundings, the soll in many parts of West Africa being red. It fs of an elegant shape and ‘with its tufted tall and long, pentilied cars has considerable pre- tentions to beauty. Though it has not the enormous tusks found in many of the wild swine the Red River hog is not de- void of means of defense. Its face is protected by hard callosities on each side, just below the eyes, and there 1s a bony ridge on each side of the upper jaw. And that these growths are not merely ornamental is proved by the fact that this animal can hold. its own with the wart hog, a species provided with formidable upturned sore Gazette.

HENDERSON THE FAMOUS DIVINE Subject—The Ten Words: Brooklyn, N; N: Y—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme "The Ten Words," the Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, pastor, took as his text Exodus 20:1-17. He said: that the laws of the ten tablets are of merely negative force. Explicitly I presume, that is so. On the fact of things the element of prohibition enters, largest, into the commands. But every explicit prohibition, an Whatever may be our personal and private convictions as to the manner of God's revelation of Himself to Moses, however much we may differ as to the exact form in which the law-giver of Israel received the message of Divinity; however much we may be at variance as to the exactness of the Bible story in its portraiture of the scene when Moses met Jehovah on Sinai; no matter what may be our belief concerning the date and the authorship of the book of the Exodus, the simple fact is that the ten commandments are the expression of fundamental truths that God has revealed to man. Behind all human law and jurisprudence lies the code of Moses. These ten stern, terse negative commands that Moses got from God are at the basis of all legal-theory and practice. The decalog is the codification of the divine will for the guidance and control of human action. The ten words are the rules of the Almighty for the regulation of man's relations with humanity and his Maker. Take them, merely. If you will, as the human recognition of man's obligations toward God and society and still the commandments are of God. When we reach the conclusion by the three most philosophy of the Middle Ages, or the simple reasoning of the earlier principles of Israel, or by the scientific discriminative processes of modern thought, the fact is that all truth is found. "Thus saith the Lord" is the course of life's verities. It is God who inspires us, God who gives us knowledge and understanding and wisdom; God it is who sends us onward and upward. He it was who put into the hearts of Moses and of Israel the love of His laws and the desire to do His will. And to-day He strives with us as really as He ever endeavored with the generations that are dead. The question is not whether or no God gave Moses tablets of stone; the issue is not whether or no Moses wrote the story of the scene on the mount, as it is preserved to us; the point to be decided is whether or no Moses spoke God-given truth. It all hinges not on the manner of the delivery of the commandments but upon the nature and divineness of the matter revalued. Do Moses' words bear the marks of a heavenborn gift, are they fraught with the power and the wisdom of Jehovah Himself? Are they stamped with a celestial brand and do they express overstating verities? Are they just men and are they the worthy of the King? Do they meet the needs of men? Are they inspirational? These are the tests of the usefulness and the worthiness of the commandments. These are the qualities that must inhere in them they can command the respect of humanity and evidence God's origination. By these standards the ten commandments are divinely inspired. A glance at them discovers to us the seal of the Eternal. Experience of their value in the midst of the activities of this world's life proves their worth to mankind. Analysis of their content and their aim leads us to declare their worthy of Jehovah. With all that inquiry asks and criticism demands the ten words are at one. Consider the commandments separately and you will grant I speak the truth. The call of God for undivided loyalty to himself is but the voice of reason. No man can serve two masters. And it is a certainty that least of all can he serve two masters whose interests are diametrically opposed. We cannot serve righteousness and sin at the same time. God deserves the full devotion of every human heart. To worship an idol is to lose the consciousness of the spirituality of Divinity; to mistake means for the end, material manifestations for the unseen dynast. To play fast and loose with God's gnome is an insult to the Father. The self-respect of God requires human self-control. Profanity is indecent and degrading to mind and soul. The need and the precessional of a Sabbath's rest is too apparent to warrant comment. Common courtesy accords respect to our earthly parents, especially when they are worthy of respect. Strict obedience to the command "thou shalt not kill" would spoil the business of the executioners; stop war at once. The fruits of adultery are all too distressingly visible. The jails are full of thieves and would be overcrowded were the Mosaic code rigidly applied and enforced. Lying is mean, unmanly, despicable, disreputable, devilish. Satisfaction with a fair share of this world's goods is better than covetousness. The decalog meets humanity at vital points and helps mankind abead. Although included in the law of love laid down by Christ it is by no means abrogated. The ten commandments bind us as well as Moses. The words of Christ emphasize their demands. The laws of Moses are not defeasible or defunct. They will always be obligating. No statement of our Lord and no bit of New Testament wisdom legislates them out of existence or countermands them. They still bind us. The eleventh command merely supports, supplements and reinforces the other ten. Love God and you won't serve Mammon and the no-gods of the aliens. Much less will you take His name in vain. Love God and you will treat His children well. Love the brethren and you will labor to make their lives joyous. The words of Christ serve most to imbed the laws of Moses deeper in the minds of Christians who are honest. that the laws of the ten tablets are of merely negative force. Explicitly I presume, that is so. On the face of things the element of prohibition enters, largest, into the commands. But every explicit prohibition and negation impliedly asserts a corresponding and correlated affirmation and positive admonition. "Thou shalt not." says the law, explicitly. "Thou shalt" says the same law implicitly. The law against murder implies the right of life. The discountening of falsehood puts a premium on truth. To smash our idols is the first step toward whole-spirited service of the alone true God. The command to stop work and shut up shop implies that a day's rest is necessary and that God receive specific recognition from His children once a week at least. These and the rest of the commands indicate to the man with the open mind that the ten words are something more than a series of "don'ts." Talk about avoiding prohibitions is not well balanced. It is impossible for the thinking man to escape them. The positive commands of Jesus suggests innumerable prohibitions. The mere "thou shalt" intimates that there is something we must not do. Med tell us that prohibitions cause men to desire to do wrong, that commands not to do evil impel men to sin just because of humanity's sheer perverseness. But sin comes from the wilfulness of the sinner and not because of any law, negative or positive. Jesus promulgated the most extensive as well as the most statesmanlike positive law that the world has ever known; but we know that even many of His followers fail to obey it, as well as the multitude of those who defiantly deny Him. Despite Christ's positive example and His positive declarations and demands men still continue to run after sin. The shrine of Mammon is joined with votaries. The streets resound with curses. The barlots and the men of unclean life still strike unholy barges. Homes are shattered and lives are blighted by the lynge tongue. The cells in "inmurdery row" are ever full. The nations maintain armed camps. Legislators spend their time trying to devise ways and means to do-Christianize our Sabath. They are almost said, legislators their own, and legislators will never be crowned with success except America as Ephraim "is a cake not turned." Everywhere and every moment men are sinning, and in the face of the positive command of Christ that they should desire and strive for the best. But no one is foolish enough to say that the affirmative demand of Jesus that humanity do and be good impels mankind to obedience. Likewise it ought to be patent that men sin against negative laws not because of the laws but in spite of them. The ten commandments are no more responsible for sin than is the eleventh. And the man who says that law excited him to sin invents a lame and a thin excuse to say the most for it. A due and proper regard for the ten commandments not only will lead men to cease from doing the interdicted sins but also will inspire them to do good. The implicit "thou shalt" is just as mandatory as the explicit "thou shalt not." $^4$ Thou shalt not covet, for you will have enough to do and will secure sufficient of this world's stores if you will attend strictly to your own affairs. "Thou shalt not bear false witness," for your "own reputation for veracity is lost with the lie. And no matter how well you may lie or how smooth and slick you may be the odds are against you, for the truth must win and it will win. "Thou shalt not commit adultery," because the perpetuity of the race is dependent on its successor. Thou shalt not be! $^5$ Because God has given the other man the inalienable right to life. "Honor thy father and thy mother" and let them precipitate any troubles if any there are to be, not you. $^6$ "Remember the Sabbath day" and make it a true rest-day. "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain," and yet I have heard many a man take more liberties with the name of God than you allow any of God to take with yours. Thou shalt not how down to images or serve other gods, for the Lord is a spirit and a unity; an idol is a delusion and a snare. Let us put aside all quibbling and splitting of hairs and admit the right of the ten words to rule as the laws of our lives. Let us acknowledge their divine inspiration and their worthiness. Let us not seek to escape either their commands or their implicates. If we cannot live under the laws of God with peace and quletude of mind then let us change not the laws but our mode of living. The fault is not with God's regulations but with our society and its forms. God giveth and possesseth wisdom. Humanity has a monopoly of the wiseacres. The statement that the ten commandments are of no use to day and that we have outgrown them is a bit of fiction. No man is old enough to outgrow essential truth, nor is any people wise enough and strong enough to get along without the ten commandments. So long as men have minds they must recognize the force of "thou shalt not" as the decalog presents it. The new commandment may sum up all the wisdom of the old ones, but the truth that swayed our fathers' fathers must still command allegiance and respect. Where to Put Your Trust. My trust is not that I am holy, but that, being unholy, Christ died for me.

Itching Pimples Covered Holly—Discharged For Disability—Found Cure in Cutcurea Remedies. "I enlisted in the Corps of Engineers as a telegraph operator, and, while stationed in the Philippines, I became subject to the Dobie Itcs, as the natives call it. In this disease small, white, itching pimplems form under the skin, generally between the toes, on the limbs, between the fingers of the hands, in a case originating outside the Philippine Islands, but have known of many cases where it has returned in this country and invariably at the same time of the year as the original attack. The cause, so far as I could learn, was some tropical parasite or germ peculiar to that region. "I got so bad that I was confined to my quarters a week at a time. The Army Surgeons applied some carbolic solution, and it would disappear for a time, when it would break out again. I was discharged from the Engineers by reason of disability contracted in line of duty, and when I had the trouble again, my druggist, Mr. Z., of Brooklyn, recommended Cuticura Remedies. The immediate relief was manifest with my first purchase, and the malady quickly yielded to the Cuticura Remedies.

AWFUL ATTACKS OF PAIN. A Most Dreadful Case of Kidney Trouble and How It Was Cured. Thomas N. McCullough, 321 South Weber St., Colorado Springs, Colo., says: "For twelve or fifteen years I was suffering frequent attacks of pain in the back and kidneys that lasted for three weeks at a time. I would be unable to turn in bed. The urine was in a terrible condition, at times a complete stoppage occurring. I began with Doan's Kidney Pills, and soon felt better. Keeping on, I found complete freedom from kidney trouble. The cure has been permanent. I owe my good health to Doan's Kidney Pills." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

But many times women cill on their family physician, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous prostration, another with pain here and there, and in this way they present alike to themselves and their easy-going or overbusy doctor, separate* diseases, for which he, assuming them, is not. In reality, they are all only symptoms caused by some uterine disease. The physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering, keeps up his treatment until large bills are made. The suffering patient complains of the treatment, but probably worsens the pumper medicine like Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, directed to the course would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those distressing symptoms, and allowing treatment to be well said that "a disease known is half cued." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a scientific medicine, carefully devised by Dr. Pierce and adapted to woman's delicate system.

New York Man's Credentials Found to Be Unsatisfactory and He Was Turned-Down at Conference at White House. A Washington special says; As the result of an extended conference at the white house Friday, it was decided to reject the bid of Oliver and Bangs, who proposed to complete the construction of the Panama canal for 6.75 per cent of the total estimated cost, in so far as Anson M. Bangs of New York is concerned. While no official statement was given out, it can be authoritatively stated that if William J. Oliver of Knoxville, Tenn., can enter into a satisfactory arrangement with some other contractor, who is financially responsible, he will be given the big contract. The fact that the MacArthur-Gillespie company of New York, whose bid was 12.5 per cent, was represented at the conference, leads many to believe that a combination may be formed between that firm and Oliver. It is known that the MacArthur-Gillespie company has convinced President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft of its responsibility and the canal commission officials are satisfied that Oliver is able to carry out his end of the agreement. There would have been no question as to awarding the contract to Oliver and Bangs had the credentials presented by Bangs proven as satisfactory as those furnished by Oliver. The decision means that Mr. Oliver will be given a chance to take some other contractor into partnership. The canal, commission, with this requirement met, will not undertake to dictate to him who this contractor shall be. The rejecting of all bids was discussed at Friday's cabinet meeting, and this decision had been practically agreed upon before the night conference. If Mr. Oliver refuses to consider the contract after the rejection of Mr. Bangs, the canal commission will issue a call for new bids. Anson M. Bangs of New York, Mr. Oliver's associate, was the contractor for the Soo line canal locks. Mr. Bangs is a brother-in-law of John F. Gaynor of the firm of Greene and Gaynor, who were implicated with Captain O. M. Carter in the Savannah harbor frauds. This fact, however, it is stated, had no influence with the canal commission. After the cabinet meeting Mr. Oliver left Washington for New York, and it is admitted by his representatives that he will ask the MacArthur-Gillespie company to join him in submitting a proposal in place of the old submitted under the firm name of Oliver & Bangs. It is stated that a compromise arrangement will be considered by the canal commission, provided Oliver succeeds in making a satisfactory arrangement with the MacArthur-Gillespie company to pay 9 per cent of the total cost for the construction of the canal.

As the result of a schoolboy fight which occurred at the Georgia Normal College at Abbeville, Friday morning, two people are fatally wounded and two seriously, if not fatally. A difficulty occurred at the campus of the college the day before between two young boys, which resulted in young Lamar Carswell being considerably used up by some other boys at the school. It seems that E. L. Carswell, the father of Lamar, took exception to this, and he and W. B. Carswell, with their boys, went to meet those youths who were engaged in the previous difficulty, and, it is stated, that they met several of them as they were returning late from school and began to make efforts to chastise them. The boys opened fire on the Carswells, shooting W. B. Carswell in the bowels, fatally wounding him. F. L. Carswell received a shot in the lower bowels and he is seriously if not fatally wounded. Young Lamar Carswell received several cuts with a knife, and he is severely wounded. Young Fletcher McLeed received a shot in the bowels, and his physicians say that he is fatally wounded. All parties are prominently connected. Young McLeed is a son of Hon. George F. McLeed, a farmer, and county commissioner, and the Carswells all reside in Abbeville, and are prominently connected. It seems that no one knows who did the shooting. It is claimed that it was done by a young man attending the school by the name of Jack Brophy, who lives in Telfair county. Officers are at work on the case. DIFFICULT TO GET JURORS. Salacloue Thaw Trial Being Delayed at the Initial Stage. At New York Friday, fifty-one talesmen were examined in rapid fire order in the effort to complete the jury which is to try Harry K. Thaw for the killing of Stanford White, and at the end of the day's session two names had been added to the jury roll, making seven in all. That there is an increasing difficulty in finding men who are willing or competent to serve was evidenced by the fact that on the first day of the trial three jurors were sworn from among nineteen talesmen, one of them being excused subsequently by the court. Automobilist Marriott Mangled Smash of His Machine. In a third attempt to break the onenile record at Ormond, Fla., Friday, Marriott's steam car struck a bump in the beach, and it was hurled into the air and shattered to fragments when it fell and hurled along the truck. Marriott was seriously, but probably not fatally injured. That he escaped with his life is regarded but little shock of miraculous. He was absolutely helpless after the car struck the obstruction and sprang into the air. Three Fires in Virginia Capital Entail Loss of $332,000. Tire in the Williams building at Richmond, Va., early Wednesday, which destroyed the Richmond Light Infantry Blues armory and equipment, the Southern and Adams express offices and a branch of the Subrug Tobacco company, was followed by two other areas—one in a lumber plant and the other in the building occupied by the B. F. Johnson Publishing company and Southern Paper company. The loss on the three fires is $332, 000; insurance, $193,000; PEONAGE STORY OF GREEKS Reaches Commissioner Sargent from the Inspector at Tampa. A report regarding the six Greeks who called on Immigrant Inspector Seraphe at Tampa, Fla., Friday, was received by Commissioner Sargent, of the immigration bureau at Washington Saturday. An affidavit by the men accompanying the report substantiated the story they told to the Inspector, that they had been badly treated; and that an effort had been made to detain them. REPORT IS MODIFIED And Postal Rate for Newspapers Will Not Be Raised. Through the efforts of Clay, of Georgia, and Moon, of Tennessee, a modification of the original report of the committee regarding postage on newspapers, both dailies and weeklies, has been made. It is confidently expected that the postage on the newspapers will remain the same as now. I hold to the theory that that man is of no account who, in his life has made no bitter enemies, that that organization which is not attacked, has no force of character and will die. There is absolutely no progress in this world or the next without opposition. The great Catholic Church, most powerful for good, and holding the allegiance of hundreds of thousands, excommunicates Freemaconry. Many good men of other churches declare against the fraternity, we are constrained to believe, because they do not understand its principles or its purposes. Men point to members of the great order unworthy to sit in council, or to press the hand of friendship. Were it just that we be condemned for the sins of a few, then the great church would also be, condemned. There are men who become members of the church with deliberate intent to cover an evil soul and black designs with a white mantle of purity, yet for this the church is not condemned. Such men may even accomplish good for others by their teachings which they themselves may not believe. Men enter Masonry that the outward badge of respectability and worth may attach to their power, to which they are not entitled. The hypocrite in the church sits on the front pew and cries Amen and Amen louder than all the rest. The unworthy Mason is found at the front of all public professions of Masonry with the biggest badge and the whitest apron—Wm Southern. Suic De and Masonic Burial. While Masonity gives no countenance to the offense of self-destruction, nevertheless the case is conceivable in which it would the right and proper to perform the Mascnti rite of burial over the body of a brother who has taken his own life. Suppose, for instance, some man had been for years a consistent member of the fraternity, exemplifying in his daily lift, at all times, and in all places, the noble tergs of our profession, ever among the foremost in the practice of charity, just and true to all men; but-supose, further, that all too suddenly, troubles had thickened about him—he had been bereft of those he held most dear; pecunary losses had heaped themselves upon his devoted head, and under the crushing weight of despair reason had, "in the twinkling of an eye," been dethroned, and he had, in that moment of insanity or frenzy, let out his life—under such circumstances to deny Masonic burial to the dead brother would be abhorrent to our best feelings. W. Y. Tilcomb. The Eastern Star, how much it signifies and what grand work it has accomplished. If we pause for a moment in our busy existence and look back over the fifty-three years since its organization, what a record of good works is opened to our gaze. The veritable handmaiden of Masonry, what acts of Charity and Loving Kindness have, been wrought in its name since Robert Morris first laid the foundations of this, noble order. We should each and every one of us feel proud of its past and resolve to labor faithfully, and earnestly, for its future success. To us our duty is clear, let us so work that our successors may have naught to criticise and nothing to undo to carry out the principles of this order—Walter Pond, THE SPLENDID SHOWING OF THE COLORED STATE FAIR HELD IN MACON NOVEMBER LAST. On another page will be found a complete report of the management of the Colored State Fair Association. The report shows phenomenal success, in view of all the adverse circumstances under which they labored. It was, to say the least, a herculean task, and only by the most arduous labor, toll and patience could they have hoped to win. They were confronted with race disturbances of the worst kind in many parts of the state, causing great depression and fear on the part of the whites. Many of the leading Negroes doubted the wisdom of having it at all, and many prominent whites equally doubted the wisdom of allowing it to be held, lest it might result in greater conflict and more bloodshed between the races than had been already. It hovered in the balance for several days between life and death—whether the city council of Macon would call it off or let it go on as scheduled. And this was just on the eve of opening the fair. But, nothing daunted, these determined men and women set about anew to bring this enterprise into being by forestalling every influence and every obstacle which would prevent its success. They finally triumphed and the fair was a magnificent success. The report shows that the receipts from all sources were $10,862.08; total expenses, $7,193.96; balance in cash, $3,668.12. Value of office-fixtures, etc., $569.00; total assets on hand, $4,237.12. All honor to these brave and inspiritic men and women who achieved such signal victory for their race and state. It is a splendid nucleus out of which can come great inspiration and encouragement to the ambitious men and women of the race, and from which may grow many noble enterprises to the glory and credit of their people. It goes without saying that great credit is due to that noble hero, President R. R. Wright, who was the central figure in the conception and prosecution of this great enterprise. Much honor and credit is also due to the many excellent men and women who helped him to make the fair a success. There should not be the least bickering, for there is glory enough for every one who played his or her part according to their several abilities. It should be a source of great pride and inspiration to every Negro in the state, and every one should come together and make the succeeding fair even more creditable than the first. Let us not forget that the Georgia State Colored Agricultural and Industrial Association is greater than any one man, and is the joint work of the good and noble colored men and women of Georgia, and should be operated and controlled in such a manner as will bring about the greatest good to the greatest number. Let us honor our leader who has done so much to make this great fair a reality. Let us direct him rather than destroy him. "Let us not kill the goose that lays the golden egg." Let us all pull together and have a great fair next, fall, for "united we stand, divided we fall." The Macon Dispatch. STOCKHOLDERS NEGRO FAIR ASSOCIATION MET. Reports of Committees: Were Read and Resolutions Adopted—Net Assets of Association, $4,237.12. The report approved by the auditing committee shows splendid success of the enterprise, the figures being as follows: Balance. in cash $ 3,668.12 Value of office fixtures, etc. $ 569.00 Total assets on hand $ 4,237.12 The following resolutions were unanimously adopted by the stockholders: Whereas, under the auspices of the Georgia State Colored Agricultural and Industrial Association, there was held in November last a colored State fair, the first of the kind in the history of the Negro race, and, which, in spite of this fact, was an overwhelming success; and. Whereas, race disturbances in various places with consequent depression and fear among our people and extreme cautiousness on the part of the whites rendered the prosecution of such an enterprise extremely difficult; and. Whereas, the Fair resulted in greatly relieving the above mentioned depression of the colored people, and the strained relation between the races, and actually introducing an era of good feeling and mutual confidence; and. Whereas, the conduct of the large crowds that visited the Fair ground, both night and day, was so exceptionally orderly as to render police duties almost unnecessary, not a single arrest taking place during the whole fair, showing that the majority of our people are decent, kind-hearted and law-abiding; now; therefore, be it. Resolved, That we feel a deep sense of gratitude to Alnighty God for His gracious favor thus manifested toward us as a people in whole, who so particularly need His assistance. Resolved, second, That we tender to the management of the Fair out bonfelt thanks for their wise and courageous management and assure them of our confidence. We especially commend President R. R. Wright, for his faithfulness and untiring energy in his good work for the First Negro-fair ever held in Georgia and the Central City, Macon; we also tender our commendation to his assistants in this great work, who upheld the president's hand in securing the success of the fair, after it seemed to have been sidetracked. Resolved, third, That we also thank and commend the noble women who, through the Ladies' Auxiliary Organization, did so much good and faithful work to make the fair a success. Resolved, further, "That we extend our heartiest appreciation of the earnest and kind interest of our white neighbors in their cooperation in making the fair a success. This was manifested in many ways. We especially appreciate most keenly the encouragement given us by the mayor and council of the city of Macon and to the local newspapers. We cannot express our gratitude, for they were instrumental more than any other papers in the state-in making the fair a success. Also, the Macon Fair Association, for their kindness in extending us the free use of the Central Park. Resolved, further. That we recommend that the next annual fair of the Georgia State Agricultural and Industrial Association be held in this city next October, 1907, and we pledge our enthusiastic support to the management. No amount of laundry in your religion can make up for a lack of love. Dr. Wiley, Uncle Sam's Pure Food Sieuth, Enlightens the House Committee on Agriculture. A. Washington special says: Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the chemistry bureau of the department of agriculture and government, food expert, gave much interesting testimony concerning the deterioration of foodstuffs in cold storage before the house committed on agriculture, whose hearings on the agricultural appropriation bill have just been made public. Two cold storage warehouses are at Dr. Wiley's disposal in Washington, and he gave the results he has attained by experiments with all sorts of foodstuffs. "Milk begins to deteriorate right away and so does cream," said Dr. Wiley. "Eggs also begin to deteriorate immediately. Fruit is 'improved and sometimes continues to improve for three months. Meat improves up to abut six or eight weeks. But after three months for meat you can see that it has reached the maximum and then it begins to go down. I do not care how hard it is frozen." When asked for a further explanation of the deterioration of meat frozen in gold storage, Dr. Wiley said: "We find that meats do not taste as well, and they do not smell as well, and every time the jury can pick that which has been kept over three months. Take our quail. We have a quail a year old, and we have a fresh quail cooked at the same time. We cooked them just alike, and you can distinguish between them first by their looks and then by smell and taste. Every time the jury can pick them out blindfolded." Dr. Wiley stated that he is a thorough believer in cold storage, and believes that most foods improve when properly kept for a short time, but he said that the object of his experiments is to tell the public, and particularly the cold storage people, how long they may safely keep articles of food in storage. He said that as yet he has been unable to determine whether drawn or undrawn poultry kept the better. Dr. Wiley was asked many questions about oysters, and said that the oysters opened and shipped in buckets should be prevented from entering interstate commerce, as they are dead. "An oyster is dead an hour before it is opened," said Dr. Wiley, "and is not good. It loses its flavor." In response to inquiries from representative Haskins as to the advisability of freezing oysters to preserve them for shipment, Dr. Wiley said: "Oh, they ought not to be frozen. That ruins them and as soon as they thaw they are dangerous." He then urged that oysters should be shipped alive and in the shell and said that the greatest outrage of the oyster trade is to soak oysters with fresh water and swell them up, making them look fat. Dr. Wiley said the oysters sent out in tin cans are all right, but in further denunciation of bulk oysters shipped in tubs and buckets, he said: "They are either preserved with some preservative or are dangerously near the ptomaine line, one of the two." Gelatin was denounced by Dr. Wiley, who said of it: "It is made out of hides, or the scrapings from hides. These hides go into the tanners' vats and these hides that smell to heaven are treated and trimmed, and these trimmings are used to make gelatin. The marine hospital service found tetanus germs in gelatin. Dr. Wiley said that the gelatin factories are the dirtiest in the world. In reply to a question from Representative Haughen, as to the uses of gelatin, Dr. Wiley said: "It is used for putting, into ice cream and candles and for making capsules that you put your medicine in." South Carolina Senate Passes Bill With That-End in View. The South Carolina senate Friday morning, after a brief skirmish, adopted the Smith resolution to abolish the state dispensary. The vote was 19 to 16. The Smith resolution calls upon the joint senate and house judiciary committees to frame a bill looking to the abolishment of the state dispensary and providing for local opion as between county dispensary and probation. Nashville Negroes Protested Against Presentation of "Clansman." Alleging that it will embitter the immediate vicinity and possibly lead to bloodshed, a large delegation of negro preachers at Nashville, Tenn., urged Mayor Morris to prohibit, the proposed presentation of "The Clansman" at a local theater. They were informed by the mayor that he had no authority to prevent the play being given. In Senate Speech, Indianian Makes Assertion, and is Promptly Challenged by, Bacon, Carmack and Tillman. "The child labor law of Georgia is a dead letter. There is no system of milt inspection provided, and no means of enforcing it," said Senator Beveridge, in his discussion of child labor in the senate Monday. When he began to pay attention to conditions in Georgia and other southern states, the southern senators began to be heard from. Ambng them were Senators Bacon of Georgia, Carmack of Tennessee and Tillman of South Carolina. Senator Bacon asked that the child labor act, passed by the Georgia legislature, be admitted in the published report of Senator Beveridge's speech, in connection with his remarks dealing with Georgia. This the senator from Indiana declined to allow dohe, and the senator from Georgia gave notice that, at the conclusion of Senator Beveridge's remarks, he would ask the attention of the senate long enough to call attention to the Georgia child labor act approved August 1, 1906, in order that it might go in the record immediately following the Beveridge address. Senator Beveridge declared that since this law went into effect, on January 1, forbidding children between 10 and 12 years of age being employed in mills, unless they were orphans or children of indigent parents, more than 3,000 applications for permission to work children in the mills of Fulton county had been received by Ordinary John R. Wilkinson of that county. "How many have been granted?" asked Mr. Bacon. "All of them." Mr. Bacon then explained that the law prohibited children under twelve years of age from working after January 1, 1907. "Yes," responded Mr. Beveridge, "but there is not an inspector in the state, and no means of enforcing that provision. What good is a measure of that kind?" Senator Bacon had made the point that the specific instances cited by Senator Beveridge were isolated cases, and not indicative of conditions generally prevailing. In reply the advocate of a national child labor law bill said that the filing of applications affecting 3,000 children in one county, was not criticism sustaining the scarcity claims of such cases. Senator Bacon made clear the point that he was heartily in favor of reasonable regulation of child labor, and said that his objection to the Beveridge national child labor law was based upon the ground that it conflicted with state authority. So far as the evils of child labor were concerned, Senator Bacon admitted that there was probably a great deal of force in the arguments presented, but that Georgia was in the way to correct it, and that conditions would improve since the passage of the state child labor law. He thought state legislative action the only way to deal with the question. Mr. Beveridge stated that three-fourths of the cotton factories of the south were opposing the bill; that the railroads of the south were opposing it, and that the colli mine operators of the south were opposing it. He presented an illustrative map showing the location of the opposing industries, and said that in anticipation of this weighty opposition he should devote the major portion of his speech to setting forth evidence of the plorable conditions he had pictured. This evidence, he said, was all sworn to and in the form of affidavits. BEVERIDGE GAGGED AGAIN. Bacon Calls Him Down on Some Erroneous Statements Senator Beveridge was again interrupted during his discussion Tuesday in the senate of the child labor evil as it exists throughout the country by Senator Bacon of Georgia, to correct the statement made on Monday by Mr. Beveridge regarding child labor in Atlanta. It was shown by statements received by wire from Atlanta that instead of permits having been issued to 3,000 children under 12 and over-10 years of age, to work in the cotton mills of Fulton county, Georgia, that only ten permits had been issued. BLIZZARD RAGES IN TEXAS. Losses of Stockmen and Fruit Growers Will Be Enormous ers Will Be Enormous.
