Carter and a corps of deputies representing the department of justice from early Tuesday morn ing to way after nightfall. Up to that hour the efforts of federal officials to serve the subpoena issued from Judge Landis’ court in Chicago on Mr. Rocke- . feller had been unsuccessful, and Mar- shal Chandler and his deputies will continue picketing the Rockefeller es- tate. Access to the lodge was denied a deputy marshal Tuesday afternoon and Marshal Chandler at that time an- nounced that he would ask the depart- ment of justice at Washington for fur- ther authority in the case, Later he was ddmitted to the lodge and Supor- Intendent Jones of the Rockefeler $s- tate informed him that he and his dep- uties could have the fredom of the place, a disclaimer betng entered that the barring of, the gate against the deputy was meant as an affront to fed- eral authority. “Basing my opinion upon private information and indications at Forest Hill, I would say that Mr, Rockefeller is now at his Cleveland house,” Mar shal Chandler said on reaching his office. “Just how or when he arrived I do not know,” the marshal continued, “but it looks as though he reached Cleveland Monday and entered his es- tate by way of the rear entrance. The only answer I have obtained to any of my questions at his house was from the front gate Keeper, who re- peatedly sald ‘he has not passed through this gate’ “When I attempted to interview Miss Howard, Mr. Rockefelle:’s secretary, she sald: “*You ned not ask me any questions, as I will not answer you." “Deputy Schwenter was stationed “updithe front porch of the Rockefel- Jer home with instructions to remain there indefinitely and occasionally ta waik about the grounds. A New York dispatch says: While Marshal Hénkel and his deputies were seeking everywhere for John D. Rocke feller they were equally zealous in their efforts ta serve William Rocke- feller, a brother of John D., with a subpena requiring his presence before Judge Landis in Chicago July 6. Mar shal Henkel declares that Willlam Rockefeller is as difficult to serve as is bis brother. A report has ft that William Rockefeller is in Rome; and another report has him sojourning in the south of France, while still an- other states he Is in tlie Adirondacks, NEGRO RETAINS HIS SEAT. Legislative Committee So Decides, Af- ter an Investigation. W. H. Rogers, the negro member of the Georgia house of representatives from McIntosh county, will retain his seat, & “ By the unanimous resolution of the committee on privileges and elections which sat on the contest instituted for the seat by George E, Atwood for four hours Tuesday afternoon this de- cision was reached. The following res- olution was unanimously passed: “Resolved, That under the law and evidence, the sitting member is em titled to his seat.” a ~ YOUR MONEY Back iF, ' No Two-Cent Tickets Sold in Virginiar But Rebate Receipts Are Given. None of the railroad ticket offices in Norfolk, Va, were selling 2-cent mileage passenger tickets Monday in compliance with an order of the state corporation cowmission putting a 2. cent passenger rate in effect on ang atter July 1. However, tickets with a receipt rebate thereon were sold. It a 2-<cent law is declared to be con. -stitutional, the holders of these rebate seceipts will recelre refunds _ DRIFT OF HAYWOOD CASE Defense Busily Engaged in Hammer Ing Orchard’s Testimony—Several + New Witnesses Called to Stand, o New Witnesses Valled to vlan. ‘The foundation latd by the testimony of the former stenographer of the Pin- kerton ‘agency, who, to use his own words, “gave back to the. rightful owners” the secrets entrusted to him lby his employers were used in the Haywood trial at Boise, Tuesday, and on it will be built the structure by which the defense hopes to convince the ‘jury and the public that there has been a widespread conspiracy to wreck the Western Federation and Saaese tts officers of murder. Judge Wood has ruled that the de- fense may go into this conspiracy only so' far as its ramifications extend in the states of Colorado and Idaho. Counsel for the defense, however, state that they can show a conspiracy extending through many states of the unjon and intended to affect union la-, bor everywhere, and they propose to try to get the whole thing before the jury. ‘The counsel for the prosecution say that while they made no objection to the introduction of Pinkerton reports affecting the Colorado strike, and even asked for more, the matter Intro-| duced so far has failed to show that the Pinkertons were employed or re- talned by the Mine Owners or the Cit- {zens' Alliance of Cutorado, Consequently, the foundation not having been lald for the conspiracy which the defense has alleged, they will resist any further introduction of any similar evidence as to conspiracy in any other state. The defense at Tuesday's session of court, continued the Colorado story, in which Orchard told af the proposal to blowupa nonunion boarding house at Globeville, just outside of Denver. In this he incriminated a number of people. Max Malich, Joe Mehlict, and Billy Aikman, three of the men variously im- plicated in alleged misconduct at Globeville, Denver and Cripple Creek, on the word of Harry Orchard, wen: on the stand as witnesses for Haywood and made denial of Orchard’s testi mony. Malich swore that Orchard, and not he, suggested the Inhuman plot of dynamiting a boarding house full of non-union smelter men at Globe ville, and that Orchard originated the! idea of Killlug William McDonald, one| of Malich's business vivals. He said he bad been burned out by some mys:! terlous acid thrown into hls house by an unknown hand, but denied that this acid was really “Pettlboue dope” that had been left in the room by Steve Adams and Annie Adams, He aic| denied that “Pettibone dope” had been used in burning his store, and testl-| fied that he was at his ranch when the fire occurred. He also swore that Orchard had told him that but for Governor Steunenberg he would be rich, and that he intended to” kill Steunenbers. Meblct and Aikman, who followed Mallch, also made positive and circum- stantial dental of all the things Orch- ard swore they did with him. Ah unusual feature was contributed by the appearance as a witness for the defense of E, L. MePartland, a brother of Detective E. L. McPartland, who Worked up the case agalnst Hay-| wood, Moyer and Pettibone and ob-! tained Orchard’s confession, | This McParland is a “shoemaker at Manitou, and he came to tell that while he was following his peaceful craft at Victor during the strike, he was unceremoniously taken from his place by the military, thrust into the “bull pen” and then‘ deported | ee er a a ica Macon Collector Found Hanging in the Woods, Was Murdered. Julia Kinley, a white woman, is al- leged to be the central figure in the charges of murder which the Macon, Ga, city detectives and deputies have been working upon afice the strange death’ of Arthur Dyche in the woods two weks ago, has ben lodged in the clty barracks and with her a men named H. B. Evans was also detained. “PRISONERS” ARE RE-ELECTED. Moyer and Haywood Remain Officials of Federation of Miners. Charles H. Moyer was reelected as President and W. D, Haywood as sec- Tetary-treasurer of the Western Fed- eration of Miners by the convention in Denver, Col, Tuesday, although Doth are at present imprisoned on the charge of complicity in'the murder of Governor Steunenberg. ~* j LOVING ACQUITTED Unwritten Law Saves Slayer of Daughter's Assailant. VERDICT SOON REACHED fury Could Not Resist Tuching Ap peals of Defendant's Attorneys for Honor of Women and Their Finding Was Unanimous, After being in the jury room thirty minutes the jury, at Houston, Va., Sat. urday evening, returned a verdict of “not guilty” ih the case of former Judge William G. Loving of Nelson county, and manager of the Virginia estate of Thomas F. Ryau, who was on trial for a week before the circuit fe of Halifax,,Judge Willlam, R. Barksdale presiding, for the murder pt Theodore Estes, eon of Sheritt M. K. Estes of Nelson county. Judge Loving shot and killed young Estes on April 22, at Oak Ridge, fol- Jowing a bugsy ride Estes had taken ‘with the judge's daughter, Miss Ellz- abeth Loving, who had told her father that her escort had drugged and as- saulted her, The verdict of acquittal was read by Foreman B. S. McCraw. Judge Barksdale thanked the jurors for the attendance upon the court at great sacrifice, He declared that ho believed the verdict? was in accordance with the ¢oisclentious views of the Jury. The last day of the trial was spent in argument, the forenoon session be- ing taken up by counsel for the de- fense, and the closing speech for tho ‘prosecution being made in the after- noon by Commonwealth Attorney Bouldin. Attorneys Barksdale, Moore and Lee, for the defense, spoke prac- tically along the same lines. They pleaded for acquittal on the grounds that Judge Loving was insane at the time he killed Estes, having lost cos- trol of himself upon hearing the story of the ruin of -his daughter, The real basis of the argument of the defense, however, was the “unwrit- ten law,” They spoke of the preser- lion of the sanctity of Virginia hemes, declaring that any man who invaded the threshold and spoiled a woman had forfeited his claim on so- ciety. On this point, Mr. Moore said: “You would not raise the moral standard or elevate the womanhood of Virginia by conviction, Don't put the badge of dishonor on him by sending htm to the penitentiary. Don’t let it Zo out to the world that a jury of Vir- ginia gentlemen put the felon’s stripes on a Virginia gentleman.” ‘Mr. Lee appealed strongly to the sympathies of the jury with both. words and tears. He said: “Sweep from Virginia the chaste homes of the citizens, and what re- maing of the state? The purity and the dignity of our homes is the sweet- est thing in life in Virginia. It is the gift of God. When one invades our homes, he strikes society and the body politic the ieadlest blow. You all know how love for your wife and how the smile of a daughter can bring out from your nature the best there is in it. THREE SWING FROM GALLOWS, Convicts Who Mufdered Prison Guard Drop Together from Same Platform. Harry Vaugltan and Edward Ray- mond, convicts sentenced to the pent- tentlary frpm St. Louis, and George Ryan, a convict sentenced from Kan- sas City, were hanged in the county fail at Jefferson City, Mo, for the kdiling of Prison Guard John Clay during a concerted “attempt to escape from te penitentiary on the afternoon of November 24, 1904. The three were hanged at the same moment. No statement was made trom the scaffold. FIRST PROTEST REGISTERED. Legislature Memorialized by Atlanta Councit Anent Proaibition Bill. A red:hot prohibition discussion was provoked in the Atlanta clty couneil Monday on the introduction of resolu- tions protesting against the passage of a state prohibition bill and memo- rialinzing the legislature to defeat the measure. A motion to table was defeatea by the vote of 6 to 12, a later motion to refer to a’ committee being lost by the vote of 6 ayes and 13 noes, the vote upon its 42a] adoption being 13 ayes and 6 noes. a RAILROAD IS SOLD Central of Georgia Holdings Placed in New Hands. NO CHANGE IN POLICY Varying Rumors Finally “Sates In Fact That Deal Was Carried | Through Status Is as po... Mystifying, a de 4 4 0 gg See Pdes Rumors which have been freely cireu- lated for the past few days have final- | ly, culminated in the definite announce- /ment that the controlling interest in ‘the Centrai of Georgia railway has been sold, or transferred, to Oakleigh Thorne, president of the Trust Com- pany ot America, and Marsden J. Per ry, president of the Union Trust com- pany of Providence, R. I. According to New York dispatches the Southern arranged the transfer. It was formally announced Thursday by Adrian H. Joline, chairman of the Richmond ‘Terminal reorganization committee, that the committee has sold to Thorne and Perry all the capital stock of the Central owned by sald committee, and which was recelved by that committee in 1894-5 upon the con- summation of the Richmond Terminal reorganization, and after the reorgan- ization of the Georgia Central Rail- road and Banking company. The net proceeds of the sale are to be pald over to the Southern Rail- way company, which, as stated in the testimony given by the late President Spencer and now on file at Macon, was entitled to the financial benefit of any sale of the stock, though it did not as- sume to control the railroad, As part of thelr purchase Messra. Thorne and Perry have declared their purpose to be to operate and to de velop the system as an independent one far the benefit of its stockholders and the ‘public served thereby, and, accordingly, they will, for at least two years, continue to hold sixty per cent of the stock, The control of the Central will even. tually pass to the Rock Island-Frisco Interests, if predictions made in rail- road circles prove well founded. It is said that Messrs. Therne and Perry purchased the road with an un-, derstanding between themselves and the Rock Island interests that formal control-should pass to the St. Louis and San Francisco after the expira- tion of the two years during which the present holders of the road have agreed.to kcep it as an independent line. : -Mr. Thorne would neither confirm’ nor deny the repor:. People could draw what inference they would, he sald, It was pointed out that close relations have existed between Mr. Thorne and B. F. Yoakum, who is the guiding spir- it in the affairs of the Rock Island- Frisco system. Mr. Yoakum fs a dl- rector in the Trust Company of Amer- ica of which Mr. Thorne is president, and in other ways Mr. Thorne and Mr, Yoakum haye co-operated in busi- ness undertakings. At the session of. the directors of the Central of Georgia in Macon a few days ago, Charles Steele resigned as ja member of the board. George M. Havel resigned last fall and another vacancy Was created by the death of Samuel Spencer, These three vacancies were filled by the election of M. J. Perry, W. F, Sheehan and Oaklelgh Thorne. Following this meeting President Hanson said that the sale of the road | would not mean any change In its of- ficers and that he would remain as president. He sald that the same poll- | cies would prevail and all pains would | be taken to keep the property abreast of the times. The operations of the road will be investigated by the new officers who | are expected to come south Ip the very near future, VENGEANCE 18 CABRERA’S. Guatemalan President is Rounding Up His Host of Enemies. Word reached Mexico City that President Cabrera of Guatemala has caused the arrest of 160 citizens of that republic on the charge of alleged complicity in the recent attempt to assassinate him. All were thrown into prison and later huddled into squads of 20 and tried in groups, Many have been gentenced,to death. Among the prisoners are some of the most wealthy and prominent men in the re- public. ‘AS STRICT UNION MINERS Pinkerton Detectives Posed In Order to Secure Evidence Against Western Labor Federation, - In court at Bolse Monday, Morris Friedman, the young Russian stenog-. rapher, who left the employ of the Plukerton agency at Denver to” write a book In which he published a cer- tain cprrespondence of the ageacy that Passed through his hands, was egain the principal figure at the Steun- enberg murder trial. More than half of the court's day was occupied in reading te the jury copies of the docu- ment which Friedman took from the Pinkerton records. These were chiefly dally reports,of secret agents operat- ing as sples among the unions and unfon men at Cripple Creek, Victor, Globeville, Colorado City, Trinidad and Denver show a complete surveillance of the Western Federation of Miners and United Mine Workers of America during the labor troubles in Colorado in 1903-04. Pinkerton men sat in the federation convention in Denver in 1904, reporting all proceedings. None of the reports that were pro- duced by Friedman and read to the jury by Clarence Darrow contained other than general teferences to the collateral issues-of the trial, but they were offered in substantiation of the counter-claim of the defense that the Pinkerton agency conspired for the de- struction of the Western Federation of Miners and the lives of its leaders. The prosecution offered no opposi- tion to any feature of Friedman’s tes- Unmony and no objection to the intro- duction of any one of the documents that the defense obtained through him, and when Friedman was handed over for cross-examination endeavored to ascertain if Friedman had any more reports or letters bearing on the gen- eral issue. . It attackea Friedman on the ground that he nad played the Pinkertons false, had violated his pledge to them and had stolen the documents which he produced, but the witness would not admit that he had stolen the pa- pers aud would not allow Senator Bo- rah to call him a “Pinkerton.” He insisted that 1t was not stealing to take information that had been ob- tained by fraud and deceit of secret service men and declared that his pur- pose in which he informed the people of the methods of the agency fully Jus:ifled anything that he had done. He said that if he.had known that this trial was coming up he would have taken more letters and reports, Sen- ator Borah pressed him to tell’ just what records there were in the Pin- kerton office at Denver bearing direct- ly on this case, and while the witness sald he coulg not tell him of any par- ticular one, he remembered many let ters written by Detective McPartland, in which all manner of crimes were laid at the door ot-the Western Fed- eration of Miners. Another interesting witness was Jas, L Wallace, an attorney of Cripple Creek, who served with the militia, first as a private and then as a lieu- tenant during the strike of 1903-04. He related several instances?as tending to show the misuse of the powers of the militia by the mine owners; gave the criminal records of some of the gua fighters imported by the mine owners; told of the working of the card system; recited the circumstanc- es connected with the looting of the union stores and a newspaper office. JAPS READY TO SNEAK IN. Four Thousand in Mexico Awaiting Chance to Stip Over Line, Immigration officials at San Anto- nio have received information that there are four thousand Japanese in Mexico awaiting a chance to slip Into the United States. ‘The news comes from the construction camps on the Manzanillo extension of the Central railroad. Already eight hundred Jap- anese faborers have left the work with the Intention of entering the United States. ui : . PEACE BY ARBITRATION -- Hague Conference, All the delegates to the peace con- ference at The Hague agreo that the first important sitting will deat with arbitration, which many of the pow- ers, chiefly the United States, desire’ to strengthen to such a polnt as to make it become an institution that will gradually lead to the abolition of war among Nations, as confidence in the Justice of ordinary courts grad- ually led to the abolition of dueling among citizens, AT HANDS OF MOB White Man is Sent to Doom for Heinous Crime. © RAPED STEP DAUGHTER Lynching i Pulled Off at Dalton, Ga, in Orderly Manner by Enraged Cit- , _] izens—Victim Made Fa, - Confession. 4 Dock Posey, a white man, who had confessed to outraging his nine-year ola stepdaughter, was lynched at Dal- ton, Ga,, between 1 and 2 o'clock Mon- day morning. Shortly after 1 o'clock, a quiet but determined crowd of twenty-five men marched in an orderly manner to the county jail and demanded Posey. Covered by guns in the hands of every member of the crowd Jailor Brit- ton was compelled to surrender the keys. Entering the fail, the crowd went to the cell occupied by Posey, se~ cured him, placed him in a bugsy and drove to the Gordon street viaduct ‘and hung him to a crossbeam. There was absolutely no contusion in the crowd. Marching in duble file, they collected several policemen and forced them to accompany them. Not a single shot was fired, and Posey was lett hanging for the citizens to find! Monday morning. at 6:20, The body; Was cut down, Before the hanging, tbe prisoner was asked if he committed the crime, and why he did it, He answered that he was guilty, but that he did not in- tend to harm the girl. At this the crowd hooted atd with the words, “Die with a Ue In your mouth,".the buggy was driven from under him and. he was left swaying to and fro to slowly choke to death, On the way to the viaduct, Posey, asked the crowd to pray for him, and! he met his fate without a slugle out- ery. The crime struck the entire city; with horror. Never before had thera beon. such an outrage in the county as that committed by Posey. After out- raging the young girl, he himeelt car- tied her to Dalton and accused an- other man of the outrage. The witz of Poséy asserts that Just the week before an attempt was made to outrage her older daughter by Po- sey,,but nothing was done at the time. The young victim Is in a very criti- cal condition, but hopes are held out for her ultimaterecovery. Posey had been living in the county only one week, having moved from Walker county, He Ived in one of the section houses at Rocky Face. At 11 o'clock Saturday morning, Po- sey arrived In Dalton with his young victim and went to the office of Dr. Wood. The physiclan was out of his office, so the two immediately went to. the office of Dr. J. S. Rollins, who, on making an examination and seeing the critical condition of his patient, quick- ly summoned Drs. McAfee and Erwin, Officers were notified, and Posey was taken to the Whitfleld county jail, where he was locked in the murderer's cell, At first he denied his guilt, but Sunday morning, just before being lynched he made 2 complete confes- sion, telling exactly how the deed was accomplished. . at As soon as the young girl was able to talk, she said that her stepfather had abused her, 4 COTTON IN LOW CONDITION, Most Discouraging for Month of July $o Far on Record.

We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating that their tires have only been pumped once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly falls when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction.

The jury in the Southern Bank and Trust company case at Fort Smith, Ark., Saturday afternoon returned a verdict of guilty of using the mails to defraud against C. C. Waller, president, of Texas; F. Demere Letton, of Pittsburg, Pa., vice president; Ed Hunt, assistant cashier, and J. M. Langston, Jr., director. The jury was out twenty-four hours. The maximum penalty is a fine of $1,000 and imprisonment for three years. 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. MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR SMITH New Chief Executive Expresses Optimistic Views and Recommends Legislation Along Many Lines. M. B. HON. HOKE SMITH. GEORGIA'S NEW GOVERNOR. Gentlemen of the Legislature and Fellow Citizens: I take the oath of office with the purpose, God helping and directing me, to perform every duty the office permits in the interest of the masses of the people. But there are certain duties which have been specifically placed upon me. They have been voiced by the voters at the ballot box. They have been declared by their representatives at the Democratic convention. I accept office under solemn direction by the people to carry out the platform pledges. We must not be led away to other tasks until our specific pledges to the people have been performed. A government falls to reach its highest sphere if it does not protect the right of property, and at the same time constantly broaden opportunities for mental, moral and financial growth to the less fortunate. A government by the people furnishes the only hope for such a result. To make it sure, ballot boxes must be pure, and legislative halls must be free from the influence of predatory wealth. HON. HOKE SMITH, Every frank man admits that in national and state legislation more power has been exercised by the great corporations than has been consistent with the full protection of popular rights. The time has come when it is necessary to determine whether certain favored interests or the state shall rule. Suppress Lobbyists. What has been told of hired political agents infesting legislative halls is no idle story. They have been the curse of national legislation; their influence for evil has been felt in nearly every state, and Georgia has been no exception to the rule. The great body of the people interested in legislative matters are busy at home with their daily labors. The hired political agent has been permitted to press his master's interest, not only by using his own personal influence, but by bringing from different parts of the state his little strikers to sit around hotels, and present in the presence of members of the legislature, with professed impartiality, what he terms the wishes of the people, while at the same time, secretly, he is hired to defeat their interests. I believe that you will pass legislation to make it a crime for an attorney or agent, hired to support or oppose legislation, to discuss his client's interest in the presence of those who are to vote upon it, except where that discussion is at a public hearing or with members of the legislature officially named for conference. The proposed legislation, also, requires that any one employed to support or oppose a legislative measure must promptly enter an appearance with the Secretary of State in a book to be kept open to the public, describ- ing the nature of his employment. To require the entray of such an appearance is not a hardship. It is no reflection upon the honorable attorney. If his work is simply by argument to present the merits of his side, there can be no objection to his doing so than for film to make an argument before the Supreme Court of the State, and he should welcome the publicity of his employment. If he seeks to influence legislation by political pull, he should be suppressed. Stop Free Passes. I urge also the passage of a bill which will put an end to the free pass system between local points in Georgia. This practice began, and was followed for a long time, with but few harmful results. It has grown to be a crying evil. It has become a means of petty political bribery. Our common carriers have no right to charge for transportation more than a sum reasonably sufficient to pay them for their services. If some ride free, those who pay must be charged sufficient rates to cover the legitimate cost of their transportation and the passage of the free pass holders. GEORGIA'S NEW GOVERNOR. The time has come when all should pay less for transportation. The hired political agent and the free pass system are twin evils. Within a few days you can make their existence impossible in Georgia. If these laws are promptly passed, we may expect from throughout the state words of confidence and praise, inspiring us to further action in behalf of better government. Money In Politics and Clean Elections. The best results from popular government can only be had where the individual voter approaches the ballot box influenced alone by a patriotic purpose to serve his county, his state and his nation. One of the evils which has polluted elections and debauched voters has been political contributions by the great corporations and special interests. Their money has been given not to advance principles, but to debauche character and defeat popular rights. First the voters are to be bought for the candidate, and then the officeholder is to be owned because the corporation bought the voters for him. Every time money is used to buy a vote, or to hire a striker at the polls, true ideals of popular government are overthrown, and somewhere the people themselves will suffer from it. Make it a crime for a corporation or special interest to contribute money to politics. Make it a crime to buy a voter or hire a striker at the polls. Place upon every candidate the duty of showing, under oath, a detailed statement of what he spent, how he spent it and where the money came from. With these three provisions enacted into law, a great step forward will be made. Then let us make elections so clean in Georgia that other states, seeing our good works, may follow our example; Constitutional Amendment Fixing Franchise Standard. I realize how difficult it will be to reach the standard for which I plead when a great number of qualified voters are hopelessly ignorant and purchaseable. The difficulty is greatly increased when a class of voters has for generations inherited incapacity, and must transmit the same incapacity for generations to come. I favor an amendment to the constitution of the State which will fix a new standard for the elective franchise. The proposed constitutional amendment will be before you. With an oath-fresh upon my lips to support the Constitution of the United States, I favor the amendment. There is no restriction upon the right of a state to fix the qualifications of those who may vote, except the provision of the Constitution of the United States, which declares that "the right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or any State, on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." I have no doubt that the amendment proposed is entirely free from constitutional objection. It neither denies nor abridges the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. It only fixes certain standards which must be reached by every citizen of the United States before he can become an elector in Georgia. Regulate Primaries by Law. Popular government can only exist as a substantial reality where the voters are given a full opportunity to express their convictions at the ballot box. In our state it is especially important that this opportunity should be given in our primaries. By common consent, an overwhelming majority of the people accept the verdict of the primary as conclusive. If machine politicians are allowed to manipulate either the time or manner of holding primaries the will of the people can be defeated, and the schemes of the machine may be substituted for popular government. A common dodge is to call a primary long before an election when the issues are not before the people. No primary should be permitted more than sixty days before the election. Vice Companies. Our pledges made to the people covered legislation to promote pure popular government, and also legislation upon the great question of protecting the rights of the people in their relations with common carriers and public service corporations. Railroad corporations and public service companies are monopolistic in their nature. It is impossible for the ordinary rule of competition to protect the rights of the public in their dealings with such companies. Railroad corporations and public service corporations are given special privileges primarily that the people disconnected with those companies may be benefited. It is especially important at this time when many are ready to transfer all control to the national government that the state show capacity to meet its part of the responsibility. Increase Power of Commission. Increase Power of Commission. The commission should require for passengers reasonable rates and proper schedules and depot accommodations. Power must be given the commission to prevent the issue, of watered stocks and bonds, and to require the money obtained from stock and bond issues invested in the properties of the corporations issuing them. The commission must be given power to protect the public in every relation where they should be served by transportation companies. While the rates charged for freight and passenger transportation should be controlled, the character of service given is of the utmost importance. The action of the railroad commission takes the place of an act of the legislature of the State of Georgia and becomes the solemn decision of the State, through its duly constituted authority. It is a serious proposition for a judge to assume the province of setting up his judgment against such a finding. When the courts realize the responsibility which they assume by interfering through restraining orders with the action of the state, the officers of railroad companies will realize the respect due to the state, and will present their views to the railroad commission, and conferences will be followed by harmonious relations. The railroad commission should be reasonable and just to the railroads, but if the railroads persist in an attitude of stubborn litigiousness, they can hardly expect a continuation of gifts from the state. If the railroads are injured by resisting the authority of the state, if they suffer in consequence, the fault will rest upon their misguided office-holders, and must not be chargeable to the State of Georgia. Duty of Governor. I believe it the part of wisdom to allow your chief executive to carry a full share of responsibility for the work of the commission. This was the plan of the original bill, and it is the plan of the proposed law. If the railroads continue the policy of appealing to the courts when the commission acts, the state must-resist these suits with just as much force and power as the railroad companies bring to their support. It is utterly impossible for the attorney general to meet alone the swarm of lawyers and hosts of witnesses that will be brought forward by the transportation companies and public service companies when litigation is precipitated. We must give to the attorney general and counsel associated with him every possible aid. We must, if necessary, employ experts to meet the railroad experts. I believe it to be part of the duty of the governor to render all possible assistance in supporting decisions of the commission. A railroad commissioner who cannot unite with his associates in a vigorous resistance to any attack made upon the commission's findings owes it to the state to retire from the position which he holds. The law authorizes the governor to suspend a commissioner. A suspension by the governor in no sense involves the idea that the commissioner has committed an impeachable offense. Western and Atlantic Extension. I commend this suggestion to your careful consideration. I believe the ownership of the State Road to be a thing of great value to the people of Georgia, not only on account of its capacity to produce an income, but on account of the influence it may have upon the future regulation of transportation questions. If it can be extended to the sea at one or more points, I have no doubt the investment would be profitable, and its value to the people as a whole greatly increased. I trust that you may be able to present a satisfactory plan for the completion of the road. Railroad Employees. The State owes a duty to the faithful men who discharge the labor for railroad and public service companies. I agree with the view expressed by President Roosevelt that it is unjust when an employee loses limb or life to place the entire loss upon him or his family, in the class of cases called mere accidents. Especially is it unjust to free the corporation from liability in those cases defended upon the ground that the employee knew of the negligence of the company and assumed the risk of such negligence. An employee may know of the existence of a defect, known also to his superior officer. He cannot afford to quit work nor can the public afford to have him quit. To deprive him in case of injury of the right to recover is a rule so harsh that it is only defended upon the theory of precedent. In some states the courts are breaking away from this precedent. In some states the courts are being relieved of the precedent by statute. This severe rule has received approval In Section 2612 of the Code of 1895. I trust that by statute this wrong may be stopped and that this section of the Code of Georgia may be repealed. This extreme rule is peculiar to Georgia. I recommend that it be changed, and that only negligence, which amounts to lack of ordinary care, be permitted to defeat recovery by an employee. Liquor Legislation. For a long time the State of Georgia has adhered to the policy of local option applied to the sale of liquor. All restrictive liquor laws arouse intense feeling. As the enforcemen of the laws depends largely upon the sentiment in the counties in which they are to be enforced, we have permitted the voters of each county to decide what should be the policy of their county. While my sympathies in a local election are with those who oppose the sale of liquor, for the present, local option may furnish the best plan for controlling the liquor traffic. But after the people of a county vote liquor out, it is not fair to permit the daily in-pouring of liquors by jug. trains. Our platform demands that the dry counties of Georgia be kept dry. I cordially favor legislation to accomplish this result, and I believe it possible to restrain to a great extent the use of liquors shipped from outside the state. I suggest also the propriety of making the operation of a "blind tiger" a felony. Education. The chief object of government should be to prevent special privileges and to give to all equal rights and opportunities. To this the men and women of Georgia are entitled, and you are preparing legislation which insures it to them. The relation of the State to the children goes much further. It is the duty of the State to see that the children are given an opportunity for all preparation-which their probable lifework requires. Education from books alone is not always of much value. It should be accompanied with practical training, having in view the future of the child. Let me refer to the negro children in this connection. Any plan for the negroes which falls to recognize the difference between the white and black races will fall. The honest student of history knows that the negro had full opportunity for generations to develop before the days of slavery; that the negro race was improved by slavery, and that the majority of the negroes in this state have ceased to improve since slavery. Few have been helped by learning from books. All have been helped who have been taught or made to work. It is not the difference of environ- ment; it is the difference of race—deep-seated, inherited for generations and generations through hundreds of years. The large majority of negroes are incapable of anything but manual labor, and many taught from books spurn labor and live in idleness. Few negroes are willing to work beyond the procurement of the hardest necessities of life. The negro child should be taught manual labor and how to live. The negro teacher should be selected less by book than by character of examinations. The negro school to be useful needs less books and more work: I favor a complete change in the examination of teachers for the negro schools, and for them a different plan of management; I would have the schools help the negro—not injure him. I will not discuss the subject more fully at present, but I wish to be distinctly understood. I seek the 'intelligent treatment of the negro, and to that end radical difference between the white and negro races must be kept in view. Racial differences cannot be overcome by misguided philanthropists. They should not be disregarded, by us, however much criticism may come from any source upon us. Respect the Law. But no one should suppose that superiority justifies cruelty. While every precaution should be made to prevent crime, while the white men of the various localities of the state should know and apprehend any idle, unidentified negro who appears in a locality, punishment for crime belongs to the law. The man who breaks the law to punish a criminal is himself a criminal, and I ask the people of the state to help me preserve law and order. There is no place in Georgia for riots and mobs. It is the duty of the governor to exhaust the power of his office to prevent lynching, and I shall perform this duty. I go further. In full knowledge of the superiority of the white race, I recognize the duty of the white man to be absolutely just, yet, he should be kind to the negro. The white man should exercise a controlling direction tempered with kindness over the negro. White Children. The white children of Georgia are prepared for the highest development; but I do not mean by this that they will necessarily obtain it through literary and classical studies. For them it is at this time most important to improve the manual training in agricultural schools, and the rural schools. With a view to progress, I ask you to consider the unorganized condition of the educational work of Georgia. University and Branches. The Constitution of the State of Georgia limits the right of taxation for educational purposes to the University of Georgia, and to elementary branches of an English education. As a result of this provision, the School of Technology, the State College of Agriculture, the State Normal College, the Georgia Normal and Industrial and Mechanical College at Dahlonega, the eleven District Agricultural Schools and the Georgia Industrial School for Negroes are classed as branches of the University. The University proper is the classical college at Athens. This college has a board of trustees, called the Trustees of the University. The branches have each separate boards of trustees, but are also placed under the Trustees of the University, who are trustees primarily of the classical college at Athens, one of the divisions of the University. Ought not these separate institutions be freed from the control of the trustees who are especially charged with the responsibility for the classical college at Athens? One way to accomplish this result would be by a constitutional amendment, giving the legislature the right to tax directly, without reference to the University, for the support of these various institutions. Another would be to make the trustees of the classical college at Athens, termed the University Trustees, a local board for that Institution just as each of the other boards is a local board for a particular institution. Then create a new board, termed Regents of the University, connected with no local institution, but having general supervision over all the branches of the University. The necessity for action upon one of these two lines is the greater since the Stato College of Agriculture has been located in Athens. I am deeply interested in this college. College of Agriculture. For years there has been nominally a State College of Agriculture, but entirely dwarfed by the University proper. I do not approve the location of the Agricultural College at Athens.. I thought it should have been placed at Griffin with the Experiment Station, but the location has been made. The grounds_purchased, through the liberality of Mr. Peabody, are ample, and splendidly suited for the work, and the contract has been let for buildings which will cost over $90,000. I am convinced that it is impracticable to conduct this college successfully with a local board under the supervision of the trustees whose work primarily has connection with the University proper, or the classical branch of the University. I cannot claim to have matured a plan of reorganization to which I am entirely wedded, but a change will help the University, and make the College of Agriculture. As the State College of Agriculture is now permanently located in Athens, a question for serious consideration is should not the Experimental Station be moved to it? The land of south Georgia is so different from that of north and middle Georgia, that I urge the establishment of a branch Experiment Station in South Georgia along side of one of our Agricultural Schools or else by a South Georgia Normal School. The State College of Agriculture should not be illimited in its work to students at Athens. It should conduct extension work all over the state by exhibits and meetings, at which may gather those already engaged in farming, that the results of the experiments may at once be available to the people. From this college, coupled with the Experiment Station, more immediate returns can be obtained for the state than from any other institution. The School of Technology is already a great success, and must be supported. Normal Work. Good normal work is being done at Athens and at Milledgeville. You cannot have good common schools unless you have ample normal facilities. The normal school work of Georgia should be extended and improved. It might be well to make the school at Dahlonega and the school at Milledgeville distinctly normal schools, and add also a fourth school in South Georgia. District Agricultural Schools. District Agricultural Schools. The eleven District Agricultural Schools form a large undertaking. It will be difficult to find suitable instructors prepared for the practical work to be done in these schools. It would have been easier to start with a few, and increase the number of schools as we were prepared better to handle them, but the eleven have been begun, and now the thing for us to do is, recognizing the difficulty that confronts us, manfully to struggle for their complete success. I believe the money will be ready to meet their legitimate expenses, and they will receive from me loyal and zealous support. The Rural Schools. The common school system of Georgia finds at its head a State School Commission with a Board of Education not composed of educators, and giving little direction to the work. I cordially commend the recommendation of the teachers of Georgia that a Board of Education should be created at the head of our common school system for the state, composed of men trained as educators, men who understand the wants of the common schools, and who will help improve them. In the cities and towns our common schools are nearly everywhere under the municipal government. Our rural schools are without this direction. The rural schools of each county in the State will depend largely for their success upon the work of the County School Commissioner. He should be a trained teacher. He should be prepared to train the teachers under him. He should give his entire time to the work, and he paid enough to afford to do so. I do not mean to urge that all of the County School Commissioners who are not trained teachers should be dropped, but I believe that trained teachers should be elected County School Commissioners as rapidly as possible. It is absolutely necessary that the State should train the teachers for the rural schools. Into the Rural Schools must be introduced nature study, and primary agriculture. This work to be successfully conducted must receive aid from the State, first, by adding agricultural departments to every Normal School in the State in which the future teacher may be taught how to teach primary agriculture, and then direction in the shape of leaflets and pamphlets must issue from the State College of Agriculture, and be distributed among the rural school teachers, from time to time, to aid and guide them in their work. Train the White Children to Meet Life's Responsibilities. I long to see manual training introduced into the schools of the cities and towns in the state. The great educational work which Georgia should do for her children is not that they may be able to read and loaf, but that they may be able to think and act. We must train the boys and girls of Georgia so that they can meet the responsibilities of life, so that they can use the resources which God has given us, so that they can surround themselves with comfort and build the state for themselves and their children. There are other subjects which I would be pleased to discuss, but I desire to raise no new unnecessary issues at present. The reforms with which we are specially charged are entitled to first consideration. To them immediately we will give our best thought with the earnest purpose to serve those who placed us here to represent them. Ours is a great State. The people make the state. To receive their confidence is an inspiration. We will lay aside all other plans, and, moved by a great unselfish love, we will serve the Georgians of today and the children who must make Georgia of the future. May God help us to meet the responsibilities which are upon us. re PN ee Ee Re ne TS OS ee me ere EN oer eNO eg eNO SERRA LEE Se (ommnneen Ree ge mae SE ee ee oo 3 re 1 . = & .

FOR THE FAIR A great many of the mysterious headaches with which women are afflicted must be put down to overstrained eyes; and this kind of headache can only be cured by giving the eyes a thorough rest, and when a cure has been effected great care in the use of the eyes in future is indispensable. Reading, writing or sewing in a dim and flickering light must be given up, and the common practice of attempting to read in a jolting train or omnibus must also be discarded. The eyes should never be used too long at a time, say Woman's Life, and when muc eye work is necessary brief rests and bathings in hot water should be resorted to, if the dreaded headache is to be kept at a distance. President's Wife in Russet. Mrs. Roosevelt has yielded to the golden brown mode, and her latest evening gown is of an exquisite bronze satin, which shimmers in gaslight like the rays of the setting sun. It is embellished with heavy Oriental lace with the design outlined in golden and gemmed threads, and a most artistic touch is a cluster of autumn leaves, merely fliecked with jewels, which make a half chaplet for the hair. Bronze slippers with a big tuscan gold buckle are just the thing for such a toilet. Mrs. Roosevelt wore this gown at her now famous musicale, at which the Indian opera "Poia" was produced, and she never looked more girlish and charming. Another effective costume is of black broadcloth with a cutaway coat and embroidered linen- blouse. The skirt clears the ground by a good three inches and is untrimmed save by three wide bias folds. The coat is lined with grass green satin, and a hint of this color-shows on the collar and cuffs—New York Press. Girl Steeplejack. A girl 17 years of age has accomplished the extraordinary feat of ascending a church spire 260 feet high in the teeth of a gale of wind. The steeplejack had undertaken to ascend the spire of All Saints', Hereford, the highest in the west of England, when Miss Elsia Heins, the daught ter of one of the church wardens, volunteered to accompany him. The ascent was made by means of a steeplejack's cradle. In spite of the force of the wind and the swaying of the cradle, the girl says the steeplejack, was remarkably cool all through the perilous ascent and descent, says Home Chat. Needless to say, the spire had never been ascended before by any except male climbers. The ascent was made on market day, and a great crowd watched in thrilling suspense every movement of the swaying cradle. Traffic was entirely blocked by the crowd until the girl had gained the summit, descended again and reached the ground safe and unharmed. Hoped It Wasn't So. Miss Mary N. Murfree, the novelist, who is known as Charles Egbert Craddock, has had some amusing experiences with the unlettered mountain people of the south. Some of these mountaineers are unbelievably ignorant of either sacred or profane history. On one occasion when Miss Murfree stopped at a wayside house for a glass of water she found a party of old women stolidly engaged, in patching clothes. With characteristic hospitality they asked her to be seated and rest herself before continuing on her journey. A few questions made it plain to Miss Murfree that the old women were hopelessly ignorant, so she told them the story of the crucifixion. As she surmised, there was not a gleam of recognition as she told the simple tale, but its pathos almost moved one of her listeners to tears. "You say they done Him like that fur nothin' morn'n jest tryin' to save 'em?" she asked anxiously. "Yes," said Miss Murfree. The old woman leaned over, stroked the novelist's knee, and said: "Well, stranger, let us hope that hit aln't so."—Philadelphia Record. Peacocks as Garden Pictures Country estates stately enough in many respects, nevertheless seem lacking in an important detail of impressiveness if one does not see two or three lonely peacocks strutting about the lawns or perched in sun-bathed bliss on broad stone balustrades. The beautiful bird somehow is an integral part of the dignity that hovers about rural palaces in other lands, and since American millionaires have borrowed so many other features from the outdoor life of England, France and Italy, it is amazing they have not become fond of the princely fowl from India or Java. What can be more beautiful than to see a really fine peacock in the full spread of his tail against a background of terraced verdure, or sweeping with drooping feathers the snowy surface of a marble court? The peacock hardly can be called a pet. He is too arrogant and suspicious for exchange of affection with humans. But he assuredly is picturesque and as certainly the patrician of the feathered tribe. A free-republic may not care to have aristocrats among its citizens, but there is no reason why the aesthetic should not be carried to the point of exclusiveness among birds and beasts. Undoubtedly the peacock is more desirable in every way than the live stock generally to be seen in the grounds of American country houses, not excepting those of the ultra-rich, ~New York Press. Women as Swimmers. The proverbial endurance of women stands them in good stead when it comes to swimming. That is how it happens that in Australia, which has produced, the champion woman swimmer of the world, Miss Annette Kellermann, it is a common thing for girls to swim five miles, while not one boy in a hundred ever does it. "But sometimes," said Miss Kellermann, in a talk at the New Grand hotel, "a man has as much endurance as a woman, and, with his superior brute strength no woman can hope to compete with him. I don't like to say it," concluded the fair champion, "but it is so." Miss Kellermann does not look as if she could swim any further than any other young woman who has had an opportunity to form aquatic habits. She is very slight in figure, not particularly tall, and in a smart tailored suit of dark red cloth there was nothing about her to sugge st the professional athlete, yet she is the victor of many battles. She has won 40 long distance contests, from one mile up to 30 miles, and she has almost swam the English channel, a feat that no one but Captain Webb has ever accomplished. She might have got all the way across had it not been for seasickness and storm, and she means to try again. "It is like hunting for the North Pole," she said. "You get fascinated with it and always want to try again. But I want to wait awhile, till I get over the horror of the mal-de-mer, for the fear of it helps to bring it on. It's a dreadful experience, though, to swim the channel and a very weird one. You start at I o'clock in the morning amid yells and shrieks and flickering lights. Your eyes are covered with black goggles fastened down with collodion, so that when you take them off at the end of the swim a lot of the skin comes with them. You wear a coating of lanoline about an inch and a half thick all over your body to keep out the cold, and the little swimming costume is as light as possible, leaving the limbs and neck bare, as every atom of weight is a burden. I have only tried to swim the channel twice while the two men who got further than I did have made half a dozen attempts, and once when I swam with them I got further than they did. So I don't think I did so badly." Miss Kellermann says that she just drifted into swimming. She has been perfectly at home in the water ever since she was seven, but until she was 14 swimming shared equally in her favor with riding, tennis and dancing. Then she happened to see Fred Lee swim. "I thought his stroke the most beautiful I had ever seen," she said, "and I began to imitate it. It was the double over-arm stroke, and I have used it ever since, though other swimmers think it only suitable for short swims. Well, in a few weeks I found I could swim better than any girl of my acquaintance. Then I entered a contest and won it, and my career as a swimmer had begun." Miss Kellermann is now looking for new worlds to conquer. She talks of swimming from the Narrows to Coney Island, and will try some of the great rivers. She is greatly desirous also of meeting some American woman swimmer of importance. She is already in love with American women whether they can swim or not. "I think they are absolutely the loveliest in the world," she declared. "They are so well made, and they dress so well and walk so well. In other countries you may see one women in ten who walks well, but here it is 10 in 10."—New York Tribune. Fashion Notes. Ribbed ribbons are growing in favor. A considerable vogue for the Lierre laces has arisen. For the hair is a wreath of laurel leaves and tiny silver apples. A hat worn with a brown taffeta suit was of chestnut colored straw. Pumpkin yellow paper is seen. Burnt umber and bright red sealing wax is used with it. Cherries, peaches, apples, grapes, currants, and even tiny tomatoes are seen on hats. Among the automobile vells, the latest novelty is a silk hood with a chiffon veil attachment. A fad of the moment is mourning paper with a narrow black edge and a monogram in silver. Floral Chile ribbons and velvet embossed broche ribbons have been seen on some of the most expensive headgear. She vogue for long flowing, skirt line, short waists and full flowing sleeves just suits the tea gown and all its companions down to the humble bathrobe. The kimona sleeve in one with the waist, after the manner of the comfortable nightgowns made in that way, is considered a good design for the dress of foulard or other soft silk. Cold feet often get into hot water. He gives nothing who gives only gold. True religion is the root of all reform. The glorious life never seeks its own glory. Many a sin is overcome best by ignoring. Things sublime always are simple at heart. Triumph is a matter of simply trying again. You lose sense as soon as you ignore all sentiment. Polishing the head alone often paralyzes the heart. The ear ready for slander makes the lips ready to slay. The church that lifts the fallen never need fear failure. Sin always is in sympathy with the saints who are sore. The greatest shame of all is to feel none at things unworthy. The church will not make a new world until it is willing to mix with the old one. Worship never can be made perfect by sitting still. Your religion is worth to others what it cost-you. There is little danger. In the discontent with condition that is equaled by discontent with character.—From "Sentence Sermons," in the Chicago Tribune. SCHOOLS FOR AERONAUTS. Germany Has Started One—France Has Long Had Them. The rapid advance of aeronautics is shown in two reports soon to be published by the Department of Commerce and Labor. It appears that both France and Germany are taking great interest in this branch of science, or industry, but while France has had a school of ballooning in operation for about 100 years, Germany is but now starting one. Consul Thomas H. Horton reports that Paul Spiegel, a textile manufacturer, is to be the director of the New Aeronautic School, which will be established at Chemnitz, Saxony, May 1. Herr Spiegel has made 6,000 acents and has delivered many lectures on ballooning. The circular of the school says that "an airship offers to its passengers delights unsurpassed by any other method of traver, and places at the service of the tower of nulture the greatest experiences that life on our planet affords." There have been eight applications for entrance to the school, and only one of them was from Germany. The tuition is placed at $149 a year, payable monthly in advance. In France instruction in ballooning is given by clubs, of which there are four in Paris and five elsewhere, and by the Government, which has two schools. The objects are sport, scientific study, and experiments, and the encouragement of aeronautics. Young men who become proficient in handling balloons and pass examination may, when drawn for military service, enter the d'aerostilts, which is part of the regiment of engineers. Most of the ascensions are made with captive balloons.—New York Times. Increased Use of Motor Cars. M. Faroux, a French statistician, estimates that about 550,000 motor cars have been manufactured in the nine years since the experiments of self-propelled road vehicles first succeeded. These machines sold for more than a billion dollars. Until a year ago, France, the pioneer, led the world in the production of the motor vehicle. Now the United States has taken the lead. According to M. Faroux the United States built 60,000 automobiles in 1906; France, 55,000; England, 28,000; Germany, 22,000; Italy, 19,000, and Belgium, 12,000. In 1901 the United States built only 314 cars and that same year France built 23,711. There are 20,212 automobiles owned within 50 miles of the New York city hall. Cost of London Poor Relief The expenditure on poor relief in London is now four millions sterling a year. During the year ended March 25, 1904, the sums expended by the board of guardians in London exclusive of expenditure out of loans amounted to more than £4,500,000, of which nearly £3,900,000 was derived from the rates. The cost of maintenance of indoor paupers in London per head of the population was in 1906, according to the latest official returns, more than three times the cost per head throughout the rest of England and Wales.—London Daily Telegraph. Reading the Tea Leaves. The accomplishment of reading fortunes and prophesying by tea leaves is becoming, more general among all classes of women. Among those of the cult such an article as a tea strainer is not allowed to interfere with the free issuance of leaves from the spout when the beverage is poured. The leaf diviners sit for hours at a table dissecting their friends and enemies. In all probability this kind of divination came down from Joseph, who read all sorts of things in his cup, even to the interpretation of dreams.—New York Press.

Perhaps the Danes selected the raven for their standard out of feelings of gratitude, for before the invention of the mariner's compass they must have found him extremely useful. The only method of determining whether land was near was to let loose a raven. If the bird saw land he sailed away forever; if he did not he returned to the ship.-London Chronicle. Birds' Curious Nesting Places Curious nesting places of birds have been discovered at Hinton St. George. In the slaughterhouse of Earl Poulet's kennels a pair of corduroy overalls, used when tarring or painting is being done, had been thrown carelessly over a beam, and in one of the legs a robin has built and completed its nest. Within a yard of this an old coat had been similarly suspended, and in a tear in the shoulder lining a wren has completed a perfectly shaped nest. Notwithstanding that the kennel man was frequently going in and out the birds continued their work.—London Chronicle. When Africa Bees Get Angry. The native bee would appear to exhaust its entire stock of sweet nature in storing up honey, and a more spiteful little piece of natural history it would be hard to find. A few days ago a suburban dweller found this out to his cost. A clumsy native upset a hive and immediately the air was full of winged anger. The native was wise and cleared, but a poor unfortunate goat and a few plums, quite innocent of the danger, lay on the plot and were soon covered with the infuriated honey-gatherers. The result was that the goat died and two plugs had to be killed. The rest of the pigs buried themselves in the mud of a handy stream, but it was a few days before they recovered from the furious onslaught. Four fowls were also killed—Rhodesia Herald. How Men Changed Their Color A new State paper says that the Seminole Indians believed that when the Great Spirit created this world he made three men, all fair of skin. He led them to a lake and made them jump in. The first obeyed and came out whiter than when he entered the waters; the second hesitated, going into the lake when the water was a trifle muddy, hence came out copper colored; the third leaped in and came out black. According to the legend the Great Spirit then led them to three bundles, asking each to choose one. The black man chose the heartiest, which was found to contain spades, hoes and other implements used in the performance of manual labor; the second found in his sack a fishing rod, a gun and warlike weapons; the white man chose the sack which contained pen, ink and paper, and this, so the story goes, laid the foundation for his superiority over other races—Kansas City Journal. Catherine of Braganza. Catherine of Braganza, queen consort of Charles II., of Great Britain, was born in Portugal November 25, 1638, and was named in honor of St. Catherine, having been born on that saint's day. When she was two years old her father, the Duke of Braganza, became king of Portugal, assuming the title of Juan IV. When Catherine was but six years old her father made overtures to Charles I. of Great Britain, regarding a marriage between her and the young Prince of Wales, afterwards Charles II. But these negotiations came to naught, and it was not till 17 years later that a marriage-between the infanta and the Prince of Wales was arranged. There was much opposition in England to the king taking a Roman Catholic queen, and he had some difficulty in bringing about a marriage with the Portugal Princess and heiress. But Catherine was the one who called for pity. Her unlucky with Charles brought great unhappiness into her life. He was a monster of infidelity and heaped wrongs, insults and humility upon her helpless shoulders. She bore her wrongs and gross neglect with wonderful patience, only remonstrating when the load became no longer bearable. With wanton prodigality Charles squandered her dower on his favorites, pauperizing not only her but himself. His extravagance knew no bounds till at last it put him so deeply in debt—and disgrace with the tradesmen—that he was denied credit. During the 22 years of her queenhood as wife of Charles II. Catherine knew not one day of unalloyed happiness. As the years went on she became—in a measure—so accustomed to her royal husband's neglect that she tried to assume indifference to it, but all the while her wry—left their in- curable stings. However, she proved to be of a most noble disposition, forgiving Charles on his death bed and truly mourning him, for in spite of his neglect of her she loved him as a mother loves an erring child. After Charles' death Catherine returned to her beloved country, sunny Portugal, where she spent the remainder of her life in sweet quiet and rest. She died of a sudden attack of colic on the night of December 31, 1705.—Birmingham Age-Herald. The House That Jack Built. One day as little Picola sat alone in the nursery, thinking busily and intently at the cupboard door, it suddenly grew bigger and bigger until she found it was the entrance door to a red house. Above the door in letters was the single word—JACK. Picola approached the door and rang the bell. It was opened by a young giraffe, who bowed low with the grace of a ramrod. "Is this the house that Jack built?" asked Picola. "Yes," answered the giraffe, with another bow. "Tell him," said Picola, "that Picola Brown wants to see him very much." The giraffe bowed again and disappeared from the doorway. Presently Jack came forward and seemed very much delighted to see his little guest. "Come with me, Picola," he said; "I'll take you all over the place myself." Picola put her hand in his, and they passed down a long hall until they came to a room where a man and woman sat eating. They were admitted at once. "This," said Jack, "is Jack Spratt and his wife." Jack jumped up, sprang at his wife and scatched the meat she had just taken up. Pulling off the lean part he handed it back to her again, and both fell to eating with great relish. Jack next led to way to a high door, on the top of which man ape sat playing a fiddle. This door was guarded by a large bear, with a gun in its fore paws. Seeing who it was the door opened without the aid of any one, and Picola found herself in a green-pasture. A cow was standing there chewing her cud in a greatly disturbed manner. "Jack," said the cow, "the deception in this world is terrible. You know the maid that milks me, who always appears so forlorn? Well, she was here just a few minutes ago, with a man all tattered and toom, and was as gay and lively as any one; but appearance are very deceiving, very." With this the cow, who could endure these thoughts no longer, gave one bound; up, up she went till she came to the moon. Over it she went at a bound, then down again much fatigued, but evidently relieved by her journey. The man in the moon now came racketing and bumping down to know the cause of the disturbance. He was told all, and then asked if Jack could tell him the way to Norwich. "I'm very sorry," said Jack, "but you came down too soon. If you had waited a week I could have told you, but you came too soon entirely." The poor man gave a groan and began his journey back to the place where he came from. Jack led Picola down a long, windling path, when suddenly he saw a flock of birds flying in the air. "How I wish I had my gun," he exclaimed; "however, I can kill some of them with stones." "No, Jack, you ought not to throw stones at the innocent birds," said Picola. "Nonsense," replied Jack, "ohly people who live in glass houses, dare not throw stones, and I hope you know I live in a brick house." However, Jack did not throw the stone, but seemed engaged in deep thought. Just as he was taking leave Picola thought she heard a door open. She rubbed her eyes in surprise. To her great, astonishment she found herself in her nursery, sitting in her little chair. The nurse had just entered. "How did I ever get back?" asked Picola. "You have been right here all the time," said the nurse, "for I left the room but a moment ago." But Picola did not believe her. She never found out how she got back. Can you guess?—Philadelphia Ledger. Snail Sheep Year. "Most people would be horrified to learn that the finest mutton in the world comes from sheep fattened on snails," says a large breeder of Southdown sheep; "nevertheless it is a fact. In seasons when snails are plentiful the mutton from our sheep has a delicous flavor which it never acquires from the most scientific form of feeding." On the continent a diet of snails is a regular cure for consumptives and is said to fatten and nourish the body in a wonderful way. "There is a popular superstition," he adds, "that the unique and delicate flavor of Southdown mutton is due largely to the quantity of wild thyme which they crop with the grass in their pastures. But personally I give the snails the greater part of the credit for the safe, plump flesh and the sweetness of flavor in our celebrated sheep. So much is this the case that the saying 'Good snail year, good sheep year,' has become almost a proverb among shepherds and breeders."—London Daily Mall.

"Lighthouse Literature." We are asked the origin of the term "lighthouse literature." It owes its origin to the practice of presenting foreign reprints of copyright works, formerly confiscated and destroyed by the customs officers, to the corporation of Trinity House for use in lightships and lighthouses. To be read in such romantic surroundings is esteemed a privilege by popular authors, and the representatives of lighthouse literature include such names as E. F. Beason, Marle Corell, Hall Caine, Rudyard Kipling, Stanley Weyman, Israel Zangwill and Mark Twain. But the ordinary reader prefers the stability of Smith or Mudie to literature that is rocked in the cradle of the deep—London Chronicle. He Could Stand Disgrace Walter Howard, the London dramatist, was leaving the stag door or a theater one evening when an anaemic-looking youth stepped up and said: "Are you Mr. Howard?" The author replied in the affirmative, whereupon the young fellow he wanted to go on the stage. Noticing his evident unfitness for such a life Howard advised him to stick to his present occupation, whatever it was. "I am assistant to the pawnbroker across the way," said the ambitious young man. "And what do your people think of your going on the stage?" asked Howard. "Oh, they are right against it," was the jaunty reply, "but I shouldn't mind the disgrace myself."-Pittsburgh Dispatched COFFEE COMPLEXION Many Ladies Have Poor Complexions From Coffee. "Coffee caused dark colored blotches on my face and body. I had been drinking it for a long while and these blotches gradually appeared, until finally they became permanent and were about as dark as coffee itself. "I formerly had as fine a complexion as one could ask for. "When I became convinced that coffee was the cause of my trouble, I changed and took to using Postum Food Coffee, and as I made it well, according to directions, I liked. It very much, and have since that time used it in place of coffee. "I am thankful to say I am not nervous any more, as I was when I was drinking coffee, and my complexion is now as fair and good as it was years ago. It is very plain that coffee caused the trouble." Most bad complexions are caused by some disturbance of the stemcach and coffee is the greatest disturber of digestion known. Almost any woman can have a fair complexion if she will leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee and nutritious, healthy food in proper quantity. Postum furnishes certain elements from the natural grains from the field that Nature uses to rebuild the nervous system and when that is in good condition, one can depend upon a good complexion as well as a good healthy body.

Presbyterian Church, Hamburg avenue and Weirfield street, on the above theme, the pastor, Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, took as his text Ex. 20:12, "Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother." He said: The recognition by society and the individual of the authority of parentage is at the centre of all the theory of social government. The agreement of society that parents may and should control the youth of their offspring is the foundation upon which our system of social authority is reared. The individual recognition of the ruling right of parents is expressed in a larger sense in this Republic in the submission of the minority to the decree of the majority. The command speaks the truth when it enjoins honor to parents as the sure means unto long life. Small success would we enjoy did we not pay some heed to the mandates of our elders. Little power would the law of city, State or Nation exert over our lives were the fundamental ideas of obedience eliminated from family life. The individual and that Nation which has a poor sense of the need for obedience is sure to meet an early death. The man who won't learn from the past will not live long to instruct his descendants. The State within whose boundaries the recognition of the rights of the law has fallen into disrepute will soon totter, fall and be dashed to pieces. The text calls to our minds three things: First, that children should honor those who are over them by birth. Secondly, that parents should be worthy of honor from their children. Lastly, that, broadly speaking, the principle of obedience—that is to say, respect for law—must be manifested in all our civic life. "Honor thy father and thy mother," says the commandment. In urging the need for honor it implies that obedience, respect and deference be yielded to those who are above us in birth. The man who doesn't honor a good father and mother is not much of a man. The first law of life is that we should give honor to those who have given us life and that meed of love which we enjoy at their hands. The man who works lovingly and long for the welfare of his children, the woman who strives with motherly affection to make her home the pleasant harbor of her children, both are entitled to and should receive the honor of their children. Honor implies obedience. The youth who obeys the wise mandates of a good parent can never fall or fall. The parents who speak out of the fund of a true experience can teach any youth the way to the happiest life, and their words should be law. Honor implies respect. It is not dignified to belittle the place and dignity of a good parent. The youth who essays to speak with dogmatic assurance upon the full range of human problems pronounces himself a fool at the start. The disrespectful youth who disdains wise counsel and claims to know it all will era long find out that his ancestors can tell him at least one or two things of which he is ignorant. Honor implies deference. A youth who is to be the true being that we all should, be must learn first to yield primacy in all departments in life to ripe years full of wisdom and noble experience. The man who pushes his way into places where reserve should, very properly, be shown will sooner or later find that cheek doesn't draw checks, but rather rebuffs. We must, in our youth, yield honor, respect, obedience and deference to those who lead us worthily in home, the who we would learn gain honor to obey. He who would gain honor must grant honor. The man who wish the respect of other men must first of all be respectful. A little yielding of the point or place to age does no man any harm. Deference is delightful either in young or old. It isn't at all necessary for me to point to your youth the wrecks upon the shores of life who are monuments to dishonorable actions in the home. The gutters and the jails are all too full of men and women who refused to honor, to obey, to respect—or to listen. On the other hand, the commandment forces on ethical duty on the parent. Many times men become criminals because of parental mis management and lack of wise, sound and pure leadership in the home. Honor be to whom honor is due. The man or the woman who demands honor from a child must be honorable—that is to say, worthy of honor. Parents must be respectable before they shall merit or gain their children. Obedience is the due of that man who doesn't contravene the moral law or the laws of common sense—and the due of him alone. Are deserves deference not on the basis of years so much as on the basis of wisdom. Parents are many times more responsible for the lack of honor that children show them than are the children themselves. Honor in many minds begins and stops with obedience. Many parents seem to think that the subjection of the individuality of a child to their whim and will is the sum and total of obedience. Obedience consists in becoming as much like themselves as possible—some parents seem to think. Children cannot be held down in that matter. Freedom must be allowed for the exercise of individuality and personal preference and bent. Obedience must be given and required only when a moral principle is at stake or the best interests of a child make it necessary that parental authority be enforced. But the unreasonable exercise of undue authority which many people exhibit in their home life is pitiful—and the more so because the consequences are quite sure. The whole of honor is not bound up in obedience. Obedience should not stifle individuality. Children have rights to wise leadership and raising parental love. Many times they have to present government and no love—and whom shall we blame for the consequences? The wise parent will realize that as we grow older our ideas change and our perceptive powers strengthen. Guidance for a boy of four will hardly ever be the sort of advice the youth of fourteen will need. You may be the apotheosis of wisdom to your child of five and the finest parent ever of a child six without the power of artificial intelligence and keen perception—and most of us if we are not too unwise in handling our children are—but beware when your youth of sixteen has seen the habits of better and wiser men than you. Then must you watch out. For if you do not grow with and adjust yourself to the changing point, of view and the increased vision of your child you soon will find you are fast losing his respect. Give a child wise guidance! Study not how to make him a replica, a reproduction of his own face, lead him to be distinct personality, of strong individuality, molding by his own actions his being into the stature of the Son of God! Some one has said: "Who is to blame for the pitiful mite which children give in return for a parents' flood of love?" I do not know; but of this I am sure: if parents, would cease to feel that they own their children in common with their horses, their estates and their catte, they would not, as many do in varying degrees, sweat their children as their property, the return of love would be far more adequate than it is." We know how true that is. And yet I fear that many of us do not know how to handle our own children: A good child asks not for more pocket money, or newer clothes, or a more sumptuous supply at the table—but for a richer love. It is useless to try to hold children with gifts. Children should be taught to yield honor through parental love. A man who attempts to bind his children to him with material possessions must surely fail. But the father and the mother—be they ever so unlearned and be they ever so poor—who give their wisest experience and richest love to the cultivation of the personalities of their children will find that a bond that neither time nor eternity can sever holds their children to their sides. And if that won't—nothing else will. Love is the touchstone of life, the law and the measure of values. Love is the force that draws soul to soul. The home that is ruled, by love will be the seat of honor. For it is the abode of everything that is honorable, respectable, worthy of obedience and deference. But to carry the principle into its broadest application we must glance for a moment at the duty of honor and obedience to law, civil and moral. Here, as with the individual, the law must be worthy of honor. The civil law to-day is not so highly respected as it should be. From all parts of our country we read of lynchings, riots and miniature civil wars all due to disrespect for law. And yet the laws are largely at fault—and the enforcers of the law with them. When a murderer, guilty before men and God of heinous sin, may use the law to cheat the law, and prevent the execution of justice; when one man may buy off the law that sends another citizen to jail, when those who are sworn to inform the authorities of the crime we cannot say that individuals are entirely to blame for lack of deference to the law. The laws should be wise, sane, quick to act, equal in meeting justice to all offenders. Thus only can it retain the respect of the governed. And we on our part are not to turn to "wild justice" when the laws are not to our taste, but rather to the ballot box, there to see to it that good laws and the right men are set up over us to rule. But all honor for law is bound up with our early ideas and teachings, and in the home should be found the source of respect for law. Forgetfulness and Forgiveness. An old man lay on his dying bed, Beside him were three of his sons. The father had taken cach of his boys by the hand, and had spoken his last words of loving advice and farewell. When he had finished, one of the boys leaned over the dying man and, with much emotion, asked forgiveness for any harsh words spoken in the past. With a look of unutterable love, the father replied: "Oh, my boy, I forgot it all long ago!" When the prodigal (you and I) returns and confesses his sin, he finds that his Father has forgotten it all long ago. While the confession is still on the penitent's lips, he is restored to sonship. A Little at a Time. How often do we sigh for opportunities of doing good, whilst we neglect the openings of providence in little things, which would frequently lead to the accomplishment of most important usefulness! Dr. Johnson used to say, "He who waits to do a great deal of good at once will never do any." Good is done by degrees. However small in proportion the benefits which follow individual attempts to do good, a great deal may thus be accomplished by perseverance, even in the midst of discouragements and disappointments. — Crabb. The Invisible Force. God hates the sin but loves the sinner—loves him that is, as a man, not in his character of a sinner. God loves humanity in spite of, not because of its wrongdoing. He would, if possible, love the wrongdoer out of his sin, love him into decency, sanity, righteousness. The love of God is not a mere empty sentiment, but is an invisible force which makes for holliness, and ultimately for happiness.—Ram's Horn. In the Inner Sanctuarr.

Probably the most notable faked living picture ever produced was that which purported to give a representation of the actual scene inside Westminster Abbey at the King's Coronation. The production was the work of an inventive Frenchman, who had special scenery of the abbey painted and reproductions of the historical costumes made. Then a number of French actors were "made up" to represent the King, the aged Primate and other central figures—and remarkably illgelfike they were. The mock coronation ceremony took place at a quiet little village in Brittany, and the films were sent to London for reproduction in one of the leading houses of entertainment.

I have been a patient of catarrh of the head, throat and digestive organs. I consulted many physicians, but they did me no good. One day I happened to read some testimonials in your Peruna almanac. I decided to buy a bottle of each, and after taking them for a week I noticed a change for the better. So I kept it up, and after using twelve bottles I was perfectly cured. I gave the medicine to my children and the same beneficial result. I would never be without these remedies in the house." "I highly recommend Peruna and Manalina to all my friends, and in fact to everyone." Miss Mildred Grey, 110 Weimar St., Appleton, Wis., writes: "It gives me pleasure to recommend Peruna for catarrh of the stomach. I had this disease for a number of years, and could not enjoy a mouthful of food that I ate. It was indeed a great relief when I was sick. I had decided suits from the first. I took little before I felt entirely cured of my trouble, but I had an aggrudged ease."

GALA DAY IN ATLANTA Many Thousands From All Sections of the State Witness Inaugural Exercises at the Capitol. Governor Hoke Smith was inaugurated as chief executive of the state of Georgia at the capitol in Atlanta, Saturday at noon, two years to the day from the time he made his first campaign speech, in the presence of what has been estimated at 10,000 people. The oath of office was administered by Chief Justice Fish of the supreme court of Georgia, while with ex-Governor Terrell, President Akin of the senate, Speaker Slaton of the house, Secretary of State Cook and the assisting clergy, they stood on a raised platform on the west front of the capitol square. The great seal of state was handed to the incoming governor by the outgoing governor, and with its passage the formalities of the day were at an end, and Mr. Smith turned to the delivery of his inaugural address to the general assembly of Georgia, the members of which sat in organized form. Immediately after the conclusion of his address Mr. Smith was besieged by his friends. But first, and before all of the formal exercises at the ciptol, there took place through the principal streets of the city the inaugural parade of four divisions, which made a scene never to be forgotten. Under the marshalship of General C. A. Evans, the old war horse of the Confederacy, the parade had been admirably arranged and careful aides saw that the orders were faithfully executed. The first division of the parade composed the military, the second was composed of carriages of the governor-elect and his party. The third was made up of the various Hoke Smith clubs while the fourth was composed of citizens generally. At his home on West Peachtree street, promptly at 11 o'clock, Governor Smith entered the carriage which had been arranged for him. In it there were seated Judge Hillyer, Representative Alexander of DeKalb, committeeman from the house, and Senator W. C. Martin, committeeman from the senate. Four handsome horses pulled the open landau. Governor Smith was cheered repeatedly along the line of parade, and was uncovered almost continuously. He bowed and smiled from right to left, and whenever there was an unusual burst of applause he made his acknowledgments by rising and bowing his thanks. A platform had been erected for the inauguration ceremonies on the grassy award on the west front of the capitol and in this enclosure were seated the general assembly, the immediate family of the governor-elect and all ladies with escorts, or as many as could be crowded into the stand. The arrangement committee planned for 4,000 seats. Back of this the great crowd swelled and surged like a giant wave in a sea of humanity. There has not been, in all probability in the history of the state, such an ovation tendered a governor upon assuming office as that so generously afforded Governor Hoke Smith at the capitol grounds. There has probably never ben such a large attendance at the inaugural exercises of the chief executive of the state as was here witnessed. At 12 o'clock the general assembly repaired to the stand from the capitol. A loud shout went up, continuing until the body was seated. The assembly CONTRACT FOR BATTLESHIPS Are Awarded by Secretary of Navy to the Lowest Bidders. Secretary Metcalfe Saturday awarded the contract for the construction of the two twenty thousand ton battleships, one to the Newport News Shipbuilding company at $4,000,000, and the other to the Fore River Shipbuilding company, Quincy, Mass., at $4,377,000. was led by the sergeants-at-arms of both houses. The senate was seated to the right of the platform and the members of the house directly in the front. After them came Governor Terrell, who was greeted with continued applause. He was followed by the state house officials, the judges of the United States courts and the judges of the supreme and superior courts. Governor Terrell advanced, taking a seat on the platform with President Akia of the senate; Speaker Slaton of the house; Secretary of State Phil Cook and Chief Justice Fish. Bishop Warren A. Candler and Rev. Orme Flinn, the governor-elect's pastor, were also seated on the platform. Directly to the left of the grandstand was reserved a box for the governor-elect's relatives. One notable fact took place just before the governor-elect entered. Three ex-governors, McDaniel, Northen and Candler, entered the building arm in arm, taking seats in front. Within a few minutes, a shout went up from the audience, and Governor-Elect Hoke Smith, preceded by the joint inauguration committee of the general assembly, entered the building. An immense rapping, clapping and stamping permeated the air, and continued until President Akin rapped for order. Everything being quieted, President Akin called upon Bishop Warren Candler to pray. The assembly rose, listening intently to the invocation. The president of the senate then introduced the governor-elect to the general assembly, which was followed by frequent outbursts of applause. The oath of office was then administered by Chief Justice Fish and Hoke Smith, private citizen just an instant before, became Governor Hoke Smith of the state of Georgia. Governor Smith accepted the great seal amid an immense demonstration by those present. The inaugural speech then followed. This occupied just one hour and ten minutes. Governor Smith outlined the policies which are to be features of his administration. The disfranchisement plan was explained at length, the governor urging that it will in no way violate the federal constitution and that more than this there is nothing in it either unwise or unjust to any person. As to railroad legislation, beyond a plea for more power for the railroad commission, the abolition of the free pass system and the equalization of freight and passenger fares, the governor did not go into the details of the legislation which it is proposed to be enacted. "While my sympathies in a local election are with those who oppose the sale of liquor, for the present local option may furnish the best plan for controlling the liquor traffic." In this sentence Governor Smith stated his position on the prohibition question. He then went on to say that he believes the dry counties should be kept dry and that he cordially favors such legislation as will assure this. Possibly no part of Mr. Smith's address was heard with so much interest as the sentence dealing with the liquor question, which is now so acutely before the public. He also declared that he believed it would be wise to have the state experiment station moved from Griffin to Athens, now that the plant of the state agricultural college has been so greatly enlarged. After concluding his speech, the governor handed the great seal of state to Secretary Phil Cook for safekeeping. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. Richard Orme Flinn of the North Avenue Presbyterian church. The general assembly then left the building, going to their respective chambers, and adjourned. Governor Smith retired to the executive's offices, where he was met by a long file of friends, who came to congratulate him. At 4 o'clock the doors of the executive mansion were thrown open, and thenceforward until 10 o'clock Saturday night Governor and Mrs. Smith were the hosts at the largest reception ever held in the state. 8IXTY SEAMEN LOSE LIVES In Reported Collision Between French Battleship and Torpedo Boat. It was reported in Toulon, France, Saturday night, that during the voyage of a French squadron bound from Marseilles, a battleship collided with a torpedo boat destroyer, and that sixty men were killed or injured. Sheriff Gives Facts In Chattanooga Federal Court as to Lynching of When the Shipp contempt case,which has ben under way at Chattanooga, Tenn., for three weeks, was called Thursday afternoon. Sheriff Shipp was called to the witness stand in defense of himself and his deputies. He told all the circumstances connected with the lynching of Ed Johnson from the time he first heard of a mob, through the telephone suggestion of Attorney General M. N. Wiltaker, how he rushed to the jail, was captured by the mob and imprisoned in the bath room while the mob took the negro, and how he had done everything in his power to protect te rapist from mob violence. Sheriff Shipp told of the events of the night of the lynching. He went home at 6:30 that night, intending to do some work at home. The attorney general called him up and told him there was a mob at the jail. He went there immediately, pushing his way through the crowd. He saw the night jaller in one corner of a room guarded by three or four men. He started to his aid, but was attacked from behind and made prisoner. He was so firmly held that physical resistance was useless. The sheriff said he did not recognize any one he saw, except Dr. Sutton, Night Jailor Gibson, Frank Stoops and two newspaper men. These; he said, were not engaged in the lynching. Some of the lynchers were masked and others were not. He was guarded closely while the mob secured the negro and got away. In answer to questions, the sheriff said if he had to do it over again he would do it differently; that not a single man offered him a helping hand; that he had but one pistol against many; that he was physically unable to withstand the attack of the crowd and that during the entire time he was in fall he was under arrest. A diagram of the jail was offered in evidence, the sheriff explaining his movements that night and showing the same on the diagram. Judge Deals Heavy Blow to Prosecution in Loving Case. The taking of testimony in the case of Judge William G. Loving at Houston, Va., on trial for the murder of Theodore Estes, in Nelson county, on April 22, was concluded at 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The court adjourned until 10 o'clock Friday. The rapidity with which the trial has progressed has been most surprising to all concerned. The day developed a most important turning in the case, when Judge Barksdale rendered an opinion, concerning the admissibility of certain evidence, the decision dealing a heavy blow to the prosecution. Attorney Harmon, for the prosecution, announced his intention to call witnesses to show that the story told by Miss Elizabeth Loving to her father that she was drugged and assaulted by Theodore Estes was a fabrication and that Estes never offered an indignity to the girl, even suggesting that there might be another motive back of the killing. The defense objected on the ground that such testimony had no bearing on the case, and whether true or false had nothing to do with the question of Judge Loving's state of mind at the time of the tragedy. Judge Barksdale, in a lengthy opinion, sustained the contention of the defense, and among the cases he cited as precedents was the Thaw trial in New York. Judge Barksdale ruled that the character of the girl or the character of the man who was killed was not the issue and the truth or falsity of her story had no bearing on the case. GERMANS ON THE WAY. Hundred Immigrants Arrive in New York for Alabama. It is reported in Montgomery that State Immigration Agent DeHoll, who has been in foreign countries in search of immigrants, has arrived in New York with one hundred Germans, who will be taken to the Birmingham district. Governor Comer said that he had no facts as yet about the trip, but will be able to give some out, when he receives further report from the agent. With Million Dollars Capital. The National Hoslery and Yarn Company, with a capital of $1,000,000, was formed in Nashville, Tuesday. The company is composed of the interests now represented in the Nashville Hoslery company, the Royal knitting mills of Mount Vernon, Ill., and the Jefferson hoslery mills of Birmingham, Ala. The headquarters of the company will be located in Nashville. Principal Point of Argument by Loving's Attorneys. Judge Strikes Out Instructions of State—Attorney Strode of Defense Makes Strong Pea for His Client. Argument in the trial of former Judge William G. Loving for the murder of Theodore Estes was begun in court at Houston, Va., late Friday afternoon, after a day spent by counsel for both sides in the preparation of instruction, and a wrangle over them before the court. The instructions, as read by Judge Barksdale, discussed murder, its various degrees, the question of reasonabe doubt, the time allowed for a man's angry passions to subside and especially insanity. The following instruction prepared by the prosecution, touching on the "unwritten law" was stricken out by the court: "No man, under the protection of the law has a right to be the avenger of his own wrongs; if they be of a nature for which the laws of society gave him an adequate remedy, thither should he resort; but be they of any nature whatsoever, he has no right to avenge them except in the manner prescribed by the law. The unwritten law, by which is meant the right of the citizen to become the avenger of his own wrongs in a manner not authorized by law or against the law, has no place in the criminal jurisprudence of Virginia." Attorney Daniel Harmon of Charlottesville for the prosecution and Attorney Aubrey E. Strode, for the defense, spoke for an hour and a half each. Mr. Harmon, in his address, sought to show that Judge Loving killed Estes, with "delliberation, and upon reflection," and that the defendant was a sane and responsible man at the time of the killing, thus making the offense murder in the first degree. "There is no evidence in this case to show that young Estes had been guilty of any wrongdoing," said Mr. Harmon, "and you have no right to base your verdict on any assumption that he was guilty. The commonwealth will not be given the right to vindicate him, and every man stands in the eyes of the law innocent until he has been proved guilty." Attorney Strode, who followed, based his plea almost exclusively on the unwritten law. He said in part: "We are here to present to you the case for the defendant, where we always believed it should be presented—in a court of justice. We believe that the people of Hallifax and Nelson counties cherish the same traditions and the same sentiments. The heritage of Virginians is common to us all. The fairest and best trial of a man is before a jury endowed with similar and like passions. The condition of his mind cannot be decided so well as by a tribunal of his own countrymen. The first principle of law is to put yourself in the place of that man who is before you for trial. "The commonwealth demands the life of the defendant, and for what? I do not undervalue life; but there is something sweeter to all Virginians—the honor and purity of our women. We have written in our laws that if a man attempts to assault one of our daughters, he has forfeited his life. You, gentlemen of the jury, have nothing to do with the truth or falsity of what Miss Loving told her father. His daughter was his pride. He admired her beauty and her purity. When he heard that his daughter, to whom he was bound by ties of affection, was brought home drugged and unconscious by a young man to whose courtesy and chivalry she had been entrusted, he labored against his passions and remained away from the sight of young Estes until he heard the story of her ruin from her own lilies." Mr. Strode discussed Judge Loving's struggle against the whiskey habit, the buggy ride and the testimony of the insanity experts. He appealed to each juror not to let "Old Halifax go back on that established precedent that one of our most cheerful and best duties is the protection of the honor and the virtue of our women." Usual Crime of Negro Results In Usual Aftermath. Following an assault on a white girl near Ruby, Va., a small railway station, a negro who had been arrested and identified by the girl as her assailant, was taken from a deputy sheriff by a mob while being carried to Alexandria for safe keeping, and "lost." The grand secretary has received several letters asking about the recent endowment enactment by the grand lodge. This shows that the brethren are interested in the movement and are going to make it a success. The grand master will soon issue a proclamation touching on this point, but in the meantime the grand secretary or grand master will be glad to answer any question propounded by the brethren. We are always proud of the fact that we are a Mason, but from the high grounds taken on all moral questions and the intelligent and fraternal manner in which the brethren act at the grand lodge communications, especially at the last one, makes us feel always like giving vociferous vent to our feelings. Though as Masons, we do not believe in a show or in blowing our horn, we are proud of Mason, we are proud of what it has accomplished, and are sure that its future accomplishments will be greater than the past ones. As Masons we extend to the great order of Knights of Pythias fraternal greeting and hope that its annual session in Augusta next week will be a harmonious and fruitful one. The hope is expressed that the greed for office and contention will be abated and only the efforts for just legislation for the good of the order will be made. As Masons we suggest to the Knights to put a censure on its official organ and members of the order in order to keep from the public much of the tbus usiness of the order. By doing this the real worth of the order will be more appreciated. Announcements for office, pralse of candidates and publishing proposed changes of laws in the newspapers detract from any order. Sir Knights take our advice and cut these things out. It's work, and hard work, for every worshipful master and officer of each lodge in the jurisdiction during the year. There must be improvement along every line. Efforts must be made to reclaim the careless members. The spirit of good citizenship and pure Masonry must be instilled in them. Encouragement must be given to the faithful ones, thereby the profanes will see our efforts for good and moral upliftment by flocking to our standard. Every Mason should be in favor of curtailing the whiskey traffic. Worshipful masters, make your meetings interesting by calling them at the proper time, whether your officers are present or not, just so that you have a sufficient number and then call off early. Do this and, you will always have a good crowd out, and interesting meetings. Practice this the balance of the year and you will see the good results. If you have two meetings a month have one exclusively for business and the other for lecture and work make them both short. Send to the grand secretary the two dollars that is requested from each lodge for the painting of the building of the Home. Let us keep our property in repairs. The grand secretary has his minutes of the last grand communication ready for the press. Lodges that are behind or owing a balance had better communicate with him and settle at once. The call has been issued for the eighth annual communication of the grand chapter O. E. S., which convenes in Americus on Tuesday, August 20th. Each chapter is expected to send a fall delegation and make full reports. Lodges having no chapter of the order of the Eastern Star among the ladies, should write the grand secretary for information. It will be gladly given. Putnam Lodge No. 170 at Eatonton, Jefferson, San and Mt. Engn Lodges united in the celebration of St. John's day at Ebenezer Baptist Church. The three lodges marched from the Masonic Hall to the Church. Rev. J. J. Harris delivered a fine sermon, after which Brother E. W. Paschal made some interesting remarks. A paper was read by Brother H. A. Slaughter. Several of the brethren made short talks. After the exercises the lodges returned to the hall, where the lodges had prepared refreshments. The next celebration will be at Jefferson Son Lodge. Mt. Olive Lodge No. 228 at Everett City had a glorious celebration of St. John's day. The deather was fine and the brethren turned out in large numbers. The sermon was preached by Rev. J. C. Screven. The singing was rendered by the sisters of the Eastern Star, and was enjoyed. Short addresses were delivered by Brother W. B. Brookins, Brother Williams and Brother P. Warley. There were several visitors and a large collection was raised. Brothers M. Baker and B. Newsome had charge of the procession. Brother C. Mangram, the faithful worshipful master, did all he could to make the celebration a great success. It's the after effect of experience that counts. DAYTONA, FLA., DOTS: The rainy season has set in at last. Rev. A. Jackson, pastor of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church, spent several days in Jacksonville this week. Masters Johnnie and Lawrence Carry have returned home from Welborne, wheer they spent some time with their grandfather and brother. Mr. S. P.

I take pleasure to write to you to let you know Composite Lodge No. 40 celebrated St. Johns day on the 5th Sunday in June, 1907. We had a grand time. The craft assembled at two o'clock in the afternoon at the Masonic Temple and then marched through the principal streets to the C. M. E. Church and there a sermon was delivered by Rev. A. T. Tompkins, chaplain of the lodge, and the pastor in charge. He spoke some encouraging words for the fraternity. The W. M. also spoke concerning the ways of a Mason and the living of the same. The brothers of our lodge are carried away about the endowment. Since I have been W. M. I have nearly doubled the membership of my lodge and I think I can do more. I have a convention on foot in Waycross for a new lodge, which means much to my credit. Truly your brother, REV. P. W. BUTLER, W. M. DESPERADO CHEATED GALLOWS. Condemned Negro Made Good His Declaration by Suiciding. George Jenkins, a negro desperado, who was to be hanged at Tunica, Miss., last Tuesday, for the murder of Herbert Clifton, a prominent young planter of that county, made good his remarkable declaration: "I won't be hanged if I can help myself. The only way they will ever get me to the gallows will be to carry me there." He committed suicide in the Hinds county jail just as he was about to be taken from his cell and carried to Tunica for execution. He cut his throat with a razor blade. Sheriff Owens of Tunica county returned home very much chagrined over the queer turn of fate that permitted Jenkins to cheat the gallows. All preparations had been completed for the hanging, and it was to be a public event, the victim of Jenkins having been one of the most prominent planters in the delta and his friends demanded that the execution take place in public. The Tunica sheriff had a right to feel badly over the suicide of Jenkins; for the desperado viciously spat in his face while the physicians were trying to dress the gaping wound, and declared with the vilest caths that he would not go to the gallows. How Jenkins managed to procure the razor blade with which he committed suicide is still a mystery. SHIPP HEARING ENDS. Noted Contempt Case is Again Up to the Supreme Court. After a three week's session, the hearing of the testimony in the proceedings against Captain John F. Shipp and twenty-six other defendants, instituted in the United States supreme court, as a result of the lynching of the negro, Ed Johnson, in March, 1906, ended at Chattanooga. Commissioner Maher and other officers of the supreme court have returned to Washington. The commissioner will submit the testimony to the supreme court of the United States when that tribunal meets in October. A decision can not be expected until November or December.
