VOL. XXII.
DRY TIMES
House Passes Sena
By Majority of Or
Effective Jan
The Georgia house of representatives, Tuesday night, passed the Hardman-Covington-Neel state prohibition bill by a majority of an even one hundred votes—the final count being 139 ayes to 39 nays. The bill was passed with the amendments of the temperance committee of the house and two minor amendments introduced by Mr. Wright of Floyd and Mr. Wise of Fayette, at 7:53 o'clock, after a day which had been spent in consideration of the measure and the flood of amendments and substitutes which had been introduced.
The action of the house means the wiping out of the legalized liquor traffic in a state which has never been free from it since Georgia was a state; a fight which came as an overwhelming surprise to the whiskey element and the anti-prohibition forces of the state, and was pushed forward with an amazing force and determination. Weeks ago the anti-prohibitionists of Georgia gave up the conflict as too unequal. They realized they were contending against insuperable odds; that the sentiment of the state was overwhelmingly in favor of prohibition, and the best they could hope for was an extension of time in which the bill should go into effect or a modification of some of its more stringent provisions.
The prohibitionists, confident of their strength, conceded nothing — would not admit that a concession of some kind devolved upon them—and made the victory the most sweeping and complete of any state in the United States, voting on a similar measure. On January 1st, 1908, there will not be a state in the United States with a prohibition measure, so complete as Georgin's will be. The bill leaves no loopholes for selling whiskey in Georgia. If its provisions are complied with, whiskey will be eliminated as a factor in the life of the state. It was 4:35 o'clock Wednesday afternoon that debate on the bill ceased and voting on the amendments and substitutes began.
It had been a quiet day. The galleries were empty. No visitors had been allowed on the floor of the house or in the cloak rooms. No one but representatives, clerks and authorized newspaper men were in the hall. The flood of impassioned oratory had not developed. True there had been speeches, but they were speeches in which forensic display had little part. Each speaker had been limited in his remarks, and each one had something definite, something important to say, for the time limit admitted of no flowers of speech.
At 6:45 o'clock the last of the amendments and substitutes had been disposed of and Speaker Slaton rapped for order.
In a few words he expressed the hope that the house would preserve that decorum and order which had been characteristic of the day, and refrain from any applause or disorder. Immediately there was a brief interval of intense quiet. The measure was about to be put on its passage. At 7:10 o'clock it was realized that the bill had received 92, votes enough to secure its passage. The news filtered rapidly to the corridors and a mighty cheer went up—a cheer which was as but a whisper in a tempest to the storm that arose outside when the last vote had been cast at 7:53 o'clock and the official news was conveyed to the waiting crowd, many of whom had been in waiting all day.
At 8 o'clock Mr. Candler of DeKalb, after the announcement of Speaker Slaton that the bill had passed, asked unanimous consent that the measure be transmitted to the senate: At 8:05 o'clock, on motion of Mr. Hall of Bibb, the house adjourned. There was but little cheering among the members as the gavel of Speaker Slaton fell. A majority of these men realized they had been making history for Georgia. The victors in their hour of triumph shook hands with
their opponents. Each recognized the other had been fighting for a cause he thought was right. A bitter fight was ended. Scarcely had the news reached the street than the church bells began to ring out in glad acclaim. Crowds surged through the streets, bearing Hon. Seaborn Wright on their shoulders. Crowds thronged the Grady monument. Crowds thronged the hotel lobbies. Telephone bells in newspaper offices rang incessantly. Each ring meant a query about the bill. It was well on into the night when the excitement and noise subsided.
The members who voted against the passage of the measure are as follows: Adams of Chatham, Adams of Wilkinson, Allen, Anderson of Bulloch, Barksdale, Barrow, Bell, Berry, Blackburn, Cannon, Chamlee Crumley, Dunbar, Estes, Fowler, Fraser, Geer, Glenn, Hall, Heard, Hines, Howard, Hubbard, Huff, Lee, Lumsden, McCarthy, Maxwell, Moore, Perry, Powell, Russell, Slade, Stephens, Taylor of Sumter, Tift, Townsend, Trent, Tuggle. Total cast against, 39. Those members not present at the time of the voting were Donalson, Slater, Stewart, and Wright of Richmond.
SENATOR PETTUS BURIED.
Immense Throng Attend Funeral Services in Selma and Great Honors Shown Dead Statesman.
The funeral of the late Senator Edmund W. Petus, who died suddenly at Hot Springs, N. C., took place in Selma, Ala., Wednesday afternoon, from his late residence.
Interment was in Live Oak cemetery, where less than two months ago his late colleague, Senator John T. Morgan, was laid to rest. Senator Pettus' funeral was attended by the greatest honor ever paid an Alabama citizen. The members of the legislature, Governor Comer and members of his staff, former Governor Joseph F. Johnston, who will succeed Senator Pettus in the senate, and the various state officials attended the funeral. In addition thousands of citizens thronged the city to pay their tribute of love to the dead senator.
The funeral services at the home consisted of reading of the old time Presbyterian ritual, and were conducted by Rev. S. G. Rawlings of the First Presbyterian church. They were very simple. The procession to the cemetery in addition to the second infantry, included troop C, cavalry and battery C of artillery. The members of Camp Jones, United Confederate Veterans, acted as a special guard of honor. The procession was a long one, a delegation of colored citizens bringing up the rear. The entire city, was bedecked in mourning and all business houses were closed during the funeral.
ROADS KICK ON FINES.
Western Lines Having Trouble Over Carrying of Mails.
Western railroads are near an open break with the postoffice department over the transportation of the mails, because of the imposition of heavy fines for delay in delivering the mails. To consider the situation, a number of railroad officials held an important conference in Chicago Wednesday. One of them declares that the fines levied by the government against his road in one-quarter amounted to $40,000.
PREACHER PREDICTS TROUBLE.
Says That Prohibition in Savannah and Augusta Will Fail.
Rev. Bascom Anthony of Savannah, one of the best known ministers of the south Georgia conference, on learning of the passage of the prohibition bill, said that for a short time after the law become operative it will not be possible to enforce it in Savannah and Augusta. These two cities he singled out as the strongest in opposition to prohibition.
SAVANNAH. GA.
SENATOR PETTUS DEA
Aged Alabama Soldier and Statesman Buccumbs to Stroke of Apoplexy at North Carolina Resort.
United States Senator Pettus of Alabama died Saturday at 10 o'clock at Hot Springs, N. C., from the effects of a stroke of apoplexy, with which he was seized while at the breakfast table Friday morning. His entire body was paralyzed and he never regained consciousness.
Senator Pettus' daughter and his grandson, E. W. Pettus, Jr., reached Hot Springs an hour before the senator's death, but he did not recognize them. The attending physicians say that from the time of the apoplectic stroke Senator Pettus suffered no pain and that he passed away quietly.
Senator Pettus arrived at the North Carolina resort about a week ago from Tate Springs, Tenn. Up to the time of his seizure, he was apparently in the best of health. At the breakfast table, Friday morning, it is said, he was unusually cheerful, and when he was stricken the guests of the hotel thought that he merely had a fainting fit. Physicians were summoned from Asheville for consultation with the local physicians, and it was seen that there was no hope of the senator's recovery. The body was embalmed Sunday, and was shipped to the senator's former home in Selma. The body left Hot Springs on a special train, accompanied by a number of United States senators acting as an escort of honor.
The committee appointed by Vice President Fairbanks to represent the senate at the funeral at Selma is as follows: Senators Bankhead, Allison, Cuilom, Daniel, Warren, Clay, Overman, McEnery, Scott, Knox, William Alden Smith, Rayner, Tallaferro, Mallory and Simmons.
Speaker Cannon appointed the Alabama delegation to represent the house of representatives, consisting of Representatives Taylor, Wiley, Clayton, Bowie, Heflin, Burnett, Richardson and Underwood, and also representatives Brownlow, Padgett, Hay of Virginia, Thomas of North Carolina, and Finley of South Caroline.
At a mass meeting of citizens held at Selma Sunday evening, largely attended, a committee was appointed to make arrangements' for the funeral. Senator Pettus celebrated his 86th birthday at Tate Springs only a few days ago, and on that occasion his unusual vigor was the subject of comment.
The death of Senator Pettus following quickly the passing of his colleague from Alabama, Senator Morgan. Both were notable types of the old school of southern statesmen; much alike in temperament, appearance, age and political convictions. Mr. Pettus came from revolutionary stock and during the civil war he rose to the rank of brigadier general in the confederate army. He entered the senate ten years ago and while not among the brilliant orators of that body he was notable for his conscientious attention to the details of public business.
Former Governor Joseph M. Johnson of Birmingham will succeed to the seat in the senate made vacant by the death of Senator Pettus. Ex-Governor Johnston was selected as second alternate last year when Senators Morgan and Pettus were renominated. Congressman Bankhead was chosen as first alternate senator and he has already been elected by the legislature to succeed the late Senator Morgan.
EXCURSION TRAIN WRECKED.
Three People Lose Life and a Score or More-Are Hurt.
In a wreck of an excursion train at Isle Station, ten miles from Butler, Pa., on the Allegheny and Western road, three persons were killed outright and a score or more were more or less seriously injured. The cause of the accident is not given.
FIVE CHILDREN BUTCHERED.
Madman Runs Amuck in Berlin and Slashes Little Girls. A flendish and atrocious criminal made his appearance on the streets of Berlin, Germany, Friday, and five little girls are his victims. The man approached the children on the streets and by a deft stroke ripped open their stomachs with a knife. One of the children is dead. The criminal has so far escaped capture. He is presumed to be a madman.
Tribune.
AY. AUGUST, 3. 1907.
Planned by Government to Be Issued from September to March, and Printed at 10 O'Clock A. M.
The census bureau at Washington has perfected its arrangements for collecting cotton ginning statistics covering the cotton crop of 1907-08. There will be ten reports, the first appearing September 8, and the last March 20. The intermediate dates of publication will be October 2, October 25, November 8, November 21, December 8, December 20, January 9 and January 23. In each instance except in that of the March report the statement will represent the condition of the crop about a week before the date of publication. The report of March 20 will deal with the condition oh March first.
As heretofore, the agents will be given six days in which to visit the ginneries and secure their returns. Summaries of these will be wired to the bureau on the last day of the canvas. On the day following the close of the canvass these telegraphic summaries will be added and the results will be given to the public. The reports will be printed and mailed within twenty-four hours after publication to all ginners and to all others interested.
Last season these reports were published at 2 p. m. on the day following the close of the canvass, but this season the bureau will endeavor to publish the results at 10 a. m.
The publication at this hour will permit the results to reach Europe within trading hours on the day that they are published in America. This is in line with the earnest requests of European spinners of American cotton, and it is believed that by enabling them to trade on these reports in their own markets on the dates of publication the fluctuations in the price of cotton and the results of speculation in the production on these occasions will be reduced.
Between the hour of 6 p. m., when the agents complete their canvass and make their county summaries for telegraphing and 10 a. m. of the next morning, when the reports are published in Washington, no business is transacted on cotton exchanges in this country, and hence under this system Director North says there can be no improper use of the information. Two of the publication dates, September 8 and December 8, fall on Sunday, and Director North states that these two dates will be changed.
Launch Swamped by Storm and Only One of Its Occupants Escaped.
During a heavy thunder storm Friday night a gasoline launch, with ten men on board, capsized near Toronto, Ontario, and only one succeeded in reaching the nearby shore.
In explaining the accident the sole survivor said: "The storm struck the launch broadcast and upset it. All were thrown into the water. Some clung on, but they all seemed to disapear at once. It was pitch dark and I saw no more of any of them. I struggled to the shore, and walked home as best I could."
Advises His Client to Apepal from Decision of Army Board. While Lieutenant Colonel Charles Ayers, who was officially notified of his retirement from the army Friday, has announced that he will, as a soldier, accept the order of the commander-in-chief without comment, it is known that his lawyer has advised him to proceed further and have an examination made by competent physicians in private life, and if their diagnosis does not bear out the diagnosis made by the army surgeons, to submit those facts to the war department and the president.
Indian, Territory Banker Paid $10,000 for a Gold Brick.
J. C. McAllister, president of the American National bank of South McAlester, I. T., has been swindled into paying $10,000 cash for a worthless brick offered by a man representing himself to be a miner. It was taken Muscogee, apprised at the government office and stated to contain 80 of pure gold. After the completed the McAlester banker, found that he had, been given an imitation imprint of the brick the praiser had examined.
Governor Glenn, Assert Railroads in Unison.
BACKDOWN IS EXPLAINED
Hot Parting Shot is Taken at North Carolina State Authorities by Roads Affected in Now Noted Rate Case.
A parking shot at the North Carolina state authorities in the railroad controversy was fired through petitions which the Southern railway and the Atlantic Coast Line filed before Judge Pritchard at Asheville Monday, asking that his interlocutory injunction be modified in accordance with the "peace' agreement reached Saturday at Raleigh between Glenn and the railroads.
Both roads filed petitions very similar in tenor which explained a conference held in Asheville Monday morning between attorneys representing the two roads. The petition of the Southern railway recites the entire history of the railroad cases and includes a protest against what the roads regard as their ill treatment, this protest and recital of facts being designed for perusal of the supreme court of the United States as well as for the public.
The railroads declare, in effect, that they were clubbed into becoming a party to the agreement effected at Raleigh; that the public mind has been inflamed by the newspapers and the utterances of politicians, and the agreement was only assented to under duress, because of threats of an extra session of the legislature for the purpose of adopting legislation hostile to the railroads.
The Southern Railway company, says the petition was confronted with a question as to whether its proper sense of duty to the peace and good order of the state, a proper consideration of its obligations to perform its duties as a common carrier in state and interstate business, and the subjecting of its employees to arrest and imprisonment would justify it in longer claiming its constitutional right to the protection of the interlocutory order permitting it to continue until the hearing of its existing rate of passenger charges, or whether it was not best to cease the unequal conflict with the united powers of the state.
The Southern railway does not lose sight, continues the petition, of the momentous nature of the claim asserted by the state. If the claim of the state can be sustained, it is pointed out, it means that through the agency of its criminal laws a man can take the use of property (which is property) without compensation, for the time pending the enactment of a statute by its general assembly, and the final determination of its constitutionality. If this claim of the state be upheld, the petition maintains, a state could fix the rate at 1 cent and if the corporation was compelled to observe this low rate, notwithstanding the fourteenth amendment forbids it, the state has the power to take, during the period mentioned, the property, of a company without compensation.
With reference to the "coercion and intimidation" employed to drive the railroads by courts, as to the extent mentioned, the petition calls attention to the activity of Governor Glenn against the road.
In fact, the petition says, the government directed the coercive measures.
The request to make changes indicated in the petition was granted by Judge Pritchard.
POWERS AGAIN IN COURT.
For Fourth Time Man Charged With
Gochek's Murder in Arraigned.
For the fourth time Caleb Powers was placed on trial at Georgetown, Ky., charged with complicity in the murder of William Goebsl, with Special Judge Robbins on the bench. Immediately after court convened Judge Sims of counsel for Powers, entered a motion and filed an affidavit in its support to have the sitting judge sworn off the bench. Court adjourned until Tuesday to give the commonwealth attorneys time to consider the motion and affidavit.
TEN COTTON REPORTS.
NINE MEN WENT DOWN.
AYERS' LAWYER PROTESTS.
CAUGHT BY AN OLD SWINDLE.
RESULT 'WAS A SURPRISE!
Eight Jurors Were for Haywood from the First and Other Four Were Finally Won Over—Orchard's Story Unavailing.
In the bright sunlight of a beautiful Sabbath morning, William D. Haywood, secretary and treasurer of the Western Federation of Miners, walked from the court room at Boise, Idaho, a free man, acquitted of the murder of former Governor, Steuenberg.
Probability of acquittal was freely predicted after Judge Fremont Wood read his charge Saturday, which was regarded as favorable to the defense in its interpretation of the laws of conspiracy, circumstantial evidence and the corroboration of a confessed accomplice. It was also freely predicted that, in the event of Haywood's acquittal, the state would abandon the prosecution of his associates, Charles H. Moyer, president of the federation, and Geo. A. Pettibone of Denver. Statements from counsel and from Governor Gooding, issued Sunday, dispel this view of the situation. Governor Gooding said:
"The verdict is a great surprise to me, and I believe to all citizens of Idaho, who have heard or read the evidence in the case. I have done my duty. I have no regret as to any action I have taken, and my conscience is clear. As long as God gives me strength, I shall continue my efforts for government by law and for organized society.
"The state will continue a vigorous prosecution of Moyer and Pettibone and Adams and of Simpkins when apprehended. There will be neither hesitation nor retreat."
Application will be made to Judga Wood to admit Moyer and Pettibone to bail.
Not the least interesting of the comments made on the outcome was that of Harry Orchard, the confessed murderer of Steunenberg, and the witness on whom the state chiefly relied to prove its charge of a conspiracy among certain members of the Western Federation of Miners. When told at the state penitentiary that Haywood had been acquitted Orchard said:
"Well, I have done my duty. I have told the truth. I could do no more. I am ready to take any punishment that may be meted out to me for my crime, and the sooner it comes the better."
It was after being out, for twenty one hours that the jury, which at first had been divided 8 to 4 for acquittal, and then seemed deadlocked, at 10, to 2, finally came to an agreement. Events moved rapidly enough after this, and when at last the principal actors in the trial had been gathered into the court room, at a few moments before 8 o'clock, Sunday morning, the envelope handed by the foreman to the judge was born open and the verdict read.
It came as an electric thrill to the prisoner, to his counsel, to the attorneys for the state and the small group of newspaper reporters and court officers, who had been summoned from beds, but lately sought, or from offices where sleepless waiting had marked the night.
Tears welled to the eyes of the man who, during the 80 days of his trial, had sat with stolid indifference written on his every feature. At last, the icy armor that he had thrown about himself with the first of jury selection had been pierced.
Haywood's attorneys were fairly lifted from their seats, and Judge Wood made no effort to restrain them, as they surrounded him to shake hands and shout aloud their complaints.

Every farmer wants to know to a cent tho
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 te reach quickly and
accurately results usually arrived at with*much
thought and tedious calculaticn. ‘Time is worth
_much, but accuracy is still more important.
"Many books have been prepared to make the
task of calculating casy, its results sure, but
never one fitted to all men, in all kinds of busi-
ness. 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 com-
plete, useful and comprehensive work of the
Kind ever published. It will make every one in-
dependent, sure and self-reliant in all practical
calculations connected with farming and other
lines of business. It will prevent mistakes, re-
lieve 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 casily erased. and is an invaluable assistant
for every farmer or breiness man.

TWO VIEWS ARE.GIVEN |
As to Effect of Prohibition If Georgla
by Leaders of Fight on Exch Side
of the Question. = *
Below Is presented the views of Rep-
resentatives Dunbar and Covington,
leaders of the antis and prohis, re-
spectively, regarding the Georgia pro-
aibition bill: a
"Now that the bill bas passed there
fs very little use to discies it,” sald
Mr. Dunbar of ricnmond “until It
goes into eff<ct, when qll good citi-
zens will doubtles edo what they can
to give It a fair trial abd see if tt
can be made to succeeds :
“The provistons against sick people
obtaining anything but pure alcohol,
which is scarcely ever used, would
seme to me to be crue! and I’m afraid
will work great hardship, I belleve
a great majority of the intelligent phy-
sicians of dur state will agree with me
in this. We trled to, but could not
amend this. : ’
“As far as the feature of making
peaple, whom we have licensed for
years, close out thelr business in six
months,especially breweries, consider
that simply confiscation, andl could
not approve my state doing a thing I
would not do myself.
“The Dill will, of course, not pre:
vent the shipment of iquor iuto Geor-
gla—we canont ao that—and that is
the weal point in all such bills, They
simply Fromote the ehiyment from o:h-
er states Into Georgia, and encourage
secrét drinking, deception and blind
tigers — unless there {s, locally, an
overwhelming public sentiment in
thelr favor.” *
Judge Covintgon Talks.
“I, of course, consider the passage
of the state prohibi:ion bill the most
important acc in the history of the
state,” said Representative Covington.
“Ecenomically considered, It is’ of
more dmpertance than the in.roduction
into Georgia of a hundred thousand de-
sirable laborers, 7
“again, the south must cease to seit
‘liquor to negroes. This [5 the first step
in the solution of the great problems

Mfeand-death case .with the southern
people. * =
“in my oploion, the white people of
Georgia, cduld they have voted on the
measure, stripped of “everything else,
would, at any time during the past
ten years, have voted for the principle
of the bill by an overwhelming major-
ity,
| “We have given the state pronibi-
tion by the ‘painless process.’ There
may be some features in the bill that
will be found to be too drastic. If so,
we Will fix all that when we come here
again nex: summer.
“{ think there never, was such “con-
scientious action “on aby great meas:

JUDGE OUSTED HIMSELF.

Being Unfair and Biased.

of bias Attorneys could not agree on
a suitable man to try the case and
Robbing adjourned the court. The trial
‘will not proceed until Goveritor Beck-
ham appoints 2 new judge,
Judge Robbins’ decision followed the
filing of an affidavit by Powers alleg-
ing that Judge Robbins was prejudiced
and could not give bi ma fair trlat.
The conclusion came like a bompshed
in the camp of the prosecution and was
a great surprise to the defense.
Jude Robbins tgok up each allege:
tion of Powers and denied specificatiy
that they were true, but sald that ft
was too late to mar his réccrd aa

“He said that the statement to the

not Influence him against the defend-
ant, but that he was democrat and

LULL IN ATTACK ON TRUSTS.

trusts, has sailed for Europe for a

called tobacco monopoly. accompanies
‘Mr. Purdy on his European journey.
Only two more anti-trust suits
are in immediate contemplation. The
case against the Du Pont Powder
Corporation is in print, ready for the
final approval of the Attorney-Gen-
eral, and the papers in the case have
been submitted to him. The other
proposed action is against the In-
ternational Harvester Company,
which fs declared by the Government
officers to be a monopoly in restraint
of interstate commerce -
‘The Investigation of the Harves-
ter Company has never been com-
pleted, although the preliminary ex-
amination, which swas enough to sat-
isfy officers of the Department of Jus-
tice that some action should be taken
against the corporation. was com-
pleted some time ago. The prosecu-
tion of the Harvester Company may
possibly go over until the autumn.
Au experiment will be made iu the
suit against the Tobacco Compasy,
which 1s charged with violating the
Sherman law. -An injunction wil be
asked against it to prevent it engaz-
ing in Interstate commerce, and the
court will be asked to appoint a re-

* Falling Body. a
| Lowell. Mass»—Hearing a murder
‘over a telephone was the surprising
experience of Bernard J. Gately, a
constable, who heard the screams and
the shot’ when Mrs. Mary A. Me-
Bride, a milliner, was fatally attacked
in her office.
In her millinery: shop at No. 229
Dutton street, before her heipless
employes, Mrs. McBride was shot
down by 2 man, who rushed in, fired
a revolver at her and escaped.’ Tho
woman, at the St. John Hospital, re-
| gained ‘consciousness long enougir to
say:—"John Kelley shot me.”
‘The constable who had the re-
markable experience was some dis-
tance away at his office in the Cen-
tral Bullding.
He called the milliner by telephone
regarding a legal matter. ‘The voice
at-the other end of the wire an-
swered —"This is Mrs. McBride, and
I refer you to my‘kttorney, Daniel J.
Donahue" .
‘Then the tonstable heard a scuf-
fle and loud cries, “My God, don’t
shoot me! Don't shoot me!””
‘Then he heard clearly over the tel-
ephone a revolver shot, followed by a
woman's moaning, which grew faint-
er, until all was still.
Gately was paralyzed for a moment
at the unusual sounds over the wire,
but gathering his senses, rushed for
the millinery store.
He found Mrs. McBride lying un-
conscious with an ugly wound over
her right eye.
In one corner ‘was Miss Vanasse,
the milliner’s assistant, halt fainting
from the experience ‘and moaning
that Mrs. MeBride-kad been killed.
‘The ‘assistant explained that tho
shooting was. done by Jobn Kelley,
who was madiy in love with the mar-
ried woman. .
Kelley was fowid near the scene
ot the shooting and was arrested
charged withhattempt to murder.

‘Beauty Specialists Tell Women It

Many of us haye seen large
boys taking the advantage of
smaller ones. Soit is with the
vaunted superior (?) race;
having the reins of the govern.
ment intheic hands, yet they
areafraid of the colored people
and are deing so much to take
away rights from them that are
accorded to all citizens. Geor
gia is leading all of the states in
Tegislation of this kind.
As anticipated the prohibition
Jaw was enacted on Tuesday last
and as Gov. Smith has promised
tosign it, it will be effective Jan.
1, 1903. If enforced the law will
bea God send for the laboring
and sporty class of our people
Instead of spending hundreds of
@oliars during tie week for
‘the poisonous spirits, they will
be able to save more and take
better care of their health. 1f
the law is strictly enforced and
the blind tiger kept down, it
would benefit our people.
. Tie ‘recent sensation at the
University of Chieago growing
out of the discovery that Miss
Cecilia Johnson, a very brilliant
{student there, has Negro blood
in her veins, brought about an
investigation by the newspaper
reporters, of the standing of the
colored students in the Univer-
sity. The fact was brought out
that they rank yery high in
their studies, and that they were
noted for their good qualities as
workers. Thus are they much
in demana by those who patron-
ize the University Employment
Bureau. Special mention is
made of the honors and the titles
they have won. Prof. C, H. Tur-
ner of Clark University, Atlanta,
is especiully Iauded as taking
several degrees “magna com
laude.” The investigation was
made by the Chicago Daily
News.
‘Tire nefarious disfranchisement

wed the odth they took when they
promised to nphold the consti.
tution of the United States, re-
fusing to vote for a bill that
upon its faceisa flagrant viola
tion of the constitution of the
United States. These six trae
men have the unstiuted praise of
the colored citizens of Georgia,
and their honest conviction will
be commended by everybody
who is of an impartial mind. This
bill will be sent to the Tower

‘Ray Staxnaxp Bakxr and
The American Magazine aro still
showing-us that itis not impos-
sible for an unbiased writer
anda big magazine to follow
“the color line” and publish the|
trath. Perhaps these articles
have not pleased all pee con-
ceined, but it must be admitted
thatthey are written in a spirit
of fairness towards the Negro,
not always found in articles ot
these kind. These. studies of
Mr, Baker of conditions obtain-
inginthe North and South as
regards the white and colored
races, are calculated to bring
abput a better understanding be-
tween the races—and there will
be more real so-operstion, too.
The investigation has ‘been con-
fined largely to our own: State;
and Mr Baker is surprised to
find out that in 1906 we owned
1,400,000. acres and paid taxes
for over $28,000,000 worth, of
property—all of which, of course
we have acquired in the past
forty years. Those of us who
arenot reading these articles,
would find it interesting to read
them.
Aw old saw hasit that it is an
ill wind that blows nobody good
If prohibition in Georgia comes
asan ill wind to those engaged
in the business of selling spiri-
tuous liquors, it will perhaps
improve wonderfully the wretch-
ed condition of those who have
become alaves or little less than
slaves to strong drink. ‘The un-
fortunate thing about, it all, it
seems, is that the state haying
looked upon the liquor business
for many yearsas a legiti-
mate enierprise, and having
made a few of its important
funds dependent on ‘the
revenue coming from
this source, will sweeps away in
just five months this vast busi-
ness, therby throwing thousands
of people out employment, aud
throwing itself -too a little far-
ther in debt. No doubt several
weeks will past before these
thonsands find new employ-
ment and invested capital ad-
justs itself to new conditions.
Whether prohibition in Georgia
will do in the long run all that
is claimed for it remains of
course to be seen. But in the
meanwhile we do believe that
there will be a good tendency
among our people especially, to
save and increase their bank de-
posits, and that prohibition will
mean the breaking up of the
many low dives found in the
cities of Georgia.
In keeping with the Hoke
Smith spirit against the Negro
and the narrow attitude of Con-
gressman Edwards, two white
men, Langbell and Kirkland,
without cause, cowardly assault:
ed Mr. Chas. C. Deveaux, one of
the oldest mail carriers in the ser
vice on Saturday morning last.
Mr. Deveaux gave nu cause for
the assault. The cowardice ofthe
assailants was shown by their
vicious attack while Mr. De-
veaux’s back was turned to them
and was not expecting such.
The fellows were apprehended,
fined $25.00 each in the record-
er’s courtand bound over to the
city court. Warrants were also
sworn out against them before
United States Commissioner Elli-
ott. District Attorney Aker-
man was telegraphed for and he
came to personally. conduct the
case. A preliminary hearing was
had before Commissioner Elliott
on Wednesday and the two fel
lows were turned over to the
United States Court under two
charges of assaulting a mail car-
rier and obstructing the mail.
Each one of them is compelled to
give $500, for their appesr-
ance. For taking too readily to
the Hoke Smith and Edwards’
idea of the colored man, Mr.
Deveaux’s assailants will think
along time before assaulting
another person, We are glad to
note that Mr. Deveaux is much
impr ved an

As announced sometime ago in THE TRIBUNE. Rev. R. H. Thomas is now attending the summer conference at Northfield, Mass. These conferences were established by Dr. Dwight L. Moody, and are attended each year by those interested in religious researches. Rev. Thomas says of his trip:
"We reached New York on Saturday the 13th. I called to see old friends and left on Tuesday the 16th for Boston. I left Boston for Northfield on Thursday the 19th. Everything is very fine, but as yet I am the only representative of the race on the grounds, but the treatment is just the same. I had the honor of hearing a gentleman from England last night Rev. Dr. F. B. Meyer, D. D. He was fine indeed. His subject 'How to treat others, prompted by love, rather than duty.' Everybody look upon me as a Christian gentleman and not a Negro. It seem to me that I am in a new world altogether. It is like a dream to me. I hope to remain until the latter part of August.'"
The scores of friends of Rev. Thomas are glad to know of his interesting trip and his enjoyment of the same. He is to be commended for his anxiety for more knowledge, which will better prepare him for his life's work in the ministry.
Rev. Griffin's Death.
Shortly after 9 o'clock Thursday night last, Rey G. W. Griffin, D. D., breathed his last at his late residence Waldburg street, west.
The funeral will take place on Sunday morning from the First Bryan Baptist Church, of which he was pastor for about nineteen years.
Corcause, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. Davis, departed this life on Friday of last week. She had been ill for three months with typhoid fever, and was very patient during her illness. She was a very bright and affectionate little girl and was loved by all her friends and those who came in contact with her. She was fourteen years of age and all signs of becoming a useful and upright woman was shown at this youthful age.
Coreane was also a good little christian and died very happily and contented. Her last request was not to be buried in a hearse, she was buried openly in the undertaker's wagon giving a full view of the casket which was very handsome. The wagon was beautifully draped in white with vines and flowers, giving it a very unique appearance.
She was buried from St Augustine Church, Sunday afternoon. Rev. M. M. Weston officiating.
A mother, father, two sisters, five brothers and other relatives and friends are left to mourn the great loss.
The family has the deepest sympathy of friends.

Fashion Notes
1
New York City. - Present styles render a generous supply of guippes absolutely essential to every girl's wardrobe. Here is a model that can be utilized for lace, for embroidery,
1
for net or for lingerie material and which allows of a number of variations. In the illustration embroidered net is made with short sleeves that are held by bands of ribbons
1
above and below the elbows. But long sleeves can be substituted if better liked, and the guimpe can be either faced as illustrated or made of one material throughout. All sorts of pretty laces and embroidered nets are in vogue, while lingerie materials in themselves afford almost endless variety.
The guimpe is made with the front and plain backs. It can be faced with lace or other material to the cross or between vertical lines of perforations or can be made of the material throughout as liked. The elbow sleeves are gathered to form pretty puffs and terminate in becoming frills, while the long ones are joined to the deep cuffs. If lingerie material is used it can be tucked or trimmed in any way that may be liked before cutting, but lace, net and the like are usually preferred plain.
The quantity of material required for the sixteen-year size is one and a quarter yards of material thirty-six inches wide with two and three-eighth yards eighteen inches wide for the sleeve and facing to cross line, two and a half yards with facings between vertical lines of perforations; or, three and three-quarter yards eighteen, two and three-quarter yards twenty-seven or one and five-eighth yards forty-four inches wide if one material is used.
China Silk Ties.
The newest ties for line collars are made of finely striped China silk. Green; mauve, gray, brown and blue are to be seen in this conceit, pleated into bunchy rosettes, or double, butterfly bows. No end chic is this neck dressing with the fashionable turnovers.
Banding For Rajah.
Oriental banding seems quite a proper finish for a frock or Rajah.
When Trying on a Hat.
In buying a hat it should always be tried on before a mirror that shows the whole figure, so that the general effect may be seen. This rule would spoil many a sale at the milliner's, and save the feeling of bitter disappointment so often experienced when the creation that seemed so fascinating in the shop is tried on at home.
Sun-Bonnets in Two Styles.
Sun-bonnet: are always quaint and picturesque in effect and just now are being greatly worn for golf, for gardening and for every outdoor occupation. Indeed women of all ages, from the little tots to their grand-mothers, are guarding their complexions a bit carefully just now and these attractive and quaint head coverings make the best possible aid to such results. Lawn, batiste, linen, duck, dotted Swiss muslin and all similar materials are used. Both white and colored materials are in vogue, and some very charming effects are obtained by the use of Dresden dilimites and similar simple figured stuffs. Two styles are shown in the illustration, one with and one without the cape at the back of the neck. In addition to serving for all the uses mentioned the bonnets will be found 'admirable for motoring, when they protect the head from
1
wind as well as the face from the sun. Each bonnet is made with a wide brim and a soft full crown, which is attached thereto,'the one crown being extended across the back, the other being made in one with the cape. The quantity of material required
```markdown
```
for the medium or misses' size is seven-eighth yard twenty-seven or five-eighth yard thirty-seven inches wide for either style, with one and three-eighth yards of edging for the bonnet without the cape, two and three-quarter yards with the cape.
Straggling Patterns.
Quite straggling patterns in motifs of chrysanthemums, carnations or five-pointed, starlike, floral figures are favorites, and thread designs are especially good just now.
Bolero Shaped Yoke.
The house gown that is cut with a bolero-shaped yoke, to which the body of the gown is gathered, is especially suited to the woman with slender figure.
The Demeanor of Lawyers
Br JUSTICE W. J. GAXNOR.
Much harm is done to law students by sending them out with exaggerated notions about others and the examples they are to follow. They are told that Erskine, Scarlett, Webster, Rufus Choate, Evarts, O'Connor, and so on, never lost a case, or soldom, when they probably lost more than they won; for as a lawyer's ability and fame grow more difficult cases come to him. Butler prevailed over Choate right along after he got under way as a young man. And a false notion is conveyed about orators and oratory. They are pictured as phenomenal. You are told, for instance of the Godlike Webster, and his towering presence. But the late Senator Hoar tells us in his memoirs that Webster weighed only 167 pounds, and was only five feet ten inches high. He was of quiet and ordinary appearance, and even sluggish, unless aroused. In the trial of a lawsuit he was methodical and painstaking to the last degree. He relied on the facts and the law, and not on the mere use of words. Without the facts words are useless.
The requisites of oratory are, first, the matter; second, the man of probity and character behind the matter, and last and least, the manner of delivery. If the matter and the man be not there, your orator is not there, however brilliant his rhetoric. I do not depreciate a good delivery. But a mere rhetorician is not an orator. There is a vast difference between a rhetorician and an orator. If there be the matter and the man and a fair delivery, you have the orator. But the most brilliant delivery without the matter and the man does not make the orator. Most of the great orators of the world have not been brilliant speakers, but only fairly good speakers. You need to know all of this so as not to attempt too much in speaking. Do not try too hard. Be plain and simple. If your subject naturally leads you to some warmth and vehemence at certain points, let it be in due proportion. But do not keep it up all the time. Remember that the ocean never lashes itself into a tempest merely to waft a feather or drown a fly.
Read' and memorize Hamlet's speech to the players. If you understand your subject you will make others understand it, and that is the all-essential thing. Lawyers who are merely gib are a bore. They talk as though they had been to a feast of languages and stolen the scraps, but they say nothing and do no good. They weary every one. Do not try to be overpolished in speech or manner. It palls. If any one recommend that you practice oratory before a mirror, say to liln lay. No one guilty of such foolery could have the genuine heart and nature which are essential to an orator. The orator is more rugged than polished. My experience is that able men are, as a rule, simple in manner and ordinary in appearance.
Cicero tells you what an ordinary looking man Caesar was as he sat adjusting his hair so nicely and scratching his head with one finger. No one would suspect the vast designs he was capable of conceiving and accomplishing. The Almighty seldom puts a large mind in an imposing exterior, and never in a pompous one. Use simple words, always of one syllable instead of two if you can get them. Cultivate condensation and brevity of speech. If one word suffice, do not use two, and courts and juries will bless you and you will grow in fame. Nay, more, the power of silence itself is often beyond that of words.
Be natural and courteous to the court and your opponent, but not servile or effusively polite, for that is offensive and the greatest of impoliteness. Be natural. Do not try to be witty. It is annoying. If you have the faculty of wit it will now and then show itself naturally. And, of all things, never be pompous. The able lawyer who goes into his case simply will grow larger all through it while his pompous adversary grows smaller all the while. The contrast is ludicrous to judge and jury, and sometimes painful.
Be a man first and a lawyer second. Do not become in appearance and manner a mere parchment, lawyer. You can avoid this by devoting yourself to general literature as well as the law. Read the Bible, Shakespeare, Bacon, Milton and your classics, and, when tired, the great book of Cervantes, which will soil and amuse as long as the world lasts; also Gil Blas and the autobiography of Denvenuto Cellini. Read history, especially the philosophy of history, like Draper's "Intellectual Development of Europe," Lecky's "European Morals" and "Emil Reich's "Success Among Nations." Study political economy, beginning with Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations"—that master of moral and political wisdom, as Gibbon calls him. Also, if you have had a taste for mathematics, do not let it die out. Go over your Euclid, and even your conic sections, again. In this way you will broaden your mind and become strong and cogent as a man and a lawyer, instead of degenerating into a mere parchment lawyer, in face, heart and soul.
Umbrella Flirtation.
An umbrella carried over the woman, the man getting nothing but the drippings of the rain, signifies courtship. When the man has the umbrella and the woman the drippings it indicates marriage.—Human Life.
The cost of Russian caviar, a delicacy made from sturgeon roe, is rapidly advancing.
FOR THE FARMER AND STOCKMAN
What the Hog Needs.
Do not keep hogs in a little, confined place where they will get no exercise. The hog does want soil, but not filth, and they need a bedroom, a place to exercise and plenty of sunlight. If they have sunlight, exercise and good treatment there is every reason to believe that they will make a profit for their owner—Weekly Witness.
trouble and expense. I had heard that raising a crop of turnips would kill it out. I hardly believed it, but thought I would try a small part of it.
So in one corner where the grass was the thickest I sowed in drills of Sweet German turnips. The result was that the next year, although the other parts of the field were full of it, on that spot it was killed out.
A Poultry Pointer.
The principal breeds to be considered as stricly market and broiler birds are the Brahms, Cochlin and Langshans, as they attain the greatest size either as broilers or as matured fowls, but there is no half way ground, if not slaughtered at broiler age, nine or ten weeks, they will not be again fit for the block until nearly matured, as from broiler age to near maturity they grow a large frame without putting on much of any meat or fat. In fact, while growing it is almost impossible to fatten them.—Weekly Witness.
A Ration For: Sitters.
Feed the sitting hens once a day, compelling them to leave their nests so as to dust their bodies and make preparation for another day's stay. It is not necessary that sitting hens be given as much as they can consume, as their inactivity does not conduce to a great demand for food; but a ration consisting of one part ground meat, one part cornmeal and three parts cracked corn should supply their wants until the chicks are hatched, when the hens should then be given a variety.—Farmers' Home Journal.
A mess of bran is always beneficial to fowls. Bran contains more phosphates and mineral matter than ground grain, and also assists in regulating the bowels. This is true especially when a quantity of linseed meal is given with it, but in the warm season a mess three times a week is sufficient. It may be fed by scalding it and feeding it in a trough, or by sprinkling it dry on a clean board or over cooked potatoes and turnips. No other grain should be given if bran is allowed during the summer season, especially if the fowls have a large range. In fact, no grain is necessary at all during a warm season, but should such food be given, let it be dry bran—Farmers' Home Journal.
Foreign Wool For America.
Word comes from Australia that at the closing wool trade for the season in that country, active buying was noticed for all grades of wool for this country. The Australian production during the season has been the largest on record, and all round prices have ruled high, says the London Live Stock Journal. During the past ten years the sales in Australia, apart from the wool exported for sale in England and the continent, have increased from 775,000 to 1,288,000 bales. Apart from the wool sold in New Zealand, which amounted to 153,000 bales, the Australian sales reached a total of 1,441,625 bales, an increase of 157,000 bales as compared with last year.
This is one indication of the demand for the new clip in this country when ready for the market.
Top Grafting.
Sclons for top grafting should be cut at once, if not already done, and kept from drying. Select the large sticks of last year's growth, having prominent buds. The best part to use is the centre of the sclon; the tips may be too pithy and the bottom end deficient in good buds. Cherries must be grafted early—long before the sap flows in March; plums soon after. The best time to graft apples and pears is just as the sap starts, but this may be done before and is successful until the leaf buds begin to open, if the sun is not hot enough to cause the wax to run and open the cuts to the air. Thrifty branches from one to two inches in diameter are the most satisfactory to top graft. Two sclons should be set into each stub, and where the sclon is not pinched in tight the stock must be lashed with cotton string or raffa. In grafting a tree of bearing size, not over one-half of the top should be cut away the first year, but all the top of a young tree may be removed. All cut surfaces, including the upper end of the sclon and the cracks in the stock, must be covered with wax to prevent exposure to air and drying. A good wax is made of one pound of rendered tallow, two pounds of beeswax and four pounds of resin melted together, and while hot poured into cold water and then pulled, as candy is pulled, until smooth and free from grain. The hands should be greased with tallow to prevent sticking.—Country Gentleman.
Turnalps Killed Witch Grass.
One of the worst pests, if you do not know.how to get rid of it,but one of the easiest to get rid of if you know how. I had a piece of one acre that caused me a good deal of
trouble and expense. I had heard that raising a crop of turnips would kill it out. I hardly believed it, but thought I would try a small part of it.
So in one corner where the grass was the thickest I sowed in drills of Sweet German turnips. The result was that the next year, although the other parts of the field were full of it, on that spot it was killed out. I took more of the field for turnips the next year and kept adding until I cleared the field of it. Now, was not that a better way than your correspondent suggested of digging it out by the roots at great cost? I have had the same results with cabbage.
If the land is a sandy soil put in turnip, if clayey put in cabbage. The beauty of this plan is that we have no extra work to kill it out. Simply hoe the turnip and cabbage properly and you get rid of the grass.
My theory is that hooing these crops the last time in August, if it is properly done, cuts off the grass at a time when it kills it. At any rate, I know that if farmers will do as I have done they will get rid of it at no extra cost. The acre that I speak of is now the easiest to work of any on the farm. Of course we have some of it left on the headlands, and we have to watch or the plow will take some of it into the field. I think if farmers will try my plan they will thank me for this advice.—H. A. Turner, in the American Cultivator.
Helps in Farm Work.
I have handled horses all my life and never yet had to give one a beating to make him act as I wanted him to. If I found I had that kind of a horse on my hands I always sold him.

You may think you are a pretty good farmer, but do not be too liberal with your advice. Most people don't like it, because it is cheap. My father gave me a rebuke once which I have never forgotten. He noticed me standing talking to a lady with my hat on and hands in my pockets. He said nothing at the time, but at the dinner table casually told mother that he had seen a boy doing just these things. Mother said she was very much surprised, and that was enough. If you can possibly afford it, keep one horse for your wife's use, and let nobody else ride or drive it.
Sulphate of Iron For Moss.
Many persons are perplexed by the appearance of moss in their lawns, Usually this appears when the lawn gets very little sun. Moss also forms when the soil is sour and badly drained, and then when this has been done, apply heavy dressings of soot or lime—both quite fresh. Do this in showery weather, so that they will soon be washed in. The lime and soot should kill the moss, which should be raked off with an iron rake. Spread some fine soil over all, and then sow some, fine grass seed, protecting from birds, if need be.
You might also try the following remedy, which has been found very efficacious in the destruction of moss: Get some sulphate of iron and mix it in the proportion of one pound of sulphate to two gallons of water. The solution should be made in a wooden sack, putting the plain water into the cask first, and then adding the solution. Then get a rosed watering pot and apply the mixture to the lawn over a space of fifteen square yards. It should be applied as soon as made, as it loses strength by keeping. It should also be made with soft or rain water, avoiding, if you can, water in which there is lime. The sulphate is known to be acting when the moss turns black, after which it withers away and crumbles into powder. If it has been too weak, the moss will only turn red, and another application is necessary. As moss generally indicates poorest of soil, it will be requisite after the moss is destroyed to apply a top dressing of loamy soil, manure and wood-ashes—Indianapolis News.

'for Catarrh?
Should a list of the ingredients of Peruna be submitted to any medical expert, of whatever school or nationality, he would be obliged to admit without reserve that each one of them was of undoubted value in chronic catarrhal diseases, and had stood the test of many years' experience in the treatment of such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHATEVER. Peruna is composed of the most efficacious and universally used herbal remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient of Peruna has a reputation of its own in the entire of some phase of catarrh.
Peruna brings to the home the GUM-BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treatment of catarrhal diseases; brings to the home the scientific skill and knowledge of the modern pharmacist; and last but not least, brings to the home the vast and varied experience of Dr. Hartman, in the use of catarrhal remedies, and in the treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a disease which is very prevalent. Many thousand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited doctors over and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catarrh. It may be of the nose, throat, lungs, stomach or other internal organ. There is no doubt as to the nature of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has tried to cure them. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO BRING ANY RELIEF. Dr. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh remedy can be made on a large scale, as he is making it; that it can be made honestly, of the purest drugs and of the strictest uniformity. His idea is that this remedy can be supplied directly to the people, and no more be charged for it than is necessary for the handling of it. No other household remedy so universally advertised carries upon the label the principal active constituents, showing that Peranna invites the full inspection of the critics.

THE PULPIT.
AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. F. BOYD EDWARDS.
Subject: Personality.
Williamstown, Mass.—The Rev. F. Boyd Edwards, assistant pastor of the South Congregational Church, Brooklyn, who graduated from the college here seven years ago, was the college preacher Sunday. His subject was: "Personality—Its Influence and Secret." The text was from I Thessalonians, 5:23: "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus, Christ." Mr. Edwards said:
Huxley declared that if some great power would guarantee to enable him always to speak what is true and do what is right, on condition of his being turned into a sort of clock and wound up every morning, he would instant close with the offer. Would you I think one man in a hundred would. Why not? Because we have instinctive aversion to violence to the greatest thing in the world. And what is that? Drummond said "Love." Let us look at it a little.
Consider Helen Kellar, born to imprisonment in the dungeon of her own mere selfhood — deaf, blind, mute. Miss Sullivan, by patient and inspired service, released her from that imprisonment, led her slowly out into the light and glory of life. The something which made Miss Sullivan eager and able to render this beautiful service was love. But in point of greatness even that high and beneficent quality is absolutely incomparable with Helen Kellar herself. The greatest thing in the world is personality. Love is but a part of it, supplementing and crowning its parts, its beauty and majesty of physique, its rigor and grit and courage, all mental keenness, reach, grasp and decision, all the graces of mind and heart, high spiritual vision and deep insight, all purity, dignity and serene poise of spirit. These combine to make what we name personality.
Look about you in a railway carriage, a hotel lobby, a great college grandstand. Your eye passes lightly over 100 men. The one hundred and first holds it. You may not know who he is, nor ever have seen him before, but 'straightway you say to yourself, he is somebody. Something about him distinguishes him, gives the evident value significance, like the evident value personality and that something is personality and that self-revealing. Take Webster, for instance. They said when he walked in Beacon street the houses looked smaller. Sidney Smith called him the greatest living lie, because nobody could possibly be so great as he looked. Edward Everett declared that when he was earnestly speaking sparks of fire leaped in his eyes. A bust of him, exhibited by a European sculptor, was mistaken for a head of a note how Emerson says that 'William' wrote to Emerson says that 'William' wrote to Emerson subject away from the King of England.
every time he put off his hat," so noble was his hearing. A Boston newspaper reported that on a certain day Washington street was dark and gloomy, until Phillips Brooks passed, whereupon the brightness returned. One might have profited almost as much as of so many sons-in-arms as by reading his books. Just glimpses of Napoleon at the hour of battle doubled the fighting force of those who saw him. Often one can tell by the author's likeness in the frontispiece of a book whether it's worth while to go any further. The halo in art is far more than a mechanical contrivance to denote sainthood. It witnesses to the fact that true men carry an atmosphere; they are fairly luminous. The captain of an army of virtue, takes rank not by virtue of sunny clothing or technical knowledge of the game, but because there is about him a quality which makes his vim and spirit contagious.
Church committees looking for a new minister pass by a score of possible eligibles and choose the twenty-first. The others were as good preachers, as thorough scholars, as faithful pastors, but the elect one possesses this rare and compelling something we call magnetism, which is but a vague term indicating personality. The speaker who possesses it often influences his audience almost as much, while he stands silent before them for a moment, as during the speech he is speaking. This is the reality which forces the ing: "You have to like Mr. Roosevelt after you have met him." Personality!—no other creation equals or approaches it. Indeed, when Jehovah accreditd Moses as His ambassador to the court of Pharaoh, He commanded as the chief authority: "Tell him I Am sent you."
Now, then, since personality is the greatest thing in the world, what is the chief duty of man? I answer, deliberately: To honor, develop, express and invest that personality. This is not egotistic and selfish. God gave man this personality as his tool, the finest, noblest, chief implement with which to make his mark on the world, serve his kind and honor his Maker. When the old bishop of the Methodist Church was examining a group of candidates for the ministry, he asked them: "Are you willing to be a nobody in Christ's service?" And every last one of them plausily (as he thought) answered yes, "Then you're a poor lot!" exclaimed the bishop, and so they were. That is a humble and soulful which is not Christian, because it is not only unproductive, but contemptible. Christ's man should be willing to take any humble station, but wherever he may be, always determined by God's grace so to live, to labor, to fight, and to pray that as the servant of the Most High he shall weigh every ounce he can, strike blows that hit hard, and mean to his time all that he can possibly signify.
Being a Christian man is being all a man can be. Holiness is near kin to haleness, which means health, and haleness close kin to wholeness, which means integrity, soundness, completeness. Christian life is not
giving up, but growing up; not lopping off, but looming up. Its true note is not ascetic, but athletic, and when Christ announced that He came that men might have, life more abundantly, He did not mean longer life, but life overflowing, rich in content with far horizons and wide outlook. He was the Browning emphasizes when he says: God gives each man one life, like a lamp. Then gives that lamp due measure of oil; Lamp lighted, hold high, ware wide.
All very fine, you say, for the man who happens to have been endowed with personality! But how about the hundred men who do not strike an observer as being somebody, who haven't the gift of personal magnetism? Well, my answer is that personality is not all endowment; it may be acquired, or more accurately yet, developed. When the spring comes and the sun's rays fall more warmly, the grass and leaves begin to grow. There are seeds in the ground and some leaves to stirred. The sun might shine a million years, hot as midsummer, and without those seeds lying there waiting, no fair garment of verdure would ever clothe the bare, brown body of earth. And vice versa. Just so, we notice now and again a former stenographer and private secretary to presidents becomes a Cabinet officer. Partly it is from native endowment, and partly from the wakening influence of association with great men. Character is not taught, but caught; not fully inborn, nor springing, full armed, like Minerva from Jove's head, but wakened, roused, kindled by the contagious touch of another of a little longer development and man of larger growth. We after all this is the fundamental truth of life. Every man is of unique value, has a rare gleam of virtue for his own, his point of view, his individual work and message, which no other man can have had. His business in life is to live that out, build it up, utter it, make it effective.
How shall he do it? By getting out where the sun can strike down to those seeds that are waiting in him; that means: make helpful friendships, keep high company with men who have deeps and heights about them. Read Paul's prayer written to the men in Thessalonica: "The very God of peace sanctify you wholly (set you apart, distinguish you in every great way), and I pray God your whole body, soul and spirit be kept without blemish even in the presence of Christ. Faithful is he who hath promised, who also will do it." Just to this point was Emerson speaking when he said: "Follow God, and where you go men shall think they walk in hallowed cathedrals." Phillips Brooks puts it: "The influence of a man whose heart God hath touched is like a breeze of fresh air let into a heated and stifling room. You are a man of a bodily-body, a mind and spirit. Let God light them (most likely He has already); now you turn them up; keep them trimmed, let them blaze wherever you are, throwing out your cheer, your light, your beacon message in your time. Then, "as one flame kindle another nor growth less thereby," so shall your life kindle, waken, rouse others.
In every-day terms, what does it mean? My body; honor it, build it up, keep it undishonored. By noble uses, make it to become a sanctuary. Build thee more stately mansions, oh my soul.
While the swift seasons roll, Leave they low-vaulted past. Leave thee temple nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven by a done more vast.
vast.
Till thou at length art free.
Leaving thine outgrown shell
By life's unresting sea.
My mind; meditate, store it with true thoughts, pure thoughts, thoughts fit to treasure up; let it keep company with the noblest men of the ages, whose wisdom, vision and profitable experience may be made my own by an hour's reading every day; let me prepare myself to recognize, appreciate, respond to and succeed the truest, most devoted and helpful spirits of all the days past and present, and finally keep my eyes on the stainless peaks where Christ is.
My spirit; how great a word it is! All generous impulses, all chivalrous motives, all noble aspirations, all love of beauty and truth and goodness; every hatred of weakness and wrong, every fine portrait of memory and all ideal. Oh, match this spirit and all best! We ask to Him who knows what is in man, and who alone has grace to bestow and loving power of mastery to develop your unawakened best. And always remember how He-reckons in the yearnings, the unuttered and unutterable aspirations there:
All instincts immature, all purposes, unsure.

Special Anointings.
If Jesus was anointed to preach the gospel, how much more do we in these modern times need a special touch of the Spirit of God for this work! I believe one ought not to teach a Sunday-school lesson, or sing a song, much less preach a sermon, without waiting for a special annoting of the Holy Spirit of God. It is this experience which has made men like the apostle the last. It was the secret of Finney's power, and it will be the secret of the power of anyone who lives to-day. Each day's needs, writes J. Wilbur Chapman, require the daily infilling which the quiet hour supplies.
When Every Man Must Stand Alone.
Whosoever will go to heaven must have faith of his own. In Gildeon's camp every soldier had his own pitcher; among Solomon's men of valor every one wore his own sword; and these were they that got the victories. The five wise virgins had every one of in her lamp; and only these went in with the bridegroom. Another's eating of dainty meat makes thee none the fatter.—T. Adams.

UP-TO-DATE TEACHERS.
Since June 1, 1906, 256 letters have reached President Branson at Athena, Gn, calling for teachers and offering salaries all the way from $40 a month to $1283 a year. The call is for well-trained teachers; they want graduates of the School. This demand has brought to the State Normal School a great number of other schools,—124 last year. There were graduates of Emory College, Wesleyan College, Lucy Cobl Institute, Brenau, Butler M. & P. College, Piedmont Institute, Chevy Chase College (D. C.), Peabody Normal College, and many other schools. Home economics and sciences, manual arts, elementary agriculture, and other courses, thus preparing themselves for a step upward and forward. Then, too, there were 166 students who had already been teaching, but who felt the need to splendidly equip the class with the libraries, the laboratories, and the Practice School. This Practice school building and its handsome equipment were given to the School by George Toster Peabody. In the Practice School there are 120 children, eight grades, eight teachers and as many in the school in the South. In the Normal School there are 186 students who earned the money they spent there. There is not a more earnest, faithful student-body in existence anywhere. Students of improper or unworthy spirit are quietly and the quietly officers and officers of the School live with the students, and the oversight is as kindly and constant as life in the home.

Overheated Steel.
Microsopic study is adding much to our knowledge of the properties of steel. It has recently been shown, for example, that there is an important difference between steels rolled or annealed, below a temperature of about 750 degrees centigrade and those annealed at higher temperatures, which are thought to have been overheated. They do not endure "fatigue" so well as those annealed at the lower temperatures. The permanent and injurious microsopic strains are more minutely subdivided and more uniformly distributed in the less heated steels, and this fact is regarded as explaining their superior ability to endure "fatigue."—Youth's Companion.

Georgia Cullings
Curtalled Items of Interest Gathered at Random.
The annual convention of the Georgia State Agricultural Society will be held at Carrollton August 21 and 22. The usual dates of meeting would be the 14th and 15th, but, on account of the legislature being in session, Governor Smith, who will have a leading place on the program, could not attend. The dates have therefore been postponed one week. Carrollton will welcome the delegates with open homes, and the meeting promises to be one of the largest in point of attendance and general interest in many years.
To Build Connecting Links.
Within the next twelve months, unless something now unforeseen intervenes, the links necessary to connect Augusta, Ga., by rail with Madison, Fla., will have been completed, and the road in operation.
John Skelton Williams, who had done so much for the development of the coast through the medium of the Seaboard Air Line, is authority for the statement that the funds necessary to build the connecting links between the Georgia and Florida systems between Augusta and Madison, Fla., have been secured. Fully $5,000,000 will be required to complete this work.
Gives Johnson 800 Acres.
Engineer L. W. Roberts of Atlanta, who was appointed by exGovernor Terrell to locate the line between Laurens and Johnson counties, has completed his work. His decision, according to the maps in possession, gives to Johnson county about 800 acres of land that has heretofore been claimed by Laurens county, and which county has received the taxes therefrom.
The recent survey shows that the Tarbutton-Tyre tragedy, which brought on the dispute, was in Johnson county. Up to the present time, law, tradition and even the Johnson county map gave this territory to Laurens. It has been in the possession of Laurens since 1809, ninety-eight years.
Farmers Plan Town.
A model town, with a big factory for the manufacture of farm implements, will be built by the Georgia division of the Farmers' Union, about ten miles from Atlanta, if plans now being made are carried to a successful termination.
The business agents of the union have already secured a part of this land, and have options on the balance of the 300 acres necessary. The location is at the junction of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic and the Atlanta and West Point roads, and it is considered a model place for such an enterprise.
Already the members of the Farmers' Union in Georgia own the stock of the Carmichael Implement company at Fairburn, and it is this plant that will be moved to the new location.
Federal Pure Food Officer.
A new federal office will be created at Atlanta within the next month or so, as a result of the stringent pure food laws, recently enacted. The enforcement of these laws is left to the United States department of agriculture, and they are so numerous in the special taxes and fines they provide for that it will be necessary for Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson to have the government represented at all large cities by a special agent or commissioner.
The business of this official will be similar to that of the present revenue agent. In addition to collecting taxes he will keep a sharp eye on the territory under his charge, for the purpose of detecting violations of the pure food law. When he discovers such violations it will be his business to bring them to the attention of the district attorney's office. This office will then investigate the charges, and, if advisable, have the offender indicted by the grand jury.
Pure Food Checks in Demand. . In anticipation of, the pure food law the department of agriculture at the state capitol has been flooded with requests and checks from various manufacturers without the state, who are anxious to brand all consignments of food stuffs shipped into this state properly, and are ordering the special stamps for this purpose, in advance.
In explaining this law, Captain Wright, assistant commissioner of agriculture, says: "Instead of selling tags for inspection of food stuffs, as is now the case with fertilizers and cotton meal, sold in the state, we are issuing inspection stamps, at the rate of twenty cents a ton to be placed on all food stuffs sold in Georgia. The price on fertilizer inspections is ten cents a ton, at present. We are going out to see that all food stuffs shipped into Georgia are as pure as
the specifications filed with us claim.
"Under this head oils used as con-
diments will be tested. The large quan-
tity of olive oil, sold and used as a
condiment, is nothing but our own
pure cotton seed oil under a French
brand. We contend that cotton oil is
purer and better from a vegetable
standpoint than olive oil, and this
inspection will make each oil stand on
its own merits."
No Booze; 'No Conventions.
There will be a dearth of con-
vention in Atlanta in 1908. In 1907, there
were twenty-five national conventions
held in Atlanta. In 1906 there were
thirty conventions; in 1903 twenty-five
convention; in 1904 twenty-one
conventions; in 1903 fifteen conventions.
The conventions of 1907 netted the city of Atlanta approximately $135,000,000. The bulk of this money went to the hotels and boarding houses of the city. With no conventions in sight and no effort on the part of hotel men to secure any, the prospects are very slim for the year 1908 in this direction.
The hotel men assign as a reason for the dearth of conventions the fact that prohibition will be effective at that time. Several conventions which were to have been held in Atlanta have been called off. All of them assigned prohibition as the cause.
But the hotel men are making their principal complaint over the loss of Sunday business. The lessee of the Pledmont hotel, of which Governor Smith is part owner, estimates that prohibition will cause his hotel to lose 4,000 guests during the year, a loss of at least $40,000 to the hotel and the city. The loss to the other hotels will be proportionate.
Farmers' Union Resolutions
Following are the resolutions unanimously adopted by the Georgia Farmers' Union in their annual convention in Atlanta opposing foreign immigration:
"Whereas, the practicability of inducing immigrants into our state is being agitated, and believing that the policy will prove detrimental to the best interests, material, social, moral and religious, of our state; and,
"Whereas, we have learned from actual experience that this foreign element, as a class, is unreliable in character, degraded in morals, anarchistic in principle and dangerous to the peace and order of society and the welfare of the republic; therefore, be it
"Resolved, That the Farmers' Union of Georgia is irrevocably opposed to foreign immigration and raises its voice. in protest against the iniquitous policy of encouraging it.
"Be it further resolved. That the Farmers' Union will stand as a bulwark against the mighty floodtide of immigration that is pouring into our land from across the Atlantic, the pauper and criminal element from the crowded centers of Europe, and from across the Pacific the more worthless Mongolian from the Orient; and be it further
"Resolved, That it is our unalterable purpose to hold this goodly land, purchased with the blood of our forefathers, as a priceless heritage for ourselves, and to transmit it as a rich legacy to our children and our children's children."
VENEZUELA MAKES ANSWER.
Refuses Absolutely to Arbitrate Five American Claims.
The foreign office at Caracas has handed over to the American minister, W. W. Russell, the answer of the Venezuelan government to the second note of Secretary Root regarding the arbitration of five American claims. The government persists in its refusal to arbitrate the claims in question.
The answer may lead to the severing of diplomatic relations between Venezuela and the United States.
ROWLANDS STAY IN JAIL
Doctor and Wife Refused Freedom on Habeas Corpus. The application for release by Dr. and Mrs. D. S. Rowland upon habeas corpus proceedings has been refused by Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Connor at Raleigh, N. C. He announced that, as the burden was on the Rowlands to show their innocence of the charge of the murder of Charles Strange, Mrs. Rowland's former husband, and that as this had not been done, he remanded them to fall for the next term of court.
JAPS DISARM KOREANS.
They Also Separate Deposed Emperor from His Advigers.
Advices from Seoul state that more than 7,000 troops arrived at Fusan on Friday afternoon to accomplish the disarming of the Korean army as well as the separation of the ex-emperor from his advisers. Arrangements have been made with the railway authorities to transfer 4,000 blue jackets from the squadron at Chemulpo, which the admiralty has offered Marquets Ito.
With Our Lawmakers
With the obvious intention of preventing any possibility of a billburst growing out of future legislation, Mr. Burwell of Hancock introduced a resolution in the house Saturday morning changing the rules and holding the house right down to "the main question." Rules 31, 63 and 69, which have to do with the order of house debate, are so amended as to prevent the continuous calling for the aye and nay vote, and the consequential explanation of the voters.
If the bill by Mr. Barrow of Chatham, introduced in the house Saturday morning during the session which lasted just an hour, becomes a law all veterans of the Spanish-American war, the Philippines insurection and the Boxer uprising living in Georgia will be added to the pension list of the state. This bill was read the first time and created considerable comment among the representatives who were present. Owing to the absence of the Western and Atlantic committee and their friends on a tour of inspection of the state road's property between Atlanta and the terminus at Chattanooga, there was a very slim attendance, and only bills of a local nature were passed and a few general bills read for the first time.
The removal of the experiment station from Griffin to Athens has been decided upon by the general agricultural committee of the house. A large majority of the committee voted, after extended debate, that the bill of Mr. Price of Oconee, providing or the removal of the station to Athens on January 1, 1909, be reported with the recommendation that it pass. The bill will be vigorously fought on the floor of the house by Mr. Boyd of Spalding and the members of the surrounding counties as well as others who favor the present central location of the station. Under the terms of the bill, the $30,000 fund annually appropriated by the United States government for the support of the experiment station will be transferred to the new $100,000 agricultural college, a branch of the University of Georgia. The committee also favorably reported the bill of Chairman Martin of Elbert, increasing the price of fertilizer tags from 10 to 25 cents per ton, the revenue thus derived—which is estimated at $150,000—to be appropriated for the maintenance of the eleven congressional district agricultural schools.
What promises to revolutionize the system of examining and checking up banks in Georgia will be effected in this state when the bill to create a bureau of banking, as passed by the house Monday, is enacted into a law. This bill is the evolution of an exhaustive study by the leading bankers of the state and was especially recommended by the legislative committee of the Georgia Bankers' Association.
By a vote of seventeen to sixteen the senate Monday refused to reconsider its action in passing the Candler-Overt street railroad commission bill, so amended as not to increase the membership to five instead of three as at present.
With only one dissenting vote, the house committee on railroads recommended the passage of the Candler bill. J. Hill Hall of Bibb cast the only dissenting vote against the favorable report on the bill. He will lead the fight in the house on that provision of the bill increasing the number of commissioners from three to five members.
Two very important bills were favorably reported by the general judiciary committee Wednesday afternoon when the measures, by Mr. Burt of Fannin and Mr. Hardeman of Jefferson, received the stamp of approval from this body. It is provided in Mr. Burt's bill that in the future all pleas as to insanity shall be made and the prisoner tried upon this plea before the general pleading as to the guilt or innocence of the prisoner is entered upon. After this trial the trial as to the culpability of the defendant is undertaken. This will stop all pleas of "not guilty; crazy at the time or since the act" was committed." The bill by Mr. Hardeman was prompted by the many crimes attempted in the state, and the fact that light punishments were being meted out, under the present law, to those offenders who only attempt but do not accomplish their evil designs. According to his bill an assault with intent to rape is to be made punishable with death but life imprisonment upon the recommendation to the mercy of the court.
The Joe Hill Hall anti-pass bill came up for consideration in the house Wednesday during the full session of that body, but was temporarily tabled pending the printing of it for distribution among the members, and
was made the special continuous order for August 6, immediately after the confirmation of the journal. Coincident with this decision the house ordered printed 300 copies of the substitute for this measure, which was offered with a minority report from the railroad committee, which reported favorably the Hall bill. This same committee at first reported favorably the substitute. It was recommitted to that committee by the house and the second hearing resulted in a close vote in favor of the Hall bill, and this time this bill was reported favorably. The main points of difference between the two measures are that the Hall bill provides that no city, county or state officials or nominated candidate shall accept any courtesy from any railroad, express, telegraph or telephone company not given to all alike. The substitute provides that no person except paid employees of these corporations shall be extended privilege courtesies. This substitute makes the state law what is now the Hepburn national law. It is expected the bill will precipitate the liveliest kind of debate.
GOVERNOR SMITH. LOSES $60,000
New Georgia Prohibition Measure Will Hit His Hotel Hard.
When Governor Hoke Smith affixes his signature to the Georgia prohibition bill it will be to deprive himself of $60,000. It is said that the governor will lose that sum because under prohibition the bar of the Piedmont hotel, the finest in Atlanta, will be closed. The lease calls for a lowering in rent if prohibition closes the bar. Governor Smith owns one-third of the Piedmont hotel and as the total reduction because of prohibition will be $180,000, the governor will sign away just $60,000.
A POWERFUL ARGUMENT
Presented by Six States Anent Dis-
franchisement. Save Atlanta Journal
transnishment, says Atlanta Journal.
The Atlanta Journal says: The experience of six other southern states stands out as a powerful argument in favor of the adoption of the Williams disfranchisement bill by the Georgia legislature, if further argument were needed to support the unmistakable demand of the white, people of Georgia. More than 100,000 white Georgians of voting age have gone on record as favoring the disfranchisement of the venal and vicious, ignorant and filiterate negro voters.
Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, North and South Carolina and Virginia have disfranchised the negro by legislation very much similar to the bill now pending before the Georgia assembly. And in not one of these states has a single white man lost his right to vote by the operation of the disfranchisement laws.
Pure elections have resulted, Peace has been restored. Harmony between the races has been secured. The negro has been taught that his right place is on the farm. He has given up ambition and hope of political preferment. He has been made to realize and appreciate his inferiority. He understands that social equality has been forever settled, because he knows that social equality can never be secured without political equality, and this has been denied him.
JOY IN LITTLE MAINE
Over Georgia Prohibition Bill — Temperance Folk Jubilate. During the second day's session Wednesday of the Maine Temperance Society at Old Orchard, a telegram was received conveying the announcement of the passage by the Georgia legislature of a prohibitory liquor law. A prayer and praise service, which was in progress at the time, was changed into meeting of general congratulations.
The Freemason and Fez scores a good point in the following: If more attention were given to symbolic degree—more time were required to elapse ere one could rush into co-ordinate bodies, and in fact more disposition to accept the finality that the Blue Lodge IS ALL of Ancient-Craft Masonry, it would do good; to the lodge and no harm to the other bodies.—Mystic Light.
Freemasonry Cosmopolitan.
Of the many characteristics that appertain to Freemasonry, none of them has a wider application than its cosmopolitan character. Prince and peasant, servant and master, clerk and foreman, however much their social, business and public life may differ, whatever social conditions may operate to draw "distinctions among men," to cause their paths in life to diverge, yet in the lodge all meet on the level. The king and the man who in public life opens the door for him, runs his errands, obeys his every beast in in the line of public duty, and who would as soon think of dying as shaking hands with the highest gentleman in the land, yet as soon as they have passed the tyled door, both assume the position of members of equal rights, shake one another by the hand, enquire as to each other's welfare, family affairs, business losses, gains, and so forth, sit down together at the banquet board—in short, exemplify the golden rule of doing as they would be done by. This is the teaching of Freemasonry—libetry, equality, fraternity, although they have been used as catch words by the profane as an aphoristic, on which to hang revolutions, destroy monarchies, and disrupt society, yet in their purity and origin they are foundation on which the great superstructure of Freemasonry rests, and, properly interpreted, do more to bring about the millennium of peace on earth and good will towards men than can be accomplished by all the sects, isms and sophistries in the world.—The Masonic Sun.
Each society is requested to forward to the grand secretary two dollars for the purpose of painting the building the building of the home. Do not delay, but send in this amount at once. Several lodges did so this week.
The Grand Chapter O. E. S. meets in Americus, August 20. Let each chapter send a full delegation. It will be a grand session indeed.
If we cannot speak kindly of one another, let us practice that lesson of silence exemplified by our Masonic brethren, which has so often gained admiration and respect for the fraternity. If we have words of love, affection, sympathy, or forgiveness, let us keep them for ears that cannot hear, for hearts that cannot feel, that do not need them. Speak them now; let them speed on their mission while the ear can hear, and the heart can feel. Speak them today and in the hour of our need and blessings will return to us a hundred fold.—Exchange.
The twentieth century promises to be a most intensely practical one. All nations, all fraternities are being called upon to prove an existence for some great purpose. Is our order doing this? It is an actual exemplification of the charity which we are taught is the true principle on which we are founded. The increasing impetus given to the building and maintaining of Masonic and Eastern Star homes in several of our grand jurisdictions will answer this. Let each individual member add to this worthy work by example and precept until the name of the Eastern Star shall be one of undying honor.
The ladies branch, the order of Eastern Star, is spreading and increasing. There was set up in Augusta some months ago a chapter of the Order named Vesta. W. M., T. B. Newsome, acting as deputy for Brother Sol C. Johnson, grand patron, for the order of Georgia, set up the second chapter of Augusta on last Friday afternoon, July 19th, with 22 members, with Mrs. D. W. McDowell, matron; Brother D. W. McDowell, patron; Mrs. Beauregard Sweet, conductress; Mrs. _____, astillant matron; Mrs. Richard Johnson, secretary; Mrs. Dr. W. T. Pritchett, treasurer. The chapter will meet on the first and third Monday afternoons of each month, at 4:30 o'clock.
Vesta chapter meets on the first and third Thursday afternoons of each month, at 4:30 o'clock. Vesta will initiate two candidates at the next meeting and reports a fine time. All members of sister chapters are cordially invited.
Seek for the best; seek it through organization, in unity, in harmony, in brotherhood, with pluck, pertinacity, energy, and judgment, for your own sake, for the sake of mankind and for right's sake. If the present generation of Masons will do this we will see
the dawn of a brilliant season when the
world has ever seen. Past, present,

UNDER HEAVY BAIL
Moyer, President of Western Federation, Is Given Freedom—Echoes
Judge Wood, in the district court at Boise, Monday afternoon, ordered Charles H. Moyer, president of the Federation of Miners, admitted to bail in the sum of $25,000.
The trial of George A. Pettibone, one of the alleged conspirators, was set for Tuesday, October 1. No application for bond was made in behalf of Pettibone, the conference of counsel having been fruitless in this respect. Haywood expects to leave for Denver at once. Moyer will leave when ball proceedings are arranged.
A New York dispatch says: President Roosevelt, not William D. Haywood, is now the "undesirable elitzen," said Alexander Jones, socialist leader and editor of the Volks Zeitung, when asked how he regarded the result of the trial in Idaho. His reply was perhaps the most pronounced of many opinions by local specialists and organized labor leaders. Moses Oppenheimer, the organizer of the Moyer-Haywood conference, in speaking at the meeting of the Central Labor Union, in which socialist and non-socialist unions are represented, said: "I have been a great many years in the labor movement and in all my memory this is the first time the working class has exerted itself in the same way it has done for these men," meaning Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone.
Efforts will be made to persuade Haywood to visit New York to attend a socialist parade and mass meeting in his honor to be held in Madison Square Garden. It is said that 50,000 persons will be in the parade. The New York socialists claim to have been the first to come to the financial assistance of Haywood, Moyer and Pettibone. They contributed $25,000 of the fund of $100,000 raised for the defense.
William Jennings Bryan is quoted on the verdict at Bolse, Idaho, as follows:
"I am glad to learn of the verdict and that it was not guilty. I watched the trial and did not see how any one could be found guilty on Orchard's testimony. Every crime he charged was one he himself suggested, and it was shown he was in communication with the mine owners and attempting to induce the defendant to engage in crime. "The manner in which the prisoners were taken from Colorado was hardly, in keeping with a fair trial."
Without comment President Roosevelt made public the following telegram received by him Monday, referring to the verdict in the Haywood murder trial at Boise, Idaho:
"New York, July 25, 1907—President Roosevelt: Undesirable citizens victorious. Rejoice.
"Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman, Hippolyto Havel."
FOR JEW AND GENTILE.
Judge Decides That for Legal Purposes
the Sabbath is Sunday.
Judge Hand of the municipal court at St. Paul, Minn, has decided that for legal purposes the Sabbath day, is Sunday. The decision came in connection with the arrest of Joseph Birnberg, a grocer, accused of selling groceries on the Sabbath. Birnberg is a Hebrew and made the point that he observed Saturday as the Sabbath and that he had therefore not violated the law.

Woman Who Exposed Thieving Bank Teller is Also in Trouble.
Julia M. Carter, the woman who betrayed Chuster Runyan, the paying teller of the Windsor Trust company at New York, who stole $96,000, has been indicted for receiving stolen goods. Runyan says he gave her $15,000 of the $80,000 in cash, and she took $10,000 when he was not looking.
