VOL. XXIII. FIVE DIE IN WRECK Fast Passenger Collides With Double-Header Freight. MANY NARROWLY ESCAPE Those Killed Were All Members of the Train Crews—Dense Fog Hid Signal of Wrongly-Turned Switch. Speeding through a dense fog at 10 miles an hour, Grand Trunk passenger train No. 5, which left Port Huron shortly before 7 o'clock Friday night for Detroit, collided head-on with a double-header freight train, half a mile north of Lenox, Mich. Five trainmen met death, four being killed instantly, the fifth dying three hours later. All of the passengers escaped serious injury. The killed were Engineer Bennett of the passenger, Engineer Bohowski of the first freight engine, Fireman Boughner, Fireman Albert McCall, Switchman W. G. Taylor. The passenger locomotive plowed under the engines of the double-hader and the trainmen were buried in the wreckage. Their bodies were terribly mangled and scalded by the escaping steam. Englester Fred Haug and Fireman Washburn of the second freight engine escaped death. Haug was caught in his cab, but was taken out unhurt. Washburn jumped and was only very slightly injured. All the dead trainmen lived in Detroit. The freight train had switched from the main track to a siding to allow the passenger to pass. It is alleged that the switch was not properly closed and on account of the heavy fog which prevailed the passenger could not see that the target was set against them. Denver Girl Defies Parental Opposition and Takes Red Man as Choice. News has been received in Denver, Cal., that Miss Cora Marie Arnold, of that city, was married Monday, December 23, in Santa Fe, N. M., to Albino Chavaria, a full-blooded Indian. The wedding ends a romance which began five years ago during the mountain and plain festival, when a number of Indians were brought to the city. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Rendon, a Presbyterian clergyman, and was witnessed by the sisters of the bride, Misses Lillian and Geneva Arnold of Denver. Chavarria is chief of the Santa Clara Indians, a tribe of the Pueblos in New Mexico. With a large number of his tribesmen he was in camp in the city park in Denver five years ago, when Miss Arnold saw him and immediately formed an attachment for him. After frequent visits to the camp Miss Arnold invited the Indian to call at her home. She lived at the time in a fashionable flat with her sisters and her stepfather "George Wilder." The Indian's first visit to his sweetheart was the cause of a disagreement between her and the remaining members of her family. Objection was made only to the Indian race, his character being above reproach. In April, 1905, Mr. Wilder jumped overboard from a steamer in the Gulf of Mexico and was drowned. He left a will in which he disinherited the present Mrs. Chavarria because of her refusal to give up her present Indian lover. The sisters of Miss Arnold finally consented to the marriage and one month ago they went with hes to New Mexico. Chavarria is full civilized, religious, fairly well-educated and well-to-do. He owns a large farm near Taos, N. M., which he cultivates himself. BOOKKEEPER AN EMBEZZLER. Made Way With $35,000 of Firm's Cash and is Arrested.

National President Charles S. Barrett of the Farmers Union is much incensed at a recent editorial in the Savannah Morning News, based on an alleged interview with him at Greenville, S. C. The interview quoted President Barrett as stating that 8,000,000 bales of cotton are being held off the market by farmers generally, and The News in its editorial drew the conclusion that if such were the case, with the 5,500,000 bales already marketed, there would be at least a crop of 13,500,000 bales, not including the cotton not yet ginned. President Barrett was naturally indignant, both that he should have been quoted without authority and that a false interview should have been used as the basis of editorial conclusions. "Not only did I not say anything of the kind," President Barrett said, "but I gave no interview to any newspaper man in Greenville on any subject. "I was busy in the office of State Secretary-Treasurer B. F. Earle in Greenville when L. A. Watson came to me and said there were a number of newspaper men outside who wanted an interview. I sent word that I was very busy and did not have time to see them, and in addition that I had nothing to say. "That was' my only experience with newspaper men on the occasion of my visit to Greenville, and I felt surprised and outraged when shown by one of my associates an editorial from the Savannah Morning News, quoting me as saying that the farmers generally were holding 8,000,000 bales of cotton off the market. "Not only was the interview' false from beginning to end, but I have never at any time given for publication any expression of my opinion as to the amount of cotton being held or to the extent of the crop. "Why a man would be a fool to make any such statement as that, and I cannot conceive of the writer of the editorial believing that I made any such statement when he commented on it as he did. "Whenever I have anything to say about the cotton crop or any of the affairs of the Farmers' Union I shall make the statement over my signature, as I have consistently done in the past. "The trouble is, there are a lot of newspapers in various parts of the country which are pretending friendship for the Farmers' Union, but which are not letting slip any opportunity to attack us — not even that afforded by the fake interview. "I do not know who is responsible for the interview, but I do know that it is a fake pure and simple, and it ought not to have taken, any great amount of discernment to discover its falsity." BEER POURED INTO GUTTER. Over Two Thousand Barrels Emptied In Oklahoma City. Twenty-three hundred barrels of beer, valued at $17,500, belonging to the new state brewery, was poured into the sewers of Oklahoma City Monday, by United States Internal Revenue Collector Howard. The-brew was completed after Oklahoma became a state. The state authorities would not permit its sale and shipment from the state. PEACE DINNER PULLED OFF. Delegates to Pacificic Conference Dine in Washington. What was termed a "peace" dinner was given in Washington Monday night by the delegates to the recent peace conference of the Central American republics in celebration of the conclusion of an agreement of amity between them. Toasts were drunk to the presidents of the United States, Mexico and the five republics, parties to the pact, and speeches were made expressive of good will and a desire for lasting peace.

SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. JANUARY 4. 1908. GOV. SPARKS YIELDS Will Call Special Session of Nevada Legislature. TAKES. ADVICE OF TEDDY Governor's Determination Assures the Retaining of United State Troops in Goldfield, Nevada, for Some. President Roosevelt Saturday Indicated by telegram to Governor Sparks of Nevada that the federal troops now at Goldfield will be ordered to remain there for a further period of three weeks provided the governor within five days issues a call for a special session of the state legislature. The telegram of the president was in response to one from the governor in which he sets forth the need of armed intervention and the doubt that to call the legislature would result in the necessary request from that body for federal aid. The letter of Governor Sparks, which was made public at the white house, was in part as follows: "Carson, Nev., Dec. 26—The President, Washington, D. C.; As chief magistrate of the state of Nevada I have been of the opinion for the past year that a condition bordering on domestic violence and insurrection has existed in the Goldfield mining district. "Without considering the merits of any of the controversies it is only necessary to state that the entire district became divided into two hostile camps. One on the one-hand the miners, with their adherents and sympathizers, and on the other mine owners, with their adherents and sympathizers. The union alone claimed a membership of 3,000 and fully one-half of the membership was constantly armed. Arms and ammunition were purchased and kept by the union as a body. "On the other hand, the mine owners had in their employ a large number of watchmen and guards who were constantly armed and on duty; in addition to those opposing forces were an unusually large number of the criminal element attracted to the new and booming mining camp. Under such conditions the civil authorities were probably, powerless. They could attend to the ordinary petty offenders from day to day, but at the first conflict between the real armies of labor and capital would have been swept away. The repeated strikes and continued threats of other strikes excited mine owners more and more. It was clear to me, therefore, that when the last strike was called in the midst of the financial crisis spreading over the country and with a long winter facing the 20,000 people situated upon the desert hundreds of miles from any centers of population, it was time to recognize the actual condition of affairs and to act accordingly. A state of insurrection arises, in my judgment, when armed bodies are in existence with satisfactory power to overcome the civil authorities and continued threats were made of life and property. This condition has existed in the Goldfield mining district the past year and exists there now." A dispatch of Sunday from Reno, Nev., is as follows: A special session of the Nevada legislature will be called by Governor John Sparks. The governor said that he would issue the proclamation and that the date of convening the legislature would probably be January 14th. The call will be made at the request of President Roosevelt. Notification of the decision to assemble the legislature has been transmitted to Washington. County Commissioner Roseenthal of Goldfield, whose resignation has been requested by Governor Sparks, has refused to vacate his office. The announcement that Governor Sparks will call the Nevada legislature together in special session has put an entirely new aspect upon the labor situation at Goldfield. At least a portion of the federal troops, it is thought, will remain in Goldfield for an indemnite period and fear of any serious disturbance, growing out of the dispute has vanished. It is not at all certain, however, that the legislature will act in accordance with the wishes of Governor Sparks, but the calling of the special session will have the effect of keeping federal troops in Goldfield for several weeks and will make the possibility of serious trouble more remote. ALABAMA COUNTIES DRY Fifty Are Now Closed to Sale of Booze and a Year Hence All in the State Will Be in Line. With the shrill shrieks of the hundreds of whistles of industrial Birmingham, announcing the advent of the new year, every saloon in Jefferson county closed its doors sine die. Tuesday night was the time set for prohibition to go into effect in the counties of Alabama in which local option elections have been held during the year. When the result of the election Tuesday in Crenshaw county became known, and it was added to the prohibition ranks, there were exactly fifty counties in the state which closed the doors of the saloons permanently at midnight. This leaves seventeen counties in the state from which liquor can be sold for another year. One year hence the entire state becomes prohibition by statutory act. Of the wet counties for the next year only four are exclusively saloon counties, Mobile, Montgomery, Dallas and Baldwin. There are eleven exclusive dispensary counties, Macon, Winston, Elmore, Bibb, Limestone, Madison, Cleburne, Perry, Barbour, Colbert, Covington and Coffee. Marengo county, has both dispensary and saloons. Jefferson county, in which Birmingham is located, is by far the largest county in the state, and in Birmingham alone 120 saloons went out of business. A remarkable feature of the last day under the liquor regime is the fact that there was less drunkenness noted than for many months. The situation seemed to be accompanied by consent, but the fact remains that the amount of liquor sold on the last day was probably greater than on any previous day in the history of Birmingham. This resulted from the purchasing by householders of various liquors in bulk to fortify them in cases of sickness and emergencies. The greater part of the liquor sold was in bulk. "TWENTY-THREE" FOR PASSES. Free Transportation in State of Georgia Now Cut Off. The general order of the railroad commission of Georgia, cutting off all manner of free transportation, except to employees of the common carriers, is now effective. It will, also, curtail the use of free telephones, for the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company has stated to the railroad commission of Georgia that it considered itself a common carrier, and would observe the order by not allowing any more free phoning in Georgia after the first of January. This general order of the commission withdraws from every one, except those exempted under the national Hepburn law, the right of free transportation. HOARDING DID MISCHIEF. Dun's Annual Review of Trade States Cause of Stringency. The withdrawal of $125,000,000 from a few large trust companies, precipitating a season of hoarding and sending currency to a premium at a time when it was most needed throughout the country, is credited in R. G. Dun & Co's annual review of trade, with having been one of the great factors in turning the year 1907 from its promise of new records in prosperity to a closing period of financial disturbance that caused many plans for future extensions of business to be either abandoned or postponed. PHILADELPHIA MINT OUTPUT. Colns Made the Past Year Amounted to $63,263,104.93. The total output of the United States mint in Philadelphia for the year 1907, according to reports compiled Tuesday, was 183,598,943 coins, representing a value of $63,263,104.93. For the year of 1906 the output was 166,653,233 coins, therefore there is an increase in this year's production over last year of 16,948,710 pieces. WITH CONSENT OF PATIENTS. Medical Students Can Visit Charity Wards of Atlanta Hospital. Medical students from all the colleges of Atlanta will be permitted to visit the charity wards of Grady hospital for bedside teaching, under the provisions of a resolution adopted Tuesday afternoon by the board of trustees' of the hospital, after three hours of debate, at which at times waxed dangerously near the line of acrimony. It is further provided in the resolution adopted that in each case the consent of the patient shall be obtained. SEABOARD TANGLED RECEIVERSHIP IS ASKED Application Made to Judge Pritchard to Place Affairs of Company in the Lawyers representing the Seaboard Air Line railway system and the creditors of the company left Richmond, Va., about 7 o'clock. Wednesday night on a special train for Danville, Va., to meet United States Judge Pritchard and ask that the great railroad system be put into the hards of a receiver. Counsel for the railway company and its creditors applied Wednesday afternoon to United States District Judge Waddell, Richmond, for the appointment of receivers, but subsequently agreed to make application to Judge Pritchard of the United States circuit court, and thereby oblate the necessity of securing auxiliary decrees in each of the court districts through which the lines of the company operate. Judge Waddell announced that he would appoint the receivers on certain conditions, but it was thought best to go to a court with larger jurisdiction. The reason given for applying for a receivership for the Seaboard is that the company is unable to pay interest charges now due. In railway and financial circles the situation in which the Seaboard, with its thousands of miles of trackage, finds itself, is attributed to the legislative onslaughts that have been made on railroads and on other corporate interests for the past year in the states through which the Seaboard runs. These legislative onslaughts have reduced the earnings of the system and have made it difficult for it to meet its fixed charges. Worse than all the shaking of confidence by the antrailroad crusades in the states through which the Seaboard runs has made it impossible for the road to secure money to make needed improvements and to keep its equipment in condition to render the service demanded of it. The troubles of the Seaboard will be felt extensively throughout the south, as the system operates in the states of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and Florida. In all of these states the Seaboard, in common with other railroads and corporate interests, has been subjected in the last year to much adverse legislation, with the threat from those authority of worse to come. The crusade against the railroads has been particularly severe in Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina. Railway men and conservative financiers say that the misfortunes of the Seaboard are only what might have been expected from the anti-corporation crusade that has been made in certain states of the south. AD SEABOARD The financial affairs of the road reached a crisis because January 1st was the 'date for paying interest on the underlying bonds of the system, and the company was unable to raise the money. The Seaboard Air Line has a total mileage of 2,905 including trackage rights of twenty-three miles. Lt and its connections run through the states of Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama. the principal cities touched by the system are Washington, Richmond, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Raleigh, Wilmington, Hamlet, Camden, S. C., Columbus, S. C., Savannah, Atlanta, Brunswick, Birmingham, Montgomery, River Junction, Fla., Jacksonville, Tampa and Fernandina. The road has steamship connections to Cuba, and from Jacksonville, the Clyde Line to New York. NEW YEAR'S AT WHITE HOUSE, President Receives Callers for Seventh Time as Chief Executive. President Roosevelt received at the white house Wednesday for the seventh time a New Year's throng of well-wishers which was three hours in passing his hand. Mrs. Roosevelt and the members and ladies of the cabinet were his assistants. Though curtailed in number, 5,645, by more than a thousand over the proceeding New Year's day, the reception was resplendent in all the incidents of tradition which have accumulated to its interest for more than a century. Federal Judge Newman Turns Dawn Application of Brevice to Estop Georgia Prohibition Law Judge William T. Newman of the United States court at Atlanta Wes- day afternoon denied the petition the brewsra to prevent the state pro- bition law from being enforced. Fea- turing is the judge's order in full. In the circuit court of the United States, for the northern district of Georgia. The Christian Moorlein Brew- Company, et al., plaintiffs, vs. C. D. Hull, solicitor general of the Atlanta circuit, et al., defendants, in equity. This bill was presented to me, we- tterday afternoon, December 31, 1909, about five o'clock, and application made for a temporary restraining order. This application was denied, whereupon counsel asked for a rule to show cal- c on the defendants why an injunction pendente lite should not issue. After a careful examination of the bill I am thoroughly satisfied that an injunction pendente lile cannot and will not be granted. This being true it is unnecessary to call on the defendants to show cause as requested. WM, T, NEWMAN, U, S. Judge In accordance with Judge Newman's action on the petition it will be several months before any other step can be taken to challenge the prohibition law if induced any other step is to be taken at all. The bill will be filed with the clerk of the United States court and the defendants, that is to say, the solicitors of the county and superior courts, the clerk of these courts and the city recorder will have until the first Monday in February to file the appearance. The defendants will next have until the first Monday in March either to plead answer or demur to the bill. Not until then will the case be fairly under way to a hearing on its merits in the meantime the law stands. The law firm representing the breweries declaimed after having been told of Judge Newman's decision, that the firm would fight the case to the end at least through the circuit court of appeals at New Orleans. This effort to block the state prohibition law in Georgia by means of a federal injunction was made shortly before six o'clock Tuesday afternoon when attorneys for the Christian Moerlin Brewing company of Cincinnati, Ohio, and the Chattanooga Brewing company of Chattanooga, Tenn., presented to Judge William Newman a bill alleging the state prohibition law was contrary to the constitution of Georgia and also to the constitution of the United States. A restraining order is asked against the prohibition law on two grounds that allegation that it violates the constitution of the state of Georgia and furthermore, that it violates the fourteenth amendment of the constitution of the United States. This first pla is based on section 3, article 3, paragraph 1, of the constitution of the state of Georgia, which reads: "The poll tax, any educational fund now (except the endowment of and the debt due to University of Georgia) a special tax on shows and exhibitions and on the sale of spirituous and malt liquors which the general assembly is hereby authorized to asses, and the proceeds of any commutation tax for military service, and all taxes that may be assessed on such domestic animals as, from their nature and habits, are destructive to other property, are hereby set apart and devoted for the support of common schools." This section of the state constitution, argue the attorneys, in so far as it provides for the assessment of a special tax on the sale of spirituous and malt liquors is mandatory and imperative and implies an inhibition on the part of the general assembly of Georgia to the exercise of any authority, with respect to that subject, which would frustrate the purpose of that provision. Therefore they continue to reason the prohibition statute, passed by the legislature is contrary to their aforementioned, provision of section 3, article 8, of the constitution of Georgia. FIGHT BEGUN ON PROHIBITION. Prohibition Judge of Culman County, Alabama, issues Saloon Licenses. Declaring the prohibition laws as far as 1908 are concerned, unconstitutional, the probate judge of Culman county, Alabama, has issued nine saloon licenses, and the liquor establishments in the county will be opened. Culman voted on December 8 for prohibition. The saloon men claim that the prohibition law is unconstitutional because it makes exceptions of counties, which voted, on the proposition prior to December 12.

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

The employes . had been asked to use extra care and vigilance, and the tnozt light-hearted girl there felt worried and uneasy. Was It a clever shoplifter? Could there be a thief amozg them? Did the firm susrect any cne? Was there perhaps a detective watching them even now? And—did detectives not sometimes make mistrkes? Every one was painfully nervous, and Impatient to have the mystery cleared up. “And I believe you know something about it, Floy,” sald Jeante Burnham, under her breath, to a fellow clerk. “Why, what makes you'thiak that?” Floy asked, startled. -“T know it. I know by—by the way you hold your tongue when ve are all puzzling about it. Now what is {t?” “No,” said Fidy Irving, very slowly, as if weighing every word, “no, I do not know any more than the rest. of you about this. ( don’s even know what fs missing." | “But you have a suspicion, Now own up” “No,” even more slowly. “And if I had, it might be doing a great mis- take to tell.” G = “Oh, you cbstinate little mulet 1 wish there was an X-rey so we could Jook through pecple’s heads and find out what they krew.” = But some one came up just then, and Floy seized the opportunity to slip away, with a deep breath of ‘thankfulness. For she did know some- thing—only, had it anything to do with this case? If she spolé, all in the store—or all but two, perhars— -would say at once, “That solves the riddje.” But would it? Or would it ‘ouly' practically convict one who might after all be Sunocent? Oh, if, there were only some X-ray by which one might look Into a soul and see if it were true! There he stood at an opposite counter, quiet and falth- ful, although he must know that one word from her would concentrate all this’ dark cloud of suspicion on his head. Yet why should she not say, “I do not know who fs the thief now, but I ‘know who was responsible for a simi- lar course of petty losses a few years 2g0, and not so many miles away. He calls himself Robert Murdock now, but he was sent to the reform schcol then under the name of Bob Jamfeson.” Yet was it quite fair to conclude that because Bob Jamieson, ill-fed, ill- clothed and ill-advised by an unscrup- ulous stepfather, had robbed.the em- ployer who provoked the act by re- fusing to pay -ifair wages, therefore Robert Murdock, some years older, ‘wiser, and to all appearance strictly honorable, was equelly guilty? He had been in the store some months now, and apparently she alone knew of this old trouble. She hardly knew why she had not told that he was an old schoolmate of her own— partly, perhaups, because so much had ‘een said of a girl's Inabliity to keep a secret, and she resented the Idea, but more on account of a kindly reluct- ance to make trouble for one trying to start anew. No one but himself knew that tho had ever met before. , Murdock’s behavior had been fault- Jess—almost too good to be natural, it seemed to Floy. Still, this might mean only that he was determined to retrieve bis good name and bury, the old disgrace from sight forever. ‘What injustice, then, rractically to convict, him of this new theft, with- ‘out one particle of proof, and make the cloud above him darker than exer! a¥et the word once spoken could never be recalled. And there before her eyes every day stood Robert Mur- dock, waiting the word that should hurl him to destruction—yet neither dy word nor look appealing for mercy. She slipped out hurriedly, when the day’s work was over, lestJennleshould overtake and ply her with more ques- tlons. She did not want to talk—or to think. What was the use of puzzling one’s brains over a problem one had not facts to solve? But before she had fairly reached her boarding place she was stopped by one of her comrades in the store, with @ piteous appeal: “O Floy Irving, I'm in such a both- er! You'll help me out, won't you? There's a darling! By head aches fit to split, and there- was such a crowd at our counter I couldn't begin to keep things straight, and some of the ladles pulled the laces all round and got them into such a tangle! I do belleve one of them was the shoplifter that 4s making us all so much trouble. T didn’t dare take my eyes off her, and I ing a corner, came sharply upon—RoL- ert Murdock? 7 Vow often sho had wished for a chzace to question him! Here it was— if che cnly knew how to vse It. “Did I frighten you?" he asked, civ- itty, for, she had given a startled cry. “I merely stepped cut to see who was coming in. Mr. Hale asked me to stay and help unpack some new good to- night.” Floy briefly explained her own pres- ence fn turn. No one at Vane & Hunt's wanted any suspicion attaching to thefr movements just now. Then— for She dared not let this golden oppor- tunity psss—she added hurriedly} “I— I want go ask you one question.” In- voluntarily she caught his arm and turned his face toward (he light. “Weil?” + “Is Robert Murdock ycur* true ame?” “My tree name.’ It was my fa'her’s before me. Jamieson was ozly my stepfather. Is that all?" For she had dropzed her band and turned away with a gesture of hopelessness. “Yesno! That is, what's the use? I know what you would say—elther way! There’s no use wasting time.” “And you wouldn't believe anything I saf@—cither way! No,“it's not much use talking,” she said bitterly. “I-1 don't understand!” dasped Floy, startled. : You think, ‘Once a thief, always'a thief.’ Well, you won't believe me, I suppese. I den't know why you have kej: my secret so leng, unless you Uked to play with me as a cat does with a mouse. NeveFtheless, 1 will say this—as heaven hears me, I ‘know nothing whatever about the thefts In this store. Iam as innocent . of them as you arc.” “I beltevé you!” Filey exclaimed, ex- tending her hand eagerly. “And I don’t Lelleve that horrible old saying. Don't be angry with -me, please. I didn't mean to be hard or cruel. I neversthought you cared to have me speak to you. I wasn’t playing with you. I kept still because I thought it was right—end now I know it_ was. You may trust me.” é He controlled his voice by an effort. “Forgive me, I should nét have spoke en so. You have a right to choose your acquatntances.'" “The watchman 1§ coming; I mist 50 at Annie's laces. “But I know what ,t0 believe now,” and she burrled on ‘breathlessly. A moment later she was hastily bringing order out of chaos, even’ while explaining her refurn to her friend, the watchman, “She's a careless one!” the old man growled. “I'd let her do her own straightening. "Tisn't your business,” “She was sick, you know,” Eloy sald, excusingly. “I don't mind help- ing her a little.” She glanced. uncon- ‘Selously over where Murdock was now arranging the new goods on the ‘shelves. * “If ‘twas any of the other girls, now, I'd just wonder if she hadn’t an idea that Bob Murdock might offer to see her home,” chuckled the watch- man. “But I Dever"say you show any weakness in,that line.’ <" “Ob, you don't see everything!" Floy laughed, although -her_chceks flamed. “But I'l be done-and- at, home long before he can get away.” “Oh, it you spoke to him tonight, rit warrant {t wag the first time.” At which suggestion Floy’s nervous fingers only flew the faster. She did not care to talk more with him to- night. Yet she was very glad she had come, Her doubts were setled now. Only—she wished she had been a lit~ tle less cautious and a Httle kinder— @ little more just, perhaps. “But at least she was thankful that she had not spoken out her doubts. But when she entered the store the next morning, the alr was heavier than ever with doubt and dread. More losses had beenpdiscovered, The girls huddled together, exchanging wild guesses in frightened whispers. ‘Phe firm had not given out any word, but there ‘was: unwonted hurrying to and fro, the senior partner had been sum- moned by telephone, and now was closeted with Mr. Hunt, the junior partner, one of the floor walkers and the head bookkeeper, And with them was,a sharp-eyed little man no one know—a detective, perhaps. Mr. Hale and the watchman had been called be- fore them, as the last persons in the store the preceding night. It seemed that matters were to be thoroughly sifted at last. : “They'd better ask who else was here last night,” Katie Maguire whis- Sot forgetting, Dowerer, to Eve 00~ ert Murdock a nod and a smiling “Good morning!” * -How gravely he retirned It! But of course this suspense was even harder for him than for the other. A little later she saw him entering the private office. . A particularly cxasperating customer taxed her aftention_to the utmost for the next quarter “of an ‘hour, but her long breath of relief as the woman de- parted was cut short by the ominous words: : “Yoa are wanted in the private of- fice, Miss Irving.” “1? What for?" Floy gasped, in cismas, eS “1 do not know. No doubt they will tet you.” Was It only her fancy, or ‘was the tone frosty with suspicion? She saw the girls around exchange startled glances, heard Katie's exult- ant whisper, “You see! Didn't I tell you’ so?” and Jennie's indignant “Hush! That doesn’t mean anything.” Of course it did not, Floy told her- self, “It was only thelr exeltement which gave significance to such a trifle. To be sure, girls were not, sum~ imoned to the private office often, But why shculd she be nervous? What if she had seen Robert Murdock enter- ing that private room just a Ilttle while ago? The villain in a story- book might make a false accusation to $d himself of a troublesome witness, but in real life— If only her cheeks would not bum so! I was enough to make any one suspect her, and the very thought made them burn hotter. All this flashed through Floy’s mind as she walked quickly from her coun- ter to the door of the private office: Lut if her heart beat so fast that it seemed to choke her, she carried her head bravely, é Inside the dreaded portal she passed, outwardly calm, inwardly fighting down a panic, “The partners and head beokkeeper were in close consultation. Xirdly Mr. Hunt nodded to her, bid- ding her sit down, but nervous Mr. Vane snapred out shortly: “We hear that you were here after hours lest ight, Miss Irving. How {3 that? And how did you get in?” Floy explained briefly why and how she hail retuined,-'forcing herself to speak stezdily, although all the time something seemed whispering in her eir, “How should they know that un- less be has forestalled you by throw- ing suspicionzon "you? Why did you let yourself be convinced so easily? Didn't you know that a man who would steal would le? Why didn't You speak out at first? After he has once accused you, your story will scind like a weak attempt at self-de- tence. And she could only tell herself, des- peratety, “I told him he might ‘trust me. I can't break my word unless I am sure.” : “How long were you here? What did you do? Be exact, now,” Mr: Vane demanded, while -Mr. - Hunt leaned Lack, watching her “with an odd, amused eir that bewildered and alarmed her, as If he were expecting —she,did. uot know what.

Mr. Vane snapped. Mr. Hunt's eyes twinkled as he waited for, her answer. ‘That volce seemed to roar in her ears, “Tell it all !¥ou will never have such a chance again. Can't you see hat he has accused you to save bim- self?” But she sald, steadily; “Oh, the. watchman teaséd me about ‘coming pack so as to talk with Mr. Murdock. We told cach other how we haprened io come back to the store, and—" “And what?” Mr. Vane demanded sharply, as she hesitated. “And complained a little about how 1ervous these mysterious thefts were naking, us all,” she finished, boldly. “What do you think about these hefts, Miss Irving?" Mr. Hunt asked, uddenly, his eyes “twinkling more han ever. : Once more Flow desperately fought ff & great temptation. “I don't know yhat to think.” ‘He chuckled, rubbing his hands to- ether In, satisfaction. “You understand stenography and asked for work.

I expected every day thet you would speak out, and have every one thinking Bob was the guil- ty one, But you didn’t, so I think I can trust you to hold your tongue about other matters, too.” “But I almest said it 20 times,” Floy sald, honestly. pitted!” Way alan't you quite say 2” | “Because I was afraid it might be doing injustice—and ‘A word - once ‘spoken, @ coach and six horses can’t bring back,’ as grandpa used to tell us “Then if you once make up your yaind, after careful consideration, that ‘It Is riglit-to tell other people my bus!- pees secrets, you will do It, will you?” he asked, dryly: * “Why—yes—I suppose so," Flay fal- tered. fi : “But not till then?” “Oh, no!” she satd, earnestly. “Well, if you walt till then, [ think we won't quarrel.

This shows our ut- ter contempt for his venom. All just citizens are proud of the expiration of his term on the bench, and if he dves not repent of his hatred of race and hard- ‘ness of heart, when death ap- proaches him he will have an agonizing time. Irisfar better to pay no at. tention to the tirade of Judge Norwood against the Negro in his validictory on the bench last Tuesday. Ephraim is joined to hisidol, and it is as hard for the judge tospeak a commendable ‘word for us as itis for the leo- pard tochange his spots. All ‘who know therecord of Judge ‘Norwood will approve this. The judge’s tirade will tind lodgement only in the minds of those who think as. he does, that the Negro is next to beasts. Those who think otherwise have placed the proper appreci- ation on wkaf he has said. All students of ethnology can notagree with him in saying that the Negro was never civiliz. ed, has added nothing to arts, science or the inventions of the world. Students of ancient his- tory, especially of the races can refute successfully what he said. Wecan only agree with him when he scored the certain white wen for their criminal actions towards our women. We strongly refute his charge as to the immorality of our women. We would advise Judge Norwood to learn about the homes of yur leading citi- zeus, their schools and their places of business. li he knew more about this and did noc judge us by the low class of enminals whom he vented his race prejudice upon, probably his heart would be less harden- | ed towards us.

DAY OF FREEDOM. the Exercises Grand and Inspiration Great. Last Wednesday was observ- ed by us as Emancipation Day. It was a great celebration and it made every patriotic Negro’s heart tinge with pride to note it. The several societies gathered at West Broad and Gwinnett streets and took up the line of march as published in our last issue, headed by Chief Marshal R. Barnes, and his assistants. Several bands were in line and enlivened the vuccasion The societies turned out with full membership and -participants looked their bestand aided to make the parade very imposing. The entire procession was very orderly and receive the plaudits of those who saw it. The exercises took place at St. John Baptist Church, and in a little while the edifice was crowded. _The speakers with the officers of the Emancipation and Chatham County Associa- tions were seated on the rostrunt and within the rails. Rev. H. L, Haywood was master of cere- monies. The singing by the congregation was inspiring and the selection by the choir were among the best ever heard. ‘the invocation by Rev. R. V. Branch was in keeping with the occasion and touched all who heard him. Mr. David F Moses’ address on “Tilton and the Negro,”? was delivered in a well poised manner and was wellreceived. The document thatall of our people hold so sacied, Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, was read in a dis tinct manner by Mr. John H. Baldwin. In timely words Rev. H. L. Heyward introduced Dr. S. Palmer Lloyd, who deliv- ered the main address. He was received amidst applause and immediately entered into his address, It was noted especial- ly because there was flo com- plaint about the manner in which we are treated by others, but figures were given and fac s shown about the Negro’s pro - ress since freedom, and in a teli Ing Way the vast audience was told what they must do to make the progress greater by helping each otuer and sticking 6 the business ‘concerns of the race. Hearty amens were given. ‘The speaker named a nuniber of business concerns of the city, the amount of business each dues and the number of persons employed, and showed that if the members,of the race in the city would jonly spenda few cents With them that they would he able tu give employment to many moreof our young men and women. ° It is a pity that thousands more ot our people did not hear the address, especially that sturdy class that has the making or unmaking of the race within its grasp. . "The celebration was among the best that we have , had and those who had the arrdnge- ments in hand deserve untold cummendation for making it so.

Do yon know that you éan train a hen to be a poor layer? Do you know thal’ she can and will keep her ‘eggs when ready to lay for a whole day? If this Condition fs allowed to con- ‘nue she may and probably will lay fewer and fewer eggs, finally becoming un indifferent layer, hence the neces- sity of having plenty of clean, comfort- able nests. Did you ever notice how shyly the young puilet will go about looking for a secret place where she may stealthily deposit her precious eggs? : How very particular she fs about it! If there is an Insufficient number ‘of nests, or if they are unclean, or Xoo much exposed she fs likely, after ‘some delay, to lay the egg on the floor per rae ae hens; which may ead to epz eatin’ N Comfort is one ofthe essentials of egg productions, and what is more necessary than handy, clean and com- fortable nests? . — ‘The Care of Collies.

Feed him twice daily of -‘cooked food. Do not keep him too fat. ‘Good muscular condition and a smart, salert collie are not the result of too fmuch feed. Once a week give him a 4teaspoontul of powdered sulpbur in a yan with some milk It keeps his ‘Dlood In fine condition, Use a medi- “cated animal soap when washing him. { Disinfect the kennel with crude car- “bolle acld once a month. In fall and printer, when washing is out of the “question, owing to the unfavorable freather, dust him through all _ his dense coat with a tobacco dust powder. Ht is a fine method of keeping his ‘skin clean and Insects off after contact awith other dogs. Have him clipped Jn ‘summer, if convenient, and let him go ‘on the vacation with you.

Half the pleasure of the country life les in the ownership of a good horse. Every farmer should have a horse that the wife and daughter can ride and drive, as well as the boys. din selecting such a horse, choose ‘one about fifteen hands and one or two Inches high, weighing about 950 to 1000 pounds. _-He should have a good even dispo- ‘sition, and go equally well in harness or under saddle: _ Of all the fools who drive horses the ‘ones who rush a horse down hill are ‘the worst. It weakens the tendons and nerves, Jars the shoulders and springs the “knees. "_ As:the cool nights come on pe care- ‘ful about putting your horses in the stable when heated from work or drly- Ing. Give them a good rubbing all over with a towel of cloth, and put on a light woolen blanket. If the blanket becomes damp, put on a dry one for the night. It fs still better to rub the horse un- til,he is dry. It does not take long, and it pays, though’ few farmers will do it. . It takes much patience to teach a horse seven or eight years old to do new kinds of work. But let patience have her perfect work; the horse is not so much to blame after all.—Farm Journal. * {Long Chicken Runs. The following from the Farm Press contains some very sound advice. I never yet saw a chicken yard-too long, but I have seen a great many that were too small. I never knew chickens to get sick and make trouble when they had plenty of room arid plenty of green stiff. It costs some- thing to fence a long run, but it pays. A yard twenty feet wide and two ‘hundred yards long may be plowed and cultivated with horses. If a succession of green stuff Is grown, starting in the spring and reseeding at different times during the summer, a yard like this will grow enough to almost feed thir- ty or forty laying hens. Such things as-peas and oats may be planted very early In the spring and by having runs may be closed and different grains and vegetables may be planted in season. ‘A'great deal, of picking may be had from corn, They may eat off the young stalks and they may let some of them grow up, but, in any case the chickens get the benefit. Rape is an- other good crop to grow. It may be planted almost amy time between spring and early fall. Radishes, bects, ‘buckwheat, In fact, almost anything that grows on the farm, will come in all yight in the chicken yard. You may plant in rows and culti- vate occasionally, you may sow broad- cast. You may leaye the chickens in the yard or turn them out until the stuff gets fairly started, according to circumstances. It makes but little alf- ference how you manage, so long as you fit enough ground and plant enough to keep the poultry busy. I prefer a poultry yard in an or chard, preferably of small fruit trees such as plums, cherries, apricots, prunes and pears. The partial shade from the trees is beneficial to poultry. In this way you don't feel the expense of giv ing.» WI fg Jo f ground to a poul- eae rou Leer run wire poul try netting down ibe Fows betweer the treés and partition off a yard & wide or as narrow as you want It.

Truth About Economy In Dress. ‘There {s something anterlor to the cutting and making of dresses at home (an-accepted, but not always a successful, form of economy); a some- thing anterlor to the remodejing of last year’s gowns, and to the study of the care of clothing, important though all these may be. It has to do with the practical understanding of econ- omy itself, It is a matter of the head rather than of the hand.

Society grows in wealth, erse, lelsure, power and Intelligence, as it devélops from self Industry to world industry. Very well, In fifty families we have fitty men and fifty women—a hundred units of wealth-producing labor. Now sup- pose—just for a contrast—that these fifty women all work at some trade earning a dollar and a half a day— nine dollars asweck, and that all the men were only housekeepers to the women—cooking, sweeping, washing, caring for the children, for no wages. ‘The family income would be nine dol- lars a Week—and both parties work- ing all the time. We can see ata glance what @ loss of wealth is in- volved. ’ “Those men, we cry, would earn more than one dollar and fifty cents a day if they were free to specialize, to develep thelr various talents, to com- bine, organize, serve one another and their families at the same tlme. Let the men earn the money and the wom- en do the housework. “go we usually have the-reverse of the picture; the men earning from one dollar and fifty cents to four or five dolars or more a day, a much-In- creased average Income, and improved service—the men's service, that fs. “Now, these fifty women represent potential wealth as well as the ‘men. While each of them works all day in the house for no wages, sbaring the income of her husband, {s {t not possi- ble that she might be working at some special labor she preferred?

Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, Hamburg avenue and Welfrield street, on the above theme, the Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, pastor, took as his text Is.40:8: "The Word of our God shall stand forever." He said: This has been an age of criticism of the Scriptures. There has never been a time in the history of Christianity when the Bible was more searchingly examined and the truthfulness of its facts as presented more questioned than in the days through which we have passed and are passing. The written truth of the dyline revelation has been put to severe tests. Its foundations have been analyzed. Its superstructure has been sounded. Its conclusions have been negatived and its very fabric has seemingly been destroyed. Some of us have feared that its permanence has been threatened, its influence curtailed, its contents in some measure expunged. Criticism has been strenuous in its handling of the Bible. Far more strenuous than some of us have thought advisable. Far more strenuous than many of us have thought justifiable, necessary or wise. Under the combined influence of a new science, a larger view of history, a more comprehensive geography, the tests of the validity and value of the Scriptures have been changed and the content of the Word of God has been differently considered than customarily. It has shocked many a soul, this process. It has brought many a layman and many a minister to the tide of the ocean of doubt and distrust and of spiritual uncertainty. But it has been done. Whether we have liked it or no the light has been turned on. It has incidentally been turned on much that was the foolishness of immature scholarship masquerading under the guise of wisdom. The criticism of the Scriptures has created a widespread distrust of the whole Book of God. It has upset theology. It has removed many of the old foundations for our belief in the inspiration of the Word and of the divinity of Jesus Christ. Sadly in many quarters it has undermined faith. But that has been rather because men have lacked the power to make sense and because they have mistaken facts for human development and interpretation of the same because the Scriptures have been scientifically studied and the light of the spirit honestly and helpfully turned on. Actually there has been little cause for alarm. Because we test the water is no guarantee that it is contaminated. Because we put acid to our silver is no surety that it is only plated. Because we take the invitation of the Almighty and try Him and His Word is no reason why we should fear that either or both are frauds. Because we study the Word carefully invites no presumption that it will not be able fully to meet all our questions and successfully to elucidate all our perplexities and to justify itself. The Bible is not a book for dummies. It is the mechanically preserved Word of a living God who through the long ages has spoken to living men and who yet speaks. It is for men of intelligence who are alive. And it invites the inquiry of live and intelligent men. There is and has been no cause for alarm. For theology and religion are not the same thing. A very religious man may have a very atrocious theology. And while it is always best to express our religious knowledge and experiences in the best theological formulae that we may be able to devise, it is always possible, humanity being what it is, that we may not be able to express in words the exact consciousness of our minds and souls. A man's theology will change, if he be a live and intelligent man, with the maturing and magnifying of his religious experiences. And if our theology is effective to relate our spiritual and moral experiences, if our creeds do not correctly reveal our thoughts, there is no reason in the world why we should not do as our fathers before us have done and change our creeds, our formulated theologies. Creeds are necessary as an expression of religious consciousness. It were folly to scoff them. But they should be plastic. They should grow with our growth and expand with our expansion. And so if investigation of the Scripture has reald the ground for our belief in the inspiration of the Word of God we should not be fearful. For it has made the foundation but more intelligible and truthful to the minds of men of to-day. It has not destroyed the fact of inspiration. It has simply changed our major ground of belief therein. The Word is as inspired as it ever was. No theological statement, however, learned or carefully worded, can alter the fact. If the examination of the Scripture has restated the grounds for our belief in the divinity of Christ, it has been simply to intensify our intellectual acceptance of the fact of His divineness. For He who was the fullness of grace and truth depends not on any theological formula for demonstration or justification. For He was divine ere men began to prove Him so. We ought to be thankful that the test has come. For out of the fire has emerged a stronger faith in the inspired.Word of God, a clearer comprehension of the reasons for our faith. And it were worth while to go through fire and through flood to secure that. Gospelism has eliminated many a perplexity. It has clarified much of the obscurity of the scripture records. It has brought the testimony of the four ends of the earth to the substantiation of the accuracy in every essential part of God's most Holy Word. It has given us a larger knowledge. - It has given us a surer knowledge. Except, for those who were nearest to the events that are chronled in Scripture, there has been none more accurately informed, so far as we have light concerning the facts of Scripturethan are we to-day. The more I read of the researches and results achieved by critical students of the Bible and of the lands with which it intimately associates itself the more am I convinced that the investigation is worth whatever it may cost and that it is providential. And I am also convinced that we would do well to go slow about discounting the opinions concerning the Scripture and the facts therein recited that have been held true in days long past. It is a good thing that we should remember that the sum of human wisdom is not resident in us and that our forefathers were not fools. This is an intensely critical and scientific age. It demands proof and evidence that heretofore was not deemed necessary or reverent. But the more we read and hear the more we are led to believe that the fathers, in not so informed and scientific an age, were not so deluded when they accepted on faith that for which we demand proof. For we get the proof when we ask for it, so it would seem, and it is very largely confirmatory of the past. The gates of hell cannot prevail against the Bible. For it is the truthful record of the largest longings, the wickedest sins, the most delightful religious exaltations of individuals and a people. Its human interest is superb. It meets our lives at every point. It has comfort for the sorrowing, peace for the afflicted, inspiration for the heavy-hearted, enthusiasm for the discouraged, admonition for the wicked, salvation for the penitent. The farmer feels its vitality, the shepherd acknowledges its appeal, the rich man learns its lessons, the poor man thanks God for itsocracy. It is the book of the people, for it is redolent with the life of the people. And wherever there is a soul in torment, wherever there is a man who mourns, wherever there is a woman with a broken heart, wherever there is a mind in gloom, or a body that is racked with pain, there will the Bible be and be enjoyed. For it radiates the deeper she speaks to honesty of the deepest things, life it warns us of the congenues of evil and the satisfacions of righteousness. The Bible's as intelligible to youth as to old age. It has a message for all. It can charm a boy with its heroes as a man with its profound philosophy. It can animate a girl as it can inspire and intensify a woman's love for God. And it does these things. And because it does it will never grow stale or profitless or valueless. It will ever stand. "The Word of our God shall stand forever." It is eternal. It is not the creature of time. It is the child of eternity. And it would stand forever if for no other reason than that it unfolds the earthly history of the incarnate God. So long as the Bible speaks of Christ as the one or he is its inspiration. The development Him its mission. And so long as men shall sin and need salvation, so long as souls shall turn to God in Christ for aid, so long will men love the Scripture and magnify its force. Shallow thinkers may enlarge the difficulties that inhere within the Scripture. Bad men may quote it for their evil ends. Foolish men may twist its meanings and assure us of its fallibility. But the Bible will stand. It will stand forever. And when we are gone and the countless generations that shall follow us have come and gone the long way in our steps the Bible will be here. For it is the Word of the Lord. Let us never forget it! And it shall endlessly perdure. A Rise by Self-Sacrifice. Enough has been gaid of the fall by self-ill to show us that man must rise by self-sacrifice. To grow this passion within him were all the sacrifices to which God led him in his weary history. More and more nearly did God reveal Himself unto man, until in the self-sacrifice of Calvary the heart of man was taken and God's self-sacrifice began the life of self-sacrifice in humanity. "The glory of God and of the Lamb is light thereof." Enough has been said of the city—its divine socialism—to show that to reach it each man must begin to live for others, that his whole life must be a life of meekness and burden-bearing. God through the ages revealed Himself as the bearer of man's burdens and by this revelation lifted men slowly to a life of mutual helpfulness, until at last in the sin-bearer He disclosed Himself as the victim of Calvary. The future social organization after that could have no other light but that of the glory of God in the slain Lamb. Enough has been said of holiness in man—of saithood—to show that the city of God will be inhabited—if it is the Holy City—by those who have met with foes and vanquished them, by those who have known the cross before they saw the crown. I look into John's vision and hear the unuttered philosophy of spiritual power, as the redeemed come home. First, the new heavens, then the new earth, Vision, then action. Men like colonists who have now and then graced them a vision of how things ought to be and ideal, in the land of which they are from beyond. By and by they get there the reality comes out of them to meet the reality which ever hath been there. So by His spirit we put into our hearts the idea of the brotherhood of man, under God, in Christ Jesus—Dr. F. A. Gausulaus. "Poor. Yet Making Many Rich." The Church Times gives an interesting little account of a poor girl, blind and deaf, an inmate of a North Devon workhouse, who "lives a life of prayer in her darkness and solitude." To this afflicted one the initiative, of the organization of the Missionary Candidates' Fund of the S. P. G. may be traced. That fund now has reached the sum, of over £3000, subscribed in a comparatively short time, the first item being the three shillings saved by the blind girl. The writer of the notice says: "She was in a little bare ward in the workhouse when I saw her, looking very sad because her Braille copy of the Mission Field had been torn. She asked me to pray for her, and then told us not only to pray for missions, but also for the parish, for Sunday-schools and Bands of Hope, etc.; and one, felt rebuked as one thought of her life of prayer, always thinking of and interceding for others in her darkness and silence."

SUFFERED TWENTY-FIVE YEARS With Eczema—Her Limb Peeled and Foot Was Raw—Thought Amputation' Necessary—Belleves Her Life Saved by Cuticura. "I have been treated by doctors for twenty-five years for a bad case of eczema on my leg. They did their best, but failed to cure it. My doctor had advised me to have my leg cut off. At this time my leg was peeled from the knee, my foot was like a piece of raw flesh, and I had to walk on crutches. I bought a set of Cuticura Remedies. After the first two treatments the swelling went down, and in two months my leg was cured and the new skin came on. The doctor was surprised and said that he would use Cuticura for his own patients. I have now been cured over seven years, and but for the Cuticura Remedies I might have lost my life. Mrs. J. B. Renaud, 277 Mentana St., Montreal, Que., Feb. 20, 1907."

Men who say women are inclined to spend their leisure hours discussing clothes and scandal are now being "got back at" by an Englishwoman. Mrs. J. D Hay Shaw says that to the average man the question as to what form of nourishment will best meet the approval of his digestive apparatus is a source of never-falling interest and anxiety, and as a topic of conversation it never falls to enthrall his attention. There are few men who have not pet theories on the subject of food in general, and their own food in particular, Mrs. Shaw says. It is among his own sex that the food faddist finds his most enthusiastic disciples.—New York Press.

Grand Master Butler Writes of De ' struction of Property. mt af In regard to the storles of destruc- tion of Negro lodges in Early county, ‘The Constitution has recelved the fol- lowing communteation from H. R. Butler, Grand Master “for Georgla:- Edftor Constitution: As Grand Mas- ter of the Colored Free and Accepted Masons of the stafe and jurisdiction of Georgia, I feel it my duty to say a few words to the public at this time relative to that fraternity. “ I have read in the papers recently of the blowing up of the halls of col- lored secret societies in this state. I paid little attention to It until today, when I received a very sad communi- cation from a member of our Masonic lodge at Blakely, Ga,, stating that their hall at that place had been blown to atoms. What I wish to state to the public is, that everx colored Masonic lodge In the state is a monument to honesty, good citizenship and purity in the com- raunity in which they exist. The 7,000 members of that fraternity scattered lover the entire state are made up of the best men in the state; men who have’ made themselves a part of the communities In which they lye by owning their homes and who live hon- est and respéctable lives in their re- spective communities. ‘These men have met as Masons, worked as Masons and every man who, 1s a Mason knows what.I mean when I say that, to Smproye themselves and te prepare to care for -their widows land orphans. *:They have deprived themselves and have “bought twenty ners of* land, ,at -Americus, Ga.,’on lwhich they have' erected .an Industrial school for the orphans: and half or |phans of deceased members: of th fraternity. -In thig way they are Jend fing their humble efforts to the state lin its endeayor t6 care for its poor and helpless and at the same time ‘reduce the population of, the chain |sangs. I feel sure that those who arc [responsible for the destruction of the {halls and properties of these humble jstfugeling men are not aware of’ the great good these» colored Masons are {doing for their communities ana the state. It-any one doubts what I am [saying Jet them write any of the lead: ing bankers and business men, of Amer. jlcus, with whom we spend hundreds o1 jdollars every year for the support of jour orphans’ home arid industrial school, |. tm Srder to Improve ourselves in ,Masonry and raise funds to carry on ‘our work, It is necessary to hold meet- ings; further, it is necessary to have halls to meet In, hence it {s a great mistake and an Injustice to destroy the halls. | | ‘Every white Mason in the state is asked to lend every effort he can in protecting the property of the colored Masons. It is not a political organt- ization, neither is it a labor union. It stand for all that is great, good and noble in humanity. ‘ It Is a serlous mistake to destroy the property of any people. They be- come dissatisfied and lose confidence in the officers of the law and will move away, leaving the community without labor. dissatisfied people, a people with no confidence in their officer, a hopeless people, are dangerous people. I would urge that as far as possible ‘these people In every community be ‘made satisfied, that the officers“ind cit- fzens protect their property and hold ‘out to them a helpful and friendly hand, . « H.

Hart through Candler, Thomson '& Hirsch, Judge Pendleton’s order makes no distinction between notes held by the bank and notes which have been hypothecated, but those fa- millar with the law declare that the order will apply only to nojes now actually held by the bank. This matter has been the subject of a great deat of interesting discussion since the state authorities took charge of the bank, Some Have held that all obligations would have to be met and that depositors who owe ~the. bank would have to take their chance of getting thelr money back the same as depositors who are not In debt to the bank, claiming that any set-off would make a preferred creditor of the de positor who happened to owe the bank.

There seems to be practicall¥ no division of opinion ag to the fact that where the bank has sold a note the giver must meet It at maturity whether any deposit he“may have had in the bank is returned to him or not.

This appiles to similar checks not yet reported and not on the List, at- tached to the petition as an exhibit. In describing the noteS in question the petition, stated that there were numerdus notes and other evidences of indebtedness ‘signed by customers with deposits on hatid at the time a receiver was appointed, some of which have been become due and som@ ara approaching maturity, that depositors had claimed and would claim setoffs, and it was asked that such notes should receive the credit of deposits, As to the checks on other banks, It set out that drawers had ordered pay- ment on them stopped before presen- tation and that the order was obeyed by the bank, This was before a re. celver was!named and before the fact of insolvency. The petitioners asked that the amounts of these unpald checks be charged off the accounts and returned to the depositors, Deputy Sheriff Dan Perkerson took charge of the“stock-of dry goods, mer- chanldse, etc., of @.

In High Uate,“cemetery, London, was - exhumed Monday morning, just forty- three years-to a day after its burial. The_coffin was foimd to contain the remaffs of a human body, thus ex-, ploding the romantic tale told by Rob- ert C. Caldwell and others during the recent hearing of the Druce perjary ° case that It contained a roll of lead. , |The official statement given out by~ the home office and others officially present at the exhumation seems ef- tectively to prove that the body buried in 1864 was actually that T. C. Druce- ‘The authorized statement follows: “The coffin opened and found to von- tain the body of an aged bearded man; the plate on the coffin bord the ndine of Thomas ”Charles Druce.” ‘The scene at High Gate~ cemétery when the vault was opened’was re- markable. All the entrances to tue cemetery were surrounded by cordonz ” police. Only those persons who had - Sasses trom the ‘home office were 2d mitted to the grounds. George Hol- - lamby Druce, who claims he is tho rightful helr to the Portland duke- dom,and to ifs vast estate, tried un.# svecessfully twice to get into the cem-! etery. io’ ~ The operation began at daybreak Monday with the removal of the top- most coffins In the vault containing the bodies of a wife and a son of T. C. Druce. It was’ nearly 11:30 before the coffin was brought ready for open- Ing and inspection. The top was quickly unscrewed and the jnner cas- ing of lead cut open. ‘There was no need for the dictum of _ the eminent surgeon, Augustus J. Pep~ per, to assure all present that human remains lay in the coffin. ‘The Druce vault has thus given up Its secret after ten years of leghl pro- ceedings ‘which have cost a constdera- ble fortune. A large part of this mon- ey was obtained from servant gifls and other workers who were {aduced to buy shares in a company formed to prosecute the claims of George Hol- lamby Druce against the estate of the duke of Portland, which produces an annual income of $750,000. ‘The charge of perjury against Her- bert Druce Is effectively disposed of, and those persons who have sworn to the placing of lead instead of a hu- man body in the coffin have been dis- credited. ° ‘A New York dispatch says: Robert C. Caldwell, whose testimony as.a wit- ness in the Druce case led to the reopening of the grave of T. C.

Caldwell was arrested when he arrived from Europe, December 21. Caldwell's ‘story of the alleged dual personality of the duke of Portland was the real sensation of one af the most remarkable legal cases which has ever’ engaged-the attention of the British cgprts. ‘The reopening of the Druce (grdve was undertaken as a final effort of the government to prove that Caldwell'sgtestimony was “wil- ful and corrupt perjyry.” Caldwell's story Was to the effect that the duke of Portland and T. C. Druce, a London storekeeper, were one and the sime.
