VOL. XXIII. Van Cleave Says Most of Them Should Be Hoeing. TAFT DUBBED STRADLER Head of Manufacturers' Association Delivers Address Before Large Gathering of Chattanooga Business Men. That Secretary Taft has straddled the question of organized labor, and has, therefore, lost the nomination for president, is the opinion of James W. Van Cleave of St. Louis, expressed in his Invective against some of methods employed by the American Federation of Labor in his speech on "The Industrial South," before a representative gathering of Chattanooga's manufacturers Wednesday night. In his address, Mr. Van Cleave told of the wonderful growth of the south since the civil war, telling of the successes of the day, and of the dangers which were besetting manufacturers and which should be guarded against. Among the problems which he said had to be solved was that of labor. He also paid his respects to the average legislatures in the southern states declaring that manufacturers should pay closer attention to political questions, and see that the right kind of representatives were sent to pass the right kind of laws. His reference to what he considered the probable defeat of Secretary Taft followed a quotation from a press dispatch to the effect that Samuel Gompers intended to enter the political field and organize a party composed of members of the American Federation of Labor. He said he would be only too glad if the party was organized, as it would prevent such men as Taft from being afraid of the chimera of organized labor. Among other warnings given manufacturers by Mr. Van Cleave was one to protect their interests against the passage of unjust laws. He said that this could be done by sending the best kind of men to the legislature. He advised them to pay more attention to political subjects and to elections. "I was in a legislative hall recently," said Mr. Van Cleave, "and I saw fifty men whom I would not pay $40 a week to sell stoves for me, and yet they were sent to the legislature. Many of those who are making our laws for us should be working in the mill or hoeing corn." PAROLE GRANTED "BILLIE" BATES Girl Was Dressed as a Boy and Doing the Regular Tramp Act. "Billie" Bates, the girl who dressed as a boy and was sent from Houston county, Alabama, to the mines after conviction of riding on trains unlawfully, has been paroled by Governor Comer, along with Joseph Bates, her brother. When the two were tried at Dothan it was thought that both were men, as both wore trousers, but on arrival at Flat Top mines it was found that "Billie" was a girl, and not a bad looking one at that. Many citizens in different parts of the state interested themselves in the case and urged the governor to release the girl. They were tramping from Jacksonville, Fla., to Terre-Haute, Ind. STARCH MIXER EXPLODES. Five People Killed and Plant a Complete Wreck. Five persons are believed to have been killed by the explosion of a mixer in the starch factory of C. S. Tanner at Providence, R. I., Wednesday afternoon. Three other persons were injured. The building was wrecked by the explosion and fire following, completely destroyed the plant. FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER. Former New Orleans Police Chief Is Held—Assistants Discharged. Former Inspector of Police Edward Whitaker, charged with shooting at Joseph Leveque, a local newspaper man, with intent to kill, was held under two thousand dollars' bond for the action of the criminal district court when the preliminary hearing in the case was concluded in New Orleans Wednesday afternoon. The five detectives who accompanied Whitaker when he went to Leveque's office were discharged. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 15. 1908. TEDDY TURNED DOWN. Exceeded Authorily In Appointing Rosser Temporary Head of Government Printing Office. A Washington special says: William S. Rossiter, appointed by President Roosevelt as acting public printer in place of Public Printer Stillings, who is under suspension pending an investigation of the affairs of his office, went to the treasury department Friday to have his bond approved. The department refused to consider the matter, on the ground that the president had exceeded his authority in appointing Mr. Rossiter; that the assistant public printer, Captain H. T. Brian, succeeds to the vacancy. Under this informal ruling Mr. Rossiter later in the day stepped aside and his place was taken by Captain Brian, who will administer the government printing office as public printer for the time being. Mr. Rossiter, however, does not relinquish the work of inquiry laid out for him by the president. His position in the government printing office becomes that of the president's personal representative and he is proceeding with the investigation upon which he is to base his report to the president of conditions existing there and of the best methods of putting the big plant on a business basis. Chairman Lands of the joint congressional committee,which is investigating alleged irregularities in the government printing office,has given out the following statement: "The printing investigation committee has been for some months engaged in the investigation of information which will afford a complete analysis of the problem of public printing, for the departments and for congress for the last three years. The commission started this inquiry on November 13 by a letter addressed to the various executive departments. The replies to this inquiry will cover all of the government publications and will divide the printing into two classes—publications and miscellaneous. An inquiry was also addressed to the government printing office calling for still further information. None of these reports are as yet completed and after they have been submitted it is likely that several weeks will be occupied in compiling and analyzing their data. While a comparison of cost is not the primary object of this inquiry, it is one of the important objects and it is the purpose of the commission to make the investigation as thorough as possible." The act under which the treasury department decided not to accept Mr. Rossiter's bond was that of January 12, 1895, which provides that in case of death, resignation, absence or illness of the public printer, the chief clerk of the government printing office should perform the duties of public printer until a successor was appointed or such absence or illness shall cease. It also provides that the president in his discretion authorize and direct any other officer of the government whose appointment is vested in the president by and with the advice and consent of the senate to temporarily perform the duties of the vacant office. Under the ruling of the treasury officials, Mr. Rossiter can have no other standing than that of personal representative of the president without specific authority in matters pertaining to the management of the office. PENNYPACKER INVOLVED? Name of Pennsylvania Ex-Governor is Mentioned in Graft Case. The names of former Governor Pennypacker and former Attorney General Hampton L. Carson were brought into the capitol prosecutions at Harrisburg, Pa., by the testimony of Stanford B. Lewis, assistant of Architect Joseph M. Huston, at the trial for alleged conspiracy of Contractor J. H. Sanderson, former Auditor General Snyder, former State Treasurer Mathues and for mer. Public Buildings Superintendent Shumaker. MORE WORK OF NIGHT RIDERS. Well-Armed Mob Visits Farms, Use Torch, Guns and Lash. Night riders between thirty-five and fifty strong, well-armed and mounted, visited the farms of Hugh C. Lawrence and Wash Tucker, within three miles of Adams, Tenn., Friday night, destroyed the barns on both farms, together with 20,000 pounds of tobacco, shot and wounded Lawrence and his son, Bradley Lawrence, and whipped a negro in an unmerciful manner. SPLIT IN FLORIDA Among the Republicans Over Taft and Roosevelt. STRENUOUS CONVENTION Contested Delegations from State Will Go to Chicago—Two Conventions Under Way at the Same Time In One Hall. Florida republicans held their convention in St. Augustine Thursday to select delegates to the national convention, and it is said that the strenuous and exciting scenes enacted are merely a forecast of similar scenes in other southern states, caused by the effort being made by the anti-Roosevelt republicans for control in the national convention. The gathering was really two conventions held at the same time in the same hall. The progress of these being frequently interrupted by sensational knock-down and dragout fights. The officeholders' faction was called to order by the chairman of the state committee, and they proclaimed themselves as the regulars, but they did not succeed in carrying out their prearranged program. The Taft sentiment was too strong for the leaders to hold in check and strong resolutions were adopted emphatically indorsing William H. Taft for the presidency. On the other side of the hall the contesting convention chose delegates absolutely untrammeled by any instructions. The officeholders' convention adopted resolutions approving of the policies of the Roosvelt administration and the conservative manner in which he has carried them out, and instructed the delegates elected to the president's policies and the candidate who is in sympathy with and who will carry out those policies, and then proceeded to name William H. Taft as such candidate. The anti-Taft convention adopted resolutions condemning in strong terms the attempts to influence and control, by use of federal patronage, through governmental officeholders, the selection of delegates to the national convention in the interest of any presidential candidate. The congressional district conventions of the first and second districts of Florida were held by each faction immediately after adjournment of the state convention and each of these conventions elected two delegates to the national convention and adopted the same resolutions as the state conventions of their respective factions had already adopted. GRAFT IN PUBLIC PRINTERY. "Gold Brick" Audit System Ordered Ejected by Roosevelt. Concurring in the recommendation of Acting Public Printer Rossiter, the president Thursday cancelled the contract of the government with the Audit System, and ordered its ejection from the government printing office. The Audit System is the corporate name of the cost ascertaining method installed more than a year ago by Public Printer Stillings. Under its operation the government has paid about $120,000 for the simple privilege of calculating the cost of printing. BANDIT BUNCOES BRITONS.

Lloyd, representative from the first district of Missouri, was Monday night elected chairman of the democratic congressional campaign committee, defeating his rival and Mr. Williams' candidate, Representative William H. Ryan of New York by a vote of 23 to 14. Tribune. FOR PARCELS POST Farmers' Union is Working With Might and Main. APPEALING TO CONGRESS System Is Backed Up by Postmaster General Meyer, Who Talks Most Encouragingly of the Plan. Will Benefit Merchants. A Washington special says: The Farmers' Union all over the country have taken up actively the work of pushing the parcels post system advocated by the postmaster general in his last annual report. It appears that while the sentiment among the farmers in favor of this extension of the postal service is very strong, the country merchants are apprehensive lest the adoption of the parcels post system should seriously and harmfully affect their business. Several bills are now pending in congress providing for the introduction of a limited parcels post service to meet the merchants' objections. This proposed service will be confined to the rural routes radiating from one distributing center. The proposed regulations fix the limit of weight for packages, which may be sent by mail at 11 pounds, instead of 4 at at present. ing 4 ounces . . . . . . . . . 3 cents Over 4 ounces and not exceed- ing 5 ounces . . . . . . . . 4 cents Over 5 ounces and not exceed- ing 6 ounces . . . . . . . 5 cents Over 6 ounces and not exceed- ing 8 ounces . . . . . . . 6 cents Over 8 ounces and not exceed- ing 12 ounces . . . . . . 9 cents Over 12 ounces and not ex- ceeding 1 pound . . . . . 12 cents For a local parcels post on rural route the department proposes the follow- ing rate: limit of 11 pounds . . . . . . 2 cents 2 ounces or less . . . . . . . 1 cent Over 2 and up to 4 ounces . . . 2 cents Over 4 and up to 8 ounces . . . 3 cents Over 8 and up to 12 ounces . . . 4 cents Over 12 ounces and up to 1 pound . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 cents It will be readily seen that under this plan local merchants will be able to hold and increase their trade on the rural routes. It will give to the farmers and patrons of these routes an increased service from the R. F. D. over what they now enjoy. It is the belief of Postmaster General Meyer that the plans recommended by the postoffice department will benefit the country merchants instead of injuring their trade. MANY THOUSANDS DESTITUTE. Appeal for Suffering People in Philadelphia's Mill District. An appeal for aid for destitute people in the Kensington mill district of Philadelphia, one of the greatest industrial centers in the world, was made at a meeting Monday of the Central Labor Union. The union claimed that from 35,000 to 50,000 men, women and children in the district are in need of relief. TIRED OF COMMISSION. City of Rome, Ga., Wants Sections of New Law Repealed. After an experience of a few months with, the enlarged powers of the railroad commission, the city of Rome, Ga., is heartily tired of it, and the council has asked for the repeal of certain sections of the act giving the enlarged powers. These are the sections relating to the control of street railway, electric light and power, gas, telephone and waterworks companies by the state commission. FIGHT ON HUNDLEY. A Washington special: The subcommittee of the senate committee on the judiciary appointed to investigate the charges against Judge O. R. Hundley, whose appointment as federal judge of the northern district of Alabama, is before the senate for confirmation, met Saturday and examined T. G. Bush of Birmingham, one of the receivers of the Southern Steel company, whose appointment by Hundley is held against his record. During the hearing a query was propounded as to whether Senator Johnston of Alabama had recommended the appointment of Bush to Judge Hundley. Senator Johnston, who was present at the hearing, emphatically denied this was the case. He said he was a friend of Bush, but had made no recommendation concerning the appointment as a receiver. Augustus Benners, attorney for the creditors of the Southern Steel company, who drew the complaint against the board of receivers and trustees appointed by Hundley, was recalled by the committee and asked for an explanation of a resolution offered in a creditor's meeting by the president of the First National Bank of Birmingham, commending the receivers Hundley had placed in power. This resolution was supported by Benners, but he said that subsequent acts of the receivers had not justified it. ANOTHER ROTTEN CASE ENDS. Chicago Woman, Who Killed Lover, is Freed by Jury. Mrs. Dora McDonald, who has been on trial in Chicago since January 20 on the charge of murdering Webster Guerin, was acquitted by a jury in the criminal court Tuesday night. The verdict was reached after six and a half hours' deliberation. The defendant, who is the widow of Michael C. McDonald, formerly a political leader in Chicago, received the verdict without emotion. Webster S. Guerin was shot and killed in his studio in the Omaha building, LaSalle and Van Buren streets, February 21, 1907. Mrs. McDonald was alone with him when the tragedy occurred and was immediately arrested and charged with the murder. Her husband and Leopold Freeman, president of the Champion Chemical Works, signed ball bonds for $50,000 after her indictment, March 30,-1907. The shock of the tragedy proved disastrous to McDonald and he dled August 9, 1907,"after an illness of several weeks. His fortune was left to the accused woman, and his two sons, one the child of a former marriage. Special provision was made in his will for Mrs. McDonald's defense. It developed at the trial that Guerin and Mrs. Dora McDonald had been more or less intimate for almost ten years, their relations having begun when Guerin was less than 17 years of age. The state asserted that Guerin had attempted to dissolve these relations and that the woman shot him in a jealous rage. The defense attacked Guerin's character, asserting that he had systematically blackmailed Mrs. McDonald for years. The trial attracted unusually large crowds, and on several occasions the police and balliffs had to unite forces to hold the would-be spectators in check. HITCH IN EXTRADITION. Embezzler Walker May Not be Turned Over to United States. Because the extradition papers arrived six days after the expiration of the period stipulated by the treaty between the United States and Mexico, that a prisoner may be held in either country for the other, William Walker, accused of embezzling $65,000 from a New Britain, Conn., bank and now in jail at Ensenada, Mexico, may secure his immediate freedom. Upon the technicality thus developed it is said Walker is preparing to put up a fight for liberty. Was Tried on Charge of Killing Jamu D. Money, Jr. The jury at Greenwood, Miss., before whom Dr. J. W. Kirby was on trial for two days, charged with the killing of James D. Money, Jr., returned a verdict adjudging Dr. Kirby "not guilty." The killing was the result of a family feud. For the South are Brought Before Congress. TEN MILLIONS SOUGHT Bill Is Reported by Claima Committee and Southerners Will Get an Immense Sum if It Passes. A Washington special dispatch says: About $10,000,000 may be secured from the government by the people of the south if a bill reported unanimously by the house committee on war claims becomes a law. The bill gives to the court of claims jurisdiction of the claims for abandoned lands and property which was sold during the civil war, and the proceeds turned into the United States treasury. During the progress of the civil war the government authorized the seizure and sale of abandoned land and the net proceeds placed in the United States treasury. There was a provision that if any one should begin suit within two years after the close of the war and prove that the property, sold belonged to him, the money received for it should be paid over, but to this the citizen bringing the suit had to submit loyalty to the union. This disqualified most southerners until the amnesty proclamation was declared in 1866, which came too late to take the claims to court, the two years limit having expired. The object of this bill is to enable the original owners of the confiscated property to get the money it brought when sold. Makes Confession Regarding Escape of Harper and Barton. Joe Williams, one of the Atlanta tower trusties, indicted by the grand jury for aliding in the recent escape of John Harper and John Barton, has made a confession, in which he implicates very strongly Jaller James Brown, who was also indicted. According to his statement, he and Brown had all to do with the delivery, and John Groves, the other trusty, against whom a true bill was returned, is innocent of any crime. He says that he makes this clean breast of it because his conscience hurts him, and to admit his guilt relieves the torture. Now he throws himself on the mercy of the court. Williams made his confession on oath, and declares he will swear in court, that Brown was a party to the crime, that he first mentioned it and told the two trusiles to see Harper and ascertain what they could get out of the job. The sum of $75 was paid Williams by Harper, and this was to be divided with Brown; but before the two could get together for the division, Brown left the tower, and Williams, knowing that he would be searched went to a toilet room and throw the currency, away. Fixed by Democratic Executive Com- mittee for May 10. The Florida democratic state executive committee met in Jacksonville Tuesday and fixed May 10 as date for primary elections to nominate a United States senator, congressmen in each of the three districts and all state and county officers. A second primary will be field June 16 for all officers where candidates do not secure a majority at the first primary. Arthur Williams was elected chairman of the committee, vice Duncan U. Fletcher, who is a candidate for United States senator. PROHIS BEFORE COMMITTEE. Delegation Urges Barring of Whiskey Shipments Into Dry States. Shipments into Dry States.

Taft, four delegates at large and twenty-two district dele- gates to the national convention in Chicago and a list of delegates to the state convention to be held March 3, which will be unanimously in his fa- yor. Hardin county held no prima~ ries. No opposition worth mentioning de- veloped during the day. The supreme court destroyed all chances of success by the Foraker faction In Cuyahoga county by declaring that the Taft com- mittee was the only valid organization of its kind-in that county, and the-se- lection of delegates there went by de- fault, no ticket being placed in the field againsththe Taft candidates, In Knox county,the opposition to Taft had brought an “Independent's ticket into the field, the mdependents, however, being all Foraker men. The Taft candidates ‘won easily—the vote being about four to one in their fa- vor. ~ The following statement was issued Tuesday night by Arthur I. Vorys, the manager of fhe Taft presidential cam- paign: . “Ohio is for Taft. The result at the primaries Tuesday completes the demonstration. Every county, except one With seven delegates, now has se- lected its delegates to the state ‘con- vention, Every county has selected Taft delegates.

By E. L. SECHRIST, a Missionary in Mashonaland. In the high lands of Rhodesia (South Africa) there live the Matthones, who are probably the somewhat degraded descendants of the people who once worked the gold mines of ancient Ophir. No man can tell the reason for the rise and fall of these people. We only know that they are now so low in the scale of intelligence that it is hard to understand how their ancestors made the great excavations and the buildings with which they are credited. Perhaps the ruling people were some Arabic or Phoenician adventurers, who left so little of their civilization here that when they went away even the memory of them was forgotten. What may be an evidence of their stay is the occasional hooked nose and thin lips of some negro who is often more intelligent than his fellows. The Mashona people are of the Bantu race, but are lower than the Zulu or Matabele; in fact, their name means "the dirty, or filthy people." The whites are now coming into the country, developing its abandoned mines and exploiting mineral wealth of which the ancient miners never dreamed. The native must supply the labor, but he does not much enjoy it. He prefers to go to school and learn to read and write and sing and be a teacher or a preacher. Still he wants the clothes and symbols of civilization, and will work to obtain them. There is, however, occasionally a man who has some brains and is willing to work for the betterment of the condition of himself and his people. These few justify the efforts of the various missions and schools that are working among the natives. The industrial schools teaching the dignity and worth of labor have something of a struggle. The native of these plateaus must work or starve, as his land does not flow with milk and honey. The fruits are small and poor. Cattle there were in times past, but the dreadful plagues have reduced the herds till few, besides the kings, have cattle. One king, whose people number about seven thousand scattered thinly over his territory, has a herd of about thirty cattle. The natives really live the simple life, and are comparatively well and healthy until they begin to acquire the clothes and vices of civilization. During this transition stage the native is a queer creature. When he learns the proper use of clothes—when he learns that if he has three suits it does not mean that all should be worn at the same time while he works and perspires at a temperature of ninety degrees or higher; when he learns that a lao cloth and a derby or straw hat are incongruous, then he will also have learned some things about hygiene and sanitation that will make a different being of him. At present he wears his clothes day and night until they are too tattered to hang on his body. Then he acquires another garment, and behold! the old one is kept in its proper place because the new one covers and holds it with all its grease and grime. On this account sensitive nostrils suffer much. That the simple life is healthful is attested by the fact that these people, who live amid conditions of filth in which they should, by right, die off like files, continue to increase and multiply. A hnt ten feet in diameter, this is the Mashona's home. It has a door so low he must crawl into it. Dogs, goats and fowls are also its tenants. It is warmed by a fire in the centre, which also cooks his food. The white visitor is soon warned by suffering eyes and lungs that it is no place for him, as the smoke only finds egress through the thatch roof. True, the muguitoes are driven out, but the native cares little for mosquitoes. His food is meal of native grains, ground by the women on a flat stone by rubbing with another stone held in the hands. A very primitive way it is, and one which continually wears away small pieces of the hard granite to mingle with the meal. These sharp particles are very trying to the stomach of the white man, but the native seems to have the stomach of an ostrich, and thrives on it. Some grains are also ground or stamped to powder in a mortar made from the trunk of a tree. Go with me to a village in the early morning and you will find the smoke rising from each hut through the grass roof. A fire is burning for warmth, and to cook the food which the women will be grinding on the stones, and one hears on all sides the crunch, crunch of grinding. The most common native grain is a small millet, from which is made a red pottage, the same for which Esau sold his birthright. The meal is stirred into boiling water until it is as thick as it can be stirred with a long stick held in both hands. This half-cooked mass is taken out and tossed into a hasket or a plate and patted into a loaf of the color of chocolate and of the consistency of dough. This India rubber-like mass may not be the equal of the multicooked, triple-digested health foods, but it seems to suit these children of nature. By the time it is cooled the rest of the meal is ready. This may be peanuts roasted in the ashes, some one of the native beans, greens of various kinds, pumpkin, or meat. It is meat if it can be had, and the gift by the traveler of a tin of preserved beef is highly appreciated. The native is almost omnivorous in the matter of meat. Killed freshly or ready for a feast for the buzzards, it is all one to him. He may roast it on the stones by the fire, or stew it in a coarsely-made earthen-pot. A chunk of "sadza," the porridge between thumb and finger, dipped into the stew, or with a morsel pulled off the meat, is devoured with a noise as of a horse crunching its feed of grain. If no fresh meat is at hand the store of locusts may be opened and a few handfuls heated on the fire—these are eaten with great ralish after the legs and wings have been snapped off. The Mashonas are quite abstemious usually, but if the white man furnishes the food they can store away most surprising quantities. Other delicacies are caterpillars and some of the ants. The ants are really delicous, having a sweet, nutty flavor when roasted, but I cannot vouch for the taste of the caterpillars. My stomach is injured to many things, but there are limits. The caterpillar caten is of the furry kind, striped. It is gathered into baskets, laid on the rocks, and trodden by the feet or rolled under a flat stick until its feathers are rubbed off or mussed up considerably, then it is stewed for a few minutes, and is ready for the savory stew into which the mouthful of dough is to be dipped. The men have been sitting outside around a fire while the food was being prepared. After eating they go about their various duties, and are in the open air until nightfall. They sometimes travel almost incredible distances on a journey or after game, and sometimes run down a rabbit or small antelope. The women do most of the work in the gardens, although the men do the preliminary work of clearing the scrubby timber of the ground selected for the gardens. This clearing does not come every year, as they work on a plot of ground until it is exhausted before clearing another. The women dig up the earth into ridges with their hoes shaped like a pancake, sow the grain, cultivate and harvest it. The grain is stored in temporary granaries near the thrashing floor, which is a flat rock or of hard, smooth earth, until it is thoroughly dry. Then it is beaten out with sticks, winnowed by tossing from a basket in the wind, and, finally, stored in granaries of reeds or grass, covered inside and out with mud. These granaries are usually built on rocks, and are of all sizes, from the small one to hold a few pounds, perhaps of melon seeds, to the large ones, six feet tall by three feet in diameter. They are roofed with clay, and again with grass, and are only opened when needed for use. Great quantities of the grains are purchased by traders and sold to the mines, etc., as food for their laborers. Everything is carried on the heads of the women; there are no other beasts of burden. At noon the natives usually rest from their work and have a lunch, a small piece of "sadza" left from the morning meal and a pot of "doro." the native beer, usually sufficing. This beer may be either mild or quite intoxicating, and is made from the same native millet. It is thick and gruel-like, and is quite nutritious. Doro is one of the greatest curses and most degrading influences of the country. A crowd will get together in the afternoon with immense pots of beer and drink as long as the beer lasts, winding up with a dance and often a fight. The dances may be anything from a simple child's play to most immoral affairs. Many of the dances are religious caremonies connected with the management of the affairs of the people. The evening meal is prepared in the hut, usually after dark, and is the same as that of the morning. Soon all are asleep in the garments bearing the fifth and soil of the day's work. And still they live and thrive. Rearing children is the woman's business, and she is rarely seen without one on her back, and often a smaller one in her arms. The babies are comical little fellows, too, often frightened at the sight of a white face, but soon becoming friendly. King Maranki, in whose territory I have spent some time, is a good specimen of a barbarian gentleman. He was deprecating, one day, the tendency of many of the black people to steal, and his reasons were perhaps as good as those given by most white men. Said he: "It is not good to steal from white men, for the police will catch them and put them in prison. It is not good to steal from Kaffirs, either. When I get drunk and lie down to sleep I do not want to wake up and find my assegals and sticks gone." One day, as we were walking over his gardens photographing, we came across the old man, not drunk enough to lie down, but enough so to be happy. He talked so much that we could hardly get away, and then he walked along with us sending his women off after presents. We finally hurried away, leaving our boys to depart when they could, and when they caught up with us they had three pumpkins, some bunches of corn in the ear, and about a gallon of peanuts. He also made us several visits and was helpful to us in getting some good pictures of the natives and the scenery. Many of these views of the old life cannot be obtained in a few years, as things are changing rapidly. It will be well for the native when he passes this dangerous period of transition. The exposure of his skin to sun and air has no doubt had much to do with his good health. A dirty civilized garment is a dangerous thing and far from beautiful, or picturesque, white many of its younger people, clad chiefly in nature's garb, are both pleasing to the eye and as modest as can be desired. They are a polygamous but quite a moral people according to their standards. To the white man any sense of nudity is dispelled by the chocolate-brown skin, and one admires the texture of the glossy brown skin, the supple muscles, and the graceful proportions as he might a fine horse. Immodesty is not thought of; it is not in the native mind until implanted by the white man. Photography among the Mashonzis is somewhat difficult, as they are shy. It is only after some acquaintance and repeated visits and talk that they will drop their self-consciousness and go on with their work as though you were one of themselves. The Kafir industries have declined since the advent of the whites. Iron is no longer 'smelted, and only a few scattered smiths remain. The natives make a few seagals or knives. Most of their hoes, etc., are 'made in Germany' to the native pattern and sold from the traders' stores. The cheap prints have entirely replaced the old-time bark cloth. Iron pots, in many instances, take the place of the earthen ones. The water-jars, either of calabash shells or of earthenware, with perhaps a few criss-cross scratches for decoration, remain as of old. A few baskets are made, but with simple or no decoration, and the people know nothing of color. Black and white is all they seem to see. They are away below our American Indian in intellect or enterprise, but endure civilization better, taking what comes and not fretting under it. This makes the negro problem here serious. In traveling about this country one must of necessity use carriers, and this is work for the men. Each man carries his load of sixty pounds on his head or shoulder and trots off his fifteen miles a day. He can do twenty-five or more if necessity compels, but it is not wisdom to rush things. There is also the occasional donkey if one desires to ride. Walking is usually preferable and healthful, while if one is ill the hammock comes into service. If one travels but little during the rainy season there is little cause to fear sickness. There is fever, but mosquito netting prevents that, and for all but a few months of the year the climate of these plateaus is delightful for outdoor life. Pure air and sunshine, and some weather cool enough to be quite bracing, make this in reality a country for the white man, although it is but twenty degrees from the equator. The altitude of three thousand feet takes away most of the troubles of the tropics and leaves nearly the ideal climate where one can with comfort be outdoors all day and all night most of the year.—Leslie's Weekly. Turkish Farriery. Turkish horseshoes are simply a flat plate of iron with a hole in the middle. In his volume of "Personal Adventures" Colonel J. P. Robertson describes the extraordinary method of preparing the horse to be shod: 'The farrier takes a good long rope, doubles it, and knots a loop at the end to about the size of a good large horse-collar. This is to put over the horse's head after the manner of a horse-collar, the knot resting on the horse's chest. Then the two ends of rope are brought between his legs; each rope, then taken by a man, is hitched on to the fetlocks of his hind legs and brought through the loop in front; then by a hard, steady pull the hind legs are drawn up to the fore legs, and the horse falls heavily on his side. All four feet are then tied together by the fetlocks, the horse is propped up on his back, and the farrier sits quietly down beside him, takes off all the old shoes and puts on new. When the work is finished the horse is untied and allowed to get up. Punish the Officials. Punish future infraction of the laws by the corporations, but punish the officials and not the stockholders. If juries hesitate and fine the corporations, it is an act of great injustice; in short, it is an outrage. Let the present laws stand and watch their result, for the wise physician prescribes one medicine and watches its effect before prescribing another. Cease all threats or hard words about the corporations and capitalists, for such words are only idle and frighten a public already scared. And one may not forget that the savings banks are the great owners of corporation bonds and notes; are, in short, the trustees of the wages of the great wage-earning public, for the poor men lend to the rich corporations because they know that the notes of the rich corporations have always been their safest investment. —Henry Lee Higginson, in the Atlantic. Gray vs. Brown Camels. The length of a stage varies throughout Persia, depending on the character of the country, and is reckoned in farsaks, the old Greek pasasang. The farsak is a most elastic and uncertain measure, and as animals are paid for per farsak, as many as the credulity of the traveler will allow are crowded into each stage. "Fow far," I once asked an old Kurdish muleteer, "is a farsak?" "As far as one can distinguish a gray from a brown camel," was the discreet answer. They average about four miles, and the stage about six farsaks, or twenty-five miles.—"Diplomatist," in the Atlantic. By PRISCILLA LEONARD. Three years ago, as it is told, forty men, gathered in a church club in New York City, heard a graphic talk about the children's court, and how boys got into trouble and became criminals just because nobody cared enough about them to help them to become good men instead. "Is there anything we can do?" one man asked, and the speaker's reply was: "Yes. If each man here will take an interest in just one boy who has been in trouble, and at this critical time help him and be a sort of big brother, it will be a great service." The forty men volunteered to try. Forty trips were taken by them individually to forty tenements, and forty bad boys found, to their extreme astonishment, that they had "big brothers." The very first "hard case" visited was found in a tenement cellar. His older brother, of twelve, was out of work; his mother lay with consumption there in the cellar. In a week the big brother, an energetic young business man, had moved the whole family to rooms where the sunlight came and had found work for the older boy. No other charitable help was given, but the big brother became the bad boy's hero. The children's court never saw that boy again. He is now his big brother's pride, and on the way to an honorable, hard-working manhood. The forty big brothers organized a social club, and brought their youngsters together every other week, teaching them parliamentary law, and getting entrance for them to a large gymnasium, where trained instructors went to work to put them into good physical condition. But except for this club, the brotherhood was an individual affair. Each man visited his protege in the boy's own home, took him out to a baseball game, or for a ride in an automobile, or to dinner now and then, and showed a real interest in his work or his school. There was no preaching or lecturing at the little brother, but he was expected to behave well, and he usually did. No money was to be given, if it could possibly be helped, but a chance to earn extra money out of school or work hours could be often had through the big brother's aid. One boy who had been in the reformatory, and could get no job on account of his record, was given work by his big brother, manager in a large business establishment. Within ten days one of the other employees objected to this boy's employment because of his past record. But the big brother stood by him, and now the lad is earning twelve dollars a week, and is recognized as honest and faithful. Without his big brother, he would probably have been a full-fledged criminal by this time. The big brothers now have an executive council and a secretary, because the example has been followed by twenty-one other groups of men in Greater New York, who have adopted small and erring brothers. The movement is spreading, and men in other cities are talking it over. There are now four hundred big brothers, and there is one woman who is an honorary member. So far the boys benefited have all been those whose cases have come before the children's court. But there is no particular reason why this should remain so, and if the spirit of brotherhood goes on developing, every neglected lad who needs a big brother may have a chance to get one.

ENTRANCE TO THE TOMB OF QUEEN TII, OF EGYPT, IN WHICH HER COFFIN AND RICH TREASURES WERE RECENTLY DISCOVERED. THE AUTOMOBILE BOAT TRAVELING ON LAND. THE AUTOMOBILE BOAT NAVIGATING THE SEINE. DIAGRAM SHOWING MECHANISM OF THE AUTOMOBILE BOAT. A NEW AUTOMOBILE BOAT. BT JACQUES BOYER - A French inventor, J. Ravallier, has devised a self-propelling vehicle which can navigate the water like an ordinary motor boat and also travel overland like an automobile. The official tests of the boat, recently made in the presence of M. Barthou, the Minister of Public Works, and other distinguished persons, were crowned with complete success. To tourists who make use of this amphibious vehicle canals, rivers and lakes will present no serious difficulties, as they can be crossed with case and comfort wherever moderately gentle and smooth slopes, natural or THE AUTOMOBILE BOAT artificial, can be found for entering and leaving the water. The hull of the boat, which is made of steel plates riveted to steel ribs of T-shaped section, is mounted by means of springs on axles and wheels of pressed steel. The axles pass through water-tight tubes which traverse the hull. This part of the construction, which is very cleverly designed, is the invention of M. Gustave Pitre, the naval architect of the Maisons Lamite. The motor (constructed by Gontallier, of Vincennes) is placed near the bow. It drives, by means of a clutch of the disk type, two distinct systems of mechanism: 1. A variable speed shaft transmits the power to the rear or driving wheels by THE AUTOMOBILE BOAT means of chains and pinions, the arbors of which pass through stuffing boxes. Three forward speeds and one backward speed are provided. Coupling, retarding and speed-changing levers, a differential brake worked by a pedal, and a brake lever acting on the rear wheels complete the mechanism of propulsion on land. Steering is effected, as in an ordinary automobile, by a wheel connected with the front axle, the shaft of the wheel passing through a stuffing box. 2. The variable speed driving shaft, prolonged backward beyond the rear axle, may be connected, by means of a clutch, with a screw propeller at the stern of the boat, the connection being made by moving a lever placed at the left hand of the driver of the vehicle. The rudder and the front axle are turned by the same steering wheel. The capstan, which is seen at the bow of the boat, is turned by a tangent screw which is driven by the motor, by means of a wheel and belt and connected and disconnected by a loose wheel, or idler. The driving wheels, the propeller, and the capstan can be operated separately or simultaneously. DIAGRAM SHOWING MECHANIS The speed of the vehicle, as determined by numerous trials, is thirty-five kilometers (twenty-one and three-quarter miles) per hour on land, and nine kilometers (5.6 miles) per hour in the water. The boat enters and leaves the water without any preparation or change, except in mechanical connections. When afloat its stability is perfect, as is shown by one of the illustrations. It leaves the water and climbs the bank under the impulsion of its driving wheels if the ground is reasonably firm and the grade less than fifteen per cent. If the bank is steeper or softer, a rope is fastened to a stake driven into the ground, and the boat is hauled up by the capstan. T TRAVELING ON LAND. The equipment of the boat is completed by a pump for bailing, an anchor, a buoy and a pair of oars and movable rowlocks for use in case of accident to the motor while adloat. The Havallier automobile boat seems destined to render valuable services to tourists. The best proof of the practical value of this invention is the fact that it has been purchased, together with all its patents, by an American—Scientific American. At the Metropolitan Club, of Washington, Justice Harlan had introduced to him a well known New York business man. With the apparent NAVIGATING THE SEINE. purpose of impressing those about him, the New Yorker remarked that his income exceeded $100,000. "And I simply have to make that amount," he added. "Why, it costs me eighty thousand a year to live!" "Dear me," said Justice Harlan, blandly. "Really that's too much! I wouldn't pay it—it isn't worth it!" —Democratic Telegram. The Missing Surname.

Only those whose minds are as morbjd_as the judge’s believe that, The Scientific American, and a more rehable journal can not be found, published the fol- lowing a few weeks ago, which shows what even the heathens cpu do: ‘A German colonial official writing from German East Africa says: During a journey in Togo I noticed, particular bell like tones coming trom a distant. I asked my ‘boy’ what that meant. He said that it was the ‘ehn,’a remarkable instrument consisting of two wrought iron cow bells, one large, the other small, which are welded to'acommon handle and atruck with a stick. According as the tenes are at shorter orlonger intervals apart,; words and sentences are formed, and these are thas conveyed from ‘village to villiage. Almost every native In the patty seemed to understand the chu language. AS the sounds Were sent out far into stie distance, the boy said emilingly: ‘Sir, that is about you; theZehu has sald: “The white man comes. ‘He has no seldiers. He is go ing te Woga.’”” It!s, however, questionable whether the instrument conveys words and sen fences as such; for this weuld imply a writer language. It could, however, be used to convey ideas, Just ar does ‘onc form of the deaf and dumb sign language. ‘A Brilliant Yousg Man Passes Away. Tnomes H.

Herndon, is President, has acquired all of the Georgia Business of the Metropolitan Mutual Benefic Agzo- ciation. Mr. Herndon’s\ record in the insurancesfield, has been in di- reot line with his privite life, up- ward, onward aud unassuming. The Metropolitan Mutual Ben- efit Association has been tempora- rily yeatrained from disposing of its assets, but the Atlanta: Mutual has thrown wide her doors tor the re- ception of all her former membars, and already thoisands have found shelter beneath her protecting ban- ners. From far away towns in the extreme north eastern border of the state, to those aleng the coast, comes the welcome knocking for admittance. ‘I'he Atlanta Mutual has made an enviable record in the ingurance field, and prides herself upon the commendable expressions, ungonght and unsolicited, as may be hadfrom such high sources as the Insurance- Commissioner at the Btate Capitol, and Court House offi- cials in every city or town where her e-ntracts are operated. No where ig there a single outstanding ob ligation againat the Atlanta Mutual. She easily leads them all when it. comes to the prompt payment of all siok claims and death claims. Ask yout next door neighbor, the teacher of your children, the pastor of your church, or the editor of your weekly journal about the Atlanta Mutual.” Each and all of them will tell you that when it comes to the question of Industrial Tosar- ance, there is none better than the Atlanta Muttal Insurance Associa | tion. The Managers of the Atlanta Mutual are practical insurance men, and her past record, is an open book subject to. the public's invéatigation, Ivia a bigh plessure to the company to hare you inquire into its past doings. For the above and other equally commendable reasons, the officers of the Metropolitan Mutual Benefit Association urges their former mem- bers to transfer into the Atlanta Mutual. The Atlanta Mutual did not bay the former membership ot the Metropolitan, but acquired throngh the officera and directors, the right to go to said members for the purpose of reinguring them ac cording to the rate and terms of the AtJanta Mutual’s policy contract. ae officers of the Metropolitan did thé best thing possible-for the Met- ropolitan policy holders, when they saw the inevitable staring them in the face, by making it posable for said membership to reinsure with the Atlanta Mutual. With hie ineurance~forces Mr. A. ¥. Herndon, is capitalist, finan- cier, adviser and friend. I[t is no wonder, then to those that know him, that, like the great magaet that he is, he has gradually taken in ond insurance company after another, until six great companies haye combined, thus making the Atlanta Mutual, easily the leader of her competitors and placing her in a clasa by herself, in that she never atoops to the taking of a single ad- vantage of any competitors. She always tréat directly with the offic- ers and directora in matters of trang fer instead of “swiping” them through irresponsible local agents, or euperiutendents. Any blow “dealt beneath the belt’ is dishon- orabla in the business methoda of the Atlanta Mutual, hence such 1s never resorted to by her. “The taste of the pudding is the test of the pie,’: then take out a lit tle insurence .with the Atlanta Mutnal, and thus protecc Yourselves against’ a rainy day, Call on or write, R.

Escorced to Her Wedding With Much Music and Merrymaking. The sound of low music is heard along the valley. Here comes the bridal procession itself, a crowd on foot bearing it company. In front walks a merryman holding out a long wooden skewer in either hand. On one skewer are slabs of bread transfixed; on the other, fragments of cooked meat, cooling in the autumn air. At his side trots a friend with dripping wines in under his arm—a kaspel full of mirth. One foot of the skin is untied, and only hold together by finger and thumb. For every passerby upon the road must drink and each must take his bit of bread and meat from the skewers, that, having enjoyed the kindly fruits of the earth, he may wish the bride fertility and go upon his way in pleasant mood. Behind the hospitable food and drink comes music, most lavish of the arts, pouring itself out, as the birds sing, to all who are near enough to hear. Usually the musicians go on foot before the bride's carriage, but if they can borrow an extra cart, it is certainly easier to keep time altogether when one has not to watch the rocks upon the road, or wade knee deep across the river beds. Last comes the bride in bullock cart or two horsed phaeton, shaken but glorified. Her head is dressed in Georgian fashion. Round the top of her head is a shining black ring, much the same in effect as the ring that Zulu chiefs enweave in their hair. On each side of the face long curls hang down, usually false, for they are frankly attached to the ring, and form a large article of commerce in all Georgian towns. Over rings and curls and all floats the characteristic white gauze veil, trimmed with lace along the edge of the happy, but shorn of all beauty for windows or for the mother whose baby is dead. So the bride comes, and at her side sits the next prettiest girl of the village, to keep her in countenance and divide the gaze of the inconsiderate or too admiring males. While the ancient ceremony is celebrated inside the church the music continues and boys keep up a dancing at the door. Then the procession is reformed, the bridegroom mounts the cart himself beside the bride, the simple house of wood and stone is reached and he carries her over the threshold into the scene of her new life. There she will winnow, and dry the maize, hang the tobacco leaves in the loft, help with the vintage and the beasts, work the wooden loom, give her husband food, and rear children to repeat the way of life with little change.—Henry Nevinson, in Harper's Magazine. Prevents Railroad Wrecks. A new electric signalling apparatus, specially designed to prevent collisions in foggy weather, has been on trial in England. The apparatus is laid down between Beckenham and Norwood, and consists of a short double third rail run between the metals near both the distance and home signals. The third rail is connected by electric wires run along by means of the telegraph poles to levers in the signal cabin. Attached to the engine are electric metal "hangers," or "shoes," which come into contact with the third rail and establish communication with the signal box. The instrument contains two small semaphore arms similar to the home and distance signals at the side of the line. There are also two small glass bull's-eyes of red and green to correspond with the miniature semaphore. At the back of the case of the instrument is fitted a bell, and there is a telephone at each side. As the train reaches the distance signal the "shoes" hung under the body of the engine glide on to the third line and complete the connection with the instrument on the cab of the engine. Immediately the bell rings in the engine cab, and the miniature semaphore in the cab repeats the signals from the signal cabin. -Baltimore American. What You Can Do. The American Magazine contains a wonderful defense of our National Forests, and of the work of the Government Forest Service, by Stewart Edward White, author of "The Blazed Trail." "The Forest," etc. "What can you do?" says Mr. White. "Why, you can sit down now and write to both your representative and your senator. Tell them plainly and briefly that you approve of the National Forests, and wish them to stand for them. It is very easy to say: 'Oh, I'm only John Jones.' The senator doesn't know me from Adam. What attention would he pay to me? I'd sign a petition where my name would have some weight by adding to numbers; but it would look foolish to write an individual letter." That is where you are wrong. One individual letter counts more than columns of newspaper advice, than pages of formal petition. At least it can do no harm. It will cost a piece of paper, an envelope, a two-cent stamp and two minutes of time. And it will help in a fight which is every American's fight, and his children's and their children's, throughout the generations." Patience "Do you know anything about this Esperanto we see so much about in the papers?" Patrice "No, I really do not. There are so many of these new breakfast foods being advertised that it is hard for one to keep up with them." Yonkers Statesman, TREASURE QUESTION. "What in the world are you doing under there so long, dear?" shouted the wife to her husband, who had crawled under the machine, in the mud, to try to ascertain why the blooming motor would not "note." "Oh, darling!" came back the almost smothered reply. "I'm just picking a few daffodils and dalsies for you, loved one."—Yonkers Statesman. TROUBLED WITH SERVANTS, PERHAPS. "Well, how do you and your wife like housekeeping?" asked Elder. "Well," replied Youngman, "we—er—don't think we like it as a whole." "Not as a whole, eh?"

Every analysis undertaken shows this food to be made strictly of Wheat and Barley, treated by our processes to partially transform the starch parts into a form of Sugar, and therefore much easier to digest. Our claim that it is a "Food for Brain and Nerve Centres" is based upon the fact that certain parts of Wheat and Barley (which we use) contain Naturo's brain- and nerve-building ingredients, viz., Phosphate of Potash, and the way we prepare the food makes it easy to digest and assimilate. Dr. Geo. W. Carey in his book on "The Biochemic System of Medicine" says: "When the medical profession fully understands the nature and range of the phosphate of potassium, insane asylums will no longer be needed. "The gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely by the inorganic cell-salt, potassium phosphate. "This salt unites with albumen, and by the addition of oxygen creates nerve-fluid, or the gray matter of the brain. "Of course, there is a trace of other salts and other organic matter in nerve-fluid, but potassium phosphate is the chief factor, and has the power within itself to attract, by its own law of affinity, all things needed to manufacture the elixir of life. Therefore, when nervous symptoms arise, due to the fact that the nerve-fluid has been exhausted from any cause, the phosphate of potassium is the only true remedy, because nothing else can possibly supply the deficiency. "The lilis arising from too rapidly consuming the gray matter of the brain cannot be overestimated. "Phosphate of Potash, is to my mind, the most wonderful curative agent ever discovered by man, and the blessings it has already conferred on the race are many. But 'what shall the harvest be' when physicians everywhere fully understand the part 'this wonderful' salt plays in the processes of life? It will do as much as can be done through physiology to make a heaven on earth. "Let the overworked business man take it and go home good-tempered. Let the weary wife, nerves unstring from attending to slek children or entertaining company, take it and note how quickly the equilibrium will be restored and calm and reason assert her throne. No 'provings' are required here. We find this potassium salt largely predominates in nerve-fluid, and that a deficiency produces well-defined symptoms. The beginning and end of the matter is to supply the lacking principle, and in molecular form, exactly as nature furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To supply deficiencies—this is the only law of cure." Please observe that Phosphate of Potash is not properly of the drug-shop variety but is best prepared by "Old Mother Nature" and stored in the grains ready for use by mankind.

A lady writer who not only has done good literary work, but reared a family, found in Grape-Nuts the ideal food for brain work and to develop healthy children. She writes: "I am an enthusiastic proclaimer of Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. I formerly had no appetite in the morning and for 8 years while nursing my four children, had insufficient nourishment for them. "Unable to eat breakfast I felt faint later, and would go to the pantry and eat cold chops, sausage, cookies, doughnuts or anything I happened to find. Being a writer, at times my head felt heavy and my brain asleep. "When I read of Grape-Nuts I began eating it every morning, also gave it to the children, including my 10 months old baby, who soon grew as fat as a little pig, good natured and contented. "I wrote evenings and feeling the need of sustained brain power, began eating a small saucer of Grape-Nuts with milk, instead of my usual-indigestible hot pudding, ple, or cake for dessert at night. "I grew plump, nerves strong, and when I wrote my brain was active and clear, indeed, the dull head pain never returned." POSTUM GREAL CO., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich. FOR THE FARMER AND STOCKMAN Grit Boxes.. Every well regulated poultry-house ought to have a grit box. This is easily made out of a cracker box, and the self feeding kind is the best. Make three apartments and fill them with grit, charcoal and oyster shells. Hang this box on the wall just within reach of the fowls and you will be surprised to note the amount of grit the fowls will consume. Anyone with a hammer and saw and a little ingenuity, can make a box that will last for years. By hanging it on the wall it is out of the way and the grit and oyster shell keep clean and are not wasted. If you have a large flock of fowls you will need several of these boxes. If you have several pens, one must be supplied to each pen. This plan is much better than to supply the grit in an open box which soon becomes mixed with the dirt and scratching material of the floor.—Wisconsin Agriculturist. How to Drive a Hen. When a woman has a hen to drive into the coop, she takes hold of her skirts with both hands, shakes them quietly at the delinquent and says, "Shoo, there!" The hen takes one look at the object to convince her that it is a woman, and then stalks majestically into the coop. A man doesn't do that way. He goes outdoors and says, "It is singular nobody can drive a hen but me," and picks up a stick of wood, hurls it at the offending biped. "Get in there, you thief." The hen then loses her reason and dashes to the other end of the yard. The man straightway dashes after her. She comes back with her head down, her wings out, and followed by an assortment of stove-fruit, fruit cans and clinkers, and a very mad man in the rear. Then she skims under the barn and over a fence or two, and around the house and back again to the coop, and all the time talking as only an excited hen can talk, and all the while followed by things convenient for handling and a man whose coat is on the saw buck and whose hat is on the ground, and whose perspiration knows no limit. By this time the other hens have come out to take a hand in the debate and help dodge missiles, and the man says every hen on the place shall be sold in the morning, and puts on his things and goes down the street, and the woman has every one of those hens housed and counted in two minutes.—Northwestern Agriculturist. Fruit Trees Exhaust Soil. In considering the reasons why apple and other fruit trees do not bear as many or as fine apples as they did in the early days, writes Professor Garman, of Kentucky station, I have been impressed with the importance of supplying the trees with fertilizers as the soil becomes exhausted, and am satisfied that the greatest relative difficulty experienced nowadays in keeping fruit trees in good condition is in part due to an exhaustion of the soil. Trees forage more widely than smaller plants, and may not show the effects of starvation as suddenly or as soon, but they must show it in time if grown long on the same land without anything being returned to the soil to replace materials removed by the trees. In this relation I was struck recently by a statement which I encountered in Professor Voorhees' interesting little book on fertilizers. He says that twenty crops of apples of fifteen bushels per tree, and thirty-five trees to the acre, equal 1337 pounds of nitrogen, 310 pounds of phosphoric acid and 1805 pounds of potash. Twenty crops of wheat, of fifteen bushels per acre, equal 660 pounds of nitrogen, 211 pounds of phosphoric acid and 324 pounds of potash. Therefore, according to Professor Voorhees, twenty crops of apples remove more than twice as much nitrogen, half as much again phosphoric acid, and nearly three times as much potash, as twenty crops of wheat. A good farmer would hardly think of growing twenty successive crops of wheat on the same land, no matter how good it might be, and it would seem to be still greater folly, according to the figures given, to attempt to grow twenty crops of apples without returning anything to the soil. A Farmer's Creed. The following farmer's creed, formulated nearly three-quarters of a century ago by Henry Ward Beecher, the famous patriotic and pulpit orator, and one of the first editors of the Indiana Farmer, holds good today as well as then: "We believe in small farms and thorough cultivation. "We believe that soil loves to eat, as well as its owner, and ought, therefore, to be liberally fed. "We believe in large crops which leave the land better than they found it—making the farmer and the farm both glad at once. "We believe in going to the bottom of things, and, therefore, in deep plowing and enough of it. All the better-with a subsoll plow. "We believe that every-farm should own a good farmer. "We believe that the best ferti- lizer for any soil is a spirit of industry, enterprise and intelligence. Without this lime and gypsum, bones and green manure, marl and guano, will bo of little use. "We believe in good fences, good barns, good farm houses, good stock, good orchards and children enough to gather the fruit. "We believe in a clean kitchen, a neat wife in it, a clean cupboard, a clean dairy and a clean conscience. "We firmly disbelieve in farmers that will not improve; in farms that grow poorer every year; in starving cattle; in farmers' boys turning into clerks and merchants; in farmers' daughters unwilling to work, and in all farmers ashamed of their vacation, or who drink whisky until honest people are ashamed of them." Indiana Farmer. A White Leghorn Egg Farm. In New York State, on one of those breezy hills which are to be found in almost every county, Mr. Wyckoff many years ago, started out to make a living for himself and his family, from the soil. His only capital was his ambition, good health and a wife full of cheer and encouragement. In looking about for a farm, he found an old man who was so anxious to sell that a man without money was able to buy. Mr. Wyckoff's father went security for the first payment and loaned his son cash enough to purchase a team, a few cows, some tools, seed and twenty-five scrub hens. The buildings were for the most part in a tumble-down condition, and as the new farmer hadn't a cent to make any improvements with, he determined to develop the poultry end of the business, as it required no expenditure of capital. He housed his flock in one of the old buildings; they laid fairly well, but recognizing the advantage of having thourough-bred stock, he soon replaced them with Brown Leghorns. From the eggs laid by these he saved in one winter and spring $75, and with it bought White Leghorn eggs. The next year, the third on the place, he had a flock of 180 White Leghorn hens. That winter—eggs were unusually high, and his flock returned him $90 in eggs laid. This money was invested in buildings, the hens paying for all the improvements made. Mr. Wryckoff never invested an outside dollar in his poultry since the day he bought his first twenty-five scrub hens. Every cent his hens made was put back into new buildings and yards. It took five or six years to get the business well started owing to lack of capital, but since then he has sold about $4000 worth of produce from his farm annually, of which about $3500 is from eggs and poultry. He always kept a few cows, and for many years depended on the dairy to pay the interest on the purchase price of his place. It may interest some to know what sort of a ration was fed on this farm. In the morning a mash was compounded as follows. One bu. corn, two bu. oats, ground fine; to each 200 pounds of this mixture add 100 pounds bran and five or six pounds beef scraps; molten with milk. This is fed in troughs, the feeder returning in ten minutes to take up any more where needed. At noon, green food was given, either mangels or cabbage in winter, cloven or kale in summer; sometimes a light feed of mixed grain in the litter. Night feed was usually mixed grain; in winter two bushels each wheat; oats, buckwheat and corn; in summer the corn in the mixture is reduced one-half.—E. K. Parkinson, in the Country 'Gentleman. Shake the hay well out before feeding. Do not compel horses to drink warm water. No farmer makes money raising inferior horses. Take the dirt off the legs with a rag or soft brush, rather than with the currycomb. The farmer who has his surplus capital invested in good horses has a draft which he can draw at any time. Keeping the skin of the work horses clean enables them to sweat freely and, thus is essential to their health. Get rid of the surplus horses that are not growing into money. There is no advantage in keeping enough extra horses to eat all that useful ones earn. It is not good policy to force the growth of colts by giving them stimulating foods and overfeeding them. The overgrown horse is sold dom a durable one. A horse, especially if he is nervous, is much more likely to be alarmed by the sound of a noise he cannot see than by the sight of things he does not understand. The origin of many diseases among horses can be traced directly to filthy stables. It is, therefore, good economy to keep the stables scrupulously clean.—Boston Cultivator. The Pulpit A SERMON BY THE REV RAW HENDERSON Theme: The Call of God to the Church of Christ. Brooklyn, New York.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, Hamburg avenue and Wetfield street, the Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, pastor, took as his theme "The Call of God to the Church of Christ. The text was Phil. 1:27: Stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the Gospel; and in nothing scared by your adversaries." He said: "Let us unfold the text and translate it with care for the richness and exactness of meaning that it encloses, that the authorized version which we have read hardly sets forth. 'Stand fast persistently in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the Gospel; and in nothing scared by your adversaries.' The apostle admonishes the people of God to stand fast steadily not sporadically, to be of singleness of mind and heart and soul in their devotion to the Lord, and to strive together with the best of man for the truth, to be unafraid of their opponents. The figure is that of a frightened horse. Be not scared like a runaway. This is the word of Paul to the saints in Christ Jesus which were at Philippi. It is the call of Him who sitteth between the cherubim to His church to-day. This is the summons of God to those who are His people in the bonds of Christ. He proxigulates the plan for Christian action. He elevates an ideal for service. He asserts the positive and negative duties that relate themselves to Christianity. He stipulates what is to be the aim and what is the measure of the efficiency of the church of the living Lord. The text affords as good a program for the guidance of those who are banded in the interests of the proclamation and advancement of the Kingdom of God as could well be devised. And we may safely assert that it is because the church has too largely relinquished her grasp upon this program; lost, too largely, her consciousness of the mandatory responsibilities that God has laid upon her, of her divinely chosen ideals, her unanimous identity to the plans and the purposes and inspired activities of Emanuel, that she has to a lamentable degree ceased to command either the influence, the respect or the love that within the memory of many a man alive was hers. And I believe that the moral and spiritual unhealthiness that is present in the suit of the desultory and flaccid allegiance that the church has granted to her God. We have been too much afraid of our enemies and too uncertain of ourselves. We have over-emphasized the power of the forces of entrenched evil, and by implication discounted the capacity of the Deity successfully to energize His people and to realize His will in them. We have been silent when we should have spoken fearlessly, and voluble when we would have better known what we served the time and the King's usefulness. We have, especially in the Protestant Church, let Christian liberty degenerate till in many quarters it has become synonymous with irreligious license. We have exchanged prophecy for time-serving and truthfulness for popularity, to an extent that is as disastrous as it is disreputable. We have lost the note of authority. And in our scramble to find the bait that will lure the world toward God and that will draw men so far under the influence of the church that we shall heartedness of the Gospel and of the Christian life we have become such good fellows that we have lost our aim, missed the heart of Christian service and of Christian faith. The call of God to His church means little to multitudes of people who are on the roils of the church visible because they haven't listened long or intently enough to Him to know what He thinks or says or wants. It is not strange that they do not "stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the Gospel." How could it be otherwise? Faith is simply a catchword with them; the meat of the Gospel is a mystery that they have taken little effort to master; a hard fight is the last thing that they want; salvation means about as much to them as changing their clothes. Dr. Newman Smyth is not far wrong when he asserts that a new order will be in God's providence, supersedes our present Christian religious systems. If we are to judge them by the identity of the majority of their members to the exact Gospel of God in Christ, the sooner the churches of Christ, as at present constituted, are superseded by a nobler order the better for the world. Primarily the church must declare and elucidate the deepest spiritual truths of the Kingdom of God without which there can be no founded or balanced ethics. She must stand as the evangel of God speaking with authority that truth in Christ, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, which is supremely sufficient for the salvation of the souls of men. She must deal first with the souls of men in their relationship with the Father. Spirituality is her keynote. The revelation and explication of eternal spiritual mysteries is her chief business. The call of God to the Church of Christ to-day is no different in essence than it was to the men and women of the church at Philippi to whom Paul wrote. If it was essential for them to cut close to the pattern supplied to them of God it is no less necessary that we do the same. If they were called upon to stand fast persistently and to a conclusion so are we. If they had to use team play to accomplish the work of the kingdom how can we win success by lesser methods and poorer fidelity? But we have stood so fast, liter- ally, that we have almost-stood still. We have striven together. But the striving has been of the wrong sort. We have stood fast in one spirit. But very largely that spirit has been that we have refused to inconvenience ourselves in the interests of the kingdom of God, for the good of His children and for the glory of the King. But God commands something different. He summons us to another variety of living. His call is that we shall be steadfast in our adherence to and advocacy of those spiritual truths that constitute the reason for and the richness of His church. Primarily the church is not an institution that exists to regulate morals, to supply a means for social intercourse, to gather a crowd. That is in no sense to minimize the importance, the place and the work of the church as a mentor and purifier of morals, a minister to the social necessities of men, a gatherer of men for the purpose of supplying that verve that comes simply and solely because we are a crowd filled with the same desires and adoring the same Lord. For we must direct conduct and meet the needs of man as a social animal and recognize the value and the influence of the crowd. But the call of God first to His church is that she shall be experienced in the knowledge of those ineffable and spiritual truths out of which spring the impulses that make for a godly ethics, a consecrated society, a spirit-moved crowd, in such measure and manner that she shall be able to declare, delineate and reveal to men with compelling power that wisdom of the saving Father to know which and whom is life eternal. That is to say that the call of the chai time—is to be a spiritual angel. Our duty is to be true to this call. To live to this work. To cleave to this program. To plan after this pattern. To exalt this as our ideal. Let us stand fast persistently in and for this, rather than pat upon our past. Let us strive together for this rather than among ourselves. Let us have the spirit of helpfulness rather than of laziness, and faith in God and in the power of His truth. Let us be in nothing scared by our adversaries. We have been. Sin makes a brave show. We have taken to our heels, as it were, often at its approach. We have had an unreasoning terror of its power. And we have chronically overrated its ability to beat us. But we have no more reason to be scared by sin than a child has to be frightened by Jack-in-the-box. The church can put sin to rout when it gets into right relationships with doity and into the proper sort of fighting clothes, or else God, who cannot lie, prevaricates. He says we can do it. He promises to enable us. He demonstrates the method. He provides the stone and the sling, the chest that will be used in the two-edged flaming sword of His own consuming truth. Either we can or we cannot. If we can we ought. And we can if we will. For one, I believe that sin, unlike Achilles, is vulnerable at every point. We have but to hit with the right weapons and hard to subdue it. For sin is a hulking, rotten monster to whom we need be in bondage no longer than we desire—thanks to the grace and the potency of God that we shall be true to the spiritual mission for which we are endowed and that we shall fight sin fearlessly to a finish. May we be true thereto. The Stones Bear Witness. It is truly marvelous how the truth of the Word of God is being vindicated by modern discovery against the attacks made upon it by interested critics. Few more exciting stories have ever been told than that which was narrated last week at the annual meeting of the Palestine Exploration Fund. At the very time when the earlier parts of the Old Testament were being dismissed with contempt as "unhistoric," the spades of excavators were busy disinterring long buried Cananitlisi cities, with the result "the faces" of idolatry have been brought to light containing remains of human sacrifices offered to heathen deities. Thus the abominations of the Ammonites are actually exposed to our gaze. Even more interesting is the discovery of the form of the ancient Philistine temples. Men who have made sport of the story of Samson pulling down the pillars of the temple upon the heads of his enemies, become, in turn, the objects of derision, as it is now clearly shown what the "pillars" were, and how easily a strong man could have displaced them to the undoing both of himself and of his foes. In the light of these expert discoveries, believers have no need to apologize for their Bible; rather, they ought to expect an apology from those who have relied upon imagination rather than sound fact.—London Christian. Gospel Truth the Instrument of Revival. The great historian Lecky has, in a noteworthy passage in his famous "History of England in the Eighteenth Century," declared that the secret of success of Methodism was merely that it satisfied some of the strongest and most enduring wants of our nature, which found no gratification in the popular theology; that it revived a large class of religious doctrines which had long been almost wholly neglected. The utter deprivacy of human nature, the lost condition of every man who is born into the world, the vicarious atonement of Christ, the necessity to salvation of a new birth, of faith, of the constant usurping action of the priest, of the baptist, of the soul, are doctrines which in the eyes of the modern evangelist constitute the most vital and the most influential portions of Christianity, but they are doctrines which during the greater part of the eighteenth century were seldom heard from a Church of England pulpit. Every student of the period knows that the wide and simple preaching of these doctrines of vital personal religion developed that nobler life which saved England from decay. London Christian.

(Liquor) A Square-Deal Answer to Collier's Patent Medicine Attack. We have no quarrel with Mr. Collier or Norman Hangood, in so far as they propose to warn the public against the danger to men, women and children in indiscriminate use of vicious concoctions of dangerous drugs and cheap whiskey, disguised as medicines, and in appalling quantities poured down the throats of the American people by unscrupulous charlatans. But we do not propose to silently submit while a greater wrong is being perpetrated, which would be the case if indiscriminate criticism should so destroy confidence as to lead thousands with slender means to deprive themselves of that which has given other thousands upon thousands relief from pain and sorrow, and enabled them to continue in the struggle for daily bread. We propose to carry our case direct to the people, down the Great White Way of Publicity, confident that we shall be sustained by that vast throng who, knowing by personal experience that an outward application of Minard's Liniment relieves pain and brings peace of mind and body, also know that its use involves no dangers such as are charged against medicines to be taken internally. And we propose, further, to carry the case direct to those who have never used Minard's Liniment, by inviting them to send us a postal today and receive by return mall, free, a special bottle, ample to prove that it will do all that is claimed for it. When you realize that Minard's Liniment had its birth in the prescription of the late Doctor Levi Minard, who used it and recommended it in his private practice, 55 years ago, and that by personal recommendation it has since come into universal use, and that each year an increasing number of people use it, you begin to appreciate the importance in its merit is but reflecting the faith expressed by those who believe it. It is not only that it is best for them, that it stands alone as the most effective, economical and clean-to-use external application for rheumatism, neuralgia, pleurisy, stiff, twisted joints, sore, strained, or lame muscles, tired, aching feet or any pain or ache. Why This Statement? Why This Statement? Because we propose from time to time to tell you of the merits and to let others testify to the personal benefit derived from Minard's Liniment, so pure and antiseptic, so powerful, penetrating and soothing as to have justly earned its title, King of Pain. We know you believe in the doctrine of the Square Deal. We ask you to tell others of the good Minard's Liniment has done you. Yours respectfully, Minard's Liniment Mfg. Co., So. Framingham, Mass.

DON'T BE A CARBAGE HEAD ```markdown ``` THE BOSTON EDITOR PRESIDENT R. R. WRIGHT. PRESIDENT WRIGHT MAKES FINE SHOWING—PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL REPORT. Georgia State Colored Agricultural and Industrial Association. Permit me to extend to you hearty congratulations of the fact that our Association has succeeded in operating two colored State Fairs. In congratulating ourselves, it is well, however, that we should also bear in mind that we owe much of our success to the helpful co-operation and aid of sympathetic white people. Also the Commission of the Georgia State Industrial College where we are now assembled took a lively interest in the organization of this Association and its operations of its fairs. Gen. P. W. Meldrim, the chairman of the Commission and other members were and are most deeply concerned and have followed the movement with much interest. The Mayor and Council of Macon and the white papers of that city and of the State have stood by and encouraged us. Our movement meets the hearty co-operation of the best white and colored people of the State. The Association, I think, is admirably carrying out the object for which it was organized, namely, "to encourage the colored worker along agricultural and industrial lines." A brief comparison of the two fairs will perhaps prove interesting at this time. First as to exhibits: Those of you who visited the two fairs must acknowledge that the exhibits both in the industrial and agricultural lines at the first fair were far beyond our expectations and were regarded as most creditable. The industrial exhibits of our second fair were in variety, excellence and actual number superior to the first; the agricultural exhibits were not superior in number but, were superior in variety and excellence. Last year we paid out about one hundred premiums; this year over two hundred and fifty. Last year we had exhibits from about fifteen counties, this year we had exhibits from over forty counties, and over sixty different places, towns and cities were represented. Last year less than twenty-five hundred people outside of Macon paid admission fees to our fair. This year nearly five thousand people paid admission fees and nearly one thousand were given complimentary tickets. Our midway attractions were far superior to last year's. Mr. George W. Rollins, an old showman, declared that a very few midways at the Georgia Fairs were superior to ours. The order at each fair was excellent. At the first we had not a single arrest. At our second fair we employed colored policemen, the first thing of the kind done in Georgia. The city authorities were perfectly satisfied with our success in keeping order. Everybody seems to recognize the fact that we are showing the people of our State the difference between the lazy idle and shiftless members of our race and the industrious, thrifty and progressive, and at the same time we are disclosing to the rest of the country that the best white people of the State hold in high esteem the law-abiding and thrifty colored people. It seems to me that if our Association does no more than this it has demonstrated its reason for its existence. And, too, I think its stockholders ought to feel that they are well repaid for the small amounts which they have placed in the enterprise; the good which the Association has done is a splendid dividend on this investment. But I am pleased to announce to you that our financial statement will show that we have done even more than this. In my judgment we have avoided the chief thing which has killed most fairs; a large salary list. Your President has been compelled, in order to keep down expense, to do most of the work himself. For this purpose he has spent nearly his entire summer vacation, sometimes night and day, "to work up the movement." For this work he has neither asked nor received a single penny of salary. He has even walked five or six miles to see people in the interest of the fair, because to ride would cost a larger hack fare than was in the ability of our small means to pay. One of the purposes of the Association is to teach economy; the spirit of saving; of living within one's income. If all the members of our Association would bear this in mind our Association would never be in debt. Our Association employed during our last fair fifteen ladies and seventy-two men. We paid them between twelve and fifteen hundred dollars. We have practically paid every debt we owe, and have replaced every dollar of our stock money. Our stock is now 5,000 shares. On this we shall be abe to pay 6 per cent. Last year we paid 5 per cent. This makes 11 per cent since we began. Without fear of being charged with bragging, I think it is safe to say that this is better than has been done by any other colored organization in the State which has been in existence for the same length of time. We have assets for every dollar of our stock and sufficient to pay 6 per cent dividend. If this is not first-class management, what is? Net gain for year . . . $ 535.54 In view of this financial statement, I recommend that the Association employ for the year a General Field Agent, a first-class man who is a practical farmer and who can devote his entire time to the work of building up the Association. The purpose of the Association is to stimulate a lively interest in agricultural, industrial and business undertakings among our people. We need a man as a General Field Agent who can go among the farmers and hold institutes, distribute farm literature, and seed, lecture to the people, and encourage them along the lines of self-help. Our people must be taught to labor and to save, not to grumble and to faint by the wayside. And, too, they must be taught the meaning of a joint stock company, that when they purchase shares in a chartered or incorporated company they can not take their money out at will; that the only way to get their money out is to sell their stock for what it will bring in the market; teach them that all they can get is their dividend. Teach them also to have patience and let the Association grow. Teach them, too, that the Association is not a lottery, that they cannot put in a dollar and expect to get out ten dollars at the close of each fair. Teach them that the purpose of our Association is not to make fortunes but to teach co-operation; to show that colored men can get together; inaugurate and conduct successfully large business corporations. Our financial statement shows, however, that our Association has succeeded from the start; we have sold $5,000 worth of stock and have not lost a dollar. We have paid or are ready to pay 6 per cent dividend on the stock and I think we are the only Fair Association in Georgia that has paid an annual dividend upon all its paid up stock. All we ask from the public is fair and honest treatment and a few years trial and we pledge them that we shall give a good account of our Association. Very respectfully. Ga.

He thinks it would be quite a hardship upon the brethren to have them paying his expenses to travel over the state during this financial crisis to give advice that can be given in this manner. However, whenever any lodge has any matter on its trustle board that cannot be settled by it and its members and officers he will come and endeavor to adjust the same. Again he takes pleasure in visiting such lodges as feel that they would be able and glad to have a visit from the Grand Master. Such a visit was made in December to Butler lodge at Butler, Ga. Brother George, Williams and his craft are doing a most excellent work at that place. The Grand Master wishes to both thank and congratulate the Grand Lodge Officers and Committeemen and the worshipful Masters and brothers of all the lodges that have reported in time on the matter of the matter of the officers for the coming Masonic year, the Masonic Relief Association, the Orphans' Home and School assessment and the two dollars for the repair of our property at Amerieus, Ga. All lodges that have not reported and do not file a report in this and other offices, as per law, in thirty days must show a cause why their warrants shall not be surrendered. Dear Brethren, I am not asking you to do more than I am compelled to do, namely to obey the laws and edicts of your Grand Lodge. It has made these laws and I must obey them and am placed in this office to see to it that every other brother obeys them; should I fall to do that then I fall to do what you elected me to do and what I obligated myself to see that every other member did. First. Pay up your assignments to the Orphans' Home, the last quarter of which is due and payable to Brother W. H. Spencer, Columbus, Ga., March 1st. This is due only by warranted lodges not U. D. Lodges. U. D. Lodges must only keep up their dues in the Masonic Relief Association and prepare to get their warrant In June at the Grand Lodge session. For cost of warrants see Grand Lodge law. Second. The Grand Master wlshes to call the attention of the brothers to section twenty-five of the laws governing our Masonic Relief Association. He cannot approve said section and will ask the Grand Lodge to amend it so as to read that every certificate of membership shall be in force from the very moment it is received by the brother. That is, in case of the death of a brother who holds a certificate of membership if in his hands only one minute his family or relatives shall be entitled to the face value of his certificate of membership. He is now in position to say that he can recommend to the coming session of the grand lodge that the relief association pay for every brother who dies in good standing in that department and holding a certificate of membership in the same. That being true, I urge every lodge and every brother to make haste to be a part of that great department. In Mississippi they pay now $500 at the death of a Mason. They began small as we are beginning; in less than three years I feel that we will be able to pay $500 or $600 at the death of a Mason. Brother, will you obey the law and come in now and help to make this one of the greatest things of its kind or will you suffer yourselves to fall out or be suspended? No, I know you feel proud of every thing Masons have and will strive to add your part to make it what it should be. Let every Master Mason put his shoulder to the wheel and strive to make the Masonic Relief Association of the jurisdiction second to no other in the world. Third. It has been argued by some that such an organization was unmasonic and that the Grand Lodge could not make a compulsory law. This is all a mistake. Every law in our Grand Lodge constitution and general law was made by the Grand Lodge and who will say said laws are not compulsory? Every statute under its cover is compulsory from the section regulating-grand lodge dues to those regulating the actions of subordinate lodges. The Grand Lodge is a sovereign body and has the power to make such laws and regulations as best suits its jurisdiction. Nearly all the lodges have applied to the association for membership certificates for the members. Let not one lodge be left off the list. The report of the coming grand session from the secretary-treasurer of that department will be an agreeable surprise to every brother present. I must confess. I am suprised. It only goes to show what the brothers can do when they once make up their minds to do. We are now making history and in a few years every brother who helps to start this department will be gla dto have his name called when talking about the Masonic Relief Association. Fifth. It is very cheap protection. When a brother has paid $1.00 to join and 25 cents a month for twelve months it is $4.00; at that time his certificate of membership is worth $50. When it is worth $100 he has paid in only $7; when it worth $300 he has paid in only $19.50. In other words, a brother would have to be a member one hundred years to pay in $300. Hence you will see that this is cheap protection as well as good protection. Take it now. Please bear in mind that certificate swill be dated the day the money is received by the secretary-treasurer and that money sent to that department for certificates or monthly dues must be sent as prescribed in section 10 of the by-laws. The worshipful master or the secretary of some lodges have sent him their individual checks, of course he had to return them and ask that section 10 be complied with. If you will read the by-laws carefully and follow them you will have no trouble in getting prompt returns from that office. Some lodges send in applications without the money. The certificates of membership cannot be issued until the money is received. The secretaries of lodges should keep a record of the names they send to the secretary-treasurer for certificates in order that monthly dues are sent in no dues will be sent for members who have not received certificates. This has been done and causes a great deal of useless correspondence. Worshipful masters and secretaries should be careful to send enough money to cover the applications. Do not send fourteen applications and thirteen dollars and then complain because you receive only thirteen certificates. If the worshipful master sends money for any purpose to the secretary-treasurer, he should write his name, postoffice and R. F. D. and box number, at the upper left hand corner of the envelope; if the secretary sends money he should do the same, then the secretary-treasurer will know exactly to whom and where to send the receipt etc. Sixth. When one brother is commissioned to organize a Masonic convention he must not be interfered with by any other brother. Any brother so interfering with another must show cause why he should not be suspended for the same. Seventh. Canvassing for votes for office in Masonic lodges is unmasonic and must not be indulged in within the limits of the jurisdiction of the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge for the state and jurisdiction of Georgia. All brothers will take due notice and so be governed. Eighth. Lodges that has not sent in the dollar for each member for certificates of membership in the Masonic Relief Association must do so at once. Those that attended to that matter must get the monthly dues in on time. Let us get down to business like men and as Masons. Remember, it is our intention to pay for every brother that dies from the time he gets his certificate this can be done by every master becoming a member and doing his duty towards being ready to meet said payments. Praying the blessings of the Heavenly Father upon each and every member of the jurisdiction; and also bringing to you the greetings of eighteen new lodges since our last grand communication. I am fraternally yours, HENRY RUTHERFORD BUTLER. A. M. M. D. Grand Master. Given unde rmy hand and seal this 4th day of February. Among the Masons. Below will be found the second proclamation from the grand master. It should be read by every brother in the jurisdiction that have violated the regulation of the grand lodge in not forwarding the election report. This report should have been in since December; it is now the middle of February, and they have not shown up. It is hoped that the brethren of the delinquent lodges will render this report immediately. At the last session of the grand lodge each lodge was ordered to forward to the grand secretary before the first of the year two dollars for the repairing of the widows' and orphans home. At this writing only eighty-seven lodges have responded. What is the matter with the other lodges Brethren, do not fall to do your duty. Brother W. H. Murry, the faithful secretary of East Gate Lodge, wrote us concerning the memorial service recently held in honor of Brother W. A. Wilcox. Brother Murry was master of ceremonies and the main address was delivered by Rev. Peter Coley. The usual hymns and prayers were sung and made. Rev. T. T. Thomas and Chaplain Ed Henry assisted in the services. Everybody present spoke well of the exercise. A collection of $20 was raised while the Indles of the Eastern Star raised $9.55. The members of East Gate Lodge are among the loyal Masons of the state, and are willing to do their duty whenever they understand it.' Worshipful Master E. W. McKnight of Crispus Attucks Lodge at Hasty writes us that his lodge is in flourishing condition. That peace and harmony prevails among the members, and that they are loyal to the relief association. Brother McKnight says that his lodge will make the best report in June in the history of the lodge. Yet the other lodges say and do as much. - Called Pastor. The Mount Carmel Baptist Church, Folkston, called a pastor Sunday last. The congregation assembled at 11 o'clock a. m., and nominated Rev. J. K. Rogers of Waycross, Ga., for pastor of the ensuing years. After the nominations closed Aev. J. K. Rogers was elected unanimously. Mrs. Rosa Morgan of Folkston has a very ill father. He arrived at this place on Monday before last. He is under the treatment of Dr. J. C. Wright, physician of this town. Seiglingville, S. C., Feb. Dear Editor: Will you please allow me space in your columns to reply to a communication from A. I. Washington, "Sneaked Out by Night with Keys and Rent." With justice to myself, wife and friends, his statement is false, of the darkest hue and he should be considered a coward to have such a false statement published about a man when he is innocent and not there to protect himself. I acknowledge I owe him or the agent of the house $2.50. If he or Mrs. Washington had been home when I called to leave the key I would have paid that. I have receipts to show what I say is true. Let me call his attention to last July when he wrote me through the mail that the agent threatened to take he house away from him and he, Washington, billed me for $32 long before the rent was due and when I presented my receipt book after seeing I was due him nothing how humbly he bagged pardon and put the blame on Mrs. Washington. I occupied the house 18 months and the only money that he had been able to pay on it is what I paid him. So far as my "sneaking out," it took one freight car to bring what I brought from Savannah. I moved in the day and loaded the car in the day. I refer any one to Mr. W. Wolledge or Mr. Cleighhorn, how I paid rent. If I had bought the house off I would not have bought his house, for he owns none. If I was in Savannah I would not resort to newspapers, but he would have to dmeet me man to man. Now, Mr. Washington, you scrub Mr. Adeer's floor and not my back, for I will at some early date make you suffer for this, false statement that you have had published. JAMES S. McMILLAN. In looking over the editor's column in the last issue of The Tribune, I am led to believe that the Hon. Tom E. Watson has not yet been initiated Into the mysteries of Masonry, for certainly he would have made some exception for Masonry because it stands for the right. It is the handwork of God running parallel with religion. It is elevating and educating; it teaches its members to be peaceable subjects, respecting the law of the country in which we live, and it is surprising to see an able man as the Hon. T. E. Watson speaking disparagingly of an organization whose aim is to make nobler citizens out of its members. Masonry is a great beacon to any race, both morally and spiritually, and is loved by all who are able to view its great objects. CHARLES STEWART, S. W., Eastern Star Lodge No. 58. TO SECURE COTTON TAXES Representatives from Southern States Are Banded-WILL Ask Congress A Washington special says: The southern members of congress are going to make a determined effort to fight through the present session a bill providing for the refunding of the $69,000,000 of cotton taxes paid during the years from 1963 to 1868. Wednesday night a meeting was held, attended by one representative in congress from each of the eleven southern states affected by this bill, and a permanent organization was formed. Later eleven southern senators will be urged to join the special committee, and work in a systematic and determined way for the passage of the bill. It is the purpose of the movers to have congress appropriate the money outright to pay to all holders, of cotton tax receipts. There will be no need for the employment of lawyers or lobbyists to push individual claims or any necessity for a reference of claims to the court of claims. In this instance the southern members of congress are lobbying for the passage of the measure through congress. They may not be successful at this session, but they believe with systematic work they will be successful next session. This was the tone of all the talks made. A resolution has been introduced calling upon the secretary of the treasury for a statement of the amounts paid under the acts of congress levying the tax. Including the names of those who paid the tax and the amount paid. The state legislatures throughout the south will be asked to adopt resolutions memorializing congress to pass the bill. Georgia has already taken this step. The chairman of the congressional committee is Representative Frank Clark of Florida, who introduced a bill on the first day of this session calling for a refund of the cotton tax and who supported his measure in a masterly argument on the law and the evidence a few days ago. Representative Bell of Georgia is secretary. These two, with Representative Helfin of Alabama, constitute a subcommittee to look after the details of the work. CLAIMED TO BE AGED 133. Remarkable Old Negro Passes Away In Troy, Alabama. Squire Mitchun, an old negro, who claimed to be 133 years old, died at the county hospital in Troy Tuesday night. He was born in South Carolina on February 15, 1775, and was set free by his master in 1862, when he was 87 years old. Mitchun claimed to remember when Washington died. He also claimed to have helped cut the three notch trail through Alabama when Jackson made his campaign against the Indians. ALABAMA'S COAL OUTPUT.
