VOL. XXIII. President Warns Senate Regarding Naval Bill. WANTS FOUR WARSHIPS Measure Will Probably Be Amended Somewhat, But There Will Be Small Chance of President's Wishes Being Respected. President Roosevelt will veto the naval appropriation bill, should the senate, as did the house, fail to make any appropriations for the two battleships which are authorized in that measure. The prompt announcement of this fact to senate leaders Wednesday is regarded as responsible for the announcement by Mr. Hale that he should propose an amendment appropriating $7,000,000 toward the construction of these battleships. The president stated his position on this point with equal emphasis and suddenness, upon learning that the bill, as passed by the house, was simply a "paper" provision for naval increase. Authorization of the ships was made, but no money carried to make the provision effective. Such legislation as this the president made known to numerous congressional callers was a travesty as to effectiveness, as well as bearing all the earmarks of a legislative legerdemain intended to make ridiculous his campaign for the gerater navy. That the president's quick and vigorous action is to be effective is evidenced by the action of Chairman Hale, of the senate naval committee, in announcing at the proper time he will propose the $7,600,000 amendment. As to his threat to veto, the president made it plain that should the wisdom of congress result in the passage of a bill providing for no naval increase whatever, he would have no grounds on which to veto the measure. Any attempt at what he regards as a travesty on legislation by authorizing investy on legislation by authorizing but not appropriating for ships, he declares he will defeat by the exercise of his constitutional power of veto. REAPER CLAIMS BANNERMANI Noted English Statesman Yleids to Death in London Home. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, former British premier, died at 9:15 o'clock Wednesday morning at his official residence in Downing street, London. The end was peaceful. A few hours before his death telegrams were dispatched to King Edward, who, with Queen Alexandra, is visiting the Danish royal family at Copenhagen; the prince of Wales and the cabinet ministers. Sir Henry's final illness dates from February 12, when he last appeared in the house of commons. QUIET IN PENSACOLA. Federal Injunction Against Strikers Has Salutary Effect. With a boycott upon the street cars and a federal injunction upon the strikers, Wednesday was the quietest day in Pensacola, Fla., since the street car strike began. The excitement and neryousness following the attempted assassination of Street Car Conductor Hoffman, who is now in a critical condition from the wounds, has passed away, and the city is resuming normal conditions. MOON IS RENOMINATED By Democrats of Third Tennessee Congressional District. Congressman John A. Moon was renominated unanimously by the democrats of the third Tennessee district. The convention also selected D. N. Hoston of Spencer, and J. B. Mayfield of Cleveland, as delegates to the democratic national convention at Denver. They were instructed for William J. Bryan. SECRETARY GIVEN FREE HAND. Can Contract for Any Type of Submarine Boats That He Sees Fit. The long existing controversy as to whether the United States should have submarine torpedo boats of the Holland type, as recommended- by the committee on naval affairs, was settled in the house of representatives Thursday when, after a lengthy and lively debate, the proviso limiting the secretary of the navy to purchase only boats of the Holland type was stricken out. The effect of the action was to give the secretary a free hand in the selection of submarine boats. The Savannah Tribune. STRIKERS CURBED By Federal Injunction Issued Against Them at Pensacola. RIOTING STARTS AGAIN Conductor Fatally Shot by Mob Which Attempted to Take Charge of His Car --- Situation in City Is Made More Acute. An Injunction was issued out of the United States court at Pensacola, Fla., Tuesday night by Judge Shpppard restraining members of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employees, as well as their friends and sympathizers from in any way interfering with the operation of cars by either violence or persuasion. After a week of quietness, due to the fact that the state troops were in the city, Pensacola is again in the midst of turmoll and excitement, due to rioting and shooting, which occurred on Tuesday morning. One car was attacked in the morning, and the conductor, G. Hoffman, is now lying with what is thought to be a mortal wound in his throat. The man has three wounds, two in the neck and a third, in the arm. His car was attacked by a crowd estimated at 25, who attempted to board it in the suburbs of the city. They failed and then attempted to catch the trolley rope, but again failed. As the car sped ahead at full speed the crowd opened fire. The motorman escaped, but three bullets struck the conductor, while the car was riddled. An alarm was sounded and a provisional mounted company of troops went on a dead run to the scene, but the parties escaped. Hardly had this excitement become abated before W. L. Wittich, Jr., a stenographer in a brokerage office, was fired upon from ambush by an unknown party. He had been ridden the cars, and was then going off, his home to the car line. The bullet struck a tree a few feet from him. DECITIZENIZING ANARCHISIS. Over One Hundred Have So Far Been Deprived of Rights. One hundred and fifty-four men have been deprived of the rights of citizenship by the circuit and superior courts at Chicago as a result of the war of the state and federal governments upon anarchists. At the request of the United States district attorney, Judge Pinckney of the circuit court McDay revoked the naturalization papers of fifty-five men who are suspected of having anarchistic affiliations, and last week Judge Ball revoked the papers of ninety-nine persons who had failed to take an oath that they were not connected with any society seeking the overthrow of the government. Twenty-five similar cases remain to be heard. Associated Press Appeals to Roosevelt to Smash Paper Trust The annual meeting, of the Associated Press was held at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, New York, Tuesday, with an exceptionally large attendance of the members from all sections of the country. Aside from the transaction of routine business affecting the organization, the most important action taken was the presentation and adoption of an address asking the president and the congress to "grant immediate relief from the exactions of combinations of paper makers." Advices from Uniontown, Pa., state that plans are about completed for the erection of three new coke plants by the H. C. Frick company in the Connellsville region. They will cost $4,000,000. ROMAN CHURCH ON WANE. Its Disestablishment in Italy Predicted by Archbishop Messmer. The disestablishment of the Roman Catholic church in Italy, within a few years, is predicted by Rev. Sebastian G. Messmer, archbishop of Milwaukee, in an interview. "Everything now," said the archbishop, "points to that event. The government is distinctly unfriendly to the church, and the church, having no voice in national matters, is powerless to avert a condition in Italy that will be but a repetition of the conditions now obtaining in France." THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. APRIL 25. 1908. HILL INCIDENT AIRED. House Members Sharply Criticise Wealthy Ambassadors—Griggs Discusses Disfranchisement. A Washington dispatch says: The attitude of Emperor William and the Berlin court toward David Jayne Hill, named by the president to be ambassador at that capital, was the subject of comment in the house of representatives Friday during the consideration of the diplomatic consular bill. Both Mr. Perkins, of New York, and Mr. Slayden, of Texas, expressed the opinion that the objection to Mr. Hill was due to no other cause than that Mr. Hill was financially unable to maintain a certain standard of social representation. Each of them comdemned the practice which they said had grown up of selecting men of great wealth to be the nation's diplomatic representatives abroad, and urged, as a means of counteracting the effect of such a policy, the housing of our diplomats in buildings owned by the government and the allowances to them of salaries sufficient to enable them to maintain the dignity of their high offices. Under license of general debate, Mr. Griggs, of Georgia, spoke in advocacy of the drifranchissement of the southern negro; Mr. Burton, of Ohio, discussed the causes of the recent financial depression; Mr. Hill, of Connecticut, reiterated his views in favor of the Fowler financial bill; Mr. Bird, of Mississippi, attacked the protective tariff policy of the republicans; Mr. Thomas, of North Carolina, made a plea in support of the proposition for an inland waterway from Cape Cod to Beaufort, N.C., and Mr. Saunders, of Virginia, urged governmental aid to various schools of the several states. In his argument favoring the disfranchisement of the southern negroes, Mr. Griggs declared that such disfranchisement was necessary to insure white control and the peace and prosperity of the north. In consequence of such action, he said the negro would be no less a factor than he is now. "At present," Mr. Griggs said, "he is only a menace and a scarecrow—not a factor, in determining political issues." The rights of the negro of the south, he maintained, were guaranteed—only through white judges and white jurors and those rights were not changed by disfranchisement. McLENDON TAKES THE BLAME For Issuance of Muchly Discussed Free Pass Order. Chairman McLendon, of the Georgia state railroad commission, Friday made reply to the criticism of President Duckworth, of the Farmers' Union, who charged that the state administration was apparently behind a scheme to foist immigration upon the state, whether or not the people wanted it. Chairman McLendon, in his statement, assumes full responsibility in healf of the railroad commission, but says "that Governor Smith had no more to do with this order than Mr. Duckworth had." But President Duckworth looks at it in a different light, and takes the position that as Governor Smith had proclaimed the policy that he would fire any member of the railroad commission who did not agree, with his views, he must share the full responsibility of the orders emanating from that body, especially as this particular order is in line with the governor's well known views on immigration. POSTMASTER COMMITS SUICIDE. Bends Bullet Through Brain Because of Business Troubles. J. D. Martin, postmaster at Leaksville, N. C., killed himself in the post-office building at an early hour Friday by sending a bullet through his brain. No reason is assigned for the deed, except business troubles. Mr. Martin was about forty years old, and leaves a family LIABILITY BILL A LAW. Prealident Attaches His Signature to Important Measure. The president Wednesday signed the employers' liability bill. The bill makes railroads or other common carriers while engaged in interstate commerce liable for the injury or death of an employee if the injury, or death results in whole or in part from the negligence of any of the officers, agents or employees, of such carriers, or by reason of any defect or insufficiency in equipment. AUSTRALIA RAIL HORROR. Crowded Excursion Trains Crash Together and Over One Hundred People Killed and Wounded. Advices from Melbourne, Australia, state that two excursion trains from Balarat and Bendigo, respectively, collided late Sunday night at Braybrook junction, about eight miles from Melbourne, forty-one persons being killed and sixty injured. The Bendigo train, with two heavy engines, crashed into the rear of the Ballarat train. Five cars of the latter train were wrecked. The wreckage took fire, and was almost completely consumed. Many of the beds were unrecognizable when recovered. The Bendigo train suffered but little damage, but the two engines were piled on top of the rear coaches of the other train. Terrible scenes followed the accident, many of the injured being caught in the wreckage and with difficulty rescued. It was a long time before doctors and nurses arrived on the scene, and as a consequence intense suffering prevailed among the injured. DEMOCRATS ANGERED. Speaker Cannon Wields "Big Stick" In Declaring the House Adjourned Without a Division. A Washington special says: A situation which has developed extreme tension, both personal and political, has grown out of the last minute of the session of the house Saturday. Speaker Cannon's action in declaring the house adjourned on the motion of Mr. Payne of New York, the majority leader, without heeding the demand of Representative Williams, the minority leader, for a division, is being denounced by Mr. Williams and by other members of the minority as "tyrannical." Representative Williams, while he did not care to make a statement concerning the situation, declared that the speaker of the house action was "the most high-handed proceeding that a speaker of a house of representatives ever had carried through." ALDRICH BILL TABLED. Committee on Banking and Currency Shys at Measure. The Aldrich financial bill will not be reported to the house. The committee on banking and currency, which has had the measure under consideration since it came from the senate, Friday unanimously voted to lay it on the table. The discussion in committee was brief. The only point debated was as to whether the committee should make a formal report giving its reasons to the house for its unfavorable action, and the conclusion finally reached was that no reasons should be given. Consequently the committee's report will be a mere statement of the action of the committee. NEGRO TO GēT LIFE SENTENCE. One of the Murderers of Atlanta' Pawnbroker Quickly Convicted. Jim Madden, the negro who was charged with having shot Jacob Hirsowitz, the pawnbrower, on the night of February 29, was found guilty of murder in the criminal court at Atlanta Thursday, and recommended for a life sentence. The jury was out only a few minutes, bringing in the verdict of guilty. Booker and Williams will be tried shortly. The detectives state they have a better case against Booker than they had against Madden. CARS RUNNING IN PENSACOLA. Strike Has Now Settled Down to a Question of Endurance. The street car strike in Pensacola, Fla., has settled down to a question of endurance. The cars are running regularly, manned by strike breakers. The strikers are ooding the city with appeals to al concerned to keep off the cars and are running motor cars and trucks fitted with seats to accommodate those depending on the cars? Injunctions Issued Against Five Companies by Federal Judge. Judge Kohlsaat, in the United States, circuit court at Chicago Wednesday, issued an injunction against five express-companies restraining them from issuing express franks and from transporting property in interstate commerce in exchange for franks. RELEASE FOR THAW ORDER A SCHEME Sought Through Application of Habeas Corpus Writ. First Step Taken to Get Slayer of Sanford White Out of New York State Insane Asylum at Matteawan. The first step in proceedings looking to the realease of Harry K. Thaw from the state asylum for the insane at Matteawan, N. Y., was taken Monday. James G. Graham of Newburg appeared as Thaw's counsel before Justice Morschauser of the New York state supreme court at White Plains, and applied for an order directing the superintendent of the asylum to permit Thaw to sign an application for a writ of habeas corpus. The order was promptly issued. According to the usual procedure in such cases Thaw will sign the application for a writ of habeas corpus, which will then be submitted to a justice of the supreme court, probably Justice Morschauser. Such writs are always granted and the date when the writ is returnable is fixed to suit the convenience of the parties concerned. Then Thaw will appear before a justice of the supreme court for a hearing to determine whether he should be released from the asylum as sane. Probably the hearing will be held before Justice Morschauser at Poughkeepsie. This method of obtaining the-release of a prisoner at the state asylum is usually taken when the state. lunacy commission is unwilling to declare that the prisoner is sane. MEMPHIS WOMAN USED GUN. Quarrel, About Children Leads to Tragedy in Tennessee Metropolis. At: Memphis, Tenn. Mr. James Wright shot and instantly killed Lella Gordon, a negro woman, Monday morning. Mrs. Wright used a single-barrelled shotgun and one shot tore an arm completely from the negro woman's body. Rushing into her home immediately following the killing of the Gordon woman, Mrs. Wright reloaded the shotgun and started in pursuit of Mary Davis, another negro woman. She shot at her once, after a desperate chase of nearly a block, but the shot was wild. Police officers arrested Mrs. Wright a few minutes later and she was locked up on a charge of murder. The homicide followed a desperate battle between white and negro women in which Mrs. John Wright, a sister-in-law of Mrs. James Wright, who lives with her, received a bad beating at the hands of the Davis and Gordon women. A quarrel over the children of the white woman belug stepped from playing with some negro children living in the vicinity led to the battle. BORAH DEFENDS PRESIDENT. Idaho Senator Tackles the Brownsville Case in Malden Speech. Senator Borah of Idaho, one of the ycuunger members of the senate, who has not yet won his spurs in congress, but who has achieved a reputation in his own part of the country as a trained lawyer and a speaker of force and ability, came to the defense of the president in the debate on the Brownsville case Monday. Senator Borah raised a square issue with Senator Foraker of Ohio, made light of the attempt to make the evidence support the contention that the soldiers of the twenty-fifth infantry did not do the shooting and struck some sledge hammer blows in the defense of the administration's course. He characterized the rioting at Brownsville as treason and said any form of compromise with it would be an outrage. FOR WAR ON BOLL WEEVIL Money is Included in Agricultural Appropriation Bill. The agricultural appropriation bill, which was reported to the senate on Monday by the committee on agriculture, provides for a number of important investigations. The bill, as reported to the senate, carries $11,642,146, an increase of $133,340 over the amount of the bill as it was passed by the house. Of the appropriation for demonstrating the best methods of meeting the ravages of the cotton boll weevil $10,000 is made available. Says President Duckworth of Georgia Farmers' Union. SCORES THE COMMISSION Free Pass Privilege Granted Head of Georgia Immigration Association, Subject of the Most Caustic Comment/ President R. F. Duckworth, head of the Farmers' Union of Georgia, has furnished to the press of the state an incisive communication dealing with the order of the railroad commission of March 27, and made public on April 14, by certain newspaper correspondents. As is well known, the Farmers' Union has strongly combated the immigration movement, urging, among other things, that it was not only a threat to Georgia labor, but that another of its effects would be the cheapening the price of cotton. President Duckworth takes exception to the order of the commission, at the issuance of which he expresses his antithesis. His statement is as follows: "To the Public: In the state papers of April 14 I find, much to my astonishment, an order issued by the railroad commission of Georgia on March 27 as follows: (Here President Duckworth quotes the order of the commission allowing free transportation to Chairman Betjeman, of the Georgia Immigration Association.) "When the governor told us that he believed he could convince the people of his position, we thought that he meant in a public discussion of the question, and we told him that we would be glad to see him try it. "In fact, we thought that if he wanted to discuss the question before the publis, the Farmers' Union would be glad to have a representative present to present its side of the question, but from this clipping it seems that the governor did not mean that he would meet fairly and squarely upon the stump the views of the Farmers' Union and discuss the question before the public, but that it was his purpose to have the railroad commission to assist the bringing of immigrants by furnishing free passes to the chairman of the foreign immigration association. "It looks to us like a scheme by which the administration hoped to thwart the will of the public and force upon the people foreign immigration, which they were so strongly opposing. "The Farmers' Union is still ready to meet any man on the stump who will champion the cause of foreign immigration, and we believe that our reasons will appeal to the masses of the people of the state of Georgia, and we will only be too glad to meet any man (whose reputation or following is worth consideration) on the stump in a discussion of this question, let it come early or late. "R. F. DUCKWORTH, Georgia President Farmers' Union, Union City, Ga. April 15, 1908." TAFT TO LEAVE CABINET. Will Resign About July 1st and Be Succeeded by Bacon. The intimate personal friends in Boston of Assistant Secretary of State Bacon, formerly of that city, have received information which leads them to believe that Mr. Bacon will become secretary of war about July 1, succeeding Secretary Taft, who is understood to be desirous of retiring from the cabinet at that time. The determination of Secretary Taft to retire is said to be quite definite, and is understood not to be dependent upon the outcome of the national convention, Warship Will Be Sent to Venezuelaan Waters Temporarily. An American war vessel will be sent to Venezuelaan waters, but her mission is to be an entirely peaceful one. The closing of the port of La Guayra because of the existence of what is believed to be hubonic plague, there has made it necessary for the slato department to have at hand some vessel to be used as a dispatch boat by Minister Russell in sending messages to Curacao or Port of Spain, Trinidad, and for taking cablegrams to him from the state department.

The case will be tried at Athens during the next term of the federal court. Atlanta to Welcome A., B. & A. A celebration of the entry of the first A., B. & A. train into Atlanta early in May will be arranged by the chamber of commerce. This is in recognition of the fact that, the A., B. & A. is essentially an Atlanta enterprise. It was conceived and carried out by Harry M. Atkinson, a resident of Atlanta for twenty-five years, and for a long time a member of the chamber of commerce. * * * Athens to issue $75,000 of Bonds. The people of Athens, at an election the past week, authorized an issue of bonds to the amount of $75,000.' The election passed off quietly and on account of absolutely no opposition to the bonds, the vote was rather light. Forty thousand dollars of this issue will go to the building of new sewers, and $35,000 to the extension of the water mains of the city. With this addition, the city will have expended $200,000 on her waterworks system and more than $125,000 on her sewerage system. * * * Republicans Fix Election Dates. The dates for the republican primaries and district conventions to select district delegates to the republican national convention have been fixed in each of the congressional districts in the state, and have been made known to Hon. Walter Johnson, chairman of the republican state central committee. As has been announced, the state convention, made up of delegates from each county, in the state, will take place in the city of Macon on the 14th of May. Methods of Lawyers Condemned.

Poultry Exhibit Next December. At a meeting of the Georgia Poultry Association, held in Atlanta a few days ago, it was decided to hold the annual poultry show in Atlanta December 1 to 5, inclusive.

Duckworth, president of the Georgia division of the Farmers' Union, speaks of the big fair to be held in Atlanta this fall under the auspices of the organization which he heads. Mr. Duckworth talked interestingly of the big agricultural show. He says the work of preparing the premium list and making other preparatory arrangements will be done when the fair committee of the Farmers' Union meets in Atlanta. This committee consists of one member from each of the congressional districts. A draft of the premium list will be presented to this committee by the directors of the Atlanta Fair Association and this will be perfected and then given to the printers. --- Government Road Planned. Petitions for a 60-mile macadam road from Atlanta to Waco, to be constructed by the war department, are being circulated and have already received a large number of signatures. Representative Lon F. Livingston is one of the movers and the petitions state he has promised his influence in congress to further the project. At Waco the war department has established a rifle range, and it is to provide a good route for the soldiers from Fort McPherson that the road has been proposed. As government roads are probably the best ever constructed, the highway would be of This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has complied with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens.

Soule, president of the agricultural college at tAhens, announces that during the latter part of June he will hold farmers' institutes in twenty-four senatorial districts in Georgia, exact dates to be announced later. Institutes will be held in the other twenty senatorial districts during the fall. With Dr. Soule there will be three corps of instructors, and these will cover the work of twenty-four institutes in one week. Each of these lecturers will be an expert and will doubtless give the farmer much theoretical work which can be readily placed into practice. One of the chief subjects to be dwelt upon will be that of self-support upon an economical basis for the planter. Along this line, Dr. Soule, who is an ardent advocate of the use of cotton seed meal, mixed with cotton seed hulls, as a cattle feed, will show how it is possible to secure the best results at the least possible cost by this method of feeding. It will be shown that this feed is equally good for horses. Cotton seed meal and hulls, a southern product, is very much more cheap than western hay and bran, at the same time being a better fat producer.

The first session of the Laymen's Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church; South, was held at the auditorium in Chattanooga Tuesday night at 8 o'clock. The vast hall was crowded to its utmost capacity, fully 10,000 persons being present. The meeting was opened with prayer. Following this an address of welcome was delivered by Mayor W. R. Crabtree, with response by General Julian S. Carr of North Carolina. Ambassador James Bryce of Great Britain, who delivered the principal address of the evening, reached the auditorium at a few minutes after 8 o'clock, and remained in waiting in an automobile at the front entrance. Ninth street was crowded with people. Two policemen stood guard at the automobile until the moment arrived for the distinguished British statesman to enter the auditorium. After the address of General Carr the audience sang "America," which was the signal for the entrance of Mr. Bryce. When he entered the auditorium the vast throng arose as one man and cheered him from the time he entered the door and continuing long after he had taken his seat on the rostrum.

Ex-Senator Edward W. Carmack and Governor M. R. Patterson opened their joint debate in the Tennessee gubernatorial campaign in Chattanooga on Thursday night. Thousands were turned away from the auditorium, being unable to get inside the doors. This campaign is the hardest fought since the period of the civil war. The contestants are giants in politics and masters in oratory, and their followers are worked up to a high pitch of enthusiasm. Train loads of people flocked to Chattanooga from all sections of Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia to hear the debate. The issue in the campaign is state-wide prohibition against local option. Ex-Senator Carmack has come out for state-wide prohibition. Every man thinks he could go the pace if he wasn't handicapped. .

SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1908. THERE should be no let up in registering our voters. Chatham county should have at least two thousand colored men on the registration list before it closes. Colored men should do their duty in this respect. It is said that Mr. Blodgett is the whole thing so far as the State League is concerned. Mr. Blodgett has decided to go as a delegate from the Fifth district instead of from the state at large As we see it he will not go as a delegate from anywhere. Political Dots. Much interest centers in the meeting of the First District at Waynesboro on May 5th. From present indications the present organization will win out easily. The majority of the counties have all ready aoted and over two-thirds of the delegates elected are for the organization. That means that Prof. Wright and his crowd will have to take to the timbers. McIntosh Republicans met on Saturday. Editor J. L. Grant and Mr. R. W. Collins were elected as delegates to the District Convention They are contested by Messrs. H. L. Fulton, and H. S. Blige. Capt. J. C. Simmons was at the convention and gave the voters a good talk. The Republicans of Toombs county awning into line last Saturday and had a rousing meeting at Lyons. Dr. J. H: Bugg was present and was among the speakers. He speaks highly of his trip especially the reception tendered him at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Cooper. The delegates to the convention are Rev. A. J. Gould and Mr. E. B. Cooper. Mr. Cooper was elected chairman and Mr. Wade W. Walton secretary. Jenkins county held its meeting last week. Mr. J.E. Warren was present and saw that things came around alright. Screven county will send four staunch delegates. The Republicans of Emanuel county will meet next Wednesday. Meetings will be held next week at Bryan and Liberty counties. It has been reported that Prof. Wright has formed combinations for the National Convention, and it reads thus: Wright and Williams of Chatham county. Wright and Stevens of McIntosh county. Wright and Curtright, said to be of Elingham. Wright and Elders of Tattnall. Wright and Warren of Burke. Bro. Warren we know will not stand for such a combination. If the above is true, it shows somebody up in bad light: Eight years ago the fight in this District was a team composed of the late Rev. E. K. Love, the late Capt M. J. Doyle, Rev. T. N. M. Smith and Prof R. R. Wright against Col. Deveaux. The combine was completely knocked out. They carried their fight to the National Convention, and while they were awaiting the appearance of Prof. Wright who was to appear before the committee the same day the professor was in Augusta making a speech and announcing that he was out of politics. How about it now professor? Second Baptist Church. The big baptizing will be the second Sunday in May. Pastor May has been assisted by Kews, Johnson, Molett and Rogers. Rev.

The residence of our pastor is on the corner of Gwinnett and Magnolia streets. On Sunday Rev.

NO SPLIT IN THE PARTY Republican County Convention Unanimous on All Questions Thursday of last week all of Militia districts held primaries and elected delegates to the Republican County convention that was held the following day at the Harris street hall. Of the eight districts there were contests in three of them. These contests were settled by the delegates from the five uncontested districts. After the temporary organization was perfected a committee on credentials of one from each uncontested districts was appointed. This committee considered the evidence submitted by both sides and reported to the convention in favor of the names appearing on roll. This report was unanimously adopted, even the two delegates, among the uncontested delegates who were favorable to the contesting delegates, voted in favor of the committee's report. At this juncture two or three of the boisterous leaders among the contesting delegates attempted to interfer, but they were promptly shown the door. The others remained quietly until the meeting adjourned, with the exception of Prof. Wright, Si West and one or two others who left after they saw that they were turned down. The selection of the delegates to the District and State Conventions, the election of chairman and secretary, the adoption of the resolutions protesting against the faculty of the Georgia State College indulging in politics, etc., were all voted upon unanimously. The following are the delegates selected: District Convention—J. C. Simmons, Sol. C. Johnson, J. H. Bugg, M D., J. H. Kinckle, R. N. Rutledge, H. Blun, Jr., J. H. Deveaux, W. R. Fields, W. D. Armstrong, J. D. Savage, L. E. Williams, R. B. Brooks. State Convention—H. Blun, Jr., J. H. Deveaux, J. H. Bugg, M D..J. J. C. Simmons, J. D. Savage, F. J. Hilton Ben. V. Sneed, W. R. Leaken, R. N. Rutledge, J. H. Kinckle, W. S. Scott, W. D. Armstrong- Capt. J. C. Simmons was re-elected chairman and Sol. C. Johnson secretary of the county for the next four years. In the District primaries, the most interest centered in that of the Fourth District where every effort was made to prevent Col. Deveaux. Capt. Simmons and Secretary Johnson from going as delegates to the county convention, but they were elected by a large majority and the opposition completely routed. Those who opposed the regular organization was badly defeated; and attempted to mislead the public by stating that there was a split in the convention. Similar tactics were adopted by Prof. Wright and his faction eight years ago, but they were 'ignominally whipped out, so much so that the professor made a statement that he was out of politics. He has not kept his word. Morning Star Dots. The Morning Star Baptist church held its regular services Sunday at the Sisters Hull, Russell street, Rev. H. L. Haywood, pastor. At 4 a.m, Rev. C Chatman preached a soul stirring sermon to a good congregation. At 11 a.m, the pastor preached an able sermon from the subject "Christ annotated at Bethany" to the Sunday school and church. At 3 p.m Sunday school was largely attended, after the lesson had been taught and reviewed, the teachers spoke of the unsaved in their classes. At 8:30 p.m our pastor preached a powerful sermon to a crowd from the subject "Power of memory." The Lord is blessing us in our meeting. The choir sung with great power. We extend an invitation to all the unsaved to come to these services being conducted every afternoon at 4 o'clock and at 8:30 p.m. Our pastor said Tuesday night that he wanted to be of some service to every sinner in the city.

JAMES FRASIER HOLMES who was born at Charleston, S. C., on March 29th, 1879, and died at Savannah, Ga., April 29th, 1907. Five children were we, and he the eldest son. He was kind, lovable, tender and parent-like. It was because of these emphatic traits of character that he was most. Never were there ties that bound a brother closer to his orphaned sisters or to domestic applications, than those possessed by our dear James. He has gone to his reward, but has left everlasting the memory of a life of devotion that will keep of remembrance of him like the April showers are to nature. We hear thy voice dear brother, We hear it on life's stormy sea, When winters nights are black and wild, And when asir, we speak of thee, Sleep dearest, we hear thy voice dear brother, In singing winds and falling snow, The Curfew chimes, the midnight bells Sleeping well, dear brother, it murmurs low; Flossie Holmes Bellinger, Gertrude Holmes Anderson, Daisy Florence Holmes, Robert Holland Holmes Call for Republican State Convention.

The colt will learn more easily at six months old than when a year-old. It can also be controlled more easily. Hence it is wise to handle the colt early. Its early training should’ not stop with breaking to the halter. It should be handled until it will drive as well as lend. To teach it all this and keep"it from forgetting what it has learned fs a little trouble, but if the colt is of good: stock the trouble is well paid for. Practice a little common sense with the young stock and note the hish rate of interest coming back.to you as the result of the investment,—Epitomist. The Farm Machinery. A great deal of money is wasted every year in replacing machinery that is worn out or disabled before its time. Rust and neglect probably in- jure more machinery than labor ‘Wears. A manufactuyer is said to have asserted that farmers would not Duy more than half the present amount of machinery if they took proper care of what thet have. A common cause of damage is ig- norance of the parts of the machine and how to adjust: them for best working conditions. A machine not in first-rate condition will often con- tinue in operation, but at the expense of strain and damage to the parts of the mechanism, causing a break down sooner or later, besides requiring 2 great deal more power in operation., The simple need of frequent oiling is neglected. Said a mechanic: “Oll is the cheapest machinery we have.” it is certainly cheaper than buying a new machine. A little observation will soon digcover which parts of the machine require most frequent oiling, and these should receive special care. Jn some machines it happens that parts that need olling are not easy to get at, with the result that neglect follows, until something happens. In mowing and harvesting machines the holes which admit oll to bearings of- ten become clogged and the oil fails to penctrate'where it will do the most good.—American Cultivator. Orchard and Chicken Yard Rirals. To-day the One-Acre Ranch has reached its culmination and displays extraordinary results. Every inch of ground has its duty to perform, every tree is in bearing, every-vine and plant is at a high point of develop- ment. The land, however, is by no means all given to agriculture. The house, a neat, comfortable cottage, takes up one,corner. In front of it is a small, well kept lawn and a flower garden. To the north of the house is a large storage cellar, a tool house, a dog kennel, numerous chicken houses and several fenced-in breeding and feeding pens, covering one-half acre. ‘The orchard occupies one-fourth of the acre. In it are 130 trees, includ- ing eight varletles of peach, seven of cherry and four of apple; also plum, apricot, quince, English walnut, Span- ish chestnut and almond. Between the trees and on the other fourth part of the acre, are grown berries and vegetables, thirty yarleties or more, Ancliiding potatoes, peas, beans, cu- cumbers, tomatoes, beets, onions, squash, parsnips, asparagus, peppers pickles, turnips, cabbage, strawber- ries, raspberries and blackberries The fence on threo sides’ of the place serves as a grape arbor, and, in sea: son, fairly groans with the weight of the fruit, 3 ‘The yearly Income from these pro: ducts would easily support the pro- prietors of the Oné-Acre Ranch, but ‘the poultry yard, not to be outdon by the vegetable kingdom, works pro digiously to outstrip its rival in swell. ing the bank account. The 170-od¢ thoroughbred chickens last year laid over 5000 ess® which sold at price ranging from twenty to forty-five eents per dozen. Two Industriou: black Spanish hens, which were kep inva pen of their own, Isid 420 egs: in one year. Two hundred and fifts settings ‘were sold for hatching pur poses, netting approximately $1 a setting. Besides the chickens for their own use, the Ljpes sold over 200 from last year's brood, from fifty cents for the spring chickens to §2 for the thoroughbred roosters.—Cen- tury. § Breeding and Feeding Swine. At a swine breeders’ meeting at Manhattan, Kan., Professor G. C. ‘Wheeler sala in part: “There is no animal kept on our farms which will so surely and quick- ly return us a profit upon feed con- sumed and care giveh asthe, humble and lowly hog. ; “The history of swine husbandry of the United States 1s one of the most interesting features of our live stock development. The hog popula- tion of the United States for 1905 was over 52,000,000, sixty-two and one-half per cent. of which were cred- ited to ten States, all with the excep- tion of Georgia and ‘Texas being cen- trally grouped In what is commonly known as our corn belt district. In other words, the bulk of our pork ts produced in our gréat corn States of the Central West. In fact, we may almost say that the hog has made ‘possible the development of this see- tion of our country. The type of hog grown 4s, of course, an Important fac- tor in the problem.’ We,are all strong for an animal which shall have the utility-feature highly developed. We want a hog which will fill the market requirements and which can turn the greatest amount of corn and other farm-grown feeds into’ pork at the lowest possible cast: : “There is nodomestic animal which adapts {tself as. readily to changed conditions and environments as the hog. The animat of the present day has been gradually evolved by selec- tion and methods of feeding and care until we have a smooth, symmetrical, compact. type, with the carly’ matur- ing and fattening character highly developed. “While from the market stand- point many of the strictly breed char- acters have no value, there are gome few characters which all must have, and I am going to mention one or two of the most important. “In order to be, highly profitable the farmer's market hog must, first of all, have a store of inherited vitality and vigor. Any inherited tendencies to constitutional weakness of any Kind will be fatal to the most profit- able results, ‘The animal must trans- form a large amount of material into a marketable product in a very short period of time, and any weakness or lack of vitality and vigor must result in breaking down’vf the animal and a failure to carry out to a profitable consummation {ts purposes in life. ‘This; coupled with a lack of fecundity jin the breeding sows, is the common- ‘est cause of complaint among our swine breeders and farmers. ‘The strong, vigorous sow, produc- ing and successfully raising seven or gisht pigs at a litter, has more than ‘double its value of the sow which will produce and raise but four. It is a fixed law in breeding that certain characters are in a way co-related. For example, the most highly devel- oped beef cow is seldom a beavy milk- er, and, again, the light milker is net so sure and regillar a breeder. Nat- ure seems to limit the production of offspring by the abillty to nourish and care for that offspring.” Notes of the Farm.

Holder, pastor of the Church of the Redeemer, Flatbush, preached Sunday on a line of thought suggested by the Emmanuel Movement. The subject was "Confession and Restitution in Their Relation to Mental and Physical Healing." The text was from Galatians 6:3 and 5: "Bear ye one another's burdens and so fulfill his own burden; every man shall bear his own burden." Mr. Holder sald: It is with timidity we enter into the teaching of Holy Scripture in connection with the modern movement of that which is called the "Emmanuel School," of Boston, taken up by Bishop Fallows, of Chicago, and Dr. MacDonald, of Brooklyn, with followers in many cities. We have spoken on "Christ's approach to sin and His recognition of it, rather than a denial of the fact." We have called your attention to "the possessing of the mind which was in Christ Jesus." To-day we shall endeavor to seek more light on the question by consideration of confession and restitution as a means to improve physical and mental conditions. We make bold to say part of the teaching is too superficial, and that it does not penetrate to the core; and that some of it, is too philosophical to reach the common people, who heard Jesus gladly. We also make bold to say divine things are looked for from moral sources and not divine laws. There are some things which are absolutely essential before we can make any progress whatever. They are in the teaching of Jesus and in the eternal law of how to make things right. It is not our desire to raise any ecclesiastical controversy or to defend any sacramental institution of the face of an,accepted essential fact and leave man. The issue of the question. Is confession necessary to relief of body? If so no whom? Has the law of restitution or making good, anything to do with my health of spirit, soul and body? We give no verdict, as it is too sacred a thing for any man to decide. We only try to get at facts and by God's help to assist another man to carry his burden, and advise how he shall be able to rid himself of his burden. We admit the superficial treatment in so short a time, but leave the thought for the quiet hour of deeper thinking and working. The sum of human happiness in this world is indebted to the feeling of sympathy. The power to make glad the heart of others, to extend effectual relief, to give vigor, gladness, inspiration and endurance, is in the possibility of every man. A warm hand which has touched yours in the hour of your defeat, or desolation or bereavement, has given a thrill of living response to your emotion. This is the voice of common experience. Sympathy is a key word for the progenitor of weak nature and distressed souls. It partakes of the spirit of Christ and fulfills the law. The apostle urges us to place our shoulders under another man's load and help him carry it, to put our heart against his heart and feel another's woe. We are to be understood as treating the subject of confession to God, sincere confidence. In men and restitution to the wronged man, in their relation to mental and physical conditions, and not in any ecclesiastical teaching whatever. Just downright practical common sense. Can our steps be made lighter? Can we put sunshine into our countenance? Can we enjoy better health in every way by the means of an open, clean-breasted confession? In the thought of to-day we place to one side all the various suggestions of the many named schools, and come directly face to face with God and man. Although at times we act very much as Naaman, the leaper, who spurned the prophet's instructions and was told by his servant: "If the prophet had bid the do some great thing, wouldst thou not have done it?" Why seek some mysterious way, when God has made it so easy to get at the cause? Why carry a burden when relief can be had by throwing off the albatross which hangs about our necks? In 1857 Lady Georgiana Fullerton, of England, published her book called "Ellen Middleton." At the time of writing she was a member of the Tractarian party of the Anglican Church, led by Newman Manning and Pusey. In her story she endeavors to show the absolute necessity of the establishment of the confessional, for the unburdening of the soul. Ellen Middleton believed she was partly the cause of the death of her cousin Julia. In endeavoring to restrain the foolish child Julia from climbing an old moss-covered, slippery staircase of Elmsley Priory, she became angry and struck her cousin a blow which caused the loss of her foothold, and falling down the staircase, she rolled into the river and was drowned. Ellen Middleton, believing there was no eye witness to the tragic ending of the life of her cousin Julia, and knowing in her heart there was never the slightest intent to destroy life, took up the duties of life, but was never free from the crushing burden of that awful hour. After some years Ellen Middleton was woed and won in marriage, and apparently lived in peace and happiness, but never the natural woman she should have been, owing to the carrying of her secret alone and the lack of acquaintance years after, by and with acquaintance her husband; if not, he would disclose the secret of her life, for he was an eye witness to the tragedy. Her husband discovers her on her knees pleading for mercy and to be let alone. This act is misinterpreted, in ignorance of the facts, and separation follows, her life destroyed by the carrying of her secret alone. Shortly after publication "Gladstone" review the book, and, while not indorsing the claim for a confessional, he advocated the need of an establishment of confidence between spiritual leaders and advisers for mutual burden bearing. Are we not safe in declaring the very root of much physical and mental trouble and sorrow lies in the fact of a secret, which our pride or shame will not disclose? We are willing to make our confession to Almighty God of His eternal silence; but we fear men our eternal be a disclosure and we come into living disgrace. Human hearts are ready to leave their sin with God and forget its past and press toward the mark of its high calling. But are human hearts ready to forget the past of others? Are we eager to stand at the jail door and put our arms about the jail bird, not necessarily a prison with iron bars, but to deliver them out of an eternal dungeon and help them in a fresh start of life and keep eternal silence? How shall we relieve the conscience in its troubles with some weighty armor of guilt and deep anguish is on its soul. Perhaps that soul has been more sinned against than sinning. It suffers alone, fear is in its eye, dread of man in its countenance. Its step is slow and it moves with bowed head. Our text is more than a counsel to "support the weak," "to be patient toward all men." Our personal gratification is not to be the rule for the exercise of our Christian liberty. We must thoroughly fulfill the law of Christ, "That ye love one another." There could be no burden-bearing except from a principle of love, and the fulfillment of duty implies a fullness of Christ's law. We must remove our hard and unsympathetic sense that we may know the need of others, for who can tell the hour when we may be overtaken in a fault and shall need all a brother's sympathy? It is at this point the question of confession comes in. We feel we are safe with God. His eternal quiet holds the secret of our hearts, but His eternal command is also to make good. What shall be our attitude toward those whom we have wronged? Many instances have passed where restitution is impossible, but we may not have passed the point of confession for forgiveness. God grant that in these fearfully serious times we may be led by the eternal light of His Holy Spirit to do that which is right both to God and man.

Awful Case of Scabies—Body a Mass of Sores from 'Scratching—Her Tortures Yield to Cuticura. "A young woman came to our city mission in a most awful condition physically. Our doctor examined her and told us that she had scabies, (the itch), incipient parasis, rheumatism, etc., brought on from exposure. Her poor body was a mass of sores from scratching and she was not able to retain solid food. We worked hard over her for seven weeks but we could see little improvement. One day I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and we bathed our patient well, and gave her a full dose of the Resolvent. She slept better than night the next day. In five weeks this young woman was able to look for a position, and she is now strong and well. Laura Jane Bates, 85 Fifth Ave., New York, N. Y., Mar. 11, 1907."

One of the ladies in waiting to the late Queen Victoria had a very bright little daughter about 4 years old, and of whom the Queen, was very fond. The Queen invited the child to have lunch with her. Of course the mother was highly pleased and charged the little girl to be very careful about her table manners and to be very polite to the Queen. The little girl came home in high glee, and the mother asked her all about the luncheon. "Were you a very polite little girl? And did you remember to do all I told you at the table?" asked the proud mamma. "Oh, yes; I was polite," said the little girl, "but the Queen wasn't." "The Queen wasn't!" said the mother "What did she do?" "She took her chicken bone up in her fingers, and I just shook my finger at her, like you did at me, and sald, 'Piggy, pliggy, pliggy!'"—Philadelphia Ledger. Carbonated Milk Effervescing or carbonated milk retalled in siphons or bottles such as are mow used for club soda may soon be a feature of public drinking places. Two experimenters at the Geneva agricultural experiment station declare that this beverage is easy to prepare, cheap and wholesome. Freshly drawn milk or ordinary pasteurized milk will keep, if in a cool place, for a long time after being carbonated —from four to five months. The heavier the pressure under which the gas is introduced—up to a certain point—the botter it keeps. The samples which remained in good condition for four months were subjected to pressures varying from 70 to 175 pounds. When the pressure is not too high the carbonated milk comes from the bottle as “a foamy mass more or less like koumiss.” It has a slighty yacid, pleasant flavor, but is somewhat more “salty” than ordinary milk—New York Globe.

MONIKER DRUG CO., Illinois BORAX IN THE DAIRY. A Matter of Profitable Internet to the A Matter of Profitable Interest to the Farmer and Dairyman. The problem of keeping sweet all the utentails used in connection with milk and cream selling, and butter making, has been a serious one with the farmer. He has come to realize fully that the slightest taint of hint of staleness left in a can, tin or churn may ruin a whole output; that the taint which is left is in the form of bacteria which grow and multiply in milk or butter, producing disastrous results. The farmer has learned that hot water won't rinse away the greasy residue in dairy utensils. He has learned that soap leaves a residue of its own which is, if anything, worse than the milk or cream residue, and it is little wonder that there has been a constant clamor for a dairy cleanser and sweetener that will meet modern requirements. A few of the largest creamery establishments have called experts into consultation on this problem and have with this scientific aid hit upon a product of nature which exactly fills the bill—borax. Scientists have long known borax as a cleanser, a sweetener and an antiseptic destroyer of bacteria and germ growths. Destroys all that is harmful and promotes and preserves freshness, sweetness and purity, relieving the dairyman and dairy housewife of drudgery and of needless work and worry. Its cheapness and value should give it first place in the necessities of every dairy. The cow's udder is kept in a clean, healthy and smooth condition by washing it with borax and water, a tablespoonful of borax to two quarts of water. This prevents roughness and soreness or cracking teats, which make milking time a dread to the cow and a worry to the milker. The modern cleanser of all dairy utensils consists of—one tablespoonful of borax to every quart of water needed. Remember—a tablespoonful equals four teaspoonfuls. Be sure that you get pure borax. To be sure, you must get "20 Mule Team Borax." All dealers.

Four Color Eyelids Dial Eyelids Fashion Notes THE LADY'S DRESS New York City.—The over waist in all its variations continues to be a favorite of the fashionable world and it allows of so many different effects and such charming treatment that the 1 fact is easy to understand. This one is novel and graceful and can be utilized either for plain material or for banding, while the blouse benefit can be made of anything thin and H soft that may be liked. As illustrated, however, the overwaist is made of embroidered banding, while the blouse itself is of crepe ninon with the chemisette of tucked mousselline. The sleeves that extend just to the elbows and are finished with narrow frills are pretty and attractive, but they can be cut a little longer, covering the elbows, if liked, in which case they would be made with cuffs to match the chemisette, as shown in the small view. When the blouse is made with banding, as in this instance, the sections are cut separately and joined one to the other over the shoulders, but when it is cut from plain material there is no need of such joinings. In either case the over waist and the blouse are joined at their lower edges and are attached to a foundation girl over which the draped one is arranged. The blouse is made with front and backs and is faced to form the chemisette, the material beneath being cut away when a transparent effect is desired. The larger portions of the over blouse are cut in one piece each with the centre front portion separate, and are arranged over the blouse, which is gathered at the lower edge and joined to the girdle. The sleeves are moderately full and are arranged over fitted linings which are faced to form the cuffs of the three-quarter sleeves or trimmed with frills of lace in the case of the elbow sleeves. The quantity of material required for the medium size is, for the blouse, two and a half yards twenty-one, two and a quarter yards twenty-seven, or one and a half yards forty-four inches wide, with three-quarter yard of tucking for chemisette; one and one-eighth yards eighteen or twenty-one inches wide or four and three-quarter yards of banding two and a half inches wide for the over waist and sleeve bands; five-eighth yard of silk for the girdle. Stockings must match shoes, whether white, blue or tan. Black Velvet Dots. In making up a black spangled robe over a ruffle of pleated chiffon it is a clever idea to connect the two by sewing to the ruffle at regular intervals big disks of black velvet. Fancy Blouse Waist. The pretty fancy blouse waist is the one most in demand at the moment both for the entire gown and for the odd blouse. This one is adapted to both purposes and would be exceedingly charming made from any of the fashionable thin materials. In the illustration crepe de Chine is combined with chemisette of lace and is trimmed with heavy appliqué, while the sleeves are finished with dainty little bands and frills of Valenciennes lace. The blouse, however, would be charming in louisine, in volle, in marquisette, in chiffon and all similar materials and also in the fashionable fillet and embroidered nets. The soft folds produced by the fullness at the shoulders render it peculiarly well adapted to these last and the model is altogether a most satisfactory one. There are the big arm-holes suggestive of Mandarin styles, yet which are by no means clumsy or exaggerated, while the sleeves can be made either in the pretty three-quarter or full length. Altogether the blouse gives an effect of extreme dressiness and charm, while it is simple, involving very little labor in the making. The blouse is made over a plain lining without darts. This lining is faced to form the chemisette and the sleeves are attached to it. The blouse proper consists of the fronts and the backs and is arranged over the lining, the two being closed invisibly at the back. The sleeves are faced to form the deep cuffs when long sleeves are 5. used to form the V-shaped portions for those of three-quarter length. The collar can be made either curved up back of the ears or straight as found more becoming. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three and three-eighth yards twenty-one, two and seven-eighth yards twenty-seven or one and seven-eighth yards forty-four inches wide, with one-half yard of all-over lace for the chemisette, four yards of applique, one yard of insertion and one yard of edging to make as illustrated, one and one-half yards of all-over lace when the deep cuffs are used. Ever so many of the very newest hats are turned up on the left side. Grand Lodge Call. Atlanta, Ga., March 19, 1908.

It being celebrated as Easter, the chapters, in some of the cities were not able to arrange for a public demonstration, but will do so tomorrow. The Grand Secretary has received requests for blanks from only one lodge. This shown that the other lodges received theirs on time.

When sickness brings a brother's woe, On his errand he should go. If in health and in distress, He should not leave him comfortless. When on his knees at prayer He should remember his brothers there; Pray that the erring brother find the way And in the path of duty stay. When a brother's secrets he has in store, He should conceal them as never fore— For this is but a brother's duty; Now will you accept and stay in the path of Beauty? To brother he should always be true Before his face and behind his back, too— Be careful what words you use In order to dodge words of abuse. Always whisper a word of caution in his ear: Then his obligation he'll always fear; Whisper both to the known and the stronger stranger, For this cuts off approaching danger.

After which Brother W. T. Reid, the orator of the day, spoke on his subject, which was "Love," and every member who was fortunate enough to hear him was benefited.

A Washington special says: That it is constitutional for the national government to acquire land in the states for forest reserves when it can be shown that such acquisition is an aid to navigation was declared Wednesday by the house committee on judiciary. The adoption of a resolution to this effect followed a vote holding unconstitutional the bill providing for the creation of the White Mountain and Appalachian reservation in the absence of requisite information concerning the effect of the proposed-reservation on the navigability of the streams which are fed by the waters within its boundaries. Following is the resolution which was unanimously adopted by the committee for the guidance of the house: "Resolved, That the committee is of the opinion that the federal government has no power to acquire lands within a state, solely for forest reserves; but under its constitutional power over navigation, the federal government may appropriate money for the purchase of lands and forest reserves" in a state, provided it is made clearly to appear that such lands and forest reserves have a direct and substantial connection with the conservation and improvement of the navigability of a river actually navigable in whole or in part; and provided that any appropriation made therefor is limited to that purpose. "Resolved, That the bills referred to in the resolutions of the house are not confined to such last-mentioned purposes, and are therefore unconstitutional." This action of the judiciary committee opens the way for the friends of the Appalachian project to frame a new bill within the constitutional limitations outlined. HIGHWAYMEN LOOT BANK.

EASTER DAY. A RECORD BREAKER. SEVENTY PERSONS ARE CONFIRMED And Given the Right Hand of Fellowship—The-Sunday School Missionary Collection the Largest in the History of St. Phillip's Church. Without a doubt the attendance at each service during the day was the largest of any previous Easter day. At 4 a. m. the resurrection sermon was preached by Rev. J. A. Lindsey, D. D. The solemnity of this sermon brought tears to many eyes, but to know that the blessed Savior had risen brought joy to many hearts. At 11 a.m. the baptism of children and adults took place. Indeed it was a beautiful sight. The decoration of the church and so many beautiful hats and seventy converts all ready for baptism and to receive the right hand of fellowship made this service long to be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to get inside of the church. The instruction given the converts after baptism by Rev. Lindsey was very touching and very helpful, and if they will heed, to them it will be a lamp to their feet to guide them through the world. The Sunday school Easter exercises took place at 3:00 p.m. This is a day that the children look forward to with great interest. It was a great delight to behold teachers and children all gowned in their new dresses and hats. The scene looked as if it was one great flower, garden. The music rendered, papers read and the recitations were, as a whole, the best that have taken place for many years. To cap the climax and break all records, the money raised by the school was the largest in its history. The following is the report by the different department of the Sunday school: Adult Classes.
