GOVERNS BY EXECUTION
Count Tolstoi Declares this the Policy of Czar's Government.
INHUMAN DEEDS ARE COMMON
Russian Author Declaras That He Can No Longer Endure the Crimes Committed in Russia.
London, England.—The Daily Chronicle prints three close columns of the most passionate and severe indictment ever penned by Count Leo Tolstol, the Russian author, in which he shows all his old vivid skill, of the present system of "government by execution" in Russia, the article concluding with a noble appeal to the better nature of his countrymen.
During the course of the article, the count writes:
"I can no longer endure it. I write this *or* either that these inhuman deeds may be stopped or that my connection with them may be snapped and I be put in prison, where I may be nearly conscious that these horrors are not committed on my behalf, or still better (so good that I dare not even dream of such happiness), that they may put on me as on those twenty or twelve peasants, a shroud and a cap and may push me also off a bench so that my own weight may tighten the well-scaped noose around my old throat."
After describing wholesale executions in gruesome detail, Count Tolstoi says:
"All this is carefully arranged and planned by the learned and enlightened people of the upper class. They arrange to do these things secretly at daybreak and they so subdivide the responsibility of these inquiries among those who commit them that each may disclaim responsibility, and not these dreadful things alone, but all sorts of other tortures and violence are perpetrated in the prisons, fortresses and convict establishments," with regard to the government's contempt that there is no way to suppress the revolutionists. Count Tolstol, when admitting that the revolutionists' crimes are stupid and reprehensible in the highest degree, accuses the government of doing the same thing for the same motive and adds:
RHYME FOR ROCKEFELLER
Presacher Sends Metrical Congratula-
tions to the Oil Magnate.
New York City—John D. Rochefeller was the recipient of many congratulatory messages on the occasion of his recent sixty-ninth birthday anniversary. Among them were some lines from the poet of Rex George Thomas Dowling who was for twelve years pastor of the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church, in Cleveland, which Mr. Rockefeller attends. Mr. Dowling's message was as follows: "Clay to the habit of still being
*Cling to the habit of still being*

NEW COLLISGE-AT MILLEDGEVILLE, GA.
One of the First of its Kind in the County Open's September 1st.
Milledgeville, Ga. — The American Cotton College, an institution for the education of young men, farmers, warehouses, cotton buyers and others, in the science of classifying and grading 'cotton, has been instituted here by Prof. J H. Dickinson and Mr. R L Wall, the well known cotton buyer and expert, and will begin operations on September 1st. Suitable quarters have been secured and a large attendance at the first sessions is assured.
The new college is one of a very few of the kind in the country. Classes will be taught by correspondence as well as by person and this feature is sure to become popular.
INVESTIGATE THE PRISONS.
Georgia Legislature Groves Thorough Examination.
Atlanta, Ga.-Both houses of the Georgia Legislature passed resolutions providing for "an examination and investigation into the conduct and management of the prison commission, its officers and employees, and all convict leases."
This action was taken in response to a recommendation made by Governor Smith in his annual message to the legislature in which he called attention to the published charges reflecting upon the official conduct of the chief warden.
CHINESE IN BOX CAR.
Nine Men Had Been in Closed Car From San Francisco to Baird, Texas. Abilene, Texas.—A deputy sheriff broke the 'seals off a box car at Baird, Texas, and arrested nine Chinese, concealed there, who, it is alleged, were being smuggled into this country. The car came from San Francisco and was consigned to Pittsburg, Pa. It was about half-loaded with beans in sacks and the Chinese had about forty gallons of water in cans, a box of crackers and a couple of loaves of bread when arrested, which was what was left of the provisions they started with.

FINDS JOBS FOR IMMIGRANTS.
Government Starts Big Employment Bureau for Foreigners.
Washington, D. C.-Interesting work is being done by Secretary Straus, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, for the immigrants coming to this country by the formation of a gigantic free employment bureau.
Nine hundred thousand postal cards have been sent to all employers on rural free-delivery routes, whether they be farmers or artisans, asking if help is needed in their communities. Already more than 1,400 replies have been received, although the cards were sent out only a short time ago. The immigrants after going through the channel of immigration reach a stage where they are suspicious of every person. It is expected that it will restore their confidence and materially aid them, when they can be made to see that the employment bureau is under the control of the Government and is designed for their especial benefit.
That the foreigners are beginning to appreciate the work, which in reality is in its infancy, is shown by the success in New York city. 'The office in New York was opened about February 1. So great was the rush of applications one day last week that the presence of the police was necessary to restore oider. There were 551 new applications for work during the week. Of this number 97 immigrants were sent to farmers in various States and secured remunerative employment
MEN LET WOMEN DROWN.
Two Hundred Stand by and Offer No Assistance—One Steals Purse.
Chicago, Ill.—While two hundred men and boys sat or stood within a comparatively few feet of her and in sight of nearly 1,000 others, an unidentified woman fell, or rolled purposefully from the north pier at the mouth of the Chicago river and drowned. Although she screamed repeatedly for assistance, not a hand in the crowd that watched her struggles in the water was lifted, to save her. Instead one of the gazers stole the woman's purse and hat, which she had placed on the pier beside her, and fled.
A half hour later the body was taken from the water by Captain Carland and his men from the life saving station.
The body was neatly dressed. The woman, apparently, was 35 years old, five feet four inches tall, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes, and weighed 105 pounds.
OBALDIA ELECTED PRESIDENT.
Panama Election Passed Off Almost Without Disturbance.
Panama.—The presidential elections throughout the Isthmus of Panama passed off without disturbance. Senator Don Jose Domingo de Obladia, formerly minisister to the Old States, and acting president during the absence of Dr. Amador, was elected president. At the conclusion of the balloting enthusiastic crowds, headed by a band of music, paraded the streets of Panama, cheering continuously for the newly elected president. There appeared to be an absolute absence of ill-feeling between the former supporters of Senator Arias and the adherents of Senor Obladia. Never before has such a friendly spirit been seen so quickly after an election.
BELLS IN 46TH STORY.

New York City—Four of the largest and costliest bells in the world are to be placed in the forty-sixth story of the new tower of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company's building, Madison Square, and from a position about 650 feet above the pavement, nearly twice as high as any in the world, their deep tones will announce each quarter of an hour.

THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1908.
NOMINATION ACCEPTED
Thos. Watson Formerly Notified by Populist Party.
MADE ELOQUENT ADDRESS
In Atlanta Defending Policies of His Party--Six Thousand People Attend the Meeting.
Atlanta, Ga.—Honorable Thomas E Watson of Georgia was notified Thursday of his nomination for the presidency by the populist party, the notification speech lying made by Judge Jay W. Forrest of Albany, N. Y., and in an address which covered national issues in a vigorous and comprehensive fashion accepted the nomination. Previous to his being notified of his nomination Mr. Watson addressed the Georgia state convention of the populist party.
The notification meeting was held at Ponce de Leon Park at Atlanta, and the hall was crowded. About six thousand people being in attendance.
After Mr. Watson ascended the platform, Dr. W. W. Landrum, pastor of the First Baptist church, Atlanta, offered a fervent prayer, and when Mr. Watson was presented to the "audience, the band played "Dixle," and because of the continued applause it
JOHN H.
HON. THOS. E. WATSON.
was several minutes before the speaker was able to begin his eloquent address, in the midst of which he received frequent applause, holding the close attention of the entire audience. In his speech of acceptance Mr. Watson referred repeatedly to himself and his political comrades as "we Jeffersonians," indicating faintly the change in title which it is predicted will ultimately be made in the people's or populist party. The change, it is said, will not be made by any antidote or resolution. The name Jeffersonian, say the authorities, will gradually come into general acceptance and will eventually supersede the present name which the party headed by Mr. Watson bears.
Mr. Watson's speech was a clear exposition of the principles of the populist or Jeffersonian aarty.
With forcible diction, Mr. Watson advocated and condemned, upheld and criticised. He declared himself in favor of municipal ownership, in direct reference; though municipal ownership (with its corallary, government ownership) is condemned by many populists, as creating a government political machine, a gigantic oligarchy, which it would be impossible to overthrow. He condemned corporations and capitalism in specific terms, exorcising them for their greed and for the insatiable maw which they feed with human life annually greater than the losses of the civil war. He attacked President Roosevelt as an alleged big stick president who stands pat with the stand-patters, and insists that government notes and breaking the money corner in Wall street that caused the panic last fall. He condemned projective tariff, believing that trusts are the offspring of monopolies and that trusts can never be stifled until monopolies are done away with.
He denounced the new national currency law, the Aldrich-Vreeland bill, saying that the national government has surrendered its sovereign power to individual bankers when the constitution expressly forbids even to states the right to issue currency or to make other than gold and silver their legal tender.
He attacked the interference in state government which federal judiciaries have been practicing of recent years, arrogating to themselves a right which does not exist. At the conclusion of his speech Mr. Watson was given a great ovation.

and hunted, and killed, but not a hair of your-head shal} perish; im your
hearts possess ye yuur patience,” and tens of thousands jvent down gsladty
to death. * {
The mightiest of all human impulses Iie far beyofid the plane of the
syllogism. If we would lead men upward it is surely well for us to know
that reason is not the most potent faculty, nor has {t the cleares eye. Mar-
velous’ as is logic, should we succeed in reducing the whole of man to
that level it is quite Hkely that we shall find that we have gone far toward
unchaining the tiger.

In Memory of my husband
ZACK CADE
Who departed this life Juue 28, 1907:
O Remembrance!
Why dost thou open all my wounds again
Thinking will make make me sad; why
roust I think?
When no thought bring you back,
Still over the scenes my memory wakes.
‘And fondly broods my misses care,
Time but the impression deeper makes,
As streams their channel deeper wear,
Through the shadowy past,
Like 2 tomb searcher memory ran,
Lifting each shrend that time had cast
O'er buried hope, .
It haunts me fatill tho one year has fied,
But God who oft’n decend to visit men,
Lays him in dust and calls him to the
skies,

“DREDGE, THAT, SUCKS UP CLAY,
dake Sicurgan,
In the excavation of harbor chan-
mels"and the-reiricval of-saiid barg in
‘rivers wonderful work Has been-done
in the last few yedrs with the suction
dredge. This" device consists “ot a
pump, capable of drawing in through
“_ashuge pines sandjsamall stones and
aWater,,and forcitg 2 stream of the
‘compotind to a sonsfderable distance.
Sometimes it is discharged into a
hopper on the barge which carries
the pump, but usually the mixtare {Is
deposited at a convenient point on
the adjacent shore. Thus the build-
‘ing up of a bank, where such an op-
eration is desirable, cin be carrled on
simultaneously ‘with that of digging.
‘Whei the material is delivered at a
distance, it {8 forced through 4 ‘sec-
ond pipe that floats on scows or pon-
toons.
One of the most recent undértak-
ings wlth sugh methods fs the- filling
in of a Wwide,area on the water, front
ot Chiedgo. “This measured a mille in
length by nearly a third of a: mille
(1500 feet) fn width. It was bound-
ed by a stone breakwater composed
of rock removed along the route of
thejChicago Drainage Canal. It was
purposed to cover the region; with
clay dug from the lake bottom,in the
immediate vicinity. For the perform-
ance of.the*work a dredging boat 148
feet long, thirty-eight feet wide and
ten andja .Malf feet deep was de-
signed. It was equipped with a
p§mp Haye at thirty-inch suction pipe
and discharge pipe, and an engine of
1800 hors8“gower. A rotary cutter,
nine feet in diameter, and provided
withLeight Vlades, served to loosen
‘the material On the bottom. Sd suc-
cessful was {ts action that many
pieces four or five feet long were
found In the discharge.

Apropds of the approaching demo-
Mition ot New York's Chivatown, it is
Interesting to know that the first
Chinaman to take up his abode in
New-York, whose name is writ at all

salling-ship from around the Horn

advent of the tea-store in Mott street,

repossess the citizens or the police
in favor. of ,his felloy-countrymen.
“He was Quimbo Appo,” says Frank
Marshall White, in Harper's Week-
Jy, “a-man of exeeptiona’ intelligence,
but a flend wien drunk—which tras
most of the time that he was out of
prison. He tharried a white wife and
killed her, saving his neck by a plea
of self-defense, but being sentenced
to ten: years’ imprisonment, Being,
as has been said, an-intelligent man,
Appo-became a convert to Christisth-
ity in the Tombs, anid his converters
secured his pardon after he had
served ‘only.a Year or two of his sen-
tence. He qwatifed again, another
white woman; attempted ta kill her,
and served a sentence of one year.
Un his. release he murdered a Pole,
and was sent to Prison-for five years:
and. completing ‘his sentence, was
convicted of manslaughter for killing
auother white woman and given a
stven Years’ term, but died insane
before ‘it was completed. Apno be-
queathed to the State one son, a
congenital criminal, who spent most
of his life Im prison, ard finally died
in an iusane asylum, like his father.”
Planted on Shares.
A captious traveler {n Northern
Arkansas stopped by a fence to criti-
cise a sear cgrnfleld which met hisdisi
approval. 'Mighfy small corn you
have there!” he shouted to the nian
who was “superintending the growth”

“Yep,” said the Arkansan. “Plant-

Killing, Poultry.
‘The first essential fs that the fowl
shall have absolutef¥7 ‘no food for
thirty-six hours so that ils crop, siz-
zard and fntestines stiall be ematy.
First-elass dressing demands that
the fowl be dry picked—not scalded.
‘This makes the French method of
k{lling very essential. By this meth-
od the fowl 1s suspended by a loop
around “ts legs to a hook on the wall.
With a “quick thrust through the
brafx the operatorkills the bird and
severs the main arteries. At that In-
stant he begins plucking the feathers.
‘They pull “easily then—a - minute
later they come Hard, but in that one
minute the worst of his task is done.
The carcass is then cooled, formed
in the forming troughs, so as to pack
nicely and is then ready for shipment.
No fncision is made, In the skin of
the fowl. None of the interior organs
were removed. The moment the in-
terlor of a fowt is exposed to the afr,
decomposition sets ii. Packed or
handled as describéd the fowl will
keep perfectly for days, or if in cold
storage for weeks or months.
Cooks and some,housekeepers ob-
Ject to this method of dressing fowls;
‘but the more Intelligent know that it
isthe only safe and sanitary ‘way of
doing the work. * °°
‘The English method @itters only In
the killing. No knifé Is used, no
bleeding {s done. , The, vertebra next
to the skull Is severed from the head
by a strong quick jerk of the opera-
tor; this causes Instant death and a
loosening of the fédthers as In the
French method. .'Thé ead is drawn

THE PULPIT.
A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY DR. CURTIS LEE LAWS.
Subject: Christianity and Business.
Brooklyn, N. Y.—The Rev. Dr. Curtis Lee Laws, in the Greene Avenue Baptist Church, preached on "Christianity and Business." The text was from Deuteronomy 8:18: "Thou shalt remember the Lord thy God, for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth." Dr. Laws said: When a man becomes a Christian he does not sever his relations to the world in which he lives. He is given to Christ by the Father as a personal and perpetual possession, but instead of translating him, Christ sends him back into the very world from which he has been saved. Christ said to the Father: "As Thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world." But when Christ sends the saved man back into the world, He sends him back as a new man. "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world." The Christian is in the world, but in the world with a new motive, a new purpose, and a new power. Our Master well knew that it would be difficult for His disciples to be in the world without being of the world, and so He prayed: "I pray not that He shouldst take them out of the world, that Thou shouldst keep them from evil." From the beginning, therefore, the relation of the Christian to the affairs of life has been a problem worthy of the most serious study. In the early times there were fanatics who felt that, it was below the dignity of a Christian to enter the secular results. In which they had been engaged. They gave up their business and brought discredit upon their profession by the vagaries of their other worldly The Apostle Paul tried to correct the abuse in his second letter to the Thessalonians. In his first epistle, in view of the second coming of Christ, he had urged the people to separate themselves from the world. Misinterpreting his purpose, they had given up their regular employments, and had gotten into mischief. In the second epistle the apostle says: "For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all but spending their time as busy-bodies. Now, them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work and earn their own bread."
The greatest problem for the Christian man is to adjust himself to the callings and pursuits of this life, that he may best serve God, his fellow men and the highest interests of his own soul. Instead of translating us to glory at our conversion, God leaves us here that we may perfect personal holiness, working out our own salvation with fear and trembling, and that we may win the world to our new-found King. These are the two functions of the Christian. It is the will, of God for His people to engage in the ordinary vocations of this world, that they may earn an honest living and 'at the same time show forth to the world the saving and keeping power of Jesus Christ. Though it is the will of God for His people to engage in the business of this world, it can be readily seen that there are certain limitations which arise from our relations to God.
But, again, the Christian man can engage in no business which will harm his fellow men, whom he has been sent to win to Christ. If you are in a business which is honest and legitimate, others will share with you the benefit of that business. If your gain means loss to others, then your business is not the business in which a Christian man can engage. If you cannot conduct this business yourself, you cannot own stock in it and share in the profits of it without bartering your soul for gold. If you can't conduct the business yourself, you cannot rent your property for the business, you cannot adding hypocrisy to your other sins. May God have mercy on the hypocrites who will not goil their hands by engaging in a wicked business, but who will stuff their pockets full of the dirty money received as dividends or rent from the conduct of this same wicked business.
Note now some of the incentives to business activity. "Thou shalt remember the Lord thy God, for He has given the tree power to get wealth." The money-making gift is from God. The apostle urges us to be diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. God has no patience with indulence and sloth. All through the Bible the stamp of God's approval is put upon industry, while His curse ever rests upon idleness. It is God-like to work. Our Lord said, "The Father worketh hitherto and I work." There is no place in God's economy for the idler. He cumbers the ground.
Business activity brings wealth, and this is an incentive which ought to appeal to the generation in which we are living. Wealth ought to be desired by every man, because wealth is a mighty factor in the world in which we live.
Think of what wealth can do for the individual. It can give opportunity to acquire high and noble tastes. It can give leisure for study and research. These in turn will cause the mind to grow stronger and the character to grow nobler. Wealth can purehase length of days, and it can secure to us the atmosphere in which human love can blossom and bear fruit to perfection. Think of what wealth can do for the family. -It can surround our loved ones with books and paintings. It can provide the highest culture for our children. It can enable us to dispense a generous hospitality and to make our homes the centre of a delightful and ennobling religious, social and intellectual circle.
Think of what wealth can do for society. It can lift up those shattered and maimed victims of vice and poverty. It can cleanse the augean stables. It can send the brightness of day into the loathsome, fetid haunts of darkness. It can lay out and beautify parks. It can establish and perpetuate universities and libraries. It can support artists and scientists that they may devote their time to creating the beautiful and the useful. It
can set the spindles and wheels of manufacture in motion. It can give the poor the chance to earn an honest living, that self-respect may not be lost by receiving charity. Oh, the value of wealth to society!
Think of what wealth can do for the church. The cause of Christ is languishing all over the world because there is not money sufficient to carry on Christ's work to the glory of God. Our local churches are suffering because of poor equipment and the lack of workers who can devote their whole time to the cause. Our Christian colleges, orphanages and hospitals could double their efficiency if they had more money. Our missionary societies are all povertyless from missionary force in the great cities, the colleges and in heathen lands could all be doubled in twelve months if we had sufficient means. This is true of all Christian denominations. May God prosper the people and then make them willing to lay their gold at His feet!
Business even, I exhort you in the name of the King to be diligent and self-denying and frugal that, success may crown your efforts; for no one can estimate the good that your wealth can do to yourself, to your family, to society, and to the kingdom of God in the world.
Let us now consider the perils of business success.
I have exhorted you to fidelity, persistence, energy in your business life. I have told you of the glory which comes with wealth, but I would be false to your highest interests. If I did not hold up before you some of my perils which confront the man who makes a great success in business.
"What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" No man can gain the whole world, or a millionth part of the world, but if he gained the whole of it at the cost of his soul it would be a calamitous bargain. The text means simply that in the effort to gain wealth many forfeit their own souls. The temptation is to neglect the higher for the lower, to give up the spiritual for the temporal, to give up the unseen for the seen. How pitiful the thought that men spend a lifetime in the vain effort to corral the world and find themselves at last without a soul. What does it mean by losing one's soul? The expression is not equivalent to being condemned, though of course it leads to perdition. The soul here spoken of by Jesus means the faculty in man which apprehends God and goodness. Jesus says that the man who pays too much attention to money getting is apt to lose the faculty by which he apprehends God and spiritual things. He loses the faculty because he refuses to use it. His ear is dull to the voice of God. His eye is clouded so that he cannot see the beauty of God, and by and by through a process of deterioration death comes and the faculty is lost. Oh, men, do not lose your souls! Keep your ear open to the voice of God. Keep your heart attuned to the will of God; but alas, alas! some before me have almost lost their souls. In seeking a good thing they are giving up the best thing.
Jesus said: "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God," and, "How hardly shall a rich man enter the kingdom of heaven." There are many perils about the gaining of wealth and the using of it. We have all seen the influence of wealth upon character. Too often it makes the humble man proud, the generous man stingy, the charitable man suspicious, and the honest man dishonest. Sometimes the man who makes the money escapes the perils, but succeeding generations are almost inevitably cursed by the wealth which they inherited, The Master knew human nature perfectly, and so He said, "How hardly shall a rich man enter into the kingdom of heaven." There is one way to escape from these perils, and I command it to the rich, to those who would be rich, and to all Christian business men alike. Write the words of my text in the front of your ledgers and on the tablets of your hearts: "Thou shalt remember the Lord thy God, for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth."
Unanswered Prayer.
An unanswered prayer is no proof of an unhearning God. There may be reasons in the great purposes of our heavenly Father why a petition may fail of a direct answer. The creature may err, not understanding the will of God; but the Creator cannot err. As many a child of God has looked back over his life he has seen where the goodness and benign wisdom of God has been manifested in withholding the things asked for. But if the direct answer to the petition has been withheld we believe that in some way there will come a blessing because of it, and that no earnest, faithful prayer is ever lost to the suppliant. "It may not be my way; it may not be thy way; but yet in His own way the answer will come. It may be years in coming; it may be in some wholly unexpected way, through some channel we never dreamed of, and which at the time of the prayer we knew nothing of; but it will come to us with blessing,
Indeed, we in our obtuseness may be living in the very atmosphere of answered prayer and not be aware of it. If the answer does not come in the way we look for it, let us look we see, see the flowers we longed for is now blooming elsewhere, or if our life at some angle does not touch God more intimately than before. We may look for the answer in a tally-ho, but it may come in the form of some poor beggar on the street.—United Presbyterian.
Profitable Things.
The sooner we are impressed that this present life is uncertain and very short, and that the future life is sure and endless, the better it will be for us. Also to learn that material things cannot satisfy the soul, but that a man must be rich toward God before that aching void can ever be filled, and that godliness is profitable unto all things and we may add unto all time.—The Rev. W. F. Bryan, Methodist, Dallas, Texas.

"In 1884 my grandson, a babe, had an attack of eczema, and after trying the doctors to the extent of heavy bills and an increase of the disease and suffering, I recommended Cuticura and in a few weeks the child was well. He is to-day a strong man and absolutely free from the disease. A few years ago I contracted eczema, and became an intense sufferer. A whole winter passed without once having on shoes, nearly from the knees to the toes being covered with virulent sores. I tried many doctors to no purpose. Then I procured the Cuticura Remedies and found immediate improvement and final cure. M. W. LalRue, 845 Seventh St., Louisville, Ky., April 23 and May 14, 1907."

DON'T STARCH TABLE LINEN.
A well known authority says that table linen should never be starched. It is a common mistake that many houskeepers make and nothing so detracts from the appearance and life of handsome linen as starch. "Elbow grease" is all that one needs to make the proper kind of linen stiff. It should be froned damp, to get the fine sheen so characteristic of well laundered linen. If it is froned when it is dry, or nearly so, it gets fuzzy. American Cultivator.

Greater New York.
It is growing more and more apparent that New York is destined to be the greatest city in the world, and we might as well admit it. The only question is now, won't it be a chore for "the greatest city in the world" to stay so? The American climate conduces to sickleness, and inconstancy. Having once reached the goal nobody wants anything more to do with it. Therefore, let Manhattan go a bit slow. It is getting to be "beautiful" in the new sense, and its squalor and "early New York" look are being pushed further and further out of sight. That is a physical point to its credit.—Boston-Herald.

Among the Masons.
Possibly before this reaches many of the brethren in the jurisdiction, our beloved Grand Master will be out of the state on his way to New York, where next Wednesday he will sail for Europe on the big ocean liner, the Murletania. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Butler, and his little son, Henry. They will be gone until about September, when the Grand Master will return in time to take part in the Prince Hall Grand Lodge celebration at Boston, Mass. Before leaving, several of the lodges extended him slight tokens of appreciation in the way of a purse. The Grand Master takes with him the prayers of the entire jurisdiction for a pleasant and enjoyable trip and a safe return/home. During the absence of the Grand Master in foreign climes, the members all over the state should, redouble their energy to improve their respective lodges, and when he returns he will not find us marking time, but marching to the sound of progress and improvement.
The relief department is promptly paying off all claims properly presented. A few claims have been delayed because the brethren have failed to carry out instructions as are given on the claim blank. They must understand that the blanks must be carefully made out before the claims will be recognized.
Within the past two weeks nearly fifteen profanes have applied for membership in the recently organized lodge in this city, Solomon's... Temple. From all reports the timber is excellent for the building.
Internal improvement should be one of the aims of every Master for his lodge. Have the business of your lodge like clock work, and see that the brethren continue to "improve themselves in Masonry."
FAMILY RE-UNION AT MILLEN.
The first re-union of the Bynes family was observed on the 4th of July last after eating a most delicious dinner under the grape arbor which was tastefully prepared at the hands of the parents, the family, listened to speeches and toasts by the various members.
In the regretted absence of the oldest brother, James M., merchant of Chattanooga, Penn., it was the unanimous consent that Simon F., superintendent of Albany District, of Pilgrim Life and Health Insurance Company, fill the position of toast master; The opening speech was delivered by H, Shelley, the wheelwright and Blacksmith, of Gibson. After speaking on the Declaration of Independence, he closed with a tribute of gratitude to the family for the honor of meeting on his birthday.
Second speaker, Simon F., of Albany, rose amidst shouts of applause. In a humourist manner he thanked the family for the honor of being "toast master." He then made an able speech discussing minutely, the early days of the family when all were arbured "the fireside."
Third speech was delivered by John Alexander, instructor of foundry division at Tuskegee Institute, Ala. As he rose to speak the applause was so great that he was compelled to wait till it had partially subsided, then waving his hand smilingly said: "I find myself in the position of the rich man who desired favor of Christ, when told 'One string, thou backest yet.' The occasion being one of speech-making, he looked his vital thing. Very much his healer were accented that he was equal to the occasion. His was the most heart-touching speech, discussing the family's past history, he painted a vivid picture and caused ail, to feel both sad and terror.
Fourth speaker, Charles E. the efficient nurse of Milner, said: "During a recent political campaign one noted man said, that he hoped the supporters of the opposing side were not expecting great things for, in such they would not be disappointed." The same being applicable to him with reference to his speech in beginning he expressed his appreciation for the honor of being apologetic for the other brothers and sisters at Milner, yz; Christie Arthur, Mrs. Mary E. Bradley, Mrs. Grudtrude Murphy and Miss Bulah, After dishealing the Declaration of Independence, he closed with a strong吻 to the family to maintain it reinforced.
At this point the sentiment reached a high pitch, and calls for "Sister Alice" were heard above all. Then Mrs. Alice Monroe of Brunswick, the oldest of the children came forward being compelled to wait a few more minutes till the applause had ceased. With a smile she said, "I had hoped that the family had employed a stenographer to catch the powerful speeches that were delivered by the preceding speakers, but now it is my turn to speak and I am equally as proud that we have learned." (Great laughen! She then expressed thanks to the family for the generous manner in which she was treated. She put additional emphasis on the family reunion. She closed with a thankful embrace to the parents.
Last, Mr. not, least, mine. Mrs. Mlara Hui, Hhanyang, second eldest sister, of Savannah, in response to many others for sister. In a modest yet noble manner, said: "I cannot do justice to myself and the occasion without expressing the deep appreciation and high regard I have for this meeting." As a closing she said: "If we have not accomplished anything in the way of advancing the cause of humanity, it is due to the untiring efforts of our salient parents." A climax was reached when the fr
The following resolutions were adopted. Resolved, that every two (2) years we observe the Fourth of July as re-
the family was graced with the presence of Thomas H., the noted horse shoeing specialist of Bainbridge. When interviewed with reference to the speaking exercises of the fourth he said: "Originally it was not my intention to miss the exercises on yesterday, but the fact that I am not a speaker makes me believe that it was a Providential hinderance, which meant success to the exercises." Later in the day he played an able part in Sunday School at old Needful, the mother church of the community. His ability as Sunday School teacher is unquestioned.
As a closing adieu the family listened to a recital by the youngest of the sisters, Bulah. Other noted members of the family present were: Mrs. Edna, T. Bynes and Mrs. Sarah, J. Bynes.
It was the delight of the family to have the following persons line with them on Sunday evening, before the re-union was broken up: Rev. S. P. Campbell, of, Midville; Mrs. Pearlse Beasly and Mrs. Laura "Pimkins, of

FOLKSTON DOTS.
Folkston, Ga., July 11, 1908.
Editor of Suvannah Tribune:
Dear Sir; Please allow me space
in your notable paper to say a few
words about our picnic that was given
here today.
It was one long to be remembered.
Friday evening's train brought quite
a number of young people from Hilliard, Fla., who met at the Odd Fellows' hall where they enjoyed themselves until a late hour at night. Early Saturday morning people from all points gathered and the baseball game began at 9 o'clock.
Quite a number of white people were present, among whom were W. M. Olliff, attorney-at-law, Dr. D. Williams, Dr. Dalis Williams was umpire for the game. The Hillard nine beat Folkston 3 to 1, after which the table was set. The blessing was asked by S. M. Council. The crowd was invited over to Masonic' hall, where Colonel E. W. Brinkins, attorney-at-law, of Tompkins-Ga. spoke, for the Republican party and to the young people in general.
The hall was crowded. Colonel Brinkins was escorted to the 'stand by T. L. Jones and J. Mathis, and seated between Miss Ella Malone and Mrs. Jennie Balley.
Mr. J. Mathis then introduced Colonel Brinkins to the audience. As soon as Colonel Brinkins arose cheers went up from more than one hundred people. Then the orator shegn speaking.
Colonel Brinkins is the first Negro lawyer to speak in Folkston on any occasion. He made some very timely remarks to the young people as well as the defaulters and non-tax payers. It is supposed that new life will be kindled in the sloathful men of our race and that a number of defaulters will pay up their back taxes and get ready to vote down the disfranchisement bill next October. Colonel Brinkins leaves tonight for his home. The people are expecting to have him come again before the October election.
I am yours respectfully.

PLAYING THE WINNING CARD.
It has been aptly said by some dialectian that
"Do black specs' 'pun de dice,' Wins fur ol' massa an' wins fur me."
As crudue as this couplet may appear to the average mind, it is a fact that he who adopts it as a guide, mostly, if not always, plays the winning card in the game of life. To sit and complain of what is said to be adversity, is a poor remedy in the case, and he who is adicted to the baneful habit, as a player in the great world game, most naturally "craps out."
The eminent and immortal Longfellow expresses the same idea in the following:
"In the world's broad field, of battle, In the bivouac of life, Be not like' dumb, driven cattle, Be a hero in the strife."
If the "black specs" " on the dice win for one man who strives, they will, of a truth, win for the next man if he puts the force and vim in his effort to bring the "winning." For reward is as surely the sequel of labor as rest is of righteousness, and we are taught by the "gentlemen of the cloth," that the latter is as certain as are "death and taxes."
The playing of the winning card must be up to the man, without regard to race, color or creed. Sure it is that there are greater obstacles to surmount upon life's road by some men than by others. Inherent poverty, ignorance and superstitions all tend towards making the way to success seemingly impossible to some men and even races of men. But continual and persistent effort will, ultimately, remove all of these barriers, and rushing on ahead of you, the guardian of the gate of success, will fling wide its portals, that you may enter into the joy and bliss born of honest toll.
Let not the mirage of failure shade to view the sunlight of success. Let not the difficulties that frighten the weak drive you from the plane of persistent effort. For the "wings and the waves are ever on the side of the boldest navigator."
MORE EXPOSITION MONEY.
Government Invests Without Hope of
• Money Return.
The government continues to enlist in the show business with a somewhat running engagement. It has accepted the invitation of Seattle to enter the Alaska-Yukon lists next year so far as $650,000 will carry it. But its attitude toward that enterprise is different from what it was in the Jamestown flasco. Then, it expected to get its money back. Now it is purely a patron and sponsor, to the extent of its investment, and will spend the money in advertising its wealth and power. This will at least provide against disappointments, and avoid pretences. It will also venture a million and a half in the Tokio Exposition three years later, which represents no more than a return of the courtesies that we have received from Japan at all our international events of this character. The participation will not be on the basis of economic values, but of diplomatic obligations, and as such it should and doubtless will receive the general approval, of the people of this country. There is said to be already developed a sharp rivalry for the positions of three commissioners-general, which the enabling act has authorized. One of them is to have a salary of $8,000, to begin at once, and the other two a salary of $2,000 each until the year of the exposition, when it will be raised to $5,000. The latter figure will be the secretary's salary from the start. Of some diplomatic training should be invested with these responsibilities.—Boston Transcript.
Twice Dismembered.
Some years ago, says Representative Champ Clark, he was chatting with a number of senators from the south in the senate cloak room, when Butler of South Carolina, whom Clark then saw for the first time, came in. After introduction to several new senators and representatives Senator Butler exchanged a few remarks with them and then left the room. One of the Mississippi senators turned to Clark, saying: "To look at Butler, you'd never suspect he wore a wooden leg, would you?" "No!" exclaimed Mr. Clark, surprised.
"Fact!" continued the other. "Butler was an officer in the Confederate army, as you know. It was not long before he had a leg shot off. Before leaving hospital he was supplied with an artificial leg. Eventually he again went to the front, and this time a bit of shell blew his artificial member to pieces. Just think, Clark," reflectively added the senator. "If Butler had been a Union officer he would now be drawing a double pension from the government."—Philadelphia Ledger.
Not an Old Hen.
Queen, isn't it, how a hen knows her own chickens? She didn't lay 'em, perhaps; they may be indistinguishable from other chickens of precisely similar breeding; but she will hammer the little yellow nut on one of those others if she mixes in with her worm plonic. Now a mere statesman, raising votes in the summer against election time, will—you see the contrast, brethren? — Boston Globe.

Hamilton Mable so Declares--
Look 7! Obsidence to Parents
One Cause, He Says.
Hamilton Mable was the principal
speaker at the luncheon of the Elmira College Club, which was held at
the Hotel Majestic. His object was
obviously to instruct and advise rather
than to entertain the alumnae, who
sat behind masses of daftodils, pansies and purple hyacinths, severently
drinking in his every word.
He smiled pleasantly at them, but
he didn't mince his words. America,
he told them, was the most lawless
country in the world.
"It has," he said, "fifty times as many slaughterers every year as has any other nation which pretends to be civilized, and the condition of things in Kentucky is absolutely primitive. There are, too, more railroad accidents in the United States than in any other country. Why, it is more 'dangerous to travel from New York to San Francisco than to be on the firing line in a battle. Statistics prove it." This unpleasant state of affairs is, he said, the result of the fact that as a nation we have no respect for law.
The dlyorce court, he continued, was the worst form of lawlessness and had a most deleterious effect upon the training of children. The speaker made a few remarks about the spoiled American child, which caused the mothers present to sit up and take notice, but he admitted that he thought the German and English methods of training were a wee bit severe.
"Children who have not learned obedience," he went on, "go out into the world crippled. The world belongs to the trained men, and the trained nation. Two nations have come strongly to the front in recent years—Germany, which subjects her sons to the severest possible discipline, and Japan, the country in which boys are brought up in the faith that they must think of their Emperor first, their duty to their ancestors second, and themselves last of all. A Japanese General in the late war with Russia said to a small group of men whom he was despatching upon a hopeless mission, 'Children, I congratulate you who are about to have the honor of giving up your lives for the Emperor.'"
This lesson of obedience could, Mr. Mable sald, be taught in the colleges, although the home was the best place for its inculcation. The great mission of the colleges, however, especially the women's colleges, was to keep alive the amenities of life and to promote the study of manners.
"The cultivation of manners is by no means an idleway of killing time," he added; "it is an acknowledgment that we are not mere machines, but immortal souls.
"Nothing would, in my opinion, be more regrettable than for women's colleges to turn out merely skilled workers. I am glad since so many women are obliged to become wage earners that so many occupations are open to them, but I hope the day will never come when the majority of women will, like the majority of men, be obliged to spend eight hours of every day at the grindstone. Life is a bigger thing than work, and nothing is more pliful than to see a man who has acquired a large fortune and safely invested it utterly at a loss how to spend it."
Apparently fearing that his words might be misunderstood he hastily explained that he wasn't knocking the, so-called American "commercialism." He asserted very emphatically that it was all right for a man to make all the money he could so long as he didn't allow the thought of it to possess his soul.
"It is not," he concluded, "the handling of wheat or sugar that makes a man a materialist. It is the habit of his mind." —New York Sun
Stolen Horse Returns.
The strange recovery of a stolen horse by a livery company in Chicago is reported by a newspaper of that city. The horse, attached to a buggy, was hired out to a man who returned to the stable with the plea that while he was in a house, thieves had stolen the horse and buggy and had driven away. There was no clue to the thieves, and after a fruitless search the animal and vehicle were set down as lost. The night watchman was aroused some nights afterwards by a pawing at the stable door. On opening it to investigate he was nearly knocked down by the missig horse, who rushed in and up to his usual hay rack. He had no harness on and was covered with foam. It is conjectured that, being unharnessed to change the rig, he had escaped and had made his way to his owner's stable. His fidelity is a reproach to those who voluntarily wander from God's fold, or yield to the temptations of the enemy of souls.—Christian Herald.
The Templars.
The order was founded in 1118 by Hugues de Payens and Geoffroy de Saint-Aldeman, by permission of Badwin II, King of Jerusalem. The name of the order came from the fact that its members were originally designed to guard the Temple at Jerusalem.
