FARMERS' UNION DENOUNGE Methods Adopted By Night Riders and in; Many Sections Organize Law and Order Leagues to Assist Officers. Monticello, Ga.—The following notice was posted on Glmore Brothers' gin house; "Night Riders' order, Do not gin till cotton sells for 10 cents on penalty of fire, fire! Do you belleve it? You had better." Mr. Glmose says that he will continue to gin as long as he can. A similar notice was found on Jesse Kinard's gin house door, Mr. Kinard lives seven miles west of Monticello. Charlotte, N. C.—News just received from Shelby, N. C. to the effect that J. F. Jenkins, manager of the Southern Cotton Oil Company of that place, had received a letter notifying him that if he continued to gin cotton in the face of the declining market, night riders would burn his gin, caused the greatest excitement here. The case has been turned over to the United States secret service department, and every effort will be made to check what is considered the first outbreak of night riders in this state. The Farmers' union has nothing to do with this apparent effort to defy the law. The letter to Mr. Jenkins warned him not to operate his ginery until 12-cent cotton was scaled; otherwise his establishment "would go up in smoke," it asserted, "we are your friends, etc." Sandersville, Ga.—So far from participating in the night riding lawlessness reported in some sections of the state, and cotton belt, the Farmers' Union of Washington county have organized themselves into a law and order league for the purpose of aiding the officers of the law in prosecuting all forms of criminals and crime. Columbia, S. C.—Governor Ansel has taken prompt and vigorous action on the reported operation of night riders near Greenville. In a letter to Sherif Gilreath of that county, he requests an investigation and wishes prosecution of the guilty parties, Governor Ansel is determined that there shall be no lawless acts, and if necessary he will take personal charge of investigations and see that lawless is promptly suppressed. Winona, Miss.—Bud Mortimer, an aged planter, has been arrested near here, charged with sending night rider notices through the malls. The arrest was made by United States marshals. The notices were sent to a cotton gin owner and Mortimer declares that he was forced to send them by a band of armed men who threatened him with death. Near his home a notice was found posted reading: "Ginning must cease until cotton has reached 12 1-2 cents." "Little Texas Night Riders." New Orleans, La.-Governor E. F. Noel of Mississippi speaking of the possible growth of night riding in the cotton belt, has stated that if necessary he would call on the federal government for troops to stop such raids. He would first use state troops. Mr. Noel said, and finally seek federal aid to restrain lawlessness at any cost. GUN ON WARSHIP EXPLODES Thirteen Men on French Cruiser Killed While at Target Practice. Toulon, France--During gunnery drill one of the big turret gun on the French armored cruiser Latouche Reville exploded with terrific violence, completely wrecking the after turret and killing outright the entire gun crew of thirteen. A number of men were seriously injured, some of them probably fatally. The accident was similar to that aboard the gunnery schoolship Couronne, of Les Salinas d'Hyères. The drill had been proceeding for a considerable time, when, without warning, the whole turret seemed to blow out. Dismembered bodies were thrown in all directions, and several of them were hurled into the sea through the great breach caused by the explosion. The spectacle was horrible, the dead and wounded, together with shattered arms and legs, littering the decks. A call to quarters was sounded, and as speedily as possible the wounded were cared for. The gun that exploded was 7.6 inches bore, of which the cruiser carried two. Happening 60 soon after the accident on the Couronne, this explosion has caused a sensation in naval circles, and doubtless will lead to a most rigid investigation. The Latouche Treville carries a complement of three hundred and seventy men. 4.575.438 BALES OF COTTON. Census Report Gives Total Number of Bales for Year. Washington, D.

Sully, who twice won and lost the crown of "Cotton King", in Wall street, has resigned the presidency of the Cerro-Colorado Mining company and gone to work as a clerk for a cotton brokerage house to give his clients the benefit of his experience. Power generated at Niagara Falls is to be distributed all over Canada. Bids have been asked on 10,000 units of structural steel for the Canadian government. The steel is to be used for towers which will support the cables used in transporting the current. Already power generated at Niagara is being sent a distance of more than one hundred and, twenty-five miles, and it is the intention of the Canadian government to increase this distance. Towns in every direction about Niagara will be supplied. Efforts to obtain information in Georgia to as graves of men who served in the Revolutionary war, or were old enough to have served in it, are being made by Daughters of the American Revolution, in order that a list of them may be published and a personnel record kept of them, and that unmarked graves of Revolutionary soldiers may be provided with marble headstones (which are furnished by the United States government), and proper attention given to the graves when needed. All persons knowing of such graves are requested to communicate with Mrs. John M. Graham, state editor Daughters of the American Revolution, Marietta, Georgia.

The navy department is negotiating with Charles A. Logue of Charlestown, Mass., for the right to use a new torpedo that he has invented. Logue is a third-year student at Boston university. Ever since the invention of the wireless telegraph he has been at work on the torpedo, his idea being to devise one that would be controlled by wireless waves from a wireless station on shore or from a ship. Definite decision of the United States forestry service to establish forest service district quarters in the national forest states has been announced. The forest states will be divided into six districts. The navy department has announced that an invitation has been extended to the Atlantic battleship fleet by the government of the Netherlands to call at Landjong-Priok, Java. Reply has been made declining the invitation owing to the desire to maintain the prearranged itinerary. The cruiser Milwaukee, after a cruise of two months in southern waters and a stay of fifteen days at Amapala, Honduras, has arrived in San Francisco. Captain Rogers stated that everything was quiet at Amapala when he departed.

SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1908. MEN ARE DROWNED TWENTY-SEVEN WERE SAVED The Vessel Struck Rocks Off Coronation Island and Was Dashed to Pieces. Carried Cargo of Salmon. Seattle, Wash.—Advices received from Alaska, by the United States signal corps, say that one hundred and ten men, including nine whites, were drowned in the wreck of the American bark Star of Bengal, on Coronation Island, west of the Prince of Wales archipelago. Twenty-seven of the vessel's crew and passengers were saved. The Star of Bengal belonged to the Alaska Packers' association, and was on her way from Fort Wrangel to San Francisco with a cargo of 45,000 cases of salmon. In addition to her crew, she carried one hundred Chinese and Japanese who were employed in the canneries of the company, taken aboard at Fort Wrangel. The Star of Bengal was being towed to sea by two tugs and was blown ashore on the west shore of Coronation island. The tugs were obliged to abandon her in order to save themselves. 4,000 PERSONS HOMELESS. Two Wisconsin Towns Destroyed by New Forest Fires. Rhinelander, Wils—The towns of Gagen and Woodboro are totally destroyed, their populations, consisting of 4,000 men, women and children, are homeless and the refugees are joining with able-bodied residents of Rhinelander in fighting a new forest fire which threatens every minute to bear down upon the town and consume it. Men and women fought the blaze for hours, but despite the aid of a favorable change of the wind, little progress was made. Citizens of the town, terrified by the fierce menace, have decided to ask Davidson to call out the Wisconsin state troops to aid in saving the town. The fire is a fresh one and is not a continuation of the forest fires which last week did so much damage. The forests are like tinder, owing to the continued droughts, and the flames threaten to consume them entirely. Fearing the fate that befall. Gagen and Woodboro, the mayor of Rhinelander requested Milwaukee to send a fire engine to protect the city, and an engine, half a mile of hose and a truck soon were on the way on a special train. The fire started in the woods in the early morning and quickly reached Gagen and Woodboro. Men, women and children fought vailantly to save their homes, but without avail. WANT BLACK DOLLS. Negro Baptists Want Factory Which Will Turn Out Negro Dolls. Lexington, Ky.-At$^2$ the meeting of the colored National Baptist association, composed of negro leaders from all parts of the world, in session here, the following resolution was passed: Whereas, our people for nearly half a century, because of the uncomely and deformed features of negro dolls, have spent thousands of dollars on white dolls for Christmas, etc.; therefore, be it Resolved. That we do here and now give our indorsement and hearty approval of the negro doll factory, and not only urge the patronage of the people of our churches as Baptists, but of the race at large throughout the United States." EXAMINE THE CHILDREN. Incorrigibles May Be Afflicted With Threat Troubles. New York City.—When a child is incorrigible don't send him to the disciplinary school offhand. Have his throat examined by a health department physician. You will find that in many instances his incorrigibility and truancy can be traced to Adenoid growths in the throat. That is what the superintendents of schools, Dr. W. H. Maxwell, told a hundred principals who went to the Dewitt Clinton high school for a heart to heart talk about intimate school matters. Dr. Maxwell said: "No pupil should till he has been tried out in two be sent to the school for discipline unschools and then I want such a one examined by the health department physicians before he is sent. MADMAN KILLS TWO. Growing Suddenly Violent, Maniac Murders Man and Woman. Washington D.C. C.-In demoniacal fury, Andrew Lightfoot, a malattio inmate at the St. Elizabeth asylum for the insane, killed Patrick Maloney and Millie Follin, an inmate of the asylum, and severely injured Miss Robinson, another inmate. The murderer escaped, from the grounds and fled to the swamps near by. He was finally caught, after the police found, it necessary to shoot him, inflicting wounds in the leg. Lightfoot was forty years old, and has been a patient, at the hospital for eight years, and was regarded 'as of a harmless nature. CONVICT LEASING ENDS. Georgia Legislature Passes Bill Pratically Forbidding Leasing. Atlanta, Ga.—The general assembly of Georgia passed the new convict bill which takes the state's criminals from the hands of private lessees next March and puts them upon the public roads of the counties, where they will work under the supervision of the state. Governor Hoke Smith has approved the new bill whereupon it became the organic law, and, unless future legislatures change it, the selling of convicts will be forever wiped from the statute books of Georgia. One section of the new law provides that after all the counties have been supplied, without cost, with all the convicts they desire for working roads and other public improvements, and all the cities supplied with what number they want at $100 each per year, and all the state institutions, state farm or farms are filled with them, then if any felony convicts remain undisposed of the governor and the prison commission may dispose of them so they think the best interest of the state demands, for a period not of exceed twelve months from March 21, 1909. As this section applies solely to felony convicts, the counties being compelled to take all of their misdemeanor convicts, it is the opinion of Governor Smith and the leaders in the antilease movement that no convicts will remain on hand to be disposed of under this section. The state averages only 2,100 felony convicts, and this number will be absorbed, it is believed, by the several plans provided in the bill. In passing this bill the legislature accomplished the work for which it had been called in extra session and after having struggled four weeks in one of the bifurcatedights the state has ever known, the assembly adjourned sine die. FIRE CAUSES GREAT LOSS. Paris, France, Postoffice and Central Telephone Station Destroyed. Paris, France.—Fire broke out in the Central telephone building and spread with such rapidity that the telephone employees were forced, after brief and ineffectual efforts, to exinguish the flames, to fly hastily to the streets. The entire building was soon in flames and this, together with the postoffice, which is located close to the Place des Victoires, was totally destroyed. The loss is estimated at $45,000,000, but a much greater loss is likely to be involved through the complete interruption of telephone communication. It will take more than a month to re-establish the service, and even a temporary installation will require a considerable length of time. The origin of the fire is believed to have been due to a short circuit. It is asserted also that it may have been of incendiary origin, but nothing as yet has been found to prove this. Telephone employees, when they first discovered the flames, tried to extinguish them, but were forced to desist on account of the volumes of black smoke and the pungent fumes from the burning gutta percha. In a short time the flames enwrapped the entire five stories and were bursting through the room, leaping skeward like a blast furnace. SHOT FOURTEEN TIMES. Woman Stood By Husband and With Him Was Killed. West Plains, Mo.—John Roberts and his wife resisted a sheriff and several deputies, in a desperate fight near Prestonia, when the officers attempted to arrest Roberts for killing Obe Kessinger. As a result the woman and Sheriff Mooney are mortally wounded, and Roberts and two deputies are seriously hurt. Sheriff Mooney was shot by the woman, it is said, Roberts and his wife defended the building for hours under fire. When the door was broken down, Mrs. Roberts, suffering from fourteen wounds, was found dying. Macholsts' Strike Off. Birmingham, Ala.—A telegram received here calls off the machinists' strike on the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which has been on since May 29, 1907. The men are allowed to return to work if they can get the work. The telegram came from the headquarters in Washington and is said to affect the entire system. Lights for Baby Carriages Chicago, Ill.-Judge Cleland of the municipal court has decided that baby carriages must have headlights if used on the streets at night. He said: "When a mother wheels her infant out at night without a light on the baby carriage, she may go to the Bridewell for twenty days." Noted Cartoonist Dead Philadelphia, Pa.-F. M. Howarth, one of the best known comic artists in the country, died at his home in Germantown, aged 43 years. Death was caused by pneumonia. He is credited with having originated the comic series. Two of his best known series were "E. Z. Mark" and "Lulu and Leander." Mrs. Gould Asks Allmoy. New York City.-Mrs. Katherine Gould, who is suing Howard Gould for divorce, has applied to Justice Glegerich for an order compelling Mr. Gould to pay her $10,000 a year allmony and $15,000 for her counsel fees, ```markdown ``` SOUTH'S COTTON MILLS Show Great Increase in Amount of Raw Material Handled. IRON INDUSTRY IS GROWING Baltimore, Md.—The trend of the iron and steel industry of the south is emphasized in a dispatch to the Manufacturers' Record announcing extensive improvements at the Enesley plant of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, upon which work will begin at an early date. This announcement of large improvements to be made by the Tennessee company, carrying out the broad plan of development work which has been undertaken since that company was purchased by the United States Steel Corporation, indicates the spirit in which the latter is carrying on its expansion of the iron and steel industry in the Alabama district. It has already expended several million dollars there and doubtless will continue to spend a good many more millions. Another interesting development in the Alabama field is the blowing in of one of the Anniston furnaces of the Woodstock company. Indications of the southward trend of the American textile industry is had in the fact that during the year just closed southern cotton mills have for the third time in the past ten years taken more bales of American cotton than the mills in the rest of the country. The advantage of the southern mills was gained first in 1903 which year, by the way, marked the passing of the 2,000,000-bale mark by southern mills, their million-bale record having been established in 1897. In 1903 the southern mills were again ahead of the mills in the rest of the country, and in the year just closed they took 2,193,277 bales, against 1,896,661 bales taken by mills in the rest of the country, or more than 53 per cent of the total number of bales of American cotton taken by American mills. The past year was one of unfavorable conditions for the mills, but it is interesting to note that, in spite of that fact, they maintained the general tendency which should ultimately make the solut as dominating in cotton manufacturing as it is in cotton growing. Victims of Cholera Are Lying Unburied at St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg, Russia—Owing to the appalling proportions assumed by the cholera epidemic, St. Petersburg is fast being turned into a city of the dead. The cholera dead are being interred at Preobrazhemskoe, which is about an hour's distance on the railroad from St. Petersburg. A train of several coaches, carrying the mourners, and a dozen freight cars with the dead in rude coffins, goes daily to this place. The scenes are heartrending in and about the chapel where service is conducted uninterrupted night and day. The coffins are of rude workmanship; they are made of spruce, and thickly coated with tar. The identification numbers of the patients are marked with white paint. The scarcity of grave diggers has caused a painful delay in the past few days, one hundred and fifty coffins containing bodies now being stored in the adjoining woodshed. Some of the mourners have been waiting their turn for several days. Up to date the municipal hospitals reported for the preceding twenty-four hours two hundred and forty-seven cholera cases and one hundred- and seventy-six-deaths. There is a total of 1,557 patients in the various hospitals. Wilbur Wright Stayed in the Air Over Ninety Minutes. Lemans, France.—In the presence of the officials of the French Aero Club of Sarthe and a wildly cheering crowd numbering 10,000, Wilbur Wright, the American aeronaut, captured the world's record from his brother, Orville Wright, with a flight in his powerful machine of one hour, thirty-one minutes and fifty-one seconds, covering in that time an actual distance of 98 kilometres, or nearly sixty-one miles. Owing to the recent accident at Fort Myer, the trial for the Michelin cup, for the greatest distance covered by an aeroplane, in 1908, and the aeroclub prize of $1,000 for the longest flight over an enclosed ground, attracted intense interest. Detailing Situation to Enter Steal. Charlotte, N. C. A daring scheme to rob the Waychovia Loan and Trust company, of Spencer of $5,000 on the night of October 9th has been frustrated and George Murphy, arrested and lodged in jail. Murphy had confided his plans for looting the bank to Mr. Woodward, who informed the police. Woodward then made appointment with Murphy to meet and discuss'plans of the robbery. Immense Improvements in Alabama. Ultimate Domination of Cotton Crop Utilization Predicted. GRAVE, DIGGERS NEEDED. RECORD AGAIN BROKEN PLANNED TO LOOT BANK. Alleged Conspirator Is Arrested While Detailing Scheme to Effect Steel Officials, of the bank concealed themselves in the warehouse and heard Murphy elaborate on plans for securing explosives. His arrest followed. THROUGHOUT THE STATE. Andrew Thomason, a farmer, 50 years of age, of Newton district, seven miles south of Alpharetta, hanged himself to the rafters in a cotton gin. Mr. Thomason is survived by a wife and seven children. Mr. Thomason had always been regarded as an industrious farmer of good habits, but lately he had been ill and except for this no reason is known for the act. The registration books, which have closed for the fall election, show that there are 3,565 voters registered in Oglethorpe county. Of that number all are white but two hundred and fifty. The indications are that there will be a big vote polled in that county at the state election on November 6. The registration is about the same as last year. Rewards have been offered by Governor Smith for the capture and conviction of Corn and John Miller, who are charged with having murdered W. E. Keaton on August 25. It is claimed the Miller brothers entered the field where Keaton was at work and deliberately shot him down. There is $125 offered in each case. Other rewards have been offered for the capture and conviction of Ben Whitehead and Arlington Lewis, who are wanted for murder in Lee county. It is announced that Chatham county will be ready to take its full quota of felony convicts next spring, when the time_comes to apportion them to the different counties throughout the state. When Governor Smith inquired some weeks ago how many, convicts of this kind Chatham could work he was told that fifty would be take. If the county is to get one hundred, however, that many will be employed. The 4-year-old son of Mr. William Wilkins, while playing in a pile of cotton on the farm of Mr. A. J. Nully, near Pine Log, was smothered to death. It appears that he had dug a deep hole in the cotton and had fallen into it head first. He had been dead some time when found. A meeting of the Farmers' union of Spalding county was held at the court house in Griffin at which strong resolutions were passed condemning the action of the night riders in Lawrenceville, Ga., and other places. J. T. Biles is president of the Spalding union, T. P. Nichols is vice president and R. H. E. Ellis secretary and treasurer, and they all signed the resolutions adopted. At a meeting of the citizens of Buena Vista $50,000 was raised to build a railroad from that city to. Mauks, the additional capital, $100,000, to be furnished by out of town capitalists. Mauks is a thriving-little town on the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad about fifteen miles from Talbotton and about thirty-five miles from Montezuma. The road will be about seventeen or eighteen miles long. A surveying corps has been ordered to begin work at once. A list* of the presidential electors representing the national prohibition party in the state of Georgia has been filed with the state department by W. S. Witham, state chairman. They are: At large, W. S. Witham, Atlanta, and N. L. Stannil, Hahlra; first district, Joseph N. Gary, Swalinsboro; second district, Dr. L. B. Bouchere, Thomasville; third district, Judson Cheves, Montezuma; fourth district, Leon Smith, LaGrange; fifth district, Dr. J. L. D. Hilyer, Decatur; sixth district, W. W. Milam, Stockbridge; seventh district, G. W. Fleetwood; Rome; eighth district, O. L. Teasley, Bowman; tenth district, W. J. Wren, Wrens; eleventh district, Herbert Murphy, Waynesboro. It is reported that Governor Smith is looking for farm lands in various parts of the state for the purpose of securing sites for new stockades and prison farms authorized under the convict bill which has just passed. The governor has begun his investigation at this time in order that the convicts may be put to work making crops immediately after they are released by private lessees at the termination of the present leases on March 31, 1909. They will then be able to make a crop next year. Of course the buildings and quarters for the men must be erected in the meantime. Andrew Guyton, who for the past twenty-two years has been in the penitentiary of Georgia serving a life sentence for murder committed in Decatur county, has been pardoned by Governor Smith. The prison commission has received notice that M. C. Clelehan, a convict employee at the Ashley-Price-Lumber company in Coffee county, deliberately put his hand upon a circular saw and cut off four fingers. He had been employed, at the rather light work of firing a boiler, and had left his post and gone to the saw to deliberately cripple himself in order to get out of work. Ginners in Gwinnett county met at Lawrenceville. Only two gins in the county reported that they had received notices, not to gin the new crop of cotton. All the other gins are running. Sugar Hill Farmers' union passed resolutions denouncing the threats to burn and calling all the unions to join them. Following announcements sometime ago that Dougherty county's tax returns had increased $353,000 over those of the preceding year comes the announcement now that the returns of property by city taxpayers show an increase over 1907 of $443,166. There are seven hundred and seven names on the revised jury list in *Oglethorpe*. This is the largest list ever, an in Oglethorpe county jury box. P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President.

Manchester, England.—All hope of avoiding a paralyzing strike of the cotton industry and allied trades was abandoned when four hundred cotton mills did not open. The shut-down came as a result of the rejection by 130,000 cotton mill employees of the operators' proposal of a 5 per cent cut in wages. It is estimated the total number to be thrown out of employment as a result of the strike will reach 1,200,000. What makes the season of real enjoyment is it isn't opera. An arm sprained in loving is soon able to be around. DRY AND STEAM CLEANING. LADIES' WORK A SPECIALTY. HATS CLEANED AND REBLOCKED BELL PHONE 2050. JEFFERSON AND BERRIEN STS. SAVANNAH, GA.

The following narrative recounts a stirring experience of Joseph Belmont, a young Englishman of science. The story is given practically in his own words: In the latter part of 1889 I was employed in Ecuador by one of the English universities to estimate altitudes and measure distances among the higher peaks of the Andes, and to collect information about the country and its people. During December I camped for some time with a single guide on the slopes of Chimborazo, about 1000 feet below the snow line. ney had been hard by day. Now, when the thin, shifting moonlight rendered it difficult to calculate distance, and black chasms of shadow flung themselves athwart the path, the idea was not to be entertained for an instant. Food, warmth, shelter lay before us; to retreat meant to perish of cold and hunger and fatigue. For several minutes we stood in silence, gazing out upon the slope. "Shall we try it?" said I at last to my guide. My companion was called Manuel; he had no surname that I could discover. He was a full-blooded Indian who had been recommended to me by a Spanish official. I found him silent and stolid, but thoroughly trustworthy. Much of our time was spent in making our way along the summit of sharp ridges that fell off abruptly on either side, in creeping cautiously up steep slopes of rolling stones, and in scaling sheer precipices, exposed to the cruel winds that haunt those high altitudes. One morning we left our camp at early dawn, and, did not turn back until late in the evening. Our labors that day were more than usually arduous, and the thinness of the air caused us much suffering. With panting breaths we had crept along knife-like edges until late in the afternoon. The sun was setting, and we were two miles from camp. For some time we proceeded very slowly. The light disappeared from the west, the stars came out and the moon bathed the mountainside in a pale bluish radiance. Manuel, who was going ahead, came to a sudden stop. Right across our path lay a slope of rocks about 300 feet wide. It was a declivity innocent enough to look upon, a smooth slant at an angle of about forty degrees, but at the lower edge it stopped as clean and square as if it had been cut off with a knife. We were about three-quarters of the way down. Five hundred feet above us the slope started at the foot of an unscalable cliff; 200 feet below it stopped. I give these figures as approximate merely, for in the moonlight it was difficult to judge accurately of distance. Beyond the slope lay our camp, and in some way we must get across, but we knew that if once those rocks were started rolling, we should be swept over the precipice in the avalanche. The passage would have been a very easy matter had there been any ice upon the incline to cement the pieces together. But so far as we could see there was not a particle, nor was it difficult to understand why this was so. The slope faced the northeast, and all day long the hot equatorial sun lay upon it, preventing any moisture from gathering. One way or the other we must go. We could not stand long inactive without becoming so chilled that we could not go either forward or back. Which course should we take? The answer was plain. To retrace our way was impossible.

W TOLMAN. ney had been hard by day. Now, when the thin, shifting moonlight rendered it difficult to calculate distance, and black chasms of shadow flung themselves athwart the path, the idea was not to be entertained for an instant. Food, warmth, shelter lay before us; to retreat meant to perish of cold and hunger and fatigue. For several minutes we stood in silence, gazing out upon the slope. "Shall we try it?" said I at last to my guide. It was the first time in our acquaintance of two months that I had ever seen him show hesitation; generally he was prompt in his decisions. But this time he realized the danger better than I did, and before replying he stooped, picked up a bit of rock, and fung it out into the middle of the declivity. It started a miniature avalanche, which swept rapidly down and disappeared over the edge of the preclice. The most terrifying thing about it was that after the rocks fell we could hear no sound for several seconds, and then only a faint rumble thousands of feet below. It was a warning of the fate that a mis-step might bring upon us. But nothing was to be gained by delay, and at last we decided to attempt the passage. The one thing that gave us hope of getting over in safety was the appearance here and there of a boulder, apparently projecting from the solid ledge beneath, rearing its head above the surrounding debris like a little island. Manuel went first, putting his feet down very carefully, one after the other. I followed, stepping exactly in his tracks. Once started, there was no turning back. I did not fully realize the treacherous nature of that rocky slope until we were upon it. We were fifteen minutes traversing a space of fifty feet. The farther we got out the sorrier I grew that we had come. The whole slide was bound, together as a single mass. The displacement of one bit of rock imparted an impulse to the THE ART ing ough one of the has ever any age is mani discover tinued useless to s have been disse THE ART OF PAPER-MAKING ought to be regarded as one of the most useful which has ever been invented in any age or country; for it is manifest that every other discovery must have continued useless to society if it could not have been disseminated by manuscripts or by printing. —MATTHIAS KOOPS next below, and took away its support from the next above. A single false step, a slip on the part of either, would involve both in a fearful catastrophe. We did not say a word to each other. All our energies were needed for crossing the slope. The fatiguing nature of that cautious tread I cannot tell you. Every muscle was tense to rigidity, every nerve keyed high; our eyes were strained to detect the smallest motion, and our ears were alert to catch the slightest sound. Seventy-five feet out we reached a boulder that rose above the shingle. It barely afforded footing for us both. We did not dare to remain long upon it, for the temperature was far below the freezing point, and we were stiff with cold. After a few minutes Manuel made a sign and once more we took up our perilous journey. We had gone about fifteen feet, when my guide, who was two yards in advance, gave a sharp exclamation. There was a harsh rattling sound. "Run, senor, run!" Manuel shouted, and his great leaps set me the example. He must have stepped on what was the keystone of the entire mass, so set that its slightest movement would affect the whole. As I ran I cast one hasty glance upward. I verily believe that every piece of rock from top to bottom was in-motion at once. The whole mountainside seemed to be crawling toward us. First there came the faint rolling and clinking of scattered pebbles, then a loud rattle, swelling into the roar of an avalanche, as rock after rock added itself to the sliding mass. One instant the declivity lay silent and motionless in the moonlight; the next it was all alive, slipping, grinding, roaring, with the sound of a stone crusher in full action. It was useless to think of gaining the ledge at which we had aimed. Twenty-five feet below it was another, not quite so high, but longer and narrower, and toward this we bent our course in flying leaps. There was no chance to pick the best spot for holding on. We threw ourselves down upon the ledge on our faces, fortunately clutching a shoulder. Had we gained the boulder above, at which we had aimed, we should have been swept away by the flood that poured over it. As it was it broke the force of the slide and kept the great mass of rock away from us. Our situation was still perilous in the extreme. The ledge which afforded us refuge rose only a few inches above the surrounding debris. Had the stones confined themselves to rolling it would have been bad enough. But the smaller ones, deflected and shot high into the air by passing over the ledge above, rained down upon us like the spray of a rocky waterfall. It was fortunate that our eyes and teeth escaped, for, as we lay, we were obliged to face the avalanche. Of course we could not shelter our faces with our hands, for we needed every finger to hold on with. So we ducked our heads as low as possible, and the missiles beat a tattoo upon our skulls until our hair was matted with blood. Had the stones been any larger we should have been battered into insensibility and quickly hurled over the precipice. Once I was in deadly peril. A rock, larger than the rest, struck my fingers, numbing them and causing me to relax my hold. My grasp was torn away, and for the fraction of a terrible second I was at the mercy of the torrent. Then my guide, at the risk of his own life, let go the ledge with one hand and clutched my shoulder. Again I regained my place and clung with redoubled strength. The force of the slide abated. The dust cleared. Lastly a few scattered rocks dashed down over the denuded surface. At one instant a stony Niagara seemed to be roaring around us; then we heard the distant rumble of its fall die away in the depths of the ravine. The next moment there was utter stillness, as sudden as if a great door, padded and muffled, had shut out the sound. Only the snow-crowned peak, high above us, gave back the pale light of the moon. Then we saw the reason why the mass had slid so smoothly and rapidly. The slope was practically a plane inclined at a sharp angle, broken, to be sure, by a few projecting ledges, but in the main free from obstructions. How long it had been collecting its load we could only conjecture. As the cliff above disintegrated under the action of frost and rain and ice, small pieces fell from it one by one, until the whole slant became charged with fragments ready to be set in motion by the least impulse. Possibly the next falling rock of any considerable size might have had the same order that our steps had had. There was every reason for thinking that the thing had happened many times, although I very much doubt if human feet had ever before been the agency to set the mass in motion. Manuel had suffered worse than I, for he had occupied a more exposed position. When I looked at his face, in the moonlight I could not repress an exclamation of horror. He was fearfully cut and bruised, having a ragged gash on his right cheek and another above his eye. I was apparently in little better plight, but later, after the dirt and blood had been washed off, my injuries turned out to be not severe. Our clothing hung in tatters about the upper portion of our bodies, which were black and blue from the bombardment we had received. Now that the rocks were gone the remainder of the slope gave us no more trouble. An hour later we were warming ourselves by the spirit lamp in our tent, and the aroma of boiling coffee was very grateful to our nostrils. We spent the next day in resting and attending to our injuries and repairing the damage to our clothing. It was a full week before we wholly recovered from the results of our adventure.—Youth's Companion. It has been recommended that new courses for the study of electricity be established at the Naval Academy at Annapolis. It has been found that electrical currents will soften concrete. This is of importance in the wrecking of old foundations. At the bottom of the sea there are in all 250,000 miles of cable, representing $250,000,000. The average life of the cable is forty years. A new process for hardening steel has been discovered. The temper is increased by electricity and the new process is said to be superior to any other. Ancient philosophers suspected, and modern scientists have practically proved that the ocean is the great original storehouse of organic life, and that the ancestors of all that lives and moves upon the land and in the air at one time dwelt in and drew their nourishment from the waters of the deep. A great development in the use and manufacture of aluminium in England is being looked for, and the company which has a monopoly of the business is planning for a great enlargement in 1908. The price of the metal was reduced last October to $500 a ton, and this has led to a demand for it in new fields, notably by telegraph and telephone companies. Aluminum, it may be noted, is used in the new explosive "ammonal," of which much is expected because it does not, like lyddite, detonate on contact, but will penetrate armor or earthworks before exploding. 1 In a study, which purports to be entirely scientific, of the alleged connection between the physical and mental character of an individual and his handwriting, Mons. Solange Pellat, an expert attached to the Tribunal of the Seine, Paris, maintains that distinct relations exist between the handwriting and the voice. An expert, he declares, can determine from the handwriting whether the writer's voice is high or low in pitch, sonorous or velled, harsh or soft and agreeable. But he remarks that in all cases where it is sought to determine character from handwriting, great pains should be taken to choose for examination only writing that has been done under normal conditions. Among the industries that have been profoundly modified by the advent of electricity into daily use is that of making porcelain. Formerly artistic considerations alone governed the various operations of the workmen in porcelain, but now, since this substance is employed for insulators in all electric installations, scientific processes have been introduced in its manufacture which demand a great deal of special attention. The exact amount of contraction that the clay undergoes, the exact temperature to which it is submitted in the process of baking, the constant employment of instruments for measuring the temperature and for determining the size of certain pieces — such are among the essentials in the modern art of porcelain making for electric purposes.

THE LADY'S DRESS New York City.—Long sleeves unquestionably make one of the latest decrees of fashion and are to be 1 noted on a great many of the newer blouses. This one can be made with 10 the deep cuffs or those in shirt waist style and is well adapted to all seasonable materials. In the illustration white lawn is finished with simple embroidery between the groups of tucks, but in addition to the pretty washable waistings those of silk and wool are appropriate, and, with late summer outings in prospect, blouses made from pongee and wash flannels are certain to be in demand. This blouse has the merit of closing at the left of the front, and is altogether attractive both for the separate waist and for the gown. The waist is made with a fitted lining which can be used or not as occasion requires, consists of the fronts and back. The fronts are laid in groups of narrow tucks with wide ones between, while the back is laid in wide tucks that give a tapering effect to the figure. The sleeves are moderately full and are gathered at their lower edges whether the deep cuffs or the narrower ones are used. There is a neckband finishing the neck and over it is worn a high rollover collar. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four and seven-eighth yards twenty-one or twenty-four, three and one-half yards thirty-two or two and five-eighth yards forty-four inches wide. Modish Girdles. Wide girdles are to be shunned by full waisted women, but they are very attractive upon slim ones. They seem to supply the missing note to the empire, the directoire and the princess modes. The wider the girdle the better. Use of Tunics. It is seldom that the tunics are used upon the short skirts, but most of the new long skirts are made up in tunic design with the long tunic lines making a handsome finish at each side. The Grecian effects are sought with the tunic much higher at the left side than at the right. Fifteen Gored Skirt. The many gored skirt, that gives long lines and the effect of slenderness, is the one, greatly in demand just now, and which promises to increase in favor. This one is trimmed in a novel fashion and made with a pleated front gore which relieves the severity and allows effective use of trimming. In the illustration the material is Copenhagen blue pongee with bands of black and white silk used as trimming, but braid could be substituted for this last and the skirt is appropriate for almost every skirling material. It can be made from the thinner, lighter ones and from the washable materials of the present, while it also will be found admirable for the advance models of the coming season. The skirt is made in fifteen gores. The one at the centre front and the one at each side thereof are pleated, but the remaining gores are plain. The closing can be made invisibly at the back or at the left of the front as 10 liked. The circular folds are arranged over the plain gores and pre- ```markdown ``` tily shaped trimming straps finish their front edges. The quantity of material required for the medium size is twelve yards of material twenty-one or twenty-four, nine yards thirty-two or six and three-quarter yards thirty-six inches wide if material has figure or nap; eleven yards twenty-one or twenty-four, seven and a half yards thirty-two or five and three-quarter yards forty-four inches wide if material has neither figure nor nap, one yard of silk or seven and one-half yards of braid for bands. True art is to conceal art.—Latin. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: JAMES S. SHERMAN, OF NEW YORK. Capt. Lyens' Appeal. The deadly blow that will be dealt the colored men of Georgia should the proposed amendment to the Constitution be enacted into the organic law at the State election to be held on the seventh of next month warrants unusual methods and activity in appraising the people of their obligation and duty. Hence I wish to request that from now until the election you emphasize through your columns the importance of every minister from his pulpit at every service calling upon the people to vote in the State election to preserve to themselves the franchise and to their unborn descendants. Again they should be warned how to vote against the amendment, so that not a single ballot will be lost. If the ministers of the State will interest themselves in this way, they can in ten days reach practically every qualified colored voter in Georgia, and may be this unrepublican and unconstitutional addition to the constitution will be overwhelmed—will be defeated at the polls. TAFT and victory! The Republican party and civil rights. This is the platform of loyal colored voters. THE National Baptist Convention endorsed the idea of having colored dolls for colored children. That is correct. Let us worship at our own shrine. EVERY friend of Senator Foraker regrets the serious charge presented by Editor Hearst. It is hoped that the senator will be able to refute the charge. It is also charged that the treasurer of the National Democratic Committee smells loud of Standard oil. Will this cause Mr. Bryan and his admirers to hold their nose? It is stated that the burden of Congressman Edward's speech at the Democratic rally last week was the ousting of colored office holders. A congressman" at least should be a statesman. We are puzzled to note how men of Dr. DuBoise's standing can allign themselves with the Democratic party, a party that has done so much to nullify our civil rights and curtailing our personal privileges. THE TRIBUNE feels ashame for the small number of registered voters in this county, a paltry 816. As a race this is a reflection on us. All honor to the loyal 816. May they live long, may their posterity grow up prosperous and ever bless them for their race loyalty. All of our colleges are about reopening for the Fall term. In them are entered young men and women upon whom the future of the race depend. May they instill that spirit that will reflect creditably. It is said that a few colored men in this county have announced their intention of voting the Democratic ticket. That is their right which no one can take away, but if they have the least taint of race pride we do not see how they can kiss the hands that smite them. For instance we are now in the throes of an election which is to decide the right of the colored men voting in this state. This disfranchisement bill is the handiwork of the party that the above colored men declare that they will support Where is their sense of honor? Not only has this same party disfran chised our people in other states but this party is the one that fathers restrictive acts against us. Support them? No! Stick to the party of freedom. NEXT week the public schools will reopen. Everything points to a full attendance and as usualhundreds of children will be turned away for want of accommodation. The condition in that respect is appalling and it should put us all to thinking and action. If we do not to something for ourselves, it is assured that no one else will. Let us therefore act for the good of our children. In the "over home" state, a white preacher was accused of writing a letter to a respectable colored girl. The girl, true to her instinct, resented the familiarity of the white preacher and turned the letter over to a white paper for publication. The parson in rage sued the paper which resulted in a verdict in favor of the paper, and it is stated that at the trial evidence was presented showing that the minister was not what he should be. WEDNESDAY October seventh will be the day to decide whether our people in this state will be abridged of their voting rights. Since this uncalled for bill was presented in the legislature THE TRIBUNE has consistently fought it and will continue until the polls close on election day. Every voter having the cause at heart should be out on that day and endcavor to induce some white friends to vote against disfranchisement. Let us use all honorable means in voting down this enactment. LAST week we inserted a clipping from the New York Independent about the Niagara movement. The Independent comes back at them with the followings "We printed last week a note about the meeting of the members of the Niagara Movement at Oberlin, in which resolutions were adopted against Mr. Taft; but our information was imperfect, according to our Oberlin correspondant, Mr. A. B. Allen. He says that of the membership reported at 459 only 19 were present and that the resolution committing the organization against Taft was debated four hours and adopted by the historical division of eight to seven. Our informant adds that as far as he is aware not a colored man in Oberlin will follow the Niagara advice." Some weeks ago the papers heralded throughout the country that two colored men assaulted a white woman near Montgomery, Ala. The men were arrested and came near being lynched. From the following dispatch the innocence of the men was since established and the cause of the groundless charge shown: "Mrs. Harry Calhoun, who is held here with her husband for highway robbery, admitted that the accusation of criminal assault against two Negroes is groundless. The Negroes charge Calhoun with robbing them; Calhoun charged the Negroes with assaulting his wife, and for a time their lives were in dang.er. "Mrs. Calhoun says her home is in Butler, Ga, and since she married Calhoun, two years ago, she has passed a life. The have been in New Orleans, Mobile and Pensacola. She is a young woman and her case has excited the interest of charitable persons. "Calhoun will be prosecuted for highway robbery, which is a capital offense." Were it not for better judgment the two colored men ere this would have been hurled into eternity innocent men, all because of the criminality of the white woman and her husband. Similar cases of innocence have been proven after men were lynched. For instance, the woman who caused the Springfield riot has since declared that she was mistaken about the charge made against the colored man. She was the direct cause of the loss of many lives, injuring of others, destroying of property and the breaking up of the homes of hundreds of our people. All of these things go to prove our contention against lynch law. A legal trial should be given every person accused of crime. The Republicans Active. At the adjourned meeting held last Monday by the subcommittee appointed by the Republican Convention of the First Congressional District of Georgia, for the purpose of nominating an Elector and Congressman for the aforesaid district, the following resolutions were adopted, being presented by Capt. W. D. Armstrong: Whereas, It has come to the attention of this committee that one J. M. Elders, postmaster at Hagan, Ga., has announced himself as a Republican candidate for Congress, and Whereas, This committee has not up to the present date named a candidate for Congress for this district, therefore be it Resolved, That the voters of the First Congressional District of Georgia be informed that the said, J. M. Elders is not, the Republican candidate for Congress; but this committee will meet for the purpose of nominating a Congressman on Oct. 12, 1908. Resolved, 'That we deem it wise that the Republicans of this district devote their every effort towards the defeat of the disfranchisement bill and the election of William H. Taft as President of the United States. The Committee unanimously elected Capt. Henry Blun, Sr., as the Elector for the First Congressional District of Georgia. Each member of the committee is urged to be present at the meeting Oct. 12. School and Home Education. St, Benedict's Rectory, 518 Gordon street, east, Savannah, Ga. To the Editor of THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE: Dear Shr: In the last issue of your valuable paper you have warmly recommended St. Benedict's Parochial School to the colored people of our city. By doing so you have rendered a good service to the great cause of education. St. Benedict's school indeed gives to the colored children, with a solid elementary training, the priceless gift of education. Our people are too much inclined to put mere instructions and true education on the same footing. Whereas in reality there is an immense difference beween the two terms, the latter is indeed more than the mere cultivation of the intellectual faculties, more than the cramming of the mind with facts; it means more than mere, instruction. One can be instructed without being educated, but one cannot be educated without being instructed. The object of education is to render youth strong, intelligent, virtuous; to teach a child's head and to form his heart; in one word; it is to rear the children "in the Discipline of the Lord." Mere instruction in reading, writing and arithmetic will not train the child to self-denial, to virtue, to the government of the passions; it will not plant into the young hearts the ideal of lofty virtue, of personal responsibility, of moral dignity and self respect, of true manhood and womanhood. Solid education alone can do this noble task, many therefore are the duties of the teacher, great his resoonsibilities. The first condition of respect in this great work of education is perfect harmony between the parent and the teacher. Home life and school life must be in perfect union. To the teacher are intrusted the little ones during 5 hours every day. His is the sacred duty to teach the child in every branch of knowledge; but in the still higher talk of the moral training, father and mother must cooperate with teacher, and aid him in keeping strict discipline and order, when the pupil knows that their parents act toward them is little trouble in discipline. Whereens a child that has "his own way" at home, cannot be a good pupil; he is a burden for the teacher and exercises a pernicious influence on his companions. The family circle is the place where the foundation of good habits and happy dissipations are laid, which under the teacher's influence tend to form, good men and good women. Much that the teacher does, the parents may undo. They may retard or advance his work. Home and school are the two great training places of life. Their efforts combined? their greatest good is expected; their purposes antagonized, the great harm is imminent. Our primary schools cannot be expected to produce saints and heroes, but with the aid of fathers and mothers, they can succeed in bringing up good, honest, virtuous men and women, that are a honor or to any race or creed, and a credit to church and State, to parent and teacher. St. Benedict's school aims at giving a true and solid education to our colored children. The good and devoted Franciscan Sisters will do their duty, and they expect that the parents will help them in their great and noble work. By recommending, therefore, this school to the colored people of this city, you have, dear Editor, rendered a new service to the noble cause, equally dear to our hearts, the uplifting and elevation of the colored race.

The program at night was one of the best in the history of the church and the partici- pants were composed of some of the best literary talent of St. Phillips. Mr. John Baldwin superintendent of Sunday school was master of ceremonies. The papers read by Messers Jesse Brinson, W O cestberry, Louis Liggon, David F Moses, Miss D F Holmes, and Miss Sofronia Gaston were some of the best composed matter that has ever been read in St. Phillip and show talent and research. The musical feature of the program was the solos by Misses Vioa Jordon and May Stewart, accompanist on piano by Miss Anna Williams was very good. The solo entitled "On which side are you on" by Mr. J B Moultrie captivated the audience, encore after encore, applaud after applaud was given the noted singer, We would like to give the subject of each paper rendered but space wont permit, but as a whole the flow of eloquence filled our souls with rapture. St. Paul's Dots Rev. W. T. Moore has returned from Albany, Ga.; where he had been for the last ten days, attending the Inter-Conference Missionary Convention of the C, M. E. Church He reports a pleasant trip, great success along all lines and especially the financial, in that they raised $10,000 for educational and home missionary work in Georgia and Florida. Notwithstanding his late arrival and also being quite fatigued, he filled his pulpit Sunday at eleven o'clock p. m. and also at 8 p. m. with credit to himself. He is an orator from the manner born, and everybody should hear him. The Woman's Missionary Society meets every second and fourth Sunday at 4:30 p. m., at which time they rendered an excellent program. The public is invited to meet with these worthy ladies and help them enjoy the beautiful solos, duets, quartets and the fine lectures from some of the leading ministers of the city. Come out and be with us next Sunday. Rev. Moore will begin his series of sermons next Sunday night, which he has prepared on the Lord's prayer. Everybody is invited to come out and hear these sermons; don't miss them. St Philip Monumental Church We are now within one month of the annual conference which convenes in Fitzgerald, Ga., Oct. 22, this being our fourth year. We thank God we can look with pride on the steady progress that has been made on all lines of church work in this old historic Zion. She represents a strong membership of honest laboring people who are always ready to do their full duty. Last Sunday was a record breaker. A most excellent program was rendered at night, Rev. R. V. Branch and Dr. R. H. Johnson, M. D., made addresses and papers, solos and recitations we rendered by excellent talent of the church, while the choir gave us choice music. The collection amounted to nearly $200, and a check for a nice sum has been sent Rev. L. H. Smith, the treasurer of Morris Brown College. We wish to thank our friends who helped us so lavishly and made us succeed beyond our expectation. And we would not forget to mention particularly the faithful work of all the ladies. Especially do we mention Mrs. Belle McAlister who reported $26.45 and Mrs. Ida M. Williams who led in the rally by reporting $56.00. The members are now getting in earnest about the money are now getting in earnest about the fact that we made the greatest income in dollar money of any church in the Georgia Conference last year, and we give notice now that we shall do the same thing at the end session of the Conference also we shall make the greatest increase on endowment for education. The Ministers Ewangelical Union have invited His Grace Bishop Smith, the Presiding Bishop of Georgia and the invitation has been accepted. Preparations are being made by the A. M. E. Churches to give the Bishop a rousing reception to Georgia and the conferences. This affair will take place at the old historic spot, the mother church of Georgia, St. Philip Monumental Church. Her member are loyal and they will see that he things will be in order for the occasion, and the Bishop will be well entertained white in this city. We took a collection in our church for the Augusta flood sufferers of $12.00. We did not send this contribution through The Savannah Press as did the other churches. I felt that since we are always harping about recognition of the Negro that it was our duty first to set the example, for I believe that there are in Augusta as honest colored men as white, and that there were some Negroes in Augusta to receive a charitable contribution as honest as there were in Savannah collect it. Hence I dissented from the entire body and sent my contribution to Dr. J. H. Heste, Pastor Bethel A. M. E. Church, to distribute according to his Christian judgment. I also believe that honor will exist under black skin as well as white, for integrity knows no color; therefore the Negro must show to the world that they have confidence in each other. I will deliver my farewell sermon on the third Sunday in October, the 18th and leave for the Conference on the 20th. Let all the members register their dollar money. Yours truly. Union Dots Last Sunday was a great day at old Union, Lic. Williams filled the pulpit all day. Sunday School was well attended, Deacon G. W. Clark left, on last Monday for Macon. Rev. Moss is taking his vacation and will return by the first of October. Rev. N. H. Whitmire will fill our pulpit tomorrow. Come and hear him. St. Benedict's Church.

Between massive flowing palms the ceremony took place. The charming bride looked bewitching, gowned in French linen and made up in a style very becoming. The ceremony was a pretty one and the annunciation of the happy couple was distinct and earnest. After the ceremony friends showered congratulations on them. The bride, Miss DeLyons, is a lady of amiable disposition and beloved by her friends. Mr. Houston is one of our exceptional young men and an efficient clerk in the Savannah postoffice.

An Inspiring Scene No race lover could pass the millinery establishment of Madam Buchanan on Monday last without feeling a great amount of inspiration at the scene during the day and the evening. The occasion was the fall opening. Mrs. Buchanan recently visited one of the largest markets in the country where she secured the latest creations of the milliner's art and which abounded in Parisian styles. The hats were beauties and trimmed in the prevailing colors of the season and by deft hands. They were arranged in such a way as to immediately attract the eyes of the ladies. The store was fitted up for the occasion, and was visited by streams of ladies. Here the ladies felt free, they were courteously treated and naturally enjoyed the opening. Miss Buchanan should feel elated over the success of her opening and the support that our ladies are giving her. She is mistress of her business and gives complete satisfaction. Metropolitan Officers Resign Mr. F. M. Cohen who has been the local manager of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company, forwarded on Wednesday last, the following resignation: "After a long continued service in your company or employment which has been satisfactory, as I have endeavored to render the best service possible under varying circumstance. I have reached the conclusion that, the time has come to sever my connection with the Institution, as its manager. I feel that my position in the community demands this step, because when one loses the respect of his neighbors he loses his usefulness in the community in which he lives and I am on the verge of losing my standing here, a standing which I have labored long and hard to establish. If at any time in the future I can be of service to the Company, I am willing to do so. My connection with the Company as Manager will cease to exist on the 25th of September 1903. Trusting this will meet your approbation." Capt. W. D. Armstrong who wrs general representative of the company has also tendered his resignation to become effective at once, In Memory of Eev Weston An appropriate program has been arranged for memorial services in honor of Rev. W. L. P. Weston, late pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church. The services commence tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. It will be conducted by Rev. Wm. Gray, Moderator of the Bureau Baptist Association. The public is invited to attend this service and do honor to a minister who has truly left his impress on this community. Have Your Children Vaccinated Before children can be entered in the public schools it is necessary for them to show evidence of having been vaccinated. Heretofore the doctors visited the schools for this purpose, but this year the parents will have to make other arrangements to have them vaccinated. Do so immediately in order for the children to enter school. For Augusta Sufferers At the meeting of Evergreen Court No. 3, of Calanthe of the E. and W. H., five dollars was voted for the Augusta sufferers. This amount was brought to our office by the Worthy Counsellor, Mrs. L. H. Lawson, and forwarded to its proper destination. TO THE PUBLIC Mr. J. H. Moultrie, formerly with the Union Savings and the Savannah Mutual Fire Association has been placed in the position of general manager and corresponding secretary of the Afro-American Union Savings and Loan Co., of which Rev. Wm. Gray is president. Mr. Moultrie assumed the management of this institution with flattering endorsements as a businessman, having exercised in and done service for for some of the most successful corporations in the city. Already he has instituted various innovations which will serve to draw attention to the fact that his company is still in the field, catering for a part of the patronage of the people of this city and community. One among his many schemes is the purchase and ownership of an excursion boat sf sufficient tonnage to carry seven hundred passengers. Upon this scheme six hundred dollars have been set aside, the balance to be raised within a given time. Mr. Moultrie proposes to bring his company to the front and will spare no honest effort to do. With Rev. Wm. Gray as president, a man of unquestionable character and excellent discretion as to the, management of men and the financing of undertakings—with a well earned grasp upon a great number of honest, frugal people, it will be expected that great impetus will be infused into company and that its future will be a successful one.

CITY MARKET A YOUNG MAN AND TEN ACRES By Intensive Farming H. M. Howard Makes His Little Farm. With His Greenhouses, Produce $10,000 Each Year. By E. L. FARRINGTON, HARRISBURG, PA There is a man in West Newton, Mass., who is making a good living for himself and his family from ten acres. This sort of thing, no doubt, would seem impossible to the farmer of the great West, and his hundreds of acres of rolling prairies, but intensified farming is proving the salvation of New England. The achievements of this West Newton man—his name is H. M. Howard—have placed him in the front ranks of the advocates of that sort of farming which means raising as much on ten acres as, under old style methods, was raised on fifty. Mr. Howard is in demand as a speaker at farmers' institutes and similar gatherings, and his farm is known all over New England, and far beyond. Mr. Howard is a young man, and is putting into practice the knowledge he received during a course of study at the State Agricultural College at Amherst, supplemented by practical experience on farms and market gardens in the vicinity of Boston. He is able to make his ten acres yield more than $10,000 worth of produce, or over $1000 an acre, in a single season. Many market gardeners consider that they are doing, well when they get a yield amounting to $500 an acre, but Mr. Howard is by no means satisfied with twice that amount, and expects to do considerably better than he has been able to do thus far. Sunny Slope, as the little farm is called, is near the Brae Burn Golf Club in a very pleasant section. The land slopes away from the road in such a way as to insure good drainage, and is cultivated in the most thorough manner, sometimes as many as thirty men being at work on the ten acres. Mr. Howard began with almost no money, taking a five-year lease of the property, which he subsequently purchased, as he began to prosper in his venture. Lettuce in the hotbed and in the open field has been the leading crop. Indeed, lettuce has proved a mortgage lifter in the case of many a New England truckman. The returns from lettuce are sometimes enormous, although it is only fair to say that they are sometimes small. A head of lettuce takes a square foot of ground and two full crops may be grown on the same field. The price varies from one-half cent to six cents a head at wholesale, but nobody can foretell the price with accuracy, nor is it safe to estimate the profits until the money is in hand. Sometimes a hallstorm will ruin a crop which was just ready to plick. The two most important factors which affect the business are the weather and the condition of the market. "No young man," said Mr. Howard, "should think of going into the market garden business if he is afraid of water or mud. The work of transplanting and often that of harvesting, as well, must be done when the weather is far from agreeable. The prince of garden produce able. The prices of garden produce often are highest just after a season of bad weather, and the wise gardener is alert to take advantage of the fact. "The market," continued Mr. Howard, "is always best when supplies are coming in slowly. The earlier we can get the bulk of our crop to market the more money we can make. I am striving to produce all that can be produced on one piece of land the size of this in one season. Nature strives to cover the ground with plants of some kind, and if we farmers can cover it with edibles we ought to receive the reward due for our labor and time." Spinach is a prominent crop at Sunny Slope, and wonderful crops have been produced—as many as 1,600 bushels to an acre, selling at twenty-five cents a bushel. Other profitable crops are radishes, tomatoes, beans, cauliflower, corn and celery. There are seasons when the Boston market calls for unusually large quantities of certain vegetables. In May and June, for instance, lettuce and spinach have the call. On June 17 and July 4 there is a tremendous demand for green peas and strawberries, while at Thanksgiving time everybody wants celery to grace the festive board. It is a wise gardener who keeps these facts in mind, and not little of the success which has come to Mr. Howard has been due to the fact that he has watched the market with an eagle eye and has calculated the extent of its demands far in advance. The water supply is an important question on a farm like that owned by Mr. Howard, who has both town water, which comes to his place under high pressure, and a system of his own, the water being pumped from a well by a hotair air engine. Many farmers make a serious mistake by not keeping accurate accounts. They might profitably take a leaf from the diary of the owner of Sunny Slope, who is so systematic in this respect that he is able to tell the amount of profit in a single hill of beans, which he places at fifteen cents, and the average of each tomato vine; the amount being thirty cents. Now, a tomato plant that looks like thirty cents is no joke, and so satisfactory a profit is secured only by using immense amounts of fertilizer and by the most thorough cultivation. During the winter Mr. Howard lays out a plan for the coming season's work in a book, and follows it as closely as possible day by day throughout the season. He is like the manager of a great factory, and regards his farm in much the same way that a manufacturer does his plant. He employs a good many Italians for the field work, and much of the weeding is done by hand. When the vegetables are gathered they are carefully picked over and cleaned, so that they, will go to the market presenting an attractive appearance. Mr. Howard's activities are not confined to the summer months, for he has several large greenhouses, which occupy much of his attention during the winter. He formerly grew violets extensively, but is now going more largely into the production of winter vegetables. Greenhouse plants are costly, and Mr. Howard's houses have been built one at a time, as his success with vegetables grown in the open has warranted the increased investment—New York Tribune. What a Wife Needs is Brains By WINIFRED BLACK. Mr. Charles M. Schwab says the ideal wife is the wife who can cook, darn and make good coffee. Right you are, Mr. Schwab—when the ideal husband of that ideal wife is the ideal man who chops the wood, blacks his own boots and comes home from down town early on purpose to get the furnace ashes ashed before it's too dark to see in the basement. The ideal wife for any man in any station in life is a woman who has brains enough and sense enough and adaptability enough to do whatever work it is her duty to do in her own particular station in life or the station to which her husband's position entitles her. The woman who marries a poor man and refuses to learn the things that a poor man's wife ought to know is just as silly and selfish and of as little consequence in the world as the woman who marries a rich man and doesn't know enough to learn how to live up to her position. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish probably never cooked a meal in her life—but from the caustic good sense of some of her recent remarks on the woman question, I'll wager that she could learn how to do it in just about three days if she had to. And she'd cook it right, too, and have the time of her life doing it, and the steak would be broiled and not fried, and the coffee would taste like coffee and not like dishwater. It isn't going to school in the kitchen that makes a good housekeeper, Mr. Schwab, any more than it's running errands in an office that makes a good business man. The first requisite for any kind of success in any walk of life is brains. The woman who has brains-enough can learn to cook and to cook well when the time comes that she ought to learn it. What on earth would you do with a cook for a housekeeper, Mr. Swab, in your present condition in life? A woman who is married to a man of your success and money has no more business to cook her husband's meals than her husband would have to take time from his great business interests to kindle the furnace fire and sweep off the front sidewalk. Every station in life has its simple, perfectly defined duties. Women can't escape any more than men from the complicated system' of our times. The woman who does her housekeeping as her grandmother did it is just as much out of it to-day as the man who would try to compete with an express train service by running a train of ox teams. I believe in the domestic woman, and the reason I believe in her is that she seems as a rule to show the best power of adaptability—and that, after all, is the touchstone of real practical usefulness. I never knew a good business woman who didn't make a good housekeeper—when she had sense enough to put her mind on it. I never knew a girl who couldn't and wouldn't do a thing at home who ever could or would do a thing away from home. Common sense and brains—that's the whole business. Mr. Schwab—From the New York American. Doctors' Incomes. The shrinking incomes of medical men furnish legitimate reasons for serious apprehension. It may be true that general economic conditions are, somewhat responsible for the particularly noticeable imprecusity of the profession at this time. Physicians rarely get their money until every one else is paid, and when the grocer, butcher, florist and confectioner have to wait, how can the doctor expect any consideration? But that for at least five years the average medical income has been steadily decreasing is the disconcerting fact. To settle on any one cause or group of causes is impossible. A little thought, however, will certainly suggest, aside from the increase of doctors and the growth of new "schools," some modern features of medical practice as possible factors in a condition that is daily growing worse instead of better. Not the least prominent are lodge and club practice and the abuse of hospital charity. It is high time that the profession realized the growth of these evils and took active steps to avert the dangers that threaten.—American Medicina. THE HUB: POWER INFLUENCE SOCIAL STANDING PLEASURE AMBITION NOMASQUE MISERY CONSUMPTION We Are All Grabbing For It.—From Judge. New Idea in Garment Fasteners. Innumerable attempts have been made to provide a satisfactory fastener which could be substituted for the button and buttonhole so long used A Century Ag A. M. Deveroux, has in his possess articles of the school Eliza on a voyage ```markdown ``` for fastening all manner of garments. These substitutes have taken the form of hooks and eyes, of all shapes and sizes, and similar patented clasps. An entirely new idea in this line that should prove successful is shown here. This clasp consists of a clasp comprising a stud and a co-operating eyelet. Both are formed of hard rubber and attached to shanks, which are fastened to the garment. The stud is hollow, and is shaped similar to the ordinary collar button. The eyelet is slightly smaller than the widest portion of the stud, to insure a firm hold. Being of rubber the eyelet naturally will expand sufficiently to slip over the stud. The latter being hollow and also of rubber will contract, making the operation of slipping on the eyelet an easy matter. When the eyelet and stud are thus clasped considerable force is required to unfasten them.-Washington Star, Indian Engineer.

The schooner was in command of one Mathias Rider, Jr., master, and was manned by a crew of first and second mates, cook, ship's boy and three seamen, which in these days would be considered sufficient for a large three master. The pay list is of interest as compared with the present day, as by this paper the master received $25 a month, the two mates $22 and $17 respectively, and the seamen $12 a month, while the boy received $4.50.

Rules for Scaling Wax A work of heraldry, by Paul Gruendel; recently published, at Leipzig, contains some information on the subject of scaling wax and the rules governing its use in the days of old. White wax was for the kings of France and later for the kings of Sicily. A few dukes were allowed the high privilege, through the generosity of Frederick III. Red wax was for the Holy Father at Rome and the German monarchs, but as a mark of favor to the people it was allowed to be used generally. Green wax "was for the common people, and some cities which had been unfaithful to their government were compelled ever afterward, as a mark of their shame, to seal all public documents with green wax."—New York Tribune.

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 or hint of staleness loft 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 a 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.

The discovery of the fossil remains of a number of animals never before supposed to have existed in the eastern States is the result of the work of exploration conducted along Chesapeake Bay by Dr. F. W. True and William Palmer, of the Smithsonian Institution. "While we have not, as yet, compared the specimens obtained, we are looking forward to some noteworthy additions to our knowledge of the prehistoric animals of the United States," sald Mr. Palmer. "We found the remains of a creature of which no specimen has, to my knowledge, heretofore been found in America, although it belongs to a group well known and still existing in Europe. "Some of the bones found may belong to a species of wild horse once common in this region. The leg bones of this creature closely approximate the modern zebra. Other bones have been supposed to be those of a prehistoric camel. Remains of fossil horses or camels have never been found in this region, though several species of both are known to have been once common in sections of North America."—Washington (D.

Eighth avenue and Second street. Sunday morning, the Rev. Charles S. Macfarland, Ph. D., of the Congregational Church of South Carolina. Conn., author of "The Influence." Jamie selection, and other works preached on "The Imperial Spirit, or Jesus." The texts were from John 4:27: "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not it be frighten, be troubled, neither let it be frighten." John 6:13: "In the world we shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer I have overcome the world." Matthew 10:34: "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword." Dr. Macfarland said: "Jesus is reassuring His disciple. He says to him: He be courageous, he hold, overcome the world. By the world He means the temporal life. Be masters. He says over that life; let your spirits overcome it." What a sublime picture! There He is, awaiting the end. He is going down to apparent defeat, to human eyes. His life seems nought. The cross awaits Him, a cross between the crosses of two thieves. Barabas is to be chosen instead of Himself. He no longer has any followers, except those faithful few, and even they are trailing, fearful and ready to flee. Yet He utters these stranely contradictory words, "I am the Master of the world." He also the moral grandeur of Jesus, the translation of His personality and His inner life into terms of moral power. As He was the great thinker, so He was the noble liver of the race. As He raises the mastery of lofty minds, so He is the sovereign of all noble lives. His splendid life is now centering in the cross toward which it has been leading. From the beginning He has seen the end. Behind Him is a long trail of moral strength. From Him goes the impression of a sovereign personality. He is the supreme exponent of the living, for the manhood of our day, alternating bravery and cowardice, with its resolve and weak compliance. Jesus becomes, first, the shamer and then the insolner of human living. Having in some measure apprehended the solldid mind of the Master and gathered something of the moral grandeur of His life, we seek to discover the hidden secret of His outward splendor. Let us try to look into His soul and discover the meaning of this majestic, brave, strong, impellingly attractive manhood. Look again at our text, recall the situation under which it was uttered, remember that He is facing a cross, listen to His words: "Peace I leave unto you, "Be full of confidence," "Conquered the world." Another stranger thinks, the contradictoriness of the Master. For upon another occasion did He not say, "Think not that I am come to send peace on the earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword?" How are we to explain the paradox of these two contradictory texts? Shall we avail ourselves of the liberty of criticism and say that one appears in the Synoptic Gospels and is historical, while the other appears in the Fourth Gospel and is, unhistorical? Shall we decided that one of them is an interpolation? This is altogether too easy and ready a method. Let us wait and see if we may not bring them into harmony. First of all let us look at the second text and see how true it is. He sent those disciples forth into the world. Did not they find the sword? Their story is a continuous one of persecution, imprisonment, death. If there was the one thing they did not find it was peace. Peter and John began at Jerusalem. They were told that they must not speak or teach in the name of Jesus. They went out, prayed for courage and went to preaching again. For it they were beaten with stripes. They received their hundredfold reward "with persecutions." What mockery are Jesus' words to Him! "Peace I leave with you." How fortunate if the Fourth Gospel were written very late and is unreliable! Does it not make our Lord guilty of false prophecy? The story goes on through succeeding ages. The successors of these disciples live and die in Roman cataclysm, hungered, desplumed, persecuted, suffering unto death. How it must have mocked them: "Peace I leave with you." Jesus bequest was broken, or at least this codicil revoked. But even all this is less perplexing than the utterance coming from the lips of the man who spoke it. Was it a mistaken prophecy of Jesus? Because His own life was so calm and peaceful did He suppose that His disciples' would be also? Look for a moment at the life of the man from whose lips these words come. Follow Him in His weariness, in His rejection, in His disputes with carping criefs, with His misunderstanding and quarrelling disciples. Not a place to lay His head. Go with Him on the mountainside at night. Witness Him in the Garden, where He sweat, as it were, great drops of blood. Behold Him on Calvary between thieves. Watch Him crowned with thorns, buffeted, spat upon, mocked in disdain. What a contrast and contradiction are His words: "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give unto you." Evidently we must accept the prophecy of our second text and deny the truth of the first. Before doing so let us go back and look at those disciples again and behold another aspect of their life. Peter is there, it is true, in prison. But we read about the presence of an angel of the Lord and of a light in the midst of the darkness. Think of some of those little gatherings in the upper rooms with the breaking of bread and prayers. Look at Paul his disciples all full of beauty. Read his disciples who will believe and hope and faith. On the sinkship he is the one buoyant spirit of them all. He goes into the midnight prison again where he sits thrust into the inner ward with his feet fast in the stocks, and you hear him, with Silas, singing hymns.² Go back again and look at the life of Jesus. Look beyond the outward vicissitudes. Seek to penetrate to the inner consciousness of the suffering man. There is no thought of pessimism in His Gospel. He is ever lighted up by faith and hope and joy. Behold Him before Pilate! His countenance is untroubled. Pilate is the disturbed and restless one; the troublesome dreams were those of the chamber of his household. Our paradox is partly solved. Both prophecies are true. He did send a sword on earth. He did at the same time leave His benuest of peace. But our real question is not answered. Is it true of human life in general? When has come the finest literature, the literature of peace, joy, light, hope, inspiration, trinitime? Has it come from men whose lives were free from suffering, pain and disappointment? Sometimes, perhaps, but not very often. It has not come from those who lived in kings' palaces and wore soft ralment. Most of it has come out of the depths of dungeon, from blind poets, from disease-racked bodies. Jesus' prophecy is true. The reason it did not seem to be true was because we did not read it aright. Read it again; "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give unto you." My peace. "Not as the world." It means that this outward life is not our realest life. It means that our outward and inward life are in large measure independent of each other. It means that true peace does not come from external situations, but from something that is within us; our inward sense of our rightness with God, our consciousness of true purpose and true heart. It means the estimate of things by a view from above. It means that Heaven is not a place to go to, but a condition to attain. It means that a man, within himself, may be like one enfolded in the comfort of his home while the storm rages outside. The ultimate victory of human life is this triumph of the inward spirit over the outward life. I am trying to give to men a vital meaning for the cross. Look at the Master this morning, fresh from Gethsemane, facing that cross, with not one brave soul to stand by Him to the end. Hear again the calm, majestic utterance, "I have conquered the world." Imagine yourself there with the disciples, facing their life, and hear Him as He says to you, "You may suffer and yet dwell upon sublime heights." "The storm of ruin may come and yet there need never be any truce of the spirit." It was just what He had been saying all along to them, "I will give you rest." He looked out on the city of His day; He saw men as we see them today, racing each other for wealth, looking upon each other with mutual suspicion. He was saying to them, "Do not be like the frail craft, like the little steam yacht; be like the great ocean steamer with her iron hull, as she moves on her way with her ponderous throbs; do not let yourself be tossed about upon the ocean, but ride through her billows." He was bidding men as He bids you men to-day to seek and possess the great ultimate realities of life. He was saying, "Forget to watch your little engines and look out upon the ocean and up into the sky." Do not guard your business, your paltry pleasures and little interests while you forget to think about the deep things of life. Try this morning to catch His spirit as did the great Apostle Paul, who learned how to abound and also how to be abased, to rejoice in adversity and to let all the experiences of life give their lessons and their strength. Do not long for some soft pine-laden balmy southern air, but be made stronger by the bleak winds of the rock-bound coast. Get hold of something that is beyond the reach of men, some joy which no man taken from you. Be like the rock unmoved by the surging of the waters. When stricken down, rise again mighter than before. Such is the voice of these great gospels. My dear men (and women), the peace of Jesus Christ does not come through some mythical contemplation, nor through some vague experience. It comes by our sharing of the spirit of the Master, by the earnest following of duty, the noble facing of responsibility, the bold, confronting of difficulties, the patient bearing of calumny, the quiet endurance of persecution, the grave crying of sorrow and the prayerful sanctifying of our joys. Gethsanem and Calvary are the price of this spirit. Rest can only follow labor. The overcoming of outward things is the condition of inward peace. You men here, you young men here, religion is not simply something for women, or for you when you are sick or dying. In those closing days of Jesus they left this noble man to be admired and worshiped by a few faithful women. So you men have done; but now I ask you, do it humbly, do it modestly, do it knowing that you are not worthy to unclose the latchet of His shoes, but be His disciples, admire His character, do things "for His sake," give Him a great, manly affection. Objects For Prayer. A man who stood out among men as the embodiment of all that is clean, noble, gentle, humble and strong was Major Whittle, the Bible teacher and evangelist. Written on his Bible was these objects of daily prayer for himself. This may tell the secret of his noble character. To be kept from carnality and lusts of the flesh. To be delivered from a man-fearing spirit. To be delivered from vanity and conceit. To be made pure in imagination and thought. To have a deeper conviction of sin. To love the Lord Jesus Christ more devotedly.—Pacific Baptist. Sustaining. A man conscious of enthusiasm for worthy alms is sustained under petty hostilities by the memory of great workers who had to fight their way, not without wounds, and who hover in his mind as patron saints, invisibly helping.—George Elliot. The Right is Resistance. To insist on right is always to resist the devil. HELPFUL ADVICE A You won't tell your family doctor the whole story about your private illness—you are too modest. You need not be afraid to tell Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., the things you could not explain to the doctor. Your letter will be held in the strictest confidence. From her vast correspondence with sick women during the past thirty years she may have gained the very knowledge that will help your case. Such letters as the following, from grateful women, establish beyond a doubt the power of LYDIA E PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND to conquer all female diseases. Mrs. Norman R. Barndt, of Allentown, Pa., writes: "Ever since I was sixteen years of age I had suffered from an organic derangement and female weakness; in consequence I had dreadful headaches and was extremely nervous. My physician said must go through her operative. A friend told me about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I took it and wrote you for advice, following your directions carefully, and thanks to you I am today a well woman, and I am telling all my friends of my experience." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, flatulency, indigestion dizziness, ornervous prostration.

"I had eczema on my hands for about seven years and during that time I had used several so-called rrenelles, together with physicians" and drugstiffs "prescriptions. The disease was so bad on my hands that I could lay a state-pencil in one of the cracks and a rule placed across the hand would not touch the pencil. I kept using remedy after remedy, and while some gave partial relief, none believed as much as did the first box of Cuticura Ointment.

You take a good deal of risk if you buy white lead without having absolute assurance as to its purity and quality. You know white lead is often adulterated, often misrepresented. But there's no need at all to take any chances. The "Dutch Boy Painter" trade mark of the National Lead Company, the largest makers of genuine white lead, on a package of White Lead, is a positive guarantee of purity and quality. It's as dependable as the Dollar Sign. If you'll write the National Lead Company, Woodbridge Bldg., New York City, they will send you a simple and certain outfit for testing white lead, and a valuable book on paint, free.

The entire jurisdiction join in welcoming back home our most worshipful Grand Master H. R. Butler, Mrs. Butler and little Henry, who spent the past several months in Europe. The doctorr arrived in Atlanta last Saturday. We are glad to state that he enjoyed his trip. We are thankful to the Great Architect for their safe return. In places where ther are two or more lodges arrangements should be made for the proper observance of St. Josn's day in December, at which time the officers of the lodges are to be installed, or are generally installed. Such arrangements should be made as will reflect creditably on the craft. At the end of this quarter the Grand Secretary will publish his usual quarterly suspension list. No candidate should be advanced in Masonry until he shows himself proficient in the degrees that he may have. Any candidate that is unable to show such proficiency, has no business in the order. In fact, it is about time for the barrier to be placed on the membership so as to secure quality instead of quantity. It would greatly benefit the order if the initiation fee be increased to $25. Covenant Lodge No. 87 laid the cornerstone of St. James A. M. E. Church last month. Worshipful Master H. M. Mobley had charge of the ceremonies and reported a successful affair, and that the people were impressed with the Masonic ceremony. Past Deputy Grand Master Charles A. Clark passed through the city on Tuesday on his way home from Boston where he attended the Masonic celebration. He spent some time in New York and other points after the celebration. Worshipful Master Geo. L. Binyard returned last week and reported a pleasant trip. He made an interesting report to the lodge last week. Brother Drake of St. Andrews informs us that Mrs. Gussie Fox left some time ago for Americus accompanied by her two sisters and brother who are to enter the Masonic school. They are orphan children of Bfother J. W. Wilchers, who died March of last year. Since the Grand Chapter of O. E. S. met in our city with us, death has visited us and taken from our midst one of the brightest young ladies of our city, Sister Naomi Dumas. She was the secretary of the B. Y. P. U. of the city and also secretary of the First Baptist Sunday School and a teacher in same, and was an earnest Christian worker. We know of no young lady so young as she that was of more importance and more benefi- cial to the public in general. She was a member of Hosanna Chapter No. 93, which was the last Chapter set up before the Grand Chapter met in our city. She was appointed to the office of Truth and the supposition was that she would have made one of the brightest officers of the whole Chapter. But she was stricken with the disease of melancholy and despondency, and on Monday afternoon, the 17th ultimo, about 5 o'clock it was discovered that she had taken carbolic acid which put an end to it all in a short time. Doctors were summoned and did all they could but to no avail, the deadly stuff had done its work. She was buried from the First Baptist Church Wednesday at 3 p. m. and it was one of the largest funerals that has taken place in the city for a long time. Hosanna Chapter turned out in full to the funeral but on account of the stormy weather and the lateness of the church ceremonies the R. P. did not take the chapter to the cemetery, but will have a lodge of sorrow later. Her mother is an ardent member of Hosanna chapter, and her father is a past master of Phoenix Lodge No. 12, also the treasurer. All the Masons of the city sympathize with the bereaved family. Central City Chapter No. 46, O. E. S., appointed the following committee to draw up resolutions of condolence on the death of our beloved sister, Naomi Dumas, and send same to the family: Sister Rosa Reid, chairman; Sister Lula Walker, Brother James Furcum. Whereas, Sister Naomi Dumas has crossed the river from whence no traveler returns and Whereas, As she was a member of our sister chapter "Hosannar" on whose Star she faithfully performed her duties, be it Resolved, That we, the Central City Chapter Na, 46, O. E. S., extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy, although we realize that at present all consolation seems impossible. God has ordained that time shall bring comfort and soothing for all earthly sorrows, and to its healing influence we commend you. Respectfully submitted as above, Mrs. W. G. HILL, Royal Matron Protem. L. H. BURDELL, Royal Patron. MISS L. V. LUMPKIN, Secretary. Phoenix Lodge No. 12 Macon, was invited to lay a corner stone for the brothers and sisters of union, of which Mr. J. K. King, is president, about five miles from the city on Sunday, the 6th instant. The Society sent six two-horse wagons to the city to ceaver the 'ledge out to the building. all of the lodges in the city being invited to take part. There were not enough vehicles to carry much more than half. A goodly number hired hacks and buggies and there were about seventy-five or one hundred that participated. On arrival at the Society Temple, we found a fine hall, about 60 by 40 feet setting in the east corner of a sixty-acre lot, owned and paid for by this society, and they also have a bank account of between $800 and $1,000. Brother Rilley Capers preached the sermon for the society. The authority of the Grand Master being read by the Grand Marshal, and the request read by the Grand Secretary, the following officers, with the assistance of the lodge proceeded in the ceremonies: Brothers L. H. Burdell, G. M.; Fred Ray, D. G. M.; James Butler, S. W. G.; Jesse Robinson, J. G. W.; W. P. Dumas, G. T.; L. A. Jones, G. Sec.; L. M. Jones, G. Chap.; R. F. Walker, G. Arch.; N. R. Corbin, G. S. S.; P. W. Williams, G. Tyler, and W. T. Reld, Orator of the day. After the ceremonies were completed a feast was spread for us and heart and appetite could not wish for more than was spread before the craft. After enjoying the great spread the Masons then journeyed back to the city from whence they came happy. L. H. B. THE AGE OF CHILD RULE. . (Special to the Tribune.) May be every race an nation under the sun has experienced, in time, the banes and the blessings which come to each succeeding race. From certain viewpoints, it seems reasonable to conclude that this is a fact, and then, it seems impossible from other viewpoints. For instance, that period of time immediately preceding the discovery and colonization of America, must have differed entirely from other periods, for the fact that such stalwart specimens of manhood and womanhood were produced. Evidently this could not have been an age of 'Child Rule,' if so men would have been puerile and vascillating and women, fashionable, fickle and false. History shows that the reverse was the case. Hence, the laying of the foundation for the greatest nation upon the face of the earth was done by brave hearts and stalwart hands. Men who loved law, feared God and did right. The home was the school in which all civic virtues were taught, and the child was the subject. As a consequence, citizens were moulded, and not rebels from rule. It was an age of the worship of right, and the youth were happiest in their emulation of those whom the people called great. But in this period of the life of the nations the child is the master and returns supreme in almost every house. THIRD. We put up first class goods, at a reasonable price, and guaranteed pure. FOURTH. Our dealing is prompt, and orders for picnics, lodges, churches, excursions and societies given special attention. hold of the land. He selects his own company, follows his own guide and exercises in whatever capacity he chooses, whether for wield or woe. The good child is the exception, the bad child is the rule and "Children's Children" and a marked degeneracy are the sad, but severe consequences. Advice to a child nowadays fat flat and reference to "the rod" is a "casus belll," the accuracy, of the arm, and the fleetness of the feet of the youth, rendering the contest unequal. Truly, this is the age of child rule. But what will be the consequence? where must the nation look for men and women if this state of affairs continues to exist? Where can we hope to find the rugged character of a Washington, the tenacity of a Grant and the matchless courage of a Lee? It cannot be expected that such examples of human excellence evolves from the ruthless crop of youth of today whose biggest asset is almlessness, and whose loftiest hope is rebellion. Education seems simply to unscrew the lid of levity within them and accelerate the flood of its useless contents. Religious influences slide from their callous exertions like the sparkling spray from the down of a swan, lectures fall upon their ears like rhubarb upon the naucus interior of a super-billious invalid; but frivolity clings to them like barnacles to the hulk of a storm-beaten wreck. Such is not the stuff out of which manhood and good citizenship is moulded, nor can the state, nor nation profit by such mock manhood. Just as surely as there ever was a "reign of terror," and history records such, even in the midst of the highest civilization, there is now a "reign of error," that is effecting the nation far more disastrously than it was possible for any "reign of terror" to do. For the former was the result of overwrought brain, which derangement was the result of whim or injury, fancied or real. The latter condition is the result of an underwrought estimate of parental duty, superinduced by a misconceived idea of the significance of freedom. The former, however rigid, or ruthless, could be checked by force that the majority of the people would call justice. The latter is insiduous and fundamental; fastening its nefarious fangs about the very heart and vitals of what is to be the hope of the nation, and is difficult of dislodgment. Too careful an account cannot be taken, of child life in this age of hubbub and, hurry, and the bulk of this care falls upon the shoulders of the mothers. The demand, then, is most largely for the "old form" of mothers, who will watch their brood and see that proper influences surround them. The highest hope of the nation is in her hands, and it is, therefore "up to her" to develop a healthy manhood and womanhood for future wield. It is up to her to break the "reign of child rule" that is so rapidly dispelling the childish ideas and ideals of childlife and ridding home of a wonted pleasure. Day after day and night after, late and early, the streets of the city are thronged with men, boys, who make it unsafe for peace-loving pedestrians. Vulgarity and hilarity define every word of their vocabulary and sensuality every thought of their youthful minds. Docile if alone, but obstreperous and dangerously unmanagable in crowds, like bunches of broncos, they are a menace to themselves as well as to society. Let the mothers begin a crusade against this state of affairs and aid the state by building up better examples of childhood and a more useful manhood. Whatever the future holds in hand for us as a race, is up to us, and we are now laying or falling to lay, the foundation upon which we must forever stand as a people. Let us build therefore to the eternal fitness of things by adding to the body politic a strong and courageous citizenship. Let us draw the line upon our youth and lead them in the paths of duty to self and state, and to the cause of justice and equity to all mankind. THE NEGRO GIRL AND THE WHITE GIRL. "He who has a thousand friends, Has never a one to spare. And he who has one enemy, Will meet him everywhere." Why should there be prejudice and dislike on the part of the white girl to her colored sister. Is it because she was once a slave and a slave must forever wear the mark of degradation? Is there no erasurement for this blot o fshame? The proud Saxon became the slave of the Normans and yet today millions are proud to be called Anglo-Saxons. Will our white sister refuse us her cordial friendship because some of our people are ignorant? No people ever made more heroic efforts to rise from ignorance to enlightenment than we and yet there are some white girls who refuse to sit by us in high school, where all who attend there are supposed to show each other common politeness. Are we held in social dishonor because some of our race are morally unclean? We can and will lift the shadow of mortality from the great mass of our race. Among the thoroughly cultured and rightly trained of we girls, virtue is as sacred as life and among the young men of similar advantages honor and integrity are prized as highly as among any people on the globe. Among the whites money seems to be the thing that opens the door of social recognition and makes a tramp into a man of influence and rank, no matter how he accumulates his money. Barney Barnito, a London Jew, began life with a trained donkey, at length he became the South African diamond king, and then all London paid him homage, a son of a hated nation. Would money thus convert our desplised people into honorable citizens, give them kindly recognition at the hands of their white neighbors and take from them the stigma which has so long marked them with dishonor? If so, we can hope to secure even this and claim like Barney Barnito, the respect of mankind. Let it be said to any white girl not to despise us on account of our color, it is the inheritance we received from God. How cruel it is for a white girl to look down upon us with contempt and dishonor because of the hue of her skin or the curling peculiarity of her hair. Let us stand or fall upon our merit; let us be respected if we are worthy and despise us if we are unworthy. Trust us with responsibilities and above all show us cordial kindness for Man talk of unkind hearts, kind Men talk of unkind hearts, kind deeds. deeds, With coldness still returning: Alas! the gratitude of men Has oftener left me mourning. EMILY L. C. BROWN. Los Angeles, Cal. Yankee Tars at Vatican. Home, Italy.—The pope received in audience seventy sailors from the American battleships Maine and Alabama, which are at Naples. The pontiff, who is always interested in seagoing men, expressed pleasure at their smart appearance. Eight of the men kissed the pope's ring and received from him a medal. The pope standing among them made a most kindly speech, in which he thanked them for their visit and prayed that God would reward them with His grace. Young Man Assassinated. Columbia, S. C.—Pressley Reeves, 24 years of age, who lives about six miles below Branchville, in Dorchester county, was assassinated. Reeves left his home about dark to carry a load of cotton pickers to their homes. About an hour later the mules returned home with young Reeves dead in the wagon, having been shot in the head with buckshot. It is said the wagon did not go to the field with the cotton-pickers. Reeves leaves a widow. It is not known who committed the crime. The crumbs of comfort leaf on their job. Most men would prefer domestic happiness to great riches. oS z ae
