VOL. XXIV. TO FIGHT BOLL WEEVIL A Convention Will Be Held at Nathez; Mississippi. EXPERTS WILL BE PRESENT The United States Department of Agriculture Will Have Special Agents at the Meeting. Natchez, Miss.—What promises to be the most notable gathering of farmers ever held in the south will take place at Natchez from November 24 to 27, inclusive. The prime purpose of the gathering is to prepare the farmers of the cotton belt east of the Mississippi river to battle with the boll weevil and to acquaint them with ways and means of minimizing the ravages of the pest. Secretary L. E. Davls of the Natchez chamber of commerce has returned home from a tour of Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, during which he tendered personal invitations to the governors and commissioners of agriculture of those states to attend the Natchez convention and name delegates who will represent the agricultural interests of their respective commonwealths. The dreaded boll weevil crossed the Mississippi river at or near Natchez one year ago. The historic city on the Mississippi is, therefore, regarded as a most appropriate place for a convention at which ways and means of fighting the pest should be discussed, and at the approaching convention all of the information that it is possible to present on the subject will be offered. The United States department of agriculture has promised its co-operation and will have twenty or more of its special agents, headed by Dr. S. A. Knapp, in attendance. REPORT OF BIBLE SOCIETY. Shoows that the Bible Has Been Published in 412 Languages. London, England.—Interesting details of the progress made by the Bible among savage heathen tribes all over the world are provided in the annual report of the British and Foreign Bible Society. The society has published the Scriptures, or portions of them, in no fewer than 412 languages, and is always adding to the number. During the past year sections of the Bible have been printed in Lengua, a language spoken by the Indians of the Paraguayan Chaco; in Lu-Nyankole, the tongue of a tribe inhabiting the region southwest of Uganda, and in Hindu-Sindhi, a dialect current among the Hindu Inhabitants of Sindhi. During the year 5,688,381 volumes have been issued by the society, including 864,247 complete Bibles, 1,136,655 New Testaments and 3,687,569 portions of the Scriptures. These volumes are distributed among Bibles. The Scriptures are distributed among the natives of many various wild countries by an army of colporteurs, who frequently meet with strange and exciting adventures, some of which are narrated in the society's report. FIVE MILLION PEOPLE,DOOMED. Starling Declaration is Made of Cost of Tuberculosis by Prof. Fisher. Washington, D. C.-That five million people, now living in the United States, are doomed to fill consumptives' graves unless something is done to prevent it, was the startling declaration of Professor Irving Fisher of Yale University, in an address on "The Cost of Tuberculosis," before the International Congress on Tuberculosis. Professor Fisher's address created a sensation among the hundreds who listened to his statements. Professor Fisher further declared that the 138,000 persons who die of consumption annually in this country cost, in hard cash, over one billion dollars a year. In section one, in which it is expected the most of the scientific discussion and discoveries will develop, there was a discussion of great importance to the congress when Professor Calmett of Lille, France, director of the Pasteur Institute, advised the theory that tuberculosis bacill are taken into the system by swallowing. - ENGINE HELD FOR TAXES. Oklahoma Sheriff Chains Railway Locomotive to the Track Altus, Okla.—Sheriff Hensley of Jackson county has attached a St. Louis and San Francisco freight engine, chaining it to the track here in an attempt to force the payment of $2,250 in taxes said to be due the county from the railroad. The train crew was forced to abandon their train, and both the railroad and the county are threatening suits. BRAVE FIREMAN-KILLED. Four Others Badly Injured in Fire at Dallas, Texas, Dallas, Texas.—One fireman killed and four injured, one seriously, with a property loss of between $150,000 and $200,000, was the result of a fire which broke out in a business block here. All of the firemen were caught in a trap when the roof of a burning building fell in and one was suffocated before rescuers could reach him. The other four men were imprisoned in the burning building, in full view of their comrades, who made a thrilling fight to save them. The heaviest of the losers is the T. L. Craddock Liquor company, whose total will be $70,000. The Savannah Tribune. LATE NEWS NOTES. The Canadian Pacific railroad mechanics' strike which started August 4, has been declared off. The strike involved 20,000 men. Four men were arrested in Cleveland, O., for converting horse flesh into sausages and selling the product for free lunch counters. Mrs. Mary Dougherty, aged 30, of New York City, accidentally shut her 2-year-old baby, Rose, up in a folding bed. A very similar accident occurred in Chicago when Edward Kozlowski, ten months old, was accidentally smothered to death in a folding bed. The child was placed in the bed and covered with a blanket. A short time later his mother entered the room and found that the bed had been closed. She opened it, to find her child smothered to death. Will Vails, a farmer who lives near Ruleville, Miss, shot and instantly killed Dr. J. M. Taylor, one of the most prominent men of Ruleville. Edward Moot of Weatherstaff, Vermont, proved himself the world's champion wood chopper when in the presence of railroad magnates, lumber kings and millionaire New Yorkers he chopped down five cords of wood that had been standing trees, split them into stove lengths and piled them into regular piles, between sunrise and sunset and with an hour and a half to spare. At the end of the unprecedented feat several thousand dollars was paid Maxwell Everts, who had backed Moot's powers with the ax. After a quarter of a century of voluntary exile in the South seas, Thomas Fleming, the original of Stevenson's character, "The Wild Scotchman," arrived in San Francisco, Cal., on the schooner Aerolus, and arrayed in garments of a fashion scarcely ever seen before, has proceeded to get acquainted with electric cars and other evidences of an advancing civilization. Fleming is a trading agent at Arne Island, one of the Marshall group, located one hundred and fifty miles from the nearest white neighborhood. He made the acquaintance of Robert Louis Stevenson, years ago when the author visited the island. Fleming has announced his determination to return when he shall have tired of sightseeing, saying: "Perhaps the life out there is lonely, but somehow it gets into a man's blood and he stays there." Wrapped in the tantacles of a giant devil-fish, Martin Lund, a diver, fought for his life in the hold of the wrecked steamer Pomona, which lies in thirty feet of water in Fort Ross Cove, off the California coast. The devil fish had evidently entered the vessel's hold during the night, and Lund was at work some time before he became aware of its appearance. A giant tentacle, four inches in diameter, first gripped one leg. Before Lund could realize what had happened, another squirmed out of the darkness, and twined about his neck. Plunging suddenly toward it, he drove the knife with all his force into the head, repeating the blows until he had slashed it into sections. Lund then cut himself free, and was brought to the surface in a fainting condition. Advices from Arvonia, Virginia, the center of the state mining region, seventy-five miles west from Richmond, Va., indicate that the citizens of the community are aroused to a state-of dread and panic over recent acts and threats of lawlessness in the community. The receipt by several citizens of annoyous letters threatening murder and arson, and the shooting from ambush of W. M. Gregory, a substantiol land owner, have intensified the feeling and fear. More than three thousand Indians of the Kiowa, Comanche, Apache and affiliated tribes assembled at the foot of Mount Scott, near Lawton, Okla., for a great inter-tribal council and for the annual payment of lease money to those Indians who have their lands leased for farming. The Indians received from $1,300 to $100 each according to the amount of land leased. The supreme court declared unconstitutional the Wisconsin eight-hour railroad telegraphers' law, which was enacted at the 1907 session of the legislature. The la wis declared unconstitutional on the theory that, it is in conflict with the provisions of the federal constitution. Society in Atlanta, Ga., is greatly aroused over the elopement of Silvie Speer, 17-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Speer, and heir to a fortune of about $750,000, with Russell J. Thomas, her father's chauffeur. The couple were married and started immediately for the east. At Charlotte, As she lay sleeping in bed with her two children at her side, Mrs. Helen Roach; 25 years old, was shot twice in the head in the apartment house at 401 West Fifty-Third street, New York city. She died instantly. Washington. Letters to England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales now need only two-cent postage stamps instead of 5 cents. This rate has been agreed upon between the governments as the best means of promoting commercial friendly relations between the United States and Great Britain. It is confidently expected at the war department that unless some unforeseen contingency develops the yellow fever quarantine maintained by the marine hospital service against several provinces in Cuba will be raised in a short time. Besides meeting with determined opposition from the Cubans, the quarantine has proved vexatious to the American army now in Cuba. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1908. LETTER BOOKS STOLEN Taken From His Office and Sold to Hearst Says Archbold. M'LAURIN MAKES STATEMENT Praises Standand Oil Company and Says He is Not Ashamed of His Correspondence with Mr. Archbold. New York City.—A new phase of the discussion of the so-called "Standard Oil correspondence," made public recently by William Randolph Hearst, was entered upon, when John D. Archbold, vice president of the Standard Oil company, made a statement setting forth details of the alleged theft of correspondence from his files. Former United States Senator John Lowndes McLaurin' of South Carolina, also entered the field with a signed statement declaring his attitude in the matter of the correspondence between himself and Mr. Archbold. Mr. Archbold said: "In response to many inquiries as to the theft of letters from my files, the following may be made known: the following may be made known: "Over three years ago a report reached me that certain of my letters had been offered for sale to newspapers of this city, ostensibly stolen letters. Examination showed that some letters were missing, and that they could only have been taken by some one not only familiar with the official details, but highly trusted. The party on whom suspicion fell stoutly denied all guilt. "A little later, however, a man who represented himself as acting between the thief and those to whom the letters had been sold, proposed to return some of the letters for a consideration. His story was that the idea of the theft had been conceived by his brother, who had at one time been in the company's employ, and that this brother had induced the employee already suspected, to accomplish the theft. "According to the go-between's story he had disposed of the letters, or some of them, to two men who purchased them on behalf of Mr. Hearst's newspapers. The Journal. "Not only had stolen letters been thus traded for, but the thief was induced to carry off one or more letter-copying books, many of whose pages he claims were photographed, other pages being removed altogether. The books in question were, the go-between said, returned after forty-eight hours. It is impossible to say how many were stolen and sold in this way. The thieves worked at their leisure. It is not thought necessary to say more at present or to mention names. Corroboration of the go-between's story of three years ago lay in his return of some of the correspondence at the time. The production of stolen letters by Mr. Hearst is further, corroborated now. Obviously, among such a coterie, authenticity of their output is not to be lightly accepted. The opportunities for falsification, suppressing of context and distortions of passages are many." Mr. McLaurin, who has just reached New York, gave out a signed statement, in which he stated that all his correspondence with the Standard Oil Company, through Mr. Archbold, was along strictly business lines, and he was not ashamed of it. He praised the Standard Oil Company and denounced Mr. Hearst. REFUSES CROMWELL SWORD. Rockefeller Does Not Want Sword—Will Be Sold at Auction. New York City.—Unless John D. Rockefeller sends to the appraisers' stores for an antique sword said to have been worn by Oliver Cromwell, the weapon will be put up at auction by the government and sold to the highest bidder on October 6. The sword was consigned to Mr. Rockefeller by an Englishwoman, an admirer of Mr. Rockefeller. In a short note attached to the sword the sender said that the relic was vouchered for as having belonged to the great common-influenced her indisposing of an heir-influenced her in disposing of an heir-loom of such priceless worth. Under the circumstances the 'donor of the sword expressed the hope, that Mr. Rockefeller would accept the sword and send a draft for a sum commensurate with the value of the weapon. When the sword reached the custom house it was addressed merely to "Mr. Rockefeller, West Fifth-fourth street, New York." Mr. Rockefeller was communicated with, but he refused either to accept the sword or pay the accruing duties. It was said that Mr. Rockefeller sent a representative to inspect the relic. His report is understood to have been unfavorable to the purchase of the sword. Yacht Sloks : 250 Rescued. Dover, England.—The steam yacht Argonaut, London to Lisbon, went to the bottom after being in collision with the steamer Kingswell. Two hundred and fifty passengers were taken off the Argonaut in small boats and brought safely to shore. The Kingswell is damaged to considerable extent. Cruiser Yankee Deserted. Newport.—Foundered by huge waves rolled up by the northeast storm, the stranded cruiser Yankee has been deserted by all the crew who had been striving to get her off the Hen and Chickens reef, where she grounded some time ago. OF POLITICAL INTEREST. Herman Ridder of New York, editor of The Staats Zeftung and vice chairman of the publicity bureau of the democratic national committee, has been appointed by National Chairman Mack as treasurer of the national committee, to succeed Governor Charles N. Haskell of Oklahoma, who has resigned his position. The prohibition camel has been entered in the national race against the republican elephant and the democratic donkey. In a number of states, the law requires that each party have an official emblem printed on the ballot, that no voter may mistake his ticket. The prohibition party has announced that they have decided to adopt the camel as their mascot. Among the reasons advanced for the selection are that the camel is the original water wagon; that it can discern a fresh supply of water further than any other quadruped; that it can travel faster than the elephant or donkey, and that it is under no necessity of getting a hump on itself. According to figures given out at Chicago by Charles B. Jones, national chairman of the prohibition party, there was an astounding decrease in the production and sale of intoxicating beverages in the United States. Nearly $1,000,000 a day was the decrease in liquor production as estimated by the prohibition leader. Wisconsin had a political climax in which United Staats Senator LaFollette first declared Judge Taft to be a radical in political ideas, and then gave him his own unqualified endorsement. William H. Taft and his party have started on their first campaign tour through the west. For this trip the campaign managers, engaged a special train consisting of the private car, Constitution, from the platform of which most of the speaking is to be done, together with two sleeping cars and a baggage car. Mr. Taft took also, with him a throat specialist from Washington to look out for his health. There were a dozen of newspaper correspondents along. Governor Charles N.-Haskell of Oklahoma has resigned as treasurer of the 'democratic national committee.' His resignation was announced by himself after he had conferred with officers of the democratic national headquarters at Chicago. In giving out his decision, Governor Haskell, in response to a question, declared that he did not desire to be responsible for any embarrassment which might result to the democratic party by retaining the office of treasurer. That his resignation is the direct result of the charges made against him by William Randolph Hearst and President Roosevelt, Mr. Haskell also admitted. At the same time, he did not, by his resignation, intend to admit that any of the charges were true. Chairman Hitchcock of the republican national committee has announced that General T. Coleman DuPont of Delaware, head of the bureau of campaign speakers of the national committee, had resigned as head of that bureau and also as a member of the executive committee of the national committee, and that his resignation had been accepted. Mr. Hitchcock said he had a conference with Mr. DuPont, and the latter insisted upon the acceptance of his resignation, feeling that the tendency of the suit by the government against the powder company with which he is connected might be employed by republican opponents to the injury of the campaign. President Roosevelt has issued a statement denouncing Senator Foraker of "Ohio for the senator's alleged connection with the Standard Oil company, and later when charges of the same nature were brought against Governor Haskell, treasurer of the democratic campaign committee, the president issued another statement denouncing him and the democratic party in general. William J. Bryan, in answering this last statement of the president, accused him of using his position as president of the United States unfairly to influence public opinion and stated that all the democratic party wanted from the administration was a "square deal." Ex-Senator McLaurin of South Carolina, who is also named by William Randolph Hearst as being one of the men who were in the employ of the Standard Oil Company while holding seats in the United States senate, in an interview, stated that an answer to the charges preferred against him was not necessary, as he had been out of politics since 1902. He has always been an 'admirer of President Roosevelt, and said in the interview that Roosevelt ought to be unanimously re-elected by all parties. It will be remembered that McLaurin, while senator, was read out of the party by his democratic colleagues. The socialist party's campaign book, edited by Joseph Medill Patterson of Chicago and supervised by the executive committee of the party, has been issued. It is a slender, red-covered edition, which may easily be carried in a pocket. Mr. Patterson's chief contribution to the book is an unsigned attack on W. H. Tatt's record as an "injunction" judge. Other articles in the symposium are by Clarence Darrow, H. G. Wells, the English novelist; John Shargo, Robert Hunter, Seymour Stedman and Eugene V. Dabs, presidential candidate of the party. Thomas Taggart of Indiana has been appointed chairman of the Commercial Travelers' association of the democratic national committee. TO FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS WELCOMED BY CORTELYOU Secretary of Treasury Speaks for President Roosevelt - Session Marked by Simple Ceremonies. Washington, D. C.—This city witnessed one of the most notable gatherings as assembled in the national capital when medical scientists representing every civilized nation united with their brothers in America in an effort to solve the problem of best to cope with tuberculosis. The great auditorium of the new national museum was filled with men who have consecrated their best talents to the study of tuberculosis, representatives of the sovereigns of foreign countries, high officials of government. The keynote of every utterance reflected the hope that the day is not far distant when medical science shall triumph over the great scourge. When Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyon, as the personal representative of the United States, officially declared the congress opened there were grouped on the platform such distinguished men as Dr. Robert Koch, the discoverer of the tubercle macill; Dr. A. Calmette of Paris; Professor Bernard Bang of London; Dr. G. D. Sims Woodhead of Cambridge, England; Dr. Clemons Von Pirquet, Dr. R. W. Philip of Edinburgh, founder of the first tuberculosis dispensary; Professor L. L. Landousey, Dr. N. Tendeloof of London; Dr. Simon Von Unterburger, honorary physician to his majesty's court of St. Petersburg; Dr. Camilo Callaja of Madrid and many others. Among the members of the diplomatic corps present was Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister. The official welcome on behalf of the United States government was extended by Secretary Cortelyon. Then followed the responses of the official representatives of thirty foreign countries. When Dr. Koch arose to respond in behalf of the German government there was a remarkable demonstration in his honor, men and women waving hats and handkerchiefs for nearly five minutes. At the conclusion of the responses to Secretary Cortelyou's addresses the congress adjourned, and will not again meet in general session until October 3rd. NATION'S IDLE IN CONVENTION. New York City.—An extraordinary gathering made up of delegates from various parts of the country, meet here. They came on the brake cars, on the "blind" baggage of the swift express or straggled in over dusty roads. They profess to represent the country's workless and to constitute the "first national convention of the unemployed." "The National Committee of the Unemployed" is the official name of the organization, at the head of which is J. Eads How of St. Louis, known as the "millionaire hobo." Many prominent men were invited to deliver addresses before the convention, among them President Roosevelt, William J. Bryan, Judge Taft and Jno. E. Redmond, the Irish leader, who is at present in this country. All the gentlemen named have excused themselves on the ground of other engagements. WOMAN INVENTS AIRSHIP. Russian Builds Rudderless Machine That Has Many Virtues. St. Petersburg, Russia—A Russian woman, Mme, Popova, has joined the ranks of inventors with a rudderless airship which she has christened "The Annulated Dragon," in virtue of the peculiar shape adopted for the body of the airbag furnishing the lifting power. Mme, Popova's alm has been to abolish the inconveniences arising from the attachment of rudders of the ordinary type, whose action, together with that of variable gusts of wind, endangers the balloon's equilibrium and safety. "The Annulated Dragon," it is claimed, "adapts itself naturally to every variety and strength of wind by a system of hoops, which also serve to steer it." Chinese Cook Polsons Dough. Palto Alto, Cal.—Angered because he had been discharged as a cook in the Stanford Inn, Chin, a Chinman, put a large quantity of irritant poison in the bread dough and as a result he was hospitalized and two hundred are ill. Promotion by physicians probably saved many from death. Thousands Are Starving. Bombay, India.—Thousands are on the verge of starvation in the flood devastated region of Haldarabad and Reccan, owing to the difficulty in distributing relief. The inevitable outburst of rain on rental rains and between the disease and starvation deaths are likely to cutnumber the drownings. Deserter Heir to a Fortune. Fort Leavenworth, Kans.-Under sentence of two years, in the federal prison here for desertion, which is to be accompanied by a dishonorable discharge - from the army, Geral Falf-child, age 23, is one of two heirs of a $300,000 estate at Duluth, Minn. Are issued by the Bureau of Census at Washington. Washington, D. C.—The bureau of the census has just issued its annual report on the statistics of cities having a population of over 30,000. This report covers the year 1906, and includes financial statistics. A considerable portion of the introduction to the report is utilized for presenting definitions of the accounting terms employed by the bureau of the census, a statement of the principles upon which governmental accounting rests, and a brief resume of the systems and methods of accounting made use of at the present time by the various government of the United States and Great Britain. The number of cities included in this report is 158, of which fifteen, had over 300,000 inhabitants, twenty-seven between 100,000 and 300,000, forty-eight between 50,000 and 100,000, and sixty-eight under 50,000. Of the 158 cities New York had the largest land area—209,218 acres; New Orleans' stood second, with 125,600; Chicago third, with 114,932; Philadelphia fourth, with 81,828, and Duluth, fifth, with 40,556. The cities having the smallest land area was West Hoboken, N. J., which had 546 acres. There is often great disproportion between the area covered by a city and the number of its inhabitants. Duluth, Minn., with 67,337 inhabitants, takes in more territory than St. Louis, with its 649,320 inhabitants. Salt Lake City, with a population less by 5,487 than that of Hoboken, includes an area thirty-five times as great. Of the cities containing over 100,000 population, Allegheny, Pa., had the smallest land area—4,726 acres. Paterson, N. J., had the next smallest—5,157 acres; St. Joseph, Mo., the next—6,240 acres; Dayton, Ohio, the next—6,846; Atlanta, Ga., the next—7,680; Jersey City, N. J., the next—9,163, and Memphis, Tenn., the next—9,772 acres. The report presents a very interesting table showing the costs of maintaining free public schools for the several cities, including in such costs the interest, on the investment in school buildings and grounds. The relative investments of cities in school property may be noted by the varying amounts per capita allowed for interest on such investments. These ranged from 21 cents for Atlanta, Ga.; 24 cents for Charleston, S. C.; 24 cents for Memphis, Teen; 26 cents for Elizabeth, N. J.; 26 cents for Knoxville, Teen; 27 cents for New Orleans, La.; 29 cents for Baltimore, Md.; and 30 cents for Covington, Ky.; to $1.01 for Springfield, Ohio; $1.02 for East St. Louis, Ill.; $1.02 for Yonkers, N. Y.; $1.06 for Salt Lake City, Utah; $1.08 for Boston, Mass.; $1.22 for Jollet, Ill.; $1.28 for Springfield, Mass.; $1.28 for Youngstown, Ohio; $1.31 for Hartford, Conn.; $1.33 for Oakland, Cal.; $1.36 for Duluth, Minn.; $1.41 for Newton, Mass.; $1.41 for Tacoma, Wash.; $1.45 for Denver, Col.; $1.45 for Pueblo, Col., and $1.56 for Spokane, Wash. POLITICIAN COMMITS SUICIDE. Goaded to Death by Stories Circulated by Political Onponents. Asheville, N. C.—After telling some of his friends that he would rather die than live to hear the reports which some of his political opponents were circulating about him, W. Reagan Rice, registrar of deeds of Madison county, shot himself to death in a barn in the rear of his home near Marshall. Death was instantaneous. The deceased was elected to office on the republican ticket two years ago. He was 38 years old and leaves a wife and one child, a daughter. CLEARED OF BRIDERY CHARGE Governor of Indiana is Completely Ex- operated by Legislative Committee. Indianapolis, Ind—The committee which was appointed by the lower house of the special session of the Indiana legislature, which has been investigating at the request of Governor Hanly charges made against the governor by Representative Knisely that the governor had tried to influence in favor of the county option bill by offering him a position, reported to the house, completely exonerating the governor. VERDICT FOR ONE CENT. 'And_One-Half of That Goes to Attorneys in Case. Belleville, Ill. — A sealed verdict awarding damages of 1 cent was returned in the court court of St. Clair county here after attorneys for the plaintiff had stated that they had agreed to take the case for one-half damages recovered. The suit was instituted by Mrs. Lena Schwartz, who asked $10,000, alleging that her step-daughter, Amelia Schwartz, had called her by objectedl names. POLICEMAN TOO CURIOUS. Wanted to See Dynamite Cap Explode! Four Are Injured. Philadelphia, Pa.—Four police officers were seriously injured by the explosion of a dynamite detonating cap left by burglaries in their hurried departure from the diamond store of Joseph H. Deschamps. Reserve Policeman Beaumont and Detectives, Williams, Brown, Long and Reilly of the city force, Moffatt of Camden, and Sharp and Campbell from the Burglal Alarm Company's offices, went to the building. While examining the burglar tools, Beaumont satisfied his curiosity as to igniting battery worked by connecting the positive and negative wires. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society SOL. C.

He is about sixty-four years old. Sanchez Bustillo, former Minister of Finance, who resigned that office only recently on account of ill health, died in Madrid. Senior Bustillo was appointed Finance Minister in place of Osma y Seul, February 23, 1908. Lieutenant-General Baden-Powell, speaking at a meeting in London in connection with a crusade against cigarette smoking, said that £15,000,-000 ($75,000,000) a year was spent on cigarettes. He thought this could be easily saved. 4 Dollar and a Sovereign. When Lord Coleridge visited America among other places he visited Georgetown. As he and his guide were walking on the banks of the Potomac, Lord Coleridge said to his guide: "Mr. Secretary, do you believe that Washington chucked a dollar across the Potomac?" "Yes, sir, I do." "Why do you believe it?" said the judge. "Well, sir a dollar went much-further in those days than it does now." As they were parting, Lord 'Coleridge said: "To revert to the question of Washington, you put me off last time. Do you really believe that he chucked a dollar across the Potomac?" "Well, I can't say, sir. All I know is that he chucked a sovereign across the Atlantic."—London 'Onlooker. HOME OFFICE WEST BROAD STREET, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. Phone 1198. Ga. Phone 2029. Directors. L.

PAINFUL PART OF THE STORY Jones Has an Idea—The Thing is, How Is he to Get it on Paper? It's all very well having an idea for a story, but it's a very different, matter writing it. Three difficult parts of writing a story are the beginning of it, the going on with it, and the finishing of it; and even when these facts have been accomplished to the satisfaction of the writer he still has an arduous task to perform, which is to sell it. There have been cases on record in which the last feat has never been accomplished at all. To the young writer, like Jones, for instance, the beginning of his story appears the most painful. Jones has his idea, his story skeleton, dancing in his brain, but he can't get a holt on any of its limbs and lay it flat. It eludes him and laughs him to scorn as he tries to put paper and ink flesh on its bones. Jones thinks of the various openings of stories he has read. The romantic style, as adopted by Scott, Dumas and G. P. R. James, comes to his mind. Two solitary horsemen were traversing a lonely wood at the end of a hot July day. The steeds picked their way carefully as they, passed over the underbrush, and for an hour or two the animals' footfalls were the only sounds heard. At length [(yes of course)] the elder horseman was the first to break the silence. [(The elder horseman always is the first to break the silence.) But there aren't any horsemen in Jones' story, and it's a matter of indifference to him who breaks the silence first. The New England style next occurs to him: "Louisa," called a hard, sharp voice from the rear kitchen, "you come right in this minnit! Louisa! Loo-ee-zer. Drat that gal, where is she? Gallivant! arnaound them Hicks' medders, I reckon. Fer the lan's sake, here she is naw!" Jones realizes that this kind of opening attracts attention from the start and gives promise of interesting domestic trouble for Louisa. The spelling of "minnit," though unnecessary, has a strong local color, and if Jones has a young girl and a cross stepmother in Concord, N. H., for his principal characters he will do well to ponder this opening. But he hasn't. He thinks and thinks. Ah, here is the society novel style: Helen Van Mustard came down the steps of Mrs. Gallashin's house in the Seventies, near the park, with compressed lips but cloudy eyes. "Home, Julius," she said, as she stepped into her limousine, and as, the will appointed machine flew along the avenue, barely within the limits of the law, she wondered dumbly how she was going to right herself with her recent hostess. Helen felt convinced that the Countess Szigzkowski had cheated, but how to prove it? No, that won't do. There are no over-moneyed people in Jones' work, spending twice as much as they've got. Once upon a time there was— Ridiculous. It sounds too much like a fairy story. Going to the other extreme suddenly, Jones conceives this start: The thousands and thousands of coincidents which occur in the daily lives of the present century, toller infallibly lead to the conclusion that what we term accident or chance is really only— Hang it! That leads nowhere. By this time Jones has almost forgotten what his story is about. Well, he must concentrate his mind. Let him think. There's a man and a woman who marry and who separate immediately afterward. Why? Now, why? Oh, yes, because they must meet again twenty years later in order to threaten ruin to the lives of the hero and heroine, one of whom is the child of the woman by a subsequent marriage and the other the child of the man by a subsequent and bigamous marriage. And the point is—the point is—well, what is the point? The point might be several things, but Jones hasn't got that far yet. All Jones wants to do is to begin his story, but he can't decide whether to begin with the marriage of the parents or the lovemaking of the youngsters and go backward when he's in the middle of the narrative. He might start this way: Esther yawned and threw down her book. The hammock felt uncomfortable to her shoulders and she wished life held more novelty for her. Oh for the mediaeval days of glory when knights came riding up from the East and threw down gauntlets. Oh for the— Jones Legan to get nervous himself now. One more try: . . . "Well, forn' newly married couple them two is the most businesslike parties as ever I seen," muttered the sertion as he watched the ceremony from the rear of the church. "He thought of the blushing brides and the eager bridegrooms who had stood up before the Rev. Amos Daingerfield during the last fourteen years of the latter's incumbency of the! Suddenly there was a muffled cry and a dark flash through the air. Jones had lost his reason and thrown the bottle of ink at himself.—From the New York.Sun. GHOST ANSWERS 'PHONE. Quercer Shade Delivers Messages After Church is Locked. Old St. Paul's Church, headquarters of the Protestant Episcopal City Mission, has a ghost. It is an eccentric shade which whisks up stairways and disappears into nothingness, but it is also up to date. When the office force has departed and the quiet old building on Third street is secure against intruders with stout locks and bolts the ghost answers the telephone, which conduct is so utterly foreign to the popular conception of ghosts' abilities that it has dumbfounded Rev. H. Cresson McHenry and his assistants. On two occasions the strange visitor has, answered the 'phone when the office force was absent and the building locked. Its answers, although briefly made, have indicated that the ghost is well acquainted with the movements of the staff. The shade informed a friend of Mr. McHenry that he "had just left the mission," and to Mrs. George Sommerer, wife of one of Mr. McHenry's assistants, it imparted the information that her husband "would be home to supper." Both persons who conversed with the unknown occupant of the mission declare that its voice was modulated to the softest tones. Mr. McHenry saw the ghost on July 4th. The office force had a holiday, but Mr. McHenry visited the church to open his mail. As he was unlocking the iron gatts at the entrance to the churchyard he glanced up at one of the windows and was astonished to see what appeared to be a man standing on the stairway inside the building. The stairway leads from the offices of the City Mission in the basement to the church auditorium. As Mr. McHenry opened the gate the figure gilded rapidly up the stairway, disappearing from view. The minister entered the church, locked the door behind him to prevent the escape of the intruder and searched the entire church from cellar to roof. He failed to find any trace of the visitor. Every door and window was locked securely and the desks untouched.—Chicago Tribune. Knew What He Was Doing. For once the American had discovered something British that was better than anything that could be produced "across the pond." His discovery was a fine colle dog, and he at once tried to induce its owner, an old shepherd, to sell it. "Wad ye be takin' him to America?" inquired the old Scot. "Yes, I guess so," said the Yankee. "I thought it muckle," said the shepherd. "I couldn' part wi' Jock." But while they sat and chatted an English tourist came up, and to him the shepherd sold the collie for much less than the American had offered. "You told me you wouldn't sell him," said the Yankee, when the purchaser had departed. "Na," replied the Scot, "I said I couldna pairt wi' him, Jock'll be back in a day or so, but he couldna swim the Atlantic." — Detroit Free Press. Roads and the R. F. D. Notice is being sent out from the Postoffice Department to many rural communities that unless roads are repaired and placed in condition for uninterrupted service during the year the rural service will be discontinued. This is work for good roads that will doubtless have a wide and wholesome effect. The rural mall service has become so much a part of the farmer's life as to be regarded as a necessity, and he isn't likely to let it lapse for the sake of a little time and energy needed in road building.—Atchison Globe: The kind, old lady noticed a small lad entering a cobblest with a small package. "What have you there, sonny?" she asked Windy. "Ma's slipper," replied the lad, "you see, there is a tack out of place in it; and I want to have it fixed before ma notices it." "Ah, what a considerate little boy! I suppose you are afraid the tack might hurt your mother's foot?" "Well, it isn't exactly that. You see, the tack its sticking out on the sole; and this is the slipper ma spanks me with."—Chicago News. Defense of the Top Hat. Its doom has been pronounced, but it defends itself. The top hat is not much more ugly than another hat. And, above all, it is not uglier than the rest of our masculine costume. It has its peculiar qualities; it requires to be taken care of. The soft hat does not exercise our will; it lets us go, and it is wrong. Honor to the eight or ten reflections which are the last safeguard, or very nearly, of individual energy in the civilized states. —Journal des Debats, Paris. Timely Fashion Hints THE LACE BLOUSE New York City.—Such a pretty coat as this one cannot fall to find its welcome. It is 'jaunty and chic yet 1 absolutely simple withal, and involves no difficulties in the making. THE LADY OF THE WORLD It is cut with 'sleeves' and coat portions in one, but in the later manner, which means snug fit under the arms. It can be finished with ornamental laps at the darts or with genuine pocketts as liked and is adapted to all suiting materials, while also it makes an excellent model for the light weight separate wrap. In the illustration light brown serge is trimmed with foulard and bands of taffeta such combinations being greatly in vogue just now, but almost any contrasting material can be used for collar and cuffs, and braid and banding of the material are equally correct as a finish. Two big buttons at the front make a feature, and are exceedingly handsome. The coat is made with fronts, back, side-backs and under-arm gores. The under-arm gores are extended to form the under portions of the sleeves, so allowing graceful lines and doing away with fulness at that point. Roll-over cuffs finish the sleeve edges and a roll-over collar completes the neck. Hats That Are Becoming. The hat to get is straw of a becoming shape. The big natural rough straw sailors rolled up at one side are the best, although black and white chip are both chosen. Study the Profile. There is probably no other one point that makes so great a difference in one's appearance as becoming dressing of the hair, therefore it is worth while to study the profile and general outline of the head before adopting a new style. More Grace Required. Of course every woman who desires to wear the sheath skirt will practice and practice to make herself more graceful, but will she feel repaid? Embroidery For Lingerie. The indy colored embroideries are being used for lingerie hats to accompany frocks in which the same embroidery appear. Lorgnette Chains. The new fan. or lorgnette chains are exceedingly pretty, and one design in French gilt, set with groups of stones or mock jewels, such as coral, jade, topaz and lapis lazuli is particularly effective. At the same price there are long, slender chains of gilt, and gun metal ornamented with rhinestones set so that they look like a string of dewdrops. Seven Gored Skirt. The seven gored skirt is always a graceful, and attractive one, and this model has the advantage of including the very latest features of the season. It is laid in two pleats at each seam, which provide just sufficient fulness for grace, and it can be closed either at the left of the front with ornamental 'buttons' or invisibly at the back as liked. It is adapted to linen, to serge, to mohair, to all skirting and to all quitting materials, but as illustrated is made of Panama cloth finished with tailor stitching. The skirt is cut in seven gores. The pleats effectually conceal the seams THE LACE SLEEVES and are stitched flat well below the hips. It can be made either in walking length, adapted to the street, or in the graceful round one that is so well liked for indoor wear. The quantity of material required for the medium size is nine and ```markdown ``` three-quarter yards twenty-four, or twenty-seven, five and one-half yards forty-four on fifty-two inches wide. Girdles. Hand embroidered linen girdles, with the work all 'done in soft, pale colors, are 'seen. They are fastened invisibly with 'hooks and eyes, making the girdle appear as though it had no opening. This gives the waist a round' and youthful effect. Graceful Collar The collar that curves high at the back is much more graceful than that which projects up among the roots of the hair in two sharp points. NEW WORK FOR GIRLS; COLLEGE TO FIT THEM Women-Needed to Head Big Institutions Will Be Trained at Columbia--Building Fully Equipped--New Addition to Teachers' College Will Afford Students of Domestic Science Every Advantage. When the new School of Domestic Economics now being erected as part of Teachers' College, at Amsterdam avenue and 121st street, is finished it will present a most complete equipment for work of this character, announces the New York Times. against the food served bound; to produce a chan than this, there are hund sittions in hospitals and o tutions open to women training. The establishment taurants in the public sch The hall will house the three branches of domestic instruction now carried on in the Teachers' College greatly hampered by lack of room. The courses to be given come under the headings of Domestic Science, Domestic Arts, and Institutional Economies. At Columbia now only one feature of this last department is under way, the courses in Hospital Economies, but with the new plant the scope of work will be enlarged. There are now ninety students of Domestic Science, sixty of the Domestic Arts, and fifteen in the hospital course, but even this number cannot be accommodated with laboratories, and difficulty is encountered even in arranging lecture room assignments. The point of departure, wherein the School of Domestic Economies at Teachers' College will be superior to similar courses offered at many like institutions, will be the continual emphasis on preparation for institutional work. This change of base is due to the complaints coming back from all parts of the country to the different schools of domestic science, whose graduates have gone to fill positions in large hospitals, schools or other institutions. A typical stricture from a hospital is, "You do not train your pupils to deal with large quantities. When we put them in positions of responsibility they are simply swamped for the first six months, merely by the numbers. The woman in charge of Marshall Field's restaurant told an officer of Teachers' College: 'I cannot use your graduates in my work,' where we serve thousands daily, until they have had experience in handling large quantities.' Hitherto domestic science courses have not had the requisite equipment for such training and the experimenting has all been done on an individual or a family scale. To meet this valid objection the new building at Columbia has been planned in all its details to give the students just this necessary opportunity for working on a larger scale, which will add. to the practical value of the training. The plant is to accommodate 500 pupils, and although it will not be ready for use until a year from this coming fall, a sufficient number of applications and queries has already been received to show that there will be no lack of students when the building is completed. The structure, fye stories and basement, is to face an inner court, and will be the north side of a future quadrangle. Entrance from the street will be through a gateway, topped by a square, tower somewhat resembling that at Magdalen College, Oxford. All the architectural elaborations will be reserved for this inner court. The basement will be devoted to a locker room, where the 500 cooks may change their caps and aprons for gymnasium suits, and the large lundry laboratory. This is to have all the machinery of a regulation commercial steam laundry, and is considered an important part of institutional training. "Any hospital or dormitory of any size nowadays has its own laundry," said Benjamin Andrews, secretary of Teachers' College, "and any woman in charge has got to be able to understand it." Besides learning the true inwardness of the washwheel and extractor, the students are expected to solve the problem of doing quick work with a minimum of chemical assistance. It is hoped that the graduate will be able to operate a steam laundry, with all the speed of the strictly commercial, but without the disastrous effects of its bleaches. In addition, the girls are to study hand laundry work with a view to seeing how much labor-saving machinery may be practically adopted in the home. The main floor is to be given over to the offices, the reading room, and lecture room, and on the second comes the three large laboratories for the domestic science experimenting, which will be the pride of the college. The most novel is that for "cooking in large quantities." This will be equipped with a small model hotel apparatus, including the hotel range, the steam boilers and cookers, the steam serving table, the dish-warming closets and dishwashing machines, said Mr. Andrews. Each student will have several opportunities in a term to purchase, cook, and serve meals for at least thirty persons, with occasional practice in dealing with much larger numbers. With the model hotel kitchen goes the demonstration dining room, and next to this a special cooking laboratory for compounding now recipes. This "large quantity apparatus" is the chief point of vantage which the Columbia School of Domestic Economics will have over its rivals, and its particular use will be in developing the study of Institutional Economics. "The time is coming," explained Mr. Andrews, "when the matron of every college dormitory will be required to have such training." The universal complaint of all students against the food served them is bound to produce a change. More than this, there are hundreds of positions in hospitals and other institutions open to women with this training. The establishment of restaurants in the public schools gives another field right inside the school system. The third floor turns from science to art, and there are placed the laboratories for all the needed arts. The studios for designing, on which great stress is laid, are located on the north side of the top floor, with dormer windows in each room to supply the desired lighting for art work. Laboratories for chemical analysis of food, and two for "household chemistry" occupy the fourth floor. Here the girls will study the science of nutrition, and also the value of different cleansing substances, of heating and lighting material. On the top floor is located the textile laboratory, where elementary weaving will be taught, not from the commercial point of view as in the Philadelphia 6r Lowell School, but from the consumers'. The graduates will know the wearing qualities of various materials, of the lasting powers of certain weaves, after chemical and microscopic examination of different materials. "This is of real practical value," the secretarysaid, "for at least twelve per cent. of a family income goes for the purchase of textiles, and an untrained buyer has no protection against cloth adulterations, which are as plenty as the much-discussed food adulterations." for all this thorough training there is certainly a considerable outlay. The expenses are naturally, heavy. Outside of laboratory fees, the expenses for a study year of thirty-eight weeks are averaged at $580. This does not include an out of town student's carfares to and fro, any provision for the Christmas and Easter vacations, or for the girl's wardrobe or personal expenses. Laboratory fees for the domestic science course come to over $30, while the "extras" for domestic art amount to $77, not counting two millinery courses, where the students provide their own materials, but all finished work is the property of its maker. While this seems to make the cost for such training rather high, it was explained that some students in the domestic courses cut the expenses far below this by practicing their culinary art for themselves. Frequently a group of three or four girls doing this work take a small apartment and do their own cooking and caretaking, thereby reducing the price of board and lodging to from $5 to $8 a week. Many also are their own laudresses, making another considerable saving. As this is only so much practice work along the line of their future work, this economy comes easier to them than to the student in a strictly classical course. Strange Capture of a Salmon. Fishing-a well known river in Norway this June, one of the tenants of the fishing lodge opposite ours caught a fish of twenty-nine pounds in the morning and lost another, his spinning line being broken by the rush of a heavy fish. Fishing with prawn the afternoon of the same day, the same angler, in the same pool, got into a good fish at his first cast. After a long fight the fish was gaffed and lanced. Then was revealed a strange state of things. The prawn tackle had never touched the fish; in fact the hooks were a foot or more from it. They had caught in the cast which had been lost that morning, and was now twisted into knots and tangles, no doubt-by-the salmon endeavoring to get rid of the treble Norsk cast and hooks. The line, had been got rid of. As the prawn swung down the pool it had grappled the lost cast still attached to the salmon, and fish (thirty-three pounds), cast, and tackle were recovered. We watched the incident from the road, and crossing the river handled the recovered cast. Many maintain that salmon once hooked and played, for any length of time leaved the pool.—W. H. in London Field. The Practical Spitor. Senator Kean, at a dinner in Chicago, said of a political maneuver: "I smell a rat in this contract. It reminds me of a contract made by a wily earl: "Lord Reginald Bareacres courted ardently last year the daughter of a New Jersey millionaire. At a seasonable moment, in a dim conservatory, he laid his heart at the young girl's feet. She, however, belong of a rare type, spurned him. "Rising to his feet, Lord Reginald said: "I have bared to you the most sacred feelings of my inmost heart. May I ask that you will never reveal to a living soul what has passed between us? "I am not a gossip, Lord Reginald, the girl answered haughtily. "But promise me, he said. 'Give me your solemn promise.' "I promise," she said. "But why, Lord Reginald, are you so persistent." "Because," he answered, sighing with relief. "I purpose to-morrow, to turn my attention to your older sister." "Washington Star." FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: JAMES S. SHERMAN, OF NEW YORK. Capt. Lyon's 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 arising 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 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, 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 poll. J. W. LYONS. Sept. 1908. RALLY against disfranchisement next week, and ask your white friends to vote with you against it. On the Negro question Judge Taft is orthodox and is all that any well thinking colored man can expect. His recent utterances in this respect coupled with past record, make him a suitable candidate for us to vote for President: ONE of our Baptist ministers went for those colored men who declare that they will vote against the Republican ticket, without gloves, and told his congregation just how to treat them. This is right; shell the woods for the democratic Negroes who are trying to kiss the hands that are smiling them. It is surprising that more of our farmers in this county do not cultivate more hay and grain than they do. Many of these same men prefer coming to the city and purchase hay and grain rather than raising them. Acrees of land are lying idle that could be made profitable in this respect. Let our colored farmers bestir themselves and raise on their farm at least enough hay and grain for home consumption, and if possible for the market. THE "Smart Set" management took advantage of the colored citizens who attended the play last Monday, it is stated by many. On the lower floor it is said the whites were only charged seventy-five cents for tickets, while in the balcony for several rows, the colored patrons had to pay one dollar. This is surely charging the colored people for the privilege of going in the balcony and some of them take pleasure in being thus fleeced. It is better to stay away. THE public schools were reopened this week. The saddest part was the turning away of hundreds of our children who cannot get seats on account of the limited accommodation for them. While we commend our white citizens for their commodious and modern school buildings, we can not but feel jealous that our children are not nearly as well cared for. Will not the Board of Education hearken to our cry and fill a part of our educational wants? Our heart was made to feel sad during the week when it was noted that a large number of the churches and school houses of our people were burned on Saturday last in Southwest Georgia and especially because the authorities made, not the slightest effort to apprehend the guilty parties. Not even has the Governor offered reward for the dastardly actors in this wanton deed. - It is bad enough to burn the houses of our people, but when the cowards put the torch to churches and school houses, they have reached the limit. We are glad that we fully believe that "God moves-in a mysterious way" and at sometime the guilty will be punished. Wednesday. October 27th. The above date will ever be a memorable one for the colored citizens of Georgia, especially that class that are loyal to the race. On this date the state election takes place. The disfranchisement law will be passed upon by the voters. 'This measure has much to do with the well being of our people. Every registered voter should be at the polls early in order to cast his ballot against disfranchisement.' Be sure that you are on time and be sure that you vote against disfranchisement. The African Alphabet The African Alphabet There is in use on the West Coast of Africa, a system of writing of natives which is said to be successfully competing with English writing. It is called the Vai language and was invented by Doalu Bukere, assisted by five of his friends. That such a language exists was discovered by Lieutenant Commander F. E. Forbes of H.M.S. Bonetta, when actively engaged on the West Coast in the suppression of the slave trade. The characters resemble the Egyptian hieroglyphics, but the tongue is said to be a harmonious one, relatively easy to pronounce and with a grammar that is reasonable and far from difficult. It is being more and more used in West Africa and will probably become the dominant form of native speech in Liberia and adjacent countries.—Monroe N. Work in the Southern Workman. From Yonkers; R. Y. On Thursday evening Mrs. Mendez entertained a number of young people at her home, 382 Riverdale Avenue. It was a jolly party which assembled, and the evening was spent in much fun and pleasure. The chief features of the entertainment were games and music. Mrs. Mary R. Jones and Miss Geneva L. Stiles of Savannah, Ga., discoursing sweet strains of music on the piano throughout the entire evening. After many long hours had been spent in the above mirthful entertainment, the party marched into the dining room and spent another hour in enjoying the sumptuous repast, which had been made ready for us by propituous hands. The party broke up in the very small hours of the morning, and everybody went home in high spirit, after showering thanks upon the hostess for making possible so extraordinary an evening of entertainment and pleasure. Among those in attendance were Miss Roberta J. Dunbar, organizer of the North Eastern Federation of Women's Clubs; Messrs. Russel Hunt and David Fraser of New York, Miss Geneva L. Stiles of Savannah, Ga., Mr. C. S. Evans; editor of The Progressive Inquirer; Miss Lillian C. Reynolds, Mrs. May Reynolds Jones, Miss Elizabeth Mickens and Miss Silby College of New Bedford, Mass. -Yonkers Exchange. The final tournament of mixed doubles for the season was played in Central Park, New York City, between Miss Lillian C. Reynolds and Russell Hunt and Miss Geneva L. Stiles of Savannah, Ga., and David Fraser; Miss Lillian C. Reynolds and Russell Hunt and Mrs. May R. Jones and David Fraser; and C. S. Evans and Mrs. May R. Jones and Russell Hunt and Miss Lillian Reynolds. The games were witnessed by hundreds of spectators, and lasted from 2 o'clock p. m. to 6:20 o'clock p. m. Among those witnessing the tournament were Mr. and Mr. Stiles of New York. Mr. Stiles is a brother of Miss Geneva L. Stiles of Savannah, who is now visiting Miss Lillian C. Reynolds.

American Missionary Association to Meet The 62nd annual meeting of the American Missionary Association which will be held in the Central Congregational church October 20-22nd, is receiving careful and thorough preparation by the Congregational churches of Galesburg and Knox college, under whose auspices the gathering will be held. The meeting of the association which is the next of importance to that of the national council among the Congregational church is arousing considerable interest among the churches over the United States and especially in the middle west. The attendance promises to be the largest in the history of the organization, due greatly to the central location of Galesburg with its epiloidid railroad service. A splendid program is being planned. President Henry Churchill King of Oberlin College, will deliver the annual address on Tuesday evening, Oct. 20th, On Wednesday, Oct. 21st, some of the foremost men and women on the Mission fields will present interesting and inspiring themes. The work of our Congregational demonstration in the South with the Mission fields will be presented and the Island territories will be represented on this program. Probably the most complete industrial exhibit from these fields which ever been presented, will be on exhibition at this meeting. The departments of Manual Training and Domestic Science will receive special attention and be demonstrated by native students and helpers. Probably the best colored quartet in the country, known as the Fisk University Quartet, will special music be rendered by the choir of 100 voices and an excellent quartet which serve Central church. It is sincerely hoped that every church will plan to elect its delegates early, each church being entitled to be represented by the pastor and two delegates. Complimentary to the Easter and Officers The late of the University Baptist Church being the priest, the noble way in which the deacons managed the church for the last twelve months that on last Monday night, Sept. 28, they complimented the pastor, deacons and their guests with a social. The committee selected three officers to make the necessary arrangements. The officers were Mrs. Dolly Roberson, Chairman; Mrs. Carrie Simmons, Manager, Mrs. F. A. Merchlom, Secretary. The sisters were asked to donate dishes of anything suitable. So liberal did they respond, that the committee was taxed to find a place for the different articles of food that were brought. Some of the cakes and dishes of food were so pretty that it seemed almost impossible for human hands to prepare them. Yet it was a fact that they had been prepared by the professional cooks of our church. Everybody donated something. The decorated room was as beautifully decorated with lighted Japanese lantens and other decorations that made everything cheerful. The dining table was set in the center of the room. The beautiful white table linen, the property of Mrs. Dolly Roberson, was so beautifully laundered that it presented the appearance of a snow bank. This too was the work of our professional laudresses. The table was decorated with cut flowers and large dishes of fruit. When everything was ready, the Secretary asked a committee of ladies to go into the church and escort our guests to supper. Miss Riley of Brownville played a march. The long line was headed by Mrs. Jula Butler and our pastor, Rev Daniel Wright. Arriving at the table, Rev. J. M. Simms asked the blessing and told the guests to proceed. A supper consisting of everything that could be known or mentioned was served, then lemonade and the cake, locust cake, and the milk and the dessert consisting of fruit. During the serving of the several courses, Rev. Wright acted as toast, master. He called the different speakers and gave each his subject as he arose to speak. Llc. Riley was asked to say a word on "What will he do in it?" He left no doubt in the minds of his hearers as to what he was going to do with it. Llc. John Roberson was given "How is he enjoying himself?" He hardly had time to talk, but he gave us to understand that he was so much elated that he would be smiling for months when he goes back to New York. Deacon Bowen was given "Why should we complain of poverty when we look on such a table?" He claimed that there was no such thing as poverty, because the sisters of the First Bryan Baptist Church had erased from the dictionary any mention of the Fist A. B. Church was asked to tell "Why don't the Baptist churches display more union than they do?" That in 1908 he attended a convention in Hawkinsville and that there was an old lady in the audience who was asked to make a speech. The old lady arose and said, "I cannot make a speech, but I must say. I am glad to be here and look into the faces of so many good looking gentlemen." He said that he was just like the old lady, and not only glad to look into the faces of so many good looking gentlemen, but glad also to look into the faces of so many good looking ladies. He said that he was only too sorry that he did not know about the subject before, because there was much he could say about it. He said, "When he get more people to bow their knees to their prayers to heaven, then we shall unite in Baptist churches. I have attended banquets, but have never seen one so artistically arranged as this. Your pastor is my friend and always shall be. I met him in the lodge room several years ago when I did not know so much about God. It was his duty to offer prayers. The prayer so touched me that I marked him and have found him a great Christian gentleman." We feel that deacon Gilmore is one of us. Deacon Hosea Green spoke his sentiments as to how pleased he was about everything. Deacon Jones was given, "What he thinks of us," he said that he "had been, in the church-thirty-six years and he had never seen a revival carried on." Deacon Jones cons you stay together, and keep the church together. I cannot find words to to tell how much I do think of you.” Deacon Wicks said, I have served under three pastors and not tired yet. I have had my ups and downs but I am determined to go on. Licentate Rhett of the First A. B. Church, said the people of the First Bryan Baptist Church will be followed by others. This is the time when we should look to our homes. You kept your ranks unbroken and God has blessed you and given you a leader from among you I know that you shall prosper. Deacon Wicks said with him.” Deacon Sinfield “said he was in the army thirty years and has never seen such a success Deacon H. B. Wright was asked to thank the committee. The pastor asked the committee to rise. The ladies with their badges of maiden ferns tied with illac ribbon arose. Deacon Wright said “We thank you, your effort will never be forgotten; it will make us better men and more anxious to do our duty.” Some think that deacons have an easy position but it is a mistake. There are not as many robes in our pathway as you think There is no limit to our work. Your effort will make us better officers in the church. All arose and sang God’s blessing we weeded aloud.” By the effort of the pastor quits neat purse has been raised that will be divided equally among the deacons on Sunday night. Come down I assure you a hearty welcome from the pulpit to the door. Visitors are always welcome. Rey. Daniel Wright, pastor; Mrs. Dolly Robertson, Chairman; Mrs. Carlie Slimmons, Manager; Mrs. F. A. Merchlison Secretary. St. Benedict's Church. Next Sunday October 4th, the winter services will be resumed. The first mass will be 7 a.m. During the mass the children of St Benedict's home, under the direction of a Franciscan-Sister, will sing devotional hymns. The second mass which is a high mass, will be celebrated at 10.30 a.m. St Benedict's choir, which has done such splendid work in the past, will continue to enhance with its beautiful music the solemnity of the Catholic ceremonies. Under the personal supervision of the pastor, who is a great expert in and a great lover of sacred music, the choir will give during the coming year a rich selection of beautiful masses and of inspiring church hymns. This sacred music is certainly one of the most, at the highest levels, of its solemn and inspiring melodies not only charms the ear but they speak to the heart. The subject of the morning service will generally be taken from the gospel which is read during mass, and will be preached by one of the priests attached to St Benedict's church. Sunday school will take place at 4 p. m. and will be taught by the Franciscan Nuns. All colored children are welcome. Evening exections at 8 p. m. They consist in the recitation of the Holy Rosary, Sermon and benediction of the most Blessed Sacrament. The evening sermon will be a practical instruction on the dogmatic and moral teaching of the Catholic church and will prove interesting not only to the Catholic members but also to all non-Catholics, who will always be welcome at St. Benedic'ts Church. Happenings of Bethel A. M. E. Church. Sunday was our fourth quarterly conference. The reports were all grand, the stewards made the leading report of any previous quarter. Stewardesses and auxiliaries retained the usual standing. The business meeting was held as usual on Friday night. Sunday was devoted to religious services. P. E. Taylor was at his best Sunday at 11 a.m. His sermon was simple yet thoughtful and full of power. At 3 p. m. the funeral of Sister Rosa Stephen, one of the pillows of Bethel took place. Pastor B. S. Hannah officiated, assisted by Dr. Drury, P. E. Slister Stephen was a good woman and was loved by everybody that knew her. As a church worker she had few equals and perhaps no superior. Sunday night the Presiding Elder went to finish a quarterly meeting elsewhere and therefore the pastor was left to finish up the day's work. At 5 p. m. the pastor preached on this subject, "The final victory of the church" at the conclusion one came over and joined the victorious side. Tomorrow will be holy communion day let all Christians find themselves at the Lord's table. Only two more weeks before the 'Annual Conference, let each member pay in their dollar money at once. We led Savannah last year considering our numerical force, why not lead again. St. Philip Dots The inclement weather did not seem to keep our members and friends from hearing Rev. Lindsay's discourse on last Sunday. Only two weeks more and the Annual Conference will convene at Fitzgerald Ga.

Smith a rousing reception on next Wednesday night of next week at the Monumental Church. The fourth quarterly conference of St. Philip church will be held on next Friday October 9.

Wallace, one of St. Philip's old and retired members was buried from St. Philip. Tuesdays and noon, Bro. Wallace joined the church under the pastorate of the late Rev. H, L.

[Picture of a woman with a large afro hairstyle, wearing a white dress with a high collar.] It is with no little gratification that we chronicle in this week's issue of our paper, the superbly-grand "opening" of the Buchanan Millinery establishment right here in our midst. That the display of fancy bonnets and up-to-date styles were equal to that of any caterer in the city, is the expression of every one who attended the "Grand Opening" of this exquisitely kept millinery store. Madam Buchanan is an artist at her trade and her display of beautiful headwear for ladies will convince the most technical that. gonish has not choice of color or creed, and lingers as frequently in the environments of the Negro as in that of the white man if activity suited to the exigency is evident. Happily for the proprietor of this bulwark of Negro ingenuity, these requisites blend, throwing the burden of proof to the contrary upon those whose patronage is solicited. And the public is not unmindful of the grace of her demeanor, her characteristic kindness, her lack of ostentation and her perfect exquisiteness of taste. As a consequence the people are rallying to her support, and, basing calculations upon past indications, we venture the prediction that an enlargement of departments will be necessary within the next few months. Although, realizing the fact that engaging in a strictly millinery business is distinctively a new, venture among color ed people, Madam Buthanana shies her castor in this unexplored field, reckoning of success solely upon the merit of labor. With her, merit is the only reasonable base upon which one can justly demand patronage, and this we affirm, is the philosophy of successful endeavor. She craves not patronage solely because of her racial identity; but rather upon the real worth of the articles offered in exchange for cash. But the open manifestations of the trend of popular thought regarding the situation of the Negro in America, should not be overlooked by the public in the distribution of their patronage. If the Negro means to occupy a position in the commercial arena of the nation, he must build up a base upon which to stand and contend in the nation's open mart. Millinery establishments, banks, dry goods stores and every other business of which the Negro buys must be established, conducted and patronized by Negroes. It is race pride to do so, race pride, therefore is race patronage, and unless we, as a race, break the ban of custom and cleave closer, one to the other, in every honest endeavor, we cannot hope to build up a social, economic or commercial people. Madam Buchanan's stock in trade is open to examination, and, courteous to the core, she finds delight in adding sociality to business, thereby refuting the erroneous, allegation that success swells the head of a colored person. It is said that, he who would have friends must show himself friendly. The truth of this statement has long since received universal endorsement. It is, however, just as true that he who would have patronage must patronize. The proprietor of the establishment here commented upon can be pointed out as a patron of any concern conducted by colored men, and being practically new in our midst sists a pace for veteran dealers in various commodities to follow. Possessed of a noticeable amount of feminine modesty, Mrs. Buchanan does not allow it to curb her bushiness inclinations. This grace embellishes her conduct as relates to those with whom she deals, and the patron secures the essence of this virtue along with article purchased. The business off Mrs. Buchanan is here to stay and the good patriotic citizens of all classes and creeds residing hereabout will rally to the support of the most up-to-date establishment of the kind in the state.

A peculiar contrivance, termed a soap holding devil's, is a recent invention of a Chicago man. Its extremely simple construction is shown in the accompanying illustration. It comprises a supporting arm, to which is suspended a chain and clamp, car- THE LABORATORY rying a cake of soap. Obviously the supporting arm is attached to the washbasin so that the suspended cake of soap will be directly over the water. The supporting arm is not stationary, but is pivoted, in order that the soap can be dipped down into the water when necessary. The sanitary advantages of this soap-holder will be apparent at once. It does away with the ordinary slimy receptacle employed for holding the soap. The soap hangs in a position of best advantage to the user. Soap of any description can be used, as the supporting pin can easily be pushed into position.—Washington Star. Adventurous Life in India.'

Practical Sympathy. A gentleman was one day relating to a Quaker a tale of deep distress and concluded by saying: "I could not but feel for him."

Largest Rock-Crusher The largest rock-crusher in the world was recently thrown into operation in a cement mill at South Pittsburg, Tenn., and it crushes all the rock used by a 4000-barrel plant. The machine has an hourly capacity of 800 tons and sixty per cent. of the product is in pieces four inches or less and thirty per cent. in pieces two inches or less. The crusher is nineteen feet in height and weighs 425,000 pounds. The operation of this machine alone requires twenty-nine horse power. Unique Garment Hanger. A garment hanger for men's apparel somewhat different from any herefofore patented has been designed by a Connecticut man. In the majority of such devices now on the market little or no provision is made for supporting the trousers properly, the main idea being to take care only of the coat. In the-garment hanger shown in the accompanying illustration an extra attachment is added to support the trousers. The latter are attached to the trousers in an exceedingly unique manner. Curved inwardly from the ends of the hanger are small loops, which are designed T to clamp on the suspender buttons on 'the trousers. The latter are in this way held in an extended position, eliminating the possibility of becoming creased or soiled when hung in the crowded closet or wardrobe.—Washington Star. AL OR SARCASTIC? Too Oblions. The Farm Drainage of Soils. Drainage permits of earlier crops and a larger proportion of air, warmth and moisture in the soil. Drainage benefits the land also by affording a ready outlet for all excess of water, thereby preventing stagnation and removing a source of evil. The bad effects produced by an excess of water—all of which are, of course, removed by drainage—may be enumerated at length. One evil produced is the consequent diminution in the quantity of air within it, which air is of the greatest consequence, not only in promoting the chemical changes requisite for the preparation of the food for plants, but likewise to the roots themselves. Excess of water injures the soil by diminishing its temperature in summer and increasing it in winter—a transposition of nature most hurful to perennials, because the vigor of a plant in spring depends greatly upon the lowness of temperature to which it has been subjected during winter (within certain limits), as the difference of temperature between winter and spring is the exciting cause of the ascent of the sap. The presence of a large quantity of water in the soil also alters the result of putrefaction, by which some substances are formed which are useless to plants. An increase in the proportion of moisture in soils has a powerful effect upon its saline constituents, by which many changes are produced diametrically opposite to those that take place in soil where the water is much less in quantity; and in this way the good effects of many valuable constituents are greatly diminished, as for instance, the action of carbonic acid upon lime and green materials, and gypsum upon carbonate of ammonia. The proportion of plant foods available in the soil for the use of crops is largely influenced by drainage and the amount of surplus water in the soil. The directions of the currents which occur in wet soils are entirely altered by drainage; in undrained soil are altogether from below upward—being produced by the force of evaporation at the surface—consequently the sponges of the plants are supplied with undesirable subsoll water; but when the land is drained the currents are from the surface to the drains, and the roots are, consequently, supplied with fresh aerated water. Drainage increases the absorption of carbonic acid; also the atmospheric supply of food, and creates a tendency in the plant to produce leaves possessing a different structure from those which the same plant produces in dry situations. Another important point is that on land that has been drained the system of subsolling can be adopted with tenfold advantage, which is an object of the highest importance, for there is no doubt that the use of the subsoll plow has been satisfactory on almost all soils, having been found as valuable on light lands with rententive bottoms as upon those of a more compact and stiffer surface, rendering soils drier in wet weather and more moist during a season of drought. That a tenacious and impervious subsoll must be relieved from the water collected and retained on its surface before the earth can be fitted for the growth of vegetable matter has been most clearly and satisfactorily ascertained. The best mode of effecting this object may be a question, but it is probable that under-draining with tiles will be found the most economical method. A cold soil is never capable of producing profitable crops. An excess of water in the soil, in addition to its injury to the soil, also produces a constant dampness of the atmosphere, which has been shown to be injurious to plants, especially by diminishing evaporation, thus rendering the process of assimilation slower, and in some sections and on certain farms malaria results; in fact, there is every reason to believe that surface water, which is for the most part stagnant, is by far the most injurious, because in this manner the currents produced during the heat of summer—namely, the period at which vegetation should be most active—will of necessity be entirely from below upwards, being produced by the evaporation of the water upon the surface of the soil, the consequence being that 'the roots of the plants, instead of being-supplied with water charged with the valuable plants foods, will be supplied with water which has existed so long in the soil that it will have lost these vegetable ingredients, and will, moreover, be charged with excrementitious matters. No system of drainage can diminish the quantity of water which a soil receives; it can only affect the quantity which it retains and prevent stagnation by allowing it to escape freely that continual currents are produced so long as any excess of water remains. Drainage will not fall to pay a percentage upon the cost far greater than many other investments, as that land which has been reclaimed by drainage will oftentimes require no manuring for years, the herbage, too, being of a peculiarly different species from that hitherto produced, as well as being far more nutritious.—Phila; delphia Record. Good Horse Flesh. The chest in all breeds of horses should be wide, deep and round, and thighs well inclined to the rear. These conditions are necessary to ensure efficient breathing capacity and staying power. The lower line of the chest towards the abdomen should be nearly horizontal to the groin. Any undue in climation upward of this line is an indication of water of power of endurance. The abdomen interface, horses should be round, and not too full. Too large an abdomen seriously interferes with speed, by exciting an undue pressure on the lungs, and thereby affecting the breathing capacity. Where speed is not required, this part of the body may be more fully developed. The back and loins of all horses should be short on first thought, a long book gives us the impression that such a condition is conducive to speed; but on reflection it is found that such is not the case. Undue lengths of back and loins are generally associated with soft, "herring-gutted" animals, and necessitates the expenditure of much more muscular energy in raising the forequarters than when the distance from the withers to the croup is short. The top line should incline shortly towards the croup, and, passing over this part, should continue, in a gentle downward sweep to the tail. Short back and loins are also necessary where weight-carrying power is required. The loins should be short, flat and broad. A slight convexity might be admitted, but a tendency to roach and hollow backs should be carefully guarded against. Breadth of lion is a very important point in all classes of horses, for it is over this region that the strongest and most powerful muscle in the body is situated—the long, broad muscle which extends from the pelvic bones to the last three or four bones of the neck, and the action of which is responsible for the rising of the fore part in galloping, jumping and reading, and for lifting the hind quarters during the action of kicking. We have already noticed the bones and tendons of the leg from the knee and hock down to the ground. Suffice it to say that, in proportion to the kind of work the horse has to perform, so should the size and shape of these appendages be regulated—W. T. C., in the American Cultivator. Bowel Diseases of Poultry. Sometimes it happens that diarrhoe occurs in flocks where the management has been good, and at once the difficulty is diagnosed by the farmer or poultryman as cholera, or some other contagious disease that may be unknown. The cause is usually the free use of very watery green food. When rye, grass, tender weeds and other bulky foods are largely consumed by the fowls the result may be a laxative effect, but this occurs mostly when the green food is very young at which stage of growth it contains a large proportion of water and very little solid matter. The effect is more readily noticeable when the birds have had but little green food, being kept during the winter and spring on a grain diet. The remedy for the difficulty mentioned is to confine the birds in their yards for a few days, feeding them twice a day on a ration of ten parts cornmeal, two parts sifted ground oats and one part fine bran, adding a gill of linedse meal and a teaspoonful of salt to every quart, cooking the whole as bread.—Weekly Witness. The Bug Nuisance. Dr. H. T. Fernald, of the Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment College, says that five-fifths of all the living creatures of the globe are insects, and that not more than one out of ten is friendly to man. He estimates that $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 worth of damage is annually wrought by insects, and that known means of protection, properly used, could prevent about two-thirds of this loss. He is, therefore, impressing the necessity of a close study by all classes of people of this question, with the hope of saving forests, shade trees and crops. Not to Be Continued. According to J. E.-Wing, unless one is certain that his lambs will go early to market, say an age of not exceeding three months, he had better dock them. Tails are unnecessary appendages to a modern sheep and are apt to get fouled. A ducked lamb has a square look and seems fatter than one with a tail. What blood goes to nourish a useless tail would add to the growth of the body, no doubt. Weekly Witness. To Get Rid of the Groundhog. There is practically 'but-one cure.

POPULAR SCIENCE An effective method of treating leprosy, especially the nervous variety, has been found by Professor Deycke in a substance which he has called nastin. As a result of investigation by officials of the Signal Corps, airships may be used to aid in the wireless telegraph service of the Government. They may also be called into use against smugglers who may try to carry on operations in flying machines. A noted Belgian bacteriologist, Dr. Leon Bertrand, claims that he has discovered a much more powerful serum as a cure for pneumonia than that now in use. It is a bactericidal, not an antitoxic agent. In the manufacture of alcohol from peat a Danish company, with one experimental plant in Denmark and one in France, has found the cost to be about one-fourth of that made from potatoes. Undoubtedly the Jungfrau Railway is the most remarkable railway in the world, even in its unfinished state. Its projector, Herr Guyer-Zeller, according to the Captain, was not an engineer, but a financier. The story goes that he was enjoying a stroll down the mountain path which leads from the Schilthorn to Murren, and that in the course of it, with the Jungfrau steadily in the front, the inspiration suddenly came to him to scale the majestic peak with a railway. An improved apparatus has been made by Dr. Fritz Lang, of Munich, by which the inside of the stomach can be clearly photographed. HUNTING WILD HORSES. A Favorite Sport in New South Wales —How the Animals Are Broken. Whether "brumby" is a survival of the aboriginal name for a wild horse or a corruption of "unbranded" appears to be a question which philologists have left undecided, but brumby hunting is still a favorite sport in New South Wales. Districts like the Clarence and Stephens' and Manning River watershed are still the home of numerous droves of brumbles, and hunting them is declared to be a very exhilarating pastime. The first step taken is to stake out a corral and make all secure out a narrow entrance, which can subsequently be gated. On either side of the entrance and projecting from it funnelwise a "booby fence" is prepared. To the simple minded brumby it presumably looks like a stockade, and pieces of flittering cotton make it look impregnable. When this is ready the young bloods, well mounted, gallop out and round up the wild horses, driving them with shouts and much loud snapping of stock whips toward the mouth of the funnel. In a group of brumbies there is always a leader, and when once the hunters have got the leader heading for the corral they are pretty certain of the rest of the drove. The flittering cotton rags of the sham fence are sufficient to determine the brumbies from breaking through the filmy barriers, and in less time than it takes to tell the wild horses are safely corralled and the big gate shut on them. Then they are left for four and twenty hours without food and water to reflect on the situation, and after that they can be broken in without much difficulty.—London Standard. Fountain of Soap Bubbles. "One of the most novel and fascinating sights among all the fascinations of the Franco-British Exhibition is the soap bubble fountain in the British Hall of Textile and Chemical Industries. The fountain consists of a double basin surmounted by a graceful figure; concealed under the base is an electric motor, air blast and pump; the first drives the two latter, which force soapy water through a pipe connected with eighty-seven different outlets, each one of which emits thousands and, thousands of bubbles, which in ever changing hues fall like a kaleidoscopic cascade round the base. In the daytime it is a marvelous sight, but at night, when innumerable electric lights beneath the bubbles are, turned on, it is the most dazzling scene possible, and; borrowing an expression from the "Arabian Nights," one might most aptly speak of it as the "fountain of a thousand jewels," so sparkling, so radiant is the effect.—The Gentlewoman. Story of the Newbury Coat Buckland Hall, Berkshire, which was offered for sale at Tokenhouse yard, was built at the beginning of the eighteenth century. A former owner won fame on account of a singular wager he made. It was that he would sit down at dinner at 8 o'clock in the evening in a coat which was a growing fleece at 5 o'clock the same morning. The wager was taken. Two sheep were shorn, and the fleeces were submitted to all the necessary treatment, and at night he sat down to dinner in a damson colored coat with about 160 minutes to spire. The coat and the articles used in the various processes to insure its completion are still preserved, the garment now being known as the Newbury coat.—London Standard. 100 HON. GEORGE W. HONEY Hon.

The slip is not how warm we make seats, or how ludid we sing or how vehemently we pray. The final testing is the testing of service. Do you work as you pray? Do you warm hearts as well as benches? Do you make souls as rejoices? Do you regard yourself not as your brother's keeper so much as your brother's brother? Are you true to Christ? Have you keenness to serve the King? "Why call ye Me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" The question is as timely and applicable as it was, when it was proponed.

His word is truth or it is nonsense. His gospel is either the supreme philosophy of life or the quintessence of silliness. He is either to be followed or not to be followed. If He is to lead we must do His will. He is a captain whose commands are commendable and practicable or an untrustworthy leader to obey whom is the sheerest senselessness. There is no middle ground. Christ is a wise man the eternal wisdom of God. He is a man endowed with a visionary; a religious leader beyond compare, or the most illogical and fatastic enthusiast who ever lived. The church of the living Christ through near 2000 years has proclaimed Him the incarnate mind of God, the glorious embodiment of the eternal wisdom, the supernal leader, the only true guide, the mentor of the mind as the Saviour of the soul of man. Saints have sung of His beauty, philosophers have yielded homage to the purity and profundity of His thought, sages have reveled in His wisdom, martyrs have died for Him. We have declared Him Alpha and (mega, the beginning and the end, the ultimate both as to inception and finality. And yet we fall to practice His truth, to apply His principles, to obey His mandates, to trust His word, to live the life that He counsels as the only life that eternally is worth the while. We elevate Him upon a pedestal of dominating prominence, and then we laugh at Him. We join His church, and then we mkrepresent-Him. We swear fealty under His control, and then we desert Him in every hour of the test. And then we wonder why men of the world have no use for ecclesiasticism, though they cheer the Christ. We are amazed at the paltriness of the church's grip as an organized institution upon humanity compared with what it ought to be; while the sweep of the influence of Jesus is becoming universal. We are astounded that in an age when the Lord of Life receives greater homage than ever in the reach of years, the church of the Lord—the organized body that bears His name—is being weighed in the balance of intelligent criticism and declared wanting. But it is not strange. Too long have you cried, "Lord, Lord." The world demands performance as well as protestations. It tires of the plattitudinous. It expects men who profess to love the good to be something more than plious. For the piousness of the day is almost synonymous with the most dangerous implouisness. Bad men have a suspicion that bad men will be bad. They expect good men to be good. They detest plious talk and a plious mien that gets no further than words and loos. And they are right. Laodiclean Christianity is as traitorous as it is inefficient. It denies in which it professes to believe. It betrays its Lord with a kiss. The world has no use for it and we ought to have none. A world that could contemplate it with equanimity wouldn't be worth saving. What shall we say of a church which too largely practices it? Poo much have we cried, "Lord, Lord," Jesus says, "Ye are My friends if ye do whatsoever I command you. Have we done His will? I say: Loor, loor; enemies; bless them that curse you; him that takeh them away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also." And Jesus practiced His proclamations. He was the friend of God. He did the will of the Father. They crucified Him. He besought forgiveness for His persecutors. And yet in a land blessed as is ours with the heritage of twenty centuries of Christian teaching, cultured and controlled under the gospel of Jesus, the best theory of peace that we can practice is that which bids us to be prepared for war. The very church which sings the praises of the prince of peace is strangely silent before the militarism of our age. Preparedness for war has yet to be proven a guarantee of peace. Indeed it has been quite otherwise. It has been effective more severely. It is purely expedient and never final in theory or in practice. Jesus' way is a better way. If all the armaments of the world were wrecked there would be a surer guarantee of peace than there is to-day and greater prosperity. Jesus' theories have never had an honest opportunity to prove their worth. Those that have been tried, however little, have revealed the wisdom of the Lord. Where nations have ceased to war and have brought their difficulties to the bar of divinely guided counsel there have they found the best results. The individual who follows in the footsteps of his Saviour and forgets injury, forgives injustice, requites good for evil, may seem impractical, but he is the happiest as the most honored among the sons of men. The man who submits to persecution while his trust remains in God may lose his head; he will not lose his soul. External forces cannot steal away that life eternal which is the gift of God. The church must either follow Christ or it must cease to be. The reason for its existence is resident in its recognition of His authority. The secret of its ancient power lay in its willingness to do His will. And as the guiding spirit in a larger era gives her visions of wider ministry and impulse to a service the like of which she has never known she must move on with fidelity and fervor or be discredited and disowned. The church is not the kingdom save as the church labors for the consummation of the kingdom. It is an end in itself. It is a means to the end. It is the trouble has been and is that we have mistaken the theology for Christianity, the organization for the life, the membership roll for the test of membership. Quite otherwise is the mind of Christ. The test of member- sillips not how-warm we make seats, or how-loud we sing, or how-vehemently we pray. The final testing is the testing of service. Do you work as you pray? Do you warm hearts as well as benches? Do you make souls to resolve? Do you regard yourself not as your brother's keeper so much as your brother's brother? Are you true to Christ? Have you keenness to serve the King? "Why call ye Me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" The question is as timely and applicable as it was when it was propounded. For there never has been a time when the church more largely was cognizant of the ineffectualness of lp service and convinced of the need for resultful and helpful labor than she is to-day. The Protestant church is in danger of becoming priest-ridden—the worst that can befall the organization of the church; ridden with a priesthood shorn of compulsory authority and in whom the authority of the Christ is too precariously admitted to reside. The laity of Protestantism are too largely guilt of-hiring men to do their work for them—at salaries on the average that are an insult to the Lord whose work they send their employees to do—rather than of calling leaders whose business it shall be to direct the energies, rebuke the sins, vitalize the virtues, clarify the thought, inspire the minds, intensify the spiritual conceptions and perceptions of the sons of God who are members of the church of Christ. The church of Christ is full of men and women who have their names on it or in a poorer reason than that it is politic or proper polite or profitable socially and commercially so to be enlisted. And the consequence is that enthusiasm has gone out of the most of the meetings of the church, the gatherings for prayer are generally so dry and cold and uninteresting that they are a distress to earnest pastors and a reflection not only upon the intelligence and spiritual experience, but also upon the gratitude of the church. The reason for this is not far to seek. The laity, and not infrequently the clergy, have been so busy seeking material success that they have had no time to serve the Lord after the manner of the Master. The dollar has supplied so many wants that men have ceased to feel the pressing need for spiritual supplies. It has been declared impossible for a nation to believe Christ, disarm and be preserved against the rapacious agressions of the armed. Business men have declared it impossible to allow a nation to suffer scandal. The Jews have done, till very lately, in the management of criminals has been to jail or execute them. The spirit of the lex talionis—the lowest law of Judalism—is rampant in the settlement of disputes between nations and nations, society and its members, individuals and their fellows. We have forgotten the God of life in the excellency of our livings. We have prayed for reforms that we have neither advanced, expected or desired: We have thanked God for the might of His power while fearful to trust His sufficiency against the onslaught of Satan. We have talked brotherhood and practiced an individualism and that we have no need for aught but joy, and strife where co-operation would more thoroughly fulfil the plans of God, by and with the consent—tact, or active—of the church. The situation cannot endure. The church must reform or reillipish her claim to primacy and to the privileges of leadership. Saying "Lord, Lord," will make her acceptable neither to coming generations nor to her bridegroom. Vain repetitions are valueless to produce results. Action only is qualified to transmute ideas into achievements. To do His work we must do His will. Jesus gives us a picture of the end of the institution or the man guilty of lip-service or of lukewarm adherence to the propagation of the truth. "Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of My Father." He forecasts the fate of those insincere and paltry Christians who stand before Jehovah at the great assize. "It is to be hoped that Jesus' picture will not prove a photograph of us. It is not necessary that it should. We shall be recreant and without excuse if it shall so prove to be. No man and no church need call upon the Lord in vain. He who hath called us and upon whom we call is both willing and able to perform through us effective service for the welfare and the salvation of individuals and the race. God summons us in Christ to supreme labor. He provides contemporaneously the power necessary to succeed. He energizes and verifies and inspires and enthouses every soul and every society that with high desire and dedicated purpose calls upon His name. Not "Lord, Lord," but "Lord, here am I, send me," "What wilt Thou have me to do?" Emotion is the Bud. Emotion has no value in the Christian system save as it stands connected with right conduct as the cause of it. Emotion is the bud, not the flower, and never is it of value until it expands into a flower. Every religious sentiment, every act of devotion which does not produce a corresponding elevation of life, is worse than useless; it is absolutely pernicious, because it ministers to self-deception and tends to lower the line of personal morals.—W. H. H. Murray. The Work of the Spirit. The great work of the Holy Spirit, what is it? To make Christ present with us. Look at the disciples; they loved Him, but they were under the power of the flesh. The rulr of the flesh had not been broken, and Christ could not get a lodgment in their hearts; but He said, the Holy Spirit will come, and I will come again to you (in the Spirit) and the Father and I will take up Our abode with you. The Spirit's work is revealing God and Christ in our very hearts.—Andrew Murray. He is All in All. God is all to thee; if thou be hungry, He is bread; if thirsty, He is water; if in darkness, He is light; if naked, He is a robe of immortality;—Sf. Augustine.

She expressed a desire to meet the champion, and one of her companions quickly arranged the matter with Nelson's second or third assistant business manager. "Battling Nelson—Countess Exe.

PRISONERS TO BE PARDONED Those Evincing a Desire to Reform Will Be Released and Offered Every Inducement To Do So. Atlanta, Ga.—Hereafter the inmate of the Georgia penitentiary, who shows a disposition to reform, will be offered every inducement and encouragement to do so. Believing that better results in the reformation of criminals will be secured by releasing a good prisoner, while holding over him the unexpired term of his sentence, the legislature, at the recent extra session, adopted the parole bill offered by Mr. Persons of Monroe A bill, which was the basis of the present Georgia law, was introduced at the extra session called to consider the convict question. It was unanimously adopted. As soon as the prison commission can make the necessary arrangements it will be put into effect. The law opens the door of hope to convicted criminals. It provides that after serving the minimum sentence fixed by law they may be sent out among free men. After a year's promotion and observance of the terms of their parole, they will be granted full pardons and restored to citizenship. It places, upon the prison commission the duty of inquiring very carefully into the record of any prisoner, before the commission of the crime of which convicted, and his record in prison. If the whole board should become convinced that a man might again become a useful and productive member of society, they may grant him a conditional pardon. The prisoner must show that he will be given employment at honest labor, and will have a good home, or, if unable to work, that he will not become an object of public charity. During the term of his parole he must not leave the state, but must make regular reports to the commission. If a man breaks the terms of his parole, he will be returned to prison, and forced to serve the remainder of the term for which he was originally sentenced. An order by the commission for the arrest of a paroled prisoner becomes a legal warrant, and must be enforced by any police officer. Providing the prisoner justifies the belief of the commission, he will, at the end of twelve months, receive a full pardon from the governor. The law does not apply to persons convicted of treason, arson, rape or assault with intent to rape. It was the intention of its author to have it apply to those convicted of other crimes which led to life sentences. In such cases ten years was specified as the minimum term of service. tentiary 745 life-term men. There are 238 prisoners in for twenty years, 138 for fifteen years, 301 for ten years and 295 for five years. While there are 176 men in the Georgia penitentiary over 50 years of age, the men who have spent the longest time in prison are not the old men. A great-number of men who were sent up in their eighteenth or twentieth year have served twenty or thirty years in the pen. The men of 60, 70 and 80 years of age have, in most instances, served much shorter sentences. Convinced that the men who have served a life time of twenty or thirty years for crimes committed in the years of their youth deserve an opportunity to make a new start in life, MAIL CARRIER ABSCONDED. Government Seizes Big Plantation to Satisfy Claim. Washington, Ga.-The plantation of H. L. Aycock, a prominent farmer of this county, has been levied on by a United States deputy marshal to satisfy a claim which the government has against Aycock as a result of a bond forfelture of $1,500. Four years ago Aycock in connection with his neighbor, W. G. Barrett, went on the bond of A. H. Evans, a rural free delivery mail carrier from Washington to the little village of Peerman. Evans carried the mail on this route for some time, and then sub-let the contract to a Mr. Beckwith. Beckwith became involved in some trouble and 'skipped the country.' Now the government authorities have come back on Aycock for the amount of the original bond under which Evans worked, as the bondsman of Beckwith is now dead. REPURLIGANS.NAME ELECTORS. Robert J.

"A conservative estimate of the total yield is 1,300,000 bales, as against 2,100,000 bales last year." According to Commissioner Hudson's statement the decrease for the year will be 800,000 bales, and estimated at $50 a bale, the loss in money will reach $40,000,000. J. Gordon Cranford of Valdosta who was nominated at the June primary as one of the representatives in the next legislature from Lowndes county, has resigned the nomination. Mr. Cranford states that his business arrangements will not allow him to accept the place and give if the attention that it demands. A number of citizens have signified their intention of running for the place Mr. Cranford has resigned. Believing that Georgia's agricultural school law is a good one to copy after, E. C. Gaines, recently elected to the Texas legislature, has determined to introduce a similar measure. He wrote to C. S. Barrett, president of the Farmers' union, for information and Mr. Barrett turned the letter over to the commissioner of agriculture. A copy of the law will be sent him with a report of what is being done in Georgia along this line. In reply to an inquiry lodged with Mayor Dunbar of Augusta by a committee from the general flood relief committee, asking if there was no employment for those left idle by the flood, an announcement has been made by the Riverside mills that work will be given there to all who apply, up to several hundred.

The first man to apply X-rays to surgery in England was burned so badly that he has already lost one arm—will probably lose the other and has suffered intense pain for five years. Of course, the effect of the sun-rays is not so sudden or violent, for there is less power in them when they reach the human body than there is in those other rays. But they are like the mills of the gods—working slowly, but with certainty. Man's natural protection against the ultra-spectral sun rays is the skin pigment. The man whose natural habitat is tropical has the proper amount of pigment to prevent the sun rays from injuring him.
