TAFT IS ELECTED PRESIDENT While Ohio Went for Taft, Judson Harmon is Elected Governor. There Was a Tremendous Slump in the Republican Vote Except in a Few Eastern States—Missouri Has Returned to the "Solid South." Parties and Candidates. Indiana, which was claimed by both parties, gave Mr. Taft about 18,000 plurality. Democratic. Bryan and Kern Republican. Taft and Sherman Independent. Hisgen and Graves Iowa, which gave Mr. Roosevelt Prohibitionist. Chafin and Watkins 158,000 plurality in 1904, dropped down to about 40,000 for Mr. Taft. Socialist. Debs and Hanford Populist. Watson and Williams Some of the figures relating to the republican slump in certain states regarded as certainly republican, are little short of amazing. Pennsylvania's immense plurality of over 500,000 four years ago has been cut in two, illi The republican ticket of Taft and Sherman practically swept the country although results, show a falling off of the republican vote of four years ago. Nevertheless, they had enough votes to place practically all the so-called doubtful states on the republican side in the electoral college and place their candidate in the white house. William Jennings Bryan, the peerless leader, for the third time failed to realize the ambition of himself and the democratic party, but he went down in glory after one of the most brilliant and cleanest campaigns ever waged before the American people [Name] M. Several states that gave pluralities for Roosevelt four years ago were carried by the democrats. Missouri gave Bryan and Kern a plurality, thereby returning to the "solid south." This state gave Mr. Roosevelt 25,000 plurality in 1904. The great fight of the campaign was made in New York state and Taft and Sherman won it by about 200,000 plurality. President Roosevelt's plurality was 175,000 in New York four years ago. Massachusetts and New Jersey also gave Mr. Taft larger pluralities than was received by the president. Mr. Taft carried New York city by about 11,000 plurality, this being the first time cratic nominees for elected.

SHELJAN. the city has given its votes to a republican presidential candidate since 1896, when Mr. McKinley had a small plurality. Ohio had an immense ballot which made the vote from this state slow in coming in, but Mr. Taft's plurality is close to 75,000 votes. Indiana, which was claimed by both parties, gave Mr. Taft about 18,000 plurality. Iowa, which gave Mr. Roosevelt 158,000 plurality in 1904, dropped down to about 40,000 for Mr. Taft. Some of the figures relating to the republican slump in certain states regarded, as certainly republican, are little short of amazing. Pennsylvania's immense plurality of over 500,000 four years ago has been cut in two. Illinois, which gave Mr. Roosevelt 305,000 plurality in 1804, gave Mr. Taft about 170,000 plurality. The republican plurality fell off heavily in the middle west, a matter thoroughly surprising to the republicans, and several democratic governors were elected in these states that gave their presidential vote to Mr. Taft. Mr. Bryan carried Nebraska, his home state, by a small plurality. Florida gave a democratic plurality of about 60,000. In Mississippi Mr. Bryan's plurality is about 50,000. All eight democratic nominees for congress were elected. Louisiana gave a democratic plurality of about 40,000. All seven demo- 0 cratic nominees for congress were elected. There was a shrinkage in the democratic vote in Virginia, Mr. Bryan's plurality being 20,000 votes. Slemp, republican, defeated Byars democrat, for congress from the ninth district. All other democratic candidates were elected. Washington gave Mr. Taft about 40,000 plurality and the state republican ticket was elected Complete returns from the state of Vermont give Taft: 39,592, Bryan 11,688 and Hisgen 179; Taft's plurality is 27,904. Four years ago Roosevelt had 40,677, and Parker, 9,800; a republican plurality of 30,677. The prohibition vote this year shows a gain for the entire state of 45 votes over four years ago. Both state and national democratic tickets in Texas were elected by the usual democratic plurality. Taft and Sherman carried Wisconsin with a plurality estimated at 75,000, and Governor Davidson, republican, was re-elected by a safe plurality close to Taft's. Republicans have elected nine out of eleven congressmen. Kentucky went safely for Mr. Bryan by about 13,000 votes; nine and possibly ten democratic congressmen elected; a republican loss of two seats—this is the state of the election in Kentucky at the close of a day, which was marked by the 'polling of the largest vote in the history of the state. In the fifth district (Louisville) Taft was victorious by a plurality of 478, with one precinct, missing. Sufficient returns have been received to indicate with certainty the election of democrats to congress in all of Kentucky's eleven districts, except the ninth and eleventh. In. Georgia Mr. Bryan's plurality will be about 30,000 votes. Mr. Taft carried ten counties. Thomas E. Watson carried seven counties. The Hisgen and Graves vote throughout the state was small. The independence party candidate did not carry a single county. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. In Kansas the republican state ticket, headed by Mr. Walter R. Stubbs, was elected by about 23,000 votes, and Mr. Taft's plurality did a few thousand more. Nine democratic congressmen were elected in Alabama; the proposed constitutional amendment providing for the formation of new counties, and the biennial sessions amendment were defeated; the good roads amendment carried. The normal democratic majority has been maintained. More than fifty per cent of the ballots in Colorado were scratched. All over the state local issues influenced the voters, and this accounts for the scratching. Taft's indicated plurality. In Delaware is 3,000, and the republican state ticket, headed by Simeon S. "Dennewell, for governor, and William H. Heald, for congress, is elected by about the same plurality, with the exception that Davis, republican candidate for attorney general, is probably defecated by Andrew C. Gray, democrat. The successful candidate is a GOVERNOR HUGHES, OF New York. son of Judge George Gray, and the popularity of his father counted very strongly for Lim in all three of the counties. The republicans swept the state of Connecticut as completely, perhaps a little more so, than four years ago. Taft carrying the state by more than 30,000 plurality and Congressman Geo. L. Lilley, the republican candidate for governor, going to office by about 9,000 plurality over Judge A. Heaton Robertson. All the five congressmen are republicans by pluralities equal to those of two years ago. The entire republican state ticket is elected as usual, while the general assembly is more strongly republican than for a good many years. Mr. Bryan carried Arkansas by a reduced majority as a result of a heavy negro vote throughout the state; All democratic congressmen were elected. California gave Taft and Sherman about 60,000 plurality. Taft and Sherman carried Iowa by a plurality of about 50,000. This is a tremendous falling off from the Roosevelt plurality of 158,000 of four years ago. The entire republican state ticket is elected, probably by about the same plurality. Governor Cummins carried the republican senatorial primary over Major J. F. Lacey by a plurality of 40,000 to 50,000, a tremendous gain from last June, when he was defeated by Allison by 11,000. The entire delegation in congress will be republican, a gain of one over two years ago. Rhode Island gave Mr. Taft a much less plurality than Mr. Roosevelt four years ago. Nevada was carried by Mr. Bryan by about 3,000 plurality. Oklahoma continued loyal to the democratic party, but the majority was reduced materially and Mr Bryan's lead is estimated at only 25. an's lead is *estimated at only 25-* four democrats and one republican, 11 THE MUSEUM OF THE WORLD'S FINEST ART WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. were re-elected. The legislature is two-thirds democratic, insuring the election of United States Senator Thomas P. Gore. Bryan's majority in Tennessee is about equal to that of Parker four years ago, something over 26,000. The democratic state ticket is elected by from 20,000 to 25,000. The congressional delegation remains unchanged, as to complexion, eight democrats and two republicans. Scattering returns of South Dakota result, although positive pluralities were impressions of the state, but try, were included in and the same ratio give a plurality for president in his hom land, Cincinnati, Tolc are included in the fift in all the Taft vote Taft received slightly normal republican pli to fifty thousand indicate that Taft has carried the state by 45,000. The republicans have elected, their, entire state ticket. There is slight reduction from the democratic majority of two years ago in North Carolina. The figures will be about 40,000 majority for the democrats. Oregon gave Mr. Taft a 25,000 plurality. Montana state and national plurality was democratic. Michigan gave Mr. Taft about 100, 000 plurality. Maine gave 81,500 plurality for Taft and Sherman. New Hampshire was carried by Mr. Taft by about 20,000 plurality. Taft's plurality in New Jersey will probably exceed that of Roosevelt in 2004, which was 80,000. William H. Taft, for president, and Eben S. Draper, republican candidate for governor, carried Massachusetts. The former by about 120,000, and the latter by about 160,000. Practically no change is made in the complexion of the national house of representatives. The United States senate retains its present republican majority. The first returns received were from the scattering districts in Massachusetts. The heavy pluralities indicated there for Mr. Taft seemed at once to dissipate any probability of a "landslide" for Mr. Bryan, as many democrats had claimed, and the republican managers at once began to put out claims of victory. For governor of New York, Charles F. Hughes was elected over Mr. Chanler, by about 260,000 plurality. The vote in Greater New York for Mr. Chanler was deeply disappointing to his friends, while the healthy vote for Mr. Taft, especially in the borough of Brooklyn, completely/ellipsoid the most sanguine hopes of the republicans. Governor Hughes was cut heavily up the state, but not so deeply as to imperil his election, once the drift in his favor below the Bronx had begun to make itself felt. It had been predicted for days that Eric county' New York, including the very heavy vote of Buffalo, might be taken as an index to the drift throughout the country. This proved to be the case, so far as the national ticket was concerned, Mr. Taft having a plurality of something more than 4,000 JOHN W. KERN. votes. Erie county, surprisingly, however, gave Chandler a plurality of more than 2,000. The opponents of Governor Hughes were quick to claim a sweeping victory, but returns from the other large counties and cities soon changed the complexion of the returns completely. Hisgen, the independent party candidate, received about 28,000 votes in Greater New York. Joseph G. Cannon has been re-elected to congress from Illinois by a majority of between 6,000 and 7,000. Notwithstanding the meagerness of the early returns from Ohio, they seemed to give a fair indication of the ```markdown ``` result, although positive statements of pluralities were impossible. All sections of the state, both city-and country, were included in the first returns, and the same ratio continued would give a plurality for Judge Taft for president in his home state. Cleveland, Clincinnati, Toledo and Dayton are included in the first reports, and in all the Taft vote was very sheavy. Taft received slightly more than a normal republican plurality of close to fifty thousand, while Harris, re- publican candidate for governor, was defeated by Harmon, democrat, by over 15,000. A radical change in Indiana's representation in the national house of representatives was one of the most striking features of the election. The unofficial returns, complete, give the democratic party eleven members and the republicans two. This is a gain of seven members for the democrats, the former representation, being nine republicans and four democratic members. In the face of unofficial returns Taft carried Maryland by but 136 votes. Neither side is content with these figures, and the official count must be awaited. Baltimore city voted: Taft, 50,852; Bryan, 49,952. Chairman Mack's Statement. Chairman Mack expressed his strong belief that Mr. Bryan would not be a candidate for the presidency again. "I do not believe that Mr. Bryan will again be the candidate of the democratic party for president," he said. "Should the legislature be democratic in Nebraska when a vacancy occurs in that state, as will be the case in the fall, I belaye Mr. Bryan will be selected to fill the office of senator." Mr. Mack was asked if he thought the south would be recognized in the next national convention and permitted to name a candidate from that section of the country. "The most available man will be nominated," he replied, "irrespective of whether he comes from the north or the south, the east or the west. Everything will depend upon his availability, and other conditions, of course, which will develop in the next four years." Mr. Mack had no comment to make about the labor vote and said he did not believe Tammany Hall had been unfaithful to Mr. Bryan and the rest of the ticket. With reference to the result of the election and the plans of the democratic party, Mr. Mack said: "There is not much for me to say, and I have no apologies to make relative to the victory of the republican party. Mr. Bryan made the most magnificent fight ever waged by a candidate. The party was made the victim of misrepresentation—a misrepresentation that democratic success would retard the business interests; that was, of course, an argument without foundation in fact. Notwithstanding yesterday's defeat, the democratic party stands more united today than it has in many years, and in this union lies its future strength and power of recuperation. "It is my intention to continue headquarters in Buffalo and Washington for the next four years, to keep in touch with the leaders of all the states, and promulgate democratic principles and democratic thought by the printing of literature to aid the leaders of the party in fighting the high tariff, which, in all probability the republicans will continue, notwithstanding their promises to revise it. I am supported in this by the members of the national committee, state chairmen and other leaders all over the country. "In his own state, Nebraska, where he is best known, Mr. Bryan was victorious. While it is true that he met with defeat in the nation, he did so as the candidate of his party supported by the six million or seven million of his countrymen who voted for him and his principles he so splendidly espoused and with the respect and admiration of the entire nation." Mr. Bryan's Statement. While not caring to discuss at this time the political effect of the democratic victory in his home state or analyze the causes, William Jennings Bryan, in an informal talk to a number of friends who called on him, expressed his pleasure at the result in Nebraska and the satisfaction it afforded him to learn of the election of so many of his political and personal friends. A delegation numbering nearly a hundred from Lincoln, visited Mr. Bryan at Fairview to express to him their confidence and devotion, and to assure him that such was the sentiment of a majority of the people of his city and state. Mr. Bryan. in responding, said; I 'am highly gratified over the results in this state. The national defeat has not been such a disappointment when we have had so many things to console us. I hope I have convinced my friends that running for office has only been an incident to my work. My heart has never been set on holding office, but I wanted to do certain works and it looked as though the presidency might offer the opportunity to do that work. I am sure that in private life I can have the chance to do something. One is not required to hold office in order to do big things—one is simply required to do those things within his reach, and that much is within the reach of each of us. "Personally, I shall find, as much joy being out of office if the returns show I must be, as I would be in office. I appreciate very much the confidence and loyalty of the people hear us. It has been the greatest comfort that the election has given us. The fact that those among whom we have shown this confidence we appreciate more than I can tell you. It has been very kind in you to come out here and visit us on this day." The defeat he sustained did not seem to weigh heavily on Mr. Bryan. He was one of the most cheerful of those at his home, and laughed and joked good-natured with his visitors. He has no other immediate plans than to rest at his home, following his canvass. The indications are that the following votes will be cast in electoral college for Taft. In this table Missouri is placed in the Brynn column, but the complete returns may possibly transfer the eighteen votes of the state to the Taft list. 0 Taft, Bryan.

At midnight Tuesday a street demonstration, which had been making merry downtown in Cincinnati, reached the Taft residence. The candidate responded to the concert of brass bands and red fire and went out, on the porch to find the entire street blocked with a shouting throng. "After expressing his deep appreciation of the affection shown him by his friends and neighbors in the demonstration, Judge Taft said the election had been a most important one, and he hoped and believed would prove to be wholly in the interest of the whole country in promoting a return of prosperity. "Now, my friends, if as I say, these returns are confirmed by a, decisive republican victory, if the congress and the executive shall be republican, I say that so far as I can pledge to you my energy and all the ability that in me lies shall be used to make the next administration a worthy successor of that of Theodore Rosevelt, and beyond that I claim nothing higher." The speech-was received with the greatest enthusiasm, which continued for some time thereafter. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society BOL. C. JOHNSON, Supt. of Ageno Treasury of State of Georgia.

Australia wants a visit from a British battleship fleet equal in power to the American fleet which has just visited that country. The Malaysian rubber output in the first four months of this year was 965,180 tons, an increase of 367,270 tons over the corresponding period of 1907. In the first three months of 1908 the Federated Malay States had a tin output of 13,227 tons, an increase of 2240 pounds each over the first quarter of 1907. In 1907-08 British India imported $454,670,085 worth of merchandise ($64,000,000 increase over 1906-07) and exported $577,957,323 worth ($1,000,000 increase over 1906-07). After fourteen years' operation the $80 shares of Hsieh Chang (China) match factory are worth $640 each. The capital of the company is $40,000. Of the 600 workers 400 are women. China is very particular that the quality of the foreign goods it buys shall be fully up to sample, but pays very promptly for what it does buy. A Chinese merchant's word is as,good as his bond. Korea, with a population of 20,000,000, consumes 840,000,000 cigarettes yearly, of which Japan supplies 40,000,000 monthly. The balance is made largely of Virginia leaf tobacco at Shanghai and in the United States and England. The following story is told of President Lincoln: Some of his friends had just returned from the west, and were describing to him the beauties of a certain stream which they saw in their travels. "I do not know the Indian name," said one, "but in England it means 'weeping water.'" "Well," reasoned the president, "Longfellow called, Laughing Water Minnle Haha; therefore, I would call the stream, Weeping Water, Minnle Boohco." Sometimes a hard-headed man is the softest hearted. One has to hear much that one classes as unbearable.

DEFEGTS OF WARSHIPS Newport Conference Substantia fed Capt. Keyes. Charges. SECRETS ARE MADE PUBLIC Conference. Decided That Very Few Defects Could Be Remedied. In the North Dakota and Daleware. Washington, D. C.—In view of the order of the secretary of war revolting against prohibition, the recently placed against officers who attended the Newport conference from discussing its action, an officer who was prominently identified with the entire proceedings of the conference, has stated that it had substantiated the charges of defects pointed out in Commander Keyes' letter on that subject with a few minor exceptions. This office has been foremost in his denunciation of naval defects. The conference decided, he stated, that very few of these defects could be remedied in the North Dakota and Daware, which are now 40 per cent completed, but suggested that if practicable, additional case armor of about 100 tons be placed around the smoke pipe and up-tikes to protect them against splinters. The armor now being five inches—the additional armor would increase the protection to eight minds. They recommended that it practicable, an additional fire control must be placed forward of the smoky stacks so that in case the vision from the near must be obscured by smoke, a clear view could be secured from the oncoming fire. The conference also hesitated about making extensive changes in the plans of the Florida and Utah, as the plans of those vessels required five or six months for their preparation and any change that would involve a change of weight to any considerable extent would require reconstruction of the plans. As now designed the two aft turrets on the Florida and Utah type are on the same level, and it was proposed if practicable to raise the second turret from aft, so as to allow it to fire over the aft turret. This is proposed because in the event of the aft turret as now designed being disabled in certain positions, the firing from the second turret would be limited. The weight so added to the second turret from aft could be counter-balanced by lowering the middle turret. On the important subject of what ought to be the type of the next battleships to be designed, the kind of battery they should carry and their armor, the conference has not yet made a decision. CORSETS COMMENDED BY DOCTOR. Women Are Told That Their Torso Muscles Need Support. Los Angeles, Cal.-Dr. L. E. Landone, whose plan to improve the human race by applying Luther Burbank's theories in the training of children by selection, has brought considerable attention from the scientific world, commends the modern corset. Addressing the members of the Hundred Year Club, the leading woman's organization of Los Angeles, he said: "Corsets—the sort worn today, are good for the reason that the torso muscles have been weakened for generations until now the average female form will not stand without them. "In the time of Queen Elizabeth, continued Landone, "they were steel corsets tightly buckled in back and front. They were instruments of torture. From them are evolved the comfortable corsets of today. I doubt if the torso muscles of women could be supported in their weakened condition after a generation of corset-wearing except for some artificial prop." 2 CHECK TREASURY BOOKS. Million in Vaults To Be Counted By Experts. Experts. New York City.—Following the resignation of Hamilton Fish as assistant treasurer of the United States, in charge of the sub-treasury here, a corps of bookkeepers under the direction of United States Treasurer Treat have begun checking over the books' of the office. The counting of the cash in the valuits will be taken up as soon as the checking of the books has been completed. There is in the valuits approximately $173,000,000 in gold coin, $17,000,000 in currency and $80,000,000 in silver coin, and all of this must be counted and verified piece by piece. The work will probably require at least a month. The counting is only done when an assistant treasurer leaves the office. Mr. Fish resigned as assistant treasurer in order to accept a nomination for congress. USE SAND AS FERTILIZER. Rancher Says It Increases the Fertility of the Soil. Spokane, Wash.—Frank Rose, a rancher in Columbia county, south of Spokane, is experimenting with sand as a fertilizer of clay soil, and the result is being watched with interest by his neighbors as well—the heads of state agricultural colleges in the northwest. The purpose of the sand, which is being spread over the land where there is clay, is to increase the fertility of the soil, Mr. Rose tried this in a small way last fall, and he says the results in larger and better crops were such as to warrant him in extending the sand mixture over his entire holdinga.

The chancellor described the note from 'von Jenisch', which accompanied the manuscript, 'as referring to the enclosure an article, not as an interview, so that, the chancellor did not consider it necessary to give, if his personal attention. The manuscript consisted of a number of small, fissely-like sheets, the handwriting being liffunt, to decipher, and the chancellor referred it to Herr, von Mueller, the minister at the Hague, who was acting as 'the chancellor's private secretary. The latter, in his turn, and without examining, the document, sent, it to the foreign offices, where, in the absence of Herr von Schlenk, the secretary for foreign affairs, it was read by subordinate officials who did not attach importance to its contents, and returned through the proper channels without further examination until transmitted by one of the imperial secretaries of England; where, as the Taglicha Rundschau, one of the newspapers that is read in court, aristocratic and military circles, describes it "emerged gaily" into the world, infuriating the French, Russians, Dutch and Japanese, chilling the British, exciting bitterness, and neryous irritation on the part of our own people and undermining our neighbors' belief in our reliability. London.—The expiring film, of sensation started by the film, Daily Telegraph's published interview with Emperor William has been fanned to fiercer heat than ever by the announcement of Chancellor von Bülow's resignation and, the emperor's refusal to accept, it. With even the pro-German radical papers emphasizing the impossibility of a British entente with a "personal autocracy" imbued with "Bismarckian tradition", it is plain that Anglo-German friction will be renewed more fiercely than ever in consequence of the latest-developments in Berlin. LITTLE COTTON IN FIELDS. Picayune Report Says 'All Will Be Glinned by November 15' New Orleans, La.-The Pleayum says: Very little cotton remains in the field, and it is said that all will have been picked and ginned by November 15. The 'damage from the boll weevil, in some sections is reflected, in the short yield, many of the Red river lands producing only a bale to six acres. Those planters who have decided to cultivate cotton, another years are adopting historic measures in an effort to allay, the ravages of the pest. These precautions include the early burning of all stalks in the field in order to destroy places for hir bernation, as well as a thorough burning overof the soil and preparations to plant, an early maturing variety of the staple. .

San Francisco, Cal—When Robert Hutong, Bosman, the Hong Kong/millionaire, arrived from China on the steamship Korga he defied the laws of the United States, which distinctly provide that, this country is no place for any person who believes in polygamy. Bosman not only publicly, proclaimed himself to be a polygamist, but emphasized the fact by bringing two wives with him. The local board denied him a landing, and he threatened to appeal to, Secretary Taft, whom he climbed as a personal friend and who had partaken of Bosman's hospitality in Hong Kong. Wires were pulled and Commissioner North allowed him to land, accompanied by his two wives, Margaret and Clare, and their two children. Later word came to Commissioner North to allow Bosman and n portion of his family to remain, for six months longer. He was to give a bond of $500 that they would return at that time. The dispatch also instructed that one of the wives must, return to the Orient immediately. Bosman selected the younger one and Margaret, wife No. 1, goes back to Hong Kong. Wife No. 2 is to remain. It is true that she, according to the laws, of the United States, is not a wife, but she is permitted to remain and pose as such. Under the laws of California she is liable to arrest.

Newest-Outting Hats If a woman sees a soft wide hat in fawn or brown veen trimmed with argousa wing and a ribbon she must not buy it for herself; but take it home for husband, or brother. This is the newest importation in outing hats for men. So far they have not been worn, but the shops are making every effort to sell them. Tucked Guinne... The tucked guimpe is unquestionably a favorite one of the season and is to be noted made, from a great many pretty materials. This one can be trimmed with banding as illustrated or left plain as may be liked, and is adapted to the fashionable net, chiffon, crepe Ninon and all materials that are thin enough to be tucked, successfully. It has the advantage of being snug fitting at the lower portion, so doing away with bulk at that point, and it allows a choice of long or three-quarter sleeves. In the illustration crepe Ninon is trimmed with effective banding finishing the neck and the armholes. The guimpe is made with front and backs, all of which are fitted by means of darts. The upper portion, the sleeves and the collar all are tucked and the tucks in the sleeves are slightly overlapped at the seams to secure the most becoming and satisfactory lines.

Theatre, Hoods. The coming season will bring out Paris the theatre hood. Some of the new ones are wired to keep them away from the face and from ruffling the collarure. New Coats models the narrow shoulder is the most pronounced feature. This is rather unfamiliar of the American figure never looks well in narrow shoulders. The election on Tuesday resulted in a sweeping and glorious victory for the Republican candidates, Taft and Sherman, for president and vice president. President Roosevelt and the Republican party certainly feel gratified at the overwhelming endorsement given the administration by the American people in the splendid vote given Mr. Taft who has been one of the great factors in making Mr. Roosevelt's administration next to Lincoln's, the greatest and most conspicuous in American history. The states of the East and West were as in the last presidential election, united on the Republican principles and its polices as enacted and worked out by president Roosevelt and the individuality and strong declaration for the future made by Mr. Taft in his memorable campaign which has been crowned with the most flattering success. The Southern states as usual remained solidly for Bryan wasting its energies and opportunities in sticking to old threadbare theories and playing the jim crow and disfrahchisement comedies, instead of paying attention to the vital questions effecting the prosperity of it people and section, and in this condition it is likely to remain as long as it follows the leadership of such demagogues as Hoke Smith. Tillman, Vardeman and the lesser lights and henchmen who ride into power by their muck-raking proclivities on the dead past. Mr. Taft's vote in Georgia is encouraging and shows an increase over republican candidates of 1900 and 1904, being in this election about 40,000 and 15,000 more than were polled four years ago, beating Tom Watson substantially, even as Roosvelt beat him in the last election. It is gratifying to the republican leaders to note the loyal manner in which the colored vote in Georgia was cast for Taft and Sherman. Report from the counties showing that they lined up solidly for the candidates of the grand old party. The first congressional district showed up well, Liberty and MoIntosh giving majorities for Taft and and a good vote, being polled in other counties especially in Chatham. The Republican organization in all the counties deserve credit, especially in Savannah where 12,09 votes were polled. There was 831 colored registered voters and of this number fully 800 rallied, for the Republican ticket and cast their votes. The so-called anti-Taft club of Negroes fizzied out, there being less than a dozen votes cast by them during the day. While a large number of democrats refused to vote for Bryan and kept from the polls, a goodly number of prominent business men and others who declared for Taft went to the polls and openly cast their ballots for him, which augurs well for the future. The Taft club of white men got in some effective work during the day of the election. WE "told you so." THE Negro democrats were not in evidence. THE "pie" hunters are now in evidence. Some of them are trying already to discount the efforts of the stalwarts. In this county there were 831 registered colored voters Nearly every one of them voted. Bryan did not get more than twelve of their votes. On Monday night the Democrats had a rally at theatre. We are told that the black Democrats were on the outside hoping to get in, but could not enter. Served them right. They were even discounted around the polls. This caused one of our friends to remark that "The birds have nests and the fox have holes, but the Negro Democrat hath no where to repose." President-Elect Taft. As predicted by THE JOHNNE and all of the leading Republicans, Judge Taft was elected to the presidency by an overwhelming vote on Tuesday. When the final result is announced his vote in the electoral college will be nearly as large as that of Roosevelt four years ago. At this writing Taft's vote is 319. An. official count of the more doubtful states is being awaited be- fore the final vote can be announced. All over the country the colored voters rallied to the standard of the Grand Old Party. The much talked of deflection of these voters to the democratic party did not materialize. It is doubted if Bryan got more than ten per cent of their vote in the entire country. In Georgia more colored Republicans were registered than ever before, this was caused by the disfranchisement campaign. This vote went solidly for Taft, thereby making a record-breaking vote. The democratic majority was made very small, and when the final vote is announced it will be not more than 15,000. The Watson vote did much to cut down the democrats' majority. Taft carried twenty-nine counties in the State. Several of these counties are in the northern part of the state where the Republican sentiment is flattering. Some of those counties gave Republican majorities before. The other counties contain a large colored vote and there being registered more this year than ever before caused Republican victory. It was expected that a larger number of white voters would have favored the Republicans with their ballot. Recent converts to the party will be making all manner of claims about the election, but the above are facts that can not be contradicted. Every effort should now be put forth by our men in order to meet the requirements of the disfranchisement law. We must retain our strength on the registration list, in fact increase the number. It can be done. Qualification can be gained by owning a certain amount of property, educationally, etc. We wish to state that the death knell of the Negro in Republican politics in this state has not been sounded. They will still be in evidence. They will keep in mind too, who their friends are and will reward them accordingly. Those who are against us need not think that the Georgia disfranchisement act will keep us down. It will not cut down ten per cent of the present registration, and we predict that this will be overcome by the young men who will qualify to vote. A large per cent of those now on the list are educated, or property owners and who will-not be molested. The Negro will continue to be a factor in Georgia Republican politics. The Negro Vote. The Morning News, the morning after the election had this to say about the Negro vote: "The part the negro played in the election was interesting. It is estimated that practically all of them supported the Republican ticket, despite their anti-Taft meetings and much protestations against the administration. There were $31 colored voters registered, as tuis is their las opportunity to vote in Georgia, at presidential election for some time to come, it is reasonable to assume that most of them exercised their sufferage and put the ballot in "straight" for the Republican ticket. "Assuming that 800 negroes voted for Taft, the white supporters of the republic can ticket are reduced to 400. Deducting the federal office holders and Republicans who have moved to Savannah in recent years, it is fair to claim that the number of old line Democrats who deflected from their party to vote for Taft this year is very slim." Editorially the Press said: "There was a heavy negro vote through Arkansas, which reduced the Democratic majority in that state. The heavy negro vote everywhere increased the Republican majority. It did in Chatham." The same paper said in another paragraph: "The big talk about the heavy white vote for Taft and the heavy colored vote for Bryan was not fulfilled. Party division was almost on the old line." Models. The history of race's upon the globe show that there has been amoug that race the custom of pointing out to the youth thereof th men who have made good by precept or example or both. The Negro race is not an exception. Yet the extent to which this phase of training has obtained is limited. Now, if the race would truly engage in race building, it must not subordinate the importance of emulating the lives of good and therefore, great men. Following the sad, taking off of the late L B. Maxwell, peer of any, superior of many, a single memorial marked the beginning and ending of efforts upon the part of his friends and fellow citizens, to perpetuate his memory as the result of his real worth to the community in which he lived and labored. This is a single instance of our forgetfulness. Has T. James Davis ever lived among us? Was he anything to the community? "The deeds he wrought in the days gone by; They live—and never can die." What of Ross Jackson and the peerless King Emanuel Love? Their memory, too, as regards public and general commoration, is "unwept and unsug." Does a youth aspire to be a Tom Davis? Nol' because he knows not of him. Truly a dead Negro is "good and dead," the word "dead" finding the very best definition in our conduct with reference thereto. If any Negro, being dead, lives in memory, it is that most favorable conditions or exegencies make him live in spite of the inclination,() to forget. Douglas yet lives among us because his life work is inseparable from the epoch of American history begun during his life. Attucks lives because America lives—the two lives being insolubly blended, but what of other noble and heroic dead? Greatness is achieved by other paths than those in which these found greatness. We must, as a race select some standards, worthy if humble, and raise them aloft that our youth may have a model at which to work—a model of the race. Know you a man. "diligent in business," hold him up to the youth, for there are many to look upward. Know you a man who walks uprightly before all mankind, whose conversation is "yea yea and nay, nay, who does not strive to screen himself with official toga, to hide bare acts of misconduct, then hold him up to the youth as a model, there are many to look upward. Let these models be, as far as possible men of the Negro race. We have had to adopt models, we may yet have to adopt them, we shall have it to do unless we begin to give to our youth models of our making. The truly great is the truly good then have we not, as a race, "had many and many good men—plus? If so, then let us keep their memory alive for purposes of study. Washington, Lincoln, McKinley, Harrison, Garrison, Beecher, Spurgeon and hundreds of others shine out as models to all youth; but more pointedly to white youth. Imagine the tangling thoughts of a Negro boy who shapes his course or after the model of Jefferson or McKinley, don't you know he sees his hopes are futile? Can he expect, reasonably to attain what these men attained? He may equal or exceed them in wisdom and in all of the requisites of greatness, but will the fact, in the light of actualities, argue the supreme wisdom of holding these characters forever, as models for our youth? Worth is worth, I admit, but worth is not by any means, a positive term, in these days of crude reasoning. A certain amount of gold coined into national specie is worth a dollar, the dollar is worth its value in commodities. But there are certain luxuries that this dollar will not buy, if the dollar be in the hand of a Negro. The dollar loses its purchasing power in his hands, then why deceive our youth into expecting impossibilities? Why not unveil to them the model of naked truth? This argument may be vulnerable, and I admit that it is. Truth is vulnerable but indistractible. This argument may be circumlocution, I admit that it is, but circumlocution does not destroy the fact. Expedience in script, is an excusable diversion as long as truth looms above it. But withal, this is no time for splitting of straws—the whole straw bends in the direction the wind blows. And regardless of of argument to the contrary, to progress most helpfully, it is imperative that we have the real stimulant of progression. As a race, we must have ideals from our own ranks; for to pattern entirely after models of other races, is to ape and that age—the "mohkeying age" has passed away. Let us remember our living great. Let us remember the great of our own who sleep. Let us speak of their greatness and their goodness about the fireside and upon the forum, that the youth of our race may learn that they too sprang from a noble ancestry. TREBUNE. Dear Sir—Mir. Roy Reginald is a stranger to me; I do not even know to what denomination he belongs; in many points he may not agree with me, a Catholic Priest. But from his articles in your valuable paper, I can judge that he is a man of intelligence and with a sincerity; a man who has at heart the welfare of his race. I read and re-read his last article "Save the Boys," because it contains a serious meditation for every one who takes a real practical interest in the colored race; the striking remarks which he makes should be meditated with careful attention by every colored man in the city. Yes, save the boys! My heart is bleeding when, during my pastoral visits through the city, I see hundreds, yes hundreds of colored boys and girls, entirely left to themselves, who never frequent any school and perhaps never saw the inside of a church. Mr. Roy Reginald is right to say in the beginning of his article "If any one desires to leave the race an heritage of 'priceless ray serene' let him institute a method of winning the boys from frivolity and wantonness;" yes, "there is an abundance of talent in our boys that is being smothered by frivolity." My experience with the colored people proves to me that this statement is true. In the public and the private schools in New York and in our own little school of St. Benedict in this city, I found colored boys and girl, nobly gifted with rare talents, talents which, thank God, are being cultivated in these schools. But what about those poor unfortunate boys and girls "dipped in the stolied paths of ease" who do not receive the priceless gift of education. Ah: there are pearls hidden and lost in the dirty lanes of our city, lost forever by the negligence of careless parents. All honor is due to men, like Mr. Roy Reginald, who take up this most serious question of "Saving the Boys." "Many and varied are the opportunities for encouraging and saving the boys," says Mr. Roy Reginald, and he indicates some of them. Sum them up in three words: home, school and church. These have always been the three great factors of the uplifting and the elevation of any nation, they alone will be the means of the salvation of the colored race. A man without religion is a normal being, a man without education is nowadays an useless being. But religion and education are two splendid monuments, which cannot be erected without the solid foundation of a clean and honest home. The saving of the boy begin at home on the knees of the mother, under the vigilant guidance of the father. There the character of the child is formed; church and school, religion and education will develop and perfect it- There is no use talking and philosophising, home life is the beginning of all; without it the noblest efforts of ministers and teachers are vain and useless. "Is there a Moses among us?" asks Mr. Roy Reginald. Yes, that Moses is the christian parent, who alone can lead the youth of the city from "ways that are dark, and tricks that are]vain," "into the promised land of lofty ideas, thrift and economy." "We must build up a race strong of racial traits through the development of intelligent, strong and provident individuals and we benefit the race." To add, we must also form religious individuals. We do not want "a shouting Religion" (pardon me the expression), an exterior Religion, a social Religion, but we want a solid practical Religion. A Religion with noble principles of doctrine and morality. We must give education to the boy—a solid elementary eduication to all, a higher education to those destined to some professional career, and a practical training to our future tradesmen. If you save the boys, you will also save the girls, because the "saved" boys will respect and defend the honor of the young maiden and they will be the faithful husbands and the good fathers of the future. These reflections came into my mind when I read the article of Mr. Roy Reginald "Save the Boys," they may be strong and unpleasant for some, but they come from a heart sincerely devoted to the interests of the colored people in Savannah. Thanking you in anticipation for the space which you will kindly give me in your valuable paper, Love dear Editor. I am, dear Editor, Yours truly, Jos. A. Dahlent, Assistant Pastor at St. Benedict's Church. St. Mary's Dots. On Friday night October 23rd, the students and friends of the St. Mary's High School surprised the teacher, Prof. J. M.

The Negro and the Public Schools of the South. To the Colored People of the South: This is the third time that I have had the privilege of speaking to you in this way upon what I consider the most vital subject out side of religion, that concern our race. Action upon it cannot be delayed or omitted without the most serious consequences to this and succeeding generations. I refer to the education of our colored children in the country districts where from 80 to 85 percent of our people live. On a recent trip through the state of Maryland I was surprised to find, for example that there were rural communities almost within sight of the dome of the Capitol of the Nation where the public schools for our race are only open from two to two and one half months during the year. Taking the Southern States as a whole it is safe to say that the country schools are not in session at present longer than four or five months out of the twelve. When we add to this condition in most cases, poor schoolhouse or no school houses, little appropriation and poorly paid teachers, it is clear that this is a condition demanding the immediate attention of parents, ministers, teachers and leaders of every description. The facilities for public school education in the cities and larger towns are good for the most part, but I know of counties where Negro teachers are paid not more than $15. per month, and out of this they must board themselves. This mean practically no school, for a teacher worth more cannot live on such a wage. In order to impress our people with the truth of how far we are behind and with what remains to be done, let me make a comparison: Two years ago each child in the state of Massachusetts had spent upon him as per school population, in the free public schools' $26.42 while taking the South as a whole for the same year each Negro child had spent upon him as per school population from 50 cents to $1.50 in the different Southern States. At such rate does any one believe that we can educate our children? Ignorance will grow denser, and crime, lawlessness and inefficiency will increase. Something must be done and that speedily. What is the remedy? Let parents and leaders get into close and sympathetic touch with the local and county and state officials and make known the condition and the needs of children. If one effort does not succeed, make another and another. You, yourselves must make your wants known, no one can or will do it for you. We must in a firm, conservative and yet polite manner insist upon our proper share of the public school funds. Parents must bear in mind that if they get all the public schools fund that is justly due their children, this alone will not provide for the education of their children. Even the white children in the South are not receiving enough money to properly educate them from the public fund. In some way each community must organize effort to tax itself and keep on taxing itself until each community has a good schoolhouse and a school term lasting from six to eight months in each year, taught by qualified teachers. I speak to our people now on this subject that they may begin organizing and that they may raise money this fall while our people have it. Now is the time to act. Do not delay another day. This is the season of the year when our people are handling considerable cash as a result of tee sale of their crops. This is also, the season of the year when they are tempted to throw away thousands of dollars in mwnw thousands of dollars in mwnw thousands of dollars of the money this fall that would throw away in providing for the proper education of your children. We must as, a race, learn to make sacrifices. It is better that we go without proper clothing, that we go hungry, live on bread and water even if necessary, rather than neglect the education of our children. Let each person, teacher or minister, who reads these words, begin at once and stir the people to action is his immediate county. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Tuskegee Institute, Ala., October 1, 1908.

His text was tsken from Matt, 9:28. ‘Tbe subj=st was-"Tae blind man's prayer or spiritual blindness.” The sermon was an excel- lent one During the whole sermon he held the congregation spell-bouud. In his introductory remarks, he sald that we all have a right to give thanks to God, as we grow clder we should be more thankful because we are rere able to sre His ooduess and the necessity of our serelog Hira. He said “I feel more thaak: ful now thanerer before in my life e- cause the Lord hasdone so much for me He steoped down and Iifted me up and I know no better way tothant Him, than to serve Him uatil I die.” Blindness, he sald, is caused from sia, 2e took for ex- amples Paul and Sampson of older times, Paul left his home early in the morning to godown to Damascus to arrest Annias Dut Annias wat a servant of God and God promised to fght for him He told the guarding angel’to stand still and mox*tet his wings movs as He wanted Paul to re- celve the full benefit of the Hight, thus Paul was killed in his sin while on his heartless mission and when he awoke he found bimeelf in a street called “Straight.” and he a christjan inquiring, “What wilt thou have me to do?” Samp- son's biladness was caused from disobe- Gieace.

Luke 11:4—"Lead us not into temptation." This is a most sapient sentence in the prayer Christ taught His disciples. It reveals the philosophical-insight and the intensified acumen of the Master. It casts a white light upon the thoughtfulness of our Saviour, and not only illuminates our understanding of the subject in hand, but also glorifies the moral genius and the perspicacity of Jesus. It stamps Jesus as a sage. Few things that He ever said have differentiated more than moral. This declaration and petition is sagacious, decisive, profound. It cuts through sin to that which is antecedent. It shows us the hand and the artice of the seducer, and this seductions. Ponder the text." You will find it central. It is suggestive, superlatively influential. Temption is a subject that is much misunderstood. Few grasp its significance, comprehend its power, or apprehend its fundamental relationship to sin. You will note that Jesus says, "Lead us not into temptation; deliver us from evil." He does not say, "Deliver us from evil, and lead us not into temptation." The ordering of the language is consonant with the sequence and logic of the thoughts the words express. Jesus was conversant with the general unintelligence concerning the place of temptation in the life of man. Then as now the multitude was more concerned with overt, wickedness than with precedent thought. Then as now men were more careful to keep out of the handeuffs of the police than to keep their thoughts pure and their hearts radiant with righteousness. We are no better in many ways than the men to whom Jesus intimately and immediately spoke. They didn't understand the viciousness of temptation or think about it any more than do we. Temptation is subtle. Sometimes it appears to be superficial. Now it is an objective force, an influence moving us from without. Again it is subjective, a wrong desire or an evil wish leading us, as it were, from within. But whether temptation be subtle or superficial, subjective or objective, whether it be a thought or a poison, a wish or a woman, temptation is dangerous. For it holds the seeds of sin. And sin is godlessness. And godlessness leadeth by the steep, sharp way that goes down to that place whose paying stones are reputed to be the good intentions of careless men. How few of us pay any attention to subtle temptation. Most of us spurn it when the jail doors draw ajar or the loss of social or religious position is threatened. We cast Satan out when we can see the end of temptation at a glance. But we coddle and cuddle the temptation that we love to fondle. We hug it to our hearts. We stroke it and caress it. We wouldn't for the world commit the crime that is the offspring of the thought. What fools we are! Would you rub a ratter? Temptation is dangerous. Most dangerous, when it is subtle. It prepares the road for sin. It makes ready the heart of man to plan and the hand of man to execute the will of Satan. It lays a snare and a net. It is full of pretentious promises. It comes in fair array. It looks good. Its pretensions are pretences. Its promises are aerial. It is well dressed. But it is all clothes. The colors will not stand sunlight, nor the weave inspection. It looks good. But its heart is bad. It is as dangerous as it was in Eden, as subtle, as cautious, as mealy-mouthed, as disastrous. In the fourth chapter of the Gospel according to St. Matthew you may read how Jesus dealt with temptation. And reading you will understand, with a little thought, what was Jesus' conception of the relation of temptation to sin and why it was that He taught His disciples that temptation was the subtle antecedent of wickedness that faunts itself, as it is. "The tempter came to Him, he said, If Thou be the Son of God, come that those things be made bread." "The devil seteth Him on the pinnacle of the Temple, and saith unto Him Cast Thyself down." "Again, the devil, showth Him all the kingdoms of the world." What did Jesus do? What would we do under like circumstances? Jesus neither parleyed nor fooled with temptation. He dismissed the temper instanter. He wasted no words in discussion. He attempted no compromise. He didn't ask further light or discuss the terms offered. He quickly, brusquely, energetically spurned the temper and the temptation. I have an idea that if the devil hadn't gone the Christ would have moved on. "And, behold, angels came and ministered unto Him." The answers of Jesus were as incandescent as they were unequivocal. They were hot, surcharged with energy in full play. They were nausea with a heat that shot light into the nature and danger and the method to be free of temptation's snare. And strangely, they were not the sort of answers we return when the devil makes proposals to us. Jesus didn't toy with Satan's propositions. He didn't ask him to submit a brief. He delayed neither response nor judgment. He gave him cool hearing, utical reply, no opportunity or occasion for rebuttal. How otherwise we do. Tempation finds us willing, voluble, inviting. What sin cannot do temptation does. For the sin we do the temptation to which we have yielded is responsible. What wind is to the moving boat and sails, coal to the locomotive, and heat, gasoline and associated planes to the aeronaut, similarly temptation is to sin. Knowing this it is not wise to parley with tempters or temptation. Jesus didn't discuss Satan's propositions, for discussion would have implied the right of Satan to be heard. It would have given him privilege in court. Jesus saw that discussion would be disobedience, argument a confession, debate damaging. We are hardly wiser than Jesus. It He would not parley, we ought not. If His moral sense and mental insight, His sense of religious responsibility, would not permit Him to argue with Satan we cannot as His followers do less than He. To parley is to listen. And the devil has many a sweet tone, plausible plan, fine sounding promise. And many there are who, with unstopped and ready ears, are misled thereby. No wise man would plot murder on a woman by a barbarism with a woman for her soul in the glare of noonday in the sight of men. Much less wise is he who parleys with Satan in the chambers of his heart Jesus didn't fool with Satan. He heard his propositions and had done. And that was the end of it. There were no dates for future conferences. The matter was closed at once. He was as fair with Satan as He was with Himself. Satan wanted an answer. And he got it hot and fast. Note you that he went away and left Him. We ought not to fool with temptation any more than did Christ. It's not fair to the devil. It's not personally honest. It is dangerous. He who fools with tempters and temptations is a fool. One afternoon last summer, as I stood waiting for a car by the tracks where the electric trains course, two boys drew near. When opposite to me they deliberately jumped from a platform to the charged third rail. I nearly had heart disease. In a moment they jumped safely off. To my advice they offered this bit of wisdom: "We jumped off wood with both feet to the rail." The rail's on wood. All you have to do is to jump off with both feet at once." A slip and they would have jumped—into the body by the truck side covered with a patry canvas—a coffin—a mound in Greenwood. A boy dead, *home desolate, a soul gone prematurely to its God. Because a boy would fool with death. Men and women and temptation! How many are not like the boys? You wouldn't cross Niagara with a rope for a walk and a pole for a support and balance? No! Why? Because you're not a fool! You wouldn't jump the Twenteth Century Express. You're not a fool! You wouldn't put you'hand next a whirring wheel. You wouldn't fool with death or danger. But you will fool with temptation. You will play with tempters. You will think a long while before you will do evil. But you will think evil and give audience to Satan now. Here! Now! Aren't you a man? Therein do you differ from the boys? Jesus dismissed Satan. We would be better and safer did we the same, Repulse him. Get Christ to help you. Turn your back on him. Tell him to go to. Klek him out if you have to. But get rid of temptation. Dismiss the tempter. If you can't get loose from the grip of the temper any other way—then run. Better the woods than sin. Better retreat than disgrace. Better caution than, dishonor. Many a man would be without a spot that cannot be blotted out to-day if he had only run away. It is better to run away from an affinity in sin than to embrace. When Jesus refused to barley, when He showed no mood to fool, when He gave direct and unhesitating answer Satan left Jesus. Not otherwise is it with you. The adversary will go when you no longer bid him stay. "And behold angels will come and minister unto you." Church ring Square Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, New York. Carrying Out Our Plans. When the doing of a proper thing has been decided upon, then it ought to be done at any cost save actual wrong-doing. There is nothing that so quickly and surely demoralizes our character and our will-power as failure to carry out our plans. There is nothing that so tones up and builds up character and will-power as the resolute, insistent carrying out of plans at heavy cost to ourselves. If you have made a plan for to-day's work, let nothing but the hand of God stop it. His hand may show in the arising of unforeseen circumstances that are wholly beyond our control, or in the pointing out of a new duty that would make the carrying out of the other plan clearly wrong. Nothing short of such providential hindrance ought to deter you. Yet most people more or less willingly turned aside from our plans for hard work by circumstances that were meant only to test us. Every time this occurs we have weakened our wills and sapped our characters. We say that when we tell a child or an animal to do a thing, we ought, for that one's sake, to insist on its being done. Why should we not be as fair to ourselves as we are to animals and children? Teaching Nuggets. The Second Self. It is a simple yet wonderful comfort to have a second self which is a child; to possess a childhood of feeling in the midst of manhood; and, when the work of the day is passed, to lay our folded hands upon the knees of God as once we did upon our mother's knee, and, looking up, to say, "Our Father, which art in Heaven."—Stopford A.

Burning, Painful Sores on Legs—Tortured Day and Night—Tried Many Remedies to No, Arai—Used Cuticura; Is Well Again. "After an attack of rheumatism, running sores broke out on my husband's legs, from below the knees to the ankles. There are no words to tell all the discomfort and great suffering he had to endure night and day. He used every kind of remedy and three physicians treated him, one after the other, without any good results whatever. One day I ordered some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent. He began to use them and in three weeks all the sores were dried up. The burning fire stopped, and the pains became bearable. After three months he was quite well.

Much attention will be given in these lectures to the industries of cattle raising and dairying. Dr. Soule is a great advocate of cotton seed meal mixed with cotton seed hulls as a cattle feed and as a dairy feed. It has been demonstrated that cattle will fatten more readily on this feed than any other feed. As a food for dairy cattle, it is held to be not only the cheapest, but the best, and the results obtained from dairy cattle fed upon it are most gratifying. At these institutes will be given theoretical talks to practical farmers, the combination of which will do a great deal toward developing the condition of the Georgia farmer. When Inspecting the Railroads of the State. Atlanta, Ga.—Regardless of the criticism levelled against them by an Atlanta paper for using a special train furnished by the railroad in inspecting railroad property, the railroad commission announces that they are determined to continue this policy The members of the commission are now planning the itinerary of other trips of inspection. They are anxious at an early date to visit Savannah and Brunswick and inspect the terminals and wharves at these points. The question of a special charge for shipside delivery of cotton, which was recently raised; though not within the jurisdiction of the commission, has whetted their desire to make a personal inspection of existing conditions at these seaports. Under the law, wharves and terminals are within the jurisdiction of the railroad commission. Question of Ownership of Central, of Georgia and W. of A. Shares Atlanta, Ga.—Another step in the controversy between the state and the Central of Georgia railroad over back taxes and the ownership of 15,000 shares of stock in the Western Railway of Alabama was taken with the report to Comptroller General Wright by the arbitrators of the value of this stock from 1896 to 1905. Attorney Alex W. Smith acted for the railroad, while Fuller E. Callaway of the railroad commission acted for the state. The values fixed range from $60 a share in 1896 to $85 a share in 1905. The question of whether or not the Central must pay on this has not yet been settled by the courts. Seventeen-Year-Old Boy. and Brother Had a Fight.

MEMORIES OF HOMELAND Revived and Friendships Were More Firmly Cemented---Thomas McGuire of Atlanta President. New York City.—Loyal sons of old Georgia, with guests from various parts of the country, gathered together here at the Waldorf-Astoria in a convention of good-fellowship and a conclave of congeniality. Georgians were present from almost every portion of the state, from Rabun Gap to Thomasville; and it was a time when fragrant memories of the homeland were revived, when friendships were more firmly cemented, and state's brotherhood was put upon a stronger, surer footing, and, above all else, it was a time when thoughts of Georgia were in every heart and a toast to Georgia was on every par of lilus. The occasion was the first social affair of the season of the Georgia Society of the City of New York. It was designated as a smoker, and is to be followed by three receptions and dances on Tuesday. November 24; Friday, January 29, and Tuesday, March 9, and by another smoker on Friday, April 30. Thomas McGuire, formerly of Atlanta, is president of the Georgia society, and presided. A happy feature of the occasion was when he introduced James F. Allen, formerly of Warren, who in a neat speech presented a gavel to Bedell Parker, expresident of the association and originally a citizen of Hamilton, Ga. The gavel was made of Georgia pine. TO HOLD FARMERS' INSTITUTES Dates and Places of These Meetings Announced. Atlanta, Ga.—Word has been received by Commissioner of Agriculture T. G. Hudson at the state capitol that Dr. A. M. Soule, president of the State College of Agriculture at Athens, and director of the Farmers' Institutes, will resume the holding of these institutes throughout the state. Similar institutes were held in a number of counties during the summer of this year with gratifying results. It worked up a great deal of interest in regard to agricultural education, the result of which was felt at the opening of the agricultural college at Athens this fall. The places for holding these institutes and dates, as announced by Dr. Soule, are as follows: Cellartown, November 5; Buena Vista, November 5; Lawrenceville, November 6; Arlington, November 6; Lexington, November 7; Pelham, November 7; McRae, November 12; Newnan, November 12; LaGrange, November 13; Baxley, November 13; Barnesville, November 14; Lyons, November COMMISSION WILL RIDE FREE.

Nothing but success marks its way. Worshipful Master E. J. Blanks of Republic Lodge writes us that his hall was destroyed by fire on October 26th. He has no idea as to its origin.

Butler is a young minister who will make his mark. Brother J. T. Williams of Penia has removed to Fort Myers, Fla., and will be glad to hear from the brethren. The Eastern Star is still booming. Conventions in several parts of the state are being formed, which shows that the rite is progressing. About the poorest recommendation a man can have in seeking admission into lodge is that "he won't do us any harm." That question is not so important as is the one, "Will he do any good?" Freemasonry was not designed as a nursery for the care of moral weaklings. It requires men with courage of mind and heart and a determination to do the right in order that its mission in the world may be fulfilled.—Mystic Light. I asked the roses as they grew Richer and loveller in their hue, What made their tints so rich and bright? They answered: "Looking toward the light." WHICH IS MASONIC? Here is my ideal of a Mason. It is a fact that "we live in deeds, not words." The brother who grasps the great central thought of life—lives within the courts of the temple, fraternally accepting the demands of duty and obligation as the highest con- THIRD.

Our dealing is prompt, and orders for picnics, lodges, churches, excursions and societies given special attention. ceptions of a pure manhood—is the one that "most lives." Two sons go from home to assume their station in life's activities. One, regardless of the home below or the higher habitation. above, goes through life in the fifth appetite, dishonesty and lust. The other, honoring the name of father and mother, with aspirations for a rest in the "temple not made with hands"—regarding manhood as the grand sequence of his pilgrimage—has lived for his race; while the other has cast a forbidding shadow over his better impulses, and left his contagious vestments as his only contribution to humanity. My brother, which of the two is Masonic?—T. T. Gurney. THROUGHOUT THE STATE. The prison commission has under consideration a proposition to have the state of Georgia take over a portion of Sapelo Island, located in the Atlantic ocean off the Georgia coast, the island to be used as a farm for the safe keeping and employment of the surplus felony contests the state may have on its hands at the expiration of the present lease. The proposition was made to the commission by T. H. Boone, a well known citizen of Macon, representing the Scottish-American Mortgage company of Edinburgh, Scotland. Sapelo Island is situated about twelve miles from Davenport, and is under the jurisdiction of the state of Georgia and McIntosh county, so there can be no question as to the legality of the island being used as a prison farm. The waterworks and school house bond issue of $30,000, recently voted by Decatur, was bought by Hillsman & Co., of Atlanta. The issue brought 1.03, which makes the amount received $30,900. The bonds are of the 5 per cent 30-year variety. One-half of the proceeds will be used in the construction of a new school building and the balance for extension of the town's waterworks system. A big charge of dynamite was set off under the little Mormon church near Montreal and the building was wrecked. No one was near the scene, as could be located, and so far no one can be found who knows any of the particulars. It is said many people heard the explosion, which caused quite a shock for two miles around. The members of the church yesterday found more, than forty sticks of dynamite unexploded scattered in the ruins. This church was formerly a school house and was recently purchased and converted into a church, which, had only last week been painted and fixed up nicely with chairs for seats. While it was known to be quite objectionable to a great many people, it was not expected that any such crime as this would be the outcome. Professor-W. A. Ingram, who has been in charge of the school at Sylvania for the year past, and had started in for another year, has resigned his position and left for Bienville, La., where he has accepted a position with the institute at that place. Sayannah, Ga. N one of the poorest wards of Boston is a girl—who has earned the sobriquet of "The Three-Story Farmer," otherwise, "Backyard Betsy." She began to till the soil growing flowers in boxes in the backyard of the tenement, for her invalid brother to look at. They were "halvers," that is, they rented only half the flat, and the back half at that, so Benny could not look out in the street. She made the little space so beautiful with green and bloom that the neighbors nicknamed her "Backyard Betsy," and began to imitate her example. Next an Italian woman in the building showed her how to grow some vegetables in boxes under the windows, and on the roof, and she soon had a fine garden of tomatoes, peas, beans, and lettuce, from which she could tempt Benny's poor appetite with fresh home-grown vegetables. But Benny grew worse, and she found it necessary to stay at home with him more and more. They were so poor that the loss of her wages was a serious matter. One day a neighbor said to her—these tenement-house neighbors are wonderfully kind and thoughtful—"There's a way or raising mushrooms in the cellar. It doesn't take much except care. I could get you some of the spawn from my brother who is gardener for a rich man." And so "Backyard Betsy" became "Mushroom Nurse." She found a marketman who took all that she could grow, and soon she was able to make five dollars a month. But Benny demanded more of her time, and she was hard pressed. One day the marketman told her of a customer of his who had inquired for some one to take care of a bird. She eagerly accepted the trust, and was well paid. She loved the bird, and studied its wants. A bird man told her it needed worms, and showed her how to breed them in bran. She had good success, and he took all the worms she could spare. So "Backyard Betsy," the "Mushroom Girl," became "Betsy," the Bird Girl, and the demand for worms for birds grew so that soon she was making enough money to stay at home all the time and care for Benny. It is doubtful if any farm so small was ever worked so thoroughly or profitably. Children and Reading By E. S. Martin FIND it a matter of very general solicitude with parents to find some means of inducing their children to read improving books while they have the chance. I don't find many parents whose success in this endeavor matches their efforts or their hopes. Bookcases with glass doors and monotonous looking sets of books behind them are comparatively scarce. Of course you may lead a child to a library, and even leave him there, and not be able to make him read; but he is more likely to read a library than he is to read the parlor bookcase, especially if the bookcase is locked because the books in it are so nicely bound. Familiarity with books—even if only with the backs of them—seldom breed contempt. It is much more apt to breed friendship, and sometimes it breeds strong affection like that for dear people. The enormous dimensions of the mass of human knowledge as contained in books is liable to daunt young readers, and discourage them from even nibbling at so huge a cake. The long books are so long, and there are so many of them, and life, all told, is but a span! Help the young readers to a release from that burdensome feeling and to appreciation of the truer sentiment that a good book is the record of the thoughts of a good mind; and that whether one reads much or little of it, contact with the mind that made it is profitable.—Harper's Magazine.
