C.—Sentiment in favor of the issuance of government bonds for a comprehensive improvement of the rivers, harbors and canals of the country to the end that this nation shall have the greatest system of waterways in the world, gained considerable headway at the annual meeting of the rivers and harbors congress here. The scheme contemplates the issuance of $500,000,000 worth of federal bonds for internal water courses, to be distributed over a ten-year period, or $50,000,000 annually. Following the lead of President Roosevelt and President-elect Taft, both of whom, before the joint conservation, meeting advocated the issuance of government bonds for the construction of permanent public improvements, enthusiastic endorsement was given the proposition at the rivers and harbors congress by such leading figures as Vice President Fairbanks, Andrew Carnegie, Joseph E. Ransdell, president of the congress, and other speakers. The congress will, in all probability, adopt resolutions asking congress to authorize the issuance of bonds. This session witnessed one of the most notable gatherings in the history of congress. The list of speakers included Yice President Fairbanks, Andrew Caratigle, James Bryce, the British ambassador; Former Mayor Seth Lowe of New York; Representative John E. Ransdell; Champ Clark of Missouri, minority leader of the house of representatives; Governor George E. Chamberlain of Oregon; Governor J. Y. Sanders of Louisiana; Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor; Judgo George Hillyer, a member of the Georgia railroad commission, and Professor W. D. Lyman of Whitman College of Washington. Upward of 3,500 delegates, representing 44 states and the territories of Alaska, New Mexico and Hawaii and Porto Rico, were in attendance. Perhaps the largest representation from any one city was from Nashville, Tenn., including ten delegates. Out of respect to the memory of the late W. T. Vandiver of Alabama, vice president of the congress, who died in Montgomery, a resolution was adopted extolling him for his great interest in the cause of waterway ex- centered in the address of rnegie, who received a trea- tion when he declared he his aid to inaugurate an stem of waterways im- S FOR GILDED RICH. Washed and Wiped With Linen Napkins. II.-Loton Horton, one of retailers of milk in New England, regaled the annual meet-International Milk Dealers' convention, held here in connection with the dairy show at the Coliseum, by a moving narrative of how he urged 20 cents a quart for milk, according to Mr. Horton the milk is produced by the owner of a farm at Burg, N. Y., and "costs as much produce and is as good to drink as best California wine." Cleanliness consisted on to an extent almost unobvious, he declares; the crew is trained and wiped with linen napkins when the milk is obtained it is sealed as though it were so much champagne. The milk is sold to "the gilded rich" in New York, the owner is said to make about 2 per cent on his investment, and Mr. Horton says that he himself loses money. "I'm keeping the experiment," said he, "first, be believe the making of pure milk ought to be encouraged, and, second, in the belief that some day the demand, will be sufficiently steady to make it pay." ARMY RIFLE A SUCCESS. Than Krag-Jorgensen, Says Chief of Ordnance. Washington, D. C.—That the new rifle, just introduced into United States army and the militarized curious states, is a success fought by General William Crozer, chief of ordinance of the war department. In his annual report to Secretary of war, "This rifle has proved to be more powerful, accurate and rapid," he says, "than the rifle of Krag-Jorgensen type, which is read." 100 taken from Bank of Portland and three Masked Men. Oregon—The East Side town of East Washington street and Grand Avenue was robbed by three masked men, of $16,500. The president of the bank, Henry H. Whall and his son, Roger, were just there when the bank for home where two men armed with pistols en- trusted. President Newhall and his son were there to hold up their hands, and they were thus under the guard of one robber's revolver, the man who was robbed through the cash passed out the money into the foyer.

PROFIT OF $55,000,000. Made by Standard Oil Company in Seven Years New York City.—Figures showing some of the profits of the Standard Oil Company became part of the court record" in the federal suit to dissolve the Standard, when John D. Archebold resumed the stand for a brief examination, and Henry Tilford, president of the Standard Oil Company of California, testified at some length as a witness for the defense. The government inquisitors, on figures submitted, showed that the Continental Oil Company, a Standard subsidiary in the middle west, made profits of 115 per cent on its capitalization of $300,000, and that the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, on a capitalization of $1,000,000, earned about $55,000,000 between 1699 and 1900. NEWSY PARAiRAPHS- Mrs. Hugo Rosenberg of Pittsburgh was re-elected president of the National Council of Jewish Women at their convention at Cincinnati, her objection to being again chosen being overcome. The other officers chosen are: First, vice president, Mrs. Miriam Misch, Providence, R. I; second vice president, Mrs. Ben Lowenstein, Cincinnati; recording secretary, Mrs. Eli Strause; Baltimore; treasurer, Mrs. Adolph Kahn, Washington, D. C.; auditor, Mrs. Nathaniel Harris, Denora, Pa. Just at 4 o'clock in the afternoon when the thoroughfares of Kansas City, Mo., were crowded with persons within a stone's throw of the city hall and police headquarters, and in the midst of their busy wholesale district, the police department of Kansas City and a band of religious fanatics, headed by John Sharp, who styles himself "Adam God," and who says he is Jesus Christ, reincarnated, engaged in a fierce revolver battle. Over one hundred shots were exchanged. As the result of the encounter two persons are dead, two others are at the point of death, a third cannot recover, and two more have paid for their afternoon's experience with slight wounds. The dead are; Albert O. Dalbow, a patrolman; Lola Pratt, aged 13 years, daughter of Louis Pratt, a companion of "Adam God." Pat Crowe, once charged with kidnapping "Ellie" Cubaby and one of whom the police of the country have had to do in the last fifteen years, has forsaken the old life and accepted Christianity. As soon as he can complete his plans he will go forth as an evangelist. A remarkable hunt for "needles in a haystack" has been inaugurated in Michigan by men of science in the employment of Uncle Sam. This "needle" is known as the michococcus aptha bovinalis. This is the germ of the cattle plague, known among farmers as the foot and mouth disease. It is prevalent now in Michigan and the federal authorities have imposed a quarantine not only against the Michigan herds but against the Michigan hay. Not a pound of Michigan hay will be permitted to be shipped out of the state. The quarantine is expected to last for nine months. In the meantime a small army of government bacteriologists will examine numerous samples. The British government's experiment in introducing American cotton into India has met with encouraging success. The first auction of the American cotton was held recently, and the entire product was bought by one firm at a price 25 per cent higher than Ondian cotton. Prominent women of New York, forming the association opposed to woman suffrage, are quietly conducting their campaign and distributing literature. A secret meeting of the organization, was held at, which officers were elected, Mrs. Elihu Root, wife of the secretary of state, was chosen as one of the vice presidents. Safe robbers at Malze, Kan, blew open the state bank vault and escaped with nearly $6,000 in currency. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST. BROAD STREET. DEVELOPMENT OF SOUTH British Ambassador Predicts Rapid Growth of This Section. PROGRESSIVE SPIRIT SHOWN On His Visit to This Section James Bryce Was Struck by Signs of Activity In all Lines. Washington, D. C.—Expressing the conviction that a great future is about to dawn upon the south James Bryce, the British ambassador, received a notable reception from the delegates in attendance upon the Southern Commercial Congress, following a speech, in which he declared that he is a well-wisher of the south. The ambassador was the center of attraction, although his visit was unexpected. Mr. Bryce came into the hall simply as a spectator, but the audience soon noted his presence, and immediately shouts of "Speech," "Speech," filled the air, and he was compelled to yield to the desire of the congress. "Since I came here eighteen months ago," said Mr. Bryce, "I have twice visited the south. I can hardly express to you the contrast between what I personally witnessed twenty-seven years ago—and the present conditions. Wherever I have been in the south I have' been struck by the signs of activity, progress and development. I see the land being brought more and more into cultivation, more and more being done for agricultural methods. I saw the resources of your soil, of coal and iron, being brought to light, and I saw a new spirit in the south, which desires to make educational progress commensurate with material development." The ambassador pointed out the enormous difficulties with which the south has had to contend since the civil war. "Now, however," he continued, "there is a great door open before you, and as one of the well-wishers of the south, who believes in its greatness as a flourishing and important part of the country, I venture to congratulate you on what is being done, and to say that still greater prospects are before you." The session was presided over by Judge George Hillier, a member of the Georgia state rullroad commission, who, in a brief address, reviewed the work of that body in dealing with transportation companies. The principal speakers were William J. Oliver of Knoxville, Tenn.; Clarence H, Poe, editor of The Progressive Farmers, Raleigh, N. C.; and Dr. J. A. Bonsteel, of the United States bureau of soils. Mr. Bonsteel reviewed the work which has been done by the bureau of soils in the way of investigations in the south. The speaker declared the south is a region of almost boundless agricultural opportunity, and expressed the belief that the brains and enterprise of these fifteen southern states will not neglect so great an opportunity. He predicted that the next census will show that the annual value of the farm products of the south will double what it now is—which will exceed. $2,000,000,000. Preliminary to the convening of the session, Governor Dave, secretary of the Commercial Club of Montgomery, Ala., called attention to the wrong impression which has gained considerable headway in foreign countries, notably in Europe, regarding the health conditions in the southern states, declaring that in northeastern Europe and the British isles, the immigrant maps have black and yellow splotches over what are called the southern states, the idea being that certain southern states are infected with yellow fever, and therefore unfit for a place of residence. Mr. Dave said this impression is unjust to the south. He, therefore, advocated the carrying on of an active propaganda in foreign countries to make the south better understood in this respect. NEW COUNTERFEIT FOUND. $5 Silver Certificate, Indian Head, is Very Deceptive. Washington, D. C.—A new counterfeit $5 silver certificate, Indian head, has been discovered by the secret service officials, who declare that it is a dangerous and deceptive counterfeit. It is said to be particularly deceptive by reason of the fact that it is printed on genuine paper, which has been obtained by bleaching a note of smaller denomination; probably a $1 bill. In bleaching the note the color has been taken out of some of the distributed silk fiber lying close to the surface, but the deeply imbedded fiber is still visible in the paper, though the bluue has been changed to a purple and the red has been somewhat lightened. The back of the note is deceptive; but is a blue green and darker than the genuine. Eleven Killed In Dynamite Explosion. Calcutta, India.—An explosion in the magazine at the military station here resulted in the killing of eleven men and the wounding of twenty-six others. The men were engaged in converting ball cartridges into blank cartridges. $25,000. Shaft For Carmack. Nashville, Tenn.—At a meeting of the committee on a memorial for ex-Smater Carmack, appointed at the recent memorial mass meeting, it was decided to erect a $25,000 monument, the money to be raised by popular subscription and the monument to be placed on Capitol Hill. PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS Matters of Importance Before the National Lawmakers. Washington, D. C.-Both houses of congress convened for the beginning of the second session of the skirtthle congress. Practically no business was transacted in either house. In the senate, ex-Governor Cummins of Iowa took the oath of office, as the success of Senator Allison, as did Carroll S. Page of Vermont as the successor of Senator Stewart. In the house the seven members who were elected in November to succeed members who have resigned were sworn in. They are Henry A. Barnhart, democrat, who succeeds the late Mr. Brick, republican, from the thirteenth Indiana district; Albert Estopinal, democrat, who succeeds the late Mr. Meyer, from the first Louisiana district; Otto G. Foelker, republican, successor to Mr. Dunwell, republican, in the third New York district; Frank E Gurney, republican, successor to Mr. Powers, republican, from the fourth Maine, district; Eben M. Masters, republican, successor to Mr. Parker, republican from South Dakota at large; O. C. Wilty, democrat, successor to his brother, A. A. Wiley, democrat, from the second Alabama district, and John P. Swasey, republican, successor to Mr. Littlefield, who resigned during the last session from the second Maine-district. The two houses appointed committees each to notify the other houses and the president, that the two bodies are organized and prepared to go forward with the business of the session. The senate then adjourned for the day, out of respect to the memory of Senator Allison, who died during the recess. The house terminated its brief session with resolutions commemorative of the lives of Messrs. Parker, Wiley, Dunwell and Powers, who have died since adjournment last May. Tuesday, after the completion of preliminary routine business the president's message was read in both houses, adjournment was then taken until noon Wednesday. An emergency volunteer army measure was advocated Tuesday by President Roosevelt in a special message sent to congress, and the draft, of the bill accompanying the message was introduced in the senate by Mr. Culliom. The president says the bill is intended to replace the present law, which was placed on the statute books "piecemeal and hurriedly, partly on the eve of the war with Spain and partly after hostilities had actually commenced." After declaring that the present, law is faulty and wholly inadequate to a speedy and proper organization of a volunteer force, the president says the bill proposed, which was drawn under the supervision of the chief of staff of the army, has the hearty approval of the war department. The proposed bill is elastic; under its provisions a force of 2,000,000 men could be raised, as well as one For nearly five hours the house of representatives considered the bill providing for the taking of the thirteenth and subsequent decennial censuses, and passed it without material change. The session of the senate Wednesday was chiefly devoted to the formal presentation of departmental reports and the introduction of bills. The reports have been made public from time to time, and the bills, numbering $52, were chiefly for the granting of pensions. Senator Johnston of Alabama introduced a bill to reinstate former Cadets Rossell and Weaver, dismissed from the military academy for hazing. He declared that their punishment was excessive, and said that every new senator was hazed by being given unimportant assignments and being restricted in his privileges. He did not wish to have the idea go forth that the boys' mothers have to look after them after they enter the military academy. Work of Congress Outlined. If republican leaders retain their present views, the legislation of the session will include very little except the appropriation bills. These bills will carry in the aggregate about $1,000,000,000, and the general opinion is that in the time that will be allowed the two houses will find that they can best serve the country by giving proper attention to these appropriations. The fact that the managers desire to restrict legislation will not prevent other members of the senate and house from exerting their efforts in behalf of favorite measures. The first effort in this direction will be made in the senate, by Mr. Foraker, who will renew his attempt to have passed the bill authorizing the re-enlistment of the negro soldiers discharged without honor on account of the Brownsville riot. This measure will be the special order for December 16. The president will recommend legislation looking to the supervision of telegraph and telephone lines. Bills will be offered bringing them within the jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission. Ship subsidy also will receive attention, but the probability of action is remote. There will be much discussion of the tariff in the cloak rooms, and the ways and means committee of the house will continue its efforts to a bill, but no measure will receive attention on the floor of either house until after March 4, when the proposed special session will concentrate its efforts upon this one subject. It is even probable that action looking to a change in the print paper and wood pulp schedules will be postponed until the special session. BREAK SOLID SOUTH President-elect Discusses South's Political Isolation at Banquet. VOTE AS THEIR CONVICTIONS Mr. Taft Urged That Voters of the South Break Away From Tradition of Fast Political Affiliations. New York City.—President elect William H. Taft, who came to New York to address the North Carolina Society of this city, was given a tumultuous reception by the members of the organization and by prominent men from all parts of the south, at York to address the North Carolina Solonions at the Hotel Astor. Five hundred members and guests of the society filled the brilliantly decorated banquet hall, which was redolent of the pluses of the Tar Heel State, the cones and branches of the resinous trees forming the background for more fragrant blooms, which were scattered everywhere over snowy linen and flag-draped walls. Intertwined ensigns of the state and nation were conspicuous in the decorations of the banquet hall, and larger flags were displayed in front of the hotel throughout the day and evening. Mr. Taft, in the course of an address, which was confined entirely to the south and its problems, urged again that the voters of the south should break away from the outlived sentiment and tradition of their past political affiliations, and cast their ballots in accordance rather with their economic and real political beliefs. Mr. Taft declared that nothing would give him greater pride during his coming term in the chief executive office than to so direct the policy of the national government with respect to the southern states, as to convince the intelligent citizens of the south of the desire of his administration to aid them in working out satisfactorily the serious problems before them, and of bringing them and their northern fellow citizens closer and closer in sympathy and point of view. At the conclusion of practically every one of his pointed sentences, Mr. Taft was interrupted by applause and cheering. Mr. Taft declared that the north yeards for a closer association of the south, and quoted statistics to show that the industries of the south had grown and prospered more during the past decade than any other section of the country. PANAMA BONDS SOLID Average Price of $102.4368 Obtained for Canal Securities. Washington, D. C.—Secretary Cortelay has announced that the Panama Canal bonds had been sold at an average of $102,4368. The lowest accepted bid was at $102,2778. There were 159 accepted bids, amounting to $30,000,000. Six hundred and seventy-two bids were rejected, amounting to $72,808,500. The totaal number of regular bids, therefore, was 831, subscribing for $102,808,800. The bona fide character of the bids is shown by the fact that of the 834 received all but three were accompanied by certified checks or cash for 2 per cent of the face value of the bonds applid for. The following are the names of the successful bidders for $1,000,000 and over, together with the price offered: Fisk & Robinson, New York City, five bids, $2,000, each at prices ranging from $102,283 to $102,783; Chase National Bank, New York City, three bids, $1,000,000 each, at prices ranging from $102,3005 to $102,5005; the National City Bank of New York City, $102,436,700, at $102,2778. The highest bid was by J. F. Houseman of Bradshaw, Neb., for $100 at $105. CHICAGO'S FUNERAL TRUST. Alleged That the Undertakers Are Charging Outrageous Prices. Chicago, Ill.—That Chicago is at the mercy of a "funeral trust" is the allegation of P. J. Hurson, an embalmer, who, in display advertisements in the daily papers, has been stirring up his brother undertakers. Ho says, in part "There are so many undertakers in Chicago, that many of them bury but fifteen or twenty bodies a year. The result is that for a funeral which should cost but, say, $200, these undertakers invariably charge as high as $500. Caskets which should be sold at about $50 at good profit, they sell for $200 and $250. "When death comes, the relatives in the stress of preparation and grief call the nearest undertaker. They select as an expression of their love the finest casket within their means. They pay $200 for a casket that should cost but $50 or $60." ADMIRAL COGHLAN DEAD. Commanded Cruiser Raleigh at the Battle of Manila Bay. New Rochelle, N. Y.—Just on the eye of his removal to his new home, where he had hoped to spend his declining years in quiet, after a lifetime of arduous service in the navy. Rear Admiral Joseph B. Coghlan, retired, died suddenly, aged 64. Rear Admiral. Coghlan was born at Frankfurt, Ky., and his service in the navy began in 1863. From that time until his retirement, in December, 1906, he was almost constantly in the service. He participated in the battle of Manila bay during the Spanish war, where he commanded the cruiser Raleigh. LATE NEWS NOTES. Twenty-seven were killed in an avalanche at San Lucane, Italy. The result of the avalanche left a large opened for these unfortunate victims: enormous food of water is flowing. Hundreds of families are without food and homes. Subscriptions have been opened to rhese unfortunate victims. Nine persons were badly injured and more than a score of others were cut and bruised by falling walls and shattered glass when an agent of the "Black Hand" slipped over the roof to the airshaft of the tenement at 320 East Sixty-third street, New York City, and dropped a bomb. After two trials, George W. Sulper, a Brooklyn commission merchant, shot and killed himself. His 13-year-old daughter was with him when he fired the fatal shot. Rev. Francis A. Pools, pastor of the First Congregational church, at Barre, Vt., says he has quadrupled the attendance at his church in three years by advertising in the paners. Cablegrams received at Shanghai, China, by private sources from Washington announcing that Judge L. R. Willey of the United States court had been removed, created a tremendous sensation. The American colony believés the methods adopted by Judge Willey have operated to nullify his efforts and have discredited the American court. Dr. Sarah Hackett Stevenson, one of the best known women physicians in Chicago and the first woman to be honored with membership in the American Medical association, died of cerebral hemorrhage, brought on by overwork at St. Elizabeth's hospital. The pope at Rome blessed President-elect Taft and his family. The blessing was declared in the presence of Archbishop J. J. Glennon of St. Louis who was one of the first persons received in audience. William Burke of New Bedford, Mass., took the oath of allegiance to his county and was enrolled in the navy here after having walked nearly one hundred miles to carry out his purpose. He reached here at daybreak, after tramping all night from Providence, weary, cold and hungry. Dave Edwards, under sentence to hang at Chattanooga, Tenn., December 10 for the murder of J. W. Davis on March 20, 1993, has been granted a respite of thirty days by Governor Patterson. Davis, the man who was killed, was impregnant of a railroad construction 'ang working on a contract held by W. J. Oliver & Co. Edwards was an employee under Davis.' Washington Frederick A. Hye of San Francisco recently convicted of conspiracy to defraud the United States of large tracts of land in Oregon and Washington, was sentenced in the criminal court to pay a fine of $10,000 and to serve two years in the penitentiary at Moundsville, W. Va, the maximum penalty under the law. Joost H. Schneider of Tuscon, Ariz, an employee of Hyde, and convicted with him, was fined $1,000 and sentenced to one year and two months in the penitentiary. The supreme court of the United states decided in favor of the plaintiff in the case of Mrs. Eva A. Ingersoll, widow of the late Robert G. Ingersoll, against Joseph Coram and others, involving a claim of $100,000 by Mrs. Ingersoll on account of services rendered by her husband- in breaking the will of the late Andrew J. Davis, a Montana millionaire. A verdict of the court circuit gave Mrs. Ingersoll $138,000, principal and interest. The steamers Shawnut and Tremont, now at Seattle, Wash., have been purchased by the isthmian canal commission from the Boston Navigation company, to be used in transporting supplies for the Panama canal. For the purchase of two steamers of the isthmian canal, congress last winter appropriated $1,500,000. The owners of the Shawnut and Tremont at first asked exactly this amount for the vessels, but finally agreed to accept for the two $1,157,301. Because of unsettled conditions at Gonnolves, Haytl, the dispatch boat Dolphin, now in Central American waters, has been ordered to that place to protect American interests. The cruiser Des Moines, which for some days has been stationed at Port au Prince, has left that place for a cruise and will stop at Gonnolves and St. Marc. A change has taken place in the program of the administration for the withdrawal of the American troops from Cuba. Instead of the movement terminating January 28, when the new president is to be inaugurated, as heretofore, announced by Secretary Wright, the withdrawal will be more gradual, and according to the present program will run into April. President-elect Taft, when he is inaugurated next March, will occupy the unique position of being the only president of the United States to hold at the same time he occupied that position, another office at the head of one of the country's great national independent organizations. At the annual meeting of the American National Red Cross society Mr. Taft was unanimously re-elected president of that organization. Mrs. Russell Sage, in recognition of her services and the gift of $25,000 to the secretary; and Dr. Louis Klopsch of the Christian Herald for his work in organizing the China flood relief and executing it in the name of the society, were unanimously elected honorary members. President Roosevelt is the only other honorary member. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has complied with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest, sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business.

Both the ‘preachers of ‘an unrestricted individualism and the ‘preachers of an oppression: waick Would deny ta able men of business the Just reward of thelr initiative and business-sagacity, are advocating pol- icles that would be, fraught with the ‘Bravest harni to’ the jrhole country, It fs to the Interest of all of ns that ‘there should be a premium put upon. individual initiative and individual capacity, and an atple reward for the ‘great, directing intelligences atone (competent to manage the great busl- ness opefations of to-day. It 1s well to Keep In mind that exactly as the anarchist is the worst enemy of Mtb. erty and the reactionary the worst enemy-of-order, so the men who de- fend the rights of property have most to fear from the wrongdoer of great wealth, and the men who are cham- ploning popular rights have most to fear ‘from the damagogues who.in the Bame of popular rights ~would do wrong to. oppress honest business men, honest men of wealth: forthe success of olther type of wrongducr necessarily Invites a violent reaction against the cause the wrongdoer nom- inally upholds. In point of danger to the Nation there is Dothiig to ehgose Detween on the one hand the corfup- tlonist, tho bribe-giver, the bribe-tak- er, the man who emplors his great talent to swindle his fellow-citizens on a large scale, and, on the other land, the preacher of class hatred, the: tan who, whether from ignor- ance or from ‘willingness to sacrifice iis country (o nfs ambition, persuades, well meaning but wrong-headed men to try to destroy the instruments| upon which cur prosperity malnty rests, Let each group of men beware ot and guard against the shorteo:n- ings to which that group Is itself most lable. | The opposition to Government con- trol of these great corporations makes its most effective effort in the shane of an appeal to the old doctrine of States’ rights. Of conrse there are many sincere men who now believe 1a unrestricted individuatism fn bust- ness, Just as there were formerly many ‘sincere men who belfeved in slayery—that 1s, Inthe unrestricted right of an Individaal to own another individual. ‘These men do not by themselves have great welght, how- ever. The effective fight against ade- quate Government control and super vision of individual, and especially of corporate, wealth engaged in inter state business Is chiefly done under cover, and especially under cover of an appealsto States’erights. Tt Is not at all infrequent to read fn the sano speech a denunciation of predatory wealth fostered by special privileze and defiant of both the public welfare and law ofthe land, and a denuncia- tion of centralization in the Central Government of the power to deat with this centralized and organized wealth. Of course the policy set forth In such twin denunciatiozs amounts to abso- lutely nothing, for the first halt 1s nullified by the second halt. The chief reason, among the many sound and compelling reasons. that’ led to the formation of the National Govern- ment, was the absolute need that the Union, and not the several States, should deal with interstate and for- elgn commerce; ‘and the pawer to deal with interstate commerce was ctanted absolutely and plenarily to the Cen- tral Government, and was exercise? completely as regards the only 1n- struments of interstate commerce known In those days—the waterways, the hightoads, as well as the partner ships of individuals who then con- ducted all of what business there was, Interstate commerce {s now chiefly conducted by raflroads, and the grext corporation has supplanted the mass of small partnerships or individuals, The proposal to make the Natloual Government supreme over, and there fore to give it complete comtrol over, the raflroads and other instruments of Interstate commerce is merely a proposal to carry out to the leiter one of the prime purposes, if not the prime purpose, for which the Const!- tution was founded. ‘Wo do not object to the concentra- tion of wealth and administration: but we do Helieve in the distribution of the wealth in profits to the real owners, and in securing to the public the fall benefit of the concentrated administration. We believe that with contentration fn administration there can come both thé advantage of a larger ovnershlp and of.a more eqult- able distribution of profits, and at the same: time a better service to the commonwealth, Many laws are needed. There should be'regulation by the National Government of the great interstate corporations, including a simple method of account keeping, publicity, supervision of the Issue of securities, abolition of rebates and of special privileges.- ‘Thera should be short ime franchises for all corporations engaged 10 public business; inclnd-| ing the corporations which get power from water rights.

As far as possible I hope to sve a frank recognition of tho advantages con- ferred by machinery, organization, and division of labor accompanied dy an effort to, bring about a larger share In the-ownership by wage-work- er of railway, mill, and factory.

Very much of this movement must ve outside of anything that can be accomplished by legislation: but les- islation can do a good deal. Postal savings banks will make It easy for the poorest to keep’ thelr savings in absolute safety. Thé‘ régulation of the national highways must be such that they shall serve all people with equal justice. Corporate finances must be superyised so as to make it far safer than at present for the man of small means to invest his money in stocks. ‘There must be prohibition of child labor, diminution of woman labor, shortening of hours of all: me- chanical labor; stock watering should be prohibited, and stock gambling so far'as possible discouraged. There should be a progressive inheritance tax on large fortunes. Industrial ed- meation should be encourared. As far as possible we should lighten the burden of taxation on the small man. We should put a-premfuor upon thrift, hard work and business energy, but these qualities cease to be the main factors In accumulating @ fortune jong before that fortune Teaches a polnt where ft would be serfously uf- fected by any inheritance tax such as I propose. It is eminently right that che Nation should fix the terma upon which the great fortunes are inberit- ed. They rarely do good and they of- fen do harm to those who ioherit them In thelr entirety. ‘Thé President then devotes a chap- ter to “protection for wagework- ers.” He says there should be no pal- fering with. the ‘question of taking sare of those who becnme crippled or worn out in our industrial system. He urges proper employers’ ilablllty jaws. He also calls attention to the steps toward providing old-age pen- jlons that have been taken by many private industries.

This fs true ofall the decisions that decide te, men and ‘women are, by- the Constitution, “guaranteed thelr liberty," to con- tract to enter a dengerous occupation, or to work an undesirable or impro- Der number of hours, or to work in unhealthy surroundings, and there- fore can not recover damages’ when maimed in that occupation, and can nat be forbidden to work what the Lezisiatuze decides {s an excessive number of hours, or to carry othe work under conditions whieh the Lezislature decides to be unhealthy. -_ Theta Is also, I think, ground for. the beliet that substantlal Injustice fs often suffered by emploves in conse quence of the custom of courts issu} ing temporary fajunctions without notice to them, and punishing them for contempt, of court in instances where, as a miatter of fact, they havo no knowledge of any proceedings.

In Atlanta Jest week this fact was clearly demonstrated in the mayoralty election. The cclored voters stood by the best white voters. They believe in 2 clean and hon- est city sdmiristration, witha anayor who is above reproach. Atlanta’s colored voters are to be commended for keeping up the record of the race in their alignment for good: government. Ar the Southern Commercial Congress held in Washington this week, Dr. Dillard in his address made known tacts that we have approved in these col- umnsand recommend same to every white man in the South, especially the ones who have the control of affairs: “Dr. Dillard in his discussion of the QNeqzo and. his training,’ declared that the Negro isa great Iabor faetor in the South and said that there is no trouble from the Negro, as he is disposed to be thrifty and industrious “It is’ he said, ‘the ignorant and the idle Negro, as it 1s the ignorantand idle man everywhere who is the cause of trouble. * Tho intel- ligent white men of the South know tere things. | They: know that any peo- ple trained to industry and usofulness ‘re more productive and law abiding than masses of ignorance. It is only the thoughtless man of reriless speech who speaks against providing education and training fox our Negro population. Eve one of our Southern. states is committed $o the idea of educating the Negro’”” ee ee eg “The Mitchell-Linton trial at Thomasville which terminated last week attracted attention, especially of the entire State. In the abduction and attempted assault on Miss Lin- ton, Mitchell is charged with the offense, He was disguised as « colored woman, I it were not for the fact thatevidences immediate- ly pointed to him, no doubt several colored persons would have had to pay the penalty for the ofiense, Even after Mitchell was found guilty, the papers of the State attempted to polish the af- fair by sayingthat Mitchell’s mo- tive could not be ascertained. How different it would have been if he really was a black man. This brings to our attention the fact that hundreds of colored men have been lynched purely because of their color and that they re- sembled some distardly fellow with a blackened face, This has been proven, and too in several cases where the accused were given a chance to prove their innocence. Not only in that manner, but after the illegal penalty, had been inflict- ed onfsome. We will not fora moment con- done any man who takes the ad- vantage of a woman, regardless of race, but it is painfully noted that ‘some of our white neighbors are not as demonstrative whenever such a crime is charged to one of their number. Glaring headlines in the newspapers and an incentive tolynch law are given whenever a} .colored man is suspected of the! crime. Itis just to the reverse when the face of the “accused is white. For instance in Carters- ' ville this week three drunken white! men terrorized the town, went in- tos bome'inthe suburbs, shot it ‘up, assaulted a white woman and Rttempted to assault her sister, while the husband was held af bay} at the point of a pistol. This was sufficient to make the blood of, every. good man boil, but no. scare svow headlines appeared in the pa- pers about it, nothing was ‘said to incite a mob. How different it would have been ff the dastards bad a black face, 7 ‘The crime committed by a white man should be punished in the same manner as would a_similar crime by a colored man. In pee cases Justice truly should be blind. Tho M. E. Cenfereace. Cape agp + nea OR ee tage tora ence of the Mehtodist Episcopal church convened in Greenville, Ga., Dec. 8 to6, Bishop J. W. Hamilton presiding. Perfect peace and’harmony prevailed. Bishop Hamilton was the chief_attraction of the conférence. He is an ideal Christ-like man. on Sunday lat 11 o'clock he preached from this text Galatians'3-28 ‘‘There jis Jncither Jew nor Greck, there is neither bond nor free, there is Ineither male nor fomale, For ve lare all one in Christ Jesus.” The | theme was the union and unity Joneness in Christ Jesus, There is neither Jew nor Greck exegesis: Gospel mission is to obliterate and wipe out prejudice and blend som- pathies of tho entire human family as one. But neither male nor female lexegesis: Oh, how the good Bishor defended the women and plead for 'n oneness for the entire christiar | family.

Johnson, Editor “Savannan Trisune,” Dear Sir:—The young People of Savannah, no doubt would be in- terested to know what part Hamp- ton Institute, a place where Savan- nahian are so well represented, is doing in the world of college ath- letics. Hampton’s foot ball team enter- ed her gridiron this season with a strong team and an excellent coach, After’ overwhelmingly de- feating two local teams, our boys went up to,Richmond and there defeated tho team of ‘Union Uni- yersity by a score of 11—0 on Monday. Nov. 9th. On Saturday ‘November 14th, came the team of Howard University, in Washing- ton, D.C., to meet our boys on their own field. The game was begun ina chilly rain, which so déadened the players’ Spirit, that after a half hour of play, the gamo was forfeited to the Hampton team by a score of 6—0. Thanksgiving ‘Day brought a most highly war- ranted team from the Lynchburg ‘Theological Seminary, the Hamp- ton boys had a walkover, winning by a score of 84—0. Last but not least, came our most formadible opponents, the boys from Shaw: University The game between Hampton and Shaw were played Saturday December 5th. ‘Tho tworteams presented a most beautiful appearance as they faced each other under an ideal foot ball sky, surrounded by two thousand enthusiastic spectators. Hampton defended the blue and white, while Shaw protected the garnet and white. The game was the best and most spectacular that wo have witnessed this year, the final score was 0—0. The Hampton team is an all-star team, two Savannah boys are stars of the first magnitude on its line- up. James Scott of Savannah, payed ball of 8 peerless character, whereas another daring player, hails from Macon, Georgia. Yours Traly Robert F. Gibson. } Of the Jim Crew Doctor. From the jlst of editor Dayis’ ‘articler,T would define a “Jim Crow” doctor a8 one who, for some tause, real or imaclaary. refuses to patronize a Negro drug store, and yet crave the patronage of the Ne- gro—one who preaches tace patronage, bot fails, Hmselt to patronize concerns operated by the race—one who preaches’ incompetency or incapacity to master his chosen art upon the part of the dispeaser ‘but fails to demand either a remedy or ‘proof. 'Tols defination may aot minatély deline- ate the above rcierred to functlonary, but In the absence of aay other,iet us grant Its reasonableness for the sake of the ar gument. Wede not grant that we have inour midst any physician that falls ‘within the purview ot this defiaation, for ‘all of our dozen plus of medicos are race men who have-sot only moral but the ma- terial side ot the race at heart as well as the physical, But in order to prove to the state In general that the specie of bu- manity knowen as ‘Jim Crow” ‘doctors fiads not habitation among vs, it will be necessary that a canvats be made inorder to givé to the public the real facis, We would have Atlanta especially to kaow these facts, As a citizen of thls city, mixing dally with nien whé baye left as graduates, almost every medical school of the country cpltured, genteel and patrio- tle, I could not believe, without tavesti gation, which Investigation must bring forth documentary evidence, attested and proven that eny Physielan here can justly be called a ‘Jjm Crew” dector I can not believe that aay of our physicians will ““ecab" or fawn in order to get the plaud it of white pharmacists, or a ‘ rake off” on the prescriptions they write. I cannot belleve that any of our doctors would gamble upon the health of their patients fo aqueeze a paltry sum froma white pharmacist. And thea we would retuc- tantly believe that any pharmacist ia our city would barter pillsfor patronage to any physician whatever It is prepester- ous that a Negfo physician should pre- acribe for a Negro patron and thea ad- vise the aforesaid patient to send his pre- scription tea white pharmacitt, Sut the tale is told of acertain physician whose patron refused a white physician, the aforesaid physician orderd sald patron to take his prescription toa wblte pharma- ‘cist. The patient refused and upon his refusal the doctor gaid that he woula take the prescription and have it filled The physician took the prescription toa white drug store. Now, inthe face of condi- tloas, this story reads like fiction. If it be a fact then, itis time that the Negrc open hiseyes, whet bis sensibilities and make certain emphatic demand. I believe ao far as it Is possible, that Negroes should patronize Negro doctors, Negro banks, Negro newspapers, Negro under- takers, Negro millineries. Negro what nots, but I cannot‘see why it would be unreasonable to empley a white physician Ifthe Negro physician forces hls patrons to send his prescriptions t6 a white phar- macist. If such conduct was the result of friendliness between the white pharmacist and the Negro Dector, thefe would be nothing so rediculous in it after all- but the rmcompetency cause is assigned, either expressed or Implied, the wicked- ‘ness is upon the aforesald doctor’ and the public should take him under considera- tion, Imake no specific charge against any Negro praticloner in the state, I ‘dread the day that will reveal the truth ‘of Mr Davis, allegations even ia far off ‘Allanta—windy Atlanta, boasting Atlanta. But Ido say iffacts can be_ established, showing that our Negro doctors advise Against race patronage and feta pace alonz the line by fercing their patrons tosend thelr prescriptions to white pharraacists, the atféation of the public should be em- phatlcally called to-the fact andthe public should demanda change or the pubiic should change. Now it would not take much argument to re¥ise the public thought with reference to the quallfica- tion of Negro physicians as compared with the whites. The anti-bellum feeliog of the Iaate superiority of the whites over the Negro still lingers In the being of the Antl-bellum Negro, and the Influence of the aati-bellum Negro is not yet dead. We aretrying to kill It, We ate trying to infuseloto the souls of the black maa —the new man—the new idea-the idea thar places are made by patronage— white places by white patronage black places bxblack patronage. Black doctors taust make places for black men or black patrons must make black dac- tors rich by patronage, Each is bound to the other and all are and of a right should be bound to make possible “by patronage, everything that would materially aid the race. Tam surely proud to. announce again, tbat, down here where our medicos sniff the saline breezes of the boisterous At- antic nod gaze upon the bosom of the ‘placid stream that was the dream of the “Yamacraws” our physicians are patrons and practitioners—they are the “two In one" and ne “dope” burled against them will stick Traly the “Jim Crow" doctor Js aa unkoown factor inour municipal Ufe and we feel blessed that our section Is not ‘nfested with this pest. es St. Mary’s Dots.

She was born at Grahamville, S. C., Jan. 1st, 1847. She came to Savannah when a girl and has since resided here. Mrs. Armstrong was twice married, her first husband being the late William Whitehead and second Stephen A. Armstrong, also deceased. In her thirteenth year she became a christian and up to her death she was steadfast in the faith and welcomed death. She was a faithful and active member of St. Philip's A. M. E. Church. The funeral service was held there Sunday following her death. After the choir sang "Salfwe meet beyond the river" Rev. Lindsay read a chapter and then by request the choir rendered "I would not live always," "My faith looks up to Thee" after which the pastor in his simple but eloquent way spoke of his visits to the deceased and her fortitude in Christ and her many virtues. The choir then sang "Asleep in Jesus" and the body was borne from the church, to Laurel Grove. At the grave the pastor committed the body while Miss Aurelia Allen, Mrs. R. Hudson, Mrs. F. DeZone, Mr. O. Holmes sang by request "Abide with me" "Son of my Soul." The floral designs were many and beautiful, and showed the esteem in which the deceased was held.

H@"was greeted ‘by hundreds of the people at=the ciose-of ‘tad service. Hig morning: subject was “he Ground | and Scope’ of. Christian Prayer.” The text was from Ephes- Yang 1:16-27, “Wherefore I also cease not'to give thanks for you, making ‘mention of you in my prayers.” Dr. MeCormick said: .- | “Saint Paul was A inad of prayer. H¢hbelleved in prayer. He was fully perguaded that between himself, 2 persecuted and tmprisoued ° apssile, and! needy saints everywhere, there ‘wad a yital and effective rotationship by,;"way.ef the throne of grace; To ity the questoh, Doé3 God answer, Prayer? had no eiistence.

It {s the.“peace of God,” God's peace, the Ydni and measure of peace which God has} and which Ho imparts to His ebfldyen who trust In Him, of which Jesugsald, “My peace, Megive unto you.” et ms ‘The ground of Paul's confidence ‘ta: prayer Is his conception of God and of ‘hisvown relation to God as a chose ambassador. Back of all-iis theoldsy and:cthical teaching lies ‘his own per- sonal experlence. God had touched his life and spoken directly. to him, ‘This experience was at once, his point of outlook and his unfailing ground ‘of.eonfidence for himself and for the church. = <His ‘conception .of God was that; God, is both transcendent and im- mament; above the world and in the workd; not the logical concept of philosophy, nor the unknowable force of science.’ He was.a personal God, whose.eternal power and Godhead are displayed.

Here he saw the mystery, hidden through, thazages, which the ‘angels desired to Took into, revealed in Christ; the unfolding‘of God’s eter- hal purpose to redeem a lost world from’ sin. This purpose is not new. It antedates and {s Involved in crea- tion. “It's as-strong and changeless as the nature of God Himself.

MAINE’S LOG HARVEST IS ON. 20,000 Men in Camp'Alfong the Renob- scot«--Markinzg of Logs.- a | OF THE “FOOT AND MOUTH” DISEASE rians Agree on ‘Symptoms, But Don’t Know Couns af the Batsaotte. Bangor, Me.—Maine’s annual log: harvest 1s now Sn progress, and an army of 18,000 or 20,000 ‘men are engaged in felling spruce, pine, hem- lock and cedar for the supply of the saw mills and the pulp mills in 1909. In the olden time the lumbermen used to walt for the snow to cover the ground before attempting to haul any. logs, but now the crews are sent in months before snow falls, and mill- fons of feet of logs are yarded on bare ground. About the middie of Janu- ary Yarding {s supposed to be finished and hauling begin. On the Penobscot alone this winter about 6000 men and 1500 horses are employed. Years ago there was al- sways a good supply of regular woods- men, but, latterly the natives have been seeking other employment. The young men of this day do not care to Zo into logging camps, with all sorts of associates, to-eat beans and swing axes all winter for $25 to $20 a month. Therefore great difficulty ts often experienced in getting crews. A woods crew 1s composed. of sev- eral classes of workers, There are choppers, who fell trees; swampers, who make the roads, clear away the small growth and trim the falleo trees; teamsters, who drive the log ,sleds; sled tenders, who load the sleds; markers, who cut with axes va- rious distinctive symbols upon the logs; cooks, who are the chefs of the camps, and cookces, who do the scul- lery work and wait upon the men. ‘The wages vary from $15 to $30 a month with board, and the season is usually from four to five months: The camps ate scattered over a vast of territory, extending for 200 more along the Penobscot lita branches, away back to the boundary line.

It {s highly in- fectious, and its Identity is deter- mined by the eruption of vesicles or Dilsters Im the mouth, around the coronet or top of the foot or hoof, in the cleft between its parts, and ‘(of the cow or she goat) on the udder. It ts most common in cattle and swine, The human species is also susceptible to it, but rarely to a ser- fous degree. ‘The specific cause of apthous fever has not been clearly demonstrated. ‘The virus is contained in the erup- tions.

The great sticks are tere branded with varioug symbols to denote own- ership, just as fn the case of cattle. | jj, mne marks must be indelible or they would be worn off by the bump- Ing and grinding of the logs against the rocks and shoals on the long drive to the booms, and in all the ninety years of lumbering on tho Penobscot no one has ever been able to deviso a better method‘of marking than with a sharp axe in the hards of a skilled woodsman. : ‘The marker {s deft and rather ar- tistie, and makes very few slips or er- rors.’ There is a head marker and several agsistants, and they stand upon theSgreat loz piles, swinging their ates with confidence and precis- jon, as proud of their skill as any chiseler of marble, ‘The marks cut upon the logs‘are- of wonderful variety. There can be no two allke and each must be distinctly cnt, else there would be confusfon at the gortlag booms and loud com- plaint, if not lawsuits, among the owners. To the common eye log marks mean no more than the hleroglyphics on the Central Park obelisk, but to the markers they are as plain as A, B.C. There are crosses, girdjes, stats, daggers, crowfeet, fishes, va- tions letters and combinations of let- ters, Iinks, notehes—a long-and com- plicated Ist, and for every new log owner a new and distinctive mark. wast be invented. ‘The eruption appears two or three ays later. It*consists of small yel- low-white vesicles or blisters, vary- ing in size from a hemp seed to a pea on the gums and inner surface of the lips, the insides of the cheeks and the under surface of the tongue. They burst soon after thelr appear- ance, sometimes on the first day. Tho blister may remain a day or two more and then disappear speedily, leaving deeply reddened areas of: erosions, which are very painful. They may become, normally covered again, or may be converted into ulcers. At this stage saliva forms in large quantities and hangs in strings from the mouth. In eight or fourteen days the disease may have entirely disappeared. From the eruptions on the feet of hoofs there is a viseld exudation, and the animal is subjected to so much pain that frequontly it moves about on-its knees. Tia is espectally true of sheep. The sores on the udder of the cow become exceedingly pain- ful, and after a little she ceases to give milk. ‘The effect of the disease on aby animal 1s to cause It to be- come extremely emaciated, and ever if it recovers promptly to greatly lessen its value.

"THE PAGE FOR WOMER, Evolution of What Was Onco Consia- ered o Startling -Idea. ‘There twas a time, however dim@alt ft may be to-realize, when women did not read newspapers, when in the ma-, jority cf cases the dally journal was regarded by them as an instdious enemy of the household; when the “gude housewife" began her busy day | opposite an autocrat, who in disdain- ful silence delayed the savory break- | fast too satisfy his curlosity regard- ing the antics of “bull-and bear; and ‘when tte youthful members of the family, unable to repress thelr bub- ‘biing spirits, brought forth. ebull!- | tons of paternal wrath from the gleaner of the stock market, In the evening the same conditions pre- 'yailed. My lord must needs retire ‘behind the well-filled sheet, digest ‘Its contents and steal forty winks be- fore beceming properly attuned to’ -witely confidences, and womankind, perforge from long years of experi- ence, accepted in a matter of fact way these conditions as part and par- cel of conjugal life. By and by there loomed upon the horizon an editor with an {dea, one who said to_himself, “Once a week I shall ru a story with feminine inter- est; the women may like it.” And like {t they did. Nay, more, they proved thelr appreciation by booming the circulation of that particular journal, and so gladdened the heart of the astute editor. Other papers took up the good work, following closely in thé footsteps of the cour- ageous pioneer, and thus {t cama to pass that, ice the ashings of a me- teor, paragfaphs began to scintillate in the leading newspapers through- out the land, concise, to be sure, but unmistakable {n thelr tendency to please women, Then came a day big with fate, when a valiant editor, throwing cau- |.tion to the four quarters of the globe, gave space to women writers on womanly subjects.; and thus evolved the “Woman's Page.” The effect was instantaneous, widespread and beneficial. The mind of woman broadened as she read, and, not con- tent with ‘the restricted sphere of fashions, recipes and beauty talks, she stepped over the borderland into the very domain of man, into the world of sclence and politics; grap- pling and treating the policies of the day with so rar? an Intelligence, so just an appreciation. that men could only wonder and exclaim at what they termed—phenomenal. To-day the Woman's: Page {s a fixture: No longer does the feminine end of the household await in trembling silence behind the coffee urn the pleasure of her life-partner. She has become the oracle which decides the choice of Journal in her particular province. ~ So powerful a factor is the woman editor and so far-reaching her influ- ence that even the masculine element seeks the benefit of her services. Nay, more; it has been known to consult this authority on the delicate sprout- ing of a microscopic mustache or plead for a suggestion in the adjust ment of a complex love affair. To be sure, in this wise old world, there are still many dodbting Thomases who relegate women to their so-called sphere—tho kitchen—whose dulled {ntellects deny the benefit accruing from the feminine atmosphere in Journalism, who sneeringly suggest that fashions alone are ladled forth to its many readers and who wilfully close their eyes to the growing in- fluence of women. These may be graphically classed under the genus Crank, and with whom there fs little sympathy. The spirit of comradeship is abroad In the land, and to-day men and women, hand In hand, traverse the paths of knowledge. What inter- ests one is-bound to please the other ‘The Woman's Page, silently and unostentatlously, crept Into the home life and 1s there the accepted coun- sellor, amellorator and all-round con- fidante of its many readers. It is made the arbiter of style and fashion, the “authority on eplcurean concoc- tions, a guide-book by land and sea, the healer of bodily ills, an adjuster of domestic cataclysms, the Black- stone of legal wrangies, the mouth- piece, pf woman’s emancipation, the restorér of fading loveliness, and, finally, the sympathetic receptacle in- to which gre poured the tribulations, amiseries and heartburnings of every- day commonplace humanity.—New York Evening Sun. How the Japanese Bathe. | In Japan every ong, rich or poor, ‘takes one hot bath a day. = Each house possesses a round, bar- rel-like tub, and in {t the bather kneels. The temperature of the wat- er varles from 110 to 120 degrees, and no Japanese thinks of taking less than an hour to bathe in. Before going Into’ the bath a fte- liminary serubbing takes place, for which each person {s provided With a brass bow! full of water and a small steol to siton. The bowl fs constant- ly refilled with hot water. and the skin thoroughly scrubbed. The body at last gets so perfectly cleansed that when its! owner steps Into the bath- tub the water is not “solled,” so to speak, . A Japanese considers his or her bath before food, and there is no doubt that the vitality andéndurance of the Japaneze are greatly due to their cleanly habits. .The water fs always heated by charcoal, and it is said that a Japanese woman takes five minutes td wash one arm! There are in the Stato of New York forty-three villages <! between 1006 and 2000 thabitants, -which have free Ubraries. - One pound of Zork is sufficient to ‘suppart a man. of ordinary slze-in the water. | Bin ap se yr Se oe E _ Bx eA ALESMEN WANTED é-)\ THE JR.

Atlanta, Ga.—Good roads, more of them and how to keep them in repair, held the attention of the delegates to the Southern Road Congress, which met in Atlanta. Interesting and practical talks were made by General Clifford L. Anderson, chairman of the county commissioners of Fulton; Judge W. F. Eve, county commissioner of Richmond for the past thirty years; L. W. Page, director of the office of public roads of the United States department of agriculture, and Dr. S. W. McCallie, state geologist of Georgia. The governor was elected permanent president of the congress, General Clifford L. Anderson was elected vice president, J. A. Rose of North Carolina was named second vice president and H. A. Alexander of Atlanta elected secretary. Resolutions were adopted calling upon the counties of Georgia to issue bonds for road improvement, and also one urging the federal government to take action towards aiding road building, and, in addition urging the senators and representatives to the United States congress to lay the matter before that body, with the end in view of having a definite plan of improvement adopted. OIL MILLERS TO MEET. Will Discuss Best Methods to Improve Quality of Cotton Seed. Atlanta, Ga.-Dr. A. M. Soule, president of the $100,000 Agricultural college at Athens, has extended to the oil millers of the state an invitation to meet with him next spring for the purpose of discussing how to improve the quality of cotton seed with a view to securing more cotton seed oil in the crushing. The oil millers of Georgia are evidencing considerable interest in another meeting discussed by the publicity committee of the Georgia Cotton Seed Crushers' association, to promote beef and dairy cattle raising in Georgia. The place and date of the meetings have not yet been determined, but Dr. Soule, having extended to the oil millers a cordial invitation to meet at Athens next spring for the purpose of discussing the quality of seed and deviling plans of improving the quality, it has been suggested that the oil millers accept Dr. Soule's invitation, and at this meeting perfect plans whereby thoroughbred beef and dairy cattle may be generally introduced into Georgia. Dr. Soule is a great believer in cattle raising and his splendid lectures on this subject while touring the state on the "Agricultural College on Wheels" last spring did much toward stirring up interest in this industry. At the agricultural course now being pursued there, and the cotton school which opens after the first of the year, especial emphasis is laid upon this important and profitable feature of farm life. It is believed that after the oil millers of the state make practical demonstrations of the feeding value of their product at their mills, the industry will be greatly increased. GRADES OF WHEAT DEFINED By Association of State Chemists of the South, Atlanta, Ga.—The Association of the State Chemists of the South, connected with the various departments of agriculture, after a most successful convention in Atlanta, have adorned. For the first time definitions of the different grades of wheat products were adopted. It is declared that wheat bran shall consist of the coarse outer skin of the wheat berry separated from the finer offal. Brown middlings shall consist of the fine particles of the outer bran, as well as the inner, or "bee wing," brand when separated from the wheat bran and wheat middlings. White middlings shall consist of that part of the offal from wheat leaf after separating from it the bran and the brown middlings. Ship stuff shall be composed of the brown middlings and the white middlings of wheat when run together. Wheat offal shall be composed of the bran, the brown middling and the white middlings of wheat when run together. PUBLIC UTILITY CORPORATIONS MITCHELL GIVEN TWELVE MONTHS. Jury Found Him Guilty of Assault and Battery. Thomasville, Ga.—W. H. Mitchell, alderman and former county treasurer of Thomasville, was found guilty of the charge of assault and battery, on his former ward, Miss Lucile Linton, who was his wife's most intimate friend. The verdict was received by the defendant with little show of emotion. Mitchell was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. THROUGHOUT THE STATE. About five hundred and fifty gallons of moonshine whiskey was sold in Atlanta, the government being the seller, and the buyers being members of a crowd of nearly two thousand persons, attracted by the unusual spectacle of a liquor sale in a "dry" community. The whiskey had been seized at illegal stills in Georgia foothills. Bidders paid from $2.25 per gallon, to $3.35, and on one lot, the bidding reached $3.70. This bid, however, was rejected when it was found that the bidder's thirst was bigger than his pocketbook, and that instead of desiring an entire keg, he wished only to "pay at the rate of $3.70 per gallon," for enough to make a few drinks. Honorable Lawton B. Evans, superintendent of education in Richmond county, has just returned from a visit to all the public schools in that county, and makes the statement that in point of enrollment, interest and allround progress, educational institutions under the jurisdiction of the board are enjoying a more prosperous season than ever before. At a number of schools in the rural districts, wagons are operated daily, transporting children to and from home, which system has proved markedly beneficial since it was adopted about six months ago. An interesting point of law will be settled at the approaching term of Floyd city court, when John Brown, arrested for larceny aftereer trust is tried at Roue. The charge against Brown is made by G. M. Henderson, a carpenter, who gave Brown a dollar to get him a quart of whiskey. Brown told Henderson to wait, then disappeared and the carpenter waited for several hours in the rain, but he did not return. Henderson returned to his home, disguised himself, in other clothing and loitered around the spot where he had been approached by Brown. The man approached and asked if he would not like to have a nice quart of whiskey for a dollar. Henderson's answer was a blow that felled him and a call for the police. Chairman S. G. Clendon of the railroad commission has signed an order authorizing the Elberton Southern Railway company to issue capital stock in the sum of $200,000 and bonds amounting to $250,000. The road was formerly known as the Elberton Air Line and was purchased recently by New York capitalists at a receiver's sale. The road will be improved and put in a first class condition. A charter has been granted to the American Banking and Trust company of Rome, Ga., a corporation capitalized at $500,000. The incorporators are G. D. Pollock, T. J. Simpson, J. L. Bass, C. R. Porter, G. B. Holder, J. W. Curry and R. W. Graves, all of Rome, Ga. The incorporators announce that over $25,000, the amount prescribed by law, has already been paid in. When President-elect William H. Taft made his notable address in New York city at the banquet of the North Carolina society, the walls all about him were festooned with cotton stalks grown within a few miles of Atlanta. The banquet was a typically southern affair, and Mr. Taft spoke principally on conditions in the south. It was appropriate therefore that cotton should be the principal decoration. The richly bolled stalks were shipped from Atlanta at the request of the Hotel Astor management. They were those used at the Cobb county exhibit at the state fair last fall. The shipment weighed two hundred pounds. The United States senate confirmed the nomination of Helen D. Longstreet, widow of the confederate general, as postmaster at Gainesville, Ga. The action of the senate in confirming the nomination on the day it was received was a special compliment to Mrs. Longstreet. Absentees from grill on the night of state and United States inspection of the national guard of Georgia, next year, will be punished by a fine of $10.00. This information was made public by Adjutant General A. J. Scott, of the national guard of Georgia, in general order No. 14 which announces the dates of inspection, giving the time and place and much necessary information concerning the inspections. They will be conducted by Major F. L. Palmer, United States army, retired, who has been assigned to the state by the United States war department, who will represent both the state and Uncle Sam on these tours. The inspection is to be both day and night, the day inspection being for the tents, equipment and the like. Major A. J. Twiggs, a prominent engineer and contractor of Augusta, who is superintending for McKenzie Brothers the construction of pliers upon which will be erected the new Center street bridge in that city has ordered a diver's suit, to be used in inspecting submarine work on the foundations. Expert divers charge so much for their services that Major Twiggs hit upon the idea of doing their work himself, thereby saving the city considerable money. A. C. Daniel is the champion grower of pecans in the Lexington section of the state. On his place near Arnoldsville this year he raised a large number and received $5 a bushel for them. One tree that is eight feet in circumference, bore about fifteen bushels. His finest tree is a volunteer. President-elect Taft received a committee from the Georgia delegation attending the waterways congress in Washington. He accepted the invitation extended him by the committee to attend a banquet to be given him in Atlanta some time during the first three weeks of 1909. Indoor target ranges will be installed in all of the armories of the national guard of Georgia. These ranges will be required—by one of the rules in the new book of regulations soon to be issued. Target practice will continue from November 1st to March 31st. The indoor range will be fifty feet. With the targets to be furnished and the manipulation of the rile sights, it will be possible to shoot as though the targets were two hundred, four hundred or six hundred and even ENROLLED IN A PATRIOTIC SERVICE.

TEMPLE OF REPUBLICS On May 11 President Roosevelt, in the city of Washington, laid the cornerstone of the first International Temple of Peace, Friendship and Commerce, the tangible evidence of the desire of the twenty-one American republics that war shall be no more in the Western world and that material prosperity promoted by international trade shall take its place. Distinguished men were present at the Jaying of the cornerstone and messages were spoken or sent by representatives from all of the twenty-one republics of America. The new building is to be the joint property of all the republics. The site provided by the American Congress is within a few hundred yards of the White House and is adjacent to the State, War and Navy buildings and the Corcoran Art Gallery. Mr. Andrew Carnegie contributed three-fourths of a million dollars to the erection of the building, and each of the republics has added an appropriation to the fund. The building is to be the home of the International Bureau, maintained by the American republics, and is to be made the centre of a continuous campaign of education, where one country may obtain accurate and up-to-date information of any other. A library on all subjects THE NEW BUREAU OF AMERICA PEAR WHEN C THE NEW BUREAU OF AMERICAN REPUBLICS AS IT WILL APPEAR WHEN COMPLETED. American is to be secured, and by every possible means the American governments are to be brought together with intimate acquaintance. The imposing building will stand on a five-acre reservation. It will be 169 feet square, the main portion standing two stories above a huge studded basement and being in turn surmounted by dignified balustrades. The rear portion, in order to cover a capacious assembly hall, will rise still higher. The general architecture will suggest Latin-American treatment, out of respect to the fact that twenty out of the twenty-one republics are of Latin origin. A large reading room will be a feature, where can be seen all the South as well as North American publications, besides important historical data. A beautiful assembly chamber that, for present purposes, may be called the "Hall of the American Ambassadors," will provide the only room of its kind in the United States especially designed for international conventions, receptions to distinguished foreigners and for diplomatic and social events of a kindred nature. The bureau is strictly an international and independent organization maintained by the joint contributions, based on population, of the twenty-one American governments. We have not been without our difficult problems of solution in the United States, but the republics of South America, have had a very troublesome and disastrous time in their national and international EMINENT GERMAN BACTERIOLOGIST. --- struggles and revolutions. The success of the United States Government has been a splendid example and inspiration to the sister republics of the South, and the foundation of this Pan-American Palace of Peace, Friendship and Commerce is an important epoch. The Tortoise as a Popular Pet. To say from 30,000 to 40,000 tortoises arrive in England annually is by no means an exaggeration. Ever since Gilbert White immortalized his pet tortoise these animals have been kept by many people as "destroyers of beetles and slugs and guardians of the kitchen garden," a false idea that no amount of repudiation has been able to eliminate; though they will eat snails with much relish, they greatly prefer their owner's choicest garden produce. Nevertheless, a tortoise is the most popular of reptiles. —London Field. "Ain't the Sox a great team?" demanded the Chicago girl. "Yes," admitted the Boston dam-sel.

The butter to the millionaire occupant of a Newport villa has sued one of his host's guests to recover $500 money loaned. After the notices by Newport grocers that they will no longer give millionaires unlimited credit this butter's suit is another token of the comparative poverty of some of the newly rich. In many households the butler, the chef, the footmen and the maids have more real money at the end of the mouth than the occupants of the villa. They get their board and lodging besides wages.

Among the Masons. This is a month of election. Each subordinate lodge is expected to elect its officers and have them installed on or before the 27th. Only elect the most faithful and efficient brother to officer. As soon as your officers are elected, forward to the Grand Master at Atlanta and the Grand Secretary at Savannah the names of them with their postoffice addresses. Do not wait until January to do this. This is a season of the year when we must not only think of loved ones, but of the poor in our midst. The widows and orphans should come in for a large share of our favor. The lodges in the state should follow the excellent example of Eureka Lodge of Savannah.

At any raid let us remember those poor orpha at Americus and make their hearts glad by sending them some kind of offering. The lodge should not fall to observe St. John's Day.

Alverson, G. P. Nebraska. Good Advice. A sister has said: "Visit the widows of Masons, and go not empty-handed; gloom and sadness will be. lifted by your presence." I would add, If you know of any sick or suffering that you can relieve either by gifts or by your presence, for a kind word often does more good than medicine, do not stop to ask if they are Masons' wives, sisters or daughters, but do good to all as you have opportunity. Then it will not be said of us, we are bander together only to help one another, rather, we are a band of helping, like the Good, Samaritan. The influence of our craft sity works in silence. It is seen. It makes no noise in t of ours, but we find and fee everywhere. It is like th spring which flows gently h. the rivulet which runs along du- night by the farmhouse, and is uset in its blessings, rather than like the Swollen river or like the mad rush of the fierce waters.
