The Savannah Tribune. VOL. XXIV. UNCLE SAM'S PAY ROLL Expenses Next Year WillSmash All.Former Records. SENATE REQURIES $750,000 House of 'Representatives $3,000,000 and the Presidential Household' Annually Costs $125,000. Washington, D. C. — When Unce Sam cast up his accounts preparatory to stock-taking after the holidays and began business for the year 1900 he found that he had a most expensive establishment in the three branches of his government—executive, legislative and judicial. Some idea of what the people will be called upon to expend during the year may be had from the bill making appropriation for the three branches of the government that have just been named. For the compensation of the senators of the United States there will be required for the next year $690,000, and for mileage they will also receive an additional $47,000, not including any of its various officers on any way. Capitol police will cost the people $77,950, while they are preserving the lives of senators and representatives. To pay the members of the house of representatives for their services there must be expended a total of $2,950,000, and for mileage they will receive an additional $154,000. Just now the president is receiving $50,000 a year for his services, and his official family is an expensive one to maintain, and is made up as follows: One secretary, $6,000; two assistant secretaries $3,000 each; two executive clerks, one at $4,000 and one at 4,500; sixteen clerks and doorkeepers, at $30,000; nine messengers, a chief steward, to look after the gastronomical wants of the president's family, watchmen, laborers, etc., costing approximately $10,000. In addition to this the president's stable comes in for an extra appropriation if needed, as well as the executive library, and for these purposes an additional $25,000 that the nation's lawmakers have provided sometimes come in handy. After the wants of the legislative branch of our big government machinery are provided for and the executive taken care of, it must not be forgotten that there is still another and very important division—the United States supreme court. In order that the chief justice and his eight associates, who are called upon to decide the big legal questions of the day may be properly considered in a financial way the lawmakers put them down at $13,000 and $12,500 a year, respectively. Then there are 29 circuit courts, the judges of which receive $7,000 each-84 district courts with a salary of $6,000 for each of the judges; the district court for Hawaii, $5,000. These are just a few of the biggest items in Uncle Sam's -expense account from year to year, which may be said to be fixed charges, inasmuch as no account is taken of the various appropriations that may be made by congress from time to time -for instance as a $50,000,000 river and harbor bill, or an $50,000,000 public building bill or similar measures. In addition to this there are all the big cabinet places, the head of which receive $12,000 a year for their services, their assistants $5,000, and so on down the line. With an ever-increasing population demanding extensions of the government service in every quarter there is apparently little opportunity for the watch-dogs of the federal treasury to do much economizing any time in the near future. $10,000 BEEFSTEAK DINNER. One Hundred Guests of Kessler Eat In a Fairy Refrigerator. New York City—In the icicle-lined for the occasion rathskeller of the Hatel Metropole one hundred guests of George A. Kessler sat down to a $10,000 beefstank dinner. The whole place he opened transformed into what looked like a wholesale butcher's refrigerating plant, with imitation ammonia pipes, a frosted ceiling, paperman steaks, painted tin cutlets—and all so natural that "Big Tim" Gullivan's teeth chattered as he shook hands with De Wolfe Hopper and "Diamond Jim" Brady. The favors were $50 silver mugs. The guests, who sat on wooden benches, ate off tables which were lamination cakes of ice. The beefsteaks were seven weeks old, "rare" and steaming hot. Haying discarded their furs and locked their jewels in the safe, the diners put on aprons, the men wearing ones just like ordinary retail butchers, and the women putting on combination long aprons and straw hats that gave them the appearance of rural milkmaids. The drink was every bit grape juice. FIFTY-THREE MEN DIE IN FIRE. Trapped by Blames Men Jump into Ice Water. Chicago, Ill. — Fifty-three men burned to death or drowned when fire destroyed the "intermediate water crib" in the most terrible lake disaster of recent years. In a few brief minutes before the entire wooden superstructure was ablaze, seventy-eight men had to determine between positive death by fire or a probable death in the ice-covered waters. Many of the men resisted the flames until the last minute, dropped into the water, clung to the edge of the pier until their fingers nearly burned off, then dropped to death. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH. GA. SATURDAY. JANUARY 23. 1909. LEE'S MEMORY HONORED. Appropriate Exercises Held Throughout the Southern States. Atlanta, Ga. — The Atlanta chapters of the Daughters of the Confederacy and Atlanta Camp No. 159, United Confederate Veterans, held their annual celebration of the birthday of Robert E. Lee in the hall of the house of representatives at the state capitol. Judge Beverly D. Evans of the state supreme court was the principal speaker of the occasion, and Judge George Hillyer, who introduced Judge Evans, presided. Raleigh, N. C. — The birthday of General Robert E. Lee was celebrated at the state university with an address by Dr. Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton university, Governor W. W. Kitchin, his official family and the members of the general assembly of North Carolina attended the lecture in a body, having accepted an invitation of President Venable of the university. Savannah, Ga.-Savannah celebrated Lee's birthday with a monster military parade, in which eighteen military commands, including infantry, cavalry, light and heavy artillery, naval battalion cadets and mounted police participated. New Orleans, La.-The one hundred and second anniversary of the birth of General Robert E. Lee was celebrated with appropriate ceremonies throughout the south. A feature that marks the commemoration in practically every town and city of the south is the distribution of crosses of honor to confederate veterans by the Daughters of the Confederacy. Appropriate exercises were held in this city. Washington, D. C.-In a letter to the Robert E. Lee Memorial association, President Roosevelt urges a permanent memorial to honor the confederate general. He pays high tribute to General Lee. Mobile, Ala.-The birthday anniversary of General Robert E. Lee was observed here by the confederate societies. All schools and banks were closed. The United Daughters of the Confederacy with Raphael Semmes camp and Jones M. Witthers' camp of veterans held a celebration on a large scale. Montgomery, Ala.-In this, the first capital of the confederacy, the birthday anniversary of General Robert E. Lee was observed quietly. Schools had a special Lee day program and the capital showed evidences of love and esteem felt for him. The star that marks the place where Jefferson Davis stood to take the oath of office was covered with a wreath of confederate colors. DONATE BODIES TO SCIENCE. Fraternity Has as Object Dissection of Members' Bodies After Death. Chicago, Ill.—The formation recently—among Bohemian residents of this city of a cremation society has led indirectly to the revelation of a medical sect of thirty-one years' standing. A score of prominent physicians and surgeons have admitted they are members of the Ustion fraternity, a society having for its object the dissection of the bodies of its members after death and cremation of the remains. This wierd fraternity is of national scope. Secret chapters exist in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland, Detroit and other cities in the east. Each chapter is known as a vertebrae. The Chicago chapter being the first organized is called the "prima vertebrae." Its high officer is known as the "Encephalon," the Greek word for head. Its next highest officer is the "Medulla." Its other officers are named after other parts of the human body. The members of the fraternity must undergo a preparation or apprenticeship of four years before they are admitted to full knowledge of its weird ritual. NEW YORK'S HUGE MAIL. Commission to Consider Congestion in Gotham Office. New York City.—Postmaster General Meyer's visit to this city was productive of the appointment of a commission to consider the congestion in the New York postoffice and to devise means for relieving it, and of a statement from the postmaster general of his purpose to make this city's facilities for handling mail unsurpassed in the world. It was shown Mr. Meyer that the mail matter handed at the New York potsoffice for a given six months weighed 101,351,766 pounds, of which 5,335,648 was local business. The New York office, single-handed, took care of nearly as much mail as Alabama, Arizona, California, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Indian Territory, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippl, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South-Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia put together. Allens Going Home. Washington, D. C.-For the year ended October 31, last, the number of allens arriving in this country was 655,263, while the departing allens that same period numbered 701,839, a net loss to the country of 46,576, according to a statement made by secretary Strus of the Department of Commerce and Labor. Another Treaty Signed. Washington, D. C.-With the signing of an arbitration treaty between the United States and Austria-Hungary at the State department, conventions of that character with more than twenty nations of the world have been agreed to. SECURED BY FRAUD Washington, D. C.—Information of a startling character, of alleged wholesale and astounding frauds upon the public lands, has come into the possession of Secretary of the Interior Garfield, through special agents in the field. The serious allegation is made that approximately $110,000,000 worth of lands, in states principally west of the Mississippi river, have been fraudulently acquired within the past two years by corporations and individuals. With a view of recovering these lands, Secretary Garfield sent letters to Chairmen Hale and Tawney' of the senate and house appropriations committee, respectively, asking for an additional appropriation of $500,000, which, if granted, with that already asked for, will give the department $1,000,000 for that purpose. It is stated that there is reasonable prospect of recovering much of this alleged fraudulently acquired land, if the appropriation is promptly made. It is also pointed out that, while a million dollars may seem large, it is not one per cent of the commercial value of the land which the government may hope, to recover. Secretary Gatfield also submits a statement of H. H. Schwartz, chief of the field service, showing over 32,000 distinct cases of alleged land frauds, and demanding further investigation. Among such cases awaiting investigation now pending are 1,960, divided among Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. HEARST'S AGENT ARRESTED. Sensational Arrest at Instance of Oklahoma's, Governor. Guthrie, Okla. — On a warrant sworn out by Governor Haskell, charging conspiracy to defame the governor, Scott MacReynolds, attorney and special agent for William R. Hearst, was arrested. Armed with a search warrant, also sworn to by Governor Haskell, MacReynolds' rooms at the Ione Hotel were searched by Sheriff John Mahoney and Orville T. Smith, private attorney to the governor, and a large amount of data and papers selzed pertaining to the $600,444 libel suit instituted by Haskell against Mr. Hearst. MacReynolds had collected a vast amount of data, all secured in confidence. In a statement made he declared that Governor Haskell's purpose in obtaining his arrest, and the seizure of his papers was to obtain possession of this information to ascertain his importance and to learn from whom he had obtained it. FIERCE ATTACK ON BOOSEVELT. Congressman's Insane Speech Stopped—May Expel Him. Washington, D. C.—Characterizing President Roosevelt as a gargoyle, and as "this pigmy descendant of Dutch tradespeople," and charging him with having "established a court in the white house, which would have delighted the heart of his admired Alexander Hamilton," Mr. Willett of New York, in the house of representatives, made one of the most bitter attacks on the chief executive ever heard in that body. Mr. Willett took for his theme "The Passing of Roosevelt." and in a speech of great length dealt with numerous of the president's acts since he came into office, and scathingly denounced them. So severe was the attack of Mr. Willett, that, after several efforts, public members were able to force him' to take his seat on a call to order before he had finished his sneeck. "DON'T ANGER US" Is Warning of Japanese Newspaper To the United States. Yokohoma, Japan.—Hochi newspaper, in an editorial addressed to Thomas J. O'Brien, American ambassador, and entitled "Don't Anger Us," says: "Japan is grateful to America for opening the country and reverses her as the land where virtue is honored, but fears that sooner or later repented insults will compel Japan to resort to a determined policy of self-protection. "The Hochi appeals to the president and the people of America. Although Japan still believes that the magnanimity that has prevailed in the past will continue, the ceaseless affronts are exhausting our patience." VALUE OF FORESTRY. Under Scientific Methods 102 Per Cent Increase in Timber. Washington, D. C.-Uncle Sam's national forests yielded an increase of 102 per cent. in timber last year, over the record for 1907, giving returns of $49,027. Twenty-five per cent of this amount went back to the states, to be allied to the fund for the support and maintenance of roads and public schools. The amount of timber cut from all the national forests was 392,792,000 feet, as against 194, 372,000 feet in the previous year. This figure for 1908 does not include the 131,482,000 feet given away to settlers, schools and churches under "free use" permits. LESE MAJESTE CHARGED. Sevental Newspapers are Called Before Federal Grand Jury. Washington, D. C.-Six Washington correspondents of out-of-town papers and a local newsboy received subpoenas to appear before federal grand juries and give testimony, presumably in connection with statements appearing in connection with statements appearing in their publications bearing on the Panama canal purchase. So far as it has been possible to ascertain, these were the only ones cited: Otto Carmichael, Charles S. Albert and E. Jesse Conway, all of the New York World staff; James Hornady, Indianapolis News; Jeremiah Matthews, New York Sun; Harris M. Crist, Brooklyn Eagle, and William Smith, a newsboy of Washington, engaged in selling New York papers. With the exception of Mr. Crist, who is commanded to go to New York and present himself before the grand jury of the circuit court for the southern district, the persons are directed to appear before the federal grand jury of the District"of Columbia. The World staff also were directed to bring with them files of the paper for September, October, November and December, 1908, "in the case of United States vs. The Press Publishing Company," publishers of the New York World. There is no doubt here that the subpoenas all have to do with a suit for libel, which, it is believed, has been brought by the government in New York against The World. It was the publisher of The New York World in connection with the publisher of the Indianapolis News, Messrs. Laffan and Delavan Smith, whom the president, in a letter dated December 1 last, to William Foulle, in response to one from him, severely denounced, and in his special message to congress of December 15, regarding the charges of corruption by or on behalf of the government in the matter of the canal purchase, the president announced that the attorney general had under consideration the form in which proceedings for libel against Mr. Pulitzer should be brought. Nowhere in the annals of the government has such actions before been taken as the United States government suing for criminal libel. The president, in his message, was most emphatic in saying that it should not be left to a private citizen to enter the suit, and he was particular to state that he did not believe "we should concern ourselves with the particular individuals who wrote the lying and libelous editorials, articles from correspondents or articles in the news columns. The real offender is Joseph Pulitzer, editor and proprietor of The World." It, therefore, is inferred that the correspondents were summoned as witnesses and not with the ultimate idea of making them co-defendants. NEWSY PARAGRAPHS. The home of the late Grover Cleveland at Princeton, N. J., is advertised for sale. The house had been Mr. Cleveland's home ever since his retirement from the white house, March 3, 1897. General Nelson A. Miles in speaking of the recent ninety-eight mile horseback ride of President Roosevelt, said it did not seem so long ago when he himself made a ninety mile trip on horseback in nine hours, reviewing troops at, the end of the journey. "Aren't you afraid that some strenuous person may get after you in regard to those figures?" he was asked by a reporter. "Well, if I'm pushed hard enough, I may go so far as to make the journey again," said General Miles. Possibility of hydrophobia, the result of having been scratched by a pet dog, is giving serious concern to John W. Gates, the multi-millionaire, and also his wife and others. When Mr. Gates reached Pasadena, Cal., to visit his son, he received a telegram to isolate his pet Boston bull pup, as three dogs, at his Port Arthur home that had been bitten by a tramp cur dog at the same time Mr. Gate's bull terrier was bitten, had developed hydrophobia. Mr. Gates, Mrs. Gates and others in the party have frequently been scratched and bitten by the animal in play. Miss Daisy Moore, who was rescued a mental wreck from the "Holy Rollers" at San Diego, is with her family in Oakland, Cal. No one is allowed to see her, and she is reported to be still very ill. Dr. Edward Newell of San Jose who led in the rescue of the young Baptist Sunday school teacher from the influence of the religious fanatics, says that the girl will regain her mental equilibrium if she is guarded from interference by her former associates. Miss Moore is evidently under a hypnotic spell and is partly unbalanced on religious subjects. An invention expected to bring joy to the hearts of those who are forced to use party telephone lines will shortly be placed on the market by a Brooklyn company just formed. The corporation is known as the Secret Telephone company. The apparatus is a simple device that may be attached to any telephone or switchboard, and its effect is to cut off all eavesdropping so that only the interested parties can hear the conversation that may be going on. A sensation was caused throughout South Carolina by the arrest of Joshua W. Ashley, for twenty years a legislator, on the charge of pénage. Mr. Ashley is a member of the house of representatives and is one of the best known men in the state. "DRY" MEASURE VETOED But Tennessee Legislature Overrides the Governor. MANUFACTURE OF WHISKEY Will Also Be Made Unlawful---A Measure to That Effect Having Passed the General Assembly. Nashville, Tenn.—Governor Patterson has filed with the clerk of the senate a message vetoing the statewide prohibition bill, which last week was passed by both houses of the legislature. The governor's action followed adjournment of the senate, after it had passed on third reading the bill prohibiting the manufacture in Tennessee of intoxicating liquors. The bill prohibiting the manufacture of liquor was amended so as to become effective January 1, 1910. With the two laws on the statute books, property worth many millions would be made practically worthless, vast revenues to the state, certain counties and cities would be cut off and anti-prohibitionists claim that taxes would necessarily become burdensome. Nashville, Memphis and Chattanooga are the only cities that would be affected by the bill prohibiting the sale of liquor, as local option laws are already in effect practically through the state. In his veto message, Governor Patterson charges that this legislation is against the democratic platform and the doctrine of self-government; that it sets aside the recorded will of the people; that experience has taught that no arbitrary prohibition law was ever obeyed and its enactment brings no settlement of the question; that it destroys property, reduces state revenues, increases taxation, takes money from the people to send it elsewhere, foments discord impairs the dignity of the commonwealth; fosters hypocrisy and invites evasion and deceit in the people. Over the veto of Governor Patterson both houses of the legislature passed the senate bill number 1, which prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquors within four miles of a school house in Tennessee, and is in effect a state-wide prohibition act. It is effective July 1, 1909. The vote in the senate, which came at 2:45 p. m., stood 20 to 13, the same as on the original passage. The house acted at 5:40 p. m., the vote standing 61 to 36, the original vote there having been 62 to 37. In each house the passage was effected through a co-ordination of republican and state-wise democratic strength. The action of the legislature practically brings to a close one of the bitterest and most sensational political fights in the history of Tennessee. State-wide prohibition was the main issue in the recent contest between Governor Patterson and the late E. W. Carmack for the democratic gubernatorial nomination, and, although Patterson, who advocated local option, won the nomination, the legislature elected in November last at the same time he was, has, after stormy times, gone against him. This came, however, with the aid of republicans, who gave the bill 22 votes in the house and five in the senate. Carmack, after his defeat for the nomination, continued the fight for prohibition through the columns of the Nashville Tennesseean, of which he was editor, and to the blitterness of this campaign is directly attributable the fight in which the former senator lost his life on the streets here November 9th last. WOMAN BURGLAR ALARMS. Sight of Stranger Causes Woman to Fire Five Shots. Chicago, ill.-Should a stranger in Lake Bluff, which has recently been the scene of many robberies, incur the suspicion of any woman resident hereafter, here is what will happen. The woman will rush to a second-story window and fire five shots from a revolver. She will then begin to toot a tin horn she has been instructed to blow. Her women neighbors will open windows and took their horns until there is a mile and a half of tooting. The citizens' committee lately formed has issued an elaborate list of instructions as to the method of quelling the maurauder and results are awaited with interest. OIL FINE IN TEXAS. Upheld in the Supreme Court of the United States. Washington, D. C.-The supreme court of the United States affirmed the decree of the state courts of Texas imposing a fine of $1,623,000 on the Waters-Pierce Oil Company of St. Lolus, and ousting it from the state on the charge of violating the Texas anti-trust law. MORE COTTON MARKETS. Secretary Wilson in According Witn Suggestion of New Orleans. Washington, D. C.-Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is in thorough accord with the suggestion made to him by President W. D. Thompson of the New Orleans cotton exchange, for an extension of the field for consumption of American cotton, and will do anything in his power to promote such a movement. The secretary suggests, however, in a letter to President Thompson, that the proposition should be brought to the attention of the department of commerce and labor, whose province is to investigate foreign fields for extending American commerce. LATE NEWS NOTES. The receivers of the Seaboard A2 Line railroad in Norfolk, have awarded contracts for rolling stock aggregating about $800,000. The Chinese harbor boat Samstul fired two shots at the British steamer Chenpo for fouling a wood raft. This angered Captain Lewington, of the Chenpo, who, arming himself with a revolver, boarded the Samstul in a small boat, arrested the commanding officer and turned him over to the captain of the British gunboat Robin. The occurrence is now being investigated by the captain of the Robin and the British consul. A serious "no rent" campaign has begun in Tipperary, Ireland, owing to the refusal of the landlords of several estates to sell land to the tenants under the land purchase act of 1903. The judge, in issuing decrees against thirty-six recalcitrant tenants, said that the landlord was making a mistake in not selling the lands, as it would involve all the old troubles of evictions and martyrdom to tenants. The priests and the public generally are supporting the tenants strongly and are raising funds for their defense. The struggle promises to be severe. In an effort to stem the increasing number of "affiliates and make martial infidelity a thing to be shunned by both husbands and wives," Senator Dennis J. Harte of New York is to introduce a bill in the state legislature providing a twenty-year penalty for such offense. Ap increase in the number of moonshine whiskey stills destroyed in Alabama, Florida and Georgia during the past six months, as compared with any previous six months, was reported by the United States internal revenue department at Atlanta, Ga. Three hundred and ninety-seven illicit stills were destroyed in the three states and about two thousand gallons of whiskey seized. Eighty per cent of the stills destroyed were in Georgia. New York will furnish the bath tub to be used by President-elect Taft on his trip to Panama. It was made especially to accommodate Mr. Taft. Efforts were made to secure the tub in Norfolk, Va., but there was none to be had of the required capacity and New York was appealed to. The tub is to be installed on the cruiser North Carolina. Washington. The collection and publication by the director of the census of statistics of stock of baled cotton in the United States, to be summarized as November 1, December 1, January 1 and March 1, in addition to the cotton-reports, is proposed in a joint resolution presented in the house by Representative Lever of South Carolina. Lydia Kamekaha Llliukolani, former queen of the Hawaiian Islands, who is in Washington making an appeal to congress for compensation, for the crown lands which she lost when the islands were annexed to the United States, said in an interview that although fifteen years had passed since she yielded her authority over the kingdom to avert bloodshed, she yet believes congress will make some reparation for her great financial loss. General James Allen, chief signal officer of the United States army; Major George O. Squire and Lieutenant Lahn appeared before the subcommittee on ordinance and fortifications. General Allen has askell for $500,000 with which to carry on the aeronautic branch of the signal corps service. The erection of a monument in Washington to the memory of Abraham Lincoln is recommended in a resolution introduced by Senator Dick of Ohio. The monument it is provided, shall "be worthy" of his great fame, his service to humanity and to his country and fittingly commemorate the grandeur of character, the nobility of life and epoch-making career." The Italian relief fund of the American Red Cross Society has passed the $900,000 mark. In reporting the naval appropriation bill to the house the committee on naval affairs fixed the amount needed for the maintenance of the naval service during the fiscal year 1910 at $135,662,888, as compared with the $122,662,485, the present appropriation. A remonstrance against a further increase of the United States navy signed by two hundred and twenty-four clergymen of various denominations in Boston, Mass., was received by congress. It is the belief of the ministers that naval preparations have grown so enormously as to become a distressing burden upon the richest nations and an actual menace to the peace of the world. The senate has passed the bill permitting the use of the pension office for the inaugural ball in connection with the main inauguration of Mr. Taft. Senator Scott, in charge of the measure, explained that it contained the usual provision for special police, etc., "to provide for the pickpockets and others who come here on occasion of inaugurations." The story of the striking economic features of man steel and iron industry developed in the face of natural advantages, is told in a report of special Agent Charles M. Pepper, made public by the bureau of manufacturers of the department of commerce and labor. An increase from 7,000,000 tons in 1900, to 12,000,000 tons in 1908 is noted. anty Aid an ON, Supt. of Ageno The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society HOME OFFICE WEST BROAD STREET, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA.

R. E. Parsi Treasurer of the State of Georgia. grow and develop, they find now that agitation of the soil is what is needed rather than the roller to form a crust. I have seen great fields of wheat from about two to three inches high, where the farmer took his harrow and went over the whole field. A man who did not understand the dry-farming process would think that he was going to destroy his crop entirely; but it has been found that the agitation of the soil brings up the moisture that has fallen in the winter, so that the roots of the grain can receive it, and thereby it develops into perfect grain, and is cut and thrashed, and the results show a profitable and successful crop. I know in my state we have whole districts where ten years ago no person on earth ever thought that there would be a kernel of grain raised, and today that whole district is raising thirty bushels of wheat to the acre as a result of the dry-farming process. Mr. President, we have in the state of Utah parts of whole counties where it is impossible to get water to irrigate an acre. The whole water-shed surrounding the county is such that it is impossible that water can be stored in any way, and our state legislature has appropriated time and time again for the purpose of trying to find water sufficient in those districts, by way of artesian wells or by boring deep wells, to enable people to live upon those lands. But it has been utterly impossible to get one single drop of water there, and today men live in little villages, where there are the school-house, the church, and the community interests, and have their farms thirty-five miles off. Such a farmer has to haul every drop of water that distance for his horses and for his own use. He cannot ask his family to go and live upon the land. They cannot do it. He goes by himself and cultivates it in the spring; he has his little cabin there and remains during the harvesting of the crop. It is cut and thrashed right on the land, and then the grain only is drawn to his home. Miss Ruby cently graduate art class in the and until a dumb. Women for personal tax and Yolk.

Once Thought Useless Yielding Thirty Bushels An Acra. By Senator Smoot. R. President, as I started to say before interrupted, the process of dry farming is this: First, they have to have deep ploughing. The land is ploughed in the fall, and, being loose, the snows that fall during the winter find their way into the ground. The old theory of dry farming was that the top soil should be almost baked in order to keep the water in the ground from evaporating, but under the modern method that is not the proper way to dry farm. As soon as the grain is planted in the spring, in order to make it M grow and develop, they find now that agitation of the soil is what is needed rather than the roller to form a crust. I have seen great fields of wheat from about two to three inches high, where the farmer took his harrow and went over the whole field. A man who did not understand the dry-farming process would think that he was going to destroy his crop entirely; but it has been found that the agitation of the soil brings up the moisture that has fallen in the winter, so that the roots of the grain can receive it, and thereby it develops into perfect grain, and is cut and thrashed, and the results show a profitable and successful crop. I know in my state we have whole districts where ten years ago no person on earth ever thought that there would be a kernel of grain raised, and today that whole district is raising thirty bushels of wheat to the acre as a result of the dry-farming process. Mr. President, we have in the state of Utah parts of whole counties where it is impossible to get water to irrigate an acre. The whole watershed surrounding the county is such that it is impossible that water can be stored in any way, and our state legislature has appropriated time and time again for the purpose of trying to find water sufficient in those districts, by way of artesian wells or by boring deep wells, to enable people to live upon those lands. But it has been utterly impossible to get one single drop of water there, and today men live in little villages, where there are the schoolhouse, the church, and the community interests, and have their farms thirty-five miles off. Such a farmer has to haul every drop of water that distance for his horses and for his own use. He cannot ask his family to go and live upon the land. They cannot do it. He goes by himself and cultivates it in the spring; he has his little cabin there and remains during the harvesting of the crop. It is cut and thrashed right on the land, and then the grain only is drawn to his home. "Something For Nothing." "Something For Nothing." By President Hyde, of Bowdoin College. HE most prevalent vice of the American people is the desire to get something for nothing. Maine has the disease as badly as Oklahoma or Nevada. This State receives thousands of dollars a year of revenue from all over the country for organizing corporations under laws that were drafted in the interests of thieves to make wholesale stealing easy. A large number of our substantial citizens the other day found themselves the T proud possessors of a lot of worthless paper. They had bought bonds in a certain corporation capitalized at six or eight times the value of the consolidated properties, attracted by the promise that they might pay not in cash, but by notes, and that while their notes would draw interest of only $250 the bonds would be paying interest on the $1,000, thus giving them a clear profit on their interest accounts at the same time that their bonds were making the expected rise in market value. They woke up to find their notes promptly hypotheticated, payment demanded, and the securities worthless. Swindler and swindled are smooth outside and rough inside; of the same piece of moral shoddy. The first principle of an honest man, whether farmer, merchant, lawyer or financier, should be to have nothing to do with any enterprise which is not honestly organized and economically and efficiently administered; to let severely alone every form of business which offers him a profit based on a corresponding loss to some one else.

The Three Australian Convicts, Very different from most of these, and truly wild men, were three Aus- tralian convicts. In 1833 a party of Tasmanian settlers who had shortly before landed on the Victorian coast, in the nelghborhood of what is now Melbourne, were startled by the ap- proach of, an aboriginal, as he seemed. He was a giant (six feet five inches without his boots, as was afterwards’ ascertained); not black, t soon appeared, but browned by exposure; with long matted hair and a patriarchal sweep of beard. He parried in his right hand two spears and in his left a waddy ond a boom- erang; and he was clothed in kan- garoo skins. He sat down among his fellow-countrymen, for such they were. They spoke to him and ques- Honed him, but no word of answer ould be got from him. He remained in 2 kind of mental stupor, the brain refusing to act. Not till after ten lays did the long-closed cells of speech and memory begin to unlock und yield’ thefr secrets. Even then ut little could be extracted from nim. Partly from himself, but main- y from his black “gin,” a few con- fused details were learned. His name was William Buckley. Born at Macclesfield in 1780, ha was frafted from the militfa into the, Fourth Infantry Regiment. With it 1 served on the Walcheren expedi- fon and at Gibraltar. There he was cused of mutiny and transported o Botany Bay. From New South Vales in 1803 he was deported to yictoria, whither a band of conylets ras sent under Judge-Adyocate Col- ins.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1909 An anti saloon convention will be held in Atlanta next month by members of the race. Along the uplifting lines our people can be strongly noted. JUDGE Taft spoke to our people of Atlanta on Saturday, to the Y. M. C. A. at Augusta on Sunday and at Haines Institute on Tuesday. Each of these addresses was on a high plane. TILLMAN has denied that he is entirely against Negro education. Yet he says that he is not in favor of fully educating the Negro unless the fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution is repealed. In this the senator has paid the Negro a high compliment because he says in fact that the Negro will outstrip the white man if he is educated and the fifteenth amendment is not repealed. ONE of the strongest banks in the state threw up the doors of its magnificent new building for inspection on Tuesday. It is indeed a handsome building and finely finished. This bank contains the deposits of a larger per cent of our people than any other in the city. Notwithstanding this a jim crow department has been arranged for them. Before the merging of the two banks this department was inaugurated by the Southern and which caused hundreds of dollars to be withdrawn by those of our people who would not stand for such arrangement. It remains to be seen how the others will enjoy the present gilded jim crow cut off. In his address at Haines Institute on Tuesday, Judge Taft paid a glowing tribute to Miss Lucy C. Laney. He said: "That a colored woman, could have constructed this great institution of learning and brought it to its present state of usefulness speaks volumes for the capacity of that woman." After reviewing the hardships and struggles which the work had entailed, he continued: "Therefore I shall go out of this meeting, despite the distinguished presence here, carrying in my memory only the figure of that woman who has been able to create all this." This tribute is a just one. Miss Laney is worthy of every word uttered and more too. Everything being equal, the work she has done looms up brightly with that of Dr. Washington's. As Sayannahians we love Miss Laney and are interested in her work. Having taught in the public schools here before going to Augusta, she has left an impress for good that will never be eradicated. We have seen 20 Negro slaves landed at Jamestown before Plymouth Rock was touched by Pilgrim feet, grow into 10,000,000 freemen. We have seen their descendants prominent in every war, whether for colonial independence, to preserve the Union, or to liberate millions in the Antilles or the Philippines. We have seen them patriotically baring breasts to shot and shell, sabre stroke and bolo, perishing by thousands, but always keeping the old flag symbol of a nation's honor, from trailing in the dust. We have seen them as ministering angels in the fever camps and hospitals, as devoted teachers in the schools, professors in the colleges and universities, preachers and theologians, doctors and deans, poets and musicians, editors, authors and publishers, inventors, Chautauqua orators, congressmen, ministers plenipotentiary, and occupying thousands of offices within the gift of government. And we have yet to see a Negro traitor!—News Democrat. Douglass Memorial Under date of March 20, 1908 I had the honor to submit an appeal to the Negro people of the United States reading in part as follows: "Some two or three years ago the suggestion was made at a banquet of the Pen and Pencil Club of Washington, D. C., that something should be done to assist the efforts that were at that time being made to preserve and transmit as a legacy to the Negro people of this country the home of Frederick Douglass at Anacostia, District of Columbia. "The custom of celebrating the anniversary of Frederick Douglass? death is already widespread among our people, but it seemed to those of us who were present at the dinner of the Pencil Club, given in honor and memory of Frederick Douglass, that the time had come when his memory should be preserved in something less perishable than after-dinner speeches, however eloquent. It seemed to us that the time had come when we could properly appeal to the masses of our people to assist in preserving the Douglass Home, with all its memories and traditions and make it a permanent memorial not only of our great leader but to the Negro people of the United States, as well. "An association, known as the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association, has been formed to effect this purpose. I have been asked by the officers of the Memorial Association to assist in securing the comparatively small sum of money amounting to some $5,400 and interest necessary to clear off the mortgage on the property and so secure the property for all time to the Association and the Negro people of the United States." February 14th, is generally celebrated as the birthday of Frederick Douglass. I wish to emphasize the above statement and ask that Negro fraternal organizations, churches and Sunday schools throughout the country set aside this day in celebration of Mr. Douglass' devoted services in behalf of the race. The 4,800 still remaining unpaid should be raised this year. I want to especially urge upon those in charge of the above named organizations that properly arranged programs may be followed and that systematic collections be taken to the end that we may wipe out this indebtedness of $4,800 and make Cedar Hill a Mecca for our people as Mount Vernon is to the white people of the country. The masses of the people, if properly appealed to will be sure to respond and liberally. Amounts, how ever small, will be greatly appreciated, and may be forwarded to me at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama or to any of the officers of the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Jan. 1909 Marriage at Pineland.

Quarterly Conference at the Monumental. Sayannah, Ga., Jan. 18, 1909. 10 THE EDITOR SAVANNAN TRIBUNE. Dear Sir--Please permit space for a brief statement from the above church. Last Friday evening was our first quarterly conference, Rev. B. S. Hannah presiding. He seem to be at home in the executive chair, and presided with dignity and ease. Dr. L. A. Townsley our new pastor had everything ready, (except two reports) and the business moved off with celerity and ease. Mr. J. Butler was elected secretary, with Mr. T. J. Ihlenderson as assistant. The bounds were fixed and marshals appointed. The disciplinary questions were dispensed with and a marked increase was shown durning the thirty days of Dr. Townsley's pastorate. The organization of the various board and the arranging of the committees for the years' labor, shows that the pastor is thoughtful, far-sighted and at home anywhere in the great A. M. E. Church. The following are the amounts raised from the different departments of the church to wit: Trustees raised this past quarter $145 44 pastor 326.45 Stewards raised this past quarter Presiding Elder 35.00 Raised for wine and benevolences 68.30 " " travelling Ministers 10.25 " " from Stewardesses $38'00 Auxiliaries $23.00 61.00 Raised from parsengage aid $15.00 S.

The presiding elder prescheduled two able sermons and the people enjoy ed them. Three members were added to our church Sunday evening. The following were confirmed as stewards, viz J.S Daniels, Paris Hamilton, T J Henderson S M Handshaw, J B Butler, J S Grant, R.

Nebast, Katie Laurie, Susan Smith, Anna Life, Peggie Robinson, H Williams, O Green. The pastor contemplates the organization of the DJsers Association Wednesday evening. Dr. Townsley has put new life into our church and placed it on a systematic method for work. He is prompt to the minute, and moves among his parishoners with grace and ease. Every department of the church is touched by him, and he is found in every one of them, bury at work and not spectating. He is a God-sent to us, and we will show our appreciation by our work and support. Twenty-six persons have joined the church during his stay at present. Thos. Walker, Reporter Quarterly Conference B $ Hannah, P E. L S Townsley, P C St. Mary's Charity Aid Society In St. Benedict's Church. Twelve months ago several ladies of St. Benedict's congregation gathered together and formed a new society, which they called St. Mary's Charity Aid Society. They elected Mrs C Mills as first president of the society. During the past year these ladies have done good work in getting new members and in making the rules of their society and today it is splendidly organized. As its name indicates, the aim of this society is above all to unite its members by the sweet bans of Christian charity and to help each other in time of sickness and of death. What we want in the lonesome days of suffering and sickness, is not only financial help, but also the consoling visit of good friends; we want a kind a cheerful word even more than the dollar. Mindful of the sacred duty of visiting and consoling the sick, the members of St. Mary's Society have appointed a committee of several ladies who will visit the sick members of St. Benedict's congregation and give them help and assistance whenever they are needed. Many young ladies have joined the new society, and at the first meeting of the new year, they have elected a young, bright and energetic president in the person of Miss Marie Taylor. The other officers of the society are Mrs. M. Lapham, vice president; Mrs. S Cuyler, treasurer; Mrs. Ford, clerk of order; Mr. J. M. Dowse, secretary. Mr. Dowse is the only male member of the society and has been admitted to it and elected as its secretary by a special privilege, this certainly is a great compliment to Mr. Dowse, who is the devoted and talented secretary of some other societies attached to St. Benedict's Church. F. B. B. Church Dots. F. B. B. Church Dots. On last Sunday doring, Rev. Sims preached a real historical sermon of the F B B Church. His text was from Sol. 23-9, subject "Preservation and succession." He began by saying that good children like it sit still and hear their elder tell of family matters. We sat very still while he told of the hardships and trouble that Rev. Bryan endured to establish the oldest church in N. A. 122 years ago. On Sunday night, the church had as its guests the Grand United Benevolent Society. Rev. Wright read for the lesson Phil. 21-22. The text was from Rev. 113, subject "We want to let you see the Redeemer." The sermon was just what you might have expected: from one who has seen the Redeemer for himself. It was a noble sermon. At the close the choir sang "When we reach the Pearly Gates." Rev. Wright led the hymn "A throne of grace." He asked those who felt the need of a Saviour to come to the mercy seat. The society stood and Rev. Wright prayed for all in the most earnest and fervent tone. The society contributed liberally to the church, pastor, choir and sexton. Come down and attend the last of the anniversary services on Sunday and commune with us Sunday afternoon. Second Baptist Church. Second Baptist Church We were blessed with good preaching here through the week. Rev. Richard Carroll, Ph. D. of Columbia, S. C. preached Sunday at 1 a.m., it was one of the best sermons ever delivered in our pulpit. The pastor being physically unable to preach, Bro. Rogers preached and admirable sermon Sunday night. Rev. Dr. Smith of Jacksonville, Fla., preached a powerful sermon Thursday night. The choir which is under the general supervision of Mr. C. F. Waters has been raised to the standard of yore; the number of young men and women has been raised to about 20 and all were in their places at both hours Sunday and did credit to themselves also their teacher. All who attended the services were perfectly delighted, and expressed themselves as being aware of the choir reaching up to its former rank. Everybody invited tomorrow to hear the special music by the choir; the pastor will be exceedingly brief in his sermons in order for the choir to have ample time to give satisfaction to the great crowds expected here tomorrow. The Choral Union, meets every Wednesday day night and two more members are wanted. The names of the more installed members into the choir will appear in The TRIBUNE next week. The reception given by the Deaconess Board, to the pastor, deacons, and all annually elected officers here last Wednesday night was a swell affair; the choir with our incomparable organist Miss Essie Monroe, again captured their hearts with surpassing ease. Many thanks to the good sisters and choir. The sick list is large, those on the list; Sisters Nora Brown, Price and Gordon Lane, Mary Jane Bass, Floyd and Perry streets, Florence Robinson, Price and Hartridge streets, Sarah Dixon, Charity Hospital, Rena Barnard, 528 N coll street, so sisters Simmons, Jackson, Greene, Johnson, Flowers, Gaines, Lewis, also brother Alex.

Preacher will also indicate some of the prophecies and of the beautiful figures of the old times referring to the Redeemer of the world. St. Phillip Dots. The most successful quarterly conference ever held at St. Phillip Church, West Broad and Charlts streets, came to a close on Sunday night. B yond the sanguine expectations of the pastor and officials, the record was broken and will go down in the history of the church as such. Rev. R H Singleton, D D, the presiding elder of St. Philip and the West Savannah District, one of the foremost ministers of the great A f E Church, a recent candidate for the bishopric and who has held many important positions in the church, preached at the morning and night services to the most representative congregation that ever assembled in St. Philip. Dr. Singleton held his audience spell bound for more than three quarters of an hour with his oratory, eloquence and the biblical truth that were expounded and the instruction and advice given to the young men and women; the solace to the aged and infirm brought forth tears from every eye. If we would just take heed to the appeal made by this great man of God, Bro. C H Price one of our old fathers who fell asleep in bed on Tuesday of last week was buried from St. Philip on Friday. Bro. Price in his younger days was one of the most widely known members and officials of St. Philip. He filled various positions as trustee, choreist, superintendent of the Sunday school, class leader and secretary of the trustee board. Sister Young also of the board. Sister Young also of the Sunday school from St. Philip. The musical entertainment given on Monday night was quite a success and a part of the proceeds will be the same of the proceedings for the ensuing year by Presiding Elder Dr. Singleton at the session of the quarterly conference on Friday night: S. J. Howard, A L Bradwell, F J Dixon, A G Holbrook, W Quarterman, B J Jackson, R W Cole, F Y Symons and R Barnes.

Friday night marked the beginning of Dr. B S. Hannah's first quarterly conference at this church. He easily captured his listeners on Sunday at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. Sunday School opened at 2:30 p.m, with a full attendance, both tachers and scholars seem bent to make this school second to none. Eight new scholars were added. Class-meeting on Tuesday night was well attended upward of two hundred being present. Four were added to the church. The Usher's association met Wednesday night and installed officers. We invite all to attend services with us, comfortable seats and liturature furnished by the ushers for each service. Rev. L. A. Townsley, R. W. E. Irwin Reporter. First Tabernacle Church Dots On last Sunday morning at 5 o'clock, a goodly number of the faithful members met to witness a warm prayer service and each one present was made to rejoice. The pastor, Rev. B. H. J. Carrawel delivered two powerful sermons, the morning sermon being directed to the children, as the Sunday School having been changed from 3 p. to 9 a. m. many of the children remained for the services. This being the first Sunday since the change, it was indeed gratifying to see so many of the children, as well as the older ones present; Under the leadership of he Supt W. Howard, much good is howd for. : St. James Dots.

Morning Star Dots. Morning Star Doe The Morning Star Baptist Church held its regular services at the Sisters hall, Rev. H. L. Heywood, pastor. At 11 a.m. B.o. Haywood preached an ex elitist sermon on subject, "Sowing and reaping." Sunday School at 3 p.m was largely attended. At 8:30 pastor Haywood conducted the services and spoke from the subject "A business transaction with God." This was a master piece and he captured the audience and many came forward for prayer. He conducted the funeral service of Sister Mary Darby. She was a member of the Union Baptist Church. The church was filled, Golden Link Lodge No. 18, and Courts of Calanthe were out. It was said that this was one of the best sermons our pastor ever preached. Services will be conducted at 11 a.m by the pastor and 8:30 p.m by Brother E. L. Heywood He is a strong gospel preacher.

Dull cares were cast aside and all thought of plodding through the streets with heavy ladden bags and arms full of letters and papers were forgotten at the annual installation and banquet of Forest City Branch, No. 578, N. A. L. C. The following officers were first installed by Mr. Goo. F. Tyson: P. A. Denegall, President. S. B. Cooper, Vice-President, L. M. Pollard, Treasurer W. G. Williams, Financial Sec. A. A. Lovett, Cor. Secretary, A. D. Monroe, Sergt. at Arms, Howard Styles, Collector M. B. F. L. Curley, F. P. Edwards, Geo. F. Tyson, Trustees. M. B. Branham delegate to National Convention which meets at Minneapolis, Minn. After the installation, the members and guests were invited to the prepared dining room where the table showed up in away appealing to the appetite of all surrounding it. Service was in courses and each was prepared in a delicious manner and full justice was done by all present. Mr. Tyson acted as toast master and the president, Mr. Denegall, responded first, giving an inaugural address reflective of much for the good of the association. Nearly every one present paid a tribute to the organization, and the retiring president, Mr. M. B. Branham, was given a large share on account of his efficient administration. The occasion was an enjoyable one, and much mirth was in evidence. The "Rig Gig" by Mr. Dowse, "Rice Straw" by Mr Curley, the N. P. S. song by a few of that set, and especially Mr. Geary's "brass band" added to the pleasures, terminated by the parting song. The special guests were Mr. D. J. Scott, Dr. J. H. Bugg and Tim TRINUNE representative, each of whom gave expressions of delight on being present. The banquet was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. King, West Bolton street. Mesdames S. A. King, A. D. Monroe, F. L. Curley and M. K. Miller assisted the committee in serving. This occasion was voted one of the best ever had by the carriers, who deserve all that they enjoyed and more too, because the force is second to none in the service. Token of Appreciation. Tuesday evening last the Married Ladies Circle entertained a few friends at the cozy residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Davis. The occasion was one of the most pleasant ever had by the Circle, and each attendant vied in expressing themselves that way. Coincidently the date of the social and birthday of the hostess were the same. This was happily remembered by the members of the Circle, who through Mrs. M. B. Branham presented Mrs. Davis an exquisite cut glass powder bowl with a neat oxidized top. The presentation took Mrs. Davis by surprise, and who responded in an appreciative manner. The ladies extended words of congratulation and felicitated her not only on her birthday, but for the sincere friendship that exists among them. Painters Day at Charity Hospital.

Charity Hospital is now taxed to the limit of its capacity, every bed in the building is occupied. There is great need of enlargement and the management is endeavoring to acquire more room and it is hoped that this movement will be the beginning of great growth for Charity Hospital.

But the pretty dress bought by a girl with her own earnings means a triumph and a joy as the human heart can know. That dress is a part of the girl her- self.

The winds of winter may displace a board or rail here and there; but a few hours’ labor will re- pair a mile of fence tn the spring when it is put in good order in the fall. New fences may be bultt in the fall as well 2s in the spring. In brief, hundreds of dollars may be saved on farms by-doing work in the winter that {s usually left tll spring, and then but half done for want of time.— Weekly Witness. iy — “ee, Keeping Seed Potatoes. ~*~ The ideal method of keeping seed potatoes is claimed to he cold storage. Potatoes thus Kept at Ohio station have come out sound and fresh, with no, indications of sprouting, and theiz vitality unimpaired, even so late as the first of June. It is important, however, that the temperature of the cold storage room should not fall be- low thirty-five degrees, nor should it tise much above forty. When cold storage 1s not vallable, sprouting may in some measure be prevented by shoveling the potatoes frequently. —Farmers’ Home Journal. ~ Care of Stock, So far as thelr proper bedding, feeding and ventilation are con- cerned, it 1s too ‘mportant a matter for tho thrifty farmer to neglect at- tending to himself. However trust- worthy his assistants, judging by our own experience, it will pay him well at the close of the season to see each eyening-that his cattle, horses, sheep apd hogs are well bedded, fed and watered. Scarcely less Important is the proper ventilation of the bulld- ings in which his stock are wintered. While the entrance of draughts and cold Ig to be carefully prevented it dhould be borne in mind that domes- ticated animals, Ike man himself, need fresh,’ whoesome air, and, if compelled by ignorance or careless. ness to breathe a foul, tainted atmos. phere, it fs at a serious risk of health and consequent profit.

The average period of usefulness of the horse is curtailed several years by the’ Inade- quacy of the teeth. In most horses at the age of fifteen the teeth have become rough and uneven, and from that time on the horse is a hard keep- er, and the real cause fs not known by the owner. In buying horses the teeth and the feet should reeeive most careful oramination. Ordinarily, in speaking of the feet of the horse, we mean the part inclosed by the hoot wall. ‘Looking at it from a stand- point of comparative anatomy, the foot includes all below the knee and the hock, ‘The artificial conditions under which the horse is placed and the unusual demand exacted of him result in almost every case in dis~ easéd ebnditions, which render him Incapable of doing the work,he would otherwise do. Shoelng, which places ‘him under artificial conditions, com- ‘bined with the hard roads, overwork ‘and improper feeding, soon produco inflammatory conditions which may result in side bones, ring bones, coffin Joint, lameness, cracks ‘in the hoof wall, contracted heels and a great many more diseases too numerous to mention. In many cases the horse must be shod, but there certainly is far too much shoeing done. It 1s sur prising how much work the horse can do Under most conditions without shoes if he be brought gradually te the work, and a little care and judg- ment be exercised in this matter dur- ing the first three or four years of the colt’s life. Thero are three things especially to be remembered if you wish to give this subject a Ilttle extra thought, First, as long as you use horses that have weak or defective feet for breeding purposes just so Jong will you have Horses with a pre- disposition to these things and you will lose money on them accordingly: second,, do less shoeing, a horse with fairly good feet will not need to be shod unless he be worked on the pavement, race track or In mountains ous districts; third, do not allow any horseshoer to use the buttress on the soles of the feet, nér the rasp on the outside; do not leave the shoes on longer than-four weeks without«reset. ting.

PULPIT. A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY cs g GARDINAL GIBBONS. . mneme: Bearing Burdens. = be siciy shes abana ert eget MMB a toni dpi eae Sunday morning. There was a large | congregation and the cholr gave spe- cial music. The subject of the Car- dinal’s discourse was: “Bear Ye One Another's Burdens.” His text was from St. Matthew 11:2-10, The Car- dinal spoke as follows: John the Baptist {s one of the noblest and most striking figures that appear on the pages of the New Testament. As the minister of God he has the courage to rébuke Herod for his incestuous life. The fulfill ‘ment of his sacred duty’ cost him his ‘Uberty and bis head. ‘What a strik- ing contrast between John in prison and Herod on bis throne! Jeup, though immured in a dark dungétn, Is cheerful and resigned, because he has the testimony of a good con- science. Herod on his royal seat {s gloomy and dejected and eaten up with remorse. Thofgh John js in chains, his soul roams with the free- dom of a son of God. Herod, though commanding a kingdom, is a’slave to his passions. , = John utters no word of murmur or complaint from his prison. He does not plead for sympathy or re- Tease. He fs so entirely forgetful of his own sufferings and wrongs that he fs concerned only about lis Master's business. He sends two of his dis- ciples to ask our Saviour whether or not he is the true Messiah. John does not need this Information for his own sake. He knows that Christ is the promised Redeemer, for, om previous occasion, when he met our Lord, he exclaimed: “Behold the Lamb of God; behold Him that taketh away the sin of the world!” But he-destred that his disciples should learn from the lips of Christ Himself that He was the Redeemer who was sent to save the world. ‘When the disciples asked Christ if He was tho true Messiah, what an- swer did He give? Did ‘He say to them: “Know that I am the Son of God, because I revel in the splendor of imperial majesty, I dwell in pala- tial mansions, I am Surrounded by an immense army, I am attended by a retinue of courtiers, and kings and princes minister unto Me?” He sald none of these things. But this 1s the test and the proof that He gave of His divine mission: “Go,” He says, “and relate to John what yo seo and hear. The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deat hear, the dead rise again, tho poor have the gospel preached unto them. And blessed Is he that shall not be scandalized in Me.” Blessed is he who shall recog- nize My divinity through the frail wall of My humanity. ‘Of all the virtues that shine forth tn the life of our divine Saviour there is none so prominent, none so con- spicuous, as His compassion for hu- man suffering. This was His char- acteristic virtue: this was the salient point in His character, if we may apply the térm to One who was per- fect in every virtue. On every leaf of the Gospel that golden word mercy shines forth, brightening every page, cheering every heart. Our Saviour never exercises His divine power as Moses did, by chans- ing rivers {nto blood and destroying the first-born of the land. He never Amitates Joshua by commanding the ‘sun to stand still In the heavens. He does not, like Ellas, call down ilght- ning from heaven to consume aa of fending people, though He was en- treated to do co by His disciples, to whom He said: “Ye know not what spirit ye are; the Son of Man came not to destroy, but to save.” - No, but the miracles of Jesus were wrought to lessen the sufferings end Ughten the burdens of men. He manifested His power by going about doing good. He gave sight to the blind that they might rejoice in be- holding the beauties of ¢reation. He gave speech to the dumb and hearing to the deaf. He gave power of walle ing to the lame. He gave health to the sick aud lite to the dead. He dried up the tears of the widow and gave His blessing to children. Above all, He displayed His merciful power by’ recelving with open arms the re- penting sinner, by relieving her soul of the burden of her sins, and saying to her: “Be of good cheer. Go in peace, Thy sins are forgiven.” How correctly does the parable of the good Samaritan portray the com- passion of Jesus toward those who suffered from bodily diseases; for the good Samaritan {fs none other than Jesus Himself. A traveler, while g0- ing trom Jerusalem to Jericho, falls among thieves. They rob him of his money. They strip him of his gar- ments and leave kim on the roadside covered with wounds. His country- men pass by, but pay no heed to the dleeding man, A Samaritan who is of a different country and religion also comés along, and lifts up the wounded man; he pours medicine into his wounds and binds them; places him on a beast of burden, pro- vides for him in an inn, and sends him back to his family. "Is not this an epitome of the life of Jesus, whose public career was spent in healing families are made glad that a cher- ished member. {s brought back to them!- How many a mother sheds tears of' joy because a “son who was lost {s found, and having been dead, 18 come to lite again!” But nothing is more manifest in the Gospel than the sympathy of Jesus for the poor. He. wished to stamp with condemnation ‘the spirit of the world, which estimates @ man’s dignity by his wealth, and his degra- dation by his poverty. He chose to be born of humble.parentage, in an obscure village, in a wretched stable, Nearly His whole lite was'spent in & town which was looked on with con- tempt. The saying was: “Can any- thing good come out of Nazareth?” He led a life of poverty, not from ne- cesalty, but from choice: | He could say to Himself what cowld hardly be of atramp: “he foxes have holes, the birds of the’ air nests, but the Son of Man hath not whereon to, lay His head.” He chose His twelve apostles from the humblest walks of Mfe; men without wealth or learning or influence or any of the quallficg- tions tegarded as essential for the sucess of gny enterprise. He com- manded them to preach the Gospel especially to the poor. He wrought His greatest miracles in thelr behalf. His choleest promises aro made to them: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.” “The Spirit of the Lord {s upon Me. Wherefore He hath anaint- ed Me to preach, the Gospel tothe poor; He hath sent Me to heal the contrite heart.” I have set before you these fea- tures of'the life of Christ not merely for your admiration, but still more for your edification and example. Ho is the ideal we are to follow. The closer we resemble the divine model, the nearer we shall approach Chris- uian_ perfection. ‘Wo are social beings, we were cre- ated to live in society. No man Is sufficient unto himself. We are all mutually and reciprocally dependent one on another, just as the organ$ of our body are sustained by one an- other. As au injury to one organ involves a shock to the entire human system, ‘so should the community at large feel a practical sympathy for their fellow beings in any grievance by which they may be oppressed. I care not how rich and powerful you are. You might possess tlie Wealth of a multi-millionaire, but what would ft profit you if you had no servant to ministér to you, m0 companion to cherish you, no friend to grasp your hand? You would be poor and miserable and blind and naked. What would it benefit a man to ‘own all the coal coal mines of West Virginia and Pennsylvania, if thero ‘were no hardy sons of toli to work ‘those mines, to extract the coal from ‘the bowels of the earth and transport it to the various centres of pppula- ‘tion? I care not how limited may be your resources, or how circumscribed your influence, you have personal misston from God In the Christian common- wealth, and you can exert some good in your day and generation. Society 1s like the planetary sys- tem, which {s composed of greater and’ lesser bodies, held together by reciprocal forces." The moon is the smallest body of our system; and yet what control she sways in the flow and ebb of the ocean tides} how much we would miss her monthly visits, when she sheds over the earth her pale and silvery Nght; she gen- erous}y shares with us the effulgence she borrows from the great orb of theday. ‘And so, n6 matter, how inslgnifi- can you may be, you can exert some beneficent power over the tide and flow of human passions, and diffuse a calm and blessed ligat on those that fall within your environment. The benevolence of Christ was not exercised id promiscuous almsgiving. His benefactions usually consisted in removing diseases from the bodies of men, or in bringing them such timely relief as would enable them to stand on their feet and resume some honest, avocations of life. Thus we find Him healing the paralyzed man that he might use his arms to support life, cleansing the leper that he-might take his place again tn society, and feeding the multitude to enable them to return to their respective homes. But perhaps you will say: Why should I concern myself about other people’s affairs? I have my own business to attend to. “Am I my brother's keeper?” These were tha words of Cain, the first murderer. What would have become of you and me if Christ the Lord had éaid, “Am I my brother's keeper?” We would be groping to-day In the darkness of idolatry or infidelity. | What would have become of soctety if the apostles had said, “Are we our brother's keeper?” and if they had returned to their homies and closed thelr ministry after the death of their Master? We would be deprived to-day of the price- lees blessings of Christian clvilizae The Great Lesson Fox Learned. “I knew Jesus and He was very precious to my soul, but I found something In me that would not keep patient and kind.

I besought Jesus to do romething for me, and when I gave Him my will, He came into my heart and east out ail that would not be sweet, all that wottld not be king, all that Would not be patient and then He shut the door.—Géorge For.

Subject-of an Interesting Card by Pro. Teste Pe eae Bree, Sa; Sen Seer I have recently returned from a three months’ study of Europeua schools and will give the readers of your .paper occasional descriptions of what I saw that might be sugges- live to us in the south. I will first review o county system garstudied 15 Cheshire, whlch say be taken as tybical of such systems 10 England. ‘The county levies a penny or two cents in the pound of assessable val- ues, raising thereby $75,000 in addl- tion to the government grant and lo- sa] aid in each school area. The gov- ernment pays its money on condition that certain standards are mafntain- ed which are determined by govern- ment inspectors. The government does not propose.that its money shall be wasted or that local effort and re- sponsibility shall be stifled, but alas when the county has done its part anil its inspectors report that the in- stiuction is well done, Here are two lessons that I wish Georgtans could quickly learn. We must insist upon definite local support if the state ‘con- tributes and we must stop the waste of thousands of dollars because we do not follow up the appropriation with expert inspection. Our present plan is contrary to the experience and practice of all progressive na- tions. We should insist upon a coun- ty tax for education fairly proportion- ed to that which the county receives from the state. We might begin by requiring a minimum of one mill, which may be increased by the coun- ty to a maximum of five mills. ‘The county educational committee 4s composed of members of the coun- ty council, of at least two women, one elementary teacher and one sec: ondary teacher, all of whom are elect- ed_by popular ‘vote. ‘The active officers are the director of education and bis assistant dlrec- tor, the county architect, the county accountant, the medical’ officer of health, the principal of the coumty agricultural school, the managers of the dairy institute, lecturer on sick nursing, instructor in physical drills, the traveling teacher of dairying, and the supervisor of sewing, cooking, laundrying. The general government has its inspector of elementary school, of secondary schools, of even- ing schools, with one assistant ror each, This’ one county with {ts two thousand teachers has eight times more expert supervisors than the state of Georgia has for its expendi- ture of two and one-half million dol- Jars. In addition to the county education- al committee each local school bas a school committee composed of members of the county committee, of the local authorities, and of persons {terested in education. In this way the schools are kept before the peo- ple and the best thought of the com- munity is concentrated upon them, While specialists look after the de- talls. ‘Would it not bring our schools clos- er to the people if the boards were elected by the people, and an advis- cre hoard of prominent cltizens inter- ested In education might sit at stated times with the official board? “Are we not wasting money by not requiring more officers to look after different phases of the work and ald teachers in the instruction of the same? + J, 8.

Its promoters plan to Dulld a line from Abbeville to Fort Valley, and thence to Montezuma. The company {8 designated as_the “Abbeville and Northwestern Rail- road: Company.” ‘The line is to, be seventy-five miles in length, _fity- eight miles of main line and eighteen of branch, The latter will comprise the extension from Fort Valley to Montezuma, The eountles of Wilcox, Pulaski, Dooley, Houston and Macon will be’ passed ‘through. The capital stock is to be $100,000. It is probable that there will.be no agricultural college-on-wheels as has been planned by Dr. A. M. Soule, and the professors of the State College of Agriculture ‘for the coming spring. Indications now are that the train will be abandoned for the present year, because of the probable Inabil- ity of the dean and other attaches of the state ‘agricultural college to ac- company it on its rounds. Judge Kimsey made a sensational charge to the grand jury ot Gaines- ville. He said that if reports were correct there ought to be an Investl- gation of the affairs of the county. “I am told,” he safd, “that there is not enough’ money in’ the treasury of the county to pay the expenses of this court, the tax levy last year made a specific levy for court pur- poses, if the monéy "has been divert- éd to use illegally, the matter should be found out and published, if there has been graft in the purchase of ‘the road machinery it ought to be made known, if bridges have been built contrary to the law about ad- yertising for bids, it ought to be un- earthed, If what’ Is rumored ‘In this county is true then the officers should de handled -by prosecution.” He also touched upon what, in bis opinion, constituted disturbing religious wor: ship and spoke of the right of offl- cers to carry concealed weapons. Following closely upon the pledges of President-elect Taft to recognize Georgia as a unit worthy of national consideration in the councils of the republic, the announcement has reached’ Atlanta from Washington that his committee on arrangements for the inaugural procéssion on March 4 has assigned Georgia fourth place ingthat conspicuous line so that she may-baye an opportunity to de- monstrate her interest in the gov- ernment's executive affairs, In addi tion to thig”elgnal honor of Georgia, {tis understood that in Augusta, where Mr. Taft Is making up his cab- inet and other high oficial appoint- ments, the names of two distinguish- ed Georgians are under serious con- sideration, those of Colonel Robert J.

To- day there are hundreds of,men wear- Ing Masonic pins simply to herald to the world the fact, “I was there.” But the real question is, do these badges stand for service in the cause of Ma- sonry? What has the wearer done to advance the cause of the fraternt- ty and to be of servige to his fellow man? A Masonic pin In the coat lapel ought to mean something.

It happened in this way, according to veracious witnesses—not 2 nature fakir among ‘em—who watched from the platform of the Erie Railroad sta tion at Montclair: Nine cock sparrows were feasting on oats dropped from a Jerseyman’s sack, when an old gray rat ran out, growled like a dog in a manger, and got busy on the oats. The sparrows after a brief chatter of war, attacked the rat. Two climbed on his back, while others charged front and flank, The rat squealed as he was bayoneted by sharp bills, and fought back, He had killed two of the sparrows when his cries brought another rat. ‘The two rats and the seven surviv- in gsparrows were haying it hot and heavy, when Ted, the station rooster, came up with a rattle like heavy ar- tillery.

The words came to Gertrude Hay- den one day when she was, apparent- ly, absorbed in an Interesting book. ‘There was, however, nothing in the book to call forth any heroic resolu- tions. “It was oily an iinconscious sigh on her mother's part that arrested. her attention. ; She was sitting on one s{de of the Foom fn an easy chair, her feet resting comfortably on a has- sock. Her mother, on the opposite side, was seated on a low rocker, bending over a pile of mending. Her face was pale and worn, and, as Ger trude glanced at {t in response to the unconsclous sigh, its weariness touch- ed her, Her mother seemed to be as intent over her work as Gertrude had been In her book. . = “Poor mother!” the latter sald to herself, “she looks worn to death. I don't see why I haven't noticed it be- fore. I wonder what thevmatter ts.” She closed ber book and got up. Approaching the bending figure, she sat down on a small chair beside it. Mrs. Hayden, looking up, smiled. “You don't have to mend all those socks, do you, mumsie?” she asked, pointing to a pile on a nearby chair. “Yes,” was the answer, There was a pile of underwear on the table. Gertrude, glancing at it, sald: “You don't have to mend all that underwear, too, do you?” “Certatnly.” “Not today?” questioningly. — ‘ “It wouldn't do to leave today’s work until tomorrow, you know." “Why not?” asked Gertrude. “You look tired out, mumste.” . “I am a little tired,” admitted Mrs. Hayden. “But if I leave today’ss work until tomorrow just because I'm tired, what would be done with tomorrow's work?” % : “Mumsie,” said Gertrude, jumping up hastily, “where can I find one of your big white aprons?” \"In the bottom drawer of my bur reau,” was the answer. Presently Gertrude was back, a big white apron reaching to the hem of her dress tied around her waist. “Now, mumsle,” she sald, smilingly, “what shall I attack first?” “Are you in earnest?” : “Of course, I'm in earnest. I feel as if I'd awakened from a long sleep. And mumsle, I really am awake. Shall I help mend the socks first?” “Yes, if you'd lke to.” “It I'd like to,” Gertrude repeated, laughingly. “I think, probably, I'd like to just as well as you do. I can’t say that I consider mendfng the most delightful work in the world, and I hardly think you do. But I'm going to help you mend from this time- henceforth.” ‘Mrs, Hayden’s face brightened. It seemed good to her to have a helpero and that helper her own daughter. Presently miother and daughter were mending side by side. An hour slipped quickly by. The socks were all darn- ed and they were mending the under wear, Until the present time, Ger- trude never realized how many stitch- es a half dézen boys required, for the larger part of the socks and under- wear belonged to her six brothers, Another hour passed, and the weék’s mending was done. While they were working Gertrude told storles of her college days, gay—many of them—all of more or less interest to her mother. Mrs, Hayden looked at the clock. “Why, it's, only halfpast three!” she exclaimed in glad surprise. See what It Is to have such an industrious helper?” ‘There was an expression In her face when she spoke that went straight to Gertrude’s heart. She reached for her mother’s hand and carried it staight to her lips. ‘That day was to the hitherto over- puredned mother the beginning of easier and happier days. As for Ger- trude, it was the blossoming time of her young life into usefulness. The unconscious sigh of her mother had aroused her. Somehow until then she had accepted her pleasant home, her devoted mother and her apparent free- dom to do just as she liked all day long as her birthright. “two years have, elapsed since, Ger- rude Hayden regolved to “make {t easy for mumsie,” as she called her mother..

Bold Criminals in Oklahoma Defy Authorities to Arrest Themc Pushmata county {s not only one of the largest in the state but {t contains more inaccessible mountain fastness- es and possibly more outlaws hiding in the mountains than any other coun- ty in the state. Within the last six months the depredations of the out- laws have become of a most exasper- ating nature and the officers of that and surrounding counties, seem unable to break up the outlaw haunts. Posse after posse has gone into thé Klamachi, the Winding Stalr and the Jack Fork mountains to try to drive out the horse thieves and robbers known to rendezvous there, but the officers seldom succeed in finding them. In fact the outlaws have be- come so bold and self-confident that they send taunting and defiant let- ters to the officers, and a favorite cus- tom Is to get a posse on the chase and then steal horses and rob stores and fost offices right fn the path of the pursuers. Smithville, in McCurtin county, seems to be close to the outlaw head- quarters, and it Is said the outlaws have even written the officers where thelr headquarters are'in both coun- tfes and dared them to try to come in and make arrests.
