The Savannah Tribune. VOL. XXIV. Of the Suffrage Laws of the Southern States. DEMOCRATS WERE ANNOYED And the Republicans Delighted By the Frank Statements of the South Carolina Senator. Washington. D. C.—During the course of a speech on the Crum nomination in the senate, Senator Tillman of South Carolina delighted, the republicans and outraged his democratic colleagues by his remarks on southern states' suffrage restrictions. Many of the democrats got up and left the chamber. The negrophiles listened with their hands to their ears, eager to catch every word. Senator Tillman insisted that the disfranchisement laws of the south were frauds on their ranks; that their creation was joke; that they were in open and fragrant violation of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments; that they were aimed solely at the negro and disfranchised him because he was a negro. "The fourteenth and fifteenth amendments are not worth the paper they were written on," said Senator Tillman, while every man in the chamber gasped with consternation. Senator Tillman admitted having once in his life voted for a negro. It was before the days of the disfranchisement amendment. He was living in the Anderson district, which was overwhelmingly black republican. He said the democrats had gerrymandered the district so as to get all the negroes in that district. It had wings like a bat and legs like a grasshopper. He ran South Carolina Well. I got tired voting tissue paper ballots and once voted for the negro candidate." He advertised the Japanese situation in California, and took the anti-Japanese side of the controversy, saying it was a plain case of racial antipathy and that he was on the side of the white man. Mr. Tillman was supported by his colleague from South Carolina, Mr. Gary, who spoke for forty minutes discussing the issue in a perfectly legitimate way, as a social problem, rather than a political issue. He said there was no question but that Crum could discharge the duties of the office, but that he should not be forced upon people to whom he was distasteful. While it is becoming apparent that Collector Crum cannot be confirmed at the present session, it is also evident the case is being used as a "buffer" for legislation which the leaders do not intend shall be passed. MONEY ORDERS STOLEN. Relief Agent of Southern Express Gets Five Thousand Dollars. Savannah, Ga.—Secret service men of the Southern Express Company and the Atlantic Coast Line are searching for the former relief agent; Oscar R. Hull of the Savannah division of the railroad, who, it is charged, stole a book of blank Southern Express money orders from the company's office at Winokur, Charlton county, Georgia, cashed them all in Savannah and skipped. The face value of the orders was $5,000. It is well known that twenty-six of them were cashed at an average of $40 each, a total, of something over $2,640. It is charged that Hall played no favorites, "sticking" banks, restaurants and offices indiscriminately. The Commercial Bank, Savannah Bank and Trust Company and others gave him money. That fondness for women's society caused Hull's alleged downfall is asserted by those who believe he was asserted 25 years old, was born at Asworth, Ga, and has lived at Cartersville. If he is caught he will be brought back to Savannah for trial. TO FIGHT WHITE PLAGUE Fund of Twelve Million Dollars Will Be Distributed Among New Yorkers. New York City—Citizens of New York, who are to receive rebates from the Consolidated Gas Company, who must distribute a fund of nearly $120,000,000, which has been held in trust pending litigation over the $00 gas law, are asked to contribute their remittances to charity. An appeal to this effect has been issued by charity organization society committee in the prevention of tuberculosis. After pointing out that the money in question is money that a majority of persons did not expect to receive, and therefore can readily do without, the appeal concludes "With a fund of sufficient size as a foundation yielding a considerable annual revenue, it will be possible in a very few years to completely eradicate this disease. BATTLESHIPS COSTLY. $109,856 Required to Keep One in Repair for Year. Washington, D. C.—Responding to a resolution introduced by Senator Clay, a report was sent to the senate by Secretary of the Navy Newberry, saying that it cost $109,856 to keep a first class battleship in repair and good condition for one year. This figuring does not include extraordinary repairs, incident to taking a ship out of commission, remodeling or reconstructing it. The cost of coal used on battleships for the fiscal year 1908 was $3,161,902, and this amount was increased by transportation and storage charges to $5,544,945. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1909. LATE NEWS NOTES. Generai. J. C. Hill, a farmer, who had been summoned to serve as a juror, dropped dead at Yorkville, S. C., just after he took his seat in the box. In an effort to reach the court house in time and save himself from a fine he ran a long distance and death was due to over-exertion. The Melrose party of seven persons, which left Rhyllote, Nevada, recently and became lost in the Death Valley region, has been rescued by searchers, who found the lost prospectors huddled together in a cave in the Panamint mountains, where they had taken shelter. The Norfolk and Portsmouth frustration company's steamer running between Willoughby Spit and Old Point Comfort, was burned to the water's edge at Norfolk, Va. Three of her crew were burned to death in their bunks. The pier also was destroyed. The cause of the fire is unknown. Punished with two life sentences is the predicament of Noah Adams, a negro of Columbus, Ga. In police circles it is hinted facetiously that the double sentence was given Noah on account of his first name. He pleaded guilty to two serious charges and was sentenced on each. A serious earthquake lasting thirty-five seconds was felt in the neighborhood of the volcano Collma in Mexico. The eruption of the volcano continues with unabated granduer. The activity of the volcano has in no way frightened the inhabitants of the neighboring valleys despite the frequent earthquakes and subterranean noises which accompany the eruptions. Carrie Nation was fined $7.50 in the police court of Loudon recently for thrusting her umbrella, through a window of a car on the underground railway, upon which a cigarette advertisement was pasted. When the magistrate announced the amount of the fine Mrs. Nation said: "Thank you; I expected it would cost me more." The National Highways association was organized at St. Augustine, Fla., with John A. Stewart of New York city, president; Albert Lewis, Bear Creek, Pa., first vice president; E. L. Leighton, of Cleveland, Ohio, third vice president. From this foundation, a national association will be built up "consisting of prominent members from all sections and a national convention will be held next January when action will be taken looking for congressional support. The American Clay Producing association was formed at Augusta, Ga., by the leading clay miners of the south. The association has started with about fifty members and a committee has been appointed to solicit membership from all of the clay and kaolin producers in the United States. The association will look after railroad rates on domestic clays, it being claimed at the meeting that a rate of 21 cents is charged on local clays and foreign clays are shipped in this country at 7 cents. Mr. P. W. Martin of Macon, Ga., was elected president, and Mr. Cecil Moran, secretary. The main object of the association will be to regulate railroad rates and to promote the use of American clays. Washington. Senator Bacon of Georgia has been chosen to ride with the vice president in the carriage which will bear him to the capitol on March 4.

Potts, on duty at the Washington navy yard, has been selected to command the battleship Georgia, taking the command formerly held by Captain Edward F. Qualtrough, who was suspended from duty following the trial by court martial at Gibralta. Captain Potts' last sea duty was in command of the cruiser Des Moines. Representative Gaines of Tennessee is anxious by an act of congress to aid fraternal societies to keep from the publize their secret rituals and rules, and he has introduced a bill which would make it a misdemeanor for any person to send through the malls any secret ritual, rules or regulation or work of any kind of any fraternal organization. The punishment provided for a violation of the proposed law is a fine of not less than $1,000 and imprisonment for not less than one year. In the inaugural parade the marine corps is to be represented by a regiment of eight hundred and fifty-marines under command of Lieutenant Colonel James F. Mahoney. In forming this regiment one company will come from New York navy yard; two from the Philadelphia navy yard, two from Annapolis, three from the Norfolk navy yard, one from the Washington navy yard and three from the marine barracks in Washington. In the house of representatives the conference report of the urgent deficiency appropriation bill was agreed to without debate. The bill now goes to the president. The report nenuis disposed of the item of $12,000 for automobiles for the white house by authorizing the necessary appropriation. $400,000,000 NEEDED FOR CANAL Sensation Sprung in the Report of the Senate Isthmian Canal Committee—May Change From Lock to Sea Level Plan. COUNTRY LIFE REPORT IS MADE President Endorses the Report and Asks for $25,000 to Enable Commission to Digest Recently Acquired Material. Washington, D. C.—A large sized sensation was sprung in the report of Senator Kittredge, chairman of the eithmian canal committee, who declared that an amazingly costly blunder was made in adopting the lock and dam instead of the sea level type of canal at Panama. He declared the final cost would be three times the original estimate of the engineers. He showed that already $170,000,000 had been appropriated for the work, and that if current reports be true, congress will be asked to continue to pour enough money to make $400,000,000 into the canal project. The estimated cost, as amended to date, reaches the jatter figure, which is one-fourth larger than the original estimated cost of a sea level canal. The debate was an indirect assault upon President Roosevelt, who was responsible for the adoption of the lock type of canal. The majority of the international board of consulting engineers favored a sea level canal. The American engineers submitted a minority report advocating a lock canal. The president threw his influence and the passage of legislation, authorizing a lock canal at Panama. These engineers staked their professional reputation on the statement that the cost would not exceed $140,000,000. Washington, D. C. — Emphasizing that not a dollar of the public money had been paid to any one of the members for his work, President Roosevelt submitted to congress the report of the commission on country life. Mr. Roosevelt declares that "our civilization rests at bottom on the wholesomeness, the attractiveness and the completeness, as well as the prosperity of life, in the country. Defining the object of the commission as being "not to help the farmer raise better crops, but to call his attention to the opportunities for better business and better living on the farm," the president outlined the agencies instrumental in that direction: Stressing the value of organization, Mr. Roosevelt refers to the desirability of "improving rural environment" so as to so equalize city and country as to make the latter a more attractive place to live in. The president recommends that $425,000 be appropriated to enable the commission to digest its recently acquired material. The report of the commission describes with some fulness the existing conditions of farm life and points out the causes that may have led to its present lack of organization. It suggests methods for the redirection of rural society, for arresting the drift to the city, for maintaining the natural rights of the farmer and for the development of an organized rural life that will promote the prosperity of the whole nation. Broadly speaking, agriculture in the United States is prosperous, and the conditions in many of the great farming regions are improving. Country homes generally are improving in comfort, attractiveness and healthfulness. Masy institutions, organizations and movements are actively contributing to the increasing welfare of the open country. There has never been a time when the American farmer was as well off as he is today, when not only his earning power, but the comforts and advantages he may secure are considered. There has been a complete and fundamental change in our whole economic system within the past century. Yet it is true, notwithstanding all this progress, as measured by historical standards, that agriculture is not commercial as profitable as it is entitled to be for the labor and exergy that the farmer expends and the risks that he assumes, and that the social conditions in the open country are far short of their possibilities. Rural society is lacking chiefly in an knowledge on the part of the farmers of the exact agricultural conditions and possibilities of their regions, resulting in the widespread depletion of soils with the injurious effect on rural life; in proper training for country life in the schools; in good highway facilities, and in organization for buying and selling. There is an absence of any adequate system of agricultural credit, BIG REFUNDING MORTGAGE Chicago, Ill.—A refunding mortgage on all the property of the Illinois Central railroad was filed for record. The amount of the bonds to be issued is limited to $110,000, except under the contingency of the company's acquiring and subjecting to the lien of the mortgage the Indianapolis Southern Railroad, when the issue may be increased by $10,000,000. The loan is to refund indebtedness, pay for construction and maintenance and improvement. The interest is not to exceed 4 per cent, and the time of expiration is Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-Five. Senator Clay, in discussing the report of the canal committee, heartily concurred in all Senator Kittedge had said. He related the history of canal legislation, and recalled the activity of William Nelson Cromwell. "I believe the canal will cost a hailbillion of dollars before it is completed, and that it will be completed, if at all, as a sea level canal," said the Georgia senator. This is in a way a vindication of the position of the late Senator John Tyler Morgan of Alabama, who urged the Nicaraguan route and pleaded for it for sixteen years." The present status of affairs is an entire vindication of the position of the democrats, who voted for the尼哥拉姆 route, for minutes by numbers, and then directed their efforts to secure a sea level canal at Panama. Every democrat so voted except Senator Jones of Arkansas. The president summoned several republicans who opposed his plans to a white house conference and secured their support. The discussion grew out of a report by Mr. Kittredge on the bill increasing the limit of cost for the canal to $500,000,000 and authorizing the secretary of the treasury to issue bonds to that amount. He said that this committee had decided that the measure should be considered by the finance committee, and he reported it back with that recommendation. a shortage of labor, often complicated by intemperance among workmen; a lack of institutions and incentives that tie the laboring man to the soil; the life of the farm woman, is burdensome and narrow; there is need of adequate supervision of public health. The farmer is handicapped by the speculative holding of lands, monopolistic control of streams and forests, waste of our natural resources and by restraint of trade. Some of the remedies for the condition of farmers with the national government, some of them with the states and communities in their corporate capacities, some with voluntary organizations and some with individuals acting alone. All organized forces both in town and country should understand that there are country phases as well as city phases of our civilization, and that one phase needs help as much as the other. All these agencies should realize their responsibility to society. Many existing organizations and institutions might become practically co-operative or mutual in spirit; as for example: all agricultural societies, libraries, Young Men's Christian Associations and churches. There are several great forces, or principles, which must be utilized in the endeavor to solve the country life question. There must be a vast enlargement of voluntary organized effort among farmers themselves. It is indispassable that farmers shall work together for their common interests and for the national welfare. If they do not do this, no governmental activity, no legislation, not even better schools, will greatly avail. The forces and institutions that make for morality and spiritual ideals among rural people must be energized. There must be not only a fuller scheme of public education, but a new kind of education adapted to the real needs of the farming people. The country schools are to be so redirected that they shall educate their pupils in terms of the daily life. Opportunities for training toward the agricultural callings are to be multiplied and made broadly effective. This means redoubled efforts for better country schools, and a vastly increased interest in the welfare of the country boys and girls on the part of those who pay the school taxes. Education by means of agriculture is to be a part of regular public schools. Special agricultural schools are to be organized. The country people everywhere are asking for good roads. Everywhere, too, they want a parcels post and the extension of the rural free delivery. It will be well for us as a people, if we recognize the opportunity for usefulness in the open country and consider that there is a call for service. The suggestion of the commission only outline a general plan whereby the strong resident forces in the open country may themselves build up a new and better rural social structure. To accomplish this, the entire people must be aroused. The time for this is at hand. Gold Watch For Blins London, England." "Jack" Bluns, the wireless telegraph operator who was on board the steamer Republic at the time of her collision with the Florida, landed at Liverpool from New York. The Marconi Company will present him with a gold watch and chain. Taft Party Leaves Panama. Panama. — Just before President-elect Taft and his party sailed for New Orleans announcement was made of the intention to widen four and a half miles of the Culebra cut from 200 to 300 feet. This will mean an extra cost of $14,000,000. KONSTER SLAYS WOMEN. Pervert is Spreading Terror at Dayton Ohio- its Work of One Man. Cleveland, Ohio—That the murders of six women in Dayton were committed by a single individual is the theory of Dr. Charles H. Clark, the former clinical director of the government hospital for the insane at Washington, and now superintendent of the Cleveland State Hospital "Circumstances identical in each case point to a single murderer," said Dr. Clark. "The facts in the Dayton series have been published broadcast. Yet no similar crimes have occurred elsewhere. This is an argument for a single murderer. "This monster is selective. His victims have been nearly of an age. Their circumstances in life have been similar. All were girls attractive in face and form" "The best evidence that all six of the murders were committed by a single individual is the fact that in each case the victim was strangled. This—the use of one method in several cases—is typical of the pervert. The Dayton monster has a prototype in Jack the Ripper. "Once the pervert has taken life in a certain manner, thereafter he cannot be satisfied except in that identical way. Perversion usually lasts through life. As long as the pervert is free he is bound to commit more crime. In my opinion this pervert is not only sane, but responsible. When convicted of crime he should be punished as any other criminal." Dayton, Ohio—With the conclusion of microscopic examination of the stomach in search of possible traces of poison, the final autopsy on the body of Elizabeth Fulhart of Vandalia, Oilio, Dayton's latest murder victim, failed to reveal the immediate cause of the girl's death. The only tangible theory left, the police say, is that the girl may have been drugged, which accidentally proved fatal, and the body thrown into the abandoned cistern to cover up the traces of the crime. ADVICE FOR CALIFORNIA. Prident Again Chides Those Who Differ from Him About Japanese. Washington, D. C.—"The policy of the administration is to combine the maximum of efficiency in achieving the real object which the people of the Pacific slope have at heart, with the minimum of friction and trouble, while the misguided men who advocate such action as this against which I protest are following a policy which combines the very minimum of efficiency with the maximum of insult and which, while totally failing to achieve any real result for good, yet might accomplish an infinity of harm. "This language President Roosevelt, in a long telegram to Speaker P. A. Stanton of the California assembly, set forth the government's view of the anti-Japanese school legislation now before that body. The president stated that the bill gives just and grave cause for irritation, and that the government would be obliged immediately to take action in the federal courts to test such legislation, because it is held to be clearly a violation of the United States Constitution. The telegram to Speaker Stanton was sent only after a conference with Senator Flint and Representative Kahn of California and F. K. Lane of the interstate commerce commission. 19 YEAR OLD SPENDTHIFT. Frank Hiller Winds Up With Only 10 Cents Left of Fortune New York City—Although he had only ten pencils in cash in his pockets, a boy of 19 years, who said that he was Frank K. Hiller of Little Rock, Ark, said that he had spent $13,000 within three months. This information he confided to detectives, after he had been arrested on the complaint of the manager of a local hotel, who charges that young Hiller passed a worthless check at the hotel. The boy had recently been staying at the Hotel Astor, and had cashed several checks there, which, he admits, are worthless, according to the police. A bank book, showing an account of $600, was found upon him. It was issued by the National Bank of Commerce at Dallas, Texas. Hiller said that he inherited considerable money from his father, and has been "blowing it in." IN FULL EVENING DRESS New Orleans Woman Commits Suicide by Inhaling Gas. New Orleans, La.—"We are such things as dreams are made of, and our little life is rounded with a sleep. Kindly bury me as soon as possible. I am so tired of it all." These were the words penned by M. Gregory, 28 years old, before inhaling illuminating gas. She was lying in full evening dress at her home, and her fingers were adorned with many costly rings. TEMPERANCE CONFERENCE World Affair Provided for in Bill in the House. Washington, D. C.—A world temperance conference to be held within a year, and possibly in Washington, is provided for in a bill introduced by Representative Sheppard of Texas. The measure directs the president to invite the various nations to send twelve delegates to the conference, the purpose of which would be to devise methods by which these nations could co-operate with a view to lessening of and regulating the international traffic in intoxicating liquors, narcotics and harmful drugs. The president is empowered to name 100 delegates Yellow Boys and Girls Will Attend the Same Schools as the White Boys and Girls. Washington, D. C.—The following telegrams were given out at the white house without comment: "Sacramento, Cal.—The President, Washington: School segregation bill killed in the assembly by a vote of 41 to 37. "J. N. GILLETT." "The White House, Washington—To Governor J. N. Gillett, Sacramento, Cal.; Accept my heartiest congratulations. All good Americans appreciate what you have done. Pray extend my congratulations individually to all who have aided you. I feel that the way in which California has done what was right for the nation makes it more than ever obligatory on the nation in every way to safeguard the interests of California has done what was right for the end this day, whether in public or private life, shall most certainly be done. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." Sacramento, Cal.-Yielding to the pressure brought to bear by President Roosevelt and Governor J. N. Gillett, the California assembly reversed its previous position by reconsidering the former vote on the segregation of Japanese students in the public schools, finally rejecting the measure by a vote of 41 to 37. An effort by the supporter of the bill to further consider was lost by a vote of 38 to 38, and the assembly is now clear of any Japanese measure objected to by the national administration. Governor Gillett said that the next matter to be taken up by the assembly would be opposed appropriation of $10,000 for the compiling of a measure of Japanese in California. He said that if from the data so gathered, it were found necessary, congress would be urged to enact an Atastic exclusion measure. "Under the measure between Japan and our government," said Governor Gillett, "the former is pledged to restrict immigration, as much as possible. Washington, D. C.—The president, in talks with visitors, expressed the belief that the danger of rupture with Japan was practically over. John Temple Graves was among those to whom the president talked on the subject. The Graves would not repeat any of the president's words, but declared that the president had averted grave dangers to the Pacific coast and the country. CHILDREN'S GOOD FRIEND. Working in Their Interest in Washington. Washington, D. C. "It is as important to stop the needless manufacture of orphans as it is to take care of orphans." This, in a nuttssell, is the view of Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the Denver juvenile court, who is probably the most famed friends of the children in the world. He had just come from a conference with President Roosevelt over the advisability of creating a children's bureau in the department of the interior, and was running over his plans for the new child-realizing enterprise. "How is it possible to prevent children from becoming orphans?" Judge Lindsey was asked. "By preventing the needless accidental killings in mines and on railroads," he replied quickly. "The state is responsible in a measure for the care of dependent children. The state ought also to feel its responsibility in a larger measure for the prevention of needless killings and malmings in our industrial activities. "For instance, take the fatalities that occur in coal mines in the United States each year. At a conservative estimate, there are 2,000 new orphans annually as a result of the killing of the fathers in coal mines. It is estimated that the period of dependency of these children is sixteen years. In a single generation there are, at a conservative estimate, 40,000 children thrown upon the care of the state or private charities just as a result of the coal mining accidents. Think of it. And this only in a single industry. "A third of such accidents could be prevented. This is no guess. It is demonstration. Proper Inspection and regulation, as conducted in Germany and Belgium, has resulted in decreasing fatalities. This is the proportion is larger. But suppose it is a third; that is large enough. War Portfolio For Dickinson. Washington, D. C.—It is announced here on what appears excellent authority that Jacob McGavock Dickinson, a Tennessee democrat, will be offered the post of secretary of war Dickinson is the eminent lawyer.

C.-Senator Hale, chairman of the committee on naval affairs, reported to the senate the bill making appropriations for the support of the navy. It carries $136,825,199 an increase of $1,058,423 over the amount carried by the bill as it was passed by the house. L. H. Williams. P. Edward Perry. Walter S. Scott. Bol. C. Johnson. W. B. Fields.

Jubal sang of the wrath of God And the curse of thistle and thorn— But Tubal got him a pointed rod And the arm of a car or corn. Old—old as that earthly hold, Young as the sprouting grain— Yearly green is the strife between Jubal and Tubal Cain. Jubal sang of the new-found sea, And the souls its waves divide— But Tubal hollowed a fallen tree And passed it to the farther side, Silver as the hurricane wrack, Salt as the under-main— Bitter and cold is that hate they hold— Jubal and Tubal Cain! STEALING A GRANDMOTHER By HUGH PENDEXTER. When I got home that night my wife met me at the door with a bright face and told me that she had received a letter from her grandfather stating that her grandmother would leave on the morrow to visit us, and would I mind meeting her at Isworth. I had never met the relative in question, but from my wife's ample discourse I had conceived her to be a little, gracious, old lady, whom any man would be pleased to love—as a grandmother. At this period of my married life I had been thoroughly subjugated by my other half, and at once acquiesced in the velled mandate by expressing great pleasure in leaving my work for a day to meet the grandmother. The city editor may not like my asking for a day off, you know. I remarked, even while giving in. "Oh, but any." "Killed drowned cars this night. Oh, my" part think of the world the blood tools, too. "Well, a good, lo you again. I had detied as if cation of 'You n When I p grandfather 'fore sprint." ! "Indeed," she sniffed, "is that material?" "Not a bit," I hastened to answer. "He is a very immaterial person." "Then, dear, you go. I have in my letters described you so explicitly that she will be sure to know you. Any way, you will recognize her, for she is the dearest, sweetest woman—" "Old woman," I corrected. "Elderly woman in the world." "How does she look?" I asked, wishing to get a few pointers. "Oh, lovely! When you see a little mite of a thing with the dearest gray hair and the brightest eyes in the world; a woman that—an elderly woman—you can feel like giving a good hug, you'll know that's grandma." "She's sure to come?" "Why, yes, quite sure. If for any reason she cannot, grandpa will telegraph." In the morning I went down and made my peace with the city editor. When I left him he looked extremely doubtful, and he has told me since that from my conversation he had absorbed the impression that some relative of mine had passed away and that I was going to bring the body home. Isworth was a junction and nothing else. A solitary grocery store and postoffice combined stood a little way from the station, while far and near a dense growth of alders completed the air of desolation. The down train from Waterville had already pulled in, and on leaving the car I had only to enter the low waiting room to find the object of my journey. As I opened the door a tall, gaunt woman, dressed in funereal black, arose and accosted me in a deep, husky voice. "Yes," I answered dreamily. "I am James, and is this—this—grandma?" "Young man, it is." I approached timidly for my welcoming kiss, for my wife had cautioned me in regard to this very minutely. Grasping my intentions and deciding that they were honorable, she raised a heavy black veil and gave me a sort of perfunctory sort of a smack. She was fully as tall as I, and would weigh, I concluded, just one hundred and ninety-eight. And this stern visaged woman was the one destined to inculcate in my being an irrepresible desire to fold her to my bosom and lavish upon her lips grandital kisses! She eyed me sadly for a minute and then remarked: "I had hoped Eliza's gal had got a better favored man." My countenance must have expressed sorrow, for she said: "But you hain't to blame for your looks. I only hope that you are befter to her than Henery was." I dropped the black monster supposed to contain her personal effects and-gasped weakly: "Henry!" "Yes, Henry. Her first, you know." How we got aboard the home train train I never knew. My wife's first! We had only been married a year, and coming from a distant State I had seen my wife only six months prior to our marriage. It was impossible that she could have been married before meeting me; I had to conclude that I was bringing home a crazy grandmother. "Henery was a varmint," he remarked, after we had arranged divers parcels, among which I remember was a bird cage. "He was a shiftless provider," she continued. "I'll bet he was," I said altogether dazed. "When did he die?" "No slch luck. He ain't dead. He's still kitin' round-th' country semers." A queer kind of a feeling took me by the throat. I knew that she was crazy, but still my throat felt horribly. "I brought along some catnip for the cats," she said at last, polling to a paper bag. "Is this James?" "Young man, it is." Jubal sang of the golden years When wars and wounds shall cease— Bring the tears of war and tears And showed his neighbors peace. New—new as the Nine Point Two, Older than Lamech's slain— Roaring and loud is the feud avowed Twix Jubal and Tubal Cain. Jubal sang of the cliffs that bar And the peaks that none may crown— Bring the tears of scar And there he built a town, High—high as the Passes lie, Low as the culverts drain— Wherever they be they can never agree Jubal and Tubal. —Rudvard Kipilng. "Oh, but you know that we haven't any." "Killed 'em, eh? Jest as well. I drowned three 'fore I ketched the cairs this mornin'." Oh, my wife! Even if the "Henery" part were a hallucination, to think of the dearest little old lady in the world coming in to see you with the blood of three cats upon her hands, too! "Well, grandma, you must make us a good, long visit. Grandpa can't see you again until he comes after you." I had determined to be just as cordial as if she had been the personification of dauntless. "You needn't worry on that score. When I packed my traps I told your grandfather that mahe'd he see me 'fore spring, but most likely he would not." It was now September. I looked out of the window at the peaceful scene and wished it would rain and be sleety. It seemed as if Nature had no business to be so gay. I recalled the first two stanzas of the "Rainy Day." "Is grandpa well?" THE common wealth of human stars, in the fields and the reaching summits and the everywhere, there can be no tears and mine and all men's. The sources of inspiration. The blessing all can see it. The singing of the time was—in some parts of it when thought and thought pro-masses; but in this blessed course like a full-blown, rose-flesh discipline, the books which sum up of the past—who so poor but the awaits him, and the public library trance.

Hinckley. THE common wealth of humanity—it is in the sky and stars, in the fields and the brooks, in the heaven-reaching summits and the boundless sea. Beauty everywhere, there can be no trust in beauty. Beauty is yours and mine and all men's. There can be no corner in the sources of inspiration. The blossoming of the apple trees—all can see it. The singing of the birds—all can hear it. The time was—In some parts of the world the time still is—when thought and thought products were denied to the masses; but in this blessed country of ours thought may come like a full-blown rose-flushing every brow. Mental discipline, the books which sum up and record the thought of the past—who so poor but the opportunity of schooling awaits him, and the public library opens its doors-for his entrance. The world of thought—what so precious! and it belongs to the common wealth of humanity. Still more is love—something as universal as human nature itself. One sees it everywhere and feels it everywhere, the much reined and well walked walks of personal ease and comfort. Only there poverty-shares its troubles and sorrows and struggles along over its oftimes stony way. Love, sweet, pure, sincere love—it is the greatest thing in the world, ready in some form for the soul that can climb to it and make it its own. All these things are the supreme and inestimable wealth in the brotherhood of souls. Not but that money is necessary, and houses and lands and clothing and food material pleasure, and recreation are necessary. No one should despise these; but the supreme bond in the brotherhood of souls is the appreciation and love of the higher, more inspiring, more beautiful things:—Rev. Frederic A. Hinckley. She hitched herself into a more confidential position and said impressively: "Your grandfather would be tolerably well if he'd let old cider alone. But when a man betwixt and between drinks 'bout two gallons of old cider every day it tends to make him feel outer sorts. I think that's what attracted Henery to your wife. He thought he could live on Durgin Hill, keep filled with old cider, and have a good time generally. He was workin' there in hayin' when he fust met Eliza's gal. She was up for the summer. But when he an' your grandfather went off fishin' and fell into the crick, I put my foot down and he gut. Your wife never said nothin' bout him, I take it?" and that you were to stay over an wait for her. But I'll put on my things and come home." Once we were inside the carriage asked: "How much longer is this farce continue? Do you think I am of the same callbre as 'Henery?'" She began to cry softly. "Perhaps you imagine that the cult influence of Durgin Hill has captivated me," I suggested. She w now weeping violently. "Or possibly the fact that grandra has killed three cats this mornin' ought to squech me." "Oh, James, you have told me many times that you never would I believed you." "Never would what?" "Nat'rel, 'nough, too. Let bygones be bygones, sez I. We've gut to make th' best of the futer. Do you drink?" "Never!" "What church do you attend?" "I—I go to the Universalist." "The idea! An' our hull family have ben Baptists for ten gen'rations. Why, your grandfather, when, he's filled to the nozzle with elder, will cuss a Universalist on sight. That's his one good point; he don't go back on his religion. An' I tell you, young man, that in the futer you an' Eliza's gal will 'tend out on the Baptists' meetin's." "I shuddered, as I thought of oher declaration to grandpa, 'Mebbe you'll see me 'fore spring, an' mebbe you won't." "What do you do with your evenings?" she asked, adjusting her spectacles. "Oh, I always stay at home evenings," I replied, glad of a chance to appear in a favorable light. "We have a quiet game of euchre, or invite in some of the neighbors and play whist, you know." "Them's games you play with keerds, eh?" she asked gloomily. I saw my finish as I weakly answered "yes." "Oh, the sorrer of it! Ellie's gal playin' at keerds! Never in Henery's day did she do that! But jest walt! We'll see if a little moral influence can stop sich didoes jest as soon as I get settled," and the light of conquest flashed from her cold, gray eyes. With a sigh of relief I helped her. True Brotherhood. into a cab when we reached the station, and told the driver my number. To my surprise no bright-eyed wife bounded down the steps to meet us; instead, the house was gloomy and dark. And what's more, when I mounted the stars I found the door locked. I could appreciate the spirit that prompted my wife to keep the grandmother out, but I thought it was rather hard on the husband. However, I used my latchkey and ushered grandma in. I was pleased to note that the lighting of the gas impressed my relative quite a deal. "Hain't there no danger of that hustin't? Hain't kérisine ile safer?" I quieted her a bit, and then snapped a few parlor matches to complete the effect. Then I set out to find my wife. She was not in the house. I returned to the sitting room and found grandma hanging the bird cage to a hook, while the inmate croaked feebly. "Where's Eliza's gal?" "She must have stepped out to the neighbor's," I explained, "but make yourself at home and I will look her up." My head was in a whirl. My wife's desertion, the question of "Henry the fust," were problems I could not solve. There was no doubt in my mind but that my wife was the sweetest little woman in the world, but I wished she had been at home. Of course my grandma was crazy, and yet I felt badly to think of "Henry's kittin' round over the country." He ought, even in hallucinations, to be dead. On inquiring, Mrs. Engels informed me that my wife had gone to spend the night with our old friends, the Atelys. This was a little too much. Did she face to face me, now that I had learned the truth? A hansom quickly took me to the Atelys, and I brusquely asked for my wife. "Why, James, dear, back? Didn't you get my telegram at Isworth?" "I did not," I replied, not noticing her advances to give me a caress. "Why, I wired that grandma was not coming until to-morrow morning, humanity—it is in the sky and the brooks, in the heaven, the boundless sea. Beauty to trust in beauty.

No but the supreme bond in the appreciation and love of the beautiful things:—Rev. Fred- "and that you were to stay over 'and wait for her. But I'll put on my things and come home." Once we were inside the carriage I asked: "How much longer is this farce to continue? Do you think I am of the same calibre as 'Henery'?" She began to cry softly. "Perhaps you imagine that the occult influence of Durgin Hill has captivated me," I suggested. She was now weeping violently. "Or possibly the fact that grandma has killed three cats this morning ought to squelch me." "Oh, James, you have told me so many times that you never would and I believed you." "Never would what?" "Drink." Visions of grandpa's elder were evidently before her. Perhaps she thought that the most lovable lady in the world had brought me down a ingful. "And you met him in haying time," I remarked. "Oh, dear, oh, dear! I only wish mother or grandmother was here." mother or grandmother was here." "Grandma is here," I replied bitterly. "So is the catnip and the little bird and the seed onlons and God knows what else." "Stop! I will no longer ride in the same carriage with you! What a beast rum can make of a man! Terrible! terrible! But we had reached our house now, and she ran ahead of me up the steps. "Why! this hint! Elliza's gal!" I heard our guest cry out. "And this surely is not grandma!" my wifo exclaimed. "Well, who in the name of the Evil One is it?" I muttered to myself. "My name's James Whitten, an I guess my wife's grandmother's here, eh? They told me at the station that she was brought here. I had calker-lated on meetin' her at Isworth, but missed my train," and he laughed at the excellence of the joke. And I laughed. Never has anything since struck me so deliciously good. The real grandma was all that my wife had pictured, and my wife, went in person to meet her. She can no longer trust me. My first name is James, and my mother-in-law hap- pens to be named Ellina; but none of us ever lived on Durgin Hill, and my wife now feels assured that I never drink. "Henery, the fust," is. I suppose, still "kitten" round the country," but we have never met him, and yet my grandma, dear old lady, often removes her spectacles and wipes away the tears as we talk over my wife's first marriage—Portland Transcript. THE HIGH TIDE OF IMMIGRATION The problem of the outpouring from Europe into the United States, and its threat to what is best in our national institutions, could not perhaps be more forcibly brought home to us than by the facts presented in Mr. W. Z. Ripley's article, "Races in the United States:" in the Atlantic. Wave has followed wave, says Professorf Ripley, each higher than the last—the ebb and flow being dependent upon economic conditions in large measure. It is the last great wave, ebbing since last fall, which has most alarmed us in America. This gathered force on the revival of prosperity about 1897, but it did not assume full measure until 1900. Since that year over 6,000,000 people have landed on our shore, one-quarter of all the total immigration since the beginning. The new-comers of these eight years alone would repopulate all the five older New England States as they stand to-day; or, if properly disseminated over the newer parts of the country, they would serve to populate no less than nineteen States of the Union as they formed. The new-comers of the last eight years could, if suitably seated in the land, elect thirty-eight out of the present ninety-two Senators of the United States. Is it any wonder that thoughtful political students stand somewhat agast? In the last of these eight years—1907—there were one million, and a quarter arrivals. This number would entirely populate both New Hampshire and Maine, two of our oldest States, with an aggregate territory approximately equal to Ireland and Wales. The arrivals of this one year would found a State with more inhabitants than any one of twenty-one of our other existing Commonwealths which could be named. Industry is the magnet, that gets things coming our way. Many a fellow has discovered that it is easier to make love than to make good. Many a woman talks like sixty who isn't. Scientists say that kissing must go, but in spite of that it doesn't go with some girls. He laughs at scars who has never been at war with himself. The average man has his price, and, of course, the foreign nobleman is but an average man. There are altogether too many ways of making people unhappy. Some people are unhappy because they have never been in love, and others because they have. It's all right to follow the crowd, provided you are not ambitious to get to the front. It's when a fellow thinks he is out of sight that he feels all eyes are upon him. Woman may be the weaker vessel, but it is generally the man who goes broke. It isn't enough to pay as you go. You ought to save enough to pay your way back. The officeholder feels that one good term deserves another. If the eyes are the windows of the soul, every man must look out for himself. Happy is the man who is pleased with everything, including himself. Rather than sew up a glove on Sunday - some women - would remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. The fellow who tells a girl he could listen to her voice for the rest of his life should be careful or he may have to. If we could see ourselves as others see us, it would just about put the looking glass people out of business. From the "Greenwood Lake Philosopher," in the New York Times. - Horned Toads Slow. Horned toads are slow of foot, and the spiny, horns which cover them seem to be their only defense. Professor Cope gives an example of a dead rattlesnake found with the horns of one of these lizards which it had swallowed penetrating through the upper skin, one on each side of the spine. John K. Strecker, Jr., records another case where the capture of a horned lizard was fatal to the animal that had eaten it. He says: "Some years ago a friend brought me a dead hawk (Buteo lineatus alien) that he had found lying out on the prairie west of the city (Waco). It was greatly emaculated and there was considerable dry blood on the feathers of the throat and breast. On skinning it it found no shot wounds, but when I made a careful examination of the carcass I found that it had swallowed two horned lizards, and that one of the occipital horns of one of these had penetrated the bird's trachea."—Forest and Stream. 明月松间照清泉石上流 New York City.—The plain, man- ish shirt waist is one of the latest and smartest of the season and promi- sions to be even more popular in the 100 near future. This one can be made with or without the yoke THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY at the back and allows a choice of regulation sleeves with over-laps or of those that are made with short openings only, the edges of which are hemmed. In the illustration striped midrats is the material shown, but linen, flannel, silk and the inexpensive printed wash fabrics, indeed, all the waisting materials are appropriate. The waist is made with the fronts and back, and when the yoke is used it is applied-over the back. There is a pocket on the left front and the edge of the right is finished with a wide box pleat. The sleeves are perfectly plain, in shirt style, without gathers at the shoulders, and are finished with straight cuffs. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three and five-eighth yards twenty-one or twenty-four, three yards thirty-two, two and one-eighth yards forty-four inches wide. Few Empire Gowns. There are very few, really Empire gowns seen. The most of them are only Empire in effect, the front and sides being close and only the centre of the back having the fulness arranged high above the waistline. The Bow Under the Chin. At small evening affairs where slightly low gowns are worn there has come about a pretty fashion of wearing a band of colored velvet ribbon around the neck. Pink a Leading Color. Instead of the touch of black or light blue which we have had with us for so long there is now a touch of pink. The new shade is hard to describe. It is just off the coral. The New Scarfs. Some of the newest scarfs are made of satin or chiffon in black, instead of the softer shades. They are finished at either end with 'elaborate fringe. The naval, or sailor, waist is always a favorite one for young girls, and is admirable for school and college wear. It is just the right thing in which to take exercise, and it is altogether satisfactory and becoming. This one is made after the latest style and can be finished with just the neck opening or with a longer one at the front, and laced together as may be preferred. In the illustration, it is made of blue flannel, and is banded with braid, while over the left front is a strip of red flannel and red flannel also makes the chevrons, but such details can be arranged to suit individual taste, although the girls like to copy the sailor boys as closely as possible. Flannel, light-weight serge, cashmere and all materials of the sort are appropriate, and the waist can be used with the skirt to match or separately as liked. The waist is made with front and back. The one-piece sleeves are tucked at their lower edges and finished with straight cuffs and are sowed to the armholes before the under-arms seams are closed. The facing over the blouse can be used or omitted as liked. The sailor collar finishes the neck and the separate shield is buttoned into place beneath it. Ruffles. The panel upon a slashed team skirt is filled in with row after row of two-inch ruffles that extend from the knee line to the extreme, edge of the dress. Of course, they form a long pyramid at the dividing line. Black and white and silver are strikingly combined in a large hat of black beaver, with sweeping white plumes and a large silver buckle in front.

LAST week in Columbus a mob was formed to lynch a colored man. The authorities spirited him away. He was accused of attempt to assault a white woman, who on investigation proved the innocence of the accused. Had the lawless mob been permitted to carry out their design another innocent man would have been hurled into eternity. LAWLESSNESS has broken out anew in the South. Nearly every day an account of the lawless action of the white south is observed. If these lynching of men had occurred so frequently in some isles of the seas the people of this country would arise with indignation and in loud protest. They have done so in many cases, but at their own door, their lips are sealed, and the lawless ones are permitted to carry on their heinous work. TILLMAN is indeed frank in his manner and at times tells some mighty truths. He has admitted on the floor of the senate on Monday what we have charged so very often that the disfranchisement law is illegal and only enacted to get rid of the Negro vote. Tillman went further and said that he voted tissue ballots so often in his State that he got tired and voted once for a colored man, as if this was a crime. Some day the South will regret the enactment of these self-same disfranchisement laws. Lincoln Celebration. Yesterday was Lincoln's birthday. It was observed all over the country. Savannah did its share in its honor. Last Sunday the services at the First Congregational Church were given over in observance of the occasion. Rev. Cash, the pastor, delivered a sermon pregnant with inspiration from Lincoln's life. At night some of the students of the Beach and the Sunday School took a part in the services. Addresses were delivered by Prof. Weld and Dr. Lloyd. The address of Dr. Buchanan, who was called from the city, was read by Mr. C. A. McDowell. These addresses were in keeping with the occasion. At the same place yesterday, the Interdenominational Ministers Union presented a program that was enjoyed by all present. The old veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic, paraded in honor of the day and carried out a nicely arranged program at First Bryan Baptist church. Last night, at First Congregational Church, the Men Sunday Club observed Lincoln-Donglass birthdays. A large audience enjoyed the program. The main address was delivered by Prof. Wright. Monday night at Asbury M. E. Church, a similar celebration will be held to which the public is invited. Rev. Ainsworth and Prof. Wright will speak. This Savannah Boy An Artist. Unknown in the musical world twenty years ago, Mr. W. H. Ray left Savannah to work his way among strangers. He was a West Broad Street School boy and "Currytown" was his bailiwick. Little did the boys with whom he roamed and played the "richet" dreamed that their friend would develop into the artist, and known in the vaudeville world as "Musical" Ray. Immediately after leaving here Mr. Ray begun to develop his musical ability, and today he is in a class by himself when it comes to make music out of the organ chimes, Swiss bells, musical glasses, feather dusters, sleigh bells, musical coins, etc. Mr. Ray is on a visit to his relatives and friends and will be here about three weeks. He has been requested to give several entertainments. He has appeared before the Sunday Club and pleased those who heard him. Last Monday he captivated a large audience at the F. B. B. Church and has a return engagement. Before leaving the city, assisted by other talents, he may have a show at the theatre for benefit of Charity Hospital. THE TRIBUNE is always proud to note the progress and achievements of our young men, and join in commending Prof. Ray and bid- ding him a royal welcome to his old home, Anent Classes. The building up of a race of men, strong in all the requisites of citizenship, is but the patronizing and supporting the individuals of the race, who have created something worthy of support. And herein rests the future of the Negro race. Let me call attention to some special classes of men among us, whose presence is indispensable, when reckoning of the physical, as well as the moral and material well being of our race. Our physicians form one of these special classes of our citizen body, that is absolutely dependent upon the patronage of the individuals of the Negro race for support. True, they may be called in consultation occasionally, but what accrues to them in the way of renumeration as the direct result thereof would not I venture to state, clad "Betsy Bug" during the four seasons of the year. They must, there fore, grow fat 'or lean upon the patronage of the race to which they belong. Their pills and their pituces must mould and rot if they are not used by the Negro. Now this class of men have expended miniature fortunes in securing the knowledge that enables them to scientifically combat the diseases incident to life. They have "burned the midnight oil" digging after the facts which only study will reveal, and they should be rewarded by our patronage, for in giving it we reward and are rewarded. This class of men should succeed, for their success will not prove, solely, to be success to that class of men; but also, success to the entire race to which they belong. Theirs is practically a new field and all hands should line up and work it well. But, as a class, they are but a unit in the great racial equation and it is the sum of all the units of a series that rounds out the perfect result, and, hence the absolute necessity of combined effort. But the medicos should not only be members of the creator class. They should also, join the patron class and, thereby, inject precept and example while their patrons swallow pills. For a pill of example has often operated upon the system of an whole community while the compounded article stirs only the individual. Our doctors realize this fact—others must learn it. Now, there is another special and individual class in our citizen body, who have spent ore to get jore, whose duties are as well defined as the duties of the doctors and whose labors are far more diversified if not as intricate. This class of individuals is the teacher class. The entire community supports them in a way, unsolicited. Then it is almost fierely "up to them" to do the reciprocity act. Unlike the doctors theirs is a fixed stipend and does not wabble with the fluxuations of the price of commodities nor from stringency of coin. They are therefore, an independent class and may dispense their patronage as they choose. They should choose and do choose to be patriotic, and their position as a unit in the race patronage equation is well defined. They do not segregate their forces. They dissiminate their influence and patronage among the people and their powers for good in the community is very potent and visible. Their influence shines out from the boys and girls who are daily taught by them, and in no distant future, the real weight, in influence, of this class of our citizen body will not be eclipsed by any cloud of doubts as to its present effects. And, although they do not solicit our patronage, they are, nevertheless desirous of our cooperation. They can teach better at school if the children are taught better at home. Hence, it may be seen, that we are all bound together anyhow, and our interests are interests in common. Our teachers mingle with the masses and dispense advice in societies and churches and their wholesome instructions fall in fertile soil and bear prolific harvests. There is another special class in the citizen body that diserves more than passing comment. It occupies a place in the racial life that should not be provided. But in any series of equations one is liable to find an O. Hence, it has grown to be perfectly natural, and sometimes, useful for filling in space. This class does nothing. "They toil not, neither do they spin," but they fatten upon the flesh of the fowl that scratches for support. It is said of the late Grover Cleveland, that when defining the pessimist and the optimist, he found that there were some individuals who could not be placed, legitimately, in either class. He, therefore, made anoth-class for them, denominating the class formed, the "Iffists." He had to define the word end, hence, used the following illustration: "If we had some ham, we could have some ham and eggs, if we had the eggs." It may be seen that the fellows in this class of "ifists are "Spaceers and their greatest service is to entertain the chase." Their spec. always. "If I should do, I would do if I could do." We cannot forcibly eliminate this class. They must be worn out by the toleration of them in their uselessness, without contribution to their baneful existence. They are the parisites of the body politic and operate in the very bone and sinew of the race, leaving a poisonous residuum that aches the frame and produces the groans which call the doctors from "restless beds." There are other classes of the body politic, but, being of equal importance to the first two classes herein mentioned, they cannot, at this writing, be discussed. But "while the kid-turns on the spit," and a ray of hope amid a storm is lit, it shall be ours to let the world know, that as a people, we, of this part of the sphere terrestrial are "Sui generis." As such we continue to cleve together and grow in strength, because we have, verily, learned that there is strength in union. ROY REGINALD. Items from St. Mary's. Mr. E.

Guess who are the young girls that are always quarreling about a certain young boy. Guess who were the young boys out on a serenade on Wednesday night. Guess who wears a coat that when he turns a corner it hides him. Early Risers. Rev. Daughtry at Mt. Bethel. The following is the sermon preached by Rev. W. A. Daughtry at Mt. Bethel Baptist Church on Sunday night last from John 14-1, "Let not your hearts be troubled," subject, "Christ comforted his disciples." "And John it is said, was carried to Rome where he was plunged into boiling oil without being hurt and afterwards exiled to the Isle of Patmos in the Aegean Sea where he wrote his Revelation. Here lonely and forsaken of men on the high cliff, he saw calm Sabbath dawn brightly over the sleeping sea. On that grand morning this lone Isle of Patmos became the watch-tower of the church of God, pacing along the barren ledge of rock, his white head bowed on his bosom, his thought intent upon his Lord, was John the last of the apostolic band. Suddenly came a voice behind him like the voice of the ocean waves, the swelling tones of many waters. He jurne , the Mount of the Transfiguration with its glories seemed to have come to him in exile. There stood that ever blessed Son of man clothed in those garments whiter than mountain snow, girdled with gleaming gold. His face shining as when the three disciples beheld his glory, even as sun in the mid day skies. Overcome with joy and adoration, amazed and speechless at the glorious Master had come to him on earth once more, John fell at His feet as dead. Never before and never since was the veil so lifted from mortal vision and man permitted to behold the Unseen and the Infinite. To John alone of all the sons of men was given to see the throne in heaven, the emerald, rainbow and the sea of glass like unto a crystal. John who had seen Jerusalem perish from earth saw now the end of his foes fainted. The man went to his own place. Nerya succeeded on the empire of the Cesean, then had the christians rest for a space and they of Ephesus made haste to bring from banishment John, and place him once more in their midst. In this city stood the temple of Diana and in the very shadow of this monument of Paganism, John spent his latest days and drew his last sigh. His death occurred about the close of the first century of the christian era, when he had reached the great age of one hundred years. The evening splendor of his day of life shown from that glorious vision, which had met on Patmos. From that apocalyptic earth life had seemed a conscious dreaming and his actual living had already passed within the veil, and was among the realities of the house not made with hands." Ministers Union. The Evangelical Ministers Union met at St Philip A M E-Church on Tuesday Dr. Lindsay presided. Devine service were conducted by Rev. J S Jeunks "Bless be the tie that binds" was stung. The 15th Psalms was read and the Union joined in chanting "Pass me not O gentle Saylor." - P.E.

A four leaved pamphlet, containing the order of Lenten services to be held in St. Benedict's Church, has been prepared and may be got in the church office on Sunday, and in St. Benedict's rectory during the week. A glance of the pamphlet shows that these services will be most edifying, instructive and interesting. Of special interest will be a message to be given to Catholics and non-Catholics on Wednesday evening during lent. The letter is given by Rev. J. A. Dahent, who, during the long years of his professorship, had ample opportunities of collecting interesting material for the exposition and the defense of the great Catholic doctrines. Please get one of these pamphlets and keep it as a reminder in your prayer book; give one also to your non-Catholic friends; it may be interesting to them. F. B. B. Church Dots On Sunday morning, Rev. Wright read for the lesson 1 John 3:1. His text was from 1 John 3:14. The sermon was a text for the christians as to whether they had, passed from death unto life. Each was left to answer for himself by saying "yes" to the subject of the sermon, which was "Love." The choir sang "Ye saints adore His name." Rev Sim read hymn 643; Rev Walker prayed the closing prayer. On Sunday night the distinguished guests of the church were the G. E. Aid and Social Club and their branch. The choir very sweetly sang the Medley, "Jesus lover of my soul." Rev Wright read for the leeon 2 Cor. 10; The text was from Hcb. 4.6 The subject was: The throne of grace "Grand Woman." The throne of club by saying that he felt it an honor he chosen to say a word to them about Jesus are all Savannah boys and playmates, and I thank God for the honor. The sermon was an excellent one holding up especially the wickedness of Paul in trying to do all he could against the christians of his day by cruel treatment Paul like the sinner of today served his king. Christians should learn a lesson and be just as faithful to their King. He emplied his hearers to give up what they called having "A good time," and come to Jesus who would never forsake them matters not how poor they get. He told of a young man who in his health forsook him and Jesus but when disease crept upon him, like the "Prodigal Son," he returned home, acknowledged his guilt, was received by his poor mother, accepted Jesus, and went to heaven. Do not wait until it is to late but accept a Saylor's love now. The choir sang "God be merciful." Rev. Wright led the hymn "A throne of grief." The choir led the club and branch to stand while he prayed a prayer that shall long be re-commended. The club and breast contributed very liberally to the pastor, church, cooir and sexton.

Wide interest in both Europe and America has been attracted by the New York World's $10,000 airship prize for the person who duplicates in the air in a mechanically propelled airship the trip of Robert Fulton's first steamboat from New York to Albany a century ago. This is the first prize of importance offered in America. There have been a dozen or more entries already. A Clem ent-Bayard air yacht is to be brought over from Paris to compete. Capt. Thomas S Baldwin, the veteran astronaut is building a new dirigible especially for the contest. The Wright brothers have cabed from Paris asking for the conditions of entry. There is every prospect that the contest will be a great success.

THE CHINESE WALL IS TO BE TORN DOWN. Rolle of twenty centuries, extending as far back for its origin as the traditions and superstitions that have kept China from progressing to its rightful place among the nations, the Chinese wall is said to be doomed. This marvelous barrier, extending more than 1700 miles over mountain and valley, faces destruction. It is said that under the rule of the new regent, Prince Chun, progressiveness will be carried to a point where not only will the old order of government see its downfall, but all that physically recalls the past will also be destroyed. Tradition is the yoke that blinds China. It is the obstacle that has kept that country of marvelous resources, back. Prince Chun knows this, and it is said that in his desire to effect reform he will not content himself with merely establishing new methods in his systems of government, but will actually wipe out the physical relics which keep the face of China turned to the past rather than to the future. Of all these survivals, the Chinese wall is the most famous and the most wonderful. The countries of power in the world to-day were unknown when this structure was built to keep out the invader. In cataloguing the wonders of the world it has never been possible to make a classification that omitted the Chinese wall. It was 200 years old when Christ came to earth; but even then it was not the work of a young nation, for China has a history that can be traced back for 6000 years. The project for tearing down the Chinese wall originated some years ago, and it is said that the late Empress and her son, whose deaths coming so close together a few weeks ago so suddenly changed the whole aspect of the future for China, had consented to abolish the wall, and had even signed the contracts for its removal when superstitious fear seized them and the order was revoked. Descended as they both were of the Tsin dynasty that built the wall, and having that worship of ancestry that is deeply ingrained in the beliefs of the Mongolian, they feared at the last moment to commit this sacrilege on the master work of the dead. But Prince Chun, who is regent for the two-year-old baby Emperor is possessed of full authority, has no such scruples. He is not the offspring of emperors, and there is nothing to hold him in check. He is known to have strongly advanced ideas and to be especially independent and scornful where the old ideas of the past are concerned. Therefore it is probable that he will carry the work of demolition to a finish. The interest in whether he does so goes further than the mere question of the wall. It has to do indirectly with the future of the immense hordes who people the country. The wall is the symbol of the ancient that holds the country in check. If it be brought down the modernists will take it as a sign that the new ruler will during his stay as regent enforce the new ideals. If, in spite of his impulses, he is wont to let the great wall stay, China will settle back lazily and comfortably and decide that nothing radical will occur under the present regime. This is the situation that now gives such an extraordinary interest to the old line of fortifications. Modern artillery would speedily reduce the last vestige of the ancient barrier, but it was not built to withstand this kind of attack, and in the days when it reared its head over the landscape it was an impassable stronghold. The visitor who gazes at this stupendous construction is made to feel very modest as to the skill of the modern engineer. Experts of all nations have named it the most astounding piece of work ever performed by man. Even over the pyramids and the Sphinx it is given the credit. In imagination the spectator is moved back twenty centuries to the time that Shi-Hoang-ti, the greatest of Chinese heroes, reigned. China then led the world in wealth and in culture. The nation had a A RIFLED PIPE.LINE. It is 282 Miles Long and Taps the California Oil Fields. The most remarkable pipe line in the world, a line of eight inch pipe 283 miles long, has just been completed in the California oil fields. It runs from Oil City, in the famous Coalinga country, to the seaboard near Port Costa, and its length is the least wonderful thing about it. In this immense tube, with pumping stations twenty-four miles apart, a complete inner tube of flying, whirling water keeps the heavy crude oil from contact with the steel pipe. The well known antipathy of oil and water keeps the carried fluid and the carrier apart, but until the autumn of 1907 this comparatively simple principle had not been brought into use, and the problem of the transportation of oil was the greatest the producers of the West Coast had to face. Now this great obstacle has been removed, and Harriman's engines on the Southern Pacific and the furnaces of his steamers which are soon to ply the Pacific will be fed from this line, by which 17,000 to 20,000 barrels of thick 14 degree fuel oil can be moved over one of the twenty- great literature. It was possessed of wealth and culture, and the rich rewards of conquest constantly inspired the Mongols, wild tribes who lived in the country now called Mongolia, to make forays. They had invaded the country on the northern part, and were encroaching further toward Pekin and the provinces to the south. It was in this crisis that Shi-Hoang-ti performed the feats of valor that made his name forever famous in Chinese song and poem. Assembling a mighty army, he threw himself on the Mongolian hordes, fought them, defeated them, and sent them flying back from Chinese territory. But it was not enough to have downed the enemy. The Mongols always came back. They had a pertinacity that made them the most dangerous of foes. Therefore it became necessary to construct a barrier that would unfailingly perform its duty. Everything had to be done by hand, for the great engineering devices that to-day accomplish the work of five hundred men had not then been invented. But fortunately labor was plenty in this most thickly populated country in the world, and swiftly the great wall moved into its place, grim and powerful and able to withstand any assault that Mongols might make. Its battlemented walls are fifty feet high, and at every few hundred feet they bristle with towers where in days of yore Chinese warriors stood ever ready to repel the invader. The wall is twenty-five feet wide and is built for the greater part of its way with mortared brick and stone. When the Ming dynasty had come into power it duplicated, for a considerable extent, Shi-Hoang-ti's wall, and thus for a large part of the distance there is a double barrier. The most powerful part of the wall was that at Pa-ta-tiling, for this gate was only sixty miles from Pekin, and here it was that any charges directed against the nation would have to be repulsed. One great battle was fought here, for at the top of the Nankou Pass the gate was the nook of the last stand against the noted Mongolian warrior, Genghis Khan, and when he overrode the defenders it was down the pass and through the gate that the conquerur led his forces. He took the Mongols into China and conquered a country against which his people had been fighting for 1300 years. Kubla Khan also entered by this pass when he completed the conquest of China and made his realm the greatest the world has ever known. Genghis Khan and Kubla Klan were differently disposition. Genghis burned all the literature of China, but Kubla Khan protected the literature and helped along the people by wise measures that gave prosperity in agriculture and commerce. Kubla fixed places in the wall that had been ravaged by the wars of the centuries and undertook to restore tranquility in the country. Some historians have said that the great wall accounted for the sloth into which China fell. The huge barrier, which even to-day shows itself to be stoutly built, gave the people a sense of security and made them feel that no nation could overwhelm them. Centuries passed in this foolish delusion; but when the war with Japan came China discovered that she had been sleeping. Since the humiliation of that defeat by the Mikado, a determination has grown up among the younger element of the people to earn a place among the great nations, of the world. The old Dowager Empress and the weakling Emperor stood in the way. Now they are gone, and the country looks with hope to the strong man who is now at the helm. Along the pass of Nankou is to run the new-Russian railway. If it goes along a country from which the great wall has been razed China will feel, no matter how the remainder of the world may regret the passing of a famous relic, that a new era has dawned.—Seattle Post-Intelligencer. four mile sections every twenty-four hours. The pipe line, which is the invention of John D. Isaacs and Buckner Speed, is first rifled. These rifles, or corrugations, says the Technical World, are about one-eighth of an inch in depth and make one complete revolution of the pipe line in every ten lineal feet. Instead of heating the oil to thin it and make it travel the more easily through the pipe, as is the custom on all the Pennsylvania, Indiana' and Virginia lines, the heavy black fluid in this case is shot into the pipe coil with a ten per-cent addition of water. The centrifugal force given to the whole mass by the rifting of the pipe throws the water to the outside, forming a perfect sheath of coating in which the oil travels completely separated from the guardian water. This film between the oll and the pipe naturally reduces the friction to a great degree, as well as carrying along the oll at a much greater speed than thinner oll of higher gravity, much easier to move, has ever been carried.

A Christmas Tree for the Birds. A Christmas tree for sparrows was a feature of the celebration of the day in West Chester, Pa., when Mrs. James Mowen, who feeds the birds of her locality every day, placed a large cedar tree in a snow drift in her yard and decorated it with pieces of cake, bread, meat and other things for the birds. It is said at least 100 sparrows got a portion of the food during the day, and a nearby baker did a rushing business. The home birds seemed to have invited all those within a distance of many blocks and the yard was a busy scene, the tree being almost torn down by the birds.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

Plenty of regular exercise must be taken in order to keep the body in a healthy condition. Any excessive or unusual exertion, however, is sure to cause stiffness and soreness of the muscles and joints. To counteract this effect there is nothing better than Sloan's Liniment. Lay it on lightly where the muscles have been strained; it requires no rubbing for it penetrates right to the bone, relieves any congestion and inflammation and makes the muscles elastic and pliant. Sloan's Liniment is a great boon to athletes, for it not only relieves pain and stiffness, but it is an excellent remedy for sprains, cuts, bruises and cramps. Mr. J. F. Price of Tuscumbia, Ala., writes:—"I am an engineer on the Southern Road from Chattanooga to Memphis, Teen. The continued elevation of my arm upon the throttle gives it a sore feeling when on a long journey, and there is nothing that will take the soreness out like Sloan's Liniment, and I keep a bottle in my grip always."

An American Elbowed Into Gutter By "Politest People on Earth." Pleasant People on Earth. Tradition declares the French to be the most polite people, in the world. They're not, writes Samuel Hopkins Adams in Collier's. Individually the Frenchman may be courteous. Collectively he lacks the essential element of courtesy, regard for the feelings of others. Charming in private, in public he is an individualist to the verge of savagery. In the theatre he is a nulsance, on the street he is a boer, travelling he is—there is no other word adequate to the occasion—a hog. You discover this on the occasion of your first promenade in Paris. My first day on the boulevards of Paris was spent mainly in the gutter, my second in apologizing to people who were urging me thither. My third I devoted to doing some butting myself. My fourth, fifth and sixth I nursed laugh shoulders. Now I have a hardened spot in my soul and two more on the front of my collarbone, and I can look straight into the eyes of an elderly French lady with long gray whiskers and convince her that she doesn't want more than two-thirds of the sidewalk, and if she does want it who doesn't get it. This sounds ungentlemanly, but it's necessary. For if you let yourself get shunted into the street often enough it's only a question of time when a watchful taxi auto will get you. American Horses. The development of types of light horses has been notable in the United States, but according to a bulletin recently issued by the Department of Agriculture with a single exception the draft horses have been foreign strains transplanted. Of the light horses, the Narragansett pacer was a famous type in Colonial days. Later came the Morgan, the standard bred and the saddle horse. The specialization of these types has been a national business and in spite of importations from abroad the native stock has developed and held its own. Of draft horses, on the other hand, the only native type was the Canestoga, a breed that has now become completely extinct and has left no discernible traces on the native stock. For heavy work, therefore, Americans must depend upon the imported Percherons, Clydesdales and Shires. The national traits which have resulted in these conditions are evidently somewhat different from what has been supposed; for the speed mania is what has caused the light types to be developed and the heavy ones to be neglected. American breeders have sacrificed other qualities which, in the opinion of the Department of Agriculture, are more important in order to lower track records by a second or two. In the minds of most persons, Virginia, Kentucky and other parts of the South are most commonly associated with the pedigrees and development of the finest types of horses. To all who hold that opinion it will be instructive to trace, through the pages of the bulletin, number of great strains of racing, carriage and saddle blood which, although commonly associated with the South, in reality go directly back to New England.

NO MEDICINE But a Change of Food Gave Relief. Many persons are learning that drugs are not the thing to rebuild worn out nerves, but proper food is required. There is a certain element in the cereals, wheat, barley, etc., which is grown there by nature for food to brain and nerve tissue. This is the phosphate of potash, of which Grape-Nuts food contains a large proportion. In making-this food all the food elements in the two cereals, wheat and barley, are retained. That is why so many heretofore nervous and run down people find in Grape-Nuts a true nerve and brain food. "I can say that Grape-Nuts food has done much for me as a nerve reviewer," writes a Wls. bride. "A few years ago, before my marriage, I was a bookkeeper in a large firm. I became so nervous toward the end of each week that it seemed I must give up my position, which I could not afford to do. "Mother purchased some Grape-Nuts, and we found it not only delicious, but, I noticed from day to day that I was improving until I finally realized I was not nervous any more. "I have recommended it to friends as a brain and nerve food, never having found its equal. I owe much to Grape-Nuts; as it saw me from a nervous collapse, and enabled me to retain my position."

Pull on them at the same time, and the entire length will come out. If you wish the bag for any other use, turn wrong side out, and remove all the stitching the same way. Be sure and have the chain stitch at the left.—Boston Post. Take Time to Walk. The hurried movements incident to modern commercial life interfere in more ways than one with hygienic living. The urban resident who bolts his breakfast and hurries off to his indoor business or professional engagements deprives himself of one of the most important elements in the maintenance of his vital energy, and mental activity. Vigorous walking is a gobbled form of body exercise. It tends to increase the normal activity of every organ and function of the body. Were it more generally and actively engaged in by both sexes the necessity for gymnasia and other artificial substitutes would not be apparent.—American Cultivator. The Secret of Washing Gloves. "The only trouble about these wash gloves," said the lady, "is that they dry, after washing, so very stiff and boardlike." The salesman wrapped the soft, pale yellow gloves in tissue paper. "That is easily remedied," he said. "I'll tell you how to wash gloves so that they will dry soft and pliable, the same as new. After you have rinsed them quite clean, dip them in a final bath of fresh water and rub plenty of soap into them, drying them without rinsing this last soap out. The soap left in the gloves makes them wonderfully soft—they don't then need, after drying, to be rubbed soft with ten or fifteen minutes' hard labor. This soap secret being used, wash gloves are quite perfect. It is no wonder they are completely superseding the expensive kid glove, for they are half as cheap again and their washing is so easy—do them at bedtime, toss them on the radiator, and in the morning they are ready to put on."—New Orleans Times-Democrat GOOD THINGS TO EAT END HOW TO PREPARE THEM Flannel Bread.—One quart of milk, one-half cup of butter, whites of two eggs, one compressed yeast, flour enough to make a thin batter.

We have a little warning which will allow us to doctor the horse of the cow, but it is not so with the hog. He may seem to be all right one day and the next it will be too late to cure him.

Ecet Sugar All Right. Owing to an opinion sometimes expressed that beet sugar is not as satisfactory for making preserves and jellies as cane sugar, the California Experiment Station studied the question under commercial and domestic conditions. Of 2000 cans of cherries, apricots, plums, peaches and pears prepared with syrups of different strengths and stored for two years in cases under rather unfavorable conditions, only six cans from the beet sugar lot and seven cans from the cane sugar lot were found to be spoiled, evidently owing to imperfect sealing. This shows, according to a report of the station, "the utter lack of foundation for the idea that fruits do not keep well when preserved with beet sugar, and that such sugar does not work well in the cannery."—American Cultivator. Work in Poultry Yard. Many people are getting tired of eating pork and old dairy cows, and are becoming eaters of chicken, mutton and veal, thus increasing the possibilities of the sheep and poultry business. Farmers make a mistake when they select special purpose fowls. The number of cokereis hatched and raised make it essential that we do not lose sight of the money that comes in from that source. When we find that we cannot use a ration for our laying hens that some one else has used successfully we may be sure that something is wrong with our flock or our methods. As soon as we find a well balanced ration that produces good results we should stick to it, for changes in the line of feeding are often expensive and produce heavy losses. When poultry can eat and thrive on all kinds of food and produce good results it is very good evidence that they are constitutionally strong.—Drovers' Journal. Money in Fruit Growing. There is big money in fruit growing, but an element of uncertainty and speculation enters into it to a large extent, according to Professor T. C. Karns, the Tennessee farming authority. The uncertainty of crops is the greatest drawback. What any season may bring forth in the way of late spring frosts is entirely problematical. The numerous diseases that now infest orchards also deter many from undertaking the business. Yet this drawback may be overcome by scientific culture, spraying, etc. And still there is big money in the business to the man of energy who knows what he is doing. It is true he must walt a few years for his returns, but when they do come they are abundant. No little part of the profit is in the increased value of the land where orchards are planted. Where the grower can work up a general interest and have all his neighbors go into the business, lands often rise in four or five years from $20 an acre to $100. Where, the owner desires only to speculate this appreciation of the land itself pays him handsomely. L. P. Bailey, president of the Ohio Board of Agriculture, says his practice of feeding the milking herd is as follows: Grain at 4.45 a. m. Begin milking at 5.30, which requires about one and one-half hours. After milking feed all the silage the cows will eat up clean, usually about fifteen or twenty pounds. At 10 a. m., if weather is not stormy or too cold, the cows are all turned out to water and the stables freed from all animals. If weather is favorable they remain out until 3 p. m., when they are put back in the stable, and each cow is given about one pound of grain. This is merely a bait to make them come into the stable and remain in their stalls until they can be fastened. They are then given as much hay, preferably clover, as they will eat without waste. Begin milking at 5 p. m. After milking we feed silage with grain mixed in it. The stables are then closed for the night. For grain feed we use dried brewers' grains, gluten feed, molasses grains, wheat bran, corn and cob meal, cottonseed and oil meal. We never use all these foods at once, but aim to make a balanced ration as near as possible. I have been using silage for fifteen years. I use round silos, with wooden hoops inside and outside two by four inch studding. They are lined on the inside with good pine flooring. Preventing Disease Among Hogs. Cold weather is now at hand and this is the season of the year when disease of some kind is most likely to break out among the hogs. The changeable weather and new feed make it necessary to watch the hogs closely, while crowding them for the market. As every farmer knows, it is much easier to prevent disease than to cure it. There is perhaps no anti- mal upon the farm which succumbs more readily to disease*than the hog. We have a little warning which will allow us to doctor the horse or the cow, but it is not so with the hog. He may seem to be all right one day, and the next it will be too late to cure him. All of this proves that we must watch the hogs closely and give them the best possible care, before disease gets a foothold. We must be particularly careful about allowing contagious disease to get a start or to spread through the herd. There are many ways of carrying disease germs from one herd to another. Strangers, dogs, crows and streams of water which flow through lots or pastures where the disease has been raging are some of the most common. Circumstances will suggest others. We must be on the constant lookout and guard against these wherever possible. The hog is a clean animal, and he is too often forced to be otherwise. Cleanliness is a very necessary feature for best results. The feed troughs and hog houses should be kept clean, and the animals allowed to partake of no other feed or water but that which is clean.—W. H. U., in Indiana Farmer. Celery Culture. "Please give us through your paper the best way to raise celery, and the care of it for winter on the farm, and oblige. F. JONES." We are glad to reply to such queries as this; it shows that our farmers are trying for some of the luxuries as well as the necessities and comforts of the table that are within their reach. Perhaps we ought not to speak of celery as a luxury, although quite often it is that; it is also one of the most healthful of vegetables. But why did not Mr. J. ask this question last spring? He must know that it is too late to do anything with such a plant this season. To describe the method of celery culture now would be a waste of time. The information would be all forgotten before planting time next year, and the number of the Farmer containing the information would be lost. So we will give only a few facts regarding the soil, its preparation, etc., at this time, promising if we are reminded of it, to continue the subject when the season approaches again. Celery does best in rich, mellow, sandy loam, moist and yet drained. Well rotted leaf mold and stable manure should be used freely. Well drained muck soil makes good celery soil, such as prevails along the Kankakee River. Such soils should be treated with potash, but not with nitrogen. It is a good plan to grow an early maturing crop like lettuce, beans or peas before setting out the celery if the ground is rich enough. In this way you get two crops in a season and fit the soil the better for the celery-plants. The profits of the crop, if you are growing for the market, will depend upon the manner and expense of getting it to your customers and your care in handling, etc. The value of the crop is estimated at from $100 to $200 per acre, after deducting about $100 for expenses of cultivating, handling, etc.—Indiana Farmer. Gathering Air Nitrogen. Remarkable advance is being made in the gathering of nitrogen direct from the air, without the intervention of nitrogen gathering bacteria. Several powerful companies in Norway have built immense dams across some of the snow fed rivers of that country and have developed immense water powers. This power is used for the making of electricity, to be used in the capturing of the nitrogen of the air. The electricity is passed through great metal plates in a furnace, and the current of air that passes through the space between the plates is heated to a very high temperature. It yields up its nitrogen, which is deposited in a form that has to be passed over free lime to fix it. The lime over which it is passed absorbs it, and in this form it is sold under the name of lime nitrogen. This lime nitrogen is used for fertilizer and takes the place of nitrate of soda. The production is now many thousands of tons a year for each of the large factories. So great is the value of this lime nitrogen for agricultural purposes that companies are being formed in many countries to take advantage of the existence of great water power and build factories for the manufacture of this product. The result is sure to be revolutionary. The water power going to waste in all parts of the world is beyond human calculation, and the supply of power possible of utilization is without limit. The whole world is certain to feel the effects of this remarkable development. The agriculture of the Old World will be the first to experience a new stimulation from it, on account of the great needs of the European lands for nitrogen. The first factories constructed have been in Europe, and this will be another reason why the Europeans will be the first to benefit by the new manufacture. The supply of nitrogen in American soil has been greatly depleted in some places, but not to the extent it has been in some of the older countries of the world, in spite of the efforts of the farmers of those countries to conserve the nitrogen.—The Farmers' Review. The Ural and Siberia produce 657,440 tons of iron each year. You Look Prematurely Old More Literature for the Blind. What is to be known as the New York system of "point reading" reading for the blind has been perfected by William B. Walt, principal of the New York Institute for the Blind, and B. B. Huntoon, the superintendent of the American Printing House for the Blind, at Louisville. By cheapening the cost of printing such literature the system is expected to permit many blind persons to purchase reading matter. The Sunday school lessons in the new "point" system, for the blind will be sent to press in a week, and it is expected that the entire system of religious instruction for the eighty thousand blind persons in the United States will undergo marked changes. Hitherto, because of the raised surfaces, only one side of the paper could be used, making the cost of a book or paper for a blind reader a large item. The New York system is so arranged that both sides of the paper can be used. The embossing on one side of the page is between the lines of the embossing on the other. The cost of production will be reduced by fully 40 per cent—New York Tribune. Plies Cured in 6 to 14 Days.

Lame Back Prescription Considerable discussion is being caused among the medical fraternity by the increased use of whiskey for lame back and rheumatism. It is an almost infallible cure when mixed with certain other ingredients and taken properly. The following is the formula: "To one ounce of Toris compound and ounce syrup Sasaparilla compound add one-half pint of good whiskey. Take in tablespoonful doses before each meal and before retiring." It is surely worth trying by any one who may be afflicted. It is not always the farmer with the largest acreage who makes the most money. CHILD HAD SIXTY BOILS And Suffered Annually With a Red Scald-Like Humor on Her Head—Troubles Cured by Cuticura. "When my little Vivian was about six months old her head broke out in boils. She had about sixty in all and I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment which cured her entirely. Sometimes later a humor broke out behind her ears and spread up on to her head until it was nearly half covered. The humor looked like a scald, very red with a sticky, clear fluid coming from it. This occurred every spring. I always used Cuticura Soap and Ointment which never failed to heal it up. The last time it broke out it became so bad that I was discouraged. But I continued the use of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent until she was well and has never been troubled in the last two years. Mrs. M. A.

Disbursements Were Largely In Excess of the Revenue—Increased Receipts Result of Natural Development. Atlanta, Ga.—An increase of more than half, a million dollars in the state's revenues for 1908 over 1907 will be shown by the report of Treasurer Parky now in process of preparation for the printer. The significance of this is fully appreciated only when due consideration is given the fact that the increase is recorded during Georgia's first year of prohibition, when the liquor traffic revenue was cut out from among the state's sources of revenue. Quoting the figures exactly, they are as follows Total receipts 1908 ..... $5,358,273.16 Total receipts, 1907 ..... 4,813,764.83 Increase, 1908 ..... $574,508.33 The figures given represent actual receipts from January 1 to December 31 of each year, and do not include balances on hand. But as the state's receipts have increased, so have its expenses grown. The disbursements in 1908 were more than three-quarters of a million dollars greater than they had been in the preceding year. In 1907 the disbursements were $470,000. In 1908 they had swollen to $5,570,295.51—a difference of $772,825.82 in favor of (or rather to the discredit or) 1908. As will be noted from the above figures, the expenses of 1908 were greater than the state's revenues for that year. The difference was absorbed by a balance that had been on-hand at the beginning of the year. And now in 1909, the starting month has shown the same tendency, the receipts of 1909 were greater than the receipts during that month by some 50,000. Following are the figures: Receipts, January, 1908: $1,581,686.10 Receipts, January, 1903. $1,581,686.10 Disbursements ..... 1,638,782.74 Excess of latter ..... $51,096.64 The increased revenue is explainable by a natural development of the states' resources and growth of her commerce and by some new taxing by the last legislature as set forth. The even bigger increase in disbursements, however, is a matter upon which the report of the treasurer will be read with much interest. SENATOR CLAY APPOINTER. United States Senator From Georgia (Bell Lociation, Florida, Us) Until Legislature elects Him. Atlanta, Ga.-Senator A. S. Clay, nominated in the primary of June, 1908, to succeed himself as United States senator from Georgia, and who who will be elected by the legislature that meets the coming summer, has been appointed by Governor Smith to serve in that capacity during the interim between the expiration of his present term on March 4 and the time of the meeting of the legislature in June. The necessity for such executive appointment grows out of the change in the time of meeting of the legislature from October to June, the result of which is to defer the time of meeting of the legislature, which much elect the senator for four months after the expiration of the ter mot the incumbent. COUNTIES HOLDING UP REQUISITIONS Convict Law Thought to Be Defective and May Be Changed. Atlanta, Ga—It has been rumored recently that a number of counties of Georgia were holding up their requisitions for state convicts under the new law, effective April 1, on the belief that the law is defective in many of its parts and may be changed materially by the next legislature. Whitfield county, in particular, has accepted classification as a doubling county. The county commissioners of that county, it is reported, recently decided to wait a while before making requisition for any convicts, preferring to wait and see what the coming legislature does with the law. The Whitfield county commissioners did its joint opinion that the bill will be materially amended at the next session of the general assembly. Other counties, too, it is said, have taken the same view as Whitfield. SAVANNAH HAS PROBLEM. How to Dispose of 20,000 Gallons of Liquor, Worrier the Mayor, Savannah, Ga.—Enough whiskey to keep all of Savannah's most eager throats wet for a month, and then enough to stock several up to date bar rooms, is stored in an unused building on the police grounds, as a result of the numerous sweeping rails made on blind tigers since the prohibition law went into ect. It is estimated that 20,000 gallons of whiskey, to say nothing of beer and everything from the wagons near wine to the finest champagne is stored in the building, and that the gradual growth of the liquor stock the city is now sponsor for will soon cause either the destruction of the liquor stock or the building of new quarters for it. It is probable that it will be a long time before the liquor is poured out, as there is a settled objection to disposing of whiskey that way in Savannah. It can't be sold nor given away, and the city officials are up against a proposition that is worrying them. FOREST FIRES STOPPED. Flames Burned Fiercely While Fanned by High Winds. Moultrie, Ga. — The forest fires which have raged in this section during the past week are now under control, temporarily at least, as the result of a heavy rain which fell. The fires burned fiercely, and the entire population of the threatened territory has been organized into a fire fighting force. In the districts where the damage was greatest, fires continue to burn. While putting several wild animals through an act at a street, carnival at Albany, a trainer was attacked by a large lion and severely bitten in the neck and arms before he was rescued by the attendants and spectators. By the quick work of Samuel Ferkas, a citizen, who ran from the audience and jabbed the brute with a walking stick the trainer's life was saved. The Hall county grand jury found true bills against W. N. Dyer, former ordinary and former chairman of the board of roads and revenues; L. F. Duncan and Jerr D. Whelchel, former members of the board, for malpractice in office. Henry Blum, Jr., postmaster at Savannah and republican national committee from Georgia, will, it is stated on reliable information from Washington, D. C., be made third assistant postmaster general under Frank H. Hitchcock, who is to be President Taft's postmaster general. Mr. Blum is aligned with the "regular" republican faction of Georgia politics, and his elevation to the third assistant postmaster generalship would indicate that the "regulars" will, after all, continue to control the situation in Georgia, despite the efforts of the so-called interloper. The office of third assistant postmaster general is now held by Abraham L. Lawshe, and carries a salary of $4,500 per year. The duties of the office are many and responsible. He controls the following divisions: Stamps, finance, classification of mail, redemption, registered mail, money orders, Temporarily deranged, Ben L. Jones one of the wealthiest and probably one of the best known citizens of Macon, committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. He had suffered two weeks or more from an attack of jaundice. During the time melancholy of a marked severity followed the man in all his acts, and friends, as well as members of the family, several times offered suggestions for recreation and a general rest up. No more complete surprise could have ever come to a man's friends. Ben L. Jones was known as a fine business man. He had been the second largest taxpayer in the community for many years. He was a spirited, industrious man for a long number of years. Faith in the community put him headlong into a number of enterprises which he always set going. It was no financial strait that caused his deed, for he knew what property he had, and it was never involved as far as his friends have been able to ascertain. According to advises received at the department of agriculture, Georgia's oat crop, which, this year, will be perhaps the largest in the history of the state, was not destroyed or even extensively damaged by the severe cold recently. Assistant Commissioner R. F. Wright says that no reports of serious damage to the crop come from any section, and a splendid yield is expected. The Georgia Dairy and Live Stock Association, at their convention at Madison elected officers as follows: President, W. L. Williamson of Commerce; vice president, Professor Andrew M. Soule of Athens; secretary, C. F. Hunnicutt of Atlanta, and treasurer, Professor C. L. Willoughby of Experiment. These the same officers of the acceptance, the executive, Editor Hunnicutt, who is well qualified for the work. The time and place of the next meeting was left to the executive committee of the association, offers being received from both Athens and Milledexville. Rural free delivery routes have been ordered established in Georgia, April 1, as follows: Allapaha, Berrien county, route 4, serving sixty families; Auburn, Gwinnett county, route 2, serving ninety-two families; Ayersville, Stephens county, route 1, serving one hundred and eleven families; Bronwood, Terrell county, route 3, one hundred and six families; Devereaux, Hancock county, route 3, one hundred and sixty-three families; Donaldsonville, Decatur county, route 2, one hundred and twenty families; Groveland, Bryan county, route 3, ninety families; Hazlehurst, Jefferson county, route 4, one hundred and six families; Honora, Lincoln county, route 1, one hundred and ten families; Iron City, Decatur county, route 2, ninety-five families; Leaf, White county, route 2, eighty families; Lexington, Oglethorpe county, route 3, one hundred and seven families; Lyons, Toombs county, route 4, one hundred and twelve families; Perry, Houston county, route 3, one hundred and twenty-three families; Thomaston, Upson county, routes 7 and 8, one hundred and forty-eight families. The Richmond Hussars of Augusta will go to Washington to ride in the inaugural parade of President-elect Taft. Governor Smith's permission, which had been taken as a matter of course, has been formally given. It is reported that the fruit crop of the Marshalville neighborhood is injured 25 per cent. This is too high, as no one here estimates the injury over 121-2 per cent. Conservative estimates place it at 10 per cent. This section is good for 500 cars, if no future disaster befalls the crop. State Treasurer R. E. Park in one day recently received $57,299.60 as the proceeds of the state tax upon dealers in near the town of milton counties. Chatham county sent $43,800 of this amount and $7,000 came from Bibb. The rest came from different counties in small sums. But for 40 cents express charges the amount would have been even $57,300. This money goes to the support of the state penitentiary. When the state turns all the convicts over to the counties for work on the public roads, it will have a lot of Remington rites on its hands, for which it will have no use. These guns are used by the convict guards, and since the counties will have to do their own guarding, the state will have no need for them. Secretary Goodloe Yancey, of the prison commission says, the guns will be sold to such counties as wish to buy them at second-hand prices, based on original wholesale cost. This will give the counties both a cheap and serviceable gun. Among the Masons. Last week we called attention to those lodges that have failed to report the names of officers. Several of these lodges responded immediately. Let the others do likewise. The Grand-Secretary has sent to those lodges that owe small balances for Grand Lodge dues of 1908, also those who have failed to pay the 2 assessment for the home repair, a notice about the same. It is hoped that these lodges will respond immediately and not allow the amounts to remain unpaid until the time to render the coming annual report. Next week the Grand Secretary will send out the calls and blanks for the coming Grand Lodge communication. These are sent out a month earlier this year, and it is expected that the lodges will comply with every requirement, especially that of forwarding the report and fees on time. Do not wait, but begin now to prepare. President-elect Taft is to be made a Mason at sight by the Grand Master of Ohio. There is no doubt about him being a worthy candidate, but as Masons we should recognize node on account of their worldly wealth or honors. Mr. Taft should be made to travel the same path as have other candidates for the mysteries. Our relief department continues doing good work in ameliorating somewhat the wants of the loved ones of our departed brethren. We have paid out over $2,500 in this direction within the past year and not a brother has felt the pressure. This shows how much good can be accomplished if we would only have a unty of purpose. And, too, our home, with its orphans should appeal to the charitable side of every Mason. None of us should regret giving the small sum of 50 cents a year for this purpose: Send this money to Brother Spencer at Columbus. All that we ask of the officers of each lodge in the jurisdiction is to do his full duty in a conscientious way. WAS IT YOU? TEACHINGS OF MASONRY. Let us not lose sight of the teachings of Masonry, to believe in God, in His revealed works to mankind, that He punishes vice and reward virtue. That we are bound by illusal love and duty. The love of home and family and those dependent on us is the consideration of right conduct. We must learn to labor and to wait, we must suffer, endure, forgive and forbear. The Mason who has thoroughly masted these truths has the basis of a strong and useful life. George W. Ward The prime duty of every Mason is to be right and to do right. Masonry teaches its subjects to be good men and true. The Masonic neophyte as he ascends, the mystic ladder sees truth everywhere clothed in the beauty of symbolism, and by applying this to his everyday life is enabled to rise to that station beyond which no man can go higher, that of a good man and true. We are patrons of old truths which have stood the test of time. In proportion as we keep these master facts before us do we prove oppresive true Masons. Men are apt to forget in the hurry of life and bustle of business that they have higher and more sacred duties to perform. Any man is cultable* and unworthy the name of Masonry who refuses to lend a hand in the elevation, and blessing of the whole mass of humanity. Whatever may broaden character, refuse motive, quicken conscience and open the hand, to pure and generous deeds, is our principle.—Illinois Freemason. The following from the pen of our worthy Past Master R. L. Newcome, of Bannaker Lodge, Augusta, speaks for itself. Our beloved brother is one of the oldest Masons in Georgia, and no one loves Masonry better than he, and especially in carrying out its principle: Augusta, Ga., January 27, 1909. Mear Dear Tribute: There has just died a few days ago in Brooklyn, N. Y., John R. Barefield, one of the old citizens of Augusta, a man justly respected by everybody. Brother Barefield was one of the pioneers of Masonry in Georgia, one of the founders of Bannaker Lodge No. 3 of Augusta, and one that took a great part in organizing the Grand GROCERIES, WOOD AND COAL 621 Ogiethorpe Avenue, East 618 PHONES Bell 50 Lodge of the state of Georgia, of which the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge is the successor. Brother Barefield was a delegate to the convention that met in the city of Savannah in the fall of 1869 to organize a Grand Lodge for this state, and was the first Junior Grand Warden. He was at the meeting of the Grand-Lodge in Savannah June 24, 1870. Brother Barefield was Worshipful Master of old Bannaker in 1867, 1868 and 1869, again in 1876. The first meeting to organize a lodge in Augusta was held at his residence in April, 1866. At that meeting was the lamented Rev. Robert T. Rent, who was made a Mason in 1853 in the city of Philadelphia, Penn. The application was made to the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania for a dispensation to open a lodge in Augusta, which was granted, and the lodge was organized on June 24, 1866 with Brother James A. Jackson Worshipful Master; Robert T. Rent, S. W.; John R. Barfield, J. W. We had as helpers in the work Brother Louis B. Toomer, Charles L. Delamotta, R. S. Thomas and Rev. Sandford, all of Savannah. There were enough initiated, passed and raised in the two days and nights to start, the lodge to work. The lodge received its warrant on December 27, 1866, as Bannaker Lodge No. 38, and worked under that warrant till June, 1870, when we received our present charter from our own Grand Lodge signed by M. W. G. M. James M. Sims. We are working under that charter at the present time. That warrant was granted to John R. Barefield, James G. Snowden, R. L. Newsome, F. M. Dugas, John M. Johnson, Lindsey Moore, and George Hankerson, Myself and Brother Dugas are the only survivors of the old charter members. Brother Barefield made his home in Augusta up to about five years ago, when he moved to Brooklyn to live with his daughters, where he died two weeks ago, being about 70 years old. He was buried in Brooklyn. Thus do the old landmarks pass awax, but thanks to the Grand Architect, Masonry still lives and gets better and grander every day. Yours fraternally. LABOR WORLD. A project to organize a labor protective league is on foot in Boston, Mass. A New England district council of retail clerks' unions was formed at a convention of thirty-two of the unions. The Government of Hungary has ordered the dissolution of the Union of Railway Workers and the confiscation of their funds. A great victory is recorded in favor of industrial peace in England by the constitution of a conciliation board for iron founders throughout Lancashire. The proposed consolidation of the Central Labor Union and the Federation of Labor, of Brooklyn, N. Y., has the appearance of an accomplished fact. Cleveland (England) ironstone miners have decided unanimously to use every endeavor to obtain a five per cent. advance in wages on the present-existing base rule. John Philip Sousa is to lead the band of 400 men at the annual concert of Boston (Mass.) Musicians' Protective Association, which will be held Sunday, February 14. Minnesota railway men are particularly interested in the proposed semi-monthly payday bill and an employers' liability bill, and the union workingmen the State over are also anxious to secure both. Sixteen locals were represented at a recent meeting to form the proposed metal trades section of the Boston (Mass.) C. L. U. Application was made to the A. F. of L. metal trades department for the local charter. The jurisdictional strife between the Freight Handlers' Union and the Order of Railway Clerks was adjusted by a joint agreement, each union giving away on some points and accepting a compromise on the membership. BRODE NAMED EXPERT. He Successes Perkins in Matter of Cotton Seed Products. Washington, D. C.-Jullen B. Gröbe of Memphis, a graduate of the University of Chicago, has been appointed an expert of the department of commerce and labor to inquire into the matter of cotton seed. He will succeed Albert G. Perkins. Tennessee, resigned. Mr. Brode's work will begin in the south of France, and will extend east as far as St. Petersburg, Russia. NAVAL STORES BILL WITHDRAWN Tallafero Realized His Federal Inspection Measure Was Doomed. Washington, D. C.-Senator Tallafero withdrew his bill providing for federal inspection and grading of naval stores products. Mr. Tallafero is preparing another bill. Savannah interests were the principal opponents of the measures, charging that it was an attempt to build up Jacksonville at the expense of Savannah by diverting Florida's naval stores shipments to Jacksonville. No matter what a woman's husband does, muses the New York Press, she can always find some excuse for it unless it was about another woman. A Warning to Capital of The Misuse of Power The contest that has resulted is generally said to be between capital and labor, but that is too narrow and too special a conception of it. The contest is rather between capital in all its larger accumulations and all other less concentrated, more dispersed, smaller and mere economic forces in the land. This process of segregation is always a symptom of deep discontent. No observant man can longer shut his eyes to the fact that the contesting forces in our modern society have broken its unity and destroyed its organic harmony—not because that was inevitable, but because men have used their power thoughtlessly and selfishly, and because legitimate undertakings have been pushed to illegitimate lengths. The most striking fact about the actual organization of modern society is that the most conspicuous, the most readily wielded and the most formidable power is not the power of government, but the power of capital. We have forgotten what the power of government means, and have found out what the power of capital means, and so we do not fear government and are not jealous of political power. We fear capital and are jealous of its domination. There will be need of many cool heads and much excellent judgment amongst us to curb this new power without throwing ourselves back into the gulf of old (governmental) domination, from which we were the first to find a practical way of escape. Capital now looks to the people like a force and interest apart, with which they must deal as with a master, and not as with a friend. No one can mistake the fact and no one knows better than the manipulators of capital how many circumstances there are to justify that impression. We can never excuse ourselves from the necessity of dealing with facts. I am sure that many bankers must have realized that the most isolated and the most criticised interest of all is banking. The banks are, in the general view and estimation, the especial and exclusive instrumentalities of capital, used on a large scale. They stand remote from the laborer, and the body of the people, and put whatever comes into their coffers at the disposal of the great captains of industry, the great masters of finance, the corporations which are in the way to crush all competitors. I shall not stop to ask how far this view of the banks is true. But they are, in fact, singularly remote from the laborer and the body of the people, from the farmer and from the small trader of our extensive countrysides. I trust you will not think me impertinent if I say that they (the bankers) excuse themselves from knowing a great many things which it would be manifestly to their interests to know, and that they are sometimes singularly ignorant, or at least, singularly indifferent, about what I may call the social and political functions of banking, particularly in a country governed by enlist Make Use of Swamp Land In Most Cases, by a Proper System of Drainage, It May Be Made to Pay. By H. W. Swope. through many big sloughs, that ran through two or three farms and noticed that while one farmer had a fine stand of timothy hay right on the lowest spot his neighbor, whose land wasn't any lower, let it go to weeds. One farmer in particular hauled off two loads of this hay an acre, worth $3 a load, while his neighbor was paying taxes on the same kind of land and didn't get a cent from it. This timothy and clover will not only not a good income; but will increase the fertility of the soil, thus putting it in fine shape for grain growing when the wet season is over. Land worth $50 to $100 an acre is too valuable, to let lie as waste-land, when you can easily get $16 an acre out of it. The trouble in such cases is that such land has always been waste land, and the farmer's attention has never been called to the possibility of reclaiming it easily and cheaply. Sometimes a shallow ditch through the lowest part will carry off most of the water quickly, thereby rendering a portion of the ground suitable for certain crops. Of course, the real remedy is a thorough system of drainage, with tiles running back well to the high grounds. Is Your Hair Beautiful Soft, Silky and Long? Does it comb easily without breaking?

Most of it will be reclaimed some time and made into good, productive farm land, but there are places on almost every farm where different treatment might work beneficially without any special outlay.
