VOL. XXIV. "MOONSHINE"MENBUSY Big Increase in Illicit Distillation of Liquor Reported. PROHIBITION AIDS OUTLAWS In Alabama, the Carolinas, Tennessee and Georgia—Lawbreaking Stills Busier Than Ever Eefore. Washington, D. U.—Officials of the internal revenue and treasury department are of the opinion that the temperance movement, which has taken such a strong hold of certain secuctions of the country, particularly in the south, has resulted in increasing the number of violations of the internal revenue laws in the distillation of illicit whiskey. Recent reports indicate that in many southern states, especially Alabama, Georgia and North Carolina, there has been greater activity on the part of the lawless mountain element, who always have been troublesome to the revenue agents, than in many years. These three states now have laws prohibiting distilleries from operating within their borders. In Alabama the law went into effect on July 1, 1905; in Georgia on January 1, 1905, and in North Carolina, January 1, 1909. Many legitimate distilleries have moved to Florida and other states where the inhibition does not exist. Whiskey being more difficult to obtain in a legitimate way, has greatly increased the profits or illicit distilling, with the result that the activities of the internal revenue bureau at this time is largely directed towards the mountain sections of these three states. In 1908 there were 1,130 illicit stills destroyed; in 1907 there were 1,139, and in 1916 there were 1,376, but the returns for the nine months of the present fiscal year show a decided increase in the number destroyed, the number so far reported this year being 1,017, with the probability that by July 1st, that the number will have been increased approximately 1,300. The section of the south where there is the most activity among the so-called "moonshiners" embraces the Atlanta district, where it is reported 129 stills were seized and destroyed in December last. The Asheville, N. C., district is another section that has to be constantly looked after, as do those of Columbia, S. C., and Louisville, Ky. At Atlanta the collector has 17 deputies; at Asheville 15 and at Columbia 28, most of them constantly employed in raiding work. In addition nearly eight hundred possesmen have been employed from time to time in the last few months, with a number of guildes. SEVEN KILLED: SCORE INJUSED In Storm That Swept Through Five States Memphis, Tenn.-Six persons are known to have been killed by the storm which swept over northern Mississippi, and probably fifteen were injured. The tornado, which covered a wide area, wrought much damage to outhouses and crops. At Aberdeen, Miss., W. C. McMillan, casier or the Bank of Aberdeen, and his son, T. 1. McMillan, were instantly killed in the wreckage of the Illinois Central station, and two negroes also met death. At West Point, Miss., much damage was suffered in the southern part of the town. Several negroes were injured by fling debris, and a report from the Terrell plantation, east of there, states that two or more negroes were killed. Starkville, Miss., four negroes were killed and a number were injured. There was considerable damage to property near this point, a number of residences being blown down and barns and outhouses destroyed. Toledo, Ohio.-Hundreds of men out of work, thousands of dollars' damage and many persons slightly injured are the results of a hurricane that visited Toledo and vicinity. The wind attained a velocity of 69 miles an hour in this city. The roof of the plant of the Massillon Bridge Company, 180 by 400 feet, was ripped off and carried into a field, and 300 employees will be thrown out of employment until the damage can be repaired. Peru, India.-A cyclone struck and destroyed four factories and several school buildings, and wrecked many small structures. Lexington, Ky.—Dispatches say many thousands of dollars' damage was done in western Kentucky by a cyclone which swept over that section. In Calloway county, Isaac Ballance's home was struck by the twister and demolished. Ballance was blown out of the building and instantly killed. His body was found under the ruins of a stable. Ballance was a Confederate veterans sharpshooter during the civil war and was reported to have slain over one hundred men while so engaged. BIG COTTON MILL PROJECTED. Million Dollar Factory May Be Built at Jackson, Ga. Jackson, Ga.—That a million dollar cotton mill, to be the largest in the south, will be built at or near Jackson, now seems certain. It is the plan of those interested to build a mill that will consume from 10 to 15 per cent of the total amount of 20,000 horsepower of the electric power that will be generated at the power plant being built on the Ocmulge river, near Jackson. It is planned to raise about $250,000 in Jackson and Butts county and in this section and get the remainder of the money in Macon and in the North and East. The ASKED TO REPAY $28,000,000. Twenty States Received Money From Jackson's Administration. Washington, D. C. The publication over the country of the, introduction by Representative Murdoch of Kansas of a bill to call upon the twentysix states to repay to the government $28,000,000 which was distributed during Andrew Jackson's administration, was followed immediately with a flood of telegrams to members, senators and newspaper correspondents, for more light on the subject. "I introduced that bill two years ago," said Mr. Murdoch, "and no one paid any attention to it." In 1836 there was a surplus in the federal treasury of $38,000,000, due largely to the sale of public land in the central west. Congress authorized the distribution among the states, on their promising to repay it upon demand of the secretary of the treasury. After $28,000,000 had been distributed but before the fourth installment had been paid, congress passed another law, postponing payment of the final installment. The twenty-six states received the three instalments, in proportion to their representation in congress. The distribution among southern states was as follows: Maryland $556,000, Virginia $12,199,000, North Carolina $1,444,000, South Carolina $1,051,000, Georgia $1,051,000, Alabama $69,000, Louisiana $478,000, Mississippi $382,000, Tennessee $1,434,000, Kentucky $1,434,000, Missouri $382,000, Arkansas $287,000. - ADMIRAL CERVERA DEAD. Was Commander of Spanish Fleet in Battle of Santiago, Cuba. Puerto Real, Spain—Vice Admiral Cervera, who commanded the Spanish fleet in the battle of Santiago, Cuba, is dead here. Admiral Cervera was retired from the active list of the Spanish navy December 14th last, at his own request, on account of failing health. He suffered from an affection of the heart. Admiral Cervera was born on February 18, 1839. On the outbreak of the war with the United States, he sailed from the Cape Verde Islands with four cruisers and three torpedo boat destroyers, in April 1839, entered the harbor of Santiago de Cuba May 19 and lost his entire fleet off that port July 3, in an attempt to force his way through Admiral Sampson's blockading squadron. Washington, D. C.—Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schler, U. S. N., retired, who commanded the United States fleet which captured Admiral Cereva and his fleet outside Santiago harbor during the Spanish-American war and provided one of the most thrilling chapters in modern naval history, appeared deeply touched when told of the Spanish admiral's death. He took occasion to pay a warm tribute to the chivalrous conduct and splendid character of Cervera when the latter was taken prisoner. RADIUM TO CURE CANGER. $5,000 Worth Is Sewed in Woman's Stomach. Paris, France—The scientific world is watching with interest an experiment for the cure of cancer by radium, which, aside from its novelty, promises the most extraordinary results. A speck of radium, valued at $5,000, has been sewn up in the stomach of a woman, a patient at the Pasteur institute in an effort to destroy a cancerous growth. The e is being attempted by Dr. Roux Pasteur's successor. Dr. Roux used a tiny glass tube and a speck of radium no bigger than a pin's head, but worth $5,000, in his operation. He carefully sewed up the wound, kept the patient under observation for forty-eight hours, until the wound began to heal, and now has announced that if in a month no mortification or sign of inflammation is left it will mean that the cancer has disappeared. A feature of the experiment is that in case it is successful the radium can be used time and time again without diminishing its curative qualities. TO INSPECT STATE TROOPS. Government Orders Inspection on Discipline of Guardmen. Washington, D. C.—Arrangements are being made at the war department to carry out the recommendations made at the last meeting of the military board, having in view an additional inspection of the National guard under the military act. At present the militia is inspected to determine whether it is sufficiently armed, uniformed and equipped for active field duty, but the board thought it better that there should be a second series of inspections, with a view to reporting on disciplined instruction. Having in mind the desirability of determining the efficiency of the militia for field service, the most appropriate time for the inspections, the board thought, would be when such a service was in progress. Girl's Joke Almost Fatal. Winchester, Va. — W. F. Shippe, a Frederick county school teacher, was the victim of a joke that came near ending his life. He accepted a drugged apple from a girl in his school and was poisoned. The girl had drugged the apple with the intention of making the teacher sleepy, but gave him an overdose. To End Kldnaping. Albany, N. W.—The senate passed a bill increasing the penalty for kidnapping to fifty years and another increasing to twenty-five years the maximum penalty of blackmall, extortion and Black Hand practices. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1909. To Béar Market States Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. NO DOG EARED PRODUCT Washington, D. C.—The department of agriculture announces that it can find no substantial basis for the complaint that a lot of low grade cotton is being shipped from the south to New York to be used in bearing the cotton market. It has ceased its inquiries. Through special agents of the department in the cotton growing states the subject was investigated on complaint of B. G. West of Memphis, Penn, an officer of the Farmers' Union. These agents reported that they find no trace of any "general movement" of this kind. Therefore, Victor H. Olmstead, chief of the bureau of statistics of the department of agriculture, recommended that the whole matter be dropped. This course is approved by Secretary Wilson. Secretary Wilson was asked if any effort had been made by his department to ascertain if low grade or dopeed cotton was being held in the warehouses in New York city to depress the cotton market. He replied that there had not; that the efforts of his department had been exerted, through special agents in the cotton states, to find out if any cotton was being shipped. He did not know whether any such cotton was now in New York. The secretary was reminded of the frequent complaints made by cotton farmers that a lot of unspinnable cotton of no commercial value, was kept by traders on the New York cotton exchange and tendered on contracts, the object being to have the man receiving the tender refuse to accept and settle his "future contract" account on a cash basis. In reply, the secretary stated that this opened up a different subject, and was not involved in the complaint of Mr. West and other Farmers' Union officers. FOR A LIBERAL SUNDAY. Prominent New Yorkers Organize to Oppose Blue Laws, New York City.—Men of prominence, including Alfred G. Vanderbilt, August Belmont and others, are identified with the Liberal Sunday League, the governors of which held a meeting here. The league was only recently incorporated with a view to bringing about a more liberal interpretation of the Sunday laws and having Sunday declared a legal holiday in this state. At the meeting of the governors the following platform was adopted: "The members of the league, realizing that the blue laws, founded on the English common laws, have long ceased to be effective, and recognizing that the men and women of the twentieth century have outgrown the passive submission to dictation which seeks to make all follow the path laid down for them by zealots, have organized as a tribune before which the people may lay their ideas, express their preference and record their judgment." OPPOSED TO REGULAR HABITS. "Ridiculous to Say Health Depends on Regular Habits," Says Doctor. Chicago, Ill.—"Don't have regular habits. You are a weakling if you do. Make them irregular, and then you will be ready when an emergency comes." That is the advice given by Dr. Sheldon Leavitt of the Right Living Laboratory. "It is ridiculous to say that health depends on regular habits," he adds. "You ought to be able to go without sleep an entire night and do good work the next day." The reason the city boys were able to endure, hardships of war better than the country lads was because the latter had regular habits, and it broke them up to break them." DEMANDED $35,000. Blackmailer Threatened Life of Asa G. Candler of Atlanta, Ga. Atlanta, Ga.—Given the alternative in a Black Hand letter of either giving up $25,000 or with his household perish by a most awful death, Asa G. Candler, one of Atlanta's wealthiest and most important citizens, laid the map to which the man who planned this dishelical死 was caught red-handed and is now lodged in jail awaiting indictment by the federal and state grand juries. He broke down and confessed immediately upon his capture. He is 'Daniel W. Johnson, Jr.' a member of Mr. Candler's Sunday school class. YEGGNEN DYNAMITE JAIL "Tennessee Dutch" and Goo, Barton Escape from Greenville Prison. Greenville, S. C.-Garber Moore, alias "Tennessee Dutch," and George Barton, alleged yeggmen, who were arrested in Birmingham, Ala., and who were brought here by postoffice inspectors on March 20th on a charge of having committed numerous post office robberies in this state, escaped from the county jail by dynamiting the floor of the cell. They drilled holes in the rock floor of the jail with a drill made of an umbrella handle. It is believed they had outside help. Indications are that the drilling was done from a cellar under the prisoner's cell. ROOSEVELT IN ITALY. Visited the Earthquake Region, Met the King and Departed for Africa. Messina, Italy. — Theodore Roosevelt and King Victor Emmanuel met on the Italian battlefield Re Umberto in Messina harbor. The meeting was marked by the utmost cordiality, and the king took occasion to express the gratitude of himself and the Italian people for the generous assistance of the American people to the earthquake sufferers. At the close of the interview Mr. Roosevelt went ashore and inspected the ruins of the city, the desolation of which moved him very strongly. He then boarded the steamer Admiral which, just at sunset, hoisted her anchors and proceeded on her way to Mombasa. The king greeted the ex-president carefully, shaking him warmly by the hand. He did not whip him, said, to allow the opportunity to pass of making the personal acquaintance of so distinguished a man. Above all, he wanted personally to thank the expresident for the help extended by America at the time of the earthquake. "You are now able," he added, "to understand better what a terrible disaster it was." Mr. Roosevelt replied, thanking the sovereign for the compliment paid him in inviting him to come aboard the Re Umberto. He said that the American people did not wish thanks for what they had done, as they had merely tried to do their duty, and knew no better way to confront the immense needs than by their work and contributions. After more than half an hour's conversation the king accompanied his guest ashore, where a photograph was made of a group consisting of his majesty, the ex-president, Kermit and Ambassador Griscom, all. At the request of the king, Mr. Roosevelt supped a picture of his majesty, Admiral Mirabello, Kermit and Ambassador Griscom, amid much laughter. Before leaving, the king saluted Mr. Roosevelt, wishing him a happy and successful trip and much good luck in the way of hunting. Mr. Roosevelt was charmed with the courtesy of the king and declared that it was the most interesting half hour he had spent since he left the United States. The crowds followed the American party wherever it went, cheering frequently and shouting "Viva America! Vick Roosevelt!" Mr. Roosevelt was visibly touched and lifted his hat repeatedly, stopping sometimes to shake hands with the children. He left an impression on the people which can never be forgotten, of a strong man whose deepest sympathies have gone out to them. PURCHASED PRESS A MENAGE. Dr. Hamilton Holt Inveighs Against Subsidized Newspapers. Kansas City, Mo.-Dr. Hamilton Holt, editor of the New York Independent and a member of The Hague peace conference, in a lecture here, declared that the great danger to this country lay in the "purchased" press. "Papers in the employ of special interests—how can they be of service to the people?" said Dr. Holt. "It is impossible. It is just as important for a paper to have character and integrity as an individual. The indeendent paper that represents the paper that counts confidence. The successful newspapers are losing their allegiance to the political parties, and that is the greatest and best thing that can be done to strengthen our country and our nation." STOCKINGS NOT TO BE ADVANCED. Hosiery Association Denies Women Will Have to Pay More. Chicago, Ill.—Following a conference here of representatives of the National Association of Hosiery and Underwear Manufacturers of America, which includes five hundred companies, a statement has been issued saying that "talk of higher prices for imported hosiery is not based on fact. The increase in tariff tax has been slight, and the women of the United States will not, have to pay one cent more for their stockings than they do now. Imported hosiery that costs 25 cents per pair now will continue to sell at 25 cents." 500,000 names, are on the anti-tariff petition. NEWSY PARAGRAPHS. The new Queensboro bridge, connecting New York city with Long Island city, has been officially opened. Mayor McClellan was the first to cross. This bridge is one of the greatest cantilevers in the world and cost $20,000,000. A daring mail pouch robbery, in which the alleged thief got probably more than $50,000 in currency and checks, was revealed at Georgetown, Ky., when the iron and charred leather of two pouches was found by a boy near the crane from which they had been taken. Checks to the amount of $38,000, addressed to A. L. Ferguson, president of the Burley Tobacco-Society's board of control, are said to be among the stolen property. Uncanny noises on a street car in Chicago threw the passengers into a state of uneasiness. Some believed that "spooks" were aboard. The names of streets were called out in epulchral tones from some invisible source. The conductor stood at his post on the rear platform and did not open the door. The passengers looked around uneasily and fidgeted. An elderly woman being invited to "step lively" became panic-stricken. The trouble was caused by a megaphone with which the company is experimenting. The conductor is enabled to make his announcements without leaving the platform. If the experiment proves successful it will be installed on all the cars. NEW DESIGNS PLANNED American Money Will Be Uniform in Appearance. PORTRAITS WILL BE USED One Dollar Note Will Carry Likeness of Washington, Two Dollar That of Lincoln; Ten Dollar, Cleveland. Washington, D. C. - Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Coolidge has approved an plan for systematizing designs for United States coin certificates; thus carrying into effect a scheme of uniformity in portrait and general design for notes of the same denomination of each class. The plan will embody the ideas of the treasury department, bankers, business men and treasury experts. It is expected the new notes when put in circulation will be welcomed by the public on account of their simplicity and readiness with which each denomination may be fixed in mind. At present there are 19 different designs for United States notes and coin certificates of various denomination, leading to confusion and uncertainty. Under the new plan there will be but nine and the possibility of confusion will be reduced to a minimum while the artistic quality of the notes will be greatly enhanced. Under the plan adopted, all classes of notes of each denomination will carry the same portrait and no portrait will appear on the notes of more than one denomination, nor will any portrait be used which will not be immediately recognizable by every person who handles money. The one dollar silver certificate will carry the portrait of Washington; the two dollar note whether silver certificate or greenback will carry the portrait of Lincoln; the ten dollar gold and silver certificate and United States that of Cleveland; the twenty dollar that of Jackson; the fifty dollar that of Grant; the one hundred dollar that of Franklin; the five hundred dollar that of Salmon P. Chase; the one thousand dollar that of Alexander Hamilton. GENERAL EVANS APPOINTS STAFF. Brigadier General D. R. Gurley, Waco, Texas, assistant adjutant general. Brigadier General H. W.

TO DISSOLVE STANDARD OIL Government Files Suit in United States Court at St. Louis. St. Louis, Mo.-Special Assistant to the United States Attorney General Frank B. Kellogg filed his brief of 1,400 pages with the clerk of the United States circuit court of this city and commenced his argument after two years of evidence taking in the government's suit to dissolve the Standard Oil corporation of New Jersey for alleged violation of the Sherman act. CAROLINA WINS DISPENSARY CASE. United States Supreme Court Reverses Lower Court. Washington, D. C.—The famous South Carolina dispensary case involving the disposition of about $900; 000 of dispensary funds held by the state dispensary commission, was decided by the United States supreme court in favor of the commission. The case was instituted by the Wilson Distilling Company and the Fleischmann Company in the United States circuit court for the District of South Carolina to collect debts contracted by the state in the purchase of liquor in the state from 1892 to 1907 while the dispensary system was in vogue. LATE NEWS NOTES. General. Charged with taking the bottom out of a well, the Lehigh Valley Coal company was made defendant in a suit for $50,000 damages. The case was brought by a Brewing company, which alleges that on the farm which its brewery stands at Hazleton, Pa., there was a fine artesian well, but that the company mined through the bottom of it. The Pittsburg, Pa., courts have refused to grant a liquor license to the Fulton Cafe of Pittsburg owned by Henry C. Phipps, who lives in London and New York, but has most of his property in Pittsburg. Mr. Phipps is angry, and, according to information received here today, will withdraw his interests from this city. The refusal cuts Mr. Phipps out of a rental of $25,000 a year. Basing the estimate on the new city directory just issued. The population of Battimore is now 691,128, an increase of 11,491 over last year. Two small girls, who were-standing beneath the Brooklyn bridge in New York City, narrowly escaped serious injury when a large body came hurling through the air and struck the sidewalk almost at their feet. They screamed and when a crowd collected it was seen that the body was not that of a man nor a woman, but a big St. Bernard dog, which had jumped from the bridge to its death. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Pack, who live in Polk county, North Carolina, are rejoicing over the birth of triplets—three bouncing boys—the arrival of whom has created a deal of interest in the surrounding country. The day after the arrival of the boys there were no less than sixty-five visitors at the home of the Packs, many of whom were ladies. The mother requested them to select names for her sons. One was named William, the second Jennings and the third Bryan. These names were selected for the reason that Polk county went democratic in the last election for the first time in many years. Washington. President Diaz of Mexico although he stated a year ago that he would never again be a candidate, has decided to make the race for president. He says he is willing to sacrifice personal desires to serve his country. A new "Old Glory" is proposed in a bill recently introduced by Representative Anserbq of Ohio to amend the section of the revised statutes, which relates to the design of the American flag. A new formation of the stars is suggested. They would be arranged in five arcs to be the apices of a regular pentagon, the radius of the arcs to be equal to one side of the pentagon. As to the size of the stars the bill prescribes that their radius shall be equal to "one-fourth the distance of the stars from center to center." Provision for adding new stars for new states might be made by extending the arcs. News received from the Springfield arsenal is that President Roosevelt was furnished with two rifles which carry electric lights on either side of the sight, the electricity being provided by a battery under the stock Army officers do not profess to know much about the guns, but it is stated the best place for a test of night shooting would be darkest Africa, where the president is going, and where he may have to protect himself from night raids by lions. If the rifles can do what they are expected to do, and it is admitted they will be effective only against big objects, many more of them will be manufactured for the army. A toy horse, worth perhaps $1, imported to the country, will be taxed $30, just the same as a lying thoroughbred racer, if the Payne tariff bill becomes a law. Doll's clothing and ornaments will be taxed at the same rate as those of women. Experts in the foreign buying department of a local store say that toy animals, retailing at present for a few cents, will become as expensive to import into this country as the living animals which they represent in miniature. Accusing the large department stores of having instigated the opposition of many women and "hysterical men" against the increased duties provided by the Payne tariff bill on women's gloves and hostery, Representative Sereno Payne, chairman of the house ways and means committee, in a statement which will be printed in the Congressional Record, asserted that the importers who oppose the duties were interested in arms abroad which make gloves and hostery. At the urgent request of the state department at Washington, communicated to the London foreign office, the British government has decided not to permit Cipriano Castro, former president of Venezuela, to land at Trinidad. Charley Taft, youngest son of the president, is organizing a baseball team, of which he is by common consent the captain. Each afternoon, be the weather good, bad or indifferent, Charley, with a half-dozen or more playmates, makes life interesting for the guardians of the white house grounds. For them life has lost none of its strenuousness since the departure of the Rosevelts. The impressible Archie never "had anything" on Charley. The navy is completing at the torpedo station a turbine torpedo, which will be ready for tests in Narragan-sett bay; some time during the summer. It is believed the torpedo will prove a valuable acquisition to the torpedo branch of the navy. L B WILLIAMS, President. The unassigned Treasures to how received from of Dame.

Clubbed with The Atlanta Constitution, we have the superb FREE OFFERS shown from which you may make your choice of one: (1) Talks From Farmers to Farmers, a symposium of Southern farm knowledge that should be in the hands of every practical farmer, young or old. The articles have all appeared in Tri-Weekly Constitution under same title and made one of the greatest features of this splendid farmers' paper. It will be mailed to you immediately upon receipt of order. (2) The Southern Ruralist, one of the best agricultural papers in the south. It is a semi-monthly edited by a farmer on his own farm, and is intensely practical and helpful. (3) Paris Modes, a woman's magazine, monthly. There are fashions in it, as the title indicates, and they are right up to date. Do not think they are all of the sylph-like, chipless, clothes-pin styles of the extreme devotees of the changeable flirt called "Fashion." They are all pretty and becoming and up to date, so that the ladies may feel well-dressed and in the style who follow them. But you get more than mere fashions. There are stories, poems, storyettes, incidents of travel, seasonable articles for entertainments, home keeping, cookery, care of the person, sanitation and hygiene, plant culture and all the rest that go to make up a monthly feast for the busy woman who reads as she works, who relaxes from one task and finds charm in the ever-varying features of woman's work that is said to be never done.

This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has complied with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business. That we pay our claims promptly can be testified to by the thousands of our satisfied members. P. B. RAY. DRY AND STEAM CLEANING. LADIES' WORK A SPECIALTY. HATS CLEANED AND REBLOCKED BELL PHONE 2050.

This means thousands of dollars out of the pockets of our people. + Epucare heart, head and hand, is being agitated by the knowing ones, and undoubtedly this will be of untold bencfit to our young people. In fact the mass of them should have a practical industrial ‘education. Re a eee eae Blind optimism, like “blind un- belief? will surely err, and will render the possessor therecf, ulti- mately as silly in his own estimate as in theestimate of others. Op- timism, however, is much more frequently, a blessing than a bane. It only becomes baneful when it Jeads the possessor thereof beyond _ the pale of a rational consideration ‘and this is not unfrequently the case. Now it has beea the pleasure of some of our brethren to attempt to reason a pleasing interpretation out of the declaration or assertions - of Mr. ‘Taft in his Atlanta Possum Dinner speech, when it is plain to all, or.should be, that his words are unequiyocal and positive. The declaration wa the product of in- vestigations of the situation as seen by him and is: presented by those whose pleasure and profit it was to exchange thought. It can- not, therefore, be reasonably con- jectured, surmised or conceived thatthe view point of the presi- dent-elect was différent to that of those for whose special benefit the enunciation was made. Itis char- _ acteristic of the Negro to be orer just in his opinion of expressions of pubiic speakers and I would not dare to- condemn this trait that. is pee his own. For it has rought him out of many a strait and has kept much misery and suf- fering from him. I once saw a large and fierce looking canine pounce upon a lean and lanky cur. ‘The cur fell flat upon his back and his only resentment was. to keep the big dog from getting to his throat. ‘The big dog, secing tho situation as it really was and de- ciding that he was master of same, ho ceased his bellicose tactics ‘and with a visible feeling of pride and superiority, trotted off. The other dog remained in the same position until his adversary was lost to sight. ‘Then he got up, shook Aimself and after smelling thespot from which he had risen,— ghabit of the beast—he trotted away, at intervals loolsing to each siue of himself, behind and before. The latter case illusttates the disposition of the average Negro towards his white brother relative to hi§ public declaration. He looks, generally, fo the easiest way out from under the showers of invect- ives and vituperation of the whites. But is this the patt of wisdom? Should we not be brave enough to acknowledge that we are licked when we aré? Jf 2 white man land squarely to the “Solaplexus? reg- jon of our anatomy, should we, swooning, declare, “*he didn’t tech me?” Such a method may be safe, » butcan it be reckoned'as sane? No! And the truth of it is that it matters not how rich or how poor, how white or how black, how high or how low 2 man may be, man- hood will recogni. manhood if it be shown in an hero ‘way without undue pomp and parade. And, even though suffering may.came to the individual that dares, the suffering will bring its reward, in time, te * the race. . “A warrior’s heart is proned feel, 2 « For warrior worthy of his steel” says Sir Walter Scott, and there is truth in the declaration. We should never fail to manifest dissatisfaction in a reasonable anc seasonable way, when the thrust is aimed at us asa race. We should rationally assert our rights as citi. zens and contend for the adminis. tration of justice whether as a re sult, justice is forthcoming or not. This method will not jeopardise the possibility of it attainment / nor reduce our estimate in the national life.

On Saturday night iast, death re~ moved from our midst, Mrs. Liz- zie Hopkins. She was sick only for a couple of hours, her demise being caused by an attact of acute indigestion. Enjoying; apparent- ly the best of health, her sudden and unexpected end was quite a shock and- surprise to her many friends. For ten or more years, Mrs. Hopkins has lived in this city, coming from Americus, Ga., the place of.her nativity. She has ever lived a consistent Christian life; was a loving and dutiful mother, and a friend lovingly dis- posed to the needy who feund their way te her door. Hers also was a life of sunshine, service, and helpfulness, as is eagerly attested by her neighbors, the old and young, and by the large host of admiring friends shich it was her pleasure to hare. She always had a pleasant word or a radiant smile for every one who camein contact with her; and. it was, indeed, a pleasure to know her. At the time of her death, she was about fifty-seven years of age. And yet, it might well be said that she was fifty-seven years young. She was a regular and faithful member of the First Tabernacle Church of this city of which Rev. Carswell is pastor. He conducted the funeral exercises over the re- ‘mains prior tothe departure éor Americus, where they tere taken for interment. She was buried on Monday afternoon from the Be- thesda Baptist Church of that city, Rey. B. M. Nabrit officiating. The services were largely attendnd by many relatives and a host of friends, Mr. Richard Wright, Jr., accom- panied the family and funeral party from this city, and Mr. Jake pmith of Cuthbert, a nephew, also attend. ed. Mrs. Hopkins is survived by ‘three children, Mrs. Laura Sir. quefield of Shellman, Ga., and Messrs. T. J. and J. H.

The Arzoiia Plant Was Proved Ef- fective in Germany. According to Consul-General Rich- ard Guenther, of Frankfort, the de- partment of the colonies at Berlin is investigating the arzolla water plant at Biebrich, contemplating’ the introduction of this plant In the Ger- man colonies in Africa, in order to eradicate the mosquito. The director of fisheries at Bieb- rich, Mr, Bartmann, hes, after exper- iments covering a period of fcurteen years, found that the mest reliable means against mosquitoes in stag- nant waters is the growing of the va- rious kinds of semi-tropical plant ar- zolla. His numerous and always suc- cessful, etperiments induced the di- rector of the imperial cclonial office te call him to Bertin in the spring of 1907, and the colonial office ordered that the test of his method should be made by the Institute for Tropical Hygieze at Hamburg, where Director Bartmann had the use of the State Botanical Institute for propagating the arzolla plants. 5 ‘As, however, Wilhelmshaven pos- sesses a malaria station, and as es- pecially in its vicinity hundreds of cases of malaria occurred, the experi- ments were made in that territory, which fs full of stagnant waters und swamps infested with mosduitses. While the proximity of the sea and the abnormally coo] temperature 6f the summer of 1907 had.an unfayor- able influence. upon the growth of the plant, it, however, covered the experimental waters in a short time with a layer of abcut six centimetres (2.362 inches), which suffocated all the mosquito larvae below, and pre- vented the living insects from depos- iting their eggs in the water. Gold Carpet of the Mint. A small carpet in the San Francis- co Mint is worth more than its weight in gold and is soon to be burned in order that the precious metal filings that have been sprinkling it for sev- eral years may be recovered. “The carpet is in the adjusting room, where files are used to trim surplus gold from coins after they are stamped. It frequently happens that a piece of overweight falls to the floor and be- comes imbedded in the grain of the carpet, and it is nothing unusual for the Government to get $5000 worth of gold dust out of the ashes result- ing from the burning of one of the floor coverings, The foor sweepings are treasured with the utmost care, 2s they furnish enough money to pay the salary of the janitor several times over —San Francisco Call. a a eae Oe aa i = ee me geil os % to fe | Bd iP fn S 8 7 Fr LY Bs Fe ® THEGE® BES a2 eg mo 3 i ~ s wens: Sie pale abn A TS OES 2 TT | RE RR ele Bocauge_of those ugly, grizzly, gray hairs.

Do you know what is wrong when paint peels, or cracks, or otherwise necessitates premature re-painting? Well, sometimes it hasn’t been properly applied—the surtace being damp or there being too much tur- pentine or too muchcdrier.

C., Mareh 31, 1909. Today was consummated one of the most important deals that has ever ceeurred in the annals of Southern in- surance. The Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company of Raleigh, N.C., came to the reseue of the policy hoders of the Southern Life Insur- ance Company of Fayetteville, and fusranteed to them that their insur- ance would be protected by the large assets of the Jefferson. It has been known for some time that the Sonth- ern Life would re-insure its policies, several flattering offers were made by large companies throuzhout the coun- try to obtain this business, but the flirectors of the company, looking to the interest of the policy holders, and knowing the strength and standing of the Jefferson, selected it, after mature deliberation. In effecting this re-insurance and protecting the policy holders, the Jefferson ‘Standard Life Insurance is in no way direetly or indirectly .con- nected with any transactién of the Southern Life. The policy holders of the Southern Life Insurance Com- pan§ are to be congratulated upon their good fortune in having their life insurance policies guaranteed by the Jefferson, which is one of the strongest, if not the strongest life insurance company south of the Mason and Dixon Line, and one of the strongest in America. It has a surplus to policy holders of nearly half'a million dol- lars. It is well managed, conserva- tive, and is backed by some of the most prominent financiers in the South. : The officers of the Jefferson are Joseph:G. Brown, president; P. D. Gold, Jr., first vice-president and general manager; Chas. W. Gold, sec- retary and superintendent of agen- cies; Chas. W. Gamwell,- actuary; Ex-Governor Chas. B. Aycock and Judge R. W. Winston were special counsel for the Jefferson in making the transfer of the business. The re- insurance agreement was fully ap. proved. by James R. Young, Insurance Commissioner of North Carolina.

Millions of these thrifty, simple people depend for their well-being and comfort on the constant demand for wines, and for the best and purest, and therefore the most extensive wines. The rich do not compel these people to work; nature compels them "to work. What the rich do is to influence the direction in which they shall work, and to bring within thelr reach all kinds of commodt- tes in exchange for their work. So other things on the same table represent the well-being, the fainily comfort, of shepherds fn the hills, perhaps, of our west, or ‘of Wales or Scotland; or the wealth of fishermen on the rivers of Mdine or along our New England coasts; or down south, in the Gulf, or in the oyster beds at the mouths of our rivers; or, again, the earnings of the hunters along the fringes of the sea marshes, or among the woods and hills, or on the-prairies; vigorous, adventurous men, with a warm love of every changing aspect of natural beauty, who are thus able to lead half-wild lives under the fair dome of heaven, It is just this putting ii motion of a huge army of folk, scattered over widespread regions, carrying out exacting tasks, that makes the cost of an expensive banquet; and the rich man is simply the factor deternilning in which of a score of directions a constant stream of resources shall flow, bringing the power to work, and recompense for work, to a varied army of “good people all over the world. . . ‘The basis of the whole thing is that the richest man in the world can- not spend a penny except by paying some one for something.—flarper’s Weekly. « er ete Ee pear - . +: The Berliner :- Unpleasant Qualities on the Surface, Admirable Ones Below. . . . + + By Robert Haven Schauffler ° HEN I speak of the Berliner I do not mean the highest 7 stratum of Berlin soctety; for the gentleman and the gentle- “ woman are fairly constant types the world over.

The Berliner inclines to milltary standards in ‘appear ance and character, very much as official Berlin does. A smooth, determined chin, a daunting glance, a right noble pose, a rapid stride, are all the mode. An upturned mustache has recently been de rigueur, and one notices with joy that even the bronze mermen on the Heydt bridge possess abe imperial “string-beard.” * . One of the Berliners” most trying characteristics is his superiority. He ‘has known the Jatest joke at least 10 years. Do not try to tell him anything or to strike from him the least spark of enthusiasm, for news is no news Yo him; he was born blase. His eleventh commandment is, “Let not thyself be bluffed,” his life motto, “Nil admirari.” In conversation he instinctively In- terrupts each fresh subject to deliver the last word upon it, and to argue with him is to insult him. There is something cutting in his speech. Per- -haps Voltaire’s Influence on the great Frederick, the critic king, started this Ureadful habit, which seems to gray with indulgence. It is a curlows, coin- seidence that the first performance of Goethe's “Kaust” should have been ‘given In Schloss Monbljou, the home of the Hohenzollern museum, for it ‘Would almost seem as though the Berliners had modelled their daily speech after the caustic, sneering, telling style of the engaging villain in that drama, ‘They Wave little humor, but much wit of the barbed, barracks variety, And thelr target is the universe. - Because their unpleasant qualities are on the surface and thelr admir- able Ones are below, the Berliners do a grave injustice to the rest of Ger- many. Many foreigners go first to the capital, are repelled by the peopie they first meet, and hasten on to France or’ Italy with the idea that all Germans have corrosive tongues and manners of a drill sergeant.

Those whose savings seem to make the venture safe might be put to bed and strapped down if they can’t be made to behave any other way.

Atlanta, Ga—Comptroller General William A. Wright's annual report to ‘the legislature, transmitted through Governd? Smith, contains some in- teresting statemens with reference to financial and other affairs of the state. : ‘That the appropriations of the state should be held down in future until the revenue of the state is Increased from other than present sources; that the laws governing the conduct of Insurance companies should be more stringent and that the laws govern- ing the taxation of, insurance compa- nies in general should be silghtly modified so as to encourage their op- eration in this state, are among the principal recommendatfons made by Comptroller General Wright: Using the same figures embodies by State Treasurer Park In his recent report, the comptroller general shows that the finances of the state are in practically tho same condition they were in this time last year, notwith- standing the loss of $240,000 in reve- nue from the whisky tax. He shows that the state has been able to mect all appropriations up to date, which was made possibly only by thé abnormal increase in the taxable values of the state In 1907 and 1908, as well as an Increase uf revenue from special or occupation taxes and from the collection of $69, 000 through a sult, brought by the comptroller general’s department against the Georgia Rallroad for back taxes on 15,000 shares of Western Railway of Alabama stock. ‘The comptroller general shows that the unparalleled increase in the val- ue of the taxable property of the state can mot be reasonably expected’ to continue and for that reason he urges that appropriations in future be held dowa until other sources of reve- nue are found, As a méatls for increasing the rev- enue he suggests extending the laws taxing occupations and the taxation of inheritance, as !s done in many states. The comptroller general recom mends a thorough revision of the rev- enue system and'declares that the ae- fective ‘and disjofhted machinery for assessing, property for taxation not only encourages ‘but permits much taxable «property of the state escap, ing taxation. He says that some’ method should be adopted whereby the return of invisible persuaal pro erty such as notes, mortgages, stocks, | bonds, ete, should be enforced. | ‘The Instirance laws Should also be revised says General Wright, and that the jurisdiction of the comptrol ler general as insurance commission- er should be extended to all classes of insurance companies for the pro- tection of the policyholders. . The comptroller general shows that in 1908 the total business writfen by all companies In this state amount. ed to $676,452,981.24 and the premiums collected ‘amounted to $14,409,578.16. In view of the enormous amount of business done by them, he suggests that they should be encouraged to op- erate in this state and that just and equitable taxation laws should be en- acted for ‘the reason that in the end the burden of taxation 1s borne by the policyholder. ‘Aw interesting feature of the comp- troller’s report is a tabulated state- ment showing the increase of proper- ty owned’ by negroes in this state from 1880 to the present year.
