The coroner's physician, lean: Ing close to Mr. Pulliam’s ear, asked slowly: ‘Why did you shoot yourself” "There was no reply. He repeated the ceustion. Mr. Pulliam ‘roused <himself confusediv and asked in z ‘dazed manner: “Why!

HIGH RATE ON HOSIERY Both House siea Senate Assent Program for Reduction on Leather and ‘Leather Goods. Washington, D. C.—The house has won its battles for free hides and oil, and increased rates on gloves and hosiery, in return for a surrender to the senate on lumber, coal, fron ore and print paper. The rates on these schedules, as. they have been tentatlyely arranged, pending the acceptance by both hous- es of the program for a reduction in the duties on manufactures of leather below the rates fixed by the house, are as follows: Oil, free. Hides, free. Coal, 45 cents a ton. Print paper, $3.50 a ton. Iron ore, 13 cents:a ton. + Lumber, rough, $1.50 a thousand feet; oneside finished, $2; two sides finished, $2.25; three sides finished, which may include fenguine and grooving, $2.62 12; fou sides’ Snish- ed, $3. Gloves, $4 per dozen pairs, not ex: ceeding 14 inches in length, ‘which is tho standard length; exceeding 14 inches, 35 cents per’ dozen is added for each inch. This rate does not ap- ply to the Schmaschen, or cheap glove, on which the senate rate of $1.25 per dozen pairs js retained. The latter rate {s a reduction from the Dingley rates, but “the house rates accepted on the higher grades of gloves represent heavy increases over existing duties. : Hosiery valued at $1 or less per dozen pairs, 70 cents, against the sen: ate and existing rates of 50 cents. Qn values up to §2 the rate is slightly im excess of existing duties, and a shading below the rates fixed by the house. On the highest grades the senate and house rates were identi cal. For nearly a week the question of putting hides on the free list or im posing a nominal duty upon thém has been before the conference commit tee. Not even a nominal duty proved acceptable to Representative Payne whose position was strengthened by the support of President Taft, anc the senate was compelled to yield, ir spite of the fact that free bide: threatened to ‘provoke an insurrectior among “stand pat” senators from cat Ue raising states. It appears, how sever, that Mr. Payne's victory was 2 costly one, inasmuch as the house conferees were defeated on coal, prin paper, fron ore and lumber. Although new oaths . of secrecy) were taken by every member of the conference committee before the ses sion was adjourned, It is well knowr that the foregoing rates represent ,the understanding that has been reachec on all the subjects which engagec the active attention during the las few weeks.

C.—The extra ses- sion of the sixty-first_ congress, which met March 15 in response to the proclamation of President Taft to revise the tarltf, will have cost the people of the United States more than half a millfon dollars by the time it adjourns. Two ltems alone of the cost are specified in the legislative appropriation bill as follows: |, Mileage for the house and senate, $201,000; stationery, $59,500. The other items of expense cannot be accurately figured, but It is not an exaggeration to say ‘that the cost of printing the Congressional Record, the testimony taken before ways and means committee, the estimates and data prepared for the ways and means committee, to say nothing of the pub- Me and private bills and reports, will foot up something Hke $200,007 and the expense for extra help and’ mes- senger service will reach close to $100,000. ‘This is the crucial week of the tar- im bill, which has now been in confer ence since July 9, and indications are that It will be at least a week before the bill will be sent to the president for his approval.

"Keep the farm crops on the farm and ship the meat and the butter and the milk and the cheese." Is the common-sence advice of Secretary Wilson. This insures soil fertility. Every ton of corn shipped to market loses the farm 33 pounds of nitrogen, 12 pounds of phosphoric acid and 7 pounds of potash. Figure this out on the basis of the printed analyses on the fertilizer bags and see how much the farm loses with each corn sale. If fed, 80 to 90 per cent. of these constituents go into the manure. By the way, Uncle Jim says to be sure and haul out and spread your manure as fast as made.

Waiting For Farquar. By CHARLES T. WHITE "What! A night like this?" The voice was bluff and good natured, but the words, and the way they were spoken, seemed to reflect the least bit, upon the good judgment of the younger lad opposite. "Why, man, there hasn't been an hour in the last three days that a sensible skipper would think of putting out in, least-ways with a loaded boat. This winds up the season, my thinking." "I told Farquar I'd be on the watch for him," the other said. "Taln' noways likely he'll come now—that's a fact." His purpose faltered a little, with his own rising doubts, and the brilliantly lighted hall uptown looked wonderfully attractive to his fancy's eye. I guess I'd better hold on down here, though. It wouldn't be any joke to lie outside all night such weather as this, and, besides, I've promised." "Just as you like, of course," the young man replied carelessly. "Hope you'll get your job." The light laugh expressed indulgence with childish whim. "I shall have to be moving on—Sjongt!" David Ellison found himself standing alone on the slippery pier, watching his companion's retreating figure. There Swainy anything there in the situation so far as the could see and Brad Wallock's paring words and incredulous laugh had left him feeling vaguely discontented and uncomforted. Why should a fellow be everlastingly tied up to his work, especially when there wasn't any work in sight, as Brandon had said, nor even a prospect of there being any? A sudden veering of the wind drove a dash of wet snow in David's faces and he brushed it away with an impatient gesture, milling his cap lower over his foreheads. Of course there wasn't a light schooner on the lake to night, and wouldn't be for months, perish. David Ellison had been in charge of the dinky, little tug, Josephine, ever since his father's death, some eighteen months before. The legal formalities were easily complied with for David knew the port and the that as a bright pupil in the day school knows his spelling book, and old Peter McHarg stayed by the engine. David was looking longingly through plate glass windows at young men perched on high stools, or bent over desks in counting rooms, or darting about alertly behind screens of steel network in banks and offices. That was a kind of life David dreamed of while the puffing, busy little tug towed numberless small craft inside the stone piers at Luray. Luray wasn't much of it with the larger lake ports, but a good deal of lumber was shipped in there from the numerous landings which formed a semi-circle around the lower end of the lake. Luray was pretty near the centre of the curve, and had a railway terminus. Most of the lumber came down in small schooners, and this made business for tugs like the Josephite. One couldn't trust the wind inside the stone piers. There wasn't a better pilot on the lake than John Ellison in his lifetime, but the Josephine had a paying patronage when David took up the work. That was why he did it. It would never do to take chances on a new venture when there was a widowed mother to be looked after, and Danny half through his high school course, and Mary needed at home while mother was in such poor health. David dreamed, but his dreams didn't interfere with his faithful management of the Josephine, and the men who had known John Ellison said David was a "chip of the old block." David took that as a compliment, and held his patronage by doing his best. The season was practically over now. Winter was in the air and in the sulen, heaving swells of the lake. Most of the cargoes were in, and prudent skippers realized that there might be a sudden change of weather almost any time, after the schooners' keels went trapping their way through the first scum of thin ice. "Jud Farquar was not prudent. It was the last thing of which his best friend or his bitterest enemy would think of accusing him. He had a sturdy, rugged will of his own, which hurled defence in the face of winter winds, if they happened to come too eagerly to suit his rather, leisure's, movements. After the last, boat had unloaded, and put about, after the last car had rattled away to the main line, freighted with odorous reminders of the Michigan forests, the Andalusia, snub-nosed 'and' stanch, with her rigging ice-coated, like the rigging of an Arctic whidler: might be expected to appear at any moment. Once, may years before — skippers still languaged, at the memory, between whiffs of their black pipes, the Andalusia had "frozen in," despite "Jud" Farquar's boasts, and he had stumped the whole fifty.miles' back to his lumber camps and mills' on foot, sturdily refusing the aid of steam gars and wagons'. It was Farquar, or rather the chance of his late coming, which had kept the Josephine at the pier these last two days, her fires banked, and McHarg within easy hailing distance. The fine weather had "broke for good," wiseacres declared, squinting up at the leaden sky, and burying their chins it' coat collars or murffens against the chilly southwest wind, which carried with it an occasional "spit" of cold rain or a flurry of snowflakes. Still it would be like Farquar to put.out with the Andalusia in such bitter weather. David weft down into the tiny cabin and lighted a lamp, as soon as he had watched Brand Tatlock out of sight. He told himself that he would brush his hair, put on his best suit, and follow his whilom companion to Mechanics' Hall, where the entertainment was to be held. He made no movement to carry out this threat, however, for, though David was decidedly "out of sorts," he had not, at heart, proceeded from the position taken, when he refused Brand's invitation. The entertainment would be a pleasant break in the monotony, and he felt a little sore at being "tied up," but there wasn't a doubt that the Josephine was the place for him, until he heard definitely from Farquar. That might be early the next morning. It certainly couldn't be later than the next afternoon, when Farquar was holding his promise to watch out for the Andalusia. Farquar must know that "watching out" was anything but agreeable business in this kind of weather. Most fellows wouldn't wait a minute beyond a reasonable time. David assured himself, letting his discontent make him momentarily boastful. Hadn't Brand Tatlock laughed at the idea? And Brand had been on-board a Kanawah schooner almost from the day he could handle a rope; a manly, clean, trustworthy fellow he was, too. David perched on the edge of his bunk, and picked up a three-sided-old newspaper, running his eye idly down the columns of the wrinkled sheet. His secret, grumbling, was a mere escape valve for his feelings, evidently, for he showed no signs of leaving his post. It was a folly in which David seldom indulged, but it's what one does, not what one's talks about doing, which really counts. He listened now to McHarg's heavy boots clumping down, the six steps of the companion-way. "Wa-aitin up' for Farquar, eh, la-ad?" the engineer shouted in joy, closely. His Wolch was heavy, like his shoes, and he flattened his vowels after the fashion of a-Cornishman. "He'll harsly put in the noht. The wind's roisin' a-and shittin' a bit fro' the sou-west. It'll be blawin' dead offshore 'fore maernin', I'm thinkin'" "I'll, keep watch till, midnight—or later," David replied, without looking up. McHarg's testing tone netted him. Why must everybody treat his waiting for Farquar in the light of a joke? "There wasn't any joke about it, that was sure." "Look after the fires, and turn in, when ever you 'get ready.'" David divided his time between the snug cabin and the comfortless pler. The former was much more to his liking, but he found himself growing drowsy now and then in the close atmosphere, and, besides, it was necessary to keep an occasional eye out for signals from the offing. For lack of something better to do, he amused himself by smiling at the improbability of seeing any. The wind was blowing a gale now, and the air was thickening with damp snow. If was late, and David must have fallen into a drowse. He came up with a bounds, fashing an alarmed glance at the little naked clock over his bunk's head. It was long past midnight, and he rushed by dock without putting on his heavy jacket. He had the shamed sense of having slept at his post, and it seemed to him, at the instant that. Farquard must be just outside the pliers, sizingling frantically for the closephose: Strangely enough, the fancy and the reality blended almost as soon as his feet struck the wet planks. A dare shot up out of the snow, misted darkness, and David only paused to note the direction of the wind, before he dashed down the companionway, shouting to Jacobs and McMarg. "The wind'll be dead against 'er" in an hour," he warned, "counseling haste. "Start the engine the minute it'll move 'er. If the Andalusia's driven out it's right like this, she's done for. We'll have the wind with us till we come up with 'er." "It's resky. 'laugh.' McHibry growled under his beard. "I look head that Farquar has, to be abraad, the nolght. Who'd ever 'a dramed, ov it." But David was out of hearing. The Josephine was under motion at last, wheeling, sullyly from her moorings. It seemed hours to David, though, fortunately, the fires were well ally, and the start was only a matter of minutes. The bug forged ahead briskly, as she fell in with the wind, her light putting a narrow furrow through the black night. Another flare flamed up and another, as though the Andalusia was growing impatient of her plight, as indeed she was. She seemed to have shifted her position; possibly David surmised drifting before the wind toward the open lake. He had a boyish impulse to plunge through the glass front of the pilot house, and drag the Josephine faster, faster than the grunting engine was carrying her along. He must not be toob late—he, the fellow who had waited for Fararqu these two days, and slept at his post like a land lubber at the last critical moment. David was not too late, but it was a close shave. Once, the Josephine, caught up a huddle of rollers at the stern, threatened to transfix the Andalusia-smidships. Once, the Andalusia darted away like a wild thing, straight for the open water, but the gust lulled to let the tug come up, and heave her cable; then, the stout cable parted, between a mighty puff of wind offshore and the strain of starting the tow, and David held what little breath he had left until a second cable was made fast. It was a hard pull after that, the engine below grunting and snorting and hissing, like a black giant in pain; the Josephine splitting the big rollers into thin spray on her weather bow; and the new cable straining and creaking, as though its first-service might be its last; but it was over in due time, as the hardest things are sure to be, and the few skippers in port, pointed wondering fingers at the Andalusia next morning, as she lay at her moorings, a veritable ice船, coated from stem to stern with the frozen spray, like an old veteran bearing the scars of battle. "So you waited for Farquar, eh?" that eccentric, individual inquired later the same day, when David came on board the Andalusia, by appointment, to collect his fee for the "tow." "Wal., young man, if you hadn't, reckon nobody 'ud a' had the trouble o' waitin' for Farquar any more. I can't what you might call 'eet timid'—the stubby chin wrinkled grotesquely at the suggestion—"but I don't mind ownin' 'at my back hair begun to curl—some little." "Bad night," David admitted ironically. It appeared a small thing, now it was all over. "Yes! I did! hold back a day or two, though I didn't much expect you'd put it after the weather broke. No" — refusing a proffered roll of bills—"just the usual charge. We have to take the bitter with the 'sweet.'" "Jud" Farquar was eyeing the young face before him thoughtfully, as his money disappeared from sight in the depths of David's wallet. He was rather an undersized man, with sharp, restless beauty eyes, and a lip and chin which indexed, his obstinate self-will. "We're short a man down below, he began tentatively, jerking a stubby thumb in the general direction of his last night's adventure," "One, of them big concerns swallowed, lim-up a month ago, slick an clear; like as Jonah did the whale." The remarkable comparison, apparently, gave him courage to make life plunged, to he went on briskly; "Bookkeeper we called Simmons, though, 'i'm not all books. He checked sales, Ir. instance, and put my letters into shape for sendin' Dontte jones you're headed to put librarians' roof with such as job's help, provide it'd man' would make it wuth your while?" "I timid I should like nothing better," Daydav' responded promptly. Weaphn' it almost exactly, what he had dreamed, of ever, since his school days. "I could give it a trial, anyhow, while there isn't much doing on the lake. I can't thank you enough, Mr. Farquar." "Oh, that's nothin'." David's outspoken gratitude appeared to embarrass Mr. Farquar. He chuckled softly to himself a moment, then added: "It jus' struck me that I'd like to try a fellow, onct, who'd larned aforehand show, to wait for Farquar." Christian-Union Herald. SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY New vanadium steel handsaws, which will cut iron pipe, are capable of being rolled into spirals, regaining their original forms without injury when released. Professor "Trevor Kincaid, of the department of zoology, University of Washington, will leave Seattle about April, 1910, for Simferopol, Crimea, Russia, where he will undertake for the United States Bureau of Entomology, site collection and shipment of parasites of the gypsy moth. Although in most of the mines, in Japan the various operations are carried out by the ordinary labor of men and cattle, it seems from a report on the mining industry in Hokkaido that at three coal mines and at one gold and silver mine, electrical machinery is employed. In all, nine "electrical engines" are employed in the coal mines, and one "electrical engine" in a gold and silver mine. The nature of their work is not tated, but it would appear to partake mainly of the transport of ore. Pantilio Garza Garcia is at the head of a company to harness Popocatepel, the great volcano near Mexico City, and furnish all the power for the national capital. He proposes sinking two wells into the side of the volcano until he reaches the boiling point in the earth. Then with nitroglycerine exploded at the bottom he proposes to make an opening between the two. He would then run cold water down one well, and he says steam would come up out of the other. He would harness this to an engine and the job would be done. A standing puzzle is the almost universal tendency of men and women of all races to use the right hand in preference to the left. Examination of skeletons has shown, by the differences of bone development, that this tendency is of very ancient origin. It is often ascribed to the fact that the left hemisphere of the brain—which controls the right side of the body—possesses, in normal persons, a superior development. But those who think that the preference for the right hand is an acquired habit, although one of immensely long standing, suggest that perhaps the left cerebral hemisphere has become better developed as the result of the overuse of the right limbs. At any rate, a society has been founded in London for the cultivation of anmbexigrity, and it will be for the physiologists of the future, to determine whether, education in the use of the left hand can affect the development of the right side of the brain. There are four States where women have the same political rights as men. They are Colorado, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming. The right to vote on some or all school questions is granted to women in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Idaho, Kentucky, Kansas, Michigan, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ohio, Utah, South Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming and Wisconsin. In Great Britain equal suffrage prevails in all matters excepting elections to Parliament. Full suffrage is granted to women in Australia, New Zealand, the Isle of Man, Finland and Norway.

Education By Elliot Kays Stone The inhabitants of the Southern mountains sometimes grind their corn with an automatic miller known as the "Slow John." This contrivance is very simple and crude in form and workmanship, but taking things slowly and easily, and working steadily, it turns but from one to three binshes of meal a day. There are two varieties, the more common one being constructed as follows; A trough is fastened to one end of a stout, stick, and a perpendicular beam to the other. The stick is supported in such a way as to make the beam end remain down of its own weight. But when water is run into the trough end the weight of the water and trough combined makes that heavier than the beam or hammer, which is then lifted high from the mortar in which it rests, and which contains the corn. As the trough descends, the water runs out, and then the weight of the hammer again brings it down into the mortar. with great violence. This is repeated day and night until the corn is ground, when the meal is taken out and fresh corn put in its place. Another variety of "Slow John" is operated by a water-wheel. It can readily be seen that such an automatic mill and miller is of great value to a community where every man is needed in the field. Its cost is practically nothing. After the few hours or days spent in its construction, no attention need be paid to it beyond giving it something to do. I have never seen one of these machines save in a limited district in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky. That they exist there testifies, I think, to the originality of those secluded people, who have lived for so many generations in their own way, 'undisturbed' by the shrill whistle of advancing civilization: Youth's Companion.

Prominent white and colored men will discuss the various phases of education and the Negro problem in the south. The program will appear in full later- Dr. L. A. Townley, pastor, and Rev. Richard D. Stinson, vice president and financial commissioner are arranging the program. The Destiny That Shapes. "There is a destiny that shapes our end, Roughhew it as we will," and following down the wake of the ages, come the echoes of the voices of those who sleep, in soft but audible tones, "Right is right since God is God and right will win the day." Justice, hampered by inordinate passion and pride, may be tardy in its executions, but being restrained, it will generate greater force, and, with its ponderous weight, will bear down upon error with a mightier power. Of the ultimate triumph of right there is no ground for cavil nor doubt, for it is written, "Mark the perfect man and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace," and no one will deny that an "end of peace," is the triumph of right. The ghost of falsehood, clad in the garb of fact, often deludes men into the dives of failure, and having drenched and drunken them with beverages which dull their wits and rob them of their reason, lead them to a mirror to behold themselves. Forceced thus "to see themselves as others see them," they, for the time being, realize that they are but incubu upon the public conscience—nauseous sores upon the body politic. This however, is a picture of the wisest of the dupes. The less rational, more deeply effected by the seductive beverage—tincture of passion and pride, would go on, like the "brimming river," forever if not destroyed by a force greater than themselves. Fortunately for the hosts that, from intimidation, have continuously pumped into their gluttenous carcasses the sustenance of life without equal returns for their labor, they must meet this force. And they must meet it with dexterity of thought and unassailable reason from cause to effect. In the meantime destiny is placing the stakes which mark the finish and destiny never errs. Veneering and polish do not blunt its scrutiny, nor deface the tablet upon which its judgment is inscribed. Weatherbeaten but unworn its judgment stands exempt from mutability or decay, a stern and forceful edict from which there is no escape. Berean Association. Berean Association. The tenth annual session of the Berean Baptist Association met with the Abercorn Baptist Church, near Exley, Ga., July 22nd, to 25th. The delegates have returned bringing the pleasing information that Rev. D. D., Mills, and his members know how to entertain delegates and exceeded their expectation. The church is situated in a pretty grove near the river and presents a pleasing appearance as it is approached. This session was considered one of the most successful since the organization. Its officers are Revs. Wm, Gray, Moderator; J. H. May, Vice President; Rev. I. J. Yancy, Secy. Rev. D. Mills, Treasurer. A Woman's Auxiliary was organized at Wayeross, Ga., last year. The reports coming from the Mission Clubs this year have clearly shown that much good will be the result. Mrs. C. Grant of Abercorn Church and Mr. Willis Reddy extended welcome greetings to the delegates. They were filled with expressions of pleasure at having the Association in their midst. Mrs. M. E. May of Second Baptist Church and Rev. Blair of Bethlehem Church responded and assured the members of Abercorn Church that they came prepared to partake of their hospitality in the same spirit in which it was extended. The committee appointed to serve the meals To Tax Secret Orders and Requiring Them to Give Bond from $5,000 to $20,000—Dr. Butler's Able Letter, and Comment on the Thomasville Grand Lodge. Last year Mr. McMichael of Marion county, introduced a bill aiming at the destruction of the colored secret orders. Through the efforts of Dr. H. R. Butler, Grand Master of Masons and others, this iniquitious bill was not passed. This same gentleman has renewed his bill. While he has made no exception in the bill as to races, yet it is fully understood that its aim is distinctly towards the Negro. No step is being left unturned in defeating this uncalled for bill. Following is the bill in full: A BILL To be entitled an act to require all secret orders, or societies in Georgia doing business behind closed doors, or with sentinels on watch, to be bounded and licensed by the Board of County Commissioners or the Ordinary and for other purposes. Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Georgia, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, that from and after the first day of November, 1909, it shall be unlawful for any secret order or society in Georgia, which holds its meetings behind closed doors, or with sentinels on guard, and into which any citizen not a member of such society or order may not freely enter, to meet for any purpose whatever unless a bond has been given and a license procured as provided in section 2 of this act. Section 2. Be it further enacted, that it shall be the duty of all secret orders and societies in Georgia as described in section 1 of this Act, to give a bond to the Board of Commissioners of Roads and Revenues, or to the Ordinary where there are no Commissioners, in the sum of not less than $5,000.00 (Five Thousand Dollars) nor more than Twenty Thousand ($20,000.00) Dollars, the amount to be determined by the Commissioners or Ordinary, as the case may be, and the bond approved by them; said bond to be made by resident citizens of the county in which the secret order is located, and conditioned upon keeping the peace, respecting the laws of the State of Georgia, and preserving of friendly ties. A good bond among men. A good bond among women. A sufficient bond has been made said bond to be a license to said society, it shall be the duty of the officer receiving the bond to issue a license to said secret order or society, for which a fee of One ($1.00) Dollar shall be paid, and said license shall continue in force for one year. Provided further, that secret societies or fraternities located at College composed of College students shall be exempt from the terms of this act; also those individual Lodges which 'has among its members any legal descendants of Revolutionary, Mexican or Civil War sires shall be exempt. Section 3. Be it further enacted, that if any person, or persons, are found attending any secret order, lodge or society, which has not given bond and received a license for transacting business, they shall be guilty of misappropriation of the proceeds thereof, be punished as prescribed in section 1933, volume 3, of the Code of 1895. Section 4. Be it further enacted, that all laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act be, and the same is hereby repealed. This iniquitious bill was killed by a large vote in the House on Thursday. In last Saturday's Constitution, Dr. H. R. Butler, Grand Master of Masons of this state had an article that is fully commended all over the state, protesting against the passage of this bill. The Constitution had the article headed prominently with these words "Says Legislative Bill Will Hurt Negro Mason. H. R. Butler Writes of Good Work Done by His Order." Then comes the article as follows: To prove our contention always that the Negro societies are doing good, especially along the line of being law-abiding citizens, we publish the following article clipped from the Times-Enterprise, Thomasville, Ga., published the closing day of the recent Knights of Pythias Grand Lodge session: "The lodge is on the eve of adjournment and has passed through a series of sessions that have been marked by their harmony and enthusiasm for the order. The delegates loudly applauded the reports of the various Grand Lodge officers yesterday. "This body of men, numbering about two thousand has been in the city for about three days and not one single bit of disorder has marked their coming. It is one of the most remarkable occurrences that Thomasville has ever experienced, and one that can hardly be believed of any body of men so large." H. R. Butler, the grand master of the grand lodge of Negro Masons in Georgia, sends The Constitution the follow- ing communication in regard to a bill which is now pending in the legislature: "Editor Constitution: I would appreciate it very much if you would allow me space in your paper to say a word relative to the colored Masons of Georgia working under the most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge, of which I am grand master. "There is a bill pending in the legislature, the passage of which will close up our lodges along with other organizations. We have in the state nearly thee hundred lodges, representing nearly 8000 members. These lodges are composed of the very best men in their several communities. Most of these men own their own homes and are striving to obey the laws of their state and practice only the valuable lessons taught by our honorable fraternity. As best I can, I have taught them to hold their communications early and close early, and thereby protect their health, and to better enable them to do a full day's work the next day for any and all persons for whom they may be laboring. I am please to say they have complied with my wishes in this matter. "This is the fortieth year of our existence in the state as a body, and through this long period of time not a single member of the Masonic fraternity has been accused of the unmentionable crime or any other criminal act of a capital nature. I mention this to show the wonderful help delivered from the teaching of the order upon our members. "Out of their little earnings they have sacrificed and have built-halls in which they meet, simply to practice the rites of the order they love so well. Our white friends can rest assured that whenever they see one of these colored Masonic halls, there they will find an humble, but true temple, erected to God and dedicated to the Masonic fraternity and to all the grand principles for which it stands. There they will find colored men that can be depended upon in any crisis to help preserve and preserve law and order, to be honest, truthful and law-abiding, not only because they are so taut, but because they have so lived that they have become a part of the community in which they live. They realize the fact that what they do to help improve the community will also help and improve To prove our contention always good, especially along the line of bish the following article clipped forville. Ga., published the closing dGrand Lodge session: "The lodge is on the eve of adjourn sessions that have been marked by the der. The delegates loudly applauded officers yesterday. "This body of men, numbering abo for about three days and not one sing ing. It is one of the most remarkable experienced, and one that can hardly be worked faithfully. The officers of the Woman's Auxiliary are Mrs. M. M. Mills, President; Mrs. C. Sims. Vice President; Mrs. E. R. Dennis, Sec'y; Mrs. Brown, Treasurer. The next session of the Association will meet with the White Oak Baptist Church, Monteith, Ga., Rev. Moody, pastor. H. H. of Ruth Executive Board The Executive Board of the District Grand Household of Ruth and the Grand Auditors were session this week in this city at the home of District Grand Most Noble Governor, Mrs. R. L. Barnes. This is the last meeting prior to the Albany session next month. The Grand Household is in excellent condition and the board and them, hence they so live, work, act and live. "Some twelve years ago they realized the fact that they should be more active in spreading charity among the needy of their members. With this idea in view, they, by the help of the members of St. John's Lodge at Americus and other friends, white and colored, secured 20 acres of land in that city and there erected an orphans home and an industrial school. For several years we have gathered there the orphan children of our deceased brethren and at an expense of nearly $3,000 a year have done the best we could in thus helping the state care for those of its little ones that would otherwise be dependent upon it. "The passage of this bill would cut off all hope of support of these orphan children. The brethren of the state meet in their halls and gladly give of their earnings to feed, clothes and give an industrial training to these children. "I mention these things to show our friends that we are doing something. We are not merely meeting to be meeting, but we are meeting for a purpose —to improve ourselves and to care for the husband and fatherless. Only last night I received a request from Louisville to admit to the home two children whose father died recently, and the mother is not able to care for them. The bankers and merchants in Americus with whom we deal in our business in the care of our orphans' home, if called upon, will verify the truthfulness of what I have said. "All legislation should have for its object the lightening of the burdens of the people and to make them law-abiding, happy and contented." A happy people will stay in one place and work for the uplift of the community. An unhappy and discontented people will move from place to place and become a dangerous people. The passage of this measure would upset the colored people in the state as nothing else has ever done. "As the head of the Masonic fraternity among the colored men in the state I thought it my duty to set ourselves right in the sight of the people of the state, that they may know who we are and what we are doing, and what we have for all these years stood for and are still standing for.

Rev Wright's text was from St John 3:3 The subject was "Regeneration." The sermon was a beautiful test for the christians and an excellent lesson to sinners. It was well received by all who heard it. The choir sang the beautiful medley "Jesus lover of my soul." Rev Wright led the hymn "Amazing sight the Saviour stands." Quite a crowd came and knelt for prayer. He offered a prayer that was very touching. The Knights of Damon donated exceedingly liberal to the church, pastor, choir, sexton, and even remembered Rev Sims. Though they are very young men in a very prosperous condition they did not forget the poor saints for they made a liberal donation to them.

The Trent River runs a tumultuous course among the Canadian rocks before it finally tumbles into Lake Superior. It is so broken that in most parts passage in a canoe means as much carrying as paddling, and the shores are so rugged and covered with tangled undergrowth that travel afoot verges on the impossible. Probably difficulty of finding it has helped to keep one of the best trout streams on the North Shore. A camping party from Duluth, consisting of Walter Pearson and his brother Joe, with three companions, four canoes and five Indian guides, attempted it last summer, however, and reached a point about fifteen miles from the river-mouth. Here the party stopped, and a couple of days later Walter, and Joe dropped down the stream in one of the canoes to try the river a mile or two below camp. There were rapids, on an average, every fifty yards, but most of them could be run. Between them were stretches of deep, rapid water, where the big fish lay. If they had wished, they could have half-filled their canoe with small trout; but anything under a pound went back into the water again, and they even began to despise any fish that did not give a ten minute's light before being landed. About a mile and a half below camp, however, they came to a difficult rapid, which had been audible for a long time. Here the water rushed through and over a medley of irregular rocks, and then, after some ton rods of smooth, swift current, poured down a cataract of several feet. Huge black rocks, split and tumbled, broke up the cascade, and the hoarse rear filled the pine wood with sound. Even if the first rapid could be negotiated, the second certainly was impossible. The intervening space looked exceedingly promising, however, and as there is hardly room for two fly-rods in a canoe, Walter landed to fish from the bank. Joe landed to fish from a boat, who dared for the rapid, anchored the canoe to a boulder by a buckskin thong, and begged to throw his files into the foam water just at the foot of the fall. Here the thore was less encumbered than usual, the thickets were farther from the water, and Walter had reasonable space for his back cast. There were trout between the cataracts, as they had guessed. Walter was kept busy from his first cast, and when he had time to glance at Joe's proceedings, his brother seemed to be equally fortunate. But at one of these hurried glances his eye caught something that appalled him.2 The buckskin loop that held the straining canoe seemed to be in danger of slipping from its hold on the rock. He shouted, but the roar of the water drowned his voice. He hurried up the bank opposite the canoe. It was true the thong was slipping from its hold3 it is difficult to tie a rope round a rock, with security. He yelled again, but Joe had just hooked a fish, and his attention was fully absorbed. At this, Walter took to throwing stones. He succeeded finally in sending one with a thumb into the canoe, and Joe looked up. He caught the direction of his brother's pointing arm, glanced astern, and seemed to grasp the danger like a flash. He dropped his rod and snatched at the paddle, but it was too late. The loop slipped free, the canoe shot forward, and before Joe could dip the paddle overboard, it whirled broadside on into the rapids. Instantly it capsized. Joe went out of sight in the foam and water, and then Walter saw him floating down on the current below the rapid. He was on his back, with his face just above water, and he did not move a limb. Walter shouted again, but got no response. Joe had not been submerged long enough to be drowned, but he had evidently been knocked senseless against the stones. Then Walter realized the new and greater dapper. Joe was drifting rapidly head for most toward the second cataract, and no one could dive down that fall and live. The rocks at the bottom of this cascade would brain the strongest swimmer. Walter dropped his rod and rushed into the water. The strength of the swirling current came near sweeping him from his feet. It was clearly too deep to wade and he was a poor swimmer. He knew well that he could never reach his brother in time. They would go over the fall-together. Joe was more than thirty feet from shore. Walter shouted at a long pole, and attached madly ashore again. He gazed sight of his fishing rod, with its hundred yards of strong and perforated limbs on the reel. Joe was now aware of twenty yards above the cascade and listened to Walter that he was moving slightly as he drifted, that he was beginning to struggle as if he were coming to his senses. But it was too late to swim, and struggling would only put his head under water. Rod. In hand, Walter ran into the river again as far as he wanted to go. His brother was twenty feet farther out and coming down fast. He measured the distance with his eye, reeled out the line, waying the rod in the air, and then, with a thin bright wrist, the delicate rod shot the skin of flies across the water. The difficulty was not far from the length of the cast; it was to hook the files in his brother's clothing. The files fell a yard beyond Joe's body. He drew them in. They slipped over his chest. One of them seemed to have van instant, but it came free at the first tug. Desperately Water swished the flies out of the water for another cast. Meanwhile Joe had floated faster. He was terribly near the cast, and moving fast as the current quickened. And now Walter saw that he was unmistakably moving his hands feebly in a half-conscious attempt to swim. He saw that he would have time to throw but once more. This cast meant his brother's life or death, and his nerves grew cool with the emergency. He waded a little further into the stream, leaning against the current to keep his balance. The line whirled again and shot out, and again the gut fell across. Joe's shoulders, with the liner in the water on the other side. With the greatest care Walter drew in the liner. One of the files dragged over the body as before. The other caught, broke loose and caught again in Joe's pattress near the collar, and then the rod bent with the sudden strain of 150 pounds floating downward on the strong current. Walter was using a gentle blower and stronger than any wooden one, but he feared his line. The current pulled hard, and he dared not exert too much force. Joe's body swung round, the head upstream they feet toward the cataract, and their rent split and ripped in spray over his head. The litle rod bent hoop-like. There was a struggle for a moment, a deadlock between the stream and the new force, and then Walter felt that he could not hold it. His wheel would never stand the strain. With the check on the reel he let out line, inch by inch, to ease the resistance, and meanwhile he devised to swing his brother across the current and nearer the shore. He was partly successful. Joe came over, in an arc of a circle, under the pull of rod and line, but the current pulled harder, and for every inch he gained thus Walter had to let out a foot of line. Yet he thought he was going to win, and he might have won, but the slow sidewise. motion suddenly seemed to bring Joe into a switter strip of the stream. There was a stronger tug, toward of line went out unintentionally, and before Walter could check it Joe was poised at the very head of the fall, hanging at the end of the taut, vibrating line, while his feet in the rushing current. It was the crisis. Walter, stopped, the reel and brought the rod backward, bringing all its flesh into it. It came unzipped, beautifully it was not two seconds. The gut parted with a loud crack, and the line snapped back, into Walter's face like a whiplash. Joe was gone like lightning. He had shot over the fall—but he had gone feet first! Walter splashed, out of the water and ran round to the bottom of the cataract. Joe was there, battling round and round in a circular eddy, and as he came within a yard of the shore, Walter dragged him in. His face was cut, his coat was storm half off him, and he was unconscious again—evidently half droyned, if nothing else. Walter worked, oyster him for what seemed an intermittent time before he came to himself, and then he was far too faint and sick with the knocks he had received and the amount of water he had swallowed to be able to walk. His mother finally had to leave him, while he hurried back, for a couple of hours to unlucky fisherman to camp. The canoe was found stranded mile below in a badly battered condition. Joe himself was battered almost as badly. From head to goddess was covered with bruises that made movement impossibly for a couple of days and unpleasant for a week. His legs had suffered would never ever, and they had saved his head. If he had gone over the false head first he would never have come out alive, so that Walter attack had held long enough to save him after all Youth's Companion.

His disposition toward you will be just what you make it yourself. Treat him kindly, but with firmness. He is sure to remember any kindness, and sure to remember any inimness that you may do to him, and will watch his chance to get even with you. Allow him but one service and then feed him to the table and he will soon learn what is wanted of him, and will readily take up with 'the' program. Well minded and probably fed, he will live to be eight or ten years old and get 'gold' calves.

Some experiments have been conducted under the direction of the Bureau of Animal Industry with a desire to ascertaining the value of crude oil for removing mange and lice from cattle. This was found very effective, and some of animals followed match was partly accounted for by the data reason at which they were impaled upon the experiment. was conducted in Colorado, and toward the approval of winters. It was found that the animals were not only effectively removed, but that the animals carried the disinfectant with them, and thus they were protected for some time from any danger of rejection.

In June 1934, about one million Ancona can produce that would inhabit the Minnesota in the field of their arts and science. immense production of the same. The Ancona is in reality, held the medium size of the aryage Leghorn. They do, however, prove their ability to lay large sized eggs in proportion to the size of their *avoided*卵 which any variety of Leghorn, or even the Minorca itself. Anconas averages three and one-half to five pounds each. They are in color of skin and in shape the same as the Leghorn, description of which the reader is interested to. In color the beak should be yellow, the upper mandible being striped with more or less black. The eyes are red. Comb and wattles red Ear lobes white, free as possible from a creamy appearance. The shanks and feet are generally not fitted with brownish to black colored spots, interfixed with yellow. Clean yellow shanks and feet are preferable. The plumage is similar to that of the Houdan, being broken with black and white or black feathers mottled with white, or vice versa. Feathers may also each be solid white or black, in some sections. A general effect of such colors may be realized by a careful examination of the illustration, No. 32, given here with. In [size the Ancona averages one, half pound lighter than the average weights given for Leghorns. The Ancona youngster is an interesting little fellow, with breasts and body coloring intermixed with shades of white and canary, while the top of the head is very dark, often black, from which a dark stripe starts and extends down its neck and terminates in a distinct black stripe running the length of the back.

Turkies for Egg Production. That it is possible to carve a breed of turkey hens that will lay eggs from spring until Christmas is the contention of W. N. Iwain, of the United States Department of Agriculture. He says that the only reason this feature of the poultry industry has not been developed is that farmers have paid no attention to it. "I have been eating turkey eggs and turkey for many years," says Mr. Iwain, "and have found them better than any other article of food. The thing that started me looking into the possibilities of the turkey was this liking for the eggs. For several years I have been haunting the Central Market of Washington three times a week and buying up turkey eggs. Most of the farmers who bring them into town to sell for food save the eggs for me. I have bought as many as 140 birds in a year. In the spring, of course, I can not get the eggs, since they are too valuable to sell for food. So I have found that the eggs can be kept very easily all winter. Experience has shown me that turkey eggs Reptilus for that length of time by ordinary means will poach nicely. An egg that poaches is a good egg. I do not put the eggs in cold storage, but keep them cool and dry. "I believe turkey eggs are as much superior to ordinary hen's eggs, as is turkey meat to that of chickens. It took 200 years to get white Leghorns to lay 200 eggs a year, and not many of them come up to that standard even now. I do not believe it will take anywhere near that long to develop 200-egg turkeys, for there been many changes and advances since experiment began with Leghorns. Besides, I have found at least one man near Washington who has a 200-egg turkey, and dozens who say they have birds, that lay upward of 100 eggs. Even a 100-egg bird would be a distinct advantage. "The time has passed when the farmer can afford to raise turkeys for one setting of eggs. The man who told me he had a 200 egg turkey hen killed his bird for the market. I told him he killed at least $100, and he, of course, did not realize it at the time. One gentleman told me the other day that he has two turkey hens that have faith upward of 100 eggs this year and are still getting. He can not get them to sion long, enough to fatten them for Thanksgiving. I told him not to think of fattening them, for they are worth vastly more to him for breeding purposes. "At the least calculation, a 200 egg bird should bring $25." In the farmer raises 100 such birds in a year, his gross income from them would be $2500. Such a breed of turkey can be developed only by patient, careful selection from year to year." "This industry must be undertaken with reasonable conservatism. I believe the results are certain. But persons who go into the work must expect to wait patiently for the promised results. If a farmer had from fifty to 100 birds that laid upward of 100 eggs a year he would have no trouble in getting his price for them. If it would not be necessary to wait till the birds get up to the 200 eggs class to make big money out of them for their laying qualities." "The Rhode Island experiment station has become interested in the work. First they started with eggs from birds that laid upward of 100 but for some reason the experiment failed. Now they are working with some young birds. I would advise any farmer who thinks of young birds the work to start with young birds from late broods until EA set off." 912 Ghwane laying khedresh water light khedresh khreteh kheteh day khedresh gold kheteh kheteh ..... very small seeds, should never be kept in a warm, dry place with small, spreads.

A buffetless issued by the geological survey on the 'Concentration of Cement Interests' declares it can be said that, there is not enough a present concentration of interests in the cement industry, and that this will probably become more marked year by year. The eighty-eight plants in existence in 1890s are owned by seven entry-eight companies, and several of these nominally independent companies are closely connected in own ship. The nature of the cement industry renders it impossible that any compulsion or non-competitive writing in cement can be carried to such point as to result in a monopoly of the industry, dusty and hardened flesh offices. "Good raw materials are so widely distributed in the United States that there is hardly a county which could not produce Portland cement in principle, or wery foreseen, enough. The only limitation now on the erection of cement plant is the fact that the size, cost, makes the gestures, prohibitive,ount for the individual or for the small firm." **PROMPT ACTION.** I want to meet your personal saliage.

BOY WHO SHOT WEE GIRL TELLS OF DEED "I Don't Know What Made Me Kill Frances," Says Joe Kane, Aged Eleven. MAY WARD OFF OLD AGE. Removal of Large Intestine Urged by Doctor Who Backs Up Metchnikoff. Burlington, N. X. J.-Declaring that he deliberately shot three-year-old Frances Lord, but unable to explain what impulse forced him to the act, eleven-year-old "Joe" Kane, held for the slaying of the little girl last Saturday evening, made a complete confession to Assistant County Prosecutor Robert Atkinson and Policeman Claude Sell, of Burlington, at the City hall jail. "I knew it would kill Frances and I know they hang people for doing things like that," said the youthful prisoner. Then recovering some of the braggadocio he displayed when arrested, Kane said he had been inspired to play "robber" by moving picture shows which he had witnessed. "All the boys play robber," continued Joe. "Sometimes we use sticks for swords and hold up all the kids that come along, but it's more fun to use a gun, because you can scare all the kids with that. "We often used the old gun when we were having 'fun' playing highwayman. I came near shooting Freddie Roberts once when I pulled the trigger and the gun went off just over his head. We used to swipe caps and, shoot them off on the gun when there weren't any other loads in it, as there was this last time when I shot Frances. My brother had loaded it to shoot blackbirds last week. Sometimes I'd chase the whole gang out of the yard, telling them I'd shoot them. Once I got a pistol and made a fellow run like sixty. "But I never had a fight with Frances. She was just a little girl," said the boy, in tears for the first time during the interview, and he added remorsefully, "I don't know why I did it. "When Frances run up to see what we were doing I said. I'm going to shoot you!" She says. "Please don't shoot me!" and put her hands over her face and pooled through her fingers. She started to run and I shot the gun at her. The old gun kicked so hard it nearly knocked me over. "My mother and father told neighbors it was an accident, so I just said it was an accident and blamed it on Tommy Ocas. I knew it wasn't right to kill her. I didn't mean to shoot her, and I don't know why I did. We were having such a good time playing robber!" Her car go to Sunday school, Joe! asked the presenter. "Nope, but I'd like to go. Never got any good clothes to wear. I can't a bad boy, though. Folks say I'm bad when I'm just having fun." Kane had an opportunity to tell his story "again before a coroner's fury." Local officials who listened to the boy's story believe he suffered a sudden attack of insanity, and assert that his case is a study for alienists rather than a jury. The boy prisoner seemed to enjoy his experience on the trolley trip to the county sent with Patrolman Claude Sell. "I wonder if they'll hang me for this," he asked the policeman. When assured that hanging was no longer in force in New Jersey the boy seemed easier in his mind. London.—As the result of investigations at St. Mary's Hospital, London, Dr. Distaso, of Paris, says he has verified the theory of Professor Metchnikoff that old age can be warded off. It will be recalled that Professor Metchnikoff declared it to be his conviction a couple of years ago that the large intestine was the breeding place of the majority of harmful germs in the human body, and that when this intestine was removed the majority of germs remaining in the body were exposed, with the result that life was prolonged. Dr. Distaso's investigations were directed to comparing the germs found in normal individuals and in those whose large intestine had been removed by operation. He so satisfied himself by his studies Experiments to Be Made With View to Supplement Telephone. Washington, D. C.—In order to ascertain whether the hellograph can be successfully utilized in the National forests to report fires and transmit other messages in areas where there is no quick method of communication, experiments with instruments like those used in the United States Army will be made during the summer. If satisfactory, hellographs will be used to supplement the telephone lines. "I wish I was cut in those woods," he exclaimed as the car passed a shady grove. "That's a bully place to play robber." "Playin' robber" seems to be the boy's chief joy in life. He was "playin' robber" when he killed Frances Lord. "Joe's" eyes bulged and he wept a little when the policeman led him up the steps of the old county fall, but he recovered quickly and chatted with the turnkey and Sheriff Worrell before he was assigned to a cell. What to do with "Joe" is becoming more of a puzzle to the authorities every day. He is too young to be put on trial for manslaughter, and local officials wish that he might be turned over to some "home society," and saved from the reform school. Testimony of Mrs. Lord at the inquest "that she saw her daughter shot, and of eleven-year-old Thomas Ocas, a boy companion of Kane's that the latter deliberately shot Frances after threatening her life, destroyed the theory that the shooting was an accident. "He said, 'Me shoot you; me shoot you, Frances.'" She cry, and then he shoot her," the Ocas boy testified in broken English, when Prosecutor Atkinson asked him to describe the tragedy. Kane at first charged Ocas with the shooting, but afterward confessed that he did it himself. Smiling and crying alternately as he answered the prosecutor's questions, the Kane boy was by far the most interesting witness at the inquest. Rather small for his age, with his round face plentifully freckled, the defendant seemed a perfectly normal boy, and a murmur of pity ran through the room as he was called to the witness stand. The prosecutor asked him if he knew what would become of him if he told an untruth. "Yes. You'd send me to the reform school." answered the boy. "But if you died, what would become of you then, Joe?" "I'd go to the bad man." The little prisoner then rehearsed the events leading up to and surrounding the tragedy, which were substantially the same as he had given in part in earlier confessions. He again changed the story to deny that he shot the girl deliberately. "Tommy had the gun and I took it away from him; Frances came around the corner. 'Lookout, I'm going to shout you,' I said. She began to cry and then the gun went off, witness testified. "I had no hand on the trigger," he continued, "but I just pressed it a little. I didn't mean to kill her. We were good friends and played together." For nearly an hour and a half the fury deliberated before returning a verdict which was the mildest form under which the boy could be held. Mrs. Kane. Joe's mother, broke into tears as the assistant prosecutor read the verdict, and fainted when Coroner Bisbing remanded him to fail to await the action of the county authorities. Joe, gravely shook hands with several boy friends, who said they were sorry for him and honed he would get out soon. But he didn't cry. of the truth of Professor Metchin-koff's theory that he unhesitatingly says that every child ought to have its large intestine and appendix removed when two or three years old. He further affirms that almost every chronic disease can be traced to the action of these intestinal germs, among others heart disease, arterial sclerosis and most kinds of headaches. Everybody would get along better without the big intestine, but those who care not to sumbit to it will be operated on if they want to live long, to eat very little meet, once daily being plenty, with green vegetables, and only vegetables at other meals. Water should be drunk abundantly throughout the day, but no tea, coffee or spirits. Employers Declare That Union May Drive Them Out of Lynn. Lynn, Mass.

Has Disturbing Effects on Strangefe There can be no doubt that the air of distilleries, wine and spirit vaults must contain appreciable quantities of alcohol. The stranger on his first visit to the great sherry bodegas in the south of Spain, experiences at first a decided sense of exhilaration with quickening of the pulse, followed by a narcotic effect, a feeling of languor and headache. In the great brandy stores of Cognac, again, to some people the air is sickening. It might be naturally expected that the more volatile constituents of wines and spirits would be the first to evaporate into the air, and possibly the volatile ethers would thus prevail. It has been said that the effect of inhaling the air of the sherry vaults is more marked than when other spiritous liquids are kept in store. Air, therefore, impregnated with the vapors of spirits and wines, must have a deteriorating effect on the health. And according to an examination made of the air of a distillery, it would appear that no less than an ounce of proof spirit, or one-half ounce of absolute alcohol may be present in five cubic feet of air. And since this alcohol would gain access to the circulation through the lungs, it follows that special arrangements of ventilation are an absolute necessity. Epilentics In Public Schools. The compulsory education laws drive—theoretically—all children but imbeciles and idols into the schools and keep them there for a minimum of six years tolling over their books, whether or not they can see, hear or think. Thus every city, town, village and hamlet engages itself to provide for all classes of defectives and degenerates above a certain level. But this level is not always maintained in actual practice. For instance, when the compulsory education law went into effect in Baltimore, eighty-three, epileptics, liable to seizures at any hour, were found right in the grades with the other children; while in Philadelphia there are today, according to Dr. Witmer's estimate, nearly 1,000 imbeciles occupying desks beside normal children. These unfortunates must either be provided for in the public schools, or cast out to shift for themselves as best they may; for the special institutions—even when parents are willing to send their children to them—are too crowded to take them in.

It is not necessary to have much in order to be exuberantly happy, and very often those who are, in the world's eye, well off in so far as material possessions are concerned are mentally and spiritually poverty-stricken—their dispositions prevent the serene and equable enjoyment of life's blessings; their search for amusement, though frantic, is in vain, for time still hangs heavy on their hands, and they do not realize that there is no lasting pleasure in luxurious idleness, for rest brings 'tranquility and peace only after honest and unremitting labor.—Philadelphia Ledger.

DOINGS OF THE ASSEMBLY $2,000 for Agricultural Schools--These Figures Agreed Upon By the Appropriations Committee. Atlanta, Ga.—Georgia's 1909 appropriation of $2,225,000 for her public schools will remain unchanged during 1910, according to a vote of the appropriation decree. In the house this amount will be raised in 1911 to $2,500,000. A stiff fight for the increase of the 1910 appropriation to the $2,500,000 was made, but the supporters of this measure fell short by a scant half dozen voters. The session was the stormiest yet held. The action of the committee in allowing the 1910 school appropriation to remain unchanged, while raising by $250,000 that of 1911, was in the nature of a compromise, made with a view of reconciling those desiring no raise and those who favored a raise in 1910. Representative Parker of Tolbert had introduced a bill providing for no increase, while Representative Brinson of Decalur had bawled away one rating, equal appropriations both of 1910 and 1911 to $2,500,000. It was then that Representative Ault of olk introduced the bill, which was finally reported favorably. The committee also reported favorably on a bill appropriating $2,000 for each of the district agricultural schools of the state, this amount to be in excess of the proceeds of the fertilizer tax. Senator Slater's bill providing for biennial sessions of the general assembly was discussed at length in the senate but the hour of adjournment was reached before a vote was taken. Senator Slater stated that the only states now holding annual sessions of the general assembly were Georgia, New York, South Carolina, New Jersey and Massachusetts. These sessions, he lasted from 50 to 75 days, with an average of sixty days. He said the time of the legislature spent in triviality. The general assembly was being cartooned by the press—frequently in a disrespectful manner. The people were crying for biennial sessions, the press demanded it and he thought the matter should be placed before the people to vote on. Senator Gordy here introduced an amendment making the sessions sixty days, instead of fifty days. Senator Slater accepted this amendment. Continuing, Senator Slater said the economy of the administration of public affairs demanded biennial sessions. He thought the continual agitation of politics would be put an end if sessions were held less frequently. Senator Longley favored the bill. The state was suffering, from too much legislation. The people were tired of so many freak measures. If the people got an opportunity the bill would sweep the state. He really favored four years instead of two. Senator McCurry spoke along similar lines in advocacy of the bill. The bill was opposed by Senator Burwell. He said that biennial sessions instead of remedying the evil of frivolous legislation, would really increase the evil—that every senator and representative would have two years in which to think up freak or pet measures. Alabama had passed a bill providing for sessions every four years, and the governor had been compelled to call extra sessions every year. Pennsylvania was a glaring example of the viciousness of infrequent sessions. Senator Jackson was vigorously antagonistic to the measure. He said the state would not only not save money, but would lose money by the change. General tax returns received from thirty-seven counties, or just one-fourth the number in the state, show a net gain over property valuations of last year of $1,917,652, indicating a total net gain on the digests of less than ten millions for the entire state. Twenty-five of these counties show gains of $2,403,601 over 1908, while twelve show losses of $485,409: It would appear that one county out of three is coming forward with a loss. The elders from the larger county of the state, however, may serve to bring up the general average. Eight counties reported as follows: Gains—Dodge, $29,029; Habersham, $85,535; Rabun, $23,242; Schley, $12, 823. Losses—Pierce, $80,114; Glascock, $2,261; Chattooga, $81,228; Webster, $10,205. Georgia may be the first state in the union to approve the constitutional amendment to authorize the national congress to adopt an income tax law. A bill authorizing the submission of such an amendment to the federal constitution to the states, has been passed by congress. President Taft will within the next day or two send out notices to this effect to the various chief executives of the states. As the legislature of Georgia is now in session, this state may be the first to ratify the amendment. As soon as Governor Brown receives the official notice from the president he will submit it to the general assembly. It will then be in order to introduce a bill to ratify the amendment. There was an entire absence of opposition in the senate to the bill providing for the creation of a state board of osteopathic examiners, to consist of five members to be appointed by the governor, and the bill was through by a vote of 31 to 0. The osteopaths of Georgia have been trying for years to secure this recognition of their profession on the part of the state, and this is the first time the measure providing for the treatment of the elderly has either house. The bill now goes to the house, where strong effort will be made to have it finally enacted. SHIPPING GEORGIA SHEEP. Wool Growers Have Found the Industry Profitable. Moultrie, Ga.—The evodus of sheep from Colquitt county has set in again for the summer, and the shipment of a carload of sheep is almost a daily occurrence. The wool growers, who have made money off their sheep in the past, have found them unprofitable of late owing to the fact that the county is being settled up and the range is depreciating. Dogs also till many of them, and last winter hundreds were killed by forest fires which raged all over the range for two or three weeks. Five carloads have been shipped recently from one community in Robinson district, and in every section of the county the sheep owners are coming together and selling despite the fact that wool sold this year for more than it has brought in a number of years. The price being paid for the sheep is $1.75 f. o. b. Moultrie or any point in the county. TO HOLD SEA ISLAND COTTON. Proposed to Build Big Warehouse in Savannah. Savannah, Ga.—For the purpose of organizing in the interest of higher and stabler prices for sea island cotton, the growers of this staple, to the number of five hundred, met in Savannah as the Farmers' Union Sea Island Cotton Growers' association. Before the delegates is the quiesion of building a big warehouse in Savannah that will be used, to store sea island cotton in the fight for better prices. The convention of growers started off in a muddle, because the watches of most of the farmers were an hour slower than Savannah time. Mayor Tiedeman represented the city of Savannah in an address of welcome to the farmers. President Webb responded. The chief address of the day was made by Colonel G. Arthur Gordon of Savannah. He warned the growers against a wide range in sea island's prices. TO GATHER STATISTICS. Organize New Concern in New York For Cron Reports. New York City.—The organization of a company to gather crop statistics in competition with the department of agriculture, has become public through the appearance of the Mercantile Cotton Crop-Reporting company of New York, in the list of new incorporations at Albany.

It is proposed by the company to appoint correspondents in every county in the cotton belt. Reports will be received from them about the time that the government reportably take over the business of Mrs. Bertha Burch, who served for years as assistant to C. C. Hyde, chief of the bureau of statistics at Washington ALBANY'S FIRST BALE Deal Jackson Delivers Nine Days Later Than Last Year. Albany, Ga.—The first bale of cotton of the 1909 crop in Georgi was marketed here. The bale was grown by Deal Jackson, the Dougherty county negro who has held the distinction of the first bale farmer for a number of years. The cotton crop is a little behind compared to that of last year, the bale Jackson marketed being nine days later than last year. The cotton classed as fully middling and was purchased by the International Cotton company of this city, the price being 20 cents per pound. The bale weighed 381 pounds and was stored with A. W. Muse Co. This cotton will be shipped to E. A. Cutts & Co., at Savannah, who will ship it at once to New York. HOTELS FOR THUNDERBOLT. Modern Structure To Be Built At the Resort.

Mr. Editor: Please allow me space in your most estimable paper to let the members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. Jurisdiction of Georgia, you know I am still living, and if I should continue in good health I will be in Albany on the 11th of August to-shake hands with B. J., and all other Odd Fellows, providing B. J., admits me in, because about the third of the month B. J. fell'in a deep sleep. When he awoke he told his secretary to notify me of my lodge being fined for not paying June special taxes. The notification was dated July 3d, 1909, so I suppose B. J. fined my lodge about the middle of June, for special taxes due in July. I like very much for B. J. Davis to know that I live on St. Simon's, but I was not born on St. Simon's Island, Ga. I am a native of English soil, a place called St. Lucia, although B. J. and I differ in pronunciation of word and also in accent, but I understand the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows' regulations and laws as well as any man in the order. If the laws were printed in French and Latin I will say, without fear of contradiction, I could read them as good as any other man in the jurisdiction. A brother who cannot read the endowment laws and understand them ought to be qualified for secretary of this lodge. I have a deep reason to make the above statement, which I shall let you know later. Let us change the subject. Some time ago I read an article in the Savannah Tribune written by brother Wibmrelly, concerning $22,000 of our widows' and orphans' money having been spent to purchase a lot in Atlanta, and begged for an answer from the Grand Secretary concerning the same. I have noticed the Grand Secretary failed to answer him. Why? Because the purchase of the lot is contrary to the Davis Endowment Law. It will be found on page 7, section 4, that if Davis has spent the money for any other purpose than to pay widows and orphans he has violated Davis' Endowment Law, and Davis is not responsible if he has violated the Davis Endowment Law, because every time Davis sleeps and wakes hee forgets his own laws, because Ben makes a new law every time he sleeps and wakes up. Sometimes Ben does not know himself if he be inside the law or outside of them himself. Ben is not responsible for having spent the widows' and orphans' fund. At times Davis himself is mixed up on Davis Endowment Law and needs to be reminded by some of us. Ben has composed more laws to govern this jurisdiction of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in one minute than have been composed in the whole United States since Peter Ogden brought it here. I imagine sometimes before Ben takes a nap he will tell his assistant secretary to write a certain law and send it to every lodge in the jurisdiction and in fifteen minutes after B. J. gets up he forgets all about his new law, therefore B. J. is not responsible. Brethren, I say two articles in the Atlanta Independent, one from Nelson, Ga., stating that "We hope Brother Davis will give up a good representation at Albany next month." There is no doubt Davis will give you a very good representation of his own, because he has received all the credentials from the ignorant lodges and P. S.'s, who do not know or understand a general low no more than a bull's foot. The Vicksburg Advocate-Journal also stated we should elect Davis by acclamation. If the Odd Fellows of his state, need a man like Davis to be boss over them they are welcome to come here and tie Davis and carry him to Vicksburg. We have enough competent brethren in Georgia to attend our own affairs. We do not want any advice from anyone elsewhere. Attend to your own affairs at home and let ous alone. Davis has done no more good for the affairs of the Odd Fellows of Georgia than any other good Odd Fellow has done in the past. All I know, Davis has done and is doing, is working for his own aggrandizement. Yours in F., L. and G., C. JOSEPH. REV. THOMAS' TRIP TO NORTH-FIELD, MASS. Rochester, N. Y., Jouly 19, 1909. My Dear Editor: I thought a few observations on my journey might be interesting to you and your readers, and it is with pleasure that I address you these few lines hoping they may contain at least a crumb of thought. Leaving home on the 10th instant on the steamship City of Savannah, bound for the Summer Institute and Christian gathering for ministers and Sunday School teachers, at Northfield, Mass., my journey last three days on a moderately rough sea. It was traversed by me with especially light touches of seasickness. The rising sun over the waters made a line of golden light seeming to lead to other worlds of brightness, and the setting sun toward the western horizon in the evening seemed to do the same. These scenes, together with galaxies of ethereal lights and cerulean hues, strange sea birds, fing fishes, porpise and other sights gave such entertainment that the trip really seemed brief. For the first time in my life, I had the pleasure of following my custom of having Sunday morning prayer service, on board ship, and in that many of our hearts were made to rejoice and overflow. Arrived at New York, which port is too well known to need description in this letter, I boarded the famous Empire State Express. This route leads t through a rich farming and dairy country, acres and acres of rolling land, mounds and valleys, being under cultivation in wheat, corn, orchards, pastures, etc. These farms are so regularly and systematically fenced in, laid out and kept, that they clearly show the industrial genius of men and women in the state of New York. In the city of Rochester I spent a few days on a visit to my life-long friends, Mr. and Mrs. Morse, in their beautiful home. Their hospitality and goodness is unbounded and enthusiastic. The city of Rochester is a thriving community of 200,000 inhabitants, many large stores, office buildings, hotels, railroads, mills, factories and everything that goes to make up wealth. Through the city runs the Erie canal, the outlet to the east for trade and commerce from the Great Lakes region and the west. Of the inhabitants, about eight hundred or nine hundred are colored, many of whom find places for work in this busy city which affords them rather competent incomes. A fact which indicates here a good field for some Christian labors is that there are two colored churches with a combined membership of not exceeding two hundred. One is a Methodist, and the other is a Presbyterian church. A Baptist church would undoubtedly have a good setting in this place, and the people would surely welcome the advent of one. Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending service in the First Baptist Church. I listened to a beautiful, eloquent gospel discourse on I Tm 2:2: "That we may lead-a quiet and peaceable life in all goodness and honesty." It was one of the most entertaining and heart-inspiring discourses which I have heard for a long time. His comparisons brought out the beauty of quietness and peace rather than loud and bolsterous conduct. The former he showed to exist in the best Christian characters while the latter is found in savages and is the surest mark of the unrefined and uncultivated and careless people in a civilized community. Another feature of the services was the remarks of a missionary from Africa, the Rev. Thomas Moody, with twenty years' experience, supported by the Foreign Missionary Society, who gave a glowing tribute and most favorable report of Africa. He showed the development of thriving, industrious and prosperous cities numbering often as high as 200,000 with schools, courts, stores, printing establishments, book-binderies and other successful enterprises too numerous to mention. Sad to say, there is a tendency to the adoption of Mohammedanism as a religion, and unless good, missionary work is done, it will be hard, if not impossible, to win any considerable number to Christ and stamp out their pagan beliefs. This is the golden moment now when an appeal is made to the Baptists of Rochester to raise $7,000 a year to place a missionary in that field for three years to do this work for Christ; this is to be done outside the regular efforts of the Foreign Missionary Society. Immerily after the church service, having been especially invited by the pastor, I went in to the Church Auxiliary, known as the Hubbel Bible Class for men. This has a membership of 936. There were present 280. The proceedings here were also inspiring in the highest degree. While this was in one part of the edifice, the Sunday School was in session in still another part. So great was the enthusiasm of these Christian workers! The Bible Class was addressed by Judge J. M. Stevens of the Supreme Court of New York with "Habit" as a subject. He used the leading Biblical characters to impress some of the most beautiful lessons Chicago Branch of Howard Polish Company, WALL FOR HOWARDS SHOE POLISH FOR SALE ATTENTION LEADING STORES. THE A.

POPULAR WOMAN JUDGE When Marrying Couples She Omits the Word "obey." Beloit, Kan.—So popular have become the marriage ceremonies performed by Probate Judge Mary Cooper, who is said to be the only woman probate judge in the United States, that it has become a fad for young women to insert the proviso that Judge Cooper shall officiate at the weddings. Judge Cooper's popularity has come about through the omission of the word "obey" while performing the marriage ceremony.
