The Savannah Tribune. MOB BURNED CONVENTS Corpses of Nuns Are Torn From Sepulchers in Barcelona. HORRIBLE TALES OF CRUELTY Silence of Death Reigns in Spanish City Number of Dead Will Never Paris, France.—The Figaro's staff correspondent at Barcelona reports that the rioters violated the sepulchars of nuns, but, generally, speaking, did not harm living nuns. The monks, however, were chased from convents and monasteries, while the women in the crowds were especially engaged, cried: "Away with you! No longer will you steal our needle and our broldery; no longer will you prevent by your unfair competition our women finding employment." In one convent there was a big stock of candles. Women and children lighted these, and held a mock procession, and two mummified bodies of nuns arrayed in magnificent raiment were carried with mock pump before the residence of a millionaire citizen. The correspondent says that while forty blazing convents formed a colossal fire, which suffaced to illuminate the city at night, the rioters indulged in furious attacks union convents The Madrid correspondent of The Echo de Paris estimates that 7,000 children have been made homeless by the destruction of religious institutions in Barcelona. The museum of natural history, one of the most beautiful buildings in Spain, and the art school were destroyed. LABORERS IN DEMAND. From All Over the West the Cry Comes for Help. Washington, D. C.—Indisputable evidence that the country is rapidly recovering from the effects of the recent financial depression, and that it now is on the crest of a great prosperity wave, is furnished by appeals received by the division of information of the department of commerce and labor, particularly from the west. The greatest cry for labor comes from Lincoln, Neb. The commercial bodies of that city made a Similar appeal before the panic, but following the "slump" countermanded the request for labor. In a letter received from W. S. Whitten, secretary of the Commercial Club of Lincoln, it is asserted that "there is great need of labor, both skilled and common, throughout the state, particularly in Lincoln and Omaha and the smaller cities; where more or less manufacturing is done. A scale of wages is submitted showing that "good money" is paid laborers. Shortly following the panic, a La Crosse, Wis., manufacturing company wrote that "we will not have any difficulty in getting all the help we want now," but, through Representatives Ech, of that state, that concern now writes that it wants "ten or fifteen families of five children each." BLUE LAWS REPEALED. Connecticut Legislature Passes New Laws for Sunday Observance. Hartford, Conn.-Both houses of the Connecticut legislature passed a bill repealing the so-called "blue laws" relating to Sunday observance, which forbid almost every form of recreation and secular activity. The laws, which have been seldom enforced, are relics of enactments by the law giving body of 1722. The new Sunday bill is short. It defines the Sunday and prohibits all sports and secular activities "except such as are demanded by necessity and governmental law" and are general welfare of the community." The penal section provides for fines and imprisonment for violation. Under the words "general welfare of the community." Sunday welfare of the community." Sunday baseball is probably permitted and the advocates of the bill admit that the courts must interpret the wording in several places. GAMBLERS DISGUSTED. They. Found the Lid On at Saratoga. New York City—The horde of gamblers who rushed to Saratoga at the opening of the racing season in the belief that the "lid" would be off, have returned, disgruntled and minus their railroad fares. They reported that they had been given to understand that not only would Canfield's famous place be open, but that roulette wheels and all other kinds of gambling would be run unrestricted. They report that not a single game was permitted to open and that they were told that there would be no more gambling during or after the racing season. REMARKABLE FUNERAL BITES. Woman's Ashes Scattered to the Four Winds of the Earth. Chicago. Ill.-Remarkable funeral rites took place when the ashes of Mrs. Rosa Peyton were scattered to two mid-lake. On her band Dr. L. S. Peyton was lost in Lake Michigan, with seventy-five other victims in the wreck of the Alpema, an excursion steamer. Hopping during the years since she last saw her husband alive that he might return to her, Mrs. Peyton at every opportunity crossed to Michigan on excursion steamers. Often she carried flowers with her and scattered them in mid-lake, the only known grave of her husband. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. COTTON GRADES FIXED. Sets to Be Placed on Exhibition for the Information at All. Washington, D. C—In the act of making appropriations for the department of agriculture for the year ending June 30, 1909, the secretary was authorized to establish a standard for the different grades of cotton, to help to his assistance for that purpose, export expert cotton classifiers, by fixing a standard of middling cotton and using the same as a basis, establishing a standard of nine different grades to be designated middling fair, strict good middling, strict*middling, middling, strict low middling, low middling, strict good ordinary and good ordinary." The secretary was further authorized to prepare in practical form the standard of said grades and furnish the same upon request to any person. A committee which included department experts and prominent representatives of the cotton trade, was appointed to fix the grades. The committee has just submitted a report, which the secretary approved, fixing the grades and making certain recommendations in connection therewith. In view of the fact that contracts are made for cotton in advance of the ensuing cotton season, the committee recommended that the grades agreed upon by the committee be not promulgated for general use in trade transactions prior to September 1, 1910. Under the order, for the cotton trade to become legally acquainted with the grades, the department of agriculture will in a short time place sets with associations, organizations and agricultural colleges for inspection. These will enable the cotton producers, merchants and spinners to become familiar with them. TAFT URGES GOOD ROADS. President Wants a Great Highway from Washington to Richmond. Washington, D. C.—President Taft has again indicated his interest in good roads, the latest expression being elicited in connection with a movement for better highways in Virginia, this taking shape in an immediate plan for a good road from the national capital to Richmond. In a letter on the subject, the president says: "I regard this as a part of the general good roads movement in the country, and I have pleasure in saying there is no movement that I know of that will have a more direct effect to alleviate the difficulties and burden of the warfare, will stimulate the traffic and add to the general happiness of the people more than the establishment of good roads throughout the country, I do not think that because this may have been stimulated by people using automobiles it is to frown upon, for, while persons using automobiles are by no means the most important in the community, the fact that their sharp interest has focused the attention of the public on the movement entities them to credit. I must doubt that within the authority which is his, the secretary of agriculture will be glad to assist by recommendation and practical advices the methods to be pursued in good road building in Virginia." NICHOLAS VISITS EDWARD Wärships Cluster About the Yachta of Nicholas at Cowes Cowes, England.—The first official visit of the Russian Emperor Nicholas to England was one of the most impressive and spectacular events that Cowes, accustomed to naval pageantry, ever witnessed. The British had 150 ships aligned in three files between Cowes and Spithead. The measures taken to safeguard Emperor Nicholas make him seem like a prisoner of state when compared with other royal personages who have visited Cowes during regatta week. The Standart dropped anchor between two battleships of the Dreadnought type, which are surrounded by other naval vessels, while small boats patrol about the visitors constantly. Scotland Yard has 100 detectives at Cowes and the Russian police department has an equal representation. CASHIER SHORT $50,000. Calhoun Harris of Anderson, S. C., Put Under Arrest. Anderson, S. C.-Secretary and Assistant Cashier Calhoun Harris of the Orr Cotton Mills of this city has been found short in his accounts approximately $50,000. Harris has arrested on a warrant which charged breach of trust. Mr. Harris stoutly denies, however, misappropriation of any of the funds, and says that the deficiency is due to clerical errors. Kidnapers Demand $25,000 St. Louis, Mo. — Kidnapped from their homes here, Grace Viviano, aged five, and Thomas Viviano, aged two, died in the hospital on account of being held for $25,000 a month. Flood in Tennessee. Nashville, Teen. — Nearly every business house and at least one-third of the residences at Rockwood, Teen, were flooded as the result of a cloud-burst. The rain descended for about 10 minutes, and the constant lightning. The extent of the damage done by the storm cannot at this time be estimated. $10,000 Left to Dogs. Orange, Mass.-By the will of Mrs. Mary F. Snow, of Hartford, Conn., Miss Phila C. Miller, a spinster living here, will receive the income from 100,000 dogs and two small imported dogs. The deceased left her husband but $2,000. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1909. ALABAMA TIGHTENS LID Carmichael Bill Providing For State-Wide Prohibition Passes. WILL CLOSE UP THE CLUBS The Bill Provides That There Shall Be No Sale of Intoxicants Containing Over One-Half of 1 Per Cent of Alcohol. Montgomery, Ala.—The Carmichael bill providing for state-wide prohibition was issued by the house by a vote of 75 to 19. The first real struggle of the present extra season came in the debate on the Carmichael bill—a basis measure for a chain of prohibition bills to be enacted this session. The bill provides that there shall be no sale or manufacture of intoxicants in Alabama, or any beverage containing over one-half of 1 per cent alcohol. It shall not be kept in clubs and distributed to members as a regular thing; all classes of drinks, like near beer, hop-jack, hop-weiss and the like, are interdicted, and every kind of violation under the act is minutely described so that the courts cannot be mistaken] Conviction may be followed by fine of $50 to $200, with six months' hard labor, at the discretion of the court, like amount being possible under each offense. Places of reputed violation may be reached by injunction secured by officers or citizens of the chancery court, all doors can be closed, and the burden of outup upon the accused to establish innocence. Places of suspicion may be declared a nulsance in the same way and closed up, and in every case the possession of a United States License to sell is prima facie evidence of guilt. Liquor men, under advice of attorneys, believe that the bill will stop the sale of intoxicants and close up every club other than those of a purely social nature, cutting out from the real social organizations systematic distribution of drinks. Any club breaking the laws will have, its charter taken away, having agreed prior to the bill, to sell to itself or give away liquor in its rooms. There are scenes of greatest enthusiasm in the galleries. PROHIBITION IS EXPENSIVE. United States Whiskey Tax-Receipts Decreased Over $5,000.00 Washington, D. C.—Uncle Sam's pocketbook suffered a big shrinkage because of the prohibition wave during the fiscal year ending July 30, last, during which period there was a decrease of $5,290,773 in whisky tax receipts, as shown by the preliminary report of the internal revenue bureau, just issued by Acting Commissioner Robert Williams, Jr. Whisky tax collections last year were $134,868,034, as against $140,158,807 for the preceding year. The receipts of beer and other fermented liquors amounted to $57,456,411, a decrease of $2,351,205 compared with 1908. Internal revenue receipts from all sources were $148,219,719. The government expended approximately $4,976,000 in collecting its internal revenue. LINCOLN PENNIES ISSUED. In Honor of 100th Anniversary of War President's Birth. Philadelphia, Pa.—The Philadelphia mint issued the new "Lincoln" pennies, which the treasury department has caused to be designed and struck off in honor of the one hundredth anniversary of the late president's birth. The head of Lincoln, which appears on the coln, was designed from a photograph in the possession of Charles Elliot Norton. The face is relaxed and smiling, the artist having sought to reproduce particularly Lincoln's expression when talking to children. The artist, Victor D. Brenner, is 27 years old, and is a Russian who came to this country as a boy and sold matches in the street and studied art at Cooper's Union. WHITE MOTH PLAGUE New York City Again Visited by the Little Pest. New York City.—What appeared to be a heavy midwinter snowstorm but was really myriads of small white moths visited New York. The little pests swarmed into the brightly-lighted hotels and restaurants and clouded the street lamps, but this time they were accompanied by millions of large brown moths, some of them five inches from tip to tip, and as these fluttered about the lights they looked like bats. A strange feature of these visitations which this summer are worse than ever before and which the entomologists are trying to fathom, is the vanishing of the moths at break of day. No one has found where they go. ROOSEVELT BANQUETED. Elephant Tusk Was Given to Him at Reception. Nairobi, British East Africa—Theodore Roosevelt and his son, Kermit, were the guests of honor at a public banquet given in Nairobi. An address of welcome to the former president of the United States was read and afterward handed him, enclosed in a section of elephant tusks mounted in silver and with a silver chath. American residents of the protectorate presented Mr. Roosevelt with a tobacco box made of the hoof of a rhinoceros, silver mounted, the skull of a rhinoceros, also mounted in silver, and a buffalo head. INVENTION WILL CHANGE WARFARE. American Has Wrecked Out a Plan to Paralyze All War Engines. London, England—From an excellent source it has been learned that the reason that the American-government remains apparently so little concerned about the advances in aero-navigation made by foreign experimenters is that an officer of the American Navy, stationed at Fort Omaha, has worked out an electric invention, which is likely to paralyse all other existing or proposed engines of war. The invention, he says, is to be exclusively the property of the United States, and, up to the present, the essential details are carefully guarded. The machine is said to project through the air a column of electric energy of almost any desired strength at any given object for a distance or many hundred yards. The informant, who himself is an expert in war, said: "Such an electric column would queer every mechanism on a warship, stop the engines, annual the dynamos, kill the signaling apparatus, make the guns unworkable, slay hundreds of men by shock alone, and might even magazine its possible titles for offensive warfare are almost unlimited. SCHOOL FOR TUBERCULAR CHILDREN. Novel Institution Opened in Chicago Has Thirty Pupils. Chicago, ill.—Chicago has the distinction of being the first city in the United States to open a school for tubercular children, maintained and supported by the board of education. This novel school, which will resemble a tended city, was opened on the grounds of the Harvard school, Seventh street and Vincennes avenue. The board of education will supply tents, grouns, equipment and teaching services, while the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute will furnish the food, transportation and medical services. The school opened with thirty pupils, selected from a large group of so-called "physically sub-normal children," after a careful examination to determine those best fitted to make the experiment. KNIGHTS COLUMBUS ELECT OFFICERS Flaherty Chosen President By the International Convention at Mobile. Mobile, Ala.—At the second day's session of the supreme council, Knights of Columbus, in twenty-seventh annual session here, the following officers were elected for the ensuing term: James A. Flaherty of Philadelphia, supreme knight; H. M. Carmody, Grand Rapids, Mich.; deputy supreme knight; Daniel J. Callaghan, Washington, national treasurer; W. J. McGulley, New York city, national sectional pollster; Pollyer Boston, national advocate; Dr. E. W. Buckley, Minneapolis, national physician; T. J. McLaughlin, Newark, N. J., national CONTROLS SPEED OF AUTOMOBILES. Invention Reported by Consul Byington Works. Automatically. Washington, D. C.—A device has been inxerted by which the speed of automobiles may be automatically controlled. A report to this effect is made by Vice Consul H. M. Byington of Bristol, who describes the device as it has been attached to English machines. The attachment removes the clutch when the speed of the car slightly exceeds the arranged limit. When necessary the brake is automatically applied so that the speed is reduced to just below the arranged limit. The brake is then quickly but gently removed and the clutch again put in. Newsy Paragraphs. A prominent life insurance company has perfected elaborate plans for conducting a fight against tuberculosis, not as a philanthropy, but as a cold business proposition. Permission has been asked of the New York state authorities to establish a large rural sanitarium for the benefit of their policy-holders. The company will spend $100,000 a year on this project. Announcement was made that a daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dickey of Canzan, Maine, which is the twenty-second child born in seventeen years. Mrs. Dickey was married when she fourteen years old and Mr. Dickey was only a few years her senior. Not one of the twenty-two children has ever been sick except with childhood alliments. It is stated that the wireless telegraph station on the Elfiff Tower in Paris has been receiving messages from the station at Glace Bay, Canada, a distance of three thousand two hundred and fifty miles. A new installation is being fitted at the Elfiff Tower by means of which it is hoped to establish wireless telegraphic communication with Saigon (Cochin China.) a distance of six thousand eight hundred miles. In recognition of services at the time when Canada was threatened with air invasion by the Fenians in 1866, the Canadian government is about to award to the one hundred and seventy-five living members of the jimpromptu "army" of Toronto, grants of one hundred and sixty acres of land each. The grants are all from the public lands of the Canadian northwest. It was announced that November 1, 2 and 3 had been definitely decided oh as the dates of the lakes-to-the-gulf deep waterway convention to be held in New Orleans this fall. The latest change is made in order to conform with plans of President Taft, who arrives here from St. Louis October 31. ERADICATION OF TICK QUARANTINE DISCONTINUED 71,336 Square Miles of Te reritory Hav Been Released From These Trouble- Washington, D. C.—Encouraging progress has been made in the eradication of cattle ticks from the Southern states. This work, which was begun in the summer of 1906 under an appropriation by congress of $82,500 "to enable the secretary of agriculture to undertake experiment work in cooperation with state authorities in eradicating the ticks transmitting southern cattle fever," is no longer an experiment. The results already accomplished demonstrate that the extermination of this costly pest is not only possible but practicable, though several years may be required for the completion of the work. From January 1 to October 31, 1907, there were released from quarantine or prepared for release in the near future, areas aggregating over 40,000 square miles. This means that the cattle of an area almost as large as the state of Tennessee are, for the first time in years, to have an unrestricted market. While for the most part the state authorities have co-operated, it is unfortunate that in some sections the bureau's work has met with a lack of support and even with active opposition, this condition probably being due to a failure to realize the benefits to follow from the work. It therefore seems best not to resume operations in such localities until public sentiment is raised by using the available funds in sections where the work is appreciated and supported by those most directly interested. The work of exterminating the ticks which are such a detriment to the cattle industry of the south has been continued vigorously and with good results. During less than three years of this work nearly 64,000 square square miles of territory have been freed from these troublesome parasites. This is an area somewhat larger than that of the state of Georgia. This gives assurance of ultimate success, although many years will probably be required for the completion of the work. Much depends upon the amounts appropriated for this work by the states, as well as by the federal government, but more upon the assistance and co-operation of the cattle owners themselves, for without a fair degree of co-operation the eradication of the tick can never be accomplished. Much of the bureau's work for the control and eradication of contagious diseases of live stock has been done in co-operation with state officers. In a few states the authorities are provided with both laws and funds for such work, but in a large majority of the states this is not the case. The bureau has recently collected the laws of the various states bearing on this object, and it found that in most of the states the laws are very equate for the protection of live stock against contagious diseases and that in most cases the appropriations are entirely insufficient for effective work. While many of the states have cooperated very effectively with the federal government in the eradication of sheep scabies, cattle mange and the southern cattle tick, the lack of ability on the part of other states to do their share in such work has resulted in delaying its progress. It is very important for the success of such work, especially with regard to the cattle tick and tuberculosis, that concerns should enact laws giving adequate powers to their officers and should make sufficient appropriations for the work that is to be done. In work of this kind it seems reasonable and proper that the expense should be divided equally between the states and the general government. It is a good plan to mix cowpeas and soy beans half and half. The more erect character of the beans will help to hold up the peas and the crop will be more easily harvested. Try sowing a bush variety of peas among the corn, and when the leaves begin to fall sow crimson clover among them, and you will have a fine crop to turn under for cotton the next season. Also sow crimson clover among the cotton and have the crop to turn for corn. But where peas are sown alone among the corn the best plan is to cut the corn off and shook it and then disk the peas down and sow oats in September to be followed by peas for hay and crimson clover for cotton, and then crimson clover among cotton for corn. CARCER CASES INCREASE Dr. Foota Saye It is the Most Dreaded Sourge in the Country. New York City.—One man in every thirty-two and one woman in every eleven die from cancer, according to Dr. Milton E. Foote. "I have no hesitancy in declaring cancer the worst physical scourge with which we have to contend today," said Dr. Foote in an interview. "Cancer is far more dreaded than tuberculosis; for although the death rate from cancer is not yet so great as that from tuberculosis, it is steadily on the increase, while the great white plague has been partially conquered by medical experimentation and is on the decrease." LATE NEWS NOTES. General. The financial budget of France, besides a progressive tax on incomes, provides for a progressive tax on dogs; ranging from 30 cents on the watchdog to upward of 55 a head on dog "de luxe" when more than fifty are owned by the same person. The wages of the one thousand cotton operatives at North Grovesvorendale, Conn., are to be increased ten per cent August 16. As soon as the new tariff bills get to working a general increase of the six thousand cotton operatives in the county is looked for. Because he was rich enough to buy an automobile and then used it to convey himself to and from work, Otto Klessig, a journeyman plumber, got into trouble with his union and was arrested for trying to whip the secretary of the local branch at Great Fall, Mont. After the purchase of the auto Klesig was fined $25 for using it to ride to and from work, in alleged violation of the union's rules. Washington. A Chautauqua speaker wants the government to employ Mr. Harriman to run the railroads at a salary of $1,000,000 a year. To provide for a survey for some great national highways, including one to be known at the Roosevelt National roadway, Representative Maynary of Virginia introduced a bill appropriating $1,000,000 and authorizing the president to appoint a national roadway commission. The measure proposes to survey roadways to Portland, Me.; Niagara Falls, Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego, Austin and Miami, Fla., from the national capital. They are to be named after Washington, Lincoln, Monroe, Lee, Jefferson, Roosevelt and Grant. All future experiments with the Wright aeroplane, purchased by the signal corps of the army, will be held at Hyde Park, Md., nine miles from Washington. Admiral Sebree's armored cruiser squadron of the Pacific fleet, eight vessels strong, will be absent from the United States on its coming cruise to Asiatic waters a little more than five months. It will visit Honolulu, Admiralty Islands, Manila, where the yearly target practice, will be held, and Hong Kong, Woo Sung, Kobe and Yokahama. Only two vessels, however, will go to the Chinese and Japanese ports, except that the whole squadron will assemble off Yokohama January 19, on which day it will start home, touching at Honolulu and reaching San Francisco February 15. Colonel Hugh L. Scott, the superintendent of the West Point Military academy, has sent the war department a report on the hazing practices at the academy, of which there recently appears to have been a recrèence, with Cadet Rolando Sutton, a brother of former Lieutenant James N. Sutton, whose death at the Naval academy is now being investigated by a court of inquiry, a victim. But for the absence of the following democrats, Bartlett of Nevada, Craig and Hobson of Alabama, Hitchcock of Nebraska, Russell of Texas, and Weisse of Wisconsin, the Taft-Aldrich tariff bill would have been re-committed when the vote was taken on Representative Payne's motion. This would have meant the defeat of the bill, so far as the present session is concerned. If the democrats named had been paired the bill would have been beaten. This is the second time at this session that the democrats have lost the opportunity of playing their trump card. In order to obtain an estimate of the amount of postal business transacted on rural routes, the postoffice department ordered a count to be kept on all rural routes of the number of pieces of mail delivered and collected, the number of money orders sold, the number of pieces of registered mail handled, the value of postage on all mail matter collected, and the value of stamps, stamped envelopes, postal cards and stamped paper sold during the months of March, April and May, and report thereon to be submitted to the department. Practically all of these reports have been received and are being compiled. Postmaster General Hitchcock was advised by the fourth assistant postmasted general that such of the reports as have been examined indicate a very large increase over the last compilation made several years ago, and that patrons of the rural service thoroughly appreciate its value and utility. Secretary James Wilson has no recreations. Secretary McVeagh takes the air in a stylish lanceau; Secretary Meyer is in the saddle at sunrise; Secretary Dickinson walks, rides and drives; Postmaster General Hitchcock prefers an automobile; Secretary Knox golfs; Attorney General Wickersham puts in much of his leisure time at the Chevy Chase club, and Secretary Nagel's evenings are spent at the Metropolitan club. Aeronautics, wireless telegraphy and wireless telephony are to play an important part in the forthcoming maneuvers of the militia and regulars on the coast of Mazachussetta. The signal corps of the army will give instruction in the use of aeroplanes and balloons for scouting purposes and in the manipulation of the wireless system of communication. Theoretical instruction will be given in the use of the Wright aeroplane by signal corps officers who are to be pupils of Wilbur Wright. President Tatt has decided to include Charleston, S. C., in his itinerary for the western and southern trip. He will arrive in Charleston late in the afternoon of November 5, and spend the night there. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society L. B.

"The Greatest Glory Of Any People" By Col. George Harvey, Editor of Harper's Weekly SOL. C. JOHNSON Notary Public. Deeda, Contracts, Wills and Other Legal Forms Prepared and Attested. F to-morrow this Nation should be obliterated, if the earth itself should be destroyed, the greatest glory of any people would be left in these Imperishable words: 119 West St Julian Street "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion; or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." The Chicago Dally News complains of the haphazard way of reporting car accidents in that city and pleads for a law, like New York's, compelling the traction people to register officially within a specified time all casualties. "Chicago," says the News, is behind many other communities with respect to the reporting of accidents on transportation lines. In New York the companies are required to make to the public service commission detailed reports of all accidents. Further, that body has its own investigating force to conduct additional inquiries and to make permanent records of the facts as found, as well as to formulate recommendations, based on study of the facts, for the prevention of accidents in the future." There was the crux of human liberty, there shone the noonday sun from whose face the clouds of the middle ages had been swept away; there flashed the spirit of freedom from which is now springing governments by the people from the land of the Spaniard to the home of Mahomet; but underneath and upholding all was and is the one great overpowering fact that there, for the first time in the history of the world, tolerance was written into the fundamental law of a land guided, guarded and inspired by Christian faith.

This Man Made Many Millionaires, But Never Had Much Money Himself, and is Now Poor and Helpless. Colorado Springs, Col.—Robert Womack, "the father of Cripple Creek," is helpless with paralysis and penniless at No. 906 Grant avenue, this city. Tossing feverishly under the restraint of his afflictions, Bob Womack lay in and day out praying for the day that he shall be made whole. when he shall be able to shoulder a miner's pick again and go forth into the hills to discover another Cripple Creek. a few dollars, went out into the other regions of the Pike's Peak district, intent upon opening up another great mineral-bearing area. One day three years ago, just as success seemed for the second time to be within his grasp, he was returning from the hills. Sitting alone in a seat of a Colorado Midland passenger coach, he raised a window, leaned against the sill and dropped off to sleep. When he awoke he tried to lift his arm, but there was no sign Womack confidently expects the day to come when he will be able to tap another stream of gold that will give to the world millions.' He declares, and his friends believe him, that he knows where there is an enormous deposit of gold ore in the Pike's Peak region that will rival the great Cripple Creek district. Robert Womack's father, now almost ninety years old, came to Colorado in the early sixties and engaged in mining in a small way with varying success. In the early seventies he came to Colorado Springs and homesteaded a tract of Government land south of the city in the Fountain Valley. There the father and sons, William and Robert, engaged in the cattle raising business. After a time they transferred their small herd to the hills and valleys of the Cripple Creek district, but ten years later disposed of their stock. Bob believing that the region possessed mining possibilities, remained and did some prospecting for mineral on his own account. His brother and father returned to their old home, south of Colorado Springs. One day after a few years of wholly unrewarded search Bob found traces of gold in a piece of float rock which he picked up while riding the range with his brother-in-law, Theodore Lowe. Sending Lowe to an assayer at Denver on a six-day horseback trip to have the piece of rock tested, Bob went on about his work, little dreaming of what was in store for him. A few days later Lowe came galloping back into camp, and, watching his opportunity, handed Womack a small slip—an assayer's certificate—which bore the tidings that he had expected for years. The piece of float gave returns of $250 in gold to the ton. Bright and early the next morning Lowe and Womack set out from camp, ostensibly to round up a bunch of cattle, but in reality to visit the scene of this discovery, in what is now known as Poverty Gulch, just outside of the limits of the present town of Cripple Creek. Once on the ground, Lowe expressed the opinion that they were on a wild-goose chase and went on about his ranch work, but Bob was persistent and stayed with it, exercising the same patience that had characterized his early search for the elusive gold. This was in the winter of 1900-01. In January, Womack dug a prospect hole on what is now known as the El Paso lode of the Gold King property, which soon developed into one of the biggest mines in the great gold camp. A few days later he struck a bonanza vein which glistened with sylvanite. He could not stand prosperity in those days. When sober he was modesty personified, but while in Colorado Springs one day to interest friends in his new discovery he "tanked up" and disposed of his bonanza for $500 cash. His mind fairly crazed by drink and success, Bob jumped on his broncho and rode through the streets, waving his revolver in the air and proclaiming his secret. The next day witnessed one of the biggest rushes to the scene of his discovery that the West has ever seen. It is said to Womack's credit that he has never touched a drop of liquor since those reckless days. Two or three days later, when he sobered up, Womack returned to the district, but only to find that the best mining property had been located by others. The camp was then literally swarming with humanity. He staked out a claim or two, but they proved to be worthless and within a short time he was compelled to go to work at day wages again to make a living. He never complained, however, and many times, after saying FEEDING SCHOLARS IN FRANCE Designed to Supply Poor Pupils With Hot and Nourishing Food. In the French city of Nantes the municipal experiment of serving noonday meals to school children at low cost was begun a few weeks ago, and has proved eminently successful. The "cantines" are installed in each non-sectarian (public) school and are intended to furnish poor children with hot and nourishing food. In one of the rooms of the school there is a refectory where the meals take place. At five minutes to 11 the children are released from their classes. They go into the courtyard, where, under the care of one of the school-masters, they wash their hands at the washstands. Then at 11 o'clock they place themselves in regular order and walk into the refectory. hurt, there being no difference between the one who pays and the one who does not. The meal lasts three-fourths of an hour. Two of the older children are appointed to watch over the younger and see that they all secure their food. One of the masters also superintends the meals. The weekly bill of fare has been arranged as follows: Monday: Cabbage, soup, sausage and beans. Tuesday: Bean soup, stew, jam. Wednesday: Meat soup, rice, pie. Thursday: No school takes place. Friday: Vegetable soup, codfish, rice. Saturday: Meat soup, sausages or blood pudding, beans. Each child, before entering this room, gives a check to the master. This check is given to the poorer children in an unobserved manner and without charge, and is sold at fifteen centimes (three cents) to the scholar whose parents are more able to pay. Thus the children's pride is not a few dollars, went out into the other regions of the Pike's Peak district, intent upon opening up another great mineral-bearing area. One day three years ago, just as success seemed for the second time to be within his grasp, he was returning from the hills. Sitting alone in a seat of a Colorado Midland passenger coach, he raised a window, leaned against the sill and dropped off to sleep. When he awoke he tried to lift his arm, but there was no sign of life in it. He was paralyzed. Since that time Womack, together with his aged father, has been solely dependent upon a faithful sister, Elizabeth Womack, who has been forced to run a boarding-house to make a living for her father and brother. There is an interesting sidelight on Womack's discovery of gold in the Cripple Creek district. Search for the metal in that region dates back almost to the arrival of the first white man. Repeated trials were made prior to 1901 to find "pay rock," but so cunningly had the storehouse of wealth been concealed that even the most expert miners were deceived. There are thousands of Colorado people who remember the mad rush to Mount Pisgah, at the foot of which the city of Cripple Creek is now situated, in April, 1885. A rich deposit of gold was found at that time, but it had been placed there by human hands. "salted." There was gold in untold quantities within a stone's throw of the place where this piece of knavery had been practiced. Many who rushed there during the Munt Pisgh excitement pitched their tents on the very sites of what are now some of the biggest mines in the world. Many an old prospector examined the outcropping at that time and somebody was even confident enough to run a tunnel into the hill directly over the spot where one of the richest deposits in the district has since been opened. Nobody, however, succeeded in finding gold in paying quantities. The ore is unlike any other known to miners and is deposited in such an unusual manner that nobody dreamed of finding it until Womack tapped the golden stream. In opening some of the mines in the early days ore that was worth hundreds of dollars to the ton was thrown on the dunn as worthless. Mount Pisgah, where the first wildcat mining scheme in that region was promoted, is now used as Cripple Creek's graveyard.—St. Louis Republic. Yankees in Mexico City. "It is estimated that there are more than 8000 Americans in Mexico City alone, to say nothing of the thousands scattered through the country," said B. M. Hubbard, of El Paso, at the Burns Hotel. "It is a great country, and it is flourishing under Diaz. Business and professional men from the States have done well down there, and after becoming acquainted and acclimated they are satisfied to stay in the southern republic. The market is good and there are many American houses that have established branches in the big city. "But of all the goods made in this country the most salable in Mexico is our shoes. There is not a good shoe factory in the land of the Aztec, and American manufacturers who have gone into that market have done very well."—Detroit Free Press. Among the patients in the private ward of a Philadelphia hospital there was recently a tysty old millionaire of that city, whose case gave his physician considerable difficulty at first. "Well," asked the crusty patient one morning, "how do you find me now, eh?" "You're getting on fine," responded the doctor, rubbing his hands with an air of satisfaction. "Your legs are still swollen; but that doesn't trouble me." "Of course it doesn't!" howled the old man. "And let me tell you this: If your legs were swollen, it wouldn't trouble me, either!"—Lipinpott's. hurt, there being no difference between the one who pays and the one who does not.

The food is cooked in the municipal free soup houses, called Fourleau Municipal. From there it is brought to the schools, where, if necessary, it is heated again before being served to the children.

One of the most recent designs is shown below, containing a novel improvement patented by a New York man. In this box couch the box used for holding the garments and other articles is attached to rods so arranged that the 图 box is lifted up from the bottom of the couch when the top of the latter is raised. It thus becomes an easy matter for the person using the couch to readily reach the box to get at the contents. In addition it becomes unnecessary to move the couch away from the wall in order to raise the top. The box couch is thus rendered more convenient and saves disagreeable stooping and bending.—Washington Star. You cannot lead men into truth by tricks—Aeson. b.s Gold From Sunken Ship. In the most bolsterous part of Mount's Bay, and almost unapproachable except by sea, lies Dollár Cove, where for the past three months a treasure seeking expedition, sent down by a London syndicate, has been quietly working. The company of seakers some three or four weeks ago suspended operations in order to get more powerful pumps and gear. These are in working order, and although the salvors have little to say about the matter, they appear to be hopeful of success. In the year 1788 a Spanish ship went ashore there with about twenty tons of specie aboard. Everybody who lives on the coast is familiar with the appearance of the dollars, as large numbers have been washed up on the beach from time to time. Gold pieces are said to have been discovered recently by people walking on the beach. — London Chronicle. Nerer Got Started. Mr. Morse having bought a new bicycle of the most improved pattern presented his old one to Dennis Halloran, who did errands and odd jobs for the neighborhood. "You'll find the wheel useful when you're in a hurry, Dennis," he said. The young Irishman was loud in his thanks, but regarded the wheel doubtfully. "I mistrust 'twill be a long time before I can ride it," he said. "Why, have you ever tried?" asked Mr. Morse. "I have," said Dennis, gloomily.

For a while she bravely withstood the temptation. Finally, however, her resolution wavered and she took a big red apple from the plate. She walked away with it, but before putting it to her lips her courage returned and she quickly replaced the apple on the plate, saying as she did so, "Aha!

One day she saw a lovely golden butterfly and she chased it from flower to flower. At last she found herself in a strange wood. She started to cry, but she thought she would ask the flowers around her to help her. So she went to a lovely lily and asked for a night's lodging. But the lily only shut her petals tight and would not let her enter. She then tried the other flowers, but they all did the same. Just as she was going to give up she came to a rose and asked for a night's lodging. The rose opened her petals wide and let the fairy enter. In the morning the fairy awoke and asked the rose what she could do for her. "Make me a fairy," said the rose. The fairy granted her wish and they lived happy in fairyland ever after.—Elizabeth MacAlpin, in the Brooklyn Eagle. THE RACE. Once upon a time there stood in the hallway a great tall grandfather's clock. This clock had a very large face with big black numbers standing for the hours and long pointed hands and quite a long pendulum that swung back and forth very slowly and said tick, tock, tick, tock, as told by Genevieve Kennear, in the Kindergarten Primary Magazine. And over the mantel sat another clock, only it was much smaller. Its face was smaller and its hands were smaller, too, and it didn't have any pendulum at all, because it didn't need any, and it said tick, tock, tick, tock very much faster than the grandfather's clock. One day these two clocks were talking together and the clock on the mantel said, "It has always seemed strange to me that you should go so very slowly, for it is such a long way around your face. It must take you ever so long to go around even once. I have often listened to your tick, tock, tick, tock, and wondered how you ever keep any time at all, you move so slowly." "Well," said the grandfather's clock, "this is the way I have been ticking for a great many years, and people have always said that I kept very good time." "Maybe people do think so," said the little clock, "but you can't possibly keep as good time as I do, for I move so much faster and haven't nearly so far to go around." Just then a lady came in and laid her small gold watch down on the table. "What is that I hear you talking "What is that I hear you talking about?" said the watch. "Oh," said the little clock, "I have just been telling our tall friend over there that he could never keep as good time as I do because he moves so slowly." "That's nothing," said the watch, "neither of you can go half as fast as I can. You move slowly enough," said the watch; looking at the little clock, "but as for that grandfather's clock it must surely be hard for him to even try to keep the time." "Well," said the grandfather's clock, "we will have a race and see which one keeps the best time. When I strike twelve we will start and see which one gets around to one first." "This is very foolish," said the watch, "but then I may as well show you two clocks how much faster I can go." Dong, dong, dong twelve times went the grandfather's clock. "We're on," he cried and all three started ticking, just as fast 'as ever they could. The big clock went tick tock, tick tock just as it had nl always gone and the watch went tick, tick, tick, tick just as fast as ever it could, but try with all its might it just could not go any faster than it always had. But they all went on ticking just the same and pretty soon the watch was almost at 1 o'clock. "I've finished," cried the watch. "So have I," cried the little clock. "Dong!" went the grandfather's clock. All three of them finished at just the same time. "Well, I nev- er," said the watch, "how did you ever do it?" "I don't know," said the grandfather's clock; "I guess I must have taken very much longer steps at each tick than you did." "I guess you did, too," said the small clock on the mantel. TOBY AND TABBY. Toby was a little brown rat terter, who hived at Farmer Brown's, and whose especial business it was to prevent the increase of rats and mice at the stables and barns. But just now Toby had a family of four puppies, and found it very difficult to keep watch of the rats when her family required so much of her attention. Old Tabby looked on disgusted. She had four kittens, which no one would think of comparing with these pups, and she was not at all "set up" over them. But kittens were rather an old story with Tabby, and this particular set were the cause of a great deal of trouble. Tabby had been allowed to lie under the kitchen stove before they came, and she did not see why she could not keep her kittens there. Again and again had small Jennie Brown carried them to the woodhouse and fixed as cozy a nest as any sensible cat could ask, but Mrs. Tabby would carry them back to the kitchen stove. One-raly day, when it seemed that everything had gone wrong at the Brown home, it rained so hard no work could be done in the garden, and the old hen who had hatched turkeys took them walking in the rain, when, if she had an atom even of hen sense, she should have known that turkeys could not stand that. The chase after the old hen and her turkeys had exhausted the last mite of Mrs. Brown's patience when, as she came into the kitchen, she saw the old cat with her kittens under the stove again. It was too much. Mrs. Brown seized the broom and swept cat and kittens out into the yard. My! how surprised and angry Tabby was. She stood up and took a look at the kittens, and no doubt thought, "This is all your fault." Then she shook her feet and walked back into the kitchen and sat down under the stove. Toby had witnessed the affair, and when the mother cat walked off, leaving her babies in the rain, she could not understand it. She walked around the crying kittens, and then went whining to the open door and looked at Tabby. But Tabby only blinked and looked determined. She was comfortable under the kitchen stove, and she did not propose taking care of kittens that made so much trouble. Toby walked, back and forth between the crying kittens and the door, whining and trying to make the old cat see her duty, but all to no purpose. Tabby had enough of those kittens. Then Toby picked the kittens up one by one, and put them in the nest with her puppies, and never again did the old cat go near them. Toby raised both pups and kittens, and seemed at proud of the adopted babies as of her own.—Home Herald. MILDRED'S SURPRISE. One bright June morning Mildred was awakened very early. She sat up in bed to rub her eyes, and heard something moving near her. She lifted her pillowcase and there, in a thy bunch, was something gray. It wrigled out and came up to where Mildred sat. At first she was frightened, but seeing he did no harm, she began to pet him. The door to the bedroom opened, and Mildred's mother came into the room. "Happy birthday, Mildred," she said, coming up to her. "Oh, mamma, see this funny little muff that I found under my pillow this morning!" exclaimed Mildred. "Yes, dear, that squirrel is your birthday present from papa." "I must hurry up and dress, so I can thank him for it," she said. "What are you going to name him?" asked Mildred's mother. After a few moments she replied; "I guess I will call him 'Muff' because he looks just like one when he curls up." When she was all dressed she ran up-to her father and thanked him, for the squirrel. "I forgot that to-day was my birthday," she said, "but after this I guess I shall always remember." — Helen Jansson, in the Brooklyn Eagle. Bad Debts. Credit is the beginning of progress, prosperity and bad debts. Front implies foolishness, and bad debts are the fruitage. Bad debts are an exception to the law whereby cold contracts and heat expands. They are contracted or expanded simultaneously, and in all seasons alike. Bad debts are eventually paid by good people. They are the inheritance tax which the meek have to pony up before coming into their, own, for the earth falls to no man until he has been cheated out of at least three times as much as it is worth, in proof of his humility. Bad debts have brought motoring within reach of the masses, not to mention the lesser blessings of peace and plenty, with nothing to give up for these but the fanciful, comfort of a clear conscience—Buck.

During the week one institution alone spent $75.00 for carriages for this purpose. There is no common sense displayed in the wanton spending of such a large sum of money. Our societies should learn to make less show. A few evenings ago, while a number of some of our well known young men were holding a meeting, without the least notice they were pounced upon by a squad of policemen. Not one of these young men is of the class that gives the police the least trouble, and for them to be thus humiliated, is felt keenly by their friends. THE TRIBUNE can assert that the present administration will not stand for such an action as was perpetrated upon them, and should the matter be presented to the proper authorities our assertion would be proven. A Ticket and Not the Pass- Word will Admit You to The Grand Lodge "Savannah, Ga., Aug. 2 1900. "Editor TRUHUNE: "Kindly inform me if it is a fact that at the Odd Fellows Grand Lodge session in Albany, that those with the proper pass-word will not be admitted without a ticket? I am not an Odd Fellow but am conversant with the working of the Masons and the K. of P., and know that their members are admitted by a pass word and not a ticket. In reply to the above we wish to state that we have been reliably informed that no one will be admitted to the Grand Lodge at Albany next week unless a proper ticket is shown, discarding altogether the pass-word. We make this positive assertion because we were informed by a delegate that he had secured his ticket of admission, and we were also informed that if we were in favor of the administration we could also secure some of these tickets. We remember well that about eight years ago the District Grand Secretary, Mr. Davis, assailed in a brutal manner, the lamented Col. Deveaux, through the columns of his paper, because he issued tickets of admission to the Republican State Convention that was held in Atlanta. This fact can be recalled by every Republican of that time. Now comes the very same man issuing tickets for a fraternal gathering. If this is not inconsistency, what is? —Ed. The Two Sides of It. "A crust of bread, A corner to sleep in; A minute to laugh, An hour to weep in; A pint of joy to a peck of trouble, And never a smile but the frowns come double. These are the etchings of the pen of our own Paul Lawrence Dunbar, and we both agree and differ. In fact, we have agreed already for we have said:— A float on the sea Oft time—a mere vapor; A light on the lea From a flickering taper; A taste of the pain Of a promise unkept The trace of a stain On a face tear swept, That is life Both of these definitions apply to all manners of human beings. For the rich man worries ove h ownings while the poor man worries over his owings, and while there is a difference in the causes, there is no difference in the effect. There is but little difference even in the etymology of the words. For, if in the word owing the "N" is inserted or substituted, the words themselves would be the same. The causes differ in the "N," while the "ends" of the objects effected are the same. The absence of the "N" in owing precludes the possibility of its being "owning," while owing and "owning" bring worry that hasten the "end" to the career of all men. The two words, though different, bring about an inevitable equality. The truth of this statement is verified by a mediocro song wright, who wrote:— 'Ill sing you a song of the world and its ways, And the many strange people you meet From the rich man that rolls in his millions of wealth, To the poor straggling wretch on the street Though a man, may be poor and in tatter and rags, We know that we should not despise; But think of the adage, remember kind friend, That six feet of earth make us all of one size" No man escapes his share of woe. The man that owes and the man that owns must take his dose alike. There is a common solace that is open to all. It comes through a common medium and the rich man and the poor man, if they obtain it, must obtain it through a common medium. Our parents knew this medium much better than we do, and regardless of the fact that we are released from the burdens which they so meekly bore, if we sing at all, we sing in ridicule the old song: "Ef erligon was a thing dat money cud buy, De rich would live an' de po' would die:" "Dust thou art, to dust returneth, Was not spoken of the soul." Was not spoken of the soul, may not have been in their reckoning; but the fact was with them; however, so tersely expressed in the song *Low, brotheren, low, low is de way. De way ter git ter heben's by faith an unble prayer was ever present,with them. It formed a part of the warp and woof of their life. This "way" is the only and it must be to the rich man and poor man, alike. It is a lonely but not a lonesome way. Lonely, only in point travellers for it has been wisely said "Broad is the road that leads to death, And thousands walk together there; But wisdom shows a narrow path, With here and there a traveller." We said in the beginning that we agreed and disagreed with Poet Dunbar. We quoted from ourselves to show that we agreed with him. But we would be optimistic, charging the pessimism of his lines and others to "poetic license" that give unrestricted liberties. For we verily believe the rich man and the poor are happy in proportion to their contributions to the happiness of others are within the scope of both classes of men. It is written and it is a fact that To the glass you'll meet a smile." then It will measure back to you." if you search for trouble you will find it, for it is just over the way, grinning and chuckling to make you see it. The world is so chocked and stacked with it that one should look for it only to avoid its baneful touch. Big Pythian Demonstration in Beaufort, S. C. From Sunday night to Thursday night Beaufort was ablaze with Pythian decorations. This is the first time the Pythian Grand Lodge has ever met here. Eighty-two lodges were represented by 325 delegates and past chancellors. The Grand Lodge completed its work Wednesday night and Thursday was devoted to the parade contest, drill and baseball playing. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon the procession formed at the Odd Fellows Hall, marched down Carteret and then up Bay Street to the Park. There were in line 6 companies from different parts of the state, and one company from Savannah, Georgia, and the Jenkin's Orphanage band composed of boys and three brass bands one from Columbia, one from Savannah, and the Beaufort band which led the procession. Four companies took part in the prize drill and went through the maneuvers in a most creditable manner. The prizes were awarded as follow: 1st, Prize, $75, to Beaufort company. 2nd, Prize $50, to Columbia company. 3rd, Prize, $25 to Aikén company. Both the 1st and 2nd individual prizes were won by the Columbia company. The reputation of Beaufort for hospitality was well sustained, the white materially helping the colored people to care for the visitors, and all deserve great praise. During the week there were between 7,000 and 8,000 strangers here, and yesterday, at the time of the procession there were over 3,000 persons on the streets. With all that has been going on not a noisy or drunken person has been seen. The celebration ended last night with a grand banquet at the Harbison campus. The next meeting will be held at Greenville. S. C., July 1910.—Beaufort County News. For the Truth. Editor TRIBUNE: Please allow me space in your valuable paper and statement in regards of Dr. Daniels and blim supporting the Hon. Joseph B. Foraker at the last Re- publican National Convention held at Chicago. I see in the Atlanta Independent of July gist that Dr. Daniel was one of the Hon. Forakers' strongest supporters, which is untrue and no one knows it to be untrue any better than Ben Davis and M. Independent. The old bloody death was overwhelmingly in majority for Foraker, nearly every delegate that attended the Convention that elected him for the National Convention was for Foraker, and I guess Daniels thought he was for Foraker until he arrived in Chicago. I was with Dr. Daniel nearly all the time, night and day until our votes were recorded; therefore Mr. Editor I know where of I speak. It seems since Ben Davis and The Independent have joined hands with Tom Hardwick, Benn Tillman, Hoke Smith and Vardamam he varies in true statements of facts. I am not writing this statement to injure Dr. Daniels' candidacy for the office he now aspires for. Dr. Daniels is a jolly good fellow and I hope he will succeed in his election. Yours truly, M. G. Parker, Delegate for the Republicau Nst, Con. Odd Fellows Official Knute to Albany. The delegates and ladies of the H. H. of Ruth have selected the Seaboard Air Line as its official route to Albany for the Grand Lodge session next week. The delegates will leave from Union Station at 8 o'clock city time on Monday morning in a special coach. All delegates can secure their tickets this morning or on Sunday between 9 a. m., and 1 p. m., railroad time, by going to the S.A. L. office on Bull street. Secure your tickets before Monday morning. Ministers of Many Creeds Meet. At the Interdenominational meeting last Tuesday a large number of the preachers of the city gathered and such discussion followed it was not mine to listen to too much in same day. The topic "Is the preaching of today equals the preaching of the past if not; why." Rev. J W Hill opened and said the preaching of today was more learned but less Christ in it, and hence there was a weakness in all our church effort. Dr. L A Townsley followed and spoke earnestly and eloquently in the way mapped out by Rev. Hill. All went well until Rev. S T Redd turned the theological switch board and said no, the preaching of today is more effectual. More money and men are being placed on altar today than in any age of the world's history. Then came Dr. E D Giddens, Dr. J A Lindsay and Dr. P W Greatheart joined in with Dr. Redd, Suffice it when you see a Gidden and Lindsay and a Greatheart something is being said; that's all. Revs. Wm. Brien and Chatman in favor of the ministry of the past. Rev. H L Haywood joined in with the side of today. Prince Mohammed of South Africa was introduced and made a telling speech in favor of today. At the close of his speech Dr Townsley found the preponderance of the speeches against him, ask to conclude which was grantee by Dr. JH May, our impartial president. He made a splendid defense, but like a back wood's judge, while the lawyer was making a splendid appeal said "you may raise collection, but I have set this case against you. Prof. Gadson and Rev. Wm. Gilyard, the later of Guyton, Ga., were introduced and words of commendation fell from both of their hips. Keep your eye on our next meeting Tuesday after the first Sunday in Sept.

Ps 37:1-37 The text was from Ps 37:2. The subject was "David's Prayer." The sermon was a beautiful one to Christians. The lesson drawn from Absalom was very striking. Absalom rebelled against his father, David and caused him much grief, in the end Absalom was killed. The lesson to the young part of the congregation was a noble one, teaching that they must honor their parents. The choir sang "Lead me to the Rock." While this beautiful song was sung same came forward and knelt at the mercy seat. They did not wait to be asked. Rey Sims read the beautiful hymn "Show pity Lord." Quite a host knelt for pray. Deacon Merchison prayed a soul stirring prayer. You are cordially juvetted to attend our services at any Jim. Monumental Notes.

The attendance at the communion services was very large. The sermon was ably preached by Rev. Burns. At the night services Rev. W T Moore preached. In his usual masterful and explanatory method of preaching he stamped an impression upon the hearts and minds of his hearers.

Copious showers of the Holy Ghost were in evidence at the communion service on last Sunday afternoon at the First African Baptist church. Rev Daughtry asked God's blessings on the bread and Kev Walker asked the blessings on the wine. The rostum seated a number of visiting ministers and the front seats were crowded with visiting deacons. We are always glad to welcome these brethren. Three candidates were baptised in the morning. The pastor for WL Jones preached an afternoon at the evening service. The sermon characterized the suffering and death that Jesus bore for our sins and at the conclusion of our service there was not an eye than dread spread a sympathizing and sent tear. The church excursion on Saint Catherine Island was an ideal trip and a crowning success. The committee headed by Deacon B H Maxwell deserve credit for the success of this outing. The little ones enjoyed themselves on the Sunday School outing at Dauftius on Tuesday immensely. The funeral of brother Henry Carter took place from the church on last Sunday morning and was well attended by friends and the several organizations of which he was a member. Rev Jones, the pastor, officiated. We deplore the death of such valuable members as brother Carter, yet our mourn with his widow and friends we can but say "Lord Thy will be done."

About six weeks ago each member was asked to pledge a dollar for this day. The pastor appointed 100 persons as captains to solicit the dollar money, which has created much enthusiasm. A number of envelopes have been distributed and no doubt will be turned in, some with neat sums. Each captain is busy as a bee and no doubt the contest will be a warm one. Members see that your captain leads. St. Phillips Dots.

During the session of the late combine Convention of Sunday School, Allen Christian Endeavor Leagues and Missionary Societies of the West Savannah district at Halcyondale, Ga, St Philips delegation came near taking all honors they simply captured every thing in sight and it shows that the business of the various departments are conducted in a systematic way and it goes without saying that St Philip is the Banner Church through out the Convention; the members of St Philip are under many obligations for the way and manner their delegation were treated by the members and friends of that noted church We note that Bros 8 J Howard and J F Butler have returned from New York greatly benefited by their trip Our choir seems to be renovating their music the various selections rendered for the past few Sundays show that they have some new music and is very much enjoyed by the congregation at this time of the year.

No death in recent years of a young person called for more expressions of sincere regret than that of Miss Viola Foster which occurred on Monday just before noon, after an illness of less than a week. Death came to her when it was least expected, and for one so young and useful, caused all who knew her to feel sorrowful. Miss Foster was the youngest daughter of Deacon Oliver Foster, and was a model young lady. She was active in her church and and the Sunday School. She was also a member of Electa Chapter No, 1, O. E. S. and Household of Ruth No. 438. In each institution she has left her impress for good. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon from the F. B. B. Church, and the pastor and several ministers paid glowing tributes to her virtues. The funeral was largely attended and many floral offerings were made. At the cemetery the O. E. S. conducted its beautiful and impressive ceremony, also the Ruth. Miss Foster leaves a father, two sisters, Miss Bessie E. Foster and Mrs. Anna East, two brothers, many other relatives and a host of friends to mourn her death. The bereaved family have the sympathy of friends. Local Dots.

Jeffries and Jack Johnson, for the heavyweight championship of the world, were taken when Jeffries, on his arrival in New York city from the west, posted $5,000 as a forfeit to bind a match with the negro pugilist for a fight of anywhere from twenty to a hundred rounds. Jeffries insists that the fight shall be before the club offering the largest purse, and that when articles are signed an additional forfeit of $5,000 shall be posted. The whole sum of $20,000 is to go to the winner of the mill. Jeffries will leave for a short European trip in a few days. He will visit the springs of Carlsbad, in Bohemia, and will do a little preliminary training there. He plans to be ready to fight within five months. On posting his forfeit, Jeffries issued the following statement: "After decisively convincing myself that it is easily possible for me to defend my title as champion of the world in as good a condition as ever before in my life, I am today posting my forfeit to meet the claimant of the title, Jack Johnson. In reference to those who have been skeptical about my intention of meeting Johnson, I wish to say that when first recalled from retirement, I said that I would never agree to oppose anybody in the prize ring until I was convinced that I could regain my former physical condition. After being absolutely satisfied of the same, I stated I would post my forfeit at the expiration of my theatrical contract. My theatrical contract having expired, I am posting my money, sincerely hoping that Johnson is as anxious for the match as he has made it appear, and that he will be as ready to live up to his statements as I am." "I'll leave for New York at once, and cover that forfeit," said Jack Johnson, the colored champion pugilist of the world, when shown a dispatch to the effect that Jeffries had posted a forfeit in New York of $3,000 to meet him. Johnson said he was not surprised to hear that Jeffries had posted the forfeit. "I expected he would do something of the kind," said Johnson, "as a sort of bluff, and to make good his statement that he would fight me. I will be ready to fight almost any time. I think I am in condition now to clean up Jeffries within fifteen rounds." Johnson said he preferred to meet Jeffries in San Francisco. To the surprise of every lover of out-door sports in Georgia, the house committee, on education favorably reported on the bill introduced by Representative Adams, prohibiting intercollegiate games on the part of teams representing colleges of Georgia, unless these games are played on the team's own campus. A vigorous fight will be made on this bill and its enemies believe that it will be killed. It is necessary, ever, for those who fear collegiate athletics to make some immediate movement to save sports in Georgia colleges. Governor Shaffroth of Colorado declares that the law against price-fixing will be enforced during his term, and that there will be no fight between "Philadelphia" Jack O'Brien and Jim Flynn in the auditorium in Denver. The Denver Christian Citizenship union is also demanding that the law be enforced and is depending upon the governor to act. Option on the Memphis Southern League franchise has been given by F. P. Coleman, holding a controlling interest, to a party of Chicago lumbermen for a stated sum of $25,000. Ill health of Coleman is the cause for the change. The Brooklyn National Club has bought left feilder Wheat of the Mobile team. New Orleans released Bartley to Atlanta because of laziness. Since joining the latter team he has more than made good. He is the league's winning pitcher and helped materially to put Atlanta in first place. A month ago Atlanta was making attenuous efforts to strengthen at first base and in right field. Then all of a sudden her pitches got going good and winning their games, and it was thought no new men were needed. Should their pitchers have a bad streak you may look for a drop. Bob Thackham, left-handed pitcher for Greenville, Carolina association team, who has won the majority of the games he has pitched, has been signed by the Spartanburg team of the same league. A unique feat in baseball, a triple play unassisted, was commemorated at the Cleveland, Ohio, baseball park when Neal Ball, who recently, when the Cleveland team was playing Boston, put out three of the Red Sox onslaught, was presented with a beautiful goal, helped by the admiring fans of Cleveland, by Johnson, and of the American league, who made the presentation, has declared that it was the first unassisted triple play recorded in big league history. Baseball clubs in the Tennessee and Virginia Coal Fields league have commenced competition for a silver loving cup, the gift of Fritzi Schneff, the song bird, who is resting in the mountains near Bristol, Tenn., at the bungalow of her husband, John Fox, Jr., the writer, Mrs. Fox has become interested in baseball although a foreigner by birth, and in an exciting extra innings contest last week she was the most conspicuous person on the grounds owing to her interest taken in the game. John A. Heydler, secretary and treasurer of the National League of Professional Baseball clubs, has assumed charge of the business affairs of the league. Umpire Wastervelt appears to have given general satisfaction in the South Atlantic league, which has a hard time getting good umpires. There is lots of promising material in the Sally league and the scouts of the big-league would do well to look at the South Atlantic league over well.

Bowen second baseman zham team, has been The Southern League twirlers are getting better and better, as can be seen by the scarcity of .300 hitters there is this season. There is not a man who is batting .300 who has been in enough games to warrant his being there. The real leader of the league is McGilvray, the right fielder of the Barons. He is batting .285. Noah Henline, the Birmingham left fielder, has the honor of being the first Southern League player to pass the next marsh in .312. McLewisport is the next man in the line, with 92 hits. Dick Bayless, the fast little center fielder of the Atlanta team, is the leading run-getter to date, having made 54 trips to the pan. Persons of Montgomery is second with 51 tallies. The Montgomery Baseball Association is practically on the market and it is understood that Chattanooga enthusiasts are dickering for the franchise and team of the local club. "We are making no bones about it," said Robert J. Chambers, president of the Montgomery Baseball Club, when asked for an expression on the matter of selling the Montgomery franchise to the highest bidders. "It is a fact, and a deplorable one, but it has hastened by necessity. In supplementing whatever reasons Montgomery stockholders might have for disposing of the franchise, as discussed at a meeting of the board of directors recently, Chambers noted that for most of past the attendance has been gradually falling off, with the result that it is far below the required mark to constitute success. The final result, he says, is that there must either be relief secured by the sale of the franchise, or relief from the sportsmen of Montgomery in more regularly attending the games. A baseball umpire has no legal right to draw a revolver for protection even if he sees forty or more infurred fans rolling up their sleeves and rushing toward him. This, in effect, was the decision of Municipal Judge Goodnow in Chicago court, when he fined R. L. O'Keefe, 19 years old, an umpire of the Chicago Amateur League, the cost of court on a charge of disorderly conduct. The Douglasville baseball team doubts the right of the Atlanta Athletic Club to the amateur championship of Georgia, and challenges them to a series of games to be played in Douglasville to settle this claim. James J. Jeffries, the heavyweight boxer, did not appear in New York City for the benefit of crippled children at the Polo Grounds because he was operated on the preceding night for an abscess which had been adding to the worries of the former champion. His abscess was a boll that had been enlarged," said Jeffries. "You know that even a boll on a strong man's neck is often very troubleome." "Ty" Cobb's fleetness on the bases has at last been accounted for. He wears a separate pair of playing pants to bat. This may explain why Cobb has been getting a few stolen bases this year, for some of the fielders are a trifle shake-y, and Tyrus takes advantage of this weakness. As the season wears on the batting phenoms of the big league drop out of the head of the percentage column. The real leaders, by virtue of their great ability, are beginning to manifest themselves. It is Cobb in the American and Wagner in the National League. A charter was granted the Macon Baseball Association by Judge W. H. Felton, and the owners met and made Newt Etheridge president. The new organization will push for success of the Macon Club. Jack O'Brien's ladylike fighting came to grief in Denver, Colo., in a six round bout with Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, who punched him all around the ring. About 6,000 persons saw the fight. No decision is permitted in Denver, but there was no doubt about the verdict of the crowd, which was in favor of Flynn. It was not until the fifth round that O'Brien was able to pull himself together and do any semblance of damage. A trade has been made between the manager and owners of the Macon ball club and the Atlanta club, by which Dick Rohn goes to the Central City and Jim Laffite becomes the property of Atlanta. Frank Huelman of New Orleans is the klingun'home run hitters in the Southern League, with four circuit clouts.

The Clan-Na-Gael track, and field games at Celtic Park, L. L., were productive of a new world's record in the two hops and jump. Daniel F. Ahern of the Irish-American Athletic Club covered 50 6 1-2 inches, which is 6 inches more than the recognized record of the world made by Dan Shanahan of Limerick, Ireland, nearly 20 years ago.

LOSS FROM BLACK ROOT LOSS FROM BLACK ROOT Legislature Has Been Asked, to Appropriate Ten Thousand Dollars to Fight This Disease. Atfanta, Ga.—From the reports coming in from various sections of the state in regard to the increased damage done to the growing cotton crop by the black root disease, it now appears that this will cause a loss to the Georgia, farmer of over a million dollars this year. This startling statement was made by State Entomologist E. L. Worsham in discussing the ravages of the black root, which is proving so disastrous to the cotton crop throughout the state of Georgia. He is making a strong fight for the appropriation of $10,000, asked for in the bill by Representative Henederson of Irwin one of the largest cotton growers in the south. Professor Worsham says that black root is worse than the boll weevil, in that when a stalk of cotton is attacked by black root the whole stalk dies, thereby losing all the product in cotton, while the boll weevil gets only a certain per cent of the bolls. With the appropriation asked for, Professor Worsham believes that a resistant variety of cotton may be seured, which will ward off this dread disease, and the department will be able to put more experts in the field to give the farmers first-hand assistance. In summary to the cotton crop deals the planters a double blow now, for not only does he lose in the price of the fleecy staple, but he also loses in the products of the cotton seed, which have come to be such a valuable part of the cotton crop. The passage of the bill, which means so much to the Georgia farmer, is being awaited with interest. BIG OAT CROP IN TURNER. All the Crops of the County Have Been Large. This Year. Ashburn, Ga.—Much has been seen in print about the mammoth crops being harvested through Georgia by the most direct and especially of the oat and corn crop. In this-respect Turner county yields to none. The greatest oat crop ever seen in this section was harvested this year. Honorable A. S. Bussey, residing a couple of miles from Ashburn, gathered from one acre of oats eighty-five and one-half bushels. He harvested and threshed about three thousand bushels of oats. He now has corn standing on the same plantation, which conservative farmers will will yield seventy-five bushels to the acre. The cotton crop was never better, or even so good, for the time of the year. Unless all signs fall the cotton crop will by far exceed anything ever seen in this section of Georgia. MANY CATTLE POISONED. Tift County Farmers Send Call to Commissioner Hudson Tifton, Ga.—A strange disease among the cattle at Eldorado caused the people of that place to send a hurry call to Honorable T. G. Hudson, commissioner of agriculture, at Atlanta. The agricultural department wired Dr. P. F. Bahnsen of Americus who came by next train to Eldorado. He examined a cow that had just died, and pronounced it poison by fungus. He said that hot, steaming weather, following excessive rains, caused the poison on grasses in similar manner to smut which grows on corn during rainy weather. When the cow eats this growth it causes her to have brain fever and mad it within four hours, and it is a rare occurrence for one to live. twenty-four hours. They will stand and rub their heads on a stump until the hair, hide, and finally the flesh, is rubbed off. With the Lawmakers. The general tax act, which passed the house, seems destined to become a permanent law, instead of a biennial measure, is not so far different from the former measure, with the exception of the dog tax mentioned, an increase on soft drink syrups or from $400 on each manufacturer to 5 cents per gallon, and that on nec beer from $200 to $500 on retail dealers in near-beer, and from $500 to $1,000 on wholesalers and manufacturers, which many contend will be prohibitive. The remainder of the measure is practically as the old one. The house approved a resolution offered by Mr. Vinson of Baldwin appointing a small subcommittee from the house to act in conjunction with a similar committee from the senate in inspecting the county convict camps of the state during recess. An attack on intercollegiate football was made in the house of representatives by Mr. Adams of Hall. He sought, but with only a fraction of success, to cut off all state appropriations from any state institutions which should legitimize students take part in intercollegiate games. He also argued that no state school be allowed to employ a baseball or football coach or in any way contribute to the expense of athletic teams. The solons badly contested this proposition and for awhile the debate looked pretty much like a football game itself. Fluffy, the measure which portion of intercollegiate sports, but passed the clause forbidding the use of state funds for athletics. A bill by Mr. McIntyre of Thomas, and Mr. Tippens of Appling, which grants to laundrymen the right of laborer's lien, a privilege which they have enjoyed for years, but which the legislature will now legalize by special legislation was passed. The committee on constitutional amendments of the house favorably reported the senate bill providing for biennial session. There is a similar measure pending in the house, but in the Senate, the senate has already passed the senate will be taken up in the house and an effort made to push it through. News of the Legislature. If the Georgia legislature incorporates into the general tax bill all the provisions introduced by members it soon will be nearly as hard to get a drink of soda water in the state as it is now to get a drink of whiskey. Face to face with deficit and with salaries and bills unpaid, the solons are grubbing desperately to find revenue producers. Since the advent of prohibition, the soft drink industry has become the biggest thing in the state. Hence it offered the easiest solution of the problem. Here are some of the tax clauses already passed by the house: Five dollars a year upon each faucet of a soda water fountain; five hundred dollars per year for each manufacturer of carbonated water; $25 per year upon each bottling machine in the state; a revenue stamp costing 5 cents each for a gallon of syrup or tincture or extract manufactured or sold. All of these taxes are in addition to the tax levied by the cities, towns and villages in which the dealer resides, and these towns have not overlooked the soft drink dealers in their plans for raising revenue. These levies, too, are in addition to certain specific taxes which have been directed against certain big manufacturers of well known bottled drinks. Several ambitious members say they have measures being drawn which will help to increase the funds. Conservative members are alarmed, and declare that unless the assembly goes slow, it will cut off nearly all the state's revenue, instead of increasing it. One of the first general bills of interest and importance enacted by the general assembly at this session to be signed by Governor Brown is that prohibiting the issuance of trading stamps redeemable by a third party, to which the governor has just affixed his signature. This bill was especially championed by the senator and representatives from Richmond county. It does not prohibit a retail merchant from issuing trading stamps and rebate checks, redeemable in trade in his own store, but it makes it unlawful for any merchant to issue trading stamps for redemption by a third party. The Alexander prohibition bill adopted as an amendment to Section 7 of the government act in the house of representatives increases the license tax on manufacture and wholesale dealers in near beer to $1,000 and the tax on retail dealers to $500, payable quarterly. It further places many additional restrictions upon holders of such licenses. Every dog has his day, but the Georgia dog has had two days before the general assembly. At the end of it, the dog comes out with a tax of $1 a year on his head, so far as the house has a say about the matter. Canines, coca cola and automobiles strike the house as being particularly good subjects to bear special taxes. There were few to say a good word in behalf of the dog. It is estimated that this tax will yield the state nearly $40,000 in revenue, or result in the wholesale destruction of dogs. Under the amendment to the tax act, as adopted by the house, every dog must be given in for taxation, and where this is not done and the dog is sold for taxes, if the amount bid does not equal the tax and fees, the unlucky dog is to be killed. It was first decided to make the delinquent owner guilty of a misdemeanor, but this was stricken. By a vote of 23 to 18 the senate voted to remove from office-Chairman S. G. McLendon of the railroad commission. By an amendment to the general tax act the house of representatives placed a tax of 10 cents per gallon upon coca cola and other syrups used in the manufacture and sale of soft drinks in the state of Georgia. The increase in the tax on corporations and practically every other special tax increase recommended by the ways and means committee, was stricken by the house of representatives and the figures in the old act restored. The corporation tax was reduced, the maximum tax upon $1,000,000 corporations being made $100; the tax on social clubs was reduced from $1,000 to $500, as in the old law; the tax on loan agents was reduced from $50 to $10, and the tax on cigarette dealers reduced from $50 to $25. The increased tax on cigars and tobacco dealers was also stricken, as was the increased tax on sewing machine agents. "But the house soaked gypsy camps. In considering the measure taxing litterer dealers in horses, mules and other live stock, it provides that each individual member of a camp of gypsies coming into the state should pay a tax of $500. The effort of Dr. Hardman of Jackson to have the house reconsider the vote by which it had killed his automobile tax bill was unsuccessful. In support of an amendment to reduce the tax on sawing machine companies from $300 to $200, the same figure as last year, Mr. Ellis of Bibb declared this tax had been quadrupled in recent years, and that it was not necessarily high. The amendment was adopted. A new code for the state of Georgia which has been demanded by lawyers throughout the state was provided for by the general judiciary, committee, or the county representative, when it adopted a bill to accept the proposal of Judge John L. Hopkins to furnish the state a code. By the unanimous vote of the ways and means committee, the bill of Mr. Beazley of Lee to require mortgages, reservations of title and security deeds to be listed with the tax receivers of the county in which the property is found, was defeated. While there has been no open discussion of it in the legislature, it is considered not improbable that the general assembly will not vote to approve the proposed amendment to the constitution of the United States providing for the levying of an income tax by the national government. Pawnbrokers in Georgia will continue to pay the same amount of tax as last year. This was decided by the house after debating the paragraph in the general tax bill advancing the rate of tax from $200 to $300. The tax remains at $200.
