LEFT MESSAGE WITH EDITOR No Violence Was Done, But Many Warnings Were Left for Gamblers and Blind Tiger Proprietors. Dalton, Ga.—Wearing long black robes and masks, a band of Ku-Klux, or night riders, 25 or 30 strong, rode into Dalton to take the first step toward ridding the town of evil-doers, so it later transpired. The body scattered when they reached town, and several of the members rode up to the residence of B. L. Heartsill, editor of The Argus, and woke him up. "Are you editor of the paper?" the spokesman of the party asked, Mr. Heartsill. He replied that he owned The Argus. "Well, we have a message here to some people in Dalton we want to print, and then give to the other paper." The warning was as follows: "Owl Hollow, 8th Month, Ax. "When in the course of events it becomes necessary for us to visit a certain section for the protection of women and children and good of society we are ever ready to answer the call, and whatsoever we purpose that we do. Woe unto the guilty wretch who disobeys our orders. "There are certain evils existing in this city that have got to stop. Blind tigers and gamblers, lewd women, streets loafers and vagrants must go. Ed Whitaker, Lum Gartrell, Jesse House and several others of their color; also several white men who are engaged in the same business of selling whiskey, take warning. The appeal of women and children who have been made to suffer on account of the internal poison you sell has been heard and by the Eternal they shall not be imposed upon any more. The gamblers we know also, and this is the first and last warning you will receive. Some of them are married men and have families who have our sympathy and need the money that you are gambling away while you are ruining the youn gbows of the town. This thing has got to stop. If it does not the young boys of the town. This house, remember you have been warned. Don't attempt violence or make any threats. If you do remember the cross beam on the foot bridge is still sound and strang. The gang of young men who loaf the streets both day and night must either go to work or leave the country. Lewd women both white and black must go. Certain young men who wear good clothes and loaf on the streets each night until midnight must either go to work or leave. Some of the gang are thieves and we have got them on our list. They must either go to work or go further away. This order to all is first and final; you must quit your cussiness or go to another country. Your day is over here. "Done in conference at Owl Hollow and final orders given by "TIBO TIB." "Grand Cyclops of the K. K. K." The document wat typewritten, some sentences having been done over in red ink. E. H. HARRIMAN HOME Pale and Enfeebled, the Railway Mag nate. Reaches New York New York City—Edward H. Herriman, genius of finance, leader of men and master organizer of railroad systems, came back to the United States while the financial world stood on tiptoes and anxiety and expectancy. He came back to this country as he left — a sick, tired man — seeking health. Surrounded by his family and physicians at his magnificent home at Arden on the-Hudson, he has begun the "after-score" which he needs after the enervating baths and dietetic treatment he underwent at the Austrian resort. How long it will be before he resumes the active direction of his vast railroad interests depends solely upon his health. He arrived feeble, face gaunt and voice weak. "And I have come home," he said, "for a cure and not for work." - Many great Americans have returned to their country's shores under extraordinary circumstances, but never has there been a more remarkable home-coming of a private citizen than E. H. Harriman's. Great stock market operators paused as his ship drew near, the stock market itself marked time and the industrial world turned its eyes seaward, as it were, eager for a glimpse of the face of the man whose illness abroad has furnished much material for stock market rumors. HOLY SEPIILCHRE - RELIC. Ancient Wooden Lock in the Hands of James Creelman. Ney York City—The ancient wooden lock of the gate of the holy sepulchre in the city of Jerusalem is now in this city in the home of James Creelman, a magazine writer, to whom it was presented by Faydi Effendi, mayor of Jerusalem. The lock is believed to have been placed on the gate during one of the later crusades. Six years ago, the Turkish government wanted to replace the crumbling old interlocking pieces of wood with a modern lock, but the French consul instantly protested. A compromise was made and duplicate of the old lock put in its place. CENSUS OF CHURCHES. Washington, D. C.—Advance sheets of the bulletin now in course of preparation by officials of the United States, census bureau containing the information gathered by the bureau in the fifth census of religious bodies in the United States reveals that is 1906 there was invested in churches in this country more than $1,250,000,000. The churches have a total membership of nearly 33,000,000, of which considerably more than one-half are women. It is also estimated from the statistics that more churches are completed each day. Out of the grand total of church membership 61.6 per cent are Protestants and 46.7 per cent are Roman Catholic, but, in spite of this predominance of Protestants, in sixteen states a majority of the total church membership is Roman Catholic. It is stated that United States census statistics of church membership by sex were collected for the first time in 1906. Of the total number of members reported by the various religious bodies and classified by sex 43.1 per cent were males and 56.9 per cent females. Among the Protestants the difference was greater, only 39.3 per cent being males. In the Roman Catholic churches there were relatively more males, the number forming 49.3 per cent of the total membership. Fewer males than females were found among the Latter Day Salutes, the Lutherans, Disciples, Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians and Protestant Episcopalians, the percentage of male members decreasing in the order shown, and there being but 55.5 per cent male among the Episcopalians. Among the Christian Scientists only 27.6 per cent were males. Of the estimated population of continental United States in 1906, the church members formed 39.1 per cent as against 32.7 per cent for 1889. Of this 6.4 per cent increase, the Roman Catholic Church is credited with 4.4 per cent and the Protestants with 1.8 per cent. It is stated in the bulletin that the total number of members reported by the various religious bodies for 1906 was 22,936,445, of which number the Protestants were credited with 20,257,742 and the Roman Catholics with 12,079,142. Of the Protestant bodies the Methodists numbered 5,749,838; the Baptists, 5,662,894; the Lutherans, 2,112,494; the Presbyterians, 1,830,555; and the Disciples of Christians, 1,142,359. Of the total of 22,226,445 church members, 61.6 per cent were Protestants, 36.7 per cent Roman Catholics and 1.7 per cent members of other religious organization. The rate of increase shown for the Roman Catholic Church is 93:5 per cent, which is more than twice that for all the Protestant bodies combined. The Methodists reported 17.5 per cent of all Protestant Church members; the Baptists 17.2 per cent. GAVE UP HIS BRIDE To Secure a Legacy-of $15,000, Pennsylvania Man Broke Engagement. Philadelphia, Pa.—In order to comply with the terms of his brother's will, which required him to remain a bachelor, William Taggart of this city announced that he would give up his intended marriage, and will thereby receive a legacy of $15,000. The estate originally belonged to an uncle, who left the property to a brother of Taggart, on condition that he remain unmarried. The brother died, and he passed the estate to William with the matrimonial restriction. Injunction Stopped Eurial. Goshen, Ind.—When the funeral cortege of Charles Crary reached the cemetery it was met by C. B. Silver, an undertaker, and his attorney and several policemen, who prevented the coffin being lowered into the grave on the contention that Crary, six years ago, entered into a contract with Silver to have his body cremated in Chicago. Newsy Paragraphs. New York's wealth, on which taxes are paid, is $7,259,300,559, according to a report submitted to the mayor recently by the tax commission. Of this total the real estate is worth $6,807,179,704 and the personal property is worth $433,200,855. These valuations which are embodied for three months, ending June 30, 1999, show a net increase in the assessed value of real estate of $84,763,915. "It doesn't take as much sense to be a president as it does to be a senator or congressman these days," said Congressman Champ Clark as he passed through Omaha, Neb., on a chattauqua tour. "There are ten thousand men in the United States who would make good presidents—if they could be elected. What we need most is senators and congressmen who will look out for the poor common people." A few days ago a bent and headless pin was taken from the arm of Miss Adelina Wyckoff, eighteen years old of Patterson, N. J., and since then sixteen similar pins have been extracted from the arm. Miss Wyckoff has no idea how the pins came to be in her body, and her parents believe that when she was a little child she probably swallowed them, unknown to other members of the family, and that they are just now working themselves out. Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, *o* who, with his son, Robin, was found guilty of killing former Senator *Carmack* K. Tennessee, inherits $1,165 from the estate of his brother, William F.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1909. URGE POSTAL BANKS Taft Will Ask Congress to Carry Out Republican Promises. IT WOULD. YIELD MILLIONS By Establishment of Banks Government Would Get Huge Sum With Which to Retire 2 Per Cent Bouds. Beverly, Mass.—President Taft indicated in talks with callers that in his message to congress next December, he will strongly urge the early establishment of a postal savings bank system. The president realizes that there is strong opposition to such legislation at this time and while he does not propose to rush congress on too many matters at once; he will ask that the platform declaration of the republican party in favor of postal banks be fulfilled as speedily as possible. Influential members of both the generate and house are urging that the matter be left over until the monetary commission has made its report and ensuing financial legislation has been disposed of. It has even been said that the relation between the subjects to be dealt with by the monetary commission and the postal banks is so close that the two should be handled together. President Taft believes that several hundreds of millions would be placed at the disposal of the government through postal savings banks. It is suggested that this money might well be employed in taking up the $600,000,000 or $700,000,000 of government 2 per cent bonds which are outstanding and which have given much concern to the treasury department officials. Already the 2 per cent bonds are selling below par and there is fear of further depreciation in view of the 3 per cent issues which have been authorized and, which soon may be placed on the market. The money which postal banks would draw, the president believes, is that which is sent abroad each year by foreigners who insist that the government's guarantee shall be back, of any bank in which they place their hard-earned savings and which is secreted in stockings and mattresses and not sent to any bank at all. The president believes that the postal banks would appeal only to those timid persons who are afraid to trust the ordinary banks and who would rather get the 2 per cent or less interest which the government would give than to place the money in the regular savings banks, where it would draw from 3 to 4 per cent interest each year. By placing the interest to be allowed by the postal banks at less than 2 per cent, Mr. Taft is convinced that no hard work be done to the ordinary banks of commerce, for discriminating persons who now place their money in these banks and are appreciative of what these banks are doing for the community would not withdraw money drawing a high rate and place it under government care at half the interest offered by the ordinary savings banks. The money obtained through postal banks, the president and several of his closest banks, the president and several of his closest advisers believe, would offer a happy solution of the 2 per cent bond problem. Idle funds would be placed at the disposal of the government at an exceedingly low rate of interest. The government's guarantee, it is believed, would dam the steady flow of gold across the Atlantic to foreign banks under government control. President Taft expressed himself again, as he did so often during the campaign of a year ago, as unalterably opposed to a guarantee of bank deposits. Mr. Taft said he did not believe in making one set of bankers stand responsible for another set, and he does not think the national government or the states should undertake to extend a guarantee to institutions which are not under government control and direction. As to the charge of paternalism reflected in the postal bank idea, President Taft, in stating his position, declared he thought it far-reached. 15 MINERS KILLED. Cable Parts and the Cage Falls Fifteen Hundred Feet. Mexico, City.—A special dispatch from Mategaaulaha says that fifteen miners were killed and 20 imprisoned by the dropping of a cage into the La Paz mine there. The cable parted and the men dropped 1,500 feet. The accident was caused by a failure of the engine brakes to work. The cage was sent to the rafters of the shaft house, and the strain snapped the cable. PLANS FOR PRESIDENTS MEETING Mexico City, Mexico—Secretary of State Marcalgale gave out the program for the meeting of Presidents Taft and Diaz. President Taft will arrive at Juarez, across the border from El Paso at 10:40 a. m. October 16. At the same time the train of President Taft will roll into El Paso. At 11 o'clock President Diaz will cross the Rio Grande in his train and meet Mr. Taft. There will be no speeches, no reaching across a chalk-marked boundary line and no fireworks. Instead, the presidents will go to a banquet table, at which felicitations will be exchanged. ALABAMA LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS. Many Drastic Prohibition Bills Passed By Lawmakers Montgomery, Ala.—The special session of the Alabama legislature, which adjourned after twenty-two working days, accomplished the chief purpose for which it was called by passing the most drastic prohibition laws ever passed by any state, and capping the laws by submitting to the people an amendment to the constitution prohibiting the sale or manufacture of intoxicants in Alabama. The election will be held the last week in November. Governor Comer, in his call' for the extra session, urged a compulsory education law, and the submission of a constitutional amendment for biennial sessions of the legislature, and the creation of new counties. These three ideas failed, the educational' bill and the counties' amendment being defeated, and the biennial sessions proposition not being introduced. At least ten prohibition measures were passed. Under the new laws a person may not have liquor anywhere but his home. Keeping it at other places is made prima facie evidence that it is for sale. Prosecutions are to be made before chancellors, and not juries, and state attorneys and sheriffs may be impeached for failure to execute the laws. Foreign corporations may not do business of any kind in Alabama if it is shown that they sell or manufacture liquors in other states. New pure food and drug laws were passed; the state is given a completely new jury system, designed to aid prohibition prosecutions, and many changes were made in the civil code. Few railroad measures were passed. Many of those passed by other legislatures were repealed or amended to meet the opinions of federal courts. 200 PEOPLE DROWNED. Steamers Collide in Harbor of Montevideo, Uruguay. Montevideo, Uruguay—In a driving rain storm, the Argentine excursion steamer Colombia and the North German-Lloyd steamer Schlesien collided at the entrance of Montevideo harbor. The Schlesien was outward bound for Bremen. The Colombia's bow was crushed in and she sank almost immediately. Between 150 and 200 persons were killed or drowned. Most of the dead are women and children. A majority of the survivors are men. The Colombia was carrying excursionists from Buenos Ayres to festival at Montevideo and the disaster has caused the keenest emotion. The Uruguayan government, in consequence, has postponed the fetes arranged for the celebration of the inauguration of the port. NEGRO RUNS AMUCK Armed With Shotgun, Negro Roves Over Monroe, La., Firing at People. Monroe, La.-Angered, it is believed, because two of his friends had recently been shot by police officers in this city, William S. Wade, a negro, ran amuck on the principal business street of Monroe with a double-barreled shotgun, shooting first at every white man he saw and then firing indiscriminately at every object before him. The fire was returned, and the negro finally fell dead with a bullet through his heart, but not before 29 men, three of them members of his own race, had been more or less seriously-wounded. Martial Law in Mississippi Town Meadville, Miss. — With martial law in effect, state troops encamped about the court house, and, apparently, masters of the situation, Meadville is quiet, but withal there is a feeling of uncertainty as to what hours may bring forth. This situation follows an attempt to kill Ernest Newman, chancery clerk, and son of the leader of one faction in the Newman-Pritchard feud fight of several months ago, which brought about the death of four persons. Celebrate Birth of Admiral Semmes. New Orleans, L.A.-by command of General Clement A. Evans, commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, Adjutant General and Chief of Staff William E. Mickle issued from the headquarters in this city a general order calling for the observance of September 27, next, as the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Rear Admiral Raphael Semmes of the Confederate States navy. Gift of $25,000 to Emory. Oxford, Ga.-President James E. Dickey of Emory College announced that he had received a subscription of $25,000 for the endowment fund now being raised for the college from prominent naval stores and railroad men who has recently come to Atlanta to make his home. Indlaws Burned Woman. El Paso, Texas,—Believing a witch brought on the smallpox epidemic that caused the death of many of their children, the Indians of Huejotzingo, near Puebla, Mexico, owed to death an aged woman, Juanna Remiroz. They barricaded all the exits to her hut, set fire to it and watched her perish in the flames. Fear of Rats Caused Woman's Death. New York City.—Mrs. Sarah Nayler's fear of rats and mice led to her death, when she sought refuge on a chair from an imaginary mouse, and, losing her balance, tumbled out the third story window. She was crushed to death on the stone pavement. RURAL MAIL DELIVERY 13th Anniversary of Its Inauguration Approaching. 40,919 ROUTES IN OPERATION Some of the Good Influences That the Rural Free Delivery Routes Washington, D. C.-On October, 1, 1903, the thirteenth anniversary of the installation of rural delivery in the United States will be reached. In commemoration of the event some suitable recognition is suggested, as no branch of the postal service has had so recent a beginning with equally remarkable results. The honor of the first attempt to test the practicability of such a radical broadening of the operations of individual delivery rests with five routes from three postoffices in West Virginia. The innovation was so great that it took some time for the people to be benefited to realize the advantage in store for them. By the end of the third fiscal year after this service began but 301 routes were established, at an annual expenditure of $150,012. The convenience, as well as ethical, economical, commercial and educational benefits incident to this particular public utility were now so forcibly demonstrated that expansion went on rapidly, the cost aggregating up to the present time no less than $170,000,000. The 40,804 carriers in covering their 40,919 routes every secular day of the year, excepting New Year's, Washington's Birthday, Memorial or Decoration, Independence and Labor and Thanksgiving days, or the Monday following should those days fall on the Sabbath. In making their daily round, more than 20,000,000 rural residents are served. In looking back over what has been accomplished during the brief period of its existence, it is apparent that the rural delivery service is a great public convenience. Results are the best commendation and these are sustained by unanimous expressions of approval of patrons. From an ethical point of view the utility of the service is evident in many ways. It brings the rural population into neighborly relationship and promotes intercourse with nearby communities, and through them with cities, great and small. As a commercial proposition facilities are afforded to keep tab on the markets as to prices of products and commodities for sale or purchase. In this respect farmers especially find themselves greatly benefited by constant knowledge the conditions of trade. In an economical sense the public has derived advantage from the improvement and maintenance of roads over which rural delivery routes are laid, this being a condition precedent to the establishment of mail facilities. In addition good roads insure greater frequency and regularity of delivery by diesel or resupply cars, since the inauguration of this service, it is estimated that more than $75,000,000 has been expended in rebuilding, repairs and maintenance. As a means-of education, the widening of the utilization of the mails by rural free delivery has largely extended the circulation of local and metropolitan newspapers, magazines and general literature, besides having proved a stimulus to more extended personal correspondence. The popularity of rural delivery among farmers and others living away from communities having city mail facilities is shown in a summary of this service that Postmaster General Hitchcock ordered prepared in the office of the fourth assistant postmaster general un to August, 1909. This exhibit sives 40,919 routes in operation served by 40,804 carriers. Of the total number of routes 622 are trivially. In bringing the service up to its present high state of organization and efficiency, 60,180 petitions were received and investigated. Of this number 17,163 were reported upon adversely. At the close of this report 1,432 petitions were pending, of which 202 have been assigned for establishment between August 16 and October 1, 1909, leaving 1,230 unacted upon. The seeming discrepancy between the number of rural routes and carriers is accounted for by instances where there exists trivially service on more than one rural route out of two routes alternating each day. The state having the largest number of rural delivery routes at this date is Illinois, 2,284. There are seven states with more than New York (1,841- first in population, and four with more than Pennsylvania (2,163) second in number of inhabitants. DEFIES POWER OF THE STATE. Mayor of Atlantic City in Rebellion Against New Jersey. Atlantic City, N. J.-Interest in the reform movement in this city was intensified when Mayor Stoq officially refused to receive a notice from Attorney General Wilson, ordering him to close Atlantic City saloons on Sunday. The mayor said he knew the contents of the notice, which gave the names and addresses of thirty-eight saloons and hotel proprietors who are alleged to have sold liquor on Sunday, and he refused to accept service even after the paper and the signature of the attorney general had been read to him. LATE NEWS NOTES. GeneraL A freak corn tassel was taken from the farm of Fred Catt, near Arlington, Ind. The tassel is a bunch of green feliago fourteen inches in length and eight inches thick. The top of the bunch was similar in shape and color to that of the common tassel. Several smaller tassels were in the bunch. There were small, green shoots, in which grains of corn were forming. Each grain had a separate husk and stalk and silks were forming about the grain. Saying that she did not want to see President Taft "hobnob" with President Dlaz, "Mother" Jones, of labor union fame, announced that she intended to go to El Paso, Texas, to prevent the meeting of the two presidents. She did not say in what manner she would try and prevent the John D. Rockefeller spent several hours one day recently in putting Dr. W. C. Bitting, his former New York pastor, now of St. Louis, to what the oil king calls "the fire test of the links." The pastor outpointed him in a golf match over the Forest Hill course in which the two as partners were defeated seven strokes. Modern housewives are veritable Lucretta Borglans, declared Dr. Hairyey W. Wylie, head of the United States chemistry bureau, who is attending the National Convention of Pure Food and Dairy commissioners in Denver, Col. "The modern Lucretta," he said, "is here in flocks, using the telephone, handing out poison from the ice box, from the broiler and the skillet and the little this of dinner she buys when breathlessly rushing home, after her exciting bridge games at the club. It is the duty of every woman, whether she is a housewife cr not, to inform herself on the laws of hygiene. The average ice box is a channel house, which not, only holds death, but spreads it. And, too, many housekeepers allow disorder and uncleanliness to prevalent in their kitchen and larders through ignorance or indifference. They'd rather pick out a Beethoven sonata, read an Ibsen play, or memorize a bridge rule, than trace a ptomaine to its lair and eradicate it in the interest of family safety." Washington. The geological survey issued a report on coal produced in the United States for 1908. The figures for Alabama are 11,004,553 tons, as compared with 11,250,454 tons in 1907, a decrease of 2,645,861 tons, in round numbers the estimated decrease in the value of the coal as compared with the year before was $3,750,000. During the last twelve years, the period covering the administration of Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson, the agricultural balance of trade in the United States increased from a yearly average of $234,000,000 to $111,000,000, or 75.7 per cent, according to the department's year book just made public. Reports to the navy department say that the new United States torpedo boat Flusser, one of the new boats now building for the navy, had her preliminary builders' trial on the course of Rockland, Me. She made a speed of 31.03 knots, which makes her the swiftest vessel in the American navy. Rear Admiral C. S. Sperry,who took the Atlantic battleship fleet on its cruise from San Francisco to the Philippines and through the Suez canal to Hampton Roads, will be placed on the retired list. He has reached the age of sixty-two years. Heavy demands for the Hudson-Fulton commemorative stamps are now anticipated by the postoffice department and postmasters throughout the country have been notified that the department may find it impossible to expedite requisitions for these stamps. This special stamp will be issued in sheets of sixty instead of one hundred. the regulation number. Alarmed regarding the permanency of their state papers and other valuable documents, the leading governments of the world, headed by the United States, are seeking paper of as nearly an indestructible a character as it can be made. This announcement was made in a statement by the department of agriculture, which was prepared by F. P. Veitch, chief of the leather and paper laboratory, bureau of chemistry on "The Need for Good Paper." Confirmation of the story that Governor Blackburn, of the Panama canal zone, is about to resign to return to Kentucky, was given out by JJames Blackburn, his brother. It is announced that the former senator will bring a fine Arabian stallion back with him and establish a breeding farm, in Kentucky. The naval yacht Elfrida has been turned over to the state of North Carolina for the use of its naval brigade. The Elfrida has been for some time in use by the naval brigade of Connecticut and is used almost exclusively for this purpose. M. C.

Mr. Cohen is well known and popular and hts.friends are congratulating him on being honored by the department. The secretary of the treasury received a letter postmarked Passadena, Cal., from an unknown writer containing a $500 contribution to the conscience fund. One of the features of the encampment of Sons of Union veterans, was the discussion of the erection of a peace monument in Washington by the Sons of Veterans, U. S.

Among the players who do not study psychology, the crucial moment is known as "the break," a phenomenon which not one has analyzed, and which the players themselves do not understand. Twenty men on the bench are watching closely and intently every move of the pitcher, every swing of his arm. The tide of battle rises, ebbs—and then suddenly at the start of some inning something happens. What it is no N ٢٤٢ Don't block the way for the hustler. If it is too warm, just get in the shade out of other folls' way. one outside the psychic sphere of influence ever will understand, but the silent, tight-lipped, watchful, alert fellows on the bench see something or feel something, and the mysteridus "break" has come. Baseball is almost as much psychological as athletic. Why one team can beat a stronger one regularly, and lose to a weaker one with the same regularity; why one batter can hit one pitcher and is helpless before another; why one pitcher is effective against a strong team and at the mercy of another that cannot bat half as hard, are psychological problems.—American Magazine.

Who Is Making a Tour of the Holy Land..... (Special Correspondence.) Jerusalem. — The Turkish empire of to-day is, especially in its official operations, a different empire from what it was three months ago. In some respects it is a different empire so far as the lives of the people are concerned. The marvelous revolution of a month ago, which secured the elevation of the fifth Mohammed to the Qttoman throne, is already producing noticeable results. The year-old Constitution was responsible for a marked broadening of the official vision of Turkish authorities, but the most remarkable changes have come to pass since the deposition of Abdul Hamid. It is no such trying task to-day to enter the country as it has been considered to be since the memory of man runneth. The day of discourtesy and discomfort and unnecessary scrutiny at the ports of call has evidently passed. The writer has embarked and disembarked no fewer than five times within the past three weeks at the principal ports of Palestine, Jaffa, Halifa and Belrut without experiencing any more trouble with customs officers than is usual in any European port. A friend who has been conducting parties from the States to Palestine for fifteen years asserts that it has never been so easy to go and come as now. Steamship agents tell the same story. It is the testimony of the average man one questions as one wanders through the land. Fifty times at least different men have said, "It is not like it used to be." To be sure, if one does not care to have his baggage opened he may, even now, secure immunity by the payment of secure immunity by the payment or "backsheesh." But it does not matter much whether or not one offers a "gift." At Jaffa the writer kept his "gift" to himself. The customs agent very politely asked that the baggage be opened, and after a very courteous examination passed it. The trouble was "nil." It was not necessary even to produce a passport. The freedom of the press is something 'heretofore unknown. The native papers are saying very nearly, if not quite, just what they think on the political problems which perplex the empire and which mean so much to millions of the subjects of the Sultan. Only the other day an editorial in a Beirut paper, published in French, criticised the lassitude and incapacity of the local municipal authorities as stringently as New York-dallies dictate to the Mayor. They even dared to suggest among other things that the city fathers should keep horses from feeding on the already inadequate sidewalks of Beirut, and that the multitude of wild-running, noisy dogs should be exorcised. These suggestions in answer to the statement of the city government that a city can not be transformed without money. Only those who are aware of the inallenable rights of Palestinian dogs and horses and donkeys can appreciate the audacity of these proposals. Humorously illustrative this is of another point of view that has heretofore had short shrift. Seriously, reform is in the air. If it is easier to enter and leave the country than it was, it is also easier to move through Palestine, particularly, than heretofore. To go across Jordan or to such a place as Petra it was formerly necessary to ask for a permit, which as often as not was refused. To go without leave meant a fine. Those who wanted to go frequently went first and accounted for the violation of the law afterward. Then they paid a fine and the incident was closed. To-day such permits are unnecessary. Heretofore a traveler at Haifa, Nazareth, Tiberlas, Damascus and Baalbek has been under the strictest surveillance. It has been necessary to report to the local police authorities with one's papers at once. Fees were collected for registration, and gratuities were always cheerfully received. Failure to report meant that a more NEW RIVALS OF THE POTATO. Southern States Growing Some Hitherto Unknown Vegetables. Efforts have been made to introduce in the Southern States certain useful vegetables hitherto unknown to this country, which are known in tropical regions as the yautia, the dasheen and the taro. The last named is already familiar as an ornamental plant, under the name of caladium or "elephant's ear." All three are nearly related and their starchy, edible roots are highly prized in warm latitudes. Linas. Not only are they useful by reason of their edible qualities, but their high yield of starch affords a prospect of great usefulness for them as stock food or in the production of alcohol. The yautia seems to have been originally native to the West Indies. It was cultivated by the aborigines in those parts centuries before Columbus discovered America. Even to the present day its roots, which look These roots, indeed, resemble the common potato in composition and in flavor. That of the yautia, for example, when properly cooked, is not easily distinguished from the "Irish" tuber. It is sometimes white, sometimes red and sometimes yellow, according to variety. So rich is it instature that it yields nearly one-third of its weight in flour, and its leaves are prepared for the table after the manner of spinach. One reason why it is deemed desirable to introduce these plants is that they flourish in land that is too wet for ordinary crops. It has been asserted that they will grow well in this country as far north as the Caro- or less indignant official would call upon the careless traveler at his (the officer's) earliest convenience. All that is changed; no longer are "Messieurs les voyageurs," as the French call the tourists, followed up like crooks. At Baalbek, for example, a courteous, cheery official put a smiling face through the open window of the compartment and asked the traveler for a sight of his passport and a simple statement of whence he came and whither traveling. There are more unveiled women in Palestine than heretofore. Even now women are not conspicuous by their presence and number upon the Oriental streets of upper Egypt and Palestine, except in distinctively Christian communities, but the number of unveiled Mohammedan women seen upon the narrow thoroughfares, though relatively small and confined largely to the less wealthy classes, is large enough to compel exclamations of surprise from seasoned travelers to whom Palestine is an oft read volume. The native who expresses any sympathy for Abdul Hamid the writer has yet to meet. To be sure, there are those who have lost office with the downfall of the old regime who would be glad to see the return of the old days of treachery and bloodshed, but the mass of the people is satisfied, if common testimony is of any certain account. The general judgment seems to be that there is no reason to mourn the fact that Abdul Hamid is a prisoner at Salonika. "He killed thousands" is the oft repeated statement. Pictures of the new Sultan, more gaudy than complimentary to the subject, are in frequent evidence. The foundations for a regenerated empire are not all laid, and there may be trouble here and there between ignorant Mussulmans and ignorant Christians in Asia Minor. Liberty means license to not a few and many have the lesson to learn that true liberty is the fruitage of a calm self-restraint. The pupils of some Protestant institutions are a bit unreasonable in their demands. Some of the Greek Catholics at Jerusalem are anxious to rectify the errors of administration of that communion over night. Others seem not yet to have learned that the new government is at present popular and in earnest. Still others, perhaps, will not be cultured by the executions of the ringleaders of the massacre at Adana. But the careful observer must admit that the day is better. The power of the liberal party, the backbone of which consists of Young Turks, is enlarging. The grip of that cool, commendable organization composed of the best minds, both Moslem and Christian, in the empire, upon the political life of Western Asia is as potential as it is prodigious. The Turkish empire stands just within the threshold of a glorious era—an era that means much for Palestine. The hands of the clock of progress are now pointing toward civic and religious liberty; the Turk has his face to the future—a future fraught with possibilities, the realization of which will yet make him proud of his once despised country.—From the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. "There is a ring around the moon to-night," remarked the young man in the porch rocker. "Do you know what that means?" "No," replied the fair occupant of the hammock, "but I know what a ring around a girl's third finger means." And as there was only one way out of it the y. m. went out that way—and bought the ring.—Chicago News. The volcano of Stromboli has been known to emit flames persistently, and lava and cinders spasmodically for two thousand years. linas. Not only are they useful by reason of their edible qualities, but their high yield of starch affords a prospect of great usefulness for them as stock food or in the production of alcohol. The yautia seems to have been originally native to the West Indies. It was cultivated by the aborigines in those parts centuries before Columbus discovered America. Even to the present day its roots, which look somewhat like sweet potatoes, are raised on the islands of that archipelago in great quantities, the production often reaching ten tons to the acre. Did the white potato not exist they would take the place of it admirably. Aged But Efficient. Of all the workmen employed by the Marlborough rural district council for work on the district roads ten of them average seventy years of age, their combined ages being 701 years.

WHAT WOMEN ARE WEARING 1 New York City.—The naval blouse is an unquestioned favorite and can be utilized in various ways. It can be worn as illustrated as shown in the back view, and it makes a most satis- A factory garment for tennis, for golf, for boating and all occasions of the sort, and it also is much in demand for the college girl who utilizes it in a great many ways. This one is made of white linen combined with blue, 1 and is exceedingly smart and attractive. It is an essentially simple garment, drawn on over the head, and involves no difficulties in the making, while it is smart and comfortable and thoroughly satisfactory. The blouse is made with front and back. There is a short opening at the front, which is closed by means of lacings beneath the tie and the big sailor collar finishes the neck. The patch pocket is arranged over the left of the front, and there are short sleeves that are without fulness at their upper edges, but which are gathered at, the lower and finished with straight cuffs. They can be made either with or without openings. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three and three-eighth yards twenty-seven, two and a half yards thirty-two or forty-four inches wide with one-half yard twenty-seven for collar and cuffs. Swcater Coat&. The automobile is where the new long sweater coats, or coat sweaters, are-best appreciated. They are light to carry or wear, take up no room, and are most acceptable if suddenly changed plans find one a considerable distance from home in the late evening. And there is a wicked delight in being perfectly comfortable as one whirls along at thirty"miles an hour wrapped apparently in a thin jchgee coat but really in a cozy sweater. Button Rosettes. Above the plain cuff and frilly edge of the elbow sleeve, set among the folds of the full sleeve, one see now and then a large rosette with button centre, the whole made of the thin cloth material of which the gown is fashioned. Blouse or Dress Slceves. Sleeves so often need remodeling while the remainder of the gown is in good style that new designs are constantly in demand. Here are shown plain long sleeves, shirt waist sleeves and three-quarter sleeves of moderate fulness finished with rolled-over cuffs. Each is good in its way and all are the latest style. The plain sleeves are adapted to more dressy blousqs and the shirt waist and three-quarter sleeves to the simpler ones. These last are moderately full, while the plain sleeves are snug at the lower portions but slightly full at the shoulders, suggesting the leg-of-mutton idea. The plain sleeves are cut in one piece each and are fitted by small crosswise darts at the inside of the elbows. The shirt waist and three-quarter sleeves are made in one piece each, but the shirt waist sleeves are finished with openings at their lower edges, overlaps and straight cuffs, while the three-quarter sleeves are gathered into bands to which the rolled-over cuffs are attached. 10 The quantity of material required for the medium size is, for any sleeves, one and five-eighth yards twenty-one or twenty-four, one yard thirty-two or three-quarter yard for- ty-four inches wide with one and an eighth yards of banding for the three-quarter sleeves. Brand-New Fabric. A. brand-new fabric just from over the water is called pongee, serge. It is of a fabric like pongee, but has a serge twiL. It is an ideal material for the coat and skirt costume. Like the Dress. The silk stockings worn with-a party dress that is embroidered in silver are also embroidered in silver, the design, being the same, too, only in miniature. He Wasn't Jingling Millions; He Was Merely Playing Solitaire. The financier was the cynosure of all the passengers on board the transatlantic steamer. So great a man was he that he remained aloof from the rest of the passengers and had most of his meals in his room. When occasionally he took a turn on deck the few who had a bowing acquaintance with him very gratefully acknowledged his grudging salutes. The very atmosphere bristled with thoughts and sounds of dollars as he passed. One day a young man, Europ- bound, was taking a constitutional whose route led past the window of room wherein the financier sai- There was the great man, just a brus- view visible, big cigar in his mount- and hat cocked on one side of his head, his eyes directed down, appu- ently in the deepest thought. The young man, greatly impressed, said to himself: "Ah, there he sits, probably planning some great coup. Probably at this moment he is bating a joining of railroad inter- or a move that will make or unmake thousands. What a wonderful thing is the power of money!" Then he continued his stroll. "Back and forth he strode and about the fourth round trip he noticed that the hat had been tilted forward, not so much so that the young man could not see an anxious and strained look on the wealthy man's face. "The merger must be presenting some complex features," mused the young man. "The problem isn't working out well. This business of being a great man in the market has its drawbacks, too." Two or three times more the young man walked by. Finally he thought he would walk over closer to the window. He wanted to see the great man nearer. The glimpse he got rather changed his mind about the cause for the intent look and worried face. The great man was playing solitaire.—New York Sun. Gamekeeper's Gallows. In the olden days the gamekeeper set up his vermin gallows in each of his big woods. It was to his credit to show that he had killed a large amount of vermin; on his gallows he wrote his own testimonial. Nearly all the vermin he killed was duly displayed. Now the day of the gallows is passing. Keepers have little time to give to the display; nor do employers always encourage it. No doubt there is a growing feeling against the destruction of wild life involved by the preservation of game; the gallows foster this and lead to bitter, if often misjudged, attacks. Keepers are contenting themselves with a modified form of gallows, as the trunk of a tree, to which the heads, tails, or claws of the malefactors are nailed. Of course small gallows do not speak of the keeper's successful war waging in the old manner of the old fashioned, full measure pattern, but there is much in their favor. As one old keeper remarked of his tree trunk gallows, the faint odor was only enough to set off the scent of the flowers.—London Evening Standard. Cat Lights on Its Feet. Why cats when dropped from a height light on their feet nine times out of ten is one of the smaller problems that from time to time attract the attention of a certain type of scientists. Some years ago learned men in Paris gravely studied the phenomena, even had a lot of films taken of a cat falling from a great height. These showed that as soon as puss began to fall a curious turning movement of the hindquarters began, and just before she touched ground she was right side up. A German professor went his fellow-scientists one better and proved a cat in falling changed its centre of gravity by rotary twists of the tail. The professor further observed that these twists were the reverse of those of the rest of the body. So convinced was he of this fact that he fixed a movable tail to operate by clockwork on a dummy cat and lo, behold, the dummy cat when wound up and set in motion fell on its feet every time like a sure enough cat. Aeroplanist, consider the cat's tail and perhaps save your life.—New York Press. S. P. G. Tommy, fourteen years old, arrived home for the holidays, and at his father's request produced his account book, duly kept at school. Among the items "S. P. G." figured largely and frequently. "Darling boy," fondly exclaimed his doting mamma; "see how good he is—always giving to the missionaries." But Tommy's sister knew him better than even his mother did, and took the first opportunity of privately inquiring what those mystic letters stood for. Nor was she surprised ultimately to find that they represented, not the venerable Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, but "Sundries, Probably Grub."—London News. Some Consolation. A detective once, said that it was all wrong to suppose that the professional housebreaker works with coolness and calculation. On the contrary, he usually works in terror and haste, takes too much swag from one room and too little from another, and sometimes overlooks the silver in carrying off the electro.—Saturday Review. France's birth rate has fallen from thirty-two to nineteen and one-half per cent. in 100 years. THE HAVEN KHINGS FortBrowning The weight of the diamonds reported each year from the Capitals about three quarters of a ton. Twenty lambs, twelve rabbits, two hens, a duck and a grouse were found by gamekeepers, recently, in a fox's lardet. Two thousand invariable kitesens have been ordered for the Austrian army. Each of these is a four-wheled vehicle, weighing about half a ton, thoroughly equipped for cooking in the mud. It is stated that the vulture is the back of the hand are every bit as useful for the identification of criminals as hunting prints.

Eighteen miles is the record distance for a man's voice to be heard without artificial aid. This was in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. Only 164 persons in 1000 have right and left arms of equal strength. In 469 out of 1000 women the right arm is stronger than the left. In men 590 out of 1000 have the right arm the more powerful. Italy, with 32,000,000, has now the smallest population of any of the great Powers. New York City's egg record shows that at the present rate there will be 1,500,000,000 received on Manhattan Island this year, and that they will cost wholesale about $24,$00,000. During three months the police of New York City arrested 200 more chauffeurs than during the corresponding quarter of last year and 390 more than during the same time two years ago. Iron can be drawn into thinner wire than any other metal except gold. Rutgers street, New York City, was so named because it was laid out through the land of the old Rutgers homestead, and Catherine street was named after Catherine Rutgers, who lived there. One evidence of the return of prosperity in New York City is the fact that most of the cheap restaurants are giving seven prunes to a portion, where they gave five eighteen months ago. Swiss fire toads act as perfect barometers. If kept in glass jars containing water and a ladder, they will climb up the ladder when the weather is to be wet, and previous to dry weather will stay snugly in their watery homes. BODY LOCKED IN CONCRETE. Father's Plan to Prevent Its Removal by Widow of the Dead Man. S. Branson Davis has filled the grave of his son with cement and gravel to prevent the removal of the body by the widow of the dead man. His action anticipated the filing of a petition for injunction by Mrs. Davis to prevent any interference with her wish to remove the body. Previously Davis has stood guard armed with a shot-gun over the grave. The petition for injunction and bill in chancery were filed to-day by the widow, Mrs. Sarah Davis, of Vermillion. William R. Davis, husband of the petitioner, was killed in a railroad accident two years ago and buried in a cemetery lot supposed to be owned jointly by himself and his father. Recently the latter served notice on the widow that the lot belonged solely to him and that she could not be buried there. Mrs. Davis thereupon began preparations for the removal of the body, but Davis mounted guard with a shotgun. He also prepared to encase the casket in concrete so that it could not be moved. Sheriff Winn, who served the injunction papers, found Davis had completed the work, tons of concrete having been poured into the grave. Mrs. Davis says she will ask for a decree giving her the sole property rights in the corpse, with the privilege of removal.—Paris, Ill., Correspondence Chicago Tribune. Automatic Telephones According to the head of Austria's telegraphs the automatic telephone exchange system can be made to compete seriously with the manual system. He says that in New York it takes on the average sixteen seconds from the time the subscriber removes his telephone receiver to the time the ringing signal is set, whereas in the automatic system installed in Vienna for 100,000 subscribers this work is done in but ten seconds. Three seconds after the subscriber hangs up the receiver the line is clear. Owing to this saving of time, a larger number of messages can be delivered through the automatic exchange than through the manual exchange. Chicago News.

"Tis truly said that "he who laughs first, laughs well; but he who laughs last, laughs best." OPPRESSION in every instance, should bring unity. The laws aiming at us as a race should cause us to stick more closely together and work in unity for each other welfare. Let oppressive laws the more cause us to support the enterprices of the race and the establishment of new ones. HECTOR APOLLINAIRE is the name of a Negro who was admitted to the bar in Paris a few weeks ago. He is a native of Guadeloupe about 30 years old, tall and muscular and very black. He enjoys the distinction of being the only one of his race among the recognized lawyers of Paris.—Catholic Exchange. MR. LEE, the census supervisor for the tenth district has made himself a stalwart by asserting that he will divide the work in his district equally between the races. It is the studied effort on the part of some to disregard the claim of colored Republicans. Should Mr. Lee carry out his assertion he will certainly occupy a large space in the good thoughts of our people and will be honored accordingly. SAVANNAN is agitating the holding of a mammoth exposition in 1915 to commemorate the opening of the Panama canal. With a "pull altogether" this should be made a success and our colored citizens should do their part in adding to its success. THE TRIMUNE feels that whatever benefits our white citizens, benefits us also, therefore we should aid in all movements for the city's good. LITTLE more than a month hence the tax and registration books will be opened. At this time will come the test as to who will be able to register under the disfranchisement law. It behooves our voters all over the state to prepare for this events and by all means be ready and able to be placed on the list. Under no circumstances should our present registered number be diminished. THE TRIBUNE and its readers noted with pleasure a few weeks ago the report by Supt. Ashmore recommending an additional school building for our children. We feel very kindly to Mr. Ashmore for this very gracious recommendation, and the hope is expressed that he will do all that he can consistently to further this recommendation and give us this much needed building. The members of our board are among our best and foremost citizens and we feel assured that they will act favorably upon the recommendation of Supt. Ashmore along this line. "A bill has been introduced in the Georgian legislature to separate the school funds—allowing the taxes paid by the blacks to go to their schools. This seems to meet the approval of TIRS SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, as the taxes paid by the blacks would be a neat sum for school purposes. Here is another surrender to class legislation which is prohibited by law. But law is not law in Georgia unless the lawless want it so. THE TRIBUNE and other fair laws should oppose the measure on the higher grounds on constitutional law, for the final triumph of which we are all praying." The above is clipped from the Brooklyn Eye. Our contemporary is mistaken when it says that the measure meets our approval. We simply intended to infer that should the measure become a law and the fund be justly divided, that the colored children would receive more money than they are now receiving. We agree with the Eye that such measures, even though beneficial, should be fought "on the higher grounds of constitutional law." THE TRIBUNE is among that class of race journals that endeavor to hew to the line of principle. The loafing class not alone in this, but in other cities makes it hard for us as a race. The idle boy or man who would shirk work, should be forced to labor on the poor farm. In the vicinity of our office there are three pool rooms within "a stone's throw" of each other. From morning till mid- night these places are infested with a loafing class of boys and young men. How they live is a mystery. These loafers "hang out" at times on the street corners using vulgar language and insulting passers-by. At times they begin fighting among themselves and cause the air to be vivid with words. Generally the places are not to be seen. Chief Aus in and his excellent force should clean out these dives and keep the loafers from infesting the street corners. The returns of our people in this county as consolidated by Tax Reciever Baker, show that during the year they returned $621,500.00 for city real estate, land and improvements $225,670.00, and for other lands, merchandise, household goods, etc., $25,552.00, making a total of $872,722.00. This is a good showing for a people who about forty years ago were pennyless and ignorant. This much should inspire us to greater effort and next year the amount should be greatly increased especially if our young men and those of family would purchase property and homes. We can hardly believe that we are living in a civilized country after reading the accounts of the numerous cases of lynchings throughout the country, and too, for such trivial cases. For instance in a Southern state a colored man was lynched because he had the audacity of suing a white man who killed his cow. This is the limit. Another recent case was the shooting of a colored man and the burning of his body in a town, surrounded by hundreds of people. How revolting! What's the use sending missionaries to Africa. There is sufficient work at home for them. In it all we advise our people to continue to be law-abiding and do not chafe under wrongs being inflicted upon them and laws that are oppressive. Convict Captain and Guard Dismissed In our last issue mention was made of the death of a convict on the chaining of this county and the suspension of the convict captain and guard who were charged with having cruelly beaten the inoffensive prisoner. The prompt action of the county commissioners in acting on the case was commended. An investigation of the facts in the case was held at the court house on Tuesday. It developed that the poor prisoner was sick, having been previously struck in the head which caused a serious wound, and that being in this condition was unable to work and was beaten and otherwise ill-treated by the captain and guard. The county commissioners decharged them. It is rumored that the case will be presented to the grand jury for indictment. Our able county commissioners need the commendation of the good citizens in this case and in their endeavor to keep up the good reputation of our county in the matter of good treatment to its councils. Practical and Interesting Paper. At the recent session of the Georgia State Medical Association held in Augusta, Dr. J. Walter Williams, one of our prominent physicians, read a practical and interesting paper entitled "Report of Some Abdominal Surgical Cases of Pathologic Traumatic and Freakish Origin." This excellent paper was published in full in the Journal of the National Medical Association of Tuskegee. It contains description of several cases attended by the doctor, and it is very interesting even to the laymen. Cutton-Lewis Our old friend Editor Walter I. Lewis of the Metropolis, elicits our congratulation on becoming a beneficent. This happy event took place on Wednesday evening last at the Ebenezer Church at Jacksonville, and the charming bride is Miss Caroline C. Cutton, one of the prominent teachers of that city.

National Negro Business League All things considered, the tenth annual session of the National Negro Business League, held here this week was the largest, finest and most profitable of the series which began in Boston in 1900 The citizens of Louisville had been heralded far and wide as a people noted for open-handed hospitality and general public spirit. On this occasion they not only sustained this time honored reputation, but outdid themselves in providing happy homes, a commodious auditorium for the meetings, and a program of entertainments that kept the stranger within their gates constantly on the go from the call to order at Chestnut Street C M E Church on Wednesday morning until the curtain fell upon the magnificent banquet given by the local committee on Friday night at spacious Liedorkranz hall. The Ohio Falls Metropolis more than kept every promise made The delegates in attendance numbered upwards of five hundred, far exceeding the registration of any registration of any previous ineting. In quality as well as in quantity they measured up to the high standard set by the organization. Every conceivable phase of Negro activity in the arena of business industries and the professions were aby represented and the addresses gave evidence of careful preparation, abounded in 'practical suggestions, and made a lasting impression upon all who heard them. The Louisville convention marks a distinct step forward, for the National Negro Business League in a commercial, moral and inspirational sense, and perpetuity of the organization has been more firmly established than ever before. Through the time that the deepest interest was manifested on the part of both races and all classes of citizens and to the final day's proceedings, indicated as high, a degree of enthusiasm as that which characterized the first. At every point the magnetic influence of the personality of Dr. Booker T Washington was in evidence and at no time was there a departure from the ideals upon which the League was founded. McBae Dots.

Brown, pastor. Celebrating the Fifthth Anniversary of Freedom Some time ago about May 31, Principal E. L. Blackshear, of the Prarie View State Normal School for Negroes, addressed an open letter to Booker T. Washington through The New York Age calling upon the Negro people to celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the freedom of the Negro people. At the same time he invited Dr. Washington to give the weight of his influence toward making such a project a success. Dr. Washington, in reply to Mr. Blackshear's suggestion, has sent him the following letter: My Dear Mr. Blackshear: Replying further to your communication of some weeks ago, in which you ask me to take the lead in a movement for the holding of an exposition in 1913 to celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the freedom of the Negro race I would state that I am giving this, matter very careful consideration and in due time I shall hope to reach a definite decision. In the meantime I should like to get all the information and all the opinions on the subject from as many sources as I can. The National Negro Business League, which meets in Louisville on the 18th, 19th, and 20th of August, as I understand it, is going to take up the subject for consideration. I understand that you are to be present on that occasion. Yours very truly, BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Aug. 12, 1909. St. Paul Dots. Attendance was very large at each service Sunday. Rev W T Moreau probed an excellent sermon at ra o'clock, and those present were much impressed The Woman Missionary society was well attended at a o'clock. Rev Reed addressed the society. His address was timely, uplifting and very encouraging. Too much cannot, be said in praise of the good and noble work the Woman Missionary Society is doing and those who attend these Sunday afternoon meetings are benefited, Rev. W, T. Moore preached again at the evening service in his usual spiritual way. He drove to the heart of his hearers the soul stirring message of God On tomorrow services as usual and friends in general are invited to attend. F. B. B. Chureh. The baptism on last Sunday morning was preceded by a sermon on baptism by Licentiate Charlie Wright. It was much appreciated by all who heard him. The communion service was very largely attended. There were many visiting teachers, deacons and members. Rev. Wright told them to feel free and make themselves at home. Rev. Wright read for the lesson Luke 22:47-61. The text was from Luke 22:55; the subject was "Peter denied Christ" The sermon was an excellent lesson to Christians, showing that by associating with bad company we will be made to deny our Lord, you will be like a stock of corn growing among weeds, you never will amount to anything, the corn may have one ear on it with a few grains on the ear, just so your fruit will be very scant. When the bad company has reduced you to nothing they will leave you to perish and die. The choir sang "Let Him in." Rev Wright led the hymn "See in the vineyard of the Lord" He made very beautiful remarks and gave many fine illustrations while inviting sinners to the mercy seat. Prayer was offered. We are very anxious to have you attend our services and do not forget our Tuesday night prayer meeting. F. A. B. Church. F. A. B. Church The palpit was filled on last Sunday by the Rev G H Howell formerly of Union Bethel Baptist Church, Jefferson County Ga, but recently connected with this church. The pastor Rev W L Jones is now on vacation and visiting it of interest in North Carolina, will be back to assume charge on the first Sunday in Sepember. The sermons preached by Rev Howell were richly enjoyed by the members and friends present. The rally which was planned by the pastor some few weeks ago resulted in a crowning success and marked much to his credit as a financier as well as pastor. Despite the dull season of the year for raising money in churches by means of rallies $662.82 represents the work of 100 per cent appointed as captain, less eleven who haven't reported up to last Sunday. When the remaining eleven will have reported no doubt the rally will reach $800 00. The most successful captains are as follows: Captain No 2 Deacon B H Maxwell raised $38.95, Captain No 32 Brother C H Johnson $37.78, Captain No 9 Trustee J H John $22.50, Captain No 26 Brother J H Saiders, $20.95, Captain No 1, the pastor figured prominently among the successful captains, but was not entered into the contest. Brother C H Johnson No 32 won the laurel for having reported the most money at the time first appointed to terminate the rally, but Deacon B H Howell was out in the extension of the work when the captain reserved credit for having raised the above figures, but space will not permit their names and amount. The wide spread enthusiasm of this rally will no doubt bring in many envelopes with dollars and coins for several months to come, as quite a number have been distributed among the membership by each captain. Tomorrow will be Missionary day. The Sunday School will have special exercises commensurate with the day at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Supt J A Bryder and his efficient corps of teachers have been drilling the children for several weeks and quite a spicy programme will be carried out. You are invited to each service.

Frequent rains are likely to make gapes among young chicks more prevalent than usual. It is important, therefore, to use preventives instead of valeting until the disease appears and then try, to cure it. One diet which is recommended as a preventive is the use of pounded garlic with the usual food (one garlic bulb to ten' chicks daily).—Farmers' Home Journal. Over-ring Stock. The following advice from a Western fruit receiving firm is more or less appropriate for shippers in this section: "Do not load over-ripe stock in crates, it will quickly depreciate the value of your good stuff. Ship to arrive the fore part of the week if possible and always use standard crates. Use extra sleepers in all crates so as to prevent the smashing of the fruit, having strips running lengthwise on all crates instead of crosswise. Early shippers will realize a good price, but clings are hard to sell."—American Cultivator. Best Invigorator. Pure, fresh air is the best invigorator on earth. It is necessary in the poultry house, the incubator room and the brooder house. The old fowls must have it, the eggs require it, and without it the chicks will die. Care must be used in supplying it, however. So arrange the ventilation that there will be no direct drafts, but an easy, free circulation, carrying out the poisoned air and supplanting it with fresh, sweet, pure air that the Creator has so bountifully furnished for man, beast, bird and reptile.—Farmers' Home Journal. Self-Adjusting Flood Gate. 'A flood-gate that is self sustalning is pretty handy upon the farm where large creeks pass through and much stock is kept in proximity to them. Take a good-sized sound oak log and fashion it at each end like a windlass, having the log long enough to reach across the gap in the creek. At each side of the creek bank set a good heavy post deep enough into the ground that it will not wash away. At the bottom of each of these posts fasten just at the surface of the creek bed the windlass-headded log, by using two clips made of heavy tire-iron. Into this log bore a number of holes and place upright into each hole a good stout oak stake and GREEK BORROW fasten with a heavy nail. In the up- stream side of the log mortise a piece of 4x4 material into the log securing it with a splice nail. This latter piece serves as a weight, in case of high- water when the rubbish, etc., will pass over the gate with the force of the water and as the water subsides the weight brings the gate back into posi- tion again. This gate if made properly, is convenient, long lasting, cannot be washed away and is posi- tive proof against all kinds of stock, as well as hogs.—Geo W. Brown, in the Epitomist. Improve the Quality. - In poultry, as well as in butter and milk, the farmer's wife can establish a reputation for having the best. Let her see to it that eggs over a week old are never marketed, and when she kills and markets birds let them be in prime condition—well-fattened and carefully dressed and cleaned. There are people in every city and in nearly every village who want such products a little better than the common run of only half-decent quality, and these people are always willing to pay a good price for good articles. They want eggs to be absolutely fresh and cleansed from filth and impurities which do not make the egg appear appetizing, and they want their fowls to be fat and carefully prepared for the table. Particular patrons are always willing to pay for the extra care and labor required to bring about these conditions, and it is a profitable field of work which should receive more attention than it does. R. B. Sando, in the Epitomist. Food Stuffs by Weights. Doctor Wiley, the chemist of the Department of Agriculture, is pushing the campaign to induce the sale of food stuffs to the consumer by weight instead of volume. The doctor severely arraigns the manufacturers who have steadily opposed Representative Mann's amendment to the Pure Food Law to compel the sale of foods by weights. Egg-selling by the dozen instead of by weight, for instance, is a relic of pioneer days when people had neither scale or measure. If there is any food product which should be sold by weight it is eggs. Scrub-hen eggs will run eleven, twelye, or thirteen to the pound. Leghorns will run nine or ten, Minorcas seven and a half to eight and Brahmas sometimes as heavy as seven to the pound. These figures vary considerably with differing flocks. And yet as a rule all sell for the same price. Large, selected eggs will bring an advance price to the fancy trade, but still much less than their real value. For instance, if twelve-to-the-pound eggs fetch twenty-five cents a dozen, seven-to-the-pound eggs should bring forty-three cents a dozen. The adoption of the weight method of egg selling would probably do more than anything else to obliterate the scrub hen. Matlinz Breeders. The subject of mating the breeding pen would doubtless attract more ready attention in a "fanciers' journal" than in a farm paper, but nevertheless it is a matter that is deserving of more attention than it gets from the farming class. We do not mean by this that the farmer should go out into his poultry yard with an "American Standard of Perfection" in his hand and carefully pick out only those birds of the highest "fancy" quality, although this is a good thing. But by all means the farmer should breed from his few best birds rather than indiscriminately from the whole bunch of good, bad and indifferent fowls running around in his barnyard. The fancier who gets to the top is the one who carefully and closely picks out each year only his very choicest specimens and breeds from these exclusively. As a natural result, his flocks become better and better each year. Following out this same practical idea, the farmer who is breeding for heavy egg-production should pick out his very best layers to be used as breeders, and in the course of a few generations the habit of prolificacy will become firmly established in this family. In the same way the man who is breeding for great size and good market points in his fowls should annually pick out his largest and best developed specimens and breed only from these. It will not be long until this man will have a reputation for marketing the biggest and best chickens in all the neighborhood and he will get better prices than his unprogressive neighbor. Not only this, but when one markets, say, one hundred chickens at ten cents per pound, it is at once clear that the lot that averages eight pounds each will bring $80, while the lot that averages five pounds each will bring only $50. The difference in weight is not uncommon between the carefully selected flock and the unculed one, and the difference of $30 represents an amount obviously worth looking after.—R. B. Sando, in the Epitomist. Care of Poults. Poor little turkeys; how they shorten their necks and cry 'their hungry note. You, say they have plenty to eat, but won't eat much. If this is so, either the feed doesn't suit, or else they are lousy. None on their heads or necks you say. Perhaps not, but gently spread their wing into a fan and look closely between the quills, and the chances are that the grooves will be full of lice, mostly tiny, and likely some are spilling over the grooves. If there are few or many, or even should there be none, sprinkle thickly with insect powder, and with the finger, rub into the grooves. This, if repeated weekly, or if very badly infested, repeated every three days, will rout the lice and prevent them from coming. Poults dearly love and thrive on milk curd. I always made it as for table use, scalded the clabber milk to sweeten it, then squeezed or pressed the curd dry, seasoned with salt and pepper until palatable. Feed on a sanded pan or board. How they will eat; they can hardly get enough to satisfy them. Save all the tops (green part) of the onions, to chop for the poults. This is very healthful for them, and if they do not eat heartily of it fed alone, mix in with the curd. Make their bread, whether whet or corn, quite hot with black pepper. As we never had enough curd for the poults, we fed it, with the onion salad, for their breakfast, and gave bread through the rest of the day. Sand was never mixed in with the feed as for ducklings, but at least one feed a day was given on sanded nans. No sloppy feed was given; if the bread was hard, after softening in clean water, it was squeezed dry before being fed. Poults require lots of clean water, in clean vessels. Remember they, are the aristocrats of the poultry, yard, ducklings are pleblans, while chicks are just common folk. Nothing will cause disease quicker in the flock of poults than impure drinking water. Their quarters must be kept clean too, and more care taken of them while young, than one gives the chick, especially as regards clean feed and impure air; but I love to grow them; besides they are quite a money maker. We had a pen or yard of boards, built around each brood coop, made high enough to prevent the pouls flying over the tops. Pouls are so silly they, will follow after anything, and besides a rain or dew bath results in stunting them, or else they die in a few days. After the red shows on their heads, they are the hardest of poultry.—E. C., in the Indiana Farmer. The Salvation Army is established in fifty-two countries.

"Fruz Flamingo, where do you-get-your frocks made? You always look so elegant."—From 'Simplissimus.' It may interest readers to know that the problem of the square and triangle can be solved very easily if the required number of pieces is five, instead of four. Those who do not know that solution may like to try for it. Here is something that is going to make trouble, sure as fate. The thing is not so much to find the answer as to prove it. Electricians are usually pretty liberal, with their wired, but just to educate his assistant a bit one of them took the boy into a room which was forty-feet-long, fourteen feet wide and twelve feet high. There were no openings or offsets on the two ends or on one side. Here is the way it looked: B A wire had been tapped at A, one foot from the floor, and exactly in the middle of that side of the room—seven feet from each wall. It was necessary to carry a wire from thereto to the point B, which was exactly in the middle of the opposite wall, seven feet from each side, but two feet from the ceiling. This wire-might be run along the floor, the walls or the ceiling. What was the shortest cut the wire could take from A to B, and how do you prove it? In your answer, if you cannot draw, call the possible locations for the wire; the floor, the side wall, the A wall, the B wall and the ceiling. The wire must pass over some of those five—New York Sun Clever Boy. As it happened, the boss was talking to a customer when a boy came in. Thinking he wanted to buy something, he excused himself, and going over to the boy asked him what he could do for him. The boy told him that he came in answer to his advertisement and asked for the job. Well, of course, the boss got mad by being disturbed while he was talking to a customer. He said to the boy. "You go outside and walk a block. If I call you back, why, I will hire you; if I don't, why, you just keep right on walking." The boy did as he was told, but going out he picked up a shovel that was standing near the door, put it on his back and started down the street. Before he, had gone ten feet away the old man was after him, yelling: "Come back! Come back!" The boy came back, took off his coat, asked where, he wanted him to work—downstairs or upstairs, or where. The man took one good look at him and said: "I guess I'll hire you. Never mind putting your coat on. Start right in."—Judge. Subdned Sabbath Breaking.

In an Irish garrison town a theatrical company was giving performances, and some soldiers from the local barracks were engaged to act as supers. Their duties included the waging of a fierce fight in which, after a stirring struggle, one army was defeated on a given signal, from theprompter. For a few nights all went well, but on the Friday evening a special performance of the piece was to be given under the patronage of the Colonel and other officers of the garrison. The two armies met as usual at the end of the second act, when they fought and fought and kept on fighting, regardless of the agonized glare in the eye of their (actor) general, who hoarsely ordered the proper army to "Retreat, confound you!" But the fight still went on, and soon the horrified manager saw the wrong army being driven slowly off the stage, still fighting desperately. Down came the curtain amid roars of laughter, and the funning manager hastened to ask the delinquents why they had failed to retreat on hearing the signal. "Retraite," roared a burly fusilier, whose visage had been badly hattered, "and it is retraite ye'd have us! wid the colonel and all the officers in the boxes?"—Tit-Bits.

The soil of Florida being mainly of a sandy nature precludes the making of hard roads except by a top surface of rock, shell or other similar material. For this reason hard surface roads in Florida are a luxury In most counties except Dade, and here there are more miles of rock road than in any other county in the State of Florida. To those unfamiliar with the subject this is probably a surprising statement, but to all good roads enthusiasts it will appear familiar. At the present time there are some 200 miles of hard, rock roads in Dade County, other than the paved streets of cities and towns, and the present Board of County Commissioners have other roads in course of construction and are anticipating the building of fifty miles more of new roads outside of the 200 miles already built, and the new roads in course of construction and contemplated. The city of Miami and the city of West Palm Beach are thoroughly paved and are an example of city road building, having practically the best paved streets in the South. These roads are constructed of the lime rock that is quarried at the lower part of Dade County, principally in the neighborhood of the town of Olus. This rock has been given the name of Miami rock, and it is seldom referred to as Dade County or Florida rock. It is white, ilmelike in substance and hardens with exposure. At Atlantic Beach, Mr. H. E. Bemis, manager of the Hotel Continental, also of the Royal Poincelana at Palm Beach, and the Colonial at Nassau, made a valuable experiment in road building by first putting down a heavy layer of cinders, covering this with a coating of five to eight inches of Miami rock, the result being that the rains percolated through the clinders and the exposure to the air cemented the whole mass into a solid macadam. This method of road building is now being carried out on the Okeechobee road extending from West Palm Beach across the marsh lands to the farming and fruit growing country that is now being developed. About ninety miles of the county roads extend in a north and south direction, a part of the main trunk line of the so-called Appian Way that is expected eventually will connect through from the Homestead country, south of Miami, to Jacksonville; this ninety miles extends from one half mile south of West Palm Beach. The distance between West Palm Beach and Miami is about seventy-six miles, and south of Miami to one-half mile below Perrine the distance is about eighteen miles, which makes up the entire main line, except the connecting link between Homestead and Redlands, of about four miles. Running to this main line there are in the neighborhood of 110 miles of rock road, these laterals being largely in the Miami district, while a portion are in the district lying to the north and south of Miami. Owing to the rocky nature of the land around Miami, a great many roads have been built by private subscriptions, as the parties in clearing their land were able to put the rock where the roads were required, and with the private subscriptions the county roller and other machinery secured to complete the road. Among the best of these lateral roads running out from Miami is the stretch to the Orange Glade section, five and one-half miles in length. To General Samuel C. Lawrence's grape fruit grove three and one-half miles of the best rock road in the State is built, and is a favorite thoroughfare for farmers, visitors and home people. At West Palm Beach there is under construction the famous Okeechobee road, a little over four miles in length at the present time, a road that opens to settlement some of the finest truck and vegetable lands in Dade County. These are practically all the laterals in the northern portion of the county, except a few small stretches of road at Stuart, Delray, Bovton and other towns. While some of the best lands in the county are in its northern part, owing to adverse circumstances the northern part has not been favored by the county commissioners in road building, and it was also practically impossible for private individuals to build roads because of the lack of rock with which to build without paying heavy transportation charges from the quarries near Miami, as the lands that are being opened west of West Palm Beach, and, in fact, all the land in the northern end of the county from Stuart to Deerfield are free from surface rock. While this makes it inexpensive for the settler in clearing and preparing his land it makes it a little harder for road building. In the southern portion of the county, in that part south of Miami where rock has been available, the good roads are of extreme value, as they have been instrumental in the great development that has taken place in that section, as owing to these good roads the lands in that section have been brought into prominence through their accessibility. The farmers and fruit growers in that section realizing the value of good roads and being able to construct them at a minimum cost have practically been good road branks and have built roads partially at their own expense and partially at the expense of the county. They are now seeking to have the twelve-mile gap between Perrine and Homestead built, after which it is expected that they will be content for several years. The average income of American doctors is $800 a year. WORTH MOUNTAINS OF GOLD During Change of Life, says Mrs. Chas.

Insect Stings. Stings and bites of insects are extrem (/ dangerous at all times, and, especially when the system is not in a condition to resist the poison injected. In many insects the-nature of the poison has not been aceratified. While in most of them it is of an acid, irritant nature, in others it may contain a powerful cardiac sedative and depressant, and in still others organisms pure or mixed cultures may be introduced with the sting or bite. Apart from the natural poison used by insects, it should not be forgotten that flies and other insects that live on carrion may easily carry contagion and inoculate, the persons whom they bite or sting, says Health. In the case of ordinary bites and stings the chemical antidote is a strong solution of bicarbonate of soda or potash, which counteracts the acid of the sting. Suction at the wound in all these varieties of stings and bites will draw out some of the poison, and until some antitoxin treatment can be found which will prove an antidote to the bacterial poison introduced little can be done beyond the stimulating and supporting treatment, with attention to symptoms.—New York World.

A Boston woman, who is a fond mother writes an amusing article about her experience feeding her boys. Among other things she says: "Three chubby, rosy-cheeked boys, Bob, Jack and Dick, aged 6, 4 and 2 years respectively, are three of our reasons for using and recommending the food, Grape-Nuts, for these youngsters have been fed on Grape-Nuts since infancy, and often between meals when other children would have been given candy. "I gave a package of Grape-Nuts to a neighbor whose 3-year-old child was a weazened little thing, 11 half the time. The little tot ate the Grape-Nuts and cream greedily, and the mother continued the good work, and it was not long before a truly wonderful change manifested itself in the child's face and body. The results were remarkable, even for Grape-Nuts. "Both husband and I use Grape-Nuts every day and keep strong and well and have thred of the finest, healthiest boys you can find in a day's march." Many mothers instead of destroying the children's stomachs with candy and cake give the youngsters a handful of Grape-Nuts when they are begging for something in the way of sweets. The result is soon shown in greatly increased health, strength and mental activity. Look in pigs. for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." Ever read the above letter?

The willow-whisper—the day's end. With the arm of the village street. A caller from the city. A friend. —Richard Le Gallagne, in The Delicate Yates' Ranch. By HERO STRONG. "Stranger hereabouts, I reckon?" said the driver, inquiringly, as he pulled up his horses on the plateau to get their wind, before beginning the descent into the gulch, through which the perilous mountain road ran in a narrow track of white dust, fringed by wild sagebrush and chapparral. "Reckoned everybody knowed the story of Yates' Ranch?" I reminded the driver that for four years I had been in Europe, and that this was my first trip overland to California. It was in '49, long before a Pullman car had been dreamed of, and while the great railway, which now stretches from sea to sea, was a magnificent scheme yet unborn in the busy brains of its projectors, who at that time were careless schoolboys, doubtless, intent on tops and balls, and kites with stupendous tails. Every traveler of that time knows the dismal track which had to be crossed in the overland journey—mostly on the backs of mules, but sometimes for a little distance on the top of lumbering coaches, every lurch of which seemed to wrench body and soul apart, to say nothing of the imminent risk of broken backs and necks by being hurled over some yawning precipice. Yates' Ranch was one of the very few human habitations we had passed during the last three days, but no smoke ascended from its chimney, and the wild mountain bushes grew on the rude doorstep. It was evidently uninhabited. For want of something better to say I had suggested as much to old Saunders, the driver. I knew by the expression on his face that there was a story. I passed my pipe along to him. Nothing like the influence of tobacco to loosen a man's tongue. "Come, old fellow," said I, "let's hear the whole of it." Saunders drew a meditative whiff or two, and started his horses. "Stiddy there, Digby," said he. "Whoa, Satan. Drat the critter, he allers shies at that heap of stones, and no wonder, for that's the grave of a murderer, stranger." Here Saunders blew out a mouthful of smoke in my face, whipped in his leaders and regarded the distant snow-clad peaks of the Sierras with a contemplative eye. "Reckon we'll have snow afore many days, stranger. The air shaves like a razor." "But about the murderer's grave, old fellow? "Oh! ah! wall, it's a niceish sort of a place for a feller of that kind to put hisself under. Good lookout, if he should fancy to rise up and take a squint around. Snug, too, with bushes all around, and doosed handy to where she's burled, too, if that's any object." Saunders took a slight pull at a flask which he carried in his pocket, and after tendering the vile smelling stuff to me, and smiling with evident satisfaction at my refusal, he began his story. "Five years ago last June Tom Yates cum here from New York. His wife was along with him. None of your second class trash about them. Both of 'em was upper crust clean through. The woman, she was as handsome as a picter, with a red on her cheeks that made a feller think of the clouds about sundown, and a flash in her eyes that no diamonds I ever seed could begin to hold a candle io. She was a regeler high stepper—like that off leader there—jest the kind of woman for women folks to hate like pisen, and for men to go crazy over. She had piles of dresses and jewels, and I've seen her, dressed like a queen, cooking Yates' supper of hominy and venison, and never losing her dignity a particle. "Yates he was one of them quiet; still tongued chaps that a body can't find out much about, but he loved his wife to distraction, and couldn't skerecery bear her out of his sight. His eyes follored her all the time, and he'd fly to help her about anything he could do, jest as if he was her lover instid of her husband. And he was a mighty handy man about a house. "He had a claim back there on that yer hill that we've passed—a sort of a rich 'un, too; and as it was more'n he could work he staked some of it off and sold it out in lots to other parties. So that at one time there was quite a smartish little village Yates' Ranch. "One dark, stormy night a couple of strangers rid up to the ranch and wanted to see Yates. I was laid up with the rhumatiz then, and was staying a few days at Yates", for he was a charitable fellow, and I had neither kith nor kin. I couldn't move hand nor foot for the cussed pain, but I could see and hear sharp enuff. The two strangers came in and thrown off their wet coats. Mrs. Yates was a stooping over the fire baking the bannocks for supper when they came in. She riz up slowly and looked at them! Never I forget the way that sunset red went out of her face. She growed as-pale as a corpse, thrown her arms up in a wild, crazy way and started to rush out of the room. One of the men—the one she had been looking at—grabbed her by the arm savagely, and his voice sounded like the hirs of a rattlesnake. "I have found you!' said he. 'And now, Elizabeth Osgood, I will have my revenge! False wite! heartless mother! you shall die!' "He drew a pistol and pointed it at her head. "Yates sprang upon him fiercely, but the woman laid her white hand on his arm and held him quiet while she spoke to the stranger. "John Osgood," said she, in a cold, hard tone, that made my aching bones shake with terror, I am no wife of yours! You won me by a lie! You told me that Tom was false—was married to another—and I, fool that I was, believed the words of a tongue which had never spoken anything but lies. And out of plque I married you! You knew I hated you, for did I not tell you so? Afterward Tom came! I loved him! In heaven's sight I was his wife—what did I care how the world thought? I fled with him to this wild solitude, and I will never leave him! You may kill him if you like—my corpse you can carry with you—but my living body—never! "How her eyes sparkled, and her cheeks flamed with crimson! She looked like a glantess, but she was a little woman, and as she stood there in her rage, her shining brown head would not have reached above my shoulder. For a moment Osgood fell back, and I thought he was going to back out, but the next instant he sprang forward. Yates closed with him. There was a dreadful struggle. Both used knives, and the blood was red all over the floor. "I groaned and cussed because I was obliged to lay there and not lift a finger, and the other man was holding the woman. Yates was getting the better of Osgood, for he was a strong wiry man, and he had a temper like a tiger. Osgood realized it, so did the other stranger. "Curse him! shoot him, Osgood, and have done with it!" cried he. "There was a sharp click of a pistol, and the sound of the shot almost together, and Yates fell over in a heap on the floor. I knew he was done for, and I shrieked like a fiend my rage at being so helpless. "'I am finished, Lizzle,' said the poor feller. 'Good-bye, darling—good-bye!' "She broke away from the man who held her, and flung herself on the dying Yates. I heard her words distinctly. "'Kill me, Tom!' she cried, 'Quick, before he seizes me again! Your pistol—where is it? Here is my heart! Oh, Tom! Tom! thank heaven, we shall die together!' "Then the sharp report of a pistol shattered the air. I saw the smoke cloud for a moment Yates and his love, then his arms were wound round her and hers round him, and they were dead. Stranger, rhumatiz was powerless to keep me there any longer. I leaped to my feet and out into the night I went, rousing the miners from their beds and stirring them up to vengeance. "Already Osgood and his friend were mounting their horses, but they never stirred ten steps from that ranch up yonder. "In them days we didn't wait for no judges nor juries. Before two hours had gone by we had Osgood snugly buried under the pile of rocks I showed ye, and t'other chap had been sot adrift as naked as he cum into the world, and as good a coat of tar on him as could be spread. The feathers we had to leave out, because we had none. "I reckon some folks'll say that Osgood had a right to claim his wife, but we fellers didn't think so, under the sarcumstances, and besides, our blood was up, and there's no knowing what a miner'll do when that's the case. "Yes, stranger, the ranch is haunted, and I couldn't drive them leaders of mine past there after dark if I was to whip 'em till they dropped. Hosses is nigh about human, stranger, and some of 'em a leetle beyond that. Whoa, Digby! Stiddy, now, Satan!"—Good Literature. Downright Laziness.

Dixie gazed with reproachful eyes at his close-fisted friend. "Seems to me, you's powahful stingy, George Washington," he said, and then continued in a heartbroken voice, "Wouldn't yo' gib me one?"

As a result of the labors of trained explorers of the bureau of plant industry in China the forest service has been furnished with a supply of seeds of the pistacia chinensis, an oriental tree resembling somewhat the California pepper tree. These seeds were gathered from trees growing in the province of Shantung, China, where some of them have reached large proportions. A tree standing at the grave of Confucius has a diameter of over four feet. They are well adapted to dry regions and are very long lived. It is hoped the trees grown from this seed will serve as a stock of the pistachio nut of commerce. The seeds will be planted at the Lytle creek nursery station in southern California, and if the plantations are successful they will be grown extensively for reforestation purposes.

One of the principal problems considered by the International Meteorological Conference in London last week was the question of wireless marine weather reports. Professor Willis L. Moore, representing the United States, urged the necessity of adopting regulations that will compel a ship beyond a certain tonnage to carry wireless instruments and operators and to take at noon, Greenwich time, a daily observation of the weather. Observations received by a ship would be transmitted to other vessels, so that by means of such relays the weather conditions over the entire ocean would in a few minutes reach the central meteorological offices in the United States, England, France, Germany and other interested nations. Forecasts could then be made and distributed to the vessels by wireless telegraphy. It is believed that a universal system such as this would be a great factor in saving life and property both on land and at sea. The conference, has adopted an international weather signal code. Heretofore American vessels have used flags by day and lights by night to convey storm warnings, while other nations have used balls and cones. Now any one will be able to read the weather signals, no matter what his nationality may be—Scientific American. TO COVER A LARGE HOLE.

Liberia is in the midst of another crisis, and as usual the little negro republic finds itself between the upper and the nether millstones of aboriginal African savagery, which it has never been able to control, and selfishly interested European civilization imposed upon Africa in the form of colonial establishments. When Liberia was founded now nearly a century ago by the optimistic advocates, of colonization as the solution of our own African problem, Sierra Leone, a little British colony of fugitive slaves from various places, was the only region near at hand under European control. Few persons then forsaw the partition of Africa by the whites and the coming international struggle for spheres of influence. The earliest immigrants were sent out by the Colonization Society, organized with so much hope in 1817 with Bushrod Washington as president, and afterward patronized in all sincerity by James Monroe. They tried at first to find homes in Slerry Leone, but driven forth by the suspicions of the British and their black colonists, they went further down the coast to a singularly unhealthy district. Many died, some returned to the United States and just, when the colony was ready to give up its plan Elijah Johnson, a colored man of courage a vigor, announced that he had valently sought a home for two years and that having found one he now intended to keep it. Johnson thus saved the colony from immediate and ignominious failure. This was in 1822 when the handful of colonists was at length settled upon part of the coast region that Liberia now occupies. Other colonists were sent out and friends of the negro in Maryland established hard by an independent colony of their own which was named for the state. After friction and some war "Maryland" was incorporated with Liberia and it now constitutes one of the four counties of the republic. At first and for twenty-five years the Colonization society managed the affairs of the colony from this side of the world, and then in 1847 it was organized as an independent republic with a constitution largely modelled upon our own. Only colored landowners could vote, and there was a property qualification for most important offices. The government of the United States was extremely cautious about taking any official responsibility for Liberia, and these most important offices. The government of the United States was extremely cautious about taking any official responsibility for Liberia, and the most important European countries recognized the little republic fifteen years before we accorded it that grace. We did so in 1862, whereas the first president of the republic with his octoonor wife had been received by Queen Victoria, Louis Napoleon and the rulers of Holland, Belgium and Prussia in the late '40s or early '50s. The president's widow was still living a few years since not far from Battersea Park in London. Queen Victoria took a genuine interest in Liberia and her portrait is still to be seen in hundreds of Liberian homes. Some English philanthropists contributed the money with which Liberia nearly fifty years ago bought a large area of the hinterland, which the British Government afterward with little ceremony and less show of right snatched from the republic. Louis Napoleon in his days of splendor gave Liberia a small gunboat and accoutrements for 1000 men. This gunboat was used in helping the colony of Maryland to coerce the savage natives. Liberia at her largest, when whites in America and Europe were watching her experiment with sympathy and unselfish interest, had an area of about 50,000 square miles. Unhappily for her, however, her coast line is important strategically and in time she found herself hemmed in between Sierra Leone and the French ivory coast and at the back in her wide wilderness bordered by French West Africa. Liberia had trouble from the beginning with the native wild tribes. They are supposed to number between 1,500,000 and 2,000,000 souls. Some have a strong admixture of Caucasian blood, not immediately of European origin but the result of contact with African whites from the east and north. These peoples have arts and a sort of civilization, but they have not been friendly to the blacks and mulattoes from America. Some peoples of the interior were and still are cannibals, while on the coast were fierce wild tribes who refused the law of the newcomers. When ships were wrecked on the coast these savages plundered the crew and passengers and then the European nation from which such ships halted would demand satisfaction and cash payments of Liberia. A payment of a few hundred dollars for indemnity to the crew of a German ship the poverty stricken little republic sold after a year through the good offices of resident white traders. There was friction with the whites also on the frontier. The British of Sierra-Leone complained that Liberia did not restrain the savages of the interior from injuring the colony, and like complaint came from French West Africa. The small civilized population of Liberia really had hardly penetrated into the interior, and it is even today one of the least known parts of Africa. It is known, however, to possess rubber trees, timber of value, plenty of iron, some gold and no little copper and lead. It also has fine healthy highlands, with mountains rising to 10,000 feet, big game of many kinds and an interesting flora. It was the old story over again; here was the hustling and curious European restlessly in search of adventure and conquest, and Liberian lay between the French and the English on the coast with that tempting area bigger than many European states, and that strategic coast line. Naturally "delimitation" began. England took the first slice in the name of a scientific frontier, and five or six years ago France found excuse for a new rectification of boundaries which gives her 2000 square miles of what was Liberian territory. Travelers had already begun to tell unpleasant tales of Liberia. Burton of Arabiah Nights fame naturally scorned it. His young acquaintance, Winwood Resade, who died at 34, gave a more cheerful account of the matter. Others wrote on one side or the other, but thirty years ago there was in Europe and America a pessimistic feeling about Liberia. As evidence that the attempt of the blacks at self-government was a failure the ill condition of Liberian finances was adduced. Her paper currency was in a pitiful condition, and European traders regularly insisted after-they had taken it at a discount upon paying it for customs duties of its face value. Europeans had obligingly lent Liberia a few hundred thousand dollars at the pleasant rate of 7 percent, and Liberia neglected to pay interest until the debt was "readjusted," as Virginians used to say, and the rate of interest cut in two. At last accounts arrears of interest had again piled up even at the reduced rate and to the foreign debt must be added a domestic debt of about $135,000 and a floating debt of $200,000, so that in all the republic's obligations are about $800,000. Perhaps this does not seem a great debt for a country of 2,000,000 inhabitants and 43,000 square miles, but it is enough to weigh in the scale along with other things and the present internal dissensions against the right of Liberia to live as an independent state. The truth is that all but about 40,000 of the inhabitants dwelling in and are savages utterly unable to develop the natural riches of the country and unwilling that Liberia's civilized remnant should develop them. As to the civilized remnant, it consists of 12,000 persons of Afro-American origin, and say 30,000 Christianized natives of indigenous origin. Confessedly thus far the Afro-Americans have not been able to cope with the problem of their savage brethren plus that of the eager colonizing European and occasional domestic political quarrels. Liberia's army of 700 organized militia, with one brigadier-general at $45 a month and "found," and eight or ten colonels at $38 a month and "found," cannot explore that wild hinterland or police the frontier. France or England could do in two or three years what Liberia has not done in fifty, and hence the threat to Liberian autonomy. All things considered, however, Liberia has not been a failure from the point of view of civilization. The colonists and their descendants have not reverted to savagery and dark superstition. As a matter of fact they are fairly educated, with 100 government public schools, a government college and many other schools, elementary and higher, maintained by several church organizations. They have far outdone Haytii and Santo Domingo, and under worse difficulties. A sympathetic English writer who has lived much in Africa says that Liberian towns are as well built as those of most European colonies in West Africa. He finds the Liberians rather painfully religious, strict Sabbatarians, New England Puritans of the eleighteenth century in their general belief and practice, slicklers for the proprieties of European costume and prudishly modest in outward manners. He says that the well placed always go to church and make calls in high hats and frock coats and that despite a normal temperature 75 to 105 degrees in the shade. Liberia has some well educated men and has produced a few scholars, one of them a man who had mastered Latin, Greek, Arabic and several European languages. The towns are shabby, but they are not barbaric. The people as a whole are polite and kind to the last degree. They tend to abuse alcohol, and this friendly criticism finds their most trying characteristic a slavish imitation of Anglo-Saxon ideals, and especially American ideals. They are given to flamboyant oratory, and they love politics, though public disorder is not frequent. Meanwhile the salaries of officials of all ranks are ridiculously small, so that the temptation to petulation in office is constant, though there are and always have been public men of the highest probity. The president receives $3500 a year in salary and perquisites and lives in what looks like an old Maryland plattation house of modest size. Nobody else has more than a third as much pay. Perhaps there is an indication of Liberia's secret in the pathetic paragraph from a recent message of the president which says: "The president of the republic has for many years been deprived of his right, of veto so far as concerns the budget, as it is made the last bill and is generally presented on the last day just at the last hour or even a little after the legislature has adjourned sine die. I hope this course will be abandoned. It is contrary to the Constitution."—Boston Transcript. Among the Masons Our lodges and members of the jurisdiction are much concerned about the recent enactment of the law relative to the secret societies of the state. We have received several letters from brethren relative to the same. Our brethren are advised to continue their meetings, collect their dues and forward all reports as herefore. As Masons we are taught to be law-abiding, and it is the intention of the grand officers to obey every enacted law. The recent law is said not to affect the Masons. How far this goes we are not now able to say, but assure each, member that in due time they will be advised. Our brethren must not become discouraged, but stand more solidly together and labor for the organization that we have jointly helped to build up so strongly. In the meantime let every brother be careful of his every word and action. Calm in speech and respectful in bearing will win much for our cause. The judges concerned will soon receive from the Relief Association notice of delinquency of members to this department. Last week the Grand Chapter Order Eastern Star met in Quitman. There was a large gathering of delegates from many parts of the state. The meeting was a very successful one. Harmony was the keynote, and the ladies attended to their business in a manner that would do credit to many male organizations. The reports were all commendable, especially those of the grand officers. The Grand Chapter is in a healthy condition, and much good is being done for the betterment of the Rite, Hundreds of dollars have been raised and expended for sick and death benefits, and a neat sum was raised for the support of the orphan home in Americus. The next session will be held in Americus. $^{0}$ Following are the officers for the year: Mrs. M. L. Ayers, Grand Secretary. Mrs. Nellie Hardy, Grand Treasurer. Mr. S. S. Mincey, R. G. A. P. Rev. A.

For some years a very quiet, and yet, a very distinctive and forceful work in the educational field has been developing in the St. Francis de Sales Institute for Colored Girls, Rock Castle, Va. The school was erected in 1899 by Mother Katherine Drexel, and placed under the personal supervision of her own sisterhood, the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. No effort was spared to make the building and equipment as nearly perfect as possible, and the writery who has visited many of the colored and white educational institutions of the southland, can state without hesitation or flattery, that he found it equalled by very few and surpassed by none. Traveling on the Cincinnati and Ohio railroad west from Richmond, following the graceful curves and windings of the historic James for forty miles, one sees on an eminence, about a quarter of a mile south of the river, a large brick building with granite trimmings, the modified type of Elizabethan architecture. The main building looks down upon the James, while the two annex wings face Deep Creek on one side and Lick Creek on the other. The situation is ideal for carnest study. Beautiful nature is pre-eminent, while distractions and noises of a busy city are remote. It may be of interest to know that the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, under whose direction the school is mainttained, were instituted some twenty years ago, for the education and advancement of the colored and Indian races. These earnest, self-sacrificing women make a specialty of their work and are always seeking to have the best and to give the best to the two races to whom they exclusively devote themselves. The Sisters believe that faith in God, and a reverence and love for His teaching should form the basic element of all training; that religion and science should go hand in hand; that the one should always uphold and strengthen the other. While St. Francis de Sales is conducted by a sisterhood of the Catholic Church, a cordial welcome is extended to all colored people, regardless of creed, to send their daughters to enjoy the privileges held out by this institute, and no attempt is made to force the faith upon, nor interfere with, the religious convictions of the students. It is the aim of the sisters to educate their pupils physically, mentally and morally, to form them into truly noble, whole-souled women, and thus make of each individual a potent factor in the bettering of the whole race. A golden era of opportunity is dawning for the colored people of the south in this select school, which offers unrivalled facilities, which the better class will not be slow to recognize and appreciate in their endeavors to procure the highest advantages of culture and education for their daughters. The purpose of the school is found in its broad, well-rounded curriculum. It has been shown that a large amount of manual work may be carried on without, in the least, jeopardizing the results in the fundamental and academic branches. The school is unique in this, that there is no primary department. Pupils must come prepared to enter the sixth grade; that is, must have successfully passed fifth grade examinations. There are two courses in the literary department—an intermediate course and academic course. Each course covers a period of four years. The intermediate completes the full grammar course and gives to the pupils a thorough education in all the essential branches of everyday life. For pupils, who wish to fit themselves as teachers, or take up more advanced studies, the academic course is admirably adapted, comprising a fine course in English literature, the sciences, botany, physics, chemistry, higher mathematics, Latin, elements of pedagogy and psychology. A thorough course is given in domestic art, beginning with a preparatory class in dressmaking, finishing same by cutting, drafting according to a standard chart, designing and modeling costumes. In older to acquire a certificate in either intermediate or academic departments, it is essential that the students take this one year's course in domestic art, as the school feels a woman's education is not complete without this necessary and most desirable accomplishment. Lessons in fine needlework, lacemaking, drawn work, art embroidery form one of the most attractive features of the school. The gold medal for the best display of needlework was awarded the school by the Jamestown exposition. Lessons in fine art and needlework are elective. Domestic science is another special feature, and includes a graded course in general cooking, followed by a course in invalid cookery and a wattress course. A course of lectures and demonstrations in home nursing is also given in connection with the domestic science course. Music, both vocal and instrumental, is given considerable attention. A visit to Rock Castle would be well worth while, if any of our readers are in the neighborhood of Richmond. Visitors to the school are usually charmed by the kindness and courtesy of the sisters, and the beauty of the building and its environments. The chapel, with its beautiful altars of Sienna marble trimmed with Mexican onyx, its fine statues, and, most of all, the holy calm and peace which pervade it bringing a sense of quiet, help and strength from an Unseen Power, proves irresistibly attractive to all. hTe classrooms, music rooms, library, cook school, dress making department, dormitories and infirmaries have their own distinctive features of interest, while the dining room and kitchen are a chief center of interest at given times each day. Notwithstanding the unrivalled facilities which St. Francis de Sales offers to ambitious and earnest students its charges are merely normal—being five dollars monthly for board and ten or fifteen yearly for incidental expenses—tution in all departments being furnished gratis. In the absence of a personal visit, we would recommend our readers applying to St. Francis de Sales Institute, Rock Castle, Va., for this year's prospectus, which is admirably gotten up, and in which more ample and detailed information will be found. Macon, Ga., August 14, 1909. Resolution of the Nocrology of Sister Lula Walker of Central City Chapter, No. 46, Order Eastern Star: Whereas, In the wisdom of Almighty God Sister Lula Walker has been called from the scene of this life to a higher one, we, the members of Central City Chapter No. 46, Order Eistern Star, feel that justice to the memory of the departed and deep regard for the living, render an expression of our love and appreciation both timely and fitting.
