The Savannah Tribune. NORTH POLE IS REACHED Dr. Fred Cook, of Brooklyn, Reaches Goal Long Sought By Explorers of the Frozen North-Stars and Stripes Are Planted on Top of the World. VOL. XXIV. DR. COOK AT POLE ON APRIL 21, 1903. Brussels, Belgium.—The observatory here received the following telegram, dated Lerwick, Shetland Islands. "Reached north pole April 21, 1908. Discovered land far north. Return to Copenhagen by steam-er Hans Egde. FREDERICK COOK." The American officials at the observatory state the dispatch is surely authentic, and that the north pole has been reached for the first time by an American. Paris, France.—The Paris edition of The New York Herald publishes a signed statement from Dr. Frederick A. Cook, which is dated "Hans Egde, Lerwick," on his experiences in the arctic regions. "After a prolonged fight with famine and frost," says Dr. Cook, "we have at last succeeded in reaching the north pole. A new highway, with an interesting strip or animated nature has been explored, and big game haunts located, which will dengue sportsmen and extend the Eskimo horizon." "Land has been digcovered on which rest the earth's northernmost rocks. A triangle of 30,000 square miles has been cut out of the terrestrial unknown. "The expedition was the outcome of a summer cruise in the arctic seas on the schooner Bradley, which arrived at the limits of navigation in Smith sound late in August, 1907. Here conditions were found to launch a venture to the pole. "J. R. Bradley liberally supplied from his vessel suitable provisions for local use. My own equipment for emergencies served well for every purpose in arctic travel." "The campaign opened with a few scouting parties being sent over the American shores to explore the way and seek the game haunts. Their mission was only partly successful because of the storm. "At sunrise of 1908 (February 19) the math expedition embarked on its voyage to the pole. It consisted of eleven men and 103 dogs, drawing eleven heavily laden sledges. The expedition left the Greenland shore and pushed westward over the troubled ice of Smith Sound. "We forced through Nansen Sound to Lands End. In this march we secured 101 musk oxen, seven bears and 235 hares. "We pushed out into the Polar sea from the southern point of Herbert Island on March 18." Six Eskimos returned from here. With four men and forty-six dogs moving supplies for 80 days, the crossing of the Circun-polar pack was begun. Three days later the other Eskimos, forming the last supporting party, returned, and the trials had now been reduced by the survival of the fittest. The two best men and 26 dogs were picked for the final effort. "There before us, in an unknown line of 460 miles, lay our goal. The first days provided long marches, and we made encouraging progress. A big lead, which separated the land from the ice of the central pack, was crossed with little delay. The low temperature was persistent and the winds made life a torture. But cooped up in our snow houses, eating dried beef tallow and drinking hot tea, there were some animal comforts occasionally to be gained. "For several days after the sight of known land was lost, the overcastsky prevented an accurate determination of our positions. On March 30th the horizon was partly cleared, and new land was discovered. Our observations gave our position as latitude 84.47, longitude 86.36. There was urgent need of rapid advances. Our main mission did not permit a detour for the purpose of exploring the coast. Here were seen the last signs of solid earth; beyond there was nothing stable to be seen. "We advanced steadily over the monotony of moving sea ice and now we found ourselves beyond the range of all life—neither footprints of bears nor the blow holes of seals were detected. Even the microscopic creatures of the deep were no longer under us. "The maddening influence of the shifting desert of frost became almost unendurable in the daily routine. The surface of the pack offered less and less trouble, and the weather improved, but there still remained the life- ORDERLESS DRINKS DISCOVERED. New Drunk Sprung on Police by the Nashville, Tenn., Topers. Nashville, Tenn.-Since the first of July the police have been brought face- to face with "odorless drunk." Men are carried into the station, house every day drunk with something that leaves no odor on the breath. They do not seem to be drunk on either whisky or beer, or at least, if they are, the odor of neither can be detected on their breath. When the men themselves are questioned as to what they have been drinking, they all say "beerette," but beerette is not considered an infolc cantr. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 4. 1909. sapping wind, which drove despair to its lowest recess. "The extreme cold compelled physical action. Thus day after day our weary legs spread over big distances. Incidenta and positions were recorded, but adventure was promptly forgotten in the next day's efforts. "The night of April 7 was made notable by the swinging of the sun at midnight over the northern ice. Sunburns and frost-bites were not recorded on the same day, but the double day's glitter infused quite an incentive into one's life of shivers. "Our observation on April 6 placed the camp in latitude 86.36, longitude 94.2. In spite of what seemed long marches, we advanced but little over a hundred miles. Much of our work was lost in circulous twists, around troublesome pressure lines and high irregular fields. A very old ice drift, too, was driving eastward with sufficient force to give some anxiety. "Although still equal to about fifty miles daily, the extended marches and the* long hours for travelling with which fortune favored us earlier were no longer possible. We were now about 200 miles from the pole, and sledge loads were reduced. "One dog after another went into the stomachs of the hungry survivors until the teams were considerably diminished in number, but there seemed to remain a sufficient balance for man and brute to push along into the heart of the mystery to which we had set out to reach. "On April 21 we had reached 89 degrees 59 minutes 46 seconds. The pole was in sight. We covered the remaining fourteen seconds and made a few observations. I told Etukshol and Ahwheel, the accompanying Eskimos, that we had reached the "Great Nall." Everywhere we turned was south. With a single step we could pass from one side of the earth to the other; from midday to midnight. "At last the flag floated to the breeze at the Pole. It was April 21, 1908. The temperature was minus 38 centigrade, barometer 29.38, latitude 90; as for longitude it was nothing, as it was but a word. - "Although crazy with joy our spirits began to undergo a feeling of weariness. Next day, after taking all our observations, a sentiment of intense solitude penetrated us while we looked at the horizon. Was it possible that in a region, without a touch of earth, had aroused the ambition of so many men for so many centuries? There was no ground, only an immensity of dazzling white snow, no living being, no point to break the frightful monotony. "On April 22 we started on our return." New York City.—"Successful, well, Address Copenhagen. FRED." Address Copenhagen. FREED. Full of meaning, if 'successful' be interpreted to indicate that he has reached the North Pole, the foregoing cable message was received in York from Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the new explorer, whom the latest cable devices credit with having accomplished what no man has ever done. The message was sent, not to any scientific society, nor to any of his associates interested in his expedition from a scientific viewpoint, but to his wife, who has been counting the days and the hours and praying for his safety since his departure from this city on July 4, 1907. Cohenhagen, Denmark. A brief message received here that Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the American explorer, reached the North Pole in his expedition, which has just ended, is given ful credence here, although details are lacking of the interpolidash The message was recited at the colonial office here via Lerwick, Shetland Islands, announcing that Dr. Cook had reached the pole April 21, 1908. This dispatch was sent by a Greenland official on board the Danish government steamer Hans Egode, which passed Lerwick at noon en route for Denmark, and read as follows: "We have on board the American traveler, Dr. Cook, who reached the N-th Pole April 21, 1908. Dr. Cook arrived at Upernavik in May of 1908. The Eskimos of Cape York confirm Dr. Cook's story of his journey." Beverly, Mass.—The announcement that Dr. Cook had reached the North Pole was conveyed to President Taff, "Who discovered it?" asked the president, immediately interested. The meager details at hand were read to him. "That is very, very interesting and highly important, if true," said the president, "I shall await the details with great interest." Seven Children Perish In Flames. New York City.-Seven little children, inmates of St. Malachy's Home for Children at Rockaway Park, L. I., were suffocated in a fire which destroyed a portion of the home. This was discovered by firemen digging in the ruins of the burned building. New York City Directory Issued. New York City.—All records are broken by the New York city directory for 1909, which has just appeared, with the names and addresses of 575 persons in Manhattan and the largest indicating a population in these two boroughs of nearly three millions. In the 1,819 pages, there are 3,520 Smiths and 1,100 Joneses. BOLD TRAIN ROBBERY Lone Bandit Makes Daring Hold Up of Train in Pennsylvania. TAKES PENNIES; LEAVES GOLD Robber Carried Away Great Loads of New Lincoln Pennies, Thinking They Were Gold Coins. Lewiston, Pa.—One of the most audacious and startling hold-ups of a railroad train in the cast for years, occurred on the eastern slope of the Allegheny mountains, when a lone highwayman stopped a Pennsylvania Railroad express train with a dynamite cartridge, and, at the point of a revolver, compelled the crew to carry thousands of dollars in, coin and bullion from an express car to a spot in the wilderness. When the conductor of the train attempted to intertie with the robber's plans, he was shot in the hand, and the bold bandit succeeded in making good his escape. In the darkness, however, he mistook a bag containing ten thousand new Lincoln pennies for gold coin, and staggered away with it, leaving the real gold bullion to be recovered by the railroaders. When the news of the robbery reached the railroad and express company officials they were deeply concerned at its boldness, and immediately ordered every available detective from the east and west to the scene in an effort to capture the robber. Bloodhound were also put on his track, but no trace of the man has been found. The looted train was made up of an engine, three express cars and two sleeping coaches, filled with passengers. It was running through Lewlaton narrows, a wild and lonely mountain gorge, through which flows the Juanta river, when suddenly a dynamite cap was exploded, and the engine driver brought the car to a standstill. When he looked out to see what the trouble was, he was confronted by a masked figure, holding a revolver in either hand. "Are there any mall cars on this train?" demanded the highwayman. "No," was the reply of the startled engineer. The engine crew was then forced at the point of the gun to accompany the robber to the first express car, where the messenger was looking out to discover the cause of the sudden stopping of the train. A revolver was pointed at the messenger's head and threatening to blow up the car with dynamite, the robber forced the messengers of the two express cars and engine crews to carry all the gold and bullion stacked in the first car to the side of the track. Conductor Pfefferberger of Harrisburg, Pa. who came up while this woman was being accomplished, was ordered back by the Sindft, who emptied one of his revolvers at him, one of the shots penetrating his hand and the others grazing his body. Despite the appearance of three passengers, who had been awakened by the shooting, the robber calmly ordered the crew back on the train, and compelled them to steam away, leaving the bullion beside the track. It was discovered later by a posse sent on a special train. When the train was leaving, he called out: "Goodbye and good luck; I hope to see you again." No clew to the rover's identity has yet been discovered. He is described as being about 5 feet 8 inches in height, and was dressed in dark clothing, and wore a slouch hat, pulled well down over his eyes. He had a slight foreign accent. Agent Hamaker of Lewiston sent a safe to the scene of the robbery to receive six bags of pennies, on which the seals had not been broken, but which had been cut - open with a sharp knife to ascertain the contents, and abandoned by the robber in disgust. St. Louis, Mo.—The robber who looted the express car of the Pennsylvania train at Lewiston Narrows, Pa., missed a chance to acquire a half-million dollars or more in government funds. Oscar L. Whitelaw, sub-treasurer of the United States at St. Louis, said that the five iron safes in the car were filed with currency to that amount. Mineola, Iowa.—Two masked men held up the cashier of the Mills County German Bank here, and escaped with $1,500 in cash. The cashier and two customers were kept in the back room of the bank by order of the robbers, while the second man took the money from the safe and counter. The bandits fled afoot, and went east along the Wabash Railroad' forward Silver City, near which place they disappeared into a corn field. MEN'S RIGHTS UPHELD. Wife Should Be Able to Prepare Husband's Favorite Vland. Chicago, Ill.—Mrs. Frances Kubyack has thirty days in which she must learn how to prepare a savory pickle sandwich, the favorite midnight luncheon of her husband, John Kubyack, and thus restore the domestic equilibrium of their home. Municipal Judge Watkins, before whom Kubyack was arraigned on the charge of refusing to support his wife, listened to the husband's story, and, when he learned that Mrs. Kubyack could not furnish her husband's favorite sandwich, continued the case thirty days and told her 10 learn the secret of making this sandwich. PREDICTS PESTILENCE War, Famine and Earthquake Coming Says "Holy Ghost." Chief. Says Holy Ghost Chief. Rockland, Me. — Denying having made any prophecy about the world coming to an end and announcing his purpose to establish a chain of missions from Panama to the Arctic for the evangelization of the American continent, Rev. Frank W. Sanford, leader of the famous sect known as the Holy Ghost and Us, granted his first extended interview since departing on his world cruise of 30,000 miles three years ago. He said, in part: "I have already learned that three more ships will be added to our fleet, which now consists of the yacht Coronet, the barkentine Kingdom and two small craft, the Ripple and Overcomer. "Earthquakes will be sent by the Lord to bring men to their senses; tidal waves with fearful violence will sweep along the coasts of the earth till men in their fright will die of heart failure; stars will fall from heaven like falling figs in a tempest, war and pestilence and an army will plunder the monasteries will be brought by the Commander-in-Chief of heaven and earth." HARRIMAN ALL RIGHT. Magnate Breaks Long Silence in Re- ward to Physical Condition. gard to Physical Condition. Arden, N. Y.—Edward H. Harriman, urged by weary representatives of the press who have been camping about his mountain home for a week, came out with a statement that he was all right. Though brief, the statement is straightfordward and explicit, with perhaps a touch of patient resentment at the surveillance to which he has been subjected and a request that reporters withdraw, not so much for his sake, but for his friends, who have been intercepted daily coming to and from his residence by zealous inter- viewers eager for the latest bit of information. It concludes thus frankly: "If there should be anything serious, I will let the press know, and, as I have never deceived them, I ask that the press now withdraw its representatives and rely on me." The letter was so characteristic of Mr. Harriman's affable attitude toward newspaper representatives, an attitude which was marked when he underfent the strain of a lengthy interview on the day of his return, that most of the men who have been here during the scare over his illness, returned to New York, relying on his word. CURE:FOR DECKLESS CHAUFFEURS. Felix Droit Prohibited From Driving Automobile In New York State. New York City.—One of the severest decrees ever pronounced by a court, in an effort to discourage automobile scorching, prohibits Felix L. Droft, a professional chauffeur and participant in the Vanderbilt cup race, from ever driving a car in New York state. Justice Zeller, in the special sessions suspended sentence in Droft's case, when he promised to regard those directions. Droft had been arrested several times for speeding, and has spent some time in jail and paid a number of heavy fines. Newsv Paragraphs. Mrs. Alice Webb Duke, divorced wife of Brodie L. Duke, was arrested in Chicago and spent a night in a cell at the Harrison street station. Mrs. Duke was arrested upon the complaint of an automobile company because of her inability to pay $40 rent for a machine during the day. Frank Williams and Florence L. Wood, of Brooklyn, N. Y., were married in a Brooklyn hospital, where they are recovering from bullet wounds inflicted in a suicide pact. Their nearly successful attempt at death brought the young couple to their senses and at the same time won the consent of the girl's parents to their marriage. Both Mr. and Mrs. Williamson are blind in one eye as a result of the shooting. Wilbur Glenn Vollva, the spiritual successor of John Alexander Dowle, and the deposed temporal potentate of Zion City, went to the county jail of McHenry county, at Woodstock, Ill., in default of the payment of a $10,000 judgment rendered against him. He declared he gave up his liberty to "ustain an eternal principle." The trouble is the result of a suit brought by Philip Mothersil, of the now triumphant faction in Zion City, who charged the deposed leader with libelling him in his papers. The Canadian government has followed ex-Persident Roosevelt's suggestion by appointing a commission for the conservation of natural reserves. It is made up of representatives of the federal and provincial governments, the universities and men particularly skilled in "minarals, timber and other natural resources. Through the state department at Washington, Acting Secretary of the Navy Winthrop has received $14,000 from the Panama-government, paid by it as money reparation in the case involving the mistreatment of American naval officers and seamen at the hands of the police of that republic. Of this amount $5,000 is indemnity in what is known as the cruiser Columbia. Incident, when several officials in uniform were arrested, locked up and roughly handled in Colon on June 1, 1906. Indemnity of $8,000 will be paid to the relatives of Charles Rand, a boatswain's mate on the cruiser Buffalo, who was killed in Panama in September, 1908, and $1,000 will be given to Joseph Cieslik, a sailor of the same vessel, who was stabbed at the time Rand was killed. GOMPERS - DENOUNCED Head of American Federation of Labor Severely Criticised. WORLD LABOR LEADERS MEET Samuel Gompers Told That His Advice Was Not Wanted and That American Policies Didn't Suit Europe. Paris, France. — Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, was the dramatic center of the session of the sixth International Trade Union Congress, when several European delegates bitterly denounced what they claimed to be the equivocal attitude of the American Federation with reference to joining the international movement. Mr. Gompers needed all his old-time energy to repel the attack. He insisted that the problems and policies of American trade-unionism were so intermingled with American traditions and ideas that Americans could ill-spare the time to encounter the influence of European leaders where the trade-unionism tendencies were temperamentally different. Nevertheless, as an evidence that the United States was anxious for international co-operation, Mr. Gompers introduced a proposal favoring worldwide organization, which would "defend the rights and interests of all and create international fraternity and solidarity." The clash came over the question of the exact status of Mr. Gombers' and the American Federation of Labor in the conference. "Personally," he continued, "I have no authority to pledge the affiliation of the American Federation of Labor, but I believe it will come in time." Mr. Gompers' statement was received coldly. Several delegates jumped to their feet to protest. Hueber, an Austrian delegate, vehemently characterized Mr. Gompers' explanation as mockery. He, like the others, had been under the impression that the American meant business in that Mr. Gompers was the official delegate from that country. Otherwise he could not understand how the American resolutions happened to be printed in the official program. Otherwise, and said that it was now seven years since the Americans began talking about joining the international confederation and it was about time a decision was reached. "It now appears," he concluded, "that Mr. Gompers is merely a voyage of discovery." Paris, France.—The newspapers devote much space to the international congress and the significance of the presence of Mr. Gompers. The Journal Des Debates points out that the American Federation of Labor and the French General Federation of Labor, which did not join in the last two conferences, represent opposing conceptions of trade-unionism. Mr. Gompers, representing the American sentiment, is utterly opposed to the building up of unionism on a foundation of socialism, politics or open revolution; instead, his work lies in the direction of developing the real interests of the workmen and solving the problems of labor and capital. TO MUZZLE ROOSTERS. Noiseless Chanticleer is Advocated by Washington Man. Washington, D. C.—The recent municipal edict, which may spell the banishment of the insomnia-producing rooster within Washington's city limits, has aroused the inventive genius of a man who has devised a rooster muzzle. His idea is to kill the crow, but save the rooster. This advocate of a noiseless chanticleer believes that if the authorities will sanction the use of the device, which consists of a simple collar of leather, with a small cotton pad, fastened around the rooster's neck, sufficiently tight to throttle the vocal organ, both the community and the rooster can live in peace and quiet. The corporation counsel has been asked to determine the unique point whether to muzzle roosters is legal. WORLD TO BE A PARADISE. Religious Society Believe That in 1914 Change Will Come. Saratoga, N. Y.-Belleyers in the early dawn of the millennium, members of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, gathered here from several states for their annual conference. The followers of the sect believe that in 1914, "after times of great trouble," the world is to be transformed into a paradise. They profess to find their foundation for this belief in the study of Scripture prophets, which form the principal theme of study at the meetings here. TAYLOR IN KENTUCKY. Exiled Governor Stopped in State Long Enough to Change Trains. Indianapolis, Ind.—William S. Taylor, former governor of Kentucky, returned to this state. He had made two trips through Kentucky, he said, but on neither of them had he stopped in the state longer than necessary to change trains. Mr. Taylor may go to Kentucky in October. That will be his first real visit to his old home since he left the state on being charged with complicity in the murder of William Goebel, nine years ago. He had no intention of changing his residence from Indianapolis to Kentucky, Mr. Taylor said. LATE NEWS NOTES. General. Elephantastias was a contributory cause of the death of Mrs. Theresa Habetes, wife of a restaurant keeper, who died in New York city in a hospital. She weighed five hundred pounds, and it was necessary to construct a special casket for her body. Until three years ago, the woman was of ordinary size. She was thirty-eight years old. According to a letter received in Columbia, S. C., from the canal zone, South Carolina relatives and friends there of Editor William N. Chandler, who was clubbed to death by General Jeffries, will ask the state department to insist on Jeffries' trial for murder. Belden Woodrig, the New York steeplejack who had spent most of his life working at dizzy heights, fractured his skull when he fell two feet from a chair to the floor and died soon afterwards. Woodrig was leaning back in the chair when it toppled over with him. Mrs. Betty Hill, the English woman, who was sent to Ellis island on the suspicion that she was insane because she smoked a cigarette while a customa officer inspected her baggage when the steamship Philadelphia arrived in New York city, has been released with a certificate that she is not only sane, but is a remarkably brilliant woman. Mrs. Hill, who is about sixty years old, is one of the best-known European authorities on antiques. Harry Thaw, the stayer of Stanford White, has been appointed librarian of the Matteawan asylum for the insane. Thaw, on account of his knowledge of literature and his liking for books, was glad to take up the duties. "The work will be very congenial," said he after being appointed. The liner Lucanla, which was recently burned at the White Star docks in Liverpool, England; will cost $600,000 to rebuild. The underwriters offered the Cunard company $400,000 for the ship as a total loss. The offer was accepted and the liner never rebuilt. Two portraits of Governor B. B. Comer that adorned the east and north entrances to the county court yard at Huntsville, Ala., were badly mutilated by unknown parties. Each of the portraits were cut across the throat. Two large placards advertising the prohibition rally, posted over the other entrances to the lawn, were burned. Governor Hay of Washington has issued a formal statement, justifying his open violation of the anti-tipping law recently passed and signed by himself. He said he had done so believing it to be unconstitutional. Officials are generally disregarding the anti-cigarette law as well, and none but traveling men have tried to enforce the nine-foot sheet law. Washington. The total amount of business handled by the dead letter division of the postoffice department for the last fiscal year was $29,324.29. Of this $10-044.01 was received from the annual dead letter sale. Only about 68 percent of money received by the dead letter office was restored to its owners, the balance being deposited in the United States treasury. Open-air schools for the accommodation of tubercular pupils have received the approval of commissioners of the District of Columbia, and the board of education is now perfecting arrangements for the opening of two such buildings, one for white and the other for colored pupils. Moles and rats are the most important trophies of the many samples contained in one big packing case and five small ones just received by the Smithsonian institution from former President Roosevelt. The scientists of the institution display comparatively little interest in the skulls of the big animals, proofs of ex-President Roosevelt's heroism and markmanship, but moles and rats, of the sort contained in the last shipment, seem to be right popular with the scientists. If sugar is added to the juice of the grape after the fermentation process is passed then it will hereafter cease to be real or straight wine in the eye of the law. Sc has the department of agriculture ruled on a protest made against the sugared wines from the Ohio and Missouri grapes. Hereafter such goods must be labeled "sugar wine" or "imitation." The contract for supplying 3,457,000,000 postal cards to the postoffice department during the four years beginning January 1, 1910, was awarded by Postmaster General Hitchcock to the government printing office, which submitted the lowest bid, $824,717.95. By selecting a stock of lighter, but finer, quality, the postoffice department expects to provide for the public a better card at less expense to the government. That there does not exist the "almostest friction between this country and Cuba," which the public has been made to believe by the alarming reports frequently published by certain Havana papers, is the substance of a statement issued by the Cuban foreign office, received at the state department from the American charge d'affaires, Fred M. Dearing, at Havana. Two hundred and seventy pounds or "bust!" That is the aim of Prefident Taft before he leaves Boverly, Mass. The-president tipped the scales at more than three hundred when he arrived there and by vigorous treatment has lowered this figure, but he is still carrying more flesh than he cares to tote over his trans-continental trip. tavoreriw a « 3 he 1 we wd A gh nl "oan 4 . 4 wl | ae “2 ye flees I va . he - Bonen 2aQiee, PEST re i aei3 Ss 3 _00goee: SYACKSON'S RACE FOR THE YELLOWSTONE, Hee ee eee eee eee ee eee eee CESS EO ._ -In.those days—it was In the year 1840-—whisky was the great factor {sh the Indian trade,’ in spite cf the ‘act Spasseds by Congress making its -usé, “or éven its Importation into the ‘Andian country, Wesel.

Silas Jackson was a fur-trapper of the better sort. He néver touched liquor or spent his earnings in any of-the many ways which kept his as- soclates penniless, if not In debt. He ‘was ambitious and frugal, and he carried’ in his mind a picture of a “plue-grass"” farm in a certain Ken- stucky county, where some day he imeant to raise blooded horses and go to church on a Sunday in blue broad- cloth with silver buttons. SInce he lived straight, he was a man of vigor and the swallow-tailed kite was not much keener of sight. ‘The othér trappers called him lucky ‘because he went and came without tosing a pelt or a pack and had never had a brush with the Indians. It was not luck, howover, that served him so well, but sound judgment, clear eyes and an unlmpaired body. Even when the Blackfeet, a hostile enough tribe when they were sup- posed to be at peace with the whites, openly waved the hatchet, Jackson managed to cross their country twice without being seen, On the third time, however, as he was returning trom Fort Union for the spring trap- ping, an incident happened which had an important bearing on the most thrilling adventure of his life. He was in a region thickly studded with buttes, Three or four thin col- ‘uumns of smoke had warned him that there were Blackfeet near, so he trav- eled with the greatest caution. He stepped so nolselessly that he almost ran into a Blackfoot scout, who ‘vas stretched on the ground at the foot of a tall, streaked butte, drinking from a tiny spring-hole. ‘Tho Indian had not heard him.

Somehow he could not bring him- self to slay the scont in cold blood, Well as he knew the Indian would _not have hesitated to shoot him in the back if the chance had offered. But it was necessary to insure his own safety in some way. So, drawing a full breath, he sud- -denly sprang upon the prostrate fig- hike, ‘and seizing the Blackfoot’s right ‘atm, ‘drew it forcibly backward. At the same time he struck him a pow- erful blow in the neck. ‘ ‘The Blackfoot let out a cry that was smothered by the water at his lps. ‘The breath was knocked out of him by the force with which Jack- son's knees landed in the small of his back, and the violent blow on his netk further dazed him.

It is reported that Dr. Frederick A. Cook has reached and planted the flag of the United States at the North Pole. It has been the ambition of hundreds of men to reach this goal, but it was left for this intrepid American to win the honor. THE colored K. of P. while on parade in Kansas City acted like heroes in preventing a riot. They are being commended on all sides for this act. And yet it is this fine body of men, capable of so many excellent deeds, that the white South is attempting to disorganize. Some of the most commodious and well arranged homes of our people can be seen in almost every town in the State. Unlike our city the lots are large and for that reason there is plenty of breathing space. In this city we have a number of well arranged homes. This number should be augmented. A well arranged home speaks volumes for the occupant thereof. "It would help some," says an Alabama contemporary, "if Tillman would cut out the everlasting racial issue." Help whom? Not Tillman. That is one of his most profitable stocks in trade. He is one of those "professional South eerners" who must bowl and rant about the Negro to attract Northern attention and secure Northern and Western chauqua engagement."—Morning News. Not alone that, but certain Southern Democrats use the Negro question to keep them in prominence and elect them to offices. And another thing, if The Morning News and other prominent Southern journals would give less prominence to lynching bees and other cases of lawlessness these things would soon be wiped out. Despite its short coming, we are compelled to commend The News for its prodding of the one eyed sentor. THESE words of admonition for our people in the South from Dr. Booker T. Washington, should be considered and adhered to: "But we must remember that in the South especially, hitterto, we have had a pretty free field, but in the future we must prepare for competition—competition in the field, in the shop, in the store, in the kitchen. And to hold what we have and gain more this competition must be met, not by race prejudice, but by superior usefulness." In our county there is no place in which our old people can be cared for, and no place of upliftment where the unfortunate orphans can be reared except the home for girls conducted very acceptably by the Catholies on East Broad street. This great denomination seeing the need of the poor old unfortunate ones of our race has purchased a number of lots on the west side where will be established a home for these unfortunate ones and a school for the children of that locality. Matters not what may be said of the Catholies they are doing more real good for the upliftment of the unfortunate ones of our race than all of the other denominations combined. THE Niagara Movement held its fifth annual meeting at Sea Isle City, N. J., August 15 to 18. Ten states were represented with fifty delegates and guests. The meetings of the Movement were held in the Metnodist Episcopal Church (white). At the Sunday morning service, (August 15), Dr. W. E. DuBois delivered an address; the object of which was to explain the purposes and aims of the Niagara Movement and to show that the cause of all submerged classes and peoples was practically the same. The annual sermon was preached by Rev. G. R. Waller, of Balto., Md., at the evening service. All who heard it agreed that it was an able exposition of the Christian of human equality and brotherhood. The chief part of the programe of the session was a series of addresses dealing with the "methods of emancipating submerged peoples."

JOHNSON'S Undertaking Establishment The most complete stock of Coffins and Caskets in the South Prompt and Courteous Treatment to all our patrons W. R. Fields & L. M. Pollard, Mgrs. To the Public On account of being unuly criticised by some persons and several institutions on account of a recent bid let by the First Congregational Church, I am compelled to make this statement: As a member of the Board of Trustees, was not present when the bid was placed upon the meeting having been held at a time when I was about to leave the city for a few days. Had I been present my vote and voice would have been in favor of the work being done by a colored man. I condemn in the strongest term the letting of this bid, which as my friends know, is not in keeping with my attitude on questions of this kind. As strongly as Coargressman Edward is in favor of white workingmen, am I in favor of colored workingmen, and will not only say so, but act accordingly. Very respectfully. FARM OF THE TOWN.

Besides these Mrs. Walker has left a mother, three sisters and two brothers and other relatives. The funeral services took place Sunday afternoon from St. Philip Monumental Church, and the pastor. Rev. L. A. Townsley, D. D., paid high tribute to her christian character and life. In this he was joined by Rev. R. H. Singleton, D. D., her former pastor, and Rev. J. A. Lindsay, D. D.

No man can be strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its consequent indigestion, or from some other disease of the stomach and its associated organs, which impairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach is weak or diseased, there is a loss of the putrition contained in food, which is the source of all physical strength. When a man "doesn't feel just right," when he doesn't sleep well, has an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, noryous, irritable and despondent, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength. Such a man should use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, it covers diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It chitches the blood, implorates the liver, strengthens the kidneys, nourishes the nerves, and so GIVES HEALTH AND STRENGTH TO THE WHOLE BODY.

PAINT DURABILITY The first thought in painting should, of course, be durability—and durability means simply pure paint properly applied. Pure paint is pure white lead and linseed oil (with or without tinting material). Some years ago the paint-buyer was likely to get adulterated or counterfeit white lead if he was not familiar with brands. To day he may buy with perfect safety if he only makes sure that the Dutch Box Painter trademark As soon the packages of white lead that he buys. This trademark was adopted by National Lead Company to distinguish the pure white lead made by them from the worthless adulterated and fake goods. It is a guarantee as valuable to the house-owner as the education of a paint expert could be. It is better to have too little confidence in yourself that to have too much in other people.

FOR THE FARMER AND STOCKMAN A remarkable experiment in connection with the shell-forming mechanism of the nematode described in a recent issue of Science. A surgical operation was performed upon a hen by which the feces or excrement were made to pass through the canal where the egg or similarly receives its shell coating. In this instance the fecal matter or manure as soon as it reached the proper place was coated with a shell and then passed from the hen, showing that the shell-making operation is independent of the rest of the egg-producing process.—Farmers' Home Journal. Enclosed you will find two plants, one of some kind of grass that is getting quite plenty; the other is some kind of thistle, that has been on the farm for about three years. In one square of about three rods we have put them down and done everything we can think of to get them deftoyed. Please name them and oblige a farmer and subscriber.—G. W. L. Answer: The thistle is the Canada, a very bad pest. You will have to cultivate the three rods square in potatoes, or something else that will require hoeing, or working with the hand plow. The grass is orchard-grass and you won't have to get rid of it.—Indland Farmer. On a farm often a long gate is necessary, but it is very heavy and hard to open and shut. The sketch which I send is an easy way to overcome the difficulty of handling the heavy gate. Take a piece of 2x4 about three feet long and size one end down until it will enter the hub of an old cultivator wheel. After the wheel is fastened to the end of the 2x4, fasten the latter to the gate, with two or three strong bolts. Place the 2x4 and wheel just high enough, so the gate will clear the ground when swung to one side. When the gate is shut the wheel stands between the end of gate and the post as shown in illustration. A child can open and shut it without difficulty—Mrs. Blanch Cubine, in the Epistomist. Coordination God and Tillard For apple orchards, in particular, some combination of sod and tillage often gives good satisfaction. While the trees are small, some hoed crop may be grown for a number of years, but this should be discontinued when it becomes difficult to properly cultivate the trees, or when the crops occupy the feeding ground of the tree roots. After that, the centre of the space between their rows of trees may be seeded to clover in June, and the stump either side of the trees cultivated for another month, when a cover crop may be sown. The next year the clover crop is turned under early spring and the lard cultivated for two or three weeks, when mamoth clover, may again be sown, in the spades tuffing at right angles to those seeded the previous year and the strips, along the tree rows, may again be cultivated.—Farmers' Home Journal. If the right kind of stalls are provided antique bedding and enough of it is used, the mudders of the cows will be fairly free from objectionable matter, but what little interest may be found on them should be carefully brushed off, before putting the pail in place to maintain it. I will not go into all the details of milking until July 19. I should be done quietly, quietly and gently. It is better that each cow has the same intelligence all the time and, more than all the details from the stabling and hardship of the cows to the drawing, of the milk have been, correctly and carefully attended, to there will be no odor. "So called 'animal odor' the odor of man—nothing more, nothing less. Of it T. H. Hoskins, M. D. wrote many years ago in the Royal New York press as follows: "Ventilate, and your cow studies, keep yourself, and the cows clean, give them good food and water, keep yourself and your surroundings clean while painting the product from the hidden to the outside and you will keep the trouble with the animal odor." Another guide: Heathcote held another article that disappeared."— F. W. Moseley in the Parkers. Honke Journal. THYAOCTKKOCOFTOHHY The thoughtful owner certainly will work with you to keep this fairy herd any way that does not show a reasonably good profit. The man that thinks for just exacting what each cow is doing with the cattle to dispose of, even now that this is now paying for what feed she is consuming, plus the cost of caring for her and a reasonable per cent. of profit on the investment. I must say that it is really astonishing that after this matter has been discussed at, so many different times at different places for about the last quarter of a century; that every investigation that is made by an experiment station in any State shows a great percentage of dairy cows that do not pay any profit. Still it is well known that dairymen do not keep cows for pleasure or health. The fact is they do not take time to plan, or paints to apply good business principles as they should do. The thoughtful cow owner will not be long delayed in discovering his most profitable cows and will only use them in breeding for dairy purposes. The dairy cow that does not yield any profit should be prepared for the beef market and sold at once. She should not be bred and the owner ought not to wait for her to dry up at the end of her lactation, because if she is not giving any profit what is the use of, keeping her any longer than is necessary to get her in shape for the butcher. It is because dalrymen do not actually study out these cow problems that there are in this country to-day as many cows that are unprofitable to the men that own and care for them.—Indiana Farmer. Vetch, Hay as Feed For Cows. Vetch, hay as Feed For Cows. Common vetch is a great nitrogen gatherer and is used as a farm crop in many different ways. In some localities it has proved valuable as a catch crop and also as a cover crop in orchards. In France it has been grown to furnish honey-making material for bees. In the eastern United States the common vetch has not proved to be so valuable as other legumes, but in western Oregon it has become a standard stock feed and is used as hay, silage, pasture and as a soiling crop. It makes a very palatable hay, and dairy cattle prefer vetch silage to that made of red clover. On some farms vetch is replacing clover in the regular rotation. Vetch is, usually sown in the fall with wheat or rye to support the stalks, and is cut for hay when the seed begins to form in the pods. From two to four tons of hay to the acre are yielded while an acre gives from fifteen to thirty bushels of seed. From experiments made at the Oregon station, as reported to the Department of Agriculture, it was found that vetch hay and vetch silage are valuable protein feeds for dairy stock, white steaming vetch silage reduces its digestibility. "Over fifty-six per cent. of the protein in the unsteamed silage is digested," says the report, "while less than fifteen per cent. of that in the steamed silage is utilized by the animals. The average per cent. of dry matter, ash, fiber, and fat digested is from ten to fourteen per cent. lower in the steamed silage. The digestibility of the extract, or carbohydrates, is approximately the same in each." Weekly Witness. Chickens and Garden. Many times we read advising giving the chickens the run of the garden, after plants have made growth, in order to allow the chicks to destroy insects. A few weeks ago I read an article to this effect, saying that if the hens did scratch they would only cultivate the garden. In our garden we are planting fresh seed, or setting young plants, almost each week, until very late, so the plan of giving them the run of the garden wouldn't do here. There might be only good from such a plan, were the garden very large, and, the chicks few, but how about the cabbage, the tomatoes and corn they would bodily eat, saying nothing of the plants they kill, or damage, by scratching? They will eat cabbage from the time one puts out the plants until all the cabbage is gone, if they are given the chance. They will also pick pea pods to pieces, jump and eat roasting ears, and pick each and every tomato as fast as they turn, even if they must jump for the tomatoes. This is the way our chicks will do, and they are well fed with wheat, corn and table scraps, also have a good run on grass. Turn the poultry among the berry blushes as soon as fruit is gathered; they do no damage to speak of and destroy, lots of, insecta; also give them the garden patch in late fall and winter; but through the growing season I greatly prefer. Having the chicks kept strictly out of the garden. Birds will destroy hordes of insects where-they are not scared away by cats, guns, or throwing boys, and are encouraged to build on the premises. The amount of cabbage worms' a pair of wrens—will carry to their young through, the season is almost unbelievable. There is no damage at all from birds hunting and destroying insects in the garden. Get rid of the worthless, surplus cats, and endureage birds to live near you. C. in the Indiana farmer. Don't wait for opportunity to knock. Have the door open. By CHARLES SOMERVILLE. Criminalists speak of the braggarf vanity of the criminal. It is true of erotic offenders, perhaps. But the thief will tell of the number of times he has fooled the police merely by way of self-justification. He admits the premise that he was a fool ever to become a criminal, and he recounts his triumphs only to indicate to you that, at least, he is not an absolute idiot. Also, criminologists point out the childish vanity of the criminal who bedocks his person with jewels when he is prosperous. In this the criminal is no, valuer than his honest brother. But jewels are about the only sort of property that he can safely possess, as was the case with the Jews in the old days when they were the driven race. The criminal may not with any safety become a bank depositor, and he is usually too much of a spendthrift to carry a roll of cash; but he finds that if he is arrested and can show some handsome diamond ornaments and a valuable watch, he will have no difficulty in securing a good lawyer and a bondman, and will have a fighting chance for acquittal at his trial. But always, be it understood, the crook is peering into the windows of the House of Respectability with wistful eyes. Al Adams, with more than a million dollars, earned from his despicable policy gambling, which robbed children of their pennies and caused starvation in tenement homes, found himself an enforced hermit in a crowded city. Even his family did not live with him. In a suite of rooms at the Ansonia, with a Japanese servant who had no personal feeling for him, the man lived alone. He craved human association. Sometimes he got it on false pretenses from chance acquaintances. But he would shortly be identified, and again there was only utter loneliness for him. He shot himself dead—"How Thieves Live," in Everybody's. Reward of Honesty. He was a conscientious office boy and he had always been taught to emulate the great George Washington and never tell a falsehood. "Boss," said he, timidly, as the noon hour approached, "I want to get off this afternoon." "Oh, you do, eh?" said the old broker, peering over his glasses. "Yes, sir, and I haven't any grand-mothers." "Well, you are an exception, indeed." "And I'm not sick." "Extraordinary; very extraordinary." "In fact, sir, I want to get off to go and see the ball game." The old broker's face brightened. "Well, Willie, I must say that, you are the most honest boy I ever met." "Thank you, sir." "Yes, and come to think of it. I want to see that game myself. I was afraid to leave the office at first, but now that I see you are such an honest boy I know my business couldn't be in safer hands. It will take some time for me to get back, so you will stay an hour or so later, Sq long, Willie; there is nothing like being honest. When I come back I'll tell you the score."—Chicago News... Destructive Sand; Dunes. Shifting sand dunes are causing trouble on the borders of Lake Michigan. The dunes are formed by the onshore winds, which sweep the beach sand beyond the reach of the ways. The sand accumulates in low mounds about any obstructions, such as stones or bushes; thus started the dune is sufficient cause for its own growth. The wind keeps piling the sand up from behind, the dune grows, and the sand on its crest is blown over to the leeward side of the mound, so that the dunes gradually march inland. On the east side of Lake Michigan the dry west winds have heaped up numbers of dunes, ranging in height up to 200 feet. In Indiana the dunes have moved inland across a forested area, burying and killing the trees, leaving the dead trunks as skeletons behind them in their march onward. A famous instance of dune migration is that of the Kurlische Nehrung, a long sand-bar off the coast of Germany, where a dune ridge marched over a church, burying it for thirty years, at the end of which time it was gradually uncovered by the progress of the dune.—Philadelphia Ledger. The Sleeping Sickness. Pere Beauchene, the missionary priest, has died at the Pasteur Institute, in Paris, of sleeping sickness, contracted in Africa. Fourteen other patients—missionaries, officials and colonials—are undergoing treatment for the same disease at the Institute. In all twenty-six cases have been under observation there, several of which have terminated fatally. The treatment has been so far, for the most part experimental. Among the remedies tried are atoxyl, a chemical preparation containing arsenide which has afforded marked, but only temporary relief. The immediate effect of atoxyl, pts to kill a large number of the trypanosomes, as the sleeping sickness microbe is called, by a sort of process of selection another species of the germ, which is refractory to the sense, rapidly developed, carrying and the patient.

Why my husband looks like a baboon. The Satire of Holmes. The peculiarities of which Dr. Holmes found most amusing, were those which he himself shared. There is indeed an old prudential maxim, to the effect that people, who live in glass houses should not throw stones. This, in natural saying, takes for granted that we should all enjoy smashing our neighbors' glass if we could insure the safety of our own. Dr. Holmes was of a different disposition. His satire, like his charity, began at home. He was quite proud of the glass house in which he lived, and at the same time, he enjoyed throwing stones. If he broke a window now and then it was a satisfaction to think that it was his own. No one valued more highly the intellectual characteristics of Boston, but he also saw the smashing side of the local virtues. You may have watched the prestidigitate plunge his hand into spirits of ether, and then touching a match to it hold it aloft like a blazing torch. The quick evaporation of the ether formed a film of moisture sufficient to protect the hand from the thin flame. So Dr. Holmes's satire played round the New England Conscience and did not the least hurt to it. S. M. Crothers, in the Atlantic. "Every night at 12 p. m." says a writer, in the Strand Magazine, "I wind up my watch, giving twelve turns. Should I forget to wind, the watch will run down at 6 o'clock the following morning. It occurs to me that I may be overwinding my watch, and I determine to give only ten turns each night, and commencing to do so on a Monday night. Will the watch run down, and if so, when Note; Turns in winding are all of equal value. The following is: the answer generally given, though it is incorrect; As twelve turns carries the watch for twenty-four hours, and till 6 o'clock—that is to say, for thirty hours—ten turns would carry it twenty-five hours, and therefore the watch would never run down. The correct solution is as follows: The watch, of course, always has six hours in hand. The problem starts: "Every night I wind my watch, giving twelve turns." If every night twelve turns are required/ each turn carries two hours, and therefore ten turns, on Monday night carries it for twenty hours, to 8 o'clock Tuesday evening and six hours, in hand—2 o'clock on Wednesday morning. Ten winds on Tuesday night carries to 8 o'clock Wednesday evening and two hours in hand—10 o'clock on Wednesday evening when the watch runs down. Luxurious Bee Hives. A schoolmaster in a small German town, being very fond of bees, resolved to build for them something novel in the way of a home. As bee hives are generally of the same size, color and shape, it is sometimes difficult for a bee to find his own particular home, so this kindhearted schoolmaster decided to give each of his hives some distinguishing mark, so the buildings represent an inn, castle, house, cottage, windmill, etc. There are also a number of animals, including an elephant, carved from wood, closely resembling their living brothers. The owner is naturally very proud of his creation, and is constantly enlarging it.—Strand Magazine. When it's an up-hill fight, a man can only do his level best. IT WORKS The Laborer Eats Food That Would Wreck an Office Man. Men who are actively engaged at hard work can sometimes, sat, food, that would wreck a man who is more closely confined. This is illustrated in the following story: "I was for 12 years' clerk in a side working actively and drank coffee all the time without much trouble until after I entered the telegraph service. "There I got very little exercise and drinking strong coffee, my nerves grew unsteady and my stomach got weak and I was soon, a angry, slick man, I quit meat and tobacco, and infact, stopped eating everything which I thought might affect me except coffee, but still my condition grew worse and I was all but a wreck. "I finally quit coffee and been commanded to use Postumon (few years ago, and I am speaking, the itruth, when I say my condition commanded to improve immediately, and to day-I am well and can eat anything I want without any bad effects, all due to shifting from coffee to Postumon." "I told my wife to day I believed I could digest it brick if I had a kidney of Fortunum to go with it." "We, make it, according to directions, boiling it in 20 minutes, and then good rich, cream, and it is certainly delicious."

A fortnight later Dr Velpeau, while making his rounds in the Hospital de Ja Charite, had his attention attract- ed by a face that seemed familiar to him. In answer to his inquiry it was stated that the patient was a footman of a nobleman in the Fambourg Saint Germain. The surgeon found that bis case resembled in every particular the Somewhat unusual one for which the marquis had consulted him a fort- night previously. He refrained, how- ever, from making any comments. Three weeks after the operation, when the patient was about to be dis- charged Dr. Velpeau called him aside and exclaimed: “Monsieur, I am extremely fiat- tered and- pleased to have been able to cure you. There is, however, a smal! formality with which you will have to comply before I can sign your exeat; that is, you will have to sign a check for 10,000 francs in behalf of the public charity bureau of your metropolitan district.” ~The patient's face became livid. “You can do what you Nke about it,” continued the doctor; “but if you reuse all Paris will know to-morrow that the Marquis de D—— adopted the disguise of a footman in order to secure free treatment at this hospital and to usurp the place which belongs by right to a pauper.” Of course the ‘marquis paid.—Cleveland Leader.

Everyone at once recog- nized that the use of the new fuel would add materially to the advan- tages which the White already pos- sessed over other types of cars. There were some people, however, who were sceptical 4s to whether or not the new fuel could be used with complete success and, therefore, the makers of the White Car, the White Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter- mined to make a public demonstra- tlon of the new fuel in the 1909 Gild- den Tour. From the standpoint of the public, ‘ho test more satisfactory could have been selected. First of all, the dis- tancg- covered on the Glidden Tour, from Detroit to Denver and thence to Kansas City, was 2650 miles. This ‘was certainly more than sufficient to bring out any weaknesses, if such had existed. Still more important was the fact that the car was at all times while on the road under the supervi- sion” of observers, named by those who entered other contesting cars. ‘Therefore, it would have been {mpos- sible for the driver of the White to have even tightened a bolt without the fact being noted and a penalty {n- fliicted.

OF TELEGRAPHY, Newnan, Ga, ‘The complete success of the new fuel while on this 2650-mile public test and the advantages gained through its use were well described in the following dispatch which the correspondent of the. New York -Sun sent to his paper at the conclusion of the tour: “A feature of the tour which wes watched with special Interest was that the White Steamer used kero- sene, or ‘coal ofl,' as fuel instead of gasoline. The new fuel worked splendidly throughout the 2650-mile Journey, and all claims made in its behalf were fully proven. First of all, as regards cheapness, the White driver secured kerosene all along the route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap- er per gatlon than was pald for gaso- lene, Secondly, the new fuel was handled without any precautions, and it was not unusual to see kerosene being poured into the fuel tank while the crew of the car and an Interested crowd stood by with lighted cigars and clgarettes. At the finish of the tour, the White was the only car per- mitted by the authorities to enter Convention Hall, where the technical examination took place, without draining fts fuel tank. Thirdly, the new fuel proved to be absolutely without smoke or smell. Fourthly, kerosene could be purchased at what- ever part of the route was most con- ventent, and not once during the trip through the ten States of the Middle ‘West was there found a grocery store where kerosene was not readily and cheaply obtainable. Finally, the Free lune 1sGften food for thought. rer Ae: \ CREOLE” HAIR RESTORER. ric a wissitiied apis Sts, hse So amount of fuel used ‘on the trip showed that kerosene {s at least fifteen per cent. more efficient, gallon for gallon, than gasoline. The card other respects made a most creditable showing, and there was the usual riv— alry among the observers to be as-. signed to the White so that they could ride with the maximum of com- fort. The only adjustments or re- pairs charged against the car during’ the long trip were tightening a lubri- cator pipe and wiring a damaged mud guard. These penalties were not in- fiicted until more than 2000 miles had been completed with an absolute- ly perfect score.” A particularly interesting feature’ of the new White Steamersis that either kerosene or-gasoline may be used as fuel. The necessary adjust~ ments so that thefuel may be change? from kerosene to gasoline, or vice versa, may be made in a couple of Tainutes; but so completely, successful has kerosene proven to be, that it is not belfeved,that any purchasers wil? care to use gasoline. The White Company report that the demands for their new steam cars —both the $2000-model and the $4000-model—exceed thelr most san- guine expectations. It {s evident that the combination of steam—the pow- er which everyone understands an@ has confidence in—with kerosene— the fuel which everyone has on hand and can handle without any danger —is thoroughly appreciated by up-to-date purchasers of automo- ‘hites. . (At36'09) ALL TAX RETURNS IN GAIN IS OVER $20,000,000 Total Taxable Values in Georgia Reach $725,867,404---Railroads and Corporations Not Included. Atlanta, Ga.—Twenty million two hundred and forty-one thousand nine hundred and seventy-nine dollars is the exact gain upon the county digests in the taxable property of the state as compared with 1908. The last of the digests have been received, and the result was promptly made up by Captain "Tip" Harrison. The last digests received, each of which showed a gain of the amount stated, were the following: Dooley, $70,240; Richmond, $121,553; Bartow, $191,554; Washington, $187,187. Owing to some slight errors in addition a new digest is being made for Butts county, but that will not change the result more than a few dollars either way. The foregoing does not include the gain in railroad and corporation property returned to the comptroller general, which was approximately $243,000. This makes the total taxable values in Georgia for 1909 $725,867,404. ANTI-BLACK ROOT COTTON. State Entomologist Has Produced Variety Which is a Resistant. Henty Which is a Resistant. Atlanta, Ga.,—Prof. A. C. Lewis, Assistant state entomologist of Georgia in charge of cotton culture, has succeeded in raising a resistant variety of cotton which promises to entirely eradicate black root in this state. At the last session of the general assembly of this state, that body appropriated $10,000 with which to carry on the work to fight this dreaded disease, which State Entomologist E. J. Worsham estimates is costing the planters of Georgia $250,000 annually, and through the medium of this resistant variety, which will be disseminated throughout the infected territory, it is believed that the black root disease will be entirely destroyed by the time this appropriation is used up. The resistant variety of cotton is now being grown in Sumter county, and so far has been successful in warding off the ravages of this disease. The planters of Georgia are watching this fight with a great deal of interest, for the black root disease kills the cotton entirely, so that not only the lint, but the seed are lost. STATE RIFLE TEAM RETURNS. Georgia Men Shot at Wrong Target at Camp Perry. Atlanta, Ga.—Somewhat disconsolate over their failure to make a better showing, but determined to "do better next time," the rifle team representing Georgia in the national shooting-match at Camp Perry, Ohio, returned to Atlanta. The team ranked third in Class C, being led by Texas and Alabama. One of the reasons why they failed to make a better showing was that they got tangled up on one occasion with the wrong target and altho they shot it to pieces the score did not count. In spite of the fact that the team did, not make the showing that was thought possible, the men did very fine individual shooting and Major M. E. Laird, who was in charge, feels that the team worked under several unfavorable conditions and he is confident that at the next annual match Georgia will give a good account of herself. R. R. COMMISSION ELECTS OFFICERS. Joseph P. Gray, The New Member, Sworn In. Atlanta, Ga.-H. Warner. Hill was unanimously elected chairman of the Georgia R. R. Commission to succeed S. G. McLendon. It will be remembered that Mr. Hill was chairman of the old board before reorganization under the Candler law. He has been a member of the commission for six years, a longer term of service than any other member of the board. On the nomination of Murphey Candler, Judge George Hillyer was re-elected vice-chairman. Both chairman and vice chairman are elected for a term of two years. It was with "fear and trembling" that he accepted the office, Mr. Hill declared, in a brief speech to the board after his election. It is not known whether he had in mind the fates of two of his predecessors or no* There was a full board present, including Joseph P. Gray, the new Savannah member, who took his seat for the first time. In addition to holding the office of railroad commissioner, Mr. Gray will retain his position as fourth vice president and chairman of the executive committee of the Savannah Chamber of Commerce. The question of whether or not Mr. Gray could serve as commissioner and at the same time act in an official capacity for the Chamber of Commerce aroused considerable speculation. No opinion on this point has been secured from Attorney General Hart because he is out of the city, but at a conference between the governor, Mr. Gray, and J. Randolph Anderson, of Savannah, the conclusion was reached that he could serve in the double capacity with absolute propriety. Object Lesson For Visiting Con- gressmen in San Francisco Bay San Francisco, Cal.—The condition of the merchant marine in the Pacific Ocean was illustrated for the benefit of the Congressional party en route to Hawaii when the twenty-three Representatives made a tour of San Francisco Bay, where scores of idle vessels lay at anchor. California Congressmen and officers of civic organizations impressed upon the visitors the necessity for action if any portion of the trans-Pacific traffic was to be preserved. GEORGIA NEWS IN PARAGRAPHS. Former Chairman S. Guyton McLendon of the railroad commission, through W. D. Thomson of the Atlanta law firm of Candler, Thomson & Hirsch, filed before. Judge Walter G. Charlton in Chatham superior court, a quo warranto suit in which he seeks to establish his title to the office of railroad commissioner and to oust therefrom Joseph F. Gray recently appointed from Savannah by Governor Brown. After reading the petition for leave to file, and the quo warranto suit accompanying it, Judge Charlton signed an older, or rule nisl, directing the defendant, Joseph F. Gray, to show cause before him on October 14 why the petition for leave to file the writ of quo warranto should not be granted. The Americus shops of the Seaboard railway, employing nearly one hundred operatives and laborers, has restored the 9-hour day schedule, working six full days weekly. The restoration of time brings greatest satisfaction to the machinists and employees generally, who previously have been working eight hours and only five days weekly. It is expected the newly established time schedule will continue permanently. Atlanta and incidentally the automobile race course at Hapeville will have the largest flag in the world. Some time ago Pittsburg raised the largest flag on earth. It was 180 feet long and 62 feet wide. This fact was published far and wife, and Mr. Shepard wrote the mayor of Pittsburg and offered to buy the flag. The mayor, through his secretary, replied to Mr. Shepard. He took a pardonable pride in the flag, but said it wasn't for sale, Mr. Shepard accordingly decided to have one made for himself. His flag will be 200 feet long and 68 feet wide, and will be the largest in the world, including Pittsburg's. He will have it made in New York. Pittsburg's refusal to sell her flag will cause her the loss of the distinction of having the largest one. Postmasters of the first, second and third classes in the state of Georgia have been granted leave of absence by the postmaster general for as many days, not exceeding six, as may be necessary to enable them to attend the convention of the National Association of Postmasters to be held at Galnesville, Ga., September 8, 9 and 10, 1908. Reports from Floyd county state that the condition of the cotton crop is off 30 per cent from what it appeared to be ten days ago. The last two weeks have been very warm and dry. Although the cotton has a good stalk, the boll has not developed as had been expected. In addition to the damage by the heat and drought, a fly or bug has made its appearance that has infected the boll, causing it to rot off the stalk. At a meeting of the chamber of commerce of Elberton, it was decided to set Thursday, October 7, "King Cotton Day," in Elberton. A free barbecue will be spread for all who come to Elberton on that day. A brass band will be employed and other amusements obtained. The chamber of commerce subscribed $100 to a fund for the barbecue and amusements and the council and business men have subscriber $400. Other subscriptions will swell the fund to $700. Cotton buyers will be invited from other towns and the day will be "open market day" for the fleecy staple. This is intended to show to prospective cotton sellers and buyers of merchandise what Elberton can do for them. It is expected that fully 1,500 bales of cotton will be sold here on October 7. A jury in the superior court decided that the Rev. J. C. Atkinson of Jonesboro did not call Mrs. Saddle A. Bean a "devil incarnate" or that if he did it was all right. Neither side knows what the jury meant by its verdict in favor of the pastor of Jonesboro Methodist Church in the suit for $20,000 libel brought by Mrs. Bean. It was last September that Rev. Atkinson preached a sermon on those who, sowed dissensions in the church and termed them "devils incarnate." Mrs. Bean, a member of the flock, thought the pastor referred to her and filed the suit. The pastor denied that he meant her particularly, but he frankly averred that he considered her a very disturbing element. J. B. Craft of Gaines district, Elbert county, has a field of eight acres planted in corn which will average 40 bushels to the acra. On many of the stalks are eight well formed ears and one stalk contains fourteen. Mr. Craft believes in and practices the doctrine of the diversification of crops. Atlanta will entertain no less than 100,000 visitors during Automobile Week in Atlanta," stated President Asa G. Candler of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, in discussing the outlook for the coming auto-show, the Georgia good roads contest, New York to Atlanta road contest and automobile races at the Autodrome. "Automobile Week," as it is destined to be known, will be from Saturday, November 6, through Saturday, November 13. Preparations are on foot for the reunion of the Georgia division of Confederate veterans to be held in Athens September 28, 29 and 30. More than a thousand of "the boys who wore the gray" are expected to attend the reunion and the Classic City is going to give them a good time during their stay. The citizens are taking great interest in the approaching reunion and committee have been appointed to arrange for the entertainment of the veterans Experiments With Gas Give Promise of Smokeless-Warship Washington, D. C.—As a result of investigations recently made in Wisconsin and Indiana, officials of the Navy Department are convinced that the time is not far distant when the American battleship fleet will be propelled through the water by means of gas engines. If the expectations of the experts are realized it will mean an increase in the fighting efficiency of the modern man-of-war and a great saving to the Government for the maintenance of its fleet. Among the Masons. One of the main reasons why the white citizens of the state approve the work of the colored Masons is because of the maintenance of a home for our widows and orphans. 'This shows that our unselfish work is being commended in a quarter that we did not know of. This, too, should cause every member in the jurisdiction to do his unstinted duty toward the support of our home in Americus. It costs each member only fifty cents a year, and who should begrudge giving this small amount for such a benign institution? Our brethren are reminded that the first payment for this home is now due and should be paid to their lodge in order that the lodge can make prompt report to the treasurer of the home department. It is very gratifying to note the interest in which the ladies of the O. E. S. have evinced in the home by their liberal contribution at the last grand communication. Keep up the good work, sisters. Present conditions will compel the officers and members of our jurisdiction to be very careful in their action. We should avoid demonstrative meetings, or that which will attract undue public attention. The Grand Master has always urged, and the time now demands, that each lodge should have very short meetings. One hour is sufficient for any meeting except in the event of work. Let every master be mindful of this fact, and be sure to have their meetings very short and quiet. We have always urged our members to be model citizens in their several communities. This admonition has borne fruit, for we are told that wherever our lodges are located the members have the best wishes of the white citizens. Continue to cultivate this friendship, brethren. The Gavel. Another of the most ordinary working tools is the gavel. It is employed by the operative Mason to break off the corners of rough stones, and thus to reduce them to proper form for the purposes of the bulder. In speculative Masonry, it is, like the gauge, one of the working tools appropriated to the degree of the entered apprentice, and symbolizes the necessity of removing, even although by means somewhat severe and painful, the irregularities which unfit a man for his place in that glorious building, the spiritual temple of God. It teaches very impressively the imperfection of our nature, and calls us to earnest exertion for spiritual and moral improvement. In this, also, we are to be helpful to each other; and those who have made the greatest progress themselves, are best able to render kind assistance to their brethren. This is especially the duty of those who, because of their merit, have been advanced to the highest offices, and therefore the gavel is placed in the hands of the worshipful master, as a symbol of his authority to maintain order in the lodge. It is significant of his duty to remove asperities, to prevent abutilions of violent temper, and to restrain frivolity, that every assembly of the lodge may serve to make its members more perfect, and more worthy of their place as spiritual stones in that temple which it represents. The master's gavel is sometimes called a Hiram, from the name of Hiram Abiff, to whom Solomon gave the chief charge of the construction of the temple at Jerusalem. The name gavel is derived from the German, gipfel, a peak, from which also comes the same term applied to the end of a house, the gavel or gable, running up to a point at the summit, the form in the one case and in the other being somewhat similar. The mallet is sometimes used by masters of lodges instead of the gavel. The sight of the gavel may well remind the Mason of that text of Scripture: "Put off all these—anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth."—Col, 3:8 Is it easy to "put off" all these? Ho who has tried can, tell. He who has not tried is but the rough ashlar as yet, unprepared for a place in the walls of the spiritual temple. The mere outward things it may seem comparatively easy to put off, but it is not so as to those which are more of the heart, "anger, wrath malice." It is a great attainment, indeed, to be able to quench and subdue these passions in any considerable measure, so that they may not break forth in word or deed, but the true believer, or the good and worthy Mason, is bound to labor continually for the suppression of them even in his heart. Respect the gavel, brethren, nor forget That 'tis but wielded by a master-hand. And gavel down each harsh, ignoble deed That otherwise would rank dissension breed St. Simons Island, Ga., Aug. 28, 1909. To the Brethren of the Grand United, Order of Odd Fellows, Jurisdiction of Georgia: I saw an article published in the Atlanta Independent, mentioned my name as being in Joe Watson's caucus meeting. That is untrue, because I do not know Brother Joe Watson when I see him; and I have not been in a caucus meeting in Albany. All the differences between Brother B. J. Davis and myself had been settled in an amicable way before the opening of the District Grand Lodge, with satisfaction to both of us, although with all intention of voting against the whole administration, except Ingram, as I have stated in the past. One of the executive committee asked me in Albany if I am in favor for re-election. I told him no. He asked me why. I told him because you should give the honor to some one else after you have been honored, but you want it for your own benefit, not for the honor. I do not blame you to run for it again, but as for myself, if any one else is nominated, I will vote against you. As for myself, I do not know of any corruption of the executive committee in person, but, at the same time, I disagree with them in taking the widows' and orphans' money to purchase twenty-two thousand dollars lots in a place like Atlanta. Before many days, it is my opinion, the white people of upper Georgia will drive every Negro from their town except their servants. Any farthinking man who has any manhood and looks at the condition of our people nowadays in the state of Georgia, or in the southern states, will not advise any society to build headquarters on a twenty-two thousand dollar lot with the widows' and orphans' fund. Remember, it was only about four years ago that the white people tried to kill every Negro in Atlanta in a little riot. That should be a warning to them. In the next two years to come, if we should erect a proper building in Atlanta, suitable as headquarters for the order, that will be prima facie evidence of the Negro running from Atlanta to the salt water coast for protection! You will find our race now is under the same condition of the Jewish nation in the past. We are hated by almost all nations and prejudices are entertained against us now. Yours in F., L. and T., P.

The Cleveland are the quietest lot of players in either major league. They seldom kick at decisions. The Cleveland Club has purchased outfielders Callahan and Cosgrove from the Springfield (I. I. I. League) Club. Pitcher Joe Wood, the Boston boy wonder, is only nineteen years old. He is one of the most promising pitchers on the Red Sox staff. The time of the year has come when likely pennant winners take pencil and paper nightly and figure out their chances from every angle. Three of the best young players of the year happen to be second basemen—Collins, of the Athletics; Egan, of the Cincinnatis, and Miller, of the Pittsburgs. Why is it that a batter takes an unholy delight in swatting a slow ball for a base hit? Probably for the same reason that a pitcher delights in fooling the batter with a slow ball. Manager-captain and shortstop Michael McCormick, of the Hölyoke team, of the Connecticut League, has been traded to the Boston Nationals for shortstop Dahlen and pitcher Lindaman. Money and Chairs for Aviation. M. Basil Zakaroff has given 700,000 francs for the foundation of a chair of aviation in the faculty of sciences of the university. M. Henry Deutsch has given 500,000 francs, and promises in addition an annual grant of 15,000 francs, toward the creation of an aero-technical institute in the University of Paris. The Osiris prize ($20,000) is awarded by the Institute of France every third year for the most remarkable contribution to the course of progress. This year it goes to Bleriot and Volsin, aviators.—Science. The New Haven Register rises to say: The Young Turks may be an improvement over the old Turks in some ways, but they are very Turkish, nevertheless. Turkey will not be a good summer resort for those who cannot subscribe to the doctrine that Allah is great and Mohammed is his prophet. Temperance in all things, excepting those a fellow likes too well to give up. - When the motor boat is weak, the skipped of a dory is great.
