The TO EXTERMINATE "HOOK WORM" Washington, D. C.-The interstate commerce commission announces that by railroad accidents during the year ending June 30, 1909, 2,791 persons were killed and 6,920 injured, as against 3,764 killed and 68,989 injured in the preceding year. The number of employees killed in coupling cars wits 32 per cent less than last year. It is also shown that there were 2,912 derailments and collisions in the same period, of which 272 affected passenger trains. Chicago, Ill.—Two bombs were thrown here in the downtown district in buildings occupied by gambling clubs. The bombs were the thirty-second and thirty-third that have been hurled in gambling establishments within the last two years. No one was injured. For two years bombs have been exploded intermittently in Chicago in the vicinity of places declared to house gambling clubs and bookmakers' establishments. The bombs have been thrown in what is believed-to be a quarrel between gamblers who operate in violation of the law, VOL. XXV. Rockefeller Gives $1,000,000 to Fight the Disease. HE IS FOND OF THE SOUTH Magnate Says the Gift Expresses His "Appreciation of the Hospitality Shown Him By the Southern People. New.York Citil.—A gift of $1,000,000 by John D. Rockefeller to fight the "hook worm disease" was announced here. A dozen well known educators and scientists, selected in large part from institutions of learning in the south, where the parasite is prevalent, were called in conference with Mr. Rockefeller's representatives, and at that meeting Mr. Rockefeller's desire to organize a commission to carry on a campaign against the malady was discussed. As a result of this discussion of the situation, the "Rockefeller Commission for the Eradication of the Hook Worm Disease" was organized. The members of this commission, as selected by Mr. Rockefeller, are: Dr. William H. Welch, professor of pathology in Johns Hopkins university, president of the American Medical association; Dr. Simon Flexner, director of Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research; Dr. Charles W. Stiles, chief of the Division of zoology, Unit States Public Health and Marine Hospital service, and discoverer of the American species of hook worm, and the prevalence of the disease in America; Dr. Edward A. Alderman, president of the University of Virginia; Dr. David F. Houston, chancellor of Washington university, St. Louis, Mo.; Professor P. P. Claxon, professor of education in the University of Tennessee; Honorable J. Y. Joyner, state superintendent of education, North Carolina, and president of the National Educational association; Walter H. Page, editor of World's Work; Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal Hampton Institute; Frederick T. Gates, one of Mr. Rockefeller's business managers; Starr J. Murphy, Mr. Rockefeller's counsel in benevolent matters; John D. Rockefeller, Jr. All but Professor Claxton and Mr. Joyner were present at the meeting and they have both since accepted places on the boards elected to carry out Mr. Rockefeller's plans. In calling these gentlemen together Mr. Rockefeller addressed to each letter pointing out his interest in relieving the human suffering caused by the "hook worm" parasite, especially because, he said, it had been his pleasure to spend a portion of each year among the warm-hearted people of the south, and he welcomed the opportunity to express appreciation their many kindnesses and hospitalities. The members of the commission in framing a reply to Mr. Rockefeller's offer of $1,000,000 declared that the proposition met with their heartiest approbation. "Two millions of our people are infected with this parasite," they added, "it is by no means confined to one class; it takes its toll of suffering and death from the intelligent and well-to-do as well as from the less fortunate." The "hook worm," according to New York Medical authorities, is a hair-like parasite to which is charged a form of apemia prevalent especially among the poor people of the south. It was not until recent years that members of the medical profession recognized that a parasite caused the malady. In December, 1902, Dr. Charles Wardell Stiles, then a zoologist in the Bureau of Animal Industry at Washington, who had been studying intestinal parasites, announced to the Pan-American Sanitary congress his conviction that the so-called "laziness" and "shiftlessness," widely observed in certain portions of the south was a specific disease due to the hook worm. Many members of the congress expressed surprise at the announcement and up to the present the disease has been a matter of some controversy. REPORT ON RAILROAD ACCIDENTS. DYNAMITE USED ON GAMBLERS. FOOTBALL FATAL TO GADET, Member of West Point Eleven Dies. Injured in Harvard Game. West Point, N. Y. - Cadet A. Eugene Byrne of Buffalo, U. S. A., a 69-year-old t the United States Military academy died in the cadet hospital, a sacrifice to football. The army is accustomed to death, but not in this deplorable form; and this tragedy of the gridiron has brought such poignant grief to officers and cadets alike that the end of football at West Point and Annapolis is predicted by many. Brave as was the young soldier's fight against death, it was hopeless from the start. Buried beneath a mass of struggling players in the Harvard-Army game, his neck was twisted and broken by the weight of the crushing pile above him, and he was picked up with every nerve of his body, except those of his head and face, helpless to perform their functions. Only the immediate resort to artificial respiration kept the boy from almost instant death. Because of the death of Cadet Byrne no more football will be played by the West Point eleven this year. This statement was made by Colonel Hugh L. Scott, superintendent of the United States Military Academy, after a consultation with the athletic authorities of the academy on the death of young Byrne. MONEY GIVEN FOR PANAMA CANAL Negro Club of Birmingham Sends $50 to the United States. Washington, D. C. Under a sixword title, a small membership with alternate vacancies in the list of officers and letter-heads redundant with Biblical quotations, a negro organization at Birmingham, Ala., has come to the rescue of the Panama canal. Twice has it contributed to the success of the lathmian project, each time with an enclosure of a sure enough cheque for $25 made out on a New York bank. The fifty dollars it has passed along has been placed in Lance Sam's coffers to the credit of the club with the eademan name. The letter follows, dated at Birmingham; "The People's National Progressive Consolidated Club, under charter of the state of Alabama, together we stand, divided we fall together, interest, concern. Mal. 2:7; Hos. 4:6; Deut. 31:25:28. "To the Treasury Department of the United States—Sir: The People's National Progressive Consolidated Club sends twenty-five ($25) for the support of the government in the construction of the Panama canal, for commerce, trade, etc.; $25 in full payment. The Panama canal building contract will prove favorable to this club in the state of Alabama. Your obedient servant." - THE PEREECT HUSBAND. Qualifications of a "Model Husband" Of the Chicago Standard, Chicago, Ill.-Samuel W. Van Nostram, who was adjudged the "model husband" at the second annual "hubby show," received from his wife credit for being the possessor of all the virtues necessary to make an ideal mate. "Other than possessing the most super-husbandly quality of being good-natured before breakfast," said Mrs. Van Nostran, "my husband allows me to carry the family pocketbook and declares, just as if he meant it, that my cooking is so far above 'mother's' efforts in the culinary line, that there could be no comparison. If that is not glory enough for one woman, I would like to know what is." The complete list of desirable qualities attributed to her husband by Mrs. Van Nostran are: Prompt at meals. Good entertainer. An adept with the chafing dish. Good judge, of feminine beauty. Generous and kind-hearted. Enjoys home more than the club. Happiest when among friends. Mr. Van Nostran, who also received the prize for his almost womanly ability to sew on a button, is thirty-five years old, and has been married nine years. PREACHER FAVORS SUICIDE MACHINE. Drop a Penny in the Slot and Get a Ticket to Eternity. Washington, D. C.—"Drop a penny in the slot and get a ticket to the other world," might be the inscription on a machine that is suggested by Rev. Dr. Donald Guthrie of Baltimore. Dr. Guthrie was talking on "Calvinism" here, and said: "Life has become so meaningless and so useless to some that I advocate the setting up of a suicide machine, where one can deposit a cent and be killed easily, and respectably." Girl Stole Mourning Dress. Cincinnati, Ohio. Because she is alleged to have taken a quantity of black silk goods with which to make a dress of mourning colors to wear at the funeral of her father, who lies dead in Covington, Ky., Miss Mamie Schmidt, 26 years of age, was arrested in a department store here. Jewish Immigrant Starves. New York City—Orthodoxy so uncompromising that it prevailed even over the instincts of self-preservation caused the death of Gisella Brilen, a young Hebrew immigrant. On the nine days of her voyage across the Atlantic the girl could get no "kosher" food and she fasted. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1909. LATE NEWS NOTES. General. During the fourth annual convention of the meat packers at Chicago a committee reported to the effect that prices, which are now higher than ever before, will never go lower, and probably must go still higher. This, it was said, was due to the rising cattle market, on account of the increased cost of raising cattle. The committee said that the prices were purely a matter of supply and demand. J. Eads How, known as the "millionaire hog," who has been studying the conditions of the unemployed in Europe, said at a meeting of the unemployed that the question of the unemployed was about to be solved. He told his hearers that conditions were as serious in Europe as here, and that an international congress had been arranged to take place next January in Chicago. This body, he said, would settle the question and provide work for all. What is believed to be a message from the dead was picked up recently by Meagher Moore of Fort Worth, Texas, when he found a bottle at Aranas Pass, containing a story of shipwreck. The message is written on the piece of an oilskin and was enclosed in a wine bottle, the message bearing date of August 14, 1903. The message is bearly decipherable at this time, but it tells of a terrible hurricane which visited Cayman islands on that date, and adds further that the schooner Gull, Captain Betley, was driven out to sea and wrecked. A number of names are attached to the message, all of which appear to be Italian. No one at Galveston remembers any ship bearing the name of Gull, but it is a fact that a tropical hurricane visited the islands named on the date mentioned. The dying wish of Francisco Andréola of Kenposh, Wls., was gratified when he had the biggest funeral ever seen in that city. The man had $12,200, which he had saved from years of labor, and when he found he was going to die, he made a signed statement in which he asked that all of it he spent for a funeral. A brass band of forty pieces preceded the twenty-six carriages. The church will receive several hundred dollars for massees. He had no family, his wife having deserted him some time ago. Once again the Bank of England has raised its discount rate, the advance of one point bringing it to 5 per cent, the highest point since the panic of 1907. It is the third consecutive week since it has been felt necessary to prevent gold leakage by raising the discount a point. The gold reserve was then down to $110,000,000. Berlin being a strong factor in the gold demand. Seventy-five thousand pounds of tobacco, belonging to C. A. Simpson of Grant county, Kentucky, who was aided in its shipment by state militia, arrived in Lexington. Simpson is not a member of the Burley pool. Having been threatened, and fearing interference if he attempted to ship his tobacco, he appealed to Governor Wilson for aid. The governor detailed a detachment of state troops from Cynthiana to go to Grant county and assist in the shipment of the tobacco. In their effort to give President Taft a royal welcome when he visited Jackson, Miss., the citizens had an entire banquet furnished from Chicago. The hotel where the dinner was given supplied nothing but the chairs and the tables. Linen, china, glassware, silverware and food were shipped from Chicago. Forty servants, including the most skilled waiters and the finest cooks to be found in Chicago, traveled the seven hundred and thirty-eight miles to the Mississippi city to prepare dinner for the artistic and paved fashion. Of the food, only fillet of pompano and roast wild turkey, both of which are native of Mississippi, were obtained in Jackson. No wines were shipped from Chicago as Mississippi is a prohibition state. Washington. The coast defense guns at Fort Hancock, near Sandy Hook, N. J., have made a new record. At a moving target four miles off the ten-inch disappearing guns wert fired and four hits out of four shots in one minute were recorded. Half a million dollars in the Cheroise, Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian tribal funds is involved in a decision announced by the comptroller of the treasury authorizing the disbursing officer to pay claimants entitled to receive the money on behalf of miprons or deceased allotees. There are approximately ten thousand minors to whom are due amounts ranging from 3 cents to $50. The $500,000 is exclusive of what may be found due the Choctaw and Chickasaw freedmen and the Mississippi Choctaws, whose right to participate in the tribal fund is yet to be determined. The prevailing sentiment in the inland waterways commission is not yet in favor of the issue of bonds for the improvement of internal waterways. President Taft has expressed himself in a tentative way, at least, in favor of thus raising money to expedite the improvements of rivers and harbors, but the commission is not convinced that this is desirable. President Taft has approved the sentence of dismissal in the case of First Lieutenant Edward W. Terry, Twenty-second infantry, recently tried and convicted by courtmartial at Fort Gibbon, Alaska. Terry had given his plunge in 1906 to abstain from intoxicating liquors for five years, this he violated while on duty, RESULTS OF ELECTIONS Tammany Elects Gaynor Mayor of New York—Hearst Third. JOHNSON LOST IN CLEVELAND Francis J. Honey Lues in San Francisco, Democrats Win in Virginia and Kentucky and Show Gains Elsewhere. New York City.—Tammany elected another mayor of Greater New York, but lost its grip on city finances. William J. Gaynor of Brooklyn swept the five boroughs to victory as mayor by at least 70,000 plurality, defeating Otto T. Bannard, republican-fusion, and William Randolph Hearst, independent. He failed, however, to carry his ticket with him, and the republican-fusion forces will control absolutely the board of estimate and apportionment, which will disbuse approximately a billion dollars during the administration. This is more than half a defeat for Tammany, for the control of the board of estimate was one of the principal issues of the campaign. Hearst ran a poor race. Once defeated in his contest for the mayoralty against McCillan in 1905, he went down again with a total of less than 50,000, as against approximate 245,000 for Gaynor and 245,000 for Banquard. Tom Johnson Loses in Cleveland. Cleveland, Ohio—Tom L. Johnson, for four terms mayor of Cleveland, was defeated for a fifth term by Herman C. Baehr, republican county recorder. Unofficial returns from approximately half of the city indicated that Baehr's plurality over Johnson is at least 4,000 and may run to 6,000. Reformers Lose Int Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Pa.-Philadelphia reelected Samuel P. Rotan, district attorney, on the republican ticket by a large majority. His opponent was D. Clarence Gibboney, long a leader of the reform element, and well known by reason of his connection with the Law and Order Society, which has been active in the suppression of vice in this city. Victories Scored by Republicans. Indianapolis, Ind.—In the municipal elections held throughout Indiana, the republicans scored several important victories, the most vital of which was in Indianapolis. Samuel Lewis Shank, the republican candidate for mayor, and the entire republican ticket were elected by majorities ranging from 1,000 to 1,500. Francis J. Heney Defeated. San Francisco, Cal.-With about one-third of the vote counted late P. H. McCarthy, union labor candidate for mayor, had a lead over both his opponents 'that, if maintained, would give him a pimilarity of about 10,000. On the same basis Fickert, republican and union labor nominee for district attorney, was leading Francis J. Heney nearly 2 to 1. Brand Whitlock Won in Toledo. Toledo, Ohio.—Brand Whitlock, political successor of the late "golden rule" mayor, Samuel M. Jones, was elected mayor for a third term. Practically the entire independent ticket was elected with him, including the council. Fairly complete returns show that Whitlock's plurality over David T. Davies, republican, is approximately 4,500, compared with 6,500 two years ago. Louisville Won by Democrats. Louisville, Ky. — Though returns from thirty scattered precincts may reduce the plurality slightly, indications are that W. O. Head, democratic mayorally candidate, has won over Mayor James F. Grinstead, republican candidate for re-election, by 2,000. Owen Tyler, citizens party candidate, received but about 1,000, and George D. Todd, independent republican, 26 votes. The election of the entire democratic ticket for councilmen, municipal and county officers is conceded by the republicans. Democratic Gain in Massachusetts. Boston, Mass. — It is many years since Massachusetts voters were so evenly divided on the question of state government as in the election. With about two-thirds of the state accounted for, Governor Draper, republican, will have apparently a margin over his democratic opponent, James H. Vaheym, of about 10,000, as compared with 60,000 a year ago. Virginia True to Democracy. Richmond, Va. — With returns in from about half the cities and counties of the state the indications are that Judge William Hodges Mann, the democratic candidate for governor, has been elected over W. P. Kent, the republican nominee, by about 23,000 majorit- BANK GUARANTY LAW FAILURE Depositors of Broken Oklahoma Bank Not Yet Pald. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma - More than a half million dollars contributed by the state banks under the deposit guarantee law has been used in paying depositors of the insolvent Columbia Bank and Trust Company, which failed more than a month ago, and there remains more than $400,000 in deposits to be paid with only $1,123 in cash on hand to pay them, though sufficient-assets, apparently, are available to provide for the remaining deposits. This condition is shown in a preliminary statement issued by A.M. Young, Oklahoma bank commissioner. CENSUS OF RELIGION. Washington, D. C.—That the church members in the United States numbered nearly 33,000,000 in 1906; that there were a billion and a quarter dollars invested in church edifices; that every day.eight new churches sent their spires skyward; that men formed considerably less than half the total church membership; that in sixteen states the majority of the church membership were Roman Catholics, but that of the grand total of church members reported for the United States 61.6 per cent were Protestants and 36.7 per cent Roman Catholics—these are the salient facts appearing in the proof sheets of a United States census' bureau bulletin, prepared by William C. Hunt, chief statistician of the division of population of the United States census bureau. More than $13,000,000 is represented in 444 new church edifices as having been built, in course of erection or definitely planned during the first nine months of 1909 in the 14 southern states, the District of Columbia, Oklahoma and Missouri. • Of the total amount $4,396,000 represent Methodist undertakings, $2,708,500 Baptist, $1,840,500 Protestant Episcopal, $1,161,000 Presbyterian, $330,000 Catholic, $569,000 Christian, $270,500 Lutheran, $210,400 Jewish, and $1,066,700 various bodies with comparatively small following in the south. DESIRABLE JURORS. Porters, Cabmen and Waiters Are Not Desirable Chicago, Ill.—Porters, cabmen and waiters are not desirable for jurors, according to Jury Commissioner William A. Amberg, who testified before the judges who are investigating alleged irregularities in the drawing of venires. "The jury commissioners 'believe that men who live by accepting tips are not of a character to make good jurors," explained the witness, "Following are others whom the commissioners ignore in selecting veniremen: Actors, because they have no fixed abode. Laborers and foreign tailors, because as a rule not of sufficient intelligence. Boiler makers, because of defective hearing. Saloon keepers and bartenders, because of their occupation. Train dispatchers and tower signal men, because doing a greater service at their regular positions. Others whose names are not considered are medical and theological students, all of whom are exempt. M'CLUNG MADE TREASURER. Important Change Takes Place in the Treasury Department. Washington, D. C. — Important changes in office and a new swing in the administrative work of the treasury has taken place. Mr. Reynolds' retirement as assistant secretary of the treasury became effective. The change in the office of the United States treasurer also took effect, Leo S. McClung, once conspicuous as a college gridron hero, taking the oath of office as successor to Charles H. Treat, A. Platt Andrews took the oath of office as director of the mint. A commercial agreement with France, under which reciprocal low rates of duty on imports prevailed, expired, and the full rates under the new tariff law will lapply on all imports from France. MOTHER AND DAUGHTER MURDERED. Perth Amboy, N. Y.-The authorities began the investigation of the murder of Mrs. Sifas H. Marks and her daughter by robbers who took $16,600 from their home four miles from here. The bodies of the woman and the girl were found by the husband and father, who returned from church and discovered the double crime. He is frantic with grief. A posse of farmers, alided by dogs, took up a traill left by the criminals, in the hope of capturing the culprits, who are believed to be yeggmen. The countryside is alarmed, however, and the authorities will have the co-operation of hundreds of the residents in the large district. Newsy Paragraphs. With the aid of the Cuban director of posts, the postoffice department has succeeded in confining the sale of Cuban National Lottery tickets in the United States to a minimum. About fifty communications from persons and concerns in this country ordering tickets or making inquiry to the Cuban National Lottery have been transmitted to the postoffice department by the Cuban government. Professor George B. Foster, of the University of Chicago in a recent address to the women, of the Jewish Council, said they need not be sensitive to the taunt that their race had crucified Christ, adding: "Any other race would have done the same. The Christian church of today would do it, but it would discard the wooden cross as not being refined enough and would use a spiritual one instead." Holding it to be subversive of existing institutions, the Russian censor has suppressed the reports of the speech delivered by the British chancellor of the exchequer, Mr. Lloyd-George, at Newcastle. It contained this declaration that "it is time the laboring masses shook off the tyranny of the dukes and landlords." Chattanooga Men Will Be Arraigned November 15th and Sentenced-Sheriff Say, "It's Pretty Tough." Washington, D. C.-The unusual proceeding of the arraignment for sentence at the bar of the supreme court of the United States will be witnessed November 15th. In accordance with an announcement made in the cases of Joseph H. Shipp of Chattanooga, Tehn, and five co-defendants, charged with contempt. The court denied motions for a rehearing of the cases. The cases originated in the court's deciding in March, 1906, to consider the appeal of a negro named Ed Johnson from a verdict of the Tennessee courts, holding him guilty and sentencing him to be hanged on a charge of criminal assault. The night after, the determination of the supreme court to review the proceedings in the case was wired to Chattanooga, where Johnson was confined in jail, a number of people stormed the jail and took him out and lynched him. Lynching incensed. The court was much incensed over the lynching, and at its instance the attorney general instituted proceeding against Shipp, who was sheriff, and the jailer and twenty-five others, supposed to have been implicated in the lynching, charging them with contempt of the court and supreme court. Many of the accused were exonerated and in the second only six were found guilty. There were Sheriff Shipp, his deputy, Jeremiah Gibson, who was the jailer; Luther Williams, Nick Nolan, Henry Padgett and William Mayes, residents of Chattanooga. The finding of the court was announced in May, just before the close of the last term of the court; but all the defendants entered motions for a rehearing, which had the effect of postponing action until the present term. Sentence on November 15. The court, through Chief Justice Fuller, announced its denial of the motion, the chief justice stating at the same time the decision to have the defendants appear on November 15 to receive sentence. It will be the duty of Marshal Wright to present the men in the court, but he said that he expected all of them to appear to hear the court's verdict, which would relieve him of the necessity of going to Chattanooga after them. The court has the discretion to either fine or imprison the men or to inflict both penalties, and no intimation has been given as to what course may be pursued. It is only known that from the beginning of the proceeding the court has appeared exceptionally interested in the case, and is believed to feel that an example must be made to prevent other indignities to the court. "All the defendants assert innocence. Shipp and Gibson declare there was no advance indication of violence to Johnson and say that otherwise they would have taken better precaution. Most of the other men implicated claim not to have been present when the negro was killed by the mob. Pretty tough, Says Shipp. Chattanooga, Tenn. — "It's pretty tough. I don't know what to say, I'm speechless." These were the words of ex-Sheriff Joseph F. Shipp, when informed of the action of the supreme court of the United States in denying a rehearing and summoning him and five co-defendants to appear in Washington. November 15 and receive sentence for contempt of court. The five co-defendants are Jeremiah Gibson, Wilfiam Mays, Nick Nolan, Henry Padget and Frank Ward." "The proceedings are the outgrowth of the lynching of Ed Johnson, a negro, in Chattanooga, in March, 1906, he having been convicted in the state courts of criminally assaulting a young white woman in December, 1905. SEVEN ESCAPE FROM S. C. JAIL Jailer Was Struck Down by One of the Prisoners. Greenville, S. C—Jail-breaking occurred in the county jail here. Seven prisoners escaped. All were serving life sentences. Only one has been captured. The jailer was entering, a corridor of the cell tier when one of the prisoners who was hiding behind the doof, struck him down. The others then made a rush and were away before he recovered. All were negroes. BALLOON TO CIRCLE GLOBE. Professor Lowe Constructs Air-Craft to Circumnavigate the World. Union, S. C.—A plant to circumnavigate the globe in a dirigible balloon without having to stop to replenish the propelling power—hydrogen—is regarded as entirely practicable by Professor Thaddeus. S. C. Lowe, the noted aeronaut and scientist, and now head of the Mount Lowe Observatory near Pasadena, Cal., who is now constructing an aircraft designed to accomplish that feat. Professor Lowe has experience in aeronautics covering more than half century, and holds the world's balloon speed record, 800 miles, in less than nine hours. duly in total Ten Thousand Dollars , and which are held by the State of Georgia , by authority and under the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly , approved October 25d , 1887 , and amended December 20th , 1897 . R. E. Parsi . CONDITION OF TREASURY State Treasurer Brown Talks of State's Finances. SURPLUS FO $2,056;513.19 "Georgia Is in Better Financial Condition Today Than For Years," Claims the Treasurer. Atlanta, Ga.-State Treasurer J. Pope Brown estimates that the state will, on January 1, 1910, have a surplus of $2,056,503.19 with which to begin the payments of appropriations for 1910. Mr. Brown makes this assertion in a well-prepared and logical statement which he gave out dealing with the condition of the treasury. The statement follows: "I have received so many inquiries as to the financial condition of the state that I have sought carefully to ascertain the facts. "While the treasurer is not charged with the duty of financing the state, still I feel that the people are entitled to know the result of my investigation. "The state's fiscal year runs from January 1 to December 31, inclusive, and most of the discussion has been upon what would be the condition of the treasury at the close of the present year. "The two questions that have been under consideration are, first, how much cash will be in the treasury on January 1, next; and second, what will be the true condition of the treasury, crediting assets and deducting liabilities on January 1, next. "Confusion has been caused by treating these two different propositions as though each had the same meaning. "As a result of the most thorough investigation, I am confident there will be ample cash collected during December to meet every liability which may be presented on January 1. "The exact amount of cash which will be held in the treasury January 1, next, must depend largely upon how rapidly taxes are, paid in December." "With cash enough in the treasury to meet the immediate liabilities of the state at that time, the question of real importance is, what-will be the true condition of the treasury, crediting assets and deducting liabilities? Or, in other words, how much balance will there be after collecting the taxes and paying the appropriations for 1908 with which to meet appropriations for 1910? "After a most thorough investigation I find that with the close of the present year, if the state is charged with all unpaid appropriations for 1909 still to be collected and collectable, the state will have a surplus of $2,056,503.19 with which to begin the payment of appropriations for 1910 The question arises, with such a surplus at the first of the year, why are not all claims of the school teachers met promptly as they mature? the bulk of the income of the Treasurer of the State of Georgia. state is from ad valorem taxes. Their collection begins in October, increases in November, December and January, and continues even beyond April. The heavy collections are in December and January. "The monthly revenues of the state, outside of ad valorem taxes, is hardly sufficient to meet current expenses over and above the required payments upon the public debt, and appropriations for pensions and public schools. "Under our present law we must pay $950,000 to pensions in February. Interest on the state bonds, together with $100,000 set apart annually for the sinking fund, will tax our surplus to the amount of $400,000. This only leaves a little over $650,000 of the surplus to be used for paying teachers and other bills before the ad valorem taxes begin to come in in November, 1910. "The surplus of $2,056,503.19 gives ample money to meet the calls on the treasury until some time during the summer. From that time until the ad valoem taxes begin to come in all the teachers' claims cannot be met unless other current liabilities are left unpaid. "If only half of the pensions had been paid in February and half half remained to be paid from ad valoem taxes in December, this would have left $475,000 of additional cash in the treasury. That would have covered the school claims which have been presented so far this year. "This condition of the treasury is nothing new. It is the natural result of making appropriations payable during a given year and relying upon the taxes not collected until the last of the year with which to meet payments. "Georgia is in better financial condition today than at any time for years. We will carry over a larger surplus from 1909 with which to pay appropriations for 1910 than we carried over from 1908 with which to pay appropriations for 1909. "Our surplus is, therefore, increas ing. If pensions are paid semi-annually and the legislature holds appropriations to their present figures, through the increase of taxable values the surplus will soon be sufficient to meet all liabilities as they mature, including amounts payable to teachers." STATE GLEANINGS. Paperc transferring the Georgia Masonic Temple in Macon to the Georgia Life Insurance company have been signed. The price paid to John S. Schofield and C. Y. Johnson was $37,500. Heinry Banks, of LaGrange was elected grand master of the grand lodge of Georgia Masons at the meeting in Macon. He succeeds Thomas H. Jeffries of Atlanta. The other officers are: Deputy grand master, Georgia M. Napier of Monroe; senior grand warden, Robert L. Golding of Savannah; junior grand warden, F. O. Mullin of Fqrt Valley; W. A. Wollhlin of Macon, grand secretary and treasurer; Lee Wages of Macon, grand tyler. The new grand master is a popular Mason and citizen and is widely known over Georgia. A party of engineers have begun a resurvey of the old Gainesville and Dahlonega right of way under the supervision of E. B. Epps of the Midland railway. At a meeting of the legislative and executive committees of the Georgia Industrial association held in Atlanta, which was also attended, through invitation, by representatives of about twenty big cotton mills of the state, it was decided to curtail production for several months to the extent of 25 per cent. The critical conditions which the mills face at the present time were thoroughly discussed, and it was decided that some remedy was absolutely necessary. WAR STILL CONTINUES Atlanta, Ga.-The campaign for stamping out the black root, which has cost the cotton planters of Georgia over a million dollars this year, will be continued with the co-operation of the agricultural department and the State Farmers' Union, through the middle of December, and it is believed that great good will be accomplished as a result. Instructions are begin given the farmers at these meetings on how best to cope with the black root, by State Entomologist E. L. Worsham, Professor Nixon of the State-Agricultural College, Commissioner of Agriculture T. G. Hudson and J. L. Lee, president of the State Farmers' Union. Following up these speeches, the department of entomology will distribute a resident variety of cotton seed, which have grown in Georgia, and which will not become affected by black root. It is believed that as a result black root will be entirely driven out of the state in the course of a few years. The damage by black root is not confined alone to the cotton itself, but the cotton seed, which has come to be one of the most valuable parts of the cotton crop, is also destroyed. STATE BOARD OF HEALTH OFFICIAL TALKS OF LAZY BUG Atlanta, Ga.—"John D. Rockefeller's munificent gift of $1,000,000 will go far toward-eradicating the hook worm from the south," said an official of the state board of health. "We have no idea, of course, how much of this fund will be used in Georgia," he continued, "but we hope a good share of it, as the disease is undoubtedly prevalent to a large extent in Georgia. Altogether we have examined and treated some 500 cases of hook worm in this department within the past several months. "Practically in every case we have conquered the insidious intestinal hair like worm. This disease is more prevalent in sandy country than elsewhere, and is, therefore, to be found to a greater extent in south Georgia than in the northern section, although we have treated cases from upper Georgia. "Thymol is the deadly foe of the hook worm, and a very small amount of it will cure the most obstinate cases. Mr. Rockefeller's gift will go far toward starting a general campaign through the south that will practically wipe out this trouble. It has been demonstrated that it can be easily cured, and in a general This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has complied with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro-Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business. That we pay our claims promptly can be testified to by the thousands of our satisfied members. campaign of education the people will be taught how to treat and prevent the disease. "While the hook worm is found more generally among the poorer classes, and to a considerable extent among mill operatives, it is by no means confined to them. It is often found among people of wealth and culture. It leaves its victim pale and anemic, giving rise perhaps to what is often called the 'lazy disease.'" SUMTER COUNTY FARMS BRING VERY GOOD PRICES Americus, Ga.—Nine representative planters of North Carolina and South Carolina arrived in Americus to purchase plantations, several of the party already having expressed determination of settling here. Quite recently considerable numbers of South Carolinians have purchased plantations near Americus, and are inducing friends in the Palmetto State to come to southwestern Georgia. Probably fifty former South Carolinians are now landowners here and delighted with the situation generally. RECORD ATTENDANCE AT THE UNIVERSITY Athens, Ga.—The University of Georgia has broken all previous records as to attendance. The attendance to date is eleven in excess of the attendance at this time last year, and that in spite of much stricter entrance requirements than ever before in the history of the institution. The total attendance for the session will approximate 525 pupils. $2,000,000 IN COTTON IN' AMERICUS WAREHOUSES Americus, Ga. Americus warehousemen report a total of 27,000 bales wagon cotton handled to date, and worth at current prices almost two million dollars. Without exception, every planner in the Americus territory who sold cotton last summer at 10 cents for October delivery has made satisfactory settlement. The limit of time has expired on several contracts, and not one farmer failed to square accounts, though at considerable financial loss. Forty thousand dollars, it is estimated, was the price it cost farmers MANCHESTER FAST BECOMING Manchester, Ga.—Official announcement was received here from Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic officials that actual work will begin at once on the new $100,000 general shops to be located here for the Atlanta, and Birmingham divisions. The shops will employ between 50 and 100 skilled mechanics, and will undoubtedly add several hundred new citizens to the rapidly growing metropolis of Merlweather. Another big industrial announcement comes from the Manchester mills to the effect, that the $600,000 plant at this place will be completed about December 1, and will begin operations, than to supply order, it has taken to be delivered in February. STATE BAPTIST CALL. Office Recording Secretary M. B. C. of Georgia, Route No. 5, Box No. 47, Hawkinsville, Ga. October 1st, 1909. To the Brethren of the Missionary Baptist Convention of Georgia: In view of the fact that we are to meet again in annual session, in the month of November this year, I have deemed it expedient to address this circular letter to the Brotherhood. First. Let it be borne in mind that we will not be favored with the certificate plan in November, account the convention; but instead of getting certificates there will be reduced rate return tickets on sale November 7, 8 and 9, from all points in Georgia to Atlanta. Rates of 3 cents per mile plus 25c, with final limits to return November 16th, 1909. This arrangement is cheaper than using the certificates. There is to be an automobile exhibition in Atlanta the same time, and the rate above mentioned has been granted on that account. So when I applied for the usual certificate plan the Company advised me that it would make said rate apply to Convention also. Connection with the programmes, I send you this letter so that there will be no mistake. Take due notice, and be governed accordingly. We have learned that changing the Convention from June to November does not meet the approval of a host of brethren. It will be remembered that the change was recommended in the President's annual address, which paper was referred to a committee; the committee reported favorably and subsequently the convention adopted and approved it by her votes. Let's go up to Atlanta in full force, and if the change is not the best, let's urge that the convention may rescind its action; but, personally, I think the change from June to November is best. 1st. It's a time in the year when the majority of the laymen have some money that they can give, as well as the pastors. 2nd. Every farmer in our convention who is interested in our work could plant one or two acres of cotton specially for conventional purposes, and in November of each year a great contest could be worked up among the farmers. 3rd. The associations belonging to our convention will have met and closed at this season—and they could send by their moderator or representative their annual donation direct to the convention, and through that medium. If properly worked up and given a fair trial before we decide to change from November back to June, it will only be a question of time before we can lay on the conventional table from three to five thousand dollars. 4th. Now, we have some white friends who have, and are still stand- Dooda, Contracts, Wills and Other Legal Forms Prepared and Attested. 4262 West Broad St. ing by us; and in view of that, let me, as your secretary, urge that we make the keenest sacrifice and raise for printing and general expenses, besides education, not less than $500. There are some outstanding claims which your secretary and treasurer are compelled to meet, because all we have in the way of property stands subject to claims we made for the convention. Should you fall to provide for us so that we can meet your creditors, legal steps will be taken against us immediately. Now, if you cannot come to Atlanta, please send $1.00 as your enrollment fee, and a donation from your church. Address your letter to the convention in care of the secretary. Whatever amount sent will be promptly reported and a receipt for the same will be mailed to you in return from Atlanta, I am, Young for success, J. A. KIRKLAND, Rec. Sec. M. B.

Curiously enough, Mrs. Tuppins hated the country and Mr. Tuppins hated the city. They could not agree — at least Mrs. Tuppins could not, for it happened, that the Tuppinses lived in the country, on the old Tuppins farm; and although this was an arrangement that suited Mr. Tuppins to a T, it did not suit Mrs. Tuppins to any alphabetical designation whatever. Mrs. Tuppins was city born and bred, while as for Mr. William S. Tuppins, I need only say that S stood for Sillas. At the age of twenty-nine Mr. William S. Tuppins had left the farm to sek his fortune in the city; at the age of thirty he had returned to the farm, bearing no other fortune than Mrs. Tuppins. And as for his experience in the city, I will say no more than this: the morning after William returned to the farm, which the hired man and his wife had been running on shares, he went to his work whistling for the first time in a year, and when with a stick he scratched the backs of the little black pigs, and listen* to their grunts of ecstasy, it seemed to him that sweeter music moral never heard. But as for Mrs. Tuppins, it did not seem that way to her at all. She looked with a sigh of regret at her high-heeled shoes and her long silk gloves, which were never intended for walking over bottom meadows or picking blackberries out of the brers. She missed the c owds and the lights and the shops and the cars. In short, she grew to hate the country; and she did not hide her feelings, either, as William soon found out. "Well," he said one evening, "the potatoes are all in." Mrs. Tuppins sniffed. "And the beets," he continued. Mrs. Tuppins sniffed again. "Too cold out here?" asked Mr. Tuppins. "Shall I fetch you a shawl or something?" "No," said Mrs. Tuppins, distinctly, "I'm not cold." "To-morrow," said William, "I think I'll start them putting a new lining in the upper spring." Mrs. Tuppins sniffed again, and when William looked at her he saw that her clifted little nose was point- ed most disdainfully at the poor old country moon. "Why, what's the matter?" asked William. "William," she said "you know the way you like the country?" "Yes." "The pigs, the chickens, the cows, the horses, the hay, the corn, and the barn, and the pond, and the ducks, and everything—you know the way you like them all?" "Yes." "Well—that's the way I like the city." That was how the difficulty began. William in vain argued that he was not worth his salt in the city; in vain he enumerated all the advantages of country life—the fresh fruit and eggs, the fresh air, and the milk and the cream and the vegetables, to say nothing of the freedom from worldly cares. To all these eloquent arguments Mrs. Tuppins had a simple question: "William, you know the way you like the country?" To which William could only miserably answer, "Yes." "Well, then," said Mrs. Tuppins, "that's the way I like the city." Now among the fowls which chucked about the Tuppins farm-yard there was a certain speckled hen known as Old Spotty, and whether or not it was because she took offense at this familiarity I do not know, but the fact remains that Old Spotty began to sulk and keep to herself. "I can't make out what's the matter with her," said My. Tuppins, one morning, seeking for a subject of conversation that would be pleasing to Mrs. Tuppins. "Doesn't seem to take any interest in life at all. Just mopes round all day and pecks the other hens when they come near her." Somehow Mrs. Tuppins felt interested for the first time since she had become a member of the farming population. As soon as breakfast was over, she went out and looked at the disconsolate fowl. Old Spotty looked back at her disconsolately enough, and Mrs. Tuppins at once sought the advice of the hired man; and began to pamper the hen. Now, even if one wished to do so, one could not single out a hen from a flock and pamper that particular one—the other hens would see that no favoritism was shown. You could not, for instance, throw a handful of green stuff at one hen and expect all the other fowls to stand off at a respectful distance and watch the favored one with an envious eye. That is not the nature of poultry. So it happened that Mrs. Tuppins, striving to alleviate Old Spotty's disconsolation, pampered all the hens, with the result that they scampered toward her, clucking in friendly excitement, whenever she showed herself in the yard. This secretly tickled Mrs. Tuppins, although she pretended the contrary. And here is another thing; one cannot keep going into a barn to get corn for the chickens without patting the horses and saying "So boss," to the cows. It is an utter impossibility, as every one knows who has tried it. And from patting a horse's back it is only a step to patting his nose, and of course one cannot at a horse's nose long before one begins to pass a carrot or two, and from that to lumps of sugar is the shortest of distances. So every morning that Mrs. Tuppins went into the barn for corn wherewith to pamper the hens, there was such a whinnying and stamping of feet as you never heard; and when Mrs. Tuppins came out at last with her pan of corn—and was at once assailed by her faithful but riotous hens—her face was as rosy as could be, and her eyes were as bright as diamonds. Another thing, too: one cannot keep going into a garden for carrots and greens without notting things. One cannot enter a garden for instance, with closed eyes and grope round to the carrots and come out the same way; and especially is this true if there are six hives of bees in the garden! So by degrees Mrs. Tuppins began to notice the tomatoes, the plumtrees, the parsnips, the currants, the flower borders, the beans, the lettuce, the raspberries, and all the other delights that lay just back of the house. And when one gets so far, one pulls a few weeds, perhaps, or waters the flowers, or eats a few raspberries while wondering if the plums will soon be ripe. When one is as bucolic as all that, it is distinctly irritating to be set at naught by a cross old hen that keeps growing cranklery and crankler, and refuses to respond to scientific agricultural treatment. Old Spotty remained obdurate. She seemed to think that they wanted her to set, and she would not go near the coop. Then she apparently considered that they were trying to keep her out of the chicken-house, and she refused to come off the nest. Still trying to pamper her, Mrs. Tuppins slipped a dozen eggs under her, and in due course of time Old Spotty was leading ten little chicks around, clucking at them peevishly, pecking at them for nothing at all, and look-at them as if she had more trouble than enough. Now one night, when this foolish fowl had been covered up in her little triangular pen, the same being placed near a similar pen which another-den occupied with her five little chicks, there suddenly rose such a commotion that Mrs. Tuppins ran out to see. All of Old Spotty's chicks had deserted their peevish and pecking mother, and the other hen, whose family had suddenly grown from five to fifteen, was so puffed up with conceit that she looked double her natural size, and could only with great difficulty see out of her eyes. And they were the merriest fifteen little chicks that ever peeped—playing tag beneath the conceited hen's wings, playing blind man's buff and puss-in-the-corner and hide-and-seek and similar games, putting their heads out from time to time, as if to take the air, and popping back in again, as if they had suddenly remembered a most urgent and delightful appointment! But as for Old Spotty, imprisoned in her coop and seeing the error of her ways now that it was too late, she was almost frantic. Such squawking! Such clucking! Such terrible threats to the puffed-up hen! Such anxious calls to the merry little chicks! Finally one little fellow, that perhaps had not found a comfortable place, or had been "it" in the games too often to suit him, tumbled out of his new quarters and scampered back, beneath Old Spotty's wings. And if you had seen and heard the rejoicing of that happy mother and the gentle way she cuddled him with her wing, and the tender way she clucked at him, it would have touched you as it touched Mrs. Tuppins as she went slowly back to the house. "William," she said, after eating a very silent supper, "you know the way you love the cows and the horses and the chickens and the garden and the bees and the woods and, everything?" "Yes," said William, miserably, once more. "Well," said Mrs. Tuppins, with cheeks that put the roses to shame, and eyes that left the diamonds simply nowhere; "well—so do I!"—Youth's Companion. And He Suffered. Little Willie, suffering from an attack of toothache, had paid his first visit to the dentist, accompanied by his mother. Father, on his return from the office that evening, was naturally much interested. "Didn't it hurt?" asked father. "Sure, it hurt," replied Willie. "Weren't you scared when the dentist put you in that big chair and started all those zizz-zizz-zizz things?" "Oh, not so much." "That was a brave boy. But, surely, you suffered?" "Of course I suffered. But I just kept repeating over and over the golden text we had in Sunday-school last Sunday." "The golden text? What was it?" "Why, 'Suffer little children to come unto Me,'" replied Willie, glibly. "I kept saying that over and over to myself, and the first thing I knew it didn't hurt any more."—New York Times.

There are cultured American women who are finding serious fault with the average educated man in this country. They tell us that he is not interesting to woman. He has lost many of his old romantic emotions, and is therefore a dull, poor love-maker. He is so ignorant on many of the subjects that absorb modern women's minds that he is socially dumb and stupid. But, worst of all, he lacks something more than mere knowledge and development; he lacks temperament. He lacks a state of mind and consciousness, that woman is hungering more and more for in man. It is a psychic state of mind; a spiritual intelligence; a comprehension and sympathy; an appreciation and patience that know how to speak and, above all, how to inspire. No, the American man does not interest and charm woman as man does in most of the countries of Europe, notably in France and Italy. But why does he not? There are acute foreign observers who visit us and declare that American life has evolved a man and a woman who live in two separate worlds. Our men and women are fast becoming complete strangers to each other. They actually know less of each other and enter less into each other's innermost life than men and women in those lands where woman goes veldled or communicates with man by means of a fan in church, or steals a glance at him through a window. The familiarity and equality of the two sexes in America have built a stupendous wall of ignorance between their souls. Woman has become commonplace to man. He thinks he knows her only too well. While to woman man has lost all the mystery of his power. He is a thing of clay, and most inferior clay at that. Therefore, man prefers to associate with man and woman with woman. In no other country in the world are there so many exclusively men's and exclusively women's clubs. These two distinct worlds of the American man and woman are separated by walls of adamant in education, in business and in society. Woman in the middle and upper classes goes her way with her leisure for culture, her charities, her clubs and guilds and society. She investigates history and science, and she writes and reads. Her mind becomes critical and analytical. She is restless, she travels. Man, on the other hand, flings himself with all his mind and soul into that modern maelstrom — business. In this world he forgets woman's heart, for it is a world without sentiment, without romance, without love. It is a world of producers and acculators. The American business news, in his mental state, like a ship leaving port. His mind is always going out. His occupation, his complete absorption in the things before him, and his general attitude of mind carry him as far away from woman's world or in opposition to woman's world as the east is from the west. He loves business as a gambler loves his game or a miser his bag. He soon neither knows nor cares for anything else. There are innumerable exceptions, but this is the tendency and spirit of business. When man steps into woman's world, it is like a whale floundering on the shore or an elephant wading into the deep. He is timid, and his timidity is that of conscious ignorance, and it is often mingled with a feeling of repulsion toward himself. He perceives at a glance that his own spirit has tended to harden and make artificial woman's spirit. The late Mrs. Astor said of the modern American man, "Socially, he does not interest or please woman because he is not socially developed." He has no leisure for society, and that caste organization called society is in too chaotic a condition in most places in this country to develop him if he had the leisure. The American of importance is, as a rule, not at home in an assembly of women. He is a poor listener to things that do not directly appeal to him, and he looks impatient and bored on formal social occasions. His range of knowledge outside of his own profession is astonishingly limited. Ten representative men—politicians, business men, manufacturers, lawyers, bankers, insurance officers, brokers, etc.—were asked the question, "Are the men you meet and know interesting?" The instant reply was, "Outside of their own work—no." The raconteur of extraordinary gifts abounds in this country, but good story-telling is not conversation. The French, the finest conversationists in the world, do not, in what they call their chamber-music talks, allow protracted anecdote. Conversation, according to the French art, is rapid, animated, lightly tripping and turning speech without argument, without difference of opinion in the company of about a dozen aptly selected men and women. In one of these companies a Frenchman is an near heaven as he ever expects to get on this earth. Seldom do men and women in our own country have a real taste of this rare social and intellectual experience. In levee conversation, in which Napoleon, Victor Hugo and Gladstone shone like stars, and in which the present German Chancellor is at times an adent; the American makes a rather poor showing. The levees at the White House are generally crushes, and bon mots are absent. The President is delighted to see everybody, but we have had in no modern President a brilliant talker, and there are no three men in our public life to-day who have the breadth of culture of Mr. Balfour, Mr. Bryce and Mr. John Morley. A New York business man packed his son off to Harvard, and the last instructions he gave him were that he should try to be "sociable." But the boy protested that he did not care for society. His only passion was athletics. When he had been at the university a few months the father visited him, and saw in his room the pictures of a number of beautiful women and slippers and sofa pillows that had come from scores of feminine admirers. "Well," said the millionaire, looking around, "they seem to have found out who father is." The young man smiled with just the slightest suggestion of derision and said: "Don't know. I have not informed any one, and I have never visited any of these women. These pictures and other things have come to me because these women have seen me win on the gridiron." The millionaire father reflected for a moment, and then said: "My son, what I see and what you tell me reveal to me a great truth. If you had made a million dollars in Wall Street the fact never would have produced this evidence of woman's admiration. Plenty of women would like to have your money, but not one would think the more of you for having the money." And in this age of money-making that is the chief virtue of athletics, Woman to love man requires, as a rule, the exhibition of the heroic in him. In Europe educated men live more within themselves than we do, and they have constantly evolved from the inner spirit a world of thought and art that renews life. They are sustained-by a tradition and history, in whose rich, mysterious atmosphere we behold them as far more interesting than ourselves. They endow language and speech with an esoteric meaning that is absent from the written and spoken words of America. Woman is not herself a creative artist, but she does create art through the soul of man; and she does in turn breathe the interpretation of it physically into the hearts of men. The majority of women are not by nature democrats, and Europe still possesses those ranks, distinctions and spectacular shows of royalty and nobility that appeal to the feminine heart. European courts have a glamour for certain of our women that is not to be found in anything else. The throne is a social power and centre, such as no republic could or would ever build. "Don't ask me," remarked a patriotic, intelligent American woman, "which I had rather do—ride with the President of the United States to his inauguration or with the King of England to his coronation. I fear that I might confess something that would greatly shock you." Nor are the striking virtues of the American man attractive to woman. He possesses great common sense, he loves facts and direct motion; and, above all, he loves good-humor and humor. He is a servant in the house. He is the most indulgent of men alive. He will let his daughter read the story of his bankruptcy and financial disgrace in the newspapers before he will cut off one dollar of her remittance. Woman admires his virtues and generosity, but they do not command her soul. To her there is nothing heroic in them. They do not dazzle her.' Her thirst of curiosity in man remains unquenched. She will fall in love with a stranger disguised across the footlights, or she will elope with her father's coachman in her efforts to satisfy this curiosity.—Harper's Weekly. WILES OF A SPECULATOR. Daniel Drew, a Wali Street speculator, was at one time (1865) the richest man in the United States, worth it is said, $13,000,000. Drew began life as a cattle drover, never altered his attire, but still dressed in the slovenly clothes of his cattle droving dress. Like Vanderbilt, Drew was absolutely uneducated. He pronounced the word shares "sheers," and Vanderbilt spelt boiler "boyler." Neither man believed in books, keeping all their gigantic accounts in their heads, and Drew's speculations were colossal. Of the methods of making money the following anecdote will afford an excellent idea: One evening he entered a club in which were a number of men of the financial world. Old Daniel ran in, as it to look for some important stock broker, and then ran out again. "Guess Dan'l has some points," said one. "He's on the scoop," said a second. "It would be worth a few million dollars to know what's in Uncle Daniel's head," said a third. Drew re-entered the room more excited than he left it.

"That was the year," said Mr. Jesse Sparhawk to the little group of listeners who had gathered to hear his reminiscences of war times, "that was the very year that my cellar was so unmercifully overflowed." "What do you mean by 'unmercifully overflowed,' I'd like to know?" demanded Mr. Potts, the town trial, from the outskirts of the group. "I don't gather your sense." - "I mean," said Mr. Sparhawk, after a glare at the offender who had thus arrested him in the full tide'of recollection, "that there was too much water for walking, an' not enough for boating.

If you're waking, call me early, call me early, Mother dear; I will not yawn and rub my eyes and ask if morning's here; I will not pull the covers up as I have done before; And ask you if cannot sleep just half an hour more; I'll jump right out of bed as soon as ever you may call; And be all dressed and down the stairs and gone out through the hall. Before you can stick Robinson—the circus will be here. At 4 o'clock, so call me early, early, Mother dear! —J. W. Foley, in the New York Times.

Dr. Dick Woods, a physician of this city, has it, is said, more good stories "up his sleeve" than any other doctor in town, and the latest of these was told by the doctor a day or so ago at a club of which he is a member. "Heard a good one this morning," he said. "A little girl and her mother were walking down the street, when they came to a place where straw had been spread over the pavement to deaden the noise because of the illness of a woman living in that square. "Oh, jook, mamma," cried, the little girl. "What's all the hay dohn' out in the street?"

Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga as second-Class mail matter. SELFISHNESS has caused the downfall of many a business enterprise. OUR people in this city should become more public spirited. Let the other parts of the county know we are on the map by doing things that will help. THE colored State fair of South Carolina opens Monday. Rev. R. Carrol is at the head of the movement and it surely spells success. It will be held at Batesburg. A Few weeks ago in Emanuel County a white man was convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for life for the murder of a colored man. Wonders never cease. All honor to Emanuel County for this much justice. LAST Tuesday election was held in a number of states. The most important was the killing, of the disfranchisement bill in Maryland. This bill was hard fought. The majority against it may reach 20,000. We rejoice with our people in Maryland in its defeat. In one of the interior towns recently the sheriff of the county was said to be drunk and creating a disturbance. The town marshal attempted to arrest him, but received a bullet for his efforts. This speaks well for the guardians of the peace in this state, and it shows too, how many incept colored persons are accused of alleged crimes by the class of officers who imbibe too freely. The people in the North and West are busy agitating the white slave question. The business is indeed a despicable one. There is also a question that confront us as a race, and that is the horde of irresponsible young women from the South who flock North and East each summer. Reports coming from many of them are not very complimentary and should not be allowed to continue. The leaders of thought and the pulpit in every southern city should take up this matter. A white business man, of the prejudice class, said during the week that the "white folks pay for the coming of the airships, but the colored people are enjoying the sights" Well, suppose it is a fact, do not the colored citizens in a way pay their part for the fun. If it were not for the patronage of the colored citizens at least seventy-five percent of the retail stores in the city would be out of business. How about that? Again if the white committees would call on colored business men for aid in such undertaking their donations would be liberal. ALL of our readers are acquainted with the lynching of the colored man, Ed. Johnson at Chattanooga about a year or so ago and the charge of contempt made against Sheriff Shipp for conniving at the same. He was found guilty in the Supreme Court of the United Sates. A rehearing was requested. This much the honorable court has denied it and ordered the sheriff along with other guilty ones to appear within two weeks to be sentenced for contempt of court. Every possible influence has been brought to bear in order to thawrt the findings of the court, but this was impossible. Every lover of law and order applaud the decision of the court in denying the rehearing. Too many times especially in this section, have the courts been treated with contempt by the lynchers. Many of our young men have great opportunities of doing much good for themselves and those around them if they would only grasp these opportunities by improving themselves in their positions, husband their earnings, secure homes and making safe investments. It is not the fact because you have an humble position with a very small salary, that you cannot improve yourselves. The men who have made the greatest progress in life in this country had humble surroundings and in poverty. Our own Fred Douglass was compelled form the rigors of the Maryland winters to warm himself by keeping his feet in the warm ashes of the fire place at nights. Our great-Booker Washington was born an ordinary slave, but what is their fame to day? Our young men can conjure their aspiration from the lives of these two noted Americans. Recently a publication selected one thousand and names from various lines of industry, of men who have succeeded ed and found their early chance in life as follows: 300 were sons of farmers, 200 were messenger boys, 200 were newspaper carriers and sellers, 100 were apprentices to printers, 100 were apprentices to mechanics, etc., 50 were car couplers and switchmen. And 50 were sons of wealthy parents. The above is food for our young men. Let them labor, let them learn, let them save, let them invest, keep clean the conscience and above all let them be men. THE "good time" young man, who are not inclined to save a part of his earnings have no place around the homes where there are young ladies. FREEDMAN's day will soon be here. As yet no arrangements are being made to celebrate it. Why not invite a man of national reputation to speak for us. Hon. Judson W. Lyons for instance. THE TRIBUNE congratulates Dr. White and The Georgia Baptist on its very creditable Women's edition of last week. Dr. White is the nestor of journalists in the state and THE TRIBUNE is always glad to honor him. ONE of the causes of the nonsuccess of colored business men is their failure to advertise. The man who owns a business and do not let the people know about it through the columns of the newspaper stands in his own light, and will soon be a failure. Use printer's inks freely and success will surely come. Our women should beware of the hair straightener. Be more loyal to the race than attempting to ape the hair of another races. No fault can be found in the attempt to beautify the hair, but make no attempt to change its texture. THE TRIBUNE has ever decried the hair straightening and color"changing business, and would not permit ads of that nature in its columns. We have but little respect for the man or woman who attempts to get away from the race by the color changing or hair straightening routes. VERY often we are approached by business folks who accuse us of not sending our paper containing their ads, etc., saying that they had contracted for same. On investigation it is always found that the contract was given to another paper but same was intended for THE TRIBUNE. Again other business men importune us to insert ads at the same rate as some other papers, this we cannot do. Our space is too valuable, and again it is not business like to fill the paper with ads at ruinous rates. THE TRIBUNE is too well and long established to indulge in such. LAST week THE TRIBUNE published an interesting interview with the Hon. Judson W. Lyons on the Freedman's Bank question. He gave us a succinct history of the institution and what is necessary to be done in order to interest congress in the reimbursement of the depositors. This matter should be taken up by our people all over the country and letters and petitions should be sent to every representative. It is not too early to begin as congress meets next month. The reimbursement of these depositors means much to our old people, many of them being helpless. Onz of the able and practical women of the race is Miss-Nannie Burroughs. In a recent address she gave utterance to thoughts that should be eagerly digested by those of us who are thus interested. Miss Burroughs said: "We might as well learn this year as next, that it is no disgrace to be a well trained servant, but it is rather a shame and a crime to be a makeshift. No woman who wants to make dresses thinks it an eternal disgrace to prepare herself for the work. Then, why should a woman who feels it her calling to wash and iron, or keep house, or cook, turn up her nose when some one tells her to go to a training school and learn how to do her work. "If the Negro woman doesn't watch her job and do her work better than any one else she will find that it has been taken by the woman of the same nationalities that took the barber business, the boot-boot business, and the whitewash business from the Negro men." In this community there are about five institutions alleging to be homes for orphans and old folks. Not one of them is being supported by the people. One of the main reasons why the public refrain from giving unstinted supported is that there are too many of them and apparently too, without any systematic organiza- tion] THE TRIBUNE suggests that the best thing for all of these institutions to do is to get together and form one strong organization with a board of officers composed of citizens of unquestioned standing and integrity. Unless this be done, spasmodic work of the existing institutions will be of no avail, and those who are intended to be the beneficiaries will continue to suffer. It is time for the leading citizens to take a hand in this matter and do not allow conditions to continue as they are for as such, they will be a blot on all of us. Georgia's Leading Financial Institution. On Monday night the stockholders of The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company held their annual meeting at which time the officers rendered their reports and directors were elected. The meeting was well attended and the stockholders felt gratified on the excellent showing of the company during the year. The report of President Williams was concise and showed at a glance how the business was conducted, its growth and its future prospects of advancement. Mr. W. S. Scott, the secretary and treasurer, backed up the statement of the president by the presentation of figures that were more convincing. The growth of The Wage Earners has been phenomenal and elicits the favorable comment of all who keep up with its affairs. Its savings department is the depository of a number of the leading institutions in the city and the state, also having several hundred individual accounts. The Wage Earners since its organization has erected homes for nearly four hundred families in this community and is destined to be of greater benefit to our people. The directors elected were Messrs. L. E. Williams, W. R. Fields, W. S. Scott, L. M. Pollard, P. E. Perry, W. H. Burgess, R. B. Brooks, W. J. Williams, J. G. Garey, Geo. S. Williams, Wm. Wright, Sol. C. Johnson. The stockholders and directors are determined to make the ensuing year a banner one for the company. The Sailors Banquetted. Last week THE TRIBUNE announced the coming of the colored sailors on the torpedo boats. Immediately Rev. W. L. Jones, D. D., the popular pastor of F. A. B. Church and other public spirited citizens met and arranged to tender them a banquet. This was done at the church on Wednesday night. It was a success in every respect, and proved to the boys of the fleet that there are some public spirited men in Savannah. Dr. Jones is commended for his lead in the matter. Death of an Old Savannahian. Judge W. H. Matthews, one of Brunswick's oldest and best known citizens, departed this life October 21 at 11:30 p.m., after an illness of several weeks. In the death of Judge Matthews the race loses a statesman and patriarch, the wife a devoted husband, his daughters, a kind father, the church a consistent Christian and his brethren a true friend. During his life he held offices of public trust in this state and for the government of the United States and was known throughout the world. He was a member of the K.K. P's and was funeralized at the First A.B. Church last Sunday with very imposing ceremonies. Rev John Williams officiated. Mr. John Byrd, undertaker—Advocate. Our citizens were pained to hear of the death of Judge Matthews. He is an old Savannahian, but for about twenty years resided in Brunswick. The Judge was well and favorably known here. In politics, in church, and fraternally, he held prominent places. THE TRIBUNE and the citizens here condole with the family in their bereavement. Mr. T. B. Kelly Dead. After being in bad health for some time, Mr. T. B. Kelly of Atlanta died on Thursday of last week and was buried from Big Bethel last Sunday. The funeral was largely attended. Mr. Kelly wae a Mason and one time Grand Secretary of the Odd Fellows. He was a gentleman well liked by many. His friends all over the State will be sorry to hear of his death. Second Baptist Church. Sunday was much enjoyed here: Rev S E Griggs, Educational Secretary of the National Baptist Convention preached an excellent sermon at eleven o'clock. The church donated him $20.00. The pastor being sick, the Rey C B Colins filled the pulpit at night and preached an acceptable sermon. Revs Hills, Wright and others preached in the meeting this week. Dr May and people will commune with First A B Church tomorrow afternoon; in turn that church and pastor will commune with us the second Sunday afternoon. Revs Wright, Blair, Irby, Boynton Whitmire and their churches will commune with us same Sunday. A thirty minutes prayer and praise service will be led by Deacons Mucherson of Bryan Church and Gilmore of the First A B Church. The Deacons Union will also be with us. Don't fail to hear the choir Sunday at both hours, they will charm you Indeed, Sunday school at 3:30 tomorrow. - The slick list Is comparatively small this week. One funeral. The pastor will preach tomorrow. Rev T J Streeter will assist in the revival next week. The roll call will be resumed tomorrow morning: A New School for Colored Children is being Erected by the Catholic Very Rev. Ignatius Lissner has given out a contract for the construction of a new school for our colored children. It will be erected on Gwinnett street west, near the water works. It is a nice locality and probably soon a colony of good colored people will settle down in the district. Therefore, Father Lissner has secured a few lots, on which he will build a school and later on a little church. The school will be ready by Jan. 1st, 1909; it will be connected with St. Benedict's Church and under the care and management of the priests. This will be the fourth school erected by the Priests of the African Mission Society; the principal one is St. Benedict's school, Gaston and East Broad streets with 130 children and, the Franciscan Sisters as teachers. On Oct. 1st, two new schools were opened. St. Antony's, West Savannah and St. Peter Clavier's at the Chatham hall. About 200 children frequent these two schools, one hundred in each; 4 lay teachers are employed in them. Children of all deminations are admitted; their religion is not interfered with, but every day Christian doctrine is being taught during half an hour, convinced as we are that education without good principles of religion and morality is a failure. Our first ambition is to give to our colored children an education which will make them good citizens and Christian men and Christian women. In St. Benedict's school, six grades are taught and the fee is to cents per week; the two other schools are practically free, as only the nominal fee of 5 cents per week is being charged; very poor children are admitted gratitudously. We had the intention of having these new schools entirely free, but as the number of children is so great we had to engage an assistant teacher; and we asked the parents to pay the salary of this second teacher, a request to which they cheerfully consented. The expenses connected with these schools are very large; we had to buy the lots, to erect two nice school buildings, to buy first class school desks, to treat the Chatham hall, without mentioning many secondary expenses. But we shun no pecuniary sacrifices in order to carry out our noble work of the education and the uplifting of the colored people in Georgia. Too much credit cannot be given to Very Rev, Ignatius Lissner, the Superior of the African Mission Society, on whose shoulders is laid the heavy burden of providing the means of realizing our dearest projects. Unfortunately there is still much prejudice and even bitterness against the Catholics amongst our non-Catholic brethren. Many colored people also suspect the sincerity and good intentions of the Catholic Priests, because they are white. We are still very much misunderstood. But our work will speak for itself. We left our home and our country to continue the work of Christ, the divine friend of the poor, amongst the neglected children of the colored race; and whoever is sleeped in ignorance or bigotry in such a grade as to suspect the sincerity of our intentions is doing us a cruel injustice. Your noble comment about the Catholics in one of the last issues of your paper, Dear Editor, was highly appreciated, and every sincere and fair minded man will admit it in all truth: "Matters not," you say, "what may be said of the Catholic, they are doing more, real good for the uplifting of the unfortunate ones of our race than all of the other denominations combined." Joseph A Dahlent. Sacred Concert a Success. Last Sunday evening the sacred concert at Beach Chapel under auspices of the First Congregational Church choir was well attended and a success in every particular. The well arranged program as published was carried out and each number was enjoyed. Mrs. J. K. worked hard to make it a success, and with the officers and members of the church desire to thank the participants and also the friends who attended. services tomorrow as usual. Sunday school at 10 a.m.; preaching by the pastor Rev. W. L. Cash at 11 a.m. Reception of new members and celebration of the Holy Communion at 8 p.m. Visitors be taken for the benefit of the poor.

The members want Monumental to to lead the state in every respect, because she has the pastor to lead her to success. She is the mother and she is compelled to the pastor preached two excellent services fully. All of the boards are working hard to help the pastor off to conference. "Faith is the victory." F B B Church Those who attend church on Sunday morning were much pleased to note the progress that the Sunday School is making. The S S choir with Mrs J C Woodruff as chorister and Mrs E Dennis as organist, rendered some very sweet selections. The collection from each class was presented by a pupil reciting a passage of scripture and telling the number of pupils and amount of collection. The amount of collection and the number of pupils were placed on the blackboard by Miss Mabel Hemby. Rev Wright commended the teachers highly for the great work that they are doing. Rev Wright read for the lesson 24 Ps. His text was from Ps 24:11. The subject was "Faith." The sermon was excellent and plain not only for the older ones but to the children for whom it was especially intended as it was "Children's Day." Rev Wright drew a beautiful lesson from the faith of Abraham and Isaac. God Yold Abraham to offer Isaac as sacrifice, when all was ready Abraham drew his knife and was in the act of slaying his only son, a voice called and told him to look in the thicket where he saw a lamb that God had prepared for him to sacrifice. God means for us to have faith in Him and look in the thicket, said Rev Wright in the night song night, said Rev for the lesson 23 Ps. Rev S E Griggs of Nashville, Tenn., was introduced by the pastor in glowing terms. Rev Griggs introductory remarks were grand es YOU CAN GET IT.FREE.

At St. Stephen's Church, tomorrow, the eighteenth anniversary of the Rev. R. Bright as rector of the Church, will be observed. There will be special services with the accompanying excellent music by the choir. Rev. Bright has rendered effective service at St. Stephen's since his rectorship and has raised a standard of Church work that many others could profitably imitate. He has made St. Stephen's an independent, or self supporting parish and is building up a loyal parish. Rev. Bright is well liked by the citizens. His interest in the unfortunate ones is well known by those who are very near him. Unostentatiously he works and possibly he does more good in this respect than many others. Rev. Bright was the first person in the city some years ago to have printed and distributed circulars on the tuberculosis question. Some time ago he was honored by being appointed Archdeacon of the Diocese of Georgia, a position never before held in the State by one of our race. THE TRIBUTE commends Rev. Bright for his earnest and effective work and congratulate him on his eighteenth anniversary as rector. A cordial invitation is extended to friends to attend the services tomorrow. Memorial Service. The Supreme Grand Temple of the United Brotherhood of America and Brotherhood Temple No. 3 will conduct memorial service in honor of the late Dr. S. Palmer Lloyd at St John's Baptist Church on Sunday Nov. 14, at 8:30. An appropriate program has been arranged. The public is invited to attend. At this service the death claim of Dr. Lloyd will also be paid. The Brotherhood is a young institution, but destined to be among the giants. Local Happenings During the Week. Hundreds of visitors were in the city this week. The merchants on Broughton street intend making a white way from East to West Broad streets.

The dog had a famous pedigree and was born in 1894, and died in 1908. This dog was a direct descendant of the great Master McGrath, which was regarded as the greatest greyhound which ever lived. He was owned by Lord Lurgan, of Ireland, and it said there was scarcely an Irishman in the country who did not know of this famous dog. Malsee was born at Fort Keogh, Mont., and accompanied the General through his army life during fourteen years. He was at Chickamauga during the Spanish War, and many Maine soldiers will remember the dog. The stone which his master has erected to his pet is inscribed: General Houton's Faithful · Greyhound, Born in Montana, 1894, Died 1908.

With this chest there is no excuse for a person not taking his medicine on time or for getting the medicines mixed. The cabinet consists of a stand with two little drawers at the upper corners and a desk portion on top. In front of the desk portion is a little door, just about wide enough to admit a bottle, and inside is a series of revolving trays. One of these trays is provided with numbers indicating minutes, another with numbers indicating the hours of the day, and a third with ordinals indicating the hours of the day and night. Each tray is divided into little compartments at each hour, so that at a certain hour a bottle in that compartment will be waiting at the door. 12 This is brought about by a clock mechanism which operates the trays, all of which are connected to a shaft and moved by the clock, the face of which is visible in the front of the stand. It now remains for the inventor to add an alarm attachment and it will be practically impossible to miss medicine time. — Washington Star.

Austria's new territory is undesirably rich in snakes, mostly of the poisonous varleties, and the Government is taking vigorous measures to exterminate them. In the ten years from 1896 to 1905 the average yearly death roll from snake bites in Bosnia and Herzegovina was thirteen persons, and 1,333 head of cattle, horses and domestic animals. Besides this, hundreds of persons were bitten by snakes, but recovered. Since 1906 the provincial authorities have given money premiums for the killing of snakes. In that year 30,056 dead snakes were brought in, of which 25,433 were poisonous. Next year, when the official reward system became more generally known, these figures increased enormously, no fewer than 280,718 snakes being killed, including 271,635 poisonous. Last year's figures were very nearly the same, and it will be, some years before the work of extermination can be anything like completed. But at the same time the number of persons reported bitten by poisonous snakes seems to be steadily decelerating—206 in 1907 and 140 last year. Sarajevo correspondent in Pall Mall Gazette. Allimony alleviates the alliments attendant upon altered attachments. Universal Ownership. "I am a Socialist," said the man with a large voice.

THE DIFFERENCE Coffee Usually Means Sickness but Postum Always Means Health. Those who have never tried the experiment of leaving off coffee and drinking Postum in its place and in this way regaining health and happiness can learn much from the experience of others who have made the trial. One who knows says: "I drank coffee for breakfast every morning until I had terrible attacks of indigestion producing days of discomfort and nights of sleeplessness. I tried to give up the use of coffee entirely but found it hard to go from hot coffee to a glass of water. Then I tried Postum. "It was good and the effect was so pleasant that I soon learned to love it and have used it for several years. I improved immediately after. I left off coffee and took on Postum and am now entirely cured of my indigestion and other troubles, all of which were due to coffee. I am now well and contented and all because I changed from coffee to Postum. "Postum is much easier to make right every time than coffee for it is so even and always reliable. We never use coffee now in our family. We use Postum and are always well." "There's a reason" and it is proved by trial. Look in pkgs. for a copy of the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are gentle, true, and full of human interest. GOOD ROADS False Economy. In a township in Vermont, the people recently undertook to build a road in imitation of modern highway methods. They did not seek expert advice as to wearing and binding qualities of stones, but used marble chips from a nearby quarry for the metalling and as a roller is a roller, and no other being "handy," they used an ordinary farm roller to compact the marble screenings. This roller, the report says, was so light that when it accidentally ran over a dog in the street the dog was not injured. Soon after the road was completed, it is needless to say, it proved an utter failure, and the time and cost expended upon it went for naught. The people of that community in this attempt to get a good thing at less than cost have proven again the old, old fact that cheap material combined with cheap workmanship has never, and can never, produce satisfactory results. There will be always people who will patronize bargain counters and who can be induced to accept, instead of the standard article, one which is "just-as-good" if it is sold at a little less price. The idea is that of getting something for nothing. It is speculative instead of business-like, and more money is lost than is made in such ventures. It is important, for localities to have good roads, but, in road building it is more important to use the good sense of requiring the best materials obtainable and the best kind of workmanship in placing the materials. Sometimes, of course, it is wise economy to use the material at hand, even though a little inferior, than to import it at excessive expense, but the work of making the road, especially with such material, should never be slighted to save expense. The cost per mile of building an improved road in the country districts usually strikes the farmers, at first thought, as prohibitive—they may not have their respective shares of the tax on hand or in the bank that they feel they can spare for such a purpose, and though the work of seeding and planting rests for its results on greater uncertainties than almost any other kind of business, the farmers, as a class, are most conservative about investing money without a demonstration that value will be returned. There are two ways of purchasing things, either by paying "cash down," or by deferred payments, and both are considered legitimate business methods. Many men buy farms and give a mortgage in part payment for them, because they believe they can make the farm support their families and pay the mortgage; and many men in business borrow money at the banks, believing that they can make it pay a profit. On this same principle, if it is not possible to pay the cost of building a good road in one payment, it is possible and it is wise for a community to issue bonds to supply the money to pay the cost, for a good road—if it is a good road—will always pay for itself by increasing the value of the real estate and by adding to the comfort and convenience of the inhabitants.—Good Road Magazine. Don't Waste Road Money. Our road building must be done by road men. If a schoolhouse is to built in a ward, no one ever thinks of telling the police juror from that ward to take the money and build the schoolhouse. If a courthouse is to be built, the police jury never thinks of telling the member from the county seat ward to take the money and build the courthouse. In both instances competent architects are employed, who draw plans and specifications and competent builders are selected to follow the plans of the architects. Yet, in road building, the average police jury appropriates so much money and puts it at the disposal of the police juror from each ward, who is, neither by education nor training, a practical road builder, and it is expected that the money to be spent by inexperienced hands on the installment plan will ultimately result in a permanent system of highways. The result is inevitable that the money, no matter how honestly spent, falls to realize the results anticipated. In order to have good roads you must build them just like you would build a courthouse or schoolhouse or bridge. You must first get a competent engineer to survey the ground and lay off the road and then secure the services of an expert road builder to see that the specifications of the engineer are carried out. Road building to-day is a profession and a trade combined. You employ an architect to draw the plans for a house and a carpenter to build it and a mason to do the brickwork. You must put the same trained mind and hand to work on your public road if you desire results; men trained to do this work, men who know how to do it, men who will spend the money, not only honestly, but efficiently.—Governor Sanders, of Louisiana. Not to Be Deceived. The cheap statesmen who attempted to defeat good roads laws last winter on the theory that it would be a popular campaign issue are finding—to the great credit of Kansas—that the farmers are not opposed to the payment of taxes employed in such public improvements as permanent roads.—Kansas City Star.

Those who have used silage in the production of beef are universally in favor of it. It proves a profitable addition to a beef-feeding ration. Experiment station tests have presented results which stand out prominently in favor of silage for beef feeding. The latest evidence from this source comes from the Indiana station, where a series of practical beef feeding experiments, are being conducted.—Weekly Witness. Engines For Farm Power. Some farms have steam boilers and engines, but for ordinary use they are too expensive to buy and too complicated to run. If a person only needs a five or ten horse power engine he don't want to bother with a steam engine. It takes too long to get up steam and too much attention when running. What he needs is a gasoline engine. The newer patterns of gasoline engines are practically automatic. You can start one after breakfast in the morning and it will run steadily until noon without attention. They start quickly, jump right into full power and run at less expense than any other farm motor power except windmills, and these are unreliable, because they are subject to the whims and fancies of the winds. One mistake often made in buying a farm gasoline engine is in getting it too small. You need a little reserve power. If you need two horse power buy a four horse power engine. It don't cost any more to run it to do two horse power worth of work, then you have the extra power when you need it. The cost of a size larger is not a great deal when compared with the additional service it will render.—The Epitomist. Supplying the Soil With Plant Food. Supplying the Soil With Plant Food. In fertilizing any crop the needs of the soil upon which the crop is to be grown are usually the leading consideration. A soil which had recently been well manured, or had a clover sod plowed under, would likely be pretty well provided with nitrogen, and accordingly the mineral constituents would be the principal concern. A heavy clay soil would not need the potash that a sandy or muck soil would require. The need for phosphoric acid is more general. After the soil, the needs of the crop may be considered. For instance, a 200-bushel-to-the-acre crop of potatoes will carry from the soil thirty-three pounds of nitrogen, twenty pounds of phosphoric acid and sixty-two pounds of potash; a thirty bushel crop of wheat, sixty-two pounds of nitrogen, twenty pounds phosphoric acid and twenty-six pounds of potash. For use upon the same sort of soil, then the potato crop would call for a fertilizer richer in potash than would wheat, if the store of plant food in the soil is to be maintained. It might be possible to omit the nitrogen for the potatoes, since the latter are usually closer to the clover sod or manure or both in the rotation than wheat.—Farmers' Home Journal. Geese For Breeding. A goose farm should have a running stream of pure water so situated that the fields may be laid out on both sides of the stream. The fields should consist of good pasture with a variety of grasses and of sufficient size to support a gander and three geese with their growing goilings. One gander and three geese to a pen are often better than any other number for breeding purposes. A shed on the north side of the field opening to the south is all the protection the geese require except in the extreme north. In the middle sections of the United States geese seldom will use the shed except during the laying and hatching seasons or on extremely cold days in winter. The sheds consequently need not be very large nor expensive. But the roof should be thoroughly waterproof and the bottom provided with a foot or more of straw. Toulouse, Embden and Chine are the three varieties usually raised. The Chinese lay more eggs than the others, but the birds are not so valuable consequently the larger varieties are likely to pay the best. Stock birds do not require to be renewed like other kinds of poultry, as geese are long-lived and the eggs are much better for hatching after geese have obtained full maturity. Breeding stock is at best from five to twelve years of age. This is especially true of geese. Sometimes it is advisable to renew ganders after six or seven years. Geese eighteen and twenty years of age have been known to lay as well as ever, and their eggs to hatch satisfactorily, but these of course are exceptional cases. The Embden and Toulouse varieties are large-framed birds, with long, deep bodies. They probably average about fifteen pounds in weight, but the ganders often weigh as much as twenty pounds or more. The Brown Chinese probably are the best looking geese we have, but the breed is comparatively small. This variety, however, is considered one of the best for crossing on the larger breeds for market purposes. Geese are very fond of their mates and it is difficult to break up a mating without removing the male bird entirely out of hearing. For this reason it is advisable to attend to the mating problem in the fall. If geese are kept on grass alone they probably will lay, one setting of eggs and hatch them out, but if given a grain ration in connection with the pasture two or three settings may be expected. Goose sheds should be provided with plenty of straw during the laying season. They will then make their own nests near the ground and the moisture problem will be taken care of naturally.—Epitomist. A Little Turkey Talk. After successfully raising turkeys for a number of years, I am able to give a few practical and useful hints on the subject which cannot fall to be of great benefit to the beginner, or perhaps to the ones who have been trying to raise turkeys, with but poor success. Turkeys, as we all know, are considered more difficult to raise than chickens, on account of their being more sensitive to the damp and cold of spring, and for this reason many do not try to raise them at all. I find that if turkeys are not hatched before the first of May, it is less trouble to care for them, and they are more apt to live. The common brown turkey is the most profitable. I once tried the white species, but found them poor layers, and not so hardy. It pays best to start with a small flock. Never keep over winter more than three hens and a gobbler. Right here let me say, be sure to get your gobbler and hens of different flocks in starting, and if you have your own, trade with some one, so that they will not be related to the hens. Inbreeding is very frequently the cause of blindness. I have seen inquiries in many farm papers as to the probable cause of blindness, and experience has taught me that this is the sole cause. It is unwise to set the old turkey the first time she gets broody, but break her up to lay more eggs, and set a hen or two in her place. When a hen is set, never use more than eight or ten eggs, and even then select a large hen. Give her a warm place to sit, and saturate the nest well with sulphur to keep away vermin. Use sulphur on the hen, also. A hen that is to sit for four weeks must be well fed and cared for. Give her plenty of fresh water and exercise and a small ration of corn meal wet with milk once each day. When a brood of little turkeys are first hatched they are weakly, and should not be taken from the nest for at least twelve hours. Warm, waterproof coops should be provided for them. Largy dry-goods boxes, such as can be bought for about twenty-five cents, make excellent coops. Turn these on their sides, with blocks under the corners to keep them off the ground. Nall strips of board over every crack. The top of the box forms the front of the coop. Nall, laths across the front so close together, that the little ones cannot crawl through, and make a little door, at one end, through which to feed and water them. I feed them on bread and milk for a few days, and then give them corn meal wet with sweet milk, a pinch of salt and some clean sand. Dutch cheese is also good for a change. They are very fond of it, and it aids digestion. Give them plenty of water, but do not leave it where they can tumble into it, as a wetting is almost certain to be the death of a little turkey. When they are a few days old I take a lath from the front of the coop and let them run out, after the dew is off. If the nights are chilly or the weather should be damp, cover the coop well with a warm blanket. The last year I raised turkeys I learned something, very helpful. I put the coop under a large tree where there was shade in the afternoon, and found that the little "turks" never left the shade, and did not run off into the grass and weeds and get lost, as they had formerly done. They cannot endure the hot sun. If you have hens with little chicks, do not put the coops near the 'ones where there are little turkeys, as a hen with chicks will kill, little turkeys. A hen with turkeys will likewise kill the chickens. When the old turkey hens are set later on, I take the same method with them as with the hen mother and brood, and take care to provide a large coon. When little "turks" are six to eight weeks old they can be let out with their mothers a short time each day if the weather is good, and by the time they are half-grown they can get their own living, by gleaning in the fields, and will make no more trouble. The last year I raised turkeys I lost but three and raised forty. Miss M. M. Chandler. You Look Prematurely Old MUNYON'S EMINENT DOCTORS AT YOUR SERVICE FREE.

A brewery in that place manufactured beer which was placed on the market under the name "Pilsner," the contention of the brewers being that the name applied to a certain kind of beer, which might be brewed anywhere. In the judge's decision, the complainant, representing the brewers of Pilsen, Bohemia, was upheld, and the defendant was instructed to discontinue the name "Planer Brauhaus," and as a further punishment the firm's license to do business was suspended.

BOSTON, MASS. 1 That citizen is most esteemed, who is felt most in the community-life, who benefits the community in which he lives, because by thrift and economy he lifts himself out of the burden class that bears so heavily upon the municipal life and makes of himself a power, an adjunct to the very strength of the community, and as such aids in propelling its machinery. To be esteemed most highly among the people who make up a community, one must, necessarily, do something and be somebody. He cannot hope to be reckoned of as a potent factor in the municipal equation unless he can contribute in some substantial way towards the establishment and maintenance of the equality thereof. For the municipality is made up of units and each unit has a part to perform, a place to fill in the municipal life and thought. Each unit benefits from its prosperity in proportion to the contributions made in the interest of its progress. But each unit does not benefit equally. It benefits according as it contributes: Hence it is that every one should strive honestly and mightily to establish—himself as a profitable factor of the community in which he lives. That man is great, wise and independent that unshackles from, himself the fetters of want and dependence. For truly has it been said that "wealth makes the man—the want of it the fellow." In the divine origin of things, men and not fellows were created—man, the mightiest of God's handicraft. For his benefit, directly or indirectly, all other things were created. But to come into possession of the things most needful, man must strive. He must dig out of a fruitful soil those things which make for the betterment of his condition as a man—those things which are necessary in the make-up of a useful citizen. This is in accordance with the divine order, and unless man does it, he falls short not alone of what is divinely required of him, but also of the demands of the state and the nation. Those facts have been seized upon by George Francis Thomas of Hawkinsville, Pulaski county, Georgia, and the results are visible and potent. Possessed of a remarkable foresight and a keen business sagacity and a conservatism that placed him upon vantage ground among his neighbors, he has forged his way to the forefront in various undertakings. As a farmer, progressive and successful, he is known throughout the state. His credit is good in the community in which he lives because it is known that he has the wherewith to back it up. By carefulness and economy, he has raised himself in the estimate of his neighbors to that extent, that to attempt to challenge his honesty would be as unwise as to assail Glbaltar. His farm is a model one, with comfortable houses scattered here and there, which are always occupied by good tenants. His home house, in the midst, is spacious and modern, with outhouses, barns and the like for the storing of his produce and the housing of his live stock. His fields are not of the scantily attended variety, so noticeable in middle and southwest Georgia. But even the naked stalks of corn and cotton show that labor has been expended and an abundant yield, as a consequence, has been harvested. If you should visit his farm when the summer solstice tempers the air, when the fragrance from blooming fields and woods is waffted to you, the situation would appeal to you as a vritable Eden. Dark fields of waving corn to the right of you and to the left large fields of cotton, laden with pink and yellow blossoms, would break upon the ken. Walst deep in emerald bliss, harking to the mystic warblings of the woodland orchestra, with now and then a snatch o fa native ditty in the voice of the ploughmen, loud but harmonious, one realizes the pelasure there is "to be a farmer's boy." Mr. Thomas may not have taught schools, but he has wrought rules which are as necessary to an active, economic existence as the work of the teacher. He has demonstrated the fact that the farm is a blessing rather than a bane and that to be a "big man" does not necessitate the leaving of the farm to live in the city. Upon his farm, he has continually kept abreast of the times and improved every moment. He has, by his own effort, gained for himself a liberal education, through the medium of current literature, while, at the same time, giving his children a practical education. He is interesting in conversation upon any and all topics, a sound logician and a forceful debater. But his real power is his wonderful ability to force the greatest and most profitable yield from the smallest acreage. And herein may be found some of the rules he has wrought out. And here, also, may be discovered his intrinsic value to the community in which he lives. Alert to every modern means of facilitating and accelerating farm work, he has taught others, both by precept and example, that there is in labor real pleasure as well as profit. He condemns laziness and a, fellow possessed of the hook worm variety of it, finds his time limited upon the farm of Mr. Thomas. Not that drastic means are employed to force his exit, but that he is compelled to "hike" or be run over by other trained employees. Hence you see that push and not Thomas forces him "down and out." What Mr. Thomas has done all men may try to do, and though they may not succeed as he has, they will fall with the reputation of having tried. He will leave to real products of his labor a good example and a well-worked field and the fellow who follows in the trend of these will reap the reward. Mr. Thomas is a Christian gentleman and a Master Mason, a past chancellor of the K. of P. and a P. M. F. of the Odd Fellows. He is also a member of Court of Calanthe, the Household of Ruth and the Eastern Star. In his church and in the various secret orders to which he belongs; he is a prime factor—a power for the justice and equity of their management. "Unpracticed he to fawn and seek for power, By doctrines fashioned to the varying hour"— but, to the contrary, with no fear of punishment, nor hope of reward, his doctrine, clear and unequivocal in the defense of right. "There can be no middle ground in the consideration of the justice of a cause. A man's stand is either the right stand or the wrong one." This diction characterizes the life of Mr. Thomas and in field and on the forum or in fraternal discussions even amidst the fiercest forensic controversies he generally wins out. His life is one worthy of emulation and the entire Negro race would benefit if it should carefully study the life and character of this successful farmer, gentleman and Christian. Among the Masons. DUE DELIBERATION. Nothing is more inconsistent with the conservative character of the Masonic institution than hasty action, particularly, in the matter, of the reception of new members. Haste in such cases is not only undignified, but dangerous, since the occasional mistakes which are almost Inseparable from precipitate action can only be rectified with difficulty and never without damage. The principles which govern our universal institution are the same the world over, and so we are not surprised to read in the address of the Grand Master of New Zealand, at the Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge in that faraway land held last May, the familiar reference to "quality not quantity," which flows so glibly from the lips of our Worshipful Masters when they welcome the District Deputy, assuring him that they are doing things just right, exercising every caution and still growing like a house afire. The antipodal Grand Master was evidently sincere in his darning to the brethren that rapid growth is not safe rule for measuring prosperity. "A lodge of forty carefully chosen brethren is far better than one of one hundred and forty, in which forty turn out to be of little credit to our order," he said.—Masonic Standard. Amid financial turmoil and financial stress, Masonry pursues the even tenor of its way, fulfilling its grand mission of uplifting humanity. Grand Master Strickler, of West Virginia, expressed an unusual view of the purposes of the Grand Lodge communication when he said, in his annual address: "Brethren, we have assembled here to correct the errors and irregularities of the grand officers of this Grand Lodge and subordinate lodges in this grand jurisdiction during the past year, and lay our plans for the future." In the opinion of the average Grand Master, the Grand Lodge meets to ratify his acts.—Florida Masonite Journal. It is often sand that business and Masonry should never be mixed. It is our vew of Masonry that business and pleasure, and every part and incident of life should be mixed with Masonry, for Masonry should never be lost sight of in whatever we do or think of, the principles of the order being eminently applicable to every phase and condition of life.—Texas Freemason. The fact that one occupies a Masonic office well up the line in grade is no proof of merit. The end of the term will determine whether the trust has been carefully conserved or otherwise.—Canadian Craftsman. As soon as quarrels and bickerings dominate a lodge, our boasted Masonic harmony and brotherly love become a farce; disgrace and reproach are brought upon our sacred cause; and, reversing the beautiful language of our ritual, those are kept at a perpetual distance, whom true friendship would have otherwise united.—Fletcher S. Turrell, Grand Master, Michigan. THE WAY TO DO IT. The only way to build up a Masonic lodge is to make it so attractive on the inside that those on the outside will want to come in. Every newly elected Master will be imbued with the desire that his year shall be a successful one with enough work to keep the officers and members busy. He knows full well that he can not proselyte for candidates, but must wait for men to come of their own free will and accord. But if the Master will give his time and attention to his lodge and will be careful of the many little details which, go to make a successful lodge he will at once create an interest and enthusiasm among the members and officers which will become contagious and will spread outside the lodge. Whenever the public realizes that any society or body is active and is accomplishing some good in the world, there will always be found men who wish to affiliate with work of this class. This is the principle on which Masonry Works, and at the beginning of his year of service every Master should make a start in the right direction and strive to make his lodge attractive and interesting—The Illinois Freemason. EASTERN STAR POINTS. The Essence of Masonry. Springing from Masonry, its principles founded upon the same divine truths, the Order of the Eastern Star has still been termed the "Flower of Masonry;" not an offshoot, a branch, or even a clinging vine, but the very essence of Masonry, the bloom itself. True, its first unfolded petals were of fragile, delicate fiber; it had a struggle for existence; it had been planted in the hard and darkened soil of prejudice, and the forcing process required both skill and practice. But there were brave hearts, strong and determined natures, guarding it with zealous care, tenderly nourishing its every tiny bud, till now it bursts forth in all the richness and beauty of a full and perfect blossom, its texture of the finest, its color the surest, its fragrance sublime. What Mason once opining his heart to receive this blossom, once inhaling its perfume, would seek to uproot it? The answer some back with strong and reverberating echo. Not one! To a tried and trusted few do we owe this debt of gratitude, that today we have an order os elevating, so ennobling in its aims and purposes that Masons throughout the land are proud to pay its homage and among fraternal bodies it shines among heavenly orbs, while its divines influence permeates the heart of every member.—Clafra E. Elridge, Mich. A Permanent Thing. "You have stated," said the badgering lawyer to a witness, "that you were born in 1886. Now you say you were born in 1887. An incriminating discrepancy, though, perhaps, you may be able to 'explain it.' "Certainly I can 'explain it" retorted "the witness. 'There's no 'incongruity' therg. I was,born in 1886, albeit just stayed born. Why, I'm born yet." Fellows B b b b in His Bonnet.
