VOL. XXV. SOUTHERN LAND IDLE Less Than One-Fourth of South's Acreage Being Tilled. THE COMMERCIAL CONGRESS Startling Figures on Our Own Country Will Be Presented to Southern Commercial Congress. Washington, D. C.—In view of the present and increasing depression in the rural and Lancashire districts of the British Isles, conditions which have been investigated by a royal commission and reported upon with genuine alarm a paper will be read and discussed at the Southern Commercial Congress, December 6 and 7, on "Opportunity for Southern Propaganda in the British Isles." The paper will be prepared by Thomas L. Field of London, a Virginian by birth, resident in England in connection with varied shipping interests. Additional subjects to be considered during the congress: "Neglected Agricultural Opportunities in the South," "Manufacturing Opportunities in the South," and "Colonization Opportunities in the South." will all have a relation to the one great subject of attracting to the south elements of population that will strengthen rather than tear down the civilization of which the south is justly proud. The committee on arrangements, at the headquarters of the congress in Washington, is already in receipt of letters from owners of large plantations and real estate men relative to lands that could be grouped for colonization purposes, and it is hoped that a safe working plan will be evolved from the proceedings of the congress.

REWARD FOR BRAVERY. Mán Given an Orange Grove for Savi- ving Boy's Life. New York City.—Benjamin Levin of 4946 Michigan avenue, Chicago, has given an orange grove in Florida as a reward to Private Charles J. Morris of the United States signal corps, stationed on Bedloe's island, for having saved Mr. Levin's 10-year-old son, Robert, from drowning. Mr. Levin and his son went to the island to see the Statue of Liberty, and while there the lad fell overboard, and the soldier, through an act of remarkable herolism, drew him from the water. When Mr. Levin found it was impossible to obtain the soldier's promotion, he offered him his choice between a life position in Chicago at $150 a month of an eighty-acre orange grove, and a house and implements for conducting it. Morris accepted the orange grove, and Mr. Levin gave him sufficient cash to buy his discharge from the army and pay the expenses of himself and his wife to Florida. NEW POSTAL CARDS. New Small Card To Be Made for Social Correspondence. Washington, D. C.—Designs for the new postal cards to be issued by the government have been approved by Postmaster General Hittie. On the ordinary card the head of the late President McKinley will appear, as now, but a much better likeness of the martyred president has been selected. On the new small card, intended for index purposes, a likeness of President Lincoln will appear. The 2-cent international card will bear a portrait of General Grant. On one half of the double, or reply postal cards, will appear a portrait of George Washington; and on the other a likeness of Martha Washington. The paper to be used will "take ink" better than the paper now employed. KENTUCKY VOTES FOR GOOD ROADS. Amendment to the State Constitution Carries. Frankfort, Ky.-The election commission announced that the good roads amendment to the state constitution had carried by a majority of 5,000, almost exactly the majority given it in the city of Louisville. It had previously been published that the amendment, which provides a tax levy, had been defeated, the general understanding being that two-thirds of the total vote cast in the state was required to carry it. The rural counties, which were the most affected, cast practically an equal number of votes for and against the amendment. The Savannah Tribune. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1909. DENOUNCE YELLOW JOURNALISM. Henry Watterson Says Papers Are Invading Private Rights. Washington, D. C. — Deprecating the tendency of the newspaper profession of today toward sensationalism, Henry Watterson, the venerable editor of the Loulaville Courrier-Journal, addressed the members of National Press clubs in this city at a reception given in his honor. His topic was the personal relation of the newspaper toward the public. Mr. Watterson is on his way home, after an extensive European trip. “Pretending to be the especial defenders of liberty, we are becoming the invaders of private right,” continued Colonel Watterson. “No household seems any longer safe against our intrusions. Our reporters are being turned into detectives. As surely as this is not checked, we shall grow to be the objects of fear and hatred instead of trust and respect. “Someone ought to organize an intelligent and definite movement toward the bettering of what has reached alarming proportions. "I say this in your interest, as well as the interest of the public and the profession, for I am sure that you are gentlemen and want to be considered so, whereas the work you are often sent to do is the reverse of gentle manly. It subjects you to aversion and contempt-brings you and a high and mighty calling into disrepute—by confusing the purpose and functions of the newspaper with those of the policeman and scavenger. I have been proud of that calling all my life and when I go to my account I want to see a clean and honored flag flying from the masthead." LUMBER OUTPUT FOR 1900. Yellow Pine of the South Amounts to Third of Total Cut. Washington, D. C. — Washington, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Wisconsin, in the order named, constitute the big five in producing the country's lumber supply, whose valuation, for the last year runs far above the half-million-dollar mark. Yellow pine of the south, which has been far in the lead in the lumber production for more than a decade, more than maintained its supremacy last year, contributing slightly more than 33 per cent of the total cut from all kinds. Louisiana was the heaviest producer of yellow pine lumber. Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama followed in the order named. Oak lumber manufacture now centers in Kentucky, West Virginia and Tennessee. HOPONITIZED THROUGH TELEPHONE Hypnotist Makes Successful Test Over Long Distance Telephone, Pittsburgh Pepsi few days ago a hypnotist named Duncan announced that he would telephone a callernamed Morgantown, W. Va., into subjectin Rochester, Pa. The test was made and it has been declared successful. The telephone company sent men to investigate and they say the hypnotist made good. The subject at Rochester was taken into a store window in which there was a telephone and the 'professor' got busy at Morgantown. In a short time, the subject became drowsy and then fell asleep. Later the hypnotist awakened him by talking over 'phone from Morgantown. MURDERER HELPS MOTHER. Admits Double Killing So Mother May Get Reward. Galion, Ohio.—That, as he said, his mother might get the reward, Edward Bachman, under indictment for burglary in five counts by the grand jury here, has confessed that he was guilty of a double murder, committed in Gulfport, Miss, in October, 1908, during a celebration there. He shot and killed Policeman Lee Varnada and a bystander who had been deputized by the officer to arrest Bachman, he said. Chief Woldman communicated with the authorities at Gulfport and ascertained that the murders confessed by Bachman had been committed. Newsy Paragraphs. Broughton Brandenburg, the writer who was fined $50 for abducting James Shepherd Cadanne III, was denied a new trial by Judge Grimm in St. Louis. He received permission to appeal to the supreme court, and was released on $1,000 bond. The Manchester, England, -federation has recommended that the time cottallment now in force in the cotton mills be continued until the end of February. Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson, who has been living in seclusion since her excommunication recently by the mother church of the Christian Scientists in Boston, announced that she has resigned from the membership of the First - Church - of Christ, Scientist, New York, of which she was formerly first reader. A letter from Chief Forester Gilford H. Pinchot was read at the National Farm congress in Chicago, M. Pinchot said that upon the development of the country's farm lands depends the vitally important increase in the food supply, and also the increase in the proportion of the population which lives on the farms. A bill was introduced in the Cuban senate for the establishment of a national currency on the gold basis, and similar to that of the United States. The gold coins are to be of five, ten and twenty-dollar pieces and the subsidiary coins of silver, nickel and copper. The amount of coin issued is to be determined by a currency commission to be appointed by the government. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. DIED FOR WANT OF AIR Diary Was Written By Young Man and Pathotically Describes Battle Against Deadly Black Damp. Cherry, ill.—Hope that there might still be alive some of the 183 men known to be entombed in the St. Paul coal mine has been abandoned. An exploration into what is known as the second vein, where it was thought probable miners had barricaded themselves and managed to exist on oats and corn kept there for mules, showed that great portions of the tunnel had collapsed. It is thought that many men were buried under the debris and that if the obstruction is not soon cleared away at least 100 bodies may never be recovered. Fire is still raging in these tunnels, and those portions of the mine in which imprisoned miners might have found a retreat, are said to be full of the fatal black damp. Kept Tab on Approach of Death. A diary was found on the clothing taken from one of the thirty-eight bodies found in a pocket of the mine. The diary was begun on November 13, and was written by Samuel D. Howard, 21 years old. It describes the slow death of the men by the encoaching black damp, and refers early to Samuel's efforts to save his brother, Alfred; 16 years old, who died by his side. The diary follows: "Alive at 10:30 O'clock yet. At 10:45; 11 a.m. By Sam D. Howard. Brother I am with me yet. A good many dead mules and men. I to save some, but came almost losing myself. I, am dead. Give my diamond ring to Manile Robinson. The ring is coming at the postmortem. Henry can have the ring I have in my good clothes. The only thing I regret is that my brother could not help my mother out after I am dead and gone. "I tried my best to get out, but could not. I saw Jim Jameson and Steven Timke lying along the road, and could not stand it any longer. It is five minutes past 11 o'clock, and the air is fine, but sometimes it is so bad it almost puts a fellow to sleep. It is something fierce to see men and mules lying down all over like that. Trying to Keep From Thinking. "To keep me from thinking, I thought I would write these few lines. There is rock falling all over. We have our buckets full of water, water, water and we drink it. We have our heads with it. 7 to 12 o'clock; after 1 o'clock, 2 to 3 o'clock; and poor air lock, lock, lock, damp, 4:15 o'clock, change of place." No, men tried to get off, and could-not get back, 7:50 o'clock, tired, hungry and sleepy, but I could stand quite a bit of this if I could get out of this hole. "7:50 o'clock in the morning. This is Sunday. There is no air. We fanned ourselves with the lids of our buckets. 25 after 9* and black damp coming both ways. 25 after 10. We gave up all hope. We have done all we could. The fan had better start above soon. 25 after 10 a. m. Sunday. We are still alive. The only hope is the fan. "I think I won't have strength to write pretty soon. "15 after 12 p. m. Sunday. If they can't get us air we will make fans ourselves. We take our turn at the fans. We have three of them going. "Dying for the Want of Air. "27 to 3 p. m. and the black damp is coming in on us. Only for the fans we would be dead. "11 to 4 p. m. dying for the want of air. We have six fans moving. One fan after another 15 feet apart. "25 after 10 p. m. Sunday evening. We all had to come back. We can't move front or backwards. We can stand it with our fans until Monday morning. "15 after 2 a. m. Monday morning. Am still late. We are cold, hungry, weak, sick and everything else. Alfred Howard is still alive. 9:15 a. m. Monday morning, still breathing. Something better turn up or we will soon be gone. 11:15 a. m. still alive at this time. 16 to 1 p. m. Monday. The lives are going out. I think this is our last. We are getting weak. Alfred Howard, as well as the rest, are now were evident all killed by black damp forty-eight hours after the fire broke out in the mine. The death of one of the survivors brought to the surface last Saturday reduced to nineteen the total number of those saved out of the $10 entombed by the fire a week ago Saturday. CONGRESSMAN BURNED TO DEATH. David DeArmond Reished With Hla Grandson in Flames. Kansas City, Mo.—It was in a vain effort to save the life of his little grandson that Congressman David A. DeArmond of the sixth Missouri district perished in a fire that destroyed his home in Butler, Mo. The heroism of the congressman was made known when, with his arms locked around the blackened and burned body of the little boy, the congressman's body was found. He had caught up the lad and rushed with him through the flames. The congressman fell with his unconscious burden and both sank through the floor to death. U. S. IS NOW READY. Action Against Nicaragua Is Delayed Awaiting Definite Information. Washington, D. C. The delay on the part of the United States in taking any action with respect to the killing order of President Zelaya of Nicaragua, of the two Americans, Groce and Cain, of the development is ceasped-by the inability of the government, up to this time, to fix the exact status in Nicaragua of the slain men. It was explained that every effort was being made, through government agencies, to determine whether those men were, in fact, members of mental agencies, to determine whether they were acting on their own responsi- bility at the time they were captured. If it can be proven, as seems very doubtful, that they were really responsible for the planting of the mines for the purpose of blowing up troops ships of the Nicaraguan government, and were acting in this matter on their own responsibility, their status would be very different from what it would be were they acting as a part of the revolutionary forces. Plans for the concentration of warships and marines on the Nicaraguan coast will continue, and it may be that this show of force will have a marked effect in stimulating the energies and hopes of the revolutionists and result in large accessions to their army from the disaffected portions of the country now held by Zelaya's army. The navy department is in a condition of preparedness for any eventuality: Overtime work has resulted in putting the troopship Prairie, now at the Philadelphia navy yard, in a condition to call at any moment with 400 marines who are immediately available for transportation to Nicaragua. Although the naval officials disclaim any knowledge of what the state department is doing in a diplomatic way in connection with the military situation, they note that they are hourly in expectation of receiving orders to direct the Prairie to sail and they would not be in the least surprised if other warships were ordered to the Nicaraguan coast. TWO RELIGIOUS MEN. Preacher Says One is Dead and One is on the Bowery. New York City—The pastor of the well-to-do College Baptist church of the Covenant astonished his comfortable congregation by a declaration as to what rich men should do. "The intellectual gymnastics," said the Rev. Dr. Haywood, "of the average New York preacher when confronted with the text. "It is easier for a camel) to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven are pliitable." "I am perhaps the largest property holder here, but I deny the right of an app man to exploit the land while there are hungry stomachs to fill. I let my property to tenants for quite as little as will pay taxes and pay the expenses of one girl who I am putting through college. "I have known but two religious rich men in my life. One is dead, and the other is on the bowery. He has given millions to the poor, and he lives the life of a day laborer. This is stamped on the face of J. Eads How, some time called the Millionaire Hobo, more worldly wisdom, more saintliness, than any other face I ever saw." LAND OFFGE SHAKE UP. Sensation is Predicted That Will Astonish Whole Country. Washington, D. C.—A shake-up in the administration of the general land office and prosecutions for land frauds in the west that will create a sensation throughout the entire country is predicted by close friends of the administration as the ultimate result of the so-called Ballinger-Pinchot controversy. The recent appointment of Francis J. Henay, the graft prosecutor, to his old post in charge of the land cases in Oregon is said to be but the beginning of the upheaval promised in the general land office. If Attorney General Wickersham finds that Secretary Ballinger, in connection with the Cunningham coal land claims while he was out of the government service, had interfered with his administration of the interior department, the secretary will either be asked to resign or be transferred to another department of the government. - Bengar Had $700. LaCrosse, Wia.-Taken to police headquarters because he had begged for a meal at the back door of a restaurant, a well-dressed stranger giving the name of Albert Young, which the police believe is an alias, was found to have $700 in bills in an inside pocket when searched. New Trial for Horse. New York City—Charles W. Morse, federal prisoner in the Tombs, awaiting the outcome of a legal fight to avoid the fifteen-year sentence imposed upon him as the result of his conspiracy to defraud the national banking, laws, had, cause for Thanksgiving in that he won a preliminary move, for a new trial. Supposed Dead Child Lives. Gadsden, Alz. — The 10-year-old daughter of J. S. Duncan, of Leesburg, came to life after being declared dead and after all the arrangements for her funeral had been made. She is suffering from intestinal consumption. PANAMA CANAL REPORT PROGRESS IS SATISFACTORY Annual Report of Commission Goes Into Details Regarding Progress of the Work on Isthmus. Washington, D. C. — Satisfactory progress in the construction of the Panama canal is shown in the annual report of the Isthmian canal commission for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909, just made public by the secretary of war. The report deals with the organization of the work, construction and engineering problems which were solved, the civil government of the canal zone, the "sanitary conditions, which were greatly improved, and the estimated cost of the canal. The total cost of the canal is placed at $755-201,000. The report says in part: "During the year the designs for the upper lakes at Gatun and the locks at Pedro Miguel were finished. The locks in pairs, separated by a wall 60 feet thick, are 110 feet in width with 1,000 feet usable lengths. "The work of excavating the Gatun locks was continued during the year by steam shovels throughout the forebay and the greater part of the lock chambers, and by one of the 20-inch suction dredges in the lower part of the lowest dock. Excavation was in progress at the close of the year trenching for the curtain walls. The material excavated in the chambers amounted to 69,950 yards, and that reached in the wet amounted to 479,950 cubic yards. The plant for the construction of the lock is practically installed and ready for operation. The report says of the health conditions; "The health conditions on the isthmus are reported by the chief sanitary officer as showing an improvement over the preceding year. The total number of admissions of employees to hospitals and sick camps, including those sick in quarters, amounted to 46,194, representing for the year 23.49 as the number of men sick daily out of every thousand names on the pay rolls, as against 23.55 for the preceding year. The number of deaths was 530." Regarding the cost of the canal the report says: "Nearly 50 per cent more work is necessary in order to complete the canal than was contemplated by the original estimate, and that the unit prices, due to labor conditions, cost of materials and gratitudes given the employees, have been increased about 20 per cent. The total cost of engineering and construction alone sums up to $297,765,000; to which, if the purchase price and the estimated cost of construction and civil government be added, there results the sum of $775,201,000 as the total cost of the canal." RED CROSS STAMPS. Forty Million Dollar To Be Used On Christmas Mall. Washington, D. C.-While .Uclem Sam struggles under the load of Christmas packages in the malts this year, there will be forty million Red Cross stamps circulating on the mail matter carrying the practical message of peace and good-will to the four corners of the earth. The demand for Red Cross stamps, always heavy at the Yuletide, gives promise of exceeding all records this year, and the Red Cross society is preparing to meet the demand by increasing its supply of stamps from thirty million to forty million. These forty million stickers will be sold for the benefit of the Red Cross tuberculosis camps exclusively this year. From the middle west particularly comes an increase in the demand, and in this the directors of the society feel a new interest in the work suddenly aroused by the mine disaster at Cherry Ill. Relief supplies of all kinds for the stricken people at Cherry are being sent from all parts of the country to that place in care of Ernest P. Bickel of the Red Cross, who is at Cherry in personal charge of the relief work BOLL WEEVIL KILLS CATTLE Mysterious Malady Causing Trouble in Louisiana. Breaux Bridge, La.-A mysterious malady, which has caused the death of considerable cattle in this section recently, has been traced to the Mexican boll weevil. It was in fields most greatly infested with this pest that the cattle were stricken, and in the absence of other plausible theories the supposition that their eating of the weevils on vegetation was responsible for their death is entertained. "TY" COBB FINED. The Detroit Ball Player Didn't Have Money to Pay His Fine. Cleveland, Ohio—Ty Cobb, outfielder on the Detroit baseball team, was fined $100 and costs for assaulting George Stanfield, a night watchman, in a hotel on the occasion of the Detroit team's last visit to Cleveland. Cobb said he did not have that much money, and the execution of judgment was continued to give the ballplayer an opportunity to obtain funds. Cobb was indicted on the charge of cutting with intent to wound, but was allowed to plead guilty to assault and battery. This did away with the necessity of a trial. LATE NEWS NOTES. General. In honor of "Brother Peary" the Delta Kapp Epsilon has planned one of the largest fraternity dinners ever held, for December 18. In New York city, Commander Peary is a member of Theta chapter, at Bowdoin college. It is estimated that fifteen hundred "dekes" will attend. Representatives of the Snake Indian tribe attending the Chickasha legislature at Tishomingo, Okla., are making a hard fight to induce the other Indians to refuse to recognize the United States government and all treaties that the government has made with the Indians. The Snakes, who have always opposed the white man's government, desire to resume the Indian customs and govern themselves. It is believed that Governor Johnson of the Chickashas and the white and mixed members of the legislature will have a majority in opposing the movement. Director Lowell of the observatory at Flagship, Ariz., reports the first apparent Anarctic snow fall of the season on Mars. Two patches appeared at the altitude of 62.72; jongitude 100.19. The first was on November 12 and was small. The second patch was observed November 16. A woman who assisted at her husband's sulcule is probably unique. She is Madame Marquet of Paris, France, and it is reported that when her husband hanged himself and did not die at once, she clung to his feet and hung on until strangulation was achieved. Marquet, who was middle aged, while his wife was quite young, had told his wife that he intended to commit suicide, and she apparently welcomed the suggestion for reasons of her own. Working on the theory that easiness is due to an irritation of the cerebral nerves, a German scientist has invented a cap, which, applied to the sufferer's head, compresses the arteries which supply the nerves, and cures the trouble with weak electrical currents. Speaking at a dinner of the Society of the Mayflower Descendants in Boston, Mass., ex-Governor Curtis Guild, Jr., himself a member of the society, said: "The pilgrims were immigrants no less than are the Italians of today, and it is to our shame that it is the descendants of those early immigrants who stay away from party primary or caucus and attend a bridge game, while the new immigrant fulfills the duty of citizen and voles for the officers of his state and country." Washington. The postmaster general department has issued a fraud order against the Erle Manufacturing company, 5645 West Lake street, Chicago. Under this name E. F. Hansell, it is charged, has been engaged in a scheme for obtaining money through the mails by disposing of a line of cheap jewelry. The story is revived that Secretary Wilson of the Agricultural department is soon, to retire. He has completed a longer term as cabinet minister than any other cabinet officer in the history of the government. Last spring the story was first given currency that the friend of farmers, as he is called, was soon to retire from President Taft's cabinet, but Secretary Wilson lost no time in denying the report, which has at intervals appeared since in the newspapers. The first results of the magnetic survey of the Atlantic ocean now being made by the Carnegie institute of Washington on the non-magnetic yacht Carnegie, which will be of invaluable assistance to navigation, have been registered in the institute's department of terrestrial magnetism. These first results prove that when a complete survey has been made the masters of trans-Atlantic liners will tell us some time off their schedules by following the彼彼 charts of the magnetic survey. By going so, they will escape the fifteh changes of the compass, and their regular variations of the earth's magnetism which have been hitherto unrecorded. The positive announcement that General James S. Clarkson, surveyor of the port of New York, would not be re-appointed to that office was made by Secretary MacVeagh. On the first day of his official career, Secretary McVeagh met Timothy Woodruff, former lieutenant governor of New York, who demanded General Clarkson's official scalp. The trouble is said to have its origin in the desire of the upper New York state, republican politicians for the patronage. As a result of an investigation of imperfect boiler tubes on the battleship West Virginia, the navy department has decided to order the dismissal from the federal service of Edward Kavanaugh, master boilermaker of the Mare Island navy yard, at San Francisco, and his acting-assistant, Joseph Coletti. This investigation is said to have shown that those men were inefficient. Representative Bennett' of New York recently made the assertion that "graft" exists in the administration of affairs in connection with the construction of the Panama canal. Secretary of War Dickinson has prepared an answer to this accusation, a copy of which he sent to Representative Bennett. The secretary said that he will give Mr. Bennett sufficient time in which to make this statement public, but if he does not do so, then the secretary will give it to the press here. Mrs. Sophia Litchenfold, who okes out a living by taking in washings, contributed $60 at the annual convention of the Christian Missionary alliance, which was held at Gospel tabernacle in New Work recently. Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society BOL. C. JOHNSON, Supt. of Agemo Treasury of State of Georgia being 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 22d, 1887, and amended December 20th, 1897. ATLANTA GETS MEETING Agricultural Commissioners Will Meet in Georgia. PURE FOOD LAW EFFECTIVE Previous to Enactment of Pure Food Law Georgia Was Dumping Ground for Impure Food. Atlanta, Ga.—Commissioner of Agriculture T. G. Hudson, accompanied by State Chemist R. E. Stallings, have returned from Jackson, Miss., where they have been in attendance upon the annual meeting of the Commissioners of Agriculture of the Southern States, which unanimously voted to hold the 1910-meeting in Atlanta. Commissioner Hudson, as host, will begin preparations right away for the entertainment of this distinguished body and will endeavor to make it the most successful meeting in the history of the organization. According to Commissioner Hudson these commissioners reported the interest in agriculture more acute now than ever in the history of the south, and that the most brilliant future to coming years on the farm was held out. Commissioner Hudson made the convention a talk, as did State Chemist R. E. Stallings. Dr. Stallings is a recognized authority on the subject of Pure Food Legislation, and his remarks on this subject were attended with the keenest interest. He told them how, previous to the enactment and enforcement of the Georgia Pure Food Law, this state was the dumping ground for all sorts and conditions of feed stuffs, but since the law went into operation there was no state in the south so free from adulterated feeds and foods as this. As a result of this law, the sale and feeding of cotton seed meal to working stock and dairy herds has rapidly increased with most satisfactory results. SCHOOL FEES ILLEGAL No Charge of Any Kind Can Be Made in Common Schools. Atlanta, Ga.—That a fee of any kind cannot be charged legally in the common schools of the state was set forth fully in a decision of the supreme court. The case involving this important point was raised in Montgomery county when fourteen children were excluded from the Mount Vernon and Alley school districts in that county because their parents refused to pay a matriculation fee of $2.50, charged in the schools in those districts. Shannon and others, parents of the excluded children, brought mandamus proceedings against the boards of trustees of the two districts to compel them to admit the children. It was contended that the parents were all residents and fax payers of the districts, and that as the schools were maintained out of the common school funds they had no legal right to exclude the children. Judge Martin issued the mandamus and the supreme court sustained him. It was held a charge for matriculation or any other fee could not be legally imposed as a condition of entrance to the school. PARDONS GRANTED. Prison Commission Grant Few Paroles and Commutations. Atlanta, Ga.—During the past week the prison commission passed en a large number of applications for clemency. Paroles were granted three and commutation to present service to five others. Fifty-one petitions were declined. Paroles were recommended and approved by the governor in the following cases: Charles Swanson, Campbell county, voluntary manslaughter; Jssse Clark, Philip Jemison, Musocgee. Commutations were granted in the following cases; Robert Sheppard, Floyd county, murder; Will Trumpler, Richmond county, misdemeanor; Peter Williams, Fulton county, gaming; Clifford West, Muscogee, misdemean cr; Charlie Hamilton, Fulton county, burglary. 17 BALES ON 12 ATHES. Terrell County Farmer Makes Record of the Year. Dawson, Ga.-The recent corn contest here demonstrated the fact that Terrell county farmers could successfully raise this important cereal in this section, and the experience of C. C. Lunday, one of the progressive and successful farmers in the southeastern portion of this county, in growing cotton this year proves conclusively that Terrell county deserves the reputation which it has as the banner county in Georgia for producing the fleecy staple. From 12 acres of land Mr. Lunday has already picked and ginned seventeen bales of cotton, averaging 500 pounds, and he expects to gather several more bales from this field this season. POPE BROWN NOT A CANDITATE. State Treasurer Says He Will Not Run for Governor. Atlanta, Ga. — State Treasurer J. Pope Brown set at rest the rumor which has placed him among prospective candidates for governor. "There is absolutely nothing in it." Mr. Brown said; "It is always the case where a man commits a crime once that people are inclined to suspect him of the same thing again." Mr. Brown had reference to his candidacy for governor in 1906. 22,000 BALES RECEIVED. Dawnsn, Ga.—Local warehouses have received by wagon during the present season 22,000 bales of cotton, and will probably receive a few thousand more before the end of the year. While these receipts are somewhat less than in previous years, yet they demonstrate the fact that a good deal of cotton has been produced in this section, for there are warehouses in three other towns in the county. P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President. THROUGHOUT GEORGIA. The state prison commission has requested A. C. Bruce of Atlanta to prepare plans for the new reformatory with the present structures on the state's property near Milledgeville. The building will be two stories in height and 40 by 60 feet in dimensions. It will be used as a Negro building, while the present buildings will be used for the white inmaes. For the first time since the Georgia militia has been in the national guard, the men have been awarded service shirts, which heretofore they have had to furnish themselves. Adjutant General A. J. Scott has notified the various regimental commanders of the arrival of the supply of gray woolen shirts, sufficient for two to each man. The shirts are gray and made of wool and will be worn with the service uniform. They are furnished to the state by the United States government as a part of the regular equipment Dr. S. Y. Jameson of Mercer university was elected president of the Georgia State Baptist convention in session at Dublin. Ex-Governor Northern declined re-election Baptist ministers and delegates from all sections of Georgia were present. Dublin had well prepared to entertain the visitors and as they arrived were assigned to homes in the different parts of the city. W. M. Sanders, a Thomas county farmer, won the first prize of $100 in gold for the best yield of corn on a measured acre of ground. His yield was a fraction less than one hundred and ten bushels. A Worth county boy, J. L. Jenkins, son of a farmer, won the prize of $100 in gold for the best yield in the juvenile class. He cultivated his own acre and made seventy-nine and a half bushels. H. T. Bridges, a Terrell county farmer, made one hundred and five and a half bushels on one acre; T. F. Ford, of Lee county, made one hundred and two bushels, and G. F. Smith of Terrell county, made ninety-nine bushels. Ford and Smith won second and third prizes, respectively. All the other contestants presented avidavits of surprisingly large yields. The boys winning second and third prizes were M. J. Kidd of Baker, and R. H. Summer of Early. The above were the results of the Albany Herald's cornrowing contest. Chairman Howell B. Erminger, Jr., of the starting committee which arranged the Constitution's Macon, Atlanta good roads, endurance contest, in which a large number of cars reached Atlanta on November 9, has made announcement of the prize awards. The prizes consisted of $300 divided into first and second prizes of $65 and $35 in each of three classes of cars entered for the contest. The committee purposely waited until its return home so that it could go carefully over the records in each case: First, class A.H. J. Lamar, Jr., Macon, $65; second, Class A, W. J. Masssee, Macon, $35; first, Class B, F. N. Winder, Forsyth, $65; second, class B, Willingham-Wheeler Auto company Macon, $35; first, Class C. Lewis Hale, Sandersville, $65; second, Class C, Guy Ward, Atlanta, $35. 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 prompt Agents Libera Sixty-one per cent of the children attending the pubils schools of Atlanta are physically defective, according to a report of Dr. Stewart R. Roberts, who is in charge of the physical examination of the pupils of these schools. According to the report, a total of 2,375 children have been examined. Of these 923 or 39 per cent were normal, while 1,452, or 61 per cent, were found to be defective. Of these defects, diseases of the teeth, eyes, tonsils and glands predominate, as follows: Teeth, 687., or 29 per cent; eyes, 527., or 22 per cent; tonsils, 351; glands, 271. The other defects found are as follows: Nutrition; 20; anemia, 66; heart disease, 21; adenoids, 401; ears, 16; lungs, 12; bone defects, 5. Strange to say, none was found afflicted with the hookworm, which has been so widely advertised. Special stress is laid by Dr. Roberts upon the fact that 60 per cent or more of the children do not use tooth brushes. The officials and the directors of the state fair are to give their attention immediately to a very material enlargement of the floor space in the exhibits buildings at Central City park in Macon. Plans will be taken up immediately for the state fair next year. Every possible means of affording floor space will be utilized this time. The fair was a success this year, and the financial balance in the terasury leaves the association able to finance other undertakings. The Burdette-Loomis syndicate has been granted the franchise for the electric, gas and street railway privileges of Waycross. This franchise requires the construction work to commence within the next ninety days and a cash forfeit bond of $10,000 binds the new company to complete the work as soon as possible A change in the burial laws of the city of Macon has been proposed to the new city administration by the undertakers. At present the undertaker is required to have a burial certificate showing the cause of death before a body can be interred, and the complaint is that many times the physician attending cannot be reached. The effort will be made to get the responsibility shifted so that the physicians will be required to register deaths with the city showing the cause of deaths, and relieve the undertaker of this. Fifteen hundred dollars found in Houston, and J. F. Monk of Colquitt an old featherbed which was all that was left her by a former husband when he was killed in a railroad accident, brought joy to the heart of Mrs. Mary, Goodman of Atlanta. After stuffing the money into a pocketbook, Mrs. Goodman rushed to a store and the first thing she bought was a $35 hat. According to Mrs. Goodman her life has not been a bed of roses and before she found the money in the featherbed all she had in the world did not amount to $20. She has been twice married and is now suing for a divorce. Mrs. Goodman declares the next thing she will buy is "a 'tallor-made suit.'" People who live in a flat seldom hear flattering things about themselves. WALTER S. SCOTT, Secretary and Tr cas. 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 sald 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 resend 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- Deeds, Contracts, Wills and Other Legal Forms Prepared and Attested. 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 fail 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 $100 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, Yours for success, J. A. KIRKLAND, Rec. Sec. M. B. C. of Georgia. $127,011 GIFT FOR MISSIONS: Baptist' Convention at Dublin Hears Good Report. Dublin, Ga.—The Baptist State Convention adjourned to meet in Elberton next year. The report of Dr. Willingham, corresponding secretary of the foreign mission board, was read. The funds amounted to $460,797, of which Georgia contributed $69,514. He asked $80,000 from Georgia for the next year. He said that 2,905 persons were converted last year and that there is a foreign membership of 16,596.

This joyousness was her heritage; her fresh, youthful spirits had always rebounded from sorrow, seeking brightness and light. Perhaps this happiness was a little careless, yet it was so beautiful, so rare a thing that one smiled with a gentle tolerance at her inconsequence. She was so exquisitely lovely, and so obviously headless of it, that she was instantly accorded the privilege of allowing her beauty to most potently replace her usefulness. She lived only to radiate life and joyousness, while the worshippers who gathered about her were only those who could reflect it back with their own added zest, for the hearts that were heavy, with pain shrank away, as from too brilliant a blow. She laughed as she shook the glisten- ing hair-drops from her hair, then turned with her face sparkling and yldled to smile at Duane. "Have you been waiting long?" she asked. He did not reply; the first flash of her beauty usually rendered him impatient. She bent to force the fire into a brighter glow, then shrugged impatiently at the increased moodiness of his face. You forgot that I was coming tonight? he asked at length. Her face grew grave for an instant and then broke into little teasing lines. But I remembered—at last—you see. He had grown pale. "You did forget, then, and yet you knew why I was coming?" She smiled dazzlingly into his eyes. "I'm here now," she reminded him lightly. He did not respond to her mood; his brow drew, together as he faced her. "You're 28, Laura," he said, abruptly. She started. "Am I? It hardly seems so, Glen." "I wonder if you ever intend to marry?" "I wonder if I do?" she returned, missingly. Her eyes were studying the leaping flames; then suddenly she faced him with a tinge of defiance. "Why should I?" she flashed out. "My life is full to overflowing. The days are not long enough to enjoy all that comes. I am so happy, Glen, and free." "But you are—alone," he reminded her gently. She looked at him wonderingly. "Why, I have the whole world," she retorted. "Yes, the world is kind to those who are—young." There was a disproportionate bitterness in the tone, for he, too, was young, yet he seemed many years older than she. The light and joyousness had crept from her face. "I have never loved anyone—very much," she said, "yet I have loved the world so well. But, if you wish, there is one thing I can say. I think that some day I shall marry—perhaps you, Glen, but not for a long, long time." He felt the bitterness of the reunciation which she demanded and knew that as the years passed his youth and her must slip beyond recalling that it was only the dregs, which brought up by her side. There was no triumph in his tone as he demanded: "You do love me a little, then?" He did not wait for her reply, and went on bitterly. "But there is place for me in your bright little world just now. You would feel the restraint of my unrest. It is best that I should go away for a time, but send for me when you are lonely. Lauren when life has ceased to be a playground." She swept his sword from her as she tossed aside the full wvid years which followed. She allowed herself no time for blooding and went on with the whirl and the laughter. From time to time she missed him dimly, but eliminated all sense of loss by a deeper plunge into gayety. But at length a sensation of weariness and languor crept over her, stealing gradually, that its import might not be too quickly grasped. The great, empty house that had been so poignantly pebbled by her own joyous personality seemed to ring with a hollow sound. The evenings grew longer and more lonely, so chank from gayety and laughter. She started back from her mirror with a cry of anguish. Something strange and terrible had crept over her face. She bent nearer, but had no adequate knowledge with which to read the feltable lines. The warmth from the great fireplace took nothing from the chill in her heart, and she felt suddenly the woman's inevitable longing for little hands clinging to her skirts. Her mind fashed toward Duane. Life was no longer a playground and she was lonely. The pen trembled as she wrote and she felt no doubt that he would come. They would face the remaining years together. Duane turned from the young and radiant girl by his side and hurriedly scanned Laura's slote. He caught his breath sharply and lingered a moment over the girl's detaining hand, then sought to rekindle the old fire with its ashes. He was still young, the years had but added brightness, to his eye, huo- ancy to his step and his being was pregnant with youth and ardor. As he entered the familiar room the refinded fire burst for a moment into a last struggling blaze, but lay gray and still as Laura came toward him. His eyes shrank from the winke- less face and the faded gray tinged hair. "You are old! was forced from him. He sought to check the cry but she had heard. She read the shrinking of his eyes and stifled a low fattle moan. She extended her hand and winced at the youthful vigor of his touch. She battled a moment against her loneliness, then braced herself to meet his need. "It is wrong for you to go on wasting your life," she began gently. "You must not wait—for me, I shall never marry." She was stabbed by the quick flash of relief in his eyes, but turned to him brightly and they talked of other things. - Boston Post. IN WASHINGTON. Capital Is Our Most Un-American City —A Floating Population. To this day, and for as far into the future as one can pierce, Washington bears and will continue to bear the marks of the prenatal influences that shaped it. It betrays them physically when, in half an hour's drive from its faultless pavements, one finds oneself ankle-deep in mud. It betrays them in being the largest negro city in the world. It betrays them, again, in the impression the visitor receives of its being at once the most and the least American because there. If anywhere, one feels one is assisting at the great composite panorama of American life. The city is a national reservoir fed by unnumbered tributaries. It is the clearing house for the humanity of the entire continent. Underneath the rotunda of the house of congress you will assuredly, sooner or later, meet every American you have ever known. Washington, alone on the American continent, approaches the European display of "show-places" and offers the same easy target to the tripper; and this, while not necessarily enhancing its attractions, adds immensely to the comprehensiveness of its summing-up and makes it beyond all rivals a distillation of the whole country. A capital in which you can always find someone who can tell you at first hand what is going on, what is being said and felt, in any part of the country over which it presides, is a capital with an indisputable title to be considered representative; and it is this title which Washington, at any rate during the months when congress is sitting, may legitimately prefer. But the proviso is significant. It is only when congress is in session that Washington achieves its representative effect. Take away the legislators and their camp-followers and families, and the sightseers, and it becomes a mere wilderness of hotels, government offices, and boarding-houses. What, in other words, gives Washington at times its air of being a condensation of America, is the vastness and variety of its floating population. But you cannot compose a society out of a floating population, hotels, and boarding-houses, and the real Washington, the part that counts, is like some small and exquisite piece of embroidery overweighted with a fringe that is neither small or exquisite. The social structure of the American capital is that of a mansion whose vestibule is spacious and easy of access, but whose inner sanctums are closely guarded; and it is when he reaches these penetralla that the European visitor becomes conscious of something singularly un-American in the atmosphere and company.—Sydney Brooks, in Harper's Weekly.

Tommy's mother had made him a present of a toy shovel and sent him out in the sand lot to play with his baby brother. "Take care of baby, now, Tommy, and don't let anything hurt him," was mamma's parting injunction. Presently sereams of anguish from baby sent the distracted parent flying to the sand lot. "For goodness sake, Tommy, what has happened to the baby?" said she, trying to soothe the walling infant. "There was a naughty fly biting him on top of his head, and I killed it with the shovel." was the proud reply. —New York Mail. Celluloid Boomerangs. The 'skill of the Australian bushmen in boomerang throwing is not exaggerated in the least, for the boomerang welded by an expert is a thing of magic. It will scar through the air like a bird, now high up, now just shimming the surface of the ground, turning in circles, finally falling just where it has been aimed to fall. The boomerang can be fashioned of ash or hickory, says a writer in St. Nicholas, but can also be cut or stamped out of celluloid and hard rubber. Boomerangs are now being sold in two or three American cities. Several expert throwers in this country have fashioned their own boomerangs not only of celluloid but of heavy cardboard. If the cardboard does not get wet it makes a serviceable missile. Celluloid is excellent for the purpose, because it is light, very hard to break and can be worked into the peculiar curve and twist, which are so, necessary to give the boomerang its force and direction. Queer Indian Cave. The old Indian cave recently discovered about two, miles from Cliffs, wash., has been visited by many persons during the last few weeks. There are a large number of Indian paintings on the interior yalts of the cave, but so far no one seeing them has been able to decipher any meaning. The cave has a sand floor, which seems very strange, as it is one of the highest cliffs, which is practically all rock in the surroundings. The sand must have been carried there, where it forms a level floor. Some of the visitors have dug into this floor, hoping to find some hidden treasures, but so far nothing has been reported, although holes over three feet deep have been dug into the sand. The cave is large enough, to make shelter for 250 to 300 persons standing and no doubt was a valuable asset to the Indian tribe that made it. Part of the cave appears to be of a natural cavity made by the disintegrated lava rock, while a goodly portion of it must have been worked out in a crude way by human hands a thousand or more years ago. There is still another wonder that produces thought for study as to its probable use, and that is a, window carved through the cliff rocks about fifteen rods from the cave. This window is about a foot wide by three feet in height. Standing on the cliff in which this window and cave are located, many miles of the surrounding country can be seen at a glance. From the window, through the cliff one can look over a large flat of about 100 acres 200 or more feet lower down, lying between the river and the cliffs.—Spokane Chronicle. A Little Princess. Once upon a time—only you must not think this is a fairy story—there was a little princess growing up in a great palace who was destined to occupy a very high and important station and exercise a great influence, in life. Princesses are always supposed to be beautiful, but this one was not at all so. On the contrary, she was decidedly plain, with homely features, and a small, insignificant figure. But she was gifted with a lot of good common sense, she was bright, well educated, and vivacious, and she was thoroughly good. Her name was Charlotte Sophia, and she was the daughter of a petty German prince, a son of the Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Did you ever hear of her? She is well, worth knowing for more than one reason, one of the least being that she was a queen of England and the mother of a great family of English princes. and princesssss. The story of her marriage, to George, HIL., of England, has a touch of romance in it and it is one of the 'bits' of history that 'will interest you, young' for it is almost 'simple' and 'delightful' a pastoral as the Bible story of Ruffs and Boiz. As I have said, the Princess Charlotte was a very bright and intelligent girl, well educated and accomplished. When Frederick the Great was overrunning and desolating the German princesses 'after his' victory at Targarten, she was 15 years old, just budding into wqmanhood. Her sympathetic soul was caught by the horrors and miseries of the German land that she knew and loved. In a moment of impulse she sat down and wrote a letter of protest, denouncing war and praising the charms of peace, which was forwarded to the Prussian conqueror. It was a strange tiling for a young girl to do - but it was a beautiful letter, admirably written, without a single blot, and reflected a great deal of credit upon both the heart and mind of the little princess. In fact, when the letter was published, it was read by a certain prince just entering upon manhood, who exclaimed: "This is the lady whom I shall select for my consort; here are lasting beauties on which the man who his any mind may feast and not be satisfied. She is fitted to be the queen of any nation upon the earth." The prince was George of Wales, who in less than two months was George III; King of Great Britain and Ireland. He made good his assertions, and, like the prince in the story book, he sent over the sea at once for his princess. The 15 year old princess was playing one day with her young companions in the gardens of the ducal palace at Strelitz. In some of the romping games the gay young girls began to gossip about who their future husbands would be. "I shall never marry," said Charlotte. "I am such a homely little thing no person would have me." The postman's horn sounded at that moment. "There comes, your sweetheart, princess," cried one of her companions. It actually proved to be the fact. The post-bought a letter from the woman, Sovereign of England, asking her to be his queen. The princess was not the woman to refuse so honest and sincere a wooer, and the marriage accordingly took place. The wedding was a splendid affair; the bride's dress was of white and silver, with an endless mantle of violet velvet lined with crimson, fastened on one shoulder by a bunch of large pearls. Charlotte was 18, and King George was 23. They led the simplest, happiest lives of any married couple I ever read of. With all his political errors, George III. was an honest, stainless gentleman; and he and his wife were devoted to each other. They loved simple pleasures, and did not enjoy the gay pageants and the costly entertainments of court life; but neither shirked their duties. Their happiest hours were passed in the country among rural retreats. They enjoyed the simple pleasures —quiet, dreamy walks, little country dances to which a dozen couples were invited, and where the honest, good-hearted king and his little queen would stand up and dance three hours to the same tune. Other evenings the queen would play on the harpsichord and sing; then they would have a game of croquet, and after such an innocently spent day they would go to bed without any supper. Does not this seem very commonplace and domestic, not at all as we dream of royalty? But, George III. and his queen were not like other royal personages. Charlotte Sophia was a very domestic person, caring more for her household and her children than for the gayeties of royalty. She could play the part of a queen, however, when necessary; but her tastes were simple. The homely little princess was one of the best of mothers. She had I don't know how many children—almost as many as the old woman who lived in a shoe—but they were all well brought up and carefully trained. At the country home at Kew the royal children had a little farm and raised their own crops and were in the habit of inviting the king and queen to partake of their simple rural meals. Was it not a pretty idea? On these occasions, Queen Charlotte and her husband would take a holiday in the country, and, forgetting all about the cares of royalty, enjoy themselves just as any private person would do. For fifty-seven years Charlotte Sophia occupied the high station of Queen of England, all of which time she was the most exemplary wife in Europe and one of the best women. She died in 1813, aged 73 years. Of Queen, Charlotte's children four, ascended thrones and another was the father of the late illustrious sovereign of Great Britain, Queen Victoria, whose strong domestic qualities and best elements of womanhood were inherited from her grandmother, the homely little princess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz—The Advance.

Hints. For earache a few drops of warm olive oil or sweet oil dropped in ear will soon relieve pain. When the skin becomes overheated, try putting a little baking soda in the water in which you wash. For severe cold on the lungs spread axle grease thickly on a cloth and apply as hot as can be borne. Dandruff arises from different causes, but it is usually a sign of depleted roots, and the scalp needs feeding with grease or tonics. For toothache, fold, a pinch of ginger in a small, clean cloth and put between the gum of the aching tooth and cheek or lip. For teething babies rub gums with equal parts of alum and salt dissolved in a little water. This is also good for ulcerated gums in older persons. Green peppers are good served with boiled rice. In the following fashion: Cut them up and boil until tender, season with salt, pepper and butter, and turn over the rice.

LOYALTY is an element that so many of us are wanting; it is necessary for all of us to cultivate it. TRUE citizenship can only be attained by carrying out the functions of the law. All of us should be true citizens. Our young men just arriving at age should be encouraged to register as voters. The knowing ones should encourage them to do so. RIGHT thinking, right living and right acting will make a healthy body, a noble mind, gain lasting friends and assist in making the world better. PROPERTY is cheaper now than it will be within the coming years. Right now our young men should acquire a piece. Do not delay, purchase now. THE saving of a dollar or so weekly would amount to a neat sum yearly. This is a plan that all our young folks should adopt. The saving habit helps a race. It is a noble thing when a man can say that he is "going home" especially when that home is his by purchase. There is no reason why at least fifty percent more of our people can not own their own homes. Less than a month hence the tax books will be closed. Our tax payers should not become delinquent, especially should our voters all have their names on the registration list. Don't be among the laggards, but prove your love of citizenship by being a qualified voter. With some people the Negro is never good until he is dead, in fact none of his good traits are considered until that time. For instance: much ado is being made about the hanging of J. B. Kellogg, a colored man in Cherokee county. An appeal was made to the governor for clemency, this was refused and the man was hung. Now many are saying, along with the judge who tried him that he should not have been hung Alas! they spoke too late. Take the case of Ed. Raysor who was sentenced to be hung, but was mercifully released by death. It has been proven that he was innocent, but convicted, and after his death many complimentary things are said of him. Thus have many a colored man been wrongly adjudged and brutally dealt with. OTHER cities of the country where our people reside and are conspicuous in the life of the community, one will find social movements that adds much to the social uplift of the race. This is shown where the plebeians respect the rights of the patricians and the patricians realize their duty to the plebeians. It is a feature of taking much rigor out of life's toils and concerting certain forces that will environ a people upon a higher plane of usefulness. This phase of social life is much in evidence in cities contiguous to Savannah, and we must admit that such places Savannahians in a position not tenable we woast of our progress. Let us at once review these cogent facts and back up social pride by annually having an event for charity that will draw upon the social lights of towns and cities of our state and other states. This will be a source of inspiration that will cause us to renew our activities in various directions that will unite us upon a comprehensive basis. We do not believe in a social oligarchy, but we do think that at once we should do like citizens of other places where are located charitable institutions. It is an animated scene to see the people of the race who are race builders of the true type mingling upon an occasion for sweet charity's sake and creating an atmosphere that will be felt in the community life. This will gain prestige for our citizens, and over the banquet table bring such expressions from characters that will lubricate the machinery of our social system. We are glad to note the evidence of such spirit pervading our good old city and we will- ingly contribute our little influence and whatever necessary requisites in our power to bring such an event to pass. Another Venture. THE TRIBUNE delights in chronicing the enterprise of our young men, especially when they venture in the business field. Mr. Yates E. Rogers has opened a first class green grocery on Bolton street, corner Guyler, where he will carry a large stock of goods as usually kept in such establishments. His delivery will be prompt, thus accommodating patrons in any part of the city. Still Another Enterprise. Our people are awakening to their possibilities in a businessway in this community. The latest venture in a far different field from the others, is the erection and opening of a theatre. It was planned, built and will be conducted by one of our enterprising ladies, Mrs. Josephine Styles. It is name "The Pekin" and it had a glorious opening on Thanksgiving day with a matinee and performance at night. Hundreds of people were turned away. Billy Kersands and an admirable array of talent pleased the audience. THE TRIBUNE assures the management success if first class players are presented the people. Growth of the Supreme Grand Temple. This organization is making an excellent progress that is encouraging to all lovers of racial uplift. During the last week there has been a great deal of activity among Savannahians for material growth of this organization and amongsome of the most interested parties contributing to its success during the week are Mrs. Leola B. Johnson organizer of Queen Esther Temple; Mrs. W. P. White, organizer of Solomon's Temple and Mr. W. J. Williams who was instrumental in getting the "United Tie of Brotherhood," an organization which has existed independently more than thirty years to connect itself with this grand organization tie same to be known as the Savannah Temple. This institution is daily endearing itself to the people of this section of the country by the prompt payment of all claims against it and by practicing its broad principle of universal benevolence, that is not only to its members but to the public generally. This is evidenced by the fact though being one of the youngest Orders in our midst, it is the first to have donated to the sick and disabled inmates of Charity Hospital. The officers and members of this organization deserve the highest commendation for the business like way in which they have conducted the affairs to date, which has placed it on a solid foundation and won the recognition and respect of the leading citizens white and colored. We predict for this institution, if the plan they have pursued is followed, a great success and in time it will become one of the leading Orders of the country. Bible Day at Blackshear. Bible day was observed at the First Baptist Church of Blackshear. An interesting program was rendered, consisting of singing, recitations etc. Recitations were made by Henry Lee, Lula Lane, an essay, May Thomas. An essay was read by Miss I.

The most inspiring feature of the Forty Hours Devotions was the Procession of the Blessed Sacrament on Sunday and on Tuesday, in which 70 children dressed in white, 14 altar boys in cassock and surplice and 6 priests with golden vestments took part. It was certainly a beautiful scene, which will always be remembered by those who witnessed it. St Benedict's Church never looked prettier; it was decorated with a profusion of green palms burning caullets and every kind of cut flowers. And now all the decorations have been taken away, our little church presents an aspects of humility, which invites the faithful to enter into the spirit of Mother Church during this holy time of Advent, a time of prayer and presence as a preparation for the great Feast of Christmas. Remember that on Sunday December 5th the question box will be answered at the evening devotions. F B B Church Tuesday night Nov 16th, Rev Wright preached at Bethel Baptist Church.

There is an encouraging number of Negroes who are, in their way, assisting to bring the race into its own by showing their nature genius before the foot lights. These artists are capable of interpreting the works of the old masters that thrills critics. We owe our allegiance to such a class of performers as Mme. Anita Patti Brown who will appear before the music lovers of Savannah, November 29th, under the auspices of the Men's Sunday Club. Mme. Brown received her technical training at the Chicago Musical College, and gained a unique distinction by being the first colored per- son to obtain a scholarship at this noted institution.

The critics of some of the leading cities.of the country have favorably registered their opinions and Savannahians will have a rare treat in the presence of this noted singer at Second Baptist Church on Monday night.

Chicken Filling is a profit. *le business ways in Alaska. A man named J. D. Johnson, living near Seward, that state writes the Department of Agriculture that from 49 Plymouth Rock poultry he sold $20 worth not egg per month, cares raiding and chickens. He estimated that each bird him four dollars clear, above cost of feed, which must be a large item cost. Experimental stations and poultry men are constantly trying out mooted questions and adding to our stock of knowledge on poultry subjects. For instance early hatched chickens are found to grow more rapidly than the late hatched. As chicks grow old it takes more food to produce a amount of gain. Chicks forced at an earliness do not grow so well as they come to maturity. With this there is not full agreement. More chicks die well mash than when fed with dry food. Forced mollition is condemned. Eggs produce the highest percentage of chicks in the early spring. A two-ounce egg is now regarded as the standard size—T.C. K. in Industrious Hen. Cleanliness in Feeding Peultry. Cleanliness in feeding will guard against many diseases to which poultry are liable, such as roup, gapes, and diseases of the skin. Dirty surroundings, variability in air, airiments and they can best be avoided by observing preventive measures. Grains and other hard food may be scattered on the ground, but soft food should be given on boards or, preferably in troughs or other vessels, into which the fowls cannot dig their feet and which can be cleaned easily at frequent intervals. Parasites of drinking purposes should be supplied daily and never allowed to become stagnant. The water should be given in a vessel into which the fowls cannot place their feet, and the vesicles must be cleaned at frequent intervals.—W. H.P., in Indiana Purpose. A light to moderate size of manure after sowing, or the size of fall sowing any time during the growing season, will give the growing plants one nitrogen food. Applying a top-dressing or stabbing manure at least every second or third winter will sustain the growth. If it contains course straw or other litter, this should be treated with high heat off later, but before the alfalfa grows too high, especially if the hay is infested for the past month, a successful grower will claim to cut from the crop to shorten the length of alfalfa hay per season in a season apply a top-dressing to maintain every winter. The highest yields reported from eastern states are where this practice is followed. Some experiment station men believe that there is not done the crop will after eight or ten years to encourage the land chased out of further improvement. —From Coburn's "The Book or alfalfa." It is a fact that better draft horses are grown in this country than ever before. Breeders often specialize to the wants of consumers and are proud dueling a class of draft horses for wins in recognition of their skills of the world. The triumph of the American draft horses at the international shows in London and satirical leading stock markets of Europe has doubled seasons emphasized the super quality of the horses now being produced by American breeders. The breeding establishments of England, Scotland, Germany and Belgium are being called by American importers who are bringing to this country the best stallions on the continent. The infusion of so many crosses of the champion stallions of Europe is impressively felt in the high quality of the commercial horses now being offered at wholesale markets. An English dealer paid $100 at the English market for a draft horse to export to London, where it will be shown in the draft horse parade and also at the 1910 International Show. The higher average prices paid for horses this season as contrasted with their decade ago are predicated, largely on the increased quality of the offerings, as well as the broader demands for horses for industrial use and respect, horsemen who have visited the principal studs of Europe, preparing the time is not distant when the breeders of abroad will be compelled to import breeding stock from America to keep up the reputation of their estate, Ishmends, Indiana Farmers. excellent results. By incorporating a sufficient quantity of pasteurized skim milk with an artificial culture, the so-called commercial starter is produced. These, too, require care in preparation and protection during contamination. If the cleaning agent uses a clean milk acid taste and arca, it indicates a good starter. Nothing short of a clean flavor should be used as its purpose is to enhance the condition of the cream to which it is added. Stir it well when added to the cream. One of the butchery makers' difficulties is to secure enough skim-milk for starter making purposes. Every effort should be made to secure enough so that from ten to twenty-five percent of starter may be used. With butchery cream (more can be used than with thin cream, as the dilution of the thin cream affects the ease of churning). With thirty to thirty-five percent cream, twenty percent of starter can be used to advantage. Prepare it carefully and add as liberally as the cream will permit. Raising Sheep on Waste Land. in many sections of the United States, there is land which is practically worthless unless utilized for pasture. Even then it will be found most profitable if devoted to sheep raising, as such a system would enable the owner to build up the soil. Such lands, under proper management will become very valuable to the man who is in a position to take advantage of such existing conditions, and raise and feed ship. Much of this is cheap hill land, and is admirably suited to sheep grazing. In some localities it can be had in large tracts at low prices, as it has been neglected and pays but little to the owner under present conditions. Thus large numbers of sheep may be maidged and given the best of care at a maximum expense for labor, housing, etc. Spen-land is rough and broken, in many cases having been cleared, or partially cleared, and is now more or less grown up to brush, and is known as brush land. The soil has been washed, and is not particularly fertile, but can be readily built up and thus put into the best sort of grassland for sheep grazing. It will produce a sweet succulent grass well adapted to this class of live stock. This land is not only suitable for mizing purposes, but feeding as well. On nearly all this land there are limited access to milk, which well enriched with sheep manure and clover, provides excellent crisps of flower and corn. These can be utilized in flattening sheep, for market, and thus, by turning the crops into minton and manure, bring a double profit. As the soil becomes more fertile the amount of pasture will greatly increase, more clover and corn can be growing on the cultivated areas, and the cheapness of the land will permit sufficient changes of pasture to keep theocks free from disease. All these soils, where not too dry and gravelly, will, if properly manured, grow good crops of rape, cowpeas and other forage which fit into sheep farming. In many sections there is land where sheep thrives exceedingly well and are very little subjected, to the more restrictive, and common troubles, such as stomach worm. In many places good springs are available, and with little attention a good water supply can be easily obtained. There are good opportunities for the man who owns such land and is looking for a pleasant, healthful occupation, to devote such land to the raising of sheep.—W. H. Underwood, in the Indiana Farmer. Farm Notes. The rows where you have had early corn are excellent for celery. A difference of five dollars in the service often makes a difference of fifty in the colt at four years. Place a small quantity of cotton seed meal around the newly set strawberry plants or around the old ones. Cotton seed meal generates vitality in the plant. Grape juice, unfermented, is a delicious drink; every farmer can have it. grape juice, fermented, has its disadvantages, and every farmer should do without it. It is a good plan to wash the work horses' shoulders every evening after a hot day's work. If a little salt is added to the water it is better as it tends to harden the skin. Don't put immature corn in the silo. It must reach the glazed or dented stage before it will make good silage. Immature, sappy stuff will be low in feeding value and will make your silage. Don't be so grudel as to work a horse day after day with a sore neck or shoulder. Sores are usually caused by fitted harness and wearing most cases be easily cured if well attended to. Have you tried dividing your pasture land in two and changing your stock every week or so? People who have tried it say that they get an least one fourth more profit put in pastures that way, if you have Milk was highly prized as a staining fluid by the ancients.

It was considered proper to present gold ones in their faces masked with a teacup-shaped holder wherein prices to winners, in athletic contests. "If you would be healthy," says one authority," use plenty of soap to keep the skin skin and the pores open." "If you want good health," admonishes another authority, "do not use soap often; it removes the natural oils of the skin, which are necessary to its healthy condition." "Don't wash at all." urges an anti-bathing ladist, who have perfect freedom if they wash. Look at me!" One book in such a case has been sufficient to discourage others from maintaining health on his principle. Many people ever that the accidents and most uncivilized nations of inter-periods did not use soap, and therefore uncleanly in consequence. Substitutes for soap, however, existed almost as far back as did those who desired to make use of such a material. New American fads and hygiene methods for the bath, however, seem to show that we are only just arrivals at a knowledge of cleansing preparations which do not known to the ancients, and which I considered an improvement not slip. There is nothing new about the soap soaps now employed in public places as more hygienic than cakes of soap, which formerly lingered all conditions of hands in succession. Wealthy Romans and Greeks of empires long since persisted were wont to carry to the public baths which they frequented phials of costly alchemy, gold and fine glass, which contained expensive wargames and liquid soaps.

We moderns think ours improve on oil methods which we use outside of perfumed and tied in thin bags: cornmeal, soured, and almond meal for cleansing purposes. In ancient Rome the poor, who could not afford costlyurgents, used mead of limes for bathing. This was a highly cleansing vegetable production, it presses to the skin, and therefore is better than the cheap oats which our tenement house dwellers purchase for a similar purpose. were employed to cleanse the skin, and additions to haemes were wont to be put through a regular system of amolishing with emollients and refined fragrant oils, much as women of today submit to like treatments in "beauty enquiries" for person of social importance. Egyptians chiefly used liquid preparations for cleaning and pruning of trees and products of beauty culture in Europe and New York employ laborers with trained, almost the historian, who have trained their apprentices verting a corrugated surface of tanned leather into the skin, satiny lownesses. They have trained and upward for this treatment.

Mills of oil bars consist of Idaho, hemp oil, caked, scraped, mixed with other ingredient, cheesecloth, to clean, refresh and beautify the skin.

Civil servants have, not infrequently, possessed, maintained succession, from the aborigines in exchange for soap, whitening and barium tried first as an article of food, and merely thought civilized affairs in pursuit. Even old missionaries was more fatigable. For cleansing purposes Indians, and later negroes and isolated whites in the Caribbean Islands and Southern United States, employed forms of canal and roots of palmetto as we use soap and strong potash preparations. The juice of the picha that cactus proved not only a good substitute for liquid soap, but also, as a pomade, was thought to make their skin sprout from even a cold palm.

Mrs. Winifred Caine of Atchison, Kan, the other day started, on a vacation, leaving her five small children at home. She always had had them to care for and didn't know what it meant to care for herself. The result was she caught the wrong train, and did not learn her mistake until she was 10 miles out of Kansas. Returning to the railroad terminal, she found she had to wait an hour for another train, went into the streets and lost herself. When she finally got her bearings, with the aid of a policeman, she lost heart and went home, saying she would spend her vacation watching over her children as usual.—New York Press. The Hat Pin English. Hat pins for women seem to have originated in England in the 14th century. In 1400 the duchess of Orleans is recorded as buying in Paris 500 pins, "de la facon d'Angleterre," so expensive a luxury in those days that its general adoption among wealthy women led to the custom of allowing pin money to wives. And now that hat pins can be beautiful without being expensive, it is doubtful if any invention, however reasonable, will supersede them. Had that been possible, the man's device of wearing a hat large enough to fit securely on his head, instead of perching on the top of it, would have made all such inventions unnecessary for women long ago.—Detroit News. Poisonous Ribbons. Poisonous ribbons are the latest foe to the health of the occupants of the nursery. Danger may lurk unseen in the pretty bows that decorate the baby's bonnet.

"Last Wednesday I was trimming one with apple green ribbon purchased from one of the best shops in London. The child got hold of a short piece and sucked it, with the result that half an hour after she had convulsions and was very ill all night. Had she been a weakly child the green coloring matter would probably have killed her."—Home Chat Mary Harriman a Country Girl. Mary Harriman has as keen an instinct for guarding the cents as her father demonstrated in his business career. As the manager of the 30,000 acre farm in Arden, N. Y., she works with an eye to thrift. The responsibility of the farm is not new to her. For several years she practically held control, her father seldom interfering, and then doing little more than offering a suggestion. Harriman was proud of his daughter's talent for management. They were a familiar sight drying together over the farm, Harriman, as a rule, holding the reins over one of his fast trotters. Miss Harriman cares more for her farm than for society. She is essentially a country girl. Society never has attracted her, and there is little likelihood it will gain her interest now. She is a keen judge of a horse, and seldom gets the worst of a trade.—New York Press. Gowns at Small Prices.

Often one finds on a remnant counter two or three pieces matching which are marked at a moiety of their original price and which make up into a most charming little frock. It is the making that really costs in a gown nowadays, and not so much the material. The girl who learns to manipulate patterns for herself has the advantage of the rest of womankind who must depend on professionals—Philadelphia Ledger. Why Does a Man—? Why does a man look after a pretty woman? This profound question was put to a gentleman of irreproachable standing and well known domestic devotion, who is, nevertheless, not above letting his eyes glance admiringly after a lovely, feminine when he sees one. "That's an easy one," said this man. "A man likes to look at a pretty woman just as he likes to look at a picture. It's because he admires beauty in the abstract. He's not thinking of the woman, but of the lovely object she makes for a beauty-loving eye to dwell upon." All of which does great credit to the masculine aesthetic sense, and is such a comfortable theory that one would fain accept it. What wife or sweetheart need object to the only man's eyes straying after feminine loveliness otherwise personified, once she knows that it is simply an indication of his good taste and highly cultivated aesthetic nature, and that the lady herself is no more in his perspective than is the canvass on which a picture is painted. 'Tis a theory which sheds a whole new rosy light on the matter and ought to do away with jealousy and spiteful remarks.—New Haven Register. Sins-Against the Eyes. Summer is the time when more harm is done to the vision than at any other season of the year. The glare is so strong and the twilights so long that both lead us into unconscious abuse of our eyes. Then, too, as we travel more in summer than in winter we are more apt to read with our books at any old angle, which is constantly changing under jolting car wheels. Here are some of the ways we can sin grievously from an eye-standpoint in the next weeks: Reading on the porch long after the sun has set. Finishing the latest novel in a jogging hammock. Sitting so the shifting light and the shining on our book. Staring at the water when the sun is at is brightest. Slitting so the shifting-light on the shadow of leaves from the porch or arbor play irregularly on the page. Letting the eyes get sunburned. Doing fine needlework in the dim light of a house shaded for soilless. Yachting or canoeing without a broad-brimmed hat or veil as a protection from the glare. Not protecting the eyes with glasses or thick veil when motoring on a dusty road or when traveling with open windows. These may seem trifles worth minding, but they often lay up a store of eye strains that give trouble for years.—New York press. Good Manners. No woman is so young or so old, so powerful or so inconspicuous, that she can afford to grow careless in her manners. There is no bigger asset in life than manners that win friends—and keep them. A pleasant "good morning" costs nothing, yet it is as rare in many families as if manners were of radium scarcity. Some people's manners are like bats—they only come out at night. To be courteous in the morning may oil the household machinery for the day. Surface manners are not the most desirable, but are much better than none. Like painting the outside of an old house, they at least please the casual healer. The true good manners are a matter of the heart. They carry a friendly smile for all, a kindly interest in the small affairs of others—that great breeder of patience—and a courtesy that is not limited by feelings or favor. Many women let down their manners through indifference; they are self-absorbed and forget the rights of others. These are the women who would be horrified to know their reputation for rudeness. There is less conscious rudeness, than most of us credit. Occasionally the snob appears who thinks position is shown by snubs; more often our lapses in politeness are due to overwork, worry, hurry or ill health. There is a rudeness that springs from absent-mindedness. Oddly enough this lack of manners is more openly resented than most, though the offender is generally gentle at heart and would never wound intentionally. Whatever the cause, mind your manners. It will pay you a big interest in good well.—Indianapolis News. Fashion Notes. We are going to wear belts again. There will be a return of the old time silks. Dresses are now snapped on instead of hooked. A good many short panniers are being shown. Velvet will have a prominent part in all fall mininery. Wide velvet ribbon will decorate many of the best hats. We are to see lots of embroidered Irish linen white collars. Cords are to be one of the chief novelties of the new gowns. Colored embroidery will be much used in the newest neckwear. Buttons covered with a coat material are used for coat fastenings. Ribbons have been coming gradually into fashion again as trimming. The most popular tunic is one that is draped rather low, leaving the hips free. The hat pins worn just now are "large, immense, enormous," most of them. Linens and ginghams are the most comfortable wear for little girls in school. The newest skirts have a deep hip yoke effect that fits the figure very closely. Large collars and deep closings are among the most notable features of autumn coats. The waist for afternoon wear can be made with dutch round neck or with the high collar. The new coats are long, decidedly, and narrower, in every way than they wore heretofore. You Look Prematurely Old In the little Rumanian town of Helmagen an annual fair is held on the feast of St. Theodore. On this occasion the place swarms with newly married brides from all the villages in the district; widows who have taken fresh husbands remain at home. The young women, in festive attire and generally attended by their mothers-in-law, carry jugs of wine, enwreathed with flowers, in their hands. They kiss every man they meet and afterward present the jug to his lips for a "nlp." As he takes it he bestows a small gift on the bride. Not to take of the proffered wine is regarded as an insult to her and her family. She is therefore, reserved toward strangers and only kisses those whom she thinks likely to taste of her wine. The kissing is carried on everywhere—in the street, in the taverns and in private houses. —Chicago Daily News.

ATLANTA GETS MEETING Agricultural ‘Commissioners Will __ Mest in Geran PURE. FOOD LAW EFFECTINE Previous to Esashisaas of Pure Food Law Georgii Was Dumping Ground for Impure Food.

As the “Hope Diamond,” the blue stone leaped into fame. Hope's daughter brought it to her husband, the Duke of Newcastle, as part of her dowry. Her son, Lord Henry Francis Hope, inherited it, and misfortune be- ‘set him early. He married May Yohe, and soon she was wearing the dia- mond on the stage. In 1899, Lord Hope was in financial difficulties and tried to sell the gem, but his family prevented this. After his divorce from May Yohe he sold {t, however, to Slmon Frankel, the New York, jeweler. It remained in the United States until January, 1908, when rumors of the financial difficul- tles of Frankel Brothers were fol- lowed by the sale of the jewel. Im- mediately after parting company with the mysterious gem the firm pald off all creditors and returned to its for- mer prosperity. It 4s supposed that, through 2 se- cret agency, the diamond came into the possession of Abdul Hamid, then the, absolute of Turkey, His throno fell before he had possessed the Hope Qiamond even for a year. ‘ e e . > Job Printing 1S NEXT TO NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING. p THE BEST ADVERTISING IN THE WORLD. ot ‘We have-been very fortunate in @ securing the services of one of the € § best and most experienced print- §$ ers in the state, and are now able | @ toexecute Job Printing of every @ description in all leading styles. @ @ The class of work turned out by @ us is acknowledged ta bethe finest § 5 andthe prices the lowest -of any \ 3 printers anywhere, . 3g istration area was 691,574, while for the preceding year it was 687,034.
