With reference ‘to the negro, tho ambassador sald that it was the opia- fon of the best minds he had met in the south that the education of the negroes for economical purposes was. one of the best things for that sec- tion, and that St was important that. they be educated in habits of indus- try. 5 ‘M. Jusserand told the congtess that the future of the south was in the hands of the southerners. He spoke ot his visits to the south and how he was impressed with the natural re- sources, remarking that the problem of the south could be solved because of the wealth of these resources. He paid a high tribute to the genialits, hospitality and high-migdedness of the southern people. | ‘Mr. Field, although designated aa froma London, 1s a native of North Carolina, and in his address sald be was known in tho British capital as a staunch American from the south.

DISRESPECTABLE TO BE SICK. Doctor Fletcher Says That Will Be the Case In Five Years.

Dr. Fletcher, who, with bis wile, sailed to observe mastication in for: elgn Ignds, added the comforting in- telligence: “In-five years from now it will not bo considered respectable to be sick.’ Mr, Fletcher says the great source of unhappiness in the world comes from the mouth. “You may feel like ridiculing the idea that it is well to chew ‘your soup,” sald the doctor, cheerfully, “i will, however, ask you to try It It will’ improve ‘the ‘soup and aelp you. “Never eat when worried, nervous or angry.

That the NewYork exchange {s playing both ends for the benefit of the middlemen, defrauding the farm. ers and cheating the purchaser, {s proven beyond question by the facts and figures presented in Commission- er's Smith’s report. This report has been in course of preparation for the past two years. ‘The investigation into the exchanges of the country was originally under- taken under a resolution tutroduced by Representative L. F. Livingston of Georgia and Albert Burleson of Tex- as. Throe parts of the report have already been published.

In view of the startling disctosures made, and tho widespread baneful of- fect of exchange practices upon the cotton industry of the country, Pres- ident Taft has directed s careful in- vestigation by the department of Jus- tice into the case with the view to criminal prosecutions under the Sher- man anti-trust law. If that law is not sufficient to cover the offense, the president will ask congress for addi- tional legislation under which the ey- change gambling can be reached and stopped, and guilty parties punished.

The value of farm pro- ducts was $8,760,000,000, a gain of $809,000,000 over the preceding year. Of great popular interest are the results of a unique Investigation con- ducted by the department, which shows that in fifty cities the to! rotall cost charged to consumers for, beef above the. wholesals cost paid by the retailers ‘ayeraged 38 per cent. ‘The lower the grado of beef, the greater the percentage of gross profit: In the upward movement of beat prices, the farmer, the report says, has not shared equally with the packer, retailer and wholesaler; but as to hogs, the case fs different, the farmer receiving his fair share of the higher prices of pork in the increased price ot-his unfed hogs. ‘Secretary WHson notes = great for ward movement in enforcing the foad and drug acts, the willfoguess of man ufacturers to’ comply with the laws and to cooperate with the depart ment( making the work largely edu; cational.

With cotton line selling at 12.7 centa on the farm November 7 and with cot- ton seed selling for about $25 por ton, the lint and seed of this crop are worth about $850,000,000 to the farmer. No cotton crop since 1878 has been sold by farmers for as high a price per pound as this one.” | ‘TRANSPORT DIXIE SAILS. There Are 700 Marines on Board the Cruiser.

STATE BAPTIST GALL, ; Office Recording Secretary M. B.°C. of Georgia, Route No, 5, Box No. 47, Hawkinsville, Ga. 7 October ist, 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, if 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 get- ting certificates there will be reduc- ed rate return tickets on sale Nov- ember 7, 8 and 9, from all .points in Georgia to Atlanta. Rates of 3 cents per mile plus’ 26c, 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 men- tioned has been granted on that account, So when I applicd-for the usual certificate plan the Company advised me that it would make said rate apply to Convention also. Connection with the programmes, I send you this letter so that there will be no mistake. Take due notice, and be governed accordingly. We have learned that changing the Convention from June to November \does not meet the approval of a host of brethren, It will be remembered that the change was recommended in the President’s annual address, which paper was referred to’ a committee; the committee reported favorably and subsequently the convention adopted ‘and approved-it by her votes. Let's go up to Atlanta in full force, and if the change is not the best, let’s urge that the convention may re- scind its action; but, personally, I think the change from June to No- vember is best.

The commissioners appointed by the United States and Great Britain to mark accurately the international boundary line between the United States and Canada, in the Passamaquoddy Bay, young failed to agree it has now become necessary to arbitrate the question. The international fisheries commission has completed a system of uniform and common international regulations for the protection and preservation of the food fishes in the national boundary waters of the United States and Canada. The regulations were submitted to congress for adoption. The convention providing for the settlement of international differences between the United States and Canada, including the apportionment of certain boundary waters, which was ratified by the senate March 3, 1895, has not yet been ratified on the part of Great Britain. Commissioners of the United States and Canada are examining into the question of obstructions in the St. John's river between Maine and New Brunswick. Negotiations for an international conference to consider and reach an arrangement providing for the preservation and protection of the fur scals in North Pacific are in progress with the governments of Great Britain, Japan and Russia. the following powers participated: the United States, Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Russia, and Spain. The conference resulted in the Declaration of intention, unanimously agreed and signed by the participating powers, concerning, among other matters, the highly important subjects of blockade, contraband, the destruction of neutral prizes, and continuous voyages. The Declaration of London is an eminently satisfactory codification of the international maritime law, and it is hoped that its reasonableness and fairness will secure its general adoption, as well as remove one of the inflexibilities standing in the way of the establishment of an office, court. The United States was represented at the international conference on maritime law at Brussels. The conference resulted in the signature a referendum of a convention for the unification of certain regulations regarding maritime law and salvage and for the unification of certain matters regard to collisions at sea. Two new projects of conventions, one concerning the limitation of the responsibility of shipowners, and the other concerning maritime mortgages and privileges, have been submitted by the conference to the different governments. The conference will meet again on April 11, 1910 at Belfort to The committee be represented by a fitting display of progress in the useful arts and inventions at the world's fair to be held at Brussels in 1910 remains to be acted upon by the congress.

The programs of reform urge the extension of the rights of civilization, education and fruitful open commerce to that vast domain. The attitude of the United States is one of benevolent encouragement coupled with the hope that the demands of humane sentiment throughout the world will be satisfied. A convention between the United States and Germany, under which the non-working provisions of the German patent law are made inapplicable to the patents of American citizens, is now in force, for similar reasons, which have recently been initiated with other European governments. Commission ta. Liberia. The commission sent to Monrovia to investigate the interests of the United States and its citizens in Liberia was enthusiastically received, and the hope was repeatedly expressed that this government might see its way clear to do something to relieve the critical condition of the republic arising, in a measure, in terminal as well as in general financial embarrassment, that it will be remembranced at the interest of the United States in the Republic of Liberia springs from the historical fact of the foundation of the republic by the coalsization of American citizens of the African race. The report of our commissioners has just been completed, and is now under examination by the department of state. that there may be some helpful ideas in which case it may be my duty again to invite your attention to this subject. The United States has received an invitation from the Norwegian government to take part in a conference for the purpose of devising means to recremely existing conditions in the Spitzerbergen Islands. In view of the American possession, occupation and working of certain coat-bearing lands in Spitzerbergen, the invitation has S MESSAGE. been accepted under certain reservations by the United States. The Near East. His Majesty Mohmed V. Sultan of Turkey, recently sent to this country a special embassy to announce his accession. That country now has a constitutional government within parliament. Constitutional government seems also to have made further advantage in Persia. In the Near East the prestige of the United States has enhanced through the peaceful influences of American schools, universities and missionaries. There is every reason why we should obtain a greater share of the commerce of the Near East. Latin America. It is gratifying to this government that a boundary difference between Bolivia and Peru, which threatened to cause war, was settled without the necessity of intermediation by the government today, more than ever before, American capital is seeking investment in foreign countries, and American products are more and more generally seeking foreign markets. As a consequence, in all countries the American interests are protected, on occasion, in this government. These movements of men of capital and of commodities bring peoples and governments closer together and so form bonds of peace and mutual dependency, as they must also naturally sometimes be protected. The resultant situation invariably imposes upon this government vastly increased responsibilities. This administration, through the department of state and the foreign service, is lending "all proper service to legitimate and beneficial American enterprises in foreign countries, of such support being measured by national advantages to be expected. The Pan-American policy of $i$ this government has long been fixed in its principles and remains, unchanged. With the changed circumstances of the United States and of the republics, to the south of us, most of which have great natural resources, stable government and progressive ideals, the apprehension which gave rise the Monroe doctrine may be said to have nearly disappeared and neither the doctrine exists nor any other doctrine of American policy should be attributed to operate for the perpetuation of irresponsible government, the escape of just obligations, or the insidious allegation of dominating ambitions on the part of the United States. Besides the fundamental doctrine of our Pan-American policy there have grown up a realization of political interests, community obligations and ideas of nourishing commerce. If these bonds will be greatly strengthened as time goes on, increased facilities, such as the great bank soon to be established in Laffla America, supply the means for building up the concessional commerce of the future. On July 30, 1909, the government of Panama agreed, after considerable negotiation, to indemnify the relatives of the American citizens killed in a military treaty, one of them having, Indeed, been killed by the Panaman police this year. The sanitary improvements and public works undertaken in "Cuba prior to the present, administration of that government, are interested which the State is interested in the treaty, are reported to be making, good progress. The governments of the United States and Chile have agreed to submit the American claim of Alsop and Company against the government of Chile to definite settlement by his Brittany-Malesty, Edward VII. The Nicaraguan Situation. Since the Washington convention of 1807 were communicated to government, of the United States, as a consulting and a military party, this government been almost continued up until by one or another, and in turn by all of the five Central American Republics, to exert itself for the maintenance of the conventions. Nearly every complaint has been against the Zehya government of Nicaragua, which has kept America in constant contact or turmoil with those masses made to the presentations of Central American Republics, as due from the United States, on account of its relations to the Washington Conventions, have been at all times conservative, and have avoided, so far as possible, the use of military forces in these matters, it is very evident that the considerer, Canal Zone' and of the very substantial American interests in Central America give to the United States a special position in the zone of these republics and the Carribean Sea. Need not rehearse here the most efforts of the government to promote peace among these regions, offers which are fully appreciated by the majority of those who are loyal to their true interests. It would be no less unnecessary to rehearse here the sad tale of unspeakable barbarieties and oppression of have been committed by the Zelaya government. Recently two representatives were put to death by order of President Zelaya himself. They were reported to have been regularly forced of a revolution which had continued many weeks and was proceeding in an orderly fashion. The control of about half of the republic and such as to the modern practice of civilized nations, they would be entitled to be dealt with as prisoners of war. At the date when this message is printed this government is proceeding with delibertate exhortation to defender such truth, in these reports in this course in the most consistent with its dignity, its duty to 'American interests and its moral obligations to Central America, and to civilization. The liberal support of congress is asked for the international bureau of American republics which is maintained for the development of Pan-American commerce and friendship. The Far East. In 'the Far East this government preserves unchanged its policy for supporting the principle of opportunity and commitments respect for the integrity of the Chinese' empire, the policy and bledged the interested powers of both east and west. By the treaty of 1903 China has undertaken the abolition of likin with a moderate and proportionate raising of the customs tariff along with currency reform. These reforming bills of manifest advantage to foreign countries well to the interests of China, this government is endeavoring to facilitate these measures and the needful acquiescence of the treaty powers. After months of negotiation the equal participation of Americans in the Chinese railroad loan seems at last assured. It is gratifying that Americans will thus take their share in this extension of these great highways of trade, and to believe such activities right of impel to our commerce and will prove a practical corollary to our historic policy in the Far East. The results of the opium conference held at Shanghai last spring at the invitation of the United States have been laid before the government. The report shows that China has made and adduced efforts toward the eradication of the opium owl. Collateral investigations of the opium question in this country lead me to recommend that the manufacture, sale and use of opium in the United States should be so far as possible more rigorously controlled by legislation. After a thorough examination of the conventions and of the several contextual documents, the secretary of state reached the conclusion that monopoly was not accomplishing the mission of mining privileges along the South Manchurian and Antung-Mukden railroads. Our traditional relations with Japan continue cordial as usual. The arrangement for a cooperative venture coming in favor to the United States has proved to work satisfactorily. The Department of State. I earnestly recommend to the favorable action of the congress the estimates submitted by the department of state and most especially the legislation suggested in the secretary of state's letter of this date whereby it will be possible to develop and make permanent the reorganization of the department upon modern lines in a manner to make it a thoroughly efficient instrument in the furtherance of our foreign trade and of American interests abroad. An executive order which places the diplomatic service under civil service rules is now in effect. Appointed three officials to assist the officers of the government in collecting information necessary to a wise administration of the tariff acco of August 5, 1909. Other Departments. In dealing with the affairs of the other departments, the heads of which all submit annual reports, I shall touch only those matters that seem to me to call for special mention on my part without minimizing in any way the effects made by legislation affecting our respective departments, in all of which I wish to express my general concurrence. Government Expenditures and Revenues. Perhaps the most important question presented to this administration is that of economy in expenditures and sufficiency of revenue. If a probable deficit is shown by the government, it is the duty of the president to recommend the choice by which such deficit can be met. The report of the secretary of the treasury shows that the ordinary expenditures for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 1910, will be the estimated receipts of 975,620.10 for this office, added the sum to be allocated for the Panama canal, amounting to $38,000,000 and $1,000,000 to be paid on the public debt, the deficit of ordinary receipts and expenditures will be increased to the total deficit of $733,000. The deficit the secretary of the proposed to meet by the proceeds of bonds issued to pay the cost of constructing the Panama canal. I approve this proposal. The Panama Canal. The policy for the construction for the Panama canal, not out of current revenue, but by bond issues, was adopted in the Spooner act of 1902, and there seems to be no good reason for departing from the principle by which a part at least of the burden of the cost of the canal shall fall upon our posterior to enjoy it; and there is all the more reason for it because the account to date of the canal, which is show half done and which will be completed January 1, 1915, shows that the cost of engineering and construction will be $297,766,000. Instead of $393,705,200, as originally estimated. In addition to engineering and construction, the other expenses, including sanitation and government the amount paid for properties, the franchise and the privilege of building the canal, increase the cost by $353,000 to a total of $375,201,000. The increase in the cost of engineering and construction is due to a substantial enlargement of the plan of construction by widening the canal 100 feet in the Culebra cut and by increasing the dimensions of locks, to the understimates of the quantity of the work done under the original plan, and to an understimates of the cost of labor and materials, both of which have greatly enhanced in price since the original estimate was made. Cutting of Expenses. Cutting of Expenses In order to allow a debt for the ensuing year, I directed the heads of departments in the preparation of their estimates to make them as low as possible consistent with imperative governmental necessity. The result has been, as I am advised by the secretary of the treasury, that the estimates, of the expenses of the government for the year ending June 30, 1911, are for the next fiscal year less by $5,658,000 than the total of appropriations for the current fiscal year, and less by $94,000,000 than the estimates for that year. So far as the secretary of the treasury is able to form a judgment as to future income, and compare it with the expenditure for the year ending June 30, 1911, including the payment in account of the public debt, there will be no deficit in the year ending June 30, 1911, but a small surplus of $12,600. In the present estimates, the needs of the departments and of the government have been cut to the quick, no to speak, and any assumption, on the part of congress, so often made in times past, that the estimates have been prepared with the expectation that they may be reduced, will result in seriously hampering proper administration. The treasury department has instituted an investigation into the efficiency of each employee in several bureaux. Under the present system, superior ability of an employee is not rewarded because the bureau will re-classification of the civil service so that work requiring most application and knowledge and ability shall receive most compensation would be fairer to the whole force and would permanently improve the personnel of the service. As the degree of efficiency in all the departments is much lessened by the retention of old employees who have outlived their energy and usefulness, it is indispensable to any proper system, of, economy that provision be made so that the bureau from the start shall be easy to maintain. It is impossible to make such provision unless there is adopted a plan of civil pensions. I am aware, that there is a strong feeling in both houses of congress, and possibly in the country, against the establishment of civil pensions, and that this burden of military pensions, which it has always been the policy of our government to assume, but I am strongly convinced that no other practical solution of the difficulties presented by the superannuation of civil servants can be proposed, and that of a system of pensions. FARREL agree to refer to the fact of the discovery of extensive frauds in the collection of the customs revenue at New York City, in which a number of the subordinate employees in the weighing and other departments were directly concerned, and in which the beneficiaries were the American Sugar Refining Company and others. The frauds consisted in the payment of duty receipts in the weights of sugar, the government has recovered from the American Sugar Refining Company all that it is shown to have been defrauded of. Criminal prosecutions are now proceeding against a number of the government officers. The treasury department and the department of justice are exerting every effort to discover all the wrongdoers, including the officers and employees of the companies who may have been privy to the fraud. It would seem that an investigation of the frauds by congress at present, pounding the by the treasury department and the attempt to prove of justice, as proposed by giving immunity and otherwise-prove an imprisonment in securing conviction of the guilty parties. Maximum and Minimum Clause In Tariff Act Two features of the new tariff act call for special reference. By virtue of the clause known as the "maximum and minimum" clause, it is the duty of the executive to consider the laws and practices of other countries with reference to the importation into those countries of the products and merchandise of the United States and if the executive such laws and practices to be unduly discriminatory against the United States the minimum duties provided in the bill are to go into force. Unless the president makes such a finding, then the maximum duties provided in the bill, that is, an increase of twenty-five per cent ad valorem over the minimum duties, are to be in force. Fear has been expressed that this power conferred and duty imposed on the executive is likely to lead to a tariff war. I beg to express hope and belief that this result need be anticipated. No one is seeking a tariff war or a condition in which the spirit of retaliation shall be aroused. Uses of the New Tariff Board. a doily, I have required a reduction in the estimates of the war department's spending, fiscal, fiscal, which brings the totar estimated down to an amount, to be repaid, possibly estimated for last year. This could only be accomplished by cutting off new projects and gassing for the period of one year all progress in military matters. For the same reason I have directed that the army shall not be recruited up to its present authorized strength. To accomplish this transition to a number of needed changes in the army in all of which I concur, but the point upon which I place most emphasis is the need for an elimination bill providing a method by which the merits of officers' shal have some effect upon their advancement. The amount of all may be accelerated by the effective elimination of a definite proportion of the least efficient. The const. defenses of the United States proper are generally all that could be desired, and, in some respects they are rather more elaborate than under present conditions are needed to stop an enemy's feet from entering harbors defended. There is, however, one place where, additional defense is badly needed, and that is at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay, where it is proposed to make an artificial island for a fort to prevent an enemy's feet from entering. Important strategic base of operations on the whole Atlantic and Gulf-coasts. I hope that appropriate legislation will be adopted to secure the construction of this defense. The military and naval joint board have unanimously agreed that it would be unwise to make the large expenditures which at one time were contemptulated in the establishment of a naval base and station in the Philippine Islands, and have expressed their judgment, in which I fully cur, in favor of making a commitment to the naval harbor, near Honolulu, and not in the Philippines. This does not dispense with the necessity for the comparatively small appropriations required to finish the proper coast defenses in the Philippines now under construction on the island of Corregidor and elsewhere or to complet a suitable repair station and coaling supply station at Olongapo, where is the floating dock "Dewey," I hope that this recommendation of the joint board will end the discussion of the comparative manila Bay and Olongapo as naval stations, and will lead to prompt measures for the proper equipment and defense of Pearl harbor. The Navy. The return of the battleship fleet from its voyage around the world, in more efficient condition than when it started, was a noteworthy event of interest alike to our citizens and the naval authorities of the world. Our officers are earnest and zealous in their profession, but it is a regrettable fact that the higher officers are old for the rest, and the admirals do not motivate the flag fank young enough to obtain adequate training in their duties as flag officers. This need for reform in the navy has been ably and earnestly presented to congress by my predecessor, and I also urgently recommend the subject for consideration. Owing to the necessity for economy in expenditures, I have directed the chiefs of recommendations for naval appropriations so that they are thirty-eight millions less than the corresponding estimates of last year, and the request for new naval construction is limited to two first class battleships and one repair vessel. Department of Justice. Expedition in Legal Procedure. The deplorable delays in the administration of civil and criminal law have received the attention of committees of the American Institute for Civil and Criminal Law, as well as the considered thought of judges and jurists. In my judgment, a change in judicial procedure, with a view to reducing its expense to private litigants in civil cases and facilitating the dispatch of business and final decision in both civil and criminal cases, constitutes the greatest need in our American institutions. I do not believe a moment that much the lawless violence in lynching is directly due to the uncertainties and injustice growing out of the delays in trials, judgments and the executions thereof by our courts. I recommend legislation providing for the appointment by the president of a commission with authority to examine the law and equity procedure of the federal courts of first instance, the law of appeals from those courts to the courts of appeals and to the supreme court, and the court imposed in such procedure in the private litigants' court on the public treasury and make recommendation with a view to simplifying and expediting the procedure as far as possible and making it as inexpensive as may be to the litigant of little means. Infunctions Without Notice. Injunctions. The platform of the successful party has last election, contained the following: "The republican party will uphold at all times the authority and integrity of the courts, state and federal, and will ever insist that their powers to enforce their process and to protect life, liberty and property shall be preserved inviolate. We believe, however, that the rules of procedure in the federal courts with respect to the issuance of the writ of injunction should be more accurately defined by statute, and that no injunction or temporary restraining order should be denied without notice, except where irreparable injury would result from delay, in which case a speedy hearing thereafter should be granted." I. recommend... that in, compliance with the promise thus made appropriate legislation be adopted. Postoffice Department. Second Class-Mail-Matter. The subject of charges on second class mail is progress for consideration. I very mildly dicit the wisdom of our policy which constitutes to imprison a subsidy to newspapers, and magazines and, requires, additional fixation meet. If the subject of progress is the 'subject worthy of their tion of the postmaster, the intellectual necessity and the capability of the establishing, posing the banks. The successful entry at the last election, declared in favor of postal savings, banks, and although the proposition finds opponents in many parts of the country, the com-munity is not alone. Simple double sum banks and am sure that when the banks are furnished they will be productive of the utmost good. The postal savings banks are not constituted for the purpose of creating competition with other banks. The rate of interest upon deposits to which they would be limited, would be so small as to prevent their drawing deposits away from other banks. Shlp Subsidy. Following the course of my disguised predecessor, I earnestly recommend to congress the consideration and passage of a ship-subsidy bill, looking to the establishment of lines between our Atlantic seaboard and the Pacific, as well as lines from the west coast of the United States, to South America, China, Japan and the Philippines. Interior Department: New Mexico, and Arizona. The successful party in the last election in its national platform declared in favor of the admission, as separate states of New Mexico and Arizona, and I recommend that legislation appropriate to this end be adopted. Alaska. With respect to the territory of Alaska, I recommend legislation which shall provide for the appointment by the president of a governor and also of an executive council, the term of office reside in the territory, and which shall have legislative powers sufficient to enable it to give to the territory local laws adapted to its present growth. I strongly deprecate legislation looking to the election of a territorial legislature; in that district. The Light House Board The Light House 1648a. I recommend the transfer of control over civilian bureaus. This is in accordance with the judgment of competent naval command. Consolidation of Bureaus! I request congressional authority to enable the secretary of commerce and labor to unite the bureaus of manufactures and statistics. The White Slave Trade. I greatly regret to have to say that the investigations made in the bureau of information and order of information of informants to the view, that there is urgent necessity for additional legislation and greater executive activity to suppress the recruiting of the ranks of prostitutes from the streams of immigration into this country—an evil which, for want of a better name, has been called "The White Slave Trade." I believe it to be constitutional to forbid "under penalty, the transportation of persons for purposes of prostitution across, national and state lines; and by appropriating a fund of $200,000 for the commerce and labor for the employment of special inspectors it will be possible to bring those responsible for this trade to indictment and conviction under a federal law. Bureau of Health 1979 For a very considerable period a movement, has been 'gathering strength, especially among the members of the medical profession, in favor of a concentration of the instruments of the national government which have to do with the promotion of public health. There seems to be no reason why all the other bureaus and offices in the country should be those of the army and navy, which have to do with the public health or subjects like thereto should not be audited in a bureau to be called the "bureau of public health." Semi-Centennial of Negro Freedom. The year 1913 will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation 'granting freedom to the negroes. It seems fitting that this event should, hey properly celebrated. Already the emancipation of white groes, 'encouraged by promotion, white people and the press. The 'South especially is manifesting, its interest in this movement. It is suggested that a proper form of celebration would be an exposition to show the progress, the negroes have mado, not only during their period of freedom, but also during this country, be healthy, endorse this, a proposal. Conclusions. I have thus message compressed as much as the subjects will permit, referred to many, of the legislative needs of the country, with the exceptions already noted. Speaking generally, the country is in a high state of prosperity. There is every reason to believe that we are on the eve of a substantial business expansion, and we have just made harvest of our agricultural products. The high prices which such products bring meal great prosperity for the farming community, but on the other hand they mean a very considerably increased burden upon those classes in the community whose yearly compensation does not expand, with improvement and the market of our agricultural products. Various reasons are appropriate for the high prices. The proportionate increase in the output of gold, which today is the chief medium of exchange and is in some respects a measure of value, furnishes a substantial explanation of at least part of the increase in prices. The increase in population of the more expensive in population of the people living of the people has been, but been accompanied by a proportionate increase in average production, may marshal a further reason. It is well to note that the increase in the cost of living is not confined to this country, but prevails the world over, and those who would argue prices to the factive prospective tariff are the factive the fact that the rise in prices has taken place almost wholly in those products in the factory and farm in proportion which there has been, either no, increase in tariff, or in many instances a very considerable reduction.

The white man who killed the colored man is in jail charged with murder. We rely upon authorities to simply see that justice is done. We want our white friends to feel that the colored citizens appreciate every kind not done or spoken in their behalf. A record is kept of all these friends and we will never forget them. PRESIDENT TAFT's first message seems to please many. The only special reference to us as a race is his endorsement of the exposition in 1913, and the recommending of an appropriation for the reimbursement of the defunct Freedman's bank depositors. GEORGIA is inviting capital and settlers. Lynchings and mob rule will deter either from entering the borders of the state. Enforce the laws impartially and break up the mob, then Georgia will indeed be the garden spot for capital and settlers. It would be well for the authorities to fully investigate the recent killing of the colored man by the policeman in Yamacraw last week. THE TRIBUNE can not rely on rumors and state what the people in that section is saying or how they feel about it, but all of these could be fully brought out if the authorities would have an investigation. Where it not for the timely interference of Recorder Schwarz last Saturday night, an inoffensive colored man would have been brutally beaten, and if he had resented it, arrested and possibly fined as being the aggressor. As it luckily happened the recorder saw the two white man mistreating the old man and stopped them, even though he was assaulted by the men. But few white men would have acted as did our brave recorder, and THE THIBUNE wants to let him know that he is toasted for this timely act. A PETITION Was presented to Governor Deneen of Illinois to reinstate Frank E. Davis, of Alexander County, who allowed the mob to lynch a colored and white man at Cairo. The Governor denied the petition and said "Mob violence has no place in Illinois. It is denounced in every lino of the Constitution and in every statute. Instead of breeding respect for law, it breeds contempt. The law may be severe, which, severe or not, it must be enforced." If there were more Governor Deneens, there would be less lynchings. Dr. Brunner's Practical Address Commended. Friday afternoon of last week, Dr. W. F. Brunner, our able health officer, delivered an address before the members of the Council of Charities and Health. The Council is composed of white ladies. The Morning News gives the following account of the doctor's address: COLONIZATION OF NEGROES. "The first step to be taken towards the eradication of tuberculosis in Savannah, is to stop the colonization of Negroes, as in Yamacrow and Frogtown, for it is among the Negroes that the disease is most prevalent and in protecting them you protect yourselves. "My belief is that the danger of contagion from tuberculosis infected persons is greatly exaggerated and this society would do much more good if they directed their efforts toward helping the Negro in general rather than devoting their efforts merely toward the tranquilizing of a single trouble. NEGROES NOT LAZY OR UNCLEAN. "The Negroes are not a lazy and unclean race instinctively, although the majority of people think this the case. They have been made what they are by their environment and it is the white peo people who are to blame for their present ways of living. CONDITIONS IN YAMACRAW. "Take Yamacraw for example. In that one section, which is considerably less than a half mile square, there are 9,000 people existing in 1684 houses, none of which is more than two stories high and of these thousands 97 per cent. are colored people. In some of these five or six people sleep in a single room and the sanitary conditions are simply unspeakable. Is it any wonder then that the mortality among the black people is so high?" To prove his point that the Negroes are not dirty by instinct Dr. Brunner made the startling statement that in the poorer sections of the city the colored people as a whole are much cleaner than some of the poor whites in these sections. This brought forth a lively discussion between Dr. Brunner and several of the ladies and a number of specific instances were quoted. HOW TO GIVE RELIEF. When questioned as to how these distressing conditions could be relieved, Dr. Brunner advised that first of all the preying on the blacks by money lending, installment houses and industrial insurance schemes should be stopped and thus bring them out of their continued poverty. He also spoke on the infringement of many of the building laws and of the promiscuous packing of as many families as possible into a small space in order to collect more rents. "This strikes the tenderest nerve in the human body—the pocketbook nerve," said Dr. Brunner; "and when that sensitive point is reached, interest in charity wanes. "The colored man was never given a fair show," he said in closing. When he was worth a few dollars as a slave he was well taken care of, but since the abolition of slavery his value has deminished practically to zero and the average view taken towards his uplift especially in the south, is 'what's the use?' And I am a Southern man myself," he concluded. For these truthful and outspoken words, Dr. Brunner is receiving the everlasting praise of she colored citizens. This not the first time that the doctor has come to the rescue of our people along these lines. He is a gentleman of conviction and has sufficient backbone and ability to give vent to the same. THE TRIBUNE in behalf of the large colored population, extends Dr. Brunner appreciation for this great and signal service that he has rendered. REBENTLY Booker T. Washington made a tour of Tennessee speaking at several places to both colored and white people. At Brownville, Judge Bond after hearing the brilliant address of Dr. Washington and his plea for the Negro, gave vent to his feelings as follows: "I was born and reared here in the South, and have associated all my life with Negroes, and I feel that I owe a debt to the Negro that can never repay During the war the Southern white man left his home, his wife and his children to the care of the Negro, and I have yet to hear of an instance where that trust was betrayed. "Ever since I have sworn that I shall be grateful to the colored people and never be unfair to that race. The white man who does not admit that he owes a duty to the Negro in the sight of God is not a man; he is not a man if he does not at all times and in all circumstances acquit h meelf of that duty. If there was ever a people in this country who owed a debt to another people, it is the southern white man to the Southern Negro. The white man who lives north of the Ohio River owes a debt, too, but, his debt is as nothing compared with ours." THE TRIBUNE and every colored person commend [Judge Bond for his honest expression, and feel that if the others of our white friends would be equally expressive and act accordingly it would be the means of inspiring us more, and it would tend to discourage mob law and those who take advantage of the Negro. His Death Mourn by All Who Knew Him. Died at Robertsville, S. C., Nov. 15, the Hon. J. B. Bascomb who for years was a resident of that place. His sickness was of short duration and was brought about by an accident on the railroad which occurred on the 20th of October 1909. At the time of his death he was a large land owner and was rated as one of the most prominently successful farmers of Hampton, Co. He was a man noted for his cultured gentlemanship, honesty, industry, integrity and truthfulness, these virtues were known and acknowledged by white and colored throughout the county. The deceased was also widely known as a standard for peace between the races and on several occasions was the means of averting conflicts that gave apparent rise for racial disturbances. Had it not been for his timely interference and manly influence, many lives would have been lost and much blood shed in the racial disturbance that took place at Stafford's cross roads in 1876 where one white man was killed during a political dispute. The white men at this conflict were under command of Capt. Hal Richardson and the colored men were under command of the deceased at whose home a conference was held, which resulted in peaceful issues being brought about and a quiet retirement of the men to their homes. Being connected with the politics of this state he served as a member of the house of representatives two terms 1872-1874 associating with the honorables Samuel Green, Robert Smalls, G. A. Reed, S. J. Bampfield, Thos. E. Miller and N. B. Myers. The funeral was very largely attended by white and colored, which showed the respect and high esteem in which the deceased was held by all. A widow, two sons, and one daughter survive the deceased, one son the Rev. L. B. Bascomb of Birmingham, Ala., the other Prof. A. S. Bascomb, principal public school of Beaufort, S. C., and Mrs. E. M. Primus, teacher in the Pineland graded school. The Rev. E. J. Ravennash of Gillisolville, performed the last sad funeral rites, assisted by other visiting ministers and the remains were interred in the family burial ground at Robertsville. F. A. B. Church. Over a thousand persons made up the audience at the two steroptical exhibition of Rev J C Ucheek at the First African Baptist Church Franklin Square on Thursday evening of last week and Tuesday of this week; possibly the largest audience that has greeted his exhibition at any of the churches in the city. The pastor presides very often on last Sunday which is listened to by many with intense interest. Two candidates were baptized after the 11 o'clock a.m service. The communion service in the afternoon was impressive and attended by a large number. Nearly every seat in the spacious edifice was occupied. A number of visiting ministers and deacons occupied the front seats. Everybody seemed to have observed the day from several points of view; commemorating the death and suffering of our Lord and Saylor, and being spared to take the last communion in the year 1909. Glorious indeed the entire day in songs and praises. Many of the old heralds of the church fasted and prayed all day. The Bons and Daughters of Benevolent were the guest of honor at the evening service. The pastor in a very appropriate and timely manner addressed them and complimented them on their record as a Society and their individuality as Christians; inviting them to come again. Mr W M H Ward their faithful secretary read the standing of the society. Mrs Abbie L Johnson stands at the head of the society as president. They donated a neat sum to the pastor and church.

It will be a most important meeting, as the new officers for the coming year will be elected, and about 12 new members will be admitted. Last Sunday evening Father Dahlent answered the "Question Box," a large croyd of Catholics and non Catholics was present. Many very interesting and practical questions were answered in a clear and convincing manner by the Rev. Father; the service was certainly an important and interesting. At the congregation meeting, which took place after the evening devotions, the pastor of the church announced to the congregation that next year a little paper would be published for the interest of St. Benedict's church, Father Dahlent, who is the editor of the paper, explained how that monthly paper would be a new bond of unity amongst the members of the church and a great means of spreading truth and light amongst those who misunderstand so much the teachings of the Catholic church. The whole congregation received most enthusiastically the gladdome news, and they all pleaded themselves to help Father Dahlent in making the new enterprise a grand success. The paper will be called "St. Benedict's Messenger." It will be edited in St. Benedict's rectory 518 E. Gordon street, where all news and items for publication should be sent.

An improvement has been recently made in the construction of clothes props which all women who take an active part in the household routine 1 will appreciate. It would seem that the old-style prop had done service so long that there could be no improvement suggested, but a well known shortcoming of the old wooden pole is that in a wind it is soon dislodged and falls to the ground, permitting the clean clothes to drag back and forth over the dirty surface. The new pole is supplied with a double hook, which prevents the pole from leaving its place under the rope. — Boston Post. The Whole Science of It. Two women, walking along one of the business thoroughfares of the city, heard a great shouting of "Extr, extry," and looked about to see where all the noise was coming from. Across the street they spied one very small newshoy shouting with all this might. One of the women, attracting the boy's attention, called him to her and bought a paper, then, as she dropped the pennies into the little fellow's hand, she said: You mustn't make so much noise, my little man; you can sell your papers just as well without yelling so." For half: second the boy looked up at her in surprise, then exclaimed; up at her in surprise, then exclamate: "You don't understand, missus; you've got to yell like the devil to make a living in New York."—New York Times. New Kind of Trunk: In recent years there has been such a marked improvement in trunks that it is now possible to travel all over the country and keep one's clothes in as good shape as if hanging in the wardrobe at home. Not so long ago a traveler who could locate any one article in his trunk without clawing the entire contents into chios was a man of unusual dexterity, and at the end of a long journey, everything was jammed in one corner. The combination trunk designed by a New York man is so constructed that it will always stand on one end, the top and sides, having convex projections which insure this. The drawers of this trunk are so pivoted that they can be tilted to either a vertical or a horizontal position. There is a generous number of drawers and flaps, and the trunk is especially convenient for Trunk Always Upright. the safe carriage of women's hats. There are also hooks on which suits of clothing may be hung and kept always in an upright position.—Washington Star: Wary. "Benzcate of soda doesn't hurt anybody."

Charlie White Has Been Cured of the Drug Habit, and Will Be Uninjured in Operation-White May Restore Him. Not many weeks ago the pathetic story of a victim of the Drug Habit, who came to Atlanta to earn a living as newsboy—rather than remain at home as a helpless, hopeless burden on the support of a poverty-streaked fairly, excited the symp by of charitable Atlantians, and arrangement* were made with Dr. W. A. Sturmes to take him at his Privat* Sanitarium and cure him of the Morphine Habit. "Now, after a course of treatment at Dr. Starnes' Saltarium, he no longer craves the 'dope'," his drawn and distorted limbs are to be straightened by an operation which the doctors have every hope will be successful. He is out of the Hospital a well unan, to throw away his crutches, and to make more money than he could ever earn by selling papers on a corner. A few weeks ago White was carried to the Grady Hospital, also to the Presbyterian Hospital, but he could not accept his declining health, so he could be done for him. Secretary Joe Logan, of the Associated Charities, telephoned to Dr. Starnes about him, he agreed to take him and cure him. He said he could be curd of the morphine, and an operation would straighten him outso he could earn a living. He had to work with his Habit, and is ready to undergo the operation. The good citizens of Atlanta must contribute $75.00 to pay for the braces and appliances, which will be necessary for Mr. White to wear after the operation.

It is complained that cold storage is causing city people to forget the taste of fresh food. It also interferes with the natural course of prices. Eggs should be cheap in summer. They are not, because the cold storage houses have bought them up. Fresh poultry is scarce in the markets for the same reason. One remedy suggested is to limit the time during which food products can be lawfully kept in storage. If there were a three months' limit the cold storage people would be less anxious to go into the country at the beginning of May and strip it of its supply of eggs and of poultry, and keep on robbing the public of its sustenance all summer in order that they may sell their cold-storage products at 100 per cent profit. The producer does not profit by this greed.—Washington Herald. He Expressed No: O'Dlnlon. Here the judge took a hand in examining the ventroman. "You don't seem to understand the questions addressed to you by the attorney," he said. "What they want to know is whether you have formed or expressed any opinion in this case. That is to say, have you told anybody whether or not you believe the defendant guilty of the crime charged against him, or have you said to anybody that you believe him to be innocent?" "Course not, judge," answered the ventroman. "It isn't necessary, for me to express my opinion about him. I've known him for thirty years, and I know bland, well, he stole the cow"— "That will do, Mr. Skiles. You may stand aside."—Chicago Tribune. Mrs. Tim—Don't funny things, often suggest themselves, to a person? Mrs. Tam—I should say they do. My husband suggested himself to me. —New York Journal. Man, physically, should be like a perfectly regulated machine, each part working easily in its appropriate place. A slight derangement causes undue friction and wear, and frequently ruins the entire system. A well known educator of Boston found a way to keep the brain and the body in that harmonious so-operation which makes a joy of living. "Two years ago," she writes, "being in a condition of nervous exhaustion, I resigned my position as teacher, which I had held for over forty years. Since then the entire rest has, of course, been a benefit, but the use of Grane-Nuts has removed one great cause of illness in the past, namely, constipation, and its attendant evils. "I generally make my entire breakfast on a raw egg-beaten into-four spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, with a little hot milk or hot water added. I like it extremely, my food maslimates, and my bowels take care of themselves. I find my brain power and physical endurance much greater and I know that the use of the Grape-Nuts, has contributed largely to this result. "It is with feelings of gratitude that I write, this testimonial, and trust it may be the means of alding others in their search for health."

OUR FIRST BOTANICAL GARDEN. Still Flourishing in Philadelphia After 180 Years. The first botanical garden in America was established near Philadelphia about 1730 by John Bartram, a Quaker, who was also the first native American botanist. It was, a small affair (the entire property comprised only five acres) and a part of the limited space was occupied by the house, built by his own hands; but the garden was a remarkable project indeed for those days and is known to have contained many chicps, specimens. William Barfram, son of John, is perhaps better known as a botistin because of the fact that his account of his extended travels in the Southern Atlantic States was published and contains many important observations upon the plants of the regions explored by him. He maintained the garden established by his father, and after his death the property remained in the hands of owners who were deeply concerned in its preservation for many years. During a short period of neglect perilous damage was done to the old garden, but within the last twenty years it has become the property of the city of Philadelphia, and is now a city park. According to the Journal of the New York Botanical Garden its collection of trees and shrubs has always been notable and the old house is still in an excellent state of preservation. The second American botanical garden in North America was also near Philadelphia and was established in 1773 by Humphry Marshall, a first cousin of John Bartram and like him a Quaker. The old garden has long since passed into a state of decay, but the house built by Marshall with his own hands in 1773 is still in an excellent state of preservation. Humphry Marshall has the distinction of having written the first botanical work ever published in the United States, an account of our native trees and shrubs, printed in Philadelphia in the latter part of the year 1785. Perfectly Safe; "I've just spanked Ned. I don't know what course you'll pursue with Stephen," remarked the mother's intimate friend. "What have the boys, been up to now?" was the timorous query. "About the very last thing you'd imagine. They've been eating luncheon with the Italian laborers working along the car track. And you might as well know the worst at once—they've been eating meat cooked in a shovel." With a frantic vision of a hopelessly germ-riddled child Stephen's mother called her interesting heir to speedy account. "I didn't eat luncheon with any strange men," he indignantly persisted. "Those men are all, my dear friends. And I didn't eat any meat cooked in a shovel, either." "Only some gravy cooked in a shovel by one of the men." Then perceiving the wild alarm in the maternal countenance. "But if was clean, all right, mother, for I saw the man wipe off the shovel with his hat before he poured in the gravy." — New York Times. Against Gambling. "I think it's simply awful," said the first woman, "the way men remain away from home at night and risk their earnings; at the game of poker. My husband is a perfect friend about the game. One night he had three friends at our house, and they played that horrid game until nearly half-past three in the morning." "My!" excalmed the other woman, the one with the 5-A plaid waist. "And does he lose much money?" "No-o," says the first one. "He hasn't really lost any money. In fact, he's been winning a little bit. But then, that doesn't make it right. I would, he opposed to gambling, no matter how much he might win. And just as soon as my husband wins enough to finish paying for my fall and winter clothes that I've picked out I'm going to make him stop it. If he doesn't, I'll leave him. I just simply won't live with a man who's a gambler."—New York Times. - Speeding the Parting Guest. On our return voyage there was—there always is, you know—a woman whom every one was talking about. She was flirting admirably, right and left; and several times a day she astonished us by appearing in gowns of rather too vivid hues. She had singled me out, for special attention, and you can conjecture my astonishment when, just before docking, she came out in wildow's weeds. I sought her at ones and, with much sympathy, asked what it meant. "Why, didn't you know?" she asked gazly—"didn't you know?" I'm bringing him home with me. "Brushing him—" "Yes, my husband,"—seeking my astonishment. "He's below—in the hold," pointing downward with her ungloved jeweled finger.—"New York Times. "Suggestion? Humph! Did you ever hear of a real cure effected by 'suggestion?'" "I personally knew of one. I once suggested, to a young fellow that if he didn't want to have a big dog chasing him off the premises, he'd better quit coming to my house, and it cured him, of the habit." Chicago Tribune.

For instance, In Boston brown eggs bring from one to two cents a dozen more than white ones, while in New Work just the reverse is the case. In Chicago there is little choice be- tween the colors, although one club pays a cont a dozen more for white. ‘Tho poultry raisers must remember that a white egy must be white, not shading to brown, and a brown egg maust be of a rich colar. One enterprising poultryman near the Chicago market grades eggs for color and ships them in baskets hold- ing fifteen dozen ezeh.- On the paper ‘covering the brown BS stencils, “Strictly Choice Brown Eggs.” and upon the covering of the white, “White Leghorn Eggs.” This care always uets iim two gents above the market ‘price for the ordinary “fancy” eggs.—Modern Farm. Cell Eves. Owing to the bright outlook for sheep, many will no doubt be tempted to keep over some old ewes that really ought to be weeded out and fattened and sold. This is all right ina small flock, if a little extra feed and care can be given them, but in a large bunch to do this is a mistake, unless these old or thin ewes are pulled’ out early, given extra feed so as to bring them into winter in good heart, and then kept separated from the stronger sheep during the entire feeding season. ‘To keep over old ewes and Jet them run with the main flock Is generally a grave mls- take. Not infrequently they will dic ‘off just as all the expense and bother of wintering them is about over, and much more is lost than if they had been killed or siven away In the fall. We have made some of the easiest Toney we ever did by buying old ewes of good~framz and heart in the fall, and giving them a little extra attention, roomy, sunlit quarters dud good feed during the winter. This class of ewes, if uniform. of good frame and nourishingly fed, will pro- duce a better lot of lambs than most yearlings.—Dakota Farmer. % Tan Press.

If jthere is anything in the dircetions you don't understand, write and ask the incubator man about it and he will explain the bothersome direction. As a‘general thing, it may be sald ‘that the incubator people are plain and easily understood. Ditterent incubators are built to sa the thermometer ix different parts of the machine and to represent different theories about moisture, neat, efc., and no hard-and?fast rules can Ue laid down except by the maker of the machine, who Is supposed to understand the theory ou which it is built. Therefore, follows his dirce- tions or have his consent to change the method of operating the machine. Running an ipeubator is not a com- pileated affair and requires little, skill and experience. In fact, many of the best hatches are made by begtuners, and simply for the reason that they follow the directions carefully and do not try to experiment with the incu- bator or neglect fo care for it. The smart Aleck who knows more about an incubator in one or two years than the maker learned in a lifetime is Generally the fellow who kicks atout the incubator making poor hatches. It requires more skill to feed and handle hens than it does to get a good batch out of an incubator. Wheit it comes to operating a brooder as suc- cessfully as the old hen raises her chicks you are up against a little harder proposition. “There is no de- nying the fact that tho incubators are developed more than the brooder ‘proposition. Nevertheless, there are many successful brookers on the market, and no one need be afraid to buy an incubator or brooder and fol- low directions.—Indiana ¥armer. Feed When Milking. |. This is @ question some of our. dairysreaders have zsked, and there ‘are various ‘opinions on the subject. Here wo have the views of an old dairyman of experience and observa- tion in a letter to Farm and Home, of England. Ho says: My opinion is that it Is hest not to feed while milking where ‘this can possibly be managed. Many pcople think that while a cow js eating her attention is on the eating and not gn the milking. Quite so; but if a cow fs to give the best results in milking she must be taught to pay attention to being milked; how can she if her attention is fixed on cating? Jt will come naturally to her to give her milk freely. Milking is not natural; neither is housing or feeding, yet cows look forward to housing and feeding time quite naturally, though it Is not natural instinct for them to do so. Just so with milking; the habit ts formed, and it?becomes al- | most as though it was their nature. Well, get them into the habit of pay- ing attention, and you can depend upon their,giving their milk down freely. You can strip them always quite clean, and so develop the milk- ing capacities of your cows. A cow usually gives her milk best when ehe is completely at rest, and this is when she has satisfied ker appetite and is standing stil}, comfortably chewing her cud and looking half asleep. Of course, thera are diMeultics. ‘There is the kicker, the newly. calved heifer, and the newComers Well, it these must be fed during anilkizg, then the practice can be broken when they are quieted down, or when the time of year comes round for them to be turned out to grass, when hand feedizs is ‘not resorted to or fs lessened. Dut if ever there was a way of disturbing cows when in the house for milking, it Is to give a certain one 2mongst them a feed. This diffi- culty can be obviated-by housing the particular one by itself, or where there are several to be’ dealt with, they may be, housed together by themselves. As to cleanliness, it iz }desirable that, to be scrupulously clean, no feeding stlould take place during milking. I have experienced great diffieulties in abstracting the wilk from cows while they were eat- ing, especially those that were not accustomed to it. I have had difi- culties in persuading cows to let down their milk, both when they were feeding and when they were standing apparently comfortable, chewing the cud, especially so at this time of year, when there seams to be a natural tendency to dry. In this the oaly remedy is to ‘have them niilked regu- larly, and jasist on their being stripped clean. * = Hvndreds of the houses of, Minne- apolis and St. Paul are equipped with outdoor open bedrooms; where ‘ihé owners sleep in the coldest weather.

Rockefeller was made public here, ‘Tho story seems incredible, but ‘thorough investigation by the’ New York American's correspondent shows: Z ‘That Harold Sawyer Smith, the man who revealed the alleged plot, 1s a mill owner of Minerva, Stark Coun- ty, Ohfo, s man of means and whose responsiblity {s vouched for by Chief of Police W. H. Smith, of Canton. That the polfce chiefs of several Ohio cities have taken Mr. Smith's story seriously. ‘That, according to Mr. Smith, Mr. Rockefeller himself declared his be- lef in Mr. Smith's narration, One Principal, Two Hirelings, The alleged plotters are three in number, so far as known, one prin- cipal and two hirelings. ‘Mr. Smith .gays he pverheard a conversation bec tween the hirelings at Alllance on Sunday night and that they referred to the man who hired them as “BIII,” a man of money. ‘Mr. Smith, accompanied by James Stamberger, chief of the East Cleve- Jand police, told the story of the al- Jeged plot to the master of the Stand- ard Ol! In the Forest Hill living room. Guards about the estate were doubled and plans were made for what ap- years to be a hasty departure for Pocantico Hilts. ‘Mr. Rockefeller was scheduled to speak that night at the banquet of the Men's Club of the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church, known as Rockefel- ler's church. He had accepted the invitation only last Friday. He failed to appear, but sent word that he must pack for ‘his intended departure for the East. Mrs. Rockefeller, whose illness has delayed’ the usual October start for the East, was willing to attempt the journey.’ She is in better health than for several months. When the party. of three—Mr. Rockefeller, Mrs: Rockefeller and the former's secre- tary—boarded the private car Brook- line at the East 105th street station of the New York Central Line at 3.45 o’ctock this afternoon the little group at the depot was half made up of de- tectives in plain clothes. The rest of the Rockefeller party, contrary to custom, had been sent’ to the Union station. Dodges Camera at Depot. _ ‘Mr. Rockefeller alighted from his motor car for a moment. A photog- rapher almed a camera at him, and ‘the jumped {nto the auto and ordered 4t Kept moving down the street at a swift pace until the train's arrival. ‘Meanwhile a police search fs being made for the men described by Mr. Smith. He told tho story first to the Canton police chief, was sent to Chief Kohler, of Cleveland, and then ta Chief Stamberger, of East Cleveland, who took him to Forest Hill. His story follows: “T was visiting in Alllarce Sunday. ‘About §.45 p. m, I started for the church to meet my brother. I walked * Chicago—In the hunting season recently closed thé number of dead reached 20 and the injured 43. In 1908, 57 were killed; in 1907, $2, and ‘In 1906, 74. Wisconsin’ and npper Michigan ‘continue to furnish the-greatest number of victims. Included in this year’s fatal accl- dents are several well known men. Sor. John R. More, surgeon for the ‘Gaited states" Steel Corporation, was killed at Ironwood, Bich, H. L. Bacon, also a physician, died from an accident at New London, Wis., and John G. Hoetzel, a real estate man of ‘Milwaukee, was’ killed on 2 hunting trip. Several cases were reported where the careless marksmen angered other ‘hunters by firing at them, and were themselves frightened by a return fire, It 1s so generally known in the ‘Wisconsin woods that any person who 4s fired upon by mistake for a deer will try to shoat the careless marks- man that the hunters are careful to make no mistake in what they are shooting at. Each year, however, Pullman Company Ordered by Mex-- 7 fico to Get Ria of Americans. Mexico City.—The Government has notified the Pullman Company that it must replace all of its American and negro conductors and porters upon its cars In Mexico With Mexicans as rap- idly as possible, Some ‘time ago an order was issued that all conductors and porters upon cars of*this company operated upon Mexican rafircads must be able ‘to speak Spanish. The latest order of the Government is in line with the ‘‘:ovement to Mexicanize the roads, _ up a rallroad track near the church and stopped when I heard somo one talking Jn a dark shed. One voles “I don’t seo why we camo here from Pittsburg. We might have walted until to-morrow and gone to Canton to meet Bill. We might as well get our money for killing old John D. We will get what {s coming to us, whether we kill him or kidnap him.” Bill and the other fellow have Plenty of money and are willing to pay well for putting old Rockefeller out of the way.’ “I sneaked around to head the fel- lows off, to get a good look at them. I stumbied as I was getting away, be- cause it was dark. They saw me, but Y hurried along and headed them off around the next block. I had a good look at both of them. They recog- nized me and remarked that they haa seen me before, but I hurried along and pald no attention. “Monday I went to Canton and told ‘Chief of Polico H. W. Smith. I ex- pected to come to Cleveland Monday, and Chief Smith insisted that I tell Chief Kohler. I saw him Monday night. He took the matter up with Chief Stamberger, in East Clevéland. He svas creatly interested. “Stamberger insisted that I accom- pany him to Forest Hill to tell John D. just what I heard. I did not like to, but consented when he insisted. L told Jobn D. just what I heard and Rockefeller told me he belfeved me and asked that I remain In Cleveland Tuesday to make {dentification in case arrests were made. I told hini I was doing this for principle and re- fused when he offered to pay my exy penses while in Cleveland. I am £ responsible man and did not com) here with an imaginary story, for tha sake of notoriety or gait. I would not .bave como here except that my business called me here anywey. I Preferred to leave the matter in the hands of the Canton police.” Bears a Good Reputation. Canton, Ohto.—Harold Sawyer Smith bears 2 good reputation in Min- erva and Canton. Here he is known to several lawyers and physiclans who Vouch for his Integrity. He is a man of family, the son-in-law of Edward Tillett, Well-known lumber dealer, with whom ho lives one and one-half miles east of Minerva. ‘William H. Smith, foreman in the Morgan Engineering Works, in Alll- ance, is the brother Smith was visit: ing Sunday. He also has.a brother= jo-law in Alliance, Montgomery Til- lett, proprietor of a shooting gallery. Chiet Smith, of the Canton police, has complete faith that Smith fs tell- ing the truth. “He was recommended to me by A. H. Elllott, an attorney of this city. He told his story in a straightforward manner. In detail it has not varied ‘since it was first re- lated, although he has repeated it a number of thmes. I am coavinced he is not drawing on his imagination.” Smith returned to Canton full of praise for Rockefeller. “He is one of the finest men I ever iad the pleasure eee ee een there is a new crop of city hunters, who have to learn these dangers all over, and it is these hunters who fre- quently cause the fatal accidents. ‘The majority of the victims were shot by companions.

Vaults of State Banks Show Prosperity. $100,000,000 ON DEPOSIT Bank Statements Show a Gain of One Hundred PorCent in Cash Wealth. Result of 15 Cent Cotton, Atlanta, Ga-—In approximately 500 state banks doing business in Geor- sia today, there is deposited to the credit of Georgians nearly $100,000, 000, an increase In deposit accounts of more than 100 per cent in twelve months, . A splendid illustration of the dif. ference between 9 and 15-cent cot. on ‘This marvelous increase in actual cash wealth in the state is indicated 4o tho official bank statements show. ing the condition of the Georgia banks at the close of business on November 16, the majority of which have beon Feceived in the office of State Treas- ‘prer: and State Bank Examiner J. Pope Brown. | Tho last official statement of 1908 bore the datesot November 27 some ten days later then that of the stato- Ment called for this year, but tne dates are close enough to admit of interesting comparison. The total deposits in state banks November 27, 1908, were $46,970, £9.68. The accurate figures for 1908 wil not be available for several weeks Yet, as.all of the statements have not yet beon recelved, and the compila- tlon of them Is 4 tremendous work after thoy are all in hand. Bat from the figures furnished the bank examiner it has been found that the total deposits subject to check in 128 state banks, about one-fourth of the entire number, aggregate $25,117, 053. ‘Theso 128 banks were selected at random, and eaclr of them-fs in a diferent Georgla county; so it will be seen that the state's prosperity is widespread and general. » Upon the basis of these figures, ‘which do not include deposits in the shape of time certificates, amounting to a considerable sum, {t's apparent that the total deposits in Goorgia’s state banks will reach the figure atat- ed—nearly $10,000,000. In adidtion to the foregoing Geor- gia has about 110 national banks. In 1908, November, 27, the total doposits in these national banks approximated $30,000,000. ‘There is every indication thet thelr deposits have increased tn Uke proportion, and that the totat cash deposits in Georgia today, or upon November 16, to be more accu- rate, aggregated the magnificent sum of $160.000,000. In other words, Georgians have just about twice as much avaflable cash today as they had twelve months ago, all of.which is a remarkablo tribute to the agricultural productivity of the state. : ‘This growth 1s not confined to any one section, The bank whose depos- {ts do not show a heatlhy increase take it wherever you will in the stato, is a rarity. Naturally, however, the greatest percentage of increase is found in some sections of South Georgia, where crops met with no un- favorable conditions, and there was a full yield of cotton ready for the mar- ket at highest cash price.

GEORGIA LEADS. Disuiing. . Washington, D. C-—fhe annual re- Bort of the commissioner of internal revenue discloses slmost startling facts bearing on the prohibition law, which 1s supposed to be in effect in /Georgia. This report furnishes the yery-interesting information that the federal government ttrouga the bu- ‘reau of internal revenue, issued re- ‘tail Nquor Ucense for the fiscal year ending June 30 of the present year to 1,081 dealers. But this is not all. Ia prohibition Georgia the report dis- closes the fact that 18 wholesale H- quor dealers’ licenses were issued dur- ing the past year. ‘A resort to the records of the com- missioner of internal revenue shows that there has beon comparatively lit- tle diminution in the tssuance of fed- eral License for the dispensation of booze since the operation of stato- wide prohibition. In 1907, which was prior to the enactment of the state prohibition law, the number of retall liquor dealers Icensed by’ the federal government numbered 1,427, and the wholesalers wero 105. In that year the retallers of malt liquor author- fzed to do business in the state were only 207. Prohibition laws seem to make this class of wet goods dispen- sers,thrive. Last year the retall malt liquor dealers authorized to do busl- ness in the state had reached the grand total of 1,521. rom @ group of 207 to more ‘th 0 within a period of two years rely going some. But the 18 wholesaleweduor dealers and the 1,091 retailers, who made a mockery of prohibition in Georgia last year, do not tell the whole story. Tne report of the commissioner of inter- nal revenue discloses the fact that two grain distilleries were registered in the state last year, and, in addi tion, one more was operated. Georgia holds the palm for illicit distilling, while North Carolina runs a close socond. In Georgia last year 394 Wicit distiilerios were seized and 828 destroyed. In North Carolina 212 were seized and 374 destroyed. Ala bama is third in the race, with 173 seized and 231 destroyed. There were 24 registered distilleries,reported for seizure in North Csrolfna. 2 @ e Job Printing | — 1G NEXT TO NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING, ¢ - THE BEST ADVERTISING IN THE WORLD. @ We have been very fortunate in @ securing the services of one of the € 5 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 to be the, finest > and the prices the lowest of any $ @ printers anywhere. : e Not necessary to own a printing office or bé a, printer to publish a newspaper.
