IS -BEING INCREASED Farmer Now Raises 250 Bushels of Potatoes Where He Formerly Could Only Grow 20. New York City—How gratifying it be to the farmers through the entry to know that the United States government is spending in neighborhood of $18,000,000 every ear on experimental work looking hard increasing the yield and ef- ficiency of the farms of the United States. this money is not expended in polish experiments, but all investigations are made under the personal supervision of experienced departmental heads. Secretary Wilson is practical man and requires results from all lines of investigation. Every avenue of trade is covered because the farmer is largely dependent upon him for his success. His prosperity ultimately brings profitable results to all other lines of business. Recently a railroad official said the United States government could be afforded to invest the cost of one battleship in agricultural experiment work than to spend it in increasing navy. A first-class battleship was about $3,000,000. Secretary Wilson decided that a statement might to be issued telling about the great work which his department is doing. Copies of the report can be aid by applying to the department of agriculture of Washington. This report tells of an instance where a farmer was raising only twenty bushels of potatoes to an acre, and who satisfied, appealed to the agricultural department for assistance and advice. Both were given and now this farmer is raising fifty bushels of potatoes to an acre where he formerly could only grow twenty. The department supplied him with seed and information how, to plant the potatoes. This is only given as one of many illustrations to prove the efficient work being done. Public Men Believe Teachings of Jesus Are Dominant in Politics of Chicago, Ill—Men of prominence international politics believe that the teachings of Jesus Christ are more dominant in public affairs today than when they entered active life, according to questions read before the Lymouth League of the Oak Park congregational Church. Two questions were sent to sixty leading men of the nation by Bruce Barton, president of the league, early in December. One related to the dominance of the spirit of Christianity. The other was "is it an advantage or a disadvantage for a public man to be known as a professing Christian?" One of the first to answer was Jas. S. Sherman, vice president of the United States. "To your first inquiry," said the vice president, "I beg to answer that it is my belief that with the progress of education and civilization throughout the world, the spirit of Jesus becomes more dominant not only in business or in politics alone, but in the smaller affairs of every day life. "In answering your second question, I hate to believe, and I do not believe, that it is disadvantageous to any man in any calling to be a professing Christian. I am firm in the conviction that the time will never come in this country when a man in high position will hesitate to reply frankly and freely to such questions as you propound." Among others who answered the questions, expressing belief in the growth of Christianity and its influence in public affairs, was Speaker Joseph G. Cannon. "Northern Lights" Caused by Gas Styled "Neon," Say Scientists. Boston, Mass.—Neon, a newly-discovered gas, is the cause of the aurora borealis, according to a statement made by Dr. W. L. Dudley, head of the department of chemistry at Vanderbilt University, at Nashville, Dr. Dudley showed what he claimed to be the only sample of neon in this country. It requires over 100 tons of air to get a pint of neon. Dr. Dudley has discovered that the friction of neon against mercury in a Crooke's tube produces a yellow light and when held near a wireless coll, hertzian waves illuminate the gas. Dr. Dudley's conclusions are that at the magnetic poles of the earth, neon under high pressure because of the cold, is acted upon by magnetic currents, thus producing the aurora borealis, a phenomenon that has always puzzled scientists. Government Official Points Out a Serious Danger. Washington, D. C.—That half of the meat eaten in the United States can be called uninspected and that a serious danger to the public exists as a result, is one of the conclusions reached by Dr. A. D. Melyn, cafer of the United States bureau of animal industry, in his annual report. Inefficiency of the government inspection, because of its lack of authority to reach business done entirely within a state, is given as one of the causes, and Dr. Melyn points out the need to supplementing the government inspection of meats with state and municipal inspections. CHRIST'S TEACHINGS NEEDED. CAUSE OF AURORA BOREALIS MEAT NOT INSPECTED. The HIGH COST OF LIVING Investigation of Increase to Be Made by the United States Government the United States Government. Washington, D. C. The increased cost of living was the subject of a concurrent resolution offered in the house by Representative Hull of Tennessee. It provides for a joint committee of seven members of the house and five members of the senate to investigate conditions and report upon them, and as to what remedies may be effected through legislation. The resolution sets forth that during the past twelve months there has been a rise in the prices of commodities of from 11 to 30 per cent and during the past thirteen years of more than 55 per cent, which is entirely disproportionate to the increase in wages, making it difficult for millions of people to procure food, clothing and shelter consistent with their needs. The resolution charges the Payne tariff bill with being a large factor in the rise of prices of necessities through permitting trusts to monopolize products and raise prices. Sugar, meats, woolen and cotton goods, wearing apparel in general and, in fact, most of the necessities of life are mentioned as being extortionately increased in price. In consonance with the resolution introduced by Representative Hull, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has ordered a sweeping inquiry into the cost of living in the United States. "I realize," said Secretary Wilson, "that we have undertaken a big contract, but we can carry it out. We have the men and we have the money, to paraphrase a famous statement, and the work will be done thoroughly." MORSE IN PRISON. Convicted Banker and Millionaire, is Now Behind the Bars. Atlanta, Ga—Faultlessly groomed, robust and smiling, Charles W. Morse, convicted banker, reached Atlanta to begin the service at the Federal penitentiary of his sentence of fifteen years. Walking with a slight limp the financier stepped quickly along between the two deputies of New York district, who conducted the distinguished prisoner to the Atlanta penitentiary. Hereafter he will be known as Convict 2814, which was the number assigned to aim by the warden at the penitentiary. SPINNERS'WOULD CONTROL PRICES. Schedule of Prices, Adopted by the Charlotte Convention. Charlotte, N. G.-Determined, if possible, to bring about improved conditions in the great industry they represent, the spinners of the south, in conference here, launched an enthusiastic movement to scotch the prices of yarns at cost, curtailing immediately in the event that the cost prices are not procurable, pleading the return of better times in the status of the industry. New Railroad Planned Charlotte, N. C.-It is stated on reliable authority that in May work will begin on 2 new railroad from North Wilkesboro, N. C., to Butler, Tenn., a distance of 90 miles. Frank A. Linney Ed Coffey and other men of means in Western North Carolina are behind the project, and have expended already $200,00 in securing rights-of-way, under the name of the Watauga Railroad Company. This link will, pass through Lonoir and will connect the Soutaern Railway with the coal fields of Tennessee and Virginia by the most direct route. D. O. Mills Dead. San Francisco, Cal.-Darius Ogden Mills, philanthropist and financier, father of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, wife of the ambassador to Great Britain, director in many corporations, died at his winter home near here of heart disease. He was 84 years old. One of Mr. Mills' notably philanthropic enterprises was the establishment of the chain of hotels, the name of which is familiar the country over as the "Mills Hotels." These hotels were intended as places where meals and lodgings could be furnished respectable men at nominal prices. I. L. S. To Welcome Peace Plans. Washington, D. C.—This government will welcome any advances which may be made by Brazil for the purpose of establishing a working agreement between that country and the United States regarding Latin-American affairs. This statement has been made to Central American diplomats by the department of state. 6 Car Tickets for 25 Cents Illegal. Washington, D. G.—The Minneapolis city council ordinance requiring the street railway company of that city to sell six tickets for a quarter was held invalid by the supreme court of the United States. Wholesale Warrants for Liquor Dealers Nashville, Tenn. — One hundred more warrants were taken out by Attorney General McCarn, charging violation of the 4-mile liquor law and tipping without a license. This brings the number of similar warrants taken out within a week to something over two hundred. New Cancer Treatment Manila, P. I—Great hopes are entertained for the success of cancer treatment which was announced before the Manila Medical Society. The treatment consists in making the patient immune from further progress of the disease by use of vaccine prepared from his own cancer. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1910. TO STOP TOBACCO WAR ALLEGE RESTRAINT OF TRADE The National Government Will Begin Proceedings Against the Burley' Tobacco Company. Washington, D. C. -The government is preparing to go after the night riders in the tobacco district of Kentucky and Tennessee by beginning proceedings against the Burley Tobacco Society. Convinced that the society is a combination and a conspiracy in restraint of trade under the Sherman ant-trust law, the department of justice is investigating its operations on that ground. Agents have recently been sent to the tobacco-growing regions for the purpose of making inquiry concerning the methods of the association, and they have reached the conclusion that the organization is connected with the degrades of the night riders, who recently have created so much disturbance in that section. The Burley Society is a strong organization, composed largely of farmers, and it is believed that when taken, the government's action will create a sensation. The company, the members of the society charge, systematically depressed the market for Kentucky and Tennessee tobacco, and kept prices down to the lowest point. Further justification for the creation of the society is set forth in the statement that the so-called tobacco trust has driven down its price on raw tobacco, while making no reductions in the finished products sold by it and manufactured from the Kentucky and Tennessee leaf. Lexington, Ky.-President Clarence Lebus of the Burley Tobacco Society refused to discuss the report from Washington that the federal government would prosecute the organization of the tobacco growers as a trust. Otter officials of the society declared they had nothing to fear from a non-partisan investigation, if conducted on judicial lines. FARMERS FAIL TO GET PROFITS High Prices of Food Not Caused by Producer. Washington, D. C. "We have already discovered that the farmer is not getting the exorbitant profits out of the beef he raises." said Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture, in discussing the price of food supplies. "I have no doubt in the world," he continued, "that the same conditions will be found to prevail in most of the other lines of farm products. "The department of agriculture has agents in every state and every county in the country, and they have been ordered to report on the cost of production and the return on sales of all sorts of food products. As fast as we receive these figures we will compare them with the prices the same products bring in the cities where they are consumed. We will then give the facts to the public. "We intend to bring out the truth, irrespective of whom it hurts or whom it benefits. I am convinced that the public is compelled to pay a great deal more for nearly everything it eats than it should, and I believe the figures will bear me out. "There is ample excuse for some of the increase in the cost of living over what it was years ago. The farm area is not keeping pace with the demands for foodstuff. The cities seem to have more attractions for the laboring man than do the rural communities. The horde of immigration, as well as the ever-increasing native population, must be fed, and the farm is expected to furnish the food." NEGROES TO HELP IN CENSUS. Both White and Colored Enumerators In South. Washington, D. C.-Predicting that the coming count will show approximately 10,000,000 negroes in the United States, directing that negroes be selected to count their race in those enumeration districts where blacks muster two-fifths or more of the population, and requiring both white and negro enumerators in many southern districts to preclude negroes from enumerating whites, Census Director Durand issued general instructions to supervisors: "Negroes doubtless can obtain the information required from their own race more accurately than white enumerators," says Mr. Durand. "I do not consider it desirable that in the south negroes enumerate white families. In the south negro enumerators would not be able to obtain as accurate statistics regarding the white population as white enumerators could." TAFT IS ADAMANT. President Interviewed by Railroad Men About Proposed Laws. Washington, D. C.—With the avowed purpose of blocking any legislation in congress on the subject of interstate commerce, six railroad presidents, President Lovett of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, President McHean of the New York, New Haven and Hartford, President Finley of the Southern, President Brown of the New York Central and Hudson River, President McCrea of the Pennsylvania and President Baer of the Reading held a conference with President Taft. The president was not moved and still favors legislation objectable to the railroad magnates. 14,974,448 SOLDIERS. That Many [Fighting Men Available in The United States Washington, D. C. — Satisfactory conformity by January 21 with the Dick militia law, so as to enable all the states and territories to share in the amounts appropriated by congress for the maintenance of the organized militia, is predicated by Lieutenant Colonel Weaver, chief of the division of militia affairs, in his annual report to the secretary of war. This law requires that the organization of the militia by that date must be the same as that of the regular army, if it is to patriculate in the federal funds. Only the states of Pennsylvania and Delaware were reported as not conforming, with the exception of the bands, and in those states he believes conditions will conform by January 21. The strength of the organized militie of the several states and territories last spring was fixed at 118,925 officers and enlisted men. An estimate is made that there are in the United States 14,747,448 males available for military duty. It is announced that hereafter two militia inspections will be conducted annually. That in the spring will be made to determine the sufficiency and the condition of armament and equipment of the troops; the other, during the period of encampment, to determine their efficiency for field duty. In commenting on the reported hardships experienced by the militiamen last summer in the maneuvers in Massachusetts, Colonel Weaver says that "a careful examination of the conditions does not reveal that there was anything particularly different, from the hardship resulting from the exigencies of the situation. MONEY IN TREASURY COUNTED. Not a Cont Found -Misleading From the United States Treasury. Washington, D. C.—To count the coins and securities in the United States treasury it has taken a committee of four persons, supervising from thirty to forty counting experts, almost two months. Upon the retirement of Charles H. Treat, as treasurer, it became necessary for a counting of the contents of the vaults to be made, and the incoming treasurer, Lee McClung, gave receipt for all valuable. Mr. McClung will give to Mr. Treat a receipt for $1,259,001, 756, 37 2-3, the exact contents of the treasury. Not a cent was found to be missing from Uncle Sam's pocketbook. It was the quickest count ever made by the treasury, and was absolutely necessary before Mr. Treat could be relieved of the responsibility of the office. Newsy Paragraphs. Stella Josephine Feller of Harris county, Texas, earned $150,000 in a single afternoon recently by marking down two oil wells. She has been so successful in discovering oil that she has almost daily offers of tens of thousands of dollars in fees for special work. The $150,000 fee was paid by ten men, who owned a small tract and had failed to strike oil. They offered Miss Feller the $150,000 if she would discover two productive wells, and she selected two spots after a few hours of surveying. Pipes were sunk, and in each case a gusher was truck. Miss Feller also has been remarkably successful in discovering sulphur beds. She has made a fortune in oil wells of her own and in fees, and now is expending $500,000 on an orphan syllum in Beaumont. It is reported in Charlotte, N. C., that the Dukes have in contemplation the building shortly of some twenty or more big cotton mills along the banks of the Catawba river. Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan, and Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, mistress of millions, appeared as duly authorized labor leaders charged with the responsibility of directing in part at least the strike of forty thousand girl shirtwait makers in New York. A statement was given out to the public saying that these society leaders will provide aid and legal defense for all members of the union who are arrested. A French financier, who is familiar with the/Congo and other business operations of the late King-Leopold of Belgium, estimates, the morarch's private fortune at $50,000,000 in excess of the $3,000,000 bequeathed to the princesses. Lawyers anticipate much litigation over the property, Princess Anna of Lowenstein-Worthen, has patented, under the name of Yarma, an invention to prevent sea sickness by keeping the berths horizontal no matter how the ship may roll. The balance is maintained by gimbels similar to those on marine compasses but the princess also employs magnets and electricity. The inventor believes the principle is adaptable to guns on warships and operating tables in hospital ships. William M. Annis, the publisher who was slain by Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr., at the Bayside Yacht club, in August, 1908, left an estate valued at only $300 according to the report just placed on file in New York City. The chief item in the assets is $150, the proceeds of the catboat in which Annis was standing when shot down by the army officer. The National Power Boat, association has offered a $500 gold trophy to the first motor moat making the hazardous trip through the whirlpool rapids below Niagara Falls, and power boat enthusiasts have added a cash prize of $1,000. The trip has been made but once, and then by a large steamer, the Mald of the Mist. A YEAR OF PROSPERITY PEACE AND PROGRESS Washington, D. C.—The sentiment is almost universal that the year 1910 will be a year of unequaled prosperity for the United States, and in all other ways the outlook is unusually bright. With great crops, factories and mills working on fulltime great humanitarian movements have taken hold and vigor. All along the line there is every reason for a thoroughly hopeful view, and the statesmen, with hardly an exception, are pronounced optimists. Here is what some of the nation's leaders have to say: President William H. Taft: "That 1910 will be a year of progress and prosperity seems certain. All that is needed to make it so is for the American to do his duty manfully." Vice President James Sherman: "We can all greet 1910 with cheerful hope. So far as I can see, there's no cloud on the nation's horizon." Secretary of the interior Bailinger: It is most essential to secure a substantial return to fundamental principles in our republican form of government." Secretary of Agriculture Wilson: "Some times I run out of clipsers with which to finish up the statements of the substantial products of our soil. There is not much chance for the simile in country so rich as this, I don't count a better wish for the whole nation than that the pessimist may find it harder than ever during the coming year to provide a satisfactory excuse for continuing in circulation." Senator Johnson of Alabama: "The outlook is bright for the whole country, and particularly for the south. I look for great industrial development in my own state during 1910." Senator Clay of Georgia: "I trust the whole country may be as happy and prosperous as the people of Georgia." Senator Bourne of Oregon: "Peace, progress and prosperity—it seems to me is a fine watchword with which to start off the new year." Senator Taylor of Tennessee: "The outlook is bright, and I see reason to believe that the end of the year will be even brighter for the American people." Senator Money of Mississippi: "Mississippi is in line with the balance of the country looking to 1910 as a year of prosperity." Representative Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of the appropriations committee; "I think the American people have a bright year ahead of them. Our industries are booming and there is every reason to believe that they will continue to do so during the year 1910. It is gratifying to observe that President Taft's policy of economy is being carried out by the various branches of the government. With prosperity on the one hand and economy on the other hand, the country should make a good showing in 1910." Representative Clark, Missouri, minority leader: "On this gladsome new year season, to borrow the language of General Zachary Taylor in his first and only annual message to congress, we have a right to felicitate ourselves on the fact that we are at peace with all the nations of the earth and the rest of creation. In fact, we have many things for self-congratulation, chief of which is the very bountiful crop of almost every sort with which we were blessed last year. Though the cost of living is extremely high, most of us will be exempt from starvation during the coming year. While the prospects for remedial legislation this session of congress is not especially bright, we may confidently hope that it will not long be postponed. A survey of the world for the last year, particularly our own part of it, will convince any rational man that the world is growing better. For all of which we should be duly thankful." Senator Hughes of Colorado: "While the American people have many problems to solve, I firmly believe in their capacity to solve them. Admiral Robley D. Evans, United States Navy; "For the new year I would commend to the people of the United States due consideration of the fact that the whole world is in an attitude of armed neutrality, with all the most progressive powers increasing their armaments as fast as they can, and suggest the sentiment in connection with the condition of an expanding naval construction program, based on the determined policy of maintaining a thoroughly effective two-ocean navy." WITNESS SHOT FROM AMBUSH. Alabama Man Was Witness in the Night Rider Case. Mobile, Ala—James Middleton, farmer, of Loxley, La, considered an important witness in the famous Comstock night rider case of Baldwin county, Alabama, which is to be tried in the United States district court at Mobile some time this month, was ambushed near his home. He died while being brought to Mobile for surgical attention. At the time of the shooting, Middleton, accompanied by William Wade, was in a buggy when two shots from a rifle were fired in the darkness, one bullet striking Middleton in the abdomen. NO.16. LATE NEWS NOTES. Abraham Lincoln's old law office was burned at Danville, Ill. The building, which he used when riding circuit as an attorney, was used as a museum in late years. Some of the relics were civil war shells which exploded in the fire. Embodied in the forthcoming report of the New York state racing commission will be a statement taken from the books of the various racing associations to the effect that the state has lost more than $200,000 by the operations of the anti-race track gambling laws. Before the passage of these laws the state collected a 5 per cent tax on the receipts of the association. In 1907 the most prosperous year of the turf here, more than $250,000 was paid over to the state under this tax law. The trustees of the Carnegie institute have decided to withdraw the $10,000 annual support of the organization from Luther Burbank, the plant wizard of Santa Rosa. Word to this effect comes from Washington, where the trustees of the Carnegie institute recently convened. The commercialism which, it is alleged, has been a feature of the experiments of Luther Burbank, is given as the cause. The special committee of Copenhagen university, which investigated Dr. Frederick A. Cook's polar-records, is now considering whether or not it will publish a second report, giving further details of its work. If the committee should decide to do so, it will issue the report about the middle of January. A member of the committee said that some of the details of Cook's narrative of his expedition were fabricated and his papers showed that he had used calculations furnished by Captain Loose. The second report, he argued, would present evidence to that effect. A child born recently to the wife of A. A. Dunn of Haton Rouge, La., forty-nine years old, makes his thirtieth child. Of the thirty children there are seven sets of twins. Three wives are mothers of the children. By his first marriage twelve children were born, among whom were three sets of twins. By his second marriage ten children were born, among whom were four pairs of twins. By his third wife eight children were born. All the children are now alive. The oldest is 25 years of age. Possibilities almost unbelievable in wireless telegraph are developing daily in New Orleans. John Munkeford, operator for the United States Wireless company, says no development in wireless now surprises him. From New Orleans to Chicago is a long distance and this has been about the limit that the New Orleans station has been able to go, but Mumford, while sitting in his office heard a call and jumped to the machine. He thought at first it was Mobile calling, but much to his surprise, it was New York communicating with Chicago. This is a record for the land stations, and proves that messages can soon be flashed through the air to New York from New Orleans. Washington. In the south and west, and particularly in cities, there is a shortage of men willing to earn government money as census enumerators. The enumerator receives so much per name, or per day, depending on his territory, and earns on the average $60 for his entire work. In cities of over five thousand inhabitants the enumerator must finish his work in two weeks, but elsewhere one month is allowed. Time for applications for these jobs expires January 25 next. President Taft has almost completed a special message he will send to congress when that body recevens recommending legislation he desires on interstate commerce law and the Sherman anti-trust act. It has frequently been decided in the press that Mr. Taft has any idea of recommending changes in the Sherman anti-trust act. He has nevertheless told some of his callers that he means to stand firm in his determination to urge upon congress the enactment of a national incorporation act. Admiral George Dewey celebrated the seventy-second anniversary of his birth the day after Christmas. Except for a flood of telegrams and personal messages of congratulations, nothing disturbed the serenity of the Dewey household. The admiral has not been in especially good health for some time, and, therefore, all of his engagements were waived. Representative Lloyd of Missouri chairman of the democratic congressional campaign committee, when he returns next week, will call a meeting of the executive committee to discuss plans for the next campaign. The democrats are confident of electing a majority to the next house and say that to make assurance doubly sure they will start in early on a campaign of education. Unless the state department is able to show that it has received assurances from the Mexican government that James A. Cook, the American conductor now in prison there, will be given a speedy trial, it is probable that the whole question of the treatment accorded American citizens in Mexico will be aired on the floor of the house. It is possible that a resolution of inquiry will be introduced. Harvey Wiley, chief chemist of the department of agriculture, is reported to be seriously considering the ad- visibility of resigning his office. He is said to be much plued because President Taft overruled his decision upon the question, "What is Whiskey?" Treasury of State of Georgia Illinois JAN 17 1808 190 The undersigned Treasurer of the State of Georgia, hereby acknowledges to have received份件 from the following: Dear Reginald P. Brown, Elsie T. Eugene (Signature) 17010, member of the General Assembly (Signature) long as 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, 1877. R. E. Paoli Treasurer of the State of Georgia. Penalty For Violation of State Laws. Still in Force. OPIONION OF ATTY. GEN.HART No License Can Be Issued to Sell Near Beer Outside Towns With Less Than 2,500 Inhabitants. Atlanta, Ga—According to an opinion furnished to Comptroller General W. A. Wright by Attorney General John C. Hart, the penalty for violation of the state laws regulating the sale of near beer still sticks, and anyone who attempts to run counter to them may find himself doing time for a misdemeanor. A member of the general assembly recently raised the point that inasmuch as the near beer section of the general tax act of 1910 carried no penalty with it, it would be impossible for any person to open a near beer place at any point in the state outside of cities and towns of 2,500 inhabitants without subjecting himself to punishment therefor. Directly and positively to the contrary, asserts Judge Hart. For the penalty section of the near beer act of September, 1308, is still in force; not having been repealed by the near beer section of the new general tax act. Alco, Judge Hart holds that no license can be issued to sell near beer outside the limits of incorporated cities or towns of 2,500 inhabitants or more according to the last census, under any circumstances. SENATOR CLAY ILL Enters Atlanta Sanitarium and Will Take Rest Cure Atlanta, Ga—Senator A. S. Clay, accompanied by his son, came to Atlanta from his Marietta home and went to a sanitarium where he will remain for some time for rest and treatment. Senator Clay has been in ill health for some time, and as he has not covered as rapidly as his family and friends thought he should, they became considerably worried about him. It is said to be Senator Clay's purpose to follow his rest here with a course of treatment at Johns Hopkins, and temporarily give up his labors until his health is better established. Senator Clay has always been a hard worker, and that is believed to have much to do with his present condition. His friends believe that with the proper rest and treatment, his recovery will be speedy and complete, and this earnest hope for his early recovery will be everywhere expressed. :SPLENDID SUMTER COUNTY ROAD. Highway From Americus to Plains Has Been Completed- SOL. C. JOHNSON, Supt. of Ageno soon possess a splendid highway to Andersonville, twelve miles from Americus. With the completion of the superb road of twelve miles connecting Americus and the flourishing town of Plains, the entire convict force of a hundred men will be con- contrated upon the Andersonville road, which will cost the county, perhaps, $20,000. The road to Plains, just completed and officially opened has been in process of construction five months and cost probably $30,000, including one steel bridge. It is a fine addition to Sumter county's net-work of magnificent highways, surpassed by those of no other county in Georgia. LANDMARK BURNED. Inglehurst, in Twiggs County, destroyed by Fire. Jeffersonville, Fla—Inglehurst, the ante-bellum home of the Wimberlys, in Twiggs county, has been burned. This means the passing of another central Georgia landmark, noted for generations for its unlimited hospitality. It was the ancestral home of Minter Wimberly of Macon; Mrs. R. O. Campbell, Miss Clara Wimberly, Mrs. Isolene Robbins, of Selma, Ala., and the late Dr. Warren Wimberly. After the civil war it was occupied by their father, Captain Fred D. Wimberly. Prior to the war Twiggs county was one of the most aristocratic communities in the state and numbered among its families the Travers Colquitts, Wimberlys, Slappeys Soilons, Bunns, Glovers and Faulks. In fact, it might be said that the county was owned by these families, each of which had its establishment commensurate with the customs of tea day. Inglehurst was conspicuous area teturally, representing the true clement type. $18,000 FOR LIQUOR. Ruching Business at Americus During the Holidays. Americus, Ga—Fifteen thousand dollars approximately represents the money order business done through the past three weeks for shipments of whiskey here from Jacksonville and Louisville. Frequently during the holiday season the daily money order business exceeded $1,200. With individual bank checks sent away, it is estimated the whiskey shipments here recently exceeded $18,000. HOOK WORM CONFERENCE To Ee Held in Atlanta January 18 and 19. Atlanta, Ga.—It has been decided to hold the sessions of the Hookworan Conference, conducted under the auspices of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, in the ball room of the New Kimball, on January 18 and 19. The Rockefeller commission, appointed under the donation of John D. Rockefeller, will be in attendance upon this conference. The full program for this interesting meeting has been outlined. The firecracker is the pirate of peace. MORE MONEY FOR TEACHERS Total of 1909 Fund Paid Educators Exceeds 75 Per Cent. Atlanta, Ga. — Upon consultation with the state treasury officials Governor Brown ascertained that he could still further increase the amount to be paid to the school teachers of the state at once. Upon the strength of the assurances received from the treasury department, he ordered additional payments amounting to 10 per cent of the school fund, making a total of about 76 per cent of the 1909 school fund of $2,250,000, to be paid out during 1909. Every county in the state is now entitled to receive up to 76 per cent of its share of the school fund for the year, and nothing but failure on the part of the county school commissioner to send in the required statements will prevent them from getting it. The total payments from the 1909 school fund for the year will aggregate $1,710,000, provided all the counties take what is coming to them and what the treasury is now ready to pay upon demand. Nothing like this result has before been known in the history of the state school system, with an indebtedness to the teachers of only 24 per cent carried over into the following year. And the indications are now that they will not have to wait long after the first of the year for the balance of their money. Governor Brown signed warrants for the payment of an additional $1,000 to each of the district agricultural schools of the state, and the money has been sent to them by Executive Secretary Brantley. This brings the total amount paid to the district agricultural schools during the year up to approximately $9,500 each, or within $500 of the amount which it was contemplated by the legislature they should have,when it made the additional appropriation of $2,000 for each of them at last summers session. Thus each of the schools has received during the year $7,500 from inspection fees on oils and fertilizers and $2,000 direct from the state treasury as the result of a special appropriation. ROME FASTER DEAD. Death Comes to Georgia Man Who Fasted 24 Days. Rome, Ga—His stomach weaked and disordered by a fast of twenty-four days, which he endured recently, believing he had been asked to do so by the Almighty, J. Will Tippin, a well-to-do Roman, died at his residence here. All the linings of the stomach had been eaten away. Every effort was made to restore his strength, but he died of weakness. THROUGHOUT THE STATE. John R. Bradley, the financial backer of Dr. Frederick A. Cook, is in Augusta, stopping at one of the tourist hotels. He says that he camp to Augusta to get a few days' rest and he refused to enter into the Polar controversy, further than to say that he does not know the where- HOME OFFICE WEST BROAD STREET, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA.

He was asked the question: If he thought Dr. Cook would still produce convincing proof of his discovery of the pole and to this he replied that he did no care to-talk about the matter, as the polar controversy was past history to him. He said that he had lots more interest in the polar hunting than in polar exploring. Mr. Bradley is accompanied by his wife and little child. The Georgia troops will go into camp in May and July: 'Word to that effect was received from the war department by Adjutant General A. J. Scott. The first tour of instruction will begin May 19 at Fort Screven, and will last for a week. The Coast Artillery corps of four companies, with headquarters in Savannah, and the third and fourth battalions of infantry will go into camp at Fort Screven at this time. The Chickamauga maneuvers will be held some time in July, the dates yet to be determined. It is the adjutant general's purpose to send all the balance of the troops to Chickamauga, if possible. If not, state encampments will be arranged. "THE ROUND-UP." Atlanta, Ga—The attraction at the Grand opera house, Atlanta, for the entire week, beginning Monday evening, January 3. will be a distinct novelty. Klaw & Erlanger's production of Edmund Day's play of southwestern life in Arizona, "The Round-Up. As the title and locale of scenes indicate, it is a "western play," but not in the sense, in which this term, generally used, for the reason that the story is a powerful and rational one, true to human life, and presents none of the clap trap and wild, wooly situations which one might anticipate in a play laid in the locality selected by this author and presenting characters of the type which tell his story. The tale of "The Round-Up" is told in four acts, with scenes which represent the courtyard of the Allen ranch at Sweetwater, the living room in Jaek Payson's ranch three months later, the mountains and the desert known as the "bad lands" of Arizona, and a typical Arizona scene representing a cattle round up. Sixteen well-known players will act the principal roles. In addition to this talent, there will be a large auxiliary company of genuine calvarymen, scouts, cow punchers, Mexican yaqueros and Arizona girls, and, incidentally, twenty Indians and twenty highly-trained cow ponies from the Arizona ranges. In making this production Kilaw & Erlanger have omitted no feature whatever that would in any way contribute to its completeness of detail and the atmosphere of the locals of the scenes. It will be, in every respect, a true picture of the rugged but genuinely human life of the Arizona plain. The story is very interesting and will keep the audience keyed up to the keenest pitch of interest from start to finish. Matiness will be given on Wednesday and Saturday. STATE BAPTIST CALL. Office Recording Secretary M. B. C. of Georgia, Route No. 5, Box No. 47, Hawkinsville, Ga. October 1st, 1909. To the Brethren of the Missionary Baptist Convention of Georgia: In view of the fact that we are to meet again in annual session, in the month of November this year, I have deemed it expedient to address this circular letter to the Brotherhood. First. Let it be borne in mind that we will not be favored with the certificate plan in November, account the convention; but instead of getting certificates there will be reduced rate return tickets on sale November 7, 8' and, 9, from all points in Georgia to Atlanta. Rates of 3 cents per mile plus 25c, with final limits to return November 16th, 1909. This arrangement is cheaper than using the certificates. There is to be an automobile exhibition in Atlanta the same time, and the rate above mentioned has been granted on that account. So when I applied for the usual certificate plan the Company advised me that it would make said rate apply to Convention also. Connection with the programmes, I send you this letter so that there will be no mistake. Take due notice, and be governed accordingly. We have learned that changing the Convention from June to November does not meet the approval of a host of brethren. It will be remembered that the change was recommended in the President's annual address, which paper was referred to a committee; the committee reported favorably and subsequently the convention adopted and approved it by her votes. Let's go up to Atlanta in full force, and if the change is not the best, let's urge that the convention may rescind its action; but, personally, I think the change from June to November is best: 1st. It's a time in the year when the majority of the laymen have some money that they can give, as well as the pastors. 2nd. Every farmer in our convention who is interested in our work could plant one or two acres of cotton specially for conventional purposes, and in November of each year a great contest could be worked up among the farmers. Srd. 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 hack 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- ing by us; and in view of that, leme, as your secretary, urge that we make the keenest sacrifice and raise for printing and general expenses, besides education, not less than $500. There are some outstanding claims which your secretary and treasurer are compelled to meet, because all we have in the way of property stands subject to claims we made for the convention. Should you fall to provide for us so that we can meet your creditors, legal steps will be taken against us immediately. Now, if you cannot come to Atlanta, please send $1.00 as your enrollment fee, and a donation from your church. Address your letter to the convention in care of the secretary. What ever amount sent will be promptly reported and a receipt for the same will be mailed to you in return from Atlanta, I am, Emanuel county for several years past has been "up against it" in the way of poor crops and many of the farmers and merchants, had about fallen, by the wayside, as it wore farmers with debts mountain, high looming up before them and many small merchants with bankruptters hanging over them like the sword of Damocles. These conditions, however, have been changed and the new year started with many, back debts paid in full, a large per cent of the people with money in their pockets and confidence restored. This wonderful change has been wrought by the good crops produced in this county this year --- WORLD'S BEST SPEED AND DISTANCE RECORDS MOSTLY MADE IN 1909 Motorcycle—One mile in 245 seconds.

"Then there is the cunning junior of whom there used to exist, a good example at Bridgewater. "There was a half-witted youth in Bridgewater to whom the neighboring farmers liked to offer a penny and a nickel.

Some,people swell up on "emotion" brewed from absolute untruth. "It's an old trick of the leaders of the Labor Trust to trust 'twist facts' and make the "sympathetic ones" "weep at the ice house." (That's part of the tale further on.) Gompers et al. sneer at, split upon and defy our courts, seeking-sympathy, by falsely telling, the people the courts were trying to deprive them of free speech and free press. Men can speak freely and print opinions freely in this country and no court will object, but they cannot be allowed to print matter as part of, a criminal conspiracy to injure and ruin other citizens. A lawyer and his trust associates started out to ruin the Bucks Stove Co, drive its hundreds of workmen out of work and destroy the value of the plant without regard to the fact that hard earned money of men who worked had been invested there. The conspirators were told by the courts to stop these vicious "trust" methods (efforts to break the firm that won't "come under trust rule"), but, instead of stopping they dare to court the squash and hand new laws to protect them in such destructive and tyrannous acts as they may desire to do. * * * The reason Gompers and his band persisted in trying to ruin the Bucks Stove Works, was because the stove company insisted on the right to keep some old employees at work when "de unintended them discharged and some of "d'using." Now let us reverse: the conditions and have a look. Suppose the company had ordered the union to dismiss certain men from their union and, the demand being refused, should institute, a boycott against that union, publish its name in an "unfair list," instruct other manufacturers all over the United States not to buy the labor of that union, have committees call at stores and threaten to boycott if the merchants sold anything made to that union. "Picket" the factories where members work and slug them on the way home, blow up their houses and the works, and given murder a life of men, and union to teach them they must obey the orders of "organized Capital?" It, would certainly be fair for the company to do these things if lawful for the Labor Trust to do them. In such a case, under our laws the boycotted union could adjify to our courts, and the courts would order the company to cease boycoting and trying to ruin their union men. Suppose thereupon the company should cheer at the court and in open defence continue the unlawful acts in a persistent, carefully laid, out plan, purposely intended to ruin the union and force its members into poverty. What a howl would go up from the union demanding, that the courts protect them, and punish their law-breaking oppressors. In them, they would protect their and be ordered to live protected from ruin and happy in the knowledge that the people's courts could defend them. How could any of us receive protection from law-breakers unless the courts have power to, and do punish such men. The court is placed in position that it must do one thing or the other—punish men who persist in de- fying its peace orders or go out of service, let anarchy reign and the more powerful destroy the weaker. Peaceable citizens sustain the courts, as their defenders, whereas thieves, forgers, burglars, crooks of old kinds and violent members of la- rence, violence if, their members are pun- ished for breaking the law. They want the courts, to let them go, free and at the same time demand punish- ment, for, other men, outside de- union, when they break the law. Notice the abusive reference is to violent members of labor unions. The great majority of the "unhard" men are peaceable, upright citizens. The noisy, violent ones get into office and the leaders of the great Labor Trust show how to mass this kind of men, in labor con- There Was No Answer.

Delegate Egan is reported to have said at the Toronto convention: "If the officers of the federation would only adhere to the law we would have lost." The Grand Council of the Provincial Workingmen's Ass'n of Canada has declared in favor of severing all connection with unions in the U.

Such methods have consequences which are abhorrent to the law-abiding people of Canada involving hunger, misery, riot, bloodshed and murder, all of which might be termed a result of the practical war now in progress in our fair province and directed by foreign emissaries of the United Miners of America." That is an honest Canadian view of our infamous "Labor Trust." A few days ago the daily papers printed the following: (By the Associated Press.) Washington, D.C. Nov. 10.—Characterizing the attitude of Sahuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, of the American Federation of Labor in the contempt proceedings of the law, in connection with the Bucks Stove and Range Company, as "a willful, premediated violation of the law," Simon Burns, general master workman of the general assembly, Knights bk Labor, has voted a severe condemnation of these three leaders. The Bucks courts in general and in those of the District of Columbia in particular. APPROVED BY DELEGATES. This rebukes by Burns was in his annual report to the general assembly of his organization. He received the hearty approval of the delegates who heard it read at their annual meeting in the city. "There is no trust or combination of capital in the world," said Mr. Burns, "that violates laws oftener than do the trust labor organizations, which resort to more dishonest, unfair and dishonorable methods toward their competitors than any trust or combinations in the country. "These so-called leaders" would be harmful for years; to come whenever attempts were made to obtain labor legislation. "The Labor Digest," a reputable workingman's paper, says, as part of an article entitled "The beginning of the end of Gompersism, many organizations, becoming tired of the rule-or-rule cities which have 'been enforced by the president of the A. F. of L." "That he has maintained his leadership for so long a time in the face of his stubborn clinging to policies which the morally thoughtful of the workingmen have seen for years must be abandoned, has been on account of the fact that he has been the part of the organizations that he ought not to be deposed, and the unwillingness of the men who were mentioned for the place, to accept a nomination in opposition to him. In addition to this, there is no denying the shewness of the leader of the organization, which has enabled him to take a grip on the machinery of the organization, and to have his faithful henchmen in the positions where they could do him the most good, whenever their services might be needed. Further than this, the has never failed at the last consequences, to have attention at the psychological moment, which would place him in the light of a martyr to the cause of unionism, and exile a wave of sympathetic enthusiasm for him, which would carry With forty-five notches, in his trusty gun, gives reminders of his skill in bringing down deer, "West" Adams, of Milne, Notch, up in Oxford County, is a typical hunter.

"That his long leadership and this apparent impossibility to fill his place has gone to his head, and made him imagine that he is much greater a man than he really is, is undoubtedly the case, and accounts for the tactics he has adopted in dealing with questions before Congress, where he has successfully antagonized men to successfully organized labor must be for recognition of their demands, and where labor measures are often opposed on account of this very antagonism, which would otherwise receive support. "There is no doubt but what organized labor in this country would be much stronger, with a leader who was more in touch with conditions as they actually exist, and who would come from the new policies which organization must insist if it expects to even maintain its present standing, to say nothing of making future progress." We quote portions of another article, a reprint, from the same labor paper: Organized labor, through its leaders, must recognize the mistakes of the leaders if it fails to develop their organizations or to develop the movement which they head. No movement, no organization, no nation can develop beyond the intellects which guide these organizations, and if the leaders are dominated by a selfish motive the organization will be defeated if the spirit of selflessness, which has never appealed to mankind in any walk of life at any time since history began. "It can be said in extenuation of certain leaders of organized labor that the precarious position which they occupy as leaders has had a tendency to cause them to lose sight of the object behind the organization. The natural instinct in such an organization is in no small measure responsible for the mistakes of the leaders, not necessarily in labor unions alone, but in every branch of society. This desire, for power and leadership and personal aggrandizement causes men who have been earnest and sincere in their efforts in the start to deteriorate into mere politicians whose every desire to cater to the baser passions of the working majority in the societies or organizations and this is undoubtedly true when applied to the present leaders of the Federation. We mention the Federation of Labor particularly in this article because that organization is the only organization in direct opposition to has yet found itself in direct opposition to the baser passions of the land. There are other organizations of labor whose leaders have made mistakes, but they have always kept themselves and their organizations within the bounds of the law and respected the rights of every other man in considering the rights of themselves; and their constituency; whereas the motto of the Federation is the common sense of the leaders conform themselves and their organization in accordance with the laws of the land, the leaders and the organization itself must be disintegrated and pass into history, for in America the common sense in mankind is developed to a greater extent than in any other nation on the earth, and the people, who are the court of law, are not allowed to allow any system to develop in this country which does not meet with the approval of—the majority of the citizens of the country: "This must have forced itself upon the leaders of the Federation by this time. If it has not, the leaders must be eliminated. "The organization which they head has done many mertorious things in times past and the people are always ready and willing to acknowledge the benefits, which their efforts have brought to their constituency whole, at the time of the labor organization general, and the Federation of Labor in particular, stand before the bar of public opinion, having been convicted of selfishness and a disposition to rule all the people of the country in the interest of the few.

Let the people remember the comment, the Federation of Labor in particular stand before the bar of public opinion having been convicted of selfishness and a disposition to rule all the people of the country in the interest of the few." The great 90 per cent. of Americans do not take kindly to the acts of tyranny by these trust leaders openly demanding that all people how down to the rules of the Labor Trust, and we are treated to the humiliating spectacle of our Congress and even the Chief Executive entertaining these convicted law-breakers and listening with consideration to their insolent behavior, and changing to allow them to safely carry on their plan of gaining control over the affairs of the people. The sturdy workers of America have come to know the truth about these "martyrs sacrificing themselves in the noble cause of labor," but it's only the hysterical ones who swell up and cry over the aforesaid "heroes," reminding one of the two romantics who were seeking opportunities were discovered by the old fanatier at Mt.

Don't get maudlinabout, law-breakers who must be punished if the very existence of our people is to be maintained. If you have any surplus sympathy they are extended to the honest workers who continue to earn food when threatened and are frequently hurt and sometimes killed before the courts can intervene to protect them. Now the Labor Trust leaders demand of Congress that the courts be stripped of power to issue injunctions to prevent or order from assasin or murderer the wbw 'dare earn a living when ordered by the Labor Trust to quit work. Don't "weep at the ice House" and don't permit any set of law-breakers to bully our courts, if your voice and vote can prevent. Be sure and write your Representatives and Senators, in Congress asking then not to vote for more laws, to prevent the masses from protecting homes, property and persons from attack by paid agents of this great Labor-Trust. Let every reader write, and write now. Don't sit silent and allow the organized and paid men of this great trust to order the press to present the great masses of the American people. Say your say and let your representatives in Congress know that you do not want to be governed under new laws, which would empower the Labor Trust leaders with legal right to tell you when to work. Where? For whom? At what time? When will you buy? Whom to vote for? How much you shall pay per month in fees to the Labor Trust! etc. etc. etc. This power is now being demanded by the passage of laws in Congress. Tell your Senators and Representatives plainly that you don't want them to vote for any measure that will allow any set of men either representing Capital or Labor to govern, and disance to the common people, who prefer to be free from the work or not, and vote for whom they please. Every man's liberty will disappear when the leaders of the great Labor Trust or any other trust can ride rough shod over people and their forces to prevent our courts from affording protection. "There's a Reason." G. W. POST, Battle Creek, Mich. Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga as Second Class mail matter. "BACK to the Farm," is the slogan of many. If the bulk of our people would follow that admonition and become practical farmers their condition would become more salutatory. The horde of leafers in all of the towns especially in the Northern large cities should be made to till the soil. There can be no valid reason for us to dislike singing the plantation melodies. These melodies are distinctively of our people, and many foreign musical artists have said that they are the only purely American music. Let us never forget the melodies of our fathers. The Americans in Cuba have carried there the race prejudice that exists in this country. The Cubans will not stand for it. A few days ago there was a clash caused by the refusal to serve two colored members of the Cuban Congress at one of the resorts. The result now is that any colored person will be served. The leading colored business men in this city and those of our citizens who are conversant with affairs, have every possible confidence in the leadership of Dr. Booker T. Washington and will always rally to his standard. Dr. Washington is an unselfish leader and his life work is in helping others. This is a quality that many persons look upon as leaders are void. It is Bishop Lampton who truthfully said: "Show me the man who is always sitting around on street corners or in barber shops complaining about white folks or any other folks, and I will show you a man who will never amount to anything. No race can accomplish anything-by sitting around complaining. Complaints and wallings never yet made a race and never will. Stopping on the street to have a fuss with the stick that trips you up will never help you on your journey. Move the stick out of your way and go on up." ENTIRELY too much ado is made by certain newspapers about the appointment of colored men as census takers. For the past several decades colored enumerators have been appointed and they gave entire satisfaction. Ten years ago a number of them served in this city, visited the home of the white citizens, got the information wanted and no one was contaminated. The only trouble lies in the publicity given the matter by the newspapers. At the beginning of the present agitation the Southern papers had it announced that the Negroes will not be employed; we knew better, and now they are convinced that thousands of Negroes will be given a chance. Enumerators are Scarce. "Although the actual work of taking the census will not begin until April 15, it is essential that those who wish to act as enumerators should apply immediately. Except under unusual circumstances, no application received after January 25 will be considered. Each will work in his own locality. Any competent person is entitled to apply for this position, and will be fairly considered for appointment. "Political recommendations are not necessary. The supervisors, to whom applications must be made have been instructed to consider all candidates and to select solely on the basis of efficiency. For the purpose of aiding the supervisors in determining the competence of the candidates, a written test will be prescribed, and any person between the ages of 18 and 70 who is a citizen of the United States will be permitted to take it. "The test will be of a strictly practical character. It will consist of filling out a sample schedule of population, and, in case of rural districts, filling out also a sample schedule of agriculture, these schedule being precisely the same as will actually be used by the numerators in their work inter on. In order to assist candidates in preparing for the test, copies of the blank schedules and general instructions regarding the manner of filling them will be furnished to each candidate in advance. Any person of ordinary common school education and good judgment should have no difficulty in passing. The test is not a civil-service examination. It will be conducted under the direction of the supervisors of the census, and the papers will be examined only by the supervisors and by the Census Bureau. In order that convenient examination places may be provided for all candidates, local civil-service examining boards and postmasters will be called upon to preside at the actual taking of the test in certain cases, but in this respect they will act merely as the representatives of the supervisors of the census. The enumerators will earn about $60 each. Those in the rural district must complete their work within thirty days, and those in cities of 5,000 and more population at the preceding census within two weeks, from April 15, 1910. The Tuskegee Negro Conference. The nineteenth annual session of the Tuskegee Negro Conference will be held at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Wednesday, January nineteenth, nineteen hundred ten.

Tomorrow night there will be a great congregational meeting in the school room; Father Dahlent will give the annual report of the church. All the members are requested to be present. St. Philip Dots. Every service on Sunday was well attended and members and friends took advantage of the fine spring-like weather and were out in force. Rev. R. H. Singleton, D. D., preached two splendid sermons. At 11 a. m., the choir and congregation sang hymn 415, "And now my soul another year." Rev. Singleton's text was Exodus 33:14, subject "The abiding companion." The strictest attention was paid to this discourse and it was a spiritual treat and interesting from start to finish. Our Sunday school had the largest attendance on Sunday for quite a while. The S. S. looking glass showed an increase attendance of teachers, scholars and collections. The Holy Communion was administered by Rev. Singleton assisted by local deacon, Rev. John A. Capps. Rev. Singleton's discourse on Sunday night was one that will be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to get a seat. It was applicable to saint and sinner. The following trustees were elected on Tuesday night to serve the ensuing year: W. J. Williams, H. E. Nixon, J. M. Northington, R. W. Rogers, John H. Law, J. F. Butler, A. W. White, Dr. J. H.

Preaching at 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. F. A. B. Church During last week while the old year was ebbing out of existence closing the record of the world of three hundred and sixty five days, it carried with it no more deeds worthy to be recorded than the many done by the members of the First African Baptist Church, Franklin square. Along the lines of educational and mission work, the church can boast of a record far more creditable than several previous years, which in itself evidences the fact that it is advancing to the place it once held. The harmony which exists between the pastor and officers perhaps gives reason to believe that the members are in union, and while the new year is just launched in existence, the signal of a year of jubilee is seen and understood. Sister Kate Peterson on Thursday evening presented the pastor, deacons, and church clerk with a neat present as an evidence of appreciation of their services. On Sunday morning at the 10 o'clock service, the pastor preached from Amos 7:8, subject "God's Declision," and at the evening service from Jeremiah 31:15 subject "A weeping mother." Both sermons were delivered with much ability and accomplished the plea upon which they were entered. The communion service was largely attended, and amid the song and praises outbursts in every direction were heard from ones that were filled with the Holy Ghost. Two deaths were reported this week; that of Sister Emily Gardner, whose funeral took place from the church on Tuesday, Sister Amelia Monroe which took place from her home on Vine street. Lovers lane, Monday morning. The Sunday school scholars enjoyed themselves at the entertainment given for them at the church on Tuesday evening from 5 to 8 o'clock. The pastor and officers are preparing for the 122nd anniversary of the church, which promises to be a brilliant affair, because of the fact that it will mark one year of his pastorate. Interdenominational Meeting Interdenominational Ministers Union was held at the Second African Baptist Church Tuesday last. Rev I T Griner conducted the opening exercises. Dr R H Singleton gave a brief synopsis of his sermon of Sunday morning. Text Gal 6, 7-8. "Be not deceived, God is not Mocked." The ministers highly commended the sermon and extended a vote of thanks.

So many beautiful lesson were drawn as to how humble true christians are and much they must endure to receive their reward. The choir sang the sweet medley "Nearer my God to thee!" Rev Wright led the hymn "Amazing sight the Saviour stands." He made many touching remarks while inviting those who felt the need of prayer to the mercy seat. Quite a crowd bowed and prayer was offered for them. The BYP U is doing a great work. It meets Monday night at the residence of Rev Wright 518 Duffy street west.

The church is in an excellent condition, though Rev Cannon has been sick in bed over five weeks. Both the church and community will rejoice to learn that the pastor will fill the pulpit at both hours tomorrow. Every member is requested to be present tomorrow. Preaching also business of importance. Service Appreciated. Service Appreciated. Of the most unique affairs at which appreciation of service was shown occurred at the First African Baptist Church parsonage on Wednesday evening of last week, where was gathered the pastor, officers' choir members and a fair representative layy of the church. The afair was gotten up by a number of the members, who feeling that the service of the pastor-and officers deserved much compliments for the past year. Formost the pastor was the widow of the Mrs. Julia Ward, Mrs. Frances R. Williams and Mr. Cornelia Gilmore, et al. The parsonage was beautifully arranged for the occasion. The choir rendered several selections, and Mr. Paul D. Davis a bass solo. The pastor, Rev. Jones welcomed the members as his guests and others responded in very fitting manner which on a whole formed a neat-program. The party then retired to the dining room where a table was spread with all the delicacies of the season. After all had been served at the table the pastor and officers were called in another room, where stood a beautiful tree bedecked with spangles, lighted candles and laden with presents for each ceason, the pastor and his family, the church clerk, Staph, and assistant aupt. of the Sunday School the chorister and the organist. The most handsome, of these gifts was a dark oak hat rack and umbrella stand combined; with a plate glass mirror presented to the pastor in a very befitting speech made by Mr. J A Snyder in behalf of the committee. Each of the persons responded when presentations of their gifts were made in befitting manners concluded in an expression gotten from one of the jokes made at the table "I've got mine." The young folks enjoyed themselves in the parlor. After the evening had been most pleasantly spent and the hearts of those who served the church in capacities mentioned were made glad to know that their services were appreciated, the pastor announced benediction and all retired to their homes. Monumental Dots. Mr. Edward Jackson and Miss Annabelle Davis were united in holy wedlock Dec. 23, ult. Dr. L A Townsley officiated.

As already announced in the Christmas issue of THE TRIBUNE, the priests of St. Anthony's Mission, W. Savannah, will henceforth hold divine service on all Sundays and festivals. This service is not intended for Catholics only, but also for non-Catholics, a special feature of it being the sermon, which in all cases will be on a practical subject, profitable to every one, and therefore all our friends and true christians of this district (W.

The members of the Happy Home Baptist Church, surprised their pastor, Rev. C. Priester by presenting him with a laden table of groceries. Baptism and communion were held on Sunday. The same was largely attended. At night the pastor preached from Rev. 4-2. Free of Debt. On Sunday last the College Park Baptist Church, Rev. R. H. Thomas, pastor, held its first communion for the year. A special rally was also held to liquidate an old debt. The members with but little effort raised fifty dollars, together with the sum already hard, was sufficient to pay up all obligations thus beginning the year clear of debt. Considering the small membership, this is an excellent showing for church. This congregation is blessed by having as its pastor an an exceptionally fine gentleman, who holds a record for uprightness and sobriety. Men's Sunday Club.

The Georgia State and Industrial College campus was the scene of one of the cleanest and most vigorous games of foot ball ever played there. The contestants were the St. Stephens and Congregational Sunday School boys. In the first half of the game St Stephen's won the toss and the kick off by Clark sending the ball to the 20 yard line of their opponents' goal; the Congregational receiving the ball, began working like veterans, and on a cross play, Givins made and excellent run for 25 yards, putting the St. Stephen boys in an uncomfortable defensive position. To add to their discomfort they fumbled and the Congregationals gain 8 more yds, leaving only two more feet from crossing the goal line, when they fumbled, giving St. Stephen's the ball and a ghost of a chance to work out such a perillous position; at this juncture the sign of anxiety and nervousness appeared over the boys but was soon dispelled with by a yell from their coach that put their machine in working order and sending J. Habersham through the line with an exceptional gain of 8 yards, when the whistle sounded, ending the first half. In the second half the kick off was excellently executed by Coston of the Congregational, sending the ball on the 10 yd. line of the opponents' goal, but it was successfully brought back by an exceptional run by J. Habersham for 50 yards. After both sides had scrummaged for two or more downs with out any material gain, Clark punted the ball across the line but as the time had expired, the game ended with the score as follows: St Stephens 0, Congregational 0. The game was umpired by Prof. Thompson. Alien-Holmes. The marriage of Mr. C. D. Allen and Miss Daisy Holmes took place on Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock at the residence of the bride's sister Mrs. Gertrude Anderson, 510 Bolton street, west.

New York City Board of appointment, refers road organization in the highway system has been in evolution. The work of construction and maintenance is entirely under the control of the Engineers of Bridges and Roads, a thoroughly trained corps of technical men constituting what is probably the greatest engineering organization in the world. All of the roads in commune, department or city are under their jurisdiction. There is no conflicting authority, no diversity of policy or method in contiguous departments or communes. The results have been so striking that the nationalization of highway work has lately been advocated in Great Britain. This policy is in marked contrast to that prevailing in this country, and especially in the city of New York, where in five boroughs there are five distinct highway bureaus entirely independent of each other, each one of which has its own organization, its own methods of administration and its own standards of work. The French system of nationalization might not be adapted to the conditions existing in this country; but that system has resulted in France in the best built and perhaps the most thoroughly maintained highways in the world, while in this city there is palpable waste of energy, material and money, and the results are by common consent unsatisfactory. This is not intended as a condemnation of what we do at home and an exalation of what is done abroad. We have heard quite enough of that. Street maintenance in Paris is expensive, although it is very thorough, while some excellent work is being done in this city; but with a better organization, more co-operation and more intelligent investigation, vast improvements could be effected." In speaking of highway administration in the French capital, Mr. Lewis says that the conspicuous feature is "the constant investigation and experiment which is being carried on by trained experts. Analytical investigation of the composition of pavements, instituted by M. Buffet, Engineer of Roads and Bridges, in 1868, has developed into the present municipal laboratory, which has constantly extended the field of its tests and studies until to-day it is undoubtedly the finest in existence. Apparatus for testing resistance of paving materials to wear by friction was installed in 1868, and in 1873 there was added a machine for testing the resistance to abrasion of stone used in macadam roads. A special drilling machine is in use for testing the thickness and the degree of compression of asphalt pavements. This machine makes a round hole only one and three-eighths inches in diameter, which is simply and effectively reaffiled without mutilation of the pavement. Constant experiments are in progress to determine the life of this material and the forces which contribute to its destruction. In order that these problems may be most effectively studied, the laboratory makes use of an artificial 'rotter', by means of which the action of these forces and elements can be intensified and their effects studied. In Paris, as elsewhere, the difficulty of maintaining pavements on streets containing surface railway tracks has been apparent, and there has been in use since 1905 a device for testing the flexure of rails under the traffic of the cars which they are designed to accommodate and that of vehicles which follow them. Appliances for sprinkling and cleaning the pavements have received much attention. This work is considered a part of the street maintenance, although in the case of pavements other than macadam this expense is kept separately, as already indicated."—Good Roads Magazine. Impure Air and Wrinkles. Some recent writers on the subject of wrinkles hold that the air in our rooms should be changed three times every hour. The skin owes its beauty to the nerves which control the fine blood vessels of the surface, whose work lends glow and clearness to the face. The nerves in turn owe their sensitivity to the air, which is our chief nutrient, inhaled by gallons hourly, and should be pure and inharmonious. When the nerves are deadened by close air the fine muscles lose their tone, the tissue of the face shrinks and these shrinkages become wrinkles—London Globe. Marriage at Sea. Captain J. W. Winter, of the British steamer Stowford, was married yesterday at sea off Algiers. He had arranged to meet his fiancee, Miss Mary Eliza Duncan, a sister of the first officer, to be married at Algiers, but the vessel was suddenly ordered to Valparaiso. There was no time for the ceremony on land, so the English chaplain, the Rev. A. P. Brownyn, the acting Consul and Mrs. Graham saluted out in the Stowford. The ceremony was performed five miles out at sea—London Dally Mall. But the Wonder is That Nine-tenths of Them Still Hold Good. Answering the query, Why so many divorces? Life offers six answers: First, because of the decline of authority. Everybody in the country wants to be his own boss, and is so, as far as possible. Nobody wants to obey unless obedience matches inclination. Second, because there are so many more ways than there were a generation ago for a woman to make a living. Third, because the prices of living is so high. Men abandon their wives in shocking numbers because the job of maintenance is heavy and they get tired of it. Fourth, because women require much more and give less than they did a generation ago. They have been carefully endowed by law in most States with rights and privileges proper to independence. Fifth, because distractions have greatly increased in American life in a generation. Sixth, church influences, for the time being, are weaker than they used to be, and dramatic influences are more pervasive; church influences favor continuity in marriage; dramatic influences favor variety. There are plenty more reasons, but six are enough. The wonder is that, in the face of such convincing reasons as these, about nine marriages in every ten still hold good. All things considered, marriage seems incorrigibly popular even in this restless and progressive country. The united state being difficult and expensive to achieve, it is bad business for those who have attained to it to relapse back into the condition of the united. The Shelley Legend. Most Englishmen, then frightened by the Terror, thought that Atheism, Republicanism and what we now call Free Love were all symptoms of a new kind of wickedness which threatened to destroy society. They were only too glad to make an example of Shelley as a monster in whom all these symptoms were united; while he himself, condemned as consistent in vice, was the more firmly convinced of his consistency in virtue. After his death, when the fears caused by the French Revolution died away and his music began to enchant the world, the old, legend of a Shelley with horns and a tail gave way to a new one of a Shelley with wings and a halo. This has been accepted even by his detractors, and Matthew Arnold made skilful use of it when he called him a beautiful and ineffectual angel, beating in the void his luminous wings in vain. . . . I am not prepared to emasculate him thus. I treat him as a human being, and try to prove that he was one. interesting because of his very imperfections, because of the ceaseless struggle of his not omnipotent will . . . I have criticised him freely because I believe that all men, even the greatest, are imperfect in all things, and that unless we understand the nature of their imperfection we cannot understand the nature of their greatness.—Mr. Brock's "Shelley." Rabbits in District of Columbia Anacostia and the southeastern suburbs of the District are overrun by rabbits, and unless the Police Department overlooks some of the police regulations and gives the residents permission to fire a few shots into the swarms of animals it is feared the vegetation will be destroyed. Until November 1 the police game regulations prohibited the shooting of rabbits and exposing them for sale or having them in possession, thus protecting the animals which have caused so much havoc. Another police regulation offers them additional protection. The regulations stipulate that no gun or pistol can be fired in any section of the District within 500 yards of the public road, school, church or residence. In certain sections of Congress Heights only can a location be found that is 500 yards from a residence. As therabbits do not frequent this section, but confine their habitation to the more densely populated quarters, the police cannot give a permit to the residents to fire it the alleged pests.—Washington Post. Subordinate Themselves to Fashion. Charles Bruce-Winston, an English actor who has left the stage to take charge of a dressmaking firm, says that women make the great mistake of subordinating themselves to fashion instead of "binding fashion to their chariot wheels." Actresses, he thinks, are the best dressed women, because, while they sometimes overdress, they at least study what suits them and pay attention to "those tiny and apparently insignificant points which make the difference between a charmingly and a badly dressed woman." The stage, he thinks, has a great effect on dress, but the good is often nullified because the woman who tries to copy the dress she has seen on the stage has failed to mark the details, noting only the general effect—so the dress is a failure.—New York Tribune. To Thread a Needle With Wool. Although it is almost impossible to draw wool through the eye of an ordinary needle, however large the latter may be, the needle can sometimes be threaded with fine wool, if cotton is used as a "decoy." Both ends of a piece of cotton should be passed through the eye until only a short loop remains, the end of the wool being then run through the loop and the whole gently pulled through the eye of the needle—San Francisco Call.

A discovery of far-reaching importance to the farmers of the south is the new fertilizer which, has been perfected on one of the islands near Charleston, S. C. It has long been known that lime is an essential food for plants of all kinds and that they cannot live when it has been exhausted from the soil. It has also been known that old worn-out lands are extremely deficient in lime, and that sour, badly-drained lands have their lime in a form that is not usable by growing crops. Farmers' Bulletin No. 124, United States Department of Agriculture, says: "All the applications of, lime increased the yields. * * * The best yields were obtained with the lime in the form of carbonate, the finely ground oyster shells standing first. * * * Lime with fertilizer was more profitable than depending upon fertilizer alone." This new fertilizer which presents lime in its most usable form is made by a new process of burning oyster shells and using a burner that can supply potash. The result is a high grade fertilizer costing the consumer only $7.00 per ton. It reclaims worn-out lands in a marvelous manner if applied broadcast two months ahead of ammonated goods. It's sweetening effects on sour lands is almost magical. Charleston freight rates apply on this new fertilizer. The factory is located on Young's Island, S.

Mostly In Gold, and Some of It Had Been Buried for Fifty Years. The First National Bank of Logan, W. Va., has received a deposit which has an interesting story behind it. The amount is $6,020, of which $5,000 is in gold coin, some of which is fifty years old. Twenty dollars is in silver and there are fifty $20 bills. The money had been accumulated by Milton Mullens and represents the savings of a lifetime. Mullens began hoarding his savings when a young man. This was before the civil war. All his surplus he converted into gold, which he buried in the yard. A few years ago when gold coin was scarce and almost out of circulation Mullens began to exchange his smaller money for $20 bills. These were hidden in a safe place in his barn. It was believed for many years that he was hoarding his money, and on numerous occasions marauders have endeavored to force him to reveal its hiding place, but without success. A few days ago his wife died and believing that he would not live long he called his grandson, J. M. Peery, and told him where to search for the treasure. The young man after digging for some time found the treasure, and this snug little fortune went into the bank to the credit of the now aged and infirm mountainer.—Roanoke correspondence Baltimore Sun.

"When my boy was six years old, he suffered terribly with eczema. He could neither sit still nor lie quietly in bed, for the itching was dreadful. He would irritate spots by scratching with his nails and that only made them worse. A doctor treated him and we tried almost everything, but the eczema seemed to spread. It started in a small place on the lower extremities and spread for two years until it very nearly covered the back part of his leg to the knee. "Finally I got Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and gave them according to directions. I used them in the morning and that evening, before I put my boy to bed, I used them again and the improvement even in those few hours: was surprising, the inflammation seemed to be so much less. I used two boxes of Cuticura Ointment, the same of the Pills and the Soap and my boy was cured. My son is now in his seventeenth year and he has never had a return of the eczema. "I took care of a friend's child that had eczema on its face and limbs and I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. They acted on the child just as they did on my son and it has never returned. I would recommend the Cuticura Remedies to anyone. Mrs. A. J. Cochran, 1823 Columbia Ave., Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 20, 1909." His Alarm Clock.

If amused, Thompson's Eye Water The Future of the Order Discussed by Grand Chancellor Creswill in An Interview. Grand Chancellor Charles D. Creswill, Secretary and Treasurer of Endowment Fred M. Cohen and Grand Attorney F. B. Petty spent a day in August last week on Pythian business. There has been so much uncertainty concerning the future of the colored Knights of Pythias in Georgia that we thought it opportune to ask General "Creswill" some questions. In an interview granted our representative the following questions were asked and answers obtained: "Well, what are the Knights on Pythias going to change name to on January 1st? I see that the Atlanta Independent claims you have signed an agreement to deliver up everything on or before January 1st that belongs to the Knights of Pythias of N. A. S. A. E., A. A. and A.?" "All that you read in The Independent regarding my signing or agreeing to change the name of the order of the K. of P's, etc., is absolutely false, and the writer of the articles that appear in the Atlanta Independent knows that he is misrepresenting when he writes them?" "What will be the name of the order on or after January 1st? The same as it is at present?" "Did not Senate Bill No. 64 put the K. of P's, etc., out of business?" "No more than it has any other organization of like character." "What is the standing of the order in the state today regarding pending case in the courts?" "The case was argued before the supreme court of Georgia, June 12th. Up to date no decision has been redered. When the same is handed down, if in our favor, it will in its self annul Senate Bill No. 64. If it be against us, we will make a federal question out of the same, and the order of the United States supreme court will protect the order until it has decided the case, as we exist by virtue of a charter granted us by a regular act of congress, October 10, 1889, and was incorporated December 14th, 1903, and the state has no right to say we cannot do business in the same, as we are a foreign corporation. Senate Bill 64 is in violation of the federal laws known as a 'General Incorporated Act of May 5th, 1870.' The rituals, jewels, uniforms, badges, etc., that we are using are in the commercial market for sale and anyone can purchase the same. It is simply knowing where to purchase them if you so desire. You are not compelled to join the order or be a member of the same to purchase anything that the Knights are using from a ritual down." None of the rituals, jewels, pins and badges are patented or copyrighted, consequently an yone who has the price can purchase the paraphernalia if they so desire." "Will not Judge~Ross attempt to have Senate Bill enforced on and after January 1st?" "Judge Ross and Mr. Douglass are men of quality. In Governor Brown's office on August 17th, when we were all present (one side requesting the governor not to sign the bill, the other requesting the governor to sign the bill), in Judge Ross' plea to Governor Brown to sign the bill he said: 'If you will sign the bill, these people are no fools, let them take the matter into the courts of the land and thrash it out.' We expect to do this when the supreme court hands down its decision or when any one attempts to stop us from doing business. The object of the K. of P's is to promote and dispense friendship, charity and benevolence among the members and I know of no law or principle of justice that will grant any one individual or corporation a right to monopolize these Christian virtues." "You spoke some time ago of the federal question. Is that all the federal question that you have?" "No, we have several. A portion of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States reads as follows: 'Nor will any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny any person within its jurisdiction equal protection of the law.' This liberty means not only liberty of persons, but liberty of contract and the acquiring of property and of association in any way for any advantage, pecuniary or otherwise.' "Why does The Independent continue to make these charges you say are false." "Simply to cause strife among the members of the order, the two races or break down one order that another may profit by the same." "You really do not think any one will attempt to enforce Senate Bill 64 on the K. of P's?" "No. The act became a law as soon as the governor signed the same, and no one will be hurt after January 1st." "Well, is not the reason why no one has been arrested because you signed contract to change the name before January 1st? Did you not do so?" "No. That's a false statement, as I have said before. What right has Judge Ross, Mr. Douglass and I to enter into a contract to break the laws of the state. Judge Ross believes that he is right in his contentions that we are infringing on the rights of the K. of P's of the World, and I do not believe that we are and we both are in the courts of the land to let them settle our difference—to say who is right and who is wrong. Before the superior court of Fulton county and also supreme court of the state, Judge Ross admitted that we were relieving the counties and cities in which we live of caring for a great deal of sick among our race, burying paupers, etc., and he wished for us, God's speed. All he prayed for was for us to change our name to the Knights of anything, he did not care what, just so we dropped the name "Pythias." We could be named Knights of Washington or Douglass, he did not care just so we dropped the name "Pythias." "What caused all this stir in the state?" "The application for charter in this state was made at the Albany session, 1904, when B. J. Davis was admitted to the Grand Lodge. His first act was to have the Grand Lodge make application for a charter. C. N. Sellers was at that time Grand Attorney. The application was made the last of July about the 26th, in Bibb superior court. The application did not in words suit B. J. Davis and on August 27th in an issue of his paper, he criticized the same, saying that the charter gave the Grand Chancellor more power than Caesar had over Rome. This criticism caused two names that were on the charter to be withdrawn and that caused the application to be withdrawn from the courts. No more was said about the charter until 1906 when H. L. Johnson was elected Grand Attorney. The application for charter was brought up again and the Grand Attorney was ordered to make application for a charter. The same was made in Bibb superior court by H. L. Johnson, but after he failed to secure a charter for the Elks in the same court, he withdrew the same and took it to Fulton county where the injunction was filed, which is now in the hands of the judges of the supreme court of the state. The case is pending and until the court has rendered a decision one way or the other nothing will be done."—Georgia Baptist. EMANCIPATION DAY. EMANCIPATION DAY. Last Saturday was Emancipation Day, and it was heartily observed by our people in this city. Early in the morning representatives from a number of societies and the uniformed department of the K. of D. assembled for the parade. After the formation several streets were passed through, even some parts of the city not usually visited by such processions. The members of the Emancipation Association brought up the rear in carriages. The program as published in The Tribune was carried out fully. The church was filled with a patriotic people to show approval of the day. The main features of the exercises were the excellent paper read by Mrs. R. Ethel Wright on the "Progress of the Negro in America." Her rendition was perfect, and the paper was teemed with salient points of race progress, and she was cheered heartily, as she waded through her excellent paper. We tried, but were unable to get this paper for publication. The other was the main address by Dr. W. L. Jones, the able pastor of the largest Baptist Church in this country. Dr. Jones had his subject divided in three divisions, showing the past, present and future of the Negro. He pictured him in his African home, in his contentment, etc. He showed how for greed he was captured against his will and brought to this country, where he was made to fell the forests, till the soil and aided greatly in making America the prosperous country that it is today. Dr. Jones further said: "The Negro was brought from home without his consent to this country, and has been made the burden bearer of all men with no credit. "He now stands in America as an object of ridicule, injustice and mob violence and no retreat save the throne of God. He is cursed and dainned; ostracised and spoken evil of because of his color, and some other things, that are connected with it, over which he had no control. "The Negro of America is not disliked because of his color only, because he is black; for there are other races as dark as the African or American Negro; but he is disliked in America because he has been a slave, and was helpless, bought and sold by the masters, and because of the fact that he is from Africa; with no intelligent kingdom at the back of him; brought to this country in ignorance with no power to resist—maltreatment, has developed in the mind of this country a spirit of dislike towards the Negro. "Notwithstanding he has served as the bedrock of their wealth and the financial stream of education of their children. "It seems that this country can see nothing good in the Negro, neither past, present nor future. "Unfortunately they criticise his physical constructure and seem to strive to make it appear that there is nothing promising in his mental cast or endowment; while at the same time it has been said by a white historian, in speaking of the Negro of Africa that his wisdom tooth is better developed than that of the white race. "It is a fact that there are certain physical trait indications and features found in the Negro that are hard to be understood or interpreted, which means, in my judgment, a great future power that is yet to be developed; and as time small unfold itself to us and to the world the Negro's power will be seen, reco-nized and acknowledged. "It has also been said by the historian that the Negro's brain is mellow and undeveloped. All of this, in my judgment, go to show that he is a race for the future. "He is also said to have an unusual large liver, which may go to show his physical capacity. It has also been said by the historian that he is fond of music. This needs no far-fetched explanation. We only need to ask the man on the farm, the boss man on the railroad, the guard on the chalangang, the preacher and members in the church—all will testify to the fact that he is musical. This, in my judgment, greatly speaks for his present and future happiness; for he can bear more sorrow of heart than any other man without committing suicide. Now, this is the Negro from Africa. "It has been said by the historian that he was brought from Africa and from near the coast of Guinea of the petty kingdom of Ashantee and Doharney." After reciting the valor of the Negro as a soldier, as a citizen, etc., Dr. Jones further said: "Now, my friends, we have been speakin gabout what the Negro was. We shall now give a few brief hints of what he is today. "He is said to be an American citizen and freed by the roaring of cannons, and popping of muskets of the Union Army, and the strokes of Abraham Lincoln's pen. Whether or not all of this is true is for your accession and consideration. "There is one thing we know, and that is, it is better today than it was fifty years ago. "It is a fact that the Negro is an American citizen, but not with all the privileges belonging to a citizen. "Let us turn our attention to what he is in the affairs of this country: "It is a fact that the Negro is a prime factor in the working force of all this southland and there is not any great commercial operation or mechanical effort, or display, memorial days, or pleasure seeking crew or war exhibition of tragedy, but what the Negro must be in it. When the American flag was planted on the block house in Santiago, Cuba, the Negro was there. When the American flag was set up on the peaks of the North Pole, the Negro was there. When President McKinley, the executive head of this great country, was assassinated and when help was needed, the Negro, Parker, was there; and when the cross was carried upon Calvary on the shoulders of Jesus Christ, the Negro was there—Jesus on one end and the Negro on the other. "So we find the Negro in all the affairs and great efforts and achievements made by this country and the world. "He is a citizen, with limited privileges, a property holder, doctor, lawyer, school teacher and preacher; machinist, electrician, author of books and inventor of new discoveries. Musical by birth and blood and made so by practice. "The Negro is woven and interwoven into all the affairs of this country, not only commercial and mechanical, but woven into the very blood and that the finest of America. He is a keeper of the finest stock. She is a cook for the finest family. She is a nurse and maid for the royal children. The Negro is in the lowest bed of America and in some of the finest beds of the palace. "Indeed the' Negro is everywhere and in everything. He is in all nations and all nations are in him. "H is a problem of discussion throughout America and around the world. "All nations-are reading of and seeking and asking about the Negro. "Great God! what will he be? It theory of a certain kind can be relied upon "an acorn in the course of time will be an oak." That being true, the Negro is in the acorn on this existence. But, ere long, he will be a gigantic oak and that of a bashan kind in the affairs of this country. "Now we have spoken of what the Negro was and what he is today. We wish to speak to you about what the Negro hopes to be. It is true that if one wishes to erect a great edifice it is highly necessary to go down and lay a great foundation. In my judgment, the Negro now is removing the rubbish and fragments that have been produced by slavery and getting ready to lay the foundation upon which to build the future hope of the race—morally, religiously, educationally, politically and commercially—and this cannot be done in a day. "It is an easy matter to fly flags and beat drums and to rush in, with overcharged ambition and unregulated, judgment, but it takes a great deal to establish a nation with the patriotism becoming a nation. "There are certain religious and groundworks of respectability and pride for blood and nationality that must characterize all nations and races, or else their existence is a failure. We must be able by pride and blood to cherish the memory of our great men, by example and precept. "Nations are not always to be judged by their size any more than individuals, for a nation to be great needs not necessarily be large, for size is often confounded with greatness. A nation may be very large in point of territory, and population, and yet be devoid of true greatness. The people of Israel were a small people, yet what a great life they developed and how powerful the influence they have exercised on the world of mankind. "Just think, coming out of Egypt's bondage into a cannon's freedom and thereby being the only people that had a knowledge of the true God that the mighty God could use at that time, to give divine knowledge to the world. Therefore, there is not a line in the Bible as we have it today, but what the writing came through that blood. "Therefore, we can see the greatness of a people or nation coming out of bondage; and the Negro of America is a splendid specimen. "Greece was not very large, the entire population of Attica was less than that of Illinois. Athens was less populous than New York and yet how great it was in art, in literature, in philosophy and in patriotism. "Japan is of a very limited size in area, streaming along in slands in the sea, but think for a moment what a great coming power Japan is in these modern times. "The Negroes of America are supposed to figure up in the possibility of eleven millions. His weakness is not found in his numerical strength, but otherwise. He has not yet learned to stick together and stand by his brother in black; not until then can he be truly considered as great. "He must drop his treacherousness, one toward another, and see the possibility of greatness in his brother, and learn that his word is self—in person. In the absence of his physical form. "Catch up the broken links of the fathers in the divine service of God." "Leave off formality and hypocrisy. Get back in the good old way of earnestness and sincerity and serve God in the beauty of holiness and when this is done God will carry out heaven's design." "For I am looking for the time to come when the world shall get the best gospel from the lips of the Negro of America that ever fell from human lips since the days of Jesus of Nazareth and the Apostles." "So, my dear people, a great part of your emancipation rests on your own shoulders. My word to you, if you expect to live, thrive and be a people in this country, stand by your God that has given birth to your American emancipation." "A great lever in your uplift is found in the women of the race. They need to be earnest, race-loving and true or else the race will suffer great loss, calamity, shame and destruction as did come upon the people of the past. During the early stage of Rome war broke out between Rome and a people known as the Sabina. They came with their king and seized Rome, the great citadel on the Capilline Hill in Rome; was defended by Spurious Tarpus. While the siege was progressing his daughter, Tarpir, saw and admired the bracelets worn by the Sabian soldiers, and, anxious to possess such ornament, she promised to open the gates of the citadel, if the soldiers would give her what they wore on their left arms. So she opened the gates and turned them in on the city. When they got in they threw their shields to her paly. "So our women today can keep the gates closed against the enemy if they will; but very often they see something in or on the enemy that they want and for that ornament they will turn the enemy in to play destruction to the whole race. "If there is a race upon the face of the globe that needs to be careful along all lines, and with all people, it is the Negro. Even within his own ranks he is often treacherous and untrue, being deceived by the enemy of the race. "At one time when war was in progress between the Greeks and the people of Troy, and when the Greeks had attempted and failed repeatedly to capture the people of Troy, they finally constructed a great wooden horse and landed it from their ships, in front of the gate of Troy; then fled in haste as for fear, back at sea, leaving the wooden horse. "The people of Troy opened the gate and carried that great wooden horse into the city, supposing they had captured great booth, locked the gates and retired in peace. "But, behold! that wooden horse was full of Greek soldiers and during the night they came out, opened the gates and turned in the Greek army and destruction of the city followed. "So my friends, be not deceived, but be wise, and do not let the enemy bed themselves in some of the Negroes as (the wooden horse) and destroy the whole race. "God expects great things of the Negro. 'Therefore He has done and is still doing and will do great things for the Negro.'" One Kind of Carelessness. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in one of the last addresses that he made to his Sunday school class before abandoning it, said of carelessness in business: "Too many business men are careful on one side, their own side only. Thus a coal dealer whom I used to know shouted one afternoon to an employees who was driving out of the yard: "Hold on there, Jim! That coal can't have been weighed. It looks a trifle large for a ton to me." "Jim shouted back: "This ain't a ton, boss. It's two tons." "Oh, all right,' said the dealer, in a mollified tone. Beg your pardon. Go ahead."—Washington Star. The great event of today, soon becomes merely an incident.
