Savannah Tribune

The Savannah Tribute President Would Protect Corporations from State Interference. MODIFIES TRAFFIC IDEAS Taft Would Prevent National Combines From Acquiring Stock of Competitors Except by Consent. Washington, D. C.—President Taft's special message, deedling with amendments to the interstate commerce laws, looking to a more effective federal supervision of railroads, and conveying his recommendations for the passage of a federal incorporation act, was transmitted to congress and read in the house, the senate not being in session. The message followed closely the forecasts that have been made from time to time and in the suggesten legislation as to railroads, embodies all of the suggestions that the president has made from time to time in his speeches on the subject. Mr. Tatt suggests no changes in the Sherman anti-trust law at this time. The anti-trust feature of the message deals solely with the subject of federal charters. The president thinks that an opportunity should be given the big industrial combinations to bring their business once more into the "zone of lawfulness" by taking out a federal charter under certain prescribed conditions before it becomes necessary to proceed against every great corporation about which there is a breadth of suspicion. Duty and Purpose. "It is the duty and the purpose of the executive," say the message, to direct an investigation by the department of justice through the grand jury or otherwise into the history, organization and purpose of all the industrial companies with respect to which there is any reasonable ground for suspicion that they have been organized for a purpose and are conducting business on a plan which is in violation of the anti-trust law." Such a wholesale investigation and possible prosecution, the president points out, "would result in serious disturbances and produce a halt in our present prosperity that will cause suffering and strained circumstances among the innocent many for the faults of the guilty few. "The question which I wish in this message to bring clearly to the consideration and discussion of congress is whether, in order to avoid such a possible business danger, something cannot be done by which those business combinations may be offered a means, without great financial disturbance, of changing the character, organization and extent of their business into one within the lines of the law under federal control and supervision, securing compliance with the antit-rust statutes." The conditions upon which federal charters are to be granted under the president's recommendations are these: The issue of stock to be an amount equal only to the cash paid in on the stock, or if stock be issued for property, then at a fair valuation, as嵌嵌ed under approval and supervision of federal authority after full and complete disclosure of all the facts appertaining to the value of property and the interest in it of the persons to which the stock is to be issued. Corporations taking federal charters are to be prohibited from acquiring and holding stock in other corporations, except for special reasons upon approval by the proper federal authorities. Full reports of operations are to be made to the department of commerce and labor at regular intervals. The federal incorporation is to be voluntary, but the president feels that most of the corporations will be glad of the opportunity to reform their business methods if given this opportunity. Otherwise the department of justice will investigate them. Nothing in the federal charters is to exempt any corporation from prosecution for violations of the anti-trust law. In that portion of his message dealing with changes of the interstate commerce laws the president recommends: The establishment of a United States court of commerce of live judges to hear and determine appeals from the interstate commerce commission, the only appeal from this court lying in the United States supreme court. The commission is to be relieved of prosecuting cases in the courts, this duty being placed in the department of justice. The commission to be empowered to hold up new rates or classifications by railroads until an inquiry can be IRISH IN ASCENDENCY. New England Being Peopleled by Sons of Erin. New York City—"The Irish are now so numerous in New England that it should be called New Ireland, and the nasal tone of the New England states is disappearing as a result of the rich, rare brogue of Ireland, as sweet as the dying note of a broken heart-string," was the statement of Michael F. Dooley, of Providence, one of the speakers at the American-Irish Historical Society dinner. Former Police Commissioner McAdoo said that the greatest drawback to Ireland's getting home rule is that Ireland is incomprehensible to the average English intellect. made as to their reasonableness. It found to be unreasonable, the commission m.y forbid the increase. Shippers to be given the choice of established routes on through freight. Prohibits Stock Buying. From and after the passage of the amendments, it is provided that no railroad shall acquire any stock or interest in a competing line, except that where a road already owns 50 per cent or more of the stock of another road, it may complete the purchase of all the stock. Also in cases where 'one road is operating another under a lease of more than 25 years' duration, it shall have a right to acquire the demised road. Allowing this acquisition of stock does not exempt any road from prosecution under the ant-trust law. Stock must be issued at par value for money paid in or for properties or services, rates at full value, under an inquiry by the federal authority, who shall supervise all stock and bond issues. SOLDIERS IN THE SENATE. Nine Ex-Confederate Fighters in the United States Senate. Memphis, Tenn—Colonel James Gordon, the new member of the United States senate from Mississippi, takes rank among the oldest members in point of years. He has just turned hi seventy-sixth year. The death of Senator McLaurin of Mississippi reduced tae number of confederate veterans in the senate to eight, but the appointment of Colonel James Gordon as his successor restored the number to the original figure of nine. The other eight ex-confederates in the senate are Bankhead of Alabam, Tallafroer of Florida, Bacon of Georgia, McKenney of Louisiana, Money of Mississippi and Daniel and Martin of Virginia. By a curious coincidence there are also just nine ex-soldiers of the union among the senators—Bulkeley of Connecticut, DuPont of Delaware, Bradley of Kentucky, Burrows of Michigan, Nelson of Minnesota, Warner of Missouri, Aldrich of Rhode Island, Scott of West Virginia and Warren of Wyoming. LIST OF MULTI-MILLIONAIRES. Woman Pays Taxes on Most Personal Taxes in New York City. New York City—Not Mr. Carnegie and his millions in steel, but a woman with millions left her by her husband, leads the list of personal tax assessments made public in New York. She is Mrs. Emma B. Kennedy, widow of the late John S. Kennedy, who left $26,000,000 to charity when he died recently, and she must pay taxes on personal property valued at $6,000,000. Mr. Carnegie, who topped the list yast year, tied this year for second place with Mrs. Russell Sage, at $6,000,000. John D. Rockefeller comes third, with personal property assessed at $2,500,000, and in fourth place are Florence Amsnick, Bessie McLeod Leggett and W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., is listed for half a million. Colonel John Jacob Astor and J. F. Morgan must pay on personal property assessed at $400,000. QUEER NAMES-FOR CHILDREN. Nothing and Something Tuttle Now Known as Trix and Kitty Tuttle. Mexico, Mo—Nothing Tuttle and Something Tuttle are now Trix and Kitty Tuttle, respectively. They have changed their names. The young women are daughters of T. T. Tuttle, a retired farmer. Tuttle's first child, a girl, was born in 1881, which was a dry year. In order to commemorate the year, he named her Eighty-One. She is now the wife of Rufus Jackson. The second child, a boy, brought about a disagreement as to a name, so they compromised by calling him it Tuttle. The third child, a girl, was named Nothing, and the strange names were carried out in the naming of the youngest. She became Something. $50,000,000 TOBACCO COMPANY. Concern is to Be Formed by Thomas W. Lawson. Lexington, Ky-That a $50,000,000 tobacco manufacturing concern to take over pooled holdings of the Burley Tobacco Society is to be formed by Thomas W. Lawson of Boston was announced by W. W. Davies, Lawson's attorney, after the departure of the latter from this city at the end of a conference with officers of the Burley Tobacco Society. Human Crazy Quilt. Boston, Mass.—After suffering for ten years from burns, to remedy which a doctor grafted 500 pieces of skin from as many different persons on his body, Levi G. Perry, aged 68, is dead at his home in Malden. Gift for Mrs. Taft. Washington, D. C.-Two thousand Japanese cherry trees, the gift of the corporation of Tokio to Mrs. Taft and the city of Washington, arrived here. As soon as the weather is favorable these will be set along the drive in Potomac Park. It was in this park that band concerts were inaugurated last summer by Mrs. Taft. To Change Inauguration Date. Washington, D. C.—The passing of the historic fourth of March as a presidential-feminuration date, and the fixing of the fourth Thursday of April in its place is provided for in a resolution ordered favably reported by the committee on judiciary. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 1910. LATE NEWS NOTES. General. It was reported in New York City that Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of J. P. Morgan, is contemplating the formation of a $1,000,000 corporation to manufacture shirtwalsts. The report could not be verified. Miss Morgan has been an active sympathizer with the shirtwalst makers, now on strike. "I will devote my entire time to freeing my husband." Mrs. Charles W. Morse declared. Mrs. Morse is back at her home in New York City from a visit to her husband, who is in the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga. She intends, she said, to invoke every possible legal means to secure the former banker's release. The $8,180,621 was spent in the United States last year for the treatment and cure of persons inflicted with lung diseases is announced by the Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. In this work New York ranks first, Pennsylvania second and Massachusetts as third. The next seven states in order named are Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, California, Colorado, Connecticut and Ohio. The family of G. Rowland Leavitt, banker and railroad financier, of New York Sly, confirms the announcement that his daughter, Miss Margaret Howland Leavitt, 25 years old, and heir to a million dollars, was married "without the knowledge- or consent of her parents" to Joseph F. Smollen, her chauffeur. If Referee in Bankruptcy Blair will allow, Alice Copely Thaw, sister of Harry K. Thaw, now in Matteaawai asylum, New York state, will pay $10,000 for some cuff links, scarf pins, a cigar cutter and books said to have been Harry Thaw's when he was a boy in Pittsburg. A petition has been filed by the trustee of the estate of Thaw, requesting that the personal effects of the former Pittsburger be sold for the benefit of his creditors. The annual message of Governor Hughes announced the gift of 10,000 acres of land along the upper pall sades of the Hudson river from the widow of E. H. Harriman, carrying out his intention to form the nucleus of a great state park. Mrs. Harriman also gives $1,000,000 to further the park plan and contributions are also made by Rockefeller and Morgan. Washington. Carrying an appropriation of $95,200,000 for the maintenance of the army for the fiscal year of 1911, the army appropriation bill passed the house by a vote of 183 to 106; present and not voting, 9. The opposition was due to the fact that the department estimates were exceedingly high. The treasury deficit for the first six months of the fiscal year just ended is $56,500,000 and the working cash balance is only $28,267,000. The treasury officials find it impractical to issue Panama bonds to relieve the situation because the outstanding 2 percent bonds have gone below par, and it is feared that an issue of 3 percent would still further depress the 28. Representative Sulzer of New York wants the United States to have the finest roads in the world, and accordingly, he has introduced a bill providing that the federal government loan to the different states sums for the purpose not exceeding a million dollars annually, the states to pay it back yearly. The postoffice department would supervise the work of building the roads. Seven hundred rural schools will at once be opened by the government in the eastern part of Oklahoma, according to a statement made by Jno. D. Benedict, superintendent of Indian schools in Oklahoma. The government will spend $150,000 to maintain schools in districts where there is not enough taxable lands to maintain schools. Full-blood Indian and minor lands under the enabling act can not be taxed. Secretary of State Knox is quoted as defining his foreign policy as being the protection of every American citizen in whatever portion of the globe he may be. Said Knox: "The same protection, to American citizen as Great Britain extends to her subjects. I do not propose to have it said during my administration of the state department that an" American traveler abroad had to seek protection under the British or German flag." "To prevent a serious set-back to the development of the Pearl harbor, Hawaii, naval station through exhaustion of the regular appropriation of $1,000,000, by February 1, the secretary of the navy sent to congress a deficiency estimate of $300,000 toward completing the dredging of the 35-foot channel for the station. Secretary Meyer hopes to have the station ready to take care of the fleet by July 1, 1912. President Taft is heartily in favor of the plan to raise the battleship Maine from the bottom of Havana harbor. The president has informed Representative Lord of Michigan that he desired to see the latter's bill, appropriating money for the purpose, enacted into law, and that he stood ready to offer support. Quite a radical change in the manner of conducting the great state receptions at the white house are noted and for the first time in many administration refreshments are now served. The blue room circle, which flourished driving the itoseveat administration when a selected coterie of social friends were invited behind the line, was entirely done away with. Speculative Nature of the Movement Shown by Lack of Weakness in Southern Spot Markets. New York City—There was a further big break in the cotton market, making the taird sensational slump in prices since the movement started early last week. Panic-striken longs in all parts of the world seemed to be liquidating their cotton, regardless of prices, and the action of the market showed such intense excitement and demoralization as finds a parallel only in the series of sensational movements following the collapse of the Sully boom. For more than a year the cotton market had been steadily advancing, and toward the end of last month prices had reached a level, whirl, since the civil war, had only been equaled when Sully was at the height of his fame, March contracts selling at 16.17 and May at 16.46. But at the culminating point of the decline, the March contracts sold at 14.60, May 14.79, a loss from the high record of from $7.85 to $8.40 per bale, most all of which has occurred during the last week. The declines from the closing prices amounted to more than $3.50 per bale. There does not appear to have been any changes in general trade conditions to warrant the almost unprecedented slump in prices and in contrast to the Sully year no financial difficulties have been precincted. It is apparent, however, that one after another of the big bull cliques which had been organised independently during the progress of the big bull market have been liquidating. Possibly the selling movement was originally due to an effort to obtain profits on long lines owing to the approach of the new planting season anexpectations of greatly increased area, while the absence of any speculative short interest left the market with very little support. It was reported that spinners were buying more freely in the south and late advices from the leading southern spot markets show no material weakness. · SAYS PULPIT IS OBSOLETE. Failing Church Attendance Proves the Failure of the Pulloit. New York City.—"Is the pulpit obsolete?," asked Dr. Felix Adler, the lecturer and author, and answered "yes" to his own question. "Failing church attendance," continued the speaker, "testifies to the failure of the pulpit. Formerly, views on important subjects were heard by the clergy. Now we hear the views of bankers. "The best men are no longer going into the pulpit. The age is practical and men want visible results. In turn, the infux of interior men diminishes regard for the pulpit. "Oratory as an art is dying out. In the pilgrim days men listened to preaching for nine hours at a stretch. Now they will not stand more than 25 minutes." Dr. Adler believes that in more ethics, less theology and fewer diffuse discourses on general subjects lies the cure of the clergy pilgr. PRICE OF MEAT RISING Packer Swift Says_Scarcity of Live Stock is Responsible. Denver, Cola—Harold Swift states: "Prices of meats are very high now, but there is every indication that they will go still higher. This is attributable to the high prices of corn and the consequent scarcity of livestock. As long-as the scarcity continues, it is well to educate people to use the cheaper cuts of meat. These cuts are just as good and more wholesome if properly cooked." Mr. Swift admitted that the retail dealer is making a large gross profit on meat. HIGHEST LANE FLIGHT. Louis Paulhan Rose Over 4,000 Feet at Los Angeles. Aviation Camp, Los Angeles, Cal. Louis Paulhan, the French aviator, broke all official and unofficial records for altitude in a Farman biplane. It is estimated that he rose to a height of more than 4,000 feet. As methods of measurements are not exact, this may be questioned, but it is certain that he exceeded Hubert Latham's record, made at Mourmelon, France, December 1, 1909, which was given at between 1,600 and 1,800 feet. The instrument on Paulhan's machine registered his greatest height at 4,600 feet. . STEAMER'S MEMORABLE TRIP. Seventeen of Crew of British Ship Died During Voyage. Savannah, Ga.—The British steamship Goodwin has arrived in port from Caletta Buena, Chila, after a memorable voyage. Since sailing on November 18th last for this port, 17 members of the crew of 63 men have either died or have been left behind for medical treatment. Bri-beri attacked the crew of Lascars and seven of them died. Three were buried at sea. The carpenter was washed overboard in a storm. Eight of the sailors were left at Montevideo. Captain Porter brought the ship into port with some of the crew still suffering from diseases, but improved. FARMERS ARE ADVANCING. $ ^{*} $ Great Progress Is Shown in Agricultural Purcails. New York City—"Farming in the United States has probably made more progress during 1909 than any other industry," was the comment made in Wall street by a big railroad operator. "Farmers are realizing and so are railroad men, bankers, merchants and manufacturers that to the farmer we must look for most of our substantial prosperity. The steel and iron industries may be running full tilt; the railroads may have more business than they can handle, but let the farmer get discouraged and down comes tumbling every other business enterprise," he went on. The value of farm products is placed at $8,760,000,000, an increase of $569,000,000 over 1908 and nearly double the value of ten years ago. The value of products in eleven years has been $70,000,000,000. The hay crop is valued at $655,000,000; oats at $400,000,000; potatoes at $212,000,000; tobacco at nearly $100,000,000; wheat at $725,000,000; corn at $1,720,000,000, and the lint and seed of cotton crop at $559,000,000. The production of all cereals combined is 4,711,000 bushels, an amount considerably greater than that for any other year except 1906. It exceeds the average of the preceding five years by 6.5 per cent. The value of all cereals in 1909 has never been equaled in a previous year. It is almost exactly $3,000,000,000, or 34 per cent above the five year average. The increase in the value of farm products this year over 1908 is $69,000,000, enough to buy new equipment of farm machinery for six million farms. Farming, instead of being looked upon as only the occupation for the lazy, uneducated class, now evidently takes foremost rank among the industries of America. All railroad presidents seem to agree on this point, as do many bankers, merchants and brokers with whom I have talked. DANCED WITH WIFE'S CORPSE. Man Waltzed Down Street With His Wife's Dead Body. Cincinnati, Ohio. — The unusual sight of a man singing and waltzing down Butler street toward Pearl with a corpse of a colored woman in its arms started Patrolmen McCorkhill and Reynolds. They closed in on the man, who thereupon dropped the corpse and ran. While one of the officers took after him the other conveyed the body —which later proved to be that of the man's wife—to her former home. It was learned that Harvey, grief-stricken over his wife's death, had left the house in the afternoon and did not return until midnight, when the undertakers were in the house preparing the body for burial. According to the police Harvey acted like a wild man. Grabbing a piece of wood from the kitchen, he drove everyone from the house. Then he placed a cigarette in the dead woman's mouth and, taking the body in his arms, started out of the house. He put the corpse in the front doorway, while he returned to the house and procured a bottle of whiskey. He tried to force some of the liquor down the dead woman's throat, and, falling to do tails, again picked up the body and started dancing down the street with it. FATAL AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. Three Men Killed When Auto Hit Atlanta Street Car. Atlanta, Ga.—Three occupants of a speeding-touring car were hurled to death and two others miraculously escaped with slight injuries on Peachtree road, Atlanta, when the machine went headlong into a trolley car while trying to pass between the car and another automobile. The dead are Frank George, aged 21; Harold George, aged 18, and William Garner, aged 21. Suit to Break $5,000,000 Will. Louisville, Ky.-Alleging that her brother, Louis Philip Ewald, two iron master of Louisville, left his estate or $5,000,000 to three illegitimate children and has cut her off with $15,000, Mrs. Rose Damon has filed suit contesting the will. She alleges that Ewald made his will when under fear of the mother of the children. Newsv Paragraphs. Prison Commissioner Henry Solts mon of New York advocates surgery on criminals to overcome obstacles which bar his way to successful life. "The most casual inquiry discloses among the convicts," he says, "the presence of a large variety of diseases amenable to modern surgery. They have apparently been almost totally disregarded, and the convict has been released with his physical imperfections, continuing to act as a handicap in his struggle for a livelihood." Statistics of gifts for humanity during the year 1909 foots up a total of $150,641,253, about half being in the form of gifts and half bequests. This was distributed as follows: Charity, $67,446,441; education, $46,122,241; religion, $22,443,885; art, $8,616,410; libraries, $3,012,293. At the head of the list of individual givers stands John D. Rockefeller, credited with $12,130,500, most of which went to educational agencies. Next, in-line ranks Andrew Carnegie, with a total of $4,652,500. Mrs. Russell Sage comes in with $1,851,761, and other names prominent on this roll of honour. D. K. P. Plerson, Charles E.

The practical utilization of cotton lint in the making of many grades of fine paper is almost at hand, and it is confidently expected that thousands of pounds of this staple will be manufactured into paper during the next few years, according to a report just made to the department of commerce and labor by Consul Brode in Europe. "Those who have followed events," Consul Brode says, "will have noticed numerous patents taken out with the object of utilizing the cotton for papermaking purposes, and the floating of companies for this purpose. All attempts have proved failures, with a great deal of waste capital up to the introduction of a complete dry mechanical separation of the cotton fiber from the rest of the material. When this came forward a few years ago, we made a thorough investigation of the process in Germany, since which time we have had a great deal to do with it. Cotton seed hulls are now fed continuously to a machine which produces a complete separation of tee cotton. -The fibers are automatically plucked, as it were, from the epidermis, or shell, by means of rapidly rotating arms of special construction. An air blast through the machine draws the fibers away, leaving the husk to discharge from underneath the machine free from cotton and in a condition available for cattle food. "The ordinary cotton seed hulls, which, a few years ago, were regarded as being absolutely useless, because piled up around the mills until something had to be done to get rid of them, and to do so they were burned under the boilers. As fuel they were only worth a few shillings a ton. Now the position is being altered by the methods of dry mechanical separation. The cotton that can now be completely separated from the rest of the material becomes valuable in the manufacture of paper. It can be boiled and bleached very much in the ordinary way and used for the best rag papers, for it is nothing more or less than pure virgin cotton. It requires little or no beating as regards the length of the fiber, for it is already about the right length. It requires, of course, beating in order to mellow it down to make it work wet by bruising the fibers under the roll. In the nature of things, it has a marked tendency to work very free." MORRIS BROWN COLLEGE BURNS. Negro institution in Atlanta Gutted by Fire. Atlanta, Ga—Fire broke out, on the top floor of the Morris Brown College, a colored institution, and before the firemen secured control, had entailed a loss of $25,000, which is fully covered by insurance. The origin of the fire is unknown, but there are three suppositions as to its cause, either a defective fire, some trouble with one of the stoves on the top floor used for heating purposes or a defective electric light wire. The two top stories used as dormitories for the girls were burned. The Morris Brown College is a colored co-educational institution of learning owned by the African Methodist Episcopal Church. The entire plant is worth about $150,000—the main building, the one attacked by the fire, was estimated at $8,500, without taking into consideration the value of the fixtures, which would probably make the total worth over $50,000. There is an attendance of between 800 to 1,000 students, 190 of whom are\boarders. Since the sleeping quarters of the latter have been destroyed arrangements have been made to house the girls in the men's building, waile the men will be taken care of by neighboring families. SPANISH MINISTER RECALLED. Marquis de Villalobar Loses His Post at Washington. Madrid, Spain—The Marquis de Villalobar, Spanish minister to Washington, has been transferred to Lisbon. .Washington, D. C.—Marquis de Villalobar, the Spanish minister, was greatly surprised when informed that he had been transferred. “You greatly surprise me,” said he. “I do not understand it at all, and there must be some mistake; don’t you think it, likely that your correspondent at Madrid is in error?” SENSATIONAL COTTON SLUMP. Staple Breaks $4.50 Per Bale Under Bear Raid. New Orleans, La—One of the wildest days of trading that was ever recorded on the New Orleans cotton exchange was noted, following the census bureau's report on the cotton ginned up to January 1. When the census report was received and it was announced that 9,646-285 bales had been ginned, against 12,465,298 last year, the market shot upward, but commenced to break in a most sensational manner immediately after the first call. Before the first half_hour of trading was over, prices were 80 points down from the top or $450 a bale. Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society Treasury of State of Georgia The unlawful Treasure of the State of Georgia, haedy achnowal, is here excised for the following: Dear Regent and Governor, Ellen T. Gorges (Congressman) to 14:10, in connection with the Grant of Land (50.00) accrued, due 1924. long in total Ten Thousand Dollars , and which are held by the States of Georgia , by authority and under the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly , approved October 22d, 1887 , and amended December 20th, 1887 . MORE SOIL SURVEYS U. S. Bureau of Soils to do More Work in Georgia MAKE FINE COUNTY MAPS Surveys in Bulloch and Sumter Counties Are Now Being Made by The Washington, D. C.-The bureau of soils of the United States department of agriculture has begun the winter's work in the state of Georgia with soil surveys of Bulloch and Sumter counties. With the reorganization of agricultural high schools in each congressional district, there, has been a considerable demand for soil survey work in Georgia and the examination of soils in the sections in which these agricultural high schools are located. For this reason Bulloch county, in the first district, and Sumter county, in the third district, were selected for the season's work. In Bulloch county, C. N. Mooney has charge of the soil survey, assisted at present by W. C. Byers. Owing to the large size of the county, two additional men from the soil survey force will be sent to assist Mr. Mooney, and the survey completed at an early date in 1910. J. C. Brutton, who was formerly connected with the Agricultural High School at Americus, Ga., has charge of the soil survey in Sumter county, being assigned to this work on account of his familiarity with the soils and agriculture of that section. He is assisted by Mr. Welch and the party has its headquarters at Americus during the progress of the survey. The soil surveys give an excellent county map in each case, upon which is shown in colors the extent and locations of the different kinds of land in each county. The map is also accompanied by a report on the condition of agriculture and the particular uses to which each soil in the county may best be put. The report also discusses present methods of farming and the possibility of improving these methods. It gives an account of the origin of the soils, the characteristics of each, the nature of the climate, market facilities of the region, and, in fact, constitutes an official certificate of the character of the land and the progress of agricultures in each of the localities where a soil survey is made. It is the purpose of the bureau of soils to continue soil survey work in Georgia until a good soil map has been made of each of the counties in which the agricultural high schools are located. Working from these as central points they will gradually complete the soil survey of the state. These surveys in connection with the work of agricultural high schools, will give the young farmers in Georgia an opportunity to apply directly at home the lessons learned in their agricultural school course concerning SOL. C. JOHNSON, Supt. of Ageno coils, crops and fertilizers and the best methods for soil management to produce profitable and abundant crops. MILITIA ENCAMPMENT PLANS. Officers' Camp of Instruction to Be Held in May. Atlanta, Ga.—Adjutant General A. J. Scott has received from the war department in Washington a communication approving his plan, for a camp of instruction for t officers of the National Guard Georgia, from May 9 to 15, inclusive. At that time all the infantry officers in the state service will go into camp at Fort McPherson, while the cavalry officers will go to Fort Og thorpe, Chickamauga. These officers will be organized as companies a put under capable instructors, officers of the regular army at these posts be designated by division and post commanders. No arrangement has been made for the artillery officers, as there are too many of these to send by themselves to one of the artillery posts. There is to be a regular camp of instruction for artillery officers at Fort Itley, Kans., some time in the summer and an effort will be made to get the Georgia artillery officers into this camp. Adjutant General Scott has completed and submitted to the war department in Washington his estimates of the cost of encampment this year for all the Georgia troops. He figures two total expense in round numbers at $56,000. This will include sending the coast artillery and the third and fourth battalions to Fort Screven on May 19, and the balance of the troops to the maneuvers at Fort Screven in July. The expense of this encampment is to be paid by the government. REMARKABLE COINGIDENCE Ellaville Man Has Dream He W Raid $500 For It. Americus, Ga.—A remarkable coincidence connected with the discovery of $40,000 of valuable notes longing to the Ellaville Bank a found concealed in the attic of the court house; is that the niding place according to report, was revealed in a dream to the gentleman making the discovery. So strongly impressed was he with this incident in connection with other circumstances, paticularly the suspicious lurking on a negro in the court house, that he investigated and found the note lost eighteen months ago. The reward of $500 was promptly paid by the bank. GEORGIA DAIRYMEN TO MEET. Annual Convention Will Be Held in Athens on January 27th. Athens; Ga-The Georgia Dairymen and Stock Raisers' Association will hold its annual convention in the city on January 27. The association is composed of the leading men in these lines from all over the state, and it is expected that there will be a representative gathering of prominent stockmen and dairymen assembled at the Agricultural College Hall on the 27th. P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President. Treasurer of the State of Georgia. GEORGIA NEWS NOTES. The University Cotton School open en dits third session in Athens with what promises to be the largest attendance that has ever registered for the cotton school before. The high price of Bartow county farm lands was shown when the plantation belonging to the estate of the late J. R. M. Burge, eight miles from Cartersville, was sold by the administration for the sum of $14,000. The farm lies in the seventeenth district, and third section of the county, and is on each side of the Etowah river It contains 250 acres, 35 of which are under the bed of the river. The pricer acre, exclusive of that portior which forms the bed of the river was about $70. N. M. Adams was the purchaser, and the price waid in cash. The Third District Agricultural College at Americus, among the most flourishing of the state's institutions, has opened for the spring session with a record breaking attendance, both the male and girls' dormitories being filled to their capacity. The enrollment of pupils numbers 130, and represents three states and eighteen Georgia counties. This year the military feature of the college will be given greater scope, and all male pupils will be under military discipline The Third District School is enjoying an era of the greatest prosperity this year, as last. That the railroad commission has full power to require the joint publication of schedules—arrivals and partures of passenger trains—in any community where the necessity for it exists, regardless of the expense of such publication to the railroad companies, is the opinion of Judge James K. Hines, special attorney to the railroad commission. The commission will take the matter of publication of schedules up for consideration and probable action at its next meeting, and in the light of the opinion of Judge Hines, it would see comparatively an easy matter to forecast its conclusion. The commission has uniformly adopted the opinions of Judge Hines heretofore rendered. New buildings and improvements to the amount of $550,000 were constructed in Rome during the past year. During the past year 125 residences were constructed in Rome, and are approximately fifty business buildings. Delegations from Atlanta, Rome and Augusta are in Washington to appen before the rivers and harbors committee in behalf of various waterway improvements projects of interest to Georgia. J. N. King and J. L. Bass of Rome urged the improvement of the Coosa river. Messrs. L. H. Chapell, Drummond and Smith are in Washington from Columbus, presented arguments in behalf of the Chattahoochee river and St. Andrews bay work. A representative from the firm of Candler, Thompson & Hirsch of Atlanta will attend the hearing of the Apalachicola harbor and St. Andrews bay improvement project. A delegation from Augusta will be heard in regard to improving the navigability of the Savannah river between Augusta and Savannah.

This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has compiled with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business. That we pay our claims promptly can be testified to by the thousands of our satisfied members. Agents Wanted Everywhere that the usual amount of local work will be carried on. Many thousands of dollars were given to Georgia institutions through the will of the late Mrs. Eliza E. Reynolds, which was probated in common form at Savannah. One-third of the interest on $5,000 is given trustees of the First Baptist Church of Savannah, while the other, two-thirds is to care for a lot at Laurel Grove Cemetery, where Mrs. Reynolds rests. Her name during her first marriage, Eliza E. Groover, is to be put on thruault. The other Savannah bequest is $1,000, to be Savannah's Female Orphan Asylum. Mercer University gets ten thousand dollars, which is to be known as the Charles E. Groover memorial fund. Monroe Female College at Forsyth, gets $5,000. The Georgia Baptist Orphans' Home Association, Hapeville, Fulton county, gets $5,000 as a memorial to Mrs. Reynolds' mother, Cassandra C. Tillman Mrs. James L. Key of Atlanta get $12,500 and Josejh B. Tillman ar Charles T. Tillman, both of Quitman get a like amount each. Marie Hebert Rhodes, Quitman, gets $6,251 After all the bequests Charles T. Tillman gets the remainder. Through a deal closed in New York the Mutual Light and Water Company and the City and Suburban Railway Company; Brunswick's public service corporations, controlling the light, water power and transportation franchises, have passed into the control of a new $10,000,000 stock company, the Brunswick Terminal and Railway Securities Company, which succeeds the $5,000,000 Brunswick Dock and City Improvement Company, which for years has owned nearly 2,000 lots in this city in addition considerable acreage in the suburbs. As a result of the merger the proposed extension of the Georgia Coast and Piedmont from Darien to this city will be put through as soon as McIntosh and Glynn counties provide for the bridges across the Altamaha river. The big land company, which for years, has been dormant, owning little or no improved property, will, it is claimed, bring about large developments. Thirty-two thousand dollars was paid for the plantation and residence of late Mrs. Pauline Allen Hill at Americus, the property being disposed of at administrator's sale. The figures realized were considered quite satisfactory. Thirty-three new state banks were granted charters in Georgia during the year 1909. These new banks start business with a combined capital stock of $1,195,000. The railroad commission has adduced a new rule relative to delivery by express companies, requiring that wherever a delivery service is maintained, deliveries shall be free within a radius of one mile from the company's office. The rule is as follows: "In cities or towns in this state where delivery service is maintained by an express company, no extra charge shall be made for door delivery within a radius of one mile from the office of such company, provided the point of delivery is within the corporate limits of any such city or town." WALTER S. SCOTT, Secretary and Tr eas. - 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 11 points in Georgia to Atlanta. Rates of 3 cents per mile plus 25c, with final limits to return November 16th, 1909. This arrangement is cheaper than using the certificates. There is to be an automobile exhibition in Atlanta the same time, and the rate above mentioned has been granted on that account. So when I applied for the usual certificate plan the Company advised me that it would make said rate apply to Convention also. Connection with the programmes, I send you this letter so that there will be no mistake. Take due notice, and be governed accordingly. We have learned that changing the Convention from June to November does not meet the approval of a host of brethren. It will be remembered that the change was recommended in the President's annual address, which paper was referred to a committee; the committee reported favorably and subsequently the convention adopted and approved it by her votes. Let's go up to Atlanta in full force, and if the change is not the best, let's urge that the convention may rescind its action; but, personally, I think the change from June to November is best. 1st. It's a time in the year when the majority of the laymen have some money that they can give, as well as the pastors. 2nd. Every farmer in our convention who is interested in our work could plant one or two acres of cotton specially for conventional purposes, and in November of each year a great contest could be worked up among the farmers. 3rd. The associations belonging to our convention will have met and closed at this season—and they could send by their moderator or representative their annual donation direct to the convention, and through that medium, if properly worked up and given a fair trial before we decide to change from November back to June, it will only be a question of time before we can lay, on the conventional table from three to five thousand dollars. 4th.

There are some outstanding claims which your secretary and treasurer are compelled to meet, because all we have in the way of property stands subject to claims we made for the convention. Should you fall to provide for us so that we can meet your creditors, legal steps will be taken against us immediately. Now, if you cannot come to Atlanta, please send $1.00 as your enrollment fee, and a donation from your church. Address your letter to the convention in care of the secretary. Whatever amount sent will be promptly reported and a receipt for the same will be mailed to you in return from Atlanta, I am, Yours for success, J. A. KIRKLAND, Rec. Sec. M. B. C. of Georgia. PENSIONERS TO BE PAID. Money is Now Ready for Confederate Veterans. Atlanta, Ga—It is now only a question of how soon Pension Commission Lindsey can get ready to pay the confederate veterans their pensions, for Governor Brown has notified him that he is ready to draw his warrant on the treasury for the total amount of the claims, $940,000. Since the first of January tax money has been coming in rapidly until now there is more than enough on hand to pay the pension claims. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: OPPORTUNITIES lost will never return. THE selfishness in some men will eventually be their down fall. ACCUMULATE money and secure homes. These are telling blows for race progress. LET us acquire the habit of doing well the little things, and the big ones will take care of themselves. THE trustees of Morris Brown College have the sympathy of the people of the state in the destroying by fire of the large four story bybuilding on Tuesday night. The damage is estimated at $25,000. The Methodists all over the state should begin now a campaign to rebuild. In speaking to a member of the trustees' board THE TRIBUNE's editor 'made that suggestion and offered a donation. There is no reason why this amount can not be raised in a short time and have this building replaced in time for the fall opening of the collge. DURNING the week an old colored lady died in Milledgeville. She was faithful to those whom she served and made herself indispensible. At her death her funeral was attended by many of the leading white people of Milledgeville, and the pallbearers were among some of the prominent white men. They appreciated the service of the faithful deceased and showed it in a becoming manner. We are never tired admonishing our young men and women, matters not in what station in life or service, to be faithful and efficient and the result will be beneficial. The other night or rather early one morning in Atlanta several white men were raided in a basement room with colored women. All were arrested. This is an awful offence. Our only regret is that there is not a law to confine such guilty parties in the penitentiary for a number of years. Miscegenation is one of the worst curses of this country. The white men, many of them who turn up their noses in scorn of the Negro, are guilty of this offense. The Negro woman who allows herself to be thus used is a disgrace to the race and should be ostracised completely. In any community where such women are found, they should be so treated as to be compelled to seek refuge some where else. During the week the Chamber of Commerce acted adversely on a request for the endorsing of the proposed Emancipation Exposition as presented by a local party. This adverse action also met the approval of the mayor. THE TRIBUNE is desirous of letting our people understand that the Chamber of Commerce, the mayor and the white business men are interested in their welfare and will do everything consistent to help them. They are not inimical to the movement for the exposition and will not endorse it until they are shown that colored and white men of national repute are behind it, backed up by local colored business men of standing. In a recent letter of instruction to supervisors of the census throughout the county, Census Director Durand touched on the selection of Negroes as enumerators and urged their appointment in districts where two-fifths or more consist of their race. The supervisor for this district is Mr. F. X. Douglass. He can be found at the Custom House. Apply for places before Jan. 30. City enumerators will be employed 14 days or under; country enumerators for 30 days or under. Work begins April 15th. Remuneration is about $3. a day. Qualifications of enumerators are honesty, legible handwriting, ability to read, understand and explain the questions to be asked of the people. Resident of the district to be enumerated. THE superintendent of Atlanta stockade and a guard have been convicted in Superior Court for cruelly treating a prisoner. This much is out of the usual, but we feel sure that the conviction was caused by the recent stockade investigation, which has proven that Atlanta's prison is the worse in the country. THE TIBUNE has always commended our County Commissioners for their humane treatment of prisoners under them. For this they are receiving plaudits for having the best camps in the state. Aside from this these gentlemen are now preparing to separate the consumptive prisoners in jail in order to protect those not affected. A Little Learning. Here are a few history answers collected in New York State Education. Department in the past year: Modern conveniences. Incubators and fireless telegraphy. The Republican Party was formerly known as the Free Spoil. The President takes the yoke of office. The salaries of teachers are paid from the dog-tax. Benjamin Franklin produced electricity by rubbing cats backwards. Lincoln had a woman make him a suit of homespun from rails which he had split. They were hickory rails, hence hickory shirts. The cause of the Revolution was that the colonists wanted room to pasture their cattle. The Spoil system: The place where spoil things and waste are kept. The board of health has largely taken the place of this. The difference between Jackson and Roosevelt is that Jackson has been dead a long time and Roosevelt is in Africa shooting lions.—Woman's Home Companion for January. Division Convention No. 1 of the 12 District of the G. U. O. of O. F. of Georgia, Annual Meeting; Harris Street Hall. Savannah, Ga., Dec. 19, 1099. At the time especially set aside by the constitution, the above named convention met in its annual session. A majority of the lodges of the division was present, and according to the report of the committee on credentials, these representatives were qualified and thereupon, the convention was pronounced ready for business by W D armstrong, D D and president of the aforesaid convention. The welcome address was delivered by W H Davis, N G of Armstrong Lodge 8048, and was a masterpiece in preparation and rendition. It dealt with the real vitality of the Order, and down deep beneath the splendid and masterly composition of the paper, lay the causes giving rise to the declaration of the speaker. But so shrewdly were they wrapped by pleasing phraseology that the average hearer, mayhap, did not catch their actual signification. It was, however, a great effort and gave great weight and dignity to this particular part of the program. Brother Davis is a power, and if he will 'hold his bearings', he will be felt in the greater councils of Oddfellowship. District Deputy Armstrong's report was clear cut and concise. It told of the progress of the order since the appointment of deputies, and of the wisdom of said appointments. He showed that the business intrusted to his care had been safe guarded and that every move upon his heart had been for the good of the order. To this expression, the entire convention said, Amen." Short talks were made by Bros. R Barnes, P L Bowen, S S Sanders, R Nutledge and others. The absence of Prof John McNish, on account of sickness was very much deplored. The Professor was scheduled to deliver the annual address and, knowing him to be "subtle of disquisition forceful of imagination, energetic and eloquent of expression," we felt that we missed a treat. Bro, J C Ingram of Egypt, Ga. vice president of the convention, was absent, also, on account of sickness. Bro. Ingram and his queenly wife entertained the convention last year, and the hospitalities shown cannot be forgotten by those who attended it. Prof. W D Kennedy, secretary of the convention was there with the goods, and as a result of his efficient services, was reelected, unanimously. Prof. Kennedy is a powerful man with a prolific mind, and, in time, it will be seen that another great leader of men is with us. His star is already above the horizon and men are beginning to note its significant and radiations. The convention, after a few skirmishes anent the next place of meeting, decided upon Ludowici, Ga, After which the meeting adjourned. St. Mary's Dots. The holidays are past and the bright New Year with a glorious down. We hope for the betterment of the race. Emancipation Day was well observed, several addresses were made by different ones, Mr. T.

Rv Singleton's subjects of discourse are very interesting also is the rithallistic service every Sunday at the morning service. The discourses on last Sunday were very interesting especially on Sunday night and the plea that was made to the parents and guardian concerning the welfare of their children and the warning given the young men and young women and girls was most pathetic. There should have been hundreds of our young people out to hear the subject discussed they would have been much benefited. Sunday night after services the following trustees of St. Phillips were installed to serve for the ensuing year; J W Williams, Dr J H King, A W White, J M Northington.

Last Sunday night the annual congregational meeting took place in St. Benedict's Church. Father Obrecht gave the financial report of the year. This report shows the splendid condition of the finances of our church, and the surprising generosity of the members and the friends of the church. Mr. James Dowsse and Mr. Robert Gibson spoke in the name of the congregation and expressed to the priests their heartfelt gratitude for the great work they have done for the temporal and spiritual welfare of the colored Catholics in Savannah. Special reference was made to the wonderful work accomplished by the priests of the African Mission society for the education of the colored children in Savannah and in the surrounding districts. Three years ago when Very Rev. Ignatius Lissner took charge of the colored Catholics in our city, there was one little school with about 40 children; today over 300 children frequent our three schools, and a fourth school will be opened next October. One half of these children get an entirely free education; some of the others pay 5 cents a week; and a small number give 10 cents a week. Several thousands of dollars have been spent for the buying of the land and the erecting of the schools. St. James Dots.

He described most vividly the different ways in which prayers are made and the different attitudes taken by the petitioner. He said that if we were sincere God will surely answer our prayers. The sermon was excellent and many a good reason was gleaned to as why we should serve the Lord earnestly and truthfully. The choir sang "Far away to my Savior." Rev. Wright led the hymn, "Am I a soldier of the cross." He invited those who felt the need of prayer to the mercy seat; quite a number bowed and Deacon John Marsh prayed, a beautiful prayer in their behalf.

S. H. SIR WILLIAM HENRY PERKIN, The Famous English Chemist to Whom the Entire World is Indebted For the Practical Processes For Making the Coal Tar Products That Play so Important a Part in the World's Progress To-day, and Are Used Daily by All of Us. It is Bound to Succeed in This Country, Justice Declares, However Slowly. Supreme Court Justice David J. Brewer has come out for woman suffrage, saying it is bound to come in this country, however slowly. But he criticises the English suffragettes, saying their conduct would not be tolerated here. "Woman suffrage will come," says he, in the Ladies' World, "not fully at once, but by varying steps. Woman's broader education, her increasing familiarity with business and public affairs, will lead to it. And why not? The chief reply is the home. God forbid that it should be jeopardized, for upon it in all fullness depends the best social life. In fact, it is the basis upon which growing humanity depends. And in it woman must ever be the great factor, the 2MOI 7 2M01 7 DAVID JOSIAH BREWER. unchallenged queen. Buttemple suffrage will not debase the house or lessen its power and influence. "On the other hand, it will introduce a refining and uplifting power into our political life. It will not stop marriage, neither will a higher education. The great natural laws of our being will always assert themselves. Speaking at a Vassar commemmentment a few years since, I overheard one of the graduates say to two others, 'I am simply disgusted, three-fourths of the girls are engaged already.' Evidently she was not one of the happy ones. It is to be hoped that afterward she fared better. But woman, conscious of her independence, and capacity to support herself, will demand true manhood in her husband. Children will come. However, the glory of the home will not be in the number, but in the quality of the offspring. Race suicide is not the worse offense. There is wisdom in the tale of love and the loness. The former, boasting of her litter, sneered at the latter, for her single offspring. Yes, was the reply, but he is a lion. To load a home with so many children that the mother cannot give to each the full blessings of a mother's care and attention is far worse than race suicide. Not crime but mutual self-deal, should and will, place reasonable limits on the number of the family group.

Plato. His Longest Engagement. At the Army and Navy Club in Washington one evening a group of officers, most of them young men, were swapping stories of various engagements during the war with Spain and the subsequent troubles in the Philippines. Among the silent listeners was one grizzled veteran, a naval commander of national renown. It must have occurred to one of the young men that it was peculiarly ludicrous that officers not long out of the academies should be holding forth with respect to their enlisted, while this old fellow sat silent in a corner. So turning to the veteran one of the young officers blithly asked: "What is the longest engagement you ever participated in, Admiral?" "It lasted three years," said the old chap, without a suspicion of a smile, "and worst of all, the young woman married another man."—Washington Post. 0 Takes Tops Off Cans. Another invention for use in the kitchen is the can opener designed by a Washington man. This apparatus is of especial value in hotels and restaurants, as it does the work much quicker than the old-style opener, but because of its efficiency it will also be a welcome addition to home kitchen utensils. It consists of an upright, to which a handle is fulcrum, as a lever. Underneath this handle is a knife of open circular form, with a recess which divides it PEA Useful in Restaurants. into two substantially semi-circular sections, with the cuttings edge inclining upward from the front end, which has two depending spurs. At the upon rear end is a screw, by which the ends may be opened or closed. The can is placed directly under the knife, and by means of the handle the knife is pressed down upon the top. The spurs penetrate the tilt and the knife blade follows, cutting a circular piece from the top of the can.—Washington Star. BACKACHE-A SIGNAL OF DISTRESS Pain in the back is the kidneys signal of distress. If this timely warning is ignored, kidney disease silently fastens its deadly grip--for kidney sickness first shows itself in pains and disorders in other parts, and the real cause is too often hidden until fatal Bright's disease or diabetes has set in. Suspect the kidneys if you are rheumatic and nervous or have lame back, painful, too frequent or scanty urination, weak heart, dizzy spells, headaches, bloating or neuralgia. What you want is a special kidney medicine--not an experiment, but one that has stood the test for years. Doan's Kidney Pills relieve weak, congested kidneys--cure backache--regulate the urine. A KIDNEY REMEDY OF 75 YEARS' EXPERIENCE DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS began curing lame backs and sick kidneys.75 years ago. The demand lead a nearby druggist, James Doan, to prepare it for sale.

"Every Picture Tells A Story" DOANS KIDNEY PILLS If you don't hear it's your kidnaps Strangers seeking accommodations in Brookton during the fair tell many funny stories of their experiences. One man, after ringing hesitatingly the night bell, was answered by a grunt voice informing him that there remained only one room, and that beside a very nervous and irritable old gentleman, who had been in the hotel for some time and was a star boarder there. After the poor follow, tired by his day's sightseeing, promised to be very careful not to make any noise, he was allowed to enter. Undressing hurriedly, he thoughtlessly allowed one shoe to fall with a rounding crash; then catching himself, he carefully laid down the other, and crawled beneath the quilts, only to be disturbed about a half hour later by a knook at the door. Upon asking what the intruder wanted a high, shrill voice piped out, "Hey, there, why don't you put down that other shoe, or are you a one-legged man?"—Boston Record.

Head, back and legs ache? Throat sore, with chills? That is-La Gripe. Take Perry Davis' Painkiller at once. The colored troops serve nobly. Desertions from colored regiments, do not average one-tenth of those from white regiments. This fidelity to the colors may be partly due to the truth of an old army, saying that the service offers to the white man a refuge and, to the colored man a career. Men pass lifetimes in the colored regiments contented in the assurance of the retired pay that awaits long service and good records. Between officers and men grow up long trust and confidence that even Brownysfile has been powerless, to shake Boston Transcript. LLS began curing lame backs and sick kidneys.75 years ago.

DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS MAKE LASTING CURES C. P. Bartling, 136 Middle St., New Bern, N. O., says: "For some time I suffered from a severe case of kidney complaint. I had dull, grinding backaches and pains across my loins, and felt miserable in every way. Often I was in such a condition that I could not attend to my work. The kidney secretions were irregular in passage and unnatural, plainly showing that my kidneys were not performing their functions properly. Learning of Doan's Kidney Pills, I decided to try them and procured a box at Bradham's Drug Store. I began their use, as directed and in a short time they effected a complete cure." (Statement given Apr. 2, 1903.) On Jan. 25, 1908, Mr. Bartling said: "I gave a statement publicly recommending Doan's Kidney Pills in 1903 and at this time I gladly confirm all I then said.

Owing to the high price of cotton, the German textile experts have been turning their attention to other fibres which might be used as a substitute for it. A spinning company at Chemnitz has succeeded recently in using the fibre contained in the seeds of the kapok, or silk cotton tree of the tropics. In its natural state this fibre cannot be spun, owing to its extreme brittleness, but Professor Goldberg, of Chemnitz, has found a method of treating it to make it spinnable, and the yarn is described as having a peculiarly soft, silky feeling. The fibre has hitherto been in use as padding for furniture and in making pillows and similar articles, and it has answered this purpose so well that the cultivation of the tree has already been introduced into the German colonies of New Guinea and East Africa. The fibre has the advantage of being considerably cheaper than cotton, but no information is at hand regarding the wearing qualities of fabrics made from it. The Lion In Africa. Somebody said the other day, after reading of the slaughter of wild beasts by Mr. Roosevelt on his present expedition, that soon there would be no lions left in Africa. H. A. Bryden, an authority on the subject, evidently holds no such opinion. Not withstanding the odds against him, he writes in Chamber's Journal, the lion in Africa still roams over an immense extent of country. He yields slowly to civilization, it is true, but in the wilder and more remote parts of the continent his reign is still practically unchallenged. It took two hundred years to drive the animal north of the Orange River, south of the Zambesi the last lion may perchance have disappeared within the next thirty or forty years. —Dundee Advertiser. Couldn't signal it. Admiral Moore tells a good story of a peppery old seaman under whom he served many years ago. During some tactical operations one of the ships of the squadron had made some bad blunders, and at length the cadmiral completely lost his temper. He stormed about his quarterdeck-and-informed, his hearers of his opinion of the officer in command of the erring ship. When he paused for want of breath he turned to the signaller and, said to him, "And you can tell him that, sir!" "The man scratched his head meditatively. "I beg pardon, sir," he ventured. "but I don't think we have quite enough names for your message." -TitB. THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH. How the Zunl Indians Have Marked the Spot, by a Crude Shrine. Why all this tuss and controversy as to whether it was Cook or Peary, or either of them, or both, that discovered the north pole? Surely the centre of the earth is as important as either extremity; and the Zunl Indians have the centre safely corralled and appropriately marked upon their reservation. They feel quite sure of it, and that ought to be sufficient. In the Zuni cosmogony, the earth is conceived of as flat, and shaped like a pantacle. Being a chosen people of the gods; they were commanded early in their tribal career to go to the exact centre of the world, and there build their homes; and one of the most interesting legends of the people relates the story of their wanderings in search of the middle place, and tells how they knew it when they reached it. It is about 200 yards south of their village in western New Mexico, thirty-five miles south of Gallup, on the Santa Fe route. It is marked by a crude shrine, built like a bake oven, out of flat stones. Two large removable magnitudes close the entrance, which faces the rising sun. On the top are a number of concretionary formations, known to the Indians as thunder stones. In the interior are large numbers of feathers tufted, prayer sticks, and several earthworms vessels filled with sacred meal. Numerous ceremonial dances, in the nature of rainmaking rites, are performed around this holy place. Kansas City Star. Tightness across the chest means a cold on the lungs.

"Every Picture Tells A Story." Mrs. Henry Sykes, Field St., Nangatuck, Conn., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills benefited me greatly and I am glad to recommend them. For some time I suffered from a dull, heavy ache across the small of my back and kidneys. My back ached constantly and if I stood in one position for any length of time, or did much stooping, my suffering was great. I was told by a friend that I wated my trouble learning of Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a box at Bremen's Drug Store, and began their use. The symptoms of my trouble began to disappear immediately and it was but a short time when I was free from kidney complaint. No words can express my high opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills. The statement given in 1899.) Oct. 1988. Mrs. Sykes, mentions I gave some years ago in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills was correct. Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of kidney disease and I have had practically no trouble from my kidneys since." LLS oprietors. DOANS KIDNEY PILLS If the Pain Is There It's Your Kidneys HABITS OF THE HEDGEHOG. Destroyer of Cockroaches—How He Gets the Better of Adders. The hedgehog, that butt of juvenile rustic horseplay, is the possessor of tastes which like Sam Weller's knowledge of London are "extensive and peculiar." Scoring fastidiousness it can make a hearty meal of nearly any insect and is one of the few vertebrates which can tackle the repulsive cockroach. For effectual extemination of beetles and crickets it is as useful as a mongoose among the rats, but it is not generally known that it has a partiality toward snakes and adders. The methods it employs for the attack are interesting. Having come upon the adder it goods that reptile to the offensive and at the first dart immediately rolls into a ball. The adder is then left to attack the spines. In which encounter it naturally comes off second best. After a little, when the hedgehog feels that his antagonist has ex hausted his power, it once more opens out and makes a bite at the adder's back, thereby breaking its spine. It then proceeds to crunch the whole of the reptile's body by means of its powerful jaws, and after that it is said to start at the tail and devour its prey. Of eggs the hedgehog is also very fond, thereby giving just cause to keepers and farmers to do strive it on eight. Cases have been known where hedgehogs actually forced the hen pheasant off her nest and then proceeded to demolish the contents. There is a tradition among country people to the effect that the hedgehog will suck the milk from cows, who certainly show strong aversion to the hedgehog, but eminent naturalists scout the idea, their explanation being that it is the heat of the cow which attracts the hedgehog, the cow's dillife being no doubt caused by unpleasant contact with the prickly spines. Hedgehogs are invulnerable to most of their enemies except man although the wily fox has been known to get the better of them occasionally.—From the Scotsman. The Boy on His Job For four consecutive nights the hotel man had watched his fair, timid guest fill her pitcher at, the water cooler. "Madam," he said on the fifth night, "if you would ring, this would be done for you." "But where is my bell?" asked the lady. "The bell is beside your bed," replied the propetitor. "That the bell!" she exclaimed. "Why; the boy told me: that was the fire alarm, and that I wasn't to touch it on any account." - Success Magaz Catarrh of the Lungs Threatened Her Life: Miss Ninette Porter, Braintree, Vermont, writes: "I have been cured by Peruna. "I had several hemorrhages of the lungs. The doctors did not help me much and would never have cured me. "I saw a testimonial in a Peruna almanac of a case similar to mine, and I commenced using it. "I was not able to wait on myself when I began using it. I gained very slowly at first, but I could see that it was helping me. "After I had taken it a while I commenced to raise up a stringy, sticky substance from my lungs. This grew less and less in quantity as I continued this treatment. "I grew more fleshy than I had been for a long time, and now I call myself well." DR. T. T.

Bawdust as a Polisher—Potato Skins to Clean Decanters. Antique glass which does not require mending but is dim and lustreless may be made to shine and sparkle once more if it is washed in water to which a little ammonia has been added. Soapsuds spell ruination to crystal ware, while drying it with a duster only serves to dim it still more. After having rinsed and left it to soak in ammonia water, using a sort brush if the glass is cut into facets and the dirt has caught in the squares the article should be placed in a box and covered with sawdust. After an hour it will be found that the wood dust has dried the glass and given it a bright lustre. The old fashioned cut crystal decanters which are so much used nowadays become almost hopelessly discolored when they have held old port or any wine which leaves a deposit. To clean them an old fashioned remedy is that of finely chopped potato skins with which the decanter should be filled, and a cork inserted in the mouth in place of the stopper. This should be left for three days for the skins to ferment, when it should be well shaken, emptied and rinsed with clear water. The decanter should either be reversed and left to drain for a day or two or may be dried more expeditiously at the side of the store.-London Evening Standard. A WOMAN DOCTOR A WOMAN DOCTOR Was Quick to See That Coffee Was Doing the Mischief. A lady tells of a bad case of coffee poisoning, and tells it in a way so simple and straightforward that literary skill could not improve it. "I had neuralgic headaches for 12 years," she says, "and suffered untold agony. When I first began to have them I welged 140 pounds, but they brought me down to 110. 'I went to many doctors and they gave me only temporary relief. So I suffered on, till one day a woman doctor told me to use Postum. She said I looked like I was coffee poisoned. "So I began to drink Postum and I galued 15 pounds in the first few weeks and continued to gain, but not so fast as at first." My headaches began to leave me after I had used Postum about two weeks—long enough to get the coffee poison out of my system. "Since I began to use Postum I can gladly say that I never know what a neuralgie headache is like any more, and it was nothing but Postum that made me well. Before I used Postum I never-went out alone; I would get bewildered and would not know which way to turn. Now I go alone and my head is as clear as a bell. My brain and nerves are stronger than they have been for years." Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. John Foster the First to Establish a Press in Boston. The Connecticut Historical Society has received from the Massachusetts Historical Society a work on "John Foster, the Earlest American Engraver and the First Boston Printer." His claims to both titles are clear set forth in the volume and, being the first of the Boston printers, he could with but little violence be considered as in the ancestry of The Courant. Foster was born in 1648 and graduated from Harvard College in 1667. Because of his learning he was a schoolmaster as well as a printer and engraver. That he was well thought of is shown by a letter written by John Ellot, the Indian apostle, who refers to him as "an ingenious young scholar." A specimen of his work as an engraver is a picture of Richard Mather, who, after making all possible allowance for the unsterility of the Puritans, could not possibly have looked as forbidden as he is depicted. Another work by Foster appears on a broadside entitled "God's Severe Judgments Upon Sabbath Breakers in Their Unlawful Sports, Collected Out of Several Divine Subjects." It bears four cuts by Foster, one showing the drowning of a party of young men who were playing football on the ice on the Lord's day, another the burning of a woman and her two daughters who were drying and spinning flax on the Sabbath, a third the burning of a mill because the miller was grinding on Sunday and the fourth a Biblical scene showing the punishment inflicted on Sabbath breakers. All are thoughtfully provided with captions in order that they may be recognized. Foster was more active as a printer than as an engraver and, like the men of his time, he printed sermons and especially those delivered by Increase Mather. One notable example is "The Wicked Man's Portion. Or a Sermon Preached at the Lecure in Boston on the 18th day of the 1 Moneth, 1674, when two Men, Nicholas Feaver and Robert Driver, were executed who had Murhered their Master Wherein is Shewed that Excess in Wickedness doth bring Untimely Death." The Dorchester records bear this entry under date of 1681: "This year died Mr. John Foster, son of Captain Hopestill Foster, schoolmaster of the colony, and he that made the then seal of arms of the colony, namely an Indian with a bow & arrow." He was of such importance that an elegy upon him was written and printed, fortunately after his death. It contains some seventy-five lines and its character can be judged by its beginning, which follows: "Here lye the relict Fragments that were took Out of Consumption's teeth by the Cook. Voracious appetite dost titus devour Scarce ought hast left for Worms t' live on an Hearn." A Soft Snap. "Hay all in? asked Amzi Cloverbud of Israel Pepperpod, as they drew rein in the road leading to the village. "All in," said Israel. "I reckon I'll finish up mine by Sat'day. What are you doin' now?" "No much o' nuthin' Havin' a kind of a soft snap of it. Ain't milkin' but nine cows now, an' I take it easy in bed until 'most 5 o' clock mornin' . Fact is, I ain't got much to do this fall but dig ten or twelve acres o' pertaters and grub out six or eight acres o' my timber land an' git it ready to seed down in the spring an' git seventy-five cord o' wood I agreed to deliver in town by Christmas. Got to put up 'bout half a mile o' wire fence an' shingle my barn an' putter round at work o' that sort, but I got so much less than usual to do that I feel as if I was havin' a kind of a soft snap of it."—Puck. Matured in a Country House. In former days it was always at the end of the London season that one heard tidings of "interesting" engagements, but now it seems as if this, like so many other customs, has changed, for autumn and winter appear to be the times when young men's fancies turn to thoughts of love much more than in the season itself. This bears out a pet theory of mine, that the young people see a great deal more of each other during a country house visit of four or five days than they do at all the balls of a London season put together. Therefore to mothers who wish to get their daughters what early Victorian writers called "an establishment" I strongly recommend a course of country house visiting, which possesses the additional advantage over town meetings of making young people less artificial and more natural. — Gentlewoman.

"There is but one woman in Louisiana who holds a State office, and special legislation had to be enacted so she could be eligible," said Captain R. B. Milroy of New Orleans. "Under the terms of the Louisiana statute before any person can hold a public office of any description it is necessary for such person to be an elector, and as women can't vote in our State the prohibition is almost absolute. Because of the peculiar fitness and ability of Miss Jean Gordon it was desired that she be made factory inspector, and so her friends were instrumental in having an amendment to the law passed that authorized the employment of women in certain specified cases. "Since then a Miss McCall was elected to be superintendent of schools of one of our parishes, but it is not considered at all probable that she will be deemed eligible to act, as her case is entirely different from that of Miss Gordon. The Attorney General has the question under advisement, and it is not a hard guess that he will have to decide against the lady."—Baltimore American. BITTEN. She had just got, her second divorce.

"Well, boss," Cathoun White replied, "my brother Webster died yesterday and I want to take the corpse up to Society Hill and let the family view the remains, and then I'll bring him back to Salters Depot here and bury him.

"Four years ago I suffered severely with a terrible eczema, being a mass of sores from head to feet and for six weeks confined to my bed. During that time I suffered continual torture from itching and burning. After being given up by my doctor I was advised to try Cuticura Remedies. After the first bath with Cuticura Soap and application of Cuticura Ointment I enjoyed the first good sleep during my entire illness. I also used Cuticura Resolvent and the treatment was continued for about three weeks. At the end of that time I was able to be about the house, entirely cured, and have felt no ill effects since. I would advise any person suffering from any form of skin trouble to try the Cuticura Remedies, as I know what they did for me. Mrs. Edward Nenling, 1112 Salina St., Watertown, N. Y., Apr. 11, 1909."

Cincinnati, Ohio.—Alexander McDonald, the oil millionaire, made some declarations on the high cost of living that will challenge attention, coming as they do from one of the original Standard Oil magnates. Mr. McDonald, who is seventy-six years old, and confined to his home by feeble health, nevertheless keeps in close touch with current events. He said: "It is becoming impossible for the wage worker to make both ends meet. I do not recall when the cost of living was so high. Wages have not kept pace with prices. We will have to have a readjustment somewhere. "It is not good that the mass of our people should be forced to live a hand-to-mouth existence. There is no incentive to work that produces nothing for the future. The saving ability of our people must not be curtailed ing for the future. The saving ability of our people must not be curtailed. He must not chomp pay the present high prices can support a family and save at the summer. The ability of our children cannot be anything but bad. It discourages marriage, among other things, and those who have means are living too extravagantly. "The automobile, for instance, unfortunately has become a sign of financial standing. The result is that it is now often acquired as much for show as for use. "This is an age of much business. We find rich American girls buying titles. I say that nine-tenths of such marriages are purely commercial. It is most deplorable. "I have two grandchildren (the Misses Stallo). Should any one ask for the hand of one of these girls and mention money at the same time, I would order him to clear out." FOR COST OF LIVING INQUIRY. Congressman Hull Asks For an Investigation---Mr. Douglas, of Ohio, Statesman-Farmer, Gives His Ideas on the Situation--Wants Rush Made For Farms--Let Everybody Produce and Prices Fall. Washington, D. C.—Members of Congress who insist that the salary of $7500 a year, which they receive now, does not go as far as their old salary of $5000 did a few years ago, are much agitated over the rapidly increasing prices of the necessities of life. This subject promises to be talked about a great deal in the House and Senate this year. It is regarded as practically certain that a joint commission will be appointed to investigate. A resolution by Mr. Hull, Democrat, of Tennessee, provides for a committee of seven Representatives and five Senators to investigate if the high prices are due to: made to yield 300 bushels of potatoes to the acre where twenty now grow, a great many worthy people who now eke out a precarious existence laying brick and driving hacks and running trolley cars would be for the country and proceed to get wealthy. This, in its turn, would result in greatly increasing the production of all the necessities of life, which in volume have fallen behind the steadily increasing percentage of population. He had an imposing array of figures to present to the House to prove that while the population of the United States had been jumping ahead by leaps and bounds for the last twenty years the production of cattle, 1. Trusts and combinations. 2. The increased volume of money. 3. Increase in city population. 4. Increase in demand and decrease in supply. 5. Increase of the Government's bonded debt, or 6. The tariff. This resolution declares that the prices of the necessities, of life have increased from eleven to thirty per cent. in the last twelve months. It is asserted that the high prices of beef have enabled the Armour Packing Company to make a net profit of more than thirty-five per cent. on its capitalization. Mr. Hull charges that the price of sugar is two cents a pound higher in the United States than in foreign countries and that this commodity is controlled by the Sugar Trust. The most interesting development in the high price problem at the Capitol was a carefully prepared speech by Mr. Douglas, of Ohio, who succeeded that eminent statistician and prognosticator, Charles Henry Grosvenor. Ever since Mr. Douglas was attending a performance in the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, and a pair of opera glasses fell from the third balcony and bounced off his head he has been deeply interested in weighty problems. He has given a great deal of thought to this subject, and turned loose the result in a 7000-word speech. Mr. Douglas has a theory that he thinks would settle this high price proposition. He believes that it country life could be made sufficiently attractive to intelligent men and women, farm houses fitted with open plumbing, planolas and mission wood furniture and the land toned up and H. P. Whitney Buys Father's Man- New York City.—The magnificent mansion built and furnished at lavish expense by the late William C. Whitney on Fifth avenue was purchased by his son, Harry Payne Whitney, at a price said to be a trifle under $3,000,000. He obtains the mansion with all of its costly fittings practically intact as left by his father on his death seven years ago. In 1904 the house was sold by the Whitney estate to the late James Henry Smith. made to yield 300 bushels of potatoes to the acre where twenty now grow, a great many worthy people who now eke out a precarious existence laying brick and driving hacks and running trolley cars would be for the country and proceed to get wealthy. This, in its turn, would result in greatly increasing the production of all the necessities of life, which in volume have fallen behind the steadily increasing percentage of population. He had an imposing array of figures to present to the House to prove that while the population of the United States had been jumping ahead by leaps and bounds for the last twenty years the production of cattle, hogs, sheep, grain, potatoes and other meat and vegetables, staples had fallen behind. Out on his farm in Ohio Mr. Douglas raises lots of things. One of the ways he makes money so that he can stay in Congress is by fattening thin cattle and selling them to the Beef Trust. "I get so much money for my fat stock," he said, with tears in his eyes, "that I am ashamed to take it." Mr. Douglas added that any man who had been running a decent farm for the last five years and hadn't got so wealthy that he had Brussels carpet on the woodshed floor and a pedigree Great Dane sitting on the front porch had only himself to blame. Secretary of Agriculture - Wilson told Mr. Douglas just the other day, he said, of an instance in New York not six miles from Ithaca where land had been sold recently for $2 an acre. Representatives John Dwight and Dryden and Representative Bennet, of the Bronx, later confirmed these figures. The Secretary also told Mr. Douglas of the case of a New York farmer who, had a poor, worn-out hill farm on which he had raised the year before only twenty bushels of potatoes to the acre. At that none of them were large enough for market. The farmer was induced by an agent of the Department to try an experiment with his land. He was supplied with Government seed potatoes, told how to do the trick, and without the use of fertilizer he came across with 200 bushels to the acre, and since then has raised nothing but potatoes. That Mr. Douglas considers an argument for a greatly increased appropriation for agricultural purposes. Americans Restore Chapel Built in England by Prisoners of 1812. London.—The little stone chapel of Prince Town, Devonshire, built under forced labor by the American sailors confined in the adjoining Dartmoor prison during the War of 1812, has been restored, and a window has been placed in it to the memory of those engaged in the original work. The cost of this renovation and the window has been borne by Americans. The-vicar of the church recently appealed to the American public for funds to restore the building. The rate of the pulse of a healthy, person is four times that of the respiration. A new kind of plano, the choral-celo, has the ordinary keys and hammers, which may be used if desired, but is also provided with electro magnets, arranged to vibrate the wires without striking with the hammers. To get rid of the fluttering effect of moving pictures, an inventor has applied the principle of the stereoscope, the picture being thrown on the screen by two lenses, in front of which shutters open and close alternately, so rapidly that there is no break in the series. From a report of comparative tests made by an American trunk line on the new ferro-titanium steel rails and those of the Bessemer type, it is noted that the wear on the former showed 1.45 pounds per yard, as against 4.18 pounds per yard on the latter, which is nearly 300 per cent. in favor of the new alloy steel. The United States Geological Survey reports that in 1908 California produced $18,761,559 in gold, 1,647,-278 ounces of silver valued at $873,-057, and 706 ounces of refined platinum valued at $13,414. This platinum was all produced at placer mines in Butte, Humboldt, Siskiyou, Trinity, Calaveras, Sacramento and Del Norte Counties, three-fourths of it having been mined in Butte County. On the suggestion of Professor Tissot, of France, an international commission has been organized for the purpose of transmitting wireless time signals from stations suitably located on coasts and islands to vessels navigating all waters. The establishment of this system would make the determination of longitude at sea very accurate and independent of the errors of the chronometer, which, indeed, would become superfluous. For transmitting the time signals Tissot recommends the wave length of 1800 meters, or about 5900 feet, which is used at the Eiffel tower station. SEVENTY YEARS OF EATING. In That Time a Man Consumes 95 Tons of Food and Drink. If a man of seventy years was starving, it probably would be little comfort to him to think that he had consumed in the course of his life fifty-three and three-quarter tons of solid food and forty-two and three- quarter tons of liquid, or about 1280 times his own weight in both solids and liquids, but it would be true. Being a man of average appetite and purse he would have eaten fifteen tons of bread, which would have made a single loaf containing 1200 cubic feet and appearing about as large as the average suburban home; and on this bread he would have spread one ton of butter. If his bacon had been cut in a single slice, says Harper's Weekly, the strip would have been four miles long and his chops placed end to end would have extended two miles. Twenty ordinary sized bullocks have supplied him with beef, eighteen tons of which he has eaten, along with five tons of fish and 10,000 eggs and 350 pounds of cheese. If he had elected to have all his vegetables served at once they would have come to him in a train of cars, the pod containing all his peas being over three miles long. He has had 9000 pounds of sugar, 1500 pounds of salt, eight pounds of pepper and 100 cans of mustard. Three pints of liquid a day would have amounted to 76,600 pints, or forty-two and three-quarter tons. If he had been a smoker he would have burned about half a ton of tobacco in a pipe, or if he preferred cigarettes would have smoked about a quarter of a million. Deserten's Strange Career. 'After an absence of forty years John Peck, a native of Nottingham, returned to England recently and discovered that he was still liable to be arrested for having deserted from his regiment in 1869. His career, however, has been so remarkable that when the facts were related the War Office not only granted him a free pardon but a pension as well. Peck ran away from house at the age of twelve and went to sea. He subsequently joined the army and served in the Crimea. After peace was declared he got transferred to another regiment and was ordered out to India, where he went through the mutiny. Later he quarreled with an officer and deserted. He had a hard time as a South African diamond prospector, but whenever a chance of fighting occurred he always embraced it, and so he served against the Basutos, the Zulus and the Boers. His relatives had not heard of him for fifty-three years, when he recently reappeared. He is now seventy-two years of age and is bent on going back to South Africa to find work in the mines.—London Daily Mall. Thousands of Private Schools Twenty years ago the number of private schools was small; ten years ago there was noted a decided increase, and to-day America is supporting something like 8000 permanently established educational institutions exclusive of the public schools. Educational Review. Brother Charles W. Oliver, W. M., of Mt. Pisgah Lodge No. 53, Columbus, Ga., delivered an able annual address to his lodge and brethren December 14, 1909. It was the closing of the first year's work of Brother Oliver as Master of his lodge. Among other things he said: "When I was called to the east I found January 1, 1909, with a membership of thirty-six and a cash balance of $54.85; tonight we have a membership of forty-nine members and a cash balance of $165.70. We collected $387.75 and paid out $276.90. Peace and harmony have prevailed the entire year. No deaths have been recorded. On the whole the year has been one of prosperity and hard work." The address was forwarded to the Grand Master and he has given it his approval, and only wishes all Masters would follow this young Master's plan in making annual addresses so the members can see just whether or not anything has been done during the year or not. The above is a good report and other brethren are asked to take due notice and so be governed. The thirteen lodges in Atlanta have all installed their officers and have started out to make this one of the greatest years Masonically in this city and section. They all are giving the Grand Master their hearty support in his efforts to clean out the East. He has told the lodges that as far as in his power to prevent, no brother should preside over a lodge of Masons in the jurisdiction who would not pay his debts, be honest, moral and upright. One installation was held up here for a while until the brother adjusted himself. We hope the brethren in the other sections of the jurisdiction will be on the lookout and have clean men in the offices, for if they are not and the Grand Master finds it out there will be something doing. Our whole organization must be clean and stand for cleanliness. REASON APPARENT. Recently a prominent citizen died. He was a member of a Masonic lodge. The deceased brother had been a member over twelve years, but had visited the lodge but once after being made a Mason. The family requested a Masonic burial. Some eighteen officers and members of the lodge turned out to perform the services. A personal friend of the family complained bitterly of the small attendance of Masons. He called attention to the fact that the dead brother was a "leading citizen." The friend also referred to a previous funeral, at which over one hundred members of the lodge had been present and, yet, the brother whose funeral was so largely attended was a "comparatively unknown man." It should require no mental effort to find an explanation why few Masons were in attendance at the funeral of the "leading citizen" and so many at the burial of the "comparatively unknown." The former had failed to attend the lodge and was unknown as a Mason. The latter was regular in attendance and had many warm personal friends in the lodge. He did his Masonic duty to his lodge and his brethren, and they were on hand to pay a last tribute of respect at his funeral. While he was comparatively unknown, to the outside world, he was well known in his lodge. This is another evidence that worldly possessions do not make Masons—Masonic Chronicle. VISITING THE SICK. The craft cannot plead ignorance of duty to visit the sick, for they are repeatedly instructed that 'to relieve the distress is a duty incumbent on all men, but particularly on Masons, who are linked together by an indissoluble chain of sincere affection. They know that the sick and others in need have strong moral claims upon them for aid and care, and, ability permitting, that they must meet the responsibility or be deemed Masonically neglectful. When Free Masonry is in the heart it will come out in the daily walk. Tails is exactly the fact as to Masonic charity. If the love of humanity, and of doing good, is not in the soul it will not be manifested in the life. As a distinguished brother has affirmed, "Relief flows from brotherly love, as free, pure, and refreshing as the mountain air. It dries up the gushing fountains of grief, banishes want from the abode of a distressed brother, and pours the oil of joy into wounded hearts of the widow and orphan." Proper visiting of the sick cheers, comforts and helps them, and often does more good than medicine. Then it is "oil of joy" to them.—John W. Brown. FREEMASONRY A WORLD POWER. Freemasonry is indeed a world power in the best and truest sense of that term, for its influence and power for good among men are world wide. From the rising to the setting sun, on every continent, on the islands of the sea, Freemasons frequently are assembling, in Grand Lodge, or in particular lodge, or by twos and threes, for the propagation of Masonic tenets and truths and the dissemination of the excellent principles inculcated by our order, that make the reign of peace on earth and good will among men.—Ira A. Chase, G. M., N. H. A man may be what he thinks he is, but it is hard to make other folks believe it. LEADING STORE Invented and Manufactured by a Colored Man.
