Roosevelt Cables Gifford Pinchot to Meet Him in Europe. WANTS NEWS FIRST HAND Ex-President Is a Very Close Friend of the Deposed Chief Forester and Will Probably Take a Hand in Conservation Fight. Washington, D. C. — Washington woke up to the fact that Gifford Pinchot whom President Taft recently deposed from the position of chief forester of the United States, was on the ocean on the way to meet ex-President Theodore Roosevelt, probably at Naples. The widely current rumor here is that Mr. Pinchot goes to meet the returning traveler in compliance with a summons received by cable. Nobody in a position to know would either confirm or deny this part of the story. There is no disposition to deny that Mr. Pinchot's principal errand abroad is to meet Mr. Roosevelt. It is to be taken for granted that the ex-president will receive from the deposed chief forester, with whom he was on peculiarly intimate terms, his first direct information bearing on the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy from any of the principals in that dispute. BATTLESHIPS FOR JUNK PILE War. Department Orders 26 War Vessels Destroyed. Charleston, S. C.—The Texas, which is now stationed at the Charleston navy yard, is one of the twenty-six vessels consigned to the junk pile by orders of the navy department. Having been built twenty-six years ago, the Texas, and all the others, has been declared "antique from every measurement of efficiency and war." All the vessels consigned to the superannuated class are those that were built more than twenty years ago. The twenty-six protected and unprotected cruisers, which are placed under ban cost the United States treasury more than 400,000, and hold down vessels: Battleships, Texas; protected cruisers, Baltimore, Chicago, Minneapolis, Newark, San Francisco, Atlanta, Albany, New Orleans, Boston, Cincinnati, Raleigh, and Tacoma; unprotected cruisers, Detroit, Marblehead and Montgomery; monitors, Amparitrite, Miantonomoh, Menadnock, Monterey, Puritan, Terror, Ozark, Tallahassee, Tonopah and Cheyenne. MINIMUM RATES FOR FRANCE President Signs Proclamation and Averts Tariff War. Washington, D. C.-The president has signed a proclamation giving to the products of France and Algeria imported into the United States the minimum tariff rate of the Payne-Aldrich act. From information obtained at the state department it is learned that the basis of settlement of the tariff negotiations with France, upon which the minimum tariff was extended, is as follows: France will continue her free list to the United States, with such additions as the pending revision may carry into that list. This act included a large volume of American trade in raw materials to France and embraces cotton and copper. SHOES FULL OF GEMS. New York Woman Sent Diamonds to a Cobbler. New York City—Mrs. Anthony Internate, to foll possible bargains, concealed $500 in money and $1,500 worth of jewels in the toe of a shoe in her Brooklyn home, and during her absence an attentive servant sent the shoe to a cobbler's shop to be repaired, the maid having heard the mistress remark that the sole needed repairing. Ouparing what the girl had done, Mrs. Internate and her husband spent most of one night hammering-on the cobbler's door, and when, by permission of the police, they opened it the shoe was found with the valuables untouched. COST OF A CHILD. At the Age of 15 Child Owes World About $2,000. Winsted; Conn—The average child at one year of age represents an investment of about $75, according to Professor E. H. Arnold of the Yale Medical School, who is delivering a series of lectures here. At the age of fifteen, he says, the child owes the world in the neighborhood of $2,000. At eleventh he begins to keep himself, and at thirty or thirty-five he has given back all that he has cort and is square with the world. GERMAN CONSUL CHANGES. Atlanta Consul Relieves German Minister at Havana. Atlanta, Ga.—Dr. Zoepfel-Quellenstein, the Imperial German consul at Atlanta, received a cablegram from his government requesting him to prepare to depart at once for Havana, where he will succeed the imperial German minister. The German consul states that the minister at Havana has been given a six months' leave of absence, and he thinks it probable that upon the latter's return to his post at Havana Dr. Quellenstein will be returned to Atlanta. He will be succeeded here by Dr. Dettendauer, the present German minister at Havana. Cotton Crop Was 10,263,240 Bales According to the U.S. Report. Washington, D. C.—The census bureau cotton report shows the crop to be 10,263,240 bales, counting round as half bales, and including linters, compared with 13,432,131 for 1908. Included in the statistics for 1909 are linters, 314,597 bales; sea island cotton, 94,566 bales; round, 150,690 bales. The gross weight of the bales is 496.5 pounds for 1909, compared with 505.8 for 1908, expressed in equivalent 500-pound bales of 1909 crop is 10,290,385, compared with 13,587,306 for 1908.

Number of bales ginned from the crop of 1909 by states is: Alabama 1,071,985 Arkansas 715,670 Florida 62,711 Georgia 1,897,761 Louisiana 268,800 Mississippi 1,106,170 North Carolina 647,747 Oklahoma 571,370 South Carolin 1,160,167 Tennessee 248,778 Texas 2,549,417 All other states 62,664 HOKE SMITH UPHELD. Georgia Court Holds That Removal of McLendon. Was Legal. Atlanta, Ga.-S. G. McLendon, former member of the railroad commission of Georgia, who was removed from office by former Governor Hoke Smith on June 24, 1909, has lost his fight in the courts for vindication and reinstatement. Holding that the authority of the governor to remove a railroad commissioner from office and that the authority of the general assembly to sustain the removal or to restore him to his position, is unlimited, and that the law under which a commission may be removed in no wise conflicts with a state or the federal constitution, the supreme court of Georgia, in an opinion handed down, reversed at every point the decision of Judge Charlton of the eastern circuit, and sustained the action of the ex-governor in discharging McLendon THAT HAT PIN LAW. Chicago Women Claim That it is a Horrible Outrage. Chicago, III.—The anti-hatpin ordinance, passed by the city council to prohibit the wearing of long hatpins by women in public places, it was signed by Mayor Busse. It will go into effect on April 1. Many women visited the corporation counsel's offices to learn whether, under the ordinance, they might not wear protectors over the points of the hatpin. They were informed that the new law made no exceptions, but that a woman wearing a "snickkergee," the point of which extended more than half an inch beyond the crown of the hat was liable to arrest and a fine of $50. "I think the ordinance is a horrible outrage. The next thing you know they'll prohibit us wearing feathers," was the comment of most women, as they left the office. SPONSER FOR VETERANS. Miss Lucy Davis Hayes Named by General Clement A. Evans. Mobile, Ala.-Commander-in-Coat Clement A. Evans has named Miss Lucy Davis Hayes as sponsor for the annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans, to be held in this city in April. Miss Hayes is the second daughter of the late Mrs. Hayes, daughter of the only president of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis. Work on the "tented city" for which the war department has loaned tents and costs for the use of the veterans, began the construction of the kitchens and dining rooms and grading. The "tented city" faces historic Mobile Bay and will accommodate 15,000 veterans. Many of the local churches are tendering the use of their Sunday school and class rooms for the use of the veterans. GOV. HASKELL EXONERATED. Oklahoma Executive Cleared of the Charge of Misappropriating Funds. Guthrie, Okla.—Governor Charles N. Haskell was exonerated of the charge of misappropriation and mismanagement of state funds in a report filed in the legislature here by the house committee composed of five democrats and two republicans. The committee held in each instance that there had been misappropriation inasmuch as the services for which the governor paid different individuals had actually been performed, and that there could be no misappropriation in the absence of theft. The committee admitted, however, that a number of vouchers had been drawn against funds appropriated for other purposes. $150,000 for Coker College. Hartsville, S. C.—On the occasion of the dedication of the new administration building of Coker College for Women, Major J. L. Coker authorized the announcement that he had donated $150,000 for a permanent employee fund during the college's lifetime. The interest on the fund at 6 per cent is to go to the college. After his death the college is to receive the whole sum. Hall Storm at Tampa. Tampa, Fla.—An unprecedented hall storm for this season fell near here. Fences were broken down and serious damage done to truck in some instances. This is the first hall storm here in many years. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1910. 40 KILLED IN WRECK Appalling Train Disaster Occurs on Rock Island Road in Iowa. TWO SCORE WERE INJURED Suffering Among the Injured Was Terrible. Many Headless Bodies Were Found Among the Wreckage. Marshalltown, Iowa.—Forty-five persons were killed, and forty were injured, many of them fatally, in a wreck four and a half miles north of Green Mountain, Iowa, on a Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific train. The train, which was a consolidation of No. 18, from Chicago, and No. 21, from St. Louis, bound for Napelops, Minn., was being detoured over the tracks of the Chicago Great Western road. Running at about fifty miles an hour in a cut north of Green Mountain the high locomotive struck the rail, it is believed, and jumped the track into an embankment of soft clay. A second locomotive, just behind the first, rolled over and the sudden stop crushed the trailer cars together. A coach, a smoking car and a Pullman car were almost smashed to splinters, almost all of the occupants being killed or injured. The superstructure of the Pullman was shaved off and jammed like a ramrod through the smoking car and the day coach. Many passengers were apparently killed outright, but the suffering among the injured was terrible. Arms and legs were cut off. The wreckage was almost crimson with blood, some of the bodies being crushed beyond recognition by the mass of twisted rails and splintered cars. A few of the passengers were found living with a rod or a splinter impaling them in the wreck. Decapitated bodies were found, and it was almost impossible to assort the dismembered bodies. The wreck occurred at a point which was difficult to reach with prompt relief. Such bodies as could be pulled out were stretched out in an adjacent pasture. The cries of the wounded coming from beneath the cars and from places which were walled in, hurried the efforts of the rescues. The wreck did not take fire. Fatalities occurred only in the first three coaches. The rear coaches all remained on the track. While the last ten cars remained on the track the shock threw the passengers sprawling from their seats. Vole. Two men were killed and another more or less seriously injured in a wreck on the Norfolk and Western Railway at Glen Alum, W. Va., when two freight trains met head-on. NO RAILROAD STRIKE 27,000 Firemen and 47 Railroads Reach an Agreement. Chicago, IL—All questions in dispute between the 27,000 firemen on western railroads and the railroad managers will be amicably settled, according to an arrangement, reached through the aid of United States Commissioner of Labor Neill. It was agreed by W. S. Carter, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and his committee, representing the men, and the general managers' committee, representing the forty-seven railroads involved, to settle the controversy in the following manner: The question of seniority, or the promotion of old-time firemen over new men, and the question of representation by the union of firemen who have been promoted to be enginemen are to be compromised before an arbitration is attempted. The demand of the men for an increase in wages of 12 1-2 per cent is then to be submitted to arbitration under the Erdman act. JUDGE DENOUNCES PEONAGE. Peonage Worse Than Slavery, So Declares U. S. Judge Speer, Augusta, Ga—Judge Speer in the United States court devoted his entire charge to the grand jury to the matter of peonage. He declared that while conditions in this part of the state were not so bad as in others, he felt it his duty to call the attention of all sections toamentable conditions in Georgia. He said there was no doubt that men held in involuntary servitude were really in a worse condition than those held in slavery, for the latter had the countenance of the law to give it a certain standing, while peonage, under whatever guise it is hidden, is totally outside the pale. He said it was the duty of upright citizens to stamp out this disgrace; that no man had any right, legal, or moral, to bind to him another to pay a debt. AGE OF THE EARTH Old Mother, Earth 400,000,000 Years Old, Say Experts. Chicago, ill.-Old mother earth, who has closely guarded her age for her entire life, is 400,000,000 years old, according to an article which appeared in the current number of a geological publication, of the University of Chicago. In more scientific phraseology the approximate age of the earth, it has been discovered, may be determined by dividing the amount of salt in the sea by the amount brought down each year by the rivers that empty into it. Famous geologists stand back of the new method of computing the age of this terrestrial sphere. FAIRBANKS IS HOME. Former Vice President Tells of His Impressions of the Orient. New York City—Charles Warren Fairbanks of Indianapolis, former vice president of the United States, after an absence of nearly a year on a tour around the world, arrived in New York. The former vice president talked freely, Peace with Japan was the burden of his interview and by" a strange coincidence he reaches New York in time to be an honored guest with President Taft at a dinner of the American Peace and Arbitration League. "President Roosevelt's administration," said Mr. Fairbanks, "greatly strengthened the ties of good neighborhood between us and other powers President Taft is understood abroad. Favor of a policy of international peace. "Those who now and then fill the air with unfounded rumors of possible trouble between us and any foreign power do not thereby advance our world-wide interest or contribute to national prestice. "There is not the slightest ground, in my opinion, for the suggestions which now and then obtains currency to the effect that there is danger of war between the United States and Japan, or with any other power." "Japan has a respect and admiration for the United States which is genuine and undisguised. I have this to be the feeling of the emperor, and from the cabinet down to men every life. If there seems to be any conflict of view with respect to Japanese and American rights in Manchuria or elsewhere, it does not follow that that means grave difficulty. "And what I have said with respect to the United States and Japan may be said with equal confidence with regard to the United States and Great Britain," said Mr. Falkbanks. "I do not, of course, believe many well informed persons think a conflict or hitch in negotiations respecting the proposed Chinese loan can lead to grave consequences. If it is thought Great Britain is moving economically badly, it ought to be remembered that an acute political situation exists in that country. Against these conditions it is not at all strange that there should be more or less delay with respect to a particular matter in which our government is concerned. Of sentiments in Germany and France, Mr. Fairbanks said: "Germany and France entertain for the United States nothing but sentiments of good will. Emperor William and President Fallieres, and the responsible ministers of the two governments, lose no suitable opportunity to emphasize this fact. "In the other countries which I have visited the same generous regard for America prevails." Mr. Fairbanks said positively that he would not discuss the incident of the vatican at Rome, withdrawing its invitation for him to meet the pope. He was visibly perturbed when the matter was mentioned. "I have been out of politics a year," he said, "and I do not intend to take any active interest at least for some time to come." DEMOCRATS WIN. Democrats Elect Congressman from Republican Stronghold. Brockton, Mass.—The national political weathercock turned democraticward in Massachusetts, when the Old Colony section, one of the republican strongholds of the state, placed Eugene N. Foss of Boston, one of the country's leading exponents of reck-procity with Canada, in the congressional seat of the late William C. Lovering. Mr. Foss accomplished what was regarded as almost a political miracle, turning a republican plurality of 14,250 into a democratic victory of 5,840. It was the most overwhelming defeat that the republicans have met in Massachusetts since Governor Bates was overthrown by William L. Douglass six years ago. The result is considered of more than statewide importance, for Mr. Foss stumped the fourteenth district on national questions and the people backed him up with a whoop. Newsy Paragraphs. A newspaper man may have a statue erected in his honor at the national capital, a bill having been introduced by Representative Douglas of Ohio appropriating $20,000 for that purpose. The man was Januarius Aloysius MacGahan, whose description of the artocites practiced upon the Bulgarians by the Turks atracted the attention of William Gladstone, resulted in English recognition of Bulgaria's freedom, and won for their author the title of "The Liberator of the Bulgarians." MacGahan was a correspondent for the London Daily News at Constantinople. He died there in 1878, and in 1884 his body was brought to America at the expense of this government The Knickerbocker Trust company, which closed its doors during the panic of 1907, has redeemed the last of its $28,000,000 time certificates of deposits. The capital now stands rehabilitated and every depositor, with claims totalling $55,701,716 will be paid in full. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in New York city has sent a notice to all department stores and to bird and animal dealers that the act of keeping or selling newly hatched incubator cickens intended, as Easter favors, or presents, is in violation of the laws relating to cruelty to animals. The society intends to put a stop to the traffic and will take the necessary steps to prevent it. GANNON LOSES POWER Speaker of House Loses Control of Committee on Rules. WAS RETAINED AS SPEAKER Overthrow of Cannon Came After Session of Dramatic Incidents—Effort to Oust Speaker From Chair Failed. Washington, D. C.—Speaker Joseph G. Cannon, as a political entity and Cannonism as amplified by the speaker, were ground to pieces in a revolution in the house of representatives. By a vote' of 191 to 155 the allied insurgent republicans and the democrats ousted him from the committee on rules, through which he had wielded his greatest power and enlarged that committee from five to ten members. By the same vote, reversed—155 to 191—the house, however, declined to take the speakers' chair away from Mr. Cannon. For the speaker himself, though he died, as he often said he would when his time came, "with his boots on," he had the courage to retort to the vote that discredited and repudiated him with a defiance of those who had crushed him and literally dared them to follow up their victory and throw him out of the speaker's chair. It was a history-making session of the house of representatives that brought about the defeat of Cannon. If he knew was never before behold; now of the fact he knew that he had remembered the occasion or an occasion that approached it in importance. And no session of this generation of legislators approached it either in the intense excitement, the wild disorder, the bitterness of feeling or the intense partisanship that was displayed. What will be the definite, tangible results of the big victory of the allies no one is yet in a position or of a mind to say. Admittedly Cannonism is ended, for one thing. No more will the speaker and his close corporation rules committee be allowed to force through the house what measures they please or withhold those they do not like. Nor again, is it claimed, will debate be prohibited. There will be a new committee on rules. It will be a republican committee and the insurgents themselves say they are not assured they will even have representation upon it. The insurgents have promised to go to war against the mighty small minority. But even if they are not represented and if the new committee is controlled by the Cannon regulars, it will be a committee that will have upon it the fear of the happenings of this day and the high-handed methods are not likely to be repeated. There are those among the regulars who hold that by the work of the strenuous day insurgency in the republican party was destroyed. The speechmaking was not the great thing of the day. Champ Clark outlined the position of the democrats clearly. "I have one personal remark to make," he said, and I do not care whether it is popular or not. It is that this is not a personal fight against Joseph G. Cannon. It is a fight against a bad system] it makes no difference if that system is sanctioned by time. No progress was ever made yet without the overthrow of the deputies. For the speaker hold the chairmanship of the committee on rules gives him more power than any one man ought to have over the destinies of this republic. It is to deprive him of that power that we have worked this revolution in the house. We need not mince words, for it is a revolution." Here is the Norris resolution, which was adopted: "There shall be a committee on rules, elected by the house (hitherto the committee of five, like all other house committees, has been appointed by the speaker), consisting of ten members, six of whom shall be members of the minority party. The speaker shall not be a member of the committee and the committee shall elect its own chairman from its own members. "Resolved, further, That within ten days after the adoption of this resolution there shall be an election of this committee and immediately upon its election, the present committee on rules shall be dissolved." Here is the resolution of Representative Burleson, which was defeated: "Resolved, That the office of speaker of the house of representatives is hereby declared to be vacant, and the house of representatives shall at once proceed to the election of a speaker." Sporing Gwinnett Found guilty. Council Bluffs, Iowa—John C. Mabray and thirteen associates who have been on trial in the United States district court charged with illegal use of the malls in connection with extensive swindles, were found guilty by the jury. With the conviction of these defendants, the government believes it has broken up the most monumental swindling combination that has ever operated. Statistics show the receipts of the combination since its organization, about ten years ago, to have exceeded $5,000,000. Foot racing, wrestling, prize fighting, horse racing and wire tapping were the specialists offered, victims on which to make, "easy money." There were hundreds of victims. STOCK RAISING IN DIXIE President Finley, of the Southern R. Teils of South's Many Advantages for Cattle Raising. South's many advantages in the railway Washington, D. C.-President W. W. Finley of the Southern Railway Company is a great believer in stock raising in the south. Addressing the Mississippi Society in Washington, he gave some interesting fact having the opportunity to pastor farmer of the south to pastor himself materially and help-reduce the present high cost of living by turning his attention to the raising of stock and hogs. Mr. Finley called particular attention to the fact that in many parts of the south cattle can graze practically throughout the year while in the northern and western states the seas season lasts only four or five months. Discussing the advantages offered for stock raising in the south, Mr. Finley said: "No advantage of the south is less generally appreciated than the suitability of many localities for liv- stock raising. In the popular mind this industry is generally associated with the West, and many of the farmers living in the south do not realize their opportunities in this line. In the days when the great cattle ranges of the west and the hog-growing regions of the middle west produced almost unlimited supplies of cheap meat, there was no incentive for the farm in the cotton belt to embark on the hog-growing and silvage scale. But the great western ranges are being cut up into farms, the day of cheap cattle from the range is rapidly passing away, and the consumption of meats of all kinds in the United States is rapidly increasing, with the result that live stock farming and the growing of cattle, hogs and sheep as incidental to diversified farming will become more profitable in the south. "That the consumption of meat in the United States is growing faster than the supply is indicated by a recent report of the department of agriculture, showing that the number of cattle other than milch cows on farms and ranges in the United States was 2,100,000 less on January 1, 1910, than on January 1, 1909, and that, notwithstanding this reduction in number, the aggregate farm value of such cattle had increased $3,639,000 during the year. This same report shows a reduction of 6,265,000 in the number, and an of hogs on farms and ranges during increase of $1,819,000, in the value the year. During the same period there was a substantial decline in the exports of cattle, hogs and meat products, showing that the decline in the number of cattle and hogs and the increase in their farm value, aggregating $135,503,000, were due to increased home consumption. "This is a condition that those of us who live in cities and have to face the problem of meat bills may not relish, but which our farmer friends throughout the south with their opportunities for raising cattle and hogs may contemplate with much satisfaction." LATE NEWS NOTES The uniform of an enlisted man of the United States army, or navy, may never again be used as an excuse to bar the wearers from public places. The house committee on naval affairs reported unanimously the bill introduced by Representative Hobson of Alabama, prohibiting by fine and imprisonment the exclusion of soldiers from hotels, restaurants, theaters, dance halls and other public places. One of the latest explanations of the high cost of living was made by President Hamilton of Tufts college before the Massachusetts Teachers' association. In no other country in the world, he felt it is there the same demand and cry for the luxuries of life in every class of society as characterizes the American society, none where "the laboring class demands so much." He says this class of people want the same comforts and superfutures which characterize the way of life of the very wealthy. In fifty years the foreign trade of the United States has sextupled in values, according to figures contained in the "statistical abstract of foreign countries," a publication recently issued by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor, after years of research work. The battleship Maine is to be hailed from Havana harbor. The house committee on naval affairs ordered a favorable report on the Loud bill, providing for the raising of the Maine and the burial of the bodies still in the wreck in Arlington National cemetery. The United States seems to be losing ground rapidly as an exporting nation, judging by a report issued by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor. This shows that during the eight months ending with February last, the excess of exports over imports was $193,125,415, a decrease of $152,524,136, compared with last year. A private telephone wire from the home of Charles P. Taft in Cincinnati to the white 'house in Washington is being arranged with the American Telephone and Telegraph company. The seven hundred and twenty-five miles of wire will be at the service of Charles P. Taft from 6 p. m. to 8 a. m. No outside hands will manipulate the switchboard plugs and no outside car will hear the personal conversation of the brother. This wire, it is said, will cost Mr. Taft $24,000 a year. By an equally divided court, the supreme court of the United States, affirmed the decision of the federal court of California, which held the grazing of sheep, without permission on forest reserves was not a violation of the law. --- MORE SO The undersigned to have received份 Dear Regent, Elevation, 17th, 18th, 19th long as atal Fence of Georgia by an assembly, approved 20th, 1899.

R. E. Parsi Parties Are Now Working in Two Georgia Counties. GREAT HELP TO FARMERS Proper Methods of Preparing Soils Found in Different Sections of the State to be Laid Before the Farmers. Washington, D. C. - Soil survey work in the state of Georgia is being continued by parties working in Bullock and Sumter counties, Georgia. The work in these two counties is undertaken in compliance with requests which have been made from prominent officials of the state of Georgia that soil surveys of each one of the Georgia counties in which one of the district agricultural high schools is located should be made at an early date. Soil surveys have already been completed and published for Cobb and Tift counties and surveys of Pike and Hancock counties have been completed and the reports will be ready for distribution at an early date. A soil survey of Franklin county, Georgia, was completed during the summer of 1909, and is now in the hands of the printer. It will probably be issued within a few months' time. It is the intention of the Bureau of Soils of the United States Department of Agriculture to continue the soil survey work until a detailed soil survey has been made of every county in which an agricultural high school is located. In this way the lessons learned in regard to the proper methods of preparing the handling of each of the important soil types found in the vicinity can be carried home to the farmers within the county. As soon as the agricultural high school counties are completed additional counties will be taken up and within the next few years the experimental work conducted at the high schools will become applicable over a large portion of the state of Georgia through the determination by the soil surveys of the different types of soil which constitute the agricultural land of the various sections investigated. FREE HEALTH AIDS. State Board of Health Will Furnish Antitoxin and Serums. Atlanta, Ga—The state board of health is now in position to aid the poor people of Georgia a great deal by furnishing antitoxin, serums and microscopic examinations. Up to the present time there has been but little advantage taken of the free aid of the state. While the treatment is for the poor and rich alike it was primarily intended to help the poor. The treatments are furnished through the ordinaries and physicians of the various counties upon request free examinations of all real or suspected cases of diseases produced by any form of bacteria or animal parasites. Treasurer of the State of Georgia. The announcement is also made that the laboratory sends free each day Pasteur vaccine for the treatment of hydrophobia. This is a great aid to the poor people and is a sure cure for the dreaded disease. Antitoxin for the treatment of dyphtheria is also furnished in any quantity desired. FIGHTING BLACK ROOT. Entomologist Worsham Planting Cotton Seed of Resistant Variety. Atlanta, Ga.—State Entomologist E. L. Worsham has perfected plans for the growing of between 2,500 and 3,000 bushels of the resistant variety of cotton seed which tests have proven is not subject to the ravages or the black, root, which costs the cotton growers of Georgia thousands of dollars each year. These will be located in the counties of Dooly, Schley and Sumter. Experiments made in growing this resistant variety in those counties last year have proven great successes. Entomologist Worsham secured I, 200 bushels of this resistant variety for distribution this spring, and be sending to each applicant a half bushel of this valuable seed, has spread the resistant variety on 2,500 farms throughout Georgia. Million Dollar Trolley Line. Atlanta, Ga. — The Atlanta and Northeastern Railroad Company will, in the near future, begin actual construction work on its trolley lines from Atlanta to Cumming and the Creighton mines. There will be one line from Atlanta to Alpharetta, where two lines will diverge to Cumming and Creighton. To Cumming the trackage will be 42 miles and to Creighton 18 miles. Leaving Atlanta the railroad will follow the course of the Peachtree road to Roswell, from where it will go to Alpharetta. The road will cost something like a million dollars. Greater Macon Wins. Macon, Ga.—Annexation has carried one more time in Macon. This time there was one of the liveliest contests in the history of the territory "over the river." Every citizen and property owner in the community took part in the liveliest manner and each side went in to win. By a majority of 12 votes the movement carried and about three thousand people in a pretty little suburb were brought in. This brings in all territory worth the while. Tuberculosis Sunday. Atlanta, Ga—Sunday, April 24, will probably be set aside in Georgia and all over the United States as anti-tuberculosis Sunday, at which time practically every preacher. In the country will deliver a sermon on the dangers of tuberculosis. The request of the national society about a proclamation declaring Sunday, April 24, Anti-Tuberculosis Sunday, has been taken up by Governor Brown with members of the local society and he will decide within the next few days whether it is, within his province to issue such a proclamation. Macon's Large Corn Club. Macon, Ga.—Fully twelve hundred school children and interested men and women attended a meeting where Thomas A. Early took up the preliminary work for the establishment of a corn growing contest among the school children. Fully five hundred will be in the ranks of the corn club before the season's crop is fully started. Much enthusiasm was shown, and pledges were made to enter upon the work to improve the conditions of corn culture. The school children of Bibb will be entered with a determination to win a large showing. AGRICULTURAL BULLETIN. Washington, D. C.—A remedy for the "peach brown rot," which is recognized as a most destructive enemy of stone fruits, is being advocated by the department of agriculture, and a bulletin describing remedy and method of preparation has just been issued. The peach brow rot is a fungous disease, and it is widespread, and very destructive to the peach crop. The loss which it inflicts on peach growers will easily average $5,000,000 yearly. The loss to the peach crop of Georgia alone is estimated at several hundred thousand dollars a year. Much work has been done with a view to discovering a satisfactory remedy for this trouble. Spraying with diluted Bordenaux mixture has been most commonly recommended but its injury to the foliage has made it unsatisfactory, since the remedy must be applied during the growing season. The peach scab (often called "black spot") is another disease which seriously effects the peach crop in all sections east of the Rocky Mountains, although not causing such serious losses as brown rot. As the result of experimental work by the United States department of agriculture a cheap and simple remedy for this disease has been found in the self-boiled lime-sulphur wash This can be applied during the growing season with very little danger in injuring the fruit or foliage, and it is very effective. Furthermore, by mixing arsenate of lead with the fungicide, the curcullic can be destroyed at the same time. Georgia News in Paragraghs. John D.

This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has complied with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business.

'We have recently selzed about 15 car loads of damaged corn," said H. Hudson, "and there will be more of it confiscated unless greater care is used. We cannot allow the sale of damaged corn in the state, for it a menace to the health and life of people and live stock, and every farmer and every merchant who buys corn shipped into the state should make careful observation to see that it is not damaged. The mayor and city council have ordered a general spring cleaning for Eatonton. An especial war is an nounced on mosquitoes and files and Eatonton expects to begin the summer months with a clean bill of health, as there are each year quite a large number of summer visitors and boarders in the city. The ladies as usual are among the leaders and heartiest workers in the movement. The farmers of Houston county held a meeting at Perry to formulate plans to govern a contest for premium acres of corn in the county this season. They will offer three prizes for first, second and third largest yields of corn from the acre. The premium fund amounts to $400, 50 per cent to be offered for first prize, 3 per cent for the second prize and 20 per cent for the third prize. Conservative, well-posted public men estimate that the census returns for 1910 will give Macon a population of not less than sixty thousand. Within the last two weeks more than twenty thousand people have been brought within the city limits by an exeation, and about five thousand more will be added if the East con election is carried. In 1900 the population of Macon was given a twenty-three thousand. It is certain that the 1910 figures will show that the city has more than doubled in size in ten years. A state commission of roads and highways! A proposition completely to reorganize the present county plan of working the state's prisoners on the roads has been suggested by a state official. With Georgia's five thousand convicts, large camps should be created for every group of three counties in the state thoroughly to work all the roads leading from the county seats. These camps could be maintained at far less cost than small camps are now costing the counties, it is pointed out. The roads and highways commission could out a system and plans for working the thoroughfares in an intelligent and systematic way. Work would be going on all over the state at the same time and in every county alike and all working toward the same end-building good roads on the main highways.

"The suspicions of some people in this matter," said a Danish traveller at a dinner in New York, "seem to be almost as excessive and groundless as the nervousness of a Copenhagen man's wife. "My wife," this man said to me, "is very nervous, especially at night. She used to have a terrible nervous attack every time she heard a noise down-stairs, thinking it was burglar; but I assured her that it couldn't be burglar, because they are always careful necer to make any noise." "That silence heh, eh?" "Not at all. Now she gets nervous whenever she doesn't hear any noise." Poet's View of Matrimony. Edward Fitzgerald, the translator of the Persian poet, Omar Khayyam, was a more or less genial opponent of matrimony as a state. One day he said to his friend, Miss Ellen Churchard, of Woodbridge: "Do you know, Nell, what marriage is?" Miss Churchard thought not. "Then I'll tell you," said he, "Marriage is standing at one's desk; nicely settled to work, when a great big bonnet pushes in at the door and asks you to go for a walk with it." BY LETTIE S. BIGELOW. Of the hard and weary loads Neath which we bend and fall. The troubles that do not come Are the heaviest ques of all. For grief that cuts like a knife There's oil of comfort and cure, And the Hand which binds the weight Brings strength and grace to endure.

"The perversity of fate," he thought as he gravely offered his arm to her and followed the other guests to the dining room. He felt a shade of resentment against Mrs. Willoughby for making such an unfortunate pairing for the table, but his sense of justice told him that Mrs. Willoughby, his hostess, could not possibly have known that only in the previous week had occurred the misunderstanding that ended the quiet engagement between him and the girl whose hand now rested lightly on his arm. It was embarrassing to her, he knew, but how well she bore herself under circumstances painful to both. She had accepted the situation with so much case that he found himself admiring her for it. He almost wished—but no! He was quite right in the affair and matters had gone too far to allow him to recede. Besides, she had never really loved him. The quarrel was foolish and his suggestion that their engagement be ended was not meant to be taken seriously. Her quiet acceptance of his view simply meant that her affection had never been deep. As he seated her and heard her faintly audible "Thank you," the old familiar perfume was watted to him and he recalled the many times he had told her it was more intoxicating to him than wine. How pretty she was! He would admit that. Of course, her beauty was for some other man, he told himself with resignation, and it would be wasted upon some dull fellow who could not appreciate her. No man but himself could understand the dear, delightful little subtleties of her nature or the various lights and shades of her character. He caught himself stealing a furtive look at her. After all, she was the prettiest girl he know. The soft color came and went in her cheek, her eyes had in them a mingled look of tenderness and sadness, and as his glance wandered from the curl that clung wilfully to her neck to her white shoulders, her beautifully rounded arms and slender white hands, he regretted that all his wonderful "castles in Spain" had crumbled, that all the plans for the future, the discussion of which had filled so many happy hours for them, had come to naught. Oh, well! It was too late now. And why had she worn her pink gown, the very one he had told her was so becoming? Was it to tantaize him with what was his no longer? The girl sat restlessly during the early courses, answering in a preoccupied manner the occasional remarks of her other neighbor. She wondered whether her hand had trembled upon the man's arm or whether she had given any outward sign of her perturbation. His quiet dignity, the grace with which he had carried the situation brought to her recollection all those qualities she most admired in men, and the possession of which had made, him seem to her the man of all men. He had turned to answer a question addressed to him and it gave her an opportunity of looking in his direction. His clean-cut profile and strong chin indicated determination and firmness, and she liked these attributes. An involuntary sigh escaped her, and whether or not the man heard it, he turned quickly, his eyes meeting hers before she could look away. "You were at the Carltons' dance last week?" she said in a tone of polite inquiry. "Yes," he answered, "there was no escape. No man may be a hermit if he has a resolute sister, so I changed the role of recluse to that of martyr." "Edith Blake told me she had seen you there," she replied, "but she said nothing of your martyrdom." "Miss Blake was good enough to sit out two dances with me," he said. "She told me of all your good qualifies, adding to those I knew one or two I had not fully realized. I am indebted to her to that extent, at least." He realized instantly his mistake, for the girl's color rose. "You were a martyr after all," she answered quickly. "Edith must have become imaginative lately to make a description of my few good qualities last through two whole dances." "She seemed to believe I had a special interest in them," he continued. "Perhaps it was heroic treatment. You know, salt on a wound used to be a favorite method of stopping the bleeding." "Edith was thoughtless," the girl said. "You have my sympathy." "Well," he said, reflectively, "I could not explain the situation, so I listened. Besides, I must confess having been interested. There were days in the past, you know, the memory of which cannot be taken from me, if I am robbed of all else." "By the way," she volunteered, with a show of interest, "I met Rutledge Morton yesterday." "Rut is a fine fellow; one of the best," he went on. "I should like you to grow fond of him." "He persists in making you the sole topic of conversation," said the girl. "Rut; like all men, has his uninteresting moments," he repiled, with a trace of bitterness in his tone. "It is odd," the girl remarked, as she toyed with her fork, "that our mania acquaintances seem to have a mania for talking of us." "Reversing Scripture," he said, smiling at her. "It's a case of 'For deliver us from our friend.'" "It is a monomanta with them she answered. There was a wistfulness in her voice that did not escap him. The spell of the girl's beauty seemed to overpower him. He leanced forward and whispered as he touched her hand beneath the table. "Couldn't we return to our own old monomania, dear? I am sorry; it was all my fault!" "No," she answered, as she slipped her hand into his, "it was mine, I was too hasty. Forive me!" "Hero to Rutledge Morton," he said, as he held up his glass. "And here's to Edith Blake," he said, as he held up his glass. "And here's to Edith Blake," she laughed gaily, as she raised her own. —Boston Post. GETTING AROUND POLL TAX. Mark Twain's Cousin Circumvents Ill-Advised Statute. In the years gone by Topela regularly had turbulent times over the payment of a $3 poll tax annually by every man of voting age. For a long time the matter was the subject of a great deal of controversy. G. C. Clemens, the well known Topela lawyer and a cousin of Mark Twain, really put the law out of business. He made it look foolish one year, and the next year he knocked it out through the courts. The law held that when a man failed to put up his $3 he had to appear on the streets and work two days at $1.50 a day. Clemens did not pay his tax and received a notice that it was due, and that he would have to work on the streets to make up for his negligence. "Bring with you a pick and shovel," read the notice. "Clem" appeared on the appointed day and reported ready for work. "Where is your pick and shovel?" demanded the street commissioner. "Here they are," he replied, and diving down into his vest pocket he produced a pick and shovel, the kind that are about two inches long, and that you buy at a toy store for children. "What are you giving me?" snorted the commissioner. "You can't do anything with those tools." "The notice didn't say a word," replied Clemens, "about the size of the tools which I was to bring. So I brought what I wanted to. Come on, now assign me to work. I want to get to work, and don't care to lose any time." The street commissioner walked away in disgust. Clemens waited for about an hour, and still no assignment. So he went to his office and put in the day at work on his law cases. The next morning he turned up for work again. The street commissioner again didn't give him an assignment, so he went back to his office, and declared he had fulfilled the letter of the law. He said it was not his fault that he had not been directed to work. The next year he sent the law sky high through the courts.—Kansas City Journal. Through His Nose. Clear speaking bears a close relation to clear thinking, too, and there is a moral effect in vocal utterance which influences the hearer probably more than most of us are aware: When the late Tom Reed was the —well, let us say the Speaker of the Fifty-first Congress, he once got into a controversy on the floor of the House with Judge McMahon, of Dayton, O. Reed lost his temper, thereby breaking one important law of good form in speech to start with, and shouted in his usual nasal tone: "The trouble with you is that you don't want to hear the TE-RUTH!" "Well," retorted the Judge, witheringly, "I don't want to hear the TE-RUTH through your nose."—New York World. Lost His Slight. Professor E. D. Campbell, director of the chemical laboratories in the University of Michigan, lost his sight eighteen years ago through an accident.

"Thin people very seldom have doubles," says a photographer. "In my business I meet many pairs of people who look alike. In every case the most extraordinary resemblances are between persons who are stout." [Portrait of a man in formal attire with a bow tie and a high-collared shirt. The background is plain white. The portrait is framed with a black border.]] Sandpaper Plate. Another invention of interest to carpenters, joiners and men of kindred trades is the sandpaper plane designed by a Louisiana man. This 1 implement, as shown in the illustration, closely resembles an orthodon plane, but instead of having a blade underneath it has a smooth base covered with a layer of sandpaper, which polishes off rough surfaces with great rapidity and absolute uniformity. It also has the advantage of doing the work without polishing the skin off the knuckles of the person using it. The two knobs seen in the cut unscrew and the baseboard, which fits in grooves in the body of the plane and slides backward and forward when released, can be taken out and covered with a fresh piece of sandpaper when the old piece is worn down. Thus recovered the base is put back, the knobs screwed up tight again to hold it firmly, and the carpenter scrapes away with ease and rapidity. —Boston Post Didn't Divide Eternity. On one occasion when in Congress General Benjamin Butler arose in his place and intimated that the member who occupied the floor was transgressing the limits of debate.

Armed like the porcupine, but invisibly, their arms and shoulders studded with sharp metal spikes beneath their coats, the young brigands of Paris, known as Apaches, have recently defied the police and frightened the public, which used to regard their pranks with some indulgence. The other day two detectives went into a wine shop to arrest an Apache named 10.000 Llabaeout. As soon as they had selzed him their hands were frightfully torn by the hidden spikes on the miscreant's arms and they were forced to let go. The Apache then stabbed one of the detectives eight times and shot the other dead.

Hammer Holds Nalls. Who has not pounded his thumb in place of a nail while trying to hammer the latter into some place difficult to reach or some corner where it was hard to get both hand and hammer? A North Dakota man has gotten around this difficulty with an ingenious invention of an attachment for the heads of hammers which holds the nail just beneath the head and drives it into place without difficulty. The attachment consists of a loop of metal and a slight groove and recess under the hammer head. The nail fits in this, and all that need be done is to give one blow as if the nail were held in position with the fingers. This blow will suffice to fix the nail in place, and the hammer can then be withdrawn, the loop in the head being large enough to permit of the passage 1 of the head of the nail, and the nail can be pounded all the way in with no trouble at all. In this way the thumb and fingers of the carpenter are in no danger.—Boston Post. Among the peoples of the earth, except those of Australasia, the Americans are the most liberal meat eaters. Stolen. Cases of Justice Administered by Mob in Great Britain. The British are the most law-abiding nation in the world. It's only Denmark and perhaps Norway and Iceland that can hold a candle to us in this respect. It is so unusual for Englishmen or Scotsmen to take the law into their own hands that the recent case in which "Dr." Walford Bodle was mercilessly "rugged," after a jury had adjudicated him a "quack," caused a great sensation. - Lynch law is not unknown in this country and there have been many cases of summary justice being meted out without the formality of trial. The most famous on record was that known as the Porteous Riot. On April 15, 1736, Capt. Porteous commanded the military guard at the execution at Edinburgh of the famous smuggler Wilson. Wilson was very popular, for he had given up his own liberty to save a comrade. The infuriated spectators pelted the guard with stones, and Porteous, fearing a rescue ordered his men to fire. Seventeen persons were killed o' wounded and Captain Porteous was arrested and stormed in jail. A huge mob collected, stormed the prison, broke down the doors, hauled the unfortunate officer out into the Grassmarket and hanged him on a dyer's sign post. There was a lynching episode in Darlington about nine years ago. The trouble started with some children being made ill by ice cream sold by Italian street vendors. Later a crowd mobbed the Italian hawkers. One barrow was smashed to pieces, upon two of the Italians drew their knives. They were seized, disarmed, and carried away to the river, into which they were flung. It was only through the exertions of the police that they were not both drowned. A French giant was being exhibited on the sands at Weymouth when two little children offended him by laughing. He ran at them and struck the boy and kicked the girl. Instantly the crowd made a rush at his tent and pulled it about his ears. The giant ran for his life, the crowd at his heels. There was a cab on the parade. The giant flung himself into it and shrieked to the driver to drive off. But the mob kept up the chase. Stones smashed through the windows of the cab, and had it not been for the police the giant and his agent both would have probably been killed. At Thrapston fifty women were obliged to waste their whole day at the suit of an assignee against a local draper. As hours passed and they thought of their uncooked dinners and uncared for children they got more and more angry. When the case was at last over they gathered and surrounded the draper and fell upon him furiously. Capless and coatless he escaped, but they chased him. Only the very hardest running saved their quarry. Fairs are greatly disliked by the police on account of the rows that often ensue. The most serious affray in recent years was at a village near Wrexham in November of last year. A family of gypsies offered a pig an a prize for climbing a greasy pole. After the contest the pig was not forthcoming. The crowd grew angry and threatened the gypsies. The latter, of whom there were four, snatched up rifles from their shooting gallery and opened fire. Nearly a score of persons were struck by bullets. Then the fat was in the fire with a vengeance. "Kill them!" roared the crowd, and there was a terrific rush. The gypsies had barricaded themselves in a van, whereupon the crowd broke up all their galleries and shows, piled the pieces round and proceeded to set them on fire.—Answers. Vanished Mountains. It has been observed that in the neighborhood of great ranges of mountains the force of gravity is slighter than elsewhere, and the explanation is that, the earth's crust is less dense beneath the places where it has been heaved up. Assuming this to be a general law, one authority points out that it is possible to discover where ancient mountains, now worn away and leveled by the action of the elements, once existed, because the density of the underlying rocks has not changed. France, it is thought, possessed one of these vanished ranges, running along the parallel of Bordeaux, for on that line there is a lessening of the force of gravity. A similar phenomenon occurs on the plans of southern Russia.—Harper's Weekly. Occupation For Women. It would seem that the School Board at Bloomfield, N. J., has invented a new occupation for women. The pupils of the public schools are furnished with free text books. Each summer two women go through the eight school buildings of Bloomfield and put every book in order. At the end of the school term the books are sorted by the teachers, grade by grade, and all needing repair are left in great piles on the office floor. The two repairers take their paste pot, awl and needle and make them all as good as new before the summer is over. Pitching a Curve.

TIMELY RECIPE Have the tripe boiled until tender, then cool. Cut in pieces about three inches square, then lay for half-an hour in a mixture of one tablespoonful of melted butter, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, a saltspoonful of salt and a little pepper.

PULLED BREAD. To make the pull bread get a fresh French or other crusty loaf. Peel off the outside crust, then with a fork tear the inside into halves. Divide these again into quarters and the quarters into eighths. Lay them on a baking pan lined with soft brown paper and set in a cool oven-leaving the door open until the crumbs of the bread are thoroughly dried. Then close the oven door just long enough to allow the bread to take on a golden brown, and it will be ready to serve. This can be kept on hand in a clean paper bag, and a little reheated each time when one is ready to serve the tea.—New York Telegram. BURNT CHOCOLATE ALMONDS. Spread one pound of almonds on a cloth and, rubbing lightly, pick out any that are broken. Put into a shallow saucepan one pound of sugar, one-half pint of water and two sticks of vanilla. Boil to the "balling" point, pour almonds in and stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar is boiled to the crack and the almonds begin to crack. Take the pan from the fire and stir the almonds until all the sugar is set, then throw into a very coarse wire sleeve and sift off the loose sugar. Return the almonds to the pan and stir over the fire until the sugar adhering begins to melt, then throw back into the sleeve and cover to keep the almonds warm. Put all the sugar sifted from the almonds into a bowl, add a half pound of loaf sugar and one gill of water, boil the sugar to the crack, add almonds and stir over the fire until all the sugar adheres to them, and keep 'them warm, so that they may glaze the more easily. To glaze the sugared almonds clean the saucepan and put in one ounce of gum arabic and one-half ounce of sugar dissolved in a half gill of water. Put over the fire and when the water boils add the sugared almonds, and toss until glazed all over. Dry in warming closet — New York Telegram. Gruyere cheese and nuts seasoned with salt and paprika make tasty sandwiches for little meals. Sandwiches spread with quince jelly and sprinkled with nuts may be served at an afternoon coffee. A strip of emery tacked to a small square board is almost indispensable in the kitchen, for one can quickly sharpen a knife on it. Croutons for soup are most easily made by cutting stale bread about half an inch thick, buttering it thickly on both sides, cutting in half-inch squares, and baking in the oven until brown. For some kinds of frying the griddle is better and has less tendency to grease than the frying pan. Among other things potato cakes browned on a hot greased griddle are specially crisp and delicious. To prevent large buttons from pulling material off a coat, place a small flat button exactly underneath on the inside and firmly sew the two together; the button will then stay on as long as coat is worn. The children will like sandwiches which are spread with fig paste and sprinkled with ground peanuts. The figs are bolled until they can be mashed into a paste and sard then seasoned lightly with lemon juice. Miniature rose trees, in square white French porcelain jars were the favors, at a recent dinner given for a debutante.

His rantings about the race show littleness. He should be a statesman and not a demagogue. That's the calibre of a man this district needs in Congress. LAST week two colored men were lynched at Marion, Ark., accused of abetting a jail delivery. At the coroner's hearing the verdict was that they "came to their death by suicide." The jurors who rendered this verdict and the people of Marion who approve it may look upon it as a joke, but surely retribution is bound to come and it will be felt in a no uncertain way. Some time ago a man was sentenced to twenty years in the penitentiary for an alleged assault on a white girl. Recently the girl has confessed that she swore falsely against the man. Steps are now being taken to have the man released. This proves that many innocent colored men have been accused and lynched for this awful crime. AN appeal having been taken in the Knights of Pythias case, will act as a stay of procedure and permit every colored Knight to act as heretofore in wearing their badges, pins, regalias, having their meetings, etc. This can be done until the case is settled by the Supreme Court of the United States, which settlement points in favor of the Knights. "To no other people in any state should this crime be more abhorrent than to the people of our own state. It was founded by the noble Oglethorpe as a home for helpless debtors. The ancestors of some of the proudest families whose names have illustrated Georgia and who came over with the noble and benevolent patriot and philanthropist, were doubtless quite as unable to pay their debts as the poorest and most helpless Negro in the land. "Surely an appeal made to the God-fearing and law-abiding people of Georgia, whose proud motto is Wisdom, Justice and Moderation," will not be heard in vain." The above were among the utterances of Judge Speer in his charge to the Grand Jury of his court in Augusta this week, on the question of peonage in this state. It is well for some appeal to be made to the better conscience of those white persons who have done so much in taking advantage of a docile race. The question of separating the races in the Union Station has been agitated. The station company is arranging to renovate the building and placing the ticket office in the center of the rotunda and running a rail in order to keep the races separate. Some radical ones think that this will not do, but want the colored people kept out of the rotunda. If this class of prejudiced citizens would cast aside their race antipathy and work strenuously for the upbuilding of Savannah they and the community would be better off. REPUBLICANS all over the State are dissatisfied about the manner in which they are being treated in the matter of appointments and management of the party. At the proper time an accounting will be demanded. THE TRIBUNE and all loyal Republicans welcome recruits in the ranks of the party, but do not feel that they should be given precedent over the old liners. Again the colored Republicans have been treated shabbily, and they will have much to say at the proper time. We anxiously await the reckoning time. COLORED MASONIC HOME AT AMERICUS DAMAGED. Lightening Strikes the Building Which is Incurred Americus, Ga., March 22. The three story briek building of the Georgia Colored Masonic Orphanage here was damaged this morning by a stroke of lightening which seemingly spread over the roof tearing great holes and splitting the main tower from pinnacle to basement. The destruction wrought covered the entire building, smashing hundreds of window glasses and ripping off yards of ceiling. Twelve hundred dollars is the estimated damage done. The building caught fire, but the flames were extinguished. Seventy orphans escaped injury. The loss was entirely covered by insurance. Mr. W. F. Baller Sues Prof. R. F. Wright. "A law suit of much importance is no pending in the courts in connection with the fair association of which Professor R. R. Wright is president. There has been much complaint for sometime about this fair association, many claiming it was a family affair but somehow no meetings have been held and no dividends declared. Mr. Bailey seeks redress through the court to have Prof. Wright come to taw." The above article was clipped from the Broadax, and shows that the citizens of Macon mead business. There has been considerable complaints, beginning with the first fair about its management. The editor of THE TUNNUE has received constant inquiries from anxious stockholders who are not satisfied about the management of the association and from Citizens who favored the movement, but who look askance at its officers. We have been repeatedly asked about the funds of the concern, where it is deposited, how much interest it draws, and above all who is the treasurer of the association? We are unable to answer any of these questions. If the suit is based along the above lines and a proper showing be demanded, we feel that there will be some interesting development. Notwithstanding this we are moving for a National Exposition. The First of a Series of Articles Relative to Beach Institute. A school is most truly, an asset of the community in which it is located. From it influences radiato which effect the community from its center to its uttermost points, and the effect is generally good. For a school is not only an inductor of the cardinal principles of intelligent citizenship, but is, also, the means through which that citizenship reaches the nearer, its most profitable end. That community, therefore, is thrice blessed that can boast of the possession of a good school, one that trains the mind, the heart and the hand. Prof. Weld of Beach Institute, in realization of the foregoing facts, has instituted an industrial feature in this great old school, that will, beyond cavil, electrify its already, brilliant career. It is natural, I guess, that the cooking room should appeal especially to our notice, for it was about noon when we visited it, and, although "House is nothing like that" in the manner of preparation, the odor that exuded from the articles of food then being prepared was common to us. Over this department as tutor, the pleasant and adaptible, Miss Hazel Hodges presided with grace and dignity and with a demonstrative air that bespoke a thorough understanding of the principles she was teaching. If ideas were tangible and subjective it might be surmised that those ideas of hers were aromatic, basing calculations upon the delicious odor that pervaded the cooking room. Now, the cooking room was a piece of perfection. There in it and artistically arranged were 15 gas plates equipped with double burners. For each of these there is an oven of sample size and adaptability for the preparation of all kinds of food. To one side of the kitchen is a large gas store at which we found the instructor in the act of departing information to a class of nine girls of the 2nd division of the 9th grade of the Institution. It was here that we got a taste of the articles prepared, and, verily, they would have pleased the taste of the most delicate epicurean. The room is equipped with hot and cold water fixtures, cupboards and shelves, and a plenty light and fresh air. All of the utensils, ovens, plates, shelves, floor, ceiling and stoves are variable casis of cleniness. Not a despilling particle is visible there about. The girls were pictures of tidiness and an interesting and jolly set. This class occupies this room every Friday and if some objection be not filed by Prof. Weld or Miss Hodges, somebody will become a frequent visitor of this room in the future. This class is composed of mins bright and laughing girls, full of life and vim and vigor. They are of the age of impression and fortunate indeed are their parents that such benign influences are being thrown around them—that the head, heart and hand are being trained along wholesome lines at school as well at home. I take great pleasure in introducing these girls to the public because it is in such products of development that the public is interested. Then shake hands with and take a passing glimpse at Misses Ruth Petty, Earnestine Davis, Daisy Stephens, Rosa Collins, Ethel Edwards, Mildred Jones and Ruth King. These girls under the splendid management of Pint Weld and the excellent tutelage of Miss Hazel Hodges, promise to the community in which they live and to the race to which they belong, just so many useful and adaptable women. Though I am a citizen of Savannah, interested in every phase of its development and an aunt of its economic school, and yet I must acknowledge that the things about which I write, I knew nothing. It would be both pleasant and profitable to many of our citizens if they would visit the school and note the real progress it is making, the saneness of the principles taught and the interest manifested in the work by both teachers and students. F B B Church. The church was packed on Sunday night. The distinguished guest of the church was "The Friendly Browthers" and "The Friendly Sisters" Rev Wright read for the lesson, Psalms 104:12, 24. He welcomed the clubs telling them how much he appreciated their coming and how large their number had grown since he met them. Rev Wright's text from Psalms 104:35, the subject was "Clouds" The sermon was filled with noble thoughts. After describing the formation of clouds and giving their astronomical names, he drew a beautiful picture of the Saviour riding, upon the clouds in his charitot. He said God had arranged this beautiful art gallery above our heads to make us look up and praise His holy name. The animals are made to look down and gather their food from the ground. The sermon was evidently enjoyed by all the choir sang. "Far Away" The history of the clubs was read. Rev Wright led the hymn "Amazing grace" He asked those who felt the need of prayer to come forward. So large was the number that bowed that every space was filled. Prayer was offered in their beahalf. After the regular collection, a collection of $6.50 was taken for a sick brother, Brother Joseph Washington led the lymph, "Just as I am without one plea". He introduced those who made presentations to the church, church choir and sexton. They donated liberally. You are cordially invited to attend our revival Sunday will be our communi- St Philip Dots. "The importance of being in church" was the theme of Rev John A Cuppa, local deacon of St Phillips. At 11 o'clock on Sunday after the choir and congregaion that beautiful an inspiring bwmn "Amazing Grace" Rev Cuppa's text, was Roman 8:5. He impressed his hearers with the importance of accepting Christ while the opportunity presents itself. At 8 p.m Rev R H Singleton, pastor pastored his text Heb 12:26 subject, "Sale of Birthright". After hearing this important subject a great many men and women asked for prayer. Two persons attached themselves to the church. The revival that has been is progress for the past two weeks was continued this week with much success. Subserve to St Phillips building fund right now.

Class No 4 has held the banner for the last four years. Look out class No 4 for your laurels No. 1 and a are right behind you. F A B Church. Sunday last marked a day at the First African Baptist church that the door were continuously opened. Beginning with the early morning prayer meeting a good attendance greeted the service and throughout the day. At the 11 o'clock a m service, Rev L A Townsley pastor of St Philip McLain A M E church, presched a roaming sermon from Isaiah 38: 1, and 2nd Kings 20: 1, subject "The orderly and disorderly house." The able manner in which the Reverend described the orderly house and the disorderly house, and classified the inmates of both was easily perceived. At least entire Savannah would have been bene fitted by this great sermon that the world needs. The Independent Order of Good Samaritans and Daughters of Samaria held their Thanksgiving celebration at 8 o'clock in the afternoon Rev H L Haywood was the able master of ceremonies. Rev E Jones, director of devotion, led in a very servant prayer. Ms L W Beasley read a paper on the history of the Order which was timely and instructive. Mrs Willie Braun read a paper giving some important statistics of the lodges throughout the jurisdiction of Georgia, paying a comment to Worthy Chief, L W Beasley, for the manner in which the endowment bureau is operated. The little Misses Gertrude Orner and Hannaletta Williams of the Juveniles recited very beautifully their pieces. In another glowing term the master of ceremonies introduced the Right Worthy Grand Chief who first led the hymn "And must I to the Judgment be brought, etc" then proceeded in his own way to impart to the public the charter rights of the Order, that seemingly are questioned, producing certified papers, etc, to substantiate his argument. His instructive talk enlightened many within and with- out the order, as to its standing and a chartered rights. After the rendering of a beautiful anthem by the church's choir, the pastor, Rev W L Lewis, was introduced. He easily addressed the order from Psalm 68—11. In his discourse, he brought out very clearly, biblical facts upon which the principles of the order was founded injecting his experienced visit to the place spoken of in the bible, where the first Good Samaritan was known. The Order was quite liberal in its donation to pastor, church, shoir and sexton who returned many thanks and welcomed them again. Messrs B J Hubert, B V Sneed and W D Armstrong made the presentations in befitting words. The R W G. Chief, at the conclusion of the ceremonies, distributed many dollars among the various lodges for charitable purposes to disabled members. At the 8:30 o'clock service Rev W L Pickard, pastor of the First Baptist church, (white) preshred a glorious sermon from St MtT '25:31—46. Quite a number of captains have made their returns in the rally and a number have yet to make theirs. They will be given until the first Sunday in April to make their returns. The result of the rally which will not terminate until the first Sunday are gratifying. The series of meetings during the week were spirted and fruitful. A number of candidates will be baptized on the first Sunday in April after the 11 o'clock service. The pastor gave out many of his cards on "Renewing spiritual life" and bearing his photo, to the members. The deacons made reports of their wards at the conference Monday night, reporting several slick members. St. Benedict's Church. East Broad and Gaston streets. Easter Sunday.

On Wednesday night the Question Box was answered; some of the questions were most interesting and instructive. On Thursday and Friday evenings, eloquent sermons were preached by visiting priests. On Easter Sunday the April number of St. Benedict's Messenger will be published. Happy and joyous Easter to all the readers of THE TRIBUNE. Memoriam. In sad and loving remembrance of my dear wife, LOUISA A. ALEXANDER. who departed this life March 27th 1909, one year ago today. All is dark within our home. And lonely is our hearts today. For the one we love so dearly Has forever pass away. She suffered long and murmured not; Though far away she is not forgotten. The good Lord does all things for the beat, And took her home from us to rest Safe upon the heavenly shore, Done with pain forevermore Weariness and weakness are over, O the calm and quiet rest On her lovling Saviour's breast, Perfect peace supremely blest Safe forevermore. Storms shall never reach her there. In that heavenly mansion fair From the wells of our hearts arise tears of regret, Though she sleeps beneath the sod I can never forget, But when we cross death's dark river And reach that bright and happy land, Our love ones will greet us And welcome us over.

"Come then fount" was sung and prayer offered. The 24th Psalm was read and the Union chanted "A Charge to keep I have." Rev. I. T. Griner's paper, Parables of the New Testament, are they really true or simply allegorical thoughts," was discussed by Revs. J. S. Jenkins, P. W. Greatheart, R. H. Singleton, L. B. Shellman and the president. Rev. Griner replied and thanked the Union. From the reports of the various ministers, the churches and congregations are steadily growing.

The vocal solo by Miss May Stewart and the violin solo by Mr. A. J. Elkins were great successes thus eliciting much applause and favorable comment. The papers on the Negro Press and Lessons from Life and Works of Dunbar by Messrs. H. Hymes and E. W. Sherman respectively, showed much previous thought and preparation on the part of the authors.

League was held last Sunday at Bethel A. M. E. Church. Service began by singing "Pass me not," then prayer was offered. The scripture lesson was then read. The subject was "Money a curse or a blessing." The topic was then offered for discussion. After many had spoken on the subject and the verdict was rendered, not guilty, but the use of money proved to be either a curse or a blessing, all was happy again. The literary part of the program was taken up, the renditions of which were good throughout. Prof. B. S. Reed's solo was enthusiastically received. Collection $2.05. Adjournment. Pythian Period.

The first service will be at a m at which time Prof. McDowell and his well trained choristers will render a fine musical program. It goes without saying that St. Stephen's choir possess some of the most charming soloists in the city, and it is said by persons in a position to know that their singing is the "talk of the town." Lovers of good music then, will find a treat in store for them on Sunday morning; at this service there'll also be a celebration of the Holy Communion and a sermon appropriate to the day which is the great Festival of the Resurrection of Christ. The Sunday shool concert and festival will take place at night, beginning promptly at 8 o'clock. The carols are the prettiest heard in many years and persons, who are fond of hearing children sing and speak little pieces, all being done in an orderly and reverent manner would do well to be present. Whatever misgivings may have existed in the minds of some persons as to the treatment method out to strangers at St. Stephen's, they were undoubtedly dispelled by the reception accorded them at the Confirmation services last Sunday night when a solid mass of four hundred and fifty people of all shades and of every station in life invaded the church. All though extra seats were provided, and the gallery was full, there were many standing in the church, and fully a hundred were outside on the side walk unable to get in. A large number of white churchmen were present, and the whole science was symbolic of the ideal church in which all the nations and races of the earth shall be gathered as children of one father. Sixteen persons were presented for confirmation. The Rev. M W. Weston of St. Augustine's Mission assisted in the services. After the candidates were confirmed Bishop Rosse made a brief address to them and afterwards preached. Thus ended another chapter in the history of the St. Stephen's, one long to be remembered. A cordial invitation is extended to the general public to the services not only on special occasions, but throughout the year. Second Baptist Church. Sunday services were well attended here, and the rally was a success, though several clubs are yet to report, therefore the rally was continued till tomorrow. The revival will begin next Tuesday night, and Rev May will be assisted by Dr McD. Spencer of Valdosta, Ga. Dr Spencer is one of the greatest revivalists in the South. The Easter exercises will take place tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. A number of members on the sick list, among whom are Elaters McGowan, Jenkins, Maxwell, Hannah Early, Margret Roberts, Brothers James Elmore and Isaiah Harris are very sick. Three funerals during the week. The Women's Mission Society will meet tomorrow after morning service. A pastor's Aid Society will be organized at an early date. The pastor will preach tomorrow morning The public is invited to hear him. Your presence will be appreciated. Every member of the church is called to be present the first Sunday morning; business of importance that concerns each member. For Over Fifty Years.

They will drag you away to the torture. Oh, wit can we do?” * Qlaerchea, the little daughter of ‘Brentius of Wurtemberg, burst into the room where her father sat bend- ‘ing over the old black-letter Bible, her eyes wide and staring and her face as white as chalk. ‘Her father rose quietly withont haste or apparent fear, He closed the great Bible carefully and ltted it’back to its place. 5 “My daughter, do not be so trou- bled," he said.- “I havo known for a long time that this might happen to me. 1am in the Lord's hands. He ‘will care for me.” “O father, father; hurry, hurry! You must not be found here. Run down the secret stairs and get away. I will tell them that you went Into the country yesterday.” “Tell nothing that is untrue, my daughter. What does the word of God say: ‘Lie not one to another.’ I ‘would rather be taken and put to the torture than to have my dear Uttle daughter do a thing that Is wrong.’ “O father,” cried Claechen in ago- ny. “Do not stop to talk. They may be here in fye minutes. Go! Go! And yet—how can I let you go. No one will dare to help you now that the soldiers are after you. If they do not «take you, I fear you will starve to death.” “God wilt take of me, Claerchen. shall fear no evil. Whether I live or die, it 1s His’ will. Now I am go- ‘ing, Claeroten. Pray for me and pray tor yourself, too, and be a good girl “till I seo you again.” . A tremendous knocking on thé cas- ‘tle gate sounded even as he spoke. “The holdiers had arrived with their cwarrant. But Brentius of Wurtem- iberg was not hurried or disconcerted. ‘He calmly bent and kissed the white, agonized face upturned tr him and ‘even stopped to drop a kiss on the soft har. “God will take careof us. Do not be disturbed, my daughter,” he said, and in a second he was gone. It was none toa soan, for that very minute the soldiers came bursting in. Claer- chen was safe, for even the inqulst- tion did not persecute children; but her father must fly for his Hfe, for the sake of the faith which he would not give up. ‘They searched the castle from top to bottom, but they did not find its master. By the time the search was ended he was far away, plodding across the fields In the dress of peas- ant. But his danger was not over, On all sides were enemles watching for him. He dared not ask for food or shelter of bis friends for that ‘would have brought the terrors of the inquisition upon them. He traveled a= ian ry Pie i P iii By Guido Reni. Bi night long; and at daybreak, faint and weak for want of food, he crept into ahayloft and burrowed | down in the hay, - Before the sun was an hour high his enemies were searching for him there.

If he is not here there is no uso of wasting more time.” % ‘They rammed the hay up and down with their bayonets, but strangely enough did not touch the man hidden beneath it. Quite convinced that he could not be there, they went away with surly oaths. Brentlus was weak with hunger, for it had been twenty-four hours since he had tasted food, yct he was still undisturbed. “The God Who fed Elijah will feed me when the time comes,” he sald, and he closed his eyes and dropped to sleep as peacefully as it he bad beon in his own bed. He was awak- ened by a subgued cackle. The yel- low bexms of sunlight lay like gold before his eyes. The dusty hayloft was full of splendor and, standing there beside a new-made rest, was a motherly hen who turned her- bright eyes sidewise as if to say, ‘Seé what I havo left for you." There is the nest was a new-latd egg. Never did the richest morsel from a king's table taste so delicious as that egg did to hungry Brentius. ' “God 1s caring for me,” he said devoutly. “He has given me food for the body and time to meditate upon His goodness.” The Jong hours hidden, in the hay were not even weary hours to him. Every morning for fourteen days the hen came and afd an egg. On the fifteenth day she did not come. “Now I perceive of a truth that the Lord hath removed mine eneniles,” said the old Protestant. “As the manna ceasea of old when there was no longer need for it, so now’ has my dally supply ceased. ‘Trusting in this leading of the Lord, I will now go forth from my place of concealment.” In the darkness of the night he clambered down from the loft. Not a dog barked; not a fowl stirred. In perfect ailence and quite unmarked, he made his way to the home of a friend whom he knew to be faithful. He found that the soldiers who had been watching for him had left the town that very day. He was easily hidden by his friend until he could make his escape to a province where the Protestants were not pérsecuted; and after a.while-better daya came to Germany snd he went ‘back to his home and his little daughter, ‘There they lived happily all the rest of their lives, ‘worshiping God according’ to the dictates of thelr own consclences. ‘This 1s not a-made-up story, but_e true incldenfiof the Reformation. It will be good for our girls to think of it as they rejoice in their many col- ored, Easter eggs, and to remember how God bas cared for those who trusted Him in “the midst of every danger. Flowers Appropriate to Easter. Apart from its religious signifi- eancé, Easter is the spring festival, and the real flowers of early spring, the tullp, the daffodil, the wild ar- butus, are {ts more appropriate floral symbols. We derive our name for it from Ostara, the Saxon goddess of the East and the dawn? In Latin countries they cling to variants of the Aramic “pesach” (passover) as pas- cua, pasqua, paques. If there is such a flower as “the Resurrection Lily,” it must be the small purplo Illy of Pal- estine. ‘As a matter of fact, when the lily fs mentioned in other seasons, we never think of Easter. “Consider the Miles of the field.” Solomon, in all hts glory, was not so arrayed." Flow- ers gorgeous in color are brought to mind, To paint them, cries Salls- bury, in “King John,” were “waste- ful’ and ridiculous-excess.” The fieur de lys of France ts blue. The tiger ly, the panther lily, the red lily are as common in botany, if not in Ber- muda and the Hastern markets, as the big white lly. ‘The Easter Lily. = The big white Illy, grown in pro- fusion in Bermuda and elsewhere to meet the annual demand for fioral symbols of Easter, is not essentially an Eastern flower, and its recent as- soclation with the commemoration of the Resurrection has no historical significance. White lilies, to be sure, figure in some of the early religious portraiture. The little white lily of the woods, a flower of early summer, has long been associated by the poets, including Shakespeare, Keats and Tennyson, with modesty and -purity. But the big Bermuda lily iz not a symbol of modesty and has ‘Inspired no poet. = Hot Cross Buns. + | ‘The day for hot cross buns will soon be here, and this is how to make them: Put two and a half pounds of flour into a wooden bowl and set tt before the fire to warm; then add half a pound of sifted sugar, some gorlander seed, cinnamon and mace powdered fine; melt half a pound of butter in Ealf a pint of milk; when it is as Warm as it can bear the finger mix with it three tablespogntuls of very thick yeast ard a little salt; put it to the flour, mix it to a paste and make the buns; put them on a tin, set before the fire for a quarter of an hour; cover over with a flannel, then brush them with very warm milk; put a cross on the top and bake them till a nice brown in a moderate oven. F Pagan in Oricin. Most of the popular observances of the day which the church partly adopted by introducing them into its ‘Easter services are Clearly of pagan origin. Eastertide, long before Boni- face brought the Gospel to the Ger- mans, was a period of joy and jubila- tion. Spring had arrived. Ostara, the bright and victorious divinity, had conquered. Brighter and warmer days assured the rejuvenation of na-_ ture. Man’s hope and “activity” re- vived. Like the Ushas of thelr Hindu | cousins in far-off Asia, Ostara, the | youthful goddess, danced for Joy, a symbolical belief which the church adopted in the legend that thé lamb was,seen on Easters Sunday frisking in the rays of the rising sun at dawn.

The Easter Blossoms. ‘ | Every florist that grows her own lilies and other plants for the Eastér festival should be’ giving some active thought and attention to that phase of floriculture fow. Easter will be here almo&t before we know it, and no one wants to be without a few decorative plants for that occasion. Those who have made practically no preparation can get a supply of the quickly maturing bulbs from the nearest florist and begin work with them with the assurance that they ut furnish blossoms in time for the purposes {rtended, says the Woman's Magazine. It depends much upon the condition in which tho Illes havo been kept as to ,what treatment should be given thtm, but it is prob- ably none too early to begin forcing them a little and getting them in good shape and active readiness for blossoming at the time blossoms are wanted. Easter is a floral occaston and thero ig little excuse for any one being without flowers when that time arrives. “Bright Day.” In the East Easter is still kngwn as the “Bright Day.” It has also been designated the holiday of hope, as Christmas has been styled the fes- tival of faith and Pentecost that of love, Like the neasons in which these ‘By E. von Gebhardt. three great church feasts fall, each has its own peculiar atmosphere and character. The celebration of the birth of Christ, occurring about the darkest period of winter, bears more of a domestic character and is chiefly kept and appreciated at the hearth- side and in the family. It claims-the individual and his faith. Easter Day, as a feast more generally celebrated by congregational and eucharistic ob- servances, gathers the church mem- bers in their unity, and upon the event It celebrates the church bases its,hope. While Christmas is primar- fly a tamily feast, Easter is of a more general and, as has been well sald, of natlonal importance. Pentecost, in its symbolical aspect, exhibiting In- ternational and cosmopdlitan fea- tures, for it unites all mankind as one brotherhood in the spirit of love and charity, MINSTRELS IN THE HEN HOUSE, An Bester Tay. s 2. egt 2% AD, a pe ae Be Ph), 3. eee GS as } ra rita * IE ean ee Sea ‘The hens are acting Joud and ong, ig that's why ‘we ean ‘What every minstrel: has a “lay.” —Weshington Star.

Yon Wednesday night of last week, the members of Eureka Lodge No. — observed -the forty-fourth anniversary of thd Lodge. A large numberyof the members was out and many of them ‘made expressions of thelr Masonic experlence and love for the order. Worsalpful Master G. L. Binyard, who has been the faithful head of the Lodge for the last number of years led off in spirited manner followed by the others. During this part, Grand Treasurer G, L. Bowens presid- ded, and the members were proud to have him present. By request the Secretary of the Lodge prepared a history of the Lodge, and gave facts that but a very few ‘Masons in tag State ore acquainted with. He start- ed with the organization of the con- vention, to the setting up of the Lodge, its membership with the Prince Hall Grand Lodge, the formation ot the other two Lodges that afterward united into the organization of the Grand Lodge. From this point ne showed ihe penrens of the Lodge to the present, naming its Worshipful Masters and years served. ‘These hhistorical facts were well received by the brothers, who ordered same printed in pamphlet form for the in- formation of everybody. After the many good things were said the brethren were invited to the lower flodr, where a faithful set. of brethren uad prepared abundant refreshments. All who attended went away full of inspiration and # determ- ination to do more than ever for the upbullding of Masonry, and continu ing the work begun by the Mother Lodge in Georgia. ORPHAN HOME DAMAGED. About 8:30 o'clock Monday morn- ing, lightening struck the Orphan Home building in Americus and dam- aged It to the extent of about $2,000. This intelligence will be received with great regret by the brethren who have Jabored so hard for the upbuild- ing of this institution. But this can not be helped. We have had worse calamities than this, and have surviv- ed them. This is the time now for every Mason to rally and do every- thing possible for the repairing of the great damage, and do, not allow our unfortunate orphans to be without a place of refuge training. No doubt the Grand’ Master will issue an appeal to all of the Lodges, and if so, the breth- ren must prepare? to do their very best even if they are compelled to make sacrifices to do so. The call has been fssued for the communication of the Grand Lodge at Americus on Tuesday June 14. A copy of this call» and all necessary blanks have been forwarded to each Lodge in that order that.reports cai be rendered by May fitst:z We do not want the Lodges to sénd any money to the Grand Lodge this year, but to the Grand Secretary before May first 80 that a complete report can be ren- dered thus giving the craft full infor- mation as to the gednaing of the-order in the State in‘évery respect. In event that a Lodge has not recéive these blanks, write the Grand Secre- tary for same. If you have no blanks: Will be no excuse whatever for the not rendering of this report on time. Let every. otficér take full notice of this and-sict accordingly. 4 The confing conimiupication of the Grand Lodge is-expécted to, be the grandest in the” history: of tHe Jurls- diction. The Grand Master expect each Lodge to be repreaénted, and a full report submitted'on.time to every department. AVOID SHORTCUTS, Freemasonry is under no necessity of accommodating itself to the caprices of individuals who wish to attain its honors ;and preferments by short-cuts. It 1s xiot, honored by the accession of & man who, in some way, has become noted, nor by one who waits until he is ready for 8 voyage, or a change of residence and business, and then ap- plies for initiation into its mysteries. Better never make such men ,Masons than to so lower the Institution as to make it-wubseryient to thelr convent- enco’aud-capricés, for they never will appreciate thé honor conferred, of, rather, the favor thus bestowed —John- W.
