VOL. XXV. Seismic Disturbances Cause Serious Damage in Avellino. Twenty Persons Reported Dead In One City · Telegraph Wires Destroyed—Much Naples, Italy. — A severe earth-shock caused a number of deaths and much property damage in central Campania. The disturbance appears to have centered in the province of Avellino. Telegraph wires were torn down, and communication with the affected district was broken. Meager information received indicates that the greatest damage was done at Calitri, Avellino province. Calitri is said to have been half destroyed and twenty people are reported to have been killed there. Other deaths occurred at Valta, nearby, and it is feared that fatalities will be reported from other villages which, for a time, are cut off from communication with this city. The shock occurred while the people were still in their beds. Many houses at Calitri tumbled, burying the occupants in the ruins. Those who escaped death or serious injury fled terror-streken from their homes and into tue country. None waited to don street clothes, and as a result many subsequently suffered from exposure. A panic was created at Torre Anunzizata and Torre del Greco, where the populations live in constant fear of an eruption from Mount Vesuvius. Avellino, Compartment of Campania, Italy—The province of Avellino bore the brunt of a severe earthquake that was felt throughout southern Italy. Fatalities occurred, and much damage was done to property. It was the darkest hour of the morning when the shock was felt here. The sleeping town was aroused by the shaking of walls, the rattling of furniture and the falling of plaster from the cellings. In a moment panic had seized the 20,000 inhabitants, who live in daily fear of a seismic disaster. Half-naked men, women and children fled from their homes screaming with terror. They had in their minds visions of Messina and the horror of Reggio. Recently there was gossiped about a prediction that the approach of Halley's comet portended the end of the world. The authorities kept their heads, but they could not stay the mad russ for the squares and open districts outside the city. The wildest confusion prevailed and the frightened ones could not be reasoned with; could not be stopped. In the squares hundreds threw themselves upon their faces and implored the god of God. Then the religious fervor found expression in half-organized processions to the shrine of St. Andrew, the protector of the town. Others climbed to the sanctuary on Monte Vergine. After several hours of frantic entreaty, the authorites succeeded in re-establishing a semblance of calm, and relief squads were organized. JAP A POOR HUSBAND. Divorce from Her Japanese Husband 'Asked by Archdeacon's Daughter. Carson, Nev—An application for divorce on the grounds of desertion and failure_to support was filed in the district court here by Mrs. Helena Gladys Ooki against her husband, Gunjiro Aoki, who was formerly employed as a servant in the home of the wife's parents. Mrs. Aoki is the daughter of Archdeacon Emery of the Episcopal Church residing at Corte Madeira, Cal. Her marriage to the Japanese at Seattle in March, 1909, had been bitterly opposed by the residents of various places where unsuccessful efforts to have the ceremony performed were made. Following their marriage the couple lived in Seattle for several months, and there a child was born to them. WATER MADE WEIGHT. Getting to Evansville, Ind—John Hays, aged 26, living at Mount Vernon, Ill., tried to enlist at the United States navy here, and was told he lacked just one pound of the necessary weight. He went outside and drank a gallon of water. Then he returned and proved to the recruiting officer that he had brought himself up to the required weight. He was accepted. Hays felt no ill effect from the large quantity of water he drank. RETURN CONFEDERATE FLAG. Chicago Man Sends the Banner to the Governor of Virginia. Chicago, Ill. After nearly fifty years of separation from the people for whom it was intended, a flag made for the Nottaway troop of the Confederate army cavalry, and with which many memories are associated, will soon be restored to the survivors of the famous Nottaway troop. The flag has been sent to Governor W. H. Mann of Virginia by Adolph Babcock of Chicago, who discovered it among the relics of his father. The elder Babcock was a soldier in the Union army, but members of the Babcock family do not know how he obtained the flag. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. OVERCHARGE ON PEACHES. The Peach Growers of Georgia-Want Five Million Dollars Rebate. Atlanta, Ga.—It is very probable that the peach growers in Georgia, through the action of the Georgia Fruit Exchange in suing before the Interstate Commerce Commission for a reduction in the minimum weight to be loaded in a refrigerator car, will be able to recover over a half million dollars for overcharge. Counsel for the Georgia Fruit Exchange have already filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington a petition to reduce the minimum weight allowed from 22,000 pounds of 15,000 pounds per car. The reason advanced for cars are not capable of refrigerating 535 crates, the number required to take advantage of the present minimum weight, but are only capable of refrigerating 448 crates, a total loss of 87 crates, if packed in a car, because these are so badly damaged when they arrive at destination as not to be salable. For some time now the fruit growers, in order to save this loss in fruit, have not packed the cars but four stacks high, 448 crates, but have paid for the full minimum weight. This has entailed a loss of about $42 a car. This has taken place for two seasons, which draws up the aggregate amount which is collectable, in the event the Interstate Commerce Commission returns a favorable decision, of over $500,000, and to go to the fruit growers of Georgia. MEXICAN BOLL WEEVIL Ravages of Pest in the State of Mississippi Will Be Reduced. Jackson, miss.-Although the Mexican boll weevil has made its appearance in the cotton fields in several counties of the state and punctured square are being reported from many sections, indications are that the farmers in the infested areas will not become panic-stricken and plow under their cotton stands. The special agents of United States department of agriculture, bureau of plant industry, are keeping closely in touch with the farmers and earnestly urging them not to get rash or reckless, believing that it will be possible to reduce fair-sized crops in the communities where the weevil has made its appearance. That the farmers must stick to the cultural method and learn by experience now to grow cotton in spite of the weevil, is the doctrine being taught by the government experts, and the farmers are showing a willingness to put their faith in the advice given team by federal authorities, which is accompanied by statistics showing how in certain Texas counties the farmers have steadily increased cotton production from year to year in spite of the weevil. The government agents are still holding to the belief that the ravages of the weevil in Mississippi this year will be greatly minimized by the wholesale destruction of larvae during the unusually cold winter, and the several freezes that occurred just prior to the planting season. Whether this will prove true, remains to be seen, but the number of weevils found in the fields in infested areas is much smaller than reported at this time last year, and it is probably true that millions of weevils were destroyed by the freezing weather. AERIAL WAR TEST. Government to Test Utility of Aeroplane in Warfare. New York City—A spectacular test of the utility of toe aeroplane in warfare to be made at the military encampment of United States troops and the national guard of several Southern states at Chickamauga Park, Ga., June 22 to 24. The government has closed a contract with Charles K. Hamilton, who appeared in Atlanta during the auto races, to conduct the most extensive practical experiments in aerial reconnaissance and bombardment ever attempted. In addition to Hamilton's machine, which is a duplicate of the machine in which Glenn H. Curtiss flew from Albany to New York, there will be present at the maneuvers the Wright biplane owned by the government and the dirigible balloon sold to the war department by Captain Thomas S. Baldwin. In executing the work laid out for him, Hamilton will carry aloft from 200 to 300 pounds of highly explosive nitro-glycerin bombs. Racing at a speed varying from 45 to 55 miles an hour, he will release this deadly cargo while at a height of a quarter of a mile above the earth, raining it down upon targets in the two-miles square area below in 75 installments. The targets undercash will consist of dummy fortifications, batteries, arsenals, bridges, trains and troops. In order that danger to life may be minimized to the remotest degree, the troops engaged in the maneuvers will be employed to police the area. over which Hamilton will carry on his extraordinary operations. To Establish Jew College. Galveston, Texas—Wealthy Jews of Texas will co-operate with Jacob Schiff of New York in purchasing large tracs of land, between Galveston and Houston for colonization. The purpose of the project is to divert immigration of the Jewish race from New York to Texas. The settlers will be given land at a low price. First`Cotton Blooms. Americus, Ga. — The first cotton blooms developing in southwestern Georgia this season were brought to Americus from the Ferguson and the Methyn plantations in Sumter-county. The general-condition of cotton crops; here is satisfactory, though needing rain. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1910. RAILWAYS AND TAFT AGREE; HIGHER RATES WITHDRAWN Transportation Magnates and the President Have Conference. "SQUARE DEAL". PROMISED ROADS Washington, D. C. — A complete agreement between the government and the recently enjoined railroads of the Western Trunk Line Association was reached at a white house conference, which lasted for more than four hours. The railroads represented agreed to withdraw all rate increases' filed to be effective on or after June 1, and agreed to file no more increases until the bill in congress, which gives the interstate commerce commission power to investigate and suspend increases that are not justified, becomes a law and goes into effect. President Taft thereupon stated that the administration's purpose in bringing the injunction suit had been accomplished and the suit would be discontinued. The discontinuance will not be enforced, however, until after the new railroad law is signed. The belief was expressed that all of the other railroads of the country which have filed increased rates, or have had such a plan under consideration, will abide by the agreement reached with the 24 railroads named as defendants in the recent suit. Everyone connected with the conference seemed gratified over the outcome. All that President Taft has desired is that the interstate commerce commission should have authority to investigate increases in rates to determine whether or not they are justified by prevailing conditions and are just to the shippers. This power is to be conferred under the new law. The railroads, on the other hand, it is pointed out, are to be relieved or embarrassing litigation, are assured of a "square deal" when their case is presented to the interstate commerce commission, and are free to resume-the-contracts for-improvements and extensions which they threaten to cancel had the court proceedings continued. UNITED STATES DEFIED. Situation at Bluefields, Nicaragua, Has Become Acute. Bluefields, Nicaragua. "At the first shot fired against the American flag or an American vessel I will level the bluff." This is the reply made by Commander Harold K. Hines, commanding the American gunboat Dubuque, to a threat made by General Rivas, of the Madriz forces, holding Blueelens Bluff, to stop by force any vessels of whatever nationality entering the harbor. General Rivas has practically defied the United States, declaring that he will disregard the proclamation issued from Washington on May 31 to the effect that the United States government will deny the right of either faction to seize American-owned vessels and property without consent or and reprimence to the owners. He has warned Commander Hines that he will prevent by force, regardless of flag, any further vessels from entering the harbor. In response to this the American commander himmeately sent to him the above message, which would mean the annihilation on the handful of Madriz troops now remaining in this neighborhood. A critical situation has thus arisen which may involve the United States, but the American officers here are of the opinion that General Rivas will not attempt to make good his threat in an effort to collect customs duties. There are constant rumors of threats against the life of Thomas P. Moffatt, the American consul here, and the whole situation at Bluefields, instead of quieting, has assumed a more serious aspect. LORIMER WILL BE TRIED. Formal Charges Made in Senate Against Illinois Senator. Washington, D. G.-Formal charges against Senator William Lorimer of Illinois were laid before the senate by his colleague, Senator Cullom. The proceeding was the presentation of a memorial by Clifford W. Barnes of Chicago, president of the Illinois Legislative Voters' League, embodying the charges of bribery of members of, the Illinois legislature. The memorial was read only in part and was referred without comment to the committee on privileges and elections. OYSTER DECISION. Floating of Oysters Will Be Permitted by Government. 'Washington, D. C.—In a decision issued by the department of agriculture, it was announced that the "floating" of oysters would be permitted by the department if the water in which the floating was 'done was of the same saline contents" as the water in which the oysters were grown. The department ruled that if oysters for interstate shipment are given a drink of fresh water they must be marked on the container "floating oysters." If they are floated in water that is polluted they will be considered adulterated Wife of Ex-President Pleased With Reception She Received in Enge London, England—Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, who has shared the honors of Colonel Roosevelt abroad, and who has been exalted in a manner which has fallen to few other American women, is delighted with the royal receptions granted her everywhere, but she is secretly counting the days until the statue of liberty breaks into view from the ship which will carry her back to America. She said so wailhe publicly thanked the people of Great Britain and the continental capitals for their many honors. Mrs. Roosevelt said that the part of the trip which she enjoyed the best_was the carriage drive with her husband over the route where they had spent their honey-moon, years ago. She was also greatly interested in looking at the old church where she and Colonel Roosevelt were married in London. She said it had changed, but very little. Acclaimed almost as the wife of a person of royalty, halled everywhere, honors were showered thick and fast upon the head of her distinguished husband, Mrs. Roosevelt came in for complimentary receptions without end. To use the expression that was made famous by her husband, Mrs. Roosevelt is delighted. She says her time has been so taken up in acknowledging elaborate affairs planned in her honor that she has had but little time to grow homesick, although she will feel very happy when she sees once again the shores of her native land. "America for Americans always, and especially for American women," said Mrs. Roosevelt, after she had consented to discuss certain phases of her triumphal journey through all Europe. "There was not a thing to mar the pleasure of the trip at any place or any time. The kings and queens to whom I was introduced are the most delightful people imaginable. Queen Alexandra is a splendid woman. It is no wonder the English people loved her so much. She is a woman of beautiful character. In her affliction she is endeared even closer to the hearts of her people. A NEW DANCE. "Aviation Dance" Boosted by Professors of Dancing. Chicago, Ill.—Members of the Professional Teachers of Dancing, who held their annual convention here, are demonstrating the "aviation dance," or the "airship glide," which they say will become more popular than the waltz or two-step. "In dancing now," said a lecturer before the convention, "people hop too much; they ought to glide. They wiggle too frequently; they ought to float. They work saxesolves into a sweat; they should take it coolly and aviate." "There is no skipping in the 'aviation dance,' no hopping, no galloping. The idea is to seem to not touch the floor. You glide over, sweep over or 'aviate' over the floor. It will take some little time for one to learn the aviation dance, but it is vastly more pleasing gthan waltz or two-step." FAMOUS WOLF KILLED. "One Toe" is at Last Lail Low by Wyoming Ranchman. Upton, Wyoming—"One Toe," the most famous wolf in the west, was laid low by William Jenkins, a ranchman, who shot the animal, which has been hunted by stock growers in this state for years. "One Toe," so named from the fact that his trail showed him to have but one toe on his right forepaw, has been the despair of stock growers for many years, raiding their herds and being held responsible for losses that aggregate thousands of dollars. He was too wary to be led into a trap and could never be deceived into acting poisoned meat. Jenkins will receive a big reward offered by the stockmen and the state for the destruction of the four-footed raider. Serious Indian Uprising. Dispatches from Merida, the capital of Yucatan, state that forty persons were killed by the Maya Indians. Further dispatches received here state that 5,00 of these Indian insurgents sacked the town of Valladolid, ninety-five miles to the southeast of Merida, killing all the principal government employees, the chief of police and others. They seized rifles and pistols and instituted a reign of terror. Newsv Paragraphs. The latest meanest man has been discovered in New York. He kept all his money in his shoes and slept with his shoes on, to prevent his wife getting any of it when she went through his pockets. Recent cold and rainy weather evidently encouraged the boll weevil in Louisiana, for reports are reaching Shereveport of the discovery of the troublesome pest on farms. As yet no great alarm has been occasioned. So far the weevil is not in as large numbers as last year. Nearly one hundred young Scotch women, betrothed to men who have been in America from six months to several years, arrived in New York city in the first and second cabin and steerage of the Caledonia from Glasgow. Some of the first cabin voyagers were met at the pier by men, who took them away to marry them. The steerage passengers, who were taken to Ellis Island, may be released and married. AUTO CURSE OF COUNTRY SAYS CHANCELLOR DAY Syracuse Professor Denounces the Automobile Craze. Professor Day.Declares That Many Msn Are Martiging Their Homes to Purchase Syracuse, N. Y. There are so many men coursing about the country in automobiles and their pleasure adsorbs such a large share of the productive capital of the country that Chancellor James R. Day of Syracuse University believes it is becoming a question if the automobile is not a curse to the country. The chancellor was speaking to the graduating class of the university on self-sacrifice and self-denial "Young mechanics and clerks and business men," he said, "who need all of their capital are mortgaging their homes by the thousands and losing their positions often by their infatuation with this form of pleasure. "It is said that above five hundred million dollars are invested in the automobile trade and this enormous capital is non-productive. That is, it add comparatively nothing to the wealth of the people, but on the contrary absorbs it. It means 90 per cent of wasted money and wasted time. A certain per cent-returns in business uses and wholesome rest and recreation. It know the criticism that will be sure to come because of what will be called an attack on a great industry, but I address myself to the abuse of self-indulgence in a good thing. I emphasize, self-denial." Selfishness is responsible, the chancellor believes, for a lower marriage rate. "If you want to know," he said, "why men marry less than of old, perhaps the secret is in the false whin of supporting a wife." He cannot afford to support a wife, the bachelor says. No woman ought to consent to be such a wife. She ought to say: I am not seeking or consenting to be supported. There will be two of us. If I cannot earn as much as you, I can save more. We will plan together. "The greatest woman is the woman who bring to a man a home. She is greater than the suffragette or the female 'temperance lecturer.'" CHURCH STATISTICS. Church Growth Exceeds Increase In Population Washington, D. C.—Crugeri growth in the United States has been greater than the increase in population between the years of 1900 and 1906, according to the special census report on the census of religious bodies for 1906, now in press. In the principal cities of the country, the growth, both in, the number of religious organizations and communities, was far greater in the years mentioned than the increase in population, while in the area outside the principal cities the rate of increase in the number of new churches was approximately the same as the rate of population increases, although in the number of communicants the increase in the outside area as in the cities, was in excess of that in population. Out of every 1,000 people in the 160 principal cities of the country—that is those which had a population of more than 25,000—there 'were 469 church members, while for the area outside these cities there were 363; and for the entire country there were 391. As compared with 1890; the report shows a gain of 90% communicants in each 1,000 of population for the principal cities and a gain of 51 outside of them. Female members in 1906 outnumbered the male members by 32 per cent in 'continental United States, while in the principal cities the excess of female members was proportionately less, being 960,526, or 23.5 per cent. TEXAS HOOK WORM SAFE. Money of Rockefeller Will Not Be Used to Fight Parasite. Austin, Texas—Not one cent of the Rockefeller million-dollar fund for the investigation of the hook worm disease will be spent in Texas. State Health Officer Brumby briefly announced that the Rockefeller hook worm commission will do no work in Texas. When asked the reason the doctor said: "There are a number of hitches we do not care to discuss. If suffices to say there will be no hook worm investigation. It was impossible for the state board of health and the hook worm commission to work together satisfactorily." YOUR SHARE OF MONEY. Each Person Would Have $34.59 if Money Were Divided. Washington, D. C.—Treasury officials figure out that if all the money in circulation in the United States were divided equally, every man, woman and child would have $34.59. This is 14 cents per capita more than they should have had, by the same process of reasoning a month ago: Compared with a year ago there was on June 1, $14,000,000 more money in circulation and yet, strange as it may seem, the per capita was 42 cents less. This, it is said, is due to the increases in population. The general stock of money in the United States on June 1 was, $3,292,284,000. LATE NEWS NOTES. Hetty Green, generally credited with being the richest woman in America, will be assisted hereafter in the management of her financial affairs, by her son, E. H.R. Green. The authorities at the Bronx zoological gardens regretfully admitted that Alice, the biggest elephant at the zoo, is a thief. She stole a diamond ring from Miss Elizabeth Morrell of Chappaqua, N. Y., who was feeding crackers to her. The ring, which was on Miss Morrell's finger, was loose, and Alice apparently snatched it under the impression that it was good to eat. Alice is estimated to be worth more than the ring and so there will be no interesting surgical operation. Examination of the United States dry dock Dewey has strengthened the belief of those of the navy who have held that the damage was done deliberately by conspirators against the government. The dock sank more rapidly than would have been the case had all the valves been opened and no other opening made. Accordingly, the experts believe that a large hole will be found in the port side of bottom of the dock. A new type of sleeping car has been adopted recently by an interurban trolley system in Illinois. The object is to compete with the ordinary sleepers of the steam railroads. The upper berths are provided with windows the same as the lower, for light and ventilation, and another novel feature is an arrangement which permits the lower berth to be folded up in the morning independently of the upper. Each berth has a plush-lined steel locker with locks. The beds are detachable, so as to be taken out for airing and cleansing. After all the pros and cons of when and where and how Halley's comet passed the earth comes a report from Paris saying that French astronomers believe that the comet now in the western sky, is not Halley's comet, and that Halley's comet will arrive some time in August or September. Still the leading astronomers are not taking that report very seriously as yet, and they appear to have little doubt that Halley's comet did pass about on schedule time, although something had happened to conceal or delay or disperse its tail. A department store firm in Philadelphia has added one more to the list of welfare benefits for their five hundred employees. They have purchased an athletic field, which will be equipped with facilities for all kinds of outdoor sports, including tennis, baseball, basketball, running track, shower, baths, etc., and eventually, a modern club, house, for the, use of women and a gymnasium for women. The ground is a one-time baseball park, conveniently situated, and is already laid out as a diamond, with grand stand accommodations for two thousand five hundred people. A physician will be in attendance and the various activities will be in charge of officers of the company. Washington News. The United States supreme court upheld the "Jim Crow" law in the case of J. Alexander Chiles, a negro who bought a ticket over the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad from Washington to Lexington, Ky. At Ashland, Ky., he was obliged to change cars when a brakeman compelled him to sit in the "Jim Crow" cars. He sued the railroad for $10,000 damages, but the lower courts found against him. The supreme court upheld these decisions. Anti-Cigarette Crusader Lucy Page Gaston of Chicago has begun a fight to have the cigarette excused from the navy. She interviewed several naval officers and will see Secretary Meyer. Ten states have already enacted the laws prohibiting the sale and manufacture of cigarettes," said Miss Gaston. "The movement is one for the protection of the boys of the country." Announcement was made at the white house of the appointment or Charles D. Norton of Chicago private secretary to the president. Mr. Norton is at present assistant secretary of the treasury. He succeeds Fred W. Carpenter of California. Information received in Washington in letters from friends of Associate Justice W. H. Moody of the United States Supreme court now at Haverhill, Mass., indicates that it is possible his condition may necessitate his retirement from the supreme court bench next October. Several names have been mentioned as his probable successor, among the most prominent being that of Secretary of War Dickinson. There is also talk that Chief Justice Melville J. Fuller may retire after the October term of the court begins. Justice Fuller will be seventy-eight years of age next-February. He is so feeble that his voice is barely audible when announcing decisions from the bench. Senator Root of New York has been mentioned as his probable successor. Ex-President Roosevelt has written a letter from London to a prominent republican "insurgent" member of the house of representatives requesting the latter to meet him in a conference as soon as the ex-president arrives in New York on June 18. If possible, Mr. Roosevelt, this letter indicates, is desirous of learning the "insurgent" situation in the house from first hands. The member receiving the letter declined to allow the use of his name. The text of the letter was not made public. This government, it is understood, is making arrangements to secure indemnity from the Chinese government for those United States missionaries who have suffered financial loss in the recent riots. _ Largest» Sick /and: Death -Benofits;:Smallbst Premiums. o> em wnuans Present, 7 ©” Ry EDRVARD PERRY, Vioe Pasudeat ‘WALCTEROS.

Americus, Ga, — The farmers of Sumter are now thoroughly wedded to the theory of diversified crops, ana right at this time they are in the midst of the greatest grain harvest ever known in the ‘history of this section of Georgia. - Tae oat crop—the finest every pro- duced here—is being gathered, and the method of doing this is so entire- ly different from the old-time reap- hook process as to cause many to marvel at the progress made. The days of the raphook have passed Now, on nearly every large farm in Sumter, the big motor engine pull- ing the latest improved reapers anu binders across the fields of weaving grain do more and better work in a day than could a half hundred negro laborers applying the old method cf cradle and reaphook. Owing to this improved method of harvesting grain the acreage planted in Oats in Sumter is vastly increase. Already the crop here is more than half harvested, and the yield will ay- erage 30 to 40 bushels per acre, it is said, while on lands highly fertilized a field of even 100 bushels per acre is fully assured the farmer. The oat crop of Sumter county tais year will probably reach the unusual figures of, 250,000 bushels, and will not be surpassed by that of any county in the estate. | Eradicating Tick In Hall.

"I can't stand it, and, what's more, I won't," said little Mrs. Hinkle, catching the bars of her uncomfortable old cage of a rocking-chair. Mr. Hinkle placidly hung up his almanac and went out to sow the early peas. He could stand almost anything, and yet remain as serene as a cabbage head—which, indeed, his wife often said he resembled. Laviny's tantrums troubled him about as much as a mosquito's buzzing would trouble an elephant; but he thought they were kind of wearing to her, and that she would "come to quicker" alone. So he left her swinging herself seasick in the rocker, and shuffled off to the garden with a hoo and a pint dipper of peas. At the gate he met Miss Niddlings. "And howfs your poor wife?" said she, sniffing. She suffered with a chronic cold 'in the head, which gave her an extremely sympathetic manner. "Able to be stirring," replied Mr. Hinkle, shuffling on in his brown leather moccasins. Even a cabbage head may be, as it usually is, ruffled inside; and deep in his slow-beating heart Mr. Hinkle was annoyed at the sight of Miss Niddlings and the embroidered bed-ticking bag which be-tokened a week's visit. "Lavin's putchfly enough without being set on," said he, leaning on his hoe in the favorite attitude adopted by scarecrows. "Yes, I really think she is," he went on, weighing the proposition deliberately. "Not that I mind her being spry-tempered and spitting out at me. It's only a way she has, and comes of her enjoying such poor health. She'll cool down; but that old maid haunt any call to rile her," and here Mr. Hinkle gave the hoe handle aresenttul poke, as if it personated the spinster aforesaid. Like many men not gifted in public speaking, he was much given to talking aloud when alone. Indoors, his wife claimed exclusive right of speech. "And here I've stuck, like a dab of putty, from the day I married with Reuben," she was saying to Miss Niddlins. "I've had to walk on eggs, or his folks would be in my hair. They've had their remarks to make about all my doings, and, you may depend upon it, it grudds." Mrs. Hinkle must have been ground very sharp indeed, judging by her cutting tongue. "Poor thing!" groaned Miss Niddlins, using her handkerchief just then because it would produce the effect of pity. "See how I was put upon this morning by his sister Phebe," said Mrs. Hinkle, moving the end of her nose rapidly back and forth with her forefinger, as if she were playing on a Jew's-harp. "That woman had the impudence to twit me of neglecting Reuben, because I leave him to get his own sewery circle nights!" "Don't tell me so!" sniffed Miss Niddlins. "Did Mr. Hinkle complain to her?" "Catch him complaining!" cried Mrs. Hinkle; "he hasn't got spunk enough. Why, he's no more grit, than a haystack, and he's as sot. I couldn't make him break with his folks if I was to suffer. Wish I was single, then I wouldn't be nosed 'round by 'em. Now here you are, free to go when you please!" Miss Niddlins sighed an affirmative. It was her peculiar trial that her relatives never opposed her going. "If you was to separate, I suppose you've got enough to live on," suggested she, cautiously. Mrs. Hinkle's rocker forked itself into a full stop. She had often said that "Reuben must choose between his folks and her," that "she would take herself off," and the like; but to have a third person hint at a separation startled her. "Well—yes," said she, hesitatingly. "I've got the property I brought with me when I was married. I won't deny but what Reuben has done the fair thing there; but then, if he had been some men, he might have doubled it by this time. The long and short of it is, he's half asleep. I have to keep stirring him up, and, after all, he don't appreciate me!" "I believe it would wake him pretty thoroughly if you should leave him," returned Miss Niddlings. "He'd begin to realize what a smart wife he'd lost!" "He'd clutter the kitchen with his greasy harnesses; and camp down on the lounge in his boots—that's what he'd do—the minute I was off!" snapped Mrs. Hinkle. "He couldn't manage without you to save his life," declared Miss Niddlings, confidently. "He'd go down on his knees to you to get you back." Mrs. Hinkle seemed flattered by the idea. "A pretty figure he's cut," laughed she. "fat as he is, and looking, you might say, as if he'd been blowed up in his clothes!" "I'm sure I don't see how you can smile, situated as you are," said Miss Niddlinns, showing symptoms of fresh cold. "His folks have tried my soup out of me," cried Mrs. Hinkle, hastily resuming her wrath; "and what's maddened me the most has been to see Reuben take it so cool. That man hasn't any more nerves than a tub of lard! I wouldn't value jumping off the meeting-house steepe if I thought it would give him a start." "Poor woman!" said Miss Niddlinns, displaying the red silk handkerchief, that might properly be called her badge of mourning. "It's your duty to yourself to go where you can take some peace of your life." "I don't feel clear," said Mrs. Hinkle, as she settled the coffee for dinner, and thus ended their first conference. But as Miss Diddlings spent the week justifying Mr. Hinkle's apprehensions, she and Mrs. Hinkle had ample opportunities for renewing the discussion of the latter's grievances, till, from not feeling "clear," Mrs. Hinkle, by the time her guest departed, came to feel, as she expressed it, "all in a muddle." Even her ox-syed husband noticed something amiss with her. "I wonder whether or no sage tea wouldn't be kind of quieting to Lavin," he reflected one morning as he jogged along to the village after turnip seed. "I hain't seen her so fractious since she had the neurology in her face. If she wasn't n poor sick creatur I don't know but I should get put out with her—I really don't," and Mr. Hinkle-lowered his voice to an awestruck whisper as he gave utterance to this treasonous thought. "His folks" lived in a sick-headache-colored house at the Four Corners; and his sister Phebe was hanging out clothes in the back-yard as he drove up. "Got any sage to spare?" cried Mr. Hinkle, whoaing Dobbin. "Mercy on us! Is Laviny going to make cheese in mud-time?" was Miss Phebe's answer. "Tisn't none of her doings," said Mr. Hinkle, slowly, punishing the wheel with his piph-hash; "but she's in a terrible nervous way, and I think maybe she needs something soothing. What's good for her nerves?" "I don't know, without it's a sound scolding," replied Miss Phebe, with her mouth full of clothes-plhs. "Now, sister, you're hard on Laviny," said Mr. Hinkle, in an injured tone. "She ain't tough, like what you be." "Her temper is tough enough; but I'm suited if you are, poor soul!" and Miss Phebe hunted for both sage and valerian, though inwardly persuaded that all the poplies in the world couldn't soothe Laviny when she once got "set out." Meanwhile Mrs. Hinkle had been doing a furious forenoon's work, and, ready to drop from exhaustion, was just hanging up the mop after scrubbing the kitchen floor, when dear, blundering old Reuben scuffed across the threshold with his torn paper bags, scattering dried leaves like an autumn, wind, and leaving muddy moccasin tracks at every step. Before those clumsy foot-prints Mrs. Hinkle's feeble forbearance fled. The herbs her husband had trusted might prove a narcotic acted upon her as a powerful irritant. "Reuben Hinkle!" said she, bracing her aching back against the pump, "how much longer do you think I'm going to wash floors for you to litter?" "There, there! now don't fret, pleaded Reuben; "I'll sweep it up. You do putter round more' you're able, that's a fact. You know I'm ready and willing to hire a girl any day." "A girl smouching my paint!" cried Mrs. Hinkle, in wrath. "Put down the broom, Reuben; you've made tracks enough. Your folks shall never have that handle, that I spend your money on hired help." "You're rather hard on 'em, Laviny," said Mr. Hinkle; "they mean well by you. Here's Phebe now, been and sent you something stilling. I told her what a fizz your nerves had been in lateir." "So you've been running me down to your folks!" cried Mrs. Hinkle, glaring at her husband. "After all I've stood from you, Reuben, it's tob much." Mr. Hinkle was a mild man—mild as milk; but even the sweetest of milk will sometimes turn sour in a thunder-storm, and oft-recurring matrimonial tempests had had their effect upon him. "I've always made excuses for you, Laviny, and tried my best to live peaceable," said he, slowly; "but, bibleye 'tain't in the power of mortal mank to get along with you." Then, in a state of great amaz- ment at himself, he went out to attackle Dobbin and sow the turnip seed. Listening in vain for the dinner-horn, he returned to the house half an hour past noon to find the fire out, his unlucky mud-prints dried upon the floor and his wife absent. "Gone off in a huff to her sister Tripp's, I guess," said he, patiently setting out the Sunday remnant of beans. "I'd have hitched up if I'd have knowed she wanted to go. She wouldn't speak to me, I s'pose, 'cause I'd-rilled her. I hadn't ougher done it—that's a fact." Having relieved his mind by this last confession, Mr. Hinkle ate his dinner with an excellent appetite, and, if due time, his supper also, his wife not having appeared. "I expect she calculates for me to go for her, and I'd better be off," sald he, as he strained the milk with extreme care and deliberation, and by this means let a slow stream trickle down the outside of the pall upon the spatless panty floor. "Why, if there ain't Ezra Tripp now," and as he spoke, in at the west door came his wife's brother-in-law, with unwilling-feet, as though goaded on by the spears of the setting sun behind him. "Layvin isn't sick, I hope?" said Mr. Hinkle, anxiously. "No, 'tisn't that," replied Mr. Tripp, twisting his forefinger under his collar, as if his cravat choked him—" 'tisn't that—but—" "She's getting most out of patience waiting for me, I suppose," suggested the unsuspecting Reuben. "Well, I'd oughher gone afore, only the off ox broke through the fence, and—" "Lavinny says she won't come back," interrupted Mr. Tripp, desperately; "for she's lived with you as long as she can stand it!" Mr. Hinkle flopped down like a starchless dicky. "I might have known she couldn't bear what I do," groaned he. "This morning, when she was blowing of me, I spoke ha'sh to her; I don't see how I come to. But, Ezra, you don't think, now, she won't never come round?" Mr. Tripp muttered something about his sister-in-law being "pretty resolute," and turned away. "I wish you'd carry over Lavinny's cough medicine," said Mr. Hinkle, rousing himself. "Lord! to think of her hacking in the night, and me not hearing her! And, Ezra, I'd take it kindly of you if you'd step in in the morning and tell me how she rested." Mr. Tripp consigned the bottle to his coat pocket, while Reuben, returned to the deserted kitchen, which already wore a masculine air, tilted the chair against the wall, and listened to the dirge of the frogs, or gave expression to his feelings by singing: "As on some lonely building's top The sparrow tells her-moan, Far from the tents of joy and hope I sit, and grieve alone." "A dreadful poor hand I should be to sit alone," commented he, as he shuffled about to fasten the windows. "Laviny is a master-woman for making things lively. Somehow I can't bear to lock her out," and it is a fact worthy of note that the faithful Reuben, for the first time in his married life, went to bed leaving the porch door unbolted. If he had cherished a vague hope that his wife might steal home in the early morning, he certainly saw no traces of her ruling presence on rising. Instead, the abomination of desolation reigned. "Seems's if I was just' a framework, with nothing inside," said the poor man, moving about the chaotic kitchen in a hushed manner, like a person at a funeral; "the pith is all knocked' out of me." But, notwithstanding this alarming internal condition, by dinf of burning three fingers he succeeded in making a lumpy hasty-pudding for breakfast, and also a cup of coffee, which, by reason of the large amount of fish-skin that settled it, bore an unpleasant resemblance to chowder. As he was sitting at this frugal repast, his sister Phebe flounced in. "Has Laviny left you, Reuben? It can't be." Mr. Hinkle nodded his head solemnly, his mouth being not available just then as an organ of speech. "The worst is her own," stormed Miss Phebe, raining a shower of hairpins from her chignon. "I guess we shouldn't die on her account! This-reflection seemed to convey no consolation to Mr. Hinkle. "You never felt right toward Laviny," said he, sorrowfully. "I don't lay this up agin her, her clearing out; I blame it on to Miss Niddlings. She always had a dreadful faculty for onsettling Laviny." Miss Phebe had a contemptuous nose, turned upward at the end like a sled runner. It curled higher yet at this remark. "I wish you had some of my spirit, Reuben Hinkle," said she, colling her back hair with a rapid, circular motion, as if she were winding herself up: "if you had, you wouldn't go nigh Laviny for one while. She's contrary, and, depend upon it, she'll be a great deal more apt to come back if you don't tease her. I'll keep house for you, so don't you be a mite concerned." Mr. Hinkle groaned in answer. As dough is without yeast, so was he without Laviny. "He needed her to keep him up," he said, pathetically; and, though tortures would not have wrung from her the 'confession; it was equally true that Laviny needed him to keep her down. Some leaven is-safest hidden in its three measures of meal. Certainly, in her husband's presence, Mrs. Hinkle had been a patient Griselda compared to what she was now, freed from home, restraints. She fretted and fumed in an explosive manner, raising an unwonted fermentation in the Tripp household. She hated his folks, she hated Rebuen for not hating them; she hated herself for having borne, their interference so long, and declared she had not had "the temper of a fly"—which, indeed, was quite true. But as the week wore on without bringing the coveted vision of her husband at her feet, the effervescence of her mood was fast subsiding, when the rumor that Miss Phebe was wielding her domestic scepter agitated it anew. Pretty work it was, to be crowded out of her own home by his folks! She knew now why Reuben had not come. They had been setting him against her. What if he should never come? For the first time this thought intruded itself, and in her anguish she sought relief in the camphor bottle. What right had Phebe in her kitchen, so-lacing Reuben with delectable cookery, when he should have been hungering in solitude after his wife? She declared such conduct would provoke a saint, though she did not give her authority for this conviction. One thing was sure, Phebe should not have the washing of her teaspoons, and, without delay, Mrs. Hinkle sent a juvenile Tripp to remove these and other personal valuables, choosing the dinner hour for the errand, that the scenic effect might be greater. When Mr. Hinkle was forced to stir his tea with a fork, perhaps he would be in more haste to conciliate his wife! The plan was well laid, but it failed in the execution through the tardiness of little Joe, who, having a wood-chuck to attend to on the way, did not reach his uncle's until the remains of the dinner lay cold on the pantry shelf, and Mr. Hinkle was half a mile away at his afternoon plowing. Miss Phebe sent the spoons obediently, inwardly resolved that Reuben should not know of this proof of "Laviny's ugliness," for she was well aware that only her own repeated assurances that Laviny would soften toward him if left to herself-had kept him passive thus far. "Seems 's if I wasn't doing the handsome thing not to go nigh-her," he often said. "I wonder whether or no she ain't counting on my fetching her?" "If she comes of her free will she'll be likely to stay put," Miss Phebe would answer; "but try to drive her, and you know what Laviny is." Mr. Hinkle did knub, unfortunately, and, knowing, schooled himself to patient waiting. Thus the days wore on, and he plodded through the spring work, cheered a little in spite of himself by Miss Phebe's earnest efforts at making him comfortable, while Laviny, mortified and then alarmed by his non-appearance, worried herself into a course of exasperating sick-headaches, and in every sense shut out the sunlight from the house of the Tripps. In the midst of paint-scrubbing Mrs. Tripp found no leisure to devote to her complaining sister, but left one of her children to wait upon her. Mrs. Hinkle felt abused. When had Reuben been too busy to hathe her aching temples? Little Joe made her nervous as a witch, and one day she told him so, and, a moment after, had the satisfaction of hearing him say to his mother in the kitchen that he "couldn't get along with Aunt Laviny now." Why, that was just what Reuben had said—Reuben, who never had spoken hastily to her in his life! Was she an uncomfortable person to live with? "Tain't In the power of mortal man to get along with you, Laviny." The words came back to her with the startling force of a proff-text, and haunted her afterward continually. It must have been in rubarb time, for dandelion greens had gone by, when one morning little Joe hushed in with the terrible tidings that "Uncle Reuben had fallen ker-chunk from a beam in the barn." Mrs. Hinkie tore the bandages from her head and started up. "Where's my bonnet, Susan? I'm going home!" "Maybe he isn't badly injured. Wait till we hear further," urged Mrs. Tripp. "I tell you I'm going home, Susan Tripp. Where's my bonnet?" and, snatching it by the string, Mrs. Hinkle sprang into the wagon just vacated by her nephew and drove away at a doctor's pace. Little Joe turned a series of somersaults, and then lay writhing on the grass in a fit of uncontrollable gigging. "Didn't Aunt Laviny streak it?" shouted he. "And Uncle Reuben wasn't hurt a mite, but she wouldn't let me tell her! Tee-hee-hee!" Yet though no bones, were broken by the fall, it is a fact that Mr. Hinkle found his two hundred pounds avoid-dupols considerably shaken, and he was actually, aboard to his wife's prediction, "camping down on the lunge in his boots," when, opening his eyes, they rested on her frightened face in the doorway. "Why, bless your heart! come right in, Laviny," said he. And she went in and shut the door. Five minutes afterward, as Miss Phebe lifted the latch, she heard her sister-in-law say: "I know I've hectored you awfully, Reuben, but I do mean to live peaceable now, and put up with your folks." And Reuben answered, heartily: "I haven't blamed you a bit, Laviny. I knew 'twas Miss Niddlings' work. But after we'd lived together so long, she might have let us be affil God divorced us."—Good Literature. GOOD ROADS Putting Them on Record. The Alabama, Good Roads Convention, in session at Montgomery, invited the candidates for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor to declare themselves with respect to the movement for improved, highways. The candidates appeared and all put themselves on record-in favor of the measure proposed for bringing about a better road system. The good roads advocates have done well in lining, up the candidates and getting an expression. Those who are elected will be committed to improvement, and there will not be much chance of a misunderstanding. The plan would be a good one to pursue in "the election of members of the Legislature. All legislators do not "stand hitched," after committing themselves, but some of them do, and it is well for the people who elect them to know their views on questions of public policy before they are elected. The people of Alabama recently adopted a constitutional amendment providing that the excess money from the hire of State convicts be expended on the roads. Legislation will be required to put the amendment into effect, and it is desired that a State Good Roads Commission shall be created. With all the candidates for State officers pledged to help along the movement the prospect of securing the needed legislation is greatly enhanced. It requires a lot of hard work to carry a good roads campaign to a successful finish, as we in Kentucky have reason to know. The Alabama people, however, seem to be going about it in the right way and with a determination that recognizes no change of failure.—Louisville Courier-Journal. Spirit of the Times. Colonel Sam Wilkes, of the Georgia Railroad, recently made an address on "Rapid Transit the Spirit of the Times." Reviewing the era of electricity, the coming of the automobile and the airship, Colonel Wilkes, concluding, said: "Every county should get the most improved road machinery and build good roads throughout its entire confines, so that the greatest possible saving of time and labor in transportation would obtain. On such roads, a farmer can haul twice the number of bales of cotton or twice as much hay, corn or any farm product. He can hook his team up and carry a small or large load to town and return home in half the time and frequently he would carry small amounts of his products on good roads that it would not pay to carry over poor roads. Development is coming rapidly, and the county that does not get into the push will be badly behind the times. "The age of advancement is now upon us. The earth, the set, the air are all conquered by the progress of the times. Rapid transit is the spirit of the times. Gentlemen, I hope you will get into the game." For Florida Good Roads. Governor A. W. Gilchrist availed himself of a meeting of the Florida Press Association to further the work for good roads in the State. He cited returns from circular inquiries to the Circuit Court clerks of all the counties to show that there are now in the State 2120 miles of hard roads, 624 miles of graded roads and 300 miles of strawed roads, with a number of counties not reporting many miles of natural hard clayed roads, while four counties have recently voted an aggregate of $1,500,000 to be spent upon the improvement of their highways. He seemed to favor the attainment of a system of roads traversing the State, not through general taxation, as being unfair to counties that have already spent much in road-building, but by prolonging and unfitting county roads under county auspices. Street Signs in Concrete Cards. The suggestion has been made that now, that concrete curbs are coming into such general use on city streets it might be a good plan to put the names of the streets in the top of the curbs. The letters should be sunk into the concrete just at the side of the crosswalk, and should be two or three inches in size. The expense would be infinitesimal, the sign would not be subject to breakage or removal by other means; and the public would have really ideal street signs. It has been suggested that the school boys of country districts be banded together to form junior good roads-leagues. The originators of the idea point out that many country roads are patrolled daily by boys old enough to do much for the cause by removing stones from the roadway, keeping ditches and sluices open, draining, off storm, water, filling ruts and holes and notifying the proper authorities of matters requiring their attention. Pushing the Campaign. The Jefferson County (Ala.)' Good 'Roads Association' is pushing its campaign for a million-dollar bond issue for improved highways in the county. THE DIFFERENCE. In Chicago, where the wheat pours in. The people ask: "Where have you bin?" In Franklin's city, Phila., Pen. They ask of you: "Where have you bean?"

Palo Alto, Cal.—In President David Starr Jordan's address to the graduating class at Stauford University, the subject of which was "The Wealth of Nations," reference was made to the lives of E. H. Harriman and other great financiers in drawing the lesson that man's success in life is not measured by what he does for himself, but rather by what he does for humanity. "In those matters in which the permanent wealth of nations is concerned, in the long future of mental and spiritual development, the name of Harriman," said Dr. Jordan, "finds no place. The name of Newcomb in the same connection will stand in larger letters among those who by life and influence have made this world a broader and a better one." Continuing, he said: "The name of Rockefeller will not suggest Standard Oil of the association of monopolies. The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research represents one of the wisest and most far-reaching uses to which any man's money can ever be put." King Edward's Chef Has His Cares. M. Menager, King Edward's chief chef in Buckingham Palace, is content with a salary that some of the kings of the kitchens in the big New York hotels would scorn to consider, a paltry $10,000 a year being all the place pays him; but there is a distinction attached to the post, as well as many practical advantages, that make it eminently desirable. Menager is himself almost a royal personage in the power and dignity he enjoys. He does not live in Buckingham Palace, but is furnished with a handsome private residence near by, and, unless some special state banquet is on hand, he rarely goes to his duties until 10:30 or 11 a.m. His first caro is to inspect the lunch menu for that day, which has been prepared in advance by his first assistant, and that matter being settled satisfactorily, he turns to a similar study of next morning's breakfast. The really big work of the day comes in planning the dinner for the succeeding day, for the dinner card for the royal table always is mapped out twenty-four hours in advance, and here is a task that demands two or three hours' devoted work. There is a special kitchen in the palace reserved solely for Menager's use, and here, when the creative spell is on him he spends hours working on the details of new dishes and sauces.

FEED CHILDREN If parents will give just a little intelligent thought to the feeding of their children the difference in the health of the little folks will pay, many times over, for the small trouble. A mother writes saying: "Our children are all so much better and stronger than they ever were before we made a change in the character of the food. We have quit using potatoes three times a day with coffee and so much meat. "Now we give the little folks some fruit, either fresh, stewed, or canned, some Grape-Nuts with cream, occasionally some soft boiled eggs, and some Postum for breakfast and supper. Then for dinner they have some meat and vegetables. "It would be hard to realize the change in the children, they have grown so sturdy and strong, and we attribute this change to the food elements that, I understand, exist in Grape-Nuts and Postum. "A short time ago my baby was teething and had a great deal of stomach and bowel trouble. Nothing seemed to agree with him until I tried Grape-Nuts softened and mixed with rich milk and he improved rapidly and got sturdy and well." Read "The Road to Wellville," found in pkgs.

DEVEAUX Died June 9; 1909 A few weeks ago a few citizens of Augusta proposed to make up a deficit in Mr. Taft's traveling expenses denied at that time by Congress. The offer was of course rejected by Mr. Taft with thanks. During the week Mr. Taft complimented the city by appointing a radical Democrat as its postmaster, in the face of the fact that a loyal Republican was an applicant for reappointment. This is not an effective manner to gain recruits for the party. THE TRIBUNE welcomes to the city the large gathering of Baptists of the State that will convene here next week at the First Bryan Baptist Church. We had endeavored to devote much space of this issue to this meeting, but were prevented from doing so on account of those having the management in charge. We also were unable to even get the program. At any rate we wish the meeting to be a great success in every way for good. A Tribute. Fully a year ago the soul of John H. Deveaux passed from this world to return to its Maker. He had been ailing for some time, and although at times it seemed as though he had gained a new lease on life, such is the uncertainty of human life that he was called away somewhat sudden to that distant land whence no traveller returns. The writer enjoyed the privilege of the "Colonel's" friendship, the title by which he was best known, and by which his friends affectionately addressed him; he had hoped that some of the hundreds of young men whom he had "landed" into good positions would have coveted the honour of writing some sort of tribute to his memory in the columns of THE TRIBUNZ, perhaps they will yet. In this simple sketch it is not my purpose to make it appear that the Colonel was infallible; he had his faults, all of us have ours, but he possessed virtues which the young men and young women of today would do well to emulate. Politeness and courtesy were inherent parts of his nature so that he could be fittingly and justly termed a "gentleman of the old school." Fidelity to duty was another virtue in which he excelled; whether he was distributing funds in Brunswick during the yellow fever epidemic or attending to his duties as collector of the port of Savannah all was done with unswerving fidelity. In his efforts to obtain the appointment as Collector of Customs in Savannah, with a body of some of the most powerful members of the dominant race arrayed against him they admitted that they could find no fault with his character; it was his color to which they objected, as though he were responsible for the color of his skin. For years a military man he knew what it meant to be subject to discipline, and for those in authority he had the greatest reverence and respect. What do the youth of today care about discipline and authority? Though a younger man by far, than the Colonel, I could speak to him about some things and chide him, all of which he took good naturedly never once did he get offended and revile me. Many a man in the government service today owes his appointment to his influence, and many of us know how untiringly he labored, even going to Washington, to help those who had lost their positions to regain them, or to help those who were about to be dismissed. I shall mention two incidents illustrative of his kindly disposition and his willingness to be of service to his fellows, and I am done: I happened to be on the same train with him and Albert Ashton when the latter first started out to recruit his strength in the Rev. DANIEL WRIGHT For the first time since the pastorate of Rev. U. L. Houston, a State Convention will be entertained at this historic Church. It was through the efforts of Rev. Wright that the Convention will come here. The members and the friends are holding him up and will see that all of the delegates are well cared for. pines of his native State. I remember as though it were yesterday, that when Ashton's station was called that the Colonel jumped to his feet, took Ashton's grip and assisted him tenderly off the train. be forgotten soon. The bidder on sinner's soul and the highest price of is paid and the bidder on the christian soul were explained so carefully none ought make a mistake in choosethe right. Rev. Wright certainly m us all feel happy with his encourage words. We truly invite you to our vices at any time. The other incident was the collision of a white and colored bicyclists at the corner of Bull and Broughton. Knowing too well that poor "Cuffey" usually gets the "worst of it" he said "let's burry on as I may be of some service to this poor fellow." I hold up his virtues as worthy of emulation, and it affords me pleasure in sending to the organ, THE TRIBUNE, which owes its origin to him, this simple tribute to his memory. Bacial Progress Shown. The mass meeting under the auspices of The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company, held on Wednesday night at the Masonic Temple, was largely attended by a very representative audience. The interest of all was elicited from the initial number on the program to the final one. Mr. Geo. S. Williams, as chairman of the committee on arrangements, very acceptably presided. The program as printed last week was fully carried out with but one exception. Each number was a feature, especially that of Mr. Jake Wright, with his logic, wit and English. What the Wage Earners has accomplished and is destined to do were fully put forward by each speaker, and the audience was fully impressed. The Wage Earners is the pioneer organization in the State and the most successful one. The amount of good that it has done in this community is untold. The great business inspiration and that of securing homes were germinated largely by this company. This meeting was the best ever held, and the results will undoubtedly be salutatory. F B B Church. A large crowd accompanied Rev. Wright, to Nicholsonboro early Sunday morning to attend services. As the tide suited for baptism, we went immediately to the river where Rev. Wright baptized four men. On returning a hot lunch was served at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Grayson. The prer service was led by Deacon Merchison. Rev. Wright read for the lesson. I Psalm. His text was from Luke 16: 28, and the subject was "Don't Come." The sermon was one that shall long be remembered, so forcibly did he paint the lesson of the rich man pleading with Abraham to let Lazarus go back to the earth and warn his five brothers not to come where he was as he was lost. The choir sang, "I am on my Way." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Let sinner take their course," and he also invited those who felt the need of prayer to the mercy seat and a large crowd bowed. Prayer was offered. The communion service was largely attended. Dinner was served at the residences of Mr. and Mrs. Grayson, Dea, and Mrs Brown, and Mr and Mrs Houston. At night, Rev. Wright led for the lesson. John 14: 1: 22. His text was from I Kings 10: 7; and the sermon was excellent and well filled with beautiful thoughts that will surely help the Christians in their daily life. Solomon's wisdom and riches was preached so clearly that all understood, then the choir singing "Far Away." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Am I a Soldier" and invited sinner, very touchingly, to the mercy seat, and a large crowd bowed and prayer was then offered. We only wish that every christain and sinner could have attended our prayer meeting on Tuesday night, for it was particularly revising. Rev. Wright's closing remarks were very pointed and shall not be forgotten soon. The bidder on the sinner's soul and the highest price that is paid and the bidder on the christain's soul were explained so carefully that none ought make a mistake in choosing the right. Rev. Wright certainly made us all feel happy with his encourageling words. We truly invite you to our services at any time. Second Baptist Church. Services here during the past week have been admirable.

Died June 8, 1909, Peaceful be thy silent slumber Peaceful in thy grave so low, Thou no more will join our number Thou no more our sorrows know, Yet again we hope to meet thee When the day of life is fled, And in heaven with joy to greet thee Where no farewell tears are shed. Tis hard to break the tender cord Where love has bound the heart, Tis hard, so hard to speak the words "We must forever part." Dearest loved one we have laid thee In the peaceful grave's embrace But my memory will be cherished, Till we see thy heavenly face, Loving sister and niece, Mrs. I. M. Whitfield and Alice Hurd. In memory of my daughter, · MARIE J. DAVIS MARIE F. DAVIS who was born in Savannah, Ga., and who died in New York city on June 12, 1909 in her seventeenth year. Bitter constraint and sad occasion dear, Compels me to disturb this season due. For my Marie is dead, dead ere her prime. Young Marie, and hath not left her peer. My life was one joyful revere. So sweet, so true, so pure was she. From morn till the star that rose at evening bright. My days with her were sweet dream's blithe. But oh the heavy change, now she hath gone. Now she hath gone, and never must return. But Marie is not dead. Buried though she be beneath the sodden floor. So buried is the day star 'in the ocean bed.' And yet anon repairs his drooping head Thus, Marie was buried low, but mounted high. Through the dear might of Him that lives beyond the sky. Her mother. In memory of MARIE F. DAVIS who departed this life June 12, 1909. It has been one year since the Almighty God thought it not robbery to take from our midst my devoted niece, and the angels said 'unto her gird thyself and bind on thy sandals and she did and 'ha sayeth unto her, cast thy garments upon thee and follow me. She is not dead but sleepeth in Jesus.

Few if any meetings of the club have been more interesting than the one of last Sunday when the club was honored by the presence of Miss Helen B. Pendleton, Secretary of the Associated Charities of Savannah, Mrs. Geo. J. Balwin, President of the Huntingdon Club and a prominent member of the Associated Charaties and several other ladies of prominence. The club was addressed at length by Miss Pendleton, who in a forceful and lucid way told of the work of the Associated Charities in this and other cities. She urged co-operation on the part of the colored people and expressed the hope that their presence at the club was the beginning of a friendship that would be lasting and that would result in much good in alleviating suffering among both the white and colored people of the city. Each word from the speaker had the ring of sincerity to it that carried it to the heart and mind of each individual present. Mrs. Baldwin, who followed Miss Pendleton, emphasised her continued friendship for our people by her timely suggestions and words of advice. Moved to immediate action by the earnest and sincere words of the speakers, the audience gave them a raising vote of thanks for their presence and proffer of cooperation in the great work of the uplifting of our unfortunate ones. The Club is hoping to do its part in this good work. The local numbers on the programme were exceptionally good. The recitation by Miss Gertrude Wallace and the paper on nurse training by Miss Newsome were good and elicited much favorable comments. Miss Lillian Dewey acquitted herself as usual in her excellent way at the piano. The flute solo by Mr. Hankerson and the violin solo by Mr. James Thomas were much enjoyed as well as the beautiful vocal solo by Miss May Stawart. To-morrow the club will be addressed by Dr. Farmer, pastor of the C. M. E. Church. It is expected that his choir will be present to render some beautiful selections. The special numbers will be a vocal solo by Miss Agnes Proctor and a cornet solo by Mr. Hart. The public is cordially invited. Happily Wedded. On Wednesday evening the home of Mrs. Catherine E.

Van Genhep his ‘recently, devoted a book to this subject, “La Forma- tion des Légendes” (Flammazion), but neither he nor dny “man has Hsolved the mystery, while Ido not pretend to-be thé Oedipus df "this rid- dle of the Sphinx. How do storles grow, and “how are they diffused, and how are they modified? I have been told, in a smoking room, a ‘very ter- rible tale about a respected family in Blankshbire; a tale which the narrator thoroughly belleved in as a contem- ‘porary anecdote*of- private life. I sald, “That ts the plot of Horace Wal- .pole’s play, ‘The Mysterious Mother;* ‘and Walpole got it from Howell's Let- ters, written in the time of Charles 1., and Howell got it from’—but here the other nian, dreading the lecture to which he was obviously doomed (for I was getting into Comparetti’s essay on Oedipus), safd, ‘I don't care; ‘these things keep on happening in familles. History repeats itself.’ But he begged the question; myth, not history, repeats itself. In another case the story was'about a contemporary young lady, and I was again so pedantic as to observe that the anecdote was told by Gram- mont about Ia belle Stuart, who ‘was so cruel to Charles I. It may or may not have been true about a lady as remarkable for her simplicity as for her beauty, but in the new case the yarn was certainly false. In early boyhood I was told a very comic story about a leading drunkard dn a country place, but later I found ft, word for word, in the French of Beroalde de Verville, who was face- tious in‘the sixteenth century. In- deed, I know but ‘one tale: of this kind which fs dated; ft could not have been told before the Apocrypha ‘Was cut out of the Bible by the Purl- tans, and was due to a Cavalier it. . ‘There are learned legends, too, be- lieved “1a by tho wise, suck as the story thf, im remote times, kings were regularly put to death at a given. period, annually, triennially, or with, a run of nino years, and so on. “We are actually told that the King of ‘Cnossos In Crete, when the ton was as civilized as Brixton, was butchered in a cave every nine years. The cave Dds been’ dug ‘out and the soil has Been’ sifted, but neither royal nor eny human bones have been found, only bones of oxen, goats and deer. That oes not prove much either way, but there is absolutely no reason for the belief, which rests on a statement of Homer, to the effect that the mythical King: Mimno3 reigned—and then fol- lows an adjective which nobody can translate, but which is taken, by friends ‘of the legend, to mean “by periods of nine years,” or “for nine years.” About the cave not a word is said. Another. example of implicit belief wad the remark made by 2 scientific character that the King of ‘Tyre, in Ezekiel’s time, was burned annually. For proof he cited Eze- Kel, 28:14, “Thou hast walked up and down in the mldst of the stones of fire.” This hardly proved the case, ag the hing seems to have been none the wore. But “the stones of fire” are merely*the precious stones “in Eden, the garden of God,” sard, to- paz, beryl, diamond; there are ten of them, mentioned in the previous verse, and in verse sevonteen the King, for his misdeeds, {s to be ejected from his_earthly paradisé of ‘prosperity. In’ fiict, as evidence for “thiS learned legend, I know but one case in which 4 barbaric king had to immolate himself at,the end of twelve years, and ag he was a subject king, With a suzerain over him (so the old Portuguese traveler says who télls the tale): one may suspect that yea- sons of state caused this violeat form of superannuation. No independent prince would have stood it. <2 ‘M. Van Génnep thinks that all or most of our romantic storfes, such as Faust, Reynard the Fox, the. tables, from Aesop downward, thé Jataka or faples of the Buddha, Cinderella, Polyphemus the ons-eyed, are uncon- scious thefts from the folktales of the world in general, The process was this, he supposes: the tales, say. Cinderella, were originally current storfes by no one in particular, told from ‘mouth to mouth. Then they and ‘Eurydice,” “Jason ‘and Medea” and All the rest of-them are literally expurgated versions of old tales, found in every quarter of tlie’ wotld> they did. not, reach the Samoans, the Zulus, the Maoris, the Red Indians, the Huarochiri of Central America in the sixteenth century, through pub- Used Uterary versions of Huropean fairy tales or through European poets treating sabjects from Greek myth~ ology. ‘The natives of New Guinea have a-tale.in which a heroic boy mal- treats the other bays, who say, “you, nvould be better employed in aveng- ing the murders of your father and tWo uncles,” 4 thing of which he has never heard. That incident is com- mon in European folk tales, but the: people of New Guinea did not borrow it from our printed ballads, any more than all peoples jtave borrowed their innumerable tales of the Origin of Death from missionaries. I have never seen any missionary influence In the tales of Australian black fel- lows“collected and translated by mis- sionarles such as Mr. Siebert and Mr. Strehlow. Qn the other hand, there are cases In which medteval minstrels wrote, knightly romances on subjects found in folk tales. : 3f, Van Gennep says that in the opinion of mast erittes tha. non-moral tale (he ‘writes “amoral”) ig older than the tale witha moral, But this {dea, ho, says, {s wrong; great intel-. Tectual development is necessary fe the composer of a non-moral wnprac= tieal stbry. “Savages are of all men the most profoundly moral,” by; which. he seems to mean that In all things they “drive at practice.” Certainly ‘the fables of animals have morals, as a rule, and all the stories in which. courtesy and kindness are rewarded; these exist in endless numbers, in savage apd civilized countries, Jf dodginess is moral, it fs also recom- mended in “Bror Rabbit,” and the “Odessey,” “The Shitty, Lad," and “Jack the Giant Killer.” and so on. How many tales tufn om the punish- ment of Impertinent curiosity? Then come the story merely intended to amuse, bat even In this you can. find a moral, as well as “in the bosom of the rose,” with {ts lesson: “Gather ye roses while ye may.” . MM. Van Gennep, however, thinks, if I follow him, that in current opinion the conte—the romantic folk tale— comes first. The scene is not local- ized, the date fs “once ‘upon 2 time,” and the persons are not named, .all this coming first im a long pedigree. Then names are given, places are as~ signed, the story {s offered as history. ‘This 1 what is called “legend;”” wo. often call it “saga,’" as the Germans. do. Finally comes myth. The scene fs opt of human place and time and the actors are divine. | I do not think that many myths of gods and goddesses are exalted contes orpopulir tales. ‘The process is rath- er this: First, the popular tale; as of the young adventurer, alded by a wise old woman or some such anonymous person or animal, who knows 5 great deat. Then the youth is put by an elephant, or a giant, or a god; or a” king on some dangerous -adyentures. ‘The hostile being who insists om tha lad’s undertaking the sdventures his a daughter or wife, usually a ddugh- ter, who helps the adventurer te suc- ced, and he runs away with her, or wins her hand and, baif the kingdom. ‘It would be impossible to enumerate the wild, remote regions where that tale is found, without names of places or persons. In Greece it 1s Ja~ son, Medez and the Golden Fleece, or ‘Theseus, Minos, Ariadne and the Min~ otaur. In another version the strength of the hostile being who in- sists on the adventuresJies In a stone or other object, carefully concealed, or in a golden or purple lock or his hair. The doughter betrays the. se- cret of tha adventurer. Thus, «while Minos is the hostile king, Theseus the adventurer and Ariadne the daughter who helps him, in another story Mi- nos js the adventurer, Nisus {s the hostile king, and the girl who loves the adventurer fs Scylla, daughter of Nisus, who betrays to the lover, Mi- nos, that her father's strength Hes in his golden lock of hatr, which she cuts off, like Dalila, What has hap- pened {s that in prehistoric Greece a Serinachie, so to speak, a clan. min- strel, has taken a popular tale and given to it a local habitation—Crete, Megara, Tolcos, Athens —and given heroic names to the characters.

A stable blanket that has been in use all winter is usually, badly soiled and heavy, as well as disagreeable from a sanitary standpoint. To wash the blanket is no small task, but by wise means it may be cleansed with little trouble and labor. Simply spread the soiled and saturated blanket on sod during a heavy spring rain, and if one rain does not cleanse, put it out during another. As soon as the rain ceases and the blanket can be raised, hang it up, dry it and take it in.—Weekly Witness. Liming Land. Which is better to use on land, caustic lime or ground limestone? The former is much quicker in action, and if put on in excess may "eat up" much of the humus. But in quantities of two to four tons per acre it is considered safe. The ground limestone is much cheaper, but is slower in its action. The coarser grains will gradually yield lime for several years. It is perfectly safe and should be used as freely as four tons per acre. If one does not feel able to put on so much try two tons. The whole question of liming land is not well understood. On some land crops, especially legumes, respond wonderfully to its use, while on other land its effect is not noticeable and both tracts may lie close together. It is a good plan to lime one acre or ten acres, leaving wide strips without it. On land needing it badly it will pay to lime heavily. Sometimes alfalfa will grow into a wilderness of luxuriance on limed soil. Lime is best applied on plowed land and harrowed in. f Advantages of Solling. In his recent address on the advantages of soiling in the dairy business, Mason Knox said to the farmers' club: Land has increased in value, labor is higher and more remunerative returns are necessary to the dairy farmer. To-day we must bring the luxuriant grasses to our animals the whole year. In the winter we use silage and root crops. In the summer we must soil our animals. We have an intense interest in our business, and who keep the lazy cattle, the blacks and whites, must fetch the food to them. We keep these animals to produce milk, not to wander for food. And the Holstein-Friesian is not a good forager. When you put the food before her as you should, she will consume it and give you a large net profit. The importance of soiling then too depends upon the breed of animals you keep. It is not so important to the Ayrshire to practice soiling as it is to the Holstein-Friesian man. They can be kept on the moss of rocky pastures and do well, so they say. However, I would not advocate any such treatment of any dairy animal. The Ayrshire is a wonderfully good little forager and for pasture farming has no equal; but to dairy farmers of this generation who have the land that they can devote to raising rotating crops such animals have no place in our intensified business. Alfalfa Seed. Alfalfa seed is a difficult thing to buy and make no mistake. 1. It must not come from a warmer climate. 2. It must be fresh to be best. 3. It should contain very few small or shrunken seeds. 4. It must be free from weed seed. You will have to look sharp if you catch the dodder seed in it. These seeds are so small they suggest tobacco seed. Some farmers are so careful to secure good seed that they write weeks before needed to a dozen firms for samples and sprout a hundred seeds to study vitality. If eighty-five or ninety of these 100 grow strong they have fair seed. To watch for weeds one should spread it on white paper and examine with a glass. On thin soils alfalfa should be preceded by a crop of cowpeas or clover. And if the ground is acid it, will almost insure a crop to sow two to four tons of lime per acre. In southern counties below the drift alfalfa needs fertilizing. But there are many successful fields south of the drift. Break in the spring when damp enough to plow mellow. Plow deep. Harrow often enough to keep down weeds till the last of June, then sow twenty pounds per acre. It should be covered with a harrow. There is no use to waste seed and work on ground not prepared for it. It requires intelligent effort to grow alfalfa.—Indiana Farmer. Cow Stanchions or Chains. We are often asked to give our idea as to the best method of fastening cows in their stalls—whether stanchions are more satisfactory than chains. This is largely a matter of taste, although stanchions have advantages over chain fastenings. Perhaps the stanchions are a little more noisy, but they give perfect freedom to the cows, either while feeding or lying down, and are by no means the cruel appliances some narrow-minded people are inclined to consider them. We even believe that cow chains give the cows a little too much freedom. We have seen cows tied with chains almost turn completely around in their stalls. We have known of other instances where they have choked themselves to death when fastened in this manner. The stanchion prohibits both of these troubles. There are some stanchions made so that every cow may be fastened or loosened at once by throwing a single lever. This is a time-saving invention which the dairy farmer appreciates. Every minute must be made to count on the dairy farm, so that labor-saving devices of this sort are also money savers as well as a protection for the cattle themselves. We know of an instance where an attendant had an eye put out by a cow throwing her head when he was about to put the chain about her neck. The cow stanchion does away with this danger. All things considered, we believe that the stanchions are far superior to the chain ties and every practical dairy man is quick to realize the advantages of this modern convenience for the dairy farm.—Weekly Witness. Improving the Pig Crop. Many farmers have started out this spring with the intention of doing better by their coming crop of pigs than they have in the past. By doing better, I mean giving closer attention to the feed problem, and the care problem, so that the pigs, when mature, will have made a favorable growth at a low cost, and at the same time have developed strong frames, especially in the case of those pigs which are intended to be kept for breeding purposes. It will be well for every man who desires to bring his pigs through the season in good form and condition to supply some of those foods which are known to have a favorable influence on the development of the framework of the pig. It is needless to say that corn alone will not serve the purpose. While it is true that corn in conjunction with good pasture makes a diet for the growing pigs which can hardly be improved on, it often happens that the pasture contains little to attract the pigs. In that case they are sure to lie around the yards and stuff themselves with grain in preference to seeking the grass and the exercise which they so greatly need in conjunction, which is so essential to the health and thrift of the animal. The best bone-building foods are those rich in protein and mineral matter. Skim milk, perhaps, stands at the head of the list, and it will pay to lay in some tankage, shortage, and possibly some bone meal, as well as pure mineral matter. It cannot be expected, however, that the feeding of feeds-bearing large amounts of mineral matter, such as have been mentioned, will change the conformation of any part of the skeleton, or, for example, make a pig stand straight, if he is otherwise. The improvement will have to be made through selection, using no male or female that is faulty. It might, too, be urged that if careful selection were practiced, it would be unnecessary to consider the diet, since strong boned breeding stock would naturally impress these good points on their progeny. On the contrary, it might be said that men have been trying for years to breed poor hogs out of their herds without giving attention to a balanced food ration problem, and they are practically where they started. We generally find that when men feed little or no grain and not care to hasten the growth of their pigs, the quality of the bone is generally very satisfactory. But there is a good deal of time required in growing pigs in this manner, and while time is nothing to the hog, it is to the owner, and when he proposes to force growth, he should plan to force it evenly; that is, that the pig is not made fat at the expense of his growth and health.

"For sixteen long years I have been suffering with a bad case of skin disease. While a child there broke out a red sore on the legs just in back of my knees. It waxed from bad to worse, and at last I saw I had a bad skin disease. I tried many widely known doctors in different cities, but to no satisfactory result. The plague bothered me more in warm weather than in winter, and being on my leg joints it made it impossible for me to walk, and I was forced to stay indoors in the warmest weather. My hopes of recovery were by this time spent. Sleepless nights and restless days made life an unbearable burden. At last I was advised to try the Cuticura Remedies [Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills], and I did not need more than a trial to convince me that I was on the road of success this time. I bought two sets of the Cuticura Remedies and after these were gone I was a different man entirely. I am now the happiest man that there is at least one true cure for skin diseases. Leonard A.

I have only a small greenhouse, with a pipe from the kitchen boiler, and the frost usually kills them. I find the plants good for hay fever or similar nasal trouble. In the Botanical Gardens in the Bronx they have a fine specimen of the Eucalyptus Globulus, which is the one I grow, but, of course, they are better able to take care of it than I am.

Wasteful to Burn Grass. The wastefulness of burning grass is perhaps not generally realized. By the burning of dead grass we remove the material which is to furnish humus and bacteria essential for plant growth. Resulting from this burning we have temporarily a small amount of ash, which stimulates a quick and unhealthy growth of grass, but the soluble parts of the ash are rapidly washed away by rains, so that we have not only a great loss from destruction of humus and bacteria but also a loss of part of the small valuable residue. Land subjected to grass fire must therefore quickly "run out" unless manure is added subsequently to take the place of the burned grass, and this is not commonly done. Robert T. 3.

The only change'is,that the problem-of conserving democracy, has Decome greater.” Ree ba The proposed change in the system of government may be a matter of years. Its authors disclaim. any con- nection of the Ballinger scandal with it, “The change, if it is-ever made, will probably come long after Mr. Bal- linger- has retired.
