Jeffries-Johnson Battle Will Not Take Place in California. NEVADA LAW ALLOWS FIGHTING Promoters of the Fight Will Not the Matter to Courts—Fight Will Probably Be Held in Some Nevada City. San Franciisco, Cal.-Stirred to action by insistent protests from all parts of the state, Governor James N. Gillett took steps to prevent the championship fight between James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson, scheduled to be held in this city July 4th. In a letter to Attorney General U. S. Webb, the governor expresses his disapproval of prize fighting in unmeasured terms and directs that the aid of the courts be invoked to prevent the match and concludes with a positive order that in case the plea for a restraining order is not granted and the fight is held, the attorney general proceed to gather evidence and prosecute the principals and all those interested in the fight for violation of the penal code of the state Reno, Nev.-Reno bld for the Jeffries-Johnson fight, when A. J. Allsworthy, a theatrical manager and representing local business, men, telegraphed to Tex Rickard that this city would erect a sittable arena for the fight. The Nevada law is clear and precise that it permits fight sights when a license of one thousand dollars is paid by the promoters and it is not probable that any adverse motion will be enacted because it is decided to bring the Jeffries-Johnson fight here. Governor Dickerson, at present, is out of the state. Mr. Allsworthy notified Rickard that this city would furnish the $1,000 license required by the state law. Carson City, Nev.—That the law of Nevada would permit the Jeffries-Johnson fight in this state, was the statement made by Justice Sweney of the supreme court, when the question was put to him in the absence of Governor Dickerson. With only the formality of obtaining a license, for which $1,000 must be deposited, he said the fight could be held in any county in the state without fear of interference. GROCERY TRUST SUED. Southern Grocers' Association Will Be Investigated by Government. Birmingham, Ala.—A petition for an injunction against the Southern Wholesale Grocers' Association was filed here by Assistant District Attorney J. H. Montgomery, pursuant to instructions from the department of justice in Washington. The petition charges that the Southern Wholesale Grocers' Association is an illegitimate combination in restraint of trade, and the government prays that the association be dissolved and permanently enjoined from carrying out its practices in the United States. The persons made defendants in the suits and for whom Judge William L. Grubb ordered that subpoenaes be at once issued, returnable the first Monday in August. The Southern Wholesale Grocers' Association, James N. M. McLaurin, president, Jacksonville, Fla.; the McLester-Van Hoose Hoose Grocery Company, a corporation at Birmingham, James A. Van Hoose, Robert McLester; the Alabama Grocery Company and S. W. Lee, all of Birmingham; James H. McLaurin, Jacksonville, Fla.; L. M. Hooper, Selma, Ala.; F. E. Hashagin, Wilmington, N. C.; C' W. Bartleson, Jacksonville, Fla.; F. C. Davis, Fort Smith, KS.; B. E. Jarrawsh, Fort Smith, Ark.; C. C. Blount, G. T. H. Scovell, Shreewport, La.; W. T. Reeves, Tuelope, M. R. A. Morrow, Monroe, N. C.; J. D. Fauntcee, Bristol, Teenn; W. A. Scott, Mount Tazewell, Va. Washington, D. C.—Another action under the Sherman anti-trust law was started by the department of justice when Oliver D. Street, United States attorney for the northern district of Alabama, was instructed to file at Birmingham a petition against the Southern Wholesale Grocers' Association, its officers and members, alleging that the association constitutes a combination and conspiracy in restraint of trade and asking that it be resolved. The suit, it was said at the department, is one of the results of the investigations which the government for some time past has been making with reference to, combinations that seek to eliminate competition, maintain a high scale of profit and increase the cost of living. LABOR ROASTS SENATE Georgia Organized Labor Delegates Condemn U. S. Senate. Condemnn U. S. Senate, Savannah, Ga.-Organized labor of Georgia took a decided stand in con- demning the action of the committee of the United States senate, in the striking from the civil sundries bill the provision, which eliminates organiz- ed labor from prosecution under the ant-trust legislation. The action of Secretary Puckett, in taking with the Georgia delegation in congress without waiting for the action of the Georgia Labor Federation, was indorsed. The federation plans a campaign with organized labor to fight to have this clause put back and passed; Savannah New York City—Charles K. Hamilton arose from Governor's Island in an airplane and sped without a break 83 miles to Philadelphia in a remarkable cross-country flight under the auspices of the New York Times and the Philadelphia Public Ledger. He made the trip in one hour and fifty-one minutes, leaving Governor's Island at 7:35 and landing at Philadelphia at 9:26. Alighting at Aviation Field, he delivered letters from Governor Hughes and Mayor Gaynor to Governor Stuart and Mayor Reyburn, accepted messages of congratulations from them to bear in return and started for New York again with only brief intermission for food, fuel and oil. He had flown approximately seventy miles of his return journey when a sluggish motor drove him to descend in a swamp near South Amboy, N. J. The propeller was broken there in landing, but after repairs had been made Hamilton resumed his flight and landed at Governor's island. Thus the return trip was made in one hour and thirty-six minutes, at an estimated average speed of 54.96 miles an hour, which breaks the record made in the Curtiss flight from Albany to New York. Carrying, as he did, letters between the two cities, Hamilton created the first fast mail by the overland route to Philadelphia and return, and demonstrated that an aeroplane can deliver mail from one city to another with the punctuality of government service. During the whole of the first lap he never varied more than two minutes from his time card and came down on the handkerchief laid to mark his landing spot, with the precision of a homing pigeon settling on its perch. Indianapolis, Ind. — Soaring to a height of 4,334 1-2 feet, Walter Brookins, in a Wright biplane, broke the world's record for altitude in the national aviation meet at the Indianapolis Speedway. Brookins' achievement followed exhibition flights by several of the pupils of Orville and Wilbur Wright. Brookins' high-flight, in which he took the record from Louis Paulhan, who, at Los Angeles, rose to 4,165 feet, was also a sensational speed triumph. Brookins rose steadily at a speed estimated at 60 miles an hour. Tairtary minutes after he had started he reached his highest altitude and began the descent, maneuvering in a height of 100 feet he shut off his motor and glided easily to the ground alongside the starting rail. GREAT FRAUD DISCOVERED. United Wireless Officials Allied to Have Cleaned Up Vast Fortunes. New York City—United States postoffice inspectors raided the handsome Broadway offices of the United Wireless Telegraph Company and caused the arrest of Christopher C. Wilson, president of the company, Samuel S. Bogart, first vice president, and Wm. W. Tompkins, president of the New York Selling Agency. It is charged that the price of the company's shares has been advanced by manipulations to fictitious values and that individual officers of the company have sold out their stock to the general public at a profit estimated at ten million dollars. Invalid 28 Years. Recovers. Atlanta, Ga.—The sudden, unexpected recovery of her health after having spent twenty-eight years in bed, the last eight years of which she was an inmate of the Home for Incurables, is the unique and mystifying experience of Miss Hattie Clark. All physicians who know anything about Miss Clark's health are puzzled by the real nature of the disease. Twenty-eight years ago she went to bed. Now, as if by a miracle, she is in possession of health once more, and, according to physicians, will soen be strong again. Newsv Paragraphs. In New York the report was published that a $100,000,000 corporation was being formed to combine some sixteen companies engaged in making bathtubs and to be known as the "bathtub trust." Jobbers already have signed contracts, as the companies control 95 per cent of all bathroom fixtures. The $500,000 offered to Princeton university by William C. Proctor or Nichinnai some time back, but which was rejected at the time because of certain conditions affecting the policy of President Wilson, has now been accepted by the trustees, with the approval of Wilson himself. The recent bequest of the Wyman estate had removed the bone of contention. To get the Proctor money, the alumni must raise an equal amount. About $100,000,000 worth of diamonds are smuggled into the United States annually, according to a statement issued by the Importers' Protective union, which has just offered to pay rewards of $2,500 and up for information leading to the arrest of offenders. Robert Hunter, the noted author of "Poverty," who married into the wealthy Stokes' family of Norton, Conn., has accepted the socialist nomination for governor in Connecticut and says he will conduct an aggressive campaign, with speakers of national requituation. Stimulated by his party's success in Milwaukee, Hunter says: "It is notna far cry from a city to a state, and the success in Milwaukee will be duplicated in many states within the next few years. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1910. COTTON PRODUCTION IN YEAR 1909 COTTON PRODUCTION IN YEAR 1909 Government Census Bureau States That the Crop Was the Most Valuable Ever Produced. Washington, D. C. Although the cotton crop of the United States in 1909 was the smallest produced since 1903, its value was 19.2 per cent more than that of 1908 and, measured by its yarn-producing quality and by the financial results to the growers, it was the most valuable ever produced. This statement is taken from the proof sheets of the United States census bureau's bulletin 107 on the production of cotton in 1909. The estimated value of the 1909 crop is given by the bulletin as $812,089,833, as compared with $681,230,950 for 1908. The amount of difference between the 1909 and 1908 values is therefore $130,858,877, an increase of 19.2 per cent, as stated. which is a loss of 9.2 pounds per bale. The chief reason assigned for lightweight bales in 1909 is that unfavorable weather conditions affected maturity of the fiber, and consequently the yield of lint was less than under the better conditions during the preceding g season. The sea island crop of 1909 was the bulletin states, practically the same as that of 1908. Expressed in running bales, this crop was 933, or three-tenths c 1 per cent. It is stated that it would appear practicable to increase the production of sea island cotton by giving more attention to seed selection and to methods of cultivation and by increasing the acreage within the present sea island territory. Other difficulties, besides soil and climatic conditions, in the way of extending this culture beyond present The figures as finally compiled for the crop of 1909, including linters and counting-round as half bales, show 10,386,209 running bales, which, expressed in 500, pound bales, amounted to 10,315,382 bales, which is 3,271,924 bales, or 24.1 per cent less than the total for 1908. During the last five years the price of lint cotton aveaged about 11 cents per pound, or about $5 per bale, and the value of the cotton seed increased from $13.76 per ton in 1906 to $27.73 per ton in 1909. The value of a 500-pound bale of cotton, including the value of the seed, was $84.31 in 1909, compared with $500.7 in 1904, and with $30.22 in 1908. To the producer of a crop of twenty bales this means that, whereas he realized $604 in 1898, he received $1,686 in 1908, which increase, notwithstanding a greater cost of production at the present time, measures the difference between a mere existence and independent living. The bulletin notes that, according to the bureau of statistics of the department of agriculture, the area planted to cotton in 1909 was 32,292,000 acres, of which 1,354,000 acres, or 4.2 per cent, were abandoned, leaving 30,938,000 acres as the area from which the crop was harvested. There was a reduction of 4.6 per cent in the area harvested and 24.1 per cent in the production of 1909. The average production per acre in 1909 was 164.6 pounds, compared with 195.3 pounds in 1908. Attention is called to the fact that the acreage harvested between 1879 and 1909 increased 113.7 per cent and the production 97.8 per cent. However, the crop of 1908, amounting to about 13,431,131 running bales, represents more nearly the normal production, and it shows an increase of 160.6 per cent over the crop of 1879. The bulletin states that Georgia and the two Carolinas have exhibited especially favorable conditions in the last three years, their combined production in 1909 being only 6.3 per cent less than that of 1908, whereas the crop of the entire country was 24.1 per cent less. They contributed in 1909 about 35 per cent of the entire production. Georgia was second in rank in the quantity of crop produced, being exceeded only by Texas; South Carolina was third, Mississippi fourth, and Alabama fifth. Concerning the conditions affecting the crop in 1909, the bulletin states that the reports from twelve states mentioned excessive spring rains; from eleven states, and drought and rainfall; from ten states, decrease in acreage; from five states, boll weevil ravages; and from six states, insufficient labor. It is stated that deep and thorough preparation of the soil, careful seed selection, more and better fertilization, superior cultural methods, favorable weather conditions, and labor for cultivation and harvesting, are accountable for improved conditions, especially in the Carolina and Georgia. Cotton growers annually, it is stated, are becoming more efficient and successful in subduing or holding in check the destructive effects of the boll weevil, through following the instructions of the national and state departments of agriculture. Investigations by the former have proved that, through a more careful selection of seed for planting and better methods of cultivation, the maturing crop can be hastened by the use of commercial fertilizers and cultural methods as to develop a large percentage of the crop before the weevil has so multiplied as to materially damage it. The most effective check for the weevil is dry weather. The damage from it is practically in proportion to the amount of precipitation. The greatest advance in holl weevil ravages in 1909 was that of one hundred and twenty miles in southern Missouri, but the insect failed materially to extend its range in the Yazoo River Valley. In Oklahoma the greatest advance was only thirty miles, while the average was only ten miles. The value of the Egyptian cotton annually imported into the United States amount to more than $14,000,000, and the demand is increasing. Among the reasons given by the manufacturers for their preference for it is the fact that it is freer from tran and short fibers, with less waste in carding and combing, than that of either sea island or American long-stap'e, upland cotton. The average bale weight for the crop of 1909, counting round as half bales and including linters, was 496.6 pounds gross compared with the average of 505.8 pounds for 1908. which is a loss of 9.2 pounds per bale. The chief reason assigned for lightweight bales in 1909 is that unfavorable weather conditions affected maturity of the fiber, and consequently the yield of lint was less than under the better conditions during the precedin g season. The sea island crop of 1909 was the bulletin states, practically the same as that of 1908. Expressed in running bales, this crop was 933, or three-tenths c 1 per cent. It is stated, that it would appear practicable to increase the productor of sea island cotton by giving more attention to seed selection and to methods of cultivation and by increasing the content of fertilizer in the sea island territory. Other difficulties, besides soil and dilmatic conditions, in the way of extending this culture beyond present welldefined limits, are enumerated. The bulletin states it has been discovered that long-staple cotton can be produced in many sections of the cotton-growing states, and that some of this cotton is graded almost as high as sea island, having been sold last year for as much as 30 cents per pound. The Yancy prices obtained and the success which has attended the growing of this superior upland staple encourage the hope that at no very remote period the United States will be producing upland staples which will meet many of the requirements of sea island cotton. The upland cotton is produced at less cost than the sea island, and, were the localities in which it is grown supplied with facilities better suited to gins, ginger or corn oil, between this and the lower grades of sea island would be even greater. At present saw gins are used on this kind of staple, and these cut and frequently materially damage it. Attention is directed to the fact that the Egyptian and sea island cotton are treated by roller gins, which contribute to uniformity in the fiber. It is stated that the breeding of cotton fitted to escape boll weevil injury, to produce longer staples and heavier yields, and to resist wilt, root, and other diseases, has been conducted, with gratifying results by the department of agriculture. The average value of cotton seed for the crop of 1909 was $27.73 per ton, compared with $15.65 for 1908, $17.63 for 1907, and $13.76 for 1908. The cotton crop of 1909 was fully equal in grade to that of 1908, but not so good in body and staple. On the other hand, it is the most valuable ever grown, considering its yarn-producing quality and the financial results to the growers. On the subject of official cotton standards, the bulletin states that, while there are practical difficulties in the way of establishing uniform standards for the leading grades of cotton, they are not believed to be insurmountable, and that the establishment of such standards, even if applied only to cotton tendered on future-contracts, should go far to relieve the present' situation. With reference to the estimated seed production, the bulletin states that greater care than heretofore is now being exercised in selecting seed for planting, and that this, with proper methods of ginning, tends to the production of more lint than formerly. In view of these conditions, averages of 35 per cent lint for upland and 25 per cent lint for sea island cotton have been produced in 1909. One of the most important tables in the bulletin is that relating to the production of cotton per square mile in the important cotton-growing states and in selected counties in 1889, 1899, 1904, and 1909. The statistics show the general distribution, present density, and fluctuations in the production of cotton. The largest increases between 1889 and 1909 in the production per square mile are for South Carolina, with an increase from 24.3 bales to 36.3 bales; and for Georgia, with an increase from 20.2 bales to 30.5 bales. The states showing losses for the same period are Louisiana, with a decrease from 14.5 to 3.6 bales; and Mississippi, with an increase from 24.9 bales to 23.3 bales. Texas shows only 9.6 bales per square mile for 1909, compared with 5.6 in 1889. The cotton crop of 1904, however, more nearly represents the normal production, especially in the western states. The production in Texas that year averaged twelve bales per square mile, while that of Louisiana was twenty-four bales. The effect of improved methods of cultivation in recent years on the production of cotton per acre is reflected in the statistics for Georgia and South Carolina; in the former, the acreage planted increased during the twenty years 42.4 per cent, and the production 59.6 per cent; in the latter, the acreage increased about 25 per cent and the production about 55 per cent. In Marlboro county, S. C., the average cotton yield was 1909 was 132 bales, compared with 78.3 bales for 1904, and 6 bales for 1889. The bulletin refers to the statement that intensive farming had its beginning in this county about 1857, and it argues that, if it may be assumed that the record of this county for 1909 indicates the potentiality in cotton, growing for all the 812 counties for which ginning was returned last year, the possible production for the United States would be estimated at more than 80,000 bales, without taking into account any further extension of the cotton-growing area. BOOSTING THE SOUTH Southern Railway Maintains Southern Industrial Exhibit in Washington, D. C. Washington, D. C.—In a constant effort looking toward the upbuilding of industries in the south and the attracting of homeseekers and settlers who will make desirable citizens for the country along its lines the Southern Railway Company, through its Land and Industrial Department, with offices located in this city, is doing a work which has been and is of vast importance in the great progressive movement in the south. At the headquarters of this department, which occupies a three story building on Pennsylvania avenue, there has been collected a display of the agricultural, manufactured, mineral and forest products of the south which in themselves constitute a comprehensive, permanent exposition on the territory south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers and east of the Mississippi. This is open at all times to the inspection of every one, it has been visited by thousands and has been the means of interesting many prospective settlers in the south and bringing to this section the most desirable class of citizens. This permanent exposition as a nucleus makes it possible for the Southern Railway through its Land and Industrial Department to make attractive exhibits at fairs and expositions in the north and west, which make a splendid showing of the south. This matter how short notice the department may have it is ready and able to make a creditable display of the vastly varied products of the country covered by the lines of the Southern Railway. In this particular line the Southern Railway Company has done a great work, having made very elaborate and attractive exhibits at all notable exhibitions for many years past and this has involved very considerable expenditure on the part of) this company in each instance. In addition to this exhibition of southern products, and manufactures there has been collected a great mass of information about the south, which has been classified and arranged in such a manner that at a moment's notice the most detailed facts can be given as to the products and resources of any county through which a line of the Southern Railway passes. This compendium of information about the south, which is without an equal respects to the presents the intelligent and persistent labor in studying the south and gathering those facts which will properly show to the world its attractive features. With this information in hand the department has labored unceasingly in the special work of locating industries at all points along the company's lines and in inducing desirable settlers in the north and west and in northern Europe to turn toward the south to make their homes. Public Land Bill Passed. Washington, D. C. The public land withdrawal bill was passed by the senate, after a debate upon that measure which covered an entire session. Just before adjournment the statehood bill was laid before the senate as the unfinished business, thus insuring its consideration during the present session. The land bill was so amended as to provide for the issuance of $30,000,000 worth of certificates of indebtedness with which to complete irrigation projects. Washington News. After overruling the recommendations of its conferences on the naval appropriation bill by agreeing to senate amendments that one battleship should be built in a navy yard and not more than one of them should be constructed by the same contractor, and agreeing to have a $1,000,000 collier built in a navy yard of the Pacific coast, the house approved the report of its conferences on that measure. Further disagreement was ordered upon the senate amendments authorizing four submarine torpedo boats to cost $2,000,000, five submarines to cost $2,500,000 and six torpedo boat destroyers to cost $700,000 each. Postmaster General Hickhock has issued instructions for the promotion, issued of nearly thirty thousand postoffice clerks and city letter carriers. This action was taken under the authority conferred on him in the postoffice appropriation bill passed at the present session of congress. More than a million dollars has been paid into the treasury on account of the corporation tax. Receipts for June have aggregated $342,642. Twenty-seven million dollars in assessments have been levied against the corporations of the country under the corporation tax law. The tax is payable on or before June, 30. Most of the corporations whose assessments have been funded sands will wait, in all probability, until the last moment before paying up, thus utilizing in other directions the tax money. What is commonly designated the plumbing trust is under investigation by the department of justice. The so-called combination has various ramifications, and one feature of it has been popularly called the hardware or the bathtub-trust. Numerous complaints have been made, alleging generally the existence of a combination to maintain prices. One of these was to the effect that as a result of the operations of the trust jobbers who sold to retailers at cut prices were cut off from plumbers' supplies. Discouraged in his attempt to induce congress to increase the number of officers in the army, Secretary Dickinson has taken steps to recall officers from detail stations to the line. Mrs. Howe Advises the Women to Shun the Fast Life of Society and Cling to Old-Fashioned Ideas. Boston, Mass. — Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, the grand old woman of America, authoress of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," who has just passed her ninety-first birthday, discussed the part American womanhood is playing in the twentieth century life. Mrs. Howe believes that other women could live to be 91 quite easily if they shun the fast life of society and look with old-fashioned horror on the insidious and invidious evils. Her ideals are not so old-fashioned as her precepts for living. "Times and conditions have certainly changed since I was a girl," said Mrs. Howe. "Some changes have been for good; others for worse. We were all shut in and I can go back in my memory and see myself like a damsel of olden time shut up in the castle of my home. "I have been shocked to hear of the prevalence of drinking among society women today. The cocktail habit, as I believe it is called, is the curse of modern society." That is one of the phases of fast life in society. It is alarming. "Iimagine the regret with which I have heard that some women have even acquired the 'breakfast cocktail habit'—am I right in that? I am told it is a habit of drinking before breakfast in the morning in order to acquire an appetite. I shudder to think of the harm which is done to woman, not only physically, but morally, by this custom. Even the 5 o'clock teas which were once so staid and decorous have, changed and liquor is associated with the delicious and delightful tea which gave the name to the fashionable repast. "Society will change with the equal enfranchisement of women. In recent years the wealthy matron and girl have had no way in which to spend their time but in frivolity. Their idleness led to mischief. The ballot will impose a duty upon women which will give them something to occupy their thoughts with. They will not have so much time for silly and harmful pleasures. Much of the 'fastness' will pass from smart society. "Happy old age comes only from health and a clear conscience. Health can only be kept by simple and quiet living. I do not decry society at all; only some of the phases of it which have grown up in the past twenty years. "The old-fashioned ideals are the best. Every woman who attains a certain age comes to realize this and preaches its doctrines. Give us again the old home with its cozy comfort and its tranquil air of perfect peace and domestic happiness. No divorces, no sudden voyages to Europe upon the merest whim; "Perhaps, great wealth has done much harm to American society. I do not know. Wealth has done some harm in the manner in which it has caused men and women to become dissatisfied with their homes. It makes them seek the gilded hotels, where one can have his bidding done merely by pushing a button. The hotel life of today is very harmful. It makes people lazy. -It removes democratic obligations. "Some day it will be all-changed. Some day all people, rich and poor alike, will realize that the old-fashioned ideas are the best after all." INCREASE IN PRICES PROBED. Investigation by Government Bureau of 257 Commodities. Washington, D. C.-Beginning with September, 1908, there has been a monthly increase in wholesale prices, without a break, up to March, 1910, and during the latter month the prices were higher than at any time in the preceding 20 years, according to a report, which has been issued by the bureau of labor. The report is based upon an investigation of 257 commodities and says that the wholesale prices during March of the current year were 7.5 per cent higher than in March, 1909. The wholesale prices in 1909 advanced 3 per cent over the prices of 1908, but with this advance, they were still 2.3 per cent below the average of 1907, the year of highest prices within the period of 1890 to 1909. TO SUPPRESS GRAFT. National Anti-Graft Movement, Organized in Washington. Washington, D. C.—The first concerted step toward suppressing graft in all its forms throughout the country was taken here when the organization whose name will be 'The National Anti-Graft Movement,' opened offices in this city, from which it will conduct its campaign. The movement is the direct result of the anti-graft speech made recently by former Governor Fols of Missouri at banquet tendered him by the Missouri democracy. It is said, considerable funds already have been pledged to put the organization on a substantial basis. zuUCCOCOe—=hl “= ” £ \ seg a SE aa eee eee | et 2 SNM ERY tg wahoo +” awe BE Fe ee ae > , re BPS ie pie Ss Seg 1 ae REM E see OBEY Ue Be 8 “ : n & . we OO BAS jig ce Bae WS ee SSR vo ae. < SA oe” a Fs 5 : Dae Teb a See ; cio“ Rargest:Sick-and" Death: Benefits;:Smallest Premiums.

The’ meeting was marked by un- bounded enthusiasm. Many of those present had traveled a considerable distance. to attend the meeting, and it was plain that they were thorough- ly in earnest about the matters for the discussion of which the meeting kad been called. Many of them haa already had opportunities to see the vast benefits to be derived from even a@ most limited advertising campaign and, as a result, were eager for more, Tyose from towns which have, not up until this time taken any steps lcak- ing ta the exploitation of the particu- Jar advantages which their own sec- tions offer, seemed also to have ‘caught the enthusiasm and apparent- ly were seeking to know only the best method of getting into line. ‘W.

He stated that he recently made a tour througa the northwest and was told that within the past four years more’ than 250,- 000 residents of the United States had moved into Canada because the farming lands in that portion of tb United States had become so high that farming was no longer profitable. Hundreds of these, the speaker said, might have heen brougat to Georgia had the state been advertised as fi might. Roll call showed that 105 members, representing 51 Georgia towns and cities and every section of the state, were present at the meeting. MUCH BAD CORN. Inspector Methvin Condemned 22,C¢0 * Bushels in Month of May. Atlanta, Ga.—No less than 22,000 bushels of corn were condemned dur- ing the month of May by State Pure Food Inspector P. A. Methvin, be- cause it was found to be unfit for the market; and had not been labeled, “Corn for hogs only,” in accordance with the pure food law, This is an indication, states Mr. Methvin,; of the vast amount of corn being shipped into the state in vio- lation of the law, despite the visi- lance of the inspectors, He finds that frequent attempts are made to evade and violate ‘the law by “spiking” corn, which merely is ‘to mix a littlé good corn with much bad corn. At present Mr. Methvin is at work on a casq at Savannah, ad the vio lators will be prosecuted as‘soon as possible, Stock raisers and dalry- men throughout the state are abax- doning corn as a food, it is stated, on account. of the frequent violations, Prize For Farmer Boys.

BY CHARLES BUXTON DOING, IN BUSCESS MAGAZINE Ah, when I first began to plant Life's garden close, I did not know (for I was young and ignorant). What choice of seeds I ought to sow. And many things I planted there Alas! turned out but barren seeds, And others died for want of tea. And many more proved noxious weeds. But in the midmost place of all A little slip grew, unaware, And it had burgeoned fair and tall Before I knew that it was there.

It looked like a pretty illumina- tion, like French cottage-window, with the shaded lamp burning on the centre-table and the muslin curtain blowing backward and forward in the illac-scented breeze; and the tableau of two young lovers sitting together on the sofa was prettier, sitti. Leslie Brown was a beautiful girl of seventeen, dark-browed and rose-lipped, with a skin like the velvety cream of a magnolia leaf, dark-gray eyes and long, luxuriant hair coiled in a mass of heavy braids around her head. Montagu Lacy was seven-and-twenty, with Saxon features, curls of "But I say, Leslie, you will answer me to-morrow?" pleaded the young man. "I don't know, Mr. Lacy, it's so sudden." "So is everything sudden in this world." "I don't know what mamma would say," hesitated pretty Leslie. "Shall I take measures to ascertain?" solicitously asked Mr. Montagu Lacy. "Certainly not," Leslie answered firmly. "I have not decided as yet myself." "Yes, but Leslie, it's confoundedly hard on a fellow." "Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't. You must go now in any event." "Must I tell Mrs. Lacy vorse with a comical grimace." "To-morrow, then?" "I won't promise." "Then you are a cruel, hard-hearted girl, and thats all I have to say on the subject. However, I shall try my luck, whatever may befall." And, bending lightly, he touched his lips to the rosy dimples of her finger-joints as he went away. Miss Henderson witnessed the whole scene—heard all the words spoken in the multinurious silence of the summer twilight from her, vantage-point behind the hedge of pink-blossomed American laurel. She bit her lip and, if the "beautiful eye" could blast like the forked flash of summer, lightning, Leslie Brown would have been at that instant smite-tech to the ground. "You are so sure of him, my young lady, are you?" said Miss Henderson to herself. "Just wait and see. There may be two words to that bargain." One instant Mavina Henderson stood thinking. To let Pretty Leslie Brown run away with the prize for which she had schemed and plotted so long, was entirely 'opposite' to all her long one-sided policy - and yet - "I have it," said Mavina, to herself. "Yes, I have it. Nothing short of death or madness will part them, and jealousy is a species of madness." Hurrying through the shrubbery, already wet with dew, as swift, and wholesome as a gliding wreath of white mist. Wise Henderson met Montagu Lacy at the front door, just as he had found his hat and lighted the clair which was to accompany him on his long evening walk. Mr. Lacy—oh, please don't throw away your cigar," she said coaxingly, and Malvina Henderson could assume a charmingly pleasing air when she chiseb, "but I've walked so fast up from the lodge for fear, you should be gone—and I've such a favor to ask you." "A favor, Miss Henderson!" "There, now," said Malvina, with an sweet little laugh, "I knew you would be surpassed, but remember! building up a taper finger, it's a profound secret." "Oh, certainly." "Well, it's leap-year, you know, and we girls are going to send Joe Thornegeroff to love latter—just for a joke, you know—and we don't know what earth to write, and—and won't you just give us, the rough draft of one for us to copy?" "Yes, you, you know you've read such lots of delightful English novels, and you can give us just the right idea." "Beg your pardon," said Mr. Larry, laughing, "but I think you young ladies need no suggestions." "Mr. Larry, you should refuse," "Rutase? No, not if I really can be of any use; but—" "Allow us to be the judge of that," cried Malvina, with gay impersonalness, as she drew him into the library and reached for standish and rose-colored paper. "Now you must write a genuine love letter." "How shall I bern it!" said Mr. Lacy, good hunbredly yielding 'the point without, betraying a vestige of the impatience he really felt. "Oh, any way. 'Dear Malvina, just for fun.'" "Very well." And Mr. Lacy's swift pen, scratched away over the paper, dashing off the lines, with ready inventive genius. "How will this do?" he asked, and read over what he had been composing. Miss Henderson clapped her hands exultingly. "Charming—perfect!" she cried. "How poor, dear Joe will be, victimized." But you haven't signed it—what ought we to wind-up with?" "Oh, that is simple enough. 'Yours devotedly,' or 'Yours until death,' or some such rhodomontade," he said, hurriedly scratching off the glowing words. "Now sign it. I am so stupid, you see. I need tell your good nature in counseling me." "Just the initials—in my case it would be M. L." - "How can I ever thank you enough," said Malvina, rapturously, as she folded the little pink billet.

"Never—never, upon my word!" fervently asseverated Miss Henderson. "And, if smiles were sunshine, Montagu Lacy's homeward way would have been one illumination that evening. Flye minutes afterward, Malvina entered the room where Leslie Brown was deluding herself, with the idea that she was reading. "Leslie," she said, earnestly, "I want your advice." Miss Brown looked up rather surprised. Although they were second consuls, she was not, particularly partial to Malvina, and she had reason to suppose that she herself was not a favorite with the fading passe brunette. "My advice, Malvina?" she repeated doubtfully. "Yes," laughed and blushed Malvina. "About getting married." I am going to confide in you, my dear. I have had, an offer." Leslie archied her fair brows, innocently, and Miss Henderson went on, with a well-affected air of pretty confusion. "From—but you can never guess from whom, if you were to try for a hundred years." From Montagu Lacy." 1 Leslie Brown: grew pale, and then scarlet. "Oh, I dare say," said Malwina, a little maliciously, "but you'll tell quite a different tale, when you see the letter I received from him, tonight. Leslie smiled; what else could she do, secure as she was in Montagu's adoration of herself. She could only pity her cousin's monstrous delusion. But Miss Henderson was prepared with testimony to back up her words. She unfolded the note and laid it on the table. "You will believe his own words, if youdon't believe mine," said she, laughingly, and the blood seemed to turn to ice in Leslie's pulses at the sight of the well-known handwriting. "My own darling," it began, but she could decipher no more. Her head swam, her lips quivered. "I do not wish to read it," she said hurriedly. "I have no wish to spy into the secret of others." "But that is entirely a mistaken idea, leslie. We both wish you to know our plans. Let me read it to you. If you will not look at yourself." She murmured out the flowing sentences of love-milten-the rhetoric which the unconscious victim had penned so marilily not fifteen minutes before, but Leslie Brown scarcely heard them. It seemed so impossible—so unmistakably 'absurd—that Montagua Lucy should dare to make open love at one and the same time to herself and this 'black-eyed, vindictive old maid!' That he, whom she had deemed the very impersonation of everything that was noble and chivalric, should be so utterly false! If he were untrue, then what and who, in all the world, could be pronounced real? Miss Henderson's cooling, hypocritically-sweet voice broke harshly in on the thread of her reflections. "Do tell me how to answer him?" she murmured. "You see how he presses for an immediate reply. What shall I say?" "I—I don't know," said Leslie, pressing her hand on her forehead. "My head aches—I don't think I am very well this evening. Some other time, Malvina, I will answer your questions." And Leslie Brown, whose self-command had barely extended to the uttering of these incoherent sentences, hurried out of the room. Malvina watched her with a sly, cat-like smile. "I think I have done for you, young lady," she thought to herself, "with all your rosy cheeks and big, gray eyes!" A little maneuvering, and I shall bring Mr. Montagu Lacy to my feet, now that this dangerous rival is out of the way." Mr. Lacy's astonishment, the next day, on receiving Leslie's indignant message of "not at home," was extreme. "What does it all mean?" he muttered. "I will see her, or—" And he sat himself resolutely down on the front piazza, thus laying regular slege to the unconscious Leslie—a line of tactics entirely different from anything Miss Henderson had supposed him likely to pursue. "Here I sit until midnight—or until she comes out!" he told himself. Presently she came, but not alone. Malvina Henderson was with her, who, was rather more discomfited than Leslie at the sudden apparition which confronted them. But he did not notice the elder of the two ladies at all.

"Leslie, you have no right to deny me an answer thus." "Do not call me 'Leslie,'" she cried, indignantly. "Why should I not? You never scolded me讽它 before." "You owe all your sweet words and familiar expressions' to this lady," said Leslie, drawing back, and motioning to Malvina. "Do?!" said Mr. Lacy, with rather a puzzled air. "Well, I really wasn't aware of it. Will you please, Miss Brown, to explain yourself?" Malvina felt as if her veins were filled with molten fire instead of blood; she would have given worlds to escape the explanations that she foresaw was coming. Leslie caught from the dainty ruffled pocket of Miss Henderson's silk apron the note which had pierced her heart like a sword, and extended it to Mr. Lacy are Malvina could snatch it back. "This will be sufficient explanation," she said, haughtily. "The man who can write such a letter as this to one woman, while he is making love to another, scarcely deserves the title of gentleman." Mr. Lacy eyed the document with amazement. But, Malvina Henderson did not stay to await any further developments. Murmuring some incoherent sentence about a forgotten engagement, she darted back into the house, and fifteen minutes afterward she had the mortification of seeing Leslie and Montagura stroll past the windows in all the radiant abstraction from the outer world that belongs, of right, to true-lovers.

The minority who have square chins and big lower jaws say that we of the receding chins have neither will nor strength of character, which is absurd, as any one may know who remembers that General Wolfo and Mr. Pitt had practically no chins at all; to say nothing of living soldiers and statesmen. To judge a man by his chin is no less foolish than to judge him by the bumps of his skull.—London Spectator. AN' ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY REV. C, CAMPELL WALKER. Brooklyn, N. Y.—The Rev. Colin Campbell Walker, rector of St. Ann's Church on the Heights, had, for the subject of his sermon Sunday morning, "The Returned Wanderer." The text was from St. Luke 15:25; "The elder son was in the field," Mr. Walker said: Nothing sets forth the promptness and completeness of Divine pardon to the slinner more fully, than does this story told, by our Blessed Lord so long ago. Few stories are more familiar, to us than this, few which appeal to us more strongly. It is all so natural, and true to life. It is all so dear, for countless souls, have taken the language of the returned wanderer upon their lips and have made it all their own. It was this aspect of our Lord's character, as shown us in the picture; His divine energy for the fallen and the outcast. His willingness to bind up the broken-hearted, and fan with His own breath the flickering name of hope. His tender, hopeful spirit amuse the men, who spirit which binds men's souls to Him and makes them willing to go even to the Cross because they love Him so: Now, the object of the parable is to show the feelings of the great All Father toward His children, and to mark the steps by which men alliate themselves from Him, and yet to point the way, through penitence and prayer by which they may return and join in the festal joy of the Father's house and live rejoicing in His love. As we read the story, we could almost wish that it had finished and left us rejoicing in the gladness of the father and the penitent-son. But we must remember that while our Lord had been approached by sinners of the lowest type, it is true, there were others also standing by who heard the story—religious and moral people, who were unacquainted with His mission, its character and the object aimed at in it all, and who were shocked at the loving welcome given to the poorest and the most forlorn in life. Doubtless His object was to open wide the gate of mercy, and his purpose was that none should pass it by. And, so in order that this might be so, our Lord must needs hold up the mirror to them all. Therefore, it was that Jesus told us in the story that "A certain man had two sons." Was it only that He might console and help the one? Did He add the story of the elder brother as a kind of sequel to emphasize the contrast, which, alas, too often exists between the Father's far-slighted, generous love in the reception accorded to the wanderer, and that which he meets from his fellowman, and so give to him a kind of consolation amid the cynical rebuffs and scorn of a so-called religious world? We might almost be content to leave it thus, knowing well how greatly that is needed. But the story told is not intended for one class of men alone, nor is it but to emphasize one side of truth. Jesus meant to cover all, and included in His thoughtfulness the whole great family of man. Is the wandering, wasteful son, living in his wild excess, the only type of sinner who is far from God? Was the publican the only one who sinned? Has not the Pharisee who trusted in himself that he was righteous and despised others, no place in the economy of God's free grace? When Jesus spoke to both, He surely sought to teach the lesson that the loss of the filial spirit, whether manifested in the wilful folly of the publican or in the self-righteous arrogance of the Pharisee, is that which takes men from the Father's house and calls for the Father's grace, whether in the form of pardon or putting entreaty. "The Elder Son was in the Field." Here is the companion picture to the other of "The Far Country." For even here there is a hint at distance from the Father's face and home, because in both it is the spirit in the son which Jesus sought to emphasize rather than the actual geography of the situation. If any one of you has lost, or never realized your filial spirit in relation to your father, we need not go into the far country, amid the waste and excess of riot, where the famine must inevitably end and you. And you, easily, and far more often, find you "in the field" of unloving service. It matters not what road men travel in their alienation from the Father. It is the spirit which they lost which really separates from Him. Here, then, were two prodigals, not one. The only difference between them was that one manifested his lack of loving filial spirit to the Father by taking his life into his own hands and spending it as it pleased, him in the "far country," and the other passed his time "in the field" as the cold and insolent critie of the Father, and narrow, infarent censor of his brother. It is not gross and sensual, sins alone which "separate men from God—it is not poverty or pain—for neither of them has been able to break down happiness, hard as the struggle often is, if love to God is 'there.' It is the "unclean thing" of selfishness which spoils the fair beauty of our life from which the Father calls us saying, "Come ye out and be separate, and I will receive you and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be 'My sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." Look at the three main features of this man's character as manifested by his language "in the field" and see if to any extent the same is true of us. "I lo these many years do I serve thee," he said. Surely this was well. It was in this respect that the other son had signally failed. Far from being dependent on the Father's bounty he had claimed his own that he.might do with it as he pleased, and his only hope of freedom was in escape from home. But was the other any better? Where is dependence and disinterested service? True, there was no open resentment of the Father's discipline. But after, all, was said, and done, the service was for hire alone and the wages now seemed altogether insufficient. It is surely this spirit which Jesus seems to, remonstrate with. When the energy of the "regular world infects with mankind after zeal, similar to its own in kind, and often equal in degree, when general devotion to or toward duties in this service of "many years" is regarded as a sufficient indication of spiritual vitality. To all such the 'call to' practical duties has come; but their ears have been deaf to the appeal of grace to a more interior life. Such devotion to duty, such zeal in practical affairs, such service, 'in the field'* it but as St. Paul has said, 'sounding brass and tinkling cymbals'. Here stands the perfect Pharisee—the slave has overcome the son. Of course *wants*, *your*, *service* in the house and in the field, but in *a sense* it is *true* that *He* can do without it. He has *hired servants* enough to do that, but only sons can love Him as he longs for, and manifest the full spirit which *He* *craves*—"My son, give *Me* thine heart." One reason for this is "that it is a law of our, being that, man's predomant passion gives, color and tone to his spiritual state." And when we are so engrossed in mere service "in the field?" to the disparagement of the primary obligation of man, we can see that the controlling motive is a jow, one, however religious that service may appear to be. The lack, of filial spirit is manifested in his boastful utterance. "Never at any time transgressed I thy command." Is not obedience a Christian duty? Yes, but only in the spirit of a son and not as a hireling. Before performing them the man must have it plainly stated what he was to do. There is nothing in the heart to prompt him to perform either more than he was paid for in the way of service or than he was actually told to do. Is this not the spirit against which Jesus spoke when He said, "Except, your righteousness exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees ye shall in no case enter the kingdom." Why in the Sermon on the Mount did He in those wonderful words on prayer and passion and providence teach this higher righteousness? Men had—like this older son—attained the art of measuring acts and ceremonial observance with such faultless nicety, while the heart and soul were left untouched by plety and love. You can to-day so serve God by letter and be as far removed from Him in spirit as the prodigal amid the glare and glitter of the far country. You can be so busy with your mere rule and dogma that you miss the spirit which alone can give them worth. It is not the wild and wanton spirit only which alienates, but the slavish spirit if impulse and conventionalism, and you must not wonder if your cold, cynical and mercenary spirit keeps you in the field when you might be living in the warmth and glow and joy of the Father's house. "Thou never gavest me a kid that I might, make merry with my friends, but as soon as this thy son is come thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. "My friends," "Thy son"—not "my brother." Do you not, see how little sympathy there was between this son and the Father? There can be none unless and until "the spirit of bondage has given place to the spirit of adoption" whereby we dry, "Abba, Father!" If God looks to each of us for a service and obedience which alone can spring from love to Him, so also He looks to us for gladness and rejoicing which only come from sympathy with Him. Surely it was for these reasons that Jesus held up the mirror before the faces of these men of old—and their type is by no means extinct to-day. But, as then, the Father comes and pleads with men to come in from the field where the unfallful spirit drives them. He takes no notice of the sneering innuendoes on the slavish sense of duty or the lack of kindness to our brother. But with his wondrous patience bids us come within the circle of the home and share with Him His wealth of grace. He calls each one of us to a life whose ears are open through constant sympathy with Him to hear what God desires and loves, whose heart has opened to receive Him as its Master and its Lord, so that His will is ours through our admiring love. And if you would forsake the fields into which your selfishness has sent you, turn to Him who calls, and say "Father, I, too, have sinned, for whilst I held the name of son, I lived but as a slave. Make me no longer a mere hirling, but an honored child and say of me. "This My son was lost but now is found." A Higher Force. We have within us a higher force than all the forces' of material nature — a power of will which can adhere to duty and to God in opposition to all the might of the elements and all the malignity of earth or hell. Man has capacities, thoughts, impulses, which assimilate him to God. His reason is a ray of the infinite reason; his conscience an oracle of the divinity, publishing the everlasting law of rectitude. Therefore God is his Father, and heaven is a glorious reality.—W. E. Channing. We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success, often discover what will do by finding out what will not do, and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery. Horne Tooke used to say of his studies in intellectual philosophy that he had become all the better acquainted with the country through having had the good luck sometimes to lose his way.—Samuel Smiles. Believe under a cloud, and wait for Him, when there is no moonlight or starlight. Let faith live and breathe, and lay, hold of the sure salvation of God, when clouds and darkness are about you. Who dreadth that a promise of God can fall; fall asuwgon or die?」When we are pleased to seek a plea with Christ, let us plead that we hope in Him. —Rutherford. Fully a Million Dollars a Week in Foreign Gold Comes to This Country to Pdy For Standard's Product That Is Pledd to the Doors of Hutand Palace, According to the Rockefeller Plan of International Barter. This Rockefeller Foundation, to make a story of it, is in reality just this—it is the dream of a poor boy come-true. It is the happy ending of an American novel of real life. It is the climax of one of the most dramatic and impressive careers that this country, or any other, has ever known. The dream—or the novel or drama, whichever you like—began more than half a century ago. It began in a shabby little boarding house in Cleveland, in the brain of a lad of eleven who was clerking for a shipping and real estate company. There were at that time about a million other American boys of the same age, and not many of them had received fewer privileges than this one. He had been educated partly in the public schools, but mainly at home, by his mother and father. His pay, at this time, was sixty cents a day. His hours of labor were from breakfast until bedtime. For his room and meals he was paying $1 a week, so that his net income—the basis of his dream of fortune and philanthropy—was not more than $135 a year. Even at this time, and with this income, he built a tiny little foundation of his own. Out of the sixty cents a day, he set aside a few pennies for the church, or for some hungry family, or to drop into some hat that was passed around in the office. The notebook in which these little philanthropic entries were made is still in existence. It is known by the name of "Ledger A" in the Rockefeller family. It is a completely worn out little notebook, with broken cover and tattered pages of faded writing, but it is one of the most precious treasures in the Rockefeller vaults. It has more than a personal interest now. It has suddenly become historic, because it records the origin of "the most comprehensive scheme of benevolence in the whole history of humanity." The maffagerial instinct was so strong in this boy that he was not satisfied with merely paying his share into the contribution boxes. By the time he was nineteen he had ripened into an organizer of benvolence. He was a member of a mission church, which was fast breaking down under the weight of a $2000 mortgage. This sixty-cent-a-day youth undertook to collect, the money, and he did it. "That was a proud day," he said in later years, "when the last dollar was collected." Little as he knew it, the boy was then at work upon the fulfilment of his dream to become perhaps the greatest getter, and the greatest giver, of his generation. Later, when he became a prosperous man of business and large affairs, he still retained the habit of organizing his giving as well as his getting. He even went so far as to organize his family into a sort of foundation. At, the breakfast table he would distribute the various appeals for help among his children, requesting them to investigate each other and the following day. In this way his children, and especially his son and namesake, who is destined to distribute the revenue of the Rockefeller fortune, received a Spartan training in "the difficult art of giving." The whole bent of the Rockefeller mind seems to have been inclined from the first toward the working out of this problem of distribution. The business of the Standard Oil Company itself is much more a matter of distribution than of production. It was unquestionably the first company that undertook to sell its product directly to the user on a worldwide scale. For the most part, it delivers its oil, not to wholesalers and middlemen, but to the family that burns it, whether it be in the United States or in the uttermost parts of the earth. It has, for instance, no fewer than 300,000 travelers from door to door in the countries of Europe, selling pints and quarts of liquid light to whoever demands it. Fully $1,000,000 a week, in foreign gold or its equivalent, comes to this country to pay for the oil that is pledded to the doors of hut and palace, according to the Rockefeller plan of international distribution. Consequently, both by natural aptitude and business experience, Mr. Rocketteller was well prepared, to work out the problem of distributing the surplus money of the rich in a systematic and efficient manner. His new foundation is no afterthought. It is no sudden change of mind or change of heart. It is the natural result of fifty years of experience and experiment. What he began to do as a poor boy in a Cleveland boarding house, he is now about to complete 'on an international scale'—that is the explanation of the new plan that has excited so much comment and so much curiosity.

If we had nothing else to do Than talk of those who sin, 'Tis better we commence at home, And from that point begin. We have no right to judge a man Until he's fairly tried; Should we not like his company. We know the world is wide. Some may have faults—and who has not? The old as well as young; Perhaps we may, for aught we know, Have fifty to their one. Then let us all, when we begin. To slander friend or foe. Think of the harm one-word would do To those we little know. Remember, curses sometimes, like Our chickens, roost at home. Don't speak of others' faults until You have none of your own.—Er. The General State Baptist Convention. The Eighteenth Annual Session of the General State Baptist Convention of Georgia was formally opened on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, at First Bryan Baptist Church, with devotions led by the Rev. A. B. Freeman of Atlanta. This was followed by a general expression meeting of thirty minutes, in which quite a number of the delegates heartily engaged, expressing gratitude to the Divine Providence for the many and varied favors of the part and giving utterance to the fondest hopes and strongest resolutions for the future. The introductory sermon was preached by Rev. W. F. Strickland of Atlanta, from I Cor. 13, viii, "Charity never faileth." He preached a strong, instructive sermon. There were about four hundred delegates in attendance representing about three hundred and twenty-five thousand Baptists in the State. One of the objects of this body is the fostering of a reformatory for wayward boys and girls and an Old Minister's Home, near Macon, Ga., where it owns three hundred and fifty acres of land and a commodious school building. In connection with the reformatory is a splendid farm and broom factory. They also cooperate with the American Baptist Home Mission Society in educational and missionary work. The president of the convention is Rev. W. Gilbert Johnson, D. D., pastor of Cotton Avenue Baptist Church, Macon. Among the members of this body are Drs. A. B. Murden, Athens; E. P. Johnson, P. J. Bryant, E. R. Carter, and D. D. Crawford, Atlanta; C. T. Walker, G. H. Dwelle, W. J. White, Augusta; Revs. A. D. Williams, Atlanta; J. H. Brown, Athens; President John Hope, of the Atlanta Brptist College, and others. Auxiliary to the Convention is the Woman's General State Baptist Convention, with Mrs. S. C. J. Bryant of Atlanta, president, and Miss D. A. Murden, of Athens, secretary, and Miss Bessie Foster of this city, corresponding secretary, which is doing excellent work. The features of the afternoon session were the several addresses of welcome and responses interspersed with music and at night the president delivered his annual address. The Educational Sermon was preached Thursday by Rev. J. H. Browne, of Athens and on yesterday a sermon was preached by Rev. W. H. Ferrel, of Rome. The various reports received and other business done during these two days spoke volumes for the good done by this grand body. At the session this morning a sermon will be preached by Rev. W. J. Bissard. This afternoon the delegates will be given a ride around the harbor. Following is the program for tomorrow: at 9:30 a. m., Sunday School; Recitation by Miss Daisy Belle Parker; Solo by, Miss Annie May Jones. At 11 a. m., the Missionary sermon by Rev. J. H. Moore, of Griffin. At 3 p. m., doctrinal sermon by Rev. J. H. Gadson of Rcme. At 8:30 p. m., closing sermon by Rev. H. B. Bennett, of Newnan. Adjournment.

Augusta, Ga., June 15, 1910. Editor Savannah Tribune: There has been no social event in this city in the past decade that has attracted more favorable comment, or in which the social set took greater pleasure than in the Hegga-Tolbert marriage that took place at the Union Baptist Church in this city at 6 o'clock this afternoon. Society had been on the quivive from the time of the announcement of the happy event, and its consumption was anticipated with genuine pleasure by the hosts of friends and admirers of the contracting parties. The church, one of the finest of the city was tastefully, decorated with ferns and flowers that harmonized with the auspicious occasion, and were tokens of the successful career which every friend present wished the happy couple. The ceremony was performed by the the Rev. Thomas Dwelle, the pastor of the church, assisted by Bishop R. S. Williams and was impressive. Miss Addie Tolbert, the bride was one of our public school teachers and numbered her friends only by the number of her acquaintences. She is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Jas. T. Tolbert, her father, who for a long period of years was the pastor of Thankful Baptist Church of this city, having departed this life a number of years ago. Mr. R. B. Heggs, the groom is a successful business man of Savannah, being the manager there of one of our largest insurance companies: He is as popular as a prince, and everybody who know him is his friend. The attendants were Miss Wilhelmena McNiel, attired in a lovely costume of messaline trimmed with crystals, maid of honor; Miss Cornelia Thomas, the bride's maid, wore a beautiful costume of messaline and Spanish lace; Miss Flora T. Evans wore silk with lace over suit; Miss Freddie Horton, point de esprit satin ribbon over with satin slippers; Miss Essie Morrison, beautiful white messaline; Miss Adlaide Walker, accordion plaited silk mull. Little Miss Walker acted as flower girl; Miss Mary Alice Tolbert, who was attired in a catchy suit of lace point de esprit acted as the pillow bearer to the bride. Dr. L. H. Harper, Prof. Dunbar, of Payne College, Mr. Wm. Willburn, and Mr. Robt. Douglas acted as ushers. Little Armour Blackburn was the ring bearer. The bride was attired in a satin costume that was bewildering in its beauty and effect, while the groom wore the regulation black suit, as did his best man Dr. Collier. The presents were numerous and costly and attest the very high esteem in which the contracting parties are held by their friends. Mr. and Mrs. Heggs left over the Central of Georgia Railway at 8:30 Wednesday night for Savannah, their future home, taking with them the best wishes of a host of friends and admirers who wish for them every happiness and the fullest mode of success that a life of constant devotion can afford. Mr. William T. Byrd of Limorick, Ga., and Mr. Chas. W Francis of Thebes, Ga., have returned home from Biddle University after spending a couple of days in Savannah.

She says he's only a "consi of mine." Mrs. C A Johnson of Limerick is ill. Her friends wishes her a speedy recovery. Mt. Zion Baptist Church. The services at Mt. Zion Baptist Church on last Sunday were inspiring as well as interesting though it rained, yet the services were well attended. The pastor, Rev. Me D. Spencer, D. D., is doing all in his power to make the rally which will take place on the 7th of August, a success and we want every member to do the same as it is our desire to build in a very short space of time. The church will hold an anniversary the first week in. August and we would like to have the hearty co-operation of the public. The Sunday school is improving greatly and we would like to have your presence at same. Our communication services take place tomorrow at 4:30.

We cordially invite you to attend our services at any time and note the facility in which we are developing. F B B Church. Despite the inclement weather all day Sunday and even Sunday night, a good crowd attended church. In the morning Rev. Wright read for the lesson Psalms 116. His text was from Psalms 116, 15, and the subject was "God's Saints are precious in His sight." He painted several beautiful pictures of God's Saints who were preserved by Him, Moses, he said, was guided through his whole life, and at his death God directed his burial not allowing any human being to be near. Angels only witnessed it. Daniel was so precious that God sent an angel, to lock the lion's jaws when he was placed in their deh. He came out unharmed. Elijah walked and talked with God and when He got ready to take him to Heaven, He sent a charlot of fire for him so that he would not taste death. The sermon was exceedingly valuable to all of us. The choir sang "Jesus of Nazareth Passeth by." Rev. Wright led the hymn "I Love Thy Kingdom Lord." He invited those who felt the need of prayer to the mercy seat and prayer was offered. At night Rev. Wright read for the lesson Luke 11:31, and the text was from Phil. 2:9. The subject was "The Name of Jesus." He said there are some names that we can scarely pronounce and are almost afraid to say them, but any two-year old child can say "Jesus" so simple is it. The sermon was evidently enjoyed by all. The choir sang "Fear Not" then Rev. Wright led the hymn "Am I a Soldier of the Cross." He invited those who felt the need of prayer to the mercy seat, and prayer was then offered. Sister Elizabeth Robinson sent $2.00 to Rev. Wright to assist in the expense of the convention. She was formerly of this city but is now residing in New York City. You are invited to attend our services at any time. Second Baptist Church. Though we were almost completely rained out Sunday, yet the pastor preached to small audiences at both hours, he also baptized at the morning hour, Reys, Quo, Rogers, Hill, Banks, Hamilton and Cannon and others attended the Communion hour to witness Dr. May's acceptance of the Doctor of Divinity title, Dr. D. W. Cannon of Beth Eden Church represented Gaudaloupe College of Seguln, Texas in presenting the degree; and his speech was both masterly and eloquent.

On account of the excessive rain on last Sunday the attendance was very small at each service, Rey John A Cappus preached at 11 a m. His discourse was very beneficial and should be applied to every day life. On account of the rain the Children day exercise that was to take place at 3 p m was postponed until tomorrow, Sunday June 19th. Last Sunday was known as Children's day throughout the A M E Church of the world and was celebrated as such. On last Wednesday at 4 p m Mr Felix Lauree was buried from St Philip. Bro. Lauree had only been sick a few hours. He was a faithful Christian gentleman and responded to every call of his christian duty and fell on the battlefield in triumph. He was a faithful member of class No 42. Mrs Ida Orr another member of St Philip was buried from this church on last Sunday at 3 p m. Sister Orr had gone to receive her reward which is laid up for the faithful. She was also a member of class No 42. Remember that we only have about 316 subscribers to St Philip Building fund. We urge our members the importance subscribing. Our membership is over eleven hundred and must have a majority of the members to subscribe to have a respectable building. You must do your duty. The second rally on subscription will be on Sunday Oct 23, 1910. We must have two hundred new subscribers before that time in order to place our position right. On Tuesday night next a Building committee will be elected by the members of St Philip, and a committee on a place of worship while the new church is being erected will also be appointed.

Charity Hospital Training School for nurses will have its fifteenth commencement exercise at the First, Congregational Church, Wednesday evening June 22, 1910, at 8:30 o'clock. Four nurses will be given diplomas, Charity Hospital is no doubt doing a most useful and commendable service to the colored people of Savannah and should be encouraged. It is the premier of like institutions in the whole south and probably the United States; therefore, the colored people of Savannah should take keen interest in its development and maintenance. The management takes this opportunity to appeal to the entire colored ministry, to set forth from time to time to their congregations, the virtues of this institution. The following resume will give some idea of the amount of work done at the Charity Hospital: From Dec. 1908 to Dec. 1909, there were 238 charity patients and 258 pay patients of the city and 14 county patients treated and cared for at Charity Hospital, making a total of 510, requiring 623 days in the hospital. More than 50 per cent of these patients were surgical. Charity Hospital gives service to more patients according to its size and facilities than any other hospital in the city. The results obtained are second to none. These are only a few facts given of which this space will allow. The nurses who will graduate have served in some of the most exclusive families in the city under some of the leading physicians with entire satisfaction. Following are the nurses: Miss Nudie Howard, Macon; Miss Ida B. Victory, Savannah; Miss Gertrude Howard, Savannah and Miss Florence Anderson, Savannah. All are invited. Bethelehem Bapt. Church.

Nor afraid to be dubbed by some of your "boughtless neighbors" "a progressive farmer," as the title contains an unintentional compliment and is well worth earning.—Farmers' Home Journal. Hard Milkers. We are requested by some of our readers to re-publish the following, by Dr. David Roberts, the State Veterinarian, of Madison, Wisconsin, who is good authority on the subject. He says: This trouble is due to an abnormal contraction of the sphincter muscles at the teat, and oftentimes reduces the value of what might have otherwise been a valuable cow, as no one wishes to purchase or own what is termed as a hard milker, but if stock owners knew how easily this trouble could be overcome, they would never think of disposing of a hard milker at a sacrilege, as is now being done by many. The mere fact that a cow is a hard milker, does, not indicate, that she is not a good milker, but owing to the fact that she is a hard milker she is oftentimes neglected at milking time by a disgusted milker, who leaves a large quantity of the milk in her udder that should have been drawn out. Stockmen who know how to handle such cases oftentimes buy valuable cows, owing to the fact that they are hard milkers, and by the use of a teat-plug and a few treatments for hard milking, cause them to become splendid, easy milkers, thereby increasing their value many more times than the cost of the treatment. A milking tube should never be used in such cases as there is too much danger of infection and the results are not as good as from the use of the teat plug. Staking Tomatoes. The nicest way I have found to raise tomatoes is to tie them up to strong stakes. Drive in the stakes solidly and set the plants beside them. Keep them tied up, as they grow, and keep a good part of the side shoots trimmed off. I leave four or five of the lower branches and allow them to lie on the ground. This is some work, but it pays. It gives a chance to go among the vines to hoe and water, and you can have your garden as neat in the time of ripe tomatoes, as any other time in the summer. And when you want the ripe tomatoes, you can see at a glance where they are, and every tired woman knows what a convenience that is. I seldom see a rotten tomato on the vines that are tied up. The stakes, however, must be strong and firmly set, for you will often see a peck of tomatoes on the vines. One day a lady friend said: "I'll never tie up tomatoes again; it don't pay, for whenever the tops get heavy, over they go." When I walked into her garden, behold, she had procured a lot of elder branches to tie her carations up to, and the largest of these she used for her tomatoes. Another friend decided to use the banana crates which were discarded, at the nearest grocery. The result was very unsatisfactory, as the tomatoes were enclosed and the pieces were so closely fitted that you could hardly get the hand between the latter, to pick the tomatoes. A good kind of early plant is the "Matchless." Early plants are "best raised in tin cans that have been melted apart, bend them in shape, set them closely, together in the hot bed, fill with good soil and plant three or four seeds in each one. Thin the plants out as they grow until you have only one plant in each can. When you want to transplant to the garden lift can and all set in the hill prepared for the plant and carefully take off the can, fill in the soil and water and your plant will never know it was disturbed. G. E. E., in the Indiana Farmer. When to Market LAMBS Many farmers who are beginning in the sheep business have lambs coming in March and April, and it is well to consider just how to handle these lambs in order to make the greatest profit. The owe lambs will, for the most part, be kept over for breeding purposes. The wether lambs will all be sold within twelve months. The problem is whether to push these forward and sell them on the early market, say June, July or August, or to keep them through till Christmas, January or February, and sell them for about the same number of dollars per head that can be secured in mid summer. Which of these methods should be adopted, will depend on the possibility of selling them in carload lots, or to sell them to men who make up carload lots. In a community where there are a great many 'sheep' breeders, and where it is possible for shippers to put carloads of lambs as they do of hogs, I have no hesitation in saying that the best way is to have the lambs oats and corn as early as possibly give them free access to it at all times in clean troughs, allow them the milk of their dams, and sell them at seventy to ninety pounds before weaning. Where one is so largely engaged in the sheep business that he can handle a carload of wethers at any time, this is certainly the way to make quick and easy money. My experience has been that by having the lambs come in March and April and pushing them forward in this way, I could get as many dollars for them in July and August as I could in January and February. In the meantime they have consumed far less grain, the risk of disease has been reduced to a minimum and money is quickly turned. Where, however, one must depend on the local butcher for his market for jams; it is quite as well to finish them off at about 100 pounds at nine, ten or eleven months. If anyone will compare the weights and prices of lambs on the city market, say Chicago, in July and August with the weights and prices in January and February, he will find that the lamb sells for as many dollars in the first mentioned months as in the last. One of the main advantages in selling early is that the risks from disease, especially the stomach worm, are reduced to the minimum. Lambs fed, generously from the first are seldom injured by these worms, even when kept on Infected pastures; but when kept on Infected pastures and given only the milk of their dams they are very likely to succumb to the disease along in August and September.—W. H. Underwood, in the Indiana Farmer. A friend said to the writer the other day: "Geer, what do you know, about the Rhode Island Reds, where did they come from anyhow, and, where did they get the drag they have on the poultry fraternity?" Our reply to one section of his compound question was prompt: "Rhode Island, of course, up there in Yankeeeland where they made the Barred Plymouth Rocks, dressed down the Legtorns, Brown, White and Black, and struck out of a piece of marble the beautiful White Wyandotte." In general, however, his question perplexed us, for we do not know as much about the Rhode Island Reds as we should like to know. But we do know that in the matter of color it is necessary to breed very closely to the standard in order to make advancement in a fixed red color for the breed. It will not, do, if one wants to raise clear red birds, to breed from fowls with white or smut in their plumage, nor from hens which in their second and third year show too much of the light; greany color. And, our observation is that a pullet that is really a good, dark even shade of red, with no white, and no smut, will not fade to the lighter color as she advances in age, like one that is less, clearly red, or one, that has defects in the way of smut, etc. In fact, in breeding Reds, we should select the pullet that shows no snut adown the back in the under feathers, and which has no tendency to light blefles in the heavier feathers. One that is a good, clear red to the skin, with a glowing, clear red cast in the sunshine. This kind of a pullet will, when she gets older, still have a well-defined reddish cast to her plumage, and will not run to a lighter, creamy color, with darker neckhickle. And such a female, mated with a cock, bird that is likewise free of snut and, white, with good "red" undercolor, and a good strong red in his surface color, will throw chickens, that will take the breeding line away up, in the way of flies, truly red breed. In points of utility the Rhode Island and Reds are all right. The hens do get broody to an aggravation sometimes if we are not looking for that characteristic; but they may be easily broken up by simply dropping them in a small bare pen with an active cockrel for a few days. They lay well, and keep it up in the cold season, too. A friend of ours who has reds, Rocks and White: Plymouth Rocks, let the two latter, breeds go, because he always got more eggs from his Reds than from either of the other breeds. The Reds are hearty, and the chicks grow fast and mature early. It's a good breed and one that will stay with us, settling down eventually along the line of utility with the Barred Plymouth Rocks, the S. C. Brown and White Leghorns, and the Wyandottes. H. B.

Apprehensions for drinkenness, totalled 14,167, a decrease of considerably over 4000. While lack of money has no doubt contributed to increased sobriety, the Chief Constable states that the growth of temperance has been, a great factor. A great deal of money has been spent on amuctions, which was 1647s as dryable for spending in drinken. Compared with two years ago the apprehensions for drinkenness showed a decrease of nearly 7000.—London Daily Mail. The earth's fertile area is estimated at 22,269,200 square miles. THE BELL A MODEL OF THE COLUMNUS STATUE BY LORADO TAFT, WHICH IS TURNED INTO A NEW TOWER DROP AT WASHINGTON NEW DETENTION-HOME AND JUVENILE COURT BUILDING, MILWAUKEE Showing the possibilities in a city that is willing to meet the situation fully. This building is to cost $80,000.—The Survey. THE COLUMBUS STATUE AT: WASHINGTON Forei pirs, have often commented on the absence from Washington City, where, statues of heroes and near heroes occupy almost every available space, of any monument to Columbus — throughout the entire United States of Columbus, like those of a certain ancient Roman, are conspicuous by their absence. On the other hand, throughout Latin America statues of Columbus' in bronze and marble are numerous and of great beauty. At last, however, the great discoverer is to be honored, an Act of Congress approved March 4, 1907, providing for the erection of a statue in a suitable location, one hundred thousand dollars having been appropriated for the purpose, and a committee named to select the design. At the time the bill was enacted, President Taft was Secretary of War and chairman of the committee. It has been decided that this memorial shall be placed in the plaza of the new Union Depot. This building, which cost eleven million dollars, is regarded as the finest structure of its kind in the world. It is not inappropriate that the statue should stand at this noble gateway to the national capital. - In response to the invitation of the committee, 'twenty-one models' were submitted by sculptors of international reputation, though only two or three were submitted by foreigners. So uniformly high was the merit of A MODEL OF THE COLUMBUS STATE TO STAND IN THE P UNION DEPOT AT these designs that the work of selection was extremely difficult; but the design finally chosen, the work of Lorado Taft, of Chicago, meets with general approval. It was selected on account of its simplicity, combined with an effective harmonization with its setting in front of the great station building. The model shows a grasp of the architectural problems involved, and besides presents a fine characterization of Columbus himself, who, incidentally a sailor and soldier, was primarily a great thinker. Mr. Taft will receive the contract for erecting the statue, which is to form part of the scheme for a central fountain dominating the plaza and facing the Capitol Building. Other designs of especial merit were submitted by Philip Martiny, of New York, who received a prize of five hundred dollars; Augustin Querol, of Madrid, Spain, who was given third honors and a prize of five hundred dollars; Henry Hering, of New York; T. Otto Schwegel, of Philadelphia; Louis Weingartner, of Bromsgrove, England; and Pierre Feltu, of New York. — Harper's Weekly. "All Off." A. W.

She fell forward on his chest; and the swift glide continued, with the woman on top. "At the bottom of the hill the woman, kicked, and struggled, trying in vain to rise. Harkness underneath her, waited patently for about a minute; then he said in a smothered voice: "Pardon me, madame, but you'll have to get on here.

Lockjaw, known to medical men as tetanus, is one of those terrific maladies which occasion great suffering and battle the best-attempts of the profession to successfully treat them. Commencing with stiffness of the jaw muscles, tetanus quickly goes on to produce violent convulsions, which utterly exhaust its veltin's strength, while preventing him from taking food, owing to his being unable to open his mouth; hence its more popular designation of "lockjaw." Investigations have shown that this dreadful disease is due to a microbe which commonly exists in ordinary soil and the surface mud of the streets, which habit explains the reason why tetanus frequently attacks persons who have been injured in street accidents and had their wounds contaminated with refuse and dust from the roadway. Although no certain cure for tetanus is yet known, progress in being made with injections of "anti-tetanin serum"—London Telegraph.

The wisest minds of the race have been debating the question for ten thousand years or more, and the subject is; still far from being settled. The best definition of nature known to us is, to be found in John Stuart Mills, "Three Essays, on Religion, and is as follows: "Nature is a collective name for all facts, actual and possible; or a name for the Mole, partly known to us and partly unknown, in which all things take places." It will be observed from this definition that in Mills' opinion nature is all, the so-called supernatural being but the "unknown" side of the natural. ORDER. TO SUSIE.

Biplane Measures Only 30 Feet Fore and Aft and From Side to Side—Weight Only 1004 Pounds—Fifty Horse-Power Water-Cooled Motor Drives Seven-Foot Propeller at 1000 Revolutions a Minute. New York City.—The machine with which Glenn H. Curtiss made his flight from Albany to New York is not only the smallest ever employed in an important aerial trip, but aviators say is the smallest which ever has been utilized in a cross-country journey. It is what is known as the biplane type. It measures from extreme front to extreme rear just thirty feet one inch, and it is thirty feet wide. The two wings are four and one-half feet apart, the two and half feet wide. They are made of the fine rubber-silk cloth which is Captain Thomas Baldwin's contribution to aviation. The planes and wings of the Curtiss machine are concave but rigid, in which they differ from the Wright machine in that its wings may be warped through Lover controls operated by the rider. Instead of warping his wing tips Curtiss employs an alleron on each side of the machine. These allerons are four feet long and two and one-half feet wide, and are fastened at each end of the machine to two of the upright rods at the front edges of the planes. The uses to which these allerons are put are identical with those accorded by the warping wings of the Wright machine. By a system of wires and pulleys, acting on the rearedges of the alterrons (and on the Wright machine on the rear of the wings), the alteron on one side is pulled up when the other side is pulled down. This is necessary to give stability and prevent drift and overturning. If, in straightaway flight, for instance, the aeroplane drops toward the right, the degree of the, angle of incidence of that side of the planes is increased, thereby adding to the resistance of the air of that side, which tends to make that end of the machine rise, and the angle of incidence of the upward end is decreased, pulling it down and bringing the aeroplane back to a normal position. The elevating plane or deflector at the front of the machine which Curtius used is larger than any other hitherto has employed. It measures about two feet more in width than the one he had on his Governors Island "June Bug" type of biplane. The rear rudder is of the customary Curtius manufacture, consisting of a vertical and a horizontal plane which intersect each other at the centre lines. At the very centre of the lower plane and on a strong wooden bed is the eight-cylinder, V-type, fifty-horse power motor, which drives the single seven-foot propeller at a thousand revolutions per minute. This exerts a 350-pound pressure on the air, and thereby propels the machine The cylinders, which are cast singly, and are water jacketed to an extent rather less than is the custom with automobile cylinders, are square, measuring four by four inches. They are cast of gray iron, with finely wrought mistons. The oil tank, holding two gallons, is located under the aluminum crank case. The lubricant is forced upward through two one-sixteenth inch pipes to the chrome-nickel steel crankshaft by means of a small, gear-driven United States and Mexico Take Steps to Control Airships. Washington, D.C.—The advance in aerial navigation has led the United States and Mexico to take the initial step in the direction of regulating international traffic in the nlr. A treaty between the two countries is now being negotiated by Secretary Knox and Senor de la Barra. It is pointed out that in carrying flight weight and valuable packages, the airship, with an unrestricted method of operation, could do a profitable smuggling business. pump. The crankshaft is hollow and the oil runs through it to the bearings, overflowing from there to the case. A system of overflow tubes keeps the oil in the crankcase at a constant level. The radiator, which is of four-gallons capacity, is located to the right of the engine, looking forward, and the water is forced by a gear-driven pump through the packing of the cylinders. This is the largest engine that Curtiss has yet built, and marks his discarding of the air-cooled type for the water-cooling system. Under the framework to which the front wheel is attached Curtiss, before his flight, affixed a silk air-bag whose own piece of finely selected spruce reinforced by a layer of rubber silk to make that side of the bag airtight. This was intended to have the effect of a hydroplane in the event that Curtiss was compelled to come down on the water at any time during his flight. New York City.—The aeroplane would not endanger New York in the event of war, in the opinion of Brigadier-General Walter Howe, commanding the Department of the East, with headquarters on Governors Island. General Howe pointed out that there is no telling what the aeroplane of the future might do, and wished it understood that his opinion applied to the aeroplane as it is. High in the air and traveling at a great speed, General Howe said the aviator would find his task a very hard one if he attempted to drop explosives on vessels at a distance descended to an altitude where he could top explosives with any degree of accuracy the land forces would wreck his machine with shrapnel. "General Howe responded to a question put by a reporter, the question being what, in his opinion, was the military lesson to be drawn from the Curtiss flight from Albany. "In my opinion," General Howe said, "the only military lesson is that there will come a time when the aeroplane will be of great value as an agent of warfare. This is shown by the fact that two years ago none of us believed that the development of the aeroplane on a scale such as was shown by the Curtiss flight was possible. When we remember this we can only conjecture how great will be the progress in the development the next few years will bring. "At the present time the aviator in an aeroplane may be able to carry dynamite or other high explosive, but, owing to the height at which he would fly, I do not think his presence would endanger to any appreciable extent vessels or fortifications, or even cities and towns, above which he flew. If he flew high he would probably have a hard time hitting us, while if he came low we would have very little trouble in getting his range." General Howe expressed the opinion that the Government would not engage extensively in the development of the aeroplane, but would continue as in the past, to leave that largely in the hands of individuals. America is Bound to Take Lead in Science of the Air. Milwaukee. Wis.—"This is only a beginning of American progress in the science of the air," declared Dean J. G. Davis, of the College of Engineering, of Marquette University, speaking of Curtiss' great achievement in aeronautics. "America is bound to take the lead sooner or later in this great-new science, and I think that the next few years will see Curtiss' achievement-regarded, in the same 'light as the Fulton steamboat trip of 1807." ball near the seam. Then deliver the ball with a side arm or overhand delivery in such a manner that the ball will be rotating in that is, have it twisting toward the inside corner of the plate. The speed of the ball will carry it straight until it almost reaches the batter. Then it will swerve quickly close to the hitter. In the big leagues, there is much discussion as to whether the ball should be thrown sideways or with an overhand motion. The popular belief is that it should be thrown overhand, providing the pitcher throws his other curves overhand. There is no doubt, however, that the sidearm or underhand motion is decidedly effective if used by a pitcher who varies his delivery. When a pitcher delivers a ball, underhand or half-under, half-sideways and shoots it upward and inward (that is, if the slapman is a right-hander) it is extremely difficult for the batter. If he is a right-hander, to connect with it. This is due to the fact that the ball looks like a straight one and just as he swings at it the curve breaks, probably not more than six inches, but sufficient to make the best of sluggers perforate the atmosphere. While the overhand delivery is not as deceptive if the batter outguesses you to the great truth that your drop rise just what the batter is thrown unhappy. The batter is thrown unhappy to tail just what the principal reason why it is so effective. Another reason is that it can be thrown over that it seems to be coming over the plate, but jerk to a sudden that the batter invariably is deceived into supposedly it to be a "peach" and naturally swings at it. Now, the ball looks spitballs. The other three generally are what is, commonly known as incurses. When I signal or receive a signal for an in' I make a bluff at splitting on the ball. I do not wet the sphere in the least, however, as this would spoil the effect of the curve. The batter, expecting a spitball, which is nothing more than a quick-breaking drop, is completely baffled when the ball falls to drop an inch, but which swerves rapidly inward close to the handle of his bat. I've slipped the third strike over in this manner time and time again." ```markdown ``` In the pressure of business before congress a more important measure might have been introduced than that for which Representative Smith of Iowa is sponsor. A prize fight is scheduled to take place in California this summer, and if Mr. Smith's bill is passed, no intelligence of that event can be legally sent beyond the state where it occurs. Nows of that kind is not uplifting. Neither are reports of lynchings or other acts of brutality and violence, and the public is but poorly served by having the details dealt out to them in sensational form; but they constitute a part of the happenings of the time and the repression of all reports of them is narrow within the proper province of the law. A A The concensus of opinion seems to be that a "baseball story in unimpeachable English would be odd enough to be interesting, but that as a steady diet it would soon pall upon the "tans," who have become accustomed to that slang which is so distinctively a part of the atmosphere of the game. It conveys more to their minds to say that a man at the plate slapped the peletist for four bags than gravely to announce that the batter knocked a ball which enabled him to score a home run. The "hunt" and the "bush leaguer" have become intimately interwoven with the speech of today. The nicknames of the teams have practically superseded the names of the towns whose tags they bear, and lend life and color to the descriptive story. This so-called slang, when it is spontaneous; makes for brevity. It presents a picture in a word. A A With all possible respect to President Taft's -baseball knowledge and ability, we doubt if he could beat out a bunt. A A Coach J. W. Heisman of Tech is going to establish a system of football by correspondence this fall, sending weekly letters of instruction on salient points of the game to teams that have not got a coach. He proposes to send ten letters a season, mapping out plays, both offensive and defensive. This should be a big success. A A There is only one blue spot in the Southern league now—that is dangerously blue—and that's Mobile. Somebody has got to be the goat and why shouldn't it be Mobile as well as anybody else? Every other team in the league has a look-in for that rag and not one city of the seven has a just right to knock the work that its team is doing. ```markdown ``` Predictions made 'at Athens, Ga., in March that Russel Ford of the Highlanders would 'develop, into one of the best pitchers, in the American league appear to have been not far out of the way. AA Joe Jackson, who played with the Savannah club in the South Atlantic league last season, and who is destined to become one of the greatest ball players ever produced by the south Ty Cobb not excepted, is leading the Southern league in batting. The Neated discussion relative to a proposed division "downward" of the present football rules has provoked George Ade to the following solution of the problem: Football Selection of Play A. La Geo. Ade. the eleven oliver coaches players, constituting the team shall be selected by the factual, and the student who has received, the highest grade in Greek anthology shall be captain of the team. No student shall be eligible for the team unless he is up in his class work and has an established reputation for plenty. Preliminaries—When a team appears on a field for a contest it shall greet the opposing team with the Chautauqua salute, which consists of waving his handkerchief. After this a few friendly chats concerning books and writers may precede the opening of the game. Substitutes for the Toss—Instead of tossing a coin to determine which side gets the ball, the two captains shall be called, upon to extract the cube root of a number, provided by the professor of mathematics. The captain, who is first to hand in the correct, solution gets the ball. Advancing the Ball—The ball having been placed in the center of the field, the umpire, who must be a professor of geology, exhibits to the team having possession of the ball a fossil. All members of the team who think that they can name the geological period in their right hand. The umpire selects a player to name the team. If the answers correctly he advances, the ball two yards. In addition, he gives the scientific name of the fossil he advances the ball five yards. If no member of the team can answer the proposition propounded by the umpire the opposing team shall be given a trial. Rotation of Umpires—After each touchdown there shall be a change of umpires, so that the questions asked of a team may, in the course of a long and exciting game, cover the class work in zoology, applied metaphysics, veterinary science, Sanskrit, and other useful studies. Offside Plays—Any player who makes a grammatical error, mispronounces a word, or seeks assistance from a fellow-student shall be deemed guilty of an offside play, and his side shall be penalized at least five yards. Substitute for Kicking Goal—After a touchdown has been made the team making it shall be credited with five points, and the captain of the team shall translate five hundred words of Caesar's Commentaries. If he does so without an error, his team is given an additional point, the same as if a goal was kicked. If he falls the ball goes to the opposing team on the twenty-five-yard line." Tyrus Cobb seems to suffer no falling off in his work this season, even though he has been reported badly bruised and battered through the ex- Ty Cobb Going Good. base, "knives" first. Tyrus today is leading the league in three departments and is third in batting. He is a trifle below his hitting average of last season, but L352 looks rather tempting to most managers, coupled with the fact that T. Raymond is leading the extra base sluggers. This wonderful baseball machine has stolen more bases, has hit for a greater total of bases, than any other player, and has the best percentage of runs scored per game. In the meanwhile the great Hank Aggerner is alightly off his stride. He will come again at the close, but, as last year, he will doubleless suffer by actual comparison with Cobb, in the attacking element of play. One man teams are not popularly supposed to have an existence in fact, but indirectly they have. For one man, who is a rock to anchorage, to playing the same in the team's good and bad hounds alike, is a nucleus to build around. With one department of the club going well, the spirit of the whole team changes, and from a loser a club may become a winner—all through the advent of one man Hughey Jennings can tell you about that. One man brought his club up from a lowly berth to three-time pennant winner, which speaks for itself. A A Apropos to President Tatt's protest against the exploitation of his visit to Forbes field; here is a tip to other cities where the President may agree to see a professional ball game; Comment upon it in the papers, but do not circus him. If this advice is disregarded he will become disgusted, with the cheap notoriety and eschew the great national and highly useful amusement which he is unconsciously advancing so much in public esteem every time he enters a baseball grand stand. △ △ Evidently Kid Collier, the "Boy wonder" of the, Yellow Jackets, has the Red and Black batters' goat. At least it looks so, when it is reded that for thirty-two innings the Red and Black team have been unable to score a single tally off of his delivery. Last season he defeated Georgia in Athens three to nothing. This year he blanked them again one to nothing in the Classic City, and last week the hurled fourteen more rounds without allowing them to score. That is some hurling, and certainly stamps Collier as the first choice for the All-Southern college team. A A A *press*, report, a joker, was sent out from New Orleans the other day to the effect that the Southern would be cut down to a six-town league, leaving out Montgomery and Chattanooga. President Kavanaugh characterized it as a report which was "disgraceful to progressive baseball." A A Macon, in the South Atlantic league, claims to have brought forth a contest in young Bennet, the twirling.

MODES THAT BLOSSOM THIS SEASON THE LADY'S DRESS New York City.—The pretty dressy blouse that closes at the front makes one of the features of the season, and is so practical and desirable that every woman welcomes it. Here is a model-that is closed invisibly and that is worn with a separate shield. 1 and this shield can be made with a Dutch neck, or with a collar as liked. Scotch gingham with trimming and shield of plain lawn makes this waist and the material is to be greatly in vogue, but the model is equally appropriate for voile and for marquette, for silk and for linen, indeed, for all seasonable materials. Buff linen with trimming, portion and shield of white would be exceedingly smart and exceedingly handsome. One of the beautiful foulards or pretty striped cotton volles would be charming made with trimming of plain colored material, and as the blouse is equally well adapted to the separate waist and to the gown, its uses are almost without limit. The blouse is made with fronts and back, which are tucked on becoming lines. The sleeves are in one piece each and gathered into bands. The front edges form box pleats, and the collar is joined to the neck edge. The shield is quite separate and closed at the back, while the waist closes invisibly at the left of the front. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three and a half yards twenty-one or twenty-four, three yards thirty-two or one and seven-eighth yards forty-four inches wide with seven-eighth yard twenty-seven inches wide for the trimming. Foulard Silk Uses. Foulard makes the new separate blouses (one-piece affairs) which Paris is smiling so sweetly upon just now. And great bows of it trim rolling straw sailor hats. It lines serge top coats and tailored suits. Taffeta dresses in plain colors show it in quaint trimming schemes. The delicately printed foreign foulards make lovely shoulder scars. And its fashionableness for morning and afternoon, street and house gowns goes without saying. A A novelty chiffon marquisette of rose color is used here as an overdress for a lingerie gown. Gray Chiffon Drapery. Each week finds it more fashionable to put a loose drapery of smoked gray chiffon over a colored satin gown. This drapery may be in the form of a tunic or in one of the popular decollete coats that do not meet in front, but drop from shoulder to knees. Less Turned Hats. Hats that are turned down are less in evidence. A Silk Revival The old-fashioned surah is once more in vogue. It is not so stiff as it was formerly. And it comes from across the Atlantic. You may have it in the new changeable effect if you like. There are plain colors, too. It is very elegant, indeed. It is 'very wide and rather expensive as well, so that it is not, likely to become common.' Jewel Shades. These jewel-shades in rich silken fabrics have not been equaled in anything shown before. Burnt toopaz is a remarkable shade of deep rich yellow, Ruby is the deep red of the popular dinner gown. Amethyst in these soft qualities of wonderful dress silk is more pale than purple. The turquoise is a heavenly shade and aqua marine is an indescribable pale green. Child's Tucked Guimpe. The simple little gulmpé that is tucked to form its own yoke is always a pretty one for the younger children. This season it is being made from dotted, embroidered and cross-barred muslins as well as from plain, but it is always the same simple little garment. This one is made with moderately full sleeves that are gathered into bands, and they can be made either to the wrists or to the elbows as liked. It can be finished with a collar or in Dutch style, so that it allows considerable variation at the same time that it is absolutely simple. The model is made of mercerized batiste, with collar and cuffs of lace banding, but embroidery could be used for these last or they could be scalloped or embroidered with little lids, such finish being very fashionable and very dainty as well as durable. The gulmpé is made with front and back portions. The sleeves are in 1 one piece each, gathered into bands. The closing is made at the back by means of buttons and buttonholes. The quantity of material required for the medium size (four_years) is one and seven-eighth yards twenty-one or twenty-four, one and a half yards thirty-six or one-and a quarter yards forty-four inches wide, with one yard of banding and three-quarter yard of edging.
