Forest Reserves, Merchant Marine, Regulating Injunctions and Federal Incorporation of Railroads Await Action.
Washington, D. C. — It became known that before going to Beverly President Taft insisted that all left-over business be taken up early in the next session of congress. The program already prepared is as follows:
To create the Appalachian and the White mountain forest reserve; to build up the merchant marine by a system of ship subsidies; to regulate the granting of injunction; the permit the federal incorporation of railroads and other common carriers; to regulate the issues of stocks and bonds of transportation companies; the enactment of additional conservation measures, eight bills remaining without action; to establish a bureau of public health; to encourage the study of agriculture and the mechanical arts, for which an appropriation of $10,000,000 is proposed; a form of civil government for Alaska; modification of the Sherman anti-trust act; codification of the postal laws and reorganization of the postal system; a plan for the retirement of civil service employees and to expedite legislation in the federal courts.
NEW CHRISTIANITY.
New Religion Places History Above the Revealed Word.
Chicago, ill—Members of the University of Chicago divinity school faculty have defined and formulated the characteristics of a new Christianity. These professors who have been widely attacked for their higher criticism and who for years have regretted the misinterpretation of their beliefs note the arrival of a new type of religion.
In an anonymous editorial in a religious publication, responsibility for which is accepted by the editors, the university authorities point to the coming of the "new Christianity as a type of faith which shall result in the releasing of men's minds from the bonds of tradition and creed," accept the results of scientific study of the world and deal in every day works more than in theological subtleties. The religion is described as "scientific, ethical, practical and altruistic." After stating the necessity of scientific study, the author of the edi-
After stating the necessity of scientific study, the author of the editorial proceeds:
"If there be a controversy between Genesis and geology the new Christianity will stand with geology. The record left in the strata of the earth can not be impugned by a poet of prescientific age, even though that poet be also a prophet of a higher conception of God than had before his day prevailed. In conformity to the same principle the new Christianity will accept the assured results of historical investigation into the records of ancient times. Religion has its rights, but so also has history, and one of these is that it be studied by historical methods."
AEROPLANNE RACE RULES.
For Chicago to New York Contest
Prize Will Be $25,000.
Chicago, N. Y. -Rules and regulations to govern the proposed. $25,000 aeroplane race from Chicago to New York were made public here.
The contest is to begin at Chicago on October 8, with not less than three entrants, who must have previous records of sustained fights of an hour or more.
Adverse weather may delay the start until October 15. The time limit of the race is seven days, the contestants being allowed to make as many stops as their discretion will countenance. All must start on the same day, the intervals between their taking flight to be considered in determining the winner.
The winner must make the flight before any flight of the same or greater distance has been made in any part of the country.
Mills Close For Repales.
Chattanooga, "Tenn—The Davis hoalery 'mills at Avondale, employing about 400 operatives, have closed down for two weeks. The reason given is that the machinery is badly in need of repairs. The mills operated by this company at South Pittsburg, Winchester and Nashville,Tenn., and Fort Payne, Ala., closed down at the same time.
Fifteen-Cent Cotton Assured.
Montgomery, Ala.-Holding to the view that there will be no more cotton made this year than will be needed and that 14 to 15 cents is none too high a price, as it costs almost that much to make the staple, the commissioner of agriculture of Alabama, is out in an appeal to the farmers that the time is upon them not to hold cotton for future delivery, saying it will be suicidal.
The injury to the crop by the very heavy rains, following upon the fact that it is already 10 days late, is basis for the believe, coupled with the fact that there is no increase in acreage, that every-bale made is going to be needed this fall at a good price.
THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO, 462 WEST BROAD STREET.
SOUTH'S POPULATION.
Including Missouri and Oklahoma Gain is 21 Per Cent
Washington, D. C.-That the census of 1910 will show the southern states, including Missouri and Oklahoma, to have made a gain in population of 21 per cent since 1900 is the estimate of the southern commercial congress. The congress estimates that population to be 32,415,297. The gain of other states of the union during the same period is estimated by the congress to have been 13 1-2 per cent.
The five states of the south which have made the greatest gain in population, according to the estimate, are Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Georgia and Alabama. Oklahoma is said to have gained 1,250,000. The figures were based upon provisional estimates of the census bureau.
TO BAR FIGHT PICTURES.
Many Cities Will Stop Exhibition of Prize Fight Pictures.
Atlanta, Ga.-The Jeffries-Johnson prize fight pictures will not be allowed to show in Atlanta.
Announcement to this effect was made by Mayor Maddox and Chairman of Police Commission Carlos Mason, who stated that they would use their best endeavors to prevent them being put on in Atlanta.
Washington, D. C.-Moving pictures of the Jeffries-Johnson fight may be barred from the District of Columbia.
Police Chief Sylvester has announced that he will do his utmost to prevent the films from being shown here. He fears a repetition of the race riots which took place on the streets when it became known that the negro had won.
Baltimore, Md.-Backed by the authority of the board of police commissioners, Marshal Farnan will request Mayor Mahool to prohibit the proposed exhibition in Baltimore of the moving pictures of the Jeffries-Johnson fight. The mayor says that with formal complaint before him he will stop the pictures.
The action by the police commissioners was taken following the submission by Marshal Farnan of reports showing the widespread rioting all over the country, including Baltimore, and the frequent clashes between whites and blacks.
Cincinnati, Ohio.-Mayor Schwab said he will not allow the Jeffries-Johnson fight pictures to be shown in this city. He declared the pictures would promote race hatred and for that reason he would bar them.
New York City. — Mayor Gaynor said that the Jeffries-Johnson fight pictures could be shown here, so far as he is concerned. He had no more right to stop the pictures, he said, than to stop publication of the story of the fight.
Los Angeles, Cal.—Mayer Alexander sent a message to the legislation committee of the city council urging an ordinance designed to prevent boxing bouts of every description in public.
"It may be all right to permit amateur boxing contests in athletic clubs, where no admission fee is charged," the message says, "but prize fighting as a business must be stopped."
The committee will meet to consider an anti-fight measure that will stop the 4, 6 and 10 rounds now permitted here.
Boston, Mass.—William S. Shaw, general secretary of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, announced the beginning of a campaign against the exhibition of the prize-fight pictures.
Telegrams calling attention to the race riots which followed in the wake of the fight were dispatched to former President Theodore Roosevelt, Governor Charles E. Hughes and Mayor William J. Gaynor of New York, asking their co-operation in the movement for the suppression of the pictures. Mayor Fitzgerald will be seen and asked to prevent the exhibition in Boston. In a day or two telegrams will be sent to the governors of all the states making a similar request.
U. C. V. GUEST OF G. A. R.
Gray and Blue Fraternizing In Massa-
chussette-Vets, GCheered
Springfield, Mass.—A company of confederate veterans, 70 of whom fled through the streets of Springfield, through the streets of Springfield, cheered at every step. They were the guests of E. K. Wilcox post, A. R. of Springfield, and were members of the A. P. Hill camp of Confederate Veterans of Petersburg, Va. After the parade through the streets, the Blue and Gray gathered at Memorial Mall, where they joined together in a genuine old fashioned camp fire. The visitors are to remain in Springfield until the middle of next week.
INDIAN COTTON CROP.
4,502,000 Bales of Cotton Grown in India Past Year.
Washington, D. C.-The East Indian cotton crop for the agricultural year 1909-10 will be 4,502,000 bales, an increase of 911,000 bales over last year's yield, according to the final memorandum of the East Indian government, submitted to the state department.
The total area under cotton in all territories of East India this year is 20,227,000 acres, a net increase of 228,000 acres over last year. This area is about 60 per cent of the area planted in the United States, which, according to the last government report was estimated at 33,196,000 acres.
SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1910.
AMERICANS ATTACKED
BY AN ITALIAN MOB
Baptist Missionaries . In Italy Rescued By Soldiers.
AMERICAN AMBASSADOR PROTESTS
The Missionaries Fled to a Church, Where They Were Beselged For Hours
Rome, Italy—The American ambassador, John G. A. Leischman, has brought to the attention of the premier and the foreign office the situation arising from recent attacks made upon the missionaries in the province of Avellano.
At the time of the outbreak in that district, early in June, James P. Stuart of St. Louis, representative of the American Board of Baptist Missions in Italy, and other missionary workers were attacked by a mob and were detached from the district by a detachment of soldiers.
After a conference with Premier Luzzatti at Rome, Mr. Stuart returned to the Avellano district, where another attack was made upon him and his companions. He telegraphed a statement of the affair to the American ambassador, who asked him to come to Rome. This Mr. Stuart did and he had a long conference with Ambassador Leischman. He related further details of the occurrence.
Arriving at the outskirts of the village near Avellane Mr. Stuart and three other missionaries were met by the chief of police, several constables and a dozen soldiers. A howling crowd of natives quickly surrounded the carriage. So demonstrative did they become they could be restrained by force from doing the missionaries' injury. On all sides arose the cry of "Down with the Baptists," and a shower of stones fell about the carriage. Mr. Stuart was hit on the chest, arm and leg, while the chief of police was slightly wounded. The soldiers with fixed bayonets formed a circle around the Americans and protected them to the church. The mob, however, stormed the church until 10 o'clock at night, but doing no serious damage. Other soldiers were called to the scene, and, according to Mr. Stuart, prevented a massacre by the infuriated Italians, who now numbered several thousand.
The besieged missionaries were obliged to remain in the church the whole night. Eventually Mr. Stuart succeeded in sending a telegram to the American ambassador at Rome. The following day a detail of 400 soldiers was sent to the village and the missionaries were released from their dangerous position.
STUDY OF CHILDREN.
Educational Association Points Out Danger Signals in Children.
Boston, Mass—The National Educational Association convention here was divided into eighteen meetings, each assigned to the consideration of a specific topic. Three phases of child study were developed by the kindergarten department and elementary schools department in joint session.
"We have learned that all of the so-called naughtiness of children may be merely danger signals indicating disturbances somewhere," said Maximillian P. E. Crosman of Plainfield, N. J., discussing "Danger Signals in Young Children."
That it is time gifted children be given as much care as the defective and efficient, was the statement of Superintendent Robert J. Alley of Indianapolis.
The forward movements of civilization are never led by average men, he said; they are always under the leadership of an individual who, because of his superior ability, has stepped out and beyond the crowd. Too many leaders of the past have been forced to train themselves in the school of experience. The ordinary school has failed to meet the needs of such students. It is worth more to train the genius to the realization of his possibilities than to bring the deficient child to the height of his capability.
Peabody School Site Selected.
Nashville, Tenn.-At an adjourned meeting of the board of trustees of the George Peabody School for Teachers, recently endowed with a million dollars, by the trustees of the Peabody Education Fund,-Wickliffe Rose was elected president of the school. It was decided to locate the institution on the site of the old Roger Williams University, a negro school, just southwest of the Vanderbilt University campus. No steps were taken in the matter of greeding of buildings.
17 Whiskies Killed Man.
New York City—Peter Smith, a husky young worker in Newark, N. J., drank seventeen jiggers of whiskey in succession, thereby winning a bet of $1. As he pocketed the money he fell to the floor unconscious and dled soon after, while being-taken to a hospital.
Bonds Worth $400,000 Missing.
New York City—The grand jury and District Attorney Whitman are investigating the theft of $400,000 worth of railroad bonds from the safe deposit vaults of the Carnegie Trust Company. The missing bonds are reported to have been securities of the Southern Railway.
TO RAISE THE MAINE.
Army Engineers Are Not Sure That Battleship Can Be Raised.
Washington, D. C. Of course the army engineers will do their best to carry out the wishes of congress, twice expressed, that an effort shall be made to raise the wreck of the battleship Maine from the bottom of Havana harbor, where it lies inbedded in twenty-seven feet of silime and ooze. But the engineers are frank to confess they do not know the extent of the task before them and believe the $300,000 appropriation will not be sufficient. So their present idea is to use as much money as may be necessary to make a thorough examination of the wreck and the surrounding bottom of the harbor.
The only known method of raising a ship in the condition of the Maine is to surround her with a coffer-dam, from which the water can be pumped, allowing the hull to be drained and the holes in the bottom closed. Engineering history fails to disclose a coffer-dam of the mammoth proportions that would be required to enclose the Maine, for it must be as long as a city block and as high as a five or six story building from the bottom of the timbers to the top. Its cost would probably exceed the total appropriation.
So what the engineers probably will do is to make a thorough preliminary investigation. Tails will cost a good deal of money and occupy much time. In fact it is reasonably certain that congress will again be in session before the results are known and engineers can tell just how much money it will cost to raise the ship.
JUSTICE FULLER DEAD.
Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court Passes Away.
Bar Harbor, Maline—Melville W. Fuller, chief justice of the United States supreme court, died at his summer home at Sorento, Maline.
His death was sudden, coming as a direct result of heart failure. During the last few days he had apparently been in the best of health.
Melville Weston Fuller was born at Augusta, Maline, on February 11, 1833.
His father was Frederick Augusta Fuller. He was graduated from Bowdoin college, taking the degree of master of arts in 1853, after which he attended a course of law lectures at Harvard. He was given the degree of LL. D. by Northwestern and Bowdoin in 1888, Harvard in 1890 and Yale and Dartmouth in 1907.
Mr. Fuller's first wife was Calista O. Reynolds, whom he married in 1858. On May 30, 1866, he married Mary E. Coolbaugh, daughter of William Coolbaugh of Chicago. Admitted to the bar in 1855, he formed a law partnership at Augusta and dabbed in journalism, becoming associate editor of The Aid, a democratic paper published in Augusta. Turning to politics he became president of the common council and city solicitor. In 1856, however, he moved to Chicago, where he practiced law until 1888. On April 30 of that year he was appointed chief justice. The appointment was confirmed on July 20 and he took office on October 8, 1888.
Mr. Fuller was regarded as an authority on international law. In 1905 he was a member of the council at The Hague that settled the dispute between Tagland and France as to the rights of the latter's ships to fly the tricolors in the Persian gulf. Mr. Fuller was the representative of Great Britain.
In his early days Mr. Fuller was a warm friend of Stephen A. Douglas, the opponent of Lincoln. One of his most notable speeches was made to welcome Mr. Douglas to Chicago at a great reception in 1860. Among his close friends Mr. Fuller was known as somewhat of a poet, though he was modest about his versifying attalnments.
FOR CONTROL OF CONGRESS.
Both Parties Will Have Headquarters in East and West.
Washington, D. C. In waging their warfare for control of the next congress, both the republican and democratic campaign committees will have headquarters in the east and west, where will be done the work of directing and sending out literature and spellbinders. The electors will be active in three places—Washington, Chicago and St. Louis. Under the direction of Representative Lloyd of Missouri, the far west and the southwest will be handled through the St. Louis office, while the interests of the middle west and the northwest will be looked after from Chicago.
Representative McKinley of Illinois, the republican chairman, expects to open headquarters in Chicago and New York. The republican committee will work with and through the League of Republican Clubs organized during the last campaign by John Hayes Hammond.
LIFE SENTENCE FOR DR. HYDE
Until Appeal is Heard Hyde Will Not Go to Penitentiary.
Kansas City, Mo—Dr. B. C. Hyde, convicted of having poisoned Colonel Thomas H. Swope, the millionaire philanthropist, was sentenced to life imprisonment at hard labor by Judge Ralph S. Lathshaw, in the criminal court here. An appeal to the state supreme court was filed by Hyde's attorney, and until it is taken up by the higher court the prisoner will remain in the county jail here. The doctor and his wife, who had stood by him faithfully, sat side by side and held each other's hands. Judge Latshaw said he could not grant ball.
In Score of Cities Rioting Occurs—Most Serious Outbreaks Took Place in New York and Other Northern Cities.
Reno, Nev.—John Arthur Johnson, a Texas negro, the son of an American slave, is the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
James J. Jeffries of California, the winner of twenty-two championship fights, the man who never before was brought to his knees' by a blow, has passed into history as a broken idol. He met utter defeat at the hands of the negro champion.
While Jeffries was not actually counted out, but was saved only from this crowning humiliation by his friends pleading with Johnson not to hit the fallen man again, and the towl was brought into the ring from his corner. At the end of the fifteenth round Referee Tex Rickard raised Johnson's arm and the great crowd filed out, glum and silent.
Jeffries was dragged to his corner, bleeding from nose and mouth and a dozen cuts on the face. He had a black closed eye and swollen features, and he held his head in his hands, dazed and incoherent.
Johnson walked out of the ring without a mark on his body, except a slight cut on his lip.
The fight was on the square. Of that, there was no doubt after the first round.
There was no evidence or hint of the famous "yellow streak" on the part of Johnson.
Jeffries fought by instinct, it seemed, showing his gameness and his great fighting heart in every round; but he was only the shell of his old self. The old power to take a terrible beating and bore in until he landed the knock-out blow was gone.
Atlanta, Ga.—Rioting broke out all over the country between whites disappointed and angry that Jeffries had lost the fight at Reno and negroes jubilant that Johnson had won.
A white man was shot in Arkansas and a negro was fatally wounded at Roanoke, Va., but the tension that existed everywhere vented itself chiefly in street scuffles. Here and there a knife flashed, and a few scattering shots were fired; but there were more broken heads and black eyes than serious wounds.
In all there were disturbances in eleven cities, from New York, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia in the northeast to New Orleans, St. Louis, Little Rock, and Houston in the south and southwest. In no case did the brawls amount to a serious race riot. There was more rioting in the city of New York, almost than in the whole country combined. In New York disgruntled whites fired a negro tenement; at Mounds, ill., a negro constable was killed and another man wounded; street rioting broke out in Kansas City and Norfolk, and two negroes were shot at New Orleans.
FOOTBALL DENOUNCED.
Game Denounced by David Jordan at Educational Convention.
Boston, Mass.—Denouncing college football as a combination of pure brutality and pugilism that appealed to the love of the sordid, David Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stanford University, led in the discussion that followed a report made by the committee on moral education in public schools to the national council of education of the National Educational Association in convention here. He added:
"Some day the college presidents and school boards of this country will perhaps be called cowardly and brutal because they did not put a stop to the dangers of football, a sport that destroys the best there is in American youth."
The game, he continued, aroused the same love of the sordid that focused the interest of the country on "a ring away out in far Nevada, where a black man and a white man were pounding each other.
President Jordan favored the substitution of the English game of rugby.
TOWNS FOR INDIANS.
Grandson of Sitting Bull at Head of Progressive Movement. Oklahoma City, Okla.—Indian chiefs attending big gun or willow dances at Big Jake's Crossing near Clinton, Okla., announced that they had decided to build a number of towns in which only Indians would be permitted to live. It is believed this would do much to break up the roving habit among the red men and give them opportunities in an economic way. J. W. Strongheart, grandson of Sitting Bull, in advocating reforms among the Indians, said more religion and less politics was needed in the Indian missions and schools.
RAILROAD BLOCK SYSTEMS.
2,080.1 Miles of Track of Southern Railway is Equipped With Safety Appliance.
Atlanta, Ga.—The bulletin just issued by the Interstate Commerce commission, giving the mileage of railways in the United States operated by the block system on January 1, 1910, shows that two thousand and eighty miles of track on the Southern railway, constituting thirty percent of the entire mileage of the system, is now equipped with this safety appliance. Included in this are the entire main line from Washington to Atlanta and on to Birmingham, the line from Bristol to Chattanooga, that from Chattanooga to Atlanta and Macon, and other important sections. In the entire United States there are only seven railway systems with a greater mileage so operated than has the Southern. No other railway in the south operates anything like so large a mileage with the block system.
The system in use on the Southern railway is what is known as the "telegraph block." Suitable semaphore signals are erected at intervals of about five miles along the road to guide the engineman in the control of his train. The space between these signals is called a block and two passenger trains are under no circumstances permitted in a single block at the same time. The working of this system may be best explained by taking two block stations, Gainesville, Ga., and Oakwood, Ga., for example. A train approaches Gainesville bound for Atlanta. The operator at Gainesville asks the operator at Oakwood if he can have the block for the approaching train.
If there are no trains between Galenville and Oakwood the operator gives the required permission and both operators make a record of the time, train number, etc. The operator at Galenville then clears the signal by pulling it down to an angle of about sixty degrees below horizontal, after the train comes in sight. That is called "clearing" the signal and is done after the train comes into sight to assure the engineer that the signal is cleared for him and he will not proceed into the block unless he sees it go "clear." This ensures him that he is not taking a signal given a preceding train. As soon as the train passes the signal the operator returns the signal to a horizontal position, this indicates danger, stop, and it remains in this position as long as the train is in the block. It will be noted that two men, one at each end of the block, must co-operate to allow a train to enter, this provides a check which effectually prevents mistakes, it being unlikely that two men would make the same mistake at the same time.
To install this system has necessitated the employment of a large number of additional telegraph operators and the expenditure of a large amount of money for line wire signals, etc., but the officials of the Southern railway believe that the expenditure is warranted because of the safety it affords their patrons from accidents due to collisions.
Washington News.
In a laudible effort to encourage the investment of American capital in Porto Rico and diversity the industries of that territory, the bureau of insular affairs has issued a statement presenting in ailuring terms the possibilities of growing, manufacturing and exporting coconuts and their by-products. It is said the nut thrives better there than anywhere else in the West Indies; that the trees grow wild along the sandy coast, requiring no care and thrive where other trees would die. A tree produces one hundred nuts per year, sold on the tree at 1 cent each, or when gathered at $18 to $20 per one thousand; and they sell at a profit of more than 100 per cent in New York.
The postoffice department has notified United States Senator LeRoy Percy that the installation of about seventy-five new rural free delivery, routes in Mississippi, for which applications were approved some time ago, will be immediately commenced.
On the success of a speech-making tour of the south, which Senator Aldrich will make early in the fall, will depend the decision as to whether a bill for the reform of the currency system will be Introduced in congress at the next session. This trip has been decided upon by President Taft and Senator Aldrich. Senator Aldrich's western tour was not regarded as successful in bringing about a final verdict. If sentiment in the south proves to be favorable to a central bank, it is probable that a currency reform bill will be introduced next January, thus giving Senator Aldrich an opportunity to start the bill on the ways of congress before his retirement on March 4.
Meyer B. Newman of Washington, who, according to his wife's suit for limited divorce, was caarged with having taken but one bath in nearly a year and with having supplied apple ple and five cents worth of crackers for their honeymoon supper, was ordered to pay Mrs. Newman almony, of $60-per month. In open court Newman entered a denial, declaring that he frequently bathed except in cold weather.
The census bureau announced the following reports of population: Lawton City, Okla, 7,783; Bledsoe county, Tennessee, 6,229. The following counties in Texas: Hardin, 12,947; Marlon, 10,472; Mills, 9,694; Titus, 16,422; Tom Green, 17,832; and the following cities of Texas: San Antonio, 10,321; and Abilene City, 9,204.

Reasons Given For Not Buying
Chattanooga Property.
WAS LEFT TO HIS DISCRETION
covetior Brown in Message Gives His Views
on the W. & A. Railway Chattanooga
Terminal Question.
Atlanta, Ga—In a message to the
general assembly, transmitted to both
houses, Governor Brown holds that
the matter of purchasing the three
Proposed tracts for W. and A. termi-
nals near Chattanooga, was left to
his discretion. In support of this he
quotes the concluding clause of the
joint resolution. “By probably a nar-
row .construction,” the governor says
this might be held to refer only to
the third tract. But as “the two ota-
ers are too short for the designated
purpose,” he said that “by necessity;
it applies to all three.”
The governor thinks this view was
intensined by the fact that indica-
tions were quite clear there was no
money for the purchase in the treas-
ury that was not otherwise appropri-
ated,
Governor Brown says he would cer-
tainly Have veoted the resolution had
he been assured his discretion did
mot cover all three tracts.
His objections to the property, per
se, are that it is subject to overicw
in time of freshet; that the physical
junction of the Watkins and Vinson
tracts is too narrow; that a Tennes-
see public road crosses part of the
property; that the lands are below
track level and it would cost upward
of $100,000 to level them; and that
the city of Chattanooga is quite like-
ly to annex the property some day
soon, which would mean city taxation
on it.
Governor Brown quotes Attorney
General Hart’s opinion that “in view
of these conditions (which the gover-
nor had recited) there is no mofey
in the treasury” for the purchase ot
tie lands.
‘The whole proposition to convert’
the present terminals in Chattanooga
to other purposes is disapproved by
Governor Brown on grounds of expe-
diency. -
“It we take steps to abdicate the
advantage—I might almost say su-
premacy—we have in location at
Chattanooga, why should we not do so
in Atlanta?” he says. =
Ha would not approve selling the
state railroad,” he says.
“I have always held to the view
that the state should never consider
the question of selling the Western
and Atlantic railroad,” says he. “Fur-
thermore, in my opinion, no lease
contract should ever be made for a
longer: period than 30 years, for the
state ought to take back the road at
least one time in the life of each

generation and adjust it to the then
prevailing conditions of commerce and
the lke.” =
This expression by the governor is
gratuitous to the discussion, in which
no proposition is involved to sell the
W, & A. railroad.
Governor Brown says that if th2
legislature is irresistibly moved to
buy land “for building or repair shops
near Chattanooga,” it may consider a
tract which he suggests. That is
known as the Evans property, near
Boyce station, It cover 234 1-2 acres.
Chickamauga creek runs through it,
and on it, says he, is a spring with
2,000,000 gallons daily flow, insuring
plenty of water “for all purposes
needed for saops and the ‘like.” He
has secured an option on this prop-
erty, says he, till August 1, from H.
Clay Evans, for $58,500—as against
$69,000 for 87 acres in the three
tracts that the resolution covered. He
asks the’general assembly to name a)
committee to investigate this prop-
erty.
THROUGHOUT GEORGIA.
Hon, Hewlett A. Hall, chairman of
the democratic executive committee,
while in Atlanta, discussed more in
detail tae rules of the committee
which will govern the primary of Au-
gust 23, and especially the rule in
regard to prorating the vote. When
the next meeting of the subcommit-
tee is held, the rules governing the
selection of judges and solicitors will
be again reviewed and made to con-
form ‘as closely as possible to the
practice in the past. Heretofore all
contests for judge and solicitor have
been settled by the aggregate vote of
the circuit affected, this vote being
consolidated and the announcement of
the result made to the state conven-
tion. It is expected that this same
Vian will, as far as possible, be fol-
lowed under the new approtionment
rule, so that the action of the con-
vention will be purely a formal rati-
fication of the result in each judicial
circuit.

Rules For Prolonging
The Farmer Likely to Be the Ultimate Loser, Whatever Happens.
F. G. S. (Springfield, Vt.): Some time ago the papers published rules formulated by famous physicians for prolonging life to one hundred years. Could you give me those rules? Although this earth is "a valley of tears," the number of men and women anxious to prolong their abode on it is very considerable. These people do not deal with logic too seriously. If you ask them about the joys of existence they will tell you that it has none whatever, that life is not worth living, that "to shuffle off this mortal coll" was "a consumption devoutly to be wished," but in the next moment, upon learning of the discovery of the means of prolonging life to one hundred years at least, they will eagerly seek to get hold of the marvellous specific in order to prolong their so much depleted existence.
As a matter of fact, there *As no mortal that does not envy Methusaleh*, who, as is known, reached the age of 960 years, although such a desire would be perfectly irrational, for in the long run the spectacle of this world must become very tiresome, as is proved by the indifference manifested by old people to everything that interests and agitates the men of forty. But what's the use preaching in the wilderness? Rather let us see how paying the debt to nature may by some ingenious method be delayed for a good number of years.
Lord Wemyss, the well known member of the English Parliament, the other day celebrated the anniversary of his ninetieth birthday, and on that occasion gave some good advice to those who would like to reach the same age. To this end, says our authority, we must be temperate; sleep eight hours, and this so by night only; eat well and rich food, and be given to sporting. So far the lord does not tell us anything new. He, however, adds naively that all this will be of no avail if we have not been careful in the selection of our parents. To reach his age we are furthermore told we must remain all our life in the habitual milieu where we were born and raised, and in the same conditions, for then only we are not subject to changes that wear out alike body and mind. It must be said that the lord himself little changed his habits. For sixty-seven bears he sat in Parliament, for fifty bears he was engaged in forming a volunteer corps, and for eighty years long he had every morning for his breakfast tea, ham and eggs and fresh salads. It is obvious that a common mortal not having Lord Wemyss' annual income of £20,000 or so cannot profit much by his well meant advice.
Much simpler and easier to follow are the rules for prolonging life recommended by the famous French hygienist, Payes. They are: First, be chaise. Second, take much exercise; eat, but a light breakfast; have for your dinner fresh salads, potatoes and rare roast; go early to bed and sleep long. This method is not much complicated, and, with the exception of the roast, the very poorest can follow this diet. As regards its value from the point of view of longevity, there is nothing in particular to either recommend or refute. Besides, we do not depend on it alone, and have in this matter rather the embarrassment of choice. The secrets of long life abound, and the persistence of a certain average rate of mortality must be attributed to people's bestest of profiting thereby.
Thus, for instance, two or three years ago an English physician of Birmingham, Sir James Sawyer, probably repenting for having launched some of his patients too quickly on the great voyage, wanted to make amends for his involuntary wrongs by publishing an infallible method of reaching a very old age. It is summed up in the following rules: 1. Eight hours' sleep. 2. Sleep on your right side. 3. Keep the windows of your bedroom open all night. 4. Do not have your bedstead against the wall. 5. No cold tub in the morning, but a bath at the temperature of the body. 6. Take exercise before breakfast. 7. Eat but little meat and
Since the beginning of the present unwarranted agitation regarding the cost of living city papers have been inquiring "Who gets the money?" While this may be a fair and logical question it is being answered in a manner decidedly unfair to the producer. The farmer is accused not only of pocketing the big end of the increase, but also of demanding prices but of all proportion to the expense involved in production. In both instances the accusers are wrong, and because of inexcusable ignorance of conditions. While the farmer may be receiving higher prices for his products than formerly he is entitled to them. The cost of production on the farm has not been standing still while that of the shop and factory have increased. These same conditions have existed upon the farm, and in some respects to even a higher degree than in the case of other manufactories.
The farmer is yet receiving no more than his due. But if he was it would be no more than right considering that he is the man who always suffers most from agitations concerning economic problems. Every time these sensational crushes occur, whether it be on the cost of living, an intended
see to it that it be well cooked. 8. (For adults.) Drink no milk. 9. Eat plenty of fat, to feed the cells which destroy the germs of disease, and avoid intoxicants, which destroy those cells. 10. Daily exercise in the open air. 11. Allow no pet animals in your living room; they are liable to carry disease germs. 12. Live in the country if you can. 13. Have frequent change of occupation. 14. Take frequent and short holidays. 15. Limit your ambitions, and, 16. keep your temper.
It is evident that the Birmingham physician was a friend of mankind and inspired by the best motives, but it is also true that his recipe can only be applied to the well-to-do. The method proposed by another physician, Dr. Bullison, of Toledo, will better suit those poor devils who have nothing to eat, as its principal feature consists in frequent and prolonged fasts. Dr. Bullison assures us that up to the age of fifteen man has eaten sufficient so. as to enable him to live for a hundred years on his own organism, and that hunger was a disease that we ourselves cultivated by our bad habits. Dr. Bullison himself takes but one repast every twenty-four hours, and lives exclusively, on fruits and vegetables; but as he considers even this alimentation too excessive, he tries to counteract its sad effects by fasting from time to time for a couple of weeks, feeding only on water and fresh air. His happiness would be perfect if our social laws were less severe against those who are fond of the costume worn by—Adam. Nevertheless, he finds comfort in the thoughts that there is no law to prevent him from dressing in his own house in the fashion popular in the Garden of Eden. Although Dr. Sawyer, Dr. Bullison and other inventors of methods of living as long as Methusaleh are equally convinced of the superiority of their respective modes of living, it is not likely that they will find many limitators. All these theories are ultimately not worth more than the advice given by some wit who said:
"You want to live more than a hundred years? Nothing easier. Buy a parrot and wait for his death. This animal lives more than a century."
As a matter of fact, while empliricism offers us hundreds of methods of prolonging life to the age of Methuselah, science so far has failed to find a means of adding a considerable number of years to our terrestrial career, though it does not deny the possibility of ultimately accomplishing this feat. As said only the other day by Professor Metchnikoff in an interview on this subject: "There is no doubt that the man of the future will be able to prolong his life. To attain this end, however, we must first know all the causes of aging. These causes are not yet perfectly determined. We try to find them out, and mankind, for the time being, must content itself with hoping." . .
But we must not in this respect allow hope to get the better of reason by expecting the unrealizable. Long-gevity is intimately bound with three kinds of circumstances. Some spring from heredity, others from social hygiene and others again from individual hygiene. There are families who live long, others who die young. As we cannot chose our parents, there is no means of escaping the fatal consequences of heredity. It is, however, certain that in the better organized societies of the future the number of epidemic diseases will diminish. Phthisis, typhoid fever, cholera and eruptive fevers will, owing to general hygiene, become less fatal. Finally individual hygiene, which consists in living an active physical life, will facilitate the individual to avoid the causes that tend to shorten existence. Beyond these principles there are but ingenious theories which we should be careful not to take for verified truths.—New York Tribune.
More than 20,000 twenty-candle power incandescent lamp filaments can be made from a single pound of tantalum.
prosecution of the packers or what not, the farmer must foot the bills. It is his business that suffers most—not that of the food distributor and retailers. As a result of the recent agitation the price of live meat animals took an unexpected tumble of from four to fifteen per cent. Such a drop was precipitated all along the line in the short space of but a few days. The decline comes without warning and the producer is caught. He pays the bill which by rights should fall to the irresponsible calamity howler, the professional agitator and the backers of yellow journalism.—The Farmer's Review.

A Mode Which is Unusually Popular
This Season.
Fancy Blouse.
Closing Invisibly at the Left of tho
Front.
New York City.—No garment is prettier than the over blouse. Just now it is being extensively worn in thin material to match the tallored suit and over-any pretty gulmpe or lingerie waist. This one is peculiarly well adapted to such treatment, although it can be utilized for any en-
5
tire gown of foulard or linen, of bastire or lawn, indeed, for any material that is adapted to treatment of this sort. The sleeves are cut in one with it and consequently there is almost no labor involved in the making. This one is made if chiffon cloth with trimming of messaline, but marquisettes are much liked for the transparent blouse, and as already stated the model can be utilized in numberless ways. Trimmed with soutache as shown in the back view it would be exceedingly smart, and if contrasting material is preferred silk of any sort, either plain with a satin finish or figured, can be used as best suits the foundation material. Dotted foulard on plain fabric is fashionable and pretty.
The over blouse is made with front and back portions and there are shoulder and under-arm seams only, so that making means almost no labor and very little time. The trimming portion for the neck, which gives a yeke effect, is applied over the blouse, and the bands are applied over the sleeves. The quantity of material required for the sixteen year size is three yards twenty-one, twenty-four or thirty-two or one and one-half yards forty-four inches wide, with one-half yard of silk twenty-seven inches wide for trimming.
Bordered Gingham.
One of the newest things is the Scotch gingham in plain color-with a striped border. Gray grounds with black and white stripes, green with lavender or lavender with green stripes, pinks and blues with decker stripes and tans blended with soft browns are among the blends. White linen crash with a colored stripe border is one of the practical things among the linens.
Stamped Waist Patterns.
The stamped waist patterns are extremely daly, and a length of Persian lawn, designed for embroidery in a variety of stitches, such as blind eyelet and heavy satin, includes sufficient floss for working.
SINGLE BREASTED DRESS
A Mode Which is Unusually Popular This Season.
Colored Slips.
Lace-striped dimities made over colored slips or petticoats are quite new. The stripes are sufficiently wide to permit the underneath color to show through. Such dresses need little or no trimming.
Hats Far Down.
The hats are worn far down on the head; they droop at the right, and the proper tilt over that eye is the delicate question.
Embroidery For Sleeves.
To complete the one-piece frock, wide embroidery is brought into use for sleeves and bodice, thus making a perfect garment at less expense than the robe, which is always valued at the high price of exclusive pieces.
Printed Cottons.
Quaintly printed cottonls in old world designs are being made up into blouses for wear with coat and skirt suits, the plain color of the suit being echoed in slight touches on the blouse, or the blouse material finds its way into cuffs and collar on the coat.
Initials and Names.
When working the first name or initial in script upon kerchiefs or underwear, the French now use the same shade of embroidery floss which they have chosen to introduce upon these dainty lingerie articles. Since it has become a fashion to use coarse linen and cotton threads for the embroidery of fine mulls, these heavy threads are split or separated for the working of initials and names.
Polka Dots.
Polka dots provide ornamentation for a plain lawn shirtwaist and enrich the trousseau of a recent bride. The colored dots form a line down the front box pleat and the pleats on each side. They also run down the top of the sleeve and cover the entire four-inch cuff and the attached high collar. A pleating of the plain white material extends down one side of the front pleat, and this is edged with a narrow line of plain color.
A Lovely Robe.
Our sketch shows one of the lovely chiffon robes veiled in gauze. The robe is creamy white with a shaded pink border, while the overdress is a deep pink. A black satin hem makes an effective and practical finish to the skirt.
<Gilt On <Linen.
On many white linen coat suits gilt buttons are used to carry out the military air.' Crochet buttons that are works of art are used sparingly on linen frocks and shirtwaists, and buttons of pleated braid carry out the decorations of many cloth costumes.
Effective Cotton.
Some of the most effective cotton, and cotton and silk volles are spotted or striped in self-color with satin-finished disks. dots or lines.
L.
Fancy Blouse.
Closing Invisibly at the Left of tho Front.
Jewel Framework.
The jewel framework is a feature of the newest models in bags, and the decoration ranges from a simple stone set in the centre to a framework incrusted with jewels throughout its entire length.
Silks For Frocks.
Silks of every sort are being used for frocks. Shantung in the thick weaves, moire and foulard, are much in demand.
THE PULPIT.
A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. JOHN E. ADAMS.
Theme: Hope.
Brooklyn, N. Y.—Sunday night the Rev. John Erkens Adams, pastor of the Ross Street Presbyterian Church, preached the second sermon in a series of three on I. Corinthians 13:18: "Now abideth Faith, Hope, and Love." These are these the Love." The subject last night was "Hone." Mr. Adams said:
The man who wrote these words practiced what he preached. It was he who said: "Brethren, he ye followers together of me." Whenever he pointed up the steep slopes of duty he was ready to jump into the lead and show the way. He was the first to lay himself upon the altar when he enjoined upon others the duty of sacrifice. He never slumbered while others were on the bridge; he never stopped to rest while others were on the march. Men had not only the enlightenment of his counsel, they had the energy of his conduct; not only the illumination of exegesis, but the inspiration of example. Great as was his preaching, the practical illustration in his own life of the things he urges upon others is still greater. Unlike the modern general who, from the distance of miles, perhaps upon some eminence, from which he surveys the entire field of battle, mobilizes and moves his men by semaphore, alde or telephone; himself far removed from danger of strapnel or Mauser. Paul never sounded the charge that he did not plunge into the thickest of the fight. Did he preach Christ as the ultimate ideal and goal for which men should strive? Of himself he says: "Not as though I had already attained . . . But one thing I do—I press toward the mark for the prize."
We are not surprised, then, to find in him the apostle of hope. When he places it among the graces, he does so because it had graced his own life. He can urge upon others the duty and privilege of optimism because he knows what it is to glory in his own infirmities, and count all worldly losses as gains. He ever walks with buoyant and springy step. With him the shadows never lengthen and the night never deepens, it is always day. He walks in the light; he is a child of light; he rejoices in tribulation, and through its leaden skies the star of hope ever shines.
Hope is defined as the desire of some good, accompanied with an expectation of attaining it, or $z$ belief that it is obtainable. It is more than an emotion, therefore, or a wish, or a desire; it is a confidence, an expectation; it almost reaches the stage of conviction. It is the philosophy of optimism; and as such it abides and deserves to abide. We are told that travelers in the Alps, standing upon the "middle ground," see, beneath them, the shadows and vallers and darkly flowing river, and above them the snow-clay heights on which the sun rests long after the valley beneath them, it is possible to sight one time, then it is possible to look down into the shadows or up into the sunshine. Pessimism is the philosophy of the downward look; hope lifts its eyes unto the hills from whence cometh man's help; and believes that the best and not the worst is yet to come.
David was an optimist. In the Forty-second Psalm he is facing a crisis. He cannot stand upon middle ground. He must either descend or ascend; it is the abyss or the mountain top. And so, he lays hold upon the one refuge from pessimism and despair, and calls upon his soul to throw it beyond its cost toward my soul? And why art thou disguised within me? Hope thou thou in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the health of His countenance."
Hope ablides because it is the survival of the fittest. Despondency unifies, humbles, dethrones. It saps the very strength from manhood. Frances H. Burnett in "The Shuttle," gives us the picture of the English lord, sitting hour after hour, holding the wasted hand of one of his common laborers, who is stricken with typhoid fever, and calling back through the power of hope the life that had almost gone out in despair. The great specialist, who has been called in in the hour of crisis, when the faces of the watchers are pale, and fear has frozen the very fountains of life and energy, gives the verdict of "Hope," and instantly the body straightens, the back stiffens, the blood courses through the veins.
Hope is energy. The provisions have failed; the boat leaks, the seas rise, strength is gone, and intolerable thirst alone remains. But, upon the horizon there rise the masts and then the hull of the liner. Hope at once energizes. With the vestige of remaining strength, the distress signal is hoisted, it is seen; it is answered, the steamer's course is changed, and rescue is at hand. Hope is the granitic element of nature. Of Samuel Adams, Bancroft says: "Difficulties could not discourage his decision, nor dangers appall his fortitude. Of despondency he knew nothing; trials only nerved him for superior struggles. His sublime and unfaltering hope had a cast of solemnity, and was as much a part of his nature as if his confidence sprung from insight into the divine decrees, and was as firm as a sincere Calvinist's $f_{i}$ assurance of his election."
Hope is life's song. Once Elliah lost it, and life was paralyzed. Having seen seen slip away from him, he was ready to die. The wilderness is about him and within him. The best thing God can give him is the grave. And this man is not a coward. He has fought to death, on Carmel, Baal's priests. He has won many other battles, but now he is in the grief of despondency, and his imperious spirit is broken. But God calls him from the depths, and when nature's elementary forces, when the wind and earthquake fall to rouse his slumbering soul, the still, small voice of God sings to him the song of Hope, and the prophet is strengthened.
The worst thing that has ever been thought of hell is that in its fiery
dtpths all hope is 'abandoned. So long as the man waits, through the long hours, for the dawn, and so long as he believes that the dawn will come, hell is not ready for him, the celestial gates are still swung wide open.
If hope is all this, then we do well to cultivate it, to cherish it, at all hazards. Better part with anything than it. Better give up your friends than your hopes. Better part with your money. The only man without God in the world is the man without hope. We need to cherish it, for ourselves and for others. The most selfish life in the world is the hopeless life. "Noblesse oblige." It is our duty to help and not to hinder; to lift up and not cast down; to be sign posts along the way, rather than stumbling blocks in the way. There is no influence more blighting in all the world than that of a man who sedulously cultivates the philosophy of despair. He is nothing but a nuisance, and an infernal one at that, because his philosophy is hell-born. He becomes a hinderer rather than a helper. He is-delliberately withholding from others, in their cares and burdens and sorrows, that cheer and themselves which God has meant him to impart. If that alone were true, it be bad enough, but other things are true. he is offending one of God's little ones. he pretends to be his friend, but he is drilling holes below the water line. he is pulling the bricks from the wall and the rivets from the bolts. He is undermining the moral constitution of every one he meets. He is damping men's ardor, he is chilling their enthusiasm, he is putting clouds into clear skies, because he is discounting hope. The further such a man keeps away from his fellow men the better for them. He has no business with them. The only proper place for Elijah was the wilderness and the junius tree when he had ceased to hope. And the only proper place for him when new hope and joy had been born within his soul was back among the sons of men. When our Lord's soul was troubled He was alone, the shades of night were about Him. His disciples slept. When He spoke to other than God it was the message of hope: "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." There is only one heart strong enough to bear the weight of a hopeless soul and that is the heart of God. He alone is the "joy of the comfortless, light of the 'straying, hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure."
The world has no time and no use for the man who has no time and no use for hope. A gentleman on being asked to contribute to the erection of a monument replied: "Not a dollar. I am ready to contribute toward building monuments to those who make us hope, but I will not give a dollar to help perpetuate the memory and influence of those who live to make us despair." The men who find the world waiting for them, responsive to them, grateful for them, are the men who bring into its darkness something of light and into its sufferings and sins, the aleviation and stimulus of hope.
A singer sang a song of tears, and the great world heart and weep. For he was of great powers of fleeting years, and the hopes which the dead past kept;
And souls in anguish their burdens bore, and the world was sadder than before.
A singer sang a song of cheer, and the great world listened and smiled.
For he sang of the love of a Father dear,
For he sang of the love of a Father dear,
and the trust of a little child;
and the trust or a little child;
And souls that before had forgotten to
pray looked up and went singing
along the way.
Perhaps, after all, to those who are listening to-night, it is not necessary to say all this. You know it already. If you don't, it is because you have never yet entered into the joy of your Lord, which is not reserved, simply for the life to come, but is imparted to His followers in the life that now is. It is a joy that you tinket away. For it is the joy that comes from the knowledge not only that in the hiding of God there is safety, but that in the hands of God all things are made to work together for our good. It is the joy of the consciousness that the bars and bolts that once held us in the prison have been withdrawn, and the door has swung open, and we have passed out into the light. And it is the joy that, having passed out into the light there is given to us not only freedom from bondage, but affiliation, the privilege of partnership with God; the power to do and to become. And if we still feel ourselves hedged about by unproptious circumstance, and assailed by the temptation of that illicit self which still clamors for recognition and claims enthancement, that is born within us the hope that out of struggle and defeat, out of strivings and groanings, out of bondage and imprisonment, we are than conquests to come Him who has loved us and redeemed us by His blood. When we receive Christ, who of our Hope, the Bright and Morning Star of Life, we enter into privilege and possession. All things are ours; the world about us, the skies above us; the heritage of soil and the heritage of soul; the deep happiness of proprietorship in the things of the life that now is and the fadeless hope of the life everlasting: All things are ours, for we are Christ's and Christ is God. What place is there for doubt, or despair in such a life? Why should we not, if we believe in Him, who, though unseen, is ever with us, rejoice, with joy unspeakable and full of glory? What matters it that the sorrows of the present seem not joyous, but grievous? They are the light afflictions which are but for the moment, and which work out for us the far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. While we look at the things which are seen, while the shock of the storm is upon us, the cathode rays of hope reveal beneath the deep calm the unseen things which are eternal.
Now abideth hope; its fingers point upward and onward—and God is at the end.
Unfading hope! When life's last embers burn.
When soul to soul and dust to dust return.
Heaven to thy charge resigns the awful hour!
Ob, then Thy kingdom comes! Immortal Power!

» On, you Jack Johnson! O yon
, undisputed champion!
‘Lixr Alexander of old, Jack
Jobnson must weep bécguse he has
“no more worlds to conquer. . —
; SAVANNAI again showed #hat it
is 2 community wherein law reigns
supreme in that we had no such
conflicts as ‘ flisgraced several other
cities when’the ‘news was flashed
that Johnson won oyer Jeffries.
“ AccorDING to arcliable statisti-
cian, one fifth of the population of
a community is of school age.
Savannah has about 46,000 colored
people, This would .mean that
there are at least 8,000 colored
children of school age in this city.
But Oh! You scarcity of- seats in
the public.school! Say, friend, in
all seriousness, something ought to
be done to remedy this sad condi-
tion of affairs.
Sax, you little Sunday School
pupils: that mustard seed, about
which you studied in last Sunnay’s
lesson, had to_ work like the old
boy, drinking in moisture,. shoot-
ing out its roots, and absorbing
sunshine in order to become large
enough for the birds to light on its
wranches. You; too, will have to
work if you are to become great in
any way.-
Sarp Jeffries (after the fight)
“Well. F guess the public _ will let
me alone after this.” Yes, bud,
the public will let you alone, and
we'believe you will let the public
alone, particularly one member of
the public who hails from Galvyés-
ton, Texas—how unnecessary it is
to call names-at times!
Many cities and some states
have put aban oj) the prize-fight
moving pictures, It is asserted
that it is done to. thwart race
clashes and keep down racial feel-
ing- For this reason there is not
the slightest objection, and_ it
meets our hearty approval. But,
suppose the white nian was the
victor would the same thing be
done? Itis hoped that the same
sentiment may prevail and
such plays as the Clansman, étc.,
will be also outlawed.
- Say, boys don’t stop School, un-
less you are compelled to, to work
in an office for three or four dol-
lars a week. Stick to school, learn
a trade, and you will be better off
in,the long run. The boys who
stop school to earn three or four
dollars a week will probably be
earning six or seven dollars a week
twenty years from now.. ‘Of
course, we realize that some must
stop in order to help support their
mother or kinfolks; but remember
that the world is demanding a bet-
ter and higher grade of workman
than evyerbefore. ~ - oe
To You, Mr. Jack Johnson.
Un July 4th., the whole world
watched breathlessly in suspense
pending the outcome of the fight
between the two giant gladiators.
Never before in the annals of his-
tory, has telegraph\vire sent to the
four quarters of the. globe two
words which were received so anx-
iously_as when on July 4tti., was
flashed to the world these two
words “Johnson Wins”
An hour before there stood - he-
fore the vast concourse of spect ~
tors, two men ready for battle;
one, the sonof a minister of the
Lowly Nazarene; the other the son
of a woman who was once a slave.
These men representod the highest
degree of brawn, skill and expe-
-rience, in their vocation, and the
*winner of the boyt would there-
fore be the champion beyond
‘doubt. =
An hour sped by. The huge
black frame of Johnson, still stood
standing as a Colossus, while the
gigantic form of the mighty Jef-
fries Jay prostrate at-his fect, and
‘herein hangs a story
When the tio word, ‘Johnson
wins,” was sent broadcast, there
was a mighty scuffling and com,
motion caused by the wise ones
who kner the fight was framed up,
locating their Beeq among the tall
timber. From ‘ether quarters
came a rumbling noise from those
who had banked heavily in Jeff-
Fies and who were. now seeking
cover While they Sang: “‘I used to-
be afraid to go home ag he dark,
now I am afraid to at all”
‘There, was still a great noise caus-
ed by those who were rejoicing be>

-Now that itis all oyer,we are
glad‘to know flat the best man
Won, that the chatapion of theworld
is represented bya Negro, and
‘that a fair field ant no favor was
the order of the day.,,Johnson
was allowed both hands, he did
not-have one harid tied behind his
back. What would the world think
if he had to’ fight, with one hand
tied? Yet, we asaipeople are coni-
pelled to fight the battle of life
with one hand tied: behind our
back. But let us hope that the
day is not too far distant when we
shall‘ hare both hands freé, and
‘tise or fall on our merit: Here is
‘to Jack Johnson. May his tribe
increase! . : %

Monumental Notes.
Dr. Townsley preached three able sermons last Sunday. As it was communion Sunday, as usual the spirit was in the church and everyone present enjoyed his sermons. The ushers handled the immense crowd in an excellent manner, and they also furnished the members and friends with the "Monumental Guide," their semi monthly church paper. The choir was at its best. The early morning prayer meeting was the means in which the Holy Spirit was drawn into the church, under the leadership of Brother A Garrison. The Sunday School was largely attended and the collections were excellent. The superintendent, Mr. Sherman, and his officials were at their post, and the lessons were discussed briefly. The Pulpit Aid Board will give a grand concert Monday, night, at the church, admission 10, cents.

' Scrub Cows Don't Pay.
If any of the great throng of farm-
ers who aro blindly adhering to scrub
cow breeding’ weré asked why he does
not keep pure breds he would reply
that {t cost too ‘much to start, and
that the purchase of 2 new bull every
two years would eat up a good shard
of the profits. Here are two fallacies
that require some attention. Therd
are many farmers who will not allow
themselves to think beyond the first
cost of a pair of registered calves,
They can not “seo” $100 in a heifer
calf, and wonder how any one van bd
0 foollsh as to “throw away” 50
much money on a calf that the buteh.
er would think dear at $10. But the
buyer of such a calf fs not viewing
the question fromthebutcher’s stand«
point, He does not propose to maka
meat of a registered helfer, but ha
looks ahead to the time when he wilt
have a whole herd of registered
cows, any one of which will be worth
more than dduble as much as tho
serub, whether for dairy purposes or
to sell. -
‘This question of beginning right Is
@ very important one in all walks of
life, but especially to the breeder of
live stock, as the increase in the herd.
soon grows by leaps and bounds and:
the first outlay Is asnothing compared
to the increased -returns in the not
distant future. The writer knows #
dairy farmer who figured out a deat
loss from scrub cows—practical ex-
perfence and no guess work. Ho
made a study of the official butter
records of the different dairy breeds,
and on the strength of that ‘knowl-
edge he invested $700 in threo helf-
ers that were closely related to tho
dest cows of the breed, and that aver-
aged less than thirteen months old.
That was less than’ five years ago, and
he now has a nice little herd of purd
|bréd cows. His cream checks ard
‘opening the eyes of his neighbors,
and he has sold more than $800
worth of registered stock at prices
very much lower than he pald to get
his start. He is booking orders for,
heifer calves before.they are born at
$75 each, and future prospects are
bright for, nice profits from cream and
calves,
He reminds his friends -that th
man who pays $150 for an Jdeal cal
of corn {s not expecting to feed it to
the pigs, but that he coolly computes
its worth as a breeder of high-class
corn, and he is far-sighted enough to
see its influence on future crops,
‘Doubtless there are many farmers
who take a similar view of the grain
and Ive stock problem. They are
thoroughly convinced that it pays to
hare the best, but they are just too
timid to make the start, They may
be brave soldiers, they may be heroes
in many places of danger; but they
have yet to learn’that there is such a
thing as cool, business bravery.
There are places for brave men be-
sides upon battle fields, This is not
a plea for the reckless expenditure of
money’ with one’s eyes shut, but for a
Judicious expenditure after carefully
considering the probable roturns, not
within six months but within a rea-
souable time.
Regarding tho outlay for bulls,
there are some wrong views enter-
tained, It is not always necessary to
buy new one every two years. If
he is'of ‘good vitality and free trom
undesirable qualitiés, his choice
heifers may be bred back to him with
no tear of bad results. ,When the
time comes to dispose of him,.he will
bring enough from the butcher, if
in proper condition, to pay for a bull
‘| calf; so that the total cost of bulls
may be figured in advance to the
price paid for the first one plus tke
cost of feed thereafter. This may
|be reduced by the service tees trom
the neighbors who arg willing to pay
for the usé of a good bull. |
‘This ‘cost of bulls may ba alto-
gether .eliminated by breeding’ to 2
neighhor's bull f,there shouhl bé one
of the, right breed and_ value

league, with six or eight members.
Ever since the Georgia State League's season a few years ago, cities of south Georgia have been wanting professional baseball, but for lack of concentrated efforts nothing was done. The growth of the larger, towns has been such as to furnish a group within easy reach of each other, and steps looking to the forming of a league will undoubtedly be taken this fall. Waycross' present mayor, J. M. Cox, headed the Georgia State league most of the season, and may be induced to take part in the perfection of a six-team league to open in 1911. Bainbridge, Albany, Quitman, Moultrie, Thomasville and Americus have all had teams in the field this season, and at least four of the six could have representation in the proposed league. Waycross, Brunswick and Walosta or Cordelle would complete the organization.

Maxwell has practically instructed a criminal court jury in Jacksonville to bring in a verdict of acquittal in favor of the Florida Live Stock and Fair Association, under the auspices of which the winter race meeting at Moncrief Park, Jacksonville, was held. Bookmakers arrested during the meeting were not present, by reason of which the racing association alone answered the charge of violating the anti-gambling laws. Within six minutes after hearing Judge Maxwell's charge the jury returned a verdict of acquittal. This means that bookmaking in connection with the coming winter meetings in Jacksonville and Tampa will be allowed. The low, however, prohibits bookmaking after 1911.

The nuisance of women's hats at ball games will soon be the subject of legislation if the present demand for their removal does not die down. More man is rising in his wrath and insisting that the fair young tails shall not block his view of a game by planting a huge mass of shapeless flowers and feathers in front of him. It is a funny thing about women that even the best and most unselfish of them seldom show the faintest recognition of the rights of spectators in public places. The bigger, wider and more expansive the top piece the more difficult it is to get her to doff it. It required a state law to persuade women that buyers of seats in the theater are entitled to a view of the stage instead of a huge hunk of millinery and it looks as if legislation would have to be adopted on the subject to protect the patrons of games from the sad case of having their view completely blocked by "creations."

Athletics at the University of Georgia should take on a new life from now on. Frank Anderson has been engaged to coach the Georgia baseball team again next season, while Coach Cunningham, who has been at Barnesville, but, was recently signed by the university, will handle the football team in the fall. With these two competent men at the head of the two important branches of athletics next year, Georgia should be well represented on both the gridiron and the diamond, and should make all the teams look to their laurels.
Bail Players
Get Fabulous
Salaries.
Hans Wagner, of the world's champion Pirates, no one knows what the nightly swatter draws down on pay day. Ty Cobb is accredited with getting $3,000 per season, but whether these are the exact figures or not, is not definitely known. He may get more; undoubtedly he doesn't get less. There are men in the United States senate who do not make as much money as a 'big league baseball player figuring on $3,000 for seven months' work. Carried out on the ratio a Ty Cobb or a Hans Wagner would make nearly $20,000 per year. Frank Chance, the leader of the Chicago-Cubs, gets a round $10,000 a season and so does Christy Mathewson of the Giants. In Matthewson's case his reward is 'greater than most of the others, for he receives this vast pay for pitching in from twenty-five games a year. Larry LeJole of Cleveland always has been a big money-maker since being with the Naps. His actual reward is shrouded in mystery, but it's a safe wager that it is not below $8,000 annually, and perhaps much more. There are scores of men who get from $3,000 to $4,500 a season. This is far higher than the vast major eminent minister's earnings. When 'baseball was young Comiskey, Hudson, White, Anson, Williamson and Ewing were in their early twenties, salaries were not large as compared, to those of today. Many stars were lucky to get $150 a month. Each player in the world's championship games in 1886 between Anson's Colts and Comiskey's St. Louis Browns, got about $41 for their 'take-off' of the receipts. Just imagine Hans Wagner and Ty Cobb smiling at $41 each during the late series between the Tigers and the Pirates.
Explained.
Ty Cobb's
Great Slide
perhaps spiked more players last season than any other three men in his league. Because of his well known ability, because of the high position occupied by the Detroit club in the race, because of the fact that in several cases the men spiked by Cobb were members of teams regarded as Detroit's most dangerous rivals; it was openly stated that Cobb had intentionally spiked these men in order to weaken the Tigers' strongest opponents. But this is not so. While it may often look from the stand as if Cobb is deliberate in his attempts to injure, yet there are few players, if really asked for an honest opinion during the off season, when they are not all excited over the pennant race, who would swear that Cobb tried to put different players out of the running by the use of his steel spurs. Cobb has a slide peculiarly his own. Unlike most others, Cobb doesn't slow down before starting to slide, but hits the turf at almost his full speed. One of his legs is thrown in the direction of the bag, the other usually high in the air, while his body is thrown in the other words' when Cobb goes into the runner has to touch. Thus the spikes on the runner has to touch. Is the feat of touching Cobb is a rather difficult as well as dangerous task. Then, again, there are many basemen who don't, and quite often in trying to safely position them in trying to safely the spot that makes the play dangerous. Cobb's fadeaway slide is the work of an artist. It takes an artist in the art of artistry to the runner to show up Cobb's slide, just as Cobb's slide shows up basemen, who rather fear touching him in order to avoid possible injury. It is always a treat to watch Cobb try to steal third with Bobby Wallace of the St. Louis Brows playing the bar or see him attempt to piller second with Wallace as shortstop taking the throw from the catcher. There are any number of American league infielders who are very clever at touching a base runner, but no one has anything on Bobby Wallace. He is an adept at handling a thrown ball with one hand, and unless the catcher happens to, make a throw that is right on the runner there isn't a chance for Wallace to be spiked. Cobb goes into Wallace with terrific speed. The latter takes the throw in his gloved hand: hooks the ball under Cobb's foot and starts him off in some direction other than the bag. Cobb has often missed the bag at least a foot after being touched out.
As is generally known throughout fandom, an automobile of one of the standard makes will be presented to the champion batsman of the world at the close of the current baseball season. In other words, the player who hits for the highest percentage in the National and American leagues, collectively will get the benzine cart, Cobb, Speaker, Wagner and Lajoie are practically sure to be fighting at the finish, although Wagner is at present hitting like an amateur.

Say what you please, but the Sally race is the most interesting race published just at present. The three first the second teams are well within the running.
Because he picked the St. Louis Browns as possible pennant winners in the American league a prominent Detroit business man has been placed in a retreat by his relatives. He had been acting strangely for some time, but it was not until he wanted to bet a group of friends $10 each that the Browns would cop the bunting, that the certainty of its mind being unhinged 'impressed itself' on his associates. The Browns played in Detroit recently and their exhibition, was such that no, same, man would, have offered to bet on their finishing higher than eighth.
A few months before the Grand Lodge session the Grand Master sent out a request for donations for the repairing of the Home. This request was sent to every lodge in the jurisdiction. Many of the lodges responded liberally, but the others paid no attention to the request. To these delinquent lodges, it is urged that they act at once in order that when the work of repairs is finished, the contractor can be paid in full.
Since the Grand Lodge session several dispensations have been granted for the opening of new lodges. There should be a Masonic Lodge in every prosperous community in the state.
The Eastern Star Grand Chapte-meets August 16th in Americus. It is expected that every chapter in the state will be represented.
Every Masonic Lodge should collect and preserve material for a history of itself.—Masonic Sun.
A very good way to find out what kind of a Mason a man is is to inquire what his wife thinks about Masonry.—Square and Compass.
There are no "short cuts" in Masonry. Every candidate should be regulated to receive the degrees in the usual manner, and after thorough instruction.—Masonic Herald.
Masonry is one of the links in the great chain of human existence. Its influence, upon the hearts of the men who have come within its dominion and who have come under the warm sunlight of its affection is among the most benign offered to mankind it has been a source of light to all men in all countries, and its teachings the most rational and intelligent in aiding to create the highest order of moral ethics. Man's highest duty is to family, his country, and God, and these Masonry has always championed. The one important thought among the craft should be the moral influence it exerts upon the community, and the great body politic. We should be proud that we occupy so enviable a place in the hearts of our fellowmen and our fealty in the future to society and God will depend upon our devotion to all the tenets and precepts of our beloved fraternity. Edwin J. Farr, G. M. of Wisconsin.
If Masonry is to be of any benefit to us and attract other men we must live up to its teaching which is to help us to live better lives, have nobler thoughts and creates in us an ideal toward which we must strive to attain. To act on the square in all our dealings, to be real friends to all in need, to bind our brothers so close to us that they and we ourselves will be needed in our long-to make it a pillar of strength and an influence for great-good. Let us strive to maintain those Masonic virtues brotherly love relief and truth and remember that we belong to the great brotherhood of man—Masonic Bullein (Des Molines, Iowa.)
BROTHERHOOD.
I have heard and read a great deal about brotherhood, but, have seen very little of it. That things are not as they ought to be. is because we have not yet comprehended the meaning of the word "brother." What is needed, today, more than expansion of Knowledge, commerce, missionary work, is the expansion of the word "brother," the expansion of the word "affection." One word we need today more than any other is the word "broaden." Narrowness still lives—the besetting sin of the church. We are weighed down, kept down by dogma. We dub this man Protestant, that man Catholic and that man Jew, until we fail to recognize in him a son of God and a brother of our own. We do a great deal of preaching of the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God, but we see little of it. I am glad to be able to say that there is one body of men where this broadening spirit is found—the fraternity of Masons. There, upon a common platform, all men are accepted, greeted and aided as brethren—Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf.
GOOD SAMARITAN GRAND LODGE.
State Grand Lodge No. 17, L. O. G. S. and D. of S., held its annual session week before last in Washington, Ga. A large number of delegates were present and the good people of Washington did everything possi- to make it pleasant for the visitors. Right Worthy Grand Chief, L. W. Beasley of this city presided in his own inimitable manner, and could be found always on the side of the law, and was able to call everybody down who was not within its pale. Much legislation was done for the good of the order. The endowment department was found to be in excellent condition. A large amount of money was paid out during the year for death claims, and there is on bond a neat balance.
Mrs. Mary Hardde, P. G. P. D.
During the year Grand Chief Beasley expects every officer and lodge to do full duty, and he is already at work reminding them of their duty.
- 8. MARK'S LODGE, NO. 59.
The banner lodge of the state celebrated St. John's Day, with the pastor and members of Atoc. A. M. E. Church, Dawson, Ga., June 26th.
At 11 o'clock a. m. Dr. T. P. Parks our esteemed marshal, had over one hundred and eighty Masons in line marching with steady step and undaunted courage towards the designated place of worship. When we arrived at the church we were greeted by the pastor, Rev. J. H. Hall, and a large congregation who were anxiously awaiting our arrival. We can never forget the melodious sonnets sang by that very efficient choir, which added much to the glorious meeting. When the craftmen were all seated the marshal turned them over to that master-builder, J. W. Weston, W. M., who introduced the speaker of the day in the person of Rev. A. J. Wilkinson, Presiding Elder of the Rome District, who captivated the entire audience with one of his masterly sermons. He is truly a man of God. If all of our preachers and leaders were such men as Elder Wilkinson who preaches the gospel of Christ, unadulterated, teaches truth and honesty to all men and practiced it, we would soon take the world for Christ. The Sisters of the O. E. S., with their presence and several good papers, added much to the occasion. Always remember, brethren, that the woman must be in it, or else our way will be gloomy.

Atlanta, Ga., April 1, 1910. Some time last fall one D. L. Benton, colored, five feet and ten inches in height; weight about one hundred and seventy-five pounds; his color was light brown, ran away from Sylvester, Ga., after making away with money entrusted to him by the colored Masonic lodge there. Being left without means, we are not able to offer a reward, but if any person or persons know of his whereabouts they would confer a favor upon Green Mountain, Lodge, Sylvester, Ga., and justice of the state of Georgia, by letting L. W. Woodard, Sylvester, Ga., box 14, know. All weekly papers please copy and assist us in breaking these lodge thieves.

HINTS.
A cheap disinfectant to use in scrubbing or washing utensils in a sick room is made by adding a teaspoonful of turpentine to every bucket of hot water. Turpentine is a powerful disinfectant and will dispel all bad odors. Hair-brushes and clothes-brushes are instantly cleaned by dipping the bristles up and down in gasoline, and they are not softened or yellowed as they are when washed in water. Stand on end in the fresh air to dry. In filling reading lamps a small funnel which fits down into the opening is a great-saving of time and patience to the busy house mother. The oil can then be poured without danger of spilling and half the bother of lamp filling averted.
Coffee stains on a woollen blouse may be removed by the use of glycerine. Rub it over the stain, and then wash the place with lukewarm water and iron the material on the wrong side till it is dry.
To clean gold lace buy some rock ammonia, pound it finely and apply it with a piece of clean flannel to the lace, rubbing briskly. After thorough brushing the lace will look as good as new.
Very attractive covers for the baby carriages are made of white linen or crash, with figures of children and animals stenciled or cut from cloth and appliqued into place.
The embroidery hoop will be as useful to the mender as to the more dainty fancy worker.
To clean match marks from paint- wood, rub the spot with a cut lemon. Then, to prevent more from being made, rub a little vaseline on the places most likely to be used for striking matches. Rub in well and then rub off with a cloth. An easy way to bake potatoes for one, doing light housekeeping or getting an occasional lunch in her room: Place an asbestos mat on top of an oil stove or heater. Put on the potatoes--covered closely with a basin and allow from 40 to 60 minutes for baking; turning once or twice.
Cut the tripe into small pieces. Slice two onions and brown lightly in a tablespoonful butter. Add the tripe, cover with broth and stew gently until tender. Put one teaspoonful of flour in a basin with a tablespoonful curry powder, then stir in slowly one-half cupful cream and a scant cupful broth. When quite smooth stir the curry in with the tripe, boil a few moments longer, until thickened; turn out on a hot dish, garnish with toast points or fried croustons and serve.—Emma Paddock Telford.

Washington
President Tatt lost no time in ap-
pointing the members of the Fine
Arts Commission. The members are
Daniel H. Burnham, an architect.
Thomas Hastings, architect, of New York; Daniel C. French, sculptor, of New York; Frank D. Miller, painter, of New York; Cass Gilbert, architect, of New York, and Charles Moore, of Detroit. Colonel Spencer Cosby, Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds, has been appointed secretary. In view of the opposition of Speaker Cannon the creation of this commission is regarded as a triumph for the President. Such a commission has been needed. It is to be an advisory body, to serve without compensation, and will serve the officials in Washington in everything pertaining to architecture, the improvement of the city and other affairs which call for artistic judgment.

Were an epidemic of such character as to necessitate the amputation of one or both iaws, to inflict untold suffering and to be characterized by an almost intolerable odor
try, every resource of money, science and legislation would be taxed to check it. The causes would be exploited in the press, the agonies of the sufferers depicted ingraphic form and the severest condemnation would be visited on any who willfully militated against its eradication. And yet just these things, men, women, women and even children, are both poisoned after incalculable suffering, having their jaws amputated, and even when healed are going through life frightfully disfigured, and all because a lethargic Congress cannot be induced to regulate the manufacture of matches, and the compelling forces of competition drive the manufacturers to use a poison which produces these horrible conditions, which could be easily avoided by an increase of five per cent. in the cost of production.

The Panama Exposition.
exposition. There has been sharp division in the House, and members have lobbed unceasingly in favor of one or the other city. The question came sharply before the committee through the reference to it of two resolutions, one inviting the nations of the earth to take part in an exposition at San Francisco, the other in an exposition at New Orleans. Reluctant to take sides between the rival camps, the committee decided to place both cities on their mettle, and in case both should qualify in accordance with the decision reached the child will be divided. The committee decided that any city which shall raise $7,500,000 may hold an exposition to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal, and if both San Francisco and New Orleans reach this goal they two resolutions will be reported inviting the nations to take part in each exposition. The members of the committee are congratulating themselves on their agility, and some of them confidently expect to go down in history as in the Solomon class.
