VOL: XXV. POLITIGS IN TENNESSEE AROUSE INTENSE FEELING Death Struggle Is Now On Between the Factions. PATTERSON STANDS, UNOPPOSED Regular and Insurgent Democrats, and Republicans Are Lining-Up Their Forces For the Struggle Memphis, Tenn.—In every town and village, in every county in Tennessee, from Jackson on the east boundary, to Shelby on the Mississippi river, the state's serious political situation has aroused the most intense feeling. Regular democrats and insurgent democrats and republicans are lining up their forces for the struggle, which comes in August, when the state judiciary and county elections are held. Up to the present time no candidate to oppose Governor Malcolm R. Patterson, either by the insurgent democrats or the republican forces, has been announced, nor is there any likely to be named by the latter party until after the August election. In East Tennessee, the republican stronghold, there are several prospective candidates, but none has been actually placed in the field. Governor Patterson is now devoting his campaign speeches primarily to the support of judiciary candidates nominated at the regular democratic primary held in June. The present judges are seeking re-election. Some have aligned themselves with the administration forces while the others are supported by the insurgent democrats of the state. Three of the supreme court judges declined to enter the democratic primary, alleging that Governor Patterson and his administration had attempted to coerce the judiciary. Their partisans called a convention and these three were renominated along with the two others. The two other justice entered into the primary and lined up with the administration party, thus securing renomination. Three opposition candidates were named to run against the three so-called bolting justices. The same state of affairs exists in the contest for the judgements of the court of civil appeals. Charles T. Cates, the state attorney general, is nominally the campaign manager for the insurgent faction. He has directed, in his speeches throughout the state, bitter attacks against Governor Patterson and his administration. The pardoning of Duncan Cooper, who had been convicted of the slaying of the late United States Senator E. W. Carmack, has been made an issue in the present campaign. On the other hand Governor Patterson has denounced Attorney General Cates and has charged him with using his official position in the handling of private lawsuits before, the supreme court. The attacks and counter attacks have been bitter, and the feeling and tension of the situation are daily becoming more acute. The prohibition question, which was the chief, and practically sole, issue in the last gubernatorial contest, has apparently been lost sight of. The administration forces have openly declared that if they are victorious in the August election, steps will be taken to have the law repealed at the next session of the legislature. Peaches Badly Injured. Griffin, Ga.—One of the heaviest rain and wind storms of the year visited this section, doing tremendous damage, to crops and fruit. Hundreds of crates of elbertas are on the ground, as the result of the storm. One grower reports that every peace in his orchard was blown from the trees. Other growers report similar damage. It is not known how many crates were destroyed, but it is a fact that the crop is practically a loss. Doctors Head Army. Washington, D. C.—With the assumption by Major General Leonard Wood of the duties of chief of staff of the army, two doctors now occupy the, two most responsible positions in the army of the United States. The other doctor who has risen to such power in the army is Major General Alnsworth, adjutant general. L. & N. Railway Raises Wages. Louisville, Ky.—Four thousand Louisville invites you to Nashville Railroad were given a 'surprise when they opened their pay, envelopes and found therein an unsolicited increase of 6 per cent. Wellesfey President Resigns. Boston, Mass.—Miss Caroline Hazard, for eleven years president of Weishels-College, and one of the best known women educators in the country, resigned. Miss Hazard's administration had been the longest in the history of the college. The resignation is due to poor health. Workmen's Compensation. Washington, D. C.-President Taft appointed W. G. Brown, president of the New York Central lines, and Daniel L. Cease, editor of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen's Journal, as members of the commission to look into the subject of workmen's compensation in personal injury cases. The Savannah Tribune. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. NEW CENSUS CAUSES ALARM Republicans Would Prevent Expected Southern Increase in Congress. Washington, D. C.—The republican leaders have determined that in the sixty-third congress the representation in the house shall not aggregate more than 410 members. This means that representation from the south will not be increased. The leaders hope to shape matters so that the southern strength in the house and in the electoral college will be somewhat reduced when the new census figures are acted upon. They realize, it is said, that some of the southern states, like Missouri, Texas and Alabama, have increased largely in population and will be entitled to increased representation, but what they will gain will be taken, it is said, from other southern states. This action, the republican leaders point out, is to be taken because the present size of the house is unwieldy. If the estimate of the total population of about 29,000,000 of the southern states is exceeded the ratio, fixed at 220,000 for each congressman, to be raised. According to calculations, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York, Minnesota, Illinois and Ohio will reap all the gains in the north. Representation of southern states will be decreased. Some of the republicans are urging this solution so that the next house will have a preponderating republic can majority. NO RAILROAD STRIKE. Employees and Officials of Pennsylvania Reach Agreement. Philadelphia, Pa—General Manager W. H. Myers of the Pennsylvania Railroad and the committee representing the 15,000 trainmen and conductors employed on the lines of the road east of Pittsburgh agreed on a basis of the settlement of the wage controversy. Each side claims to have gained all that it had been contending for in the negotiations which have been in progress for the past six months, and watch culminated in the strike vote by the employees. The proposition offered by the railroad, officials and accepted by the men includes a minimum day of ten hours, as detailed in the New York Central award. On certain runs where the company's present rate is higher, the rate will not be disturbed. The classification of these exceptional runs and the question of overtime were left to be decided at conferences between the various members of the committee and the division suprindents of the lines which they represent. It was further agreed that the men would be guaranteed twenty-six days' work a month. While the men regard this as a concession, the railroad officials say that during the recent hard times the men were benefited by being worked on short time rather than being laid off altogether. PAROLE LAW IN EFFECT. Paroles Provided for United States Prisoners. Washington, D^C G. — Preliminary steps have been taken at the department of justice for putting into effect the law enacted at the last session of congress for paroling United States prisoners, thus establishing a practice that had been adopted by probably one-half the states. It probably will be two or three months before any actual paroling of federal prisoners will be taken. The first step will be the establishment of rules and regulations for the procedure of the board of parole of each penitentiary. These are to be subject to the approval of the attorney general. The parole law contemplates that convicts whose prison records are good and who have served one-third of the terms to which they were sentenced may be released on parole in certain prescribed conditions. CLEVELAND MEMORIAL. $100,000 Contributed for a Monument to the ExPresident. New York City—Most of the money for the Grover Cleveland memorial at Princeton is now at hand, according to the announcement from the committee in charge, and work is to be begun at once. Slightly more than $73,000 of the necessary $100,000 has been subscribed. The memorial will be in the form of a tower 75 feet high, and, in accordance with the wishes of Mr. Cliffeland's family and characteristic of his own ideas, there will be no heroic statue or figure on the exterior. The memorial tower will measure 40 feet square at the base and will be of silver stone to harmonize with the buildings of the new graduate school at Princeton. COUNTERFEIT $10 BILL. Spurious $10 Gold Certificate is in Circulation. Washington, D. C.-Discovery of the existence of a new counterfeit $10 gold certificate has been announced by John E. Wilkie, chief of the secret service division of the treasury department. The certificate is represented of the act of July 12, 1882, series of 1901, and bears the check letter "D,55 plate No. 150. The note is from a photographic plate printed on bond paper in which the coloring of the seal, series numbers and back appears to be a brownish-red water proof ink. The silk fiber is imitated by red and blue ink marks. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1910. CRUISER IS SENT TO GUARD AMERICAN CONSUL BITTER FEELING AGAINST U. S. Washington, D. C.—Fear exists that Edwin W. Trimmer, United States consul at Cape Gracias, Nicaragua, may be assaulted or possibly even assassinated, wherefore it has been decided to send the cruiser Tacoma to the port to investigate and if conditions seem to demand it to land marines to protect American lives and property. This was the report made at the state department by Thomas P. Moffatt, United States consul at Bluefields. Two officers and forty-five men were ordered to Cape Gracias on the Tacoma, he said. It was because of the continual abuse of the governor and other officials of the Madrid government at Cape Gracias, he declares, that the fear arose for the safety of the American consul here. An article published in La Naclon, an official Madrid organ published at Managua, indicates the feeling in Nicaragua against Americans. "We Nicaraguans have some limited means to which we may resort as a final recourse if it comes to the point that the Yankee tries to execute his threat. Let us lay hands on all the North Americans residing in Nicaragua, and let us say to Mr. Taft: "For each shot you hurl against us, a head of one of your countrymen shall roll on the ground." "Another of the means to which we may resort in revenge for so great an injury, and for this I do not believe we are less able than the Young Turks, let us organize in the form of a powerful coalition of active propaganda, to tie end that in all the Latin-American countries no goods shall be purchased from the United States; making our people understand that in this is the most efficacious methods of combating the common enemy of our race, so proud on account of its power; so insolent on account of its pride and so detestable, on account of its, insolence." TRANSPORTATION RULES Important Rulings by 'Interstate Commerce Commission. Washington, D. C.—A set of "administrative rulings" was announced by the interstate commerce commission, supplementary to all rulings made heretofore. All of the rulings laid down are important to interstate carriers and some of them are of general public interest, as follows: An interstate excursion for *britain commercial clubs*, the members of which are to be carried at the expense of the railroad companies as their guests, cannot be sanctioned. Free transportation cannot be issued to employees of a bridge company, which makes annual reports to the commission, but files no traffics and collects no charges from shippers or carriers. Free or reduced rates of transportation may not lawfully be accorded to traveling secretaries of a Young Woman's Christian Association. There is no warrant in law for according free transportation of the body of an ex-employee of the carrier who resigned from the service some time prior to his death. Yellow Fever Is Feared. Bluefields, Nicaragua.—The American consul, Thomas P. Moffatt, has issued instructions to the American naval commanders here to observe the strictest precautions that no personal communication be held with Bluefields Bluff, on account of the grave fears that yellow fever is prevalent there. The bluff is held by the Madriz forces, and numerous deaths have recently occurred among the Madriz soldiers. - To Build Air Cruisers. Graefrath, Rhenish Prussia—The Lower Rhine Company, with $500,000 capital for the construction of air cruisers especially fitted for dropping explosives, has been formed under the auspices of Count von Moltke. Dirigible balloons will be built about 390 feet in length and having a capacity of 14,300 cubic meters of gas and a carrying capacity of more than five tons. Taft In Maine. Eastport, Maine.—Beginning his ten days' stay in Maine, President Taft reached the northeast corner of the United States. It was the first time a chief magistrate of the United States has visited this section of the state, and for Mr. Taft it completed travels to the four corners of the country. Texas Legislature Meets. Austin, Texas—The third called session of the thirty-first Texas legislature was convened here for the specific purpose of considering the advisability of repealing the fire rating board law enacted at the last session of the legislature. LONG LABOR WAR ENDS. Bucks Stove Company and Labor Union Sign An Agreement. Cincinnati, Ohio.—A peace pact of great importance to organized labor and to the country as well, was reached here between officers of the American Federation of Labor on one side, and members of the Stove Founders' National Defense Association on the other. The effect of the agreement is to end the bitter warfare between the Federation of Labor and the Bucks Stove and Range Company of St. Louis. The association and the stove company, through its representatives here announced their withdrawal from the prosecutions against President Gompers, Vice President John Mitchell and Secretary Morrison of the American Federation of Labor in the contempt cases now pending against them. While the prosecutions hanging over Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison of the Federation of Labor have passed out of the hands of the stove company, which instituted them and are now pending in the United States supreme court at Washington, representatives of the stove company and of the National Defense Association, by the articles signed, agreed to withdraw their attorneys from the case. Whether the appeal of the three men from jail sentences imposed upon them for alleged violation of an injunction shall be fought to a finish in the supreme court is said to rest now with Attorney General Wickerham. The controversy between the American Federation of Labor and the Bucks Stove Company began about two years ago, when the late James W. Van Cleve, president of the stove company, sought an injunction against Gompers and others from publishing his company as on the "unfair list." Upon an alleged violation of this injunction, jail sentences were pronounced upon Gompers, Morrison and Mitchell. Mr. Van Cleve died some months ago, his death, it is said, being in a measure due to worry over the long fight in the courts. The memorandum accompanying the articles of agreement signed declare that the company was recently reorganized, with Lee Van Cleve as its head, and that those now in charge of it earnestly desire entire peace and accord with the labor organizations. TAFT APPOINTS NEGRO. Whitfield McKinley Named Collector of Customs at Washington. Washington, D. C.—Whitfield McKinley, a negro real estate agent of this city, has been appointed collector of customs here, the technical designation of the office being the port of Georgetown, D. C. News of McKinley's selection by President Taft was received here from Secretary Norton at Beverly. It sl stated that the appointment signifies the recognition of negroes in important federal positions. McKinley came to Washington from Charlesion, S. C., in 1884, and has taken an active part in politics. He was strongly recommended to the president by negroes throughout the country, among them being Dr. W. D. Crum, former collector of the port of Charlesion, who was recently named as minister to Liberia. Strong opposition to the appointment of a negro to the collectorship developed when it was reported here several weeks ago that a coorred man might get the place. The president nominated Sidney Bieber, a very well known politician, during the winter, but the senate failed to confirm him and it became apparent that some other appointment would have to be made. MACON MAN GETS FORTUNE Half Million Dollars Willed "Kid" Miller by Alaska Friend. Macon, Ga. — Shortly before the Klondike gold boom W. V. Miller, a motorman in this city, then living in Atlanta, and known as "Kid" Miller, met J. F. Curley, a miner, without funds. He took him in, fed him and gave him money as far as Birmingham. That was the last he ever heard of the bread cast upon the waters until this week, when he received word that Curley had died in Dawson City and left a fortune estimated at $500,000. Shortly after Curley's death Dawson City authorities communicated with Chief of Police Jennings of Atlanta, asking for news of "Kid" Miller. Chief Jennings traced him here and located him as W. V. Miller, a married, but childless motorman. The news of Curley's will, leaving his all to the man who helped him when he was down and out, quickly followed. CALL FOR COTTON. Staple Rushed to New York City on Special Trains. New-Orleans, La—As a result of the scarcity of spot cotton which the so-called July squeeze has brought about in New York, the south is being drained of practically all available cotton. Coastwise shipments from Savannah, New Orleans, Mobile and Galveston have been heavy for a week or more, and with the jump of July options to 16.53 in the New York future market, the highest price recorded since the Sully campaign, telegraphic orders began to pour into the spot centers, calling for the shipment on special trains of all cotton that could be bought. THE ANNUAL SESSION A SUCCESS The first annual session of the Supreme Grand Temple of the United Brotherhood of America is now history. Never in the history of Negro secret orders was a more peaceful and prosperous session held. Organized just a year ago, the great order, under the strict business administration of its officers, has forged its way to the front as one of the leading fraternal business orders of the country. The first annual thanksgiving service of the order was held on Sunday, July 10, at the First Bryan Baptist Church. Prior to the services at the church, the members of the order assembled at Scott's Hall, where they formed in line and marched to the church. At the church an excellent program was carried out. On Monday, July 11, at 10 a.m., was held the first day's session of the first annual session of the order, S. G. A., W. D. Kennedy, presiding. After the regular devotional exercises, which were conducted in a fitting manner by the S. G. H., P. H. D., Butler, the Supreme Grand Architect, introduced Professor S. A. Grant, P. G. D. Alpha Temple, who, in a speech, filled with well chosen words of cordiality, welcomed the delegates to the city. The response to the welcome address was delivered by Mrs. Carrie E. Williams of Augusta, Ga., St. John's Temple No. 18. In her speech Mrs. Williams easily maintained her reputation as one of the most polished female orators of the race. An excellent paper on work was next read by Miss Lizzie Porter. After the singing of a hymn, the S. G. A. introduced to the convention the visitors. Among those who spoke and congratulated the order on its success were: Professor E. W. Houstoun of Lincoln Institute. Jefferson City, Mo., and Professor J. G. Lemon of Georgia State College, Savannah. The appointment of committee on credentials was next made, then a few announcements, after which the session was adjourned until 3 p. m. Afternoon Session 3 P. M. The session was called to order 'on time by S. G. A., W. D. Kennedy. After the regular devotional exercises, the minutes of the morning session were read and approved. The report of the committee on credentials was next called for, after which the roll call of representatives and members was made. The next business in order was the annual report of the officers of the Supreme Grand Temple. These reports showed the order to be in a most flourishing condition, both financially and numerically. The report of the Supreme Grand Scribe showed that the order began, July 16, 1909, with 85 members; since that time the membership has reached 1,300, showing an increase of 1,215 members in one year. The report showed that twenty-one temples have been set up throughout the state and a number of conventions are now on foot. The report also showed that the order now owns property to the amount of $7,000 with a net cash balance of over $1,100 in the bank. The report of the Supreme Grand Architect was equally encouraging. It showed that the several departments of the order, especially the children's department, were in a very flourishing condition. Several important recommendations were made by the Supreme Grand Architect, all of which were accepted by the order. So pleased were the members with the condition of the order under the skillful direction of the Supreme Grand Architect, that his term of office was lengthened from one to four years. The reading of the report being concluded, there were a few announcements, after which the session was adjourned till Tuesday, July 12, 1916, at 9 a. m. At the session on Tuesday morning, the business of the convention was concluded. After the various reports of committees, the installation of officers and supreme executive board was conducted by Professor John M. McIntosh, S. G. D. The following officers were installed for the ensuing year: W. D. Kennedy, S. G. A. H. D. Butler, First V., S. G. A. Benjamin Lambert, Second V. S. G. A. Mrs. Justine H. Patterson, S. G. M. R. L. Lockley, S. G. S. F. B. Petty, S: G. Attorney. During the session, the visiting delegates were complimented on Tuesday afternoon with a boat ride around the harbor. The first annual session showed the people the great work it has accomplished in one year. The progress made in one year has gone beyond all expectations. Each department is in a flourishing condition and is doing well. As this is a great business organization, we hope to build up places of employment for our children. The military feature is to be built up also. This session has been one of great inspiration to our people. It showed us what each one of us had tried to do and what we had accomplished. The S. G. A., Professor W. D. Kennedy, a young man of quiet but businesslike demeanor, has shown to the people that he is the right man in the right place. By hard work, pluck and perseverance, he has succeeded in pushing the institution to the front. Today we stand second to none. What we have accomplished in one year under his generalship some others couldn't have done it in ten years. The concensus of opinion among the board of directors, members and representatives, is that we hold up his hands and sustain him in this great undertaking and continue to spread the good work among our people which will enable them to measure arms with any race.

Joyce but then I've read it only a doodle times, or so!" retorted the cruel editor. Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society Treasury of State of Georgia Attorney General Quits Race For Governorship of Georgia. Judge Hart Utters a Solemn Warning as to The Financial Condition of the State of Georgia. Atlanta, Ga.—Judge John C. Hart has retired from the race for governor. Three weeks after his announcement and on the very day his resignation from the office of attorney general of Georgia took effect and his successor was sworn in, he is sued a formal statement announcing his withdrawal. This practically leaves the field to Governor Joseph M. Brown and Hoke Smith, who will fight over the campaign of two years ago. Likewise its effect will be to make unnecessary the application of the primary prorating rule and to remove that rule as an issue in the campaign, since Brown or Smith is almost sure to receive a majority in every county. Almost as abrupt and unexpected as his entrance into the race was Judge Hart's retirement. He practically admits that he misjudged the present temper of the people of the state; that instead of wanting peace, they want war. His signed statement giving his reasons for retiring is free from bitterness; it is candid and sincere, and almost as unbiased as an opinion affecting the actions and political future of someone other than the author. Judge Hart admit that his plea for peace has fallen on deaf ears; that his candidacy has failed of accomplishing its desired purpose. As proof of his sincerity that he desired peace and not strife, he has retired and declined to permit his candidacy to further foment strife between the two contending factions. But Judge Hart does not yield one jot or tittle of the principles which he formerly championed. He warns the state against strife and factionalism; against the crisis which faces the state treasury; against the disgrace into which embittered partisanship may plunge the state by seriously jeopardizing her fair name and credit. In discussing the state's finances, he says: "Georgia is now face to face with a crisis. It should alarm the patriotic men of this state. Her appropriations are in excess of her income, and the same rule applies to the state as applies to an individual who spends more than his income. Georgia has already been forced to the humiliating confession that there was not enough money in her treasury to enable her to buy property which the legislature thought, whether wisely or unwisely, her best interests demanded." SOL. C. JOHNSON, Supt. of Ageno Treasurer of the State of Georgia. Masonic Books Regalias. LODGE SEALS. FINANCIAL CARDS and BLANKS of every description. Publilahere' and Manufacturers' Prices Liberal Discounts Will Be Arranged. GOL. C. JOHNSON, Gavannah, Ga. He speaks feelingly of the dangers which threaten the state from strife, and says the only purpose of his candidacy was to prevent that strife which he believed was working harm The state of Georgia spent last year on public roads the sum of $2,506,980, or an average of $1.08 per inhabitant, according to a report just issued by S. W. McCallie, the state geologist. This figure represents all the cost, including an estimate of $450,000 as the value of the free labor employed by the state. The estimated milage of public roads is $2,182. Of this total mileage 4,533 miles of road were surfaced with stones, shells, gravel and sand-clay mixtures. This constitutes about 5 per cent of the total road mileage. Fulton leads the list in the matter of improved roads. This county has 300 miles of road surfaced with stone or shells and 25 miles that are otherwise improved, leaving 75 miles of road in this county unimproved. Chatham county has 105 miles of road surfaced with shell and the cost was $3,500 per mile. Walker county has 234 miles of road surfaced with chert or gravel. Richmond has 100 miles surfaced with stone and 80 miles surfaced with sand-clay mixture. The cost to Richmond county was $1,600. Washington county has 200 miles of sand-clay roads, and Burke has 400 miles. As to the subject of total expenditures for roads and bridges the following figures are given: Fulton county $218,000, Richmond $64,900, Sumter $50,000, Bibb $49,152, Chatham $40,000, Washington $38,50, Appling $35,875, Coweta $37,593. Those counties which have spent as much as $30,000 and less than $35,000 are Bartow, Ben Hill, Carroll, Cobb, Coweta, Gwinnett and Jackson. The report of Mr. McCallie acknowledges indebtedness to the prison commission and to Captain Goodloe Yancey of the commission. Of the 146 counties of the state, 104 employ convicts and 39 use statuté or hired labor, the total number of convicts employed being 4,579. THROUGHOUT GEORGIA. Gordon county's tax returns receiv- P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President. ed by the comptroller general show an increase in the taxable values of the county at $175,157, as compared to the returns of last year. The total figures are $3,542,138. Gordon county returns 1,081 dogs for taxation. Within the next sixty days construction work will begin on the Atlanta and Carolina railway, interurban electric railway, which, in addition to 8 miles of railroad in the streets of Atlanta, will build a direct line to August by way of Athens, and a branch line to College Park. Authority has been received by the company from the railroad commission of Georgia for a capitalization of $5,000,000, and for a bond issue of $6,000,000. All the necessary franchises have been secured and practically all the rights of way. Much damage is resulting in the Commerce section from continuous rains. Many farmers did no work in fifteen days. On many farms, the grass is spreading and cannot be subdued. Wheat and oats are sprouting and rotting in the fields. It is thought that at least half of the fine grain crop will be lost. High waters have washed away much small grain. Fruit is rotting on the trees. The roads are almost as bad as at any time during the past winter. The upland corn, however, is by all odds the finest ever grown in Jackson county. Corn on lowlands is a complete failure. THE NATIONAL GAME. The Pittsburg Club has given infielder Abbaticchio his release. The St. Louis Club has refused to waive on Pitcher Clicotte, of Boston. Bonesetter Reese broke a resolution not to treat any more ball players and fixed up Overail's arm. Billy Merritt, an old National League player, has been engaged as a scout for the Boston Nationals. The Sloux City Club, of the Western League, has signed pitcher Sam Houston, a college lad not yet twenty-one years old. The St. Louis Club has sold pitcher Rankin Johnson, just returned by Memphis, to the Dallas Club, of the Texas League. Messrs. Babe Adams and three fingered Brown are collaborating in a poem entitled "The Mutability of Diamond Greatness." Bobby Wallace manipulates his hands as cleanly on ground hits as a brassy picking up a golf ball. In easy naturalness he can't be beat. The St. Paul Club has secured the release of third baseman David Brain from the Buffalo Club, of the Eastern League. He will be used as substitute. The Scranton (New York League) Club has released pitcher Kellogg to make room for southpaw Scanlon, purchased from the Philadelphia National Club. Time is not in accord with the wonderful human mind; it is too slow or too fast—have you ever noticed that? HOME OFFICE. 463 WEST BROAD STREET, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. Bell Phone 1196. Ga.

HERE was never a time in the history of mankind when there was so much danger of universal war, such gigantic proportion and such deadly machinery. For many years the countries of Europe have been armed camps, and at present seem to have reached their limit. Germany today keeps constantly under arms one million men and has on a war footing four million, with the necessary establishment to put them in the field on notice. France, Austria, Russia and Italy maintain armies and navies on a scarcely less formidable basis. Russia is trying to reinstate herself to a position held before the Japanese war, and our own country since it has attained the position of a world power has become inflated with the mania. Our Secretary of the Navy has called for a navy equal to the greatest and Congress is meeting his demand. The picture is not complete without a glance at the other side of the globe, Japan has demonstrated that every able bodied male is a fighting man ready to obey the Mikado, and its large navy is still being increased. The Chinese Minister to Germany has hastened home to assume the duty of putting China on a war footing. We have reached a time in the world's affairs when intelligent men are ignoring the principles of right and justice and are inclined to rest on brute force, but a new force is come into the world to bring about universal peace when the organized workmen of the world decide that they will no longer go out to shoot down their fellow workmen to satisfy the greed and ambition of rulers. Farm Warns the City Economic Adjustment and Closer Relations Demanded Ey Senator McCumber Y what law, God-given or man-created, have the denizens of cities a greater right to the comforts, the luxuries, the pleasures of life than have the tillers of the soil? The wonderful prosperity of the last dozen years has developed a life of reckless extravagance in this country. The great number of wealthy people now present in every large city has set a pace of high living with which the less fortunate are trying to keep up. Econdmy and self-denial seem almost to have become a lost art. Y what law, God-given or man-created, have the denizens of cities a greater right to the comforts, the luxuries, the pleasures of life than have the tillers of the soil? The wonderful prosperity of the last dozen years has developed a life of reckless extravagance in this country. The great number of wealthy people now present in every large city has set a pace of high living with which the less fortunate are trying to keep up. Econbmy and self-denial seem almost to have become a lost art. The city gait is entirely out of relation and proportion to the more rigid econbmy practiced by the rural population. There must and should be an economic adjustment upon a plane of closer equality, and this means that we must eliminate some of our most extravagant habits; that we may not satisfy all of our expensive desires. We make living expensive because we submit to excessive charges rather than deny ourselves some useless luxury. Let us begin our economy at the right point. Let those men who need some expression for their excessive boycott spirit turn it against the $5 to $25 a day rooms at their hotels. Let those ladies direct it toward the $25 to $50 hat that has not $4 worth of actual material on it. When they have done that they will have accomplished a double good—they will have brought these and kindred articles down to a reasonable basis, and they will have saved sufficient means to pay the farmer and the retailer fair and honest compensation for their foodstuffs. They will have given new strength and power to the principle of "live and let live."—Columbian Magazine. AWAKENING OF KNOWLEDGE.

Our childhood was spent in the midst of an old fashioned family. There were seven sons and five daughters, and we knew nothing of that dainty care which surrounds the families in many of our present house holds. Our parents held a great city in horror. As for them, their children must be brought up in the country. Thirty acres about the house, within walking distance of the village, and an outlying farm, a large portion of it covered with the primeval forest, was thought to be little enough to furnish scope and right conditions for the sturdy development of the sons and daughters. Work there was in abundance, and it must be done—such work as had to be met with ax, and spade, and shovel, and rake, and hoe, with horses and wagons, and plows, and harrows, and all the implements known and needed in a large garden or on a large farm. The lighted candles and lamps anticipated the day by several half hours in the winter, and in the summer the early sun was the signal call to the early labors. Such a life, too, was not without its perils; colts were wild, and sometimes had to be broken, and horses would sometimes run away, and there was scarce a boy of seven who did not bear marks of the mishaps he had had with animals on the place. But it was not all work. Our father knew how to recognize a boy's impressible demand for recreation and fun; so he permitted us to have dogs and guns outdoors, and musical instruments and some games for indoor life. All work, he well know, makes the jout and degrades to the level of a machine—turns a man's character into a hard and bare skeleton; while fun and recreation, in due proportion with work, clothe the bony structure with muscle and flesh, and puts the flash in the eye, and the roses in the cheek. If the work was well done through the week, school faithfully attended and lessons learned, Saturday afternoon was our own. How those closing hours of the week glowed in our anticipations, and the prospect brightened our animal spirits over the entire six days' tasks. There was the hunting party for that afternoon, or the ball club, or the riding match, or the long excursion to the magnificent forests which approached to within a mile or two of the village. Or, at least, but often the best in the summer, was the party for a long tramp to the distant water, which was deep enough to challenge the skill of those lucky youths who had learned to swim. With what profound admiration we looked on those boys who had come from a distance to attend the institution of learning in the village, and who told of the great rivers and lakes near their homes, and what wonderful feats in swimming, and diving, and floating they could perform. To our youthful minds, that had never seen a river or lake, these beings were looked upon as little short of supernatural. At the least they loomed up into the majesty of real heroes. We owe it to one of these river reared boys that we are here now to pen this incident. Indeed, we owe all we have done in life to that sturdy swimmer who had learned his strokes in the Ohio. That Saturday afternoon stands most conspicuous in our memory, and is as yesterday, though it passed, with its incident, far back in the past. The long looked for afternoon had come; our patty was formed, for a walking excursion some four miles to a splendid forest, where ran a clear, deep stream. It was a hot afternoon in July. Many were the walking challenges given and taken on the way, and many were the stones-shed at the birds, and great was the excitement when a seven foot blacksnake made his appearance, and the party surrounded the creature and gave it battle to the death. Of course, we were all in a red hot, glow when we arrived at the bank of the far away stream. The knowing ones warned us we must not plunge into the water while we were so much overheated. What fun in a summer swim beneath the overhanging trees! The run over the more crowded bank the high leap into the air, the upright position, arms laid close to the sides, the compressed lips, the closed eyes, the shooting into the flood, the snuffing out of human voices, the gurgling of the waters, the refreshing coldness of the plunge to the bottom, the strokes downward, the wonderful spring upward, the buoyancy of the waters and the lightness of the body all produce tides of sensation which fill to the overflow the boy's cup of joy. But nearly all this we had to learn afterward, and subsequent to the peril of that day. The Ohio and Mississippi trained boys disdaind such a stream as that, and swam from side to side swiftly as ducks across a barnyard pond. But poor we were as helpless chicks, but ashamed of our fear and ashamed of our ignorance of the life preserving art. We moved shy of these good swimmers for fear they would drag us into the deeper water and half drown us. They went off to chase each other on the bank at a distance. Now was the time to do a little practicing in safely shallow water. It seems no trouble for a duck to swim, and not much more for a man. Those strokes seem so natural, so easy, surely all one needs to do is to strike, just so with the hands, and just so with the feet. We move out bravely and are amazingly encouraged. How the confidence keeps up when one knows he can drop his feet down and stand on solid ground with his head above water! But who can describe the sensations of one who cannot swim, when he finds himself suddenly beyond his depth! Instantly the bottom drops out of his confidence, all his deliberation vanishes, and all order of movement merges into the wildest beating and splashing of the waters. You gasp for air and swallow a mouthful of water. The body turns to lead, and the more desperate the movement the more helpless one seems. You cry for help and the water fills your mouth and lungs. A whirlwind of confusion sweeps through your brain; you are sinking and all hope is vanishing. In an instant the sensations and thoughts change in view of the certainty of death. New impressions seize the mind. It runs with lightning swiftness through the entire past life. Every doubtful and every evil act starts forth with more distinctness, than the magnified, pictures on the illuminated canvas. That act of disobedience which resulted in the horse running away and breaking your arm is now more benign than it was then, and the ache in the conscience now hurts more than the ache did in the arm when it was broken. That mean act of revenge returns to give greater pain than the boy suffered when you thought yourself "even with him." The school quarrels are all pictured on that canvas in lurid light, and even the little tricks to cheat the teacher all reappear to mock at you in that awful moment. You have gone down the second time, and now are sinking for the third time. A great horror of darkness drops on the mind and the senses. You have a faint impression that the crisis has come, and there is a clutching at the hair of your head—all then sinks into darkness. The next is the awakening. You are lying on the bank and faintly, through a rift in the eyelid, you see boys as trees walking around you, and amid the terrible roaring in the ears you begin to hear tones you recognize. "He's all right," shouts the Ohio boy. You open your eyes, and you are thankful beyond words that you landed on this side the dark river, and not on the other. That afternoon dates one of the most impressive of the writer's life, and it has never been for a day lost from his conscience. Saved! for what! For, good and not for evil. It would be base and criminal beyond estimate to turn from the right into the wrong after such a signal token of mercy. Newspapers and Public Confidence. One of the magazines is advertising a series of articles on "The Decline of Public Confidence in the Newspaper Press." If memory serves us well it was Betsey Prig who said of Salrey Gamp's off-quoted, but rather mythical friend, Mrs. Harris, "I don't believe there's no sigh person." We don't believe there's no sigh a thing as "the decline of public confidence in the newspaper press." There may be a decline of confidence in some journals that have forfeited their claim to public respect by slovenliness in gathering and presenting the news, or by vacillation of insincerity in their support of the ideals for which they profess to stand, or by pandering to debased tastes; but the press as a whole is holding its ground. Individual backsiders may be readily detected by that reliable indicator, the volume and character of their advertising patronage. When a newspaper loses public confidence the reputable advertisers are the first to find it out. When it gains in public esteem they are likewise early discoverers of the fact. Good Newspaper. Good Town. The Gaffney (S. C.) Ledger remarks: "A good newspaper cannot be made these days without good advertisers." But what is of more general concern is the broad fact that a good town cannot be made in these days without a good newspaper. It costs money to make a good town, it costs money to make a good newspaper. Fashion Notes 1910 New York City.—Bathing suits always follow the general trend of fashion and the one that is made with sleeves and blouse in one is among the smartest. Hergs is a model that includes that feature and which is made with a skirt that is full enough for comfort yet falls in the fashionable straight close lines. The model is made of natural colored pongee with trimming of brown, but brilliantine 1 is a favorite material for bathing suits, salt water silk is much used and a great many women like the warmer flannel and serge, while for trimming bands of any contrasting material are appropriate. Dotted foulard is being used and is liked, braid is correct, and braiding with soutache is employed on many of the handsover suits. The bloomers accompanying the costume are close fitting over the hips, consequently mean no bulk, yet they are loose and comfortable at the knees. The suit is made with the blouse and skirt and the bloomers. The blouse is laid in a tuck over each shoulder and in the tucks at the back edges and the skirt is laid in inverted pleats at front, back and sides, and these pleats meet over narrow panels. The two are joined by a belt and the closing is made invisibly at the back. A pretty shaped collar finishes the neck. The bloomers are finished with hems and elastics at the knees and under faced at the upper edge. The quantity of material required for the medium size (sixteen years) is seven and one-half years, twenty-seven, four and three-quarter yards forty-four or four and one-half yards fifty-two inches wide, one and one-half yards twenty-seven inches wide for trimming. The Hat Tilt. There is danger of a ridiculous extreme in the hat tilt, and there is the possibility of a most fetching piquancy. A hat must be placed upon the head before the mirror and experimented with until the correct adjustment becomes second nature; then one can wear the tilted brim with the saving grace of knowing that the best has been made of the new line. SINGLE BREASTED BLOUSE Negligee With Fancy Collar—To be made with pointed elbow or long plain sleeves. The negligee that is made with a big fancy collar is always a becoming and attractive one. Frillings in Demand. "Chantecler" and other frillings are in great demand to use as side jabots on waists and gowns or silk or fine.tub.goods. They also are in high favor with mothers who love to have the little ones daintily dressed. Ribbon Sashes. The sash or girdle of ribbons, or even of slik by the yard, is as much a fashion for the child as for the grown-ups. Matching Accessories. With the violet hued suit there must be a gold chain hued with a tiny purse of gold fastened to the outside of the purse. Or, if my lady prefer to adopt the latest fad in dress, she will have a bag of violet silk with a little gold chain for change fastened to the outside. She can keep her coin in the tiny little purse while her vanities are carried in the big silk wrist bag. Ornamental Pockets. Pockets are proving an inexhaustible mine for displaying trimming of various kinds. There are the large square' shapes that are ornamented with braid, embroidery or buttons, giving the decorative 'plastron so much in vogue. Then, again, there are the pointed shapes that are frequently used when the lines of a coat are built on the sharp slanting scheme. Stitched flaps are placed on the tailored suits of severe cut; even lace is used on the linen costumes for ornament rather than for use, for it must be remembered that the perfection of line must not be destroyed by the contents. Auto or Steamer Bonnet. Traveling, whether by motor or by steamer, brings about the necessity for just such head covering as this. A bonnet of some sort is really essential both as protection against the wind and to keep the hair smooth and tidy. The one illustrated is charming and attractive and becoming as well as practical, and easily made withal. In the illustration silk is the material and the trimming is rosettes of ribbon, while the ties are of soft ribbon, but chiffon is often used for ties and the trimming could be ahy preferred one. Pongee, chif- A fon cloth and all materials that are used for bonnets of the sort are appropriate. If liked the brim could be of one material and the crown of another. The bonnet is made with crown and brim and foundation brim. The brim is laid in folds but the foundation's smooth and plain. The crown is gathered at the front edge and joined to the brim and is shirred at the neck edge to form a little frill while these shirrings are held by means of a stay. The quantity of material required is one and one-half yards twenty-seven, or one yard forty-four inches wide with three yards of ribbon two inches wide for rosettes, two and one-half yards of ribbon six inches wide or one and one-half yards of chiffon for ties. 1 Tuck Pleated Blouse—With elbow or long sleeves, with Dutch collar or neck-band. The blouse that is laid in tucks that are stitched to give a flat effect is a smart and fashionable one. Harmonies. One of the loveliest gowns I have seen for some time is a velvet in a most exquisite soft shade of saxe blue with more than a hint of mauve in the high lights, with introductions of heavy purple silk net almost hidden beneath embroideries of blue, mauve and purple, quite impossible to describe properly in mere words, and a beautiful jabot of old Flanders polit held by a magnificent buckle of amethyst paste.

David Starr Jordon 'Ranks Game With Pugilism--Declares Before the National Educational Association That No Intelligence is Required to Excel at Such Sport--Favors the English Football Game. IF YOU FLIRT ON THE STREET IN BALTIMORE YOU WILL HEAR FROM THE ASSISTANT LADY POLICEMAN Chicago.—The value of a sensible and restrained observance of the Fourth has again been demonstrated by the casualty list of this year's celebration. In almost every city and town where the sale and explosion of fireworks were prohibited or restricted there has been a decided falling off in the number of deaths and injured, compared with previous years. This year's list of dead throughout the country, so far as reported, is 24. Last year the total was 44. The whole hymn of injured last year was 2361. This year there were only 1294. These figures show enormous conservation, not only in human life, but less injuries to arms, ears and WOULD ABOLI David Starr Jordon Ranks Game W National Educational Association to Excel at Such Sport---Favo Boston.—David Star Jordan, president of Leland Stanford University, declared in an address before the American Educational Association that football as played by the athletes of American universities is a combination of the elements of pure brutality and pugilism. He said that the worst feature of the athletic life of the modern college is the love of the sordid, the same love of the sordid, he said, that compelled the interest of nearly the entire country to focus itself upon a ring away out in far Nevada, where a black man and a white man were pounding each other. "Some day," said President Jordan, "the college presidents and school heads 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 de- IF YOU FLIRT ON THE STREET WILL HEAR FROM THE Baltimore, Md.—The Woman Suffrage Club, of Baltimore, intends to put an end to all street flirtations, to keep many of the young people who swarm the streets at night at home, and to prevent any behavior that is not decorous and mannerly-by older men and women. The committee from the club called upon the State's Attorney and asked his advice and co-operation. The State's Attorney will be appealed to particularly to discover if it is possible to appoint women assistants to the police officers at the sighurban resorts and on the downtown streets, whose duty will be to look after street morals. When the suffragists appealed to the police board recently to secure the appointment of women policemen at the resorts the board declared such action not within its power, as the resorts were outside of the city limits. Plans to Be Taken Up With President Taft at Beverly. Washington, D. C.—Such meetings of the Board of Trustees of the projected postal savings banks as are held during the summer will take place at Beverly. This has been agreed upon by the three members, Postmaster-General Hitchcock, Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh and Attorney-General Wickersham. The organization of postal banks has been informally discussed by members of the board, but no plans will be made for putting them into operation until the board has had an opportunity to talk over the matter with the President. It is not believed that the first of the postal banks can be opened this year. Will Abandon "Biblical Fables." Chicago.—The rise of a new type of Christianity is heralded in the current number of the Biblical World, organ of the University of Chicago Divinity School. It will be ethical, scientific, social and altruistic. Biblical fables and stories that conflict with scientific truth are to be abandoned. His Broken Neck Set by Columbus, Ohio.—By a bloodless surgical operation Jack Eowens, a coal miner, of Nelsonville, O., was relieved of an injury to his neck involving both dislocation: of vertebrae and fracture, suffered three-weeks ago. Under an anaesthetic, the vertebrae were restored to their proper relations by hand. manupulation and the head strapped rigidly in a normal position. Bowers stood the operation well and an hour later was talking and laughing. eyes, which are so frequently the battered targets of destructible explosives. Casualties in Chicago and its suburbs showed a remarkable diminution from the number a year ago. One death, due to the accidental discharge of a pistol, was reported, although the day's celebration must also be debilitated with a second death that resulted June 21 last from a rifle wound, self-inflicted, while a boy was cleaning a small rifle. Of the injured this year 650 were hurt by fireworks, 108 by cannon, 173 by firearms, 59 by torpedoes and 97 by toy pistols. The fire loss was $317,815. ISH FOOTBALL. With Pugilism—Declares Before the Man That No Intelligence is Required forors the English Football Game. stroys the best there is in American youth. "No intelligence is required in the game of football. Blacksmiths and bollermakers can play the game as well as men of finer intellect; in fact, blacksmiths and bollermakers are considered the best raw material for the game." The remarks of President Jordan were called forth by the preceding address delivered by Clark W. Hetherington, physical director of the University of Missouri and himself a Stanford graduate, who had delivered an eloquent appeal for the extension of athletics in American colleges and had defended football as the greatest of intercollegiate sports. Dr. Jordan favored the entire abolition of football as played and the substitution of the English game. IN BALTIMORE YOU THE ASSISTANT LADY POLICEMAN Now State's Attorney Owens will be asked for aid, and if he declares that the appointments are impossible the women will wait until the next legislative session, when a bill will be framed providing for the appointment of the women assistants to the police. Meanwhile many of the suffragists will appoint themselves unofficial policemen and will look out for the conduct of the people on the streets. Mrs. Emma Maddox Funk, the president of the club, says: "We are not planning this campaign because we feel that the policemen are lax in their duty, but we think that there is much to be done for morality that the police have not time to bother about. If we succeed in getting women assistants to the police to do duty on the downtown streets and at the resorts then we will feel that we have accomplished something worth while." BOY AND GIRL DROWNED. In Rowboat at Midnight When It Capsized Near Stony Brook. Stony Brook, L. I. The capsizing of a rowboat at midnight caused the death by drowning of Miss Eugenia Fitzgibbons, twenty, and Leroy Norton, eighteen. Two other young men who were with them in the boat struggled ashore. Miss Fitzgibbons was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Fitzgibbons, Norton was the son of Mrs. Winfield Norton, a widow. The two young men who saved themselves hurried to where some guests still lingered at a beach party given by Miss Bessie Hawkins and gave the alarm. Many hurried to the creek and after repeated efforts recovered the body of Norton. Government to Run Model Farm Washington, D. C.—Modern methods of handling dairy products will be exemplified by the Department of Agriculture on a farm of 475 acres, near Beltsville, Md., a few miles north of this city. It is stated that a herd of milch goats will be bred on the farm, besides other dairy stock. Aviator Crawls Out From Under Pittsburg, Kan.—Arch Moxsey, in a Wright biplane, dived almost straight downyard from a height of a hundred feet here after his engine had gone dead. The machine was demolished, but Moxsey crawled from a mass of planes and wires unhurt. Moxsey was soaring along evenly at a height of 500 feet when his motor stopped. Moxsey tilted his planes and floated down. When one of the plane stays gave way the machine crashed to earth. WHEN WILL NEGROES LEARN BETTER? Negro Criminals Pay Chatham County $50,000 Annually! Savannah Needs A Cleaning Out. The burning question which confronts the better class of Negroes in Chatham County is: "What are we going to do with that criminal class of Negroes who are gnawing and sapping the very vitals of all that is high, elevating, and progressive in our community?" THE TRIBUNE is not utopian, and freely admits that there has been, is now, and always will be a criminal class; but after reading day after day in the daily papers of the large number of Negroes being sent to the gang, there is but one conclusion to reach, and that is that there are too many good-for-nothing Negroes in Savannah, and the sooner a good dose of purgative is given the city, the better it will be for all. There is a class among us which tries to live by its wit. This class will not work, and what's the result? We read or hear of some big fellow, (big enough to get in the ring with Johnson) being arrested and sent to the gang for twelve months for stealing an old pair of pants; or a rotten apple; or a fifty-cent cap. Another crazy fellow will get in a quarrel with some one, and in the twinkling of an eye, he has carved enough meat off his adversary to feed all the dogs in town, then the law gets him good and hard. Some other-fool Negro will break into a house and come off with a man's old shoes and perhaps a lady's powder rag for which rich prizes he is sent up for twelve months. It would be a blessing if the community were rid of that class. One of the worst features about these cases is that when it comes to paying the fines, in a very large number of instances, friends have to pay out of their pockets to keep these worthless folks from being sent to the gang. A fair estimate of the money and labor given Chatham County and Savannah by these good-for-nothing fellows is $50,000 annually. This sum is sufficient to build a school, operate some business or work wonders along charitable lines. This criminal class has paid enough fines and labor in the last ten years to run Hampton or Tuskegee two years, Atlanta or Fisk eight years. That these Negroes are capable of good work can be attested to by the very excellent vegetables, etc., which they raise on the farm; by the many fine roads, ditches, etc., which they construct. Rather than work themselves and be free men, it seems as if they prefer to be worked and be slaves. But, friends, as sad as are those conditions, still sadder ones will stare us in the face when we realize the fact that there are thouands of our children who are growing up without educational advantages, without proper protection, without even being thought about and who are destined to swell the ranks of the gang as surely as the sun shines. Even now, there are at least 4,000 children who are getting their schooling hanging around dives, loafing on the street corners. These are but candidates for the "BACK TO THE FARM" movement. That hackneyed expression: "Back to the farm" evidently seemed to have been misunderstood around this city, while the slogan is "Back to the farm," it does not and ought not mean "Back to the county farm." Well, we do not know if the poor devils deserve such a cursing out, for it does seem that in Savannah, proud city by the sea, that their chance for an education ought to have been better. Someone is responsible for their ignorance besides themselves. There is no use wasting time on the hardened criminal, but our efforts ought to be centered on the thousands of children who are without educational advantages. Established 1875 By JOHN H.

SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1910 Go where you will in this country you will find some colored person making good. The volume of business done by the colored man in this city is very encouraging. There is a little crop of J. P. Morgan's already. The best bargains on the market are to buy some people for what they are worth, and sell them for what they think they are worth. Now is the time for the Negroes to get together to secure another school. There is not a race loving man but would not contribute one-thing to such a cause. DISAGREE with a certain calibre of men on one question, and they will hold you a mortal enemy thereafter. The "good time" young men should mend their ways, look on the practical side of life and commence to save for a time when sickness and old age will set in. A COLORED man, Will Kelly, was compelled to serve in the penitentiary of this State over five years, accused of being an escaped convict. It has since been ascertained that he was an innocent man. During this time the State received from the leesees for his hire $1,434.80. To recover this amount a bill was introduced in the legislature. The bill was a just one, not calling for a penny more than what the unfortunate man earned as received by the State; yet the committee, to which it was referred turned it down. Another effort should be made in behalf of Kelly in order to reimburse him for being unjustly imprisoned. Men's Sunday Club The address by Rev. W. L. Cash, of the Congregational church at the club on last Sunday was replete with many valuable suggestions and words of advice. The music was also good. The solo by Misses Nettie A. Houston and Catherine Alexander and the selection by the Congregational choir under the direction of Mrs. Houscun being greatly enjoyed. On to morrow the club will be addressed on an educational subject by Prof. E. C. Williams, of Lane College, Jackson, Tenn. Definite actions will also be taken on the proposed move for increased school facili- tives. All lovers of education are urged to be present and give their aid in this great movement. He Is Not a Factional Leader Editor TRIEUNE: In the last issue of the paper published by Bro. Harris, at Washington, Ga., he accused our able Grand Worthy Chief, L. W. Beasley as a leader of the delegates from the southern part of the state. We want the writer to understand that we appreciate our Grand Chief as a leader, but he is not a leader of any certain section, but of the entire State. In his rulings he does not favor one section any more than he does the other. If the writer is a loyal Samaritan he would not write such articles about our Grand Chief. We love him in this section and so does the entire state, as evidenced, by his long service.

Notice To Fishermen There is no use going fishing for the next two weeks, because all the fish in the rivers have been caught by Messrs Paul Perry, James Davis and Mannie Houstoun. It is still an open question between Messrs Perry and Davis as to which one caught the more fish. It will never be settled however, as the number of fish which escaped out of Mr. Perry's fish cart varies directly, as the number Mr. Davis was supposed to have caught. Mr. Houstoun caught a fish by the neck. He is thinking of a method by which fish can be caught by the tail. Happy Klds On The Go. Sanford Fla., July 20th 1910. The Happy Kids, Savannah's strong base ball club is on a short trip through Florida.

STOP Paying Rent Get away from the crowded city rookeries--the home of Consumption and Malaria. The death rate among the white people in Savannah is about fifteen per thousand. Among the colored people over twenty-five per thousand. The great mortality of the colored people is undoubtedly largely caused by the unsanitary surroundings in which they live. Crowded and hived in lanes and shanties, how can they prosper physically, mentally or morally? The hope of progress for the race lies in getting away from cramped, crowed, miasmatic depressing surroundings and into bright, cheerful, roomy and healthful homes. Give yourself a chance. Come and see me and I will show you how, and help you to do it. I have built many modern homes for colored people. With a little effort on your part, I will build one for you. First come first served. Second Baptist Church. Usual services were held last Sunday, Rev May preached at the morning hour, and, Rev Reader of Newberry, South Carolina preached at night.

Owing to the illness of presiding elder Bembry's mother, at Fitzerald, Ga., he could not be present and Rev. R H Singleton was deputized to hold the quarter. Taking all things as a whole it was one of the most successful quarters ever held at St. Phillips. The reports from the various departments were excellent, every department shows that everybody is working and also showed a good balance in treasury. On Spinday Rev. Singleton preached at 11 a.m., and at 8 p. m. Those who failed to attend these services certainly missed a treat. The two subjects discussed at each service kept the audience spell-bound. The theme of discussion at 11 a.m., was "God's ways in the Sanctuary," and at 8 p. m., the subject was "Thou art welged in the Balance and then found wanting." We are sorry to note the death of Bishop Edward W. Lampton which occurred at Petoskey, Mich., on July 16th. Bishop Lampton was one of the foremost bishops of the A M E church.

DYER Who departed this life July 13th 1905. Five years ago this day I lay aside our affectionate sister, a loving friend and devoted christian, in God's garden she lay, not dead, only sleeping and resting from her toil and strife in God's dear keeping. All labor done; all pains and sorrows o'er. Waiting the glorious hour, that opens the Eternal Gate. A life so short, so brief, so full of God's deeds done. Faithful, loving, kind and true gone o'er, yet begun. Though tears may fall and hearts be sad, With grief we thank Thee, dear Father. For that loving life so brief, and we leave her at rest. In God's loving keeping, Till the dawn of the day. When we awake from our sleeping. Dear sister gone but not forgotten. So after your loving song. Dream sweetly at the Pearly gates, I miss you but it is God's will and it must be done. Though we may forget your looks, But ne'er forget your song. Sleep on dear sister, a precious one from us has gone. A voice we loved, and a place is vacant in our home. Which ne'er can be filled, yet again. I hope to meet you, when the day of life has fled. Then in heaven with joy to greet you. Where no farewell tear is shed. Sleep on dear sister though your body is resting and your soul is safe in heaven. Her loving and devoted sister.

The best vegetable for feeding hens is cabbage, for it is succulent and contains the largest amount of ash and protein of all vegetables. Trap Nest For Laying Hens. The larger illustration shown gives a fair idea of a trap nest that anybody can make in a little while with only a hammer and a saw for tools. Of We hang them up just so the hens can pick them clean to the stump. The greatest difficulty is in keeping cabbages in good condition through the winter. Few methods have been successful with us. We have tried pilling in the barn and covering with hay, but they sweat so easily that root soon begins. Burying in a trench in the garden was only partially a success. A cool cellar with the cabbage on shelves or hung from the joist has given us the best results. The late flat Dutch gives the most feed and requires the least work to raise.—M. E. Chapman, in the Weekly Witness. Feeding Young Pigs. Concerning the ailment of pigs I say this: I have had a like experience, and the cause I found was in feeding the sow too rich a feed when pigs were small. It will cause them to become so fat they will die in the nest at times. Sometimes it will give them the thumps, and sometimes the scours. The safest feed when the pigs are young that I have ever tried is simply wheat bran, not a very strong feed you may say, but if you give a moderate sufficiency it will furnish milk, and the pigs don't seem to get too fat, neither thump nor scour. The pigs will not be as plump as when sow is fed a richer ration, but they are more likely to live after they get started. Begin on the richer feed slowly and gradually.—Correspondent of the Indian Farmer. Work Horses and Their Feed. Bulletin 109 of the Iowa Station says that it has been found that oats are too expensive to feed in large quantities, and that the ration may be greatly cheapened by substituting oil meal, cotton seed meal, or gluten feed. The health, spirit and endurance of the horses was the same when fed corn in combination with one of these feeds as when oats were fed. These experiments show that oil meal may be worth as much as $60 a ton for horse feeding, and cottonseed meal a little more. The horses did a hard summer's work on these feeds without any considerable loss in flesh. These experiments are of great value to farmers everywhere, as the question of feeding the work horses cheaply, and at; the same time in such a way as to keep them in good flesh, is an important one. Remedy For Hoven or Bleat. The season for hoven or bloat in cattle approaches. We see in your columns many different remedies given, and all may be good (if time could be given them to meet the requirements of nature), but as we all know, this is a malady which requires immediate relief, or death will claim the animal. I have had a large experience in this, as a clover and cattle raiser, and use but one remedy alone which has never failed to work successfully, and I am sure, in some cases, in less than five minutes the animal would have died if it had not been given relief. I insert my hand into the mouth and take a firm hold upon the tongue, and in pulling, it out as far as possible the gas will escape at once. It may not all at once, but continue again and again if necessary until all has been removed. This does not in any way distress the animal nor injure the mouth or tongue. Most all other remedies are more or less painful and some even dangerous. The attacking with a knife is about as much risk as the disease.—E. Trumbo, in Ohio Farmer. Egg eating is usually aided or caused by soft-shelled eggs. To prevent this, have a supply of lime, or lime plaster, before, the fowls where they can easily get at it and give the feed in such a manner that theiens will be compelled to exercise for their feed. If once your fowls get into the habit of eating eggs, a remedy which I have found to answer better than any other, is to give the hens a supply of egg-shells for a few days. Infertile eggs, that have been set upon by broody hens or that have been removed from the incubator, will answer for purpose; or egg-shells obtained from the bakers or other business houses where eggs are largely used. The shells must be given as whole as possible, not broken, and the birds must be allowed to surfelt themselves with them. After several days of this the fowls will not touch eggs again, and, the cure will be complete. But there must be a large and continuous supply whil's it lasts, so that the shells artificially about the pen all the time. To use a nest with a false bottom is another way of preventing egg-eating, so that the eggs when laid disappear down an inclined board.

Of course, if you have many hens you will have to make several nests to accommodate all, and then all other nests must be closed or torn up. The trap nest has been quite an important factor in building up strains of heavy layers among most of the popular breeds to-day. Using it, the breeder, by a process of elimination and culling each year, breeds from only the best layers in his flock. The small fancier has been more successful along this line, as he has had only a few hens and had more time and cared more for his little flock. ```markdown ``` Trap Nest. The nest is made in two compartments. The box proper is fifteen inches square by thirty-two to thirty-six inches long. The hole or opening between the compartments need not be round as pictured unless you care to make it so, but it should be just large enough for a hen to pass through easily, and no larger. The size of the opening will depend upon whether you are rafting a large variety or a small variety. A large stiff wire is bent in the shape indicated, and the part passing over the opening is made to work freely up and down like a lever and under wire staples. When the hen starts to pass Nest Box. under the wire to get into the nest proper she lifts the wire arm up with her back and thus the other wire arm back from beneath the door, where it has been held up under the lid of the box, letting it drop in place. Blocks are fastened in front of the door so that the door can not be pushed out and the hen can not escape, no matter how hard she tries. The lid on top may be made of two separate lids or as one piece, as you please. With a little experimenting on your part you can bend the wire just at the right angle so that it will work perfectly each time. The wire arm over the opening should be placed high enough so that the hen will naturally want to pass under it instead of trying to step over it. The first compartment should be from four to six inches longer than the drop door is high, so the door will not strike the hen on the back as it is released. Each hen should have an aluminum or copper leg band on one of her legs with a number on it. Then as you release the hen you can put the egg down to her credit if she has laid one in the nest. Sometimes the hens will enter the nest from curiosity, and especially is this true when the system is first installed, but, after they become used to it they will seldom enter except to lay. To get the hens acquainted with the nest the door may be propped up for several days. The trap nest is excellent for sitting hens—you can release the hen to get her feed and trap the door, and then after she goes back on the nest she shuts the door after her and other hens can not enter to bother her or break her eggs. You can easily catch the hen that is an egg eater with the trap nest, as some of the broken egg will be found in the nest with her. The other illustration above is a double nest box for sitting hens; the method of fastening the door is shown by the L-shaped catch. You will notice that the nest is made quite deep, but does not have to be as long as the trap nest.—Indianapolis News. Investigate.

Heretofore, when a wall of concrete was to be erected, it was necessary first to put up a wooden form to pour the concrete into and remove the framework later. This required a large amount of lumber and a great deal of unnecessary labor. The machine here shown is a big improvement over this method. A frame support runs on tracks along the site of the wall. At one side of this support is a mold in which a core guide moves up and down on pulleys, at the top of the support. The concrete is poured into the mold through the core guide and the latter withdrawn. After the mixture has set the mold is moved along and another block poured out.—Washington Star.

In compliance with a request, I am showing you substitutes for cotton, both in the yarn and in plain and dyed piece goods, and also in combination with worsted. This is made from spruce wood pulp by a process invented by a Frenchman, and arrangements are being made for its extensive production both in England and on the continent, but I understand it is not as yet manufactured in this country. Although it is termed a substitute for cotton the samples will indicate that it does not have the identical effect, as it takes on dyes, bleaching and finishing more brilliantly than the cotton fiber. It will resist boiling in water or caustic potash solution for some minutes without change and its combustibility is certainly not more rapid than that of cotton. The cost of its manufacture is much lower than the market price of cotton. The fiber can be made of any length, as in the case of artificial silk, which it does not resemble in other characteristics, being, as was stated above, highly resistant to solutions. The strength of the yarn apparently exceeds that of cotton, although I have not any comparative tests.—Cotton. ```markdown ``` The bite of this microscopic insect whose life history has just been learned, produces in man several of the symptoms of smallpox.

Honor and Gender Nathan Moore was a negro in the employ of the Westmoreland Club of Richmond, Va. For several years he had been head doorkeeper. Thirty-one years he had served the club, and he wore on his left arm six gold stripes, one for every five years of service. When he grew ill the club still carried him on its pay roll, for many months. Then he died. There was an impressive funeral. The members of this oldest and most aristocratic club of Richmond assembled and marched in a body to the Second Baptist Church, colored, to attend the service. Such honor had never been paid to a member of the club. The negro still inspires, in the hearts of Southern men other sediments than those of lynching bees. In this case both the servant and the clubmen were honored by their action.

A baby tent used in Chicago is of hospital style, say, twelve by sixteen feet, with double roof, board floor and sides, and screen sides above the chair rails. Each tent holds eight iron beds, hammock, electric lights, two electric fans and a telephone. An annex tent is used for examinations, bathing and other care of baby. Open July 1 and closed September 15. In hottest weather tents are open Sundays, so as to block "blue Monday," for Monday is the worst day of the week. There is one nurse with one or two assistants, and sometimes a young physician spends a whole day at a tent. A milk depot is at each tent, and little besides milk commission is used. Only bables of the poor are taken and none over two years, because older ones cannot be kept in bed.-Tip in the New York Press. HARD TO PLEASE Regarding the Morning Cup. "Oh, how, hard it was to part with coffee, but the continued trouble with constipation and belching was such that I finally brought myself to leave it off. "Then the question was, what should we use for the morning drink? Tea was worse for us than coffee; chocolate and cocoa were soon tired, of; milk was not liked very well, and hot water we could not endure. "About two years ago we struck upon Postum and have never been without it since. "We have seven children. Our baby, now eighteen months old, would not take milk, so we tried Postum, and found she liked it and it agreed with her perfectly. She is to-day, and has been, one of the healthiest babies in the State. "I use about two-thirds Postum and one-third milk and a teaspoon of sugar, and put it into her bottle." If you could have seen her eyes sparkle and hear her say 'good' to-day, when I gave it to her, you would believe me that she likes it. "If I was matron of an infants' home, every child would be raised on Postum, Many of my friends say, 'You are looking so well!' I reply, 'I am well; I drink Postum. I have no more trouble with constipation, and know that I owe my good health to God and Postum."

Leeks for the Insides. Leeks, when well grown and bleached, are good for the insides. Baked leeks are fine, as are leeks in soup. For leeks to grow to their best and be well blanched it is high time now that plants should be put in trenches. Some gardeners sow under glass in February, transplant into boxes and are now putting plants into trenches. A leek trench is like a celery trench, only not so wide and deep. Put in a few inches of good ripe manure and mix it up with the soil. It is usually better to have the trenches ready some time before planting, as airing the soil helps. Set them eight inches apart, and do not press the soil very firmly around the stem. Most leeks come into market not well blancher, and the high-priced places pay about double for long, fat white ones, there being just as much difference between green and blanched leeks as there is between green and blanched celery.—Tip in the New York Press.

The unique manner in which a portion of a Missouri county obtained good roads will be of especial interest in Georgia, with sentiment for that issue at floodtide. It is not often that the aid of the pulpit is invoked in the cause of highway improvement, but that agency has set Jefferson Township, in Nodaway County, to unusual activity, according to the Kansas City Star. For several years Rev. Father F. P. Placid, pastor of the Catholic church at the Benedictine monastery, near Conception, Mo., preached to his people that the building of good roads constituted not only a civic, but a Christian duty. He pointed out in a series of sermons that bad or impassable thoroughfares caused farmers to stay at home on Sundays, which militated strongly against the uniform observance of their religious duties. He did not, however, confine his efforts to oral argument. And this is how our contemporary describes the manner in which the monastery with which he was affiliated set the nearby farmers a practical object lesson: "The monastery owns a section of fine land and several fine draft horses. The fathers didn't purpose to have their horses struggle along had roads every time they desired to drive to town or to market in the rainy season, or just after a rain in any season. The fathers began by grading the road from the monastery, Old Conception, to Conception, a distance of three miles. Then they chained two pieces of railroad iron together, and after a rain they dragged the road several times. That was several years ago. They have kept it up consistently ever since. The result is a road as smooth as a boulevard. There have been heavy rains in that section for a week; the creeks and branches are out of their banks and it is not possible for a horse to wade through the mud in some sections of that county or township. It is different with the three miles of road leading from the monastery to Conception. The week's rain, the heaviest of the year, has had little effect on the road, and it is possible for a team of horses pulling a loaded wagon to trot along this superior thoroughfare." Such initiative on part of the monastery had its logical effect upon the landowners of the surrounding territory. The roads are now dragged on an average of ten times a year, at a trifling expense after the first operation. The deadly rut has disappeared and from year's end to year's end the highways are passable to heavy loads hauled by one or two mules. The farmers view the movement as one of the best investments in their experience and the fever has spread to other sections of the county. Substantially, the interest of the clergy of Georgia in good roads is equal to that of the clergy of Missouri. Already many preachers of various denominations in this State have spoken a good word for the crusade that has so wonderfully inspired the industry of all classes of Georgians. Persistent agitation in this direction would not only exert a salutary influence on religious phases of community life; it would, as well, be reflected in commercial and industrial aspects. And the preachers are citizens as well as—preachers.—Atlanta Constitution. Cost of Neglect. It costs for transporting wheat by steamer from New York to Liverpool, 3100 miles, one-sixth less per bushel than it costs the farmer to haul his wheat 9.4 miles. These facts and figures show the vast importance of road improvement and justify the Government of the United States in experimenting with a view to improving the roads of the country and stimulating the interest of farmers in the work.—Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. State, Control Favored. State control of highway building, the making of surveys, establishing grades and maintaining a uniform system of roads; the power to enforce the building of highways in certain localities, and the authority to actually build them where the whole State would be equally benefited, are among the twentieth century requirements of State governments in the movement for good roads.-Kansas City Star. Automobiles Gave Stimulus. The automobile is an established fact, and it must be treated as a fact and provision made for it. It has given the present great impulse to road improvement in the United States, and this is a debt that the farmer, the chief enemy of the automobile, owes to it—Baltimore Sun. Savages and Talking Machines. Bishop Stinger, whose field is far up in the ice fields of the Yukon, has many Indians in his diocese, and while entertaining them with a lecture had a talking machine as a part of the lecture equipment.

Although he amassed his fortune, in Paris and Berlin, applying American methods of dentistry to royal and nobilious mouths, Dr. Evans left virtually his entire estate to the care of his native city, Philadelphia, for the establishment of institutions that should develop his profession. Consequently nearly one and a half million of dollars will be applied to the realization of the 'dentist's dream of a Thomas W. Evans Museum and Dental Institute. Philadelphia, which is already a world center of related medical education, will attain thereby, if it does not already possess, supremacy in the field of dental education.

It is impossible to raise a child on cow's milk without serious trouble, always with a touch of rickets, to say the least.

HOMES IN TREE STUMPS. Hollow Out the Stump, Cut Holes for Doors and Windows. The fine firs of the Pacific northwest are so colossal that after the trees are hewed down the stumps are used for children's playgrounds, houses for families to live in or for dancing platforms. To make a stump house the material from the interior is removed, leaving only enough to form walls of suitable thickness. A roof of boards or shingles is put over the top of the stump, holes are cut for windows and doors, and a family of five can and often does make it their dwelling. The stump houses are sometimes used by settlers until they can build larger and more convenient homes. After the stump home has been vacated it is turned into a stable for the horses or sometimes into an enclosure for chickens or hogs. Next to the big tree of California the fir or sequoia of Washington and Oregon has the largest diameter. As they decay rapidly the hollowing out is easy. Sometimes they are used for dance platforms, some of them accommodating as many as four couples. Another custom is to turn the big stumps into playgrounds for the children. The children reach the top by pieces of wood nailed against the sides or by ladders. A beautiful use of the large stumps is making them into flower beds and covered over with trailing vines.—Chicago Tribune SOMETHING SWELL Mr.Bigheart—Wiggins, old boy, we have raised fifty dollars to get the boss a Christmas present, and we want something that will make a show for the money—something that will look big, you know.

The increasing number of motors is leading to the rapid diminishment of physicians, for one doctor now can see more patients in a day than two could ten years ago. Good newspapers are doing their part by teaching the people so to live as to require fewer doctors. Catching disease causing insanity is sadly on the increase in Europe, as is especially shown by the numbers of insane patients suffering from general paralysis admitted into the Prussian lunatic asylums; these during 1888-90 were 995 males and 222 females, while during the year 1908 alone the number of cases rose to 2,270 males and, 660 females. Something dreadfully wrong in the rest of Europe when such terrible numbers happen in Prussia, the best run part of Europe. Immigration examiners would better keep their eyes skinned to see whose skin slips. Dr. Blaschko collected statistics from "sick clubs," and found in a "clerk's sick club" 16 per cent. had it. In a workingman's club it was only 4 per cent. In a club of veterinary students, 25 per cent.—Tip, in the New York Press. NATURAL "And did your wife die a natural death?" "Oh, yes.

I could not walk across the floor without my heart fluttering and I could not even receive a letter. Every month I had such a bearing down sensation, as if the lower parts would fall out. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done my nerves a great deal of good and has also relieved the bearing down. I recommended it to some friends and two of them have been greatly benefited by it."—Mrs. MAE MKNIGHT, Oronogo, Mo. Another Grateful Woman. St. Louis, Mo.—"I was bothered terribly with a female weakness and had backache, bearing down pains and pains in lower parts. I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound regularly and used the Sanative Wash and now I have no more troubles that way."—Mrs. AL HERZOG, 6722 Prescott Ave., St. Louis, Mo. Because your case is a difficult one, doctors having done you no good, do not continue to suffer without giving Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. It surely has cured many cases of female lills, such as inflammation, ulceration, displacements, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and nervous prostration.

To insure its publication in the current week's issue such articles must reach us by Tuesday morning. Articles must be plainly written, on one side of the paper, and must be short. The Grand Chapter, O. E. S. meets August 16th at Americus, Ga. Each Chapter must be fully represented. If the Mason who does not read could realize what a pitiful exhibition of ignorance he makes in any company where current Masonic topics are discussed, he would speedily subscribe for a Masonic paper—Masonic Standard. Whoever joins the Masonic fraternity must neither expect nor aim at external benefits; his sole endeavor should be only the moral improvement of his character in order to gain the most valuable gift of life; truth, charity and beauty forming the standard of self-perfection. — Illinois Freemason. IGNORANT MASONS. A man may bear the name of a Mason and yet have little or no information pertaining to the Masonic system and organization. There are Craftsmen who have taken many steps in the way of advancement through successive degrees, to whom the symbolism the rituals, and the history of the Royal Art are as a sealed book. The smaller the number of such a class the better it is for the Fraternity. EQUALITY OF CHANCE. Opportunity is all the true man asks, equality of chance with the boundless future before him, limited only by his capacity to do and to be. This privilege will not be denied while the humble and mighty meet around the Masonic board as equal guests, and know and feel that prosperity is doubled, adversity halved, by sharing with one's fellowmen.—Chester W. Barrows, Rhode Island. --- Man has come out of barbarism, out of ignorance, out of love of cruelty as his greatest pleasure, out of idolatry. It has been a hard struggle for him to get where he is, in an age of budding brotherhood, of a conception of the true God, of school houses and churches and hospitals, and it is something of a struggle for him to remain. In his present development, for he is full of savage instincts, Masonry is 12 BAY STREET, EAST. the product of his better thoughts, his divine aspirations, his pure nature. He gathered together vital truths and eternal principles, a description of his duty to himself, his fellows and his God, and made them into a Mosaic. He called it Masonry. — J. B. McFatrich. INTELLIGENCE AND INTELLIGENCE AND CHARACTER. Intelligence and character are the greatest factors of modern civilization, and hand in hand with faith they must proceed to suppress ignorance and superstition, prejudice and vice, corruption and crime, wherever they may be found in our social and political fabric, not like Alexander stopping at the sea, but ever onward, diffusing the sunlight of hope and liberty, until it shall enjoy the blessings of right and freedom, and through undying ages, when empires have crumbled and diadems faded, be united in one great brotherhood with equal opportunities for all.—A. O. Eberhart, Minnesota. ANOTHER SORT OF COMMENCEMENT. Booker Washington's commencement day is a revelation. It is industrialism brought to the front. It dispenses with all the old ceremonies, and, as might be expected, it is divorced of the frivolities which have become associated with the classical commencement. It was the twenty-ninth annual exercise of Tuskegee Institute, and President Washington was equal to the occasion. The cheap and rather tiresome routine of parades, smokers, addresses, gowns—as The Literary Digest expresses it, "the antic"—of the ordinary commencement, were not in sight. They would certainly have been out of place, as much so as a sea shell incasing a land animal. Our great trouble is that in educational matters we have not been willing to let "the dead past bury its own dead." The program, allowing for racial taste and power, gave music as a strong feature—a modicum of classic music, but mostly folklore songs. There was nothing trivial or nonsensical about the singing as has come to be the way so frequently with college songs; but there were melodics that came from the heart and went to the heart. So far it was the Negro race at its best. It remained to see whether the Negro race could come out as distinctly in the rest or the program. The platform made no show of tilted dignitaries, but it was covered from end to end with symbols of the work done by the graduates. At one end of the platform a fireplace was built of brick and mortar and tiling. Then came a section of a house, un finished, but exhibiting the constructive skill of the pupils. Engines and turning lathes came next, and after them a milk separator, and whatever else indicates scientific dairying. Horticulture had full illustration; and housekeeping. One might almost imagine himself at a first class agricultural fair, when his eyes fell upon groups of splendid vegetables and fruit plants grown by the students themselves—and why not? This had been the work of these boys and girls, and they were to graduate into the world as industrial citizens. In the afternoon the stage was reset with machinery and appliances for working the trades taught by the institute. A blacksmith's forge and anvil were accompanied by a shoemaker's bench, and some of his work. The girls made an exhibit of their skill in dressmaking and mattressmaking. At the whistle of the steam engine, which was on the stage, there was an exhibition of the different industries. There were a few speeches; one of them, the salutatory, being a plain, straightforward talk about how to manage a dairy. The salutatorian appeared in his business uniform, and while he analyzed milk, illustrating the most approved methods of sterilizing and buttermaking, he talked in a straightforward way that everybody could understand. A young woman discussed the growing of flowers as an occupation, and she, too, was dressed in the very clothes she would use in the greenhouse or garden. This was the style of the oratorical side of the program. The baccalaureate boiled into a five-minute straight-from-the-shoulder talk from President Washington, gave plain and simple advice, directing his graduates into a practical and practicable method of making themselves useful and successful. We are not offering this commencement at Tuskegee as an entire novelty. Something very similar has occurred in connection with our agricultural colleges for the last ten years or more. It seems to fit to modern life, thought and needs; and we do not see that the absence of gowns and degrees and orations will be severely felt by the people. If the object of commencement is to show what the graduates have learned, is not this the right way? Why not have a modernized commencement? —Editorial: New York Independent, June 30th.

Johnson in his prosperity remembered old associates with gifts. Owing to the injury of Francis Grenfell the international polo match is off for this year. J. A. Drexel broke the British aeroplane record for height by ascending 2493 feet at Bournemouth. "Stick a pin in the prediction that the Futurity will be run at Sheepshead Bay," said a well posted racing man. Sam Langford, through his manager, Joseph Woodman, intends to place Johnson on record regarding a fight for the latter's title. "Bud" Goodwin, of the New York A. C., retained his title as 440-yard swimming champion of the Metropolitan Association of the A. A. U. at Travers Island. Jeffries was knocked out to all intents and purposes, but, as a matter of fact, the fight was awarded to Johnson on the technical disqualification of his opponent. The much talked of and keenly anticipated international polo match for the cup, brought back to this country last by the Meadowbrook team, has been declared off. Johnson does not qualify the statement that his most formidable rival is Al Kaufman. "He's a young fellow, much stronger, more active and a harder hitter than Jeffries," says the big negro champion. Miss Turtle, of Brooklyn, successfully defended, at Atlanta, her title of Southern woman tennis champion by defeating Miss Sullivan, of Birmingham, 6-3, 4-6, 7-5. The intense heat caused Miss Sullivan to faint at the conclusion of the match. April 1. This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other three, hundred and sixty-four.
