THE PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO IN AMERICA Emmet J. Scott, secretary to Booker T. Washington, in an emancipation address June 20, 1910, among other things, sald: "As Dr. George Sale, a fellow member with me of the American Commission to Liberla, has said: 'Returning again to America and looking once more into the faces of Negro congregations and students, realizing that there are ten millions of Negroes in this country—five times the entire population of Liberla, and thinking of the marvelous progress of our own Negroes in all lines, the thought comes with something of a shock that probably by no method of mission that we know could so large a body of Africans be Christianized and civilized on the continent of Africa in the same space of time as has been evangelized in America through slavery and its whole chain of consequences; that when the first Negro slaves were landed on our shores there was begun a movement which, not in its motives nor in its spirit, but certainly in its results, was the greatest missionary movement for Africans that world has known. No thanks to us, indeed, but to that wise providence which eso often in history has made the wrath and the cruelty and the greed of men to praise him." "Last year I went to Liberia and to Sierre Leone, on the West coast of Africa, as the Negro member of the commission appointed by President Taft to investigate conditions affecting the little black republic, which owes its foundation to American initiative. A comparison of what I saw in Liberia and Sierre Leone, one under black rule as a republic, and the other under the dominance of British control, with the present moral, material and educational status of the Negro people of the United States, justifies me in the belief that without that 'first missionary movement' in 1619 that brought the first twenty slaves into America we should be not much further advanced in the arts of civilization than the teeming millions who now people the Black continent. "It is a deliberately stated opinion when I say that nowhere else on the face of the globe can one find ten million Negro people who are the equals in character, in ambition, in achievement, in promise, of the ten million of the United States of America, who were themselves, or their ancestors, slaves. However unpleasant it may be to confess it, slavery, with its horrors, was used by God to work out a mighty purpose. "Slavery did one other thing: It knitted together in indisoluble tiles of affection the white and the black; it laid the foundations for a trustfulness on the part of the blacks and a reciprocal helpfulness on the part of the waites which have survived the horrors of reconstruction—a period of reconstruction—a period of great trial to both races—and triumphed over the violent appeal of those who would stir the fires of racial bitterness, and realised every effort to tear the races apart." The future historian will greatly modify the rank and rabid views of slavery preached up to and after the Civil war. This writer's views have been much modified by the facts. Raised on a plantation with slaves; raised to work with them; raised under the same benign influences with them, we were an out-and-out abolitionist. But no political philosopher can contemplate the results of slavery, and the results of what followed emancipation without feeling that the whole business was misunderstood in its Pointed Paragraphs. Still, even a blind asylum may be a sightly place. A woman never has as much faith in her husband as she has in some special kind of patent medicine: If a man wishes to make a hit with a woman, he should ascertain the brand of fattery to which she is partial.—Chicago News. Reflections of a Bachelor. Punishment stimulates the conscience most. A girl believes, she can make a man love her by telling him he does. BY J. B. GAMBRELL spirit and bearing. 'Slavery perse is always adhorreht; but any question is to be studied in its environments, and everything must be judged by its fruits. This is the divine rule. It is abhorrent to contemplate the seizing of a child and taking it from its parents and giving it over to the care and authority of some one else but this is often done—was done lately. But what delights all lovers of humanity is the progress the Negroes are making. The same speaker says further: "I could quite at length discuss our progress since freedom dawned. We have not died out; we have not wilted in the presence of the severe competition of present-day life; we have reduced our illiteracy more than half, and in the elements of civilization, the ambition and ability to save and own a home or farm, we have done well. No less an authority that Mr. Andrew Carnegie pays us this tribute: 'In 1900 no less than 746,717 farms 38,233,933 acres, 59,741 square miles just the area of England and Wales, or double that of Scotland, were owned or tenanted by Negroes; i. e., they were either landlords or farmers. When we come to farms in the hands of owners we find that in the twelve southern states Negro landlords in 1900 owned 173,352 farms, and the aggregate wealth of Negroes was estimated at $300,000,000. The race that owned not an acre of land forty years ago is now possessor as landlords of an area larger than Belgium and Holland combined, and rapidly increasing.' "The figures take no account of our progress in other directions—in the professions, in establishing enterprises, in maintaining great church and secular organizations of one kind and another, in establishing insurance companies, Negro towns and that highest of all proofs of civilization, the ability to conduct banking enterprises. Of these latter there are now some fifty-four throughout the country, wholly in the south, with one exception, four in the state of Texas alone, and being located right here at Houston." This writer glories in every indication of Negro progress. His southern pride is in it. His intimate love of a race he has lived with all his life is in it. His sense of manhood and chivalry is in it. His love of the souls of men is in it. Every drop of our southern blood bolls when some rabid politician seeks to turn from the Negroes the helping hand of the whites, or when the whole race is berated for the sins of the worst of the race. Southern calvalry ought to rally us to the high plane of justice, mercy and Christian helpfulness. And the "white man's burden" ought to be rightly saddled on the white man. Take the vile crimes of the Negro reprobates and trace them to their ultimate source. Where is it? In the white man's barroom. White men are in control. If they have a burden they are making it for themselves. A tithe of the money spent on vice and the debauchery of the untaught Negroes given to their elevation would put them where they could carry their own burdens and lift mightily at the world burden in Africa. Emnett J. Scott was one of the commissioners sent by President Taft to look into the condition of affairs in Liberia, the republic of Africa. His opportunities for judging of the broad situation have been uncommonly good. The speaker goes on to say: "We have been at work, and have worked hard, but the progress of the ·For a Chance.

SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1910. masses of our people could not have been made without the tremendous help and encouragement which have come to us from southern men and women as individuals, and through southern state legislatures, which have contributed so liberally toward our education, no less than the help and encouragement which have come to us from the north. I like to bear testimony to the kindly good feeling which in the main has existed between the races. The most influential, the most learned, the most aristocratic of the white people of the south have never been ashamed to lend us a helping hand, nor to speak out resolutely when reactionary programs have been proposed. I remember hearing Hon. Henry Watterson, southerner of southerners, speaking in Carnegie hall, New York city, declare: "I wish nothing for myself, nor for my children, nor for my children's children, that I am not willing for the Negro to have for himself and his children and his children's children." The editor of the Baptist Standard joins Mr. Waterson. There are troubles ahead for all of us, but they will be less if we will all be just, righteous, humane and considerate. The white men who are willing to degrade the Negroes to make money are themselves barbarians. The treatment of the weak is always the supreme test of the real character of a man. It is for us to show ourselves worthy to control this country by our hearing to those in a large measure helpless.—Baptist Standard. With the Paragrapheis.

Are you one of the girls who are given to moping, to looking fearfully into the future, or to lamenting the past? There is no surer cure for those unhappiness breeders than to cultivate the clean slate habit. What is it? Live a day at a time. Start each morning with a fresh record to be made. This must not be muddled with the blurs of yesterday nor the possible blots of tomorrow. The girl who gets the clean slate habit, realizing the value of living but a day at atime, determines to make that day as bright and helpful as she can. She seeks to write upon it only pleasant things. If the disagreeable ones must go down, she looks forward to the morrow when they can be rubbed out, though perhaps they must be rewritten. Try it just one day. Begin - this morning to rub out of your recollection the things you failed to do and the things you may fail in doing. Determine, until you go to bed tonight, to live for the next thing as well and as cheerfully as you can. If a day so spent is not entirely as you would spend it, at least the average happiness is higher than if you passed the hours in vain regrets and valuer forebodings until no strength is left for sane living. FRENCH GIRL DRIVERS. Three of the tinleast,-prettiest and speediest Vendome monoplanes are now on their way across the ocean and are expected in about a week. These dainty little air craft promise to be just the thing to satisfy the growing fad for aviation among American women. Ever since Clifford Harmon took up in his Farman biplane Mrs. Harmon, Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt and other women have declared their desire to go aeroplaning. It is announced that three pretty ODD NOTES OF THE PREVAILING STYLES. Monogrammed bags of linen, with clasps of gold or silver, are embroidered to match the frock, says a writer in Art de la Mode. It is very smart to have the hat, parasol, pumps and fan match in material and show similar touches of embrodery. A point to remember is that the sleeve of a lingerie frock looks much more graceful, if put into the armeye with a narrow beading. It is very little more trouble than sewing the sleeve directly into the seam of the armeye, and gives a much prettier effect. One of the novelties in the scarf line is a deep fichu in old rose hue, fashioned from a cord resembling macrane and edged with a deep, silk fringe in self color. In making a guimpe put the chiffon over your lace instead of under. This not only is pleasing to the eye, but the renovating of a yoke-is simple, for the chiffon is easily replaced with the lace-is intact. NO.49. WOMAN'S REALM French women aviators are to follow to this country shortly after the arrival of these small airships. They will be costumed as the woman aviator should be and will be prepared to demonstrate and instruct women in the art of flying. Yves de Villiers, the representative for the Vendome acroplane, was at Mineola, L. I., recently and said that the little monoplanes are being brought to this country as quickly as possible. At least one of the three machines will be shipped to the aviation grounds in Mineola, where it will make daily flights. It is the smallest one-person flyabout in the world, and weighs sixty pounds less than the famous Santos-Dumont Demoiselle. The Vendome monoplane is the work of Raoul Vendome, a French builder of aeroplanes. It is equipped with a twelve-horse-power Anzani motor and complete, ready for flying, weighs 180 pounds. The spread of the wings from tip to tip is only sixteen feet. The steering rudder is operated with the feet, something like the Farman biplane is operated, while the elevating planes are controlled by a lever. The operator is nestled in a cozy seat cut out in the center of the wings of the little gocart of the air—New York World. ALICE ROOSEVELT-LONGWORTH ASKED TO QUIT HER CIGARETTES. At a union meeting of the four Christian Young People's societies, of Fairbury, Neb., it was unanimously voted to write an open letter to Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, daughter of former President Roosevelt, asking her to forego cigarettes, because of the evil influence it is bound to have on girls and boys in the country, according to their notions. The four societies taking this action are the Epworth league, the Baptist Young People's union and the Christian Endeavor societies of the Chrtsian and Presbyterian churches. ON SENSITIVE FEET. Now that the time for outdoor sports is at hand, the athletic girl will spend much of the day in her heavy outing shoes or tennis boots. If the feet are sensitive this may cause annoyance and burning to an extent that almost does away with the good effects of the outdoor exercise. The change is especially trying, because the ordinary footgear of summer is exceptionally light and cool. If before putting on your heavy shoes, you dust them thickly with talcum powder, the disagreeable effecta of the change will be largely overcome. DONT'S FOR STOUT WOMEN. The stout woman must not "slump." Her one safeguard is an erect carriage—head up, chest up, abdomen in. This wards off the fleshy back. The stout woman must train herself to light walking. Nothing shows her weight like dragging her feet and clumping heavily. Nor must she permit herself to relax. Negligees, comfort, and down-at-the-heel attire are not for her. She should keep trim, though she nearly passes away with heat. She must be dignified. It moves the onlooker to tears to see the stout full of alrs, graces and kittenish coyness. Her dignity should not interfere with follity; the hearty laugh is a hallmark of avoidinpols. She must discriminate in styles. Put her in a blicorne hat, peasant drapery, and chantecel colorings, and she need not be surprised at criticism. Annual Vacation. "How is that Cincinnati anti-kissing club getting on?"

The third annual convention of the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses will be held in Phiadelphia, Pa., August 16, 17, 18, 1910, at St. Peter Claver's auditorium Twelfth and Lombard streets. Nurses throughout the country are earnestly requested to attend this meeting. Matters of importance to the profession at large and all others interested in the bettering of conditions are to be ventilated. Plans for immediately beginning active work in the tuberculosis crusade are to be presented and it is sincerely hoped that the support of the public and the hearty co-operation of all nurses will be given this great and good movement.

The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business.

The Pope Orders That the Lazaretto of Santa Marta, Built Inside the Vatican, By Pope Leo, Be Prepared for, Emergency—Priests Instructed to Aid Civil Authorities. Bari, Italy (Special)—The epidemic of cholera, which has broken out in Southern Italy, is steadily showing an increase in the districts affected, particularly in the town of Trani, where the number of deaths already is more than 30. The latest official report gave 20 deaths at Trani, showing the rapidity with which the disease is increasing there. The epidemic is of a virulent type and the death rate is high. Even graver danger is anticipated from the flying population of the infected districts, who may bear the germs of the disease to regions not yet involved. Trani seems almost deserted as a result of the panic, 20,000 of the residents, fully one half of the population, having died the town. Fully as many have escaped from the island town of Barletta. Rome (Special) —Rumors that the epidemic of cholera, which has broken out in Apulia, had spread to Rome are emphatically denied. There have been no cases here and the general health conditions in Rome are excellent, better than at any time during the past 10 years. Although the danger of infection is not felt here, the Pope, ordered the Lazaretto of Santa Maria, built inside the Vatican by Pope Leo in 1885, during the great cholera epidemic at Naples, but never used because of the absence of cholera patients, made ready for any emergency. The hospital, instead, has been employed to shelter pilgrims from all countries, including parties of American sailors who have visited Rome from American warships lying in Italian ports. The influence of the church is to be used to asist the civil authorities in fighting the epidemic, the clergy having been instructed to use all means to enforce compliance with the sanitary regulations on the part of their parishioners. No final decision has been taken regards ing the proposed departure of King Victor for the cholera region. The King, it is said has determined to proceed personally to the cholera region, more serious, in which case Queen Helena, it is said, will insist upon accompanying him. BACK FROM MT. McKINLEY. Prof: Parker Says Cook Was Ten Miles From Summit. Soward, Alaska (Special)—The Parker-Browne Mount McKinley expedition passed through here and sailed for Seattle. The party failed to climb Mount McKinley, and members declare that they have conclusive proof that Dr. Cook never reached the summit and that the peak which he reported as the summit is fully 10 miles from the real summit. Prof. Hirschsel Parker took photos of this peak, which he says can easily be identified as pictures of the peak that Cook made. Among the party were Professor Parker, of Columbia; Professor Cuntz, of Stevena Tustitue, Hoboken; Herman S. Stuckens, of Newton, Mass., and Waldemar Grasne, of Columbia University. Professor Parker doubts the claims made by Tom Lloyd, of Fairbanks, that he and his companions climbed McKinley from the Fairbanks side. Clears Car With Hat Pin Philadelphia, Pa. (Special)—Violet Ida Adams, a modishly attired young woman of South Fifth street, created a panic in a Spruce street stroller car when she drew a hatpin and opened an attack upon 10 passengers and the car crew. She began the attack by smashing a young man in the face with her first because he apparently scrutinized her too closely. When she had finished him, the conductor and motorman were driven from the car, then each passenger in turn was jabbed with the woman's weapon. She was captured by a patrol load of policemen from the Sixteenth district and taken to the Philadelphia Hospital. One Dead. One Wounded. Dalton, Ga. (Special)—Meagre reports of the killing of a young man named Patterson and the wounding of another man named Teems at Wood Station, Catoosa county, have reached Dalton. The authorities here have been telephoning a description of the alleged slayer, of Patterson—John Brockman—who left immediately after the tragedy, headed in this direction. A pose is searching the surrounding country thoroughly. The cause of the shooting is said to have been family troubles. $7.50 To Dine With Roosevelt. ! Chicago, (Special)—It will cost $7.50 to dine with Colonel Roosevelt at the Congress Hotel on the night of September 8. Besides, one must first have an invitation from the Hamilton Club, whose guest he will be, and then draw for a chance to be a favored one. Engraved invitations with cards setting forth that the drawing for tickets will take place at 2 o'clock, August 29, have been issued. 15 Passenger. Dirigible San Francisco, Cal.

(Special)—Arrested on the complaint of a former sweetheart, Anton Eiltzer, who charged her with annoying him, Minnie Kritchner, aged 22 years, shot and killed herself in the detention-room of police headquarters. The matron of the prison had just entered to search the girl, when she suddenly drew the revolver, from the bosom of her dress, placed it behind her right ear and fired. The bullet lodged in her brain. "Tell him I love him," she exclaimed, as she fired. Man Whom Oklahoma Senator Charged With Offering Him a Bribe. Also States That Vice-President and Senator Curtis Were Not Interested. Sulphur, Okla. (Special)—"It has been charged that you, through Jake L. Hamon, offered Senator T. P. Gore $25,000 or $50,000 as a bribe to influence him in Congress to withdraw opposition to the approval of your contracts. Did you or did you not offer Senator Gore such a bribe?" "No," replied J. F. McMurray, to this question when asked at the hearing before the congressional committee investigating Indian land affairs. Mr. McMurray, who holds contracts with Chickasaw and Choostau Indians for the sale of $30,000,000 worth of land in this State on a 10 per cent, contingent fee basis, was on the stand all day. The questions were propounded to him by Cecil H. Smith, his counsel. "Did you ever tell any one that VicePresident Sherman had any interest in your contracts?" "I never did," answered McMurray. "Did you authorize Hamon to say Mr. Sherman was interested?" "I did not." "Did Senator Charles Curtiss, of Kansas, ever have any interest in the contracts?" "He never did.; and I never told any one that he did." "Did you ever tell anyone that Congressman B. S. McGuire had any interest in any of your contracts?" "I never did." "Has any member of Congress or any employee of any department of the government any interest in your contracts?" "They have not." Describing his contracts as a plain business proposition, Mr. McMurray told of his relations with the Indiana, begun in 1899. In the first contracts for the sale of the land Cecil Lyon, National Republican Committeeman from Texas, was a partner, McMurray said. These contracts were disapproved by President Roosevelt in 1908, and Mr. L. leased to be connected with them. Mr. McMurray said he then employed as counsel former Senator J. M. Thurston, of Nebraska; former Senator C. I. Long, of Kansas, and Richard C. Adams, of Washington. The witness denied that he ever offered $25,000 as a bribe to D. C. McCurtain, a Choctaw lawyer. McCurtain had testified that the offer had been made to him in connection with the old tribal contracts. Mr. McMurray testified that he had called twice on Senator Gore after May 6 (the date on which the Senator said Hamon tried to bribe him), and the Senator had made no reference to the alleged offer of bribery to him. He had not heard of it until Gore's speech in the Senate which was made on June 24. Jacob L. Hamon, mentioned by Senator Gore as the man who offered the bribe in McMurray's behalf, took the stand and denied he had ever made such an offer. FLORIDA LIMITED DERAILED. Twenty-Seven Passengers Injured On Southern. Washington, D. C. (Special)—The general-office of the Southern Railway issued the following statement regarding the wreck of the Florida Limited, northbound, near Rockton, S. C. "The engine remained on the track, but the combination express and baggage car and two coaches were derailed. Three sleeping cars left the track, but remained upright. The accident occurred about 10 o'clock P. M. The cause has not yet been ascertained, as the track is in good condition at the point where the train was first derailed. A further investigation will be made. "No persons were killed. Twenty-seven passengers—S white and 19 colored—report slight injuries, but were all able to proceed on their journey, with the exception of A. D. Ruden, of Atlanta, Ga. who was injured about the head, and who is under the care of a physician at Columbia, S. C."

NEARLY OVERTHROW MADRIZ Zeliya's Wife Plotted to Make Dr. Irias President. San Jose, Costa Rica (Special)—Quick work on, the part of President Madriz, of Nicaragua, prevented the overthrow of his government. According to information which has reached here from Managua, from an unquestionably reliable source, Mime. Zelayn, the wife of the deposed president of Nicaragua, organized a conspiracy to overthrow Madriz and install Dr. Irias. The conspirators had progressed to a point where they were almost ready to spring the trap, when one of the trusted followers of Mime Zelaya got drunk and gave the plot away. President Madriz took summary steps to prevent the conspiracy from being carried out, and the photos were framed. Mime, Zelaya was ordered to leave the country forthwith, and Madriz took pains to see that she was placed on board the steamer San Jose, bound from Corinto to Panama, with a through ticket to Eurone. Dr. Irias, who held a place in the Madriz cabinet was invited to resign, and the lesser figures in the conspiracy were thrown into prison. FOR PANAMA EXPOSITION.

SO FAR TO DEFRAY EXPENSE OF EXECUTING SAME ATTEMPT TO FLY TO LONDON HE FAILS IN ATTEMPT TO FLY TO LONDON Determined, However, to Complete His Remarkable Journey From the French to the English Capital—The Young American Aviator Now Recognized as an Agent of General Zelaya. Chatham, England (Special)—Two accidents to his monoplane brought down to earth the American aviator, John B. Moissant, who the day before made a remarkable flight across the English Channel, with a passenger, in a daring attempt to fly from Paris to London. Moissant's aeroplane lies partially wrecked in a brick field near Rainham, Kent, some 30 miles from London. By a remarkable stroke of fortune, which seemed to have followed the almost unknown and inexperienced aviator on the first two days of his flight, Moissant and his mechanician, Albert Fleuex, escaped unhurt. But the machine came heavily to the ground, alighting in a narrow space banked high around with earth and piles of broken brick. There it is likely to remain until it can be removed piecemeal and refitted with parts now on their way from Paris to replace those that were broken by the fall. Moissant resumed his flight from Tilmanstone at 4:55 o'clock A. M. The weather was clear and hardly a breeze stirred the air. Everything seemed most favorable to the beaccomplishment of his hopes, but at 7 o'clock he was obliged to descend near Sittingbourne. A small pin had become displaced, and almost from the start it gave the aviator trouble. After this defect was repaired Moissant rescheduled, but before he had gone many miles a connecting rod was, broken, which forced him to use the planes to reach the ground. VIRGINIA'S GIFT ACCEPTED.

Versailles (Special)—In the Napoleon Hall of the Chateau of Versailles, in the presence of the French Minister of War, General Brun; the French Ambassador to the United States, M. Jusserand, and his wife, and the American Ambassador, Robert Bacon, and Mrs. Bacon, the bronze replica of Houdon's celebrated statue of Washington in the State House at Richmond, Va., presented by the State of Virginia to the French Republic, was dedicated with appropriate ceremonies.

Reno (Special)—Governor Dickerson, enraged by a story which appeared in a Reno paper on the selection of a new prison site, went into the office of the Carson News, which is edited by George A. Dickerson, a former diplomat to know If Montrose wrote the article. Montrose said he did not, but that if he had he would not be afraid to acknowledge it.

Big Buildings Are Reduced to Ashes With Great Rapidity on Account of the Inflammable Nature of Their Contents—Burning Cork Scatters the Fire—Tentement Dwellers Are Driven to the Streets. New York (Special).—Fire in the warehouse division of Jersey City caused damage estimated at $1,000,000. Chief Croker and five engines from New York hurried across the Hudson to aid the Jersey firemen and dynamite was used frequently. The fire started in the plant of Truslow & Fulle, manufacturers of cork products, at Washington and Morgan steets. The flaming light cork was carried by the wind and ignited the plant of the Riegel Sack Company across the street. A few minutes later the Independent Baking Powder Works were burning. Then working up Washington street, the fire attacked the W. Amos & Co. spike works and the Butter Bros. notion warehouse. The entire Jersey City fire department was on the scene at this stage, and the baking powder plant was demolished with dynamite. But as the flames continued to spread aid was summoned from New York, and the two departments worked together. The vicinity is fringed with old wooden tenement houses, occupied mainly by Polak dock laborers and their families, and thousands poured into the streets, wailing and dragging their belongings. The streets were soon congested with furniture and other household articles, seriously hampering the firemen and affording loot for hoodlums. Only on serious accident was reported. The victim was Spencer Babcock, a fireman, who was knocked unconscious by a live wire. PHILANTHROPIST DEAD David Ranken, Jr., Who Gave Away Fortune of $3,000,000. Atlantic City, N. J.

He was born at Boystown, County Londonderry, Ireland, October 3, 1835. He was educated at Belfast Academy. Coming to the United States in 1862 he settled in St. Louis, where he remained a bachelor while amassing a fortune in the real estate and financial business. He was a director of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and a member of the Business Men's League. CANT SHUT HER MOUTH Waterbury Girl Yawns and Jaws Refuse to Close. Waterbury (Special)—Physicians are puzzled by the case of May Fielding, of Cherry street, whose jaw, is set so tight she cannot close it. She is in a partially comatose state, following hysterics and severe fainting spells, and it is feared she may not recover. She was employed by the Waterbury Clock Company, and all last week looked forward to the picnic. At the outing she was the merriest of the crowd. Returning to her home, she sat in a rocking chair and yawned several times in succession. Finally her jaws refused to close. CRACK POSTOFFICE SAFE Burglars In Auto Pay Visit to Grove- land, N. J. Auburn, N. Y.

Selfish Youth. "Youth is apt to be selfish," said Mrs. Mary E. Wilkins-Freeman, the distinguished novelist, at a Matuchan picnic. "Woman in her youth," she went on, "is especially apt to be selfish. I never forget the story of the young man from Boston, who stood in the center of Boston common in a downpour of torrential rain. "As he stood there, soaked to the skin, a little boy in a mackintosh coated him. "Excuse me, sir," said the boy, "but are you the gentleman who is waiting for Miss Endicott? "Yes, the young, man answered. "Well, said the boy, 'she asked me to tell you she'd be here, just as soon as it clears up.'" HEARD IN A GROCERY STORY. CROLLER'S TEA COFFEE SINCE 1830 "I just had a fall on your sidewalk." "I am very sorry, my dear sir." "Well, I wish you would sell your sugar straight and put your sand on the sidewalk." Excellent Definition. "Bjornstjerne Bjornson, in his hotel fronting the Tulleries gardens, received a few friends up to the last in Paris," said the continental agent of a typewriter firm. "I had the honor to be among those friends and I never weared of the great Norseman's wit and wisdom. "The last thing he said, to me, in cautioning me not to give an important provincial agency to an easy-going man of the world, was this: "Beware the easy-going man. An easy-going man, you know, is one who makes the path of life very rough and difficult for somebody else." Faults In American Character. In an address on botanical education in America, Prof. W. F. Ganong remarks that "disregard of particulars and a tendency to easy generalities are fundamental faults in American character," and he insists upon the necessity of laboratory and experimental work in all scientific study. Books "ease the wits," but independent observation is the source of sound knowledge in science. Thinking of Curtain Lectures.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1910 The democratic, primary on Tuesday surprised many by nominating Hoke Smith for another term as governor. The Negro advocate of lily whiteism is in the party simply for what he gets out of it. To him principle is an unknown quantity. About a month more and our public schools will again be opened, but there will be no increased facilities for the thousands of children that are not able to get seats. Is this not sufficient to make every fond parent act in a manner that would assist in getting another building? THESE are strenuous times in Republican politics. The outcome will be awaited. It is assured that unless there is complete harmony among the leaders, and a less tendency in certain states to ignore party organizations, the party will be badly on the defensive this fall and also two years hence. The present city administration is noted for the fair treatment that is accorded the colored people especially by the police department. But it has been reported to us that two detectives without cause brutally assaulted a colored man while under arrest on Monday. The citizen who saw it is advised to report to the Mayor as soon as he is able to return to his office. It is known that this administration will not stand for any form of brutality towards prisoners. In a no uncertain way the progress of the Negro is noted on all all sides, the other disadvantages notwithstanding. The following excerpt from The New York World only accentuates it: How rapid has been the rise of the How race during the last ten years as a property-owning class in the South is shown in a publication of the Atlanta University edited by Prof. W, E. Burghardt Du Bois. In 1900 the total property listed by Negro citizens in North Carolina amounted to $9,478,399; in 1907 it had increased to $21,253,581, a gain of 123 per cent. In 1900 the total assessed value of real estate and personal property owned by Negroes in Virginia was $15,556,570; in 1908 it was $25,628,336, an increase of nearly 62 per cent. In 1900 the assessed value of property owned by Negroes in Georgia was $14,118,720; in 1908 it was $27,042,672, a gain of over 91 per cent. According to the estimates of the American Economic Association "the accumulated wealth of the Negro race in the United States in 1900 was approximately $200,000,000." It is a reasonable inference from the figures of the three States quoted that the total property owned by Negroes in 1008 was not less than $500,000,000. This is a relatively small amount of property in the aggregate, considering the numbers of the Negro population, but the rate at which it has been acquired and the condition of steady progress which it illustrates are of great significance. Prof. E. V. Houstoun a native Savannahian, but now of the faculty of the Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., came up with an excursion party last week and while here called by and took a look through the Georgia Baptist office. Our L. H. White showed the professor through and he seemed pleased with our plant—Georgia Baptist. An Open Letter to Chat- ham County Negroes. Fellow Citizens: The charge has been made that the Negroes of Chatham County have always been divided; that, with all their education, mannood, and race pride, they will not come together to push anything to success. Now, it cannot be doubted that we have brain, brawn, numbers and money among our people in Chatham County, but to get the people to put their heads together seems difficult. However, there is one movement which, all Negroes can push because it is free of both religion and politics—I refer to the New School Movement. What greater handicap could there be to over 4000 Negro children in Chatham County than to be without the advantages of acquiring the rudiments of a common school education? Point out to me, if you can, anything in our beautiful city which demands more urgently our care and consideration. than the problem of dealing with this "army of 4000" Out of this standings army" have come 99 per cent. of the criminals, who are members in good standing on the chaining and unless something is done to provide light and learning for this army, the ranks of the gang will be swollen. Think of there being on the gang at present, 282 Negro men, 73 Negro women, and 21 Negro boys and girls! Do you marvel when you know that these people had an unfair start in the race of life? In the struggle for a living, what handicap is so great as a head into which no ray of education ever peeped? The criminal. Negroes of Chatham present the county with over $100,000, each year. Say, that each of the 282 men is capable of earning $5 a week, each of the 73 women $2 a week, and each of the children $1 a week; that would be $1577 a week, $6,308 a month or $2,004 a year. Add to this $20,000 paid annually in fines. Thus we have the astonishing amount of over $100,001 This week, the committee on convict system reported in part, as follows: "The first one, known as Pipemaker No. 2, situated about seven miles on the Augusta road, has at present sixty Negro convicts, all men, and all in good healthy condition, with ample accommodations and sufficient to room about 125." Very probably, some recruits will be drafted from the "army of 4000" to bring the matter up to 125. The opportunity to secure a new school is within, our reach, we have but to reach out, and the prize is ours. What a blessing it would be if every church, Sunday School, lodge-social, political and civic organization as well as every Negro, (who is worth his salt), would get together, lay aside every petty jealousy, bickering and strife, and acting solely for the benefit of the whole people, raise enough money to purchase a lot. When this is done, we believe those in authority will further the movement along until the result will be a new school. Yours for anything that will bring together the Negroes of Chatham. Dled in New York. We received with much regret the sad intelligence of the death of Mrs. Mary E. Austin, which occurred in New York city on Saturday morning last, where she has resided for a number of years. Mrs. Austin will be remembered by the older citizens as Miss Mary Reynolds, a decendent of one of the old pioneer families of the city. She was a daughter of Mr. Jefferson and Mrs. Letitia Law Reynolds, now Mrs. Delegal and a granddaughter of the late Mrs. Georgiana Kelly. Mrs. Austin being of a very amiable disposition, she was beloved by all who knew her. She is survived by a husband, Mr. W. W. Austin, several children, a mother Mrs. Letitia Delegal, sisters, Mrs. Ada R. Desverney and Mrs. W. W. Logan, a brother, Mr. A. H. Delegal, step-sisters, Mrs. L. D. Gilliard and Mrs. F. E. McNeil, and other relatives to mourn her death. True Reformsrs Meeting The work of the last two years was reviewed and each Fountain showed the success it had achieved over the previous year. 'The work under our energetic Chief Mr. B E Williams has gone beyond all expectations. Since he has been in our midst from October last, 415 of our members have been gathered into our fold making a total of 1483 Trust Reformers in Savannah. We have had 18 deaths in this Division since 1909 and nearly all of the back claims have been paid. The messengers and special workers from the various Fountains feel as if they have accomplished something this year. Our children's department—the lose Bud Nursery is in a thriving condition and each Senior and Junior mother is viewing with each other in bringing the little ones to the fold. The delegates were elected on their merits for the work they have done. Delegates elected are as follows: Mrs Sarah Cole, Ms J J Bolen Mrs Georgia A. Horton, Ms S B Brown, Mr R W Jones, Ms J S Perry, Mr J H Preston, Mr J B Williams, Mrs Louisa Harvey, Mrs Fannel Graham, Mrs Janie McGriff Mrs R S Mo rison, Mrs Addle Washington, Chief S E Williams delegate at large.

Devotional service was conducted by P. E. B. S. Hannah. The hymn "Try us O God and search the Ground" was sung, after haying prayer the 2nd chapter of First Timothy was read. The union chanted "Down at the Cross where my Saviour died." The union was indeed glad to have Dr. Dr. R H Slogleton out again after, being sick, and also P. E., R V Branch of Atlanta was in to see us. The floor was accorded him and he gave us an excellent address, which the union esignated Rev. Dr. C M Mannings of Morris Brown College was a visitor and delivered a strong, lecture. Dr. P W Greatheart replied to Rev. Manning and P. E. Rev. B Hannah replied to Rev. V Branch. The union then heard its Cicero and Socrates Rev. B J Ross read a paper, subject "Office and Work of the Holy Ghost." The subject was lengthily discussed and the union offered commendation. A vote of thanks was tendered Dr. Ross. Come out next Tuesday, visitors always welcome. St. Philip's Dots The congregation of St. Philip was fortunate in having two well-known ministers to fill the pulpit in the persons of Rev. C M Manning, D D of Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Georgia and Rev. R.V Branch, Presiding elder of the Atlantic District Church, Kevnang preached at 11 o'clock service. His text was from John 3:16 and subject "Life and Love." A grand sermon was never heard in St. Philip. The speaker kept his hearers spell-bound. At 8 p.m., Rev. Branch preached and this spacious edifice was filled to overflow and they were not disappointed in being there. Rev. Branch's text was from John 14:1, and the subject was "The Perfect Church." This was a glorious and soul-stirring sermon and one that made every Christian feel the love of God. Rev. Manning laid the foundation and Rev. Branch built the superstructure and put the cap stone thereupon A delegation to the Women Home and Foreign Missionary, Society left for Wayeras, where the Society convened on Thursday and St Phillip will be well represented. We have to chronicle another death from among the oldest members of St. Phillip in the person of Mrs. Joseph Radliffe. She had been a consistent christian in and a member of St. Phillip for over forty years, and a Sunday School worker for many years. She held the position of Sunday School treasurer for twenty eight consecutive years. She was buried from St. Phillip on Sunday afternoon and her funeral was largely attended by many loving friends and acquaintances. A grand musical concert will be given on Monday night, at St. Phillip for the benefit of St. Phillip's trustee department by the Ivy Leaf Musical Club, one of the best musical clubs in the city and is composed of some of the best musical talent.

Last Sunday a party of the Catholic Mutual Aid Society enjoyed a most pleasant excursion to Charleston and they were most cordially entertained by the Catholic men of St Peter's Parish. The picnic to St Antony's Mission on Aug 17th was a very successful event. Over 200 children and grown up people visited the beautiful grounds of the mission in the afternoon and evening. So pleasant was the outing that a request was made to have another picnic before the closing of the season. To-morrow the Catholic Mutual Aid Society and St Mary's societies will have a special meeting and the arrangements will be made for this second picnic, which will be still more interesting than the first one. Workmen are busy at present in fixing and painting the different rooms of St Benedict's School and also the interior of Chatham Hall, so that all our schools will be in good condition by Oct 31. Besides those two schools, the two new schools at St Antony's, West Swainham, and at Springfield Terrace, Gosninett St, and Stykes AVE will also be ready to receive pupils. Get your children read.

The sole representative of his race in a northern town of some three thousand inhabitants, petted girl affared by none light knew him. A willing servant, a children's friend—a massive giant favorite. For thirty years had Zeke towed bags and baggage of a traveling public up and down the broad steps of the Arade hostility, and he had almost reached the half-centry mile, stone along the journey of life. His brawny figure, with its black, good-natured face was as well known to the "knights of the grip" as were the familiar landmarks along the route of travel to the professional tourist. All who knew Zeke looked upon him simply as a plain chonest old darker, one who read his Bible with the simplicity of a child, gave no thought to the morrow, and judging from his own narrow view point, optimistically believed that the world was an uninterrupted bank of roses. This was in a large measure true; but his higher caste, well-meaning critters' did not know of that other self—nor of the little bud that lay hidden in the garden of a big heart, waitings and longing the bloomtime. And so Zeke lived on, his-life's horison neither widening nor narrowing, until at the end of thirty years of toting of trunks and luggage, the horizon widened. The change came when "Cap." Carter, manager of the Arcade, had found it expedient to import a new queen into the culinary department of that establishment. And when Melinda Petersi arrived, her plump figure, ebony-hued face, and kindly, black hair proclaimed her right to share in the honors of color representation in Nortown. Zeke divided the honors without a struggle, and with such good grace that he and Millinda were on the best of terms within a fortnight. The old porter's excursions to the kitchen were now more frequent than they were necessary; and the nickles he passed over the counter at the corner confectionery for peppermint lozenges and bon-bons threatened Zeke's slender nurse with imminent bankruptcy. Three months sped. by. It was night, and all was quiet. The sleepy clerk in the hotel office nodded at his desk over his half-burned cigar. Suddenly a cry of "fire!" rang out. The sleepy clerk, arroused to attention, listens—and again the cry—"Fire!!" "Fire!" taken up by one, two, and then a score of volces as the clerk dashed through the door, haltless and eageless, to join the tumultuous mob now gathering in the rear of the Arcade hostility. Dense clouds of smoke poured from every window and opening in the rear of the structure. Darting tongues of flame leaped hither and thither, like the lightning flash in the, thundercloud. Despite the efforts of the firefighters, the flames were fast gaining headway, and spreading rapidly towards the front wing of the building, and it was evident now, beyond all doubt, that it was a doomed structure. But—now for an instant the dense smoke rolled back from an upper window—and a face appears! A face Watson and the Negro. "I believe in the Jeffersonian creed with all my heart and think that all the aims of good government can be covered by that one sentence, equal and equal justice to all men." "To the rich and the poor; to the farmer and merchant; to the banker and the miner; to the scholar and the ditcher; And I emphasize here what I have been to misrepresented and blamed for saying before, that this republic will never reach its true grandeur as long as a dead line is drawn between one section and another, the color and another. I yield to no man in my pride of race, to believe the Anglo-Saxon is stronger in the glorious strength of conception and achievement than any race of created mafi, but from my very pride of race, springs my intense scorn of that phantasm, manufactured by the political bosses and called Nerro domination.

Odd Fellows' Journal. begimed with smoke—or was it black? A voice shouted: "It's Zeke!" and willing hands helped the daring firemen shift a rudder into position while prayers went sub from anxious hearts—prayers, for Zeke's deliverance. But it was not Zeke. The old porter had been busy, at carrying out trunks and bragge. At the sound of his name he came running, just as the brave firemen started to scale the rudder. Just for an instant, the face appeared, and then it dropped from view. But in that instant—Zeke had seen. "O. Gawd! Hit's Millindal! O. Gawd!" he roaned, his strong form swaying like an oak in a tempest. He staggered to the foot of the ladder, but And hands detained him, as they pointed to the forms of the firemen who had even then reached the window's edge, and while one of them kept a stream of water pouring in at the window, the other only waited a backward sweep of the smoke, when he might leap to the rescue. Despite the incessant streams of water that were kept pouring into the opening, both from a hose below and another in the hands of the man on the ladder, the flame and smoke reached 'out' its hot and choking breath with increased fury, and at last the baffled firemen, scorched, suffocated and blinded, were forced to abandon their efforts and descend. The feet of the last fireman had scarce touched the ground ere Zoke sprang forward once more. A dozen hands laid hold and dragged him back. They told him that the one he sought to save had long since perished; that to attempt to reach her now meant certain death. But expostulations were in vain. Summoning all his vast strength, he swept aside all who stood in his way, and raising his eyes heavenward, a grand look of eloquence swept over his coal-black features, as he cried: 'O, Gawd! I can't only die but jes onesi!' He sprang for the ladder, and before the awestricken multitude could regain command of their scattered senses he had reached the topmost, rung, and flung his herculean form against the partly burned sash. Nothing could be done to help the brave, black hero, who had courteed certain death in obeying loyally, that call of the other Self. Without heart, and without hope, two full streams of water were trained on the fiery furnace, the only tribute possible now, to the grand soul that had gone on its way. One minute—two—elapsed, and a gust of wind drove the dense volume of smoke back for an instant. In that instant a sight met the gaze of the watchers that will be vividly pictured to their minds as long as life shall last. There, with a foot poised on the casing, his black face wreathed in a smile of joy, stood the proud figure of old Zeke! And in his arms he clasped the inanimate form of her he had gone to save. His great form swayed as he struggled to press forward—a crash! as the floor beneatu him gave way, and he sank from sight, still bearing in his arms the one flower of his life—the flower that came at bloom-time. It is best that both should preserve the race integrity, by staying apart. But when it comes to matters of law and justice, I despise the Anglo-Saxon who is such an infernal coward as to deny legal rights to any man on account of his color, for fear of Negro domination. "For a thousand years the whites, the Anglo-Saxon, have had all these advantages. Armed with the garnered wealth of ten centuries, equipped with all the mental advantages of school systems, hoary with ages, holding, all the land, all, the revenues of commerce; all the sources of political power, outnumbering the blacks eight to one, and continually, gaming on them, what words can paint the cowardice of the Anglo-Saxon who would deny 'equal and exact justice' to the ignorant, helpless, poverty-cursed Negro in whose ears the clank of chains have scarcely, reaused 'domination.' "Rights is everlasting right. Wrong is eternally wrong—Thos. E. Watson. The mob spirit will not be stamped out of this southern—and western country until the civic societies, the women organizations, the pulpit, the press, and the lawmakers of the country take the evil in hand and devote themselves to the creation of a strong public sentiment against this and every form of lawlessness. These agonies, have checked the progress of the lion's traffic, and have reduced the ravages of the white plague in the country—and so by similar exertion and effort the terrible evil of lynching can be stamped out—Southern.

As for the men—" Mr. Wilson smiled and resumed: "In a bookshop the other day I said to a salesman: "I suppose you sell a lot of cook books here?" "Thousands, sir, thousands," he replied. "Women appreciate a good cook book; er?' said I. "Oh; it isn't the women that buy them," said the salesman; "it's their husbands."

The above is a good likeness of Welborn Victor Jenkins, editor of The Colored People's Magazine, and a young man who is 'fast becoming' one of the most popular writers of the race. Mr. Jenkins is a young man, but a man.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The school 'board of this city is spending many thousands of dollars making repairs and building new buildings for the white schools, while there is practically not one cent being spent for the benefit and better, accommodations of the colored schools.

A very few colored people seem to know the meaning of punctuality or the value of time. If one has an engagement with you for a certain hour, any time within thirty minutes thereafter, or an hour, is good enough for him. If a meeting of any kind is advertised for a certain hour, it is a common thing for, the average Negro to come staggering in three-quarters of an hour late, and the only excuse he offers is that he did not think any one would be there sooner. The Negro will take up two hours of your time on your busiest day for mere foolishment, and he will feel aggrieve when you show impatience and intimate that it is time the interview had concluded, and he will go away with his head of conceit bruised and inflamed and his pride wounded enough to make him dangerous.—Reformer.

Leg weakness in chickens is due to one of two causes.

To counteract the unbalanced ration, give them plenty of ground bone in vessels where they can help themselves as they see the need of it. .

Some poets are so fastidious that they object to anyone offering to put them on their feet. Nine times out of ten the cherry-looking woman has put a peeki of trouble bravely aside. After a girl gets to be about so old she tries to forget that she once wanted to marry a poet. Even a poet is able to distinguish between the fire of genius in his bosom and the gnawing of hunger in his stomach. It's a fortunate thing for the weaker sex that the average man isn't more than half as attractive as he thinks he is.

"The Memory Lingers" POSTON DENIAL CO., LTD. Baltimore, Md. Negroes Pleased at Having a Man of Whitefield McKinlay's Intelligence, Attainments and Experience Placed In Such a High, Representative Office. Washington, D. C.—Naturally the appointment of Whitefield McKinlay to the important post of collector of the port at Georgetown, D. C., has been the chief topic of talk in Washington recently. He is the first Negro ever selected as the chief officer of the port of entry for the national capital. Indeed, it never has suggested itself to one' to think of having his name considered for the place, and even in Mr. McKinlay's case the position came unsought, by him. When the president intimated that a colored man might be selected for this post certain men of influence put the new collector's name forward as a most available person for the position. In the first place, he is a bona fide resident of the District of Columbia, and claims citizenship in no state, and his appointment therefore would offset the objection put forward by the Washington press against the importation of non-residents for the local offices. In the second place, no colored man in the district had a wider or McKinlay, for he is himself a busi- more favorable acquaintance with its leading white business men than Mr. McKinlay, for he is himself a business man and has conducted a prosperous real estate office here for 25 years. During that time he has enjoyed an intimate relationship with the bankers and brokers of Washington, and has held a most unique position in this respect for a colored man. His influence for his race in the financial world has been of the kind that makes white men think more highly of the capacity of colored men for conducting business of the highest class. Since Mr. McKinlay fortunately lost his position in 1885, at the beginning of the Cleveland administration, he has held no public office. But no man has been more interested than he has been in securing appointments for colored men. His expenditure of time and energy for this purpose has been lavish to a marked degree. Indeed, he has frequently sacrificed his business interests to advance the cause of some colored man who was being opposed on account of his race. In the fight against the confirmation of Dr. W. D. Crum as collector of the port of Charleston, Mr. McKinlay was the very heart and soul of the struggle. The final success of that controversy' is due more to him than to any other force that placed a part in it. He was active, sleepless and tireless and was on the job day and night in the interest of Dr. Crum. It is safe to say that he interviewed nearly all of the members of the United States senate and saw and talked with many of the most influential of them time and time again, always urging the justice of the confirmation of Dr. Crum and accepting no suggestion of compromise. There are other cases, too, of the appointment of Negroes to distinguished offices in which Mr. McKinlay has exerted a most potent influence, though it has come to public notice, because his interest in these matters has always been of the most selfless kind, and he has never sought any glory out of them for himself. The Negroes of the country are fortunate in having a man of Mr. McKinlay's intelligence, attainments and experience placed in algh, representa- Farm and Poultry Notes Day-old chickens can be sent a considerable distance by express without any loss if the weather is not too hot, and the sale of them is becoming quite a popular branch of the poultry business. It's good for the orchard to turn the fowls into it and good for the birds. They find shade and many bugs and worms, while the trees benefit by their droppings and insect pests are kept down. Keep chicken houses and runs dry during wet weather. If you haven't previously provided against possible ill effects of heavy rains, do so without delay. When hens drop their feathers unseasonably examine them to make sure that their skins are not torn. If they are, it is probably due to the overweening ardor of the male. Too many males in the flock may lead to this. HINTS AND COMMENT.

He is splendidly educated, having pursued his studies at the State University of South Carolina, and at the Iowa State university. In the South Carolina college which he attended in Reconstruction days, he had as classmates Geo. W. Clinton, now bishop of the A. M. E. Zion church; Dr. W. D. Crum, now United States minister to Liberia; Prof. J. Edward Wallaces of Cladin university and Hon. Robert L. Smith of Texas. Collector McKinlay will enter upon the duties of his new office in a few days, and his name will be sent to the senate when congress convenes in December. His friends anticipate his speedy confirmation. Letters and telegrams of congratulations have poured in upon Mr. McKinlay from all parts of the country. The names of few colored men who have never held prominent public office are better known than this and he has a large acquaintance throughout the country. In discussing the recent appointment of Whitefield McKinlay as collector of customs for the District of Georgetown, the Washington Post publishes the following information: "The collector of the Georgetown district must have, among his innumerable other qualifications, the tact, and adaptability of the trained diplomat, for his position brings him into constant relation with the host of envoys walia constitutes an important factor in Washington life, Washington, as a port of entry, is the avenue through which the diplomatic representatives from the great world governments bring their effects into the capital of the United States. "And that the diplomatic business is no small item in connection with the work of the Georgetown collector is evident from the fact that an estimate of the total volume of business for the year places half of that amount on the side of transactions incidental to the coming into the country of representatives of foreign governments with their attaches and households. While this branch of entries swells the total of business for the year, it does not add to the revenues derived from the Georgetown district, as the diplomatic corps is permitted to bring its effects in free of duties. "Then the Georgetown collector is brought constantly into relation with the many foreigners who frequent the capital yearly, and hundreds of whom have intricate and exacting relations with the port of entry here. So it is that the Georgetown collector must be a diplomat. "Apart from the Georgetown district's position in relation to the representatives of the governments of the world, it is the leader among all customs districts of its class in the amount of business transacted. It exceeds all other ports of like grade in the volume of business transacted, and is ahead of a majority of them in the matter of annual receipts. For instance, in volume of business transacted Georgetown goes ahead of Albany, N. Y.; Duluth, Minn.; Indh Amboy, N. J.; Gloucester, Mass.; Indianapolis, Columbus, Portland, Me.; Hartford, Conn., and Louisville, Ky. "The business of the Georgetown district has nearly doubled during the last 10 years. The following figures are for the year ended June 30, 1900: Entries, 939; receipts, $97,856.19. The enormous increase of business during the decade following is shown by the figures for the year ended June 30, 1910, which follow: Entries, 2,660; receipts, $190,596.58. During the ten-year period the cost of collecting each dollar was reduced from 12 cents and 7 mills in 1900 to 8 cents and 6 mills in 1910, and, in spite of the great increase of business. It is hard to down an upright citizen. No man ever shares the self-esteem of his neighbor. Thick tongues are responsible for a lot of thin ideas. An ounce of confidence in yourself is better than a pound of confidence in others. Most men are better acquainted with Faith and Hope than they are with Charity.

Jordan, at a Democratic banquet in Jacksonville, said of optimism: "Let us cultivate optimism and hopefulness. There is nothing like it. The optimistic man can see a bright side to everything—everything. "A missionary in a slum once laid his hand on a man's shoulder and said: "Friend, do you hear the solemn ticking of that clock? Tick-tick; tick, tack. And oh, my friend, do you know what day it inexorably and relentlessly brings nearer? "Yes, pay day," the other, an honest, optimistic workingman, replied." KEEP BABY'S SKIN CLEAR Few parents realize how many estimable lives have been embittered and social and business success prevented by serious skin affections which so often result from the neglect of minor eruptions in infancy and childhood. With but a little care and the use of the proper emollients, baby's skin and hair may be preserved, purified and beautified, minor eruptions prevented from becoming chronic and torturing, disfiguring rashes, itchings, irritations and chafings dispelled. To this end, nothing is so pure, so sweet, so speedily effective as the constant use of Cuticura Soap, assisted, when necessary, by Cuticura Ointment.

Last winter he was ill, so ill he didn't have any sense of humor left nor any sense either. I was staying at the same hotel, and when I went in to look after him he virtuously remarked that his room was no place for a 'Chorus Lady' and promptly shooed me out. (A few years ago I spanked that kid.) Then he got scared and sent for a doctor and the doctor sent for a trained nurse. For several days I got bulletins of his progress from the chambermaid.

She turned to him after the soup." "Do, dear Dr. Gibbon," she said, 'tell me about the decline and fall of the Roman empire.'"

Do not gripe. The entire nature of man is the garden which, is given him to cultivate.—W. E. Gladstone. But it Requires Very Quick Work and Plenty of the Tetanus Antitoxin. The popular belief that a wound from treading on a rusty nail is very likely to cause tetanus is quite correct. This is not because it is a nail or is rusty, but because by lying on the ground it has become infected with the germs of lockjaw. Moreover, as the punctured wound caused by the nail bleeds but little and this blood dries up and excludes the air, the most favorable conditions for the development of tetanus exist, for, as Kitasoa, the Japanese bacteriologist proved, the absence of oxygen is most favorable to the growth of this germ. The germ itself looks very much like a tack, according to a writer in Harper's Monthly; it is so virulent that its toxin in doses of 1-200,000th of a teaspoonful will kill a mouse. It has been found by experiment that the poison is carried up to the spinal cord not by the absorbents or the blood vessels, as are other poisons, but through the motor nerves. Fortunately an anti-polson or antidote has been developed, but so prompt is the action of the poison that in an animal two minutes after the injection of a fatal dose of the poison twice as much of the remedy is required as if it had been administered with the poison; after eight minutes ten times the amount and after ninety minutes forty times the original amount is necessary. This antitoxin is entirely harmless. As a result of antiseptic methods lockjaw is now almost unknown except after neglected wounds, instead of being frequent as it formerly was. When it is feared the antitoxin is used as a preventive, and when it has developed, as a cure. In animals, for naturally. horses suffer enormously more frequently than man, the same antitoxin is used. In 163 horses that had operations performed on them, but were protected by the antitoxin, not one developed tetanus, whereas of eight cases unprotected by the antitoxin five developed tetanus.

Where Millions Are Entombed Where Millions Are Entombed. The catacombs at Rome were the burial places of the early Christians. They are about 580 miles in extent and are said to have contained 6,000,000 bodies. During the persecutions of the Christians under Nero and other Roman emperors the catacombs were used for hiding places. Under Diocletian the catacombs were crowded with those for whom there was no safety in the face of the day. The art of the catacomba is unique and most interesting. Simple designs are etched in the slabs which seal the tombs. Now and then are small chapels whose paintings are to be found. All 'are Bible illustrations, so that the catacombs may be said to be a pictorial Bible in effect.—The Christian Herald. Tuberculosis In the Prisons. The fact that 100,000 prisoners are discharged from the jails and prisons of the country annually, and that from 10 to 15 per cent of them have tuberculosis, makes the problem of providing special places for their treatment while they are confined a serious one. So important is the problem that the Prison association of New York in cooperation with the State Charities Aid association, is preparing to inaugurate a special campaign for the prevention of tuberculosis in the penal institutions of the state, and will seek to enlist the co-operation of all prison physicians and anti-tuberculosis societies in this work.

YO PO PR SO JUST A NATURAL MISTAKE Gussle, In Fancy Costume, Astonished the Doorkeeper for a Moment Gussie was knock-kneed, angular and round-shouldered. He had a terrible squint, and a mouth like a steam roller. All the same, he reckoned on making something of a hit at the fancy dress ball, and his costume was as elegant as his figure was unlovely. With fast-beating heart he stepped jauntly from his automobile outside the town hall, where the ball was being held. The hall porter stepped backward at the unsightly apparition. "Great Christopher Columbus!" he gasped as he regarded Gussie. "No, no, my good man!" chirped Gussie, as he tripped through the portals.

On Some Ministers: The worst o' these here shepherds is, my boy, that they regularly turns the heads of all the young ladies about here.

Nothin' else, and wot aggragates me, Samivel, is to see 'em awastin' all their time and labor in making clothes for copper-colored people as don't want 'em and taking no notice of flesh-colored Christians as do. If I'd my way, Samivel, I'd just stick some o' these here lazy shepherds behind a heavy wheel-barrow, and run 'em up and down a 14-inch plank all day. That 'ud shake the nonsense out of 'em, if anythin' would.—Mr. Weller, Quoted by Charles Dickens. Better Than a Drug. "The late Senator Platt," said an Alhany legislator, "had a cynical wif.

When they are reached they are met'tnuch as navigator controls his vessel—in other words, the air Dillows, so ‘to speak, are ridden, and the craft allowed to right itself, which ‘At-will readily do, for it not forced it swill find its own keel. “Ot course, the practicabjlity of the various alr craft differs ‘materially. For. instance, the Wright biplane is ‘larger. and carries a greater surface, ‘while+the aeroplane that I use is of ‘much}émaller surface and is built ‘orssyeed. While the former may at- tain"greater helghts, I rarely ge above 1,300 feet. “Tn my opinion driving an aero- plane at the speed of 120 miles an hour is not nearly so difficult as driv- ‘tig an automobile sixty miles an hour. fic running an automobile at high speed the driver must be on the Job “every second. There are, constant op- portunities of encountering obstacles. ‘For instance, a mati can never tell at ‘what moment he is to encounter some wehicle, perhaps traveling in the oppo- Bite direction. Nothing but untiring wigilance can protect him from this danger, Then there are turns in the road, bad stretches of pavement, and other like difficulties, All these re- _auire the same attention. ".-“But in an aeroplane it is an en- tirely different proposition.” Once a man’ becomes accustomed. to seroplan- Ligz “ity becomes a matter of uncon- Bious attention.

So far as the air currents are concerned, I rely en- tirely on this instinctive, action; but my ear is alwaya alert, The danger signal of the aviator is when he hears ‘his.mootor nflas, Then he knows that troubles are in store. Sometimes he can speed up, just as an automobile driver does, and get {t to renew ity normal action, But if he fails in this and-the,motoF stops, de muat’ dip ‘his defiecting planes. and try to negotl- ate a landing in open couritry.. Some- times theré is no premihary signal from the motor that itis going to cease work. That ig the time that the aviator must act quickly, “In such a case, uniess the deflect- ing planes are manipulated quickly, aviator, aeroplane and motor will’rap- idly Jand a tangled mass on the ground. . “I have been asbed if an aeroplane could be built that would carry a num- ber of passengers and travel as far as trom New York to Philadelphia. Tam convinced that it could if a per- fect engine {s developed. The, whole thing depends almost entirely on the engine, Jf the perfect motor 1s ob- tained and the size of the planes tn- creased there is practicaly no lMmit to the lifting power., On the power-ot the motor and the size of the planes would, of course, depend the number of passengers that could be, carried. “One student of the subject de- clareg that when- aerial transit be- cames an actual facta host of new problems will suddenly appear,-prob- lems which no landsman seems so far to ‘have troubled ‘aimself about, though it is very probable that many a navigator of the sea has given con- siderable thought to the difficulties lying in wait for his brother -of the air. In undertaking long serial voy- ages atcyarying heights and under varying conditions, the aerial naviga- tor will suddenly find himself ‘con- fronted with all the intricactes of*ma- rine navigation, with a good many additional problems much more baf- fling. Granting that he can accurate- ly determiz‘e his course through space by’ means of some wonderful form of compass that has yet to be invented, he will still have to determine tho distance along that course. While there are several excellent devices for measuring a vessel's speed and distance through water, there are none whotever for measuring an air- ship's speed and distance through the lighter medium of afr. True, the aerjal navigator lost in space while sailing over known lands can descend, locate himself and proceed- on his way. But what if he be sailing over a trackless ocean or barren desert? “I€ has also been pointed out that it will be necessary to inatall througa- out the world an entirely new system of lighthouses, beacons and other aids to navigation. There ‘must be easily recognized Ughts, not only” at prom- inept havens, but on mountain ranges ‘and isolated ppaks, not merely as- guides to the sky-sallor, but 2s warn; ings of the proximity of danger.
