The Savannah Tribune. V01. XXV. Woman Tells Why She Killed Her Husband. Says That When She Married Him She Knew Nothing About Him—Eva Workman, Who Aroused the Jealousy of Mrs. Hudson, Declares That She Married Hudson at Ocean City. Salisbury, Md. (Special)—Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Hudson, who shot and killed her husband, Tobias Hudson, in the office of the State's Attorney here, is not now the cool and self-possessed woman she was shortly after the tragedy. The deep circles about her eyes and the nervous twitch of her mouth as she speaks betray the great nervous strain under which she is laboring. "Yes, of course, I am sorry I killed my husband," she said when interviewed in the jail. "I loved him. How would you like to see one you loved better than your life, one for whom you would willingly lay down your own life, dead and at your own hands?" Walking up to the bars of her narrow cell, Mrs. Hudson grasped them in her nervousness as she talked. "When I married Tobias Hudson I had already been married twice before, and for the first time in my life real happiness came to me. I was 32 years of age and Mr. Hudson was 10 years older when we were married. He came to Cambridge from Baltimore, he told me. Whether he has any relatives I don't know, and he would never talk to me along that line. When we were first married we lived happily for a time, but soon stories came to my cars of his attention to other women. And then he commenced leaving me for weeks at a time, and, returning, would give me no satisfaction as to where he had been. "About a year ago he left and did not return. He brought suit, for divorce in the Circuit Court of Dorchester county, but lost his case. Says He Threatened Her Life. "Last Wednesday, when I came to Salisbury, I purposely disguised myself in deep mourning. I did this because Mr. Hudson had threatened to kill me, and I feared he would do so if he met me on the street. After he was arrested and held under bond he promised me to return to me again, and this was what I most ardently desired. I was longing for him and ready to receive him back with open arms. But much as I loved him I could not trust him, and when I saw him Thursday night riding with that woman I knew his promise would not be kept. "I wanted to see him again and try to persuade him back to me and I asked Mr. Bailey to get him for me. When he came and we were talking I realized that I had lost him. He told me the Workman woman had left town, and I told him of seeing them riding together the night before. I asked him to let me have some money and he said he had none. I reminded him of the $250 bond which had been returned to him and he got up and said: "Well, if that's all, you wanted with me, I will go. There are not enough police in Sallisbury to arrest me again." Overcome By Grief: Shoots. "He arose and reached for his hat and cane, which were lying on top of the iron safe. I saw him getting ready to go and leave me and I knew it was for good. My grief and my loneliness overcame me. I drew the revolver and fired. Sorrow and sadness are the lot of mankind and I have had my share. My husband told me once that he had killed a man up in Western Maryland." Eva Workman Has Disappeared. The whereabouts of Eva Workman are still unknown. It was reported here that Hudson's life was insured in her favor for $10,000, but no verification of this could be obtained. The case against Mrs. Hudson will be tried at the September term of court, beginning on September 29. It is expected that the court will assign counsel to conduct the prosecution, Mr. Bailey being an important witness. BOSTON HAS 670,585. Runs St. Louis a Close Race for Fourth Place. Washington, D. C. (Special)—The population of Boston, Mass., is 670,355, an increase of 100,603; or 10.6 per cent. as compared with 560,692 in 1900. This was anounced by Director of the Census Durand. This puts Boston out of the reach of Baltimore, the population of which has not yet been announced. Boston will stand-fifth, next to St. Louis, which has 637,029, and Baltimore will come next, sixth on the list. Pittsburg is the seventh city, ranking next to Baltimore. A decade ago St. Louis outranked Boston by only 14,346, and the present census leaves St. Louis ahead by 16,444. There was but slight change in the rate of progress in the two cities, St. Louis's increase from 1909 to 1910 being 19.4 and Boston beating that by 2-10 of one per cent. Boston's population 20 years ago was 148,477. The increase from 1890 to 1900 was 112,415. or 25.1 per cent. 15,908, an increase of 1,373, or 5.6 per cent, as compared with 24,535 in 1900. Pougheesie, N. Y. has 27,938, an increase of 3,907, or 16.3 per cent, as compared with 24,029 in 1900. New.Rochelle, N.Y., has 28,867, an increase of 14,147, or 96.1 per cent, as compared with 14,720 in 1900. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1910. THIRTY LIVES LOST THIRTY-FIVE RESCUED One Woman and a Passenger Among the Victims. AID WAS SUMMONED BY WIRELESS Pere Marquette Car Ferry, No. 18, Lost In the Middle of Lake Michigan—Vessel Carried Crew of 60—Eight Bodies Are Recovered—Car Ferry, No. 17, Responds to Appeal for Aid and Brings In the Survivors—Loss to Vessel and Cargo Will Amount to Over Half a Million Dollars. Ludington, Mich. (Special).—Thirty lives were lost when Pere Marquette car ferry, No. 18, bound from Ludington to Milwaukee, went to the bottom of Lakes Michigan halfway across the lake. The dead include Capt. Peter Kilty, of Ludington; S. F. Sozapanek, of Chicago, purser and wireless operator, whose signals of distress brought assistance to the sinking steamer, and two members of the crew of car ferry, No. 17, who lost their lives in an effort to rescue the crew of No. 18. Eli Colbean, of Saginaw, Mich., a member of the crew of No. 18, would make a thirty-first victim, but it is believed that he was not on board when No. 18 set out from here on her fatal trip. The steamship company issued a list of 35 names of survivors of the wreck, all members of the crew, and most of whom were brought here on Pere Marquette car ferry, No. 17. Eight bodies were recovered, six being brought here on car ferry, No. 17, and two being taken to Milwaukee on car ferry, No. 20. There was a moment of intense silence as the big black steamer came through the pier into the harbor. The men and women turned upon each other and fought and struggled with insane eagerness to get first tidings of the fate of relatives who went away from here last night as members of the crew of the ill-fated car ferry. Loss More Than Half Million. The ferryboat was valued at $10,000, and the cargo, which included 28 loaded cars, at $10,000 to $150,000. The total loss will exceed half a million dollars, which is fully covered by insurance in Lloyd's, of England. "Car ferry, No. 18, sinking—help," was the S. O. S. wireless message that brought the first news of the disaster to the city about 5 A. M. today. The flash was repeated continuously for nearly an hour, but was unsigned. At 7.30 A. M. Superintendent Mercereau, of the Pere Marquette Car Ferry Line, received a wireless from car ferry, No. 17, stating that No. 18-sank at 7 o'clock after all on board had been rescued by life boats from No. 17. Because of Disaster Not Known, Marquette are currently at a low to account for the shocking disaster. No. 18 was one of the finest and most costly car ferries ever built on the Great Lakes, and only yesterday the craft was "aspected by Government officials at this port and found to be in first-class condition in every respect. A Tragic Story. The story of the loss of car ferry, Pere Marquette 18, constitutes the most tragic and thrilling chapter yet written in the history of the Lake Michigan mairne. Leaving Ludington, at 11:30 o'clock with a fair but stiff wind and 29 loaded cars on deck, the ferry made good weather for five hours on its course to Milwaukee. At 4:30 o'clock word was sent to Captain Peter Kilty that his boat was rapidly making water aft and that the pumps were unable to keep even with the inflow. With full confidence in the stability and seaworthiness of his craft, the veteran car ferry navigator headed his ship with all speed toward Sheboygan, on the Wisconsin shore. An effort was made to run a number of railroad cars overboard and thus lighten the load and gain a few precious minutes. With great difficulty 29 cars were dropped off the stern of No. 18, but this gave the vessel only slight and temporary relief. Suddenly without warning and before the horrified gaze of 50 men on board the car ferry, No. 17, which had just arrived on the scene in response to a distress signal, the great black bow of the flagship rose high in the air, the stern settled swiftly toward the bottom and with a roar and crash like an explosion the ship shot downward and was lost to view. Agonized Cries for Help. Agonizing cries for help rose above the roar of the sea. Irresistibly drawn-by a tremendous suction, a score of men could be seen speeding toward the vortex of the sinking steamer's revolving wheels, which sealed their doom. Then began the rescue. Lowering one of her lifeboats containing four sails, the crew of No. 17 begaed a work of humanity which marks many of the number as heroes. No sooner had the tiny lifeboat touched the aggy waves than it was hurled with terrific force against the side of the steel steamer and crushed into a shapeless mass. Two Rescuers Drowned. Two of the sailors were rescued by those on board, while the other two—Joseph Peterson and R. Jacobson, a scrubber—immediately sank and drowned. Others quickly manned another lifeboat, which was successfully launched. This boat, in charge of Duncan Milligan, of Lodington, did herole service, and in less than an hour picked up 14 survivors who were floating about clinging to bits of wreckage. Then another lifeboat was manned and joined in the work of rescue. It was a race against time, and in the face of great danger more than 30 were saved. RESOURCES FOR ALL THE PLOPLE Conservation Congress Adopts Platform and Adjourns. St. Paul, Minn (Special).—The National Conservation Congress adopted a platform placing the seal of its approval on national control of natural resources and adjourned. A threatened fight on the part of State conservation commissioners to place the names of President Taft and Theodore Roosevelt in the platform as the great friends of conservation did not materialize on the floor. Under vigorous use of the gavel it did not even get started. The following were-chosen officers: President, Henry Wallace, Des Moines, Iowa. Secretary, Thomas R. Shipp, Indianapolis. Treasurer, D. A. Latchaw, Kansas City. Gifford Pinchot and J. B. White, of Kansas City, declined to be nominated for the presidency, and Mr. Wallace was not opposed. Vice-presidents for each State were chosen, each speaking briefly. Granville M. Hunt invited the next congress to meet at Washington, D. C. L. G. Worsham, of Georgia, announced that a Southern conservation congress will be held at Atlanta on October 7 and The Platform The platform, in part, adopted by the convention is as follows: "The second National Conservation Congress, made up of delegates from all sections and nearly every State and Territory of the United States, met at the call of a great moral issue, now in session assembled in the city of St. Paul, and State of Minnesota, does hereby adopt and solemnly declare the following platform of opinion and conclusion concerning the inherent rights of the people of the United States: "Heartily accept the spirit and intent of the Constitution and adhere to it in full down by Washington and Lincoln, we declare our conviction that we live under a government of the people, by the people, for the people, and we equiduate any and all special or local interests or platforms or policies in conflict with the inherent rights and sovereign will of our people." People's Rights Inherent. "Recognizing the natural resources of the country as the prime basis of property and opportunity, we hold the rights of the people in these resources to be natural and inherent and justly inalienable and indefeasible, and we insist that the resources should and shall be developed, used and conserved in ways consistent both with current welfare and with the perpetuity of our people. "Recognizing the waters of the country as a great national resource, we approve and indorse the opinion that all the waters belong to all the people and hold that they should be used in the interest of the people. For Democratic Supply. "Recognizing the inter-dependence of the various uses of the waters of the country, we hold that the primary uses are for democratic supply and for agriculture through irrigation or otherwise, and that the uses for navigation and power in which water is not consumed are secondary; and we commend the modern view that each use of the waters should be made with reference to all other uses for the public welfare in accordance with the principle of the greatest good to the greatest number for the longest time. In giving purity of water supply as essential to the public health and general welfare, we urge upon all municipal, State and Federal authorities and on individuals and corporations requisite action toward purifying and preventing contamination of the waters: For Limited Leases. "We hold that the deposits of minerals underlying, particularly mineral fuels, iron ores and phosphate deposit, should be leased for limited periods not exceeding 50 years, but subject to renewal, the royalty to be adjusted at more frequent intervals, such leases to be in amounts and subject to such regulations as to prevent monopoly and unnecessary waste. State Co-operation Favored. "We favor co-operative action on the part of States and the Federal Government looking to the preservation and better utilization of the soils by approved scientific methods. We approve the continuance of the control of the national forests by the Federal Government and improve the policy of restoring to settlement such public lands as are more valuable for agriculture. To Teach Conservation. "We recommend that the public and private schools instruct the youth of the land in the fundamental doctrines of conservation." Man Told Wife-Where to Find Body and Tied Himself Fast to Tree. New Castle, Ind. (Special)—Olin Payne, 35 years old, well known as a canner, committed suicide by drowning in Blue River, a mile north of this city. The water was only 18 inches deep. After mailing a letter to his wife, biding her bood-boy, saying it was best to end it all and telling her where his body would be found, he took his life. To prevent the body from floating away, Payne tied a leather strap to his ankle and then to a willow at the edge of the stream and also tightly grasped another tree with his left hand. Street Car Dynamited. Columbus, O. (Special).—A successful attempt was made to dynamite a street car in Bexley, a suburb. The conductor was considerably injured and the car damaged. The strikes are being held for alleged complicity in recent dynamiting. FATAL EXPLOSION : ON NORTH DAKOTA Three Men of Crew Killed and Nine Badly Burned. THIRD ACCIDENT ON WAR VESSEL Admiral Schroeder's Report Says the Fire Occurred While the Battleship Fleet Was on the Way from the Drill Grounds to Hampton Roads—The Dead Men Were Coal Passers. Newport News, Va. (Special)—Three men were killed outright and nine others were horribly burned by the explosion of an oil tank in fireroom No. 3 of the new giant battleship North Dakota, near Cape Henry, while that ship was coming to Hampton Roads from the Southern drill grounds, 36 miles southeast of the Capes, with the first and second divisions of the Atlantic Battleship Fleet. While they were horribly burned about the face and body, all of the injured are expected to recover. They are now being cared for on the hospital ship Solace, which is anchored off Old Point Comfort. Though he gave out a lengthy statement relative to the disaster, Rear Admiral Seaton Schroeder, commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet, would not say what caused the explosion and official details are lacking. However, it is learned from sailors of the North Dakota that one of the pipes leading into the tank in Fire Room No. 3 was defective and the heat in the engineroom ignited the oil in the pipe and the burning fluid passed in the tank, setting the oil there fire and causing the explosion. While dazed for an instant after the explosion it is said that the uninjured men and even some of the wounded worked heroically to prevent the fire from spreading to the coal bunkers and causing a serious conflagration aboard the vessel. Lieutenant Murfin, the men say, displayed great coolness and nerve and, though burned about the face and body, bravely directed the firemen and coal-passers in removing the injured and extinguishing the flames. For a few seconds after the explosion, excitement ran high on the ship, as it was at first thought that a boiler had exploded. However, the sailors were soon reassured and they set to work to save their ship from fire. Schroeder Explains. Following is the official statement about the explosive. Admiral Schroeder about the explosive. "Between 10:30 and 11 o'clock A. M. oil from Room No. 3, in the North Dakota caught fire while the first squadron of the Atlantic Fleet was making passage from the Southern drill grounds to Hampton Roads. Under a request from the commander of the North Dakota, the commander-in-chief of the fleet immediately ordered the North Dakota to leave the fleet formation and the battleship New Hampshire put near to render assistance in case they could be of service. No assistance was necessary and by 11:30 o'clock the fire on the North Dakota was under control. It has not yet been ascertained how the fire started, although it is believed that the disaster was not due to any carelessness upon the part of the men of the North Dakota. A board of inquiry was named to investigate the accident, consisting of Capt. A. A. Cove, of the Delaware, senior officer; Lieutenant Commander C. V. Price, of the Delaware, and Lieutenant Commander A. M. Proctor, of the Connecticut. This board will thoroughly look into the cause of the explosion." HUMANE HIGHWAYMAN. Called Doctor to 'Attend Woman's III Child. Williamstown, N. J. (Special).—White on her way at midnight to get a physician for her sick baby, Mrs. C. D. Hartlett was held up by a highwayman, who played the part of a good Samaritan and brought the doctor in time to have her child. Mrs. Hartlett lives about four miles out of town. After two miles were covered she became exhausted and almost collapsed. As she was making a brave effort to continue a men stepped from behind a tree and demanded her money. She pleaded with the man to let her go, explaining her errand. The man asked the location of the doctor's residence, urged the woman to return and promised to summon the physician. A short time later Dr. George Van Belt was aroused by the stranger. Doctor Van Belt dN not want to take the journey until dawn, but the stranger was so persistent that the doctor consented, if the man would go to his stable and hitch up his horse. This he did, and then disappeared. The baby is now out of danger. Storm Costs Scores of Lives. San Juan, P. R.' (Special)—Advices received from the interior indicate that probably a score of persons lost their lives and property damage running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars was done by the hurricane which swept the island and its waters Thursday night and Wednesday. If it is feared that several small, ships, not included in the first reports of losses, went down. Heat Leads to Suicide New York (Special)—Albert Kraft, 20 years old, living at 445 Elton street. East New York, committed suicide by shooting himself in the temple. He had been crazed by the heat. Kraft left his work at noon on account of the heat, and on his return home seated himself on the doorstep. Suddethy, he drew a revolver and placing it to his head, fired. BOTH SIDES ARE SATISFIED Hague Court Decides Fisheries Controversy. The Hague (Special)—The International Court of Arbitration, after hearing prolabored arguments rendered its decision in the Newfoundland fisheries case submitted by the governments of the United States and Great Britain, but which also involved the local governments of Canada and Newfoundland. Neither country wins a clear-cut award, but the Americans claim a substantial victory. The general issue as submitted through the agreement signed in Washington was presented in the form of seven questions. These questions of points the tribunal supports the United States in five instances and Great Britain in the other two. The seven points involved were as follows: First, must any reasonable regulations made by Great Britain, Canada and Newfoundland in the form of municipal laws, ordinance or rules, such regulations being appropriate or necessary for the preservation of the fisheries, desirable on grounds of public order and morals and made to be the most local men and inhabitants of the United States, be subject to the consent of the United States? America's Victory. "Second, have the inhabitants of the United States, while exercising the liberty to take fish on the treaty coasts a right to employ as members of their fishing crews persons not inhabitants of the United States? "Third, can the liberties to take, dry and cure fish in treaty designated places be subjected, without the consent of the United States, to the requirements of entry or report at custom houses or the payment of dues or any similar conditions? "Fourth, can restrictions be imposed upon American fishermen making the exercise of the privileges granted them by the treaty to enter certain bays or harbors for shelter, repairs, food and water, conditional-upon the payment of light or harbor or other dues, on entering or reporting at the custom houses or any similar conditions? "Fifth, what is a bay within the treaty's meaning? "Sixth, does the treaty give the inhabitants of the United States the same liberty to take fish in the bays, harbors and creeks of Newfoundland as in Labrador? "Seventh, are the inhabitants of the United States whose vessels resort to the treaty coasts to exercise the liberties referred to in Article 1 of the treaty, entitled to bear for the vessels when duly authorized by the United States that behalf, the commercial privileges on the treaty coasts accorded by agreement or otherwise to United States trading vessels generally." Where England Won. The British consider the two points decided in their favor, Nos. 1 and 5, as of the highest importance, and it is understood that the Colonial Office is satisfied with the outcome. On No. 1, however, the United States has raised certain questions of equity which will be submitted to a special commission for determination. It is also significant that the court was unanimous on all questions except the fifth, and from the decision of this Luis Drago, the member from the Argentine Republic, gave a dissenting opinion largely supporting the American contentions. On all others of the seven main questions the tribunal sustains the principal contentions of America. KISSES CURVED NERVES. Man Sued for Divorce, Tells How He Cured Wife. Washington, D. C. (Special)—Kissing as a healing power and a balm for nervousness is declared efficacious by James L. Carrico in answer to the petition of his wife for a divorce. Mrs. Carrico alleged in her petition that while she was sick her husband was continually under the influence of liquor and did not administer proper treatment to her. He asserted in his answer that: "When defendant put his arms about plaintiff and kissed her, her nervousness and other ailments disappeared." He contends that she was simply "nervous" and unable to tell about his sobriety, but that, as soon as he kissed her, she returned to her normal self. THOUGHT FLYING EASY. Farm Hand Who Posed as Bird Fell 20 Feet. Newmarket, N. J. (Special).—Convinced by the achievements of others that flying was easy, Hans Christiansen, a farm hand employed by Charles Fleming on the River road, near here, rigged himself up with wings and jumped off the roof of the barn. He fell 20 feet and was badly shaken up, but will get over it. Christiansen tied inflated bags to his arms and fastened a parasol over his head and thought he could surely fly. Nobody saw Christiansen make the leap. His employer came across him in the grass by the roadside. Gompers Is Served. St. Louis, Mo. (Special) Notices of the injunction suit instituted by C. W. Post to prevent the unionizing of the Bucks Stove, and Range Company plant, were served on, Samuel, Gompers and other labor union officials today by United States Deputy Marshals. Gompers later met with representatives of the Stove. Founders. National Defense Association; to discuss methods by which the Bucks plant will be unionized. Federal Judge McPherson on Monday refused to issue a temporary injunction for which Post tasked. Dapper No' Alarm'. At the hotel at Sea Cliff where I was putting in a forthight there was a man that I spotted as mean. Everyday I looked for him to break out and say or do something to make the rest of us uncomfortable, and though he kept delaying, I did not change my opinion of him. At length the explosion came. He had been down to the news stand and returned with a paper in his hand. He set down amidst a group of us, fastened his gaze on an innocent looking young man for a moment, and then said: "Gentlemen, another employee of bank up in the city has gone. I was watching the young man but he did not turn pale. "How was it?" some one asked. "Got away with $45,000," replied the man. The young man did not actually yawn, but he took no interest. Did he get clean away? "He did, but the police are on his trall, and he will be caught. In fact I may say he is caught." "But where—how?" "Right here among us." The young man lighted a cigarette (with a hand that did not tremble, and after a moment the mean man rose up and said: "If there is a bank employe among us, let him stand up." The young man stood up. "Do you deny your guilt, sir?" "I do. I am only the janitor of the bank that was robbed, while it was the cashier that swiped the dough." Then he sat down, and the mean man said he guessed he'd take a walk down by the bounding billows of the sound. Jollying Jenkins. On his way to the club Jenkins had an inspiration. He would purchase a box of cigars and upon arriving spread them around, thus making himself solid with the boys. He did so. A little later he asked the recipients how they enjoyed the brand. Said Brown: I like none better. Said Jones: I hope I may never smoke a worse one. Said Smith: You are lucky, old man, to be able to give away such cigars. Said Skinner: I never knew what a cigar could be before smoking that on. Said Thompson: Great! After smoking one of that brand I never wish for another. Said Briggs: No more rank cigars for me after yours. Said White: I feel that I can never again match such a cigar. Sald Green; I picked up one of my own while smoking your cigar and threw it away in disgust. And now Jenkins is wondering.—Boston Transcript. In the Side Show.

Many years ago, in consequence of a commercial panic, there was a severe run on a bank in South Wales, and the small farmers jostled each other in crowds to draw out their money. Things were rapidly going from bad to worse, when the bank manager, in a fit of desperation, suddenly be thought him of an expedient. By his directions a clerk, having heated some sovereigns in a frying pan, paid them over the counter to an anxious applicant. "Why, they're quite hot!" said the latter as he took them up. "Of course," was the reply; "what else could you expect? They are only just out of the mold. We are coining them by hundreds as fast as we can." "Coining them!" thought the simple agriculturists; "then there, is no fear of the money running short!" With this their confidence revived, the panic abated, and the bank was enabled to weather the storm. The Enemies. Apropos of the enmity, now happily buried, that used 'to exist between Minneapolis and St. Paul, Senator Clapp said at a dinner in the former city: "I remember an address on caroless building that I once heard in Minneapolis.

"A bitter voice from the rear of the hall interrupted: "Well, it ain't enough,' it said." Misdirected Energy "How did the street car company come to fire that old conductor? I thought he had a pull?"

When prominent men realize the injurious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others. A superintendent of public schools in a Southern state says: "My mother, since her early childhood, was an inverteater coffee drinker, had been troubled with her heart for a number of years and complained of that 'weak all over' feeling and sick stomach. "Some time ago I was making an official visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat peculiar flavor of the coffee, and asked him concerning it. He replied that it was Postum. I was so pleased with it that, after the meal was over, I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal; the whole family liked it so well that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. "I had really been at times very anxious concerning my mother's condition, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to its use, and had little trouble with her heart and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This continued until she was as well and hearty as the rest of us. "I know Postum has benefited myself and the other members of the family, but in a more marked degree in the case of my mother, as she was a victim of long standing." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They have true, true, and full of human interest. Booker T. Washington's Address To Negro Business League----Two Thousand Delegates And Visitors Attended Eleventh Annual Session of Organization in New York City. Ten years ago a small group of well-known Negroes, headed by Dr. Booker T. Washington, met in Boston and effected an organization known as the National Negro Business league, which held its eleventh annual convention and celebrating its tenth anniversary in New York city recently. The National Negro-Business league within the past ten years has grown to be the most influential organization of Negroes in America, and reflects the marked advancement the race is making nlong business and professional lines. Over 30,000 Negroes throughout the country are affiliated with the national and local leagues, and there are about five hundred local bodies in existence. At each annual session practical talks are given by the farmer, manufacturer, merchant and professional men who have succeeded in their respective chosen avocations. There were more delegates, in attendance at this year's session than ever before. It is estimated that there were 2,000 delegates and visitors in the city. Mississippi and Texas claim distinction of having the largest number of delegates in attendance. New England was more largely represented than ever before by Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Among the states which have never been represented by state organizations at previous conventions are North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana and Alabama. Dr. Washington was listened to attentively by the large crowd assembled to hear him. He congratulated the Negro press for the recognition it had shown the National, Negro Business league, made a plea for race solidarity, deplored the prevalence of mob law, and pointed out how the Negro can make himself an economic factor in the United States. His address in part was as follows: "Before uttering a single sentence regarding any other subject, I wisa to express the deep obligation which the National Negro Business league is under to the Negro press of the United States for the generous and unfailing interest which it has taken in this and in previous meetings of this organization. Were it not for the generous space given to the affairs of this organization in the form of editorials and news items without question and without cost, it would have been impossible for it to have attained to its present degree of success. Let no one doubt or question in the future the value and influence of the Negro newspaper. Though it may be a seemingly small and insignificant sheet with a limited circulation reaching the people only in one community, nevertheless this Negro paper has its influence. More and more in the future than has been true in the past, I plead with all the earnestness that I can command for the generous and constant support of the Negro press. This support should come not only from the masses of our people, but in the especial degree it should come from the man of education, from the man who is engaged in some business enterprise. Such support, in an increasing degree, I believe the Negro press will have. There are few agencies which, together with the church and the school, have exerted a greater influence in the uplift of our race than is true of the Negro newspaper, and often this influence is exerted at the price of property, hard work and self-denial on the part of the publishers. "As each delegate and visitor to this league returns to his home, I hope he will carry with him a resolve that in the future he will see to it CURIOUS CONDENSATIONS. There is just one way for the people of the city to find it possible to buy eggs, chickens, meat and flour for less money—that is for some of them to leave the city and go back to raising more hens, more cattle, and growing more wheat. The largest apartment house in the world is being built on a site covering the entire block bounded by Eighty-sixth and Eighty-seventh stretches, Broadway and Amsterdam avenues, Manhattan. It will be twelve stories high, with a court in the center, and will cost $3,000,000. The Maryland Prisoners' Aid association, which maintains a house of industry in Baltimore for ex-convicts, has completed another year of good service to the state and its charges. In the year 229 men have been paroled in care of the association, and of this number only four have been returned to the criminal court and sentenced to prison. Some 6 of the moon's mountains are 36,000 feet high. Berlin is sail to have more trees in the streets than, any other city. John J.

NEW YORK NEGROES ARE PROGRESSIVE that his local Negro newspaper has his hearty support and co-operation. "But to the text I have chosen: 'To Him That Hath Shall Be Given.' "These lines spoken by the Master strike the keynote for individual success, and equally so for racial success. "The chief object of the National Negro Business league is to teach the Negro the value of the opportunities that he possesses as well as the value of the opportunities that are before him. Let us convince the world that we have opportunities and are conscious of them, and more opportunities will come to us--more openings for our growth will appear. "To him that hath shall be given," is the law of life. On the other hand, if the world becomes convinced that we have no opportunities, that there is no future before us, despair and death will follow and the opportunities that we have will disappear. The world is interested in the man who is succeeding. The world is interested in a race that is succeeding. "In the United States there are ten millions of Negroes and there is a normal increase. Ten millions of people living under the same government, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, with the same history back of them, of the same color with varying shades of difference, united, banded together, moving in the same direction, can be made a great power for usefulness and righteousness. Ten millions of people mean a population of Canada, nearly as large as that of the republic of Mexico. We have as many colored people in the United States as there are inhabitants in Norway, Sweden and Switzerland combined. "I repeat that one of the objects of the National Negro Business league is to emphasize among ourselves and before the world that which we possess in the way of actual ownership and in opportunity. "To him that hath saill be given." The world today seeks the Japanese, it seeks the Canadian, it seeks the Jew in New York, it seeks the white man in Oregon, in Alaska and in the southern states to pour into their laps riches, more opportunities, because they possess something and because they emphasize their possessions. "On the other hand, let any group of people, or race, make a business of advertising their want of opportunity and their poverty of possession, and the world passes them by or flees from them. "Practically all the fundamental conditions for industrial and business success are before the Negro in America, and here I speak of prevailing conditions, not of the exceptions. There is the right of domicile. The Negro under law and under custom can reside in any part of the United States that he chooses. What a change in fifty years? The Negro can own property in any part of the United States, another tremendous change, in our condition within a half century. The Negro has a greater opportunity to get ownership in the soil in this country, especially in the southern states, than any ten millions of people in the world who are in the same relative stage of civilization. No one can travel through this country as I am constantly doing, without being proud of the fact that the Negro is using this chance to get hold of the soil. "Let us never forget that the success of the man in business is dependent upon the success, the happiness and prosperity of the laboring classase. Let us advertise, then, the fact that the Negro is in demand as a laborer rather than place too much stress That the Negroes of New York are making a remarkable progress, that they are not being driven out, but driven up in the business world are the encouraging conclusions of Geo. W. Harris in New York Tribune. The colored citizens of the metropolis have on deposit in various financial institutions more than five million dollars.' Their churches, conservatively estimated, are worth two millions, to say nothing of their various other charitable institutions, like orphan asylums; homes for the aged, and Christian associations for young men and young women. But better still, the Negroes of New York city have business enterprises and representatives in every district of this city, including Wall street. A casual glance into any one of the large black belts of the metropolis will convince one of the truth of the assertion that the Negroes of New York are not only holding their own, but making progress. But it is in Harlem Let's Be Stylish. Argus was lamenting his hundred eyes. Thus he regretted he could not put on style.—New York Sun. High Kicker. Willie: Papa, there's a big black bug on the ceiling. Papa (busy reading): Well, step on it and don't bother me.—Boston Transcript. upon the exceptional cases where the Negro cannot get work, for here again my text applies, "For to him that hath shall be given," for no one wants to employ the man who cannot get work. The world is not in search of the lazy man. No one cares to employ the lawyer who has no clients or the physician who has no patients. "Again, to the Negro in business, especially in the southland, in the matter of freedom of trade there is a golden opportunity. While in other directions there are restrictions, in the business world there is a freedom and an opportunity that has rarely come to any race so recently out of slavery. The Negro retail merchant can buy his goods from the wholesale dealer on as favorable terms, as the white retail merchant can. The Negro business man can borrow money at the local bank just as readily as the white business man can. The best white people in the south are just as ready to purchase from the Negro merchant as from the white merchant. "With all that I have mentioned in this country the Negro enjoys freedom of opportunity to get education, freedom of religious worship, to a degree not afforded any similar group of our people in the world." "With all of these fundamental elements favorable toward our industrial and business success, as a race in the United States let us not, I repeat, make the mistake of dwelling over much upon the things that we have not, but rather glory in the opportunities that we possess, for the making of the most of these opportunities will bring us more openings and more opportunities. The more we advertise to the world that discriminations are made against us, the more will discriminations multiply. "Let us as in some degree representing the present prosperity and the future hope of our race, go out from this meeting determined that each individual shall be a missionary in his community—a missionary in teaching the masses to get property, to be more thrifty, more economical, and resolved to establish an industrial or business enterprise whenever a possibility presents itself. "We are making progress. Perhaps never before have the Negroes added to their wealth so rapidly as they are at present. The Negroes of Georgia during the present year, added 47,045 acres to their land holdings and increased the value of their land holdings $563,532. During the past year the Negroes of Georgia bought over $560,000 worth of city and town property. They paid taxes last year on 1,536,765 acres of land. Through their real estate purchases and other means they added in 12 months $1,430,000 to their taxable property. Negro property in Georgia was assessed in 1909 at $28,272,580. "The Negroes of Virginia also dur- where the most striking proof of this is found. There reside not only thousands of quiet and industrious Negroes, but there and further up in the Bronx and Williamsbridge there are scores of cultured and comfortable homes of colored men and women. There in Harlem, where something like 45,000 Negroes have gone in the last half dozen years the Negro real estate office, restaurant, bakery, drug store, undertaker, cafe and grocery exist almost to the exclusion of the business of the other races. The Negroes of the Borough of Brooklyn are not one whit behind in their material progress. But, that being essentially a city of homes, it is there perhaps where they own the largest percentage of real estate. Not only in the congested districts, but throughout the residential sections as well the colored people own splendid homes. There, also, are many thrifty business enterprises. Motorists are asked by the Royal British Automobile club to forward to the secretary photographs of and information regarding unauthorized reduced speed limit signs. Edgar Bloom, a traveling salesman of Kansas City, Mo., is deaf and dumb. He sells diamonds and carries a price list printed on a card which he hands to each merchant he visits. J. Pierpont Morgan belongs, to 35 clubs an 'this membership dues' over $7,000 annually. August Belmont is a member of 34, and Chaucey M. Depow belongs to 32. ing, the year 1909 added 53,452 acres to their land holdings and increased their land values $175,740. They bought $360,000 worth of city and town property, and increased the total amount of their property holdings during the 12 months $971,994. The Negroes of Virginia are now paying taxes on 1,517,500 acres of land and last year paid taxes on $26,600,280 worth of property. From the recorded progress that is being made in Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia, where records are kept of Negro property, owning, it is conservatively estimated that the Negroes of the United States are adding from twelve to fifteen millions of dollars to their wealth each year, and that their total wealth is now not far from $600,000,000. "At our session held last year in Louisville, Ky., an effort was started to bring about the celebration in 1913 of the fifteenth anniversary of the freedom of the race. The bill recommended by President Taft providing for a preliminary commission to investigate and report upon this, subject failed of passage at the last session of congress. Those in charge of the measure promise at the next session of congress to get a bill through making a direct appropriation toward the expenses of a celebration of some character. Whether such a bill passes congress or not, the agitation of the subject on the part of the Negro Business league and other organizations as well as by individuals has accomplished a great good, and whether congress assists us or not, in some form, in some manner, we as a race should not fall to call attention in 1913 to the progress that our race in the United States has made during the fifty years of freedom. "At our last annual gathering, recognition was made of the fact that the secretary of this organization, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, had been made a member of the American Commission to Liberia. "It is now fitting that this league should rejoice with our race everywhere that as a result of the work and recommendations of this commission to Liberia and as a result of the interest and practical help of President William H. Taft and Secretary Knox of the state department, plans have been matured by which Liberia is to receive a loan of a million and a half dollars from this' and other countries which it is believed will result in putting it firmly upon its feet financially, and we hope in other constructive directions. "In the last analysis the fitness of a race for freedom, the ability of a race to make progress is tested by whether or not individual members of the race have the ability in their own communities, in their own surroundings, to sink personal, selfish ambitions in the interest of bringing about the general good and larger progress of the whole people. Too often progress is delayed and hindered by reason of the fact that the strong men and women in each community find it impossible to throw aside, to put their feet upon their personal views and petty quarrels and enter into strong constructive, progressive work for the benefit of their whole community. Let us everywhere teach the world this lesson that the individual members of the Negro race may differ in personal matters, in social matters, in political matters, in religious matters, but at the same time that we have the ability when the time comes to sink all of these and unite on any project that has for its purpose the betterment of the whole community or the whole race." As Per Agreement. "I haven't the vestige of a case," said the crafty client to the craftier lawyer, "but I have money." "How much?" casually inquired the legal one. "Five thousand dollars," proclaimed the client. The lawyer put out his hand, "Shake hands!" he said, "You have the best case I ever heard of. I'll see that you never go to jail with that sum." And he did. The client went there "broke." "Shure, Ol can't help ut. Ol wint to th' daintist." "Yes?" "And th' blackhead pulled th' wrong tooth. Ain't that a joke on him?" Hopeful But Timorous.

WONDERS never cease: Maine has "gone back" on the Republicans. The Democrats are jubilant. The Republicans may play them even by capturing Tennessee. THE time for the reopening of the various schools and colleges is at hand, and thousands of boys and girls will have the opportunity of preparing themselves for the sterner duties of life. INSURGENCY is a new element in the Republican party. It is causing the Old Guard to recognize them, and in fact President Taft is leading the stand patters in this direction. UNDER the caption "Washington, the World's Most Extraordinary Negro," Edward Marshall in the September number of The Columbian, gives a characteristic write up of Booker T. Washington, from his early boyhood. It makes interesting reading. THE TRIBUNE has always stated that this administration will not stand for the brutality of policemen toward any class of citizens, and this was again proven recently by the Mayor's severe findings against the policeman who clubbed a colored man on Broughton and Price streets. THE Negro is making himself felt in all parts of the world. It was left to Major Taylor, the famous bicyclist, to form one of the largest automobile factories in France and is its president. Mr. Taylor is a resident of Worcester, Mass., and he is known by some of our citizens, having trained here a few weeks about ten years ago. RECENTLY several munificent gifts have been left to colored institutions of learning. The residue of a million dollar estate was left to Tuskegee and more recently three thousand dollars each were left to this institute and Atlanta University. These gifts are well placed and will be the means of doing untold good in the uplifting of our youths. THERE is a young colored man in this city, whose occupation is very humble, and he earns but a small salary. Out of this meagre amount he supports his household and besides that is purchasing a home. What this young man is doing can be done by others especially the ones who are drawing larger salaries. Our young men should learn the lesson of economy and saving in order that when the days of adversity come they will have a few cents upon which to "fall back on." Next month the tax books will be opened for the payment of state and county taxes. An appeal should be made to each colored man in the state and especially those in this county to pay his poll tax. The paying of this tax will help in several ways: First, we are anxious for it to be done because it is the main qualification for registering as a voter, and secondly the dollar goes to the school fund, and of course our children are badly in need of this fund in this county in order to increase the school facilities. One of the main reasons why the board of education is slow in acting in this direction is because of the small number of colored men that pays this tax. Hundreds of colored men can be counted, who have had and now have children in the public school and who have never paid a dollar tax. This class is acting the drone part and retarding progress. A lively campaign should be inaugurated in order to create interest along this line. The time is now ripe, and the thoughtful ones should commence urging the paying of this dollar tax for education and citizenship qualification. THERE is a disposition on the part of the school authorities to provide no place whatever in which the children in the country districts can be taught. For that reason these schools, many, of them, are taught in broken down churches and halls. If the authorities can not be influenced to provide better places, then the patrons should get together and do so in order that the children may have comfortable and inviting school rooms. The efforts of some of the patrons at Woodville and Isle of Hope to provide better accommodation is commendable. This is done through the energy of the teachers at these places. Let other teachers bestir themselves in this direction. WHILE we have a number of voters who dislike the attitude of the administration in the matter of displacing colored men and also in reducing many in minor positions, yet in the coming fall elections the straight party ticket should be voted. There will come a time when the ones responsible for these offenses will meet their Waterloo. A Fault We Must Correct. A Fault We, Must Correct. To continue eternally to harp on the virtues of the Negro, would no doubt, be as detrimental to his welfare as to continue forever to air his faults. The boy who is always praised will soon become spoiled and of little account. In like manner, the boy who is always "bawled out" on account of his faults will cease to have ambition to make the most of himself. They are not our best friends who forever find fault with us, nor are they our best friends who forever praise, us. There are times when it does good for one person to commend another person for having done some good deed. Then, there are times when it is well for one person to censure the other person on account of some fault. When these things are done in sincerity, an amount of good is the result. Now, the TRIBUNE is not a perpetual faultfinder nor a perpetual bestower of praise. We believe that the Negroes have demonstrated to the world some very fine qualities; but we are also aware of the fact that we, as a people, have some faults. We believe that it is possible to overcome these faults and that an occasional reminder will hasten the elimination of the faults. It would do much good if the Negroes of Chatham would learn the lesson of "keeping promises." There are very few who hold sacredly to a promise once made. How easily and apparently without even thinking do we make promises, and how seldom do we keep the promises. How easy it is to promise to participate on a program, to pay a debt, to meet a friend, to discharge some obligation, to subscribe to a fund, etc. But when it comes to keeping the promise, how few of us make our word good. We ought to keep promises which have been made, show up at the appointed time, and if we cannot meet the obligation, try to get word to the party of the second part. Many times at concerts, entertainments, church, lectures, not to mention the 1001 daily promises, men fail to show up in person, by proxy, by note, or by telephone. We have become so lax, that whenever we are scheduled to pull off any entertainment, we generally run it according to "C. P. Time." If we will think of the inconvenience to the other party by our not keeping a promise, we can see that this fault of not "keeping promises" needs to be overcome. Let us therefore, be more-careful in making promises and prompt and exact in carrying them out. The Man Farthest Down Principal Booker T. Washington, who 'describes, the Negro Problem as "The Problem of the Man: Farthest Down," is taking a journey through those parts of Europe in which the man who is "farthest down" lives and works. His purpose is to compare the people who do the rough work in the fields, on the public works, and in the mines of Europe, with the masses of the Negro people who do the hard work in the South. The results of his observations will be published in a series of articles in The Outlook, of New York City. Principal Washington will probably visit three or four of the large cities of Europe, notably London and Berlin, and will endeavor to make accurate estimates of the relative condition and opportunities of the people he meets there, as compared with those of the Negro in the South, with whom he is probably better acquainted than any other living man. He will also study the agricultural regions of southern Europe, where the bulk of our immigrant population comes from. Principal Washington believes that when this country comes to a more accurate understanding of the difficulties that the masses of the working people in other parts of the world have to struggle against, it will have gone far toward solving our Race Problem. Student. Anderson Redding, a colored farmer of Julliett, Ga.; has been offered $5,000 for a stalk puller that he invented and had patented some time ago.

How she prayed to God in glory That she might live her twins to see Each one confess the good old tory, Of Christ's death upon the tree. To this prayer He gave the answer That in nineteen hundred five, Both were made alive in Jesus, Both went down and were baptized. Mother lived just one month after, She was willing thus to die To live with God, our Heavenly Master, Who had called her from on high. She had lived to see both of us Large enough for selves to care, And her footsteps we have followed For we mean to meet her there. Now you've chosen, my dear sister, A separate life from mine to live May God help you on your journey, And all blessing to you give. May we e'er stay near together Where we may lend a helping hand To each other as mother wished it, Though she's gone to yonder's land. We are namely, first "Pearlena" The one you see arrayed in white. And the other, "Albertina" Who bids you now a sweet good night. For Over Fifty Years.

The Importance of Having Your Clothes Tailored To Order. Most men are doing things in this country today for tailor dressed men. They are not ashamed to be seen anywhere—to stand up for the most critical examination. They know that ready-made clothes can only properly fit one man out of a hundred and they don't want to be one of the ninety-nine others. Stop to think: has another man's suit ever fitted you, no matter what's his size? Didn't the collar stand off at the neck? Weren't the sleeves too long or too short, the back too tight, or didn't the trousers look wrong? How can you expect, then, to be satisfied with such a suit even if new. On the other hand, the merchant tailor not only fits every measure, but you have the opportunity of preserving your individuality and suiting your personality in every particular. Do yourself justice. Have your suit tailored to order. Use good material. You will appreciate it as long as you have it. Drop in and see our 20-22 W. STATE ST. 509½ WEST_BROAD_ST.

Is The Christian Salvation Unreasonable? THE SPIRIT OF JEALOUSY Two kinds of salvation are proposed to us today; Salvation by character and salvation to character. The former is the old legal salvation by works. The latter is the Christian salvation by grace. The alternative is as old as the gospel. According to Paul it is as old as Abraham, as old in deed as Cain and Albe. In one view we achieve salvation; in the other we receive it. According to the former we learn it. According to the latter it is a gift to us. Which view is reasonable? However reasonable the idea of salvation by character, may appear, it is not practicable. And if both careful thought and a social experience show that it is neither practicable nor reasonable. How can that which is the end to be attained be also the means for its attainment? And where, as a matter of fact, is the man who can say that he has found this method feasible? There is not in all the world a man with a self-saved character, not one whose character entitles him to present himself as a model or illustration of self-redeemation. The best men are the most humble and self-distrustful, least willing to set themselves up as of any worth or desert because of any accomplishment of theirs in the production of character. Thus, as in the days of the Pharisees, the men who would save themselves, by their own achievements spoil the work from the outset by the same principle of radical error which vitiated the whole Pharisaic ethical method. The essence of salvation is a victory over sin which no man ever won, or can win in his own strength, and its trust-mark is a beauty of humbleness which repudiates all regard for self. If the Christian salvation is not reasonable we are in a bad way; for the other kind is possible. But Christan salvation is not unreasonable. On the contrary, in the first place, the ideal of it is the only ideal that can take care of the necessities of our situation; in the second place, it is a fact which we are witnessing every day; and in the third place, while we cannot go very far into the theory of it without getting beyond our depth, the central principle of it is the only rational and practicable principle. --- It is the only ideal which can take care of the necessities of our situations. As soon as we have come through upon our real souls, and measured ourselves over against the perfect, and have begun to reach not only the unconscious dereliction, but also the weak or wilful defections, a sense of siame comes upon us, so deep in many men that they feel a manly acceptance of damnation to be the only possible course for them. But such feelings can only last where the soul hardens and comes to despise its true destiny and desire, and they give way in sensitive spirits to a noble pentence for what is recognized to be the guilt of sin. We want to have that lifted from us. That is our first great need, but it is not our only necessity. We are conscious of being caught in a powerful clutch, "When I would do good," said Paul, "evil is present with me." The momentum or habit, the waywardness of desire, the gravitation of the brute in us, gives to sin a fearful grip upon the mind and will. We want this broken, where is the strong deliverer who will shatter it for us? We look for him. He is not in our character. That is where the very forces are found which need to be rent asunder and overmastered for us. This is our second necessity. And even with this power of evil broken we are left undone. The strength of sin shattered, we are left weak men. The will of God must be done, not merely suffered. How can we do it? These is work to be finished before the night cometh. The beauty of holliness and It was the spirit of jealousy that caused murder in the first family of the earth and this spirit has been rampant in all time, and in all places. The progress of community life is often much hindered because of prevailing jealousies too often found in men who ought to be "foremost in urging peace and good will" to all. It is "war to the knife" for fear that another will take the first place in power, in honor, in reputation or in possession. So deep becomes the suspicion that he will be outstripped; a man will take the advantage of his rival and seek to do him an injury. Sometimes the resort is to bodily injury, sometimes it is an order to injure his property. But most frequently it is seen in the sneaking attempt to injure his reputation or his business. He feels that the most successful way to accomplish his friendish purpose. An attempt is now being made to pass a law in the state of Connecticut to limit the number of saloons to one for every thousand of population, the same to become effective in one year from the passage of the law. Nine years ago, the state of Virginia had 1800 distilleries and 3,000 saloons. Now there are only 50 distilleries and 300 saloons. the fruits of righteousness are requirements of the Christian character. We must find power to produce them. This is our third great necessity. And lastly we need a fellowship richer, more penetrative, more understanding, than any human friendship can supply. We want God. No denials or skepticisms or naturalisms can do more than conceal a want they cannot eradicate. Our heart and our flesh cry out for the living God. These are the needs of our situation when we recover our souls. Only the Christian ideal of salvation covers them. It was designed precisely and conclusively to provide for them. And the fact that it does provide for them is a fact which we are witnessing every day. We do not see a single man saying himself by his character. We constantly see men making strong use of their will and battling mantfully against temptation or difficulty, and winning splendid virtues, but when they only resource of such men is their own will we always find them either ignoring certain great moral or spiritual problems altogether, or, in case they discern them, utterly failing to cope with them. And even in the best of such achievements there are wanting deep undertones of tenderness and humility and understanding, resources of patience and of power, a sense of things beyond things and yet within them, and, indeed, save so far as it is reflected upon them from the lives of others or the forces of Christian sentiment in the world, just that which is distinctive, precious, and indispensable in the Christian salvation. And this is what we see when we take salvation by character at its best. But how, seldom we find it at its best, is Saul of Tarsus, for example, represented it, or, better yet, as Galileal or Socrates! In practical life salvation by character amounts at its highest efficiency to the practice of some of the ten commandments plus some Christian charity, but the virtues which are not in the ten commandments, but which are in love, in purity of thought and desire, in truperspective of life, in forgiveness and service—these are not self-generated. And sin is not eradicated by the soil which produces it. But we do see daily the triumph of the Christian salvation over sin and its production of character where there was no character at all or where what character there was inefficient and frail. There are thousands of saved men who know nothing of theology or psychology, but who can say with the indisputable evidence of personal experience: "One thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see." The man who has been saved by the Christian salvation will be the last mantr claim perfection of attainment. "I count not myself yet to have apprehended," is his word, "but I follow after." There is in him the principle of a living power producing in him the principle of a living power in him by the humbling and creative might of God a new character. It is the presence of such men in the world that gives it, wherever the Christian salvation is known, a radically new tone. And it is natural and inevitable that it should be so, for the Christian salvation embodies a distinct and transforming principle, the only rational and practicable, and yet the constantly desplised and rejected principle of salvation by grace and not by works, of salvation to character, not by character. If men are to be saved at all it must be by God's goodness, and not by their own merit. A thoughtful missionary in India who has sought to take up the most sympathetic attitude toward the religious ideas of India has recently written of his entire despair of men when once the idea of salvation by merit has would be to lie on his fellowman, and he does so. It may not be the pronounced lie that he tells, but we take every opportunity to belittle the reputation or the business of his rival. He is ever saying some hard things about him, and so beclouds him, or seeks so to do, that others are driven to believe that the man so belittled is not worth much as a man or as a business factor in the community. But what shall we say when this spirit of jealousy finds place in the hearts of representative men, such as ministers of the Gospel and editors of newspapers, to the extent that they seek to misrepresent each other? Yet it is a painful fact that preachers slander and backbite each other, teachers undermine teachers, and newspaper men revile and bellittle newspaper men. "O judgment, thou art fled to brutish beasts and men have lost their reason."—Southern Ploughman As We Would Have God Do. Alas, if my best friend, who hath laid down his life for me, were to remember all the instances in which I have neglected him, and to plead them against me in judgment, where should I hide my guilty head in the day of recompense? I will pray, therefore, for blessings on my friends, even though they cease to be, so, and upon my enemies, though they continue such—Cowper. Fame is a bubble while notoriety is a cloud. possessed them. It is "an idea absolutely deadly. The history of India and of all mere self-culture philosophies shows how deadly it is. It is deadly because it rests on folly and falsehood. The only possible salvation must be a salvation from the pride and untruth of salvation by personal merit. The man who thinks so much of his own character, as not to be ashamed of it has a lost character. The genuinely bad man knows this. So does the genuinely good man "The peculiar doctrine which has passed into Europe, under Luther's name," said J. A. Froude, "is known as Justification by Faith. . . . As originally proclaimed by Luther it contained the deepest of moral truths. It expressed what was, and is, and must be, in one language or another, to the end of time, the conviction of every generous-minded man." It must be so because only love so great as to be utterly undeserved can save us, doing in us the work of purification, or humiliation, of new creation and ennoblement, of invigoration and development which is Christian salvation. Salvation is too big a thing to be within any man's power. Yet it is within every man's reach on one condition, namely, that he will accept it as a gift and be true to the giver. What we cannot do, we can have. We cannot make a character, but God will make one in us. Our very inability, is God's opportunity. If God were not involved, it would be otherwise; we could then work out our own salvation. Only in that case there would be no salvation worth speaking of, the end of 'it all would be gone. The very ideal of it would dry out and decay. But introduce God, and at once salvation becomes the restoration of the soul to him and the only power of salvation becomes his power, who will do for us what we can only attempt to do for ourselves at the cost of increasing God's task in saving us. — Sunday School Times.

Laughter that is sweet is apt not to be frequent. RACE GLEANINGS. Our southern newspapers are more and more taking cognizance of the industrious Negro. Recently the Observer of this city called attention to the fact that South Carolina had forged ahead of the Old North State in the value of farm products. Despite the difference in population and area is much in favor of our state, the Palmetto state beats us in farm products. It occurs to the Observer, the Macon Telegraph and other influential papers that Negroes are largely responsible for South Carolina's lead. As a farmer, whether cultivating his own land or a tenant of the large southern white planter the Negro is the best laborer in the south. He is better contented on the farm, can be maintained at less cost and is better adapted to the climate than others. Star of Zion. Never be rudely boisterous at home or elsewhere. The trouble is that when a man tries to forget a woman she won't let him. When a lazy man finally does get started—how he does work—for a few minutes! No body of men in the state will find so much work to do as will the Tax Payers' league and it is hoped that every taxpayer in the county will interest him or her self in the work and try to devise some way to head off the taxation burdens all of them have to bear. To argue that the move is in the interest of the heavy taxpayers is the talk of an idiot. If the running expenses of the government are cut down the big taxpayers will have to bear the same proportion of the taxes—paid, as when the expenses were excessive—Seattle Republican. Being on time is a thing in which the world: at large will have few Negro competitors. We always sympathize with that patient, plodding preacher who makes his way to church on time, and, stared in the face by a lonesome sexton, two or three of the faithful and plenty of empty pews, raises a doleful and apologetic song to make up as best he can for his congregation's criminal negligence. Yes, we mean exactly what we say: criminal negligence; for we have little faith in that Christianity which allows its exponents to be on time at concerts, baseball games, etc., but invariably behind time when the church is the objective point. The Negro people must learn to value time and learn to be on time, on time at church, on time at school, on time to pay their debts, on time at work, on time to go to bed, on time to rise in the morning. We are accustomed to put things off until the last moment, saying "Oh, there is plenty of time." Dr. Dunton, president of Glaflin University, is accustomed to say that "the best part of a plenty of time is the first part." It is better to be ahead of time and spend some moments waiting than to have a business man, a minister, a teacher or some other busy person wait on you. His time is probably more valuable than yours. It is said that if a Tuskegee student goes into Dr. Washington's office a minute after the appointed time he stands a poor chance of seeing Dr. Washington, even though he is not particularly engaged. At Tuskegee they are teaching people to be on time. How full of righteous indignation we often become when we are sitting in church, enjoying a good sermon, and some belated brother with squacky shoes goes tramping up to the "amen" corner, at the same time, so drowning out the minister's voice that he can't be profibly heard. We were once a student at an institution where everything was done on time. Five minutes past the hour did not mean four or six minutes past; it meant just what it said—five minutes. There we went to bed on time, we arose on time, we dined on time, we studied on time, we went to work on time and we stopped on time, we played on time and we worshiped on time. There the minister began to preach on time and he stopped on time; he did not preach any after he had finished. There I never knew a meal to fail to be on time. One could confidently set his watch by the movements of some of the officers of that institution. We have no patience with people who say that Negroes can't learn to be on time. That's false, for some of the most prominent officers of this institution are Negroes. Institution for the training of our youth which are not seeking to instill into them the importance of being on time are making a serious mistake. Let's learn to be on time. Let's be on time.—Southern Ploughman. The annual reports of the State Highway commissioners declare that oiling of roads to lay dust has a marked effect on the famous Jersey mosquitoes. The smoke and gases from the passing automobiles also have their effect, it is said, reinforcing the fumes of the road oil in driving back the pests. Street traffic in Chicago is now being handled by the police according to an elaborate code of rules recently promulgated. Under the new regulations a driver before stopping or slowing up must signal by raising the right hand. Horse-drawn vehicles have the right-of-way over all others street cars excepted. An important rule requires drivers of vehicles to use great caution when passing street cars, so as not to injure passengers alighting or getting on the car. Another stipulates that "no vehicle shall emerge from an alley, stable or garage at a pace faster than a walk; at the latter place an attendant should precede the vehicle to give warning." The report of the select committee for settling the king's civil list has again fixed the total of the British sovereign's income to 470,000 pounds, the sum paid yearly to King Edward. The British king is poorly paid. He receives less than half the sum paid to the German emperor, 310,000 pounds less than the income of the Austrian emperor, and considerably less than the king of the comparatively poor kingdom of Italy. The one problem in Australia, which really overshadows every other is that of the huge, rich unpeopled northern territories. It is an ever greater problem than that of immigration, which to some extent forms a part of it. Here are enormous stretches of well-watered land capable of growing wheat, vast grazing areas, auriferous belts, rich tropical lands, innumerable natural products, deep rivers and fine harbors. The portion known as northern territory contains little more than one thousand white inhabitants. Twenty-Two States Now Represented There.

Recipes Stuffed Prunes—One pound of prunes, the white of one egg, one quarter of a teaspoonful of vanilla, and as much confectioner's or powdered sugar as the 'egg will take up. To prepare the prunes to resemble stuffed dates, stew the prunes until they are soft but not mushy, then split them lengthwise on one side and remove the stones. When they have cooled stuff with the following mixture: Slightly beat the vanilla, and rub in powdered sugar until the mass is solid enough to be molded. Fill each prune with 'the mixture and pack in small tin boxes, dusting each layer with powdered sugar. These will not keep long, as the mixture used for filling is not cooked, but they are mucun liked by children for their luncheon baskets, and form a simple and healthful confection. Egg Rolls—Two cups flour, one level teaspoon salt, two level teaspoons baking powder, two level tablespoons lard, two level tablespoons butter, one egg, one-half cup milk. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder, work in the shortening with the fingers. Add the egg well beaten and mixed with the milk. Mix well, toss onto a floured board and knead lightly. Roll out and cut in two-inch squares. Place a half inch apart in a buttered pan. Gash the center of each with a sharp knife. Brush over with sugar and water, and bake fifteen minutes in a hot oven. Lemon Cream Jelly—Soak one fourth of a box of gelatin in one cupful of cold water; put one cupful of sugar and one cupful of water in a saucepan, add the rind of one lemon and the juice of three; add the soaked gelatin, and when it has dissolved remove and strain it; when it is cool and begins to thicken add two cupfuls of whipped cream; turn into a mold, and let stand in a cool place two hours. Apple Meringue—Slice any kind of stale cake, put the slices in a baking dish and pour a little milk over; pare and core four or five apples; cover the cakes with the sliced apples; sprinkle cinnamon or a little grated nutmeg over and a half cup of granulated sugar; put the dish in a quick oven and when the apples are tender make a meringue, by beating the whites to a stiff froth; to each white add one tablespoonful of powdered sugar; using two or three whites to this quantity of apple, heap lightly over the pudding and brown slightly AFTER DOCTORS FAILED LydiaE.Pinkham'sVegetable Compound Cured Her Knoxville, Iowa. — "Lsuffered with pains low down in my right side for a year or more and was so weak and nervous that I could not do my work.

Arrangements for the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals for 1910 have been announced by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis and the American Red Cross. "A Million for Tuberculosis" will be the slogan of the 1910 campaign. Two features of the sale this year are unique and will bring considerable capital to the tuberculosis fighters. The American: National Red Cross is to issue the stamps as in former years, but this organization will work in close co-operation with the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, which body will share in the proceeds of the sales. The charge to local associations for the use of the national stamps has been reduced also from 20 per cent, to $12½ per cent, which will mean at least $50,000 more for tuberculosis work in all parts of the United States. The stamps are to be designated as "Red Cross Seals" this year, and are to be placed on the back of letters instead of on the front. Does Engineering Work. Mile.

If the state should levy a tax on your crops, equal to 25 per cent of the value, you would rebel in righteous indignation. Douldn's you? Yet a good many of us permit a stand of 25 per cent of weeds to occupy our fields and think we are doing pretty good farming, too. Why not grow grain or alfalfa, or sugar beets or spuds, or some other good crop where that weed tax is now growing. The weeds give no return. They draw more heavily on the water supply and plant food supply than paying crops. Paying crops and weeds cannot occupy land at the same time. Let us grow paying crops and get profits rather than pay taxes. Pound for pound, the plant food required by crops and by weeds is almost the same, but weeds are better food gatherers. The greatest difference comes when the question of water arises. Weeds not only require more water but are able to get it. From 300 to 700 pounds of water are used in producing a pound of dry matter in our common crops. Weeds require even more. If it comes to a contest as to which will get it, the weeds win. It is estimated from careful study that Colorado's crop was reduced over 25 per cent in value last year through weeds alone. Reform the weed.—Alvin Keyser, Colorado Agricultural college. BEST CARE OF MANURE. Manure is very perishable and loses rapidly under most conditions from the time it is made. If dropped where it is wanted, or if applied at once, the loss is the least. No farmer should be so blind as to suppose he is keeping up fertility in proportion as he feeds stock, unless he gives the manure proper care; it is getting manure on the land that counts in fertility. When manure cannot be hauled and spread as soon as produced, it is best preserved by the deep stall system (letting it accumulate under the animal's feet, with plenty of bedding for any desired time.) This system seems especially adapted to winter feeding in mixed farming. Nitrogen is the principal element in manure, and the full value of manure is secured only when it is applied to land needing nitrogen.—Frank L. Man in News and Courler. TRY MILK-FEEDING IN TEXAS. Galveston, Texas.—The W. R. White Produce company has about two cars of live poultry which are being milk-fed. The fowls are allowed to run in a half-acre lot adjoining the plant and are literally glutted with fresh milk. The experiment, which is novel in Texas, is attracting no little attention and much speculation is being indulged in, whether or not the process will pay. Since the milk-feeding plant opened, the firm killed off about four cars of milk-fed poultry. Two cars are now in the freezer at Denison while two more are being held at Dallas. It is the contention of the White Produce company that chickens can be milk-fed in Texas to better advantage than they can in the East, and with cheaper prices prevailing for fowls the heavy freight charges can be paid and competition met in New York.—New York Produce News. MAKING SAUERKRAUT. An Arkansas correspondent asks directions for making kraut. Remove the outside leaves and core of the cabbage, and then slice fine. The slicing can be done easily and rapidly by using one of the cabbage slicers sold by seedsmen. The slicer is placed across the head of a barrel and when ten or fifteen pounds have been sliced sprinkle heavily with salt, and ram it down well so as to pack it as close as possible. Such a rammer as is used in setting posts is very convenient for this. Keep on slicing, salting and ramming until the barrel is full, then put in a loose head on which a heavy weight is placed, and let stand in a cool place until ready for use. At least one pound of salt should be used for every twenty pounds of cabbage. Is if too little is used, the kraut will spoil, while if too much is used the excess is 'easily rinsed out. The warmer the weather when the kraut is made the more salt will be needed—Weekly Memphis Commercial-Apeal. SPURS FOR POULTRYMEN. Right now is a good time to hatch guineas and bantams. Feather eating is a vice caused by overcrowding and idleness. THE DIRTIEST GREAT COUNTRY ON EARTH Some days ago, at the Rural Life conference of the University of Virginia, Dr. Chas. Waddell Stiles, the discoverer of the hookworm, made the statement that "the United States is the dirtiest great country on earth." He points a convincing anger at the prevalence of a super-abundance of files in this country, whereas the fly nuisance has been fought so thoroughly and continuously in England that the use of wire screens is no longer an absolute necessity. If the statement is true,—and to all appearances it is—the only thing for us to do is to take our medicine and clean up like decent people. We must remember that the large majority of cases of typhoid fever, tuberculosis, and other diseases are very often carried from one person to another by files. Flies breed in horse manure and other piles of filth lying around uncovered. If this manure were hauled away as made, or enclosed in a pit or other place to prevent the flies depositing their eggs, it would not be long before somebody would begin to notice that we are not having the usual array of typhoid patients. Moreover, the land would, become richer because the fertility lost by exposure of the manure to sunshine and rain would be saved to the soil because it has been kept dry in the pit or dumped directly on the land—just where the fertility is needed. Of course, there are other means whereby these deadly diseases are communicable, but if the files and soil pollution were strictly cared for, these diseases would be practically unknown. VALUE OF CLEANLINESS. The Minnesota experiment station advises farmers to make conditions sanitary about the premises where hogs are kept, which will aid in preventing hog cholera. Never wait until the animals are sick. If possible, prevent sickness from attacking them. Give hogs plenty of clean pasture where disease has not infected the soil, and provide clean, wholesome food; scald, disinfect and clean the troughs and swill barrels while the hogs are healthy. Do so frequently through the summer. Don't compel them to lie in their own or any other filth. Clean quarters, clean food, clean water, clean air are the best preventatives against cholera. The same ideas of cleanliness in quarters, food, water and air also keep the farmers' family healthy; his cattle and horses healthy; his poultry healthy. PLENTY OF PLANT FOOD. Experiments have very well shown that plenty of food for plants in the soil amounts to much in helping to overcome unfavorable weather or other bad seasonable conditions. The year 1889 was of an undesirable sort, and wherever that was the case the crop was small. On the grounds of One experiment station the crop generally was bad. In the part where no manure was used the yield per acre was only 10.9 baskets, while the manured and fertilized ground both gave 150 baskets to the acre. The manure strengthened and stimulated the trees and enabled them to successfully resist such conditions as were fatal to the crop on the unmanured land.—Home and Farm. Farm and Poultry Notes A special breed of corn is raised in Missouri, where the variety originated, also in Ohio, Illinois and Nebraska, known as the Cob Pipe, or Collier variety, the particular use of which is indicated by the first name given. It is characterized by very large cobs which are especially suited to pipe making. It is figured and described in Bulletin No. 87, of the Missouri agricultural experiment station. The ears are from seven to ten inches in length, frequently nine to eleven inches in circumference at the butt and blunt at the tip; while the cobs sell for 25 cents to 40 cents per hundred, while the kernels, which shell out only about 70 per cent to the cobs are also sold; making it a profitable sort to raise. The American corn cob pipe is known all over the globe where men smoke and is especially in favor in Australia and New Zealand. An editorial in the Grocery World says: "Sell eggs by the pound and the buyer of large eggs would get materially less for his money than when he bought them by the dozen." How so? The buyer of a pound of large eggs would pay that much less for useless eggshell than he who should buy a pound of small eggs. While it takes more shell to cover a single large egg than it does a single small egg, the proportion of eggshell to meat is larger, and a dozen small eggs contain less edible substance than a dozen of large ones.

Foster Milburn Co. Buffalo, N. Y. PROMISED A LIVELY TIME Mark Twain's Outline of Editorial Policy He,Had Made Up His Mind to Adopt. Mark Twain took the editorial chair on the Buffalo Express in August, 1869, and this is the paragraph in which he made the reader acquainted with his new responsibility: "I only wish to assure parties having a friendly interest in the prosperity of this journal that I am not going to hurt the paper deliberately and intentionally at any time. I am not going to introduce any startling reform or in any way attempt to make trouble. I am simply going to do my plain, unpretending duty—when I cannot get out of it. I shall work diligently and honestly and faithfully at all times and upon all occasions—when privation and want shall compel me to do so. In writing I shall confine myself to the truth, except when it is attended with inconvenience. I shall witheringly rebuke all forms of crime and misconduct, except when committed by the party inhabiting my own vest. I shall not make use of slang or vulgarity upon any occasion or in any circumstances and shall never use profanity except in discussing house rent and taxes. Indeed, upon second thought, I will not even then, for it is inegleant, un-Christian and degrading, I shall not often meddle with politics, because we have a political editor who is already excellent and only needs a term in the penitentiary to be perfect. I shall not write any poetry unless I conceive a spite against the subscribers." Unfair. Senator John H. Bankhead, discussing a political move, said with a smile: "Oh, it's too coldly calculated. It's almost unfair. In fact, it's like Mrs. Blank. "Mrs. Blank is a leader of Bar Harbor society. Her husband said to her, one afternoon, as she made a very elaborate toilet for a garden party that she was giving to some members of the British legation: "Why did you write to all our guests that this party was to be absolutely informal?" "Mrs. Blank laughed. "So as to be the best-dressed woman present, of course,' she said." "The Wish is Father to the Thought." Dr. Robert L. Waggoner, the president of Baldwin university, said, in the course of an address on pedagogy at Berea, O.; "And one of the most remarkable changes in the last 30 years of teaching is the abolition of corporal punishment. A boy of this generation is never whipped. But a boy of the last generation—well!" Doctor Waggoner smiled. "The boys of the last generation," he said, "must have believed that their instructors all had for motto: "The swish is father to the taught." Worth Remembering. "One of the delegates to the convention of the Negro Business Men's league in New York was worth $4,000,000." "Here's a pointer for the colored brother." "Let's have it."

Owen Seaman, editor of Punch, was the principal guest at a dinner of the London Authors' club recently, which was followed by a discussion on "Humor." Mr. Seaman began with a story deprecating the spoiling of good dinners by any discussion at all. There were three characters in the story—a bluebottle and two Scotsmen. The story at once struck a note of probability by showing the Scotsmen drinking whisky. The bluebottle buzzed on the pane; otherwise silence reigned. This was broken by one of the Scotsmen trying to locate the bluebottle with zoological exactitude. Said the Scotsman: "Sandy, I'm thinking if you fly is a birdie or a beastie." The other replied: "Man, don't spoil good whisky with religious conversation." TINY BABY'S PITIFUL CASE "Our baby when two months old was suffering with terrible eczema from head to foot, all over her body. The baby looked just like a skinned rabbit. We were unable to put clothes on her. At first it seemed to be a few mattered pimples. They would break the skin and peel off, leaving the underneath skin red as though it were scalds. Then a few more pimples would appear and spread all over the body, leaving the baby all raw without skin from head to foot. On top of her head there appeared a heavy scab a quarter of an inch thick. It was awful to see so small a baby look as she did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid to put his hands to the child. We tried several doctors remedies but all failed. "Then we decided to try Cuticura. By using the Cuticura Ointment we softened the scab and it came off. Under this, where the real matter was, by washing with the Cuticura Soap and applying the Cuticura Ointment, a new skin soon appeared. We also gave baby four drops of the Cuticura Resolvent three times daily. After three days you could see the baby gaining a little skin which would peel off and heal underneath. Now the baby is four months old. She is a fine picture of a little baby and all is well. We only used one cake of Cuticura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. If people would know what Cuticura is there would be few suffering with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Kossmann, 7 St. John's Place, Ridgewood Heights, N.Y., Apr. 30 and May 4, '09." INDEED, THEY DO.

T. Seddon Taliaferro, Jr., P. G. M. Wyoming. As I study the principles of Free-masonry I am ingre and more impressed with their grandeur and nobility, and as I contemplate the lives which we, as Masons, live it fills the heart with sorrow to think how far we fall below her standard; and I sometimes fear that as our fraternity has enlarged her borders and grown venerable with years, we, the children have lost some of the stern integrity and devotion to genuine Masonic Masonic principles which characterized our fathers in the faith. Reverence toward God, purity of heart and lip, truthfulness in word and deed, charity for the weak, and tender compassion for the erring, are among the legends which they emblazoned upon our standard.

Attest: F. M. COHEN, Secretary. PROGRESSIVE ST. HELENA. Ideal School Facilities, Fine Farms, Comfortable Homes and Prosperous Looking Citizens. St. Helena is one of the largest and most progressive islands on the Atlantic coast. It is well populated by our people; only a few whites can be seen. The condition of our people is better here than on any of the other islands. Nearly all of the younger population can read and write and taking everything into consideration, it is astonishing to note that a large percent of the older ones can do the same. Their spirit of thrift is remarkable, and this can be plainly seen by their appearance, the condition of their farms, their homes and tehir churches. The main cause of this may be traced to the early establishment of Penn Normal and Industrial school. This is reputed to be the first educational institution established solely for Negroes in this country. It was established in 1862 by Miss Laura M. Towns and Miss Ellen Murray, who consecrated their lives to the work and the uplift of our people in that locality. The school is well located at Frugniore, one of the large settlements of the island. The buildings are all large and well appointed. The farm is large and is being cultivated along modern lines, thus turning-out practical farmers, and is a model for the older farmers. Besides this im- portant branch other industrial features are taught, such as carpentry, hasketry, plain sewing and cooking. The founders of this school sacrificed their lives for His success and the spirit of the people of the island and their memory is tenderly revered by all the citizens. Adjoining the grounds of the school, and In the nearby the Baptist church nearby the grounds lie at rest with modest markings the place. The school is now under the prin- cipalship of Miss R. B. Cooley, who is beloved by all of the students and patrons. Its enrollment at the last term was 255, with 17 teachers, all of whom are colorless except the principal and the head of the academic department. Prof. J. E. Blanton, a graduate of Hampton, has charge of the farm. He is fully qualified for his work, having had the proper training at Hampton. He is enthusiastic over his work and very optimistic as to the uplift of those who come in contact with the school work. Mr. Blanton is an indefatigable worker, and is busily engaged in keeping the farm in order and preparing for the opening of school. It was, Labor day at St. Helena island, and a large excursion was carried there from this city by the Mutual club. The boat left here Sunday night and after a pleasant ride, arrived at the landing early Monday morning. The day was spent at Frogmore. On leaving the boat for the picnic grounds the first thing seen was the unfurling of a large American flag and the stretching of bunting across the wide roadway, giving a patriotic air to the occasion. The day was made enlivened by the open air concert by the St. Helena brass band, other forms of amusement and the well-patronized flying horse. There were over a thousand people on the grounds, and the scene was indeed an animating one. A large number of teams abounded, and for a reasonable amount rides could be taken in any direction. At this place several colored men are doing good business. The Farmers' Protective association conducts a flourishing merchandising establishment under the management of Mr. S. J. Reynolds, who formerly resided here. Calsholm Brothers and several others are doing well. One of the pleasing features of the day's stay was the unique manner of keeping the unruly ones quiet. An organization, headed by Capt. Alex Brown, who is about the leading citizen of the place does this. Capt. Captain Brown enjoys the confidence and esteem of everybody and is well fixed with this world's goods. Should there be a case requiring the attention of the officers, the accused is dealt with in an effective manner and for that reason but little trouble is experienced. The boat left for Savannah about six o'clock. The returning, trip was about as fine as ever enjoyed. The Mutual club gives two annual trips to this interesting island, and those who desire to behold progressiveness in a black belt should not fail to visit the island. SOCIAL WHIFFS FRFOM LIBERTY COUNTY. On the 9th instant an ice cream banquet was given at the Presbyterian parsonage, Limerick, Ga., by Rev. and Mrs. Primo in honor of Rev. S. H. J. David, B. D., who has been pastor of Ebenezer Church for the past four years, and who has gone to Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tenn., to continue his medical course. Mr. David holds a diploma from a college in London, England, and is a graduate of the theological department of Lincoln University, Pa. He wants to be a medical missionary. The church and his many friends are sorry to part from him, but hope he will return to them. Rev. Mr. Primo, who has been associate pastor to Rev. David, will be solely in charge form the first of October next. Rey. H. H. Harrison of the A. B. Church of Riceboro, left on Monday for New Orleans to attend the National Baptist Convention. The friends of Dr. A. R. Wilson of Thebes, Ga., who has been very ill, will be pleased to learn that he is convalescing. Mr. Charles E. Byrd of Limerick, Ga., who has been visiting friends in Jacksonville, Fla., has returned home. "Plunk," as he is familiarly known by his friends, says Jacksonville is all right, but oh you, home. The Midway Presbyterian Sunday school celebrated their annual picnic on Thursday, September 8th, and a grand concert at night. Both were very large yattended and will be remembered as one of the social successes of the season. Mrs. Rosa B. Barnard and Mrs. Daisy Greene and children of Savannah and Miss Jennie C. Byrd went on an oxobile ride. Master-Bradford Johnson was in charge. The ride would have been very much. enjoyed, but they left before breakfast and forgot to carry lunch, hence did not get back until after supper time. Mr. "Mose" Slacy of Midway, Ga., made a trip to Savannah on business Tuesday, but he is so well known in the city his visits are always combined with pleasure. Mr. Mose Williams of Birmingham, Ala., spent several days in the city the guest of Mr. C. A. Ford of 511 Maple street. Mr. William was here in charge of private car No. 100 of the Birmingham, Southern and Tennessee railroad. He is a "live one" and, being a member of the Elks, the boys kept him on the jump all the time. Mr. Williams was very much enthusiled over Savannah's hospitality, and regretted very much that his stay in the city was so limited. Rey, J. W. H. Holmes, one of the superannuated ministers of the A. M. E. Church, died at his late residence, 510 Charles street, at 11:55 a.m. Monday, September 5. Rey, Holmes has been in falling health for some time. The Sunday-School LESSON TEXT—Matthew. 22:15-22, 34:26. Memory verses 37:39. GOLDEN TEXT—Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God, the things that are God's.—Matt. 22:22. TIME—Tuesday, April 14, A.D. 30. The same day as our last lesson. PLACE—The Court of the Temple in Jerusalem. EXPOSITION—The rulers of the Jews had determined on the death of Jesus (Mark 11:18), and were now seeking some way of ensnaring Jesus into expressing opinions which could be used as an accusation for which he could be convicted in the courts. But by Jesus' answers divine truth was made more clear. The question was asked by a wily combination, of two parties. It was, Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? The Pharisees sent their disciples, learners, students, who would come as those who wanted to learn, and not as the teachers who, being supposed to know, would appear to be merely wanting to entrap Jesus, "A cunning device." These would represent one side of the question, opposed to paying tribute to Caesar. "Fierce opposition was offered to the tribute law . . . . . . which was regarded as an impiety, inasmuch as no Lord could be recognized but God . . . . Others offered opposition to the legality of the tax, while one leader, Judah of Gamala, associated with a Pharisee named Zadok, formed a party to work solely on this line of attack. Then vengeance was sworn against whomsoever should transgress the Mosaic law, and the Zealots were pious assassins who imposed upon themselves the sacred obligation of killing all transgressors of the law." The Herodians were adherents of the Herods, who owed what power they possessed to the Roman government. "They vied with the Sadduces in skepticism, and with the Greeks in licentiousness, pandered to the vice and cruelty of the Herods and truckled to the Romans." These represented the other side of the question, favoring tribute to Caesar, and opposed to the Messianic hopes of the Pharisees. No matter which side Jesus took it seemed impossible for him not to seriously damage us cause. If he decided for either party, the other would be his enemy. He was sailing between Scylla and Charybdis. If he said it was not right to pay taxes, he would be in collision with the whole Roman power, which would regard and treat him as a criminal. His career would be ended. If he said it was lawful for the Jews, the great mass of the people would be against him, and he would lose his hold upon them; for they hated the Roman government, and one of the first and greatest things they expected of the Messiah was deliverance from this subjection to a foreign power. "The taxes were a constant cause of revolt." All we have and are we owe to him; and the only way in which we can make any return is to love him and obey him in love. That is all that is ours to give; to withhold it is unutterably mean. "The best thing in man is love, and God wants the best." Such love not only honors God, but elevates man. Love is the most ennobling act of the soul; and the nobler and higher the object and the more intense the love, so much the more is the one who thus loves ennobled, purified, enlarged, exalted in nature. In him are found all that ought to move the highest affections of men. Have you ever visited Woodlawn Park? If not, you owe it to yourself and to your family to go out and inspect the beautiful residential Park. Already such people as the Rev. Daniel Wright, the Rev. W. M. Gray, Dr. J. Walter Williams and many of the leaders among Savannah's colored citizenship have purchased lots at Woodlawn. Never before in the history of Savannah has such a proposition been offered to the colored people. Woodlawn is a home park. It is a place to live and raise your family. Why pay rent in a miserable house on a two by four lot in the hot and dnsty city, when for less money you can live in your own home on a beautiful lot. ten times the size of a Savannah lot and raise your vegetables and chickens? It is not a question of whether you can afford to buy a Woodlawn lot—it is simply a question of whether you can afford to let such an opportunity get away from you. You can secure free car tickets from Geo. W. Jacobs and Chas. McDowell. Take Isle of Hope car and get off at Woodlawn, just beyond Sandfly. but bore his affliction with Christian fortitude and passed away peacefully in the full triumph of a living faith. of Mr. and Mrs. F.

He was converted at 16 years of age; entered the itinerant ministry in 1876 under Bishop J. P. Campbell and was faithful until the end. A, number of churches have been built and hundreds of souls converted by his efforts in the Georgia Conference. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Belle Holmes, two sons, Mr.-J. E. Holmes of this city and Dr. W. F. Holmes of Florence, S. C., and one daughter, Miss Mamfe E. Holmes, who was the mainstay of her mother in the care of her invalid father. His last words were: "I am now going where sickness and sorrow, pain and death are felt and feared no more." The funeral services were conducted from St. Philip's A. M. E. Church, Rev. R. H. H. Singleton, D. D., pastor, on Wednesday afternoon of last week, 5 o'clock, which were very impressive. The floral designs fro mthe Evangelical Ministers' Union and other friends were beautiful and appropriate. The following ministers acted as pallbearers: Dr. L. A. Townsley, E. D. Glddens, B. S. Hanna, E. B. Brown, R. J. Jefferson and Brother W. W. Love. The body rested in state in the church during the evening and was taken to Walterboro, S. C., for interment; early Thursday morning. May he rest in peace. = ae = ac 3
