VOL. XXVI. COTTON'S NEW HIGH RECORD Short Crop Shown By Government Estimate. MAKES EXCITEMENT IN THE MARKET Publication Of the Report Causes a Sharp Advance, Making New High Records For the Season In New York—Memphis and New Orleans Traders Are Also In a Frenzy, But Liverpool Did Not Take a Bullish View. New York (Special).—The government's annual estimate of the cotton crop was published Friday and caused a very sharp advance in prices of all active deliveries, making new high records for the season in the New York market, with May contracts尝占 15% contracts selling at 15% cents, of 64 points, equal to $3.20 per bale, above the closing figures of the previous day. At this price there was sensationally heavy realizing by bull speculators, but the prospect for an American crop of 11,426,000 bales, excluding linters, seemed to be bringing in buying orders from all directions, and after a quick break from 15.50 to 15.13, May quickly rallied to 15.30 in an active and excited market. There was a big business right up to the last moment, and the market closed firm at a net advance of 37@ 48 points, with May contracts quoted at 15.30, compared with 14.86, the closing price of last night. Prior to the publication of the government estimate the market had been very nervous and for the past week or more there had been more or less heavy liquidation by smaller speculative longs, apprehensive that prices were based on an underestimate of the yield. At one time during the early trading May contracts had sold at 14.80, a decline of about 60 points from the high record of the season established on November 28, when May sold at 15.40. The report, consequently, found the market pretty well liquidated of scattering speculative long interest and there also seemed to be a large number of bullishly disposed operators who had taken profits, and who were brought back into the market by the prospect for a supply which they considered insufficient to meet the normal requirements of the season. The bears maintain that the government must have underestimated the crop. SAFE WITH $15,000 STOLEY. Mysteriously, Disappears From Express Office In the Night. Minneapolis (Special).—Mystery surrounds the disappearance of a small safe, sald' to have contained $15,000 and valuable merchandise, from the office of the Adams Express Company here. Charged With Extortion New York (Special).—Alderman Michael Yolkman and Edward Cruise, son of a former police captain, were held in $2,000 ball in Magistrate O'Connor's court for further examination on charge of extortion. Cruise was arrested on the complaint of a one-legged newspaper vender, David Barisch, who supports a wife and four children. Barisch was told that his permit to sell papers on a certain street corner would be renewed if he paid over $200 graft. The vender told his story to the bureau of licenses and the arrests followed. Cyclone Sweeps Spain. Cerebere, France (Special).—Advices received here state that Western Spain has been swept by a cyclone that razed everything in its path. Several small vessels sank in the harbor-of Corunna and a number of persons were drowned. At Seville the river rose 10 feet, flooding the valley. Several persons were killed and many wounded near Bilboa. Taft's Double Dead. Chicago (Special)—"Big Tom" Currier, deputy United States marshal, who bore a striking resemblance to President Taft, died at his home here, at the age of 64. Currier, who was a familiar figure about the Federal Building for 20 years, stood 6 feet $3\frac{1}{2}$ inches in his stocking feet and weighed 350 pounds. Leaps Into Hot Metal. Barnesville, O.—In sight of 50 fellow-workmen, Charles Kendall, a moulder's helper, leaped into a cupola of white-hot metal at a foundry here. The man's flesh was entirely consumed and only the bones were recovered. Kendall had been separated from his wife for a number of years. The Savannah Tribune. WITH CONGRESS Campaign Expenses Filed. The campaign committees of the Republican and Democratic parties filed their lists of contributions and expenditures for the recent congressional campaign in Congress. The Democratic lists show a total expenditure of $27,771.22. The Republican committee received and expended $74,373.35. The reports indicate that it cost the Democrats about one-third as much to win the election as it cost the Republicans to lose it. The Republican report, filed by Treasurer Charles H. Duell, shows that the committee had $47,030 on hand when the campaign opened. The Democrats received only $3,650 in sums greater than $100, according to Treasurer F. G. Garrett's report. They had $13,258 in the treasury when the campaign opened, and received $27,790, in sums of less than $100. It was noted that the name of neither President Taft nor Colonel Roosevelt appears among the Republican contributors. Omnibus Claims Bill. An omnibus claims bill, carrying a vast aggregation of demands upon the government for money will be called up in the Senate this week for action, according to a statement made by Chairman Burnham (Rep., N.H.), of the Committee of Claims. There are 1,709 claims in the bill, and the total amount asked for is $2,040,946. The claimants represent 38 states and territories, a geographical spread regarded in Senate circles as liable to muster a heavy vote. These claims have ripened in congressional pigeon holes for many years, some of them for generations. The Ballinger Case. The Ballinger-Plinchot reports will not be acted upon by the House Committee on Agriculture, to which they have been referred, until after the Christmas holidays at least and perhaps not at all. Members of this committee cannot see why the report was referred to them. They protest that the reports should have been left on the Speaker's table instead of being referred to any standing committee. Moon Appointed. Representative Moon (Republican, Pennsylvania) was appointed by Speaker Cannon a member of the Committee on Employers' Liability to succeed Representative Denby (Republican, Michigan), who resigned from the committee because of his defeat for the next Congress. HAD NO OPPONENT. Crittenden County, Ark., Had Election Without Competition. Little Rock, Ark. (Special).—An election without competition is considered tame in Crittenden county, Ark. To make the record complete the returns from Crittenden for the recent congressional election was all that was needed, and Secretary of State Ludwig sent an urgent letter to the commissioners of that county insisting that the figures be hurried. In return the country clerk made the announcement that no election was held; that the Democratic nominee had no opposition, and, in effect, that an election under such circumstances was an unnecessary formality. SULTAN DIES IN BATTLE. Flerce Battle Between French and Tribesmen Goes On. Paris (Special)—The Sultan of Massalit and more than 700 of his followers have been slain in fierce fighting between tribesmen and French soldiers in 'the French protectorate in West Africa, according to official advises received from there. Among the dead are several officers. Thirty Senegalese sharpshooters on the side of the French are among the slain. More than 1,000 have been wounded. The fighting is still going on. ROB WIDOW OF $8,000. Porch Climbers Make Good Haul In Detroit. Detroit, Mich. (Special).—Porch climbers entered the residence of Mrs. J. Elizabeth Buhl, widow of Theodore D. Buhl, 1610 Jefferson avenue, while the family were at dinner and escaped with $8,000 worth of jewelry and diamonds. Window Affixed With Hook Hindus Afflicted With Hookworm. San Francisco (Special).—Eleven Hindus out of 13 who arrived here on the Manchurian on Sunday are to be deported under orders issued by Medical Inspector Glover, who declares them to be afflicted with hookworm. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17. 1910. REFORMS URGED BY MACVEAGH Secretary of Treasury Advocates Business Methods. THE KEYNOTE IS RETRENCHMENT. Congress Is Asked For An Appropriation Of $714,414,861 To.Cover All Disbursements Of the Government—Ordinary Receipts Estimated At $680,000,000—Says Our Monetary System Is Panic-Breeding—Customs Frauds. Washington, D. C. (Special).—Economy that beats all records is the keynote of the annual report of Secretary Franklin, MacVeagh, of the Treasury Department, which was sent to Congress Thursday. Other features are currency reform, extension of the scope of the national banking laws, in the event of no immediate general change of the monetary system; civil service retirement, a customs service free from "practical" politics, business-like methods in the daily transactions of the government and a general abolition of red tape wherever it clogs the wheels of the government business. The estimated ordinary expenditures for next year amount to $630,-494,013. Including Panama Canal expenses, $56,920,847, which will be repaid to the Treasury by the sale of bonds, the grand total is $687,414,-860. The total appropriations for this year were $721,313,900. While the Secretary's deport estimates the total expenses of government at $687,414,860, the estimates which have been transmitted to Congress ask for $748,414,861, a difference of $61,000,000. Congress is asked to appropriate this extra $61,000,000 to make the sinking fund law effective. It would be an appropriation to permit the treasury to begin applying one per cent. a year to the discharge of the national debt. The law authorizing such a procedure has been a dead letter for sometime, as Congress has never appropriated any money. The appropriations for the ordinary expenses of the government were, for 1910, $693,313,166; for 1911, $683,458,900. The estimates for the next fiscal year, beginning July 1, are $680,494,013. There are difficulties in the way of making an estimate of next year's receipts, but in the best light available, Secretary- MacVegh places the amount at $680,000;000. These ordinary receipts if realized, will exceed the ordinary disbursements by $49,505,986. But taking also into account the estimates for the Panama Canal, the deficit for the next year will be $7,414,860. USE EACH OTHER AS TARGETS. Boy Killed By Comrade While Play- ing With Rifles. Indianapolis (Special).—In a shooting match in which two boys used each other as targets Albert Perlin, 15 years old, was killed by his playmate, Jesse Osborne, 16 years old. The police accepted Osborne's story of the shooting, but charged him with manslaughter. He was released under bond. Osborne said he and Perlin were playfully shooting as close to each other as they could with rifles just after dusk, and that he was horrified when he saw his companion drop dead with a bullet hole in his forehead. WAS NOT MURDERED. Belief That 'the Aged Recluse Was Robbed First Disproved. Zanesville, O.—Mrs. Minerva Williams, the aged recluse who burned to death in her home, near Caldwell, Noble county, was not robbed and probably not murdered, as it was believed. The finding of a pot melted gold in the ruins of the house disproves the robbery/theory. The gold was found in a pot under where her bed is known to have stood. Mrs. Williams, it was known, kept a large sum of money in her home, the amount being estimated at from $10,000 to $40,000. DECAPITATED BY A TRAIN. Man's Effort To Save Boy In Storm Proves Fatal. Phillipsburg, N. J. (Special).—Harry M. Kern, a tonnage clerk in the Pennsylvania Railroad yard at this place was killed in a peculiar manner. He was on his way to work and was accompanied by a boy. The boy fell in the snow while Kern was a short distance ahead. As he started back to help the boy a freight train came along and he was run down and had his head and one arm out off. Kern was 28 years old. CORN KING OF THE CROPS Secretary of Agriculture Makes Annual Report. Washington, D. C. (Special).—Nothing short of omniscience can grasp the value of farm products of this year, is the statement of the Secretary of Agriculture in his annual report for 1910, just published. At no time in the world's history has a country produced farm products within one year with a value reaching $8,926,000,000, which is the value of the agricultural products of this country for 1910. The value of farm products from 1899 to the present year has been progressive without interruption. If the value of the products of 1899 is placed at 100, the value of this year is 189, or almost double the value for the census year 11 years ago. "During this period of unexamined agricultural production, a period of 12 years, during which the farmers of this country have steadily advanced in prosperity and wealth, and in economic independence, in intelligence, and a knowledge of agriculture, the total value of farm products is $79,000,-000,000." The corn crop of 3,121,381,000 bushels exceeds that of the record year, 1906, and is greater than the average crop of the preceding five years by 14 per cent. While the value of this corn crop is below that of 1909 and also of 1908, its amount belongs to stories of magic. It-can hardly be recognized as less than $1,500,000,000, a sum sufficient to cancel the interest-bearing debt of the United States, buy all of the gold and silver mined in all of the countries of the earth in 1909, and still leave to the farmers a little pocket money. Other Crops In General. The value of the hay crop is about $720,000,000, an amount which has been exceeded but once, and that in 1907; it is 13 per cent. above the average of the preceding five years. The production of spring and winter wheat is $91,767,000 bushels, or substantially the average of the preceding five years, whereas the value is about $625,000,000, or 7.6 per cent. above the five-year average. Easily the fifth crop in point of value is oats, the value of which this year is $380,000 or 12 per cent. above the average of the five preceding years. In quantity the oats crop this year is magnificent. For the second time in the history of this country the oats crop exceeds 1,000,000 bushels, the precise estimate standing at 1,096,396,000 bushels, or 22 per cent. greater than the average of the five preceding years. Next, in order of value is the potato crop, which has been exceeded only in two or three former years. The preliminary estimate of the department is 328,787,000 bushels, or 8 per cent. above the average of the preceding five years. Beet sugar production in 1910 will about equal that of 1909, say 512,000 short tons. Its factory value is reckoned at $51,000,000, and the factory value of cane sugar at about $28,000,000, an amount which has been exceeded in four years. . VON STEUBEN STATUE. Nation's Tribute To Noted German Soldier. Washington, D. C. (Special).—With a great display of military pomp and splendor and amid the enthusiastic demonstrations of immense crowds of spectators the bronze statue of Baron Frederich Wilhelm von Steuben, the Prussian military leader who reorganized the Continental Army after the disastrous winter at Valley Forge, and put it into condition for the successful campaigns that closed the American Revolution, was unveiled Wednesday. The statue completes the quartet of magnificent memorials erected at the four corners of Lafayette Square in honor of the four distinguished foreigners who lent the aid of their military genius to the cause of the American colonies. The others whose memories have been thus honored are Lafayette, Rochambcau and Kosclusko. FATAL FIRE IN HOTEL. A Woman Dead and Daughter Dying In Poughkeepsie. Poughkeepsie, N. Y. (Special). One woman is dead and another fatally burned as the result of a fire which destroyed the Thompson House, a fashionable boarding place. A score of other boarders were forced to flee to the streets in scanty apparel. Mrs. Susan Jenkins, aged 76, and her daughter, Louise, aged 26, were hemmed in by the flames in their room on the fourth floor. Mrs. Jenkins died soon after being taken to the streets by the firemen, while the daughter is dying in the Vassar Hospital. The fire started in the furnace room. FACE LIFE BRAVELY. The secret of quiet confidence in a world that furnishes us with the sight of so many sad things does not lie in shutting our eyes: That is the expedient of the cowardly and the faithless. It lies in looking at things as they are, and letting the sad vision force us back upon the mercy and power of God. If only we have the courage and faith to look into these things that pain the heart and try the spirit and lay rough bands on life's sensitiveness, we shall learn more of the patience and tenderness of God than ever-gladness alone could have taught us; and we shall awaiting us among these things a ministry of help in the offering of which God shall perfect our hearts in the knowledge of himself and the love of the brethren. But again, it is sometimes our own life that we would carry into the twilight. We cannot bear the reproach of our own hearts, we can not gaze steadfastly at the unsightfulness of our own character. We would that the twilight shadow might fall softly upon our self-consciousness, that we might not see ourselves as we are. My friends, if you would know anything of life's lasting quietness, then do not try to carry your heart's sinfulness out of the light of God's face. There are no hours that have richer moral value, no hours that if rightly used will produce a richer harvest of strength and confidence, than those hours of insight into the faultiness and manifold imperfection of our own life, when, as it were, God gives us stereoscopic vision of our own sinfulness. I know they are bitter, shameful hours. One's self-respect is reduced to the vanishing point. At such times we grow sick of ourselves, and may be very despondent about ever building a strong character and fulfilling a pure service. But, I say again, they are among the most precious hours of life, if we find the right solution of them. "The twilight that I desired hath been turned into trembling unto me." The man who shuns the light forfeits his own final peace of heart. He who refuses to face his worst forfeits the possibility of finding his best. He does not solve the question of his sinfulness; he shelves it. It is there, gathering darker meaning and more bitter consequence. Every day twilight and trembling go together. You cannot build the house of peace on the foundation of self-deceit. Darkness hides wrong, but it does not alter it. There is no salvation among the shadows of moral delusion. There is no quietness in uncertainty. There are some who deliberately refuse to look at their own spiritual position—their relation to God the Savior and the kingdom of peace and the promise of life—lest they should find it unsatisfactory. They live their lives in the vague hope, that things will be well with them by-and-by. They do not desire anything more illuminating than the twilight of a hopeful speculation. That is, at the best, but an indefinite postponement of the day of trembling. Perhaps your life has carried you into the twilight. You are not really happy. You have tried the wrong solution of the problem of your own sinfulness. Won't you try the alternative? You know what it is: "Search me, O God, and know my heart, try me and know my thoughts; and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." In all things that touch the soul it is better to see than not to see. Better, to tremble today than tomorrow, for today there is mercy for them that tremble. If a man will consent to face his own heart here and now, with all its depths of foolishness and shadows of passion and sin, he shall have nothing worse to face. The light that shows him the greatness of his sin shall show him also the greatness CURRENT EVENTS.

"If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." So, I say, God help us to face the light that reveals to us the sorrows of humanity and the sins of our own souls; for only so can we ever come to learn that there is a greater word than sorrow, and that word is love. There is comfort for a word of sorrow, and mercy for a word of sin, in the heart of God—P. C. Amsworth, in Southern Ploughman. NOVEL WAY TO AIB RACE. Birmingham, Ala.—(Special.) — Al movement for aiding Negroes inaugurated by W. T. Pettiford of this city, consists of a permanent institution for the regular instruction of the Negroes largely through lectures, in the form of simple talks on the practical topics which are most closely identified with the interest and welfare of Negro laborers. These topics include the sanitation of the homes, proper care of the health, economy and correct expenditure of earnings, industrious habits, and faithfulness at work. There are no charges of any kind for attendance on these talks, and all Negro workmen are at liberty to attend. Four regular instructors are provided from among the most intelligent Negro ministers, physicians, teachers and business men in the community, and lectures are, given four times a week, the number to be increased by other instruction at night as soon as the funds will permit. Besides the work of the institution itself several instructors go through the parts of the industrial district inhabited chiefly by Negroes, collect audiences wherever they can, and deliver practical talks along the lines indicated. Arrangements are being made for the erection of a $20,000 home for the work. This is to be known as the Birmingham Economic institute. The funds for the erection and maintenance of the institution are to be derived from donations made by the leading industrial enterprises and operators of the district. The latter hold that the marked improvement in Negro labor conditions resulting from this system of instruction justifies the cost of maintenance. They regard it as a good investment. In return for the donations, some of which are very generous, employers obtain a much better character of labor; and the plan blids fair to solve the problem in the industrial field which in the last few years has come to be serious.

Flavoury Delicious Economical "The Memory Lingers" Postum Cereal Company, Ltd. Battle Creek, Mich. THE RESURRECTION. Sunday School Lesson for December 18, 1910. (Specially Arranged for this Paper.) LESSON TEXT—Matthew 28:1-20. Memory verse 5, 6. GOLDEN TEXT—"Lo, I am with you, alway even unto the end of the world."—Matt. 28:29. Jesus was in the grave three days, from Friday, April 7, to Sunday, April 9, A.D. 30. The resurrection was early Sunday morning, and was from a tomb in a garden near Calvary. The home of the disciples during the forty days was in Jerusalem. The appearances of Jesus were in the vicinity of Jerusalem, and in Galilee. The ascension was from Mount Olivet. It is hard to conceive of a greater disappointment, or a deeper mental and spiritual gloom than the Egyptian midnight darkness, without a star of hope, which closed, about the disciples when Jesus, their Lord, was dead upon the cross, and every precaution was taken to make certain that he was really, irrevocably dead. The enemies of Jesus guarded against every possibility of mistake as to the reality of his death. This is a very interesting example of the providence' of God. For if Jesus did not die, he could not be raised from the dead. Moreover if the proof that Jesus really died came from his friends, people would question whether they did not in some way deceive. But the enemies of Jesus were very anxious that he should be really dead, in-order that he might never trouble them again. Hence they did everything possible to accomplish their purpose. The soldiers pierced his body with a spear, and blood and water flowed from the wound—a proof of death (John 19:34, 35.) The centurion, who was accustomed to executions, was convinced that he was dead, and so reported to Pilate. The tomb in which he was buried was a new one, in which no one had ever been buried, and so there could be no doubt as to the identity of the body of Christ. At the request of the chief priests, the stone against the door of the sepucher was sealed, and a Roman guard placed around the tomb, so that no one could take away the body and then pretend that Jesus had risen (Matt. 27:62-66). Jesus rose early on Sunday morning. Of the method of circumstances we know only what is stated here. "Behold there was a great earthquake. Early in the morning, before the arrival of the women at the tomb. For the (an) angel of the Lord descended from heaven. A divine messenger, to oversee the guards, and show that Jesus rose and was not taken from the tomb by human power, and that the same body came forth that had been buried. Rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it, as a guard waiting to give the needed information to the disciples. His countenance (his appearance) was, like lightning, in vivid and intense brightness. And his raiment white as snow, This was heavenly apparel, the visible expression of his heavenly nature. It seems that Mary Magdalene first reached the tomb, and seeing the stone rolled from the door, hastened to tell the news of Peter. The others then came, and entering into the tomb "found not the body of the Lord Jesus," (Luke.) It was fitting that the resurrection should occur at the dawning of the day. It was the dawning of the world's day of redemption. Mark adds, "and Peter." For he would be the saddest of all. This message would be a drop of joy in his cup then, as showing Christ's forgiveness. The ascension was the only fitting close of the, earthly life of Jesus. When the disciples had been thoroughly convinced by "many infallible proofs" during forty days, that Jesus was really alive, then he went home to his tarone and to his Father in the only way that would enable them to realize that he was their ever-living Lord and Saviour. The last view of Jesus was not on the cross, but ascending in glory, a living Saviour. The resurrection of Christ is the assurance that the death of the body is not the end of existence. For the soul lives on without this mortal body, but receives a body in the other world, like Christ's glorious body. The resurrection life removes all fears and doubts with the assurance of a continued life hereafter; all we have gained in this life being but a preparation for that eternal life. SNAPSHOTS ON PROHIBITION. For some time past the officers have suspected that boats on the Oostanaula river, in Georgia, were conducting a blind tiger trade. Last week a raid was made which resulted in a number of arrests. Every minister of Jesus Christ, every superintendent and teacher in our Sunday schools, together with every lay member of the church, ought to cry out against the near beer saloons of prohibition Georgia. HOW TO STUFF THE CHRISTMA TURKEY. "New England Stuffing—Remove the hard outside crusts from a small stale loaf of baker's bread," says Fannie Merritt Farmer in Woman's Home Companion. "Cut in slices and toast until delicately browned, then put in chopping-bowl and chop while adding hat water to moisten. Add one-third of a cupful of finely, chopped fat salt pork, one egg well beaten. Salt, pepper and sage to taste. "Fall River Stuffing.—Put giblets in saucipan and cover with one quart of cold water. Place on range and heat gradually until boiling point is reached; then let simmer until giblets are tender. The liver will cook in less time than heart and gizzard, and should be removed as soon as done. Split and spread sixteen common crackers with butter, allowing one-half tablespoonful to each half cracker. Pour over crackers two and three-fourths cupfuls of stock in which giblets were cooked. As soon as crackers have absorbed the stock, add giblets finely chopped and season with salt and pepper, and summer savory sage or marjoram may be added as desired. "Bread-and-Celery Stuffing—Remove hard outside crusts from a stale loaf of baker's bread and break in pieces. There should be three and one-half cupfuls. Pour over bread one cupful of boiling water and let stand twenty minutes, then squeeze out all the water that is possible. To bread add one tablespoonful of poultry seasoning, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of salt and one-fourth of a teaspoonful of pepper, then add three-fourths of a cupful of finely cut celery and one-half cupful of melted butter. "Potato Stuffing—Mix two cupfuls of hot mashed potatoes, two cupfuls of cracker-crumbs, one-third of a cupful each of melted butter and sausage fat and one-half cupful of cooked giblets finely chopped. Moisten with hot water and season with salt., pepper and sage." A LARGE BIBLE. Among other curiosities in the Royal library at Stockholm is a giant Bible. It measures ninety centimeters in length and is about fifty centimeters in breadth—about thirty-five inches by nineteen inches. It requires three men to lift it. There are 309 pages, but seven have been lost. The parchment of which the book is composed required the skins, of 160 asses. There are two columns on each page, and the book contains the Old and New Testaments, with extracts from "Josephus." The initial letters are illuminated. The binding is of oak, 15 centimeters in thickness. The book narrowly escaped destruction by fire in the royal palace of Stockholm in 1679. It was saved, but somewhat damaged by being thrown out a window. TO DETECT COUNTERFEIT. Here are a few simple rules that may be followed to detect counterfeit money: Examine the form and features of all human figures. If graceful and features distinct, examine the drapery. Notice whether the folds lie naturally and observe whether the fine strands of the hair are plain and distinct. Examine the lettering. In a genuine bill it is absolutely perfect. There has never been a counterfeit but what there was some defect in the lettering. Counterfeits rarely, if ever, get the imprint or engraver's name perfect.

Renters often tell us that their reason for not trying to improve the soil is that some avaricious farmer with more greed than judgment will force their removal if they improve too much. A horrible state of affairs. PAINTING THE HIVES. Those of you who hire help for the busy season and then dismiss this help after the money season is over can do a wise thing by keeping such help a month longer for the express purpose of "painting up" everything about the Obviously there is but one thing to do as long as the present system of rent remains in force. Get the land! Own the land! Buy all you can properly farm yourself and all you will need in the future and all you can sell advantageously to the man who has decency, common sense and knowledge enough to farm it properly! It will be a long time before a man can afford in the South to improve the other man's soil as it ought to be improved so that the farmer will get the pay of which he is worthy. There is nothing which makes a man so big as owning the land. A man will work harder, work more, work oftener, work more throughly and hopefully when he is the lord of a few acres than he can ever hope to do when he is not anchored to that which he can call his own; can call home—even if he rents the universe! Let's all make "a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether" to get the land!—Southern Ploughman. MONEY IN MULES. The average farmer is probably not aware of the fact that an average mule sells for $10 a head more than horses. Such is the case, and the price has been gradually rising, for a number of years. There has never been what would be called an overproduction of mules, while the market has often been unable to fully supply the demand.—Farmers' Home Journal. SCOURS IN PIGS. The Minnesota experiment station at St. Anthony park, near St. Paul, has found the cause of scours in little pigs to come largely from over and irregular feeding, together with sudden changes in food. The little pig is greedy and its stomach and intestines are comparatively small. The digestive juices decompose the food and turn it into a milky, soupy condition from which the digested material must be ascimilated, or it must be pushed through the intestines. When an excess of food is given the overplus must be passed along with the indigestible matter in the faeces. The faeces are thin, soft and watery, and the animal is scouring. Scouring pigs are not economical pork producers. Lighter feeding is the remedy rather than drugs. Sudden changes in the ration should be avoided. out the amount of food should be gradually increased from day to day in proportion with the pig's development. ROLLING OATS. Whether it is best to run a roller over oats after sowing will depend on local conditions. If the soil is light and the land dry and level, the rolling will be an advantage. But on hilly land that is inclined to wash, I would never use the roller, for it will inevitably leave loose spots and start gullies.—Progressive Farmer and Gazette. CUT FLOWERS. It is wise to put sand into the bottom of tall vases before slipping the flowers into place. The weight of the sand will prevent the flowers from being top-heavy. ROTATING CROPS. Wheat grown at the Minnesota experiment station continuously on the same plot since 1694 shows an average yield of 18.6 bushels per acre since 1900. Grown in the three-year rotation since 1900, the average yield has been 20.6 bushels per acre. No manure being given the plot, the increase must be charged alone to rotation, the seed and other conditions being substantially the same. In a five-year rotation, with manure well applied, covering the same period, the yield has averaged 26.6 bushels per acre, and the conclusion at the station is that more grain can be grown in three years of rotation than in four years of continuous cropping. TO SERVE CELERY. Remove the threedy outer covering from the stalks and then divide into long slender shreds about the size of a forktine. Place these pieces in ice water and they will curl nicely. This makes an exceedingly dainty way to serve celery. LOCUST BUSHES. To destroy locust bushes, cut them off at the ground and next summer keep them constantly cut off and the roots will die. Grubbing will only increase them. Locust sprouts, persimmon and sassafras sprouts can only be destroyed by not letting them make green leaves above ground. The same is true of any perennial weed, like nut grass, for instance. If never allowed to make green leaves, the roots must die. PAINTING THE HIVES. Those of you who hire help for the busy season and then dismiss this help after the money season is over can do a wise thing by keeping such help a month longer for the express purpose of "painting up" everything about the place from hive to house. There is nothing that freshens up things more than a nice coat of paint. It revives and brightens up everything to which the paint is applied. Besides bringing more "life" into the things painted, the whole surroundings appear to have a renewed life in them, and this in turn has its effect on the bee-keeper and others around and about such surroundings. This is not the only advantage. Things that are well painted and kept well painted naturally last much longer. No use trying to get around that. This is especially true when climatic, atmospheric and other conditions have an unfavorable effect on the unpainted materials, whatever they may be. In our hot climate here, everything is affected by the heat. Wood checks and splits, warps and twists all out of shape unless kept well painted. This is a serious condition when it comes to bee hives, buildings, etc. In a wet locality wood decays; but paint keeps out the moisture. So it pays to "paint up" everything, once a year, at least. Our reason for doing this after the honey season is, first, we can keep the help a little longer for it; and, secondly, everything then goes into the long wet winter season weatherproof.—Louis School, New Braunfels, Tex., in Gleanings in Bee Culture. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. What is regarded by some scientists as the most important agricultural discovery made in half a century was announced recently at the meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. Two of the members who have long been experimenting in soil fertility announced that they had discovered the micro organism which destroys the bacteria whose existence in the soil is essential to its fertility. It is coming to be widely recognized that bacteria in the soil is indispensable to prepare the manure of fertilizer used for the food of plants. Warfare is present everywhere in nature. The beneficial bacteria are the prey of these micro-organisms, it seems, and the fertility or sterility of the soil depends upon which of them are in the ascendant. If this discovery results in practical measures in aid of the beneficial bacteria already present in the soil it may add to the economy of agricultural processes. Farm and Poultry Notes Shear the sheep before their wool gets to be a burden. There is a constantly increasing tendency for city consumers to prefer getting their perishable products like butter and eggs direct from the producer. Plant cannas one to two feet apart, depending altogether if they be dwarf or the tall-growing sort. They like very rich soil and plenty of water during the growing season. A mulch of straw manure will help to conserve the water that is given them. Cut off all the seed pods as they form. Sufficient care is not exercised by many in weaning out the ewes that breed irregularly, and because of this the uniformity in the size of the lamb crop is reduced. As work on the farm crowds, do not neglect the pigs. Salt at the rate of about one ounce per pound of butter. Wool prices are better than ever in the history of the country. The ewe flock is the pearl of great price to the successful sheepman. Good pastures are the basis of successful live stock or dairy farming. There is such a thing as a chicken getting so sick that nothing will cure it. Disease lurks in a filthy, sour swill barrel, and is often the cause of unthrifty pigs. In making new lawns three or four bushels of seed to the acre makes a nice turfy sod. When only a small amount of butter is made, the butter may be worked with a ladle in the churn. Many weeds, besides occupying the ground in place of the grass, are actually injurious to the health of the cattle. Keep the sheep pens clean. Dirt and foul odors affect sheep quickly. Never feed the young pigs on the ground, especially if it is dusty or muddy. No sheep has yet been developed which excels in both mutton and wool production. Sheep must be grown rapidly while young if they are expected to attain a large size. Sell your wool on a rising market. Nine times out of ten you will miss it if you try to keep it for something better. SERMON BY REV. D. J. JENKINS Text: Prov, 30th chapter, 5th and 6th verses: "Every word of God is purp; He is a shield to them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto His words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." remain true coe the sup human shall be Every Oh, my brethren and sisters, when we think of the Bible, when we turn it from side to side and read within its pages, we find therein eternal life. Oh yes, it is the Book of books. It reveals the answer to every thought and is a complete interpreter of any and all problems. It reveals to us the principles of the kingdom of our God. The Bible is the master Book of all other books, because it is written by men divinely inspired, whose hearts have been touched with fire burning from Mt. Sinai's height. Oh yes, every fibre of the men was controlled by the Holy Spirit, and their fingers wrote as God moved upon their hearts. Oh yes, it was the same God who moved upon the hearts of the three Hebrew children in the fiery furnace; the same God who spoke to them when they stood before the enemy at Babylon and against the laws of the Medes and Persians which altereth not. Oh yes, he says I am a shield to those who trust in my name; not only those who trust in my name; not only a shield, but a rock in a weary land and a shelter in the mighty storm. It was the Spirit of God that kept them on the march. It was the Holy Ghost that guided them. Oh yes, when the darkness of all the earth came upon them in their greatest trial, and the rulers thrust into their faces the fact that if they did not bow in submission to the laws of Babylon, the furnace would be heated seven times hotter and their bodies would be dashed into the flames, the Hebrew children replied that they were not careful about what the Babylonians did; they had the saielf of faith about them and the belt of eternal salvation around their waists, and beneath their feet the rock, the truth; upon watch the Church rests. Jesus declared "Upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Oh blessed be God, he meant the Truth; that upon this Truth the church should set. Oh yes, upon this Truth the Hebrew children stood and the furnace was heated seven times hotter than it usually was, and while the rulers of darkness cast the saints of God into the furnace, many of them fainted and died from the heat. When the king heard the news of what had become of the Hebrew children, as he was listening to hear that they were burnt into ashes, the news came "behold king, I see four men walking up and down in the fiery furnace, and the fourth looks like unto the Son of God," walking and singing "I've Been Redeemed." Oh yes, not even their hair was singed. Can't you see them this morning as they walked up and down with smiles on their faces in the flames of the furnace? Can't you see them trusting with the shield of God around them? Hark, I think I hear them singing, "I Am Trusting, Simply Trusting, Trusting Lord in Thee." God moved upon them as He moved upon men divinely inspired to write the Holy Bible, which is a perfect treasure of heavenly instruction. It has God for its author, and salvation for its end. It is filled with truth without any mixture of error. It reveals the principles by which God will judge us in the final resurrection. Oh yes, I fancy I see the sea beginning to give up her dead, and the dead bodies in the grave beginning to rise in that morning, coming up before God. Oh yes, my brethren, the great and the small will be coming up before God. This is the day we are working for, when every secret sin will be made known. Every man must answer for his own sin and there shall Edgar Brown and James Ramsbottom, two boy scouts, have carried a return message from the lord mayor of London to the mayor of Rawtenstall on foot, having accomplished a distance of 440 miles, all told.

Every word of God is pure and He is a shield to every one who puts his trust in Him. Add thou not unto his word, lest he reprove thee and thou be found a liar. My'brefaren, all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for 'correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. If you notice the Scripture is for instruction in righteous, not in wickedness. Let us not get tired, for if God be for us, who can be against us. Every word of God is pure, because God is in his word; it is pure because it is the breath of God; it is pure because it is the riches of the blood of his Son Jesus Christ on the cross; it is pure because God has revealed himself in it; yes, he has revealed his mind, his will in it, and we may know what it may teach us, and that we may rely upon it as sure and, sufficient. There is not the least mixture of falsehood and corruption in the faith of men are heard with jealousy and suspicion; but in God's word there is no ground for suspicion. God's word is as silver purified seven times; therefore we must trust it and venture our souls upon it. In it God has promised a shield of a sure protection to all them that. put themselves under his protection and put their trust in him. The word of God applied by faith will make us easy to admit of the greatest dangers. It is difficult, we must not add to it. In conclusion, every word of God is pure, and if any man add to his word, he will be found a liar, because his words will prove false, and his arguments will fall by the way. Oh yes, my brethren, let us study God's word; let us study his mind and his will, that we may get nearer to him and nearer to the cross for he is able to make us wise unto salvation. He that believeth on the Son shall be saved.—Charleston Messenger. BLACK LABOR ON THE FARMS Booker T. Washington Insists That Negroes Are Ahead of European Laborers. Boston, Mass.—(Special.)—Booker T. Washington insists that the millions of Negroes in America are less backward and not so far down as the poorer classes of skilled laborers in southern Europe. In a speech made in Boston before the American Missionary association he urged that all influence should be used to keep the Negro for the most part in the rural districts, out of contact with the temptations and the complications of city life, until the race can get that experience and that strength, which will enable it to withstand these temptations. He felt that too much money was being spent in the South for the Negro in a haphazard manner. Without any certain aim in view, and he urged greater co-operation and better organization. The lack of farm labor is one of the most serious pullbacks affecting the symmetric industrial growth of the country. It is felt in every part of the Union. It seriously lessens the crop production. If the Negroes will take the advice of their most distinguished fellow-citizen to quit the towns—where they are not needed and where they stagnate and find their quick way to the cemeteries—and go forth to the farms, where they are needed and where better health and more assured prosperity await them; they would do much to untangle the most perplexing problem of this day and generation. Black or very dark eyes denote a capacity for extreme ardor in love. Greenish tints in blue or hazel eyes are the signs of wisdom and courage. Steel-colored eyes usually denote a cold nature, also deceit and treachery. Russet brown eyes, unintended by yellow, mean an affectionate and gentle disposition. Dark blue eyes, while indicating affection and purity, do not represent intellectuality. Variable gray eyes are highly intellectual and indicative of an impulsive and im pressionable temperament.

NEGROES ARE IMMUNE TO ACUTE ALCOHOLISM HOSPITAL AUTHORITIES SAY ONLY WHITES SUBJECT TO DELIRIUM TREMENS. POSSIBILITIES OF A CROSS Doctor Thinks Cross Between Two Races May Produce Being Immune to Common Afflictions. New Orleans, La. — (Special.)—Some very significant and interesting facts have been announced by the famous Charity hospital authorities of New. Orleans during the present week. It has been given out there that the records kept in the hospital show that "Negroes are seldom afflicted with the complaint known as 'Acute alcoholism' and that mulattoes are immune from 'delirium tremens.' "Acute alcoholism" is a complaint that only whites suffer from according to statistics kept at this hospital, and since the physicians and surgeons have been required to note carefully the shade of all Negroes treated in the hospital, it has been discovered that mulattoes are immune from delirium tremens. This discovery has raised a question whether or not a cross between two races may produce a being immune from certain common afflictions. It is held by some that a cross between the whites and Negroes may produce such a being as will be free from these certain afflictions and the mulatto is to be the criterion at the Charity hospital. If the admixture of blood of two races prove to be a prevention of disease common to either race, it will perhaps do away with some of the prejudice against the Negro and in the same measure open the way to a better appreciation of the human nature of the black man by those who have treated him as though he was less the human. "Acute alcoholism" is a complaint that real decent people are ashamed to be known to have, on account of the depravity and degradation which it exacts of its victims. It is gratifying to know that with all his faults the Negro is seldom afflicted with this awful complaint which has given so much pain, grief, and sorrow and distress to the world. It is no less pleasing to learn from such eminent authorities, that mulattoes, who under the law in Louisiana are regarded as Negroes and so treated, are immune from delirium tremens, a condition of body and mind that is so dreadful and that only whites ever get in the danger of. EDUCATING NEGROES IN FRANCE Colored Students Win Prizes For Latin and Greek New York.—(Special.)—The Paris correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce, says, at the distribution of prizes at the Sorbonne, among the colleges belonging to the university, one of the three principal, that of Latin composition, was awarded to a mulatto youth, a native of Hayyt; and the first of Greek composition to another Hayytian, quite black. A Catholic missionary lately sailed from Marstilles for Tripoli and Bengazi, to commense establishments for training blacks as missionaries in the Soudan. He is to be joined by forty of the same color, who have for some time been studying theology at Rome; but these Negroes, probably, are not of the African race that have been carried to the Western hemisphere.—St Louis Advance. ODE OF THE TOILERS. My heart doth bleed.for those who toil in squalid dens and gather spoil For idle bands" that hath to know Another's need, another's woe. It aches for those who night and day Are toiling on for scanty pay; Creating wealth with busy hands, For drones to spend in foreign lands; While those producing all the wealth, In dungeons dark dwell where health And gladness, sunshine, air, Visit not their caves; but grief, despair, And cankering care, and want of bread, Reign supreme in Plenty's stead. It breaks; and burns with deep desire, To sing their woes in songs of fire; Until the tollers cease to be Ignoble slaves; but joyous, free, As birds that flit from tree to tree. The Great Sin.

TWO WORLD FAMED GRANNIES One of These Talented Women Is Sarah Bernhardt and the Other Ellen Terry. Two famous grandmothers are distinguished visitors of this country. Referring to these talented ladies the Rochester Post Express says: "One of the grandmothers is Mme. Sarah Bernhardt; the other is Ellen Terry. Both actresses have reached an age when it is permissible to retire from active life; but the French actress is sald to be as energetic as a woman half her age, while Ellen Terry is declared to be as young as ever she was in the palmy days when she and Henry Irving ruled the theatrical world of England. Miss Terry has retired from the stage so far as acting is concerned, and has taken to lecturing on Shakespeare's heroes. And who could do better than she who has played so many of the womanly women of the great dramatist? Readers of her breezy biography know what she thinks of Portia, Beatrice, Volla, Rossland and other famous women of the tragedies and comedies, but no printed page could charm as does the wonderfully expressive features and the velvet voice of the greatest living English-speaking actress." MARKET Customer (in grocery store)—Are those eggs on that counter fresh? Clerk—Yes, ma'am. Customer—How long have they been laid? Clerk—I laid them there myself, ma'am. 20 minutes ago. Why Kick? Louis Wisna, the Newark artist, wore a gloomy look on his usually cheerful face. "It has just struck me," he said to Charles Strasse, "that my shoes don't cost me as much as my youngster's." "Then what are you complaining about?" asked Strasse. Which Is the Star? "We are thinking of putting an electric sign over the church." "It might be a good idea." "But there are factions. We can't decide whether to feature the minister or the soprano of the choir." EAGER TO WORK The average healthy man or woman is usually eager to be busy at some useful task or employment. But let dyspepsia or indigestion get hold of one, and all endeavor becomes a burden. "A year ago, after recovering from an operation," writes a Michigan lady, "my stomach and nerves began to give me much trouble. "At times my appetite was voracious, but when indulged, indigestion followed. Other times I had no appetite whatever. The food I took did not nourish me and I grew weaker than ever. "I lost interest in everything, and wanted to be alone. I had always had good nerves, but now the merest trifle would upset me and bring on a violent headache. Walking across the room was an effort and prescribed exercise was out of the question. "I had seen Grape-Nuts advertised, but did not believe what I read at the time. At last when it seemed as if I was literally starving, I began to eat Grape-Nuts. "I had not been able to work for a year, but now after two-months on Grape-Nuts I am eager to be at work again.

Sarorpar, Decewser 17, 1910 Only about three more days are allowed for the payment of state and county tax. Our voters es- pecially should beware and attend to this most important affair. The success of our farmers throughout the state is rofed with a great degree of pleasure. This year being a favorable one to them, they should profit from the experiences taught by the non- success of former years, and pre- pare for just such events by hus- banding their earnings, etc. Mr. Carnegie has offered ten millions for peace among the ne- tions of the earth, Would that some one would finance a move- ment to create a spirit of good will among the opposite race in the rural districts of the South toward the colored man. By so doing all will be able to dwell peaceably as neighbors and there will be no complaints for lack of farm help at the harvesting time. The mayoralty race which had bid fair to be a three cornered af- fair between Mayor Tiedeman, Capt. Davant and Mr. Guckenhei- mer, has been reduced to 2 dual contest on account of the refusal of Mr. Guckenheimer to become a candidate for office. The many friends of the latter regret very much his withdrawal for they had Ropes to be able to see their can- didate safely elected, but now that he has declined to run they will watch with interest the contest be- tween the present mayor and his worthy opponent. The Christmas holidays are upon us and the merchants have already begun to feel the welcomed effects of the the holiday crowds. We carry in our columns advertise- ments of firms that are well known and highly recommended and we take this opportunity to appeal to our subscribers to pat- ronize them unstintingly, remem- bering that we never recommend to them anything that is not the best. ‘These firms which advertise with us are the most reputable establishments of their kind in the city and are prepared to offer to their customers the best goods which can be found in the city, at most reasonable figures. The harmonious and business like manner in which the African Methodist Episcopal churches con- ducted their recent conference in Brunswick shows what can be done by our people when they ;work together for one common gause. These meetings in Bruns- wick were among the most suc- cessful which this church has ever held and the various reports given out show that they have made great progress since the last general meetings. Financially, as otherwise, the meetings were a grand success. There wasa grand total of a little more than twelve thousand dollars raised” at the con- ference. All of the various min- isters who had charyges in this’ dis- trict were returned to them by reason of the good work they had done and, by a bit of persuasion gained for Savaringh the next general conference which con- yenes on the 6th of December, 1911. All Savannah feels proud of the return of these gentlemen, ‘for their influence for the good has been such that we could not very well dispense with their ser- vices at present. We welcome them back home and extend to them our hearty and sincere wishes for a successful year. _. The organization of an anti- tuberculosis society at the Sunday Club last Sunday was -the initial step in the crusaie that is to be made in this city against this deadly disease. The necessity for such an organization as this was brought very yividly before the members and friends of the club on last Sunday by the talk of Miss Pendleton, the general secretary of the associated charities. Valuable and instructive were the lessons drawn by this lady in her dis- course and so interested were those who heard her that they went into an immediate organiza- tion upon the conclusion of her talk. Interest in -this society isat its highest point’at present and if it does not ebb at an early date there is a possibility that we may soon have our high death rate due to the ravishing inroads of consumption reduced. Every Negro man and woman in this town is vitally interested in the success of this undertaking and is going to do his utmost to make its success a surety. The Tribune in acknowledgement of the efforts the Sunday Club has put forth in launching this praisworthy move- ments extends its congratulations and pledges its hearty support. in anything that ‘this, organization does for the alleviation of suffer- ing in this direction. * During the past two days there has come to light a report of con: dition of affairs which is causitig no little concern among-the law abiding white citizens of the rural districts surrounding Milner, Ga. and which has created consterna- tion among the Negroes of this section. This state of affairs has been brought about by a series of midnight whippings of Negroes by armed bodies of white men in that sectign which culmingted Ins Wednesday night in the killing of one of the members of one of these bands by 2 Negro whom they had gone to chastise. The deeds of these violators of the law have been rivalling in severity those of the midnight riders of the border states and“have caused many “Negroes to flee this section of the country in fear of their lives. Many inoffensive Negroes hav&fallen victim to_the outrage- ous perpetrations of these cow- ardly bands that go in large num- bers te punish one poor, inoffen- sive, harmless ‘Negro who has by some ways or means incurred the dislike of some members of the gang. ‘These depredations go on from day to day, night to night and yet not one word of protest is raised against them by the author- ities, arid, worse still, no measures are being taken by them to pre- venta reoccurrence of them. On the other hand those in authority seem to turn a deaf ear to them lest by chance one of the marauding bands of whites per- chance meets with death or in- jury. Strange conception of jus- tice is this meted out to our peo- ple and yet we are supposed to be gettine a man’s chance. Opposition to the appointment of Mr. Wm. H. Lewis of Massa- chusetts to assistant attorney of the United States is no more than is to be expected, but it is hoped that the influence of those who oppose this appointment will amount to naught. Mr. Lewis is one of the most accomplished and ablest lawyers we possess and can be well expected to make a good account of himself if appointed to this position. No greater honor can’ be shown oir people than by selecting this gentleman to the position spoken of and in tlie event he is appointed it may be safely predicted that he will make no less conspicuous a showing in this work chan he did while lead- ing the crimson to victory during his sojourn at Harvard University. The manly protection which the jailor of Columbus, Ga., last week gave his Negro prisoner who was accused of assault and was threat- ened of being lynched by a band of white men will long stand as an example of what can be done by a ‘white jailor with the proper spirit. This particular jailor when de- mands were made of him to sur- render his charge flatly refused and when a charge was made upon the jail to take by force the man whom he had in his keeping, open- ed fire upon the mob with the re- sult that‘at least one of the attack- ing crowd was killed and several wounded while he himself was seriously shot. This is the second defense of the kind this jailor has put up since his has been the lot of keeping the criminally inclined citizens of this town and it demon- strates what one determined man can do with a gun if he has cour- age enough to do his duty. It is generally due to the ease with which mobsare able to secure their victims from sheriffs that is re- sponsible for most of the harm that they are ableto do. With one de- termined man like this behind a gun anywhere in this southlapd, protection will be afforded prison- ers and the frenzied actions of mobs will be thwarted. The recent appointment by President Taft of associate justice White of Louisiana to chief justice of the United States, the highest judicial position in the government has created no small degree of comment in political circles. This appointment, were it no-t for the fact the gentleman who has been honored by it is a democrat, and that too one of the old school, would not have occasioned any un- necessary talk, but ,coming as it does at a time when the republi- can ranks are all distorted -and shattered, it seems to carry with it a little more than a display of brondmindedness on the part of tho ‘chief executive. Of course, there is no ofe who would doubt for one moment but that Chief Justice White is as capable as any man the nation of shouldering the eee responsibilities of the office Which he ow holds and for that reason cannot but commend this appointment, yet ther? appears ta go with this political. play on the part of the President u desire to favor the Southland- beyand all other sections of the country. It might appear to some to be a shrewd display of polical diploma- ey, working asa sortof feeler for arepublican invasion but jf it is hoped to win the solid south or any part of it by such*appointments there is an evident lack of know- ledge some where of true condi- tions, for the democrats of the south are going to be as consis- tent in their political views in the future as in the past and will not allow themselves to be drawn into any such political snares as Presi- dent Taft may have been dream- ing of when he made this last ap- wointasent.

It was a merry crowd that paid this visit in the pastor, his wife and children the whole affair was but one more evidence of the enjoyable impression which Rev. Reid has made with his new church and a demonstration of the fact that under his careful and watchful leadership the Second church is going to build and build rapidly until she once more reaches the standing which was hers to enjoy some years back.

LOCKETT, Two years ago you left the earth to go and live in heaven, But I have been sad e'er you've gone, Life has seemed but a dream to me— For when I look and see what two years have left me, Only one to call my own, one for each year; God called His own for rest and peace, Forever out of all care, free from toil. My darling rest on in heaven; Sometimes mama feels your loving spirit hovering round her sad heart, Since we know that the dead can visit the living, I feel that you are sometimes nigh. It is then that I wish you back with me, But then, when I think that God has called but His own, Why wish I you back here in this troublesome world? So now I bow in humble submission and say Lord Thy will be done. Mother, MARY LOCKETT SMALLS. In loving remembrance of OSCEOLA J. LOCKETT, who died Dec. 18, 1903. Yes, it was hard, but still is true The same debt must be paid by me and you, But let us try, when the hour comes, To be waiting happily as true children have done, And when the death angel knocks on our earthly door, Let us be ready to onward go; And if we will trust in God and continue to pray, Perhaps some day we will meet our friend, Osceola Nancy E.

The Importance of Having Your Clothes Tailored To Order. Most men who are doing things in this country today are 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 G. C. CARTER 20-22 W. STATE ST. 5091 WEST BROAD ST.

He is the chronic old grumbler; the unrelenting and unsympathetic critic of everybody and everything; the despicable Mr. “I TOLD YOU SO” of the community. .This gentleman, of self-appointed distinction) may be found in all of our institutions among us and in every walk of life. We find him in our churches, societies, lodges and social clubs. We find him on the streeta and corners flaunting his crimson banner of pessimism and belch- ing forth his much despised doctrine of faultfinding and fallure. In the churches he is the unmerciful critic of both the pastor and of ficers; in the societies, lodges and social clubs, ‘ae delights in maintain- ing hi3 faultfinding propaganda = A pubUc-spirited citizen plansor starts a movement for the common weal. Here, MR. “GROUCHO” finds excellent chance to get in his work. ‘He charges the promoter with sinister motives and uses his (precious 2) time in doing all his power to defeat the movement. By~cross road and billingsgate political methods, he ‘takes the stump” in his endeav- or to convince others that the whole world (Mr. Groucao excepted) is going wrong dnd that nothing good can come out of anything attempt- ed, unless starred by himself. Falling in this, he stands aloof from everything, attempting in the meantime to create the impression that nothing not, worthy of his participation is of any consequence. Ask Mr. “Groucho” concerning his work in the community for the common good and he will reply by saying taat some time ago he started this movement or that movement, but failed to'make it a success, ow: ing to a lack of co-operation on the part of others. HE INVARIABLY ATTRIBUTES HIS FAILURE TO OTHERS. HE LAYS ‘EVERY FAULT AT HIS NEIGHBORS’ DOOR. He prates about his race pride, and yet fails to patronize Negro mer- chants; he discretiits the abllity of Negro bankers to handle his money; he allows no Negro mechanfc3 to do even the odd jobs of repair around his premises. Although he may receive his weekly or montily stipend from the public coffers, hé excuses himself from participation in any worthy cause because as he says ho does not like Air. or Miss So and So, who may be at, the head of the movement. Oh! Mr. Groucho, thou who art the personification of inconsistency, do you not know that your days are numbered? Do you not know that the day is at hand when the community will demand , of you to “come clean?” . 7 You may at present*hold.a position of trust and responsibility. Your waning influence may be still sufficiently strong endugh to command a little attention to your Satanic bickerings. But your fate is sealed. Ere long the steam roller shall have passed over that selfish body of yours, leaving its carcass, as It were, to the vultures of your own cre- ation, “This is your fate. Do you accept it?

Al- most every-day I get a heavy mail, and frequently half the communica. tions are made up largely of clip- pings from the daily press. Persons ‘who, if obliged to do their own writ- ing,, would express some opinion of books, plays, clothes, vacations, clubs and current events, can find some- thing on those very subjects in tie daily paper. So, instead of writing, they simply cut out the article that mects their needs, paste it on .to a sheet of paper, say: ‘These are my sentiments, too,” and thus expedi- tiously conduct their correspondence. “I must confess I am falling into the same pernicious habit. Yester- day I wanted to jolly a friend who has a strong predilection for ghostly lit- erature. I read a paragraph in & pa- rer that exactly expressed my mean- ing, so instead of digging into my own thoughts I sent the clipping. To another friend, whom I wished to interest in a book, I sent another printed article that admirably an- swered the purpose. Since’ every subject can be found adequately treat- ed in the newspaper and on post cards it is no wonder that an accomplished letter writer is now a curiosity.” Representative Hay of Virginia tells a story showing that politeness always pays in the country. The hero of the tale is Ben Davis, the man who defeated President Madison for elec- tion to“the Virginia house of delegates after Madison had left the white house. ¢ Old Davis, who seldom wore a coat, was sitting ona rail fence on the roadside in Greene county one morn- ing when a young man, dressed tn dapper fashion and evidently from the city, passed by. “Good morning,” said Davis, with the proverbial Virginia politeness. To this the stranger paid no atten. tion. In a few minutes, however, he came to a fork in the road and was evidently in doubt which way ho should go. He retraced his steps to ‘where Davis still sat on the fence and asked im with great politeness if he could tell him Which way led to Stanardsville. a “Will you please tell me,” the young man repeated, “which road I take to get to Stanardsville?” “You can,” said Davis stolldly, “take any damn road you please.” AGRICULTURAL AUTIVITIES*IN AFRICA Black People of zambesi Valley Have 7 Always Been Excellent Farmers. . Extensive agricultural operations are carried on in all parts of Africa “In the Zambesi Valley,” Livingstone said, “it was no uncommon sight to see men, women, children hard at work in the field, with the baby lying ‘close by beneath a shady bush." He found.the people in this sectfon rais- ing large crops of sorghum, millet, beans and ground nuts. They also hgd patches of yams, rice, pumpkins, clcumbers, cassava, sweet potatoes, tobacco and hemp, Maise was grown the year round. Cotton was general- ly cultivated. ‘Three varieties were ‘observed, two foreign and one native. Exery family of any importance had a cotton patch carefully cultivated. Bishop McKenzle came into this set- tion of the continent as a fellow mis- sjonary of Livingstone. When the good bishop beheld ‘now well the fields ‘of the Manganja were cultivated, he remarked; “When telling people in England what were my objects in go- ing out to Africa I stated, among oth- er things, that I meant to teach these people agriculture;*but 1 néw see that they know far more about it than 1 do.” .Early travelers in South Africa were aniazed at tae wonderful proofs of industry and the extent of the cul- tivated land surrounding the great towns of the Bechuannas, In 1813 a Mr. Campbell paid a visit to Lithako, the great palace of the Balatpin. As he appreciated the town he passed through extensive corn fields spread- ing on both sides of the road, His Hottentot companions were amazed at tae extent of land under cultivation. COLORED MEN ALWAYS PATRIOTS. Charies F. Meserve, D. Dy Pres. ident of Shaw University Makes Interesting Talk. Bosotn, Mass—(Special.) — Rev. Charles F. Meserve, the president of Shaw university in Raleigh, N. C., spoke in Park Street church at a meeting of the Evangelical alliance His topic was: “The Future of the Colored Man for Good Citizenship.” Although the head of a school with a history of steady progress, Dr. Mes erve did not confine himself to the re- sults of the wise methods and far- reaching results as shown in the suc- cess of its graduates. He cited facts which proved his intimacy with the entire enducational system of the South and in reviewing this broad field, his opinion is that Negroes are always patriots and never Anarchists. They have made progress since their émancipation never before surpassed in tae world’s annaul and when given the advantages of a broad education they are certain to choose only the best. They develop independent thought and are seldom tied to polit- ical bosses, Doctor Meserve said that he and cother white educators have seen the excellent results of teaching Negroes to help themselves. In hearly every Southern state are schools established by blacks’ for their own people. The graduates are never’ satisfied to re- turn to the one-room cabin and inhab- if it. If they cannot build a modern cottage, they proceed to enlarge and improve the old home und in a thou- sand ways show the results of indus- trial training in this practical fash- ion, They are, as a rule, devoted to religious worship and fine churcaes all over the land attest to their generous support, é It is manly and honest to keep the promises, one makes to one’s self.

There are ras- cals among the Negro preachers, just as there are rascals in all other pro- fessions and callings, among all races. We should not too hastily condemn the Negro minister. He has come up through many trials. He has served a people who’ until recent years bave been notoriously too poor to compen- sate him for his services; for twenty- five years, immediately succeeding the war, he was in mauy localities the teacher, lawyer and private secretary of the community in which he lived.

WANTS BLACK ARMY 250,000 FIGHTING MEN IN AFRICAN 7 COLONIES WILL BE TRAINED. WILL PROTECT COLONIES Forming of Army May ,Saye France a Life and Death Struggle With Germafy.-= Paris, France—(Spectal.)—The re- Port of tue mission of which Colonel Mangin is the head states that the scheme for recruiting an army of Ne- gro soldiers in the French possessions in Western Africa promises to be com- pletely successful, and that in Sene- gal and French Nigeria the republic possesses an immense reserve of first class fighting material. Colonel Man- sin is said to have assured -the .gov- ernment that recfuiting is not only possible, but very easy. He has held jong “palaver's” with the chfefs of the various districts and has everywhere received assurances of hearty ‘support. In French Guinea alone the chiefs have undertaken to provide nearly four thousand recruits annually. Colo- nel Mangin states that in four years it will be possible to create an army of about a quarter of 2 million splen- did fighting men in French Africa, and that if necessary this number could be increased almost indefnitely. The raising of this force is of great importance to the French republic. It will in the first place enable Al- seria to be garrisoned with perfectly loyal black troops, and thus provide for the large garrison there to be transferred to Europe in case of ne- cessity, It is not intended that this biack army should ever serve in France itself, but it is easy to con- celve circumstances in which a resort to this might be justifiable. It must be remembered that the total popu- lation of the French empire exceeds taat of the German empire, and that in event of a life-and-death struggle wita her great neighbor France might be glad to avail herself of the enor- mous, reserves of men in her African colonies; to whom fighting Is the only occupation worthy of a man’s atten- tion. The creation of a great native army in French West Africa is an en- terprise worthy of close observation, and one which, in the course of a few years will create a factor that must be taken into account in Euro- pean politics. FIGHTING GRANDFATHER CLAUSE Oklahoma Negroes Have Appealed to the United States Supreme Court.

It provided, however, that no person should be denied thg right to vote if either be or his an- cestors had the right to vote in any form of government on January 1, 1su6. FRANCE MAKES LIBERIA YIELD.

Under thg-caption of “Doctrine of Roform,” the Charleston Messenger writes some sound logic, such as re- quirés leaders of the race to set up and take notice in cities, other thah Cnraleston. The suggestion is worth swhile to be considered by leading men and women in all large cities. The condition beggars description in many cases with young men and wom- ‘en of today. oe “There is no better time than now to preach the doctrine of reform in Charleston.-There are hundreds, but we may add thousands, of hale, hearty, strong men and young women wlio are on the downward road, whose circum- stances are past reciting and wito are absolutely doing nothing but idling away their time, While there are mil- lions of dollars, a gold mine just out- side of the city, The counties of Berkeley and Dorchester are composed of some of the finest lands in the state. Some of it is almost equal to the valley of Arkansas and Texas, just in a stone’s throw of Charleston, and ig.eyery idle man and woman would id go out \% work, there would be }’ Aemarkabis pyement. (fr and around Ladson today there 6 over one hundred bales of cotton in the flelds to be picked. Tae farm- ers are willing to give 75 cents per hundred for picking and cannot get it picked. Peas are rottening, and they cannot get them picked, and many other things on the farm; and here are hundreds of idlers half naked and half starved for want of help, and they are too lazy to leave the city and go to work and dig up HEALTH HINTS.

Milk deteriorates by exposure to the air of pantry, kitchen or nursery. Do not expose uncovered’ milk in a refrig- erator containing food of any kind, not to mention strong-smelling foods like fish, cabliage or onions. An excel- ient way of serving milk on the table, from. the Sanitary standpoint, {fs in the original bottle; at all events pour out only what will be consumed at one meal. _ é Milk consumers should insist on cleanliness in the handling of thelr imulk, If the delivery cans and wag- ons are dirty you cannot expect that the milking utensils will be clean. \\ Any initk showing a sediment is sUxpinions. Particles of dirt are a sign a germs are abundant. The dirt in Mnilk consists mostly of par- ticles of dust, dead skin, manure, and hairs which fall into the pail trom the*body.of the cow during milk- ing; but im the vessels used for hand- ling milk, and unclean attendants are also common sources of dirty sedi ment in milk—Bulletin. Cleanliness and cold are imperative {t one would have good milk, although if it 18 consumed so quickly after pro- duction that the bacteria in it do not haye .time to increase much—say, within two or three hours—the impor- tance of cold is lessened. Milk from the grocery store or bakery, which is kept in a can, open much of the time, ossibly without refrigeration, is dan- Gerous and should be avoided. Do, not forget, as the weather grows colder, that the need for sant- fation is just as great as in the warn. ‘r months. It is the habit of many to close their windows, to keep the cold air out of the bedroom. Leave tae windows open and get out more blankets, Cold air is not barmful, but impure, air is. Too much care cannot be used in peeing that the milk is cold when de- livered, and that it is then immedi- ately put, Into a cool place. If allowed to stand in the warm air, even for a few minutes, the time it will keep sweet is shortened. . Bottled milk is most satisfactory, as each bottle is a measure, and pre- yents over or under measuring, and zach bottle is known to contain all the cream belonging to it. Bottles do not hide the dirt in the milk and save tie milk being unnecessarily ex: posed. Therg should be no trouble in keep- ing milk sweet at a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit from twenty- four to thirty-six hours after it is in the hands of the customer. This can De done af it fs delivered in good condition and properly handled after delivery.- = REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. | A maf isn’t ashamed to be a liar, but he is tobe called one. ‘To a girl romance is most anything that’s prosperous. ~ : You can hunt trouble and find fifty times as much as you want; happt- ‘ness and a hundred times less.

SAVED OLD LADY’S HAIR “My mother used to have a very bad humor on her head which the doctors called an eczema, and for it I had two different doctors. Her head was very sore and her hair nearly all fell out in spite of what they both did. One day her niece came in and they were speaking of how her hair was falling out and the doctors did it no good. She says, ‘Aunt, why don't you try Cuticura Soap and Cutfcura Oint- ment?’ Mother did and they helped her. In six months’ time the itching, burning and scalding of her head was over and her hair began growing. To- day she feels much In debt to Cutl- cura Soap and Ointment for the fine head of hair she has for an old lady of seventy-four. “My*own case was an eczema in my feet. As soon as tha cold weather came my feet would itch and burn and then they would crack open and bleed. Then I thought I would flee to my mother’s friends, Cutfcura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. J did for four or five winters, and now my feet are as smooth as any one’s.

It grew out of aconference of colored farmers that ‘Maj. R. R, Wright called.to meet-at the Georgia Colored Industrial col- lege at Savannah, Ga, ig February of 1900, This conference is held an- nually by the farmers at the college In the meantime President Wright became so interested in the farmers movement that the thought grew upon him that it would be a good idea to interest the farmers as well as the many artisans of the race such,as carpenters, blacksmiths, bricklay- ers, seamstresses, ,milliners, etc., in a great fair where they could put their many products on exhibition and taus stimulate the masses of the race Into better farming, better indusirial work along all lines, ‘When they met in February, 1906, he put the matter of holding a state fair before them they agreed’ with him that it was a bright idea; but felt that the task was a herculean one. Many thought it was too large an un- dertaking; but being actuated by the same spirit and determination whieh he had when in school asa mere boy at Atlanta university, who when asked by General Howard, who had come from the north to visit that institution what should he say to his people when he returned north, replied, “tell them we are rising,”, and with that same dauntlesa spirit assured them that if they would follow him they would pull off a fair that would be a blessing and a credit to the race. After Hearing this eloquent speech from this earnest and determined man,’ Wright, many of them took courage and assured him that he would ‘have their hearty support. He then applied to the Chatham superior court for a charter, which was promptly granted. He then began to or- ganize in every county in the state, and like a great general, he soon had his forces so well marshalled that he soon had more than 800 stock- holders, ‘who had taken stock in the Georgia State Colored Agricultural and Industrial association. Never did ~Napoleon the great undertake a greater task when he“scaled the Alps, than Wright did when he undertook to inter&St and to organize into a living reality more than 1,000 untrain- ed and suspicious Negro men and women into a great fair. How well he has done this the three big fairs which have been successfully pulled off here will tell. ‘The fair held in 1906 was a great wondér to even its staunchest friends, The parade withe the many kinds of floats from a "possum up to the finest kind of needle work, foretold the public what was to come yet. It was like a calm before a great storm. It was a great vestibule before you enter a great mansion. When the fair gates were entered and the doors of the art building and agricultural hall were thrown open, there was a profund silence followed by a surprise and en- thusiasm which broke {nto cheer and admiration, The major and his offi- cials were congratulated: by some of the most prominent whites a3 well as Negroes. It was a revelation, nobody dreamed of such. It makes a distinct epoch in the industrial life of the Negro. The ayerage Negro before that did not know that he could do anything and the white man was surpria- ed at the splendid aggregations of excellent exhibits in the agricultural, art and animal department. All doubts and fears have been removed, and R. R. Wright, the president, who organized this great movement by tire- less labor and toil, was looked uponas the great hero of the hour. At the stockholders’ meeting he was tendered a vote of thanks, everybody was ready for another year, It was voted and carried, and the stockaol- dera adjourned to meet the next year, November, 1907. Since that hour, down to the present time, the Negro has seen himself as never before. His discovery of himself has been like the discovery of the North Pole. Until then he thought he could do nothing, now he has discovered great possibilities, He thought he was a cipher, but now he finds that he is a significant figure, and that he can do things like other people, Thou- sands have gone back home resolved to be better farmers, better carpen- ters, better seamstresses, better milliners, and better citizens. Thousands aye gone back home feeling better toward their white neighbors, be- cause they have discovered that they-are their real friends. Thousands haye gone back resolved and fully determined to make more friends among their neigabors, by reason of the discovery of themselves, through the great colored fair which has been held here for three years. i WINNOWED i WITTICISHS EH ‘The old sailor came along with a ‘ducket of tar. “What are you doing?” asked the seasick passenger feebly. || “Pitching the deck, sor,” responded ‘he salt, with a deep salute. “Pitching the deck?

Among the Masons. ane battle of ballots is going on. in jall the lodges this month. Each lodge is compelled to elect its officers and install same on or before the 27th. We have already recelved returas from a few of the lodges. Do not fail to send in the-returns with correct names and addresses, . The attitudeof the Grand Master against the whiskey habit, eSpecially among Masons, is commendable and should meet a responsive‘ chord in all of the lodges. At this festal season, spiritrous liquors should not be al- lowed in the lodge rooms, in fact not at any time. The brothers, too, must not indulge in the same in or near to their meetings, and in their sever- al communities, they should be the models of temperance. Masonry has no place for the whiskey imbibing man. The best place for him is on the outside, and the officers of lodges ™must see to it that their membership is not blotted by the presence of such ones. It would indeed be a charitable act on the part of the brothers or the lodges to remember in a substantial way the poor orphans at the home in Americus. These children have no one to remember thém during the happy holiday season, and it is left fo us to make their hearts glad. Let us not forget them. Our relief department is in excel- lent condition. Our wortay Brother W. C. Thomas has everything in fine shape. Death claims are paid prompt- My and we have a snug sum on hand for the benefit-of the entire member- ship. We are to be congratulated for our work of the past three years. Brotherly love is the keynote of the highest Masonic character. May its fires burn brigatly in every Masonic heart. Obedience to God fs the first point in the law of our Creator, and to pros- per and grow in grace, we must learn to,obey him.—Star Light, We shall be made truly wise if we be made truly content—contént, too, not only with what we can under- stand, but content wits what we do not understand, the habit of mind which theologians call, and rightly, faith in God. AS our doors are tiled, so Iet our lips be guarded. Slightest incidents of the lodge room are secret. ‘ine brother who does not regard them as such has not yet fully learned Mason- ry. No license can be allowed in this direction. There are two kinds of ‘Masons. One has his Masonry put on in bright water colors, which fades and disap- pears from the view of a stricken or needy brother when put to the test of the rains and storms of adversity; while the other is painted in indelli- ble phosphoric paint, which shines out bright and clear when dark trou- ble dampens the life of a brother, and offsets itself as a beacon to a harbor of safety and comfort.—Selected. “In assuming for Freemasonry an exalted morality and the practice of the most sacred obligations, the rela- tion cf man to man imposes we “do not retiect upon other institutions pro- fessing more. But we do assert that in our great brotherhood—held taut by the invisible chain of love from pole to pole—that good will to man is lived out to a far greater extent than in any other human institution. ’ “Masonry, like all institutions, even the church, cannot be sustained with; out money, and all who are abfe should do their part. If they shirk it they throw an, additional burden upon others, nor ¢o we believe that a brother has bought all the“rights and privileges of Masonry, save Jodge membership, when he pays his Initia- tion fees. He has then simply enter- ed the fraternity, und should be will- ing to sustain it, If this is commer- cialism it is simply anetaer word for duty, and not subject to “the objec- tionable meaning placed upon it."— Jchn H. Barlow, Connecticut, Tt may not be so, but it looks that way to me, that Masons oftimes are derelict in their obligations to brother Masons. I mean by this that as mem- bers of the craft we do not stick as close together as we should, We seem to lose sight of this particular injunc- tion: “More especially a brother Ma- son.” That fs the strongest fraternal tle known to the craft, and we ought to see that its import and impress are in no way weakened by any lack of fulfling our duty one toward an- other. Let us practice the teachings and maintain the bonds of brotnerly attachment in our every day walks of Mife—Masonie Home Journal. — » THE SOCIAL FEATURES. Are the social features of your lodge what they should be? At your next eeting have afew minutes re- zess* Call the lodge from labor to refreshments. Get better acquainted. Talk lodge matters. Exchange views on any subject waether pertaining to the lodge or not. Enquire of every absent brother and ‘ascertain the cause of his absence. Jt may be through sickiiess or neglect, but try and have him present at the next meeting. Make the social part of your lodge one of your crowning fea- tures, and you will soon have an In- creasing attendance. ‘The simple routine of business, making évery transaction purely a business matter, soon becomes uninteresting and the brothers grow cold and indifferent and attendance soon begins to fall off, and who can blame them? “Whenever ou Kill the social featurés of Mason- ry you kill your lodge. This is a fact every brother should, well know. Make your lodge meetings interesting and you will always have a good at- tendance—The Globe. NAPOLEON AS A SCHOOLBOY ‘Had Much Ability, but Never Played/ | With Anyone and Walked Alone. Napoleon brought with him to Autun s somber and pensive char- acter. He never played with anyone tnd ordinarily walked by himself. ‘He had much ability; understood ‘and learned readily. While I was teactling him his lesson he would fix his eyes upon me with his mouth ‘open. If I ‘tried to recapitulate qwhat I had just said he would not Visten to me.’ If I blamed him for this, he would reply with a cold, not to say imperious air, “I know that, sir.” I had him under me for three months. He had by that time Jearned French so as.to make use of fit freel in conversation, and could {write little themes and make little jtranslations, At the end of three months I sent‘him off with a certain Monsieur de Champeaux to the mili- tary school at Brienne. Napoleon’s brother, Joseph, also had much ability, although he took but little interest in study, and knew no French at all when he ar- rived, he learned it very promptly, las well as the beginnings of Latin. (He was as decent and agreeable in jhis manner as his brother was impe- rious. His nature was as sweet, en- igaging and appreciative. He was .fond of his companions and protect- led those whom others annoyed.

Phere have been “witches” in Nor- Ifolk until quite recent times. A an who died in 1883 was’ one of Eres brothers who had ducked an ps woman in a pond because she ad a black cat and wore a black silk dress on Sundays. After a visit to a pulls house they roused, her out of ibed one night and “actually in the jpresence of half a dozen other peo- tiple who had gathered to see the isport, threw her into a hole, where {she would infallibly have _ been arowned but that some who were not {so mad as the rest cried out that she iwas sinking to the bottom and must be saved.” Doctor Jessopp also | vouched for the fact that-a man who }was living and master ‘of an ele- Imentary school in 1882 had believed {himself in the ’60s overlooked by a iwitch, whose blood must be shed to icuye him. So he fell upon the wom- lan and scratched her arms till the blood poured from them.—London IChronitie. 3 HIS ASHES IN ORCHARD, Frank Chambers, a pioneer farm- fer of this county, made a dying te- ‘quest that his ashes be scattered over ‘his orchard, where he had spent 60 imany years. | Mr. Chambers spent the greater part of his time in his orchard, ‘which he had succeeded in bringing fo. a high state of productiveness. ‘Mrs. Harvey Shelpman, his daugh- ‘er, says that his wish will be carried but.—Vancouver correspondence Se- attle Intelligencer. 7 So-called love of money is a misno- mer. < . __Bait oo tne whose Being out of tune with ‘one’s; envi -ronment ts the. worst, kind of discord, J.
