RICHES TO FIND MORE WORLD'S Carnegie Gives $10,000,000 More For Scientific Work. PLEASED WITH SUCCESS OF INSTITUTION Facetiously Objects To Being Interrupted and Asks Scientist Out Of a Room, But Hands Over Big Donation With the Hope That It Will "Interest" Caller Until Carnegie Has Time To See Him—Ironmaster Enjoys Incident. Has Given Nearly $200,000,000. Andrew Cannegie on December 14 established a $10,000,000 fund to encourage world-wide peace. At that time it was estimated that the ironmaster's benefactions aggregated $187,000,000. Among the most notable gifts had been, the following: Carnegie Institution, of Washington, $15,000,000; Carnegie Foundation, $15,000,000; libraries in the United States, $44,500,000; libraries in foreign lands, $10,000,000; Carnegie Institute, Pittsburg, $16,000,000; Scotch universities, $10,000,000; hero funds, $5,000,000; Carnegie, Steel Company employees, $5,000,000, and Dunfermline endowment, $5,000,000. Others were these: Polytechnic schools, Pittsburg, $5,500,000; Peace Temple, at Hague, $1,750,000; Allied Engineers' Societies, $1,500,000; and Bureau of American Republics; $750,000. New York (Special).—The donation of an additional endowment of $10,000,000 to the Carnegie Institution of Washington by Andrew Carnegie, the founder, was announced Friday. This brings Mr. Carnegie's gifts to the institution up to a total of $25,000,000. Coupled with the formal announcement was a Declaration by Mr. Carnegie that the work of the institution had cleared from blame the captain of a British ship who ran his vessel upon the rocks by proving that the British Admiralty charts, by which the captain was guided, were 2 degrees or 3 degrees astray. 60,000 New Worlds Discovered. The discovery of 60,000 new worlds by Professor Hale at the observatory on Mount Wilson, California, also was announced. The observatory was established by the institution, and its operations and discoveries afford Mr. Carnegie more delight, perhaps, than any other workings of the institution. Mr. Carnegie also announced that a far more powerful telescope than man has ever made is now under construction for the Mount Wilson Observatory. With it he hopes to make possible the discovery of still more celestial bodies. In confirming a report of the endowment Mr. Carnegie said: "The report is correct. They had a large endowment before and $10,000,000 makes the total of their endowment $25,000,000, but the institution has already scored successes to justify even that sum. I-believe that the institution in research will pay tenfold in service to the world." WORKED HER FARM AT 93. Oldest Native Resident Of Pittsburgh County, Va., Dead. Dänville, Va. (Special). — Mrs. Judith Coleman Anderson, the oldest native resident of Pittsburgh county, who was born in May, 93 years ago, died at her home near Dänville Friday. She was twice married, but both husbands preceded her to the grave many years ago. Mrs. Anderson lived on her farm, Miss Jane Reld, an aged friend, being her only companion. She was confined to her bed only two days, and up to her recent illness attended to her, own household duties and managed the farm. She leaves no direct descendants. YOUTSEY DENIED PARDON. Governor Willson Believes Him Th Gullity Of Murder Of Goebel. AtronFrankfort, Ky. (Special)—Gover- In Willson has refused a pardon to angry E. Youtsey, convicted of the murder of Governor William Goebel. The Governor says he believes Youtsey is guilty of a cruel murder and therefore refuses to grant the pardon. The Savannah Tribune. LODGE WINS LONG FIGHT Senator From Massachusetts For a Fourth Term. Boston (Special).—Henry Cabot Lodge won the hardest fight in his political career of nearly 30 years Thursday and returns to the United States Senate for a fourth term, with the support of 146 out of 279 members of the Massachusetts Legislature, or six more than the number necessary for a choice in the joint convention. A. H. HENRY CABOT LODGE. U. S. Senator from Massachusetts. Two Democratic Senators, Martin H. F. Curley and Michael J. Murray, left their party to vote for him, but their support was not necessary. Representative James R. McInerney, another Democrat, was in the chamber but did not vote. He did not care to oppose Senator Lodge, because of personal friendship. GATHERING OF THE LEADERS. Harmony Banquet Of the Democrats a Success. Baltimore was the scene Tuesday of the greatest demonstration in the history of the Democratic party since its national convention of 1908 in Denver. It was the Jackson Day National Democratic celebration which began at 1 o'clock in the afternoon with a mass-meeting in the Lyrie and which ended after midnight with the close of the banquet in the Fifth Regiment Armory. The most striking development of the many during the day and night was the inauguration of a movement for holding the Democratic National Convention in Baltimore next year. It marked the passing of Hon. William Jennings Bryan as a Democratic party leader and as a possible fourth-time candidate for the presidency, as far as the sentiment of the speakers—notably, Senator Bailey, of Texas—could relegate him to the rear. Mr. Bryan himself was not present, nor would be indite a letter to be read at the gathering. Still another striking development was the expression of a decided preference for-Governor Judson Harmon, of Ohio, as the Democratic candidate for president next year. At 1 o'clock the doors of the Lytic swung open and the waiting crowd rushed in. The first sight in the lobbles which greeted the throng were the posts urging female suffrage. The Lyric was beautifully decorated. American flags were in evidence. Gen. Murray Vandiver, chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, called the meeting to order and introduced Gov. Austin L. Crothers, who presided. The speakers were: GOV. JUDSON HARMON, of Ohio, SENATOR JOSEPH W. BAILEY, of Texas. HON. CHAMP CLARK, of Missouri, prospective Speaker of the House of Representatives. The tenor of all the speeches was that as a result of the November election the Democratic party had been placed on probation; that the people would watch its course with great care, and that it must live up to its promises to win continued support. BESCUE 155 CHILDREN Firemen Drag Little Ones Out Of Beds and Down Ladders. Binghamton, N. Y. (Special). Fire in the basement of the main building of the Susquehanna Valley Home imperiled the lives of 155 children and the 18 attendants and officers of the institution, and but for the bravery of the teachers, the firemen and, in instances, the children themselves, grave loss of life must have resulted. Train Hits Cow; 30 Hurt. Fort Smith, Ark. (Special).—Thirty persons were injured, four probably fatally, between Hartford, Ark., and Monroe, Okla., when a Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific passenger train struck a cow. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1911. PAUL MORTON DIES SUDDENLY Stricken With Hemorrhage in New York Hotel. President Of The Equitable Life Assurance Society Had Been Suffering With a Fatal Illness, But He Did Not Know His Life Was In Danger—Was Secretary Of the Navy Under Roosevelt — Wife Reaches Side After Death—Was An Authority On Railroads. Life Sketched In Brief. Born in Detroit, Mich, May 22, 1857. Taken to Nebraska City when six month old Became assistant general freight agent on the Burlington at 21. Promoted to general passenger and general freight agent. Engaged in the coal and iron business in 1890. Vice-president of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company and president of the Whitebread Fuel Company, 1890 to 1896. Became third vice-president of the Sante Fe in 1896. Was made second vice-president of the Sante Fe in 1898. Appointed Secretary of the Navy in 1904. Resigned to become president of the Metropolitan Street Railway in 1905. Elected president of the Equitable Life Assurance Company in 1905. New York (Special).—Paul Morton, president of, the Equitable Life Assurance Society and Secretary of the Navy under Theodore Roosevelt, died of a cerebral hemorrhage in the Hotel Seymour here Thursday night. His wife and his elder brother, Joy, were at his side 15 minutes after he was stricken, but he never regained consciousness and at 6.45 o'clock, an hour after he was stricken, he died. There will be no autopsy. Mr. Morton himself had no idea that his life was in danger, but his family, his physicians and a few close friends knew that his condition was precarious and that if he did not take care of himself grave results would follow. Joy A. Morton gave a full account of his brother's ill health and sudden death. "Paul and I took luncheon together at noon," he said. "I had just come on here from Chicago, and Paul met me at the station. We went to the Equitable building together, where, at Paul's request, I attended a meeting of the board of directors at which he presided. Then we had luncheon together in the building, and sat together talking until perhaps 2.30 o'clock. "I had other business and so had he. 'See you at the house at 6 or a little before,' I said, and we parted. I never saw him alive again." Mr. Morton was to have started on a vacation trip to Europe February 22. Coroner's Physician O'Hanlon said that from the antecedent history and the symptoms there was no doubt in his mind that death was due to arterial sclerosis, a hardening of the walls of the arteries, terminating in a cerebral lesion. The death was reported to the coroner's office in the usual stereotyped form. Few, if any, of the directors of the Equitable had news of the death until they were informed by the newspapers. E. W. Bloomingdale, Robert De Forest and Frank S. Witherbee, the last named also of the executive committee, were all deeply shocked. Denounces the Press. Columbia, S. C. (Special).—Weak from illness, Coleman Livingston Blease, of Newberry, was Inaugurated Governor Tuesday. Lieutenant-Governor Charles A. Smith, of Timmonsville, was also sworn in. Governor Blease devoted nearly half of his inaugural address to a denunciation of the press. Kalser Kicks Against Tax. Berlin (Special).-The Reichstag debated, the second reading of the government's unearned increment tax bill Friday and adopted an amendment subjecting the German sovereign houses to the tax. The government is strongly opposed to this innovation in German constitutionalism. CLARK IS NAMED SPEAKER Also Gets Ovation as Presidential Candidate. Washington, D. C. (Special.)—Representative Champ Clark, of Missouri, the Democratic leader of the House and receptive candidate for the Democratic nomination for the presidency, was nominated by acclamation Thursday night for Speaker of the House in the Sixty-second Congress. This, with the selection of a committee on ways and means to make an early preparation of tariff legislation for submission to Congress immediately upon the beginning of the next session in December, when the House becomes Democratic, was one of the features of a caucus of the Democrats—the old and new members—of the next Congress held in the hall of the House at the capitol. A. H. Representative Oscar W. Underwood, of Alabama, was unanimously nominated for chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. His name was proposed by Representative Champ Clark. The caucus adopted the Foster resolution clothing the Ways and Means Committee with the power of naming the standing committees of the House, subject to caucus ratification. A great ovation was given Champ Clark when Mr. Wilson, of Pennsylvania, in a speech declared that he would gladly vote for Clark for president. About 210 Democrats were present. Mr. Hay, of Virginia, presided, and Mr. Ashbrook, of Ohio, was secretary. ATLANTA JOURNAL INDICTED. Said To Have Violated Postal Laws In Mailing Sample Copies. Atlanta, Ga. (Special).On the charge that sample copies of the seml-weekly Atlanta Journal were mailed on several days in 1908 as though they were copies for subscribers, a Federal grand jury Wednesday indicted the Atlanta Journal Company, James R. Gray, president of the company, and John D. Simmons, C. H. Babb and V. P. Harper, employees. The indictment in no way involves the daily or the Sunday Journal. The amount involved is said to be $700 postage charges. $c$ STEEL HEAD GETS $50,000. Salary Of Farrell Only Half That Of Schwab and Corey. New York (Special.)—Although Charles M. Schwab and William F. Corey, as president of the United States Steel Corporation, received $100,000 a year, James A. Farrell, the new president, will receive only $50,000. The Finance Committee of the corporation is empowered to fix salaries, and Mr. Farrell's salary has been placed at just one-half of what his predecessors received. Money Put In Right Place. Washington, D. C. (Special).—President Taft received a telegram informing him that San Francisco had raised $75,000 for the American Red Cross. He has replied to William W. Morrow, chairman of the endowment fund, as follows: "I congratulate you on the contribution to Red Cross from San Francisco of $75,000. It is putting money in the right place." $2,000,000 For Naval Base. Washington, D. C. (Special).—A $2,000,000 appropriation for the new naval home at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, including not exceeding $300,000 for a naval hospital, of which $75,000 is immediately appropriated, was agreed upon for inclusion in the naval appropriation bill by the House Committee on Naval 'SHOULD CONSULT WITH NEURO. Opinions of Negroes Should Be Obtained in Handling the Race One of the leading white men of the South, in outlining three factors which he thought should be considered in dealing with the race problem, named the Negro himself as one of them. His idea was that the Negro ought to be brought more and more into consultation on matters touching his own welfare. This spirit is growing in the South. It has had several concrete manifestations in Virginia within the last five years. Another indication of the broad liberal spirit of the young Southern white man towards the Negro is shown in his willingness to engage in work which has for its primary aim Negro uplift and advancement. Some of our best educated and most resourceful Southern white men are engaged in educational efforts which deal exclusively with Negro education. The Negro is better understood. His strivings, ambitions and economic and moral condition are viewed with a clearer perspective and in truer proportion. The spirit in favor of better educational advantages for the Negro in the South is growing. There are hundreds of white men who want the Negro to have better school houses, longer terms, better teachers, better sanitary conditions, and adequate equipments. Some of these speak out boldly in the interest of Negro educational betterment; others work in a quiet way to the same end. The spirit of toleration is further shown by the young Southern white man's interest in the material advancement of the Negro. He wants the Negro to become an economic factor in the community where he lives. In most of the speeches to Negro audiences the idea of home getting, thrift and wise investment is emphasized. J. M. Gandy, in the Southern Workman. Race Progress As Reported by National Negro Business League. Mrs. Maggie Hast is a successful milliner of St. Paul, Minnesota. Work on the hundred thousand dollar Y. M. C. A. building at Washington, D. C., has been resumed and the structure is to be pushed to completion. C. H. Baldwin, a wealthy white capitalist of Dayton, Ohio, has recently established in that city factories where Negroes are employed in which are manufactured carpets, overalls and brooms. There is also a laundry with the very latest improved machinery. Those who are employed live in houses built by Mr. Baldwin. These houses are altered or contracted to suit the ideas of the tenants. Mr. Baldwin is not dispensing charity, but simply giving Negroes an opportunity. Mr. Henry A. Loveless of Montgomery, Ala., is one of the most successful undertakers in the state. Governor-Hadley of Missouri has recently appointed an important Tuberculosis Commission. The object of the Commission is to find out just what the sanitary conditions are among the Negroes. The commissioners are Dr. T. W. Coston, Jefferson City; Dr. J. E. Perry, Kansas City; Dr. W. S. Carrion, St. Joseph; C. P. Covington, Louisiana; Mrs. Nevada Kenner and Dr. George S. Jackson of St Louis. The Wage-earners' Loan and Investment Company of Savannah, Ga., the first Negro Saving Bank opened in Georgia is one of the successful banking institutions of that state. The officers of the bank are L. E. Williams, president; W. R. Fields, vice-president, and Walter S. Scott, secretary and treasurer. Messrs. Claude Jackson and Adrian Cotton are successful photographers hog which after it was dressed tipped the scales of six hundred forty pounds and a small one that when dressed weighed one hundred ninety-eight pounds. Mr. Copeland is not troubled about the high price of meat or wheather or not the Chicago packers are going to quit business. A recent report of the Adjutant General of the Army pays a high tribute to-the reliballity of the colored soldier. His report shows that from two and one-half to three times as many white soldiers desert as colored soldiers. The desertion rate of our colored troops compares favorably with the low rate of the British army. NO.19. WILL EXTEND Y. M. C. A. TO THE COLORED RACE CHICAGO MAN OFFERS A LARGE SUM TO ERECT BUILDING FOR COLORED YOUTHS. J. ROSENWALD THE DONOR $25,000 For Every City That Will Raise $75,000 for Y. M. C. A. Building for Negroes. Chicago.—(Special.)—A move to extend the scope of the Young Men's Christian association to Negroes was begun here with an offer by Julius Rosenwald, head of a big commercial house, to give $25,000 to every city in the United States which will raise $75,000 to be spent for a Y. M. C. A. building for Negroea. The offer is good for five years and the only stipulation is that the entire sum must be spent for land, building and furnishings of the institution. The offer was made at a meeting at which plans were completed for building a Young Men's Christian association building for Chicago Negroes and came after Mr. Rosenwald gave $25,000 for the building. It is, according to Y. M. C. A. officials here, the first move of the association to aid in a solution of the race problem. "It seems to me that both in the interests of the Negroes and of the country, it is essential there should be in every community having large numbers of Negores, a building primarily for men and boys," said Mr. Rosenwald. "They have not; yet in their own ranks a sufficient number of persons whose means would enable them to establish and equip such a building and it is, in my judgment, the duty of the white people to aid in supplying this need." L. W. Messer, general secretary of the Chicago association, is placed in charge of awards and he is empowered to deliver the $25,000 to any community as soon as $50,000 of the sum named is raised. N. W. Harris, head of a banking house, also contributed $5,000 for a Negro association building here. An organization of 250 Negroes was formed which will begin soon the task of raising at least $50,000 to be added to the sum to be spent in the erection of a building in the Negro section of this city. "BLACK MAMMY" MEMORIAL. Splendid Meeting of the Association Was Held in Athens, Georgia Athens, Ga.—(Special.)—A meeting of the trustees of the "Black Mammy Memorial association" was held in the office of the mayor of this city. Plans were discussed and decided upon in regard to the building of the school buildings and the equipment of this institution, which is to train the colored boys and girls of the state in industrial work, the unique feature being the training of the girls in cooking and general housework, teaching them to do the kind that made the "old black mammy of to de wah" famous throughout the South. Among the out-of-town trustees the most prominent is ex-Mayor Robert F. Maddox of Atlanta, who has taken great interest in the formulating of plans and the establishment of the school. SNAPSHOTS ON PROHIBITION. In Ireland there were, 5,519 less drunks in 1909 than in 1908. Scotland shows little demand for hops. The hop fields of Washington are being turned into small fruit or chards as rapidly as possible. It makes no difference what laws may be made to stop the sale of intoxicating liquors, the brewers will not observe them nor try to enforce them. In order to get such laws-enforced we must put the liquor forces out of business. The platform of the Republicans of Idaho favors a resubmission of the constitutional amendment at the next general election. From the reports now in it can be seen that the taxable property of Kansas has increased $1,000,000,000' during the last ten years. A CREED FOR THE DISCOURAGED I believe that the trials which beset me today are but the tests by which my character is strengthened and made worthy to enjoy the higher things of life. I believe that I am the architect of my own fate, therefore I will not yield to discouragements; I will trample them under foot and make them serve as stepping stones to success. I will conquer my obstacles and turn them into opportunities. "Our Negro Congressmen, Who They Were and Their Worth," was the subject of the essays that were read at Bethel A. M. E. church, Chicago, before the Bethel Library society. The meeting was largely attended, and there was much interest manifested. Mr. B. W. Fitts, president of the society, presided and a musical program was given. The first speaker was Mrs. S. D. Porter of Olivet church. Her essay was well received, and her records were excellent. Miss Mary Anderson was the second lady to appear on the program. Mr. W. E. Johnson of Bethel church read a good paper and James A. Scott closed. All the papers were interesting and showed research. Nine judges were appointed to pass on the merits of the essays. They were as follows: Miss Mary J. Anderson of Quinn chapel won the diamond ring or the best prize among the ladies and Mr. James A. Scott won the best prize for the man, which was a gold signet ring. Miss Anderson's essay is as follows: At the close of the Civil war the civil and political condition both of the emancipated slave and the Southerner was little short of chaos. Few of our keenest statesmen could make an intelligent forecast of the future of either race in the Southland. It was the logical result of a terrific and bloody war, between two sections of a house divided against itself on the question of slavery. It left the newly emancipated race in a partial state of freedom, but entirely without the means of protecting itself. A people who had just shaken off their chains, without education, without experience in self-government, were generally looked upon as, wholly incapable of exercising the most ordinary rights of citizenship. But the wisdom of our wisest statesmen who were true and tried friends of the emancipated slave dictated that these newly made citizens should at once be clothed and armed with the ballot, as the best means of protecting themselves in their new condition. In the meantime a great many colored men and women of the North, of education and culture, had answered the "Macedonian cry of the new citizen, 'Come over and help us.'" This influx of Northern material added to the number of brainy men and women of the South, who in time of slavery had improved every opportunity of self-education, made it possible to secure able representatives of the race for the responsible position on national legislators. During the ascendancy of the Republican party in the decade between 1865-75 we had nearly a score of able representatives of colored men in the halls of congress. To think that even the enemies of the colored people will concede that the most poorly qualified of our representatives in congress was not a disgrace in point of general fitness for legislative work, to either race in this country. Congress even today has many a member of the Anglo-Saxon race whose qualifications are far below the average Negro congressman of the reconstruction period. The first representative of the Negro race to become a member of congress was Rev. Hirman Revels, who was sent to the United States senate by the Mississippi legislature. Hirman Revels was one of the bright lights of the African Methodist church and was amply able to represent both races of his state. He is spoken of by those who watched and studied his career in the United States' senate as a cred- HERALD BLASTS. "I shall not want," is always the song of the soul in which there is no doubt. Whoever gives his body to be burned, and has not love, throws away his ashes. No greater mistake can be made than to make the accumulation of riches the first business of life. The lantern that only shines when the sun shines will never be of any service to those who are lost. Unless we say "Our Father" in our money getting, we cannot worship God by saying it in church. Without consistent Christian life to back up the preacher, there is no use in ringing the church bell. The preacher who puts thought into his sermons, will, sooner or later, find himself preaching to people who think. Suppose there are hypocrites in the church, does that make your sinning any safer? The man who loves sin is a sinner, no matter how much he pays for a pew in church. It hurts more to live a day without prayer than without bread. Begin every day with this thought: What happens today will be what God sees is best. The Christian never has to count his cash to find out how much he has to be thankful for. A cold church will soon begin to warm up when God's fire is burning in the preacher's heart. 'Isn't there a strong touch of hypocrisy in thankking God for the bread and finding fault, with the cook? -Home Herald. itable member of that distinguished body. The state of Mississippi sent another senator to Washington in the person of Blanche K. Bruce. Senator Bruce had been, a student at Oberlin college, Ohio, and enjoyed other educational advantages. In the early part of his career in the senate, he so demeaned himself as to win the personal friendship of Senator Roscoe Corklin, then serving the state of New York in the senate. This recognition of Senator Bruce by Senator Coklin seemed at once to elevate Senator Bruce in the esteem of all his fellow senators, which fact made him a very useful member of this august body. The last representative of the colored race in the United States senate was Senator Pinchback from Louisiana, whose membership in that body was brief because he was appointed to fill the unexpired term of his predecessor. Senator Pinchback was a man of some education and was a remarkable and forceful figure in Louisiana politics for many years. Probably the most brainy and able representative of our race who ever graced a seat in either the lower or the upper house, was Robert Brown Elliott, from South Carolina, a member of the lower house. Congressman Elliott was an able lawyer, a profound scholar and easily worked his way to the front rank making a lasting reputation in his speeches on legal proposition and other matters of general legislation in the house of representatives. He was an orator and a forceful debater, and came to be recognized by able critics as the ablest Negro who ever entered congress. He certainly left in his brilliant career a rich legacy to his race The state of Virginia sent to the lower house of congress another able and scholarly representative in the person of Prof. John Mercer Langton. He was a graduate of Oberlin college, a lawyer of ability and orator of great power. His career in the house was highly creditable to the race and to the country. This sketch would by no means be complete without special mention of the political career of the Hon. John R. Lynch, who served for many years the state of Mississippi as a member of the lower house of congress. Lync. was a good speaker, of some education, a self-made man and an indefatigable worker. He exerted a large measure of influence in congress and out. He was a familiar and a remarkably active member of many national Republican conventions. He is at present paymaster in the regular army. The history of the Negro race could not be trutfully written without special mention of the Hon. John R. Lynch. The state of Alabama sent to-Wash ington as a member of the lower house the Hon. James Rapier, who was educated in the Canadian schools, and was a business man of rare ability, as a humorist and wit he had few equals. During his short career in the house of representatives he made a highly creditable record. His usefulness to the race and the nation is of a high order. There were many other colored congressmen. Among them White, Rivers and our fellow townman, Murray, who made their mark and proved their usefulness to the nation and the race. Those men wrought wiser than they knew. Their presence and conduct in the halls of congress of this nation so awakened the nation to the fact of what was in this race of ours, lying dormant power, and that at once we would soon become such a potent factor that we could not be Be Calm. After all; we merely trod In a path of discontent Wrong, heedless of the God That loves, for all betterment. Weak mortals, then are we As uncertain as the clouds; Beling so, we fall to see The danger it often enshrouds. We group onward, the way Slowly plodding, treading here; Hoping for a brighter day With doubt dread and fear. Then why such hopeless dreams? Why hope and then repine The sun in golden beams Will always glow and shine. It is only faith we lack, The courage that is lost; It but needs calling back— Back from the withering frost. We are chilled in mind, Feverish in our nervous haste Forgetting, irresquile, all blind, In that blindness find waste. —W. W. Rhea, in Illinois Chronicle. Modern Version.

They identified themselves with all of the legislation in the interest of the Negro proposed at the time of their membership and also with the legislation in the interest of the people at large. What was their worth to the nation? 1—They demonstrated to the world the Negro's capability as a lawmaker. 2—They proved to the friends of freedom and equality that no mistake was made in giving the Negro the rights of citizenship. 3—As the Negro soldier in the Civil war fought bravely for his country, so the Negro congressmen by voice and vote in the hills at Washington stood by the government in all its trials. As senators and representatives in the Congress of the United States, they made for themselves and their race an enduring place in history. The speeches they made in congress in discharge of their duties, at the most critical period in the life of the nation, will remain and should remain as beacon lights to future generations, and a priceless heritage to all men who honor and esteem the faithful public servant. 1 regret that the limitation of the number of words forbids that I should make further mention of these distinguished representatives who deserve unique places in "our hall of ram."—Illinois Chronicle The Decanter. There was an old decan- ter, and its mouth was gaping wide; the rosy wine had ebbed away and left its crys- tal side; and the wind went humming, humming— up and down the sides it flew. and through the reed-like, hollow neck the wildest notes it blew, I placed it in the window, where the blast was blowing free, and fancied that its pale mouth sang the queerest strains to me. "They tell me—puny conquerors!—the Plague has slain his ten and War his hundred thousands of the very best of men; but I"—twas thus the bottle spoke—"but I have conquered more than all your famous conquerors, so feared and famed of yore. Then come, ye youths and maidens, come drink, from out my cup, the beverage that dulls the brain and burns the spirit up; that puts to shame the conquerors that slay their scores below; for this has deluged millions with the lava tide of woe. Though in the path of battle darkest waves of blood may roll; yet while I killed the body, I have damned the very soul. The cholera, the sword, such ruin never wrought as I, in mirth or malice, on the innocent have brought And still I breathe upon them, and they shrink before my breath; and year by year my thousands tread the dismal road to death. PEARLS OF THOUGHT. One swallow may not make a summer, but it certainly warms a fellow up. The Lord loveth a cheerful giver. He ought to. The breed is scarce enough. Some men can't even discharge a duty without making a noise like an explosion. About one man in a thousand is blessed with the ability to let well enough alone. The minute a man is in a position to live comfortably he isn't satisfied to live that way. As for the newly rich, many a woman has a boudour who doesn't know how to pronounce it. The troubles we can always bear with admirable fortitude are the troubles of other people. By the time a man is ready to wear fame's laurel wreath his head is so big that it no longer fits. When the devil feels the need of a good, hearty laugh he goes to a cemetery and reads the tombstone inscriptions. In the matter of charity, many a man is always ready to put his hand in his pocket—and keep it there. The fact that a good beginning sometimes makes a bad ending influences some people never to begin. Some women make a fetish of their powder puffs, while others stick to their clubs. Getting attuned to the noises of some neighborhoods is harder than playing a nocturne in G sharp. People lose a lot of valuable time wondering if 'thus is so when it wouldn't profit them to know. "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?" "The young lady was painting—sunset red, with blue streaks and green dots. The old rustic, at a respectful distance, was watching. "Ah," said the female artist, looking up suddenly and pretending she hadn't known he was there all the time. Perhaps he to, too, nature has opened her sky-pictures page by page. Have you seen the lambent flame of dawn leaping across the livid east, the red-stained, sulphurous islets floating in the lakes of fire in the West, the ragged clouds at midnight, black as a raven's wing, blotting out the shuddering moon."

Little Things Worth Knowing The prisoners at the Columbus, U., penitentiary are to put on a minstrel show and vaudeville production, which from the present outlook is to surpass any like production seen on the penitentiary stage. The prisoners have gone into the work with a will, and they are going to show the officials that they can put on a better outside. Only prisoners are to take part in the production, the state managing and everything else being done by them. W. H. Tribou of Hampton, Me., who last spring planted seven hills of peanuts as an experiment has dug them up and found from 22 to 28 nuts on each plant. Mr. Tribou thinks that when the nuts are dried they will be of good flavor. Many Norwegian families from the cities spend two months out of each summer in the mountains or along the picturesque fords. Portable colleges are a feature of this outdoor life. Mrs. Rose Terry of Cadallac, Maine, has gone to Kalaiah Falls, Ore., to take entire charge of a large electric lighting plant.

"The higher you are the safer you are in cross-country flying," says Mr. Drevel, who never feels comfortable flying across country in England at a height of under eight hundred feet. When Mr. Ardele flew homeward from Bournemouth he lost his way in the air through oil flying from his motor into his face and forming a film over his eyes without his being aware of the fact at the time. He imagined himself in a dense mist until he bathed his face in hot water, and so cleared his eyes. What the theater really needs is a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Audiences. Why are we supposed to have more respect for gray hairs than for a bald head? A man can face the world with a good heart if he can also face it with a good liver. From a masculine point of view would it be heresy to question the sex of the devil? Some fat men are meaner than other men simply because there is more of them. Many a man who thinks he is in love lives to discover that second thoughts are best. Some men are born great, some acquire greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them, but it doesn't seem to take any of them long to get rid of it. The Modest Model The late Julia Ward Howe, though a woman of very good appearance, was extremely modest. "She once posed for me," said a Boston painter the other day. "But she hesitated a long time before consenting. To urge her on I said: "Don't be afraid, I will do you justice, madam." "Ah, she answered, 'it isn't justice I ask for at your hands; it's mercy.'" Not Just Off the Shelf. Little Marget has the childist trait of curiosity, especially in regard to the age of her elders.

"Owing to some disagreement with magazine several years ago they have become quite vituperative, and of late have publicly charged me with falsehoods in my statements that we have genuine testimonial letters. "It has been our rule to refrain from publishing the names either of laymen or physicians who have written to us in a complimentary way, and we have declined to accede to the demand of attorneys that we turn these letters over to them. "I am asking a few men whom I deem to be friends to permit me to reproduce some of their letters over their signatures in order to refute the falsehoods. "We have hundreds of letters from physicians, but I esteem the one that you wrote to me in 1906 among the very best, particularly in view of the fact that it recognizes the work I have been trying to do partly through the little book, 'The Road to Wellville.' "I do not sell or attempt to sell the higher thought which is more important than the kind of food, but I have taken considerable pains to extend to humanity such facts as may have come to me on this subject. "In order that your mind may be refreshed I am herewith enclosing a copy of your good letter, also a copy of the little book, and if you will give me the privilege of printing this over your signature I will accompany the printing with an explanation as to why you permitted its use in publication in order to refute falsehoods, and under that method of treatment I feel, so far as I know, there would be no breach of the code of ethics.

My Dear Sir: "I write to express my personal appreciation of one of your business methods, that of accompanying each package of your Grape-Nuts production with that little booklet "The Road to Wellville," A more appropriate, clear headed and effective presentation of health-giving auto-suggestions could scarcely be penned. "Grape-Nuts is a good food in itself, but the food contained in this little article is still better stuff. I commend the practice because I know that the greed and strenuousness, the consequent graft and other types of thevery and malicious mischief generally can never be cured by legislative action.

OF INTEREST TO OUR WOMEN cS ee || OF INT 3, OUR * TINS? PRINGIPLES IN THE LAUNDRY. Irons must be muca hotter fo: starched pieces than for flannels. Fo these they must barely hiss under the touch of a moistened finger. A few of the essentials to the iron ing table, besides the table itself and the irons, are an iron-stand, an iron holder with an asbestos lining, a bit of beeswax tied up in a piece of cheese cloth, a bowl of warm water with 0 spenge or a piece of soft linen with which may be dampened scallops and edgings which have become too dry to iron well, a plece of paper folded with soveral thicknesses on which to test the heat of the fron and to wipe any black smireh from it. Take your clothes from the line as socn as possible after they are dry. ‘They are likely to become too stiff if left out longer than necessary. De especially careful to bring starch- ed clotives in as soon as they are dry When it is cold, the freezing takes out the stiffness, and when the weather is damp the clothes become limp. Fruit-stains on linen may be remov- ed by pouring boiling water through them, Stretch the spotted part over a bowl and pour the boiling water on the stain, It may be necessary to re- peat the treatment several times In ‘order to remove the stains entirely. ‘Tea atd coffee stains may be_eradi- ated by tae same method. The soon- er they are taken out the better. Wine stains may also be.removea by the het water applied in the same manner. * In dampening. clothes for ironing, use eitaher a whisk or ong of the reg- ular clothes sprinters whfeh are made for this ~pecial purpose and have the water in it hot or at least very warm, Sprinkle one piece at a vime, spreading it out smooth be- fore sprinkling, 2ud roll up tigatly.— Christine Terhune Herrick, in Wom- an’s Heme Companion. USE OF VELVET. Velvet is* used in tujs season's smodes in ways that would have been called odd a few sears ago. Even white lingerie dresses have borders of yelvct, applied like deep hems, and the’ vetvet is used for revers on the gowns. Ancther striking combination Is to use velvet with the English eyelet em- broidery oa white Tinen or cambric. This embroidery is sometimes made up over black silk and bordered witn black velvet. Sometimes the velvet is the foundation and the embroidery is used as a sort of tunic. Waile black just now 1s tue most popular, the colored velvets seem to be rapidly gaining favor with the fasn- ionable, and they, too, have their vbare in the sudden popularity of the fabric. LEATHER COLLAR SETS. Leather collar and cuffs sets -on tailor-made sults are, of course, not very new; but they are neing revived in the sudden return of leather, and are seen frequentiy in black patent Jeather on tweed or covert suits of brown blue and gray. Sometimes, too, they, are in waite; one such was worn with a white serge coat, cut in empire style and disclosing a very smart red and white striped waistcoat “beneath, TO SPRINKLE TABLE LINEN, Use, a large salt shaker and into the water put a little ccld starch—a tablespoonful in a quart of water. ‘The Jinen will look like new, having only & slight stiffness, FASHION NOTES.

Beef and lamb shoul never be overcooked, rather a tris rare; chicken, nowerer, should always be well cooked. ‘Milk. ‘This ‘must continue the stad by. quart a day 13 nok too much. JI not perfectly digested, in its unimodal fied state, It may be prepared in the following way: To six ounces of milk add one ounce of cream’ and three ounces of water. Eggs; One soft-boiled, coddied or poached egg may be given every day, ‘but it is often wiser to give every oth- er day, especially before the age of five years. Eggs are a very valuable form of food, and it 1s unfortunate to create in children a dislike for them, and tis frequently happens when they are used every day for long periods. ‘Broths. These are valuable’as stim, ulating foods. They are made more nutritious by the additfon of cream or mille and when thickened by arrow- Foot of corn-starch. Cereals, always well cooked, may be eaten twice a day, morning and even- ing. Oatmeal, wheat cereals, nominy, corn-meal mush, fariaa, etc., give op- portunity for pleasant variation. Cream or rich milk, but little, if any, sugar should be eaten with these. Cardy, in small quantities, of un- doubted purity, may sometimes take tne place of dessert, or a lump er two of sugar may be allowed at the close of a meal, dinner preferably, even when a simple dessert nas been inclided—Jean Willlams, M. D, ip Woman's Home Companfon. . WASHING LINEN. The best way to wash a skirt of tan. colored linen is to plungé it into wa- ter in which a handful or two of hay has been boiled. When the skirt has been washed in the prepared water—which shoud be only wamp, not hot, when used with good white soap—it must de thoroughly rinsed and hung in the air to dry, If a little stiffening and gloss are desired two tablespoonfuls of starch should be added to the rinse water, and the skirt snould be ironed while damp. | TO SOFTEN WATER. - Hard water can be easily softened for toilet purposes if’a musin bag containing fine oatmeal be squeezed out in the water before using. Fresh oatmeal jsaould be used every day. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS Having several pairs of shoes and never wearing the same pair more than one or two days at a time will rest the leather and make it last bet. ter. Chamols leather should be washed, | when necessary, in soapsuds, and rips ed in soapsuds—not in clean water. Treated thus it will keep its original softness. ‘ Any dish that bas held dough, milk, cream or eggs should be rinsed in cold water before being placed in hot wa- ter, as hot water tends to cook such things and make them more difficult to remove. 7 Small glasses filled with jelly will prove to be very acceptable gifts.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS ARE HOW IN CPERATION cme sts conv Washtigton.—(Spectal,) —Stlident: of financial and economic condition: predict that the postal saving bank: ‘which will soon be itiausurated In the péstoffices throughout tae United States will prove a greater blesslig proportionately speaking, to she color ed people than to any other clasa of people in the United States. ‘This prediction is based upon the fact that the economic statu’ of the masses of the colored people makes them peculiarly the beneficiaries of the opportunitiés for thrift and econ: omy afforded by these banks, Postmaster General Hitchcock is confident that through these banks the habit of saving will be cultivated more than ever among the colored people just as well as it will be among other classes of people for whom the opera- tion of these banks will_moan so much, He {s anxious that the colored people take advantage of the financial oppor- tunities which will come with this new opportunity, = Under the plan devised by tae post- /master general and his assistants, in compliance with the law, savings can be begun in sums as small as 10 cents and format accaunts can be opened in sums as small as $1. This small amount feature will prove popular to the masses of our people, for many of them are not able to make large de- posifs, but will gladly lay aside the small emounts that they can spare from their living expenses. Any person from the little boy or gitl of ten to the man or woman weighted down with many years can have an account in onc of taese postal savings banks, and, what Is most im- portant, Uncle Sam absolutely guar- antees the depositors against loss. If the person wishing to open a de- posit has a dollar or more ho simply goes to the postoffice, turns his money over to the postmaster and receives in liew thereof a certificate of deposit for the amount deposited. The de positer draws mterest at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum. He alo has the rigat to draw out a part of all of his money whenever he pleases, If, howeveh, you have not.as much as a dollar to open a formal account you can for 10 cents purchase from the postmaster! a postal savings card, which will have a’ten-cent postal sav ing stamp in {ts center. Then from time to time the owner of the card can purchase other ten-cent postal sav- ings stamps, whica have mitcllage on one side Ike ordinary postage stamps and stick them on the white card. When the owner of the card bas stuck ten of these stamps on his or her card it is then turned into the postmaster, who will give in return 2 certiteate of deposit for $1. Other adiitions to your account can be made in the same way. As aforesald, tie depositors draw 2 per cent, interest on their money, have the right to with- draw the money out of the bank at willsand are guarantecd against loss by the United States, ‘After having saved up $40 thé de- positor, if be or she desires, can ex- change inis deposit for a United States pond.

Hatcher was “in trouble.” This phrase suggested only one meaning to the Negroes there, for it did not occur to them that fr. Hatcher, who is nor mally a strong, healthy man, was ill; they thought it referred to financial stralts, ‘Taere was a consultation down op the farm, and out of the conference came action, One day Mr. Hatcher's family were surprised to see quite a delegation of country Negroes ap Proaca the house, They entered the yard respectfully, a half-dozen or so in number, walked around the house, entered the rear door,: and sald, through thelr spokesman, that they wanted to see “the ole marster.” The wish was communicated to Mr.’ Hatch- er, who, though ill, told them to enter the sick room, and they filed through the door. 3 ‘Mr. Hatcher was touched to see the “boys” from the farm; for he supposed their visit was purely for the purpose of paying their respects. The spokes- man, Alex Williams, said rather awk- wardly, that they had heard he vas in “trouble,” and not knowing just waat the trouble was had called to see if they could ‘be of any help. Then Williams drew out a hundred dollars in bills, and tendered it-to, him, and the other proffered various things, ranging all the way from money to a chicken, and other farm products. Williams said that he had seven bales of cotton in front of his house and ae would gladly sell tt and turn the money ayer té Mr. Hatcher if he need- od it. Mr. Hatcher was eo touched by the incident that the tears flowed down nis face.

The police raid of night before last on one of the many pool rooms on West Broad street resulting in the arrest of a score or more Negroes should meet with the approval of every self respecting citizen in Savannah. These places are among the lowest dives in the city and are on the whole, being run by men who have little or no regard for the welfare of the city, but see in this form of business a wonderful opportunity to get rich quick. They therefore allow every and anything to go on within their places of business so long as there is an extra piece of money in sight and as a consequence games of many different kinds, some of which have no identity with the pool room business, are carried on. They are places of rendezvous for the idle and shiftless and very often the objective points of boys, who have but recently reached their teens, where they mingle with men steeped in the world of vice and sin and are gradually led astray only to grow worthless and a disgrace to humanity. These places are a menace to society and are by no means contributing to the welfare of our city. They not only need careful watching by the city authorities, but it would be a God out if they were entirely put out of existence. The message of Mayor Tiedman, while a most praiseworthy document in general, would have been much more to the liking of the Negro portion of the city's population had it contained among its many recommendations one advising the erection of a new school building for Negro children. Of course this may have been an oversight on the part of our esteemed mayor, or perhaps he is unaware of the fact that there are between three and four thousand Negro children who have been crowded out of the city schools and are crying for an opportunity to find school accommodations somewhere. But whether an oversight or a matter of ignorance, the fact remains only too clearly that there is a sad lack of school facilities for our Negro boys and girls, and on account of not being able to get places in the city schools, they are for the most part running wild in the streets, while their parents are out laboring hard to make ends meet. It is a serious question with us, in fact it is the all-absorbing one at this juncture of our growth and we should like to see something done soon to relieve this condition of affairs. It is from the boys and girls that we expect to get able men and women who will measure up to every requirement and yet how can we hope to see our youths compete successfully with those of other races if they are denied proper school training. It is a shame, a disgrace and immeasurably unfair for us to have to pack our children, like sardines in a box, into the three and a fraction schools which we have while ten beautiful structures adorn the streets of the city for the education of little white boys and girls whose numerical strength is proportionately the same as that of Negro children. It is a very poor comparison of the distribution of educational funds and it might be made to look a little better by the addition of one new school building to the dilapidated a. unsanitary ones we now possess. Dr. J. H. King. The church and community suffered a serious loss in the departure from our midst of Dr. J. H. King one month ago, for his new field of operation in Albany, Ga. Dr. King's life was an active and useful one white in our city. He was actively engaged in the religious and charitable work of this city and could be depended on to take a part in every movement for the betterment of our community. He has, for a number of years, served on the Board of Trustees of St. Philips A. M. E. Church, West Broad and Charles streets, and so signal has been his service on the board, that at the last election held on the 17th inst., he was re-elected as a member of the board for another year, though absent. The citizens of Savannah wish him a hearty God-speed and a welcome in his new home. Evangelical Ministers Union. The Evangelical Ministers Union met with Dr. P. W. Greatheart, D. D., presiding. Devotional service was conducted by Dr. R. H. Singleton. The chairman, Dr. Greatheart made a timely address to the Union touching some very important features. The committee on program made their report. Jan. 31st subject, "The evil of dancing" by Rev. E. D. Giddens. Feb. 7th, "Jacob as a prophet" by Rev. J. S. Jenkins, Feb. 14th, Feb. 21st, "Ministers in politics" by P. E., B. S. Hannah. Feb. 25th, sermonic report. Sermonic report was given by the president, Dr. P. W. Greatheart. The president announced the death of the Rt. Rev. Abraham Grant, D. D. of the 5th Episcopal district of the M. E. Church, Kansas City, Kan. Motion that a committee be appointed to draw up a resolution touching the death of Bishop Grant, was carried. Come out, next Tuesday. OLD BRYAN'S CELEBRATION Observed Last Week. Our one hundred and twenty third anniversary was one of the most successful ever witnessed in the history of the church. The church was handsomely decorated with vines and white roses. The middle arch was surmounted by a pure white dove with outstretched wings as if waiting to carry the message of peace, love, and unity that reigns in the church. A white banner with 123 anniversary in gold letters hung just over the door. Too much praise cannot be given Mrs. T. B. Lee and her able committee for their excellent work which showed that they spared neither time, pains, nor money. On Monday night an excellent prayer meeting was led by Deacons A. Philpot and C. Roberson. The lesson Ps. 33:1-17 was read by Rev. McD. Spencer of Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Prayer by Rev. Jack Thomas. Mrs. Lula Wicks Allen told about "Mission work" in her excellent paper. Rev. Spencer was introduced by Rev. Wright and responded most heartily. His text was from Heb. 12:2-3. The subject was "A contest for eternal Life." The sermon was evidently enjoyed by all.

Miller, Lesson Matt. 28:1-20 by Rev. Chas. Wright. Prayer by Rev. H. Smith. Rev. D. Daughry was introduced by Rev. D. Wright, his response was touching and joyful.

Mrs. Emma Swanging Chance sang a very sweet solo, "Tis the great salvation morn." "Amazing Grace" was led by Rev. Wright, he next introduced Rev. Frazier of Little Zion Baptist Church on Harris, and East Broad streets. He led the old time piece "Old time religion." His text was from Luke 11:23, subject, "Jesus teaching His Disciples." His introduction was fine, he being related to some of the pioneers of our church was able to tell us many things of interest. The sermon was excellent. "Amazing Sight" was led by Rev. Wright, prayer by Rev. Chas. Wright. On Friday night, prayer meeting led by Deacons H. Green and Black, hymn 35 by Rev. Haywood, lesson Ps. 65 by Rev. Haywood also. Thanksgiving prayer by Rev. H. Williams of Union Baptist Church, Charles street. History read by Rev. J. M. Simms who is the historian and wrote the book many years ago. He was at his best and read so interesting that all enjoyed it. Mrs. R. E. Wright read an excellent and historical paper on "Prosperity of the church." Very sweetly and distinctly did Mrs. R. E. Stevens sing the solo, "Have courage my boy to say No." Rev. Wright then introduced Rev. Wm. Gray, pastor of St. John Baptist Church. He responded heartily. Rev. Gray is a son of Bryan and said he felt highly honored to be selected to preach the 123 anniversary sermon. His text was from Zach. 4:7, subject, "God's promises to His church." He told us so many good things that all felt happy. Indeed we are justly proud of him. Prayer by Rev. Chas Wright. Rev. D. Wright read a telegram from a co-worker wishing him much success in this anniversary. Rev. C. H. Young the state missionary was introduced and asked to speak. He said he was present by accident not knowing what was going on until he arrived at the church. He made an elegant impromptu speech. We are grateful to Rev. Haywood's choir who furnished the music that night. Sunday morning early prayer meeting led by deacons. At 11 o'clock the lesson was from St. John 14:1-14. Prayer by Rev. Hill. Rev. David Morchison a son of Bryan and pastor of St. Peters' Church at Dittensville was introduced by Rev. Wright. He responded heartily. His text was from St. John 14:1, subject, "Ignorant of Christ."

A very historical and interesting paper on "Children and the Sunday School" read by Miss Anna Maxwell. The officers and teachers of the Sunday school and the ushers were very impressively installed by Rev. J. M. Simms. Rev. Wright then got ready for baptism. At communion the church was crowded. At night there was an excellent song service by the B. Y. P. until 8:30 o'clock. Rev. Wright read for the lesson St. John 1:1-13. A very valuable and interesting paper on "The value of the Ministry" was read by Mrs. J. C. Woodruff. Rev. Wright introduced Rev. Andrew Johnson, pastor of Fairlawn Church. His response was very cordial. His text was from II Tim. 4,2, subject "Preach the word." Rev. Johnson having come along in the days of yore was able to give us an excellent historical sermon compounded with good religion which made us all happy. "That awful day will surely come" was led by Rev. Wright. On Monday night prayer meeting led by Deacons Marsh and Wickes, lesson Ps.23 by Rev. Simms. Mrs. Bessie E.

So vividly did he paint the picture of the fight between David and Goliath. Rev. Wright led the hymn "Amazing Grace." Rev. Townsley prayed a soul-stirring prayer. Our hearts are overflowing with praise and gratitude to all who assisted us in any way. With Mrs. E. R. Dennis as organist and Mrs. J. C. Woodruff as chorister the choir was at its best and rendered some of the sweetest music that we have ever heard. Deacon Foster our "father," (as he is familiarly known) did all that he could to keep the church warm and in order. We feel very grateful to Deacon Roberson for the very sweet tunes he furnished whenever the congregation was asked to sing. We could not fail to speak of Bro. Small who sings some of the sweetest jubilee pieces that we have ever heard. Do not forget the installation of Rev. D. Wright on Sunday as pastor of the Nicholsonville Baptist Church. Last but not least came the banquet which was grand. IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE. Interesting Services in The Churches of the City. F. A. B. Church 123rd Anniversary Celebration. Beautiful flowers, vines and green moss bedecked the lovely frescoed walls of the First African Baptist Church the entire of last week, in the celebration of its 123rd anniversary which ended Sunday last. The artistic decorations which formed an arch over the pulpit, in front of which was suspended a white dove as though descending from Heaven, was indeed picturesque and presented imposing beauty. Tuesday night, January 17, the Georgia State Industrial College made the grand opening. The Devotional service on this night was conducted by Rev. P. M. Hunter, deacons T. R. Williams, Robt. Holzendorf and Jos. Marks. Wednesday night the devotional service was led by deacons B. H. Maxwell, J. H. Sanders and Chas. Matthew, Rev. J. B. Miller preached a reviving sermon. Thursday night devotional service was led by deacons Lee Gilmore, J. A. Snyder and Wm. H. Ward. Rev. R. Kemp, D. D. of Charleston, S. C., preached an arousing sermon.

F. attended in a body dressed in the regalia of their orders, and presented a picturesque scene. Rev. R. Kemp, D. D., of Charleston, S. C., preached the Anniversary Sermon from St. Matthew, 16:17-18.

At 11 o'clock Rev. R. Kemp preached a powerful sermon from St. John 12:31-32, subject "The Power of God Exhibited in the Preaching of the Cross." Sunday night an overwhelming crowd was out. The 100th Psalms was read for Scripture reading. As previously announced, Rev. Kemp preached a special sermon as requested from Ezekiel 37:1-2-3-4-5 and took for his subject, "The Great Deliverance of Israel, Under the Life of Dry Bones." Many beautiful illustrations were produced from his text and sermon and was acknowledged by many who claimed to have heard the text preached many times, as productive of deeper thoughts. The First African Baptist Church and the thousands of visitors that attended the celebration feasted high on rich gospel truths expounded by the eloquent and eminent Dr. Kemp in his sermons. With but one exception, considering the illness of the pastor who was unable to be present during the celebration, but sent a very feeling letter to his flock. The celebration marked one of the most interesting occasions from every point of view in the history of the church. Many thanks to the friends and institutions that assisted in making possible the rendition of a program creditable to the historic church and its celebration. Tomorrow night has been set apart for a special rally to raise money to erect the Southville Prayer House recently destroyed by fire. Bring an extra piece of money to that service for this purpose. The pastor, officers and members extend much thanks to Rev. Dan Wright for so ably funeralizing the remains of two of our members last week while our pastor was ill. The pastor is convalescing and hopes to be out soon. St. Phillips Dots. St. Philips Dots. A large attendance was out at the eleven o'clock service on last Sunday morning, Rev. Singleton's Text was St. John 12:3-6. subject, "Love's Offering."

Singleton also preached at 8 p.m. The members of St. Philip have been called upon to mourn the loss from their midst of Bro. Frank J. Hilton. Bro. Hilton was an old member of St. Philips. He was also leader of class 21. A large concourse of friends attended his funeral from St. Philip at 4 p.m. on last Sunday. Mrs. Emma Panamour was buried from St. Philip at 1:30 p.m. on last Sunday.

On Lee's birthday, in the presence of the priests of St. Benedict's Church, the architect's and the contractor's ground was broken for the building of a new school on 38th and Harden streets. Since then the foundations have been laid and the walls are slowly rising from the ground. St. Mary's School will be a fine brick building with four large school rooms and a hall. When complete it will be a pretty structure and a real boon for the colored children in the surrounding districts. Last Sunday a very large congregation attended the evening service and listened with attention and devotion to the beautiful sermon preached by Right Rev. Bishop Kieley. The Bishop, vested in his pretty purple robes spoke like a father to his children with simple but convincing eloquence. After the service, despite the late hour, the Bishop expressed the wish to pay a last visit to the oldest and most faithful member of the church, Mr. Theodore Mitchell, who is very ill at the residence of his daughter. The Bishop's visit was certainly a happy surprise for the old man in his illness. Memoriam. who departed this life Jan. 31st, 1908. Tenderly nursed and anxiously watched but all in vain. After five months of patient suffering his spirit passed from earth; his winged soul has crossed the dark river and the angelic spirit beckons from the other shore, the remaining members of earth's now broken family circle. Loving hands laid his precious form to rest in the hope and anticipation of a glorious resurrection morn. A precious one from us has gone A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. God in His wisdom has recalled The boon His love once given, And though is body resteth here His soul his safe in heaven. Yet again we hope to meet him When the day of life is fled, Then in heaven with joy to greet him Where no farewell tear is shed. Loving sister, Missie Bristo. Pastor of Mt. Zion, A. M. E. Church, Garnett, S. C. In loving remembrance of our dear pastor, F. P. CRUM. who departed this life Jan. 20, 1910, at Garnett, S. C. How happy every child of grace Who knows his sins forgiven, This earth he cries is not my place, I seek my place in heaven. A country far from mortal sight Yet O by faith I see, The land of rest, the saint delight, The heaven prepared for him. Oh what a blessed hope is his To know his home is in heaven. His member. Savannah, Ga., Jan. 15, 1911. To the Pastor, Officers and Members of Second Baptist church, Greetings: We, your committee appointed to draft resolutions on the death of Brother Alexander McHardy as a member of the church, do hereby submit the following: Whereas it has pleased God in His allwise providence to suffer the tragic and sudden death of our beloved and esteemed brother, Deacon Alexander McHardy, and while we deeply deplore his death, especially the manner in which it came, yet we know that God doeth all things well and that he has only been called from labor to reward. And since He suffered it to be so, we do accept, in humble submission, His will. Therefore be it resolved; first, that in the death of brother McHardy the church has lost a faithful, loyal and true hearted Christian, a friend and counselor, one who was deeply interested in the welfare of his church. He had the spirit of Christ, being meek and humble. His life was an example worthy of emulation. He will be missed by his absence, and oftimes words of admonition and exaltation. Resolved, second; that these resolutions be spread on the face of our minutes and a copy sent to the family, and published in the Savannah Tribune. Respectfully yours, Thos. A. Milledge, John W. Roberts. Approved by the church in conference assembled this 17th, day of Jan. 1911. Rev. D. Agustine-Reid, Pastor, Attest, J. W. Roberts, Clerk. Mme. Florence E.

Pleasant, 315 Gas-street, west, repeated pledges of mutual affections which they exchanged Jan. 18, 1891, Jan. 18, 1911. Twas only a refreshing spectacle; within the period that has elapsed since this couple, was made one, nations have been divided, empires overthrown, and in many parts of the world the very face of nature has been changed. But there has been no change with Mr. and Mrs. Pleasant save that which years have produced upon the outer shell of humanity. In soul and spirit the bride and bridegroom of 20 years ago are the same today. The home presented a most beautiful scene, the parlor was decorated with vines, palms and cut flowers, and the red and pink lights added much to the scene. Rev. R. H. Singleton performed the ceremony. His words of encouragement were appreciated in the highest. Misses Eugenia Rivers, Mamie C. Gillius and Mr. Chas. M. Brinson, assisted in receiving. The beautiful mementoes presented were many and numerous. At 11 o'clock the host and hostess led their guests to the dining room, where waiters from Hicks' restaurant were in waiting with a sumptuous repast.

CHEATED FOR YEARS. Prejudice Will Cheat Us Often If We Let It. You will be astonished to find how largely you are influenced in every way by unfeasoning: prejudice. In many cases you will also find that the prejudice has swindled you, or rather, made you swindle yourself. A case in illustration: "I have been a constant user of Grape-Nuts for nearly three years," says a correspondent, "and I am happy to say that I am well pleased with the result of the experiment, for such it has been. "Seeing your advertisement in almost all of the periodicals, for a long time I looked upon it as a hoax. But after years of suffering with gaseous and bitter eructations from my stomach, together with more or less loss of appetite and flesh, I concluded to try Grape-Nuts food for a little time and note the result." "I found it delicious, and it was not long till I began to experience the beneficial, effects. My stomach resumed' its normal state, the eructations and bitterness ceased, and I have gained all my lost weight back. "I am so well satisfied with the result that so long as I may live and retain my reason Grape-Nuts' shall constitute quite a portion of my daily food." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pks. "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. OUR RELIGIOUS DUTY TO THE NEGRO Expressed in terms of selfishness, the main trouble about sitting on the other man to hold him down is that you cannot get up to do anything yourself while you are at it. There is no question but that many of the better class of whites in the South have been among those who have thought it necessary to use repressive measures in dealing with what we have come to call "The Negro Question." Moreover, certain repressive measures which have been used by the Southern whites in dealing with the Negro since the war were necessary. The Negro was unit for the franchise when it was put in his hands. In the hour of his coming from slavery he was unit to take into his untutored and childish hands the Institutions and privileges that a superior race had developed only after many generations of effort. The people who gave the Negro the franchise and even took measures to enforce the Negro rule in the South at the close of the war, now freely admit their terrible blunder, and the better element of the Negroes themselves will admit that the black man was unfit to perform the functions of full citizenship when he was given his freedom. The Civil war is past, slavery is gone, and nobody is more thankful than the Southern white people, albeit we are slow of heart to believe; all the self-complimentary expressions of some of our Northern friends as to the moral elevations of the motives which actuated them, as agents in the hands of Providence in securing freedom for the black man. The war is gone and the more awful reconstruction period is gone. The Negro has not gone; he is here, ten million strong, to abide permanently among the twenty million white people in the South. It is a situation of the utmost gravity, not paralleled in history. We Southerners have grown to know it from our mothers' milk. Our every familiarity with it may lead us to discount its immense significance. Amid many voices that have spoken on our unique situation, there is beginning to emerge a voice which we believe is from God and which gives us good cheer. This message is to the effect that, the Negro problem is a religious problem rather than a political or social problem. That is to say, the more thoughtful element among the Christian people of the South are beginning to see clearly that when we shall approach the race problem in the spirit of Christianity and shall deal with it in that spirit, we shall find a right solution of the great matter which a unique and strong deity has placed on the shoulders of the South. From 1845 until now Southern Baptists have every year reaffirmed their sense of obligation for the religious uplift of the Negro. In the year of the organization of the convention there was a deal of feeling between the Northern and Soutaern wings of the denomination, of which the Negro himself was the innocent occasion. But In that year the convention passed the following resolution: "Resolved, That the board of domestic missions be instructed to take all prudent measures for the religious instruction of the colored people." And in his address to the whole denomination, President W. B. Johnson of the convention said: "We sympathize with the Macedonian cry of the sons of Ethiopia among us, who are stretching forth their hands in supplication for the gospel." The Southern Baptists have been faithful in leading the Negro to salvation in Jesus Christ; that is the chief reason why more Negroes are members of Baptist churches in the South today than there are Negro members of all other denominations combined. In saying this we do not mean to discredit the faithful work A Canadian government 'drooge while at work recently at St. Johns, Quebec, clearing away the remains of the Royal Sauvage, sunk during the revolution, brought up several interesting relics. Among them were a cannon, two odd-looking axes and some coins and buttons. Australia has been having an exceptionally prosperous year, both exports and bank clearings showing im provement. Ansel Bradstreet of Freedom, Me. is being acclaimed the champion potato grower of Waldo county.

'Champagne drinkers' need not be alarmed, for despite three successive failures of the vintage there are still reserve stocks amounting to 160,000, 600 bottles. done for the colored people by other denominations. There is evidence just now of an increased sense of responsibility for the religious uplift of the Negro in the South. This has been shown in many ways among Southern Baptists, and we are reliably informed that there is a like tendency among our Methodist brethren. There is a growing conviction that the white Christians have a large duty to perform toward this black race that in the providence of God lives among us. We are coming to realize that we cannot be consistent in our missionary endeavor anywhere if we neglect this peculiar problem at our very doors. Our people are beginning to feel that we must take hold of this problem in a larger way than we have yet done. The words used at the beginning of this editorial have for Southern people in this connection a large meaning. If we are going to do our Christian duty to the Negro, we cannot do better than to aid him toward the realization of the best of which his race is capable. If we fail to do this, we must inevitably suffer ourselves. If we do it, the effort we put forth to lift the Negro to things that are better for him, will also be the means of our own advance. The best way to grow in character is to help others to grow. And we cannot choose to help some and ignore others. We have got to help the people around us, because God holds us responsible for it and because we will really not help anybody as we ought, if we refuse to do it. This helpfulness toward the Negro does not mean that we must open the ballot box to ignorant and unqualified Negroes, but it does mean that we will see that the Negro gets exact justice before the laws of our land in his differences with whites as well as with Blacks. It does not mean that we must set to work to give free classical education to the Negro youth, but it does mean that we are under obligation to find out what is best for the Negro and in the fear of God to help him to attain the things that are best for him. The home board is particularly glad that its cooperative work with the National Negro Baptist convention in maintaining thirty-five Negro missionaries and general evangelists in the South is so successful. Still more are we glad that this cooperative work has become the means of a completer understanding between the Negro Baptists and white Baptists. The work is so fully a success and the spirit of both parties of the arrangement is so manifestly one of mutual confidence, that we feel sure that the time has arrived when we can witnout difficulty do a larger work among the Nerces than we have yet undertaken. Dr. R. H. Boyd deserves large credit for having done a great deal toward bringing about the better understanding which exists between the white and Negro Baptists of the South. He has the fullest confidence of those who know him, including-leading Southern white Baptists. We sincerely trust that the day may now be upon us in which we may enter upon a larger work for the religious uplift of our brother in black. We have behind us the faithful endeavor of the noblest and best among our own fathers and mothers in the faith. White Baptists are the most numerous denomination among our race in the South. The Negro Baptists out number all other denominations among their race both in the South and in the entire country. The white Baptists have an opportunity to solve the Negro problem such as no other people in America have. The Negroes are ready to hear us to a larger extent than they are ready to near any other body of people. It is a large obligation which rests upon The progress of the Catholic church in Australia is perhaps the most striking religious fact in modern history.

But love and loyalty to Christ, together with our better understanding of it, call us, to it. God give us the grace to take hold of it and to solve it for our country, for our children and for God.—Editorial in the Home Field. Read at the National Baptist Sunday School Congress, at Atlanta, Georgia. By Thomas Young, Clarksdale, Miss. The teacher's life and influence toward the Sunday school marks one of the highest stages of Sunday school life. Since reality is one of the most sought phases in this modern life, the teacher's life and influence should occupy the greater sphere of the Sunday school circle. The teacher's life should be an example. Example is one of the most potent of instructors, though it teaches without a tongue. It is the practical school of mankind, working by action which is always more forcible even than words. The teacher's life should be so as to constrain his followers to see a higher light in the Sunday school for every act we do or word we utter, as well as every act we witness or word we hear, carries with it an influence which extends over and gives a color not only to the whole of our future life, but makes itself felt upon the whole frame of society. We cannot tract the influence working itself into action in the various ramifications among our Sunday school friends, but be assured that it is working and making an impression which cannot be eradicated. The teacher's life should be of such character as to show humanity in its best form, for the crown and glory of life is character. A teacher may have comparatively but little culture and slender ability, yet if his character be of sterling worth, he will always command an influence among those with whom he lives. His life should be above reproach in order to command the respect of every one. There are two things in the sphere in life which must go hand in hand, however contradictory they may seem, manly dependence and manly independence, or manly reliance and manly self-reliance. There are two forms of education; 'one is self-culture and the other' is what he receives from others. To master his logical sphere of Sunday school life, the teacher must possess both. Self-culture includes the education and training of all parts of a man's nature. The physical and moral, as well as the intellectual. All three must be trained and developed to make the real man. His life must be so constrained as to make the humbest member of his class glad to see him and to really enjoy his instructions. Unless his life and influence have these qualities in it, he cannot have a permanent and lasting impression upon his pupils. Above all things, the teacher should be well disciplined and the absolute master of himself. He cannot hope to influence others unless he has the ability of self-control. The humble teacher may well say, to respect myself is to develop myself, for the greatest duties we owe to the great system of society is not to degrade nor destroy the body nor mind. His life should not only be to suppress the evil, but to evoke the good elements in his person. When the teacher's life forms a pure epoch, then his influence in life will be seen like taat of our greatest teacher, Jesus Christ, for the harvest will be fully ripe. Some persons are exceedingly straightforward and truthful, while others are merely diplomatic. People will be exceedingly interested in you if you will make your personality entirely subservient to theirs. A girl's idea of a perfectly lovely summer is to be engaged to three men at the same time and drive herself frantic juggling dates. A good example of nobody in particular is rich people of the second generation. The man who always has a new joke to tell is as rare as a pearl on the seashore. One reason for marrying a man is to keep some other girl from making him perfectly wretched. Most everybody knows how. to do some one thing if he wasn't so busy trying to do a lot of others he doesn't know how. The easiest thing for a young woman and a young man to fool them selves about is to think they want to get married. Of course all men care more for themselves than they do for anybody else, but some don't make it entirely obvious. 900 DROPS CASTORIA ALCOHOL-3 PER CENT Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS & CHILDREN Promotes Digestion, Cheerfulness and Rest.

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES "I have seen the Cuticura Remedies used with best results during the past twenty years. In my work as a nurse, many skin disease cases came under my observation, and in every instance, I always recommended the Cuticura Remedies as they always gave entire satisfaction. One case in particular was that of a lady friend of mine who, when a child, was afflicted with oczema which covered her face and hands entirely, breaking out at Intervals with severer torture. She could not go to school as the disfigurement looked terrible. I told her to get at once a set of Cuticura Remedies. After the use of only one set she was perfectly well. "A grown lady friend was afflicted with salt rheum in one of her thumbs, and she was cured by the Cuticura Remedies. Still another lady had dry salt rheum in both palms of her hands every fall of the year. They used to be so painful she could scarcely wet her hands until she began to use the Cuticura Remedies which cured her. I have also seen them cure children of ringworm. The children's faces would be all circles and rings around the cheeks, and the neck, and after treatment, with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment they were completely cured. My husband had rheumatism on his arm and I used the Cuticura Ointment. It made his arm as limber and nice, whereas it was quite stiff before I began to apply the Ointment. "Last May I had an ingrowing toe nail which was very painful, as the side of the nail was edging right down in the side of my toe. I cut the nail out of the cavity it made, and of course applied the Cuticura Ointment to the part affected. It soothed it and in less than ten nights it was all healed through constant use of the Ointment. Ten days ago I had my left hand and wrist burned with bolling lard, and Cuticura Ointment has completely cured them. I have just recommended the Cuticura Remedica to another friend, and she is pleased with the results and is recovering nicely. I will gladly furnish the names of the people referred to above if anybody doubts what I say." (Signed) Mrs. Margaret Hederson, 77 Highland Ave., Malden, Mass., Oct. 1, 1910. Art In the Nude. The photographer's lady was very preoccupied showing some samples of work to prospective sitters, when a tall and raw-boned individual, apparently from "the land," stalked solemnly info the studio, and intimated that he would like to know what the "picters" were worth.

IT IS A MISTAKE Many have the idea that anything will sell if advertised strong enough. This is a great mistake. True, a few sales might be made by advertising an absolutely worthless article but it is only the article that is bought again and again that pays. An example of the big success of a worthy article is the enormous sale that has grown up for Cascarets Candy Cathartic. This wonderful record is the result of great merit successfully made known through persistent advertising and the mouth-to-mouth recommendation given Cascarets by its friends and users. Like all great successes, trade prizes prey on the unsuspecting public, by marketing fake tablets similar in appearance to Cascarets. Care should always be exercised in purchasing well advertised goods, especially an article that has a national sale like Cascarets. Do not allow a substitute to be palmed off on you.

Historically, the fate of many a nation has been decided on the whim of a woman, which was the gamble of man; people have been plunged into wholesale tragedy on the turn of a card, the throw of the dice. The Peggy Stewart was burned on a gamble that the people of the colonies would support with their life blood the apparent act of vandalism which was a patriotic necessity. Had the whole people refused to indorse the act of that violent Anne Arundel minority, in spirit, if not in form, those who perpetrated it would have swung from the end of a rope. No great business enterprise was ever successfully launched excepting in a spirit of venture, says a writer in the Baltimore Sun. "Nothing venture, nothing have" has come to be a trulism as established as human nature. Not long ago a man invented a commodity, and promoters with faith in his work invested thousands of dollars on the gamble that they would be able to create a market before they were choked by opposition. An existing concern, whose intrest would have been injured by the new commodity, promptly squeezed the new company out of existence and the investors out of pocket. In the lowly language of the dice table the new concern made a good point, but crapped out. If the Frederick county charge to the grand jury goes literally—which it won't—there will be no more chances at church functions, no more wheels at county fairs and no more drawings for charity. Whether or not this would work a social improvement may be a doubtful question. But that such strict interpretations of the law cannot be Women, Cats and Bad Luck An Old Salt Ruminates on S Down to Se "Sailors are the most superstitious people in the world," said an old sailor who was discoursing from his seat upon a rusty anchor to those of the wharf habitues who happenen to be about, says a Bangor special to the New York Times. "Anything they can't understand," went on the speaker, after haying lit his pipe in the face of a stiff breeze, "they explain by magic, or something supernatural. Now, at sea there are many things that no man can understand, and the life, too, makes men superstitious. Let a young fellow who would pooh-hooh the idea of putting off anything until Saturday, or next week because Friday is an unlucky day ship before the mast and inslee of six months he'll be like all the rest of the old salts—full of signs and superstitions about this and that. It must be the influence of the sea; it changes a man, I don't know just how, but it makes him ready to believe in almost anything. I think that one of the beliefs most common among seamen of all classes," went on the speaker, "is the idea that a cat on board ship will cause The Negro's At a recent meeting of the Tuskegee Seminar, W. A. Hazel, of the institute faculty, read a paper on the "Negro's Contribution to American Life." It was a happy and hopeful production, abounding in much thought and even in speech. Mr. Hazel believes that the Negro will contribute something worth while to North American civilization. Among other things he said: "I have sometimes thought that the Negro has been preserved for some high mission, that he may one day render a great service to America and the world. He has gifts which indicate that he may be designed to be the repository of virtues to be held in trust, just as the Hebrew people were made the repository of that spiritual seed which blossomed in the birth of the great Nazarene to the re regeneration of the world; and just as learning and the arts found refuge among the Monks of European monasteries during the middle ages, to come forth with renewed vigor in the great Ren- Japan is building her first homemade locomotives.

Behind all laws there must be an approving public opinion; otherwise those laws will not be enforced. And the fact is that the average man is not outraged at the thought of buying a few stocks on margin, or playing the wheel of fortune at Timomium, or investing a dime in a church raffle. If confronted by the proposition that it is not logical to object to the Louisiana lottery or policy playing and then taking a chance on a turkey at Thanksgiving time, he says: "Drat logic." In his inner consciousness he appreciates the fact that there is a happy man in these affairs, to go beyond which whether logical or not, means absurdity. He knows that policy playing is bad and he won't stand for it. His knows that poker playing for high stakes is harmful, but he doesn't see the harm of penny ante. The theory of the thing doesn't bother him. And in regard to the blue laws generally, he is apt to reason this way when he reasons at all: If Jones wants a drink on Sunday let him have it. And If Smith wants to sell Jones the drink, let him sell it. But when Smith is allowed to sell, and Robinson, who keeps the place opposite his, isn't then that's a sign that there's some graft doing and it's time to inquire into it. Or if Smith gets a disorderly crowd, about his place while selling on Sunday he ought to be closed. If Robinson allows the boys to be in his back room and haye a little game, that's all right, but if he gets a regular gambler's outfit and takes a rake-off, then you'd better shut him up. Sooner or later some one is going to get stung in that place. Mixed up in his logic, isn't he, the average man? But, then, even the philosophers are that. Pigs Bring ck, Say Sailormen Superstition of Those Who go ea in Ships. her to meet with gaies. The old saying is that 'a cat carries a gale in her tail,' and the average sailor believes that when a cat frisks about the deck she is raising a storm. The belief that one can whistle up a wind is also pretty generally found among seamen, although those of the younger sort do not believe these things so firmly as do most of the older tars. In my younger days I remember boys having their ears boxed by the captain or the mate who caught them whistling about their duties, and these men thought that if the youngster whistled long enough and loud enough rough weather would result. 'It is curious how sailors dislike a cat and how the name is associated with so many things that are unpleasant to a sailor. The cat-o-nine-tails is well known enough, and no sailor has any love for the gear used in raising the anchor such as the cathead, the cattatall, the cathook, and the catback. The pig seems to be only second to the cat in the bad reputation it has on board ship, and there are some other things which are unlucky. Contribution alssance. Does there appear to be any solid basis for the hope or belief that the Negro will bring any new impulses to bear within the aesthetic domain? If he does not, there must be a radical departure from the patia trodden by all other youthful, not to say primitive peoples, in their development. The history of all such peoples shows that the emotional nature was always the first to press for utterance, and in the effort, created the arts as the medium through which to find expression. The Negro lives close to nature as have all youthful races, for though the black race has a history that runs back of the Pryamids and the Sphinx, and is lost in the shadowy background of Ethiopia, it is essentially a youthful race. Young in that its vigor of body and mind is unimpaired, not yet having realized life. Young because it is misphisticated, and unspoiled by the complex civilization which transforms the natural man into artificial creature." That a calvaryman unhorsed is the most easily cowed? That one can show his temper only after he has lost it? That a contractor should be called upon to expand a house? That no young man ever rose rapidly till he had settled down? That the plow must be soiled before the soil can be plowed? That a susceptible fellow is hardest hit by the softest glances? ANONG THE MASONS. Past Master R. E. Ellison of Tried Stone Lodge No. 189, has the sympathy of the brothren on the death of his beloved wife, which recently occurred. But one thing is permanent, one thing alike defies time and endures throughout eternity, goodness, for goodness is born of God and exists with God. Greatness in man dies with man, but goodness in man is as eternal as his and its Creator.—R. T. W. Duke, Jr., Virginia. Everything in the lodge—its honor, its safety, its reputation—rests upon the force of individual character, and therefore, coming under the tongue of good report, must be given its deepest significance in connection with all petitioners. Oftimes lodges are prone to be too charitable as to the feelings of petitioners. Saying ne's a good fellow and Masonry will straighten him out doesn't work for the upbuilding and strengthening of the craft. Being charitable is a Masonic virtue, but it is better to exercise the charity in straightening out the petitioner before presenting his name, than, in a charitable way, to turn him over to the lodge for character building. We must grasp the fact that a Masonic lodge is not a reformatory.—A. L. Fitzzerald, Nevada. Masons Born, Not Made. Masons are born, not made, says Brother Frederick Speed; and it is unfortunately true that the more degrees conferred upon some men the further they are from attaining the Masonic ideal; the inspiration is lacking and no amount of schooling will supply it. Other men grasp Masonry and cling to it, and their whole being seems to be permeated with it. The husk is necessary to the growth of the ear corn, but it is valueless as food for man. So it is with those who either lack the inclination or the mental capacity to pursue the study of Masonry beneath and beyond the elementary instruction of degrees, however beautiful they may be. The real value which sustains and gives life to Masonry is not to be found in that which covers the ear, but in the ear itself, and unless we search beneath the mere outward shell for the corn which alone gives life and strength we fail to receive the true inspiration.—Voice Review. We have here to do with that form of Masonry alone which always has been and always will be the only universal Masonry known to the world. We are concerned with the preservation of the unblemished reputation of the institution and the inculcation of those lessons which make good men better and guard them from those errors and indiscretions which might cause them to suffer in the eyes of God or man. We may not hope to find any rites or ceremonies, no matter how beautiful in action, how attractive in surroundings and accessories, how bewildering to tue laymen in titles, how multitudinous in degrees, by plunging into which we may acquire an imperishable mental or moral philosophy which is not open to Entered Apprentices. He will find it an ignis fatus who pursues Masonle business, social or moral greatness, through seeking titles or purchasing the highest available number of degrees. All these associations are pleasurable and should receive the support and patronage of Masons, but when agents solicit as men sell merchandise, when medals, exemption from dues and other considerations, are held up like prizes, as an inducement for obtaining petitions, then the operation of zeal has gone beyond the bounds of prudence, and Masonry is vulgarized. — Edward W. Wellington, Grand Master, Kansas. DEATH OF MRS ALICE JAMES. In the death of Mrs. Alice James, which occurred at her home near Sylvania, a short time ago, the A. M. E. church lost one of its best known and most faithful members, she having served as stewardess and treasurer for St. Stephen's church for many years. She was also treasurer for Charity Chapter No. 48, O. A. E. S. She had been suffering from cancer for five months, and when the final summons came she passed without a struggle into the great beyond. Sister James was 83 years old at the time of her death. She is survived by her four children, three sons and one daughter; her husband, Bro. Joseph James, having died in 1909. She was born and reared in Screven county and the sweet influence of her Christian life will live through generation to come. We will all miss her from her accustomed paths in which she has gone in and out among us tuese many years. We will miss her pleasant greeting and the warm pulsations of her generous heart. We will miss her in the church and in the home. She filled well her four-score years. Gbd rest her soul in peace. Points on Sparking. A foreign-born professor of physics in a western college was lecturing to a class of young men and light-hearted "co-eds." With reference to an electrical apparatus before him, he explained in the gravest manner possible: "You see, when I keep deso two metal points far apart, de electric spark makes a great noise, but not so when I bring dem closer togedder, So ladies and gentlemen, observe de general rule: Do report iss never so great when de sparking distance is short."-Judge.

Leads OUR MOTTO: "NOT HOW CHEAP, BUT HOW SAFE."

No extra assessment on the death of members. All endowment and sick benefits paid promptly according to law. No risk to run; no danger of loss to beneficiaries.

Our order is noted for paying of each endowment as soon as proof of death is received. Call on the nearest Deputy and let him explain how you can get this lodge at your home. Men and women wanted everywhere at good wages to organize this order. Address: sitate to have your shoes repaired on account the kind of repairing we do.
