The Savannah Tribute. VOL. XXVI. TRIPLE TRAGEDY IN POISON CUP Mother and Daughter Drink Cyanide of Potassium--Also Poison Orphan Boy. Philadelphia. — Driven insane by grief over the death of her sister in the German Hospital, Miss Janet Lewis, 26 years old, killed her mother and her 9-year-old nephew by giving them water containing cyanide of potassium. When she saw they were dead she took a fatal dose of the poison and died almost instantly. The tragedy was enacted at the home of Miss Lewis' brother-in-law, Edward Midlen, 47 West Phil-Ellena street, in the Pelham section of Germantown. With the death of his wife, the death of his brother, who committed suicide by hanging himself down South last November, and the present triple tragedy at his home, there are now five persons for him to mourn. Five Dead in Family. The dead since November are: Mrs. Edward Midlen, 37 years old, who died in the German Hospital last night, following an operation for gallstones. Miss Janet Lewis, 26 years old, Mrs. Midlen's sister. Mrs. Edward Lewis, 65 years of age, mother. Edward Midlen, Jr., 9 years of age, son of Edward Midlen. Walter Midlen, who hanged himself while traveling in the South last fall. Of the family of six alive Monday only two are left Tuesday—Edward Midlen and his little 8-month-old infant. The child had been in the care of a trained nurse since Mrs. Midlen was taken to the hospital several months ago. Traveling somewhere in the South is Edward Lewis. Efforts are being made to reach him that he may know that his wife, his two daughters and his grandson have died within the last 24 hours. Came From Baltimore. The Lewis family came here from Baltimore and is descended from old Colonial families. Miss Lewis and her sister attended college in the South and the family was one of culture and refinement. Miss Lewis has recently been following the teaching of Christian Science. Mr. Midlen is manager of the Gorham Silver Company, at 925 Chestnut street. Miss Lewis was devoted to her married sister, and during the latter's illness in the German Hospital she was daily at Mrs. Midlen's bedside. When the doctors in attendance upon Mrs. Midlen announced two months ago that an operation would be necessary if her life was to be saved, Miss Lewis was almost prostrated with anxiety and worry. The operation was performed, and it was thought at first that Mrs. Midlen would survive. JOHN MITCHELL RESIGNS Gives Up Civic Federation Office and Membership. New York-John Mitchell, former head of the United Mine Workers of America and lately chairman of the trade agreement department of the National Civic Federation, made public his resignation of his office and membership in the latter organization. It was also announced that President Seth Low, of the Civic Federation, had accepted the resignation to take effect at the close of the present month. Mr. Mitchell's severance of relation with the Civic Federation follows the stand-recently taken by the United Mine Workers of America in declaring that any member of their organization accepting a position with the National Civic Federation would thereby forfeit membership in the union. With this choice placed before him Mr. Mitchell decided to resign from the Civic Federation. SENDS IN SPECIAL MESSAGE President Transmits Tariff Board Facts on Canadian Products. Washington, D. C President Taft sent a special message to Congress transmitting information prepared by the Tariff Board relative to such articles and commodities named in the Canadian reciprocity agreement, concerning which the board had available information. The report was called for in a resolution offered by Senator Cummins. The statistics transmitted dealt with pulp wood, pulp and news print paper, farm products, including live stock, and current relative prices in Canada and the United States of wheat, barley and food products of the farm, including meats, poultry, eggs, dairy products and vegetables. MARCH WINDS (Copyright, 1911) (Copyright 1911) 500 BURNED ALIVE IN CHINA A Terrible Punishment of Starving Robbers. 30,000 DEAD FROM PLAGUE. Hundreds of Refugees Plundering and Killing People in the Famine-Stricken Victoria, B. C. — Rendered desperate by hunger, bands of hundreds of starving refugees are roving through the famine-stricken area of China, plundering and killing, and a reign of terror prevails, according to persons who arrived here on the Tamba Maru, which just reached port from the Orient. At Kunsham, a walled village within 50 miles of Shanghai, the villagers, after a desperate raid in which stores were looted and many killed, meted out punishment peculiarly Chinese in its callousness to the raiding refugees. A band of more than 500 are reported to have been surrounded in a compound and burned to death. The refugees had taken possession of Kunshan and for two days ransacked the stores of everything eatable, killing or wounding all who resisted. Many villagers were slain and others were taken prisoners and held for ransom. When the raiders moved on to plunder the next village, the Kunshan people held a council of war and offered to pursue the fugitives. They came up with them in a small village and surrounded the houses. The gates were locked and the houses fired. The refugees brought five prisoners into the compound in view of the siegers and threatened to kill them unless the siege was raised, and on the villagers pressing them back to the burning buildings, they slowly hacked the five men to death. Three other prisoners were tied to stakes in the burning building and were burned with their captors. The Awful Ravages of Famine and Plague in China. Peking. — Famine and the plague are sweeping over China. The known deaths from the plague number 30,000, and, according to the official statistics, the death rate averages 200 daily. Bnt the officials have little knowledge of the conditions in the interior, or if they have, they are not permitting the facts to be known. There are few or no foreigners in the interior and conditions there for this reason are not attracting much public attention. It is impossible even to estimate the number of deaths that have resulted from lack of food. Dr. Samuel Cochran, an American, who is engaged in the work of relief, writes: "One million people will die before the first crop is harvested. This will be scanty, because the people have not the strength to till the soil and no animals remain for plowing." Maning's Bites Kill Nurse Lebanon, Pa.—Miss Lillie Light, aged 24 years, a nurse, died here from blood poisoning, the result of being bitten in the wrist and neck by an insane foreign woman whom she was nursing. She died in great agony. 200 DYING DAILY SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1911: 1. A boy running away from a ball. 2. A boy running away from a ball. 3. A boy running away from a ball. 4.

Senator Beveridge's motion declaring that Mr. Lorimer had not been elected was defeated. Soon after the vote was announced Mr. Lorimer, who had left the chamber shortly before the voting began, re-entered the room and was warmly congratulated by Senator Guggenheim, the millionaire senator from Colorado. The vote on the Lorimer case was taken at 1.30 o'clock, under the agreement made Tuesday night, whereby the filibuster against Mr. Lorimer was brought to a close, with the understanding that the Tariff Board Bill should be made the continuing order of business. This was the price which the insurgent senators demanded for abandoning their opposition to Mr. Lorimer. Within 10 minutes after Mr. Lorimer was safely seated, and the Tariff Board Bill was called up, Senator Heyburn began filibustering against a vote on the Tariff Board Bill, and Senator Hale assisted by announcing that he would keep appropriation bills before the Senate indefinitely. To the chagrin of the insurgents, the Tariff Board Bill was laid aside at 3 o'clock, and the Agricultural Appropriation Bill was taken up. There remain eight other appropriation bills, including the Naval Affairs, the Postoffice and the Sundry Civil Bill. The Naval Affairs Bill will bring up the annual controversy over two battleships or one; the Sundry Civil Bill will bring up the controversy over the fortification of the Panama Canal, and the Postoffice Appropriation Bill contains the provision for the additional postage on the advertising section of magazines. Any one of these propositions will furnish ample occasion for debate from now until the adjournment of Congress. Not a word has been said in all the negotiations regarding the Reciprocity Bill, so that an extra session is still a certainty. ORDER 100,000 BIBLES One Will Be Placed in Every Hotel Bedroom. New York.—One hundred thousand Bibles have been ordered for general distribution by the Glideons, as the members of the Christian Travelers' Association of America style themselves. The order is said to be the largest ever placed, and it forms part of a national plan to place a Bible in every hotel bedroom in the country. Haytlan Rebellion Over. Port Au Prince.—President Simon issued an official proclamation declaring that the last vestiges of rebellion had been wiped out. The President, who has been at the head of his army quelling the revolutionary outbreak, returned Thursday. It is believed that he ceased his military barbarities under pressure from the United States. She Can't Vote for President. Topeka, Kan. — Presidential suffrage for women was voted down by the House in committee of the whole, 50 to 48, after it had been acted on favorably by the Senate. Both branches of the Legislature have already voted to submit a woman's suffrage amendment to the people, but this proposed amendment does not extend to the balloting for President. MAGAZINE WRITER TO SING SING Broughton Brandenburg Almost Collapses in Court. WAS ACCUSED OF FORGERY. Once Sold an Article to Newspaper Alleged to Have Been Written by Cleveland, and Which Indorsed Taft for President. New York. After a jury in General Sessions Court had considered the evidence for fifteen minutes it brought in a verdict of guilty of forgery against Broughton Brandenburg, the magazine writer, and Judge Swann sentenced him to Sing Sing Prison for a term of from two years to four years and six months. He almost collapsed when sentence was pronounced. Brandenburg, who was charged with forging and cashing a check for $50.last summer, has figured in court proceedings for the past two years, notably in connection with the sale, under alleged false pretenses, of an article purporting to have been written by the late Grover Cleveland. Broughton Brandenburg came into the limelight in April of 1909, when he was indicted on a charge of obtaining money from the New York Times, under false pretenses, by selling them an article purporting to have been written by the late Grover Cleveland and representing him as advocating the election of William H. Taft. After its publication the article was widely circulated as campaign literature, and was finally brought to the attention of Mrs. Cleveland, who declared it entirely apocryphal, and an investigation ensued which resulted in the indictment of Brandenburg on a charge of grand larceny preferred by the Times. Broughton Brandenburg began his writing career in the city of Buffalo in the early spring of 1901 as a reporter on the Enquirer, an afternoon daily newspaper. He had arrived from New York city, landing in Buffalo without friends, money or experience as a collector or writer of news. The management of the Pan-American Exposition was at that time busy in the preliminaries which later made the exposition one of the most attractive of any similar enterprise conducted in this country. Brandenburg carried a cane, wore natty clothes and went about his work with a dash and vigor that made his city editor look up and take notice. He became especially valuable as a writer of "special stories" in connection with the exposition. Then his wife came to the city, perhaps three months after he arrived. She, too, claimed to possess literary talent, and was given a chance to demonstrate her abilities. Mrs. Brandenburg wrote fairly well, and later became an adjunct to the society department of the Buffalo Courier, owned by W. J. Conners, who was also proprietor of the Enquirer. TAFT TO KEEP UP FIGHT Tells Publishers He is Determined They Shall Pay More. Washington, D. C.—Magazine editors and publishers from various parts of the country called on President Taft Wednesday to urge further investigation into the postal rates their publications should pay. Their spokesman was Mr. T. E. Zimmerman, editor of System. "You may be able to defeat the present proposal," the President told them. "These things' are frequently capable of defeat for a time, but as long as I have any power I am going to recommend the consideration of this question until it is settled. It is not in the slightest spirit of hostility to the magazines that I have made this recommendation, but because I am responsible for the government of the United States and the administration of it." . CUT OFF HIS LEG WITH AX Injured Woodman's Remarkable Grit Saves His Life. Ogdensburg, N. Y. — Remarkable grit saved the life of Daniel Snyder, a woodsman, when he was caught beneath a fallen tree. Snyder's leg, crushed by the weight of tons of wood, hung by shreds and he was rapidly bleeding to death when he crawled to his ax, severed the limb with it, ripped off his shirt and checked the flow of blood by binding it tightly about the stump. He then lay back and awaited the arrival of help. When fellow-woodsmen took him to a hospital surgeons perfected his crude amputation by removing another portion of the crushed limb. His recovery is expected.

Washington Tells the Story of His Famous Meal With Ex-President Roosevelt, in the Executive Mansion at Washington. In the World's Work Booker T. Washington continues his "Chapter From My Experience." He tells why he has never sought or held a government job, gives the story of his acquaintance with Colonel Roosevelt and seeks to itemize the things he has learned from the colonel and tells the story of his famous white house dinner. He is very eulogistic of the colonel, endeavors to discount the general disposition to credit Mr. Roosevelt with acting upon impulse, contending that he is a wise, far-searing, quick-thinking statesman, and says that "practically everything that he tried to do for the South while he was president was outlined in conversations to me many years before it became known to most people that he had the slightest chance of becoming president. What he did was not a matter of impulse, but the result of carefully matured plans." He says of Mr. Roosevelt that "after the death of President McKinley, I received a letter from him written in his own hand, on the very day that he took the oath of office at Buffalo, as president—or was it the day following?—in which he asked me to meet him in Washington. He wanted to take over with me the plans for helping the South that we had discussed years before. This plan had lain matured in his mind for months and years, and, as soon as the opportunity came, he acted upon it." After debating with himself the advisability of accepting the president's invitation, Doctor Washington says that he concluded that it was his duty to go to Washington and that shortly after Mr. Roosevelt became established in the white house he went there and spent the greater part of an evening with him in talk concerning the South. He says that Mr. Roosevelt "emphasized two points" in particular; first, he said that wherever he appointed a white man to office in the South, he wishes him to be the very highest type of native Southern white man—one in whom the whole country had faith. He repeated and emphasized his determination to appoint such a type of man regardless of political influences or political consequences. Then he stated to me, quite frankly, that he did not propose to appoint a large number of colored people to office in any part of the South, but that he did propose to do two things which had not been before that time—at least not to the extent and with the definite purpose that he had in mind. Wherever he did appoint a colored man to office in the South, he said that he wanted him to be not only a man of ability but of character—a man who had the confidence of his white and colored neighbors. He did not propose to appoint a colored man to office simply for the purpose of temporary political expediency. He added that while he proposed to appoint fewer colored men to office in the South he proposed to put a certain number of colored men of high character and ability in office in the Northern states. He said that he had never been able to see any good reason why colored men should be put in office in the Southern state, and not put in the North as well. As a matter of fact, before Mr. Roosevelt became president, not a single colored man had ever been appointed, so far as I know, to a Federal office in any Northern state." Doctor Washington tells of some of the appointments which Mr. Roosevelt made in pursuance of this policy and of its continuance as regards the CURIOUS CONDENSATIONS. It is persistently reported that Mexico is about to remove the duty on wheat. Manufacturers now forum, for the first time in the history of our commerce, more than one-half of the total exports of the United States. Though but a small nation, Switzerland makes 100,000,000 pounds of honey a year, so well is its flora adapted to bee culture. There are 103 cement factories in the United States, and the number is growing all the time. "The English word 'firt,' both as verb and noun, has been adopted by the German speaking people in this city," says a Vienna letter, "but it is usually pronounced 'fleert.'" The village of Remborn, in the mountainous region of Taunus, in Germany, possesses a linden tree which is said to have reached the age of 1,200 years. North and West by President Taft. Coming, then, to the famous white house dinner the incident which led up to it are narrated. Doctor Washington was making a tour of Mississippi. He received word that the president wished to have a conference with him. After considering the matter he concluded that he should accept this invitation, and so as soon as his work in Mississippi was done he went to Washington. Arriving there in the afternoon he went to the house of his friend, Whitefield McKinley, formerly of Charleston, by the way, and now collector of the port of Georgetown, the first colored man to hold that position, with whom he expected to stop during his stay in Washington. His arrival at McKinley's house brings him to the events immediately preceding the famous dinner, a matter which, he says, "I have hitherto constantly refused to discuss in print or in public, though I have had a great many requests to do so. At the time I did not care to add fuel to the controversy which it aroused and I speak of it now only because it seemed to me that an explanation will show the incident in it sturge light and in its proper proportions." Here is the story as Doctor Washington tells it: "When I reached Mr. McKinley's house, I found an invitation from President Roosevelt, asking me to dine with him at the white house that evening at eight o'clock. At the hour appointed I went to the white house and dined with the president and members of his family and a gentleman from Colorado. After dinner we talked at considerable length concerning plans about the south which the president had in mind. I left the white house almost immediately and took a train the same night for New York. When I reached New York the next morning I noticed that the New York Tribune had about two lines, stating that I had dined with the president the previous night. That was the only New York paper, so far as I saw, that mentioned the matter. Within a few hours the whole incident completely passed from my mind. I mentioned the matter casually during the day to a friend—Mr. William H. Baldwin, Jr., then president of the Long Island railroad—but spoke of it to no one else and had no intention of doing so. There was, in fact, no reason why I should discuss it or mention it to any one. "My surprise can be imagined when, two or three days afterward, the whole press, North and South, was filled with dispatches and editorials relating to my dinner, with the president. For days and weeks I was pursued by reporters in quest of interviews. I was deluged with telegrams and letters asking for some expression of opinion or an explanation; but during the whole of this period of agitation and excitement I did not give out a single interview and did not discuss the matter in any way "Some newspapers attempted to deave into this incident a deliberate and well-planned scheme on the park of President Roosevelt to lead the way in bringing about the social intermingling of the two races. I am sure that nothing was farther from the president's mind than this: certainly it was not in my mind. Mr Roosevelt simply found that he could spare the time best during and after the dinner hour for the discussion of the matters which both of us were interested in. "The public interest aroused by this dinner scheme all the more extraor- FASHION NOTES. dinary and uncalled for, because, on previous occasions, I had taken tea with Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle; I had dined with the governors of nearly every state in the North; I had dined in the same room with President McKinley at Chicago at the peace jubilee dinner, and I had dined with ex-President Harrison in Paris and with many other prominent white men." Doctor Washington's version differs materially from that which has been industriously circulated in the South during the last two or three years by those who would soften the dislike of Mr. Roosevelt which this dinner occasioned. The tale as it has been told latterly has been that Doctor Washington was at the white house in conference with the president that lunch was announced and that Mr. Roosevelt, being absorbed in his conversation with the Tuskegee educator, sald impulsively: "Come on and have lunch with me;" that Doctor Washington was reluctant, but that Mr. Roosevelt repeated the invitation suggesting that only thus would they be able to finish their conversation. It has been understood here that this was the story as told by Mr. Roosevelt himself and in the absence of any proof to the contrary it has been accepted and Mr. Roosevelt's action in this matter has been viewed in a light somewhat different from that in which news of it was first received in this part of the country. Doctor Washington says that 'he has long since come to the conclusion that "prejudices are something that it does not pay to disturb," and that in dining with President Roosevelt there was no disposition on my part—and I am sure there was no disposition on Mr. Roosevelt's part—to attack any custom of the South." The fact remains, however, that the custom was attacked and that more grossly than previous stories have indicated. Doctor Washington's contention that "there is, therefore, absolutely no ground or excuse for the assertion sometimes made that our dining together was part of a preconcerted and well-thought-out plan," may be accepted as true, but Doctor Washington ought to have known what the effect of his acceptance of the president's invitation would be and ought to have known that he could not afford to dine with the president and his family at the white house, even though the president's "convenience" was thereby promoted. It appears now that Doctor Washington had plenty of time to think over the matter in advance—and that he violated what he himself admits to be the settled conviction of the Southern people, that whites and blacks should not sit at the same table. More than that, he does not display a tract of regret for his action. "I was born in the South," he says, "and I understand thoroughly the prejudices, the customs, the traditions of the South—and, strange as it may seem to those who do not wholly understand the situation, I love the South. There is no Southern white man who cherishes a deeper interest than I in everything that promotes the progress and the glory of the South. For that reason, if for no other, I will never willingly, knowingly do anything that, in my opinion, will provoke bitterness between the races or misunderstanding between the races or misunderstanding between the North and the South."—Charleston (S. C.) Messenger. THE PHILOSOPHER. The self-conceited man gets more comfort out of his supposed qualities than the man who really possesses them. The mills of the gods grind slowly, which makes some folks think the wheels don't go around. Those who regard the sacred duties of friendship lightly are generally relieved of them all too swiftly. Broken promises never make a pretty mosaic for the foundation of character. When you hear a man bragging about his ancestors, it's a safe bet that he has nothing else to brag about. A young widow doesn't think much of a man who attempts to kiss her—and falls. And a woman gets a lot of comfort out of believing things are true when she knows they are not. The horsepower of an automobile may sometimes be judged by the number of horses required to haul it to the repair shop. Calm, whether real or affected, is always master of any situation. A fussy old bachelor says the tongue of a woman is a dagger, and she never lets it grow rusty. When a woman has an unattractive figure other women are willing to admit that it is natural. Race Progress As Reported by the National Negra Business League. New banks are being organized very rapidly. A short time ago at Hare Valley, Virginia, a bank was organized. This bank is backed by the support and capital of some of the most substantial citizens of that section of the state. At Salisbury, Maryland, the Houston Saving Bank was organized with a capital stock of $10,000. The bank is named after Solomon T. Houston one of the leading citizens of the east shore of Maryland. Very prominently interested in the project are Mellvin J. Chisholm of Hare Valley, Virginia, Rev. R. C. Wallace and Dr. P. O. Connally. The People's Savings Bank and Trust company has just been organized at Hopkinsville, Kentucky, with a capital stock of $25,000. This bank has substantial banking and will no doubt be of great benefit to the colored people of that section of Kentucky. It will also greatly stimulate savings and the promoting of business enterprises. There seems to be a growing sentiment concerning the erecting of monuments by white people of Texas, and at the last meeting of the National Association of Confederate veterans a resolution was passed that such a monument should be erected. Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet, widow of the famous General James G. Longstreet, has recently launched a movement to erect on the capitol grounds of Atlanta, Georgia, a monument to the memory of the slaves. The name of the organization is "Slaves of the Southern Confederacy Monument Association." The movement first took definite shape as the result of a suggestion made in a speech delivered by Mrs. Longsteet at Cartersville, Ga., at the dedication of the Confederate Monument at that place. In closing her remarks, Mrs. Longstreet referred in glowing terms to the devotion of the slaves while their masters were away engaged in a struggle that if successful would have left them in shackles. Mrs. Longstreet concluded her address by giving $100 toward the erection of the monument. An additional $200 was quickly raised before the meeting adjourned. Governor Joseph M. Brown has accepted a position as chairman of the advisory committee of the Association. He emphasized the importance of the movement and says: "I trust that the proposed monument of the slaves will have a part in bridging the chasm which ought never to have existed between the races." At Athens, Ga., plans have just been drawn for the "Black Mammy Memorial Institute." The building, it is said, is to be an unusually attractive structure. It will be colonial in style, the distinctly Southern tonches being strictly adhered to. Chancellor David C. Barrow of the University of Georgia is one of the chief promoters of the Black Mammy Memorial Institute. The building it is understood when completed is to be used as a Negro Industrial school. There are 234 Negro employees in the customs' service at New York. They draw annually salaries aggregating $35,000.00. At Charlotte, N. C., The A. M. E. Zion church has just erected at a cost of $20,000.00 the Vartick Memorial building. In this building will be located the publishing house of the A. M. E. Zion denomination. Mr. Edward Willis is the superintendent of the famous Patchen Wilkes Stock Farm, Lexington, Ky. He has for a number of years been in charge of this stock farm which is owned by the millionaire, W. E. D. Stokes of New York City. Mr. Willis has made good. The American Magazine rates him as one of the three best trainers and stock raisers in the whole country. The Bonded Realty company has recently been incorporated at Richmond, Va. The capital stock is $10,000.00. This new corporation will buy and sell property and do a general real estate business. John Mitchell, Jr., is president of the company, H. F. Johnson, first vice-president. The Louisville, Ky., Colored Y. M. C. A. under the efficient direction of 'ts secretary, C. H. Bullock, has just closed a campaign in which $5,000 was raised among the colored people and as a result a gift of $10,00 was secured from the whites. The money goes toward the establishing of boys' department and other features. John Mitchell, Jr., president of the Mechanics' Saving Bank of Richmond, Va., is a member of the American Bankers' association, and he regularly attends the annual meetings of the association and is always courteously treated by the white bankers. At the last session of the association which met recently in Los Angeles, Cal., Mr. Mitchell distributed booklets describing the Mechanics' Saving Bank. This was the first time that many of the bankers had heard that there was a Negro Bbank NORTH IS HYPOCRITICAL ABOUT NEGRO QUESTION NORTH IS HYPOCRITICAL ABOUT NEGRO QUESTION SENATOR BORAH OF IDAHO MADE SOME POINTED REMARKS ABOUT RACE ISSUE. RACIAL PREJUDICE IN NORTH Borah Claims That Northern People Deal Less Leniently With Negro Than Southerners. Washington, D. C.—(Special.) That prejudice against the Negro is just as intense in the north as in the south and that the north plays the hypocrite in its contentions to the contrary was boldly and bluntly asserted in the senate by a Republican senator. The speaker was Senator Borah of Idaho. His declarations regarding the Negro were made at the close of a prolonged speech in opposition to the Southerland amendment to the senate resolution providing for the election of senators by popular vote. That amendment would have the effect of giving congress control of senatorial elections. The Idaho senator's pronouncement on the race question was made in response to the assertion of Senator Root that without the Southerland provision the resolution would deprive the southern Negros of federal protection in the exercise of franchises. Mr. Borah dissented from the New York senator's view and in doing so used language which elicited congratulations from many senators. The Idaho senator expressed deep regret that the race question had been brought into the controversy and asserted that its introduction was intended only to imperil the resolution. He began this portion of the address by paying his respects to the northern states. "I wonder how long the north is going to play the hypocrite and the moral coward on this question," he said, and added that that section always had assumed more wisdom and more tolerance in dealing with this problem than had been displayed elsewhere. He insisted that a call of the roll of the northern states in which there is any appreciable number of Negroes would demonstrate that the north had not dealt more leniently with the Negro than had other sections. "The northern states have exhibited the same race prejudice that has been shown elsewhere," he asserted. "In the north we burn the Negre at the stake, and there, as in other sections, we have our race wars. We push our Negroes to the outer edge of the industrial world. We exhibit the same intolerance that is apparent in the southland." "The Negro is beginning to realize that the white man of the north is of the sam race as the white man of the South, and that in his blood is the virus of dominion and power. He should know that while his slave chains have been broken the cains of industry are being forged around him and will continue to hold him unless he himself can break them. This badge was placed upon him by his Maker and it can be removed only by the Negro himself, with the aid of those who have the courage to tell him the truth, which is that we have the power to guarantee to him the equal protection of the law and to protection against discrimination. To at tempt anything more would be rude to the colored man and demoralizing to the white political body. He must work out the problem under the constitution." UNTO HIS LITTLE ONES. There was an ex-soldier who when upon his death couch, was heard to exclaim Beno! Beno!!" his nurse answered, the ex-soldier continued Beno! Beno!! answered the nurse here am I. But he said I am speaking to the Lord, when I was a soldier in the Philippine islands I chance to see a child laying by the way side I rode by with no particular attention, the next day on my return home I saw the same child near the identical spot, lying on his face slowly eating sand for its last meal before death, I took him to my quarters. His heart had, all but ceased beating; when it seems that death was near, we gave him treatment, necessary to nurse him back to life. Within a few days, he was on his way to recovery. He was one year old then, but is nearing eight now. My record is being looked up in Heaven the Lord is asking me the name of the boy, and I am telling him his name is Beno. He is telling me in as much as I have done it unto one of these, His little ones I have done it unto Him.—Southern Christian Recorder. LINES OF THOUGHT. Temptation always comes garbed in its best apparel. Growing about it will not bring back a lost opportunity. To be neat and orderly is a young man's best recommendation. Giving one a piece of your mind isn't the proper sort of liberal mindedness. Happiness is merely the silper-lined side of sorrow. Ruling passions are the ones max permits to have full swing.

There are no falter set of men on earth than the doctors, and when they find they have been in error they are usually apt to make honest and manly admission of the fact. A case in point is that of a practitioner, one of the good old school, who lives in Texas. His plain, unvarnished tale needs no dressing up: "I had always had an intense prejudice, which I can now see was unwarrantable and unreasonable, against all muchly advertised foods. Hence, I never read a line of the many 'ads' of Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food till hast winter. "While in Corpus Christi for my health, and visiting my youngest son, who has four of the ruddiest, healthiest little boys I ever saw, I ate my first dish of Grape-Nuts food for supper with my little grandsons. "I became exceedingly fond of it and have eaten a package of it every week since, and find it a delicious, refreshing and strengthening food, leaving no ill effects whatever, causing noructations (with which I was formerly much troubled), no sense of fullness, nausea, nor distress of stomach in any way. "There is no other food that agrees with me so well, or sits as lightly or pleasantly upon my stomach as this does. "I am stronger and more active since I began the use of Grape-Nuts than I have been for 10 years, and am no longer troubled with nausea and indigestion." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Look in pkgs, for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." Ever read the above letter! A new pno appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. OF INTEREST TO OUR WOMEN VALUE OF INITIALS. Nothing gives so distinctive a touch as initials. Whether in silver, stationery, handkerchiefs or household linen, amonogram or initials enhances the value of a gift. There is much difference in engraving, so it pays to get your silver or jewelry where you know artistic marking is done. Letter and note paper for formal correspondence is invariably marked. Most women have several dies, one with their address for business and ordinary correspondence, the other with monogram or crest for personal notes. Just now the letters woven into circles, diamonds or oblongs and placed at the upper left hand corner of note paper or card are extremely popular. Conservative women remain true to the three-black or paper or at left hand corner. The hostess who entertains frequently has her monogram or crest stamped on gilt or silver-edge place cards, which are kept always on hand for emergencies. The dies from one's monogram paper can be used, the stamping being done in gold or silver unless to match a special decoration. A 25-cent handkerchief will take quite a new air if the initials of the owner are embroidered on it. The lettering for ordinary ones is in small, plain letters across one corner; for more elaborate ones a monogram or initials inside a medillion is preferred. Bureau covers, table scarfs; linen pillow slips, and centerpices which can be picked us cheaply at white sales will look vastly better if marked with initials. Bolster rolls of plain linen are better looking if they have three five-inch initials worked in the middle. They should be heavily padded to stand in hold relief. A HEALTH HINT. Flax seed is known to be very nutritious and healthful, but, has anyone tried using it in graham or whole wheat muffins as a cure for constipation? The flax seed gives such a fine nutty flavor that one would suppose they were eating nut cake. It is really a delicious combination and for thin people nothing could be better. It acts wonderfully on the howels. MENDING KNITWEAR. To mend knit underwear baste a piece of underwear or anything you have to mend it with on flat on the wrong side and stitch on the machine, using a fairly long, loose stitch. Then stitch around the hole on the right side and trim away the frayed edges and edges of the patch carefully with the scissors, close to tap stitching. TO RENEW FURNITURE. Before you paint or varnish the dingy pieces of furniture or woodwork, melt equal parts of beeswax and sealing wax together to form a paste, rub it into the nail holes and crack and smooth with a dull knife; then paint over it. This is a cabinet maker's secret and a good one. NEW HOSE SUPPORTERS. When the rubber is worn off of the part of the supporter just above the little kijob put, there to protect the stocking, take a little rubber hand and wrap it a number of times around the worn rubber, and it will be the same as when new. This will make the garters which were otherwise useless wear a great deal longer. SANDPAPER GRANITE WARE. When granite ware becomes crusty and burned, clean it by rubbing with sandpaper, after whica rub with a scouring powder. The result will be a new article without injury to the ware. When applying stove polish, whether of the liquid or paste variety, use a small paint brush for it does not soil the hands and reaches all the corners and the little seams sohard to get at any other way. The brush when not in use should be kept in a cupful of water to prevent it hardening. A CANNED FRUIT HINT. When you plan to nave canned fruit for a meal you think that that is so quick and easy that it can be left to the last minute, don't you? This is a mistake, for canned fruit is greatly improved by standing at least an hour in the air, thus restoring the oxygen and making it much richer. BABY'S QUILT. Get one and one-half yards of white eiderdown, if three-quarters of a yard wide, so that when it is folded over it makes a perfect square. Sometimes you can get it in remnant length, which comes cheaper. Turn in edges and buttonhole stitch all around with blue or pink wool, then make little bows of the same color baby ribbon and sew on here and there instead of the wool knots. It makes a warm quilt and is much easled to wash than cotton ones ```markdown ``` A NEW GAME. Games, which have for a long time been taboo as a means of entertainment for people in society, are beginning to be revived. Some are most amusing and can be successfully used. One of the best of these is the Japanese fight. Let your players divide into two sides. Each side must have a den. These dens are made by curving over a large sheet of cardboard at each end of the room. Stretch a tape across the middle of the room, and on it place one feather of different colors, and give each player a Japanese fan, with the word that each is to be ready for the fight. Let the two sides now face one another on either side of the tape, two opposing players being opposite each teacher. At a given signal the fight begins. The object is to waft the feathers into their opponents' dens. When a feather is blown into a den he who loses it pays a forfeit and he and his conqueror are onlookers until the end. Den keepers are appointed and have a lively time keeping the dens from being invaded. It Japanese fans and fathers ar not available, pieces of colored tissue paper may be substituted for the feathers and folded newspapers for the fans. TO SAVE CHAMOIS GLLOVES. No matter how carefully one may wash and stretch, cannols gloves, often a finger or thumb is impossible to get on without tearing. Wet the finger of glove with a little warm water and it will go on without trouble. Press with a clean towel and it will dry quickly. CATCH DUST FROM FURNACE. A vast amount of dusting is saved if damp clothes are spread over each register just before the furnace fire is shaken. The dust artisen from the ashes is thus prevented from sitting over the entire house. If water pipes are painted with glycerine they will not freeze during cold nights. TO REMOVE NUT MEATS WHOLE. Those who have experienced difficulty in removing the meats whole from pecan nuts will be glad to learn this may be accomplished by soaking the nuts over night in cold water. This causes them to expand and when cracked the meats may be removed whole. TO PROTECT PRESSES. To protect best dresses from furnace dust and general dirt accumulation, use the widest pillow tubing Sew up one end and put draw strings in the other. Use a coat hanger to retain shape. A whole suit can be slipped into the tubing, and kept perfectly clean. MEND WITH PLASTER Often one will tear a hole in a good garment where needle work will show. If it is small and will meet, place a piece of court plaster on wrong side, dampen, and place a good warm-iron on it. If large, place a piece of goods same as garment first, then the court plaster. EGGS FOR MARKET. When you sell eggs you should see that each one is clean and nice to look at. When water will not remove the stains that sometimes get on eggs, use strong vinegar. BOSTON APPLE PIE, WITH CREAM CHEESE. Line a pie plate with good crust, then fill with tart apples, stewed, pressed through a ricer and sweetened to taste. Season with nutmeg or cinnamon. Press a cream cheese through a ricer and add to it a scant cup of rich cream, whipped stiff. Season lightly with salt. Put this into a pastry bag or stiff paper funnel and press on to the top of the pie in fancy patterns. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. An India rubber hot-water bottle is casily cleaned. Wash it well with luke-warm water and soap, rubbing on the soap with a piece of flannel. Remove grease stains by saturating the spots with alcohol rather than benzine. Alcohol does not leave a ring around the spot afterward. Wash with cold water. Place the torn part in a embroidery hoop. Remove pressure foot from machine and you can then stitch back and forth without turning the curtain around. Mint phosphate is a hot weather refreshment. Crush springs of fresh pepermint, cover them with powdered sugar, add lemon juice, a little phosphate, slices of orange and pineapple, and some candled charries and and dilute with crushed ice and water. It pipe clay is dissolved in the water the linen is thoroughly cleaned with half the labor and fully a saving of one-fourth of soap and the clothes will be improved in color equally as if bleached. The pipe clay softens the hardest water. A cent's worth to four gallons of water is enough. ```markdown ``` SOUTH THE PLACE FOR NEGRO RACE Booker T. Washington Makes Notable Address to Both Races in Which He Reviews the Position of the Negro in the Southland. A RACE ITS OWN ARCHITECT. Augusta, Ga. —(Special.)—Booker T. Washington came to Augusta, and carried all before him. He is unquestionably the greatest living Negro, and one of the world's forceful and sensible speakers. Hundreds and hundreds of people, both white and colored, flocked to hear him. Included in this number were some of Augusta's leading white ladies for whom special provision was made. Among the white citizens present might be mentioned the following: Dr. M. Ashby Jones, Rev. Joseph R. Sevler, Dr. H. M. DuBose, Rev. B. Fraiser, Rev. Howard T. Cree, Judge Henry C. Hammond, Mr. Lawton B. Evans, Maj. Harry Hammond of Beach Island, S. C., Maj. J. C. C. Black, Hon. A. L. Franklin, Mr. David Slusky, Mr. Moses Slusky, and thirty or forty other distinguished white citizens. Several people could not gain access to the building, and remained patiently on the outside for nearly two hours just to get a glimpse of the famous Negro. Dr. C. T. Walker presided, and made a timely and appropriate address. Every mention of Doctor Washington's name by Doctor Walker was received with round after round of applause. He called Washington the "Moses of the Negro race;" he said he was "the greatest Negro in the world, living or dead;" and expressed the gratitude that everybody felt in having him turn aside from his busy and active life to come help a struggling school. After having kept the people roaring with laughter and cheering for ten or fifteen minutes, and when everybody was feeling good, Doctor Walker presented President John Hope, of the Atlanta Baptist college, who introduced Doctor Washington in a few words. Doctor Washington was at his best. He has spoken in Augusta three or four times before, but he was never in better trim and never made a better speech than this one. It abounded in wit and humor, and was not a bit tiresome. All Washington's addresses are characterized by common sense and with a great degree of human nature. They get right next to a man, and make a fellow feel what the speaker is saying. Among other things, Doctor Washington said on the following: "I am angled to be in the city of Augusta again. It is always refreshing to get into typical conservative but culture and intelligent southern community. In such a community the very best relations exist as a rule between black man and white man, and in Augusta this relationship is exemplified in a rare degree. "I come here at the special invitation of Dr. C. T. Walker, a man whom I honor and respect, a man who is known and respected throughout, the United States, a man whom President Taft often speaks of in the highest terms of commendation, and I am glad to know and hear that Doctor Walker has the respect and confidence of his neighbors of both races in this city. I am glad to come here to speak a word in behalf of the institution of which he is the head, and to command the sensible work which he has done and is doing. Doctor Walker, Bishop Williams. Doctor Williams and men of their type not only represent the possibilities of our race, but they are people who represent our race in conservative and sensible directions and assist in maintaining friendly relations between black man and white man. No one need ever be afraid that men of the character of Doctor Walker will say or do a foot-thing. A country that will, with Prof. Otis Ashmore, superintendent of the public school of Chatham, Ga., struck the keynote in a speech delivered before the Farmers' conference at the Georgia State Industrial college, Savannah, Ga., some time ago, when he said: "That the colored people, like all people, must learn the lesson of self-reliance; that their destiny rests in their own hands." He admonished them to "quit looking to others and depend upon themselves; that God helps those who help themselves. This is the true solution of our ultimate destiny in this country or any other country. Any race is what it makes itself, no more, no less. This has been true since the world began. It must come from within rather than from without." Hence, when reduced to its last analysis, it amounts to this: What have we, as a race, decided to make ourselves? Have we decided to become industrious, self-reliant, intelligent, thrifty and self-respecting? If A SUGGESTION. In view of the many exposures of hort weights and measures, why do we persist in teaching children things in school that they will have to unlearn when they go into business for themselves? Why not revise the tables in the arithmetic to read: 14 ounces make a pound. 80 pounds make a hundredweight. 1,500 pounds make a ton. 11 inches make a foot. 33 inches make a yard. 1½ gills make a pint. in a few years after slavery, produco such men as these is a country and is a community, that we should be proud of. We of both races in the South have suffered much by reason of the fact that the worst that occurs in the South is spread speedily in all parts of the world, while the best things which are constantly occurring in each community are seldom known outside of that community. I was born in the South, have always lived in the South, and intend for all time to make this my home. Here in the South my race has an opportunity that it does not have in an equal degree in any other part of the world. It has been my privilege to travel in nearly every portion of America, and I have inspected the condition of the working class of people of the old countries of Europe, but nowhere have I found conditions more hopeful and encouraging for a working class of people that I find for my race right here in the heart of the South. I want to urge every colored man to get to the point where he will settle down and become a definite, a permanent and useful part of some community. A shiftless, roving, unemployed Negro is of not value to himself, and is a disgrace to our race. In the matter of labor our race has an advantage in the South which I sometimes fear it does not rightly appreciate. In the old countries of Europe and in many of the large cities of the North people for a large part of the year are without work; they walk the streets day by day, seeking employment and cannot find it. In our case, no Negro who wants to find work need go without it. On the other hand, in most cases, instead of the black man having to seek labor, labor seeks him. And then here in the South the Negro is not shut out, as in many other parts of the country, from skilled labor. In many countries of the world people who have the same degree of civilization work when they can only get from 15 to 20 cents a day for their labor. In every part of the Southland we get many times that much money per day for our labor. But we must not be content as a race of people to merely occupy a field of labor because no one can be secured at present to take our place. We want to see to it that whatever service we engage in is performed so well, so intelligently, so skillfully and conscientiously that people will not desire to have any one take our places. No matter what we engage in, whether farming, mechanical work, cooking, table serving, laundering or what not, is should be done so well that the people who employ us will feel that they cannot dispense with our service. In some parts of the country, as laborers our people have a weakness for not keeping their word, for not being depended upon to report for labor promptly. To be more exact, employers too often feel that the Negro may be at his place of work only a few days out of the six days in the week. This reputation hurts our entire race. From the beginning every boy and girl should be taught in school or elsewhere the dignity of labor; should be taught that it is not disgrace to do any kind of work with the hands; should be taught that working in the field or in the shop or in the kitchen is just as honorable as teaching school or preaching the gospel. Along by the side of proper methods of work I would put the importance those quettions are answered by the little word "yes," the first step in the solution has been taken. And if that has been decided affirmatively once for all, we need have no fear as to our future, for it is assured as certain as a just God presides over the destinies and fortunes of nations and races. It matters very little about what others wish, or do not wish of us; whether others wish us success or disaster; whether they wish us good or ill. We have these inherent qualities within and are determined by our own exertion to make ourselves men and women, then victory is ours. Success will perch on our banner; no outside force can or will desire to keep us back; for those who try to help themselves and are law-abiding and self-supporting, God will raise up friends for them, and those who are for us will be more than those who are against us. Let us see to it that our part is well done; that we are working out CURRENT COMMENT. Switzerland is to invite the nations to a conference on the subject of improving the calendar.

I advise each one to whom I speak to start a bank account just as soon as possible: If this bank account is started with only a few cents or a few dollars, put that money in the bank and add to it week by week, month by month. A bank account will help turn an inefficient, lazy individual into an industrious and prosperous individual. The larger a bank account a man gets, the harder he will work in order to make it still larger. I have found no portion of the South where the best white people are not ready and anxious to encourage our people to save money, to buy property, to settle down and lead straightforward, honest, useful lives: We must use our influence to get rid of the idle, vicious element of our race. Wherever racial friction occurs, wherever are outbreaks, mobs and lynching bees, in most cases, this trouble arises by reason of the fact that there is a large element of idle people. Every man who is in idleness on the street corner, who does not earn his daily bread, is not only a 'disgrace to our people, but a financial burden upon the community. In a country like this there is no need-why any man or woman need live in idleness. We must learn to set a high moral standard for our people and see that it is lived up to. Every immoral preacher, every immoral teacher, every leader of any character should be gotten rid of, and we must let the world understand that we no longer nix moral and immoral. We are going to live together in the South as black people and white people. We can live separately socially and are going to do so. No sensible Negro desires to have social intermingling with the white people of the South. What the Negro is interested in is to be sure that his life, liberty and property are protected by the officers of the law. If the Negro is to be punished when he falls to obey the law, if he is to be punished when, for example, he fails to pay his taxes, when he commits murder, or when he steals, we should be sure at the same time that in his youth the Negro has opportunity to prepare himself so that he will know what the law is. This can only be done through some process of education. There are some directions in which no color line can be drawn. Flith draws no color line. Disease draws no color line. If a Negro, by reason of his ignorance of the laws of health, carries about in his body the germs of consumption, of smallpox, of the disease, known as the hookworm, these germs will spread from his body to that of the white people by whose side he lives. Negro women prepare and serve the food of white people. Negro woman launder the clothes of the white people; Negro women nurse the babies of the white people. In a word, Negroes touch the white man at almost every vital point in his life. If the Negro is ignorant as to the laws of health, she can convey disease to the white man's family through her unwashed hands, or unwashed body, or the most deadly germs can be taken to the house of the white man by reason of the fifth of the cabin in which the white man's clothes are laundered. At the close of the speaking Doctor Washington made an earnest appeal for support of the work being done at the Walker Baptist Institute in this city. The collection resulted in several hundred dollars in cash and subscriptions. our own temporal salvation by getting property, education and characters, and cultivating friendly relations with the people with whom we must come in daily contact, and stop looking so much to governors and presidents to fix our destiny; for it may be that they can aid or retard our progress to some extent by legislation, but, after all is sand and done, it must depend entirely upon ourselves as to what we shall be and become.

Marci H, 1911 a A community that is infested with anumber of sore heads will ney er become progressive. If you can’t do, or if you are able to and will not do, support those who will do. That’s the way to act. Don’t be, a “knocker” but be- come a full-fledged “booster.” You will feel better and at the same time you will be doing good. A healthy sentiment for busi- ness progress, the improvement along intellectual and social lines vould work wonders for good in this community. Our children should be taught to read race literature, The journals published by members of the race, should not be ignored. In each locality its citizens should take pride in supporting unstint ingly jts race paper. Our white neighbors are blessed by constantly having well-known and able lecturers to speak before them. This pleasure the intel- lectual Negro in this community can not enjoy. This condition should not so obtain here. For instance if the State College was under the proper management, in fact if its head and faculty were more cordial with the citizens, efforts could be made to haye a fine lecture course in its chapel each season that would be sup- ported by the citizens. It is hoped though that the condition will not Jong exist, and some day relief will be given. The colored business men are standing in their own light and missing golden opportunities by not letting the people know about their business. They should not content themselves by only opening their doors with a fair stock of goods and think that the people will flock in and buy sim- ply because they are colored. They must advertise. Let ‘the people know what bargains they have to offer and above all let it be. known where they can be found. Learn the, advertising method. Publicity is the food for success. Immediately following the pas- sage by the city council, Wednes- day night an ordinance making loitering on any street corner or public place an offense by law the police got busy the next morning and began making arrests. They are waging avery active campaign against violators of this new ordi- nance and up to yesterday morning about seventy-three arrests had been made. But the deplorable part of this campaign so far has been that only Negroes have been made to feel its effects. The law in general says that any one who shall be found loitering about the city shall be arrested. It does not specify any particular color or class of men and it is supposed that the white vagrants and loiter ers will be as speedily dealt with as the black but so far they have en- tirely escaped the yigilance of the police, Weare deeply in sympa- thy with the passage of both the ragrant and loitering ordinances but we want fair treatment in this affair and donot relish the discrimi- nation which the police are practic- ing in arresting only Negro viola- tors of this ordinance. here are oundreds of white bums and va- grants infesting the streets of Sa- yannah flagrantly violating both the vegrantand loitering ordinances and we shall be pleased if the po- lice authorities would direct their men to arrest these white violators atthe same-time they are rounding up the offending Negroes, Some days ago a young man wishing to purchase a certain commodity whith was having a rather heavy sale on the market decided that he would like to get this article from one of our color- ed stores and thereby add to the regular patronage of this place one more customer. So immedi- ately upon this decision he went to this particular place of busi- ness and asked for the article de: cided but with a pert reply of the silesman, who by the way hap- pened to be the proprietor, was told that he did not carry the de- sifed goods. Then the young man wishing to know the nearest place where he might secure this article asked the proprietor for the desired information only to be told in short cutting words that he knew of no such place and abruptly turned aside to scanning the morning's papers. The next place visited by this young man in pursuit of the desired commo- dity happened to be run by 2 young man of the opposite race and after asking for this article was told thatifhe would wait a minute or two he would send his porter for it and in less time than is required to relate this incident the young man was on his way home and was made a regular patron of the latter place rather than the former even though the Negro’s store was his choice at first. This little incident is far reaching in its effect and forces us to ask ourselves if this cold and indifferent treatment by many of our men of business is not the| reason for non-patronage and the subsequent failures of many enter- prises among us. If we wish to, suceeed in business and have the unstinted patronage of the people theri we must cultivate the habit of making every customer that patronizes out places of business feel that he is the one patron we wish to keep but if we are indif- ferent of success then Jet us adopt the freezing out process such as is related here and it'll not be many ages when there'll be no need of our business. The great- est requisite for successful business is courteous and polite treatment’ and without it we cannot hope to succeed.

E. D.

E. D. Davis, pastor af First Tabernacle Baptist Church, Hunt- ingdon street west, this city. The mem- bers of the above ‘named church who through their faithfulness stood so loyal saw fit just seven months ago ta cali a Pastor ivho would through ‘God's, help and his untiring efforte lift the chur out its lethargy to which bad_manage- ment had caused it to fall But there ‘stood some untiring workers who could ‘not afford to see their dear old Zion erushed out of existence. Therefore after due consideration and much de- deliberation the faithful few called that prince of preachers, Rev. E. D. Davis, who took the helm of Tabernacle’s ship, and through his push and energy has dug the church ont of debt and today her colors can be seen flying to the breeze clear of debt while peace and harmony reign among pastor and members, We feel that we do justice to the church and credit to our convictions when we stop from the busy toil of life to say a word of com- mendation of one so deserving as_our beloved pastor. We do not speak of him through, favoritism, far be that from us, Well db we know that as time speeds on man like the seasons changes and af times we sce the bright side, and ‘at other times it prows so dark that one can hardly see his way, Thus you:,see we bespeakthe sentimentsof qur hearts Gis Ene Dae Thvieken wen for hie Pendleton will make a special address to the people concerning the great work of the Associated Charities in the city.

The afternoon was an eventful one, and all that was said and done gave inspiration for the advance- ment of the order. The communion service on last Suey marked a. glori- dus day. Two candidates were baptiz- ed at the early morning service, and fellowshipped at the communion service inthe afternoon. ‘The pastor was at his best all day and preached very ac- ceptably at each service.

It was not all. done under a cloudless sky but he kept the old ship facing the storm.

A beautiful wedding was that of Miss Alberta Bacon and Mr. Andrew Johnson which occurred at St. James A. M. E. Church Wednesday night March 1st. The church was beautifully decorated with vines, potted plants and cut flowers. An arch was made of similac and vines with a tall vase of carnations on a center table. The bridal party entered the church to the strains of of Mendelssohn's wedding march rendered by Miss Catehrine Alexander. The two little flower girls Mamie Gilmore and Corien Champim wore dainty white dresses trimmed with lace and ribbon and carried baskets of white roses which were strewn over the bridal path. The bride was attended by Mrs. Olivia Dennis as matron of honor. She wore an exquisite blue mul trimmed with lace. The bride's maid, Miss Marie Davis, was beautifully gowned in white lingerie stylishly trimmed with lace and ribbon, she carried a bouquet of pink roses. Mr. Willie Truel acted as best man. The bride wore a beautiful dress made in one piece of persian lace and ribbon over white satin and veiled in tulle held together with orange blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet of bridal roses and lilies of the valley. She entered with her father, Mr. Grant Bacon, by whom she was given away. The impressive ceremony was performed by Rev. P. W. Greatheart. After the ceremony an informal reception was held at the home of the bride's parents. And Ms. Johnson are residing at the Hall street east. An Ideal Lad Gone to Rest One of the most pathetic funerals of recent days was that of Master Henry Remond Meller, son of Mr. and Mrs. Merrick R. Miller, 324 East 32nd Street, which took place on Monday afternoon from St. Stephen's Episcopal Church amid a large concourse of friends and acquaintances. The deceased had been ill of typhoid fever for over two weeks and died on Saturday after he had been given the best of care by his beloved parents and friends. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Richard Bright and the youthful pall bearers Andrew McDowell, Edgar Habersham, Louis Tucker, Mell Tucker, John Jones Allen Dingle, Culan Parks and Robert Hernandez Jr., presented a scene which added doubly to the sadness of the occasion. The deceased was the oldest of the three children of Mr. and Mrs. Miller and was born in Newport R. I., on July 6th, 1896. He was a great grand nephew of Chas. L. Remond the first Negro to take the platform as a regular lecturer in the anti-slavery cause and was no doubt the ablest representative the race had till the appearance of Frederick Douglas. He was a gallant little fellow, very many in his bearing, a favorite among his playmates and a most affectionate child in general. The floral offerings were many and beautiful and attested the high esteem in which the little fellow was held. The Tribune joins the many friends of the family in extending to them their deepest sympathy in this their hour of bereavement. Concert at Second Baptist Church.

Samuel J. Howard. Savannah, Ga., Feb. 15, 1911. To P. G. M. Council No. 60, G. U. O. of O. F. Greeting : We your committee, that was appointed to draft resolutions on the death of P. G. Ms. Carolina Gillins, G. B. Young. H. L. Logan, submit the following : Whereas it pleased the Divine Providence to remove from our midst P. G. Ms., C. Gillins, H. L. Logan, and G. B. Young, and whereas the intimate relations held by the deceased brothers with the members of this council have been severed it is but proper that we should place on our records, our appreciation of their service and association as P. G. Ms. and their merits as men. Therefore be it Resolved by P. G. M. Council 60, G. U. O. of O. F., that while we bow in humble submission to the will of our heavenly Father we do mourn the loss for our brethren who have been called from the stage of action to give account of their stewardship. Resolved, That in the death of Bros. C. Gillins, G. B. Young, H. L. Logan, that this council and the order have lost brothers who were always active in the work, ever ready to help the needy and distressed, devoted to its principles, welfare and prosperity and who were upright men, their virtues endowing them to the members of the order. Therefore be it again Resolved that this Council tender its heartfelt sympathy to the families of our deceased brothers in their sad 'afflictions and be it further Resolved that these resolutions be spread on the minutes of our Council and that a copy of them be sent to the families of deceased brethren. Respectfully, W. S. Rounfield, A. J. Williams, R. Barnes, Committee. THEIR IDEAL REALIZED.

TO THE ODD FELLOWS OF GEORGIA LET US ALL PULL FOR $50,000 MAY 14, 1911 P. S.—Remember, Brethren and Sisters, the Rally Day is just 90 days off from the date of this writing----February 14th. --- Opportunity knocks at every man's door once in a lifetime; and the same is true as relates to woman. The privilege of giving a freewill offering or thanksgiving gift or whatever we may call it, of fifty thousand dollars on May the 14th, (the second Sunday) is a blessed opportunity that is knocking at the door of every brother and sister in Georgia today. It says, "Open the door and come out on the second Sunday and give freely as the Lord hath given unto you." For all these years God has blessed the Odd Fellows and the Households of Ruth in Georgia, and, yet, this is the first time we have had an opportunity to show our love and appreciation for their principles, and the great good done by making a thanksgiving offering to build a house to stand, not only as a monument to the Order, but as an honorable investment to bring in funds to help pay our widows and children when we are numbered with the fathers. The time has finally come when we, as members of this great fraternity, are called upon to demonstrate our regard for the middle link in our chain. If we love one another and love the Order and desire to see it planted so deep in the soil of prosperity that none of the storms of financial adversity shall be able to uproot it, then come up like good, faithful, loyal Odd Fellows and free men and sisters of the Household, on the second Sunday in May, our Thanksgiving Day, and lay on the tables fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), and upon God's altars the prayers and thanks from the heart of every Odd Fellow and inmate of the Household of Ruth, in the State, because He hath spared us and enabled us to thus do our duty. Let every Odd Fellow and inmate of the Household do his and her duty on the second Sunday in May. Let every division be well organized and let every division member rally ```markdown ``` My Dear Brethren: Opportunity knocks time; and the same is true inilege of giving a freewheather we may call it, 14th, (the second Sunday knocking at the door of today.

The Grand Secretary has sent to each of subordinate lodges of record a copy of the Grand Lodge call, a blank return and a credential blank. The worshipful masters of the lodges must call upon the secretaries and have them to present these papers at the regular communication of the lodge. If any secretary has failed to receive these blanks, let them write the Grand Secretary for another set. We are anxious for each lodge to receive a call and prepare in time to render a full report. This report must be in the office of the Grand Secretary before May 1. Let us all do our full duty in this respect. In the Dutch lodges the initiate is presented with two pairs of white gloves, one for himself and one for the lady nearest and dearest to his heart, and he is told that while we do not admit them to our lodges, we hold them in the highest esteem; as white is an emblem of purity, so we aim, by the white gloves, to convey the purity of our thoughts and actions towards them.—Exchange. The "contentious person," like the poor, we have always with us. He has been in the family from the days when Cain and Abel began their brotherly differences, and we have not yet succeeded in casting him out of our Masonic Garden of Eden. No doubt the brotherly and Masonic way is not to cast him out, but to convert him into a peaceful, amiable and desirable citizen.—New York Masonic Standard. Just as the gray granite mountain peaks reveal to the traveler, even at a good distance, the general trend and direction of the chain, so there have been some lives in the history of the world that have risen so splendidly above their surroundings that they point out clearly the great trend of humanity's progress, upward and onward, toward the great heart of our Father, God; and among these, standing forth in all its rugged grandeur, defying the wrecks of time and the passing of centuries, we behold the simple beauty, the resistless influence and power of our beloved saint, John the Baptist.—Brother Frank G. Smith. A Louisiana lodge rejected a petition for initiation on the ground that the applicant stuttered in his speech He was afterward accepted in another lodge, which first secured a waiver of jurisdiction from the first lodge. A protest was made to the Grand Lodge. The committee to whom the protest was referred, stated that the only ob- jection to the candidate seemed to be that he stuttered, and observed: "If this objection to the admission of an applicant were a good one, the brother of the first High Priest that ever lived would have been shut out of the tabernacle, for we are told in the Great Light that Moses stuttered so badly that God commanded Aaron to go with him as an interpreter of what he was saying or trying to say."—Masonic Standard. It is doubtful whether there has ever been devised by man a system that has the power over the human mind in the whole range of its passion that Masonry has so often, so instantaneously, so magically and so humanely exerted. The Masonic appeal of distress has never been made in vain to any one who understood the Mystic Tie. Even in our Civil war, when brother and father and son fought under different flags, there was no termination of fraternal connections between Masonic bodies. Ever since that fearful struggle there have been Christian churches professing the same creed divided on the question of slavery, so that after nearly fifty years we still have Northern and Southern Methodists, Northern and Southern Presbyterians and Northern and Southern Baptists. Masonry stood the test, knowing no North, no South, no East, or West, rising sublimely above all with a grandeur peculiarly its own. So may it ever be!—Exchange. The race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. It is not the man who hurries through the whole catalogue of Masonic degrees who approaches nearest a true understanding and appreciation of the beauty of the Masonic lessons. Speed is often destructive. It certainly nullifies to a great extent the effect of our teachings. While it is all very commendable for a man to desire to learn all that Masonry has to offer and to probe every degree for what it can yield to his search, yet the well known fact remains that the man who goes through Masonry with the greatest rapidity knows the least about it, after all. It must have time to permeate his whole being to attain the wished-for effect. Nowadays a man may rush through the first degree to the thirty-second in a remarkably short space of time. He is not retarded, he is even encouraged in his haste, and yet that very haste produces unhealthy Masonry.—Masonic News. Be Fraternal. We should be more fraternal on all occasions. It is only too frequent we --- J. DR. H. R. BUTLER, P. N. F. and Sisters, the R this writing--- show an unfriendly disposition to a brother outside the lodge room where the world can see our actions. Naturally a stranger would say: "If that is Masonry I don't want any of it in mine," or something to that effect. Never speak ill of a brother Masoh, but defends his character in public as well as private until it is proven beyond the peradventure of a doubt the brother has committed some wrong unbecoming a Mason or against the laws of our country. I don't believe any man should be allowed to hide under the cloak of Masonry who willfully commits a wrong. But I do believe, as Masons, we should be thoroughly satisfied that a brother has committed some grave offense before we pass judgment. Oftentimes what to our dim eyes may seem a stain may prove a scar, won on some hard-fought battlefield where we would faint and yield. Be fraternal. Greet your brothers in a fraternal way. A kind word costs you nothing. It may save some poor brother from the downward road to ruin. Never lose an opportunity to do a kindly act or a generous deed. Health Value of a Whistle. Boys should be encouraged to whistle. It's a good thing for the lungs and can be made something of an accomplishment by daily practise. To learn to whistle musically one must begin with the scales and then by combination of sharps and flats. After a time a single song may be tried with piano accompaniment. It is surprising what a range of music can be whistled. One can turn from a bass solo to a tenor selection without effort. Band music can be whistled. Any selection for the voice can be chirped through puckered lips. It is said that whistling boys are seldom troubled with bronchitis or pneumonia. Many medical men urge patients with weak lungs to whistle as often and as much as they possibly can without causing positive annoyance. Will Study the Trades. The Woman's Municipal league of Boston, of which Mrs. Richard C. Cabot is the chairman of education department, has begun a study of the vocation of women, the idea being to find out by systematic research what the opportunities for women are in each vocation.

Finally, my brethren and sisters, let me say that the building of our headquarters is one of the safest business propositions and investments made by our Order and will be a cause for great rejoicing in every section of the jurisdiction, because of the handsome income it will bring in monthly, which will go far towards reducing assessments and taxes in the near future to meet death claims that must come and increase as the years go by, because of the increased age of the brethren. I say it is a safe investment. TURKEYS. ETC. to his and her Deputy and see to it that every member in the division has his and her dollar or more; then, let every Deputy rally to the Grand Master, B. S. Ingram, the Grand Secretary, B. J. Davis, Sister R. L. Barnes, and their staff of officers in this worthy effort, and when the sun sets in the west on May the 14th, believe me, we will have presented to our Grand officers, for their noble cause, fifty thousand dollars. This should be done; it can be done, and it will be done. It has been said by some one that there would be members who would not give their dollar; but I wish it to be plainly understood that I, for one, do not believe we have an Odd Fellow or an inmate of the Household on the financial rolls in Georgia that will FAIL to give his or her dollar for our cause on May the 14th, and even more. That is the faith I have in my brother Odd Fellows and the inmates of the Household in Georgia. I say again, let us all pull together and roll up fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) the second Sunday in May( the 14th). With love, good wishes and a will to do my part and faith in every Odd Fellow and inmate of the Household to do their parts, I am, Yours in F., L. and T., H. R. BUTLER, P. N. F.
