The Savannah Tribune. V0 . XXVI. CONDEMNED BY HIS RACE; NEGROES DEPRECATE CRIME SPARTANBURG, S. C., RACE LEAD ERS DEPLORE ACTION. OF COLORED MAN. Negroes Show Their Hatred For one of the Races by Adopting. Resolutions. Spartanburg, S. C.—(Special.)—Deploring the occurrence here when a Negro attempted to commit criminal assault upon the person of a well known and prominent white woman of this city, and realizing the fact that such a crime not only reflected on the guilty Negro, but upon the entire race as well, and desiring to publicly denounce the savage criminal, the pastor and congregation of Trinity African Methodist church, a Negro church of this city, has passed resolutions and requested that they be given the same publicity that the crime itself was. Calling the criminal an ignorant and depraved one of the lowest and basest type and not in anywise like the intelligent, industrious and lawabiding Negroes the resolutions "depreciate such an attempt gravely." The efforts of the Negroes to show their hatred for such a member of that race close as follows: Whereas, the city and county acted with so much coolness and respect for law and order under such trying circumstances as those of Saturday last. Whereas, so often in other places, for similar attempts the criminal is lynched and the law deprived of its rights and. Whereas, we believe ourselves to be voicing the sentiments of many lawabiding Negroes throughout Christendom, be it. Resolved: That we tender our thanks to the sheriff, officers and citizens of Shartanburg for their regard for law and order under such a reprehensible and blood stirring occurrence as that of last Saturday and further be it. Resolved that we tender our sincere sympathy to the attacked parties and wish for them a speedy recovery, and be it. Resolved that we hope for a speedy trial of the guilty party and that justice be meted him by the strong arm of the law. SCHIFF PRAISES WASHINGTON. New York Banker Spends Two Days at Tuskegee and Marvels at Institution. Tuskegee, Ala.—(Special.)—Jacob H. Schiff of New York and a party of friends completed a two days' visit to Tuskegee. Speaking to the students Mr. Schiff said: "I have long admired the work of Dr. Booker T. Washington, but now that I have seen it I cannot find words to express my gratification. It is far beyond anything that I expected to see. As I walked through your grounds my heart filled with pride to find what had been accomplished by a single man. "It is an object lesson which I shall never forget. It has been an inspiration to me, and when I return howe, I intend to send my son and my grandchildren here that they may get the same inspiration that I have. "Work," he said, "has become the blessing of the world. There is no greater happiness than that obtained through honest work. I do not pity you for your hardships; I envy you the opportunities you have here." Colored Baseball League Formed. Columbus, Ohio.—(Special.)—The Interstate Colored Baseball league was launched when delegates responded to a call issued by J. H. Settles. Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Dayton were the Ohio cities represented and Indiana got in with Richmond, Toledo, Indianapolis and Louisville are expected to line up later. After Mr. Settles got the meeting under way he declined the place as the league president and that position fell to Edward Emerson of Columbus. Walter H. Dennis of Richmond, Ind., was made vice president; Albert Hubbard, Dayton, secretary, and M. C. More, Dayton, treasurer. The colored men interested believe that they can push the league through Negro Hospital for Macon. Macon, Ga.—(Special)—Macon is to have a negro hospital operated by private parties. An organization has been formed by the negro physicists, nurses, dentists and druggists of the city, and a fund of $6,000 has been subscribed. The city will be asked for a site, and if it is secured the hospital will be built without delay. RICHMOND FIGHTING SEGREGATION ORDINANCE INTRODUCED IN COUNCIL OF VIRGINIA CITY DRAWS PROTESTS. Richmond, Va. —(Special.) —The council committee on ordinance, charter and reform of this city, by a unanimous vote recommended to the city council the Vonderlehr race segregation ordinance for this city, which restricts the ownership of property to this extent: that no white person shall reside on any block where the majority of residents are colored and that no colored people shall reside in a block where the white people are in majority. John Mitchell, editor of the Richmond Planter, and president of the Machanies Savings bank, led the opposition to this proposed law, which is meant to impede the progress of the Negro. He stated that the races is Richmond were well segregated and the increase of the Negro population was such that they had to expand their territory. Rev. Father Hannigan, who is doing a great work among Negroes in the city, made remarks against the recommendation that were significant. He spoke of the un-Caristian like attitude of the law makers. He said that the salvation of the black man's soul was according to the doctrines of his church, was as important as that of the white man, and for that reason he had devoted his life the last twenty years in Christian work among Negroes, and for which he was not ashamed. He paid a high tribute to this race and impressed the committee with the fact that he was eminently fitted in giving his opinion as to the worth of the Negro in his development. He raised a question concerning the buildings now occupied by Christian movements, which would be affected by the discriminating law. The cause of this action is because of the erection of the $100,000 bank building on Clay street, of which John Mitchell, is president, and colored people moving into that street. The colored people are determined to fight the ordinance upon its passage in the council.—Geo. F. King. WHITE MAN'S HOPE NOT NEEDED Nashville Christian Advocate Desires No Repetition of Reno Nashville, Tenn.—(Special.)—The Nashville Christian Advocate says "If the press dispatches are to be relied upon, the sporting men of Oklahoma are training a puglist for the purpose of wrestling the championship belt from Jack Johnson, the Negro who defeated Jim Jeffries. Of course the white sports did not expect Johnson to win, and when he did, the unsportsmanlike manner with which the 'dead games' received the news added volume to the disgust already manifested by the millions of people who look with disfavor upon such encounters, especially between men of different races. The defeat of Jeffries and the victory of Johnson has nothing to do with the superiority of one race or the inferiority of the other. The white race is not clamoring for 'hope' to recover the belt. It was simply a case of one man's having the boxing skill, the ability to endure pain, the ability to dodge the other fellcw's blows, and the strength to hit him hard at a psychological moment. It that had been the end of it, it would not have been so bad. A repetition is not to be desired now, and the people of Oklahoma owe it to the world at large, if not to themselves, to see that it does not occur in their state. Public sentiment should be such, especially where the color line is so rigidly drawn, as to make even the suggestion of a duplication of the Reno encounter decidedly unpopular." SURGEON'S RACE TESTS FAIL. Line on Finger Nail Only Sign A Baltimore, Md., Girl Is of Negro Origin. Baltimore, Md.—(Special.)—In an endeavor to determine scientifically the race of a child, staff physicians at Johns Hopkins Hospital made an examination of Luella Lettridge, 11 years old, who is trying to obtain her freedom from a Negro institution where she has remained for nearly seven years. The examination was made to determine for te satisfaction of the court, in which a writ of habeas corpus has been sworn out, whether the girl is a Caucasian or a Negro. The physical characteristics watch it is claimed indicate the presence of Negro blood played a large part in the examination, but it was said all the accepted tests save one had failed. That one is the presence of a black line across one of the girl's finger nails just around the arc known as the "half moon." The presence of the black line, according to the doctors, is not conclusive, but only raises a suspicion to the ancestry SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1911. Federel Barracks at Jaurez Blewn Up--Minor Fights--American Camp. El Paso, Texas.—An attempt was made to blow up the barracks at Juarez, Mexico. Two heavy charges of nitroglycerin were exploded, tearing out parts of the buildings occupied by the Mexican troops. Two of a small band of insurrectors who secretly entered town, were wounded and captured. Calexico, Mexico.—Firing from the American side of the international line, Mexican customs officials at Igodones sent a volley into the insurrectos, the latter replying by firing across the line into the American town of Andrade. No one was wounded so far as known. Douglas, Ariz.—General Blanco and his rebel force moved east of Douglas to a point four miles from the American border. Of the three wounded insurrectos carrled off the battlefield on Sunday, two are dead and the third is near death. This brings the death list of Sunday's battle to 14. Troops sent from Augua Prieta have not arrived. Mexico City.—The government received a report of the battle of Casas Grandes, in which the rebels were defeated, from Colonel Cuellar. He states that he took 40 prisoners, including 17 foreigners, and that all those are receiving humane treatment. Cuellar confirms the report that he was wounded in the arm. He says that 57 men were killed. San Diego, Cal. — The arrival of Mexican federal reinforcements numbering 150 at Tijuana, Mexico, across the line from Tla Juana, Cal., is reported. This gives Captain Nuhez, in command, about 250 men for the defense of the place. The border is reported quiet from Camp to the ocean. Captain Evans, in command on the American side, has received reinforcements, Company B of the Thirtieth Infantry having been sent by General English from this place. The Medical Corps is vaccinating the men 'of General Bliss' command against typhoid. HORSELESS FIRE ENGINE Motor-Driven Machine Goes 40 Miles an Hour. New York.—An explosion like the report of a large-bored shotgun, in front of the Fire Department repair shops here was the death knell of the horse in the fire department. The explosion came from the motor of the big new automobile fire engine, the first of its kind in the country, which the department was testing for the first time. So successful was the test that it is said within two years probably 50 per cent. of the fire engines of the city will be gasoline-propelled in five or six years, said a high official of the department, there will not be a single horse-drawn fire engine tender, truck or tower in the city. The new engine just tested is a red machine, 20 feet long, with two seats. A 110-horsepower gasoline motor equipment was in the great hood, and the rear half was a regular steam engine, guaranteed to pump 700 gallons of water a minute at a pressure of 125 pounds. The whole rested on four huge red wheels, thickly tired with solid rubber and bound with chains, with one-and-one-half-inch links to prevent skidding when it whizzes through the streets at 30 to 40 miles an hour. The testing of the new engine was witnessed not only by officials of the Fire Department here, but by others of fire departments of cities throughout the country, many of which were represented by their fire chiefs. Fire Commissioner Waldo drove the new engine 40 miles an hour and found that its pumps exceeded the guaranteed speed and strength. BANK TELLER SENTENCED Mellon, Pleading Guilty to Embezzlement. Gets Seven Years. Philadelphia, Pa.—After pleading guilty in the United States District Court here to the charge of embezzling about $7,000 from the Western National Bank of this city, Joseph P. Mellon, former paying teller of the institution, was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment in the government prison at Atlanta, Ga., by Judge McPherson. Wm. J. Bryan's Daughter to Wed. Wm. J. Bryan's Daughter To Wed. Wm. J. Bryan's Daughter To Wed. Lincoln, Neb.-Mr. and Mrs. William J. Bryan announced the betrothed of their daughter, Grace Dexter Bryan, to Richard Lewis Hargraves, of Lincoln. The marriage will take place early in June. THE PLAGUE IN MANCHURIA. A woman in a flowing dress sits on a rocky shore, her head bowed down as if she is in deep thought. The background is a vast, open landscape with a few buildings scattered in the distance. PRESIDENT DIAZ MUST STEP OUT Chief Condition of the Rebels' Terms of Peace. NO FAITH IN GOVERNMENT. Both Sides Must Meet on Equal Terms, the Insurrectos Not tc Surrender Their El Paso, Texas—Before any proposals for a termination of the Mexican insurrection will be entered into by the insurrectos, President Diaz must agree to declare null his election of 1910 and to submit to a new election under the terms for a free ballot allowed by the constitution of 1857. He must agree to grant all the political reforms demanded. The insurrectos must not be required to surrender their arms until peace is assured. This is the reply of Senor Gonzales Garza, insurrectos secretary of state, to the statement from New York that Senor Limantour, Mexican minister of finance, had formulated tentative plans for ending the insurrection. In effect it is the reply of Francisco I. Madero, the revolutionary leader, who is now fighting in the field. Madero is about 100 miles south of El Paso, with 1,000 followers. He is reported to be coming north to join General Orozco and 800 men. Whether his destination is the frontier in connection with any peace negotiations is unknown. Senor Garza, who acted here in conjunction with Braulio Hernandez, insurrectos secretary of state of Chihuahua, outlined the demands of Madero, which se said were: "Abolition of the re-election of president. "Election of the government in a state, instead of by federal appointment. "Curtailment of the powers of jefe politicos, or mayors, of cities, and provision for their selection by popular vote, instead of by appointment by the governors of states. "Reform of the land laws, so that plantations, now as extensive as from one million to ten million acres, may be divided and distributed or sold in small lots to the people. "Free ballots in all elections and preservation of individual rights under the constitution. "Extension of the school system." N. Y. C. AND PENNSY FINED Both Roads Pleaded Guilty of Giving Rebates. Buffalo. — The New York Central Railroad was fined $35,000 and the Pennsylvania Railroad $20,000 by Judge Hazel, in the United States District Court here, after attorneys for the railroads had entered pleas of guilty to granting rebates to the Standard Oil Company. The case was prosecuted by John Lord O'Brian, United States Attorney, upon indictments found in 1907. The fines were paid immediately. Warships After Hunters. Copenhagen.—The Government is sending warships to Greenland with instructions to arrest foreign walrus hunters, chiefly Americans, who are reported to be killing thousands of walrus annually. INDIQTED IN LAND CONSPIRACY Men Charged With Trying to Defraud Government--To Grab 10,000 Acres. Chicago. — Nine men, including a former railroad president, bankers, brokers and financiers, were indicted by a federal grand jury here in the Matanuska River (Alaska) coal land cases. The men are charged with having conspired to defraud the United States government of 10,000 acres of coal lands, valued at $10,000,000. Those indicted are A. C. Frost, formerly president of the Alaskan Northern Railroad, formerly president and promoter of the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric Road and president of A. C. Frost & Co. George M. Seward, Chicago, receiver for A. C. Frost & Co. Pierre G. Beach, Chicago, formerly secretary of the Alaska Northern Railroad, and secretary and treasurer of the Frost Company. Frank Watson, Spokane, Wash. George A. Ball, Municie, Ind., said to be financial backer of Frost. Duncan M. Stewart, Seward, Alaska, formerly manager of the Southern Bank of Toronto, Canada. Harry C. Osborne, Gwyn L. Francis and Francis H. Stewart, bankers and brokers of Toronto. There are two counts in the indictment, which is drawn under what is known as the Conspiracy Statute. The penalty provided is a fine of $10,000, or imprisonment for two years on all counts. The land which the nine men are charged with having conspired to gain is situated on the south side of the Matanuska River, extending from Chickaloon to Kings River, and land on the north side of the Matanuska, near Moose Creek. The tracts are known as the Watson group of coal claims and the Matanuska Coal Company group. The alleged conspiracy was begun at Chicago on April 1, 1908, according to the indictment, and Frost, Hall, Osborne and Gwyn L. Francis were to have been the chief beneficiaries. The acquisition of the land, the indictment reads, was to be effected by "unlawful, fraudulent, false and colusive locations, preferential rights to purchase, and final entries and locations under the coal land laws. "That by cunning persuasion and promises of pecuniary reward and other corrupt means divers persons qualified by law to make location upon and enter and purchase coal lands, should be procured to make unlawful locations, ostensibly for exclusive use of claims, but in truth and fact for the benefit of the conspirators." TREATY WITH GREAT BRITAIN Taft May Redeem Promise at Regular Session of Congress. Washington, D. C. — When Congress assembles in regular session next December it is believed the President may be able to redeem his promise to submit a treaty with Great Britain, providing for general and unlimited arbitration of all questions arising between America and Great Britain. Attention having been directed to the subject by the remarkable speech of Sir Edward Grey in Parliament, it is learned that negotiations for such a treaty have been proceeding informally for a long time, though neither side has submitted a final, concrete proposition. Freed From Prison. Pittsburg. After 20 years in the Western Penitentiary for a murder for which he has been declared innocent. Andrew Toth will go free. GEN. CARTER'S FIRST ORDER Mobilization is For Maneuver Purposes. NEW FIELD SERVICE RULES. Gen. Carter's Order Sets In Motion the Severe Regime of Discipline and Training to Whip the New Recruits Into Shape. San Antonio, Tex.—General Carter issued, through Lieutenant Colonel E. F. Ladd, his first instructions, founded on the theory that the mobilization of the divisional army at Fort Sam Houston is for maneuvers only. This general order, accompanied by a memorandum of particulars, sets in motion the severe regime of discipline and training which is to whip the new recruits into soldiers as fast as possible and try out the old regulars, under the new field service regulations adopted by the general staff last December. This is the text of General Carter's order: "Under instructions of the Secretary of War, this camp of instruction, consisting of the maneuvers division, will be conducted: "1. With the view of obtaining the greatest amount of information as to the efficiency and fitness, of our present provisional organization and, all that pertains to its strength and equipment of its component parts. "2. With a view to economy and simplicity of administration with special reference to avoidance of unnecessary correspondence and records and the elimination from the division of all unnecessary impediment and its reduction to the least point consistent with an efficient performance for field service. "3. That advantage be taken of the opportunity furnished this camp of instruction to give the division most efficient instruction in all branches of field training." The first attention of all commanders is to be toward the instruction of the nearly 1,200 raw soldiers who have come into camp within the past week. For three hours a day, every day since the first recruit landed on the hard adobe of the camp, awkward squads have been doing the setting up exercise, squad evolutions and all of the grind getting into soldier shape. By next week they will be ready to be taken into the company formation and then the next stunt will be the rifle range. It was said at the camp today that it is the purpose of General Carter to rush the men through to preparation for rifle practice as soon as possible. Within a few days additional rifle ranges will be constructed at the army reservation at Leen Springs, 21 miles out on the prairie, and by companies the recruits, from tailor shop and village smithy allike, will be taught what a gun is for and how to use it. That the men of every arm of the service assembled on the camp ground here are to be given some pretty severe sprouts, is indicated in the comprehensive memorandum accompanying General Carter's general orders. In this memorandum the commanding general emphasizes the fact that commanders are to see to it that in every way their men are prepared for the field. For State-Wide Prohibition Austin, Tex.—The so-called Statewide prohibition bill was signed by Governor Colquitt Friday. It provides for the submission of a constitutional amendment for State-wide prohibition at an election July 22 next. The Governor also signed the bill transferring to the United States the San Jacinto military reservation on Galveston Island. Ten and Half Miles of Land. Washington, D. C.—The Panama Canal has been completed for a distance of five miles at the Pacific entrance, according to a report received by the Isthmian Canal Commission. At the Atlantic entrance the canal channel has been completed to its full width for a distance of five miles and a half inland from deep water in Limon Bay. Big Fishing Interest Sold. Seattle, Wash. — The Post-Intelligencer says that the Morgan and Guggenheim interests have disposed of the Northwestern Fisheries Company, one of the largest salmon packing companies of Alaska, to the Booth Fisheries Company, of Chicago and Baltimore: The consideration is placed at $1,500,000. TO MAKE DUMPLINGS RECIPES THAT WILL APPEAL TO THE HOUSEWIFE. --- Never Fail Dumpling, Rhubarb Dumpling, Fruit Dumpling and Potpie Dumpling Worth Trying on Never Fall Dumpling—Get two and one-half pounds of veal or beef off the pound and have it cut in cubes, put tablespoon of butter in kettle and brown meat in butter, then salt and cover meat with water and let it simmer until tender. Take flour sifter two-thirds full of flour, pinch of salt, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder sifted in the flour, and milk enough to make a soft biscuit dough. Don't use rolling pin. Pat it with your hands, cut with biscuit cutter, and drop in kettle with meat when it is boiling briskly. Have plenty of water in kettle but not enough to submerge the dumplings. Boll twenty minutes without removing the kettle cover. Can boll your potatoes with this if you like, thus using only one kettle. This will serve a family of five plentifully. Rhubarb Dumpling—Two cupfuls flour, two tablespoonfuls butter or butter and lard mixed, pinch salt, one teaspoonful baking powder, scant one-half cupful milk. Take a small portion of dough and roll out thin; have rhubarb washed and cut in fine pieces, fill center of rolled dough with rhubarb, cover with sugar, place small piece butter on sugar and roll into dumplling. Continue until all dough is used. Place dumplings in pan, cover with one cupful sugar, tablespoonful flour and bits of butter; pour over this two cupfuls water. Bake in oven. Fruit Dumpilings—Preserve enough dough when shaping leaves of bread to make as many small biscuits as desired. Roll small biscuits about the size of an egg into balls and place them in a granite baking pan. Let them rise as for biscuits. Have ready some sweetened canned fruit with sufficient juice almost to cover the biscuits, one quart of the canned fruit to one dozen dumplings. Pour fruit over the dumplings, then put them in the oven. Bake forty-five minutes. Potple Dumplings—Take the remnants of a roast or any bits of left over meats (even slices of tough fried meat will do), cut in small pieces, place in a kettle and add two or three pints of hot water, season to taste with salt and pepper and a lump of butter, or meat fryings will do nearly as well. Simmer gently for an hour and then make dumplings. Dumplings—Four cups of sifted flour, one teaspoonful of baking powder, one teaspoonful of salt, and enough sweet milk to wet it so it will drop rather stiffly from the spoon; drop in spoonfuls while the soup is boiling. Be sure and ad denough water before djropping in the crust as it takes up a good deal of soup. The Hogkeeper Lamp chimneys rubbed with salt after washing have a surprising brilliancy. To remove blood stains, saturate with kerosene only and let stands a few moments, then wash in cold water. When roasting a small turkey fasten a well-buttered sheet of white paper over the breast with small skewers. When material is being dyed it should be stirred well. This allows the dye to penetrate to all parts alike, thus producing an even shade. To bleach white garments, use one stablespoon of borax in one gallon of water. Wet the clothes, dry in the sun and repeat the process if necessary. To remove mildew, rub over the marks with the juice of a raw tomato, sprinkle with salt and lay in the sun. Repeat the process if necessary two or three times. Lemon dipped in salt will clean copper kettles and other metal articles successfully. Afterward they must be well rinsed in clean water and be polished with a soft cloth. Olive oil is injured by being kept in the light. When used at the table it should be put in a dark colored bottle and removed to a cool, dark place immediately after the meal. To sweep a carpet without raising a dust and at the same time brighten the colors add half a cupful of gasoline to a pail of water and dampen the broom with it. Apple Cream Pie. Make a rich, flaky pie crust, cut up two sour apples, add four tablespoons of sugar, a little cinnamon, and four small pieces of butter; put in oven and bake. Make a cream filling as follows. The yolks of two eggs, one cup of milk, one tablespoonful of cornstarch, three tablespoons of sugar. Cook in a double boiler, flavor with vanilla, add a half cup cream. pour over apples; beat the whites of two eggs, two tablespoons of confectionery sugar for frosting. Bake a light brown. Macaroni Groquettes One cup of cooked macaroni, 4 tablespoons butter, 4 tablespoons flour, $ \frac{3}{4} $ cup of milk or stock, a few drops of onion juice, salt and pepper and $ \frac{1}{2} $ cup of cheese. When well blended add milk, onion juice and seasoning. Cool, add macaroni, shape, dip in crumbs, egg, then crumbs again, and try in deep fat. Try them. COOKS FIVE DISHES AT ONCE Novel Utensil Invented by Ohio Woman Has Many Things to Recommend it. A cooking utensil that has many things to recommend it has been invented by an Ohio woman. Its chief merit is that it will cook five things at once over one burner of a gas stove, thereby saving space, trouble and fuel. A circular platter has five pans arranged around a handle in the center and the lids have attachments, so that they can either be opened on ```markdown ``` a hinge and dropped back again or can be held open indefinitely. Usually only one thing can be cooked over one burner at a time, and usually, too, cooking pots and pans are unnecessarily large for small families. All the food that a small family of two or three persons requires can be contained in the pans shown here, and if the dishes require different lengths of time on the range, they can be put on or taken off separately. As will readily be seen, this utensil will be especially convenient in flats. HINTS ON HOW TO USE HAM Dainty Ways of Serving Meat That Will Appeal to 'Jaded Appetites. Sliced ham is more tender if it is baked than if fried. Cut a slice three-quarters of an inch thick, put it into a small enamel can, turn three-quarters of a cupful of milk over it, cover and bake for an hour and a quarter, basting every 15 minutes with milk. For luncheon grind the ends of a boiled ham and mix it with a button onion that has been chopped fine and a little minced parsley. Put the mixture into a pan with a little butter and moisten with hot water or cream. Simmer four or five minutes and then heat on slices of toast. For curly bacon cut it very thin and half cook it in boiling water, then curl it, fasten in shape with a toothpick and broil it over the fire. A little grated American cheese mixed with minced ham used in sandwiches is delicious if the sandwich is friend brown and served very hot. Cold ham is tasty if it is shredded and cooked in currant jelly sauce. Put a cupful of the shredded ham into a saucepan with a level tablespoonful of butter and half a cupful of currant jelly. As soon as the jelly and butter begin to bubble add four tablespoonfuls of sherry and a seasoning of paprika. Simmer the mixture about five or six minutes and serve with toast. Onion and Potato Stuffing. Pare and cut small about 2 quarts of onions. Boll, and when nearly done pare about 6 or 7 medium potatoes, put in with onions and boll till mealy. Remove and mash potatoes and put onions through a grinder. Then grind about 1/4 pound all fat pork and let it melt in with onions and potatoes. Next take 3 or 4 common crackers and grind and mix all together. Season with salt and poultry dressing or sage to taste. It will be moist. Stuff bird and bake. One-half hour before it is baked put the rest of stuffing into same pan and bake in the rich gravy. Everyone, who has ever eaten it once never refuses it the second time. Salmon Puffs. Chop the meat from one can of salmon; add one tablespoon of melted butter, salt and pepper, one-half cupful bread crumbs, one tablespoon lemon juice and three well-beaten eggs. Mix well and pack into cups, about three-fourths full. Set the cups into a pan of hot water and bake in moderate oven one-half hour. Turn them out on a platter and place a sprig of parsley on top of each. The Ple of Five. One large, juicy lemon, one cupful of sugar, one egg, one good sized potato, one cupful of water. Grate rind of lemon and add juice and egg. Beat well. Grate potato; if possible, through a food chopper. Stir well with other ingredients and then add water. Put in double boiler or saucepan and let thicken and bake in two crusts. To Preserve Eggs. To one pint of unslaked lime and one pint of salt, pour one pail of boiling water. When cold pour over the eggs, having placed them in a large jar or tub, with the small end of the egg down. Maple Syrup Cake Cream one-half pound of butter with two cupfuls of sugar, and four well beaten eggs, two cupfuls of maple syrup, one cupful of milk, a pinch of salt, six cupfuls of flour and nutmeg to flavor. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LIBRARY ____ . The importance of the Sunday-school library in the smaller towns and villages is more marked than it has ever been, perhaps. There are no bookstores, as a rule, and very few private or public collections of books, and the only literature on sale, as a rule, is the Sunday newspaper, cheap, sensational literature and periodicals of an undesirable type. Often there is nothing at all. All the more important, therefore, is it from our point of view that really good books should be provided for the young people whose characters are forming, and that these books should be wisely selected to accomplish the greatest respit. As a rule, there is no one in the school or the community who has sufficient knowledge of the subject, both from the book-seller's point of view and from that of the educational adviser, to make an independent selection. It is doubly incumbent upon the denominational boards, therefore, to do their full share and to face the problem with more knowledge and a better grasp of the conditions; for in the country centres, consequently more time for reading, and the more need for a supply of the right books. In the old days the books published for young people were, to a large extent, such as would not now be tolerated. The Sunday-school publication societies used to be almost the only source of books for young people, and the books issued by them were of a very wooden character, presenting a type of piety and religious life not in the least in accordance with the nature of the child. These books were a compound of insipid and sickly sentiment, insincere religion, and an unchildlike plety. It is unnecessary to give instances; there are many books now in circulation that exemplify these defects in exaggerated from. By no means all of them come from denominational publishing societies; but there is no excuse nowadays for Sunday-school publishers not knowing what is the right sort of book for the young. It is their business to know, and what is harmful, or at least wholly negative; for with boys and girls, and even more with young men and women, counsel, serious advice and religious didacticism count for little, or in many cases for less than nothing. What in wanted is good example, fine specimens of natural manly and womanly character, loyal and enthusiastic and adventurous, with the high spirits of youth, high-minded, sincere, sympathetic, above all, natural; not preaching, but fresh and interesting examples of Christianity in action. Action is what young people love; example is what they need, but they do not crave good advice. No duck was ever made whose back would shed water as a child nirua sheds good advice of the ordinary type. It is nauseous to him, to be avoided and shunned when possible, and if it has to be taken, it is taken with a real, if unconscious, determination not to let a morsel of it penetrate. The sympathetic counsel of a personal friend is a different thing. Unfortunately most of our young people are not in touch, constantly, with a wise, loving and sympathetic friend to exercise an influence for good at every turn. The good effect and lasting value of the best books are incalculable and sometimes the only intellectual and religious help that a young person receives. What, then, are the qualities necessary to constitute the right sort of Sundayschool library book? There should, in the first place, be a large choice to suit the different tastes and temperaments. Biography is, on many accounts, the best and Some people think marriage a joke until they try it. Pouting is pretty in a woman so long as she keeps a twinkle in her eyes. How is it possible for a man to know a woman when so few of them know themselves? Dry goods clerks usually make good husbands, because they know how to deal with women. He is the best husband who acts as if he, were glad to be home. Just because gray is not becoming to them is no reason why women should not have gray matter in their heads. We are told that there is no marrying or giving in marriage in heaven, but that does not consign marriage to the other place. No man minds going home tired orfm a hard day's work if he knows his wife is there ready to give him affectionate greeting. Selfishness is back of most of the little discontents of the family circle BY GEO. P. NAINS, D. D. IN DOUBLE HARNESS. most instructive reading. A large part of the Bible is biographical. Through biography one can read the history of any age. Above all it is through biography that the art of living is learned, the practice and the commerce of life, and through the lives of people who have played a part in society, and insight into human nature is obtained; but children, as a rule, will not read biography as such, even when sugar-coated. It is, therefore, necessary to make it soluble, so to speak, and to present it is such a form that it can be absorbed. This is accomplished by the fictitious narrative; the life and doings of the boy or man is presented in various aspects, either of individuals or of groups, whose career offers just the sort of fascinating interest the boy craves. In action is found a neverfalling interest for them. Therefore, a large part of the library for young people in the school will be in the form of fictitious narrative just as a large part of the teachings of the Bible is in the form of parable and incident. Along with such books there should be books of a Biblecal and religious character the most interesting missionary narratives and also descriptions of the works of God in nature. The home library, and to a certain extent the high school library, will furnish a certain proportion of books of mere entertainment and recreation, but this department may be eliminated in the Sunday-school, although there will be legitimately, a fair amount of this element in all the best books for dry and unattractive. Children must have a ration of sugar as a part of their diet, intellectually as well as physically. The town library will supply the wants of its patrons, providing they are sound, without much discrimination, and where there is a well conducted and fully equipped public library, the case of the Sunday-school library is quite different from what it is in the communities where there is no such source of supply as is the case in the vast source of supply as is the case in the vast proportion of the smaller villages and towns. Wherein does the Sunday-school library differ from the one for the home or the high school? The common school does not teach religion, and on the other hand the Sunday-school does not attempt to include scientific, literary or cultural courses. Both, however, alm at the development and cultivation of high moral character as distinguished from cacational or merely practical equipment looking towards the material things of life. Before making a selection of books for a Sunday-school library, there should be an intelligent and broad principle of selection so that a reason can be given for any book that is included. The modern Sunday-school library is a very different thing from what is used to be. Religious people have a much broader and more Catholic conception of even spiritual culture from that of a century-ago, and the range of choice is much wider and the understanding of the nature of the child is much more perfect. It might be well for the denominational houses, which are the largest factor in the selection and distribution of books for Sunday-school libraries, to get together on common gröund as far as possible and to combine in the effort to circulate the best books and to exclude the unworthy.

Every young man or woman who has attended college or any other literary institution of high grade, readily appreciates the force and repetition for the urging upon them along the line of self-mastery." Wherever you find a successful and useful life, it you will take the time to acquaint yourself with the happy individual who has achieved as much, you will certainly find that one of the most important virtues responsible for such success is that of "self-mastery." What is true of individuals is also true of a race of individuals. Possibly, with the completion of about fifty years of freedom, we are on the eve of a new era, as respects the progress and advance of the race. What the harvest will be, so far as the race is concerned, after another fifty years of struggle and effort, is beyond the possibility of an accurate forecaste. Yet we feel perfectly safe in saying that the showing, at that time, will by no means be creditable to us, if we fail to profit by the experience which should come to us by "self-mastery." When an individual uses all the credit he can command; when he shuts his eyes to the inevitable disappointments and contingencies of life and proceeds as every day to follow will be a gloriously successful one; when he fails to study closely the demands made upon his income, and incidental burdens which perchance may handicap him, the almost sure and certain result in every such instance is failure and bankruptcy. He comes to grief. He is made sad at heart. Such a condition is not altogether an evil; in very many cases it proves singularly educative and illustrative. Out of the many the illuminating. Out-of the wreck the brave and courageous souls arrises and starts upon a promising and successful career, because of the insight and experience which came to him in such a signal disaster. Much better it will be, however, if the race can save itself from the awfully sad and trying experience of a great set-back in the progress it is In these days one hears much about race leaders, and leading men and women of the race. Between the two there is a vast difference. One may be a leading member as the term is commonly used with possessing the faintest traces of the elements or real leadership, the distinction thrust upon him because of some achievement which raises him above his fellowman in the same line. The real leader is one who lays aside selfish agrandizement, and labors diligently in season and out of season for the cause espoused or the race to which he belongs and for whose glory and advancement his life and being is dedicated. The world has witnessed many examples of such heroic leadership. Men, who refusing the certain honors of the enemies, would rather have the spears into their breast rather than sacrifice their people. The real leader not only watches the enemies of the race, but like the true friend studies carefully and every action and REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

But, if it fails to master itself, if it fails to note closely its weakness, and fails to husband the elements of its real strength, a kind and merciful Providence, through bounteous chastisements, will bring to it, what in its blindness, selfishness, and carelessness it missed. The function of true leader is to point out ahead these grave dangers which lie just beyond. He is no leader at all who shuts his eyes to the real difficulties in the way, and permits the great masses of the people to rush forward to ruin. One of the great dangers which is already engulfing us lies in the direction of a failure to economically and wisely apply the hard earnings of the race. What may be to one man just an ordinary and lawful enjoyment may be to another an expensive and harmful luxury. The matter of expensive church buildings, and excessive sums of money wasted in secret and other societies, constitute one of the great perils threatening to arrest and turn Lack the progress of the entire race. As true and honest men, we should look the matter squarely in the face, and adjust such expenditures to the margin that we can safely and wisely set aside for such purposes. The day of philanthropy on our behalf is well-night; it not entirely past, and our financial burdens we must sustain for ourselves. Leadership, if we have it among curself, ought to be in evidence in this economic realm, directing the people along safe, conservative and helpful channels. The Master has said, and that so truly, that a man's life's does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses; and it will be a happy day when all our leaders lay more stress and emphasis upon solid personal character, that upon the necessity of emulating the rich in extravagance and sinful waste. We must work in the future more with our intellects than with our feelings. More careful serious and earnest thought must be given to fearlessly tells us of our faults. He knows the evils of the race, points them out and suggests a remedy. On the whole, he is one who loves the race more than self. True there have been many who have in a more humble way, have helped to lay the foundation of a great future, and these will continue. But what the race needs today is men of more courage as leaders. This class of men must be found in our pupils, in our professional class, among business men. Men who know the evils of the race and dare tell us of our faults. The average Negro political leader owes his elevation to the white man. Filled with a knowledge of the slums of the race he is selected, because it is supposed he can control the habitats of the crap games and gambling districts. He is paid in an office or cheap notoriety. The great mass of Negro voters spurn and repudiate this class of leaders. They are ready and will- Grouchy. Slmkins—"Oh, sir!

Earliest Glass Making. The manufacture of glass, datos from the earliest times, and no doubt originated with the Egyptians, as the oldest known specimens are those found in the tonbs of Egypt, and the earliest mention of it dating back to 3200 B. C. has been found in inscriptions of that country. After the Egyptians, the ancient people most renowned for glass-making were the Phoenicians, and the legend of that people concerning the discovery of the art has been often told. Certain Phoenician traders, it is said, returning to their homes in a ship laden with natron or soda, and being compelled to land on a sandy tract on the Syrian coast, in building a fire on the sand to prepare their supper, placed their cooking pots on lumps of soda. The sand and the soda were both melted by the heat of the fire and flowing together formed a substance new to the sailors, but recognized by them as of probable value. Thus, says the tradition, was the manufacture of glass discovered. But, as the heat of the driftwood fire would hardly fuse sand, it has been said that this story only proves that the art of glass-making was very ancient—House-keeper. Tax on French Liquors The board of United States general appraisers has decided that goods imported from France in order to have the benefit of the reduction in duties provided for in the reciprocity treaty with that country must be shipped direct from a French port to the United States.

Many of the evils of the race can be traced to the politically protected dives, gambling houses, and other places of disrepute. These places are corruping our young men and destroying our young womanhood. Someone must nave the moral courage to denounce these evils and demand their destruction. Speaking of these evils to a prominent divine of our race, he said: "I dare not attack them from my pulpit, because it would affect the financial income of my church." Lord have mercy on the preacher and congregation. A big political close up to the throne of grace says that he can not afford to touch these matters since to do so would mean political death. Here is a leader without a following of any value to himself on the party. Yet the evils of the race continue to follow and increases in each generation—Richmond Reforcer OF INTEREST TO OUR WOMEN POTATO DUMPLINGS. Potato dumplings are delicous, and, while they do not take the place of bread, they certainly lessen the amount eaten. To make sufficient for six people, boil four good-sized potatoes in their skins. When the potatoes are done and cold, remove the skins and grate with one slice of stale bread. Add to them a little salt and a tablespoonful of butter, roll them out into small balls, then roll them in egg and fine cracker crumbs or flour. Have a kettle of boiling water or stock, put the potato dumplings into a wire basket, immerse them in the boiling liquid, and cook until they rise to the surface. Remove the basket and let them drain. If they are cooked in soup, after the soup has been dished up in the soup plates and ready to be placed on the table, two or three dumplings may be placed in each individual plate. MAN, WOMAN AND THE WORLD. Man wears clothes as a defense; woman for the purpose of attack. A girl must be very intellectual if she can't tell you what another girl had on. Man proposes; woman makes him stick to it. A man who can joke with his wife about her dressmaker's bill must have a keen sense of humor. The law has no penalty for stealing a heart. The punishment of having it left on your hands is enough. A beautiful woman is the paradise of the eyes, the hell of the soul and the purgatory of the purse.

Sheldon pudding served with thin cream and sugar may well be placed on the company dinner table. Put three squares of unsweetened chocolate in double boiler with three cupful of cold milk and heat over boiling water until chocolate is dissolved. Mix one-third of a cupful each of sugar and corn starch with one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt and dilute with cold milk. Add corn starch mixture gradually to hot mixture, while stirring constantly, and continue the stirring for three minutes; then let cook without stirring for fifteen minutes. Turn into a pudding dish and serve hot or cold. If served cold, cover during cooking or a crust forms. CHICKEN CRUSTADE. Cut some slices of bread an inch thick, cutting rounds from them with a round cutter. Fry these a delicate brown in butter. Scoop out the crumbs on one side and fill the chopped chicken, heated in a thick cream sauce. Oyster may be prepared in the same way, or any shredded meat, as srab meat or fish. R. MOVAL OF PARAFFIN, VASELINE, ETC. Paraffin and vaseline, etc., can be removed by washing with condensing alcohol vapor. Thus by inserting a beaker which has contained paraffin over another containing a little alcohol and placed on a water bath, the paraffin is removed. This method can be applied to the removal of grease from the fractured surface of steel, or from articles to be silvered, and so on. GINGER BISCUIT. There is a breakfast ginger biscuit served hot which is very delicious. To make this use one cupful of molasses and one cupful of sour cream, to which add a teaspoonful of soda and half a teaspoonful of salt. Sift into the flour one teaspoonful of ginger and add enough flour to knead lightly and roll out one half inch thick. Cut this with a biscuit cutter and bake. Serve while hot. One cupful of sour milk may be used instead of the cream, and then add one tablespoonful of butter. MEN AND WOMEN. Every man has the love affairs that he deserves. If only people asked themselves beforehand why they were going to marry each other, it would nearly always be a case of "hitch in time." Women, who, after all, make society are generally disposed to be amlale to a bachelor, until he shows his preference for one of their number. Then they declare war and strike at him through the woman of his choice. MARROW TOAST. Get a marrow bone from the butcher's, from the lower end of the shank, and boil it for half an hour in salted water, having the water boiling when it goes in. When cold, take out all the marrow and work it on a plate with a knife until it is like butter, adding a little salt. Butter the slices of hot toast with it, piling them up on a hot dish in the oven. This can not be told from hot buttered toast, but is particularly nourishing and digestible. ```markdown ``` WAIST RHYMES. Wander, wander, little waist, Don't you wonder where you're placed?

When making lemon pies cut the lemons in quarters, remove the seeds and run through the food cropper, using the cutter for nut butter. This saves time, the unpleasant task of washing a grater and also scratched fingers. When using marking ink to put initials on linen, do work first with an ordinary lead pencil and then use the marking ink over the work.

To prepare it, first cut some fat salt pork into cubes and fry them in a saucepan. Fry some sliced onions in this fat until they have attained a distinct yellow hue; then add some raw potatoes that have previously been sliced and cut into dice and canned corn, about a pint of boiling water and pepper and salt as required. Let this mixture simmer until the potatoes are tender. Then add a pint of scalded milk that has already been thickened by the addition of a tablespoonful of butter rubbed into two tablespoonfuls of flour. Simmer for another five minutes, then add hard crackers. POPULARITY OF SWIMMING. Miss Lillian Smith, the champion long distance woman swimmer, is said to be responsible for the popularity of swimming among London women this season. The Bath club, a fashionable resort in London, has almost doubled its membership in the last few weeks, and a new club, the City of London Ladies' Amateur Swimming club, has been formed to accommodate business women living in the city. According to Miss Smith, swimming is the very best exercise for women, both stout and thin. "The woman with too much flesh can reduce her weight and the thin girl can develop muscles which she never dreamed of before," declares Miss Smith. "The best swimming costume is the tight-fitting university dress. Skirts look well on land, but they are not satisfactory in the water."—New York Sun. FAIR PLAY FOR GIRLS At a meeting of the New York State Consumers' League, Mrs. Florence Kelley declared there was no reason why girls should not be given as fair treatment as boys. The law makes it illegal for any male under 21 years to carry messages between the hour of 10 p. m. and 5 a. m., while a girl 16 years old can work all night. HOUSEHOLD HINTS: Badly stained decanters and flower vases may be cleaned with a little diluted hydrochloric acid. After using the acid be sure to rinse every wasa off with warm soapy water. Burning oil is spread by water. To extinguish it throw down flour, sand or earth. The idea is to prevent the oil spreading. Before relaying the carpets after the spring cleaning try washing around the edges of the floor to the depth of a yard from the baseboard with a strong solution of alum water. Several times a month sprinkle salt over the carpet before sweeping. A faint scent of violets is imparted to handkerchief by adding a small piece of orrils root to the warter in which they are boiled. Try enameling your old refrigerator. It makes it so much nicer and cleaner, and it is so easy to wash. Take out the racks and clean everything thorough with hot suds, dry and give a generous coat of white paint to the racks and inside. When dry give two coats of white bathtub enamel. Combs soon warp and break if washed with water. A good stiff nailbrush cleans them well. ```markdown ``` A THOUGHT OF SUMNER.

SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1911 It is to be hoped that the good results accruing from the mass meeting to stimulate registration held at the Harris street hall Tuesday night under the auspices of the Chatham County Republican Executive Committee will be very general and that the hundreds of young men of voting age who are now ineligible to cast a ballot will soon avail themselves of the opportunity to set themselves aright and swell the number of Negro voters in this county. The time is not far off now when it will be necessary to show ourselves citizens in this respect and unless we look after our registration we shall not be able to come up to the standard which is expected of us as men. It will not require a fortune in any case for us to fortify ourselves along this line before the time arrives for our needed ballots and with but a little personal effort every one of us can remedy any fault which may now be existing. A few weeks ago a little girl of twelve was invited by two of her older friends to accompany them to a revival service and having gotten the consent of her mother to do so the trio departed and in a few moments found themselves in the midst of a most spirited revival service. The meeting was soul-stirring from beginning to end and the little girl, as all children, was carried away by the invigorating singing and joined heartily in those songs with which she was acquainted. Finally the time for weeding out those that were "unsaved" arrived and a devout deaconess of the church in question knowing the little girl approached her and endeavored to persuade her to give her "soul to God" right there and then and with various entreaties tried to impress upon the child the necessity of joining that particular church. The little girl declined saying that she wanted to be a christian but must first see her mother about the church she must join as her mother was of a different denomination. There upon the good sister decided that she would approach the parent of the child on the subject and the next day they by chance met on the streets and the matter in question was brought up. The mother in no uncertain terms made it clear that she desired her child's religious training both in the church and at home to be under her own personal supervision and that the only way this could be accomplished was to have her little girl join the church to which she belonged. An argument ensued but the mother would not recede from her position and as a consequence the little girl is now in the same church with her mother enjoying the same maternal pro ection at church as at home. This is one idenfect which it would do well for all mothers and guardians of children to follow. It is absolutely essential for children in their tender years to have parental supervision in church just the same as at home. There is always need of advice in the religious training of children which can be given by none so forcibly as by parents and it behooves them to look after and supervise them throughout their early religious life just as in other walks of life. To personally look after their going to and coming from church, to personally keep in touch with their actions while at church and to personally oversee their spiritual well being at home are in general the duties of parents to their children and in order to most satisfactorily accomi his parents and children should be of one and the same religious denomination and the same church. The Negro race as a whole and the better element of the white race are sincerely sorry that Booker T. Washington should have been subjected to the uncalled for bodily attack which was visited upon him last Sunday night in New York city when he was making a perfectly legitimate call in search of one who is officially connected with the great institution which he heads and with whom he was very desirous of having a conference. There have been many opinions expressed on this brutal attack in which our great educator received many severe and painful wounds and the true and correct circumstances which surround the case will probably not be fully learned until the case is brought to trial. Dr. Washington's actions in examining the names on the many mail boxes in the hall way of the house at which he called was certainly no ground for arousing the suspicion of the white janitor who attacked him, for any one who is acquainted with the large apartment houses of the north can testify that this is the customary and surest way of finding any one sought. There have been other reasons than that of suspicion advanced by the white janitor since his incarceration and he has had time to think the matter over but they are all accepted by the public in general as maliciously contrived to suit the great mistake he has made and to bring to his support those whose sympathies he may gain by bringing into the case an element which is so often concocted by white men in defense of their villainous attacks on Negro men. But the public knows Mr. Washington too well and holds him in too high esteem to even consider any charge other than the original one and there is no better illustration of the great amount of confidence which is universally felt in his integrity, honesty and uprightness than the following letter written to him by President Taft: "I am greatly distressed at your misfortune and I hasten to write you of my sympathy and my hope that you will soon recover from the wounds inflicted by insane suspicion or viciousness, and of my confidence in you, your integrity and morality of character and in your highest usefulness to your race and to all the people of this country. It would be a nation's loss if this untoward incident in any way impaired your great power for good in the solution of one of the most difficult problems before us. I want you to know your friends are standing by you in every trial and that I am proud to subscribe myself as one." IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE. Interesting Services in The Churches of the City. F. A. B.

Visitors will be seated in the galleries. A splendid program has been arranged for the occasion. The members are still rallying to make the mark as planned by the church and while there has been a great deal of sickness and many deaths in their ranks, there seems to be an abundance of zeal characterizing their efforts. First Congregational Church: On last Sunday morning the First Congregational Church had the rare privilege of listening to a most able and interesting address by Rev. James P. O'Brien, Kansas City, who is the Educational Secretary of the Congregational Sunday School Publishing Society. Rev. O'Brien made a most forcible plea for greater and effective work in the Sunday school. On tomorrow at 4 o'clock there will be a special address given by Rev. B. J. Flynn of Charlotte, N. C., who is conducting our revival services, for men and it is hoped that this service will be well attended. So far the revival has been productive of much good and about twelve have been converted. No paints are being spared to make our revival services attractive and we should like as many of our friends to join us in these services as possible. The manner in which Rev. Flynn is conducting our revival is very pleasing and we should like our friends to avail themselves of the opportunity to hear him while here on this occasion. Gaston and East Broad streets.

Sunday was a glorious day in the old mother church, the Sunday school at 9:30 a.m., was well attended. At 11 a.m., the pastor preached an excellent sermon also at 8 p.m. The church was crowded all day. Sunday being the day set aside for the trustees a sum of $37.00 was raised. Four joined and one came up seeking forgiveness. Seven were received into the church at the 11 o'clock services as full members. Those who read the Guide last Sunday know just what is going to happen in the great war rally between the Japs and the Russians the second Sunday in May. The class meeting on Tuesday was excellent, every one seemed to be happy nearly two hundred were present, amount raised $32.40. One joined confessing faith in Jesus. Mt. Zion Baptist Church. During our revival services each night last week, the seating capacity of the church was taxed. Quite a number of visitors attended and a number of souls were added to the church. The services closed on Friday night and baptism took place on last Sunday after prayer services, at which hour it was quite a task to seat all present. Many returned to the 11 o'clock services which proved interesting. In the afternoon, the communion services took place and again the little church was crowded. Not being wearied of their day's journey to the church of God, a larger number of the attendants of the day returned to the 8 o'clock service thus closing the beautiful day happily spent in the church. Now that the revival services are closed we are making all efforts to take place to-morrow but has been deferred to the Second Sunday in April in order to give those who are not yet prepared, chance to do so. We hope to have a short program rendered on that day. All the members are aware of the fact that on that day the church property is to be disposed of and each member must purchase as many lots as they possibly can. The pastor has been successful enough as to dispose of some of the lots, and it remains with you to do the rest. We are also asking our sister churches and visiting friends to help us by purchasing one or more lots for which you will receive a certificate in accordance with same and it will help us greatly toward our building funds. Quite a number of our members are on the sick list and need your assistance and prayers. It is necessary that the members visit Dea. Daniel Brooks who has been sick for some time. Deacon Brooks is the oldest deacon on the staff and both he and his wife are very aged. Go to see him and do what you can for him. St. Phillips Dots. St. Philip revival services were largely attended on Sunday and all the week. Many Sunday school scholars have been converted. Prayer meeting from 7:45 to 8:30 for the special benefit of those that are seeking the Lord. The revival and preaching begin at 8:30 p.m. Col. A. L. Tucker made quite an interesting talk on the proposed new library building after services on last Sunday night, only ten cents is asked from each member of St. Philip on the fifth Sunday in April to assist in purchasing a suitable lot to erect the building. St. Philip will do her duty along that line. St. Philip Sunday school is making great preparations for the Easter celebration on Sunday April 16. Mr. Milton Robinson, the eldest son of Mrs. Sarah Robinson who was injured by the electric street car a few weeks ago died on March 17. While sick he was converted and was buried from St. Philip on Sunday March 19, at 4 p.m. His funeral was largely attended.

Misses Alberta Law and Eva Singleton rendered a very sweet duet, "Beauty for Ashes." Mrs. P. Riley, a solo. Mrs. E. B. Roberts sang "Raise me Jesus." "When Malindy sing," Master Alfonzo Roberts and Miss Lillian Ashley, was excellent. Mr. J. Elbert and Mrs. E. R. Dennis rendered an instrumental duet. A dialogue was rendered was rendered by Mrs. L. Shields and Mrs. M. M. Mills. Rev. Wright made a few encouraging remarks and introduced Rev. Joseph Gray of London England, who spoke very creditably of how much he had enjoyed what he had seen and heard. Rev. Walker preached on Sunday morning in the absence of Rev. Wright. On Sunday night he read the lesson Ps. 112:1-11. The ushers were taxed to seat the large crowd. The honored guest was the "Morning Call Aid and Social Club." The history of the club was read by Mr. N. Roberts. Rev. Wright welcomed the club heartily. His text Jer. 13:31, subject "What wilt you say when he shall punish thee" He held his hearers spell-bound from beginning to end. Rev. Wright led the hymn "That awful day will surely come," he tenderly invited those who felt the need of prayer to the mercy seat. A large crowd bowed and he offered a touching prayer in their behalf. The club donated very liberally to the church, pastor, choir and sexton. Do not forget our B. Y P. U. on Sunday evenings from 7:30 to 8:30 p. m., and our prayer meetings on Tuesday evenings. You are always welcome. Correction. Mr. Editor: Referring to an article published a few weeks ago in your paper giving all the credit to Mrs. Catherine Stewart for having the fence enclosing the cemetery lot of the late Rev. W. J. Campbell, painted. The Daughters of Zion Society, which was organized in 1867, beg to correct the same by reporting that they paid three ($3.00) dollars, and that the W. J. Campbell club paid two ($2.00) dollars for said painting, and that the entire bill for painting said fence was five ($5.00) dollars. The only credit that Mrs. Stewart can claim is that she called attention to the need of the work. C. H. Ebs, Sec'y.

S. T. shepard, Pastor. The Farm A writer who signs himself "T. M." gives Far Southern farmers a good scolding in the Southern Ruralist, and his lesson is some respects can be applied to a bigger area perhaps than the two States he indicates. Said he: "Some weeks ago I rode by train from Spartanburg, S. C., to Atlanta, most of the distance by daylight until night came on at Galnesville, Ga. I took notice of the farms-and villages, and here jot down a few points. "In this ride of several hundred mules I ought to have been able to count 2,000 head of cattle, 10,000 sheep and 3,000 head of hogs, but, as a matter of fact, I saw but seven cows, six or eight hogs and not one sheep. Is this farming? I call it botching. But this is not all. I saw tens of thousands of bare clay land, treeless and bare as a billiard ball. Every heavy rain carries millions of tons of this clay into the Chattahoochee, Savannah and other rivers. Is this same farming? It is not only botching, but it is a crime to permit these acres to remain uncovered with grass—grass that not only would support tens of thousands of cattle and sheep and save the land, but make the farmer independently rich. How are we to explain such a picture of what might be called fool farming? There are several explanations. First, is is one-crop farming—cotton, cotton, cotton. Second, the real trouble is deeper—it is absentee farming. The owner of the place lives in some little town or village and leaves his farm to tenants, black or white, usually black. *You bring me so many bales of cotton, do you understand?" "Yes, sah."* This, from the looks of the farms, would seem to have been the program for 100 years or more. What is the remedy for this hideous caricature of farming? 1. Get out of your little old lazy town and go and live on your farm like a gentleman, always 'bearing in mind that farming is the gentleman's occupation. 2. Stock your farm with cattle, logs, sheep, goats and horses. 3. Cover every naked path with some nutritious grass, thus adding not only beauty but utility to your property. 4. Take care of the natural fertilizers and stop buying the commercial stuff that burns up your land. 5. Join with your neighbors in building good, hard roads, so that your farm life will be delightful the entire year. Southern land owners have been talking about carrying out the above five suggestions for 40 years, but why don't they do it? Some say they are making a start in that direction. I hope so, but it is too slow. Thousands of farms are already ruined and thrown out to broom-sedge and gullies. Unless there is at once a return to the farm and a reform in farm methods, the once fair region to which I have referred will soon be as desolate as a section of the Desert of Sahara. This is no exaggeration and no false alarm. T. M. GOAT'S MILK. A common goat will eat only one eighth as much as a cow, but will give more than that proportion in milk. Butter made from goat's milk will not keep, and must be eaten fresh from the churn. In many parts of the east goats are being raised in larger numbers than ever before to supply milk and butter for the very poor. ROUP. I have been a reader of the Farmer for a long while, and think very much of the paper. I have a lot of little chickens that have a kind of core mouth. Their tongues come out and they die. Would like to know what it is and the remedy to use. J. H. L. It is a bad case of roup. The cold, damp weather may be accountable for it. Keep the sick separate from the others, and keep all the chicks dry and comfortable; give pepper in the food, and feed in a clean dry place. Sprinkle lime about the yard to kill the disease germs. See that the water they drink is pure; it should be changed often. THE HOME OF HIVE. Its nice to have your supers all clean, with the foundation fixed in the frames and sections. When the bees need them put them on. The use of comb foundation has made possible the production of straight brood and extract combs and marketable comb honey. If you keep your smoker in the honey house cut an old five gallon can in two and nail half of it to the wall near the door in which to place the smoker when you have emptied out the coals after using it. Should a few stray coals remain in it there few stray sparks remain in it there will be no danger of the dropping on to something communible and starting a fire. Did you ever think that an ounce of wax is worth nearly 2 cents, that if does not take a very large piece to weigh an ounce and that there are always a demand and ready sale for it? GOOD EGG PRODUCTION. As requisites for the production of good eggs and marketing them in good condition the following may be mentioned: 1. Hens that produce not only a good number of eggs, but eggs of moderately large size, weighing two ounces each on an average. Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, ,, Reds, Orphingtons and Lehorns or Minorcas that are used on egg farms are varieties that may be expected to this. 2. Good housing, regular feeding and watering and, above all a clean, dry nests. 3. Daily gathering of eggs, and, when the temperature is above 80 degrees, gathering twice a day. 4. The confining of all broody hens as soon as discovered. 5. The rejection as doubtful of all eggs found in a nest that was not visited the previous day. Such eggs should be used at home, where each may be broken separately. 6. The placing of all summer eggs, as soon as gathered; in the coolest place available. 7. The prevention at all times of moisture in any form coming in contact with the eggshells. 8. The disposal of young cockerels before they begin to annoy the hens. Also the selling or confining of old male birds from the time hatching is over until cool weather in fall. 9. The using of cracked and dirty as well as small eggs at home. Succ eggs, if consumed when fresh, are perfectly wholesome, but when-marked are discriminated against and are likely to become an entire loss. 10. The marketing of all eggs at least once a week, and oftener, when convenience allows. 11. Keeping eggs as cool and dry as possible while on the way to town and while in country stores. 12. Keeping eggs away from musty cellars or bad odors. 13. The use of strong, clean cases and good fillars. 14. The shipping of eggs to the final market at least once a week and offener if possible.-Milo Hastings, in United States Circular. LAMB FEEDING. Corn and the searded of Scotch barley, when fed with alfalfa, are about equal in value for mutton production. Barley in this test proved to be a shade the better. Twenty-seven percent less alfalfa and twenty-eight percent less grain was required where barley replaced in a ration. Grade lambs with mutton sires made greater galns, conditions being similar, than did Dambouillet lambs, though a record of food consumption for each class was not kept. The Western stockman has a feed in barley that is of great value for meat production, and may be used to advantage as a corn substitute.—Wyoming Experiment Station. TO WARM A CHILLED PIG. Of all the means of successfully warming a chilled pig and restoring his interest in things earthly, probably there is notating better than a pail or other vessel of water heated to about 95 to 98 degrees Fahrenheit, in which his body and limbs can be submerged from ten to twenty minutes. In many instances it will well-nigh revive the dead. If after this not bath Mr. Pig is dried and placed where he can suck a well-filled teat his outlook on the future will be much improved. --Swine In America. Farm Topics The sows that are usually most prolific and that are also usually the best mothers are those that have long, deep bodies with a row of well-developed dugs on each side; that are quite and kindly disposed, but that are possessed of enough nervous energy to induce them to take plenty of exercise by rustling around when they are given the run of a pasture. Combining meat production with general dairying is a good combination, and one which will leave the largest proportion of fertility upon the farm. Butter or cream and meats of all kinds are concentrated finished products, hence they are easy to market and bring the highest prices. All soil is made up of ground pulverized rock and vegetable matter. One of the chief causes of trouble in growing calves by hand is feeding them from unclean pails. There is less cost in marketing a real calf than in marketing the milk that it takes to produce it. During the third week of the normal calf's life it will begin to nibble at hay, if any is in its reach. The beef calf, in order to make quick and profitable growth, must receive an abundance of nourishment. The flesh of chickens fattened and finished on skim milk as the principal diet, in connection with crushed grains, is very light, tender and juicy. When feeding the calf by hand, feed often and in small amounts. ANTICIPATION (Copyright, 1910.) REALIZATION In "Chapters from My Experience" which Boeker T. Washington is contributing to the World's Work, he furnishes a sequel to his "Up From Slavery." The latter is a story of a struggle to escape from the repressive conditions into which he was born. The formgr takes the public into his confidence with respect to his life work, and shows the paths he has followed, sometimes necessarily devious, but finally bringing him to the goal of success. In the current installment he points out that one of the advantages that his race enjoys as new to the higher privileges and responsibilities of civilization is that it is not hampered by tradition with respect to educational methods. It has had to break through none of the restraints of fine-spun theories, but can avail itself or any of the processes for mental development that seem best adapted to its particular needs. When he has completed his story it will make a valuable addition to any educational library. It will benefit those who teach white students as well as instructors of these his own color, because there is no radical difference in the most effective methods of approach to the compersion of the two races. In his service as a teacher he has had to learn as well as to instruct. He has even had to grope his way at times, and has frequently profited by hints from the most common happenings and things. One sultry day, when just before the recess hour he had been conducting a rather unprofitable lesson in geography, he released his charges for a play spell, which they improved by scampering off to the cooling marshes nearby, he going with them. The dullness of the school room with its study atmosphere was replaced by enthusiasm in the freedom of the open and as they waded into the cooling water with vague ideas of what they had been trying to learn, they suddenly became discoverers, finding scapes, islands and peninsulas navigable streams along which they sent their own argosies, sites for cities and location for manufacturing plants, and in one play-hour they acquired more real knowledge than they could have gained from their books in weeks. This was in his groping days, but he never lost the inspiration received from, that revelation, and has used it ever since as a key to unlock the interest of the dullest pupil. The commencement oration of one of his students last May was upon cabbages. It was a subject that he understood and made interesting. He had the product with him on the stage, cabbages of exceptionally fine quality NEWS OF THE DAY. The annual lumber cut in the coast forests of Alaska is about 27,000,000 board feet, mostly spruce. Domestic exports in 1909 were: Corn, $24,299,000; wheat, $48,978,000; cotton, 461,377,000; oil, $99,749,000. The President's mail amounts to about one thousand letters a day and four thousand newspapers and books. Chicory, used to mix with coffee, is the oldest known adulterant of food. In some cheap restaurants the coffee is often half chicory. Sylvester Babbitt, of Enfield, N. H., who is 82 years old, husked 407 bushels of corn this fall. Hiram Young, 90 years old, of West Lebanon, has been slating the Dartmouth College roof, 90 feet from the ground. Joseph H. Hodgdon, of Dover, 90 years old, drives about the streets of that city alone. Stephen J. Roberts, of Clarmont, 89 years old, is making his annual visit to Nek York city, unaccompanied. Kansas City announces an innovation in police equipment. It has provided its motorcycle "cops" with first aid to the injured kits. Lady Juliet Duff, the tall and handsome daughter of the marchioness of Ripon, has taken a gigantic task of charity on her shoulders—that of raising $500,000 for the London Charing Cross Hospital, which because of its heavy debts is practically closed. There are invested in industrial enterprises in Cochin-China $19,300,000, of which France has furnished about $8,299,000, and foreigners, Chinese chiefly, the balance. An All-Russian Anni-Tuberculosis Association has been formed, with headquarters at Moscow. which he had raised himself, tracing the various stages of progress from preparing the soil and selecting the seed to the object lesson presented for the inspection of his audience. In his story he made use of what he had learned in composition, grammar, mathematics and agriculture. He know his subject throughly and handled it so well that an applauding audience rewarded his effort. A whimsical definition of cauliflower is "a cabbage with a college education." The Tuskegee boy showed how it could receive that and still remain a cabbage, though a king of its class. It is with such homely illustrations that he takes the reader with him over the new paths that he has been blazing through what has helped to make very promising territory. He believes in making the foundation strong, trusting to the rearing of the superstructure in good time.—Editorial; Boston Transcript. BOSTON LOSS. For now nearly eight years a group of colored people in the city of Boston have kept up a constant and often a senseless agitation of the "color question." The white people of Boston have been reminded almost daily, in season and out of season, that they have colored people in their midst who are treated differently from the rest of the human family. The agitators have stuck to their job. What is the result? What has Boston gained through this senseless and unwise agitation? Let us examine the facts. Twelve or fifteen years ago the colored people of Boston were represented in the city council by at least one colored man. Now, unless we are greatly mistaken, they have none. Twelve or fifteen years ago the colored people usually had at least one colored man in the lower house of the Legislature. Now they have none. Ten or twelve years ago the colored people were represented by having one of their number a member of the city school board; now they have no representation. A few years ago the colored people were oven honored by having one-of their number a member of the Governor's Council; now they have no such representation. Formerly the colored people of Massachusetts were honored by having one of their number sent as a delegate or alternate to every National Republican Convention; now they are not accorded such representation. We ask again, what has this insane and blind policy of perpetual agitation gained for the colored people of Boston.—New York Age. PROVERBS AND PHRASES. I am not the rose, but I have lived near the rose.—H. B. Constant. Life let us cherish while yet the tac per glows. And the fresh flowers pluck ere it close; Why are we fond of toll and care?

FARMERS CONFERENCE BENEFICIAL NORTH CAROLINA, NEGROES LISTENED TO MANY ABLE ADDRESSES AT CONVENTION. Greenesboro, N. C.—(Special.)—The largest number of Negro farmers that has ever assemble at one place in North Carolina, for their peculiar interest met in the second annual Farmer's conference at the North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical college for the colored face in this city: Dr. James B. Dudley, the president of this excellent institution, is a potent factor in the farmers' activities in his state and this enthusiastic meeting, that was highly beneficial, is due largely to the great work of Doctor Dudley. Every section of the state was represented. Lectures the first day were by Professor Conover, of the state department of agriculture and Doctor Flower, assistant state veterinarian. Among the farmers who spoke during the afternoon of the first day were: J. K. Lytle and S. W. Slade. Their talks were practical and evinced much good. The sessions on the second day were given over to lectures and practical demonstrations. In the foremon lecture were given by Professor Conver and Doctor Flowe. The farmers were deeply interested in a clinic of sick animals which was held by Doctor Flowe. Following an address by C. R. Hudson, state agent for the farmers' co-operative demonstration work, Bureau of Plant Industry, Washington, D. C., the farmers' expressed themselves on various phases of farm activities. W. R. Richardson of Anson county, said that during the past year he had made on 20 acres of land 16 bales of cotton; 300 bushels of corn; 110 bushels of wheat; 130 bushels of oats,and sold $100.00 worth of hcgs. S. W. White of Cararrus county, proved himself to be witty and yet philosophical. He, in part, said; "My motto is never let your wagon break down going away from town, but let it break down going to town with things to sell." The third day was "Seed Corn Day." The following prominent men gave practical and comprehensive lectures that absorbed the attention of every farmer to the extent that made many queries: C. R. Hudson, state agent; Professor Burgess from the state department of agriculture; Professor Sherman, state entomologist; Professor C. K. Graham of Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute, and Mr. Long, a farmer trustee of the institution, but now connected with the department of agriculture, in charge of the farmers' cooperative demonstration work. The last day the cardinal features were the lectures of Doctor Stedman of the National department of agriculture; two lectures on spraying and spraying mixtures by Professor Sherman.-George F. King. CANADIANS STOP NEGROES. Not Allowed to Cross Into the Dominion of Canada From United States. Washington, D. C.—(Special.)—State department officials are inclined to believe that too broad a construction has been given to the action of Canadian officials at Winnipeg in stopping a party of Negroes from the United States who sought to cross the boundry into Canada. It is believed that if such action was taken, it was based upon objections to the individuals of the party. If it should appear, however, that the Dominion government has decided to exclude a whole class of American citizens because of their color, the state department would probably feel called upon to protest. COLOR LINE IN RELIGION. Conference Decides That Disciples of the Lowly Nazarine Cannot Mix With Negroes. Washington, D. C.—(Special.)—At the interstate conference of the Salvation Army, held in the First Congregational church, a decision was practically reached that the welfare of the organization, particularly in the South, demanded a separation of the white and colored workers. A spirited debate ensued when the question was broached, and Southern delegates clamored for segregation, while those from the North vigorously opposed such a revolutionary course. As an outcome steps will be taken to organize a Negro Salvation Army in the South, with a full equipment of Negro officers from top to bottom. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. It is not generally known, but to prevent cakes from burning, place a little bran at the bottom of the tins. This will save a lot of grumbling and vexation. If shoes have been thoroughly wet do not attempt to dry them near the stove. Rub in plenty of vaselline or plain lard, and let them stand in a cool place several days, and much of the original oil will be restored. Try rubbing soap and chalk mixed on the mildewed spots in clothing. Soiled velvet collars may be cleaned by scraping a little pipe clay or French chalk over them. Then brush off with a stiff brush. A teaspoonful of lemon juice to a quart of water will make rice' very white and keep the grains separate when boiled. HIGH EFFICIENCY SHOWN BY COLORED APPLICANTS HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS IN WASHINGTON EMBARRASSED BY COLOR OF SOME CLERKS. IGNORE CIVIL SERVICE RULES In But Few Instances Are Members of Cabinet Aware of 'Washington, D. C.—(Special.)—Owing to the high degree of efficiency shown by colored applicants who take the civil service' examinations for positions in the governmental departments here, the heads of the various divisions are becoming more embarrassed each day, as they experienced little trouble in trying to draw the color line when it is generally known that it is the policy of Uncle Sam to make civil service appointments with merit as the chief requisite and irrespective of color or religion'. Many calefs of divisions who not look with favor on the appointment of colored clorks, no matter how intelligent and efficient, have been guilty of ignoring the civil service commission rules completely. In the future all attempts at discrimination are to be placed before the president and the cabinet officers for consideration. It is said that in but few instances is a member of the cabinet aware of the drawing of the color line in the department of which he is head. The laftest tip sent out by chiefs of divisions who are opposed to the appointment of colored clerks, is that all white applicants should learn shorthand and typewriting. While the civil service rules do not call for these requirements within the past few years many, colored applicants who have successfully passed the examinations have been refused positions because they were not stenographers. Instances can be cited in which young colored men and women have been notified of their appointment and summoned to Washington, but upon arriving have been informed by the chief of division that some mistake had been made, and that a clerk was wanted who could write short hand and use a typewriter. A notable example of discrimination took place a little over two years ago when a young colored woman, whose home is in Mississippi, received owdr that she had been appointed to a clerkship in one of the departments at Washington. She went to the capitol city to go to work, but when the chief of division saw that she was colored she was told that a mistake had been made. The young woman, quickly sizing up the situation, combated the idea that there had been a mistake in appointing her, but the chief of division refused to allow her to work, and she was compelled to return to her home in Mississippi. TAFT NOMINATES NEGRO. William Lewis of Boston is Named an Assistant Attorney General of United States. Washington, D. C.—(Special.)—President Taff nominated William H. Lewis of Boston, a Negro, to be an Assistant Attorney General of the Department of Justice. This is the first time a Negro has been named for such a prominent position. Lewis is at present an Assistant United States Attorney at Boston. He will succeed John G. Thompson, who resigned recently to take up law practice in Danville, Ill. The place pays $5,000 a year. NEGRO-WHO WAS KU-KLUX. Henry Toole, of Rock Hill, South Carolina and his Good Rock Hill, S. C.—(Special.)—Henry Toole is, and has been, a prominent man of his race, but not as a politician. His prominence is due to the fact that he has always been a good citizen and influence for good with his people. He was one in the troubulous days of reconstruction and his convictions and policy gained for him the unique distinction of heing, perhaps the only Negro who was imprisoned as a "Khu-Klux." Henry is proud of the fact that he spent three weeks in York jail, with the young men of Rock Hill, who were confined there then. He has by care and intelligence made a success of his business and is the owner of valuable property here. His commission as notary public, issued by former Governor Heyward, is one of his valued possessions, and the fact that it has been revoked, recently does not rob him of the honor of having been considered forthy of it. EX- SLAVE DEAD AT 105. Born in Virginia in 1807, Negro Woman Dies in Seattle Washington. Seattle, Wash.—(Specfal.) — Mary Wray, who was born a slave, in Virginia, in February, 1907, died here her 105th year. In her childhood she was sold to John Lovell, of Nashville Tenn, on whose plantation she lived until the close of the war. She helped to cut and haul ties for the first raidroad built into Nashville.

The course of development runs in two lines: The royal, the course as represented by the kings, the civil iaistory, and the religious development, represented largely by the prophets. The kingdom of Judah was about half as large as Israel. Its capital was Jerusalem, and the temple was the religious center. Large numbers of-the more religious people came to Judah from Israel. Judah was sheltered from attack on the north by Israel's being between them and the nearest and, most dangerous ene mies, walle a desert was a great de fense on the south. This position also saved them from close contact with heathenism and its degreda: tions, The leading kings were Rehoboam, 17 years; Asa, 40 years; Jehosaphat, 25 years, Under Asa and Jehosaphat there were great religious revivais and religious reforms, alternating with declines, Here was a great struggle between good and evil, and the good seems to have gained. In a few cases there were revelations from God, He did: eversthing he could to keep the people obedient to “his laws, and train them in the relig jous life, that they might be the king. dom of God to bless the world. There were a few prophets of whoni little 1s known save thei¢ names. The con- filet of religion with evil in Judah, though not ending in complete vic- tory, made a decided gain for the right. Why do we celebrate and praise our forefathers? Not simply because ‘they were stout-hearted. Many 4 free. Doster and many a soldier of fortune has been that.

Gum and Bacteria. Grieg Smith reports in the journat jot the Royal Society of New South: Wales the results of his mvestigatton of the part played by bacteria in the formation of various vegetable cums. The action of the bacteria appears to be more complex than might have been supposed. There are, for in- stance, two kinds of gum arabic, ore soluble in water, the other insoluble. and Mr, Smita finds that they are produced by two distinct kinds of bacteria, By the cultivation of sult- able species of bacteria it is possible to augment the producticn of gum. by certain trees, Under ordinary circumstances some spectes of gum- making bacteria live and multiply without the production of an apprecia- ble quantity of gum, both the product is markedly {ucreased furnishing tan- nin to the micro-organisms.

Industrial education is the very backbone of future advancement of the Negro generally, or, in other words, it is a basis on which he must stand that he will be equal to or prepared for conditions that confront him with advancing periods and its many new problems. I refer to the masses of the Negroes. I do not advocate that he should wholly eliminate a classic education, for there must, be some (a minority), educated in the higher branches to be fitted for their respective positions in the vocations where such training is a necessity. The needs of today and all times to come are what must be considered. The demand regulates prices or values in anything, be it hired or be it purchased. The demand of the day more than ever, and it is my opinion that it will increase as the years pass, is for the man, black or white, who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow, as the Good Book tells us it must be done, to do it with a trained brain and a trained hand working co-operatively together. You read and hear of a great deal of intelligent labor and the various tryouts of different mankind in the various industrial fields, in order to find the best-suited services for respective industrial pursuits, and that being true, now the advancing demand will increase the standard of the qualification of labor; hence we must be prepared for advancing condition. No one will deny that in the last ten years that there has been a wonderful leap, almost phenomenal, in the stand ard of all vocations, and industrialism has not been an exception to this advancement. The very many varied inventions of today for industrial use and those to come being with them demands higher intelligence, a more skillful hand for their proper manipulation. Go through one of the many industrial schools of today—you will there get an idea of the many and varied tools and appliances in use, as well as some conception of a trained brain working with a trained hand, thus emphasizing an impression of the necessity of fitness for the nour Industrial schools are not intended to make a finished workman, no more than a college is expected to perfect its graduates in their literary pursuits; and it ought not be expected that a young man or a young woman, coming out of an industrial school, should be the master of their respective trades. It is a beginning; it is the fitting of one to grow and perfect himself or herself in their chosen work. It is the laying of a good and powerful foundation on which to build and to build solidly, substantially and well to whatever heights his or her ambition may aspire. And, too, it gives him a weapon of defense to defend himself in any crisis and puts him in a happy position to surmount all obstacles between him and his goal, for with a trade (be it rudimentary) he can climb any heights to which he might aspire; be it in the industrial field or be it in the classical halls with the minority; the industrial qualification or stock in trade, being used as a stepping stone to the accomplishment of the desired end. The hustle and bustle of today in the wage-earning field with its many and varied demands, call for serious thought and consideration of the Negro more than any one else, should he expect to pat foot in harmony with the music of the age. The door of hope to many well-developed green fields of industrial work is closed and is being closed against him, and he must look in the distant future and prepare himself for the inevitable and make full preparation, for come it must as night follows day; I have no patience with the man or men with their fancied and foolish ideas of working wholly on theory; such men are obsolete and are lost in the great advance of the age in its onward stride of practicability. This has gotten to be a world of doing things, turning out something, and nor an age of a fellow sitting upon the high pinnacle or tower of classic waiting for the masses to come up to him and bring him bread; and, too, it is not the age to be raven-fed; but rather such beings will furnish food for the vultures of the air, because of death from inanition, caused by inactivity. It is the man, the full-developed industrial man—he is the one who must succeed, because of his being qualified for the demands and conditions. Let the Negro, as a mass, enter the industrial field in all of its diversities, fully trained and well-fitted for its many demands and preferably the agricultural pursuits, because he can always dig it out of the ground or grow it on top of the ground; thus not being dependent upon any man or man, and I believe it to be the most independent and satisfactory vocation in life. "Back to the farm," is the slogan of today, and if the Negro does not heed the cry and heed it soon, when the impending coming of the immigrant to these beautiful and fertile fields which the balmy climate of the South materializes, and materialize it must, it will then be that he will arouse from his long slumber to sniff off his wick only to find no oil in his vessel. Then that familiar phrase of the "survival of the fittest" will be fully and completely demonstrated to the detriment and to the eternally closed door of Let Every Inmate in Georgia Rise as One Woman and Make Our Free Will Offering $15,000 MRS L.

HOPS FOR PILLOW FILLING Austrian Peasant Woman Recommends Them for Their Efficiency as Sleep Inducer and Beautifier. A man who suffered from sleeplessness picked up in Austria recently what seemed to him to be the best remedy he had ever found. It was nothing more or less than a pillow stuffed with hops. An Austrian peasant woman recommended it not alone as a sleep producer but as a beautifier as well. Returning to this country the man bought some New York hops, famous for their beer making qualities, but to his surprise they did not work as well as the hops he had tried abroad. He found out by experiment that hops that made good beer didn't necessarily produce good sleep. After he had sampled a lot of different kinds of hops he found that by mixing hops grown in Bohemia with hops grown in California and Oregon he got a combination which seemed to answer all purposes in the sleep producing line. He decided that he had hit it right when he took a couple of pillows he had stuffed with this combination in his office downtown home with him on the elevated. He got in at Rector street carrying the pillow and sat in one of the double seats. Two men and a messenger boy sat with him. At Fifty-ninth street all three were in 'profound slumber. Several other persons who had been reading newspapers near him were in evident distress in their efforts to keep awake. Inquiry at different drug stores seemed to indicate that the hop pillow idea was a new one, though hops have long been known to have sleep inducing qualities, as shown particularly in the case of beer. According to those who have tried hop pillows, you get all the soporific qualities of the hops in this way without breaking any temperature pledges or suffering any harmful effects. Rulng In Yucatan. There is in Yucatan a chain of ruins 300 miles long, where once stood buildings richly decorated and erected with a vast amount of architectural knowledge. The buildings belonged to the stone age, when the remarkable figures in stone were carved with pieces of flint. The people of this age had not the use of either bronze or iron.

I am so deeply interested in the welfare of the Order and the call to arms of fifteen thousand Ruths to rally around our standard-bearer in helping to raise the $50,000, for a building in Atlanta, that I can not refrain from taking this method of seconding the earnest appeal that Sister R. L. Barnes has made to the inmates throughout her jurisdiction. I have such implicit confidence in the loyalty of our women, that I do not believe there will be any faltering in our ranks, but that every sister will do her full share to make this $50,000 rally a unit. In co-operating with my good sister, I earnestly appeal to the Ruths of the State to respond freely to the call of our husbands, brothers, and fathers, that the Odd Fellow building shall be a complete realization before June, 1912, when the efforts and struggles of the administration are for the furtherance and progress of the grand old Order, whose growth, success and prosperity demonstrate its moral worth and financial strength, then if by our combine support we can encourage and assist the present forces to erect a building that will ever perpetuate the name of the Order in this State; then the administration should have the unanimous support of every Odd Fellow and Ruth in the State, as it will not only be beneficial to the Odd Fellows of this State, but to the humblest Negro who has a scintilla of race pride. My last word is, Let us give freely the paltry sum of one dollar to help lessen the burden and responsibility of our brothers and make the prospective building a real building—a monument to the Georgia Odd Fellows; for we can do anything we wish to do, and I know that you will do this.
