The Savannah Tribune VOL. XXVI. A WORLD-WIDE STEEL ENTNETE Judge Gary Preaches His Gospel to Foreign Magnates. ALL INDORSE HIS POSITION. Representatives of the Great Plants in All the Countries of the World Attend the International Conference. Brussels.—The steel interests of America, Canada, England, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Austria and Spain were represented by 16 delegates who met in conference here preliminary to the formation of an internationalal association broadly similar to the American Institute. Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, presided. During the first session of two hours, when there was a free discussion, all who took part approved in principle the organization of an international body. Judge Gary, who was elected chairman of the conference, explained somewhat fully his views concerning a high-minded corporation in business. "Suppose," said he, "that a company of men engaged in business and possessing much capital, power and influence, should by their conduct, unjust or oppressive, secure universal disapproval, disgust and antagonism on the part of the public. In a brief space of time these men would be driven out of business. "Suppose a producer of any commodity for sale should, in any way within his power illtreat all of his customers, how long would it be before the producer would be in bankruptcy? Golden Rule In Business. "Suppose an employer of labor manifestly treated his employees unfairly and poorly. In time as a result of the action of those interested, aided by public sentiment, a remedy would be found and this after a great interruption of business and a loss of money. "Again let us assume that during a given year the demand for a product equals less than one-half of the capacity to produce and yet each producer is greedy and anxious to sell more than his fair proportion and acts accordingly and this attitude is maintained until destructive results which we all know are almost certain to be realized." It would be difficult, the chairman continued, to bring about an ideal in business, yet a right disposition, courage, patience and the application of the highest thought might reach that position. The first essential to this was thorough acquaintance and frequent intercourse. "There should be established and continuously maintained," Judge Gary said, "a business friendship which compels one to feel the same concern for his neighbor that he has for himself. It is no less in principle than the Golden Rule applied to business. Is it possible? If it is it will be certain to pay. True it is that sometimes, and too often, deceit is practiced and that advantage has been taken by those who have been given confidence by others, but this fact should dishearten no one." Seaa Steel Trust In It. Washington.—If it should develop, as many believe, that the conference of steel men representing the industry in the United States, Canada, England, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Austria and Spain, held at Brussels, was for the purpose of preventing international competition, the American steel men who participated in it will be liable to criminal prosecution under the Sherman Anti-Trust law, in the opinion of the leading legal authority of the House. MORE TROOPSTO QUIT BORDER Taft Plans Gradual Exodus of Soldiers From Texas. Washington.—Further movements of troops from San Antonio to their regular stations will be made within the next few weeks, in addition to the several regiments to be withdrawn as announced a week ago. According to a statement by Maj-Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the army, it is the purpose of President Taft to bring about the gradual evacuation of San Antonio and the Southwest by the troops rushed there last March in connection with the Mexican situation. This will be accomplished gradually until the division is reduced to a mere nucleus. GREEN APPLES (Copyright, 191L) 它又 COMMISSION FOR TRUSTS Bill Introduced By Senator New-lands---Interstate Trade Corporation Washington.—An interstate trade commission of five members to control industrial corporations, as the Inter-State Commerce Commission controls the railroads, was advocated in a bill introduced by Mr. Newlands, of Nevada. Mr. Newlands in a statement accompanying that measure contended that the Standard Oil and Tobacco decisions and the recent government report on the steel industry demonstrated the need of "an independent, quasl-judicial and administrative tribunal of great character and dignity as far removed from partisan control as are the courts." The plan is to apply only to industrial corporations engaged in inter-state trade whose annual receipts exceed $5,000,000. B. W. FRANCIS G. NEWLANDS. United States Senator from Nevada. Mr. Newlands' statement was by way of urging the passage of a bill which he introduced providing for this commission. His measure would separate the Bureau of Corporations from the Department of Commerce and Labor and merge the bureau into a commission of inter-state trade, with the Commissioner of Corporations a member of the new commission. It would require all the industrial corporations having receipts exceeding $5,000,000 to make satisfactory statements as to capitalization, finances and operations, such corporations to be known as "United States registered" companies. It proposes to make lack of such registration an "indication of something wrong." Mr. Newlands declared that if such legislation had replaced or aided the Sherman Anti-trust act over 20 years ago this country would have advanced as far in the regulation of industrial organizations as it has in railroad regulation. He referred to recent expressions of Mr. Gary, of the Steel Corporation, and others as indicating that the great corporation managers recognize that public regulation is now inevitable. Taft Favors a Parcels Post Washington.—In a letter to John M. Stahl, of Chicago, legislative agent of the Farmers' National Congress, Secretary to the President Hilles has stated that Mr. Taft, in his next message to Congress, will recommend without qualification the establishment of a general parcels post. Mr. Hilles said the President's views had been strengthened by further investigations by the Postoffice Department since he urged in his last annual message the adoption of the parcels post on rural delivery routes. SAVANNAH, GA; SATURDAY; JULY 15, 1911. Wilson BOY BLOWN TO BITS BY BOMB Dynamite at Scene of Safe and Sane Display. HE HURLED STONE AT IT. Two Companions Hurt and Not Expected to Live---Curiosity of Three New York Boys Ends in a Tragedy. New York.—Sixteen-year-old Joseph Sennelll was literally blown to pieces and two of his companions, Joseph and John Grecco, 12 and 14 years old, respectively, were fatally wounded when a dynamite bomb they had found in the street exploded. Sennelll lived at No. 1243 Brooklyn avenue, Brooklyn, and the other two youngsters at No. 1279 the same avenue. The three boys had been interested spectators at the Fourth of July celebration given by the Vandeveer Park Taxpayers' Association, in front of public school No. 89, at Newkirk avenue and East Thirty-first street, Flatbush. They had planned to get up early and visit the scene of the display, in the hope of finding anything of value that might have been dropped by the large number of persons who had been present. The Grecco boys were up before 7 o'clock, and after calling for Sennelli, started for the public school. The only articles of value found were two neatly wrapped packages. They looked very much like small-sized cans of vegetables. They were wrapped in tissue paper and tied with heavy cord. They took the can to Sennell's home, where they decided to find out what it contained. After removing the wrapping one of the youngsters produced a penknife and tried to open the can, but finding this impossible, threw it to the stone walk. Nothing happened. Then Joseph Grecco got a cobblestone and dropped it on the can. Instantly there was a blinding flash. Houses in the neighborhood were shaken, windows broken and many persons in the neighborhood were hurled to the sidewalk. When the smoke cleared away the body of Sennelll was found 30 feet away. His head was practically blown from his body, his arms were ripped from their sockets, fingers from one of his hands being picked up across the street. His hatchet and jacket were found 25 feet up in a tree. The two Grecco boys, almost as badly mangled as their dead companions, were found several feet away. Both were unconscious. They were hurried to Kings County Hospital, but the physicians say there is little hope of saving their lives. Vaughan Koster Dead Alexandria, Va.—Vaughan Kester, author of The Prodigal Judge and other works, died, at his historic home, Gunston Hall, on the Potomac. He had a cancer of the neck. Kester was a native of Ohio and 41 years old. He was a brother of Paul Kester, an author and playwright. He leaves a widow. Ecuadorian Diplomat Killed Quayaquill, Ecuador. — General Emilio Maria Teran, formerly Ecuadorian Minister to Great Britain, was shot and killed at Quito by Colonel Quirola following a quarrel over private matters THE CAUSE NOT YET KNOWN General Bixby Says the Work So Far Proves Nothing. Washington.—A board of naval officers, experts in explosives, is being selected by the Navy Department to study the hull of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor, as the water is pumped from the cofferdam now surrounding the wreck. Because of the necessarily slow progress of the work weeks probably will elapse before the experts will be able to inspect the keel of the former warship, but the board will proceed to Havana as soon as its personnel is made known, and will remain with the work until it is finished. The Navy Department officers are convinced that the examination will prove the correctness of the Sampson board, which decided the destructive explosion which sunk the Maine was caused by a torpedo or mine, and that the explosion of the ship's magazines followed. In view of the renewed interest attaching to the actual cause of the destruction of the Maine, resulting from the uncovering of the wreck by the Army engineers, Gen. W. H. Bixby, chief of engineers, who has just returned from Havana, issued the following signed statement: "The work of unwatering the Maine so far proves nothing as to the origin of the explosion of the magazines, but already shows such extensive destruction of the forward part of the boat that it is quite probable that fuller unwatering will fall to give any proofs, either way, as to the origin of such explosions. I have so far made no reports or statements as to the cause of the explosion." AFTER EXPRESS COMPANIES Resolution Calling for Report of Every Phrase of Business. Washington.—A resolution calling for a report from the Inter-state Commerce Commission by January 4 next on nearly every phase of the express business, including a comparison of rates with railroad rates, physical valuation, operating methods, duplication of directors in express and railroad companies, etc., was introduced by Representative Burlison, of Texas. Mr. Burleson denounced the recent rate reduction by the express companies as a bluff to head off legislation and not intended to have any permanency. A. ALBERT 8. BULESON Congressman From Tenth District of Texas. He originally sought this information in a resolution directing such an investigation by the Department of Commerce and Labor, but changed to the Inter-state Commerce Commission because the latter, already had spent $20,000 on such an inquiry, and in all probability would be able to report by the end of the year. "EAGLE" K.LLED 29, HURT 1,217 Casualties In United States From Celebration of Fourth. Chicago.—Latest reports on the number of casualties in the United States due to the celebration of the Fourth of July show that 39 lives were sacrificed and 1,217 were injured, as compared with 44 killed and 2,485 injured last year, and 62 killed and 3,346 injured in 1909. Fireworks claimed 18 victims, firearms, 12; gunpowder, 5, and toy pistols, 3, according to the reports received by Chicago newspapers. To Strengthen Ties. Tokio.—To strengthen the entente cordiale between the two countries, a movement has been started to have Japan and the United States exchange college professors. Wealthy Japanese have expressed willingness to defray the expenses of the Japanese professors going to America. It was announced that overtures are being made to American educators Two smooth swindlers, who posed as thieves, but were really patrons of a Market street dealer in cheap jewelry, have fleeced a number of Tenderloin characters of large sums of money in the last.two weeks through applying modern methods to an old trick. One of their victims, William Snyder, proprietor of a resort in North Ninth street, has appealed to the police for the arrest of the men, in hopes of recovering the $500 they got from him for six pieces of glass, which he mistook for diamonds. At the suggestion of the swindlers Snyder took two of the diamonds to a pawnbroker; who offered to lend him $350 upon them. Snyder hastened back to where the swindlers were waiting and said that he would buy the six for $500. But one of the rogues, pretending to suspect that Snyder had carried information to the police, snatched the two stones from his hand and moved as though determined to depart. Snyder, fearing to lose the chance to buy the diamonds, hastily borrowed $500 and gave it to the strangers. In return, they handed him six glittering pieces of glass. It was not long after their departure that Snyder discovered that he had been swindled.—Philadelphia North-American. DIGNITY OF PUBLIC OFFICE Glossary of Words Used in Ordinary Debate by New York Law-makers. For the benefit of the large number of students of parliamentary practice, senatorial procedure and all the dignified details of lawmaking as conducted in this state, we have collected from various reports of the recent debate in the state senate over the highway bill the following glossary of words useful in orderly discussion: Snake, hyena, swine, bull, squealer, welcher, liar, thief, hog, mug, swill, flipflap. For the purposes of accuracy it should be noted that the "hog" was "blind," the bull "red-eyed" and that "black perfidy" was honored by distinguished mention. Nor should there be the slightest suggestion of any partisan or geographical superiority in vocabulary. Saratoga and the Bowery divided the honors. Such debates as this permit a patriotic people to behold in its proper setting the true and inherent dignity which public office bestows upon all those who, even for the briefest time, occupy it—New York Sun. ALLIGATOR HARD TO KILL An alligator's tenacity of life is remarkable. "I remember one time," says an English traveler in India, "I was with a shooting party on the Ganges, when the natives brought in a six-foot alligator. They hoped some one would want to buy it; but no one did, so it was determined to kill the creature. It was hauled out of the tank and tied to a tree. Bullets from a small rifle or an ordinary 12-bore gun seemed to only irritate the saurian; and he did not seem to care very much when a native thrust a spear down his throat. Finally they were obliged to get axes and chop off its head. Even then the tail thrashed around, and the body was almost cut to pieces before all movement ceased." EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE On the occasion of the annual encampment of a western militia, one of the soldiers, a clerk, who lived well at home, was experiencing much difficulty in disposing of his rations. A fellow sufferer nearby was watching with no little amusement the first soldier's attempts to Fletcherize a piece of meat. "Any trouble, Tom?" asked the second soldier sarcastically. "None in particular," was the response. Then, after a sullen survey of the bit of beef he held in his hand, the amateur fighter observed: "Bill, I now fully realize what people mean when they speak of the sinns of war."—Lippincott's. Walk on Our Own Feet. Work With Our Own Hands and Speak Our Own Minds. If the single man plant himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to him. Patience—patience; with the shades of all the good and great for company; and for solace the perspective of your own infinite life; and for work the study and communication of principles, the making of those instincts prevalent, the conversion of the world. Is it not the chief disgrace of the world not to be a unit—not to be reckoned with one character—not to yield that peculiar fruit which each man was created to bear, but to be reckoned in the gross, in the hundred, or the thousand, of the party, the section to which we belong; and our opinion predicted geographically, as the north or the south? Not so, brothers—and friends—please God, ours shall not be so; we will walk on our own feet; we will work with our own hands; we will speak our own minds. The study of letters shall no longer be a name for pity, for doubt, and for sensual indulgence. The dread of man and the love of man shall be a wall of defense and a wreath of joy around all. A nation of men will for the first time exist, because each believes himself, inspired by the divine soul, which also inspires all men.—From Ralph Waldo Emerson's address on "The American Scholar" before the Harvard Phi Beta Kappa in 1837. IN THE MUSEUM The Ossified Man—The Bearded Woman borrowed a dollar two weeks ago and never repaid it. She's a barefaced fraud. The Human Skeleton—She touched you for a dollar, eh? Well, you're not half as hard as you look. ELECTRIC CHURCH CROSS. The gilded cross, 12 feet high by 9 feet wide, on the great steeple of St. Mel's church, Chicago, has its north and south faces outlined with 70 electric incandescent lamps, for illumination during church festivals. The-effect is very striking, even at great distances. The Louisville Roman Catholic cathedral and other churches wjll probably follow suit, as the innovation is giving rise to favorable comment among church people.—Popular Mechanics. TAKING RISKS. The city editor was looking over the new reporter's manuscript. "I notice," he said, "you use the phrase 'puzzled to death.' I should like to have you tell me how a man can be puzzled to death." "Well, he might be 'riddled with bullets,'" answered the new reporter. That nearly cost him his job, but his youth—and his good record, up to that time—saved him. SYSTEM IN HIS SEARCH. Patient—I understand that you and the undertaker of this town are not on speaking terms. Doctor—That's right; what about it? Patient—Nothing; only you are just the doctor I am looking for.—Exchange. "Has Jonesby any standing in the automobile club?" "No; the chump's never been arrested once since he got his motor car." AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS As is usual at this time of the year a large number of young men and women are coming out of the higher graded school, some of them returning to take up higher branches in the schools and some of them to look around to see just where they are going to cast their lots and start out to make a living. It would be well for these young men and women to remember that they have not received an education in the schools from which they have graduated, and received their degree; they have only received the foundation upon which an education can be built if the student so desires. The education will come later, but it will require the same amount, if not more energy to get it than was expended for the foundation in the schoolroom. There has been no change in the law that says a man must earn his bread by the sweat of his face, and if any student coming out of school is going to sit down and expect, because of his or her degree, the world is going to pour its wealth into his lap, he will wake up some day to find he is very much mistaken. Out of the thousands of youth who will make their advent upon the stage of action, none of them will find as many obstacles placed in their way as the colored young men and women, but if they succeed, and why should they not, the greater will be their reward. So while they enter the race, knowing they are handicapped from the start, there is so much more the reason why they should count the cost, and with a determination that cannot be overcome mount up and up until the pinnacle shall have been reached. Let them make up their minds that "Honor and fame from no condition rise. "Act well your part, therein the honor lies." —Afro-American Ledger. The work that the African Methodist Episcopal church is doing for foreign and domestic missions was told at the annual meeting in New York of the board of missions of the denomination, Bishop C. T. Shaffer of Chicago presided. The third annual report of the secretary of the department, Rev. Dr. W. W. Beckett, showed that the receipts for missions from various sources amounted to $35,000, over half of which was realized from the Easter Day collections. Besides making appropriations for the work of the denomination in Canada, the West Indies, South America, West and South Africa, the board passed a very flattering resolution commending Dr. Beckett's administration of the office of missionary secretary—Charleston Messenger. In many rural communities in the south, school farms are operated in conjunction with the negro schools. The proceeds from these farm schools is used in most cases to run the school for a month or two longer than the state or county appropriation will allow. In Macon county, Alabama, alone there are 39 such farms, representing 117 acres. Last year $500 clear of expenses was made upon school farms in Macon county, which meant that much money, in addition to the county appropriation, was spent for negro education. More and more each year the negro is learning to increase the school term and improve school houses.—Southern Letter. The Dallas Express does not advocate negroes preferring each other in business as a matter of prejudice, but in order that the negro may have employment other than that of a menial. The colored store is the hope of the colored salesman. The colored bank and trust company is the hope of the colored clerk, bookkeeper and agent. The colored school and church are the hope of the colored teacher and minister; and so goes the story from one end of the country to the other, and from ocean to ocean in all things above the range of the common laborer or household servant, with exceptions as scarce as angels. Among the Afro-Americans, as among all other peoples, a big business enterprise of the True Reformer type occasionally fails. But such failures are few and far between. For the moment a large number of individuals may feel that no confidence can be placed in men of color to manage big undertakings. But these spells of despair soon wear out and we continue to lend aid and support to those race enterprises still in operation. Doesn't this prove that we are swinging around to a broader and saner view of life's uncertain activities?—Southern Life Magazine. There are many hindrances in the pathway of the aspiring negro; but let it not be forgotten that there are open doors that no enemy can close. In the professions, in the church, school, home, and hundreds of industrial avenues, we have a field for our highest activities. No one can prevent the blackest man from living a clear life. No one can rob us of the fruits of a Christian character nor the sweetness of lofty ideals.—The National Union (Washington, D. C.) John Wilson, a colored man, has been granted by the New Jersey courts the right to the old Wain estate, at Wainford, Monmouth county, N. J., after several years litigation. The property was deeded to him by his former employer, Mrs. Sarah Wain Hendrickson, a member of a socially prominent Philadelphia family, who died in March, 1907. Wilson's right to the property was challenged by Richard C. Wain and other nephews and nieces of Mrs. Hendrickson. Yesterday, however, Vice Chancelor Walker, at Trenton filed an opinion granting the colored man the rights to the property. The case will be appealed, Wilson has been in possession since his benefactress' death. In the wardrobes of Wainford are many fine specimens of old time clothing almost priceless in value. If the division of the Peabody fund is made according to the plan that was announced several weeks ago, and if a proportionate share according to the Negro's population is made to the deserving youth, more than one hundred thousand dollars will be set aside for the Normal, Agricultural and Mechanical college that is located in Nashville. It has been found, after some investigation, that the money for the Peabody Normal school, such as has been used from time to time for that school, where only whites attend, should have been divided in proportion to the population wherever the schools were separate, between the Negroes and whites, but since there was no distinctly Negro school until recently, it is supposed that this accounts for the failure to divide the fund. Mr. John G. Muller, a retired manufacturer, formerly of New York, living at Oneonta, N. Y., called his coachman and said: "Grover, I'm a pretty sick man, and you have always been a good boy. I am going to make out a check for $5." "Yes, slr," said Henderson and waited. When he took the check he almost fell over with astonishment when he saw that it read for $5,000. Mr. Muller was so impressed by the man's gratitude that he called Henderson back and gave him another check for $5,000. The coachman has a wife and two little children, and intends to see to it that the $10,000 shall contribute very much to their comfort and happiness. There would be very little conflict between capital and labor, if labor were always thus devoted and capital thus generous.—The Echo. A number of the leading colored men of Memphis have secured concessions from the Tri-State Fair association and will hold a great fair and industrial exhibition in this city October 5, 6, 7. The grounds of the white fair will be used and many of the exhibits will be left intact. Farmers, business men and the schools will be important factors. There is an educational value to these exhibits. They show what the race has accomplished along all lines and serve as a stimulus and an inspiration to others. Let the progressive citizens get together and make of this one of the largest fairs ever held by our people in the south—Memphis News. When a backward race gets far enough advanced to attract widespread attention and command a healthy opposition, no better evidence of its progress is needed. When the negro was a slave he had no opposition because he was not in competition with the white man. But 50 years of freedom have brought him to the point where he is debated on in college, written about in the magazines and newspapers, discussed in politics, preached on from the pulpit, argued about in homes and even made the subject of drama. None but a rising people could command all this attention. The average earnings of graduates and former students from Tuskegee institute is about $700 per year. That of the average negro person is about $300 a year or less. That is to say, an individual from Tuskegee institute, in addition to the habits of thrift and industry which he has acquired, through his increased earning capacity has also much more to invest in property than the ordinary man. The negro must learn to withstand temptation, to economize, to exercise thrift, to disregard the superficial for the real; the shadow for the substance, to be great and yet small, to grow so strong in skill and knowledge that he shall place his service in demand by reason of his intrinsic and superior worth.—The Progressive Age (Atlanta, Tex.) The negro must continue to treat the white man with courtesy and politeness, as well as members of his own race. All white men are not negro haters. The negro has many white friends, and if the negro will treat his white friends right they will treat him right.—Little Rock Gulde. Study not evil against your neighbor, for your enemies have bad thoughts of you. Curse ye, Meroz, said the angel of the Lord, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty.—Judges 5:23. It was the custom in ancient times to celebrate signal victories in battles with a song or ode composed for and inspired by the occasion itself. Frequently the representative women composed and led the song. On the successful passage of the Red sea by the Israelites and the overthrow of Pharaoh and his hosts, Miriam, the distinguished sister of Moses and Aaron, led the populace in the famous triumphaf ode, "The Lord Hath Triumphed Gloriously, the Horse and His Rider Hath He Thrown Into the Sea." When Saul and David returned from the slaughter of the Philistines they were met by the women, who flattered David and enraged Saul by singing, "Saul Hath Slain His Thousands and David His Tens Thousands." On the occasion which gave us the text the Israelites, under Barak, had just gained a signal victory over Jabin, king of Canaan, and they celebrated the victory, according to custom, with a song. Jabin, the king, greatly oppressed Israel through Shera. Barak, instigated by Deborah, an influential mother in Israel, collected the Israelites against him. In this famous battle all the allies of Israel assisted except Merozites. The text is a part of the ode of triumph sung for the occasion. In it curses are pronounced upon the Merozites because of their failure to assist. We have here for consideration the foe. This foe is called "The Mighty," and his strength and formidableness justify the characterization. The enemy was Jabin, at the head of a powerful confederacy in the northern part of Palestine. At his command was a great army, and he took special delight in harassing Israel on account of former grievances. In his employ was one of the distinguished generals of history—Sisera. That he was intrusted with the command of the army indicates his eminence. In those times kings alone were considered adequate to so important a trust. Sisera had charge of Jabin's army. His skill and success give him rank with such warriors as Joshua, Alexander, Caesar, Washington and Napoleon. * Under him was a vast army. Joseph phus gives the number as three hundred thousand footmen, ten thousand cavalry, three hundred charlots and nine hundred iron war charlots. These last were equipped with huge iron wings and were driven, with the horses at full speed, into the ranks of the enemy, mowing them down like a scythe, or crushing them juggernautlike under their heavy wheels. This foe Barak had to face with barely ten thousand men. He needed every one that could be mustered. His call was urgent because the demands were great. Meroz failed to respond. Just so, the church today faces a formidable foe. Her enemies may appropriately be designated "The Mighty." She has to battle with: 1. Worldliness.—Worldliness, like a mighty deluge, has inundated the earth. So deeply has it submerged the society of this age that the summits of the highest mountains are scarcely visible and the tide is still rising. Instead of men turning to God and the right, they are getting farther and farther away. To vary the figure wickedness, like a mighty confession, is spreading-forest-like, over this fair land, consuming in its progress the very foundations of morals and religion. All classes are growing lax in their duties to God and the church. The old are too weak and tired to attend to religious duties; the middle-aged are too busy in quest of wealth and fame to pause to consider their souls' interests; the young are too much engaged in the pursuit of pleasure to find time for serious matters. 2. Scepticism. There is much destructive criticism abroad. Men eminent for learning and plenty are expressing blatant doubt as to the very sources of the Christian system. All this and much more the church has to face. She needs every member at his best. She calls to every one of them to come to the "help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty," as did Barak in ancient times. We consider next the failure of Meroz to respond. The call came; it was urgent and loud, but Meroz turned a deaf ear. Meroz was a province in the northern part of Palestine. Some of the chosen lived there. The offense of the Merozites was simply indifference and inaction. They were not open opponents of Israel; they did not take up arms against Barak and his army. They did not even give their moral support to the enemy. So far as we know, they actually sympathized with Barak, and, no doubt, secretly rejoiced when his arms were victorious. They merely stood hands off while the conflict raged. Instead of giving their aid. Multitudes today, like the Merozites, are indifferent and inactive. While the church fights on they are inert, but when the victory comes they are glad, and it would not be unlike human nature for them to claim the credit and talk loudly about what "we" did. The position of the Merozites pos- sibly had something to do with their attitude in this warfare. The northern part of Palestine, their home, was on the border between the enemy and their friends. Policy dictated that they be careful. If the enemy prevailed, they might need their friendship. If Israel prevailed, all would be well, and good any way they argued. They were like the steward of the parable, who made himself friendly with his master's debtors, that when he was puf out of the stewardship he might be taken in by his enemies. How like to many church members is this attitude! They want to carry the world and the church both at once. They want to be on friendly terms with both sides. They wish to maintain a position of neutrality, which is impossible. In religion there is no neutral position. What did Morez do to merit the curse of God. Nothing. That was their crime. Their position of neutrality constituted their offense. By inaction Meroz became an opponent. When God and the church need your best and you withhold it, it is the same in effect as open hostility. According to the Master's own dictum, "He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad." We have, in conclusion, the results of Meroz's failure to respond. "Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the Lord, curse yet bitterly the inhabitants thereof." The curses of God are dreadful. "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." We have some recorded instances of God's curses. Sodom and Gomorrah. These were flourishing cities at one time. The center of population, wealth, culture, prosperity. After the curses came upon them they were no more. One of the most fertile plains on earth was changed into one of the most desolate and barren. The barren fig tree affords another instance. One day it was beautiful and flourishing, the next it was blighted and soon perished. Meroz disappeared from history. The place that once knew it knows no more. In all these cases God's curses meant total destruction. Thus the danger of Indifference is great. VALUE OF NEW IDEAS. Some large business firms employ a man whose sole duty it is to read every trade journal, every technical paper or pamphlet and every magazine in order to get new ideas about the conduct of their business. Such information is laid each day before the heads of the various departments, who in turn pass it down the line to men under them and see that the new idea is tested. By this means each worker is kept in touch with what other men are doing in his particular line, and so his personal efficiency is increased. Almost everything can be done in a manner a little better than the present way, and modern business demands to know and practice the best. Dlogenes carried around a cup to drink water out of till one day he saw a dog lapping water with his tongue. He threw away his cup and afterward drank water out of the palm of his hand. He got from the dog a new idea—Louisville Courier-Journal. SYMPATHY AND THE SERVANT PROBLEM. Sympathy has been tried in the ever difficult servant problem and in many households it has solved the burning question. Women ought to look at life and its duties from the servant's point of view, says Home Notes. The result is often that sympathy and kindness is engendered in this way by stopping to ask: "Should I like it?" "Is it just?" "Can it be reasonably expected?" And, if the mental reply as to whether sympathy will be appreciated is in the affirmative. It will gain its reward in the good will of those to whom it is shown. THE RETORT QUARRELSOME. One day a distinguished notary while breakfasting with a friend at a cafe in Paris indulged in some stinging comments on the public acts of Marshal Marmont. Suddenly another gentleman, dining at another table, arose and approached them, his musache bristling with anger, "Sir," cried he tragically, "you shall give me satisfaction!" "Are you Marshal Marmont?" quietly asked the notary. "I have not that honor," was the indignant reply, "but I am his chief aid-decamp." "Give me your card, then, sir," said the notary, "I will send you my head clerk."—Exchange. GOLD THAT BLACKENS. Blackening of cuffs and shirt fronts by the rubbed-off gold is a matter of much annoyance to jewelers when their customers come back, thinking they have bought brass. The skin on the neck as well as on the fingers is frequently discolored by 14-carat, 18-carat and, some say, pure gold. An expert says that even in the case of pure gold this coloration of the skin is not due to any particular properties of the metal, but, rather, is the result of chemical changes in the body or, rather, in the perspiration and natural oil of the skin.—Exchange. USE OF CANDLE SHADES. The candle shades of paper made with a black pasteboard frame work, suggestive of the mission style, are very effective when used on an electroller. For bedroom or desk use these inexpensive shades answer admirably in place of the more expensive ones which come designed specially for the incandescent bulb. Have you a frock of cashmere, cloth or silk that is too good to fall into disuse and too old to wear in the early spring of this year? To the clever and practical woman there comes a suggestion that is modish, nexpensive and easily carried out. It is black satin, a material that is decidedly in vogue. When selecting this new fabric for your old gown do not choose a shiny, stiff satin. The supple liberty weaves are the ones that will most satisfactorily carry out the idea. Satin can be used always as pipings or facings in later seasons. It is excellent for hat linings, also, when it has served its time on the outside of a frock. If you have a checked volle or cloth dress, the first sketch shows a charming metamorphosis that will result by adding black satin. A bolero of the new material is made. It extends for a short space over the sleeves in caps. The top is round and and drops over a yoke of lace. A sash of black satin defines the waist line, tying in a flat bow at one side and hanging in two ends to below the knees. A hem, about six or eight inches in width, edges the skirt. If the material be supple, the skirt can be gathered at the waist line; otherwise, a gored model is the better. A dark navy blue cloth is allied with black satin, as shown in the second model. A waist that needs a long shoulder line can be successfully given it by applying the band of black as shown. The pieces at the sides are placed over the shoulder seams and extend beyond the armholes. Wide bands are placed on the sleeves above the hem, and black braid is used to trim the bodice and skirt. A slightly raised line is shown at the waist. The circular skirt is trimmed with a broad satin band and a line of braid. The new collar is shown on the striped costume worn by the central figure. It is the sailor collar in its extreme exploitation, falling over the top of each sleeve and cut to form a straight band across the front. Cuffs and belt of satin are easily applied. The allover lace yoke is of the convenient type that can be removed. A deep hem of black finishes this chic little walking dress. Any striped material can be used to your advantage if the model be taken for your guilding star. Last year's foulard can be made up to date by using black satin and buttons. A circular yoke extends over the shoulders and is trimmed with white buttons and an Irish lace collar. The half length sleeves are edged with straight cuffs. There is again the hem of black that will lengthen an old skirt that has become, worn at the edges and is too short if allowed to be untrimmed. Plain serge is used in the last suggestion. The combination with black is simple and effective. It is a broad strap effect that is much used in serviceable frocks. Straight bands are placed over the shoulders, and a short connecting band crosses at the lower edge of the lace yoke. The blouse is full and gathered into a straight band of satin. Turned-back cuffs edge the three-quarter sleeves, that are made in the scanty kimono style. A band of black is inserted at the lower edge of the skirt. Black satin is the open sesame to a stylish remodeling of an old gown. Surely the convincing array before you will lead you to emulate a mode, that has taken Paris by storm, and well deserved is the popularity of the serviceable trimming. FASHION NOTES. Buttons will match the dress in color. Taffeta is much used for evening gowns. Waist lines are high and big—no wasp waists this year. Many of the new belt buckles imitate the buttoned effect. Etamine is extremely popular in every degree of weave. Plain leather belts are fashionable, especially in black and white. An effective material for summer dresses has a border done in bead effect. Striking is a white cotton marquisette bordered in a design of yellow wheat. Wide colored ribbon and narrow widths of silk are used in all sorts of sash effects. The charming narrow, detached train remains with us for at least another season. Wide bands of lace finished with a border of ribbon are much used to trim skirts or tunics. The sailor collar, which is very deep at the back and hardly exists at all in front, will be shown in our summer gowns. TO GET RID OF BEDBUGS. For mild infestations, a number of common remedies are quite effective. One of the best is a liberal use of gasoline. Pour it over the cracks in the mattress and about all the cracks and crevices of the bedstead. Do the work thoroughly and pour in sufficient to fill every crack. Wherever this fluid comes in contact with eggs or insects they will be killed. The gas is explosive, however, and must be used during the day and when there is no danger from fire in stoves, lamps, or cigar. Benzine will serve the same purpose. Kerosene will do equally well, but leaves an oily condition which is quite undesirable. Where the insects infest cracks of the floor and walls of the room it may be necessary to resort to methods of fumigation. Brimstone burned at the rate of a pound to a thousand feet of space hgs been used with success. The vessel containing the burning brimstone should be placed in a tub of water or pall of sand to prevent the escape of fire, and the room kept closed for 24 hours. Sometimes buildings are so badly infested that it is necessary to resort to fumigation by hydro-cyanic acid gas, but this should only be undertaken by experienced persons on account of the deadly nature of the substance used.—S. Arthur Johnson, Colorado Agricultural College. COOKING HINTS. If cooking dishes are so unfortunate as to be burnt, soap them in soapy water, adding a little washing soda or washing powder and let stand for half an hour. Then pour off the water and wash. Aluminum dishes should not be scraped with a knife, but soaked and then washed carefully and cleaned with fine scouring soap or whiting. Put custard cups, eggs or cheese dishes and chocolate pans to soak in cold water first. Greasy pans and kettles may be helped by wiping with paper before washing to remove all extra grease. Baking pans used only for bread and cake, or cooky sheets, are better not to be washed at all unless burnt, but wiped inside and out with a clean, dry cloth while still warm. Use the same treatment on bright tin covers. When all the dishes are dried and out of the way, wash and dry the pan, dish mops and drainer, then wash the sink with hot water, scouring soap and a brush, rinsing it with boiling water. Leave everything dry and in their respective places, with the satisfied feeling of a task well accomplished. ACTIVE WOMAN KEEPS YOUNG. The longest-lived men are those engaged in healthy outdoor occupations, such as farming, simply because they lead an active, muscular life in the open air. Bodily activity keeps at bay the diseases of sedentary middle life. Gout and rheumatism lie in wait for the many who do not walk five miles in the week, who hate games and believe that golf is "waste of time." It is the active, busy woman who keeps her complexion when she is past 40 years of age, and girls 20 years her junior grow sallow and anaemic for lack of outdoor exercise, says Woman's Life. You must live a sedentary life, you say? I don't believe it. Even if your day is spent in an office or a shop, you have the early morning for a "tub" and 20 minutes with dumbbells. You have your evenings, and you have your week-ends. FOR A NORTH ROOM. It is often difficult to know how to brighten a room facing north. I first, in one of our rooms that face that way, tried banishing curtains altogether, to let the light in, but soon found that it is not only light that is needed but sunshine; so I determined that even if I couldn't have a real thing, I would get the effect of it at any rate, says Home Chat. I had the room tinted a soft yellow shade, shading off to an almost creamy tint for the ceiling. Pretty, short, soft yellow curtains framed the window, but were not drawn over it in the least. I put a pretty brass flower pot with a fern in it in a dark corner and it quite transformed it. Brass firelrons, candlesticks and ornaments also helped to give the room a cheery appearance, and soon the dull room was dull no longer. COCKROACHES. A powder made by thoroughly mixing sweet chocolate and borax is said to be very effective against cockroaches. The powder is simply spread over the pantry shelves, the roaches are attracted by the sweet chocolate, but in eating it get the borax also, and soon die. An even more effective roach food is made by mixing 1 to 2 per cent of phosphorus with flour paste and spreading the resulting paste on soft bread. The bread is scattered near where the roaches are thickest, attracts them, and kills all that eat thereof. Another remedy is to burn pyrethrum powder in infested rooms. The vapor is fatal to cockroaches.—Wallace's Farmer. C. S. A. SEAL REMAINS HIDDEN At Fall of Richmond It Was Put Away by Jeff Davis' Faithful Servant. BENT WITH AGE, JAMES JONES VOWS THAT HE IS STILL TRUE TO TRUST. IDOL WITH SOUTHERNERS WHO PUT FAITHFUL NEGRO ON A GOOD SALARY AND GIVE HIM AN INDEFINITE LEAVE OF ABSENCE. Washington, D. C.—Senators and congressmen, as well as students of history, are puzzled over as well as interested in the story of the great seal of the south as told by James H. Jones, once bodyguard of Jeff Davis, president of the southern Confederacy, and now, though age bends him low, an idol of the southern element that is so loud a factor in the life of the national capital. Next to a "hurrah for the gray, down with the negro" orator, the south dearly loves a colored man who calls himself a "Confed." There are few persons in the United States today more interesting than James H. Jones, the negro who served through the Civil war as a bodyguard and personal servant to Jefferson Davis. Probably, also, there is no man who has adhered with greater tenacity to a promise than this aged man, who time after time has refused to disclose the secret of where he hid the great-Confederate seal, just before Richmond was evacuated, although museums, patriotic societies and public-spirited individuals have offered him small fortunes for his knowledge. Made to take a solemn oath by President Davis that he would hide the seal in some spot where it could not be found and never disclose its whereabouts, Jones has been true to his trust to today, and he declares that there is not enough money in this world to tempt him to break his trust. Jones, who is part Cherokee Indian, is a stanch Confederate, probably for no other reason than Jefferson Davis was the head of the cause. Regarded highly by his employer, honored by Mrs. Davis and treated as a friend by the children of President Davis, all of whom, with one exception, he has carried to their last resting place in the family plot in Richmond, the suggestion that he give or sell the secret brings tears of righteous indignation into the old man's eyes. Bent almost double with age and barely able to walk from one end of the room to the other, and well-nigh penniless, he, however, had his reward for his loyalty in the friendship of the most prominent southerners in the United States senate today. Through the influence of these friends he was appointed to the stationery room in the senate wing of the capitol, and although his health has prevented him from attending to his duties for over two years, he has been allowed indefinite sick leave on full salary. Jones was born a "free" man more than eighty-two years ago. His childhood was spent in the town of his birth, Raleigh, N. C., where he lived until the death of his father, James H. Jones. Then leaving his mother, who was almost a pure-blooded Cherokee Indian, he started in to earn his own living. While working in the old St. Charles hotel in New Orleans in 1859 Jefferson Davis took a liking to him and engaged him as personal servant and bodyguard. From the first day of his employment Mr. Davis imposed the utmost confidence in his valet, and though Jones had been called a trusty servant by many of his former employers, he never enjoyed quite so much confidence as that which Davis placed in him. It was this which brought about, he says, his great faithfulness to the Confederate leader. From the moment that the first gun of the Civil war was fired at Fort Sumter until he was released from Fort Monroe, where he had been imprisoned with his employer, Jones never left President Davis, except on the one occasion, shortly before the fall of Richmond, when Mr. Davis sent him with Mrs. Davis and the children, together with about $13,000,000, to Charlotte, N. C. After taking Mrs. Davis and the children there, he hauled the money around in a freight car, he says, from place to place through the south until he was relieved of his charge by Capt. Parker, near Washington, Ga. After he had been relieved of his charge in Washington, Ga., he returned with all haste to Richmond, where he helped President Davis prepare for the last flight. They fled from the fallen Confederate capital together, generally traveling by night. Mr. Davis and his servant encamped on the night of May 9, 1865, not far from Irwinsville, Ga. The next morning when breaking camp, Jones packed Davis' cane, which Davis was going to abandon, though he carried it all through the war. When they were captured in Irwinsville, May 10, Jones managed to keep the cane and carried it with him to Fort Monroe, where both were imprisoned. When he was released from the prison Jones took the cane to Mr. Davis. He continued to visit Mr. Davis until the latter's release from Fort Monroe, about two years later. Shortly before Mr. Davis' death Jones served him for some time at his last home, in Beauvoir, Miss., leaving his service later. When President Davis' body was carried in state from Beauvoir to Richmond, Jones drove the hearse through the principal cities en route at which places services were conducted in the dead leader's honor. He also drove the hearse in Hollywood cemetery funeral at Richmond. Shortly after the funeral Mrs. Davis presented him with the cane, which he had saved. The cane, with the handle bound with a thick silver band, bearing the inscription, "To James H. Jones, in recognition of his faithful service, from Mrs. Jefferson Davis," he still treasures. "If I could tell the hiding place of the greater Confederate seal," said Jones, "without violating the confidence reposed in me by Mr. Davis I would be very glad to see the seal of the Confederacy in some museum in Richmond or Raleigh, N. C. No money consideration, however, could for a moment influence me in this matter. I love the memory of Mr. Davis and his family too devotedly to think of any such transaction. I am not made out of that kind of material. I have in my veins a good streak of Indian blood, and, you know an Indian detests a lilar and a thief. I would be nothing less than both did I do otherwise than I am doing. It does not matter how many offers are made, or how large the amounts, James Jones will never entertain them." "Do you believe that you could recover the seal today?" he was asked. "I feel entirely satisfied that I can; but I never will. I never did deceive Mr. Davis, and now that he is dead I am sure I shall remain true to the implicit confidence he always placed in me, almost from the first day I entered his employ. "I am satisfied that no duplicate was ever made of this last great seal of the Confederacy," he continued, "but there are duplicates of the one used before the last one reached Richmond from England—the one which Mr. Davis intrusted to my care. I have been told that the first seal used in the Confederacy was engraved on a piece of boxwood in Montgomery. I think that is a matter of history. "The second seal, of which duplicates were made, was the one manufactured in either Baltimore or Washington. I assisted in unpacking the box in which it came to Richmond. There was a splendid flag in the box also. My recollection is that this was in 1862, in the early part of the year. This seal did not weigh more than one pound, and I know that while Mr. Davis and his cabinet were pleased with the workmanship, the seal did not, in some way, meet their expectations. "The following year, 1863, the big great seal came from England, the schooner Fanny bringing it to Wilmington, from where the seal was sent to Richmond. I again was one of the men who aided in unpacking the box. The seal was in a rosewood box, something after the style used in those days for duelling pistol cases. The box was trimmed and inlaid with pearl and ivory, and the seal was an immense silver affair, weighing fully 10 pounds. It was unlike the great seal made in Washington or Baltimore, but the inscription was the same—the wreath of corn, cotton, wheat and scrolls. Our officers had a wreath for their caps almost like it." "It was the general belief for many years that the last great seal of the Confederacy 'was captured by the northern army when it swooped down on Richmond, and that it was turned over as one of the trophies of the war to the war department' at Washington. Such was not the truth, and the fact is that the Yankees got powerful little of value in Richmond which belonged to the Confederate government. "When Mr. Davis realized that it was but a short time until Richmond must fall, he sent me with Mrs. Davis—God bless her memory—and the children to Charlotte, N. C. I had about $13,000,000 under my care, and hauled it around in a freight car from one point to another in the south, until Captain Parker, of Newberry, S. C., relieved me of it at a point near Washington, Ga., where it was buried. "And you will never entertain an offer to recover the seal which you bid?" he was asked finally. "Not as long as my name is James Jones and the good Lord gives me power to know right from wrong," he declared. "No, sir; not for any consideration could I be induced to change my determination about this matter." Everybody, however, doesn't believe the story told by Jones. The Sun suggests that the old man has forgotten, if he ever knew, what became of the great seal, and is ashamed to confess it. In the following letter printed in the Times of this city, W. McK. Darwood fatly contradicts Jones' story: In an article headed "Bailey Defends Secession," it was stated that a certain negro, James A. Jones, who served as Mr. Davis' body servant, was the only man living who 'knows where the seal of the Confederate states is, and won't tell. This is not warranted by facts. On the 2d of September, 1892, I visited Trinity Library, Cambridge, England, and was there shown 'the great seal of the southern Confederacy, presented by Judah B. Benjamin,' and I have no doubt it is there yet." They Have a Flavor All Their Own, "the Effect of Climate." BRANDS OF OTHER LANDS THE BEST OF THE FRENCH BULLS ARE ACTED, NOT SPOKEN—BOME DROLL EXAMPLES OF THE ITALIAN, PORTUQUESE, DUTCH AND GERMAN. Sir Richard Steele explained why his countrymen made bulls: "Tis the effect of the climate, sir. If an Englishman were born in Ireland he would make as many," sald he. It is not every one who knows a bull when he sees her. It may be no bull, but merely a blunder—a betise, as the French have it. To make sure that we have the true criterion let us first set down a few of the genuine, orthodox Irish kind: He built the wall wider than it was high, so that when it fell down it should be higher than it was wide. Two weary and footsore Irishmen come to a milestone, ten miles to Dublin. "Arrah," says one, "tis but five miles apiece." Disputing of the date of St. Patrick's birthday, "He couldn't have had two unless he was twins." An Irish sailor reported that in Philadelphia they copper buttomed the tops of the houses with sheet lead. Give me the loan of a hatchet to saw an empty barrel of flour in two to make the dog a pigpen. His estate is divided by impenetrable furze ditches made of quarried stones set on edge. An Irishman, describing a glorious fight, said: "There was only one whole nose in the house, and that was the taypot's." In these and in hundreds like them we have the true flavor of the Irish bull. There are genuine bulls in French, but they are rare. The genius of the language does not lend itself to anything less than neat precision. A French bull is usually nothing more than a betise. Still, French bulls exist. Leon, bishop and Count of Lisleux wrote to the Duchess of Brissac as follows: "Madame, knowing how fond you are of red partridges, I send you herewith half a dozen. Three of them are gray, and one is a woodcock. You will find this letter in the bottom of the basket." A Frenchman used a large stone jar for a pillow, explaining that it was not hard because he had stuffed it full of hay. The very best French bulls are acted, not spoken. The Duke de St. Simon relates that a lady, lying ill, was much disturbed by the ringing of the church bells. To deaden the noise her lover had the street in front of her house laid with straw. A spoken bull in French is apt to be something different from the Irish variety, something more like a betise, as has been said. And it is difficult to retain the flavor in translation. "Ce sont toujours les memes soldats qu'ils font tuer," says Marshal Bugeaud of his army. This loses a little when one translates, "It is always the same soldiers who get themselves killed." "En fait d'inutilites il ne faut que le necessaire" is more highly colored in the French than in its translation, "Only so many useless things are required as are strictly necessary." Here is the translation of part of an Italian letter: "We have had a most famous earthquake. If by the mercy of God it had lasted for another half hour we should all have gone to paradise, from which may God deliver us. Whether you receive this letter or not, please advise me in either case." Here is a Portuguese bull. In offering a reward for the recovery of the corpse of a drowned man his relatives remarked that the deceased might be identified, if found, by a slight impediment in his speech. After much research it has been so far impossible to discover a genuine Spanish bull, but here is a Dutch bull: "The pig had no marks on his ears except a short tail." And here is a German bull: "Der Zahn der Zelt, der alle Thranen trocknet, wird auch uber diese Sache Gras wachsen lassen" ("The tooth of time, that wipes away all tears, will permit grass to grow over this matter also"). Blunders in English speech are not uncommon. The orthodox hull of Ireland has scarcely crossed the channel. A fellow of the Royal society speaks of "the earthquake that had had the honor to be noticed by the Royal society." "The West Indies will now have a future which they have never had in the past" sounds promising until one sees that its bullish quality is a mere blunder by which the word "opportunity" was omitted. There is none of the flavor of the famous definition of salt by the Irish schoolboy, "Salt is that which makes your potatoes taste nasty if you don't put it in." Even the best of the foreign bulls in Latin tongues evoke the suspicion that they are mere translations from Irish originals. The Dutch, the Germans and perhaps the English may have the genuine article at times. No distinctively American bulls have emerged from the long research that is the foundation of these few paragraphs—New York Sun. Now for your name on our list under the 1911 Subscription Offer.

Washington to hold the next sesstoz in Tuskegee-Institute. The speaker at the closing, segifor was the Rey. Dr. H. M. Williams, of Galveston, Tex, who discussed “Out Assets and Liabilities.’ He’ sald tn * parts ped foo © ‘In bookkeeping there’ ard’ always two sides to the ledger—abdets and lla bilities. In order at any time to find out how your account is running each side must be added up and the differ- ence ascertained. The same principle holds good with races. atid indlyiduals. ‘There are certain assets <r" Stems to our credit and certain Mabilities or items that are against us. In discuss ing the labilitfes and assets against the negro race, I shall simply name the items on each side of the ledger and leave it to you, to time and eter- nity to add and subtract. “I shall begin with his abilities and ask you to consider them and see if as leaders and falthful followers we cannot assist greatly in cancelling them. The items of Mabllity are: first, bis poverty. A race of paupers can never wish to measure arms with “a race possessing great wealth. If the negro preacher and teachers of 25 years ago had had as much foresight in the matter of Instructing the peo- ple to economize, purchase homes, own land, establish business enter- prises, when the race was making money lke gathering manna from the ground, we would verily have been further up the bill in material pros- Tess than we are now. “Though late with forty years of ex- ceilent opportunity having ‘passed, {t is still not too late for tne race to Decome active in the removal of Its poverty-stricken condition from this side. “Secondly, indolence {s another Breat item against and weighs heay- -ily, eblefly affecting the young negro. ‘While it is a sad fact that the organ- ized Ipbor of the other race is greatly responsible for the {dleness of the host of young negroes who are industrious, law-abiding, and who have large fam- ilies to support, yet there are thou- sands of young negroes who are pro- fesstonal loafers; who should be load- ed upon wagons or floats and hauled from the joolroom, moving pleture shows, and street-corners and carried twenty miles fnto the country and dumped upon the turning rows of some farm and made to go to work. “Idleness 1s a curse pure and sim- ple. Our children should be taught that it 1s honorable to work with thelr hands; that fs my chlef reason for fa- voring Dr. Booker T. Washington's policy of Industrial education. “Extravagance is the next {tem to be named against us as a race. Liv- Sng above one’s means and mimicking the rich; excursions, balls and ban- quets consume thousands of dollars that could be far more profitably used. ‘There are some men {n our ranks as- suming to be Sconoclastic, who Instead of bombarding against this form of extravagance are constantly hammer- Ing at the negro's religious and lodge meetings, claiming that these annual meetings are they which consume our millions. But these critics fail to see that it is these meetings In which the race shapes its polfcles and out of which como great results, whether in dollars and cents or otherwise. Ex- travagance in dress and pleasure are the things to be discouraged. “Ignorance fs our next ability. While our progress intellectually has been phenomenal, It cannot be denied that the masses of the race are still untrained. Ignorance will never rule Intelligence. Intelligence will ever ride while ignorance will walk, Train- ‘ed service Is ever high, while drud+ gery 1s cheap. Intelligence {s useful everywhere. God pity the ignorant people, a sorry lawyer, doctor, of teacher. What can an {gnorant boy study but mischief? “Non-co-operation fs our next item, A very strong point with the white race fs their ability to organize .n_ the twinkling of an eye, for any laudable purpose. Lack of confidence In the members of hfs own race will for some burt us tn business. “We expect too much to be done for us by the other race, is another Ha- bility. Even our Lord and Master will not do for races or individuals that which they can do for ourselves. Why should we expect anofher race to do for us what we can do for ourselves? We must make openings ofr our own boys and girls. We must not expect the other race to fill positions of honor with our boys and girls while theirs stand idly by and walk the streets. Blood will ever be thicker than water. “The last, but not least, {s hatred. oe. 8 LS x © gE > « . we al ta oe a | /Ve bave a good record. ‘A record 'y worth much in all,the walks of life When the youthful David presented ‘himself before Saul as being willing to go out and do battle against the glant Goliath, he was asked what he had done that led him to belleve that he could combat such a formidable foe. David's only and immediate an- swer was ‘I have slain a lion and 2 bear’ Saul at once consented; Da- vid went, and you know the result, I argue that my race has a good record, not as anarchist or villains. Granting that there are some ugly charges made against us, yet as a race we do not plead guilty, for in evéry instance where these crimes are commitfed the "best class of negroes have condemned them in strong terms and gone so far dn thousands of instances as to assist In capturing the guilty ones. “Crime ia not out record, Our ree- ord 1s a patriotic record, This has been shown in all the wars where the ‘negro has been called upon to shed blood for his country from Hannibal, the mighty Carthagentan, down to the wallant Tenth Cavalry up San Juan ‘HIlL. = “Intellectually the race has proved itself at Harvard and. Yale, as well as at the thousand publle schools of the south capable ofa high degree of de- yelopment.. At West Point he has shpwn military skill and ability. And 18 the commercial world, I. T. Mont- gomery and Charles’Banks, of Missls- Sfppt, have ‘done much to demonstrate our ability here. “Our third asset Is the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ. If God be for us, who ean be against us? God is no respecter of persons, but in every race and nation they that fear and servé him are acceptable to him, Any race or individual that will love the Lord will de loved of bim, The negro Is truly a race of religion, It Is In his very nature to love his church. Ha, loves-religion even at the expense of money. His fdeas in many Instances may ‘ba crude, but as he understands It, hells a devotee to bis church and to his God. See him out of his pov- erty, Ike the widow casting {n her mite, sacrificing his last penny for bis ebureh. and as a result he thrives and prospers. “If the negro will but trust In God, be honest and industrious, the final result will be that his assets will be greater than hls liabilities.” OWNED BY COLORED PEOPLE. The colored people of Zanesville are to have and own a pottery, {ncor- porated a& the Betterware Pottery company, for which $45,000 has been subscribed. In a rocent issue the Ad- vorate says: : “The elty of Zanesville has a popu- Jation of 29,000; of this number 3,100 are colored people. It fs perhaps the greatest pottery center in the world. There are 27 potteries in the city and suburbs. All are working day and night, All started on a small scdle and today the American tile works Is the largest pottery in the world, with the Roseville Pottery company (with its four factories) and the Mosaic tile works close seconds, all located there. Twenty-five thousand people are sup- ‘ported annually by these: potteries. ‘They are all stock compantes and not a colored person owns a dollar's worth of stock in any of these 27 potteries, so far as can be determined.

CLEMENCY ASKED FOR NEGRO WOMAN Mattie Lenox Sentenced to Be Hanged in Washington May Be Saved, ©: PARDON BEING CIRCULATED PRESIDENT TAFT WILL BE ASKED TO COMMUTE THE SENTENCE TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT, Washington—“Shalt a woman hang In gWasbington?” 1s the question up permost In the minds of the colored People of this city this month. From the pressure that {s being brought to bear upon the president of the United States to prevent such a calamity, it ts Ukely that the questfon will be an- swered In the negative Last December Mrs. Mattle Lomax shot and killed her husband. She was tried, convicted of murder in the first degree, and sentenced by Judge Wright to be hanged July 31. Led by the- Washington Times, the people of both races are.protesting against the execution of the woman, on the ground that the hanging of a woman in the cultured and eglightened capital of a great nation would be a qdlsgrace, placing 4 premium on brutality and setting a poor example to the country in that “jiistice that fs tempered by mercy.” Influential women Ike Mrs. Ellen Spencer Siuseey, Mrs, John Hay, Mrs, Thomas P, Gore, wile of the Sen- ator from Oklahoma; Mys.

LEWIS’ APPOINTMENT CONFIRMED UNITED STATES SENATE EN- POBSES Fhe SIDENT TARTS Washlngton—The senate confirmed the nomination of William H. Lewis of Boston to be assistant attorney: general and a commission which en: titles him to draw the salary of the office will soon be issued. The noml- nation has been pending‘in the senate since early in April; but when it was brought up in the senate there was no opposition. No speeches were made and there was no roll call on the vote, tt being viva voce. Southern senators, euch as Bacon of Georgia, Johnston of Alabama and Overman of North Carolina, yielded their own convictions about the pro- priety of naming a colored man for the position of assistant attorney gen- eral. Senator Lodge had argued the matter with them, and with other Democratic senators urged that Lewis Was a representative colored mau, and as Cleveland, when president, had nominated colored men to more im; portant federal cffices at Washing- ton, Democratic senators could not with good grace fight the pending nomination. They gradually acceded to this view. Lewis has had no salary yet for the three months he has been serving on & recess appointment, but he will be paid for the full term of his service.

Sunday School Lesson for July 16: Golden Text—“Cease to do evil; Jearn to do well.” Isa. 1:16, 17: 2 Chron, 33:1-13. Commit vs. 12, 12 Time—697-541 B,C, Places—Joru salem and Babylon, z Exposition—1, Manasseb’s Sin, 1-10. ‘The character of Manasseh’s reign 1s summed up In one awful sentence, he “did that which wae evil in the sight of'the Lord.” Very Mtkely that which he did was not evil in the sight of his courtiers or in the alght of the world in general; but it was evil In the sight of the Lord, and this was "kept up through a long and bloody -reign. Manasseh began by doing “like unto the abomtaations of the heathen” (v. 2); he ended by doing “worse than the heathen.” When a professed fol- lower of the Lord begins by dolng as the world does he usually ends by do- ing ‘worse than the world, There was absolutely no excuse for Manasseh ot the people. The Word of God was very plain in telling them not to do as the heathen (Ley. 18:24-30; 20:22, 23; Deut. 12:30, 31; 18:9-14). And the Word of God today 1s very plain for Christians regarding doing as the world does (2 Cor. 6:14, 12). He sought with all his heart to undo the work of reform that Hezeklah his father had carried on. He went so far as to build altars to the false gods in the house of Jehovah Himself, He has many imitators today, many places that are called houses of God have In them altars to fashion and wealth and worldliness. He did the very things which were most sternly condemned In the law of Moses, .He adopted the hideous rite of causing his children to pass through the fire of the false god (cf. Lev. 18:21; 20:2; Deut. 13:31;: 18:10; 2K. 21:6; Ezek. 23:37,39). There are many professed Christians today who are sacrificing .thelr chil- dren to the false gods of wealth and fashion and pleasure. He practiced augury (¥v. 6, R. Y.) which was sternly condemned by tho Mosaic law (Lev. 19:26, R. V.; Deut. 18:10-14). These practices are closely akin to palmlstry, fortune telling, etc. He practiced sorcery and dealt-with them that had famillar spirits. What we call modern spiritualism Is simply a resurrection of these ancient heathern practices. This 13 most sternly condemned in the Mosaic law (Lev. 20:6; Deut. 10:14). It was this practice which brought de- struction upon King Saul (1 Ch. 10:13), “So Manasseh made Judah and the in- habitants of Israel to err,” no darker record than that can be written of any one, Ht fs bad enough to err oneself, but to become a seducer of others Is the climax of villainy. But no man really errs alone. If a man sins, he is quite sure to drag others into sin. The father who sins drags down his whole family. The Sunday school teacher who sins contaminates his whole flock. The sins that Manasseh introduced were the culmination of the evil that began in the days of Sol- omon, The tide was resisted at times under good kings like Asa, Jehosaphat and Hezekiah, but now it swept in like a flood and led to Judah’s complete overthrow (2 K. 21:10-15; 24:14). Even Manasseh's, repentance and Jo- stab’s godly relgn could not avert the ruin he wrought (2 K. 23:24:26). “And the Lord spake to Manassen.” Note in verse 10 the result of Judah's refrsing 10 heatken. If men will not hear, at last He will give them up to the judg- ment (2 Ch. 36:16, 17; Neb. 9:30). 2. Manasseh's Repentence, 10-13. Blessed be affliction; it brought even so hopeless a case as Manasseh to re- pentence. It has brought many an- other to repentance (Ps. 119:67, 71; Luke 15:16-18). This fs God's purpose a affliction (Job 33:1630). Our af fictions are a love token from Got (Heb, 12:6). Manasseb did precisely what God has told us to do in af- Hiction (Ps. 60:15), and God did pre- ‘Isely what he has promised to do— ‘deliver.” But Manasseh did not merely pray. His prayer, was accom- panied by that which must always ac- ompany the prayer of a sinner if {t is o be heard, self-humillation—ne ‘humbled himself greatly before the od of his father's (Luke 18:10-14; jas, 4:10; 1 Pet. 5:6, 6; 2 Ch. 32:26). jod’s treatment of Manasseh {s ote it the most encouraging things in the jIble, Manasseh was surely one of he wickedest men that ever lived on his earth, and he sifned against ight, and he persisted in sin against jod's gracious warning; but when fanasseh repented, God pardoned ven him. David {s another illustration f this boundless grace of God (Ps. 2:3-5), and Saul of Tarsus another 1 Tim. 1:15). If any mam ig logt it Is ecause he will not come~to Christ John 5:40). The result of Jehovah's ealing with Manasseh was that “Ma-| VERNON HAMED FOR \ IMPORTANT POST.

NEW PRESIDENT OF SELMA UNI- VERSITY RESIGNS KNOXVILLE CHURCH, DELIVERING AS HiS FAREWELL SERMON ADMONI- TION TO THE RACE TO STICK TOGETHER — KNOXVILLE PA- PER PRAISES HIS WORK. Knoxville, Tenn.—The Rev. Dr. M. W. Gilbert, who was recently elected to the presidency of Selma-university, has resigned the pastorate of tho Mt, Zion church of this city. Dr. Gilbert's congregation gave bie up with great reluctance. He preached his farewell sermon fp a large congregation, His subject os “The Race's Duty tn, Home Bullding, Fostering Race En- terprises, and the Necessity of Race Co-Operation.” The Knoxville News, in reviewing Dr. Gilbert's stiort stay here says: Very reluctantly the people of Knoxville give up Dr. Gilbert, who was elected unanfmously president of the Selma university by the trustees of that institution, Dr, Gijbert {s one of the country's strongest men, and we feel that this institution has been fortunate In selecting such a leader to be the oxecutive of this In- stitution. He has influence with some of the leaders of both races, and that will mean much for the school. His pat record has caused him to be known all over the country, which will cause patrons to attend the school from every section, In his leaving, Knoxville loses one that has been of great benefit toward the welfare and uplift of the city Jn all directions.

Corn smut differs in life-habits from any of the other common smuts, and methods of treatment are therefore different. The covered smuts attack the grain-plants in the seeding stage, although the smut-masses do not appear until head-out time. The loose smuts gain entrance to the kernel of grain at flowering time, and remain inside the kernel until the next spring, when the grain sprouts. The corn-smut, on the other hand, may attack the corn plant at any time, provided there is young and growing tissue. It is for this reason that it is difficult to combat. Everyone is familiar with the large smut-masses occurring on practically any above-ground part of the cornplant. These smut-masses are made up of countless millions of very minute reproductive bodies known as spores, each one of which may infect another corn plant. These spores may be on the ground, or remain on the corn stalks which are used for fodder, thus getting into the manurepile. The spores may germinate under favorable conditions; producing, by a process of budding, a great many other spores (sporidia). These sporidia may be produced in long chains; they are very light, and may be blown long distances by the wind. If they happen to be blown to a corn plant they may infect it, causing smut. The presence of manure is especially favorable to the development of these sporidia; therefore precautions should always be taken to prevent the smut from getting into the manure pile, especially since it may live there for seven or eight years. It is clear, then, that seed treatment would be- of slight If any value in attempting to prevent the appearance of corn smut. Whenever possible smut balls should be destroyed as soon as they appear. The smut-dust should never be allowed to get into the manure pile, either directly or by the use of smutted corn as fodder. Crop rotation, such as will remove danger of infection from spores on the previous year's corn-land, should be practiced—E. C. Stakman. WHY POTATOES RUN OUT. Commenting on this subject, a press bulletin issued by the Colorado Agricultural college says: "We find that potato tubers become deep-eyed, knotty, long and unproductive because of conditions that make the whole plant tend toward going to seed. Growers of grain or alfalfa seed, under irrigation, long since learned that the withholding of water (which to a plant is partial starvation) just prior to blossoming time would tend to a heavier set, which could later be filled by giving enough water. We find that similarly diseases, early drought or close and deep cultivation make the potato plant tend toward strengthening its main stems to become seed-bearing stalks. As the tubers are swelled stems, they partake of the stem tendency, and their shape is fixed thereby; while the strength used in preparing for seed reproduction makes the vegetative or tuber growth and the yield far less. The tubers found under these conditions have the impulse within them to bear blossoms and seed, and are not good for planting. Conversely, potato plants grown under good early conditions of food, moisture and health have in their tubers no impulse toward sexual reproduction; but given as good or better conditions another year, expand vegetatively and with yield and profit. VALUE OF THE SIRE We are, in most cases, compelled to rely upon the common cows of the country, and they are so miscellaneously bred without respect to hereditary qualities, that there is little certainty of any one individual animal transmitting any quality to her progeny. When we are compelled to rely upon this class of cows as foundation stock, the bull should be selected from some well-known dairy breed that possesses the best qualities and he should be a good individual. By following up the use of improved sires for three or four generations we may so improve the common cows that they will be high grades and as well adapted for all practical purposes as the best purebreds of the cross from which they originated. W. MILTON KELLY. HAVE COWS FRESHEN IN FALL. It is now generally conceded that cows fresh in the fall will give considerably more milk, some say 1,000 to 1,200 pounds more, in a year than those fresh in the spring. Moreover, fall or winter calves are more economically raised because when weaned from milk they go onto grass pasture. The expense of winter feeding of the cows is not necessarily much greater since the silo furnishes a cheap, succulent winter feed and cows that have come fresh in the fall tend to keep up the flow of milk longer when put on green pasture toward the latter half of their milking period than cows fresh in the spring and put on dry feed in the fall.—Raleigh (N. C.) Progressive Farmer. PLANTING FIVE-YEAR-OLD CORN. Our attention has recently been called to an instance where five-year-old seed corn was used this spring for planting, resulting in practically a perfect stand. This seed gave a germination test of 94 per cent, and as said before, under ordinary field conditions a satisfactory stand resulted from its use. It is not enough, however, to say that five-year-old corn was still vital for the reason that the most important phase of the subject has not yet been mentioned. We refer to the manner in which this corn was kept. Possibly most corn growers will know before they are told that the seed was never exposed to a freezing temperature. This was exactly the condition. It was picked five years ago and stored in a furnace-heated building where the temperature possibly never reached as low as 50 degrees. It may be difficult to make a practical application of the knowledge relating to the germinating quality of five-year-old seed, because few men would knowingly plant seed that was that old. It does show, however, that on a favorable year it might be entirely practicable to keep over a supply of seed corn that would be large enough to plant two years in succession so that in case conditions were unfavorable the second year there still would be enough seed to answer the purpose. Be it remembered, however, that the chief and most important factor is that the seed must be kept where freezing cannot take place. This means that it must be picked before the periods of frost in the fall, well dried out afterwards, and then stored where it cannot be affected by either moisture or cold—Iowa Homestead. SAVING HEN MANURE. One of the best methods of saving hen manure is to sprinkle the drop boards with ground phosphoric rock. This holds the nitrogen and makes a better balanced fertilizer. By mixing from fifty to sixty pounds of the ground rock with each barrel of hen manure it makes one of the best and most highly concentrated manures available for the garden, lawn and fruit orchard. In addition to its manurial value it possesses the additional advantage of being free from weed reeds. As a fertilizer for corn this mixture is unexcelled and I have obtained excellent results by using a small amount in the hill and covering it with dirt before planting the corn. For the corn crop I am sure that it pays to add the ground phosphoric rock to the manure. Some corn growers claim that it does not pay to fertilize the corn in the bill, but my own experience proves that it does pay and I find that this mixture hastens the maturity of the corn that I grow in my seed plot and means the difference between soft corn and a mature crop of seed that is hardened before frost. —W. M. Kelley. HOT WEATHER FOOD. Now that the hot weather is here, you should give more than usual attention to feeding poultry during the heated term. Common sense tells you that matured poultry should not have heating food during the summer months, and that corn, the most dangerous of this class of foods, should never be fed to adult fowls during this period of time. Many birds are killed annually by feeding corn, which produces fat, and is closely followed by apoplexy and death. There are plenty of other foods for the hens, and it seems ridiculous to tempt fate when you know better. A partial supply of cracked corn will not injure the growing stock, but fed sparingly it will do them good. But for the old birds—cut it out. PAIRING THE BEST. It must be evident to anyone who thinks that two very high-class birds being mated, their good properties must be in the blood of the progeny, even if they do not show outwardly. Therefore the breeder's task is to bring them out. This can best be done by pairing the best hen back to her father, the best young cock back to his mother, or pairing two of the young together. It is a hundred pounds to a penny that such mating will bring the desired success, and if followed will prove both profitable and pleasurable; whereas the constant introduction of fresh blood can end in nothing but disaster and disappointment—American Pigeon Keeper. THE DELICIOUS SWEET PEPPERS. Your garden ought to be well supplied with that most palatable vegetable, the Sweet Pepper. Many people imagine that all peppers are too hot to be eaten with comfort but this is a great mistake. The only hot portions are the seeds and they can be removed before the cooking. Green peppers are cooked in a variety of ways and there is no vegetable that produces more table enjoyment than these vegetables if a little study and care is given to their growth and preparation for the table A. AND M. COLLEGE STRONG AND HELPFUL ADDRESSES DELIVERED BY MEMBERS OF BOTH RACES—PROF, LEWIS B. MOORE PRINCIPAL SPEAKER ON COMMENCEMENT DAY. Greensboro, N. C.-The A. and M. college has just completed one of the most successful commencement weeks in its history. To this success not only students and teachers contributed, but also white and colored men of local and national prominence. As an illustration of the good feeling existing, between the two races it may be stated that the baccalaureate sermon was preached by Rev. E. K. McLarty, pastor of one of the prominent white M. E. churches, South, in the city of Greensboro, who urged upon the young colored students the importance of cultivating the ideal of righteousness. No less powerful was the Y. M. C. A, address the same evening by a colored Presbyterian minister of this city, Rev. Dr. J. G. Walker, who eloquently presented the Y. M. C. A. ideals of physical, intellectual and moral strength. Strong and helpful addresses were delivered by men interested in agriculture and mechanical arts. The spacious auditorium was crowded almost to its utmost capacity. At these times President James B. Dudley took occasion to speak of the prosperous session which was then being concluded, of the liberality of the state of North Carolina in making generous appropriations, of his hope that the students who had crowded to overfilling the accommodations at the disposal of the college, would show the results of their training in increased industrial efficiency, in a better negro citizenship and in a wider and ever increasing patrolism. At the anniversary exercises of the Agricultural Literary society, Welton Mosely delivered an oration on the "Corn Crop" and was followed by R. L. Busbee, who read a paper on "Profitable Dafrying." F. B. Williams unveiled the motto of the class of 1911, "Life Is What You Make It." The chief feature was the address of Prof. J. H. Garvin, superintendent of colored city schools, Winchester, Ky., a naturalist of some note who has done much for the furtherance of agriculture in his native state, Kentucky. His subject was "Agriculture, the Way of Success," and was admirably treated from the historical, economic, social and racial viewpoints. When the Mechanical Literary society held its anniversary exercises, L. P. Byarm, one of the candidates for graduation, read an interesting and instructive paper on the steam engine. He was followed by M. S. Sanders, also a candidate for graduation and foreman in charge of the broom-shop, who demonstrated on the platform how brooms were made at the A. and M. college on a commercial scale, not only sizing the corn, but carrying it through every stage of its manufacture, until he ended by handing a finished broom to one of the students, who promptly swept the floor with it to show it was genuine. This demonstration elicited loud applause from the audience. The speaker of the evening was Prof. L. B. Thompson, director of mechanics of the Georgia State Industrial college, Savannah, Ga., who presented the subject of industrial education from two viewpoints—the cultural and the vocational—showing how Intellectual development may proceed hand in hand with training in the manual arts. The work and influence of the college, was dramatically portrayed by a play, "Crusades and Crusaders," written and staged by Mrs. J. B. Dudley and performed by student actors before a crowded house. The talented and accomplished authoress made use of the ideals of self-sacrifice and devotion to a worthy cause, which the crusades inspired and the enthusiasm they generated to stimulate the modern crusaders of the A. and M. college to undertake the momentous task of an industrial and agricultural crusade to the colored people of the south. The play was well conceived and its execution left nothing to be desired. Commencement day was the climax of this series of gatherings. Long before the hour appointed the auditorium was crowded, with white and colored friends of the school. The invocation was made by Rev. R. W. Leak, P. E., Rateigh, N. C., after which J. W. Mask of Polkton, N. C., delivered an oration on "The Negro as a Skilled Mechanic." He was followed by S. W. R. Slade with an excellent oration on "Farming as an Opportunity for the Negro." President Dudley then introduced the orator of the day, Prof. Lewis B. Moore, Ph. D., dean of Teachers' college, Howard university, Washington, D. C., in graceful and complimentary terms. Dean Moore paid a glowing tribute to the work of President Dudley and the generosity of the state in providing such excellent facilities as were to be found in the A. and M. college. In a scholarly address, replete with practical wisdom and instinct with patriotism, he made a masterly summary of the serious problems confronting this nation—problems of immigration, temperance, divorce, sanitation, race. Each and every one of these could be solved by education. Under the direction of Prof. C. E. Stewart, director of music, the Choral club rendered several beautiful selections. Degrees of Bachelor of Agriculture were conferred on W. H. Bryant, R. L. Busbee, W. H. Mosly, S. W. R. Slade, F. B. Williams, and degrees of Bachelor of Science in Mechanics were conferred on L. P. Byarm, M. S. Sanders and J. W. Mask. Certificates for completion of the short course in agriculture were awarded to several students, and similar certificates were also awarded in the mechanical division. PROGRESS OF THE RACE IN VIRGINIA A few days ago I decided to make a business trip to Virginia. I went by way of the Cape Charles route to Norfolk, stopping for a half hour at Old Point Comfort. The loading and unloading of vessels are all done by Negroes, and I am told that they earn good wages and are very expert at handling freight, etc Arriving at Norfolk, I took the train to Suffolk, a half hour away, and was met at the station by W. H. Crocker, one of the leading business men of that town. I spoke to the Business League in the Baptist church. Suffolk's chief industries are peanuts and barrel making. In the peanut factory the employees are almost exclusively Negroes. Girls receive from $3.50 to $5. Women workers in barrel hooping receive from $8 to $12. The Negroes have a number of very attractive stores, such as gents-furnishings, shoes, dry goods and notions. They pay-taxes on about $400,000 worth of property. W. H. Crocker is the moving spirit in Negro development. I spent three days in Norfolk as the guest of Rev. and Mrs. Chas. S. Morris, and spoke in his church at his installation services. Rev. Morris is fast winning his way into the confidence of the people, and has connected himself with all of the agencies of helpfulness. A movement is on foot to segregate the Negroes. Rev. Morris, Lawyer Brown, Dr. Byrd. Chas. G. Carter and others are exerting themselves to defeat the movement. The Negroes of Norfolk earn much money. They get all of it from the white man and give 90 per cent. of it back to him in one way and another. Chas. G. Carter has a tailoring and gents' furnishing establishment that would fit in on Broadway. Norfolk can boast of a fine 40-room hotel, nicely furnished, with electric lights and real baths, in really clean bath tubs, and real bath towels, and a new cake of soap to each patron—something the average Negro hotel has yet to learn. The "Journal and Guide," with Mr. Young as editor and manager, has a large amount of job work. The "Century" has a good equipment also. There are three drug stores, 20 boot blacking parlors, 40 barber shops, a Y. W. C. A., a half dozen little grocery stores, 1 theater, 25 pantoriums, physicians, lawyers and dentists—Dr. Byrd leading. J. Finley Wilson, who is connected with the "Journal and Guide," is making good and is a strong factor in molding helpful sentiment. The Negroes pay taxes on over $1,000,000 worth of property and control largely the labor market. Plans are on foot to make this labor more efficient. Portsmouth is considered largely a part of Norfolk, and the Negroes are getting on nicely. The churches are doing a good work—some of them are preparing the people "to die." while others are doing the practical work of teaching them to live, get a bank account, get property, to support one another and keep well. I asked one old man how he felt and he replied: "Thank God, I don't feel so well." The business leagues in these communities are doing splendid work—Fred R. Moore. INNOCENT PRAISE. "Yes," said little? Elsie, "mamma says she is always glad to let me come to parties at your house." "It is very nice of your mamma to say that." "Cause she says you're so savin' that there's never any danger you'll give me anything that will be rich enough to hurt me."—Chicago Record-Herald. GLOBE TROTTERS PLUS. A number of tourists were recently looking down the crater of Vesuvius. An American gentleman said to his companion: "That looks a good deal like the infernal regions." An English lady, overhearing the remark, sald to another: "Good gracious, how these Americans do travel"—Lippincott's. SHE WAS MUSCULAR. "The Captain swam ashore," reported a country newspaper, describing a wreck, "as did also the stewardess. She was insured for $45,000, and carried 200 tons of pig iron!"—Tidbits. HE WAS INNOCENT. Johnny Williams had been "bad" again. "Ah, me, Johnny!" sighed his Sunday-school teacher; "I am afraid we shall never meet in heaven." "What have you been doin'?" asked Johnny with a grin.—Harper's Monthly. A WOMAN OF TASTE. "If madame will pardon me, this suit does not match her complexion as well as the other." "The suit is all right. I want it to match a bull pup."—Washington Herald. DIGNITY OF LABOR UPHELD DR.J.F. FITSCHEN ADDRESSES GRADUATING CLASS AT MARY POTTER SCHOOL Oxford, N. C.—"Duty and the Privilege of Service" was the subject of the address of Rev. J. F. Fitschen, Jr., of Ithaca, N. Y., at the recent graduating exercises of Mary Potter Memorial school, Dr. George C. Shaw principal. Rev. Mr. Fitschen is pastor of one of the leading Presbyterian churches in the Empire State. His presence and philosophical manner of reaching the problems which will confront any graduate first entering the world of affairs inspired his audience. He in part said: "Work is the divine appointment and service for others the highest honor. The world doesn't owe us a living, but we owe it the best service we can render and not because we have to, but because it is our voluntary choice to qualify for such service demanding training in any line—for example, be a good farmer or a skilled mechanic. And those who had special opportunity for such training ought to pass it on to others. "Promotion and honor come to those who are doing any present duty in the worthiest way as graduates of such an institution as this, and you will be marked men and women among your own people and your neighbors if your ideal and aim are to do your work, whatever it may be, in the best possible way and with an ambition to be of larger service, and you will know the truest success in life and your teacher and friends will never have occasion to be disappointed in you." The annual sermon was delivered by Dr. G. Dillard of Goldsboro, N. C. This institution's curriculum is such that it prepares a student for college and a life of usefulness. Its graduates are potent examples of well rounded students, and they are found in various professions and institutions of higher education, making a record reflecting credit upon this school in the Pledged section of North Carolina. A pertinent feature of the school is that no girl can graduate who cannot make her graduating dress. The literary department is equal to that of the best schools doing preparatory work, and every phase of training for the development of the student that is possible for the school to give is in evidence at this school. Its influence has helped white people residing in the community, and the principal is encouraged by them because it alms to make its student body a factor in the activities of life. Dr Shaw is a graduate of Lincoln university and of Auburn Theological school, which is considered to be one of the leading schools for theologs in the Presbyterian church. This training has given him such broadness that the school is being conducted so that it will not be prescribed by any fad, but for the purpose of training a person for the work which he or she is best fitted by nature to do. The commencement week was quite an event in this section. Visitors from various states were present. STARTLED THE BISHOP AN UNTIMELY ROYAL LETTER AND THE MESSAGE IT CONVEVED. One night at 3 o'clock the bishop of Orleans was roused by a royal courier who had in hot haste brought a dispatch from his majesty Louis XV. The bishop imagined that something terrible had happened. Tremblingly he opened the package and read: "Monsteur the Bishop of Orleans—My daughters wish for some preserved Orleans quinces. Pray send some. If you have none beg that you will——" In this part of the letter there was a drawing of a sedan chair, and underneath the chair the king's letter continued thus: "Send immediately into your episcopal town and get them, and, monsteur the bishop, may God have you in his holy keeping. Louis." Lower down on the page was this postscript: "The sedan chair does not mean anything. It was drawn by my daughter on this sheet of paper, which I happened to find near me." Greatly relieved, the bishop hurried a courter into Orleans, procured the preserves and sent them to his royal master.—Thomas E. Watson in "The Story of France." Scraps The regal-looking girl is called a "stiff" when she doesn't bend low enough to some haughty folks. Find out about a man from the friends who owe him nothing and to whom he owes nothing. The experienced young fellow does the tactful thing to wed an inexperienced girl, but inexperience wears off very quickly. The girl he called the flower before, he hardly cares to cultivate after. If Matrimony were blind, Cupid could have his eyesight restored. I've known of some dark eyes dream of pretty fair deer. WIT AND HUMOR TOPSY-TURVY HONESTY. Two piles of apples lay upon the ground. One contained a large-sized and rosy selection; the fruit of the other was green and small. "Large on the top, sir, and small at the bottom." Inquired the new assistant to his master as he prepared to fill a barrel. "Certainly not!" replied the farmer virtuously. "Honesty is the best policy, my boy, and one I've always held to. Put the little apples at the top and the large ones at the bottom." The assistant complied. "His master was evidently as green as his greenest fruit." "Is the barrel full, my lad?" asked the farmer. "Yes," answered the assistant. "Yes," answered the assistant. "Good!" said the farmer. "Now turn it upside down and label it!" Answers. TOO HEARTY THANKS. McClusky was the manager of a large warehouse in Glasgow, and he was aptensely disliked. One morning he announced that he had received a handsome offer from an English firm, and he had decided to give up his Glasgow job. His fellow-employees collected a purse of sovereigns and presented it to him as a thank offering. "Weel, weel," sald McClusky, as he took the purse, "this beats a'. I niver thocht ye liket me sae weel. But no that I see ye're a' sae sorry tae lose me, I think I'll nae gang away, but just stop whaur I am."—TitBits. NOT ALWAYS. "If a man can eat and sleep well he may consider himself lucky, no matter what his condition in life may be." "Is that so? I used to be turnkey in a jail, and some of the men we had locked up were the best eaters and sleepers I ever saw in my life." "OH, YE OF LITTLE FAITH!" Anxious Customer—Are you sure that you have that medicine mixed right? Druggist—No, I am not, but I’ve got it mixed the way the doctor ordered it—Judge’s Library. OF COURSE NOT. Mrs. Powers—I will never forget the things you said to me before we were married." Mr. Powers—Bet a hundred you won't! Had I known that you had such a good memory I wouldn't have married you." Crimsonbeak—I gave my wife a rainbow kiss when I left the house this morning. Yeast—What in the world is a rainbow kiss? "One that follows a storm."—Yonkers Statesman. DIALECT OF THE FUTURE. "Does you little boy study spelling and grammar?" "No," replied the cautious parent, "I don't permit him to do so. In another generation, when all these language made easy methods prevail, I don't want him to be laughed at." AN UNKIND COMMENT. "Travelling in all kinds of cut-of-the-way places gives a fellow nerve. I remember one time I was with a party out in a wild part of the country, and we actually sat down to rest and swap stories on the verge of a yawning chasm." "Humph! If you were telling the stories, I don't wonder the chasm was yawning." AN EASIER DESTINY. "I never feel sorry for a defeated candidate," said Farmer Corntossel. "You think he usually deserves what he gets?" "No. But I think a man's lucky to get off with fault-findin' and abuse durin' a campaign instid o' havin' to stand 'em through a whole term of office." LONG EXPERIENCE. "I am quite surprised, Mr. Meeker, at your wife's knowledge of parliamentary law." "She? Great Caesar! Hasn't she been speaker of the house for the last 15 years?"—Tit-Bits. A LITERAL ONE. "Brother, in all these plans you are forming for your own business gain, have you included any uplift for your fellow-creatures?" "Sure, I have. I'm going to put in a new elevator." A GRAFTY APPROACH. "That fellow 'i an artist at making a touch." "How so?" "He'll come to you ostensibly for advice and wind up by striking you for a few dollars." SEEEEEEEEEEEEE i oS +. AMONG THE MASONS, It should be the pride of every of+ “ficer’ of subordinate lodges to sce that *by Masonic methods the lodge mem- “bership be increased with the right Kind of timber. The officers should see that the principles of the order be taught and that there be an Im- provement along all Ines for good, One of the great lessons for us to Jearn is that of obeying the laws, matters not how simple, and espec- fally to render all required reports on time. Especially should the Wor- shipful Masters and Secretaries incub cate the latter. The standing of many lodges has been questioned mainly on account of the delay of these officers in rendering reports to the grand of- ficers on time. é St. John's Day was .well observed by the lodges. T. A. Milledge lodge _heJd interest- {ng services in commemoration of the day. This took place at Dalton Grove Baptist church. Reverends Scott and Roberts and others took part in the service. A neat sum-was raised by Sisters Reddick and Carter. Worship- ful Master Reddick and his officers are working hard to bultd up this lodge. 3 ’ Euclid Lodge at Folkston had a time that will long be remembered. Visitors from all of the nearby plaezs were: present. The opening address was made by Worshiptul Master T. L, Jones. A response was made by Worshiptul Master M, Merchant of King’s Ferry. Pasi Master Knight also made an address. A paper was read by Sister J. H, Best, A sweet song was sung by Miss Pennie Speights. A timely address was made sby Sister Bryant of Callahan. The closing address was made by Rev. ©. it is with regret that we chronicle the death of Brother Washington Mg¢- Lew, late of Hazelhurst, Ga. Brother MeDew was among the old Masons of the state, and was much beloved, He was born December 8, 1849, and dhed June 19, 1911, He was a model citizen. He was one of the founders of St Matthew's A, M. E. Church. and served alternately ‘ as trustee, | steward and leader until bis death. He was one of the founders of Gib- eon Lodge No. 30, and was its trusted treasurer at the time of his death. Brother McDew was determined in his manner, which accounts for his great success in life, A wife and eleven children survive him. He was esti: mated to’ be worth at least $40,000.

The other day a Mason died. It was his last request that he be buried by his brethren. After his demise the widow was called upon by another society to which he belonged and Informed that a certain sum in sick benefits would be paid her, also a stipulated sum for funeral expenses. The widow then sent for the master of the lodge and asked him, “How much are the Mesons going to pay me?” When in- formed nothing,.unless she was am object of charity, she notified them that their services would nct be re- quired and gave the burial arrange- ments into fhe hands of the society which had promised the benefits, Ma- sonry Is based upon true charity.

If ships’ bottoms were covered with glass, it is asserted, greater speed and a saving in coal consump- tion would be attained. The idea bes been tried, but hitherto it has al- ways been found impracticable to at- tach glass to the steel plates of a ship, as the expansion of the steel broke the glass after a very slight tise in temperature. After many experiments a compo- sition of rosin and linseed oil was adopted as the adhesive material and the difficulty of the expansion of the ‘steel was overcome by the introduc- tion of a thin layer of wood pulp un- der the glass. A patent haa just been taken out-in England covering the process. The patentee says that the cost of placing the glass plates on the sea-covered bottom will not ex- zeed that of two coats of paint. SCOTCH SASBATARIANISM. Looking out of the window used to be an indictable offense on the Sab- bath. In 1709 the Kirk Session of Edinburgh, “taking into considera- tion that the Lord’s Day is profaned by people standing in the strects, vaguing in the fields and gardens, as also by idly gazing out of the win- dows, it is ordered that each session take its tura to watch the strects on ‘Sabbath, and' to visit cach saspected house in each. parish by elders and deacons with beadlé and officers, and after sermon, when the day is long, ‘to pass through the streets, and to re- prove such as transgress and inform on such as do not refrain.” WHEN THE CRANE BROKE. An astounding accident occurred at Buckie, Banffshire, Scotland, a few days ago, A thirty ton steam crane, which had been used at the harbor extension works, was swing- ing a fifteen-ton block of concrete into position, when it collapsed ow- ing to the pivot pinion wheel break- ing. The jib was smashed, and the crane disappeared into the sea, en- gine and all, The engine driver saved himself by jumping, and the div- ers’ boat, with its crew of eight, floating alongside, had a narrow es- cepe, both from the falling mass and from swamping by the wave sent up. “Much of the judicial power has been shifted to the executive branch of the government, and the question now is not what will the courts of New York and Chicago and_other places say, but what will Washington say?

JUDGE SEES DANGER. HIS ONE IDEA, FIGHTING FOR WIFE AT 90 Aged Turkoman,’ Taken Prisoner by Kurds, Was Brained by Woman He Had Captured: Describing a feature of a fight be- tween Turkomans and Kurds in Per- sia, a traveler says: “The Turko- mans, who always fight on foot, were ultimately defeated with heavy loss, and many prisoners were taken and still more captives were released. Among the Turkoman prisoners was an old man of ninety, who said that he had joined the expedition in order to eccure a’ new wife! The: damsel in question came up during the in- terrogatory and brained her captor ‘with a stone! During these raids. past and present, the Turkoman ap- peared to have enjoyed a great and ‘permannent advantage, in that nei- ‘ther Kurd nor Persian ever carried off their women, owing to their ugli- ness. The Turkoman, on the other hand, preferred Persian to their own women, and thus had a keen incen- tive, apart from the purely commer- cial aspect, to engage in these forays, in which no mercy was ever shown to the aged or weary.” HER HINT = rs Sa Ne Rae AC oy a4 3 AG Gs ss Wd fps A : bi pr SW VEZ Jack—Ah! may I kiss-your hand Jess—A young man should hay higher ambition! THE TEA DRINKERS. The chronic tea drinkers of this country are generally the kitchen girls and women who remain in the kitchen and in the house a great deal. The teapot is constantly on the stove and the strong stale brew full of tannic acid and bitter extrac- tives is poured into the stomach at frequent intervals. Here we get not only the stimulation of the caf- fein, but the irritation of the tannin derivatives on the stomach mucous membrane. The sooner or later re- sult is sleeplessness, and irritable fretty disposition, nervous dyspepsia, or even gastritis, and constipation. Of course, the treatment is to stop ‘the cause, treat the insomnia, dys- pepsia and constipation, and give ‘fresh air. Tea tasters show earlier than other individuals decay of the teeth. Children up to 15 years should not drink coffee or tea regu- larly.—Journal of the American Medical Association. 7 HOW TO THINK YOUNG. You can help to keep off sagging checks if you will only “think young.” Never allow the cheek mus- cles to droop for a single instant Pleasant thoughts help the muscles as well as the mind. At night mas- sage the relaxed muscles back into place with a good ointment. Sleep on your back without a pillow at night, and if this does not do, tie up the chin in a chin belt. It will hold up the relaxed muscles until your checks return to a firmer con- tour. You can get one by sending to any good beauty shop.—WWoman’s World. .
