VOL. XXVI. WANTS DR. HARVEY W. WILEY OUSTED WANTS DR. HARVEY W. WILEY OUSTED Wickersham Recommends Pure- Food Man's Resingation. Will Not Act Until He Has Heard the Other Side--Like Bal- % Iinger-Pinchot Con- Washington. — Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the famous chief of the Bureau of Chemistry, who has been battling against tremendous odds for the fearless and impartial enforcement of the Pure Food law, is again under fire. His resignation has been recommended to the President on the basis of a report formulated by inveterate enemies within the Department of Agriculture, who charge him with evasion of the law and irregularity. Attorney-General Wickersham has indorsed the recommendation for the resignation of Dr. Wiley, the dismissal of Dr. Rusby, and the reduction of Dr. Lyman F. Kebler, chief of the Division of Drugs. In advising President Taft to oust Dr. Wiley, Mr. Wickersham holds that "condign punishment" should be mated out to Dr. Wiley for the salary arrangement under which Dr. Rusby was employed. It is charged against Dr. Wiley that he permitted an arrangement to be made with Dr. H. H. Rusby, a recognized pharmacognosist of Columbia University, New York, for compensation in excess of that allowed by law. It is asserted that the arrangement was to put Dr. Rusby on the payroll of the department at $1,600 a year as an employee of the Bureau of Chemistry, an agreement being made with him that he should be called upon to perform only such service as this salary would compensate for at the rate of $20 a day for laboratory investigations and $50 a day for attendance in court. Attorney - General Wickersham held that the law permitted the payment of only $9 a day, this sum later being increased to $11 a day. The record in the case was before President Taft for action, but he recognized the incompleteness of the case and the papers are now all before Dr. Wiley, who is preparing his defense against the charges which were filed against him by an assistant who was running the Bureau of Chemistry during the famous chemist's absence. These charges and insinuations of irregularity and evasion of the law were never submitted to Dr. Wiley. He was merely called before the Committee on Personnel in the Department of Agriculture, asked about the fixing of the salary of Dr. Rusby without any intimation that "a case" was being made against him, and on this record furnished Attorney-General Wickersham with the excuse to recommend the official decapitation of Dr. Wiley. "Worse than the inquisition or anything in the third degree," is how the friends of Dr. Wiley, familiar with every stage of the fight against him, within and outside the department, characterize this attempt to "get his scalp." NEW YORK FOR INCOME TAX Ratification, However, is Out of Question This Year. Albany, N. Y.-New York state went on record in favor of a federal income tax, when the Assembly, by a vote of 91 to 42, passed the resolution ratifying the proposed amendment to the federal Constitution authorizing such a tax. The measure passed the Senate on April 19. New York swings into the list of states that have ratified the proposed federal income tax and brings the total up to 31. Tabulation shows the necessary 35, or three-fourths' vote of the states, is out of the question this year. Fifteen states have either defeated the amendment in one or both Houses, have adjourned without taking action, or having indorsed the measure in one branch, have gone into adjournment with the other branch unrecorded. Mother Accuses Son. Charlotte, Mich. — William B. Lonsberry, a well-known Eaton county farmer, has been placed under arrest pending investigation of a remarkable story told by his aged mother, who declared that she saw her son choke his wife to death six years ago and place the body in an old well. The mother said that the couple had quarreled over property matters. The Savannah WIGWAGS FROM THE PEEPHOLE BASE BALL TO·DAY THREE BALLS AND TWO STRIKES "DRY" NATION JULY 4, 1920 Christian Endeavors Enlist Entire Membership In Fight Against Saloon. By Champ Clark. The Christian Endeavorors are doing a good work, as an institution halfway between the Sunday School and the Church. It is an organized body which is the best way of getting results. This is the first time I have ever attended one of their national conventions and it impressed me as a most enthusiastic rally. By Dr. Floyd Tomkins. The convention has been a blessing to all who attended. First, By bringing them nearer together as Christians. Second, By making them more eager to work. Third, By impressing them with the reality and power of Christianity. The results will be carried to many cities and homes and churches. A growth will result in all good things. --- Atlantic City. — "A Saloonless Nation" by the Fourth of July, 1920, the 300th year from the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, is to be the slogan of the Christian Endeavors of the world, and of all sects and all organizations interested in the United States, according to a remarkable resolution unanimously adopted by the Christian Endeavor Convention on the Million Dollar Pier. This resolution, sweeping and stringent as it is, however, is only one of a number of unanimously adopted resolutions, which express the whole spirit and trend of Christian Endeavor. The comprehensive liquor resolution declares that Christian Endeavor is an uncompromising foe of saloon endeavor and insists upon the abolition of the liquor traffic, in every one of its phases, local, State, National and international. As a grand climax to the nine years country-wide liquor campaign, it is proposed to work for the amendment of the Constitution of the United States, to the end, that results of the campaign-may be made irrevocable. Liquor is branded as "America's Greatest Curse," and an appeal is issued for a united, but bloodless, because legal, and moral revolution, for a new declaration of independence. 3,000 STRAY DOGS KILLED Work of Gentlemen' Dog Catchers of Boston. Boston.—Three thousand stray dogs have been killed during the past 12 months by Boston's official dog-catchers. The official dog-catchers are Huntingdon Smith, Julian Codman and Dr. Frank J. Sullivan, all wealthy citizens. They are officers of the Animal Rescue League and volunteered their services. The dogs have been picked up by the league employees. 10 Barrela of Files Caught Worcester, Mass.—More than 10 barrels of files were gathered by 232 contestants in an anti-fly crusade, which began on June.22. The winner, who gets a prize of $100, turned in 95 quarts, or a total of 1,219,000 files, captured in traps of his own construction, and claims the world's championship. He is Earl C. Bousquet, 12 years old. SAVANNAH, GA; SATURDAY; JULY 22, 1911. HUNDREDS DEAD IN FOREST FIRES Entrapped Miners, Cut Off From Escape. MILLIONS IN PROPERTY LOST. Several Towns and Two Villages Destroyed---Refugees Drown In Trying to Escape Flames. Toronto.—The loss of life in Porcupine district from Thursday's fires is known to be several hundred, and the property loss will reach several millions of dollars. Only three of the 84 employes of the West Dome Mine have been accounted for and 200 miners, muckers, etc., in the Dome mine have been suffaced. The mines burned include the Dome, North Dome, Presfon, East Dome, Vipond, Foley O'Brien, Philadelphia, United Porcupine, Eldorado, Porcupine, Standard Imperial, West Dome and Success. Among the dead are Robert Weiss, manager of the West Dome, and his wife and child. The Philadelphia Mine's loss is about $50,000, United Porcupine loss $20,000; Eldorado Porcupine all buildings destroyed; Standard, about $40,000; Imperial, about $35,000; Success, probably destroyed; West Mines about $75,000. All reports give but a vague idea of the loss of life as well as property in Porcupine Camp, which probably will total millions of dollars and hundreds of lives. Two Towns Destroyed. In four short hours, commencing at 12.30 noon, the fire swept from the Standard Mines through the shores of Porcupine Lake, where it ate up the towns of South Porcupine, Pottsville and part of Golden City, as well as many small buildings along the lake front. While some loss of life occurred in the vicinity of Porcupine Lake, the greatest havoc was wrought around the main mines, notably West Dome and Big Dome. There the entrapped miners, cut off from escape, were forced to take to the shafts for safety and, penned in by flames, perished. This was notably true at Dome and West Dome mines. At Preston East Dome an untimbered shaft gave shelter and none perished. The streets of South Porcupine were strewn with dead persons, horses, dogs and cattle. Along the mine roads are the charred bodies of those overcome trying to escape. To Bear Peace Mozzage. Washington.—When the Duke of Connaught, the popular soldier brother of Edward VII, crosses the Atlantic to be governor general of Canada he will visit the United States. It is believed that he will bear a congratulatory message from King George to President Taft on the initiation of the peace movement. The Duke is expected in October. The actual date depends upon the passage of the Canadian Reciprocity Bill, the presence of the President and the speed with which the arrangements can be made. Hid Month In Stable. New York.-Hiding for nearly a month in a hay loft, her only food being horse fodder, Yera Trevor, a heat-crazed Austrain girl, was discovered by the police nearly dead from starvation FAST TRAIN LEAPS Federal Express Goes Down Embankment--12 Killed and 50 Injured. Bridgeport, Conn. — The Federal Express, the crack train of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad between Washington and Boston, flashed into West Bridgeport about 3.30 o'clock Tuesday morning, more than an hour behind time. Curtis, the engineer, was driving the big 10-wheel locomotive for all there was in her, trying to catch up to schedule. He sent the heavy train over a cross-over switch that connects the two east bound tracks a mile and a half west of the Bridgeport station at 60 miles an hour. The tracks enter and leave the city on a stone viaduct. Half a minute later cars were lying smashed and twisted in the Fairfield avenue cut, having been flung from a 20-foot viaduct into the street below. Curtis and Ryan, his fireman, together with at least 10 of the passengers, were dead and 50 passengers were hurt, a dozen very seriously. The only explanation offered by the railroad officials was that the high speed was the cause of perhaps the most frightful accident in the history of that line. It was impossible for them to tell whether the switch gave way under the terrific strain or whether the fast running weakened and loosened an axle or hursted a wheel. But they placed the responsibility on the dead engineer for driving a train at 60 miles an hour at a point where the regulations call for a 15-mile rate. No cross-over switch ever built was meant to stand against such a strain. Sleepers Fill Pullmans There were, perhaps, 200 persons on the train, very many of them women and children, who were going North for vacation. The third car behind the locomotive—the day coach—was crowded with passengers, who had not cared to pay extra for Pullman accommodations and whb. were napping in their clothes. All the Pullmans were crowded. Only two people saw the Federal's yellow headlight flash from the west and then leap in the air and whirl onto the stone vladuct as the train plunged from the switch. One of them was Clarence Hemingway, the tower operator. The other was Mrs. James C. Horan, a stout lady, who had been greatly annoyed by mosquitoes and could not sleep during the night. But it was all over so swiftly that neither Mrs. Horan nor Hemingway was able to characterize their impressions. They remembered seeing the whole train swerve, rear blackly against the grayish light and fall into the cut with a roar that almost deafened them. BRYAN NAMES AVAILABLES Without Expressing a Preference or Anyone. Lincoln, Neb.-William J. Bryan has made up his list of availables for the Democratic Presidential and Vice-Presidential nominess. Without expressing a preference for anyone, Folk, of Missouri; Wilson, of New Jersey, and Speaker Champ Clark are indicated probabilities with an extended list of possibilities. The list is remarkable in that the name of Governor Harmon, of Ohio, nowhere appears. Mr. Bryan says that no one questions the availability of Folk, Wilson or Clark, but that aside from these there are many availables. CASTRO THE MYSTERIOUS Venezuelan Plotter Seems to Have Again Disappeared. Washington—The Castro mystery has deepened. Apparently the earth has opened and again swallowed up the world's most "undesirable citizen." American Minister Garrett cabled from Caracas that he could get no confirmation of Castro's supposed return, to his native land and that the Venezuelan government itself had been unable to find anyone who had seen Castro or had heard of his being near Columbia or Venezuela within the past year. $165,700 for a Duchess' Jewels. London.—The jewels of the late Lily Price, the Duchess of Marlborough, were auctioned at Christie's and brought a total of $165,700 within 15 minutes after they were put up. Among the pieces and prices paid were a pearl necklace of 46 pearls, $80,500; a pearl brilliant necklace, $35,000, and a pearl brilliant tiara, $37,500. New Engine Killa Three. Barnsley, Eng.—Three men were killed and several others badly scarred when a new engine exploded at the Grimthorpe Colliery while being tested. Tribune WHEN ANNE BOLEYN DRIVES Famous Apparition, 'Without Heads on the Anniversary of the English Queen's Execution. "Headless coaches" are fairly numerous. The most famous is the one that drives once a year, on the anniversary of Anne Boleyn's execution, up the avenue at Blickling, her Norfolk home, says the London Chronicle. The coachman and the four horses have not a head between them and Anne's own is not upon her shoulders, but she holds it in her lap as she sits in the coach all in white. At the hall door the whole apparition vanishes. Anne's father, Sir Thomas, also rides in a coach drawn by headless horses once a year and his ride is much more exciting than his daughter's. He has to cross forty county bridges during the night and a company of yelling demons pursue the coach to keep the horses going. But how do the horses hear the noise if they have no ears? HERE'S A FREE TRANSLATION How a Familiar English Hymn Was Turned Into the South African Vernacular. The difficulties of true translation are enormous, says a European letter to the New York Sun. This fact has been recently discovered again by some South American missionaries who have had some favorite English hymns translated into the vernacular for the benefit of their native converts. Months after they had been exhorting their congregations to join heartily in the singing they found out that their translator had been particularly free. One of the finest examples of this was his version of the well-known hymn-which opens with the line, "Lord dismiss us with thy blessing." This was rendered, "Lord, kick us out, softly, softly." FLYER'S FIRST LESSON. The aviator's first lesson is to learn to steer his airship in a perfectly straight line for a distance of a mile or over. This looks very easy until you discover that an ordinary aeroplane possesses the perversity common to all inanimate objects. It always wants to go the other way, instead of the straight way that you seek to direct. Your first dash across the field and back takes two minutes, if no mishap occurs. After two dashes of this description a discreet teacher will dismiss you for the day. You have had all that your nerves ought to be asked to stand. In the best schools of France—a land famous for its aviators—no pupil, however apt, is permitted to have a longer daily lesson than five minutes at the outset of his course; and Monsieur Houpert, who is a graduate of a leading French school of aviation, follows this plan.—Harriet Quimby, in Leslie's. NO KEY. FOR TIMMINS. "The other night," remarked Mr. Timmins, deferentially, after he had waited two hours for an opening, "Brown was going home when he was shot at by a footpad." "Well," said Mrs. Timmins, sternly, "would you expect him to be shot by a policeman or a clergyman?" "No, my dear," said Mr. Timmins, "but he'd have been killed if the bullet hadn't struck a latch key in his vest pocket." "Indeed," said Mrs. Timmins. "I happen to know that he is insured for £1,000, and if he hadn't had that key his wife would be a rich woman today. If you're hinting for a latch key, Timmins, you'll have to give me a better reason than that. Now, I'm going to bed, so if you want to read you'll have to sit by the kitchen fire; but don't you dare to light the gas!" Then, with a sigh, he resumed the article he had been reading. "How to Manage a Wife."-Tit Bits. First Undertaker—How is business in your city? Second. Undertaker—Well, the death rate isn't near up to where it ought to be. HIS MOUNTAINS, HIS WYOMING Story of a Little Boy and a Color Print at the Public Library. He sat in the children's room of the public library yesterday poring over a huge book of Indian stories. He was twelve years old—the age an observer fancied, when stories of blood and escape have the greatest appeal. But in the case of this particular boy the observer soon found that he was wrong, for in twenty minutes the boy had not turned a page. He sat staring down upon that one page—gloating over it, caressing it with his eyes. The observer stepped closer—the boy was studying a color plate, the frontispiece of the book. The picture showed a barren plain. In the distance was the dim outline of snow-covered mountains. The picture was real—it seemed to breathe of sage brush and alkali. The boy looked up. "Ain't it great?" he said. "The mountains is lots farther away than they look." He looked down at the plate again, and then said without raising his eyes: "I was born on a place like that, out in Wyoming. The folks an' me come away las' year. When I get to be a man," he finished with a sudden determination in his voice, "I'm goin' back there—and have a ranch." 0.8 President (of new women's club)' —Now that we're organized the first thing we must do is to— All—Be photographed. WREN GUARDS HIS HOME In Central America there is a wise little bird not any bigger than a canary, that makes a great effort to protect its nest from thieves, says the Century Path. It builds in a tree which has branches very close together and sets the nest on a firm place made by fastening the branches together with sticks and strings. Then it builds a covered entrance to the nest along this woven pavement and all along this, as well as on the nest, it places thorns, so that it is just as if the place were guarded by tiny barbed wire fences. There is even a door to the nest, which is closed when the baby birds are left alone, and more thorns are put up at that time as if to make certain that no one shall be able to steal the birdlings. THE ENGLISH GOVERNESS. There is and always has been in England a deep-rooted objection to sending girls to boarding school, hence the need of a highly trained and accomplished governess, says a writer in the Century Magazine. The supply is very good and large and the governess in an English family, whether she be foreign or English, is usually remarkable in attainments and character. In spite of contrary assertions, English mothers are most anxious and careful as to the person who must see more of their children than anyone else. AMONG STRANGERS. "It's a sad thing to be friendless and a stranger," said Mr. Chuggins. "Didn't think you were sentimental." "I'm not. But when you strike a garage where they don't know you they make you pay twice as much for gasoline." God, Man's Dwelling Place A Sermon Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations—Psaalm xc. 1. Home is the strongest instinct in man's nature. The psalmist has here brought God to our thought under the similitude of home. The text, viewed in this light, contains the loftiest sentiment and the purest thought that has ever blest the spirit of man. God created us for himself and so long as we are away from him there can be no rest in our spirit; neither will God be reconciled until he wins us back to peace in him. The melancholy fact of history is our home-breaking with God. Adam was the prodigal who led his race away from God. But the old longing for home is still alive in the human heart, and home remains our dearest, finest word. Gor is at the genesis of our love of dwelling place. It is citizenship in him that men seek. It may not always name itself as such, but, in its last analysis, that is its nature and its name. We are all conscious of this in our soberest moments, and as we grow older we become more and more keenly alive to the fact. Then what are the essential ideas of home? They are locality, unity, refuge, defense, love, sympathy, sanctuary, peace, etc. These considerations are essential to the well-being of man. First, then, God adapts himself to our thought and declares himself to be a veritable, tangible locality—a habitation. In the Scriptures we read of the "Promised Land," the "City of the Great King," the "Father's House" and the "New Jerusalem." These are mere figures of speech to lead us on to something better. The psalmist here declares a great spiritual truth, and the text must be spiritually interpreted. But to the Jew everything was given in types. Abraham's bosom was the type of rest to the Hebrew. It was upon the breast of Jesus that the beloved Apostle John reclined. The bosom is conceived to be the seat of the sympathies and affections. So God is here represented to be the great Bosom—the great Home for weary children. This is his great fellowship, and nothing destroys men so long as they have great fellowship. Again, unity is an essential element in a home. This is perfect in the Deity. Refuge was the principal thought in the mind of Moses. Its meanings are: Shelter, harbor, retreat, high-tower, buttressed house for the protection of the homeless. God was all this to the ancient Hebrews: He surrounded his prophet with horses and charriots, with angels from Heaven; he fought for them by storm and fed them with bread from the sky; he spread abroad his shield and covered the people with his power. Christ was to them as the shadow of a great rock in a desert land. Home means resting place, and in God every idea of home is complete. It is to this thought that Moses calls us back. There are still types of God among us today. Every true home in the world is a type of God, and its true function is to keep us in memory of our "house not made with hands." The imperfect felicity of our life here often drives the heart to contemplate the life beyond in God our Saviour. Many of the world's greatest servants have been reared amid earthly bliss and ever thereafter denied the joy of perfect human love, that they might worship only God. So the imperfections of our homes here lead us toward God. We are all the while conscious that we may not make them absolutely proof against sin, disruption, dishonor, shame and dissolution, through allation. We cannot insure them against the decay of time and the throes of mortality. The charmed circle is broken; the house grows old and lonesome, and at last but a heap of stones is left. Even the memories we retain are but the reflections of those things God gave, and refused to withdraw, through all of our prodigality. Our dwelling places here are, therefore, but makeshifts till we get back to God. This is the lesson they are meant to teach—they are a cry for God. Again, all natural religion is but man's inner heart-beat for God. Each great conquest of man has been but a search for a better dwelling place. Nothing so deeply impresses the student of world history as the fact that upon every page of it he reads the sad, tragic story of man's homeliness for God. At this very time the nations of the whole earth seem converging toward a common center. The crises of the past have lent their power to a common cause, though in many cases they have done so all unconscious of what was to be the result. At any event, the peoples of the earth are about to discover a catholic bond by which all are to become one family, and this bond of uniting is a recognition of the true God and the unity of the human race in him. The old philosophies and religions have not satisfied and are being torn away. The nationalism of a century ago has become the internationalism of today. Federation and union of effort and life is the watchword among the Christian churches of the world. Men used to palaces, luxury, ease and pride; men of fame and learning—these have realized that restlessness and its consequent weariness are not cured by the abundance of earthly belongings. So we are on a shift. It is all in one general direction. It is the beginning of the homeward drift. We have it written upon us somehow that there is beauty, and harmony, and righteousness, and peace, somewhere in this great universe for the soul. We believe, we all, that there is a great Bosom of sympathy and love somewhere, and a light, the glory of which can never fade away. Friend, it is with thy God. Seek it there. NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE TWELFTH ANNUAL MEETING TO BE HELD IN LITTLE-ROCK, ARK. For the meetings of the National Educational association to be held in San Francisco, information has been furnished as to how arrangements should be made for Pullman or tourist car parties. The same information, with variations, may be of interest and value to the members of the National Negro Business league. Experience has shown that attendance at meetings may be largely increased by organizing Pullman or tourist car parties or special trains. Already a number of special Pullman or tourist car parties for the national Negro Business league meeting to be held at Little Rock, Ark., August 16, 17 and 18, are being organized throughout the country. All that is needed is for some one to take the initiative. The following suggestions are offered for the consideration of members of state and local Negro Business leagues and others interested: 1. Carefully canvass the matter in your own city or state. Formulate your plan of action, then select active workers in each important center to carry out the plan. In all cases make the special Pullman or tourist car party a personally conducted affair. 2. Select the most attractive route for the going trip to Little Rock to arouse interest among the delegates. Start early enough to permit stopovers at points of interest en route. The one in charge of the party should make a careful study of points of interest, etc., that he may in his correspondence, advertising and on the trip speak with authority. 3. Get the active cooperation of all the railroads and especially of the initial line in your state. When you have decided upon the route you favor, write (or better, see personally) the general passenger agent of that particular railway. Tell him you will undertake the work of securing a special car party to the Little Rock meeting, if you have positive assurance of his active cooperation on the following lines: (a) The railroad to furnish full information to all prospective members of the parties, giving data covering itinerary and points of interest en route to Little Rock. (b) The railroad to circulate this information and itinerary with your cooperation among the members of your local or state league. (c) The railroad to advertise the special Pullman or tourist car party in all the negro newspapers of the state. (d) The railroad to send instructions to its agents throughout your state to carry out the active canvass for members for the party, with your cooperation. 4. Secure headquarters for your party in Little Rock through W. M. Alexander, chairman committee on homes, $ 504 \frac{1}{2} $ West Ninth street, Little Rock, Ark. Persons intending to organize such tourist car parties are urged to keep the corresponding secretary, Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, in close touch with their plans, so that he may*bring parties in the same territory together. Attention to this request will be cordially appreciated. It will facilitate the whole movement. Tuskegee Institute, Ala. CHEAP PERFUMES MADE FROM MUSK SUPPLIED BY MANY VARIETIES OF Most women who indulge freely in the use of cheap perfumes do not know of what they are compounded. The principal ingredient of low-priced perfumes is musk, animal musk, which is obtained from several creatures. The muskrat is probably the best known of these, and a few decades ago the wives and sweethearts of men who set traps around ditches and ponds in the countryside carried proudly the bags of musk obtained from this source. As an article of commerce the musk supplied by several varieties of civet cats is probably the best known today. The odor is strong and sweet. The strength is the particularly noticeable feature and is the reason why it is the foundation of the perfumes. In the small mammal house at the zoological gardens are two sizes of civets, and any one with an investigating turn of mind may stand near the cages and catch the musky odor. The musk is used in the cheap perfumes, as only a little is needed to give a most lasting odor to an ounce of perfumery, but the musk itself is not cheap, and it is one of the duties of the attendants of the mammal house to collect it. It is then, sold through regular channels and is one of the sources of revenue to the zoo, although a small one.—Philadelphia Record. On the suggestion of the city forester the hyacinth has been banished from the Boston public garden. He pointed out that hyacinth bulbs poisoned the soil and that the plant often caused an irritating skin disease to those who handled it. NEGRO WORK FOR THE NEGRO ADDRESS DELIVERED BY E. C. MORRIS, D. D., TO THE BAPTIST-WORLD ALLIANCE AT PHILADELPHIA, PA. 'I am asked to speak upon "The Negro Work for the Negro." This theme as indicated is in plain accord with the policy of American Baptists as well as with my own ideas as to the most effective way to direct religious efforts among any people. It is not to be understood, however, that there are, or should be any color or racial lines drawn in the kingdom of grace, but rather it is my purpose to give emphasis to the fact that in undertaking any great work, the matter of adaptability must be taken into account in the employment of factors, if success is to abundantly follow the effort. There are no examples set or commands given by the Son of God that cannot be followed with assurance of success, and in sending forth his disciples on one occasion, he said to them, "Be ye, therefore, wise as serpents, and harmless as doves," and in going forth to bear the precious message of the Gospel it is well to consider this saying of the Master so as to be fully able to overcome whatever idiosyncrasies, superstitions, jealousies and prejudices that may be encountered in the non-Christian world Then again, I may be pardoned for saying that in the employment of agencies, an All-wise God may choose to send a Michael to a Daniel, or send him to defend a Moses against the imperialism of Satan; or he may send a Gabriel to Zacharias to convey Heaven's message as to the forerunner of the world's Redeemer, and while it is not given to men to reason why, we know that these heavenly messages were adapted to the specific duties they performed, and there is no ground for believing 'one to be inferior to the other. Let me localize my subject for a brief moment. For a number of years following the Civil war in this country, the great heart of the Christian people north and south went out to the emancipated, and many devout white Christians came among the negro people to do missionary and educational work among them. Their efforts met with signal success. But as the negro people became educated it developed that they preferred teachers and preachers from among their own people; hence the strength of the race was turned towards educating preachers and teachers, so as to supply their schools and churches. The negroes felt, and rightly so, I think, that their ministers and teachers should associate with them, should eat and drink in their humble homes, and do by contact, by social example much that could not be done by anyone in the schoolroom or pulpit alone. Owing to the wider race distinctions, this could not become a rule with the white ministers and teachers, and the most that they could do without sacrificing their social standing among their own people was to preach, teach and baptize the negroes. The negroes as a rule were opposed to the social intermingling of the races, preferring to maintain their peculiar racial identity. Hence the demand for negro churches and negro preachers became imperative. In the matter of separation in the church life of the people on this continent, the blacks have been the beneficiaries to a very large extent. This has enabled them in the forty-five years of their freedom to establish more than one hundred high schools and colleges, twenty-seven thousand church houses with a valuation of forty million dollars. They have also twenty-five thousand ordained ministers, and more than ten thousand well educated men and women who are teaching in schools and preaching in churches, while others are successfully following the professions of law and medicine and all other vocations. Then again, the negroes have enrolled fully fifty per cent. of the entire race in this country in Christian churches. This, in my opinion, is a showing which cannot be made by any other race in so short a time, and is due largely to the fact that the negro people regard their ministers as their God-appointed leaders, and, as a rule, accept their teaching without question. But in speaking of "The Negro Work for the Negro," we are including a larger range of thought and territory than that which applies to the negroes of the United States, and we hope to make it plain that the negroes of the United States are the logical Christian leaders of the black people of the world. In the beginning of the negroes' life as freemen in the United States, a wise Providence directed that the race should make as the base of its future the principles of Christianity, taking as guide that scripture which says, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all things shall be added unto you." They believed then and believe now that whatever else is necessary to complete a well rounded Christian civilization must follow in its time. The blacks of South America were liberated more than a score of years before freedom came to the negroes of the United States, and I mean no unfavorable criticism when I say that it appears from present conditions that the black people of South America turned their attention principally to the accumulation of wealth and secular education, which indeed are essential elements in the well being and growth of any people. But these when used as a foundation will prove a shameful failure. Hence our South American brothers in black are lacking in those Christian graces of self-control, forbearance and perseverance and the like, which have rendered the achievements of the negro of the United States a wonder of the world. What is said of the blacks of South America may be applied with some emphasis to the black people of the West Indies and other parts of the world. It is a fact that the negroes of the United States have become the logical leaders of the black people of the whole world and are today giving the Gospel of the Son of God to those of their own race who were free many years before they were. As further evidence on this point, and to strengthen the proposition that the negro is the most acceptable and successful ambassador to bear the message of redeeming grace to the people of his race, I submit you an official reference to the great work of the foreign mission board of the National Baptist convention. The secretary of that board in speaking of the glorious achievements of the negro Baptist among the dark races of the earth, says: "As negro Baptists we have more than sixty churches and missions in Africa, eight in the West Indies, five in South America, with between 11,000 and 12,000 baptized believers enrolled on the books." It should be borne in mind that the negro Baptists have only been organized for foreign mission work 30 years, and when these facts are laid alongside the earnest, devout, persistent efforts of the boards among out white brethren to accomplish results among these same people, it will be clearly seen that it would have been far better if it had always been recognized that the foreign mission board of the National Baptist convention is the best medium through which to make contributions towards fostering this particular work, or to have employed negro ministers as missionaries for this work. In making this suggestion we do not assume to advise the missionary boards among our white brethren, but to earnestly invite them to consider first of all the adaptability of the agents to bear the message in the light of the distinctive characteristics to those whom the message is sent. I think it will be readily admitted that one of the most effectual ways of spreading the gospel is found in the house to house work, and to be able to do this house to house preaching the preacher must be taken into the full confidence of the people and must be willing to put himself on race equality with the people, or they spurn the message that he brings. So long as there are any to say he has gone to be with a man that is a sinner, so long will it be necessary to employ great tact in delivering the gospel of Jesus Christ to the different types of the human family. But, my friends, I would have you know that conditions warrant what I have here said. For I firmly believe that the time will come when there will be "neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free," white or black, European nor American, Asiatic or African, in the kingdom of God, but all will be one in Christ Jesus. But until that time shall come, we should work along, recognizing the "metes and bounds" set by an All-Wise Creator, who will in his own time and way level the hills and mountains; and raise up the valleys, until this division of labor and distribution of tasks shall unite to promote the oneness of Christ and his cause the world over. The system of religion which we profess should be prompted by Christian patience and evangelical diplomacy and not by person or racial selfishness or prejudice. It was said in effect by a distinguished southern churchman some years ago that "if he who is called the Prince of Peace cannot rid the gospel of every taint of selfishness, if he is not able to make all his followers one in him, and save to the uttermost all who trust in him, then he is unable to save a single being. I would add to this significant statement, that if he who is presented in Holy Writ as one going forth conquering and to conquer should pause in his triumphant march, to draw a line of distinction between his loyal followers because of race or color, then his kingdom is unfit for the habitation of men or angels, and he would be unworthy of the worship of the humblest creature on earth. But we, lay no charge at his door, for he is the same Lord over all and to all the people, and will in his own time and way bring about that time when there will be no lines of caste among the children of the great King, but all shall be one in him. But until that time shall come, when these lines shall be broken down and the monster, race prejudice, has been dethroned and there shall be but one family recognized among men, and that, the human family. It seems to me that the logical man, the acceptable ambassador to bear the message of redeeming grace to the negro people, is the negro. In conclusion, allow me to say, using the words of a distinguished negro preacher, that, "When the day of final reckoning shall come, and when the three sons of Noah who were separated on the plains of Shinar, shall again meet as one family to render an account of their stewardship that the sons of Ham shall not be ashamed of the report they shall be able to make." Not only did they give shelter and protection to the infant Saviour, when Mary, his mother, and Joseph fed from the wrath of Herold, but bore the cross after him amid the jeers and derision of his wicked persecutors. When a horse falls in the harness his natural inclination is to get up again. The shock of the fall has excited him more or less, and in his efforts to arise he may further injure himself as well as the harness. The first action should be to sit on his head, pointing his nose upward with one hand, to keep him from struggling until the traces and all other attachments to the vehicle can be unfastened. If two persons are present this can be done without difficulty. If a horse breaks his leg the most humane as well as the most sensible action is to shoot him on the spot. It is true that cases are on record where broken legs have been successfully treated by means of suspending the horse in a sling and pulleys, but the experiments in this direction have almost invariably met with failure. To shoot a suffering animal and kill him instantly is not so simple a matter as it at first appears, says Country Life in America. Many shots are sometimes fired before death results. How and where should a horse be shot? In the center of every horse's forehead a little above the line of the eyes is a little swirl something like a cowlick. Three inches above this swirl is the exact spot to lodge the bullet to insure its piercing the brain. The bullet should not be of less than 38 caliber. For sprains hot or cold bandages are recommended. Fomenations promptly applied sometimes prevent permanent lameness. Spraining of the back snews is only too common and unless promptly and properly treated results in knuckling and other complications. Blistering, firing and even nerving are resorted to, but it should be borne in mind that these drastic measures are often unnecessarily taken. Rest, turning out where practicable under favorable conditions, and massage often effect a cure. Not infrequently a horse will pick up a nail. It is unnecessary to say that the first aid is to remove the nail. If suppuration ensue poulice the wound and give the animal rest until well. It may be well to remove the shoe for a time. Great care should be taken that the nail be not broken off flush, with the sole and left there to fester. Horses are peculiarly susceptible to tetanus or lockjaw, and a nail often causes it. LETTERS OF CONDOLENCE. There are persons who never take notice of another's sorrow. They wait until the bereaved one is met. Sometimes this attitude is from fear of intrusion, again it is from fear of not saying the right thing, too often it is from procrastination. Whatever the reason it is a mistake. There are some few who dislike outside sympathy in sorrow, the majority are hurt if it is not given. They never quite feel the same toward the friend who they think was neglectful of their trouble. The visiting card with a few words of sympathy is sufficient, save among close friends. A married woman incloses the card of her husband. Never make a note of condolence stilted. It should express you, and not be an essay on grief. Also be brief. A few sincere sentences count more than pages of rambling platitudes. It is customary to send the note to the member of the family you know best, including the others in your expressions of sympathy. GOOSEBERRY FOOL. Put into a jar one quart of green gooseberries, with two tablespoonsful of water and two cupfuls of sugar; set the jar in a saucepan of boiling water and boil until the fruit will mash; beat to a pulp and put through a coarse sieve. To one pint of pulp add one-half pint of cream and one cupful of milk; add the milk first gradually, beating well. Serve cold. FLASH-LIGHTS It is said— That if you work for a man, in heaven's name work for him. If he pays wages that supply you your bread and butter, work for him, speak well of him, think well of him, stand by him and stand by the institution he represents. The man who is worthy of being a leader of men will never complain of the stupidity of his helpers, of the ingratitude of mankind, nor of the inappreciation of the public. That failure is only for those that think failure. That every man should keep a fair-sized cemetery in which to bury the faults of his friends. That persistence has won most of the world's battles and all of its skirmishes. That quite 70 per cent, of ambition is never realized at all, and 90 per cent, of all ambition realized is fruitless. That to be great in our history or in any other history a man must stand for something. That only about one man out of fifty ever thinks. The rest merely memorize and think they think. That the devil was asleep when man was made, but he awoke before woman was completed. AFRO-AMERCAN_CULLNES qt Two hundred and fifty-nine diplomas trom all the departments of Tuskegee institute were awarded to one hundred and seventy different students. Thé commencement sermon was preached on Sunday by the Rt. Rev. John C. Kilgo, bishop of the Methodist Episcopat Church, South. Bishop Kil 0's admonition to the senior class set ‘the standard for the week, The youpg people have been reminded over and ‘over again, as Bishop Kilgo said, that they would be put to a severer test than men and women who have not had their training. “And it Is just,” he sald, “that you Should be tried by severer standards than men who have not had your op- portunities, men who have not come into this educated circle. It is fair more should be expected of you. 1 ‘would fix in your minds that you are always under fire, and It is a capital thing. You have got to justify not only your right to lve as men and ‘women, but you have got to justify your right to live as educated men and women, You cannot justify this by arrogant assumption of superiority. ‘The fact is, genuine superiority Is not conscious of itself. Real superiqrity, is 80 insensible of itself that it is never compelled to sit up and nurse itself. A man sensible of hfs right and his gocial position fs not compelled to sit ‘up with It at night, or wrap ft up and feed on warm tea. He can afford to let it go into the street and walk by the commonest beggar and be helpful to the commonest wretch, It Is the man whose social standing is not only questionable in the community, but very questionable with himself, who cannot afford to speak to a wagon driver or a ditch cleaner. You must vindicate your educational rights in a beautiful, simple way. Simplicity {s the highest virtue of genuine mas- tery.” This month the Universal Race con- gress convenes in London, England, and Prof. W. E. Burghargt Dubois has sailed for that place to represent the American negro at this convention of the foremost thinkers and students of the world. The congress will be of in- finite benefit to all the races of the earth and it is expected that they will all be represented and that each rep- resyntative will be prepared to fur- ish the congress with the kind of data‘from which can be drawn conclu- sions which will go far toward lessen- ing the intensity of race hatred.

Eastman will speak for the Indfan and Prof. DuBois for the negro, We are certain that our interests will be ably looked after by the great scholar and sociologist — Louisville Defender. These saloon and dive “bullies” of our race is the element that should be Jooked after. They are the law- breakers among us, they are the dis- turbers of the peace, the abusers of privilege and the instigators of the strife and friction that bar many good negroes from many privileges open to them, This class of negroes is unde- sirable. They must be peaceful or the law will do as they see fit with them. This ‘country has built jails, penitentiaries and all manner of pris: ons in every quarter; they are being filled with men and boys of our race —nine-tenths of them being of the lower class, The better class of our people are not molested by the law. —Exchange. Men have pursued their courses to topmost fame and have fallen and come again with much glow and splen- dor as before. But, alas, the poor woman's fall is the greater. It is un- pardonable among mankind and her reward remains in the unknown be- yond; no matter what change comes about to lift her from shame. Why may not she bear the respect and praise the man receives, when he has com- mitted that whjch {s wrong? She 1s @ woman. Each race looks to the woman for virtue, morality and the right bidding of men. If she falls, it {s fatal—Palestine Plaindealer. One of the things that we must Jearn and learn speedily fs that we must depend upon ourselves both as individuals and as a race.

We give the following extract from the Crisis taken from the Sa¢ramento (Cal.) Unton: . “In both members and moral, and mental enlightenment the race has grown with strides of which the dy- erage Arserican has no comprehen- ston, Is it generally known, for in- stance, that today there are 10,000,000 black people in the United States? Is it known, except to_the investigators, that 3,700,000 are members of churches, presided over by 35,224 or- dained, ministers in 35,160 houses of worship? That the total value of Property owned by negroes is $56, 650,000? That there are 35,000 negro Sunday schools with 1,700,000 pupils and 210,000 teachers? That the negro churches contribute annually $500,000 for education, $50,000 for foreign mis- sions and $100,000 for the support of missionaries at hothe? That the ne- eroes are themselves maintaining 175 colleges, industrial schools and acade- mies?” What do you think of this showing In less than half a century? ‘Thousands of our people are rent- ers today, who have had the chance of owning homes, but let such oppor- tunities pass unseen. This is a sad mistake on the part of some of our people. Many of us are rearing large familtes who, if you should die, would be left homeless and out of doors. These opportunities of home-buyjng are not always going to exist. Land is advancing in prices daily, and in -a short while it will be beyond the reach of the meager wages of the common working-man, The rent some of us pay per month would make pay- ments on homes. In many, ‘of the cities rent ranges from $10 to $20 per month, In smaller towns from $4 to $10. A home could be purchased at these monthly terms. Land is grow- ing more precious dally, and every negro family should be the possessor of a home—Palestine Plaindealer. We do not believe that any large proportion of the negro race Is at any time deceived as to the manner in which it is to make genuine and real Progress. There is but one way for any people to.make progress that will stand the test of ages, and that is through Improvement along material, educational, moral and commercial lines, together with the possession and use of all of their civil rights. Un- fortunately, human nature {s so const!- tuted that these possessions cannot be gotjen hold of by mere passing of res- olutions, cannot be secured by cursing and condemning the other fellow. They can only be gotten by constant, hard, persistent effort. The majority of the race understands what [t must do to succeed and is not going to be fooled—Memphis News. Hawail is now clamoring for state- hood, A concurrent resolution of the senate and house of Hawai! has been placed before-the house of representa- tives, asking congress to pass an en- abling act for a constitutional con- vention, preparatory to admitting Ha- wall to statehood. It is also asked that congress authorize the raising of certain funds, to encourage Cau- casian Immigration, and to extend edu- cational facilities in the islands. The resolutions were referred to the com- mittee on territories. It is a good sign if Hawaii is ambitious. Most people associate with those islands a spirit of lethargic contentment with exist- ing conditions —Charieston Messenger. Palestine with over 900 negro fam- illes does not show up. well in negro enterprisé support. About one-third of its familfes are trading with negro grocers and the two-thirds somewhere else.

SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1911 It is a source of great satisfaction to the Negroes of Savannah to note that through the efforts of the Grand Jury the ill-constructed, inconvenient, and most unsanitary toilet arrangements in the colored schools are to be replaced by more modern and improved ones. It has been practically impossible for the hundreds of Negro school children to find adequate accommodations in the present ill-arranged toilets and it has been a means of much embarrassment to them. Many of them have had to suffer the whole day for lack of accommodations. And while referring to this matter we should be pleased if the school authorities would go a step farther and see that the pupils are more comfortably seated. A growing habit, and one which is very reprehensible, among the younger class of Negroes, is that of promiscuous and public swearing on the streets. The use of vile and profane language is entirely unnecessary and is deplorable at all times, but it is doubly offensive on the public thoroughfares where women and children are liable to hear it. After a certain hour in the evening men and boys are prone to congregate on the corners where they indulge in this offensive habit regardless of passers by even though they may be women of the highest respectability or children easily contaminated by their vulgar words. They pay no deference to age or sex. This might be expected of persons from the slums of the city but when those who have had advantage of good home training, exercise no more discretion and are guilty of such ungentlemanly conduct, it is intolerable. It would be a blessing if these young men could be brought to see how despicable their conduct is and could be induced to depart from this deplorable habit. The leaders of youth ought to feel it imperative to give this matter their serious consideration. Parents, teachers, preachers, and women in general should make every effort to discourage profanity and all sorts of vile language. In many of the northern states and cities children under a certain age are compelled by law to attend school during a stated period each year. In places where this law is in vogue it has been found that the community in general has been benefited and that the youth as a result of this compulsory education have a more general knowledge of things than those in other sections. It is with pleasure that we have noticed that a bill has been recently introduced into the Georgia House of Representatives requiring that parents shall send children from six to eighteen years of age to school during sixty days of each school year. We feel that with compulsory education in the state much of the illiteracy which is now to be found among us will soon be eliminated and that the commonwealth in general will be greatly benefited. There are reasons upon reasons why we should all hope that this bill will successfully pass through the legislature but they are too obvious to be dwelt upon at length. Education is probably the greatest means of ridding the state of crime, for it is only through the medium of school training that we can hope to get useful and law-abiding citizens. The criminal is not often from the ranks of the educated but he is generally from that class of citizens who have paid little or no attention to their school training. Education raises a man's ideas of life thereby causing him to grasp the higher things of life. It takes the child who has not been born under the most encouraging environments and makes a man of him, and it develops a child as nothing else can do. With the passage of this bill and a strict enforcement of the compulsory law, the educational standing of Georgia will be raised and the thousands of children who are now growing up in ignorance and running wild through the streets when they should be in school will be saved. A Powerful Minority, or How Savannah Saved the Administration The true story of the salvation of the administration may be better understood when the information is imparted that Sir G. N. Stoney had a majority of the votes of the Grand Lodge, leaving out Savannah. Savannah's votes were for Foster B. Pettie, but this force was so organized that no power from the outside could shatter the cordon that bound them. Savannah's force was in the minority. But the forces of Sirs Stoney and Hutto were so nearly equal that it gave us the balance of power. We could not elect our candidate and we did not care to slaughter such splendid material, nor did we desire that our men go down in abject defeat under an avalanche of votes. So we skimmed for vantage ground. We attempted to treat first, with the Atlanta forces. They underestimated our strength and turned us down. We tried to treat with Augusta, they gave us the "marble heart." In the meanwhile we canvassed among the delegates by the "runner-system" and in less than six hours, knew who would vote for Stoney and who would vote for Hutto. We knew our strength. Adding the two columns, we had a reasonably correct knowledge of the votes of the Grand Lodge. Then, scanning the situation carefully, we saw that we were master of the skirmish and could defeat or elect any one of the leading candidates we chose and then, our demands were soon made. We went again to Atlanta's Augusta's headquarters. We partially from the knowledge of either such facts as might militate against us. They threw us down again, saying we had too little to offer. We knew what we had and how the entire machinery was blocked by us. We caucused again to acquaint each of our gallant supporters with the situation. These gallant fellows then had a committee appointed to confer with the forces of the administration. The administration had looked a little more carefully at conditions and hurried to cinch a bargain. We did not hurry to accept, but called another caucus and reported the result of the consultation to our braves, letting them know every move on the checker board. Our supporters were loyal, and were made more so, if possible, for the fact that they were consulted about every move we made. And this teaches, or should teach, a useful lesson. The more recognition there is given to the followers in any endeavor the stronger the ban that binds them. This little minority stood pat, though. But twaks to do or die. Our supporters bade us yield to partial victory rather than to abject defeat. We obeyed. Our candidate agreed and thus was the minority made the fulcrum upon which the lever of administrative power rested, to lift itself to victory. The result of the election is shown by the men elected. Savannah's organization saved the day for the administration and elected every other man elected. We could have defeated anybody. We elected everybody. This fact is public property and it went into every nook; and cranny of the state in advance of the delegates who attended the Grand Lodge and "a crowd of witnesses around, held them in full survey." This is the history of the contest and This is the history of the contest and it defies contradiction. The Second Annual Thanksgiving Service and Second Annual Session of the United Brotherhood of America. America. On Sunday July 9th, 1911 the brothers of the said United Brotherhood of America, met at Scott's Hall, Gwinnett and West Broad Streets, formed a line and marched down to Bryan Baptist Church, where they were greeted by a host of royal sisters of the various Temples, and a crowd of loving members of the Junior Temples. Final preperations having been perfected, we entered the edifice, where an appreciative audience was awaiting our appearance, while the sweet music from the pipe organ filled our ears. Just here Prof. John McIntosh W. A Crescent Temple No 2, in chosen words, presented the Master of Ceremony, brother R. W. Jones, who seated the order, after which he inspired all by his very appropriate words, for having come out to witness and take part in the services; after singing "Bless be the tie that binds," the following excellent program was rendered. Invocation, Rev. N. H. Whitmire, W. Appr., Unity No 19; Solo, W. Howard, P. G. D. No. 12; Paper; "Our Work, its Past, Present, and Future," (Mrs.) Leola B. J. Lennert, S. G. M. Queen Esther No 11; Anthem; Short Historical Sketch of the Origin of the Order, Hon. R. L. Lockley S. G. S. No. 4; Oration, Prof. W. D. Kennedy, S. G. A. and Founder, No. 1; Reading of the 1st Psalm, Hon B. J. Lammert 2nd V. S. G. A. No. 16; Paper; "The Brotherhood," J. S. Perry, No. 12; Thanksgiving Giving Offer; S. G. of Finance No. 3, Past of First Bryan Baptist Church; Announcements, Presentations etc. Song; "God be with you we till meet." Benediction; Adjournment. There were many timely and encouraging remarks from the various members and officers of the brotherhood. The Oration of the S. G. A. was inspiring and sparkled with brilliancy of thought and foresight. Judging from the liberality of the congregation, when the collection was called for, we are quite sure that all enjoyed the exercises, for we realized a nice sum which was given for charitable purposes. The Second Annual Session of the United Brotherhood of America was held in St. Philips A. M. E. Church, Charles and West Broad Streets, at 10:45 Monday morning July 10th, 1911 S. G. A. Prof. W. D. Kennedy called the house to order After the devotional exercises, the Second Annual Session was in full operation. The Annual Address of S. G. A. W. D. Kennedy was instructive, timely and encouraging, and also showed that the Brotherhood is now operating in three states. Many brothers and sisters expressed their appreciation for the success of the order, and for the co-operation of the S. G. officers and pledged willingness to go forward. The reports of the S. G. officers were grand, especially those of the S. G. S., which showed a great increase numerically and the S. G. R. of Finance which showed another great increase financially. All reports showed advancement and that each had been on duties line. After toiling Monday and Tuesday until 2 o'clock p. m. the Supreme Grand Session adjourned to meet the Fourth Monday in July One Thousand Nine hundred and Twelve. Much good legislation was enacted. Under the prevailing indications, the United Brotherhood of America will soon be one of the hannen orders of the state and country. Mr. J. S. Perry was appointed Official Stenographer of the Order. The session was harmonious throughout and the spirit of unity prevailed. J. S. Perry, Reporter Solomon Temple No. 12.

A precious one from us Las gone, A voice we love is still A place is vacant in our home That we cannot fill. You have never been forgotten, Nor will you ever be As long as life and memory last We will remember thee. For many years you faithfully worked, Ere your faithful course was run Nor ever by thee was duty shirked Nor ever was love's task left undone, And all these years thou has ever stood Like one who watches upon the tower Looking ever for thy children's good, Even at thy post from hour to hour. But now you sleep free from all pain And we who mourn are left in tears, But we would not call thee back To this sad vale of tears, For we well know thou has gone To that bright world above, That thou must wait for us to join Thee in that land of love. Sleep husband, sleep, father take thy rest Thy pilgrimage on earth is over, Thy tired hands folded on thy breast At peace and rest forevermore, Wife, Mrs. Sylvia Smith, Children, Miss Rainy Smith, Mrs. Frances Williams, and Mrs. Ethel Walker, of New York. Mrs. Leola Hutchins, Mr. Elzy Smith. Resolution. Savannah, Ga., July 9th, 1911. Again the silent reaper has invaded the Young Men's Christian Club and borne from our midst Bro. Raiford Jones, one of our most earnest and loyal members. Whereas, Bro. Jones, by his Christian life and character, as well as by his devotion to the club and to other deserving interests, merits the highest commendation from this club, therefore, be it Resolved, That as an organization bound by ties of patriotism for a cause dear and sacred to us all, we have suffered a great loss. We shall miss the willing hands and energetic zeal of the friend who gave of his best talents to further the interests of the Christian Club. That our deepest sympathy goes out to the sorrowing home circle and pray God to sanctify this affliction to their good and His glory. Be it further Resolved. That a page of our minutes be set apart to his memory and these resolutions inscribed thereon; that they be published in The Savannah Tribune and that a copy of them be sent the family.

Paris Dress SHIRTS FLAXON LAWNS APRON CHECKS Men's and Women's HOSIERY Men and Women FURNISHINGS Of Interest to Our Women TIMELY TOPICS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN. Houses and homes, are one of the chief interests of men despite the fact that a great many say there is no home life today. But even these are influenced by the times, and the tastes and ideas of the present generation ditfer vastly from those of their par- ents. Homes as they used to be still exist in country districts, but life in flats and hotels seems to be the craze of today. Stern critics set this down as a sign of the times and as a proof of national decadence, But in real fact it 1s more a result of hard work and of the strenuous life that is lived in the twentleth century. Flats have their drawbacks. They lack space, quiet and to a certain extent privacy. On the other hand, flat life has its charms; {t needs fewer servants than e house, entails less expense, and to a lone woman affords a certain protec- tion. Also—and this counts for much —one knows the Hmit of one’s ex- penses. A- woman cam live in com- fort in a flat with her mald and a cook, who, if she had a house, would have work for at least five servants. And if her maid will consent to ans- wer the doorbell and bring in tea in ‘the afternoon, the little menage may be a perfect success. Hotel life is, of course, the best if one wishes to do away with house- Keeping. And at private hotels, with a set of rooms, a fair amount of quiet can be secured. Here again the want of space may be a grievance, but the pubilc rooms of a hotel can be used at one's good will and pleasure. This sort of life, with its freedom from pet- ty cares, appeals to women who do much brain work. It is the fashion to zay that people who live in flats or at hotels become selfish and frivolous. But a busy woman seldom frivols, even if she fs brought into touch with others less likely to be selfish than ifs she lived in old-world retirement. However, even now, to some the wom an's house fs her castle. EVENING FLOWERS. Tiie fact that this 1s to be a great flower year 1s foreshadowed not only ‘by the embroideries that decorate the dresses but by the artificial blossoms ‘that adorn so many of the trains, among them carnations, sweet peas, water lilles, geraniums and myriads of roses. The new way with embroidery ‘flowers is to cut the petals out of silk, satin and velvet and fix them against ‘the train, leaving some to fall out- ward so that they look as if they ‘vere natural blossoms. The padded lower {5 also very much seen, and is employed for the embellishment of panels, It is the opinion of the women of ‘today that the large and heavy bou- quet not only incommodes its owner but hides her frock. QUEEN MARY'S EARRINGS, It is because Queen Mary js never seen without earrings that so many smart women of today are wearing them. Her majesty has a really fine collection of these ornaments, some of which are of great historic interest. ‘Many fine pairs were bequeathed to the queen by her late mother, Mary, duchess of Teck, who also had a great penchant for earrings. For day wear the queen usually favors short earrings, generally of single stones which rest on the ear, but in the eve- ning she adopts the pictuersqud long shape. Her ears are pierced in old- fashioned style, and she will have nothing to do with the screw fasten- ings which are almost universally used today. VEILS. Now that the handsome lace and embroidery vells are worn so much, women who are sufficiently skilled in needlework should do the decorative part themselves and thus save moncy. ‘The foundation 1s a plain Brussels net, the thread employed a fine em- broldery silk, ‘The pattern is placed under the net and traced with the needle and thread. The transfer pa- pers that are sold for the ofdinary embroidery will answer, but the hot iron ts not necessary. Just baste net and pattern ‘together and when com- plete: snp the basting threads. FLANNEL ON HEMS, 1 Many Uttle annoyances Incurred by the home dressmaker may be avolded dy a judicious use of interlining. The filmsiness of Ught evening dresses may be remedied by sewing within the hem a strip of light flannel’ in a ‘shade that will not change the color ot the dress. This will weigh the ekirt down without adding superfluous bulk. HINTS ABOUT SERVANTS FOR THE HOSTESS. Give your guests every attention. + Do not scold and make the maids nervous. Arrange matters before the arrival of your guests. a; Be at your ease, and thus put every one at their ease. Give the cook and waitress each a pony of list to be served. ‘The instructions as to nen, silver and glass should be clear, QUEEN MARY'S TABLEWARE. Queen Mary's pantry at Windsor is said to contain the most valuable col- lection of tableware in the world. Every relgn since Queen Elizabeth's has contributed to the collection, which is stored in two rooms. The walls are Ined with cases made of plate glass and mahogany, with sim- flar cases occupying the, center of each room. The most imposing thing in these two rooms is the dinner serv- ice of solid gold used only for dinners of the highest state. There is a table of solid silver three feet In length. A rosewater fountain of silver has a dome supported on columns around which ure grouped horses and hounds. A silver gilt flagon almost a yard high is sald to have been saved from the Armada. A pair of bellows mounted in silver and gold was once the prop- erty of Nell Gwyn. There Is a mas- sive pair of firedogs in solid silver made for Charles II. and a huge punch bowl was contributed by George 1V.—New York Sun. INGENIOUS HOSTESS. The hostess who has experienced the confusion of seating a large num- ber of guests at small tables will ap- preciate the device of one woman who accomplished it gracefully. ‘The guests were to be seated in sev- eral rooms at tables holding six and four. The hostess made an alphabet list of guests and hung it in the hall. Opposite the name of each woman was the number of the table and the room in which it was set. On the tables each having its separate floral piece, was a number cut from gilt pa- per and placed In the center of flowers 80 it could be quickly seen. Place cards were used, as at an ordinary luncheon. SMALL CAKES AND LOAF CAKES, Angel food is a popular loaf’ cake for ceremonious occasions, and it is a cake that {s equally nice baked in small forms. A good recipe Is made ‘with a cup as a measuring base, one cupful of granulated sugar, and one of pastry flour sifted four times, one ot white of eggs, one teaspoonful of cream of, tartar, the same of vanilla; a pinch of salt added to eggs before beating. Beat eggs very light, then add the sugar and vaiilla; fold in the flour, which has had the cream of tartar sifted in it. It is best not to stir the cake much after adding the flour. + FOR RATTLING WINDOWS. In some houses the windows have an unpleasant habit of rattling at all times of the day and night, whenever it 1s the least bit windy. In such a case an ordinary clothes peg 1s most effective. It must be split in halves and one half inserted on elther side between the framework end the window, says Home Chat. A good plan Js to paint the clothes peg the same color as the window frame and secure the pleces by a cord and screw to the frame, so that they will be in readiness when needed. SUMMER COIFFURE. Young girls this summer are part ing the hair in front, or brushing it back In a soft, unratted pompadour and arranging the ends in a chignon of little putt or curls at the back of the head. A broad band of black vel- Yet- or of satin ribbon in the color of the frock Is then passed over the top of the head and under the chignon at the back and tled in a rosette bow just over the left ear. This class{c arrangement is very becoming to a pretty face, and serves also to keep rlotous locks in order on the tennis court and in the sallvoat. STRAWBERRY SARABANDE, Whip one cup of cream till very stiff and light; cut one pint of straw- berries Into small bits with a silver Knife, and str them lightly Into the cream.

Serve with lady fingers and maccaroons, PLAINT OF AN EX-EMPRESS, ExEmpress Eugenie, widow of Na- poleon IIL, celebrated her elghty-ffth birthday several days ago. She is re- ported to have said lately: “I am a poor woman who has lived much and suffered much. I am as one walking backwards, facing the horizon which he has crossed already. I have re nounced the future, I lve in my youth and my past. All else is but 2 shadow—a dark shadow. : LONG HOODS ON SHORT COATS. There 1s no decrease in the populari- ty of long V-shaped hoods on short coats. They are made of the material itself or of satin or silk in the same color as, the coat, but they are faced with a vivid silk and held down by a thick tassel. = THE OLO BATES HOUSE A HOTEL THAT ONCE STARTLED * INDIANAPOLIS WITH ITS INNOVATIONS, I remember that when Indianapolis became a great railroad center and city of enormous proportions—popula tion from 25,000 to 20,000, according to the creative capacity of the Imagination making the estimate— wonderful hotel was built there and cailed the Bates house. lis splendors were the subject ot wondering ¢gomment throughout the west. It had washstands with deco rated pottery on them In all its more expensive rooms so that a guest 50 Journing there need not go down te ‘the common washroom for his morn ing ablution and dry bis hands and face on a jack towel. There were combs and -brushes in the rooms, too, so that if one wanted to smooth his bair he was not obliged to resort to the appliances of that art that were hung by chains to the wash: room walls. * Moreover, if a man going to the Bates house for a sojourn chose to pay a trifle extra he might have a room all to himself. But all these subjects of wonder- ment shrink to nothingness by com- parison when the proprietors of the Bates house printed on their break- fast bills of fare an announcement that thereafter each guest's breakfast would be cooked after his order for it was given, together with anappeal for patience on the part of the breakfast: ers—a patlence that the proprietors promised to reward with hot and fresh- ly prepared dishes, This innovation Wag s0 radical that it excited discussion hotter ever than the Bates house breakfasts. Opinions differed as! to the right of a hotel keeper to make his guests walt for the cooking of their breakfasts. ‘To some minds the thing presented itself as an Snvasion of personal liberty and there- fore of the constitutional right of the cltizen—Edward Eggleston's “Recol- lections.” A FRAGRANT TRAIN cUT FLOWER LIMITED EXPRESS A UNIQUE FEATURE IN FRANCE. Every night during the winter months a special train, popularly called the, “Raplde des Fleurs"—the cut flower Imited exprees—of ten cars, leaves Toulon for Paris over- the Ine of the Paris, Lyons and Mediter- ranean railway, carrying cut flowers in baskets and cardboard boxes from all stations on the line from Nice to Toulon to the Parls markets. Certain cars are switched off to Frankfort, Berlin and Munich; others continue to Brussels and others to Calals, where thelr perishable freight 1s rushed to the markets of London and Manchester. Certain shipments reach. St. Peters- burg and Vienna, and the facilittes thus offered the flower growers of southern France are unique in the transportation world. A special train crew sorts these tens of thousands of parcels en route, the elght or ten sorters"handling the baskets as care- fully,as the mafls are handled. The cut flower industry of southern France began with the Impetus first given by Alphorse Karr, the ecrivain fardinier, as he was known when he settled in St. Raphael in the latter part of the last century. Today the violets of Hyeres, like the roses and carnations of Antlbes and the narcfssus and Roman ‘hya- cinths of Ollfoules, Le Pradet and Carquieranne, are found in the shops of Paris scarce eighteen hours after they were growing In the open air on the Mediterranean shores. SHIPS THAT KICK SEAMEN DON'T LIKE THEM AND DODGE THEM IF THEY CAN... When sailors joln a ship almost the first question asked by each one as he takes the wheel for the first time is: “Does she kick?” Kicking, as it fs called by the sea. men, ls due to the action of the water under the Jee of the rudder when the vessel's stern, which has for a mo ment been borne skyward on the crest of a wave, falls back agalh into the trough with such terrific force as to make her tremble fore and aft and perhaps wrench the wheel from the grasp of the steersman. Sometimes it happens that he fs taken unawares and, belng pnable to let go ‘in time, is flung right over the wheel to the other side of the deck, often receiving serious injuries. Sometimes a man will be pitched right overboard into the sea, and a re- cent case is known of a man who Te- celyed a blow under the chin from one of the spokes and died a few days later from the effects. In some of the worst types of kick- ers kicking straps are used regular- ly in nearly all weathers, and many sallors refuse to go to sea in ships which are known to be confirmed Adckers—London Tit-Bits.

Place—Jerusa- lem, Exposition—1, Cleansing the Land of Abominations, 1-7. Manasseh began to reign at an early age and relgned badly. Josiah began to relgn at a still earller age and reigned well. The wise man wrote, “Woe to thee, oh Jand, when thy king 1s a child? (Eccles. 10:16), and: this is trué as a general’ principle, but Josiah was an. exception to the’ rule. What the earller influences were that led Josiah into a different line of conduct from that pursued by hls wicked father and wicked grandfather, we are not told, but further on in Ife it was the dls- covery of the long-lost law of God that Jed to the larger reformation fn the Kingdom. The account of Jostah’s life and reign found In 2 K, 22, 23 should be read. The prophets Jeremiah and Zephaniah flourished in Josiah’s time (Jer. 1:2, Zeph. 1:1). Doubtless they, especially Jeremiah, had a large influ- ence over Jostah, Joash began to reign a year younger than Josiah (2 Ch. 24:1) and the good part of his reign was due to the influence of Je- holada, 2 man of God. Of a few of Judah's kings it is sald, “They did that which wa right in the eyes of the Lord” (cf. ch. 14:2; 17:3; 29:2) Of many it 1s sald, “They did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord.” Very likely what Joslah did was not right in the eyes of many of ‘the leading politiclans of the day, but that mattered not as long as it was right In the eyes of the Lord, One who would please God must not turn aside elther to the right hand or the left from anything that God prescribes in hts Word. Abundant blessing awalts everyone who thus obeys God (John 15:14; Jobn 14:21, 23; Deut. 5:32; AFL, 20; 28:14; Josh, 1:7, 8; 23:6), ‘The trouble with the average Chris- tlan is that he seeks s!mply to obey God {n a general way, but feels at IIb- erty to turn to the right hand or to the left from his Word when it sults his convenience. Josiah began while ‘still young, sixteen years of age, to seek after the God of David his father. Happy is the man who cleanses his way by taking heed thereto according to God’s Word (Ps. 119:9). The time to seck God fs in early youth (Eccles. 12:1; 2 Tim, 3:15), The Lord will be found of those who seek him with all the heart (1 Ch. 28:9; 2 Ch. 15:2). At twenty years of age Josiah took up right heartily the work of religious reformation. He began with bis own city and nation, but carried on his work way into Manasseb, Ephraim, Simeon and even unto Naphtall. Heze- kiah carried his reform into Ephraim and Manasseh (2 Ch. 30:1, 10, 11; 31:1), but Josfah carried his reforma- Uon even farther and apparently more successfully (cf. 2 Kings 23:15-20). Josiah did not return to Jerusalem un- til he had finished his work. 2. The Restoration of the Temple, 813, It apparently took some years to carry out the work of reformation in the land. At twenty-six years of age Jostah undertook the restoration of the temple, The names of the men whom Josfah appointed as leaders in this work are worth noticing. They, and thelr sons, and grandsons figured in the future history of Israel. Some of their sons seem to have followed in the footsteps of thelr fathers, but some to have departed from them, in two cases very notably (cf. 2 K, 22:3, 12, 14; Jor. 26:24; 29:3, 36:10; 39:14; 40:11; Ezek, 8:11; Jer. 21:1; 29:21. 25). No one who really loves God can endure to see the house set apart for him lying In ruin, Contributions for the work had been gathered not only from Judah, Benjamin aud Jerusalem, but from Manasseh and Ephraim as well. It was a national undertaking. The godly king had associated with him the godly high priest Hilklah (rs. 14, 15, 18, 20, 22. The money was handed over to the workmen (¥. 10; cf, 2 K, 22:58). It was used rightly, to do the actual work. Altogether too often money which is given for one purpose in God’s work is actually used for another purpose. Walls and rafters of the temple had’ been re- moved (v. 11, R. V.) presumably in the introduction of the false gods and images into the temple (cf. ch. 3324-7, 22). The men did the work In the way that all who work for God ought to do thelr work, “faithfully,” so faith- fully that there was no need of any reckoning peing made with them (2 Kings 22:7). They did their work as unten the Lord and not a9 eve-gervants HOLLYHOCKS ON HATS. ‘There is nothing demure about, this season’s millinery, as witness the fact that hollyhocke, as well as sunflowers, are the new and important flowers to go on all kinds of hats, The holly- hocks are placed in an upright stalk at the aide of a high-crowned hat, in the same way we are now using straight wired plumes. __ ~|/POETRY J | ofand by Our People| | LOST AND FOUND, Lost.

THERE 2,000 SHOE STORES, 2,000 MILLINERY STORES AND 2,000 BANKS ARE NEEDED. Wilberforce, O.—The commencement exercises of Wilberforce University, better this year than ever before in the history of the school, came to a close with an address by Booker T. Washington that fairly took the audience off its feet. The occasion took the form of a memorial to the late Bishop Daniel A. Payne, perhaps in his lifetime Dr. Washington's closest friend in the early days of Tuskegee. More than 3,000 people were out to hear the leader talk of the character of the race's greatest churchman. Of this number almost one-third was made up of white friends from all sections of the state Dr. Washington took as the basis of his remarks a passage from the Scriptures: "The heavens were opened and I saw visions of God." He was never more eloquent, never more effective, and himself spoke with a vision, delivering doubtless the most important address he has made since the famous Atlanta speech. He was cheered time after time. He said in part: I am glad to be in the State of Ohio again and at the University of Wilberforce. I am,glad to have a part in the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the late Bishop Daniel A. Payne, founder of Wilberforce University and one of the leading spirits in the establishment of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. BISHOP PAYNE GREAT MAN. Bishop Payne was a great man, a man of character, a man of vision. It is impossible for any individual or any race to have any large degree of success without visions, without faith in the present and faith in the future. There is little room in this world for the pessimist; for the man who has no faith in the present or future. I repeat that Bishop Payne was a man of vision. We, as a race, must follow his example, and to be a race and to possess visions, we must believe in the present and future. Without faith in his race and in his country Bishop Payne never could have laid the foundations of Wilberforce university so securely as he did. I have little doubt but that way back in the dark days of slavery, when the foundations of this institution were laid, Bishop Payne pictured to himself even then the spacious grounds, the well-planned and well-equipped buildings, the industrial and academic departments of this institution, as they exist today in such flourishing condition. We have little doubt but that he pictured to himself that the day would come when on commencement occasions there would be gathered here thousands, as there are today, of the best types of white and black people representing the state of Ohio and nearly every section of our country. BISHOP PAYNEIS VISION BISHOP PAYNES VISION. I have little doubt but that Bishop Daniel A. Payne saw in a vision the time when there would be few in any part of America to rise and oppose the education of the negro, whether it be industrial education, academic education or professional education. I sometimes fear that we, as a race, do not rightly appreciate the advantages and opportunities which we enjoy in this country. Since the great bulk of our people, 9,000,000 at least, reside in the southern states, you must excuse me if I dwell a good deal on what I shall say upon the opportunities afforded our people in the southern states; opportunities for development in material, educational, professional and religious directions. In numbers, we constitute, as it were, a nation within ourselves. We are 10,000,000 strong. Canada has only 7,000,000 of people; Australia 4,000,000, Belgium 7,000,000 and Holland 5,000,000. The combined population of Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Denmark is about equal to the population of the black race in America. We must learn to use the strength of numbers and improve our condition. This means that we should cultivate in an increasing degree in every part of the country, pride of race. If there is any one human being whom I defest, it is the man or woman who is ashamed of the race to which he or she belongs; who is all the time trying to get away from the race; who would rather be a third rate white man than a first rate black man. The negro in America must learn to have as much pride in his race as the Frenchman or German or the Irishman has in his racial identity. There is a passage in the Scripture which reads something like this: "The heavens wer opened and I saw visions of God." I believe that the heavens are just as truly open today as they were thousands of years ago; that we can see visions of God just as truly as the prophets of old thousands of years ago, and we must begin to see these visions before it is too late. Let us open our eyes and see the visions that are in the south in the direction of opportunity for material advancement. The foreigners who are fast flocking into the southern states see these visions and the negro must see them or the time will come when he will be shut out from the many opportunities now offered him in the southland. We have a right by inheritance, a right by the labor of our forefathers to share in the riches of the south, and we must not let prejudice nor inconvenience frighten us away from sharing in this birthright of today. Two hundred million acres, or over fifty per cent. of the total land in the south is unimproved. There are about 1,000,000 acres in Alabama, 12,000,000 in Georgia, 5,000,000 in Louisiana, 6,000,000 in South Carolina and 100,000,000 in Texas that are unimproved. That means that there are 200,000,000 acres of land waiting to be cultivated; that means that this land at the present time is comparatively cheap and can be purchased by black man or white man, but it will not remain cheap long. In the past ten or fifteen years land values in the south have increased very rapidly. In some instances the increase has been from 100 to 500 per cent. Lands which fifteen years ago were selling at from $2.50 to $15 per acre are now selling at from $20 to $100 per acre. The wealth of the south has been increased by the rise in land values alone over $500,000,000. WOES OF LANDLESS RACE. While men from all parts of the world are seeing this opportunity and getting land. I want the negro to do the same thing, and I am glad to see that many of our best colored men throughout the south are seizing this opportunity and are buying large tracts of land. A landless race means a poverty-streiken race; a landless race means a dependent race with uncertain employment, one that lives by picking up odd jobs here and there; a landless race means a non-tax paying race, an unsettled race, a thriftless race. Everywhere let us encourage our people to enter into the possession of soil of this country, north and south. Throughout the south there are numerous organizations that work every day in the form of commercial clubs, farmers' clubs, clubs to promote manufacturing and clubs to promote merchandising, that have for their object the control and the development of the immense material possessions of the south. The negro everywhere must wake up and fellow the example of these organizations. OLD KING COTTON. Let me be a little more specific—the price of cotton is increasing in value every year. There is only a small territory, so far found, where cotton can be profitably produced. That territory is in our southern states. The black man can get this land. He can share in the immense profits of the future, in cotton growing. Cotton is being consumed in larger quantities every year throughout the world; that means an increase in price; that also means that it will be harder in the future to get cotton producing land than it is now. We must remember that the forces of nature draw no color line. Sunshine and rain are as helpful to the black hand that tills and owns the soil, as the white hand that tills and owns the soil. The history of the civilization of the world teaches that the people who own the soil are the people that are going to grow in independence, grow in education, grow in moral and religious strength. There are millions of acres of land in the south that can be purchased for cotton raising, for trucking, for daftrying and for fruit growing. There are millions of acres from which coal and iron can be gotten, from which lumber can be manufactured. All these are possibilities within the reach of the humblest black man in America. 200,000 FARMERS NEEDED. I know of no one influence, no one element that would add more to the independence and the progress of the 9,000,000 of negroes in the south, than for us to have, within the next 20 years, 100,000 to 200,000 more intelligent, successful, independent farmers scattered throughout this country; and these farmers should not be composed of the ignorant element of our race, but should be composed of the educated of our race. Our vision need not be limited to owning and cultivating the soil. There are great opportunities in the direction of manufacturing. Within the past twenty-five years, the cotton and manufacturing center of the country has moved from New England into North Carolina and South Carolina. It is not necessary for the negro to confine himself to the mere matter of cotton raising. He can advocate cotton manufacture in some form. The negro, both in this and other countries, is a great consumer of cotton goods. On a small scale, at least, he can become a manufacturer of cotton goods. Here is another field for the energetic, capable, pushing, educated colored man. Heretofore, in too large a degree, our educated men have felt that they must either teach or preach, and not enter the field of commerce. ON BECOMING MANUFACTURERS. The south is full of the best lumber suited for the manufacture, of all kinds of furniture. The lumber in its use is as free to the colored man as to the white man. We are great consumers of household furniture. Why should not our educated men begin the manufacture of furniture? If we could manufacture one tenth of the household furniture that we, as a race, consume, we would give employment to thousands of our men and women and add immensely to our wealth, improvement and usefulness. To indicate to you to what extent the white man is taking to the fact that within ten years Arkansas has increased her horse-advantage of the natural resources of the south. I have but to refer to the fact that within ten years, Arkansas has increased her horse-power for manufacturing 214 per cent; South Carolina has increased her horse-power for manufacturing purposes 220 per cent; Texas 250 per cent; Louisiana 619 per cent. There is vast water power in the south that can be used for manufacturing purposes. Everywhere in the south people are using water power for generating electricity. Examples of this can be found near Augusta, Ga.; near Columbus, Ga., on the Tallapoosa river, and near Montgomery, Ala. OPPORTUNITIES FOR MERCHANTS If we do not want to go into either agriculture or manufacturing there is a vast field open for the educated colored man in the direction of merchandising. With such a field open as we have in the direction of commerce in the south there is no reason why any intelligent, energetic and educated colored man need go about looking for a job. He can create a job for himself, and when one creates his own job, he gets into a position of power and independence, and is not dependent upon the whims of political parties or color prejudice. There are places in the south for 5,000 additional dry goods stores, and there are colored people enough to support these dry goods stores. In the south the negro merchant is not dependent upon the trade of his own race_alone, but throughout the south, while there is prejudice in other lines in business, the negro has little prejudice to contend with along this line. Not only the colored man trades at the colored man's dry goods store, but the best white people are not afraid to patronize a first-class dry goods store, and the same thing is true of other business enterprises owned and controlled by the colored people. LET US BUILD CITIES. There are openings in the south for at least 8,000 additional grocery stores, for 3,500 additional drug stores. There are openings in the south for 2,000 shoe stores, 2,000 millinery stores, and there are communities in the south where 2,000 additional negro banks can be opened and supported. Further than this, there are places in the south where, at least 75 self-governing, self-supporting and self-directing towns or cities may be established where the colored people can have their own mayor, their own board of aldermen, their own self-government from every point of view. In the last analysis, local self-government is the most precious kind of self-government. If none of these openings suit the ambition of our educated colored men and women, there is another field that is ripe for the harvest, that of education. There are a million and a half of negro children of school age who do not enter any school in the south, and there are hundreds of thousands of others who are in school only three months out of the twelve months. We need 30,000 additional schoolhouses built in the south, and we need, at least, 20,000 additional negro school teachers. But if the vision of the educated colored man cannot be realized in any of the callings to which I have referred, there are still further openings in the south. I refer to the opportunities in professional directions. There are individual locations in the South for it least 2,500 additional doctors and 3,000 additional pharmacists, 2,000 additional dentists, and 1,000 veterinary surgeons. DO NOT LOSE COURAGE. DO NOT LOSSE COURAGE. In the lines of religious activities and service, I want the young colored men and women to see the vision aside from the opportunities to preach the Gospel. Wherever in any communities there are 2,500 or more colored people they are capable of supporting a Y. M. C. A. building. There are 56 cities in the country, at least, where Y. M. C. A. buildings could be established and supported. We must not become discouraged by racial relations. True, we have prejudice to contend with in the south, as elsewhere. The color line is often unjustly drawn throughout the country. We have to endure injustice; we have to contend with injustice, but instead of letting prejudice discourage us, we should use it as a spur to urge us on to higher efforts, to renewed enterprise. FOUNDATION OF RACES. All races that have achieved success have come up through ownership of the soil, through cultivating the soil, through manufacturing, through merchandise, through making themselves strong in education, and in moral and religious directions; and lastly they have come up through fighting prejudice. Out of the fight they have gained a strength and an experience that they would not have gotten except for racial prejudice. JOHNSON TO BE PROVIDED FOR. Washington, D. C.-Mr. Joseph E. Johnson, for many years attached to the staff of the speaker of the house of representatives as stenographer and confidential clerk, tendred his resignation to Speaker Clark. He is conceded to be one of the best in the business, and a strong effort was made by the broader-minded Democrats to have him retained on his merits. It is understood that Mr. Johnson is to be provided for handsomely under another branch of the government. He is too valuable a man to be permitted to be idle. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON HEADS DISTINGUISHED PARTY ON PLEASANT AND INSTRUc TIVE TRIP THROUGH MACON COUNTY, ALABAMA. Tuskegee, Ala.—Within the last two or three years Dr. Booker T. Washington has made quite a number of extended trips through various parts of Macon County, Ala., for the purpose of seeing for himself just what the colored people are doing and under what conditions they are doing it. It was just such a trip as this that Dr. Washington made through the southwestern portion of the county on Sunday, recently. He was accompanied by Judge R. H. Terrell and Hon. Whitfield McKinley, both of Washington, D. U.; Lord Eustace Percy of the British Embassy of Wahington; Mr. W. T. B. Williams, agent for the Anna Jeanes fund and Slater fund; Dr. Thomas J. Jones of the United States Census bureau, and Mr. George L. Knox, editor of the Indianapolis Freeman, as well as quite a number of the teachers and friends from Tuskegee. The first stop was made at the residence of Mr. Lott Ellington, a successful farmer, his house, yard, and garden were all inspected and found to be in almost perfect condition. The next stop was at Fort Hull, where much to the surprise as well as to the delight of some of the members of the party, as it was generally understood that breakfast would be served at another place, Mr. Morgan Russell, a successful white farmer in that section, had prepared quite an elaborate breakfast; after eating the party then went to the little church, which was only a few paces from the tables where a very short meeting was held. Leaving here the next stop was Mt. Andrews community: however, it might be well to mention the fact that just before reaching this community a mounted committee met the party, and one of the most unique scenes of the whole trip were the four members of the committee who were on oxen which were saddled and bridled. In the Mt. Andrews Community church was an excellent exhibit of the Farmers' Improvement club. The object of these clubs, which are scattered throughout the various communities, is to decide how they can meet the conditions that would naturally confront one living in the country. This exhibit consisted of vegetables, fruit, and several kinds of meats all grown on their land. The majority of the homes occupied by these people were all whitewashed and painted. In the course of his remarks here Dr. Washington said that people could not go through a community without being encouraged. "Here in Macon county you have good land that will grow abundant crops. You have a good citizenship here and there is every opportunity for you to make this a little heaven right down here on earth. Therefore get some land and cultivate it." The party then proceeded to Liberty Hill, where a brief stop was made. It might be well to mention that the people in this community own between twelve and fifteen thousand acres of land. After one or two speeches the members of the party proceeded to Mt. Pisgah. They were met by a large crowd, headed by the Farmers' Improvement club. In the schoolhouse the visitors found all kinds of vegetables and sewing, and were informed that the colored people owned over two thousand acres of land and quite a large herd of live stock. Dr. Washington urged the people to get hold of land and keep it, to do better farming, and grow something else besides cotton. He also made reference to what is known as "Draw Saturday," urging the people to get out of the habit of going to town every Saturday purposely to draw from the merchants, when they had the opportunity to draw from the soil every day such things as oorn, peas, and almost every other kind of vegetables. He laid special stress upon the importance of making the home more comfortable. The party then set for Hardaway and found about three thousand people waiting. At this place was found one of the neatest and most up-to-date school houses in n. county. After a number of plantation melodies had been sung Dr. Washington and Judge Terrell made short addresses, both complimenting the people upon their beautiful church and schoolhouse, and also their farms and whitewashed homes. The next stop was at Sambo where again Dr. Washington and Judge Terrell spoke. Any one who had the good fortune of going on this trip would feel safe in saying that here he found without a doubt the best farms and school in the entire county. This community had what is known as a model school, consisting of a bedroom, dining room, kitchen, and a very neat school room. The colored people of the community own about eight hundred acres of land. Sambo was the farthest point on the trip and here the return home was begun. However, before reaching home stops were made at the following places, where short speeches were delivered: Egypt, Sweet Gum, Russell Plantation and St. Mark. This was the longest trip of its kind ever taken by Dr. Washington and in more ways than one very interesting, and it is expected that it will have great effect on all who had the pleasure of hearing him. The Farm SOWING AND CULTIVATING RAPE. Is washed away. In either case fairly deep plowing is to be recommended Rape is commonly sown either broadcast or in rows, about thirty inches apart, and cultivated. I like the row system the better. When it is sown broadcast alone, it is put in at the rate of five pounds of rape seed per acre of the Dwarf Essex variety; allowed to grow until it is about fourteen inches high, and then pastured down with pigs or sheep as the grower may desire. It is advisable to have two pasture lots of it, so that the stock can be changed to a fresh one, while the one which has been fed down until the stalks are about five inches high and no leaves remain on them can grow up again. It will take a very short while for it to throw out new leaves and be as heavy a growth as it was before it was pastured down. Where it is sown in drill rows and cultivated, three pounds of seed per acre is sufficient. It is cultivated, as corn or potatoes would be until it is so that it shades the ground completely between the rows. Rape will stand a vast amount of stable manure and gives a surprising growth of green feed. It is excellent for growing pigs and for brood sows and their litters. It is frequently sown in a mixture with field peas, barley and millet. It is the only one of the list of plants that will grow up after being fed the first time, it springs up and supplies a vast amount of forage after the other plants have once been fed down and while it makes a rather quick growth after it is pastured off and give it a chance to grow without being crowded. Rape is also frequently sown with the ordinary grain crops. They dwarf it down until it is very small and sickly looking until after the grain is harvested. After harvest it springs up in the stubble and supplies large amount of fall pasture. In a few wet places where the ground is very rich, it will grow up enough to be caught in the ends of the sheaves, but seldom enough to trouble the curing of the wheat in the shock. It has a very severe bloating effect on cattle and sheep and they must be very gradually accustomed to it before they can be allowed to pasture on it as long as they would naturally do. When it is damp with dew or light rain, it causes bloating to be very much worse and to come on more quickly. They can gradually be accustomed to it as they are to clover and alfalfa, so that it will do them no harm. It causes no trouble when feeding pigs or horses on it.—J. H. Shepperd. PLANT SOY BEANS AND COWPEAS TOGETHER. We have tried different methods of seeding the crop and this year sowed our entire acreage in two-foot rows (where designed for hay), using eight quarts of Mammoth soy beans and the same amount of Wonderful peas per acre, drilling them with our two-row corn planter (four feet) and doubling the rows. We like this method of seeding on good soil, as the planter, being equipped with depth-regulating guards and levers, puts the seed at exactly the depth we wish it to be planted. This is important with the soy, as if the seed are planted too deep they will not come up evenly, if at all. We prepared a very fine seed-bed, planted the seed as stated above, then rolled the land with the big roller, giving no further cultivation. The soys growing upright hold the peas up off the land, making a clean job of cutting with the mower possible. By the middle of July the peas almost covered the spaces between the rows, so it was impossible for much crab-grass to grow, and what did grow was really a benefit to the hay, balancing the feed and seed more heavily than the peas and beans less troublesome. The soys sown broadcast with the peas in the corn fields make splendid pig feed, as they seed more heavily than the peas and are not so soon injured with the wet weather in the fall. No hay we have ever raised is so much relished by cattle, sheep and horses. Many a time have I seen our horses go to the hay racks for the soy bean hay before consuming their corn, and, by the way, I don't know a better or cheaper feed for work horses than this combination, corn and soy bean hay. We like to use the late-maturing peas, such as the Wonderful or Clay, to go with the Mammoth Yellow beans, as they mature together. We cut the crop when the beans in the pods are about half grown.—A. L. French, in Raleigh (N. C.) Progressive Farmer. FALL OR SPRING PLOWING. As to whether or not fall or spring breaking should be practiced, 'each farmer must decide this for himself after a study of his own land. Level ground or gently rolling farms may be plowed with good results in the fall. Such a practice not only allows the winter to act on the soil, but saves a great deal of time in the spring. However, lands which are rolling to hilly should not be fall plowed, because erosion takes away a great deal of the fine dirt, deep washes are cut, and the plant food which is available in late fall and early spring Is washed away. In either case fairly deep plowing is to be recommended. On the average six inches is about right. This allows the ground to be broken-down to about the average depth of the majority of corn roots, so gives them their best chance for growth. In cases where farms have been poorly managed and shallow plowing has been practiced, it is not advisable to plow this deep all at once. Not more than one inch of unweathered soil should be turned up in a single season, but the seed bed should be deepened gradually as the rotation goes around.—Missouri Experiment Station. THE POTATO FIELD. There is no work on the farm that will pay larger and more certain profits than frequent cultivation of the potato field before planting time. All of the weed seeds that may have germinated will be destroyed and a better capillary attraction of moisture is established with the sub-soil. The frequent working of this soil will make considerable plant food available and the young plants will take on a more vigorous and rapid early growth. We make a practice of rolling our potato field as soon as it is plowed and going ever lengthwise of the furrow with a light harrow so that the interspaces between the furrow may become filled with loose soil to prevent the evaporation of moisture. After the field has lain a few days the sods are cut with a disk harrow both ways and the field harrowed with a common spring tooth harrow until the seedbed is established. Much of the subsequent labor required to care for a crop of potatoes may be avoided when the ground has thorough and careful preparation before the crop is planted. We grow better tubers when we plant in check rows and cultivate both ways. The yield is slightly smaller, but the tubers are more uniform and will grade better when marketed. There is little real economy in planting small potatoes for seed, although some years they will produce fairly good crops of potatoes. OATS AS A FOOD. While corn and wheat are fed more frequently to fowls than oats, yet during the warm months and as a change of grain diet in the winter nothing is better than oats. Keep a box of oats just inside the hen house door, that the fowls may help themselves whenever disposed. Have no fear of feeding too many, for they never gorge themselves with oats as they will with corn. Sometimes they grow tired of them, though, and seem hungering for a change of food. Then remove the oats from them for a few days at a time, throw them a little wheat in the morning and whatever you deem advisable just as they are going on the roost at night, and the result of this watchfulness is a good supply of eggs. Ground oats are excellent at all times. When the hens are fat give them no grain but whole oats, and make them scratch for them. TIME TO WATER HORSES. Many have argued for wafering after feeding, and a larger number have been positive in teaching that the water should be given before feeding; but experiments have been sufficiently extensive to make it pretty certain that it matters but little when the horse gets his water, as related to the time of feeding. That is, he may be watered before or after feeding, as is most convenient, and it may sometimes be best to water both before and after feeding. The two points of importance are that (1) he gets his water often enough and (2) that he gets its regularly, without sudden changes. Whatever habit of watering is established, it should be strictly adhered to—Tait Butler, in Raleigh (N. C.) Progressive Farmer. PICKED UP IN THE ORCHARD. The foolish man plants his orchard on low ground and the wise man seeks the hills. Nothing grown on the farm pays better for the care bestowed upon it than the orchard. Cut out the useless brush in your old trees and give the sun a chance to reach every part of them. When the fruit buds come very thick most people take it as a sign of a big yield, but when fruit grows too thickly it must necessarily be very small. As a rule sheep do no harm in the old orchard, but they should not be allowed to have access to the young trees. Are there any old apple trees in your orchard bearing undesirable fruit? Easy to graft good varieties upon them. We never could see the wisdom on allowing the hogs to run in the orchard unless it is in cow peas on clover pasture. Of course, the fruit must have more or less shade, but nature will take care of that after intelligent pruning has been done.

His last letter whs dated Flagstaff, Ariz. and is as follows: “I leave here tomorrow for Navajo mountain. There is only one man who knows the trail and his name is Wetherall. He lives in the Painted Desert about 200 miles out and his place is the last trading post. I have an old timer—in fact, a ‘forty-niner) to take me out to Tuba, Oraibi, Red lake and then on to Wetherall’s. From. there the couniry is exceeding- ly barren and wild. In fact, my guide says it is the wildest country left in the United States. Two years ago a geological survey man got a Navajo to take him to this moun- tain and this trip resulted in the dis- covery of the wonderful natural bridge that the Navajos worship. Since then only two or three frayel- ers haye undertaken the journey. So I expect a hard but wonderful trip. I hope to get out in » month or sis weeks—Harper’s Weekly. J. B. YEATS’ STUDY IN BOYS In treland They Like Them Bright and Send the Dull Ones to Eng- Jand, To Harper’s Weekly J. B. Yeats contributes a delightful article upon the Irish boy, contrasted with the Englishman’s son. “The overwhelm- ing majority of Irish families are poor, ambitious and intellectual,” writes this author, “and all. have ‘the national habit, once indigenous ‘in ‘Merry England, of much con- versation. In modern England’ they ‘like a dull man and 60 they like_a dull boy. We like bright men and bright boys. When there is a dull boy we send him to England and put him into business where he may sink or swim, and he generally swims; but a bright boy is a different story. Quickly he becomes the family confi- dant, learning all about the family necessities; with sf much frank con- versation it cannot be otherwise. He knows every detail in the school bills and what it will cost to put him through the university . . . as he ‘grows older he watches, like an expert, the younger brothers coming on and is eager to advise in his young wisdom as to their prospects.” AND PROUD OF HIS FEAT? Frank Emerson is the-owner of a pair of shoés which he has had for 23 years and whiclt are in good order at present and have been worn by him every day, There has not been a year in the twenty-three in which Mr. Emerson has not worn this re- markable‘pair of shoes. He first wore the shoes on Sun- days only, and even reckoning that he had worn them on Sunday only for the entire 23 years he would have worn them every day for three years and 101 days. The shoes were orig- inally of the side elastic type, but a short time ago Mr. Emerson had them made into laced _‘shoes,—Skow- hegan Letter to the Kennebec Jour- nal. : THE GENESIS OF 0. K.

It was Walter’s first experience, and he was much more enraged than subdued by the fall his pride suf- fered in the premises. The ordeal over, he turned to his father with flashing eyes and sobbed: “All right for you, dad, but I want you dis tinctly to understand that you ‘are not my mother!” .

Crime in the land of the chryanthe mum is almost. limited to theft and tragedies, or serious_cases of bodily han resulting from street brawls. It is next to impossible, the chief of the Tokyo police says, for a murder to be committed without some one hearing of it at the moment. This is due to the fact that the houses are composed of paper and bamboo, sa any noise in a house occasioned by robbers or assassins would not fail to.attract the attention of neighbors.

The mere suggestion that it is not interesting enough for copy nearly causes a relapse, As an incentive to recovery I ate tried my literary skill on several cases that contained not one sensational feature from a scientific standpoint. “The patients were pretty sick, of course, and thought they were going to die. Over and over I assured them that they had a straight attack of fever or stomach trouble without complications, but they were con- vinced I was only putting it mildly to keep from scaring them to death.

Since the season opened last fall he has bought furs as follows: Fifty thousand muskrats, 10,000 skunks, 500 raccoons, 600 minks, 300 red foxes, 500 ermine, which make a total of over 60,000 skins. Undoubt- edly this does not represent the ene tire catch, for there are probably other dealers—Newark (N. Y.) Union-Gazette. * PRIMITIVE TELEGRAPHY. An amusing story of reckoning by notches comes from Preston, Eng- land. The other day a North Coun- try cattle dealer entered a telegraph office and handed a telegram which consisted, besides the address, of eight strokes, The clerk inquired if these were meant for figures, “Call them figures or whatever you like,” said the sender, “so that they come ut the same at the other end, and Pl tell you why. That telegram is going to my housekeeper. She can’t read or write a word, but when the telegram reaches her she’ll count the strokes, and understand that I shell be home at eight o'clock tonight.” / PLEASANT COMPARISON. “Bob” Davis, who is editor of ‘Munsey’s Megazine and the author of several plays, is the possessor of a sense of humor and a power of ex- pression ithat is frequently pictur- esque., Speaking of a man who had achieved some distinction as a kill- joy said: “That fellow is a great athlete.
