VOLUME XXVI. ARSON TO HIDE TRIPLE CRIME Farmer, Wife, and Son Are Slain and Burned. A SON IS PLACED IN JAIL. Mr. and Mr. Lee Killed With Hammer and Young Son Shot While They Slept—Doors Bolted and House Set Afire. Boonville, Ind.—A triple murder was committed in Boonville. Richard Lee and his wife and their 17-year-old son, Clarence, were killed in their beds with a hammer and the house set on fire. The house was discovered on fire at 4.30 o'clock Thursday morning and by the time firemen reached it, was blazing from all sides. Trying to enter, they found that all the doors and windows were locked. Breaking down the doors, the firemen found the incinerated bodies of Lee, his wife and his boy. Examination of the bodies resulted in the discovery that the skulls of the father and mother had been crushed in with a hammer, while they were lying in bed asleep. The 17-year-old boy had been shot. Robbery, it is believed, was the motive. It is known that the Lee family, consisting of the father and mother and two children, had sold a small piece of property in Newburg and divided up the money between them. The mother and father and younger boy took their money and went back to their home in Boonville. The older son, William Lee, who is 21 years old, remained in Newburg and then returned to Boonville after his family had gone to bed. William Lee was arrested by the sheriff of Warrick county on the charge of murdering the other members of the family. William Lee, it is said, ran out of the home at the time of the fire, fully dressed and spread the alarm. He claimed at the time of his arrest that he was awakened by the blaze and barely escaped with his life, not having had time to rescue his parents and brother. Information also came out that Lee and his father had quarreled frequently over money matters. William, the son who is now in the Warwick county jail, was engaged to wed Miss Myra Taylor, of Newburg, daughter of a wealthy farmer, and the nuptials were to have taken place Thursday. Insurance policies amounting to $5,000 were found on the lives of Richard Lee, the father, and his son, Clarence, both victims of the tragedy. MINERSHAULED THROUGH FIRE Seven Killed and Three Mortally Hurt in Dissaster. Ely, Nev.—Of 10 men who were working at the 1,400-foot level of the new five-compartment shaft of the Giroux Cousolidated Mines, when it caught fire Wednesday night, seven are dead and three lie at the point of death after passing through the flames to reach the surface. The men on the 1,400-foot level heard a noise which they thought was caused by an explosion. They looked up and saw the shaft in flames. They at once boarded the cage and started for the surface, but encountered the flames at the 1,200-foot level and stopped. Five men left the cage and started to walk through the 1,200-foot level to the old Alpha shaft, 700 feet away, through which they hoped to climb out of the mine. The five remaining in the cage gave the signal to hoist and were pulled through the blazing shaft. One was dead when the top was reached and the four others were badly burned. Rescue of the men remaining in the mine was then attempted through the Alpha shaft. At the 400-foot level one was found dead; another body was recovered at the 600-foot level; a third may lay dead at the bulkhead, but two men were not found and are still in the burning mine. This is the same mine in which three and a half years ago two men were killed and four others entombed for 46 days on the 1,000-foot level of the Alpha shaft. Wraps Himself In Flag. Kingston, Jam.—More Haytien exiles, some of them unfriendly to President Leconte, are arriving here. One of them, an adherent of former President Simon, was obliged to wring himself in a Spanish flag to expose the violence of a mob that assassinated him as he was about to leave Harri. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1911. THE FARMER HONORS FOR MAINE VICTIMS Battleship to Carry Dead Seamen of the Maine--Taft Objects to Collier. Washington.—President Taft Saturday issued orders that the bones of all enlisted men recovered from the battleship Maine should be brought from Havana to the United States on a battleship. The President read a dispatch from Havana stating that the bones of enlisted men lately recovered from the Maine would be carried to the United States on a collier. The President takes the position that the enlisted men who went down with the Maine are entitled to all honor that the United States can give them. Although he did not know whether the Navy Department officially had directed a collier to be used for bringing back the bones of the sailors, he took prompt steps to prevent the issuance of such an order and made it certain that a battleship should be used. A few days ago the remains of Engineer Merrill, a commissioned officer of the Malne, had been brought to this country on the splendid battleship North Carolina, the ship which the Navy gave to Secretary of War Stimson on his tour to Panama and Cuba. Mr. Taft immediately resented the suggestion that his administration would permit any distinction in the honor shown to men who met death on the Malne, whether they died in the forecast or on the quarterdeck. To him they had all died under the flag and in their country's service, and the Navy Department was promptly instructed to bring the body of every man who died on the Malne, from officer to coal stoker, back to his country on a battleship, so that there will be no distinction in the reverent honors paid them. President Taft gave a splendid evidence of the regard he feels for the American who serves under the flag regardless of rank or station. It was Mr. Taft's insistence on legislation to honor the uniform that has resulted in laws which punish the snobbish managers of theaters or resorts who refuse admittance to men in their country's uniform, and it is by his direct order that the Department of Justice has instructed district attorneys all over the country to prosecute relentlessly any violation of these laws. Tobacco Crop Short Lexington, Ky.-The Burley tobacco crop of Kentucky, which last year was estimated to be 300,000,000 pounds, will not amount to more than 50,000,000 this year, it is believed. The great shortage is due to the worst drouth in thirty years, Hallstorms which recently damaged or destroyed two hundred growing crops, and the failure of hundreds of farmers who were members of the Burley Society to plant tobacco this year. on account of the large amount of the pooled crop of other years still unsold. Women Will Help McNamara. Washington.—Women and girls employed in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing will raise money for the assistance of John J. McNamara, secretary of the Structural Iron Workers' Union, now in jail at Los Angeles, Cal., charged with dynamiting the Los Angeles Times Building. The sympathies of the women were aroused by a speech made to them by Representative Frank Buchanan, of Chicago. Mr. Buchanan read a letter from McNamara in which the labor leader made the most emphatic denial of the charges against him that has been made public. BANDITS MUST RETURN LOOT Gen. Madero Issues Notices at Jojutla. Informs Lawbreakers They Must Return Stolen Property or Face Summary Court-martial and Probable Death Sentence. Cuautla, Morelos, Mexico.—That Francis I. Madero's method of restoring peace is not lacking in energy was indicated Wednesday when, as a result of his visit to Jojutla notices were posted stating that looters would be given just one day to return stolen property; that failure to do so would result in summary court martial and probable death sentence. In Joutila Madero investigated the work of the mobs whose members are said to have been bandits rather than Zapatistas. Most of the larger stores have been looted. Madero assured the citizens that the guilty ones would be severely punished. General Hernandez, a former revolutionary officer, is in command of the local garrison. After conferring with Modero Hernandez announced that drastic measures would be instituted. One looter caught in the act was shot. A number are imprisoned. At Ixtla Madero conferred with General Ambrosio Figueroa, who departed in pursuit of the bandits. MADERO VERSUS REYES. Former Mexican War Minister Accused of Torture. El Paso.—It is to be war to the finish between Francisco I. Madero and Gen. Bernardo Reyes, according to friends of Madero. They declare he gave Reyes a chance to return to Mexico and become a useful citizen, and that Reyes has been a traitor. Friends of Reyes declare that Madero is only jealous of the popularity of the form for war minister. Madero has thrown the challenge to the General and accuses him of treachery and of planning to have him shot in battle, to assure the success of Reyes in the presidential election. Returning from his trip of pacification in Morelos, where he went to urge the Zapatists revolters to lay down their arms, Madero says that while he cannot produce the evidence asked by President De La Barra of the treachery of Reyes, he has enough proof to satisfy himself. In the capital the people are saying that if Madero is elected President Reyes will have to leave the country again, as was the case when he became too popular for President Diaz or head a revolution against Madero for self-preservation. Another Victim of Mob's Franzy. Another Victim of Moh's Franzy. Another Victim Of Mob's Frenzy Purcell, Ok—While 2,000 men, women and children stood by shouting their approval, Peter Carter, a negro, who had been captured by three members of his own race and identified as the man who Wednesday night attacked Mrs. Minnie Spraggins, wife of a farmer, was burned to death on a brush pile in the main street of Purcell at 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Deputy Sheriff Hayes and Under Sheriff Farris, who attempted to rescue the negro from the crowd, were overpowered and locked in the court house. TAFT'S WESTERN TRIP Journey Will Rival "Swing Around Circuit" of 1909--Plans Are All Complete. Washington.—Plans for President Taft's coming trip through the West and to the Pacific Coast practically were completed Monday. The journey will be almost as extensive as that taken by the President on his famous "swing around the circle" in 1909, when he traveled more than thirteen thousand miles and visited thirty-three States. He will break ground for the Panama Canal Exposition at San Francisco, make several score of addresses and attempt to scale the fourteen thousand feet of Mount Ralner's precipitous slope. According to the present arrangement the President will be gone six weeks. In that time it is expected that he will make close to two hundred speeches, from platforms from the rear end of his private car and at other places not on the regular schedule. Until the question of adjournment of Congress was out of the way, the President was undecided as to whether he should be gone three weeks or six. With adjournment practically assured for this week the President feels that he can get three weeks rest at Beverly and be in trim then to stand the admittedly hard grind of forty days in a private car. The President probably will leave Beverly September 17, returning east about November 1. He will go west through Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, and Nevada to the coast. Most of the big cities in these States including Des Moines, Kansas City, Omaha, Denver and Salt Lake will be visited, but the plans for the trip contemplate stops at scores of smaller places as well. From California the President will go North to Portland and Seattle. Three days are to be passed in Washington State and the route eastward will allow him-to stop in Idaho, Montana, the Dakotas and Minnesota. While no "spellbinders" are to be taken along, it is probable that members of the cabinet or Congressmen will become traveling companions of the President at various points en route. Topics for the President's address will not be hard to find, the party leaders say. HARRY K. THAW NOT INSANE So He Declares In Answer to His Wife's Petition. Pittsburgh, Pa.—An answer was filed here by Harry K. Thaw through his attorney, former Governor William A. Stone, to the petition of his wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, in which Judge L. L. Davis was asked to appoint a lunacy commission to take charge of the income of Thaw in this State and provide for the support of the wife. Thaw's income is said to be $60,000 a year. Thaw claims that the verdict of the jury in New York State was not a finding that he was insane and that the decree confining him Matteawan was a statutory only and not a proceeding as to the lunacy of Thaw, He claims that the fact that he is still confined in the Matteawan Hospital, under the order of court, does not judicially or in any way establish his present insanity. The answer alleges that the petition asks the court to do what it has no authority to do. In the second part of the answer Thaw states: "Your affiant is not at present insane. He is quite capable of attending to his own affairs, and does attend to his own affairs. He transacts his own business. If there was ever any derangement mentally the affiant has entirely recovered from it, and is now in possession of all his mental faculties." JOKE ENDS IN TRAGEDY. Boy Tled to Cow By Playmates is Dragged to Death. Utica, N. Y.—Falling from a cow to which he had been tied by his playmates, Lewis Burns, the 7-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Burns, was dragged by the frightened animal around a field until he was dead, according to word just received here from Pulaski. Lewis, with his two sisters, 8 and 11 years old, went out to the pasture to take turns riding a cow that long has been a pet of the family. It was a sport the youngsters had enjoyed frequently during the summer vacation. The cow was gentle and had never tried to throw or harm the children while they were driving it around the field. Laughing merrily, Lewis started off on the ride. He had not gone far when the rope, began to slip. The boy tried to cling to the cow's back, but his hands slipped, over its hide, and he fell. This frightened the cow. It dashed off on a wild circuit of the pasture, dragging the boy along the ground. His skull was fractured, right arm and jaw broken and nearly all his clothing broken. He was dead when picked up. Takes Good Deal to Upset Chinaman's Nerves, but Plano Will Do the Job. The fascinations of an untrammeled life, in New York has lured other Chinese servants away from western families who had migrated with their retinue to New York, but John of the banker's family had remained faithful through two years of metropolitan temptations. At last he gave notice and refused to tell why. Finally the manager of an employment agency offered a solution of John's defection. "It is because your little girl has got big enough to practice on the piano," he said. "John can't stand that. A Chinaman hates a piano. It takes a good deal to upset Chinese nerves, but a piano is capable of completing the job most effectually. Heretofore there has been but little piano playing in your house; now that there is a prospect of several hours of practice every day John clears out. We have that trouble with all Chinese servants. There are many western families in New York who would like Chinese help, but as soon as an otherwise willing servant learns that there is a piano in the house he declines the job."—New York Sun. HOW BUTLER GAVE MESSAGE What Sir William Said and What Servi vant Told Reporter Quite Different. This is a story long well known in Fleet street: 'The late W. S. Gilbert was absolutely fearless; he could cross the Strand or punch a head with any man. He once collared a burglar in his own house and trussed him splendidly for the subsequent policeman. Next day a reporter from Fleet street called to interview him. The butler came to the door and carried the journalist's message in to Sir William, who roared out across the hall: "Tell the Daily — man to go to —" "The butler came back with a grave face, unconscious that Sir William's outburst had been overheard, and said: "'Sir William is extremely sorry, but he wishes me to state that extreme pressure of work precludes him from the pleasure of seeing you this morning.'" SUCCESSFUL WOMAN FARMER. Mrs. Hester B. Pinkham has a farm of 55 acres near Farmington, N. H., and is said to make more money on it than many men on the same number of acres. At the age of six she was getting up at five in the morning to milk the cows and when old enough she learned the shoemaking trade. Then she married and her husband's health failing, they rented a 20-acre farm, and she helped by keeping boarders. In six years she made $7,000, selling home-made bread, fruit, vegetables and other things. She is now forty-five years old, and her husband being dead, she does all the work, and is a splendid business woman. Her rule is to buy when other people have to sell. UNKINDLY CRITICISM. The late W. S. Gilbert's been known mot was about Hamlet. After a couple of days' absence from town he walked into the Savage club and somebody shouted a greeting: "Hullo, 'Gilbert—where've you been?' "I've been up to Birmingham to see Wilson Barrett as Hamlet," Gilbert replied. "The deuce you say; how was it?" asked his friend. "Oh, very funny—and not at all vulgar," was the answer. The Volunteers of America, with General Ballington and Mrs. Beech as leaders, have decided through their grand field council just held in Cleveland to appoint advisory boards of not fewer than five leading citizens of each city in which Volunteers have considerable philanthropic work. Sure Sign That Miss Amanda Lowry Was Going to Get Better: There were certain traits which distinguished Miss. Amanda Lowry from most of her neighbors, and although not all of them were admirable traits, they were Miss Amanda's, and therefore accepted lovingly by her friends. When she was taken suddenly ill with pneumonia, the village was in great distress. "I went in to see her just a minute," said a tearful friend, "and she scarcely looked at me. I don't think she really sensed I was there. But yet they say she's a mite better, if she can only get some strength into her. The fever's gone, but she lacks interest, she's so weak." A few days later, still tearful, but joyous, the same friend made a more encouraging report. "She looked at me, Amanda did, where I sat, way across the room, and then she beckoned to me. You go take a look at yourself in the glass," she said, 'and tell me if you're got your brooch on straight. It looks canted to the left, to me.' "And 'twas!" said the neighbor; wiping her eyes. "She could hardly speak above a whisper, but when I'd straightened it, she said, 'That's all right,' and turned over and went to sleep. She's going to get well!"—Youth's Companion. THESE GIRLS Tom—Here's the car Tillie—Oh, no; that's a real one. Tom—Well, that'll take us all right. Tillie—I know, but there'll be a blue one along soon, and blue is so much more becoming to me. PAPAL TRAIN TO BE RELIC The splendid papal train, the present of Napoleon III. to Pius IX. was brought the other night from the workshops at Florence where it has been undergoing repair, to Rome. The train, which consists of three carriages, forming a superb suite of rooms, including sleeping apartment, had, owing to long disuse, grown rusty in the springs and framework, and the rich fittings and ornamental woodwork were removed while it underwent a thorough overhauling. Everything is now restored in the original, and the train is the most luxurious specimen of rolling stock in the world. It is hardly likely, that a pope will ever travel in it, and it is to be transferred to the castle of St. Angelo, to enrich the museum of art and industry in that ancient fortress. REAL HOME OF THE JULEP. Kentucky has been designated as the home of the mint julep, and its temels have become famous all over. - Tomato Sauce.—One quart ripe tomatoes, thoroughly cooked and highly seasoned with butter, pepper, salt, cloves, allspice and parsley. When cooked, strain through a sleeve, add a little flour wet with cold water; boll five minutes. Serve with chops, croquettes and macaroni. Drawn Butter.—Two tablespoons flour, one-half cup butter, one pint boiling water. Work flour and butter together until creamy and gradually add the boiling water; stir constantly until it comes to a boll, but do not let it boll; take from the fire and serve. A tablespoon of lemon juice or one of chopped parsley gives an agreeable change. Gaper Sauce.—Make a butter sauce and stir into it one tablespoon of lemon juice, two of capers, and one of essence of anchovy. Mint Sauce.—Two tablespoons of chopped green mint, one tablespoon of powdered sugar, one-quarter pint of vinegar. Let stand one hour before using. TOMATO OMELET. Fry three slices of bacon crisp, remove it and in the same fat cook one slice onion until a light brown. Beat three eggs slightly with cayenne, add three tablespoonfuls of thick stewed tomato, the fried onions and the crisp bacon finely minced. Turn the bacon fat into a very smooth omelet or frying pan, pour in the egg mixture, and pick up the edges so the egg will all come in contact with the hot pan, fold it over, turn on a hot platter and serve at once. Many cooks use about a quarter teaspoonful of baking powder in the omelet—Journal of Agriculture. RED RASPBERRY SHORTCAKE. One quart of flour, one teaspoonful of salt, four teaspoonfuls of baking powder or one of soda and two of cream of tartar, one-half cup butter or lard; sift flour, add salt, work in the shortening, baking powder; lastly add milk enough to make good biscuit dough; bake in jelly cake tins. When done, split, butter and spread with at least a quart of berries, adding sugar and butter plentiful. I always crush a few berries with sugar and add last; set in over to heat berries a few moments and melt the butter. Whipped cream can be added if desired. BLACKBERRY SIRUP. Ifish the berries and strain the juice through a clean and well-scaled cake, then to each pound of juice add the pounds of (cane) loaf sugar, and it all together to a sipup, then strain while still hot through a felt bag. Most fruits can be made into a sipup in this way. COFFEE ICE CREAM. Pour the left-over coffee into a quart of milk, using a cupful of sugar, and then scald; cool and add one-half teaspoonful of vanilla, and freeze as for other creams. If a cupful of sweet cream is procurable, add it to the hot milk just before taking from the fire. GREEN GOOSEBERRY JAM. Allow one pound of loaf sugar to every pound of pickled fruit. Boll the sugar to/candy height—or five minutes after it is thoroughly dissolved—skimming carefully, then add the gooseberries, and 'boll them for three-quarters of an hour, stirring with a wooden spoon all the time. ASPARAGUS SAUCE. Asparagus sauce is more appetizing served with chops. Stew about a pound of tender heads in just sufficient water to cover them; when done drain off the water, cover with thick sweet cream and mash until smooth; add three teaspoonfuls of butter, salt and pepper to suit the taste. Simmer gently for a few minutes and serve hot. OLD-FASHIONED DAINTIES. In many homes coffee replaces tea in the five o'clock market, which tides over the long wait for lunch or til dinner. To some it tasteful, and, while it is not a drinking coffee between meals, or be more retiring is consider, defiance of the rules of health, there are' a many constitutions that are not the least affected by it. In any case, it is better to take simply a bread dalanty of some sort as an accompaniment to the coffee. Dalnties of this sort are: SELECTING HATCHING EGGS. The hens and pullets which have known the best record for the fall and winter should be selected and placed in a yard separate from the rest of the stock, and their eggs gathered and mayed for hatching out the future producing stock. By this manner of selecting eggs from the best layers for a year or two, the lazing qualities of the stock will be greatly increased and the stock will then make a profit to the owner over feed and care, detecting and breeding the best in the only way of improving. Agricultural Epitome. So rife is early summer with wedding and betrothal festivities that novel expressions of this delightful form of hospitality are constantly being sought by the hostess who feels that the services of a caterer are beyond her modest resources. Fortunately at this season the housewife may fill the double role of chef and florist, provided that the majority of edibles are of a nature to be prepared in advance, thus leaving the hostess leisure to arrange the flowers and give the finishing touches to the table. For such an occasion a charming motif may be selected from the fragrant, old-fashioned illacs or purple pansies used with the tender yellow and green of the honeysuckle. Use, if possible, the polished mahogany board without a cover, substituting filmy lace or drawnwork doilies, and place in the center a large French basket filled with the purple flowers, the high handle being twined with honeysuckle and tied with a huge bow of the fragrant vine on top. Radiate from this basket tiny streamers of pale green and purple ribbon to each cover, terminating with diminutive flower baskets, also filled with blossoms and of design similar to that in the center. The place cards may take the form of small glided slippers, each inscribed with the guest's name and date, and containing a little snapshot picture of the bride. Use tall silver candlesticks, with green candles, their shades of lavender crepe paper adorned with sprays of iliac or pansies, and fill the competitors with peeled radishes, stoned olives, salted nuts, violet-covered bonbons, wintergreen wafers and candied mint leaves. In planning the menu, serve as many homemade dainites as possible, as home cooking is always warmly appreciated, but adhere closely to early summer delicacies, which at this season of the year are abundant and inexpensive. The following menu is suggested as easily prepared in the home kitchen and quickly served: Grapefruit puree with violet syrup, bisque of asparagus, saltines, filet of chicken in aspic, shadroe salad, sandwiches, pistachio frozen pudding, bride's cake, confections, coffee. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. To keep white kid gloves from becoming yellow dust well with cornstarch and wrap in dark blue paper. Ordinary baking soda either in powder form or dissolved in a cupful of water will put out a small blaze immediately. Lemon juice and steam will take iron rust out of white goods. Soak goods stained with chocolate or cocoa in cold water before immersing in soapsuds. Use a weak solution of salt and water to wipe matting after the weekly sweeping. Save all peelings and cores from pineapples, stew gently for an hour with enough sugar to sweeten the juice and bottle. Good for sherbet, pudding sauces and fruit punch. OLD-FASHIONED CRULLERS. Beat one tablespoonful of butter and one cup of sugar to a cream. Add one whole egg and the yolk of another, beaten light; one cup, rich sweet milk, one teaspoonful of salt and three cups of pastry four sifted with two tablespoonfuls of baking powder. Flavor with cinnamon or nutmeg, cut in rings and fry in deep, hot fat. Do not put too many rings in the fat at once or they will absorb the grease. In removing them be careful not to pierce the cakes. Drop them in boiling water on the stove, remove instantly, drain on brown paper, and when almost dry roll in powdered sugar. THE HOME COMING. They say that John Nicholas Beffel, the poet, went away from home at a tender age and for a while wrote home growing letters about his prospects. The letters finally ceased. One cold evening when the snow was piling up in the main street of Seneca, Ill., the elder Beffel sat down to supper and looked dolefully at the vacant chair. But beneath his plate he found this note: "Dear Dad; Please meet me at the old bridge at midnight, and bring a blanket or a suit of clothes. I have a hat—John."—Success Magazine. CHERRY JAM. Take plucked and carefully sorted cherries, and to every pound allow one-half pound to three-quarters pound of sugar, according to taste and the dampness of the season; stone the fruit and boll carefully, stirring for half an hour; then add the sugar, boll and skim for another half hour, and just before it is done add some of the blanched and split kernels or a few drops of ratana. HOOPS AS GIFTS. Among the new wedding presents are embroidery hoops, the outer one of elver, the inner one of satin wood. These make unique gifts to the girl who does any kind of embroidery during the leisure summer hours. THE SAINT OF THE CLOIS TER AND THE SAINT OF THE HEARTH. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.—John 17:15. The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners.—Matthew 11:19. "No abstraction from the world, but protection from the evil. Our redemption is to be accomplished, not by changing our locality, but by changing the heart. Religion is not to drive us out of the world into an environment destitute 'of temptation, but to keep us in the world, that we may attain holiness amid temptation." We need to emphasize this, because there is a very widespread misunderstanding as to what consistent Christianity really is, and therefore a very general failure to try to live it. Because we have rather vague ideas of what a religious life ought to be, we are apt to picture it as a lofty ideal utterly beyond attainment by plain people like ourselves. And having so very lofty and unwordy a conception of it, we put it out of the realms of practical accomplishment and think no more about it. Isn't it a singular thing, for example, that those who reject the medieval theology nevertheless cling to the medieval idea of saintliness? We hardly think of a man as being a saint unless he is a man for whom this present world has no attraction or charm. He must not take even transient satisfaction in any pleasures except those that spring from worship for him everyday occupations are only hindrances to communion with God. He is very quiet and placid and subdued. If we are to be quite certain about his saintliness, he must be a little thin and pale, not too strong—certainly not bale and hearty and robust. Everybody knows the figure: the saint of the stained glass window, "with wasted form and transparent hands and thin, pale face and eyes heavy with tears or weary with watching." As a matter of fact, the "good" people we know who have come nearest that type are the ones we usually like to avoid as much as possible. We feel that: To live with the saints in heaven Is bliss and glory. To live with the saints on earth Is quite 'another story! We could not be that kind of a saint if we would, and we would not be if we could; and therefore we give up trying to be any kind of a saint at all. We make something of the same mistake in our conception of what a minister should be. We are a little bit shocked if he lacks a certain serenity of temper and aloofness of manner, a gentleness of speech, and perhaps a delicacy of physique. If he happens to be a man of another sort, with plenty of muscle and color, with a cheerful satisfaction in the pleasures of life, a man who loves to dine with his friends and eats his full share of the dinner, who lives a cheery family life, has hearty human friendships, has his likes and dislikes, has his little failings, too, but is withal very likable and very human—we wonder whether he has not missed his calling. Of course, he hasn't. He is a good minister of the religion of Jesus Christ. And without becoming stained-glass saints we can all of us, in the same way, become good servants of Jesus Christ. There is room for the saint of the counting house as well as for the saint of the cloister. We can be good without ceasing to be natural. Above all, we can be good without being miserable. We have so happy an example of that in the life of Jesus Christ himself. There is a great deal of truth in Renan's picture of our Lord, in its emphasts on his buoyancy of spirit, his eager delight in life, his frank and alert interest in the common affairs of common people, his love of nature, his animation, his thorough enjoyment of pleasant things. Some one has said that nobody who wanted a wedding to pass off cheerfully and pleasantly would have urged John the Baptist to be the chief guest, but it was the most natural thing in the world that Jesus should always have been welcome. He had a disposition, a manner, a temperament, full of joy and brightness and sunshine. Though life was very serious for him, and the shadows lengthened toward the end, and he was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, yet he never lost a healthy, hopeful, sane outlook on life. He always had friends, and one feels that he needed them, not simply that they needed him. He attracted men by his life as well as his teaching. People were never afraid of him. Some objected that he was too much of a "dinner out;" they called him a gluttonous man and a winebibber; but nevertheless in him wisdom was justified of her children. "Not that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from evil." It gives us the right idea of Christian holiness. It also leads us to right ideas about the Christian church. For a long time the church, preached a religion for the other world, not a religion for this. She tried to prepare men for death and forgot to prepare them for life. She spent all her time something men are in. In the read, the heads to cease, and the legs them need to look at anything through which the rear passed. But when Jesus was on earth it was his wish and purpose to make men happy now as well as hereafter. He made himself, therefore, the enemy of disease and death, of avarice and selfishness, of ignorance and poverty. He "went about doing good." The sight of sickness moved him. He did not like to see people hungry. He was interested in all that entered into the life of men here on this earth. He pointed men toward heaven; but he also gave them a taste of heaven here. He desired to save men—but to save them body, soul and spirit, not spirit only. That is the new lesson the church is learning—that she must be interested in man's life here as well as his life hereafter, in education and public schools, in political reform and social improvement, in men's clothes and food and wages, in the pleasures they have and the houses they live in. Christianity is interested in all that can make earth more like heaven, but as Jesus Christ was interested in bringing back into harmony with the beautiful Galilean country which he loved all the sad and sick and suffering folk whom he met in the way. And so the Christianity of today is a life of service. It has led men to build settlement houses and equip playground centers, and support hospitals and sanatoriums, and erect parish houses as well as churches, and hold classes in manual training and physical exercises as well as Bible classes and prayer meetings. If more and more of this charitable and institutional work has been taken up by societies and individuals outside of the church, it is because the world is becoming more Christian, not because the churches have altogether lost their grip. Yet all this work cannot be done through societies and organizations. Individuals must catch the new spirit of Christianity. If you have flowers yourself, you must see that some of them go to a sick neighbor. If you have a carriage or an automobile, you can lend the use of it some afternoon to make another's day cheerier. If you have money, you need not give it all away and flee to the cloister; you can stay in the world and use it—but if you are to be in the world and not of it, you will use a share (and a goodly share) of your wealth in personal, individual service for others. If you are in society, you need not stay away from dinners and social gatherings—rather, you should try to bring God's goodness and God's sunshine to the company. You can be a saint at the theater, the opera or the ball game. Your deliverance from sin to holiness is not to be effected by the removal of the body, but by the reinforcement of the soul.—Charles Fiske. DECORATIONS. Senator Beveridge, at a reception in Washington, smiled delightfully as an ambassador passed whose coat front was one blaze of decorations. "They look nice," said Senator Beveridge, "but, after all, they don't mean much." He laughed. "An actor," he resumed, "once played in a small German principality for a fortnight. The grand duke, to his disappointment, failed to decorate him. He mentioned this oversight at a court dinner to a chamberlain, and the next day he was sent for. "My friend," said the grand duke, handling the actor a box, "here is something to remember me by." "The overjoyed actor departed, but his cab had hardly gone ten yards when, ordering it to return again, the actor was once more ushed into the grand duke's presence. "Oh, sir,' he said, I had to drive back. There are two crosses in the box.' "Oh, no matter,' said the grand duke. 'Give the other to the cabman.' ONE HE OVERLOOKED. In the early ninetyes, when the Democratic party was split over Mr. Cleveland's policies, Col. John R. Fellows was one of a party on a coach ride from London to Brighton, in England. He sat next to an Englishman who had been to nearly all parts of the United States and was boasting of the superiority of English scenery over American. Colonel Fellows went into an argument with the Englishman and had him worsted, until the Englishman cried: "Well, even admitting-all that, you have no ruins in the United, States." "Good Lord, sir!" shouted Colonel Fellows, "have you never heard of the Democratic party?"—Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. IN THE LIGHT OF REASON. A farmer returning home late at night found a man standing beside the house with a lighted lantern in his hand. "What are you doing here?" he asked savagely, suspecting he had caught a criminal. For answer came a chuckle, and—"It's only me, zur." The farmer recognized John, his shepherd. "It's you, John, is it? What on earth are you doing here this time o' night?" Another chuckle, "I'm a-coortin" Ann, zur. "And so, you've come courting with a lantern. Why, I never took h an lantern when I courited your mistress." "No, sur, you' didn't sur," John chuckled. "We can all see you didn't sur"—Answear. THE DUAL-PURPOSE GOW NO BREED IDEAL FOR BOTH MILK AND BEEF. There is no dual-purpose breed that we can recommend to either farmers, dairymen or beef men, says Hoard's Dairyman. If it is a person's intention to produce milk, we have no hesitancy in saying that some one of the special dairy breeds should be chosen. If beef is desired, then some one of the beef breeds should be selected. The ideal beef cow is one that will produce more, lean enough milk to raise her calf, and a cow that will not do. this is not profitable to beef making. It is common to term such an animal dual-purpose. In a measure all animals are dual-purpose, and many dairy cows when fattened make fairly good beef, but beef making is incidental to their milk function, and no consideration should be taken of it except insofar as it has a direct bearing upon the animal's strength and constitution. We should look for a beef animal that will produce beef most economically, and what little milk it produces over and above that amount necessary to raise the calf should be considered entirely incidental. In other words, to attempt to buy an animal that is a capable dairy cow and a beef animal is impossible. At least we have never known of a herd to be bred successfully along these lines. Now and then there is an animal which may be termed very properly dual-purpose, but she seems to be a variation which is not easily perpetuated. EGG-BOUND. One reason for the hens or pullets becoming egg-bound is because they have become too fat during a long moulting period and the rest which followed. Frequent visits to the nest and coming off again without laying is a most pronounced symptom. There is also much swelling and inflammation around the vent, or the protusion of the egg-passage is a very serious indication. If the hen is not valuable it will be better to kill her, for the aliment is liable to recur. However, if you wish to attempt to cure, take the bird and push the protrusion into place with the finger, being careful that the hand is clean and the finger nail well pared; then with the finger try and find the egg. If the egg is soft, break the skin and take away. If hard it may sometimes be forced down. If it should be broken and all traces of shell removed. The inflamed parts will need an astringent to reduce the swelling. For this purpose a little alum and water poured into the vent or injected with a syringe is as good is any. \ The birds should be sparingly fed on simple food with a half teaspoonful of bromide of potassium added to a pint of drinking water. This will help to retard the laying and so hasten a cure—Farmers' Union Guide. LOW ROOSTS. The natural instinct of fowls is to hunt a high roosting place in order to be safe from animals that prowl about at night, but we should watch them carefully and see that they go to the house, where the roosts are low and where they are protected by wire screens in hot weather and doors in cold weather. They will go to the tops of the highest trees if permitted, but when flying down will often injure themselves. Bumble-foot and kindred troubles come from this source, and often serious damage is done. Bumble-foot, while not serious, will likely cause the hen to stop laying for a week or more, and may be the indirect cause of some other trouble. A roost should not be over 18 inches above the ground, and the floor should be earth. This is casily cleaned by removing a few inches of the earth and replacing it with fresh earth from the garden. All roosts should be on a level, so that the fowls will not fight for the high ones. —Home and Farm. LEG WEAKNESS. The only remedy for leg weakness trouble is to clean out the quarters and see that they are kept perfectly dry and properly ventilated. Change the ration from one rich in corn and formatting feeds to one that contains more protein. Give about a half teaspoonful of soda dissolved in each pint of drinking water and about a teaspoonful of common black pepper in the soft feed for each 30 little chicks. If the chicks have had the trouble for any length of time, no remedy will prove effective. CHICKEN CHAT. A hen which is in the best of condition has some surplus fat in her body. This means that her bodily wants have been supplied, and there is some food to spure. She has surplus energy. A very fat hen seldom lays well and a poor hen cannot lay well.—Farmers' Home Journal. CONTROLLING SOIL MOISTURE. It is generally thought that the necessity for irrigation in the United States exists only in the region west of the Mississippi river, but repeated crop failures in the east and successful farming in the west have called attention to the importance of controlling the moisture of soils rather than accepting the conditions as they exist. Professor Voorhees estimated the loss to the hay crop of New Jersey from the drought in May and early June of one year at $1,500,000, while small fruits and vegetables were even more seriously affected than the grasses. The records kept by him at the experiment station show that in years of abundant rainfall in April and May the yield of hay averaged 2.65 tons per acre. In another year it was but, a fraction over one ton, owing, to the deficiency of rainfall in April and May, at the low price of $10 a ton, a loss for the 25 acres of over $400. The yield of crimson clover forage in years of abundant rain was 8.5 tons per acre; in a drought the yield was but 5 tons, or in a good year the yield was 70 per cent greater. The deficiency in the rainfall at the critical period was alone responsible for this difference in yield. To show the frequency of severe droughts in Philadelphia from 1825 to 1895 (70 years) show that in 88 percent of the years there was a deficiency of over 1 inch for one month, or that in 62 years out of the 70 there was one month in the growing season from April to August in which such a marked deficiency occurred as to cause a serious shortage of crop, and that for the same period there were 39 years in which the deficiency extended throughout two months, while in 21 years it extended throughout three months, or in 30 per cent of the years included in this period there were three months during the growing period in which the average rainfall was deficient one inch or more. It is thus observed that a wide series of crops would be likely to suffer in more than one-half of the years for which the record is available, while a still larger number would suffer in nearly one-third of the years, for it must be remembered that even a slight deficiency in one month may result in serious reduction in yield, and consequent loss if it occurs at a time when the crop is making its largest development." BEES AND FRUIT. The importance of thorough pollenization of fruit blossoms becomes more clearly apparent as we have more experience and learn more carefully to observe results. While some varieties of fruit are usually self-fertile, others are usually barren if planted alone, according to a Pennsylvania authority writing to the New York Tribune. Some seasons are very unfavorable for both the formation and distribution of pollen, owing mainly to cold or rain. Sometimes aphis or other pests prey upon the blossoms and interfere with pollenization. Among insecta bees are the most reliable carriers and distributors of pollen. If the colonies are strong and are located near the fruit trees there are very few seasons so unfavorable that the bees will fall to more enough pollen to pollenize a large majority of blossoms thoroughly and strongly. The winds are often insufficient. When well pollinated the young fruit will grow strong and resist successfully weather, insect and fungal injuries, while the same injuries would destroy the crop imperfectly pollinated. Experience has shown that one good hive of bees for each acre of orchard in full bearing is needed for best orchard results, though it may be more than the beekeeper in his experience would find profitable.—Farmer's and Drover's Journal. SOME MILK AND BUTTER. During the month of April Mrs. W. A. Walker of Breckenridge county, Ky., sold milk and butter to the amount of $15.60, according to an exchange published at Hardinsburg. This was from one cow and is the proceeds of what was sold after furnishing a family of five milk drinkers. The question of whether or not it pays to keep a cow is decided when you can sell $15.60 worth of milk and butter and have plenty at home. This is a pretty good record for one little Jersey cow, isn't it—Inland Farmer. FRESH AIR FOR HORSES. Plenty of fresh air should be admitted to the horse stable during the summer. With windows open the animals will have good air while standing up, but when lying down on warm nights the lower part of the stable may be uncomfortably warm and the horses suffer accordingly. By having one or two horizontal bars resting in brackets or mortises across the opening, the door may be left open at any time and the horses remain loops in the stable. When a coat is to be retained, in the stable and the door left open, three bars across the opening may be used. Bs ue * 3 * - “ SS SRS othe Ae ee as Pe eae 6 > re ee ee eS RES eS ee ‘gE ce - * a ey.

Following the debarkation of Simon there was an attempt to pillage the business house of Makbloutt & Co. the |propristors of which are Syrians, The attempt was put down by forces under the direction of the committee of pub- lic safety, and four of the rioters were shot on the spot.

The storm was one of the most terrific in the history of the city and it was through the kindness of Providence that so little damage was done to the houses and that there was no loss of life in the city. The greatest loss was suffered by the parks in which some of the most beautiful trees in the city were destroyed. Our parks have been praised on every side for their beauty and it will be years before they recover from the damage done. It is reported that the wind at times reached a velocity of over ninety miles a hour and from this one might imagine how fortunate we were in getting through the storm as lightly as we did. Other hurricanes of less wind velocity have caused much greater damage and we can easily look upon this one as rather mild though sufficiently severe to satisfy us for years to come. It is with much pleasure that we note in the New York Independent that the best speech made at the First Universal Race Congress lately concluded in London, England, was that of Doctor W. E. Burghardt DuBois. We felt certain when he was appointed to represent the American Negro that no better selection could have been made for we knew he would give the true conditions of the race in America, and would present them before the Conference in an able and acceptable manner. His long experience in sociological work has given him an insight which but few others have. He is a most careful compiler of facts and statistics on the race question, and at the same time conservative and fearless. His work along this line at the Atlanta University Conferences has given him national recognition. Doctor DuBois is probably the most capable man of the race. His suavity of manner is such as would gain him easy entrance into any society however high and refined and he was personally shown marked attention by the most noted men and women of the Conference. His account of the various gatherings at this great Conference and also his poem, A Hymn to the Peoples, published in the New York Independent are highly interesting. It is but a little over one month since the city awoke one morning to find herself confronted with one of the most cold blooded, dastardly crimes in the history of Chatham County. This was the murder of Mr. J. H. Turner, the prosperous Negro automobile hackman, which occurred at Monteith on the night of the thirty-first of July when he was driving two white men on the road. The next day the finding on the road near Monteith of pieces of human flesh, together with a bloody hammer, a shoe, a hat and bits of blood stained paper gave the first intimation that a crime had been committed. The day following this an automobile was disposed of at Oliver, Ga. In the mean time the disappearance of J. H. Turner from the city was confirmed by authorities and was made into the armed of the disposed automobile at but must after parent, but rules work they hit upon the right trail and that murders, world located one in Decatur, Ala., the other in Detroit, Mich. Meanwhile the citizens in general had almost despaired of ever finding the murders and perhaps the murderers themselves felt safe. Little did they think that the infinitessimal clues would result in their capture. The county and city authorities certainly deserve great credit for the commendable manner in which they have handled the case from start to finish. Their efforts to apprehend the murders have been untiring. They have spared neither pains nor money and could have done no more faithful and conscientious work had the murdered man been of their own race. They have not been prompted by the desire for large pecuniary reward for had that been the case the murderers doubtless would still be at large. Private detectives at great cost could not have handled the case more skilfully and all lovers of justice are proud that our city and county possess officers of this character. No other part of the country, either North or South could claim officers more efficient and honest in discharge of their duties. And the Negroes of Chatham County feel doubly grateful for their work. This but furnishes another cause for the boast of the Negroes of this county that they are probably safer in their surroundings than in any other place in the United States. The case, beyond a doubt, will be brought to trial here as it is generally believed that the murder occurred at Monteith, which is in this county. In this event no anxiety need be felt that the murderers will get their just deserts and that justice will be speedily dealt out. charge uncle, he is invited by said lodge. This ruling is in accordance with the decisions, his committee, volume one, pages 1251 and 86. The circulars sent out by Ben stalting that the women's bureau of endowment was merged, into the men's bureau of endowment is incorrect. The motion never did pass the District Grand Household. In fact the negative side howled the measure down but Johnson, a ring man, being in the chair and ready to grab the sisters' little fund that some of them have washed and ironed so hard for, pronounced it passed, and that the two endowments were thus merged. Then I rose up and called for a division, the same being overruled by him. Every time some of the executive committee want to carry some of their dirty and corruptible plans they send to the north and get some one to help them do so at our expense. Sisters and brothers, your men and women right here in the grand state of Georgia are as capable as any in the north to attend to our own business in the Odd Fellows and Ruth. You Odd Fellows have bowed in submission long enough to the autocratic rule which has been going on in our order. The powers that be have even gone so far as to send to all parts of the country to assist them in violating the present laws and passing new ones. Houston two years ago was sent for by Ben after having violated the endowment laws by taking from the endowment fund twenty two thousand dollars for purchasing a lot for the order. A Graves and Ben had a dispute about the money they had held back. I suppose when the time had arrived to divide the spoils Ben wanted the largest portion and Graves failed to agree Ben turned state's evidence against Graves for stealing our money. The reason Ben reported Graves has never been known and never will be. Again Brother Odd Fellows how long will we allow Ben to take advantage of our wives, mothers and sisters? Look at Ben's criticism in the District Grand Household about Sister Fortune's report because the endowment money and the taxes and all other revenues were together. Ben's contention was that she had no right to have all together because the endowment money was to be spent for no other purpose except to be paid in death benefits. Ben ought to understand that even if she did have all monies together she has brought to us all that we were entitled to. Ben, you should have thought carefully of yourself before you had spoken because when you had taken our $22,000 without our consent. It was the same laws that were in vogue then as now and were made to prohibit you from violating them as any body else and Sister Fortune was and is to be commended for the manner in which she has conducted her department. This is true of her coworkers in the household. There are two faults that some of the executive committee have found, with Sister Barnes and Sister Fortune and they are that they are too honest and that they cannot be drawn from the straight and narrow path. Sister Fortune, you are our District M. N.G. No laws passed by the District Household shall be effective before it shall have been approved by the sub-committee and please do not sign any order on the treasury to turn over one cent of our wives and children's money to Ben. We are incorporated under the laws of the United States of America Ben has proclaimed himself Chief Justice of the court of equity in this country. Sisters and brothers do you remember sometime ago when I put you on notice that Ben was running his candidate only to consolidate the two officers. After having failed to elect his candidate, he proclaimed himself boss over our wives' money. I knew a good many men were against Ben's stand but they have said that they were afraid Ben would cancel their policies. As for myself I am not afraid of that because I am a man and can secure my rights among all men for I consider myself a man among men and fully capable of taking care of myself on all occasions. Brothers and sisters let us all be true to ourselves in this matter and assert our rights, favoring none and fearing of no man so long as we are in the right. Yours in F. L. and T. Yours in F.

The mystery surrounding the murder of Mr. J.-H. Turner, the popular automobile hackman restaurant and lodging house proprietor, which took place on the thirty-first of July near Monteith, Ga. is now solved and the murderers are in the hands of the law. Mr. Turner met his death while he was driving these two white men are who, under arrest, on the road and was struck on the back of the head with a hammer which together with a hat, a shoe and some bloody paper were found in the road and were the only evidence the officers had to work on. Two days later Mr. Turner's car was disposed of in Oliver, Ga., by the two men for one hundred dollars. A week after the murder Mr. Turner's body was found in a well at Springfield wrapped in a sack. The authorities followed clue after clue and finally the crime was fixed on Hugh Boggs and Floyd Worley who occupied the machine at the time of the unfortunate man's death. Boggs was located at his home in Decatur, Ala., and Worley was arrested, in Detroit, Mich. After the arrest Boggs confessed that he was in the car at the time of the murder and Wormley admitted the killing. The latter claims that the murdered man endeavored to draw a pistol on him and that he hit Mr Turner over the head to prevent being shot. Boggs then assisting him in the assault. The trial will probably be held in Savannah as it is supposed that this murder took place in this county where the bloody hammer, shoes and bloody paper were found. للحصول على معلومات عن المجموعة St. Mary's New Hall.

The deceased is survived by a wife, two brothers and a host of friends’ who mourn h:s death. —_+ Pe eer ee ee To the Editor of the Savannah fribune: Dear Sir; Much has been said through the coluinns of the papers within the past weeks, with respect tothe cause of So much alarm among the colored peo. ple of our city and country—the killing of Mr. Turner of this a and Jannie Butler of Thunderbolt. The contribu- tions of the ‘churches, societies and individuals show the hospitalities of a race toying people. Though it must be Said thathis spirit does not present it self in every individual that happens to be connected with this darker race, yet 1 believe thal this is a providential plan to appeal to the masses for congeniality. ‘The North Carolina Mutaat and Provi- dent Association came to the relief of the woman who was killed at Thunder- bolt, in that the woman had just received her policy of membership fn that Asso- ciation on the verge of death; about twenty nine hours before the fatal en- counter; after paying a premium of just fifteen cents (15c) for which she receved in return twenty two dollars and fifty cents )$22.50). Yours very truly, | ‘A Subscriber, Air Dome Dots. The programs of the Air Dome comet the week were up to their accustome: high standard and throughout the week good crowds were in attendance. On Wednesday night pictares of the Passion Play’ were presented and standing room was ata premium during the early part of the evening. The pictures were the grandest ever seen in Savannah and the audience was a thoroughly representative one. It is es- timated that between nine and tenjhun- dred persons were present during the night and nothing but words of praise were fo be heard on all sides. The best of order was maintained and the house scored a hit which will long be remembered, Pekin Dots. seul Seyoue doubts the popularity of the “Pekin” let him or her take 2 stroll along West Broad Street some night just prior to the time for the opening of the secondshow. It reminds youof a sale day at some of the big department stores. A’better system would be very much appreciated by the female patrons, How about’ keeping the side walks clean until the patrons whe have wit- nessed the first show have made theit exit, then let those who wish to see the second show form a line. Looks like it.will be necessary to Lave an officer stationed at ‘the Pekin on opening night. ~ ‘The conducf of the small bors (aud some big oties too) around the Pekin at night is very objectionable, .

The statement seems to imply that thls educatjon Is a sort of gra- cfous gift on the part of the white man to the negro, and for whieh the negro renders mo service or pay. But what are the facts? The negro be ing a citizen of the government re- celves and :auuttea to receive this benefit siege swith other citizens. And while it Isitméythat the white man pays the bull ofthe taxes It 1s equal- ty true thet thé negro pays taxes in a dozen ways'dnd from whlch he re- celves no returns whatever. And fs it not an economic fact that the washerwoman, the cook and the day laborer pay the taxes of those for whom they work? And as to the old déctrine about the negroes being a drawer of water and a hewer of stone’ or wood, it may be pointed out in passing that to be accurate the adage ought to bo written thus: “Some negroes are drawors*of water and hewers of wood,” ete, ahd so are some of the’oher folks, The Watch- man continues: ; “In 1860 there were 158,592 ‘slaves in Texas, rendered for assessment at $106,683,920, giving an average value per slave all ages of $672.71 The assessed value of all land in Texas at that time was $122,29B764. The slaves were almost equal in value to all farm property, constituting 36 per cent, of the taxable wealth of the state. The state and county reve hues derlved from taxing slaves an- nually was approximately $1,000,000." Observe: The negro was producing and for ages had produced revenues amounting to a million dollars annual- ly. Producing tt for the other man. Suppose tho negro were now con- tributing absolutely nothing for the support of the government, would there bo anything at varlance with ethics and equity. If he should now be recelying a few million dollars an- nually for his education? ‘The Watchman says further: “Taking {nto consfderation tho per cent. of true value of property ren- dered for assessment in 1860, and the rate of Interest prevailing at the WIT AND HUMOR Wife—What would you Iike for your-birthday, dear?

They owned 65,- 636 farms, valued at $56,239,210. Their farms average fifty-nine acres each, although fifty-flve negroes owned 1,000 acres and over. Over 86 per cent. of our- negro farmers raiso cotton and 18.6 per cent, of all the farmers in Texas are negroes. Thero are 184,473 negro children of scholas- tle age in Texas who recelve from our state school fund $6 per annum per scholar. We have 2,471 negro school houses and the education of the ne- gro costs $1,000,000 per annum. The average ealary of the teacher In col- ored schoola fs $45.88. ‘The school tax pafd on property owned by' the negro {s approximately $60,000 per annum, leaving a not amount of $340, 000 per annum given to the negro an- bually {cr educational purposes.” We submit that a negro who owns 1,000 acres of land and more fs hardly a “drawer of water, and hewer of wood” in the sense usually read into that popular old Bible extract. And the fellow who owns even G0 acres is in many ways ahead of the hounds and with no fences to cilmb. That $6 item 1s always “played up large” by writers on negro education. Wo know that amount {s appropriated, but does the negro get It in every instance, or even {n the majority of cases? This reminds one of the story of Eph Sanders’ ‘possum. Uncle Eph succeeded in catching a large fat ‘possum one night, and on arrir- ing at home he decided to go into im- mediate action, After all prelimina- rles were over he put the “varmint” on to cook and then lay down before the fire and went to sleep. When he woke, up he saw to bis dismay that the ‘possum hed disappeared. On close examination he discovered that his mouth and fingers were covered with gravy and scraps of potatoes, all of which indicated that be him- self had eaten the ‘possum. “I may have eaten it," he mused, “but I be d—d if dars any oridence of dat fact in my stomach.” While Uncle = had slept and slumbered the other man had got away with the goods, put bad been considerate enough to leave some: faint traces around the ps and on the hands of the sleeper.
