The Boost The School Children's Games May 17 Boost The School Children's Games May 17 THE GREATEST ATHLETIC DAY THE NEGRO CHIL- DREN EVER HAD. Help Along the Games by Subscribing Liberally All eyes are now beginning to turn to the afternoon of the 17th of May when the Negro school children of the city will hold the first real field day sports in the history of our public and private schools. From every side the youngsters have begun to train for these events and from Monday on until the afternoon of the races every available spare hour which the children can find is going to be spent in getting themselves in readiness for the races which give promise of being very closely contested. Strenuous efforts are being made by the publicity committee of the Negro Business and Professional Men's Association, which is fostering these games for the benefit of Charity Hospital, to get all of the schools of the city interested in the games and those which have already been called upon have given the committee great encouragement. By Monday afternoon every school of the city will have been asked to take part in the games and there is every reason to believe that the number of youthful athletes who will vie with one another for supremacy on the afternoon of May 17th at the baseball park will be large and worthy of the great throng of spectators who will be present. As to just what school stands the best chance of winning the city championship it is too early in the training of the teams to say but it is a pretty safe bet that the school which does carry off the honors will be pushed to the limit. The personnel of the teams of the various schools will probably be given in The Tribune of next week. The soliciting committee which is raising funds for purchasing the prizes is busily at work and is meeting with fair success. Those who have not subscribed to the games and care to do so before the committee can get round to them may send their names to The Tribune and a member of the committee will call upon them.

Raymond Pickney A gambler on the square VOLUME XXVII The Servant in the South During slavery days the house servants were rewarded with extra privileges, among which were the left-over food and cast-off clothing of the "big house." This easily became, under the less rigorous forms of serfdom, a sort of payment in kind for personal service, and now and then "tips" in actual money were given. When formal emancipation came the servants were promised wages, but as a matter of fact the wages were seldom paid in cash, while a money value was often given to the food and old clothes. This old custom could easily degenerate into something very like stealing, and yet the custom could seem justifiable in the eyes of the ignorant, especially when their wages were low and often unpaid, and when they saw mistresses wink at and even expect peculiations of this sort. On the other hand, colored servants are not dishonest; money, jewelry and the like are safe in their hands with few exceptions. The result of the old system was unrest among servants, and the more intelligent and thrifty escaped from domestic service into the care of their own homes or day's work or other industrial avenues. Or if they continued in service they went North, where instead of receiving $1.50 a week in old clothes and cold victuals, they could earn $5 and $6 a week in cash. Moreover, the conditions under which a colored servant in the South must work are the worst in the civilized world. The hours are endless, the quarters are poor, the deference demanded is unbearable to people of least spirit, and the assumption of the natural inferiority of the servant is almost universal. Not only this but there is in the majority of cases in the South absolutely no protection for the black girl's virtue in the white man's home. Everybody knows that the mulatto both before and since slavery was the outcome of house service. What is the result? Poor and unwilling service. The best Negroes are withdrawing their sons and daughters from house service just as quickly as they can, and they deserve commendation for so doing. Even those Negroes who publicly commend house service are curiously careful to keep their children out of it. Those who cannot escape are demanding shorter hours, proper wages and better treatment. And those Southern families who can keep their black servants but three weeks would, better ask advice of their neighbors who keep good and faithful servants for ten and twenty years. If people pay their laborers low wages and cheat them,out of even these, they will get cheap labor, whether that labor be black, white or blue. If the South or the North wants decent domestic service it must (1) Pay decent wages. (2) Give shorter hours and more definite duties. (3) Treat servants as men and women and not as cattle. The people that are unwilling to do this will find the "servant problem" always with them, even though they nickname it a "Negro" problem—The Crisis. Royal Blues' Buffet Luncheon A Novelty. The buffet luncheon given by the Royal Blues at the Harris street hall on Friday night of last week was a novelty. The guests, numbering about two hundred, were royally entertained and the attair was full of pleasure from start to finish. Caringges, automobiles and cabs were used in bringing the merry parties to the scene. The hall was tastefully decorated with various designs, the color scheme being blue. The beautifully gowned women and the large number of men who were attired in evening dress were pleasing to behold. The music which was furnished by Prof. Mungin's Apollo Orchestra was indeed delightful. The lunch served was very appetizing and plentiful. As a whole the affair was a big success and the members are to be commended for pulling off such an enjoyable event. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1912 Saturday May 4 Is Cleaning-Up-Day Saturday May 4 Is Cleaning-Up-Day BOOST THE DAY AND THE PURPOSE FOR HEALTH BENEFIT Sweep Out the Attics, Unused Rooms—Rake Trash From Under Houses and Yards The first Saturday in May, the fourth, is named as Cleaning-Up Day. Every man, woman and child should get busy on that day and give their premises a general cleaning especially the unused attics and rooms. Rake the trash from from under the houses and in the yards. Get rid of the old bottles, tin cans, etc. Break up the breeding places of the flies and mosquitoes thus cutting down their production and insuring us better health. This Cleaning-Up-Day does not apply to many of our citizens whose premises are always in tidy condition, but all of us should enter the movement with a vim in order that impetus may be added to make the day one big movement for improved sanitation among our people. Let every reader of The Tribune keep the day in mind and be a booster for it by telling their neighbors and all others whom they may see. Last night a meeting of the Negro Civic Improvement League was held at the State College. There was a good attendance and Cleaning-Up-Day was given quite a boost. The ministers of the Evangelical Union and of the Baptist Union have entered heartily into the movement. To-morrow all of the ministers will speak of the movement from their pulpits and give talks along sanitary lines. Besides this the pastors have been requested to appoint a committee in their respective churches in, order to work up interest, etc. The teachers of the publicschools are taking an active part in the crusade against filth and are impressing upon the children the importance of the day and what it means for the better health of all of us. The teachers of the private schools will be expected to join the movement and every agency should make the day one big Cleaning-Up-Day thereby proving to our white friends that we are thoroughly interested in the movement for better sanitafor our beautiful city. Be a booster for Cleaning-up-Day. DELEGATES TO THE A. M. E. GENERAL CONFERENCE Delegates to Have Special Train Out of Atlanta-Many Ladies to Accompany Husbands on the Trip The delegates of the South Georgia District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church who are to attend the General Conference which is to convene at Kansas City, Mo., on May 5th, will leave the city Friday morning, May 3rd, over the Central Railroad. From present indications the coming conference bids fair to be one of the most interesting and most largely attended in the history of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. The delegation which will leave here Friday is to be in charge of Rev. L. A. Townsley and will make the entire-trip to Kansas City in a private Pullman car. Reservations for births are in charge of Rev. Townsley and all who wish to join the party out of Savannah should send him their names as early as possible so that they may be assigned space. At Atlanta the Savannah delegation will unite with the Florida, North Georgia, Southwest and Central Georgia and Beaufort delegates and the journey from there to Kansas City will be made on the A. M. E. special which will be provided with a regulation dining car. The long journey to Kansas City will be greatly relieved by an appreciably large number of ladies, the most of them wives of the delegates, who will accompany the delegates to the conference. The following will be the party President Taft At State College HUNDREDS TO GO OUT TO COLLEGE TO HEAR PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS Students and Citizens Alike Anxiously Awaiting the President's Coming. On the morning of Wednesday, May first, the Georgia State Industrial College will no doubt be the objective point of hundreds of citizens who are desirous of being present at Meldrim auditorium when President Taft will address the students of the college. It has been found convenient by the committee of the Hibernian Society, under whose auspices the President is coming to Savannah in celebration of their one hundredth anniversary, to so arrange their program as to include a visit to the College and the students are looking forward with great pleasure to this memorable visit. President Wright and his teachers are already getting things in readiness for the coming of the President and it is expected that the few moments spent by the President on the campus of the Georgia State Industrial College will be the means of much encouragement to the students and teachers. It is very likely that a very large proportion of the most representative, Negroes of the, city will take advantage of this opportunity of seeing the President by going out early and securing a seat in Meldrim auditorium where he will speak. The coming visit of President Taft will be the second which he has made to Savannah since he became Chief Executive of the nation, the former visit having been on the occasion when he and the now lamented Major Butt, who gave up his life so heroically when the steamer Titanic foundered off the coast of New Foundland Sunday night two weeks ago, were the chief guests at a May week festival which the city was holding. At that time the city was thrown into a state of animation the like of which has been witnessed here but very seldom. It is expected that a very large number of people from the outlying districts of Savannah will make it their business to be in the city on May first in order to get a glimpse of the President as he is escorted about the city viewing the many places of interest which Savannah affords.

The Master has a right to be firm in his decisions, but he has no right to forget the humble origin from which he was called, and which his proximity to the northeast of the lodge should ever remind him. By slow degrees he has reversed the position in which he then stood, but in his triumph he should exhibit self-abnegation. He is now a ruler, he was then a servant, but his rule should be as gentle as his obedience was then sincere.—Masonry. Our duty is plain; it is to love men and by example convince them of the goodness of our institution so that the Lame of Freemasonry shall be synonymous with that of an upright and good man; always bearing in mind that our profession as a Mason forbids persecution, and that errors can only be corrected by the exercise of brotherly love and affection, which are of more force and effect than hatred and ill will, leaving the end of all to Him who knoweth all and doeth all things well.—Walter Scott, Grand Master of Utah. CHARGE OF A MASTER MASON TO HIS SON. "My son, you do not realize what has been done for you. In your after life, as you more and more master the profound teachings, and experience the softening influences of this Order, you will undergo the mental growth you never thought possible. "Tonight you become a member of an Order of friends and brothers that has formed the basis for the greatest advancement accomplished by the human family. "You are now a member of the most noble Order that has ever existed among men. From its inception, the wisest, noblest, bravest and best of the race, have been its members, and their wisdom, and the heroism and purity of their lives has not only served to retain the Order in all its ancient purity, but has shed about a flood of light and glory that has illuminated the world." Swear, my son, to be true and faithful to the teachings of this Order, and let no hasty word or thoughtless act bring a blot upon this noble institution, or cast a cloud over the memory of the great men who have in all the glorious past stood where we now stand. "Let your conduct in your after life correspond with the principles of Masonry, and my remaining years will pass away with pleasure and satisfaction. "Ever remember that Masonry is a shield and not a sword. That within its sheltering tents, if your life is pure and just, you may ever find protection from the evil intentions of your enemies; but that Masonry does not foster or protect the wrong-doer, that it cannot be made a sword by which unjust warfare can be made against your fellow man, or your country. "All its principles, all its teachings, all its mysteries tend to the elevation and purification of man. I need but to remind you of the awful moment when you realized you were being made a Master Mason, how you shuddered at the possibility of crime, and with what love and admiration your heart turned toward every virtue. "You are not an orphan in Masonry. You are a legitimate heir to all its rights, benefits and privileges; you are the son of a Mason who reveres its teachings and stands uncovered in the presence of its sublime mystery. "You are no longer my son only, but you are my brother also and when my life shall draw to a close I hope to walk down into the dark waters of death steadied by the arm of my son and brother, and with a firm hope in that immortality of the soul, and a confidence in the all-saving power of the Lion of the tribe of Judah, so beautifully taught in the instructions you have received tonight. May I fearlessly push off my little bark and reach that beautiful and blissful shore, where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest, cheered by the happy reflection that my son has proven himself worthy of the great honor that tonight has been conferred on him."—Masonic Observer. NUMBER 32 International Conference On Negro at Tuskegee SESSIONS VERY INSTRUCTIVE AND INTERESTING Distinguished Persons From All Parts of World Present The First International Conference on the Negro was held in the Chapel of Tuskegee on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week. Many of the delegates to the Conference arrived at Tuskegee a day or two prior to its opening day and spent their time looking into the work in the shops and the class rooms and studying some of the methods they found in operation there for work among the surrounding rural Negro population. On the first day of the Conference, there were three first-class addresses, one by Rev. D. D. Martin, representing the Steward Foundation for Africa, the second by Dr. Cornelius H. Patton, Home Secretary for the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, Boston, Mass., and the third by P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education; Washington, D. C. The second day of the Conference was devoted to the subject of "Missions" and there were several interesting papers read. A considerable portion of the time devoted to Missions was given up to hearing and hopes of the Colored Missionary Societies from the United States. It was strikingly shown in this connection that the white resident people who are in control of the country did, not welcome the missionaries sent from these societies. The subject for discussion at the final day of the Conference was "Methods." There were several interesting papers read, the first one "Education by Culture Groups" by Robert E. Parks of Boston, Mass., and the second "Education and Racial Traits" by Prof. W. G. Thomas, Professor of Sociology at the University of Chicago, Ili. There were people from nearly all parts of the world present. There were Africans, West Indians and Americans of all denominations and various shades of color. There were some of the best known educators of this and other countries present and each one added his share to the success of the Conference. Thirty-six missionary societies representing sixteen religious denominations and twenty-one foreign countries or colonies were represented either officially or unofficially at the Conference. Fraternal Society Against Lottery Status Methods. Chicago, April 22.—(Special.)—All fraternal insurance that continues on a lottery status was denounced by the Illinois Fraternal Congress in Chicago and by thirty fraternal societies, members of the congress, in a resolution declaring in effect that members should accept readjustments of rates to adequate amounts if they wish to protect their widows. This action was a result of protests against an increase of rates recently adopted by one of the largest fraternal societies. The protesting members have been warned that the present rates are not adequate to provide the mortuary funds from which their widows can be paid when the members die and that only part of the members, those who die first, will hold the winning certificates. The action was a sequel to the adoption by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners of a bill for uniform legislation, known as the Mobile bill, which has become law in many States and now is expected within a few days to pass in others. That bill took cognizance of the resemblance of fraternal certificates under inadequate rates to the lottery that sells tickets, some of which will win and some of which will not. The resemblance was seen in the fact that only those certificates that are presented first with death claims can possibly be paid because inadequate collections cannot provide the amount necessary to pay the others. The resolution adopted by the Illinois Fraternal Congress declared: "That as an organization of fraternal benefit societies we recommend to (Continued on Page Four) ee ee ir man, General Henry R.

Facts, cold facts, are history, and they never Dlush to be narrated. Georgla was the first state to probibit the slave trade with Africa, and she kept that prohibition inviolate, while some of the northern states carried it on long after thelr own slaves were freed. ‘There was to them no proftt in salvery, but there were fabulous gains in the posed of their ow nslaves hy sending them south, and In some instances the young of their slaves were given away, E Their average conditions was Indes nitely better than that of the poor, who lved in the slums of the great elties of the north. They had all the necessities of Ite and many of its comforts, and In the main were more independent and less care, less re- Sporpibility than their masters. Young negroes grew up to manhood with the children*of their masters, frolicked with them by day and hunt- ed with them by night. They had their own corn shuckings, their har- vest suppers and thelr Christmas dances, where the fiddle, the banjo and thelr merry laugh were always heard In the field by day and at the fireside by night. The masters were almost universally kind from good policy, if nothing else. It was as much to their interest to keep their slaves in good condition as it was to protect and nourish their horses and cows. It was rare to see a puny, sickly negro ,child or one that was malformed or diseased. Cornbread, pot Mquor, big hominy and plenty of grease saved doctor's bills. There was a trusting companionship between the young people of both races, but the color line was always drawn 2nd do- minton was-on one side and obedience on the other. Never did a race in- crease faster than the slaves of Geor- gia. Nowhere was such ripe old age to bo found among the parents. Good food was abundant on the plantations and comfortable clothing came from the home-made loom and spinning wheel. Negro infants and children were always cared for by thelr mas- ter and mistress, and so were the | aged ones who had served out their day and were too old to work. Sim- ple medicines and good physicians were near at hand, and the negro was almost without care or apprehen- sion. The marriage relation was inforced among them and divorces were unknown. The ymultiplied rap- idly, in many cases the parents living to see more than a hundred de scendants NEGRO WAS HAPPY. * That Georgians did not emancipate thelr slaves was owing to a variety of circumstances. The climate of the south: was suited to the negro, and he seemed to be contented and happy here. The southerners had invested moro money in slaves than had their northern brethren. Tho invention of the cotton gin had suddenly stimulat- ed toe cultivation of cotton, for which the negro was peculiarly fitted, and the growth of rice, tobacco and sugar cane was equally inviting to bis labor. But moro than all these reasons was the fear that the slaves weré increas- ing so rapidly as to put the common- wealth in peril if they were freed. ‘They were still affected with the same race traits that they Inheriteod from barbarian ancestors, and it was feared that they could not be controlled as fredmen or as citizens. Still, there ‘was an intelligent number of our peo- ple who favored gradual emancipa- ton. This sentiment was slowly, but surely, spreading. Joseph Henry Lumpkin, chief justice of our supreme court, was outspoken as a co-worker with the gradual emancipation policy. inaugurated and advocated by Henry Clay of Kentvcky. This policy would doubtless have been adopted by Geor- gia had her people not resented what seemed like attempts to coerce them. Our people said: “If you let us alone we may do it, but you cannot drive us. We are penned up with these ne- Broes, and know where our safety Mes." The common people of Georgia, the yeomanry, the toilers, were no lov- ers of the negro. They realized he was in thelr way The slave-holders owned the best of the land, lived in fine houses, and had the best stock, the best tools, and the best vehicles, while the toilers had to take what they could get.

BISHOP ELLIOTT’S VIEWS. Bishop C. L. Elliott, D. D., of the Episcopal church, one of the grandest eclesiastics Georgla ever produced, in defense of African slavery, especially as It existed in Georgta, writes: “My feeling, just now, {3 that I would de- fend it against all interference, just as T should defend my children from any one who would tempt them to an {m- Proper independence; just as I should defend any relation of life, which man was attempting to break off, or to vio- late, ere the purposes of God in It had been worked out.

The recent death, and the circum- stances attending ‘hereunto, of Julla Grimes in this city, can be very ap- Propriately mentioned in connectfon with the above. Julia was the wife of Cornelius Grimes, a faithful em- ploye of the Atlanta postoffice, and wag very much respected by numerous white people of Atlanta. In fact, over her remains, at her house before the burial, and at the funeral ceremontes in the church, numerous ladies, some of very high social standing, wept pro- fusely over the sad event. It is sald of her that she probably had more white’ ftlends than any one occupying her position in the city. Those who knew her say she attempted on ail ‘occasions to do what was right. She was the daughter of an antebellum. ‘slave, trained as aj house servant by her own mistress. The family resided in North Georgia, and when Sherman's army went from Dalton on tts faraous tald through Georgia, they left bome, fleeing to South Georgia. They put in the hands of this faithful servant and her sister household valuables consist- ing of jewelry, glass and-chinaware; tn fact, all such articles as were, In those good old times, necessary for the comfort and pleasure of the well- todo Georgia family were placed in the care and protection of these faith- ful servants. The family Instructed them to “do the best with these things, and save them from the Yankees, if sible.” As Sherman approached thelr place of residence these servants filled up an old-fashfoned whitetop cupboard two-horse wagon and start- ed south. As they neared Kingston, in Bartow county, the thought oc- curred to them to seek safety in the Bartow Saltpeter cave. This cave had been the recess from which hundreds of thousands of saltpeter, for gsun- powder purposes, had Been made for the Confederacy. Here they found cooking utenslls of all kinds. They appropriated to their own use as many of these pots and ovens and skillets as they needed and took refuge in the Saltpeter cave. Carrying with them ample provisions, they rematned, not “hid out” cbut “hid in." for over two weeks. During all this time not a soul of the outside world knew where they wero with thelr mistresses’ house- hold valuables.

Excepting the undertaker, not a member of the old man’s race was present. Every- thing pertaining to the rites of burial was looked after by bis white friends. “William, who was better known as Crump, belonged to the Harrison fam- fly of Stewart county. He was born In Virginia, but when a mere boy be- came the property of Mrs. Burrough K. Harrison, being a gift from her father. He grew to manbood a’ slave, and in boyhood was the companion of Captain ‘Tip’ Harrison and all the oth- er Harrison boys. “The war came and all the Harrt- son boys went'to the front. Mrs. Har- rigon, then a widow, was left at home alone with giris—and Crump. But in the latter she found a protector as true and faithful as any knight of old. Visions of freedom weakened not nis fidelity, and he tolled by day to’ pro- vide sustenance for bis mistress and her children and by night was ready to defend them with nis Ife. “Then treedom came, but not to Crump. He remained and continued through life a Harrison, virtually as much a slave as be had ever been. Antebellum ties were never broken, thongh nominally he was a free man. “Then passing years brought old ie | ee eT eer eee above, can be stven in which a most hearty “amen” could be sald to Dr. Holderby’s expression, “It ts a pity that all the north cannot view this scene.” I only mention one extract from The Constitution: MINTER WIMBERLY'S CLOSE - CALL, “But for the presence of mind and heroic courage oS an ante-bellum darky, Hon. Minter Wimberly would not be alfve today. “Yesterday he wa inspecting nis farm In company with the negro and had occasion to walk across 2 long trestle. When half way across they heard the whistle of a Southern rait- way train close behind them. In try- ing to run over the crossties Mr. Wim- berly si{pped nnd fell so violently that his shoulder was dislocated. Sutfer- Ing so that he could not move, he had about prepared to dle when the negro Ufted bim up and plunged with him in hls arms toto the creek, a drop of fifteen feet, just in time to avold the train, which did not stop until after passing over the trestle.” For this noble act Mr, Wimberly at once gave the negro a warranty deed to the house and lot in which he lived as grateful evidence of his apprecta- tion.

THE HEGRO FARMERS among the negroes of the Mlasissippl delta by one of thelr own race: Mound Bayou, Miss. Dear Friend—You will agreo with me that Mound Bayou, along with the rest of this section, has experienced the “tightest time” In ber history. While some of the causes wero not our own, yet there was much that we could have done—that we did not do— which would have made condittons better. In order that f may, In some de gree, help us proft {n 1912 by our mis- takes in 1911 and the other years past, Tam writing you now. ~ One of the most embarrassing situ- ations 1s, that we find burselves with- out meat tn the smokehouse, no ‘meal in the barrel, no homeraised corn in the crib, no cow at the pall, not only our stock without feed, but ourselves dependent upon the merchant for sup- piles. It 1s a shame, almost a crime, that here in this fertile section, whero most anything will grow and land abundant for our use, that we would have been so short-sighted, sq foolish, ‘As to be caught In suc condition. ‘The heavy rains and boll weevil are some excuse for not ratsing enough cotton to meet our expectations, but there $s no excuse for our not having raised feedstuff to sustain the life of our stock and cattle and food for our table use Laziness, idleness, tack of thrift and foresight are charged against us, and we stand “gullty as charged.” The ones who continue fn this old rut will find themselves forced against the wall, and will lose In the work we are trying to do bere at Mound Bayou—in fact, such persons will not find room anywhere. Now, let us profit by the mistakes of last year. Let us get down to work, not for a few weeks or a few months, but every hour, every day, every week, every- month, until the year closes. If you will thus engage yourself, you Will find time to raise hogs, cows, chickens, hay and truck,,and still raise as much cotton as ever. It ts a mistake to try to make your cotton crop feed you, clothe you. pay your debts and give you a bank account for the rainy day. It 1s an {dle dream and Will not work.

Properly dtrected, the negro farmer and farm laborer are producers of great wealth. But the negro farmer, drawing inspiration from the white man, 1s a one-crop man, and during the time between crops his poverty {s usually appalling. The Memphis Commerctal Appeal suggests to every white employer’ of negro labor and to every white man who rents land to negroes that they call tho negroes together and read to them this letter of advice, written by one of their own race. “UNCLE” WAS CAUTIOUS. ‘A commercial traveler at a rall- way restaurant in one of our south- ern towns Included in his order for breakfast two hoiled eggs.

Farmers should ralse all the: stock they can handle on their places; they help to keep the soll up and are protit- able if judiciously managed and will pay a good return on the investment, There are many negroes who £0 from the city to the country who have ample means for carrying out these plans, but as soon as they locate they are ready to spend thelr money and time in a way that !s hurtful to the race. While they are thus engaged. the white man is taking up the best land and in a short time will have It all. The negro will not be able to get employment with him, because scten- tic farming and improved machin- ery will ere long displace the negro farm hand. We stould take notice of this fact. DENNIS S. THOMPSON. Bethel, Kan. In almost -all farm homes elther coal or wood stoves are used, pro- ducing a large quantity of ashes dur- ing the winter and a considerable quantity from the kitchen range at seasons when the heating stoves aro not in use. All of these ashes aro of ‘some value, and the economical dis- ‘posal of them ts of {mportance. Wood ashes are a valuable fertilizer for a variety of plants, containing 2 good proportion of soluble potash salts and other useful fertilizing compounds. They are of an alkall nature, and hence are ideal for sweetening the soll of the garden and flower beds. They are a fine fertiliztt sprinkled over the Jawn in winter or early spring, and zre also excellent for placing around frult and ornamental trees. “Used as a fertilizer for vego- tables or flowers, the insoluble por- tions of the ashes'make the soll toose and friable, as well as more retentive of moisture. Wood ashes may be removed from the stoves and applied’ directly to the garden or flower bed soll, or they may be stored In barrels or boxes under cover to be used in spring and sum- mer, when the soll {s worked. ‘Tho useful fertilizing compounds in these ashes are soluble, hence if they are allowed to remain where they will be- come wet with rains, the richness will be dissolved out of them. When sprinkled on tho soil as removed from stoves, the fertility is dissolved out by rains and soaks into the sof! where needed. Coal ashes have no soluble or fer- tilling compounds {n them, yet they are useful as absorbent of odors and fertilizing compounds when mixed with or sprinkled on animal excreta. One of the best uses for coal ashes fs to sprinkle them over the poultry droppings in hen houses as fast as they accumulate. They will not onty aid in keeping dawn foul odors in the poultry house, but they wtll absorb the gases from the droppings and make them more valuable as fertilizer. It fs claimed that by use of Coal ashes in this manner in poultry housesthe value of the droppings {s doubled in fertilizing value, as the ammonia, one ot the richest compounds of the droppings, soon evaporates and Is lost where no absorbing material ts uséd. Wood ashes must never be used in the poultry house, or with other ant- mal exereta; as they untie chemtcalty with them to produce foul odor and to destroy the richness of the excreta. Where coal ashes contain hard cinders, they may be used to advan- tage in poultry: houses and yards for the fowls to pick: over. The hard cinders are the best kind of grit ma- tertat for poultry, and a flock of hens will scratch over and eat out all of the fine particles of a pile of cinders with great relish, with much benefit. A sponge that has become slimycand sticky can be made as fresh as when new If well rubbed, right into the very center, with a freshly cut lemon and well rinsed. If one application be not enovgh, the treatment should be re- peated, and the sponge put in the open alr to dry. Sponges often become sitmy through hard water, so a good water softener 13 advisable. -This consists of a mix- ture of borax and oatmeal well stirred together and dissolved in boiling war ter. People whose skins are at all in- clined to roughen and redden with weather changes should use a paste made of oatmeal powder and water in the palm df the hand Instead of soap.

DENNIS 8. THOMPSON OF BETHEL, KAN., WRITES INTELLIGENTLY OF THE NEGRO AND SCIEN- TIFIC FARMING—SAYS THE + DAY OF “MOON” FARMING HAS PASSED—AN ERA OF SCIENCE CONFRONTS THE BLACK FARM- Nowadays one hears a great deal of agitatton concerntog the movement of the urban population back to the soll. This is a very commendable thought and it {s one that must in the very near future be put Into action, because the country has reuched the point in Its progress whero it bas been brought face to face with a problem that 1s growing more serous each year. The great army of consumers or non-producers 1s enlisting new re- crults each month, ‘which tn due course of time is going to make its in- fluence for worse felt throughout the land, after which everyone will rise and exclaim: “f told you #0.”: In regard to the negro, there are en- tirely too many in the populous cen- ters, and the enactment of stringent ordinances fn many cities ta causing many who have-no visible means of support to change thelr place of abode, With the Increase of the worlds” population, it naturally requires more each year to support this increase: there will come each succeeding year a brisker demand for the things that contribute to the sustenance of man and beast, and the negro race must be- gin to tncrease tts contribution to this class of producers. This “going back to the soll” idea Is one that is all right; agriculture has been the Initial success *of every nattonallty, ‘but the time has come when there must be a discrimination fn the rural districts against a certain class of peo- ple who come from the citfes with a disposition to “rule or ruta.” Many negroes come from the cities and invest in land where the soll 1s in an tmpoverlshed condition, butld a residence sultable for a millloralre's family, and then they aro full-fledged farmers. They do not give any thought to the improvement of the soll and their farms, which to bring success would bo the foremost consideration, but Just so they have a fine house they do not care for anything higher. ‘There is a great demand for ne groes to engage in farming, but we have come to the point where we must have a class of negro farmers who are willing to combine sclence and experience; we cannot attempt to rely upon the “moon farmer” in these days of progress and hustle; we want negtoes who understand something about building up the soll, so as to ket the maximum yfeld out of the land at the minimum cost. i We need business farmers, soi! buflders, and not soll robbers. Materially speaking, there 1s no question but that the negro must in’ a short time s@ back to the soll, if the right class ‘of people can be in- duced to go; if the right kind cdnnot be had, It {s Just as well that the sbift- leas sort be left In the cities to thelr fate, because they would only be at a disadvantage in the country districts, whore industrious and intellectual folk were endeavoring to improve their condition. Too often people coming from the cities to the country tind the assdelation of dishonest persons more congenlal than that of those who would do right, and thts one thing has been a most serfous drawback to the negro in many farming commu- nities. It does not take long to Introduce tho things that arc burtful in a com- munity; but once they are introduced, it requires many years of persistent effort to eradicate from the minds of the country boys and girls the seeds of evil sown by some ill-designing per- son from the city. But this does not mean that the ne~ gro should not go back to the farm. There is plenty of room for those who are willing to come out and secure themselves homes and got down to business as others do. Let the negro woman come out of town to the coun- try and go to work. Just the same ag the German or Swede women do. Com- ing to the country does not mean to sit down and gather honey from the trees, but it does mean that people who are thrifty would soon have a dependence of thelr own and be ex- amples to those around them and a credit fo the community. For several centuries the negro has been a tiller of the soil here in Amer- fea, and through bis efforts the white man has been able to lay the founda- tion upon which he is accumulating miltions of dollars today, aml it does seem that the time 1s ripe for the ne- gro to begin to make a business of ag- riculture for himself, and many are.

Tn the days before every village market town had its elty products, and itinerant peddlers were the chief salesmen, they thought, in fact, a great deal of their own old reelpes, for home-made sauces. They were made according to directions which were handed down through genera- tions, and formed the special pride of many a busy housekeeper. Aa a matter of fact, many of the old recl- pes have become patented, and the original has acquired a world-wide ‘reputation such as its originators would never have foretold for It. Among the forgotten recipes {s oné for tomato mustard which Is worthy, of the consideration of those whose stock of tomatoes {s greater than can be used for cool.ing and salads, To two gallons of tomatoes three reppers should be added when minced, and these must be placed in a large preserving pan with a tablespoonful of freshly ground black pepper, an ounce of powdered ginger, a quarter of an ounce of cloves. half an ounce of mixed spice. wo ounces of salt and the grated rind of a lemon. These ingredients should be well minced to- gether and boiled for an hour to an hour and a half. At the end of that time the contents of the pan should Be allowed to cool, and when cold an ounce cf curry powder and an ounce of pondered mustard added, with a Wreakfast cupful of vinegar.

Senator Hitehcock of Nebraska pro- tested that (he measure, which had Leen almost entirely} rewritten by Sen- ator Root of New York, was “loosely and recklessly drawn." He led a sin- slehanded fight against the bill for gn hour and g half, but succumbed when southern Democratic senators sapported the measure, It finally passed without a dissenting vote. NOTABLE DEBATE OVER BILL. The debate over the bill was notable for a passionate eulogy of the achleve- ments of the negro race by Senator Root and a radical declaration in favor of racial separation by Senator Newlands. Senator Rradley made.two speeches. the first, a brief recital of the fact that contkern negroes faithfully and fearlessly protected southern women and children on the Confederate side or fought bravely in the unfon armies: the second, a plea “for justice toward the Inferior race on the part of the superior,” and a sarcastic “skinning” of Senator Hiteheock. The Bradley’ bill appropriates $230,- 000, safeguarded by the supervision of vouchers by the: secretary of the treasury and the superviston’on build- }ings by the secretary of commerco and labor for the use of the Seml-Cen- ‘tennial American Emanelpation Expo sition company, a negro corporation, organized in Georgia by R. R. Wright of Savannah, and others. for exposl- tion purposes. The company must satisfy the president that {t has raised $50,000 before he praclaims the timo and place of the exposition which: {s desigiied to show the material prog- ress of the negroes ot the United States, HITCHCOCK STIRS UP ROOT. Senator Hitchcock contended that the exposition, like all others hereto- fore held, would degenerate into an amusement enterprise and lose all educational aspect. It would create a lot of jobs for negroes to waste gov- ernment.money, he eaid. This brought ont Senator Root in bis most Impres- sive vein. “Congress has appropriated millions, similarly safeguarded for expositions, from which 9,000,000 blacks are prac- tleally excluded,” he declared, “when the senator from Nebraska opposes this very reasonable appropriation that these blacks may take heart in their struggle toward progress by wit- nessing the achievements of each oth- er. The whole trend of social devel- opment fe toward separation of the two races in all affairs of life. Yet this fret step toward encouraging them to help themselves to become useful, law-abiding, thrifty and indus- trious citizens 1s opposed. The eman- cipation proclamation was the most magnificent act that ever affected the destinies of a race, and it js fitting that It should be commemorated unto those people by an exposition. We've done little enough for them. We have done much pushing away and little to make them less of a burden ta us and more of a satisfaction to the members of thelr own race. The last place I expected opposition Is from the soll where the Kansas-Nebraska struggle ould be so well remembered.” ‘ SHARP THRUST AT ROOT. “On the soll of Nebraska, which the senator from New York ts kind enough to mention,” retorted Senator Hitch- cock testily. “the negro Is doing as well as In New York." Mr. Root, whose ordinary tempera: ture is at the freezing point, began to tell how the negroes who appeared be- fore his committee fn advocacy of the Bradley bill bad touched bis heart. He thought even the “hard heart” of Senator Hitchock would have beén toucheds he said. Mr. Newlands, a member of the Root committee, then launched Into the speech that’ disarmed Mr. Hitch- cock. * ¢ “Iam a radical on the race ques- ton,” he said. “I would bar all col- ored tmmigration as a protection for the future of the republic. I would disfranchise all save members of the white race. 1 do not bolfeve two races of different color can live on the same soll without one belng subservient to the other. And I think amalgamation would be the greatest shuddering curse that could be visited on the ‘The Ministers’ union, as it Is now being conducted in Birmingham, 13 quite a new but nelpful venture on the part of the mlnistry.—The Bir- minghars Reporter. PRETTY SOUTHERN PORTIA FIGHTING FOR NEGRO’S LIFE New York,—It was a very natty and very confident Portlé who appeared before Judge Swann in general ses- sions. She was Lucile Pugh, bar rister, and she came to plead the cause of an ink black negro, soon to be tried on the charge of murder in first degree. Miss Pugh had been as- signed by Judge Swann as counsel for the black man at the latter's urgent solicitation, and for the first time in the history of criminal procedure in this city a woman will conduct the defense of a man on trial for bis Alte. Leroy Poindexter is the prisoner who has given his life into the hands of this brown-hatred, bright-eyed Ut- tle woman, “She knows all my folks down in North Carolina.” he said, “and she'll be very careful for me.” Poindexter fs “charged with baving shot and killed Thomas Brown, a white man, during a quarrel over 2, crap game on March 7. | When tho negro was arraigned be- fore Judge Swann to plead to the in- dictment yesterday, le said be had no counsel, nor money to hire oné. “But, judge, If you all send for Miss Pugh and ask her to be my lawyer, Ab'd be mighty obliged. Ske’s the Dest lawyer in this town and she Knows me and knows how to treat a No'th Cyarlina nigger.” Judge Swann summoned Miss Pugh to his chambers and asked her if she felt capable of conducting Poindexter's defense. Miss Pugh said confidentlys she hed been practicing law since she graduated from the New York Uni- versity Law school in 1908; that she had supreme court and also one min- or criminal case. She didn't see any reason why, sbe should not be assign- ed as counéel for Poindexter. “The man needs someone who will have sympathy for him,” said Miss Pugh, “and since he seems to have such confidence In me Fshould be the One to conduct his defense.” Whereupon Judge Swann assigned Miss Pugh as leading counsel for the negro and he also “assigned State's Senator James D. fcClelland as asso- clate couneel. : When Poindextor was” led into Judge Swann’s court again to make bis pleading under advice of counsel, Miss Pugh was there waiting. ‘The negro’s eyes opened wide with gratitude when he saw the slender lit- le woman standing by the side of the counsel's desk, and he mumbled some words of thanks. Then this latter- day Portla stood by the side of the black man to make her initial address In his behalf to the court. Lucile Pugh, barrister, is only 26 years old, and of slight, petite bulld. She fs a North Carolinian, Miss Pugh's address to the court was brief.

The demand now for really good dairy animals everywhere is sc ‘great the normal demand cannot be adequately met. 5 _ ‘The dairy cow and her calf are val ‘uable animals, and every effort should be made to kave the cow come through ‘her eritical stage in good shape and withgut any disorder., A little care tu tat ences will prevent trouble. it fs very common among farmers ‘and dafrymen to have “bad luck” with their dows at calving time, It 1s not uncommon for either the cow or calf, or both, to die. Frequently the cow becomes affected with milk fever and tho young calf has a severe case of the scours. In not a few cases, what ia known as contagious abortfon breaks Into the herd, resulting in the premature birth and death of many calves which might bave lived and de- veloped into valuable animals. Abor- tion Is an infectious disease, the In- fection spreading rapidly in the herd, and not easily combatted when once it gets a foothold. General cleanll- ness and disinfecting animals and quarters are preventives. Care and cleanliness will drive away much of the so-called bad tuck. It must be remembered that the cow, when she drops her calf, is in a very weakened dnd nervous condition for several days. Her vitallty ts low- ered and she is subject to more all- ments than at other perlods. Also, it must be remembered that the newly horn calf, Hike all other young ant- mals, is 2 weak and feeble creature, not coming to {ts normal conditfon for three or four days. During the first six or ten hours of the cal’s Iife is one of the most trying perlods of its existence. If all things go well at this time it is apt to grow strong and healthy, giving very ttle trouble afterwards. HOG TONIC. A bog tonic for which we have had several requests during the past year is one sent in by Mr, Geleelhart of Minnesota over a year ago. The meth- od of compounding this tonic is as follows: “Madder. 1 pound; sulphur, 1 pound; saltpejer, 1 pound; resin, 1 pound; black antimony, % pound; copperas, 14% pounds; asafoetida, % pound; ar- sentc, 1 ounce. Take this-to a drug: gist and have him grind {t all into fine powder. 1 have usually paid 90 ‘cents for the whole amount.” "We have been recommending that this tonic be given at the rate of one tablespoonful to twenty-five shouts, once a day, whenever the plgs seem- ed off feed or hnd a tendency to cough. Mr. Gefselhart has just writ- ten us, making the following modif- cation: 4 “Give one tablespoontul to every five 150-pound hogs each day as long as they have the slightest cough. Keep it up, and should there be any inclina- tlon not to eat at any time, put some of the tonic in the swill or water that the bogs drink. or if there is any dis- case in the nelghborhood feed it each day in the slop. Mix it in whatever soft, moist feed you are feeding. Keep it and feed it the year around. I have not Jost one hog from any disease since uaing this tonfc, and I have been raleing hogs for over twenty years."— ‘Wallace's Farmer. PIGS IN PENS, ‘The plg in the pen in the back yard of the suburbantte or small town dweller can be fed almost entirely on slops and for this reason will produce @ much larger profit on the Invest- ment than the grainfed pig raised in the field. Of course, care must be taken that the pigs do not become a nuisance to the neighbors, but this can be secured if,the back yards are of sufficient depth. Only three or four plgs should be bought, for the average family does not have enough slops to support more than that many pigs. Very small. potatoes and other scraps from the Kitchen can also be utilized by the hogs, although almost useless for human consumption. The pigs kept im a pen will usually be found healthy if the ordinary precautions are taken. The north slde of the pen should be covered and made impérvi- ous to wind and rain and the pigs should be provided with clean straw and pure water. | ‘The pigs, raised in this way wilt Produce a good profit and in add- tion the raiser will have the satisfac- tion of knowing that scraps and slops are not thrown away, but are used. TO START A TIGHT SCREW. Heat a poker red-hot and then hold it against the screw head for a little while, watt a few minutes for the screw to cool down, when It will be found that the screw can be removed quite easily with the same screw. river that just previously would not perform the work. The explanation ig quite simple, the screw expands and makes the hole it Js in just a wee bit bigger. Tho screw then cools dgwn and reeumes Its original size. leaving the hole in the wood a size too large—and there you are. LAND AND CLIMATE. | In no other continent, under no oth- er sun, In no other zone In all this world can be found the same-extept of fertile, available agricultural land as in these United States. And in ro other equally largo tract as that stretching from the Atlantic to tho Pacific and between the great lakes and the gulf can be duplicated tho same amount of normally gcod weath- ef as nature bas bestowed on thls fa- vored land. Our rain and sunshine are so proportioned, says Popular Me chantes, the one to the other, as to Produce the best yearly conditions on earth. Africa has its jungle, Australia its Vast desert, Siberla its endfess wastes. For weeks or months at a times the. inhabitants of other coun- trles must be content simply to walt until the passing of the inclement period before resuming anything ko their full measur& of activities. In one place it is the long winter with deep snow and short daylight; tu an- other, a season of unhealthful heat or rain, from each of which the people emerge with mental and physical pow- ers at a low ebb. But here our north 1s not so cold, nor our south so hot, as to preclude a continuous season of, activity. In every part of the land our railroads are running throughout the year; our children can reach-tbelr schools: our stores and banks and fac- torles and mines are in operation, every weekday; we are a continuously: busy and employed people. 7 And all this possible because We have a maximum of good weather. Our climate 1s an asset we seldom reckon. * CARE OF MANURE. The Maryland station allowed 80 tons of manure to lie exposed to the weather for one year and found that the amount was reduced to.27 tons at the end of that time. Professor Shut: of Canada allowed two tons of ima- nure, containing 1,938 pounds of or- ganic matter, to Me exposed during the four warmest months, from April 29 to August 29, and found the amount reduced to 635 pounds, and nitrogen was reduced. from 48.1 pounds to 27.7 pounda, or almost one-half was lost. The experiments emphasize the neces- sity of putting the manure on the land as soon as possible. It 1s some- times piled up and allowed to heat, thus destroying much of {t& value. It must not be forgotten that rauch’ of the value of manure and all forms of: organic matter come from {ts rotting’ while In contact with the soll, and it allowed to decay before it 1s gotten, into the soll much of the benefit will be lost. Crop residue, such as corn- stalks, stubble, straw and all other forms of vegetable matter, should bo turned back into the soll and not burned, as Is the common practice in some parts. * GARDEN SUGGESTION. _ Tomatoes do not require a very fer tile soll. A rich soll will make large vines but not so much fruit, It fs always seasonable to clean out stables and scatter the manure on poor land. Feed the land and the land will keep you. The ay to grow very early toma- toes {s to start the plants in tho house or hotbed ahead of, season, har- den off in cold frame and set out plants as soon as the soll fs warm enough. The vines must be tied up to stakes for full ight and alr, and surplus shoots kept removed. Cabbage soll cannot well be made too rich. Very early cabbage is se- cured by starting the plants ahead of the season and setting them“In the ‘open as soon as frost fs past. Early’ maturing seed should be used, and the planta given frequent cultivation with liquid manuring as soon as heads begin to form. Peas may be planted as soon as frost is out of the ground, but beans should not be planted until the sol? has become warm and the weather set- tled. ‘The Kentucky wonder pole bean is a prolife and satisfactory snap va- riety. It has a Jong season of bearing, and the beans are always high and clean. Rotate potatoes in the garden to avold scab and other diseases. It 1s also well to rotate all garden crops every year to lessen the dangers of in- sects and disease. + Starting seeds fn flats in the house early. and transplanting the seed- Ungs to 2Inch pots before setting them in the garden will insure extra early maturity for chotce plants. For this purpose, earthen flower pots may be used or those made of heavy paper. Both kinds are cheap and for sale by all large seed dealers. 7 : Horseradish 1s one of the hardiest and easlest to grow of all garden vege- tables. Prepare the soil deep for the row, eet the young plants in ft, and with slight, cultivation they will grow atd multiply for years. Old strawberry boxes may be used for starting early molons or cucum- bers. Plant the seeds in the boxes with rich soil, and set them fa the open garden after the weathes becomes settled and warm. In usmg elther paper ‘of weod boxes or pots for this purpose, pot and all may be set In the garden soll, as {t will soon rot and allow the feeding roots to push out. » The Savannah Tribune, Established 1873 By JOHN H DEVEAUX.

Hundreds of our people are purchasing property. This is a sign of progress. Every young man who is making regular wages should endeavor to be a property owner. The excursion and picnic season is on. Thousands of dollars will be spent in this direction. Our people should keep in mind the severe winter season just passed and understand that another is coming. Pleasures are not condemned, but save some of the pennies. We have many men who have been earning lucrative salaries for years, some of them with families, can show nothing for what they worked but a pile of receipts from rented houses. These men are imprudent and are unfaithful to to their families. The day will soon come when they will express regrets for not doing otherwise. The earnestness in which the Public Interest Committee of the Chamber of Commerce has entered in the movement of bettering the sanitary conditions of our people, the practical manner in which they are acting and the hard work that is being entailed, only go to prove what we have always asserted not alone in our columns but in conversation especially with those of other parts of the country, that we have the best class of white citizens that can be found anywhere. Some of our men have been conducting business for years. It is hardly known that they are in business. They make no improvement and are continually complaining that the people will not patronize them. How in the name of all that's good can the people patronize them unless they tell the people that they are in business and what they have for sale. This can not be done unless they advertise and do so continually. The most successful men among us are those who make much use of printer's ink. If our men of business would imbibe the advertising habit it is assured that their business would boom for the people will know where they are and what they have for sale. Try it for at least six months and note the increase in business. Fraternal Society Against Lottery Status Methods the members of the Modern Woodman of America that they accept the readjustment and retain their membership in that Society." The protesting members have attempted by legislation to prevent a readjustment of rates for several years and summoned what political strength they could to pass a bill for that purpose in defiance of mortuary costs and mathematics. IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE. Interesting Services In The Churches of the City. Friendship baptist Church.

Dots Despite the inclement weather on Sunday there was a good crowd at church at night night, Rev Wright read for the lesson Ps. 4:1-10. He then introduced Rev. Beckum, Secretary of the National Baptist Convention who preached a strong sermon from St. John 14:6. The sermon was very instructive. He drew many beautiful lessons from the various great accidents that have happened recently. We were all pleased to hear him. The choir sang "I am the way." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Father stretch my hands to Thee." An excellent collection was raised to assist Rev Beckum in his great work. He distributed quite a number of little buttons with the colors red, white and blue, the initials N. B. C. C, which he requested to be worn.

A pretty Japanese concert will be given for the benefit of the school in the Hall on Monday April 29th. It will be given by the young people of Brownsville under the leadership of Mrs. Mungin. It is intended to be a token of the appreciation from the people of the surrounding districts for the many advantages which the new school has brought to the South Western section of the city. After the concert there will be a grand festival. Special music will be given by Mungin's Famous Apollo Orchestra. The admission is only 20 cents. It is expected that a very large crowd of the friends of the school will attend this concert and thus give a practical proof of their appreciation of the work done by the Mission. Mrs. Mungin and the young people of Brownsville deserve our best thanks for the spontaneous act of devotion to and appreciation of the great work accomplished in the beautiful school.

First and second cabin pass First and second cabin pass Total cabin passengers lost New York.—The following tabulation of the passengers and crew on board the Titanic, together with those saved and lost, has been compiled from the figures in the statement issued by the committee of passengers: New York.—How the White Star liner Titanic, the largest ship afloat, sank off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland early Monday morning last, carrying to their death 1,601 of the 2,340 persons aboard, was told to the world in all its awful details for the first time with the arrival in New York of the Cunard liner Carpathia bearing the exhausted survivors of the catastrophe. Of the great facts that stand out from the chaotic account of the tragedy these are the most salient. The death list has been increased rather than decreased. Six persons died after being rescued. The list of prominent persons lost stands as previously reported. Practically every woman and child with the exception of those women who refused to leave their husbands were saved. Among these last was Mrs. Isidor Straus. John Jacob Astor and other millionaires worked with officers to save the women and with the sailors died like heroes. The last information concerning Major A. W. Butt was that the gallant officer was with a group of the ship's officers and passengers on the upper deck as the giant of the seas sank. The survivors on the lifeboats saw the lights on the stricken vessel glimmer to the last; heard her band playing "Nearer My God to Thee," and saw the doomed hundreds on her deck and heard their groans and cries when the vessel sank. Accounts vary as to the extent of the disorder on board. Not only was the Titanic tearing through the April night to her doom with every ounce of steam crowded regers aboard: 330 320 750 940 2340 Carpathia: 210 125 200 535 4 39 96 71 saved. 210 d crew. 745 passengers. 650 passengers saved. 335 at. 315 on, but she was under orders from the general officers of the line to make all the speed of which she was capable. This statement was made by J. H. Moody, a quartermaster of the vessel and helmsman on the night of the disaster. He said the ship was making 21 knots an hour and the officers were striving to live up to the orders to smash the records. "It was close to midnight," said Moody, "and I was on the bridge with the second officer, who was in command. Suddenly he shouted, 'Port your helm!' I did so; but it was too late. We struck the submerged portion of the berg." Ripped from stem to engine-room by the great mass of ice she struck amidships, the Titanic's side was laid open as if by a gigantic can opener. She quickly listed to starboard and a shower of ice fell onto the forecastle deck. Shortly before she sank she broke in two aft, the engine-room, and as she disappeared beneath the water the expulsion of air caused two explosions, which were plainly heard by the survivors adrift. The accounts agree substantially that when the passengers were taken off on the lifeboats there was no serious panic, and that many wished "to remain on board the Titanic, believing her to be unthinkable." The most distreasing stories are those giving the experiences of the passengers in lifeboats. These tell not only of their own suffering, but give the harrowing details of how they saw the great hulk of the Titanic break in two, the after nart sinking first amid a series of explosions, followed by the sinking of the forward part of the ship. As this awful spectacle was witnessed by the groups of survivors in the boats they plainly saw many of those whom they had just left behind leaping from the decks into the water. J. Bruce Ismay, president of the International Mercantile Marine, owners of the White Star Line, who was among the seventy-odd men saved. P. A. S. Franklin, vice-president of the White Star Line, and United States Senator William Alden Smith, chairman of the Senate Investigating Committee, held a conference aboard the Carpathia soon after the passengers had come ashore. The arrival of the Carpathia brought a vast multitude of people to the Cunard docks. They filled the vast pier sheds and overflowing for blocks, crowded the nearby streets in a dense throng. Through it all the rain fell steadily, adding a funeral aspect to the scene. The landing of the survivors was attended with little excitement, the crowd standing in awe-like silence as the groups from the ship passed along. The docking actually began shortly after 9 o'clock and the debarking of passengers was so quickly disposed of by the waving of the usual formalities. Physicians and nurses went aboard the Carpathia before anyone was allowed to go down the gangway, but soon after the first cabin passengers, women predominating, began descending the incline. Some walked unaided, some were assisted by friends, relatives and nurses, and some were on stretchers. Mrs. John Jacob Astor, now a widow, was met by her stepson, Vincent, and her sister, Miss Force. SURVIVORS MAKE REPORT Say 2,340 Persons Were Aboard and 745 Saved. New York.—The following statement issued by a committee of the surviving passengers of the Titanic was given the press on the arrival of the Carpathia: "We, the undersigned surviving passengers from the steamship Titanic, in order to forestall any sensational or exaggerated statements, deem it our duty to give to the press a statement of facts which have come to our knowledge and which we believe to be true. "On Sunday, April 14, 1912, at about 11.40 P. M., on a cold, star-lit night, in a smooth sea and with no moon, the ship struck an iceberg, which had been reported to the bridge by look-outs, but not early enough, to avoid collision. Steps were taken to ascertain the damage and save passengers and ship. Orders were given to put on life belts and the boats were lowered. "The ship sank at about 2.20 A. M. Monday and the usual distress signals were sent out by wireless and rockets fired at intervals from the ship. Fortunately the wireless message was received by the Cunard steamship Carpathia at about 12 o'clock midnight and she arrived on the scene of the disaster at about 4 A. M. Monday. "The officers and crew of the steamship Carpathia had been preparing all night for the rescue and comfort of the survivors and the last mentioned were received on board with the most touching care and kindness, every attention, being given to all, irrespective of class. The passengers, officers and crew gave up, gladly, their staterooms, clothing and comforts for our benefit, all honor to them. "The English board of trade passengers' certificate on board the Titanic allowed for a total of approximately 3,500. The same certificate called for lifeboat accommodation for approximately 950 in the following boats: "Fourteen large lifeboats, two smaller boats and four collapsible boats. Life preservers were accessible and apparently in sufficient number for all on board. "The approximate number of passengers carried at the time of collision was: "First-class, 320; second-class, 320; third-class, 750; total, 1,400. Officers and crew, 940. Total, 2,340." "Of the foregoing about the following were rescued by the steamship Carpathia: "First-class, 210; second-class, 125; third-class, 200; officers, 4; seamen, 39; stewards, 96; firemen, 71; total, 210 of the crew. The total—775 saved—was about 80 per cent. of the maximum capacity of the life-boats. "We feel it our duty to call the attention of the public to what we consider the inadequate supply of lifesaving appliances provided for on modern passenger steamships, and recommend that immediate steps be taken to compel passenger steamers to carry sufficient boats to accommodate the maximum number of people carried on board. The following facts were observed and should be considered in this connection: "The insufficiency of lifeboats, rafts, etc.; lack of trained seamen to man same (stokers, stewards, etc., are not efficient boat handlers); not enough officers to carry out emergency orders on the bridge and superintend the launching and control of lifeboats; absence of searchlights. "The London Board of Trade rules allow for entirely too many people in each boat to permit the same to be properly handled. On the Titanic the boat deck was about 75 feet above water and consequently the passengers were required to embark before lowering the boats, thus endangering the operation and preventing the taking on of the maximum number the boats would hold. Boats at all times should be properly equipped with provisions, water, lamps, compasses, lights, etc. Life-saving boat drills should be more frequent and thoroughly carried out and officers should be armed at boat drills. "There should be greater reduction in speed in fog and ice, so that the damage, if collision actually occurs; would be less. In conclusion, we suggest that an international conference be called to recommend the passage of identical laws providing for the safety of all at sea and we urge the United States government to take the initiative as soon as possible." The statement was signed by Samuel Goldenberg, chairman, and a committee of some 25 passengers. CAPT. SMITH'S WIDOW. Her Pathetic Message To Her Fellow- Sufferers. London.—The widow of Capt. Smith, the commander of the Titanic, has written a pathetic message, which was posted outside the White Star offices. It reads as follows: "To my poor fellow-sufferers: My heart overflows with grief for you all and is laden with sorrow that you are weighed down with this terrible burden that has been thrust upon us. May God be with us and comfort us all. "Yours in deep sympathy, "ELEANOR SMITH." Thinketh no evil.—I Corinthians, xil, 5. It is to be regretted that the meaning of generosity has been almost limited of late to liberality, which is only a part of it. True generosity is a phase of that charity or brotherly love and enthusiasm for humanity described by St. Paul in the thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians. When St. Paul says of this brotherly love that it "thinketh no evil," he means that it is generous. In its primary meaning generosity is magnanimity, broadness of mind, largeness of soul, openness of heart. The generous man is not suspicious; he "thinketh no evil;" he is not on the lookout for faults; he does not grub for scandal; he is not too critical. Remembering his own innumerable failings, he is lenient with others. No one would dare allow an acquaintance or a neighbor, let alone a professed enemy, make for him a cold-blooded catalogue of his faults, failings, weaknesses, meannesses, vices, angularities and all other things that appear objectionable. Reading such a list would fill one with despair. We would rather stand before the judgment seat of God than before the judgment seat of men. We appeal from earth to Heaven, from the judgment of men to the judgment of God. We say with David when he was offered a choice of punishment, "Let me fall into the hand of the Lord; but let me not fall into the hand of man." Even the tender mercies of most men are cruel. As one wishes to avoid being criticized, let him not criticise others. It is difficult to realize that to criticise originally meant to praise, and that when one spoke of criticising a poem, a picture or a piece of music he meant that he was going to pick out its excellences and dwell on them and enjoy them and hold them up for admiration. Now one means that he is going to search for the flaws and ridicule them. Like many of our good old families, the word has sadly degenerated. The meanest form of criticism is the silent, covert sort of those who Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer, And without sneering teach the rest to sneer: Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike, Just hint a fault, and hesitate dislike. We should be more than merely just to people; we should be generous. Napoleon once said that he did not care whether people loved him or not, provided all acknowledged his justice. Justice is certainly better than unfairness, but generosity is better than either. Men may be divided into three classes, as unjust, just and generous. The unjust man wants all he can get by fair means or foul. The just man wants all he can get rightfully; and he is willing to concede to others their full legal rights. He says, "Render unto all their dues, but no more." He says also, "Pay me that thou owest." He prides himself on willingness to pay every pound of flesh that he owes; but he exacts every ounce that is coming to him. The generous man is willing to forego many of his own rights and gives to others more than they can claim. Generosity is justice tempered with mercy and loving kindness. We read in the epistle to the Hebrews of "the spirits of just men made perfect." They are just men who have learned to be generous; who give good measure, shaken together, pressed down, heaped up, running over, and then some. The generous man thinks the best he can of other people; he makes allowances, excuses; puts the best possible construction on their conduct—not the worst possible. He neither looks for insults nor goes around with a chip on his shoulder. Diametrically opposed to generosity is cynicism. A cynic is a man who flatters himself that he has found mankind out; and he is mighty proud of his discovery. He is a superior being, quite knowing, and has his face branded with an irremovable sneer. He believes in nothing and in nobody. He pronounces religion to be hypocrisy, honesty a mere matter of policy, virtue only lack of opportunity to sin, and gentleness and humility only other names for cowardice. In his view no man is incorruptible; every one has his price. When he sees undeniable uprightness in anyone he puts it down to ignorance and inexperience. He maintains that it is unreasonable to pronounce any apparently good man honest until after he is dead and his books have been examined and his letters read. The generous man not only "thinketh no evil," but he "rejoiceth not in iniquity." One always looking for iniquity certainly rejoices in it. He gloats over a disagreeable discovery as carrion crows caw over a newfound carcass. His nose is built for bad odors. When he happens to find goodness where he expected evil, he is distinctly disappointed. He is a man not to be. trusted, because one who takes such delight in discovering evil in others must cherish those same qualities in himself. St. Paul says, "Unto the pure all things are pure; but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is de- filed." The generous man, however, is A noble brother. Whose nature is so far from doing harms That he suspects none. A proverb tells us to "believe every man honest until he proves himself a knave;" but the cynic says, "Believe every man a rascal until he appears to be honest, and then watch him all the more." Among statesmen there is a difference of opinion at present whether "a nation in time of peace should prepare for war." But no one asserts that the principle should be applied to individuals. Society would be in a terrible state if every man went armed; yet we are going armed against our brothers when we are always suspicious and are on our guard against them. The fact is, most persons try to be worthy of the trust reposed in them, and to live up to our good opinion. More mistakes are made by not trusting people than by trusting them. We may say of generosity what St. Peter says of charity, that it "covers the multitude of sins;" for the generous man shuts his eyes when he can to people's faults and throws over them the wide robe of his charity, that nobody else may see them either. We may say also of generosity what St. Paul says of charity, that it "believeeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things." Believe, hope, endure. It is mighty hard to believe in a man who has deceived us seventy times seven. Let us then try to hope for the best. If even that is impossible, we can, as a last resort, endure all things in the silence of charity.—Lewis Beeman Browne. NEW COLLAR AND CUFF SETS. With the return of long sleeves for afternoon house frocks, the dainiest of indoor collar and cuff sets are again to the fore and girls who always have on hand easily picked-up needle work are providing themselves with a variety of these neck and wrist accessories. One very charming model in these sets has a collar which fits over a high or a Dutch-necked bodice. It consists of a short, circular, front-closing guimpe surmounted by a two-inch band, finished with a turnover of exactly half its width. Worn with a high-necked bodice, only this turnover portion shows, while with a Dutch neck only the lower edge of the circular guimpe is concealed. The cuffs, extending half way to the elbow, are tumbler-shaped, that is to say, they increase in width very gradually from the wrist upward, and at their smallest or hand-edge, are finished with a turnover matching that on the collar, and, like the front of the guimpe, they fasten with cordage loops which fit over the tiniest of lingerie buttons and are no more difficult to manage than are the fastenings of a fine lingerie blouse. This model set is made up in the finest of Irish linen, in cambrle or in lawn, bordered with a narrow hem-stitching, with button-holled scallops or with a tiny frilling of real Valenciennes. It is also pretty and smart, developed in batiste, latticed with the narrowest of lace insertions, and thrifty girls are making it up in volle and lace, as these need not be sent to a laundress, but can be washed in a hand basin, shaken out and quickly dried in the sun precisely as is a fine handkerchief. Another charming model set which is quaintest when of heavy white linen and finished at the edges with a single row of stitching, has a high collar overlapped by a turnover, which at the back lengthens into a five-inch, sharply pointed V, and in front forms two Vs, one at either side of the hand closing. The cuffs, very narrow at the inner side of the sleeve, have Vs which lengthen into points, reaching half way to the elbow. For an accessory set for a velvet frock, this model is best in heavy lace and may be made at home by using all-over Irish or Venise or a good imitation of those meshes, and bordering them with a narrow edging, put on without fullness, and joined so that the finish will appear to have been woven with the main portion. If a line or a suggestion of color is desired with a collar and cuff frock or bodice set, the lawn or linen or lace may be embroidered with a colored silk, or net may be imposed upon satin of the desired shade as that very transparent fabric sheds rather than retains the dust, and accessories made of it may be worn any number of times before being cleaned. TO DESTROY INSECTS. This is the best time to wage successful war against insect pests which attack apple trees, such as the codling moth, woolly apils and others. The creatures are fewer in numbers at this time and most of them are dormant. Exposure to the weather is a very effective weapon to use. The pests make their headquarters under the bark and on the roots of the tree. To expose them in many cases all that is necessary is to give the bark a thorough scraping, which will remove the looser pieces under which the insects prefer to hide. A sharp hoe or bark scraper should not be used, but no harm can be done to the tree through an ordinary amount of pressure applied with a dull instrument. After scraping, the trees should be given a coat of whitewash, which will serve the double purpose of protecting the tree from weather in place of the loose bark removed and of killing many of the insects. The roots should be laid bare, and tobacco stems, of which a quantity can be obtained at a nominal rate from any cigar manufacturer, should be placed over them. The roots should then be covered again. a . _ <=. wa a CO 5 The Up-to-Date Tailors 218 WEST BROAD STREET, BETWEEN HULL AND OGLETHORPE AVE. The Latest Patterns in SPRING AND SUMMER COODS.

TERN SINKS AS THOUGH PRESS- ED INTO WAX—MAKING THE MOLDS. Cuttlefish bone is famillar to most peopte, as It is seen thrust between tho bars of a bird cage for birds to peck at. Birds clean-their beaks om it. and they Ilke to gat It, But cuttle- fish bone has other aid more Interest- ing uses. It is used Jn tbe manufac- ture of tooth powder and of polishing powder and !n tha making of a pre- pared food for birds, but perhaps the most Interesting of Its uses Is in the making of molds in which to cast sold rings. Some gold rings are cast in tiny flasks containing molds of fine sand; others are stamped out with a die. Wedding rings are made from a drawn tube of gold in which the rounded out- er shape of the ring is produced on a mandrel, the several sections thus formed being then sawed off even when finished and polfshed to form a perfect ring. But of the vast number of solfd gold rings produced by man- ufacturing jewelers, including rings ta be mounted with stones, 75 per cent are cast {n cuttlefish bone molds. Sach a mold can be used but once, and so the manufacturing © jeweler uses a Jot of cuttlefish Bone. The molds may be made in two, three four or five parts, according to “ne elaborateness of the ring to be mold- ed. The bone serves both as flask and as molding material. . Suppose the molder fs to make for a ring comparatively simple in shape a three part moh. He sits at a bench ‘on which he has brass patterns of the tings to be molded. The manufactur- ing jeweler has hundreds, many hun- dreds, of these pattern rings, to which: he fs continually adding. designs. Handy by, the molder bas a box of cuttlefish bone. Only bone of the fin- est quality and finest texture fs used, and such bone serves for this purnose admirably. Under pressure of an ab- sect upon it this bone breaks down ‘perfectly and with no surrounding fractures or fissures. It takes an {m- Pression practically as perfect as a plastic material would do, while at the same time it stands up perfectly around the impression made The molder takes a cuttlefish bone in its famftiar oval shape and with a little sharp-toothed saw saws off the tapering sides and the, ends. leaving a keyStone shaped or an oblong block. Then straight across he saws off one’ end of this block abont a quarter ef its length from the end, and then the larger piece he saws through from side to side mldway of its thickness. Now he has the original block of bone divided into three parts. He tubs the faco of each of these parts perfectly smooth on a meta! plate set before hJm convenlently in the bench, and then the material is ready for use as a mold. The molder turns one of the two bigger Blocks over on the bench with the smoothed surface up and picks up the model ring, and with a deft, sure touch he presses this model down for half its thickness all around into the delicate- ly fragile but evenly textured bone— this in the case of a three plece mold at one end of the block, leaving the head or cap of the ring projecting beyond the end edge. Next he picks up the other half of this block, turns its smooth face down and presses that down upon the ring as it Iles with half Its thickness projecting above the sur- face of the lower block, and now he has 2 mold of the ring complete ex- cept for th projecting head. . At this stage he picks up that end Piece of the bone that -he had cawed off and presses that with {ts smooth face down upon the ring’s head, so taking an impression of that, and then he has the mold complete, but with the model ring insfde of it. Now he scores lightly this model outside, across its side edges, and he scores lines from the top block to the sides, so that when he has taken the mold apart he can put it together again precisely as it should be, and then he opens it and takes out the pattern, and if anywhere the molded form should require a touch of smooth- ing he does that, and then, beginning small and opening out wider, he cuts out in the inner sides of the two halves of the big block from the bend of the ring mold out to the end of the block an opening, the gate. through which the molden gold will be poured when the ring is molded. Then he puts the pieces of the mold together again and binds them with soft wire, and thero’s your Cuttlefish bone mold perfect and complete. Sometimes they bind half a dozen A GOOD AMENDMENT.

FROM SLAVE BOY - TO STATESHAN How Frederick Douglass Rose MAN QF PRINCELY VIRIVUES— EVENTS IN THE LIFE OF THE GREAT ANTI-SLAVERY ORATOR WHICH FIRED HIS AMBITION AND MADE HIS TEACHINGS EF- FECTIVE—PLEADED CAUSE OF SELF AND RACE ELOQUENTLY. Great men are always a part of & great mavement. They are-called into the world to play an ‘important part in “the arena of thought and action. Few of them, however, are biessed with the span of life which enables them to witnesg the triumphant con- summation of their cause, as was the case of Frederick Douglass. But for the birth of Frederick Douglass in Tuckahoe, Md., in 1817, that, obscure village in Talbot county would hardly be known. His early surroundings were such as characterized every slave boy who witnessed the inhuman treatment of fellow slaves and heard stories of the capture of their fore parents in Africa. . The events !n the Hfe of Douglass, his transference to Baltimore, to St. Michael's; bls experience with the “slave breaker" Edward Covey and his escape from slavery In 1838, when he assumed the pame of “Douglass,” partly to hide his fdentity and partly as a “milestone” in his new life of freedom, are well known. His lectures under the Antl-slavery society at con- ventions and private gatherings, both in America and Europe, his publica- tion of his newspapers; his “Hfc nar- tative." “My BonYage and My Free- dom;" kis “Life and Times,” place Frederick Douglass before the Amerl- can public, and Indeed before the world, as one of its effective teachers. Some will deny him the title, say- ing that he was not a product of the schools; that he kept no school and could not in any sense be called an educator. df by an educator is meant one whose activities are confined to the narrow regimen of the schoolroom Douglass was not an edicator, but if we mean by the term one who carries within himself the princely virtues of the great teachers of mankind, who is an inspiration to all men by his words and work, who had knowledge and sympathy, interest, enthusiasm and aptitude for vicariousness> then Fred- erick Douglass was In every way an educator. He believed in the potentiality of every cilild born into the world, whether white or black. He believed that God had not bestowed his best endowments upon any single race or nation, and so he wrought for himself and his race to make actual what was potential. Mr.. Douglass, like a true educator, was a man of large vision. Where there is no vision the people perish. Brutalized himself by Amer- ican slavery. he eought to ald in the overthrow of the iniquitous system. When, therefore, the opportunity presented itself he threw himself with enthusiasm Into fhe anti-slavery strug- gle and lost no opportunity to téach men its horrors and to rouse them to its, hatred by his burning words. In Engiand and America he pleaded his own and the cause of his people with weeping words and eloquent tears and became perhaps the reightiest single force in teaching the iniquities of slav- ery{becat'se he had been a part of it. Douglas3 believed in his selfhood and in hix own possibilities, and out of the ho-rors of slavery he tried to rehabilitate the divine image stamped upon him. He made his good in- stincts self conscious. He taught lofty notions of personal, social and political life. He was discontented with whatever was on a low plane. He reached the mountain heights be- cause he soared like an eagle that bathes its wings in the noonday sun. No one cowld se Frederick Qouglass, | with his head rising “like a snow- capped peak” above those about him, without feeling the influence of, his presence. s Frederick Douglass was never ashamed of his color. He belleved In his black mother, his dark hued wife and attributed much of his success to his contact with them. He believed that he was part of a great race whose development had been retarded by untoward conditions, but who when thelr chains were once broken and their complete emancipation insured would rise up and demonstrate the divinity with which they were clothed. Douglass. like every true educator. was an honest patriot. He loved his country. When the Civil war broke out he offered his two sons to hie country’s cruse, while he -himself served {t with his eloquence. For these services he was honored. For years he was the most famous character in the District of Columbia, bee ca eee ae aE Flares of trumpets always notify us when an egotist is around, When another person talks, it's gos- sip; when you do it yourself, it’s conversation. a ° Your Money ' e 2 .

M. E. chnrches at Masonic Temple, Gwinnett St. W. The League was opened in the usnal way by Presi- dent, Mr. W.L. Vickers. The singing by the League choir was much enjoyed. After a prayer by Mr. C. P. Perry the league iudulved in reciting heart verses from the Bible. The league then de- parted from its usual way of exercise and had an exccllent sermon delivered by Dr. R. H. Singleton. Rev. Singleton took his-text from the Isaiah 49:31, sub- ject “Lite with wings.” Tho discourse was both logical and inspiring. The entreaties in the sermon were to aspire to the higher life. “Let nothing dis- courage, but press forward to noble things” wasemphasized After the ser- mon, on metion of Mr. W. O. P. Sher- man, Jr., the league extended Dr. Sin- gleton arising vote of thanks for his excellent discourse. This being Union League’Rally for the greaterSt. Philip’s building fund, the program was not rendered ongaccount of lack of time. The would-be participants were asked to hold themselves in reserve until the next meeting of the leasue which will be at Gaines Chapel Sunday, May 19th, ‘beginning at 5 o'clock p.m.” ‘The rally proveda success. ‘The different league contributions amounted to $21.00 and then the president of the Union League gave $3.00 thus raising the amount to $26.00 which amount will be used in putting in one of the small front win- dows at the new. church with “Union League” engraved init.
