The youngsters of ten years of age were not at all worried over the handicap which they were under when pitted against boys of twelve, but invari- ably they held their own and fought it out tothe tape, often out- classing the older boys. All the schodl yards at recess time during the past week have resembled a well regulated athletic field and instead of the boys being engaged in fights, they were busi- ly engaged in running, jumping and putting the shot. There has been an astonishing amdunt of enthusiasm and interest in these races shown by the boys and their willingness to engage in systema- tie training during recess time and after school should be an induce- ment for the grown persons of the community to turn out in large numbers on the 17th to cheer the boys on to victory. ‘The elimination trials for the older boys will begin Monday and by the middle of the week all the teins will have been selected. ‘Tickets for the games will Le on sale during the latter part of next week, and itis hoped by the mem- bers of the Negro Business and Professional Men‘s Association which is giving these games in the| interest of Charity Hospital, that the older persons will encourage the boys in these their initial ath- letic sports by purchasing them. It is very essential that the child- ren be urged to do” their best to: make these races a success and there is no better way of doing <0, than by securing tickets in advance. ‘Tickets will be on sale at many of the public places. A number of the girls of the schools have signi- fied the desire of selling tickets and it is expected that with every- body working for the «success of the races a record breaking crowd will be in attendance. The soliciting committee has been making a strenuous effort to get together a sufficient amount of money to offer appropriate prizes for the yarious events andj has met with fair success, | All persons who have not yet been approached by the committee and care to give to the cause may send their names to The Tribuneand a member of the committee will call upon them, Any amount will be greatly appreciated.

The meeting was culled to order by President f. R. Wright who after devotional exercises explain- ed to the brilliant gathering the purpose of the organization. Immediately after Président Wright's introductory remarks, by motion the organization was mace permanent with President Wright at its head and it was decided that it should maintain permanent of- fices in the city. je President Wright was then em- ‘powered-to appoint the chairmen lof the Various comuittees of the League, | There were several impromptu speeches made by many of those in the audience approving the League and these remarks were very enthusiastically received, Many of the ministers on the ros- trum also made short addresses. Atthe conclusion af the exer- cises of the evening light refresh- ments were served by the college boys. One of the most enjoyable treats of the evening was the delightful music rendered by the Knights of 'Pythias band under the leadership of Mr. James ‘Thomas. ‘The se- lections were magnificent and the audience showed itself very ap- preciative of the inspiring music that was rendered. _ The following are officers of the League : President—R.

EVERYBODY JOIN THE MOVEMENT FOR HEALTH AND SANITATION.” CLEAN-UP TODAY Delegates to National Conven- gon Greeted Tait. President Taft was greeted on his visit to Sayannah by several of the delegates to the Republican National Convention to be held in Chicago next month. All of these delegates pledged to sipport his candidacy - Among the delegates present were: Mr. B. J. Davis, Dawson ; Dr. W. F. Penn, of Atlanta: Mr. M. B. Morton, of Athens; Prof. Wm, James of Statesboro; Mr. S, S. Mincey of Ailey; Mr. A. Ni Fluker, of Argyle; Mr. Wm. Driskell, of Atlanta. CLEANING UP DAY. -_ To-day is Cleaning-up Day, the day designated by the conference of the Chamber of Commerce and the Negro Civic and Improvement League. It is. hoped that all of our people will enter heartily into the movement. There are hun- dreds of our people who daily keep their premises in tidy con- dition, but the great mass of us only do sospasmodically, some not at all; therefore in order to ‘make an average it is desired that every- ody join the cleaning up move- mentto-day- By entering heartily into this movement will encourage our white friends in their efforts ‘to adopt measures for improving our sanitary conditions. All of us have a chance to prove our inter- est in this movement by cleaning up our premises to-day. Young Brothers New Quarters | The Young Brothers who have been conducting for the past fours years the confectionery store in the Williams building, 369 West Broad street, moved into their new quarters in the recently erected annex to the Williams building on Friday a week ago. The new store which the Young Brothers are now oc- cupying takes up the entire ground floor of the new Williams building and is about twice the size of their old quar- ters, being about twenty three feet by sixtytwo. The new store will allow the Young Brothers sufficient room to dis- play their replete stock of confection- eries and cigars aside from affording ample space for about ten tab les. Tke improvements which the Young Brothers have already made to their business and those which they contem- plate making in the near future will give to the eitizens of Savannah one of the most up-to-date confectioneries op: erated by our people anywhere. The Tribune is pleased to note the prostess ‘which these young men are making and we take delight in commending them to the public. Another sign of the. pro- gressiveness of these young men is the two story dwelling and store which they are now erecting on the corner of 836th and Burroughs streets. Opening of Savannah Heme Association’s Reading Room. The musicians playing popular airs and flazs flying from the veranda on ‘Tuesday night about nine-thirty o’clock, announced the beginning of the formal opening of the Savannah Home Association’s Reading Room. In its beautifully decorated rooms there assembled about one hundred and fifty guests for the purpose of viewing its apartments and to enjoy the pleas- ures in store for them which were nade possible by the members of the club, The evening was one full of merriment and the many zuests enjoyed themselves to their hearts? content. On account of the large number of admirers that this club has, it was necessary to use three nights for entertaining their friends. On Friday night, it was indeed pleasing to behold those who as- sembled to enjoy the secoad night of the opening. ‘The music was delightful, and as the first night, it was enjoyable. So far the affair has proven a great success and it is expected that on Monday night, Which concludes the program, the festivities will reach the high standard, of the previous nights, and thus mark 2 successful open- ing of its reading room. The conducting of these events are in charge of a committee com- posed of Messrs. Ed. R- Collins, Joseph J. Brown, J. O. Miller, Jeff Moran and Albert Morris. The waiters tinder the direction of Mr. Thomas J, Williams, is very courteous and it was indeed a plea-| ure to be present on either of these oceasions. Pioneer Educator Dead The sad news has just reached us of the death of- Professor Thomas N. Chase, formerly connected with Atlanta Universitv. Professor Chase was one of the early teachers to come south af- ter the war and was connected with At- Janta University from its foundation until a fews years ago when he retired. Prof. Chase died on April 23rd at the home of his daughter. Mrs. Mary, C. Kirkland, in Bellows Falls, Vt. Pro- fessor Chase was one of the most be- loved teachers in the University and his death will be keenly felt. by scores of Atlanta University graduates and undergraduates who reside here. New Lodge Rocms The elegant lodge. rooms in the new addition to the Williams’ building 507 West Broad Street, are now, completed and ready for occupancy. The rooms are up-to-date in every respect, well lighted, well ventilated and very com- fortable. Information concerning them may be bad by writing, or seeing the owner, Mr Geo. S. Williams, Williams building, 507 West Broad street. Educational Mceting . e Friday Night 10th IN INTEREST OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY AT SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Friends of Higher Education To ‘Have Rare Treat—Several Lo- cal Educators to Take Part— Interesting Program Planned -A Large Crowd Expected Out—Free Will Offering to Be Made. On Friday night of next week, May 10th, at eight-thirty o’clock there will be held in the auditori- um of the Second Baptist church one of the most importart meet- ings in the history of the city. The meeting is to be under the auspices of the local Atlanta Uni- yersity Club and all friends of higher education are invited to be present: Ga? aN an V > SY? Ny Bash . Ly SE = F ‘ZB Ae “President Edw. Twitchell Ware, of Atlanta University, who is com- ing to the city especially for the meeting, will arrive here on the morning of the 10th. He will be the main speaker of the evening. President Ware is aman of a very pleasing personality and is one of the staunchest friends which the Negro has. He is the only son of the late Edmond Asa Ware, found- er of Atlanta University. President Ware is a very pleasing talker and a man of wide experience and broad ideas. - Ne isa graduate of Yale Univer- sity and Union Theological Semina- ry. President Ware has traveled extensively in both Europe and America and is most deeply inter- ested in the higher training of the Negro, He is a highly honored man by all élasses of people on ac- count of his altruistic spirit. He is deeply devoted to the work be- gun by his now sainted father and has refused many flattering offers in other fields preferring to remain in the South to render what ser- vice he can to the lowly. Doubtless there will be a very large number of friends of higher education who will ayail them- selves of the opportunity of being present at this meeting and a very enjoyable evening is anticipated.

For the-second time in its histo ry, the Georgia State College has been honored by a visit from the Chief Executive of the United States when on Inst Wednesday, May 1, President William H. Taft gave the school an extended visit. The President and his party re- mained on the college campus and geounds for more than an hour during which time the various de- partments of the ‘school were vis- ited and inspected. . In Meldrim Auditorium in which were assembled the officers, teachers, students and friends of the college, the PresideAt gave quite a helpful and interesting ad- /dress which was replete with ex- pression of optimism on the future the Negro as judged by his prog- ress of the past. The President’s' speeclr in part was as follows: “I am greatly affected by this company and these surroundings and’ it seems to meas if I were looking in the face of the solution of the Negro problem. * * * In the last twenty-five years the South has made greater progress than the North and you have taken a part init, [nam _ not deprecating and I will be one of the last_ones to deprecate the schools foe higher education for your race. You ; must have your leaders, ministers, , doctors, teachers and other profes- sional men, and those who fear money may be lost in doing so need'not worry, for the wealth of the country is not being wasted.” “The general character of the schools to uplift you are the in- dustrial schools. Such schools as those have been organized and helped by the beneficence of the South’s best citizens. ‘I take Gen. Meldrim as an example.” ““Phe trath is, and it is curious, that the American people should be introduced to the benelits of industrial education largely to help the Indian and the Negro. and in the South it may be said that the Negro has Jed the race in getting the benefits from industrial edu- cation.” : “This is the best world we hare, but my friend who is sitting here (referring to Rey. M. Ashby Jones, D.D., of Augusta.) will tell you of another world. But I don't see any of us hastening to gct there.” |. “It is well to have that in the future, but to be certain that we have assured us a place there, it were best to make good here. Make the effort to resent tempta- tion, keep your hearts up, and trust in those who are now helping you.” Gov. Jos, M. Brown followed President ‘Taft with a few con- eratalatory remarks on the work of the school. ‘The Hon. W. Burke Cockran of New York, who followed Governor ‘Brown, made quite a hit with the audience by his timely adéress-in whichhis complete mastery of the English language was evident. Mr. Cockran urged the colored people, to remain in the South where the trades are open to them. Hisspeech was well received. Among those in the presidential party were: President Taft and his aid, Maj. Rhodes, Hon. Joseph M. Brown, Goy. of Georgia, Hon. M. Burke Cockran, of New York, Rey. M. Ashby Jones, of Augusta, President P. W. Meldrim, of the Hibernian Society, Mayor Geo. W. ‘Tiedeman and others. Sayannah Delegates Departed Yesterday. The Savannah delegates to the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church which is to cohvene in Kansas City, Mo., on the 5th of this month, departed yesterday morning at-6:45 o’clock. ‘There were about twenty in the party which left by private Pull- ~ man over the Central of Georgia. The Savaanah deleyation will join the Florida, North Georgia, South- west and Central Georgia and Beaufort delegates at Atlanta, Ga., and will travel to Kansas City ina special train known as the A- M.

If you are one of the lucky mortals s00n to cross the briny to other lands remember that the less luggage you take the greater will be your comfort in traveling. . First of all, you will need a warm steamer rug. Also a wrap of extra heavy thick mess to wear on shipboard. A close fitting soft hat is necessary for comfort when sitting in a deck chair. The wrap will be found useful te slp on during a night journey in a rallway carriage. Even fn southern Europe, where the days are warm, the nights are often chilly. Have a well made traveling sult of a color that will not show the dust. Have your hat trimming of the sort that will withstand wind, weather and hard wear. ‘Take two pair of sensible walking shoes. . It will be found economical to have the traveling blouse of the color of the sult. ‘This may be brightened by lingerie collars and cuffs. . You will need at least one pretty costume for dinner and dressy occa. sions. A kimono is, of course, indispensa ble. Rubbers and umbrella should not be forgotten. A fancy blouse for afternoon wea should also be included. Nearly all the above mentioned ar ticles may be packed in one large sultcase or a carryall, if it is not de sirable to take a trunk along. * THE TROTTEUR SKIRT. Womep may prepare themselves to receive full effects, more draperies and even trains for indoor wear; but they need not be prepared to let tailor gowns get out of hand. A certain amount of slimness is essential for comfort, atid the reverse to scantiness may easily become too weighty. But the armiters of feminine fate In the dress world have provided for this, and ‘the fashionable paneled skirts conceal thelr width in knife pleated folds which are only discov- ered when walking, and which drop neatly back Into place at once. Nel: ther are women to be asked to re- hownce established habit of wearing the tallormade well off the ground. ‘The reign of the train in outof-door suits will not be of very Iong dura- ton. One of the charms of taffets is that tt can be mated successfully to other materiits, and little face cloth coats are being made to wear with some ot the new dressesiin this material. RAISED CORNBREAD. Heat a pint of milk almost to bolil- Ing and pour it upon a cup and a halt ‘of com meal., Let It stand until cool; then stir, in a half yeast cake dis- solved in a half cup of warm water, a tablespoonful of sugar and a half a cup of white flour. Let this rise over- might In a corner which is not too ‘warm or five or six hours Ina kitchen at the ordinary temperature. It should rise to double its original size. Stir in then a tabléspoonful of melted butter, a half teaspoonful of salt and two Beaten eggs. Beat hard, turn into muffin tins and set in a warm place to rise for fifteen minutes before baking. It will require about twenty minutes fn a steady oven. Eat hot. ‘CRANBERRY FLUFF. dis — Ag llke cranberry puff, as would be expected. Cook one pint of cranber- ries In one-quarter pint of water un- til the cranberries pop open, and then run them through a colander. Add the same amount of sugar as there 1s berry pulp by measure and boll the ‘ewo together until they are as thick as marmalade. When cool agi the whites of four eggs beaten stiff. Fold ‘well together and bake until it sets— from five to ten minutes. Serve cold in sherbet glasses with whipped cream snd chopped nuts. * CRISP COOKIES.

The ideal home {s not self-centered. It Is a center of service. So far as clr- cumstances will, permit, the old-time Ideals of hospitality should be main- tained. In wise and uplifting ways the home should be shared. It is a good practice to invite young people who aro away from home. It relieves loneliness, discouragement and temp- ase. Remember it ts: “Not what we glre, but what we share. sthe'eit without the giver is bare.” "The home 1s the bulwark of clvitiza ‘tion. Within the. extreme limits of wealth and poverty a home may be ‘good or bad, Irrespective ot soclal po- ‘sition or property. Our homes aro what’ we choose to make them. It 1 a question of what we admit and what Wo keep out of them.

Few women know what a real sav- ing it Is to have a little FFench chalk on hand. There is nothing better for removing many a spot from garments, especially when they are of silk. Cover the spot well with the chalk, and do not disutrb it for at least twenty-four hours. Then cover- the "chalk with a plece of brown paper and iron, pressing quite bard, with a fnottoorhot iron. French challc often will remove stains from woolen fab- rics, but is not so invariably success fu}. Better than the chalk for grease on woolen fabrics is a mixture of alco- hol and chloroform in equal parts. Here, too, the warm iron comes into play. Beforo applying the liquid, coy- er the spot with a plece of brown pa- per and fron over it. PICKLED PIGS FEET. Put the clean fect in enough, boil- ing water to cover them and cogk till the meat fe about to drop from tho bones. Do not add more water, but be careful not to scorch them. ‘There should bo a quart or more liquid when finished. Take out the feet and set the liquid aside to cool. When the grease is hard on top remove it and return the jelly—for it will bo Jolly by this tlme—to the fire. Add one quart of vinegar to the bot broth and pour the whole over the feet. If they are not salted and peppered when put on to boil add the seasoning to the hot liquid. A small bag of mixed spices (about one tablespoonful tied in a thin cloth) may be added if the favor fs Itked. 2 MEAT LOAF WITH TOMATO. DRESSING. Any leftover meat from Saturday or Sunday may be utilized for this dish. To three cups of ground meat add ono of bread crumbs, moisten with warm milk, If the mixture seems dry, ada one beaten egg and season palatably with salt, pepper. a bit of curry or any desirable dry herb. Fashion into a loaf on a buttered pan, cover witn flour or bread crumbs and bake. To make the dressing use one cup of to- matoes which have been pressed through a sleve, nicely seasoned and thickened with flour or corn starch; cook until smooth and pour tho dress- Ing over the browned beef before serving. Garnish with parsley. DELICIOUS TOAST. A woman who prides herself on the toast she serves gives very simple dl- rections for making this usual break- fast accompaniment. Use bread at least two days old; cut the allces evenly, and put them in a moderately warm oven for a quarter of an hour. Then put the bread on the broiler of the gas stove or over the live coals of the kitchen range and let it come to a delicate, brown. It is then all crum- bly and brittle clear through and a dish you can eat with a relish. There will not be a pasty soft portion of bread between two indifferently browned aides. Bread which és seared too quickly will be sure-to be pasty. that Is, If the bread fs fresh and not dried out in the oven first. OAT WAFERS. Mix together one-half cupful of rolled cats, one-halt cupful of wheat preparation, one cupful of flour, two tablespoonfuls of sugar and one-half teaspoonful of salt. Work in three tablespoonfuls of butter until well blended, then add slowly enough hot water to hold the ingredients togeth- er. Toss onto a floured cloth, shape. divide In two or three parts, roll each as thin as posaible, cut in finger strips with a sharp knife. Bake on a but- tered skeet in a slow oven until dell- cately browned. ‘The seasoning for these cakes may be one-half teaspoon- tul of vanilla, a grating of nutmeg (the least speck in the world) or a. few drops of rosowater. Try them. BOOKER WASHINGTON AT mm (By BRADLEY GILMAN.)” ne ee Sees See ad nares tm Florida at thts season. There are the oranges; or you may like better the golden grapefrut; or you may pre. fer to “pot” alligators; or you can study the evolutions of the turkey: buzzards, as they drift and soar on the air-current, putting Glonn Curtiss and the Wright brothers to the bad, with thelr deftly-polsed rugged, sooty wings. If none of these things faterest you, there is the negro; always the negro, bearing about with him his problem, standing—to the thoughtful, serious tourist—itke.a heavily-londed tnterro- gation mark, on the southern page of American history. What shall we do about him? What can he do about himeelf? What answer fs he giving tn Florida to bis own: embodied !n- terrogation? Booker T. Washington, the world- famous educator, is wisely and brave- ly giving his answers to this problem. Ho hac recently completed an elgnt- days’ journey: through the land which Ponce de Leon discovered, but he did not travel there in search of the foun- tain of oternal youth; he went with a dozen friends and helpers to Pensa- cola, thence to Tallahassee, Ocala, Tampa, Jacksonville and other points, and addressed vast audiences of whites and blacks, and gave such wise, hopeful words of counsel that bis own people responded to him with en- thuslasm, and his white hearers—even 4m the regions made notorious by tynchings—expressed approval and urged him to come again and deepen the good Influences which he had al- ready established, This “misstonary journey” was one of several which Dr. Washington bas made through southern states? {t was under the direction of M. M. Rewey, president of the Colored Men's Bust- ness league of Florida. The object which Dr, Washington bas had tn view tn all these tours has been to ascer- tain the conditions existing among his own people and their relations to the white race, and to encourage public sontiment in the direction of plain ele- mental and industrial education for negroes. The state governments al- ready do something in the direction, and private individuals help, but not over 5 per cent. of the total Diack Poptilation of tho south 1s affected by schools like Hampton, Tuskegee and others. Many of the public school superin- tendents see the need.of a more gen- eral education for the blacks, but are thwarted by an adverse publle sentt- ment. This sentiment, hostile or 1- different, must be distinctly altered for good by Dr. Washington’s tmpas- stoned addresses to such large audt- ences In so many centers of popula- tion. Ho does what more elonuent and theoretical speakers often do not: he changes the Ideas and the feelings of his auditors; people who have heard thfs great man speak to audt- ences in the north have little idea of his addresses to southern gatherings, where he has his own people before bim, and has also a considerable num- ber of white people who begin the session tn fll-concealed enmity, The dramatic situation at L— t shall never forget; the famous negro leaders faced over 200 white men— about a fifth of his total audtence— who sat with scowls of distrust on thelr faces, until his kindly appeats to their reason and better selves soft- ened them ‘and made them bis friends. Probably almost every man tn that white group carried a pistol; one or two weapons were displayed openly: some of those men must have taken part fn the barbarous lynchings which disgraced the town fifteen months ago: but, like a lon facing jackals, and veritably with the royal mten of that king of the forests; Dr. Wasbing- ton stood forth from his little group of friends alone and gave battle: a battle of right and reason against Ig- morance and prejudice; and he won; and some of those men sald in my hearing afterward, that he was a great man and that-the negro ought to be given a fair chance, I made the similar trip with Btr. Washington through Mississippi three years ago; and all my observations and reflections on that journey were confirmed by what 1 saw on this pres- ent trip through Florida. There 1s only one solution of this vast problem in the south; the negroes are to re- main om the’ land; therefore, common sense dictates that they be educated {n the simple branches of book edu- cation, and trained n somo industriat pursuit: and then given a chance to “make good.” That. {s all that their two are closely bound together, tyran- ny and cruelty, on tho part of the | whites, show in-their faces, and can also be read fn the constraint and caution and timidity of thelr black neighbors; aud again, where you tind the blacks frank and joyous, as ts thelr nature; you may be sure that the whites of that region are just and broad-minded and kindly, as 1s char- acteristic of people really civilized. What I here write comes from close personal observation; and I say that the bitter enemies which the negro has in the south aro the ignorant sen- sual “crackers” the vicious lower classes of the whites; the higher grades of white men tend toward jus- tice and patience and encouragement, in their treatment of the as yot- im: mature black race; sometimes, when election ts at hand, some. educated white candidate will indulge In* pub- Mc denunciations of “niggers”; but this fs usually for political effect; he 4s after the ignorant “cracker” vote; and very likely he is the friend and helper of a half-dozen colored nelgh- bors. At Tallahassee I overheard signiti- cant comment on the closing. words of Mr. Washington's address, made from: a bandstand on the common; a group of white men had been Mstening close- ly, and I feared sullenly, to the speak- er’s words; then, at the close one of them spoke to the others, concisely, solemnly: “That's true, what he says about our trusting each other; you ‘know we have left today, part of our families at our homes, outside, with ‘our niggers; and there's nobody else in God's world we'd have trusted them with.” A charming and effective feature of the program of most of these Florida meetings was the singing by the blacks in the audfence (usually a thousand of them) of the real “songs of slavery”; not the tawdry negro- minstrel songs of later white compos- ‘ers, but the quaint old folk-songs ot fifty and more years ago; the singing was led by Major Moton of Hampton, that sweet-voiced singer, with the physique of a Hercules and the sen- sibilities of a girl of seventeen. This singing seemed to bring the various elements in the audlencs together, be- fore Dr. Washington gave bis address; and it revealed the poetry and sontl- ment of thts patlent, tolling, loving race, as they groped their way out of thelr captivity, singing as they camo, with fa{th in their God and contitenco in the day-star which was rising out of their night of gloom. Many a time I have heard the dic- tum laid down by over-contident prophets Ike Thomas Nelson Page, that (he negro was capable of a mod- erate degree of academic education, Dut could never go very high. In re- buttal, let me say that one of the members of Dr. Washington's party through Florida was a young colored man who fs a graduate of Harvard, also of Oxford as a Rhodes scholar, and I have rarely met any man, of any race (as a Harvard man I speak) who possessed & more genuine and unostentatious cultivation of mind than does this young man, not in man- ners and voice alone, but in tastes and inner standards he 1s among the best graduated from our universities. Somebody will respond, “He {s only an exception.” Such was the comment made ten and twenty years ago, as young negro men came up, singly and by twos and threes, into the ranks of the professions: but those “excep- tions” are ‘now too numerous to be longer called “exceptions,” there aro scores and hundreds of them In tho south; and simflar results will bo reached In the case of colored men of Mterary and esthetic taste; the num- ber is steadily increasing. It Is high time that we Iafd’ aside the bugaboo of “social equality.” Ur. Washington and other educated col- ored men condemn all movements of ther race in this direction; they urge, +with great earnestness, that the ne- groes keep to thelr own social life, that they develop all they can of civil- Ization, withii thelr own borders; whatever mingling of the races thera may be In the business lite Is easily arranged, but, socially, colored men and women are urged to keep apart by themselves, and already, in sev- eral southern cities I havo becn ad- mitted, on my rounds of journaltstic inquiry, into many charming negro homes, where good taste was the rule and the good offices of a genuine and tactful hospitality were extended to me. At the close of Dr. Washington's address at Tampa, I accosted, pleas- ‘TEN YEARS OF EDUCATIONAL - PROGRESS IH HORTH CAROLINA Mr. J, ¥, Joyner, superintendent ot of public Instruction for this state, has just given to the public a state- ment of educatfonal progress in North Carolina during the last de- bcade. From this statement it appears that there were 238,000 colored chil- dren of school age in 1910 and 497.000 white, making a total of 735,000 with an average school term of 105 days for white and 94 for colored. It is also gratifying to note that this in- crease in days has been marked by 28 per cent. as to white and and 20 Per cent..as to colored,.and there 1s put forth plans and suggestions which ‘It enacted into law will so increaze ‘the school term throughout the state ‘fe to make it not less than six months anywhere, Such measures cannot but meet with the hearty ap- proval of all evén though they call for increased taxation. Experience bas shown that those states are for- ward in materfal character and Strength of thelr public schools. The ‘backwardness of the south {s due more to the decadence of their public ‘schools than to any other cause, and ‘her present awakening 1s also pro- Portionete to the seriousness with ‘which she has, greppled with the pub- Ue schoot problem. ‘There is more, however. There are 8,369 white teachers in the state and 2,793 colored with average monthly salary for white teachers amounting to $24.47 and colored $23.48. The con- clusion is obvious that the colored ‘teacher controls a larger number of pupils for about two-thirds the pay and besides works under time. This is a hardship which the colored teach- ver must bear until the change comes. There {s certainly no clearer reason fdr thie dirth of colored teachers for the rural schools than that given by the above facts. A man can make more at common labor and have & steadier job than he can teaching school for $23 a month, and a good cook or laundress might find her monthly balances far in excess of that of her sister who teaches a colored school. This lack of adequato salary for colored school teachers makes school teaching a makeshift which in the end proves unsatletactory to both the teacher and the state. Some plan will eventually be provided which will assure the teacher a living salary and thereby cause a larger number of trained men and women to devote thelr lives to this Hue of race uplitt. It is noted that no word is said by the superintendent about compulsory education. This is of course a ques- tion upon which honest men may dif- fer. Still there appears many cogent reasons’ why North Carolina should have such a law, and enforce It. The masses of the people of the state need education of such kind and char- acter as will make them better citi- zens. The industrial turn which all education of the masses !s taking spells a new day for the development of the resources of our state and country. Should North Carolina take the lead tn providing adequate and necessary facilities for the intellectual and industrial training of both races and make It compulsory for every’ one of school age to be trained until he has acquired enough book learning for tho purposes of his life work and enough skill to make a living with his hands? Such policy if adopted and adhered to would make North Carolina the model state of the Whiskers, FIGHTING CONSUMPTION TUBERCULOSIS EXHIBITION CAM. PAIGN IN MISSISSIPPI DOING MUCH GOOD. Columbus, Miss.-Some real results are belog reported from the tubercu losis exhibition campaign among the colored people. Principal W. I. Mitch ell of Union Academy, tho colored school, has written the following let ter: “I am sure the older puplis were very much benefited by visiting the exhibition. They have reduced to practice some things learned thero. They now have thelr own drinking cups. They cooperate heartily tt keeping thelr rooms clean, They ate better prepared to listen to talks from thelr, teachers along lines of health and cleanliness. ‘ “The younger students under ten years of age will remember that they went to tho ‘Locus’ exhibition, and after-a while the full meaning of tt will dawn upon them. Furthermore, the fact of their going tnterestod their parents and caused many to visit the exhibition who otherwise would not have been there. Since the ex- hibition has been here 1 have screened my kitchen and dining room, installed city hydrant water and made other sanitary Improvements.” PRESCRIBING A DIET. Str Richard Jebb, the eminent physt- clan, was'a man of irritable temper, and when bored by the querulous complaints of some of his patients could not always force himself to re- turn a civil answer. A troublesome patient, whose illness was purely tm- aginary, pestered him one day with questions as to what ho should eat. “My directions on that potnt,” said Sir Richard, “will be few and simple. You must not eat the shovel, poker cr tongs, for they are hard of diges- tion; nor the bellows, for they are windy; but’anything else you please.” The Mission of Silent | Charity A Sermon The part, which any one plays towards the development of the com- munity in which he lives, { 80 great an asset to his credit, whether It con- sista in the establishment of enter- prises, the regulation of social systems or the removal of abuses. But what- ever might be the character, of the work undertaken, It must be Femoyed from selfish motives In order to be- come ettective. If the good deedg wo ‘perform are the results of policy, ‘small thanks we get for reward; ‘because those who are the recipients of our benefits will question our sin- cerity. Charity is a foster paront to benevolence; but in the bestowal of her patronage, {s forgetful of self and seeks, without glare or ostentation, to Telleve the wants of the needy. In the varied pursuits of Iife, human en- deavors are colthed with many wiles which parade themselves on occa- sions, and cry loudly: “These are we;" but when measured as to thelr valuation, there 1s lttle to be cor- ‘mended. In the careers of {ndtvid- uale, emergencles, sometimes, arise to test the extent of sympathy; yet. true sympathy needs uo coaxing, It leaps upon its feet unbldden of un- sought to settle the claim of duty. The abode of misery and despair 1s her place of resort: and there sho alds fn dispelling care. Conditions of things might be bettered and through personal efforts, the lot of those who lead a forlorn existence might be ren- dered happier, wittout the knowledge of the outside world, save through tke sunbeams whtch brighten the countenance of those who fall in for- tune’s wake. There are crude concep- tions respecting the obligations of man; and nothing enhances a servico so nobly as disinterested performance. Human nature {s greatly mixed with the virus ego, which often spoils the beauty of our acts, and leaves de- formity In its stead. Loving favors voluntarily spring from the source at pure desires, and baptize the deserv- ing with copious showers of blessing; but the footsteps are soft and easy. In all things undertaken, there aro some prejudices to be overcome, and errors to be uprooted, though, public weal be the issue; but honest en- deavor can always stand the test of keenest criticisms, of bereft of sinis- ter purposes. Self-denial Is a comely virtue ever anxious for the promotion of another's joy; but merits its ap- Proval from the pleasure it takes in performing its task in silence. Good Samaritans are necessary, and that tribe should be encouraged in every town and hamlet; but true nobility of alm should be the mainspring which sets benevolence in motfon, and Prompts the flow of that charity which heals our mutual woes. For the right let us dare to do. For the cause of humanity let us strive to win the laurels our exertions would demand; but leave the accomplishment to the approval of Jehovah and the heraldry thereof to the bugle of mankind, Thus will the memory Hfo, after life shall have departed. “BOB” TAYLOR'S BEST STORY. He was President Taft's favorite story-teller. Once the president want- ed to get away from his official duties for a few days, and that social soul invited half a dozen senators to go with him. One was Taylor, He spun one yarn, “and after, that,” sald one of the other senators who was on the trip, “none of us could get a word in with the president. He spent that en- tire trip listening to ‘Bob,’ and he kept him laughing the whole time. Laugh? T never knew a man to laugh so much in my life." His best-known story has slace been plagiarized and extended to geographi- cal localities unknown te “Bob;" but here {8 the story as {t emerged in pristine beauty from Taylor's reper- tolre. A mountaineer who had never ridden on a railroad decided to take advantage. of the $2 excursion rato to Memphis and saw for the first time a large city. What chiefly interested him was the bars. He had never seen a bar nor a highball; he had been used to drinking “liquor” out of a gourd. After he had visited a number of these marvelous places his enthystasm over- came him, and he addressed the crowd thus: “I can lick any man in the United States.” The crowd ‘laughed good-naturediy. This infuriated the mountaineer. “I can lick any man in Shelby county-” he yelled. This time the crowd 80- bered and looked at him with hostile eyes. “I can Mck any man in Mem- phis!" he shouted. A short thick-set man emerged from the crowd and put. him out of action with a right-arm swing. When he came to tke moun- taineer looked around feebly, and sald: “I reckon that in that last propo- sition I kivered too much ground.” * SENATORIAL COURTESY, Senator Vardaman of Mississippt was making his maiden speech in the senate. “ply brain reels at the idea!” ho shrleked. “My soul {8 consumed with. in me!

The Farm VALUE OF CLOVER AS FEED. We have found both with work and Unless alfalfa is grown on the farm, every effort should be made to grow clover, as it is one of the very best feeds in animals' rations that can be used. It can be fed to advantage to absolutely every animal on the farm, from poultry to cows and horses. It is of supreme excellence for dairy cows giving milk, and for growing young animals of all kinds. The reason clover is such an excellent feed is that it contains a large percentage of protein and mineral matter, the essential compounds for animal growth and production that corn, timothy hay, corn stover and many other common feeds are deficient in. It is a rich fed, and its composition is such that animals fed on it will make fine growth of muscle, lean meat and bone impossible with many other feeds. The protein and lime in it are just what chickens need for laying eggs and cows for giving a strong flow of milk. These same food compounds are the essentials for making blood, bone and muscle, with young animals, and for producing rapid and economical gain in weight. Well-cured clover hay is one of the best rough feeds in winter for horses, cattle, colts, calves, sheep and even hogs will eat it to advantage. Those who have never tried feeding clover hay to pigs in winter will be surprised to find how greedily the little animals will take to it, and how well they will thrive on it as a supplement to corn and other less bulky feeds. Clover leaves, heads and chaff can always be used to advantage in feeding pigs and poultry, either dry or mixed with wet mashes. Perhaps the greatest advantage of having a good supply of clover hay for feeding in winter and at other seasons, is that it is an aid in balancing up the animals' rations. Most of us do not feed rations that are anywhere near balanced as to actual food compounds for the best normal growth or production. The majority of our feeds are rather too rich in starches, or carbohydrates, and poor in protein and mineral matter. By feeding all corn, corn stover, timothy hay and like feeds, we are giving the animals only a part of the necessary elements for life's needs. As a consequence, the animals do not grow and produce as they should. The way to make a big hog from a plg, a big cow from a calf, or a big horse from a colt, on the least feed with the greatest economy, and in the least time, is to give these young growing animals a variety not only of feeds, but of feeds that contain a great variety of food compounds. Clover hay, as shown by actual chemical tests and practical feeding experiments, contains fully as much food value as wheat bran, and is worth as much, pound for pound, as the latter. In fact, clover is very similar to wheat bran in its composition, containing a large percentage of protein and mineral matter. On our own farm in growing hogs, horses and dairy animals, as well as poultry, we grow, harvest and store a good quality of clover hay every year. Through all the seasons some clover hay is fed to all the animals. The dairy cattle receive the greatest amount because of its excellence in milk production, and for promoting strong growth with calves to be grown for dairy use. Many farmers depreciate the value of clover hay as a feed for horses and colts. This is a mistake. There is no better feed, when used with judgment, for either work animals or for growing horse or mule colts. The mistake many make in feeding clover hay is that when they feed, they feed all clover and nothing else. It must be remembered that clover is a very rich feed, and that not more than one-half the quantity is required as of timothy or similar rough feeds. Also, clover, being very rich in protein, should always be used, with work horses especially, in connection with feeds of a more carbonaceous nature, such as timothy hay and corn. During the last of January we fed our young and old horses wheat straw with clover, hay and ear corn. The clover furnishes the protein for blood and flesh, while the corn and straw furnishes bulk and heat-forming material. The horse mangers are filled with clean straw morning and evening, and to each mature animal three ears of corn, and four or five pounds of clover hay are given. The corn and clover are eaten first, and then the animals eat as much of the straw as they wish, which is never a large amount, but which varies according to the taste of the animal and the condition of the weather. When the horses are worked at this season, they are given about twice as much clover and corn as when idle, with the same amount of straw or corn stover. It is poor economy, and perhaps dangerous in some cases, to pile horses' mangers full of clover hay when they are idle. By eating all they will, they take too much protein, or nitrogenous, matter. into their systems than they can economically assimilate, hence some form of kidney trouble may arise. Clover should be fed to horses by the handful, rather than by the armful, and some corn and lighter hay should always be fed with it. We have found both with work animals and with growing colts that by the moderate use of clover hay given through all the seasons, about one half of corn and other heavy grains can be saved. Our horses like clover hay about as well as they do the best grain feeds, and frequently they will eat the clover hay, before the grain, so well do they like it. The man who attempts to conduct a dairy without clover, alfalfa or other leguminous hay is working to disadvantage, to say the least. Where clover will not naturally catch and grow on the farm, a stand may be secured by planting the field to cowpeas and then giving the surface of the soil a light dressing of stable manure. Where the ground is covered with stable manure and clover seed sown, a good stand is almost sure. The decomposing manure seems to carry the right germs for inoculation and the right elements to make the young plants grow. H. J. W. GOOD PLOWING. There are few occupations where good work shows as much as on the farm. Plowing is the first operation in the production of all common farm crops, and if not well done it is hardly logical to expect good results, even though the other operations are well performed. Good plowing means completely loosening, stirring and pulverizing the soil to the desired depth. Simply making the ground black by plowing a shallow furrow and turning it over on a narrow strip that is unplowed can hardly be called good plowing. The proper depth of plowing will depend greatly on the character of the soil, but it is a sofe proposition to state that, as a rule, it would pay to plow Minnesota soils deeper than they are now plowed. In many heavier soils there is little opportunity for root growth or the liberation of plant growth beneath the furrow slice, owing to the density of the soil. Deeper plowing would certainly increase the depth of the available soil, make the soil capable of holding more moisture, alter it more completely, cause the liberation of more plant food, and certainly greatly increase the productive power of the farm without the necessity of buying additional tracts. It is always pleasing to see straight unturn, well-turned furrows, with all vegetation turned completely over. It is pleasing not only to pass-by, but to the man doing the work—Minnesota Agricultural College. HAVE A FIXED PURPOSE. "We can't succeed at anything unless we have something definite in view if we plod along from day to day with no fixed purpose leading us, we never know what the result is going to be except that history will repeat itself and no great measure of success will be attained. "The farmer who wishes to make a specialty of dairying should have something more definite in mind than merely having a lot of cows around him. He should keep only dairy cows, these cows which convert their feed into milk. He must have those cows which are characterized by the same general conformation, i.e. spare quarters and big, deep middles. There are other characteristics of the good cow, but these two are the most tangible ones. Many men have failed to make dairying pay because they have tried to run the business with no definite aim in view. That is the reason they failed. "This doesn't necessarily mean that he cannot follow diversified farming. It simply means that he should have something definite in view and work along that line until success has had time to crown his efforts."—Blue Valley Bulletin. THE BACON BREEDS. No matter whether you choose the Berkshire, Poland China, Duroc Jersey or O. I. C. as your favorite breed of hogs, when they go upon the block they are practically all the same, the lard type of hog, says the Kansas Farmer. One is sometimes led to wonder if there is not more room in the corn belt for the bacon type as well. The different breeds of the lard type are splendid and have done more for this country perhaps than any other money-making machine, but all men are not alike, and many prefer some one of the bacon breeds. This fact and the increasing demand for them make it seem sure that there is a profitable field of usefulness for the man who-best likes the Yorkshire, Hampshire or Tamworth. CLOVER FOR SWINE. The Missouri university experiment station estimates that 30 per cent of grain may be saved if forage crops are used in feeding hogs. Using forage crops, it was found that $3\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of grain would produce a gain of 1 pound in the hog, while 5.6 pounds of grain is needed if forage crops are not used. The same experiments revealed that an acre of clover would support from six to ten-head of swine for four months. It would require about twenty or thirty acres of clover to furnish forage for enough hogs to consume 1,000 bushels of grain. AN EDUCATED ZULU SPEAKS The following address delivered at the First Interstate congress of South Africa by Mr. John L. Dube will be read with interest. Mr. Dube is a native Zulu, educated in America, and started some years ago in South Africa an industrial school on somewhat the same lines as that of Tuskegee institute. Mr. Dube has made himself to such an extent the leader of his own people in South Africa, that he has been chosen the first president of the first Interstate Native congress. His address follows: Gentlemen of the South African Native Congress: It is meet that my first word to you should, be one expressive of my high and heartfelt appreciation of the confidence which my countrymen assembled in Boemfontein have thought well to repose in me, and of my thanks for this unique honor, all unexpected and undeserved, which they have thrust upon me. Not even present at their gathering (having been unavoidably debarred that pleasure by pressing educational and editorial calls at home), they nevertheless went out of their way to seek me out in this remotest corner of Natal and to elect me the first president of this the first interstate Native congress of all South Africa. For this kind act I now do thank them and the dignity bestowed I hereby formally accent. Gentlemen, it seems to me that the day of our race's renaissance is at length at hand, indeed it would not be inappropriate to mark this 8th day of January, and in future years so to commemorate it as the "red letter day" of our people's hopes, as the birthday of our existence as a political entity in this new South Africa. I say this "New South Africa!" for the South Africa we see today developing before us is no more the South Africa known to our fathers. Yet none the less will it be the home and native land of our children. And for them we have to make straight the path and prepare a comfortable "place in the sun." Although, as a race we possess the unique distinction of being the first born sons of this great and beautiful continent; although as a race we can claim an ancestry more ancient than almost any round about us, yet as citizens of the glorious British empire, we are the last born children, just awakening into political life, born on the 8th day of January, in this the year of grace 1912. Yes; politically, new-born babes, we are still very young and inexperienced, and as such we behooves us to feel our way slowly and warily. While teaching ourselves to walk boldly and uprightly before all mankind, we must still be careful ever to seek out the way where wisdom (not mere sentiment or desire) leadeth, treading softly, ploddingly, along the bright path illumined by righteousness and reason—the steep, steepy path, yet only one that will safely and surely lead us to our goal, the attainment of our rightful inheritance as sons of Africa and citizens of the South African commonwealth. Many are the difficulties I foresee in our way—enemies without, fierce but frank; dangers within, undesigned perhaps, but still more harmful. It will be an uphill fight, but our watchword shall be "Excelsior;"—Onward, higher; cautiously, ploddingly! By dint of our perseverance, our patience, our reasonableness, our law-abiding methods, and the justice of our demands, all these obstacles shall be removed and enemies overcome. We have been distinguished by the world as a race of born gentlemen—a truly glorious title, bestowed on few other people!—and by the gentlenes of our manners (poor though we may be, unlettered and ill-clad) and by the nobility of our character shall we break down the adamantine wall of color prejudice and force even our enemies to be our admirers and our friends. Gentlemen! for better or for worse, you have selected me to be for the nonce your president. As I trust you will therefore permit me to indicate the way, and I trow I shall never lead you astray. For while I shall at all times endeavor to be a straight goer, I propose also to be a strong leader—not one dragged by the nose, still less one pulled by the tail, for as already said, my war-cry is—Onward! Upward into the higher places of civilization and Christianity—not backward into the slump of darkness, nor downward into the abyss of antiquated tribal systems—our salvation is not there, but in preparing ourselves to take an honored place among the nations. You have asked me to lead, and perchance you would ask me now how I intend to do so. I will show you my frame of mind and my ideal in two words—I take for my motto (and I hope as faithful and dutiful followers. it will be yours also). Festina lente, Hasten-Slowly; and for my patron saint I select that great, and edifying man, Booker T. Washington. I recognize that the hour is come when we, the native races of South Africa, must be up and doing; for God helps those who help themselves. But I recognize, too, the necessity of moving cautiously, of making progress prudently. I see the danger we have to fear, less the too impetuous amongst us, in the first fervor of this new inspiration, become too ambitious in the start, too pushful, too eager to attain their majority in a day; in a word, contracting swelled head, and toppling over the apple cart. Therefore I say, Festina lente. And Booker T. Washington is to be my guiding star (would that he were nigh to give us the help of his wise counsel!) I have chosen this great man, firstly, because he is perhaps the most famous and best living example of our Africa's sons; and secondly, because, like him, I, too, have my heart centered mainly in the education of my race. Therein methinks lles the shortest and best way to their mental, moral, material, social and political betterment. Throughout ten long, tiring years and up to the present moment I have sacrificed all my time, all my strength and all my means upon this altar of my people's supremest need—the need of enlightenment, of knowledge, of understanding, of refinement of manners and refinement of mind. And if for the nonce I am ready to respond to my compatriot's call to serve them in the more urgent, and withal more perilous sphere of political activity, I shall on that account by no means less my educational and editorial efforts on their behalf. On the contrary I cherish a hope that my more honored position in the Native Commonwealth and my wider contact with the native world, may rather tend to make those efforts still more extensive and effective. All the same, while I believe that in education my race will find its greatest earthly blessing, I am forced to avow that, at this present juncture of the reformation of the South African commonwealth, it has a still more pressing need—the need of political vigilance and guidance, of political emancipation and rights. This native congress, then—if I may venture to speak as its appointed mouthpiece—representing, as it does, the whole body of educated nativedom throughout South Africa, respectfully tenders the government its submission and its support, and prays that the government may in return honor it with its confidence and grant our lawful requests their due consideration. The policy which I am convinced will prove at once the surest, safest and quickest (and the policy which I hope our society will ever follow) is one of deep and dutiful respect for the rulers whom God has placed over us; a policy of hopeful reliance in that sense of common justice and love of freedom so innate in the British character, that these will ultimately triumph over all other baser tendencies to color prejudice and class tyranny. I feel assured that, if we approach this inherently religious and magnanimous British people in a respectful and reasonable manner, they will not refuse us a hearing, and will not refuse us our rights. Indeed they it is who have taught us to seek and to strive; we follow but their own example. Whatever political rights the British citizen now enjoys, he has won only at the cost of centuries of constant struggle; and surely he will not think ill of us if we now humbly follow in his footsteps. But while we wage our little war, it shall always and only be along the constitutional way of peaceful endeavor and patient pegging away. An honest, manly fight every Britsher admires. We propose to put one up; and by God's help we shall win. CONVEX LENS OF THE EYES A BURNING GLASS THAT ADJUSTS THE SIGHT TO VARYING DISTANCES. One of the manifold wonders of the human eye is the convex lens with which the focal distances of sight are made instantly and without mental effort. This lens in the eye is a literal "burning glass," as the small boy styles the glass lens with which he focuses the sun's rays and sets fire to a piece of paper. Just in this sense, too, is the lens of the eye a literal burning glass, as may be shown by the simplest of experiments. Let the person at midday hold a straw against the face of the sun and focus his eyes on the straw. He can look at the straw, with its background of a dazzling sun, and without discomfort. But the moment he looks at the fiery ball of the sun itself, subconsciously the lens of the eye comes to its proper focus, with the result that a "burning" sun spot appears on the retina of the eye, and it is said that a few seconds of such looking would burn out the retina as if by fire itself. In the subconscious adaptability of the eye lens to adjust itself to different distances lies its value to the human sight. The man with a camera adjusts the focus of his lenses by sliding them forward and back. The lenses of the human eye, by changing their curvatures, allow of one looking at fine print six inches from his nose and in a fraction of a second to look up and away, probably fifty miles to a mountain peak that in an instant is in true camera focus.—Pittsburg Press. WORDS DIDN'T FIT THE GAME. Mr. Justice McKenna of the United States Supreme court took up golf some time ago, and played at it at the Chevy Chase links near Washington. He was practicing one day, and there was nobody with him except his caddie. He teed up his ball, made the preliminary waggles he could think of and swiped at the ball. He missed it a foot. He tried again, and this time struck the earth 18 inches behind the tee. He made another effort and missed again. Then he stopped, and looked at the ball and said: "Tut-tut! Tut-tut-tut!" "Mister," observed the caddie, "you'll never learn to play golf wit" dem words!" — Saturday Evening Post. STINSON GIVES ADVICE TO THE NEGRO RACE STINSON GIVES ADVICE TO THE NEGRO RACE EVERY NEGRO SHOULD BE TAUGHT A TRADE, DECLARES ATLANTA EDUCATOR. Atlanta, Ga.—In a recent address, delivered to a large audience of negroes in the Atoc African Methodist Episcopal church at Dawson, Ga., Rev. R. D. Stinson, president of the Atlanta Normal and Industrial school, and one of the best known negro educators in the south, offered much timely advice to the colored race. "I am not unmindful that individuals among us are making headway that, will permanently enable them to be fixtures in the communities where they live so far as their own comforts are concerned, but they are one in every thousand. Let me repeat, as forcibly as I am capable: Put the negro youth in a school that is manned and controlled by persons who believe in fortifying every boy and girl with a trade that will enable him to make a living for himself. "Find your place and stay in it. If you are a cook see to it that you are the best one in town. If you are a seamstress do your work so well that when those who employ you pass you on the streets will say of you, 'there goes the best seamstress in this place.' Character and common sense are the essential things to strive for, and a few definite things along the line of right have value with God and with men. You may die ignorant, but you can die honest and respectable. The best thing you can give your child is a practical education. While I believe in higher education there are only ten out of a hundred that need it or would be benefited by it. God has set the metes and bounds of some things and some men." AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS. A layman whose business brings him into direct contact with a large number of negro ministers asked us a few days ago: "What are we going to do for better preachers?" On being asked to explain he said that many of those he knew did not seem to have a very definite conception of what was expected of them and fell far short of measuring up to our acceptable standard of intelligent discharge of duty. They knew little of what was required of them and frequently failed in that little. Now it has not been ours to observe so deplorable a condition, but we were struck with the sincerity of his words. He was a devout and loyal churchman who loved his own church in particular and would have given any reasonable proof of his love for the pastors. He had been made to believe that too many preachers failed in the knowledge of the Bible, in matters of common intelligence and above all, in sustained effort to fill the great place decreed unto them. Was he right? Perhaps not, altogether. Those who study the church today will agree that there is not the efficiency there should be, on the part of a number of pastors. Men enter the holy calling of the ministry without the consciousness of the gravity of the work taken upon themselves, they begin without any definite idea of what they are to do and proceed without special preparation. Why wonder that failure is soon written large all over their careers? ignorance of the word of God, whether from inability to study it intelligently or evil mindedness, that precludes an insight into things which are spiritually discerned is inexcusable with the gospel ministry. It to this ignorance of mind and heart is added venality of purpose and practice there is to be expected a woeful state in the church. The church owes it to the gospel she preaches, to the great name she bears and for her own self-preservation to prepare men to fill her pulpits and shepherd her flocks. In the councils and conferences of the church, she does so urgent a demand, more time and care should be given to providing for the training of preachers; we mean preachers who can preach the word in season and out, rather than to the equipping of servers of tables and collectors of funds. These last are incidental and secondary. The first are vital and primary. Brethren, for Christ's sake and the kingdom's, let us have more preachers! CARNEGIE TO BUILD LIBRARY FOR NEGROES Savannah, Ga. Within the next few days it is expected that the directors of the Savannah colored library will conclude negotiations for a valuable piece of property upon which a Carnegie library building, costing $12,000, will be erected. The custodians of the Carnegie fund have consented to erect the building under certain conditions. All of these conditions, except obtaining the site, have been compiled with. There are a number of prominent white people of Savannah interested in the movement and a sufficient amount to make the purchase of the property will be obtained, it is expected. TOO READY TO QUIT. "It is very kind of you to ask me to be your wife, but I must refuse," said the proud young woman haughtily. "I hope you will not hurry away and do anything rash." "Don't worry about that. I merely wanted to be sure that we understood each other." "You are so sensible that I am going to take back what I said and accept you." SO SAYS DR. B. F. RILEY, WHOSE VERY LIFE WORK PLACES HIM IN POSITION TO SEE CONDITIONS IN A FAR BETTER LIGHT THAN, PERHAPS, WE OURSELVES CAN SEE THEM. What has long been called the race question in the south is at last beginning to be approached in a temper fairly free from partisan blas. It has been a period of throes through which the colored race has passed, but history teaches that such have attended on every people who have had to struggle from a lower to a higher position. Civilization has advanced only where man has had to struggle for existence, and where the struggle has been the most intense, the advance has been the most rapid. The African race in America has been no exception to this rule. While there are occasions and reasons for discontent among the negro people of the country, because of the injustice and cruelty to which they are subjects. I want to issue a note of cheer to my brethren in black, as a life-long friend belonging to the white race, that there is now reason for cheer and hopefulness. The clouds are certainly breaking, and the light is beginning to stream through. I would not mislead any with false hope, nor do I say that there will not yet be friction and trouble, but I am in position to say that the friends of the colored man are multiplying, as I am in position to know, and if they could see the situation as I do, they would take fresh cheer and press with vigor on. The general bearing and behavior of the colored race through the turmoil of all the years has been, for the most part, most commendable, and still is. This is helping to dissolve the difficulty and lend practical aid to every white friend enlisted in the work for the good of the colored people in which work I have been engaged for three years. I am in position to know that there is light ahead. We are going to solve this question and bring joy and light to a people in an era of a second emancipation.—Birmingham (Ala.) National Review. A $50,000 COLORED BRIDE Aubrey, Tex.—In the country near this place there lived a dainty little brown skinned maiden who dreamed of a lover constant and true. Perhaps her dreams even included a lover of great wealth. So when it was learned that the maiden was really to wed a millionaire her relatives and friends were beside themselves with joy, and even her jealous friends, who envied her good luck, wished her a successful matrimonial voyage though a stipulation in her marriage agreement stated that she and her husband were not to live together. Mysterious? It happened this way. A very smooth young man who knew that maidens read the colored papers advertised for a wife, stating that she must have $1,000 in her own right, and the lucky girl was to be given $5,000 more. The young man was supposed to be the heir to a great fortune left him on condition that he marry by a certain date, and that the girl have $1,000. Miss Lula Lougrand, who lives near here, had the $1,000 and more, too. Correspondence brought the two moneyed young people together and arrangements made for the wedding. Relatives of the girl hired a lawyer, who supposed he had made a careful investigation and reported everything as O. K. McFall, as the young man was named, signed papers agreeing to give the girl the $50,000 upon their marriage and the ceremony was performed and a few days later the couple left for Muskgoose, Okla. Now the girl is back and to date has failed to collect her $50,000, and everybody asks everybody else why McFall does not send the money to his bride. McFall was supposed to have a diamond mine and property unlimited. People even sympathized with him because of the conditions of the will that forced him to wed a girl he knew not while his heart was held by another fair maiden. If McFall was a fake, pure and simple, at least he was a live one, and knew that advertising paid. NEGROES OUGHT TO DRIVE PLOWS, NOT AUTOS, SAYS JUDGE. Macon, Ga.—"If Negroes will stick to their plows instead of learning to operate autos, they and the south will be better off," declared Judge W. H. Felton of the Bibb superior court in refusing to dismiss a warrant against George McDonald, a negro chauffeur, who was charged with having used his employer's machine without permission. "It depreciates the general efficiency of the negro race for some of them to be employed as chauffeurs," added the judge. AN AWKWARD BREAK. "You've made a mistake in your paper," said the indignant man, entering the editorial sanctum. "I was one of the competitors at the athletic match yesterday, and you have called me the well-known lightweight champion." "Well, aren't you?" said the editor, "No, I'm nothing of the kind, and it's confounded awkward, because you see I'm a coal merchant." Che Savannah Tribune, Established 1875 By JOHN H, DEVEAUX.

The account of the death of the Negro near Jackson, Ga., last Fri- day nizht who was lynched because he undertook to secure recruits for a proposed African colony shows with how little seerecy the whites of certain rural districts take the life of a Negro. We do nots know the circumstances sur- rounding the death of this Negro other than the one fact that he Was working among his own people en- deavoring to get a suflicient num- ber of them to go to Africa. ‘The likelihood is that he was succeeding in his project and because of this apparent success the white farmers inthe community, who were de- pending oa these Negroes to gather their crops beeame angered and ‘decided to nip the movement in the bud by lyneliing the leader and holding to their lahorers whose services they were getting for lit- ‘tle or nohing. This they did znd the pitiful part about it is that this lynching, as all others, will go un- noticed by th» state and govern. ment authorities. Nothing was brought against this Negro’s char. acter by the people who tgok part in the lynching. He was not charged with the ‘usual crime” 01 termed an “unruly, disrespectful black brute.” Jn fact, nothing whatever was given out against him other than the fact that he was securing recruits for Africa. The time was whenever a Negro was Jynched some henious charge was oie TRG oo ph el, brought up but of late years lynch- ings have become so common and not the slightest effort has been made by the law to apprehend the guilty parties that they have not had to resort to this form of proced- ure in endeavoring to justify -their actions. Truly hast come toa la- mentable state when a Negros life is to be snatched out for no cause whatever other than to satisfy the wnjuenchable thirst of certain white people for the blood of a black mar. ‘The failure of the Negrocs o! the city to get a hearing from President ‘Taft upon the occasion of bis visit to the city Wednesilay demonstrates conclusively the de- plorable extent to which some Ne- groes will alisw their petty feel- ings to go in order to gratify their personal desires for honor and dis- linction. ‘There were three separ- ute and distinct requests made by separate groups of Negroesof the city fora hearing from the Presi- dent aid the committee of the Hi- berniaa Society which had charge of the program mapped out for the President was ina quandary which set to include in their pr- rangements. ‘Pnerefore, not wish- ing to offend -any of they colored brethren they were advised by the committee to get together and de- cide on some one place where the President might go and there ad dress the Negroes. But this was found to be i:mpossille «and, asa consequence, thereavere, hundreds, of Negroes who were denied the privilege of hearing the President! Simply on account of a few contra-' ry, ob-.indte Negroes, who because: they could not have their wishes gratified in selecting the place for, the President to speak preferred that the whole people should meet with au disappotmtment. It was verily 1 keen disappointment for hund.eds of hard working men and wousn agong us who would have been able to hear him talk nad on- ly these men who were so bull- heated put under subjection their aarrow feelings and been broad snouzh to act fur the common good oF the etizens at large. But it was not the people of whom they were thinkin. it was simply that insutiable desire for honor wna listingtion which is so manifest in sone peuple that was asserting it- self and these men svere complete- y oblivious of everything else. But the honor which they’ graved was denied them an: it is hoped that. they now=see tue folly in such uncalled for mulishness 2s was demonstrated on this occasion. The Presitent. was here and he spoke to those of us who could find time to ge out to the eallexe but the gvzat bulls of us whe hat anticipated liearing a word of an couragement from him in the city were furced to furego this pleas- ure and we shall have to live in hopes of another visit of the Chief Executive to our city when our selfish leaders will be more! churitable to one another and not light like so many eats and dogs over a bone which each one of them wished to devour when it should have been enjoyed by us all collectively. Until our men of public affairs get together and work for tug common good of us all we aregving to be a much dis- appointed people. ‘There is plenty of hanor to be distributed to every one of them when they bury their petty differences and give to the people the sort of magnanimous leaders they are looking for, and until they bring this happy condi- tion of affairs abogt they will be adrawback and hindrance to the progress of the rice instead of a proper stimulus.

PITTSBURG CHURCH ENJOYING WAVE OF PROSPERITY REV. DR. P. A. SCOTT, THE PRESENT PASTOR, IS GUIDING "THE OLD SHIP WITH A MASTER HAND. Pittsburgh, Pa.—As an illustration of what may be accomplished by true religious fervor, coupled with a wise and businesslike administration of the finances of a church, the following article is of deep import: It is very gratifying to all who are interested in the welfare of the race and the Christian church, to note the marvelous progress that is being made in the spiritual, financial and social affairs of Bethel A. M. E. church, corner of Wylie avenue and Elm street. Those who have any knowledge of the history of this church, in recent years, know that it has passed through a long period of adversity and discouragement, and that, during those conditions, hundreds of its members have withdrawn their membership, while many others, being discouraged, went adrift on the "sea of neglect;" leaving less than half its former membership to grapple with the great problems facing the church, and the nearly fifty-thousand dollar debt, incident to the building of the beautiful and commodious structure now in use, which was erected during the eventful pastorate of the much-beloved Dr. J. M. Townsend in 1906. When the present pastor, Dr. P. A. Scott, took charge of this church about eight months ago, he found the congregation discouraged and scattered in almost every direction, with creditors threatening and instituting law suits, and the mortgagee preparing to foreclose the forty-two thousand eight hundred dollar mortgage, in a short while the interest being nearly a whole year in arrears. The new pastor was not long, however, in getting a strong grasp on the troublesome situation, and began at once the paying off of the old debts, and satisfying judgments, and warded off the foreclosure, and has inaugurated a new systematic financial method which is revolutionizing affairs in every department of this historic old charge. Even the much disputed "Avery Fund," which amounts to about three hundred dollars per month in rentals, and which has been a "bone of contention" for time immemorial, among people of varied ranks, is now being handled by one of Pittsburgh's most reliable real estate and banking institution, and the entire amount of income, less the cost of repairing the Avery property, is being applied on the large mortgage indebtedness. In the past six months seventeen hundred and fifty dollars have been paid on the large interest arrearage, and more than one thousand dollars on old floating debts, besides meeting all the current expenses of the church, which sum amounts to nearly four hundred dollars per month, and a happy state of confidence is being restored among the people of all classes. During this brief period one hundred and thirty new members have been added to the church, most of whom have been new converts to the Christian faith, as the result of the great revival meetings recently held at the church, in which the pastor was ably assisted by the noted evangelist, Dr. J. G. Robinson of Ohio, and other pastors in this city and vicinity, and the congregations have been more than doubled. At the quarterly meeting recently held here, at which the able and popular presiding elder, Dr. T. J. Askew, presided, the services were the most largely attended, and most successful that have been witnessed here for many years; and at the quarterly conference it was found that more than twenty-five hundred dollars had been raised and properly applied in the past three months, while the spiritual condition is most happy in every way. Dr. Scott is proving himself to be master of the situation in every detail of this great charge, and both church and pastor are universally popular among people of all ranks and creeds, and among secret societies of all names, of many of which he is a member. WHAT SHE WANTED. A big negress came before a Virginia judge the other day seeking redress for domestic troubles. "I's a wronged woman," she declared in a give-me-back-my-child, you villain tone, "an' I wants redress fru' dis yere Co't." "Tell me about your trouble, said the kind-hearted judge. "It's about mah old man. He's done been ca'yin' on plumb scandalous wif a lot of deese yeh young niggah gals, an' it's got so baad till I don' see him no moah'n once a week. Sumpin's gottah be did!" "H'm! I see," said the judge. "You are seeking a divorce—a legal separation—is that it?" "Go 'long, man! Divorce nothin'! Think I's gwine t' gib him what he wants and 'low dat man who, 'spite all his cussedness, is de hans'omest niggah in Coon Tree Holler, t' go skyhootin' 'roun'-'mong dem yaller gals? N' say! I dona' want no divo'ce, n'r dat legal septitution you'all talkin' about. N' sah, Jedge; what I wants is an injunction."—Lippincott's. CONFESSED SLAYER INDICTED CLEMENTINE BERNABET IMPLI CATES TWO OTHER NEGRO WOMEN IN PART OF 17 MUR DERS TOLD ABOUT. Lafayette, La—Clementine Bernabet, the confessed slayer of 17 negroes in this and other towns, was indicted by the grand jury, the true bill returned charging her with the murder of Norbet Randall and his family of five here last, November. The negress received the news of her indictment with no other emotion than the shrug of her shoulders. While the grand jury was considering her case the girl sang "Nearer, My God to Thee" and "Lead Kindly Light." The young negress talked freely with newspaper men and gleefully puffed a cigar which one of them gave her. She smiled while retelling the ghastly details of her confession and got added gratification out of the thought of her photograph appearing in the newspapers. She attributed her desire to unbosom her criminal and fanatical self to the loss of her "cunjah" bag. The grand jury will return an indictment against the negress for the murder of the Randall family. Two other negresses, Mary Conchon and "Irene," she said, helped Clementine in a part of the 17 murders she had confessed. Jo Thibodeaux, the "voodoo doctor," whom Clementine declares sold her and her accomplices the "cunjah" bags, is not alarmed at the prospect of being involved in the murders. He acknowledged the distinction of being a "yerb doctah" and a "mystery worker," but insists that "the good white folks" of New Iberia, his home town, know him to be harmless and devoid of criminal intentions. He says Clementine is "hazy" and unbelievable. CURIOUS ACCIDENT IT CAUSED THE WRECK, LONG SHROUDED IN MYSTERY, OF A SCHOONER. The queer accidents that have happened to Maine vessels would fill a volume, and some of them would not be believed. An old coaster captain recalled the mysterious wreck of the little schooner Active in Fox island thoroughfares some years ago. It was in the fall of the year, and the Active was going through the narrow passage between the islands. She carried only two men, the master, Captain Ray, and his sixteen-year-old son. When last seen under sail the Active was shipshape, the boy at the wheel and his father below taking a nap, as it was afterward found. Next day the Active was found on the rocks, with her stern stove in, the master drowned in his bunk and the boy dead at the wheel with a bullet hole in his head. This discovery caused a great sensation, and there appeared to be no motives for any one to kill the boy, and as it was known that the shot must have been fired by a third person, the whole affair was a mystery and remained thus for years, when a man in a distant state confessed on his death-bed that it was he who fired the shot that killed the helmsman of the Active. The man said that he had fired at a hawk, which was circling low, and did not see the schooner, which suddenly came into range, owing to an intervening clump of bushes. Then he was horrified to see the boy at the schooner's wheels throw up his hands and fall to the deck, while the vessel broached to and was driven ashore by the wind and tide. The gunner, who was after gulls and ducks, fled without waiting to investigate the result of his unfortunate shot, fearing that if he reported the matter to the authorities he might, although innocent of any criminal intent, be imprisoned—Washington Post. SHARP CRITICISM FOR WICKERSHAM BAR ASSOCIATION SECRETARY ROASTS ATTORNEY GENERAL ABOUT NEGRO LEWIS. Washington.—George Whitelock of Baltimore, secretary of the American Bar association, in a letter to Attorney General Wickersham, made public, sharply criticizes the course taken by the latter to have W. A. Lewis of Boston, the negro assistant attorney general, retained as a member of the association. Assistant Attorney General Lewis' application for membership was favorably passed upon, but the governing board later rescinded his election to the bar association. Replying to Attorney General Wickersham's statements that Lewis had been "wrongfully injured" by this action, Secretary Whitelock criticizes the attorney general for the method pursued in trying to secure immediate redress for the negro attorney. Mr. Whitelock intimates that Attorney General Wickersham has tried to "coerce the committee through extravagant statements in the press," and "insinuated in your correspondence with me and in your circular a want of good faith on its part." "Few will be persuaded that you have 'protected' or even think that you have 'protected' Lewis, or that you have thus promoted the cause of social justice," wrote Mr. Whitelock.

First African Baptist Church Honors their Former Pastors Honors their Former Pastors In the midst of successful revival meetings which have been in progress for the past two weeks conducted by the Rev. W. F. Paschal of Atlanta Ga, the church paused immediately after the morning and evening service, on last Sunday to pay homage to their former decreased pastors upon the unveiling of two memorial windows placed in the rear of the pulpit by its loyal members. The window in the right corner of the pulpit bearing the bust photograph of the Rev. Andrew Bryan, their first pastor; Rev. Andrew Marshall, second pastor and Rev. Wm. J. Campbell, third pastor, was unveiled after the morning service. The one in the left corner bearing Rev. Geo. Gibbons, fourth pastor; Rev. Emanuel King Love, fifth pastor and Rev. James Wesley Carr, sixth pastor, was unveiled after the evening service. A short eulogy on the life and pastorate of Rev. Bryan was made by church clerk W. G. Williams; of Rev. Marshall by Deacon J. A. Snyder; of Rev. Campbell by Mr. M. C. Campbell; of Rev. Gibbons by Deacon Lee Gilmore; of Rev. Carr by Deacon Joseph Marks. The choir rendered appropriate selections for the occasion. In speaking of the history of the First African Baptist church, one of the facts that bears a remarkable recognition Jan. 20th 1768, it has only had seven pastors, and the seventh is now serving the church in his fourth term, the other six served until their death. Among their former pastors, the church can boast of having types of ministers that were broad spirited, race loving and abreast of the times and made themselves keenly felt in the community for good. Institutions of learning, a publication house, the foreign and home mission fields point with pride to the old historic church for the effectual work wrought through these eminent fallen heroes. The church is still unfurling her banner to the field of missions and education and under the leadership of their present pastor, Rev. Willis L. Jones who is a minister of experience ability and indomitable will, is much expected. The church will baptize a host of candidates on to-morrow, Sunday morning directly after the 5 o'clock prayer meeting. A special sermon at the 11 o'clock a.m. service will be preached. Sunday School at 2:30 p.m. Communion at 3:30 p.m. Preaching at 8:30 p.m. You are invited to be present at each service. Deaths.

Miss Price was eighteen years old, but though young in age was a consistent Christian and a faithful worker in both the church and Sunday school of which she was, a member. Her pleasing disposition and her willingness to always help others won for her many friends and the large number that attended the funeral plainly showed that her death was keenly felt. Rev.

At her home she was the pleasure of the house, obedient to her parents and devoted to her brothers and sisters. To know her was but to love her and her many friends extend to the bereaved family their sympathies. She was a member of Savannah Home Association Ladies' Branch and the Savannah Branch of the Daughters of Africa which institutions attended her funeral in a body. There were many beautiful floral designs, among them were a pillow, given by the First B. B. Church, the gates ajar by the Ladies Branch of the Savannah Home Association and a heart by the Savannah Home Association.
