All the details are being worked out very carefully and indications are that there will be a full house on the night of the 24th. At the meeting of city council on Wednesday afternoon last, the sum of $1200.00 per year was pledged toward the support of the library. The passage of this resolution by council meets the requirements of Mr. Carnegie's representatives, the Home Trust Company of Hoboken, N. J., and makes available the sum of $12,000.00 pledged by Mr. Carnegie as soon as we have paid for a suitable site. The committee on purchase of a site will announce the site secured at the theatre on the night of the 24th. No one interested in the progress of our people can afford to miss this entertainment.

Editor of The Savannah Tribune. Editor of The Savannah Tribune:— Please allow me to say a few words in connection with the meeting of Deputies and Supervisors Institute, G. U. O. O. F. held in Augusta, Ga., June 7th and 8th. The meeting was one of the most instructive and beneficial that was ever held by the order. Delegates numbered two hundred. Reports from various divisions showed an increase along all lines. These meetings are held for the instructions of Deputies and Supervisors, fitting them for the work in their respective divisions and otherwise qualifying them to carry on the work. The 12th Division made the best report and received the highest percentage in every respect over all the other Divisions. The work done by special Deputy Wily Smith; Mrs. Carrie E. Thurman, special Supervisor, Mrs. F. D. Armstrong, special Supervisor and R. E. Wright, special Supervisor; and Supervisor Mrs. S. A. Warren is the best in the state. The election of officers resulted as follows: B. S. Ingram of Macon, Ga., President; Mrs. L. P. Fortune of Rome, Ga., Vice President; Mr. A. S. Brown, of Athens, Ga. Secretary; Mrs. F. D. Armstrong of Savannah, Ga. Treasurer. The next meeting will be held in Dublin Ga. Just before the adjournment of the Institute, by suggestion of Bro. B. J. Davis, the Institute very kindly commended Sis. F. D. Armstrong for her loyalty towards her husband during the long period of illness which was highly appreciated by the captain. W. D. Armstrong, D.

G. A. Attest: R. L. Lockley, S. G. S. Beaufort, S. C., and its Progressive Citizens. The town of Beaufort, S. C., an ideal place for one who needs a little recreation is progressing nicely. Many new buildings are being erected and things generally are on the move. The colored citizens who are very hospitable and courteous and many who have branched out in various lines of businesses are meeting with success. The improvements of their properties, the rearing of their children and the interest manifested in the welfare of the town are worthy of note. Some of the successful businesses that are being carried on by the Negroes of this little town are the tailoring establishment and auditorium cafe of Capt. Alex Myers, which are being well patronized. Messrs. H. G. Fisher, C. H. Singleton and William Williams are leading the town in the back business. Mr. Fisher also conducts a livery stable. Lient. J. S. Blocker and Mr. R. N. Moore, are conducting up-to-date tonsorial parlors. Also Mr. Malcom Fleming, contractor for tinning and plumbing work is meeting with great success. Capt. James Riley, the undertaker and building contractor, is making rapid progress. The insurance business is well represented by Mr. W. I Allen, district superintendent of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association. The grocery store of Mr. Samuel Washington is well patronized. Both Mr. and Mrs. Washington are very courteous to their patrons. Mr. E M. Scott is meeting with success in the tailoring business. One of the businesses to which the colored citizens point with pride is the colored drug store owned and managed by Mrs. G. W. Singleton, widow of the late Dr. Singleton of that town. It is well stocked and carries a full line of druggists' supplies. Mrs. Singleton is ably assisted by Dr. C. S. Simpson and Mrs. Selina G. Flournoy. There are a great many others who are in business, but space will not permit them to be mention. As a whole they are getting along nicely and the town is on the boom. Dr. Wm. A. Harris Addresses Teachers' Normal Class. On last Wednesday afternoon Dr. Wm. A. Harris addressed the teachers normal class at the East Broad street school. Dr. Harris took as his subject malarial fever and many valued and interesting points were brought out by him. In summing up his talk Dr. Harris said: "I have tried to convey, first, that malarial fever is caused by an animal the plasmodium malariae; second, that the mosquito, anopheles is the only known means of its transmission from an infected person to another; that if there is a case of malarial fever in a neighborhood its harbinger was a mosquito of this breed; usually a female Third, that swampy, nareshy lands' pools and other stagnant waters fresh' and brackish, are nurseries of the mosquito; the noxious gases emanating from them and night air do not produce malarial fever. Fourth, that the effects of malarial fever are anaemia, enlargement of the spleen cachexia are some impairment of the nervous system. Fifth, that malarial may be eradicated by affording the malarial bearing mosquito no breeding place. And sixth, that quinine is the specific drug for its cure." Asbury M. E. Church Dots Last Sunday was a high day at Asbury. At 11 a. m. the pastor, Rev. W. V. Daughtry, preached from Heb. 7:25, subject "Uttermost Salvation." At night he chose for his text Mark 12:17, subject; "Our obligation to God and man." The subject and the treatment were very appropriate, this being the occasion of a regiment contest rally for the purpose of raising money to repair and paint the church. The sum of $372.00 was raised. Other reports are expected. Regiment No. 1, of which I. D. Seabrooks was Commander-in-Chief, raised $100.00 which was, the highest amount, and took the flag. Mrs. J. A. Eubanks, a Captain of company No 3, Reg. No. 3, reported $32.15, this being the highest amount reported by any of the Captains, according to terms, she became custodian of the flag. We are very greatful to those who assisted us in this effort. To-morrow promises to be another high day at Asbury. Regular preaching services at 11 a. m. and 8:30 p. m. At 4 p. m. a special service will be held when the Evangelical Ministers' Union will have their union rally. Dr. R. H. Singleton, pastor of St. Philip A. M. E. church will preach the sermon. St. Paul C. M. E. church's choir will furnish music. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1912 Tausendwies MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH Mt. Zion Baptist Church TO BUILD NEW EDIFICE TO COST TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS Work To Begin By July First—Seating Capacity Five Hundred—To Be Of Pressed Buff Brick—Building 32 by65 Feet. Within the next two weeks Mt. Zion Baptist church, West Broad street between Minis and Gaston streets, will begin the erection of a new brick edifice. The plans for the erection of this building have been under way for some time and it is the purpose of Rev. Spencer and his congregation to erect one of the neatest and most convenient church structures in the city. A force of workmen will be set to work about the first of next month moving the old church back to Minis Court and just as soon as this is accomplished the new structure will be begun. All arrangements for this work are now completed and the members and pastor are awaiting with eagerness the first steps in the erection of this beaptiful edifice which it is their purpose to erect. The new building is to be erected at a cost af ten thousand dollars and is to be of pressed buff bricks. It will be thirty-two by sixty-five feet and will have a seating capacity of about five hundred people. In the basement will be a large and well lighted Sunday-school room and a kitchen, which will be used in the event of entertainments. On this floor will also be installed a heating plant. The second floor will be composed of the main auditorium, the pastor's study and a drawing room. In the auditorium will be a large baptismal pool. The building will be lighted by both electricity and gas. One of the particularly attractive features of this new edifice will be the large amount of window space which it will afford. It was the object of Rev. Spencer in going over the plans to fully make provisions for an adequate amount of natural light and as a conse- [Continued on Page Four] Teachers' Examination APPLICANTS INCLUDING SEVERAL MEN TOOK TEST SATURDAY Purchase of Hayen Home Property By City Will Proviide Room For More Teachers On last Saturday morning the teachers' examination for grammar schools of Chatham county was held at the Chatham Academy. There were forty colored applicants who took the examination, a slightly larger number than last year. This was probably due to the fact that the impression prevails in the city that the purchasing of the Haven Home property on Henry street by the city for a Negro public school means that it will be opened some time during the coming school year, in which event there would be need for more teachers. Those who took the examination are as follows: Miss Clifford Allen, Miss Ethel Andrews, Mrs. Aletia Armstrong, Miss Veronica Beasley, Miss Louise Bing. Miss Nettie Bisard, Miss Etta Cannick, Mr. J H. Clark, Miss Susie Cogwell, Miss Izetta Coston, Miss Fannie Deveaux, Miss Clinton Dingle, Miss Mary Ellen Dunham, Miss Mae Franklin, Miss Sophronia Gaston, Miss Edith Hall, Miss Essie Ham, Miss Eloise Holmes; Mr. Fred Hunter, Mr. Edgaron Jones, Miss Hattie Jones, Miss Fredrica Johnson, Miss Henrietta Johnson, Miss Ophelia Lee, Miss Sarah Lee, Miss Alice Nicholson, Miss Edna Price, Miss Margie Robertson, Miss Rachel Rogers, Miss Ada Scott, Miss Eliza Songstack, Miss Rebecca Sstacke, Miss Geneva Stiles, Miss Lettie Sutton, Miss Mary Taggart, Mrs. Rebecca Stiles Taylor, Mr. James Washington, Miss Anna Williams, Miss Dorothy Williams, Miss Elise Williams. The Sengstacke Preparatory Academy. The closing exercises of the Sengstacke Preparatory Academy, Woodville, began at Pilgrim Congregational Church, on Sunday afternoon last, with a lecture to the pupils by Mr. Wm. DuHenri Brown of Savannah His subject was the "Teaching of Education." It was a very appropriate subject for the occasion and was well delivered. It was full of advice to parents and teachers as well. After examination and the usual picnic on Friday, on the church lawn one of the most prosperous years in the history of the school passed, and the doors closed once more for the summer vacation which lasts until September the fifteenth.

Closing Exercises of Saint Stephen's Kindergarten and Primary School. On Tuesday, June 4th, St. Stephen's School closed a most successful term. The children in both departments rendered a most interesting program. They rendered a play entitled "Tom the Piper's Son," which caught the audience, and the choruses, one of which was led by Theodore Hernandez, were pretty and well rendered. The school continues to do good, solid work, by laying a good foundation on which the children build to advantage. Good manners, good morals, orderliness, neatness, obedience, punctuality, thoroughness, are all emphasized. The girls are taught sewing and rudiments of domestic science. As a rule St. Stephen's pupils lead in all the schools. Any unprejudiced teacher in Savannah will testify to this. The school is now in its twentieth year and as the principal, Rev. K. Bright is looking forward to a reunion of all former pupils he will be glad to have them send him their address on a postal card. Persons wishing to enter their children would do well to call as soon as possible on Rev. R. Bright, 213 E. Harris St. Closing Exercises of Swangin's Academy The closing exercises of the Swangin Academy were held at Bethlehem Baptist church, May 20, 1912. The school ranging from the first to the eighth grade has just closed its seventh term. Plain sewing and fancy work are taught and many very pretty and useful articles were placed on exhibition which reflected credit upon the teachers and pupils. The fancy work showed marked ability and artistic skill, which would compare favorably with other schools of possibly more experience. The Swangin Academy has a Success Club. The name assures you at once that it intends to be a success not only in name. It had on deposit in the Wage Earners Bank at the close of the term $78.00. This amount had been saved by the pupils since the beginning of the term, Oct. 1, 1911. Some pupils have saved by their individual effort as much as $7.00 and others smaller amounts. The habit of making a penny and then saving a penny is being inculcated in the minds of the children while their heads and hands are being trained. Prizes were given to the pupils amounting to $7.05. There was one graduate, Miss Elizabeth V. Gåskins. The exercises as a whole were excellently rendered. The music was very sweet and the audience seemed to have been very much pleased. The closing address was made by Mrs. M. M. Mills. It was very instructive throughout and full of good, wholesome advice. Mrs. N. Mitchell and Miss Coles presided at the piano. The school will open at Cole's Hall, Waldburg street, West, on the first of October, 1912. NUMBER 39 Cubans Fighting For Rights PREFER TO FIGHT AND EVEN DIE TO SUFFER INJUSTICE Women Not Being Molested—Not a Race War—Simply Fighting for Proper Treatment at Hands of Government A dispatch from Consul Holiday: bearing this message from General Estenoz, leader of the revolution, to the State Department, says: "The Negro, under present conditions in this country, has no chance, and the oject of the warfare which we are now carrying on is to secure for him the civic right to which he, in common with other Cubans, is entitled, under the constitution of the Republic of Cuba, and for which he fought during so many years. "The warfare we are carrying on is a civilized warfare. We are neither robbing nor molesting women. We are not murdering white people, nor have we any intention of doing so, although the Cuban Government is constantly stating that such is our purpose. "We are not making war against foreigners, and we hope that they will not take sides in this conflict. We are fighting the Cubans alone, and the Cuban Government, for our rights as Cubans and citizens of this country, which rights, so far under the present administration, we have not had. "Instead of suffering such treatment in the future we prefer to fight and even to die. Moreover. I desire to say that rather than to continue to be governed by Cubans in the way that we have been governed in the past it would be greatly preferable to be governed by strangers. "I have learned that the American mining companies have armed their Gallego laborers, and I have warned them not to permit these men to enter the fight against us, for if they do we shall retaliate by killing every Gallego on whom we can lay our hands." "The present government of Cuba has endeavored to convince the people that the present is a race war. This, however, is false, as evidenced by the fact that in our ranks we have many white men, and that in Cuba a race war would be an absolute impossibility, for with the exception of a few white foreigners all would be on one side. UNITED STATES GUARANTEE "It was for the purpose of notifying the world that I had undertaken and was conducting a revolution in Cuba that I burned the buildings of the Spanish-American Iron Company. I regretted the necessity for this action and also the taking of such property as arms, horses, saddles, &c., but for the success of the enterprise it was absolutely necessary to obtain these things, as it would be impossible to carry on a revolution merely by organizing a band of men and quietly sitting under a mango tree "Any agreement that I might make with the government of Cuba for the settlement of this affair would have to be concluded in the presence of a representative of the United States of America, and only upon the assurance of this representative that the United States would guarantee the absolute fulfilment by the Cuban Government of the agreement, as the officials of that Government have made many promises to me in the past, and so far none of them have been fulfilled. "We ask only for our rights as citizens and we hope the American people will comprehend our position and will study the matter with great care before they become satisfied that it is necessary to intervene."—New York World.

Al- ready the great army of those who wage constant war against the {n- roads of time and tide have taken fresh heart to continue their search for the Fountain of Youth. Their hope lies in the Cult of Beau- tiful Hands. The Inspiration and creator of this cult, founded upon the scfentific prin- ciple of message, desires It to become a part of the daily beauty bath of ev- ery well groomed woman. He expects it to become universal wherever mas- sage is an integral part of beauty treatment. That his belief Is well tounded has been demonstrated by thé success with which hand massage has been atended, and the obvious neces- sity for keeping the hands as beauti- ful as the face. Yet how many women overlook this all important chapter in the preser- vation of youth! Beauty specialists use the hands as an index to age. Those who have made a study of hands can tell within three years the age of any woman, no matter how carefully her face, neck and hair have been preserved. This is because those seekers after beauty have bathed in the Fountain of Youth —which is only another name for care- ful groom!ng—and have forgotten to take their hands along with them. Hand massage is a quick and certalu way to remedy the delay, to give the hands the fresh, plump, mioist, supple appearance of youth by improving both the health and the texture of the skin, Hand massage requires a jar of a reliable massage cream (not disap- pearing); certain scientific movements designed to fill out hollows, reduce en- larged Joints and otherwise improve the contour of the hand; a bottle of a good astringent to remove the cream without destroying its effects, and a soft linen cloth. Probably the most devoted follower wf the new cult will be the woman “whose hands have lost their plump- ness. Her skin fs a bit drawn and her knuckles are beginning to be un- pleasantly promineat. In such hands the veins and cords are likely to raise themselves visibly, further accentuat- ing the dry, sallow surface of the skin. Treatment in this case consists of a renerous application of massage eream and a series of movenments calculated to manipulate the muscles of the hands so that they may be tully developed, firm and strong. At the same time the skin absorbs through Its pores, opened to recelve Ahe cream, enough nourishment to sup- ply any wasted portions beneath, which In turn communicates this food to the miuscles and all parts of the land. Manipulation brings the blood to the surface of the hand to take up ‘thie lubricant and distribute it to ev- ery station where it Is needed and to burn up waste tissues. Quickened circulation means the restoration of. color and moisture to the hands, and this in turn means the youthful ap- pearance 60 dear to every woman. Naturally all irritation and rough- ness disappears after such vigorous treatment. ‘The hollow places are giv- en special attention, one of the best movements for filling out being a ro- tary motion with the tips of the fin- gers and a deep pressure, or kneading of muscles, Do not allow the skin to become dry, or irritation and smarting wil result. As soon as the cream is taken up, apply more, continuing the treatment for some time. It is better to use a half dozen rotations or pressures in one place, then pro ceed to another hollow, and then re- turn to the original place. This order does not subject any part of the hand to severe treatment. + Be careful that the entire hand is manipulated, the joints worked and the fingers moved vigorously, as an even distribution of nourishment fs neces sary. When every part of the hand has been covered remove any remaining portions of the cream by applying a Kood astringent. Dip a small sponge in the astringent and stroke it gently over the hands. ‘ Gratifyfng results will be obtained by a single massage treatment. Twice a week is the least number of treat- ments possible to obtain good results. Those with very thin or “scrawny” hands sbould begin with three treat- ments a week, and a the hollows be- gin to fill gradually reduce the num- ber. Two months should work won- ders even with the most difficult case, suetieinic Sha cniiatiars Gil thik Veda ca SWEETBREADS WITH TOMATOES.

The tempting bunches of fresh green watercress that are now found fc market are never more welcome than at this season, but great care should be taken to wash them thor- oughly; the brook whence they came may have been infested with typhoid germs, says a writer. Experts tell us that much typhold fever comes from yegetables that have been improperly fertilized or from plants watered by polluted streams. Wherever possible ‘Yegetables should be botled, but in the case of lettuce or watercress this Is usually impossible. The only thing one can do ff one does not want to give up eating them Js to wash them thorougbly in several waters. One can even make the first water a soapy one without leaving any disagreeable taste. CREAM SAUCE.

A YOUNG HEGRO ARTIST at the door of Mr. George de Forest Brush, the famous artist. He was eighteen years old, and since that fs not an age of wide worldly expe rience, and he knew Mr. Bush only through his work, It took some cour- age to make the brief journey from the corner to the studio door. Per- haps he would never have ventured {f he had not been somewhat desperate. He meant to put squarely to Mr. Brush the.great question that would settle his life for him: “Do you think Ican ever become an artist?” if Mr. Brush said yes, then be would uot change his fate with anybody In the world. If he sald no, it was good-by to dreams and a return to such occu- pations as are open to. young colored men with a good high-school educe- tion. Richard Brown was bis name and he came from Parkersburg, W. Va.He had been born in Indiana, but all bis life had been spent among the hills of West Virginia. He bad come to know and love those hills as few know and love them. To get away off from everybody and paint them had been his chief pleasure in hfe. He cared to paint nothing but landscape. His parents hed been ambitlous for him and sent him to the West Vir- ginia institute, and there in the, man- ual-training department he was taught house painting. He did well in bis studies and well in his house painting, but {t was in bis work in water colors that he won most applause. Every- body assured him he was remarkable. Fortunately for Richard Brown, heav- en had put bis head on his shoulders iu a very square and legal fashion. He ‘was convinced that New York where great artists Mved and great landscape paintings were collected, would settle his dimculties one way dr the other. Counting his money. hie found he could pay his fare to New York and have two dollars left over. Hardly stopping to consider what might happen to him when that small capital was gone, he took the train. The cost of living in New York would be more than In Parkersburg, that he knew, but he was rather bewil- dered to find that to hire a room would alone require all iis money. He had not, indeed, considered the mat- ter very carefully, but this was a shock. He had the choice of a ‘bed to sleep in and no food, or of food and no bed; naturally he bought comething to eat. The first night he spent in the trains of the elevated railroad. One can ride a long way for five cents and he rode the longest way three times, carry- ing his little bag of, clothing and his precious portfolio. 4 At the end of each journey the guard would yell “Hi, you there! Wake up! All out!” and the exhausted boy would strug- gle up from his cramped corner. The next ten days are a good deal of blank to him. Ho remembers that he ate buns and apples, as providing more food for a starving boy at a cost of five cents than anything else. He made a few pennies in one way or another, but he lived for the most part on his two dollars. Finally he got work house painting. He spent every evening in the Metropolitan mu- seum, The pictures he found there stirred him as nothing else had ever done. Before the landscapes of -the French school, Rousseau and Corot especially, he fairly worshipped. Any self-concelt he may-have had fell away completely before them. He knew he was only at a beginning with a long weary road to travel. So this was the history of Richard Brown who was knocking at Mr. Brush's studio door, that the oracle might speak and determine bis future course. Mr. Brush, fortunately, is by no means so haughty a personage as an art dealer's clerk, for he 1s much too busy to think about his fame in the world. So he invited his caller to come in and said he would be glad to look at his studies. Richard Brown took them ont and held them up for inspection. All his little sketches he showed Mr. Brusb. That gentleman looked at them with interest and asked a few questions. Finally Richard Brown came to the fatal point and asked if Mr. Brush thought he could ever be an artist. To which the great man made prompt reply: “Why, my boy,” he said heartily, “you are one now!” Thus Richard Brown was able to make his great decision. There was an end to anxiety; an end to the period of house painting, buns and It was not long after the desperute pilgrimage to the atudlo of Mr. Brush thet the young artist came in contact with the Natfonal Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the members of the society were among his earliest friends and admir- ers in New York, It {s, therefore, the privilege of the Cri8ls to give the first public reproduction of the work of whieh, the critics say, so much may be heard later—for, fortunately, one may write of Richard Brown frankly, ‘since he has that heaven-sent gift— ability to see bis own shortcomings.— ‘The Crisis. LITTLE JOURNEYS INTO FASHION LAND Long before the present furore for taffeta hats became apparent the mo- tor bonnet was made of that eminently sensible material—eminently sensible because taffeta is easily cleaned, the dust does not cling or sink into it and light brushing will remove every trace of it after a drive. There {sa strong family resemblance between the gauged motor bonnet teade for women and the dafnty pieces of headgear dedicated to children’s outdoor wear in general, and before the milliners had discovered the ad- vantages of taffetas for the motorist the motorists had in many cases sought the department tn which chil- dren's bonnets wére sold and had se sured for themselves headgear orig- inally intended for very youthful dam- sels. Nowadays the taffets motor bonnet 1s an established fashion and can be obtained in models of every descrip- tion. One seen a short time ago is a closely fitting and very becoming de- sign, with a gnome crown and a tlara brim, decorated with an edging of or- namental gimp, while at the left side there fs a cocarde of ribbon.

SALT ON ASPARAGUS. The fallacy that salt is essential to the healthy growth of asparagus has long been understood as existing by those who understand the wants of the asparagus. plant's roots. For years there was an impression that aspara- gus beds should be salted with due regularity, as it was said that the plant In Its native state was indi. genous to salty swamps, and that when grown in other soils this salt should be artificially supplied. This has been found to be not necessary, and now, when an experienced aspara- gue grower fa seen to salt his beds {n the spring or throughout the sumer, ft is for an entirely different purpose than to stimulate the growth of the plants. He does {t to keep the weeds down, as salt kills weeds and does not infure asparagus. It bas been claimed that there is no real fertility in salt and its use as a fertilizer 1s a waste of material, time and energy. Another fallacy believed by some Js that a layer of salt, spread over the asparagus bed in dry weath- er, will bring the presence of moisture to the ground. . It does bring the pres. ence of molsture to one’s attention, but there fs a crust formed that tends to the loss of the very moisture which it Is attempted to conserve. "Instead of wasting salt on asparagus, use chemical fertilizers that are known to be food for the plant's roots and waste uo time or money on salt. WHITEWASH ON THE FARM. Whitewashing the henhouses, coops, vrooders and fences should be done about twice a year in the summer sea- sof. Whitewhsh is recognized as a protector against vermin and also lends @ neat and clean appearance to the farm when abundantly used. It fs quickly put on with a brush or broom and lasts a long time, even during an exceptionally wet season. -If applied with a sprayer; the. whitewash should first be strained to prevent clogging, which nearly invariably occurs. How- ever, if the whitewash {s strained through two thicknesses of cheese- cloth and 2 good sprayer is used there Js not much trouble. ‘The following recipe for whitejrash ean be used to advantage: Slake In boiling’ water one-half bushel of limp, keeping it just fairly covered With water during the process. Strain it to remove the sediment that will fall to the bottom and add to it a peck of salt that has been dissolved in warm water, three pounds of ground rice, polled In water to attain paste, one- halt pound of powdered Spanish whit- tng and one pound of clear glue, dis- solved in warm water. Mix thorougk- ly the different Ingredients and let*the mixture stand for several days. It should be hot when applied. Thig Is a preparation that will last a long time and will stand better and will not wash off so readily as whitewash made from ordinary lime and water, | Hot ILD To prevent oil lamps from smoking fs to take any qantity of onions, bruise them, put all into a retort and distill; pour a little of this lquor {nto the bot- tom of the lamp, and ft will not smoke. Keep the wicks properly trimmed, To brighten colors in wash clothes, use soda in the rinsing water of al: ‘most any blue or purple, and vinegar 2 the rinsing water for pinks and greens. To remove the stains from your hands received while pickling or han- ‘dling acid fruits, wash them In clear water, wipe lightly and while they are yet olst strike a sulphur match and hold your hands" around it so as to cateh the smoke, and the stains will disappear. : To clean Jars, buckets, tubs or bar- rels Js to place a small quantity of lime on the bottom, and then slake It with hot water In which as much, salt hag been dissolved as St will take up.

We have instituted the fashion of entertaining at hotels rather than at home; motor cars have tempted people to leave homes 50 much more frequently that entertain- ing bores them because it tfes them to one spot. Bridge has done away with conversation, therefore good hostesses are robbed of thelr ratson d'etre, and dieting, for one reason or ‘another, has done away with the ne cesalty, and the pleasure of having a good cook or of taking an interest in the menu. There is one old-fashioned hostess ‘who does things In the old way, how- ever. She tastes everything herself Vefore allowing it to be handed to her guests, The nine, the fish, the sauces, everything goes to her first, and pyen a pear must be cut and brought for her inspection before a guest may see it. Nothing but the very best must be offered to one's visitors. Such {s this woman's idea of hospitality, and how charming it 1s, and bow rare! We ure badly attacked by these new methods, and they appeal to many, but the Old World people do not like them, ;They love having thefr friends to dine—but they must be friends, let ft be observed—and they love to give them of their best. The trouble 1s that Old World people’ are faet dying out. Chating dish parties are suitable at any time of year, and the suppers, after the theater or any other enter- tainment, are Indeed popular. The charm of the chafing dish supper lies not in its appointments, but in its sim- plicity, sociability and informal at- mosphere. The secret of success lies fn the preliminary planning, and then being absolutely certain that every- thing needed for the cooking {s just where the hostess can put ber hand on It without having to make frequent trips to the butler’s pantry and Kitchen for various ingredients. ‘The chafing dish course should al- ways be preceded by an appetizer This will give time for the lamp to be lghted under the chafing dish, and if the hot water pan fs required beneath {t there will be time for the water to boll. In using the chafing dish be sure to place It on a metal tray sufficient: ly large to protect the table from boll ing water,’alcohol or fire, Have the lamp fled with alcohol before the guests arrive. Matches can be In a Uttle tray convenfently close at hand. SPRING MIND CLEANING. Just as the prudent and remorse less housewife sets ler house in order when April ts here, cleaning every- thing within reach—and even those objects which are not—so should we contrive to have a spring cleaning of the mind, a careful brushing and sweeping of the dark corners of the soul. We may be sure we have accumu- lated during the winter months quite A number of dusty prejudices, of ridiculous illustons, of silly rancors which should all be swept away, and air and sunlight let it, Change, travel, absence from work and the usual sur- roundings are the brooms with which ‘we must achieve our regeneration. Sense of proportion 1s apt tobe lost at close quarters with troubles, but what seems portentous when We are on Fifth avenue or Broadway assumes its true aspect If we betake ourselves to some qufet spot in the country. A rest—no~“matter how brief—in some place away from home {s perhapa the best way to set about our spring clean- ing of the soul. THE VIRTUES OF MINT. ‘Mint has many virtues. Well wash- ed, the leaves pulled from the stems, slightly mashed and boiling water poured over, there results a sovereign remedy for nervous as well as stom- ach troubles. Served in a thin glass with cracked ice and a little sugar in it, it cools and quiets the system ge erally. In preparing the mint tea the bow! {s kept closely covered until the con- tente are cool; then strain, pour into a bot“e that can be closely corked and vet on the ice; when wanted, {ce should be pounded very fine and a Iit. tle sugar added if I!ked; some prefer the tea unsweetened, SHAW COMMENCEMENT THIRTY YOUNG DOCTORS AND FOUR PHARMACISTS TURNED OUT THIS YEAR BY THE UNI- VERSITY—EXERCISES ATTEND. ED BY REPRESENTATIVE GATH- ERING. ‘i Raleigh, N. C.—The largest assem- bly of cultured colored men and wo- men ever seen-together in this city at- tended the commencement exercises of Shaw university. Al sections of our great country were represented on the spacious rostrum, When President Meserve arose, surrounded by his fac- ulty and many friends both from the south and far distant New England, the chapel was full to overflowing. Shaw university has done a great work among negtoes for more? than fifty years. It has been a great and leading exponent in the higher and in- dustrial education of the negro. Young men and women graduating from this school are doing a great work for the elevation and Christlanizing of the race in all parts of the world. ‘Thirty young doctors and four phar- macists received thelr degrees. ‘The following young men recetved prizes ‘for excellency In study during the four years of thelr school life: The Lewis pfize, S, P. Sebastian, honorable mention, A, D. Brown and F. D. Brown; the Tuskegee prize, R. S. Vass, honorable mention, A. D. Brown and F. D. Brown; the McKee prize, A. B. McKenzie; the Knox prize, J. W. Kay: the Battle prize, J. S. Thompson of sec- ond year; honorable niention, Dennis Branch, second year. The music was under Mrs. Lovey. . Bachelor of theology, William M. Morris, Latta H. Powell and Washing- ton Scott, Six young men recelved the degree of Bachelor of Arts and 22 received certificates of graduation from the nor= mal department. Honorary degrees were conferred by the board of trustees as follows: Charles R. Frazier, “Master of Arts; Rev. W. R. Pettiford, Birmingham, Ala. LL. D.; Rev. A. B. Vincent, Ra- lelgh, N.C, D.

Beaufort, S. C—By a vote of nearly four to one, the South Carolina” dio- cesan council of the Episcopal church decided against creating the position of suffragan bishop, to be/beld by a negro, at this time. As a substitute for the negro suffragun, the counéil ‘appropriated money for the mainte- nance of a negro archdeacon for work among the negro members of the chureh In this state. The resolution against the suffragan bishop proposal was adopted without debate, the coun- cil considering the winter's open dis- cussion of the matter sufficient to en- lighten all the delegates. The resolution was adopted after the presentation of the majority re- port of the committee, favoring the plan, the minority report opposing it. ‘The resolution offered by the Rev. W. H. Barnwell of Stateburg, read as follows: _s Resolved, that this council is not in favor of thé election of a negro sul- fragan bishop at this time.” The mafority report in favor was read ut the morning, session by the Rev, Walter Mitchell’ and the miror- ity report against the Negro suf- fragan by R. I. Manning. Both were referred to the council, sitting as a committee of the whole. in the after- noon. The council took up the reports in executive session. After passing on the suffragan bish- op, $500 was appropriated for a negro archdeacon for work atong the ne- Broes of the state. This i a new de parture in this diocese. BIG NEGRO EXPOSITION ALMOST ASSURED A great question like an appropria- tion for an Emancipation Exposition for American Negroes would naturally precipitate acrimonfous debate on the Face question in the United States senate. Before unanimously passing, on April 2, a bill by Senator Bradley of Kentucky appropriating $250,000.00 for a big Negro show probably in Sa- vaunah, Ga., to celebrate the seml- centenary of the signing of the eman; cipation proclamation, asperity of tem-( per by some of the |Negro-despising; element and a surprising vein of. broad-minded cordiality had to be turned loose in the senate for sensa- tional press matter. All of it made good reading. Senator Root of New York delivered a passionate eulogy of the achievements of the Negro race; Senator Newlands declared in favor of race separation; Senator Bradley re- minded his colleagues that southern Negroes unselfishly protected the white women and children of that sec- tion during the Civil war; Senator Hiteheock could see the appropriation misused to give Negroes jobs merely to apend government money. But fin- ally they got together on the proposi- tion and voted in favor of it. If Sen- ator Tillman's pitchfork had not been bent beyond hope of being~repalred, could you imagine a United States senate voting unanimously on such a question? But walt! Members ofthe house of representatives have yet their chance to create a scene_while con- pidering the bill. ¢ See COOPER & ODRIZEN The Up-to-Date Tailors 218 WEST BROAD STREET, BETWEEN HULL AND OGLETHORPE AVE.

AGENTS WANTED For the Sale of Magic Shaving Powder It gives a quick shave without the use of a RAZOR For Particulars, Write THE SHAVING POWDER CO. The awful calamity that befell the Titanic with its human cargo teaches, like every other visitation of Providence, a lesson that man should lay to heart. It points out the dire consequences of criminal carelessness in regard to human life and furnishes at the same time lessons of heroism, self-sacrifice and conjugal fidelity which will be graven more deeply upon the hearts and minds of men. When the institution of marriage is losing its divine consecration, it is well to call attention to the fine examples of conjugal attachment and devotion as exemplified by some of those who were face to face with grim death on the ill-fated Titanic. The family is the foundation of the social edifice. But for its stability and well-being neither society nor the state could exist. The home is the nursery of all virtues. Parents and children, husband and wife, brothers and sisters, are bound together by an organic tie. Their relations are moral, and the obligations that bind them together are mutual. The importance of parental and filial love in the scheme of society and for the development of humanity resides in the fact that it is the simplest expression of the highest principle of morality, the principle of human fellowship. Therefore Israel has at all times cherished and cultivated zealously the sense of family life. The Bible and the Jewish literature throughout the middle ages overflow with teachings and admonitions looking to the establishment and enrichment of family life. Respect for the family bond became a cornerstone in the sanctuary of Israel's ethics and made for domestic virtue throughout all ages. Domestic peace and social well-being are founded upon reverence for the marriage now. This thought is voiced in the commandment, "Thou shalt not commit adultery," and in the words of Malachi: "Take heed to your spirit and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth." The sacredness of the marriage bond must receive homage in the mutual fidelity of husband and wife. Fidelity was expected from the husband as well as from the wife; he was to love her, to honor her and be true to her. Husband and wife are bound to each other by special obligations. The married state, according to Jewish teaching, is an ideal state. It has been divinely instituted for the happiness of the individual and for the well-being of human society. It is, moreover, a responsible, a holy condition. Since marriage is a holy covenant, it must not be lightly terminated. "He," say the rabbis, "who puts away the wife of his youth for him God's very altars weep." Nowhere in the Bible is the dignity of woman more strikingly set forth than in the beautiful account of the creation of woman. "It is not good," the Almighty says, "that man should be alone. In Scriptural phrase, she is to be "his helper" and yet "his equal." The last chapter in the Book of Proverbs is the noblest picture of womanly virtue and the finest tribute to woman's worth in the whole range of sacred literature. "That man's life is indeed enriched," say the Jewish sages, "who is wedded to a virtuous woman, for with the wife rests the power to make her husband noble or ignoble." The Jewish home has always been the scene of some of the most touching and inspiring religious rites. The home life was lived in the Divine Presence. Outwardly the Jewish home In the congested parts of our city may look poor and squalid, but the presence of God makes it a sanctuary filled with conjugal devotion and with filial love, with reverence for all that is pure, with kindness and good will toward all. The divine name written on the door-post of every Jewish home is but a symbol of the moral purity with which the house is invested. Reverence for home is a Jewish ideal that helps to explain the immortality of the Jew and that has made the Jew a law-abiding citizen in all lands. For the home is a miniature government, based upon obedience to constituted authority. It is the parent's duty to fit his child to be a worthy member of society. The parent will take care that the formation of character keeps pace with the child's physical and intellectual culture. And since character can only be securely rooted in the fear of God, it is the parent's duty to see that his moral training is inspired by religion. "He," say the rabbis, who denies a child religious knowledge robs him of his inheritance." The duties the child owes its parents are clearly defined in the commandment "Honor thy father and thy mother." Fillial love and conjugal fidelity must go hand in hand in the upbuilding of the truly ideal home, of the home that is consecrated to God and to man. MARSHMALLOW FUDGE. For this two cups of brown sugar, two cups of white sugar, two squares of chocolate, two-thirds of a cup of cream and a tablespoonful of butter are required. This should be boiled until it forms a soft ball when dropped into water, and then the pan containing it should be set in cold water until the candy is quite thick, when a teaspoonful of butter is to be added and the candy then stirred until it grains. Then add a dozen marshmallows and one teaspoonful of vanilla. Pour into buttered tins. NEGRO LEADERS MUST BE TRAINED FORTHENEGROPEOPLE To our knowledge, Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, pastor of Plymouth church, Brooklyn, N. Y., has never engaged in any work—religious, educational, or other kind—bringing him in prolonged, intimate contact with the masses of our black Americans, yet he can clearly see at his distance that the negroes of this country need negro leadership, of the right sort, of course. He asserts that "what a white man can never do, the colored man will easily accomplish for his people." Negro leaders, in daily contact with their people, are perennial sources of inspiration to them. With them as living examples, the young people feel that there are heights of recognized ability and greatness to which they may aspire. Failure to place, wherever possible, a qualified black man at the head of certain affairs relating to our people, is nothing more nor less than choking off the inclination of the young to become fitted for the highest places that have been opened up in their race life. To take down, any eminent negro from a position of responsibility and honor and not seek out and place therein another negro amply qualified to assume the office is a heartless blow and a crushing discouragement to the aspiring young men of the race. It must not, on this account, be assumed that we do not desire the help and co-operation of our Caucasian well-wishers along all lines calculated to promote racial development. We have shown in the past that we are grateful for such unselfish interest. But as we gather strength, we want to walk alone. As we become of age in our race life, we want the consideration given us that is accorded every sane and otherwise competent male citizen by the civil laws on reaching his majority—a man's right to command his own affairs and be of the largest possible service to his fellow beings without a premature verdict being passed as to whether or not he can succeed. We are willing to take the chances on going up or down when accorded these inallenable rights. Dr. Hillis' frank statement of a compelling truth prompts a hearty Amen in the hearts of the proud, devoted race constructionists among the black people. Its force and recognition should be fearlessly urged by every negro worthy the sacred trust of race leadership.-Southern Life Magazine. THE RUNAWAY. The rector was sitting in his study hard at work on the following Sunday's sermon when a visitor was announced. She was a hard, muscular looking woman, and when the minister set a chair for her she opened fire somewhat brusquely: "You are Mr. Jenkins, ain't you?" "I am," replied the good man. "Well, maybe you'll remember o' marryin' a couple o' strangers at your church a month ago?" "What were the names?" asked the clergyman. "Peter- Simpson and Eliza Brown," replied the woman, "and I'm Eliza." "Are you, indeed?" said the minister. "I thought I remembered seeing your face before, but—" "Yes," interrupted the visitor. "I'm her, all right, an' I thought how I ought to drop in_n and tell you that Peter escaped." EQUALS OLD WOMAN IN SHOE. It falls to the lot of but few people in these days of much agitation about race suicide to have so many near relatives that they can not be counted. Such a person, however, is Mrs. Rhoda J. Swift of Cedarville, who, somewhat like the old woman who lived in a shoe, had so many relatives she doesn't know what to do. She took a pencil and paper and tried to figure out her relationships. She got up to 270 and then found she had forgotten some. Again she went to the task, and this time figured up about 280, but was not satisfied that she had them all. Another revision brings the figures up to 286. Mrs. Swiftstill believes that she has a few more. According to her figures, Mrs. Swift is aunt to 139, great-aunt to 79, great-great-aunt to 52, grandmother to 6, sister to 4, mother to three and sister-in-law to 3. THE SCHOOL OF EXPERIENCE. Every young negro should be subjected to some hardships, strikingly states an exchange in offering advice to colored fathers and mothers. Parents should not make the beds too easy on which their children lie. Hardship is the native soil of manhood and self-reliance. The man that cannot abide the storm without flinching or qualing, strips himself in the sunshine and lies down by the wayside to be overlooked or forgotten. If he cannot brace himself to the struggle when the winds of adversity blow against him, he must give in when they have spent their fury upon him, and fall asleep in the stillness that follows.

Golden Text—Among them that are born of women there is none greater than John, yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he. Luke 7-28. Lesson Text—Matt. 11:19. Commit vs. 5, 6. Time—Midsummer A. D. 28. Place—Capernaum. Exposition—I. John's Doubt Concerning Jesus, 2-6. Doubts are likely to come to the man if intense activity when he is obliged to sit still and wait (cf. I Kings 19:3-4). Many find difficulty in reconciling John's present questioning with his former clear faith; but those who know men, even the mightiest men of God, and especially those who know their own hearts, with their moments of clear vision and unquestioning faith, and other moments of conflict and uncertainty, will find this story most natural. Indeed it would never have been fabricated in this way, but it bears the evidence of its genuliness on its face. John, in his doubt, did the wisest thing any man can do in his doubt; he went right to Jesus himself with it. He was not clear for the time being that Jesus was "the Coming One;" but he was clear that Jesus' testimony about himself should be accepted. Such a doubter will not remain a doubter. If those who today doubt that Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God would only go right to him and ask him, he would soon tell them. John's question was right to the point, "Art thou the coming one?" (the one whom all the prophets from Moses to Malachi foretold was to come as the fulfiler of God's promises to and glorious plans for his people, or look we for another)? The thought very likely had come to John. "If he is the coming one, why does he delay to manifest himself as king and to dethrone Herod and set me free?" At the very hour John's messengers arrived Jesus was giving ocular dem constration that he was "the coming one" by curing diseases and plagues, opening the eyes of the blind, and casting out evil spirits (cf. Luke 8:21). For an answer to John, he simply points John's two messengers to what they see going on before their very eyes and the glad testimonies that they hear. "Go tell John the things which ye do hear and see." Then follows a catalogue of divine works accomplished before their eyes or testified to in their astonished ears. These POETRY of and by Our People WHICH WAS LOVE? Oh, can't you remember those days of the past? As your sweetheart's dear hands you held so fast. Roamed down by the brook to notice it for the first time. You knew of no pleasanter place to go. You loved it too well to take a trout. As you watched them swim in and out. Oh, the thoughts of love seem so pure. When fond recollections present them to view. Presidence caused him to be away. Yet you were to have been his bride on a pretty May day. When you talked and at last kissed. You were to be true and he was to return before he was missed. This brings back thoughts that are sad. Another gave you candles that made you glad; And you promised, as the May days passed, to be his bride in December. I know these are thoughts that you dislike to remember. A thou wilt as forced saying, I was a girl. Another saying, now I am glad I know the world; And as your first love had earned a fortune for his intended bride, although far away. Oh, how sad was the news that you were another's bride on a December day. Sometimes you are sorry that you were so quick to decide. But all of these faults love soon will hide. Yet, when the first lover heard you had been taken from his side. He never for love nor brooks found no more pride. MANAGING EDITOR'S SONG How dear to my heart is the steady subscriber. Who pays in advance at the birth of each year: Who lays down his money and offers it gladly. And cants 'round the office a halo of cheer! Who never says, "Stop it: I cannot afford it!" Or, "I will getting more papers than I can read!" But always says, "Send it: the family all like it— In fact, we think it a household need!" How welcome he is when he steps in the audium! How he makes our hearts throb! How he makes our eyes dance! We outwardly thank him—we inwardly bless him— The steady subscriber who pays in advance. were the very things predicted of the Messiah (Is. 35:5-6; 42:6-7; 61:1-3) Jesus constantly appealed to his miracles as proof that he was Messiah and the Son of God (John 5:36; 14:11; 15:24). In the present instance the things John's disciples heard reached even to the railing of the dead; for the son of the widow of Nain had been recently raised (cf. Luke 7:11-21) and quite likely was among those about Jesus on this day. Jesus added a gentle word of reproof and warning for John (v. 6). This was a reference to Old Testament prediction concerning the Messiah (Is. 8:14-15). II. Jesus' Testimony to John the Baptist, 7-19. Jesus had sent to John a word of cheer and a word of reproof; but, when the messengers were out of hearing, Jesus gave to the multitudes a glowing testimony to John's worth and greatness. As he had been shaken for a moment in his faith, it might seem to them that he was a "reed shaken with the wind," but he was not. Neither was he a man seeking his own glory and comfort, gorgeously apparched and living delicately (cf. Luke 7:25). He was a prophet, that is, a man directly commissioned, sent and inspired of God, authoritatively declaring God's mind to men (cf. Luke 1:76 and 26). But he was more than that, he was himself the subject of Old Testament prophecy, one of whom the great prophets of olden times had spoken (Mal. 3:1; 4:5-6; Is. 40:3; cf. Luke 1:7-17; 7:6; Is. 12:3). He was chosen from the whole human race to be God's own messenger to go before the face of God incarnate to prepare the way before him. John the Baptist filled one of the loftiest offices ever filled by man. Amongst purely human beings, there is no greater than John the Baptist. And yet Jesus, the Son of God, was so much greater than John the Baptist, that the Catter was not worthy to bear his shoes (ch. 2:11; John 1:27). Great as John was as the forerunner of Christ and preparing the way for the kingdom, he was not yet in the kingdom, and the one who is "but little" in the kingdom, but really in the kingdom, is greater than even John. The one who in this dispensation is actually in the kingdom enjoys privileges immeasurably beyond what any before the kingdom was established ever knew, and yet the full establishment of that kingdom upon earth is still ahead of us. In John the prophets and the law found their culmination. He was the promised Elijah which was to come (12:14). But his generation would not receive him. In the conduct of that generation toward John and toward Jesus we see illustrated the cavilling stubbornness of the human heart. It will not accept John because of his austerity; it will not accept Jesus because of his geniality? Leading Questions—What were the causes that led to John's doubt? What do we learn as to how to have our doubts cured? What proofs of Jesus' deity are found in the lesson? Who today has a higher position than John? A NEW FOUND JOY. I heard the shrieks and cries of birds, And thought they were in danger grave I quickly hastened forth to see, And strict attention to them gave. I saw them whirling in the air, Alighting on a tree near by, And starting off and gallus back, And all the while I heard them cry. No where around was any foo, To make them shriek, to make them cry. I learned they had a new found joy; The nestlings once; they now can fly. Their shrieks and cries came not from fear, But born they were of greatest joy. A joy that thrills with throbbing life And makes of sorrow no alloy. A new found joy's a pleasant thing, Esteemed alike by man and bird; And each of them we always find Expressing it by deed and word. Then fill the air with shrieks and cries Just send them put both far and near— From treetop, valley, mount, and plain— But let them leap from hearts of cheer. A. A. L. Wilson. ABOU BEN ADHEM. Abon Ben Adhem (may his true increase!) Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace. And saw within the moonlight in his room. Making it rich and like a lily in bloom. An angel writing in a book of gold Exceeding peace has made Ben Adhem bold; And to the presence in the room he said, "What writest thou?" the vision raised its head. And, with a look made of all sweet accord. Answered "The names of those who love the Lord." "And is mine one?" said Abou. "Nay, not so." Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low. But cheerly still; and said, "I pray thee, then. Write me as one that loves his fellowmen." The angel wrote, and vanished. The next night. It came again, with a great awakening light. And showed the names whom love of God had blessed; And, lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest. —James Henry Leigh Hunt. SWEETEST AND DEAREST. Sweetest of sweets to the chou art.

Ozone is to take a prominent part in the campaign against the deadly house fly. All disagreeable odors, such as attract files, are caused by tiny particles of decaying organic or vegetable matter floating in the air. Ozone attacks and burns up these particles, removing the odor and destroying the food which would nourish files. Negroes of America Own in Real Estate Alone Many Millions. WONDER OF THE AGES—"HAS MADE GREATEST PROGRESS EVER MADE," SAYS DR. HAWKINS. Send the negro back to Africa? Absurd, impossible. More than a billion dollars' worth of United States real estate which he owns in his own name in the United States is not easily to be taken from him. Besides, the negro is not an African—he is an American. "African" is a misnomer. Why try to send him to a country which is not his own? So say Dr. J. R. Hawkins of North Carolina, secretary and commissioner of education for the African Methodist Episcopal church, a delegate to the general conference, at the Allen chapel, according to the Kansas City Times. Dr. Hawkins has made a study of the business status of colored people in connection with his regular work as one of the foremost educators. NEGRO PROGRESS IN HALF A CENTURY "It probably will startle the world when it realizes that we have acquired in the last 50 years over $1,000,000,000 in real estate," Dr. Hawkins said. "And that is only the beginning of the rapid forward march which the negro is making as a business man. The negro could not help being a business man. He was surrounded with it in the years of his slavery. He was taught how to drive a bargain in horses or real estate, even if his master didn't teach him how to read and write. "There are 400 self-supporting newspapers, daily and weekly, owned and published by negroes in the United States; 3,000 physicians have been graduated from negro and white schools and are now practicing among their people; 2,000 lawyers have been admitted to the bar in the United States courts of justice and 380 authors are found among our race. AFRICA A FAIRY TALE. "We own 11 schools and colleges, representing an investment of $38,000,000, and $45,000,000 has been spent in church property for negroes. Negro men own and control 51 banks, which are prosperous and flourishing, and $650,000 has been invested in negro 11 libraries. And it is significant that in the southland negroes own 180,000 farms on which 50 years ago they toiled to the crack of the slave driver's whip "The negro is a born American, and he feels it is his country. Africa has no call on him. It is as a fairy tale to him. Pestilence and disease are not uncommon in Africa, but gospel, the reformers and teachers of the youth are argued to warn and instruct that better conditions may be brought to pass. Criminal instincts cannot be attributed to all who break the law and the idea of no material gain and of swift and terrible retribution will destroy in many cases the tendency and thought toward the committing of crime. Holdup men are never at ease and seldom wealthy FARM PROPERTY AMONG NEGROES The value of farm property, owned and rented by colored farmers has, in the southern states, increased from 50 per cent. to 225 per cent. in the last ten years. In Texas, for instance, it has gone from $56,000,000 to $113,000,000; in North Carolina from $29,000,000 to $81,000,000, and in Georgia from $48,000,000 to $158,000,000. Nor has this been merely increased in the value of the same land. In these ten states the Negroes controlled, in 1910, 3,683,154 more acres than in 1900. It is not yet possible to separate the land owners and the renters. We only know that the owners have increased in eight states from 125,412 to 149,235 in these ten years. We dare affirm that no class of white peasantry in any European state has in the face of the most favorable ordinary conditions paralleled this record which the colored people have made.—The Crisis. MAKE FAVORABLE IMPRES- SION. Tuskegee, Ala.-Among the delegates to the recent International Conference on the Negro, held at Tuskegee institute, were three distinguished representatives from Barbadoes, British West Indies. These gentlemen were: Washington Harper, shipwright; A. R. Parkinson, teacher, and Elliott Durant, journalist, all of Bridgetown. An interesting thing about the selection of these gentlemen as delegates is that the governor, of Barbadoes called a special meeting of the people to select these delegates and co-operated in every way in the matter of arranging for these men to visit the Tuskegee school. Mr. Harper, who calls himself a shipwright, is a most eloquent speaker, and all of the delegates were keenly alive to the needs of the little island in the Caribbean sea. During their visit to the east they have met many old friends, among others Dr. York Russell of New York, who was a fellow teacher in Barbadoes with Mr. Parkinson. Reports which come to Tuskegee are to the effect that no others in attendance at the recent conference were more helpful and made a better impression than these three men from Barbadoes. NO LONGER DOUBT OF WIDE-SPREAD RACIAL CONSPIRACY. Havana.—There is no room for doubt of the existence of a negro conspiracy extending to all the provinces of the island, with the apparent intention of taking up arms against the government today, which was the tenth anniversary of the Cuban independence. The negroes appear to have become aroused to rebellion by the denial of what seems to them their just political reward for services rendered in the war of independence, in which they constituted a great majority of the Cuban forces. The feeling against the government has been intensified by a law denying negroes the right to organize a political party. The principal trouble now is in the vicinity of Sagua la Grande, where two armed parties are operating, and in Oriente province, where several bands are converging on Guantanamo City, with the apparent purpose of making a display of force at that place. The rural guard dispersed one small party and captured two others. Troops Are Ordered Out. The situation is considered sufficiently grave for the government to dispatch a column of 1,200 men from Camp Columbia, composed of cavalry and infantry, with field and machine guns, bound for Santa Clara and Oriente provinces. Near Sagua la Grande a squad of rurales had an engagement with an armed band of negroes. One of the guards was killed and the negroes escaped. From Cruces comes the report that residents of the surrounding country are fleeing to the city for shelter. The insurgents are reported to have held up a locomotive and stolen many horses. A dispatch received by the government from Lajas, Santa Clara, says that a negro band headed by Simon Armenteros, destroyed the telegraph station at the Santissima plantation at Trinidad, in Santa Clara, and also burned a bridge of the railway from Sagua la Grande to Clenfugos. Armenteros declares that it is his intention to do his utmost to destroy foreign property. At Mariano, 8 miles from Havana, the rural guard exchanged shots with a party of negroes, capturing one of them and also nine rifles. GIVE US BACK OUR WHITE NEGROES There is much discussion going on in the white newspapers of this section over what seems to be a decrease in the per cent. of increase of the population of the negro race, comments the Colored Alabaman of Montgomery. We would respectfully call their attention to the fact that whatever increase is made in the negro population is perfectly "natural," for there is practically no immigration of blacks from other countries to the United States. On the other hand there are hundreds of thousands of whites who come to this country each year. We would also call the attention of the whites who seem to be a little happy over the situation to the fact that there are thousands of negroes going over to the white race each year. Many negroes move from one state to the other and send their children to white schools and join white churches. Conductors on street cars and trains can't tell whites from negroes sometimes. We have seen negroes with whom we were well acquainted pass for white right here in the city of Montgomery. When the census is being taken all such negroes are counted in with white people and the totals are made up and published showing that the negro race is dying out, etc. If they will give us back our white negroes, we will make a better showing in 1920. There are laws against the intermarriage of whites and blacks; and other laws against whites and blacks sitting together on trains and in street cars, and a thousand other barriers, but this whitening process is still going on. TALKS ON SURFACE UNDER- DRAINAGE PROBLEM. Normal, Ala. — Concluding the course of lectures which he has been delivering at the Agricultural and Mechanical college at Normal this year, Ben P. Hunt discussed in a most effective way the "Surface Underdrainage Problem," now before the south and the southern farmer. He declared that this is one of the greatest industrial problems which confronts the south and the American people. Speakfurther along this line, he said in part: "The importance of this subject has been brought to my mind and impressed by the recent overflows and terrible damages in several of the southern states through the unusual rainfall for the past few months. It is the big problem and its successful solution will require the co-operative work of the federal government, the states and the counties interested." GET TOGETHER ON A DEFINITE PLAN. The negro newspapers are gaining in influence. And in this dark period it is incumbent upon the negro publishers of newspapers tõ. get together and in an impassionate way counsel what they believe to be the best policy to pursue to create n'sentiment against lynching, says the Nashville Globe. The Farm SIMPLE FARM HYGIENE. BY E. V. T. For stiffness in bind legs of work horses or mules, which often shows up the morning after a day's work, the animal should be given his liberty in a box stall and not tied in a small stall. Bandage the animal's hind legs from hoofs to hocks each time he comes in from work. This will relieve him and in time cure him unless he has bone spavin, when firing and blistering will have to be done by a veterinarian. For unhealthy skin indications in animals, a remedy is often effected by careful feeding management and the use of a tonic. For sidebones on the foot of a horse, a remedy and cure can be effected and the lameness removed by cutting away a semi-circle of the wall just under sidebone at ground surface of foot and putting on a flat bar shoe. Clip the hair from hoofhead and blister twice a month with cerate of concharides. For a hard boony lump or bone tumor on the knee of a horse which has been there for some time, clip the hair and blister the lump twice a month with a mixture of one dram of binidate of mercury and one ounce of lard. Rub this preparation into the lump for a quarter of an hour, and three days later rub with plain lard and use the lard once daily thereafter until skin is sound. Do not wash the blister off. Keep the horse tiled while the blister is acting, and in such a way that he can not strike his knee against anything when he paws. When a horse has a lump under its jaw, caused by distemper, poulice it with hot flaxseed meal until soft in the center, when it will have to be opened for the evacuation of pus. For the cough that usually accompanies distemper, give a tablespoonful of glyco-heroin two or three times a day. For the removal of warts or lunches under the lower jaw of young cattle, tie a fine cord around the base of each wart, and they will probably drop off in time. They can be twisted off at once and the bleeding stopped by canterling the wounds with a hot iron or some good solution or powder. For punctured foot of a cow, caused by stepping upon a nail or some sharp instrument, apply equal parts of powdered alum, oxide of zinc and anonic acid twice a day; cover foot with plenty of oakum and put a cloth boot over it, which will keep the foot clean and give the wound a chance to heal. For barren cows, conditions are sometimes helped by the use of an injection when she comes in heat, composed of two ounces of cooking soda dissolved in three plants of tepid water, this solution to be used when warm For swelling of a calf's tongue, a solution of borax water or alum water will give relief and probably a cure. To prevent germs and flth from entering through the navel the body of very young calves, which often are afflicted with scours from this very cause, the stall in which a cow calves should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with a coal tar dip solution just prior and after the cow has calved. Also the navel should be disinfected with the same solution, or a 1-to-500 solution of corrosive sublimate. For ordinary scours in young calves, give the calf only clean, sweet, warm milk at least three times daily, with a teaspoonful of blood meal in the milk at least twice a day. If the scours have already appeared, cut down the feed, and give the animal two to six tablespoonsful of castor oil, shaken un in scalded milk. The amount of oil given should depend upon the size and age of the calf. Follow the oil dose twice daily with two teaspoonful doses of a mixture composed of two parts of subnitrate of bismuth and salol in a little milk. Another mixture equally as officacious to follow the oil is one composed of twenty drops of laudanum, a teaspoonful of dried blood and one or two raw eggs. An easily applied remedy is a solution made by dissolving one-half ounce of formaldehyde in 16 ounces of rain water and adding it to the milk at the rate of a teaspoonful to each pint. A remedy for thumps in pigs is composed of ten drops of aconite and five drops of belladonna in a little milk or water twice a day. Canker sore mouth, which is one of the most destructive of all diseases among young pigs, and which often appears on the lower jaw, which turns black and forms a pus and scabby sore. is an ointment made by mixing one-half, ounce of iodine with eight ounces of vaseline and applying it to the swollen places every three days if the sores are not broken and running. Otherwise the diseased flesh should be cut out and the wound disinfected with some good caustic as chloride of antimony, silver nitrate or copper sulphate, applying the caustic lightly with a feather or camelhair brush, unless the copper sulphate is used, when it should be dissolved in water at the rate of one ounce to a pint of water. Treat the sores once or twice daily for three or four days and wash with a tobacco decoction and cover the wound with pine tar. Repeat the treatment if the trouble again appears. Pigs should be given a tonic while treated. This tonic can be composed of a dessertspoonful of brandy, an egg beaten in skim milk and two grains of quinine. The pigs in a litter that have not shown the presence of canker mouth should be at once separated from the diseased pigs and treated with an ointment on their jaws, made by mixing one ounce of carbolic acid with a half pint of raw linseed oil, thus preventing the 'spores or germs of the disease from getting a foothold. A good way to prevent fever in a sow in farrowing time is to cut down her ration three or four days beforehand and to feed nothing the first day after farrowing, and only light bran or short mashes for two or three days thereafter. A tablespoonful of epsom salts once a day in the slop is also a good preventive. Fits in pigs are often caused by overfeeding and lack of exercise. In such cases stop all other feeds and give a slop of milk, middlings and lime water, the latter at the rate of one ounce to the quart. Also give them roots and alfalfa hay and let them have plenty of exercise in a large shed if they can not run out of doors. DRY FEED FOR CHICKS. The best success in general with young chicks is secured by feeding dry feeds only. Commercial chick feed containing a variety of small grain is excellent. This should be furnished in a sanitary feed box so constructed that the chicks can easily reach the grain, but can not step into or otherwise soil the contents of the box. The box should be kept filled all the time, as then the chicks can eat whenever they are hungry. They will eat frequently during the day, but will never eat enough to injure them. The practice of scattering feed for young chicks on the floor of the brooder is a bad one. The feed becomes solled and mixed with their droppings; hence germ diseases and sickness will follow. For similar reasons, chicks should never be allowed to step into either their feed box or drinking vessel, as the filth on their feet is very apt to carry gorms of disease. Cleanliness in food and drink is the watchword of success with these young birds. Keeping the floor of the brooder covered with clean newspapers, removing and renewing them twice daily, will aid wonderfully in promoting cleanliness and the health of the brood Almost all persons have trouble in feeding soft feed to chicks, yet soft feeds in moderation may be given without ill results. The trouble comes from furnishing more of the soft feeds than the brood will clean up at one time. That which stands for a few hours begins to sour, or ferment, and this sourced feed when eaten by the chicks causes bowel trouble. Young animals of all kinds will eat more of soft than of dry feeds; hence, when a large wet feed is given, the young birds take more than they can quickly digest, with the result that the food sours in their crops, causing digestive troubles. When moist feeds are given, let them be small and only what the brood will clean up within a few seconds. But dry feeds and pure water at all times are safer and better. WHY SOME SOWS EAT PIGS. Not infrequently a sow will eat one or more of her newly-born pigs, and in some cases she will devour all of them. This habit of females eating their own young is quite common among many species of animals. Just why they do it is not definitely known. Belgian hares in close confinement are known to devour entire litters, and one litter after another in succession. The habit seems abnormal and contrary to nature, yet it may be a part of wisdom in nature's plan. As a rule a sow that farrows in a large lot or open pasture in the spring or summer seldom eats her newlyborn pigs; hence it is very likely that close confinement aggravates the habit. There is little doubt that the sow, which is fed on a narrow ration, one containing insufficient protein, is more apt to eat her pigs than the sow that is fed a variety, with a relatively large amount of protein. The sow at farrowing time that is rather fat and feverish, perhaps disturbed and excited, is very likely to step on or lie on a pig, and whether or not blood is present she may eat the pig at once. If she eats one, she may eat more than one, and eventually may become a chronic pig-eater. The sow farrowing in rather close confinement should be watched if possible while farrowing takes place and for several hours afterward, yet if human presence causes undue excitement, it is better to remain away altogether for the first day. If trouble in this line is suspected, it will be well to gain the friendship of the sow a week or two in advance of the critical period so she will feel more at ease in your presence. Never allow the sow to become over fat, feed a variety—never corn alone—and supply some green feeds or other kinds that will have a laxative effect in order to avoid a feverish condition. Use tankage, shorts and a small amount of wheat bran in the slop. If a pig is killed in the bad, remove it, if possible, before the sow knows it. 7 © Ss aa = ae With pasha PITTING SUIT ON WHO MADE IT? . | lh (H ~~, FELDMAN, THE TAILOR t | 2.) 5098 WEST BROAD ST. =)” f .
