The Savannah Tribune VOLUME XXVIII Large Attendance At Public Schools ABOUT TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED NEGRO CHILDREN ENROLLED. New School Has Full Quota—Many Refused Admission Until Vaccinated—Old Schools All Well Filled. The public schools of the city were opened on Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock with the usual large attendance. Cards of admission were given out on Monday from nine o'clock to one, and during these hours there was the customary throng of parents seeking admission for their children. Many were turned away from the old schools with disappointment because there was no room for their little ones. The new school at Haven Home is well filled, but owing to the fact that many parents thinking it still a private school did not send their children there. In this school there, are about two hundred and fifty pupils giving an average of about fifty to each teacher. Many little ones were refused admission because their parents through negligence had failed to have them properly vaccinated. The Haven Home on the west side greatly lessens the demand for seats in the primary grades in that section of the city but no provision has been made for the large number of little ones on the east side. There are now enrolled about twenty-five hundred pupils in the colored schools as follows: The private schools of the city all opened with alarge attendance. Enrollment will be given next week.

All during the week the railroad stations of the city have presented a lively appearance with scores of students who have been departing for the various Negro colleges of south. The marriage of Miss Etta Mue Bowers, adopted daughter of Mrs. E. C. Haynes, of this city, to Mr. Weston B. McGhee of Aiken, S. C., was a beautiful occasion, and of great interest to a wide circle of friends. The marriage was solemnized on Wednesday at high noon, at the First African Baptist church. The handsome church never looked more beautiful than it did on this occasion, with its decorations of large palms and pink roses, arranged in charming effect by artistic hands. A beautiful arch was made for the occasion and it was under this that the ceremony was performed. At the appointed hour the church was filled with the friends of this popular young couple. To the strains of Mendelshon's Wedding March, beautifully rendered by Miss Sadye E. Washington on the Sunday School piano, the ushers, Messrs M. B. Fleming and George Moody, Jr., walked up the aisle taking their places, one on each side of the altar; these were followed by the bridemaids, Miss Johnson, of Aiken, with Mr. Eugene Patterson, Miss Jestine Cleveland with Mr. Eugene McGhee of Aiken, and Miss Julia Glover with Mr. Edward Meyers. Then came the bride, leaning gracefully on the arm of her maid of honor, Miss Julia Moore, who wore light blue messaline and satin slippers to match, and carried a bouquet of lovely roses. They were met at the altar by the groom and his best man, Mr. Henry Mitchell. The ceremony was impressively performed by the Rev. C. W. Waller, pastor of the church. After the ceremony the bridal party left the church to the strains of Mendelshon's Wedding March. The bride looked extremely charming. She wore a gown of copenhagen blue messaline with satin slippers to match and carried a bouquet of bridal roses. The bridesmaids looked dainty and sweet. Immediately after the ceremony the bridal party was driven to the home of the bride's adopted mother, Mrs. E. C. Haynes, on Prince St., where the bride changed her wedding-gown for a beautiful traveling coat suit of tan champagne serge. With this she wore hat, gloves and shoes to match. The informal reception was held on Tuesday night, many very beautiful and useful wedding gifts were received by the young couple. Amid the good wishes of a hosts of friends, the bride and groom left on the 1:45 train for Aiken, S. C., where they will make their future home. Among the out of town guests were Miss Minnie Johnson, Mrs. A. B. McGhee, Messrs Eugene McGhee, Henry Mitchell of Aiken, S. C., and the bride's mother, Mrs. Mary Bowers of Orangeburg, S. C. Messrs George Moody, Jr., and Dr. J. M. Wright accompanied the party to Yemassee. Especially day night fourteen Atlanta, tend the city. And has never the young as happy a picnic.

Especially, was this true on Monday night when a jolly crowd of fourteen students left the city for Atlanta, Ga., where they will attend the various colleges of that city. A more representative crowd has never gone away at one time. The young folks in this party were as happy as if they were going on a picnic. As the train pulled out long farewells were shouted by the parents and friends of the young people who are to spend the coming eight months in an endeavor to fit themselves for life's work. This year finds Savannah very well represented in almost all the reputable Negro Colleges of the south, the largest delegation being in Atlanta University where there are fourteen students from this city. While the number of students from this city to enter the various colleges of the south this year is by no means a record breaker, yet it is a large increase over that of the last two years. Probably the school which has the greatest increase of students from Savannah this year is Howard University, Washington, D.C. Among those to leave the city in the past two weeks for the various schools are: To Atlanta University: Misses Lucile Shevers, Bessie Durden, Lucile Tucker, Gertrude Walters, Edith Bythewood, Lorine Jefferson, Gertrude Wallace, Mabel Robinson, Christine Wilson, Messrs Houston Tolbert, and Meldrim Tucker. To Spellman Seminary; Miss Janie L Tillie. To Clafin University; Clayton Canail and Miss Ethel Grant. To Fisk University, Miss Cornelia McDowell. Fall Opening Colored Millinery Monday The grand fall opening of the Colored Millinery store, 464 West Broad street will be held on Monday October 7th. The display of head gear will eclipse in beauty anything which has yet been shown at this reputable establishment and it is very likely that a continual flow of ladies will be going in and out this popular store all day long. It will be recalled that the seasons' openings which this establishment has had in past years have all been very creditible and no doubt the one of the coming Monday will be a matter of town talk for many months. As is the custom there will be music in abundance and other delightful treats which will greet the patrons of this store as they attend this grand fall opening. Barnwell.

BOWERS-MCGHER The Musical at Tabernacle Baptist church Sundny night, September 29th, was indeed a rare treat to all lovers of good music. The entire program was good. The choir was simply grand. The Penn School Quartett. composed of Messrs Blanton, Hall, Watson and Washington, rendered some real choice music. "I cannot drift" seemed to have taken the audience by storm. Mr. Blanton sang "The Song I heard one Sunday morn," which was a real beautiful selection.

Mrs. Matilda SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1912 Savannah Well Represented In Colleges WEEK A BUSY ONE WITH STUDENTS DEPARTING FOR SCHOOLS Largest Delegation Left, City Monday Night-City's Representation In Schools One of Largest In Recent Years. Large Excursion in City Last Monday OVER ONE HUNDRED LEFT IN TOWN "Over Romers" Took in The Sights of City-Mis under restaining of Leaving Time Cause of Many Remaining Over Night. A large excursion from Beaufort, S. C., and adjacent islands came to the city Monday afternoon about three o'clock. The farmers of Ladies Island were in charge of the excursion and it was the annual outing, which comes to this city every year. There were about five hundred persons on the excursion, which came over on the steamer Islander. The boat was late in leaving "over home" and when it arrived in the city it was about three o'clock, about three hours later than excursions generally arrive here from the beautiful little South Carolina town. Since the boat was late in arriving about one hundred and fifty of the excursionists assumed that the sailing hour would be postponed an hour or two and bused themselves in going all over the city; some visiting friends while others took in the sights. But alas, those in charge of the excursion did not deem it expedient to deviate from the usual custom of leaving here about five o'clock and when the good old steamer Islander pulled out there was about one-fourth of the original crowd found missing. In droves the belated "over honers" came rushing to the wharf, but the steamer had gone and they were left standing in amazement wondering how it all happened, when finally it dawned upon them that Savannah never does things by halves and so sent the steamer off on her return trip on time. The left-overs then wandered into various sections of the city, seeking lodging for the night, not a difficult thing for folks from Beaufort to find since they all have some relation here, and on the next morning left for home with a little better acquaintance with Savannah than they had bargained for. Action of Pastor Approved by Vote of the Church. Savannah, Ga., Oct. 3, 1912. Editor The Savannah Tribune: Dear Sir: Please allow me space in your paper to announce that on last night, Tuesday, October 2nd, there was a very enthusiastic meeting held at the Mt. Zion Baptist church for the purpose of settling a matter that had misled the public by a few officers of the church. After a soul-stirring prayer meeting, the pastor, Rev. McD. Spencer, announced the object of the meeting, after which the meeting was conducted by Rev. H. L. Heyward, Moderator protem., who is also vice-moderator of the Berean Baptist Association; alternate was Rev. T. B. Maxwell, missionary of the Berean Association. Col. F. B. Pettie was present to tally as the financial roll was called, there being seventy-four (74) members present and by the roll sixty-one (61) were for selling of the old church site while thirteen (13) opposed it. This great majority of votes gives sanction to the action of the last conference which was held September 2, 1912. The conference gave the trustees the privilege of selling the church site with the further privilege of purchasing another site for the said church. This failed to meet the approval of three (3) deacons who were absent from the conference and who caused a false report to be circulated that the property was about to be disposed of without the knowledge of the members of the church. I wish to say to the readers of The Tribune and friends of the Mt. Zion Baptist church, all that the trustees and pastor did was so ordered by the regular conference held September 2nd, 1912, and on last night the same was confirmed as legal. Respectfully yours, Dea. L. L. James, Jr. Church Clerk. St. Stephen's Episcopal Church There will be no morning service at St. Stephen's Episcopal church to morrow, but the regular evening service will take place as usual at 8:15. The speaker on this occasion is thoroughly wide awake and those who attend will not regret going. A hearty welcome to all. Among The Masons. There comes a time in the life of every man when he needs that which money cannot buy. Sickness lays him low, sorrow throws its pall over his life, his plans fail, all things press heavily upon him—he needs a friend. Our Institution tries to do its share in lifting the weight of sorrow from human hearts. From thousands of those who have felt the touch of its beneficent hand the song of its praise ascends to heaven.—Corner Stone. Ours is more than a mere selfish and mercenary friendship—more than the flattering shadow that follows the sunshine of wealth and fame; more than the beautiful semblance of a substance which cynics have derided and misanthropes have spurned. Ours is a generous system, which no misfortune can weaken, no disaster destroy—one which stands the warm kisses of the sun and the tempestuous wave of the storm—R. H. Taylor, Arkansas. God Himself is the friend of the poor, and no respecter of persons. His government, as revealed to us, provides for the poor of the earth—for the weak, the sinful, and the very best thing good men can do is to follow His rules in their dealings with their fellowmen. Let them work to save men right here in this life by giving them help, aid and assistance in making a living and maintaining character, and the fruits of such labor will be found after many days.—Masonic Advocate 1877. Look well to the ballot box. Be sure that the man you recommend will be a Mason at heart, as well as in name. Remember also, that we are to be good men and true. Regard your brother's welfare as your own. If he hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink. Take the principles of this great institution; "The Fatherhood of God, and the Brotherhood of Man" into your daily life. If a brother stray from the straight and narrow path, go to him, remind him of his error, and if possible, aid a reformation.—Robert H. Ferguson, Grand High Priest of Virginia. The fact is as glaring as the noonday sun that thousands are punished, discarded from society and incarcerated in prisons, who would have become honorable and useful citizens if but a spark of sympathy had been shown them. They did wrong, they violated the law, and were unable to make any defense, and they have been struck down just as though they they did not belong to the human race. Malignancy triumphs over the spirit of human brotherhood, and the miserable victim is shut out from the light of the sun, as one no longer deserving the respect or confidence of society. DEARTH OF BROTHERS: A brother tells of a visit which he made some time ago to a Lodge, which is rather interesting. He says that he was taken in charge by a brother who took great pleasure in introducing him to Judge So-and-So, Colonel Doe, Captain Roe and Honorable Sloe. There seems to be a superabundance of titles and handles present, but a dearth of Brothers was quite noticeable. The brother admits that he felt out of place and wondered whether or not he was in a Masonic Lodge. It is quite apparent that this Lodge belonged to the silk stocking class, and that its chief pride lay in the fact that its membership embraced men of public prominence. The fundamental idea of the fathers in Masonry was an institution in which all ranks should be leveled and men should come together as brethren around a common altar. The introduction of titles in a Masonic Lodge is a serious innovation and should be discountenanced. The only appellation any Mason should have in a Masonic Lodge is that of brother.—Illinois Freemason. Father Gregory, O. S. B., Dead. Father Gregory, G. S. B., Dead. Father Gregory, who, for over ten years, was pastor of St. Benedict's church and therefore well known amongst the colored people of Savannah, died last Monday at Richmond, Va. A memorial service will be held on Monday morning at 8:30 o'clock in St. Benedict's church. It will consist in a solemn requiem mass with the Libera. The colored Catholics and the friends of the deceased priest are requested to attend and to offer up special prayers for the repose of his soul. NUMBER 3 Georgia State Industrial College. Georgia State Industrial College. OPENS WITH ENROLLMENT OF TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHT STUDENTS Students From Every Section of State—Prospects Bright for Successful Year. The Georgia State and Industrial College began its twenty-second year on last Tuesday and prospects, for one of the most successful years in the history of the school are very bright. The enrollment on opening day was very encouraging, there being two hundred and eight students. Opening day was one of real welcoming on the campus among the students, several of whom had spent the vacation in the north, while others there were, who, passing the summer months in the rural districts of the state, were delighted to be back upon the campus. The student body which is composed of students from every section of the state is a very creditable one. The percentage of girls in attendance from the city is about the same as last year. A Delightful Sacred Concert The sacred concert given the Second Baptist Church last Sunday at 4 o'clock for the benefit of the church was the most interesting and entertaining of the many classical entertainments given recently. Every one who took part in the program deserves special words of praise. Misses Mamie Bostick, Agnes Douglass and Mrs. M. E. Harper pleased the audience with their singing and readings, also Master I. B. Reid. Miss Geneva Fisher in her solo and reading was far above the average and bids fair to make a place for herself among our leading elocutionists. The Imperial Quartette was also at its best. The instrumental duets by Messrs. Mungin and Burke were up to high standard of excellence, as was the solo sung by Mr. J. H. C. Jenkins. The committee desires to thank every one who helped them make this entertainment a success. Wilson-Foote. Married in Brooklyn, N. Y., September 5th, 1912, by the Rev. Geo. F.

Hearty singing A cordial welcome e to all Two Business Places Taken Over by Negroes Within the past few days there were two new business places in the city taken over by Negroes. The first was that at the northwest corner of Ogeechee avenue and Centre street which was purchased by Mr. Richard Carr several weeks ago, a report of which was given by The.Tribune at the time. Mr. Carr, who was one of the leading Negro merchants of Beaufort, S. C., where he conducted a dry goods store, arrived in the city several days prior to last Saturday when he took charge of his new business which consists of a grocery store with a saloon in the rear. The business and building were purchased by Mr. Carr for a sum said to be five thousand dollars. The other is the saloon at the southwest corner of Minis and West Broad streets which was taken over by Mr. J. H. Wiley on last Tuesday night. Mr. Wiley who is originally from Washington, D. C., was at one time with the Little Savoy in New York city and later was chef in the Pullman service. There are besides these two saloons two others conducted by Negroes, namely, one at West Broad and Gaston, run by Mr. Andrew Patterson, the other at West Broad and Waldburg operated by Mr. Joseph Jennings.

GOOD ROADS Boston Man Returns From Trip Abroad and Teils of Superiority of European Highways. Well satisfied that the European countries have little to teach this country in the way of manufacture of motor cars, J. H. MacAlman, president of the Boston Automobile Dealers' association, returned recently. It was a vacation trip for Mr. MacAlman, but he took care to note the state of the motoring industry in the different countries and to observe the condition of the highways. While praising the magnificent systems of highways in Great Britain and on the Continent, where he found roads everywhere equal to our best, he is of the opinion that the magnificent care that is taken of them. The principal roads are under national control, and are never allowed to wear out. All along the main routes of travel there are posted at intervals men who have a supply of road material at hand, and when a hole appears in the road surface, the road repairers at once pound stone into it and stop the wear. The traffic over these roads is heavy, but on none of them, according to Mr. MacAlman, is the traffic as heavy as that over such a road as the Revere Beach Parkway and other main avenues of motor travel out of Boston. What struck him particularly forcible in England was the fact that no matter where he wanted to go there were first-class roads, due to the fact that England has been building good roads for centuries, while the good roads idea in the United States is scarcely a score of years old. ARRANGING GRADE OF CREAM Lack of Quality Has Long Been Detriment to Dairy Interests of the United States. Increased attention is being given in butter-producing districts to the grading of cream and the arranging of price schedules to conform more nearly with the real value of different grades of the product. Lack of quality has long been a serious detriment to the dairy interests, of the United States, regardless of locality. The production of a higher quality of cream by the individual farmer has long been urged by the creamyery operators as the prime necessity to the production of better butter. For the most part, however, creamyery interests and creamyery operators—even under the co-operative plan—have offered no particular inducement to the farmer to improve the quality of his product. Producing cream under the most improved conditions and keeping and delivering it in the best possible condition generally costs more work and more money than the production of an inferior product. As long as cream is paid for on a flat scale at so much per pound of butter fat regardless of condition, the great bulk of farmers are not going to spend money and effort to deliver a high-grade product at the creamyery. When, however, a price difference is paid commensurate with the real difference in quality the matter becomes a question of economics, as it properly should, and there is a tangible object in delivering cream of high quality. There is just as much good, sound season back of grading cream as paying for it according to its relative value as there is in the grading of wheat and corn. Storing Pumpkins in the Field. You needn't expect to reap much profit from gorging your hogs and cattle on pumpkins for a few days during the harvest season, then cutting off their supply of this valuable feed for another whole year. Store your pumpkins in the field. Pile the pumpkins in a row, as high and as wide as you wish, cover with hay and set up fodder on each side to a thickness of three or four feet. This not only affords ample protection from cold, but it enables you to form a' most profitable balanced ration by adding "the fruit of the vine" as you feed out the corn and fodder. Filling the Orchard. The vacant places in an orchard caused by poor stock, injury in cultivation or borers, it may be as well to fill in with younger trees up to the age of about eight years. After that time the older trees will occupy the ground so fully with their root systems that young trees set make very little growth and seldom amount to much when they arrive at a bearing age. Sheep in the Orchard If fruit trees are a good size and there is some wasteful fruit on the ground, or plenty of grass and weeds here and there, to turn a few sheep in, it is more likely to do the ground good than harm. There must, however, be sufficient food somewhere to keep the young from getting hungry enough to get after the bark or twigs. COST GF ROAD IMPROVEMENT Secretary Wilson Shows That 300,000 Miles of Public Thoroughfares Need Batterment. According to information just made public by the director of the office of public roads, Indiana leads all the states of the Union in mileage of improved roads.- Most of the improved roads of Indiana and Ohio are composed of gravel and were, for the most part, built by farmers in working out the taxes. The eight leading good roads states are: Indiana, Ohio, New York, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Illinois, California and Massachusetts. The states which are leading in progressive road building are: New York, Georgia, Washington, Missouri, South Carolina, Alabama, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, New Jersey, Florida and Maryland. That the nation-wide movement for the improvement of the public roads involves a large undertaking is indicated by information just made public by the U. S. department of agriculture. Secretary Wilson shows that 300,000 miles of roads must be improved before the public road system can be considered really efficient It is only within recent years that the movement for better roads has galned force. The consequences of delay are shown in the fact that there are now but 190,476 miles of improved roads in this country. These improved roads constitute 8.66 per cent. of the total mileage of all public roads, improved and unimproved. It is figured that the percentage will have to be increased to 20 before traffic can be moved throughout the country with the minimum of wear and tear on horse, wagons and automobiles. The French system of roads, long considered the best in the world, was bonded by Napoleon III. for $6,000,000, and something in the neighborhood of $612,775,000 has already been spent on that system. In this country, owing to the great distances, it is probable that close to $2,000,000,000 will have to be spent before a proper road system is developed. While the amount necessary to perfect a great road system seems fabulously large, it does not seem too large when it is divided among the various states and spread over a period of five, ten or fifteen years. When it is considered that New York state has bonded itself for $50,000,000 and that $5,000,000 a year is now being expended by that state, it will be seen that a nation-wide system might soon be perfected were all states to progress as rapidly. South Carolina, Alabama and Florida have also made great gains by building sand-clay roads, and this is a very cheap and satisfactory type of road building. The window gardener's year begins in September, because that is the time to bring tender plants indoors, and because bulbs begin to arrive then. The ideal is to have flowers indoors every day from the first frost of autumn until the last frost of spring. Bulbs alone will give flowers from Christmas to Easter. A little $2 collection of bulbs, will give a spot of color daily if carefully selected and managed, but it is pleasant to have a roomful of bulbs—about 250 pots. The most practical bulbs for Christmas bloom are Roman hyacinths and the paper white narcissus. Chinese sacred lilies will also bloom then if protected from drafts. For February, plan to have crocuses. For March and April plan to have tullips, hyacinths and daffodils. Asparagus Doubly Useful. Asparagus plant is hardy. It requires six weeks for the seed to germinate and come up. The young plants may be cultivated in rows as other garden vegetables, and set in permanent rows or beds this fall or spring. The plants are very hardy, will stand all kinds of treatment, but will respond liberally to good treatment, and thrive in one place for ten or twenty years. The asparagus plant is doubly useful. The young shoots can be used for food, and the foliage branches for decoration. Sprays of asparagus are equaled by few other plants for their pleasing effect in decoration. Good Roads. Good roads are essential to the success of the farmer the world over. Poor roads are very costly; they cause the speedy wearing out of wagons, the loss of animals and the failure to market crops profitably. Good roads mean a greater ease in marketing, longer wear of farm wagons, more profit and more comfort. Good roads are not expensive; all roads can be improved at small cost in money, time and labor. Avoid Weed Growth. If there is any part of your garden or fields that you do not wish to grow vegetables or staple crops on do not allow it to grow up in weeds. Weeds are obnoxious, do not afford any profit or pleasure to the land owner and rob the soil of its fertility. Sow any unoccupied parts of your land in cowpeas or other legumes. It will pay you well. Poor Fall Work. Where the road is plowed and scraped up till it is so late in the fall, the dirt does not have time to pack and settle before it freezes, with the result that these newly-worked spots are not only rough throughout the entire winter, but they will be soft and difficult of travel all next spring.

New York.—A very fat guinea pig, a fluffy ball of white and brown, with snappy little beads of eyes, that gaze up upon the world fearlessly, has furnished Raymond L. Ditmars, curator of the Zoological park in the Bronx, and Charley Snyder, his assistant, with another interesting puzzle, which they are still far from solving. The guinea pig was one of a fast increasing group which are from time to time killed off to replenish the snakes' bill of fare. The act which lifted this particular pig above the others of the family and brought it to the attention of Curator Ditmars and Snyder occurred when several days ago he managed to get into the enclosure of two hungry boa constrictors, and not only lived but so liked his experience that he sought further adventure in the retreat of the eight-foot monitor lizard. The little animal was kept in a room at the north side of the reptile house, and back of the glass front enclosures containing the various members of the snake family. It was feeding time for certain of the big snakes, and Snyder, with a supply of fresh killed guinea pigs and rats, was in the narrow passageway back of the snake house feeding several Indian rattlers. The little brown and white pig, which had become accustomed to his quarters, wandered out into the space where the keeper was working. The little animal was very inquisitive, but Snyder gave him no more than passing attention. He gave the rattlesnakes their allowance of food and stood for a few minutes waching them in the process of slowly swallowing their portions: Then he turned to the door of the boa constrictor cage, and as he opened it he saw a sight which filled him with surprise. In some way the guinea pig had climbed up to the cage and gained entrance to it. Both snakes were hungry, for it had been several days since they had been fed, and one of their especial delicacies is guinea pig. Yet neither had made any attempt to eat up the fearless visitor, and when Snyder caught sight of the little animal he was in a comfortable position alongside the tail of the longest snake. The other snake, half coiled, he said, was regarding the pig with interest mixed with amazement. The guinea pig appeared to be content, and was sitting, regarding the half-coiled snake with a steady stare. Evidently stimulated by his adventure in the boa constrictor cage, the pig went hunting more the day after his visit to the snakes. This time it got into the sun room at the east end of the reptile house. In this room are the reptiles that are sick in the process of shedding their skins. When Mr Ditmars heard of this second visitation, the pig was endeavoring to make friends with the big monitor lizard Now, the lizard feeds upon eggs, which it bolts, shells and all, and it does not feel amiably disposed toward guinea pigs or rats. When discovered the little animal was sitting comfortably in front of the lizard, regarding it with a steady look that was returned with interest by the reptile. When Ditmars approached the lizard ambled forward, changing its course so as to move around the guinea pig. The whole affair was so extraordinary, that Mr. Ditmars and his assistant are giving much study to it. Why two hungry snakes should refuse such a tempting morsel as a brown and white guinea pig, and not only reject him as an appetite satisfier, but show a desire to make friends with him, is so contrary to the natural course of events that both men are seeking a reason. Snyder inclines to the belief that the guinea pig possesses what he calls a hypnotic eye and that in this the snakes recognized one of their own kind, and the lizard also found in the pig's stare an all-compelling force. TOO TICKLISH FOR ROBBERS Woman'Just Could Not Stand for Hold-Up Man to Search Kansas City, Mo.—Being ticklish saved Mrs. Frances Justine the other night from losing her purse to robbers and a meeting that might have been terrifying turned into an amusing affair. She was on her way home when two armed men commanded her to walk back with them to the shadow of a warehouse. "We want money, that is all," they said. "So throw your hands up." She obeyed and informed them that her purse was tucked in the top of her corset, under her arm. One of the men tore open her waist and thrust in a hand. It came out in a hurry to clasp over the woman's mouth, as she screamed "Don't!" "I didn't mean to cry out that way," she laughed, as the hand dropped and gave her a chance, to speak, "but I am awfully ticklish and I just can't stand it." The continued efforts of the men to find the purse, while Mrs. Justine's protecting arm wouldn't stay up, threw her into fits of laughter, which so disturbed the robbers that, as she sank to the pavement, they ran. TAFT WOULD AID FARMERS. Wants United States to Adopt Co-Operative Credit System. RESULT State Department, at the President's Direction, Has Looked Into the System In Vogue In Europe-It Would Mean Low Rates and Easy Terms For Repayment. The state department's investigation of European systems of co-operative credit has now reached the second stage in which a study is made of the mortgage bond societies and the mortgage banks. It is expected that this is the form of co-operative credit which, under one plan or another, will be proposed for adoption in the United States in connection with President Taft's efforts to extend this assistance to the American farmer. As compared to the present American system of farm land loans this form of co-operative credit would accomplish two things for the farmer: First.—It would permit him to repay his loan through an easy system of amortization extending over a long period of years and would remove effectively the menace of foreclosure or renewal which hangs like the sword of Damocles over the head of any borrower from a private individual under a short time mortgage Second.—It would unlock the doors of the great money centers to the farmer of the remotest regions and give a security to the investor in New York, so that he would need have no concern with knowing anything of the sort of security offered by the farm in Texas or Oregon on which the money he lends is to be spent. This means to the farmer low rates of interest and easy terms for repayment. What it would mean in more specific terms to the American farmer can be easily seen in a comparison of conditions in Germany of France and in the United States Here is the statement of a dealer in land mortgages in our southwest, made at a meeting in New York city. The speaker was describing the business of a company financed by British capital which makes mortgage loans on farms in the southwestern states: "We have been loaning money at 8, 9 and 16 per cent I loaned money in the Pachandle twenty-seven years ago and for the first three or four years never got less than 8 per cent a month. That is incident to a new country. Now our bank rate is 10 per cent. Our land loans that we have been making the first year or so through that section of the country have been made on an 8 or 9 per cent basis. However, I am very frank to say that I think the rates ought to come down and that we ought to be able to get money from that section of the country at 8 or 7 per cent." In comparison with this statement the Credit Foncier of France is able to loan money on farm lands at 4.3 per cent and the German societies and banks at about 4 or 4.5 per cent. As the speaker quoted above says, the high rate of interest in this country is probably to a large extent due to the fact that it is a new country and that money here is more actively employed. It is doubtful whether, even with the adoption of the European machinery, the interest rates on mortgages could be brought down as low in the United States as they are in either France or Germany. It is the opinion of no less an authority than Charles A. Conant, however, that they could be brought down to 5 per cent. A mortgage at 5 per cent with the advantage to the farmer of repaying his loan little by little through an unburdensome plan of amortization might be accepted as the sum total of benefit to be expected by the American farmer from the adoption of some such system—as, for instance, the German mortgage bank plan. Another African Theodore. An African Theodore came to grief just forty-five years ago because he thought he was the whole show. The rest of mankind thought they were some show, too, and Theodore of Abyssinia learned too late that he had made a very serious mistake in not taking that very natural attitude into account. Nature has not given to any individual a monopoly of the abilities requisite in the rule of a people. A vote for the Democratic ticket this fall is a vote for free trade and all that free trade stands for.

A vote for the Republican ticket is a vote for protection to honest American toll, and protection is a synonym for prosperity.—Newport (N. H.) Champion. When Wilson Will Get Worse Left. Woodrow Wilson complained that his private car was left several hours behind by the Chicago express. That's nothing to the way he and his free trade crew will be left behind by the Taft Republican express on Nov. 5. BUSINESS MEN ARE ALL FOR TAFT Prosperity Depends on His Re-election. EVERY SECTION FAVORS HIM Men of Substance, With Interests of Country at Heart, Place Republican Candidate Above Bull Moose Wrecker and Democratic Free Trader—Good Times in Sight. The Evening Post of New York, which professes an independent attitude toward the presidential contest, has been taking the views of representative business men in various parts of the United States on the improvement in business conditions and the probable influence of that improvement on the national election. Among conditions pointing to increasing prosperity and better times for all branches of trade and industry are a wheat crop estimated by the department of agriculture in its report for August at 58,000,000 bushels more than the crop of 1911 and exceeding in magnitude only in three preceding years; a corn crop, if not injured by early frosts, estimated to be the third largest of our yields and 10 per cent, larger than in 1911, and a cotton crop recently estimated as high as 14,000,000 bales, which would be exceeded only by the extraordinary 16,000,000 bale crop of last year. The country's iron production of July (usually a "barometer" of trade) surpassed allrecords for the month. Orders on the books of the United States Steel corporation at the beginning of August were the largest reported in any month since the panic of 1907, and showed the most rapid ratio of increase, as compared with a year ago, that had ever been recorded. The total weekly value of checks drawn on all the country's banks and passed through the clearing houses has increased over 14 per cent, over 1911, and in large sections of the west a.20 per cent recovery was reported. Along with this, the reports of the railway association on the number of railway freight cars idle in the United States have lately shown the smallest total for this time of year since 1907. HONORS TO LABOR MEN Positions of Public Trust Filled by Members of Trade Unions. Washington.—The Trade Unionist, the official publication of organized labor in the District of Columbia, says: "Representatives of labor are taking high place in public affairs—official, commercial, professional and civic. Fifteen members of the house of representatives—Republicans, Democrats and one Socialist — are proud possessors of "working cards" in the craft union which claimed their efforts before entering upon the larger duties of a wider field of endeavor. Recently the president of the United States, desiring a wise, keen, sagacious, practical private secretary, found his ideal in Mr. Carmi A. Thompson of Ohio. "Mr. Thompson comes of a family of unionists, his father and six uncles being members of the Miners' union of his native state. Carmil as a boy and man working beside his father in the bituminous coal veins of the Hocking valley. In his early manhood Mr. Thompson attracted the attention of the leading public men of the state because of his wide knowledge of workingmen and rare judgment in matters pertaining to industrial conditions. His advance in public life was rapid, keeping pace with his developing popularity. He was elected to local and city offices, held important posts by appointment of the governor, and was secretary of state of Ohio. When appointed secretary to the president he was assistant secretary of the interior. "Mr. Thompson is genial, kindly, sympathetic, and has lost none of his interest in the labor cause by promotion to commanding positions in the public service. W. N. B." Under free trade the man who earns $20 a week now would be forced to accept either $15 or $12. The difference of $5 or $8, which now goes for clothing, rent, an occasional cigar or a theater ticket, possibly a delicacy for the home table, will not be at his disposal. Think of the several lines of trade that will lose millions of dollars every week by such enforced economy! Now Used as a Circus Ground. (From the Atlanta Constitution.)

Dr. Wilson Asks Question That May Embarrass Democrats. "Who," asks Woodrow Wilson, in his speech of acceptance, "when you come down to the hard facts of the matter, have been represented in recent years when our tariff schedules were being discussed and determined, not on the floor of congress, for that is not where they have been determined, but in the committee rooms and conferences?" Precisely. Who has? When the Payne-Aldrich bill was being framed prolonged and open hearings were conducted by the ways and means committee. Every one who had facts or arguments to present was given an opportunity to be heard. However, when Dr. Wilson's fellow Democrats undertook to revise the schedules in this congress Oscar Underwood and his associates barred the doors and out of adylices, the sources of which they have never yet entirely disclosed, proceeded to make up the schedules in secret and Jam them through the house by gag rules. It would be interesting could Dr. Wilson secure from the Democratic leaders an answer to his question. It was not entirely thoughtful of him to propound it. How the Democratic party does progress! Its tariff planks in 1992 and 1912 are duplicates. The results will be, too, if the American people elect Wilson.—Norwich (Conn.)

CHASING A PHANTOM We are living in an age in which by exaggeration of the defects of our present condition, by false charges of responsibility for it against individuals and classes, by holding up to the feverish imagination of the less fortunate and the discontented the possibilities of a millennium, a condition of popular unrest has been produced. New parties are being formed, with the proposed purpose of satisfying this unrest by promising a panacea. In so far as inequality of condition can be lessened and equality of opportunity can be promoted by improvement of our educational system, the betterment of the laws to insure the quick administration of justice and by the prevention of the acquisition of privilege without just compensation, in so far as the adoption of the legislation above recited and laws of a similar character may aid the less fortunate in their struggle with the hardships of life, all are in sympathy with a continued effort to remedy injustice and to aid the weak, and I venture to say that there is no national administration in which more real steps of such progress have been taken than in the present one. But in so far as the propaganda for the satisfaction of unrest involves the promise of a millennium, a condition in which the rich are to be made reasonably poor and the poor reasonably rich by law, we are chasing a phantom; we are holding out to those whose unrest we fear a prospect and a dream, a vision of the impossible.—From President Taft's Speech of Acceptance. WILSON ON LINCOLN. Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the Republican national committee, has issued the following: At this time, when the negroes throughout the United States are celebrating in various ways the fiftieth anniversary of the first proclamation of emancipation and when the Democratic candidate for the presidency, Woodrow Wilson, is appealing to the people of the western states to support him, it is fitting that the chairman of the political committee organized to further the cause of the candidates of the Republican party for president and vice president should call attention to an expression of opinion by Governor Wilson at a period in his career when possibly he never dreamed of being a candidate for a political office. That expression of opinion was made in his capacity of historian, and it adds to the cumulative testimony that he was until he became a candidate and that he is now un-American in his views of public questions and at heart contemptuous of more than one class of American citizens and out of sympathy with their aims, their purposes and their beliefs. It was on Sept. 22, 1862, that President Lincoln issued a proclamation giving formal notice that unless the southern states returned to their allegiance to the Union within a hundred days he would declare the slaves within their borders free, and it was on the 1st of January, 1862, following, that a definite proclamation of emancipation was issued. Of this crowning event of the career of the Immortal Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson says in his "History of the American People," written forty years afterward: "The proclamation when it came was no law, but only his (Lincoln's) deliberate declaration of policy for himself and for his party, and changed, as he meant that it should change, the whole air of the struggle and of politics as well." It is safe to say that not even the most radical unreconstructed southern man would attribute to Lincoln this motive which it remained for the historian Woodrow Wilson alone to discover. that Lincoln abolished slavery to further his own political ambitions and those of his political party. The statement adds proof to much already at hand that Woodrow Wilson forty years after the war was and presumably still is devoid of sympathy for the motive and results of the civil war. The quotation from the Democratic candidate's writings proves that he is not a reliable historian nor a fair commentator. It goes to show what has been often asserted, that Governor Wilson is not at heart an admirer of or a believer in American institutions, as his other writings and speeches show that he is not a eulogist of American industries nor a defender of American labor. He continuously slanders millions of adopted citizens from abroad who have become good Americans. He sneers at trade unions, and apparently he would if he could close every American mill and buy in foreign markets, because in the first place he is an aristocrat born and bred and because he wants the American people to buy where they can buy the cheapest. Everything that can be learned about Governor Wilson from his writings, from his speeches and from his manner of living indicate that he is not the type of man who can successfully appeal for the support of the American people. MR. OTIS' DISGUST. He Tells Why He Has Abandoned Third Party Movement. Mr. Ralph C. Otis of Chicago seems to be a citizen of a type widely extant in the country today, taking a newer and a larger interest in the duties of citizenship and earnestly striving for bettering conditions of government. Like many another he was led away by the cant and the phrasemonging of the. third party promoters and made to believe that civic salvation only was to be obtained by following in the wake of the third termer. But Mr. Otis, like the average intelligent citizen, could not stand for all that was put up to him. "Those fellows," he declares bluntly, referring to the third party bosses, "are around denouncing every one and calling everybody a 'crook' who does not agree with them." He declares that he will have nothing further to do with the bull moose movement. Inasmuch as Mr. Otis was president of the original Roosevelt league in Chicago and chairman of the new party national convention committee his defection from the cause is out of the ordinary. His protest is that which every level headed man, presuming that he is not animated bypersonal or selfish reasons, will make when he has had an opportunity closely to observe the tactics and the hypocrisy of the self-seekers who are lending, directing and financing—especially financing—the new party. TAFT THE MAN FOR THE CRISIS The President and the Panama International Issue. VALUE OF HIS DIPLOMACY Not Since the Civil War Have the American People Had Greater Reason to Congratulate Themselves on Having the Right Man in the Right Place at the Vital Moment. The American people never since 1860 have had greater reason to congratulate themselves on having the right man in the right place than they have in the fact that William Howard Taft is president of the United States. When Mr. Taft signed the Panama canal bill he upheld with a majesty worthy of the cause the right of the American people to attend to their own affairs at the same time that he confronted a most difficult international issue for which he was in nowise responsible. It is easy to suppose what Mr. Taft's predecessor would have done under similar conditions. One can hear the bang and whiz and sputter, like the start of a wireless message across the Atlantic, hurling frantic defiance here and there and everywhere getting everybody mad, making foreign resentment more acute than before and an amiable adjustment well nigh, impossible. President Taft's high standing as diplomat and statesman, his well known reputation for calm and dignified reasoning, his mastery of the principles of international law, of the obligation of treaties and the power of an independent people to supersede a treaty when it is found to infringe upon their national rights give assurance that the crisis, affecting as it does the honor of the nation and its fidelity to its solemn engagements, will be dealt with in a manner befitting the American republic and satisfactory to the civilized world Foreign nations know that President Taft can be trusted to do what is fair and just, that his patriotism is as broad as it is pure and that no hunger for spread eagle notoriety will vitiate his judgment. And every American, whatsoever his party, knows in his heart of hearts that the national interests, the national honor, the national future—so far as he shall be permitted to control that future—are safe in the hands of William Howard Taft, TAFT GOOD TIMES A Good Deal More Substantial Than Wilson Promises. There was an old song, a favorite in the days gone by, with the refrain, "Hard times come again no more!" Were it not for the dark cloud of Democratic free trade hovering above the horizon and the possibility of Wilson for president, with a cabinet of mossbacks from the south, with their heels on the cabinet table and telling each other how much better things were "before the wah," Americans might be singing that refrain with zest and glee today, for from all parts of the Union comes assurance of better times than for years past, of pressing demands for goods of all kinds, abundant employment and active and profitable trade. The large cities are thronged with buyers, and there is plenty of evidence that storekeepers, big and small, in city and village and at the crossroads, have money to spend—and mean to spend it. How different four years ago! The country was still in the doldrums—not yet emerged from the Roosevelt panto of 1907. The nation was looking forward with hope and faith to the election of President Taft, then already recognized as one of the world's greatest statesmen, safe, sane, broad minded, with an intellectual grasp equal to the mighty task before him and an unselfish devotion to the welfare of all of his fellow citizens. The nation's faith and hope in President Taft were not misplaced. Gradually and surely the country has come out of distrust and despair into the realization and enjoyment of ever growing prosperity. Business has recovered confidence, labor finds profitable employment, and in some, parts the demand for labor at good wages is greater than the supply. President Taft has made good. Hard times have gone, never to return—provided Taft is re-elected and allowed to give the country four years more of sanity, safety and security. The frantic efforts of his predecessor to get a chance to give the country another taste of 1907 excite no alarm—the American memory is not short enough for that. But another, generation has grown to manhood and the ballot since the last calamitous experience of Democratic low tariff in 1894-7, and specious and illusive free trade arguments are appealing to ears that never heard them before. There is every reason to believe, however, that the sunshine of Tatt's prosperity will clear the beclouded sky, dissipate the mist of Wilson free trade, and enable the younger voters to perceive, as their elders know by experience, the folly of exchanging good times for conditions that in the past have brought only business collapse and general hardship and depression for everybody and loss of opportunity.

They are great nuisances and a bindrance to the savings of a certain class of our house wives. The Republicans of the First Congressional District especially, should rally and prepare to pile up a big vote for the party ticket in November. The election is but a few weeks off. Chatham County and this district must lead the State. Our people should keep away from their homes the installment house collectors and especially white insurance collectors. This class of men, that is some of them, have no respect for our women, nor any regard for their homes. They will enter certain homes without knocking, with covered head and cigar or cigarette stuck in their mouths. Keep these men who have no regard for you away from your homes. The Tribune is not averse to the raiding of blind tigers and gambling dens operated by our people, but the police should not overlook similar lawlessness indulged in, by the opposite race. It will seem less like persecution to see some of the white blind tigers and gamblers also "pulled." And too, the police and city authorities would be doing everlasting good in segregating the bawdy white women from among respectable colored citizens especially from among those who own their homes. The disgraceful orgies performed by this class of women and the men who frequent these resorts, should be prevented. In this respect Savannah needs Atlanta's Chief Beaver. With pardonable pride, The Tribune points to the fact that it numbers among its readers, some of the most intelligent of our young people. In our leading schools and colleges where our sheet finds shelter, we are told that it is eagerly sought by our young people who are quartered there. To learn of this is indeed both a pleasure and inspiration to us—a pleasure to know that we are interesting; an inspiration to us to fill our columns with subject matter so live and wholesome that it may be of some service to any who may read our pages. Today as our thoughts turn to our young people who are now domiciled within the walls of our colleges, the question arises in our mind more prominently than ever as to whether or not our young people in these high schools and colleges are making the most of the opportunities for self-development and culture offered them. To make good of the opportunities afforded them in school is to prove worthy of any sacrifice made in order that one might be educated; to do otherwise is to prove oneself the veriest ingrate imaginable. No people in the world make greater sacrifices to keep their loved ones in school than the parents of the young people of our race. To see a mother in the washtub and before the ironing board four, five and even six days of the week in order that a son or daughter may be kept in school is no uncommon sight. To see a noble father deprive his home of some of the necessities of life in order that his children may remain in a school and become educated is another observation that can be made any time. In the light of these facts can it be possible that any young man or woman in college can show so little an appreciation of the efforts of parents in his behalf as to grow indifferent as to the proper use of his time while in school. We cannot see how it can be. Our boys and girls ought to strive to make each day in school bring such results that the day may stand apart as a fitting testimonial to something attempted, something done. Now is the time, dear college boys and girls, to make good. The world is waiting for and wanting your services; the race is in need of and is calling for strong men and women. There is a task that is awaiting each one of you to perform. Will you so fit yourself while in school as to be able to be of service to your country and people in the near future or will you sow wild oats during your college days and fail of the proper self-development and training for useful service in the future? We trust that the former idea rather than the latter will be an incentive to you. Do your duty to yourself young man or young woman while you are in school in order that you may meet the requirements of the world in the future. The gray hairs of an anxious mother and father are awaiting your debut into the world. Make good while in school and the probability is that you will make good out of school, thus bringing honor and happiness to the hoary heads whose plans and efforts made your education possible. By all means, young men and women of college, make good while you have the opportunity. Ever mindful of its duty to sound an note of warning or to proffer suggestive advice to our people whenever the occasion demands it. The Tribune does not hesitate at this time to give such advice to our people. In a recent issue of one of the local dailies, we noted, with much regret, an account of the short-coming of one of the members of the race who was a trusted employee of one of our most reliable firms for nineteen years. According to the report, this individual was caught recently with an article of the firm concealed on his person. An investigation revealed the fact that the article confiscated was valued at about ten dollars and that it was only one of a number of articles taken from the store from time to time for a number of years. Such revelation naturally transferred the heretofore confidential employee into a thief caught with the goods on him. How sad indeed was it to us to note that the reputation of a life time was blasted in a moment. Occupying us do such a peculiar position in the life of our country where the merits and demerits of the race are judged by the action of each individual member, our people can ill afford to do anything that will reflect upon the honor and integrity of the race. The individual action of each member of the race must be conducive not to the destruction but to the growth of it. Here in our own city where discrimination in the industrial world is less marked than perhaps in any other city in the southland those of our people who are the trusted employees of our large firms, have an excellent opportunity to make the proper history for the race by doing their duties well, being polite and obliging and being honest at all times. We are indeed proud of those of our people who can point to ten, fifteen, twenty and sometimes over thirty or thirty-five years of service with one firm. Such records show, at least on the surface, years of faithful service rendered. How much more honorable is it to be able to round out such long years of service by resignation or even death than it is to be discharged or kicked out after such years on account of some unbecoming or questionable conduct. The example just referred to ought to serve as a lesson to all of us who occupy places of responsibility with the firms of our city. The honor of the race as well as the honor of the individual should be placed far and above any desire or temptation to do wrong. Our people must remember that we are still in the making. Every step taken backward is of more serious consequence to us than it would be perhaps under different circumstances. Each employee must remember that he is a party to the success of the race. Upon his action will depend to a large extent an increase or decrease in the prestige and respect of the race. Let each one of us appreciate our duty and do it well. Turning, as it were, neither to the right nor to the left, let each one so perform the tasks before him that he will be justly considered a contributor to the progress of our race and the good name that it is destined to bear. With fitting ceremony, exercises commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the announcement of President Lincoln that on January 1, 1863 all slaves would be freed, were held throughout the Sunday, October 6th, the winter schedule of services will be resumed, on the first Sunday of October, which is the Feast of the Holy Rosary. The first Mass will be said at 7 a.m.; the second at 8 a.m. At 10:30, a.m. there will be High Mass and sermon. The chair will furnish special music for the occasion.

U.S. FORCES STILL CONTROL. Not Likely That General Zeledon Will Continue To Hold Out, Now That Mena Has Surrendered. Washington.—General Mena, leader of the Nicaraguan evolutionists, is to be sent to Panama, under- guard of American sailors and marines. Ameri- can Consul Weltzel reported to the State Department that Rear Admiral Southerland has accepted the surren- der of Mena and 700 followers at mid- night, September 24. His capture fs taken to Indicate the collapse of the revolution, and his removal to Pan- ama probably means exile. Officials here believed General Mena requested that he be permitted to sur- render to Admiral Southerland, for fear of summary action at the hands of the Nicaraguan federals, and the Admiral doubtless thought {t advis- able to get the rebel leader out of the ecuntry as soon as possible. Granade is now completely under control of United States forces. Con- ditfons are reparted pitiful in the ex- treme. The tphabitants face famine in consequence of their Iong isolation. Red Cross provisions have been dis- tributed with the greatest baste. It Is not thought that General Zele- don and his forces will attempt to hold out, now that the head ‘of the revolution has given up. Little im- portance {s attached here to the an- nouncement by Juan Irias, former fol- lower of Zelaya, of his intention to succeed General Mena.-Irias made known his ambition before leaving Sen Jose, Costa Rica, ‘several days ago. Nothing since has been heard of his whereabouts. The disposition of Mena and his force will depend upon the terms made by him with Admiral Souther- land. By his disregard of all of the Fulee of civilised warfare, end expect ally bis deliberate breach of promise to American Minister Weftzel at an early stage of the rebellion here has placed himself outside the pale of the law, and officials declare that it would be entirely proper and ‘within pre cedent to turn Mena over to the Nicz- raguan government. But if Admiral Southerland bas ac- cepted the surrender with a pledge for protection, that promise will be re spected by the State Department, even if {ts redemption involves the trans- portation of the rebels to Panama.

CENSORSHIP OF THE PRESS ‘The Act Gives the Federal Govern- ment Inquiaitorial Powers Over Newspapers, Which Are Unconstitutional. New York.—Mr. James M. Beck, one of the. foremost lawyers of the ccuntry, formerly United States dis- trict attorney for Philadetphia and counsel for the government in: the Northern Securities case, has render ed an opinion in which he expressed the view that the “Act making appro- priations for the service of the Post- office Department,” approved August 24, 1912, which under the guise of regulating the carriage of the matis seeks to regulate Journalism. ‘The section referred to ts novel, far reaching, and, whether intentional or unintentional, will be, if sustained as a valid law, the entering wedge for 4 federal censorship of the press. The act, under the pretence of making ap- propriations for the Postoffice Depart- ment, makes it the duty of the editor, publisher, business manager or own- er of every newspaper, magazine, periodical or other publication to file with the Postmaster Genéral twice a year “a sworn statement setting forth the names and postoffice addresses of the editor and managing editor, pub- Usher, business managers, and own- ers, and, in addition, the stockholders, if the publication be owned by a cor- poration; and also the names of known bondholders, mortgagees or other security holders, and also in the case of daily newspapers, there shall be included jo such statement the average of the numbers of copies of each issie of such publication sold or distributed to paid subscribers dur- ing the preceding six months.” It is further provided: “That all editorials or other reading matter pub- lished in any such-riewspaper, maga* zine, or periodical for the publication of which money or other, vdluable con- sideration is paid, accepted or promis- €d, shall be plainly marked ‘adver- tisement.’ Any editor or publisher printing editorials or other reading matter for which conpensation is paid, accepted or- promised without so marking the same, shall upon convic- tion in any court having jurisdiction be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than $506."

Washington. —The total value.ot the crops of continental United States in 1909 was, In round numbers, $5,487,- 000,000, as compared with $2,999,999,- 000 in 1899. The Increase was thus '$2,488,000,000 or 83 per cent. accord ing to a statement Issued today by E. Dana Durand, director of the bureau of the census, department of com- merce and labor. The tabulations showing these total results were car ried on in the agricultural division of the bureau of the census, under the supervision of L. G. Powers, former chief statistician, and J. L. Coulter, ex- pert special agent. The census has made no attempt to ascertain the to- tal net value of farm products for 1909, Including both that of crops and animal products. Merely to add the value of these two groups of p&ducts together would Involve extensive du- plication, since large quantities of the crops reported are fed to tho animals on the farms and reported later as live stock products. It fs imposelble to ascertain accurately the amount of such duplication, and the attempt to do 80, which was made at the twelfth census, was not considered satisfac- tory. For this reason the relative im- portance of crops as a factor in the agricultural production of the United States cannot be determined precise- ly. A large part of the extraordinary Increase in the tctal value of farm crops between 1899 and 1909 Js attrib- utable to higher prices. This might be inferred from, the fact that, while the acreage of eréps with acreage re- perts increased oily 9.9 per cent., the value of such crops increased 82 per cent. It also appears by comparing the percentages of Increase in the quantity of the various individual crops with the percentages of Increase In the value. Thus, for all cereals ta- ken together, the production increased only 1.7 per cent, while the value in- creased 79.8 per cent; for hay and forage the production increased 23 per cent. and the value 70.2 per cent. and for cotton (not counting ‘cotton seed) the production increased 11.7 per cent. and the yalue 117.3 per cent. A more precise calculation of the aver- age increase in unit values of crops bas, however, been made by the cen- sus burean For the individual crops for which both quantity produced and value were reported at both censuses, the average value per unit in 1899 was computed and this wis mult{plied into the quantity produced Jn 1909, .thus showing the total value which would have been reported for each crop tn 1909 ff the acreage value per unit had been the eame as ten years earlier. For certain crops the values were not reported separately in 1899, and for certain other crops quantities were not reported at either,census, but the anal- ysis covers nine-tenths of the crops of the country as measured by value. The total reported value of the crops covered by the compltatfon in 1899 was $2.691.979,000 gad the total reported value of the same crops in 1909 was $4,934,490,000, an Increase of 82.3 per cent. Had the prices of 1899 prevailed, however, the value of thesé crops in 1909 would have amounted to $2,962,358.000, or an increase of only 10 per cent. over 1899. The difference between $2,962,268,000 and $4,934,490, 000, or $1,972,122,000, represents the amount added to the value of these crops in 1909 by reason of increase in prices over those of 1899, the average percentage of increase in prices belng thus 66.6. ‘The figure just given, 10 per cent. as representing the excess of the yalue of the crops of 1909. on the basis of 1899 values, over the values of the same crops In 1899, fs virtually a con- solidated expression of the general in- crease in the quantity of crops pro- duced. Covering, as it does, nine tenths of the crops of the country, it may properly be compared with the fucrease of 21 per cent. in the popula- tion of the United States between 1900 and 1910. As earlier statement show- ed that the increase in the number of ferme from 1900 to 1910 was 10.9 per cent., and the increase, {n the rural population, which includes places un- der 2,590, in addition to the agricul- tural population, was 11.2 per cent., the increase in urban population being 34.8 per cent.

FIGHTING POPULATION GRows, ‘There are in the United States to- day 20,473,684. men within the fighting age Mmit. S 7 ‘While the total population of the country has increased during the dec- ade 21 per cent, males of militia age have, in the same period, increased 26.5 per cent, and as a consequence they constituted a somewhat greater proportion of the total population in 1910 than they did in 1900. Of the ‘total population of both sexes and all ages in 1910, 22.3 per cent were males of militia age, the corresponding per- centage for 1900 being 21.3. The fact that males of militia age increased more rapidly than the total population is accounted for in part by immigration, which bas been, during the last decade, to a” greater degree than In earlier years, predominantly male. Among Immigrants the propor- tion elghteen td forty-four years of age greatly exceeds the proportion in those ages among natives, and conse- quently the northern and western states to’which immigrants chiefly 50° have, as compared with the southern states, a greater proportion of their population males ot militia age. The eastern divisions, however, lose some part of their adult male popula- tion: by Immigration westward, and an effect of this westward migration ap- pears in the higher percentages shown for the states of the Rocky mountain and Pacific coast regions. As compared with the general aver- age noted above for the country 2s a. whole, of 22.3 per cent, males of mill- tla age tn 1910 formed 22.8 per cent of the total population ia the four northern divisions taken together, 28 per cent in the two far western divi- sions, and 19.9 per cent-in the three routhern divisions taken together. The percentages 1n the Individual northern states are with few excep- Uons close'to the average for the country as a whole; in the far west- ern states they are generally above and In the sduthern states generally below the average. Amoig the states the percentage for Wyoming ‘ts highest, males of militfa age in 1910 constituting 37.4 per cent of the population. Other states! with hg percentages are Nevada, 35.9, Montana 328, Washington 29.8, Ari- zona 28.9, Oregon 28.3 and California 28; all of these states being in the Rocky moantain and Pacific coast re- gions. The percentage for North Carolina, 17.8, Is the lowest. Of the 20,473,681 males of militia age in 1910, 2.156,361 were in the siu- gle state of New York. Of the in- crease far the decade amounting to 4,290,982, nearly one-fourth, 1,074,424, was In the fhiddie Atlantic division, comprising the states of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. “The male population of militia age in New York state increased (516,966, 1n Penn- sylvanta 382,763, in Californfa 286,645, in Mlinois 239,04, in Texas 205,759: HAWAIIAN FORTIFICATIONS, “With the completion of the fortif- cations at’ Pearl Harbor, in Hawall, the islands will ba so fortified that no foreign foe, in my opinion, could gain an entrance,” sald A, J. Contell, a Jawyer of Honolulu, when in the city recently, “The work on ‘these fortifi- cations {s progressing splendidly, and it will not be long before it Is com- pleted. “I have heard frequently since com- ing to the states that the Japanese are loaving Hawaif. I failed to find tn my teh years’ residence there that the number of yellow men fs decreas- ing to any great extent. There are more Japanese in Hawail today than ever before, and it is true that most of the men have seen military service. They might not be termed ‘trained soldiers,’ but they are good fighting men, and if the Japs wanted to they could make a lot of trouble for the Americans in Hawall, However, there apparently {8 no disposition on the part of the Japs to raise any row, and I have no apprehension that we need fear any trouble from the Japs. It {s Itkely that the number of Jap- anese in Hawaii will decrease, for there are none coming tn, and the dis- position of the little people is to go back to thelr own country once they have acquired sufficient money on which to live. Five hundred dollars is pretty near a competency for the average Japanese family. “It is astonishing how much inter- ested the younger Japanese are in the English schools. They are eager to obtain an education, and following their hours In the public schools they spend some time in Japanese echools. We are getting most of our immi- grants now from Portugal and Spain, and they make excellent laborers, par- ticularly the former.” DID HIS DUTY. Mounted Policeman Cullinane of the patrol police force, did clever detect- ive*work the other day. A suburban resident complained to Major Sylves- ter, superintendent of the police de Bartment, that bees were eating her grapes. Culllpane was asked to In- vestigate. He went to the grape vines, saw the bees at work. went to a nearby store, got a pound of flour. returned and springled it on the busy bees. One by one the bedecked bees flew away, golng west. Cullinane mounted his horse and rode in*the same direction. A half hour later he came upon a bee hive, a milo Away, and upon examination found the flour- ed bees. The owner of the grapes was given the name of the owner*of the bees. What action the former will take egainst the siatter or her bees is not known.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS a Advices from Paris, France, state that the idea of maktrx up for the nu- ™érical inferiority of the annual French conscription contingent for the army, as compared with that of Ger- many, by redrafting a corps of black troops drawn from French West Africa into the Continental forces has long been broached. It will not meet with’ acceptance yet awhile. Rut every. Now and then the campaign In favor of the scheme is pushed a step for- ward. Thus, the governor of French West Africa, having been asked by the war office for 5,°00 black troops for Morocco, cabled within forty-elght hours undertaking to supply the re- quired contingent in six montbs time. On the other hand, a permanent force of native troops Is being organized In the colony, whence reinforcements can be drawn when wanted. Le Matin takes these arrangements as a text to argue in favor of the regular em- ployment of black troops. By the new year France will have over 15,000 men of the latter under arms. By 191£ the force will fall little short of 20,000. That is the strength of an army corps, and “France will thus possess twenty- one, instead of twenty, army corps.” The Twenty-first Army Corps, if em- ployed in time of war, must necessar- lly be employed on the European Con- tinent. Any scheme for drafting it Into Algeria, to enable the French troops stationed there to be avaflable elsewhere,would arouse the Arab popu- lation to revolt. Will European opin- fon ever stomach the employment of Diack troops in European warfare” Perhaps, if pressed by superior num- bers, France would override European opinion. The fifth annual convention of the National Assoclaticn of Colored Grad- uate Nurses was in session recently in Richmond, Va. There were between forty and fifty nurses in attendence, coming from different sections of the country. Miss Mary F.

Some time ago the question of put- ting regro policemen on the force was mooted, There was much diversity of opinion wherever discussed. There are tose who believe that a colored officer might get killed, and they are very solicitous as to his welfare. They have a perfect horror at the thought of an officer being killed if he be of African descent, but they have lttle ‘or no concern about a colored man be- ing shot to death in citizens clothes. There are those who think that a colored policeman should not arrest any one except colored people; while there are still others who think that being a policeman is a white man’s Job.

One of the features of the session was the dally clinics, 499 persons going to the Institute's hospital for medical and surgical attention in four days. The news that the leading colored physiclans and surgeons of the coun- try would gather at Tuskegee in an- nual session and conduct daily clinics led to one of the most extraordinary scenes ever Witnessed at far-famed Tuskegee. For miles around negroes who had been suffering with some af- fliction for months, and In some cases years, hed themselves to the Institute to put themselves under the examina- tion of doctors. The physicians were deeply touched by the pathetic appeal for medical ald, and quite often did the patient leave the hospital greatly benefited by his visit. Some crippled and infirm walked from sixteen to eighteen miles to Tuskegee institute while others drove a distance of thirty miles. Nashville was chosen as the next place of meeting and Dr. J. A. Kenney of Tuskegee fustitute, was elected president at the annual elec- tion of officers, which resulted as fol- lows: J. A. Kenney, M. D., Tuskegee institute, president; D. A. Ferguson, D. D. S.

Rivers scowldd, tousled his blonde hair, and slammed shut the law “book before him. But Jefferson went straight ahead with his panegyric of Miss Rose Wentworth's charms. Fin- ally Rivers grew tired of it. “Confound you, Jeft! Stop raving and get to work on that probate case! It'the practice of law absorbed you as girls do, in a year you'd-be too famous to live with. Can't you get into your head that I am pursuing a profession and not a, problematic wife? I hate fooling, and I can’t be serious until 1 am professionally and financially es- tablished, I want to offer a woman something fnore than just my sweet self!” . Jefferson stared, astonished. John Rivers was a man of few words, and outwardly of small sentiment. But he had been roused. He went on. “Let's finish this subject for gocd, Jeff. No, 1 will not beau Miss Nannie Wiley about Just to give you a chance with her guest. In fact, I hope Miss Wentworth will turn you down cold. It would be your salvation. What courting 1s done by this Srm should be for favor with Judges and juries and clients, Success comes from dig- ging, rather than by grace of an Irish temperament and a talent for banjo- playing. Sentiment’s all right, but when a man marries, he needs sense ‘also. A practicay man ‘chooses his wife, instead of letting himself be dragged to the altar by the first pret- ‘ty thing that makes eyes at him.” “Quite a tirade, old man,” comment- ed Jeff bitterly. “You walt! Your ‘time will come.” Rivers was reopen- ing his book. “When it,does I won't maunder to you about tt, Going after those depo- sitions?” Jeff departed. Rivers so Jost himself tn study that five minutes later he did not hear a slim, \dark-eyed girl enter until she spoke his name. She’ was delicate and refinedlooking and—afraid. He sprang up. “Mr. Rivers? You're a lawyer—may I talk with you?" He bowed her before hit Into the private officé and closed the door. In a half hour he was ushering his graceful client Into the outer hall as ‘If she were a princess, Youth and beauty have their spell. For all the tragedy of her pale face and plain clothes she was like tho spring. He gave her a last bit of advice as he opened the door. “Look again for the papers and re- port soon. We'll do all we can. Per- haps the hope will keep your mother up a bit longer. Keep up your cour- age. Good morning.” Jeff, just entering, grinned malf- clously. . “A bad business,” sald his partner, ignoring the grin. “She is a Miss An- nle Morrow. John Morrow of Atta was her father. He died some months ago and left things in queer shapa. His widow, the girl's mother, thought there was at least $20,000 for her in the State bank here. Though very close-mouthed, he had told her he was leaving her that sum. He was much older than’ his wife, and there was a son by a former marriage who has never recognized his stepmother and half-sister. The father had provided amply for him tn cash,” Jeff wag all professional tnterest. “No will?” “The girl saw bim make and sign one before witnesses which she can produce. But the will can't be found. And at the bank they found only about $1,500! The bank people told her Morrow had withdrawn the rest six anonths before bis death. His bankbook showed this. He took the money in very large bills, and there 1s no trace of It, The son denles all knowledge of It, and has not changed his mode of living. Now the girl says that the funeral and her mother’s ill- ness have eaten up all but about fitty dollars and she has gone to clerking at Atkinson's, at $7. week. Hor edu- cation was ornamental, and she has neither time nor money for a busi- ness course. She has to spend her spare bours with her mother.” “I don't sea how law can help," re- marked Jeff shortly. “No, But Miss Morrow, wants me to hunt for a hope! =Her mother can't at best live long, and would go peacefully it she was sure her girl would not be left penniless.

And us for Nannie Wiley, Rivers soon began telling him- self that if a man wished to marry, she was the woman to choose. She had health, dignity, beauty, social po- sition, even a small fortune. Rivers wanted to be In love with her. Finally he made himself think that he was in love with her, She frankly preferred him to an extent that discouraged oth- er suitors. One day walking with her on the street they met Annie Mor- row in her little blue gown and elm- ple bat. Rivers lifted his hat with an unconscious homage which Nannie Wiley instantly observed, “Who {s that pale little thing? Rath- er pretty, though.” . “Miss Morrow, a client of ming.” His very thought pretected her from another woman's comment. Mather pretty! Why, she was lovely! He had a moment's pained wonder why Annie, during all his visits to her mother, held herself so aloof.

And he more and more devoted himself to the failing invalid, ‘ One balmy evening late in May he was dressing to go out with Miss Wiley, Jeff and Rose Wentworth, when Annie ‘phoned him. Her mother was failing rapidly and wished to seo him. Instantly he called up Annie Wiley, telling ler that Important work for a client had just come in, that keep- ing his. engagement was Impossible, that he would come out in the morn- ing to be forgiven for having to deny himself a pleasure. She excused him prettily enough, but laughed over the phone, “It’s quite all right. Is tt your pret- ty girl client?" He simply answered that the matter could not be post- poned, Then he took the first car to the Morrow's. The doctor and nelghbors were there, and Annie met him at the door, appealing to him to- exaggerate, do something to make her mothor think the money would be fourd. This he did manfully, promising to ba the girl's guardian, and seo that all went ‘well with her. ‘The end came suddenly. Annie was ‘dry-eyed and white, with no word for anyone. He helped her through the funeral, but that over she went back to her work, refusing help trom him further.

What troubled him was that Annie held to her queer, cool, im- personal attitude to him, as though he were an enemy, and not her guard- fan. He could not, moreover, bear to have her clerktng in a store, growing paler and thinner. Together they had again searched all her father’s effects, and in vain as before, One Saturday night, on an impulse, Rivers went’ out and found Annie pecking desperately. Her chéeks were flushed feverishly, and her eyes big and bright. He demanded expla- nations, standing over her. “I'm going back to Atta, where we used to live. I can't “stand this life. I may be a coward. It may be wick- ed, but—I'm going.” She could. not finish, but he suddenly knew that she was telling bim she was to be mar- ried. A wave of pain swept over him, and then he knew his heart. “Do you love him?" he asked ab- ruptly,” taking ber hands. “Ihave known him all my life—you have no right—" “Lave, I love you. You shall not go unless you tell mo truthfully that you do not love me! You must’ be wild to think of marrying anyone else! You do love me, don't you? don't you?" Still she drew away from him, but tears rolled down her cheeks helplessly. He bad both her hands, Therefore he dried the tears with his handkerchief, and when her eyes smiled at bim, ho held her close a moment and kiésed her soft’ hair. Un- consclously he stepped back and knocked a pile of old books to the! Sound Dramatic Sense.

She bas a most remarkable dramatic sence.’ “Yes? sald the other man, ‘And how does this dramatic sense display itself?” “Well! replied the otber, ‘tt dis- plays Itself best, perhaps, in the se- ries of dinners at $4 a plate that she has been giving week by week to all the dramatic critics and theatrical correspondents’"" ~ CA REELS LB, SO fERR © pa EN ri Rp hn COMERS in We x a AY Vay Bey /\ feet SEM OFFICIAL UNIFORM OF BEAUTY American State Wished to Make For the seventeenth time in three years the m{croscopic South Ameri. can state had undergone a change of administration, and the new potentate, President Casper the three hundred and second, hed summoned an artist. and was ordering new designs for all ‘the offictal uniforms, “I want something striking.” he de- clared—“something showy, even.
