RE ee ee a me i cag ernor Brown usually writes a crisy “declined” or “approved” acrés: the bulk of pardon cases handled by him. But now and then issues of sufficient importance to his mind to necessitate a statement in connection with a declination or pardon come up. Then he gen- erally “rings the bell.” Such a case received his atten- tion last week, and he makes there- with a clear, clean-cut statement. Jim Williams, a Negro, was ac- cused of entering the room of 1 white girl in Stephens county. The evidence against him was very flimsy. On the trial a verdict, double- barreled in its nature was rendered, burglary and assault with intent to rape. Judge J- B. Jones, puzzled perhaps by the jury’s recommen- dation and the elements of doubt in the case, left it to a yote of the audience as to whether or not the recommendation of the jury should be heeded. _ According to the evidence, the yote was about evenly divided, but the judge gave him a heavy sen- tence. The prison commission recommended a parole and the yov- ernor approved this action in the following statement: Mareh Sth, 1913. In_Re Jim Williams, Stephens County. Burglary and Assault With intent to Rape. This defendant, a young Negro. was indicted for the two offenses above named. 7 ‘The verdict of the jury was as follows : “We, the jury, find the defend- ant guilty, and recommend that he be punished as for a misdemeanor.” The sheriff of the county, in a statement to this ollice, says: “When the defendant was sen- tenced, the court left it to a vote of the audience as to whether the recommendation of the jury should be heeded. Apparently the audi ence was about evenly divided.” The foreman of the grand jury writes to this office: “The evidence in the case was weak,” The foreman of the trial jury, in an affidavit, swears “that he feels sure thatthe jury would have acquitted the defendant absolutely if the jury had believed the court would disregard the recommenda- tion of the jury that the defend- ant be punished as fora misde- meanor.” ‘There are two affidavits, one by an oflicer of the city of Toccoa, and the other by another citizen, wherein affiants Swear that the two women, whose home it is claimed defendant entered about midnight, are notorious for im- moral character. It will be noted that the jury did not specify of which of the two offenses it found the defendant. guilty, but it seems manifest that it was the less serious one. The remarkable feature of' this case is the fact that the trial judge “left it to a vote of the audience as to whether the recommendation of the jury should be heeded.” There is nothing to show that “the audience? was sworn to do justice in this case; that it heard | all thé evidence; that it was com- posed solely of citizens of Steph ns| county, or of thestate of Georgia; that one.or more of them was not| disqualified by former convictions for felony, etc. | . While I have great faith in the people, yet I know that ‘‘the peo-| ple” have in their constitution es- tablished a process with the oaths of every one who takes part in the administration of it, ‘'The people” directly forbid mobs and every act which suggests mob rulership, yet if it be “‘left toa vote of the audience as to whether the recommendation of the jury should be heeded,” we shall soon find the mob ruling Georgia, cer- tainly in the court rooms. It is smipintable that the people of this state will permit a “‘vote‘of the audience” to supplant the oaths of Children Impatiently Awaiting The Races TO BEHELD AT BASE-BALL PARK AND WILL PROVE | INTERESTING ] | ready in Training—Girls In- | terested in Races For the past wwo weeks many of the pupils of the public and _pri- vate schools of the city have been showing much concern relative to the field day sports which will. be held at the baseball pars during the latter part of next month or the first of Maya ‘This uricasiness of mind on the part of many of the boys and girls who are interested in these sports has been caused by the fact that a definite date for the holding of these games was to have been an- nounced by the Negro Business and Professional Men’s Associa- tion, the organization which is promoting the games, but on ,ac- count of the disarrangement of the schedule of the South Atlantic Baseball League it has been, up to to-day, impossible tosay what day the park can be secured. However, the committee of the association which has charge of securing tho park is assured of knowing definitely during the first part of next week just what dates can be secured and public will be informed of the time chosen for the holding of these sports just as soon as possible. ‘The Negro Business and Profes- sional Men’s Association in a mect- ing held at the Congregational church, Friday night before last, unanimously decided to hold the meet this year. The meeting was a very enthusiastic one and all the members present were yery jubi- lant over the prospects of the com- ing meet. + It was decided to conduet the meet on a similar basis as that of last year. A subscription com- mittee was appointed to solicit funds for purchasing prizes for the meet. ‘This committee is head- ed by Mr. R. A. Harper. Associ- ated with Mr. Harper are Mr. C. A. R, McDowell, Mr. Perry R. Wright and Prof.S. A. Grant. It is hoped, and confidently expected, that this committec will meet with) ready responsexat the hands of the public as the coming races will be much more elaborate than those of | last year, and will consequently require a greater outlay of money- An idea as to the wide spread interest whick the children of the city aretaking in the coming races, even though a definite date has not been decided upon may be gained by. a walk any afternoon out on the commons in the south- ern soction of the city and seeing the number of boys practicing jumping, running and the other stunts which will be on the pro- gram of the races at the ball park. Again, it is said thatseveral of the schools have begun using the recess | time in training and have already discovered some very promising material. That the competition in the va- rious races is going to be fierce is already being shown by the rivalry of the students of the various schools when they meet every day on their way to and from- school. ‘The committee on “field” avhich will have charge of the stationing of the teams from the yarious schools in the park is devising a way in which each school will be apportioned a certain space which will be roped around so as to con- fine'the members of each team to their own camp and thereby keep the field clear. This committee will also see to itthat the spectators do not flock on the field and obstruct the view of those in the grand stand as was the case last year. Only the judges and competiitors will be allowed on the field this year and thereby the objectionable features of the mpet last year will be eliminated. SSS emmy judges and jurors. Therefore, that the real intent of the jury in this case may be al- lowed to be effective, it is ordered that the application of the said Jim Williams for parole be grant- ed, and the recommendation of the prison commissior in the premises is hereby approved.

NONE : FOR NEGROES From a Direct Tax on Commio- dity, a very large Percent of which is Used by, Negroes, Provisions should be made for them to get some Benefits from this Tax ger ot Re ERS | from this Tax We called attention of our read- ers on two former occasions to the great need of a strong and well- quipped industrial school, laying special emphasis upon agriculture and domestic arts for Negroes in this State. We wish to give to this appeal the empiasis of repeti- tion. The time for controversy on the value of this kind of training has long since passed, and all over the country large sums are being expended for the purpose of giv- ing the youth such training. Georgia, with an area greater than any state East of’ the Missis- sippi, has a larger Negro popula- tion (over a million) than any oth- er state, and the Negroes make up the great body of farm laborers. ‘They also do the great bulk of do- mestic work,—cooking, launder- ing, house cleaning, ete. These occupations, often considered men- ial, are in fact most important and vital in the life of any community, Georgia can never hope to take the rank among the other states in the Union which her natural re- sources, mild and equable climate justify until the standard of intel- ligence is raised among all classes. No matter how much we Jament the fact, our state will continue to make un unfavorable showing not only in educational matters but in agricultural and financial achieve- ments as well, as long as a large proportion of the population,— nearly fifty per cent.,—remain in ignorance. Weuse the term ig- norance here not simply in the the sense of being unlettered, but ignorance of the most elementary principles of mechanics, sanitation, hygiene, plant and animal life, in short, ignorance of the common every day requirements of hfe. All questions of race prejudice aside, in the language of Prof. J. S. Stuart, of the University of Georgia in his last report to the Georgia Legislatue: “*In all fair- ness should not the State of Geor- gia make some provision for giy- ing Negroes training in agricul- turé and domestic arts?” For these particular lines of work, ac- cording to the white man’s theory, they are pre-eminently fitted. By request of Prof. Stuart, a bill_ was introduced in the last Legislature proposing the estab- lishment of a school for Negroes, similar to the agricultural schools for whites, but there seemed to be noone to champion it- The gen- tleman who introduced it stated that he had no interest in the bill, but had introduced it simply as a mutter of courtesy to Prof. Stuart who had requested him to do so. We note from a news item in a recent issue of the Atlanta Consti- tution that after paying $2,000 to each of the eleven district agricul- tural schools for whites there is stilla surplus of about $10,000 for the month of January from the sales of fertilizer tags, oil inspec-. tions, etc. The Commissioners of Agricultural says he feels sure full payment can be made to these schools this year by May. Ac- cording to this statement there should be a surplus of several thousand dollars of this fund in the State treasury when the next-legis- lature meets. Our visions may be dim and our reasoning powers faultly, but it Joes scem to us that outof a direct ax on a commodity, a very large percentage of which is-used by Ne- nroes, provision ought to be made for them to get some benefits from this tax. We are forced to believe that white people of the State of Georgia do not know or fully realize the fact that eleyen schools for white youth are supported in large measure by a direct tax on Negroes, while no similar provision is made for Negro youth of the State from the same fund. To put the matter still more clearly: The State of Georgia levies a tax of ten cents ee ee eee Vee ee eee Spring Opening Color- ed Millinery Store BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY HEAD- GEAR TO BE SHOWN MONDAY Exhibit to be One of the Finest in History of Establishment— Many Ladies to See New Cre- ations—Music to be on Hand —All the Novelties in Head- gear to be Shown a ee vane Are ereeeene g:, SPACE (A -AINTE, the Colored Millinery store, situa: ted at 164 West Broad street, wil e its spring opening and the affair gives promise of being one the most popular, and largely = displayg Which this wide. ly known and reputable establish: ment has held. ‘The display of headgear which will greet the larze number of Ia- dies from every section of the city who will attend this opening, will be one of the most beautiful ever shown in Savannah, and, as on former occasions at the opening of as various seasons when this es- tablishment has placed on exhibi- tion its goods, a real treat will be instore for not only those ladies in attendance who are satisfied with the ordinary styles in headgear, but those who are most critical and fastidious in their tastes. , This year’s spring stock is one of the largest and most complete which this establishment has ever offered to the public and will com- pare favoraply with that of any millinery store in the city- The latest creations in headgear, which are to be obtained, will be displayed, and all the nifty and nobby styles will be seen.

The Colored Milinery store is one of the oldest establishments of the kind in the state and one. of the most completely stocked and highest-class millinery stores con- ducted by Negfoes in any city of this country. The establishment, which em- ploys several young ladies, is ‘con- ducted by Mrs. Aurelia E. Allen, and enjoys very liberal patronage from all classed of our women. In connection with the millinery store there is a first class dress making department conducted, The sprjng opening which takes place Monday is already being widely discussed on all sides and it is reasonable to expect that the crowd which will be out on Mon- day will surpass in numbers that Which has ever attended a season’s opening at this reputable establish- ment. the plows and hoes in the State, and do most of the cooking, wash- ing, ironing and house cleaning, some provision ought to be made for muking them eflicient along these important lines. We have never, and do not now, subscribeto the theory of dividing taxes between the races according to the amount paid by each. We believe such a theory &ndemo- cratic, unamerican and unchristian» and weare not calling attention to this discrimination for the pur- pose of raising antagonism but rather to make the fact known with the hope that someone in po. sition to do so, will take it up and see that the struggling Negro is given a better chance to prepare for the duties of life. May we not “in all fairness” hope that some part of this fund will be set aside to give Negro youth training similar to that now being given to white youth in the euateies agricultural schools?—The Fort Valley Uplift. s_ , Mustn’t Use Roads tow?

But of iate there has been too much wild driving oyer the county roads. Both at night and during the day thespeeding has been reck- less, the commissioners have found out, and those who fail to observe the rules, after fair warning, are to be prosecuted. * This traffic problem, after being discussed at considerable length in yesterday’s meeting of the commis- sioners, was referred to the Com- mittee on County Police, of which Commissioner Edwin M. Frank is the chairman. Chairman Frank is totake the matter up with the county police through Chief Mc- Farland, and see what can be done to bring about a better condition of affairs. The commissioners haveno desire to impose any hard- ships upon any one, but they are thoroughly convinced of the need of regulation of the traflic over the county highways. Many complaints have been heard. Machines full of whites or blacks go dashing over the roads at night, ignoring the rights of others, it is charged, and making lordinary pleasure riding danger- ous. Sometiines two or three cars will race along Dale avenue or some of the other good roads, run- ning two abreast. Other cars are forced entirely off the road. All of these things are to be rectified, if possible. by haying the county police take a hand. Notice is to be given of the intention to en- force the law. Persons are to be given chance to have considera- tion for the rights of others, but then ‘if they cortinue to ignore these rules docket cases will be made against them and the cases will be presented to the grand jury under section 5 of an act passed by the? General Assembly, Aug. 18, 1913. The commissioners discussed at length what is to be considered as “unreasonable and proper speed,” as provided by the statute. It was agreed that the circumstances sur- rounding the situation will in a large measure haye to govern that. If the road is clear and the jma- chine is the only one in sight twenty-five or thirty milesan hour, oreren more, might not be con- sidered unreasonable or improper, but if there are other cars on the road a much lower rate of speed might be unreasonable. For thirty days Chairman Frank and the county police will experi- ment with the matter and endeavor to arrive at} some solution of the traffic problem. Following is the Jaw under which they will proceed: See. 5- Beit further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That [no person shall operate a machine on the highways of this state as described in this act ata rate of speed greater than is reasonable and proper. having regard to the traffic and use of such highway, or so as to endanger the life or limb of any person or the safety of any property, and upon approaching a bridge, dam, high embankment, sharp curve, descent or crossing of Jintersecting highways and rail- roads crossings, the person oper- | ating a machine shall have it under |control and operate it at a speed not greaterthan six miles qn hour.” s + mht, so © Siva Theatres Show to Crowded Houses - PEKIN, AIR DOME AND STAR ALL PACKED MONDAY NIGHT West Broad Street Presents a Very Animated Scene at Night —After Midnight Before Nor- mal Conditions Prevailed— Confectionery Stores do Rush- ing Business. ge ee ee ee ee ee ton, bas never presented such an animated sight at night between seven and eleven thirty o'clock as on last Monday. It seemed as if eyerybody that everybody else knew was to be found on this popular street be- tween the hours mentioned, and folks in general were apparently out for at eyening of pleasure and. enjoyment. Of course. the real cause of this unusual scene was the opening of the new theatre, ‘“The Star,” on the east side of West Broad strect between Gaston and Minis; the very attractive bill presented by the Pekin Theatre and the delight- ful pictures shown at the ‘Air Dome, together with the church: crowds returning from the various: revival services, which are going. Early in the evening, in fact as soon as seven o'clock, the time scheduled for the opening of The Star, hundreds: of people , were gathered before theticket box and it was evident by seven-thirty o'clock thata tremendous crowd would attend the opening perform- ances in this house whicli is con- sidered the most costly theatrical structure in the country erected ‘exclusively for Negroes. _ That this really proved to be ‘the case may be judged from the fact that from eight to ten o'clock * ‘it was impossible for those com- ‘ing late to get witbin fifty feet of the ticket box, so large was the crowd. The house was filled to its capacity three times during the night and when it is remem- bered that there is seating capaci- ty for 1200 and standing room for’ about 300 more some idea can be had of the trémendous crowd that was present on opening night. “At the Pekin Theatre similar conditions prevailed as at the Star, and the attendance at this house was one of the largest in its his- tory. It was near on to midnight when those who attended the last show filed out. This was the first performance which was given at- the Pekin since Thursday night of last week as the house had suspended its shows on Friday and Saturday _ nights on account of extensive repairs which the house is under- going and which will take about two weeks longer for completion. _ The ‘special attraction at the Pekia was to have been Russel! and Owens’ stock company, but on account of unavoidable delays on their way here from Memphis, Tenn., the company did not get here in time to appear. However, avery entertaining program was presented to the large crowds that attended. ‘The attendance at the Air Dome was also very heayy and the hun- dreds that visited this amusement house were presented fo somevery “classy” pictures. Had one re- mained at West Broad and Hall lane at the dismissal of each show of this house he would have thought from the size of the crowds passing out that this was ‘the only. picture house on that Street. . Infact the whole city seemed to have been out on West Broad street for an evening of some. sort, and_ that too in face of a light, though steady rain. The night will long be remembered as one of the gayest which the West Side has ever witnessed, and one which the dispensers of sodas would like to seecomeagein, iP um In His Holy Temple Services in the Several Churches of the city Charles and West Broad. Rev. Singleton preached two able sermons on last, Sunday. A great plea was made to those who know not God in the pardoning of their sins. A great many went up to be prayed for and several attached themselves to the church. The revival meetings last week were a great success. A good many were converted. Mr. Jesse Brinson, our Sunday School Superintendent, is all smiles having been married on last week to Mrs. Gussie Reynolds, one of St. Philip's most popular members. They have the good wishes of our membership. Easter at St. Philip will be celebrated in high order on Sunday March 23rd. We had several ministers in attendance at our revival meeting during the week.

F. B. B. Church. The attendance at church on Sunday was very large, especially at night. Prof. William James, principal of the Industrial High school of Statesboro, Ga., was present at the morning service and spoke interestingly about his work. We were pleased to hear him. He is traveling in the interest of the school. At night, after reading the lesson, Rev. Wright preached an excellent sermon from these words. "Why halt ye between two opinions." On Monday night despite the rain a large crowd attended the voting contest between Mr. Nathan Roberts and S. D. Scott. It was a hard fought battle. Mr. Roberts won. An excellent musical program was rendered and the participants acted well their parts. Short speeches were made by several distinguished gentlemen. Too much praise can not be given Mr. A. B. Singfield and his assistants of the Pilgrim Insurance Company for the very active part they took in the rally. From the large sum they donated they proved that they were truly financially interested in the contest. We always welcome.strangers.

DRAYTON, Who died March 13th, 1912. Just about the hour of midnight, When the earth was sad and still; Our darling was taken from us, But we know it was God's will. Our heart's have bled within us, We have longed to see her face; But she has gone to join the host, That was saved by Jesus' grace. Oh! we loved thee precious jewel, But the Savior loved thee best; And seeing that your work was finished, Took you unto His heavenly rest. We shall trust and strive to meet you, On that bright celestial day; When the storms of life are over, And the mists have rolled away Her devoted mother and brothers, Georgia H. Drayton. Charles and James Simon. friend, JOSEPHINE JULIET DRAYTON. Who departed this life March 13, 1912. Thou hast left me, precious loved one, In this world of sin and care; Thou hast given up life's beauties, For a crown of jewels rare. Many years we were together, Sharing each other's joy and pain; And at last you've gone and left me, But I know it is heaven's gain. Thou art gone, but I hope to meet thee; When the toils of life are o'er; Where the shadow of death ne'er enter, And there's light forevermore. In loving memory of my husband, LEWIS HILL, who departed this life March 14, 1912. A precious one from us has gone. A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. God in His wisdom has recalled The boon His love has given, And though the body slumbers here, The soul is safe in heaven. Mrs. Elsie Hill and Children ETHEL ESTHER GIBBONS, Who died March 11th, 1911. You are gone but we love you still, the vacancy in our heart and home can never more be filled. But thou art gone to rest and this shall be our prayer that when our journey ends, thy glory we will share. Her loving mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Gibbons. Sisters and brother, Mrs. Florence Pinkney. Mrs. Albertha Atkinson. Mr. Herbert Gibbons. In memory of my dear ones, Mother, ANNIE JONES, died November 7th, 1894. Father, THOMAS B. JONES, died November 10, 1894. Brother, WALTER H. JONES, November 6, 1907. Sister, LEILA JONES DAVIS, March 17, 1910. Good-bye, good-bye, and God bless you! We say it in joyful tone; For safe in the Father's keeping We surely can trust His own. Good-bye, it is but for a moment; The way to our home lies straight; We'll enter it, some in the morning, And some in the evening late. Good-bye, good-bye and God bless you! 'The harvest immortal stands All glowing with golden promise, And ripe for the reapers' hands, And he that goeth forth weeping To scatter the precious seed, Shall doubtless come with rejoicing, Well-laden with shining sheaves. Good-bye, good-bye and God bless you! Again we white heart and hand, And promise that true to our Master, God helping us, ever we'll stand. No harm shall touch His beloved. No pestilence dread draw near; His hand shall shield from all evil, His presence shall banish fear. A loving daughter and sister, Subseribe for The Tribune. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson XI.—First Quarter, For March 16, 1913. Text of the Lesson, Gen. xxii, 1-13. Memory Verses, 12, 13—Golden Text, Hos. vi, 6—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. In the last part of the previous chapter we see Abraham dwelling at Beersheba, the well of the oath, having made a covenant with Abimelech. There he called on the name of Jehovah, and for the first time we have the name of "the everlasting God," which carries us on to Ps. xc, 2; Isa. xl, 28. Every new name of God has some new revelation of Himself. The everlasting God not only tells us that He is, from everlasting to everlasting, but He loves with everlasting love and carries us in His everlasting arms and is always the same Jehovah. (Jer. xxai, 3; Deut. xxxiii, 27). Whether He blesses us or tries us, He is the same God of love. For years the heart of Abraham had been made glad by this boy, this beloved son for whom he had waited full twenty-five years, and now he is commanded to offer him for a burnt offering. There is nothing quite like this in all the Bible story. The demand seems overwhelmingly awful, but God is love, and God is faithful, and Abraham knew it. The New Testament record is that, knowing the promise and being certain that God would somehow fulfill it, even if He had to raise Isaac up from the dead, He did receive him from the dead in a figure (Heb. xi, 17-19). After some twenty years Jacob received Joseph back as from the dead. God spared Isaac and Joseph, but He spared not His own Son (Rom. viii, 32), and, He being literally alive from the dead, all things are made sure to us in Him. I cannot think that Abraham talked this over with Sarah; but, being sure that he would bring the boy back again, he started off early in the morning, taking only two of his young men with him. His destination was Moriah, which is now part of Jerusalem, the same hill that David bought from Ornan, the Jehovite, where the destroying angel stayed his hand when Jehovah said, "It is enough," and where Solomon built the temple (H Sam. 16, 24, 25; H Chron. iii. 1). How wonderful are the associations of truths and places in Scripture and how all center around the cross, and the indescribable sacrifice of the Son of God! It was on the third day that the place was reached and the great transaction accomplished (verse 4), and how often a third day event calls our attention to the great center of all past history and to the resurrection time, ever drawing nearer! Consider Jonathan and the marriage in Cana and all others that you can find in the book. Note the confidence with which Abraham says to the young men, "I and the lad will go and worship and come again to you" (verse 5). He was fully persuaded that it would be so. Now see the lad carrying the wood and the father with the fire and the knife, and they went both of them together (verse 6). One cannot but see the Son of God bearing His cross and remember the words, "It pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief" (Isa. iii, 10). It was the only way to save us and so wondrously foreshadowed in Abraham and Isaac. Hear the lad as he says to his father, "Behold the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" (Verse 7.) Oh, the anguish of the father's heart! But do we ever consider the anguish of the heart of God the Father? What did he know of "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world?" (Rev. XIII. S) Was it just then or when he placed the ram on the altar in Isaac's stead or through the whole incident that he saw Christ's day and was glad? (John viii, 56.) Notice the repeated saying, "They went both of them together" (verses 5, 6, S), reminding us of the "they two went on" of II Kings ii, 6, 7, S, 11, and suggesting perfect oneness and accord. We do not imagine any resistance on the part of Isaac as his father placed him on the altar upon the wood and bound him and took the knife to slay his son. We think of such words as "of his own voluntary will;" "I lay down my life of myself;" "I delight to do Thy will, O my God" (Lev. i, 3; John x, 17, 18; Ps xl, S; Hab. x, 7, 9), and we remember how the Lord Jesus gave Himself into the hands of His enemies and suffered them to take Him and bind Him and lead Him and mock Him and scourge Him and crucify Him, and He took it all as a cup which His Father gave Him to drink. It was enough. The child of promise was given back to God. Abraham saw God and not the child, and now the Lord speaks, the uplifted hand is stayed, and the ram is placed on the altar in Isaac's stead. Isaac was spared and given back from the dead in a figure. God spared not His own Son, and as truly as the ram died in Isaac's stead so did Jesus Christ die in my stead. "His own self bare my sins in His own body on the tree;" "the Son of God loved me and gave Himself for me." By His being made a curse for us all who truly receive Him are delivered from the curse of the law (I Pet. ii, 24; Gal. ii, 20; ill, 13). The Lord did see and provide—Jehovah-jireh (verse 14 and margin). What He has provided in Him see Eph. 1, 3-7; Rom. viii, 32; I Pet. 1, 3, 4, and remember that all is freely by grace (Rom. iii, 24).

From present indications, Savannah seems to be in a fair way for honor in the U. S. Consular service. It is said that Col. P. A. Stovall, Editor of the Savannah Press, is slated as Minister to Switzerland, a very desirable post in the Consular service. Col. Stovall is one of Savannah's most distinguished citizens. During the recent presidential campaign, he did heroic service for the Wilson cause. And this in the midst of great odds. Col Stovall is a man of great ability and should President Wilson see fit to honor him by giving him the post to Switzerland, and we sincerely trust that he will. we are quite sure that Col. Stovall will measure up full to his duties and thus prove a diplomat of the highest type. The Tribune hails with delight and approves the steps being taken to discourage the promiscuous giving of excursions by our people during the summer months. The main reason given by those who are backing the movement is the exhorbitant price charged for boat hire. While a protest against this high rate is justified, yet higher grounds should be taken as a reason to discourage this pro-cessious form of pleasure. It should be discouraged mainly from a moral standpoint. There is no telling of the number of girls who have been led to ruin by certain of these excursions and picnics. As a protection of them alone efforts should be made to stop the practice Again our people spend entirely too much money in this direction. It is very conservatively estimated that not less than $50,000.00 are spent each season on boat excursions alone. This is an enormous amount for a poor, struggling people. In agitating this matter those additional reasons should be given for its discontinuance. It is true that we should have some form of pleasure and recreation, but upon a whole we have been having too much at the expense of morality and health. In advocating this matter, and should it become effective, a great financial loss would be entailed by our job printing department. About ninety-five per cent. of the printing for these excursions and picnics is done by us. As great as the sacrifice may be, we will gladly bear it in order that this great evil may be abated. It behooves every well thinking person to become interested in this movement and lend aid in discouraging it. The campaign now being waged by the Huntingdon club for a cleaner and better Savannah, ought to have, the approval and support of all classes of our citizens who have the best interest of our city at heart. It is an established fact, widely known, that ours is one of the most beautiful cities in our country. The beauty and symmetry of our streets and parks, and our squares and drive ways, have elicited the most gratuitous praise from visitors. The aesthetic renown of our city grows more and more widespread each day. Each day finds the tourists in our midst, who are attracted here by the wide spread report of the health and beauty of our city. We are now enjoying an enviable reputation. This reputation must be maintained. This can only be done when every one does his duty as a citizen in keeping his premises clean. In this, our people have a full share of responsibility. Our premises too must be kept in first class shape if we wish to add to the cleanliness and health of our city. The Huntingdon club has offered several prizes for the best kept yards during a certain period. To enter this contest and come out on top would goa long way toward establishing the fact that we as a people are not altogether lacking in the virtue of cleanliness in and around our premises, as is so often charged. The Huntingdon club has started a good work. In it, they should receive encouragement and support of its campaign for a cleaner and better Savannah among our own people. Let us put forth extra effort to emphasize in a material way, the great civic pride that lies within us. It is indeed with a great deal of satisfaction and interest that we note the inauguration in Brooklyn N. Y., of a movement to establish a permanent statue trophy to the memory of the late John B. Taylor's, the World's champion quarter mile runner. A more fitting and timely movement could hardly have been thought of. John B. Taylor, Jr. was one of the World's greatest athletes. As a runner, he stood at the top of his profession, defeating all comers. As an athlete of the highest type, he brought fame and renown not only to himself but to the entire race with which he was identified. In the athletic world in which John B. Taylor, Jr., excelled, the Negro is regarded as being rather a nonentity. That he possesses great patentiality has never been seriously considered. Only here and there has there been found one of our number who had the daring and courage to compete for athletic honors with those who were inclined not to give a square deal. John B. Taylor, Jr., knocked assunder all the barriers to the athletic world. Howard P. Drew is doing likewise. Through the efforts of these brave and courageous young men, we are being heard and felt in the athletic field as well as in others. We have within our midst young men and boys of wonderful physique and athletic bearing. Every sign points to success in athletics if the same is pursued. Our last local track meet gave us "an eye" on some of the hitherto latent strength of some our athletics. Our young people should be encouraged to engage in athletics. This laudable movement to establish a permanent statue trophy to the late John B. Taylor will go a long way toward perpetuating the memory of one of our greatest athletes. It will go a long way toward encouraging numbers of our young men to do likewise. The gentlemen behind the John B. Taylor's Memorial movement should be encouraged. Let every member of the colored world of sport and others see to it that he shall have a share in honoring the memory of the world's greatest quarter miler, John B. Taylor, Jr. --- Among the major evils with which our country seems to be infested from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Maine to Florida, none is attracting more attention at this time than the municipal graft system now so rampant in so many of our leading municipalities. New York city, our great metropolis, to the regret of the whole American people is now the cynosure of the eyes of the entire world on account of the recent disclosures brought out by the report of the Aldermanic committee appointed to investigate police conditions in that city. "We have received," said the committee in its report. "shocking evidence of a wide spread corrupt alliance between the police and gamblers and disorderly house keepers." "The elimination of this grafting is one of the most difficult and important problems with which we are confronted." The foregoing statements, coming as they do from the committee appointed to investigate graft conditions as they exist among the New York policemen, indicate without doubt that graft and corruption are galal among them. The time is indeed ripe for a ban to be placed on dishonest officials. A public office is a public trust. His position makes him so. He is responsible to the people for a faithful and honest performance of the duties of the office in which they have placed him. When he fails to do this he fails to perform the trust reposed in him. There is no excuse whatever for dishonesty. Every well meaning and deep thinking human being knows this. Pooryages do not warrant dishonesty. Nothing else does. Beginning with the Becker trial and continuing throughout the present investigation now being carried on by the Aldermanic committee on police conditions, revelations following rapidly in the wake of one another, have established beyond reasonable doubt that the entire police system of our great Northern Metropolis is rotten to the core. While we share with others the humiliation in which the corrupt state of affairs of our greatest city brings to us, yet we rejoice to know that her loyal and faithful citizens do not countenance criminality in any degree among officials and that they are determined to weed by roo SEABOARD AIR LINE Arrive Effective January 7, 1913 Depart 3 25 pm.....

In raisins draft herses a wise evlec- tion ef breeding stock is of the most importance. Drafters of heavy weight. geod action and proper conformation cannot be produced from undersized. inferior or unsound breeding stock, writes M. Watson in the National Stockman. First of all, a good brood mare should be sound and free from all defects. A sound mare of fairly good. wide, drafty type, even though she may not be so very large, if mated with the right Kind of stallion will produce drafters of a high order, Such a mare, however, should not ‘be bred to-a stallion of extreme weight. Bet- ter results will follow if she is bred to the rugged, heavy-honed stallion of me- dium draft size and the fillies from this crossbred to tie heavy stallion. in breeding draft borses the stallion is of even gréater amporiance than the mare on account of there being so many mares that are undersized. It is important that the stallions should be of good size and heave hone, and sonnd- Tess in a stallion should be the first consideration, It is a matter of sure prise that farmers glo net pay more attention to this point both when buv- ing a Stultion and when breeding their mares. They are apt to select a stab lion much as they weuld a steer, being inffaenced almost entirely by the size aml appearince of the body, and tao littie attention fs given to the feet auld legs. It is impossible to have a sobi draft horse without good feet andthe Jexs sound and well placed. There never was a time when the light bored, undersized draft stallion was! so poor an investment as now. ‘The bis, strous honed, shapely fellows are thoes that will make the money, When I speak of sizeT do het mean weight | alone, Too many farmers.are deceived | by mnere Weight. A draft horse at ma- turity in goad condition should weich from 1.00 pounds to a ton, In the hichost type ef draft horse of late years much more attention has. been civen to quality and action, There is xed reason for this! The drefter of xeod action is much more usefil on the farm than the horse whose sreat- est qualification is simply weight. While the drafter is not a driver and never will be, he should be a zood walker and go free and straight at the trot in order to be of the greatest use on the farm. A man who has a pair of mares that move in : straight line and have a good walk does not complain that he cannot get enough work out of his team. Quality is also very desirable. It always attracts, the attention of the buyer and makes the horse a ready seller. Not only is It important that the drafter should be wile awake and active for farm use, Int it is equally important in the drafter that goes to the city. A.

The valrymau wav today allows his calves to suck the cows is about as far bebind the times as the man whc harvests his grain with the cradle There are still a few men who pose us dairsmen who follow this practice. The better practice is to allow the calf to get the first milk direct from the ud- der and remain with the cow for thir- ty-six hours, then take away and give it milk to drink from “a pail. The amount given should not exceed one gallon twice a day. The better way still would be to give this amount at three intervals instead of two. g Get Our | Prices ON JOB PRINTING Feed For the Dry Cow.
