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).

To Chose the Location for the National Baptist Theological Seminary To all whom it may concern. Greeting: The National Baptist Convention with more than two million members, eighteen thousand churches and seventeen thousand ministers has decided to build a National Baptist Theological Seminary for the purpose of engaging in the work of training the future leadership of the denomination. It is expected that this Theological Seminary will eventually form the nucleus of a great university that will be the climax of the educational system of the colored Baptists of the United States. A commission composed of three members from each of the states desiring representation in the matter of locating the school has been appointed by the National Baptist Convention in keeping with the STAR THEATRE order of the Convention. Notice is hereby given that this commission is called to meet in Memphis, Tenn., May 29th, 1913 at the Metropolitan Church at 2 p.m. to give a final decision as to the location of our proposed school. All communities desiring, the school located in their midst are hereby notified to formulate their offers and have them in the hands or the Corresponding Secretary of the Educational Board not later than May 1st, 1913, so that members of the commission may have four weeks in which to investigate and compare propositions made. Offers arriving after May 1st, will not be submitted in this competition. Publications interested in the advancement of the Colored people are asked to copy this notice. T. J. Searcy, Chairman. Sutton E. Griggs, Secretary.

She has with her, her two infant daughters who are quite as healthy and fine looking as their mother. Mrs Chatters will be delighted to see her many friends here (continue from last week) A GREAT SPEECH A Lesson on Insurance Ladies and Gentlemen You have been told of the remarkable success and many other good things pertaining to the Ga. Mutual, and now I presume you are ready to take your first lesson on "good insurance." For instant: Mr. Jno. Doe unfortunately becomes ill and sends in a claim to the Ga. Mutual. The inspector calls on Mr. Doe and after being invited in, takes off his hat before crossing the threshold of" the door. Now right here I I would say, that the inspector who purposely fails to give this due and gentlemanly respect to your home, should not be allowed to enjoy the honor of your patronage. Next comes the assistant superintendent, better known as the "pay man." He too should be a man of good manners and ready to discuss intelligently any part of the policy contract that is brought to his attention. These qualifications are highly essential and the Ga. Mutual never misses an opportunity to put them into practice or recommend them to others. To be continued March 22nd Branch Office 509 W. Broad St., Sayannah, Ga. H. T. Singleton, Dist.

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.....

Revivals are being conducted in nearly all of the churches. Five houses were burned Saturday night last in Dittmersville. Luckily none of the homes of colored owners were damaged. While attempting to light a fire with kerosene oil Sunday afternoon, Mrs. Amanda Dupree who resided at 558 West Bryan street, was fatally burned. She died Monday morning. Mrs. Martha Stewart, 70 years old was burned to death at Sandfly last week. She was alone when her home caught fire. MODISTES SEE THE WORLD. Two Dressmakers Who Combine Travel and Business Agreeably. That people who want to travel can find a way to do so is exemplified by the experience of two dressmakers who are at present at a fashionable southern resort. They have been all over this country from coast to coast following their trade in a simple fashion, and apparently they get as much pleasure out of life as people who wander about in yachts and private cars. The two women, who are middle-aged, drifted together by chance and have been friends now for a number of years. Their plan has been to go to a resort and find rooms in a house as near as possible to the best hotels. Thomas Grice, a white boy being overcome by the fumes of gas and steam, died from the effects while attempting to bathe on Saturday night last. The white teachers have petitioned the Board of Education for increased pay. A two months' old white baby was suffocated to death while sleeping between its parents. It occurred on Sunday night. Nellie Clifton, a white woman, attempted suicide by jumping in the river Sunday morning last. She was rescued and the rescorder gave her thirty days. The knitting mills east of the city gives employment to about two hundred colored women. Arrangements are now being made to enlarge the plant and double the force. The colored helpers have proven efficient. It is reported from Washington that Mr. A. Pratt Adams will be appointed District Attorney to succeed Mr. Akerman, and Mr. David C. Barrow, collector of customs to succeed Hon. W. R. Leaken. The property on the N. W. corner of Broughton and Barnard was sold on Tuesday for $98,000. It was bought eleven years ago for $50,000. Rev. J. A. Pinson of South Carolina is assisting in the revival at the Second Baptist Church. Rev. R. B. Williams of Macon, is ably assisting Rev. E. D. Davis in his successor revival at Tabernacle Baptist Church. Much interest is being manifested and large crowds are present each night. Mr. Moses Watkins was severely scalded by escaping steam Tuesday last at the Central Railway shops. He was removed to the hospital and is not expected to recover. Mr. Joseph Goiphin died suddenly. Tuesday on West Broad near Broughton Street. Rev. Curtright "A couple of years ago Rev. Felix Curtright hoppee off a Rock Island train and took a stroll around Joliet to see how the colored people fared. After walking up and down South Joliet Street a couple of times he looked up a few of the members of the Second Baptist Church and had a good live prayer meeting going inside of thirty minutes. The church didn't happen to have a pastor just at that time, so Felix Curtright camped right out on the job and he has been there ever since. The church has been finished, the parsonage built, the colored man's social center established and the credit of the "Second Baptist" is just as good or maybe a little better than most any other church in town." The above, taken from "The Banker" a pamphlet published quarterly at the First National Bank of Jobet, and devoted to the financial interest of Witt county, Illinois, will be of much interest to Savannahians. Rev. Curtright is well known in this city, and the success which has attended his endeavors in Illinois will be noted by his large numbers of friends here with much pleasure. Gobblers' Installation On last Tuesday night the Gobblers held their annual installation at The Savannah Home Association Reading Room. The following officers were installed: J. C. Williams, Chief Gobbler; J. H. Paige, Leading Gobbler; John F. Andrews, Check Gobbler; W. H. Herbert, Recording Gobbler; Geo F. Tyson, Cash Gobbler; M. L. Brown, Law Gobbler, R W. Cole, Lecturing Gobbler. Mrs. Ruth Brown Allen after spending nine months very pleasantly in New York, returned home last Tuesday. Christian Endeavor On Sunday the following subject, "Obeying Conscience" was well discussed by the Endeavors. "How may every Sabbath be the Lord's Day" Jer. 17:21-27, will be under discussion on Sunday March 16, at the First Congregational Church. Don't forget Monday March 17 for the Christian Endeavor auction of lunch boxes at 529 Huntingdon street, east. Two Dressmakers Who Combine Travel and Business Agreeably. That people who want to travel can find a way to do so is exemplified by the experience of two dressmakers who are at present at a fashionable southern resort. They have been all over this country from coast to coast, following their trade in a simple fashion, and apparently they get as much pleasure out of life as people who wander about in yachts and private cars. The two women, who are middle-aged, drifted together by chance and have been friends now for a number of years. Their plan has been to go to a resort and find rooms in a house as near as possible to the best hotels and residence district. Their business cards announce that making alterations in gowns is their specialty. So far they have never been refused when they have asked permission to leave a few of their cards in the hotels, though they find that a large majority of their customers are sent to them by customers who were satisfied and said a good word for their work. In some towns they did not put out a regular dress-making sign, but placed an attractive colored fashion plate in the window, and it moved all that was necessary. They have inexpensively, so that they can afford to do sewing reasonably. They are prompt, obliging and willing to do small jobs. In the summer they go each season to a different resort and in winter seek warm climates. Last year they went south in October and took the first floor of a little cottage with a bit of yard at the side. They planted a vegetable and flower garden, which is now in bloom. They make each stepping place their home and do not feel at all like transients. And so they travel about, seeing interesting places, making pleasant friends and thoroughly enjoying life. Cleaning Fut Glass. Cut glass is very fashionable now and is used upon the dinner table and in the drawing room with great success. But, alas, how easily it can be chipped and spilled! What precautions can be taken with the precious piece? Cut glass must be handled very carefully when it is wetted, so that no risk is run of chipping it. A wooden bowl will help. Place in a wooden bowl some shrivings of a mild white soap and pour over these boiling water. When the water has become lice-warm wash the glass in the suds, using a soft nail brush. Then dip the glass in a second wood bowl, this time filled with clear ink ewarm water, until all three of soap is removed. Now dip the glass into a third bowl of lukewarm water to which bluing has been added (for the bluing will give a brilliance to the glass), and then dry it with a very soft cloth. Polish it with soft tissue paper. Gilded and patterned china may well be washed in the same careful way, but the bluing should be omitted. It's Mighty Good Dissolve one and a half tablespoonfuls powdered golatin in half a cupful of milk says Table 5alk. Put yolks of three eggs into a sturgeon, add two cupfuls of milk, stir over the fire for five minutes. Mix two tablespoonfuls of rice four with two cupfuls of milk, add one tablespoonfe' of butter, four T T D A D N T table-poonfuls of sugar, stir over the fire until thick, then add 1 cusard, strained juice of one lemon and four table-poonfuls of chopped nut meats. Pour into a dishy serving dish, allow to set. Whisk up the whites of eggs till stuff. Then gradually beat into them two table-poonfuls of sugar. Put this meringue on top and decorate with halves of walnuts. Attractive Cake Recipes. Angel gingerbread sounds most enticing. Beat one egg well and into it one-quarter cup butter-(melted), one-half cup sugar, a pinch of salt and one-half teaspoonful each of cinnamon, clove, ginger and nutmeg; also one-quarter cup of molasses. Stir this well, then add alternately one-half cupful boiling water and one heaping cup of flour. Then add one level teaspoonful of soda dissolved in one tablespoonful of cold water. Beat thoroughly, then bake in a thin sheet in a moderately hot oven. A good orange cake recipe is begun by the usual direction to cream the butter and sugar. In this case the proportions are one cupful of sugar and one-half cupful butter. Add two eggs well beaten, mix well and then add three-quarters of a cupful, of milk, one and a half cupful of flour and one teaspoonful of baking powder. Bake in three layers and put together with a filling made as follows: Boil one cupful of sugar and four tablespoonfuls of water until it threads, add the well beaten white of egg and beat until cold. When partly cool add the grated rind of one orange. Mock Cream For Coffee When "real" cream is not to be had easily for the morning or after dinner coffee an agreeable substitute may be made by beating the yolk of one egg and adding it to a quart of milk and beating the two together thoroughly. Medication and Prevention Medication and Prevention The regular physicians are studying not only methods to cure disease, but even more graphically are they engaged in the great problems of preventive medicine. Having appreciated the vast influence of lower forms of life (bacteria, protezon, insects, etc.) upon human life and health, they have endeavored to make this knowledge practical and have succeeded perseverably as is shown in the history of the Bavanna canal, the sanitation of Cuba, the gradation of yellow fever from the south, the stamping out of human plague on the Pacific coast, and that but a beginning. Parallel with this greatly increased work in preventive lines there has been a lessening of drug medication. That is not to say physicians have discarded drugs. They have not, and some are wedded to drugs as ever. But among the more intelligent there is a gradually lessening dependence upon drugs and a gradually increasing dependence upon physical methods—diet and hygiene. Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette. Hamlet Under Difficulties John Coleman, the celebrated actor, once played Hamlet under difficulties. The audience was small, and a seafaring man, who had a prominent seat in the fourth row of the pit, was not very much interested. After he had left ostentatiously three or four times, returning in a merrier frame of mind, Coleman stopped the play, walked to the footlights and said: "If my friend would stay in his seat and keep his eye on me I think I could interest him." "Hamlet" was then proceeded with, and the mariner drew from his pocket a telescope, which he extended to its full length and placed to his right eye, fixing it on Coleman when he appeared in the play and following him as he paced the stage. As soon as Hamlet completed his speech the telescope was audibly shut up and then regenerated as Hamlet began to speak. Coleman's Hamlet was not a success. — London Mall. Sights In the Arctic Explorers who penetrate the Arctic and Antarctic seas have a chance to observe one of the strangest phenomena in nature, that of smoke rising from the sea. Whenever the temperature falls to 25 degrees below zero clouds of steaming vapor ascend from the ocean, so go immediately frozen into tiny particles of ice and dropped once more into the water. The same thing takes place on land, the vapor rising from the snow and even from the bodies of the explorers themselves. In this case, however, the ice particles fall on the ground and make a wword rustling, like the swish of a silk dress. At 40 degrees below zero the sap of trees is turned to ice, and the trunks burst asunder with a sharp report. These mysterious sounds and sights are awe inspiring to all who do not know their cause, and they may account for some of the strange tales that are told of the frozen north. Power of a Lightning Flash: It is hardly possible to use instruments for the purpose of figuring the force of lightning, yet there are many other ways of calculating familiar to every mathematician. The amount of light given by a single lightning flash is enough to illuminate an area two miles square. The bolt itself would be visible several miles farther off, but the remotest part of the region mentioned would have as much light as would be given by a candle, quite enough to read by. To produce such a light it would be necessary to expend 13,000 horsepower for a second. These figures appear very large, but the time is short. The flash might be only one one-thousandth part of a second, but the impression on the eye would continue for a tenth of a second anyway. Figured down to an exact hour, this amount of force would mean only about four horsepower.—Electric News. Just as Good. A teacher was taking a class of small children in English grammar and was explaining the difference between a common and an abstract noun. "An example of a common noun is dog," she said. "for you can see it, while you cannot see anything that is an abstract noun. "For instance, have any of you seen abundance?" There was silence for about a minute. Then a little boy got up and said: "Please, ma'am, I have never seen a bun dance, but I have seen a cake walk."—London Telegraph. The Letter I: The name of "I" is in Hebrew jod on jot, a hand, and the earliest characters representative of the sound closely resemble a hand with but three fingers. Little by little one finger after another dropped off until only the little finger was left, and the letter became the smallest in the alphabet, a jot or tittle, that is, the "I," and its dot being synonymous of the most insignificant things that could be described. The Main Problem- "I suppose that there are many problems which polar explorers seek to solve?" said the unscientific man. "Yes," replied the intrepld traveler, "a great many."

PUGHSLEY, Licensed Embalmer REMEMBER THE PLACE 514 West Broadt Street SAVANNAH, GA Success With Horses Demands a Wise Selection of Breeding Stock. In raising draft horses a wise selection of breeding stock is of the most importance. Drafters of heavy weight, good 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. Better results will follow if she is bred to the rugged, heavy boned stallion of medium draft size and the fillies from this crossbred to the heavy stallion. A. M. MONROE & COMPANY Funeral Directors and Embalmers JAMES BACON Manager Prompt and courteous attention given all business entrusted to us. Everything of the latest style LATEST STYLE SILVER GRAY AND BLACK CARS CARRIAGE FOR HIRE 60 WEST BROAD STREET Phone 1211 In breeding draft horses the stallion is of even greater importance 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 heavy home, and soundness in a stallion should be the first consideration. It is a matter of surprise that farmers do not pay more attention to this point both when buying a stallion and when breeding their mares. They are apt to select a stallion much as they would a steer, being influenced almost entirely by the size and appearance of the body, and too little attention is given to the feet and legs. It is impossible to have a gold draft horse without good feet and the legs sound and well placed. There never was a time when the light boned, undersized draft stallion was so poor an investment is now. The big, strong boned, shaped fellows are those that will make the money. When I speak of size, I do not mean weight alone. Too many farmers are deceived by mere weight. A draft horse at maturity in good condition should weigh from 1,500 pounds to a ton.

Wilson, 719 West Broad St, Licensed Embalmer Phone 2328 In the highest type of draft horse of late years much more attention has been given to quality and action. There is good reason for this. The drafter of good action is much more useful on the farm than the horse whose greatest qualification is simply weight. While the drafter is not a driver and never will be, he should be a good 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 a 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 wide awake and active for farm use, but it is equally important in the drafter that goes to the city.

Grass and Green Corn For Cattle. A southern Wisconsin farmer annually markets 100 to 300 head of beaves, which he fattens on his 700 acre corn and blue grass farm. In order to minimize labor this farmer buys his cattle in the spring and runs them on blue grass pasture throughout the summer, where they make profitable and economical gains. In case of drought in late summer he supplies the steers with green corn fed as a soiling crop. In a word, the gains that these animals accumulate are made mostly on pasture, and it is only during the last three or four weeks of the finishing period that they have access to car corn. Colored Millinery Store Feed Calves by Hand. The dairyman who today allows his calves to suck the cows is about as far behind the times as the man who harvests his grain with the cradle. There are still a few men who pose as dairymen who follow this practice. The better practice is to allow the calf to get the first milk direct from the udder and remain with the cow for thirty-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.
