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

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.

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

rather to make the fact known

This does not mean that there is
to bean unreasonable or drastic in-
terpretation of the state law on
the subject of automobile driving.
‘The commissioners, most of whom
5 ardent automobilists them-
selves, have no such intention.
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.”

NIGHT
West Broad Street Presents a
Very Animated Scene at Night

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. Last Sunday was pledge day but our members did not do their duty. This will not do as the monthly obligation must be met without fail. The following services will be held to-morrow at 5:30 a.m. Preaching at 11 a.m., Sunday School at 2:30 p.m. A. C.E. League at 7 p.m. Preaching at $^{8:15}$ p.m. Everybody invited.

A cordial invitation is extended to the public on the coming Sunday.
St. Benedict's Church
Gaston and East Broad Streets. With Palm Sunday begins the Holy week, during which the greatest and holiest mysteries of our Faith will be commemorated. The palms will be blessed solemnly before High Mass and distributed to the people; the blessing given to the palms will obtain God's Blessings on the places in which they are kept; the old palms should be burned. The usual Sunday Service will take place on Palm Sunday. On Wednesday there will be an evening service at 8 p.m. After the Rosary, the questions taken from the Question-Box will be answered.

Monumental Notes
Another glorious day was experienced at our church last Sunday. Sunday School at 9:30 a.m. was, as usual, good, both in attendance and collection. The lessons were briefly discussed. Rev. Townsley, the pastor, made his usual explanatory remarks on the blackboard and leaf cluster. Rev. R. Brady preached a beautiful sermon at 11 o'clock a.m. One infant was baptized by the pastor. At 6 o'clock p.m. the A. C. E. League met in its regular session, and the topic was thoroughly discussed by all present. This department seems to have a rapid growth: members are joining every Sunday. At 8 o'clock p.m. Rev. L. A. Townsley, the pastor, filled the pulpit and preached an able sermon. One joined the church. Class meeting Tuesday night was well attended. Services tomorrow: Prayer meeting 5:30 a.m. Sunday School at 9:30 a.m. Preaching at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. A. C. E. League 1. p.m., 2 hours earlier, then go to the Union League at 5 p.m.
The Evangelical Ministers' Union
The Evangelical Ministers' Union met at St. Philip A. M. E church, Rev. W. V. Daughtry, presiding. Devotional service was conducted by Rev. C. W. Prothro. Having addressed the throne of Grace the 8th chapter of St. Luke was then read. The topic of the day was "Divine Service." Rev. E. D. Giddins was the principal speaker. He spoke from the text, St. Luke 43d verse of said chapter, subject "A direct communication with God." Rev. L. A. Townsley offered the closing prayer. Rev. R. J. Jefferson, Rev. W. A. Holmes and Rev. C. W. Kershaw, visitors in the city, were present gave a word of cheer. Next Tuesday there will be sermonic report, all must come prepared. Mrs. R. H. Singleton, Mrs. Hudson, Sister Hugers and Sister Rosa Smith attended the meeting of the Union. The Union will meet at Asbury, M. E. church next Tuesday. Come out. Visitors always welcome.

On Good Friday there will also be a service from 12 to 3 commemorating Christ's suffering on the cross. At night the story of the Cross will be sung. St. Stephen's church is free to everybody. Come!!
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. If you happen to be passing through our city at any time attend services at First Bryan Baptist Church on Bryan street.
Asbury M E Church.
Services were good last Sunday. Six persons joined the church and several persons expressed a desire for salvation. The Rev. W. A Holmes, pastor of the M. E. Church, Statesboro, Ga., is assisting the pastor in our revival services. Rev. Holmes is a great preacher, and great crowds are flocking to Asbury every night to hear this noted divine. Special services tomorrow. At 11 a. m., preaching, palm sermon and palm services. At 8 p. m., revival services. Our revival will very likely continue until Easter, and Rev. Holmes will assist. Everybody is invited.
In Memoriam.
In memory of our loved one,
JOSEPHINE J. 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.

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).

A GREAT SPEECH
A FT e«x<scon on Insurance
Ladies and Gentlemen—
You have been told of the re-
markable suecess and many
other good things pertaining
to the Ga. Mutual, and now I
presume you are ready to
take your ‘first lesson on
“wood insurance.” For in-
stant: Mr. Jno. Doe unfor-
tunately becomes ill and sends
ina 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 L
1 would say, that the inspec?
tor who purposely fails to
gtive 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 bea man of good man-
ners and ready to discuss in-
telligentl* any part of the
policy contract thatis brought”
to his attenfion. These quali-
fications are highly essential
and the Ga. Mutual never
inisses an opportunity to put
them into practice or recom-
mend them to others.

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

and branch any and all corrupt and nefarious practices now in vogue among officials. The citizens of New York are taking the right course in this matter. The graft system, now so wide spread, must cease. Our officials of whatever station, must be made to understand that in the administration of the affairs of the offices with which they are entrusted, that honesty is the best policy for them to take. Down with the grafters, should be the slogan of the times. We need clean, honest officials in the administration of the affairs of our municipalities. We must have them. New York is establishing a good precedent. We sincerely trust that the Aldermanic committee will not stop short of a full and satisfactory performance of their duty.

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

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

While the drafter is not a driver and
never will be, he should be a zood
walker and go free and straight at

use on the farm. A man who has a

complain that he cannot get enough

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.

Grass and Green Corn For Cattfe.
_ A southern Wisconsin farmer annu
ally markets 100 to 300 head of beeres
which he fattens on his 700 aere cor
and blue grass farm, In order to mint
iize labor this farmer buys his cattle
in the spring and runs them on blue
Erass pasture throughout the summer,
where they make profitable and eco
nomical gains. In case of drought in
fate 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 pas-
ture, and it fs only during the last
three or four weeks of the finishing
period that they have access to ear
corn. q

Feed Calves by Hand.
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.

Feed For the Dry Cow.
The ration fur the dry cow should
be formulated with three things in
mind—namely, to furnish a sufficient
amount of protein to properly develop
the fetus and allow a surplus for the
needs of the body of the cow, to sup-
ply enough carbohydrates that the cow
may lay on a Uttle fat and to supply
succulence.
