The Savannah Tribune VOLUME XXVIII All Schools Close At Noon Day of Races TICKET SELLING CONTEST BEING VERY CLOSELY WAGED BY SCHOOLS Over One Hundred Dollars Subscribed—All Unattached Entries Must Be In By Tuesday—Four Hundred Boys in Races—List of Subscribers. On May 2nd, the day of the Negro school children's races at the baselab park, the Negro public schools will close at noon. Permission for this half holiday was granted by the Board of Education Monday night upon the recommendation of Sunt Ashmore. That interest in the coming races is at a high point is being very plainly shown by the scramble for tickets which is now going on in all of the schools. No sooner had the first allotment of tickets been delivered by the printers to the committee on arrangement than every last one of them was taken by the four public and the larger private schools, and there were three thousand of them in this batch, too. This was on Tuesday and the next day a rush order was placed by the committee for four thousand more and by Friday morning there was less than a thousand of these tickets left on hand. Each school has on the streets a veritable army of ticket sellers and the number of tickets already disposed of greatly surpasses that of any other ticket selling contest that has ever been waged in this city. Already there have been small wagers made that the total number of tickets sold will not be under eight thousand. As to what school seems to be in the lead in this contest, it is too early to state. The four public schools, and the Beach Institute, on account of their large enrollment, are of course in the lead. The representatives of these schools are Adella Hemby, West Broad street school; Lucile Clarke, East Broad street school; Mazie Wells, Maple street school; Eva Robinson, Hayen Home; Amanda Jones, Beach Institute. Yesterday afternoon witnessed the last of the weeding out process at the various schools and now all of the teams have been selected. All told, there will be something over four hundred boys in the races. Each of the three large public schools will be represented by about fifty boys, and the Haven Home and larger private schools by about twenty-five each. The subscriptions to the races have been very gratifying and surpass the amount raised last year by over twenty-five dollars. Among those who have subscribed are the leading professional men of the city, and several public spirited citizens. The total amount raised is one hundred and fifteen dollars. This is the last week which the schools have for selecting their teams and the names of all the entries must be sent to The Savannah Tribune by the coming Wednesday. The unattached entrants must have their applications in not later than Monday night. These must also be sent to The Tribune- Those who have subscribed to the races are as follows: Savannah Tribune $5 00 Ga. Mutual Ins. Co. H.T. Singleton 2 50 H. G. Young 1 50 W. J.

PASSED AWAY THURSDAY NIGHT AT HIS HOME. Was Prominent Figure in Baptist Church—Oldest Republican Leader of State-Editor The Georgia Baptist—Was Very Widely Known. The sad intelligence has reached us of the death of Rev. W. J. White, D. D., editor of the Georgia Baptist, which occurred at his home in Augusta, Thursday night about 7 o'clock. Dr. White was widely known throughout the state and country. He was a prominent figure in the Baptist church and was actively engaged in church work up to his death. He was the oldest Republican leader in the state and took active part in party councils especially during reconstruction times. He has done much for Negro journalism by his efforts on The Georgia Baptist which he edited until his death. Dr. White left a large and interesting family, with scores of friends throughout the country. Dr. White lived to a ripe old age Monroe Block to be Improved. Extensive improvements are about to be begin on the block on West Broad street, between Charles and Huntingdon which is owned by Mr. A. M. Monroe. The work, which will begin in a few days will consist, it is stated, of raising the dwelling and other improvements. This is one of the most valuable pieces of property in the city owned by a Negro, and the improvement to the property will greatly enhance its value. Bishop W. B. Derrick Succumbs to Death END CAME AT HIS HOME IN FLUSHING, N. Y. One of Leading Negro Churchmen of the Country—Interment to Take Place Monday—Many Noted Preachers to Attend Funeral. Bishop W. B. Derrick of the African Methodist Episcopal church, died at his residence in Flushing, N. Y., on last Tuesday at 10 o'clock. Bishop Derrick was one of the foremost Negro churchmen of the country and his career was a particularly noteworthy one. At the time of his death he was bishop of the fifteenth Episcopal district of the African Methodist Episcopal church. While Bishop Derrick had been in ill health for some time, yet his death was quite a shock. Prior to entering the bishopric, the deceased had served for many years as one of the general officers of the church. The funeral services and interment will take place on Monday afternoon at Flushing, N. Y., and many distinguished churchmen from all parts of the country will be present. Mrs. R. L. Barnes, 218 East Broad street, entertained at dinner Thursday evening Madam Walker of Indianapolis, Ind. Those present, Capt. and Mrs. Jno. Starr, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Warthen, Dr. and Mrs. I. D. Williams, Mrs. W. G. Hill and Mrs. R. R. Wright of Georgia State College; Mrs. Marion-Tolbert, Mr. L. E. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Harper. A Pleasant Surprise On Monday night 7th, there assembled at St. Philip A. M. E. parsonage a committee from the W. H. and F. M. society of St. Philip church led by Mrs. L. A. Newton and Mr. J. M. Northington The occasion was the presentation of a beautiful gold watch to Mrs. R. H. Singleton, the pastor's wife, by the society and a number of friends. It was a complete surprise to the pastor, Dr. Singleton, and his family and all the more appreciated. The presentation speech was made by Messrs J. M. Northington and J. H. Law and a most fitting response was made by Mrs. Singleton. A number of other very handsome and serviceable articles were also presented to the pastor and his wife. The contributors to the watch and donors present were: Mesdames L. A. Newton, Julia White, Binah Bowles, Laura Nolan, Julia Ward, W. O. Castleberry, Susan Lovett, S. E. Scott, Miss Rachael Drayton, Meesrs J. M. Northington, C. P. Perry, Frank H. Thomas, Geo. H. Cabule, S. D. Terrell, Mesdames Emma Beaton, R. C. Hodges Viola Williams, Lizzie Biggins, R. A. Lowe, Julia Campbell, J. E. Collins, Frances Mason, Josephine Bottamus, S. J. K. Waring, Gussie R. Brinson, Misses W. A. Russell, Jesse Brinson, C. M. Brinson, Robt, Mason, J. H, Law, H. Hymes, R. H. Pelote. Refreshments were then served and the party retired with many good wishes for the future. Ga., where they will remain about a week. For the journey Mrs. Cash was dressed in a very becoming gray suit and hat to match. While in Thomasville they will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Smith and of Rev. H. S. Barnwell, pastor of Bethany Congregational church. After returning home Rev. and Mrs. Cash will reside at 1212 East Broad street. Rev. Wm. L. Cash and Miss Clifford Brown Marry Rev. Wm. L. Cash and Miss Clifford Brown Marry REV. DEMOND OF CHARLESTON PERFORMED THE CEREMONY One of the Most Beautiful Affairs of the Year—Home of Bride Very Artistically Decorate—Large Crowd at Ceremonies One of the most interesting weddings that has taken place in this city for some time was that which occurred at the residence of Miss Rosalie Brown, 516 Anderson street, east, last Wednesday evening at 8:30 o'clock when her sister, Miss Clifford Sidora Prown, was given in marriage to Rev. William Levi Cash pastor of the First Congregational church, Taylor and Hubersham streets. The ceremonies, which were very impressive, were conducted by the Rev. A. L. DeMond's pastor of Plymouth Congregational church, Charleston, S. C. After the usual marriage service, Rev DeMond spoke of the great pleasure which it gave him to officiate at the marriage of a fellow churchman, and especially one of whom he had such high regard as Rev. Cash. The wedding procession, which was led by the ushers, Mr. C. A. R. McDowell and Prof. S. A. Grant, entered the back room of the double parlor from the half way, through the west door and then, to the strains of Mendelsohn's Wedding March, played by Miss Etta McIntosh, proceeded into the front room to the beautiful arch of palms under which the ceremony took place. Following the ushers came the ring bearer, little Marion Bryant, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Bryant. Immediately after the ring bearer, entered Miss Nettie A. Houston, maid of honor. The bride, leaning on the arm of her brother, Mr. E. D. Brown who gave her away in marriage, was the next to enter. Simultaneously with the approach of the bride and her brother to the arch of palms where the ceremony took place, appeared the groom and best man, the Rev. W. Nathaniel Clarke, pastor of Beth Eden Baptist church, who entered the front parlor from the west door. Then, in dead silence, with the immediate relatives of the bride standing near, the ceremonies were carried out, after which the bride and groom received the congratulations of their hosts of friends. The bride wore a charming white tulle gown with shadow lace and crystal trimmings over white charmeuse with deep accordian pleated flounce. Her veil of tulle was very becomingly arranged with a wreath of orange blossoms. She carried bridal roses tied with a large white satin bow. The maid of honor was dressed in pink chiffon over pink charmeuse. The bodice was cut with round yoke and trimmed with pearls. The skirt was beautifully draped and caught with buds. She wore a bandeau of crystal beads and a pompon in her hair. She carried a bouquet of pink carnations. The little ring bearer was dress in blue silk with val lace trimmings. Her hair was beautifully arra. ged in curls tied with blue satin ribbon. The groom is a native of Spartanburg, S. C., and is a graduate of Fisk University and of the Theological department of Oberlin college. He has been pastor of the First Congregational church, this city, for the past seven years, coming to this charge immediately from school. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Lydia Brown. She is a graduate of the Normal department of Atlanta University and has been a teacher in the schools of Chatham county and elsewhere. She is a young woman of a very amiable disposition, soft in manner and very widely liked by her associates. The presents which Rev. and Mrs Cash received were numerous and beautiful. The members of the First Congregational church presented a very substantial purse. Many congratulatory telegrams were received by them Rev. and Mrs. Cash left early the next morning for Thomasville. Services in the Churches of the City St. John Baptist Church The funeral of Mrs. Emma Woodard, who departed this life Thursday April 10th at 7:30 p.m. was held at the church on Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev W. M. Gray, assisted by Lie J. Slappy. Both the members of the church and friends of the deceased were out in large numbers thus showing how highly she was esteemed by all who knew her. The floral designs were many. The choir not only rendered music at the church but a great many went out to the cemetery and sang appropriate hymns. Mrs. Woodard was also a life member of the Berean Sunday school convention. The revival services which have been in progress for the past three weeks will close Sunday night. There will be quite a large number for baptism at the 11 o'clock services Sunday morning as the result of the very successful meeting. The B. Y. P. U. meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. and we hope to make it just as interesting as it was last Sunday evening. Every member and friend is urged to be at the communion services which will take place at 4 o'clock sharp. F. B. B. Church The beautiful sunshine on Sunday morning was quite an inducement to church goers, and a large number was present. Rev. Wright read for the lesson Matt. 24:30-35. The text was from Matt. 24-35. The subject was, "The Promises of God." The sermon was beautifully illustrated and a great many biblical promises that have never failed were related. The choir sang, "Wonderful Words of Life." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss." At night the church was crowded. Rev. Wright read for the lesson, Eph. 4.12. His text was from St. John, 2025. The subject was, "The Master has come." It was a soul-stirring sermon in which the deaths, birth and resurrection of Lazarus, was most beautifully portrayed. The choir very touchingly sang "God will take care of me." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Amazing Sight the Savior stands." He tenderly invited those who felt the need of prayer to the mercy seat. A large crowd bowed and prayer was offered. Our services are always benecial, so come at any time. St. Zion Dots. After a successful week of revival services we are now prepared to call the public's attention to our baptism which will take place to-morrow just after the early prayer meeting. The converts ready for baptism number twelve. Our services will probably close to-morrow night. Services have been conducted only by the pastor, deacons and missionary sisters. At 11 a. m., to-morrow a sermon will be preached for the strengthening of the converts. At 3:30 p.m., the converts will receive the right hand of fellow-ship after which the communion will be administered unto them by the pastor. Visiting friends and the public are invited to these services. St. James A. M. E. Church Sunday morning at 11:30 o'clock was preaching by Rev. Mr. Mason who discussed the dispensation of the three ages and also the three worlds. At 3:30 p. m. was Sunday school, with a very large attendance. 7 p. m. was Allen Christian Endeavor League meeting, one of the most interesting services of the day, and at 8 p. m. was preaching by the prstor. His text was found in the 3rd chapter and the 1st to the 11th verse of Revelation. He preached a splendid sermon. On Monday night were moving pictures given for the benefit of Missionaries. On Tuesday night at 9 o'clock p. m. is regular class meeting night and on Wednesday night at 8 o'clock was teachers' meeting. A large crowd attended each service doing the week and a cordial invitation is always extend to the public. . St. Philip Dots Rev. Singleton preached at 11 a.m. and 8:15 p. m. to a large crowd. His discourse was timely and beneficial. Mesdames Booker and Walker of Indianapolis spoke at both services in the interest of the Negro race. Rev. Singleton made a flying trip to Washington, D. G. in the interest of the A. M. E. church. Our young people are practicing for a big entertainment in the near future under the leadership of Messrs John H. Law and J. H. Whitis. All members that have not paid their pledges must do so. Madam Booker addressed our Sunday school on Sunday. We are sorry to note that Mrs. Addie Davis, one of our faithful choir members is confined to her bed. The musical recital by Madam Watkins took place at St. Philip on Wednesday night, April 16th. The following services will take place on to-morrow: prayer meeting at 5:30 a. m.; preaching at 11 a. m.; Sunday school at 3 p. m.; A. C. E. League at 7 p. m.; preaching at 8:15 p. m. You are invited to these service. St. Benedicts Church Gaston and East Broad Streets Sunday April 20th, the fourth Sunday after Easter. First mass at 7 a.m. Second mass at 8 a.m. High mass and sermon at 10:30 a.m. Sunday school after the last mass. Rosary, sermon and benediction of the blessed sacrament at 8 p.m. The Catholic Boys club will meet after high mass. The Sewing Circle connected with the church had a most successful sale on Monday evening; many friends of the church visited the sale and bought various articles. The members of the circle deserve our heartiest congratulations. On Tuesday morning Mrs. M. Moses died after a long and painful illness, borne with true christian resignation. She was buried from the church on Thursday afternoon. The boys of St. Benedicts and of St. Mary's schools will take part in the races which will take place at ball the park on May 2nd. We ask our people to patronize those races and to do all in their power to make the event most successful. Monumental Church The revival is still going on and up to Tuesday night fifty six joined and the meeting is only two weeks old. Rev. J. W. English opened this week, and preached very impressively every night. Sunday was a glorious day in the church, even in Sunday school, the regular studies were suspended and the revival spirit allowed to enter into this department also. Rev. Jas. Grant preached an able sermon at eleven o'clock a.m. Rev. Townsley, the pastor, spoke at the mission in the afternoon at 3 o'clock, also administered the communion. The mission is known as Townsley's Chapel At 6 o'clock p.m., the A. C. E. League met in the regular session and a brief discussion of the topic was held. At 8 p.m., Dr. L. A. Townsley, the pastor, preached a beautiful sermon. Remember the revival continues through out the month, and you are welcome each night. Services to-morrow: prayer meeting 5:30 a.m., Sunday school 9:30 a.m., preaching 11 a.m., and 8 p.m., A. C. E. League 6 o'clock p.m. St. Paul C. M. E. Church The 43rd anniversary of the church closed under the most promising prospects. Rev. G. W. Taylor, P. E., Savannah district, was with us through the week and added much to the success of the rally. Bishop L. H. Holsy, D. D., of Atlanta was a great source of inspiration. He preached last Sunday at 11:30 a. m. to the satisfaction of a representative audience. At night Rev. G. W. Taylor delivered an excellent sermon. The rally closed with pleasing results. We thank the Evangelical Ministers' Union for the aid rendered and for Rev. R. H. Singleton as their representative. He delivered a beautiful sermon. The church has been organized into five divisions to work for its elevation and betterment. A great spiritual feast to-morrow. Let all the members and 'friends be present. Through Child Eyes Ellen, age three, paid her first visit to a hospital recently. Her father had undergone an operation. She had wondered where her papa was, and as she stood by his bedside she looked at him gravely. "You've got an awful big house here, papa," she said.

With truth and justice and love on my side, I should not fear to stand in a minority of one against the population of the whole globe. I would say to them: "I am the stronger. You may glory now, but I shall conquer at last."—Theodore Parker. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson III.—Second Quarter, For April 20, 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Gen. xxxiii, 1-15 Memory Verges, 10, 11—Golden Text, Eph. iv, 32—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. When Laban learned that Jacob had fied he pursued after him in anger, but God came to him in a dream by night and said unto him, "Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad" (xxxii, 24, 29, so they had only some sharp words and parted, having erected a heap of stones as a witness that neither would pass that place to do the other harm. There different names are recorded as having been given to that witness, one of which is much used: calf (Mizpah), but surely much misunderstood (xxxi, 43-55) Although no lesson has been a signed from chapter xxvii, the latter part of which is to me most profitable, the committee so gets the permission of it, and surely no teacher will overlook it. How suggestive is the first verse, "And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him!" Was ever such an unworthy man so wondrously cared for by God? He more than made up to him the loss of wages from Laban. He forbade Laban to harm him, and now, on his way to meet Esau. He sends a host of angels to still further assure him of heavenly protection, yet when he heard that Esau was coming to meet him he was greatly afraid and distressed (xxxii, 7). It would have been more honoring to God if he had said, "Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear" (Ps. xxvii, 3). His prayer in verses 9 to 12 sounds well, most of it, for he acknowledges God's mercies and pleads His promises, but his plans following his prayer do look a little like his mother's plan of helping God out, though some might consider it showing his faith by his works. Yet the various droves of flocks and herds with which he hoped to appease Ekan verse 20 hardly look like faith working fearlessly. The incident of xxxii. 24-31. also looks as if there was a great deal of Jacob instead of the Lord in the whole plan. It is with us all, as it was with him, most difficult to put off our shoes, as both Moses and Joshua were told to do, and let the Lord manage all in His own way. Yet the Lord is ever leading us to this that He may bless and use us more and more. This is a much abused story and is made by many to teach that Jacob prevailed by wrestling, but careful attention to the record will show that the Lord wrestled with Jacob to sulledge him. He resisted until his thigh was put out of joint, and then in conscious weakness he clung to the Mighty One, saying, "I will not let Thee go except Thou bless me," so it was weakness clinging to strength that prevailed. "By his strength he, had power with God—yeen, he had power over the angel and prevailed" (Hos. xii. 3, 4). His conscious weakness was the secret of his power, even as the Lord said to Paul, "My strength is made perfect in weakness" (II Cor. xii. 9). It was then that Jacob's name was changed to Israel, a name applied to him personally about fifty times and to his descendants, 2,500 times. Jacob called the name of the place "Peniel," face of God, for he realized that he had been face to face with God, Him whom we know as the Son of God; for "no man bath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father," He hath declared Him" (John 1, 18). He did not tell Jacob His name, but He did say to Manoah, the father of Samson, "It is wonderful" (Judg. xill, 18). Jacob evidently did not expect that Esan would meet him peacefully and cordially and therefore took all possible care to provide for the safety of his household, putting the most loved ones Kindermost and the handmaids and their children foremost, preceded by the various droves, saying, "If Esan come to the one company and smite it then the other company which is left shall escape" (xxxii. 8: xxxii. 1, 2). After all Jacob's fears (for he remembered well his wrong done to his brother twenty years before and the anger from which he had fled) how beautiful It is to read that "Esau ran to meet him and embraced him and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they went" (xxxiii. 4). Thus God has many surprises for us when our fears are rebuked and we find forgiveness and peace and joy where the devil had told us we would find only trouble. There is forgiveness with the Lord for all who turn to Him, and He does abundantly pardon. He, through Joseph, forgave all those cruel brethren. When first He met His disciples after they had all forsaken Him and fled He said: "Peace be unto you. * * * Why are ye troubled?" (Lu, xxiv, 36, 28). Note carefully all the brotherly kindness of this chapter and think of Him who sticketh closer than a brother. In verses 9, 11, we quote that when Esau did not wish to accept Jacob's gifts he said, "I have enough, my brother," and when Jacob pressed them upon him he also said, "I have enough." The expressions are different, however, and in Young's translation the former is, "I have abundance," and Jacob said, "I have all things." Jacob's word has a larger significance than Esau's. How Clouds and Fogs Differ. Clouds are bodies of moisture evaporated from the earth and again partially condensed in the upper regions of the air. Fogs differ from clouds only in one respect—they come in contact with the surface of the earth, while clouds are elevated above our heads. When the surface of the earth is warmer than the lower air the vapor of the earth, being condensed by the chill air, becomes mist or fog. But when the lower air is warmer than the earth the vapor rises through the air and becomes cloud. Fog and mist differ in this respect—that mist is a fine rain, while fog is vapor not sufficiently condensed to allow of its precipitation in drops. Quick Change. Mrs. Brown—Is this hotel on the European plan? Mr. Brown did preoccupied tones from behind his paper—Yes, my dear. Mrs. B.—I'm not feeling hungry this morning. I think I'll merely take some coffee and rolls. Mr. B. daying asile japer—What were you asking me, my dear? On the European plan? No, it is not. Mrs. B. to waiter—You may bring me an omelet, some shad, mutton chops, with a bit of bacon, baked potatoes, rolls and coffee and afterward some griddle cakes and sirup—Harper's Magazine. "By Jingo." The term "By jingo" was many years old when it gave birth to the jingo. It was originally used as a conjurer's exclamation, "My jingo," and it appears in Motteux's translation of Rabelais published in 1594, where the French original is "par Dieu." Goldsmith also used it both in the "Vicar of Wake field" and "She Stepps to Conquer." But the ideal that jingo is short for that most respectable saint, St. Gengulphus, is one of the jocular fancies of the author of the "Ingoldsby Legends."—London Mall. Hussars Once Freebooters- Hussars were originally scarcely respectable enough to include a Prince of Wales among their numbers, for the word huscar is akin to corsair, and the first hussars were simply freebooters. As part of the regular army the hussar appeared in Hungary in 1458, when King Matthias Corvinus raised a corps of light horse under that name to fight against the Turks. The name and fame of the Hungarian hussars spread throughout Europe, and Frederick the Great was not above sending an officer to study their work. The English hussar dates from 1855, when the Seventh regiment was converted from light dragoons into hussars.—Westminster Gazette. Comgard Interact. All interest is payable annually on owner; therefore there is no such thing as simple interest in the long run. One dollar at compound interest at 1 per cent per annum will double in a little less than seventy years—to be exact, it doubles in 60.06 years. As near as we can calculate, this earth is about 3,000,000,000 years old. If it took the earth 3,000,000,000 years to grow, how much will interest grow in that time? One cent at compound interest at 1 per cent per annum for 3,000,000,000 years will amount to so much that one vigintillion balls of gold, each as large as the sun, will not then pay the interest for a billionth part of one second of time.—New York World. The Basque Language It is said that, though the Basque language, which is spoken in the Pyrenees, is one of the most difficult of all languages to acquire, the youngest child, conscious of his own thought, can express himself perfectly in it. It is averred that in vigor and word painting this is the richest of all languages. This may be partly due to the fact that nouns, pronouns and adjectives change into verbs at will and verbs may be transformed into nouns and adjectives. Every part of speech and even the letters of the alphabet can be declined like nouns, and adjectives are conjugated like verbs—Harper's Weekly. House of Commons Prison House of Commons Prison. The house of commons has its own prison for those that treat it with contempt—the clock tower of the house. It was here that Mr. Bradlaugh was committed in 1880 for refusing to obey the speaker's order to withdraw. He was liberated next day. A more real punishment was the imprisonment there of a Mr. Ward, a solicitor, in 1879 for a breach of the privileges of the house in connection with a bill. He remained there several days until a medical certificate was produced to the effect that his health was in danger through the perpetual striking of Big Ben. The commons debated whether to stop the clock or release the prisoner, and Big Ben won.—London Spectator. First Life Policy "The first life insurance policy that was ever issued is said to have been written on June 18. 15S3, and to have been for £33S 6s. Sd. on the life of a certain William Gibbons," said Archibald A. Welch in a lecture. "The policy was for one year, and the premium was 8 per cent of the sum insured; the age was unknown. It happened that Gibbons died on May 20. 15S4, well within the calendar year, but the insurers contested the claim on the ground that twelve months of twenty-eight days each had passed. The courts, however, decided against the insurers and the money had to be paid."—Exchange. A Necessity. Nell—Why do you use makeup? Delle—I haven't the cheek to do without it. Philadelphia Record.

The Invention of Wireless Guglielmo Marconi was only fifteen years old when he studied at the universities of Bologna and Padua and began his electrical researches. In the course of the next few years he began the study of, the so called Hertzian waves or electrical impulses, which travel through the air without the use of a wire. In 1895, when he was only twenty years old, his advanced knowledge on this obscure subject inspired him with the theory that these waves could be sent out and received at will, and in that year he constructed the first wireless apparatus, the efficiency of which astonished the world.—Chicago Tribune.

It is indeed gratifying to note the increasing interest now being manifested by both the students and teachers of our various public and private schools in the coming track and field day meet to be held on May 2, next, under the auspices of the Negro Business and Professional Men's Association and for the benefit of charity. Never before in the history of the schools has such unbounded enthusiasm been shown over any approaching event as is now being shown over the coming field day sports. Encouraged by such a promising outlook, the management of the coming athletic meet among the school children is seeing to it that everything will be done to make the coming races one of the greatest in the history of the south. These races, as was shown last year, are of much value to the student life of the institutions participating in them. In the first place, they encourage legitimate and well directed play among the students; in the second place, they stimulate loyalty and school; pride and in the third place they create a spirit of friendly rivalry among the schools that can but result in good. And too, not only is the shool population benefited as a before mentioned by the holding of these races but the entire community as well. The races are given for the benefit of charity. Quite a number of our people subscribe to substantial sums for the same. Hundreds of our people are paid admissions on the day of the races. Hence almost the entire community either directly or indirectly has a share in this great effort on the part of our business and professional men for the benefit of charity. As we have often said, this movement in behalf of charity by the business and professional men of our city is one worthy of commendation. It is indeed a lordly undertaking. Hoping that the signs will not fail us, we sincerely hope that on May 2nd, 1912, one of the largest "parks" ever assembled in Savannah will be found on the grounds of the Savannah Athletic Association on that day. A few more days and the doors of our institutions of learning, both public and private, will be closed for the vacation season. At that time, an army of temporary bread winners will be upon us seeking employment which will not them a sufficient sum of money to insure their return to the schools during the ensuing year. The Tribune, priding itself in the belief that a large quota of its readers are found among the students of many of our institutions of learning, takes this opportunity to say a few words to them as to summer work. It is a well known saying that "good time flies." The vacation season begins and before one can do many things, the time is at hand for a return to the schools. This has been the experience of many of us who have had to earn the money necessary to pay for our schooling. It has been our experience, that in order "to make good" during the summer, that is to have a profitable season from a financial point of view, one cannot afford to sit by idly during the early part of the vacation season and wait for work which he thinks is most congenial to him. Any work that is healthy and legitimate and is offered at the beginning of the vacation season should be accepted. It is far better to earn and save a few dollars by engaging in work, not altogether pleasing but at least legitimate, while looking for better employment, than to sit and wait for more congenial employment and lose both time and money thereby. Our advice to our young friends in school is, that they should accept the first reasonable offer given them of remunerative employment for the summer. When this is done, then "the eyes should be kept opened" for something better. And something better will come, if one proves worthy of the task before him. Our young friends in school should begin now to cast about for work for the summer. They should write the friends and former employers in regard to their employment. They should, if possible, leave school having a job to go to. If they fail in this, then they should do the next best thing as per the foregoing statements. The Tribune wishes at this early date a pleasant and profitable vacation for each one of its student readers. According to our greatest writers, "America" is another word for opportunity. The foregoing, coming as it does, from one of America's greatest men of letters is indeed worthy of more than passing notice. To the foreign serf approaching the shore line of the great American continent, as he notes the faint outline of the great statue of liberty in the harbor of our metropolis, the word America has a deep, significant meaning. It indeed means opportunity for him. It means that no longer will he be handicapped in his race for life and the pursuit of happiness by economic depression brought on by civic and industrial oppression; it means that he is in a land where he can worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience; it means that life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, the in alienable rights of man, are his; it means that he can now educate his children, go where he pleases, enjoy all of the rights of citizenship after having been duly qualified, and aspire to any office save one within the gift of the American people. To him, America is indeed another word for opportunity. It is indeed a dream, the sum of all joys. the consummation of his greatest and dearest longings. To the youth of American birth, the word America has as deep a significance. The condition in American life which makes it possible for him to rise from the humblest circumstances to the highest and most exalted position within the gift of the nation stares him even at birth in the face and impregnates him with ambition. Soon we see him rising step by step to an exalted place within the gift of the American people. As he reaches the summit, the goal of his ambition and views the distance which he came, he cannot but admit the truthfulness of the statement that America means opportunity to him. But, lot here is another picture. Here is an American youth, even American born, who cannot aspire to the highest office within the gift of his people. He is surrounded by opposition on every side. He is jim crowed; he is disfranchised; he is segregated; he is curtailed by certain statutory laws; in short, he is oppressed. The door of hope does not swing wide on its hinges to him in America. And why? Is it because he is black? This must be it. And yet, he is an American citizen, yea even American born. To him America does offer opportunity, but it is opportunity gained and not met as is: the case with others. But, despite the proscription, despite the curtailment, thank God, we are rising. We are either finding a way or making one. We shall go forward. With the great and good One on our side we are going forward, yea forward, forward, forward, educating our children, accumulating property and slowly yet surely qualifying ourselves as good citizens. Let us not lose heart at the recent misrepresentation given us from many leading quarters, but with our jaws as it were firmly set and a determination to do or die, go forward conquering and to conquer. A Linen Shower . The home of Miss Clifford S. Brown, 516 Anderson street, east, was besieged last Monday evening by a crowd of friends who presented her with a linen shower, on the eve of her marriage to the Rev. Wm. L. Cash, which took place last Wednesday evening. The occasion was a very lively one and those in the party had a very enjoyable time. Still at the Old Stand By the appearance of a local item in last week's issue of The Tribune in which information to the effect that Miss Florence Williams left the city to spend the summer in New York, many persons got the impression that Mme Florence Williams had left town. This is a mistake as the lady who left for New York is in no way related to Madam Williams, the hair culturist, who is still conducting her business at the same old,stand, 719 West Broad Street. M.

National League Offers Fellowships Opportunites Furnished for Promising Candidates in Social Work. In order to enable promising candidates, who wish to make social service a life work to secure good training and practical experience for such work, the National League On Urban Conditions among Negroes has made provision for two classes of fellowships; (1) For executive supervision; (2) For training in institutional management. These fellowships are open to those who have made a definite declaration to engage in social work of some form approved by the Executive Board of the League. Such workers include secretaries of industrial, betterment organizations, recreation and play ground supervisors, superintendents and managers of orphan asylums, day nurseries, probation secretaries and executive in similar line of social betterment. Candidates are limited to those who have graduated from a college of good standing or have had an equivalent. The fellows get their study and experience in New York City, studying at the New York school of Philanthropy with privileges of some courses at Columbia University and engaging in practical social service activities under the auspices of the National League and in connection with the several agencies of the city. The fellowships in executive supervision afford a cash stipend sufficient to cover for a period of ten months the necessary living expenses in New York City. Tuition is made as a loan. The fellowships in institutional management have been in co-operation with the New York Colorieu Orphan Asylum where the fellow resides and in which he spends that part of his time given to practical experience. The course of training at the Asylum is so arranged that he gets practical experience in the management of all parts of the institution, from the kitchen and laundry to the office and in the receiving and placing-out of children. These fellowships furnish tuition, one-half of which is made as a loan without interest or time limit, and one-half paid outright, with sufficient cash to pay car-fares incident to study and work. For applications and further conditions of the fellowships, those interested should write Dr. George E. Haynes, National League On Urban Conditions, Among Negroes, 281 Fourth Avenue, New York City. Civic League to Meet The Negro Civic Improvement League will hold an important meeting next Friday night at 8 o'clock at The Tribune Building. Card of Thanks Mrs. E. J.

For years there sat simultaneously in the Melbourne parliament Mr. Morton King, an eminent tragedian, and Mr. George Coppin, a no less distinguished comedian, the "Australian Toole," as he was called. With himself in the title role, Mr. King organized a performance of "Hamlet," in which every male character was enacted by an M. P. It netted £1,000 for the Melbourne hospital—London Mall. No Nepalese Old Maids. One must go to Nepal to break the record for early marriages, for there every girl is married in infancy. But, then, the bridegroom is not very terrible.

The fate of the fruit being always unknown, every girl is thus spared the disgrace of becoming a widow, while at the same time a second husband is beneficently allowed to her later on.—London Standard.

Turner 1615 Vine St. A Temple Made From a Single Stone. Mayalipmam, India, has seven of the most remarkable temples in the world, each of these unique places of worship having been fashioned from solid granite bowlers. Some idea of their size and the task of chiseling out the interior may be gleaned from the fact that the smallest of the seven is twenty-four feet high, seventeen feet long and twelve feet wide. Travelers who have carefully examined them are of the opinion that it took centuries of work to carve these graceful edifices from native rock. The Bookplate. An ex libris, or bookplate, is a small piece of paper whereon is printed the owner's name and pasted on the inside cover of a book—in other words, it is a printed slip to denote the ownership of books. A proper ex libris should have, first of all, the name, boldly and plainly printed, and a space left for the number of volumes contained in the library; then, to make it more interesting and personal, some decorative device of the owner's peculiar and individual choice as well as some favorite motto, if desired. In Europe those who have the right use family crests or armorial bearings for their ex libris. A Curious Notice. This curious official notice was once published in Germany: "At the request of Herr Wilhelm Leigson of Innsbruck the seaman, Johan Leigson, who was drowned in May, 1869, on a journey from Stockholm to Hamburg in the Kaiser Friedrich, is hereby called upon by the courts, to appear and report himself on or before April 1, 1881, under pain of being declared dead." Matches. The match industry produces seven matcha a day for each man, woman and child in the world. A Fatal Advertisement. Vestris, the great dancing master, died at eighty-three, and it was said he would have lived till a hundred but for a sudden and mortal blow in the shape of an advertisement. One day he asked for a newspaper, probably for the first time in his life. Scarcely had he opened the sheet when his eyes lighted upon the following: "Wanted—A professor of dancing at Calcutta. Must be a skillful chlropodist at the same time." He took to his bed and never left it again alive.

The local colored people observed yesterday as the anniversary of the day of freedom, although Emancipation Day is celebrated on January 1st of each year. In observance of this day members of the local lodges paraded the streets and held exercises at the Fifth Street Baptist church, colored, yesterday afternoon. The procession assembled at the "Good Samaritan" Hall, on corner of Grace and Harrison streets, and formed a line of march and paraded to the Fifth Street church where appropriate services were held, and Dr. J. H. Bugg, colored, was the speaker of the occasion He made an address that was of interest to the colored folks and tended to give them a moral awakening. He impressed upon them the importance of good citizenship, and of conducting the details of their every day life honestly and with their best efforts. After the services at the church they formed in line again, and with the "Good Samaritan" band following a body of horsemen, the rest bringing up the rear, marched down Maine street and back to the lodge where they disbanded. At the meeting at the church a vote of thanks was extended to Mayor Smith for the use of the streets, and to the business men for allowing their colored employees a half holiday.—The News. Old Folks and Orphan Home Contributions Sunday is the day for the churches to respond to the appeal for aid sent out by the Old folks and Orphan Home. As the cause is such a worthy one it is hoped that a very generous collection will be taken up. Later it is the intention of the society to appeal to the city at large. A generous collection from the present appeal will greatly strengthen our standing, and may impel others to lend a helping hand. Should it be contrary to the policy of any church to take up such a collection the members may contribute as individuals. A Thrilling Mystery Story A thrilling story the authorship of which is wrapped in myster, begins in the 24-page illustrated Magazine supplement of the New York World on Sunday, April 20th. It is called "The Los Million," written by Winthrop Alden, but it is, pretty generally, understood in literary circles that this name is merely a nom de plume for a famous writer whose work has been in quite other channels. "The lost Million" is a story full of incident and action and should be read by all. Color Line in Bar Association (Boston Herald) $ ^{6} $ The action of the American Bar Association in passing a resolution declaring that it "has never been contemplated that members of the Colored race should become members of this association," is criticised in a letter sent to the members of the association by Moorfield Storey. "In my judgment the statement in the resolution is unwarranted and casts an unmerited aspersion upon the great lawyers who founded the association," writes Storey. "Such inquiry as I have been able to make among those who took part in the formation of the association satisfied me that idea of excluding Colored men from membership was not even suggested. Had any such distinction found a place in the constitution of the association it never would have reached its present position of influence. "When the constitution of the bar association was framed the civil war was too fresh in men's memories and the words of Lincoln at Gettysburg were two well remembered to make it possible to insert in its constitution such a discrimination as is made by the resolution under discussion."

The Bull Moose party ran a poor third, in sharp contrast to the 62,000 plurality Roosevelt had over Wilson.

Pearson, State College. 1 MRS. J. PIERPONT MORGAN. Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan, widow of the financier, is now to be classed with Mrs. Russell Sage, Mrs. E. H. Harriman and Mrs. Robert Goelet among the richest widows of America and possibly of the world. The public has known little of this very charming woman who has cared absolutely nothing for society with a capital S. She has always had an antipathy for the cameram and not long ago informed a presumptuous reporter with photographic equipment that she would break his camera if he attempted to take her picture. A smile accompanied her remark, however, and she said it in a kindly way. It was while discussing this phase of newspaper work that Mrs. Morgan spoke of the unsought advertisements associated with the philanthropic enterprises of her daughter, Miss Anne Tracy Morgan. Mrs. Morgan is an ardent antisuffragist. Her conversion took place several years ago after spending a week in Colorado and seeing some conditions of which she disapproved. They were due, she was told, to the enfranchisement of women. J. P. Morgan was twice married. The present Mrs. Morgan, who was Frances Louise Tracy, daughter of Charles Tracy, one of New York's leading lawyers in the seventies, was the magnate's second wife. His first wife, Miss Sturgis, lived only one year after their marriage. The Morgan house, at the corner of Madison avenue and East Thirty-sixth street, New York city, is notable because of the attractive gardens lying between it and the home of J. P. Morgan, Jr., on East Thirty-seventh street. Including the Morgan building which houses the Morgan private library and art treasures, this is one of the most attractive group of private residences in the heart of the city. The favorite home of Mrs. Morgan, however, is Cragston, the country estate, of the Morgan family at Highland Falls, N. Y. Whenever Mr. and Mrs. Morgan sailed abroad hampers of the things produced there were sent to the ship. The Morgan family consists of a son and three daughters. Two of the latter are married, one being the wife of Herbert L. Satterlee; the other is Mrs. William Plerson Hamilton. The youngest daughter, Miss Anne Tracy Morgan, has been reported engaged to be married almost as often as Miss Elkins. To a friend not long ago Miss Morgan said: "I have not yet met a man whose wife I'd rather be than the daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan." The New Arm Bouquets. With the advent of the new dances, the turkey trot, the tango and high school glide, the corsage bouquet has become almost an impossibility, yet the debutants and dancing set must have flowers to complete their costumes. Of course no one will wear artificial flowers, where there is the slightest possible way of wearing natural ones, so the up to date florists have substituted for the corsage bouquet the flower spray or arm bouquet. The bouquets are made of sweet peas, violets, orchids, roses—in fact; most any of the seasonable flowers can be used. These are tied with ribbons to the arm of the wearer and are both practical and pretty. Ida Tarbell a Judge Announcement was made recently by the national association opposed to woman suffrage that Miss Ida M. Tarbell, Mrs. Kate Douglas Wiggin and Miss Jeannette Leonard Glider are the judges selected to decide what two women out of all those in the United States can set down within 500 words the best argument against woman suffrage and win the two $100 prizes offered for such essay. One prize is to go to the best argument submitted by any girl or woman from the city and the other to the best argument from the country. Only women are allowed to compete.

You will see issuing from the walls of the same college—nay, sometimes from the bosom of the same family—two young men of whom the one shall be admitted to be a genius of high order, the other scarcely above the point of mediocrity, yet you shall see the genius sinking and perishing in poverty, obscurity and wretchedness, while, on the other hand, you shall observe the mediocre plodding his slow but sure way up the hill of life, gaining steadfast footing at every step and mounting at length to eninence and distinction, an ornament to his family, a blessing to his country. Now, whose work is this? Manifestly their own—William Wirt. Wetting an Actor. Even water has its substitute on the stage. This is not water for drinking, however, but for garments where an effect of being wet is wanted. An actor might come upon the stage actually wet to the skin in real water, and aslide from his dripping hair he would not look wet. To make an actor look actually wet a great quantity of vaseline is rubbed over his clothes, when, with hair dripping wet and the lights reflected upon the vaseline on his clothes, he has every appearance of having just been fished out of the river or ocean or whatever particular body of water he is supposed to have fallen or been thrown into.-New York American. A Calendar. To the modern world a calendar is merely a harmless necessary reminder of weeks and days to be hung up on New Year's day and consulted in dating letters throughout the year. It has no such mournful sound as "calendarum" had for the ancient Romans. The original calendar of their times was the money lender's account book, so called because interest was due from the debtor on the calends, or first day of each month. Seneca speaks of calendar as a word invented on account of human greed. Liberty Bell's Last Real On the morning of June 8, 1835, the Liberty bell, which for a century had been Philadelphia's greatest instrument for showing joy or grief, was being toled for Chief Justice John Marshall. On that occasion it was badly cracked. But, broken as it was, the bell was afterward rung on great occasions, although the tones were but sorry reminders of the once powerful sound. So it happened that on Washington's birthday, 1843, the old bell was once again toled in joy. At that time, however, the previous crack became so wide that the tones were completely broken. It was never rung again after that day. -Philadelphia Ledger. A reader of these notes who for several years past has been enjoying his own home cured hams and bacon gives the writer the following recipe, which he uses in preparing them: As soon as the heat is gone from the fresh killed carcass it is cut up into the desired sized pieces and dry pickled in the following mixture: For 700 pounds of meat he takes sixteen quarts of barrel salt, one and one-half pounds of black pepper, half a dollar's worth of brown sugar and three ounces of saltpeter. This mixture should be thoroughly stirred until all the ingredients are well mixed. He first places a coating of the dressing on the slanting table where the meat is to remain during the pickling process. Into the surface of each piece the mixture is thoroughly rubbed, particularly into the cut surface and those close to the bones. After being rubbed the pieces are placed on the table referred to. The hams are placed separately, and the side pieces intended for bacon are cored up, with layers of the preservative between. From seven to eight days are required to properly pickle the bacon, and from eleven to fourteen days are needed for the hams. If parts become uncovered during the pickling process barrel salt may be used to cover them. In smoking the meats the time required varies for the hams and bacon and whether one wishes the meat lightly or heavily smoked. On being taken from the smokethouse the pieces of meat are placed in unwashed flour sacks, so the sack will hang below the meat, and they will keep in this way for years. Our friend says this home cured meat is so good that it makes his mouth water every time he smells it frying. TESTING GRASS SEED. A simple way to test one's own grass seed is to take a good sized plate and on this lay a piece of blotting paper or muslin. One should then count out on this 100 seeds of the grass seed to be tested. Directly over the seed lay another piece of muslin. The cloths should then be moistened and the testing outfit given a covering, preferably another good sized plate. The seed should be kept moist during the germinating period, which is about five days, the container being put where the temperature will run 60 degrees F. or above. To give satisfactory results in the field the test of the seed should show a germination per cent of at least 90. One may save much time and annoyance and often avoid the danger of losing a crop of onions in the fall by testing the black seed onions in the same way. This is particularly true if the seed has been held over from the preceding year or has been bought at a bargain counter price of some Cheap John seed house. KAFFIR CORN AND PEANUTS. J H. M. Cottrell, agricultural extension expert in charge of the Rock Island demonstration trains that are being run over its lines in Oklahoma and Texas, recently made the statement in one of his addresses that if the people of Oklahoma would sow 3,000,000 acres of Kaffir corn and 200,000 acres of Spanish peanuts during the present year prosperity would be insured for every resident in the state. He referred to the fact that in a series of tests with Kaffir corn and common corn conducted by the Oklahoma experiment station the former cereal outyielded the latter more than two and a half times and in several seasons yielded heavily when corn was a total failure. The Spanish peanuts yield from thirty to sixty bushels per acre, while the hay that can be made from the tops often pays for handling the crop. PROFITABLE FARMING. Three farmers whose cases have come to the writer's attention at random during the past ten days have returned from market carrying checks for $1,900, $4,000 and $5,000 for shipments of hogs and cattle sold. These amounts are not given because they are in any sense extraordinary, but because they do make plain that the business of raising stock is a profitable one. These instances cited are among tens of thousands of others like them. They are simply an index of the splendid resources and wealth of the country and of the brains and thrift of the hardy folk who till its soil and tend its myriad flocks. These checks mean more land perhaps, new machinery for the outdoor work, better educational advantages for the boys and girls and many conveniences and comforts for the home. THE EGG LAYING CONTEST. The pens of White Leghorns belonging to the Englishman, Thomas Barron, entered at the Missouri and Connecticut international-egg laying contests, are still keeping a wide margin ahead of their nearest competitors. In the contest at Storrs college, Connecticut, the English pen had a record of 476 eggs at the end of ten weeks, while second and third places were held with scores of 384 and 340 eggs by two pens of Silver Wyandottes from Illinois and Iowa, respectively Black Orpingtons, Barred Plymouth Rocks and Black Langshans hold fourth, fifth and sixth places in the contest, in the order named. Two of these English White Leghorns hold first and second places in the individual record with scores of sixty-three and sixty-two, respectively. J. C.

Among the Masons You should be able and willing to impart masonic instruction, as well as to receive it. Masonry's record is a source of pride and pleasure to all lovers of humanity. Our lives should tally with our professions.—Squire and Compasses. RATHER GIVE THAN RECEIVE Selfishness is one of the most prevalent yet one of the most despised trait of human nature. It is to be regretted that when Masons are "delighted to honor" one of their kind by elevation to important positions of trust, that the act of elevating them does not eliminate or destroy the selfishness of the brother so honored, but it seldom has that much desired results. However, the Masonic institution, by its teachings, does destroy selfishness and has caused many men to become real benefactors to the society and to the community. —Orphan's Home. Some day when the cloud of prejudice has been dispelled by the searching-light of truth, the world will honor Masonry for its heroic service to freedom of thought and the liberty of faith. No part of its ministry has been more noble, no principle of its teaching has been more precious than its age-long and unwavering demand for the right and duty of every soul to seek that light by which no man was ever injured, and that truth which makes men free. Down through the ages—often when the highest crime was murder, but thinking, and when human conscience was dragged as a slave at the wheel of the ecclesiastical chariot—always and everywhere, Masonry has stood for the right of the soul to know the truth, and to look up unhidden from the lap of earth into the face of Him in those great hand it stands. Not freedom from faith but freedom of faith, has been, the watchword, on the ground that as despotism is the prolific source of skepticism.—Rev. Joseph Fort. Newton, Iowa Freemasonry has been so often defined as a "system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols," that were the thought not so beautifully expressed the definition would have been long ago rejected as being too narrow. Its allegories and symbols are characteristic, but Freemasonry is more than a system of morality. The ray of light when passed through a prism is divided into its separate colors —so Freemasonry when dissected and analyzed most contain in its ceremonies symbols and its allegories, the elements of truth, all truth, or be false to its claims and pretentions. Operative masonry is the art of erecting and adorning structures. Speculative, or freemasonry, is the art of building, adorning and improving the soul and mind; the art of building up character.—Ex. Pythian Echoes. Dear Editor:—Nearly a quarter of a century ago, Sir Knight Blocker, of Augusta, Ga., came to our proud city calmly nestling amidst the salubrious atmosphere of the deep blue sea, and presented to me and a few others the establishing of the splendid Pythian order which after surviving the most crucial ordeal of racial spite and venom today flourishes, as a green bay tree of beautiful women of sterling virtue and magnificent womanhood, in strong, brave men, of invulnerable characters, handsome in physique, gigantic, not only in brawn but also herculean in brain; veritable assets and blessings to Ethiopia's proud sons and entrancing daughters of America and other lands. Home pride caused Sir Knight Blocker to work up and set the first K. of P lodge in Augusta, Fidelity Lodge, and Savannah came next. Such distinguished men as the "Black Spurgeon," Christian gentleman, profound scholar, traveler, lecturer, orator and hero of unparalleled race pride came within the hospitable gates of our Forest City and between the twilight hours and beautiful dawn of a new day set us up, made us, created us brave Knights, but we had no name or number and so they said, "Your number shall be No. 2, K of P," and I said, "Let the name be Crescent, a fac-simile of the beautiful crescent moon, queen of the night increasing in brilliancy and utility, growing in men, women and children of sweet innocency until in its service of friendship, charity and benevolence it would cover all Savannah, yea, permeate all Georgia. Me think the first lodge K. of P. of Augusta might be styled "father" and Crescent No. 2 of Savannah prolific Medonna of Georgia's Pythian and Caiantheans, for every man you meet throughout Georgia is a Pythian. The order in Georgia counts its braves by the thousands, and its money and lands by the thousands, notwithstanding the fact that some of the weak-knee left the ranks when the enemies hurled their false javelins of spite and venom at our vitals. Thank God, however, that victory proudly perched herself upon our proud Pythian banner borne heavenward in the thick of the-fight by the now sainted Chas. D. Creswell, whose Pythian heroism and bravery, like that evinced at the historic pass of Thermopylee. Sleep on brave Creswill until the resurrection bright morn, when the Pythians' legions shall greet thee at your phenomenal crowning. Your mantle still proudly rest upon the broad shoulders of your faithful, true and tried Hutto, around whom the truest and bravest Pythians have and are still rallying. Sir Knight Gadsden while on his installing tour recommended that the lodges institute friendly rivalry and get a dispensation and endeavor to build up the weak places in the Order and the now existing lodges instead of instituting new and weak lodges. Crescent accepted the recommendation and put in a rally for fresh blood in the Crescent's veins. First, I gave to the Order and the especial lodge that I loved most, my own son, then, went among some of the most healthy, moral, intellectual and Christian of my friends and told them that Pythianism was a good thing and they ought to enjoy its benefits. Thirty-two of my friends asked to take their applications into Crescent. I did so and 38 were passed upon favorably and initiated between the twilight of April 11th and the balmy dawn of April 12th. Like all good honest men, we went home early, wiser, braver and better, mea, truer Christians, truer husbands, nobler citizens, thirty-eight more are on the way to our castle. Our name is Crescent and under the brave leadership of the valiant, shrewd, fearless, but gentle, kind and just A. B. Singfield, Crescent shall ever be our name. And now what else? Why that Eythian heroine, that noble woman and tireless worker for the uplift of the race, and especially the womanhood of the race, Mrs. R. L. Barnes, Grand Worthy Counsellor of that splendid branch, the celebrated Court of Calanthe, Kuights of Pythias, has authorized me to help work up a new court and I am on the job; in tour weeks the court will be ready.

Perpetual Pensions Perpetual pensions are to be found in France as well as in England. On Aug. 21, 1755, the dauphin, son of Louis XV., when out rabbiting accidentally shot Yves de la Boissière, one of his suit. As a compensation a pension of £240 was conferred on Boissiere, with remainder to his heirs in perpetuity. Despite the many changes in the form of government, this pension has been paid ever since, and no member of the budget committee has ever suggested stopping it. Moths and Butterflies. Some moths look very much like butterflies, but there are two ways in which you can always tell the one from the other. Each has little slender feelers growing from the head, but the butterfly's feelers, or antennae, as they are called, have knobs on the ends. The antennae of the moth sometimes have tiny feathers on them and sometimes little spires, but they are never knobbed. Then, too, in alighting the butterfly always holds her wings erect, while the moth's droop or are nearly flat. Bright and Lively. An organist with a sense of humor is still chuckling about an announcement that was made on a Sunday morning by his pastor in a Fifth avenue church. The pastor said. "I hope that every one will come to our lively, bright and inspiring service this evening; subject, 'Watching a man die.'" -New York Sun. Her Chilly Retart The late Dr. — of Malden, after pouring forth the story of his undying love in the most touching manner for over an hour to a young woman whom he hoped would become his fourth wife, was refused the second time. He started for the door; but, looking around, he said in a most thunderous tone, "By heavens, you are the coldest woman I ever saw!" The young woman looked up and answered sweetly: "Oh, no. doctor. You have seen three colder than I."—Boston Herald. Not Wasted. Mother—Johnny, did you take your cough medicine regularly in school, as I told you? Johnny—No'm.

As dalymen it is necessary for us to pause and consider the farm itself and how we can best produce the necessary feeds before we even come to the care and keeping of the dairy cow herself, writes H. O. Daniels. Following is a brief history of crop and soil conditions upon our Connecticut farm: Twenty-four years ago this farm did not produce hay enough to feed five cows, a yoke of oven and one horse. Hay had to be purchased each spring. Upon attending farmers' meetings interest was awakened, and we began to study the analysis of feeds and fertilizers.

MONROE & COMPANY The illustration shows the udder of a dairy cow that comes near to the ideal. It belongs to Valessa Scott II, a pure bred Holstein, the first cow in the world to produce 40 pounds of butter in one week. Her record is 103.6 pounds of milk, 5.95 butter fat in one day; seven days, 60.1 milk, 41.57 butter fat; thirty days, 233.3 milk, 165.48 butter fat. Valessa Scott II is owned by Bernhard Meier, Finderne stock farms, Finderne, N. J. She has a daughter, Valessa Ormsby De Kol, who has a two-year-old record of 23.73 pounds of butter in seven days. C. W. SMALL, D. P. A. TICKET OFFICE 10 BROUGHTON STREET WEST So we bought standing grass and later on heard about the slip and put one in, growing the corn necessary to fill it. We were the laughing stock of all the neighbors, but with silage we made more milk than before and have since added more silos until we have today 375 tons capacity and plant thirty-five acres to corn. We begin by raising corn year after year on the same land. It was near the barn, and we did not want to hand the fodder so far, but after a time we found we were not getting as good results. A man who visited us suggested that we sow clover on the corn land and raise our corn somewhere else, and we finally decided to do it. We have tried clover for ensilage, and it is even better for feeding than when made into hay, especially the clover rowen or second crop. If the weather is wet and the clover hay cannot be cured put it in the silo. Clover silage will tide you over July and August, when the pastures dry up and the most critical period of milk production is at hand.

Wilson, 719 West Broad St, Licensed Embalmer Phone 232 Twenty loads of stable manure on clover sod make an excellent foundation for the corn crop, and such sod will raise twenty-five tons of corn to the acre. After harvesting the corn we do not touch the land in the fall if the ground is level; if hilly we sow winter rye. We do not plow the land in the spring, but cut it all up with a cutaway harrow and sow two bushels oats, six quarts red clover, two quarts alsike and three quarts timothy with a drill. Lime is also used before sowing the seed and sown with a drill. This gives us in the second year a crop of oat hay which is fully as good for milk production as mixed hay and a second crop of clover. Colored Millinery Store 464 WEST BROAD ST The third year we have a solid crop of clover. Clover is too solid a crop to go into the silo alone. It has not sugar enough in it to preserve it well, and we like to have some timothy in it, as that supplies the necessary sugar and supplements what the clover lacks. This clover sod is used for our corn crop, and in this way we plow up the entire tillable area every three years. Remove the Horns.

Horns on a dairy cow are a common source of serious injury, especially toudders belonging to other cows in the herd. Unless the cow is to be used for show ring purposes, by all means remove her horns. This is most successfully done when she is a calf under three days of age. Simply clip away the hair surrounding the small buttons that are the future horns and rub on caustic potash until the skin bleeds slightly. If the work is properly done a dent can be felt in the skull after a few days, and no horns will ever develop. Dehorning of grown animals should be done in fall or winter, when there are no flies to bother the wound.—Farm Press. WHOLESALE AND RETAIL Fruit And Commission Merchant 302 ST.
