1 VOLUME XXVIII Over 4000 Attend Children's Races GREATEST AFFAIR OF KIND EVER HELD IN GEORGIA Three Hundred Fifty Boys Competed—West Broad Street School Carried Off Honors—Ticket Contest Won by Miss Mabel Hemby—Music Very Inspiring The Negro school children's races which were "pulled off" at the baseball park on Friday afternoon, a week ago, by the Negro Business and Professional Men's Association were the most successful athletic events ever held in this city or state by Negroes. The crowd was enormous, there being about 4200 persons present. On the afternoon of the races the baseball park was the objective point of hundreds of persons who had never before even dreamed of journeying out so far to witness an athletic contest of any sort whatever. From about 12 o'clock in the afternoon until long after the hour set for the races to begin the street cars were crowded with persons, old and young, eager to get out to the park to cheer on their respective favorites Business houses on the west and east sides which generally do a large business between 2 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon were practically empty and many of them seeing the needlessness of keeping on their usual large force of clerks and porters allowed them to have few hours off to attend the races. And the little boys and girls, why they never had such a time in all their lives. They were in complete possession of the grand stand and when their favorites flashed across the tape winners the nearly went into histeries. The schools were all seperated in grand stand, each school having its own section, and the way they cheered would have done credit to the largest colleges in the land. Even the older folks in the grand stand who have always found so much to criticise when they were told of the utter abandonment of all formality at athletic events like this, seemed to throw aside their objections and were really seen to cheer more vociferously than even the younger folks. The races were all very successfully run. The most spectacular ofcourse being the two hurdle races and the running high jump. The sprinting contests were all hard fought. The highest individual point scored in the major events was Jesse Sherman. West Broad, with R Erwin of East Broad only one-third of a point behind. The city championship among the schools was won by the West Broad street school with 16 points, while the East Broad, second, had 12; Maple 5, Beach 2 and Catholic 3 and Swangin 6. The awarding of the prizes which took place Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the Pekin Theatre was witnessed by a packed house, and as each winner was called to the stage the house cheered lustily. The prizes were presented by The Savannah Tribune Two New Contributors to Races During the week two new contributions were received by the soliciting committee of the Negro Business and Professional Men's Association which fostered the school children's races. They were Mrs. M. Dullblack $1.00; Mr. S. S. McFall $5.00. Aside from the few short addresses made at the theatre the most enjoyable feature of the exercises was the excellent selections rendered by the Pekin Orchestra. The disqualifying of five winners, one from the Haven Home who was not on the original entrance list, and four from the Maple street school on account of being above the age limit occasioned much discussion, but the judges unanimously voted to enforce the runs strictly when the matter was presented before them. The ticket selling contest was won by the West Broad street school, East Broad second, Peach Institute third. The following are the efforts and winnings: Potato Race, 7 to 10 years-First, H.

B. B. church on Wednesday night, May 28th, at 8:30 o'clock, thus gathering the forces of the east and west sides. Complete and interesting programs have been arranged for both rallies with well known speakers on each. It will be a treat to all loves of education, and the public is urged to attend. pression. Webster defines the term "Negro" us "an African black." There are millions of us who are not Africans neither are we black; there are millions of us who are black but not Africans. To merely refer to us as "colored" means nothing more than when you mention that a Caucausian is "white" Japanese, Indians and Chinese are "colored." Source of our race papers refer to us as "Afro-Americans," refusing to employ the term "Negro" because of the discrimination of the white press to capitalize the "N" in Negro. In the daily press you frequently read an article written something like this: "Every race was represented at the conference held at Carnegie Lyceum Tuesday evening. The Indian, Japanese, Italian, Chinese and negro were much in evidence." What rank injustice to the Negro to use a lower case "n" in this instance. Some of the leading magazines and a few daily papers capitalize the "N" in Negro, and I feel certain that if the influential papers connected with the Associated Press would do likewise they would materially aid in a struggling people in their efforts to advance and become a credit to themselves and to the Nation. Why not refer to the term "Negro" as a race of people and not with regard to the color of one's skin. Then the term would embrace blacks, mulattoes and all of mixed parentage; for there are millions who are of various shades of brown; there are millions who are mulattoes and near mulattoes, and there are thousands who are as white as any Caucasian. To classify these people as black would be as improper as to classify the whites as blacks. Green is not red, nor can you make brown or yellow black. But in the grouping you can put the black, mulatto near mulatto and near white under one head—Negro. As the matter now stand, a mulatto is spoken of as a "negro." meaning a black person, which is incongruous. The question of a Negro's political rights or any other question regarding my race over which the Associated Press are apt to disagree should not be confused with the question I respectfully submit for your kindly consideration. In the Latin countries, black is black, white is white, yellow is yellow and brown is brown, which to me seems the proper manner of classification. Why should not the same method of classification as to colors obtain in this country. Along with the matter of capitalizing the "N" in Negro I respectfully beg of you to discontinue the use of the obnoxious term "negress," which is vulgar and a disparagement on the women of my race. Thanking you for your indulgence, I am, Respectfully yours, (Signed) Lester A. Walton, Managing Editor, New York Age. Wants Letter "N" Capitalized LESTER A. WALTON WRITES LETTER TOTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS Directors Are Favorable—Issue Instructions That Copy of Letter be Sent to 900 Papers Connected—Objects to Term "Negress." [New York Age, May 1, 1913.] At the annual session of the Associated Press, held last week in New York City, favorable consideration was given by the Board of Directors to a letter written by Lester A. Walton of The Age, asking that the papers connected with the Associated Press capitalize the "N" in Negro and discontinue the use of the obnoxious term "negress" This week Frederick Roy Martin of the Associated Press, sent to nine hundred papers a copy of Mr. Walton's letter, acting on instructions given by the Board of Directors. Mr. Walton's letter was introduced at the meeting of the Associated Press at the instance of Samuel Bowles, publisher of the Springfield Republican, one of the leading papers published, and which is very friendly toward the Negro. The following letter was received by Mr. Walton last Friday from Mr. Bowles: Mr. Letter A. Walton: Mr. Lester A. Walton, Managing Editor of The Age. My Dear Sir: "Referring to your favor of the 20th, I presented your letter, through the Secretary, to the Board of Directors of the Associated Press at their meeting in New York yesterday. I think you have already learned from the assistant secretary, Mr. Frederick Roy Martin, how well the letter was received and how favorably the comments were. Mr. Martin advises me that he has arranged for the printing of 900 copies of the letter, which are to be sent to all members of the association. Yours very truly, New York City, April 21, 1913. To the Associated Press. Gentlemen:—There has been a genealogical mixup relative to the Negro population of the United States, due to the confusing methods employed by the United States Census Bureau in its classification of the members of my race. The Census Bureau in taking the last census defined as Negroes those who were black. As the majority of my people are not black, in making out the census papers submitted by the enumerators thousands classed themselves either as mulattoes or of mixed parentage. Others who were not black classed themselves as Negroes. Now as the United States Government seems to be confused on the subject—What is a Negro?—the members of my race also find the question a complex one. I respectfully submit this important matter to the Associated Press because I feel that such a powerful medium can help clarify matters if it will thereby giving my race in this country a classification in the concrete rather than in the abstract—one which will be acceptable to all. This can be brought about by capitalizing the "N" in Negro instead of using the lower case "n" as is customary. Some argue that the term "Negro" is used only in the abstract as the terms "colored," "white" and "black." But to use the term "Negro," as an adjective, meaning black, is misleading in view of the fact that of the ten million Negroes in this country less than three millions are black. Black Americans are becoming scarcer each year, and within one hundred years it will be difficult to find a real black Negro in this country. It is not that the members of my race are ashamed of being black, far from it; for the color of one's skin does not determine character or intelligence. In many cases our darkest Negroes are the most representative. However, we do think that it is wrong to classify millions of people as black who are not thus creating a wrong im- FOR BENEFIT LOCAL EDUCATIONAL WORK St. John and First Bryan Baptist Churches will Hold Meetings—Interesting Programs arranged—Pnbbic Urged to Attend THE RACE FOR RICHES.

Johnson & Brown is a Negro baking and restaurant firm of Allenworth, California, with establishments in Allenworth and Delano. The Lexington Co-operative Association of Lexington, Kentucky, has purchased a site on which to establish a department grocery store. The stockholders of the H. G. Hill Grocery and Baking Company of Nashville, Tennessee, recently met and declared their usual two per cent, quarterly dividends on common stock. A Colored Men's Business Association is being formed in Sedalia, Missouri, to promote the "business interests, improvements and general material development of the Negroes of Sedalia." A new drug store, known as the People's Drug Store, was opened in Durham, North Carolina, on Saturday, April 19th. The store ranks among the best of its kind in Durham, regardless of race. The legislature of Missouri has appropriated $130,000 for the building and equipment of a home for incorrigible Negro girls. The home is to be located at Tipton, Missouri and $50,000 is appropriated for the first maintenance. Tayco & Company, a Negro undertaking firm of Nashville, Tennessee, is celebrating their 25th anniversary. During these 25 years the company, beginning in a very small way, has acquired Greenwood Park and Greenwood Cemetery. The colored people of Greensboro in 1900 was 4,080; it had increased to 5,710 in ten years. These 5,710 Negroes are listed as owning 688 town lots or one town lot to every eight black persons who walk the streets of Greensboro, N. C. The farmers' Improvement Society of Texas, located at Waco, is in the act of reopening an overall factory. Of the $2,000 needed to begin the plant, members of the society have already subscribed $1.920. The society has already in operation a school and a bank. An interesting study has been made of the Negro property owners of Greensboro and Guilford County, N. C. In 1900 the state auditor listed the Negro property value of the county at $203,607. In 1911 the property value of the same county was listed by the tax commissioner at $583,473, an increase of 53.6 per cent. in a little more than ten years. This tabulation omits the valuation on school, church and lodge property and as assessed valued is from 1/2 to 1/3 of real value, it is estimated that the Negroes of Guilford County are worth in fact about 1/2 millions of dollars. It Came From Boston Mrs. Hubb—I allow my husband no latchkey. He rings, and I ask who's there. Then be says, "It's I," and I open the door.

Todd, division superintendent of the road, Walter Wright, chief clerk to President Conniff, was chairman of the evening, Mr. Wright, one of Cleveland's most progressive and influential race men, has served as chief clerk and secretary to several presidents of the Nickel Plate for a number of years.—Cleveland Gazette. Discharged Because He Eat With a Colored Person. Texarkana. Ark., May 7.—Because he ate a meal with a negress servant in his home, D. A. Stephenson, principal of the High School on the Texas side of this city, was today summarily discharged. Formal charges were filed with the board of directors of the High School. Mr. Stephenson was told that if he did not appear before the board and plead in extenuation that there is no law or regulation against a white teacher eating a meal with a Negro, he could consider himself discharged. He did not appear before the board. His remark to other officials that Theodore Roosevelt had once dined with a Negro at the White House had the effect of causing the board to discharge him forthwith. Stephenson at noon today-left Texarkana for his home at Hickory, Mo. He came here last September and had recently been reelected principal of the school for another year. Church Notes FB. A. B.

If you have tried and have failed in the great art of talking then be a good listener. Every one should cultivate the habit of listening well. Jt is one of the little amenities that we are in- clined to overlook. yet It 1s one of the big factors In pleasant social inter- course. . ‘In order to be a gvod listener you must first be willing te fix your atten- tion on the conversation. If you are in the habit of dividing your uttention you are failivg. Any woman who is pretending to listen to a story and in reality is wonderiug whether the talker made her own dress or bought it in au exclusive shop is foolish in her attempt to appear polite. She in reality is very rude. . a ee ee Introductions in public are made as a matter of convenience ‘and since they xre unsolicited nee not be ree- ognized at nuy future time.

At the Table. Before the dessert-is served the crumbs should be removed from the table, using for the purpose a crumb tray and a silver scraper. A brush ts no longer considered hygienic. When tuncheon is served at a polished table a folded napkin may be used to sweep up the crumbs instead of the scraper. A good waltress always tries to antici- pate the requirements of the diners.

Dressing tables modeled on the modest muslin velled box of our grand-mothers' time have recently become popular. The modern variations, however, are fashioned on a much more ambitious scale, albeit one that can never become common, as it lends itself to so many inventions, besides the display of that personal touch which is the acme of distinction in home decoration. A new toilet table is a plain table, but upon this is hung a "petticoat" of gossamer muslin and satin. The top is a sheet of plate glass (with smooth, rounded edges, beneath which are displayed choice bits of embroidery, old lace, flower painted parchment, quaint patterned chintz or even dried rose leaves scattered over a silvery ground and pressed flat by the glass, while flat ruchings of ribbon are used to cover the tackings. Every variety of muslin is being used, with linings of satin, chintz or sateen, while knots of broche ribbon, postes of silken leaves rosebuds and gold and silver fillet lace are among the beautiful decorations used. Perhaps the most fascinating shape is one fashioned like a crescent writing table with round ends. A "skirt" of rose pink satin is tucked round the edge of the table, and over this is draped a cloud of gossamer muslin, caught up with tiny posies of forgetmenots and moss rose binds. The top is covered with tightly stretched blue moire, over which is laid an exquisite piece of embroidered lawn—in fact, all that remains of the family clothing robe. The single sheet of plate glass protects it as carefully as if it were in a case, while besides being an interesting heirloom, it contrives to pay the double debt of use and ornament. A flat ruching of pole pink satin ribbon covers the trailing. On this table stands an oblong mirror in an old Florentine gilt frame, and an elegant touch is given by a quantity shaped dull gold basket, with a high handle formed of rosettes and forgetmenots, containing a batpin cushion stuffed with potpourri.

If You Have an Old Indigo Blue Bedspread In Woven Design Use It by All Means In Your Furnishings—Delightful Color Scheme In Shell Pink. The Charm of Fish Net. Here are some suggestions for making a young girl's bedroom charming and dainty during the summer months. If you have among the bedrooms in your house an old woven bedspread of wool in indigo blue and white you can make a wonderful cushion out of blue denim, with some embroidered Japanese swallows in flight on it. The stitches can be of the long and easily worked type, and you will be surprised to find how few of them will make a dainty, airy effect in embroidering these white and gray swallows skimming across an imaginary sky of denim. If your bedspread is of cretone, with a canary tone predominating, your cushion would be a perfectly charming one made of a pale gold shade of sateen with a small spray of purple wistaria embroidered across it or else big purple chintz. To this to the chair with violet ribbon. The bedspread and cushion really give the keynote to the room in color and are very important in the scheme of furnishings. Now suppose your favorite color to be shell pink. You can carry out the scheme in a bedspread of sateen with appliques of light medals over it at intervals, and you can have cushions of the same sateen with smaller face modifiers thouon. Piston net is very "artist" asset over plain color for spread and cushions, with big self bow of ribbon the spread and one on the tie couch cushion. A wise delft pattern is lovely in cretone, and this makes a pretty blue and white spread and cushions with delft blue bows. But the most fascinating color for a spread is light green. It is airy and springlike, and the embroidered form front for the cushion is just perfect in the way of suggesting the return of buds and flowers to the woods. HOLIDAY MAKERS. Timely Tips For Vacationists That May Come In Handy. After walking in the rain it) is a good idea to lay one's boots on their sides in order that air may get to the wettest parts. If boot trees have been left at home the boots should be stuffed with newspaper, which will keep them in shape. The unacustomed hardness of the water mars the pleasure of holiday makers in some parts of the country. When rainwater is not obtainable a little borax or ammonia will prove a good softener. A canvas covered traveling trunk may be waterproofed as follows: Make up a liquor of one pound of yellow soap dissolved in a quart of hot water. Add to this three quarts of boiled oil and a quart of turpentine. Mix well together and apply two coats. When thoroughly dry apply a third coat in which about twice its weight of dark brown oxide or lampblack ground in oil has been well stirred. This may now be coated over once or twice with very hard black japan slightly thinned with turpentine or (more cheaply) with a good paint thinned with best copal varnish and turpentine. Put a few paper napkins in your bag when traveling. When your hands got dirty or sticky use a clean paper napkin to wipe them. If the railway car window is steamed and you wish to look out wipe it with one of the paper napkins. You will in this way save many ordinary handkerchiefs. If the necessary black boot polish has been left behind a cut orange dipped in a shovelful of soot from the chinney is a makeshift which can usually be turned to account in the most out of the way places. The-carbon from a kettle is just as good for the purpose as chinney soot. The Boy's Dilemma. A dear little boy With a very sad face Sat hiding away By the big fireplace. When asked why he hid He said, with a stare. "Why, can't you all see I can't combed my hair" And so there he sat Till the company went.

And straightway a patch She sewed o'er the rent; Then out to his play The little boy went. FOR YOUNG FOLKS FOR YOUNG FOLKS Campfire Girls' Movement Growing In Popularity. WORK, HEALTH AND LOVE. These Are the Watchwords of the Organization, and its Symbol Is Fire. Character Building One of the Underlying Principles—Origin of Week Day Names. Although less than a year old, the Campfire Girls have a membership of over 50,000. The important watchwords of the organization are "Work, Health and Love," and fire is its symbol, because fire has always been the center of the home. It is also a symbol of enthusiasm. Anything that is worth doing at all is worth doing well. Similar in its aims to the boy scout movement, there is no connecting whatever between the two organizations. Each ```markdown ``` CAMPFIRE GIRL IN COSTUME is working in its own way to improve the youth of the nation mentally, morally and physically. There are three degrees of Campsite Girls—the wood gatherers, the firemakers and the terch bearers. When a girl first joins she becomes a wood gatherer, and gradually as she becomes proficient in the duties imposed upon her she advances to the next higher degree. She must be able to do many useful and helpful things—there are fourteen specifications—before she is admitted to the higher-degrees. Then there are honors to be won. Indian life has furnished the models upon which the activities of the Campfire Girls are patterned. In Campfire Girl garb, informed with heads and headwear, they look like real forest mailsens. The winning of honors is shown by wearing beads of various colors. Red stands for health craft, orange for home craft. Blue is the color for nature lore, wood brown for camp craft. Green and yellow are for handcraft and business respectively. There is much in the Campfire Girls' movement that will interest the coming mathers of the nation. Days of the Week: The days of the week get their names from very, very long ago, when the Norseman, had never heard of Christianity. In those days they worshiped the sun, and Sun's day was named for it. Moon's day (Monday) was the wife of the sun and, of course, had to be honoured also. Tyrar was the god of war, and so they had Tyr's day (Tuesday), while Wednesday is Woden's day, the god of the Norseman's heaven. Thor was the god of strength, so he has Thursday. Friday is Freya's day. Freya was the Woden's wife and Thor's mother. The last of the days. Saturday, gets its name from a Roman god. Saturn, who presided over the games on a holiday called the Saturnalia, so that it is quite appropriate that our Saturday should be a holiday too.

Small Hats With Brims Are the Fashion This Season. The feature of the season in millinery is the presence of the brim, which has appeared and disappeared like a jack rabbit in the brush. For years we have been wearing all kinds of turbans and caps that had only crowns and were made to fit on the head by reason of an inner crown that held them up. If you will notice hats closely now you will see that the shapes are really smaller than they have been for decades. This does not appear to the casual observer, who feels that hats ```markdown ``` have been small for years and that the change, if any, is slight. The truth is that up until now the brimless hats were really large in size and had to be gauded or supported by a separate cornet to keep them from falling down over the nose. It is claimed by the designers that the fashion for small hats which fit the head and do not merely rest on it is due to the constant use of the motorgear by a large number of women. In Europe, where taxis are so cheap, it is not a luxury for women to ride to and from their daily errands. In America, where taxis are dearer than any other place in the world for some unknown reason, the masses of women cannot afford to ride, but they take their cue in fashion from those who do. As soon as the comfort of the tiny hat was discovered women adopted it with enthusiasm. It has its defects for it is too often chosen in its most abbreviated shapes by the woman who can least afford to wear it. A tiny, junty hat is not intended for the woman with a large, serious face or one who does not fit her hair to fit the hat. There are elements of comedy in a small hat as there never could be in a large hat. So how are they the season advances one sees evidences of the larger hat bedecked with flowers. The shape pictured is in this class carried out in matheson colored kemp with a simple wreath of big oxyed daisies as the only trimming. If one omits the streamer of back velvet that hangs at the back of the capured brim. A tailor suggests whisking a black skirt with strong coffee and ammonia to remove dirt. The skirt is first brushed. Then a fresh whisk is dipped into a capful of strong coffee mixed with a teaspoonful of ammonia, and with this the skirt is brushed. The coffee should be brushed over the skirt quickly, and the brush should not hold too much of the liquid. Ammonia, alcohol and water in equal parts form a good solution for cleaning skirts. Ammonia, of course, must be carefully used, as it damages some colors. It can be sparingly tried on an inside seam or even on a little stretch of the wrong side of the hem. If it takes out the color alcohol and water can be used instead. Naphtha is objectionable because of its clinging odor and also because a skirt cleaned with it cannot be ironed safely for many hours. When a skirt of black or other dark colored material looks shiny from much wear it can be rubbed with a solution of borax and water. This solution removes the glaze completely and can be applied whenever the shine returns Borax, of course, might, like ammonia, have a disastrous effect on some colors, so it, too, should be tried first on the wrong side of the skirt. Newer than the grab bag, usually a feature of children's parties, is the huge teapot of heavy earthenware imitating old Canton porcelain. The pot, several sizes larger than the kitchen stove's hot water kettle, has a flat lidded mouth of generous size, into which several pair of juvenile hands can be simultaneously thrust, and its plump body holds a surprising number of small favors. Its wicker handle, high and rounding, is a substantial affair, guaranteed to sustain the weight of the receptacle, and there is a long, projecting spout, from which a stream of tiny candies might easily be poured into the laps of the guests.

Space Savers. Pasteboard boxes covered with wall paper are attractive and hold all sorts of small dress accessories. These boxes, bought in an empaired frame, are expensive, but a carpenter can cheaply put together a wood frame of the desired size which can be enameled with two or three coats of white enamel and then fitted with boxes covered with paper matching that of the room where they are to stay. Labels reading "Vellis," "Gloves," "Handkerchiefs," "Neckwear," "Stockings" or any other words desired should be pasted neatly on the face of the boxes. Cleaning Pictures. Pictures are things that collect dust in a terrible way, said a housewife in Home Notes, so I wash them all over with a damp leather—the backs as well as the fronts. Dirt doesn't show on the brown paper backs, and you may think that there is none there. But just run your cloth over and you'll change your mind pretty quick, for it will come away simply coated with black. Yeah. It's a Queer World.

'Or they went off and behind our backs that we was a tryin' to show off our superiority, so at our next stop a hundred miles farther on, to the Perkinses, Henry wore his old backbout gray an' me my plain brown populin. An' they said there that we didn't not 's if they was worth dressin' up for. It is queer."—Woman's Home Companion. The Gift of Humor "A sense of humor is a fine possession. With some men, however, it goes to extremes—to ghastly extremes," said a speaker at a banquet. "I used to know in Horne Annesley a man with this excessive sense of humor. Horne said to me one morning with a grinish laugh: "I've got the greatest joke to tell you" "Well, what is it?" said I "You know," said Horace, "that I was examined I and passed for life in insurance last week: Well-ha, ha, ha! -I've been to consult a specialist this morning, and he tells me I've got an neururial disease. He gives me just one year. Ha, ha, ha!"—Exchange. The Unruly Moon. There was a certain play whereof a certain critic wrote: "At this point in act 3 the moon obscured a cloud." The copy editor took the critic to task for this. He said: "Look here. You mean a cloud obscured the moon, don't you?" "No, sir; I don't," the critic replied firmly. "These were amateur theatricals, and I mean just what I say. The moon slipped and came down over a white cloud, totally obscuring it." New Materials For Pillow Tons Moquette velours, new among pillow top fabrics, is a lovely weave of softest coloring in Persian rug designs and while a bit expensive, is reputed to wear indefinitely. Of equally attractive design and coloring are the squares of silk tapestry or silk damask that come in the various pillow sizes, and somewhat more practical looking are the tops of hand tooled leather in Indian red, Chinese blue and Japanese tea green. A new material of the launderable sort that is ideal for pillow tops and far from costly is an unfadable madras of lacy openwork weave. It comes in lovely shades of green, brown, blue, rose and gold, in two toned effects and in combinations of brown with green or rose and of pale blue with gold or violet. Linen Economy. For the woman who has no maid or who has a small apartment and does her own laundry work a great deal of labor may be saved by using paper napkins instead of linen ones when there are no guests present. The laundering of napkins takes quite a little time and care, and one might just as well have that time for a bit of rest or reading. Paper towels, too, have been made quite practical and especially where there are children will also be found a great labor saving device. VAL and very commodious quarters for the a SALESMEN Concentration. The weakest living creature by concentrating his powers on a single object can accomplish something; the strongest by dispersing his over many may fall to accomplish anything.—Carlyle. (continue from last week) A GREAT SPEECH A Beautiful Example And now, dear friends, continued the speaker, say what you may, but at last you will agree with me, that the white man sets for us many beautiful examples which we cannot afford to everlook. One of these examples is found exemplified in the industrial insurance business where he is found retired in absolute conclusions, to create and hold desirable positions only, for his own kith and kin, regardless of the amount of patronage that, as Negroes, we are giving. No give to the brilliant Ga. Mutual and other worthy Negro insurance companies of its kind, all of your insurance hereafter, as this is the only way by which you can carry out this beautiful example.

When a lynching oc: cis itis generatly assumed that ft is for the “usual crime.” but it is stated in the déspatches that the Negro lynched at Appling was charged with nothings more than disorderly conduct. “It seems that theand two other Negroes were inthe Appling’ jail ont charge of terroryzing Marti- fez, x comteunity néar Appling, by liriog their pistolsand by other Jawiess conduut.

Friday May 2nd was indeed the day of days, when the great and much talked of ficld day sports held. under the auspices of the Negro Business und Professional Men’s Association and for the benefit of charity, became a realty and when before an audience of over four thousand people, the Negro school children of Savannah extubited their prowess as athletes.

Mr, Laboring man was there with his wife and children. Grandfather and grand- ‘mother were their too with the lit- tle tots. All werethere. ‘To see anyone of importance on Friday, one had to go to the Athletic Park Yes, they were thereund with their nerves keyed to the highest ten- sion. And why? To witness the wonderful feats of brain and brawn as performed by our own boys from our city schools in competi- tion with each other. ‘Lhe entire citizenry of Savannah cannot but be unstinted in its praise of the promoters of this great event which brought so many of the good people of our race together in behalf of a common cause— Charity. and what is charity which caused such concerted action on vtr part recently? Charity is love; it 1s benevolence; itis alms- giving to the poor and needy, to the suffering. It is indeed a fact that there are manyamony us who are less fortunate than we are. Through misfortune, improvident method or otherwise, they have becomeour wrads, Some of these are'sick; some are hungry; some are without clothes; others are without shelter. ‘They need our help. Andour helpwe haye given. The Jurge number of us present at the Athletic meet give support to the conviction that we are becom- og a unit in matters pertaining to the common good. And,:too, it is a well known fact that in helping others we help ourselves. Our boys who participated in the ath- letic meet were given an oppartu- nity to indulge in wholesove sports which were largely educa- tion in their make up. Thus they were benefitted. ‘hey can but grow imore manly and gallant through participation in such healthy amusement, All in all, the athletic meet was a great suc- cess. The promoter ought te feel’ much encouraged over the hearty response of their fellow citizens to their call. The move- mentisagreat one. Jt must grow year by year. Here’s hoping that the next annua! field day sport for the benefit of charity a:d’ under the auspices of the Negro Business and Professional men’s Association will be even a 6reater success than the meet of 1913.

Troy Newkirk was given a limit sentence of three years in the penitentiary for the killing of a white boy at 36th and Burroughs streets while driving an automobile.

It is reported that the death record of the city for the first four months of the year was lower than at any other period. A light is being waged for a new federal judicial district in Georgia with Savannah as headquarters. A small blaze on Perry street, west, occurred on Monday. The damage amounted to about $30.00. A number of automobile accidents were reported during the week. Stepping from a street car, a white boy was struck by an automobile, Tuesday. beginning on Monday, there will be a police matron stationed at the barracks.

Miss Agnes Jones Secures New Trial During the month of February a young woman named Miss Agnes Jones was convicted in the Superior court and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary on the charge of larceny of money and jewels valued at $3,175. She has remained incarcerated in the Chatham county jail for the past seven months. The young woman in question is a total stranger in Savannah and not having any one to manifest an interest in her case, test all hope of receiving her fury. dom, although stoutly maintaining her innocence. However, through the untiring efforts of Rev. W. L. Williams, 507 Park avenue, west, who for some time past has been actively engaged in giving spiritual advice and looking after the welfare of the prisoners in the county jail, the case of this young woman came under his notice. Confident of the innocence of Miss Jones, he immediately took steps to free this unfortunate girl of the grave charge on which she was convicted. He started a relief fund and by his activity and perserverance, solicited from churches and individuals who contributed sufficient money to enable him to employ solicitor W. H. Bernstein through whose efforts she obtained a new trial, thus giving freedom to the young woman, under bond. Too much credit cannot be given Rev.

He has brought joy to her breast and has at least endeavored to remove a stigma which would have always impaired her future. Miss Jones is a graduate of Central City College and a member of Rev. W. G. Johnson's church, Macon, Ga. It is a striking coincidence that Rev. Johnson baptized both Miss Jones and Rev. Williams, at whose hands she obtained the most of her help. Miss Jones and Rev.

Want a thing harder than the world wants to keep you from it, and you'll wear through every opposition and get it. The man who works hard enough will find enough to repay him. Only the worker lasts. Carelessness and indifference and neglect are not timers for the builder.—Herbert Kaufman. Stopped the Funeral. The "funeral" at Zemfa, in Hungary, of a man mined Peter Hirti proved a sensation. The cortege was approaching the cemetery when the lid of the coffin was forced off, and Peter Hirti, alive and well, stepped out of the hearse onto the road. On seeing him the mourners were seized with panic. When the excitement subsided Peter Hirti related that he had made a bet that he could reign death and keep up the deception until the coffin in which he was placed was taken to the cemetery. The want of air compelled him to force the coffin lid before the cemetery was reached, and he therefore lost the bet. Vindicated. A teacher in one of the public schools thought she had reason to doubt the word of a certain boy in her class who said he had been to a dental clinic of the department of health to have one of his teeth treated. The tooth in question had been the cause of much complaint, on the part of the youngster. When the boy saw that there was decided doubt as to his statements he finally blurted out that he could tell the teacher just who fixed his tooth. "And who did?" she asked. "The board of health's wife," quickly answered the boy. He was referring to the nurse in the clinic. The teacher took his word after that—New York Tribune. The Poplins of Ireland. In poplin making Ireland is said to lead the world. None but the Irish seem able to produce the softness of tint and brilliance of coloring which are characteristic of the best poplinns. The fabric is so woven that the surface is all silk, while firmness is given the material by wool in the interior. The various processes of poplin making require great skill and watchfulness, which are, perhaps, some of the reasons for the peculiar custom in regard to its manufacture. The Dublin poplin makers will not allow any one to work as a weaver who has not served a seven year apprenticeship or who is not the eldest son of a poplin maker.—Kansas Agriculturalist. Older Than Germany's Oldest. A house at Winkel acquired for a public museum is said to be the oldest dwelling in Germany, having been built for the archbishop of Mayence in S50. According to some authorities, the Fighting Cocks inn, St. Albans, which claims to be the oldest inhabited house in England, beats even this record, having been built as a bouthouse to the monastery founded at St. Albans by King Offa about 705. It has, however, not served as an inn so long as some other buildings, such as the Saracen's Head, Newark; the Old Green Man, Erdington; the Seven Stars, Witghrove, Manchester, and the Bell, Finedon—London Chronicle. What He Really Needed: A young man very fond of the girls, but very cautious as to his dealings with them, recently went to a poetical friend and asked him if he would help get up a birthday sonnet to a certain young lady. "Well," said the poet friend, "what do you want me to say?" "Why, you ought to know about what's the proper thing," said the young man, "something rather tender, but at the same time, remember, I don't want to commit myself in any way." "Well," said the poet, "you don't want a poet to draw up your birthday verse. You want a lawyer."—Ladies' Home Journal. He Could Sympathize. The sentimental city girl was spending a season in the country. So full of sentiment and so imaginative was she that she could bear the trees whisper, the bushes sigh and the plants sing. One day in June she was sitting beneath a cherry tree with several children, one of whom was a ten-year-old boy. Overhead a gentle breeze softly purred through the quivering leaves. "Listen!" suddenly exclaimed the young lady. "Can't you hear this poor tree grooming, Johnny?" "No; I don't hear it groan," replied Johnny, assuming a listening attitude, "but I know how it feels to be full of green cherries."—New York American. BENEFICENCE Beneficence has this peculiarity that the more we exercise it the more pleasure we find in its exercise. We attach ourselves to the unfortunate object that we relieve, and the assistance we give him becomes a want to those by whom it is administered. He who has once caused the tears of gratitude to flow and who can afterward seek a pleasure sweeter than that is not worthy of feeling all the charm of doing good.—Mme. Roland. 1910 MRS. WILLIAM CUMMING STORY. Mrs. William Cumming Story of New York city was recently elected president general of the Daughters of the American Revolution on the third ballot after a turbulent and prolonged contest. The vote was 600 for Mrs. Story to 449 for Mrs. John Miller Morton, the administration candidate. The result, which was reached after three days' balloting in a triangular fight, was received with tremendous applause by the delegates and visitors. The election resulted in a partial victory for the old administration, as more than half of the general officers and all of the new vice presidents general are known as supporters of Mrs. Scott, the retiring president. The latter was elected honorary president general, an honor only held by five former presiding officers of the society. The new president has taken a prominent part in the affairs of the Daughters of the American Revolution for ten years. She was elected regent of the New York state chapter on April 22, 1908, after a factional struggle. In 1909 and again in 1911 she made an unsuccessful run for the president general. Mrs. Story formerly was president of the Federation of Women's Clubs. She will live at the national capital. NEW SASHES. Those For Little Girls Designed Like Those For Their Elders. Looped over sashes or girdles such as have been placed on women's gowns are appearing on childish models. A coral pink satin frock for a little girl's wear as bridesmaid has one of these sashes with a looped over end falling at one side of the front, the sash end being weighted with crystal fringe. There are crystal buttons down one side of the bodice, and the costume is finished with a deep collar and cuffs of shadow lace. Another new sash arrangement has two bows of short loops set at either side of the back. These bows are exactly alike, and the arrangement is called the twin sash. It is especially liked with frocks of sheer lawn and embroidery or voile and embroidery, for fine cotton voile is much used for little girls' dresses now In combination with handsome machine embroidered banding or narrow insertions of cluny lace or Irish crochet lace. Portrait Party: Get common wrapping paper, a light brown or white, and cut into squares a foot and a half each way. Put up a sheet across a door and have the light from a lamp arranged so that the shadow of a person's head will be reflected on the square of paper. A guest is to be placed sideways so that the outline of the face will show on the paper. With a heavy pencil or a crayon draw the outline or profile. One guest at a time is brought into the gallery, and the name is put on the back of the portrait. When all have been taken an assistant helps cut out the silhouettes, which are pasted on black paper and planned up like a portrait exhibition. The guests are provided with pencils and paper and write down who they think is who. A prize is provided for the one who guesses the most correctly, and, if the hostess wishes, a consolation prize may be awarded. Handy Desk. If one does not feel like buying a desk a small table covered with rep to match the wall paper will answer as a good substitute. Shelves should be placed under the table and a valance plaited around the edges to cover them. A very good piece of leather colored rep would be in good taste, and the blotter pad could be bound with real leather. It would not require a large outlay for sufficient material to make a very-dalty desk. INSURANCE GEOGRAPHY When is a man most confused? When he misses his train. When are the people most unsafe?

For the suit a great variety of materials is available. White talatea is the one illustrated, with ```markdown ``` simple scalloped edges, but linen and pique, madras and gingham are equally correct. This belt is made of the material, but patent leather is much liked, and a patent leather belt over a suit of colored linen of pique always gives a smart finish. In place of scalloping the edges, stitching could be used, or any simple banding. For a boy four years of age four and a half yards of material twenty-seven inches wide will be needed, with one yard of twenty-seven inch material as decoration if it is trimmed as shown in the back view.

CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED It is worth remembering that the horses will eat up clean the clover stems left by the dairy cows. They don't hitch up—six dollar a year land rentals and the one year land skinning system of farm leasing. There may be good money in skunk farming, but the writer has no hankering to get rich in following this vocation. Sow a small patch of rape near the chicken yard. It will furnish green food for the fowls until Thanksgiving time and after. Silo experience points to the fact that it is worth while having one of these food preservers if one's dairy consists of six or more cows. While colts and horses get along first rate without vegetables such as apples or carrots, it is nevertheless true that they relish them greatly. The person who contemplates buying an automobile should be well enough fixed financially so that he, will not need to get his "gas" and lubricating oil on tick. --- Turning stock into the sweet clover pasture early not only gets them used to the legume when it is tender, but they become accustomed to its bitter taste when green food is scarce and they are not overfastidious. It is time to put up the house for the purple martins and the cigar box or can under the eaves for the wrens. In both instances the comradeship of these fine birds will more than pay for the trouble of giving them a place "where they may lay their young." Germs of tuberculosis are killed by exposure to direct sunlight for a period of ten minutes. This is the chief reason why the best medical authorities urge so strongly that tubercular patients be out in the sunshine as much as possible. It is the cheapest as well as the best tonic and medicine for this ailment. Experience with corn for silo purposes has shown that a maximum value of feed from the standpoint of both grain and stalk is secured if there is an average stand of four stalks to the hill. For grain purposes only, three stalks give the best results on soil that is fertile and put and kept in good physical condition. In some states a fine as high as $100 is provided as a penalty for the docking of horses' tails. A similar law should be passed in every state. While this practice is supposed to be followed particularly by those who want to keep up with the style, it is, nevertheless, a heathenish and barbarous custom and one that in all decency and humanity ought to be completely done away with. A friend who has a fine five acre patch of alfalfa is going to use it as a hog pasture this season, believing that it, coupled with the corn which he has, will furnish a cheap as well as a balanced ration. There could be no better combination. The only thing that needs to be guarded against is the matter of overpasturing this tract, a thing that there might be quite a temptation to do. The pretty well fixed notion that flax is hard on the soil is not borne out by modern agricultural science or experience. The bad reputation which flax seems to have acquired is not chargeable to any effect the flax itself had, but to a fungus (wilt) disease coming from the flax which affected following crops It has been found that when precautions are taken to prevent these plant diseases crops-following flax do well especially wheat and corn. The craving which many folks have for greens in the spring is a very natural and wholesome one and should be satisfied when possible, as the greens, including dandelions, mustard, beets, and the like, contain iron and other salts that form an excellent tonic. The writer doesn't know of any more appetizing form in which medicine may be taken than in the shape of greens cooked with a nice hock of ham or chunk of salt pork. Many a child is considered dull and stupid by both parents and teachers, when the truth is that the child is retarded by adenoid growths in the nasal cavity, which compel breathing through the mouth, is troubled with deafness and cannot hear what is said in school or has defective vision and cannot see well. In many instances alliments of these kinds may be corrected by proper treatment, and this parents ought to provide if they prize the future welfare of their children.

Among the many wonders of the vast Florida swamps there is nothing more surprising than the blushing tree. It actually blushes when the rain falls upon it. The mysterious and beautiful glow of color which it assumes in a rainstorm baffles descrip- tion. ‘When the cool rain drenches a tree a changing of color fs noted, Grad- ually, yet unmistakably, the green hue gives way to pink. In a few.minutes the green fades from sight. Only in a few half hidden spots beneath lower branches and on {ts trunk is there a tinge of green to be seen.

CARE OF ORCHARDS. When the western orchard expert, who gives most intensive care to his trees In the matter of cultivation as well 28 in pruning, spraying and thin- ning, gets only 2 nominal price for his fancy fruit tt is not dificult to see why thousands upon thousands of barrels of apples in central and eastern states. where orchards are used for calf pas- tures and given no other care and where the fruit is affected with scab, worms and San Jose, scale, do not pay to haul to town, much tess ship to a dis. tant market. ff there is any one con- clusion that the writer ts coming to more than another as a result of sev- eral years’ experience {n tho frult raising business it is that frult crowing can be made to pay only when it is conducted as a primary rather than a secondary interest and where it is not reduced to the level of 2 side issue and makeshift or worse. Not even the ex- pert who gives bis orchard the best possible care will do well every year, but in the long ran he fs the only one who can expect to succeed. HAVE GOT TO QUIT IT.

Proprietor _ 517 WEST BROAD ST - - i - SAVANNAH GA, MABEL’S CHITGHAT Something Nea the Woman Who Apparently Doesn't Work. THE LAZY STAY AT HOMES. Society's «atest Diversion These Spring Bays In New York’ Is tho Restaurani Dancing Tea—Men and Women Trip the Light Fantastic at 5 e'Clock. Dear Elsi—I'm going to preach, so. you poor,-suffering sister. if you're not in the mood for sermonizing. burn this letter or sidetrack it until its power of suggestion will appeal. My text fs, “The Woman Who Doesn't Work." She's rare these dass. but she’s about. It seems. {f one listens to general conversation, that all women work. some for a livelihood and others just for work's sake—work as 1 means of developinz their personalities and to en- large the Interests of the workers. That's the slogan, You know. dear, that it’s the “thing” to have an impor- tant ocenpation of your own or at least one which you can talk about with importance. Now. work is a good thing for evers- bods, but I think there are a few of us who have rather narrow ideas about it. We think our own particular job is the only really important thing in the world and that people who occupy themselves with other ‘watters are more or less certain to be idling. * To_come down to cases, I know a family of four sisters—one is employed in an olfice, one fs a teacher, one an art student, and the fourth stays at home Her name fs Margaret, and she occu- pies the position of “Jack in the mid- die” In the family. <All the sisters are nice girls and very foud of each other, but the three work- ers with one accord combine to patron- ize and pity Margaret, not in an un- friendly was, but quite as a matter of course. “You see, she docs notbing.” they say. “It's a pity sbe has no talents, for the days at home are so dull and long. At least she doesn’t hare te toll for her bread and butter as the rest of us do.” ‘fo be perfectly honest in the matter, I bad always thought Margaret rather lazy and often wondered how she could sit idle while her sisters worked. But after spendiug a day with the family I changed my mind. Work? That gitl worked from sun- rise to sunset. She did more In a day than any of ber sisters did in a week, and the work was purely unselfish, as she received neither credit nor pay- ment for it. The teaching sister want- ed a lot of circulars sent off to pupils, and of course Margaret could address the envelopes—it would give ber a nice Uttle occupation. The office girl never had time to sttend to ber clothes. and it was quite an understood thing that Margaret should darn ber stockings. trim ber bats and keep her clothes in order. The art student wanted a model, and Margaret must pose, and so on, and so on. At the end of the week the three sisters had something to show for what they bad done—salary envelopes, something solid and com- forting. But what @id Margaret get? I think she's being cheated, week after week, of the thanks and affec- tion she has earned by sheer bard ‘work. The least these gisters could do would be to speak well of ber, to acknowledge her usefulness and to place ber on an equality with their important, busy selves.
