JOHNS BAPTIST CHURCH ENDS TUESDAY Church Has Membership Of 2865 The anniversary of St. John's-Baptist church, Hartridge street, Rev. William Gray, pastor, was begun on last Monday night and will end on Tuesday night with a jubilee by the members and friends of the church. Each night of the anniversary has been very largely attended and the program very interesting. On tomorrow Rev. W. A. Daughtry, pastor of Mt. Bethel will preach at the morning service, and Rev. Daniel Wright will speak at night. On Monday night Rev. L. A. Townsley will deliver the sermon and a banquet will be held after the services.

John Grove was the first pastor of the church, and after three years he was succeeded by the Rev. Wm. Gray, the present pastor, who has made it one of the strongest churches in the city- Negro Employment Bureau Established During the past two weeks there has been established at 457 West Broad street a Negro employment bureau. This new enterprise among the Negroes of the city is known as the Negro Employment Exchange and is managed by Prof. L. B. Thompson, of the Georgia State Industrial College, and Mr. Wm. J. Jackson-Messrs. Thompson and Jackson will endeavor to supply efficient help in all lines of work and the exchange will undoubtedly be of much service to those out of employment or seeking more lucrative places. The management is endeavoring to get into touch with all the big firms of the city and will be of much assistance to the Negroes of the city provided the management is able to carry out their plans. Mrs. A. S. Lloyd of 736 Waldburg street, east, will leave on Sunday for Port Royal and Braufort. While in the former place she will be the guest of Mrs Anna Smalls and in Beaufort, she will be the guest of Mr. and Mrs. H G. Fisher. Mr. Lloyd will accompany Mrs. Lloyd. Mr. Albert S. Beaten of Charleston. S. C., spent the week in the city visiting relatives and friends. VOLUME XXVIII PROPO Over Home News, Beaufort S. C. 中学校 (J. S. Blocker Correspondent) Mr. R. Carr, Jr., was in the city last week on business. Miss Mamie Rivers died at her home in Savannah, Saturday July 12th. The remains were brought over on Sunday for interment on St. Helena Island, her former home. She was the daughter of Mr. J. R. Rivers, formerly of St. Helena but now of Savannah. Sympathy goes out to the entire family. Miss Bessie Singleton, of Savannah, was in the city last week for a few days. Mrs. Irene Moultrie came over on the St. John Baptist church's excursion on the 7th, also Mrs. Kelly, her friend. Beaufort is to have a musical treat. The famous Tuskegee Institute band is to play here on the 16th and 17th of August. The many friends of Mr. Wm. Washington will regret to learn of his death which occurred Saturday morning at 3 o'clock at his home on Prince street, after an illness of three weeks. His death came as a shock. Mr. Washington was esteemed very highly by both races. He was about 27 years of age and has lived in Beaufort for more than nine years, where he made a host of friends. He was a very prominent member of Acme Lodge K. of P. No. 78. The funeral services which were held at his home Saturday morning, were conducted by Rev. A. W. Waller, pastor of the F. A. B. church. He was laid to rest at his old home Mt. Carmel Baptist Church Cemetery, Keans Neck, with Pythian honors. The funeral was in charge of Jas. Riley and Son embalmers and undertakers. Among those that came over on the St. John Baptist church excursion from Savannah on last Monday were Mr. J. S. Lloyd, also Mr. W. W. Devaugh of 507 Bowen street. Mrs. Lucy Mitchell and her daughter, Miss Jestine, left for Fall River, N. Y., last week, where they will remain for the summer. Mr. R. N. Moore and his wife, Mrs. Eliza Moare, have been very sick for the past two weeks at their home on Charles street. One of the most beautiful home weddings that have taken place at Earley Branch for some time was that of Mr. Abraham Riley of this city and Miss Leslie Brown of Early Branch, on Sunday 29th of June, Rev. A. W. Waller officiating. Hon. J. I. Washington, for more than 11 years deputy collector at this Port, resumes his law practice after July 15th at which time his office as deputy collector will be abolished by a recent act of Congress, putting the Beaufort office under the district of Charleston Hon.

The Good Samaritians of this city carried a record breaking crowd over to Savannah on Sunday night. All reported a good time on their return to Beaufort, Sermon at St. Stephen's The sermons by the Rev. Mr. Parris at St. Stephen's were greatly enjoyed last Sunday by an appreciative congregation. His subject to-morrow morning will be "Man." The evening subject, "The Non-Prodigal Son." A welcome for all who attend. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1913 Charity Hospital Makes Appeal ASKS FRIENDS TO CONTRIBUTE FOR FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS Operating Room Enameled and Sky Light Placed in—Hospital to be Moved to Allow Street Opening—Campaign for Funds Started During the past three weeks Charity Hospital, 30th and Florence streets, has been undergoing several improvements, which have added materially to the looks and effectiveness of the institution. Chief among these improvements have been the enameling of the walls and ceiling of the operating room and the placing therein of a sky light. For some time the hospital staff has been greatly inconvenienced in performing operations on account of a lack of light in the operating room, due to the condition of the room and the fact that there was no means of admitting light through the ceiling. Therefore, the recent improvements have eliminated this inconvenience and made it one of the most modern operating rooms to be found in the city. Further improvements to the hospital are anticipated by the board of trustees. These include the enlarging of the institution, the purchasing of the adjoining lot and moving of the building about ten feet to the front and about an equal distance to the castward, caused by the opening up of Thirty-fifth street lane and the widening of Florence street. Recently there has been organized by the institution an association of former students and graduates of the nurse training department, whose object it is to further the interests of the hospital and assist in raising funds. This association met last Wednesday afternoon and authorized certain members to collect subscriptions from friends of the institution. In order to effect the contemplated plans of the institution a considerable amount of money is needed, and it is thought that the friends of the institution will rally to its support and assist in raising the needed money. There has been established a "Permanent Improvement Fund" to the institution and the money given by friends will apply directly to this fund. Those who are authorized by the hospital association to solicit subscriptions to this fund are Mrs. A. E. Randolf, Mrs. George LeGare, Mrs. A. B. G. Carr, Mrs. Mintie Cannal, Mrs. Sarah Haywood, Mrs. L. A. Newton, Miss Maria Gardeen, Miss Georgia Saunders, Miss A. E. Williams, Mrs. S. Louise Maiden, Mrs. L. E. Wilson and the members of the hospital staff. The next meeting of the association will be on the 30th of this month. The Carnegie Library Fund The Curators through the secretary, Prof. H. Pearson, acknowledge the following contributions to the Carnegie Library Fund: Mr. Walter S. Scott $40 completing his subscription of $50.00; Boys of Pleasure $2.50 completing their subscription of $5 00 Mr. Scott's contribution is the largest to made by any individual or society. Who next? Mr. Scott is lonesome; who will join his society? It costs only $50.00. H. Pearson, Sec'ty. Must Treat All Patrons Courteous COMPANY WILL NOT TOLE- RATE MIS-TREATMENT OF NEGROES Reprimands Conductor Who Mistreats Colored Girl—Em- ployees Must be Courteous to Both Colored and White Patrons. That the Savannah Electric Company means for all of its employees to be courteous to all patrons of its lines was unmistakably shown in a letter from the acting manager of the company to Mr. J.C. Lindsay who protested against the discourteous treatment of a Negro girl who was riding home on a Battery Park car on the night of the 5th of this month and who was spoken to by the conductor of the car on which she was riding in a very discourteous manner. Mr. Lindsay who was riding home on the car which the Negro girl boarded, and overheard the insulting remarks which the conductor addressed to her, spoke to the conductor of his mistreatment of the young woman, but the reply which he received from the conductor was of a very aggravating sort, and he (Mr. Lindsay) therefore, wrote to the manager of the company, protesting against the unwarranted and discourteous treatment which the conductor accorded the young lady and also himself. The reply which Mr. Lindsay received from his letter shows that the management of the company will not countenance any unfair or discourteous treatment to any of its patrons and that they all, both colored and white, must be treated with utmost courtesy by the employees of the line. The communication of Mr. Lindsay, telling of the incident which happened on the car. and the reply of Acting Manager H. C. Foss are as follows: "Savannah, Ga., July 8, 1913. "The Manager, "Sav'h Electric Co. "Cit "Dear Sir: "Saturday, July 8th, at 9:45 p.m., a Negro girl boarded a Battery Park car, No. 454, at the corner of Duffy and West Broad streets, and handed the conductor, whose cap number was 50, her transfer in payment of her fare, and quietly took a back seat. It became necessary for the car to wait at the corner of Anderson and West Broad streets, until the car which was at the south end of the line pass. While waiting there, the Negro girl took out her change, and began counting it, and the conductor who seemed to have been a new man, stood up over the girl, reaching out his hand and remarking to the girl, 'Haven't you looked at that little money long enough?' She thereupon inquired of him, 'How did that matter concern you?' He (the conductor) remarked that he wanted his fare. She assured him that she had paid upon entering the car, with a transfer ticket, and asked him if he did not remember it. He thereupon acknowledged the payment, but said, 'You niggers is such dead beats, is why I asked you again.' "About this time the motorman heard his loud mouthing.jn the rear and came to the rear end of the car and asked what his trouble was. After being told, he smiled and returned to the front end. "I then made the remark to the conductor that I thought it very SACRED CONCERT AT FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH TOMORROW Mr. Spelghts to be Leading Sololists On to-morrow afternoon as 4:30 o'clock there will be a sacred concert at the First Congregational church. The main feature of the program will be Mr. William Speights of Boston, Mass. Mr. Speights is one of the best known Negro tenor soloists in the country, and as was demonstrated several months ago in his recital here at the Beach Institute, possesses a voice of great range and sweetness. Mr. Speights will render several selections and the best local talent will appear on the program. Prof. R. W. Gadsden has charge of the program and a real treat awaits the crowd which will undoubtedly be out. Admission is free, but there will be a silver offering taken. Six Pass Teachers' Examination Of the applicants who stood the teachers' examination for positions in the Chatham county schools, six succeeded in passing. They are Misses Clinton Dingle, Frederica Johnson, Harriet Jones, Delphene Stoney, Mattie Victory and Dorothy Williams. Among those to resign from the system is Mrs. Florence H. Robinson, for many years a teacher in the city schools. unkind in him to make such remarks to his inoffensive passenger, and especially to a female. He shouted out to me. 'What it takes to cool you and your kind, I have it in my pocket.' I assured him that his conduct would be forthwith reported to the proper authority, as the corporation did not stand for that kind of treatment to its inoffensive passengers. "In view of the fact, that I and hundreds of other Negro men and women find it absolutely necessary to use the cars daily, going to and from our work, to say nothing about our churches and various organizations, which patronize your various lines, from time, to time on outings, I consider the unwarranted conduct of this conductor outrageous and deserving, of your prompt attention. "And on behalf of my people, I feel that I would not be asking too much of you, to be assured by you, that this man, who seems to be determined and bent straining the friendly relations now existing between the intelligent and industrious portion of both races in this community, be removed from this position, where he will be forced to come in contact with an inoffensive people, for whom he shows so much intense hate. . . "I feel that your company stands ready and is willing to give to the humblest peasant a square deal. Your reply in regards to the treatment, which I may expect in the future, is anxiously awaited. "Signed J. C. Lindsay." "Savannah, Ga., July 9, 1913. "Mr.' J. C. Lindsay." "509 West Broad Street. "We beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of July 8th, in which you report the discourteous conduct of one of our conductors on Battery Park car No. 454, on the evening of July 5th. "We have investigated the matter very carefully, and it is our belief that the conductor was courteous, and we have reprimanded him accordingly, and have explained to him carefully the absolute necessity of treating passengers, both colored, as well as white, courteously at all times. Inasmuch as it is the first report we have had against the conductor, we do not feel that it is proper to dismiss him from the service, and we hope that the means we have taken to impress the matter upon him will have good results. "We beg to assure you that it is our desire that our employees treat all passengers, whether colored or white, with the utmost courtesy. "We thank you for bringing the matter to our attention, and trust you will have no further cause for complaint. Tuskegee Band Will. Play Here TO APAEAR AT SAVANNAH THEATER NIGHT OF AUGUST 18TH Band is Composed of Forty- Seven Musicians—Tour of Band Through North and West a Great Success—Local Charities to Get Aid. On Monday night, August 18th, 1913, the people of Savannah will be given the much looked for pleasure of hearing Professor N. Clark Smith and his Tuskegee Institute Band, Orchestra and Glee Club, consisting of 47 pieces, at the Savannah Theater. The band started on June 1st, a tour of the western states, the northern and southeastern states. They have met with unstinted praise and encouragement throughout the trip in the west and are playing before crowded houses in the north. The coming of this organization, with Captain Smith at its head, is really a treat for Savannah. Captain Smith, as every one knows, stands in the forerank of Negro musicians and composers, and his knowledge and love of music he has diligently and successfully imparted to the Negro lads under him. Capt. Smith's record is an enviable one. Among his many achievements is that for four years he was band master of the 8th Regimental Illinois State Militia. He is also known and recognized as an exponent of composers of Negro folk song. Capt. Smith is an attraction by himself. The band is coming here under the auspices of the Local Branch of the National Negro Business League, of which Mr. A. B. Singfield is president, Mr. J. C. Ling-say, vice president and Mr. W. W. Hill, secretary, the names of these men guarantee you a concert of merit. A portion of the proceeds is to be given to Charity Hospital and the Old Folks' Home—two worthy charities. The Business League is not asking your support because the personnel of this band is Negroes, not because the proceeds are to be given to charity, but because they are bringing before the Negro public of Savannah an organization that know music and know how to render it. Make your reservations now. Do not wait until the last minute. For reservations, see Walter S. Scott, 468 West Broad street. Information will be gladly furnished by any member of the League: Seats 25c., 50c., 75c. Box seats $1.00. Mr. G. H. Bowen Asked to Sell Macon Real Estate On last Tuesday, Mr. G. H. Bowen made a hurried trip to Macon in response to a request of the trustees of Morris Brown College, who were meeting there. Morris Brown College owns a tract of about six hundred acres of land in East Macon, and the meeting Tuesday of the board of trustees of the university was called for the purpose of considering the advisibility of placing about one third of this tract, approximately 1000 lots, on sale. Mr. Bowen has met with much success in the sale of real estate in this city and the members of the board, feeling that he would be just the man to handle the proposition which they were about to put on the market, requested his presence at the meeting. The proposition as offered Mr. Bowen by the board is a flattering one and he has taken it under advisement. The subdivision which Mr. Bowen is asked to handle is very desirable property and the chances are more than even that if he accepts the handling of it he will be equally as successful in disposing of it as he has been in his deals in this city. Mrs. Nancy Simmons of Jacksonville. Fla., is in the city visiting Mrs. M. G. Graham, of York street, west. Prof. B. S. Ingram of Macon, Ga., Grand Master of the Odd, Fellows of Georgia, spent several days in the city this week. Monumental Church Services at the Mother Church last Sunday were grand, and all who failed to hear them missed a treat that may never be offered again. Rev. H. Henderson, of West Palm Beach, Fla., a delegate to the B. Y. P. U., preached an excellent sermon at 11 o'clock, from Timothy 2nd, chapter, 3rd, verse, subject, "Christian Endurance." Everyone was made happy by his forceful sermon. In the afternoon, the funeral of Mrs. Belle Watson, was conducted by the pastor, Rev. L. A. Townsley, assisted by Rev. James Gillens of Birmingham, Ala. The deceased was, for a number of years, associated with the Sunday school, choir, and the different boards of the church. In the evening at 8:30 o'clock, Rev. A. L. James, of Ocala, Fla., another delegate, preached a wonderful sermon. Mrs. S. A. Townsley has been quite sick, but is convalescing now. The services are always inspiring and one can find no better place to go than o the church. A cordial welcome awaits all, free pews, plenty of fans, and as fine a sermon as one can hear anywhere, with good singing to cheer one who is despondent. Services Sunday: early sunrise prayer meeting, Sunday school 9:30 a.m., preaching 11 a.m., and 8 p. m., Allen Christian Endeavor at 6 p. m. You are invited. F. B. 3. Churchi On Sunday morning there was quite a large attendance at church. The services were conducted by Rev. C. Walker. He read for the lesson Ps. 101. His text was from Ps. 101:2. The subject was "David's vow and profession of Godliness." The subject was fully and profitably discussed. Rev. Wright introduced Dr. Prittechett, proprietor of the East Side Pharmacy, who made a few cheering remarks and bade us "go on." At night the church was crowded, Rev. Wright read for the lesson Ps. 23r. He then introduced Rev. A. Hitt, of Knoxville, Tennessee, president of the State Baptist Convention of Tennessee, who preached: very pointed and striking sermon from St. John 1:38. The subject was, "Where dwellest thou." We were delighted to hear Rev. Hitt. We are always glad to welcome strangers and cheer the weary traveler. A collection was taken to assist in the work he represented. "Visit our church at any time." Beth-Eden Baptist Church Corner Lincoln and Gordon Streets. Corner Lincoln and Gordon Streets. We are very sorry that the pastor, Rev. N. M. Clark, who has been confined to his room for the last few days is still not able to be out, but very glad that he is very much better, and hope to have him with us again soon. The Rev. A. L. James of Fernandina, Fla., preached a fine sermon Sunday morning on "Transfiguration." At night we were favored with another good sermon by Rev. William Bennett of Atlanta, who preached from the text, Psalm 84:11, "For the Lord God is a sun and shield."

A. Martin's subject, "The Relation between Science and Religion." Visitors always welcome. Among the Masons The Grand Chapter O. E. S. meets August 6, at Waycross. To be a true Mason is to be a true man and a true man is God's ideal of perfection. I honor the names of the noble exemplars of its teachings, in all the ages, and I love the brothers wherever they may be found. — It is a considerable of a blunder to take out your dimit from your Lodge because you cannot have your own way, it is a mistake, because the lodge can do without you much better than you can, do without the Lodge and the Masonic tramp is not a lovely object, however you may regard him.—Los Angeles Freemason. "As Masons we should endure to cultivate a disposition that will be agreeable to all mankind. In other words, we should instill into our daily life the true teachings of Masonry, so that the prafune world can see that there is true merit in Masonry. When we do this we will have more seekers after mystic rites.—The Masonic News. It is suggested that Masonic Lodges follow the example of the churches, and hold peace meetings. Every meeting of a Masonic lodge is a peace meeting, for one of the most solemn teachings of Freemasonry is brotherly love, and that our brother belongs to every nation and every race. Masonry never, directly or indirectly, fomented a war.—Texas Freemason MASONRY IN TIME OF WAR When, after four long years of war, when hundreds of thousands of men had lost their lives struggling to capture Richmond, at last it felt, when that worn and starving "Pain Gray Lite" had crossed the river and burned the bridges, the foe came marching in as a column of cavalry 'murched up Franklin street, while the fire was raging in the city, thousands of Negroes set free in a moment, while hoodlums, spies, desetters and criminals of every sort were burning and pillaging, all law and order was gone; at this dreadful time the colonel of a regiment saw our emblems and the words "Masonic Hall." He halted the column and placed a guard, all Masons over the oldest Masonic building in America. He thus preserved records back to 1787.—Rt, Wor. Bro. Dr. Jos. W. Eggleston of Virginia. THE MASTER The lodge is ruled by a master. The word Master comes to us from the Latin Magister—a chief, director or magistrate; and ultimately from a Sanscrit word, signifying great. To this day a ruler over great territories in India is called a majharajah, or great king, just as the Persian monarch styled himself great king or king of kings. But until comparatively recent times the Lodge was ruled by a Warden. The Master was the employer or "lord" for whom the work was done. He seldom appeared among the men, though on extraordinary occasions he may have graced their meetings by his presence. At a later date, it was the custom of Masons, as of other artisans, to place themselves under the protection of some powerful men, who guarantee to them their ancient privileges and promoted their interest. If this protector appeared among them, it would be as a superior, before whom they uncovered. In some jurisdictions the Master wears his hat in open Lodge. May this not be a survival of the old habit of the master or lord remaining covered in the presence of his employees or dependents?—A. T. Freed, in Masonic Sun. TO SUBDUE OUR PASSIONS One of the objects of speculative Masonry is to learn to subdue our passions. It is truly a pitiable thing to see a man whose passions have domination over him—who is, indeed, the slave of his passions. His will power is overcome, his life is wrecked. his God-given powers are engulfed in the evil maelstrom of his unholy desires. His short life is lived to no purpose the world is worse because of his having lived in it, he is an influence for harm and not for good. Masonry is intended to strengthen the weak-willed, to aid the faltering, to give power to those who are battling bravely against their evil passions. The lesson so strongly taught in the lodge-room, the brotherly admonition outside of the lodge room, the friendly hand, the kindly aid—all these tend powerfully to assist the tempted Mason to subdue his passons and improve himself in morality. And thus may Masonry continue to assist us to daily increase in faith, hope and charity, and in every moral and social virtue.—Herald. MASONIC DATING The Masonic dating is a matter of mystery to many members. The other day, glancing up at the figures 5877, on the Masonic Temple in Rome a Mason asked me "What does that mean?" It isn't the number of the building is it?" Others have asked me what the letter A. L. after the Mosaic year means. The matter is very simple, once it is understood. To find the "Year of Light." Anno Lucis, or "A. L." used in the Blue Lodge Masonry, add 4000 to the current year, Anno Domini or A. D. The year 1913 corresponds to the Year of Light. A. L. 5913. To find the Hebrew Year, Anna Hebraico, the date, used by the Scottish Rite, add 3760 to the current year. The year 1911 corresponds to the Hebrew Years 5771-5772. To find the Year of the Discovery, Anno Inventions, used by the Royal Arch, add 530 to the current year. The year 1913 corresponds to Year of the Discovery A. I. 2433. To find the Year of the Deposit, Anno Deposition is used by Royal and Select Masters, add 1000 to the current year. The year 1913 corresponds to the Year of Deposit, A. D. 2913. To find the Year of the Order, Anno Ordinis, used by Knights Templar, subtract 1118 from the current year. The year 1913 corresponds to Year of the Order, A. O. 795. Dates of Masonic significance this year are Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Ascension Day, May 25; St. John the Baptist's Day, June 24; St. John the Evangelist's Day, December 27. Local Happenings Boiled Down to Hasty Readers. A handsome silver service was presented Editor P. A. Stovall of the Press by some of his friends. A set of plans and specifications have been submitted the board of education for the new school building on the Haven Home site. Mr. Fred Jones was killed by being ran over by freight cars, while sleeping on the tracks near Pooler, on Tuesday.

Unfaithfulness of George's wife is the alleged cause. Tyme Boylston, a white woman, attempted to committ suicide, while at the Thunderbolt Casino, Sunday night, by drinking sodme she has recovered. Contract for the garbage constructor has been signed, by the major. It will be finished within 200 days and will be erected near the water works.

In the city there are 147 colored children who can not read and write and 161 in the county. License Revoked Savannah, Ga., July 8th, 1913. To The Tribune: We, the members of the St. John Baptist Church, ask for a small space that we might let the public know of the misconduct of Brother. I. R. Riley, a licentiate of our church, who communed the members of the Ebenezer Baptist Church of Woodbine, Ga. He communed them the first Sunday in May also the first Sunday in June. He told the people that he was ordained six years, and for such misdemeanor, we the members of St. John Baptist Church, have revoked his license and have withdrawn the right hand of fellowship from him. Iours. Rey. Wm. Gray. Sister L. Baldwin, clerk. Lesson III.—Third Quarter, For July 20, 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text, of the Lesson, Ex. iii, 1-14, Memory Verses, 13.14—Golden Text, Matt. v. 8—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. How many years are often passed over in silence, as in the life of Elijah, of whom we know nothing till we see him standing before Abah, and John the Baptist, of whom we know nothing from his birth to his call to service, and those forty years of Moses' shepherd life. Thore cause a day toward the close of those forty years when Moses, having led the flock to the back side of the desert even to Boreh, the mountain of God, saw something unusual, even a bush burning, but not consumed. As he turned aside to see why the bush was not consumed God called unto him out of the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses." If Moses had not turned inside to see that great sight he might perhaps have missed the call. If we would properly consider every unusual thing that comes unto our lives we might hear the voice of God more often than we do. Note how Moses in his old age speaks of "the good will of Him that dwelt in the bush" (Deut. xxxiii, 16). Stephen in his sermon refers twice to the angel of the Lord which appeared to Moses in the bush (Acts vii, 30, 35). When Moses replied to the voice of Him that spake, saying "Here am I" or "Behold me," he was told that if it was the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob who was speaking to him, and he was told before the interview ended that this was His memorial name forever unto all generations (vvsss 6, 15, 16; iv. 5). The Lord Jesus referred to this incident at the bush in His reply to the Sadducees and used the same threefold name (Luke xii, 26, 27). The Lord after telling Moses who He was that spake to him then gave Moses to understand that it was none of his affair as to how it was to be done; he must put off his shoes, for it was a holy place, the presence of God, and He was to be the door of it all. Joshua had the same orders as he was about to lead Israel into the promised land (Josh. v, 15). The key to the meaning of unshod feet is found in Deut. xi, 24; Josh, 1, 3. In that light consider Isa. ivili, 13, and lay it to heart. While considering the name of Him who talked with Moses we might notice that other wondrous name given in reply to Moses' question, "I am that I am," or simply "I am" (verses 13, 14). In the New Testament, where we read His statement "I am be," you will notice the word "he" is in italics, so that He said simply "I am," as in John vill, 24; xvili, 6, and then He often added a name such as I am the door; I am the way, the truth, the life; I am the good shepherd; I am the Son of God, and many others in the book of Revelation. Having told Moses who He was, He then told him His purpose: I have seen, I have heard, I know, I am come down to deliver and to bring them up onto a good land (verses 7, 8). He asked neither advice nor help from Moses; but, having declared His purpose, He puf before him a great offer in the words, "Come now, therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt" (verse 10). Notwithstanding God's revelation of Himself Moses did not grasp it, but began his objections and assertions of incompetence in such words as "Who am I that I should go?" "O my Lord, I am not eloquent. * * * I am slow of speech and of a slow tongue" (dil. 11: 1v. 10). How patient and graciously the Lord dealt with him, saying: "Certainly I will be with thee; * * * I have sent them." "I will be with thy mouth and teach thee what thou shalt say" (iii, 12; iv, 12). When he was told to gather the elders of Israel and day before them the Lord's purpose and was assured that they would hear him and was then told what he and they should say to Pharah he again objected, saying. "They will not believe me nor hearken unto my voice, for they will say the Lord hath not appeared unto thee" (dil, 16-18: iv, 1). Then he was given three signs, the rod and serpent, the leprous hand and the water turned to blood, each full of significance and bearing directly on the case. When he persisted in insisting that he could not speak his brother Aaron was given to him to be his spokesman or prophet, and the Lord said, "I know that he can speak well. * * * and thus shalt speak unto him and put words in his mouth (iv. 14-16; vll. 1). Truly He is the God of patience, and we need to live in and be filled with the love of God and the patience of Christ (Rom. xv. 5; II Thess. 11, 5, margin). The Lord knew well the heart of Pharaoh and that he would need sore judgments to humiliate him, but He would be patient even with him and bring Israel out with great spoil, even that which belonged to them (iii. 19-22). They did not borrow but asked or demanded (verse 22, R. V.). Note in iv. 22, that the Lord calls Israel His son. His firstborn, and, His firstborn being oppressed, the firstborn of Egypt must suffer if there is no repentance. The meeting of Moses and Aaron in the mount of God after forty years of separation and Moses' communication to Aaron of all that the Lord had said and done is interesting.

Ilis father is the Crown Prince William, who will one day succeed to the titte of emperor— that is, if he outlives the present ruler. Frederick William is the oldest of the crown prince's children and is in the direct line of succession. At present that probably doesn’t bother him very much. “Waving fun," us young America ex- presses it, is doubtless more to his lik- ing than thoughts of future grandeur. ‘The little prince is seven years old and was born on the Fourth of July—a date that has no signifleauce to him other than that it is his birthday. What boy or girl in this country would not feel an especial pride in having Independ- ence day for a birthday? Then the Fourth of July would mean two cele- brations in one. as Valiente: Ou Shen: Aven Why is a cat's tail like tho ends of the earth? Because it’s fur to the end. But if the cat has no tail?

A HOMEMADE ROAD DRAG. The office of public roads at Wash- ington has recently xént out a circular which contains the foilowing directions for making the split lux drtg and how to use it: “This road drag is wade from two halves ef a lug which bas been split. The loz should be about efght iucbes In thickness and from six to eight feet long. Tue two halves of the log should be set with the fiat surfaces forward and upright and fastened to- gether with braces set in holes bored through the log. The team for haulivz the drag should be hitched to a chain fastened tothe front half of the lug. he drag »bould be hooked up in such a way that it will run diagonally and cause a small amount of louse earth to slide past it ta the center of the road, thus forming the crown. The edzes of the drag will smovth out the ruts. ‘The best way to drag is to begin at the side ditch‘and go up one side of the road and then down the other. “In the nest trip the drag showld be nm a lit- tle nearer the center, and the last trip over the road the drag should be work- ed close io the center. Small ridges of earth will be thrown in ‘the horse tracks and wagon ruts. This smear- ‘ing of the earth by the drag is ca}ied ‘puddling’ and tends to make the sur- face of the road smooth and water tight after the sun comes out. A road should always be dragged following a heavy rain. when it is moist and mealy and will work to the best advantage.” THE DODDER PEST. Dodier ix one of the worst ills that ean beset the grower of small grain, clover and alfalfa. and It is likely to be especiilly troublesome in delds of the legumes named because its seed so closely resembles theirs. The presence of dodder in one’s field is usually the penalty be pays for buying “cheap John.” catalogue house clover and al- falfit sco The dodder ty a parnsitie plant and spouxer—that is, it hves off other plants. As soon as the seed is started and the plant gets a start it attaches itself to any plant which it may touch, and shortly afterward the stalk from this point of contact to the ground withers, but the plant above this Point flourishes on its stolen nourish- ment. The most effective way of get- ting rid of dodder is to quit buring cheap seed that Is infested with it. An- other is cutting the crop which it in- fests before the dodder seeds. Still another is following a system of crop rotation which will not leave the same untilled crop on the land two years In succession. THE HANSON ALFALFA. Some three years ago Professor Han. son of the South Dakota’ Agricultural college made a trip to Siberia for the federal department of agriculture for the purpose of securing, if possible, the seed of a variety of alfalfa that would withstand not only great cold, but also the semiarid conditions that prevail in many of thecwestern and intermountain states. He brought home the seeds of a yellow flowering variety, the stalk of which fs smaller and the leaves of which are finer than the common blue flowered variety. It is three years now since this Siberian alfalta seed was ‘sown, and it is now possible to note results. A stool of this variety recently dug near Pierre weighed seven and a half pounds, while the stalks measured more than thirty inches In length. In view of such a showing, this new variety of alfalfa gives promise of being a real find an@ of flourishing under any con. ditions which are Mkely to be found in the bleakest and driest parts of the country. PRIZES FOR RURAL PUPILS. Some months ago Director Page of the office of public roads announced an essay contest to be participated in by pupils of the rural schéols of the coun- try. One gold medal and two silver ‘medals were to be awarded on the best essays written on the subject of “The Maintenance of Country Roads.” The time limit within which these essays may be written bas been extended to Oct. 15. The Idea which it 1s desired to have brought out In the essays and to have public attention centered upon Ix that of the improvement of country roads and the keeping of them up through the use of materials that are found available in each locality. This contest is one in which both texghers and pupils sbould take a keen interest, as it is one of the practical and vital problems confronting every rural community today. Further, par- ticular, in regard to the contests may be bad by addressing a letter af in- quiry to Director Page. office of public roads. \Vashington. CROWING THE CATALPA. The Burlington railroad is closiag an interesting test in the growing of ca- talpa trees for railroad ties. Eleven Fears ago the management of the road planted a tract of 125 acres adjoining Its right of way In western Iowa, and for the past three weeks this bas been a forest of bloom, the fragrance of the bloom being wafted through the win- dows of passing trains. The Grst fall after setting the trees were damaged ‘by an early freeze. afid two years lat- er thes were hit by a hailstorm, but notwithstanding these drawbacks they have made a good growth, many har- ing attained a height of twenty fect and a circumference of eighteen tu twenty inches. Lsxperiments by the railroad company with the ecatalpa ‘yrood treated and untreated indicate that the untreated trees make the best ‘and most fasting tie.

Whenever a Negro triumphs ir life, whother'it is in politics, re- ligion, education, society or athle. tics it is genorally an admitted fact that success’ has come to him ir his particular field of endeayor not through any special dispensa- tidn injhis favor or’any establish- od lair to suit his case. It is knownjthat he has succeeded in open’ field in competition with othors bécatise he was fit and able to!“‘deliver the goods” better than his fellow competitors. Such seems ta.be th2 case of Howard P. Drow, the crack:colored athlete of the Springfield, (Mass.,) High school. Drew seems to be in such Gue-fettle at the present time un- til he is having little difficulty in showing his heels to_any and all of his pompehiors: In the Nation- al Champiogship meet held at Chicago a few days ago, Drew was able to demonstrate his supremacy as a sprinter by win- aing in‘open field the 100 and 220. yard dashes. In so doing, he suc- ceeded in breaking the senior amateur union records. Time and again, ht has been able to show that asa short distance sprinter, he.is in.a,class by himself. In bs- ing-ehlg to.out.class all rivals in his particular, field, Drew has rendered to the.race a great ser- vice, ‘He has indeed put to, flight the idew'that in athletics as ‘well as other’ finds, we are an inferior people. , Oh tne other hand he has contritiiged’ ' his share toward proving; the’' versatility of our people.” “The race to-day is in dirg,need. ofj.more Drews.

Drew, ou crack réptesentative on the ath. detic field. May the time be naj fardistant,when the Drew, spirit of achibvement ‘and success will manifest itself ‘in every field of ac tivity aniong us. Seite om, jf£ever, has any stand taken by aay of our white ‘friends in ourbebilf, created’ more wide spread enthusiasm and hope among us or called forth more genuine thanks from‘our people, than thé one recenty, taken by Dr. Walter S. Wilson;'a prominent member of the Board of Education of Chatham: county, in regard to in- creased school facilities for the Colgred clildren of the county. According to information obtain- ed from & reliable source, itis re- ported that at a recent meeting of the Board of Education, Dr. Wil- son in out spoken language made it plain to his fellow members of the Board that he would not coun- tenance nor support. any move- ment for increased school facilities for tho white children of the city until the present congested condi- tion which now exists among the Negro school children is relieved by the building of a first class and modern school building for them. It indeed requires no_ stretch of thought or breadth of imagination for one to appreciate the unselfish- ness and unusual candor which prompted Dr. Wilson to take tho stand which he has. It must be absolutely clear to all that as one of -the leading members of the Board of Education, Dr. Wilson feels it to be his duty to serve his entire.constituency each and all alike and this, regardless to race orcalor. There is no denying the fact that a new school is badly needed for our children. The congestion is indeed too great. Aad now since the Board of Bdu- cation has seen fit to giye a new school building it is believed that under the leadership of such men as Dr. Wilson, Judge Adams and other members of the Board, men who are fair minded and just to all, alike, a now first class school’ Bailding for Negroes will soon grace athe location of the present, Havén Homie school. The Colored people throughout the city are indeed grateful to Dr, Wilson for his timely words in ‘their be- half. They feel that in him they have a representative of justice and fair play to each one and all alike and atrue friend to the race. yl ee ae a -Mr. Andrew J.

BARNITZ THE POULTRY DOCTOR SAYS— Doping all the hens in a flock be cause one dies or fs sick ts 2 peculiar and foolish method of some fancier This generally puts the whole’ buncb off their feed «ind stops laying, and these conditions confirm the dope fiend’s funny opinion that they've al got ft, and so he dopes them again. It’s far better to remove, the sick fowl clean up und disinfect. study the flock and especially to scrutinize one’s metb- ods closely, for it's often: what is fed and how it’s fed that brings sickness among the flock. “Cholera” is a term often applied to poultry disease in summer, but there is mighty little cholera among the fowls of this country. ‘These intestinal troubles, this indigestion, that some- what resembles cholera, have their cause mostly in rank, rotten yards, lack of shade and greens, dirty drink- ing water, hot sleeping quarters, multt- plying Hce and mites and feeding too much heat, fat producing cora in warm weather. ‘The plaster droppings of ducks that soon cover the whole surface of a yard should be systematically removed dur ing the development of the ducklings or serious results, such as intestinal or theumstic troubles, develop or the stamina ‘of the stock is lowered. ‘We have seen 100 ducks die in two days, and an investigation showed it was not the feed, as supposed, but tbe microblal mess through which the quacks waddled every day and which fertilized the desert air with its awfu) stench. Unless very hungry, hens will not of- ten fill up on mash that fs too wet, be- cause they seem to know it is not wholesome. Same with a mash whero moldy ingredients are used. Both mean Jntestinal irritation and scours. Feeding small chicks and turkey poults sloppy feeds {s a cause of much mortality on farms. The majority of poultrymen feed nothing wet to chicks. To be right a mash must not only be composed of good grain products, but should be crumbly and of such consist- ency ag not to stick to the bands. FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. | ‘The Iowa State college at Ames now holds free poultry clinics, where poul- try diseases are diagnosed and 1n- vestigated. Solomon didn’t lve in the age of progressive poultry, culture oF he wouldn't have sald, “There's noth- ing new under the sun.” Lice and cholera germs flourish most in hot weather, and both by a litte work may be prevented. Running for remedies and cleaning up when @ flock is down with contagious disease is certainly a ridiculous and fruitless pro- ceeding and exhibition of bow not to doit. ‘The country boys and girls of Minne- sota are taking n poultry census of the state for the state agricultural college.

In every neighborhood there are al- ways some who point the long finger when any one tries to farm or dairy or ralse poultry or frult by advanced methods. These weeping Jeremiahs who are always prophesying failure for progressive people generally arrive at thelr conclusions from facts in their own unsuccessful personal experience. One hundred and twenty-four stu- dents made a specialty of poultry cul- ture at the University of Missouri tho past term. Fifty-eight Missouri coun- ties and sjx outside states were rep- resented, ‘A feast today and a famine tomor row will upset the digestion and egg production of any hen. This method neither works with hen nor men. A male bird is often rendered sterile by the strain attending too much ex- hibiting. Eggs from your pens, wheth- er set in incubators or under hens, should be tested for fertility, ‘This will often save time that would be wasted in setting worthless eggs and also selling eggs that can’t hatch. The beginner fs often disappointed when he discovers every egg doesn't hatch a winner. He may buy setting of eggs for $20 and not get a perfecto from the lot. He learns later that phe- nomenal birds are not the rule, that his best breeders do not always breed true and that, andestry will show.

Coal and charcoal are supposed to be so0d for hogs—thit is. they like it—be- ‘cause it not only stimulates the flow of the digestive juices, but because the sharp cornered pieces are tough on the ‘worms that sometimes infest the in- testinal tract. .

This not only serves to hold moisture, but gives the growing busbes needed fertilizing elements.

Horse thieves and chicken thieves are uot ehitire strangers in many rural communities, but the present season is the first that many have heard re- ports of tree thieves. In an instance of the latter kind ndted the other day a Inmdret fruit trees that had been lately planted were found mfssinz when the owner went to see what srowth ther were making. In the sare neighborhood seventy trees were taken from another farmer. Where sand or gtarel and decom- posed limestone and clay are at band there is no cheaper or better material for roai improvement. Where the road to be improved is already sandy, .the clay-limestone combination is all that is needed.

A reader of -these notes who iz a level headed and progressive farmer offers this criticism against the work and methods of the so called county agricultural expert—nawely.. tbat his efforts aré far less valuable from the, standpoint of the average farmer be- cause most of the experiments be con- ducts are on so imited and intensive a scale that they cannot be carried out In the same way on 4 quarter or balf section farm. Our friend contends that if this same expert were to take entire charge of a farnl, assuming responsi- bility for the planning of the work and for the hundred and one details, some of then often yesatlous and an- noyinz, and were to make a distinct success of it, an imporement orer hat the owner is able to do, he Would then be in a po-ition to tell the avernze farmer how to farm. The same tyvcht is expressed bya Kan- sas farndr in the followius language: “Dam in for of progress and ad- yaneement, but before ive <ct Into the espert basiness tod far J am In favor yf puitine those experts un probation. | Give each one IG) acres of land, one team, two cows. foitr sleep. provivions for one year, und, if at the expiration of five years he bas kept? out of the poorhonse, paid his taxes. kept bix lodge dues paid and his preacher, let the county in which lie Is located give him a job on the county experiment farm.” x THE CELERY BED. ‘The home garden can easily be nmde to produce all the celery that the fam- diy needs. ‘The writer has secure es- celleut results by dissing a trench three and,n half feet wide and eight or nine inches deep, spading up the hottom of this to a depth of four or five inehes and working in three or four wheelbarrow loads of well rotted mayure, The plants, which shoutd have the roots and tops pruned back. should be set in rows ten mches apart and about eight inches apart in thé row. ‘The plants should be kept hoed and free from weeds and watered dnr- ing dry weather. When planted in x trench in the manner sugzested the soil doos not dgy out so rapidly, while the earth thrown fiom the treneh may be returned ducing the tulling process, It is best to besin hilins when the plants are about ten inches hizh, de- penlinz somewhat upon whether the variety is dwarf or giant. and to give a couple of applications of earth after the first. Plants put out early in July should yield celery for the table the latter part of October, while for the winter supply they may be put out six weeks later. THE GRASSHOPPER PEST. In several sections of western states grasshoppers have done great damage within the past few weeks, and ento- mologists connected with several mid- ale state agricultural colleges have warned farmers of possible damage from the pest in the coming weeks. A spray that is safd to be effective in Killing the grasshoppers is made by mixing one pound of arsenate of Jead and two quarts of cheap molasses and diluting in sixty gallons of water. This should be applied to vegetation along roadsides «nd the edges of fields where the grasshoppers may be abundant. A dope which kills the grasshoppers when they eat it 1s made by mixing one pound of paris green in forty Pounds of bran and adding enough wa- ter and molasses to make it a sticky mass. This should be scattered in small quantities at intervals of three or four rods wherever the hoppers are abundant Another mixture equal- ly good is made by substituting fresh horse manure in place of bran on the above recipe and adding salt. TWO RECORD BREAKERS. Professor Rice of the poultry depart- ment of the State College of Agricul- ture at Cornel! university, New York. has a couple of hens of which he may well feel proud. One of these, Cornell Supreme, has laid 660 exes iu a period of three years, the highest sustained preluction of which he has been able to find any autheutie record. These ees weished “$6.19 pounds, or more tl n twenty-five times the weight of the hen Another hen, Cornell Sur- Prise, has laid 502 exzs fy the three year period. a remarkable feature about her performanve belng that she Iald more exes each successive year, her score for the three years heing 180, 186 an? 10% eges respectively. The performance of these two hens leads thelr owner to the couclusion that a hen can sustain a high exg production for a period of at lenst three years and that such a breed can be developed by selection which will add greatly to the value of the poultry business of the country. 5 . WHY SOME SUCCEED. Success in most any line of agricul- tural endeavor or in animal or poultry husbandry is rarely due so much to exceptiona! opportunity or especially favorable environment or to unusual ability on the part of the operator as to the simple traits of persistence, ap- Plcation to details and the use of a falr moasnre of good sense and intcl- Higence. Chiefly does It follow sticking to one thing, whatever the drawbacks for the time being may be. Many peo- ple make a fizzle of their undertakings by dropping an enterprise just“ns they have got through the tiresome and ex- perience getting stage. They take a new tack and drop it at about the same stage, and so on, ‘The net result fs that they are most of their time gaining experience at a high price, from which they get littleor no benefit, A SERMON’ FROM NATURE.” + Let us be cheerful like the birds. -- - Old robin, singing there, = Has little hungry mouths to feed * And other earthly care, Yet he starts singing at the dawn, And when the sun has gone He sits beside his nesting mate * And sings an even song.

A dog or a boy chasing the flock can so disturb a flock of market ducks as to put them out of condition. Same way in’ the laying house. A disturbance that puts ‘the hens ou nerve knocks the egg ‘record. Some one says, “The best way to tell whether an egs contains a rovster or a hen Ig to hatch the egg under a hen and watch the chick for a year, and if it crows it’s a rooster, and if It lays eggs it's a hen.” It is occastonally thé case that a breeding pen contains hens, that are not popular with the male or which give bim the cold shoulder. . testing of the exss will show some of the eggs dnfertile, and they may be easily traced, Such hens should be mated to another male, as it is seldom they Become rec- onciled to the Ticad of the harem or the male makes up with them. When the American Poultry associa- tion met at Nashville, Tenn. most restaurants put on lots of ebieken frills, and chicken soup, chicken salad, chiek- en sundwikh and stuffed eggs were on about every bill of fare. The mem- bers felt like the boy who said to the friend whe entertained him: “Don't want none of that. Got plenty of that at home.” The Single Comb Brown. Leghorn sceis {o be dropping out of sight, very few being seen at shows, and one sel- dom sees a flock of them. One reason for this is because show requirements are such that the ridiculous double mating system must be resorted to to get birds to win. This -unnatoral method applied to Barred Rocks has also retired them from the head of the procession. A way to interest that boy and to keep him busy and happy fs to sive him an interest in the flock, whether chickens, turkeys, dncks or geese. Make him a member of the firm, give him part of the profit and watch him get busy. Busy boys, with work that gives them a sense of proprictorship and a chance to-mako money, are not among our dime novel readers nor_as- soclates of the bad boys of the streets. A fancier was recently tried at Wil- Namsport, Pa., for shooting and killing a chicken thief. The jury brought in a verdict of not guilty after five-min- utes’ deliberation. Judges in Pennsyl- vania are zctting away from the idea that sterling a horse and a chicken does hot show the same moral turpt-| tude. and juries uo longer consider chicken stealing-a laughiuz matter. 74m <<. ] “+ PICTURE FRAMES ial i We make a specialty of framing diplomas, marriage i licenses and pictures of all sizes.
