The Savannah Tribune VOLUME XXVIII No Parade Labor Day FIRST TIME IN YEARS UNIONS WILL NOT SHOW Many Attractions to be Given At the Various Parks—Family and Private Outings to be Enjoyed by Scores—Theatres To Have Matinees. For the first time in many a year the public will have to forego the pleasure of witnessing a street parade on Labor Day by the various labor unions of the city. The decision of the unions not to give a street parade this year was reached at a recent meeting, most of the men expressing themselves in a manner which showed that they were against holding their annual display this year. Howeyer, there will be many attractions at the various parks in and around the city, which will probably be well patronized. Scores of family and private picnics will be enjoyed and the day will undoubtedly be one of genuine pleasure. The theatres will all have special matinees in the afternoon. Locals . Mrs. Helen F.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1913 Brilliant Session Negro Business League Brilliant Session Negro Business League DR. WASHINGTON REELECTED PRESIDENT Most Largely Attended Session In History or Body-League Entertained by John Wana-maker-Next Meeting at Muscogee [By R. W. Thomson.] Philadelphia, Pa., August 23. Surrounded by the atmosphere that generated the spirit of freedom, fraternity and enlightenment; exemplified in its highest sense by William Penn, Benjamin Franklin, Thaddeus Stevens and John Wanamaker, and within the shadow of Independence Hall, where Liberty Bell proclaimed the birth, of the American Republic, the fourteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League was held this week. It was exceptionally fitting that the best managed, most largely attended and most profitable gathering of the commercial forces of the Negro race should be held on the fiftieth anniversary of our people's emancipation on the spot where the anti-slavery movement had its inceptib, and where the Declaration of Independence was framed and finds its most effective interpretation. Beginning with Monday, when the advance guard, in the form of the National Negro Press Association, held a two days' session at the Cherry Street Memorial Baptist Church, followed on Wednesday with the meeting of the National Negro Business League proper, supplemented by the conferences of the Bankers, the Undertakers, the Lawyers and other affiliated bodies, the week has been the most brilliant known in the history of the City of Brotherly Love. Philadelphia's immense population embraces the most generous white friends of our people and justly enjoys the reputation of having within its borders more progressive, hospitable and cultured colored people than can be found anywhere else between the oceans. The flawlessly executed program put forward during the present week is ample proof of their ability and disposition to "do things" in the very best way, and the occasion has gone farther than any previous meeting in welding between the races a stronger bond of confidence and respect, mutuality of interest and sympathetic co-operation. Out of it is bound to flow results that will prove helpful to both. The thousands of-delegates and visitors are leaving for their homes delighted with the cordial reception that has been extended them. Dr. Booker T. Washington has thus voiced the sentiments of his host of followers, and the heartiest of thanks are being uttered upon all sides. This wonderful man, powerful in initiation and marvelous in execution of large affairs, has been the central figure of this great gathering, and the ovation tendered him by the 5,000 people who crowded into the Academy of Music on Wednesday evening to listen to his annual address testified in no uncertain Scott-Land Lots For Sale FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY LOTS PUT ON MARKET New Sub-Division Situated on Middle Ground Road—Mr. Duncan J. Scott is Seller— Messr.. Jacobs & McDowell, Agents. During the past week there has been placed on the market a new sub-division of land south of the city, which is known as Scott- Land. The new sub-division contains 420 lots and is situated at the intersection of the Middle Ground road and DeRenne avenue. That there will be a great demand for these lots there is not the slightest doubt as this property is very conveniently situated and it will greatly enhance in value. Mr. Duncan J. Scott is seller of this land and Messrs. George W. Jacobs and C. A. R. McDowell are agents. For a further description of this property see large "ad" on page five. terms as to his standing with the masses and the classes of the nation. The "Wizard" grows in popularity with the years, because the real breadth of his propaganda of moral and economic development for his people is becoming more and more generally understood. He advances steadily in the affection of the American people because he is genuine—sincere, earnest and practical. At the Academy of Music he again delivered "the speech of his life," and the inspiring and widely circulated address is being read today in every household in the land. It was an eloquent plea for the substantial uplift of the Negro race, emphasizing "back to the soil" as the most direct route to enduring prosperity and racial happiness. A STORY TO BE TOLD ON THE IN- STALLMENT PLAN. This is not intended to be a "news report" of the Philadelphia meeting of the National Negro Business League. It is but a moving picture of the principal features. The incidents connected with these sessions and the endless variety of personalities that now make up the warp and woof of this modern Cosmopolis have become too voluminous to be incorporated in a single story, if any writer hopes to do justice to the situation. The vast amount of material furnished by the panoramic scenes and thrilling episodes will supply data for a score of interesting stories, and it is our hope to spread them to the country on the installment plan, realizing that "news is news" until it is told to every audience in the land. The picture is too big to be painted upon a single canvas. Much has already been told in the advance notices and in the current reports, the bulk of the story remains to be told. At the opening session Wednesday morning at Musical Fund Hall, a large audience assembled at an early hour. Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, president of the local branch of the National Business League, called the meeting to or- der, and delivered a felicitous address of welcome, to which Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman, president of the National Hair Vim Chemical Company, of Washington, D.C., responded, bringing down the house by the gracious, yet vigorous, manner in which she discussed the duty of the race in its present crisis. Dr. Booker T. Washington took the chair amid a storm of applause—and the greatest meeting of the League was on. During the three days practical men of business representing every line of endeavor, recited the silent points in their struggle upward, and exchanged experiences, all of which was of the most encouraging nature. The stories combined wit, humor, pathos and genuine information. Dr. Washington's "quizzies' brought out many facts overlooked in the formal talks, and nothing was left to be desired when the end came. The address of welcome at the Academy of Music was delivered by the Hon. Mr. Porter, Director of Public Safety of Philadelphia, representing Mayor Rudolph Blankenburg, who was unavoidably absent. DRAMATIC SCENE AT GREAT STORE OF JOHN WANAMATER. Without doubt the most thrilling and dramatic episode of the week's series was- the visit to the great store of the Hon. John Wanamaker, on Thursday afternoon, and the touching exercises that took place in the Egyptian Room. The entire delegation came to the massive emporium of trade at 1 o'clock, when the business was in full operation. As the long procession entered the building the great organ, which came from St. Louis, filling twenty-eight cars, pealed out a selection from an old music master, and throughout the twelve stories polite attaches pointed out the various departments and their inexhaustible contents. Then came the program in the famous Egyptian Room, where another great organ rendered exquisite music. The place was a bower of beauty—a stately edifice within a mighty pile of marble and granite—awe-inspiring. Former Congressman George H. White, Register of the Treasury J.C. Napier, and Mr. J. H. Blodgett, of Florida, delivered addresses, paying eloquent tributes to the philanthropic and Christian virtues of the merchant prince who had built up this model of business enterprise, and Dr. Booker T. Washington introduced the wonderful genious of the world of commerce, the Hon. John Wanamaker. WANAMAKER FOR PRESIDENT: WANAMAKER FOR PRESIDENT. In his exceptionally able address, Mr. Napier brought the audience to its feet, with wild cheers of approval, by referring to Mr. Wanamaker as "the logical nominee of the Republican party for President of the United States in 1916," and as the foremost financier of the day came forward the reception accorded him indicated that the opinion of Mr. Napier as to the presidential availability of their host had not been overdrawn. The address of Mr. Wanamaker stands in a class alone, and must form the subject of another story. It pointed the Negro to the heights and bade him go upward through character, intelligence and industry. He spoke touchingly of the late Robert C. Ogden, his former business associate, and told of the constructive work they had set out NUMBER 50 Work Central Park School to Begin Work Central Park School to Begin FIRST BUILDING WILL BE STARTED MONDAY New School Will Fill Great Need in this Section—Central Building to Cost $10,000—All Buildings of Brick—School to Open this Year. Work on Central Park Norman and Industrial school, located at Central Park four miles from the city on the White Bluff road, will begin Monday morning. The erection of this school will be of great benefit to this section and will be the means of taking care of the large overflow of students which occurs at Morris Brown every year. The new school, ofcourse, is being erected under the auspices of the A.M. E. church of Georgia, and the ground was donated by Central Park Land Corporation, of which Mr. G. H. Bowen is agent. The school when completed will consist of three brick buildings, the central building of which will begin Monday. This structure will be erected at a cost of ten thousand dollars, material for which arrived on the ground this week. Contractor C. W. Welch, one Jacksonville Florida's leading contractors, will have charge of the building. It is hoped to have this building completed in ninety days. Old Folks and Orphan Home Meeting On Wednesday night September 3rd, there will be a meeting at Second Baptist Church of the Old Folks and Orphan Home Association. The public is invited to attend. Eureka Club Election The Eureka Aid and Athletic Club held a spirited election on last Monday night at their rooms in Masonic Temple building. There were two tickets in the field, the Bull Mouse and the People's Party. The Bull Mouse party elected the majority of the officers. The election created quite a sensation and the outcome was eagerly watched by many. Following are the officers elected: W. H. Norman, president; H. S. Scott, vice president; H. T. Singleton, financial secretary; I. H. P. Goodwin, advocate; C. M. Mathis, treasurer; J. A. Gadsden, chairman house committee. A Thrilling Conan Doyle Story. A Thrilling Conan Doyle Story. One of the most remarkable stories ever written by A. Conan Doyle, the creator of the immortal Sherlock Holmes, will begin in the Sunday Magazine and Story Section of the New York World on Sunday, Sept. 7. It is entitled "The Poison Belt" and is of absorbing interest. Do not fail to order the Sunday World of Sept. 7. This is a most thrilling story and you should not fail to read it. Be sure to get your order in to the newsdealer early, as there will be a great demand for the issues containing "The Poison Belt." Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Myers spent a very pleasant day last Sunday at Charleston, S. C. Mrs. Marie Wilkins left on Wednesday of last week to visit at Roanoke, Va., and Columbus, Ohio. to do for humanity. "Success is not a matter of race or face," he said. "It is a matter of grace." At the conclusion of his master presentation of the case of the Negro, Mr. Wanamaker had attendants bring forth a painting by the talented Negro artist, for which he had paid $5,000. It was the portrait of the "Mother and the Christ Child." Other pictures he had bought of Mr. Tanner were referred to, and he urged all to visit the portion of the store in which they were permanently displayed. GOES TO MUSCOGEE NEXT. The next session of the League will be held in August, 1914, at Muscogee, Oklahoma, with a side trip to the wonderful Negro town of Beley, in the same State. Dr. Booker T. Washington was re-elected president, and has held that position continuously since the formation of the League at Boston in 1900. Among the Masons. darkness hung over fis Ul See “God said, Let there be light, and’ there was light!” Beauty and loveliness haye hung over all that God lms created since the first gleam of light was seen, which made “the hosts of heaven to shout for joy,” all the earth has sung the same song of love and light, ever since.—Masonic Light. TUL THREEFOLD CALL. The members of a lodge called outto attend a Masonic funeral not only owe it to their deceased brother to accompany in goodly numbers his remains to the grave, but they owe it as a token of re- spect and obedience to their Mas- ter. Heis entitled to their sup- port and encouragement, He has requested their attendance. It is as much their official duty as it is -his to be present. Their brother is dead; their Master is engaged in official ministration: their lodge is called bodily and publicly be- fore the world; and yet many members neglect this threefold call.—Queensland Freemason. LODGE OF KING SOLOMON’S TEMPLE- After protracted negotiations it was decided recently to form a Freemason‘s Lodge, mainly of re- search, to meet at Jerusalem, and to be called “‘The Lodge of King Solomon’s Temple.” The mem- bers were to be drawn from all parts of ths world. Owing to the political unrest‘in the East the promoters were advised to post- pone the actual establishment of the lodge in Jerusalem for a few years and to meet meanwhile some- where under the jurisdiction of the Masonic Grand Lodge of England. Tho promoters. after much de- liberation, decided to have thenew lodge'consecrated in the Province of Cheshire. The charter was granted last month by the Grand Lodge of England. Lord Egerton himself will perform the ceremo- ny. ‘The founders of the new lodge number eighty, Many of them are drawn from distant parts of the Empire.—London Stand- ard. WHAT PROMINENT MASONS SAY OF TH GRaFT. Let us be more ready to note the virtues of our brethren, less willing to-call attention to defects which attach to our common hu- man nature. Let us keep in mind the pledges which we have taken as Masons, and so be a little more considerate and kind to one an- other.—Henry W-. Rugg. The glory of life is to love, not to ba loved; to give, not to get; to serve, not to be served. Tobe astrong hand in the dark to an- other in the time of meed; to bea cup of strength toa human soul in a crisis of weakness is to know the glory of life.—Rev. Hugh Black. In Roman times the power of arms and violence made the proud boast. “I aia Roman citizen,” a buckler of defense against the at- tacks of the most daring and un- scrupulous. For greater ages of the power of loving brotherhood has given greater strength through outa greater world than the Ro- man ever knew, to the words, “I am a Master Mason.”—George Washington. The principle of Masonry is nothing untried. It has stood the test, and we, as Masons, need not hesitate to live its teachings and preach its doctrine and show our belief in God, who knows our hearts and desires to rule them that, we may be true Masons. Let us study our principles more and thus be better fitted for our spe- cial work.—M. E Raftery. Brethren, perfection in the work and lectures is a consummation earnestly to be hoped for. But if this is to be obtained at the sacri- fice of the great moral principles which Masonry teaches, they are purchased at too great a cost. We should never lose sight of theseimportant lessons, nor for- get that our ritual, beautiful as it is, and as desirable as it may be to superior manhood these principles have always attracted to the order. > - ‘The‘naturai impulses of the soul in its conception of moral obliga- tion of right and wrong ar3 the underlying principles upon which the magnificent structure stands. Masonry responds to the natural beatings of the human heart in its aspirations for fraternal fellow- ship and the nevelopment of higher impulses of man’s better nature and with its virtues and tenets of morality, its teachings of patriot- ism, brotherly love, relief and truth, it is the noblest factor time has eyer produced for the mould- ing of the character of man.—P. J. Martin, Grand Master of Iowa. Local Happenings Boiled Down to Hasty Readers. The city has an option of thirty days on the wharves between Drayton and Bull’ streets, for $55,000. It is stated that the city will make the purchase as a step toward municipal docks. Bertha McMorris, the white woman who has ‘a resort in the midst of respectable colored prop- erty owners, was fined in the city court on Tuesday for keeping a lewd house. Efforts will be made to get rid of her from the neigh- borhood. Several white gambling clubs were recently raided. J.J. Curray, a white man, was given four months on the Brown Farm for beating his wife. Work will soon begin on the destructor plant. Mr, J. I. Wyllie died Tuesday morning at his late residence, Waters Avenue. He was buried Wednesday afternoon. Mr. H. ¥. Train, for many years principal of the Boys High school, died on Monday last. Mr. Richard Mosely, while greasing a track on the Central of Georgia Ry., had both of his feet badly mashed by a passing train. Second Baptist Church, The attendance at the morning services on Sunday morning was excellent. The pastor, Rev. D. Augustine Reid, preached from Gen, 35:1 subject, “The Forgotten Vow.” The sermon was very in- structive, from beginning to end. At 8:30 p. m., his subject was “The Remitding of the Forgot- ten Vow.” Services are short and good music is rendered by the choir. The public is cordially in- yited to attend all services. B. Y. Pp. U. at 7 p. m., and Sunday school at 9 a. m. F, B.B. Church. On Sunday morning the seryices were conducted by Rev. C. Wright After reading the lesson his text was taken from St. Matthew 13:2. The subject was “The Sower.” The various kind of soils into which the sower sowed his seed, the growth of the plants, and the fruit yielded were beautifully illustrated. ‘The choir sang ‘tSow- ing the Seed.” There was a very large attendance ab the commu- nion services in the afternoon. Quite a number of visitors were present. At night the church was crowded. The pastor read for the lesson St. Matt. 5:1-16. His text was from Ist. John 1:5. The sub- ject was “God is Light.” From self experience, he describe yery plainly how God gives His: light to every christian who earnestly seeks it. The choir sang, ‘‘ Walk. in the Light.” Attend our services atany time. You are always wel- come. Beth-Edea Baptist Church Services were well attended Sunday and two very excellent sermons were delivered. The con- gregation was much impressed with the thought brought out by the pastor, Rev. N. M. Clarke, Sunday morning, that as Jesus wept over Jerusaleum, and put forth efforts to reclaim her, we as christians should weep over.condi- tions in our city and put forth efforts to reclaim her, we should begin at the church as Christ did.

Text of the Lesson, Ex. xix, 1-6; 13- 21—Memory_ Verses, 5, 6—Golden Text, Heb. xii, 28—Commentary Pre- pared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. When the Lord spoke to Moses out of the burning bush at Horeb, the mouutalo of God, as he kept the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, He said to him,,“When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt ye shall serve God upon this-mountain” (Ex. ill, 1, 2, 12). Now, after about three moriths, Isrgel {s encamped at the mount of ‘God, and Jethro came to him, bringing Zipporah, his ~wife, and his two sons, Gershom and Eliezer, the former sig- nifying “a stranger there” and the latter “my God is our help” (margin of xvill, 3, 4). As they communed to- gether of all that God had done for Israel, Jethro said: “Now ‘I know that the Lord is greater than all gods, and he offered a, burnt offering and sacri- fices to God. Then Aaron came and alf the elders of Israel to eat bread with Bfoses’ father-in-law before God” (xvi, 7-12). As Jethro saw Moses spending the whole day from morning nt evening Ustening to the peoplé's affairs, he said, “Thou wilt surely wear away; * ¢ * this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to’ perform it thyself alone” (xvill, 18). And he sug- gested a better way, subject to God's approval, which Moses accepted (xvill, 1827. Having reached Sinai and Horeb in the third month, Moses went up unto God, and the Lord gave him & message for Israel, which has also a most important heart word for every believer, and first, “I bare you on eagles’ wings.” With this we must compare Deut. xxxil, 11, 12, and note the process of teaching young eagles to fly. Then in Isa. xl, 31, the secret of flying; then in Luke xvil, 37, the eagle saints caught up to meet the Lord in the air. The words “brought you unto myself” (Ex. xix, 4) give the key ta al His dealings with"us, for thelr intention is even, and moro and more, to wean us from all people and cireumstances unto Himself that we may find our home in God and our all in Himself, living together with Him until some day we shall be ever with the Lord (I Thess. v, 10; iv, 17). The words “a peculiar treasure unto me above all people” () indicate a high calling and privilege which Israel Gd not begin to appreciate, nor do we. Sev the repetition of the wonderful words in Deut. vil, 6, and the full realization in Mal. iif, 17, and margin, for only in the kingdom at His com- ing again shall {t be fully seen. Note the transfer of some privileges to the church int Matt. xxi, 43; Tit. il, 14; I Pet. i, 9, and may He make us all willing to be set apart wholly for Him- self (Ps. tv, 3. We are too apt to say thonghtlessly and bastily, as Israel did, “All that the Lord hath spoken we will do” (verse 8-and chapter xxiv, 3. 7). or as Peter said, not knowing himself or bis weakness, “Lord, I am ready to go with Thee, both into pris- on and to death” (Luke xxl, 33). We are slow to learn that in us—that Js, in our flesh—there dwelleth no good thing and that we are not sufficient of our- selves to think anything as of~our- selves (Rom. vil, 18; II Cor. if, 5). ‘The rest of our lesson is a third day morning story (verses 1621), but a story of thunder and lightning and fire and smoke and earthquake and a voice that made the people tremble and say | to Moses, “Speak thou with us and we will hear, but let not God speak with us lest we die” (xx, 19), to which Moses replied, “Fear not, for God is come to prove you and that His ‘fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not” (xx, 20). ‘Ten times it is written that God spoke to them out of the midst .of the fire (Deut iv, 12, 15, 33, 26; v, 4, 22, 24, 26; Ix, 10; x, 4), and it ig also written, “Our God fs 2 consum- ing fre” (Deut. iv, 4), We shall un- derstand this more fully in our next two lessons concerning the words that were spoken out of the midst of the fire, and-we shall see the contrast be- tween God speaking out of the midst of*the fire and from off the mercy seat between the cherubim. God speaking through Moses and not directly to the people fs like speak- ing to us in Christ. who is our mercy seat. The saying in Ex. xx, 21, that Moses drew near unto the thick dark- mess where God was seems at first sight a Uttle perplexing, for it is writ- ten that “God fs light, and in Him is no darkness at all” (I John 1,5), but it is the human and the divine side. It we would walk in the light we must see things from God's standpoint, pot from.ours. How often we are ro- minded of the greatness of Moses as a prophet whom the Lord kiew face to face (Deut. xxxiv, 10), but we tum Be A ae TR Ne erg Se MEN TAKE NOTICE! eeRaa IF YOU ARE TIRED of wearing ready made or mis- Fe ON fit clothes let us make eS 2 Re Beery pera, YOUR NEW CLOTHES Sey. ee ek WE GUARANTEE A PERFECT FIT sie Been?

Very inadequate ideas will always satisfy them. .On these inadequate ideas Teposes and must repose the general practice of “the wet That is as much as saying that whoever sets himself to see things as they are will find him- self one of a very small circle, but it is only by this small circle reso- lutely doing its own work that adequate ideas will ever get current at all—Matthew Amold. ~" @einng Ste Gana ‘There were bold thieves and bolt Methods in the earlier days in Holborn Here is an example: Said a stout, asthmatic old gentlemar to a well dressed stranger who wa: passing: “A rascal has stolen my hat I tried to overtake him, but—I’'m s0 ou’ of breath—I can’t stir another inch.’ The stranger surveyed the other with critical eye. The victim was puffing and panting as for dear life. In the Pleasantest tone in the world the stran ger said, “Then I'll be hanged, old boy, Af I don’t bave your wig!” So saying he snatched that article from the suf ferer's head and departed like the wind, leaving him with head as bare as a2 babe's.—St. James’ Gazette.

In Kansas City a woman was suing the city for damages because she had “tripped over a step in the sidewalk ‘The attorney who represented the city -said all through the trial that the step was no higher than the step to the witness chair in front of the jury, and “you know, gentlemen of the jury,” he said scornfully, “no person would be kely to trip over that step there.” A moment later the attorney started to pass the witness chafr, stumbled over that very step and fell sprawling. He arose, red with shame and anger, , and the roar of Jaughter from the jury and spectators convinced him that he had lost his case. London's Actors’ Church. Covent Garden ts one of the sights 0!

The classics, more than any mod: erm literature, teach us art, and art is the consclous purpose of man to make this world more beautiful. Philty Sidney says that the object of poetry ls to make this too much loved world more lovely; I should extend his de fnition a little further and say that the object of art is to make this world more lovely, more lovable and more loved.—Henry D. Sedgwick in the At: lantic. ¢ Use For Old Mat. If you have a rubber doormat you are not using for its specific purpose or if you can get another mat for the door and put the rubber mat in the Kitchen you will not regret the change.

Not- withstanding so much has been said and written about women sitting to do what work they ean, the majority will stand, and if anything so easy to pro- vide as 2 rubber mat will add to their comfort it should be furnished.

St. Sepulcher’s, the city church at the end of Holborn viaduct, whose churchyard Is open to the public, dates, as the name implies, from the time of the first crusade. Of the present edl- fice, which bad suffered sadly from “restorers,” only the fine tower, one of London's landmarks, retains medieval masonry. From the top of this tower “rich Dodington,” the brother-in-law of Walsingham, threw himself to avoid a chancery lawsuit. “If I do break my neck,” sald Bacon to Queen Elizabeth, “I sball do {¢ in a manner as Mr. Dodington did it, who walked on the battlements of the church many days and took a survey where he should fall."—London Chronicle, ; Light From Meteors, The trains of light left by meteors ate often visible for several seconds after the meteor has yanisbed.

H. BUTLER Asso. Editor and Manager Published Every Saturday 1009 West Broad Street. Phone 2171. Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga., as Second-Class mail matter. Saturday August 30rd, 1913 We do Not Delve in Scandal In some quarters the management of The Tribune has been severely criticised for not publishing an account of the raid on a certain house Sunday night before last. One of the principles of The Tribune is never to delve in scandal. It does no good. We always admonish our young people to be careful of their actions and will ever do so. The Tribune enters the homes where there are many tender minds and is read by every member of the family. A paper containing scandals has no place in such homes. We do not care how much we are censured along this line. We will continue sticking to a principle and give our people a clean paper void of scandal and sensational articles. Much to our delectation, the information has reached us that through the effort of Senator Clapp and others to make the administration show its hand in the segregation policy now in vogue in the treasury and other departmental branches of the government at Washington, D. C., the much talked of "For Colored" signs said to have been placed in the treasury department by order of the First Assistant Secretary of the Treasury with the sanction of his chief, have been removed. It is also said that the treasury department officials in their attempt to account for the presence of the "For Colored" signs in their department, made the very weak explanation that they were there without any formal order being made to have them placed in the department. That the signs have been removed, shows that the much talked of complete degradation of the Negro under Democratic regime is not yet at hand. True it is that we have lost the best governmental offices, including the ministership to Hayti, that we have had. It is also true that we have been abused and humiliated many times since March 4th last, yet we can but feel that there are still a few friends of the race in high station, who will see to it that in so far as in them lies, that our people will receive justice and consideration. The Negro-hating demagogues and fire-eaters may think that now is his time to run rough-shod over the target of his spleen; that under Democratic rule it is now or never to get in his lick against the Negro; yet the fact remains that there are to be found among all of the parties, believers in fair play to the Negro and a square deal to all. Senator Clapp is not championing a lost cause, nor is he alone in his attempt to see that justice and fair play is given the Negro. Meanwhile, the Negro himself is laying his political wares hard by with a view to remember those who remember him in this the most crucial period in his political history since the signing of the proclamation of emancipation which made him a freedman and a citizen. Ever and anon the scales of justice balance properly, prejudice, influence, wealth and public sentiment to the contrary, notwithstanding. Especially is this true of the Frank murder trial which culminated in Atlanta during the week with a verdict of guilty without a recommendation for mercy for the accused. Frank was charged with a heinous crime. Surrounded by the best brain of the legal profession and in absence of any direct evidence as to his guilt save that given by an illiterate Negro employee of his, he sought to prove an alibi. In this he failed. The testimony of his Negro employee whom he used to assist him in covering all traces of his crime and of whom he attempted to make a scape goat afterwards, had its proper weight with the jury. As a result Fran is sentenced to pay the penalty of his crime on the gallows on October 10th next. Complex and intricate as has been this trial, it is not without its lessons. Conley, a Negro, was a janitor in the factory of which Frank was manager. According to his own testimony, he was quite often called upon by his employer "to keep watch for him" while he (Frank) engaged himself in some questionable conduct with various individuals who visited him. No doubt, Conley felt that as a hired man of Frank's that it was his duty to do whatever his employer bade him regardless as to the nature of the task assigned him. No doubt, there was little pricking of conscience within him, since he felt that in serving his master and employer in any capacity that he was earning his week's pay. Illiterate as he was, it was quite natural for him to suppose this. Yet, he should not have. There is a great deal of difference between the performance of regular janitor service and that which as outer guard, Conley frequently rendered his master, Leo. M. Frank. In helping to make it possible for his employer to engage in questionable conduct without interruption Conley did that which was neither right nor proper and which could not have been exacted of him had he shown a dislike or disinclination to engage either directly or indirectly in anything bestial in its nature. This he failed to do. To our young men engaged in the various fields of activity as employees, the Frank-Phagan murder trial presents a lesson. No matter what inducements may be offered one by him for whom he works, none should be of sufficient influence to cause one to share in any way in criminality. One's sense of honor and respect for law and common decency should always be of sufficient strength as to cause him to refuse to be a party to any crime committed by his employer or anybody else. One should do his SEMI-ANNUAL STATEMENT Semi-annual statement for the six months ending June 30, 1913 of the condition of the GUARANTY MUTUAL LIFE AND HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY, organized under the laws of the State of Georgia, made to the Governor of the State of Georgia, pursuant to the laws of said State.

May the time be at least far distant when one of us again will allow ourselves to compromise our conscience as Conley did in order to please an employer in his desire to gain assistance and protection in a campaign of sin and immorality. St. John Baptist Church The public is cordially invited to attend the services at St. John Baptist Church, Hartridge Street. On tomorrow morning the subject to be preached by the pastor, Rev Wm.

And Moses cast his rod upon the ground and saw it transformed into a writhing serpent before his startled caze. What is that in thine pocket? And he said "a quarter," which if paid weekly to an agent of the Ga., Mutual Insurance Company will bring forth consolation and comfort to distressed widows and orphans. And more still for each week it will pay for twenty-five cents worth of stimulation for Negro business, which promises to be the most powerful attraction for racial recognition upon which we have to depend, and it is with you alone to determine whether it shall be a glorious triumph or only a withered stick.

In Memoriam Who departed his life August 28, 1912, Was a loving son and brother. He is gone but not forgotten, For we miss the smiling face, Miss his cherished step so welcome, None can ever fill his place. Gone! but ah, the God eternal, And the angels all above, Welcomed him to be forever, In their midst of heavenly love. Oh Supreme Eternal Maker, Let us all yield to Thy will, And when death will come to claim us, May Christ answer, "Peace be still." WILLIAM BARTLETT, Who departed this life August 29. 1912, Thou art gone to rest dear one, Where sorrow, trouble, sickness are no more, To a land so fair, the angel Came and took you away, To dwell with the saints above. Thy place in the home is vacant, A voice is stilled on earth, Yet rich with the blessings above. Sleep on, dear one, until I meet thee, Where parting is no more, There the angels shall reunite us, Sleep on in Jesus arms, For I will meet thee in heaven. By his loving wife, In sad but loving memory of my beloved husband, RICHARD BARNES, Who departed this life Sept. 2, 1911. Not with depression and low spirit, did he yield as prey to death, but holding firmly to the unseen realities of heaven, he calmly submitted and now rests in God's spiritual universe. Weeping for one so dearly loved. Too soon it seemed we had to part, To see him hid beneath the clay Sharp sorrows fill the aching heart. I know thou hast gone to the place of thy rest, Then why should I be so sad? I know thou hast gone where the weary are blest, Where the mourner looks up and is glad Devoted wife, Mrs. R. L. Barnes. He has not quite left us, my friend who has passed, Through the shadows of death to the sunlight above. A thousand sweet memories are hold- ing you fast.

Whiskers. “Whiskers” was a word formerly used to designate the hair on the up- per lip. Scott more than once speaks of “whiskers on the upper lip,” and so does Defoe in “Robinson Crusoe.” Jobnson defined a “whisker” as “the hair growing on the upper lip or cheek: unshaven, a mustachio.” It seems to have taken its name from a fancied resemblance to a small brush, to “whisk” properly meaning to sweep, and a “whisker” having been a par ticular kind of feather brush; also, in the slang of a former time, a switch or rod. In the seventeenth century a “whisker” signified, among other things, a brazen Me, a “whopper.” The First Candlestick. "The first candlestick was a boy.

Eighty per cent of the total were of last year's crop. Colora- do furnished 1,500,000 of the number, and it 1s estimated that they netted the breeders on an average of $1 per head. Experiments conducted by the Ohio Agricultural college show that the val- ue of the annual manurial product of a steer is $1 per head more when fed on cement floors than when fed on earth floors; also that the least amount of nitrogen is lost from the manure if the animals are kept on it or If st ts kept in a moist, well packed condition.

If dry weather per- sists, of course, the plants will bave to be watered, but this will not be for long. The plants should be cultivated frequently enough to keep the soll mel- low and should be kept free from ‘weeds. The following recipe, recommended by the domestic science department of the Minnesota College of Agriculture, is said to be entirely effective in driving away all kinds of ants. Take equal parts of tartar emetic and sugar, mix dry, then moisten with water to the consistency of sirup, and put in a dish in the runway of the ants. They will eat freely of it, then depart, often for the rest of the season. The dish may be set away when dry, and when need- ed again ft is ready for use by adding water and a little more sugar. The mixture should be kept out of the reach of chilgren, as it is poisonous. ‘Where a boy shows a disposition ta work and earn all or a portion of his spending money it is a pretty good idea for the parent to encourage him in it, even if the financial condition of the family does not make the earning of such money a necessity. ‘The curse of thousands of boys when they arrive at the age of twenty-one ix thelr igno- rance of the value of a dollar in terms of the work required to enrn it coupled with a lack of habits of Industry and persistence.

He planted tho tiled area to corn last May, and he says if noth- ‘ing happens he will have close to a hundred bushels of corn per acre. If these expectations are realized, or any- where near it, the cost of this tiling improvement will be more than paid for this first season. More than this, the system of tiling which does so much fo? a low piece of land in a wet season tends to make it more mellow and easily worked during a dry season. ‘Where land has reached 2 value of from $100 to $200 per acre it is simply ‘wretched management to leave the low places untiled.

Of all the snakes that inhabit North America there are really only four that are dangerous. These are thg copperhead, the moccasin, the rat. tlesnake and a little snake known as the coral snake. Of course there are a number of different species of the rat- tler (about thirty), but they inhabit different parts of the country and are all to be known from the fact that they “rattle” when approached. All the rest of our snakes are harmless. * Cin Teta » In ‘America, up to tho time of the Revolution, nearly ‘all the tobacco was grown in Virginia, Maryland and the Carolinas, New England began the commercial growing of tobacco abont 1660, but, finding the industry unprofit- able, it languished, and was finally dls- continued.

A youthful aspirant consulted a suc- cessful woman author about.the art of succeeding in Uterature, The author’s reply, says the Manchester Guardian, was a curious variant on the famous advice in “When a Man’s Single.” “You need indomitable perseverance, a typewriter and a mangle,” said the writer, “Do you’ mean I had better take in washing?* asked the aspirant. “Nonsense. You need the mangle to take the creases out of your manu: scripts.

They have an unusual mode of burial in Portugal. Instead of head- stones and monuments of the grave ‘yards of other countries the cemetery of Lisbon shows rows and rows of tiny chapels, ranged in long avenues bordered by cypress trees. The Portu- guese are reluctant to bury their dead out of sight, and these chapels serve as mortuaries for the coffins, which are placed on shelves within. Tbrouzh the fron grilles the eye discerns small altars and flowers gleaming through the subdued light of the Interiors.

If the golden wax beans are planted at suitable intervals the family table may be kept supplied with this fine vegetable until frost comes. It is a debatable question whether in the end the housewife gains anything when she hurries with her work unduly so that she may have more time to rest. The sooner now that the hens and roosters are disposed of that one does not plan to keep during the coming winter the better off the chicken account will be. Missouri farmers are naturally feeling good over the biggest wheat crop ever raised in the history of the state — estimated at 40,000,000 bushels as against 22,000,000 bushels last year. During 1912 Oregon produced dairy products worth $19,304,384. Notwithstanding this large output, the state consumed thirty-five carloads of imported butter and fifteen carloads of imported cheese. Water at a temperature of 150 degrees is recommended as an easy method of getting rid of the cabbage worms. It is hot enough to fix the worms, but at the temperature named does not hurt the cabbages. There is something seriously and fundamentally wrong with the system of agriculture being followed under which the farm gets poorer and poorer from year to year and less productive in the staple crops. The highest peak on Mount McKinley, in Alaska, was successfully scaled early in June by a party headed by an Episcopallian frontier missionary. Instruments taken with them showed an altitude of 22,500 feet. If there is one person in the world more than another that shows both a lack of good breeding and good sense it is the one who thoughtlessly ties a horse to a shade tree and thus lets it gnaw and mutilate the bark. A good one is told on a farmer who shortly after buying a high priced touring car lost control of it on the street one day and, seeing it headed for a post at the side of the road and not knowing just how to avert a collision with it, yelled, "Whoa, there—whoa!" While the stuff that the junk men of the country collect is not considered of especial value, yet in the one item of secondary metals, which do not include gold, silver, platinum or aluminium, the total value of metals collected annually amounts to more than $77,000,000. --- There is no way of cooking an old then or rooster that gives as good results as starting it in a kettle on the stove for about half an hour and then letting it steam and simmer in a fireless cooker. To give best results this process should be repeated before the chicken is served. An English lady, Mrs. James of Covent Garden, London, has a practical monopoly in the matter of furnishing watercress to the hotels and restaurants of London, and she is considered worth, $400,000. Years ago this woman started in the business of selling watercress by marketing two basketfuls. --- About the most satisfaction in the line of weed destruction that the writer knows of is that got from running a sharp spade through the root of a lusty burdock in its second year that has made large plans for bur and seed production. If the jab is made well below the crown the job will not need doing a second time. --- In these days of exhausting of soil fertility is worth while following the plan the old time eastern farmer who used to gather up the fresh ashes after he had been burning brush and put a small quantity on each hill of corn. The potash in the fresh ashes was dissolved by the next rain, and the corn shortly showed ranker and greener as a result. In case the bark gets knocked off one of the shade trees that which is ragged and separated from the wood beneath should be trimmed away with a sharp knife or ax and the wound given a couple of coats of white lead. Later in the season if more of the bark around the wound shows dead it should be trimmed away, so that it will not furnish a harbor for dampness and in- Both in the matter of growth and also in the point of training and development a horse is usually made or unmade by the time it is a year old. For this reason the care given during the first twelve months is most important. One of the chief handicaps that the dwellers far inland suffer as compared to those who dwell in the vicinity of either the Atlantic or Pacific seaboard is in his inability to get fish and lobsters fresh and at a price within reach of his purse. An Arkansas farmer has succeeded in getting a stand of sweet clover on a barren farm which, it was supposed, could not produce even cowpeas. Now that he has the soil inoculated with the sweet clover bacteria, it is conceded that he can grow alfalfa. Scours in calves may be cured by giving a teaspoonful of dried blood in the milk, stirring it in thoroughly as the milk is being drunk. Besides relieving the scours, the dried blood is a very concentrated form of protein and will tend to put the calves in good condition. Sixteen dead and sixty injured is the toll of life and suffering enacted by an explosion of mill dust in a large Buffalo (N. Y.) elevator. Had precautions been taken to see that this dust was removed as fast as it accumulated by some effective vacuum suction system this catastrophe might have been avoided. Records covering a period of fourteen years show that Arizona has the lowest average rainfall of any state in the Union—5.8 inches—while the greatest average rainfall was in Alabama, the precipitation being 71.6 inches. North Dakota had the lowest average temperature, 35.5 degrees F. and Florida had the highest, 71.8 degrees F. Two Sioux City boys on arriving at the age of twenty-one were given a half section Minnesota farm as a reward for not having drunk, smoked or chewed for the preceding ten years. If these boys keep on in this way of temperate living they will be ahead the equivalent of another farm by the time they are fifty years old. The Mississippi valley farmer who a couple of weeks ago took forty-two big loads of alfalfa hay off twenty acres that he seeded. early last August will not need to have any further arguments presented to him as to the wisdom of growing alfalfa. Incidentally it may be observed that his near neighbors will hardly need any more proof either. What nature can do in way of forcing growth of things has been demonstrated in the past three weeks in the matter of the corn crop. Where farmers were stewing the 1st of June because they feared their corn would not be more than shoe high by the Fourth, five weeks of exceptionally hot weather, coupled with abundant moisture, resulted in many fields in the northern part of the corn belt being chin high by the date referred to. In view of the annual loss of $60,000,000 to the hog raisers of the country through cholera, the federal department of agriculture has started a campaign for the purpose of eradicating the disease from the swine herds of the country. For the most part the work will be done in co-operation with the animal husbandry departments of the several states. In the light of the greatly increased cost of living in recent years, it is strange that such a campaign has not been inaugurated before this. The officials of the department of agriculture have seen fit to issue a warning to the people of the country relative to the matter of investing in date ranches in the west and southwest. While some success has been achieved along the line of growing dates in the sections mentioned, the business is no such bonanza as the backers of some date ranch promotion schemes would have their intended victims suppose. And least of all is any money to be made by absent investors and owners. The cement post is being used a good deal as a substitute for the post made of timber. It costs no more than does the wooden post and is practically indestructible. A very simple yet durable post that many have tried is triangular in shape and re-enforced with iron rods set in the cement close to each corner. The molds are easily constructed and are so arranged as to give a dimension of four inches for the top and seven inches for the bottom of the three later surfaces. The length of the posts may be regulated to suit one's needs. A lady reader makes inquiry about the manner of treating buttermilk, referred to in these notes, so as to make it usable for several days. The item did not make as clear as was intended that where one wishes to keep the milk in the manner suggested it may be done by pouring water into the larger vessel containing the buttermilk after the amount which one needs for the time has been taken out. The presence of the water tends to dilute the lactic acid and check its fermentation, while the curd or protein part of the milk settles to the bottom of the container. Before using each time this water should be poured off, more water being poured on when one is through drinking. Buttermilk is more enjoyable if one can get it fresh every day. Where one cannot the method suggested is worth trying. Reference has been made in these notes several times during the past three years relative to the need of a federal law which would protect migratory or interstate birds. It is a matter of congratulation on the part of all who love birds from the practical or aesthetic standpoint that such a measure is soon to be a law and become operative Oct. 1, 1913. With a view to correcting false reports that have been put in circulation relative to the terms and requirements of the new law the American Game Protection association, which was largely responsible for the passage of the law, has distributed circular letters giving a summary of its requirements. There will be read with interest and digestal, for they are henceforth paramount to all state laws covering the same subject. For purposes of administration the country is divided into two zones. Zone No. 1, which is considered the breeding zone, comprises those states wholly or in part north of latitude 40 degrees and the Ohio river. Zone No. 2, which is termed the wintering zone, includes all states lying south of the boundary mentioned. The new law makes six classifications of migratory birds, as follows: (a) Anatidae, or waterfowl, including brant, wild ducks, geese and swan; (b) Gruidae, or cranes, including little brown, sandhill and whooping cranes; (c) Rallinae, or rails, including coots, gallinules, sora and other rails; (d) Lumicolae, or shore birds, including avocets, curlew, dowitchers, godwits, knots, oyster catchers, phalaropes, plover, sandpipers, snipe, stilts, surf birds, turnstones, willet, woodcock and yellow legs; (e) Colubidae, or pigeons, including doves and wild pigeons; (f) migratory insectivorous birds—bobolinks, catbirds, chickadees, cuckoos, flycatchers, grosbeaks, humming birds, kinglets, martins, meadow larks, nighthawks or bull bats, nuthatches, oroles, robins, shrikes, swallows, swifts, tanagers, titmice, warblers, thrushes, vireos, waxwings, whippoorwills, woodpeckers, wrens and all other perching birds which feed entirely or chiefly on insects. Among the several wise provisions of the new law attention may be called to the following: Spring shooting of the above named migratory birds is absolutely prohibited; it is made unlawful to shoot birds, game or otherwise, between sunset and sunrise even during the open season; shooting of migratory birds on the Mississippi river between New Orleans and Minneapolis, the Ohio river between its mouth and Pittsburgh and the Missouri river between its mouth and Bismark is prohibited except during November and December. This is aimed to provide safe passage for these birds during their migratory flights. All migratory insectivorous birds are protected throughout the year with the single exception of reedbirds or rice birds, on which there is an open season during September and October in Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Virginia and South Carolina. When the new regulations go into effect the federal government with its well earned reputation for law enforcement will become the guardian of our interstate birds. Henceforth there will be no more ruthless slaughtering of robins and other highly prized birds during their winter sojourn in southern states nor in other sections of the country. Hearing will be had on the new regulations with a view to receiving suggestions as to changes, but it is safe to assume that the proposed law, which needs but the signature of President Wilson to become a law, will be come operative substantially in the form as above outlined. A NEW POTATO PEST. A short time since the federal department of agriculture issued a warning calling public attention to the danger of a spread of a new pest that threatens the potato growing industry the potato moth. The pest is especially prevalent in Texas and California, and, through shipments of early potatoes, the moth is being introduced broadcast over the country. The department urges potato growers everywhere to examine carefully the potatoes they dig and destroy every vine and every potato that shows the slightest signs of the moth. It is urged that especial attention be given to seed potatoes, which should be fumigated with carbon bisulphide before they are planted. The warning closes with the statement that unless protective and defensive measures are adopted by potato growers and handlers at once there will be a serious reduction in the potato crop. HE PRIZES THE SILO. H. B. Johnson of Chickasa, Okla., who is one of the most successful feeders of beef cattle in the whole southwest, gives a large place to the silo as a factor in his success. He fattens some 3,000 head of steers every year and plans the present season to increase his battery of silos from five to fourteen, of 250 tons capacity. He reports that his silage fed steers make a more rapid daily gain than steers fed on any other ration and that they net him from $9 to $10 more than steers fattened at the same time without silage. His silage fed steers brought $1 per hundred more than those not fed silage. The bunch he fattened last year averaged 850 pounds per head when they were put in the feed lots and 1,266 pounds when they were marketed at the end of an eighty days' feeding period. J. C.
