Woman Drowned
:
Leaving Boat
RELL OFR GANG PLANK
MONDAY NIGHT
Lost Balance on Crossing Plank
Between Steamers Pilot Boy
And Attaquin—Body Recovers
ed Wednesday.
Returning Monday night from
excursion to Daufuskie Island
: gine steamer “Attaquin, Mrs.
Josephine Creek who resided on
Hull street near East Broad, lost
her balance while on the gang
plank leading from the Attaquin
tothe steamer Pilot, which was
moored at her dock at the foot of
Abercorn street, and was drowned
in the Savannah river.
The unfortunate uccident, which
happened 2 little before midnight,
occurred just-as the excursionists
were disembarking from the boat
which had carried them on the
day’s outing to Dauftskie. The
steamer Attaquin on reaching the
docks and finding the Pilot Boy
moored there-tied up to the latter,
thereby forcing her passengers to
cross a gang plank leading to the
Pilot Boy before they could reach
the wharf. It was while crossing
this plank that Mrs. Creek, who
was among the last to leave the
steamer, fell overboard and was
drowned. .
The ill-fated woman was observ-
ed by a man who was near her to
trip, andjhe made aneffort to catch
her, but‘was unsuccessful. Imme-
diately the cry, ‘‘Woman over-
board,”’ went up and the men who
were on'the boat sought to rescue
her, but on account of the nearness
of the two boats to each other she
was not seen to rise after falling
overboard and all efforts to save
her were in vain.
* The river was dragged for the
body, but it was notrecovered un-
til Wednesday about noon when it
“rose,to the surface at practically
the same spot where the unfortu-
nate woman fell overboard.
The body was turned over to one
of the eolored undertakers and the
funeral took place Wednesday af.
ternoon.
WH2TE WOMAN SEBK CLEM.
ENCY.,
Save Condemned Negro.
Atlanta, Sept. 1.—Attorney R.
G. Dickerson, of Homerville, ap-
peared before the Prison Commis-
sion to-day and made a strong ap-
peal for commutation of the sen-
tence of Lige Lane, a Clinch coun-
ty Negro from death, to life impris-
onment. Lane was convicted of
criminal assault upon a white wo-
man. The lawyer declared there
were grave doubts as to Lane’s
guilt, and that there was a strong
probability of mistaken identifica-
tion on the part of the woman.
The most unusual feature of the
plea for commutation was the fil-
ing of a petition in behalf of the
Negro signed by 95 per cent of
the white women of Homerville,
urgitg that clemency be granted.
There is no record of a similar
appeal within the history of the
state.

Work on the new Pekin theatre
has progressed so rapidly that the
management of the house is now
practically assured of having it
completed and ready for occupan-
ey by about the first of next
month. §&
There are but few persons who
have seen the progressof the work
on the new building, because of the
fact that the old house almost _en-
tirely obscures the new building
from West Broud-street. Never-
theless the work has ‘been dis-
patched with much ‘rapidity and
that too inspite of severil changes
which have been znade'tf the orig-
inal plan. .
The few changes that have been
made in the plans will greatly in-
crease the seating capacity of the
new house and will also allow the
spectators a better view of the
stage. While it was planned to
haye the capacity of the house
about one thousand, yet with the
changes im the balcony which have
heen effected in the plans, about
two hundred additional will find
accomodations,
+ Itis the desire of the manage-
ment that the new P2kin shall be
one of the most conveniently ap-
pointed , theatres in the country,
owned ahd operated by Negroes
and no expense is being spared in
its construction. The house will
have all the latest improvements
and will be one of the most beau-
tiful theatres owned by Negroes.
As has been states before in
‘The Tribune the site of the old
house will be a beautiful lobby, on
one side of which will be an at-
tractive cigar stand and on the
other side an up-to-date soda foun-
tain. By means of this lobby,
which will extend back from West
Broad street to the present orches-
tra pit, the management of the
house will be afforded sufficient
space to accommodate the crowds
that now congregate on the side

Jury For Mistrial
WAS TRYING MAN ~*~ ON
PEONAGE CHARGE
“This Man Is Guilty, ana Deep
Down in Your Hearts You
Know lt,” He ‘Tells Them,
Whercupon Defendent Rises
in Court and Pleads Guilty
(By Associated Press.)
Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 23.—
Because a jury: today réported a
mistrial after two days in the case
of Butler Searcy, a prominent
Butler county planter, accused of
holding Wash Gardner, a Negro,
jn peonage, Federal Judge Wil-
liam B, Sheppard, of Pensacola,
presiding temporarily over the
federal court here, reprimanded
the jury in mostsensational terms.
“This is a travesty on justice,”
he declared. “Ido not see how
apy intelligent man, hearing the
evidence as it was presented, could
agree to such a verdict,”
| Hehinted broadly that the mem-
bers of the jury had carried their
prejudices and petty personal
differences into the jury room with
them. This he said in substance,
was despite the oath they had
taken andthe sacred obligations to
which they subjected themselves.
“While we hear much’ of the
corrupt judiciary on every hand,”
he said, “‘do you not think it be-
hooves every juryman to consider
any case brought before him in an
impartial light and to render his
verdict to the best of his_ability;
exercising the functions God gave
him to their fullest power? I
Se that had I given you my
opinion of the case it would _have
had little weight on you. I will
give it to younow.
“This man is guilty of peonage.
Deep down in your hearts you are
certain of this fact, but you bring
in a verdict to the effect that you
agree todisagiee.” After hearing
Judge Sheppard’s scathing re-
buke, Searcy the defendant arose
voluntarily and pleaded guilty to
E charge, despite the fact. that
two jaries heretofore had failed to
reach a verdict in his case.
He was sentenced to three
months in the Montgomery jail.
St. Stephen’s Church Calls Dr,
Junius L. Taylonof Newbern
The announcement has been
made that the-Reverend Junius L.
Taylor, D.D., of Newbern, North
Carolina, has‘accepted the call ex-
tended to him by the vestry ut St.
Stephen’s parish, this city. He
will enter upon his duties as rector
of that’ parish on October first.
‘Ehis announcement was made to
the congregation by the vestry,
through the Senior Warden Mr. L.
M. Pollard at the close of the even-
ing service, Sunday August, 24th,
When the Rev. Dr. Bright re-
signed and left last June, it was
felt that not only St. Stephen’s
people but the entire community
had suffered a severe loss. Men
of the sort of calibre adapted to
take his place are not easily wrest-
ed from the spheres of construct-
ive endeavor in which they are to
be found. .
It was, therefore, felt that the
parish might ercounter some dif-
ficulty insecuring a suitable rector
at an early date; and St. Stephen’s
isto be congratulated, that this
problem has met with so early and
happy solution, To the’ vestry-
men fell the task of finding a suit-
able man. And their success has
demonstrated their fitness for’ the
work. Being staunch friends and
supporters of the former rector,
as well as ardent Jovers of their
church; they set themselves with
characteristic asiduity to the per-
formance of their duty with deter-
mination to bring the best talent
available to the perpetuation of
the work of the parish. They prac-
tically scoured the country and by
a careful process of elimination hit
upon Dr. Taylor, to thesatisfaction
|} of the bishop, vestry and congre-
|gation. A call was therefore ex-
{tended to that reverend gentleman,
in response to which Dr. Taylor
yisited the city on the 3d ult., and
preached at both morning and eve:
ning services in St. Stephen’s
|church. His stay was short, last
ling only two or three days, during
which time he was the guest o!
{Mr. and Mrs. C.C. Deveaux on
Park avenue.- He was, however,
so charmed and well impressed
| during his stay that he succumbed
to the lure ef Savannah and decid-
ed to accept the call which had
been extended to him by S&t.
| Stepben’s church. "
Newbern suffers a great loss to
the commensurate gain of Savan-
nah; for Dr. Taylor is reputed to
be one of the strongest men in the
Episcopal church. He is a man of
splendid personality and deep
spirituality, a powerful speaker
and an indefatigable worker. He
has. just within the past year com-
pleted in‘ Newbern a magnificent
brick church, which is probably
the finest that the Colored Episco-
polians now havein the south. And
it should be further added, to his
credit, that he will leave it practic-
ally without debt. The people of
Newbern are ofcourse making an
heroic effort to keep him. We
commiserate the good people there,
but then—Savannah is Savannah.
We want the best men here and
we know with what cards to draw
them and to bind them to us and to
our attractive city.
All things considered, it may be
said that St. Stephen’s deserves
such aman as Dr, Taylor as its
rector; Dr. Bright deserves such a
successor so that his good work
may not languish; and Dr. Taylor
|deserves such a congregation in
Jorder that he may have material
wherewith to work out even great-
'|triumphs in the future. St.
Stephen's stands unusually well in
the Episcopal body. A compar-
tively small cengregation, yet en-
tirely self supporting and without
debt. The coming of Dr. Taylor
will be an acqusition to our city
which will draw forth our sincere
congratulations to our fellow
christians of St Stephen’s anc
felicitour hearty ‘‘Welcome!” t
; Death.

ness of five months died-on Aug-
ust 22, at his late residence 170

ternoon from the Second Baptist

Labor Day Widely
Observed
LACK OF PARADE CAUSED
MUCH DISAPPOINTMENT
Amusement Parks Crowded—
Streets Tnronged Until Late
At Night—Many Excursions
ists in City forthe Day
‘There was but one feature lack-
ing on last Monday to make the
day one of the best Labor Day
celebrations in the history of the
city and that was the absence of the,
usual parade by the labor unions
of the city. .
To even, the casual observer
there were unmistakable signs'on
every side that the day was being
widely celebrated by all, classes
of citizens and that it would go
down in the annals of the city as
being one of the most enjoyable
since the inauguration of the Labor
Day movement in Chicago years
ago.
All the ordinary bustle and ac-
tivity which are usually manifest-
ed on the first businéss day of the
week were lacking and life for
the most part was being taken
easily by the great majority of
the laboring classes.
There were but few business
houses open in the morning, but
these closed their doors about
mid-day in order that their em-
ployees might enjoy at least a
portion of the day which is so
generally observed the country
over as that which belongs tothe
laboring man and on which he.is
supposed to be free from work.
Regardless of the fact that
notice had been given that there
would be no parade by the vari-
ous labor unions, the disappoint-
ment which was caused by the
omission of this the greatest of
the day’s celebration was appar-
ent on all sides, It really seemed
that the people who were
prominading the streets could not
conceive of a Iabor day without a
parade, and many were the ex-
pressions of regret at the failure
of the laboring men to turn out.
The resorts about the city all
did a record breaking business and
and the roads leading to them
seemed alive with all sorts of
vehicles. The theatres, too, also
did a rushing business and were
able to begin the week’s work
with good financial results.,
Among those to enjoy the day
were hundreds of excursionists
from points near the city and they
were very geherous in their words
of praise for the good times that
are to be had in this city.
Mr. P. M. Thompson Takes
Charge of Local Standard
S Life Business
During the week, Mr. Pierce
M. Thompson arrived in_the city
from Atlanta and took charge of
the loeal business of the Standard
Life Insurance Company. Mr.
Thompson is a Savannahian by
birth and his many friends here
will be’pleased to have him among
them again. Prior to returning
home Mr. Thompson was em-
ployed by the North Carolina
Provident Association as special
man and is well qualified for tHe
position which he now holds.
Mr. Thompson has taken offices
in The Tribune Building. :

ment company and also one of the

Lesson X-<Third Quarter, For
Sool: 7/1218
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Memory verses, 1-11—Golden Text,
Luke x, 27—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M, Stearns.
“And God spake all these words.”
Sometimes when those whom we call
heathen hear of the true God who
made heaven and earth, and that He
ts a God of Love and sent His Son
to die for sinners, and that there is a
book which tells what He sald and
did, they spare nelther time nor money
that they may possess such a book.
In contrast to this, how little do many
in so called Christian lands appreciate
the word of God or give any heed to
such words as these: “The mighty God,
even the Lord hath spoken.” “Hear,
© heavens, and give ear, O earth, for
the Lord hath spoken.” “Give ear, O
ye heavens, and I will speak, and hear,
© earth, the words of my mouth.”
“God, who at sundry: times and in
divers manners spake in time past
unto the fathers by the prophets, hath
fn these last days spoken unto us by
His Son" (Ps. 1, 1; Isa, t, 2; Dent
xxx, 1; Heb. 1, 1.
Repeating these words of the ‘Ten
Commandments in Deut. v, Moses sald
concerning them: “These words the
Lord spake unto all your assembly in
the mount out of the midst of the fire.
of the cloud and of the thick dark.
ness with a great voice, and He add-
ed no more. And He wrote them in
two tables of stone and delivered them
unto me” (Deut, v, 22). “Ihe tables
‘were written on both their sides, * * *
and the tables were the work of God,
and the writing was the writing of
God, graven upon the tables.” “Tables
of stone written with the finger of
God” (Ex. xxxii, 15, 16; xxl, 18). See
also Deut. ix, 10; x, 4. There never
were tables like these nor writing Uke
this, and as He spoke to and wrote for
Hebrew people {t must have been in
the Hebrew language, the only lan-
guage of which we have any record as
being spoken from heaven to man
(Acts xxvi, 14). He gave as a reason
for the ten words who He is and what
He had done, “I am the Loni thy God.
which have brought thee out of the
land of Egypt, out of tho house of
bondage.’s
Note two of the many repetitions of
this great saying and His great long-
ing that they would give heed to Him
that We might do all that was in His
heart for them (Deut, v, 6, 29; Ps.
Ixxxl, 10-16). Note in the ten words
the fourfold repotition of “the Lord
thy God” (verses 5, 7, 10, 1. They
suggest at least this—Jehorah, thy Re-
deemer. who is also thy Creator. We
have for our meditatton in this lesson
the first four of the ten words or com-
mandments, and they are eummarized
by our Lord in these words in His
reply to the Iawyer: “Thou shalt love
the Loni thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy’,
mind” (Matt xxil, 31). |
‘Wo all need to confess, “O Lord our,
God, other lords beside Thea have had
dominion ovor us” (Ise, xxvi, 13), The
wich young ruler who thought that he
hsd kept afl the commandments from
fis youth up wae proved guilty of
tesaking tho Orst ove when he prefer-
ved ts great possessions to eternal
Ute Catt. xix, #1, 22). It fe not nec-
ensary to bow down to the wock of
men’s bands to broak the fimt of the
commandments, for tf anything, how-
ever lawful it may ba, oceupiea our

@e Hkeness, of. anything in herven or

ed in Deut. fr, 15-19.
‘Thte command, like the others, may
be broken by our thoughts, for God
soos the pictures wo hang up and
bow down to in tho chambers of our
imsgery (Ezek. vill, 12), and He de-
gireo for our good that He should be
expreme even in the imagination of
our thoughts, all being brought into
captivity to the obedience of Christ
QI Cor. x, 5). Ho is called a jealous
God just seven times (Ex. xx, 5; xxxiv,
14; Dent. tv, 24; v, 9; vi, 15; Josh, xxiv,
19; Nab, 1, 2), and some light is giv-
en upon it by Ish, xitl, 8, “I am Jeho-
rah—that is My name—and My glory
will I not give to another, neither
My praise to graven images” Ho
desires us all for Himself that He may
fully reveal Himself to us and through
us. As to not taking His namo in
vein, the positive form 1s, “Hallowed
be Thy name,” and all that tends to
exalt our name instead of His or that
say@ by word or act, “Let us make us
2 name” (Gen. xi, 4), breaks this com-
mand

Poot TroubleCurea |. .....2......20.2.. 2.2.22
It is an absolute fact that most
foot trouble is caused by over-
work or strains on the muscles
and ligaments of the foot that
support the arch, carrying the
weight of the body. These liga-
ments, muscles and tendons be-
come tired and relaxed under the
enormous work, allowing the arch
to lower, cause tired aching feet,
weak ankles, rheumatism, flat
foot, cramped toes, bunions,’ cal-
louses ets. Dr. Johnson’s Foot
Easer will relieve them at once.

The sweet young thing was being

“What is that thing?’-she asked.
pointing with her dainty parasol.
“That,” answered the guide, “is an

Hitin oF the Vanetable Lamb.
When cotton first came to:Europe to
make its principal centre in Lancashire
It was the subject of the quaint and
wonderful fable ot the “Vegetable
Lamb.” The fluffy white fibers of the
bursting cotton pod so resembled
sheep's wool that travelers reported
that in Tartary there grew a shrub
the fruit or boll of. which contained
“withinne a lyttle Beaste In Flesche,
in Bone and Bloode, as though it were
a lyttle Jambe with outer wool” After
the Iamb had been eaten the wool was
made into cloth, continued this story,
which 4s the earliest European account
of the mannfacture of cotton.—London
Standard.
A Mollified Subject.
Nollekens, the sculptor, was 2 manof
pretty wit and of neat resource in com-
pliment. He had at one time for a sit-
ter a woman of great beauty, but of an
extremely nervous and impatient tem-
perament. During her sittings she
would constantly change her position,
and with each shift of posture her ex-
pression changed. At last the sculp-
tor’s patience gave way.
“Madam,” he cried, “of what avail is
‘your beauty if you will not sit still till
I have reflected it in my model?”
‘The sitter smiled with gratified van-
ity and was as motionless as a lay fig-
ure during the remainder of her sit-
tings—St, Louls Republic.
An Effective-Scarecrow,
A scarecrow used by a farmer in the
north of Engiind not only scared every
crow that saw It, hut one crow was so
frightened that he brought back the
corn he had carried to his nést three
days before.—Loudon Tit-Bits.
The Nearest Approach.
An English tourist visited Arran
and being a keen disciple of Izaak Wal-
ton was arranging to have a day’s
good sport. Being told that the cles,
or horsefly, would suit his purpose ad-
mirably for a lure, he addressed him-
self to Christy, the highland servant
girl, “I say, my girl. can you get me
some horsefiies?”
Christy looked stupid, atid he repeat-
ed bis question. Finding that she did
not yet comprehend him, he exclaimed:
“Why, girl did you never see a
horsefly?”
“Naa, sir’* said the girl, “but a
wanse saw a coo jump ower a preshi-
pice.”
Crime and ticht.
It may seem strange, says a Loudon
paper, that murders could possibly in-
crease the dividends of gas companies,
but that happened at the time of the
notorious “Jack the ‘Ripper’ crimes.
It would be no exaggeration to say
that the whole east end of London
went in fear of death. These ghastly
murders were all committed in dark
spots, lke unlit doorways, and the im-
mediate result was that people used
much more gas. The sale of candles
and parafiin ofl, too, went up amaziug-
ly all over the east of London,

Rainfall and Earthquakes.
Professor Omori points out an ap-
parent relationship between the fre
quency of earthquakes at Tokyo and
the amount of rainfall and snowfall
in northwestern Japan. Professor
Omori does not, however, attempt to
explain it, The periods when earth-
‘quakes are infrequent (but severe) co-
inelde in a striking mainer with those
when rainfall Js deficient at Nilgata
and Akita, while the periods of fre-
quent (but not violent) shocks coincide
‘with’ excessive rainfall at those places.

Gambetta, the French patriot, had

the other In childhood: is tolar by, a

such a dislike to going to school that
he said ‘to his father that unless he

sisted on his remafning on at school,
whereupou Gambetta did us be bad

Temonstrating with bim he said that
if bis father sent, bim back again to
school he would poke the other eye
out Such a determined character was
he that his futher bad tually to give

Lovers of the race and its achievements throughout the country were gratified during the present week to note the great success which has come to Howard P. Drew, the crack sprinter of the Springfield, Massachusetts High School. By equalling the world's record for a 100 yard dash Drew has added new lustre to his already brilliant career and at the same time placed the Negro on a par with the greatest short distant sprinters of the world. The Tribune indeed rejoices with the rest of us over the superb achievement of this Massachusetts lad on the athletic field, and wish for him a long and illustrious career. At the same time, we trust that his common sense, already evinced on many occasions, will hold him in good stead and thus prevent his doing anything that will dim in the least the great brilliancy of his shining career.
By far one of the most prominent organizations among our people of the city at this time, is the local branch of the National Negro Business League. Organized only a few months ago, the league has already made its influence felt in the community. Never before have we witnessed such a hearty cooperative spirit among our business men as has been shown since the organization of the local league. This is indeed as it should be. As has been often said in our columns, if we ever expect to make any marked progress as a people then we must stick together. We must both enlist and retain each others support. This can only be done by each of us subjugating all petty differences and disputes to the good of the whole people. The gentlemen comprising the business league stand foremost in the business and professional life of our community. Each of them has made a success at their financial ventures individually. There is no reason whatever why they should not succeed collectively. If we are able to read the signs correctly, we predict a long and successful career for the local branch of the National Negro Business League. May our prediction hold good in every sense of the word.
In a few more days, the portals that load to the grounds and campuses of our schools and colleges will be opened and an army of school children, young and old, seekers after truths, will be found wending its way to the school houses. Joy and laughter will ring from the streets and roadways of every town and hamlet as our young hopefuls make their journey along them to their various school homes where they are to acquaint themselves with the realities of life and so equip themselves as to be able to meet and combat with them successfully. As the time approaches for the opening of the schools, each parent, whose guardianship makes it incumbent upon him to provide for the education of his child, should see to it that all necessary arrangements are being made by him to admit of his child entering school on the opening day and remaining therein throughout the school year. There is no denying the fact that much ground is lost by the child whenever he does not enter school on the opening day and thereby fails to get the foundational instruction in his various new subjects. The ground lost in this way is indeed hard to recover, if at all. It is the duty of the parent therefore to see to it that he does not handicap his child by allowing other children to get a start on him. In this age when the complexities of the American civilization is the greatest and the standard of American citizenship the highest in the history of the
nation, it can be seen readily how necessary it is to make each school day for the child count. This can only be done when the child is regular, practical and faithful to his school duties. Keeping him away from school during any part of the school year for reasons other than Providential, will make it impossible for him to excel in the school virtues above enumerated. Far should it be from any parent to retard the intellectual growth and development of his young one. On the contrary, he should bend every energy and every nerve of his to stimulate the mental activity and development of him. As has been stated before, the time is near at hand when all of the schools will swing wide their doors for the reception of their charges. As this time approaches, let us again urge our parents with all of the emphasis at our command to make preparation to have their children ready for the schools when the opening day comes.
Of the many illuminating statements made by the distinguished lawyers gathered at the recent annual meeting of the American Bar Association held at Montreal, Canada, none had greater significance or came in for more wide spread discussion than the statement of Viscount Haldane. Lord High Chancellor of England, that it wasn't so much the fear of punishment, by the courts as the fear of the public opinion, that restrained men from becoming violators of the law. It indeed requires no unusual stretch of thought for one to appreciate the truthfulness of Viscount Haldane's statement. From time immemorial, the conduct of men has been largely shaped and guided by public opinion. Especially is this true of men whose position in the society, business or political world is high. Few men whose station in life is high will fly, as it were, in the face of the public opinion and do that which will receive its condemnation. Oftimes when one is tempted "to take the law in his own hands" in order to revenge himself upon some disturber of his peace and quiet, he hesitates in so doing, not so much on account of fear of the punishment which the court may mete out to him as the fear that the public opinion will condemn his act. Accepting the foregoing as a fact, one can readily see how necessary it is for both state and nation to build up a strong public opinion in favor of law and order in order that their citizens may become more and more inclined to right living and right doing and less inclined to violate the law. This can only be done through education. There would be far less lynching and mob violence in this country if public opinion through education were made sufficiently strong to condemn it. As long as their exists in this country a maudlin public opinion against crime and disorder, so long will there be found an abundance of violators of the law in both high and low stations. The time has come when American public opinion against crime should be made strong. In every home, in every school and in every church upon American soil, a vigorous campaign against crime and disorder should be waged. The American youth should be taught early in his career that he cannot expect to hold a place of prominence in the social, political or business world if he refuses to obey the law in all of its aspects. He should be taught to understand that a complete ostracism will be his if he commits a crime or winces at one in any way. Whenever he is so instructed; whenever he is so brought up; a greater respect for law and order will he have and thus less will be the tendency in him to break the law or tolerate anyone who becomes a violator of the law. The importance and truthfulness of Viscount Haldane's statement presents itself to us in bold relief. We sincerely trust that it will have its weight with the American people of whom we are a part.

In Memorium
In sad remembrance of my devoted sister and aunt,
LUCINDA SIMMONS,
who departed this life Sept. 5, 1912.
Gone but not forgotten.
"Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at North wind's breath,
And stars to set;—but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O Death."
"No longer must the mourner weep,
Nor call departed Christians dead,
For death is hallowed into sleep,
And every grave becomes a bed."
"It is not exile, it is rest on high,
It's not sadness, it is peace from strife,
To fall asleep is not to die,
To dwell with Christ is better life."
Mittie M. Stripling,
Anthony Stripling, Jr.
In loving remembrance of a devoted wife and darling mother,
MRS. MARY E. FOSTER,
who departed this life Sept. 7th. 1904.
Nine years to-morrow at 5:55 p.m., the reaper death claimed our darling wife and mother. It is long, yet it seems but yesterday to us ever since that time to this present moment; a home without a wife and mother no one knows but Jesus. Yes, He alone for that vacant space, of whom? A wife. Of whom? A mother. Can it be filled with another? Never while life last.
The light of the morning comes.
The evening shade appears, no wife, no mother,
No sweet and loving voice,
No gentle, tender care,
No wife, no mother, we loved her so dear.
We dream of you by night, and speak of you by day.
We go out to the cemetery, to view the mound of clay.
And beside you Viola lay awaiting the judgment day.
We sigh for you, we cry for you,
We loved you so dear, Jesus loved you best.
Our home is so lonely, no mother,
Sweet mamma, sweet mamma, so dear.
We loved you, sweet mamma, yes
Our sweet Jesus loved you best.
Heavenly Father safely fold thee
In Thy bosom gently hold thee
And our feet in mercy guiding
Bring us where thou art abiding
To that celestial city, where parting is no more.
Her devoted husband and children,
Oliver Foster

Journal, as gsitnted me, in order to
reach «nd iwnefié more than the
members of my immediate congre-
gation It +. my purpose to show
here in this article, the relation
“existing between the Old and New
Testaments.
The smallest child in the Sunday
school is tamiliar with the division
of the Bible into two parts, known.
as the Old and New Testaments.
There are a very few who do not
know that the Old Testament was
almost written in Hebrew, and
the New Testament written in
Greek; and also that the.Old_Tes-
tament is the only part of the
Bible acknowledged as God’s Word
by the Jews, whilethe New Testa-
ment is the character of Christi-
anity- Beyond these elementary
facts many do not go, taking no
note of the contrast ‘existing be-
tween them or the manner in which
one is related to the other. Both
are qually God’s word of equal
authority and value teaching the
same great lesson of Sin and Re-
demption yet possessing certain
well defined differenees and sus-
taining peculiar and interesting
relations one to the other. ‘The
New Testament explains and ful-
fills the Old.
It was remark of Augustine
that “Inthe Old Testament the
New lies concealed, in the New
Testament the Old Testament lies
revealed-” Thus the New Testa-
ment is buta revelation of the Old.
In olden times a written contract
was often torn into two parts, each
party retaining one of the halyes,
and the bringing together of these
two halves would afterwards es-
tablish their genuine character.
Such is the origin of the word
“indenture.” So do the Old and
New Testaments come together,
the one corresponding exactly to
the other. The New Testament
gives a much clearer revelation of
doctrines than the Old. The im-
mortality of the soul, the doctrine
of the future life was not given to
the saints of old with the fullness
and clearness that we enjoy. ‘They
were not in 1norance of this hope
but they walked in the morning
twilight of revelation. Hence the
rewards and penalties under the
ancient dispensation were largely
of a temporalcharacter. The doc-
trine of the ATONEMENT was
taught in type and object lessons,
by bloody sacrifices and costly rit-
ual, but the Herald of the Newdis-
pensation pointed his followers to
the ‘Lamb of God slain from the
foundation of the world.” The
Resurrection of the dead, although
believed by the Jews is only hinted
at in the Old Testament, but
throws tke bright light of hope
upon the resting place of our de-|
parted from every page of the
New. aoe nf
TE ing Re. Se eae gg
much fuller and clearer revelation
of God than the Old. In the Old
Testament, esptcially in che earlier
portion there is considerable an-
thropumorphism. God walks in
the garden in the cool of the day,
comes down to see what men are
doing, and smells the odor of
burning sacrifice: but in the New
Testament, we are taught that
Goll is a Spiritand those who wor-
ship Him aright must do so in
spirit and in truth. The New
Hestament as the Charter of the
|New Dispensation, reveals more
fully the Holy Ghost.
Saints of old were not without
His presence and His aid, but the
interval between Christ’s ascen-
sion and His return is emphatic-
ally the dispensation of the Holy
Ghost. Even the morality of the
‘New Testament 1s in advance upon
‘that of the Old. We would hardly
regard Samson, Jephthah, Barack
or even some of the Patriarchs as
saints, judged by the sermon on
the Mount. There. was a time of
ignorance,—excusable ignorance.
Polygamy and slavery common in
Old Testament times cannot abide
in the light of gospel morality. -
The New Testament is more
spiritaal than the Old. The re-
wards of the Old Testament were
largely temporal: long life, riches
and honors are the rewards of
piety, but the wicked are to be
blasted in all their hopes and cut
off in the midst of their days.
Such is the teachings of the Psalm-
istand the Prophets. The New
Testament places the christians’
reward in the life to come, bidding
‘him in this world to look for trials
and conflicts.
The Old deals principally with
the life that now is, the Newwith
that which is to come. Of course
it is not meant that these compari-
sons are absolute, but only that
they mark the general trend of
thought. The New Testament
cannot dispense with the Old and
the Old is incomplete without the
New. hey are related.
The Old is the foundation, the
New is the’edifice. Let us abide
there-
The Old the fountain, the New
the stream. Let us drink freely.
The+ Old Testament revealed
truth as faras men were able to
receive it. Its defects were those
of the pupil, not of the teacher.
We must not spend all our time
in the Old Testament but go into
the New for light in order to inter-
pret rightly the Old Testament,
itis also well to remember that
enlarged privileges bring enlarged
responsibilities. We who live in
the full-orbed-light of the New
Testament will be judged by that
light and not by the dim twilight
of an earlier age; grace ard truth,
whole truth, came with tne advent
of Ubrist. The great apostle Paul,
aconverted Jew. bad no end of
trouble from false teachers, who
made a systematic effort to intro-
duce rites among the early beliey-
ers in Christ; such as circumcision,
abstaining from certain kinds of
food at certuin seasons of theyear,
observance of certain days and
and seasons as feasts, ‘But meat
commendeth no man to God, for
neither if we eat are we better,
neither if we eat not are we the
worse’? This was the case with
the Jewish church when the
Saviour, appeared. in the flesh.
‘Too ‘much’ attention” was paid. to
rites and ceremonies to the neglect
of the weightier miatters of the
law, such as judgment, mercy and
faith. Asa resuit’the soul of re-
ligion was gone. They made clean
the outside of the cup and platter
but within was extortion and ex-
cess. They enlarged the henr of
their garments, made broad their
phylacteries, fasted twice a week,
put on sad countenance to be seen
of men, they gave alms sounding
the trumpet of tl ir own praise
but all these‘were » ut poor substi-
tute*for spiritur fife. Nothing
better than whitey ashing a grave.
We ara not Jews, then why keep
to the rites and ceremouies of
Judaism} We re.noz Pagans,
then why follow the licentious
habits of Pagan cenverts. ‘Teach
Christ and His doctrines. To tell
the good news «f heaven, the
story of the gospel and make dis-
ciples for Christ; 1s our duty. We
are not to make di iples for our-
selves but for Chist.
Weare to teach the whole Bible
but let all know that the New Tes-
tament is a revelat on of the Old.
Our people must b« taken into the
fall-orbed-light of the New Testa-
ment in order to s:e clearly what
lies in the Old, tur the Old Les-
tament points to tite New, and the
New refers to the. Oid and thén
says “Here is the full meaning of
what you,read in tue Old.” Do
you wish to find out clearly the
essentials of Chris. unity or what
constitute true renuion? I must
point you to the hew, Testament
‘There we have the negative and
positive descriptiv. of the. king-
domof God, Rom. 14517, “‘Forthe
Kingdom of Gou +s not meat and
drink but righteousness, peace and
joy in the Holy Gi.ost.”
Christ and His kingdom are the
central figures of thet Bible. Let
all teach it. From the promises
made in Eden’s Gardenas set forth
in the Old Testament until the full
day breaks upou us in the New
Testament it is this great thought,
Téach it without confusion. Re-
member this, “‘God is not the Au-
thor of confusion.
THE SIMPLE LIFE.
If one advances confidently in the
direction of his dreams and endeav-
ors to live the life which he has im-
agined he will meet with a success
unimagined in common hours. In
proportion. as he simplifies his life
the laws of the universe will appear
less complex and solitude will not “
be solitude nor poverty poverty
nor weakness weakness.—Thoreau,
eo Sam Weller. _~
It was Sam Weller who made Dick-
ens famous. “Pickwick Papers” were
a complete failure financially until
this unique eharacter was introduced.
The press was all but unantmous in
praising Samivel as an entirely original
character whom none but a great gen-
tus could, have created. Dickens re-
ceived over $16,000 for “Pickwick Pa-
pers,” and at the age of twenty-six he
was incomparably the most popular
suthor of his day in Exgland.—London
Standard.

A villager, intensely conceited and
ignorant, but quite wealthy, was per
suaded to have his grandfather's pic
ture repainted.
‘The artist, not having been decently
treated by the villager, drew the por
trait almost in a nude form. Rolling
it up, he told the man not to look at
it before the coming New Year’s. On
that day the villager ordered the pic-
ture to bo hung up that he might pay
it his New Year's respects. As it was
betng unrolled he frantically waved
his hands and shouted: “Wait! Wait!
‘The old gentleman is not ready, for he
is not yet dressed.”—Brom tho Chi

Blundere In Book Titles,
‘There ts‘always a crop of amusing
mistakes concerning titles. Nothing
no taxes the ingenuity of the bookseller
ag theso phonetic endeavors to get at
the name of a book. What but a gen:
{us could conceive that by “Within ot
Outside the Pail” was meant “Beyoné
the Palel” Even Mr. Bullen would be
puzzled by a reference to “Screws of
the Cash Lock” for “The Cruise of the
Cachelot.” Some other amusing blun-
ders ate, “She Strips to Kongo” for
“She Stoops to Conquer,” “Hero of the
Week” for “Hereward, the Wake,”
“Lined, Pockets” for “Lying Prophets”
and “Had Acre of Greece” for Baede-
ker’s “Greece.”—New York Post.

which the origin of the bellef can be

It is a poor policy to make a fuss over a politician in a Masonic lodge because he holds a political job, and especially to invite him to a seat in the east, not as a Mason, but a "dog pelter of the first precinct," or whatever his official title may be. Toadyism is bad enough anywhere, but in a Masonic lodge it is intolerable. There should be at least one place in the world where a man's standing and recognition should not be based on the size of hispolitical pull, and that place is a Masonic lodge.—Masonic Chronicle.
Every member of the Masonic fraternity should devote a part of his time to reading Masonic literature. The field is large. The domain of Masonic literature contains the accumulation of ages. It is rich in poetry, philosophy, ethics, history and jurisprudence. What the Masonic institution needs is more members, but more reading and thinking members.—Masonic News.
THE DUTIES OF OFFICERS OF
LODGES
There are three things which officers of Lodges should feel themselves in honour bound to do, viz:
First, they should be in their places promptly, and see that their Lodges are open on time.
Secondly, They should learn and do their work to the very best of their ability.
Thirdly, They should be watchful and zealous as to the reputation of their lodges, and should not hesitate to enforce discipline against wilful offenders.
An office in a Masonic Lodge is a post of honour, of responsibility and labor. That officer who fails to do the labour or shirks the responsibility is unworthy of the honour of the position which he occupies. No brother has a moral right to occupy a station and then, by the neglect of the duties which it imposes, greatly inconvenience the members of his Lodge, and thereby injure Freemasonry.
It is an exceedingly reprehensible practice for Masters to be indifferent about opening their Lodges at the appointed. If the brethren want to talk and have a social time, let it be done after and not before Lodge meeting. Then those who want to go home can do so, and no injury is done. I know from personal experience that it decreases attendance upon Lodge meetings for officers to be late or irregular in opening the Lodge. If you want the interest of the brethren to increase, be sure to be on hand in your station, not about but upon the exact date of the time for the opening of the Lodge. Pursue this course and you will be surprised at the increase in Lodge attendance and interest. Open your lodge on time, and then do your work to the best of your ability. But remember that you cannot do the work without first learning it. If you do not study hard to learn the work, you alone will be responsible for your own mortification, as well as the disappointment and disgust of the brethren, at your miserable failure to do the work of your station in a creditable manner. How can you expect to make good Masons by doing poor work? By care-
of officers, bad impressions are made on the minds of candidates, which are hard to efface afterwards. On the contrary, what can be more interesting, instructive, and inspiring than our beautiful work when properly done? Brethren, I appeal too you to appreciate the importance and the dignity of the stations to which you have been elevated, and by your prompt attendance upon Lodge meetings and the efficient discharge of the duties and work of your respective stations, prove that you are worthy of the honour which you brethren have conferred upon you. What think you, is it honest to accept the honour and then not to do the work? To take the pay and then refuse to deliver the goods? Answer these questions by your conduct in the future.
While it is true that every effort should be made to reclaim an erring brother, yet officers of Lodges should be firm and fearless in enforcing discipline against violators of our law. To fail to do this is treason to Freemasonry. No man, it matters not who he may be, should be allowed by an immoral life, or drunkenness or profanity, or by any un-Masonic conduct, to degrade our noble Fraternity, and tarnish its fair name. On this point make no concessions or compromises. See to it that no camp followers, wearing uniforms of Freemasonry, are allowed to hang upon our flanks and prey upon and demoralize our forces or currupt society.
A great contest is going on in this world between darkness and light. We are seekers after light. We do not want to have in our ranks any who are not willing as true soldiers, to take their places upon the firing. We only want those who will face the dangers and stand the hardships in the great battle and onward movement for light, which means Truth, Justice, Sobriety, Morality, and the uplifting of Humanity.—Queensland Freemason.
Music and The Negro.
Mrs. E. Azalia Hackley is at Hampton Institute for a month to conduct a summer class in oratorio, concluding with an "Oratorio Demonstration," which will include a musical "Tug of War" between sopranos, altos, tenors, and bassos in oratorios, recitatives and solos, a musical "Spell Down" between the boys and girls on the oratorios "The Creation" and "The Messiah." Mrs. Hackley has made six-foot charts of the music and the matter to be taught, and the students will have absorbed a great deal of information with very little efforts through these.
As the study of arithmetic cultivates habits of thought, so the intelligent study of music for the Negro as well as other races cultivates abstract mental habits which will control thoughts and emotions, to say nothing of the employment of the idle hour. There is no people so completely under the power of music and no people who could beso moulded through the power of music.
She recommends the study of oratorio especially because the religious character of oratorio music appeals to the masses of Negroes. They sing this class of music with marvellous feeling when they have absorbed its beauties and conquered its difficulties. As intellect is put into the construction of good music so intellect must feel its reception, and to appreciate this music, it must be studied intelligently.
After the coming season, Mrs. Hackley will devote her energies and time towards educating the masses of her people in music. She will have a Memorial Normal School Voice Culture Institute in Chicago, especially to train vocal teachers for the colored schools, and she will hold vocal institutes in various section of the country.
Nearly the whole of last year was given to her Musical Mission. She instructed nearly 64,000 in her method of voice culture, in one day teaching 3,000 school children lessons in breathing and the elements of voice culture. Even in the rural schools, the children grasped every point that she presented, and the teachers report that the lessons will never be forgotten.

"Quite the contrary," replied Miss Outting. "I should think it would be very becoming to you."

Webster's Compliment
Mr. Webster said one of the heartiest compliments ever paid him was by a Maine farmer for whom a young man he had gone into Maine and tried a case. As they left the courtroom—it is to be presumed flushed with victory—the client with flat hand struck him a blow on the back that made the dust fly, saying, "Dan, you're a boss!"
Carlyle's Creed.
Man is born to expend every particle of strength that God Almighty has given him in doing the work he finds he is fit for, to stand it out to the best breath of life and do his best—Thomas Carlyle.

A hen 'is a small institution, but when she goes on a rampage in a neighbor's garden she is a larger factor in kicking up neighborhood ill will than anything we know'of.
Now that the fly killing campaign is in full swing it will be in order to keep fly poison out of reach of the little folks in the home. Many die yearly because of getting hold of it.
Millet intended for use as a forage ration should be cut shortly after the blossoms appear and before the hard seed heads form. The hay will be the finer if the ground is seeded rather heavily.
The reason for the shallow cultivation the last time through, the corn is that by that time the lateral roots have spread a good deal, and setting the shovels deep would tear and destroy them.
In one or two counties in central New York the tent caterpillars are so numerous that they have stripped fruit trees of all their foliage and are swarming over the ground in search of other green stuff.
Twenty thousand pounds of Australian frozen beef were sold one day recently in New York city, the price paid for it being 1½ cents per pound less than the prevailing market price for American beef of equal quality.
In many sections of the country the potato grower is this year freed from both his worst pests—bugs and blight. He isn't able to explain the situation on any scientific basis, but he's mighty thankful it's so, however.
Effective work on the part of government forest rangers in the Chugach national forest reserve in Alaska recently resulted in extinguishing fires that threatened the 28,000,000,000 feet of lumber which the reserve is said to contain.
A former Japanese student at the University of Wisconsin hasInfo purchased a Holstein bull in the state at a long price for shipment to Japan, there to become the head of a herd of dairy cows which the breeder intends to establish.
These is little gain in waging a campaign against the different diseases from which the fazen animals or poultry may suffer if one does not at the same time clean up and thoroughly disinfect the premises whereon these same diseases have been developed.

Not in years have we seen the groebanks go after the green peas in the pod as hard as they have this season. This is doubts due to the fact that there have been no potato bug larvae, which usually constitute one of the chief items in their bill of fare.
A handy torch for burning out nests of the tent caterpillar is made by winding a coll of old rags or waste at the end of an iron rod and fastening this to a pole of some kind. Where the trees are not too large a handy and quick method is to do the job on houseback.
Much may be done toward improving the quality of fruit at picking time by removing as soon as possible all fruit that shows defects of any kind. The nourishment that would otherwise be needed to ripen this imperfect fruit will thus be diverted to apples that are of good shape and free from disease.
A couple of months ago the writer nalled up a second wren's house (a tin can with a small triangular hole cut in the end) a few yards from a can that was already occupied by a pair of the birds. They paid no attention to it, but now that their little ones have left the nest the parents have started housekeeping in the new quarters.
A report recently published by the Canadian department of agriculture states that Dominion farmers lose $1,000,000 a year through merely leaving the male birds with the hens after the breeding season is over, about the middle of June, thus resulting in partially incubated eggs. If Canadian farmers suffer such a loss as this it is fair to assume that the loss to American farmers from this source would be several times as great.
THE EGG LAYING CONTEST. The thirty-fifth week of the international egg laying contest being conducted at the Storms Agricultural college in Connecticut shows the English White Leghorns-Barron's and Cam's still in the lead, with scores of 739 and 600 eggs, respectively. Mr. Cam's White Wyandottes hold third place, with 620 eggs; Foster's White Leghorns fourth, with 616 eggs, and Schmitz's Buff Leghorns fifth, with a score of 612 eggs. These are the only pens that have reached or passed the 600 mark. Following are the highest records attained by pens of the several breeds which have been entered in the contest: Barred Rocks, 496; White Plymouth Rocks, 526; White Wyandottes, 583; Buff Wyandottes, 396; R. C. R. I. Reds, 554; R. C. R. I. Reds, 527; Buff Orpingtons, 426; White Orpingtons, 484; Black Orpingtons, 343; Black Minorcas, 402; Blue Andalusians, 380; Anconas, 322; Buttercups, 160. There is little question that in this contest for practical results there are many pens of fowls making high records for eggs that would score low when it came to fine points, and feathers and some pens that rate low in egg production that would rank relatively high according to usual poultry show standards.
A VALUABLE GENERAL PRINCIPLE.
The idea is all too common that the essential principles of dry farming, so called, have value only for the farmer who is in the dry farming or semiarid belt. This idea of frequent cultivation of the soil during dry weather to create a dust mulch so as to conserve the moisture present in the soil, which is the chief factor in dry farming, may on occasions of drought in sections where rainfall is usually sufficient be of the utmost value. During the present season there is little question that many fields of oats would have yielded from ten to fifteen bushels more per acre had the field been harrowed following the late May rains, in midafternoon before the grain reached ten inches in height. As it was, the last heavy rain packed the soil and the sun baked it, with the result that circulation of soil, air and moisture was interfered with and the growth of the grain-greatly retarded. In the case of cultivated crops, like corn and potatoes, the same principle holds—that the dryer the weather the more frequent the cultivations should be for the purpose of maintaining the dust mulch.
STUNTS FOR THE BOYS.
The Playground Association of America has set some simple physical tests which the directors think ought to be met by some boys of given ages. Both town and country boys will be interested in those. For instance, it is expected of a boy twelve years old that he can chin four times, cover five feet nine inches in a standing broad jump and run sixty yards in eight and three-fifth seconds. Boys between this age and the high school are expected to chin six times, jump six feet six inches and run sixty yards in eight seconds, while boys of high school age should chin nine times, make a running high jump of four feet four inches and run 220 yards in twenty-eight seconds. It would be interesting to know whether town or country boys could the more easily meet these terms.
BEES SPREAD FEAR BLIGHT
It is a matter of regret that, while bees perform a most useful function in the process of cross fertilization in different kinds of fruit trees, they are also a form of the child factors in a scattering of the fire or peas blight that for several years past has wrought such havoc in peas and apple orchards in different parts of the country. In one case where the blight had put in an appearance in a well known fruit growing, section fostery-five fruit spur infections were found in a single tree, and practically all of them were infections resulting from the visits of bees, whose legs and antennae had been ensured with the blight ooze from some hollow cases.
LESS FRUIT THIS YEAR.
According to the early summer crop report issued by the secretary of the Kansas Horticultural society, there will be considerably less fruit this year than last. The condition of the apple crop is 53 per cent as compared with 71 per cent last year at the corresponding time, pears show 40 per cent as compared with 6 per cent a year ago, while the condition of peaches is 23 per cent as against 53 per cent a year ago. While it will not hold in all instances, this slump in the condition of the three fruits named and of some others will be true not only for Kansas, but for a number of other states to the north and east of the Atlantic coast.
$1,000 NET PER AGRE
A Missouri farmer, a member of the Ozark Fruit Growers' association, last year set out to see how large a crop of strawberries he could grow on one acre. This was put in the best of tith and given a generous application of bonemeal and well rotted manure. He set the most vigorous plants he could get and gave thorough cultivation as well as spraying for fungous and insect pests. When he checked up on this acre he found he had picked 800 crates, which brought him an average of $1.75 per crate. This gave a gross return of $1,460 per acre. Deducting expenses of $400 leaves $1,000 net as his return from this one acre.
