Better to Close Up City Market THAN SELL MEAT UNDER PRESENT CONDITIONS Dr. Bahnsen State Veterinarian Had no Idea Situation Was so Bad. "I'm going to stop the sale of meat under such conditions if I have to close up every one of these stalls and report their owners for prosecution." State Vetenarian P. F. Bahnsen sounded this warning while making an inspection of the city market yesterday. "It is impossible to sell good meat where the rules of sanitation are so utterly disregarded," said Dr. Bahnsen. "I had no idea we had such a situation to deal with here." Dr. Bahnsen's utterances were made during a talk with Alderman Livingston, chairman of the Market Committee of City Council. In company with State Pure Food Inspectors Methvin and Garfunkel, Dr. Bahnsen was making an inspection of the stalls in the city market when Alderman Livingstou put in his appearance. "Instead of criticising the dealers here why don't you tell them what to do?" asked Alderman Livingston. of the market by Dr. s of my office and Mr. we early part of July, we led report to your muorities, outlining fully ons found here and able suggestions for the at of conditions." FORM THE PUBLIC a to the public while I am are. The last report was never given to the public, but I personally intend to see that the facts are brought to light this time." The conditions at the market show scant improvements over the conditions that existed the early part of July, according to Inspector Methvin. Some stalls have been paying more attention to cleanliness and sanitation, but as a general rule things are just as bad as they were at the previous inspection, he said. Several pieces of meat found to be unfit for human consumption were condemned. "There was considerable meat which did not appear to be as good as it once was, but I give the dealers the benefit of the doubt," said Dr. Bahnsen. "There is no doubt that a lot of unsound meat is being sold in this market. In some cases it may be the fault of the butcher who slaughtered it, but, in most cases, it is due to the unsanitary condition of the stalls."—Savannah Morning News. Pretty Fall Wedding. On last Wednesday evening an unusually pretty wedding was conducted at St. Philip A. M. E. church, West Broad streets, by the Rev. R. H. Singleton. The contracting parties were Miss Ruthalean, Eliza Martin and Mr. H. Charles Chapman. Promptly at 8:30 o'clock the bridal party arrived at the church in five large automobiles and attracted considerable attention. To the tune of Mendelssohn's wedding march, played by Mrs. S. J. Franks, the procession entered the church. There were four bridesmaids, two groomsmen, two flower girls and a ring bearer. The bride entered leaning upon the arm of her father. Mr. E. L. Martin, and was beautifully gowned, as were the bridesmaids and flower girls and ring bearer. The groom met the bride at the altar, which was beautifully decorated. The wedding ceremony was very impressive and was witnessed by a packed church. The popularity of the couple was shown by the beautiful and numerous presents received. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Martin of 106 East Forty-second street. WM. ANTHONY AERY Does the South offer the hard-working, thrifty Negro the opportunity of succeeding in business Business here includes farming, storekeeping, housebuilding, lumbering and real estate. Some simple stories of Negro success and progress, told at the recent Philadelphia meeting of the National Negro Business League, of which Dr. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee Institute is the president, show clearly that the South offers splendid opportunities to the right kind of Negro. One unfailing condition, however, must be satisfactorily met by every Negro, and indeed every other individual, who would succeed in the South as a business man. Quality and service must be furnished, every day at a fair price. Henry Kelly, of Belon, Miss., began his up-hill climb as a good farmer in 1878 when his father bought 40 acres of land. In 1886, Kelly started out independently with 520 acres of unpromising land, only 30 acres of which were in cultivation. He cleared his land as fast as he could with his bare hands and a few poor farming implements. He didn't wait for up-to-date machinery, he just worked hard with the poor tools he had. One of his first tasks was to build a house and establish a home. Then he had two thinking heads and two sets of hardworking hands in his tarming enterprise. By degrees he branched out into cotton ginning, sawmilling and flourmaking. Kelly built tenant houses on some of his cleared land; opened a store; and, best of all, applied to his tenants the Golden Rule and has never regretted this policy. Now, Kelly has 50 tenants working from "sun to sun," who help him work some 1750 acres. His formula for success in farming is applicable to many other less remunerative occupations: "Industry, then economy, then education." Beginning in 1886 with $450, which he had laboriously saved as a farm hand, this same Kelly, of Bolen, Miss., is today worth $80,-000 and has respect of his white and black neighbors. He encounters no trouble on account of his color in doing business in this Mississippi town. This is the simple story of "Plain Henry Kelly; Patient and Successful Negro Farmer." GOOD CREDIT PAYS Jonus W. Thomas, of Bennettsville, S. C., is a big farmer down in Marlborough, County—big physically; big so far as his credit at the bank is concerned. Thomas runs a 52-plow farm worked on what is known as the "can't to can't system." This means that Thomas and his hands begin farm operations before daybreak and labor until they can scarcely see to put up their mules at night. Of course, during the hot season, the noon recess may last from one to three hours. A hard life this is, but listen to some other facts concerning this unusual Negro farmer who is setting a hard pace for younger Negroes. Twenty-two years ago, Thomas began his career as a farmer by buying an old horse for $40.75 and by renting 30 acres of ordinary land for 1400 pounds of lint cotton. After four years of hard work and close saving, Thomas was able to buy a mule for $69 and also 7 acres of land. Then he began to make a business of renting farms. Next he opened a "grab" or commissary. Now, Thomas lives in a 12-room house and employs on his $40,000 plantation 39 families, consisting of 189 men, women and children. He grows a variety of crops, including cotton, corn, peas and raises his own horses, mules, cows and hogs. He has received as much as $31,000 for his cotton crop alone—400 bales of long staple. On an average Thomas has saved $3000 a year for twenty-two years. All that he has now on his farm is his own, "directly or indirectly," he affirms with pride. In a single year, he has borrowed of one bank, and repaid $32,000. "Good credit," so Thomas says, "explains a fair share of my success." Here again a black man, yes a very dark-skinned man, has won Oil Well Produces Neat Income NEGRO GIRL'S $112,000 A YEAR Ten-Year-Old Will Pay Biggest Income Tax in Oklahoma—Girl Gets One Eighth Share Muskogee, Okla., Sept. 8.—A Negro girl 10 years old will pay the largest income tax in Oklahoma. Sarah Rector, who lives just west of Muskogee, has an annual income of more than $112,000 a year. It is the old story of the luck allotted and the oil well. Sarah is the descendant of a Greek freedman. She had nothing to do with the selection of her allotment and probably has never seen it and does not know where it is. But it is a 160 acres of land and upon it has been drilled the biggest producing well in the mid-continent field. This is what is known as the Jones gusher, near the town of Cushing. The well is producing more than $2,500 a day and Sarah gets one-eighth as her share. This is just the beginning. Arrangements are already made to drill other wells. There is no doubt but these will also be big producers. the good-will of his white neighbors by doing well his tasks as a reliable farmer and by maintaining law and order in the community for which he has been responsible. Thomas, of Marlborough County, S. C., should be an inspiration to Negro youth. He didn't wait for anybody to give him a start. He just plunged in and began to swim for dear life. EFFICIENCY BRINGS WORK B. L. Windham, colored, of the contracting firm 'of Windham Brothers, Birmingham, Alabama, started as a carpenter in 1887 to win for himself a place in business. He had his ups and downs like other men. Then for a few years, 1896 to 1902, he was a farmer. Finally, he went back again into the building business. In 1903, Windham and his two brothers did their first important building, a job worth $35,000 for a white citizen of Monroe, La. Since then they have managed and and done the construction work of buildings from the Mason and Dixon line to the Gulf of Mexico. Today the Windham Brothers handle about $300,000 worth of contracts a year. Their efficiency brings them their work. They do not stand on the side lines and cry "Race Prejudice" when work goes to white contractors. A PRODUCT OF WORK AND THIRTEY J. H. Blokgett, a colored man of Jacksonville, Fla., has had a most interesting struggle from poverty to wealth. Nineteen years ago, Blodgett worked as a railroad window washer at $1.05 a day and received his pay every eight days. When he first struck Jacksonville he had just $1.10 in his pockets and a suit of underwear in a paper bag. One of Blodgett's first shocks was that of being arrested as a tramp for wearing a straw hat in winter. Truth to tell, he wore just what he had and he meant to do something worth while, if he simply got a chance. Soon after Blodgett was laying brick at $1.25 a day. Dr. Booker T. Washington came through Jacksonville and was received most cordially by the "big" Negroes the Negroes who have money and pulled themselves up from the common ranks. Blodgett wanted to be introduced to the great leader of the race and he believed that this prominent visitor would gladly shake his hand, if an opportunity came. Blodgett was too modest to push his way through the crowd and seek the hand of the well-known educator. Nobody saw fit to bring forward "Blodgett, the bricklayer," who thus found keen humiliation thru the lack of money. Then and there, Blodgett made up his mind that he would earn more money and do something that would win for him eventually the respect of his colored neighbors and刽ite him to the friendship of Dr. Washington He and his wife worked and worked and then worked some more. They were, meanwhile, thrifty to the ninth-degree ree. Blodgett bough ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS BEGIN NEXT MONDAY School Received Donation of $1000—School Building Renovated Beach Institute will open Tuesday, September 30th with the following corps of teachers: L. M. Rowland, principal, who will have charge of the classes in Latin, Economics, Advanced American History, Manual Training; Miss Bessie K. Meacham of Grinnell, Iowa, Pedagogy, English, Ancient History; Miss Bertie G. Jones of Brooklyn, N. Y., Mathematics; Miss Lula Dobbin of Geneseo, N. Y., Music and assistant in other branches; Miss Kathleen Dana of Antigono, Wis., Domestic Science; Mrs. Mary E. Harper, grades four, five and six. The rules governing admission will be the same as last year. Those who graduated from the eighth grade of the public schools of this city will be admitted to the ninth grade at Beach without question. Those coming from other schools will be required to give evidence of their ability to do the work of the grade they wish to enter by examination or by a certificate from their last teacher, if they come from a school of good standing. Examinations for grades four five and six will be held at the school building. on Thursday, September 25th at nine a. m.; for grades seven and eight. Friday, September 26th at 9 a. m.; for grades nine, ten, eleven and twelve. Monday, September 29th, at 9 a. m. During the vacation the interior of the school building has been thoroughly renovated. The cellings are entirely new, the side repaired and retinted, and the woodwork repainted. For all practical purposes the building is now as good as new. These repairs are due to the generosity of Mr. G. H. Henry of Lincoln, N. H. who gave to Beach $1000 for improvements, nearly all of which has been expended on the school building and the teachers's home. The building will be open for public inspection every afternoon after September 25th. Beginning with Wednesday, September 25th, the principal will be at his home, 512 Harris street, east, every afternoon and evening and will be pleased to confer with parents and students in regard to school matters. Announcements for the year 1913-1914 are now being printed and may be obtained after September 20th at the Tribune office, Mrs. Mary. A. Harper, 2310 Harden street or at Beach Institute. Florida land that was bound to rise in value and, after erecting a house for himself, built 308 houses, many of which he afterwards sold at a good profit. Today, Blodgett owns, in Jacksonville, 121 houses which have a combined rental value of $2500 a month. His own home is well furnished. Blodgett is, in fact, a man of means. He has one very precious possession, real, good common-sense. Speaking of young Negroes, Blodgett says seriously "Remember, the white folks have weaned the Negro. They are telling you to go and do that Booker Washington says, you can do'." Blodgett declares emphatically that there is no excuse for any able-bodied, young Negro waisting time in doing ordinary hotel work, at $20 and $30 a month and his tips, when he can grow tomatoes at $1000 an acre in Florida. To a so-called educated Negro waiter, who was once overheard criticizing some Negroes because they had little book learning, Blodgett said: "Those 11 men together are worth at least $1,000,-000 and not one of them has ever seen the inside of a college. If you cannot bl one of them out of 10 tents, I give you 10 dollars. The small waiter never got big $10. I knew life." CHICAGO NEGRO MINISTER WAS ONE OF THE PERRY FETE SPEAKERS. Former President Taft and J. A. McDonald Also Spoke. Rev. A. J. Carey, pastor of the Institutional church, 3825 S. Dearborn St., was chosen as one of the four speakers at the Perry Centennial victory Celebration at Putin-Bay., Lake Erie, Ohio, Sept. 10. Two of the other speakers for the occasion were former President Taft and J. A. McDonald of Canada. The naming of the Rev. Mr. Carey is taken as a great honor to the Chicagoan, since the selection rested between the local man and Booker T. Washington. John P. Sanborn, Newport, R. I., chairman of the celebration committee, extended the invitation to the Chicago minister. In the battle of Lake Erie 100 years ago eighteen Negroes are known to have participated with the American fleet. In recognition of their services the commissioners determined to invite one member of the race to be a speaker at the celebration.—Defender. Dr. Carey is a Georgian of whom all of us are proud.

His Entrance into Office SIGNALIZED by Segregation of Races—White Employees Given Most Desirable Room. Postmaster Bolling H. Jones, who took charge of the Atlanta postoffice on Tuesday of this week, signalized his entrance into office by segregation of the races. The white employees are all to be placed on the eastern side of the postoffice and given what is known as the "swing room," the most desirable in the building; while the Negro employees will be placed on the western side. It is generally understood that the segregation act which Postmaster Jones has put in effect so soon is but one of the radical changes which he hopes to bring about in the Atlanta office. It is stated that he is in favor of the displacing of Negro letter carriers, as he is opposed to Negroes holding positions of such responsibility and that he will replace them by white carriers as rapidly as possible. Dr. Brockett Starts New Work DR. BLOCKER Starts New Work The first and opening services of the New York Men's Tabernacle will be at the Odd Fellows hall, West 138th street, between Lenox and Fifth avenues, Sunday September 14. There will be three services of Sunday. Preaching at 11:00 a.m. and 7:45 p.m., by the Rev. Brockett, dean. Vital topics for men on 3:00 p. m. All men—the and prosperous man, the courageed man upon whose adversity in its many forms trod, men from home and the who are strangers or outcasts a cordially invited. If you have favorite song, come and sing it and allow all present to help you do so. In these meetings for men you will become acquainted with others on the higher levels of thought and and manly endeavors. The Rev. Dr. Brockett, dean of the New York Tabernacle movement, was ordained and consecrated to the Christian ministry in this city thirty years ago. He has been accorded a hearty welcome by the pastors of different denominations on his return to this great field of his early ministerial labors. Associated with Dr. Brockett as a prudential or advisory committee are the following well-known citizens of New York City: Chas. T. Green, W. H. Austin, L. S. Reed, J. C. Thomas, John M. Royall—New York Age. From the above it is noticed that the nomadic Dr. Brockett is located in New York city for at least a while. He is full of schemes, and his suavity of manner gives him at least temporary success as demonstrated by his pastorate of St. James A. M. E. church of this city; the musical congress he conducted here; the Chippewa Farm movement; the emancipation exercises in Boston for which the Guardian excoriated him so unmerciful; now he is in a pasture, green with a brand new scheme.

A cordial welcome to all. F. B. B. Church Despite the inclement weather on Sunday morning, there was a large Juvenile Society present to have their annual sermon preached by Rev. Wright. He preached an excellent and instructive sermon, the subject was "Little Children Harken." By a very queer method of saving money the children had a very large donation for the church, pastor, choir and sexton. On Sunday night, Rev. Wright read for the lesson Heb. 11. His text was from II Peter 1:1 The subject was "Faith." He preached a very eloquent and spirited sermon filled with many good lessons that will help us in our every day life. The choir sang, "I know that I am believing." The pastor lined the hymn "Am I a soldier of the cross." Accepting the invitation a large crowd bowed for prayer. Attend our church and B. Y. P.

The National Negro Business League The fourteenthannual meeting of the National Negro Business League, recently held at Philadelphia, has served to call attention again to the steady progress which the Negro race in all parts of the country is making in farming, in business and in the trades. Probably never in the history of this country has there come together so large an audience of respectable and substantial colored citizens as gathered in the Academy of Music, in Philadelphia to listen to Dr. Booker T. Washington's annual address to the Business League and the colored citizens of Philadelphia. At this meeting and at all other session of the League this year special effort was made to emphasize the opportunities that are open to the Negro in the small towns and on the farms of the South. The number of Negro farmers who have risen to the position of plantation owners has measurably increased within recent years, and the stories of the successes which these men, starting with no capital and little education, have made can hardly fail make an impression upon the younger generation, many of whom in our Northern cities are making a mean living as porters and window-washers or in some other dependent position. As indicating the progress which Negroes are making in the higher forms of commerce and corporate business, there was recorded at this meeting the completion, in the Negro town of Mound Bayou, Mississippi, of the first cottonseed oil mill erected and controlled by Negroes, and the establishment in Atlanta, Georgia, of the Standard Life Insurance Company, the first insurance company organized by Negroes and conducted under the safe guards and regulations of the old line companies for whites. In order to complete this oil mill and establish this insurance company Negroes have had to bring together in each case a sum of money something over $100,000. The fact that this has been successfully accomplished, together with the testimony that was offered as to the character of these enterprises and the men who are conducting them, is a very proper subject for congratulation not only to the black people in every part of the country, but to the many white people who are watching with interest and sympathy the struggle of the race to rise. The National Business League, in bringing together every year representatives of the solid, substantial, and successful members of the race, is performing a service not merely to the colored people but to the whole country. It is well, as Mr. Wanamaker remarked in his speech to the League, and as every good merchant knows, "to show your goods," and there is no better answer to attempts that are sometimes made to depreciate the Negro race and limit its opportunities for advancement than the showing which the meetings of this League make from year to year of steady, silent progress of the masses of the people. There will be many attempts this year, when the Negro people are celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of their emancipation, to show, in expositions and otherwise, the progress of the race; but the Negro Business League is an annual exposition of the progress of the race, and it has the advantage that it not only exhibits the progress but it shows the men who are making it.—Editorial: The Outlook. New York City. Hendersonville, N. C. Dots Hendersonville, N. C. Dots The concert given by Miss Hattie Butler for the benefit of the hospital was quite a success. Miss Julia Williams' entertained on the 9th, of this month for the benefit of the hospital was also a success. The debating contest between the Hendersonville club and the Flat Rock club was quite a success. The Hendersonville club won. The subject was "Resolve that Men are superior to Woman." The guests were: Miss Emma Moultrie, of Atlanta; Mrs. Fannie Gray of Savannah, Ga.; Miss Hattie Butler, Mr. J. B. Godlock, Mr. Jas. Williams, Messrs. Wheeler and George Edwards and Rev. Irvin. At the residence of Mrs. Kate Smith a delightful tea was given in honor of Mrs. Fannie Gray of Savannah. Those present were: Miss Hattie Butler, Rev. Wm. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. George Smith. The friends of Mrs. Gray regret her leaving but hope to see her in Hendersonville, again. She was a faithful worker in Zion Church. Mr. George Edwards will leave Wednesday for Charleston, S. C.

The mass of mankind will never have any ardent zeal for seeing things as they are. Very inadequate ideas will always satisfy them. On these inadequate ideas reposes and must repose the general practice of the world. That is as much as saying that whoever sets himself to see things as they are will find himself one of a very small circle, but it is only by this small circle resolutely doing its own work that adequate ideas will ever get current at all.—Matthew Arnold.

SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson XII.—Third Quarter, For Sept. 21, 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Ex. xxxii, 15-20; 30-35—Memory Verses, 19, 20—Golden Text, I John v, 21—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. We may summarize Ex. xxv to xxxi, inclusive, as the Lord's instructions to Moses concerning the tabernacle, of which the principal vessel was the ark of the covenant containing the two tables of the law. We cannot think of Israel as a nation without a tabernacle or temple, and when finally restored we shall see a fulfillment of Ezek. xl to xliviii. The reason why of the tabernacle is seen in Ex. xxv, S, "Let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them," and concerning the temple that is yet to be we read in Ezek. xiii, 7, "Son of man, the place of 'My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever, and My holy name shall the house of Israel no more defile." Compare Rev. xxi, 3-5. The section concerning Moses with God in the mount ends with these words: "And He gave unto Moses when He had made an end of communing with Him upon Mount Sinai two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God" (Ex. xxxl, 18). Today's lesson gives us the sad, sinful, earthly side of the story while Moses was absent scarcely six weeks. The people who had seen the love of God to them and His power on their behalf in Egypt, at the Red sea, in the giving of the manna and quails and water from a rock, and had heard His voice out of the midst of the fire, could not live an ordinary, uneventful life for forty days without wondering what had become of God and of Moses, their leader. If we see special providences, special indications that God is working for us, handfuls of purpose dropped for us (Ruth ii, 16), manifest tokens of His loving care, we are ready to sing and praise; but, if weeks or months or even days come and go and there is nothing out of the ordinary, do we give Him' occasion to say of us, "Blessed are they that have not seen yet have believed," or "O ye of little faith?" When they came to Aaron with their complaint concerning the absence of Moses and their request for something visible to worship, what a splendid opportunity Aaron had to stand for God to remind them of the command they had just heard out of the midst of the fire—not to bow down to the likeness of anything, to call their attention to the daily manna as an evidence of the constant care of Jehovah and to insist that they worship the Lord their God and serve Him only. It seems as if Joshua would have done so, or a man like Daniel or his friends. How can we account for Aaron's listening to them, asking for their gold earrings, melting them into the form of a calf and deliberately fashioning it with a graving tool? (Verse 4.) When Moses rebuked Aaron for his great sin, hear part of his reply: "Thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief, for they said unto me, make us gods which shall go before us. * * * I asked for their gold, so they gave it to me; then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf" (verses 22-24). Then just think of the death of the 3,000, for which he was responsible (verse 28). This is called a temperance lesson, and if used as such it seems to me that the harm brought to many by the misconduct of one comes in here very strongly. But what shall be said of preachers who, to please the people and keep their position, either keep back the truth or teach what is not truth? All who stand before others as leaders should remember Gal. 1. 10; I Thess. 11. 4. Notice how Moses stood with God in his showing them, by a most striking object lesson how they had broken the law, in his grinding the calf to powder and making them drink it, in his call for those on the Lord's side to slay even their own kindred if guilty of worshiping the idol. The response of Levl is referred to in Mal. ii, 5-7, some of the words being "the fear wherewith he feared Me and was afraid before My name; * * * He walked with Me in peace and equity and did turn many away from iniquity." Their faithfulness that day is referred to by Moses in these words: "Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren nor knew his own children" (Deut. xxxill, 9). This is part of what it means to be on the Lord's side, not simply giving a testimony in meeting, but standing against our dearest ones, if they stand against God, even as our Lord said, "He that loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me, and he that loveth son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me" (Matt. x, 37-39). Consider the pleading of Moses with the Lord before he came down from the mount, for up there the Lord told him of Israel's sin and how they had corrupted themselves and turned aside quickly out of the way (verses 7-14). Consider also his request to be blotted out of God's book rather than not have Israel forgiven (verses 31, 32), and think of the Lord Jesus being actually made sin for us.

Foot Trouble Cured/ It is an absolute fact that most foot trouble is caused by overwork or strains on the muscles and ligaments of the foot that support the arch, carrying the weight of the body. These ligaments, muscles and tendons become tired and relaxed under the enormous work, allowing the arch to lower, cause tired aching feet, weak ankles, rheumatism, flat foot, cramped toes, bunions, callouses ets.

Local Happenings Boiled Down For Hasty Readings Judge Newman of the Northern District is holding court for Judge Speer. It is reported that a local bakery furnished the Savannah Female Orphan Assylum bread containing worms. The campaign for the road to Tybee has begun in earnest. Ten year old Belle Dix was run down by an automobile about two miles on the Augusta road. She is at Charity Hospital in a precarious condition. The white driver of the automobile was arrested. N. G. Danby, a white man, was remanded to the city court for accused swindling. The theft of $71,000 from the express company which occured last week is still unsolved. The election for the issuing of bonds for the erection of an auditorium took place Monday. 1177 votes were cast out of a registration of 1,538.

A half million-dollar naval stores company is being formed with Mr. J. F. Cooper Myers as president. J. W. Johnson, a white postal clerk, was caught "red handed" with marked bills taken from a decoy. letter. His run was between Savannah and Waynesboro. He is in jail, unable to give bond. Mr. Daniel Baran, an old emoloy of the Savannah Brewery, was electrocuted, while at work last week. Henry Davis, the alleged slayer his wife, is still at large. Among the Masons Grand Master Butler visited mericus last week where a meet- of the trustees of Orphan one was held. He states that such good work has been done and being done. The place is reodeled and will hardly be recognized. The roof and all other good work are painted and cemented on the basement floor. Every room is fitted with white beds and pens. All of the little ones are happy and good work will be done during the year. The brothers could rally in support of this great work. JUDGED BY ITS MEMBERS JUDGED BY ITS MEMBERS The lodge is judged by its members This may not be fair nor logical, but it is the case nevertheless. We must accept things as they are, not as they ought to be, and govern ourselves accordingly. As a secret organization, the only knowledge that the world can have of our order is the effect that it has on men who belong to it. If it tends to make them good men and true, then it will judge well of the institution; if it does not do this the opinion that will be formed must be evil. The only real use Masonry is in the world is in its effect on men outside of the lodge room. Its teachings and ritual, beautiful as they are, are only means, not ends. Once upon a time there was a Star who never failed to look eastward even at sunset. Each day she endeavored to take some forward step for strength to study the nobler things in life, believing with all her heart and soul in a larger life, in the greater life, ever seeing the beautiful uplifting things before her in the east of opportunities. It was a new day for her when she became a member of O. E. S. Radiant memories walked to and fro weaving garlands of God's changeless stars about her, she was alone and lonely, and in her desolation it was joy unspeakable to know that in suffering the great golden stars smiled upon her and those in the clear blue heavens were ever shining o'er her. Sometimes she thought the cup would never pass, and there was a few drops too many. Then it was the glad hand was held out and she was taken into tender, loving sympathy. This star belonged to a very rare order of humanity. She was rocked and reared in the midst of tempest that would neither bow down or snap asunder, and would have beat out most natures. But she while trembling, was triumphant in the fierce lashing of the waves. She prayed passionately and fervently and never lost her faith. It seemed to her at times that her tondest hopes and cherish- ed desires would forever come to naught Whenever her heart was in anything, circumstances and fate snatched it away. She strove tirelessly to be worth while, to be of some use, to do some good; but this star was never understood. She could never remember a time when clouds were not raining down, thwarting ambitions, daily pinpricks of annoyances, having to live with uncongenial people, lost of rights by heritage, ill health and sore bereavements all conspired to depress her spirits and make her morbid, her life was a burden, and she was often crushed very low under its weight. The terrors of life were all she knew. But despite this state of her affairs she was a faithful star, trusting ever in the mercies of God, and He blessed her with helpful friends, and looking at fraternalism that reaches out through the hearts of people with love and sympathy, and has made it possible to create such orders as Masonry and O. E. S. That it was a lack of this human sympathy that caused the spirit of fraternity to unite to organize and become the power for good that it is This particular star had the patience to wait the real issues and to perform whatever duties that devolved upon her. In this she found her greatest happiness, and tried to fill her place wisely and well. She knew that moments are precious, and what is done should be done now. That earnest, persistent and self-sacrificing workers were in great demand for the cause of the star represented, and she established living terms with all the varying vicissitudes of her life and met them with an attitude of acceptance and stood out in her own individuality in her mission of service.—Exchange. FREEMASONRY Suffering, destitution want, helpless widows and fatherless orphans may well awaken compassion within the breast of every one within whom beats a heart that can throb responsive to human agony. Once more, until it sounds like useless repetition, are we brought face to face with the great fact that it is not peculiar to Freemasonry to consider the utter weakness and unreliability of human affairs—to realize that human foresight and sagacity are daily set at naught by the remorseless decrees of fate. When misfortune has come unto the strong man, striking dismay and cowardice into the brave heart that has with fearless front so long withstood the brunt of life's battle to hold out helping hand of relief, to give some shelter from the storm, to smoothe away the difficulties and enable him once more, with increased energy and strength to renew the conflict, is a privilege that any true man would prize. The reward of having done so would be that his soul would be filled with the sweet music of gratitude and that consciousness of well doing with which God requires every good action. If all this be so, how much more forcibly does it appeal to us, after the husband and father has been stricken down, when the long sickness comes, the hour of agony, the funeral pall, and then the agonized mother and weeping children, with grim want stalking like a scepter through the desolate home, Surely it does not need Freemasonry to direct the promptings of our hearts in a case like this. Is there one among us who would think it necessary to do all in our power to relieve the unfortunate, simply because in so doing we were obeying the behests of Masonry? Our minds will answer before we could frame our lips to say the word. There is a world of beauty, a world of wisdom and a world of strength in the teachings of our beloved Institution, elevating, ennobling all who will study and comprehend them,—Edgar F. Areston, California. One of the Many Pitiful and Appealing Conditions that Exists Amongst the Congested Sections of Our City Last December while investigating conditions through Yamacraw, I found two childrden homeless; only the kindness of the neighbors kept them from starving. They had not changed their clothes for six weeks, and these were rags, and they had no underclothing on. The mother of the children was sent to penitentiary for five years. The father is living, but will not support the dear little ones. I regretted that I could not see these children made happy Christmas day, as death stepped in and took one that was very dear to me. After the holidays, I tried to find the children, but the father had taken them away and no one could give me any information concerning them. Strange to say while visiting through that section last Monday, a hard working woman, sitting on her stoop, taking a little rest from her labor, called me and pointed to two little boys who were near. She related a sad story of those dear children, saying that she found them on the corner Sunday night crying and when she approached them they told her they were turned out of the house where they had been living and had no place to stay. This kind hearted Samritan was doing her duty, giving to Jesus' little ones a a cup of cold water, giving the real sympathy, and, I am glad to say that she is one of the real self forgetting Christians. The children's father is named John. Watkins. As far as I could ascertain he had left the city. I have asked the Editor of The Tribune to bring this before the public to show the necessity of having not only a home to house, clothe and feed them, but a home that will train the heart first and he hand next, so that they will become useful and self-sustaining men and women. We can boast of our progress and the many achievements the Negro has made, but it is heart rending when we can not point to the well laid foundation of an orphan and an old folks' home, which is very much needed in our city. The saddest sight to behold is a neglected child, whose parents are either too poor or too neglectful to give it the proper care in its infancy, and a child thus grown becomes, as a rule, a dishonor to itself and a danger to the public at large. The many Negro paretns of no means who are forced to go out to work and haye to leave their children at home, and their children become street Arbs, and grow up like thistles in a neglected field. Instead of becoming freemen by the obedience to law and order, they become slaves to their own lusts and slaves of sin with the inevitable results of crime and sorrow. To prevent such a state of affairs is one of the greatest problems to be solved. In order to equip ourselves with knowledge, sympathy, and earnestness for this work, we need the soul strengthening influences of organization. Apparently the preachers are too busy with their churches and collections, politician are too much burdened with their affairs to direct an organize such an institution. Therefore the colored women can scarcely escape the conclusion that this work has been left for them to do. Organized womanhood to-day the world over is the spirit of reform in carnate. It impresses its reforming influence upon every existing evil; and its protecting power of love hovers over every cherished interest of human society. All combined institutions of church, state and civic societies do not touch humanity on so many sides as the organized efforts of women. Having awakened to the responsibility upon us, may God grant us aid to organize for larger usefulness so that we may encircle all humanity with the blessedness of our sympathy and love. Let us be faithful and keep in mind Daniel Webster's remark, "If we work upon marble, it will perish; if we work upon brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust; but if we work upon immortal minds, if we imbue them with principals, with a just fear of God and love of our fellow man, we engrave on those lablets something that will brighten all eternity." I would that I had a thousand tongues and every tongue a thousand voices, and every voice a thousand echoes that could reach all over the world. I would speak in loudest tone with animating voice to every Negro woman and bid her take up woman's responsibility, come together and begin to act, begin to do, and exert her power in the right direction and the world will feel it, and these souls will be schooled to higher wants and the hand skilled to obtain them. When these influences have combined to make a generation of virtuous, clean, industrious women, though they may not shine in society or speak but one language, though they may be ugly in feature, unsophisticated in manner; and by their sides a generation of men who will care for and love their own firesides, what though their names are never heard outside the little limits of their own state or neighborhood, what though their hands are hard with toil, we will not need to discuss the improvement of this class, such women and men will improve their homes of their own volition. "An arm of aid to the weak, A friendly hand to the friendless, Kind words, so short to speak, But the echo is endless, The world is wide, these things are small, They may be nothing, but they are all."

The thirty-fifth week of the international egg laying contest being conducted at the Storrs 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, 568; Buff Wyandottes, 306; S. C. R. I. Reals, 554; R. C. R. I. Reals, 527; Buff Orpingtons, 426; White Orpingtons, 484; Black Orpingtons, 348; Black Minotens, 402; Blue And dalusians, 380; Auconas, 322; Butter cups, 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.

Everything of the latest style LATEST STYLE SILVER RAY AND BLACK CARS CARRIAGE FOR HIRE 60 WEST BROAD STREET Phone 1211 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 mutch 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 mid-afternoon 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 these. 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 tests. Funeral Directors and Embalmers Finest line of Coffins, Caskets and Robes.

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 one of the chief factors in a scattering of the fire or pear blight that for several years past has wrought such havoc in pear 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 forty-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 smeared with the blight ooze from some holdover cases.

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.

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 $1,400 per acre. Deducting expenses of $400 leaves $1,000 net as his return from this one acre.
