FORM THE PUBLIC a Livingston seemed that tlie state authorities this. In repiy taa sec- -stion Dr. Babnsen said: -pose to bare the whole situ- a to the public while I am ere. The last report was never given to the public, but I person- ally intend toseethat the facts are bronght to light this time.” The conditions at the market show scant improvements over the conditions that existed the early part of July, according to Inspec- tor Methyin. Some stalls have been paying more attention to cleanliness and sanitation, butasa general rule things are just as bad as they were at the previous in- spection, 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, butI give the dealers the benefit of the doubt,” said Dr. Babnsen. “There is no doubt that a lot of unsound meat is being sold in this market. In some cases it miay be the fault of the butcher who slaughtered it, but.in most case; it is due to the unsani- tary condition of the stalls.” Savannah Morning News. Pretty Fall Wedding.

WM, ANTIIONY AERY WOrsIng, Lariity Negro the Oppor- tunity of succeeding in business? Business here includes farming, storekeeping, lousebuilding, lum- bering 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. Washing- ton of Tuskegee Institute is the president,.show clearly that the South offers spJendid opportuni- ties tothe right kind of Negro. One unfailing condition, how- ever, must be satisfactorily met by every Negro, and indeed every otber individual, who would suc- ceed in the South as a business man. Quality and service must be furnished, every day at a fair price. - SUCCESS WON IN MISSISSIYTI Henry Kelly, of Belon, Miss., began his up-hill climb as a good farmer in 1873 when his father bought 40 acres of Jand. In 1886, Kelly started out independently with 520 acres of unpromising land, only 30 acres of which were in ewltivation. He cleared his land as fastas 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. Oneof his fitst tasks was to build house and establish a bome. Then he bad two thinking headsand two sets of hardworking bands in his tarming enterprise. By degrees he branched out into cotton ginning, sawmilling ond 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 und has never regretted this policy. Now, Kelly has 50 tenants work- ing from ‘‘sun to sun,” who help him work some 1750 acres. His formula for success in farming is applicable to manyother less rem- unerative 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 $50,- 000 and has respect of his white and black neighbors. He encount- ers no trouble on account of his color in doing business in this Mississippi town. This is thesim- ple story of ‘‘Plain Henry Kelly; Patient and Successful Negro Farmer-” GOOD CREDIT Pars Jonas W. Thomas, of Bennetts- ville, S. C., isa big farmer down in Marlborough, County—big physically; big so far as bis credit at'the bank is concerned. Thomas runs a 59-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 day- break and labor until they can scarcely see to put up their mules atnight. 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 abard 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 potinds of lint cot- ton. After four yedrs 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 rent- ing farms. Next he opened a “grab” or commissary. +. Nos, Thomas lives in a-12-room house and employs on his 240,000 plantation 39 families, consisting, of 189 men, women and children. He grows a variety of crops, in- cluding 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.

Income Tax in Okiahoma— Girl Gets One Elghth Share | Muskogee, Okla., Sept. 8.—A Negro girl 10 years old will pay the largest income tax in: Okla- homa. Sarah Rector, who lives just west of Muskogee,has an an- nual income of more than $112,000 a year. It is the old story of the luck allotted and the oi! well. Sarah is the descendant of a Creek freedman. She had nothing to do with the selection of her al- lotment avd probably has never seen it and does not-know where itis. Butit 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 Cush- ing. 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 bé big producers, the good-will of his white neigh- bors by doing well his tasks as a reliable farmer and by maintain. ing law und order in the commun- ity for which he has been respon- sible. ‘Thomas, of Marlborough County, 5.

Windham. colored, of the contracting firm ‘of Windham Brothers, Birmingham, Alabama, started as a carpenter in 1887 to win for himself a place in busi- ness. He had his ups and downs like other men. Then for a few years, 1896 to 1902, he was a farm- er- Finally, he went back again into the building business, In 1903, Windham and his two broth- ers ‘did their first important build- ing, a job worth $35,000 for s 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 Prejadice” when work goes to white contractors. A PRODUCT OF WORK AND THRIFT J. H. Blokgett, a colored man of Jacksonville, Fla-, has had a most interesting. struggle from poverty to wealth. Nineteenyears ago, Blodgett worked as a rail- road window washer at $1.05 a day and received his pay every eight days. When he first struck Jaéksonvitle he had just $1.10 in his pockets and a suit of under- wear in a paper bag. One of Blodgett’s first shocks was that of beingarrested asa tramp for wear- ing a straw hat in winter. Truth to tell, he wore just what he had and he meant to do something worts while, if be simply got o chance. ‘Soon after Blodgett was laying. brick at $1.25 a day. Dr. Booker T. ~Washington came through Jacksonville and was received most cordiully by the “big” Negroes— the Negroes who have money and pulled themselves up from the common ranks. Blodgett wanted to beintroduced tothe great leader of the race and he believed that this prominent visitor would gjad- ly shake his hand, if an opportun- ity came. Blodgett was too mod- est to push his way. through the crowd and seek thé hand of the well-known educator. Nobody stw ft to bring forward ‘*Blod- gett, the bricklayer,” who thus found keen humiliation thru the Inck of money. Then and there, Blodgett made tp-his mind that he wonld earn more money and do something that would win for-him eventually the respect of his cal- ored neighbors and cntitle him, to the friendship of Dr. Washington. He‘and his wife worked and*work- ed.end then worked somé. more. They were, meanwhile, thrifty to the ntadeg ree. Blodgett bough 4 eit Beach Institute - "2.

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.

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. Dr. Johnson's Foot Easer will relieve them at once. 603 West Park Avenue. Crushing the Golfer. "I'm sorry to trouble you, madam, but you are directly on the line of our drive.

The sandblast, working on the same principle as the big outfits used to clean the stone fronts of begrimed city buildings, is now being applied to jewelry. By means of it delicate frosted appearances can be given to gold and silver, "satin finish" for silver being one of the results. Powdered pumice is used in place of sand, and the blast pressure is very small. The Acme Bicycle Store Dealer in New and Second Handed Bicycles. Tires and Supplies. Agency on the Monarch Bicycles. K.
