A Plain Statement of Facts To the Public: We regret very much that affairs are such that we are compel- Quite different from last year, when the championship lay between Howard University and Morehouse College, the past season resulted in the leadership resting between four schools, Hampton Institute, Fisk University, Livingston College and Tuskee Institute, and the adherents of that argumentative pastime of picking the imaginary champion among the four have a beautiful problem to solve in choosing the champion. Of the leading schools, Fisk University, Tuskegee Institute and Livingston College went the season without being scored on, Howard University scored the greatest number of points against opponents, and Morehouse College, formerly Atlanta Baptist College, played the heaviest schedule and, as has been the case for several years, outclassed any other team in this state. Among the smaller schools in Georgia. Haines Institute made the best showing. It will be noticed that two of the foremost schools in former years, Meharry Medical College and Claflin University, are missing from the game this year. The athletic association of the former has been suspended by the trustees of the school, and all subsequent games will have to be played through Walden University, the literary department; and the latter was prevented from entering the game this year because of last year's fire, but will play next year. Of particular interest is, it to Savannahians to know that two local boys are among the leaders in athletics at their respective schools. They are Houston Tolbert, who was one of the backfield of Atlanta University, and Gordon Dingle, who was assistant manager of Howard University's team. -ATLANTA UNIVERSITY Atlanta 46, Clark University 0.

A Plain Statement of Facts To the Public: We regret very much that affairs are such that we are compelled to make the following statement, but in view of the fact that, a personal onslaught uncalled for, was made on us, in justice to ourselves, our friends and the cause we represent, we are compelled to act: More than twenty years ago Prof. R. R. Wright came to our community. He left his home, Augusta, amidst a storm on account of his attitude toward the leading colored citizens there. Arriving here, all classes of citizens received him with open arms. He was here but a short time before he began to antagonize some of the leading citizens in politics, which deterred the growth of his school work. In every public movement he entered against the citizens here he has lost out. Our personal troubles and legal proceedings are fresh in the minds of the people. Despite these facts, our ambition is to serve the best interest of of all the people, and for that reason, two years ago we bumbled ourselves and conferred with him about certain public affairs. Our friends followed us into his camps, and all felt that lessons of the past would act for future benefit. During the early spring of 1912, after conferring with members of the Chamber of Commerce, the organization of the Negro Civic Improvement League was perfected. The league was destined to do much good and many of the citizens entered heartily into the work. A few weeks before last Christmas Prof. Wright who was president of the league, suggested to us the raising of a Christmas fund for the poor; we readily endorsed it, and the result was an immediate meeting of the league to approve it and the selection of committee, etc. When the selection of the committee on purchasing the supplies was named, according to custom the chairmanship should have been given to another, but Prof. Wright appointed his son-in-law, Prof. L. B. Thompson, as chairman, along with Messrs J. C. Lindsay and A.B. Singfield. This committee arranged at a certain time to meet in order to make the purchases. At the time and place designated the chairman was not seen even after the committee waited about one hour and a half in the rain and cold. When the chairman was next heard from he had made nearly all the purchases without any conference with the committee. Christmas morning after the ladies had labored hard to finish filling the baskets, a number of boys from the college were seen placing tags on each package. On the tags were printed the following: "Compliments of Major R. R. Wright." The ladies were surprised to note these tags and several were indignant and became lukewarm. Two days before we suggested to the chairman of the committee to have regular tags printed with the name of the league thereon The suggestion was completely ignored. Without submitting a report, to the league a list of donations and disbursements was published in the papers. This was not satisfactory because several discrepancies were noted.

Were All Contributions to the Negro Civic Improvement League's Xmas Fund Last Year Acknowledged—Did the Chairman of the Purchasing Committee Recognize the Other Members of His Com- mittee?—Did President WigrhtSend Out the Gift in the Name of the League? —ReadAnd See. When the Negro Civie *Improvement League made its appeal to the public last year for funds for the Negro poor of Savannah, it affected all the manner of the Good Samaritan, exemplified the heroism of Florence Nightingale and for unselfishness and altruism rivalled the Lowly Nazerene. There was eloquent representation of clean and honest methods in the administration and disposition of such funds and contributions as would be collected. The people had a right to presume and expect that the movement should be free of patronage. There was a moral and legal obligation upon the League to keep the money correct. The public responded liberally and nobly to the amount of $273.85; colored people contributed $146.85. whites $127.00. The public was entitled to have a full and free publication of all receipts and disbursements in one or more of the papers of the city, after vouchers and reports were approved by the league. Did the citizens get a square deal in the administration of the fund or was the name of Charity made the means of promoting selfishness and nepotism? Let's see! First. Were all the contributions acknowledged? No. 1. Savannah, Ga., Dec. 10, 1913. I, L. E. Williams, subscribed and paid to the Negro Civic Improvement League's Xmas Fund last year five ($5 00) dollars, but did not see my name among the list of donors to the league's fund as published in the papers last January, and this regardless of the fact that the report balanced to the penny. President Wage Earners Bank. No. 2. I, Mrs. R. L. Barnes, failed to see my name among the donors to the Negro Civic Improvement League's Xmas fund report as it appeared in the papers last January. I subscribed and paid five ($5.00) dollars. Mrs. R. L. Barnes. Second, Were the funds properly expended, in accordance with the wishes of the donors and by the regularly designated Committee on Purchases, composed of L. B. Thompson, President R. R. Wright's son-in-law; J. C. Lindsay and A. B. Singfield? If not, why? Savannah, Ga.. Dec. 10, 1913 To the Public: As a member of the Purchasing Committee of the Negro Civic Improvement League, Chairman L. B. Thompson of this committee allowed me no voice in the purchases by this committee last year and I was able to find out absolutely nothing from him as to the money expended by him for the Xmas goods and did not see a single voucher for the money he claims to have spent. To the Public: As Chairman Thompson of the Purchasing Committee of the Negro Civic Improvement League's Xmas Fund last year, of which I was a member, totally ignored me in the purchases he made for the league's gifts to the poor, I know nothing at all of the purchases made by him for the league and have never seen a report from him of the expenditures. I am, Very truly yours, A. B. Singfield. Third. Wore the Christmas baskets distributed under the (Continued on page 4, column 3) Among the Masons There is glory in being a man, in all the true senses of manliness; glory well exemplifying Masonic and Knightly manhood and glory in so living that the epitaph must be: "He was a Man—Great and Good. Loving God, he greatly loves his fellowmen." Wealth may flow in streams to such a man yet he will not swell with pride nor scorn the humblest of his fellows. Honors may come unsought, and titles unwished may be conferred by loving friends and brethren, but they will beget no vanity, and when the insignia of office has been laid aside there will not be manifested any of the spirit of eminent, or most eminent, superiority over him who has not won his Masonic titles or jewels. The Man, in the true and noble sense, is what Freemasonry regards, and "Great and Good Man" is the highest honor and title that Freemasonry can bestow.—John W. Brown. Judging from the way some of the brethren discharge their Masonic duties, it is feared that they are seriously affected with the Masonic hook worm.—Tex. Freemason. "Masonry is the holy spring where faded beauty rejuvenates her image, darkened wisdom her light and weakened power her strength." Will the temple which you are building stand the test of time, built upon the rock of Truth, or will it crumble because it rests upon the foundation of error? The following is an anecdote told of a worthy member of the order, whose wife was very jealous of her husband, but learned from the incident a very salutory lesson: One evening a bundle came to his house for him, marked "private." Of course that was too much for feminine curiosity, and his wife indulged in an inspection of the contents. Horrors of horrors! Blankets, baby's linen, bird's eye, etc., greeted her astonished eyes, and visions of "two families" floated through her brain. The husband came in, and after tea, when his wife had discovered in his eye the treachery of his conduct, he took the bundle and went out, but not alone, as he thought, for the jealous wife was on his track. He stopped at the house of a friend, who joined him, carrying a similar bundle. The wife become doubly excited, the prospect of having a companion in misery not impressing her with the idea of a division of grief, but only an addition to it. She followed him closely, and they soon halted before a small tenement house, where he entered and closed the door. She was in doubt as to what tactics to follow, but determined to storm the citidel, knocked and hastily brushed by the child who appeared, and in a second burst upon the astonished husband, the embodiment of injured innocence. Her feelings were about to express themselves when the scene before her caused her to pause. A poor woman on a sick bed, a babe not old enough for christening and two little girls in bed met her eye. She read the story in a glance, but returned home under the escort of her lord and his friend, who assured her that she discovered the great secret of Masonry.—Commercial Appeal. Choose as your friends the pure tho good, the trustworthy, no, matter what their station in life or the amount of money they may have at their command. And, having chosen, hold your friends sacred possession.—MasonicNews. The concern of Freemasonry is more than of humanity than that of race or nationality.—Square and Compass. Masonic law is not an arbitrary code written in a day or a year; it is an evolution, the outgrowth of centuries of human experience and observation. Freemasonry has a splendid field for the propagation of its faith in the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. Its purposes may best be accomplished by a quiet and steadfast adherence to the ancient landmarks, as has been its custom from time immemorial. Attempts to turn it aside from its true mission into the fields of partisan strife and sectrio contention must fail now as they have ever failed.—Masonic Standard. MASONRY THE NEW RELIGION YET AS OLD AS THE WORLD We hear of "New Religions" of higher thoughts and ideals. Mankind, they say, is ready for a religion that is not sensational—that is broad enough to include all races—that is not antagonistic—but teaches equality and peace Have we not all these essentials in Masonry? Religious creeds, have many interpretations—or are at least misinterpreted Among those who know Masonry there is but one universal interpretation of its teachings. In fact, you can get any but one meaning out of "Brotherly Love, Relief and Trush?" The sublime teachings of Masonry make Perfect citizens, Ideal husbands. Manly sons, Loving fathers. This is why the fraternity has grown to be the strongest organization in the world. It has grown on merit alone. It does not attract because there are any monetary benefits to be derived by affiliation, but because it takes a man up from the crowd—clects him because he is worthy and well qualified, characterizes him as desiring to be all that is good and just what the Great Master of the Universe intended that he should be.—Exchange. Masonry should not strive to secure members; its privilege is to select only the best who seek to enter its portals.—Masonic Light. The first three degrees of Masonry are a beautiful, a vivid, and a thrilling picture of human life. Every step is an illustrative type of man, his birth, his manhood, his old age and his death. There is no more striking similitude of man in this world than is found in the beautiful and impressive ceremonies of symbolic Masonry. They bring man from darkness to the effulgent light of truth, and step by step trace his course through this life. He is led along the pathway of knowledge to a revelation of his duty to God, his neighbor and himself. In them he is reminded that in this world we are beset with temptations, must endure trials and be visited by affliction, and they point to a trust in God, a virtuous life and strength of character as the proper way to meet all trials and vicissitudes. He is told of the undeniable fact of the mutation of all earthly things, that mortality rests upon all created beings, and taught that immortality is the spark of divinity that is within man.—Missouri Freemason. The velvet moss will grow on the sterile rock, the mistletoe flourishes on the naked branches, the ivy clings to the moulding ruins, the pine and cedar remain fresh and fadeless amid the mutilation of the receding year; and Heaven be praised, something beautiful to see and grateful to the soul will in the darkest hour fate, still twine its tendrils around the crumbling altars and broken arches of the desolate temples of human hearts.—Missouri Freemason. In the Continental Army from 1775 to 1783 there were ten regularly chartered lodges. Washington was often among the visiting brothren. Let us think of what Freemasonry has done for humanity during the centuries of the past; how it has outlived all other organizations and comes down to the twentieth century with the light of eternal youth upon its brow. But we easily know to what its wonderful vitality is to be ascribed. It is to the sublime lessons it has always taught; to the lofty ideals it has always set up before its votaries; to the eternal principles it has always inculcated, and to the superior manhood these principles have always attracted to the order. The natural impulses of the soul in its conception of moral obligation of right and wrong are the underlying principles upon which the magnificent structure stands. Masonry responds to the natural beatings of the human heart in its aspirations for fraternal fellowship and the development of higher impulses of man's better nature and with its virtues and tenets of morality, its teachings of patriotism—brotherly love, relief and truth, it is the noblest factor time has ever produced for the moulding of the character of man. P. J. Martin, Grand Master o Iowa. Home Amusements "What are you doing at your house now to fill up the evenings?" "We gather in a family circle and guess what it is the baby wants when he's crying. It's really more exciting than bridge."—Kansas City Journal. ```markdown ``` MODEL WITH LAPPED SECTIONS. The new coats show deep yokca lapping downward and wedge shaped fronts lapping leftward. This coat, made by a famous Parisian tailor, is in lapped effect and is of leather brown duvetyn with skunk fur trimming. A Momuz. Have you ever heard a grumbler called a Momus? Momus in Greek legend was the god of mockery, whose chief joy in existence was to find fault with mortals and immortals as well when the occasion offered. Upon one occasion Neptune, Minerva and Vulcan contested the point as to which was the best artist, and Momus was appointed to sit in judgment upon their respective merits. Nentune made a bull in his best style. Minerva fashioned a house. Vulcan made a man. Momus decided that Vulcan's man was not perfect because he had neglected to put a window in his chest so that his creature's thoughts could be read by all who wished to know of what he was thinking. Minerva's house did not suit him because it was not movable and therefore could not be shifted out of the way when trouble threatened or meddlesome neighbors tried to peer in. Neptune's bull, said Momus, was very imperfect because its horns were too near the front of its head. So furious were the gods at his decisions upon their best work that they banished him from heaven. Shortly afterward, it is said, Momus died of a broken heart because he could find no flaw in the peerless beauty of Venus. Juvenile Attire. Coats for little girls are most attractive this winter.

To Keep a Stove Top Clean. If you are using a gas or oil stove, or even the range, this is a good plan when frying: Use an asbestos mat, the size of the stove top, with openings made the size of the lids. Place this mat on the stove when doing considerable frying, and it will prevent the stove from becoming very messy. MEN TAKE NOTICE!

Now that the Christmas season is fast approaching, when tragedies resulting from the careless and too ready use of firearms are most frequent a warning to our young people against the carrying of concealed weapons of any kind may not be amiss. It is indeed a fact that no less than nineteenth of the killings which take place results from the presence of a revolver on the person of one or both of the parties who may be in a controversy with each other. In the absence of a revolver or any other dangerous weapons, many of the homicides resulting nowadays would not be. On the other hand the opponents in a controversy or difficulty would settle their differences with weapons, if at all that are not as death dealing as the deadly revolver or dirk so often used. A concealed weapon on the person of a perfectly calm person brings to him some little excitation. Much more is this true in the case of a person who may be party to a controversy. He imagines that he has grievances; that he has been humilated, that he has been embarrassed, hence he seeks to vindicate himself by making use of the weapon at hand. The carrying of concealed weapons is a cursed habit. It is fraught with many dangers. Sensible people refrain from so doing. We sincerely hope that our young people will become likewise and rid themselves if they have it, of this base and dangerous habit. "There is so much bad in the best of us and so much good in the worst of us, that it hardly behooves any of us to talk about the rest of us." The foregoing truism made famous by the Kansas Executive of a few years ago is just as much an aphorism to-day as it was when it was first given to the world by its author. There is no denying the fact that there are good people in the world and bad ones too. The best of them are not all good; neither is the worst of them all bad. All have their virtues and vices. Some an abundance of the one and a scarcity of the other; others vice versa. No man is all good; neither is any man all bad. We all have our faults. Likewise, we have our virtues or traits commendable. If this be true, then no man should assume the responsibility of assigning with himself the office of public censor unless he is absolutely cocksure of two things, viz: first, that his own hands are clean and second, that his battle for the right is pitched on a plane so far and anything that smacks of selfishness or design that the good of the whole people will be uppermost in his mind at every step taken by him. For many years, while it has not been our policy to wince at evil and evil doers, for we have repeatedly hewn to the line, letting the chips fall where they may, at the same time, we have refrained from agitating any question or putting on the calcium light of publicity and investigation upon any individual or corporation whenever any other means would suffice as a reformative measure. In our campaign for civic righteousness and racial advancement, our policy has been, "all men up and no man down." We have used the tameest and most conservative methods known to us in dealing with recalcitrants among us, indulging in radical measure only when all other means fail to bring the prodigal back to his senses as regard his duty to his people and community. Adhering to our announced policy we have, for a whole year, refrained from giving publicity to a public grievance, but matters have so shaped themselves that there is present occasion to inform our people and the community concerning affairs of much moment to them, of which they know but little. In so doing, we do not wish to be regarded as indulging in the least radicalism at this late day or giving vent to any pent up personal spleen animosity within us. This is not so. We have only one object in view, viz: the good of the whole people. And with this object in view, we willhew to the line letting the chips fall where they may. (Continued from First Page.) Two attempts were made since to have a meeting especially to consider the report of receipts and disbursements, but these attempts were unsuccessful, even the chairman was absent each time. During this year there has been no meeting whatever of the league. About two months ago the associate director of the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes, visited the city and conferred with several of the citizens. This conference resulted in the permanent organization of the Savannah branch. At a meeting held November 28 those present noted the fact that Prof. Wright had personally stated in one of the daily papers that he individually would receive donations for the city's poor and same should be sent to him at Thunderbolt. The men considered the actions of the previous year, and resented such an announcement from a man who is not even a citizen of Savannah. It was unanimously decided that a committee be appointed to solicit funds for this purpose. All of this was done without our suggestion, but which met our hearty approval. After this committee went heartily to work then Prof. Wright saw the folly of doing the work individually, then fell back on the defunct Civic League and called to his aid men who were never identified with the league and stated that they are officers. None of us expected that personalities would be used in the affair, other than official actions. Prof Wright has seen fit to drag this in, and tried hard to inflame the white business men against us by appealing to prejudice and feeling and making assertions that he can not substantiate about us. Following in his arti Following is his articel in the Morning News: Editor Morning News—I notice in the Morning News a statement of Sol Johnson attacking me and the Civic League. I have not the slightest objection to the attack, except that it is in every particular untrue. The statement of receipts and disbursements of funds by the pacific league was rendered by the secretary, L. B. Thompson; and the treasurer Rev. K. H. Singleton, pastor of St. Philip A. M. E. Church. The statement by L. B. Thompson of the purchasing committee was published in the Tribune and in the Morning News. There was omitted two names from the list. This ought to have been detected by Sol Johnson when he published his statement in his paper, but he did not make the correction "It is a mistake to say that there was no meeting of the league during the year. There were three or four meetings at Sol Johnson's office. Sol Johnson was the secretary and was directed to notify the members of the meetings. 'This he confastantly neglected to do and consequently there were but few present at these meetings but they were never the less meetings of the league and not only were the Christ mas gifts sent in the name of the league but were photographed at the Tribune office where a very large number of the committee were on the photograph and they were carried out to the persons by men and women. Not a single gift was presented to anyone by the president. "Sol Johnson and his associates were dissatisfied because the league did not continue to rent an office in his building and secondly, because the committee refused to spend all the money with certain colored merchants which Sol Johnson and one or two others named. The committee felt that inasmuch as white merchants and other white people contributed the larger amount of the fund, that it was proper and right that the articles to be distributed should be purchased from merchants whether white or colored who would sell them at the lowest rate. This is what the committee did. The president of the association was not a member of the purchasing committee, and in no way whatever handled any of the funds except as a solicitor and the funds were turned over to the treasurer and expended by the committee "The name of every donor was published at one time or another in three papers. The only grievances are that we failed to continue to rent an office in the Tribune building, property of Sol Johnson, and that the committee failed to purchase the greater part of its Christmas gifts from colored merchants suggested by Sol Johnson or his immediate friends. * He begun by stating that we attacked him. 'Our name along with several others was signed to an article. The article simply stated that the league received no report of the last Christmas funds and distribution; that no meeting was held during the year, and that his personal cards were used on the packages to the poor. We have offered to give one hundred dollars to any designated charity, if he can prove these three charges are untrue. He accuses us of not sending notices for the meetings. Those who know us best can certify as to our faithfulness along lines of this kind. This also proves that the president was not able to conduct the affairs of the league, if he was, he would have seen that either the assistant secretary or some one else send out the notice in order that a meeting be held, especially if he was so deeply concerned in the success of the league and the interest of the poor. No one charged that the gifts were presented by him; the charge is that his personal cards were used on the packages. He states that we and our associates were dissatisfied because the league discontinued renting an office from us. To what depths some men will stoop. We have gained nothing nor lost nothing, by not receiving rents from the league. Mr. McDowell who is assistant secretary of this league and who kept all records and sent out all notices, etc., had a suite of rooms in our building, and is yet a renter. The league arranged with him for space. He should be dissatisfied, not we. He appealed to race prejudice and feeling by stating that we favored the spending of the money with colored merchants. We are proud that we are always on the alert and loyal to the race. Even our white friends commend us for doing so. But is his assertion that the whites contributed a larger amount of the cash true? Let us see: Total cash received according to newspaper reports $273.85. The whites contributed $127.00, the colored $146.85. According to his idea of division the colored merchants should have received $146.85 worth of patronage. We are willing to declare that less than $50.00 was spent with them. The purpose of President Wright in this article is clearly seen. His endeavors were to be cloud the contentions by a fine play of words, but we will not allow him to, but, bring him right back to the three main contentions; let him disapprove them satisfactory. We regret the necessity of making this statement, but in justice to ourselves it had to be done. Below,will be found the amount we will offer to any charity if he can prove that our assertions are not true. Reward For Charity We will give one hundred dollars to any designated charity, if Prof. R. R. Wright, President of the Georgia State Industrial College, would legally prove the following: 1. That the Negro Civic Improvement League held meetings during the year, even one. 2. That his son-in-law, L. B. Thompson, rendered any report to the League of his disbursements of the Christmas fund of' 1912. 3. That his personal cards were not used on the packages to the poor, printed, "Compliments of Major R. R. Wright." These are our contentions; let him prove them or forever stand condemned. Sol. C. Jonson. In The Name of Charity (Continued from First Page.) auspices of the Negro Civic Improvement League as the gifts of the charitable people of Savannah? The president had attached to the baskets these cards: On nine tenths of the cards, printed, was this: "Compliments of On the face of the remaining one tenth was the same wording as above, printed, but on the back of these cards, typewritten, was: Committee on Arrangements L. B. Thompson, Chairman J. C. Lindsay A. B. Singfield" It can be seen from this that the gifts were sent out by President Wright as a personal gift, and that the use of the League's name on one tenth of the cards appears to have been merely an incident. What a travesty on Charity! Very respectfully, L. E. Williams J. C. Lindsay A. B. Singfield C. A. R. McDowell J. H Butler Funeral Notice The friends and acquaintances of Mr. and Mrs. W. H.

It is a detective story in every sense of the word, but unlike other tales of its kind, it deals with the actual tracing down of one of the greatest wire-tappers, forgers, bank burglars, &c., that the police have ever had to deal with. Be sure and read this first instalment and you will surely take pleasure in following this great story to its end. Order the Sunday World in advance. ComingEvents in the jup World.

COLORBED CATHOLIC CATED NEW HOME When the big parade reached the new home of the St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church at 2721 Pine street last Sunday, at least 5000 people were gathered to witness the formal dedication. Escorted by a detachment of police, the parade composed of white and colored societies left the old church at Fourteenth and Gay streets promptly at 2 o'clock and was at the new home in time for the ceremonies at 3. Archbishop Glennon was the principal speaker. After congratulating the colored Catholics, he gave some valuable general advice to all. Among the statements made was one where he counseled the colored people to support the business and professional men in their own race; also that there is no need of looking up to the white people, but out to themselves for advancement. He was in excellent voice and his remarks were well received. Mayor Kiel made an address of congratulation and stated he, was there because he owed himself to the people and to the Negro in particular for what they had done for him. After a few stirring remarks by Rev. Father McGuire, the pastor, the remaining program was carried out on the inside of the edifice. Father Dunne's Newbsboys' Band and the Pythian Cadet Band gave a serenade after the service.—St. Louis Argus. A COLORED MAN'S THANKS GIVING FOR HIS SKIN One year The Congregationalist asked a number of men for what blessing they were most thankful. Among all the answers this from William Pickens, of Talladega, Ala., a Negro, stood out alone. He was thankful for being black. "I cannot answer in two hundred words; I could not answer in two thousand words. And yet I might indicate the answer in a single word; I am thankful that I am one of the lowly. That being one of the lowly I have the gracious opportunity of interested struggle if I would rise even a little way. That I was not born on the top of the hill, but must climb. That I have at least a chance to learn the whole way is before me. I thank God that I can have an enlightened sympathy for the lowly, and a faith in the friends of the lowly. That my own experience of the goodness of the men who are up, forbids me to say or think that all men are selfish and-sordid. Nay, more, that I am learning to look at the worst deeds of my fellow-man as sad mistakes rather than monstrous meannesses—and that in consequence I hate no man. Pity is more reasonable than hate. "I thank heaven that I have been born into a great country, where there are great rivers to cross and great mountains to climb—great fights" to fight and great problems to solve. "White reader, I am glad that I am black and that you are white—and that you and I must live in the same country, with the same laws, the same language, and the religion. In that rare mixture of sameness and difference of unity and variety, you and I have the most enviable opportunity of all history to help the providence of God in establishing the fact of the brotherhood of man. It is better that you are white and that I am black. The measure of our difference is the measure of our opportunity. If both were white or both were black—'if ye love them which love you'—then our opportunity for reaching toward God would not be better than that of a thousand monochromic civilizations of the dead Past. With all our heart thank God that you and I have the peculiar privilege to justify the ways of God to man!" S. W. Christian Advocate. FIVE JUSTICES AT HIS BIER Supreme Court Pays Unusual Tribute to Veteran Negro Employe As a last tribute to a faithful servant, five members of the United States Supreme Court, including Chief Justice White, crowded into the humble home of Archie Lewis, the court's Negro messenger, yesterday, and were present during the funeral services of the aged man. Lewis, who had been an employee of the court for almost sixty-four years, had always been true to his duty, and all of the justices were fond of him. The funeral was held from his small home on M. Street, near New Jersey Avenue. "He was a man of great character," said Justice Willis Van Deventer. He had a wonderful disposition, and endeared himself to associates and myself. He worked up to a few days ago, and died rather suddenly Wednesday." The justices who attended the funeral were Chief Justice Edward Douglass White, Justices Willis Van Devanter, Joseph Lamar, William R. Day and Oliver Wendell Holmes.—Washington Post. CUTODIAN RESIGN Because McAdoo Would Not Accept Resignation of Negro Raleigh, N. C., November 22. Because Secretary McAdoo would not accept the resignation of Patrick Norwood, Negro laborer in the federal building, Collector J. W. Bailey, custodian of the building, resigned today. Bailey asked the Negro to resign, because of dissatisfaction with his work. Norwood sent his resignation to Washington. The department replied that no charges had been made and refused to allow Norwood to retire. Collector Bailey then wrote the department that if Bailey is not allowed to choose his office servants he will ask the custodianship to go to other hands. Mother and Daughter Mother and Daughter This is an age of conservation. We are making laws to protect our forests, our water power, our minerals, and all of our natural resources. Incidentally, too, we are turning our attention to the conservation, of man woman and child. But we are not by half much interested in the conservation of child—the female child, as we should be. The female child is the most important thing that God has given us, and yet, strange as it is, this female child, hardly receives in rearing the attention, care and close watching that is bestowed upon thoroughbred animals of the lower creation. The mother bird never forsakes the little bird until it can fly: the mother animal grows ferocious and dangerous when she fears danger to her offspring. Instinct always protects its young, while reason too frequently allows her young to go it alone and paddle their own canoe. The absolute neglect of which so many mothers are guilty is a thing which startles How many girls are on the downward road to hell today, whose misfortunes are directly chargeable to their mother's neglect? How many mothers of today seek to make companions of their daughters? How many mothers are there who know of their daughters' companions and the places they visit? How many mothers are there who know where their daughters are at nightfall? How many mothers are there who permit their daughters of tender years to attend churches, balls, parties, picnics, socials and all sorts of places of amusement without being properly chaparoned? Some mothers, by their acts, seem to care less for their daughters, than the dumb animals care for their offspring. The purity—physical, bodily purity of our daughters should be our first and over weening care. We should hedge them in as far as possible from vice and temptation which stalketh abroad at noon day. We should not allow them to grow up blindfolded. Old fashioned prudery should give place to good common sense, and the mother's guiding hand, and the mother's loving, instructive voice should point out to the daughter, first that she is fearfully and wonderfully made; next how to know sin and vice, though wrapped in silk and broadcloth, and lastly, how to flee when sin comes regardless of whatever mask under which it may hide. The Mother and the Daughter! How many daughters are dead in their graves; how many daughters are dead in trespasses and sin, whose blood is upon their mother's heads? The most sacred duty on earth, is the duty which the mother owes the daughter. -St. Luke Herald. --- Emerson's Breakfast Pie. Emerson's period of literary production might have been considerably longer had he followed the light breakfast regime advocated by the London Lancet. In one of Mr. H. J. Warner's letters to his wife he writes: "We are all human, and we all need cheering cups, but no pie at breakfast! It was pie at breakfast that broke down Emerson prematurely. No human being, however well, can live long and keep his mind unclouded on pie at breakfast. Emerson lost his mind or memory—at a much earlier period than he would have been likely to lose it owing to the vicious habit of pie at breakfast." First Aid to the Teacher.

SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson X.—Fourth Quarter, For Dec. 7, 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Josh. vi, 8-11, 14-20—Memory Verse, 20—Golden Text, Mark ix, 23—Commentary by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The story of the Lord's doings on behalf of Israel reached the ears of many people and melted their hearts and took away their pride (Josh. v, 1). Man's doings do not work that way, but rather tend to self exaltation. It is therefore easy to tell whether a work is of the Lord or of men. Israel shall yet praise the Lord, proclaim His name, declare His doings among the people (Isa. xii, 4). But all believers should be doing it now, praising His works, declaring His mighty acts (Ps. exxv, 4). Since He is ever waiting to work in us and through us, why not humbly yield and let Him, that He may be glorified? Chapter v, 2-9, tells of the rite of circumcision, which had not been performed since they left Egypt. Circumcision is suggestive of a work in the believer, for it was given to Abraham as a seal of the righteousness which he had, yet being uncircumcised (Rom. iv, 11). It signified even to Israel a work in the heart, the renouncing of the flesh and true humility before God (Lev. xxv1, 41). Chapter v, 10, tells of the keeping of the third passover, for we do not read that they observed it during all their wanderings. See the other two in Ex. xll, 6; Num. ix, 5, and note that this also teaches man's helplessness and the mighty hand of the Lord and points onward to the approaching deliverance of Israel from all nations (Ex. xll, 26, 27; Jer. xxill, 5-8; Luke xxll, 15, 16). The manna, the food from heaven, continued all through the forty years, notwithstanding their murmurings and rebellings, until at Gilgal they ate of the old corn of the land (verses 11, 12). In chapter v, 13-15, we have a test for Joshua. He had just been appointed as the new leader in the place of Moses and had been honored as such at the Jordan. Has he become proud and self sufficient, or is he still meek and submissive? Near Jericho he saw a man with a drawn sword who announced that he was the captain of the host of the Lord. Will Joshua stand on his dignity as the new leader or accept this other? See and hear him. He fell on his face and did worship and said, "What saith my Lord unto his servant?" He won and was safe as a leader and loosed his shoe from off his foot, as he was told to do, thus acknowledging another as proprietor (Ex. iii. 5; Ruth iv. 7). If we would only live with shoes off, what might we not see of the wonderful working of the Lord! But in order to see the power of God and His working we must be willing to do as seemingly ridiculous things as bearing the ark and stepping into the water expecting it to stop flowing or marching round Jericho blowing trumpets of rams' horns and expecting the walls to fall down. What I have in mind is something like this: Conducting a religious paper without an advertisement of any kind to help make it go; running a church (to use a common phrase) without having lectures or festivals or entertainments of any kind to help pay expenses; believing that Bible studies, expositions of the word of God, are what people need and want rather than sermons or essays on popular topics; teaching that the same Jesus will return in person to set up a kingdom of peace and righteousness on this earth and that He is only waiting until the church. His body, shall be gathered from all nations, that He may receive her to Himself are He shall return in glory; that these truths will lead people to give gladly to missions without personal solicitation, even to the extent of giving $2 or more to missions for every dollar spent at home. I know that such things seem to many religious people as wild vagaries, and yet I have personally proved the blessing of the Lord in these matters or in most of them for over twenty years. The ark of the covenant which was se prominent at the crossing of the Jordan is mentioned ten times in versus 4-13, of our lesson chapter, reminding us of the words of our Lord in John xv. 5, "Without Me ye can do nothing." The trumpets of rams' horns tell of atonement by the precious blood of the substitute (Gen. xxll, 13), so both the ark and the trumpets and the priests, all speak of Him who alone can divide the sea or the river or throw down a Jericho and who says to all who are willing to walk with Him, "I am with you." "I will work and who shall hinder it?" (Isa. xlll. 10; xlll. 13). In verse 2 of our lesson the Lord said unto Joshua, "See. I have given into thine hand Jericho," and yet to possess it he had to be obedient and do just as he was told. All things are ours in Christ, but we possess our possessions only by believing. Thirteen times they marched around the city with no sound but the trumpets until the last round, when at the word from Joshua the people shouted with a great shout, the walls fell flat, and all living creatures were destroyed except those who had gathered in the house of Rahab (verses 10, 29, 21, 23, 26).

Judge Norton was solemn, stern and dignified to excess. He was also egotistical and sensitive to ridicule. Judge Nelson was a wilt and careless of decorum. He did not like Judge Norton. At a bar supper Judge Norton in an elaborate speech, referring to the early days of Wisconsin, described with tragic manner a thunderstorm which once overtook him in riding the circuit. The scene was awful, "and," said the judge, "I expected every moment the lightning would strike the tree under which I had taken shelter." "Then," interrupted Nelson, "why in thunder didn't you get under another tree?"—Philadelphia Ledger. Ivory Knife Handles. All ivory knife handles are apt to become discolored and to go a silight yellow color after long use and exposure to the air. The first thing to be done to restore the color is to scrape the handle with a sharp steel scraper. The scraper should be sharpened by holding it in a vertical position and rubbing it on an oil stone until a wire edge comes on. Scrape the handle until quite white and all signs of discoloration have disappeared and then rub with No. 0 sandpaper until all scratches become invisible. Queer Welsh Superstitions. Some of the old Welsh death and funeral customs are curious, as, for instance, the opening of the windows when a person was dying. Many years ago when a gentleman at Devil's Bridge, Cardiganshire, was passing away all the boxes, drawers, etc., in the house were unlocked, as it was thought that anything fastened would hinder the flight of the spirit. This superstition is also known in Devon and Cornwall, and in Gloucestershire the door is opened at death—Cardiff Western Mall. The Name "Gas" Who first used the word "gas," and why? Merely because of the supposed resemblance of the product of burning carbon to the "chaos" of the Greeks. "This spirit, hitherto unknown," wrote the experimenter Van Helmont in 1648, "I call by the name of gas, and I call it so because, being untamable, it is scarcely distinguishable from the chaos of the ancients." A glimpse at modern gas devices will show how far removed from untamability in this gas of today. A MUCH NEEDED REFORM. Although stock shipments have been increasing in volume steadily during the past sixty years and have reached huge proportions within the past fifteen years, only recently has a move been made which has in view prevention of the recurring weekly congestion of stock shipments at large markets. Taking Chicago as an example, this congestion of traffic has usually occurred on Mondays and Wednesdays. The result of this system, which there is good reason to believe big packing interests have encouraged in the past, raisers and shippers of live stock have sustained immense losses through having to sell on a gluttoned market. Besides this, railroads and their employees have been swamped with traffic and have also suffered loss through congestion and delays. With a view to giving the new plan publicity, circulars have been prepared and distributed in which shippers are encouraged to distribute their stock shipments over five days in the week instead of concentrating them on two days. Shippers of live stock, who without question have been the chief losers as a result of the system which has prevailed, should welcome the new order, which should mean better service and more even prices. WINDMILLS AS ELECTRIC GENERATORS Those in any way interested in the use of wind power as a means of generating electrical power will be interested in bulletin No. 105, lately published by the North Dakota experiment station. The bulletin is a reprint of a thesis prepared by one of the graduates of the agricultural college and is entitled "Windmill Electric Lighting and Power." The writer takes up in detail and quite technically the development of his own windmill electric plant. He seems to have worked out the problem of regulating and controlling the speed of his windmill. Another difficulty, that of preventing the loss of electricity through leakage from his storage batteries, he has overcome by the use of a check valve and switchboard. The electricity generated by this plant is used for lighting house and barn; also to run all kinds of farm machinery requiring a turning wheel. It also heats electric stoves and flat-frons and operates the washing machine, sewing machine and vacuum cleaner. From figures presented the cost of furnishing electricity by this windmill plant is shown to be about one-third that where gasoline or steam is used as a source of power. IMMENSE SUPPLIES OF POTASH. A party of scientists in the service of the United States department of agriculture spent the past summer along the Alaskan coast investigating the possibilities of using the giant kelp or seaweed as a source of potash for use as a fertilizer. Many beds were found that contained large quantities of the kelp. The size of some of these seaweeds may be gathered from a statement by Professor Griggs of the Ohio State university, who said on his return that he saw single leaves of these weeds that were eight feet wide and up to seventy-five feet long. Samples of the weeds were taken in different places, and these are now being tested by the government. These kelp groves have the power of extracting large quantities of potash from the sea water, and the process of converting the kelp into fertilizer is comparatively simple. It is hoped that this new industry may be developed to the point where it will give relief to American farmers and gardeners from the exactions of the German potash monopoly. WHY THEY SOLD WELL THE time is gone by when farmers should be content with raising bovines and calling them cows merely because they happen to have hides, horns and hoofs. The point of this remark will be the clearer when it is stated that at a cattle sale in a western dairy state ordinary grade cows sold for an average price of $130 a head. These grades were Holstelns and belonged to men who were members of a county cow testing association. Buyers who came to the sale were perfectly willing to pay a high price if they could get a cow whose record they could inspect and that they were convinced could deliver the goods. One of these grades brought $190. The facts of this sale should have a suggestion for farmers who have been milking cows year after year simply because they have worn an innocent look or a pleasant smile. FATTENING CHICKENS. A good deal more might be realized by farmers who have considerable numbers of chickens to market in the fall if they would catch them ten days or two weeks before the day of marketing and confine them in fattening coops. Inexpensive coops or crates may be made about 4 by 8 feet and high enough so the chickens can stand up. A V shaped trough should be fixed just outside the coop from which the chickens may eat by putting their heads between the slats. A standard fattening ration is made by mixing ground corn with sour milk or buttermilk. The mixture should be wet, but not sloppy. Fresh water should be given daily in quart cans placed high enough so that the chickens will not get their feet in them. J. C.

A by American Press Association One of the sights of London is the costermonger when he is arrayed in gala attire. The costermonger, as many of our young readers may not know, is a peddler of fish or vegetables, and he travels the streets of London in his barrow, which is a small wagon drawn by a donkey. When dressed for a holiday the costermonger is a sight to behold. He wears a suit of velvet decorated with rows and circles or whatever figure suits his fancy all done with pearl buttons. Some of them have been known to disport a costume with 70,000 pearl buttons sewed on as a decoration, and the young people of his family are similarly clothed on special occasions—such as a picnic or other outings. The girls in the picture are costermongers' daughters. Their velvet costumes are covered with pearl buttons, as the photograph discloses. They were dancing at a picnic when the photographer passed that way and caught them in action. What Every Girl Can Do. The Girl's World suggests fifteen things which every girl can learn before she is fifteen. Not every one can learn to play or sing or paint well enough to give pleasure to her friends, but the following "accomplishments" are within every girl's reach: Always know where your things are. Learn to make bread as well as cake. Keep your own room in tasteful order. Never come to breakfast without a od尔. Never go about with your shoes un- buttoned. Never let a button stay off twenty- four hours. Speak clearly enough for everybody to understand. Be patient with the little ones, as you wish your mother to be with you. Never let the day pass without doing something to make somebody comfortable. The girl who has thoroughly learned all this might be called "a mistress of arts." The Weathercocks. Any number of players may take part in this game, which is really good fun. The four corners of the room are named after the four points of the compass, north being diagonal to west, the rest are weathercocks. The latter should stand in a line in the center of the room. When the wind points to one corner, calling out the name of that direction, the weathercocks must immediately face the opposite direction. Thus if the wind says south they face north, and so on. If he should name a point they are already facing they must remain perfectly still. When the wind cries "Variable," the vane must raise themselves to their tips and sway back and forth until the name of one of the cardinal points is again called, when, as before, they turn to the opposite point. Whenever the wind shouts "Storm" or "Tempest," each vane must whirl completely around three times. Any player failing to observe any of these orders, which are more confusing than they sound, must forfeit some article, such as a handkerchief, hair ribbon or trinket, to be redeemed by a humorous "stunt" after the game is over. Arrowheads The Indian art of making arrowheads is being practiced by white men, who use them for commercial purposes and sell them as old and genuine. The flint is not chipped with stone or metal, as you may have imagined, but with water. An Indian wishing to make an arrowhead held a piece of flint in fire until it was sizzling hot, then allowed a drop of water to drip from a stick upon the spot be wished to chip away. The sudden cooling made the flint chip off at once. The only cunning necessary in the art was the shaping of the arrowhead, and so it was not so difficult a thing as most white men imagine. Dolly's Bedtime. Dolly's Bedtime. My dolly is very sleepy. She ought to go straight to bed. Her lovely blue eyes are blinking; She's nodding her golden head. But she's such a dear little dolly I think I will let her stay Until grampa throws down his paper And cries us both away.

The names of the Successful winners of the Colored Dolls in Scott Bros. window will be announced on the night of the 23d. Tuesday, Oct. 28, was apple day, and, according to produce papers, it had a decidedly stimulating effect upon apple prices at that time. In many large cities posters were displayed calling attention to the day, some of them concluding with the sentiment, "Health's best way—eat apples every day." Those who handle gasoline should keep in mind the fact that throwing water on a blaze caused by it does not help matters, but, rather, makes them worse, in that it does not put the fire out, but scatters it. A far better means of putting out such a blaze is by beating or smothering it with a sack or blanket. It is no wonder that the tribe of those who seem to get along without working is a numerous one when suckers are running around without a label who can be sold on sight a large city block for $25 or who will pay a stranger $5 or $10 to go into a big building and set machinery in motion which will turn it around. Thomas Barron, the breeder of champion laying breeds, makes a specialty of furnishing eggs for the market, and in his pens, comprising several hundreds of layers, he allows no birds of the male persuasion, since it has been demonstrated in his own experience and that of other poultrymen that unfertilized eggs keep best. A very effective method of overcoming the annoyance resulting from the action of creosote on metal extensions of kitchen chimneys is by substituting two or three joints of seven or eight inch diameter glazed sewer tile. The first length should be securely cemented to the top of the chimney, small end up, and other lengths placed on top of this. Being placed thus, sewer piping is moisture tight, and this prevents action by the creosote. Hard maple, which is used in the manufacture of a great variety of things in common use, from flooring to shoe lasts and rolling pins, though among the toughest and hardest of woods and prized chiefly for these qualities, decays rapidly when used as post timber. The total cut of hard maple in the United States is 1,150,000,000 feet annually. Nearly one-half of this is produced by Michigan, with Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia following in the order named. From reports that come from several sections of the country it is apparent that the growing of ginseng on a commercial scale has been a delusion and a disappointment to a good many folks who hoped to achieve a fortune thereby. It is likely that, where one person has really made a good profit in growing the herb, scores have made a fizzle of it. Before taking up this business a novice would do well to get the addresses of several ginseng companies and get their quotations on the roots and berries cash, f. o. b. shipping point. It is well to get these quotations before one pays high prices for seeds or lays out much cash in sheds. A friend who has a position as a rural mall carrier has for some years past devoted the spare time not used on his route during the spring and summer to intensive gardening on half an acre of land. Last year products to the value of $240 were sold from this garden, and our friend estimates that the fruits and vegetables used by his family just about offset the work which the garden required. This case is not reported because it is exceptional, for much larger incomes than this have been got from half an acre of land, but simply to show what one man did by the intelligent use of his spare time. He used both brains and fertilizers in his garden operations and was well repaid for his efforts. It is a big jump from the hundreds of thousands of bushels of apples that went to rot in many parts of the country during September and early October and could hardly be disposed of at any price to the barreled stock of very mediocre grade that is now selling at from $5 to $6 per barrel on retail markets. The contrast indicated constitutes one of the greatest economic sins of the present day—the pitiful inadequacy of our system of distribution and methods of preserving perishable fruit and vegetable products. It is seen on every hand at certain seasons of the year—lavish abundance in one section or in one season of the year and dearth and scarcity, with prohibitive prices, in another section or at another time. Those who in any substantial way help to solve this twofold problem will stand as benefactors of their fellow men. Werner Kretmer, a young farmer nineteen years old, who lives in Will county, Ill., began some time ago studying bulletins that were issued by the college of agriculture of the University of Illinois. As a result of this course of education, conducted in his own home, the productiveness of his father's farm has been increased 40 per cent by the introduction of scientific methods of farming which these bulletins recommended. Increased earnings that resulted from this better farming enabled this boy to buy a quarter section farm at a cost of $40,-000. It is well now and then to report instances of this kind to encourage boys who for one reason or another do not have opportunity to take even a short course at their state agricultural college. This young man simply got hold of definite and practical information and mixed his brains and muscles with it. The upshot was success, spelled in good sized letters.

Savannah, Ga. Farm and Garden The Sunken Type Best For Raising Early Plants From Seed. Of the several types of hotbeds in general use the sunken or pit type is, all things considered, the best for the raising of early plants from seed. This style of bed is constructed by excavating a pit six feet wide and two and one-half feet deep and as long as necessary to accommodate the number of 3 by 6 foot sash it is desired to use. The sides of the pit are boarded up with rough lumber nailed/to posts which may be placed three feet or more apart. If some degree of permanence is desired good material will not be used. Chestnut lumber is very serviceable and reasonably cheap; spruce comes next in point of durability and cheapness. The sides of the pit should be raised above the surface of the ground twenty inches at the back and twelve inches in front. This will provide ample pitch to the sash for shedding rain and also be of sufficient angle for good construction of the sun's rays and heat. Good sash should be used. The location of the hotbed should be chosen where the natural drainage is good and, if possible, where there is a good windbreak at the north side. If a suitable sheltered spot is not available then a tight board fence six feet high and extending several feet beyond each end of the hotbed should be ```markdown ``` erected to break off the cold north winds. Without such a windbreak it will be almost impossible to raise early plants successfully in the hotbed. The windbreak should be about five feet away from the north side of the frame. The heating material for the hotbed should be horse manure fresh from the stable, to which should be added, when accessible, one-half its bulk of forest leaves. If these are not available straw or hay may be used. The manure and added material is to be thoroughly mixed and formed into a conical heap to undergo fermentation. In the formation of this heap it should be trodden down in successive layers of a foot in depth until the heap is four feet or more in height. The base of the heap should be of sufficient diameter to insure good fermentation in the severest winter weather. All the material used for heating should be well dampened before putting it in the pile or the fermentation will not be evenly distributed. Care must be taken that no frozen material is put in the heap or fermentation will be slow and may greatly interfere with the operator's plans of an early sowing of seed.—Rural New Yorker. Celery Storage. Hotbeds and cold frames are quite satisfactory for storing celery. They may either be dug out deeper or have another set of boards on top to give the required height. The plants are set in the frame close together and then covered with boards lapped to shed rain. In very cold localities such frames are covered with sash, over which are mats covered with boards. Ventilation must be given on warm days by blocking up the sash. Celery is also stored satisfactorily in trenches, with the boards used in blanching nailed in V shape and placed over the top. If warm weather follows the troughs are blocked up to admit air. When frost comes a light furrow is thrown up along the boards and later manure is thrown over them, but this trench plan is usually adopted when the crop is to be sold early in the winter. Tops of celery should always be dry when it is stored, and some soil is lifted with the plants. It must be stored before hard freezing. "GOING TO LAW." When a written contract is made, do not allow the other party to carry it away. Have it made in duplicate, so that each party may keep a copy. A rural carrier is required to travel his route in its entirety each day on which service is to be performed unless it is absolutely impossible for him to do so because of extraordinary weather or road conditions. Complaints of irregularities in the rural mall service when submitted to the postoffice bureau with all the facts in the case will receive careful consideration. Native—Yes, sir, he may be the richest man in town, but he does a lot to disturb the peace. Visitor—Is he dissipated? Native—No; 'tain't that, but he practically supports the village brass band—New York Times. R. E. PHARROW General Contractor HOME OFFICE; 202 Odd Fellows Building ATLANTA, Ga.
