row-Both Churches Will End
Celebration Next Week-Oldest Negro Baptist Churches
In Country
Savannah, as is known by many persons, possesses the two oldest Negro Baptist Churches in the country, and in commemoration of their one hundred and twenty sixth anniversary these two churches will celebrate next week. The two churches that hold this distinction are the First Bryan Baptist church, Rev. Daniel Wright, pastor, and the First African Baptist church, Franklin square, the former having begun its nine days of celebration on Wednesday of last week, and the latter starting tomorrow. Both churches will terminate their celebration next week, the First Bryan Baptist ending on Wednesday night and the First African Baptist closing Friday night.
During the 126 years, the First Bryan Baptist church has been served by eleven pastors, and the First African Baptist church has had seven pastors. The anniversary sermon of the First Bryan Baptist church will be preached Wednesday night by the Rev. P. J. Bryant of Atlanta, and that of the First African Baptist church will be delivered by the Rev. P. S. L. Hutchins, of Columbus, on Tuesday night.
On page two will be found pictures of the first edifice established by the Negro Baptists, the likeness of Rev. Daniel Wright and an interior view of the First Bryan Baptist church, and on the opposite page will be found the program of the First African Baptist church.
BILLY KING
Mr. Billy King Now Has Charge of Star Theater
Mr. Billy King, head of the Billy King stock company which has been playing at the Star Theater, for the past four weeks in now in charge of that theater and from now on will conduct his shows on a percentage basis. Mr. King is one of the best known Negro performers of the country and the patrons of the Star Theater will be pleased to know that he will have complete charge there. Mr. King's company is composed of 12 persons all of whom are real artists in their lines. Mr. King says that it is always his desire to give the public clean, wholesome, entertaining amusement and that he will bend every effort toward making his shows all that they should be. Mr. King while of southern birth, has lived most of his life in the north and west. He has put 22 years in the show business, was in charge of Richard and Pringle's minstrels for a number of years, played all during last summer at the Lyric theater, Kansas City, Mo., and is the only colored man to play the Sullivan Considine circuit. His show is here for an indefinite period.

Negro Segregation a Destructive Policy
The news from Washington that the effort to segregate the colored and white clerks in the Federal Departments is checked, if not ended, must cause to rejoice every one who believes in fair play and square deal. Particularly to supporters of the Woodrow Wilson Administration, like myself, is the news welcome, for this attempt to draw caste lines in the very heart of the Government of the greatest of democracies founded upon the principle that all are born free and equal, constituted a grave blot upon Mr. Wilson's record besides laying him open to the charge of preaching a "New Freedom," but practicing a "New Slavery" for those upon whom Divine Providence, in its wisdom, has bestowed dark skins.
But if we can rejoice over this reversal of a bad Federal policy, to our shame be it said that segregation goes on apace elsewhere. Nine Southern cities have voted to establish the Ghetto on American soil—though Augusta, to its credit, has just voted down this cruel and un-American proposition. It is a policy dictated by the most selfish of considerations, for it would make the progress of a race in an urban community depend upon land values. For once the commonest excuse for holding the Negro down—the false cry of race purity and of social equality—is put aside in favor of the new proposition that the Negroes must be confined to a given quarter lest by going elsewhere they depreciate the property of whites. Thus it is laid down that if a colored man would rise and secure for his children better light, better air, a better home in less crowded and sanitary quarters, he is thereby committing a social crime; that we must prevent his carrying out an ambition which we applaud in every other American, be he Jew or Gentile, Armenian or Russian or Pole or German, or pure American. We reprobate it in the Negro as if more contact with him were leprous. We can all sympathize with those whose property suffers in value by reason of color prejudice, but the whole history of our cities tells of the ruination of aristocratic quarters by the influx of trade, or of masses of immigrants; sudden changes in value are what every one faces who buys urban property. Losing money ought surely never to be an excuse for putting extra burdens on a race already heavily disadvantaged.
Even in country districts the talk is now of segregations. In North Carolina there is a serious movement on foot to restrict certain communities to blacks and some whites. Both are to be denied the fundamental American right to go where one please and to live where one please unmolested as to one's life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Here there is no question of injury to land values; the Negroes are good farmers, but are objected to because they are not comfortable as neighbors and in some cases dangerous as well. It is characteristic of the lack of statesmenship of the average Southern politician that no effort is made to grapple with such a problem in a statesmanlike way. No remedies are proposed beyond setting apart the races—the creation of Russian pales within which no one of the excluded color may move.
There is no effort to suppress the lawlessness that may exist by an efficient State constabulary like that of Pennsylvania; no effort to enlist the best element among the Negroes to better conditions; no effort to improve and uplift the blacks and make them better neighbors; not even a plan to give them good schools. (In North Carolina the average school term is only 93 7-10 days a year, and the teachers receive on an average only $25.26 a month, and yet there are plenty of North Carolinians who say that the Negro is over-educated!) The only solution is a Negro preserve with barb-wire fences and sentries at all the gates at which crops are to be passed out and merchandise in. The mere proposal would be laughable if it were not so tragic—just as tragic for the white man, who sees only the destructive solution and not the constructive one, as it is for

Hospital Improvement Fund Growing
TOTAL AMOUNT RAISED
NOW $99.50
Many Improvements to Building Needed—Charity Ball Adds $48.00 to Fund—Those Who Recently Helped Cause
Charity Hospital is making a strenuous effort to raise money for the "Improvement Fund" and up to date the amount received by the hospital is $99.50.
The Charity Ball which was given at the Masonic temple last month swelled the fund considerable, as $48.00. were added from this source.
the Negro who without a voice in his government, without the right to select even a school trustee, or to say how one dollar of his taxes shall be expended, wonders what his next burden is to be and prays that the white man's God may not finally take away from him the right to toil in peace and to rear his little children.
For me it is hard to be patient with this thing called race prejudice because it is never constructive and always destructive; because, since it aims its venom at people who bear the heaviest handicap I know of, its servants are ever unfair and unmanly. In school, it is considered beneath contempt to strike a boy smaller than yourself or one who cannot fight on equal terms. In adult life we have nothing but scorn and contempt for the man who would strike a child, a cripple, or a woman. But a child racel! There is nothing you cannot do to it and win applause from the mob. The weaker it is the harder you can hit it. Strip it of its every right so that you have tied its hands behind its back and it is as helpless as the most delicate woman, and that is just the time to hit it again. You may strike below the belt if, you please. Why not? If the "nigger" fights back there is an easy remedy—lynch the brute, or burn him as at Coatesville. Who cares what Jesus would say? Do you?

CAMPAIGN FOR BUILDING FUND TO BE STARTED
Three Additional Lots Purchased in East Savannah—Hope to Erect $5000 Structure—Meeting Wednesday Night
Within the past month those who are behind the movement to establish a modern Olk Folk's Home have bought and paid for three additional lots in East Savannah, where it is hoped there will be erected shortly a substantial building for the use of the deepold persons of the race who have no one to look out for them
The recent securing of these three lots gives the association behind the movements six lots East Savannah which are situated in a very advantageous spot and on which the $5000 building, which it is proposed will be erected, will command an excellent position.
The money to erect this building is to be raised by free will offerings and contributions from the public and anyone wishing to assist the movement may send their donation to Mr. Robert E. Scott, 222 Park Avenue, east.
A meeting of the association will be held Wednesday night at 8 o'clock at the Congregational church and it is hoped that all those interested in the matter will be out.
Colored Photographer in Town
During the week a Negro photographer, Mr. J. W. Johnston of Dettoit, Mich., arrived in the city and will in the course of the next few weeks probably open a first class studio here. Mr. Johnston has had considerable experience in photography and will undoubtedly find considerable work here. He has already, done some work for several individuals and many of the Negro business houses. Mr. Johnston's decision to settle here will beyond a doubt be greatly appreciated by the local Negroes.
More Wonderful Than "She"

A copious synopsis of preceding cahpters will put you right up to the opening of the next installment. The most thrilling part of the story has just been reached.
Teach the College Boys to Observe Sunday
On account of the cries of the newsboys on Sunday morning, an ordinance was passed by the city council prohibiting the crying of wares before eight o'clock in the morning. Along this line efforts have been made to induce the boys to stop their sales after a certain hour. The moral effect of these boys being on the streets on this holy day is bad.
Now, it is left to some of the students of the Georgia State Industrial College to violate this holy day by coming to the city and going even to the doors of the churches to sell a newspaper. Some of these boys are even on the streets late in the afternoon endeavoring to dispose of their copies. It is indeed a shame and quite a reflection on any institution and its faculty for permitting its students to desecrate the Sabbath day, especially so an institution of higher learning. The boys should be taught to respect the moral laws and the keeping of the Sabbath day holy.
Mrs. W. J. White, Jr., Dead.
By Silas X. Floyd
The announcement of the death of Mrs. Mabel Forbes White, the wife of Mr. W. J. White Jr., managing editor and business manager of the Georgia Baptist, will bring sadness to the hearts of thousands and thousands relatives, friends and acquaintances throughout Georgia, the south, and the country
She entered into rest on Tuesday morning, Jan. 6th at 9:30 o'clock; after an illness of some nine weeks. For six weeks of this time, she was an inmate of Burrus Sanitarium, where she received the skillful attention of Dr. G.S. Burrus Dr.G.N. Stoney, Dr.C.W. Cran. (white) and others and the best nursing.
Young Mrs. White was born in Charleston S. C. about 33 years, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Forbes. She removed to Augusta in early childhood and grew to young womanhood in this city. Soon after finishing her course as a trained nurse at the Lamar Hospital in this city, she was married a little less than thirteen years ago to Mr. William Jefferson White, Jr., the youngest son of the late founder and editor of the Georgian Baptist. To this union two children were born, only one of whom survives—little Josephine Elizabeth White, who is now about 11 years old.
The funeral services were held from the Union Baptist church in this city on Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. A number of years ago the deceased was baptized into this church during the pastorate of Rev. David Simpson Klugh. Following is the program which was carried out: "Lead kindly light" sung while entering the church: First hymn, lined by Dr. C. T. Walker, "Saviour, thy dying love thou gavest me." Prayer by Dr. C. T. Walker; Solo "Face to face." Mrs. Cora R. Porter; Reading of the scriptures by Rev. J. M. Nabrit, D. D. Quartet, "Crossing the bar" Haines school; Sermon by Rev. Thomas H. Dwelle. Solo, "Heaven is not far away" by Miss Octavia Campbelle. Remarks by Rev. Silas X. Floyd, D. D. Last hymn lined by Rev. J. M. Nabrit, "It is well with my soul."
The pallbearers consisting of those members of the bridal party at the marriage 13 years years ago who now reside in Augusta and personal friends of the family were: Messrs R. G. Martin, Jr., M. J. Newton, W. H. Wilborn, W. J. Walker, Prof. P. H. Craig, Prof. L. E. White. A large concourse of sorrowing friends witnessed the exercise. A gorgeous display of floral tributes of various designs bespoke the love and sympathy of scores and scores of fireads.
To the husband, to the little daughter, to Mrs. Caroline Forbes Battle, the only surviving sister and to the other members of the family the heartfelt sympathy of a great host is hereby extended.
The ways of God are past our understanding. We do not know—we can not know—but our heavenly Father knows. He sees—He knows—He understands. We murmer not—we complain not—He knows. We cannot understand, but we can trust and we

Rev. Reid Resigns Second Church
Rev. Reid Resigns Second Church
WILL PROBABLY GO TO ALABAMA.
During Pastorate Here He Has Done Much for the Community in General—Renovated Church through out and added 500 Members to Enrollment
On the first Sunday in this month Rev. D Augustine Reid presented to the Second African Baptist church his resignation from the pastorate of that body, the resignation to take effect three months from date according to the Baptist polity.
Rev. Reid, since he took up the work at the Second church in November 1910, has been of much service not only to his church but the community in general. He has been one of the leaders in the religious thought of the city, and has entered energetically into many general movements for the betterment of the Negro, notably the Old Folks' Home, the securing of a new public school for Negroes, the Urban League Christmas fund and boosting the Negro business enterprises.
Upon coming to this city he found the affairs of the Second church in an almost chaotic condition, and the task-of raising the church to its former position among the religious institutions of the city was one which even an unusually energetic pastor would have feared to attempt.
But Rev. Reid entered into his work full of life and modern ideas and how well he has succeeded may be known from the following accomplishments within the thirty eight months he has been here: Renovations to the church at cost of $5000.00 consisting of new flooring throughout the structure, metal ceiling, new roof, new carpets both in auditorium and lecture room, changed position of choir loft, concrete side-walks all around church and minor improvements.
Besides this he has added 500 new members to the chuach roll, regained many of the old members and inaugurated up-to-date methods in every department of the church. A mortgage of $4000 on the church has been wiped out with the exception of $800 which will in all likelihood be raised by the first Sunday in next month. Rev. Reid is regarded by the community as a man of much force, an excellent talker, an untiring worker and a man whose life is above board.
Rev. Reid has been extended calls one each from Massachusetts, Alabama and a professorship in one of the Baptist colleges. It is stated that he will probably accept the call from Alabama.
The speaker at the afternoon meeting Sunday Jan. 18th will be Mr. E. W. Sherman of this city. These meetings last only one hour—4 to 5 p. m and the hearty singing of the men is a feature. Mr. Sherman will make an interesting talk and a cordial invitation is extended to all the men of the city to come and hear him.

MISFORTUNE.
Disappointment and misfortune
are not always evils. Disappoint-
ment will make us conversant with
the noble part of our nature. It
will chasten us and prepare us to
meet accident on higher ground the
next time. As Hannibal taught
the Romans the art of war, so is all
misfortune only a stepping stone to
fortune —H. D. Thoreau.
Curious Cradles.
“The Lapland babe's cradle,” sala a
man who has traveled, “Is its mother’s
shoe—its mother’s snowshge. This
snowshoe 1s covered with skin and
stuffed with soft moss. When so dis-
posed the Lupland mother can bang
her baby to a tree by the thongs.
“The Indian baby wears a noée ring
anda veil, and its cradie is a basket
swung from its mother’s head.
“But the strangest cradie of all is
the New Guinea baby's The mothers
of New Guinea bury their bables in
the soft white desert saud up to the
waist. This keeps them out of mis-
chfef. It 1s the only cradle they ever
know.”
, Humer From ths Hospital.
Perhaps the best story in Sir Ed-
Ward Cook’s “Life of Morence Night-
Ingale” fs that of a wounded Crimean
sergeant who picked up 2 wounded
comrade and ;stumbled back to camp.
The rescued man turned out to be a
general and walted on bis rescuer In
hospital. ‘The latter, wrote Miss Night-
ingale, exclaimed: “Ob, general, it's
you, is ft, { brought in? I'm so glad J
didn’t know It wus your honor, but if
Yd known it was you I'd have saved
you all the sume!”
Not as Gad as It Might Have Been.
“Now that your boys have gone away

It ts dificult to find the genesis of
the funny story. You know the one
of the lady who objected to the man
smoking in the railway carriage, She
plucked away his cizar and flung it out
of the window. The man picked up
her pet dog and burled it after his
cigar because both dogs and cigars
were Illegal there. In a week end
reading I have just found that story
in Dostoevski’s “The Idiot.” told by a
Russian who had fought in the Cri-
mea, He was convicted of having stolen
it from a newspaper. The story prob-
ably originated with Noah in the over-
crowded ark. And it is good to think
our ancestors laughed as heartily as
we do.—London Opinion,
An‘Unpleasant Encounter.
“I was told young Staylate had quite
an encounter with Maude Brown's
fatber?*
“Yes, he did. He met the old mar
tacking home from the club just as be
was leaving the house and in trying to
ayoid one another they both fell down
the terrace and broke a seven dollar
garden vase. And now the old man
says he was assaulted by two burly
ruffians, and Staylate doesn’t dare to
go near the honse for fear he'll be
recognized as both of them.”—Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

Idleness 18 Death.
Most men cannot be idle and live.
‘That sounds strange. It is true. It ts
a law of nature. If a man past forty
leads an {dle life the probability 1s
that he will live to be fifty-seven years
old. If he leads a harmonious and
sufficiently occupied life he will live to
be sixty-six. This 1s the experience of
life insurance companies, which make
a specialty of old age annuities.
‘The figures tell the story. Idleness
is harder on the vital organs of man-
kind than work. To be idle is to die—

Surprises For the Librarian
“No man gets a better insight into

Tian, and a friend of mine, custodian
of a library In a poor South London
district, can cite many instances of a
taste for the higher things of literature
in unexpected places,” saysa writer [a
an English publication. “Among his
regular borrowers are a policeman
who specializes on, sociology, a lava-
tory attendant who borrows little else
but work’ on education and psychol-
ogy, 2 commissionaité with a taste for
abstruse theology and two mg and
bone shopkeepers,,one of whom stud-
fes only theosophy and Buddbism, the

COTTON FOR NORTHERN ‘CALI«
FOARNIA.
A good many important discoveries
of one kind and another have been in
a large measure accidental. In the
way of illustrating the trath of this
may be mentioned the attempt which
will be made the coming season on a
considerable scale to grow cotton in
northern California. Less than 2 year
age the Southern Pacific employee who
has charge of the pumping station at
Roseville, Cal, 107 miles from San
Francisco, got a handful of ‘seed from
a carload of cotton that was side-
tracked at the point mentioned en
Toute north from the Imperial valley.
He sowed the seed In a garden spot
near the station and was surprised to
note how thriftily it grew. The bolls
Popped open, and tho branches of the
Plant bent’under the weight of theripe
cotton. Neighboring ranchers and oth-
ers heard of bis success in growing the
cotton and have «ontracted for seed,
with the idea of extending the experi-
ment. This Js likely to prove an inter-
esting phase of the development of the
cotton growing industry of the Golden
State, whose output of cotton, chiefly
from the Imperial valley, has inereased
from 100 bales in 1909 to 100,000 bales
the past season.
SOME INTERESTING COMPARI-
SONS.
‘That largest crop yields do not al-
ways net the grower the most moncy
is shown very emphatically in a com-
parison of some of the staple crops of
1912 and 1913. -In the case of the corn
crop the total yield for 1913 is :2 per
cent below that of the year previous,
yet the growers wilt receive 6 per cent
more for it, and this amounts to $109,-
000,000. In the case (mpotatoes, the
past season’s crop is al®%t.20 per cent
below what it way in 1912, yet It will
net the growers $40,000,000 more than
did the preceding year’s crop. Ootton
furnishes an even more striking in-
stance of the truth mentioned. Al-
though the yield of the past years
crop is put at nearly a million bales
less than that of 1912, a decrease of 5
per cent, the growers will receive for it.
at 14 cents per pound, 22 per cent moro
than they did for the 1912 crop. This
amounts to a cash Increase of $125,-
000,000. ‘
CIDER SIRUP. !
An experiment is belng made at
Hood River, Ore., this winter that will
be watched with much interest by ap-
ple growers everywhere who have the
cull apple problem on their hands. In
the experiment in question the sweet
cider as it is extracted from the ap-
ples is evaporated until the residue is
of about the consistency of thin sirup.
This is canned and 1s sald to keep for:
an indefinite time. On being diluted
with water it is said to be in every ro-
spect equal to the original cider from
which the sirup was secured. This.
matter of keeping cider sweet without
preservatives has been a knotty prob-
lem—in fact, it hasn't been solved—and,
4f the method referred to proves as sat-
isfactory ag, the claims made for It ap
ple growers of the country will have
grounds for feeling elated. _ :
ORCHARD CARE PAYS.
‘That patostaking care ip the epray-
ing and thinning of froit“4nd in the
selection and packing of it at harvest
‘will pay in the New England states as
well as out in Washington and Oregon
1s shown in the record of prizes won
by a Mr. Sawyer of Salisbury. N. HL,
during two successive years on an ex-
hibit of a single barrel of Baldwin
apples. In trophies and cash these
two barrels of apples have netted their
owner $363. The froit shown was
from trees twenty-five years old that
were set out by the owner when he
was a lad in high school. ” About tho
only observation that need pow be
made concerning these prize winning
apples is that the orchard that pro-
duced ther was_not run as an Inciden-
tal, side Issue, calf pasture proposition.
SKIMMILK FOR POULTRY. -
A contributor to an agricultural pa-
per tells of an experiment be made
in the feeding of skimmilk to poultry
that proves its value in a very dofinite
way. He divided sixty pullets inte
two even lots. One lot was fed skim.
milk as a part of ‘the ration, and the
other was given water. The test be-
gan Nov. 1 and closed May 1, In this
period of six months the Sock that
had been given skimmilk produced
$52.65 worth of eggs at a cost for
feed of $19.97. The flock that had
beei given water produced $30.94
worth of eggs, while thelr feed bilt
was $23.72. Buttermilk is nearly as
good as skimmilk and elther should
be fed to the hens wherever it can ba
heal. .

CATTLE ABORTION. .
A report recently Issued by the bu-
reau of animal industry’ of the fed-
eral department of agriculture calls
attention to the serious nature of ¢on-
tagious abortion In cattle, a malady
that ranks next to tuberenloals in the
inroads it makes in the cattle raising
industry. The cause of the discase has
Deen discovered, and it has been
found that the yvirus can be intro-
duced into the body of a cow in sev-
eral ways. When a cow becomes in-
fected with the disease her milk be
comes polsonons to her offspring. A
farther interesting discovery in con-
nection with the disease iy that germs
may be given off for years in tho/milk
of cows that no longer abort.

Saturday, January 17. 1914.
The year nineteen hundred and fourteen, fraught with so many mysteries and possibilities, has been a part of us now for a little over two weeks. As it is our wont from time almost immemorial, we have entered with the New Year with new determination and new resolves to do and dare far better in the future than in the past. Our fleeting but searching glances into our past, have revealed to us our short comings, our failures and our successes. We have done well here and there; we have failed in other places. Fully conscious of both our successes and failures of the past, we have entered the new year fully resolved to have the former preponderate the latter. As we look microscopically into the future and scan its horizon, we see great need for cooperation and constructive work among us. While it is true that we as a people made great progress during our fifty years of freedom, at the same time it is equally true that we have not lived up to our opportunities as they have been presented to us. This has been largely due, no doubt, to the fact that many of us have not awakened ourselves to a satisfactory consciousness of racial obligation which is and ought to be a part of each of us. The time is indeed at hand when there is need of the service and co-operation of every well meaning, well-thinking, race loving Negro in behalf of his people, if we are to hope to have and to hold our own in the fierce com
petitive struggle for existence which must, of necessity, be a part of the year nineteen hundred and fourteen. As has been said before, there are indeed many possibilities which the year nineteen hundred and fourteen hold out to us. Will we grasp the opportunities presented to us during the year and make the most use out of them, ought to be a burning question within the breast of each one of us. There is indeed much to be done by us and much can be done by us. Let us, therefore, in our new year resolutions, see to it that there will be a determined effort on the part of each and every one of us to do his full share toward the moral, financial and physical uplift of the race with which we are identified.

That every dark cloud has its silvery lining" is indeed typified in the present day activities of Oswald Garrison Villard. editor of the New York Evening Post, in behalf of our people and against discrimination, segregation and other unjust practices against us now so much in vogue in nearly every section of our country. As a champion of equal rights for the Negro, regardless as to his race, color or previous condition of servitude, Mr. Garrison is demonstrating the fact in a way unmistakable, that he is bone of the bone and flesh of the flesh of the great and freedom loving ancestry from which he hails. Not only has he attacked the dispensers of race hatred and discrimination as they are found in low places, but in high places as well. Even President Wilson has not escaped the fury of his wrath and indignation over the manifest sanction of the national administration of the segregation policy now in vogue in many of the governmental departments at the national capital. On the other hand, the inconsistency of the positions of President Wilson established through his preachments contained in his new book entitled "The New Freedom" and his present attitude of "hands off" anent the Negro problem, so wrapped up in his administration, has been held out in such bold relief by this fearless champion of equal rights to all that even the president himself has been made "to sit up and take notice" of matters hitherto lightly regarded by him. There can hardly be any doubt in the minds of any one that the grand and fearless effort now being put forth by Mr. Villard and
those who believe with him in regard to the proper treatment of our people will be for naught. On the contrary, the blows which they are now giving anti-Negro legislation wherever found, is already beginning to have a telling effect. New and courageous friends are beginning to make themselves known to the race in nearly every part of the country. This is especially true in our own southland where the influence of Christian education and training as well as the presence of wise an conservative leadership is beginning to make itself felt as never before. Despite the hovering clouds which threaten us apparently on every hand, we believe that a new day in the history of the Negro is beginning to dawn upon us. We believe also that work of such men as Oswald Garrison is hastening the birth of this new day. As a race and as individuals, we ought to both recognize and appreciate the work of Oswald Garrison Villard and others who have the courage of their conviction to stand up and plead for justice to the Negro as it is meted to the white man. We ought to doff our caps to Oswald Garrison Villard and his fellow heroes of peace. May their good work go on uninterrupted until itstend is accomplished viz., the placing in the hands of the Negro a real guarantee of his unalienable rights, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in all of their various aspects.
We have it upon good authority, though not officially, that The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools is to hold its annual meeting in our city next summer. We are informed that they have decided to come at the instance and upon the invitation of a single individual. This is unusual; they do not usually act so ill-advisedly. Now the Association of Colored Teachers has in its membership some of the most enignee characters of the race; among them we count some of our best friends and, generally, for the Association, its work and its members we have the highest regard. But we believe the association can hardly realize that it is coming to this city upon the personal invitation of a single man; the rank and file of its members are certainly not aware that the great army of teachers in this city and county do not know of their proposed coming; they can scarcely believe that the publication of this rumor will bring the first news of this secret. Moreover, the association will acknowledge that, though Savannah folk are hospitable, they are entitled to be apprised that they may expect guests to entertain. Are we too hasty or unduly excited? It may be the teachers of the city are not expected to entertain the National Association—it is barely possible that it has been figured that they are not necessary to the success of the meeting. If this this is true, then there is no issue, for we do not pretend to say that there can be no meeting without their support. We do say, however, that it is hardly probable that the National Association would be willing to come to our city if they knew (1) they had not been regularly invited and (2) the teachers of the city had no knowledge or part in extending the invitation. They would be warranted in assuming that both their work and entertainment would be far from satisfactory under such circumstances and they would not have agreed to come. Now, the source of all strife in organized effort among our people may be traced to irregularity of official conduct and leadership, i.e. the disposition of some individuals to ignore and transgress the rights of others; the exaltation and exploitation of the ego at the expence of the general good; in a word, "the big fish devouring the little ones." Now we are not prepared to say what stand the teachers will take in this matter, and we do not wish to influence them. Our comment is made upon the ground of public policy and expediency. We think also that in justice to the association, (which no doubt is very probably in ignorance of the irregularity of their invitation,) the matter should be definitely and clearly set before the public at an early date. We think, as a general proposition, that the local body of teachers, just as much so as an individual, have the common and ordinary right to say whom, where and when they will entertain. We think, also, that they will be abnormal creatures if they quietly acquience in such an ignoring and usurpation of private rights and privileges, and such a reflection upon their good sense.
St. Benedict's Church Announcement
Everybody is cordially invited to attend and patronize the grand fair to be held at St. Benedict's Church, East Broad and Gaston streets, from the ninth to twentieth of February.
The scope of the work undertaken by the institution in question is a broad one and should appeal to all who have the welfare of the Colored race at heart.
An average of two hundred children, eighty per cent. of whom are non-catholic, attend our St. Benedict's school where they are given an up-to-date education on the strictest moral lines. Petitions for admission have frequently been refused for want of accommodation.
The Orphans' Home, of whose advantages Colored girls of all denominations participate alike, is another feature of our work here.
From the results of the fair we hope to be able to enlarge and ameliorate the present buildings to meet crying needs, thus widening our sphere of influence in the interests of our Colored brethren.
We, therefore, hopefully look for a helping hand or, at least, the friendly interest of those who have pledged devotion to a good cause, the betterment and uplifting of the Colored race in America.
St. Philip Dots

A good share of the cork used

tons a year. .
Those few weeks of warm, foggy

householders the satisfaction of put-

Timothy hay ts not rated by dairy-

An uxusual feature of the recent in-
ternational live stock show was the
winning of grand champion honors in
the Shorthorn class by Ringmaster, a
oix-year-old animal that has won the
zeme honors at two preceding live

A friend who has tried it has found
that his hogs do not do so well when
fed on the swill from restaurants as
when given a ration of buttermilk.and
corn, and this notwithstanding the fact
that the scraps from these eating places
contain a good deal of nourishing food.
Deciduous trees are normally consid-
ered dormant during the month of De-
cember, but a freak condition of the
present winter is shown In the sap run-

yond what they ought to be.
A country lass made a snug sum of

If your roosters begin crowing too

for a rooster can’t crow unless he can

The farmers in Grant county, Wis.,
have inaugurated 2 plan for the co-
operative grinding of limestone that
might well be followed in other sec-
tions of the country where‘ lime ts
needed for the sweetening of sour
soils. The work is belng done under
the direction of the State Agricul-
tural college. A sinall portable outfit,
consisting of engine and ‘crusher, is
being used, which cam be readily trans-
ported from one neighborhood to an-

beneath the surface soil make the un-
dertaking a relatively simple one.
It ts not generally known that, when
properly cooked, the sugar beet makes
a palatable article of food for the ta-
ble. It contains from 15 to 17 per
cent of sugar, while the common red
garden bect contains but from 10 to 12
per cent of sugar. Some one who has
tried them suggests the following
methods for cooking: Wash the beets,
but do not remove the! skin, leaving
a portion of the top on so as to retain
the juices. Cook in boiling. water un-
til tender; then peel and quarter or
cut into slices, Bfake a suce of melt-
ed butter, pepper and salt, pour over

An a certain county in Kansas they
have been improving some of the
main roads, and a farmer who uses
one of these improved highways in
hauling his produce to market has
figured out that he saves enough In
one day’s hauling to pay his share of
the increased road tax. Before the
road was improved he used to haul
one load of fifty bushels of grain a
day. Since the road has been im-
proved he has been able to haul two
Toads of seventy-five bushéls each.
This would seem to be a simple yet
foreeful object lesson, showing the
value of better country highways.
It is safe to assume that potato
growers of the country Will very gen-
erally support the action of the fed-
eral horticultural board in placing an
embargo on potatoes from Canada and

be small advantage coming to the con-
sumer if, to relieve somewhat the
high prices for potatoes prevailing for
the present winter. diseased forelgn

8OME FOOD VALUES.
One exhibit at the national Gairy
show held some weeks ago in Chicago
was both unique and, Interesting. It
was arrapxed by the Milk Producers’
Association of Northern Ilinots and
consisted of an exhibit of a dozen dif-
ferent kinds of foods, including’ milk,
eggs, beef, fish, nuts and several kinds
of frults and vegetables, the amount
of each article shown being that
‘which was required to furnish the
amount of nutriment contained in one
quart of milk, the cost of the several
articles being based upon current re-
‘tall prices. ‘Tbe exbibit,was illumi-
‘nating and instructive and doubtless
had suggestions for those heads of
families who ure a bit perplexed with
the high cost of living problem. The
cost of the twelve articles shown ts
given in the following decima! frac-
tons of a dollar: Milk...08; eggs, 29:
beef, .148: codfish, .141; cornmeal,
.009; potutuen. 026; cabbage. .10: or-
anges. .226. :ipples. .092: bananas, .10;
prunes, .061: nuts, .163. From these
figures it will be seen at a glance that
far and away the cheapest food artt-
cle of the lst is cornmeal, which
costs but one-third as much as pota-
toes, while the latter food costs but
one-third, as much as milk. Milk, on
thé other ‘hand, at 8 cents a quart,
costs Jess than a third as much as
eggs at 35 cents per dozen Cabbage
and bananas” ¢ost the same, prunes
about two-thirds as much as these
while meat and fish cost about the
same and nuts a trifle more. Ege:
were the most expensive food shown,
and oranges rank next to them.
A SERIOUS PEST.
For a good many years the onion
was considered practically pest free.
but within recent years what is
known as the onion gmut*has spread
to many sections of the country, at
{ts worst being so serious a handicap
as to render the culture of the vese-
table unprofitable. A serious feature
of: this pest is that the spores of the
fungus are not eradicated from the
soll by crop rotations covering a period
of five years. ‘The disease is spread
by the fools with which an infected
field 1s worked more than by the seed:
Large gtowers in some sections have
found effective a solution made by di-
luting 40 per cent formalin in thirty
gallons of water and applying with a
drip attachment on a seed drill at the
rate of from 500 to 700 gallons of the
solution per acre.

Within the past three or four weeks
new ers laying contests to run a year
have been started at both Storrs col-
lege, Connecticut, and at Mountain
Grove, Mo. The remarkable interest
that has been aroused among poultry
raisers everywhere in these contests 13
shown in the fact that In the contest
which is being conducted in Missour!
there are entefed elx pens of layers
from New Zealand, three trom Austra
Na, two from Canada, three from’Eng-
land, one each from Germany and
‘South. Africa, two from Vancouver
and sixty-six pens from the United
States. The world's record for ess
production is held by a pen of six
Australian birds that averaged 264.8
eggs each during a year,
PIG PROGRESS.
With a view to increasing the inter-
est of Oregon farmers in growing hogs,
the ,Portland Union stock yards has
agreed to furnish a young pig to ev-
ery school in the state that will take
care of one. ‘he gift 1s made on the
condition that some pupil in each
school shall keep an accurate record of
what the pig eats and how it ts cared
for. The company further agrees to
buy the pig back when it fs ready to
market and pay full price for It. An
Oregon paper, in speaking of the plan,
remarks that In ten years it will not
be’ surprising if every country school
In the state is not only supplied with
pigs, but with a flock of poultry and
one or more dairy cows. The idea
would seem to be a capital one.
BREAK UP THE SUBSOIL.
‘walle theoretically a farmer gets -
erything in the air above his lan .«
in the earth beneath, he seldom actual-
ly uses more than six inches of the
surface soil. The productive period of
many a farm3could be extended were
deeper plowing to be resorted to on
such farms and upon those where the
soil 1s plowed more shallow still. Deep
plowing would not only break up and
mellow the subsoil and thus make
available its fertility, but would in-
crease the capacity of tho soll to re-
tain moisture during a protracted dry
spell. Many a farmer appreciates the
facts stated and by deep plowing has
increased his farm value by a half
without adding to the number of his
acres.
CARE OF THE LAWNS.
‘We usually think of care of the Jawn
as extending over the period between
the first and last, cuttings of the sea-
son. The average lawn, where the
grass is clipped and removed, needs
care besides this that fs all too seldom
given. This consists In giving it at in-
tervals of not more than two or three
years a generous top dressing of well
rotted manure. This should be applied
after the ground is frozen solid and
should be allowed to remain until
spring, when the conrsest of it may be
raked off. The fertilizing elements will
have leached into the soll, and the finer
Particles of manure will have settled
down into the roots of the grass.

Mark xii, 31—Commentary by Rev. D.
M. Stearns.
‘The record of the good Samaritan is
found only here, but the question with
which the lesson opens, “What shall
I do to inberit eternal life?’ ts found
also in chapter xvill. 18, and the parallel
passages in Matt. six, 16; Mark x. 17.
Both in this tesson and in the story of
the rich young ruler our Lord directed
them to the Inw. for there can be ne
Ufe eternal without the conviction uf
sin. He came not to call the righteous.
‘those who think they are righteous,
but sinners to repentance (Matt. Ix, 13).
The only Saviour revealed In Scrip-
ture is a Saviour for sinners. one who
came to save lost people. There have
been, and always are, those who £0
about to establish thelr own righteous-
ness, being ignorant of the righteous-
ness of God-(Rom, x, 8). That which is
necessary to enter the kingdom Is the
‘perfect righteousness of a perfect law.
as explained by our Lord in what is
ated the Sermon on the Mount. No
mere man ever had of bimself such a
| righteousness: the Lord Jesus Christ
alone fulfilled every jot and tittle of
the law (Matt. y, 18), and when any
one pleads guilty and comes to Him
and receive) Him, they bave in Him
}an ‘absoliitely perfect righteousness
which God has accepted.
‘That the law cannot save, but only
convinces of sin. See Rom. ill,'19, 20:
Gal. iii, 21, 22 ‘That Christ bare our
sins and is madeunto us rizhteousness.

est thou?” (verse 26) are two questions

‘The lawyer was cornered, as we say,
and would fain justify himself, like
those in Luke xvi, 15. It !s more flat-
tering to self to be praised rather than
condemned. It is the manner of men
to seek praise one of another, to desire
the good opinion of men rather than
the approval of God. but the word of
God never flatters any mere man, It
always condemns bim and points him
to the only perfect man. Christ Jesus.
The lawyers question, “Who is my
neighbor?" Is answered by our Lord's
story of the good Samaritan, who 1s

The Lord Jesus came where we

our stead. Our condition is described
in Isa. 1, 6, as having no soundness,
but wounds, braises and putrefying
sores, which have not been closed and
bound up nor, mollified with ointment.
We havo tecently noticed the com-
passion of Christ upon the shepherd-
less multitudes (Matt. ix, 26), and it Is
often mentioned. He puts us in His
place. He took ours that we might
take His, and by faith in Him we are
made accepted in the Beloved and
stand complete in: Him (Eph. 1, 6, 7:
Col. tf, 10). Having redeemed us, He

RIGHTS AND DUTIES.
Thou hast too much to say about thy rights and thinkest too little about thy duties. Thou hast but one inalienable right, and that is the sublime one of doing thy duty at all times, under all circumstances and in all places.—Frederic R. Marvin.
A Sculptor's First Job.
The story of Naoum Aronson's first commission reads like a romance, says a writer in World's Work concerning the Russian sculptor. He had gone short of food and worked incessantly in his scanty leisure so that he might send a bust to the salon, and it had been accepted. One morning, from want of proper nourishment turned giddy on the stairs. 'The flight and knocked him less, and there he was so scous by his first patron, who had noticed his work and called to commission that moment Aronson back.
Good Advice.
Never forget the advice of T. toocles. Said that ancient, "I would stow my daughter upon a man without money, but not upon money without a man." Just change money for title and see the different reading: "I would bestow my daughter upon a man without title, but not upon title without a man."—New York Press.
Modern Schooling.
"Husband, you will have to go out in the woods this afternoon and catch a mud turtle."
"The idea! Why should I catch a mud turtle?"
"The teacher says Willie must have one for his natural history tomorrow. Don't you want to help the child with his lessons?"—Washington Herald.
Mending Without Sewing.
Mending Without Sewing.
Here is a simple and efficacious way of mending a tear, three cornered or otherwise, in an article of clothing: Place the cloth flat on a table and amaze a little white of a raw egg all around and over the tear on the reverse side. Now cut a piece of linen (a handkerchief will do) a little larger than the tear and place it over the rent so that it adheres to the white of egg. Then get a hot iron and simply press it, without ironing, over the linen. The linen will adhere firmly to the cloth and will not come off even if washed. The rent in the material will now be almost invisible on the outside, and the mending will last as long as the dress or suit—London Answers.
Gossip In the Club.
Only one thing is fatal to the happy social life of any country community, and that is gossip. If the women in their clubs cannot find in the wide field of housekeeping, chicken raisling, preserving, care of children, public schools, music, art, reading, public improvements, good government, health, sewing, entertaining and all other delightful household tasks enough material to lift the meetings above petty personalities, then the little club or whatever it is called is doomed. Whenever gossip is allowed to creep into any organization people will begin to break up into little cliques or circles or groups, and the whole thing fails.-Hilda Richmond in Farm and Fireside.
Tides of the Mind.
Shakespeare tells us that there is a tide in the affairs of men. Certainly there is a tide in the minds of men. He must be very unobservant of himself who does not know that the mind rises and falls, that it swells into fulness and strength and then fades into emptiness and weakness, we know not how, we know not why. Formerly the tides of the sea were also a great mystery. Slowly did observation disclose that they were under the influence of the moon and, still later, of the sun. So with the tides of the mind. We are taught now that they are caused and governed by our faith and by our love. -Theophilus Parsons.
Bonehead Stick.
A grewsome walking stick was that used by the late Moberley Bell, so long manager of the London Times. It was a plain, stout stick, mounted with a bone from his own body. When a correspondent in Alexandria he was crossing a railway line and caught the heel of his foot between the points. A train was approaching, and by a desperate effort he wrenched himself free. But he so injured his ankle that an operation was necessary, and one of the joint bones had to be removed. This he had mounted as the handle of the walking stick which he used to counteract the limp his accident left him. London Tatler.
LOOK TO THE FUTURE
Never mind the past except to profit by its mistakes. The past is in many things the foe of mankind; the future is in all things our friend. For the past has no hope; the future is both hope and fruition. The past is the textbook of tyrants, the future the Bible of the free. Those who are safely governed by the past stand, like Lot's wife, crystallized in the act of looking backward and forever incapable of looking forward.—Marryat.

FAME IS A SHUTTLECOCK. A man whose business it is to be talked of is much helped by being attacked. Fame, sir, is a shuttlecock; if it be struck only at one end of the room it will soon fall to the ground; to keep it up it must be struck at both ends.—Johnson.
He Was Mistaken.
Mr. and Mrs. Flatty were having quite a brisk little quarrel.
"You have no regard for my feelings," asserted Mr. Flatty. "You treat me worse than you do your dog!"
"How can you say such a thing?" demanded Mrs. Flatty. "I do nothing of the kind. I never make the slightest difference between you!" — Chronicle Plain Dealer.
A Cruel Insinuation.
Stern Old Lady - They tell me, madam, your husband is continually smoking dreadfully-

Truthfulness.

Easily Explained.
"I wonder what is the matter with me?" he said. "I have a feeling of depression and I can't throw it off, no matter how I try."
"I know what is the matter," his wife replied. "You have an engagement with the dentist at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, you know."—Boston Transcript.
A Doubtful Answer.
"Would you love me just as much if I were a poor girl?" "Every bit as much," he said, congratulating himself that the dear girl didn't ask him if he would still want to marry her—Detroit Free Press.
