Three Girls' Clubs Organized.
URBAN LEGUE DOING EXCELLENT WORX
Many Girls Being Taught to Sew by Ladies in Charge of Circles—Committee on Boy's Clubs Closed Successful Baseball Season.
The committee on the girls clubs of the local branch of the Urban League has been doing some very effective work here or late and now have in operation three clubs in as many sections of city.
The supervisor of the clubs is Miss C. Emma Lewis, and each member of the committee is working hard to make the accomplishments of the clubs effective. The clubs so far organized are known as Nos. 1, 2 and 3. The clubs, or better circles, meet once a week, circle No. 1 under Miss Bessie Foster meeting every Monday in a church in Frogtown; No.2, under Miss M. Shivery meeting on Friday in the annex of the Bryan Baptist church, and No. 3, under Miss M. A. Cques, meeting at the Presbyterian church. The three circles have respectively 20, 50 and 18 members.
The first work of the circles has been very gratifying to the ladies who are giving their time and attention to the girls and the indications are that the atten-

Miss Daisy B. Ramzy and Mr. Geo. Green were united in marriage on Thursday night of last week. The wedding took place at Central Baptist Church. Rev. J. S. Irby, officiated. dance of the circle will increase as the character of the work becomes more generally known. Many of the girls have shown much aptitude for the work and are making much progress. The circles have been organized in those sections of the city where the work is most needed and it is the hope of the committee that more circles will be organized in the near future.
The committee on boys' clubs, of which Prof. J. G. Lemon is chairman, has also done some excellent work and through its efforts the Negro boys of the city were given their first regularly organized baseball league. The youngsters had a very enjoyable time and the league furnished much wholesome amusement for them.
SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1914
MASONIC GRAND LODGE MEETS.
CONVENED IN AMERICUS, GA., LAST WEEK
Craft in a very florishing condition—But twenty-five present Who. Don't. Own .Homes—Grand Master Butler Presided.
All trains leading to Americus on Monday and Tuesday of last week, were crowded with representatives to attend the Forty-Fourth Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge, Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons, for the State of Georgia.
The communication was held in the spacious auditorium of the Widows and Orphans' Home and began promptly at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning. When Most Worshipful Grand Master H. R. Butler sounded the gavel there was a sea of enthusiastic faces, and every one entered heartily into the opening ceremony. The devotional part was conducted by the Grand Chaplain, Worshipful Brother L. A. Townsley, D. D., who was assisted by Worshipful Brother C. Max. Manning, D. D.
The committee on credentials reported a larger number of lodges represented than ever, with an increased number of Past Masters. All of the Grand Lodge officers were present. With the reading of the minutes and the announcing of the various committees, the preliminaries were soon over and the Grand Lodge ready for business.
Before making his address, the Grand Master opened a Masonic "class" or "covenant" meeting, at which time the brethren gave their experiences of the year's work, noting progress along every line of endeavor. They entered this part of the meeting with zest and much inspiration was gained. As usual the Grand Master asked how many owned their own homes. Of the more than three hundred present nearly every hand went up. There were several who are buying their homes, and less than twenty-five owned no homes at all. The latter were urged to return home and get something. This shows the force behind Masonry. The members represent the best in every community. Grand Master Butler, for the past number of years never fails to impress upon them the importance of home ownership, living clean lives, being model citizens, law abiding, etc.
The large number of lodges owning their own lodge rooms were also noted. After these interesting events. the Grand Lodge was called to refreshment until in the afternoon. At the appointed time the Grand Lodge was opened for the purpose of holding the dedicatory services. This was opened to the public and the auditorium was packed.
The Masonic dedicatory service is interesting and inspiring. It was proven more so on this occasion than ever before. Preceding the dedication, a well arranged program was carried out, participated in by several members of the Grand Lodge. The singing on this occasion was indeed inspiring. The dedicatory sermon was preached by the Grand Chaplain, Rev. L. A. Townsley, D. D. It was a great effort, able and spirited. The commendation of all who heard it was extended the speaker. After the sermon the dedicatory service was carried out, the Grand Lodge officers taking active parts. At its termination, Mrs. Viola E. Hart. Royal Grand Matron of the Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, was called on and gave interesting remarks and presented the Grand Lodge with about $600 collected from the ladies of the Eastern Star for the Orphan Home. This was heartily accepted by the brethren. Mrs. Butler, wife of the Grand Master, was called on and elicited many an amen from those present. Mrs. Butler is an elocutionist of great ability and on this occasion greatly impressed the brethren.
After the services the Grand Lodge was called off until Wednesday morning. At night the local lodges prepared a reception for the representatives. A number of ladies

LEADING CHILDREN IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
LEADING CHILDREN IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
FIRST FOUR IN EACH CLASS GIVEN
Attendance of Schools Largest in History of System. New School Will give Accommodation to Many More Pupils.
For the first time in the history of the Negro public schools of the city, The Tribune is giving this year the first four pupils in each grade of the system.
The information will most likely prove of much interest to those interested in the schools and at the same time be an encouragement to the pupils to make the best of their time in school as the names of the first four will be published after each examination during the year.
The enrollment of the schools this year has been the largest yet, the East Broad having 857, West Broad 850, Maple $ ^{9} $ 550. and the Cuyler 260 a total of 2517.
The new Cuyler street school which opens in October will afford accommodations for about 1000 pupils and this will add greatly to the total enrollment of Negro schools.
The following are the first four pupils in each grade, with yearly averages.

PEKIN THEATER PLAYING TO LARGE CROWDS
New Ice Cream Garden of House Soon Completed.
Regardless of the fact that for the past two weeks the city has been complaining of the most unprecedented warm nights, yet patrons of the Pekin theater find no discomfort in visiting this popular playhouse, so well ventilated is it. In fact many of the weekly patrons are bold in their expressions concerning the comfort that is to be found here during the hot summer nights. In view of the fine ventilation of the house the attendance has of late been remarkably large while other places of indoor amusement have been complaining of small patronage. The shows for the past month have been much enjoyed and manager Stiles is very much pleased with the appreciation the public is showing in his efforts to give the local public a good clean show. The ice cream garden which will be conducted by the theater in the spacious arcade in the front of the house is about half way completed and when finished will be an added attraction for the large crowds that so often have to wait for the second show. On Thursday Friday and Saturday nights of the coming week special three and six reel pictures will be shown.
Negro Retains Heavy Weight Championship.
JACK JOHNSON GETS DECISION OVER MORAN
Champion Comes Through Fight Without a Mark, While White Man's Face Bears Evidence of the Fight—Johnson Receives $35,000.00 for Fight.
Jack Johnson the Negro who won the championship of the world four years' ago from Jeffries at Reno, Nev., by defeating Frank Moran on points in their twenty round bout in Paris last Saturday night, retains his title and wins a purse of $35,000.00. The loser receives $5,000. Each receives a share of the profits of the moving pictures of the battle.
Johnson earned Referee Carpentier's decision rather easily. He bore no signs of punishment at the end, while Moran's face was badly bruised and cut.
The champion fought cautiously throughout. He was the master at all stages, having Moran in straits at times. In the final rounds Moran held on frequently, and in the last spectators jeered him for this.
The referee warned both men for clinching, Johnson's offenses being committed early in the contest.
The crowd entirely filled the Velodrome d'Hiver, in which the fight was held, and there were more than 30,000 persons present, including several hundred women.

APPEARANCES
Do not allow yourself to be misled by appearances. Epictetus says: "Appearances to the mind are of four kinds—things either what they appear to be, or they neither are nor appear to be, or they are and do not appear to be, or they are not and yet appear to be. Rightly to aim in all these cases is the wise man's task."
Dancing on Talcum Powder.
It has been found by experiment that the best dancing floor is made as follows: Upon the ordinary floor a sheet of rubber half an inch thick is spread; a certain smooth surfaced linoleum is laid over this, and talcum powder is sprinkled upon it, every day. The highly polished waxed wood floors of a few years ago are too slippery for the modern dances. The shoemakers soon learned this and introduced pumps with pads of rubber inserted in the soles.—New York World.
A Shipwreck.
Muggins, gazing intently at a dead dog, in a resigned tone at last said:
"Here is another shipwreck."
"Shipwreck! Where?" blurted out Juggins.
"Where, my dear friend?" quoted M.
"There is a bark lost forever."
Juggins growled and passed on—London Fun.

CRAPE AFTERNOON GOWN.
Very wide girdles of materials matching the gown are seen on some imported models. Illustrated here is a gown of figured crape in sweet pen shades of pink and lavender. The wide girdle is edged with a ruching of pink taffetta ribbon, an embellishment which is seen also on the short sloped tunic and on the turned back cuffs. The vest and collar are of white organdie.
CAMPING OUTFITS.
What Is Needed For the Use of the Outdoor Girl.
With summer the careful mother begins to think of camps for her growing girls. Where to send them is no more a matter of weight than how to outfit them inexpensively but comfortably. One sporting goods house has just opened a department for girls wherein everything from cap to sneaker may be obtained.
The first item, if the girl is to go to a regular camp, is, of course, bloomers. They range from black, navy blue or tan drill to those of black or navy blue serge, finished in the best manner.
Middy blouses to wear with them come in white without trimming, except for the blue or red collar and cuffs. There are stars on the collar, cuffs and pocket. The collar is a sailor or one, cut open at the neck, and the sleeves are three-quarter ones. For the smaller girl there are two piece suits of one material. They come in good quality drill, in tan, with a navy blue or red sailor collar and trimming or in solid navy blue without trimming. For girls up to twelve years only the same suit comes in smaller sizes.
One piece swimming suits come in cotton serge in black or navy blue, in poplin in black or brown or in galatea in black or navy blue. They have the bloomers and blouse attached under a belt, but are made loose enough to allow free use of the limbs.
White canvas sneakers, high cut, with rubber soles, are about $2 a pair. They are not the only sneaker or outing shoe carried, however. The shop is stocked with every conceivable camping accessory, from woolen outing stockings to angora tam-o-shanters.
Black and White Wicker:
There is something quite attractive in the black and white wicker furniture. The pieces are so woven that the alternate colors are formed into broad bands or squares to decorate the chairs, tables, couches, etc. The creators of the black and white wicker also make the unusual pieces of furniture that give harmony to plaza and porch furnishings. These include the pretty wicker trays with folding legs (similar to those imported from Japan) and the porch pole vases and various flower holders. Of course these can be had in new designs in smoked bamboo, but the latter would not harmonize well with the black and white wicker.
The Vogue of Braid.
Colored braid is a popular trimming for suits. Usually braid of the color of the suit is used, but sometimes braid in dark blue or black or green is used. Braid sashes are one of the notes for the season. They are generally formed of two strips of braid stitched together lengthwise to form a girdle or sash five or six inches long. They are made of braid woven in various combinations of deep red, dark blue and green and black.
Coloring Matting.
To dye matting, thoroughly clean it and then apply the dye with a broad, flat paint brush. A ten cent package of dye makes a gallon of coloring. When dry the matting can be made into rugs if desired. Each piece of the matting should be thoroughly cleaned before another part is done.
"He who laughs best laughs last, you know." "Does that" include, the Englishman?"—Exchange.
Badly Named.
There is a man in a midland town whose name is Burst. It is a misfortune that would not have-attracted much attention if he had not called his two children Anna May and Ernest Will. London Mall.
The Blue Sky.
The blue sky which reveals itself as the hemispherical vault of the firmament in the absence of clouds is the far depths of the air sending back to the observer some part of the solar illumination which they receive. The light thus returned to the eye is "blue" simply because the particles of the air are of such exceedingly diminutive size that they can effectively deal with only the smallest of the luminous vibrations—that is, with the "blue" undulations. There are a few faint interminglings of the other colored rays in the blue of the sky, but they are in such trifling quantity that the blue swallows them up.
She—What did papa say when you asked him for my hand?
He—Why, he couldn't say a word.
"He couldn't?"

Freshening It.
"Don't you ever change your mind?"
"Of course," replied Miss Cayenne.
"It is very desirable to change your mind occasionally in order to call attention, to the fact that you had any in the first place."—Washington Star.
Flowers and Spices Antiseptic.
Flowers and Spices Antiseptic. The odor of cloves has been known to destroy microbes in thirty-five minutes, cinnamon will kill some species in twelve minutes, thyme in thirty-five minutes. In forty-five minutes common wild verbena is found effective, while the odor of some geranium flowers has destroyed various forms of microbes in fifty minutes. The essence of cinnamon is said to destroy the typhoid fever microbe in twelve minutes and is recorded as the most effective of all odors as an antiseptic. It is now believed that flowers which are found in Egyptian mummies were placed there more for their antiseptic properties than for merely ornamental or sentimental purposes.—London Globe.
Homemade Humor.
There is a judge in a certain eastern city noted for his grouch. The most comical incident has no more effect on his frown than upon a wooden Indian. But one day a lawyer who had tried in vain to make the judge laugh walked into court and found the jurist doubled up with mirth. The lawyer hurried to his colleagues.
"Dinner to the man responsible for that," he said. "Who told the story? Another lawyer drew a sheet of paper toward him and wrote the words, "The judge."-Baltimore American.
Making It Easy.
Wife—What's this—a new box of cigars? Didn't you just swear off smoking? Hub—Certainly! That's why I bought this box; I'd be crazy for a cigar if there wasn't one in the house. —Boston Transcript.
A Mean Man.
Tommy—Pop, a man is a bachelor until he gets married, isn't he? Tommy's Pop—Yes, my son. Tommy—And what does he call blimself afterward? Tommy's Pop—I'd hate to tell you, my son. Philadelphia Record.
Businesslike.
The Beloved One — You object to Horace because he's not businesslike. Stern Parent—Certainly; he's only after you for your money. Beloved One—Well, pa, doesn't that prove he's businesslike?
There Was a Change.
A government inspector, entering a rural postoffice, expressed surprise upon seeing a woman at the delivery window. "I was under the impression," said he, "that a man was in charge of this office."
"And so he was," replied the woman sharply, "but I married him."—Atlanta Constitution.
The "Need Not Tell You" Man.
"I need not tell you," says the philosopher of folly, "that when an orator starts with the words I need not tell you' he goes right ahead and tells you all that he naged not tell you."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Worse Off.
"The bachelor is worse off than the married man? How do you make that out?" "The married man is afraid of only one woman; the bachelor is afraid of all of them."—Houston Post.
Notes That Come Due.
Kent—Are you ever affected by the lingering notes of "My Old Kentucky Home?" Bent—No, but the lingering notes of my remodeled New England home frequently take a rise out of me. Judge.
Such Vanity.
"I have always wanted to enjoy the peace and quiet of farm life."
"Why don't you? You're rich enough to do as you please. I should think you'd buy a place in the country and spend the rest of your days in rest."
"I would, only I'm afraid my friends would think, if I gave up the gay life, that I must be getting old."—Chicago Record-Herald.
Cutting the Finger Nails. Cutting the finger nails appears to have been the most indispensable service the ancient Roman barber rendered to his patrons. Martial, chatting a top who had tried to dodge the barber by using plasters to remove his beard, asks triumphantly. "How are you going to manage about your nails?" And the miser in Plautus collects the parings of his nails from the barber to make something out of them, apparently never dreaming that he could save money by cutting them himself.
News From London About New York. A curious cause has brought Monday into fashion with the New York theater goer. Many years ago the wealthy people—who could afford to put their laundering out—became distinguished from the poorer people, who had to do their washing at home. The richer could show up at the opera on Monday evening.-London Chronicle.
Those Chilly Boston Girls.
The beautiful Boston girl was alling, and a physician had been summoned. "Doctor," said the fond mother, "is it anything serious?"
"At present," replied the wise medical man, "I am not prepared to state. We must await developments. She has a high fever. Her temperature is thirty-five!"— New York Globe.
SMALL DUTIES.
It does not matter if the greatest thing for you to do be not in itself great. The best preparation for greatness comes in doing faithfully the little things that lie nearest. The nearest is the greatest in most human lives.—David Starr Jordan.
Witch Hazel.
A fact little known is that the home of witch hazel is in Connecticut. The annual output of this article is about 25,000 barrels, of which the greater part comes from a limited district in eastern Middlesex county. The rest comes from New York, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.-Indianapolis News.
Being a Good Boxer
In a story in the American Magazine by Elmer E. Ferris one of the characters comments as follows on the advantages of learning how to box:
"The good of it lies right here. It increases a man's self confidence, and that protects him from trouble. Haven't you ever noticed among dogs that when a dog is a scrapper the other dogs leave him alone, but if he is afraid they pitch into him? Men are something like that. Another thing: Boxing increases a man's aggressive spirit, although if he is anything of a gentleman it doesn't make him quarrelsome. Then, too, it is better than any other exercise in taking the fear of physical injury out of a man."
So It Does.
An Irishman was asked how many legs a horse has. "Eight," he replied; "one at each corner and two on each side."
"Don't you think that a foolish answer?" he was asked.
The Irishman replied with wisdom when he said. "A fool question deserves a fool answer."—London Answers.
The Glove on the Pole.
A quiet custom in an English town. Honiton is "proclaiming the fair." The town obtained the grant of a fair from the lord of the manor so long ago as 1257, and the fair still retains some of the picturesque characteristics of bygone days. The town crier, dressed in picturesque uniform and carrying a pole decorated with gay flowers and surmounted by a large gilt model of a gloved hand, publicly announces the opening of the fair, as follows: "Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! The fair's begun, the glove is up. No man can be arrested till the glove is taken down." Hot coins are then thrown among the children. The pole and glove remain displayed until the end of the fair.
A Clock Case Made of Pennies
A novelty in clockmaking consists of a timepiece whose case is made of English pennies. The coins, of which there are ninety-six, all bear the date 1797 and were beaten out to almost double their original size and then riveted together, while the figures were made of small strips of copper cemented on to the face. The clock stands fourteen inches high and is eight inches broad at the base. That "time is money" is an adage with which we all more or less agree, but this is a case in which the saying might be reversed and still remain true. The clock is owned by a resident of Laurel Bank, Ilkley, Yorkshire, England.
The Goveted Hand.
The young man had gone to the hekress' father—always a ticklish job—but he took his courage with an iron grip.
"Sir," he blurted out, "I want to ask you for your daughter's hand."
The old man, not in the least disconcerted, said:
"Which hand? The one she signs checks with, I suppose."
Both Disappointed
Wife—If I'd known that you were after my money I would never have listened to you. Husband—And if I'd known you'd be so mighty close with your money I would never have proposed. Philadelphia Ledger.

There still exists in London a bylaw which forbids a cask of beer to be unloaded between certain hours, but no mention is made of casks containing any other liquor. Lucerne has on its statute book a law which is not enforced. It prohibits hats of more than eighteen inches in diameter, forbids the use of artificial flowers and imported feathers and orders that a license of seventy-five cents a year shall be paid for the right to wear ribbons or silk or gauze.
Making It Last.
A young man was lately leaving his aunt's house after a visit when, finding it was beginning to rain, he caught up an umbrella that was snugly placed in a corner and was proceeding to open it when the old lady, who for the first time observed his movements, sprang toward him, exclaiming: "No, no; that you never shall! I've had that umbrella twenty-three years, and it has never been wet yet, and I am sure it shan't be wetted now!"—London Express.
To Make Shaving Easier.
To shave easily and save the blades of safety razors, leave a pleasant feel on the face and make all razors take less stropping, adopt the following plan:
Lather the face well and wash off the lather. That gets rid of all dust. Then with a small brush work into the skin a little vaselline, and without removing this relather the face well, and then shave. The first day or two the plan does not seem so successful, but after that the advantages are very marked—London Field.
The Real Thing.
Mrs. Knicker-Is your husband hard to get along with? Mrs. Bocker—Very.
If I give him a poor dinner he wants a divorce and I give him a good din-obbying—New York
- "There were seven of the twoke," said one of the discharged jurors in speaking of the matter next morning, "who didn't want to sleep themselves and wouldn't let the rest of us sleep. Whenever we dropped in a doze they came around and shook us till we were wide awake again."
"And you had to submit, I suppose, for they constituted the majority?"
"Yes. They were a rousing majority," said the hollow eyed juror, with a pensive attempt to be faceless—Chicago Tribune.
Mexican Hats.
A hat such as is worn by Mexicans may cost anywhere from 5 cents to $500. The better ones weigh from six to eight pounds and carry many dollars' worth of silver and gold trimming.

The Tavistock, the bachelors' hotel is Covent Garden, is probably the only place in London where a man must drink his "dish" of tea after the fashion of a century and more ago.

The Tavistock dishes are of uniform pattern-white china with a broad blue band.-Pall Mall Gazette.

This is the season for secret order conventions. During last week the Masons of the state met in their annual convocation at Americus, Ga., where in the usual quiet and unostentatious way, much legislation of a constructive nature was effected for the good of the order. It is indeed gratifying to note from the reports that this great order continues to grow both in strength and influence. In a few more days, another of the state's successful fraternal order is, the Knights of Pythias, will be in annual session at Valdosta. We have no doubt that the coming session of the Knights will result in much good for the order. There is connected with this order some of the most intelligent and influential men of the state. They are successful business and professional men and day laborers. We have no doubt that when they meet in convention assembled, beginning July 13th next, that their sagacity and good sense will carry the order much further forward on its way to prosperity and success. Meeting as they do in South East Georgia, the order will have opportunity to get a first taste of South Eastern hospitality, as served by the citizens of Valdosta. Knowing as we do what Valdosta's hospitality means, we have no hesitancy in saying that there will be many who, once having tasted the hospitality of Valdosta, will want to vote to her the annual meeting place for all future grand lodge meetings. We anticipate nothing save pleasure and profit to the attendants to the coming Grand Lodge Session of Knights of Pythias in Valdosta. May much success come to the order through their meeting in Valdosta.
It is indeed both amusing and tragic, too, to note the dilemma in which the President of the United States now finds himself anent federal jobs now held by Negro appointees of previous administrations. Apparently desirous of giving due recognition to the demands of the demagogue and Negro-hating element of the party, the President seems to have reached the consciousness at last, that pre-election promises should not be thrown to the wind with impunity. According to recent dispatches, it is reported that the President has given Senators Smith, Vardeman and others who have called upon him and demanded the complete elimination of Negroes from all appointive offices in the government, that as per promise, Negroes will succeed Negroes in offices which they have always held. As to how the President can carry out this announced program of his and at the same time retain the support of the Negro-hating members of Congress, remains to be seen. As we see it, President Wilson has nothing to lose in taking a courageous and manly stand for the right. Our people have as much right to his protection and safeguarding as any other people on the American soil. They are citizens of the United States and, in a measure, constructive ones too. Then why should the door of opportunity be closed to them? The high appointive offices held by our people have been well merited. They have been faithfully and efficiently kept. It is a known fact that in many instances federal offices held by our people have the highest rating for efficiency on record. Then why should the president be made to swerve from his path of duty in giving continued recognition to Negro manhood and efficiency, just to satisfy the ambition of a notoriety seeking minority to gain public recognition at the expense of our people. President Wilson is evidently up against a difficult proposition. A struggle between sentiment and duty must inevitably possess him. As to which of these will be triumphant, remains to be seen.
While we do not exactly approve of some of the escapades Jack Johnson has figured in yet we admire his physical prowess and are pleased with the result of his recent fight in Paris, when he defeated another "white hope" and retained the heavy weight pugilistic championship for the Negro race. The fight of last Saturday has had at least one savory feature, which every one must note, and that is that the black champion could hardly have been guilty of the friotous life which so many accounts for the past two years have accused him of and be in the excellent condition his last fight showed. Perhaps the many riotous escapades and the fast life which the champion has been accused of living have been more the result of prejudiced minds and a hope that these things were true. We realize the fact that it does not require much experience for one to learn that a Negro with means, such as Johnson possesses is often accused of fast living by many of the opposite race, when as a matter of fact he is only living in proportion to his means and enjoying those pleasures of life which money brings. Certainly his physical condition disproves these reports and shows that he has far from waisted his vitality in wines, late hours and the like. Perhaps if his skin were of a different hue his mode of living would receive the stamp of approval from many of the writers who have sent broad cast to the world reports of his fast living and run down condition and he would simply have been spoken of as enjoying in a mild manner the fruits of his victories.
A Spoiled Contest
The News-Leader, a white afternoon paper published in Richmond, recently offered a prize of ten dollars for the best argument against woman suffrage. Six hundred and twenty-five answers were received and the contest editor selected the winner who received the following complimentary letter from the News-Leader---
"Herewith the News-Leader wishes to hand you a check for Ten Dollars ($10.) for your very excellent answer submitted in the contest, it having been declared the best received. We congratulate you on your winning the first prize, and hope that when other contests are arranged we will see one or more answers from you.
"The Contest Editor would like to publish a photograph of you. Will you be kind enough to oblige us by sending the picture, which will be returned to you after an etching is made of it? "Yours very truly.
Mrs. Goode sent her photograph, as requested, but it was not published, for the reason that Mrs. Goode is a colored woman, a fact that was unknown to the News-Leader when it awarded her the prize. The inferior (?) and irrepressible colored person very often obtrudes upon some competitive enterprise only to carry off the honors to the utter embarrassment and humiliation of the infallible and altogether superior (?) white person.—Journal and Guide.
Masons Grand Lodge Meeting
Continued from page One) were present and an enjoyable time was spent.
Immediately after the opening on Wednesday morning, the Grand Master delivered his address. It was replete with good things and touched on every phase of Masonic life. These addresses of Grand Master Butler are always out of the ordinary and contain salient points that are mainly beneficial.
The report of the Grand Secretary was given in detail and showed the enormous amount of work done. He reported a larger collection than ever before The report of the Grand Treasurer corroborated that of the Grand Secretary and further showed the expenses and balance on hand. The amount on hand is the largest on record.
The Secretary-Treasurer of the Masonic Relief Association, was listened to with rapt attention. The report shows this department to be in a healthy condition. The collections for the year, the amount brought forward and balance on hand with each item of expense were given. No relief department of any organization is better carried on than ours. And none of them can boast of a more efficient, conscientious, faithful, able officer, than our own W. C.
Thomas. The brethren have implicit trust in him
The Secretary of the Orphans Home reported a record breaking collection. This department is on better basis than ever.
The Trustees of the. Orphans Home gave a glaring report and showed, that the Home is in a healthy condition. The orphans are well cared for and schooled. The building has been renovated from top to bottom. New furniture were purchased, the bed clothing immaculate and everything about the building neat and up to-date with a matron that any institution could be well proud of. Miss Battle has had charge for about a year and has inaugurated a wholesome atmosphere around the Home and is highly regarded by everybody and much beloved by the orphans.
The brethren were so well pleased with the executive officers and the excellent work done by them, that they unanimously re-elected them to their respective positions. Only two changes were made, that of the Wardens. Worthy brothers were selected as Grand Wardees. All of the reports of the respective Committees were replete with useful information and presented in a manner that caused the rapt attention of the brethren. No grand body has a finer set of trained workers than this one, and for this reason every report is prepared and rendered properly, and meet with but few reversals on the floor of the Grand Lodge.
Adorning the walls of the Grand Lodge are the life size busts of former Grand Masters who have passed from "labor to refreshment." They are Past Grand Masters, J-M. Simms, John H. Deveaux, A.K. Desverney, Alexander Harris and W.E. Terry.
The brethren of the lodges in Americus tried to redeem themselves by showing more hospitality to the representatives and to prove that they appreciate the annual gathering in their city. Possibly next year the Grand Lodge will be held elsewhere. Attention has already been directed to the semi-centennial of the Grand Lodge. This may be held in Savannah, and plans will be laid to make it an eventful gathering. The following Grand Lodge officers were installed by Past Master, L. H. Burdell: M. W., H. R. Butler, M. D., Grand Master.
W., J. A. Grant, Grand Lecturer.
W.. A. R. Stalling, Grand Senior Deacon.

W.. J. R. Thornton, Grand Junior Steward.
W.. R. W. Collins, Grand Marshal.
W.. Dan'l Harris, Grand Sword Bearer.
W., Simon Whitehead, Grand Pursuivant
W., William Hardy, Grand Tyler.
The following standing committees were appointed:
Jurisprudence—C. A. Clark, L.
A. Townsley, D. D., T. H. Slater,
M. D., L. H. Burdeil, J. H. Babcock, C. L. Davis.
Finance and Returns—W. H. Spencer, H. H. Williams, G. R. Hutto, S. A. Peters, M. D., G. N. Stoney, M. D.

Foreign Correspondence—W. C. Thomas, Sol. C. Johnson, S. S. Mincey, S. M. Scarlett.
The members of this Grand Lodge have created a very favorable impression on the citizens of Americus, and they are loud in their praises of them. This much is especially noted through the columns of the Times-Recorder. Grand Master Butler handles his craft with signal ability. The brethren have deep regard for him. All through the session harmony prevailed and the best of decorum
was manifested. This grand communication will go down in history as the best ever held.
May 30th the following officers of the Georgia Society were elected for a term of six months; Thos. W. Turner, president: Sarah E. Tucker, vice-president; Annie E. Green, secretary; Georgianna Robinson, treasurer. A special committee on entertainment was appointed which made arrangements for a whist carnival to be held on June 30th at the residence of Thos. W. Turner, 128 W. 136th street, where they have decided to have a plenty of mulatto rice and such other products as are produced by the "Cotton State." A gala time is predicted and the public are invited—Amsterdam News.

In Memoriam
In loving memory of our beloved husband, father, and brother,
MR. NELSON N. HARRIS
who departed this life, July, 8, 1913
Without you, dear husband, father and brother,
In this world of sorrow and care,
Fill our hearts with such sadness,
Without Jesus, we could not bear.
'Tis sad oh! so sad without you,
But 'twas God who knew best,
That called you, to live in that Haven of rest.
No more on this earth you'll be with us,
To cheer us along our way,
So we are trusting and living for Jesus
That in Heaven no more we shall part.
From your loving wife, daughter and sister,
Mrs. Martha Harris,
Mrs. Mary B. Hunter,
Mrs. Georgia H. Drayton.

I can positively cure your corns and and other feet trouble. It is very important that you have your feet treated if you are suffering with the above complaint. It has been proven by the best medical men that many diseases that afflict other parts of the body is caused from neglected feet. The skin is one of the three principal channels by which the body casts off impurities. It is estimated that in every square inch of the souls there are 2,685 sweat glands and these serve to aid Nature in throwing out of the system the filth, the carbonic acid and disease which have found their way into the blood and lymph channel I treat rheumatism, my foot draft sweat the poison through the soles of the feet I have a fine preparation for sore tired feet, price 25 cents a bottle.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
Lesson I.—Third. Quarter, For July 5, 1914.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Matt. xx, 1-16.
Memory Verses, 6, 7—Golden Text,
Matt. v, 45—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
This lesson is found only in the gospel by Matthew and follows immediately his saying concerning the Son of Man in the throne of His glory and the apostles upon twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel, closing with the words about the first being last and the last first. Our lesson today closed with the same words, with the addition of "for many may be called, but few chosen" (Matt. xix, 27-30; xx, 16). The same words about few and many are found in Matt. xx, 14.
It is sadly true that, while many hear the glad news, but few comparatively really receive the good news, and it is also true that of those who become Christians but few are willing to be disciples because of selfishness and worldliness and because they do not know the power of His resurrection and kingdom and glory.
The present age of the mystery of the kingdom is the time in which the redeemed of the Lord are called to be "fellow workers unto the kingdom of God," "laborers together with God," "workers together with xlm" (Col. iv. 11; I Cor. ill. 9; II Cor. vl. 1). The reference to the vineyard in this lesson and in chap. xxi takes us back to Isa. v. 1-7; Is. xxx, and other Old Testament passages, but for us the most helpful reference is that of the vine and the branches and the fruit to the glory of God in John xv.
In a recent lesson our Lord spoke of recompense at the resurrection of the just, and we know from Rev. xxll, 12, and 1 Pet. v, 4, and elsewhere that the time of reward for service will be at the second coming of Christ, when every one shall receive his own reward according to his own labor, but there is a recompense in all service even here, a fortable of better things to come. Perhaps the "penny a day" suggest present reward in this life. There should be no idlers among believers, for the record says "to every man his week" (Mark xxll: 34).
In reference to the material for the building of the tabernacle Mr. Moody used to say that the poorest child could bring a, few goat's hairs (Ex. xxv. 1-8). When the wall of Jerusalem was built by Nehemiah, among the builders were priests, Levites, rulers, merchants, apothecaries, goldsmiths and even women (Neh. ill. 8, 12, 17, 22, 32). They seemed poorly qualified for such service, but they had a mind to work, and, though they were despised and mocked, they prayed and kept at it and finished it, and their enemies had to acknowledge that the work was wrought of God (Neh. iv. 4, 6, 9).
In all service for Christ it must be God working in us, both to will and to do, the vine bearing fruit through the branches, for He said, "Without me ye can do nothing" (Phill. II, 13; John xv, 5). The laborers of today's lesson, at least the first batch, seem to be time servers who agreed to work for so much. To the others He said, "Whatsoever is right I will give you (verses 2.4.7). When His love constrains we will not think of reward for service either here or hereafter. Ruth was not thinking of recompense when she came to Naomi and said, "Entreat me not to leave thee or to return from following after thee" (Ruth I, 16:15).
It was devotion to David that led Hielt to cling to him with similar words (II Sam. xv, 21). The same thing is seen in Eilisha's repeated reflections to leave Elijah II Kings II, 2, 4, 6. Such an attitude is the only one for true service. Simon Peter thought that he had it when he said, "Lord, I will lay down my life for Thy sake" (John xiii, 37), but he did not know himself. Paul really had it when he said, "I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus" (Acts xx, 13. See also Acts xx, 24; Rom. 1, 14-16; I Cor. lx, 22; xx, 33).
With so many millions on earth who have never yet heard the gospel, who know nothing whatever of the love of God, the gift of His Son, eternal redemption provided in Him, a kingdom to be shared by the whosoeveres who will accept Him, how can any one be said to truly rejoice in the Lord or be any kind of a disciple who is not consumed with a desire to serve such a Saviour and make known His salvation without ever a thought of recompense here or hereafter? I have heard of heathen in China haggling about how much they would get for saving a man who was drowning before their eyes before they would attempt to save him, but what shall be said of Christians who want to know what their reward shall be for telling others of the redemption which they themselves have freely received, or what shall be said of those who think more of their own church or denomination than of gathering the church, His body, from all the world that He may come again, set up His kingdom and see of the travail of His soul in a world subjected unto Him and filled with righteousness and peace? For "He must reign till He hath put all enemies under His feet," but He will not begin His reign till He shall receive His bride at the resurrection of the just (I Cor. xv, 23-25). Serving the living and true God means doing that which He appointed us, not working up or working out some scheme of our own

Strength of Eggshells.
Most people are aware of the power of eggshells to resist external pressure on the ends, but not many would credit the results of tests recently made, which appear to be genuine. Eight ordinary hen's eggs were submitted to pressure applied externally all over the surface of the shell, and the breaking pressure varied between 400 pounds and 675 pounds per square inch. With the stresses applied internally to twelve eggs these gave way at pressures varying between 32 pounds and 65 pounds per square inch. The pressure required to crush the egg varied between 40 pounds and 75 pounds. The average thickness of the shells was 13-1000 inch.—London Globe.
His Brand of English:
At the Union ironworks, San Francisco, a steamer was undergoing repairs. The chief engineer—a Scot, of course—requiring a hammer in a hurried moment, turned to a German mechanic and in his momentary excitement, lapsing into his native speech, said, "Gie us yer pelty, mon." "Vat?" asked the Teuton in surprise.
"Yer pelty—pelty!"
"It's yer hammer he wants," interrupted another Scot, who was also working on the job.
"Thank the Lord there's one mon among ye wha understands the king's English!" growled the chief engineer as he took the "pelty."—Argonaut
Nothing Unusual
Several years ago a tourist fell over a rock from a height of about 300 feet, near Europa Point, Gibraltar. He was killed, of course. The lieutenant in charge of the guardroom, however, inserted in his guard report for the day that "nothing unusual had occurred."
For this he was "carpeted" before the town mayor, who asked for an explanation.
"Well, sir," replied the young officer, a Scotsman. "if the pulr mannie had na' been kilt it would have been a very extraordinary fact, but as the pulr body was kilt-why, sir, I thought it was na' extraordinary or unusual."
The rile was accepted.
Small patches of quack grass may be pretty effectually exterminated by spading them up to the depth of eight or nine inches and carefully shaking the roots free from dirt and hanging them on the fence. When dry they should be burned.
The cranberry marshes in the state of Wisconsin are said to produce as high as $1,400 worth of fruit per acre in a single season. Under clean cultural methods the yield of the berries has been increased in a good many cases nearly 100 per cent.
Heating stoves may be kept from rusting during their periods of nonuse by coating them inside and out with any good graphite stove blacking, which should not be polished. The nickel plated portions should be polished and coated with vaselline.
One of New York city's largest milk retailing firms has 8,000,000 bottles in service, and of this number about 6,000,000 are lost or broken annually. It would seem as if there were a lot of folks whose milk bill might be cut down materially if they would take better care of their bottles.
There are said to be nearly half as many dogs in the United States as there are inhabitants. This seems to be a pretty strong statement, judging from the number of dogs in the localities in which most of us live. However, if there are 20,000,000 dogs in the country there are about 19,000,000 too many.
There are at the present time about 2,000 consolidated rural schools in the United States, Ohio, Indiana and Massachusetts having made the greatest progress in this much needed reform. A fact of interest that has been noted in this connection is that about one third of the roads in these states have been improved.
There may be some retailers of milk who do not realize that there is a federal law against putting any chemical into milk to keep it sweet, and as many more in a good many states do not seem to appreciate the fact that most state laws require that milk sold at retail shall contain not less than 3 per cent of butter fat.
The director of the Colorado experiment station is authority for the statement that if cut while young Canada thistles may be used quite successfully for silage. This observation should not be construed by the unwary as justification for letting these pests get a foothold on the farm in order to have stuff with which to fill the silo.
There is no need of any farmer buying commercial fertilizer if the soil and climatic conditions make possible the growing of alfalfa, red or sweet clover. The statement made does not hold in case land has been robbed for generations, for in such cases the application of commercial fertilizers with manures and the growing of legumes are necessary.
While but 1 per cent of the American people are said to be college or university bred, it is interesting to note the figures prepared by one college investigator, which show that twenty-nine of the fifty-one governors of states and territories have come from this 1 per cent; also sixty-one of ninety-three United States senators, 272 out of 305 congressmen and nine of the nine justices of the supreme court.
Dr. Crumbine, secretary of the Kansas board of health, gives the following recipe for a homemade fly poison that will not be injurious to children in the home if they should get hold of it: Beat together the yolk of one egg, one-third cupful of sweet milk, one level teaspoonful of sugar and a level teaspoonful of black pepper. Put mixture on a plate and place where flies abound.
According to the opinion of a good many, the laying out of the front yard does not as often as it should give proper recognition of the value from the artistic point of view of a stretch of unbroken blue grass. It is better to reduce the beds in the lawn space to a minimum, arranging them for the most part as border features. This is just as well for the flowers, simplifies the care of the lawn and sets off the beauty of the carpet of grass in a becoming manner.
The German plan of setting out fruit trees along the highways is to be tried in Missouri. What is known as the Blue Book route, extending from the Missouri river at Kansas City to the Mississippi river at Louisiana. Mo., is to be planted to peach trees and will be hereafter known as the Elberta route, as it is to be lined with trees of that variety. A law is to be passed which will insure the protection of the trees, while the fruit produced by them will become a part of the road fund for the upkeep of the highway.
A reader of this department living in Washington writes for the government bulletin giving in detail the experiments which have been conducted in the line of raising beans in semilard sections instead of allowing the soil to lie idle under summer fallow. The bulletin in question is Farmers' Bulletin No. 561 and may be had by directing a request to the department of agriculture; Washington. The fact that our correspondent has written as he has for this bulletin seems to justify the statement that any bulletin or bulletins on a given subject may be had without expense by sending a request for them to the department at Washington, as stated.

Codling moths, which are the parents of the apple worms, are responsible for a damage to fruit growing interests annually that is placed at $3,000,000.
A patch of rape a few yards square, if it gets a good start before the hens are turned on to it, will furnish them a fine supply of green food all through the summer and fall.
A Nebraska farmer who has observed the habits of meadow larks suggests that floats should be put in the farm water tanks to keep these and other birds from drowning when they come to drink.
A writer in the Prairie Farmer reports catching thirty-six rats in four days in a compartment trap baited with canned salmon. He uses a small quantity at the entrance of the trap and two or three times as much in the dining room. After being caught the rats are drowned in a tub of water.
A can four or five inches in diameter makes a convenient nesting place for the wrens. The opening should be about the size of half a dollar, just large enough to admit the wrens, but small enough to keep out the sparrows. Wrens, though small, are very active and among the most valuable of our insect destroyers.
The lice that attack different kinds of vegetables and fruit trees can be effectively kept in check by occasional spraying with a solution of tobacco extract. This may be given alone or with other sprays applied for other purposes. The sooner it is applied after the lice make their appearance the more effective will the results be.
Probably the best record that was ever made by a grade cow was that of a Holstein grade belonging to a Danish farmer living near Cedar Falls, Ia. During the month of April this cow gave 2.274 pounds of milk, from which were made 1.223 pounds of butter. If a better month's record than this has ever been made the writer does not know of it.
One farmer's wife has found a way of simplifying her work by raising chickens every other year and putting up fruit and other stuff the alternate seasons when she does not raise chickens. This arrangement gives her more time to attend to both, and she contends that the returns from her flock of hens are more than if she raised half as many chickens yearly.
Gophers are not only a nuisance because they pile up mounds of earth to vex the hired man at haying time, but also because in their underground tunneling they cut off and devour the roots of alfalfa and other plants. The pests may be trapped, but the most effective method is putting grain that has been soaked in a sweetened solution of strychnia sulphate in their runways. One taste of this doped corn does the business.
The state veterinary department of Iowa is seeking to secure the co-operation of the federal authorities and the railroads in a campaign which will bring about the general cleaning and disinfecting of the stock cars in which hogs are shipped to market. There would seem to be little question, as investigators contend, that the litter from germ laden cars scattered along the railroad right of way is a frequent cause of a spread of the disease.
The Florists' Exchange is authority for the statement that a group of women who live in Central City, Ky., are this year conducting a plant exchange for amateur gardeners. All varieties of pot plants are exchanged, also shrubs, seeds, slips and bulbs. Any one having more plants, etc., of a kind than he wishes is invited to bring them to the exchange and secure something that he does not have. A committee of ladies puts a value on the stuff brought in and that which is taken in exchange.
That small children would do well to give geese a wide berth is plainly shown in the tragic fate that befell Frank Cloumleck, a ten-year-old lad, the son of a goose farmer, who lives at Wind Point, a short distance north of Racine, Wis. In driving the fowls from the lake shore just before feeding time he struck the boss gander with a stick, with the result that the bird, with his mates, turned upon the boy. Five minutes after the boy was rescued by his father he died, both of his eyes having been pecked out.
BUTTERMAKING SUGESTIONS.
The Washington experiment station has intely published some condensed hints on farm buttermaking which are good for farmers everywhere. If followed there would be great improvement in the quality of American dairy butter. The suggestions as given below should be used for reference:
Cool the cream from the separator as soon as possible to 55 degrees F. or lower.
Never mix warm cream with cool cream.
Mix all the cream to be churned in one vat or can at least eighteen hours before churning.
Ripen at a temperature of 70 to 75 degrees F. for from six to eight hours, stirring frequently during this period.
Cool cream to churning temperature as soon as ripe.
Let the cream stand eight hours or more (overnight) at the churning temperature.
The temperature of churning ought to be such as to make the butter come in from thirty-five to forty minutes, usually 55 to 60 degrees F.
If it is desired to use artificial coloring it should be added to the cream just before churning.
Stop churning when the granules are about the size of peas; varying to the size of wheat, and draw off the buttermilk.
Wash the butter once with pure water at the churning temperature, agitating three or four times, and then drain.
Wash a second time with water about 4 degrees above churning temperature, agitating seven or eight times, and drain.
Add the salt wet while the butter is in granular form, using about one to one and one-half ounces for each pound of butter, according to the demands of the market.
Work the butter just enough to distribute the salt evenly. If the butter is to go on the market it should be put up in neat, attractive packages.
A SHEEP AND WOOL CONFERENCE.
On June 2, 3 and 4 there was held in Washington a conference of those interested in the sheep and wool industry. Among many important topics discussed were the manufacturing value of American wools, the improvement of farm and ranch methods of handling wool, the possible adaptation of foreign methods to American conditions, the standardization of the wool clip and the prevention of losses by dogs and other predatory animals. As a rule, American wools are of high quality, but the indiscriminate sacking of wool, the use of poor twine and of insoluble paint in marking sheep are jointly responsible for a loss to producers estimated at from 5 to 20 per cent of the total clip.
RABBITS DESTRUCTIVE.
From the standpoint of the writer it seems like a good deal of a fiasco for rabbits to be protected by law, as they are in a number of central and eastern states, when they do a very large amount of damage to farmers and gardeners. Even though they may pull up some corn and eat some newly planted seed, there is ground for protecting pheasantss and quail, for they more than pay for their cost of keep in the service they render. The rabbit, however, performs no such service, and the only excuse for encouraging their propagation is that men and boys may have something to shoot at. However, this ought not to weigh against the financial welfare of the farmer and gardener.
SULPHURET OF LIME.
The following is an English recipe for making sulphuret of lime, which is recommended as a remedy for curing poultry of the feather eating habit. Put three or four lumps of freshly burned lime the size of an egg into an iron pot and slake with boiling water, then stir in about six ounces of flowers of sulphur and add gradually two quarts of boiling water, stirring the whie. - Boll for an hour or so, then pour off the clear liquid, bottle and cork tight. A tablespoonful of this liquid to every six bens, put into the mash, is the best way to give it. Given a couple of times a week, this remedy is said to keep the plumage in good condition and soon puts a stop to the feather eating habit.
ABOUT TRIMMING TREES.
For those who undertake the trimming of trees for the first time it is a suggestion worth remembering to saw from beneath close to the tree on limbs of considerable size. After making a cut of fair depth the sawing may be done from the top side. This precaution prevents the splitting down of the limb and the marring of the trunk just beneath. A further safeguard in the cutting off of large limbs is to take them off a foot or more from the trunk, later taking off the stub. All limbs should be removed in such a way that the cut will be as close to the trunk as possible and on a line with the one of the trunk.
TOMATO BYPRODUCTS.
In Italy there are several manufacturing concerns that are now utilizing tomato waste in the making of valuable byproducts. From 1,500 tons of dried residue 150 tons of tomato seed oil have been secured and 800 tons of oil cake. The oil byproduct has been found a valuable element in the manufacture of soap.

There is a Broadway comedian whose wife is very fond of pets. He blocked her plans for adding to the ecological establishment as well as he could without spoiling the domestic entente, for he disliked pets. Then she wanted ichthyological accessions in the way of goldfish and nagged her husband until he grudgingly consented to the purchase.
"Oh, very well, then," he muttered gloomily. "But I hate the noisy things."—New York Post.

The Oldest Encyclopedia.
The most ancient encyclopedia extant is Pliny's "Natural History," in thirty-seven books and 2.493 chapters, treating of cosmography, astronomy, meteorology, geography, geology, botany, medicine, the arts and pretty nearly every other department of human thought known at the time. Pliny, who died 70 A.D., collected his work in his leisure intervals while he was engaged in public affairs. The work was a very high authority in the middle ages.

The Wickedest Bit of Sea.
Nine out of ten travelers would tell inquirers that the roughest piece of water is that cruel stretch in the English channel, and nine out of ten travelers would say what was not true. As a matter of fact, "the wickedest bit of sea" is not in the Dover strait or in yachting, for example, from St. Jean de Luz up to Paulliac or across the Mediterranean "race" from Cadiz to Tangier, nor is it in rounding Cape-Horn, where there is what sailors call a "true" sea.
The "wickedest sea" is encountered in rounding the Cape of Good Hope for the eastern portion of Cape Colony. London Globe.

"Dear me, Uncle Ephraim," exclaimed the bright western girl as she met the old gentleman in the hallway, 'you don't know how surprised I am to see you!

"Walter, confound it, this steak isn't tender enough!"
"Not tender enough?" the waiter snarled. 'Ah, what do you expect? Do you want it to jump up and hug and kiss you?'—Exchange.

A good story of the younger days of Sir Herbert E. H. Jerningham is told in the London Mail. As an attache and feeling very pleased with himself, as he records, he was once told that he was wanted in the anteroom of our embassy at Paris. There an old man addressed him as a "clerk" and demanded a passport to Russia. When he received it he handed Sir Hubert half a crown, saying: "It's for you, you know. I know what clerks are.

Lawyer Walden in the City
Lawyer Walden in the City Lawyer A. T. Walden, of Macon, Ga., was in the city for a few hours Wednesday, attending the wedding of his brother. Mr. Walden, though he has been admitted to the bar but two years, has made a very creditable showing and stands high in the legal profession in Macon. He is one of the best qualified Negro lawyers of the state, being a graduate of Fort Valley Normal and Industrial School, Atlanta University and a member of the 1911 law class of Michigan University.
