brary, which is located on
Henry street, east, opposite Dixon
park, is completed and has been
turned over to the curators.
The building is one of the most
beautiful and best appointed edi-
fices of the kind which Negroes
have at their disposal in any por-
tion of the South. It was made
possible by a gift of $12,000.00
from Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the
land having been purchased with
money raised by popular subscrip-

white friends in the city.
The building gs a two story
structure being 60%feet by 35. On
the first floor is a lecture room 32
¥ feet by 41 fitted with movable
folding chairs and having a capac-
ity of about 175 persons. ‘This
room may be used for fairs, enter-
tainments and other purposes.
The ‘furnace room and lavatories
are also on this floor.
On the second floor is the libra-
ry room proper. This room is
admirably ventilated and the light
is excellent.
The building is constructed of
red ¥ inch brick raked joint with
black mortar. The interior wood
work is of pine and cypress and
the floors of the first story are of
cement. those up stairs being of
rift pine. The outside wood work
is of bronze color and the inside
of modern English oak. The
walls are of a beautiful bluish tint.
The book cases extend to the
rear end of the hall. and the libra-
rians’s desk is near the front en-
trance . The table and chairs
are of fumed oak.
The dedicatory exercises will
take place onThursday afternoon

_ (By J. 8. Blocker)
The tenth annual session of the
Knights of Pythias of Soyth Car-
olina opened’ theif grand lodge
session in -\bbevifle, S.C. July
29th. The informal opening was
held at the St. James A. M. E.

hundred delegates from the-one
hundred and eighty-four lodges
in the state were in attendance
and a splendid’ program ‘was ren-
dered at,the opening.
The address of welcome in be-
half of the city was delivered by
Dr. C.C. Gambrell, mayor. May-
or Gambrell gave the Knights
and Courts a practical talk along
the lines of making good citizens
and right living, which was time-
ly. He assured the delegates
that the city was open to them,
also that the city council had
given the local committee fifty
dollars for their entertainment.
He assured the delegates that in

ored citizens exhibit at all times
the friendliest feeings toward
each other. 8

made a short talk in behalf of the
Grand Lodge, showing the order
had grown in ten years, from
eight to one hundred and eighty-
four lodges, also showing that the
endowment department ts backed
up by $150,00. Prof. R. S. Wil-
kinson, president of the State Col-
lege, at Orangeburg, S. C., also
;spoke in response to the-mayor,
assuring him that the K.ofP. was
no “before-day club,” but her aim
was to make better citizens and at
all times to liftup fallen humanity.
This was the banner session for

Union Dévelopment Company
Holds First Meeting
Pursuant to a call, many of the
stockholders of the Union De-
velopment Co., met last Monday
night at the office of G. H. Bowen
457 West Broad St., for the pur-
pose of hearing what had been
done; of discussing the present
status; and of mapping. out plans
for the future. A majority of

meeting.
Many were xsurprised to see
what progress had been made in
the matter of selling stock and all
were satisfied with the progress
to date. It was shown that the
option for purchasing the proper-
ty on West Broad Street was ex-
tended thirty days. After dis-
cussing the situation thoroughly
it was, decided to apply for char-
ter, and accordingly Mr. J. G.
Lemon, attorney-at-law, was em-
ployed to file petition. It was
also decided that all stockholders
push a vigorous campaign for the
next four weeks to sell stock, and
at the expiration of such time a
meeting will be called for the
purpose of organizing and closing
the deal.

_ Mrs. Lucy E, Case
the Atianta University, passed
quietly away at her home in
Charlton City, Mass., Monday,
July 19. The funeral services
eee held at Charlton City on
Friday afternoon, in the Congre-
gational church, in the midst of,
surroundiogs familiar to’ Mrs.
Casein her early years, and to
which she returned when the in-
creasing infirmities of advancing
years prevented continuing act-
ively in the work in which she
had spentso many useful years,
‘The funeral services were con-
ducted by Rey. Dr. Horace Bum-
stead, for thirty three years an
officer of the Atianta University
and for twenty years its president,
‘There were also present, repre-
senting: the school Mr. Butler
‘Wilson of Koston, and Professor
eurge A. Towns, alumni of the
University, and the writer.
‘The simple service in which Dr.
Bumstead outlined the life of Mrs.
Case, and at whith the two gradu-
ates sang asshe had requested Cer-
tain of the “Old Time Songs,”
and whereeach of usspole briefly
of the influence and large out-
come of her life was a service she
herself had planned, and which
we were glad to carry out. The
occasion was not altogether one
of sadness as Mr, Wilson pointed
out. There was the clear air, the
bright sunshine, the blue sky, the
beauty of flowers and the song
of birus, and Mrs. Case. To
how many .of the students of
the University and the graduates
who attended during thevyears
1869—1897 will the words “Mrs.
Case” call up the gracious little
woman whose inlluence was so
murked and so_pervasiye and so
beneficent. No longer will those
of us who meet the students of
that time be accosted with the
question, “And Mrs. Case, how
is she}? But it will be rather,
“And Mother Case, has she really
passed away?”
Mrs, Case’s early years were
spent in New England. Her fa-
ther was a thrifty and successful
farmer, living upon the farm first
cleared by his ancestors, and
which'still remains in the posses-
sion of descendants of theoriginal
settler. - Asa young girl she at-
tended Leicester~Academy from
which she was called home at 14
to the bedside of her dying moth-
er. This experience was followed
by six years of invalidism which
Jeft their impression upon her
fragile form, but which left their
influence upon her Christian char-
acter. She knew suffering all her
life and was made strong by it.
For some time she attended Mt.
Holyoke Academy and cameunder
the influence of Mary Lyon. And
who can claim that, the influence
of Mary Lyon upon Lucy E.
Merrium was not perpetuated in
the thirty years of active service
that Mrs. Case later gave to the
sons and daughters of freedmen;
and that the spirit of Mary Lyon
still lives in hundreds of homes
and schools and communities in
the Sunny South, Mrs. Case her-
self being the personality that
disseminated the spirit she herself
caught from Mary Lyon.
The Mt, Holyoke life was fol-
lowed by her marriage, and her
married life while brief was ap-
parently a very happy one. To)
the surprise of her southern
friends, Mrs. Case possessed con-
siderable power in versification, |
and a poem read at the faneral.
and written upon the anniversary
of her busbahd’s death showed a
good deal of poeticinsight. An-
other poem based upon the lame
man at the Gate Beautiful and
which had this comment upon it:
“A school exercise. Time, 54
hours” may serve to, illustrate
something of the persistency’
which she showed toward set
tasks and something of the quality
ofherscholarship.

ALL SEVENTH AND
EIGHTH GRADES AT .
NEW SCHOOL
INDUSTRIAL, AND_MANUAL
TRAINING TO BE TAUGHT
Several. Additional Teachers Will
Be Needed in System—Assign-
ment, of Teachers Not .Yet
Made—New, School Probably
Completed.
Ata meeting last week of the
committee of the Board of Educa-
tion to arrange for the course of
study at the new Cuyler street
schoos, tentative plans were
agreed upon forthe opening of the
school this fall.
{lt was decided that the seventh
and eighth grades at the other
public schools be transferred to
the new school in order that the
pupilsin these grades might be
gtyenthe manual and industrial
training, which it is proposed will
be taught at the new schooh
The moving of the upper grades
from the other three schools will
cause them to carry their pu-
pils no further than the sixth
grades, when they willbe trans-
ferred to the Cuyler street school.
The rooms now used for the upper
grades in these schools will be
used for the accommodation of
pupils in the lower grades.
It has been stated that the
change will not cause any of the
teachers,to bedropped, all of them
being provided work. ‘bere are
now three eighth and three seventh
grade teachers in the system and
in what way this will effect these
teachers is not yet known.
Cooking, sewing, dining room
service, sanitation and general
house services were the industrial
features the committee has deter-
mincd to provide for fhe female
pupils. Manual training will be
given the boys of the seventh and
eighth grades. .
It will be necessary, the com-
mit.ec found, to employ one
teacher in the Cuyler Street school
to instruct in cooking and related
subjects, and another teacher for
sewing and related subjects.
The assignment of teachers bas
not yet been made, but-the open-
ing of the new school will neces-
sitate, very. likely, an addition of
several new teachers to the sys-
tem,
The new school, is practically
completed andthe finishing touches
are now being done on the build-
ing. It will accommodate about
1,000 children and is one of the
finest Negro grammar schools in
the south. It is two stories high,
red brick and very conveniently
appointed. It is’steam heated and
the roomsare all large and well
lighted. Prof. J. W. Hubert of
White Plains, Ga.. has been
chosen principal of the school.
Motorcycle Races Labor Day by
Colored Club
The first motorcycle races ever
held in this part of the state by
Negroes are those which will be
pulled off on labor day September
7th, at Woodlawn park by the
Chatham Cycle Club. The affair
is attracting quite a deal of atten-
tion and it is expected that a
large crowd will be on hand to
witness the races. Most of the
colored boys and men of this city
who ride motorcycles will be in
the event, although at present
only a few have registered their
entries. Aside from the motor-
cycle races there will be several
bicycle races. The price of ad-
mission to Woodlawn park will be
15 cents, and a local band will
furnish music for the day. The
motorcycle events to be run have
not yet been decided upon’ but it
is thought that there will be one
event about fifty miles and several
about ten miles. Those who have
entered so farare:
Thor team—W. L. Butler, Jas.
Butler, Ae Baker.
Indian team—Henry_ Blake,
Saml. Reynolds, Thad. Middleton.
Harley-Davidson team—Tom.
Beaton, Johnnie Doyle, Perkin
Meynard, Josh Pitts.

In hot weather danger sometimes
arises for the clilldren in a faulty con-
ition of the food. This is especially
the case’ With milk, and it is neces:
wary to see that the milk used comes
trom a guaranteed source and that It
Js kept under hyglenle conditions in
the house.
Fruit, too, becomes a danger, and the
‘eating of unripe or‘overripe fruit 1s 2
very common cause of nursery all-
ments.
Now to consider the question, of
medicine and dieting when the first
‘warm weather appears.
For the former, when cirqumstances
render {t necessary, magnesia may be
eafely recommended, provited it fs {n
# suitable form for children’s use. Any
obvious disturbance in the internal ar-
rangements should be counteractod by
tbis in preference to castor ol or even
‘live oll, for both have a tendeney to
heat the blood, a tendency which 1s
counteraéted in magnesia. =~
To the older children a simple saline
draft may often be given with ad-
vantage.
. A,good, homely remedy Is made by
stewing prunes in water In which
some senna pods have been soaked,
one ounce of the pods being put into
a pint of boiling water and left until
the water {s cold. Strain the water
then and stow one pound of :pranes in
it, adding four or five tablespoonfuls
of golden syrup; then pass the mixture
through a sleve and keep it in a well
atoppered bottle, giving one teaspoon-
ful as a dose each morning. It is
quite nice to take and generally liked
‘by children.
When the Youngsters Travel.
Children traveling can all too easily
prove a bore to every one. On ship
board it is easy to keep them out of the
‘way. On some of the ships, of course,
special nurseries and playrooms are
provided. Even when this is not the
case the children can be kept happily
occupied with books and toys in their
@eck chairs or else cnn be taken for
awalks about the deck. But they should
not be allowed to romp up and down
the deck, running thoughtlessty tuto
other pedestrians and stumbling rudely
against the deck chairs.
Children in a train are harder to take
care of. Whatever their own discom-
fort muy be, don’t allow them to romp
up and down the aisles. If they become
‘ery restless they may walk up and
downthe aisles a few times without
disturbing any one if they can be trust-
ed to be quiet and mannerly,
For the rest interesting Eames and
books that con be enjoyed in thelr gents
“Shout be provided for thelr entertain-
iaent, Colored crayons, pencil and oth-
paper games, games of cards—like
“nuthors"—paper dolls and the other
sort of dolls and various word games
that can be directed by an elder mem-
ber of the party are all good entertain-
alent for child travelers. 2. jy
a Seaver es
o eummer Drinks For Children.
Barley water when very carefully
prepared {s a first rate Urink for chil-
dren in hot weather and makes a wel-
come change from plain water or milk
and water. Lemonade should be only
very sparingly given them, and then
only when carefully made with fresh
lemons. z
‘A child should be allowed to drink
a3 much as it likes elther of barley wa-
ter or plain cold filtered water. The
extra perspiration caused by the hot
‘weather will often induce thirst, and
the need nature makes felt in this
‘way should be met.
_ In hot weather, too, when there 1s
lassitnde or signs of ill health, one of
the excellent patent foods should be
given for a tlme. In this way the
nutriment required which is not given
by the ordinary dfet will be obtained,
for it is no use to force a ebild to eat
more than it wants at ordiniry meals—
avery common nursery mistake in the
first warm weather.
It 4s quite surprising to find the dit-
ference which a cup of malted milk
once or twice a day and a meal of some
00d patent food for supper will make,
even in a few days, in a child who is
peevish and generally out of sorts.
Eruit For the Little Ones.
‘The question of frait for children is
® vexed one, and it 1s well to put
parents on thelr guard. Really fresh
fruit, elther raw or cooked, provided
it 1s in good condition and free from
skins, strings and pips, is excellent for
the little ones.
‘RhuGarb is a-very valuable nursery
food. It should be carefully rubbed
through a sleve after having been
stewed, with raw brown sugar for
young children. Then it can be given
freely, even to tinles from eighteen
months onward, especially if beaten
up with custard. Indeed, this form of
simple “food” makes a first rate nurs-
ery pudding and one much appreciated.
‘Raw fruit except bananas 1s rather
at a premium now, but these should
have the fibrous strings adhering ‘to
then cagetully removed before belng
given to children; while for babies un-
der-two and one-half years they should
be mashed up with a little cream.
Food Between Meals.
Give the ebildren a cupfal of warm
Uquid—soup or milk—ft they como in
hungry. It is nourishing and doesn't
epoll their dinners.

A number of years ago Geni Bey, Es-

an Albanian nationalist, was sbot by
order of Abdul Hamid. For this rea-
son, when the Turkish parliament de
posed the sultan, Essad Pasha begged
to be sent to Yildiz Klosk to tell Abdul
of his fate. Accompanied hy three oth-
ers, he presented himself before his
brother’s.murderer and pronounced the
formula: “In accordance with Fetva,
the representatives of the nation have
decreed your deposition. Follow us.”
Essad subsequently declared that April
27, 1909, when he thus tasted the
sweets of. revenge. was the happiest
day he had ever known.—London Spec-

Orthography of Shakespeare.
Some interesting Shakespeareana ap-
pear in the London Record. It is well
known that in Shakespeare's time or-
thography was little accounted of aud
that, Shakespeare himself would have
considered the question of spelling bis
name in one way and not another a
mere waste of tine. It is, however,
‘worth.recording how the name struck
the Bodlelan officials when the Orst
follo was given a place and mark in
the brary. ‘The entries are as follows
and were all written in 1623: Bhak-
sper, Shape-speare, Shakspeare, Shake-
speare, Shak-speare. The testimony,
so far as it goes, {s obviously in favor
of the form “Shakespeare” and of the
present pronunciation of the word.

WHY CULTIVATE?
The “why” of cultivating corn ts
worth a thought at just, this time of
year, when every team in'the corn belt
that 1s available 1s putting in long
hours ii cultivating this great crop.
‘The chief object of cultivation should
be to keep the surface soll mellow and
the subsoil moist. The killing of weeds
is merely 4 secondary consideration.
The force of this statement™is made
perfectly clear in the dialogue which
took place last summer between two
farmers who were working adjoining
farms, thelr corn rows butting up to
each other on opposite sides of tho
same fence. The farmer who cultivat-
ed his corn to kill weeds only was sort
of ridiculing his neighbor for stirring
the soll frequently during the dry spell,
when there were no weeds in sight.
However, the other asked him to wait’
and pass judgment at harvest time.
When the corn in these two fields was
picked the farmer who cultivated to
Kill weeds got twenty bushels per acre,
and bis neighbor got forty. The facts
set forth ought to contain a suggestion,
for a good many corn growers, Z
FOR HORSE RAISERS.
A good many farmers do not realize
as much on the horses they sell as they
might because they do not follow any
definite plan in thelr horse breeding op-
erations, using a sire of one breed one
season and another the next and not
exercising any particular care in the
matter of the points of excellence of
the mares used for breeding purposes.
Dr. Alexander, the well known author-
ity on borse breeding, lays down five
rules which, if followed, he says will
produce 4 prictically pure and satis-
factory type of-pure bred horses: Have
in mind an ideal type toward which to
wrork and select one breed from which
‘to choose sires. Select and use only
sound, healthy mares as nearly of the
fdeal chosen as possible. Discard all
males produced and all females below
the standard. Feed breeding stock and
young stock at all times in such a way
as to develop all the possibilities of
each animal. Only sound, healthy sires
and dams should be mated, and every-
thing possible should be done to de-
velop constitution and resistant power
against diseuse. °
SOME COLLAR SUGGESTIONS.
‘The Nebraska College of Agriculture
makes some suggestions along the line
of preventing sore shoulders in borses
that are worth taking note of by those
who may uot appreciate thelr value to
the full The suggestions state that
sore shoulders more often come from
looseness along the side of the neck
than extra length of collar. In such
case the hames should be worked
rather long, which will tend to press
the collar in snug against the sides of
the neck. Lifting up the collar occa-
sionally on a hot day and letting the
shoulders cool is a good thing. ‘This
also gives opportunity to reinove the
mane or any foreign substance that
may have got under the collar. The
use of the sweat pad is condemned
because it makes the shoulder tender
and more susceptible to sores and tu-
mors. Bathing the shoulders in cold
water each night will do much to-
ward keeping them in prime condition.
A DRY COUNTRY REFRIGERATOR.
A South Dakota farm wife who
lives in a section where water isto
scarce to allow of using it to supply
a cooling tank bas worked out a plan
for refrigeration’ that is simple yet
very effective. A small refrigerator
-room {s built in the upper part of the
‘well and jast beneath the pump. with
an fron grating in one cornet ta allow
free cireuintion of the cool alr from
the well beneath. Steps are arringed

INOCULATION FOR ALFALFA.
Nitrogen Gathering Bacteria on Roots
of Plant Advised.
}~ “Alfalfa Is a legume crop, and for tts
successful growth nitrogen gathering
facteria on its roots are necessary,” ac-
tording to Manley Champlin, assistant
agronomist at the State college, South
Dakota. “Where alfalfa fas Been
grown for many sears the bacteria are
Ukely present in the soll—for instance,
certain parts of the Black Hills region.
But if the bacteria are not in the soll
it would probably be well to inoculate
either the seed or the Iand to produce
them.”
‘Mr. Champlin offers the following
suggestions on methods of inoculation:
“Nitrogen gathering bacteria are pre-
pared in the form known as pure eul-
ture by the United States-department
of agriculture at Washington, and
small quantities of this pure culture
are sent free to the farmers desiging to
moake a trial of fnoculation. In sending
Jn a request for this material the fol-
lowing facts should be stated: The
name of the crop to be inoculated,
amount of seed to be sown, acreage to
be sown to this crop and the approxi-
mate date on which you expect to sow
the seed.
“The inoculating material is sent out
within seven dayasof the time the ap-
plication is received, and it should be
used before the expiration of twonty-
five days from the date on which it was
sent, as the bacteria may be destroyed
it held longer than that. Requests
should be sent to the steretary of agri-
culture, Wanhington, D. C. The state
of South Dakota has provided no funds
for the making of pure culture at the
State College of Agriculture, though

requests recelved at the college are
usually forwarded to the secretary of
agriculture at Washington for atten-
tion.
“Karl F. Kellerman of the bureau of
plant industry says: “The Inoculation
of legume seeds with liquid pure cul-
ture 1s exceedingly simple. The seeds
to be treated are placed in a clesa
bucket, pafl or tub and the liquid pure’
culture applied a little nt a time, thor-
oughly stirring the seeds with the
hands, as though one were kneading
dough. This will produce a thin, moist
coating of culture on every seed. Too
much liquid makes the seeds too wet,
and if left standing thus for any ex-
tended period they may ‘be Injured.
‘The smail quantity of liquor, pure cul-
ture, furnished by the department 1s
sufficient to produce the required
amount of motstare on a considerable
bulk of seeds, depending entirely upon
the size of the seeds nnd how thor-
oughly they are stirred with the cul-
ture. After moistening the seeds
should be spread in a thin layer on a
clean floor or on newspapers and thor-
oughly dried. The complete applica.
tion requires but a short time and
should nét be done in bright light or
direct sunlight. If inoculated in the
evening and spread In a protected
Place the seeds will be ready for early
morning sowing. although seeds thus
treated can be stored for a week or
more should weather or other condi-
tions prevent immediate sowing?
“In all cases where inoculation is
practiced a strip, should be left along
the edge of the field without tnocula-
tion so ns to determine whether or not
the Inoculation was necessary.
“After the alfalfa or other legume
crop is two or three montbs old an
abundance of nodules or small bunches
should appear on the roots. These nod-
‘les are the homes of the bacteria, and
the number of nodules indicates: the
number of bacteria present. If an al-
falfa or other lesume crop grows with-
out the bacteria it, takes its nitrogen
from the soll the same as n grain crop
‘and therefore 1s not aa beneficial to
the soll as it is when ft gets its nitro-
gen from the alr. Furthermore. the
legume will not make the best growth
‘unless {t is supplled with bacterin or,
on the other hand, ts sown upon land
which is well manured and rich fo ni-
trogen. After one field 1s inoculated
adjoining fields may be quickly treat-
ed In future years by simply scattering
soll from the inoculated Sela upon the
new field.”

Our small earth is not absolutely safe from collision with bodies in space, but a safe from collision with any planet in the solar system and with the sun. To be hit by a planet either the earth or the planet must leave its orbit. This is impossible, and it is also impossible that the earth can leave its orbit and fall to the sun. The earth is being hit by millions of meteors daily, from the size of pin heads up to the largest, several hundred tons in weight—New York American.
Baron von Kempelen, at the beginning of last century, traveled through Europe with what he described as an unbeatable chess automaton in the likeness of a Turk. Kempelen used to coneal a man in the chest on which the Turk was seated, but so ingenious was he contrivance that for a long time everybody was deceived. Napoleon played chess with the pseudo-automaton when stopping at Schoenbrunn after the battle of Wagram. He lost the first game and in the second deliberately made two false moves. The pieces were replaced each time, but on the emeror making a third false move the Turk swept all the pieces off the board. London Chronicle.

Tipping the Attache.
A good story of the younger days of Sir Herbert E. H. Jerningham is told in the London Mall. 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.

Saturday August 8, 1914
Anent the pending bill before the legislature providing a primary election law for this city, our afternoon paper saw fit, as it oftimes does, to reflect disparagingly against our people by accusing them of being vote sellers. This wholesale charge is resented. The vote buyer is as bad and many degrees worse than the seller. All of us know who the seller is. The vote seller is no more prevalent among the Negro than among the class represented by this afternoon paper. We readily recall that some twelve years ago a white primary was resorted to for the election of city officials. The selling of votes was so great and cost so much that it was commonly discussed and since that time no white primary has been held. The enacting of white primary laws will not reach the evil aim at. The elimination of the Negro from politics will not materially help the community. Radical measures like these, eminate from radical minds and thoughts that are radical, result in much harm and act as a boomerang.
In his address to the local branch, National Director Geo. E. Haynes of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes struck the key note of popular thought when he said that the two great unsolved problems for the charity-workers of the day, are the economic problem of the masses and the child life of our people. Disorganized as they are, almost without yearning or ambition to improve their lot, the working masses of our people are in a chaotic state. Their crying need today is organization; that organization which will stimulate them to dignify the calling in which they find themselves with a view to self-advancement. In order to do this they must be encouraged, they must be advised by those of us who profess to have their interest at heart. What a great work is this for the local branch of the Urban League. Equally as perplexing and imperative of solution as the economic problem of the masses, is the problem of child life among us. It goes without saying that a large percentage of our growing young people develop abnormally from a moral point of view on account of a lack of the proper environment. Encircled as they are with all sorts of agents or agencies that savor of no good, too often do we find our young people drifting into channels of evil when a little supervision and attention on our part may cause them to drift in the right direction, another great field of endeavor for the Urban League and its fellow organizations, judging by the work already accomplished by the Urban League, we believe that National Director Haynes struck fertile soil in his talk to our people. Encouraged as they were by the presence and enthusiasm of National Director Haynes, we have no doubt that the Urban League will increase its future efforts in behalf of our people. It is our hope that the efforts of the League in the future as in the past, will result in much good for the masses of our people both young and old, in and about the city of Savannah.
In this age of peace or the settlements of disputes by arbitration, the very word, war, has a significance superlatively abhorent to us. If, by recapitulation, we go back a few brief years, the first international peace congress held at the Hague comes to our memory. Then, the great world peace movement took its start. Since that time, most of the great nations of the world either as such or through certain of their citizens of authority or
influence have signified their desire at least, if not their present willingness, to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks in an effort to avert a repetition of the bloody scenes of battle of a few years passed. "That nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more," has been the cry of the diplomats and peace advocates of the last few years. The partial success which came to the recent efforts of the A., B. C. powers of South America in keeping the United States and Mexico from engaging themselves in bloody combat, inspired much hope in the breasts of those of us who are advocates of peace that the c. vilized world had witnessed the last great struggle between the great nations of the earth. How much blasted, however, are our hope for perpetual peace among the great powers of the earth, as we now witness the titanic struggle for supremacy which has been started in Europe and which threatens the very foundation of civilization throughout the entire christendom! How sad! Think of it! A real war, a great struggle to the death, participated in by the leading powers of civilization in Europe now engages our attention. What a blow to the great peace movement does the present war situation in Europe give at this time! Truly we shudder within ourselves as we count the probable cost of this barbarous struggle to the nations who are now thus engaging themselves. With hundreds of thousands slain on the battle field, with cities sacked and ruined, with fields of vegetations completely destroyed, with business absolutely stiffled, what good can there come out of the present siege of savagery now having its beginning in Europe? Surely, is there no remedy against war? As we note this great struggle altogether uncalled for and unseemly, which now engages Europe almost in its entirety, we very reluctantly but seriously question ourselves as to whether or not the civilization of the world continues on its upward grade. War as we see it, is the pastime of barbarians, it results, most times, from a national sensitivity or narrowness which altogether afflochs the power of reason. The present case is no exception. A little broader policy on the part of Servia and Austria-Hungary, a more innate consciousness of the Golden Rule, would no doubt have resulted at this time in a Europe of peace instead of a Europe torn asunder by internecine and international warfare. At the present time, there can be no correct forecast of the termination of the war and its results. It is our wish that it will neither be long nor severe. Meanwhile we say to the God of peace that in this wish, our hope and prayers are all with Thee, are all with Thee.
Mrs. Lucy E. Case
After the year at Albany, Mrs. Case was appointed a teacher in the Atlanta University then about to open its doors and was present to meet the first class that entered the school. Her name appears upon every catalogue from the first to the forty-fifth, either as an active worker or as an honorary matron. Beginning as a teacher in many lines, with the growing number of pupils and better organization of the work finally she became Matron of the Boys' Hall. Perhaps it was here that she did her most useful and lasting work. Many a man to-day living a useful and worthy life looks back gratefully to a quiet interview with Mrs Case, in which admonition for work neglected, or rebuke for wrong done, or censure for opportunity wasted, might close with a talk of great spiritual earnestness and a prayer which left him with a great purpose awakened.
The purpose that Mrs. Case had in her work in the Boy's Hall (South Hall) may be illustrated in the following incident. I had hardly made my entrance as one of the new teachers in 1887 when Mrs. Case called me into her room and said: "I notice that you wear your hat in South Hall. We try to make South Hall a home and not a dormitory, and so we require the boys to remove their hats, and we ask the teachers to set the the example." In all the years since, I never enter South Hall without that gentle admonition coming to my mind.
Perhaps the strength of Mrs. Case's character is best shown by the grace with which she could yield her scepter after having for so many years successfully held it.
The second Mother of the South Hall Boys hesitated a long time to accept the position, knowing the first Matron would remain among the scenes where she had ruled so long, "But never," says the second Mother, "did Mrs. Case in any way by look, word or net make the work hard for me." That is, when she who had been queen became queen dowager; she resigned absolutely, so that her presence made easier and not harder a position hard enough of itself. And when with increase of years it seemed best that her home should be transferred from the campus to New England, she quietly accepted the decision without a word of complaint, tho' it may be in the spirit of another who said:
"I have fought a good fight,
I have kept the faith"
I have kept the faith
On her 60th birthday the Junior Class gave Mrs. Case a reception in the Girls' Hall, which some still recall who were privileged to attend. It will please the young women of that class to know that the little series of quotations selected by each and written upon cards and bound with a ribbon was among Mrs. Case's effects, and a number of these were read at the funeral.
The closing quotation expresses perhaps the attitude of Mrs. Case's mind during her closing years.
"For age is opportunity no less Than youth itself, tho in another dress
And as the evening twilight fades away
The sky is filled with stars invisible day."
Two movements are distinctly discernible in the South to-day, among the whites. One a forward movement, which recognizes the disabilities and restrictions under which the Negro lives and which presses for justice and opportunity for the Freedman's children; the other a reactionary movement which seems to hark back to the dominant sentiment immediately after the War, which seemed determined to hold on to as much of the forms of slavery as the new form would permit. It was this spirit which led to the return of the Northern Army and to "the awful mistakes and hardships and outrages of the reconstruction period." While the writer would comment upon these as "both real and fancied," he would ask what was there in the work of Mrs. Case and of hundreds like her to which the most pronounced reactionary can take exception?
Two expressions are made in the south to-day concerning the Negroes. The following quotation illustrates one of these. "The Negro is not only here, but he is improving wonderfully in education and in the acquisition of property ... the figures of statistics are beyond contradicting, the fact that the race as a whole is making forward strides away from gross illiteracy and dependent poverty." The following quotation illustrates the second:— "Wesay—a church paper in the South said it only a few weeks ago—that in a long fifty years of freedom the Negro has advanced so little that his condition is not encouraging."
But the writer goes on to say: "If that be true it is a grave indictment of us white folks, for the Negro has these fifty years accepted the conditions we have furnished him.... if there were no encouraging signs after our management of him for fifty years, the difficulty might lie with the management." If the Negro in freedom has failed, Mrs. Hammond places the failure upon the Southern whites. Dr. Dillard refers to statistics to show that the Negro has made "forward strides." An average of the two views might lead to the conclusion that the Negro has made progress, but would have advanced further under a moresympathetic attitude and management in the south. And this leads to the inevitable conclusion that such progress as statistics show is largely the outcome of an innate capacity of the Negro for progress plus the influence of that body of trained teachers from the north who in the past half century have been teaching Negro youth. And of these, Mrs. Case is but one significant example.
The passing of Mrs. Case in a sense closes an era in the history of the freedmen. Mrs. Case was probably the last survivor of the little companions that in 1869 opened for the first time the doors of Atlanta University. Perhaps with her death closes an era in which the "forward strides" of the colored race have been accomplished by the Negro himself aided by his northern teachers and friends and held back as Mrs. Hammond suggests by "southern management."
May it not be that the new half century shall see not two, but three forces co-operating for the solution of that vexing situation known as the southern problem. In this solution, we count first "the innate capacity of the Negro progress; second, a more sympathetic management on the part of the white south, as suggested by the forward movement referred to above; and third, the continued assistance of the north. And the result shall be an ever widening securing of justice and opportunity for all the sons and daughters of all nationalities and races who call this broad land "Our Country."
E. H. Webster.
In Memoriam
In remembrance of,
LUDISKA GORDON,
Who died August 7th, 1913.
I am lonely, dear sister, without you,
I miss you by day and by night. Dear
sister, the sun will rise, the sun will set
and absent is my Ludiska yet. The
night grows dark and still away, how
long will she stay?
Her foot prints in the yard I see,
But oh! they do not comfort me,
Her empty shoes, they speak so plain,
No more her foot will move again.
Oh! well I know it must be so,
Where she has gone there I must go,
My body too like hers must die,
And in the grave like hers must lie.
We fail to meet no more below,
Where she has gone there I must go,
Tis there we'll meet and love to see,
How happy, happy we will be.
In loving remembrance of our dear, brother,
BENJAMIN ROBERTS LLOYD,
Who departed this life August 7th,
1913.
Brother, thou art gone to rest,
And this shall be our prayer.
That when we meet our journey's end,
Thy glory we may share.
Brother, last year at this time you were with us and so was mother too. But today you lie silent in immortal clay and mother by your side. Sleep on, beloved, sleep on, And take thy rest;
I have Fasted You, meads,
Upon thee, the best
We love thee, but Jesus loves the best.

In speaking of the success of the Ga. Mutual our quarterly bulletine said:
"We are six years old. We have 24 branch
offices.
"We employ more than 150 men and women of our race.
"Our business showed an increase of 17 per cent in 1913 over 1912.
"Our business for 1913 showed an increase of 85 per cent. over the first year of our existence—1908.
"We have spent altogether $155,967.23 in sick benefits and in the payment of death claims in six years."
These we offer as our silent witnesses, and yet they speak for themselves.

Attending a single farmers’ {institute
may not impress one with the impor-

tion. This is the better realized when
it is known that for the year ending
June 30, 1913, there were 20,640 farm
jnstitute sessions held in forty-one
states and territories. These mectings
‘wero attended by nearly 4,000,000 peo-
ple, required the service of 1,036 con-
ductors and represented an outlay of
more than $500,000 in way of expenses,

more or less chunky conditfon, with’
the result that it proved too much of
‘2 good thing and killed out the onion
plants because it was too strong. This
experience suggests the fact that hen
manure is a very concentrated fertil-

on the land, it being better to mix it
with earth or other litter.

‘creased 69 per cent in the past fifteen
Fears, the price of whole mix has ad-
yanced’by but 39 per cent. In view of
these figures it 1s his contention that
cows that were kept at a ffir profit
at the beginning of the period mention-
ed are now being kept at an actual
loss. He commends joining a cow
testing association as the best method
of accomplishing the desired end and
getting rid of the loafers.

Miss Brown, who thus finds herself
conspicuous in the theatrical world,
was born at Hampton Falls, N. H., in
1857. She gained her education at

from which she was graduated in
1876. Almost immediately she took up

‘SULPHUR FOR POWDERY SCAB
Potato Growers Should Treat Their
Seed Potatoes With Sulphur,
On account of the,possihility of in-
fection with powdery scab, the depart-
ment of agriculture is now recommend-
ing all potato growers to treat thelt
seed" potatoes with sulphur. This Is
made expedient by the fact that in-
fected seed potatocs have been shipped
out of Maine, where powdery scab now
exists. Recent tests justify the depurt-
ment’s scientists In recommending 2
thorough dusting with flowers of sul-
phur after the potatoes have been cut
as a precaution agalust the disease, but
the treatment 1$ by no means Intended
to take the place of fortialdebyde ns a
general | disinfectant. The department
advistS the use of both formaldehyde
and sulphur.
Before cutting thé potatoes should
be soaked for two hours in a solytion
of one pint of formaldehyde to thirty
gallgns of water. They should then be
allowed to dry quickly either in the
open or while spread out on, a clean
floor. ‘This is known to be ‘effective
against common scab and blackleg and
should therefore be employed In all
cases, Whether It is equally effective
against powdery scab is doubtful, and
for this reason the uso of sulphur is
strongly ndyised in addition. The po-
tatoes should be cut first and then
dusted thoroughly with flowers of sul-
phur. A general use of this treatment
is advised.

antine Inw went Into effect. Every
possible effort is being made to prevent
this disease making {inroads on our po-
tato industry, and the co-operation of
all interested In this crop is much need-
ed in dealing with this new potato
malady.
Powdery scab does not attack the
portion of the potato vines above the
ground. It is primarily a disease of
the young tubers, which develops as
they mature In the ground. The dis-
ease fs wade apparent by small, slight-
ly raised pimples and n slight discol-
oration of the surfuce. When cut
open the infected nreas appear faintly
purplish and extend from approximate-
ly the outermost cells of the tuber
toward the deeper layers.
The powdery scab fungus, if con-
ditions are favorable, ‘may eat large
cavities siuto the immature potatoes,
Besides consuming purts of the tubers,
it stunts ‘thelr further growth aud
causes them to be deformed.
‘The seriousness of powdery scab may
be realized from the following state-
ment by a conservative Canadian
scientist:
“The disease should by no means be
regarded lightly. Severe attacks oc-
cur when potatoes are planted year
after year on infected land. Where this
ts practiced the resnlt will be potatoes
hardly superior in ‘quality to those
badly affected with the canker. This
fact is worthy of notice. especially
since, as in the case of canker. no pre
ventive measures have proved of much

‘BOYS AND GIRLS TEST Cows.
A group of boys and girls in south-
western Towa are this season taking
part in a contest thatsought to bear
frult in a better and more intelligent
type of Quirying in the near future.
One hundred and seventy-two of these
boys and girls are sending in to the
office of the State Dairy association
monthly reports covering the perform-
ance of the cows in their home dairy
herds along the lne of milk and but-
ter fat production. In view of the fact
that some of these youthful reporters
are keeping tab on as high as fourteen
cows it is estimated that more than 500
cows are beingchecked up. All boyS and
girls between the ages of twelve and
twenty are eligible for entry in the
contest, which has been set for three
months, Each contestant is furnished
with a dairy record sheet, on which
the weight of each milking is recorded
by accurate scales. Twice each month
a ‘sample of the milk must be taken
and tested to determine the per cent
of butter fat which it contains. Wher-
ever possible the contestants furnish a
small testing outfit and do the work
themselves, but where testers cannot
be secured the samples of milk are
tested at the creamery or statton where
the test 1s made, The kinds of feed
used and the-amounts of each consum-
ed are carefully recorded {n order to
determine the actual yalue of each
cow.as a producer. Ieed schedules
giving the value of the common grains
and roughages are furnished, so that
the cost account may be figured on the
same basis. Each contestant is re-
quired to write an essay of not over
500 words describing the manner in
which the work is carried on and the
benefits derived, the prizes awarded
being upon the thoroughness with
which the testing work ts done and the
fullness nnd nccuracy of the records
kept. "Breeders of dairy cattle and
dairy supply houses bave assisted by
offering valuable prizes for the boys
and girls who make the best showing.
Threo of the winners are to have their
cholce of a pure bred Guernsey, Jersey
or Holstein bull calf, while others will
receive cream separators, Babcock
testers and otber dairy equipment.
HORSES VERSUS MOTORS.
As long as ten years ago it was pre-
dicted that the automobile would put
the horse out of business. That this
process Is likely to be one covering a
very long period is shown in the fol-
lowing figures giving the census of
horse propelled vehicles and motor ve-
hicles of,one kind and another in the
city of Chicago in the years 1911 and
1914: In the former year there were
40,109 one horse vehicles in Chicago,
17,640 two horse vebicles, 331 threo
horse figs and 34 four horse rigs.
In the same year there were 436 and
863 auto delivery trucks of less than
one ton and more than one ton cs-
pacity respectively. Early in the pres-
ent year the census for the four kinds
of horse vehicles were in the order
abore given as follows: 38,305, 15,851,
256 and 17 respectively. ‘Bhe two sizes
of motor trucks had increased to 2,448
and 1,759 respectively.
GETTING RID OF CROWS.
Where crows do not pull corn and
kill Uttle chickens it 48 generally con-
sidered that they do ‘more good than
harm because of the fact that they de-
your large numbers of beetles, cater-
pillars and mice. Where they do in-
dulge in the two practices referred to
an excellent method of putting a stop
to their depredations ts by Killing sev-
eral crows and hanging them up on
long poles. There is something quite
suggestive in the sight of a still crow
at the end of a long pole, and the live
ones that remain are quite Ukely, to
fight shy of the places where sich
crows aro on exhibition, The writer
has tried this method-and found ‘it
very satisfactory. If the crows are
too wars to sit for a shot at from
twelve to fifteen rods one ought to get
a bead on them at a greater distance
with a good target rife. °
A CHINCH BUG PARASITE.
An entomologist of the Kansas ex-
periment station has discovered a para-
site which lays its eggs within the eggs
of the chinch bugs, and it is his opin-
fon that this parasite will ultimately
mean the control of the chinch bug
pest. When hatched the larvae of
the parasites feed upon the contents
of the egzs In which they are laid.
Last season Professor McCulloch, as-
sistant entomologist, collected fifty-one
insects, and he bred out 786, of which
number 512 were females. It was
found that these females laid on the
average from twelve to twenty-nine
eggs daily. ‘Their life period was
found to run from twelve to thirty
days, depending upon weather condi-
tlons, from elght to ten generations
being produced.
KILLING PLANT LICE.
One of the worst foes of plant life
during the warm’ summer months are

may be kept In check by spraying the
plants or trees with elther a stap or a

Hadn't Been Taught.
Little Grace, who had recently entered school, brought home some pumpkin seed one day and told her mother that the teacher said that although the seed was white the pumpkin would be yellow.
"And what will the color of the vines be?" her mother asked.
Grace replied that the teacher had not taught her that yet.
"I know, dear, but we have pumpkin vines in our garden, and you must know what color they are."
"Oh, of course I do, mother, but we ain't supposed to know anything until we're taught." replied Grace convincingly.—National Magazine.
The Gordian Knot.
When one of Uncle Sam's sailors, a man named Gordon, formerly serving on one of the vessels in a West Indian squadron, was taken to the Naval hospital in Washington he described with grewsome vividness to his companions there his adventure with a shark off one of the islands in the West Indies.
"I had jest fell over the bulwarks," said the able seaman, "when along comes a big shark an' grabs me by the leg."
"What did ye do then, matey?" asked one of the patients.
"I never disputes none with sharks," said the sailor. "I let him have the leg."
Her Choice.
They were sisters-in-law and reasonably well disposed toward each other. One was the mother of George, aged six months, and the other was the mother of Marian, aged six months and four days.
"Marian does not seem to grow very fast," said the mother of George, with a suggestion of commiseration in her tones. "George is much taller"—(height being measured in inches).
"Perhaps he is," replied the mother of Marian coldly. "but Marian weighs more."
"Oh, well," responded the sister-in-law, with a smile of high bred superiority. "of course I should not wish George to be gross."—Exchange.
Ocposites.
"It's such a world of opposites," says an observer. "On one side the rich, on the other side the poor. On one side the laughing optimists, on the other side the wailing pessimists. Here the gilded youth who won't do any work, there the ragged youth who can't get any work to do."
He paused, then ended:
"Yes, a world of opposites. On the one hand we see an army of young fellows saving up to get married, and on the other hand an army of old fellows saving up to get divorced."—Exchange.
A Culinary Tragedy.
"What's the matter, dear?" asked Mr. Justwed as he came into the house and found his wife crying if her heart would break.
"I am so discouraged," she sobbed.
"What has bothered my little wife?"
"I worked all the afternoon making custards, because I knew you were so fond of them, and—and"—Here she began weeping hysterically again.
"And what, darling?"
"And they turned out to be sponge cakes."
Hard Music.
"Can you make me a sheet iron mandolin?"
"I might, but it wouldn't have much tone. What do you want of a sheet iron mandolin, anyway?" "I'm trying to serenade a girl, and they have a bulldog. I've busted several instruments on him. Next time I smash him I want to smash him good."—Louisville Courier-Journal.
The Man and the Mummy.
"This," said the guide who was piloting a bunch of tourists through Egypt as he, pointed to a mummy, "was a high priest, the wisest man of his day. He lived to a great age."
"Was his last illness fatal?" queried the wag of the bunch.
"Of course it was," answered the guide, with a look of pity at the other.
"That's queer," rejoined the waggish person. "His present appearance would seem to indicate that he was permanently cured."—Chicago News.

Making the Little Farm Pay
EGGS become so cheap in summer that in order to clear any money poultry owners must have a select trade to sell to, or else batch chickens and supply the market with rollers and roast-

ers. The broiler trade is attractive, as hotels, restaurants and clubs require an almost unlimited supply of these plump chickens about two months old and weighing two to three pounds. To make money reasonably fast one needs two or more incubators and should keep bens enough so that a machine can be filled in three to five days. There will be a supply of eggs to sell each month, but the bulk of them will go into the production of poultry.
Observe the principles of uniformity, freshness, cleanliness. Eggs for hatching should be clean. If not clean they should be washed in tepid water and carefully dried with a clean soft towel. This washing does not injure the egg, but it must be done quickly and carefully or the jarring of the contents may ruin it for hatching. As fast as the eggs are washed and dried they should be covered with a layer of clean cloth or absorbent cotton to prevent their becoming chilled. It is a good practice to stand the eggs in a cool, quiet place, each with the large end uppermost, for a period of twelve hours before placing for incubation. This balances the yolk in the center and locates the air cell.
Eggs waiting for incubation should be kept at a temperature of about 60 degrees F., although they will stand a variation of temperature from 40 to 100 degrees. They should not be allowed to dry out, nor should they be exposed to a current of cold air, steam or vapor. During storage eggs for incubator use should be turned every day.
Hens kept in unhealthful quarters or too closely confined are not likely to lay eggs that will produce strong, healthy chickens. Hens suffering from disease or infested with vermin may lay, but eggs from such hens will rarely hatch, and even if they do hatch the chicks will not be likely to mature into vigorous or growthy fowls.
Hence, in order to secure hatchable eggs the hens must be healthy, have plenty of exercise and be fed upon an assorted or balanced ration. An exclusive corn diet will not make for fertility. Fowls in confinement must have a mixed diet and plenty of ground bone, with meats, clovers or other substances in the line of nitrogenous food. It is wise to aim at uniformity in age, size, color and breed. There is a great deal in selection, and this goes back to the parent stock before the eggs are laid. If the flock is uneven the birds ought to be separated into pens so that the eggs taken for hatching are sure to be fertile and from a good strain of hens.
The best pullets hatched every spring ought to be kept for winter egg production. They will begin laying when prices are high. Pullets will begin laying at five to seven months of age, according to the kind of blood in them. Nearly all the pullets hatched in March will begin laying in October or November, just in time to furnish a supply of eggs when prices are highest. A good plan is to bring pullets along steadily without forcing, and they will be good size at six to seven months. Keep the flock divided and do not let males run with pullets the first year, or while the eggs are wanted for market. When wanted for hatching let the males run with them, twelve or fourteen hens for each rooster.
It is obvious that the best results economically come from chickens running at large on the farm. With but little attention they gather the greater part of their food, and it is properly balanced at that.
In order to provide a large grain supply at the least expense a nearby tract—say the orchard—should be planted to wheat, the chickens being confined until it has come up well to prevent scratching out the seed. When ripe the birds will attack the crop, doing the reaping and thrashing, with no attention whatever from the owner.
Circular and Flat Beds.
A charming circular bed can be made from a combination of blue clematis and pink gladioli. The clematis is planted in the middle and trained low over the bed on wires about one foot apart and fifteen inches from the ground radiating from the center. The gladioli grow up through the wires.
A simple and lovely flat bed can be made by sowing a carpet of sweet alyssum, Little Gem, white, and dotting it with Lilac Queen.
To Preserve Plants.
A good method of preserving plants that have been transplanted and before their roots have taken hold of the ground is to cover them with inverted flower pots of suitable size. These should be in place only during the warmest and sunniest part of the day. They should not be used on dull days. They prevent the strong sun from scorching the foliage and also help to maintain the moisture in the soil.

Dishes of Tez.
The Tavistock, the bachelors' hotel in 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. These dishes are cups without handles. They are larger than those used by our great-great-grandmothers, which would hardly suit the modern masculine demand. The Tavistock dishes are of uniform pattern-white china with a broad blue band-Pall Mall Gazette.
Mme. de Stael.
Bonaparte said France was not large enough for himself and Mme. de Staal at the same time and exiled her. Next to Bonaparte she was, through her salons, the most powerful personage in the country in her time. "If I were empress of the world," exclaimed the brilliant Mme. de Tesse, "I would command Mme. de Stack to talk to me forever."
How Amber Is Obtained.
Almost all the amber comes from the coast of the Baltic sea. Amber is a fossil resin. After a storm large quantities of it are washed up, and the fishermen go out with draguets and haul it up. All finds must be delivered to the Prussian government, which has a monopoly of the industry. It owns a large mine at Palmnicken, where hundreds of miners are employed in digging it out of a stratum of blue earth. It is turned in lathes and carved principally by women, and all the debris is used in making varnish.

Paganini's Cab.
On awakening one morning at his hotel in Vienna Paganini, the celebrated violinist, was informed that the cabman whom the previous evening he had employed to drive him to the concert hall where he was playing was waiting to see him. On being admitted to his presence the man, after having advanced poverty and a large family as an excuse for the request that he was about to make, prayed the great musician to make his fortune. "What do you mean?" demanded Paganini. "Authorize me to write in large letters on the back of my vehicle these two words, 'Paganini's Cab,'" was the answer. Consent was given, with altogether satisfactory results.

} Inour letter of last week, we
-/casually mentioned the fact tha

;;much taken in trying to tell the
.| public of the men and things wortk
||while in Savannah,'to stop tc
give notice and publicity to the
empty headed, blatant mouthed
}dudes and minnows, who can
neither help nor hinder any cause.
{It was the late Sam Jones whe
Jsaid: “the hit cur will yelp.” So,
‘| friends, whenever you heara cur
| yelping you may rest assured that
he has received a kick or a blow
and he is simply trying to attract
the attention of the others of his
kind to himself.
Just here we wish to call your
attention to the number of em-
ployées of the seVer Negro indus-
trial insurance companies in this
city alone, and their magnilicent
pay rol], These seven Negro in-
surance companies furnish em-
ployment to one hundred and forty
eight men and young women of
the race, right here in Savannah,
alone, and paid these one hundred
and forty eight Negro employees
for the week of July ist; 1914,
$1,766.70, These figures ‘are not
given to the public as a matter of
guess work, or ‘‘catch as catch
can,” but the serersl managers
had their book keeper to take time
and pains to go through their rec-
ords and see’to it that nothing
would be given out to the puclic
but facts.
Tam sure that you are some
what surprised at this great army
of menand young women being
furnished such profitable employ-
ment by men of your own race,
right.here in Savannah, alone, for
Iam frank to confess that I am
both startled and surprised.
Just think of one hundred and
forty eight Negro menand women
receiving $1,766.70 for one week’s
pay at the hands of seven black
men, right here in Savannah.
But think how this army of'Ne-
gro employees would be- doubled
and trebbled in this city alone, if
we would only stop long enough
to take the time to think. .
Right here in Savannah alone, |
there are live other industcial in-
surance companies whose officers
and directors are composed of
members of: another race, whose
business, life and existance de--
pends upon the members of the
race of which you and [ form a
part. Just to give you an oppor-!
tunity to think upon the serious-
ness of this proposition, permit.
us to ask you how many members
of the race are employed by the
last five mentioned companies?
Don’t answer right now—
Here the curtain falls.
It has been our privilege in this
and in other states to talk with
high cluss men of the other
race, who were frank to say to us
that they could see no just’reasons
for thoughtful-men and women of
the Negro race not supporting one
another in legitimate businesses.
These high class white men ev-
ery where are constantly advising
our people to encourage and sup-
port one another in business.
So far as the management of
the several Negro industrial insur-
ance companies is conceined, we.
assure the public that we have no
complaint to register with refer-
ence to the support you have.
given andare still giving the com-
panies represented by us, for you
it was who made it possible for us
to hand out to one hundred and
forty eight Negro men and women
on the first week in July 1914, the
almost seeming impossible amount
of $1,766.70 for one weeks pay.
