The Savannah Tribune LOCAL REAL ESTATE MAN HONORED ELECTED PRESIDENT NATIONAL REAL ESTATE DEALERS National Negro Business League's Session Just Closed, A Brilliant Affair—Attendance Largest in History of Body—Reports Show Great Progress—Several Interesting Side Trips by Delegates. The fifteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League which convened in Muskogee, Okla., from the 19th to the 21st of this month was one of the most brilliant and successful meetings this body has ever held. Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of the league, presided at most of the sessions and the reports read by the various members showed in no unmistakable manner the great progress which the race is making along commercial lines. Dr. Washington in an address at the Gaity theatre on last Friday night painted the progress of the race since emancipation and for an hour and twenty minutes captivated an audience of over a thousand representative white friends. His remarks repeatedly elicited applause, and as many persons as heard him were turned away at the doors, because of lack of accommodations. The president's annual address to the league was one which sank deep into the hearts of his many hearers and was along the usual conservative lines, touching upon every phase of Negro life and urging the young men of the race especially to take advantage of their opportunities and make men of themselves. The Negro real estate dealers throughout the country will be pleased to learn that a real estate department was organized by the league. Among those who were foremost in advocating the addition of this feature to the league was Savannah's representative, G. H. Bowen, who, the local business men will be pleased to know, was made president. The feature of Tuesday's program of the league was the industrial parade in the afternoon, which terminated at the fair grounds. The parade was an hour and twenty minutes long, showing the progress of the Negro and the idea of demonstration and advertising. Four bands, boy cadets, floats with school children, Negroes in automobiles, carriages and buggies, a troop of men and women on horse back, bicycle riders and mule riders wound down the street in gala attire. It was said to be the finest demonstration in the history of the league. The side trips for the visitors were very interesting, especially so, was that to Boley, Oklahoma, the most progressive Negro town in the country, where a short session of the league was held. Practically the entire delegation took in the trip, a stop of about two hours being made at Ocmulgee, Okla., where a dinner was served and other celebrations were engaged in. Several cities made bids for the next session of the league, Kansas City, Mo., Boston and Washington, D. C., being the ones most prominently mentioned, with the former seemingly having the larges number of supporters. Mr. Bowen, the local representative, will tell of his trip on next Thursday night at a public meeting of the league at St. Paul C. M. E. Church, Maple and West Broad streets. The meeting will convene promptly at 8:30 o'clock. Evangelical Ministers' Union. The Evangelical Ministers' Union met Tuesday with Rev. P. F. Curry, presiding. Rev J. S. Jenkins conducted devotional services. A letter from the S. A. L. official, in which he spoke of his road's willingness and desire to do all in its power to make conditions for the colored people on his road what they should be was read. Rev J. S. Striplin read a paper which was widly discussed. A Model School Building While in Savannah the South Carolina party had a splendid opportunity to inspect the new grammar school building for colored people just completed on Cuyler street. This is without a doubt the best and most complete school building for colored people in the South. It has 21 large rooms, wide halls and the facilities that are found in the best regulated northern schools. The superintendent, Mr. Ashmore, plans to emphasize teaching of the practical sciences, domestic science, sewing, dress making, school gardening, drawing, manual training, etc., along with thoro training in the English ranches Prof. Jno. W. Hubert, A. M., a graduate of Morehouse College of Atlanta, and of Chicago University, for a long time head of the natural science department of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., and head of the Farm School at White Plains, Ga., has been selected as principal of this school. He is now preparing to assume his official duties the 1st of October and make this the greatest school of its kind in the country. The Palmetto Farmer wishes to congratulate the city of Savannah on having such a splendid gentleman as Mr. Ashmore as its superintendent of schools. We wish also to commend the steps that Savannah has taken to educate its colored population properly to other cities and small towns throughout the South. Savannah has seen that the future of her white population is inseparably bound up with that of the colored man, and is preparing to make a better neighbor out of him. Let the South take heed.—Palmetto Farmer. First A. B. Church. A splendid audience heard the Rev. J. K. B. Butler preach at the F. A. B. Church on last Sunday morning and night. His text at 11:00 o'clock a. m. service was selected from Ezekiel 36:26, subject, "A new heart." At the night service he preached a strong and forceable sermon from St. Luke 2:10, subject, "The Gospel." Rev. J. H. Gordon offered a fervent prayer, after which the choir sang, "Must Jesus bear the cross alone" Rev. Butler deserves much credit for the manner in which he delivered his sermons. Indeed the members of the F. A. B. Church delight in hearing him preach, and, too, they feel a nearness towards him, because of the fact, his inspiration for the ministry eminated in their midst. He has made a success in the ministry since he started in the 70's, and has been an honor to the church of his first membership. For a number of years he held important charges in some of the leading cities in the New England states, and lastly in Fernandina, Fla. He is now in his home city, a live worker, on the mission field among many of his boyhood friends, who wish him all success that can but attend him. The church held its monthly conference(post poned) on last Monday night and much business was transacted. Dea. Lee Gilmore was given permission to preach three trial sermons to the church, by request, preparatory to granting him papers as a licentiate minister. Plans are being devised to remodel the parsonage and the church. The members are urgently asked to co-operate with the officers, as they desire to do this work before calling a pastor, which, no doubt, will be done in three or four months. The church will unveil its mourning some time next month. The Sunday School is in a flourishing condition, also the B. Y. P. U. The red and blue lines are making things hum to outstrip each other in raising the most money. The St. Catherine excursion was a success. Married Miss Ineze Fleming and Mr. Thomas Jefferson were quietly married on last Monday by Rev. Daniel Wright at the parsonage of the First Bryan Baptist Church. Mrs. Jefferson leaves tomorrow for Augusta, Ga., for a month's stay. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1914 [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. Rev. B. S.

The funeral took place yesterday afternoon from the house. Rev. R. H. Singleton and Rəv. J. K. B. Butler, officiated. Mrs. Olara King Davis, after a lingering illness, died on Thursday morning. She was well known among the smarter set of the city. The funeral will take place on Sunday. She leaves a husband and several relatives. Second Baptist Church On last Sunday the services throughout the day were splendid. Rev. Pinson preached. In the early evening proceeding the night service, a splendid crowd of young people attended B. Y. P. U. meeting. Deaths Fox Club no Match for Home Boys The baseball game pulled off at the ball park on last Monday afternoon between the Fox Club and the (Home Boys) Savannah Home Association was quite amusing. The Fox's went down in defeat before two hundred and fifty enthusiatic fans. Quite a number of women witnessed the game. The score stood 24 to 1. Mumphris who began the twirling for the Fox, was taken out after the first inning and Brown took charge of the inound. It was no better for the boys. The heavy hitting Home Boys swat the ball at will. In the last four innings of the games, Brown got himself together and pitched fairly good ball. Coca who did the slab work for the opposing team and Robbie Burke who did the receiving, worked like machinery. In fact the entire team put up a good game. The infield was very strong and everytime the Foxites would connect with the ball they would find a Homeite in the way of its passage. It was only through a fast play by Burke to Stiles, the latter covering the third bag, that enabled the Foxites to cross the home plate. Burke throwing a wild ball which Stiles failed to field. Mungin of the Home Boys led the batting, getting 4 hits out of 6 times up, followed by Jackson, Daniels and Green, all of the same team who got 3 hits each. Hits off Mumphris and Brown 19, off Coca 4. Glover, left fielder, played the best game for the Fox: T St .Philip's Church --- Rev. R. H. Singleton preached morning and evening on last Sunday. The Flipper and Singleton divisions are very busy. Five thousand dollars must be raised by October 25th. Every class must be organized, each class to has a president, secretary and treasurer. The latter must collect from each member every week and report to the general treasurer every Sunday. Every class leader must see to it that every member on his class have tags. Our friends are earnestly requested to assist the church. The Singleton division will open a five night fair on Monday night, August 31. The public is invited to the A. C. E. League every Sunday at 7 p. m. St. Stephen's Episcopal church congregation with the pastor worshipped at St. Philip on Wednesday night of last week. Rev. Taylor delivered an excellent sermon. Rev. Este, pastor of Bethel church preached on Monday night of last week and Rev. C. C. Cargile, presiding elder of the West Savannah district, preached on Thursday night of last week. Motorcycle Races Labor Day The entry list for the motorcycle races Labor day at Woodlawn park by the Colored Motorcycle Club is now about completed and will be published next week. All of the standard make machines will be in the races and much rivalry is being manifested by the various riders. The machines are all being tuned up and every evening most of the members of the club can be seen on some of the roads trying their mounts out. Aside from the motorcycle races there will be several bicycle races. Prize money to the amount of $150.00 will be given away and some fast time will undoubtedly be made in the races.. Full particulars of the event will be given in next Saturday's Tribune, together with the entire entry list. Boxing Contest Tuesday Night A boxing contest of considerable local interest will be that of Tuesday evening at the Liberty theatre when Tommy McGuire meets Jack McGuire (both white) and Hock Bones clashes with Kyle Whitney. Both of these bouts give promise of furnishing much excitement for the fans and a large crowd will probably be out. Beside the main bouts there will be six preliminaries. The price of admission will be 50 cents and $1.00. Special balcony has been reserved for colored people. Variety is the Spice of Life One may get a rest from the grim excitement of the great European war by reading "Cleek of Scotland Yard" in the Magazine and Story Section of the Sunday World and glancing over the humorous contents of the Comic Section portraying the many adventures of the Katzenjammer Kids or unravelling some of the problems in the Fun Book. Order your Sunday World early. Eureka Club Election The Eureka Aid and Athletic Club held their annual election of officers on last Monday night at their rooms Masonic Temple. The election was exceedingly quiet, there being no opposition to the present board of officers. For several years there have been two factions, but the getting together of the members on this election will have a tendency of eliminating factional fights which will be a great relief to the many loyal members of the club and prove beneficial to the organization. The officers elected were: W. H. Norman, president; H. S. Scott, vice-president; H. T. Singleton, financial secretary; R. W. Bryan, recording secretary; I. H. B. Goodwin, advocate; C. N. Mathis, treasurer; H. L. Felton, chairman of house. First Congregational Church Last Sunday Rev, J. L. Taylor preached a very acceptable and instructive sermon. His presence and sermon were heartily appreciated by the members and friends of the church. He will preach again tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. The subject of his sermon will be "Recognition of our loved one in heaven and the purpose of the waiting dead." It is expected that a large congregation will be out to hear him. This is the last Sunday of the vacation period. The pastor, Rev. W. L. Cash, who has been away, is expected to be at his post the following Sunday. Tabernacle . Baptist . Church First Tabernacle Baptist Church, Huntingdon street, west, Tuesday evening prayer service, Thursday evening preaching, Friday evening choir rehearsal. Sunday services 5 a. m., prayer service; 11 a. m., and 8:30 p. m.; preaching. Friends and visitors are cordially invited to attend all meetings. Rev. E. D. Davis has returned to the city after having had a successful stay at Jackson, Ga., where he conducted a successful revival of five nights at the Zion Baptist Church. NUMBER 49 SAINT JOSEPH AID SOCIETY MEETS SAINT JOSEPH AID SOCIETY MEETS REV. B. S. HANNAH UNANIMOUSLY RE-ELECTED TO HEAD ORGANIZATION Two Hundred Seventy-five Delegates Present—Division Has Made 2500 Members—Much Progress Reported Since Last Meeting—Next. Session. Goes To Fitzgerald. The Eastern Georgia grand lodge of the St. Joseph Aid Society convened at Seabrook's hall at 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning of this week in it fourteenth annual session and adjourned yesterday afternoon after a most beneficial and profitable meeting. The past grand lodge was the most largely attended meeting yet held by this division of the society, there being something over two hundred and twenty-five delegates present. The sessions of the grand lodge, both morning and afternoon, were well attended and a spirit of harmony and good will permeated every meeting. Rev. B. S. Hannah, grand chief, presided at all the meetings and his opening remarks on Wednesday were highly applauded by the members. This division of the society, which, by the way, was organized in Jacksonville, Fla., in 1897 and which has subordinate lodges in eleven states and a branch in West Africa, is composed of fifty lodges with a total membership of 2500. The treasurer's report showed the society to be in splendid financial condition, with a large increase over the amount on hand at the previous session held in Jesup, Ga. Numerically the society has also increased and the prospects are, with the interest and enthusiasm at an unusually high point, that this coming year will break all records in point of increased membership. On Wednesday night the society met at the Charles street, St. Philip Church in a public meeting and an interesting program was carried out. At the annual election of officers on Thursday afternoon the Rev. B. S. Hannah was unanimously re-elected grand chief. The following are the officers for the ensuing year: Rev. B. S. Hannah, G. C.; A. W. Mansley, V. C.; Rev P. F. Seabrooks, G. F. S.; E. W. Pope, G. R. S.; Rev. L. A. Clark, G. W. Prof.; Rev. R. L. Heard, G. W. Chap.; H. Bryant, G. Treas.; C. McCall, G. Marshal; W. C. Robinson, G. Watchman; Dr. E. M. Pinckney, G. M. R.; Mrs. M. E. Pierce, G. H. to W. P.; J. C. Elliott, G. H. to W. P. Why Try to Split the Delegation There seems to be a disposition on the part of a few who are going to attend the B. M. C. at Boston next month to split the Savannah delegation as to the route to be taken. From all accounts, the delegates in meeting assembled voted to go over the Southern Railroad and the same was accepted as the official route. Why try now to cause a split? It is now understood that one of the very delegates who supported the Southern Railroad is bestirring himself to such an extent against it, until he is personally calling on the delegates and trying to influence them to go another route. But the class of ladies and men who will leave Savannah to attend this meeting are not so easily changed, they believe in sticking to whatever is done first, last and all it he time and it is almost useless to say that every one of them will go over the road selected by the delegation on September 11th. Mr. W. S. Roundfield, chairman of the delegation, expects to carry quite a number. Every possible convenience and suitable accommodations have been arranged for, and all those who go by the Southern will undoubtedly have a pleasant trip. St. Stephen's. Sunday services at 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. The Rev. Mr. Rich of Baltimore, Md., will preach at p. m., all are invited. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson IX.—Third Quarter, For Aug. 30, 1914. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Matt. xxii, 15-22. Memory Verses, 16, 17—Golden Text, Matt. xxii, 21—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This lesson of questions by Pharisees and Herodians and Sadducees, feigning themselves just men, but seeking to entangle Him in His talk that they might catch Him in His words and so deliver Him unto the power and authority of the governor, is found in Matthew, Mark and Luke (Mark xii, 13; Luke xx, 20). His warning to the disciples to beware of the leaven or false teaching of the same three classes of people is found in Matt. xvI, 6; Mark viii. 15. The Pharisees were the most religious people of that day, but were mere formalists. Everything was outward to obtain praise of men; nothing real before God. The Herodians, judging from Herod, could enjoy a good talk, but preferred the sinful pleasures of this world to things real and eternal. The Sadducees were religious, but had no use for things supernatural, angels or spirits, and did not believe in any resurrection. None of them had any-use for Jesus Christ or His doctrine. Although they could not deny His wonderful works, His teaching was to them foolish and impractical and impossible. The light of His pure, holy life was too great a contrast to their selfish sinfulness. Even Daniel's enemies had to confess that he was faithful and that there was neither error nor fault in him and that it would be impossible to find occasion against him unless in some way concerning the law of his God (Dan. vl. 4. 5). These enemies of Christ were in a similar difficulty, but they would not cease from their purpose. The Pharisees and Herodians unite in a scheme which they think will surely enable them to find occasion against Him, and so they come with flattering words concerning His being a teacher of truth and caring not for what people think or say of Him (verse 10). They propound a question which it seems to them will bring from Him an ensnaring reply: "Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar or not?" "Shall we give, or shall we not give?" (Verse 17, Mark xli, 15.) They probably thought that He would advise not to give to Caesar and thus find Him guilty of teaching against Caesar. They did not begin to know Him, nor that He could read their hearts, nor that they were dealing with one who knew what was in man (Jer. xvil, 10; John ii, 25). How scathing His reply, "Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?" How surprising His request, "Show me the tribute money," or as it is in Mark xil, 15, "Bring me a penny that I may see it." When they had brought it and in reply to His question told Him whose image it bore, then He saith unto them, "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's" (verse 21). So they could not take hold of His words, marveled at His answer, held their peace, left Him and went their way (verse 22; Luke xx, 26). It was true on all occasions, "Never man spake like this man." He Himself said, "The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself, but the Father that dwelleth in me He doeth the works." "He gave me a commandment what I should say and what I should speak" (John xiv. 10; xil. 49). If we were as fully yielded to Him as He was to the Father it would be true of us, "It is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you" (Matt. x. 20). He was the image of the invisible God (II. Cor. iv. 4: Heb. l. 3: Col. l. 15) When we become His, by redemption we begin to bear His image and should day by day be increasingly conformed to that image, for to that end all things are intended to work (Rom. vill, 28, 29). If we by faith behold His glory it will be so until when we see Him we shall be like Him (II Cor. iii, 18; I John iii, 1, 2). By creation they belonged to God, for He gave them life and breath and all things, but by choice they denied God in their works through professing to know Him (Tit. i, 16). God wants nothing from those who will not accept His mercy in Christ Jesus. He must first forgive us as sinners and give us Himself in Christ and make us His children before we can render Him anything, but when we become His our song should be "ever only for Thee." The words "went their way" (verse 22) remind us of the same in verse 5 and that all who are not with Christ in the way are still going their own way to everlasting destruction. The same day came the Sadducees with their question about the seven brethren who, one after the other, had the same woman to wife. "If there be a resurrection, then whose wife shall she be of the seven?" (Verses 23-28.) Thus they thought they had shown the impossibility of a life after this one. Note His reply, "Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God" (verse 29). What a farreaching, comprehensive word and in a sense applying to all error, for it all comes from not knowing the Scriptures. The only way to be free from error is to know the truth, which makes us free indeed (John vii. 32-39). When is a man mos confused? When he misses his train. When are the people most unsafe?

They passed an ocean liner. "Andy," said Mr. Blank, "just look how high that ship stands out of the water. I wonder why it is." "Why, boss," answered the old darky, "don't yu know? We ain't had no rain for nigh on three weeks now, and de water's gittin' low."—New York Post Lincoln's Companions When Abraham Lincoln in 1860 sought solitude that he might write his inaugural address he asked his friend Herndon for a copy of the constitution, for Webster's reply to Hayne, for Jackson's proclamation against nullification and for Henry Clay's speech on the compromise on 1850. Speak of a reticent woman and most people picture to themselves a woman who doesn't talk much. But the truly reticent woman—the woman who makes reticence an art—is not at all silent. She talks with apparently the greatest candor, so that people go away from her saying what a frank, genial woman she is. And no one ever suspects, unless he or she is phenomenally clever, that the genial conversationalist had all sorts of unspoken things in her mind—Exchange. HIDING THE TRUTH. HIDING THE TRUTH. No good can come from a policy of hiding the truth. Be sure your sins will find you out, but there is no need to have sins. If you begin by hiding small things you will develop cowardice and dishonesty in almost everything you do. Giving Birds a Chance. If man's instinct as a hunter could have been diverted from birds to insects the history of economic affairs, and especially of agriculture, would have been very different. But he has continued killing birds, not merely as a sport, but often for greedy traffic, long after the need to do so passed away. The time has come when governments must take serious thought for the protection of bird life in order that plant life on which human sustenance depends may not be jeopardized and destroyed.—Atlanta Journal.

BATTLE RAGING ON BELGIAN BORDER Time Limit of Japan's Ultimatum to Germany Has Expired and She Has Ordered Beginning of Operations on Land and Sea. The French and British troops are facing the greater part of the German army along a battle line which extends from Mons to the Luxemburg frontier. The allied armies, which have been concentrating at strategic points for the past two weeks, are believed to be strongly entrenched, with powerful forts to lend support in holding back the invaders. An official announcement issued at Paris warns the people that the tide of battle may ebb and flow; that there will be no actions along this great line, which are bound to be responded to by just as stirring counteractions by the Germans, and that the people must wait for the outcome of the first phase of this great battle, which probably will last several days, before it can determine on which side victory rests. Japan Enters War of Nations. Japan has come into the war of nations. The emperor of Japan has declared war on Germany and the Japanese fleet and land forces are ready for the struggle around Kiao-Chow, the German protectorate in China. Late dispatches from Tsing-Tau say the German preparation is complete and that the territory will be defended to the utmost. Several German warships are lying in the harbor of Tsing-Tau and the waters have been mined. Coincidentally with Japan's declaration of war against Germany, the British official news bureau announces that the Austro-Hungarian government has ordered the Austrian cruiser Kaiserin Elizabeth, now at Tsing-Tau, to disarm and has instructed the crew to proceed to Tien-Tsin. This apparently eliminates Austria from the conflict in the far east. Liege Forts Still Defy Germans. While the Liege forts are said to be holding out, an official statement from the French government tells of the blowing up of Fort Chaudefontaine by the Belgian commander after it had been razed by German guns. Official Russian dispatches claim victory for the Russian forces over three German corps. Great Duke Nicholas, commander-in-chief of the Russian army, describes Russian victories in East Prussia. The Servians apparently are driving out the Austrians, and a late dispatch by way of Italy says it is announced at Vienna that the operations against Servia on the Drina river have been abandoned. It is reported that the Italian army will be mobilized August 27. Washington believes Italy will join England and France against Germany. JAPAN DECLARES WAR. Army and Navy Ordered to Strike at Once. The emperor of Japan has declared war on Germany. This action was taken at the expiration of the time limit of Japan's ultimatum to Germany demanding the surrender of Kiao-Chow. The Japanese government has ordered the beginning of operations on land and sea. The imperial rescript declaring war upon Germany has been issued. It officially inaugurates hostilities in the far east as a result of Germany's failure to reply to the Japanese ultimatum. The proclamation of the emperor sent a thrill through the country. Japan's entrance upon the fulfillment of her obligations to her ally, Great Britain, responds to the popular will from one end of the land to the other. Cheering crowds assembled in Tokio before the buildings occupied by the department of foreign affairs and the administration of the navy. The popular manifestations, however, do not approach the enthusiasm which preceded the war with Russia. 1,000,000 MAY LOSE JOBS. Stoppage of Dye Imports Would Close Factories. Instructions have been sent to Ambassador Gerard and American consular officers in Germany to notify the state department at Washington at once whether the European war will prevent the shipment of dyestuffs to America. The matter is of vital importance to woolen, cotton, silk, leather and other industries in this country that use colors because the present supply will keep such factories going only 100 days, when a million workers would be thrown out of employment. Foea' Goods in London Boycotted. Many shop windows in the west end of London are displaying signs, "No German or Austrian goods stocked here." This development of the war on the Germanic conference was inaugurated by the board of trade boycott, which is spreading rapidly. Feeling against Germans is becoming so bitter that Ralph Blumenfeld, proprietor of the Daily Express, publishes, it is quoted, that neither he nor any of his staff is a German. GERMANS DEFEAT FRENCH AND BRITISH French Forces Driven From Alsace-Lorraine HEAVY LOSSES REPORTED In First Big Battle Allies Are Defeated All Along Line and Kaiser's Men Are Swarming Into French Territory, It Is Said. The French and British troops opposing the invasion of the German army in Belgium have suffered a serious reverse according to the official announcement issued by the French war office. In the battle line, which extends from Mons to the Luxemburg frontier, several army corps composed of both British and French took the offensive on Sunday against the Germans, but their plan of attack failed, owing to the "unforeseen difficulties," as described by the official statement, and the troops retired on the covering positions. The losses on both sides are reported as extremely heavy, and the French officials described the Germans as being obliged to establish themselves in fresh positions in Lorraine. The French have abandoned those portions of Alsace and Lorraine which they previously had occupied, and now look for heavy fighting in French territory. Detachments of German cavalry, operating on the extreme right, have reached Roubaix, a few miles north of Lille. This territory is defended only by reservists. At Tsing-Tau, capital of Klao-Chow, the German protectorate in China, the German forces have prepared for a bombardment by the Japanese fleet by dynamiting all the tall structures there which might be used by the attacking forces as sighting points. They also have taken all possible measures to oppose the advance of a Japanese field army. There is a report emanating from Rome and Avlona that the Albanian insurgents have entered Avlona and raised their flag. Emperor Nicholas of Russia is reported to have gone to the headquarters of the Russian army, which has taken the offensive in full strength and is said to be 'advancing rapidly in east and west Prussia. A late dispatch from Copenhagen gives further reports from Austria that Emperor Francis Joseph is in a grave condition. JAP GUNS BOOMING. War In Far East Against Germany Regun. The Yamato, in an extra edition today, says that the bombardment of Tsing-Tau by the Japanese fleet has commenced. This message was passed by the censor of the navy department. British, French and Russian vessels of war are taking part in the movement. Unanimous approval of the war with Germany, which is calmly and dispassionately discussed, summarizes public opinion. The newspapers express regret over the necessity of hostilities, and urge the public to refrain from exhibiting resentment toward the Germans in Japan. They print messages of cheer to the army and navy. EXPLORE SOUTH SEAS. Sailors of Fortune Daring Wind and Wave. Four sailors of fortune, daring the wiles of wind and wave in a 42-foot sloop on the bosom of the broad Pacific, have sailed from Honolulu or a voyage amid the strange islands of the South seas. The sloop yacht Helene is bearing H. L. White, George Tait, R. Howell and J. M. White toward the many islands of the South sea archipelago. Provisions for about a half year are stored in the Helene, and it is the belief of the adventurers that they will touch at some port where provisions can be renewed within that length of time. The Helene can cover 125 to 135 miles a day with the northwest trade winds. Back From War Zone. Three liners brought into New York 4,261 more refugees from warracked Europe.

The Hopkins theater, the scene of many famous political conventions, but recently used as a moving picture house, was destroyed by fire at Louisville, Ky. The loss was $100,000. Three firemen were injured. KING ALBERT OF BELGIUM. He Was the Last Known of Europe's Monarchs Before the War. Albert Leopold Clement Maria Meinrad, king of the Belgians, called by Europe its handsomest king, was one of the most popular young men in Belgium before it was ever thought he would be king. He is the younger son of the Duke of Flanders and would never have ascended the throne of his uncle, King Leopold, had not three other heirs died before the old monarch. He is also known as the most modern king in Europe. He is the first royal newspaper reporter and the only one who ever sat on a throne. Not only is the king a ```markdown ``` ALBERT LEOPOLD, KING OF THE BELGIANS. newspaper man, but he is also an expert engineer, a lover of mankind and the most democratic of all rulers. Like his subjects, he also appears to be a first class fighting man, for of all the heads of the nations at war he was the first in the field, sharing the perils and privations of his subjects. The king of the Belgians was among the least known of the rulers of Europe until he told his soldiers to hold the forts of Liege against the German host massing at Herbestal, and right well did his soldiers obey him. King Albert is more than six feet in height and has a fair complexion and golden hair. He is thirty-nine years old, is married to a woman to whom he is unusually devoted and has three children. His spouse was Elizabeth Valerie, princess of Bavaria, with whom Albert fell in love in 1808, when he was sent on a mission to Vienna by his uncle, King Leopold. He is the son of the late Duke of Flanders, and it was the mysterious death of his brother, Prince Baudoin, or Baldwin, which made his accession to the throne possible. In 1808 he came to America and spent much time in New York, Washington and the east, went west and stayed for months in St. Paul. While here he studied about every conceivable industry in the country. On his return he wrote a book about America, which evidenced the fact that his idea of an ideal government was the one this country had adopted. For some time he was a reporter on a newspaper in Brussels and is said to have introduced American ideas in Belgian journalism. BELGIAN DOGS OF WAR. They Are Successfully Used as Draft Animals For Machine Guns. The use of dogs in warfare is not new, but the Belgian army has been the first to use dogs as draft animals for machine guns. This innovation was tried first during the last general maneuvers of the Belgian army, and it is said the dog guns are a success. Two of the big draft dogs in common use in Belgium for pulling little milk wagons and other light vehicles are at- AN ARTILLERY TEAM. tached to a gun, which is mounted on a carriage with two rubber tired wheels. The animals trot along at a faster speed than marching infantry. The dog guns are attached to the bicyclist battalion of the carabineer regiments. This battalion is made up of four companies, all mounted on bicycles. The guns are of the French Benet-Mercler type, one of the most improved models of machine guns. A cyclist company of carabineers with its attendant dog teams pulling the light machine guns can cover ground as fast as cavalry. The dogs are a special breed and have been trained by the army during the last four years for this special purpose. the breed animals being selected from excellent specimens. Spare teams trot behind the guns to act as relays on fatiguing marches. Headquarters for barber supplies and shoe polish. A fine line of cigars, pipes and tobacco. Shoes shined and repaired.

There is a youngster in college who combines the poetic instinct with a keen sense of humor. He is not a close student. In fact, he regards books as instruments of torture. One of the professors picked up a textbook belonging to him the other day and found on the flyleaf this bit of verse, which no doubt expressed the student's opinion of it: Should there be another flood For refuge hither fly. And should the whole world be submerged This book would still be dry. Working Overtime. Mr. Griffin had spent an anxious afternoon at the office and hurried home at an unusually early hour. "How do you feel, dear? What did the doctor say?" he questioned his wife as she lay on a couch, her eyes half closed. "Oh, he asked me to put out my tongue," she murmured. "Yes?" "And after looking at it he said, 'Overworked.'" Mr. Griffin heaved an audible sigh of relief. "I have perfect faith in that doctor, Mabel," said he firmly. "You will have to give it a rest."—Buffalo Express. The Voice of Experience. "So you want to marry my daughter?" said Mr. Cumrox. "Yes," replied the young man. "I am sure she loves me."

Saturday August 29, 1914 The death of Col. Waring Russell removes from us one of the landmarks. He was a leader in local politics and did effective work for the democratic party during reconstruction times. As jailor, sheriff and county treasurer he was well known. His defeat for the county treasurership a few years ago was the only one he has ever suffered, and it was undeserving for the democrats of this county owed him gratitude that they were never able to pay. No one with the least thread o sympathy within him can fail to feel keenly the appalling suffering and loss of life which the present European War is bringing about. To know that even women and children are the innocent victims of bombs thrown indiscriminately is almost incredible, yet according to the dispatches, such seems to be the case. Even with the strict censorship on war news in vogue there is much occasion for frequent shudders as there leaks out from time to time information concerning the wholesale slaughter of fighting men pitted against each other in deadly combats. What a sad condition! The question raises itself within our mind at this time as to the duration of the present war. At the present time no one can foresee or foretell its close. On the other hand, every indication points to a long drawn out struggle to the death between the warring countries. The colored people of the entire country as well as the white people who believe in equality and justice to all mankind regardless to race, color or previous condition, must rejoice in the recent repudiation which has come to Governor Blease and all for which he stands, through the primary recently held in the Palmetto state. This rejoicing comes not because it is characteristic of these people to grow happy over the failure of an individual to reach the goal of his ambition but because Bleasism in South Carolina was representative of a cancerous growth which if allowed to grow and spread, would in time destroy the very vitals of organized and representative government throughout the southland. There is no denying the fact that the governor of South Carolina is a misfit in governmental life. Indeed his actions have lead us to believe that he is a political monstrosity whose only object has been and is to ride into political office over the dead selves of a people who through legislative enactment have already become a nonentity in the political life of his state. It would indeed be impossible for one to measure the retardation which has come to civilization and progress of the state of South Carolina through the abnormal and insane vaporings of this political demagogue. Blinded by prejudice of the fiercest sort and together and absolutely bent upon political preferment and emolument, this man, the chief executive of a thriving commonwealth, has gone about his way belching forth mob violence incendiarism and violence against our people from one part of the state to the other. The result, no doubt, has already proven disastrous to organized government in South Carolina. Weak minded and easily influenced inhabitants of the Palmetto state have followed in the wake of their governor, imitating every act of his in his campaign of violence and vituperation against our people. Thank God, however, there are well meaning people in South Carolina, as the result of the recent primary clearly shows. And they have power within themselves. Rising as one man, they have repudiated Blease by one blow. Would that all like him suffer a similar fate. And we believe they will. The hand writing on the wall points to more enlightenment and justice in southern politics in the future. There is a growing wave of disgust against the demagogic statesmanship showing itself through out the south. We have every reason to believe and hope that in due time it will cover Dixie like the dew. Then and not until then will the people of the south shake themselves away from the fungus which for some time has kept their heads below the surface. Indications are that Bleasism has received its death blow in South Carolina. We wonder if this is true of other states of the south. Let us hope. In the meantime, let us pray that his satanic majesty will be buried so far beneath the surface that his future resurrection will be among the altogether impossible. Blackshear District Conference a Success The Blackshear, Ga., district conference convened at Scriven, Ga., on the 23 to 29th ulc., at Rev. J. K. Davis' church. Rev. M. T.

GRIM WAR LORD MOST NOTABLE Pen Picture of William II., the German Emperor BUT one short year ago Germany was celebrating the kaiser's jubilee—a quarter of a century of peace marked by progress such as no other nation had ever made in a like space of time. By all the standards of civilization the Teuton had made good. The population of the German empire had increased from 47,000,000 to 67,000,000 and the death rate had sunk from twenty-five to seventeen per thousand. German exports M. EMPEROR WILLIAM AT THE AGE OF TWO, FIVE AND TWELVE. were approaching in volume those of England, and her production of steel and iron was 50 per cent greater than that of the British isles. Emigration had ceased, and every year at harvest time a million foreign laborers had to be imported. Industrial insurance had shorn poverty and old age of their terrors. Wealth and luxury had grown hand in hand with art and science, and there was not a branch of the national life that had not flourished. Today the kalser has risked everything, the power of his empire—the future of his people, the very existence of his own dynasty—upon war. What manner of man is it who had the power—by right of birth alone—thus to dispose of the lives, the liberties and the peaceful pursuits of so many of his fellow men? William II., "der kalser"—for Bismark insisted that the new German M. EMPEROR WILLIAM AT THE AGE OF FOURTEEN, TWENTY-TWO AND TWENTY-FOUR emperors should assume the ancient style of the old emperors of Germany is the ninth monarch of the house of Hohenzollern to rule over the kingdom of Prussia and the third of the house to rule over the empire of United Germany. He is a gray haired man of fifty-five, not more than five feet eight or nine inches, with a distinct tendency to corpulency. The kaiser's face is always pale and pasty, and after fatigue or in illness he OF EUROPE FIGURE OF CONTEST He Has Cast the Die and Risked His Empire looks ashen gray. As everybody knows, he has been a cripple from birth. His left arm was injured so severely by the straining of the main nerves that it is atrophied and shrunken and hangs limp and practically useless save to repose on the gold sword hilt at his side. The extent to which this cripples his movements can best be judged by the fact that he cannot hold a fork in his left hand and eats with one which he holds in his right and which has a specially heavy outside prong with a flat cutting edge that answers the purposes of a knife as well. Yet by a wonderful display of pluck, perseverance and suppleness he has made himself an adept at most sports. The kaiser's "weltpoltik," or world policy, seems to have been always directed against Russia, France and England, and, although from time to time he had made efforts toward a rapprochement with each of these powers, he never lost sight of the possibility that one day they would all be arrayed against him. His policy has contemplated a vast colonial empire that would afford an outlet for German products and bring wealth and riches to the fatherland. But when the German empire was created the world was pretty well colonized and Africa about the only continent available for exploitation. But there France had the richest colonies, and as the kalser well knew that the loss of Alsace-Lorraine rankled deep in the heart of the French nation and that one day it would seek revenge, he never lost sight of the facts that he would sooner or later have to Aight France and that her African colonies would be the richest spoils of the war if he were the victor. But the growth of Germany's colonial spirit, the strong commercial rival- 3 1 2 9 EMPEROR WILLIAM ATTHE AGE OF THIRTY-FIVE, THIRTY-EIGHT AND FIETY-FIVE (PRESENT AGE, AT TOP). cy of Great Britain and the determination of the kaiser to have a fleet that might some day dispute the empire of the seas with the British navy led him to direct his policies also against England. He went about his plans with consummate skill, and almost before England was aware of it he became a power in the Moslem world and was getting concessions to build a railway in the valley of the Euphrates, which would have given him absolute control of a portion of the newest route to India. The kalser has insatiable passion for work, and nothing is too small for his attention. He can turn from the weightiest state paper to select a new model button for his guards, and from his weltpolitik to give the world of masculine fashion a new style of mustache; but, after all, the hand that used the curling iron showed no inability to wield the sword or hold the scepter. In some things he hardly seems to belong to modern times. He abominates the typewriter, and not only is one never allowed within his hearing, but no communication dare be sent to him for his perusal with which the typewriter has had anything to do. As a soldier the kaiser is an unknown quantity. He has never been on a battlefield in his life and in playing at war during his regular autumn maneuvers competent observers have held that his methods are medieval. A great French general said once that he would hope for nothing better if war came between France and Germany than that the kaiser should take supreme command of his army. Certain it is that in peace the kaiser has often had so many of the enemy and his own troops "killed" in sham fights that in real warfare not enough soldiers would have remained to bury the dead. The London Daily Telegraph's Rotterdam correspondent, in a dispatch filed, says: "How deadly was the task the Germans undertook in rebuilding the bridge over the river Meuse is shown by the Rotterdam Courant's correspondent at Maastricht. "A pontoon bridge, built by the Germans. he says, was shot away so that further troops could not cross it. The Twenty-fifth and Nineteenth German regiments, which supported the bridge builders, were mowed down by the quick-firing guns. A wounded Belgian was asked how the Germans had fared and replied in one word, 'annulilated." "The wounded who can be transported by rail are to be brought from the hospitals at Maastricht to Alkmaas." Another correspondent who visited the battlefields at Vise and Liege writes: "Not far from the little Dutch frontier village of Mesch, I passed the remains of a big German camp. Dead soldiers, civilians and horses and wagons, carts, automobiles and bicycles lay in confusion. Germans and Belgians lay side by side—evidence that there was fighting man to man. Houses had been sacked because the soldiers wished to avenge themselves on civilians who fired on them. "Civilians who did not fight are allowed to pass, but German guards refuse to allow this courtesy to Belgian civilians who were engaged in the battle. Poor wretches, they must wait where they lie, not daring to move, for they declare they will be shot at." German Officers Dispirited. "I met a party of German officers in an automobile. They held their revolvers in their hands and scrutinized me closely. They appeared to be displured because of the fact that twice during the last two days there had been a panic and German soldiers had fired on comrades by mistake. They asked me not to speak in the presence of the wounded. "After the constant fighting the soldiers were exhausted, but they lay by the side of their horses fully clothed, ready to be roused at a moment's notice." Morale of Prussians Broken. Telegraphing from Brussels, the correspondent of the London Daily Chronicle says of the fighting at Liege: "The Germans tried to overpower the forts by firing immense bodies of men against them in mass formation. The last Prussian assault on Boncelles reminded one of the early days of Port Arthur. The infantry melted away before the machine guns of the defenders. "The morale of the Prussians was entirely broken toward the end of the general attack. The casualties among the German officers were considerable. The attackers ran short of rifle ammunition. Wounded Germans declared they had had no food for two days." U. S. MERCHANT MARINE. National Foreign Trades Council Urges Action. The National Foreign Trades council at a special meeting in New York took measures for the relief of the congestion of foreign commerce due to the war. James A. Farrell, president of the United States Steel corporation and chairman of the council in opening the meeting laid stress on the seriousness of the situation and gave as the object of the relief measures the starting of exports to Europe. It was agreed that the council which consists of 25 national representative manufacturers, bankers, merchants, railroad and steamship men, collectively standing for the general interests of all elements engaged in or affected by foreign trade should work for national unity of action in setting American export and import trade free from the paralysis of transportation. The council decided to keep in daily touch with all its members in all parts of the United States and with the numerous commercial and industrial organizations which have telegraphed to it for information regarding shipping. Its object is to co-operate with every effective agency for the extension of American commerce Although the meeting was called at short notice, members came from every part of the United States James J. Hill promptly left St. Paul to attend the sessions, while Captain Robert Dollard, the San Francisco exporter, telegraphed that he was leaving San Francisco to join a committee of the council which will attend the conference of shipping and banking interests called by Secretary McAdoo to meet in Washington. A committee was appointed to recommended action to the council. The council passed resolutions urging the prompt passage of a bill pending in congress. EUGENIE'S REVENGE. French Empress Takes Vivid Interest In War. The aged French Empress Eugenie, who is at Bologne, takes a vivid interest in the war. When Count Pietri, her faithful companion in her long years of misfortune and exile, announced that fighting had begun her eyes shone and she cried: "This is my revenge. I have waited a long time. Were the emperor only here now! May God protect France!" Muskogee, Okla., August 17, 1914.—(Special.)—With a good attendance and well-laid plans for a successful session representatives of the Negro press throughout the United States comprising the National Negro Press Association, are in the city to-day. They are here for the annual association of newspaper men. The session will consume Monday and Tuesday of this week. An Executive Committee meeting was held this morning; Pres. John H. Murphy, Editor of the Afro-American Ledger, Baltimore, Md., presided by courtesy of Mr. N. B. Dodson, chairman of the executive Committee and editor of the Afro-American Page, of Brooklyn, N. Y., while Henry A. Boyd, Corresponding Secretary, assumed the duties of Recording Secretary of the Executive Committee meeting. Among the things taken up in the Executive Committee meeting and approved with recommendation to the Association proper, was the program for the present session and the recommendations that were brought over from the mid-winter session. It was stated to-day that the largest attendance in the history of the Association would be present at this meeting. The Corresponding Secretary reported a membership for the present year of one hundred and twenty eight, an increase of twenty-six over last year. The changes recommended to the Executive Committee by the Midwinter Session, which was held at Nashville, Tenn., will be the increase of the annual membership fee, so that it will cover the operating expense of the Association; the making of two classes or members so as to differentiate between publishers, editors, managers, correspondents and owners. Other matters of importance that will be taken up will be laid before the Association by the Committee on Code Service, composed of Joseph L. Jones, Editor of the Fraternal Monitor and one of the Vice-Presidents of the Association, and Henry A. Boyd, the Corresponding Secretary. This committee is at work preparing a cipher code book which will be placed in the hands of every member of the Association, enabling them to send important news items through cipher messages that can be interpreted only by members of the Association. Another committee to report will be the committee on advertising and plate service. This committee consists of W. E. King, Editor of the Dallas Express, Dallas, Tex.; B. J. Davis, Editor of the Louisiana Baptist, Alexandria, La., and R. H. Boyd, Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board and Business Manager of the National Baptist Union Review, Nashville, Tenn. It is understood that an elaborate type-written report setting, forth plans for feasibility of operating an up-to-date plate service, and for putting the advertising business on a paying and higher basis for all Negro publications, was submitted to and recommended for passage by the Executive Committee., A committee on boosting the organization composed of Melvin J. Chisum, Editor of the Tribune, Baltimore, Md.; A. N. Johnson, Editor of the Mobile Press, Mobile, Ala., and Joseph A. Booker, Editor of the Vanguard Little Rock, Ark., is also to report. The Corresponding Secretary's report was also submitted to the Executive Committee.

Nearly every state is represented; the program just adopted by the committee, which is being passed around in printed form. The Local Committee under the chairmanship of Mr. H. A. Clark, editor of the Wagoner American Wagoner, Okla., assisted by the newspaper men in the state and the citizens in general, have made arrangements for the entertainment of the "quill spushers" in the present session.

Copies of every journal published for, by, or in the interest of the race are on exhibition and will remain throughout the session. A deep interest is manifest in this display as many of the publishers and editors have not seen some of these publications. A Famous Paris Street. That wonderful street of shops in Paris known as the Rue de Rivoll was begun in 1802 and was named in honor of Napoleon's victory at Rivoll in 1797 during the Italian campaign. It was not finished, however, until 1865, during the reign of Napoleon III., to whom Paris is indebted for much of its grandeur.

Once he swam his horse across a river and stopped at a house near by to borrow a bucket. "I want to water my hoss down here at the river," he explained. On another occasion he approached a neighbor and surprised him with the offer of a trade. "I'd like to swap my three big pigs," he said, "for three little pigs." "What's that?" demanded the astonished neighbor. "Well, you see," answered the other, "my pigs have got too big for their pen." Let Me Paint That House and Save You Money!

They were leaning over the line fence, these ladylike neighbors, and they seemed to be having a heated argument. "How do you know it is so?" asked one lady. "I said it was so, didn't I?" the other came back coldly. "Uh-huh, you did. And I suppose it's your idea that whatever you say goes." "Well, if I say it to you it does—it goes all over town."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. All the Bank's Fault. Mrs. Barrows was worried. That fact was evident to her husband, although she endeavored to maintain a cheerful manner. Before the evening meal was over, however, he discovered the cause of her anxiety. "Will," said she. "I am very much afraid that my bank is in a bad way." "How foolish, Mabel! Don't let that cause you a moment's worry. Why, it's one of the strongest financial institutions in the state. Whatever got that idea into your head?" "Well, it's very strange." replied Mrs. Barrows, still unconvinced. "They've just returned a check of mine for $40 marked 'No funds.'"—Harper's Magazine. Proved His Bravery. One evening I was seated upon the crowded roof garden of the Palace hotel in Shanghai, safely within the international settlement, watching the fires which were numerous in the Chinese city and listening to the battle and a dissertation by an authoritative looking fellow guest in the hotel during which he had just made the statement that he could take the arsenal with a corporal's guard of his fellow nationals when a shell screamed close over our heads and burst in the public garden along the bund. Others followed it. We all bolted for the elevators, but the armchair tactician was the best sprinter and beat us all to it.—Bartlett G. Young in World's Work. After the Battle. A naval engagement with an odd sequel was the battle off Portland, Me., between the American ship Enterprise, 16 guns and 102 men, and the British ship Boxer, 14 guns and 100 men. The Enterprise was commanded by Lieutenant Burrows and the Boxer by Captain Blythe. The battle was on Sept. 4, 1S12, in the bay not far from Portland, and resulted in the capture of the Boxer, both commanders being killed. The two vessels were brought into Portland on Sept. 7. The bodies of the two commanders were rowed ashore by sailors of both ships and after a public funeral service were buried side by side in the village cemetery. Philadelphia Press. "Don't want any," said a housekeeper from her second story window to a street vender whose covered wagon was standing a few steps away and who had just pulled the bell. "Don't want any what?" gruffly asked the vender, who hadn't had even a chance to tell what his wares were. "What have you got?" asked the housekeeper, whose curiosity was getting the better of her annoyance. "Oh, never mind. You don't want any. Git up, Bob!" "Now, I wonder what that exasperating man is selling, anyhow!" she explained as the wagon disappeared around the corner.—Exchange. Ladies First. Here is a little story of the late Admiral Fremantle, told by Dr. Ernest Young in his book of travel sketches entitled "From Russia to Slam." When the steamer anchored off Canton the guides, as is their custom, boarded her at once. The admiral and his friends chose their guide and prepared to follow him. The admiral was about to descend the ladder and get into a native sampan when the guide pushed him back, saying: "Ladles first." "Oh, that doesn't matter," said the admiral. "I'm an old man." "Ole man!" quickly responded the Chinaman. "Ole man all more ought to know muchee better." East Side Grain Store O. T. MITCHELL, Proprietor 543 LIBERTY STREET, E. Phone 3521-J GEORGE GREEN FIRST-CLASS HORSESHOEING ive me a trial 56 WHEATON STREET West Broad Street THE death of Pope Pius X. was undoubtedly hastened by his anxiety and grief over the sit- he lay dying he expressed the opinion that God wished to spare him the horrors of the war all around him, whose echoes he could almost hear in Rome. Until hostilities actually commenced the pope did not believe that war could come between the nations involved, and he swooned when he heard that Germany had declared war upon Russia and realized that the conflagration had actually been kindled. Until he died he spent most of his time in praying for peace and shortly before his death issued an appeal to every Catholic throughout the world to pray for the war to cease. One the tenth day after the demise of a pope the cardinals assemble in the forenoon, and the preparations are made for the conclave. All the persons who are to remain in the conclave—as prelates, custodians, attendants on the cardinals, physicians, barbers, masons—are passed in review and take an oath not to speak even among themselves of matters concerning the election. Every avenue leading to the conclave, except the eight loopholes, P. is walled up by the masons, but one door is left so that it may be opened by the late coming cardinals or to let out any one who may be expelled or who for any good reason may be obliged to go out. One who leaves cannot return. This only door has a combination lock, to be opened by the key of the prince marshal outside and of the cardinal chamberlain inside. Genuine walls of masonry are constructed across all doors and passages, all telephones are taken out and both telephone and telegraph wires ripped out and cut into pieces. The Sistine chapel is transformed for the election. Upon the altar a vast arras, representing the descent of the Holy Ghost, is placed. A throne in front of the altar is reserved for the new pontiff. In the center of the chapel is a large table bearing two vases and one large covered chalice for the reception of ballots. Before each cardinal's throne is a small table with ink, paper and sealing wax. To the left of the entrance is a stove with a pipe leading out of a window. In this stove the unsuccessful ballots are burned with damp straw. The escaping black smoke signifies to the public and the watchers outside the chapel that no choice has been made. When the decisive ballot is taken the papers are burned with dry straw, and the light smoke indicates that a pope has been elected. When the first ballot is taken the violet robed prelates enter the chapel two by two, walking slowly, each to his canopied seat, or throne, as it is technically designated. Under the new order proclaimed by Plus X. the members of the conclave vote four times daily. This is to prevent a long delay in electing a successor. Also a decree of the late pope abrogates the veto power of any monarch upon any candidate put forward. When the tellers read the votes on the final ballot those nearest the fortunate cardinal whisper their congratulations. The result is then verified, and the president of the conclave asks the pope elect if he accepts the office. The acceptance being duly recorded, the pope is asked, "What title do you adopt?" Immediately following the nomination of the new pope the other cardinals lower the canopies above their respective seats, and the pope retires to assume the pontifical robes of white. His holiness then returns to occupy the throne in front of the altar. As soon as he has seated himself his former colleagues, led by the president of the conclave, come in turn before the throne and swear their fealty and allegiance to the new pope. A few moments later the news is proclaimed to the world. The coronafion usually takes place a few days after the election.

"I suppose that most people," said a barber, "would consider plying the shears and razor as comparatively easy work; they would not expect to find barbers men of muscle. "The fact is that standing all day and even in the easier parts of his work using his arms all day in various positions the barber keeps his muscles in constant exercise, while in such operations as shampooing and massage he is called upon for the exertion of downright strength. "He may not have the muscle of a man always in strict training, but I think you would find that, as a rule, the barber is no weakling."-New York Sun.

LATEST STYLE SILVER CARRIAGE FOR HIRE 605 WEST BROAD STREET Johnson Undertake COMBINE The Royall Under (Incorp Appeal of the Hymn. What constitutes the appeal of the popular hymn? "Pilgrims of the Night." by Father Faber, has been as popular as any hymn of the past century, and one has to confess to a lump in the throat when it is sung. Nor is it merely on the sentimentally inclined that the hymn has effect. Froude records overhearing it in Hyde park one Sunday evening, when Carlyle, with deep emotion, bade him come away, as he could never hear those words without desiring to weep. Yet I have still to meet the person who can give a clear interpretation of what is meant by Faber's appealing lines—London Chronicle. Had to Stop. "Why have you stopped drinking coffee?"

The neck is so short and the legs are so long that the animal usually kneels in eating grass. True, it does not attempt it very often, for grass is by no means a staple with it, but even a moose likes a change of diet. The appearance of this huge and awkward creature in this devotional attitude is not only interesting, but really laughable.—St. Nicholas. the business league of our city went to Muskogee and said to Dr.Booker T. Washington, Hon. Emmett J. Scott and to the Hon. Ralph W. Tylor and others, we should have, yea, we must have in connection with our National Negro Business League, a Negro Real Estate Department. It goes without saying that his suggestion met the hearty approval of those pioneer Negro business giants, and that Mr. Bowen, yea, our own G. H. Bowen was elected as its first president. Hurrah! for Bowen, three cheers for the local branch of the Negro business league, which meets the first Wednesday and third Friday evenings of each month, joining fee $1.00 and 25 cents per month for dues. New home, the Wage Earners Bank Building. Be on time with some new thoughts. A public meeting will be held at St. Paul C. M. E. Church on Thursday evening, September 3, At which time and place Mr. Bowen will tell us in his own way of his impressions of the south west and of the National Negro Business League in general. In our letter of last week, we called your attention to the would be "Smart Man" who wanted to know from us how he was to be helped materially by connecting himself with the business men in the community, in trying to furnish more and better places of employment for this army of young men and women who are coming from the various schools and colleges from year to year. In commenting on this part of our letter, one gentleman said, that narrowness, littleness and down-right selfishness were some of the basic draw backs which confronted the average Negro in his business crisis, and in many cases, had proven to be a body of death about his business neck. We, as the child race in this country, have not the time, and, indeed the thoughtful element among us have not the disposition to find fault and register groundless complaints against each other, as to invidious comparisons with those of other races who have had hundreds, yea, thousands of years of civilization and training in business. Therefore, when we take into account that many of our people have been taught to mistrust and doubt the ability of the men and women in business to carry out their agreements, and when we can find loyal members of the race who, in spite of such teaching and giving to their own kith and kind the lion's share of their patronage, then, we should rise up and say, in one voice, and in thunderous tones, "Surely the Negro is coming into his own." An Appeal to the Young Men of the Race The weekly meeting of the Republican Progressive Club is held each Tuesday night for the purpose of getting men to pay their taxes. To be loyal citizens our men should pay their taxes; to be qualified voters men should pay their tax; it is only required that ($1:00) one dollar a year be paid as a good citizen. It is better to pay your tax voluntarily than wait until you are made to do so. Come and join the Republican Progressive club which meets Tuesday night, September 1st at 817 West Broad street. There are always honors and dollars in reserve for the broad square, liberal minded, big hearted, public spirited business man, be he white, black or what not. As a proof of this statement, permit us to call your attention to one of our local business men, yea, a live wire too, who was willing to make the sacrifice and lose the time away form his lucrative business, which business is absolutely dependent upon the guiding hand of a level headed genius in this particular line. We refer to our honored townman, Mr. G. H. Bowen, who represented the interest of the local Negro business league of this city, of which he is a valued member, before the National Negro Business League in the city of Muskogee, Okla. L.L. James, Jr., president first district branch. St. Paul Church Last week was indeed a great one with St. Paul C. M. E. church. The anniversary exercises were rich with good expressions coming from the different members of the church. The paspurposed a general discussion for siz nights, "How to make the church go and grow; and what am I willing to do?" This subject swept over the entire membership. They discussed it for six nights for forty minutes. Each member was given 4 minutes and well did they volunteer to put in a word. The two Sunday schools, Asbury and Palen, with pastors and teachers gave a very helpful program Sunday afternoon. Sunday night closed the program. Among the contributors other than our regular members were: Mrs. M. Philips Styles of Milledgeville, Miss Ruth Irwin, Holy Springs, Miss., and Mrs. H. Blair of this city. This plain and practical business man, carried to the National Negro Business League something worth while, and as a natural consequence, he got in return something worth while.
