VOLUME XXIX ODD FELLOWS B. M. C. TO MEET AT BOSTON MASS., SEPT. FOURTEENTH Grand Master E. H. Morris to Preside—A Large Delegation To be in attendance—Bitter Fight for Grand Master to be Waged—Georgia Delegation to Leave Next Friday—Savannah To be Well Represented. The 17th B. M. C. of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows will convene in Boston, Mass., on September 14 with about six thousand members of the order in attendance. The sessions will be held in People's Temple and will be opened on Monday morning at ten o'clock by Grand Master Edward H. Morris, at which time the public exercises will be held. Several social features have been arranged among which will be an elaborate reception and banquet on Thursday night. From present indications the sessions will be very spirited. Many propositions that will come up will be bitterly fought by both sides. There is no doubt that there will be two factions in action;one led by Henry Lincoln Johnson and B. J. Davis and the other by Grand Master Morris and H. P. Slaughter. There is much speculation as to the office of Grand Master, which will be the center figure at the convention. The present Grand Master, Edward H. Morris is up for re-election and is being opposed by Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson. The Georgia delegation is lined up with Col. Johnson and the outlook is that he will get most of the support. Along with Georgia there are several other states that have strongly endorsed Johnson's candidacy. Odd Fellows throughout the country are aroused and much interest is being centered in the approaching convention. It is expected that the election of a Grand Master will be a hot one as both the Morris and Johnson factions are putting forth every effort to elect their candidate. The arrangements for the moving of the Georgia delegation on to Boston are all completed and everything is ready for the start. The Atlanta train bearing the North Georgia delegates will leave Atlanta on next Friday night, joining the Savannah delegation at Charlotte, N. C. There will be about five hundred delegates from Georgia, besides many other members of the order that will take in the meeting. The train carrying the Savannah delegation will leave here on next Friday at 12:10 central time over the Southern Railroad, and every possible arrangement has been made for the comfort of those who expect to make the trip. There will be several persons from out of town that will leave here with the delegation. Those from the city who will leave over the Southern Railroad are Mrs. F. D. Armstrong, Mrs. R. L. Barnes, Mrs. R. Ethel Cain. Mrs. Julia Ward, C. W. Alexander, E. A. Fields, Julian Smith, W. E. Searles, Thomas Hurd, M. W. Swayne, R. W. Williams, E. M. Simmons, W. O. P. Sherman, P. E.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH, 1914 Tuskegee Man Wins Many Contests RECEIVES FIRST PRIZE OF $500 Leads all American Writers and Takes Prize—Has Been winner In Some Twenty Odd Contests. "Everybody's Magazine" for September, 1914, published in New York City, contains the announcement that its First Prize of Five Hundred Dollars ($500) for the best letter on the subject—"What We've Learned About Rum, or Rum and Remedies," has been awarded to Isaac Fisher, formerly of Vicksburg, Mississippi, but now of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. Of his essay, the Editors of "Everybody's Magazine" write as follows: The article below is selected by us from some 9,600 letters as the best all-round discussion of Rum. Certain other letters have presented more extensive scientific analysis, but have confined the discussion to particular phases. Others have been brilliant in literary quality, but lacking in logical progression and care in the statement of facts. The letter below (Mr. Fisher's) sums up the facts about Rum with admirable comprehensiveness and a telling directness of style, and offers some remarkably sane suggestions." What will send a thrill of pride through the hearts of all colored people, beneath the flags of many nations, is the fact that Isaac Fisher is a Negro; and every colored man, woman and child may proudly say: "He is one of us." If any man in America deserves the title, "Doctor of Philosophy," it is this man; because he has done, again and again, more work in the philosophic exposition of economic questions of world-wide importance than any university has ever required of a candidate for the doctorate. His past record fully bears out this statement. Without even mentioning a large number of contests in which he has been winner and in which the prizes were less than ten dollars, this man, a Negro, a Tuskegee graduate, in nation wide contests with the best brains in America, of all races, has been prize winner some twenty or more times, and he has won on the following subjects, either one of which contains original work of the quality—higher than the quality—of the theses required by American universities from candidates seeking the degree of Doctor of Philosophy: 1 What we've Learned About the Rum Question. $500 2 German and American Methods of Regulating Trusts. $400 (Alone and unaided, Mr. Fisher had to master in a few months sufficient reading knowledge of German to be able to write this essay.) 3 Ten Best Reasons Why People Should Go to Missouri, $100 4 A Plan to Give the South a System of Highways Suited to Its Needs, $100. 5 Scales and the Housewife, $50 6 Digest of the Uses of adding Machines, $50 7 The relation Between Manual Training in the Public Schools and Industrial Education and Efficiency, $10 8 The most practicable Method of Beginning a Reduction of the Tariff Honorable, Mention (This essay was, upon the request of its Chief Examiner, sent to the United States Tariff Board for its uses.) These are only the Big Essays Mr. Fisher has written. At the recent meeting of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, in Toronto, Canada, Mr. Fisher's paper on "Advertising and Selling" was selected by the committee on awards as one of the "Forty-nine Best on the Subject," thereby giving him a winning place in the first international contest he has entered. Tuskegee Institute. his alma mater, is passing proud of him and his record. He is one of her most loyal sons and nothing seems to give him greater pleasure than to say that he owes every thing to Tuskegee. He has studied in no Successor to Pope Pius X Chosen DELLA CHIESA WILL BE KNOWN AS BENEDICT XV New Pope Much Aversed to The Way Many of the Modern Dances are Interpretated. The Sacred College of Cardinals which has been in session at Rome Italy, since August 31st to choose a successor to the late Pope Pius X of the Roman Catholic Church, elected Cardinal Della Chiesa, an arch-bishop of Bologna on Thursday as head of the Papacy. The new pope was born Nov. 21, 1884 and was ordained a priest Dec. 21 1878. He served as secretary of the noniciature in Spain 1881 to 1887 in which year he was appointed secretary to the late Cardinal Rampolla. He was appointed substitute secretary of state in 1901 and 1907 was elected to the post of advisor to the holy office. He is a man of great spiritual character and one of the most highly esteemed in the hierarchy. He is above the average height of stocky build and rather quiet and reserved manner. He is known to be very much aversed to the tango, upon which he issued a pastoral letter in January 1914. Medical Association Holds Interesting Meeting The South Atlantic Medical association held an interesting meeting Thursday night at the office of Dr. F. S. Belcher. The meeting was largely attended, the main feature being a paper on typhoid fever by Dr. F. S. Belcher. The next meeting of the association will be held at the office of Dr. P. E. Love. A Crack-a-Jack Boxing Match The boxing match held at the Liberty theatre last Wednesday night was beyond a doubt an exhibition which was well worth the price of admission. The two preliminary bouts were fast and the youngsters taking part in them afforded the spectators many thrills. The semi-final between Battling Adams of this city and Chicago Kid was one of the fastest bouts seen here for some time, the local boy knocking his opponent out in the fifth round by a stiff upper cut to the jaw. The main bout between Hock Bones and Kyle Whitney was the classiest fight Savannahians have witnessed in recent years. Of the two Whitney seemed the stronger while Hock Bones was the faster. The ten rounds fought by these two afforded the four hundred and fifty fans a beautiful contest and the final decision of a draw met general approval. other school. It may be that the race has not fully realize the real significance of what Mr. Fisher is doing for the race in his own way and line. In verity he is blazing a broad trail for us all in a direction and with a success not true of any other colored person; and he is a master in his line. No question, however taxing to the Americans statesman or publicist, seems too difficult for him and the thing which makes glad the hearts of every loyal Negro is that however eminent and learned the other competitors and writers, when Mr. Fisher, working under his famous motto, used with telling effect in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Essay and in the Essay on Run—"Get the Truth,"—turns his mind to the analysis of a question, judges who do not know his race almost invariably place the results of his investigations, hisessays, his philosophy at the head of all those who compete. What the colored people want Isaac Fisher to do now is to prepare some books for end about the Negro—some enduring works that the colored children may read and be helped; some deathless classic that will inspire the race through all times. He is at present editing the Negro Farmer here at Tuskégee Institute. NEGRO RUNNER REFUSES BIG OFFER Turns Down $4,000 and Remains Amateur Another indication that all is not gloom in England because of the war may be found in the report that Howard Drew, the colored sprinter, has been offered the sum of $4,000 to run one race in that country as a professional. The Springfield boy is said to have refused this tempting offer and expressed his intention of remaining permanently in the amateur ranks. This big offer to Drew was made, according to the report circulated here, by an English sports promoter, who said he considered the colored runner's name worth that sum as a drawing card. Such an offer goes to prove that despite the war athletics are still very, much alive in England and that those in close touch with the situation are confident that the war will have little effect on sport. The promoters must necessarily have planned for an immense crowd when they could afford to make Drew such a splendid offer. It was feared at first by American athletes that Drew might accept this offer, as he has had considerable trouble lately with the Amateur Athletic Union, but Drew says that he would not go in for professionalism at any price. Boone—Daniels The marriage of Miss Hattie Mae Boone, of Brunswick, Ga., and Mr. Augustus Williams Daniels, of Jacksonville, Fla., took place Wednesday in Brunswick at the home of the bride's aunt, Mrs. Moore. Miss Janie Belle Daniels of Greenville, Ga. sister of the groom, was brides maid. Mr. Miles Menton, of Jacksonville, acted as best man. Father Thompson of St. Athanasius Episcopal Church performed the ceremony. The bride was beautifully gowned in a dress of white crepe meteor, with Russian tunice of accordian pleated chiffon. The waist was accordian pleated chiffon with a coat effect of brocaded chiffon, the figures being outlined with pearls. The waist and skirt were joined, with a butterfly girdle with white chiffon, trimmed with a beaded pearl buckle and pearl tassels. The veil was skirt length with a wreath of orange blossoms. The brides maid wore a dress of white imbroidered silk net. The skirt was made Russian tunic, the tuic being caught at one side with a bunch of pink silk roses. The awist was made surplus effect, being joined to the skirt with a crushed girdle of white satin. The bride and brides maid carried a large boquet of white astor and ferns. The ceremony was performed at 2 o'clock p.m. after which light refreshments were served and the bridal party left via the Seaboard at 4:10 p. m., for Jacksonville. The bride and groom will be domiciled at 1662 West Ashley street. The bride's traveling suit was of a greenish yellow silk poplin with an over skirt and cutaway coat of brocaded popein the same color a cord of pink velvet outlined the neck and front of the coat. From the collar a black beaded tassel fell. The coat was fastened with black buttons. The hat was of leghorn lined with pink satin and trimmed in pink roses and black velvet.

NUMBER 50 LABOR DAY TO BE CELEBRATED UNIONS NOT TO HAVE USUAL DEMONSTRATIONS First Motorcycle Races Ever Held by Negroes to be Run at Woodlawn Park—Picnics at all Amusement Resorts—Several Entertainments at Night—Pekin Theater will have Special Program for Patrons. As usual, Labor day will be widely celebrated in this city on next Monday and much preparation has been made for the entertainment of the crowds that will go out to the amusement parks, all of which, no doubt will be largely patronized. The various labor unions of the city will not hold their usual Labor day demonstration as the members have found these parades rather expensive and do not feel that they can afford to spare the money to make sufficient preparation for them this year. Aside from the expense attached to the celebration, many of the men prefer spending the day quietly with their families. The Pekin theater is preparing for their usual large holiday crowds and Manager Stiles will put on one of the best shows seen at the house this year. Several new, performers have been booked for next week. At Woodlawn park the Chatham Cycle club will hold interesting motorcycle and bicycle races and the affair is attracting considerable attention since it will probably be the first motorcycle races ever pulled off by a Negro Motorcycle club. There will be a fifty mile and two ten mile races for motorcycles and several bicycle events. Much preparation has been made for the races and the boys have all got their machines tuned up for the affair. Prizes of considerable amounts will be given to winners. The entries for the motorcycle races, which will be run on the county roads finishing in front of Woodlawn park on Ferguson Avenue, are as follows: Thor team—Jos. Butler, William Butler, A. Baker, T. J. Carter. Harley team—Jonnie Doyle, Perkins Meynard, S. W. Hall, Josh Pitts. Excelsior team—Herbert Herd, Hamp Roberts, James Woodvill, F. Smith. Indian team—Harry Black, Tom Reynolds, Julius Johnson, Thad Middleton. Merkle team—F. D. Tucker, T. S. Beaton, Frank Smith, Wm. Johnson. Deaths Mr. Arthur Thomas, the brother of Mrs. Henry B. Wright, after a short illness died on Saturday morning and was buried from her residence, 756 Gwinnett street, east, Rev. Daniel Wright officiating. Mr. Thomas is survived by two sisters, Miss Fanny Thomas of Macon, Ga., and Mrs. Henry B. Wright of this city; two brothers, Mr. Edward Thomas and Mr. Alphonso Thomas. Mr. Thomas H. Anderson after an illness of only three days, died on last Monday morning at his late residence, West-56th street. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon. He was a native of this city and well known. He was a contractor and carpenter and up to the time of his death was associated in business with Mr. T. J. Carter. Quite a large number of friends attended the funeral and the floral designs were beautiful. He was a member of several organizations which were out in a body. He is survived by a wife, and other relatives. Second Baptist Church. On last Sunday, the services were conducted at both hours in a creditable way by Rev. L. J. Biggins, a son and licentiate of the church. To morrow, Rev. J. L. Taylor, rector of St. Stephen's church, who has endearcd himself to the people of Savannah since coming in our'midst, will preach at eleven a. m. and eight p. m. 'SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson X.—Third Quarter, For Sept. 6, 1914 THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Mark xii, 28-34, 41-44—Memory Verses, 29-31—Golden Text, Luke x, 27—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This lesson consists of three parts—the question of the scribe whom Matthew calls a lawyer, Christ's great question and the record of the widow's two mites. The first is recorded by Matthew and Mark, the second by Matthew, Mark and Luke and the third by Matthew and Luke. Having answered and put to silence the Pharisees, Herodians and Sadducees, He is now approached by one of the Pharisees, who was a scribe well acquainted with the law. His question is, "Which is the great commandment in the law?" or "Which is the first commandment of all?" Here was another tempter, and yet the Lord graciously condescended to answer him. If one came to us in the same spirit and we knew it, would we be gracious enough to make reply? Our Lord left us an example to follow Him in all things. He meekly replied to this critic, quoting from Deut. vi, 4; Lev. xix, 18, the summary of the Ten Commandments, which His own hand had written twice on the tables of stone, that the righteousness which is required of us is to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and our neighbor as ourselves, adding, according to Matt. xxll, 40, "On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." The scribe confessed that He had answered well and said that to do this was more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices, to which Jesus replied, "Thou art not far from the kingdom of God." The scribe saw more clearly than most of his fellows that God looked for a right heart rather than anything merely outward. He understood the words of Isa. 1, 10-15, and all similar words concerning the abomination that Israel's sacrifices were to the Lord because it was all mere form, all outward, without a thought of the forgiveness of their sins or their need of it. In the first sacrifice ever seen on earth man gave God nothing, had no hand in it at all. The Lord Himself did all and provided freely the redemption clothing that man needed (Gen. ill. 21). The law of God, which is so holy and just and good that man cannot keep it and which has been kept perfectly only by Jesus Christ, who is the true ark of the covenant and the mercy seat, is always intended to lead us to Christ, who is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth (Rom. x, 3, 4; xiii, 10). The great and all important question is not what we should do or should not do, what we know or do not know, but what is Jesus Christ to us, what think ye of Christ (Matt. xxii, 42). To these Jews who expected a Messiah, a son of David, but who did not understand the prophecies concerning Him and that He was to be truly a man and yet truly God in one person, the question as to how the Messiah could be David's son and also David's Lord was what might be called a poser for them. According to Matt. xxii, 42, He asked them, "What think ye of Christ?" (or the Messiah). "Whose son is He?" They replied, "The son of David." Then came the difficult question for them, "How doth David in the Spirit, in the book of Psalms, call Him Lord, saying, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand till I make thine enemies thy footstool?" (Ps. ex, 1.) Jesus Himself answers the question. In John xvi, 28, He said, "I came forth from the Father and am come into the world." As Mimpriss says in his harmony, the question can only be answered aright as recognizing the fact that Christ proceeded forth and came from His Father in heaven, and thus is David's Lord, while, as being man, He was "of the house and lineage of David" and so was David's son. In Him were united the divine and human natures (John i, 1-14; I John i, 1, 2). One of the very last titles that He gives Himself in the New Testament is "the root and the offspring of David" (Rev. xxii, 16). David came from Him as His Lord, and as man He came from David. He is the Son of Man, Inheriting all things, and He is to sit on David's throne (Luke i, 31-33). Personally I am comforted by the fact that as perfect man He knows me thoroughly, and as God He is able to save, to keep and to present me faultless because I have accepted Him as My Saviour. He had taught them to beware of Pharisees, Sadducees and Herodians, and now He says, "Beware of the scribes," mentioning their desire for praise of men, their seeming religiousness and at the same time their oppression of poor widows whose offering of as little as two mites sometimes counted more in His sight than the abundance of many rich people. The poor widow of our lesson cast in all that she had, even all her living. This drew her very near to Him. When any one says "This is the widow's mite" as they give some trifle to the Lord, say as kindly as possible, "Make it two, or do not mention it, and do not compare it with the Bible story unless it is all you have."

The Truly Reticent Woman. 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 conversationist had all sorts of unspoken things in her mind.-Exchange. 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. *Juvenile Wisdom.

[Picture of a man in military uniform]. Soft Drinks, Railroad and Theater Tickets May Be Taxed. A stamp tax on soft drinks, as well as beer and patent medicines, is contemplated by members of the house ways and means committee, which is preparing an emergency internal revenue bill to offset treasury losses due to curtailment of imports. It is urged that soft drinks are as much luxuries as wines or beer and that an equitable distribution would be accomplished by this plan. Another suggestion is a stamp tax of 5 to 10 per cent on railroad tickets and admission to theaters, baseball parks and other licensed amusements. It is estimated that from $50,000,000 to $80,000,000 could be raised in this way. The committee has not yet determined upon a complete taxation plan, but purposes to hasten its deliberations so a bill may be introduced soon after President Wilson addresses congress on the subject, which probably will be immediately upon his return from New Hampshire. Administration leaders are impressed with the necessity of quick action in order to disturb conditions at little as possible. A doubling of the present tax on beer, it is estimated by treasury experts, would produce $65,000,000. Some committee members, however, feel that taxation of commodities other than beer and patent medicines would cause less popular friction. Among the committee Democrats there has been some opposition to any war tax at all at this session, the contention being that there is plenty of available money for present needs. AMERICAN TRADE United States Does Business of $1,303,000,000. Trade of the United States with other American countries in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1914, aggregated $1,303,000,000, and constituted 30 per cent of the entire commerce handled by domestic ports. Of this New World commerce, $956,000,000 was with North America, and $317,000,000 with South America. Imports from North American countries, valued at $427,000,000, were chiefly from Canada, Cuba, Mexico and Central American states, and the British West Indies. Exports to North American countries, $529,000,000, were chiefly to Canada, $345,000,000; Cuba, $69,000,000; and Central America and Mexico, each about $29,000,000. The United States supplies in the use of Canada, Central America and Cuba, more than all other parts of the world combined. BRITISH CHECK GERMANS. English Held Line Until Reinforced and Then Retired. Seventy thousand British troops for three days held in check two hundred thousand German troops until relieved by French reinforcements, according to information received at Washington through neutral diplomats. The advices did not give the place of the battle. Although the German forces broke through the British lines in many places, the English held their own until French reinforcements arrived, and then retired in good order. Military experts of the allied forces were reported to have been greatly encouraged by the manner in which the British forces withstood the superior forces of the enemy. The information came from Paris through diplomatic sources. $6,000 For M. E. College. The campaign that has been conducted in the Huntsville Methodist district during the months of July and August for subscriptions to the fund being raised for the Birmingham Methodist college closed and Rev. J. B. Cumming, financial agent of the college, who has been conducting the campaign, left for Talladega, where he will remain several weeks. Mr. Cumming states that about $6,000 in subscriptions were secured at Huntsville, Ala. German troops are reported as taking the offensive in Belgian Congo. A dispatch from Tien-Tsin says Japanese troops have been landed at several points on the coast near Kiao-Chow. The Norwegian steamer Gottfried has been blown up in the North sea by a floating mine. Eight members of her crew lost their lives. It is stated that British marines have occupied Ostend to prevent the Germans from getting a foothold on the English channel. A British official statement says that of the 1,200 men comprising the crews of the five German warships sunk off Heligoland, only 330 were saved. A Berlin dispatch says the German army is energetically pressing the Russians in the neighborhood of Allenstein, East Prussia. Secretary of State Bryan announced that Frederick Palmer, the American war correspondent, had been selected by the press associations of the United States to act as general press representative.with the British army. The United States has informed the powers of Europe of its intention to send the armored cruiser North Carolina to Turkey to carry gold for the relief of Americans, according to an announcement by the state department. President Wilson issued a proclamation of neutrality recognizing- that "a state of war unhappily exists between Japan and Austria-Hungary." It is similar to other proclamations previously issued. Because of the non-payment of the war levy of $40,000,000 the Germans, it is said, threaten to seize the famous pictures and objects of art in the Brussels museums. The Russian military attache at Paris is credited with the statement that additional Russian armies are about to invade western Prussia with the intention of marching on Berlin. The situation is becoming more serious throughout the whole Balkan peninsula. All the Balkan states are getting ready to take part in the European conflict. The crews of destroyers which have arrived in London say that at least eleven German vessels of various sizes were sunk in the engagement off Heligoland. The French war office gave out the following official statement: "The Russian army has completely invested Konigsberg, and occupied Allenstein, both in East Prussia." The French ministry of war announces that it has been decided to call out the class of 1914, which will give at least 200,000 additional troops, and also to call out the active reserve and the oldest classes of the territorial reserve. The British official bureau repeats its statement that England has laid no mines in the North sea and adds: "England, therefore, cannot be charged with any injury up to the present caused by mine laying." It is officially announced from Paris that the military governor has ordered all residents of the zone within action of the city's defending forts to evacuate and destroy their houses within four days from August 30. The London Chronicle's Boulogne correspondent sends the personal story of a wounded soldier who has arrived there and who declared he was one of thirty survivors of a British company of 2,000 troops who were practically wiped out by the German artillery. Refugees from the scene of fighting around Mons report that airmen took a prominent part in directing the German artillery, says the London Times correspondent in Paris. Aeroplanes hovered over the British position and their pilots signaled the German batteries by means of a disc swung at the end of a line. A London Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Rome says a St. Petersburg message states it is officially admitted in the Russian capital that $8,000,000 men have been mobilized. These forces have been divided into four armies which are being sent into the field one after the other. A London Central News dispatch from Amsterdam says the Germans are demanding a war contribution of $90,000,000 from Brabant Province in Belgium. Ten German soldiers who wantonly shot the wife of a Belgian burgomaster have been executed at Liege, according to an Amsterdam dispatch to the London Chronicle. BIG SHIP SUNK. Kaiser 'Wilhelm der Grosse Victim of British Guns. Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, announced the sinking of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse in the house of commons. He said: "The admiralty has received intelligence that the German armed merchant cruiser Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, of 14,000 tons and armed with ten 4-inch guns, has been surged by the H. M. S. High Flyer, off the west coast of Africa. "This is the vessel which has been interfering with traffic between this country and the cape and is one of the very few German armed auxiliary cruisers which succeeded in getting to sea. The survivors were landed before the vessel sank. The High Flyer had one killed and one wounded." Bibles For British Troops. British naval and military associations are delivering Bibles to every man in the army and navy. They bear the following inscription written by Lord Roberts: "I ask you to put your trust in God. He will watch over you and strengthen you. You will find in this little book guidance when you are in health, comfort when you are in sickness and strength when you are in adversities." The Terrible Zeppelin, Hope of Germany In Present Contest THE bombs that fell on Antwerp from a German Zeppelin stealing over the city during the night have awakened echoes all over the civilized world. It has been denounced by many as a crime against humanity, and it promises to become a matter of the widest international consideration. The Belgian authorities assert that the attack was a clear violation of article 26 of the fourth Hague convention, and they have protested officially against this manner of warfare. Germans assert they have a perfect right to use the Zeppelins. The Zeppelin undoubtedly has added a new terror and horror to warfare. And all cities, especially capitals of countries engaged in the warfare, may well tremble when they consider the feaul danger from this terrible engine of destruction. Every German has absolute faith that the great Zeppelins are going to decide the fate of the war. The English, too, now that Germany has advanced toward the North sea through Belgium, are in fear of a raid by these unproved giants of the air. The Zeppelins are admittedly superior to all other dirigibles, but what they can do aside from scouting is yet to be fully demonstrated. Germany is confident that her great ships of the air will be an important factor in destroying the superior sea fleet of Great Britain. In the daytime the huge bulk of the Zeppelins makes them an easy target, but at night it is different, and if they can evade the searchlights of the enemy it is possible, the Germans believe, that they can do incalculable damage. Harry E. Tudor, an English aviation expert, has this to say: "In my own opinion it will be the Zeppelin that will open up a new and terrible era. In the history of night war- ```markdown ``` GERMAN ZEPPELEN BEGINNING ITS FLIGHT. fare, carrying destruction in a form hitherto undreamed of and beyond all realization in its terrors. "Coincident with the advance of the building of air craft, so has advanced the construction of the aeroplane gun capable of carrying an enormous distance and highly flexible in its operation to follow the course of an aerial machine just as easily as an expert sportsman can follow the flight of a bird before the pressure of bls trigger at the right moment. The shooting down of aeroplanes is but piggon shooting in excelsis. "This tact places the daynight use of Zeppelin of less advantage than of their utility in night work, but in the darkness of night one of these colossal realizations of the dreams of Jules Verne could, silently and unseen, sail over a fleet of warships or a sleeping army corps, adopt a 'line' of bomb dropping in a slow movement, steering in line or circle, and result in greater havoc and losses than any other form of fighting could possibly accomplish. Add to this the fearful demoralization that would follow the assault by so fearsome and unseen an enemy and some, though faint, idea could be acquired of this revelation of the advance of civilization and science. "To define matters even clearer, a Zeppelin could leave its base, whether inland or near a seaport, and, by the use of distance barographs could be guided precisely over a fleet or an encamped army. Powerful searchlights flashed downward, even but momentarily, and the aid of highly powered blnoculars would show the bomb droppers the best course and points for their dendly work, and a timing of the dropping of a series of bombs could but only result in an annihilation of fleets or entire armies long before anything could be done with aeroplane guns to cut short the devastation." That is why London is lying awake of nights, fearing to hear the crashes which will tell it that the long gray air monsters have slipped across the sea and that while England holds donation on the waters the Germans hold the mastery of the air. It is the reason, too, that the Belgian aviators have formed a "league of death," swearing to give their lives in ramming a Zeppelin and bringing it and its crew down with themselves to death.

JOHNSON Editor and Proprietor Published Every Saturday 1000 WEST BROAD STREET Phone 2171 Saturday, September 5, 1914 The declaration of Judge Nat E. Harris, who was unanimously nominated at the democratic convention in Macon on Tuesday, that he would be governor of all Georgia and that he would serve all the people alike, rang true of the estimable gentleman that he is, gives to all Georgians alike the assurance that so far as he is concerned his administration will be one of fairness and impartiality. Of particular interest to the Negroes was his assurance that he sympathizes with us and will endeavor to be just to us in all his dealings. We are a part and parcel of the citizenry of Georgia and it is with much gratification that we note in the following paragraph of his speech the particularly kindly, regard and sympathetic feeling that Judge Harris has for us: "I stand before you today, one of the last of the old regime, which reaches back to ante-bellum days. My father was a slaveholder and I was brought up on the farm of typical colored "mammy." I have therefore, sympathy for the colored race and I shall try to be just to them as long as they shall endeavor to advance them-elves in their own proper sphere, joining with their white friends to push forward this mighty state on its course of mental, moral and material development." The recent appeal which has gone forth from the Baptist Ministers' Union requesting all pastors in the vicinity to preach special sermons to mothers on the first Sunday in September, dealing with some of the most popular evils, such as vulgar dancing, night walking, gambling and the like which are ruining both the physical and moral lives of many of the young people of our community, can but meet the unconditional approval of each and every one of us who may be interested in the proper rearing of our young people. That there is need for some concerted action to be taken relative to the checking of such evils that are sapping the very lives out of our young people there can be no doubt. Already these evils have been altogether too general. Something must be done to check them at least. This can only be done by concerted action on the part of the moral leaders and parents of our young people. If the proper effort is put forth by both the leaders and the parents, we believe that much good will be done toward eradicating these evils which are now so prevalent among us. From time to time, it has been the policy of Of The Tribune to wage a ceaseless war against these evils. It is indeed gratifying to us to note that public sentiment is crystallizing against them. The Baptist Ministers' Union has made a step in the right direction. It is asking for and needs the co-operation of all of us if its efforts are to avail anything in the direction named. Let all of us, parents and friends alike, lend a helping hand in beginning on next Sunday a war against these evils, that will not stop short of success. The Negroes of our city and especially the members of the local branch of the National Negro Business League have cause for much rejoicing in the election of our hustling fellow townsman, Mr.G.H.Bowen, to the presidency of the department of real estate dealers of the national body. This honor, coming as it does from the leading real estate dealers of the country, is altogether a wellearned one, for, in our opinion, no man connected with the real estate department is more deserving of such a compliment than Mr. Bowen. Coming to our city some three years ago, unhearalded and almost unknown, he cast his lot with us as one of our business men. From the very beginning of his business career among us, he gave unfailing signs of honesty, promptness and reliability in all of his transactions. And during these three years of his residence here, he has shown at every turn, his trustworthiness and reliability as a first class business man. As a result, the people of the city have grown to have an abiding faith and confidence in "Bowen, the real estate dealer," which is indeed far from being superficial. To be able to put through real estate deals aggregating in the neighborhood of three hundred thousand dollars, in the short space of three years, is no mean accomplishment for any one, yet, such has been the result of the efforts of Mr. Bowen since his advent to our city. The success which has come to this individual ought to serve both as an example and an inspiration to those of our people who are now and who will be engaged in business. Starting out, as we have aforesaid, almost unheard of and unheralded, he began through honest and reliable dealings, to work up a respectable clientage for himself. And he succeeded, not because the road to success before him was easy, but because by hard work and honest methods, he was able to build a way where there was none herefore. Our people will do well to know that the three great requisites to success in any line of business endeavor are honesty, reliability and promptness. These, coupled with hard work, will bring success and recognition invariably. Just as Mr. Bowen has succeeded, others of us can. And why not? The many avenues of business are now opened to us never before. Our people are beginning to think, read and digest business among ourselves as never before. And while the business idea waxes warm within us, let those of us in business now and those of us who contemplate going into business, roll up our sleeves and get to going along the liness suggested. The business opportunity for the Negro business man is new. May we seize it and use it for all that it is worth.

A Brief Review ```markdown ``` Not long ago the Ga Mutual proclaimed itself a modern business missionary, intending to preach this gospel and showing that the six Negro industrial insurance companies of this city had an income amounting to $566,775.50 in the six months ending December 1912 according to official report. Now comes the startling announcement from a local statistician saying, that the seven Negro companies paid out during the first week in July 1914 right here in Savannah $1,766.70 in salaries and commissions to their employees for one week's work. The Ga. Mutual is going to bring out more facts, but is sorry to say that these figures are getting so large that a good many of our people can't read them.

That the common stock of the corporation has been increased and is now the sum of fifteen thousand dollars and there is now outstanding in addition to said common stock the sum of fifteen hundred dollars of preferred stock. 3. That at a meeting of the stockholders of the said company a resolution was regularly adopted to increase its capital stock to sixteen thousand five hundred dollars, the increase of the capital stock thus made to be used to retire the said preferred stock now outstanding, and the officers of this company were authorized to take the necessary steps towards securing an amendment to its charter authorizing said increase in its capital stock and authorizing it to retire said preferred stock and to cancel the same as aforesaid. 4. That said resolution further provided that authority should be sought by said company to have the right and privilege to increase its said capital stock from time to time whenever its Board of Directors shall decide, to any amount not exceeding twenty-five thousand dollars.

BOWEN FAMOUS OLD CITIES WAR GENTERS Country Has Always Been Cockpit of Europe. BELGIUM has always unhappily been the cockpit of Europe, the battlefield of the nations. History repeats itself today, and many of the historic battlefields and places that have before stood the storm and stress of battle are being given an added historical fame. The towns of Belgium are full of interest. Brussels is one of the oldest as it is one of the most interesting cities of Europe. Several of the more important churches still standing were commenced along about the year 1350. The world famous Hotel de Ville and the Grande Palace, were in existence at that time. The famous Palace of the Neth- ```markdown ``` BRUSSELS, CAPITAL OF DELGIUM. BRUSSELS, CAPITAL OF DELGIUM. erlands was destroyed by fire in 1731, caused by the carelessness of some cooks preparing sweetmeats. Brussels is said to have been founded in the sixth century, and a palace was built there in 977 by Duke Charles of Lorraine. In 1477, when the present territory of Belgium and the Netherlands came under the dominion of the Hapsburgs, Belgium became the seat of a brilliant court. The first rising of the Netherlands against Spain took place in Brussels in 1556, and a century and a third later, in 1695, in the wars of Louis XIV., a large part of the city was burned. The people of Brussels suffered from a series of wars, culminating in the Napoleonic wars and the battle of Waterloo, eight miles south of the city. The European powers left Belgium yoked in a distasteful union with Holland, and this union was destroyed by a revolution in 1830. Hardly less interesting and ancient than Brussels is the city of Antwerp, temporary capital, toward which the eyes of the world are turned. It is one of the most strongly fortified cities in the world and is the key to the entire system of Belgium fortifications planned by General Brialmont in 1859. As a military engineer Brialmont has been equaled by few, if any. Antwerp is about sixty miles from the sea and is situated on the broad and deep river Scheldt—so situated, in ANTWERP, MADE TEMPORARY CAPITAL fact, that many of the land approaches to the city can be flooded in a few hours. Llege is a mere toy compared with Antwerp in the matter of fortifications. Including the suburbs of Bolgerhout, Berchem and Kiel—which are included in the scheme of fortification—the city of Antwerp has a population of about 400,000. Antwerp is on the north and west bank of the Scheldt, but it is practically surrounded by water. Inside the water line is a string of fortifications extending nearly ten miles, and outside of these, on all sides and out beyond the Scheldt, are about twenty-five fortresses, each of which holds 1,000 men and is as heavily equipped as a battleship. These can be completely isolated by water, so that they become veritable battleships, with free play for attack and defense on all sides. The magazines and store chambers are all under water and connected by deep tunnels. There are eight forts connected by a rampart from two to two and one-half miles from the inner string of fortifications. These begin on the north, near Wynehem, inside the zone of inundation, and terminate on the south-at Hoboken. Beyond this line is still another line of fifteen massive fortifications from six to nine miles from the inner string OF. BELGIUM NOW AND IN PAST Towns That Have Stood Storm and Stress of War. of fortifications—the enclave. The last of these have only recently been completed, and the armament is the very latest and most powerful. This outer row of forts makes a line around the city more than thirty miles. Each of the outer fortresses has a frontal crest line of more than 700 yards and carries an armament of 120 guns and fifteen mortars. The city is very proud of its cathedral, which was begun in 1352 and took something like two centuries to complete. Besides being a building of great beauty, it houses a great lot of art treasures. Lourain was the capital of Belgium before the rise of Brussels and is situated about fifteen miles northeast of that city. It has had a population of about 50,000 and is the seat of a celebrated university. There is a tradition that Lourain was established as a military camp by Julius Caesar. Bruges and Ghent are known by name at least to almost every one who can read. As far back as the year 900 in Bruges, then known as Flanders, was established the famous cloth market. Bruges in the early days was the financial center of western Europe. Ghent is now a city of about 165,000 inhabitants, situated on the rivers Scheldt and Lys. It is connected with the sea by a canal. The city has many fine buildings and notable churches. Liege has come to be a center of interest in that it was most unexpectedly one of the first centers of strife in the present European war. It was long famed as being the seat of the prince bishops. The history of the town is the story of continuous strife and struggle. The people of Liege have all along proved capable and persistent fighters. In IS30 these people contributed very largely to the Belgian success in the revolution against the Neth erlands. The valley of the Meuse, in which Liege is situated, has proved to be the CORNWALL NAMUR AND ITS OLDEST FORTRESS. theater of at least the opening events of the great war. This is no new thing on Belgian territory. Waterloo is in Belgium, near Brussels. The Meuse and Sambre valleys furnish a direct line from Germany into France. Llega is only one of several strongly fortified places along the route. The next place of importance after Llege, going up the river, is Namur At Namur the river Sambre joins the Meuse, and there Belgium has erected a chain of nine detached forts. The fall of Namur has been one of the surprises of the war, as its fortifications are stronger than those at Llege, and therefore a long siege was anticipated. The most ancient fortress is built high up on the hill overlooking the town and has a public park about it. The valley of the Meuse from Liege to Namur is picturesque and attractive and is densely populated, even for Belgium, which is the most densely populated country on earth. There are many bold cliffs and ruined castles bordering it, while innumerable thriving villages and rich pasture fields vie with one another in making a beautiful landscape. Huy, a fortified place, has a citadel rising in terraces from the river and defensive works hewn out of the solid rock. Huy is fourteen miles from Liege and twenty-four from Namur. Here Peter the Hermit was burled, and the ruins of the abbey he built upon his return from the crusades are still pointed out. Three Belgium towns that the present war has brought into the public eye are Malines, a city of 70,000 inhabitants and the seat of the Roman Catholic primate of Belgium (the stately cathedral suffered considerable damage during the recent German bombardment); Mons, which is the capital of the province of Hainaut, and Charleroi, a smaller town situated in the same province. Charleroi lies between Mons and Namur, and in the history of the future it is sure of an enduring fame. C. MRS. KATRINA TRASK. At this time, when the public mind is so occupied by the war question, it is interesting to consider the personality of an American woman who has been recently honored for her services against international war. This honor is the award of the annual peace medal by the American School Peace league. The organization believes that in her latest book, "In the Vanguard," Mrs. Katrina Trask has done more than any other person in America during the year to advance international peace. "In the Vanguard" deals with the story of a young man full of military enthusiasm. A supposititious war breaks out between this country and a foreign power, and he enlists, much to the admiration of his friends and sweetheart. The story takes him into his first battle. He enters the battle and fights during part of it, showing the greatest bravery. The sight of men being shot down convinces him that warfare is really murder. He turns away, not because of fear, but because of abhorrence. It is the ordeal which comes for him later, when he has to face the ridicule of his comrades and the indignation of his friends at home that is the main idea of the play. Even his sweetheart turns against him, but he refuses to alter his decision and declines to be a party to what he considers murder. The author of "In the Vanguard" is the widow of Spencer Trusk, the New York banker and philanthropist. She has written many books of high literary merit. Her best known works are "Night and Morning" "King Alfred's Jewels." "Mors et Victoria" and "Little Town of Bethlehem." The exquisite quality of her verse is best appreciated by fellow poets. Her latest work, discriminating critics assert, deserves to be ranked as a classic. Mrs. Trask's literary work has been carried on at her beautiful home, Yaddo, on the outskirts of Saratoga Springs. The mansion stands on an elevation commanding a wide stretch of picturesque country. Surrounding it are grounds beautifully laid out. Recently Mrs. Trask announced that when she passed away these were to be given over to the townspeople of Saratoga as a park. Both her husband and herself have been identified with much wholesome philanthropic work. THE HOUSEHOLD GUARDIAN How to Feed and Care For the Family Watchdog. If you want handsome pets that are a credit to you they must be well cared for and treated considerably. All dogs want a natural outdoor life, with plenty of exercise, and those who have not time to exercise their dogs should not keep them at all. Feeding a dog should be the special duty of one person. If it is everybody's business the animal is sure to be overfed one day and shockingly neglected another. Two meals a day and at regular times are sufficient. For breakfast early in the morning biscuits, with a little meat or bones or gravy, will suffice, but the second meal about 6 o'clock should be more varied and may include boiled rice with broth, cooked meat scraps and vegetables, boiled entrails, scraps from the table, but not fat. A bone to gnaw cleanses the teeth and aids digestion. Sweet cakes and other fancy foods are undesirable, leading to digestive troubles and spoiling the appearance of the coat. A supply of fresh drinking water should always be within the dog's reach, and the vessel ought to be washed every day. It is a small matter even for busy people to spend five minutes each day brushing the dog's coat, but this greatly assists in checking insects and keeping the skin and hair in a healthy condition. Stiffening Curtains When doing up curtains at home if flour is used instead of starch the iron will not stick so much and the curtains will have more the appearance of pew ones. One good tablespoonful of flour for each curtain is sufficient. Mix the flour to a thick paste with cold water; then put in the tub and pour on as much boiling water as required for rinsing the curtains. All Around The Farm YOUNG WOMEN ON FARMS. Every Daughter of the Farmer's Family Can Be of Material Help. From Bulletin of New York State College of Agriculture. We know that there is a large amount of work to be done in the farm home, but farmers' daughters in this country are very brave and capable and ready to lend a hand. As a general thing, the young woman has it in her power to make her work all drudgery or she can transform it into a pleasure. How to do this is for her to study out. It used to be believed and said that the business of the farm ought to be wholly in the hands of the farmer and his sons. It is now understood that the work in the house is an essential part of the farm business, and that in the remainder of the labor of the farm the wife and the daughters have just as keen an interest as have the father and the brothers. Moreover, many a woman is nowadays undertaking the operation of the farm itself and is making good too. It is quite possible to believe that every daughter can grow to be an aid to her father in his business as a farmer, and that gradually she may enter ```markdown ``` THE YOUNG WOMAN ON THE FARM. into full responsibility for some part of the farm business, or that perhaps if it should ever be necessary for her to do so, she may become a successful manager for all the activities of a farm. In the farm home of early New England days the labor of the women included not only all the common work that falls to the hands of women in the present day, but also the spinning and weaving, the dyeing and fulling, the dressmaking and tailoring, the candle making and soapmaking and many other industries that now, along with those mentioned, have gone out of the farmhouse and taken up their abode in the factory. In those days the hands of the women were full of wage earning labor. Today also there are many women, and especially young women, who feel that they need some addition to their earning opportunity, and to these many doors are now opening. The revival of our ancient industries offers an alluring prospect, although this may not be the most practical field. Is it not generally the most sensible thing to take the opportunity that stands by one's own garden gate? Why not, then, make a careful study of the farm conditions right at hand in order to find out whether there may not be some fruit or vegetable product going to waste that can be utilized by the excellent modern methods of canning and preserving, so that the family may be economically supplied with delicacies all the year round, and some extra quantities may be sold that will bring a good income? Something like this should be possible for any energetic and capable farmer's daughter. There are now over 6,000,000 country girls in our land. Does it not look as though this body of eager, buoyant young women might add something valuable to the welfare of our rural life? Potatoes From Maine The United, States department of agriculture has adopted new quarantine regulations for shipment of Maline potatoes. This is to prevent the spread of powdery scab. The new rules went into effect Aug. 1. The regulations provide that no potatoes shall be moved from any quarantined area unless they are duly certified as fit for either table or seed use and are packed in accordance with certified rules. To obtain the necessary certificates for shipments growers must apply for inspection by a federal inspector, and all potatoes intended for seed use must be stored and handled according to certain prescribed methods. Lots in which any of the potatoes are found to be infected with powdery scab or any similar disease will not be certified under any circumstances for seed use. They may, however, be certified for table use after the diseased potatoes are removed and destroyed. et right for Spring, PATE'S KIDNEY ROOT will stop that Pain in the Back and Kidney Trouble right now, 50c and $1.00 a Bottle.

Golf Balls. The first golf bulls were made of untanned bull's hide, two rounds forming the ends, another the middle. These pieces were softened, shaped and firmly sewed together, a small nole being left through which feathers could later be stuffed—a difficult process accomplished with the aid of a steel rod. Genius and Insanity. Dr. R. Armstrong-Jones, chief medical officer at Claybury asylum, Woodford, England, in a lecture on the relation of genius to insanity, recently stated that he knew a man who could recite the "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" from cover to cover, yet his mind continued to be of the nursery type, and he did not understand what he dramatically recited.

Fiction and Fact In the novels the husband strolls into the conservatory for a little smoke before dinner. In real life he strolls into the kitchen and raises blue blazes with the light of his life because dinner isn't ready. Homemade Ink. A good ink is made in this way: Bruise half a pound of nutgalls and stand in one quart of water, shaking it now and then, for about four hours. Then add three ounces and a half of gum arabic and when it is quite dissolved three ounces of copperas. To prevent the ink from becoming moldy when kept add three or four drops of creosote. This gives a pleasant-like smell to the ink and does not corrode the pens as chloride of mercury would do. The quantity of solid substance ejected by the great eruption in the Sunda strait in 1884 may be answered as follows: The largest of the Egyptian pyramids contains upward of 82,000,000 of cubic feet of masonry, yet it would take about 7,360 of such structures to equal the bulk of matter thrown out by the monster eruption. New York American. Nietzsche and the Invalid Nietzsche and the invulner. An invalid lady who often met Nietzsche found him the gentlest, kindest and most sympathetic of men. He "implored her with tears in his eyes not to read his books." Such was his knowledge of women that he was thunderstruck to find shortly afterward that the lady at once proceeded to read them all. He was further stupefied by the discovery that, having read them, she was utterly unmoved by the philosopher's unanswerable demonstrations that feeble persons like herself had no right to live and that women were distinguished by this, that and the other objectionable attribute. It must have been a blow to him.—London News.

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."

Probably the Most Destructive Insect to Wheat, Rye and Barley. [Prepared by J. Troop, entomologist Purdue university agricultural experiment station.] The Hessian fly is probably the most destructive insect to wheat, rye and barley with which the farmer has to contend. It seems to prefer wheat, but it is not uncommon during the seasons when the fly is abundant for a large percentage of the rye and barley crops to be destroyed. Oats are seldom if ever attacked by this fly. As is well known, the fly usually goes in cycles of three or four years. This is due, partially at least, to the parasites which attack it, so that we usually have about two years of abundance of files, when the parasites become numerous enough to kill them off, and then there are several seasons when there are comparatively few and the injury is so alight that it is scarcely noticed. During these years the parasites, finding very little upon which to feed, naturally die off, and this gives the few remaining' files an opportunity to breed and increase in numbers without molestation until they finally become numerous again. Wheat is grown in every county in Indiana. The number of bushels raised in 1911 ranged from 23,000 bushels in Benton, which is a corn county, to 1,031,000 bushels in Posey county, the whole state yielding 34,506,320 bushels. In 1910 the yield was 36,152,022 bushels, or an average of $5,000,000 bushels in round numbers. It is estimated that an average of 10 per cent of the crop is lost annually from the ravages of the fly. This would amount to 3,500,000 bushels, which at 75 cents per bushel would make $2,625,000 as the annual loss to Indiana farmers from this source. It will be more than that this year. It is safe to say that a large part of this loss could be prevented if farmers would give more attention to a better system of farming. Some of the special crop Insects, the onion thrips for example, may be held down by spraying, even where seventy-five or 100 acres are involved, but the Hessian fly is a different proposition and must be outwitted by changing the usual system of raising wheat. Three things are necessary in waging a successful warfare against the fly, viz.-thorough preparation of the soil so as to form the best possible conditions for germination; heavy fertilizing. If the soil is not already in good condition, so as to insure a quick and rapid growth, and late sowing, so as to compel the flies to go elsewhere in order to deposit their eggs. 3 Back For Hauling Wood. Take two 4 by 5 pieces of very strong wood eleven to twelve feet long and cut a notch in each so as to fit down over hind bolster of the wagon to prevent the rack from slipping backward or forward. Use four or six standards on each side and the same number of crosspieces, so placed that THE WOOD RACK. the standard in going down through the socket catches against the end of the crosspiece, as shown in the accompanying sketch. Make the standards three and a half feet long. They may be cut off afterward if desired. Make the standard sockets from old wagon tires to admit a standard 1½ by 4 inches and with holes for one-half inch bolts. Bolt all crosspieces firmly. Have wagon near by when making the rack and place the rack so far forward that in turning the front wheels will just miss the end. CARE OF LIVE STOCK. A starved, stunted colt makes a hard keeper. The young colt should have a regular ration of grain. Keep him growing. Its first year is an important one, and it should never lose its colt flesh. A cow hasn't any excuse for getting sick, says Dr. F. S. Schoonleber, state veterinarian at the Kansas Agricultural collage. That is, it should not get sick if it has enough wholesome roughage and concentrated feed to eat, clean water to drink—minus the chill—meals served regularly and is housed comfortably. Wormy, coughing, stunted hogs have been cured and made perfectly healthy by the use of one-fourth to one-half a box of lye to a barrel of soaked corn, shorts or slops. This is the remedy of a Kansas man, and he says it never falls. In feeding out straw and corn stover in the morning your sheep will take more exercise looking for more food to satisfy its appetite. Sheep are the most nervous of animals, and if allowed to run down quickly become the prey of disease. The well kept, well fed sheep is the only kind to keep. Sheep will not thrive in dark, damp, badly ventilated quarters even if they are only confined in such places overnight. Better keep them in an open lot than house them under such conditions. A horse can be given from one to two pints of castor oil, sheep about four ounces, pigs two ounces and calves two to four ounces. In case of scours it is best to give small doses, combined with laudanum. Castor oil is an excellent purgative. THE SUCCESSOR TO HUERTA. General Carranza the Provisional President of Troubled Mexico. So absorbed has the American public been in the titanic struggle across the water that an event which otherwise would have excited the widest interest has passed almost unnoticed, and that was the recent entry of General Carranza, the Constitutionallist chief, into the City of Mexico. His entry into the capital was a veritable triumphal progress. Immense crowds lined the route of march, and the first chief was greeted with roars of applause from the time he came into view until he was out of sight. He wore a simple fatigue uniform of khaki and a Texan that, such as he has worn throughout the campaign. He rode a superb horse, C GENERAL VENUSTIANO CARRANZA surrounded by his immediate staff and some of the prominent chiefstains of the revolution. Throughout almost the entire progress over the route the first chief was guarded by double lines of Constitutionalist troops, banked with spectators, but when he reached the front of the National palace the enthusiasm of the multitude born down all barriers and thousands of people surged around him, seeking to grasp his hand. At that moment the cathedral bells were set ringing, cannon fired a salute, massed bands played the Mexican national hymn, the buglers of all the Constitutionalist regiments kept up an incessant fanfare, and the acclamations of the assembled thousands reached their height. In an address from the central balcony of the palace he defended the Constitutionallist cause and appealed to the people who had supported the revolution to support the government emanating from the revolution. He promised to equalize the burdens of taxation so that they would not fall in unequal proportion upon the poor. THE DREAD CALL TO WAR: Touching Scenes Are Being Enacted When Families Part. Many are the touching scenes being enacted as the reservists are called upon to join their regiments. A graphic description is given by an American traveler recently returned from a tour through France, who tells of wakening at dawn at the little village of Argentieres, in the Chamonix valley. He says: "There was very little sleep for us that night, but when we finally managed to snatch a few hours we were awakened by the rumble of a train drawing into the station and the shouts of the men. My wife and I rushed to ```markdown ``` A FRENCH RESERVIST RIDING GOODBY TO HIS FAMILY. the window of the hotel and peered out. It was just breaking day. On the platform the weeping women were saying their last farewells to their sons, husbands and sweethearts who were off for the front. The whistle of the engine blew a warning blast, and the train drew out of the station, windows crowded with soldiers waving their hats, calling to their families and shouting: "Vive la France! A bas Berlin!" "Before the shouts and singing of the soldiers had died out in the distance we heard the most pitiful moans of the women who had been left on the station. In that moment we saw all of the tragedy of war." The Crisis is the best Negro magazine in the United States For sale at Young's, 507 West Broad Street, W. W.

Praise is of no use as a mainspring. Power lies outside of it, and entirely independent of it, in all truly valuable lives. Tennyson, the poet, was also the practical man when he remarked, "I think it is wisest in a man to do his work in the world as quietly and as well as he can without heeding praise or dispraise." The Young One—Do your teeth ever give you trouble? The Old One—Oh, yes. I mislay 'em sometimes. Barber a Man of Strength. "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.

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 appearance of this huge and awkward creature in this devotional attitude is not only interesting, but really laughable.—St. Nicholas.

The chief glory of Masonry is, that it levels all the barriers that intervene between individuals and communities, and brings together upon a plain and common equality persons of the most diversed opinions, occupations and interests. Overleaping all the boundries of selfishness and exclusiveness; overruling all social and class distinctions, breaking down all the partitions of bigotry and intolerance, it unites in common work and common object the good and true of all pursuits, opinions, and languages. The Lodge can never become the exclusive creature of any social, political or religious class or sect, because it is the joint possession of the best representatives of all classes and conditions. Here upon the level—the symbol of equality—the rich and poor, the high and low, the titled prince and the sturdy yeuman, forget all differences, of rank and station, unite their best endeavor for the highest good of each and all. Here the best representatives of the various church creeds, and the most diverse theological sentiments stand side by side without a single test between them. Here the leaders of opposite parties and rival factions forget their intrigues, and catching the spirit of loyal sympathy and philanthropy breathed from every lesson of the Order, their hearts are melted into responsive love and fraternal peace. Here nobility of birth and blood is superseded by that higher nobility which is disposition of life. Here the crown of royalty and the sceptre of authority belong to the most distinguished for virtue and honor. Here all languages are melted into words and symbols conveying the same meaning to all minds, and bearing the same significance in all circles. Of course, it is not assumed that these noble and honorable aims are never lost sight of by persons who have sought and obtained the fellowship of the order. Bad men sometimes conceal their selfish designs so skilfully that the closest scrutiny may fail to unmask them. But the object of Freemasonry to unite and harmonize in a benevolent and honorable work, the best representatives of all theological governmental opinions, is not the less apparent on this account. And that its influence in this direction has been exceedingly potential and beneficient no one acquainted with the facts in the case will pretend to deny. The most important incorrigible political zealot, and the most intolerable bigot meet in the lodge room, and heartily fraternize with others of the most dissimilar associations and convictions. Here upon the Level the antipodes of political and theological sentiment meet and join hands; and here the good and true of all classes and conditions have realized, in the fullest and sweetest sense, the Psalmist's words: "Behold how good and pleasant it is for Brethren to dwell together in unity."—Masonic Selections.

Artist, Agent, 7 Florence Street, Savannah, Ga. In our letter of last week, we hinted at some of the baneful effects which come as a natural result of down-right selfishness. There is no doubt about it, selfishness, whether intentional or not, has caused the Negro man and woman in business to fail in many cases where they might have succeeded. The object and aim of the Negro Business League in writing these letters weekly to our people, is simply to keep before them as best it can, certain facts with regard to racial co-operation and development, which in a small degree, should awaken their race pride and cause them to see the importance of putting forth united efforts in establishing their rights as business factors in the community where they live. Our object is to deal with facts and not fancies; whether they please or displease. It is, indeed, too prevalent the case, where business men are sadly lacking in public spiritedness, many, we are sorry to say, seem to think that they have a legitimate right to the patronage, support and boosts of every one in the community, but no one has a right to call upon them for a donation or contribution for any object of public interest or charity, no matter how worthy the cause. This narrowness, this littleness yea, this down-right selfishness is to that business man in the long run, a body of death about his neck. We have heard of business men and firms refusing to give a small donation, by way of encouragement as much as anything else, to worthy churches, charitable institutions, educational purposes, etc. and expected the leaders and promoters of these same things to support, encourage and boost their businesses. We have also heard of ministers, physicians, teachers and other professional men and women of the race, who, at an unguarded moment, fail to contribute their quota to the businesses, as well as to the churches and other permanent institutions of beneficent uplift among the people But these few wherever found and we are proud to say that they are few, like that class of selfish business men referred to above, are simply on the job but for a few days and they are full of trouble. The business league is in receipt of a letter which is very highly appreciated, from one of its clerical friends and supporters, the Rev. D. Augustine Reid, D. D., who is now pastoring the 17th Street Baptist Church, Anniston, Ala. Dr. Reid was very profused in his congratulations of the Negro Business League's weekly letters, and thought that they would mean much to a thinking and reading public, such as is served by the old reliable, conservative Savannah Tribune. Dr. Reid has just pulled off the "war of the roses," such as he had here and raised on last Monday night out of it, $476.85. The Negro Business League of this city, is proud to have sent from its organization so powerful and such a magnetic man as Dr. Reid to represent the best thought and brain of the south's Forest City, in our sister state, Alabama. The invitation to business and professional men to join the Negro Business League is still extended. "Come thou with us we will do thee good." Headquarters in the Wage Earners Bank Building Meets first Wednesday and third Friday evenings of each month. $1.00 to join, 25 cents per week for dues.
