Savannah Tribune

The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXX TRIBUNE'S SPECIAL EDITION HIGHLY PRAISED LARGEST PAPER EVER PUBLISHED BY NEGROES Churches Dispose of Many Copies—Numerous Congratulatory Letters Received—Considered by Many Finest Anniversary Edition Gotten out by Negro Newspaper. The thirtieth anniversary edition of The Tribune, in four sections composed of thirty two pages, which was issued on the third of the month, has not only been received very liberally by the Negroes and whites in this city, but, wherever seen throughout the country it has met with unstinted praise. Throughout the day of its publication, the office phone was kept busy by persons sending in their congratulations, and the following Sunday the local ministers, almost without exception, took occasion to say a complimentary word about "the anniversary edition of the Tribune." Letters of congratulation from every portion of the country have reached the office within the past week. Friends of out-of-town persons who sent them a copy of the issue have in many instances been congratulated for being in a town which could present the Negroes' progress so comprehensively as did The Tribune. In fact, if we were to attempt to publish all of the good things that were said of our anniversary edition, this issue would be full of letters of congratulations. A few facts, however, about the publication, we feel will not be amiss. First, that the work was done by our office force within three weeks time, with all of our other job work going on at the same time, and second that every word, every line, was set up in our office by our own force. In fact, every thing was done by us What the press of the country thinks of the issue may be gleaned from the following: The last issue of the Savannah Tribune, which marked its thirtieth mile post, was a rattling good issue and Editor Sol. C. Johnson and his force deserve great credit. No doubt the issue was the largest ever gotten out by any of the colored weeklies in America. It contained information that should be put on file and every home should have a copy. Brother Johnson is some quill driver, too. Also Mr. J. H. Butler, manager, and Mr. Ed. H. Burke, of his staff. Sall on—Savannah Independent. The Tribune is to be congratulated on the anniversary issue of last week. We note that she is celebrating her 30th year as a Negro journal. This is about the next in age to the Georgia Baptist—The Southern Standard, Macon. The Oct. 3, 1914, Savannah, (Ga.) Tribune, Sol. C. Johnson, editor and proprietor, was in four sections, thirty-two pages, splendidly illustrated, and all home print. We do not remember ever seeing anything its equal, in all of our near thirty-two years' continuous service in race journalism. Congratulations and sneeorest best wishes for continued, and even greater success, Editor Johnson—The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. The last issue of the Savannah Tribune, a weekly paper published by colored people, was a fine number, and The Gazette take pleasure in congratulating the editor, Sol C. Johnson, on his splendid enterprise. It takes hard work to get up a paper-like that but the publishers seem well supplied with brains and energy. We wish the Tribune continued success.-The Darden (Ga) Gazette, white. EDITION DE LUXE. The thirtieth anniversary edition of the Savannah Tribune in its four sections is one of the most interesting anniversary edition of any weekly paper we have ever seen. Its office force of fourteen members and its general record of news gathering of things worth while for the edition is well worthy of mention. It was a clean, classy business make up, of things that count, not merely a horde of politicians or self-admiration societies, but of things we need to know. Among them: The first Pigs and Education and Pigs and Debts. To The Editor: The Savannah Tribune Tuskegee Institute, Alabama— Our race is in constant serch of means with which to provide better homes, schools colleges, and churches, and with which to pay depts. This is especially true during the hard financial condition obtaining on account of The European Wgr. All of this cannot be done at once, but great progress can be made by a good strong pull together, in a simple direct manner: How? There are 1,400,000 colored families who live on farms or in villages, or small towns. Of this number, at the present time, 700,000 have no pigs. I want to ask that each family raise at least one pig this fall. Where one or more pigs are already owned, I want to ask that each family raise one additional pig this fall. As soon as possible, I want to ask that this plan be followed by the organization of a Pig Club in every community where one does not already exist. I want to ask that the matter be taken up at once through families, schools churches, and societies, Farmers' Institutes, Business Leagues, etc. The average pig is valued at about $5.00. If each family adds only pig in a few months at the present prices of hogs, $10,00 would be added to the wealth of the owner, and $14,000,000 to the wealth of the colored people. If each family adds two pigs, it would have in a few months $20,000 more wealth, and $28,000,000 would be added to promote the welfare of the race during the money stringency created by the European War. Let us not put it off, but organize Pig Clubs everywhere. Give each boy and girl an opportunity to own and grow at least one pig. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., October 3, 1914. Negro Baptist Church in America, established in Savannah in 1788; history of the work among the Catholics in Georgia; Catholic school and churches among the Negroes; the public schools vast interests in the banking and insurance business; secret organizations, Charity hospital; Carnegie's library, headed by Negroes; in fact, the editor showed many things that proved to be first hand information that would be well for the general business and of our northern communities to emulate. There were thirty-two pages in four sections and every page splendid columns of facts within itself. The Idea congratulates The Tribune on its splendid showing as a newspaper and its thirty years of clean, healthy, new, dispensing which we know its reading public appreciates. It is truly an edition of information—Illinois Idea THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE GREAT It was a delightful pleasure to receive and read the anniversary number of the Savannah Tribune, of Savannah, Ga. While I was reading it, I thought of the Dally Louisville Courier-Journal, on which I used to write four years ago. To think that the race is issuing a paper in sections, brim full of news and advertisements, weighing as heavy as any daily or Sunday, is truly remarkable and marvelous. I never have been in Savannah, but I was there Monday. It took me the entire afternoon to make the trip. I met in my mind's eye Editor Sol. C. Johnson, James H. Butler and Publisher John H. Deveaux. They deserve congratulations from, the press of the country for giving the Afro-American such a fine piece of workmanship and exhibiting brilliant effort in advance journalism. I visited the First Negro Baptist Church in the country and the Wage Earners' Loan and Investment Company, saw St. Benedict's Church and school, the Standard Life Insurance Company, Old Reliable Pilgrim. Health and Life Insurance Company, Union Mutual Association, The Savannah Pharmacy and a host of other business enterprises. It was a great opportunity to observe the substantial and commercial development and growth of our brethren in the Southland. No doubt if the publication was placed in the hands of many of our Northern critics there would be an instantaneous change of heart because of this remarkable revelation of Ne (Continued on page 8) SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17TH, 1914 Mr. Chas. A. Shaw Killed As a result of a shooting last night shortly before 10 o'clock, C. A. Shaw, a Brunswick barber, and one of the best known and most highly respected colored citizens in Brunswick, is dead. George Edwards, a son-in-law of the dead man and also a barber, is occupying a cell in the county jail for the deed. Two versions of the affair were given today, one by Edwards' wife and the other by Edwards himself. According to their statements a charge of manslaughter will be brought against Edwards. Quarrel Caused Shooting. According to Edward's wife, Edwards came home last night under the influence of liquor. When she told him: "You ought to be ashamed of yourself for coming home drunk", he is alleged to have made a threat to take their children and leave, and, she claims, Edwards slapped her. Shaw, in an adjoining room rushed in the room occupied by Edwards and his wife, and demanded of her if Edwards had struck her. She replied that he had tried to hit her. A quarrel ensued and Edwards' wife claims that Shaw struck at Edwards first and then they clitched. At this juncture she claims, she ran from the room and a moment later heard two pistol shots. When she returned to the room she found her father lying on the floor. He died an hour later. Edwards' Statement When a Banner representative approached Edwards today at the county jail, the accused man appeared to be repentant and thoroughly sorry that the tragedy had occurred. "God knows, I would not have intentionally harmed the old man for anything in the' world. When I came home last night, I never felt better in my life and had no idea of picking a quarrel with any one. The old man reprimanded me for coming home late and then we had a quarrel. "I don't know whether I shot him or whether he shot himself. I don't remember whether I grabbed the pistol from the, mantel-piece or whether he did. In the scuffle two shots were fired. One of them passed through my pants leg and one hit the old man." Edwards has a bullet hole in one of his pants legs. Coroner Jennings examined Shaw's body and found that one bullet had entered the pit of the stomach. Only two shots were fired. The coroner decided not to hold an inquest as Edward's wife was a witness of the tragedy. Than C. A. Shaw there was not a better known, and most highly respected colored man in Brunswick. For years and years he had been a leader among his race here. He worked enthusiastically and unselfishly at all times for their uplift and betterment. He was one of the leading lights of the Educational and Protective League, a colored organization for the uplift of the colored race. Recently Shaw started a movement to take idling colored boys and girls from off the streets and place them in public schools here. His whole heart and soul was in this work up to the time of his death. He belonged to numerous colored lodges, secret societies and other organizations and a leading member of the colored Episcopal church. For thirty years or more Shaw had been a barber and was one of the proprietors of the barbershop at 1413 Newcastle street. In this position he had become acquainted with a large number of the white population and through his politeness and strict attention to his business gained the highest respect of everyone. Shaw was one of that class of colored citizens who is a benefit to a community and he will be missed by both the whites and colored. The above was taken from the Brunswick Banner, Tuesday last, (Continued on page 4) Negroes in the United States Washington, D. C., October 12, 1914.—A bulletin on Negroes in the United States will be issued at an early date by William J. Harris, Director of the Census, Department of Commerce, which will contain information obtained through the census regarding the number and distribution of the Negroes, their rate of increase, their sex and age distribution, and their marital condition. Figures of illiteracy and school attendance and the occupation of Negroes will also be presented, as well as data on Negroes in agriculture, and on mortality among Negroes. This bulletin is preliminary to a detail report on Negroes in the United States to be issued later, which will be a complete analytical presentation of the statistics concerning the Negroes. Negro Population of the United States The bulletin will show that the unnumber of Negroes in the United States (exclusive of outlying possessions) in 1910 was 9, 827, 763, and they form 10.7 per cent of the total population. In 1900 the number of Negroes was 8,833,994, or 11.6 per cent of the total population of that date. The increase among the Negroes during the decade was 993,769, or 11.2 per cent, as compared with an increase of 20.8 per cent among the native whites and of 30.7 per cent among the foreign born whites. The growth of the Negro population results from their own natural increase, while the growth of the white population is accelerated by the great influx of immigrants and hte high birth rate in immigrant families. Of the total number of Negroes in 1910 about one-fifth were reported as mulatto; that is, as having some white blood. The proportion that the mulattoes formed of the total Negro population increased from 12 per cent in 1870 to 15.2 per cent in 1890, and to 20.9 per cent in 1910. Urban and Rural Distribution Nearly three-fourths of the Negroes (7,138,534 or 72.6 per cent) were rural dwellers, while about one-fourth (2,689,229, or 27.4 per cent) lived in towns or cities of at least 2,500 inhabitants. The Negroes formed 14.5 per cent of the rural population of the United States, as compared with 6.3 per cent of the urban. In the Southern states the greater majority of the Negroes live in rural districts, while of the Negroes of the North and of the West a large portion were city dwellers. Of a total of 2,953 counties in the United States there were only 110 in which there were no Negroes, and there were 53 counties in 1910, as compared with 55 counties in 1900, in which 75 percent of the population was Negro. There were 263 counties in 1910 in which 58 per cent of the population was Negro. Sex and Age In 1910 there were 4,885,881 Negro males in the United States as compared with 4,941,882 Negro females, the number of males to 100 females thus being 98.9, as compared with a ratio of 106 for the whites. The Negroes were the only race in the United States in which there were more females than males. The age distribution of the Negroes was as follows: Age group No. P.C. All ages* 9,827,763 100.0 Under 5 years. 1,263,288 12.9 5 to 14 years. 2,401,819 24.4 15 to 24 years. 2,001,211 21.3 15 to 44 years. 2,638,178 26.8 15 to 64 years. 1,108,103 11.3 65 years and over. 294,124 3.0 *Includes persons of unknown age. The age distribution on the Negroes does not differ materially from that of the whites. The Negro males in the United States of voting age numbered 2,458,873 in 1910, and the Negro females of voting age numbered 2,427,742. School Attendance and Illiteracy. Of the Negroes 6 to 9 years of age, 488,954, or 49.3 per cent, were reported as having attended school during the school year 1909-10; of those 10 to 14 years of age, 791,995, or 68.6 per cent, A Substantial Visit to the Cuyler Street School. A day long to be remembered in the minds of the faculty and the pupils of the Cuyler Street school is Wednesday October 14, 1914. A committee of representative men of our city accompanied by the Supt., Prof. Otis Ashmore called and inspected the enschool. It was very gratifying to the teachers to see the expression of interest and delight displayed by the visiting gentlemen as they went from room to room viewing the different departments. The committee found excellent order in all the classes and the play grounds well kept. The marching of the pupils to and fro was interesting and brought looks of applause upon the faces of the Grand Jury. The military feature being an addition of the principal, Prof. J. W. Hubert, speaks much for him and has won the good grace of all who have witnessed the sight. Marked attention to the industries was paid by the committee, so much so that the motto of Mr. Davis, "A Stitch in time saves nine" was shown in the gift of a new Singer sewing machine. Much appreciation and many, many thanks to Mr. Davis, Foreman of the Grand Jury. The Cuyler Street school bids welcome to all visitors interested in the well being of our race. Come out and see the grand and beautiful school where your children are trained in head, heart and hand. Savannah has done much for us and we feel bountifully blessed. "Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing were so reported; and of those 15 to 20 years of age, 338,750, or 26.5 per cent. In each age group the percentage of school attendance was much lower for the Negroes than for the whites. Of the total number of Negroes 10 years of age and over, 2,227,731 or 30.4 per cent, were reported as illiterate; among the whites the percentage of illiteracy was.5, being 3 among native whites and 12.7 among foreign born whites. The percentage of illiteracy among Negroes decreased from 57.1 in 1890 to 44.5 in 1900, and to 30.4 in 1910. The Negro in Agriculture The bulletin will, contain information by states, and also by counties, about Negroes in agriculture. The total number of farms operated by Negroes in 1910 was 893,370; of this number, 218,972 were operated by their owners, 672,964 by tenants, and 1,434 by managers. The number of farms owned by Negroes increased by 31,175, or 16.6 per cent, between 1900 and 1910, and the number of Negro tenants increased by 115,790, or 20.8 per cent, during the decade. The total value of farm property operated by Negroes in 1910 was $1,141,181,000, as compared with $499,941,000 in 1900, indicating that, the value of agriculture property operated by Negroes increased considerably more than twofold during the decade. The statistics show that 1,806,727 Negro males and 1,050,849 Negro females were engaged in agriculture. Mortality Statistics. The forthcoming bulletin will contain for the first time a statement regarding mortality among the Negroes. All previous census publications have given statistics for the total colored population, in which was included Chinese, Japanese, Indians, and other non-whites. The data will be shown for the registration area of the United States, which includes the registration states and certain selected cities. The death rate among Negroes in 1910 in this area was 25.5 per 1000, showing a decrease as compared with the rate in 1900, which was 29.4, and the death raes of 1910 show many decreases, especially in the Southern municipalities. OVER 1500 PUPILS IN THE PRIVATE SCHOOLS OVER 1500 PUPILS IN THE PRIVATE SCHOOLS CATHOLICS LEAD DENOMINATIONAL SCHOOLS IN ATTENDANCE All Schools Fairly Well Attended —Opening A. M. E. School at Central Park Noteworthy Addition to Private Schools. The private schools of the city are now all opened and, as usual, are fairly well attended, several of them have been crowded while a few have not reached the enrollment of last year. In several of the schools in which the attendance has shown a decrease over that of last year, deminuation in enrollment has been attributed to the inability of the parents to enter their children so far this year on account of the general hard times prevailing. This seems to be especially the case in two of the schools where a large proportion of the children came from parents who make their livelihood by work on the wharves. Among the denominational schools in the city, the Catholic lead in attendance by a large proportion. This is attributable to the fact that they have more schools here than any other religious body, having four with a total enrollment of 442. The next largest being that of the Presbyterian parochial school 210. The total number of pupils attending the private schools whose enrollment is above 25, is 1,523 a slight increase over the attendance for this time last year. The most noteworthy addition to the private schools this year is the opening of Central Park Normal and Industrial Institute the A. M. E. Church school situated at Central Park, three miles form the city on the White Bluff road. The school's attendance on opening was 54 in the boarding department, coming from the territory surrounding the city. Since its opening, the school which at present consists of a beautiful three story brick building on the highest point in Central Park., has steadily increased in attendance both in the boarding and day departments. The city students who attend the school are conveyed to the grounds every morning in a wagon. The attendance at the Georgia State College is larger than it has been for years 283 students being enrolled. The new features of the college this year being a laundry. The Beach Institute the highest of the private schools of the city, under the auspices of the American Missionary Association, has about its usual attendance. The enrollment of pupils in private schools is as follows: Beach Institute.....100 Presbyterian.....210 Swangin.....164 St. Benedict's (Catholic).....166 St. Mary's (Catholic).....146 St. Anthony's (Catholic).....85 St. Augustine (Catholic).....25 Berean Bapt, Mechanics Hall 125 Miss Brown, U.

It was full of action, clean and afford an evening of wholesome mirth. The performers are all uptodate and well versed in the business. The bill for next week promises to be as interesting as the present one; if such be the case, it will be worth while seeing. Manager Stiles is endeavoring to book nothing but first-class performers, so as to give the patrons each week a show well worth the price of admission. Down Fall of Russia Foretold BIBLICAL FACTS PRESENTED TERSELY BY ELDER MANNS The Struggle Now Going on in Europe Among Nations Bearing Out Prophecies Taken From Holy Writ. By Elder J. W. Manns. To the Editor: My soul has been stirred by the terrible conflict now going on in Europe. Civilization is going to pieces under the blow of a cataclyamic struggle. The blazing out of the primitive passion of the race has set whole continents aflame with the lust for war and bloed. The Hague peace palace has become the world's jest, for one blast of the war trumpet has shattered the utopist's dream of peace. And this strife may lead to the closing conflict of the history of the world, for the prophecies of the Bible indicate clearly that the end of the world will come suddenly and unexpectedly in the midst of just such a war as this now in progress in Europe. I want to say that there are numerous scriptures which foretell the strife of the last days. In Jeremiah 4:19, 20 are these words "My anguish, my anguish; I am pained at my heart; my heart is disquieted in me; I cannot hold my peace; because thou has heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is laid waste; suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtains in a moment." In the thirty-eighth and thirty-ninth chapters of Ezekiel, there is a prophecy concerning the part which Russia will take in the closing conflict of the history of the world. In the revised version of the Bible, the second verse of the thirty-eighth chapter reads, "Son of man, set thy face toward Gog of the land of magog, the prince of the Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophecy against him, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah Behold I am against thee. O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal." Now Meshech was one of the grandsons of Noah. In seeking himself a home he departed from the country of the Euphrates, went through Mesopotamia, into the territory we now call Russia, and became the progenitor of the people who settled in that place and built the city of Moscow—the Russian people. Magog was also a grandson of Noah. He peopled all that part of Asia which anciently was called Scythia, but which is now known as Siberia. Tubal was still another grandson of Noah. He settled in and peopled the region which continues to bear from him the name of Tobolsk. The prince of Rosh, spoken of in prophecy, is the chief of all these countries. The word 'Rosh' is the root-word from which we derive the name Russia and the Russians. Therefore it is clear that in these chapters there is contained the word of God for the people of to-day regarding the place which will be occupied by Russia in the strife of the last days, and up to the very last day. In the eighth verse of this chapter also it is made plain that the events it predicts are to occur in the last days. And in the sixteenth verse of the same chapter, this time when the prophecy is to be fulfilled, is again spoken of, it shall be in the latter days. "God declares in the fourth verse, "I will bring thee forth," speaking of Russia, "and all thine army, horses and horsemen, and all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company of bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords." And the ninth verse further describes Russia and her allies: "Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou and all thy bands, and many people with thee." Remember this is to be in the latter years. The fifteenth verse adds, "And thou shalt come from thy peace out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee,—a great company, and a mighty army. And then the Lord declares, "And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord, that my fury shall come up, in my face. For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, * * that the fishes of the sea and the fowls of the heavens, and beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground....And I shall plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and will rain upon him and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, and overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone." "Thus it is plain from this prophecy that in time of the last great conflict among men, God Himself will enter the lists of fight against the armies of the earth. This terrible visitation of divine wrath is predicted in numerous places in the Bible, and when it comes it will bring all of the armies of men to death. This is described in this very prophecy Ezekiel thirty-ninth chapter, verses seventeen to twenty: "And thou son of man, thus saith the Lord; speak unto every feathered fowl and to every beast of the field, assemble yourselves and come, gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you * * that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood, ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, * * Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, with all men of war, saith the Lord" Joel speaks of this last universal war whea he cries (Joel 3:9-12) "Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up; beat your plowshares into swords; and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. Assemble yourselves and come all ye heathens, and gather yourselves together round about; thither cause the mighty ones to come down, O Lord." The very time referred to in these prophecies written so many centuries ago are here and the very conditions described by these inspired men are now taking place before our very eyes. Think of the situation. After nineteen centuries of the gospel of peace the great Christian nations are all at each others throats, throwing themselves into a devastating war and calling on the same God to bless their slaughter. National animosities are to be settled by incredible slaughter, the world is to be drenched in blood to decide which nation shall have its ambition satisfied in their lust for power. And this well nigh incredible folly and ferocity is not all the result of the intrigues of despotic rulers and cold-blooded statesmen. The most striking feature in the whole outburst is the lust and enthusiasm of the people for war. The specter of Napoleon appalled Europe a little more than a century ago. But Napoleon never had more than 500,000 soldiers in his army, To day probably 25,000,000 men are in arms in Europe. The hearts of millions of women are breaking for fathers, husbands, sons and sweethearts. Millions of men today are thirsting for the blood of other men who but yesterday were their friends. Passions as crude as those of the primitive savages have been let loose to engulf civilization. In the midst of peaceful civilization, when, in theory, the principles of Christianity were the animating principles of the world same resistless force has changed whole nations into war-crazed mobs. What does it all mean? What will be the outcome of it? It means that the coming of Christ is at hand. The Bible has been predicting for centuries that the end of the world would come in the midst of a gigantic conflict which would sweep the human race into oblivion. Supernatural forces are behind the movements of the nations which are being impelled into strife with each other. The final issue of the age-long conflict between Christ and satan is impending. Now do not misunderstand me and do not misquote me. I do not say that this present trouble will mean the close of all things earthy, Indeed, I anticipate perhaps that peace may be declared. But the seed of trouble will remain uneradicated, and after a very brief season of quiet the final crash and wreck of the empires will take place and the eternal kingdom of God will be set up on their ruins. This present conflict is preparing for this very thing, it is preparing them for what is called in the Bible, "the battle of of that great day of God Almighty which is to be fought at Armageddon. This prophecy will be found in Rev. 16:13-21. The coming of the day of the Lord which is very near at hand, is described in Zeph: 1:14-18. "In this day of trouble just be- fore there is salvation in the Lord. He has sent a great message of truth into all the world, warning men of the coming of Christ and of the keeping of the Commudents of God, in order that when they hear this message they may accept it and thus be saved in the kingdom of Christ which is about to take the place of the nations of the earth. Oh, my brother, give your allegiance to God in this hour of supreme trials." Negro Business League Weekly Letter-by J. C.Lindsay Our men who are engaged in business in this community, who are putting brains, push and honesty into their business, are doing well, and are here and here to stay. Our banks, real estate and insurance men are making themselves known and felt. Our dry goods store and grocery stores have no need for just complaint. Our drug stores and physicians are doing as well as similar businesses and professions engaged in by members of other races. In fact every line of legitimate business engaged in by our men and women where that business is backed up men and women of experience, intelligence and honesty, is making the other fellow, who is their competitor sit up and take notice. The time has passed, and indeed, the intelligent business and professional Negro does not wish to recall it, when the Negro with money to spend can be appealed to, "cose we is niggers" we should be patronized. The intelligent Negro business and professional man has long since come to the conclusion that to get and hold the business of the intelligent Negro who has money to spend, that he, the business and professional man, must convince the man with the money, that he will get value received for goods, wares or service. The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company, the pride and ideal of the Negroes in this community, not only pays as much as the white banks on time deposits, but actually goes them one better. These banks conducted by the other fellow pays only 5% on time deposits, while our bank, the Wage Earners, pays 6% on time deposits. Not only so, but the banks conducted by the other fellow close their doors to business and the public at 2 o'clock every day in the week except Saturday, at which time they close at noon. The Wage Earners, the Negro bank, keeps its doors open for the accommodation of its Negro patroas until seven o'clock every evening in the week except Saturday, then they keep open until nine. Thus you see, they are hot asking for your business or a part of it because they are Negroes, but because they can, and are delivering the goods. What is true with the banks and many other businesses conducted by our people in this community is doubly so with the Negro insurance companies. In the first place these Negro companies furnish employment to a number of men and young women who are being trained in the lore of industrial insurance in a practical way, which training they could never get but for the fact that there still remain in the race and ever will, that class of men and women who do not think that all the men and women of the race should be engaged in the same kind of work. These companies, like ourbanks do not ask that they be given support and encouragement because they were founded by Negro brain and money, but ask the support of the insurable public because they are delivering the goods. Outside of the Negro farms owned, operated and controlled by members of the race, there is not another business among us that gives employment to as many members of the race as the Negro insurance companies. These splendid industrial conditions are the natural results of the race putting their little mites together and making one altogether pull. Theseand similar organizations, as referred to above, are the outcropping of the Negro business league, which meets the first Wednesday and third Friday evenings in each month, at the new Wage Earners Bank building, Bowens' office, 458 West Broad street. Come and bring some one with you. For Plain and Ornamental PLASTERING Kalsomining and PAINTING "I had jest fell over the bulwarks," said the able seaman, "when along comes a big shark an' grabs me by the leg." "What did ye do then, matey?" asked one of the patients. "I never disputes none with sharks," said the sailor. "I let him have the leg." Tricking the Heng. Chinamen have a way of tricking hens so that they assist in the hatching off fish. Fish eggs are carefully placed in an eggshell, which is then sealed and placed under an unsuspecting hen. In a few days the spawn is warmed into life, and the contents of the shell are then cast into a shallow pool, where the sunshine completes the work. No Difference.

The Wickedest Bit of Bass Nine out of ten travelers would tell inquirers that the roughest piece of water is that cruel stretch in the English channel, and nine out of ten travelers would say what was not true. As a matter of fact, "the wickedest bit of sea" is not in the Dover strait or in yachting, for example, from St. Jean de Luz up to Paullac or across the Mediterranean "race" from Cadiz to Tangler, nor is it in rounding Cape Horn, where there is what sailors call a "true" sea. The "wickedest sea" is encountered in rounding the Cape of Good Hope for the eastern portion of Cape Colony.—London Globe. An Ornament to Paris. The Place de la Concorde in Paris is one of the most beautiful places of its kind in the world. It was not until 1763 that the grounds were first adorned by the erection of an equestrian statue of Louis XV, and Gabriel, the architect, constructed the balustrades and pavilions that are seen today. The present design, however, was made by Hittorff in 1854. In 1792 the statue of the king was removed by the populace, and the square became known as the Place de la Revolution. During the bloody period the guillotine was placed here, and Louis XVI was executed on Jan. 21, 1793, and in the following October the unfortunate Marie Antoinette shared a like fate. Big Ones For Little Ones. Years ago there lived a certain backwoods farmer who had a singular faculty for overlooking the most obvious things. 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." Dr. Johnson's Resolutions. Dr. Johnson compiled this list of good resolutions on his fifty-first birthday in 1700: "Resolved, Deo juvente, to combat notions of obligations; to apply to study; to reclaim imaginations; to consult the resolves on Tetty's coffin; to rise early; to study religion; to go to church; to drink less strong liquors; to keep a journal; to oppose laziness by doing what is to be done tomorrow; rise as early as I can; send for books of history of war; put books in order; scheme of life." Orthography of Shakespeare. Orthography of Shakespeare. Some interesting Shakespeareana appear in the London Record. It is well known that in Shakespeare's time orthography was little accounted of and that Shakespeare himself would have considered the question of spelling his name in one way and not another a mere waste of time. It is, however, worth recording how the name struck the Bodleian officials when the first folio was given a place and mark in the library. The entries are as follows and were all written in 1623: Shaksper, Shape-speare, Shakspeare, Shakespeare, Shak-speare. The testimony, so far as it goes, is obviously in favor of the form "Shakespeare" and of the present pronunciation of the word. Always on Time. A man who is constitutionally late surprised his friends by leaving the house at 1 o'clock to keep a 2 o'clock appointment. "Jim's watch must be wrong or he wouldn't have started so early," they said. "He will surely be on time today. Where in the world can he be going?" "He is going to a funeral," volunteered one who knew. "He is one of the pallbearers: Very seldom are pallbearers behind time. I have known men who were late on every other imaginable occasion—late for their own weddings even—but if chosen for pallbearers they always came up to the mark."—New York Globe. 811 WEST BROAD STREET Is supplied with Pure, Fresh DRUGS AND CHEMICALS, and is prepared to fill any prescription.

ES Sere See nee All good women should be friends of Masonry. As a rule they are. Whatever their opinion of otherorders, no matter how much they object to the con- viviality, or soctal features of this or that society, nearly all of ahem are proud to have theirsons and their husbands wear the square and compass. But not all women want their mento be good Masons, strange as that may seem, Of course not half one reads in the alleged “‘comic” papers of the man who goes to lodge and comes home “loaded.” or of sitting up with asick friend,” has a counterpart in real life, But sometimes the good wife and mother objects to the man ofthe house attending lodge meeting. She thinks that iis leisure hours should belong tothe fireside. Aga rule she is right, and man can,scarcely be better employed than staying at home with his family. Yet an ex- ception must be made in favor of the church, and of Masonry. There is no real opposition to Masonry among good women. They may feel a little envious at its claim ona man they may be curious as to its secrets but they intuitively realize that it works for the betterment of mankind, and forthe protection of woman- kind. Ifthey fully realized the “great protection Masonry is to women and children the broad general principles and the thou- sands of individual instances, in which Masonry has stretched forth the mantle of protection over lonely woman, sick or suffer- ing woman, helpless woman, dis- tressed childhood; they would unite in singing its praise and working for its advancement, : Early in his Masonic career eyery Mason should, so far as he may take his womenfolks into his confidence, tell what Masonry means to them and for them. If he does that instead of asking him to stay at home on lodge nights, they will hold him up to the mark in his Masonic, as in his religious duties,—Selected. Men are great and small in stat- ure as it pleases God. But their nature is great or small as it pleases themselves. Men are not born, some with great souls, some with little souls.

None the less interested in the affairs of the County Commissioners anent the present attack on the new tax rate, are the colored teachers of the county. To say the least there is no denying the fact that untold deprivation and suffering, will come to them if they are denied, as at present seems probable, their October salary when the same becomes due. As has been said since the present suit has been pending, the teachers are among those who can least afford to be kept out of their money when the same is due them. And especially at this time when they are just back from their vacation during which they have no doubt found need of all that they have been able to hoard during the winter months. Poorly paid as they are, and especially the Negro teachers whose pay is considerably less than the whites, it will be little short of cruelty and heartlessness for anyone to stand in the way of their getting the money which they have so justly merited when the time comes for them to receive the same. As we go to press, it is indeed both gratifying and encouraging to us to know that strenuous efforts are being put forward by the proper agencies to bring about a satisfactory settlement of the present dispute concerning the new tax levy, which so seriously threatens the financial welfare of our teaching force. For any condition to come about to impair or interfere in any way with Chatham County's educational system at this time, would be a calamity of the very first water. Let us hope that the good sense and sober judgment so characteristic of the good people of the county who have this matter in hand will be able to exert itself in the present crisis in a way that will cause peace and satisfaction which at the present time seems altogether chaotic. Take Advantage of Seemingly Small Things. "There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood leads to fortune." The foregoing, written several hundred years ago, is as applicable to day to the lives of men as when it first left the pen of the great English bard. To every man, opportunity comes to his door and knocks at least once during his life time. To be sufficiently far seeing and sagacious as to open the door, grasp the opportunity by the hand and let him in, has resulted in prosperity and success to those who have so acted, while failure and ruin have come to those who have acted otherwise. To know when the iron is sufficiently hot to be struck, requires not only brain but observational power of no small degree. From time immemorial men have come along and succeeded where others have failed by reason of the fact that they, who succeeded, have been able to make capital in places which heretofore apparently gave little promise of capital making. As a rule, one's failure to grasp opportunity when it presents itself to him results in his lost of the chance. This is true not only of individuals but races as well. There is no truer indictment that can be made against our people at this time than that they o not recognize and make suffi- capital of the various oppor- for economic and financi- presenting themselves mention a single in- illustration, we call penny trade now by the Greek and the Negro pub- recess time. number of venderinity of the recess time number of children who crowd around them during every minute of the recess period, satisfactory financial gains must be coming to these peddlers of penny articles of food as a result of their labors. Now for the life of us we cannot see why some wide awake colored men or women do not seek a part if not all of this school trade which goes to the other fellow. What a small opportunity to a small investor to engage in a profitable business! We see no reason why some live colored men do not fit up some attractive vender carts and go out for a share of the public school penny trade. There is no doubt that financial profit is in the business. If the other fellow finds it profitable why can't some of us. It means a poor showing for one to allow another to come unto his own and do what he can do for himself. We believe that somebody ought to get busy along the line suggested. Who will it be? Editorial , Notes This age is progressive; let everybody get on a hustle along every line with a tendency that will uplift. T The time is at hand for the paying of tax. Each colored man having a child in the public school should be sufficiently manly to pay one dollar poll tax. T In a few more weeks the congressional election will take place. The Republicans are endayoring to cut out the Democratic majority in congress. We especially appeal to the colored voters in the close states to stick to the Republican party and vote solidly for its candidates. If for no other reason the advantages taken of colored office-holders in the south and the segregation of clerks in the departments at Washington should cause every colored voter to rally around the standard of the Grand Old Party in November. In many cases of importance appened to the Supreme Court of the United States by our people, some are thrown out on account of reported faulty preparation. This happened in the case of Carl Oliver of Texas, charged with shooting a white man who was caught with his wife. The record of the case was not printed and for this reason alone it was thrown out. Now, it is reported that President Wilson is not in favor of only one term for a president. He should have made this known during the campaign and not subscribe to the Democratic platform that proscribes him to one term only. The farmers of Chatham County should welcome the presence of the farm demonstrator with headquarters at the State College. It means much to them and will result in a stimulus and helpfulness that will be of great benefit. T King Barleycorn has dethroned the reason of many men, the cause of many unhappy homes, the ruin- iag of many useful lives, and the undermining of health. Ouryoung men should be taught to look upon it as they would a poisonous serpent. It is appalling to think of the very large number of our children who applied for places in the public schools and were unable to be admitted. It is safe to say that we have more than three thousand children of school age who are without accommodation The new school building gave but slight relief to this horde of knowledge seekers, and the need of not only one more, but two more school buildings is apparent. It would be an excellent idea for the Board of Education to secure now, a suitable location in the southeastern section of the city for at least one more very large school building. Last week a misdemeanor convict was killed while attempting to escape from the local chain gang. As a general thing the chain gang system of this county is free of such occurrences and especially of cruelties as depicted in other parts of the state. The authorities here are human in their treatment of the convicts and will under no circumstance permit the guards to act otherwise. The offense of attempting to escape, especially of a misdemeanor convict, is not sufficiently serious to warrant the taking of a life and it would not have happened if the guard had displayed more thoughtfulness. Let us all put our little hammers-aside and work for a greater advancement of our people along every line of endeavor in this city. This is no time for grouch, for envy, malice or differences. Large minded men will not harbor such feelings and will always be found on the firing line of progress. If you are interested in the education of your children prove it by paying one dollar poll tax. Do it now. It is reported that another weekly paper will be started here. We now have two The field properly worked is large enough for another one. The new one will undoubtedly reach patrons that the present ones do not and will be the means of spreading race thought. It is hoped that it will be established on firm basis and conducted on such a plane as will be of credit to all of us and helpful to the community. The Tribune heartily welcome every enterprise of note among us. Again we arise to remark that there are too many idle acres of farm land in this county owned by our people. These owners arelosing golden opportunities to become more independent and at the same time build up their community and expand. If they will not take hold of the present chance, to benefit themselves, it will not be long before a horde of foreigners be found taking charge, and too, to our detriment. Let the owners of these acres act now. Editor Anderson of the Amsterdam News. O James H. Anderson of the Publicity Committee of the Commission, is the founder and editor of the Amsterdam News, one of the leading colored organs of the country and the most influential in New York City. The story of the marching on of his soul from Columbia, S. C., where he was born in 1869, to its present hazy vision of an aldermanic chair in New York is more varied and romantic in detail, but is essentially identical in kind with that of the average progressive Freedman. The boy James began to earn his living at 25 cents a week in the service of a family at Columbia, and soon advanced to a weekly salary of three-quarters of a dollar as attendant in a livery stable. As scullion on a steamboat he made his way to Jacksonville, Fla., and later to Norfolk, Va., where he settled for a time, began to attend an evening school, and learned the baker's trade. The man, Anderson, then served a term in the United States Navy and thereafter resumed his trade in New York. He soon exchanged his position for that of a pullman porter, and this in turn he left to become an assistant sexton in Henry Ward Beecher's Plymouth Church in Brooklyn, and then a bill poster. With the versatility and experience he had acquired from such varied contact with men, he established in 1909 the newspaper which could not have attained its present standing without the control of a vigorous and resourceful mind. Mr. Anderson is active in Masonic and other fraternal and civic organization—Memento of the Emancipation Proclamation Exposition, New York. South Offers Opportunity Colored Wheelwright Tuskegee Inst., Ala., Oct., 12- With the steady advance, in industrial independence now so marked in the South comes very naturally the shop and the factory. Twenty-five years ago every wagon used in the South came from an Indiana or an Illinois or a Kentucky factory, and the proudest owner of a wagon was the owner whose wagon came from the farthest point north. At First A. B. Church, Monday Night, Nov. 9, 1914 Under the Auspices of the USHERS ASSOCIATION and LADIES AUXILIARY. Refreshments of all kinds'will be served. Gradually all this is changing, and wagon factories, like factories of other kinds, are springing up all over the South. Many such have grown out of wheelwright shops that found it cheaper to build a wagon than to repair it. In many of the smaller southern cities the leading wheelwrights have been-colored men, some of whom have had a blacksmith shop in one end of the establishment and a wagon shop in she other. One of the big wagon companies of the South is the James Graham Company of Memphis, Tenn. This firm makes one of the best wagons on the market, and employs a big force of men. Several of the head workmen are colored men, in one case both father and son working on a head job. George James, the managing owner of the establishment, has said that he does not employ more colored men only because they are not to be had. A good wheelwright draws a wage from $21 to $30 per week, clear of his helper. In his own shop the wheelwright sets his own profit. Particularly in the smaller towns of the farming districts there is a big demand for wagon, buggy and carriage workers. The wheelwright shops at Tuskegee Institute, carrying an equipment almost complete, offer an opportunity better than good for young colored men, who cannot follow an apprenticeship, to study wheelwrighting. Repairing vehicles and farm implements for the school, there is also going on constantly carriage and wagon building not only for the school, but for citizens in the adjoining territory and for many at a distance. This division has won many prizes at state and county fairs for excellent work. Each pupil is provided with tools, such as cross-cut saws, a coachmaker's vise, chisels, augur bits, drawing knives, spoke shaves, while many tools are reserved by the instructor for use when needed. From selecting stock to laying out Thimble Skein axles, the course is thorough, and offers first-class training in a first-class trade. (Continued from page 1) and gives an account of the regretted affair, which was a shock to all of his friends here.* Mr. Shaw was one of the best known men in the state, and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. He took an active part in fraternal affairs, and is better known among the Knights of Pythias of the state, of which he was a Past Grand Chancellor. He always took an active part at all of the sessions of the Pythian Grand Lodge. He was also a Mason being one of the oldest members of Cornerstone Lodge No. 8, of Brunswick. He was one of the best known colored men in the Episcopal Church in the state and was very active in his church. He leaves a widow, and several children. The funeral took place Thursday afternoon and was the largest ever seen in Brunswick. Regrets of his death were heard on all sides and from every class of citizen. PETER M. Bishop R. A. Carter, D. D., who will be at St. Paul C. M. E. Church week of October 10th. On October 10th, the Dunbar Literary and Social Club held a very interesting meeting. Various topics concerning the elevation of the unfortunate among us were ably addressed by Messrs J. H. Ebbs, M. D. Bryant. J. S. Delaware, J. W. Chaney, H. H. Whigham and C. O. Houston. The discussions terminated in the origin of plans being adopted for the opening of a night school beginning about the first of November at the headquarters of the club, 322 Price street. This school will be for the benefit of thos who on account of circnstances are unable to attend school during the day. At present the classes will not extend above fourth grade. It is the purpose of the club to make the school a model one. At this meeting Mr. John McIntosh, Jr., joined the club. This young man represents the type of young men of which the race should be proud His heart has always been with our work, but on account of his absence from the city he could not join us. He stands ready to aid in the educational and social elevation of the Negro in the community. High Art A. and S. Branch The High Art Aid and Social Branch had its first joint meeting with the H. A. and S. Club Sunday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. C. Patrick, 145 Farm street. The meeting was a very interesting one. Papers were read by Misses Rose Brown and Hattie Dorsey, response was made by Mr. Anderson in behalf of the club. A neat donation was made to the Branch After which choice refreshments were served.. Bob Governor Dead Mr. Robert Governor died at his late residence, 709 Gwinnett street, west on last Saturday. afternoon. The funeral-took place on Monday afternoon from First A. B. Church, Franklin Square of which he recently connected himself. The pall-bearers were selected from among his, many friends of the city. Though he had been sick for some time, he kept on the go until ten weeks ago, his sickness confining him to his home up to the time of his death. He was thirty one years old and a native of this city Quite a number of friends attended the funeral and the floral designs were many and beautiful He survived by a mother, two sisters and two brothers Beth Eden Baptist Church Services were well attended Sunday, Rev. Clarke preached two sermons. An account of his report from the National Baptist Convention would have been a week ago had it not been for the extra work of the Tribune Rev. Clarke made a full report of what went on at the convention from beginning to end; taking up a part of the week's program at the morning service and the other at night. We heard many splendid sermons and addresses from various speakers. These were interspered with jubilee songs and solos as sung at the convention. There was a large attendance both morning and night. In honor of the very excellent report made by Rev. Clarke, being the best of its kind ever given here, and his deep interest and love for the church, which made him devote all of his time to the convention, taking in every session that he might bring back something helpful to us. By motion from Prof. L. B. Thompson the church gave him a unanimous vote of thanks. Services tomorrow as follows. Preaching 11 a. m.; Sunday School 3:15 p. m.; B. Y. P. U. 6:30 p. m.; preaching at 8 p. m. There will be a special program at the B. Y. P. U. services, all are invited.

Also the destructive power of these machines 1s to be taken into con- sideration. Qne of the most remarkable prophe- cles in literature Is that of Alfred Lord Tennyson in his “Locksley Hall.” The famous English poet realized in pre- vision the possibility of the conquest of the air. Tennyson foresaw aerial war- fare when he wrote: For I dipt into the future, far as humax eye could see: Saw the vision of the world-and all the wonder that would be; Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew From the nations’ alry navies grappling in the central blue. The nightmare of England on the outbreak of war was the attack] from the air by Germany's fleet of colossal war aif craft For several years the realization of this possibility has spurred the English to increased effort in the upbullding of their air craft arm of defense. In the war archives of Germany are complete plans for aerial, attacks on both Paris and London. Details for such attacks have been figured out with Metz as the base. For an attack on London they calculated upon leaving Metz as darkness falls, crossing the Ree eg oY SBS tS Sewer! iste pase 8 Bo -Aterapeee aie” J BES pts Maker 2 aay ng E> es fi sa Rad afer e4 bs Sy eras Foe pape aa j Pleo & oe Sofa eels De pe ee ee see Rea Barats Meee Py foe ESR ES Sue Pepa ANS z et, J + RT pate eS ee ee 2 OS, i Bee I Pe FETE ee ‘ Sieg Roto) ee ee Sree Regs ES ERT: Sy ee Oe came es ae Sos oP nace age NR TYPES OF AEROPLANE DESTROYERS. channel dt 2 height of 8,000 feet. Un- der ordinary circumstances London would be gained before midnight. Then the bag would be dropped to 3,000 feet and the work of destruction begun. Its nitroglycerin cartridges could ren- der London helpless in a few hours. The destruction and havoc would be appalling. Furthermore, the English capital fs said to be inadequately pro- tected with searchlights with which to detect a night attack. Attacks on Paris bave been outlined from the same base—Metz Paris {s better protected by sky searchilghts than London. One question which only actual aerial warfare will decide is that of the superiority of aeroplane or dirigible. This is a much mooted question. France has pinned her main faith on the aeroplane, Germany on the dirigi- ble. Alfred W. Lawson, editor of Air- eraft, who recently furnished the war department with a table of Sgures showing approximately the aerial strength of various nations, compares those two types as follows: “Which of the contending forces has the strongest air fleet and what is the relative value between an aero- Plane and a dirigible in war are inter- esting questions, Some of the aero- nautical coftrie contend that the aeroplane will have the advantage in an alr ght while others put their faith in thd dirigible, particularly the Zeppelin rigid type. “There are many points in favor of both types of air craft. The Zeppelin has an approximate lifting capacity of about fifty tons and ts capable of stay- ing up in the air continuously for more than forty-eight hours, It 1s able to cover more than 1,200 miles with a war load and is capable of hovering over any particular point It can carry a more powerful wireless outfit than an aeroplane and also mere men, guns and ammunition. It is able to rise to a height of about 10,000 feet, which is considerably higher than necessary to keep ont of the way of land batteries, in less time than a heavier than air machine. Its speed will run from fifty to sixty miles an hour. | “On the other hand, the aeroplane can climb higher than the dirigible and fiy at greater speed.

A naval engagement with an odd se- quel 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 Lieu- tenant Burrows and the Boxer by Cap- tain Blythe. The battle was on Sept 4, 1812, in the bay not far trom Port Jand, and resulted in the capture of the Boxer, both commanders being kill’ ed. The two vessels were brought into Portland on Sept, 7.

[Prepared by the United States depart- ment of agriculture.] For persons who like novelty in thett food and in their gurdens an interest ing field for experiment {s offered by the new Japanese vegetable, udo. Nurserymen have grown the udo under the name of Aralia cordata for orna. mental purposes for twenty years of more, but as a vegetable it fs still com: paratively unknown. On rich soil it grows to a height of ten feet or more, producing a very ornamental mass of Jarge green leaves and, in the late summer, long, loose flower lusters, sometimes three feet in length. In ap pearance it is much Uke a larger va- riety of the spikenard or petty morel, a native of our woodlands. ‘The blanched shoots of the udo have a characteristic flavor. Properly pre- pared they are delicious, or so the au- thor of bulletin 84, just published by the United States department of agri- culture under the title of “Experiments With Udo, the New Japanese Vege- table,” has found them. ‘The plant re- quires little care and ‘with the same space devoted to it yields approzi- mately the same amount of food for the table as asparagus and is ready for use at about the same time in the spring. After the first frost it dies down each autumn to come up again in the spring, much as asparagus and rhu- barb do. 4 patch of it can be forced each spring for at least six years und probably much longer. Udo growing ts not yet sufficiently general in this country for the most Inexpensive methods of cultivating to bave been worked out, and conditions in America are so different from those in Japan that little benefit can be de- rived from the experience of orlental growers. It is, however, reasonable to assume that the cultivation of the udo presents few difficulties. It fs adapted to a wide range of climate, as is shown by the fact that it grows all over Ja- pan, but no part of Japan suffers from drought. In this country the udo has done best in moist regions, in particu. lar in New England, the Atlantic states as far south as the Carolinas, in the rainy region of Puget sound and in the trucking sections of California. In the cooking of udo there is still abundant room for innovators. In all experiments, however, one thing must be remembered. When raw ‘the stems contain* a resinous substance which gives them a decided and to many per- sons unpleasant taste of pine. It is, however, easy to eliminate this by soaking thin slices of the stems in ice | cold water for an hour or two or by boiling them in two or three waters, as 1s often done with strong flavored veg- etables. : 7 Ob PATE SAYS__=< Cut out all this war talk and get down to business.

The Tribune ts edited by Sol. C. Johnson, who enjoys the confidence not only of those of his own race but others who know him well—Savanngh Press. ° Activities of the colored people of Savannah are described, in a yery in- teresting manner in the Thirtieth An- niversary edition of the Savannah ‘Tribune, a paper that is owned, edit- ed and printed by colored people. Its proprietor “is Sol. C. Johnson. Any- body who knows how much hard work, both mentaly and manualy, is required to issue-a special newspaper edition that is worth while will understand the amount of well directed industry that wns necessary to make this edi- tion possible. It is in four sections of eight pages each. The material with which it is filled is so well se- lected that it shows comprehensively what the cglored population of the city is doing, how progressive it is, for ex- ample, in business and the professions in church, secret society and in edu- cational work. It shows that two in- dividuals and one firm pay taxes on more than $10,000 worth of property each, Not the least interesting state- ment in the soveral special articles in the edition is that by Henry Pear- son, secretary of the faculty of the Georgia State Industrial College: “If the Negro fails in Savannah it will not be for a lack of genuine sym- pathy, unselfish encouragement whole- some advice and material assistance from his white neighbor.”—Savannah Morning News, Along with this may be added that the Editor of the Morning News rang us up and personally congratulated us, and criticized only our modesty in not saying more about ourselves.
