MOST BEAUTIFUL NEGRO
BANK IN THE COUNTRY
Fixtures Most Modern—Furni-
, ture All of Solid Mahogany—
Safe of Latest Idea—Institu-
tion Has Over 5,000 Deposi-
tors—Ladies Retiring Room—
Resources Over $260,000.00.
On Monday from 3 to 8 p. m.
o’clock The Wage Earners Loan
and Investment company will
welcome visitors in their new
bank at the corner of Alice and
West Broad streets. The new
yarters of the bank are un-
htestionably the finest of any
Negro bank in the country and
during visiting hours Monday
the bank officials will, undoubtedly
be kept busy entertaining their
hundreds of callers.
The Wage Earners Loan and
Investment Company isthe second
oldest Negro bankng institution
in, the country. It was organ-
ized in 1900 and the first presi-
dent was the late Albert Jackson.
It began business with $102.00
The bank is capitalized at $50,-
000.00 and of this amount $48,-
417.10 has been paid in, At-the
issuance of the last annual state-
ment this month the combined
assets of the bank were shown
to be $267,646.58. Reserve and
undivided profits amount to $51,-
796.90 and the dividends unpaid
$179.20, with bills — payable
amounting to $34,060.00 and de-
posits of $133,253.38. . 4
The new home of the bank is
elaborately furnished and oc-
cupies the entire ground floor of
their $40,000.00 buildirg which
was finished a little over a month
ago. The building which is only
a block from the Union Station,
is three stories high and is con-
structed of buff brick with
rme stone trimmings. It is:
steam heated and has all of the
modern improvements. The
Pharrow Con’truction Company
of Atlanta, the largest Negro
construction company in this sec-
tion of the country, erected the
building.
The grill work in the bank is of
solid bronze and the woodwork
is of the finest mahogany. The
vainscoting is of Vermont marble
and in appearance the bank is the
equal of any in the city.
The safe embodies the latest
ideas and is burglar proof.
being a Victor screw door safe.
There are several nests of safety
deposit boxes, all of the latest and
most improved style.
One of the most pleasing fea-
tures of the new bank to the la-
dies will be the ladies’ retiring
room. This room is elegantly
fitted up and will doubtless prove
very serviceable.

The Present War in Europe is it Armageddon?
(By Rev. J. W. Manns.)
The absorbing question of whether r the biblical battle of Armageddon is in progress, or is soon to be fought is being considered by many of the leading denominations.
The purpose of this article is to briefly note prophecies concerning some of the great nations to show that the present war in Europe is not the final conflict of the nations, as many believe, though it is doubtless one of the last signs of the battle Armageddon.
This war will subside; Turkey will be expelled from Europe, the United States will do what prophecy foretels. Meanwhile the gospel work will be closed. All the nations of the world will finally clash in the battle of Armageddon, and then the Savior will come.
The symbols used in Daniel 2:7, 8, represent the empires of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome and that all but the first of these powers are again brought to view in the more literal prophecies of chapter 11. The portion of Alexander's kindom which fell to Lysimachus, mentioned in verse 6, as: "the kindom of the north" as shown to finally constitute European Turkey, which power mentioned in verses 40, 44, 45. "He shall plant the tabernacles of his place between the seas in the glorious holy mountain" will soon be fulfilled by the removal of the capital of Turkey from Constantinople to Jerusalem.
The calculation made by Mr. Joseph Litch and published in 1838, showing that Mr. Litch believed that Rev: 9:11, was fulfilled when Othman first entered Nicomedia, on July 27, 1299; that the time period of verses 10 and 15 should be interpreted according to the bible rule of a literal year for prophetic day, thus making 541 years and 15 days after July 27, 1299, which would be Aug. 11, 1840, the independence of Turkey, which power is mentioned in the Sulton of Turkey notified the Pasha of Egypt, with whom he was at war, that if he would not accept terms which had been agreed upon by England, Russia, Austria and Prussia these powers would take the matter into their hands.
Since Aug. 11, 1840 Turkey, the sick man of the East has been kept in existence by the powers of Western Europe in their jealous effort to prevent Russia from carrying out the policy outlined by Peter the Great of seizing and controlling Bosphorus on the Dardanelles.
In Ezekiel 38: 2, and 39: 1, we find that the prophet fotetold that God would be again Gog, the chief prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal. So reads the revised version. Rosh means Russia. In the margin of verse 2, authorized version, we find that God told Russia, "I will draw thee back with a book of six teeth". This reminds me of the Berlin congress of June 13 to 20 1878, when representatives of the six powers viz England, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, and Turkey in the war of 1877-8.
Turkey has been helped many times, But Daniel 11:45 says, "He shall come to his end and none shall help him." The time for the fulfillment of this has often seemed at hand, but at no time have conditions appeared more favorable for Russia than the present.
A most timely and instructive article on the vital question in this European war is quoted from the New York World in the daily Nonpariel on Aug. 5. The writer states that regardless of the minor issues that may arise, the statements in the capitol of the various nations involved will continually bear in mind the two vital questions: "The possibility of Russia becoming so powerful that she can go to Constantinople and stay there, and, the possibility of England becoming so weakened that she can no longer adequately guard her passage to and from through the Mediterranean." Russia must need go through the Bosphorus to get close to her Adriatic possessions. England must need have free passage through the Mediterranean in order to obtain food for sustenance. England will be driven by the desperation engendered by her own perils at the Mediterranean to the point of allowing Russia to now go to Constantinople? This war will answer in part, certainly, perhaps in full.
Fate seems now to have placed Turkey where Russia can drive her out of Europe and no one can help him.
While the dismemberment of Turkey is the last sign to appear according to Daniel 11, 14 and 45 before the convulsion of nations in the final struggle, the time of trouble will be supernaturally delayed, that the angels will still hold the winds of war in check more or less until the last gospel message shall be given, the servants of God sealed, according to Revelation 7: 13. On authority of Revelation 13: 11-18, the United States will yet repudiate the principals of Propestan-
tism and become a despotic power before the battle of Armageddon is fought.
The seven last plagues of Revelation 16 will not fall before the servants of God are all sealed, and that, according to verses 12-16 Asiatic Turkey, whose territory is traversed by the Euphrates river, will come to its end or be dried up, during the six plagues, and that this will prepare the way for, or precipitate, a war in which all nations will be involved and which will end with the battle of Armageddon, the coming of the Lord and the end of the world.
Among the Masons
Among the Masons
THE BALLOT
Masons, of all persons in the world should use discretion, prudence and justice when they go to the ballot box to vote on the acceptance or rejection of a candidate, either for the degrees or for membership.
In a case where membership is asked, the craft should be more careful. If a man is already a Mason, and there is sufficient reason to exclude him from the lodge in which he seeks membership then the member who has authority to vote against such acceptance should acquaint the lodge that the man rejected is unfit to hold his membership in any lodge
The ballot box is no place to vent spleen, ill-feeling, spite or personal grievance. The man who makes use of the ballot for such a purpose is neither an man nor Mason. He is unfit to associate with members of the craft. He takes an undue advantage of a man who has no means of setting himself aright. At the same time, if there is any reason why a candidate should be rejected, every Mason has the inalienable right, and it is his duty to vote against such an applicant. Moral fitness, good reputation and general character are the standards. His position is not to be considered. His creed concerns him and his maker. Mason—Virginia Masonic Journal.
It is a poor policy to make a fuss over a politician in a Masonic lodge because he holds a political job and especially to invite him to a seat in the east, not as a Mason, but a "dog pelter of the first precint," or whatever his official title may be. Toadyism is bad enough anywhere, but in Masonic lodge it is intolerable. There should be at least one place in the world where a man's standing and recognition should not be based on the size of his political pull, and that place is a Masonic lodge—Masonic Chronicle.
Every member of the Masonic fraternity should devote a part of his time to reading Masonic literature. The field is large. The domain of Masonic literature contains the accumulation of ages It is rich in poetry, philosophy, ethics, history and jurisprudence. What the Masonic institution needs is more members, but more reading and thinking members.—Masonic News.
THE DUTIES OF OFFICERS OF LODGES
There are three things which officers of Lodges should feel themselves in honour bound to do viz:
First, they should be in their places promptly, and see that their Lodges are open on time.
Secondly. They should learn and do their work to the very best of their ability. Thirdly. They should be watchful and zealous as to the reputation of their lodges, and should not hesitate to enforce discipline against wilful members. An office in a Masonic Lodge is a post of honour, of responsibility and labor. That officer who fails to do the labour or shirk the responsibility is unworthy of the honour of the position which he occupies. No brother has a moral right to occupy a station and then, by the neglect of the duties which it imposes, greatly inconvenience the members of his Lodge, and thereby injure Freemasonry.
It is an exceedingly reprehensible practice for Masters to be indifferent about opening their Lodges at the appointed. If the brethren want to talk and have a social time, let it be done after and not before Lodge meeting. Then those who want to go home can do so, and no injury is done. I know from personal experience that it decreases attendance upon Lodge meetings for officers to be late or irregular in peoning the Lodges. If you want the interest of the brethren to increase, be sure to be on hand in your station, not about, but upon the exact minute of the time for the opening of the Lodge. Pursue this course and you will be surprised at the increase in the Lodge attendance and interest. Open your lodge on time, and then do your work to the best of your ability. But remember that you cannot do the work without first learning it. If you do not study hard to learn the work, you alone will be responsible for your mortification, as well as the disappointment and disgust of the brethren, at your measurable failure to do the work

of your station in a creditable manner. How can you expect to make good Masons by doing poor work? By carelessness or ignorance on the part of officers, bad impressions are made on the minds of candidates, which are hard to efface afterwards. On the contrary, what can be more interesting, instructive and inspiring than our beautiful work when properly done? Brethren, I appeal to you to appreciate the importance and the dignity of the station to which you have been elevated, and by your prompt attendance upon lodge meetings and the efficient discharge of the duties and work of your respective stations, prove that you are worthy of the honor which your brethren conferred upon you. What think you, is it honest to accept the honor and then not to do the work? To take the pay and then refuse to deliver the goods? Answer these questions by your conduct in the future
While it is true that every effort should be made to reclaim an erring brother, yet officers of lodges should be firm and faerless in, enforcing discipline against violators of the law. To fail to do this is treason to Freemasonry. No man, it matters not who he may be, should be allowed by an immoral life, or drunkardness, or profanity, or by any unmasonic conduct, to degrade our noble fraternity, and tarnish its fair name. On this point make no concessions or compromises. See to it that no camp followers wearing uniforms of Freemasonry, are allowed to hang upon our flanks and prey upon and demoralize our forces or current society.
A great contest is going on in this world between darkness and light. We are seekers after light. We do not want to have in our ranks any who are not willing as true soldiers, to take their places upon the firing. We only want those who will face the dangers stand the hardships in the great battle and onward movement for light which means Truth, Justice, Soberity, Morality, and the uplifting of humanity.—Queensland Freemasonry.

It is hoped the friends of the club will lend their support to the school. Negro Painter Must be Proficient
Tuskegee Institute, Ala., October 26—To paint or not to paint the building, was once a very leading question in the south when new buildings were to be erected, especially frame structures, and the question was pertinent with respect to the front of the brick buildings, for the use of press bricks is comparatively a new feature through the South. But the painter lived along, and got enough work to keep him busy and in good living shape. Now all that is changed. Even country people are using paint, and plenty of it, not only on their residences, but on their barns and outhouses. After the use of whitewash became general the step to the use of paint was a short one.
Painting and paperhanging, for these go together, are one of the trades in which the colored man has held his own all along but which he was forced to divide by the changing order of things, not because of prejudice, but because other men with theory as well as practice, and with intative to suggest colors for paint and figures for paint, have made their presence known in the field. A painter in the South commands good wages, running from $3 to $4 per day, and affording a satisfactory margin on contracts. There is no occasion for colored men giving up their trade in the South; nor will they be called on to surrender it if they can compete with the white painter not only as to price, but as to good work.
The painting division at Tuskegee Institute is one of the most important divisions in the industrial department, for everything at Tuskegee is painted, inside and out, and the student who takes the three years course gets full knowledge and full practice. House painting and sign painting wagon painting, with plenty of each to paint; history of wall paper, and preparation for wall papering; stain and varnish work; glazing, the mixing of lead and the use of shellac; grain and marble.work; floorwaxing and kalsomining are all included in the theory and taught in the practice. Coach painting is taught along with exterior and interior painting. "The man with the brush" with a Tuskegee certificate usually has more jobs than he can handle alone.
It will be recalled by Savannahians that one of the heads of the house and sign painting department at Tuskegee Institute is a Savannah man, Prof. Edward J, Bruce. During Mr. Bruce's stay here last summer he was secured to do the lettering on the Wage Earners new bank building.

For the past several months the Negro Business League, through the weekly letters, have put forth its best endeavors to impress all of the people, in a general way, and the readers of The Tribune in particular, with the importance of of Negroes doing business with Negroes. Our efforts in this regard have been very favorably commented upon by many of the thoughtful business and professional men and women who know the value of printer's ink when judiciously and systamatically applied. They know that printer's ink when applied by a steady hand and well poised head, is a power to reckon with in civilized communities, in the way of moulding sentiment against the object of its attack. Therefore in this letter, it shall be our aim to call attention to a few of the essential things which we believe to be absolutely necessary to the success of any business anywhere, conducted by any people. We trust that the needed improvements, hinted at in this letter, will be made for our mutual helpfulness, so that there will be 'no excuses for our own kith and kin passing us by and taking his business to the other fellow.
PERSONAL ATTENTION
We, the representatives of the various business interests among our people in this particular community, would do well to give our personal attention to the most minute details of the particular interest represented by us. We should see to it that our stores, offices, barber shops, banks, play houses and what not, be kept up to the high standard set by the other fellow, who, in the majority of cases, is succeeding in similar businesses. We should see to it that uniformed politeness, which is so cheap, be one of the established rules in our businesses.
CLEANLINESS
An ordinary broom and feather duster will almost invariably add much to the appearance of a stock of goods in a store, or the furniture and fixtures in an office, when they have been properly used by a pains-taking store-keeper or a clerk in an office. We, as store keepers should see to it, that when our stock has been broken, and the appearance of our shelving goods becomes somewhat ragged, a few minutes be spent behind the counter straightening up the stock which will pay handsomely on the time invested.
Every one likes to go into and patronize a well kept, clean, attractive, well lighted place of business.
THOUGHTFULNESS
When a customer with money to spend walks into a Negro place of business and calls for an article of food or dress not kept in this particular place of business, the call in itself should suggest to the proprietor or manager that there is a growing demand by those he wishes to make customers of for this article, and if it can be had in the market, put it in stock,
When one of our customers or patrons who pays his or her bills comes into our place of business and calls for an article of food, wares, dress, medicine or what not and we per chance be out of such article for the time being, we should make it known to the customer, then and there, if such an article can be found in the market that his or her wants shall be supplied, and the article in question sent to his or her address. This is exactly what the other fellow does and we must do likewise if we would succeed.
BUSINESS DIPLOMACY
What we lack in visible stock may be made up in giving to each customer our personal attention as far as practicable; add to this a few grains of cleanliness, followed closely by a little thoughtfulness, mixed with a few ounces of accommodation, will cure the ordi-
nary ills of the most of our business diseases.
These are a few of the principles of good common business sense that the Negro Business League, which meets the first Wednesday and the third Friday night in each month at its headquarters, 458 West Broad street, is attempting to inculcate into the Negro business men of the city.

With Miss O. L. Haynes presiding, the regular monthly meeting of the Allen Christian Endeavor Union League met at Monumental church, New street, Sunday at 5 o'clock p. m. Scripture reading was by Miss L. G. Ballard. The subject under discussion "A Saloonless Nation; why not? how?" was opened by Mrs. L. Drayton followed by Jesse Brinson, F H. Thomas, B. S. Reed Rev. R. H. Singleton; Mrs. Janie Williams and others. The discussion was lively. The league was then favored by a solo by Miss Bell Brown followed by recitations by Mrs. Blanch Hamilton, Mrs. Frances Mason, and a chorus by a group of little children led by Miss Blanch Hamilton. Rev. N. Berry was introduced to the league and made some timely remarks. The resignation of Mrs. M. I. Smith, president, was read by the secretary. In honor to Mrs. Smith, there was a motion by Mr. Jesse Brinson to only receive the resignation as information and allow Mrs. Smith to hold the presidency the remainder of the term. The motion prevailed, having met the approval of all. Mrs. Smith's absense is caused by the recent death in her family and also the present illness. Next meeting of the League at St. Philip church, West Broad and Charles streets, Sunday November 15th, at 5 o'clock p. m. The public is invited to be present and join in the discussion of the topic, "Magnifying the Christian Endeavor Pledge." Eccl. 5:1-7.

Unwise to fume and time consume When men backbite and hate you. With zeal and zest just do your best; Your deeds will justly rate you.
The carper's talk should never balk The man who has employment. Be calm and hold and save your gold And you'll have real enjoyment.
Withstand the gale and you'll have kale When slanderers are begging. Sorrows the less, but more success If you'll persist in pegging.
Pray: what's the use to heed abuse?
It brings no joy nor money.
If loon you hear or fools you fleer,
Its toil that makes the honey.
Men have achieved who never grieved.
Though fools and knaves were taunting
They toiled away and won the fray,
No opposition daunting
Columbus toiled, though others foiled.
And said his views were rotten.
Immortal fame clings to his name.
His foes dead and forgotten.

From present indications, there is every reason to believe that the Republican Party, the Grand Old Party, the party of Lincoln, Garrison and Sumner will come again into her own, the control of governmental affairs in this country, as a result of the coming elections. Badly beaten at the last presidential election, it was naturally supposed that the party had seen its palmiest days. Those who rejoiced in its defeat bowed their heads low to the ground in the hope that they would hear its swan song. And they really believed that they heard the song. How sadly mistaken they undoubtedly were. In a little less than two years, the party which ran a poor third in the last presidential elections now threatens to gain control again in governmental affairs. If we read the signs correctly, therepublican party will again control both houses of congress by virtue of the coming elections, all predictions and statements of the democrats and progressives to the contrary notwithstanding. The voters through out the country have long since realized that the republican way of handling the tariff and similar matters is the only way that will keep the prosperity of the country above the surface. Under the republican regime, there is no need for extra taxation. The voters know this now better than ever before. We believe that they will show that the above is their belief in the coming elections. Our prediction is Republican successes in the coming elections. Let us watch the signs.
That a woman can defend her virtue from men much easier than she can protect her reputation from women, is unquestionably true, if the present effort of a number of women in our midst who regard themselves as members of the socalled elite, is to be taken as a criterion of the work of the professional gossipier. Why it is we cannot tell, nevertheless, there has existed for a long time among some of our so-called society women a seemingly irresistible disposition or tendency to gossip indiscriminately and with impunity anent others of their sex. Social calls and the like which ought to be absolutely free from such harbingers of misunderstanding and disputes, are too often used as a means by these gossippers to get in their most telling work. The so-called sociables, private teas, and parties, instead of being what their names imply, an agency for social intercourse and companionship, are, too frequently, we are told, converted into a gossipping confab by these fortunate individuals who ply their wares, wax and grow fat on "news" as they call it, that they disseminate anent their sister creatures. That there exists such creatures among us, whose chief stock in trade is news dissemination concerning their neighbors and others, there can be no doubt. The work of these news-mongers has, been too widespread to have escaped the notice of even the most casual observer. That there exists such a class of people among us and too, of acknowledged intelligence in a good many instances, brings about a condition not only unfortunate but to be deplored. There is absolutely no need among us forthe gossipier or news monger. And this species of female vampire, more deadly than the male in most cases, ought to be relegated to the rear by the others of our women folks. They should be made to understand that they ought to let alone people's business, so much so, that when they begin their round of "news", most times lies of the very first water,
they will be unable to find respective audience among those whom they seek. It is a true saying that people in glass houses should never throw stones. This may be forcefully applied to the gossippers, for it is generally agreed that those who gossip most are those who are fit subjects for the gossippers. The Tribune would like to note an abatement of this unnecessary evil among us. It would like to see the intelligent women of our race take a prominent stand against these evil doers. They should be made to understand that tearing down one's reputation by means of unfounded or uncalled for lies, is a practice that is to be no longer tolerated in our community. Yes, we say away with the gossiper, whether in the sewing circle, at the tea party, in the private home, on the streets or anywhere, Meanwhile we leave this preachment as a reminder to the gossippers, that he only who is most worthy should at any time cast stones.
Anniversary Edition Praised
The following is what Prof. Monroe N. Work, of Tuskegee Institute, editor of the Negro Year Book, says of the Tribune's anniversary edition.
"I write to express my appreciation of the thirtieth anniversary issue of the Tribune I was especially interested in the valuable information that was given concerning the past history and present conditions of the Negroes of Savannah I congratulate you upon the success of this undertaking".
Miss Nancy E. Barnard and Mr. Edw. J. Williams were joined in marriage on last Wednesday night at the bride's residence, 528 Nicoll street. Rev. Ed. Davis, pastor of First Tabernacle Baptist Church, performed the ceremony. Only relatives and a few intimate friends were present. Miss Barnard has been for many years connected with the Tribune office.
All of the plans and buildings for the First District Fair which is to be held at the Fair grounds, a little south of the city, on the Isle of Hope car line November 18-28 have been completed and the affair promises to be the most attractive exhibition of products raised in this and surrounding counties ever gathered together in this part of the state and also to contain the most genuine amusement features ever seen here. Farmers from every section of this part of the state are going to send samples of their pride products and those who avail themselves of this opportunity of witnessing the fair will see some of the finest vegetables, stock and the like raised in the South. The midway features will of corse, provide many amusement features. There will be a wild west show, a wonder land, dog and pony show, Indian mystery, a plantation show, the famous Georgia Minstrel and many other things which will amuse the thousands of white and Negro citizens who attend the fair. There will be several free shows and numerous spirited horse races.
What Urban League Has Done
(Continued from Page One) visit to the city of Mr. Eugene Kinckle Jones, Associate Director of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, at whose Instance the work was begun.
Membership
From the very start, an enthusiasm, highly noteworthy and unselfish, has characterized those who make up the membership of the Local League, among whom are numbered all classes of our citizens Here a high sense of altruism and humanitarian interest has shown itself in effective cooperative effort in the accomplishment of Christian work. The dollar-a-year membership fee enables any who may be moved by charitable motives to enlist in the cause.
Conscientious corps of officials and commitment having been appointed the new branch began its work in a city and among people too long neglected and sadly in need of such an agency. Here we enumerate, with a humble pride, some of the work of the year.
Christmas Fund
Immediately after permanent organization was effected, it was decided to raise a Christmas fund for distribution among the poor of the city. $552.10 in cash with other supplies was raised. 700 families were supplied with Christmas cheer, which, in the absence of this agency, they, perhaps, would have been denied. This effort and the success it achieve, alone more (Continued on Page Suven)
Deaths
The many friends of Mrs. Anna Major Jackson, of Gomez, Fla. will be grieved to hear of her sudden death which occurred on the 21 inst. Mrs. Jackson was a graduate of Beach Institute in the class of 1905. She is survived by her husband, Mr. J. A. Jackson, father, Mr. N. Major, and three children.
Mrs. Emma Major, recently of 317 Huntingdon street, west, who was taken to her home, Herndon, Ga., seriously sick last month by her brother, died there on the 12th, of this mouth.
A Leader Fallen in Israel
THE MASTER
Mr. Jacob B. Simmons, who departed this life in the 18th inst., was born in Walterborough, S.C., 34 years ago. From early boyhood he showed a particular aptness for business and at a very early age was associated in business with two of his brothers, A J. and H. S. Simmons on the other side of the Savannah river. Mr. Simmons came Savannah about 15 years ago and immediately got into the hearts of the people and was always interested in any movement which meant progress among our people. Mr. Simmons in coming to Savannah accepted a position with the Pulaski Hotel Company as night porter, and for several years he held same until about a year ago, his health failed and he gave up to attend to his own place of business at Harris and East Broad streets, where he had a very prosperous ice cream parlor and confectionery store. He was also in the tailoring business on the corner of Macon and East Broad streets, which is doing a successful business. He was never content with present attainment and was always reaching out to render assistance to others. His well appointed cafe and ice cream parlor became famous for its excellence in service, where he gave employment to many of our young people. Mr. Simmons was a young man of pleasing qualities, and to know him and to associate with him was only to regard him as a man of high character. He was a member of St. Paul C. M.E. church and it was mainly through his personal effort that St. Paul stands today such a beautiful edifice. He was chairman of the board of trustees. The funeral services were at St. Paul church on Tuesday night of last week and the many beautiful floral offerings told in unspeakable terms the esteem in which he was held by the people generally. Rev. J. A. Martin, pastor of the church, and Rev. S. T. Redd, of the Presbyterian church, officiated at the funeral. The pastor spoke highly of Mr. Simmons, as did Rev. Redd. At the time of his death, Mr. Simmons was a member of Advance Lodge K. of P. and other secret organizations. His life reminds one of the passage which reads, "Mark' the perfect man and behold the upright for the end of that man is Peace." Mr. Simmons leaves, to mourn his death, four brothers, a loving wife, and two sisters as follows: Mr A J. Simmons of Charleston, S.C., Mr. H.S. and Wm. Simmons of Savannah, and Prof. C. C. Simmons of Jackson, Arizona; sisters, Mrs. Jennie Murry and Mrs. Josephine More of Savannah. The remains were taken from the church after the funeral services to the Monroe's undertaking parlors and early Wednesday morning were escorted by the family and a few friends to its last resting place in the family cemetery at Walterborough S.C., where they were intered by the side of his mother.—Ad.
Mr. James C. Keller died very suddenly at the residence of his uncle, Mr. A. L. Bradwell 19 Lumber St., on September 27th. His death was a shock to his relatives as he was very well up to his death. Mr. Keller went to bed as usual on Saturday night feeling very well and in good spirit, but at 3:30 o'clock in, the morning his family was aroused by groans. Everything was done to give him relief but he expired in a few minutes. Mr. Keller was born in 1863 ele en miles from the city on the Ag ta road. The Funeral service was conducted by Rev. J. L. Taylor, pts.
tor of St. Stephens Church. His remains were ship to his home in Newport, R, I., on the 30th, of last month, accompanied by his sister in-law. Mrs. Maggie Stiles. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Georgia Keller and uncle. Mr. Adam L. Bradwell and aunt Mrs. Jannie Steward and other relatives and friends.
FIRST NEGRO CLUB IN CITY TO ASSIST FARMERS
Two Bales on Exhibition in Club's Windows-Other Organizations Will Probably Join Movement. While there have been several individual Negroes in the city to join the "Buy-a-bale of cotton" movement by purchasing one or more bales of the South's leading production, yet it was left to the Eureka Aid and Athletic Club to be the first Negro organization here to become identified with this movement which is helping to tide over the farmers during these stringent times.
To the credit of this organization, as may also be said of a few others, the Eurekas seldom allow a chance to do good to slip by, and when a member suggested buying a bale of cotton the club immediately saw the wisdom of doing so and decided to do a little buying themselves. So during the week, two bales of cotton were purchased at the prevailing price, and they are now on exhibition in the windows of the club's quarters on the ground floor of the Masonic Temple, Gwinnett street, west. Much attention is being attracted by the recent move of the Eurekas and it is stated that several other organizations contemplate joining the movement during the week. The Eurekas are one of the leading clubs in the city and are headed by Mr. W. H, Norman.
SCHOOL CHILDREN MIX UP
Henry and West Broad Sts. Had one been in the neighborhood of West Broad and Henry streets on Thursday of last week at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon he might have thought that the scene of the present European struggle had shifted to this city, for a couple of hundred white and colored school children were mixing it up in a sort of general fight.
It seems that during the early part of the week several colored children returning home from the Cuyler Street school became involved with some white children from the Henry Street school, and the general scrap Thursday was the result. None of the children was seriously hurt, so far as can be learned, but much excitement was caused by the fights. On Friday of last week there were a few little brushes between the children, but the arrival of police officers and a few teachers from the Cuyler Street school, who were on their way home, prevented a reoccurrence of the previous day's fight. Since that time peace seems to reign and the children wend their way home as peacefully as ever.
Horton's School Crowded
Mrs. Georgia A. Horton's school, Anderson and Reynolds streets, began its fall term Monday Oct. 5th, with crowded quarters. All grades are well filled, a few more can be accommodated in the 4th and 5th grades. As in past years, the trustees have made provisions for a limited number in the free department. A few more children whose parents are in straightened circumstances, or orphans, can be admitted to this department by applying to Revs.M. Battles and W.H. Jackson, trustees; Mrs. Estella Wright and Mrs. Georgia A. Horton, teachers.
Boxing Contest
A fifteen round boxing contest will be pulled off at the Southern Athletic Club, Broughton street, east on next Wednesday night between Hock Bones and Kyle Whitney and it will undoubtedly be well worth the pree of admission. Both of the combatants are finished fighters and are well up in the fighting game. The bout between Bones and Whitney staged at the Liberty theatre several months ago was the fastest and best ever pulled off in this city and it goes without saying that the lovers of the fistic arena will again be given an opportunity of witnessing a fast contest. The semi-windup will be between Walter Johnson and Kid Williarr both of whom are good local fighters. The admission will be 20 cents and $7.00.

WEEKLY NEWS FROM THE CHURCHES OF THE CITY
First Bryan Baptist Church
The attendance at church on Sunday was exceedingly large; after morning service, was baptism. A large number of visiting ministers deacons, and members were present at communion. At night, Rev. Wright read for the lesson, Job 38: 1-18. The text was from Job 38: 17; the subject was "Hast thou seen the door of the shadow of death?" The sermon was filled with many beautiful lessons. The choir sang "Just uhink of His goodness to me." The topic of the B. Y. P. U.'s lesson was very plainly discussed and illustrated by Mr. Byrd. The closing remarks by the president. Mr. A. B.

St. Benedict's Church.
On the first of November the Catholic church is celebrating the festival of All Saint's Day. This solemn feast was established to honor God in all his saints, to put us in lively remembrance of the communion of saints and to encourage us to strive for the sanctity with them. At St. Benedict's church the morning services will be 7, 8, and 10:30 a.m. and the night devotions at 8 p.m. Our choir will render, during high mass and evening service, the usual beautiful musical selections.

The dedication of St. Peter's chapel and school of Macon took place on last Sunday in presence of many members friends and visit, ors who came from Savannahs Augusta and Atlanta to witness that very inspiring beautiful ceremony.
than justitifies the existence of the body. It would have inspired the heart of the most cold blooded and indifferent to have seen the association members, the women in particular, at this work. Groceries, wood, shoes and clothing were given. Of $552.10 raised, the colored people gave $484.05 and white friends $68.05. Wood for the Poor During the severely cold weather of January and February of last winter, forty-three families were supplied with wood, from a fund distributed through the Associated Charities of this city.
Clothing for the Poor
During the winter season, several supplies of old clothes, bedding, etc. contributed by Prof. Roland of Beach Institute (A. M. A.) and others; were distributed to the needy families.
Yard Cleaning·Contest
During the spring and early summer in conjunction with The Huntingdon Club (composed of the most prominent white ladies of Savannah), a yard cleaning contest was inaugurated. Eighty persons entered the contest, our ladies making inspections of the entries every ten days. $25.00 in prizes was offered, our branch contributing $5.00 of this amount. The influence of this campaign, was far reaching, the moral effect on all concerned was splendid, and much good was accomplished.
Cases Investigated
Several cases of needy persons were investigated for the Associate Charities, with the result that the deserving ones were cared for by that association in accordance with our findings.
Boys' Clubs
During the spring and summer, through the Boys' Club committee, the inter-scholastic Baseball League (for boys up to 18 years of age) was formed The league was made up of the clubs representing the principal grammar schools and Beach Institute This work was wholly in th hands of our committee and an excellent schedule of play, leading to a championship (won by Beach Institute) was carried out. These teams were equipped through money raised by our committee, from the business men of the city.
Girls' Clubs
Three separate sewing circles, located in different sections of the city, have been organized for girls, with a total enrollment of about 100 members. Meetings, supervised by a committee are held. The ladies report splendid results from this work. These humble girls were given an outing in August, the first of its kind many have ever attended.
Big Sisters
Personal visits have been made to wayward girls and helpful suggestions given with good results. Several cases were cared for and investigated, for Associate Charities.
Adult Meetings
The committee known as the Sunshine Workers, cannot be given too much praise, headed by its indefatigable, experienced and faithful chairman. They have made 509 visits. The cases were various where sympathy, help and encouragement were needed. Donations were given in many cases; prayers offered; assistance given in paying rent; nourishment given to the sick and numerous acts of charity extended. Two, Mother's Clubs were formed. This committee alone planned and solicited donations to give the old people an outing to Cattle Park in July. 47 were taken out. This was one of the best efforts and much praise was extended the committee.
Public Meeting Place of the Association
Through the kindness of Bishop F.
F. Reese of the Episcopal Church, a
building on West Broad St., and well
located for our purpose has been given
for social work, rent free. This is
now being put in shape at a cost of
$100.00. It will be used for meetings,
a day nursery and a boys' gymnasium.
Kindergarten
Our branch has given considerable thought to the admissibility of establishing a free kindergarten in one of the neglected sections of the city. We find this is one of our greatest needs, but the want of funds has made impossible up to this date, the inauguration of the work. If we could secure a donation of not less than $200.00 per term we would be able to raise the balance necessary to secure and fit up the proper place. We pray earnestly that some charitably disposed friend or friends will see to it that we get the help we need.
Branch Meeting
Our executive committee has never failed to hold its regular monthly meetings, at which time review of the work and plans for all departments are gone over. Our quarterly meetings have been held regularly and have been well attended.
Juvenile Delinquency
Early in the year our committee consisting of some of the leading ministers and laymen of the city, called upon the Judges of the several courts, to solicit
their sympathy and cooperation in an effort to help the many boys and girls who are convicted of petty offences against the law and sentenced to the Poor Farm.
Our committee found every sympathy and interest manifested by these men as well as on the part of the County Commissioners, who very gladly acceded to the request of our committee that they permit regular religious services on Sunday and provide a teacher to instruct the boys during the week. The teacher was selected from our association and being a lady of wide experience in educational reform work will succeed in doing much good here.
Through Mr. Eugene Kinckle Jones, we were communicated by his Dr. J. P. Wrogg, Agent Secretary for the American Bible Society. He very kindly presented several testaments and leaflets for boys. The American Sunday School Union has also promised to double leaflets for the Sunday School use. Too much praise cannot be given Mrs. Rachel Moore who is in charge of this work alone.
Lectures on Health and Sanitation
Lectures on Health and Sanitation Under the auspices of our Branch one of the leading physicians of the city is leading in a campaign of health sanitation. At regular periods he is delivering an illustrated lecture on tuberculosis and other preventable diseases, at the various churches, beginning at the smaller churches in the outlying sections of the city. Crowded houses are greeting him and we are very hopeful of these results.
Work Appreciated
We are highly pleased to announce that our efforts have met with a generous cooperation on the part of all the people and a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation on the part of those for whom these efforts were made. We feel that "there is some good in all men", and that the proper agency employing the proper methods, will be able to get hold of good and develop it. Our efforts have been rewarded and our labors lightened by many evidences of appreciation and we feel encouraged to go forward in the new year with redoubled energy.
There has been the most unselfish and harmonious cooperation on the part of the members, with the officers and with each other, and internally there has been no semblance of the unpleasant, and we have seen so truthfully, that "charity vainteh not itself, doth behave itself unseemingly...
Future Plans
We are bent on establishing the Day Nursery and Kindergarten features, mentioned above, during the coming year. Inexperience and lack of time, and the need of many more faithful workers, have been some little hindrance to a more abundant success.
Thanks
We extend sincere thanks to each and every person who has given the least donation and especially to the several firms that so liberally responded to the call of the various committees.
Withal, however, we feel that God has wonderfully and bountifully blessed us and caused our efforts to be crowned with a rich success, and if we have made any heart lighter, relieved any suffering soul, sent any sunshine into a dark corner, caused hope to spring up in the breast of anydiscouraged and dispondent fellow-creature, made one stroke to break the bonds of ignorance and superstition we must feel we have a just and generous recompense for all our striving—for like the Master, surely, we came, "not to be ministered unto but to minister," and to give our means and labor to the services of others.
School Discontinued
Mr. Editor:—Please allow us through your columns to return thanks to the ministers and members of the churches in Savannah for the assistance rendered us in disposing of our literature in the interest of our school at Newberry, Fla. Our school being in a phosphate mining section; and the European war having caused all the mines to close down at Newberry, as well as other parts of Florida, and as the financial condition of the patrons of the school depends almost entirely upon the running of the mines, we, therefore will not open the school in November, as scheduled, but we shall continue to work to meet the payments on the property till times are better, when we shall open again.
Very truly Prof. and Mrs. C. C. Williams.
