The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXX DISTRICT FAIROPENS WEDNESDAY DISTRICT FAIROPENS WEDNESDAY VARIETY OF SPLENDID EXHIBITS TO BE SHOWN. Thousands of Persons Expected To Visit Fair—Agricultural, Industrial, and Live Stock Exhibits to be Best Ever Seen In This Section—Many. Negro Farmers Will Doubtless be Attracted. Preperations for the First Georgia District Fair which is to be held at the fair grounds just south of the city on Waters Avenue have now been completed and the grand opening on Wednesday of next week, the 18th, will doubtless attract many visitors to the city. In fact, during the ten days the fair will last, it is expected that at least 50,000 persons, the majority of whom live in this and adjoining counties, will be attracted to the city. Interest in the fair has been spread throughout the state and the management has succeeded in getting together the finest exhibits of agricultural products, poultry, live stock and industrial displays ever shown in this section of the state. One of the principle features of the fair will be the agricultural building, which covers a space 400 feet long by fifty-six feet wide, and will contain hundreds of prize agricultural products raised not only in this section but throughout the entire state. The displays in this building will take up a space approximating six hundred feet, the exhibits being arranged on either side of the building. While the Chatham county products will be featured at the fair those coming from other parts of the state will be given due prominence and the entire display will be well worth seeing. To the lovers of poultry, the fowl display will attract wide attention. Many of the well known poultry fanciers will display their prize birds and there will be much rivalry among the exhibitors for the prizes offered. Several of the local poultry lovers will be among the exhibitors. This/exhibit will begin Saturday, Nov. 21, and there will be no fee charged for entering. All poultry fanciers are invited to take part Another interesting feature of the fair will be the live stock department. Many of the finest horses, cows, sheep, hogs, and other animals raised in the state will be exhibited, and those who take delight in looking at fine stock will have an opportunity of spendings many pleasant hours viewing the large exhibit of fine stock which will be shown at this fair The 2,000 feet of midway will be alive with attractions to please all tastes. The Somali Village from Abyssinia, Africa, will be there, an exact reproduction of these people in their native wilds. The men are well built, muscular, with quantities of long bushy hair, of which they are very proud. The women, too, are proud of their charms, and make elaborate toilets in their own peculiar way. The Somali warriors give wonderful exhibitions of spear-throwing, war dances, etc., in illustration of their wild characteristics. This village from the far forest of Africa will prove well worth exploring. Major Rhodes' Big Wild West show is booked to come here, also Hamiltons Side Show, which occupies 150 feet front; a good plantation show; Gilmore's Famous Reptile Aggregation, ostrich farm in connection with free ostrich races will be held on the race tract every afternoon; ferris wheel, hippodrome, autodrome, motordrome, and auto polo. There will be a big lion show, a midget horse, an athletic show of the highest class, "Trip to Mars," merry-go-rounds, and many attractions. Dion's freak show contains some of the most marvellous animal freaks ever shown, among them Alice, a freak cow, with "human skin," the smallest mule in existence, and many others, as well as a high-class vaudeville show. Wednesday, November 25, has been set aside, in conjunction Furnished by the National Negro Business League A Thought for the week.—Now is the time to begin planning for the Christmas trade. On account of the War America will not be able to import novelties from Germany and France. Thus we depend upon the American manufacturer for our Christmas gifts. The colored business man should make his plans now to to take advantage of this condition and he should not forget the Negro manufacturer. Negro dolls may be purchased in Nashville, Overton's Toilet Articles from Chicago, and Patterson Buggies from Greenfield—just think of the thousands who can be made happy from these factories if our business men push their goods at this time. Then don't forget those 'splendid books by Negro authors. They are so appropriate as gifts. A large number of colored people were employed as demonstrators during the great Edison Electrical Exposition which was at Grand Central Palace New York City. The Y. M. C. A. of Indianapolis has inaugurated a night school where barbers, bootblacks, porters, janitors and flatmen are instructed in their line of work. 250 Negro farmers of Sumter County in South Carolina met recently and adopted resolutions to reduce next year's acreage of cotton by at least 50 per cent. Much interest is being manifested in the subscription contest now being conducted by the Richmond Planet, the Atlanta Independent and Columbia Herald. The Savannah (Ga.) Branch of the Negro Business League is very active. Their weekly notes in the Savannah Tribune are interesting and helpful. Recently, they entertained Mr. C. C. Spaulding, general manager of the N. C. Mutual Insurance Co., of Durham N. C., and Mr. J. L. Wheeler, Georgia State agent for the same company. The Nashville Globe has joined the Buy-A-Bale Movement. Chicago is to have a school of floral designing, the first of its kind in the country. An enterprising colored woman is at the head of it. Madam Walker, the well known hair culturist, has purchased the home of the late Bishop Derrick, located in flushing, N. Y., for $50,000. She will make this her future home. The Royal Messenger, the official organ of the Royal Circle of Friends of the world, with headquarters at Helena, Ark., announces that this fraternal organization has established a "loan feature" for its members. The purpose is to help them out during the present financial stress. The Messenger also published eleven rules to secure "good attendance" at the Circle meetings. Every colored, fraternal organization would do well to copy and follow them. The Wage Earners Bank of Savannah Ga., one of the pioneer Negro Banks of this country, has just moved into its new$40,000 building. with the three visiting counties named above, as Orphan Day, when all the orphans of the city will be invited to come out, and the fair grounds will be thrown open to them. Children's Day is to be made a gala day for every child in the city. One of the interesting features to lovers of horse races will be the many close brushes between horses which will take place every day. Some of the fastest race horses in the state will compete and many excitingly close races are looked for. The Savannah Electric Company has decided to make a fare of five cents to the grounds from any part of the city during the period of the fair. Plenty of cars will be run to serve the crowds with facility and speed, and the entrance will be on the Isle of Hope car line. Among the half hundred thousand persons who will doubtless attend the fair will probably be many Negro farmers from this and surrounding counties and the management wishes it known that all classes of citizens will receive a cordial welcome. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 14TH 1914 J Prof. J. W. Gilbert, who will lectu re at St. Paul Church Friday night PROF. J. W. GILBERT TO SPEAK NEXT FRIDAY Will Tell of His Experiences in Traveling Over 2100 Miles In The Dark Continent—Large Crowd Expected At St. Paul A lecture in which much interest is being manifested in that which takes place on next Friday night at St. Paul C. M. E. Church at 8 o'clock. Prof. J. W. Gilbert of Payne College, Augusta, who is to deliver the lecture is one of the most forceful speakers in the Colored Methodist church and in his lecture Monday night, will speak on "Path Finding in the Jungles of Afrika for Two Races. Prof. Gilbert was the first missionary sent to Africa, by the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. During his stay there, he in company with Bishop Lambirth, traversed 2100 miles into the interior of the continent and learned much of the habits and customs of the inhabitants. Aside from being well acquainted with the natives of certain portions of "dark continent", Prof. Gilbert has spent several years in Athens, Greece, and is one of the most highly educated Negroes in the country. The lecture of Friday night is free and it is likely that a large crowd will be on hand, to listen to this highly entertaining address of Prof. Gilbert. Thos. Young Installs New Shoe Repairing Machinery Whether it was from the advice given out by Dr. Booker T. Washington some weeks ago that Negro shoe makers install up-to-date machinery in their shops or whether his growing trade suggested it to him, we do not know, but there is at least one Negro shoe maker here who has fitted his shop up with the most improved equipment. He is Thos. G. Young of 123 Drayton street. During the past few weeks Mr. Young installed a Champion shoe finishing shaft and sewing machine and his shop now affords as up-to-date machinery as can be found in the city. The installing of this new piece of machinery enables Mr. Young to better serve his many patrons and makes his shop one of the most up-to-date in the city. Mr. Young is one of the progressive young Negro business men here. He has been in the business about five years and employs two shoe-makers at his shop. Aside from running the shoe shop, he also conducts a clothes cleaning estab- Are the Dancing Classes Hurting? SEVERAL LEADING SOCIAL CLUBS SAY, YES. Claim that Their Annual Balls And Banquets are Being Affected by Low Price of Admission of Dancing Classes. Rumor has it that several of the social organizations of the city are going to wage a fight on the many dancing classes that are being conducted at the various halls and a fight between the leaders of the clubs and the managers of the dancing classes is looked for. The dancing classes, some of which begin in the afternoon and continue until midnight, charge a much lower admission fee than is paid at the balls and banquets of the clubs and because of this fact the latter have fallen off considerably in attendance. The dancing classes claim a perfect right to hold their afternoon and evening dances and charge whatever admission fee they desire, and further, that if the balls and banquets are being affected by them it is no fault of theirs. The clubs, on the other hand, criticize the dancing classes for placing their nightly admission fee so low, thereby causing many of the regular patrons of the balls to refuse payment of the usual 25 or 35 cents admission. A very appreciable drop in attendance has been experienced by several of the leading social organizations at balls which they have given recently and this is attributed to the fact that the dancing classes, on account of their low price of admission, are the cause. The clubs claim that a boycoff is going to be instituted at a point where the dancing classes will feel it severely. In the meantime the leaders of the dancing classes are saying bit little and so far the agitation against them has not seemed to affect materially their attendance. Engagement Announcement Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Tucker announce the engagement of their daughter Anna Toliver, to Dr. Clarence Everett Brent, formerly of Washington, D. C.. The wedding to take place Dec. 29th. lishment at the same place and employs an experienced man in this department. He has been working at the shoe-maker's trade for twenty-one years and is one of the finest workmen in the city. His many friends and patrons will be pleased to learn of the new equipment which Mr. Young has installed in his shop. "My Old Kentucky Home" on the List. Boston, Nov. 12.—The old plantation songs, "My Old Kentucky Home," "Oh, Susannah," "Massa in de Cold, Cold Ground," are insults to the Negro race, according to speakers, Negro and white, who appear to day at a hearing before the Boston school committee. As a result of their protest the committee voted immediately to withdraw from the school book of forty songs recently compiled by the musical director. The objections to the songs were based partly on the use of the words "darkey" "nigger," and "coon." Debate Attracted Large Crowd. The debate under the auspices of the Nergo Business League, Charity Hospital, the Old Folks Home and the Urban League which was held at St. Philip Church, Charles and West Broad streets on Friday night of last week, was attended by a large crowd and was very interesting. The speakers, Rev. R. H. Singleton, Rev. J. L. Taylor, Dr. B. W. S. Daniels and Mr. E. W Houstoun showed thorough knowledge of the subject, which was resolved, "That Germany was justified in declaring war upon the allies". No decision was rendered as there were no judges and the audience seemed about evenly divided as to the winners. Rev. S. T. Redd acted as master of ceremonies. About four hundred persons attended the debate. Jeptha and His Daughter Jeptha and His Daughter will be presented at St. James Church, Randolph and Perry streets, Monday night Nov. 16th, by St. Philip's Musical Club. This will be the last rendition of this play and those who have not availed themselves of the opportunity of seeing the play may do so by coming out Monday night. Y. M. C. A. and Its Members The Young Men's Christian Association held an interesting meeting on last Sunday. Over fifty were present. The address of Prof. J. W. Hubert, principal of the Cuyler Street School, so teemed with kindly suggestions and advice, that it created genuine Y. M. C. A. enthusiasm among the members present. An interesting article on the city Y. M. C. A. movement among the colored people was read by Mr. F. D. Tucker. The program committee composed of Prof. H. Pearson, W. A. Thomas and Dr. A. R. Ferebee, announces the selection of Prof. L. B. Thompson as the principal speaker at tomorrow's meeting. There will also be musical selections.

NUMBER 8 WANT TO HAVE ONE PARADE WANT TO HAVE ONE PARADE TRYING TO UNITE ON EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION Chatham County Emancipation Association and the Emancipation Association Would Like To Get Together on Coming Celebration—Joint meeting to be held Wednesday Night at St. Paul Church. In order that the emancipation celebration on the first day of the coming January may celebrated in a fitting manner by the Negroes, a meeting was held last Wednesday night at St. Paul C. M. E. Church at which the discussion of the matter was given much time and it was definitely stated by every speaker that an effort should be made to unite the two associations which held celebrations last year at the same time but at different churches. Members of both associations, the Chatham County Emancipation Association and the Emancipation Association, were present and the advisability of getting together on the coming celebration was pointedly brought out by both sides. A committee from the Emancipation Associations, composed of J. C. Simmons and J. H. Butler was appointed to confer with the Chatham County Emancipation association, with an object in view of determining some method by which the two associations might be brought together thereby making possible one large celebration. Major Jerry Suares and Lieu. Jake Wright of the Knights of Damon, representatives of the Chatham County Emancipation, were at the meeting and expressed themselves as being heartily in favor of the joint celebration. As a matter of fact, it is thought that an excellent opportunity is at hand for the uniting of the two bodies and at the meeting which is to be held at St. Paul Church Wednesday night, Nov. 18th, at 8 o'clock, it is more than likely that a consolidation of the two societies will be brought about. The celebration of last January first, when there were two separate parades and meetings, was greatly deplored by the citizens in general and the efforts being made to unite the two associations this year are the outcome of the general dissatisfaction which the two celebrations caused Prior to last year, the two or7 organizations celebrated Emancipation jointly, but last December a difference occurred which could not be adjusted in time for the celebration. Present indications, however, point to a getting together of these organizations and in the event they consolidate, the biggest celebration since the disbandment of the Negro state malitia is looked for. St. Mary's Dots Mr. James Way, an old citizen, died last week after suffering several days from a severe burn. The Superior court convened last week and the two white prisoners who attacked the jailor some time ago were sentenced to five years for burglary. The city court is in session this week already several colored persons have been convicted for drunkardness and selling whiskey Mrs. Thomas Butler went to Savannah to see her son, who is sick. We wish for him a speedy recovery. Rev. J. W. Fisher, of Brunswick is holding revival meetings at the First A. B. Church, quite a number have been reclaimed. The meeting will continue through the entire month. Mrs. I. Boston was the guest of Mrs. Cooper Myers last week. Zion Lodge No. 7; in Masonic circle of St. Marys had work in the Fellow Craft, degree last Saturday night, Mr. Dave Livingston being the candidate, V. O. Long, S. D. (By Rev. J. W. Manns.) "Armageddon." The name comes from the following prophecy: "And the sixth angel poured out his vile upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the East might be prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophets. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew Armageddon." Rev. 16:12-14, 16. Were this all we had from the scriptures, the prophecy of truth, we might suppose that the battle is fought in the same place whither the nations are gathered; but the scriptures make the matter clear, and put it beyond any occasion for the wrong conclusion. By the prophet Zechariah we are told that the days will come when Jerusalem will be a stone too heavy for the people to hold: "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto the people round about, when they shall be in the seige both against Judah and Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people; all that ourden themselsives with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it." Zech. 12:2.3 From this it is apparent that the battle takes place around Jerusalem, and that it is a seige of the city. Megiddo is many miles to the north, too far for the battle to take place there and at the same time be a siege of Jerusalem. The exact spot where the battle is to be fought is explicitly stated by the prophet Joel: "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 plowshears into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, I am strong. Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about; thither cause Thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehosephat, for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe; come, get you down, for the press is full, the vats overflow; for the wickedness is great." Joel 3:9-13. It is in the valley of Jehosaphat that the final battle of the siege of Jerusalem is to take place. Now before we attempt to say anything about the time when this battle is to be fought, let us thoroughly fix in mind the location, that is, the place where the so-called Armeneddon battle is to be fought. It will clearly show us that a general European war is not this final battle or war. "Armageddon," or "Har-Magedon," means the fortified city or mountain of Megiddo. The prefix "Ar," or "Har," has reference to this place as being a fortified place. In ancient days it was a military station. It occupied an important position on the road from Bethshean and Jezreel to the coast and guarded the northern end of the pass over the bridge of Carmel, which forms the easiest line of communication between the plain of Sharon and that of Esdraelon. Through this pass ran the great road from Egypt to the north, along which invading armies have marched from the time of Thormes III to that of Napoleon. A large ruined khan shows that, even in the middle ages, commerce followed the same route. ("Hasting's Dictionary of te Bible, article "Mediddo,") It was "on the southern edge of the Esdraelon or Jezreel plain, the frontier of Issachar and Manasseh, commanding a pass from the north into the hill country. At Megiddo was stationed one of Solomon's commissair officers. I Kings 4:12. Soloubuilt, that is fortified, Megiddo as a commanding military position. I Kings 9:15. Traces of a Roman road remain, and large "tells" mark the site of the fortress commanding the hill and plain. (Fausset's "Bible Encyclopedia." Under the article "Manasseh," the last quoted Encyclopedia tells us that Bethshean was in the hollow of the Ghor or Jordan Valley, the connecting link between the eastern and western Manasseh. Thus you will notice that Megiddo is in a valley,accessible al- so to the coast of the Mediterranean at the mouth of the Kishon river. It was accessible from the north, for as we have read the great warriors of all times have passed over this route going north or south. It is just as accessible from the east, for it is on the caravan route between Damascus and Egypt. Thus into this valley of Jezreel, this "place of rendezvous;" this "place of troops"—for such are the interpreted meanings of "Armageddon"—the evil spirits lead the nations of the earth to the great war or battle of that great day of God Almighty. When the troops have thus been rendezvoused at Megiddo, when they have been thus gathered in the plain of Jezreel, they will march south to besiege the city of Jerusalem and shut the Turk probably within the walls. The great place where the troops particularly will be gathered is mentioned as the Valley of Jehoshaphat. Now we are not speculating as to just what valley outside the walls of Jerusalem this will be, because a greater significance can be attached to the term "valley of Jehoshaphat" than any one particular valley or ravine. The word for "valley" in Joel 3:12, is emek, which means spacious valley. So it will be a place—a large place—for many troops. The word "Jehoshaphat" means the judgement of Jehovah. It is the place-where God decides the fate of the nations—the fate of the world. So it is the place of decision—judgment. It is the place of concision, of cutting down. And just this same thing, says the prophet Joel. In Joel 3:14 this valley of Jehoshaphat is called the valley of decision, or excision, where the forces shall meet their determined doom. So "the valley of Jehoshaphat" and "the valley of decision" are but different ways of saying the same thing. The valley of Jehoshaphat is the valley of the judgment of God, and that makes it the valley of decision. Hog Raising as a Cash Crop All over the South, the "silver fleece" has become a white elephant on the hands of the farmers and everywhere they are getting together and resolving to invest their time and valuable land, next year, in something which can be easily converted into cash or immediate use. When the farmer has raised milk, butter, eggs, pork, vegetables, corn, fruit and such things and for some reason does not desire to sell, these products always afford him direct or cash value, in that they are available for his own consumption without leaving the farm. With a wonderful prophetic insight tempered with prudence and common-sense, Dr. Booker T. Washington, in a recent open letter sent broadcast over the south, urged the colored people to devote their energies to the raising of products on their farms which have immediate and direct cash value rather than taking a gamblers chance on cotton, whose value is abstract, potential and entirely dependent upon the "frenzied" fancies of capital. As is usually the case in such instances, white people are quicker to grasp the significance and importance of such idea than their less fortunate brothers for whose benefit Dr. Washington proposed it. In commenting on Dr. Washington's Raise-a-Pig movement, the Lakeland,( Fla.) News sees it as valuable to all the people. It says:"an excellent idea, and would even greater excellence if this raise-a-pig movement should prove catching and take in all the people, white and colored,'In pig signo vinces' would be a proud slogan under which to battle against the forces of hard times." The Staunton (Va.) News likewise takes a broad, comprehensive view and says: "This is excellent advice, and white people might follow it with equal profit. The South has given itself up to cotton in a large measure and is now suffering because cotton will not buy the things it usually buys. A little less cotton and a little more meat will add greatly to the wealth and prosperity of the South." The Savannah (Ga.) News adds this valuable thought: "One pig or even two or three pigs, could pick up a good living about the premises of the average Negro farmer without expense to him and would be building flesh that would bring him a comfortable sum in the killing season." By far, the most positive proof of Dr. Washington's wisdom in this matter is express in the following news item from Texas. Let me send you FREE PERFUME Write today for a testing bottle of ED.

PINAUD Department M. ED. PINAUD BUILDING NEW YORK showing how the progressive white people of the South appreciate the value of hog-raising at this time. The article says in part: Secretary George A. Toolan, of the San Benito Commercial Club, has advised the Texas Industrial Congress that a new approach to the proposition of growing hogs on the farm as a "cash crop" has been made under the leadership of Mr. R. O. Barron, a progressive farmer of San Benito. Without waiting for the banks to furnish credit, Mr. Barron purchased a carload of thoroughbred Duroc Jersey sows from the stockyards at Fort Worth and had them shipped to San Benito. Then he carefully selected a number of worthy farmers and leased them one or more sows each, as the circumstances appeared to justify. By the terms of the lease, the lessee agreed to care properly for the sows, which had all been bred before shipment, and at the end of three months return the sows and one half of the pigs to Mr. Barron keeping the other half for himself. The introduction of hog raising on a largeer scale around San-Benito has not only furnished every grower with meat but has also provided a cash crop that war time conditions will render more remunerative.

Benefit of Roads to Nonabutting Property Owners Washington, D.C., The road building specialist of the Department of Agriculture, in bulletin 139, entitled "Highway Bonds" have the following to say about the benefit of a well constructed highway to property owners whose property is not directly on the road to be improved: In planning the highway system or the main market roads it will be found necessary to omit many roads the improvements of which is greatly desired by abutting landowners. The fact that such property holders must pay a tax for the bond issue is only the apparent injustice, for if the high way system is well planned, the whole county will feel the benefits of the improvement. As a rule, main market roads reach the majority of producing areas, and when they are improved all land values tend to increase. The fact that cities and larger towns are frequently taxed for bond issues to build highways outside of their own limits is sometimes made a point of debate in bond elections. It is argued that because a large part of the county wealth is within the corporate limit of such cities and towns, highway bond money should also be used to construct their streets. It is even urged that expenditure should be made proportionate to the assessed valuation within the city limist. If the proceeds of highway bond issues were distributed in this way, their purpose in many cases would be defeated. The primary object of the county highway bond issue is to build county market roads and not to improve city streets, although a high percentage of the assessed valuation may be city property. It is now known that the expenditure of city taxes on country roads is a sound principle and that it is one of the best features of the state aid for highways. In Massachusetts the city of Boston pays possibly 40 per cent of the total State highway fund, but not a mile of State aid highway has been built within its limits. New York City also pays about 60 per cent of the cost of the State highway bond. Some State laws prohibit the expenditure of proceeds of State highway bonds within corporate limits of cities or towns- THE BEST PLACE In Savannah. FOR MEN'S GOOD SHOES Prices $3.50 up B. H. Levy Bro. & Co. The improvement of market roads results in improved marketing conditions which benefit the city. Most cities are essentially dependent upon the surrounding country for their prosperity and development. The development of suburban property for residence purposes is almost dependent upon highway conditions and it is becoming evident yearly that whatever makes for an increase in rural population must be encouraged. Since the introduction of motor traffic, country highways are used to an increasing extent by city residents. In fact, the cost of maintaining many country highways has been greatly increased by the presence of city-owned motor vehicles. The general advance in facilities for doing country business from town headquarters when roads are improved is no inconsiderable factor in the commercial life of the community. The English Language. The English language contains about 600,000 words, but of this total nearly one-half consists$^3$ of scientific terminology—that is, seldom met with outside of text books—and of archaic terms. An examination of 100,000 words shows them to comprise 60,000 words of Teutonic origin, 30,000 of Greek or Latin origin, and 10,000 words derived from miscellaneous sources. Milton wrote his "Paradise Lost" with 8,000 words, and Shakespeare got up his plays with 16,000.—New York American. WILLIAM McKELVEY Contractor and Builder.

Among the Masons OLD TIME MASONRY Sixty years ago a Mason looked for his lodge meeting as a boy does for Christmas. But little use for blowing the trumpet then we were all there and on time. Never thought of asking a brother "Are you going to the lodge?" We knew he would be there unless he was providentially hindered and on time. And such a joyful time we had shaking hands with Jim, Tom, Jack and Joe, slapping Sam on the back with, How are Sallie and the babies?" Everybody talking and laughing at once—a real babel of sounds with every brother happy to meet again. The master always on time and in love for every brother gives joyful greeting to all. And with one rap of the gavel brings order out of chaos. Now to business. "Who is in need of help?" Committees are appointed to look after them, and give such aid as is needed. As a band of brothers bound together by the most solemn obligations we are looking out for the good of our brother and his loved ones. No self in them. Work came next. It was all done decently and in order—no burry—then a call to refreshments. And such a time we had, eating, drinking, telling tales, singing of songs, and making of speeches My! it was worth riding many miles and staying late to see and enjoy the fun we had conferring the "Knight of Constantinople," Helping a Brother," "Test of Faith," "Secret Monitor," and many other side degrees. Ohl it was good for the heart to see old gray beard mixing with the boys; no one in a hurry to leave. Then "Adieu, a heart, fond, warm, adieu," or God be with you till we meet again," was sung with a will. With happy hearts we tose ourselves from the lodge room, looking forward to the help we could give, and the good we could do by the next meeting. When we met a Mason we felt he was a brother in deed and in truth. We knew it by his act and his deed. No such meetings nowadays. Do you wonder? I don't. The Master is late, or in a hurry. The work is rushed through, lectures are omitted. The brethren get tired waiting, go home or to some place more entertaining. Many brethren are so busy doing anything, or nothing in particular, they can't spare the time for lodge meeting (yet can go to any fool show that happens along) If they go, they soon lose interest and leave, unless a barbecue or big festival with big speakers is advertised. Then they are present in abundance with pins and badges to beat the band, and stay at least until the eating is over. But the old-fashioned love feasts we used to have are conspicously absent. Ohl it makes our old hearts tired to see the sad changes and the indifference in our lodge meetings of today—1911. But I suppose we are just old fogies and pessimists.—Selected. The glory of life is to love, not to be loved; to give, not to get; to serve not to be served. To be a strong hand in the dark to another in time of need; to be a cup of strength to a human soul in a crisis of weakness is to know the glory of life.—Selected. "Why do you want to become a Mason? is one of the most important questions an investigating committee can ask of a petitioner. Masonic Standard. Neglecting lodge to attend other Masonic bodies is like leaving mother to visit aunt or cousin. Masonic Sentinel. "We rejoice in the joy of our friends as much as we do in our own, and we are equally grieved at their sorrow. Wherefore the wise man will feel towards his friend as he does towards himself, and whatever labor he would encounter with a view to his own pleasure, he will encounter also for the sake of that of his friend." We are not without hope that the day will come when the lodge that has the temerity to boast of a record in number of degrees conferred will be dispised as the most unworhy among us. A Grand Master who wishes to render his jurisdiction a notable service cannot do better than inaugurate a campaign which will end in the abolition of these infernal machines that grind out Masons by the carload.—Tyler-Keystone. No man however lofty or however humble, can isolate himself up in the dark cell of his exclusiveness, determine to live for himself alone. No man, however obscure, can truly say that he is so unknown and so unimportant that he can contribute nothing to enlighten and benefit humanity. He cannot know that, and ought not to assume it. Let the Mason turn his mind steadily to the needs of others and he will be blessed. Let us do some kindly act toward our neighbor while he is yet alive, and not procrastinate until death calls him, that he may know that we have his interests at heart as well as our own.—H. C.

Georgia, as Secondelass Mall ‘Matter. ii re Saturday, November 14, 1914 ee neg. nee Care nore ener seme eae effort of the democratic press, which almost borders on the ‘ludicrous, **to explain’’ the re- sult of the recent November elec: stions which resulted ina practi- cal land slide for the Republican party. Viewed from every angle by the democratic prognostica- tors the recent elections, although resulting in undisputed Repuvli- ean success throughout the east and west, give unmistakable signs of democratic success in 1916. Open at all times to conviction, as we nre, we would like to know, b what process of reasoning such a conclusion can be reached on the basis of such premises by these political prophets. ‘fo our mind, any ove with a thimble full of sense can see that the country has already grown tired of the party in power and its os perimenters. The increased cost, of living, business deprgssions;; war tax and the like with which the people have been confronted; fduring the present administra ‘tion, have dane no little toward dwarfing the ranks of the demo- cratic party. As we see it; there is no possible chance of democrat- ie success in 1916. As has been intimated, the fight for power in 1916 will be waged between the old time opponents, the de- mocrats and republicans, with the republicans greatly augmented’ by returning former members from the progressive party. Comment as it will, the demo- eratic press cannot make the peo- _ ple see the political horizon other, wise than it is. Without doubt, the old fashioned republican tidal wave ison. All we ask is for our readers to watch develoy- ments., x “silt A That the words emanating from the lips of the great Tuskegee educator in behalf ot our noone become more grandiloquent, and sagelike the more freuuentty they are uttered, a brief perusal of his recent speech delivered toan ex- clusively white audience of Doxghe-ty county citizens at Al- bapy, Ga.. will attest. In his speech beforathe Doug belrty county audience, Dr. Washing- ton made a most wonderful and manly plea for justice and fair play on the part of the white people of Georgia toward the Negro population. Realizing as he does, that the population of the black race of the South are the problems of the white race, and yica versa, Dr. Washington brought home in bold relief to his audience the truth that success can and will only come to this section of the South as it should come, when there is the proper co-operative interest and effort on the part of the dominant race in behalf of the other. Truer and braver words than these have never been spoken. By tradition, environment and otherwise,the two great racese of the South are inseparably linked the one to the other. One’s success must be the! others; one’s failure must be shared by the other Impossible, xs it has been so conclusively’ proven, that this nation could ‘not exist half slave and half free, itis equally impossible for this section to come into its own with one part of its population up and the other part down. Thanks to the > fair-minded and chivalrous white men of the South who help- ed to make possible such helpful vducational enterprisés as the South West Georgia Negro Fair Association and others, there seems to be springing up through- out our Southland a growing clientele of the fair minded and ‘irm friends of Negro progress und endeavor. Asa result, the sonstriactiye endeavors of our people are becoming more marked alaily. Inthe world ef business vind finance, new and untried, fields are being entered. @ur_ peoplé are making progress on every hand. Toa large degree, this would not obtain if the encouragement which we now get from friendly quarters were witheld. No one realizes this better than D.; Washington whose experience through travel and contact with all classes, both white and colored, gives him ob- servational powers apent the status of our people far above the ordinary. Such words in be- half of justice and fair play to jour people, coming as they do from no less a leader then Dr. ‘Washington, and spoken to an ‘uudience of Southern white mer who voluntarily elected him tc ‘speak to them. can but do gocd. There is no denying the fact that the South is coming unto her own daily [Nearly every section car :now boast of its coterie of fair minded white citizens who ar outspoken in behalf of jnstice and j fase pley to ous peeple. In con gratufation the Douglerty county audience for its friendliness te Negro co-opratiye enterprises jthe great Tuskegean, has n doubt inspired each member t greate effort in the future in be half of our-people. We hav no doubt thatthe effort of Dr Washington was not only timel; but will ‘result in no little good The man who can cultivate true friendship is an asset to the com- munity. The energy used in finding fault and damaging the other fellow, if utilized in our businessor whatever vocation we are engaged, would prove far more benelicial in a per- sonal way. Aman is measured in 4 com- munity by what_he does and not what he says. This is the time for works not words. The man who persists in the latter is marked lags a lability in the community. One of ‘the surprises of tho election in this state was the caf- trying of twenty-seven cobaties by the Pregressive party. This shows the trend of the mind of many people in this state. They are tired af-one dominating party. They wil] welcomea well organ- ized opposition party. This is where the Republican party has lost prestige. Instead of conduct- ing a compaign every four years. simply to secure delegates to the Nationat Convention the party should be well organized in ev- ery militia district, county and congressional district in order to put out candidates for every elec- tive position. If this plan had been adhered to, the party would have had a strong standing in the state, and instead of there being twenty-seven counties going for the Progressives, the Republicans would have carried more than half n hundred. The party in this state needs some ginger in it. PREJUDICE Easy to create, it is hard to de: stroy. Sinister of wit. it is weak of'wisdom. Its perceptions are . false.

Lindsay) > At our meeting on last Wednes- day evening, many questions of vital importance were discussed by the men in this city who do things. These men realize the important position. which- the masses of our people expect them ‘to fill, and as-a natural ‘result they are doing-all in their power to have and to keep the -confi- idence of, these people, who have entrusted them with the business management of their affairs, be~ ‘cause after all, it is to tha¢-class of people, the so called “Common people”, that the business men of ‘this, as- well as in every ‘other community, owe the greatest |debt of gratitude for the limited | amount of success which is theirs to enjoy. A Great Debate. It was announced several weeks ago, the great debate which was looked forward to with such pleasurable anticipation, was pulled off at the St. Philip A. M. £. Church, Charles and West ‘Broad streets, on Friday night jot last week. This debate was strictly under the-auspices of the Negro Business League and-the speakers were: Drs. R. H. Sin- gleton, J. L. Taylor, B. W. S. ‘Daniels and Prof. E. W. Hous- ,toun. This was the beginning of a series of entertainments which will be held under the auspices of the Negro Business League for the purpose of bringing the ;greater work which the organi- zation is destined to do before a ‘class-of people which we have found it almost impossible to ‘reach through any other medium. The public will be advise in a few days, through these columns, when and where the next enter- tainment will be held. | A Cordial Welcome Extended | The Negro business men in this community extend a hearty and cordial welcome to all of our people to visit their places _ of business, and note the regularity yand business-like methods many of them have adopted for the car- rying out of their places of busi- ness, that is, the various banks, real estate offices, insurance com- panies, law offices, medicine em- poritims, doctor shops, stores, tailor shops, feed and grain store, photograph galleries and what not. Many of these, businesses conducted by our people, are ‘in- deed a credit not‘only to those who are operating them, but to the entire race. | Up-to-date Divices _ * To those of you who have not found the time to go into our two banks and our insurance offices or our big real estate office and see the large time-locks in these banks, as well as the big adding machines which are to be found in all of our insurance offices, to- gether with typewriters, -and other modern and time saving devices, would agree. with me, that these business concerns ope- rated by our people, are here to stay. . _Get Acquainted It is very nécessary t6 become personally acquainted with those with whom you do business. We may find it very necessary at times, to go considerably out of our way to extend a hearty hand shake or extend a fraternal greet- ing to one who may be standing off with a cherish idea that the {Negro men who happen to be in business is a different specie of ~ humanity to what the so called {‘common people” are. | «= Stay Close to the People { The people are willing and |ready to stand by and support {that man or that set of men | whosé heart-beats they believe to '|be in fnison with the interest of what is called by some the “com- mon people”,‘whether it be in |church, socitey, politics, business or what not. We must get with Jand stay close to them and have |them feel at all times that their Jinterests are absolutely safe in the hands of the representatives Jof our business institutions. and that we stand ready and willing to strike down any man or set af |men who attempt to jeopardize |their interest to further liis or their own selfish ends. The People Must be Heard eIt is to the so called “common |people” to whom the banker, the insuranée man, the real estate dealer and every other business man owe their success, and_, in view of this fact, the Negro Busi- ness League wishes to g6 down on record as being willing and ready, now and forever, to give these who are flippantly dubbed by some as the “common people” a hearing at any time and under ‘any circumstances. These are some of the princi- ples for which the Negro Busi- ness League stands, which meets the first Wednesday and third Friday evenings in cach month, at the headquarters, Wage Earn- ers Bank building, West Broad and Alice streets.

She suffered and mur- mured not, though far away she is not Yorgotten, The Lord doeth all things forthe bes}, and taketh her home fo rest, safe‘upon the heavenly shore, done with all praises forever more.

Savannah, Ga., Nov. 10, 1914. ‘Editor of The Savannah Tribune: Dear Sir; Will you- allow me space in your valuable paper to give the public more light on the state- ment made by Dr. B. W. S. Dan- iels Oct 28, 1914, at the 17th B. M. C. Echo meeting in regard to my name being on the creden- tial list in Boston. I want to say that 1 went to Boston, but I was not a delegate from Savannah and neither was I a delegate from any part of Georgia. 1 went to Boston on a pleasure trip and if my name was on the credential list it wis placed there by some Smart Alec, and it was done with- out my consent, and I want the public to know it. But I doubt it, because Dr. Daniels lias seen me more times than he has seen Grand Master Morris and would have said something to me about it. Now about the money that I went to Boston with, It was mine, no one sugared me. I went there heavy loaded and it was all mine. -So no one knows anything about my name being on that ‘credential list but Dr. Daniels and if there was - any Cohen on the credential list in Boston I want the public to know that it was not this P.

Birmingham Selected for Next Meeting Nashville, Tenn., Nov 11, 1914. Among the important items transacted at the National Baptist Board meeting yesterday was the awarding of the 1915 session, of the Sunday School Congress to Birmingham, Ala., to be held June 9-14. Close and spirited was the contest between Memphis, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, New York City and Birmingham. There were several meetings of the Board with numerous conferences, together with telegraphic communications with some of the cities, before the officials could decide the winner. The result of Birmingham's victory at the conclusion of the meeting was announced by Rev. Henry A. Boyd, the Congress Secretary, who stated that Birmingham had won because she started in time, having allowed her invitation which was extended last year to go over for this year and be repeated for 1915. While the meeting was in session at Beaumont, Texas, last June the Ministers' Conference of Birmingham telegraphed an invitation and then backed it up by a similar one after the adjournment of the Texas meeting. The meeting in 1915 will be the tenth annual session of this gathering of Sunday-school workers and is expected to draw largely from all sections of the United States. The Beaumont meeting drew from twenty-eight states and had an attendance of about 2500. It is understood that the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Birmingham, Rev. J. W. Goodgame president, and Rev. J. D. Kent, secretary, with the Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Association, of which Birmingham is a member, Rev. S. M. Hall, moderator, and the Alabama Baptist State Convention, Rev. J. H. Eason, president, have appointed a committee already to begin work. This committee, having met and organized, is as follows: J. W. Goodgame, S. M. Hall, T. W. Walker, W. L. Boyd, J. H. Kelly, chairman and I. D. Kent, secretary. The date of the 1915 Congress will be from Wednesday, June 9th to Monday June 14th. inclusive. There are eight departments or sections of this Sunday School Movement, which represents twenty-five thousand Sunday schools and one million five hundred thousand scholars. The officers are Revs. R. H. Boyd, of Nashville, director; C. H. Clarke, chairman and Henry A. Boyd, secretary. In connection with the meeting this year it is announced that the Boy Cadets will hold their secondannual encampment. Winter Wheat in the Gulf States Washington, D.C., Considerable interest is being shown in the Southern states in wheat growing. Inquiries are coming to the U.S. Department of Agriculture from many sections of the South regarding the suitability of wheat as a crop in these sections, and regarding varieties and methods of culture. In many sections of the South wheat should do well, and should prove a valuable addition to the crops there grown. Much of the well-drained clay and loam soils can doubtless be used profitably for wheat growing. The sandy soils, however, are generally not suitable for wheat. The Coastal Plains of the Gulf and of the Atlantic are not likely to return profitable wheat crops, and in at least all of the peninsular portion of Florida wheat growing should not be attempted. The Piedmont plateau, however, contains much good wheat land. Wheat can generally be sown on land on which a cultivated crop, such as corn or cotton, has grown by merely disking and harrowing thoroughly, and then drilling in the seed about $ \frac{1}{3} $ inches deep with a disk or hoe drill. If weeds are plentiful, plowing proceeded and followed by disking will probably be necessary. Wheat can be sown in the states bodering on the Gulf almost any time in November, but generally speaking the first of November in the North and the middle of the month in the Central parts are the most suitable seeding dates. A good growth of the plant is necessary before cold weather begins, yet if the plant becomes jointed injury from freezing may result. A variety that has been grown locally for several years and that has become adapted to the locality is generally the best. The soft red winter wheats are best adapt- ed. A beardless, smooth, white-chaffed variety, such as Fultz, Purple Straw; Bluestem (not the Spring Bluestem), Georgia Red, or Alabama Red, or a bearded, smooth, white-chaffed variety, such as Fulcaster or Dietz, may be grown with the greatest chance for success. The hard red winter wheats, such as Turkey and Kharkov, while well suited to Kansas and Nebraska, should not be sown in the South. Some fertilizer should generally be sown with wheat in the South. An application of 200 pounds of acid phosphate or steamed bone meal, 50 pounds of potash, and 25 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre applied when sowing, and 40 or 50 pounds of nitrate of soda applied after growth starts in the spring should be generally profitable.

Shakepears and Burns In a lecture before the Royal Institution in London Professor Arthur Keith, in an anthropological study, gave it as his opinion that Shakespeare was a descendant of the bronze age invaders, the true or round head people. This was a remarkable fact, the professor added, for it was this same short headed stock, spread abroad in central Europe, throughout Germany, France and Italy, which has produced the world's finest artists. Burns, he said, on the contrary, was a good representative of the long headed type of man. His skull was very broad and of excessive length and appeared to be closely set to the neck. It represented an ancient type Fiction and Fast. In the novels the husband strolls into the conservatory for a little smoke before dinner.

Appeal of the Hymn. What constitutes the appeal of the popular hymn? "Pilgrims of the Night." by Father Faber, has been as popular as any hymn of the past century, and one has to confess to a lump in the throat when it is sung. Nor is it merely on the sentimentally inclined that the hymn has effect. Froude records overhearing it in Hyde park one Sunday evening, when Carlyle, with deep emotion, hade him come away, as he could never hear those words without desiring to weep. Yet I have still to meet the person who can give a clear interpretation of what is meant by Faber's appealing lines—London Chronicle. Barrie's Critic Barrie some years ago was persuaded to take the chair at a Burns celebration in Scotland. He was extremely silent and stole away at the earliest opportunity. Next week appeared in the National Observer a humorous article entitled "Mr. Barrie In the Chair," in which Mr. Barrie's lack of social tact was held up to ridicule. Many people thought the writer had gone too far and protested. But the author of the article was Mr. Barrie himself. Whittier's Applause In his declining years the poet Whittier was extremely absentminded. He attended a church meeting where there were a large number of persons.

Once he swam his horse across a river and stopped at a house near by to borrow a bucket. "I want to water my boss 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." Worse Off. "The bachelor is worse off than the married man?

But the customer never returned, and year after year the joint has awaited him until, hanging from one of the rafters of the quiet old shop, it has become one of the fixtures and has passed with the business from one proprietor to another. During the more than fifty years of waiting for its purchaser the leg has withered away and is now shrunk to the semblance of a club of knotted wood.—London Tatler. Quick Recovery.
