At a meeting of the Emancipa-
tion Association at St. Paul C. M.
E, Church last Wednesday night,
attended by a committee from
the Chatham County Emancipa~
tion Association, it was decided
that the two associations would
‘bury their differences and ‘unite
in one large and grand celebra-
tion on the first of January.
The meeting was very harmoni-
ous and a friendly settlement of
the points of issue last year was
easily arrived. It was agreed
that there will be no floats de-
picting the material progress of
the race, one of the sources of
disagreement last year, ,that the
marshal will have no authority
sver the uniform ranks but wil’
head. the civic associations, and
that the uniform ranks of both
the Knights of Pythias and the
Knights of Daymon will act as
an escort in the parade.
While the businss men
at the meeting were very anxious
to have floats in the parade, show-
ing the advancement of the race
from a commercial standpoint,
and regretted their elimination
yet they readily agreed to their
omission and made no strenuous
objection to this part of the de-
monstration being left out.
The selection of a speaker and
the program to he rendered -at
the .exercises on January ‘first
have not as yet been made but are
in the hands of the committee
which will report to the associa-
ticn at a meeting next Wednes-
day night at St. Paul Church,
West Broad and-Maple streets.
State Convention of the

The State Convention of the

sion at Augusta. The sessign

Mr. A. G. McDowell Passes Away
Mr. Andrew G. McDowell died
at his. residence, 218 Park Avenue
east, on last Monday morning
after an illness of about seven
years. Mr. McDowell was well
known throughout the city and
was one of the leaders among the
“Masons. He was a native Savan-
nahian, having been born here in
1844. He was a strict church
man, being a member and also a
vestryman of St. Stephen’s Epis-
copal Church. As a Mason, he
was one of the organizers of Py-
typos lodge No 11, of this city ;
antl was secretary of thé lodge
for 30 years, being compélled to
relinquish the office by ill health,
at which time he was made chap-~
lain, Up to the time his“ health
failed seven years*ago, he had
never missed a meeting of his
lodge. He was a past master of
his lodge and his life was- one
-which is worthy of emulation.
He was a devoted husband and
father and much beloved by all
who knew him. The funeral ser-
vices which took place Wednes-
yday afternoon from St. Stephen’s
Episcopal Church, were largely
:attended, the Rev. J. L. Tay-
‘Jor, officiating. The lodge
-attended the funeral in a
body and conducted the services
at the interment which took place
at Laurel Grove cemetery. The
deceased is survived by «2 wife,
Mrs>Elizabeth McDowell, two
sons, Messrs. C. A. R. and A. G.
McDowell, and three daughters,
Mrs. Laura Scott and Misses Cor-
nelia and Annulette McDowell.
The floral offerings were numer-
ous and beautiful.

; _ IN CONVENTION
Four Sent From Texas as Dele-
gates to Temperance Meeting
Atlanta, Nov. 17—The Negro
question, which stirred up a bit
of excitement in the White House
last ven, has been ejected into
the national convention of the
W. C. T. U. in Atlanta through
the arrival of four Negro women
delegates from Texas, who were
totally unexpected.
The corps of girl ushers who
have the seating arrangements
in charge had made no arrange-
mente for this delegation, and
asked that the four brunette de-
legates go in the gallery of the
Baptist Tabernacle, where the
convention is meeting. They
indignantly refused to be segre-
gated, marched down the main
aisle and found seats between two.
delegation from the North, who
gave the black sisters a cordial
welcome. .
Just across the aisle is the Ala-
bama delegation and these ladies
were highly indignant at the inva-
sion from the black belt. One of
the Alabama visitors left the-hall,
packed her grips and returned to
Alabama at once. It is reported
that the lady who heads the
corps of pages threatened to ad-
dress the body on the desirabili-
ty of having Northern and
Southern W. C. T. U. in future,
with two conventions if the col-
or line is nét drawn. None of
this story, by the way, got into
the Atlanta papers, the editors
fighting shy of stirring up trou-
ble.
_The color trouble has been aug-
mented by the presistent efforts
friends of the Texas delegates, to
enter the convention and sit be-
Iside their friends. It was neces-
sary to call the assistance of sev-
eral men before they could be
ejected. A big rumpus in the W.
Ic T. U. ranks is expected to fol-
low. -

will be one of the largest and

preachers of the A. M. E. Church
will make equally as good a show-
ing as last yedr, when one of the
local districts carried off the
honors.
Several changes are expected
in the local pulpit. The city
charge receiving most attention
is that of St. Philip, Charles
street, where the Rev. R. H. Sing-
leton ends his fifth year this
coming Sunday. On account of
Rev. Singleton’s thorough know-
ledge of the affairs of this church
and its: heavy obligations, it is
the_ prevailing’ opinion that he
will be retained here by the con-
ference. A petitiop to have him
retained here has been signed by
many prominent citizens and it
is thought that this will have
some influence in the matter, if
the bishop has not already decided
to keep him in Savannah.

PEKIN TO CELEBRATE.
, ANNIVERSARY »
HOUSE FIVE YEARS OLb.
THANKSGIVING DAY
Asimating Feature Pictures’ and
‘An Enjoyable Two Act Musical
Comedy to be the Bill Anniver—~
sary Week—New House One
of Prettiest Negro Play Houses
in the Country.
Se ee ee
For the length of time it has
been pened to the public it is
doubtful if there is another Ne-
gro playhouse in the country
which has made a better recorpt
or more satisfactorily served its
patrons than the Pekin theatre of
this city.
On next Thursday, Thanksgiv-~
ing day, the house will celebrate
its fifth anniversary and, as has
been the case on previous occa~-
sions of this kind celebrated by
this popular theatre, a gecord at-
tendance will doubtless be on
hand at both the-matinee and
night performances.
- The progress which the Pekin
has made since its opening five
years ago has been watched very:
interestingly by the Negroes of
the city. The opening of this
house was the beginning of the
first theatre in this city and sec-
tion of the state owned and con-
trolled by Negroes, the founder
and present owner being Mrs.
Josephine Jennings, and was the
entering wedge for Negroes im
the show business in Georgia.
Since its establishment, the Pe-
kin has undergone 3 noticeable
changes. The original theatre
was made from a converted
dwelling and was about 27 by 52
and seated about three hundred
persons. This remained for two
years,and then a gallery accom—
modating nearly a hundred per-
sons was added, and a new front
with beautiful electric lights
built.
Shortly after this, the manage-
ment, seeing the great need of
more space decided to build =
larger hotse and the erection ‘Gf
the - present’ commodiot3 .strut-
ture in the rear of the old theatre,
which accommodates abput 800
persons, was begun. It was com-
pleted in December of last year
and is one of the most beautifdt
playhouses in the country owned
by Negroes. It is well ventilate
and recently a modern steam
heating plant was installed.
The entrance to thé new house
is through an arcade which takes
up the entire .space occupied by
the old theatre and is artistically
decorated. A beautiful tile floor-
has just been put in and in the
course of a month or so a soda
fountain and cigar stand will be-
installed. .
The polity of the house has,
been to secure the best Negro tal~
ent obtainable and some of the
most noted Negro performers
have been brought here by Man-,
ager Stiles. Aside from vaude-
ville, a high class of picfures is
shown. It has been often stated
by theatre goers who are welt
versed in stage affairs, that the
‘shows at this popular playhouse
are better and larger for the
money than can be seen in any
other Negro theatre in the coun-
try.
The program for the anniver-
sary week, beginning Monday,
will be very entertaining. Be-
side a two act musical comedy-
special feature pictures will be
shown and it is expected that the
attendance figures for the house
will be the largest in its history.
Especially enjoyable’ will be the
performances of Thanksgiving
day, matinee and night, and seyc-
ral box parties have been formed
for the night performance.
# Elks Lodge of Sorrow
: wy
The Jocal order of Elks are
preparing to hold their annual
lodge of sorrow on Sundaes Dee.
6th. The exercises will be hel
in the afternoon at the Pekin
Theatre and the committee is
busy arranging a program which.
promises to be very interesting.
The speakers and other partici-
‘pants willbe made known in @
tae dzys. . -
P. G. M., W. F. Kuhn, of Missouri, in the Tyler-Keystone, discusses the question of non-attendance, and says that the average attendance does not exceed 15 per cent of the lodge membership. This condition is not confined to the lodge only, "but is equally true of the Royal Arch, the Commandery, and especially the Scottish Rite," where the complaint is frequently made "that in conferring the higher degrees, the only audience is the lone man in the gallery and the candidates." Non-attendance is not confined to any locality, "but it is a universal fact," affecting both city and country lodges. Brother Kuhn says the cause does not lie in the loss of faith in Masonic principles, but exists because the "lodge-going habit comes and goes in cycles;" the multiplicity of fraternities and degrees; the pressure of the age; that Masonry is losing its exclusiveness, and the constant routine of degree work. The social, intellectual, and the good ritualistic features are cast aside by the on-rush of candidates. In briefly summing up his views on non-attendance, he says:
"A lodge has become a mere machine, into the hopper of which at one end, a set of officers are tumbling a miscellaneous mass; at the other end of the machine are a lot of labels bearing the words "A Master Mason," on the reverse side of these labels another set of officers are putting on the paste and the Worshipful Master is busy sticking them on the backs of the candidates as they are rolling out of the spout, and during this interesting milling, a graphaphone is grinding out a homily and a few scriptural quotations.
"Is the comparison overdrawn? But the officers say, 'We have so many candidates that we must confer the degrees, not only at stated, but special Communications.' Too true, the craze to be the largest lodge in city or state, to have a record-breaking year, has so possessed the minds of the officers, but it has become an obsession."
"For what does Masonry stand?" For loving kindness and truth; for justice tempered with mercy, where no interests of society are imperiled, and where one gone astray can by such tempered justice be brought back to rectitude and duty. Masonry stands for the protection of every man with his rights, that so he may not be overborne by any opposing interest until impartial justice has spoken. It stands for kindly deelings with the weak and erring, who have not brought themselves into disrepute nor made their lives a scandal to the fraternity. The whispered word of counsel, of warning, of encouragement or of stern reproof—these Masonry can and should speak, seeking to stay and save a brother from the weaknesses of his own soul and body.—Tyler Keystone.
When a Mason is elected or appointed to any office in grand or sub-ordinate lodge, he should be selected with the idea that the world may look upon him as a representative Mason. To be able to mouth the ritual in clever fashion, or make an eloquent speech is not so important as that his deeds and conduct will bear rigid inspection.—The Freemason.
The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the whole world's joy. And so God sits effulgent in heaven not for a favored few, but for the universe of life; and there is no creature so low that it may not look up and say: My Father! Thou art mine."—Henry Ward Beecher.
Workmen engaged in tearing down the Masonic Hall (N. Y.) came across a gold plate set in a stone at the southwest corner of the edifice. In the lewis hole of the stone was found a number of small coins, several nickel 5-cent pieces, a 2-cent piece and silver half-dime. The plate is five by six inches in size, clean and bright, and bears the following inscription, clearly engraved in text:
"To the glory of the Architect of the Universe.
"We Free and Accepted Masons place our names within this stone, laid this 24th day of February, A. L 5875. A. D. 1871, that those who come after us may know that we testify to our belief
in the teaching of Masonry, and ask of those who read this inscription that they in their day and generation will do for Masonry what we are now trying to do—inculcate this pure Masonic law: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart. "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Masonry asks of its members obedience to certain defined principles, but it repuires no blind allegiance to itself, nor any performance of service contrary to the individual conscience, or in conflict with the duties of good citizenship. Masonry enforces obedience, but it is the obedience of a free man.—The Ereemason. The Grand Master of Pennsylvania decided that a dwarf is not eligible to Masonry, regardless of his physical symmetry or mental and moral attainment.

Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Georgia, as Second-class Mall
Matter.
At this time of war news and war dispatches, when every bit of newspaper information gives way to tidings from the seat of the titanic struggle now going on among the great nations of Europe, it would appear that such an ordinary occurrence as a conference between the President of the United States and a delegation of American citizens would find little prominence in the columns of the newspapers of the country. Yet such was not the case recently when a delegation of prominent Negro citizens held a conference with the chief executive of the United States anent matters of vital importance to their people. As the press would have it, the conferees with the president, or at least their chairman, gave the president not only insolence and insult during their
conference with him but blackmail as well. It is a true statement that there are always two sides to a question. Having read the statement of those purporting to represent the president's side of the controversy resultant of the conference, it was for us to hear the other side, before drawing conclusion. And now that we have both sides, we are forced to conclude that there was absolutely no need for so much newspaper bluster anent this ordinary conference. Wm. Monroe Trotter, editor of the Guardian and his associates who called at the white house, were only American citizens, altho' black. They sought and gained a conference with the president of the United States in behalf of their people as representatives of any other people might do. Representing as they did ten million thrifty and constructive citizens of this country, citizens who have entered nearly every phase of American life and given their full quota of constructive endeavor to each, it was not necessary, as some would have it appear, for them to appear as suppliants and cringers before the head of a government supposed to be democratic to the core; a government of the people, for the people and by the people. On the other hand, they appeared as they should have, as men. They felt that their people were not getting their at the hand of the present administration. They felt that the various segregation ordinances now in vogue for the first time in the history of the government inthe departments at Washington and the various departmental harmony rules now emanating so unceasingly from seemingly authoritative sources, were a direct slap in the faces of their people, a real bar to the open door and new freedom, the much heralded pet.hobbies of the powers
that be. That they had the courage of their conviction, developments attest. And now why should there have been a howl? As American citizens, is it not ours, through our representatives, to claim protection and immunity from acts and customs designed to cast aspersions? Is it not ours to say in manly tones that we are not lepros to be herded to ourselves without our volition as so many cattle? As we see it, we see no reason why we should be made to bow suppliantly before the powers that pray thereto to enjoy and share that which we helped to make. In our opinion Mr. Trotter has done no wrong, though he may have been a little severe in his language to the president. We are not alone in this opinion, as the following editorial from the New York World of Nov. 13 will attest
No Jim-Crow Government
No President ever suffered more from the indiscretions of members of his Cabinet than has Mr. Wilson. He had a further illustration of it yesterday in his unfortunate in-
teriew with a delegation of Negroes who called at the White House to protest against the segregation of races in Government departments. The bad manner of the chairman of the delegation, however deplorable, are no justification of the policy of Jim-Crow government which certain members of the Cabinet have established in their departments; and, as the President well knows insolent conduct is not confined to the members of any particular race.
The President should have foreseen this unfortunate issue when Mr. Mc Adoo and Mr. Burleson were carrying their color-line theories into democratic government. Mr. Wilson told the committee that there had been no discrimination in the comforts and surroundings of the Negro clerks, but explained "he had been informed by officials that the segregation had been started to avoid friction between the races, and not with the object of injuring the Negroes." The president failed to explain, nevertheless, why no such rule had been considered necessary until Mr. Burleson and Mr. McAdoo got into the Cabinet.
For nearly half a century Negro clerks and white clerks have worked side by side in the departments of Washington under Republican and under Democratic Presidents. The World keeps itself fairly well informed about Washington affairs, but the first it ever heard of this alleged friction to which Mr. Wilson refers was when Mr. McAdoo began his Jim-Crow proceedings in the Treasury Department.
The President thinks that this is not a political question, but he is wrong. Anything that is unjust, discriminating and un-American government is certain to be a political question. Servants of the United States Government are servants of the United States Government, regardless of race or color. For several years the Negro has been Collector of Internal Revenue in New York. He never found it necessary to segregate the white employees of his department to prevent "friction" yet he could have had quite as much right to do so as Mr. McAdoo had to segregate the Negro employees of the Treasury in Washington.
While the Democrats of the country have been trying to solve certain great problems of government, a few Southern members of the Cabinet have been allowed to exploit their petty local prejudice at the expense of the party's reputation for exact justice.
Whether the President thinks so or not, the segregation rule was promulgated as a deliberate discrimination against Negro employees.
Worse still, it is a small, mean petty discrimination, and Mr. Wilson ought to have set his heel upon this presumptuous Jim-Crow government the moment it was established. He ought to set his heel upon it now. It is a reproach to his administration and to the great political principles which he represents.
Jim-Crowism at Washington
Commenting editorially on the incident, the New York Globe and Commerce said:
The manners of the chairman of the delegation of Negroes who called at the White House to protest against Jim-Crowism in the Washington departments may not have been all they should have been. But some heat and freedom of expression are to be conceded to members of a race denied their rights under the constitution, and the laws as they behold a new discrimination in process of establishment. The President could have well afforded to pardon the affront of his dignity when he heard the Negro spokesman say that two years ago many of his people saw in him another Abraham Lincoln and that such had been profoundly disappointed by the countenance that he had given the segregation orders of Secretary McAdoo and Postmaster-General Burleson.
The President's clear and logical mind, a mind capable of cutting through minor issues to the main one, must be dissatisfied with the explanation that the segregation is to reduce "friction." He knows, although this factor is doubtless present to the authors of the order, that the chief thing behind it is race prejudice. For fifty years men of different color have worked together in harmony. No one has declined public employment because of the presence of Negro employees. The order represents a concession to a spirit of prejudice whose growth bores no good to the future peace of this country.
The President has been deemed a national man—a man free from local prejudice which it has been the business of politicians of some states to keep alive. Yet he is the first president, contrary to the principles of equality and justice that he has preached with so much energy and power, to countenance Jim-Crowism in the conduct of the national government. During the recent campaign the President wrote a letter to which he justly questioned the Americanism of any voter who permitted himself to be swayed by religious prejudice when making his ballot. Race prejudice is meaner and
more dangerous 'than religious' prejudice.
The President, a man of, southern birth and broad principles, should lose no time in ordering the rescinding of the McAdoo and Burleson orders. The racehatred fomenters will accept from him action they would blindly oppose if it came from a president of northern birth. He has a chance, just as the Negro orator, declared, to be a second Abraham Lincoln by starting and leading a movement that will emancipate the race from disabilities under which it now labors, even as it was emancipated fifty years ago from involuntary servitude. The first and greatest of progressive principles is equality be fore the law.
An important lesson, our people with money to spend should learn, is to have that man, firm or corporation understand that he or they cannot handle or spend our money unless they are willing to accord us, at least, decent treatment.
Some days ago a certain white collector for a furniture company came into a certain Negro insurance office where two cultured and refined young women were at work, and stalked right up to the desk where one of them was with hat on and with an air of split-hoof importance, and called for his weekly installments. The gentleman in charge of affairs said to this cultured and refined gentleman(?), "Should I or any other Negro man have business to transact with you or any other white firm or any of their employees, and go into an office where ladies are at work, certainly common decency would suggest that we remove our hats upon entering." The look that this refined and cultured gentleman(?) gave the Negro man in charge of affans in this office showed very plainly that the Negro man was speaking to this important gentleman(?), who makes his grits and gravey absolutely out of the nickels and dimes collected from Negro men and women, in an unknown tongue. The Negro man became so disgusted at such cheap personified importance that he told this great man who makes his living out of a people whom he hates, that he, the Negro man, will see to it that the bill referred to in the above, owed by one of his employees, will be paid month by check, direct to the house.
Now if these little self-important fellows come into our biggest offices and perform so.beautifully, what may be expected when they go into some of our humble homes, where none but helpless widows and children are to be found?
A Negro Furniture Store
A Negro Furniture Store This thought brings us to a realization of our needs for on up-to-date furniture store. Our people must have furniture and, as a result of the high cost of living or "the cost of high living" and small wages, the masses of our people, for a long time to come, must of necessity buy the bulk of their furniture on the installment plan. Let some of our business men with money and credit who wish to do something for themselves and the race, take this matter up and begin an organization of a stock company to supply our people with their furniture, mattings, etc.
Dr. Dowling of Louisiana Here Saturday Dr. Booker T. Washington, the wizard of Tuskegee, telegraphed the Negro Business League through Mr. Walter Scott, a member of the executive board the following:
Mr. W. S. Scott, Savannah, Ga. "Dr. Oscar Dowling, president of the Louisiana state board of health and president of the Southern Medical Association, will be in Savannah from one thirty p. m. November 20th to one thirty-five p. m. November 21st, with his health cars. He has a health exhibit that all of our people in Savannah ought to see. I would suggest that you consult with him as to arrangements for our people We have had exhibits here. It richly deserves your cooperation. No expenses involved. Would suggest cooperation of all our ministers and business men with you in this effort." Signed.
"Booker T. Washington" It is very desirous on the part of the Negro Business League that quite a number of our ministers and men and women will avail themselves of the opportunity to visit Dr. Dowling's health
cars this Saturday, which will be at the Union station. At this writing we cannot state the exact time that Dr. Dowling will tender the reception to our people, but we are assured that it will be this Saturday morning between the hours of nine and twelve, city time. Those who are interested and wish to see this exhibit, free of cost, will be advised as to the time by calling any of the following phone numbers: 2540-1198-2171-4096-4129-676-4323-3741-2829-4812-3461-3825 J-4291-506-1869 J-3227 L-3576 4580-5268 L-4275-1522-3988 1278-866-2870-1918-3713-4847-1487—and when you are told the time of the reception, be sure to be on time, as you can ill afford to miss such an opportunity.
Dr. Washington's Visit
Norfolk, Va.. Nov. 14th—In connection with his visit to Norfolk and the Peninsular region of Virginia this week, to speak at annual meeting of the Virginia Organization Society and at several meetings arranged at various points on the Peninsular, by Major R. R. Moton and other officers of the Va. Organization Society, Principal Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, visited Williamburg, the seat of the second oldest College in the United States. William and Mary College stands foremost among the educational institutions for the education of white Southern young men and women. When it was announced that Dr. Washington was to speak at the Court House of Williamsburg, at one of the meetings of the Va. Organization Society, the officers of William and Mary College extended an invitation to have Dr. Washington visit the school and speak to the students of this time honoured institution.
No white educator, or prominent citizen could have been more cordially received nor warmly welcomed than was of the true Tuskegeen. The young men and women of William and Mary College applauded, most warmly, the telling points of the address delivered by Dr. Washington, and especially those particular pleas of his for fair play at the hands of the white citizens of the South in the midst of whom the Negro people live. His plea for closer co-operation in all the essentials for mutual helping in the South was also received with every evidence of approval. After the meeting Dr. Washington was photographed with members of the faculty and officers of William and Mary College, and there was nothing, whatever, to indicate that there was not, on every side, the keenest appreciation of the fact that a great Southern educator was visiting William and Mary College. In presenting him to the students of the school it was indicated by the presiding officer that theris is, at this famous seat of education, the keenest appreciation of Dr. Washington's contribution to the educational life of the country. William and Mary College has a distinguished list of graduates; among others are Presidents Thos Jefferson, James Monroe, John Tyler and Wm. H. Harrison; also Chief Justice John Marshall and Gen. Winfield Scott; and in later years, representatives from the most distinguished families of the South. The school was founded in 1693.

The Ones Higher Up.
REV. J. S. S. and Mr. E. W. S. took out some insurance with the Ga. Mutual recently. Not because we are going to find any greater value in the
any greater value in the amount of money paid to us by these two prominent gentlemen than the money paid to us by anybody else, is why we are making special mention of it; but because it has been truthfully said, that the ones higher up are the ones that can be less depended upon for the support of Negro business, hence. It is the support of the ordinary Negro that has made possible whatever success we have attained. So we are offering this to proye-that, alas we are "coming home, never more to roam." We are very much appreciative.

A Lame Excuse.
"A French sentinel in Algeria," said a playwright, "had for his colonel a very tall, lanky, round shouldered man. This round shouldered colonel one night was making a quiet inspection. Passing the sentinel, he found, to his rage and indignation, that he was not challenged. So he returned to the man and roared: "You didn't challenge me!"
"N-no, sir,' faltered the sentinel, saluting.
"Well, why didn't you?' the colonel demanded.
"Excuse me, sir,' said the sentinel,
'but I thought-I beg your pardon, sir
-I thought you was a camel.'"
Lincoln's Companions
When Abraham Lincoln in 1860 sought solitude that he might write his inaugural address he asked his friend Herndon for a copy of the constitution, for Webster's reply to Hayne, for Jackson's proclamation against nullification and for Henry Clay's speech on the compromise on 1850.

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
The outbreak of the foo-and-mouth disease has already affected an area so large that it is evident that most active measures are necessary to eradicate it. Cases have been found as far apart as Iowa and Massachusetts, and at the time of this writing (Nov.10) 13 States have been quarantined: Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Maryland, Iowa, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Delaware. Interstate shipment of live stock from these states are absolutely prohibited, and such articles as hides, straw, hay, etc., must be thoroughly disinfected before they can be moved in interstate commerce. Both in virulence and in extent of area affected the present outbreak is more serious than any of the five previous ones which have occurred in the United States.
These previous outbreaks have not been sufficiently serious to familiarize farmers with the symptoms of the disease or to render them fully alive to the losses that it occasions when permitted to gain a firm foothold. One of its most dangerous characteristics is its extreme contagiousness. Not only may it be conveyed directly from one animal to another, but it may be transported in fodder, picked up from the ground and carried over the country by cats, dogs and chickens, or communicated through the agency of man. Cases have already been found in which it seem certain that the disease was spread by the curiosity of farmers to inspect suffering animals. They return from these visits to communicate the disease to their own previously healthy herds.
The contagiousness of the disease explains the action of the Federal authorities in quarantining such large,areas. The practice is to clap a blanket of quarantine on the state in which the disease has been found, and then, by careful investigation, determine the exact area infected. When an animal suffering from foot-and-mouth disease is discovered in a herd the whole herd is at once slaughtered. Otherwise it would remain a dangerous source of infection and be a menace to the entire community. It is customary to appoint an appraiser to value the herd. One-half of the appraised value is paid the owner by the Federal Government and one-half by the state. The slaughtered animals are buried in a deep trench, the hides slashed to make it useless for anyone to dig them up again, and the carcasses are saturated with quick lime. In this manner previous outbreaks have been completely stamped out and there is every reason to hope that this will be the case this year. The chief danger is that there may be infected herds whose existence is not reported to the proper authorities. Farmers are therefore urged, both for their own protection and as a duty to their neighbors, to rport
immediatly all cases of suspicious sore mouths or lameness among their stock. Foot-and-mouth disease affect chiefly cattle, sheep, goats, and swine, but there are a number of other animals of less commercial importance which are also susceptible. Occasionally human beings are affected, but in the majority of instances the disease is not severe in the case of man. Children, however, may become dangerously ill if their milk is affected.
The first indications of the disease are a chill followed by a high fever, the temperature rising rapidly, sometimes to 106 degrees F. In a short time vesicles about the size of a pea appear in the mouth at the end of the tongue, on the inside of the cheeks, and on the gums. These vesicles contain a yellowish watery fluid. They spread as the disease advances and causes the animal to open and shut its mouth uneasily with a characteristic smacking sound. A day on two after the first appearance of the eruption in the mouth similar indications appear upon the feet, which are swollen, red and tender. Because of this animal frequently persists in lying down, and bedsores develop with much rapidity. In the case of cows the udder and, more frequently, teats are affected by a similar eruption.
Once the disease is well established it becomes so painful for the animal to eat that food is frequently refused altogether. Strings of saliva hang from the mouth, and flesh is lost with astonishing rapidity. When the udder is seriously affected the milk becomes contaminated and may cause serious results to suckling calves and young pigs. In mild cases from 10 to 20 days may bring about an apparent recovery, but this time may be greatly extended. Moreover, an apparent recovery by no means implies a real cure. The animal may carry the virus in its blood for a year or more and is liable during all this time to spread the contagion or to experience a recurrence itself. The mortality, considering the seriousness of the disease and the losses it occasions, is very small, being estimated some authorities at 5 per cent, although it frequently is much greater than this. The mortality, however, by no means represents the real losses occasioned by the disease. No revenue is possible from infected herds and in the case of darymen an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease frequently means that their business is completely rouined. Blooded or other cattle that have become sick with the disease naturally loses the value as breeding animals. It is, however, impossible to get rid of the disease by ignoring it. The only possible remedy is to kill the infected herd, disinfect the premises and begin over again.
What the disease means to those countries where it has gained a real grip is shown by the fact that on its last serious outbreak in Germany the German Government spent $2,00,000 in fighting it. In 190 official statistics showed that in the German Empire 431,235 head of cattle, 230,868 sheep and goats, and 153,808 swine were affected with the disease. During the same year the pestilence ravaged live stock in France, Italy, Belgium, Austria Hungary, Switzerland, Roumania, and Bulgaria. In 1883 it was estimated that the disease cost England $5,000,000. On the occasion of the outbreak in the U.S., in 1908, $300,000 was appropriated by Congress, and with the exception of a few hundred dollars it in stamping out the disease. This of course does not include the indirect loss caused by the interruption of business and other factors.
While the Federal Government is active in fighting the disease through its power to control interstate commerce, cooperation on the part of the State authorities is most essential. The quarantining individually of infected farms is a state matter, and it is, of course, a most essential precaution. Farms on which the disease has broken out should be as rigidly quarantined as if some contagious human disease had been found. Since the germs can be transported by cats, dogs, chickens, or human beings, nothing should be allowed to leave the farm until the proper disinfecting measures have been taken. In particular, farmers are urged to keep away themselves, and to assist in keeping others away, from all infected animals. The inspectors who do the slaughtering and disinfecting are supplied with the necessary
equipment of rubber gloves, coats boots, and hats, which can be thoroughly disinfected as often as necessary. Others who lack this equipment merely help in spreading the disease over the country when they visit or inspect sick animals.

HIDING THE TRUTH
No good can come from a policy of hiding the truth. Be sure your sins will find you out, but there is no need to have sins. If you begin by hiding small things you will develop cowardice and dishonesty in almost everything you do.
THE REAL WORKER.
The man or woman who does work worth doing is the man or woman who lives, breathes and sleeps that work; with whom it is ever present in his or her soul; whose ambition is to do it well and feel rewarded by the thought of having done it well. That man, that woman, puts the whole country under an obligation.—John Ruskin.
RULE OF LIFE.
Look up and not down.
Look forward and not back.

THY BETTER SELF.
Be true to thy better self. The noblest thing you ever did, the noblest emotion you ever felt, the deepest and most self sacrificing love ever in your soul, that is your true self still through all the baser life into which you may have fallen.—Phillips Brooks.

Old Uncle Andy was steering his master's boat down the bay. They passed an ocean liner.
"Andy," said Mr. Blank, "just look how high that ship stands out of the water. I wonder why it is."
"Why, boss," answered the old darky, "don't you know? We ain't had no rain for nigh on three weeks now, and de water's gittin' low."--New York Post.
The Oldest Bridge In Parla
The Oldest Bridge in Paris
The Pont Notre Dame is the oldest bridge in Paris. It was first built in 1413 in the reign of Charles VI., but it was carried away, together with the houses which lined it, by ice floes when the frost broke in 1499. A new bridge was begun at once under the direction of Jean Joconde of Verona and was ready for traffic in 1507. On that bridge stood the famous picture shop of Gersaint, which had a signboard specially painted for it by Watteau.—Westminster Gazette.
The English Language
The English Language. The English language contains about 600,000 words, but of this total nearly one-half consists 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.

tions whether clubs or dancing
class are at liberty to Adopt
their own prices of admission, all
the hall agents can account for is
his amount charged for the rent-
ing of his hall. Now, Mr. Club
Man, we the Metronome Orches-
tra started our ‘dancing class in
_ February of 1913 with good faith
and desire to entertain the young
folks as well as the older ones.
Our motives are to give our pa-
trons an enjoyable time. By our
courteousness and especially our
classical music, which is second
to none in the city, we have
gained the best wishes and atten-
dance of the general public old
and young. We assure them
clean and respectful dancing, we
protect them by our good order
by refusing the admittance of
ruffians and disreputable boys,
men, girls and women, we cater
to none but the best class of peo-
ple of the general public regard-
less of any standing. I am cog-
nizant of the fact that several
clubmen are aiming strictly at
the Metronome yct they are our
so called friends. Mr. Clubman,
adopt the plans of the Metronome
and other dancing classes, cater
to the general public, exclude ruf-
fians and disreputable characters,
assure good order and decent
dancing, be sociable with all, be
painstaking with your friends
and attendants, be sure to con-
duct your dances and hours as
well as your prices to suit your
friends on any occasion whether
ball, banquet or dancing class.
Mr. Clubman, be game, adopt our
idea of courteousness, cater to
the general public, don’t be dead
and tnentertaining, protect your
patrons, do not war against us,
there is no use, you are wasting
time for we are harmless. ; follow
the precedent which we have es-
tablished and you too will be suc-
cessful regardless to prices
whether large or small.
Yours for the peace and sociality

Dancing Classes are Hurting
Mr. Editor:
I noticed in the last issue of
The Tribune an article under the
caption, “Are the Dancing Classes
Hurting?” Having studied the
matter closely, and noticing the
decrease in attendance of the
dances recently given by several
leading social clubs of the city,
T have reached the conclusion that
the dancing classes “are hurting”,
and there is no doubt about it,
and one who has given the affair
the least attention, can easily ob-
serve it. The social clubs of the
‘city and societies that have been
the support of the various halls
for these many years have been
made to suffer financially on ac-
count of the low prices of admis-
sion charged by the dancing
classes. I feel as though some
step should be taken to protect
the clubs and societies ,against
these low prices of admission fee
and I think that the hall commit-
tees should come to the rescue of
those who have-been their main
support in this line. Why should
they call these dances “dancing
classes.” There is no instructor
at these socalled dancing classes
nor are there any pupils to receive
dancing lessons. In my opinion,
they ‘are nothing but a cheap 1c
and 15 cents dance run under an
assumed name. The monies ac-
cruing from the dancing classes
are divided among a few and
reach no further than the in-
dividual potkets, while the monies
made at the dances given by the
social clubs and socicties are usec
for the caring of their sick
members , burying their dead and
disbursed in many other charita-
ble ways. Again these dancing
classes, except two are operated
by the orchestras that have beer
furnishing music for the clubs and
societies at a very unreasonable
high figure. These orchestras
" can afford to charge a low admis-
sion fee for there is only a small
expense attached to the dancing
glasses. The usual expense, as
I understand it, is $6.00 for hall
and $1.00 for a permit; while on
the other hand the clubs and
societies have to pay $10.00 for
orchestra, $2.00 for piano, $5.00
hall, $1.00 for a permit and some
amount hardly below $5.00 for ad-
vertisement. I sight these fig-
ures to show that the social clubs
and societies could not afford to
give dances cheaper than the us-
ual admission fee of 25 cents. Ii
the managers of the dancing
classes are game, they, would fal!
in line and charge the usual ad-
mission fee; they would not take
advantage of those who have
given them work to do all along:
they should remember the bridge
‘that has takeri them over safe
ly and practice the golden rule
“do unto others as you wish they
should do unto you.”

hours to pay a visit to our Lord
present in the holy eucharist.

Talladega Wins From Fisk
Dmaruing under the severe de-
feat adminstcied to them by
Morchouse on the 24th, Talladega
Cuilege took revenge on Fisk on
last Daturday by boating her 6 to
0. It was very close game, the
Jone touctidown being scored in the
ast few minutes of play. ‘The
teams were about evenly matched
the Tennessee boys being a bit
quicker than their heavier Ala-
bama opponents. Jt was the
opinion of everyone that the
result would bea scoreless tie,
but Fisk in punting out of danger
sent the ball into the arms of
Bell of Talladega. The crimson
boys then formed perfect inter-
ference, thus allowing Bell to rur
unhamped 25 yards for a tonch-
down. Although every man on
both teams starred, the general.
ship of Tate, quarter back for
|Talladegs, and of Lewis, quarte
back for Fisk, deserves specia
mention. J. G. Seaborough, #
Savannah boy, was iathe line-uy
for Talladega and played an ex
cellent game.
Talladega Swamps A. U.
Atlanta University and Talla-
dega met on the gridiron in a
game last Friday which resulted
in ascore of 32—O0 in favor of
Talladega. Both teams played
hard but A. U. was completely
outclassed both in weight and
skill. Moore’s excellenttoe work
and Bell’s broken field running
were the features of the game.
‘Moore kicked two goals from
field and three gouls from touch-
down. Frazier, right tackle for
Talladega, blocked a punt and re-
covered it behind A. U.. goal fo:
a touchdown. Elder of A. U.
played a good end and received
some difficult foward passes.
This closes, up the Talladege
games until Thenksgivng wher
she meets Tuskegee in Birming-
ham. This game promises to be
the feature of the season.
