Monticello, Ga., Jan 15—Four Negroes, two women and two men, were taken from the county jail here last night by a mob of about 200 masked men, marched to a tall pine tree in the center of a Negro settlement on the out- skirts of Monticello, hanged one ‘by one, and then riddled with t pultets. The Negroes were Dan- jel Barber, his _ two married daughters, ‘Eula Charles and Ella Charles, and his son, Jesse. Their ‘bodies were Icfl hanging until to day, when they were cut down by the authorities. An attack on Chief of Police Williams, when he entered to ar- rest the Negroes Wednesday night on the charge of selling in- toxicants illegally, led to the kill- ings. The officer was badly clubbed and claimed Barber’s wife, daughters and son attacked him while Barber threatened to shoot him. Barber’s wife was shot and badly wounded during the struggle. Sheriff Ezell was ” notified of the trouble and hurried to the scene; forcing the Negroes to submit to arrest. Barber's wife, who was wounded, was left sbehind. She is in a critical con- dition to-night. 7 Sheriff Overpowered. Feeling aroused by the incident resulted in the mob forcing its way into the jail last night. The sheriff was overpowered, the cell keys taken from his clothing and the Negroes removed. In the early part of last evening a crowd of 200 men appeared at the jail and forced Sheriff Ezell to hand @ver the keys of that in- stitution, over which Ezell has _been in charge only since the first of January. - The cells of the jail were un- locked and the Negroes were marched out, followed ‘by the crowd. They were directed to go to Washington Park, a mile and a half from the jail and on the op- posite side of the city from the scene of the raid. Near the park is a big Negro settlement. Those in the crowd were heavily armed and frequently as they marched along the street a pistol popped. But there was no at- tempt on the life of the Negroes until they reached the heart of the Negro settlement at Wash- ington Park. The Negroes made no attempt to get away, it is said. The Negroes were lynched. The Negroes were first hung to limbs of trees and then their bodies were riddled with bullets. Women Lynched Last. Barber was first lynched then his son and the two Negro wo- men last, according to the best in- Aormation obtainable. Hundreds of shots were fired by the lynch- ers. The bodies were left dangl- ing to the trees until this morning when they ‘vere cut down by the authorities and turned over to the undertakers. With the lynching over Mon- ticello people went to bed last night, determined that no news of the affair should reach the out- side world. But persons going to other towns from Monticello scattered the information. - Chief of Police Williams was snot as badly hurt in the fight at ‘the Barber home as has been re- ‘ported. He was on the streets late this afternoon— Savannah Morning News. —_ re —e Daughter Born to Mr. and Mrs.|¥! R. E.

C.,Jan. 19—A scathing arraignment of the treatment of Alaskan natives by the white men is coupled with charges of wholesale and contin- ual violation of the liquor laws and statues to protect fish and fur-bearing animals of Alaska and the Pribilof and Aleutian Is- lands, in a report submitted to President Wilson and Secretary Redfield to-day by Dr. E. Lester Jones, deputy commission of fish- eriés. : Dr. Jones recently returned from Alaska, where he spent six months making a survey of the fishing and fur seal industries land studying the administration of the various islands. He con- tended that proper regulation would be facilitated by giving giving full authority over the in- \dustries to the Department of Commerce. He also recommend- fed immediate measures for pro- tection of the natives and rehab- ilitation of their morals. “The white man’s lack of care and regard for the sanctity of the native’s home is the crime of Alaska,” the report, says. “In many sections the wife and daughters are dishonored, and any resistance from the husband, father or brother is overcome by threats and bribes and liquor un- til all the men have all their best impulses and senses deadened and seem to be unmanned, * ‘ “Wherever the white man has settled the saloon prevails and that has more to do with the ruin- ation of the Indian and Aleuate than all other causes. 5 “I am advised by reliable au- thority that up to this year there had not been a single conviction by a jury.in Alaska. I am glad to say that there has been a change of sentiment against those who do not regard the laws as serious, and recently the juries in two courts have brought in verdicts against those who had disobeyed the law.” The report adds that it is abso- lutely necessary to have more boats and funds to enforce laws and protect the fishing industry, worth nearly $20,000,000 a year. Wholesale killing of fur-bear- ing animals by those who spend their time trapping and hunting at all. times of the year, the re- port declares, has made it neces- sary to reach back into unexplor- ed regions in order to keep up the supply of furs. The commission suggests adop- tion of closed seasons, especially for salmon, and urgently indorses government inspection of the product of every cannery in Alas- ka. PERRY WINS BIG SUIT. Noted Brooklyn Lawyer Scores in Queens County Court. Recent, victories achieved by Attorney Rufus L. Perry, 375 Fulton street, Brooklyn, shows that he is a very able lawyer. | Among the recent triumnhs is that of Cecelia Welstead, 16 years old, of 13 Horton place, Far Rock- away, a few days ago, who re- ceived a verdict for $20,000 by a jury before Justice Scudder in the Queens County Supreme Court. The suit was instituted ‘by the girl’s father, John Wel- stead, who was appointed guar- dian, and who sued for $50,000. John A. Kilgalion, son of Luké R. Kilgallon, a wealthy real es- tate promoter, the dcfendent, through his attorney, will appeal the verdict in the Appellate Divi- sion. | Miss Welstead’s back — was broken two years ago and she is ‘crippled for life. The upper por- tion ‘of her body is in a plaster cast, ‘ |” On the witness stand she told the jury she went toa social affair on August 20, 1912. Kilgallon in- vited her to go home in his auto- mobile. Instead of Kilgailon taking her home, she says, he went on a joy ride. Herran into a wagon and she ‘was hurled out. —Brooklyn Standard Union.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Jan.,16 —After considering the whole matter carefully, I am authorized by the Exécutive Committee of the National Business League to invite the following organiza- tions, as well as others to be named later, to unite with the league in observing a National Health Week: Daily and weekly newspapers, health journals, The National Medical Association, The National Association of Col- ored Women’s Clubs, The Na- tional League on Urban Condi- tions Among Negroes, National lal Association of Teachers in Col- ered Schools, The National Negro Press Association, the bishops and other Officers of Colored re- ligious denominations, annual church conférences and associa- ‘tions, secret society organizations colored insurance companies, farmers conferences farmers In- provement societies, churches, schools and other local organiza- |tions, and State health officers. In Alabama, Louisiana, North Cardlina_and other states special Health Days have at.one time or another been observed. For some years‘the Virginia Organi- zation Society, under the legder- ship of Major R. R. Morton, has observed a health, or Clean Up Week. It is thought to be well to unite all these efforts into a national movement and join this movement onto the Virginia ef- fort. . : It is thought the race will wel- ceme this opportunity to unite all these efforts into one great Na- tional Health Movement, and thus gain the benefit of the momentum and the enthusiasm that will come from a great united Health Move- ment. Without health and until we can reduce our high death rate it will be impossible for us to, have permanent success in business, in property getting, in acquiring ed- ucation’ or to show other evi- dences of progress, Without health and long life all else fails. The following facts will illus- trate something of the need and importance of this movement: 450,000 Negraes in the South alone, are seriously ill all the time; the annual cost of sickness of these 450,000 Negroes is $75,- 990,000. 112,000 Negro: workers in the South alone are sick all‘the time; their annual loss in earn- ings $45,000,000; 45 per cent of annual deaths among Negroes are preventable. 225,000 Negroes in the South alone die annually; 100,000 of these deaths can be prevented. The annual funeral expense of ithe Négroes in the South amounts to $15,000,000 $6,500,000 of this amount could be saved. Sickness and death cost Negroes of the South alone $100,000,000 annually, $50,000,00 of this amount could be saved. We must reduce our high death rate, dethrone disease and en- throne health and long life. We may differ on other subjects, but there is no room for difference here. Let us makea strong, long and united pull together. Other facts will appear in the weekly press and m_ circulars from week to week, and infor- mation will be gladly. furnished.

Enterprises | AT BUSINESS LEAGUE ‘Large Crowd Present at Meet- ing—Review of Negro Busi- ness Enterprises by Several Spéakers. + * Hs The first public meeting of the year of the local branch of the National Negro Business League took place Thursday-night at the First Bryan Baptist Church and was attended by a large and en- thusiastic crowd. The meeting was presided over by A. B. Sing- field, president of the local league, and ‘had as its principal speaker the Rev. J. Mastin, pastor of St. Paul C. M. E. Church. Rev. Martin’s talk, which consumed about twenty minutés, was an ar- dent appeal for the support, and encouragement of Negro business enterprises, Several times dur- ing the midst, of his talk, the speaker swwas interupted .by ap- plause. - Aside from that of Rey. -Mar- tin, there were talks on busi- ness progress of the race made hy G.'H.

Stevens and Miss Geneva Fisher, duet by Mrs. and Miss Janie Blake, and two selections by the choir of th¢ First Bryan Baptist Church. Interesting circulars giving the following ten reasons why Negroes should support Negre enterprises were distributed by the league: First—Because a race is a family, and we.help ourselves by patronizing our brothers and sis- tres in busmess. Second—It is the most direct road-to success. Third—It has been the secret ol the success of all other races. Fourth—Negroes in business, as a rule, have no others to de- pend upon. ~ . Fifth—It shows race pride and commands the respect of others, Sixth—It will make us strong as a race and as ‘individuals, as terprises, we become sei! sustain liant.

The profit on this enormous amount of business is at least $500,000.00 annually. By buying our groceries from Negro grocers it would enable them/’to give em- ployment to nearly 500 Negro men, women, boys and girls at an average salary of $50.00 per month each, and then leave a bal- ance of $225,000.00 for other pur- poses. The same principle will apply to shoes, clothing, home- buying, Nanking and other busi- ness enterprises. HOWARD UNIVERSITY ISSUES INTEREST- ING PAMPHLET . A pamphlet recently issued by the commercial college of How- ard University, Washington, D. C., on studies of Negroes in busi- ness brings out a wealth of im- portant and interesting informa- tion on the business done dy Ne- gro banks. The pamphlet contains an in- teresting comparative study be- tween’ 21 banks selected from the Atlanta University studies in 1907 and 21 banks selected by the com- mercial college of Howard Uni- versity in 1914, and shows the gain in amount of paid in capitat fora period of seven years, 1907- 1914, 1s $101,904.64 or 36 per cent The pamphlet further shows that there is a loss exhibited in. the a- mount of surplus of $58,364.68 or 32 per cent. “But”, it goes on, “as a matter of fact larger sums ‘of money paid in have found still larger opportunities for the ex- [pansion of loans. The deposits show a, decided gain of $470,069. 89 or 42 percent. Fot,21 banks ‘in 1914 there were deposits of $1,537,907-89. by 30,821 depositors, an average of $51.06 for each de- positor.” | OF the banks mentioned, the ‘Wage Earners bank of this city ‘shows a surplus amount on hand of $32,815.20, this being a little over eleven thousand * dollars more,than that of any other Ne- ‘gro bank in the country. The Wage Earners statement of De- cember 3ist shows'a paid in cap- ital of $41,68.00 against $49,938.10 in the pamphlet, and a surplus of $48,367.23 against $32,815.92 in the pamphlet. 7 As to the number of depositors, the Alabama Penny Savings bank. of Birmingham, Ala., is shown to be the first with 10,000, the Solvent Savings and Trust com- pany, of Memphis, Tenn., second, and the Wage Earners of this city, third. The pamphlet shows that in 1914 there were 64 Negro banks in the country, gives the number of failures that have taken place among Negro banking insti- tutions, and also tells of the first banks established by them in this country. Aside from this, it contains other valuable data on™ the banking business ,done by members of the race and also the annual statements issued by six- teen banks, the names of the pres- idents of the various banks and the cuts of several of the bank buildings. The concluding statement ih the pamphlet is: “One fact is preeminent, that the Negro bank- ing institutions are contributing no mean part in the striving of a group to become economically independent.” | Special Notice. ‘The annual meeting of the poli- cyholders of the Guaranty Mu- tual Life and Healts Insurance Company will be held at the office of the company, 504 West Broad strect, Savannah, Ga., at 8 p. m., February 9th, 1915.

Martin, pastor of St. Paul C. M. E. Church, officiated. Y. W. C A, Notes. _ The regular weekly meeting of the Y. W. C. A. was held at St. Philip’s Church West Broad St., on last Sunday. A regular pro- gram will be rendered every Sun- day. Friends are cordially in- vited to attend. é However much doubt may be cast on the so-called higher degrees in their relation to the system of Freemasonry, no such reflection can be applied to the Holy Royal. Arch degree, which is so accurately interwoven with the traditions of the Craft. As the cap stone in the topmost of the building and the last laid, so the R. A. is the crowning degree of Craft Freemasonry, the completion of the whole structure. Dr. Oliver says: "If we pass on the R. A., we receive a wonderful accession of knowledge, and find everything made perfect; for this is the ne plus of Masonry, and can never be exceeded by any human institution." Dermott, an old writer, goes further, and says "This I firmly believe to be the root, heart and marrow of Masonry," and Hutchinson (quoting from Mackey), speaking of it, use the following remarkable language: "As Moses was commanded to pull his shoes from off his feet on Mount Horeb because the ground whereon he trod was sanctified by the presence of the Divinity so the Mason who would prepare himself for this exalted stage of Masonry should advance in the naked path of truth, be divested of every degree of arrogance, and approach with steps of innocence, humility, and virtue, to challenge the ensigns of an order whose institutions arise on the most solemn and sacred principles of religion." Mackey himself says: "This degree brings to light many essentials of the Craft which were for the space of 470 years buried in darkness, and at the same time impresses on the mind of the possessor the belief in a Supreme Being and the reverence due to His Holy name.—H. J. T. Williams, New Zealand. The Superficial Mason. It is somewhat appalling to note the utter indifference existing among so many Masons on the subject of reading, and the enormous amount of energy expended in trying to "pass the chairs" without learning anything, says Bro. J. B. G. Garrett, of Tennessee. The many Masons of the present day are Past Masters, Past High Priests and Past Commanders proudly wearing the fez of the shriner, when the simplest lesson of the Entered Apprentice has never dawned upon them. What has a brother gained by passing the chair, in all of the bodies, who has not learned how to subdue the passion—the unruly tongue, the desire for intoxicants, the habit of gambling, the unholy words that day by day fall from his lips. A Mason who has not learned to control a sharp, cutting tongue in conversation should never be allowed to receive more than the first degree—he would not keep the obligation of the second if he could not keep that of the first. No Mason can really become proficient in the wonders of Freemasonry unless he studies and reads constantly, practically applying the truths he has absbed. Reading Masons know this. They are the men upon whom the Craft can rely when assailed by the votaries of Superstition and Ignorance.—Square and Compass. * * * There is nothing that will send a lodge into Masonic bankruptcy as quickly as slip-shod methods of business and work. Carelessness in administering the affairs of the lodge leads to carelessness in attendance, and as a result, the lodge degenerates and loses whatever influence for good it may have had. Illinois Freemason. Our lives should tally with our professions. Masons should never neglect to attend masonic funerals. Masonry is a character-builder. Let us lay the foundations deep and broad. The brotherhood of man is not a dream, and Masonry will aid in its fulfilment. If Masonry does not regulate your everyday conduct, it means but little for you.—Herald Hope in Immortality. "Faith in God, Hope in Immortality, Charity for all mankind." This is the creed of Masonry, and it is a glorious one. "Hope in Immortality!" What would men be, were it not for this hope. We can bear the ills of today, the sorrows of tomorrow, the wrong, the injustice, the mis- understanding, of our fellows, while this hope of immortality illumines our souls. Without it the darkness of despair. Well it is that an omnipotent God has planted in every human heart this radient, ever-blooming flower, that even death itself can not crush. Masonry does not sympathize with the unbelief of the agnostic. It does not.sympathize with the doctrine that death ends all—that the grave is the end of all our hopes and aspirations. Rather does it teach, by rite and ceremony, by beautiful symbols and splendid allegory, that the soul is immortal, and that beyond all suns and stars, beyond the "smiling and the weeping," the immortal spirit dwells forever with its Father and its God. \*\*\* Wealth may fly away,but our Masonic manhood is built upon the rock of eternity. At Asbury M. E. Church. The visit of Dr. C. C. Jacobs was a pleasure and his talks and sermon were inspiring and instructive. He will live long in the memory of those who heard him. Helpful services will be held tomorrow morning and night. Brotherhood, meeting, at 5:30 p.m. Visitors, welcomed. St. Stephen's Church You are cordially invited to attend the special missionary service for grown people and children at St. Stephen's Church Sunday night at 8 o'clock. Beth Eden Baptist Church Beth Eden Baptist Church, Rev. N. M. Clarke pastor, residence 214 E. Waldburg street. Services were well attended Sunday. The subject for the morning was "Greatness in the sight of the Lord", and for the night "Dewdrops from heaven." The church is now divided into two circles for work for 1915. Deacon Jos. N. Chisholm heads one circle and Mrs. A. E. Orner the other. These circles are planning to raise more money this year than has ever been raised in one year. Together with the work of these circles and that of the various committees of the Sunday school 1915 promises to be a great year with us. Services tomorrow as follows: Preaching 11 a. m., Sunday school 3:30 p. m., B. Y. P. U. 6:30 p. m., Preaching 8 p.m. We are always pleased to welcome our friends. Second Baptist Church. On last Sunday Rev. Gordon, one of the church's ordained ministers, preached at both services. His sermons were very impressive and instructive. The attendance was very good considering the inclement weather. The Sunday school met at 3:30 o'clock at which time the attendance was very good. The Rev. W. B. Davis is expected to be at home this week, at 516 Park Avenue east. Services for tomorrow as follows, Prayer' meeting at 5 a. m., preaching at 11 a. m., Sunday school at 3:30 p. m., B. Y. P. U. at 6:30 p. m., preachin at 8 p. m. Butler Presbyterian Church Butler Presbyterian Church, corner East Broad and McDonough streets, Rev. S. T. Redd pastor, residence 213 East Broad street. Last week was a very busy one for the pastor. On Wednesday night he preached at Friendship Baptist Church, to a large, and appreciative audience. He also preached two excellent sermons on Sunday. The Christian Endeavor is steadily gaining; the topic last Sunday was, "Living Christ in the home," led by Jas E. Collier. Services tomorrow, preaching 11:30 a.m., Sunday school 3 p.m., Christian Endeavor 7:30 p.m., preaching 8:30 p.m. Musical and feast will be held at the church on Thursday night February 4th. A very interesting program has been arranged for the occasion, which will be participated in by most of the ministers of the city. The ministers of the city will render music and will also render every number on the program. Admission will be 10 cents. A prize will be offered for the best solo rendered by a minister and also one for the minister who sings the best antebellum selection. St. Benedict's Church. The Catholi Mutual Aid elected new officers on Jan 11th, which are as follows: Mr. J. C. Williams president; Wm Bulloch, vice- president; Jos King, treasurer; Wm. Smith, secretary; Robert Gibson sergeant at arms; Richard Mills, chairman of the sick committee. The installation of same took place last Tuesday in the basement of the church, light refreshments were served, and everybody enjoyed a most charming evening. Tomorrow is the third and last Sunday after Epiphany. The gospel of the day relates the wonderful cure of the leper and of the servant of the centurian. Every member should be provided with a prayer book containing, besides the usual prayers of the mass and of the day, the epistles and gospels of every Sunday and Feast day of the year. The Epistles and Gosples are indeed the most practical part of the bible and give us the history and the doctrine of our Lord. Let everyone come in possession of a "Vey of Heaven" or of a "Manual of Prayers", which can be purchased in any Catholic book store at a very moderate sum. The rainy weather may be an excuse for many luke-warm christians for staying away from church on Sunday, but don't forget that in St. Benedict's Church three different morning services are held every Sunday. There is mass and sermon at 7 a.m. for the early risers; at 8 a.m. we have mass and preaching again, at 10:30 a.m., high mass and sermon. Our evening service is held at 8p.m. and consists of the recitation of the Rosary, sermon on the Apostle's Creed and Benediction of the blessed sacrament. Weekday mass takes place every morning at 6:45 a.m. Confessions are heard every Saturday and eve of feast day from 4:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. The congregational meeting, previously announced, and which had to be postponed on account of the unfavorable weather, will be held tomorrow night after the service. S. C. M. G. U. O. of O. F.,Hold First Session Since B. M. C. The Sub-Committee of Management of the Grand, United Order of Odd Fellows have been in session at the headquarters 12th and Spruce Sts., all this week. Grand Master Edward H. Morris of Chicago, presiding; Julius C. Johnson, Deputy Grand Master of Baltimore, Md.; W. David Brown, Grand Treasurer of New Yory; James F. Needham, Grand Secretary; Edward B. Van Dyke, Asst. Grand Secretary, of Philadelphia, and Grand Directors A. T. Shirley of Virginia; Rev. E. P. Jones of Mississippi; J. H. Johnson, North Carolina; Dr. I. T. Roberts of Massachusetts. Among the visitors were Perry W. Howard, Esq., of Mississippi; L. L. Edwards, Waycross, Ga.; W. T. Cozarts of New Jersey; Thornton M. Tate of Ohio; Edward Henry of New York; Mary A. Parker, R. W. G. S.; R. E. Robinson, A. W. Carpenter, G. Grant Williams of Philadelphia; Serena B. Shackelford, D. G. M.; N. G. Carrie E. Paul, D. G. R., and Levi Williams of New Jersey. There has been an unusual amount of business to be transacted and as this was the first meeting of the newly elected officer it necessitated extra sessions and also evening sessions. There were a number of appeals from different sources, and it is quite probable that the board will be in session until the week end. Among the most notable cases to be heard are the appeals of over 200 lodges in the state of Georgia who have been recommended by the District Grand Lodge of that state to be suspended by the Sub-Committee of Management. In the majority of the complaints the Hon. B. J. Davis is severely scored and the lodges feel that they are no better than slaves under his jurisdiction unless the sub-committee can remedy the same they will withdraw from the order and connect themselves with some other kind of trafernal society.

Edwards of Three Links Lodge 5647 Waycross, Ga., says every lodge in the United States and elsewhere are under the jurisdiction of the Sub-Committee of Management, except the lodges in the State of Georgia, and there he says Mr. Davis-tule is that there is no appeal from what Georgia does, as she is supreme and the S. C. M. has no authority, etc. The trouble referred to is caused by a special assessment that has been levied on the lodges of Georgia in the Endowment Department. This assessment was to continue until $300,000 was collected then discontinued. The $300,000 was collected by the District Grand Lodge of Georgia, and there Brother Edwards says B. J. Davis insists upon the lodges to continue paying the extra assessment, and because some have had courage enough to stand up for their rights as men and women and stop the B. J. Davis system—these lodges have been recommended to the S. C. M. for suspicion, and their names published in the Atlanta Independent of which B. J. Davis is publisher, and now the general public knows of it, because of its publication. The S. C. M. will no doubt render its decision during some of its executive sessions.

There are now 553,264 homes in Georgia, according to a report issued today by the Census Bureau, while ten years ago the number was 455,557, compared with 352,059 homes in 1890. Fifty per cent of the Georgia homes are farm homes, compared with 49 per cent in 1900 and 50 per cent in 1890. The number of homes in this state free from incumberance at the present time is 130,896, while 27,588 are encumbered and 373,887 are rented. In the entire nation there are 20,255,555 homes. Of this number 6,123,610 are farm and 14,131,945 are urban homes. The Return of Charles Dana Gibson.

There is no warmth of good cheer in a blazing house. Only misery and want and woe can echo from homes destroyed, from business houses wrecked, from savings vanished via the fire route. And fires are the fruits of human acts of commission and omission. They do not start of their own accord. They must always have a human being for a partner! This being the case, why not cultivate a little foresight? Why not keep your premises clear of trash, of litter, of waste, of such things that are excellent fire food. When properly curbed and circumscribed, a cheering fire is a thing that makes a most excellent servant, contributing greatly to the comforts of man. But to fire a servant requires constant and uniceasing vigil. While a good servant it is a most exacting master. --- Are you doing your full share toward preventing fires? If you are you merit the thanks of your neighbors. Every time a house is destroyed your neighbors must stand their full part of the fire insurance you may collect.

C., Jan.—The Census Bureau has recently published some very encouraging figures showing that the death rate is steadily falling in the registration area of the United States, a pretty fair test of the whole, as it includes 65 per cent of the population. In 1913 the death rate was 14.1 for each thousand of the estimated population, which is a decrease of 13 per cent, or one death in eight, from 16.2, the average from 1091 to 1905: If the same rate had prevailed in 1913 as in the years 1901-1905, there would have been 1,025,446 deaths instead of 809,823, an excess of 134,623. tricts was 12.7 and 15 in the cities. Agriculture has sunk its roots deeply into government and industry during the past decade, and in our mad rush to increase production, the marketing side of our farm problems has been overlooked. Production without profit is no incentive to the farmer. We Solicit Your Patronage. The number of mortgaged homes in the United States is 31,000,000, while 6,000,000 are free of debt and the remainder are rented.

Most of the officers and noncommissioned officers have names that finish with "dar," for a sergeant is a "havildar." A corporal, however, is called a "nalk," while the private is a "sepoy." The only infantry regiments in which private soldiers are not known as "sepoys" are the Ghurka regiments. A Ghurka private is distinguished as a rifleman. In the cavalry a trooper or private is called a "sowar," a sergeant is a "dufadar" and a captain a "risaldar." Other ranks are similar to those in the infantry.—London Answers. All the Bank's Fault. Mrs. Barrows was worried. That fact was evident to her husband, although she endeavored to maintain a cheerful manner. Before the evening meal was over, however, he discovered the cause of her anxiety. "Will," said she, "I am very much afraid that my bank is in a bad way." "How foolish, Mabel! Don't let that cause you a moment's worry. Why, it's one of the strongest financial institutions in the state. Whatever got that idea into your head? "Well, it's very strange," replied Mrs. Barrows, still unconvinced. "They've just returned a check of mine for $40 marked 'No funds.'"—Harper's Magazine. Whittier's Applause. In his declining years the poet Whitier was extremely absentminded. He attended a church meeting where there were a large number of persons. As his presence was known, it was deemed fitting by one of the speakers to quote the poet's lines: Beyond his love and care. Great applause greeted the quotation, and Whittier joined in the hand-clapping. "I suppose I must have had my mind on something else. I had no recollection of having written the verse." he said apologetically when his attention was called to the authorship 2 Taste Differs In Girls and Boys. Taste Differs in Girls and Boys. Girls have more sensitive taste for bitter flavors than boys, and boys have a more sensitive taste for sweet flavors than girls, according to Dr. G. Cohn, author of a book on "Organic Flavoring Materials," published in Berlin. The taste of boys and girls for saltiness is equal. Among adults woman has a taste for sweet, bitter and sour that is more highly developed than that of man. For salty things there is little difference, man, if anything, being slightly more sensitive than woman. Eakimo Hloh Kickers Instead of using only one leg in the standing high kick Eskimos employ both feet, just as they would in a high jump. Although handicapped in this way, by throwing the head and the shoulders higher than the feet a record of six feet nine inches has been established. No other people enjoy more than the Eskimos the exhibiting of their athletic abilities. Whenever there is a national celebration they literally flock into Nome by the hundreds, instant on displaying their prowess. Dunes and Downs "Dunes," as we call hillocks and ridges of sand, is the same word as our "downs," and the adverb "down" is really the same word too. It was originally "adown," a corruption of the Anglo-Saxon "of dune," meaning from the down or hill. So the substantive "down" and the adverb "down" have come to suggest almost diametrically opposite ideas, and the phrase "down in the valley" when looked into proves to be one of the strangest in the language.—London Spectator. Hadn't Been Taught. Little Grace, who had recently entered school, brought horse some pumpkin seed one day and told her mother that the teacher said that although the seed was white the pumpkin would be yellow. "And what will the color of the vines be?" her mother asked. Grace replied that the teacher had not taught her that yet. "I know, dear, but we have pumpkin vines in our garden, and you must know what color they are." "Oh, of course I do, mother, but we can't supposed to know anything until we're taught," replied Grace convincingly.—National Magazine. Microbes In Kizzes.

Yonkers Statesman. The Crab In the Oyster "The little crab found in the oyster," said a dealer, "is not, as supposed by two-thirds of the oyster eaters, the young of the blue crab, but is a distinct species. It is a messmate of and caterer to the wants of the oyster, being, therefore, a benefit instead of a detriment to the latter. In return for the oyster's kindness in protecting it against its enemies the little crab catches and crushes food which in its entire state could not be taken by the oyster. A singular thing in connection, with them is that all found inside of the oyster are females. The male of the same variety has a hard shell."—Exchange. A surprise for a hunter and another for a Panther. An old hunter tells of a curious experience he had some years ago in the Ozarks. He had been trampling all morning when he came upon a grove of trees, and, feeling tired, he stretched himself, in a shady spot and fell asleep. He says: "I woke a little later to find myself covered with leaves and small brush. I was puzzled, sure enough, for I couldn't think what could have covered me up, but I decided to find out. First I got a dead log about six feet long, laid it where I had slept and covered it with leaves and brush. I looked to see whether my gun was loaded, and then I hid in a clump of bushes some twenty or twenty-five yards away. After about twenty minutes I heard a noise. I peered out of the bushes and saw a large she panther coming through the trees, followed by a quarter grown cub. She circled round the mound of leaves a couple of times. The cub followed every action of its mother. After the second round the old panther crouched as if for a spring. She crouched lower and lower and kept drawing her feet closer together. She kept her eyes fastened on the mound of leaves all the time and swayed her tail from side to side with a slow, regular motion. "When she had gathered her feet as close together as she could she sprang for the pile of leaves. She landed in the very middle of the pile and gave several long, wicked rakes with her hind feet. Then she began to smell and scratch in the leaves. It didn't take her long to find out that there was nothing but an old log there, and she stopped scratching and began to look about. I thought that now was the time to settle matters. I was a little to her left and behind her. I caught a sight, just at the base of her ear and fired. She gave one leap and a shrill scream and then lay still. "After making sure that she was dead I looked for the cub. It was sitting near by on the side of a leanning tree, spitting and snarling angrily. I soon put an end to that with a ride ball. I never knew a man so walt hunted as I was without being hurt. She probably took me for dead, and covered me to keep other animals from finding me while she went after her cub."—Youth's Companion. CAMELS IN WAR. Tamerlane Made a Curious Use of Them at Delhi. The camel has for centuries figured in the warfare of the east. History contains no more interesting example of the use of camels than that devised by the conqueror Tamerlane. This warrior, born in the summer of 1330, son of a humble Aslatic chieftain, rose by the sharpness of wit and strength of arm to be master of twenty-seven kingdoms extending from what is now the region of Moscow clear through India. Tamerlane was a terrible figure and a mighty warrior. In those days men fought with brute force rather than with engines of war. The sword was the chief weapon of offense. After a mighty struggle Tamerlane made himself potentate over the immediate nations of Asia and gave to the city of Samarkand a brilliant place in history. One by one the Asiatic sultans came under his away. India was the Mugh prize, and against it Tamerlane determined to move. This was in 1308. With his host he crossed the Indus, marched to Delhi and stood in arms before the gates. The Indian sultan, at the head of 50,000 soldiers and a herd of elephants, whose tusks bore poisoned swords, rushed upon the invaders. Tamerlane was sore pressed, and the battle might have gone against him had he not fallen back on his camels. Hustily gathering a troop of the beasts, he had them loaded with hay. Then, setting the hay, on fire, Tamerlane's soldiers stampeded the camels toward the ranks, of the Indians. The elephants, at the sight of the blazing hay, wheeled round and died in terror, scattering the Indian sultan's army and insuring the success of Tamerlane—Strand Magazine.

Entered at the Post Oc? at Savan- nah, Georgia, as Secontelass Mall Matter. Saturday January 23rd, 1915 There was indeed much merit in the timely words of Dr. Poyd, the well known Brooklyn Epis- copalian, delivered at the Y. M. G. A. on last Sunday, when he urged his hearers to remain in the South where their best economic oppor- tunities, rather than seek abode in the North where the oppor- tunities for a livelihood are so poor, especially for the man with- out a profession. To know that at the present time, there are nearly a million unemployed in the City of New York, ought to act as a deterrent to any of our people who may have the North- em bee in their bonnets? That the South is the best place for the mass of our people, there can be no doubt. Indeed, it is our belief that the South is of all the various sections of the country, the garden spot for our people, especially so far as economic con- ditions are concerned. Young men and women of our race, who ate desirous of making their per- manent abode in the North, had better hearken to the words of De. Boyd. : “To be or not to be, that, is the question.” To every member of the race, scattered throughout the length and breadth of this great commonwealth, Georgia, the all- absorbitig question’ of the day must be the foregoing. What shall be our future status in the Nife of the Georgia people, is the quéstion which must be upper- most in the mind of every think- ing individual of the race, when the barbaric atrocities recently participated in by certain “citizen” of Jasper County, Geor- gia, are brought to our memory. Think of it! In our own State, the State which we love; the State wherein resides our citi- zenship and the one to which we are giving our best constructive endeavors, that there can be per- petrated within her borders such 2 fiendish and inhuman act as the ene ‘which recently resulted in the lawless taking of four lives, two men and two women, Ne- groes ofcourse. We ask, are the lives and liberties of a people who constitute approximately one-half of the population of the state safegaurded when such perpetra- tions against its individual mem- bers can be had almost with im- puity? What a sad commentary upon the State to note the lynch- ing of four human beings! To- day Georgia must bow her head in'shame! A blot almost indeli- ble is upon her escutcheon. And dorsooth why? Is it be- cause mob law is supreme jn our State? Surely this cannot be. And yet despite the many lynchings that havd taken place within the borders of our state, we have as ‘yet to note the punishment of a sing} lyncher. Surely the time has come when our people must act in their own behalf if they are to curb {the present murderous tendencies of the mob clan. To sit complacent- ly in our chairs and simply#be’ moan the murderous outcome ot the innumerable acts of violence perpetrated against our people, is to fall far short of doirg our duty to ourselves. It goes withou' saying that the Jasper Count; lynching has upset us. Its sick- ening horrors have well-nigt stupified us. We are completels dumfounded to know that withit the borders of our State there live and apparenily thrive suct bands of lawless murderers as the Jasper County mob. But in thi: hour of our trial, when _ thing: seem dark, it is indeed both grati fying and encouragirg to know that there sits in the gubernator- jal chair at Atlanta, a man whos« entire public career is an index o! a disposition to do the squar: things to all regardless as to race or coior, and that Se. Govenor Slaton, supported ne icwot by strong sentiment of the law abid- ing white people of the State, has ordered a full investigation of the Jasper County outrage. ‘A fulf and thorough investiga- tion with a view of bringing the perpetrators of this terrible deed of outlawry to speedy trial and conviction, is altogether right and proper. In taking the right- ful lead.in the investigation of this terrible matter, Gov. Slaton has won the admiration of the entire Negro population of Geor- ‘gia. Meanwhile, through our ‘churches, societies, civic bodies and otherwise, scattered through- out the State, there should be es- tablished communications with the Governor, depictatory of our feelings in this matter and of our endorsement of the stand which he has taken in regard to the same. Such happenings as the Jasper County lynching, threaten the very foundation of our life in the Georgia commonwealth. The time has come when we must act in self defense. Our friends expect us not to do otherwise. We are facing a crucial period in our history. The issue is with each one of us—“To be or not to be,” must be largely determined by our own efforts. Negro BusinessLeague Weekly Letter (By J.C. Lindsay) - ‘There 1s no one thing, perhaps, which hac ‘eer such a decided draw-bacl to the Negro sinc his late cmanc.pation, as down-tight selfishness. Selfishness is a formidable foe to combat with. One of the reasons why selfish- ness should be shunned as deadly poison is because of the possibili- ties, as well as the probabilities, of this particular sin, draw-back and hindrance coming to, and taking hold of the unsuspecting and placing him or her entirely into his subtle grip, when the vic- tim least expects his presence.

The men, as a whole, who com- pose the membership of the local ibranch of the National Negro ‘Business League, are tonserva- btive and are very practical in all ‘ of their doings and sayings.

SMITH, Who departed this life January 21st, 1914 at7 o'clock, Some may think the wcund is heal- ed, but there is none who knows the sorrow deep within our hearts con- cealed. Today our aching hearts are sad, and our eyes are dim with tears, for God who is great and slso good has taken the one we love so dear. He is gone but not forgotten, Never will his memory fade, Loving deeds and thoughts will ever linger, Around the grave where he is laid. Why should our tears in sorrow flow? When God recalls his own, And bids them leave a world of woe, For an immortal throne. « His toils are past, his work is done, And he is wholly blest, He fought the fight, the victory won And entered into rest. Then let our sorrows cease to flow, Gad has recalled his own, But let‘our hearts in every way, Still say, Thy will be done. . V Mother, Mrs. C. A. Bouyer, Daughter, Mrs. S.L. Austin Sons, Robt.

Walker, pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle Church, of Augusta, Ga., has put forth a Magnificent paper on the "Negro Church as a Medium for Race Expression." It is thoroughly good. But it is his criticism which specially interests us. We are duly glad that such sound and judicious criticism comes from Dr. Walker, because everyone knows that he is so true to his race, and is one of the leading Negro Baptist ministers in this country. We hope, therefore, that what he says may sink deep down into the hearts of all our people. Our best friends are those who tell us the naked truth with a view of such reformation as will construct and not destroy. Such is eminently true of Dr. Walker in the extract which follows: "For one thing colored church members must be taught to go to church on time and the ministers must be taught to begin their services on time. To-day it is the rule, not the exception, that where the service is announced for 41 a. m., or 8 p. m., it will be 11:30 or 8:30, before the service begins. This is a glaring fault and needs to be corrected. And then the Negro must be taught better and truer ideas of conversion. He must be taught that emotionalism, whatever part it may play in religion, cannot be substituted for genuine piety. In the third place, the Negro must be taught a greater reverence for the house of God itself and for the service of the Most High. For a fourth thing, the Negroes must be taught to conduct their church collection differently. In the average Negro church it takes a half hour following the sermon to "lift the collection" as we are in a habit of saying. This is fundamentally wrong, and should be corrected speedily. In the matter just complained of, the Negro Church as a medium of expression proves that the Negro is lacking in a due regard for time and that there is vast room for improvement in the Negro's conception of Christian religion and in his methods of church work and worship. "The Negro Church has done well—demonstrably well. It will do a great deal better when it ceases to be the center of Negro's social, intellectual, business what it should be; namely, the and religious life and become only the center of moral and spiritual growth and development." Every word of what Dr. Walker says is true. Dr. Walker is a black man, and a Baptist preacher. He ought to know. Let all our churches honestly try to put into practice his most admirable advice. In so doing, we shall give the Holy Spirit the very best opportunity for His formative and creative work within the hearts, and lives of our people. What we need to learn is the spirit of obedience. He pointed out the right way, let us walk in it. And such is the solution of that part of the problem. The first of the year is a good time to make a new start, and to use new methods. Let us be wise. Afro-American Ledger.

Until we have good roads we will not have better markets. o The cost of good roads is less than the tax of bad ones. Out-of the mud hole and onto the pike should be your slogan. Fortune lives on an improved highway; misfortune on a poor one. The growth of any community is dependent upon good roads. Happiness, contentment.and pros- perity don’t go with bad roads. Even heathen countries realize the value of good highways- Mud holes are civilization’s great- est parasites. Abolish them. Unto another generation the be- nefits of good roads will extend. Do deeds that will live after you. Boost and build roads.

In an article published a short time ago’ Professor Quisenberry, who-is @- rector‘of the Missoii poultry expert ment station and ‘has'chatge of the/na~ tional egg laying contest now being held there, brings out. the Interesting: ag Well ag significant, fact that fully DO, per cent of the proved best.layers’ which have been tested out in the sev- eral egg laying coptests baye, been the sinallest birds entered, ‘running all the way, from half a pound to'three pounds less than the recognized weight stand- ard of the breed’to"which the individ- ual hen belonged.

WHY CULTIVATEr : The “why” of cultivating corn is worth a thought at just this time of Tear, whéd every-team! fiz the corn belt that is available is putting, in long hours {n cuitivating this great crop. ‘The chief object of cultivation should be to, keep the surface soil mellow and the subsoll._moist: The killing of weeds iw merely a secondary consideration, ‘The force of this statement tx made perfectly clear in the dialogue which took place ‘last summer between twa farmers who were working adjoining farms, thelr corn rows butting up to each other on ‘opposite sides of, the same fence. The farmer who cultivat- ed his corn to Kill weeds only was sort of ridiculing ‘is neighbor for stirring the soit frequently during the ary spell, when there were no weeds in sight. However, the other asked him to wait and pass judgment at harvest time. -When.the carn in these two fields was picked the farmer who cultivated to kill weeds got twenty bushels per acre, and his neighbor got forty. The facts set forth ought to contain a suggestion for a good many corn growers. ; FOR HORSE RAISERS. A good many farmers do not realize As thuch on the horses they sell as they might because they do not follow any definite plan in their horse breeding op- erations, using a sire of one breed one season and another’ the next and not exercising any particular care In the matter of the points of excellence of the mares used for breeding purposes. Dr. Alexander, the well known author- ity on borse breeding, lays down five rules which, if followed, he says will pYoduce a practically pure and satis- factory type of pure bred horses: Have in mind an ideal type toward which to work and select one breed from which to choose sires. Select und use only sound, healthy mares as nearly of the Sdeal chosen as possible. Discard all males produced and all females below the standard. Feed breeding stock and young stock at all times in such a way as to develop all the possibilities of each animal. Only sound, healthy sires, and dams should be mated, and every- thing ‘possible should be done to de- velop constitution and resistant power against disease. SOME COLLAR SUGGESTIONS. The Nebraska College of Agriculture makes some suggestions along the line of preventing sore shoulders in horses that are worth taking note of by those who may not appreciate their value to the fuJl The. suggestions state that sore shoulders more often come from looseness along tho alde of the neck than extra length of collar. In such case the bames should bo worked rather‘ long, which will tend to press the collar in enug against the sides of the neck, Lifting up the collar occa~ sionally on a hot day and letting the shoulders cool 4s @ good thing. This also gives oppertunity to remove! the mane or sny foreigu substance that may have got under the,collar. The use of the sweat pad is condemned because it mskes the shoulder tender ‘Zhd more susceptible to ‘edres-and“ta- mors. Bathing the shoulders in cold water each night will do much to “ward keeping them in prime condition.
