-Most_ Representative Gathering
of Negro Business Men Ever
Assembled in this City—Dr.
Ross, Father Boyd, Prof. Pope
And E. W. Sherman Princizal
Speakers—Evening One of
Real Enjoyment.
_The banquet of Wednesday
night in the William’s building
by the local branch of the Na-
tional Negro Business League
‘was one of the most brilliant af-
fairs of the kind ever held in this
<ity by Negro business men.
About one hundred and fifty
persons were present, every avail-
able scat in the beautifully deco-
ytatd banquet hall being taken,
The gathering was one of the
most representative ever assem-
bled here, the business men hav-
ing as their guests representa-
tives from all of the professions
and many of the trades.
The affair on the whole was
a most enjoyable one and the
spirit of the “jolly good fellow”
seemed to have taken complete
posession of every one present,
Prior to the supper, the officers
of the league were installed by
Rev. J. L. Taylor, rector_of St.
Stephen’s Episcopal, Church.
They are A. B. Singfield, presi-
dent; J. C. Lindsay, vice-presi-
dent; W .W. Hill, secretary; and
R. A. Harper, treasurer.
‘During the supper which was
served in three courses, short
addresses were made. G. H. Bo-
wen, Dr.-B. W. S. Daniels, W.
W. Hill, Prof. Pope, H. T. Single-
ton, W. P, Tucker and E. H.
Burke spoke.. The _ principal
addresses of the evening, how-
ever, were made by Dr. J. S. Ross,
who has recently come to, this
city from Chicago, where he prac-
ticed for several years, and Fath-
er Boyd, of the Cathedral. Mr.
E. W. Sherman responding to the
Jatter’s address, delivered a mas-
terly piece of oratory and was
time and again vociferously ap-
plauded.
The address of Dr. Ross dealt
principally with the economic,
commercial and social life of the
people of British Guiana, South
‘America, his nativity, and the
speaker’s excellent vocabulary
and his charming public manner
impressed themselves upon his
hearers. Fathcr Boyd’s address
was directed largely toward the
brotherhood of man. He refer-
red incidentally to the magnitude
of the work of the Roman Catho-
lic Church among the colored
people. His address was gener-
ously received and he was ‘given a
great appluase at the conclusion
of his remarks.
Yafant Daughter of Mr. and Mrs
Pharrow Dies.
Information was received in
the city this week of the death of
the infant daughter of Mr. and
‘Mrs. R. E. Pharrow; which oc-
curred in Atlanta, Tuesday morn-
jug early. The iriterntent was at
South View Cémetery, that city,
“Wednesday morning. The many
friends here of Mr. and Mrs.
Pharrow extend to them their
heartfelt. sympathy in this hour
of bereavement.
Kentuckians Eynch White Man.
Mayfield, Ky., Feb. 10--Thomas
‘Tinker, a white man, whowas ar-
rested on the charge of killing
Constable Richard Tart, was
taken from the county jail here
late fast night and lynched by a
“band of fifty or more men who
rode here from Melber, where
“the constable was killed.
Arriving in the town the band
went directly to the jail and de-
manded that Tinker be given up.
Jailer Douplin said he saw the
futility of resistance and the
men! took Tinker from his cell,
hanged him to a tree and riddled
his body with bullets. :
‘The shooting of Constable Tart
vecurred Monday when he at-
tempted to arrest Tinker on a
charge of house breaking.
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE
ODD FELLOWS OF
GEORGIA
a spirit of revenge, nor ofanimos-
ity, for I have no friends to re-
ward nor enemies to punish,
Neither have I any apology to
offer for what I am about to say.
« It is my purpose to lay bare the
conditions now existing in Geor-
gia and with special réference to
some of the acts of the Execu-
tive Committee since the adjourn-
‘ment of the District Grand Lodge
at Savannah in 1913.
The Odd Fellows of Georgia
are the wealthiest in the country
their holdings aggregating more
than those of all others combined
and of this fact we are proud.
The accumulation — of _ this
wealth was accomplished through
effort and sacrifice on your part,
and it will be just as necessary
that you should labor to the end
that it be kept intact.
Prior to and during the District
Grand Lodge at Savannah, the
complaint was made that your
funds were being used dishonest-
ly and the feeling was so intense
at the Grand Lodge as to require
the services of officers of the law
to preserve decorum and order.
The functions of the Executive
Committee are similar to those
of,a board of directors of a cor-
poration;- this committee is
charged with the performance of
certain specified duties during the
interim between the sessions of
the, Grand Lodge, and in the per-
formance of these duties is ac-
tually the representative of the
Grand Lodge. Its power within
the limits set down by the law
is plenary and there is no appeal
from its decission save through
the action of the Grand Lodge,
the only body to which it is ac-
countable.
This committee is composed of
the District Grand Master, wha
is the presiding officer, the Depu-
ty District Grand Master, who
acts in the absence of the Dis-
trict Grand Master, the District
Grand _Treasurér, the District
Grand Director, who has nothing
Ito do but draw his salary; and
the District Grand Secretary, who
is really the keeper of the records
of the Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee i$ your
agent and as such, is responsi-
ble to you for its acts. In like-
manner, you are responsible for
its acts.
It is charged with the guard-
janship of your financial affairs;
and with the safeguarding of all
funds to the end that those de-
pendent upon the Order may be
protected. In view of these
facts, I beg leave to invite your
attention to the following:
What could be the object of
the Executive Committee in_in-
creasing the salary of the Dis~
trict Grand Treasurer from $75.00
to $100.06 per month, with $25.00
additional “for expenses each
month? ‘
| Why did the committee in-
crease the salary of the District
|Giand Secretary from $175.00, at
which it was placed at Augusta
in Jgr11, to$225.00, which increase
has never been authorized by the
District Grand Lodge?
| What reason was there for ap-
propriating a salary of $50.00
‘each per month for the Deputy
District Grand Master and the
District Grand Director, whereas
their predecessors had ' received
nothing but their per diem and
railroad fare?
Why is the District Grand Mas-
ter given an increase in salary
from $75.00 to $125.00 per month
with $30.00 additional for clerk
hire, and freedom to charge what
he wishes for expenses, with his
office in his residence?
Why did the Executive Com-
mittee appropriate $100.00 out of
the District Grand Lodge treas-
ury to pay the fee of a lawyer
employed by the District Grand

vanced movement is fostered by
all of the progressive journals.
Chatham Has
> A High Record
a jJLLITERATES FOUND
|346 Ifiterate Negroes Enumerat-
ed And 6,613 of School Age
| Out of School. .
That Chatham County ranks
among the foremost in Georgia
when it comes to the question
of literacy, is the statement of
Mr. Otis Ashmore, superintendent
of schoals, commenting upon a
circular letter which is being sent
over.the state by Mr. M. L. Brit-
tain, state superintendent of
schools, to all superintendents re-
[garding ‘illiteracy among the
children from the ages of six to
eighteen years.
“Notwithstanding.that we have
a foreign population, as a seaport
naturally would, and is a pobul-
ous city, Savannah ranks fore-
most among the cities of the
(United States. The report shows
there are only six white children
recorded in the census that are
illiterate,” said Mr. Ashmore.
The figures quoted by Mr:
Brittinn are for the year 1913.
They show 8,665 white children
of school age in Chatham county,
with 6 illiterates, and 2,078 child-
ren not in school during that year.
The number of Negro children
of school age for the yéar 1913
is 10,699 with 354 illiterates e-
numerated and 6,613 of school age
who were not in school.
The state superintendent urgés
that children be induced to go to
school. This is rather unnecessary
in Chatham county, which now
has a large waiting list especial-
ly in the lower grades.
| TALLADEGA COLLEGE DEAN
TO SPEAK
Dr. Brewer will Deliver an Ad-
dress at First Congregational
Church.
Dr, Frank S. Brewer, dean of
the theological seminary of Talla-
dega College, will arrive in the

ing at 11 o'clock, he will preach at
the First Congregational church,
Taylor and Habersham streets.
Dr. Brewer is numbered among
the consistent friends of our peo-
ple. He isan able and fluent
speaker, and it will be a great
treat to hear him. It is expected
that a very large crowd will be
present to enjuy his sermon and
[the excellent music of the choir.

HOWARD MAKES ANOTHER
> STEP IN THE FIELD OF
¥ SCIENCE.
ihe Department of Physics of
Howard | University is making
tapid strides in ‘practical scien-
tific. work. The department is
now equipped with a complete
sending and receiving apparatus
for wireless tclegraphy. This
apparatus is: of the highest quali-
ty, and at present is in complete
working order. There are other
parts, which are to be used for
measurements in the radio lab-
oratory, yet to be received.
Severai instruments are being
}constructed in the shop Sf the
|Physics Department. These are
|made after the design of Profess-
jor Colenian and Mr. Hayes of
‘that department, and will add
much to the set already secured.
All the pieces which are used at
present have been accurately
standardized by Mr. Hayes, so
that the very highest degree of
precision of measurement,can he
obtained.
| At this time nearly all the gov-
ernment and commercial stations
on the Atlantic Coast have been
caught on the wireless set of the
University. Mr..Hayes main-
tains that he has an invention of
a sound intensifier which will
‘make the more distant call more
audible. By it, calls from the Pa-
cific Coast will be made as clear
and loud as calls from_N. A. D.
(Boston Navy Yard.) The clocks
in the labratory are standard.
ized by the official time received
daily from the Arlington Station.
There is a great deal of interest
manifested in the radio work.
Mr. Hayes says he is planning a
special coursé in the work foy
next year. Such a course will be
similar in a way to the course
|given at New York University

| Text, 1 Sam. ili, 9—Commentary Pre-
| pared by Rev, D. M. Stearns.
| What a specially great lesson this ts
for boys, with something for every
ene, young and old. In all Scripture
there is q message from the beart of
God to each {ndividual heart that
reads. It is true always, .as in the last
‘verse of our lesson chapter, that the
Lord reveals Himself by His word.
‘Che Scriptures are the revelation of
God to man, and the Lord Jesus Christ
1g the Living Word, in whom we see the
Father, even as He said, “He that hath
seen Me hath seen the Father” (Jobn
xiv, 9). Our lesson opens with Samuel
ministering unto the Lord. See also
ehapter if, 11,18. This is not the word
which fs translated to “minister in the
Priest's office.” but the word to serve
orminister,as when Joshua ministered
to Moses (Ex. xxxiti, 11; Josh. 1, 1).
Even a child can serve Him who
came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister (Matt. xx, 28). May we al-
ways be able to say from the heart,
“Whose I am and whom J serve,” and
count it our Lighest privilege to minis-
tex unto Him (Acts xxvil, 23; Luke vill,
3; Dan. vi, 1. In the revised ‘version
the words “precious” and “open” are
in the margin “rare” and “frequent,”
and the meaning probably ts that any
special message from the Lord was of
rare occurrence or it bad been some
time since He had spoken. The Immk
of Judges ended with every man doiz
right in his own eyes {xxi 25), und
now EU, the priest of the tabernacle.
which was then at Shilob (1, 3; Josh,
xvill, 1, 10), was somewhat ont of fel-
lowship, for he mistook broken heart-
ed, praying Hannah for a drunken wo-
man and did not control his own sons,
honoring them above God, so that a
man of God had to come to him with
a reproof and 1 warning (1, 12-16; 1
27-36).
Before we consider the call of Samucl
4n our lesson let us look at the circum-
stances of his birth. His father, El-
Kanab, seems to bave been a devout
man, going up from year to year to
worship and to sacrifice unto the Lord
of bosts in Shiloh (I, 3). But be had
two wives, which was contrary, to
God's original arrangement and al-
ways brought trouble. Hannih, who
had no children. was continually
taunted by the other, her adversury,
provoked sore and made to fret and
grieve (i, 4-8). Her refuge was prayer
unto the Lord, and He heard ber nd
gave ber this son Samuel (1, 10-20).
She called him Samuel because she
asked God for bim (1. 20, margin),
and when she bad weaned him she
took him to Shiloh to serve the Lord
in the tabernacle with Elf, visiting him
from year to year when she went up
to worship and taking him a little coat
(, 24-98; 11, 18, 19),
The Lord abundantly rewarded her
for the gift of her firstborn, for He
gave her five others, three sons and
two daughters (ii, 20, 21). So Samuel
grow hefore the Lord ind was tn fa.
vor both with the Lord ant alse with
suen, and the Lord was wath bin, and
si Ismicl knew ther he was esuibtisa-
ed to be a propher of the tl ord Gi, 2,
20. How beautifully the Lord aid
fess the boy who wax dedicated to
Mim even before bis birth. and how
xrandly He did reward his mother and
cause ber to forget her myers and
sing for joy! er soug in chapter ih,
1-10, which is also called a prayer. Is
one of the most beautiful on record.
Tteturning to our lesson story, we
read that one night, or perbaps tow:rd
the dawn (verses 2, 3, 15), Samuel
Ueard some one call him, aud. suppos-
ing It to be EN, he ran to tin, but, on
teing assured that Eli hud not called
him, he lay down again. The second
ine be heard his name and went
again to El, but was assured as be
Sore. Not untit be beard bis name the
third time and for the third time went
to Eli with the words “Here am I* did
Eli perceive that the Lord was calling
the cbild. Then he said to bim, “If
you are called again say, ‘Speak, Lord,
for thy servant heareth’” For the
fourth time the Lord called him and
this time mentioned his name twice~
“Samvel, Samuel”
‘I lave found only seven people in
the Bible who were thus addressed,
and there must be some significance
4n it, whether we can see it or not.
Look them up and ponder the circum-
stances prayerfully. On ‘hearing this
fourth call Samuel replied as EU
taught bim, and then the Lord gave
to Samuel the solemn meceare for Fit

The management of the Pekin Theater deserves praise for the great picture it showed during early part of last week of Negro leaders of thought, of business, fraternal societies and the other activities in which the Negro finds himself engaged. Such pictures give not only inspiration and encouragement to the youth of the race but instill within them a great admiration and respect for the men and women of the race who have wrought well. In bringing such a picture to us the Pekin is doing an educational work of some consequence, which the community appreciates.
If there ever was a movement started which should receive the support and encouragement of the Negroes generally throughout the country, and particularly in the South, it is the one which proposes the holding of "health week, March 21st. to 27th. The movement had its inception in the executive board of the National Negro Business League, and Dr. Booker T. Washington and those associated with him on the board are doing all in their power to impress upon the Negroes of the country the necessity of giving the movement their assistance. The future welfare of the race be it commercial, spiritual, economic, social or what not, depends on the health of individual members of the race. If we are prone to sickness and to spend our time, money and energy in doctor's bills and in buying drugs of varying degrees of efficacy, then the vitality which we should use in building up the race commercially, economically and socially will be feeble. Statistics show that the death rate of Negroes is entirely too large, in fact it is positively shocking and the only way that it can be decreased is by a systematic training of the masses of the race in the art of living, such as is the object of Health Week which is being advocatid by the National Negro Business League and the many organizations allied with it in the fight to increase the space of life of the Negro of this country. The Negro by inheritance is endowed with as sound a body as any people on the face of the globe and it is only through ignorance, intemperance of action and unwholesome environments that the mortality of the race has become so alarming. Health Week has as its object the formulating of plans, the giving out of advice and the distribution of such literature as will enable th Negro to stem the alarming death rate which is needlessly taking away so many thousands each year. Savannah Negroes need, but to scan the annual reports of the local health officer to see the wisdom in the "health week" movement and that their every assistance should be given it, cannot be denied. Dr. Washington and those behind "health week" are doing their part in attempting to stay the high mortality among the race and it remains for every Negro, every Negro society, church, fraternity and educational institution to join in the movement and give it their unstinted support.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
In some quarters the feasibility of calling off the coming session of the Pythian Grand Lodge is being discussed. From an economical standpoint, the calling off would be justified. But stern law is always in the way.
Each year our people spend thousands of dollars traveling on the railroads attending various meetings. It would indeed be an interesting matter if sufficient statistics could be gathered
in order to show the enormomus amount spent in this direction. And too, the larger per cent. of this money comes from a class of our people who can afford it only at a great sacrifice.
Yesterday was observed as the birthday of Abraham Lincoln and that of Frederick Douglass will be tomorrow. Lincoln gave us our freedom and Douglass inspired us with manhood. The memory of both of these illustrious men should be revered and instilled into the minds of our children.
Our white friends have several organizations for their children in which patriotic ideas and histories of events dear to them are inculcated, thus perpetuating them. We can gain helpful lessons from this and put them to excellent use. Our youths too, should be taught and inspired with history that means much to us, and the lives of our men who have made good.
And too, those fathers who have one or more children in the public schools should be manly enough to pay one dollar a year poll tax for their education. Any father who wilfully fails to do so lacks manhood and the brand of worthlessness should be placed upon him.
Georgia, with all thy faults we love thee still, even though our lawless whites lynch us and others take advantage of us in various ways. We believe that all concerned will sooner or later receive their just desert, and eventually Georgia will be as free of such crimes as any other state. In order to reach this period, our best white people should bestir themselves in holding down the thoughtless and lawless ones among them.
It has been very acceptably said that the colored newspaper men of the South are the real heroes in the cause of the race. It takes a brave man to remain on the line of battle.
Last week in Columbia county, this state, a white man was lynched, accused of committing a crime on a white woman. To be consistent we cannot approve the lynching. What Georgia needs most are braver men as sheriffs of the various counties; men who have a high regard for the oath they make to uphold the law, and who are not afraid of public sentiment in enforcing the same regardless of friends. Brave sheriffs would cause lawlessness to be unknown in this state.
In return for all of the taxes paid, directly and indirectly, Georgia gives its colored citizens not a penny for education higher than the grammar schools, and this is not given in a way to help the teeming thousands in the state that can not be accommodated, and many only receiving three months' schooling during the year. In every Congressional district throughout the state, an agricultural school is being maintained for the white boys and girls, besides the State University, technological, and other high and normal schools throughout the state. The colored boy and girl get not a farthing. The state does not even give one penny directly from its treasury for the Georgia State Industrial College. With all of these disadvantages our white friends expect us to make good.
Great is the benefit of coming in contact with those o abfal and advanced minds and to hear discussed the popular subjects of the times. The lecture course s the means to this end. This is demonstrated by the many lecturers brought here during the season under the auspices of our white citizens. Is it not possible for us to get together and at least once a month secure an able lecturer? It can be done.
Get the saving habit. Spend less for the frills of life and prepare for the time of adversity.
Last week we noted the crowded condition of our schools and the dire need of more school buildings, based especially upon the report of Supt, Ashmore, showing that more than 6,000 colored children are without school accommodation. These additional schools are needed, and along with that need, a greater one exists for new buildings for the West Broad Street and, Maple Street schools. By the erection of commodious buildings at these schools hundreds more of our children could be accommodated
and at the same time insuring more healthful surroundings for both pupils and teachers. These buildings are totally unfit for school purposes and should be immediately replaced with modern ones. Our white friends will make no mistake whatever in giving them to us, it will be an investment that will greatly repay them.
Nor should we forget the miserable housing condition of our people in certain sections of the city. The time is ripe for our city fathers to take hold of this problem and do away with the present hovels and prevent the erection of similar ones. In the meantime our people as far as possible should remove from these crowded sections and secure homes in more desirable localities.
The man or woman of our race who does not recognize that we are having hard times, with still harder times coming, is not blessed with much foresight, says the St Luke Herald.
The Negro might as well realize his precarious hold upon employment, and that an all consuming economic war is being waged against him, together with all the other civil and political discriminations that are increasing day by day and popping up in many unexpected quarters.
It is not only the intention to lynch, jim crow, and disfranchise, but also to starve by the deliberate process of the denial of work. The Negroes should i. addition to the Booker Washington movement—Raise one-more-pig—begin anew, rub out and start fresh the movement of saving just a dollar more than he has been saving, each week and each month.
Save a dollar more—and carry it to a Negro bank and deposit it. Save-a dollar more—and you will, have a prop upon which to lean when you grow weak from age. Save-a dollar more—because the more you save, the more you will want to save and the greater will be your ability to help yourself and some one else.
During the past year an organization known as the "Silent Brotherhood" has been operating in the interest of white men. There can be no complaint made against this organization if its purpose is sincere and does not militate against any other class of men. It is charged that this organization has been the cause of a number of colored men losing their positions, being replaced by white men. Is this true if it is just? Does it show fairness on the part of those who represent the dominant race? In the city department the places of many colored men have been filled with white men. In the drainage work, especially west of the city, white men were given the preference, but it was soon found that they were not as capable as colored men, and for that reason were discharged. We only want our white friends to deal fairly with us. Do not preach to us the gospel of work and then try to keep us from working.
Men's Club.
The Men's Club of St. Stephen's Episcopal church will meet at the residence of Mr. A. P. Barnard on Wednesday night, Feb. 17th.
NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS.
Furnished by the National Negro Business League.
Dr. Faytte Avery Meeinzie, formerly professor of sociology in the Ohio State University, has been elected president of Fisk University.
Two colored men were members of a committee of the Colorado miners which recently appeared with grievances before the officers of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company.
Through the present efforts of Charles Banks, the Bank of Mound Bayou has been organized and placed upon more substantial basis.
The Commercial College of Howard University has issued a very interesting booklet on the history and development of Negro banks.
Lynchburg (Va.) Opportunity has started a movement for a Negro bank in that city.
The Local Business League at Savannah, Georgia, recently held a special Sunday service at the First Bryan Baptist Church, Rev. Daniel Wright, pastor. Printed circulars showing ten reasons why colored people should patronize their own business enterprises were distributed. One of the reasons is as follows: "In and around Savannah, there are more than 40,000 Negroes. We must spend for food more than $200,000 per month. The profit on this enormous amount of business is at least $500,000 annually. By buying our groceries from Negro grocers it would enable them
to give employment to nearly 500 men, women, boys and girls at an average salary of $50,000 per month and then leave a balance of $225,000 for other purposes.
Discrimination at California Exposition.
Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. The office of the Secretary of the National Negro Business League is in receipt of a communication from Mr. J. J. Nashburn, secretary of the local Negro Business League of Oakland, Cali. stating that the Commissioners of the International Exposition to be held in San Francisco during the present year have notified the Local Negro Business League of Oakland and San Francisco that there will not be equal accommodations in San Francisco during the fair, for colored people.
The local leagues of those cities have been requested to appoint committees to locate places in San Francisco and Oakland for colored visitors and to notify colored visitors of this condition. The Hotel and Restaurant Association of San Francisco is responsible for this action the Commissioners state The Local Negro Business has made a vigorous protest against these conditions and proposes to give full publicity to this matter before any large number of our people start for California
The Farmers' Co-operative Mercantile Company, of Mound Bayou, Mississippi, has just closed the most successful year in its history. The books showed a total business for the year of $32,-210.51.

THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN
The above is a faithful likeness of one of Savannah's most energetic and active tollers in the insurance field, in the person of Mr. W. L. Williams, superintendent of the Savannah branch of the Standard Life Insurance Company. Mr. Williams came to this city about 11 years ago from Augusta, Ga., and has, since his advent here, been actively engaged in Insurance work. He has gathered around him a host of friends who admire his energy and untiring efforts in his chosen field of work. We regret to add that Mr. Williams has seen fit to tender the following resignation to the Standard Life Insurance Company.

over unpaid bills if you are prudent and thrifty. It is true that expenses cannot always be avoided or foreseen. but it is also true that they can be provided for in advance. And the way to do this is to save something every pay day.
Then when unexpected expenses arise, when illness occurs, or when employment is gone, you will have the money so urgently needed. The feeling of satisfaction in being able to meet your bills is one that no man of spirit would willingly forego.
The best way to save money is to deposit it in a bank.

St. Stephen's Church.
Quinquagesima Sunday. Services Sundays at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m.; week-day services during Lent, 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., except Wednesday and Friday, services at 8 p.m. Ash Wednesday services at 11 a.m. There is an increasing feeling on the part of all thoughtful christians that the spiritual life require seasons set apart especially for meditation, for definate heart-searching, for united prayer, for more systematic bible study and for a larger use of the means of grace. It is generally acknowledged that God's blessing has been vouchsafed in large measures to many who have thus sought in Christ, the deepening and enriching of spiritual life. And not a few have been led from indifferences and worldliness and sin to the Lord Jesus Christ for pardon, peace and service.
The season of Lent affords just the opportunity which is re quired for special service and is a clear call to the whole church for self-examination concerning open and secret sins, "repentance towards God," "Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ". May this Lent lead each one of us to a life of entire consecration to God, of ourselves, our souls and bodies. May it be a living sacrifice which St. Paul said is your reasonable, service. A cordial invitation to all.

Rev. Clark Passes Away.
Rev. D. K. Clarke died at his home, Ways, Ga., Sunday Jan. 31st. He was born March 25, 1850. Rev. Clarke was a conscient Christian and joined the church about fifty years ago. He was ordained about sixteen years ago by Rev. M. Burke. At the time of his death he was pastor of Union Baptist and Pinckey House Baptist Churches, both of Keller, Ga. The funeral services, conducted by Rev. David Boles were very impressive and largely attended. Rev. Clarke left a wife three daughters, four sons, a sister and a host of friends to mourn his death.
The Signs of the Time The signs of the time show unmistakable evidences of greater responsibilities which we as Colored men and women must face and settle not tomorrow, but
today. Every day we hear of positions once held by Colored men but now given to whites. These changes are not made along any particular line, but they begin from the most humble day laborer and extend clear through to the most skilled profession. Sympathy, ability nor politics can no longer stem the tide, and as a result the percentage of Negro employment is seriously lowered each year. The Ga Mutual is doing its part in making up for this deficiency and you can do yours by taking with us some insurance. It will serve for two purposes: first—the one just mentioned; second--as a protection against losses by sickness and death.

In Memoriam
Who departed this life February 12th, 1914
As down the vale of life together,
We walked in spring and winter
weather.
Whose kind congenial spirit left us,
And went forth in the unknown night.
So be it friend! a little while hence,
And in the dear, deep dreamless silence,
We too shall share thy couch of rest,
When we have trod life's pathways dreary.
Kind death will take the hands grown weary,
And gently fold them o'er the breast,
Sleep! while the weary years are flying;
While men are born. while men are dying,
Sleep on thy curtained couch of sodl
Thine be the rest which Christ hath
given,
Thine be the christian's hope of
heaven
Thine be the perfect peace of God.
Friends,
Minnie Williams

* Friendship! No stronger word
has come into our English lan-
guage from our Teuton ancestry
than this. It has a ruggedness
that savors of the day when so-
cial veneer and mere form were
unknown; when men were drawn
to one another solely by qualities
of heart and mind, The thought
of worldly attainfhent_or riches
has nothing to do with Friendship
We mect a man, and if there are
in him qualities which he admire
we are unconsciously drawn to
him; if he finds in us similar
qualities there is a response which
results in ties, the strongest earth
can know, this is Friendship.
The friendship which should pre-
vail among Masons is that which
seeks to find, in every brother,
qualities which are amiable and
admirable; the friendship which
will wisper words of counsel ir
the car of a brother; the fricnd-
ship which holds out a hand to
assists us over life’s rough and
rugged places; the friendship
return; the friendship which
soothes the fevered brow and
smoothes the path which leads
down the vale and across the
silent stream; this is the friend-
ship which, as Masons, we shoul
cultivate, even in the strenucus
days of the present -century.—
Selected.
A Good Record
Grand Master Kissell made a
statement in his annual address to
the Grand Lodge of Ohio which
will be read with pleasure by ev-
ery Mason. He said: “During
the last year, or possibly a little
more, over 1,800 men have been
convicted in Adams county for
sclling votes, and these men have
been disfranchised, In this same
county we have five active lodges
Of the 1,800 men who were con-
victed, not one is a Mason, and,
not a Mason was indicted by the
grand jury investigating these
cases.”
The daily press is so careful to
mention the fact that certain per-
sons who have been charged with
crimes are connected with the
Masonic fraternity or the Order
of the Eastern Star that the
above is commended to its at-
tention, in order that may be pub-
lished—Masonic Chronicler.
+ What the World Needs
The plain, practical application
of the simple truths of Freema-
sonry as taught by easily under-
stood symbols of the Lodge Rit-
ual, is what the warld and Free-
Masonry need and the kind of
Freemasonry that the “mass of
Master Masons” knows is of
more value to humanity than the
musty volumes ever written by
the self appointed advanced
thinkers. There is altogether
too much stuff being written to
impress the Masons of three de-
‘grees, that he is of little. im-
portance and that he is dull of
comprehension, that the Golden
Rule is a pass number in Masonry
and that he only is a great Ma-
son who can delve in metaphy-
sics and in occult sciences ——Se-
lected.
Be in Peace With all Men.
The sentiment of “Peace on
earth, good will toward men,”
is the corner stone of Masonic
character, At the ,commence-
ment of the New Year this senti-
ment is brought to us special
significance when resolves are be-
ing proposed for our guidance
during the coming year.
An important question is, are
we in peace with our fellow men,
more especially with our breth-
ren ii Masonry? If not we
should be. Admitting that there
are some brethren-who are hard
to be in peace with owing to their
peculiar temperament and the ap-
parent hypocrisy in their “make
up,” yet there shold be enough
‘foresight in every brother to rec-
ognize that it is well to be in
peace with his brethren in the
Craft. °
Let our resolve for the coming
year be, “Be in peace with all
men, more especially with our
brethren in Masonry.” If this
thought prevades our lives and
actions in our every day life, we
feel sure that the year 1915 will
prove to be a most enjoyable one.

Making a Covenant.
In my search for light I have
discovered the following signifi-
cant explanation of the ceremony
of making a covenant in the book
of Jeremiah, xxxix. 18: After an
animal had been selected, his
throat was cut across with a sin-
gle blow, so as to divide the wind-
pipe, arteries, and veins, without
touching a bone. The next cere-
mony was to tear the breast open
and pluck out the heart; and if
there was the least sign of imper-
fection, the body was considered
unclean, The animal was then
divided into two parts and placed
north and south, that the parties
to the covenant might pass be-
tween them from east to west,
and the carcass was then left as
a prey to voracious animals.—
Liverpool Freemason.
A masonic lodge should resem-
ble a bee hive, in which all the
members work together with ar-
dor for the common good. Ma-
sonry is not meant for cold souls
and narrow minds, that do not
comprehend its lofty mission.
Here the anathema against luke-
warm souls applies. To comfort
misfortune, to popularize knowl-
edge, to teach whatever is true
and pure in religion and philoso-
phy, to accustom men to respect
order and the proprieties of life,
to point out the way to genuine
happiness, to prepare for that for-
tunate period, when all the fac-
tions of the human family, united
by bonds of Toleration and Fra-
ternity, shall be but one house-
hold; these are the labors that
may well excite zeal and enthus-
iasm.—Albert Pike.
Morehouse College Notes.
Atlanta, Ga—A visitor at the
morning chapel exercise January
26, of Morehouse College was Dr.
Steward of the American Baptist,
Louisville, Ky. On the morning
of February 3rd, a host of dis-
tinguished visitors was at the
school. Among the number were
Mr. Nabrit of Augusta; Rev.
Pinckney of Augusta, Prof. N.
W. Reddick, principal of Amcri-
cus Institute, Rev. C. H. Robin-
son, of Athens, Ga., Rev. John-
son, pastor, of First Baptist
Church, Athehs, Ga.,. Mr. Tobias,
International Secretary of the Y.
M. C..A, aml Dr. Condal of Lon-
don, England. Many encourag-
ing words from each were recciv-
ed by the students. The joint
course in commercial law, and
bisiness ethics between More-
house and Atlanta University is
already creating a great deal of
interest among the young college
students and among the business
men of the city. The class is
conducted by Mr. Weltner of-Col-
umbia University law school and
meets at Morehouse every Thurs-
day evening and at Atlanta Uni-
versity every Tuesday. Mr.
‘Trent, secretary of the Y, M.C. A.
gave the school a remarkable ad-

Seventh-Day Adventists Protest.
Against Measures.
| Thousands of Severith-day Ad-
'ventists throughout the United
States, seeing in measures that
have recently been introduced in
congress the destruction of the
freedom of the press, are engaged
in a campaign of circulating peti-
‘tions protesting against these
‘measures. One of these bills, in
‘brief, grants unto the postmaster
general the power to exclude
from the mail “any scandalous,
scurrilous, indecent, or immoral
books, pamphlets, pictures, prints,
engravings, lithographs, photo-
graphs, or other publications
which are, or are represented to
be, a reflection on any form of re-
ligious worship practiced or held
sacred by any citizen of the Unit-
ed States,” while the other would
bar the use of the mail to any per-
son or his representative engaged
“in the business of publishing any
obscene or immoral books, pam-
phlets, pictures, prints, engrav-
ings, lithographs, photographs, or
other publications, matter, or
thing of’ an indecent, immoral,
scurrilous, or libelous character.
“Both of these bills establish a
censorship of the press and place
in the hands of one man, who is
himself notelected by the people,
but appointed by an execttive of-
ficer, the absolute power to ex-
clude from the United States mail
any publication’ which in his opin-
ion has violated certain provisions
without any opportunity of try-
ing the case before a properly
constituted court.” says Elder
J. W. Manns of the local Seventh-
day Adventists No. 2, 36th and
Burroughs streets, He contin-
ues: +
“By the power thus conferred,
the postmaster general could for-
ever excluded from the mails any
publication, even the Metropoli-
tan Daily, which contains in one
issue an article which might be
classed as ‘indecent, immoral, scur
rilous, or libelous,’ or which re-
flected on ‘any form of religious
worship praccticed or held sacred
by any citizen of the United
States.’ Such control of the
prss is arbitrary and tyrannical,
and is most far-reaching in its
effects, and would bring disaster
upon the country.
“We are not defending the use
of the mails for the transmission
of publications ‘of an indecent,
immoral, scurrilous, or libelous
character’. Neither do we ap-
prove of the use of language of
this description in any way what-
ever, but we most decidedly dis-
approve of the method of cor-
recting any existing abuse by the
enactment of legislation which
would absolutely destroy the
freedom of the press.
“A fatal objection to this pro-
posed legislation is that it is un
constitutional, Provision made
for the protection of freedom ‘of
the press in the first Amendment
to the constitution, which reads:
Congress shall make no law***
abridging the freedom of. speech,
or of the press.
“Any restraint of the freedom
here granted.would be destructive
of the fundamental principles of
a free republic.
“The fathers of this republic
had before them in the current
history of the old world examples
and warning as to the unfavorable
results which attended restriction
of speech and of the press in the
discussion of religious qustions,
and they, therefore, took good
care in preparing the constitution
for this new nation, that the right
of free discussion of all mat-
ters relating to religion shoutd be
secured to the people.
“These bills give to one man
the power to destroy a large and
and prosperous business built up
by years of earnest labor, without
granting to the publisher the op-
portunity of exercising that right
may have defamed or libeled him.
These laws have been?found suf-
ficient to meet all reasonable de-
mands, and there is no occasion
for this proposed legislation.
“Each one of our 2,500 local
churches in the United States has
been stirred to the importance of
protesting against these meas-
ures, and congressmen from
every state are being flooded with
petition which have been signed
by thousands of persons who are
in favor of religious liberty and
freedom of press.
“The ministers are awakening
their congregation as to what
these bills would mean should
they become laws, and the mem-
bers individually are calling upon
other church organizations to
join in the campaign against the
measures.”
More Negro Business.
Kansas City, Missouri,—The
Kansas City Negro Business
League did not succeed in secur-
ing the anuual meetings of the
National Negro Business League
for August, 1915, but ot is
nevertheless wsnging just as
earnestly us it cau forthe 1916
convention. It seemed to be the
general sentiment of the Execut-
ive Committce at Muskogee, Jast
summer that the league should be
held in Boston in 1915 and that it
should then go to Kansas City for
1916.
‘Lhe Kansas City League is now
making plans fur a campaign for
more Negro Business in Kansas
City, and for closer relations
between the business interests
and the common people. Instesd
of going to the churches the plan
is to hold a seriesof ueignborhood
meetings fur two weeks with a
final wind up at ali churches
throughout Kansas City on the
samp Sunday. bis final day will
be known as ‘‘Negro Business
Leayue Day,” and the effort will
be made to make it an annual
event in Kansus City.
Tuskegee Graduate
Succeeds in Florida.
The following editorial from
the ‘lamps, Florida Morning Tri-
bune telis of the success ot one of
Tyskegee’s graduates who is put-
ting into every day practice some
of the things which he learned
while in school:
“The ‘Tribune bas had occasion
several times to reler to the good
work thatis bemg done by the
Negroes of Marion County, which
is the centre of a movement on
the part of members of that race
to set higher standards of useful-
ness for their people, At are-
cent meeting hetd im this city,
under the auspices‘of the Afro-
American Civic League, George
fl. Mays, Jr., one of the men
who is Jeading in this work
in Marion County, was
the speaker of the occasion and
told the Negroes of Tampa how
they night juin in the movement
and do something for them-
selves.”
“Mays is himself an example
of what a hardworking, intelli;
gent and respectable Negro can
do with his opportunities. He is
a graduate of Tuskegec. taught
in schools in the Nerth and is now
the head of a banking investment
institution at Ocala, organized
and managed by Negroes. He
believes that the South is the
best place for the Negroes and
that their future lies in this
section of the country. Mays so
enjoys the confidence of the white
citizens of Ocala that many of
them have deposits in his bank.
He is always urging the Negroes
to strive for industrial indepen-
dance and it is dueto him that
the Negroes of Marion County
have taken account of their op-
portunities snd have begun to
work toward better ends.”

Carelessness and cruelty go together. The cows should be petted and called by name. They quickly respond to such treatment. If the cows must be let out to drink make a path for them through the snow. It will be money in your pocket. Don't "guess so" or even "think" in feeding or otherwise dealing with your cows. Know; then you are on safe ground. Don't let the dairy herd shiver in the barnyard. Lying on cement is apt to bring lumps on the upper part of the legs of cattle. Either bed deep or plank the cement over.
TREAT COWS GENTLY AT MILKING TIME
Some cows have a habit of all the time stepping when they are being milked. This is quite annoying to the man who is milking such a cow for the first time, writes E. L. Vincent in the American Cultivator. He is apt to think the cow is going to kick or do something equally troublesome, whereas she is only indulging in this habit of lifting the foot a little.
The trouble with a cow that does this began a long time ago, and she probably did it in the beginning because she did not have a milker that made her really comfortable at the time. There are milkers, for example, who never think what it must do to a cow to have one with long finger nails working at her teats. Every time the hand closes those sharp nails are pressed hard against the sensitive teat.
Other men have a way of setting the ends of the fingers squarely against the side of the cow's teat. This cannot help hurting these sensitive organs, and it is no wonder the cow steps round to get away from her milker. Instead of striking the cow which lifts her foot under such circumstances, we should correct our own bad habits. It is a great deal better position for the fingers to lie out straight, so that the insides of each digit will come against the side of the teat.
One other way by which a young cow may contract the habit under consideration is to be too harsh when milking a cow whose udder is pressed full of milk. Not always do we realize how sensitive this part of the cow's mechanism is. The truth is, no organ is more easily injured than the udder, and the teats share in a great measure

The Ayrshire is the dairy rustler of all the dairy breeds, thriving and paying a profit where other breeds can hardly exist because she is a vigorous feeder and not at all dainty in her appetite, eating with a relish everything that comes in her way in the line of forage, good grass, poor grass and browse; all is food for the Ayrshire cow. The cow shown is Aucheubrain Brown Kate IV., which has a record of 23,022 pounds of milk and 1,080 pounds of butter in a year. She is owned by Penhurst farm, Narberth, Pa.
this liability to be permanently harmed. When the teats are thus pressed the cow feels hurt and she has no way to show it save to step round out of the way if she can. So the habit of stepping becomes settled on the animal. In fact, few bad habits on the part of the cow but are traceable more or less directly to faults on the part of the one who has the handling of the cow when she is first being broken to milk. Never should a milker use more good sense and fellow feeling than at this critical time in the history of the cow. For habits cling to the cow as to the man.
Silage a Roughage.
Experiment shows that corn silage is a roughage and not a grain feed, says American Agriculturist. Many feeders have been led to believe, from the fact that the grain from the corn plant is put into the silo, that the silage produced therefrom is a grain feed. In fattening cattle the roughage in the ration produces its most marked influence during the early part of the fattening period. As the cattle become fatter the quantity of roughage eaten decreases and the grain consumption increases.

A very good ration can be made by letting each animal have daily about thirty pounds of corn silage and a liberal allowance of clover hay. A mixture consisting of 400 pounds corn and ceb meal, 300 pounds bran and 100 pounds cottonseed meal will go very nicely with this roughage. Feed about a pound of this mixture for each 3 to 3.5 pounds of milk produced.
Pea Vine Silage.
Pea vine silage is a splendid feed. It is somewhat richer in protein than corn silage, but contains the same amount of digestible nutrients in a hundred pounds.
Dry Mash Mixture That Has Been Proved by Experiment.
The following rations are recommended by the New Jersey agricultural experiment station after years of experimental work and careful testing. They have given exceptionally good results throughout the state. The rations as recommended apply especially to the light active breeds like the Leghorns. Such modifications as are necessary for seasonable feeding and for heavier breeds are described.

Dry mash as mixed for winter feeding:
Wheat bran, 200 pounds; wheat middlings, 200 pounds; ground oats, 100 pounds; cornmeal, 100 pounds; gluten; feed, 100 pounds; alfalfa (short cut), 100 pounds; meat scrap (high grade), 200 pounds.
This ration when mixed at home will cost the poutryman about $1.80 per 100 pounds. This dry mash is mixed in bulk and kept before the birds at all

The hen roost herewith illustrated is a cheap, simple affair made of trestles, slats and a low platform, low down for big breeds. Additional trestles may be used to raise the dropping boards off the floor for lighter birds. This roost does not touch the wall and may be taken down and out of the house for cleaning in a few minutes. It is easily moved from one part of the house to another.
times in large self feeding, homemade hoppers. When the molt is going on in the months of August and September it is a good practice to substitute oil meal for the gluten meal in the same proportion. This hastens the growth of feathers and causes them to finish off much better. As soon as the birds get on green range in the spring the alfalfa and meat scrap can be almost entirely eliminated. The extent to which this mash can be modified during the summer will depend upon the range which they have and the character of the food which it affords.
When the above dry mash is fed to heavier breeds than Leghorns, such for example, as Plymouth Rocks and Rhode Island Reds, especially with yearlings and two-year-old hens, the tendency is to take on an excessive amount of body fat. Under these conditions the hopper should be closed during the morning and left open only during the afternoon. This compels the bird to work more in looking for the grain, equal parts by weight of wheat and oats, five pounds of the mixture to each 100 birds, or rather more for the medium weight breeds, fed scattered in the litter in the morning.

OUT OF TOWN ORDERS GIVEN SPECIAL ATTENTION
EGGS IN COLD WEATHER.
Method of Feeding and Care That Has Produced Results.
The biggest problem with poultrymen and farmers who keep chickens is how to get eggs during January and February, for these are the two months in which eggs are always scarce and high priced in every state. We have been able the past three winters to keep our young hens laying right through these two months, while our neighbors scarcely got an egg, writes a correspondent of the Orange Judd Farmer. Our method is no secret. The trouble is, it is so simple our neighbors have not the faith to try it. "You are just simply lucky," they will say.
---
Besides the green feed and meat scraps, we feed them a grain ration as follows: Parched corn at noon and parched oats or rye at night. We put the grain in a large pan kept in the range till it is browned through. We feed about a fourth bushel to every thirty hens. We have tried to cut this grain feed down, but whenever we did the egg crop fell off.
Our remedy for lice and mites is simple and cheap. We use tobacco dust, the cleanings from a tobacco barn, which are so dry they will pulverize into dust. However, they can be bought for about 10 cents a bushel. Sprinkle about a tablespoonful on the back of each fowl, rubbing the feathers toward the head.
Selecting Egg Layers. Coarse, masculine looking pullets never make the best layers. Select those whose heads have a distinctly feminine appearance and expression.
NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER
(By J. C. Lindsay)
The organization of the local branch of the National Negro Business League, which is doing so much tangible good in the matter of stimulating the Negro business men to an active interest in all of the businesses and enterprises engaged in by our people in this community, was brought about primaly for the good it might do this immediate community. But to the delight of those who, perhaps, were foremost in its organization, its influence for good is being felt not only in this community, but in some of our sister cities as well. The proof, of this statement is that we not only have a number of letters of a congratulatory nature upon our splendid organization, and upon the good feelings it is creating among our men engaged in business, but we have also sent to some of our neighboring cities, who were desirous of organizing a league and modeling it after our local league, constitutions and by-laws that they might properly organize and put their league in touch with the National body, the head of which is that intrepid born leader of men, Dr. Booker T. Washington.
Negro Savannahians Proud of Savannah.
Why should they not be proud of a city which can proudly, yet truthfully boast of having the finest, the most modernly equipped and certainly the most conveniently arranged Negro banking house in the country? The history of its humble beginning, just fourteen short years ago, is too familiar to the readers of our weekly letter to bear repeating at this time: Right in the very heart of the down town business center, we have another splendid banking business conducted by a splendid set of men with brains, integrity, and ample capital.
Can you Blame Them for being Proud?
When one thinks of the heroic business struggles and the achievements of the Negro business element in this city in the last five years, and see these banking, institutions referred to above, and these insurance companies, aside from giving to the owner and management of the oldest non-denominational Negro journal in the state, through encouragement and by patronage and financial support, the finest and most up-to-date building owned in fee simple by the journal published therein, of any to be found anywhere, Negroes have a perfect right to be proud. This publishing establishment which is operated, owned and controlled by the Savannah Tribune, is equipped with electrically operated machinery, together with a twentieth century up-to-date Linotype machine which can turn out more satisfactory work in its line than the fourteen well paid and highly satisfied Negro employees in this Negro printing house, including the three editors and the printers "Devil" combined. Then, why should not the Savannah Negro feel proud of what is being done by the members of the race engaged in business here?
Savannahians Quick to Appreciate Service.
That business man, firm or corporation, that renders service worth while to the good people of Savannah, may rest assured that their efforts will be rewarded. In other words, every man gets exactly what he makes himself fit to receive.
Printers Ink a Silent Salesman
The day of sympathy has past. The world is looking for that business which will measure up to the standard. One of the standards by which many of our businesses are measured is the confidence the manager, owner or proprietor seems to have in himself. If the person in control of affairs has not confidence enough in his business to inform others of it in the most telling and effective way, then he may rest assured that his days as a business factor in the community are numbered. We must make a noise about what we have to sell and let the public with money to spend know that we want their business, and must have a part of it. We must learn the value of printer's ink when properly applied.
Penny Wise and Pound Foolish.
Is an old word which constantly reminds many of us of the errors we have made in that we failed to let the trading and buy-
ing public know what we had to offer for sale to those who had money to spend for such things, on the grounds simply that we could not afford to advertise. This error of "penny wise and pound foolish," which has been so frequently committed by many of our business (?) men, has resulted in many of them being forced to go out of business.
Does a Well Written Advertisement Pay?
If the other fellow who has had multiplied centuries of business experience and trading finds it necessary aid to the material interest and to the development of his business, to not only use columns of newspaper space to properly place his business in the best possible light before those who have money to spend for such things as are kept by him in stock, but whole pages, in the highest priced newspapers published in the community where live the people whom he wishes to serve, then the question naturally arises, why may we, the child race, not expect the same results from adopting the same tried and tested methods which are bringing to the other fellow such an abundance of success? Mr. Business Man, advertise.
Cleanliness Next to Godliness
We must keep our places clean, well lighted, well ventilated and attractive, free from dust cobwebs and the like, and be courteous, polite and painstaking in every detail and keep our business well advertised and our success is assured. These are some of the things for which the Negro Business League stand for, which meets the first Wednesday and the third Friday evenings in each month at 458 West Broad street, Wage Earners Bank building.
R. E. PHARROW INTERVIEWED BY REPRESENTATIVE ODD FELLOWS
"Mr. Pharrow, as hearty Odd Fellows, and earnestly desiring promote the best interest, we have undertaken to confer and discuss with leading Odd Fellows all over the state, what in their judgment, are the best things to be done to carry into effect the will and highest aim of the sixty thousand hearty Odd Fellows of this state. As you know, there is considerable unrest and dissatisfaction generally throughout our state. We desire to get your views as to the siphation.
"Well, gentlemen, I appreciate the honor you do me, in having sufficient confidence in my judgment to ask me my opinion and views about the situation in Georgia, which I have given much study and thought. To be fair with you, I realize as you do, something must be done. The brotherhood and sisterhood are growing dissatisfied and impatient with some of the things that are being done in the order in Georgia. One thing they want and must have is retrenchment and economy of the disbursement of the public funds of the Order. These funds were given by the brother and sisterhood at a great sacrifice and for a specific purpose, and they should be used for the purpose for which they were given. They are trust funds and should be used as such, without extravagance.
"Another thing I am strictly opposed to, is the members of the Executive Committee raising their own salaries. This has been done since the last Grand Lodge session in Savannah. No authority in the Order has the legal power to raise or fix salaries, levy or increase taxes and create offices but the District Grand Lodge. In other words the District Grand Lodge, like the legislature of a state, has only that power, for it is to the Order in Georgia, what the legislature is to the commonwealth.
"Public office is a public trust, and the Grand Master and all the other Executive Officers are the servants of the Brotherhood, and the power given is delegated, and should not be abused. I believe in absolute obedience to the laws of the Order, and that every brother, whether high or humble, should stand equal in obedience to the same. I believe that every brother should have a fair and impartial trial in the courts of the Order, of competent jurisdiction, in order that equal and exact justice may be obtained. These are some of the things to which we must address ourselves to bring about satisfaction and permanent success to the Order in Georgia. From time to time I should be glad to co-operate
with you and other brothers of the state in affairs pertaining to and looking to the best interest of our noble Order.' In conclusion, let me assure you that I am ready at any time to spend and be spent for the cause."
The delegation of brothers was well pleased with the clear and wise statement of Bro. Pharrow. We were all the more gratified because we know the man. He has been an active Odd Fellow for more than twenty-seven years and has never been called upon, in service or money, that he did not respond. It is not too much to say, that Bro. Phiarrow has contributed much for the good of the Order in Georgia. As contractor and builder, it was he, as all well know, who built the magnificent Odd Fellow's building and Auditorium, which are regarded as the finest Negro buildings in the world. And this was done with commendable patriotism. Never did he go out of his way to charge one cent more than he was entitled to. It was ever his chief aim and purpose to be of service to the Order. During the erection of these buildings he saved the Order more than twelve thousand dollars; this is a matter of record, and shows his devotion to our noble cause. Such a man measures up to the Grand Master timber, and in our judgment would be a blessing and a credit to the Order in the state. And we do not hesitate to state that he should be elevated to the position. He would be Grand-Master and not a figure head.

Driven Out for Doing Good.
Rome, Ga., Feb. 6—An act of mercy has made an Ishmaelite of George Kirker, a Chattooga County Negro. He was hired for ten dollars and a suit of clothes to bury, "without bell, book, or candle," a white man who died of

smallpox near Lyely, Ga. For 24 hours after the man's death a fruitless effort was made to secure an undertaker. Then recourse was had to Kirker.
Alone, he accepted the office, urged not so much by price as by spirit of mercy. With his duty done, he burned the clothes he wore, and clad thinly, started back to the boarding house which furnished him bed and board. As he was about to enter, other Negroes in the house fired at him, and shots whined by his car as he ran for cover. Halfdressed, he waited until nightfall, entered his room through a window, and after stealing a snit of his own clothes, vanished. He has not since been seen.

discriminated against were compelled to pay their own expenses? Every statement made above is a fact, and the records of the office of the District Grand Secretary will prove all that is said. Space will not permit me at this time to go further into the matter, but I cannot close without calling your attention to the irreparable injustice of the Executive Committee in creating the office of Secretary and Treasurer of the 18th B. M. C., at a salary of $1,000.00 per year and three clerk at not less than $300.00 each per year, all at your expense, and all of which is unauthorized.
Brethren, will you stand this longer? Does this indicate retrenchment? Do you own the Order, or does the Executive Committee own it? I believe as much as any one in the economical administration of the affairs of the Order and believe that the evils complained of should not be allowed to continue.
In like manner as the Order has honored the men who are now abusing the confidence placed in them, so can the Order take away from them the honor which they abused.
Fraternally,
R. E. PHARROW
