The above statement though stereotype in ‘form, embouies more significance than is at first revealed to the casual reader. A convention of Negro men and wo- men, representing the three allled pro- , fessions of mdicine, dentistry ‘and pharmacy, ought to be suggestive of one of the various phases of Negro progressiveness and aggressiveness. .y Emanating from the various parts of fine state are to be seen professional ‘men leaving their respective fields of labor once annually to attend a con- vocation of fellows for the two-fold Purpose of exchanging ideas and ex- perlences and to actively engage in the reading and discussing of papers both practical and technical, with a common. goal in yiew—the rendering of more efficient service for the bet- terment of mankind and the cause of suffering humanity. Augusta long famed for its wide spread hospitality and spirit of frater-| nal unity, endeavored to surpass her previous record on thiy most auspi cious occasion, when she welcomed to her homes this representative body of men whore honorable vocation de- mands the respect and endorsement of every community. ‘The genialty and benevolence of her representatives in the profession were most marked. The, welcome extended and the ho-pitality of her citizenry “made pleasant food for emphatic com- mendation on the part of visitas, while even the elements, fickle though they may be. deigned to give honor to the convention's presence and smiled serenely on its humane efforts. On Tuesday night, May 18th, the opening exercises -were held at the Tabernacle Baptist church, before @ large and, appreciative audience. A Paper read by Dr. J, W. Madison of Atlanta, on “The physiclan and In- dustrial insurance” yas welcomed as ‘a great effort and most opportune ela oration on this state-wide, subject of industrial instrance. On Wednesday night, Mas, 19th, the last public yesston was held in Trinity ©. M. E church, where another inter- esting program was rendered be- fore an enthusinstic audience.

There are few places in the whole country where things are done with, the same finish and completeness with which everthing {s doue at Atlanta University, and especially is this true of commence- ment. Every year brings its special features of merit, but this year seems to make it hard: to choose between the: special things of-merit so well was everything done. Since the death of Mrs. Adrienne Herndon, the department of elocution has felt her loss every year and maybe it will always be that way because of the brillimce of her genius, but this year one hears on every side that the class was “like those we used to give.” it is hard to see how the play rendered by the class, always one of the special features of commencement week, could haye been Improved upon. _ Miss An- zelo’ Edwards, of England, {3 a worthy successor: of Mrs. Herndon, ‘The alumni banquet brought together a great crowd of alumni who filled both the latze and the small dining hall.

Lemon as chairman, for the purpose of petitioning the authorities for play grounds for Negro children. A sub- committee was appointed to arrange for a conference. This committee succeeded in interesting a number of the Prominent white eltizens and some of tlie city. authorities who pledged thelr support. Bishop Reese of the digcese of Georgia, who is a staunch trlend of the Urban League, was also seen. He gave his endorsement in a strong letter, and not only that, but accompanied Mr: J. C. Lindsay and Rev. J. L. Taylor of the sub-committee, when they went to see the mayor. The bishop presented the plea for the play-ground. " Mayor Dayant assured them that he fs mindful of this need, and that next year he will have a play-ground for Negro children established on the East side and one on the West side. This good work of the Urban League committee along with the assistance of Bishop Reese will be halled with delight by all of the colored citizens. EUREKAS PLAY GA. STATE COL- “LEGE TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

Cars will be stationed at Habersham and Gwipnet streets, and as quickly as they are fifled will con- vey the crowd to the ball park.

Quite a large number of parents of the children and other friends were present. An interesting Program was carried out, with Miss Carrie Hendrickson acting as mistress of ceremonies. It was indeed encourag- ing to note how well trained the It. tle ones were and how well theydid thelr respective parts. The school has been in operation for some time and the teachers are untiring In their ef- forts to promote young minds. The address Was delivered by Rev. Daniel Wrizht and was very instrnetive.

It is useless to deceive yourself by, thinking you can make your petticoats and slips of last season do for this. The old tube-like undermuslins are out of the question with the voluminous skirt of the present mode. Far better how to fashion and to buy a hoop skirt. If hoop skirt sounds far-fetched to you, it's only because you have not seen the dainty creation masquerading under the old name. They are useful and graceful, these skirts with the reed, and they are actually going to wear them with filmy frecks this summer. One store features several in white and pastel shades of crepe de Chine with a flexible wire inserted above a deep lace flounce. As the skirt measures only two yards where the wire is placed, it acts the same as a stiffy starched skirt, without the bulk and clumsiness. Another house in the very heart of the shopping district, heretofore noted for its conservativeness, shows a model of ribbon and net, conspicuously placed in the boudoir window. This in itself is not a petty coat, but merely a foundation coming to the knee, formed of a shirred piece of net three inches wide, stiffened on either side and suspended from a waist band with half-inch ribbons. © McCALL. Taffeta Petticoat That Flares to the Limit of Fulness Significant of the change in underwear fashions, lingerie petticoats measure from three to ten yards in width. Now, when you buy an underskirt you do a patriotic act, for these cambric and muslin skirts consumed a large share of those famous bales of cotton we heard so much of last fall. Some especially pretty fine cambric and muslin models are shown in three and five gores, trimmed with galloons of embroidery and Valenciennes, fillet or lierre lace. These threaten the vogue of crepe de Chine which has come to be almost staple. The novelties of the season are skirts of mull combined with narrow new ruffles. An Empire design, made to wear with the new Empire dresses, is fashioned in this fabric and hangs straight from the bust. All in all, however, staples outnumber the novelties this season. The white washable sateen skirts offered with wide-pleated flounces are splendid to wear with thin frocks. The texture is so close, that there isn't the slightest chance of the wearers figure being silhouted in the sun. Drop skirts of cloth suits are, of course, more moderate in width, measuring from two to three and a half yards. Here, taffeta predominates, and as in the suits itself, blue is the leading color, although there are some white taffetas and Dolly Varden effects, which bid fair to be extremely popular during the summer. Ruchings and pinked ruffles are the two modes of trimming. It is surprising how many designs are accomplished with these. A taffetta skirt of deep Rocky Mountain blue shows an odd effect in the ruching which is placed zig-zag fashion in the center of the flounce. Others have the ruchings in straight rows, and the pinked ruffles are put on in the zig-zag manner or drapped like garlands on the lower skirt. Many of the stores display these skirts in brassieres, the tighter the better, no doubt for contrast, or perchance because there is so much new in brassiere fashions. It is interesting to not that the front closings have completely replaced the old cross-in-the-back styles, which at best were ill-fitting, uncomfortable garments. Above the bust line, some of the new waists are elaborately embroidered and trimmed with lace. One expensive, handmade model of linen has a yoke and short sleeve embroidered with a conventional rose design, and the edges button-holed with tiny scallops. However brassieres are not all fancy. Others have degenerated into mere strapless bust supporters. A rubber brassiere they offer for sale for $6.00 is said to reduce the bust two inches. If this is true, there may be no doubt of its future popularity. Indeed, so many types are featured, it is difficult to say what is what in underwear fashions. In the summer sales of white, where everything white is shown, each garment seems different and more adorable than the one before. Nightgowns, chemises and combinations for instance, find inspiration in every period of past hundred years and to make the choice more bewildering the garments are taking special names "Simplicity" is a batiste set, chemise and nightgown, with baby waist and puffed sleeve of the first Empire. "Victoria," a set in chiffon cloth of "Dawn Rose", a fabric similar to indestructible volle in a filmy rose color, comes from Victorian styles as one might readily guess, being made in sections joined together with fagoting. There is a name to fit every style and almost as many fabrics. In some of the sheerest models, striped Georgette crepe is used and then there are cotton crepes, French volles, mousselines, nainsoaks and chiffon clothes in Dolly Varden patterns, elaborately frilled or plainly piped, trimmed with Flemish, lierre, Valenciennes, fillet or Baby Irish crochet lace Just at this season, when the parks bloom with flowers and the shops with lingere, it is refreshing to linger over the fluffy frills for the boudoir. How charming the Robes de interior are! Again crepe de Chine is the fabric of the moment, coming in attractive leaf pattern, stripes and polka dot designs. The polka dot idea is used in a smart kimono in an Avenue shop. The silk is white with large and small green dots and is made with an Empire bodice and full skirt; the neck, sleeves and lower edge are finished with wide ruffs of maline and the waist with a twist of ribbon and pink rose in front. Crinoline wrappers are also featured for morning wear in dainty dimity, Swiss, mull and point d'sprit, ruffled in flower-like formation, tier upon tier. Other kimonos of China silk, taffeta and crepe de Chine show the art of the smocker. © BICCALL Polka Dotted Crêpe de Chine in Negligee, Pattern in the Style of the First Empire A Nattier blue taffeta matinee has a yoke effect of this needlework and narrow ruffles of white maline which match the ruffles on a taffeta petticoat Then, for milady who breakfasts in bed, there is a pretty jacket of peach blow satin trimmed with swan's-down, and one of the new shirred, circular pillows of the smae satin, to tuck and put behind her back. Breakfast jackets ofierre lace and point d'sprit are also shown. Each of these has its own particular boudou cap and here again names comes in play. The "Normandy" cap of maize, pink, white, or lavender crepe de Chine takes its style from the headaddress of the Normandy peasant and the "Colleen" cap is a confection of ecru net. Oriental lounging robes are also receiving considerable attention on account of their new shaded coloring. One butterfly kimono-of fine silk crepe is embroidered in a wisteria pattern, graduating in tone from deep purple to white. Styles for the boudoir go more than skin deep. Besides the kimonos and dainty caps, there are supporters and stays to thik of. For those woh do not wear a corset when lounging in their rooms, there are round garters of broad elastic, covered with shirred ribbon and finished with a flower to suit the color scheme of the negligee and room. However, if the negligee is somiftting, a stay must be worn. For this purpose, here are satin corsets in white and pastel shades made from the waltstline up, like bodices of olden times. With flexible whalebone, inserts of elastic and stockings supporters, they spell boudoir comfort, grace and luxury. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON SPEAKS TO URBAN LEAGUE business standing and testifying to his ambition to have the best of everything on earth, the "Wizard" said among other things: "The Negro must settle down somewhere and make himself a vital part of some community. No race can succeed permanently that is always moving from place to place. The individual must choose whether he will live in the city or in the country, but wherever he decides to make his home, let him stay there and grow with the growth of the community and have a definite part in its development." He referred that the race should get near the soil and gather the riches of the earth. He thought the masses would fare better in the south, where the bulk of the race is working out its destiny and will continue to do so, for economic and social reasons. The problems of city life were complex and full of danger, and city life is expensive. His humorous sally about the sudden transition of a Negro family from the bottom lands of the Yazoo valley in Mississippi to a twelve-story apartment house in New York City, with electric lights and an elevator, brought down the house, as did many other anecdotes that illustrated his many philosophical arguments. He dwelt strongly upon the superior advantages offered by this country as compared with portions of southern Europe, where he had closely studied conditions, and declared that no American, black or white, could go abroad and not return without a deeper reverence for the stars and stripes. He condemned without stint the man who is ashamed of his race, bearing down heavily upon the Negro who is miserable, bitter and pessimistic because he "doesn't want to be a Negro and can't be white." He declared that he is proud that he belongs to a race that has achieved so much under the most discouraging circumstances; he would not exchange races with the whitest man on earth. He said the utterance that pleased him most in the magnificent address of Mr. Marks was the pride he evinced in the fact that he was a Jew—and was not ashamed of his race, but proud of its history and its vast possibilities. He wished no sympathy because of his identification with the Negro race; did not wish to be pitied as a member of a "downtrodden" race. Noting the wonderful advancement of the Negro, he claimed that we are an "up-trodden" people. "Education for Service" is the Kernote of Progress. "Get all the education you can," advised Doctor Washington. "Go thru the common schools, the high school, the college, the university and all, if you can. Prepare for a profession, a technical calling, for scientific agriculture, acquire a trade, go into business, if you will; nothing is too good for the Negro. But, let it not be forgotten that the primary end of all education is service. The best man is the man who can do the best—who makes the best of his time and talents for the service of humanity." In this connection, Dr. Washington dwelt at length upon the dignity and beauty of labor, holding that all useful work is honorable and praiseworthy, and that idleness is the crowning disgrace. He urged that the Negro husband take counsel with his wife and cultivate an ambition that will make him look forward to a promotion from drudgery into a more lucrative calling. He insisted that the husband be more confidential with his 'sauquine siq pur sucul siq moqu aqy and that young women inquire more carefully into the business followed by young men who are courting them. The desirability of getting a bank account, of going to church at least once on Sunday, acquiring the pioneer spirit in business, investing money in a profitable manner that it may work while you are asleep, the danger of competition at the hands of foreigners who may migrate to these shores at the close of the European war and statistics showing the taxable values of the property owned by Negroes of Virginia and other states were discussed in an interesting way. The importance of a healthy body, a clear mind and constant industry were dwelt upon as essentials in holding a job that is worth while, and contrasting the easy times in the South, job seeks the man with the lean situation in the cities of the North, where men are fighting for every available job. He counseled the race to give the colored store-keeper a right ful share of Negro trade, and breaking down a color line observed at a market where all the selling was done by whites and all the buying by blacks. Undesirable roomers were told of to be avoided as far as possible, as well as the habit of "laying off" to do things that should be done at once. The practice of trying to buy everything that some one offered for sale was decried as an evil, and rigid economy was recommended. Dr. Washington showed how the National League on Urban Conditions is meeting the Negro's need in Greater New York in the matter of securing employment for the unemployed, protecting young women who come to the city as strangers, reforming housing conditions, fostering a better health movement and providing material for use in hospitals, relieving poverty and encouraging organizations that make for industrial efficiency. A Summary of the Day's Proceedings. At the opening of each of the four meetings of the "whirlwind tour" Associate Director E. K. Jones spoke briefly of the work of the League, distributing literature giving details of the things accomplished, and secured a large number of pledges for membership and liberal donations in aid of the cause. Major Moten made touching appeals for financial assistance, which met with a generous response and led the singing of "In Bright Mansons Abore" as only the stalwart Hamptonian can sing these songs of the heart. At the Union Baptist church the pastor, Rev. George H. Simms, presided, and at the Abyssinian Baptist church, owing to the illness of Mrs. Emma R. Rancom, the president of the X. W. C. A., Rev. R. C. Ransom conducted the exercises. Choice music was rendered by the New York Female Quartet, and a concise statement of the plans of the X. W. C. A., with reference to a new building, was made by Miss Emma Cabaniss, who has charge of the home. At the Concord Baptist church, Major Moten and Rev. W. M. Moss, the pastor presided jointly. Mention has already been made of the matchless service of the Hon. Marcus M. Marks as chairman of the monster rally at Palace Casino. Dr. Washington and Major Moten were entertained at luncheon at the beautiful home of Dr. E. P. Roberts on West Fifty-third street, and others of the party and officers of the league were entertained at the Lybia Cafe on 131st street. An elaborate dinner was served in the evening by Dr. and Mrs. Roberts, while another group accepted hospitality of Dr. A. S. Reid, of West Fifty-second street. Officers of the Urban League. Officers of the Urban League. The officers of the National League on Urban Conditions express themselves with the brilliant dash through Greater New York and declare that the impetus given the movement by the stirring talks of Dr. Washington will place the organization in the van as a promoter of social service for the Negro and make its name a household word. Its influence will be increased four-fold and results will be magnified in proportion. The high-purposed officers of the League are: Mrs. William H. Baldwin, Jr., chairman; Kelly Miller and Major R. R. Moten, vice-chairmen; L. Hollingsworth Wood, secretary; A. S. Frissell, treasurer; Victor H. McClutcheon, assistant treasurer; George E. Haynes, director; E. K. Jones, associate director.

A Word For the Tightwad. In France they have an expresstva phrase—“liquid money.” It means that part of the family income which is used for the necessaries and hxxuries of Ife. It is quite apart from and kept apart from the more serious, substan- tial part of the income, which is the saved part. In America the entire in- come fs “diquid,” and the man who at- tempts to make part of it solid is called a “tightwad.” A “tightwad” ts really @ man who creates a principal—a cap- ital, in other words—and he fs the liv- fmg example of what every private business must be and of how the coun- try’s resources should be handled.—Ar- gonaut.

Saturday May 29th, 1915 ‘The treatment accorded the Negroes by certain members of the police de partment Iust week during the May week street dances on Bull street, should call for strong denunciation on the part of every Negro in the city, The dances even though they were held on Say- annah‘s most prominent thoroughfare, Nere supposedly free to be witnessed by all classes of citizens and none of them should have been denied the privilege of seeing them. We cannot believe that those members of the police force who ejected Negroes from among the crowds witnessing these dances were acting with orders from police head- quarters for it is our opinion that the police authoritiés are too broad in their treatment of all of the citizens to issne such orders. However, Negroes Whereerer heen by ce}tain officers, were actually ordéred to move out of the crowds viewing the dances or were otherwise subjected to humiliation. These street dances were, we believe, sanctioned by the authorities because they were of the opinion that they would help the city in several ways, and not that some of the officers of the police force might heap indignities upon the colored citizens who felt it ‘their privilege to stand on a public thoroughfare and witness a public dance. We feel that this unjost.treat* ment of our people shouldbe thoroughly investigated and that their rights on the fpublic thoroughfares should be safeguarded by every meniberTof ‘th police department instead of tele tak? en away by any one of them. ‘We have found Chief 3feldrim to be impartial in his administration of the affairs of the police department and w6 do not believe that he would issne such discriminating orders as wore permet out by certain members of :hfs force during these caves, Not a Negro at- tempted to purchase a single one of the seats in the improvl<:] stands, nor did they desire to do so, but we did, and do still feel that we had the per- fect right to stand on Bull Street or any other street and witness any perform- ance which is conducted on a public thoroughfare. The time of school closing is about at hand and those schools which have not already done so will soon shut fast their doors for the summer time. With the closing exercises came many -things which in one way or the other appeal to us, but there is one mattér in particular which we feel should be emphasized and that is the habit which many of the schools have of encouraging the children to make some sort of gift to the principal or teacher. Especially 1s this true with reference to the graduating classes of several of the schools, and we feel that the times are indeed too hard aside from the fact that the pupils owe absolute. ly no debt of gratitude to their teach- ers, to force or even allow the children to pool their mites in order that some principal or teacher mizht be given some Httle memento. ,Parents as a general thing and especially is this true of thove who hare children in the graduating classes, are put to thelr wits’ end to mect the ordinary demands of thelr children for clothes during the closing day of school and it 15 indeed carrying the gift giving idea too far to ask that they provide their childrer with money to purchase a gift for some teacher or principal. , Then, too, the present giving habit of school childrer to their teachers has caused many child of extremely poor parentage tc feel greatly embarrassed because he could not join his mate in bringing some sort of gift for his teacher. The habit’is indeed a bad one and shoul¢ be discouraged by both teachers and pupils. _ - SWOd - aie en The Young Women’s*Christian Asso- ciation will meet at its usual place of meeting on néxt Sunday.

At 11_o’clock in the morning Doctor Washington spoke to 1,200 people at the Unfon Baptist Cbarch in sixty- third street; to more than 6,000 at the immense Palace Casino at 1:30 o’ctock; to 1,200 at 4 o'clock at the’ Abyssinia Baptist Church in Fortieth street, in connection with 2 special ‘meeting w der the direction of the Youpg Wom- en’s Christian Association; and at night to mérethan 1,500 at the Corncord Bax tist Church, Duttield street,-near Myr- tle avenue, in, Brooklyn, The total number in’ attendance during the day was in excess of 10,000, and through the entire 100,000 eolored citizens of Greater New York were reached in one sway or another. Each auditorium to which meetings were assicned was pack ed to, the utmost capacity and many were turned away. At the Ral-ace Ca- sino fully 1.000 persons were unable to gain admission, and at the churches the galleries, aisles, side rooms and corri- dors were jammed with throngs of hu- manity, ansious to hear the message of hope and cheer that the’ distinguished Tuskegee educator had come fo de- liver. ‘The National League on Urban | Conditions, which, under the mannge- ment of a strong official staff, has crown to be one ‘of the mast efficient’ agencies in the country for theduplift of the race, is delighted with the suc- cess of its “whirlwind cae of the day and it is felt that a shbstan- tial, advancement has been made fa the work of social service, to which it is devoting its hest energies.

Casino ‘The stellar meeting of the day, of course, was that held at the Palacé Casino, One Hundred and Thirty-fith street and Madison avenue, in the heart of Harlem, where 40,000 Negroes hayé their habitat. The spacious struc- ture was packed long before the hour announced for the opening,-and a cor- don of police, was neccessary to handle the crowd. More than 1,000 were turned away. Hon. Marcus M. Marks, president of the Borough of Manhattan presided, and delivered a” felicitous speecli of introduction in which the de- mand for liberty for all people's equal- ity of opportunity and al] social jus- tice were the predominant nofes. He commended the unselfish labors of Doctor Washington and described him as the “Moses of his race.,, Mr. Marks’ speech aroused the audience to a high pitch ofenthusiasm and paved the way for the “fest” that was to follow. Doctor Washington's Message of Hope. | Doctor Washington's address here and at the other meetings of the day was of an eminently practical nature. It dealt-frankly, directly and, forcefully with the vital needs of the Négro peo- ple, lauding them for the marvelous progress they, haye made since their emancipation, but pointing out-in no uncertain terms the wealnesses and shortcomings that must be corrected ere they could expect to reap the fujl measure of the success_tbat their well wishers hope for them. Without ora- torical frills or dmate word-palhting, the speaker “got right down’ to ‘brass tacks,” and talked to them in language that the humblest could readily under- stand, ‘After praising the typical New York Negro for his steady growth in Contiaued on page two . we, © —— po AWAY WITH ALL : - i !

It's one year since you left us, Though it seems but yesterday; When'er we call your loving name, Our eyes with tears are dimmed. We miss you dear mama and always. will, Our home is not the same; The place that you left vacant, No one else can ever fill. Good bye, dear mother and dear father, We must say our last good bye Till we meet in yonder city 10 part never more. Mrs. Frank Wright Mrs. Augustas Brown Mr. Walter Bing Miss Louisa Bing Miss Sabena Bing Children In sad but loving remembrance of my dear brother often wonder, Thinking of you over you. Though I know that you are happy, Happy and I should not wonder. For my dear, I love thee. As Christ in his life time far and hear. And when death shall read my summons I will meet you over there. Mrs. Emma Walker Morrell, sister Stevenson Carried His Tall Hat. Sir Sidney Colvin, in a lecture of "Personal Reminiscences of R. L. Stevenson," denied firmly that Stevenson had any affectation. "R. L. S," said Sir Sidney, "did once possess a frock coat and tall hat, which he acquired for the purposes of a wedding. Coming to London subsequently, he made the concession to my respectability of donning the coat and hat, and thus we walked down Piccadilly. But the hat was in Stevenson's hand, and as the gates of Burlington House closed on us, Stevenson was declaiming in vibrant voice and rich Scotch accent a chorus from Milton's 'Sasson Argonistes.'" -London Globe. The Largest Press. Among the rare specimens not open to public inspection in the Harvard zoological museum is what is claimed to be the largest frog in the world. It weighs about six pounds, is twenty-seven inches long from tip to toe and of a slaty black color. Its web feet are equal in size to those of a large swan. But three of its kind have ever reached the United States. Dr. Buslenger of the British museum was the discoverer of the new species in 1908 while on an expedition in central Africa. All known specimens have been found in two districts, called Kribil and Etulan, of the German colony Kanserun. Killoe's Scots Vergeular. Kipling's Boots Vermeulian. The Scotts (Scottish or Scotch) of "McAndrew's Kyma" is so accounts that one is surprised to find Mr. Kipling representing Scotch soldiers as saying "men." "Mon" is, of course, the conventional symbol of what a fleet utters for the word "man," but I am assured that no Scot says "mon," through there are in the north several variations of the accepted English pronunciation. Some Scotts say "mann," and others "mahn." "Mon" is reserved for pantomimes and 'pleasanties' in Punch—London Chronicle. Chinese Elea Tree. A flea, trap is in general use in fish chuan. It consists of two pieces of bamboo, one inside the other. The outer is about a foot in length and two and a half inches in diameter. It is longitudinally fenestrated. The inner bamboo is of equal length, but only about an inch in diameter. It is kept in position by means of a short wooden plug. The inner bamboo is coated with birddime or the like. The outer bamboo is protective. The trap can be placed under bedclothes, among rugs and so forth. Any fleas that go through get caught on the birddime. The traps might be of great value in connection with plague epidemics.—Dr Hinkle to Knowledge. His Principal Occupation. The art photographer had visited the farm. "I want to make an exhaustive study of this particular bit of landscape," he said, "and would like to have your hired man retain his present position on the fence there. Can he sit still?" "For days at a time," replied the farmer.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Humid Rhine Valley. The climate of the Rhine valley is warmer than in most other parts of Germany and is consequently more favorable than any other regions for the cultivation of tobacco, grapes and corn. The humidity of the valley is excessive, sunshine is quite limited, and the annual precipitation ranges from twenty-four to thirty-two inches. It Doesn't "He who laughs best laughs last, you know."

Contrary to the generally accepted dictum that geniuses have been the firstborn of their parents, a medical journal gives the following: "Coleridge was the last of thirteen children, Cooper the eleventh of twelve, Washington Irving the last of eleven, Balzac the last of three, George Elliot the last of four, Napoleon the eighth and probably the last of his family, Daniel Webster the last of seven, Franklin the last of seventeen and the last born of several generations, Rembrandt the last of six, Rubens of seven; Landseer was the fifth of seven, Von Weber the ninth, Wagner the last of seven, as also Mozart; Schumann the last of five and Schubert the thirteenth of fourteen." The Objection. "Here is a very useful little book called 'The Pocket Lawyer,'" began the book agent. "No, thanks." said the victim. "I don't want any lawyer in my pocket." —New York Times In the novels the husband strolls into the conservatory for a little smoke before dinner. In real life he strolls into the kitchen and raises blue blazes with the light of his life because dinner isn't ready. Beaufort S. C.

Commenting on the fact that however inaccessible a business man may be to callers, he will generally answer the telephone. Electricity says that the explanation is a very simple one. There is an element of mystery about a telephone call. The called party never knows, until he actually responds, whether or not the caller is a person of importance or has something of vital import to communicate. It is just a matter of luck, and your average business man, no matter how deep he may be in the conduct of his affairs with others actually present, will almost invariably break off the most important personal conversation to answer a telephone call. Anneal of the Hymn. What constitutes the appeal of the popular hymn? "Diligrims of the Night," by Father Faber, has been as popular as any hymn of the past century, and one has to confess to a lump in the throat when it is sung. Nor is it merely on the sentimentally inclined that the hymn has effect. Froude records overhearing it in Hyde park one Sunday evening, when Carlyle, with deep emotion, bade him come away, as he could never hear those words without desiring to weep. Yet I have still to meet the person who can give a clear interpretation of what is meant by Faber's appealing lines.—London Chronicle. East Indian Infantry A captain in an Indian infantry regiment is known to his men as a "subadar," and the next man below him is called a "jemadar." Most of the officers and noncommissioned officers have names that finish with "dar," for a sergeant is n. "havildar." A corporal, however, is called a "walk," 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. Getting Rough With Juanita Small Mary, who had been taught to read by the modern "sounding out" system, was amusing herself by singing the school songster from cover to cover. Presently, as she reached "Juanita," one heard coming in her hirdlike little voice from the depths of the big armchair: "In the dark & slammed her." A startled parent found that the line really read: "In thy dark eyes' splendor."—New York Post. Putting Them at Ease. Precedence is not the only puzzle in official and social circles in any city, but to say the right thing at the right time is equally necessary. "To make mistakes in speech is suicidal," said a state department official recently. "Let it not be as in the case of Mrs. Brody, who gave a party, and when all the guests were in the parlor she entered with a beaming smile and said: "Do make yourselves at home, ladies. I'm at home myself, and I wish you all were."—Washington Star. Nietzsche and the Invalid An invalid lady who often met Nietzsche found him the gentlest, kindest and most sympathetic of men. He "implored her with tears in his eyes not to read his books." Such was his knowledge of women that he was thunderstruck to find shortly afterward that the lady at once proceeded to read them all. He was further stupefied by the discovery that, having read them, she was utterly unmoved by the philosopher's unanswerable demonstrations that feeble persons like herself had no right to live and that women were distinguished by this, that and the other objectionable attribute. It must have been a blow to him—London News. Strength of Eggshells Most people are aware of the power of eggshells to resist external pressure on the ends, but not many would credit the results of tests recently made, which appear to be genuine. Eight ordinary hen's eggs were submitted to pressure applied externally all over the surface of the shell, and the breaking pressure varied between 400 pounds and 675 pounds per square inch. With the stresses applied internally to twelve eggs these gave way at pressures varying between 32 pounds and 65 pounds per square inch. The pressure required to crush the egg varied between 40 pounds and 75 pounds. The average thickness of the shells was 12-1000 inch—London Globe. Barber a Man of Strength. "I suppose that most people," said a barber, "would consider plying the shears and razor as comparatively easy work; they would not expect to find barbers men of muscle. "The fact is that standing all day and even in the easier parts of his work using his arms all day in various positions the barber keeps his muscles in constant exercise, while in such operations as shampooing and massage he is called upon for the exertion of downright strength. "He may not have the muscle of a man always in strict training, but I think you would find that, as a rule, the barber is no weakling."—New York Sun. Experience Teaches At a time when Parnell was deliberately setting himself to parlyze the legislative efficiency of the house of commons, a friend said to him, "Mr. Parnell, how did you acquire your extraordinary knowledge of the rules of the house?". "By breaking them!" was the laconic reply. A Medal of Blood. A Medal of Blood Garibaldi was once presented with a medal made of his own blood. The giver was Dr. Manini of Naples, who was well known as a petrifier and preserver of the human body. Dr. Manini in offering the gift to Garibaldi said that whenever the general looked at it it would brace him up for the last fight, and across the medal were engraved the words, "The Blood of Garibaldi Is Forever Red." The strange medal is preserved by the general's descendants. A Lame Excuse. "A French sentinel in Algeria," said a playwright, "had for his colonel a very tall, lanky, round shouldered man. This round shouldered colonel one night was making a quiet inspection. Passing the sentinel, he found, to his rage and indignation, that he was not challenged. So he returned to the man and roared: "You didn't challenge me!" "N-no, sir,' faltered the sentinel, saluting. "Well, why didn't you?' the colonel demanded. "Excuse me, sir,' said the sentinel, 'but I thought—I beg your pardon, sir—I thought you was a camel.'" Essad Pasha'a Rovenca A number of years ago Genl Bey, Essad Pasha's brother and, like himself, an Albanian nationalist, was shot by order of Abdul Hamid. For this reason, when the Turkish parliament deposed the sultan, Essad Pasha begged to be sent to Yildiz klosk to tell Abdul of his fate. Accompanied by three others, he presented himself before his brother's murderer and pronounced the formula: "In accordance with Fetva, the representatives of the nation have decreed your deposition. Follow us." Essad subsequently declared that April 27, 1909, when he thus, tasted the sweets of revenge, was the happiest day he had ever known.—London Spacetator. There is a Broadway comedian whose wife is very fond of pets. He blocked her plans for adding to the ecological establishment as well as he could without spoiling the domestic entente, for he disliked pets. Then she wanted ichthyological accessions in the way of goldfish and nagged her husband until he grudgingly consented to the purchase. * "Oh, very well, then," he muttered gloomily. "But I hate the noisy things."—New York Post. Those Who Buy Them. The man who can't afford to buy one; the man who prefers to own a good team of thoroughbreds; the man who doesn't mind the first cost, "but it's such an expense to run one;" the man who wouldn't have time to enjoy one the man who would like one all right "only I want to get my place paid for first"—they are all buying cars so fast that the factories can't keep up with orders. Before long there will not be enough pedestrians left to furnish sport for the drivers. Puck. 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 enterer 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. Eskimo Hlob 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, intent on displaying their prowess. Casualties Expected. During one of Cannon's bitter political fights in his district in Illinois the opposition resorted to desperate tactics. Among other things friends of Uncle Joe were summarily dismissed from positions they held in the public service. Some of his friends became alarmed at this, and one of them called on the speaker at his residence and said, somewhat excitedly: "Joe, Smith and Jones have just lost their positions in the postoffice. What are we going to do about it?" Uncle Joe took another puff at his cigar and then answered, with a benevolent smile: "Nothing. If you go into battle, you have got to expect to have some dead and wounded." Not Good at Riddle. A lawyer was questioning a new client, a widow, the other day about her history. "My history," she replied, "is simplicity itself. My first was the happiness of my life, my second was goodness itself, my third"— "Excuse me, madam," interrupted the attorney, "but really we aren't here to guess charades." Broke It Gently. A miner got killed and a tactful associate was delegated to break the news to the widow. So the tactful fellow called at her house and said: "With your golden hair, blue eyes and pink and white complexion, ma'am, you'd break every heart in town if you wore widow's weeds." The young woman laughed and blushed for pleasure. "Oh, go on," she said. "And you are a widow, too," said the tactful miner 'quickly, seizing his chance. "Bill's head and legs and arms was just blown off in an explosion. But you're goln' to look good. In black, though!" Youth's Rapid Rise. Manager (hiring office boy)—Well, my lad, what do you say? Applicant—Before I take the job, sir, I'd like to know if there's any chance of promotion. Manager—Well, as to that, it depends on the boy. The last one we had here owned the whole place before he'd been with us two months.—Boston Transcript. Know the Symptoms "Now, sir," said the persuasive philanthropist. "we want you to be the chairman of the big meeting which we are to hold." "How much?" inquired Mr. Cassius Chex wearly. "I don't quite follow you." "I don't quite follow you." "How much is the deficit that you expect my subscription to meet?"—Washington Star. Juvenile Reasoning. It was a very youthful class in phyalology. "Why," asked the teacher, "is it best to eat soup first when one is very hungry? The pupils stared at her blankly. Then Jamie enlightened them from the depths of his own experience. "You can get it down faster," he announced—Dellineator. An Uneonacious Teast. Lord Clyde one day after dinner asked a chaplain to one of the regiments in India for a toast, who, after considering some time, at length exclaimed with great simplicity: "Alms and black a day! What can I give?" "Nothing better," replied his lordship. "Come, gentlemen; we'll give a bumper to the parson's toast, 'A lass and a lac a day,'" A lac means 100,000 rupees, or $25,000, which is certainly an income to make one happy.-London Chronicle. Elightening Comparison. One man will tell a newspaper that it should not print this or that, because he has no desire to read that sort of thing. He might as well tell the grocer not to sell cheese because he can't digest it—Toledo Blade. Why. Indeed? The Doting Mamma (after the brilliant piano solo) -My daughter has been practicing for six years. The Gronchy Caller-But why should she practice in public?-Cleveland Plain Dealer. To Make Shaving Easier To shave easily and save the blades of safety razors, leave a pleasant feel on the face and make all razors take less stropping, adopt the following plan: Lather the face well and wash off the $ ^{2} $lather. That gets rid of all dust. Then with a small brush work into the skin a little vaseline, and without removing this relather the face well, and then shave. The first day or two the plan does not seem so successful, but after that the advantages are very marked—London Field. There Was a Difference. When Dr. Randall Davidson, archbishop of Canterbury, was a curate, one day at Dartford he took a Sunday school class in a neighboring parish. The subject was "King Solomon," and after the lesson he proceeded to catechise the children. "Tell me, boys," he said. "what was the difference between Solomon and other men?" No answer. "Come, come!" said the future archbishop. "Was there any difference, for instance, between King Solomon and myself." A tiny hand went up, and a tiny voice replied, "Please, sir, Solomon was wise!"-London M. A. P. The Coveted Hand. The young man had gone to the heir-ress' father—always a ticklish job—but he took his courage with an iron grip. "Sir," he blurted out, "I want to ask you for your daughter's hand." Justifiable. "Why did you beat Dobson so terribly?" said the judge, indicating the bebandaged figure of the plaintiff. "I asked him why a horse had run away, your honor," explained the prisoner, "and he told me that because the animal had lost its equine immunity." "H'm," said the judge. "Discharged."—Lippincott's Magazine. Unspeakable. Anxious Author—What do you think of this play? Manager—You had better send it to a movie concern. Anxious Author—Why? Manager—Words cannot express the sadness of it—Dartmouth Jacko' Lantern. Ably Defined. A certain archbishop when asked whether it was a grievous lie for a woman to misstate her age replied: "A lie may be defined as a statement made by one rational being to another rational being with the intent to deceive. Now, as no rational being would think of asking a woman her age with the expectation of being answered truthfully, one of the elements of the lie is lacking, and the woman's statement cannot, strictly speaking, be defined as such." - Judge Proved Hla Bravery One evening I was seated upon the crowded roof garden of the Palace hotel in Shanghai, safely within the international settlement, watching the fires which were numerous in the Chinese city and listening to the battle and a dissertation by an authoritative looking fellow guest in the hotel during which he had just made the statement that he could take the arsenal with a corporal's guard of his fellow nationals when a shell-screamed close over our heads and burst in the public garden along the bund. Others followed it. We all bolted for the elevators, but the armchair tactician was the best sprinter and beat us all to it—Bartlett G. Young in World's Work. Not His Heart. Parson—Good morning. Mrs. Stubbins. Is your husband home? Mrs. Stubbins—'E's home, sir, but 'e's abed. Parson—How is it that he didn't come to church on Sunday? You know we must have our hearts in the right place. Mrs. Stubbins—Lor', sir, 'is 'cart's all right. It's 'is trousers—London Truth. Off and On. The speaker, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was addressing a Y. M. C. A. meeting in Cleveland. "Save when you're young," repeated Mr. Rockefeller, with a smile. "The years will pass swiftly. Then when you find yourself well on you'll also find yourself well off." Got His Reward. Years ago a tradesman whose name is now a household word was employed in a modest capacity in a west end shop in London. While exhibiting some delicate ware to the very first customer he served he let it fall and break. The customer, a doctor, good naturedly took the blame and paid for the broken article. Years later the salesman, now a wealthy man, called on the doctor, reminded him of the incident and settled on him $5,000 a year for life.—London Express. An Old Time Recipe Some advice to secure health and longevity is found in an old and undenified print: First, take advice from none; consult only yourself; second, take your digestion into your confidence and place yourself at its disposal, listening to no suggestion from your palate, which is greedy and selfish; third, avoid all books on diet and sleep in a room with the windows open, and, fourth, take a cheerful view of your surroundings and allow as little as possible to disturb your serenity. The English Language The English language contains about 600,000 words, but of this total nearly one-half consists of scientific terminology—that is, seldom met with outside of text books—and of archaic terms. An examination of 100,000 words shows them to comprise 60,000 words of Teutonic origin, 30,000 of Greek or Latin origin, and 10,000 words derived from miscellaneous sources. Milton wrote his "Paradise Lost" with 8,000 words, and Shakespeare got up his plays with 15,000.—New York American. Most Wonderful Clock. The most wonderful clock in the world is in St. Petersburg. It has ninety-five faces. It indicates simultaneously the time of day at thirty points on the earth's surface, besides the movement of the earth around the sun, the phases of the moon, the signs of the zodiac, the passage over the meridian of more than fifty stars of the northern hemisphere, and the date according to the Gregorian, Greek, Mussulman and Hebrew calendars.

Jamerson FIRST-CLASS DENTIST - All Work Guaranteed Wage Earners Bank Building PHONE 3227-L MASONIC NOTES A New Landmark Coming down to us form our forefathers who have gone this way before us, and have been gathered unto their fathers, sacred by the sacrifices they have made, strong because built upon the eternal foundation of truth, equality and rational liberty, surviving the storm of harsh criticism and lash of abuse because built, upon such foundation, is an institution commonly known to us as Masonry. So much has been written that it seems nothing new remains. Its history has been written not only by Msasone Muscat, but by deeds of those who have listened to its teachings and have endeavored to carry those teachings into their daily lives. That, it seems to us, is the test Masonry must soon encounter. Our fathers have builded the foundation and the super-structure wisely and well they have left to us the plans and the working tools and passed on to higher and nobler duties, leaving to us their successors the duty of carrying on the work. Already it seems to us a new beacon light appears. Faith, Hope and Charity, but the greater of these is Charity, for our Faith is lost in sight. Hope ends in fruition but Charity extends beyond the grave to the boundless realms of eternity and Charity is love. Love means sacrifice, a giving of the host we have. Do you ever stop to think, my brethren, how much better and happier this old world of ours would be if there was only a little more Charity? How often do we harshly criticise when we little know the circumstances, when perhaps were we placed in the same position the result would be far worse. How often do we magnify the faults in our brother forgetting our own weaknesses. Surely our word at times penetrate like the thrust of a knife and cause untold anguish to a worthy man and brother. If we can say nothing good let us be silent. Let us ever remember we are all human, all have our folbles and all stand in need of help, not criticism. There is so much that is bad in the best of us, So much that is good in the worst of us That it is not wise for any of us. To sit in judgement on the rest of us. There are many lessons taught in our Masonic ritual; useful, beautiful lessons but the greatest of these is Charity. If a brother be hungry, feed him. If hebe athirst, give him to drink. If he be in distress, relieve him. If his character be assailed, protect him. We are taught all of these lessons and many more, but how many of us try to practice them. How many times do we think of them only as a part of a beautiful ritual and not for every day use. Masonry has ever stood for character, not creed; for broadness of mind and depth of feeling, not a narrowness of vision and superficial qualities; for a man's good traits, and not his faults and failings. If Masonic charity can make this world a happier world, can share some heavy burden, make some heavy hearts lighter then surely if it does nothing more, it has justified its existence. How often can we do this if we will, how much can we do if we try and how much happier we will be if we give heart service, not lip service only, and how surely it comes back to us measured full and overflowing. We pass this way but once if there be one kind word we can say, one good deed we can perform, for we come not back again. THE NEWLY MADE MASTER MASON The following beautiful expression of our esteemed Past Grand Master Chas. F. Buck is making the rounds of the Masonic press: The newly made Master Mason stands before us, the embodiment of spiritual perfection, from which the vices and mortalities of common life have been extracted and cleansed away. He grasps the hand, not of a man, but mankind—he becomes one with and a part of the suffering mass as the pledges of fellowship are unfolded to him, and his footsteps, his prayers and sympathies of his heart are consecrated to the service of his brother. As a rule, the new Master Mason grasps the vigor and beauty of this consumption. He realizes as he looks hastily, perhaps vaguely, back over the various journeys he has made from his first surprise to the final climax, that a new and broader view of his own being has developed into consciousness. He is, perhaps, dazzled in the revelation that has come to him—in the beauties of a system which contains hidden in its simple and innocent formalities the whole problem of life aye, and of death and immortality! He feels, in a breath, his weakness and his strength; his dependence and sovereignty; his morality and his divine hope. He bows in a sense of humility before the grandeur of the new light by which his spirit sees, and dedicates himself in silent worship to the realization of its deep suggestions. He may truly wonder why, with so much of goodness and beauty in the human heart which Masonry has bred home to his own soul—like a new inspiration—the world should not be better and happier than it 's. THE REAL WORKER. The man or woman who does work worth doing is the man or woman who lives, breathes and sleeps that work; with whom it is ever present in his or her soul; whose ambition is to do it well and feel rewarded by the thought of having done it well. That man, that woman, puts the whole country under an obligation.—John Ruskin. INFLUENCE He who wishes to exert a useful influence must be careful to insult nothing. Let him not be troubled by what seems absurd, but let him consecrate his energies to the creation of what is good. He must not demolish, but build. He must raise temples where mankind may come and partake of the purest pleasures.—Goethe. Defeat is sometimes a really valuable experience. To win all the time does not make for development of character. The real test comes in defeat. Then if a man can come back he shows his true worth.—William Howard Taft. SMALL DUTIES. It does not matter if the greatest thing for you to do be not in itself great. The best preparation for greatness comes in doing faithfully the little things that lie nearest. The nearest is the greatest in most human lives.—David Starr Jordan. SCOTT BROS. SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD DO BECAUSE THERE IS NO REASON WHY YOU SHOULD NOT DO THEM. TRADING WITH SCOTT BROS.

Lesson X.—Second Quarter, For June 6, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, II Sam. xi, 22 to xii, 7a—Memory Verses, xii, 5. 6, 7a. Golden Text, Ps. ii, 10—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Instead of assigning us a helpful lesson, such as chapter viii, which we briefly touched upon in our last, or the beautiful story of David's kindness to the son of Jonathan (chapter lx), the committee has given us in this lesson one of the worst phases of the human heart, which is always and only deceitful above all things and desperately wicked (Jer. xvii, 9, 10). He who alone knows and can search the heart has caused this and all similar records to be written that we might see more clearly that all are sinners and that there is none righteous—no, not one—but that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners and that the greatest sinner may be saved and the greatest backslider forgiven and restored. To find such a development of our sinful human nature in such a man as David after all that the Lord had done for him is truly humiliating and should lead us all to say, "Woe is me!" for who is there to whom the prophet might not say concerning this or some other phase of our sinful nature, "Thou art the man" (xii, 7). When we remember that "the thought of foolishness is sin" and that a sinful look is in the sight of God equal to a sinful act (Prov. xxiv, 9; Matt. v, 28) and that, as C. H. Spurgeon said, "Whatever the Lord Jesus Christ would not think or say or do is sin," it leads one to cry out, "God be merciful to me, a sinner," and to say, "If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?" (Luke xvill, 13; Ps. cxxx, 3, 4.) But the comfort is that He can make the vilest whiter than snow (Ps. ii, 7). It is interesting to note that, while the child yet lived, David fasted and wept and lay all night upon the earth, for he said, "Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live?" But when the child died and the will of God was known then he said: "Wherefore should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me" (verses 15-23). When those dear to us are sick and we cannot tell what the will of God is for them and us it becomes us to wait earnestly upon Him for their health, but always in submission to His will. When He has made plain His will, whatever it may be, it becomes us to say, "Even so, Father," for we know that "as for God, His way is perfect" (Matt. xi, 26; Pa. xvill, 30). In verses 24, 25, we have the two names of Bathsheba's next child, Solomon and Jedidiah. The latter, as in the margin, signifies "beloved of the Lord," for the Lord loved him and sent by the hand of Nathan to name him. The Lord called him Solomon before he was born, saying to David, "Behold, a son shall be born to thee who shall be a man of rest, * * * and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days" (I Chron. xxii, 9). He said, "His name shall be Solomon," which, according to the margin, means "peaceable." There are just seven men in the Bible story who were named before they were born—five in the Old Testament and two in the New Testament. Find the others and consider them. Let us give the rest of our time to the very suggestive story of Mephibosheth in chapter 1x. When David came to the kingdom he made inquiry for any who might be living of the house of Saul that he might show them kindness for Jonathan's sake. He found that there was a son of Jonathan who was lame on both feet, his nurse having let him fall when he was five years old as she took him up to flee with him at the time of his father's death (II Sam. iv, 4). His being lame because of the fault of another reminds us that the whole race is lame on both feet because Adam let us all fall. He was at this time at Lo-dehar, which signifies no pasture, and that is where all sinners are. His name also signifies the condition of every sinner. David sent to where he was and brought him into his presence, and Mephibosheth fell on his face and did reverence. So the sinner when brought face to face with the Saviour (that is by faith) feels like saying, as Peter did when overwhelmed with loving kindness, "I am a sinful man, O Lord" (Luke v, 8). David's restoring to him all that he had forfeited because of Saul reminds us that all we lost in Adam and more is given back to us in Christ and all in grace for His name's sake. How beautiful to see Mephibosheth dwelling in Jerusalem and eating continually at the king's table, even though he continued lame on both his feet (ix. 13). Every saved sinner is privileged to dwell by faith in Jerusalem, City of Peace, and to feast upon the good things provided by the king, but while we stay in these mortal bodies we will never get over our lameness, but will have to say to the end. "I know that in me—that is, in my flesh—dwelleth no good thing" (Rom. vil. 18). Some believers seem to take pleasure in talking of their lameness, their love is cold, their faith is weak, they are this and that and very miserable sinners. Better far to keep their lameness out of sight and enjoy and talk of the king's bounty. AT ALL GOOD DEALERS 50¢ UP The Secret of a Good Figure often lies in the brassiere.

The mock trial given at] pr “V7 WR WR pS EH WT WEY @erera aw gases There are quite a number of small and diversified enterprises Into which members of the race with small cap!- tal might enter and make of them pay- ing propositions, It is a, wéll kuown fact that every Negro who has entered into any special line of business and put brain, energy and enthusiasm in- to it as a rule has made it go- After all it is the small business, which had its obscure beginning and had behind it men who were determined to succeed in their line, that is to-day among the best owned by members of the race. The force which made the small enter prises go and gave to the race in Georgia the Standard Life Insurance Company, the Atlanta Mutaal Insur- ance Association together withi five other strong industrial insurance com- panies, and the four Negro banks, to say nothing about the many other en terprises of the race, though many of them small but just as deserving, has behind it men who had faith, in the first place, in themselves; secondly, faith in the people whom they were en- deavoring to serve and last, but by no meanm the least, faith in the heavenly Father, who has promised under all conditions to always help those who will first make an effort to help themselves. As a result of these successful efforts, members of the race with small capital, but with large re- sources cf common sense and enthu- siasm to draw upon, should feel en- couraged to begin some new enterprise just like the other fellow is doing from time to time, which will mean more and better employment furnished to the deserving-ones among us, who are striving with might and main to make an honest living by giving an honest day’s work for an honest dollar. § Bo of Use to One Another In stead of trying to always use one another, we are of the opinion that muci more good would be accomplished for the race, if, indeed, a paragraph in our business creed read, “to be of use to the public,” rather than use the pub- lic. In nearly every community is found the man who believes that the entire community’ owes him its patron- age and support, while, as he sees it, he owes the community nothing. We hare seen men engaged in business who would complain that others in the community were withholding their support from him which” he felt was rightfully his and in’ the meantime, giving it to the other fellow, when he himself was guilty of the same -thing of whi¢h he was accusing lis Negro neighbor. These are a few baneful co ¢a’ans which are sappisz the very life of Negro enterprises not only in this irrmediate community but near- ly every where. The Negre Inisiness Ieasne is very anxious te impress ure on the inipds of those of us engazed bit business to have at all times a recipro- cal disposition, in other words. prac- tice what we preach. Be Ready for Service. Y Be ready for service is one of the sayings of wisdom so strongly emjha- sized by the intrepid race leader and wizard of Tuskegee, Booker T. Wash- ington. No man who has proven to’ the other fellow beyond doubt that he was really prepared to do business on as high a plane as his competitors about him, has ever had to stand around’ ad cry, “the people walk by me,” but on the hand, when_s Negro business’ place is kept up to the stan- dard set by the other fellow no one scarcely ever stop to inquire as to whether such a place belong to the black man or the other fellow. The question uppermost in the minds of those with money in hand’ to spend,. ix “can we deliver the good.” This is the question that the Negro man en- gaged in business must be prepared to answer, for example: Thé’Negro Mattress Factory | Which fs owned and coytrolled by Negro brain and money and which business is being conducted in its’ own building at 318 East Bay street and which business furnishes employment to seven skilled Negro workmen, who are said to make the very best mat- tresses that Savannah has ever had SULIDR 2b 0L5 Seay Sy Wee el which business furnishes employment to seven skilled Negro workmen, who are said to mike the very best mat- tresses that Savannah has ever had and too, the three dozen beds which are the daily capacity of this Negro mattress factory, are sold in their en- >tirety to the furniture stores operated by the other fellow, who never stops once to question whether these fine beds were made by Arabs, Turks, Ne- groes or what not, but since the ex- elusive trade which they handle de- mands these beds they simply use com- mon business sense and proceed to sup- ily the demand. A Great Business Lesson A creat business tesson which the Negro man engaged in business would do well to learn is that when there is a demand for- a certain article. the merchant who is in business should see fo it that that article is kept in stock. © As much as we regret to say, frankvess and fairness- demand that we do so, that a business man com- plained to us a few days since, that he and otber ‘friends had tried more than a dozen times to buy a certain brand of cigar from a Negro merchant, who had failed for some reason to carry this brand of cigar, when his neighboring competitors all around him were eatrying this brand ind were actually making inroads upon his trade As we all know, it is the habits form- ed which usually tells of ones’ future life. When a would be customer is told from time to time that certain ar- ticles are not in stock, as a rule that customer will seek other places to do his or her shopping, where all of their purchases can be made at one place. quarrelling and ranting to the contra- ry not withStanding, Mr. Business Man, take warning and govern your- self accordingly.
