Stewart Lectures Tomorrow WILL ADDRESS GATHERINGS OF MEN AND WOMEN SEPARATELY At the First African Baptist Church, Franklin Square and St. Philip Church.—Men at 3:30, Women at 5 Dr. Chas Stewart of Chicago, Ill., the only Negro member of the Associated Press, will deliver two lectures in this city tomorrow afternoon. The first lecture will be given at 3:30 o'clock at the F. A. B. Church, Franklin square and will be for men only, and the second will be for women only and will take place at 5 o'clock at St Philip Church. Dr. Stewart is one of the most forceful and prominent Negro speakers in the country and his addresses on tomorrow will doubtless attract large crowds. Aside from being a member of the Associated Press, Dr. Stewart is one of the most celebrated Negro lecturers He has a most telling and characteristic way of handling his subjects and his audiences always find much delight in listening to his talks. Dr. Stewart's address to men tomorrow afternoon will be under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. The association has advertised the address widely and a large crowd of men is expected out. Those who remember Dr. Stewart's address here to men last month are still talking of the excellent treat he gave them and those who were present on that occasion will be out to hear him again tomorrow afternoon. MR. WILLIAMS SERIOUSLY ILL Friends of Mr. Geo. S. Williams of 412 Duffy street, west, will be grieved to learn of his serious illness. Last Saturday about noon, while attempting to ascend a ladder leading to the roof of his building on West Broad street, he was attacked with a paralytic stroke and fell to the floor. For several hours the doctors, who were summoned worked on him and it was not until about 2 o'clock that they permitted him to be moved to his home. His condition at a late hour yesterday was still precarious and his many friends are very anxious about him His entire right side is effected by the stroke. SATURDAY JULY 10TH 1915 CATTLE PARK LAST WEDNESDAY Base Ball Thursday At Athletic Park SAVANNAH HOME ASSOCIATION MEETS EUREKA CLUB Interesting Game to be Played—Both Teams in Good Conditions—Large Crowd Expected Out. Much interest is being manifested in the approaching game of base ball to be played on next Thursday afternoon at Athletic park when the Savannah Home Association and the Eureka ball teams will cross bats and put up the fight of their lives for the championship of the civic organizations. Both teams are in good conditions and are practicing hard for the event. There is no doubt that an interesting and exciting game will be played, owing to the fact that neither team has as yet been defeated. Much speculation is going the rounds as to which team is the strongest. Last season the Home Asso. boys took all the games that it played and the same trick has been turned by the Eurekas this season. This will be the first time that these two teams have met on the diamond and there is every reason to expect on account of their records, that the game will be fast, snappy; and hotly contested. The public should avail themselves of this opportunity and go out to the park and enjoy this good brand of ball that is promised. The clubs that are promoting this game are the two most popular clubs in the city, each has a very large following and on account of this, the outlook for a large park is promising. Special care will be taken of the visitors who will be here in attendance upon the K. of P. grand lodge and any desired information will be cheerfully given. The two managers, Ed. R. Collins and Walter T. Haynes, have made arrangements for the conveying of the crowd and cars will be stationed at Gwinnett and Hakersham streets, or you can take the Thunderbolt car which will put you off at the park. The game will be called at 4 o'clock, and it is expected that two umpires will be used. The price of admission will be fifteen cents with no extra charges for the grand stand. A. B. SINGFIELD, ADVOCATOR OF THE RANK AND FILE. One of the most prominent members of the Knights of Pythias of the state is A. B. Singfiled of this city, past chancellor of Crescent Lodge. Mr. Singfiled who was born in Harlem, Ga., Columbia county, in 1876, spent his boyhood there where he received his early education, going from there to Augusta where, at the age of 18 years, he entered the railroad service as locomotive fireman and worked as such for eleven years. In 1900 he entered the industrial insurance field and worked as agent for the Pilgrim Health and Life Insurance Company for four years, when he was elected a member of the executive board of that company and also general superintendent. In this capacity he traveled throughout the state inspecting the various branch offices and in 1900 was sent to this city to take charge of the company's office. When he assumed charge of the local office he found a debit of $123.00 Under his supervision the debit of this office increased by leaps and bounds and the report of the present week shows nearly a thousand dollars, the exact figures being $956.95. When he took charge of the work here the local office had but few agents. To-day his office gives employment to twenty-eight collecting agents, two special men and four female clerks. His office is the second largest branch office of the company in the state. Aside from being a successful insurance man, Mr. Singfield is the first and present president of the Negro Business League, and the representative of the league at the National Negro Business League convention, which meets in Boston, Mass., next month. He is one of the most highly respected Negro business men in the city. He is a prominent member of the First, Bryan Baptist Church, being president of the B. Y. P. U. His fraternal activities are many and varied. Beside being past chancellor of Crescent Lodge, K. of P., he is a past master Mason, a prominent Odd Fellow, an influential member of the United Brotherhood of America, the Golden Circle and the Independent Benevolent Order of America. Mr. Singfield's name has been prominently mentioned by his friends for some of the honors of the Knights of Pythias and will probably be nominated at the grand lodge session which meets here next week. The order will do itself honor to elect a man of Mr. Singfield's caller to any office within its gift. LED HER CLASS The name of Miss Margaret, Shelton was omitted from the list of honor students of eighth grade B, of Cuyler Street school. Miss Shelton made an average of 93, and was the valedictorian of her class. MISS J. BROWN GRADUATES Miss Josephine Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Brown of this city, but for a number of years residing in Los Angeles, Cal., graduated with honor from the St. Frances Academy, Baltimore, Md., at its eighty-sixth commencement exercises on June 23rd She was awarded a diploma in music and acted as pianist in several of the musical numbers on the program. She was also awarded "The Bouvier" gold conduct medal, given by Miss Mary H. Bouvier of New York. The news of her accomplishments were received with much delight here by her friends. Miss Brown is a Savannahian by birth and is the god-child of Mrs. Josephine Jennings the proprietress of the Pekin theatre. NUMBER 42 PLEASANT OUTING TO "OLD FOLKS" BY URBAN LEAGUE ANNUAL PICNIC AT CATTLE PARK VERY ENJOYABLE Religious Services Held by the Happy Old Folks—Singing of Old Time Hynus Inspiring—Rev. Martin Conducted the Services—Interesting Incidents of Many Years Ago Related Uttering words of praise on every side for the local branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, a band of about fifty elderly persons who were taken on a picnic to, Cattle Park on last Wednesday returned to the city about 8 o'clock that evening as happy and gleeful as a crowd of children returning from a Sunday school outing. The outing was the second annual picnic for the old folks which has been given by the Willing Workers and Sunshine committee of the Urban League and afforded the old folks a day replete with pleasure and happiness. Remembering the delightful time they experienced on the League's outing last year, the old folks began to assemble at the various meeting places in the city as early as eight o'clock Wednesday morning altho they were informed the day before that the wagons would not leave before 9:30 o'clock. As they sat around waiting for the time to arrive for them to start for the picnic grounds their usually drawn and sad faces betrayed the joyous times they were anticipating and the happy greeting which they gave each member of the party as he came up, attracted the attention of all passers-by. The wagons which were to convey the picnickers to Coffee Park, arrived at the meeting places on scheduled time and the manner in which the old folks boarded them would have done credit to acrowd of school children, every one of them climbing in with a spring and dash which was amazing. At the grounds the pure salt air seemed to put even more vigor into the plnckickers, and their eyes sparkled with delight as they took in the almost incomparable beautiful natural scenery which surrounds Cattle Park. A few minutes before noon the dinner, which was made possible by voluntary contributions, was served. There under the beautiful moss covered trees and while enjoying the many edibles which were perpared for them, the happy old folks, one after another, began relating many interesting incidents which happened years before the Civil war. As the speaker would tell of some incident familiar to the others a loud "amen" would greet her and their faces beamed with delight as memories of the past flittered thru their minds. After dinner, religious services were conducted by Rev. J. A. Martin, pastor of St. Paul C. M. E. Church. Practically every one of the old folks took an active part in the services, and the woods "God's first temple", reverberated with the sounds of their voices as they joined in singing the tunes learned in their youthful days. The swaying of their bodies and the plaintive notes of their voices impressed the onlookers with the soulfulness and beauty of the music of by-gone days. Among the crowd of old folks enjoying the outing were some whose ages had reached the century mark while few were below the age of seventy-five. The success of this outing is largely due to the following ladies: Mrs. Josephine Singleton, Mrs. Lucy Newton, Mrs. Sarah Robinson, Mrs. Ellen Spencer, Mrs. Mary Richardson, Mrs. Sarah Wright, Mrs. Henrietta Deas, Mrs. Ruth Robinson, Mrs. Rachael Moore. FABEWELL PARTY A delightful farewell party was given in honor of Mrs. Carry L. Wilson of New York on Monday night at the residence of her brother Mr. Edw. C. Thomas on the Bonaventure road. Quite a number of friends were out and spent an enjoyable time. Mrs. Wilson sailed on Tuesday for New York taking: her niece, little Miss Lula B. Thomas who she will enter in school. The Work of the Fashion is Never Done Blouses Newly Collared and Cuffed and Skirts Uneven at the Bottom New York, July 7th This is a sense season of many surprises. Each day sees a new fashion detail evolved—if it is only a cuff or the caprice of a hem. Style proceeds in a never ceasing evolution, each fancy suggesting yet another, which is straightway put before the public. Fixed seasons for changes of fashion are entirely disregarded and, in the mid-summer, we find such features as Quaker collars,untlet cuffs and uneven Skirts completely up-setting the equilibrium of established styles. The soft, low collars come as a benediction after the up-to-the-cars stocks. The swift reverse of style from one extreme to the other is more than a mere whim of Fashion. Women, by Nestor A Striped Voile Dress with Quaker Collar, Gauntlet Cuff and Uneven Lower Edge. their grudging homage to the high collar, were, as ever, the wedge that forced the mode. Indeed, the American woman has been so humored by past fashions. It is not surprising she refuses to be martyred to the stock. The broad Quaker, and deep-pointed Puritan of Swiss, and the lesses collars that grow out of these, two, are, far more likely, styles for the warm weather. If you intend being really well dressed, wear one of these and look to your cuffs as well as your collar: "Gauntlets" is the live-wire at present—the last word in cuffs. There is no need to describe the style, the name implies its sleeve, protecting appearance. To-day this is the extreme; tomorrow, when its newness, is rubbed off by wearing, it will join the ranks of the regular summer fashion, along with the organdy and Swiss turnback cuffs that match the Quaker and Puritan collars and the sheer inner sleeves that show below the "Castle" sleeves of taffeta. Skirts mark the divergence of the mode. These defy all known rules of Fashion, and dip and hike; in fact, do everything except what is expected of them. Open-front overskirts and longer than the foundation they are worn with, and fly back in the wind to show bright. Inside facings. Full dress skirts have bounds, cavalier slashes around the lower edges, and even tailored skirts show deep points front and back. These do not need even the excuse of a Flatiron or a Times Square corner, to show their brilliant illings and, incidentally, the well-turned ankle on the wearer. Fashion is doing all kinds of queer things these days, such as putting organdy where inffeta belongs and taffeta where you naturally expect organdy. This is just what has happened in one of the new summer frocks, where the soft, rolling collar, pointed vest and innes sleeves are made of the organdy to match the volumious ruffled skirt and the coattee, cut with a premium and held in at the waist, is made of dark blue taffeta. The style is really a trinoline, but no one would ever see it on silk coattee, and cotton skirt, of being a garment over from last, season. Designed then present popularity of plain, dark blue and black taffeta, there is a glowing tendency toward printed silks, cheeker-board patterns, sprinkled with roses, weight strikes and broad bars, prominently in black on white or gold background. The warm weather brings an enormous showing of cotton, too. They come with cern and white grounds printed with large dots, formed of flowers, or embroidered with coin dots and bays in salmon pink, blue and buff. These and lawns duplicate the silks in patterns, all tending toward a stiffness, and fixity of design. Japanese crepe go even farther than the silks, and now show love scenes—Oriental figures in Oriental gardens, printed in black, giving a wierd look to the full skirt of the summer dresses. The newest hats, for eccentricity's sake purely, are made of silk or even velvet. These come in sator shapes, with crown lower, and brims wider than in the early season. The blue tuffenin is combined effectively with white kid and the black velvet with white straw or white flowers. However, the fad of winter hats in summer-time is not faking to the extent that it did last summer, when black velvet in July was unanimous. The outdoor girl sticks to the leghorn and open work "riskha" hat, although, after one coat of "tatooed" tan, she has learned to face the brim of the latter. In direct contrast with the domestic silks and velvets, Paris introduces mid-summer hats of white crepe de Chine, made in large sailor shapes to wear with the light summer dresses. MOCALL The Crinoline Influence Again Apparent In a New Model with Taffeta Coatee and Organdy Skirt Fashions equalizes themselves as hats and dresses grow frivolous, foot wear, return, to safe and sane black patent leather. This is shown in the most expensive long-vamp pumps, with curved heels and large square Colonial buckles or broad instep-straps; a very dark, navy blue leather in featured in a smart tiples, side-lace fee, but this is worn only with a blue suit or dress. It is even rumored that heels will relinquish their curve by fall—if not in all shoes at least in street footwear. Nothing endures long in these days. A woman never wants the same thing twice, not even a shoe, a hat or a glove of the same design as her neighbor bought last week. It must be just as smart, but different. Such movements as "The Dress That Won't Go Out of Date" instigated by the Polimuriel cult do not act as a check, but are merely incentives that urge the designer to renew efforts. Washington, D. C. After, an eight month's flight, the foot-and-month disease has been practically, stamped out and, the danger of another, great destructive animal plague, everted. For this, country has reason to be thankful, for American live stock, already suffers from diseases to an extent of which, few, persons are fully aware, Hog, Cholera, tuberculosis, and, the cattle tick cause, an animal loss, to this country which reaches so high into millions of dollars that it is almost impossible even for trained statisticians to estimate it. The direct loss in death can be computed with reasonable accuracy, but, the indirect losses, which agriculture, in all its branches suffers whenever and wherever there is a scarcity of stock cannot be reconed at Hog cholera and tuberculosis prevail throughout the country; cattle ticks are confined to one section—the South. Hog cholera and tuberculosis presents problems which science has not yet thoroughly solved; cattle ticks already have been eliminated in an area of more than 253,288 square miles and can be eliminated in the rest of the infested-territory whenever the people really determine to rid themselves of th pest. It is no secret that the amount of live stock in the country by no means has kept, pace with, the growth of population. For many years it notually decreased, and although the official figures for January 1, 1915 show a slight increase over the corresponding ones for 1914, this increase is far from proportionate to that in population. The price of meat has risen steadily and the future of the country's supply has become a matter of grave concern. Greater production of live stock upon the farms undoubtedly would go far toward solving the problem. This is especially true of the South. In an estimate quoted recently by the Secretary of Agriculture, it was stated that the average farm home in Georgia produced less than one twelfth of a beef in the course of a year for each person on it. Instead of producing beef to sell to the rest of the country, the south imports much of what it consumes. For this condition of affairs specialists hold two things responsible—cotton and ticks. The danger in a one-crop system of agriculture has now been made apparent and there are many farmers who would gladly abandon it if some substitute were available, and while the cattle tick flourishes the production of cattle is not an inviting prospect. The grower in a tick-infested country labores under a crushing handicap. His cattle weighs less and brings less per pound than those of his competitor in tick-free sections. In Alabama and Mississippi, fo example, the average price for beef on the hoof was, on January 1, 1915, only 4 cents a pound. In Connecticut, it was 8.4 and in no tick-free state was it as low as 5 cents. The average price of beef cattle over two years old was $20 in Alabama and $22 in Mississippi. It was $64 in Wyoming and $60 in Montana. Vermont, with an average of $30 was the only tick-free state in which the price was below $40. In North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, and Arkansas,—all more or less tick-fested—the average price was below $30. Such differences are too striking to be ignored. They represent an animal loss to the farmers of the South of millions of dollars. The Georgia farmer may expect to receive $18 for his beef animal, the Ohio $56. Kentucky, and Indiana $54. For the ten tick-fested states, North Carolina South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, the general average is $25.90; for the remainder of the country it is $48.47. In considering these figures it must be 'horri' in mind that many of the states in the tick country have succeeded in freeing large areas from the pest. Otherwise, the difference in values undoubtedly would be much greater. A great deal of North and South Carolina, for instance, is as free from ticks as Ohio or Indiana. Oklahoma has grappled so vigorously with the pest and has cleaned so much of its territory that the average value for cattle has risen to $42 a head. In Florida, on the other hand, where no systematic work has as yet been done, the average is $18. One reason for the low average value of Southern cattle is unquestionably the disastrous effect of the tick upon all, attempts to improve the breed. Pure-bred stock imported for breeding purposes are exposed to danger of death from, tick, fever, that, it is not sound business to incur the risk. Producers are, therefore, compelled to do the best, they can with the native cattle, which have acquired a certain degree of immunity. That there is no profit in scrubs is an old cattle, raiser's, maxim and in this connection a comparison of average weights of beef cattle may be interesting. In Florida, on January 1, 1915, it was 340 pounds; in Wyoming, 885; in Idaho, 906; in Montana, 938. In Mississippi it was 550; in Alabama, 500; in Louisiana, 471; in Georgia, 419. Outside of the tick country, connecticut was the one state to fall below 600 pounds. There are, of course, other factors than the tick in the raising of beef in the South, but in view of these figures, it is hard to escape from the conclusion that wherever the tick is, there the value of cattle is low. In follows; also, that, the farmer makes, little, effort, to develop this source of profit or what would be a source of profit under other circumstances. Not only does he himself suffer infinitely in consequence directly from loss of income, and indirectly through loss of soil fertility but the whole country suffers from an inadequate meat supply. For this reason, the federal government is as vitally interested in the work of tick eradication, as it is in the suppression of mosquitoes and prevention of tuberculosis. Although the tick tested territory, wherever the people have voted to free themselves from the tax the next leyles upon them, federal inspectors are co-operating with local authorities and organizations in the erection of vats and the supervision of regular systematic dipping. As fast as territories are cleared the quarantine is removed from it and stock owners in the community thus enabled to market their cattle on an equal footing with stock from other section of the country. As has already been said, 253,288 square miles have been freed in this way since beginning the work in 1900, and in addition much useful work has been done in areas still under quarantine. Within fifteen years, if the same rate of progress is maintained, the entire country should be free and ticky cattle in forgotten evil. But there is every reason to believe that as the evidence against the tick piles up, the progress will become more and more rapid. It cannot be too rapid for the good of the entire country. THE BEST PLACE In Savannah FOR MEN'S GOOD SHOES Prices $3.50 up B. H. Levy Bro. & Co. The seven seals of Revelation VI are God's moving pictures, as it were, thrown upon the prothetic screen. They show the development of the great apostasy in the christian church, concluding with the return of Jesus Christ to receive the faithful and destroy the false. As the pathetic seals are opened in succession, so the events they symbolize follow in succession. The first five represent the development of the great apostasy in the church, as it developed and became a persecuting power. The last two seals relate to the signs of the end, and the second coming of Christ. As each seal is opened, John sees the prophetic horsemen appear, one after another. God frequently said the symbol of a horse portrays the work of the church on earth. The first seal, a white horse with a rider who bears a crown and a bow is an emblem of the triumph of the gospel during the first century. The whiteness of the horse may well signify the purity of the faith in that age. The unparelleled by his going forth conquering and to conquer.

The second seal, the red horse, and rider with the big sword, represents the experience of the church from 100 to 323 A.D. The contrast in the color of the horses in most significant The "ministry of iniquity" was already at york. (2 Thess. 2:7). Errors arose, and worldliness came in. The apostasy grew and deepened during the third period, as is indicated by the black horse and rider. Black is the very opposite of white. Between 323 and 538 A.D. the greatest errors sprawp up in the church. Collaracy of priests, was introduced worship of images and reliess prayers to the dead, holy water, purgatory, and the exaltation of the Bishopric. Paganism was incorporated into the church. The pale horse on which death rode, followed by hell, and the grave, well represents the great persecutions by the church, during the dark ages. Millions of the, people, of God, were, put to death and the Bible, which, contains the truth of God, was suppressed. The fifth seal relates the reformation period, and the restraint of the persecuting power of the apostate church. The martyrs had been misrepresented, their motives maligned, their graves covered with shame. But the reformation, exposed, the corruption, of the gigantie church, system. The cause of the martyrs was vindicated. No longer regarded as vile heretics, their names were now, revered. The sixth seal covers history from the reformation to the second coming of Christ. Those who recognize the signs therein, given, as omens that unmistakably herald the return of Jesus, will welcome Him, under the seventh seal. The darkening of the sun and moon was fulfilled, May 19, 1780. The falling of the stars, (meteors) was fulfilled, Nov. 13, 1833. History declares them, but science cannot explain them. They were sloppy hung in the heavens by the living God. Looking down the stream of time, the prophet next beholds the second coming of Christ. We are living between the 13th and 14th verse of Revelation VI. The events of verse thirteen are past. We stand in God's drama of the ages. The world's dream of security will soon be rudely shattered. Those who were too proud to pray to the Creator now pray to the rocks to fall on them and hide them from the face of Him who now brings destruction. They shall read what they have sown by a life of sin. They cannot conceal their guilt, nor escape the long delayed vengeance. The seventh seal opens with a brief, absolute silence in heaven. Why?

The Sengstacke School in Woodville held its closing exercises at Pilgrim Congregational Church. The school joined with the pupils in rendering the cantata, "The carnival of flowers. Miss Catherine Bacon led the carnival and Miss G. Roberta Thomas saul. The troop by Malpays Thompson, Ethel Sengstacke and Nettie Burke, was well rendered. Little Florence Sengstacke was angels of the flowers. Little Miss Margurielte Davis deserves much credit for the way she acted her part. Mrs. Mittle Reid sang a beautiful solo "Thy will be done." The soln, "The earth is the Loris," by Mrs. M. M. Thomas was also good. Collection was then taken up, after which came the "Carnival of flowers." As more beautiful arrangement of flowers can scarcely be had than was presented in this exercise, and each pupil acted his part well. The church was beautifully decorated with vines, pearlprints and artificial flowers, made by the pupils and teachers. The annual plenic was largely attended by parents and friend. The teachers of the school are, Mrs. M. M. Thomas and Miss E. C. Sengstacke. A musical and social feast will be given at the First African Baptist Church. Rev. T.

We hear much these days about colored people not patronizing colored business enterprises— The truth of the matter is that many Colored business men have neither kept pace with the broadening and discriminating tastes of the Colored customer nor with the specialized efforts of their white competitors. This is the age of specialized selling methods and the Colored merchant must "fall in" or "fall out." The difference between the business which is "mighty fine" and "just so-so" is the difference in merchandising methods. We can help you to put your business into the "mighty fine" class.

Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Georgia, as Second class Mail Matter. The faking of two innocent Negroes' lives by a mob near Macon last Sunday night brings forth once again the dreadful perpetrations by blood-thirsty men, which are being carried out almost daily either in this or other Southern state against Negroes. In this particular case of mob violence, the victims, an old man and his son, were acknowledged by the one who was in no knowledged by those who were in position to know, to have taken part at all in the murder of the white man whose death the mob was avenging and to have known little or nothing of the murder. Unheedful of the pleas of the victims, the mob, beent on seeing the blood of a Negro spilled, ruthlessly put to death the two men without even attempting to find out whether they were the ones connected with the murder of the man. What brave men these mobs of a hundred or more men who exhibit such wonderful courage in taking the lives of innocent, harmless persons. But why marvel at or look askance at last Sunday night's mob carnage! It is nothing new, it has been going on for years and that without state authorities so much as turning a hand to stop it. Among the greatest helps of the Negro financial institutions throut the South are the fraternal organizations. Their funds ranging up in the hundreds of thousands, form a neat sum which in many instances is yearly deposited in many of the Negro banking institutions in this and other sections of the Southland. Many of the Negro banks of the South are upon as sound a basis as are white institutions of like character and where ever their business is conducted upon a safe and conservative basis and their standing in the financial world warrants it the funds of Negro organizations, fraternal or otherwise, should be deposited in them. It is true that several Negro banking institutions have fallen by the wayside because of improper management or chicanery on the part of some officials connected with the institution and for that reason many Negroes still look upon Negro banks with an eye of suspicion, yet this very same thing has happened with white banks and not infrequently have, hundreds of Negroes been made to lose thousands of dollars when these latter institutions failed. The comparative failures in proportion to the number of Negro banks to those of the whites, are believed, in favor of the former. Along with a more adequate knowledge of the banking business and a desire to safe guard the money in their keeping, Negro bankers have, in the past ten years, as has been the case in other lines of Negro commercial endeavor, strengthened their grasp upon the sound methods of conducting their institutions and the time is now at hand when the Negro must not look with an eye single to past failures but must view the situation as it actually exists and give to their own financial institutions that patronage which they deserve and merit. In Georgia we have some of the strongest, financially fraternal organizations to be found in the country. Several of these deposit their funds with Negro banks, while others do not. We commend the attitude of the local Negro Business League in asking that the Knights of Frytis who meet here next week deposit at least a part of their funds in Negro banks. The Knights might well follow the example of the Masons and other organizations by placing their funds in the hands of Negro bankers. As loyal members of the race the order should enjoin upon those who have charge of its finances to place them in the keeping of our own financial institutions. There are thousands of members of the Knights who have confidence enough in Negro banks to make them the depository for their own personal savings and if Negro banks are sound enough to take care of their earnings then they are surely sound enough to act as depositories for the Order's money. Let the Knights show their race loyalty and race confidence by patronizing Negro banks. AT THE Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A presented another of its interesting programs on last Sunday. The principal address was delivered by Mr. J. G. Garey, the well known baker. Mr. Garey's address, replete with many practical and wholesome suggestions, elicited much favorable comment from those present. Among those who followed Mr. Garey in short speeches were: Rev. J. A. Martin, Messrs S. S. Horne, Chas Barnett, A. B. Singfield, E. W. Sherman, Prof. R. M. Cooper. Col D. W. Perkins, the well known Negro attorney of Knoxville, Tenn., was present and addressed the association in a manner both pleasing and helpful. On Sunday night the association repaired to the F. B. B. Church, Rev. Daniel Wright pastor, where a cordial reception awaited its members. Making frequent references in his sermon to the good work being done by the association, Dr. Wright made new friends for the association among the members of his congregation. A substantial collection was given the association by the church To morrow promises to be an unusual day for the association. Irr. Chas. Stewart, the only Negro member of the Associated Press, will be in the city and address a mass meeting of men, under the muspices of the Y. M. C. A. The meeting will take place at the First A. B. Church, Franklin square, and will begin promptly at 3:30 p. m. All men of the city are urged to be present, as Prof. Stewart easily ranks as one of the most eloquent and convincing speakers of the American platform. FUNERAL NOTICE The members of the EUREKA Aid & ATHLETIC CLUB are hereby ordered to meet at the club room, W., Gwinnett street, at 1 o'clock, Sunday July 31, 1915, for the purpose of paying the last tribute of respect to our deceased member, Frank D. Bell. By order, W. H. Norman, president Tos. H. Greene, secretary. J. Charles Mardenborough Rev S. Knight of the white M. E. Church preached a very interesting sermon at the colored M. E. church on Sunday night. Nearly fifty of Rev. Knight's members were out. We appreciate the spirit shown both by Rev. Knight and his members in as much as it will have an effect of bringing about a general unity between the races which is often all the underlining principles of our progress. Rev. J. S. M. Maynard has gone in the northern part of the state at which place he will spend several days. We hope for him a plasant stay The sad news of the death of Miss Queen Hayward was expected, yet it filled many hearts with sadness. The young lady was known and well thought of by a host of friends. Mrs James Whym and little daughter are the guest of Mrs. Daisy Michel Riley. We are glad to see them. Mr. Whym is also here having been here several months. Mr. Arthur Riley has been here several weeks visiting his relatives, M. C. and P. A. Riley. We hope for him a pleasant stay. Messrs Charles and Edward Wright came in last week having been called here by the sad occasion of the death of their sister. They have our deepest sympathy. Mrs. Daisy Michel Riley has been indisposed for several weeks. We hope her better. Mesdames S. A. Solomons, Julla Mitchell and Miss Chloe Mitchell spent the day at Politeville, even though it was a business trip, they expressed themselves having had much enjoyment afterward. A very nice picnic was had on Spring Island, altho it was the 3rd it was really intended as the celebration of the 4th of July. This speaks well for the people because it shows that they realize that this is their country and are alive to the fact of what an important part the Negro has played in the independence of this country, therefore, it is his duty to love and celebrate the day of independence. Mr. J. H. Alston and his two little sons spent several days in Savannah, he expresses himself as having had a very pleasant time. Mrs. Nancy Mitchell is on the slick list. We hope for her an early recovery. The writer had an occasion to go thru the country this week and the fields look well. This shows that the Negro farmer has come to the one truth that has been some-what overlooked up to this time, that is: you can't eat cotton. It is a sad fact that this was only realized because of the low price for cotton but it should never be forgotten. Plant more foodstuff especially the one-horse farmer. Capt. John Haynes made a business trip to Savannah this week. Blufton has become a nice summer resort for the city folks. A few have already come out. You have the advantage of the sea breeze, all sorts of fishing, protected swimming forts and access to the public school library where you might spend an afternoon with Scott, Dickens, Booker Washington, Chas Chestnut, George Elliott, Bulver-Lytton, Harold Bell Augusta J. Evans and Alex Dumas, also many others. There are also two steamers from Savannah every other day and mall every day, more over, a telephone system connected with all the larger places. You who have been here before remember Ranch No 101. If you desire information address your letters to the Vacation Bureau, Bluffton, S. C. This department only takes in well recommended persons others need not apply. If you desire special service address Mike Riley, president of Vacation Bureau. K. OF P. SUPREME LODGE Press agents report from Columbus, Ohio, detailing alleged arrangements being made for the entertainment of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, have been rather roseate, but they do not tally with information received by many K. of P's and friends through out the country. Press agent reports speak glowingly of halls secured for meetings and entertainments, but scant assurance is given to proper housing of the many K. of P's expected to be in attendance. Private information which members of the order have received, is to the effect that the colored citizens generally, at Ohio's capitol, are not enthusiastic about entertaining the meeting. Report 45 that even the subordinate lodges there had not joined in asking for the meeting. Press agents reports allege that between 25,000 and 30,000 visitors are expected. Where are they to be accommodated? We understand that the public hotels will be shut against them. We understand that the citizens, colored citizens are showing no disposition to open their homes to them, the visiting Knights, and friends. Where are these 25,000 or 30,000 colored Knights and visitors to be sheltered and fed? Are they to be bedded upon the grass of the commons, and fed from baskets at street corners? Does the committee in charge of the entertainment realize the "bligness" of the affair. It is not right to invite an organization so large and so important and so beneficent as the Knights of Pythias to convene in a city and then fall to make ample arrangements for their accommodations. And the question arises: is Columbus big enough to entertain the order? Grave doubts are entertained by colored K. of P.'s throughout the country, judging from information we have received, as to whether or not they will be properly cared for at Columbus, and this newspaper would be false to its readers if it urged, even by press agent notices, attendance at a meeting in any city where proper, and positive, assurance had not been given as to accommodations. What assurance has Columbus to give?—New York Age. EUREKAS DEFEAT Y. G. E's In a snappy game of baseball on Wednesday afternoon at Athletic park the Eureka baseball team defeated the Y. G. E's by a score of 6 to 3. Both teams played good ball and every moment during the struggle was exciting A goodly number of fans, were out and from the cheering it could be seen that the game was being enjoyed. The article of ball that the boys put up was in professional style and was indeed worth witnessing. Burns who did the twirling for the Y. G. E's worked well, pulling himself out of several bad positions. Three times with bases full and no one down, he retired the other batsmen that faced him in one, two, three order. Haywood, who was in the box for the Eurekas also pitched well, but in the sixth inning he went a little up in the air when the Y. G. E's rallied and made three runs tieling the score. Up to this time the score was 3 to 0 in favor of the Eurekas. He was given excellent support by his teammates. Walter Jackson who took care of the left garden for the losing team was the star of the occasion and the chances he accepted brought the fans to their feet several times. Several bad decisions by the umpire were noted and the little disputes that arose from them were quietly settled. Following is the result of the game: Y. G. E's.....000 003 000 - 3 7 6 Eurekas .....200 013 000 - 6 12 3 Batterles; Eurekas; Haywood; and Ginn; Y. G. E's, Burns and Johnson; two base hits Green, Monroe and Stevenson; sacrafe hits Smith, Glinn and Haywood; base on balls: of Burns 2; pass ball, Johnson 1; time 1:45; umplre Hagary. SOME POINTED COMMENT The strength of the administration is enhanced not so much by the declaration of the standard as by the constructiveness of the units which compose it. It seems to me that the efficiency of the officers of the order shoul be stressed, the accomplishments analyzed and the efficacy of those accomplishments explored. If the strength or any other unit of the Order would bring strength and popularity to the administration, it should handle its successes and failures justly and equitably, weighing one against the other and urging the necessity of the performance of acts which would bring greater success. These methods, it seems to me, would be of far greater advantage to the administration than a single dedovation of the intention to re-elect the entire force. PAY ALL YOUR BILLS WITH CHECKS As has been intimated, the coming K. of P. Grand Lodge will busy itself with measures—with men, only as men can contribute to beneficent measures. It is the custom, however, to figure upon the election of officers during, almost, the entire session, notwithstanding the fact that officers are but a small part of the membership of the Order. We grow, each year, more of the opinion that the rank and file should be reckoned of something besides death indemnities should be held out to them. There should be an effort to remove taxations, or to minimize them that the rank and file might have a breathing spell that the "little fellow" might have a bite of "ple", and herein rests our only complaint, our only criticism, our only casus bell. For we are a part and parcel of common people, the contributor, the burden bearers. To save us we cannot fall to lift our volces in defence of them. OPEN A CHECKING Account and you will have a record and receipt for every payment you make. Any woman's money is better off in a good bank this one, for instance-than kept in her purse or desk. The other day in Macon, M. W. Reddick, the common man's friend, shot into the Baptist firmament, a shining star and dazzled into uncontrollable frenzy a seething multitude with matchless eloquence. Such eloquence is born among the common people but finds favor with the multitude. Such power cannot be coerced; it will not down. The people are waking up and when the people awake the thunder of Jove must quiet. This feat will be repeated in many of the large gatherings of the state if proper recognition is not given to the common people. This occurrence is but a pointer and should be pondered upon by all aspirants for honors. We especially invite women's check accounts; make banking as simple as A-B C for them; help them, in every way possible, to handle their money judiciously. Let us, therefore, stretch patriotism beyond officers, even into the furrow and the forests where the common people labor honestly to support men upon whom they depend for construction and beneficent measures.

In connection with this, Mr. Edwards has given out that he is going to show what the Negro press is doing. He has asked all the Negro newspapers, magazines and publications to send not less than two and not more than one dozen copies of their publication to his address, 218 N. Connecticut, Avenue, Atlantic City, N. J., at once, so that he can exhibit them on the "streets of Atlantic City" in Richmond, Virginia. He is to have rolling chairs, bathing establishments, stores, etc. The members of the Press Association are to co-operate with Mr. Edwards, that his exhibit may be a success.

Sermond Rev Irby alternate Rev. Alex Hamilton Wednesday Night July 21 Prayer meeting led by Bros. Dainiel Slimmons and A.J. Smith. Sermon Rev. N.H. Whitmire alternate Rev. D. Davis pastor of Second Baptist Church Refreshments The True Master-Builder Underestimating a and depreciating Ancient Operative Masonry, and regarding Speculative Masonry as a merely moral and social institution, is a great mistake. Thinking that the burden bearers of operative times were mere plodders, that the Fellow Crafts were mere quarries and pillars of stone, and that Masters, or overseers, were mere directors of the work, is serious erring. Craft-men who so think fall to discern that ancient operative Masonry was an art and science requiring intelligence and skill in its branches, and demanding that the Masters of Operers be thorough geometricians and skilled architects. Variety they consider the account of the erection of King Solomon's temple at Jerusalem, and in its plain and constriction discern but little wisdom, of strength, or of beauty. Superficially they read of both more ancient and more modern operative work, with no better result. So to them ancient Master-building seems common, and they make the great mistake of according it little honor and glory. To them the fact is miscellaneous that the Ancient Masters, or Overseers, were inventors of order and symmetry in architecture, and consequently, were such artists and scientific planners and designers of temples and places that each stone and timber had a particular place in which it was well-pensible, and was so finished that in placing it in the structure, no are hammer or tool of iron was requisite. To them it seemed preposterous and impossible that the great practical secret of Ancient Operative Masonry was the perfect application of the principles of geometry and astronomy in architecture, and that workmen were so skillful that they could construct a building that a single arch would support the entire roof, or could finish or adjust a stone that it would stand like an egg on one end. They do not know, or they forget, that job was a master of geometry and astronomy, and wrote of Arcturus, of Orion, of the Pleiades, of the Chambers of the South, of the North as an empty place, of the earth as hanging upon nothing, and of the pillars of heaven. They do not know, or forget, that Hiram, King of Tyre, and Solomon King of Israel, acknowledged the artificer of the temple as FATHER and therefore wise and greater than themselves, and not, so knowing or so forgetting, they make the great mistake of very lightly esteeming the intelligence and skill of the Ancient Operative Craft, and so imagining that there is nothing in Speculative Masonry worthy of profound study and devotion. Being thus, in darkness they need instructors—dispensers not trust and convince them that Ancient Operative Masonry was indeed a great art and secrecy worthy of mankind and God's approbation and blessing, and to show them that Speculative Masonry symbolically imply and spiritually in the rightful and faithful success and perseverance. Beijing thus in mind makes the victims of great lifeoke—the need to be deeply impressed with the truth that as Jehovah was the supreme thought and objects of Solomon's Temple and of Operative Masonry. The supreme of Speculative Masonry and the true Master Builder is his erect the Temple of the soul of His holy and glory. Such building for time and eternity, and thus may all Freemasonry build—Selected. True secrets of Freemasonry are to be considered very much as the latch keys to a man's house, a means of entrance denied to all but those confined to their possession. The symmetry and beauty of the exterior officer may be observed by any one coming to look even the interior of decohools, appointments, buildings and works of art, may occasion, be seen by others than the owner, but the right or interest is denied to all but those having the key of admission. Freemasonry has nothing to concern. To those worthy and well qualified who seek her bestows the keys of entrance with all the rights and privileges their possession entitles but she makes her decor show of her possession or charm. Her secrets, however, are intrinsically valuable, and are many times worth their cost. Were this not so, there would be no healthy growth to our fraternity, for a corrupt tree cannot bring forth good fruit, and it is the good fruits hanging in disarray and tempting that attracts and makes accessions to the ranks of Freemasonry possible for all must come unmasked. There are no proselytes in Freemasonry. Trayer meeting led by Deas. Jas. Cooper and Robert Jacobs. Song.....By Choir Diosology. Chant.....By Choir Prayers.....By Pastor Song.....By Choir Hymn.

Church Franklin square on Monday night on his famous subject, "Sambo waxed fat and kicked." 2 Stop in the shade if possible. 3 Water your horse as often as possible. So, long as a horse is working, water in small quantities will not hurt him. But let him drink only a few swallows if he is going to stand still. Do not fail to water him at night after he has eaten his hay. 4 When he comes in after work, sponge off the harness marks and sweat, his eyes, his nose and mouth and the dock. Wash his feet but not his legs. 5 If the thermometer is 75 degrees or higher, wipe him all over with a damp sponge. Use vinegar water if possible. Do not turn the hose on him. 6 Saturday night, give him branness and brillie, wash out his finchily, spunge him all over, shower his legs, mash, hive up, amp, and add a teaspoonful of saltpetre.

The ordinary bell shape hat does more harm than good. 8 A sponge on top of the head, or even a cloth is good if kept wet. If dry if it is worse than nothing. 9 If the horse is overcome by heat, get him into the shade, remove harand, give him two ounces of aromatic spirits of ammonia, or two ounces of sweet spirits of nitre in a pint of water; or give him a pint of coffee warm. Cool his head at once, using cold water, or, if necessary, chopped ice, wrapped in a cloth. 10 If the horse is off his feet, try him with two quarts of oats mixed with bran, and a little water; and add a little salt or sugar. Or give him oatmeal gruel or barley water to drink. 11 Watch your horse. If he stops sweating suddenly, or if he breathes short and quick, or if his ears droop, or if he stands with his legs braced sideways, he is in danger of a heat or sun stroke and needs attention at once. 12 If it is so hot that the horse sweats in the stable at night, tie him outside, with bedding under him. Unless he cools off during the night, he cannot well stand the next day's heat. GRATITUDE By Samuel J. Ross, M. D. So glad are our hearts to-day.

Text of, the Lesson, I Kings ill, 4-15. Memory Verses, 9, 10-Golden Text, Prov. ix, 10-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. In every record there are the two sides, God's and ours. His is always perfect; on ours is the failure. The sinfulness of man and the wonderful grace of God sum up one phase of the whole Bible story. Last week we saw Solomon on the throne of the Lord as king and prospering (I Chron. xxii, 23). Today we are told that Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of David, his father, only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places (verse 3). "That "only" does not sound well, nor does the affinity with Pharaoh, king of Egypt of verse 1. It looks like the beginning of wandering, a heart not perfect with the Lord: Egyptian fellowship, as well as horses and wives, seems to be forbidden in Deut. xvii, 16, 17. In II Chron. 1, 1, we read that "the Lord his God was with him and magnified him exceedingly and strengthened him in his kingdom." More he could not ask, and all that was required of him was to walk before God in truth with all his heart and soul (I Kings 11, 3, 4). The ark of God was in the tent which David had prepared for it at Jerusalem, but the tabernacle of Moses with the brazen altar and all the other furniture was at Gibbeon (II Chron. l. 3-5), and there Solomon and all Israel offered many burnt offerings (lesson verse 4). In every sacrifice we should see the Son of God and His one great offering once for all, by virtue of which not only salvation, but every blessing, comes to us sinners. In all the Old Testament story were many offerings and many kinds, but all pointed to Golgotha and were all fulfilled in Him, so that to us Christ is all: That night after the great sacrifice the Lord God appeared to Solomon, saying, "Ask what I shall give thee" verse 5; II Chron. l. 7). "He who spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" (Rom. vill. 32.) "If ye shall ask anything in my name I will do it" (Johnxiv. l. 14). These and many similar assurances are ours, but who has proved the power of them? We must ask according to His will and that"He may be glorified and then rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him, for His time and way are always best. Up to this time Solomon seems very humble and conscious of his unfitness for such a position, for he says, "I am but a little child; I know not how to go out or come in" (verse 7). Such an attitude toward God is always sure of His help and guidance. See Jer. 1, 7-9; II chron. xx. 12. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs, is the kingdom with all its righteousness, and peace and joy even while on the way to the kingdom. Solomon summed up his need, as he then saw it in his request for a wise and understanding heart, that he might discern between good and bad and rule the people in righteousness. The Lord was pleased, with his request, and granted, him, what he asked, and also things he did not ask for, such as riches and honor, so that both in wisdom, riches and honor he excelled all others (verses 12, 13). After his vision or dream he manifested his gratitude by offering sacrifices to God at Jerusalem (15). There are two expressions in this lesson, for various reasons: worthy of special attention. Solomon in his request said that the people over whom he ruled were like the dust of the earth in multitude, and it is written that "God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding—exceeding much and largeness of heart, ever as the sand that is on the seashore (II Chron. 1, 9; I Kings' 15, 29). The two expressions "dust of the earth" and "sand upon the seashore" seem to cover the same ground. Compare Gen. xxil. 10; xxil. 17. The thought seems to be that God And thou shoust be so that you gave Solomon wisdom to meet each individual case, as it might arise. A notable illustration is given in I Kings III, 16-28. It is written that Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country and all the wisdom of Egypt, for he was wiser than all men; and there came of all people to bear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom (I Kings iv. 30, 31, 34). We cannot, but think of the wisdom of Joseph and of Daniel, which was greater than all the wisdom of Egypt and of Babylon, in their days. But what is that to me? He who gave this wisdom still lives and is Himself the power of God and the wisdom of God; the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me (I Cor. l. 24; Gal. l. 20). It is written, "If any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God." and it shall be given him, but let him ask, in faith, nothing wandering. There is a wisdom that is earthly sensual, devilish, but the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle and easy to be entreatened (Ibs. l. 6; III. 15-17). We need continually to know the way wherein we may walk and the thing that we may do, and to pray. Cause me to know the ways wherein I should walk, for it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps (Jer. xxil. 3: x. 22; Ps. xxil. 8). but we can rely on Ps. xxil. 8 only we are honest in our desire for guidance and seek not our own will or pleasure. Then we shall experience Isd. 15-17. AT ALL GOOD DEALERS 50¢ UP The Secret of a Good Figure often lies in the brassiere.

Negro girls and women openly paraded the streets dressed in men's apparel. Some of these actually entered saloons, walked up to the counters and ordered drinks, only to be ordered out by the proprietors or clerks. There is a law which is supposed to prohibit women wearing men's clothing, yet some of the brazen and abandoned ones paraded right in the presence of the law officers without molestation. It is hoped that Monday witnessed the last of such performances for this city. If the thing is again attempted, reputable Negroes declare, Negro men, in the interest of common decency, they will take the matter in hand and see to it that the culprits are locked up. Capt. Jno. M. Barnes of Thompson, who ran amuck of Judge Speer's court while U. S. marshal of this district, and who, in consequence, was "fired" by wire by President Roosevelt, informed the writer that he is a candidate for chairman of the republican party' in Georgia. When informed that a certain politician from the "Piedmont Ascarpment" who for brevity may be called "Middlebrooks had stated that colored republicans should not, support the aforesaid Captain Barnes for the reason that he (Barnes) in his statement before the recent con- gressional committee sent down here by a democratic administration to "kill" Judge Emory Speer, had charged that the Judge had personally conducted the campaign of a Negro against a white man (Jew) for national committeeman from Georgia. The Captain denied having made the statement as stenographically reported and printed in the record. He says he simply stated that the judge engaged in politics, and did not refer specifically to the Negro. Of course we were not present, but we have copies of the committee's report which is exactly opposite to what Mr. Barnes stated to us. Wait till it gets cooler! Our Course A daily paper in this city boasts that Augusta has the best Negroes in the country, and with seeming ecstacy says this is due to the lack that Augusta Negroes have nothing to do with politics. Ahem! The Negroes of Augusta are citizens who are presumed to be clothed with the same political rights as other people. They are tax payers and are as much interested in good government as the "cracker", the Irishman, the Russian, the Greek and the Italian. City officers and other officers are political, and when time comes to select officers, they have a perfect right to aid in selecting good Officers. This is politics. Fifty years ought to help some people to throw off their race hatred. The Negroes here have been allright politically when they (or rather a few of them) were used to importume poor old Bill Taft to appoint a democrat postmaster in the place of a life long republican. "My! how we apples do swim." Good for the Governor Governor Wambaugh of Pennsylvania has revoked the order of his predecessor to turn Joe. Grant, an Augusta (Ga.) Negro over to the South Carolina authorities to be tried for murder, and the attorney general of South Carolina has gone to Harrisburg to argue the case before the governor. As an answer let Grant's lawyers read to the governor the reports of the lynchings of Negroes in Georgia the past week. Cole Blease and his kind are still in South Carolina, sir! Ex-governor Slaton, in an interview in the New York World, deals the white people of the state a severe blow. He says, in effect, they are hoodlums. Allright, just let the ex-governor announce for public office, and he will learn a thing or two. He Didn't Get the Money Some moons ago an enterprising young man, desirous of knowing his fortune consulted a medium. Among other things she told him there was a large sum of money buried in his yard. With visions of a fortune the young man assembled two or three of his close friends to whom he imparted the secret. Congratulations and offers, of aid in digging were tendered. Night came on and the party with shovel and spade got busy. They digged until they had well nigh undermined my friend's residence. Just about this time it was my friends time to go into the hole again. While he was several feet below the surface his friends disappeared. Becoming tired my friend in the hole looked up and beckoned for relief. Again and again he threw up the distress signal. He could not speak as the chest containing the money would move further into the earth. As a last resort in an effort to attract his friends he uttered several thrilling "oo! oo! oo! oo! oo! These attracted a policeman who ran in to investigate, falling into the hole on the aforesaid creosus. Suffice it to say that the "cop" in the interest of the sanitation of that neighborhood remained there until that hole had been filled. The prohibitionists tell us they are going to have the legislature put on real prohibition. Thought, they put on the real article in 1908. Judge Erwin of the police court is one of the, best judges that court has ever had. He punishes with a view to reform the individual, while the fines imposed are in keeping with justice and common sense. The Board of Education has purchased a lot fronting Gwinnet street in order to relieve the congestion in the play grounds of Maug street public school. Tardy, but better so than never. The many friends of Miss Bertha E. Gilbert, one of public school teachers, regret to learn of her serious injury which resulted from a fall while returning from Thankful church several nights ago, and hope for her a speedy recovery. The Shiloh Orphanage committee held an important meeting at the Haiues school building last Tuesday. The orphanage, since taken from the management of the late Daniel McHorton several years ago, has been greatly improved and has enlisted the active co-operation of many of our best men and women. Mr. Ed Pritchard, who has been quite ill at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Pritchard on Park avenue, is much improved, to the delight of his parents, relatives and friends. The Pythians of Augusta are planning to erect a magnificent temple of their own. Within a year this long felt need will be supplied. The Negroes of Augusta need to get together and hang together for the good of all. In other words, we need to imbibe much of that spirit which percolates the weekly letters of Mr. J. C. Lindsay in The Tribune, which has had very much to do with the remarkable increase in Negro business in Savannah. Before another issue of The Tribune the Pythian Grand Lodge of 1915 will have passed into history, and all eyes will be focused on Athens. The indications are that it is going to be hot in August. Augusta goes to Savannah every Sunday during the summer. Savannah people come to this side when they have to see the difference. It is up to the railroads to fix inviting rates, the city to eprmit innocent ammusements. Sunday night the First Congregational Church, instead of the usual sermon, will have a song service. Some of the best musical talent of the city will appear, and Rev. Lightner and his people extend an invitation to the public to join them at this service. Rev. C. T. Walker and congregation now worship in their new building, Harrison and Gwinnett streets. The building is far from completion, but the work moves steadily on. The old church has been sold and delivered. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER (Continued from First Page) A. P.
